A law school graduate has given the term “supermom” a whole new meaning after completing the Illinois State Bar exam during labor and after delivery.

Brianna Hill, 28, was taking part one of the two-part test on Oct. 5 when her water broke. The test was administered remotely this year amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, Hill told “Good Morning America.”

“I started the second section and 15 to 20 minutes in, I started having contractions,” Hill said. “I had already asked for an accommodation to get up and go to the bathroom because I was 38 weeks pregnant and they said I’d get flagged for cheating. I couldn’t leave the view of the camera.”

For investors who are charitably inclined, one giving option is making their donations using shares of appreciated securities.

Whether using shares of individual stocks, ETFs or mutual funds, this can be a good strategy for financial advisers to discuss with their clients who hold appreciated securities inside taxable accounts.

Donating appreciated securities allows investors to contribute the market value of the security while eliminating any capital gains taxes that would be due if they were sold and the investor then donated the cash proceeds. This makes using appreciated securities a tax-efficient approach to charitable giving.

For investors who have positions with a low cost basis in securities like Apple (AAPL) – Get Report, Microsoft (MSFT) – Get Report, Amazon (AMZN) – Get Report or others that have seen significant amounts of appreciation in recent years, the embedded capital gains can be significant.

Take the time to research local customs before making a purchase, though, as some countries find it insulting to receive a gift. Knowing what to do before you go will not only show that you cared enough to learn about your destination’s etiquette, but may also open up all kinds of new doors and opportunities for you and your company.

Many multi-national businesses and their governments have very strict policies when it comes to business associates accepting gifts.
