(ECONOMICS) an alternative metric of poverty; used instead of the poverty level by some researchers.
Developed as a superior alternative to the federal poverty level to estimate the income required for families to pay for their basic needs. Computed at the county level, the SSS takes into account the costs of food, housing, health insurance, childcare, transportation, taxes, and other basic expenses, with component values varying across more than 70 different family types. SSS wages have been calculated to date for all counties in 35 states and the District of Columbia.
Usually people are not concerned by reports of the large numbers of people living below the poverty level, because they assume it just means poor people have to tighten their belts.
The self-sufficiency standard (SSS), if explained, should change this. If a person's wages are below the SSS, then she is not only not making enough to meet her current needs, she's not making enough to preserve her ability to earn what little she has.

Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very small numbers easily. Ex. 2x-3y=-9 is written in standard form
How do you rewrite 2/3 x+ 3 into standard form?

An unimaginable and unattainable prestige of pilot that consist of having all knowledge and experience of aviation. Only the elite of Hamilton decedents can obtain such an honor. This standard allows you to have special privileges, a desire for dramatic situations, and an attention span only matched by small insects.

Jimmy: "You could if you were as successful as Greg, he is part elite in The Hamilton Standard."
Tim: "My father flys for Delta, I guess I can be within The Hamilton Standard."
Dexter: "False."
Mark: "I'm pretty sure I like girls."
Will: "Then you obiviously arn't in The Hamilton Standard."

Jesse Standard Time (JST) is based on the present time zone plus 15 minutes. It's not a standard 15 minutes however and in some cases could be upwards of real-time plus 30 minutes or even 60 minutes.
The origin of Jesse Standard Time is somewhat unknown, but it’s believe it dates back approximately 40 years to 1969.
Jesse Standard Time was first discovered by the author of this term back in 1990. At that time JST was typically only approximately 5 minutes behind real time however over the years JST has increasingly fallen farther behind. Based on statistical analysis of JST over the past 20 years by a team of scientists commissioned by Father time it has been concluded that given the current rate of "time slippage" JST will be a full calendar day behind by sometime in August of the year 2044.
JST cannot be adjusted or altered by any known force in the universe. Many have attempted to compensate for the difference in JST vs. real time by adjusting schedules by up to 30 minutes in hopes to negate the effect. These futile attempts have routinely come up short and have been known to cause JST to slip even farther than normal.
This author recommends that those trying to ignore its existence or to resist JST should just accept it. JST should be embraced by all. JST is a very powerful tool and resistance to its forces will most likely negatively impact your daily schedule, but if used correctly can actually increase the amount of time in your day.
Boss: "Hey Bob, where have you been? We start work here at 8:00AM... It's 8:20AM!!"
Worker: "I'm not late, I'm running on JST."
Boss: "JST, what's that?"
Worker: "That's Jesse Standard Time of course."
