• Brain Drain

Of Maslow revisited and ESG aspirations ... ACCORDING to a Word Bank Report published recently on the Malaysian diaspora, one million have left the country, with a third of them being tertiary educated. The highly qualified group represents the very much being talked about these days. The authorities are firmly skewered on the horns of perplexity whether to pursue a bold revamp of the talents' socioeco-system and reverse the or continue a perfunctory routine stance. Talent Corp has been set up with the unenviable task of attracting local talent abroad to return and not forgetting retaining those who are still here.

• Ethanol Economic Gain or Drain?

In 2005 and 2007, two pieces of energy related legislation with potentially far reaching consequences became law. A key feature of these bills was a federal mandate to substantially increase the production of ethanol over the next two decades. According to the Renewable Fuels Association, ethanol production has increased by an average of almost 22% per year from 2000 through 2007. The surge in ethanol production can be attributed mainly to three factors: higher crude oil prices; federal production mandates and tax incentives given to ethanol producers; and the use of ethanol as a fuel oxygenate to replace methyl tertiary butyl ether, which was phased out in 2006. Congress has provided numerous incentives for domestic ethanol producers over time, such as subsidies and import tariffs. The...

• First Aid for the Ailing House: Rust Around Tub Drain

Q: Is there any way to refinish or repair part of a bathtub? The enamel around the drain is starting to pit and rust. I have attached a picture. I gutted my bathroom and replaced the bathtub 20 years ago, and it seems the steel tub should have lasted longer than that. The rest of the tub is in very good condition. I cannot afford to replace it again. Do you have any ideas? -- via e-mail A: Unfortunately, the rusting problem you are experiencing often occurs when an inadequate amount of sealant is applied beneath the drain. The water comes in contact with the edges of the steel that are not enameled, and rust eventually starts. But it has taken 20 years!

Most people don't like to think too much about what gets flushed down the toilet - or, more specifically, where that stuff goes. They should. Sewers are a powerful force on Long Island.

• First Aid for the Ailing House: Foul Smell May Be a Drain-Line Issue

Q: I have a problem I hope you can help me with. We had our home built in 2003. As part of the construction, we had the builder rough in for a bathroom in our basement. Several years ago we completed the bathroom in the basement, which consists of a shower, commode and vanity sink. Located directly above the basement bath on the first floor is a half bath, and directly above that on the second floor is a full bath. The problem is that whenever anyone takes a shower in the second- floor bath or when they drain the bathtub after a bath, a sewer smell comes up through the shower drain in the basement. One time my young son took a bubble bath, and when he drained the tub we actually had bubbles coming up through the drain in the shower. I know there is a trap on the shower drain, and I cann...

• Brain Drain and Underdevelopment

Kahanec et al. identify the main scientific and policy challenges concerning migration in the enlarged EU. Rosenow focuses on the developments that led to the "surprising" emergence of integration policies as a new policy field at the EU level. Sahay holds that host countries have policies that encourage or provide the necessary conditions for brain drain to take place. Kuhn and McAusland introduce differences in intellectual property rights, showing that (a) weak domestic IPRs accentuate the gains from knowledge worker emigration, and (b) if source country IPRs are chosen endogenously, BBD becomes even more likely than in the base case.
