The dogs in these races are very strong. In the races, there are many dogs pulling one sled, not just two. The races last for many days. The dogs can pull a sled over the snow all day long. It's a lot of work, but sled dogs love doing it! (Taipei Times)

India has launched one of the world’s largest social policy experiments by transferring cash directly to housewives in recognition of their unpaid domestic labor. Across 12 states, an estimated 118 million adult women regularly receive 1,000 to 2,500 rupees (NT$348 to NT$871), equal to about 5% to 12% of household income.
