This is some niche Scottish party politics posting so I’ll try and explain this to everyone who isn’t as familiar.

Scottish Labour are the branch office of the UK Labour Party in Scotland. However, due to the slightly more left-wing nature of Scottish politics - they have to toe a particular line compared to UK Labour who are shifting more and more to the right to appease the right-wing majority in England.

Scottish Land Reform is a really hot issue. The vast majority of Scotland is owned by a handful of people so it could bring about some really positive change if something was done about it.

So Scottish Labour puts something out like this knowing that it’ll speak to the vast majority of people who believe in land reform.

But how it’ll go is the Scottish government (Led by the SNP and the Scottish Greens) will move to do something about it and will pass a bill. Scottish Labour will also support it.

The Scottish Conservatives will oppose it with the backing of the UK Conservatives, and use some UK legal nonsense to block or impede it.

Scottish Labour will then withdraw their support, and then put out a load of press releases about the Scottish government and the UK government needing to work together.

Scottish Labour did this with the Deposit Return Scheme, the Gender Recognition Reform Act and for Low Emission Zones. They will 100% do it with this one.

Members of congress have claimed more than $5 million under new expenses rules that allow them to claim back costs without receipts.

The new rules, which have been criticised by transparency campaigners, came into effect last year. Attracting rare bipartisan support, the system relies on members’ honesty and is designed to help with the costs of running homes in both Washington and members’ districts.

A total of 319 of the 435 voting members claimed $5.2 million in expenses under the rules last year, meaning that, on average, each claimed just over $16,300.

The biggest beneficiary of the system was Jack Bergman, 77, a Republican from Michigan, who claimed more than $32,000 for accommodation and another $12,000 for meals, which are also permitted under the programme.

A member of the congressional anti-abortion caucus, Bergman — who was also a candidate to become House speaker in October last year before losing to Mike Johnson — voted to block taxpayer funds that were being used by the US military to pay for abortions for women stationed at bases in states that have outlawed terminations. His office did not respond to a request for comment.

Matt Gaetz, a self-styled firebrand Republican from Florida, has also railed against the wasteful spending of taxpayers’ money. In March he “emphatically” voted against a federal spending bill that, he said, “continues to advance an unconstitutional process” and “unconstitutional agencies”, and would instead fund “all kinds of LGBTQAIXYZ stuff”.

Gaetz, 42, claimed almost $30,000 in accommodation expenses and more than $10,000 for meals in 2023.

A spokesman for Gaetz told the Washington Post that the congressman was reimbursed for accommodation expenses on days when the House was out of session but when he had stayed in Washington on official business for depositions related to his post on the select committee on the “weaponisation” of the federal government.

“Representative Gaetz has always complied with House rules regarding congressional reimbursements,” the newspaper was told.

A number of members did not claim any reimbursements under the new scheme. In all, 153 Democrats and 166 Republicans submitted expenses claims under the new scheme.

“This system is ripe for abuse,” said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for Good Citizen, which advocates for better government. “Many members of congress are not wealthy so a reimbursement system is important, but there should be full transparency and disclosure, and receipts must be produced. The loopholes are ridiculous.”

“Matt Gaetz says he was working on committee business during days the House was not in session, but no other committee members appear to have made similar claims.”

Some of the other claims raised eyebrows after it became apparent that members had claimed for accommodation expenses in Washington despite owning homes in the city. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, owns a townhouse in the capital, but submitted $3,000 for lodgings in Washington.

There are rules dictating what can be claimed, but actual evidence of spending is not required. Instead, the members of the House are “strongly encouraged,” but not required, to keep records of their spending related to their congressional work.

Hey hey, if you like my work and also want to help out with our moving fund, don't forget I have a Ko-fi!

We'd appreciate anything rn, but do not worry if you can't help financially (times are tough for all of us rn, I know), you can help by reblogging this post if you want to!

I post updates about our situation on my main, but the tldr of it is we've received another section 21 eviction notice and thus have 2 to 3 months to find a place. The landlord is serious this time.

I've got £100 in savings rn, and while I'm aiming to put another 100 in next month, it just won't be enough (need at least 400 to 500 for a council house) by the time we have to leave.

BUT once we get in touch with a housing officer again, I'm gonna ask if they also pay deposit and first months rent on council houses too, as I'm unsure whether it's just private rented houses that they allow for that scheme.

Anyway, I'll be working on more art, and hopefully have something to show soon in terms of writing.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, hope everyone has a lovely day!!!

Aya & Tristan A short study in plotting and scheming with someone for centuries. I realized that I don't mention Tristan's right hand all that frequently, so this is a post offering some appreciation for that connection. Because I do think that they are quite interesting to think about in some respects. In a universe where most of the significant relationships between immortals that we delve into are primary rooted in familiar bonds, profound romance or hate and animosity, these two are part of just a handful of cases where there are different foundations involved. As cold as the two of them can be, the relationship is always alluded to with certain gravitas by the two of them and by others. equally This is Elijah talking about Aya in the episode where she is introduced: ELIJAH: Aya. Let me guess-- Five-foot-seven, built like a goddess, vicious as a viper? Now this is Elijah talking about Aya in relation to Tristan during the same episode: ELIJAH: You waltz into my city unannounced with your flock of sycophants flaunting news of a threat. All the while, your little lapdog Aya is conspiring with none other than Marcel Gerard. A snide description and intended as such, obviously. But it is curious to see Elijah of all people reducing his former romantic partner, and one he does show to have some complicated feelings towards during the season, to Tristan's lapdog as his way of showing his contempt. It legitimizes the significance of that connection as something noticeably more than superficial. Aya is consistently shown as a paladin and pretty much the greatest defender for Tristan's vision for the Strix: AYA: The oldest society of vampires this world has ever known. We are called The Strix. ELIJAH: Quite the prestigious organization! Responsible for countless wars, numerous plagues, assassinations... AYA: You have to break rules if you want to build a new world. -- AYA: One of our more famous faces. We count amongst our society celebrated actors, artists, politicians... Of course, most of us prefer to live a life outside of the public eye. That doesn't make our talents any less impressive. -- AYA: We're the top of the food chain-- the smartest, the strongest. And, we take what we want. Added to this, she also presents herself as a steadfast advocate for Tristan himself. Both before and after the ocean: AYA: Tristan has been a collector of extraordinary talent for the better part of a millennium. He chooses the best of the best and helps them evolve.

.. AYA: Tristan de Martel guided this organization for centuries. He was a radical thinker, decisive leader, and, to each of us here tonight, both mentor and friend. He was, in a word, irreplaceable. -- AYA: But I did not die! Thanks to the efforts of a true nobleman. Tristan saved us! He earned our loyalty. Tristan, in turn, deposits an intrinsic level of trust in her, not something by any means easily earned from him, even when dangerous circumstances retain him from heading the group:

ELIJAH: The alternative is significantly less pleasant. TRISTAN: I think I will hold off on any confessions. At least until my Strix arrive to free me and burn your home to the ground... Holding no shadow of doubt that someone will provide a valiant rescue from the Original family doesn't involve a small degree of trust. And speaking of that episode it does have one of the most important if subtle moments between them. Tristan spent the episode from torture to torture. Aya spent it trying to make the goal of forcefully saving him from the Mikaelsons not a suicide mission. When she succeeds, he simply looks at her in mild frustration. And goes: TRISTAN: It took you long enough. Aya smiles at him. And that is the moment you receive the strangest "another hard Monday at the office uh?" vibe emanating from them. In that moment you fully believe that yes. These two, cold as they may be, have been having adventures together for centuries by this point. And that is their general impression when they are together. In the little looks they hunt for in the other. In the way they play out of the other as if they were the two on the know whenever they reach the stage.

They are a pretty fun duo.

From conservative options like fixed deposits and PPF to market-linked instruments like ULIPs and ELSS, each investment avenue offers unique benefits and caters to different financial goals and risk profiles.

Comparative Analysis: Estimating Returns from Post Office RD vs. EPF Investments

When it comes to secure investment options in India, both Post Office Recurring Deposits (RD) and the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) stand out as popular choices. Each investment avenue offers distinct advantages and suitability depending on the investor's profile and goals. By employing tools like the post office RD calculator, investors can easily forecast the returns on their monthly contributions to a Post Office RD, which is known for its stability and government backing.

On the other hand, the EPF, primarily designed for the salaried workforce, offers a retirement savings plan that not only helps in building a substantial retirement corpus but also provides tax benefits. To estimate the growth of their EPF contributions, investors can use an EPF calculator. This calculator takes into account variables such as the current EPF balance, employer’s contribution, employee’s contribution, and the current interest rate, which is revised annually by the government.

The key difference between these two investment options lies in their nature and the returns they offer. Post Office RDs allow for a fixed monthly deposit into an account, which earns interest at a rate determined by the prevailing government guidelines. The simplicity of the RD scheme makes it an attractive option for individuals with consistent but limited investing capacity. On the other hand, the EPF is not only a savings tool but also a vital component of India’s social security system, offering interest rates generally higher than those of RDs, which makes it highly beneficial for long-term growth.

Moreover, while the returns on RDs are taxed according to the individual's income tax slab, the interest earned and the maturity amount of the EPF are tax-free under certain conditions, making EPF a more tax-efficient investment in the long run. This distinction is crucial for investors when planning their tax liabilities.

For potential investors, understanding these nuances is vital. Using a post office Recurring Deposits calculator helps in setting realistic expectations on the returns from RDs, providing a clear picture of what the maturity amount will be at the end of the investment period. Similarly, the Employee Provident Fund calculator aids in comprehending how one's money grows over time with the added interest, especially with the compound interest feature that EPF offers.

When comparing both, it’s important to consider factors like investment tenure, risk appetite, liquidity needs, and tax implications. Post Office RDs are typically preferred by those who seek less risky avenues and may need to withdraw their investment relatively sooner. In contrast, EPF is ideal for individuals with a longer investment horizon, primarily due to its focus on retirement savings.

While both Post Office RD and EPF are solid investments, they serve different purposes and offer different benefits. The post office Recurring Deposits calculator and Employee Provident Fund calculator help investors make informed investment decisions that match their financial goals and retirement plans. By carefully analysing and comparing these options, investors can optimise their portfolios for long-term financial goals.

Understanding How Time Frames Affect Passive Income: Three Examples

Passive income is often touted as the ideal way to earn money with minimal effort. However, the time frame over which one invests can significantly impact the potential returns. Here are three examples of how different time frames can affect passive income streams:

High-Interest Savings Accounts: In the short term, high-interest savings accounts can provide a reliable source of passive income. With interest rates having risen sharply since December 2021, savers can now enjoy more substantial returns on their deposits. For instance, moving your money to a high-interest account like the Post Office, which offers a 5.06% rate, can yield a decent income stream without much effort. However, it's crucial to monitor these rates regularly, as they can fluctuate.

Effective interest rates on individual deposits: source—Bank of England

Renting Out Property: Medium-term passive income can be generated by renting out property. Whether it's a spare room through the government's Rent a Room Scheme or a parking space via platforms like JustPark, this method can provide a steady income stream. The key here is the balance between the initial investment and the ongoing passive returns. Over time, as the mortgage is paid down, the income can become more passive and potentially increase if property values rise.

Creating Online Courses: From a long-term perspective, creating and selling online courses can be a lucrative source of passive income. Once the initial work of recording and uploading the course is done, the creator can earn money each time someone enrols. Platforms like Skillshare or Udemy host such courses and handle the distribution, making it a potentially evergreen source of income as long as the content remains relevant and in demand.

In conclusion, the impact of time frames on passive income can vary greatly depending on the type of investment and the effort involved. Short-term methods may require more frequent attention to rates and terms, while long-term strategies could yield higher returns with less ongoing effort. It's essential to consider your financial goals and the level of engagement you're willing to commit to when choosing the right passive income strategy for you.

The manner in which these scammers operate isn't entirely new, but their method of collecting money has taken a digital turn, using the allure of cryptocurrency as their tool. Traditionally, scams have taken many forms, but this particular scam involves a caller impersonating a Denver Police Department officer. The victim is falsely informed of a missed court appearance resulting in an outstanding warrant. To make matters more convincing, the scammer directs the victim to deposit what they claim is "bail" money through a cryptocurrency option available at a kiosk in a local laundromat. Unsuspecting individuals are coerced into transferring an initial sum of money under the pretense of avoiding jail time. However, the demands don't stop there; more requests for money follow. In one devastating instance, a victim ended up transferring a total of $14,000 before realizing it was all a scam. The Denver Police Department has emphasized that they would never initiate contact with individuals to inform them about an outstanding warrant or demand money over the phone. They are strongly advising the public to be vigilant and disconnect any such calls immediately. Victims or individuals who encounter such incidents are encouraged to report these scams to the local law enforcement at 720-913-2000 and press 2 or take a step further by filing a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office online. This alarming trend underscores the evolving landscape of scams and the importance of staying informed about the tactics used by scammers. The use of cryptocurrency in scams adds a layer of complexity and anonymity, making it crucial for individuals to exercise caution and skepticism when approached with such demands. The Denver Police Department's warning serves as a timely reminder to remain alert and protect oneself from becoming a victim of such deceitful schemes.
