		<description><![CDATA[I have always wanted to improve my time management skills—who doesn’t? So I bought a couple of books, The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch being one of them.

They are calculated as the number of units of private pay service-enriched housing (supportive housing and assisted living) in a market area compared to the population over the age of 75.
