  • Meta to pay more for Mark Zuckerberg’s personal security amid job losses

    Meta to pay more for Mark Zuckerberg’s personal security amid job losses

    [ad_1]

    Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has said in a filing that it is increasing its spend on the personal security of chief executive and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg by $4m (£3.3m) to $14m, at a moment when the company has cut thousands of jobs in what Zuckerberg has called the “year of efficiency”.

    Meta’s board declared that the 40% increase was “appropriate and necessary under the circumstances” and was in place “to address safety concerns due to specific threats to his safety arising directly as a result of his position as Meta’s founder, chairman, and CEO”.

    Zuckerberg is allowed to use the money to pay for “additional personnel, equipment, services, residential improvement” and other safety-related needs.

    His personal security costs were last reviewed in 2018 when he received $10m from the company, according to the filing.

    The tech mogul’s salary is just $1 a year – but his earnings are far more. Zuckerberg ranks as the 16th richest person in the world on the Forbes billionaire list due to his shareholdings in Meta. In 2021 he received compensation from the company worth $27m.

    The rise in security spending for its CEO comes at a difficult time for Meta. It delayed the finalising of budgets to prepare a fresh round of job cuts, according to the Financial Times. The company dismissed 11,000 employees, the equivalent of 13% of its workforce, in November.

    On a call to analysts earlier this month, Zuckerberg said: “Next, we’re working on flattening our org structure and removing some layers in middle management to make decisions faster.”

    He also mentioned that the company would be “more proactive about cutting projects that aren’t performing” – but ruled out any reduction in funding to the company’s virtual reality space the Metaverse, despite the division in charge of the project reducing the company’s overall operating profit by $13.72bn in 2022.

    When announcing the job losses in November last year, Zuckerberg said falling ad revenue, increased competition and a wider economic downturn meant the company had to downsize.

    In an email to staff, Zuckerberg said: “I want to take accountability for these decisions and for how we got here. I know this is tough for everyone, and I’m especially sorry to those impacted.”

    Meta, once valued at $1 trillion, lost 70% of its value in 2022. In July, the company reported its first ever fall in revenue.

  • National Archives offers personal tours to anti-abortion activists who sued

    National Archives offers personal tours to anti-abortion activists who sued

    [ad_1]

    ap23027703347992

    The Archives issued a statement last week apologizing for the incident.

    “Early indications are that our security officers quickly corrected their actions,” the statement said, acknowledging the irony of the activists being told to cover up their protest garb while touring documents proclaiming free speech and freedom of religion.

    Another group of young attendees at the annual March for Life filed a similar lawsuit last week against the Smithsonian Institution, alleging that during a visit to the National Air and Space Museum on the same day, they were harassed and told to take off matching ski hats reading “Rosary PRO-LIFE.”

    The interim deal filed with the court on Tuesday in the Archives case will not resolve that lawsuit, but offers the plaintiffs a preliminary injunction similar to the one they planned to seek from the court, court papers say. The agreement needs approval from the judge assigned to the case, Timothy Kelly, an appointee of former President Donald Trump. According to a footnote, the deal is not intended to affect the Archives’ ability to regulate “clothing containing profanity.”

    No similar agreement has been filed in the suit stemming from the events at the National Air and Space Museum, but the Smithsonian has apologized for its guards’ actions and promised retraining.

    Rahul Gandhi to arrive in Gulmarg tomorrow on personal visit

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar, Feb 14: All India Congress Committee (AICC) leader and party’s former president, Rahul Gandhi would likely arrive in Gulmarg tomorrow (Wednesday) on a personal visit.

    His arrival will come just two weeks after he concluded his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar on January 30 in which the leaders from different political parties participated at SK Stadium here.

    Rahul walked over 4000 kilometres to conclude his Bharat Jodo Yatra last month in Srinagar with his concluding speech, wherein he mentioned that Kashmir is another home for him.

    Sources privy to the development told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that Gandhi will arrive at Gulmarg tomorrow where he is going to spend some days.

    A senior leader from Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) said that Rahul Gandhi usually visits foreign countries on the eve of New Year but due to his busy schedule this year in view of Bharat Jodo Yatra, he couldn’t visit anywhere.

    He said that although there is no official confirmation but it is being said that the AICC leader has now decided to visit Gulmarg for some days tomorrow—(KNO)

  • Geologist’s Red Sea earthquake prediction dismissed as ‘personal opinions’

    Geologist’s Red Sea earthquake prediction dismissed as ‘personal opinions’

    [ad_1]

    Authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have dismissed predictions about a potential quake in the Red Sea by a prominent Saudi geologist as ‘mere personal opinions’.

    The warning comes after tens of thousands of people were killed in Turkey and neighboring Syria by the quake, which caused widespread destruction and sparked a large-scale international relief effort.

    In an interview with Al Hadath TV on Friday, Abdul Aziz bin Laboun, a prominent geologist in the Kingdom, said, “This major tremor is expected and could happen at any minute. Seismic surveys show at least 1,000 tremors occur along the Red Sea. Consequently, we have to coexist with this situation, but precaution should be taken.”

    “We should thoroughly read the geological history of the region. These are not incidental events. They are characteristic of the region,” Bin Laboun said without elaborating.

    At the same time, the Saudi geological survey confirmed that the number of tremors that are monitored in the Red Sea does not exceed dozens per week, and they are not felt and do not constitute a danger.

    The official spokesman for the Saudi geological survey, Tariq Aba Al-Khail, said in a statement reported by the Emirate of Makkah Al-Mukarramah on Saturday, “The Geological Hazards Center in the Saudi Geological Survey continuously monitors, around the clock, seismic activity in the central Red Sea region along the groove rift.”

    “The seismic magnitude ranges from weak to moderate, as it is considered a tectonic tension zone as a result of the divergence of the African tectonic plate from the Arab tectonic plate, which is characterized by mostly weak to moderate seismic activity,” he added.

    He indicated that “the timing and locations of earthquakes cannot be predicted,” and “everything that has been raised recently is just personal judgments that are not based on studies, follow-up, and monitoring, but rather mere predictions.”

    He also explained that the Saudi Geological Survey is the concerned authority entrusted with seismic monitoring in the Kingdom, stressing the need to take the correct information from the official authorities with regard to seismic monitoring.

    UP: UCC, Gyanvapi on agenda in Muslim personal law board meet; Owaisi to attend

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLA) has called for an Executive Committee meeting tomorrow in Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow.

    The meeting is believed to be convened to discuss topics like Gyanvapi, Uniform Civil Code, and Religious Conversion, among others. “Future strategy will also be engineered in the said meeting,” AIMPLA Executive Member Qasim Rasool Ilyas told ANI.

    The AIMPLA has 51 Executive members including All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

    Board General Secretary Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, Asaduddin Owaisi, Arshad Madani etc., will attend the meeting.

    Earlier, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju in Rajya Sabha told BJP MP Nishikant Dubey that a proposal to examine issues relating to Uniform Civil Code and make recommendations may be taken up by the 22nd Law Commission.

    The minister told Dubey, who had raised the issue as a matter of urgent public importance on December 1 last year in Lok Sabha, that the proposal was referred to the 21st Law Commission but since its term has ended, the matter may be taken by the 22nd Law Commission.

    Article 44 of the Constitution provides that the State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code (UCC) throughout the territory of India.

    “In view of the importance of the subject matter and sensitivity involved and it requiring an in-depth study of provisions of various personal laws governing different communities, a proposal to examine issues relating to uniform civil code and make recommendations has been forwarded to the 21st Law Commission of India,” Rijiju said in his letter.

    Nishikant Dubey had urged the party-led central government to expedite the process to bring in a law to implement the Uniform Civil Code.

    If implemented, UCC is likely to provide one law for the entire country, applicable to all religious communities in their personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption.

  • Imp of personal savings ‘jettisoned’ in ‘hullabalo’ over old, new tax regimes: Chidambaram

    Imp of personal savings ‘jettisoned’ in ‘hullabalo’ over old, new tax regimes: Chidambaram

    [ad_1]

    Delhi: Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday said that in the “hullabaloo” over the old and the new tax regimes, the importance of personal savings in a developing country has been “jettisoned”.

    The former Union finance minister asserted that in the absence of a state-provided safety net for the vast majority of people, personal savings is the only social security.

    The mystery of the New Tax Regime is unravelling, he said and pointed to the analysis and the tables in major newspapers on Thursday.

    “If you are a taxpayer, don’t rush to conclusions. Do your math, consult a chartered accountant,” Chidambaram said in a series of tweets.

    “My regret is, in this hullabaloo about OTR (old tax regime) and NTR (old tax regime), the importance of personal savings in a developing country has been jettisoned,” he said.

    Chidambaram on Wednesday claimed that the Union Budget has “betrayed” the hopes of a vast majority of Indians and shows how far removed the government is from the people and their concerns about life, livelihood and the growing inequality between the rich and the poor.

    At a press conference at the Congress headquarters here, he had termed the budget “callous” and claimed that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has not mentioned unemployment, poverty, inequality or equity anywhere in her Budget speech.

  • Learn How to Apply for Instant Personal Loan Online

    [ad_1]

    Personal Loans are used for many things, including a medical bill, debt consolidation, purchase of a new appliance, vacation, education and more. After borrowing a personal loan, you need to repay the money in EMIs, including the applied interest. Most Personal Loan schemes are unsecured, meaning they do not require any collateral, guarantor, or security for backup.

    As far as applying for a Personal Loan online is concerned, aspiring borrowers have two options: the financial institution’s website or mobile app.

    You can generally apply for a loan by providing basic personal and income details. The lenders will consider – age, income, employment, credit score, and outstanding debts to assess your eligibility and interest rate. This article will teach you a few crucial steps to get Personal Loan quick approval.

    Calculate Personal Loan Eligibility

    Qualifying for a Personal Loan involves several steps – and the first one is to ensure that it’s the right loan plan for you. For instance, if you want to borrow money to renovate your house, the loan should be enough to cover the renovation cost.

    Although moneylenders determine the loan amount based on – income, credit history, and repayment capacity, be sure to compare loan schemes and get the best offer.

    You can calculate Personal Loan eligibility using an eligibility calculator and apply for an appropriate loan plan.

    Things to Consider Before Personal Loan Application

    Before shopping around for the best Personal Loan offers, here are a few essential things to consider:

    • Eligibility: Various loan companies like Fullerton India have different eligibility conditions that you need to fulfill to qualify. These include – age, income, employment and credit rating. Check the particular NBFC’s eligibility criteria and ensure fulfilling them before applying to get Personal Loan quick approval.
    • Documentation Requirements: Eligible applicants must provide a few necessary documents to support their details. These include – address, income, and identity proof. Check the required documents’ availability before applying to accelerate the loan process.
    • Interest Rate: The interest rate is a crucial parameter that significantly affects your EMI and total loan cost. The higher the interest rate, the costlier the loan will be. Aspiring borrowers with a good income and decent credit score have higher chances of getting the lowest interest rate on Personal Loans.
    • Repayment Capacity: Decide on a loan amount you can easily repay within the loan tenure. An individual’s repayment capacity depends on income and financial obligations. Use Fullerton India’s eligibility calculator to calculate Personal Loan eligibility and apply for an adequate loan amount.
    • Loan EMIs: Use a Personal Loan EMI calculator to calculate the monthly EMI amount for the loan. Ideally, the loan EMI should not consume more than 65% of the applicant’s monthly income. You can easily adjust it into your monthly budget without straining your finances.

    Fulfill the Documentation Requirements

    Each NBFC has different documentation requirements for Personal Loan applications. These often include the following:

    • Identity proof, like an Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, and driving license
    • Address proof, like an Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, driving license, rent agreement, ration card, and utility bill
    • Income proof, like bank statements, salary slips, ITR, Form 16, etc.

    Decide on the Loan Amount

    Remember that when an individual borrows money, they don’t just repay the principal amount. They also pay interest on the money they borrowed. Paying interest on loan amount that you do not use makes no sense.

    However, if you get a lower loan amount than required, eventually, you would seek other expensive funding sources at the last minute. Therefore, the loan amount should be sufficient to cover the intended expense but not more than your repayment capacity.

    Check the Credit Score

    Personal Loan lenders rely heavily on the applicant’s creditworthiness. It is advised to check credit scores and obtain the latest credit reports before applying. As checking your credit score is a soft inquiry, it does not impact your credit score. If your score is between 750 and 900, the chances of getting quick approval at better interest rates are high.

    Complete the Application Process

    Visit the selected NBFCs website and fill out their online application form with personal and financial details. Scan and upload the necessary documents to complete the application process. Double-check the details before hitting the submit button and wait for the verification process to complete.

    Once the loan company verifies all details and documents, they send a loan offer with the proposed loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. When you accept the loan offer, they disburse it directly into your bank account shortly after approval.

    Those with excellent credit scores find Personal Loans a reasonably inexpensive way to cover their costs. A Personal Loan’s quick approval depends on the applicant’s creditworthiness, loan purpose, and repayment capacity. After approval and disbursal, borrowers must repay it in EMIs over a set term of up to 60 months.
