Don't Miss CPC Training Deadline, Driver Hire Training Warns HGV Drivers Richard Owen-Hughes, Driver Hire Training director warned this week that missing the deadline can not only cost HGV drivers dear but also have serious consequences for their employers. He said: “By law, lorry bus and coach drivers must complete 35 hours of training every five years. If this deadline is missed, and you are found to be driving professionally with an expired Driver Qualification Card (DQC), you and the business you work for can both be fined £1000. “You can also be prosecuted and be banned from driving, and your job will be at risk. There is no grace period; after the deadline, you cannot drive professionally until after the training is completed, and you may be asked to complete additional training alongside the 35 hours. “Make sure your training is complete well before the September deadline this year to avoid these consequences.” Owen-Hughes also advises against leaving all of the ...

Black Tax' - Why Some Young Africans Want To Stop Sending Money Back Home "Sending money back home or to your extended family is such a common African practice that I absolutely hate," said Kenyan influencer Elsa Majimbo earlier this month in a now-deleted TikTok rant that sparked a furious debate on social media. The 23-year-old, who shot to fame during the covid pandemic with her comedic videos, touched a nerve when it came to discussing with her 1.8 million followers what is known as “black tax”. This is when black Africans who achieve a modicum of success, whether at home or abroad, find themselves having to support less well-off family members. Giving back is seen as an intrinsic part of the African philosophy of ubuntu, which stresses the importance of the family and community, rather than the individual. The question for many is whether this is an unnecessary and unwelcome burden or part of a community obligation to help pull others up. But Ms Majimbo, now ba...

limits, changing from the last-in first-out method of valuing inventory to the first-in first-out method, cutting nonmandatory expenses for short periods, or attributing regular business expenses to a one-off, nonrecurring event. The Bottom Line Investors should always do their homework before investing in a stock. That means analyzing the company’s financial report to get a true picture of how it is doing. Don’t just fixate on the headline numbers the company wants you to read or trust that analysts or somebody else will do the job on your behalf. Go through everything yourself and do it with a skeptical eye.

“How Do I Ask Him For My Money Back?” — Bride Loses S$15K Paid For Wedding Banquet After Her Ex-fiancé Cancels Their Wedding And Relationship SINGAPORE: What was supposed to be the happiest day of her life turned into an absolute disaster. Not only did the bride lose S$15,000 when the wedding was cancelled, but she also later discovered that her so-called perfect groom had been having an affair with her colleague. The bride’s friend shared the story on r/askSingapore, an online Reddit forum, on Sunday (Sept 1). According to the post, her now ex-fiancé called everything off three weeks before their wedding because of a heated argument. “He was adamant, not apologetic, didn’t give my friend to speak or to try and mend things, just wants to break up,” her friend wrote. The unfortunate part of the situation was that her friend had already paid S$15,000 for the banquet, which now appeared to be a waste of money. After publicly announcing their split in front of both families, her ex-fia...

Have Less Than $1,000 In Savings? Here's What To Do Next A recent survey from Forbes found that 1 in 4 Americans across all age ranges have less than $1,000 in savings. Sound familiar? If you're in the same boat, you're not alone. Between rising home prices, inflation, and stagnant wages, getting ahead can feel impossible. Not everyone can afford to save hundreds of dollars every month or max out their IRA. But there are steps you can take if your savings account is feeling light. Set aside at least $500 for unexpected expenses What happens if your tire pops, your electricity bill is higher than you expect, or you have to visit the emergency room? Those little unplanned bills can become a rolling pile of debt if you don't have at least a small emergency fund. While having a three-month cushion is a great idea, it's not feasible for many of us. Start by opening a high-yield savings account and saving until you have at least $500. That will cover many small em...

will vary based on your income, expenses and other factors. For instance, $10,000 may be enough for a single person with minimal expenses and no debt. A married couple with children, a mortgage and multiple car payments may want to save more than $10,000. How Much To Keep in Savings vs. Checking Accounts It’s important to strike the right balance between your checking and savings accounts. Typically, you should only have about one to two months’ worth of expenses in your checking account. “A checking account should include enough to cover your next month’s expenses, and the remainder of your emergency fund should be in savings,” said Justin Haywood, president and co-founder of Haywood Wealth Management. “Checking accounts typically have very low interest rates, so you don’t want your entire emergency fund there.” In addition to having a savings account dedicated to emergency savings, you may want to consider opening different savings accounts for different financial goals. Besides ...

everyone by changing sport from a space for only specific kinds of bodies (white, male, cis, hetero, able, young and elite) to sport for all bodies. If sport is for everyone, sport must be (re)imagined in ways that make it more accessible. Sport for all abilities: A pathway to inclusion Too often, the easy answer is that sport cannot be both competitive and inclusive. Sport with improved classification for cognitively and intellectually disabled athletes can happen along with the Paralympics. Sport can also be done in other ways that bring competition and inclusivity together. Mixed ability sport is one way that sport is re-imagined. Mixed ability sport organizations, such as International Mixed Ability Sports, show how sport can be changed by changing our minds about how sport is done. Ringette Canada and Rugby Ontario are two examples of how sports organizations in Canada are changing by offering mixed ability sport opportunities that include athletes of all abilities. We all, wh...

What Is Goalball, The Sport In Which Paralympians Can Throw A Ball At Over 35mph At Each Other? CNN — Goalball is unique to Paralympic sports – a fast, skillful game without an Olympic counterpart in which visually impaired players seek to score by throwing balls into a goal defended by the other team. Remarkably, considering that the ball weighs 1.25kg (roughly 2.75 pounds) and is about the same size as a basketball, the best players in the world can throw it as fast as 60 kph (about 37.3 mph). So how do they do this, how is the sport played and who are the favorites at the Paris Paralympic Games? First invented in 1946 as a way to help rehabilitate veterans who had lost their sight during World War II, goalball has become a regular feature at the Paralympic Games ever since its 1976 debut in the men’s event. It was introduced to the women’s program at the 1984 New York Paralympic Games. The object of the game is to score more goals than the opponent in the time allotted. Each...

reserved only for them: 75 Representatives and 29 Senators. The state Supreme Court disagrees. I also disagree. The quip I hear is, “If you don’t like it, vote for someone different.” How exactly can Utahns do that when the Legislature is working to ensure that those in power draw maps that keep them in power? We have a choice in November. Reject their amendment. Tell the Legislature loudly and clearly that Utahns understand the core tenets of the democratic process and that we retain our right to reform our government through ballot initiatives. In Utah, the Legislature has too much power. Even a middle schooler can see that.
