Things to know about immigration to Ireland

The choice to relocate abroad is usually stressful, but with careful management and planning, you can minimize any potential difficulties.

If you intend to work when you relocate, this will probably affect where you settle. Although many businesses now use remote workers, the bulk of Irish people still reside and work in Dublin.

Ireland has a far higher cost of living than the UK. Rent is included in the 18.4% increase in consumer costs between Ireland and the UK.

Researching employment, housing, healthcare, taxes, and quality of life before deciding to relocate can help you make the best choice for you and your family.

In comparison to moving to other countries, moving to Ireland is a comparatively simple procedure for UK citizens. The agreement between Ireland and the UK known as the Common Travel Area (CTA) is the cause of this.

Both Irish and British citizens gain from this deal. It makes it easier for people with Irish and British passports to travel freely within the islands of Ireland and Britain.

Each nation's people are free to obtain social welfare benefits and health services, as well as to work, study, and participate in some elections. This also implies that neither a work visa nor a travel visa are required.

The freedoms of the CTA do not apply if you have family members who are not British or Irish citizens, it is very important to know.

Dependents who are neither Irish or British must follow the appropriate immigration laws based on their situation in order to reside and work in Ireland.

You can profit from having dual Irish and British citizenship if you are qualified to apply for an Irish passport.

A checklist for migrating from the UK to Ireland

No matter where someone lives or is moving, emigrating is a significant life decision. The following checklist will assist you in getting ready for the major move even if you consult an Ireland immigration lawyer in London:

Gather all of your important papers, such as your passport, tickets, birth and marriage certificates, marriage licences, driving licences, proofs of identification and address, bank account balances, etc.

Use a calendar to mark important dates (such as hiring a moving company, giving notice to the landlord of your present residence, selling your home, giving notice at your place of employment, etc.).

Make contact with any pertinent businesses to cancel your account or update them on your new address.

If you have any pets, make sure they have the appropriate vaccinations and a pet passport.

Determine if you may import your automobile duty-free into Ireland or whether you must pay a customs fee.

You should be prepared to carry out the following when you arrive in Ireland:

Open a bank account in Ireland

Utilise a trustworthy currency exchange provider to convert your British pounds.

To the extent applicable, choose a private health insurance plan for you and your family.

To avoid having your UK licence invalidated in Ireland, apply for an Irish driving licence.

Work and live in Ireland

The legal systems of the two nations are obviously dissimilar, thus British citizens migrating to Ireland should be informed of their legal rights and responsibilities. Some of the most significant phases in the migrating to Ireland process are outlined in this section.

As a citizen of the United Kingdom, you are qualified to work in any lawful capacity, including starting your own business, without obtaining an employment permit.

Consult a reputed Ireland immigration lawyer in London if you're looking for work in Ireland. Additionally, you can edit your LinkedIn profile to reflect your current availability.

Britain remains on alert for further unrest, even after anti-racism campaigners face down far right

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/09/britain-remains-on-alert-for-further-unrest-even-after-anti-racism-campaigners-face-down-far-right/

Britain remains on alert for further unrest, even after anti-racism campaigners face down far right

British authorities said Thursday they were preparing for the possibility of further unrest, even as they applauded the efforts of anti-racism campaigners and police who largely stifled a threatened wave of far-right demonstrations overnight.Prime Minister Keir Starmer sounded the note of caution after a week of anti-immigrant violence that has scarred communities from Northern Ireland to the south coast of England. Starmer spoke to reporters at a mosque in Solihull, near Birmingham, where demonstrators shut down a shopping center on Sunday.VIOLENT UK PROTESTS CONTINUE FOR 7TH DAY IN RESPONSE TO DEATHS OF 3 YOUNG GIRLS”It’s important that we don’t let up here,” Starmer said. “And that’s why later on today I’ll have another (emergency) meeting with law enforcement, with senior police officers to make sure that we reflect on last night but also plan for the coming days.”Police across the U.K. had braced for widespread disorder on Wednesday night after far-right activists circulated a list of more than 100 sites they planned to target, including the offices of immigration lawyers and others offering services to migrants.But those demonstrations failed to materialize as police and counter-protesters filled the streets.Carrying signs saying “Refugees Welcome” and chanting “Whose streets? Our streets,” people turned out in force to protect asylum service centers and the offices of immigration attorneys.The government also declared a national critical incident, putting 6,000 specially trained police on standby to respond to any disorder. Police said that protests and counter-protests were largely peaceful, though a small number of arrests were made.”The show of force from the police and, frankly, the show of unity from communities together defeated the challenges that we faced,” said Commissioner Mark Rowley, the head of London’s Metropolitan Police Service. “It went off very peacefully last night, and the fears of extreme right disorder were abated.”But tensions remain high after right-wing agitators fueled the violence by circulating misinformation about the identity of the suspect in a knife attack that killed three young girls in the English seaside town of Southport on July 29. The last child hospitalized in the stabbing has been released, police said Thursday.Nearly 500 people have been arrested around the country after anti-immigrant mobs clashed with police, attacked mosques and overran two hotels housing asylum-seekers.Among those arrested was a man in his 50s on suspicion of “encouraging murder.” The arrest came after a local Labour councilor allegedly called for far-right protesters’ throats to be “cut.”The Labour Party suspended Ricky Jones, who is alleged to have made the remark at a London demonstration Wednesday.The government has pledged to track down and prosecute those responsible for the disorder, including people who incite violence online.In an effort to dissuade people from taking part in future unrest by showing that rioters will face swift justice, TV cameras were allowed into Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday as Judge Andrew Menary sentenced two men to 32 months in jail.During the hearing, prosecutors played video of rioters pelting police with bricks and setting garbage cans on fire. One of the suspects was in the middle of a group that ripped the bumper off a police vehicle and threw it at officers as onlookers cheered.”It seems to me there were hundreds of people observing, as if this was some sort of Tuesday night entertainment,” Menary said. “All of them should be frankly ashamed of themselves.”Northern Ireland’s regional legislative assembly held a special sitting Thursday to respond to the unrest. Minister for Justice Naomi Long said the violence and racist attacks in recent days were “not reflective” of the people of Northern Ireland.”We need to call it for what it is. It is racism, it is Islamophobia, it is xenophobia,″ she said. “If we’re going to deal with it, we need to name it for what it is, and we need to challenge it.″The government is also considering imposing sanctions other than jail time, including banning rioters from soccer matches. Home Office minister Diana Johnson told LBC Radio that there should be consequences for those implicated in disorder.”I think all options are being looked at, to be honest, and I am pretty clear that most football clubs do not want to be seen to have football hooligans and people carrying out criminal acts on the streets of the local communities in their stands on a Saturday,″ she said.

LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said violent protesters who had targeted Muslim communities would swiftly face the "full force of the law" as he sought to quell days of anti-immigration rioting.

The fatal stabbing of three young girls in the northwest English town of Southport last week has been seized on by anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groups, with disinformation spread online and amplified by high-profile far-right figures to spark disorder in towns and cities.

"Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest, it is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities," Starmer said on Monday after an emergency meeting with police and prison chiefs.

"The full force of law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part."

Police chiefs said they had arrested 378 people since the start of the unrest and warned of "lengthy prison terms" for those found guilty of violent disorder.

The violence erupted last Tuesday after social media posts said the suspected attacker in Southport was a radical Islamist who had just arrived in Britain and was known to intelligence services.

Police say the 17-year-old suspect was born in Britain and they are not treating it as a terrorist incident. The suspect's parents had moved to Britain from Rwanda.

Interior minister Yvette Cooper said rioters had felt "emboldened ... to stir up racial hatred" and that the protests were not a proportionate response to concerns about near-record levels of immigration.

"Reasonable people ... do not pick up bricks and throw them at the police," she said.

Protests, mostly involving a few hundred people, have continued across the country, with shops looted and mosques and Asian-owned businesses attacked. Cars have been set on fire and some unverified videos on social media have shown ethnic minorities being beaten up.

Australia and Nigeria were among countries to issue warnings on Monday to citizens resident in or travelling to Britain.

On Monday evening, protests spread to Plymouth in southwest England. Several hundred anti-immigration protesters wearing English and British flags faced off against a greater number of counter-protesters, kept apart by police in riot gear.

Protesters threw bricks and fireworks and scuffled with police. Sky News said three police officers were injured.

In Rotherham, northern England, protesters on Sunday tried to break into a hotel that housed asylum seekers in what Starmer called an act of "far-right thuggery", following protests on Saturday in other English cities and in Belfast.

Starmer said a "standing army" of specialist police officers would tackle outbreaks of violence where needed.

Northern Ireland's assembly will end its summer break a day early to discuss the violence.

POLICE BLAME ONLINE DISINFORMATION

Police have blamed online disinformation, amplified by high-profile figures for driving the violence.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known by the pseudonym Tommy Robinson and previously the leader of the defunct anti-Islam English Defence League, has been blamed by media for spreading misinformation to his 875,000 followers on X.

"They are lying to you all," Yaxley-Lennon said. "Attempting to turn the nation against me. I need you, you are my voice."

Elon Musk, the owner of X, also weighed in. Responding to a post on X that blamed mass migration and open borders for the disorder in Britain, he wrote: "Civil war is inevitable."

Starmer's spokesperson said there was "no justification" for Musk's comment. Musk later criticised Starmer for a post on X which identified mosques as needing particular protection.

In Whitechapel in London, lawyer M. A. Gani, 33, said the British Bangladeshi community was "living in fear".

"We've never seen this kind of far-right groups (being so) active and anti-immigrant," he said.

"I hope that the UK (government) will take initiative to calm down the situation."

Britain's technology minister, Peter Kyle, met representatives of social media platforms including X to remind them of their responsibility to stop the spread of racial hate and incitement to violence.

"There is a significant amount of content circulating that platforms need to be dealing with at pace," he said.

The $50 billion race to save America’s renters from eviction (Washington Post) The Biden administration again extended a federal moratorium on evictions last week, but conflicting court rulings on whether the ban is legal, plus the difficulty of rolling out nearly $50 billion in federal aid, means the country’s reckoning with its eviction crisis may come sooner than expected. The year-old federal moratorium—which has now been extended through June 30—has probably kept hundreds of thousands or millions of people from being evicted from their apartments and homes. More than 10 million Americans are behind on rent, according to Moody’s, easily topping the 7 million who lost their homes to foreclosure in the 2008 housing bust. Despite the unprecedented federal effort to protect tenants, landlords have been chipping away at the moratorium in court. Treasury Department officials have been armed with nearly $50 billion in emergency aid for renters who have fallen behind, and are racing to distribute it through hundreds of state, local and tribal housing agencies, some of which have not created programs yet. The idea is to get the money to renters before courts nationwide begin processing evictions again.

A court filing says parents of 445 separated migrant children still have not been found. (NYT) The parents of 61 migrant children who were separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border by the Trump administration have been located since February, but lawyers still cannot find the parents of 445 children, according to a court filing on Wednesday. In the filing, the Justice Department and the American Civil Liberties Union indicated slow progress in the ongoing effort to reunite families that were affected by a policy to prosecute all undocumented immigrants in the United States, even if it meant separating children from their parents. Of the 445 remaining children, a majority are believed to have parents who were deported, while more than 100 children are believed to have parents currently in the United States, according to the court filing. The government has yet to provide contact information that would help locate the families of more than a dozen children.

N Ireland leaders call for calm after night of rioting (AP) Rioters set a hijacked bus on fire and hurled gasoline bombs at police in Belfast in at least the fourth night of serious violence in a week in Northern Ireland, where Brexit has unsettled an uneasy political balance. Youths threw projectiles and petrol bombs at police on Wednesday night in the Protestant Shankill Road area, while rioters lobbed bricks, fireworks and petrol bombs in both directions over the concrete “peace wall” separating the Shankill Road from a neighboring Irish nationalist area. Police Service of Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Jonathan Roberts said several hundred people gathered on both sides of a gate in the wall, where “crowds ... were committing serious criminal offenses, both attacking police and attacking each other.” He said a total of 55 police officers have been injured over several nights of disorder. The recent violence, largely in pro-British loyalist areas, has flared amid rising tensions over post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland and worsening relations between the parties in the Protestant-Catholic power-sharing Belfast government.

Biden seems ready to extend US troop presence in Afghanistan (AP) Without coming right out and saying it, President Joe Biden seems ready to let lapse a May 1 deadline for completing a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Orderly withdrawals take time, and Biden is running out of it. Biden has inched so close to the deadline that his indecision amounts almost to a decision to put off, at least for a number of months, a pullout of the remaining 2,500 troops and continue supporting the Afghan military at the risk of a Taliban backlash. Removing all of the troops and their equipment in the next three weeks—along with coalition partners who can’t get out on their own—would be difficult logistically, as Biden himself suggested in late March. “It’s going to be hard to meet the May 1 deadline,” he said. “Just in terms of tactical reasons, it’s hard to get those troops out.” Tellingly, he added, “And if we leave, we’re going to do so in a safe and orderly way.”

One in six Latin American youths left work since pandemic’s start (Reuters) Across Latin America and the Caribbean, one in every six people aged 18 to 29 has left work since the coronavirus pandemic began, forcing many to abandon their studies, a report said on Thursday. The precariousness of employment for young people rose across the region, according to an investigation by Canadian charity Cuso International based on data from a U.N. commission and a poll by the International Labour Organization. “It’s extremely difficult for young people to access the labor market due to issues around specialization, lower wages, and poverty,” the advocacy group’s Colombia director Alejandro Matos told Reuters. More than half of those who stopped working since the start of the pandemic were let go by their employers, the report said, while others saw their businesses close and those employed in the informal sector could not work due to lockdowns.

Myanmar ambassador in London locked out of embassy after speaking out against military (Washington Post) Myanmar’s ambassador to Britain, who has spoken out again the military coup in his country, said he was barred from the embassy in London on Wednesday by officials loyal to the military junta. “They are refusing to let me inside,” Kyaw Zwar Minn told the Telegraph. “They said they received instruction from the capital, so they are not going to let me in.” Kyaw Zwar Minn told the British newspaper that when he left the embassy during the day, colleagues and officials linked to the military stormed the premises and kept him from reentering that evening. In early March, the ambassador, a former military colonel, spoke out against the military’s detention of the former British colony’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi, drawing criticism from the junta that had orchestrated her ouster and praise from the British government for his “courage.” The London-based ambassador was recalled, according to Myanmar state television, after he posted a statement on the embassy’s Facebook page demanding “the release of State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President U Win Myint,” but he did not return to Myanmar.

Merkel tells Putin to pull back troops as Kremlin accuses Ukraine of provocations (Reuters) German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday to pull back the Kremlin’s military buildup near the border with Ukraine, while he in turn accused Kyiv of “provocative actions” in the conflict region. Ukraine has raised the alarm over an increase in Russian forces near its eastern border as violence has risen along the line of contact separating its troops from Russia-backed separatists in its Donbass region. Russia has said its forces pose no threat and were defensive, but that they would stay there as long as Moscow saw fit. A senior Kremlin official said on Thursday that Moscow could under certain circumstances be forced to defend its citizens in Donbass and that major hostilities could mark the beginning of the end of Ukraine as a country.

China builds advanced weapons systems using American chip technology (Washington Post) In a secretive military facility in southwest China, a supercomputer whirs away, simulating the heat and drag on hypersonic vehicles speeding through the atmosphere—missiles that could one day be aimed at a U.S. aircraft carrier or Taiwan, according to former U.S. officials and Western analysts. The computer is powered by tiny chips designed by a Chinese firm called Phytium Technology using American software and built in the world’s most advanced chip factory in Taiwan, which hums with American precision machinery, say the analysts. Phytium portrays itself as a commercial company aspiring to become a global chip giant like Intel. It does not publicize its connections to the research arms of the People’s Liberation Army. The hypersonic test facility is located at the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center (CARDC), which also obscures its military connections though it is run by a PLA major general, according to public documents, and the former officials and analysts, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. Phytium’s partnership with CARDC offers a prime example of how China is quietly harnessing civilian technologies for strategic military purposes—with the help of American technology. The trade is not illegal but is a vital link in a global high-tech supply chain that is difficult to regulate because the same computer chips that could be used for a commercial data center can power a military supercomputer.

Indonesia landslides death toll rises to 140, dozens missing (AP) The death toll from mudslides in eastern Indonesia has risen to 140 with dozens still missing, officials said Wednesday, as rain continued to pound the region and hamper the search. East Flores district on Adonara island suffered the highest losses with 67 bodies recovered so far and six missing. Mud tumbled down from surrounding hills early on Sunday, catching people at sleep. Some were swept away by flash floods after overnight rains caused rivers to burst their banks. On nearby Lembata island, the downpour triggered by Tropical Cyclone Seroja sent solidified lava from a volcanic eruption in November to crash down on more than a dozen villages, killing at least 32 and leaving 35 unaccounted for, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency.

Reversing Trump, Biden Restores Aid to Palestinians (NYT) The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it would restore hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid to Palestinians, its strongest move yet to reverse President Donald J. Trump’s policy on the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The package, which gives at least $235 million in assistance to Palestinians, will go to humanitarian, economic, development and security efforts in the region, and is part of the administration’s attempt to rehabilitate U.S. relations with Palestinians, which effectively stopped when Mr. Trump was in office. The restoration of aid amounted to the most direct repudiation so far of Mr. Trump’s tilt toward Israel in its decades-old conflict with the Palestinian population in Israeli-controlled territories.

Royal rift ends (NYT) Jordan’s King Abdullah II said on Wednesday that the “discord” that has roiled the kingdom for days has “been stopped,” signaling a resolution to a rare royal rift that resulted in the house arrest of Prince Hamzah bin Hussein, the former crown prince, and the detention of several Jordanian officials who were accused of plotting a foreign-backed coup against the monarchy.

Conflict and COVID driving record hunger in DR Congo, warns UN (Al Jazeera) A record 27.3 million people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are facing acute hunger, one-third of the violence-wracked Central African country’s population, largely because of conflict and the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United Nations has warned. The DRC is “home to the highest number of people in urgent need of food security assistance in the world,” the World Food Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization said on Tuesday in a joint statement, describing the scale of the crisis as “staggering”. “For the first time ever we were able to analyse the vast majority of the population, and this has helped us to come closer to the true picture of the staggering scale of food insecurity in the DRC,” Peter Musoko, WFP’s representative in the country, said. “This country should be able to feed its population and export a surplus. We cannot have children going to bed hungry and families skipping meals for an entire day,” he said.

Beware The Carpet Cleaner (The Guardian) Parkinson’s disease is the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world, and the US is experiencing an explosion of cases. In the last decade, the number of Parkinson’s cases in America has increased 35%, and a neurologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center thinks over the next 25 years it will double again. Most cases of the disease are considered idiopathic—without a clear cause. But researchers now believe one factor is environmental exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical compound used in industrial degreasing, dry-cleaning, and household products like some shoe polishes and carpet cleaners. TCE is a carcinogen already linked to renal cell carcinoma, cancers of the cervix, liver, biliary passages, lymphatic system and male breast tissue, fetal cardiac defects, and more. Several studies point to a link between Parkinson’s and workplace exposure to TCE. The US Labor Department issued guidance on TCE saying exposures to carbon disulfide (CS2) and TCE are presumed to “cause, contribute or aggravate Parkinsonism.”

‘Tantalizing’ results of 2 experiments defy physics rulebook (AP) Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and thrilled. Tiny particles called muons aren’t quite doing what is expected of them in two different long-running experiments in the United States and Europe. The confounding results—if proven right—reveal major problems with the rulebook physicists use to describe and understand how the universe works at the subatomic level. “We think we might be swimming in a sea of background particles all the time that just haven’t been directly discovered,” Fermilab experiment co-chief scientist Chris Polly said in a press conference. “There might be monsters we haven’t yet imagined that are emerging from the vacuum interacting with our muons and this gives us a window into seeing them.” If confirmed, the U.S. results would be the biggest finding in the bizarre world of subatomic particles in nearly 10 years, since the discovery of the Higgs boson, often called the “God particle,” said Aida El-Khadra of the University of Illinois, who works on theoretical physics for the Fermilab experiment.

Unlikely chauffeur (Foreign Policy) Kevin Rudd is best known as a former Australian prime minister. Last Tuesday night in Queensland, he was mistaken for an Uber driver. The former Labor party leader became an unlikely chauffeur when a group of revelers—described as “tipsy” by Rudd’s daughter—piled into his car as he sought parking at a local restaurant. Rudd obliged the passengers, reportedly driving half the journey to the town’s main drag before being recognized by his would-be customers. “Four young Melburnians getting drenched in a Queensland subtropical downpour at Noosa last night with no Uber in sight … So what’s a man to do?” Rudd later wrote on Twitter.

The Australian Journal of Mining

SIX KEY METHODS TO ACCESSIBILITY PROFICIENT MINING WORKER

 Back in the 1940s, the then Preacher for Immigration, Arthur Calwell, prophetically announced that Australia should "occupy or perish"; words that still resonate strongly more than sixty years later on.

uraniumsa

Last year, around three quarters of Australia's local companies stated they had experienced problems in recruiting employees. They nominated an absence of suitably certified employees as the 2nd biggest restriction on business financial investment.

 There are some answers to this predicament that can offer Australia's mining market access to not simply a neighborhood abilities pool however a worldwide one. They are attainable in the short-term as well as would enhance the lasting, calculated education and learning and also training of Australians.

Several of these consist of:

 1. Quick short-lived work visas for approximately four years

These are typically the most sensible, prompt solution for a mining company. More than 50,000 of these popular visas (referred to as "457 visas") are provided annually. In addition, extremely recent law changes have accepted some mining firms for direct sponsorship of bona fide company people to travel to as well as enter Australia on one or more occasions of approximately 3 months to conduct organization. Examples of suitable tasks consist of a meeting, settlement or an exploratory business see. These visas are intended for those service site visitors (including intended workers - but seek lawful suggestions initially) with an Australian enroller as well as that are looking for a fast-tracking process. Moreover, the 100,000 or two working holiday makers, taking a trip constantly around Australia, are currently able to help each employer for 6 months per task instead of 3 months.

 2. Mining firm employer-sponsored irreversible residence for abroad skilled workers

The quick visas described over can additionally be used by the company as well as the staff member as "stepping stones" to Australian permanent residence (the right to live and also operate in Australia completely with one's family). There are 3 methods to do this. To start with, to use a "457 visa" holder that has held a "457 visa" for at least 2 years (or only one year if the employee currently has held a "457 visa" with another employer for a year), and then obtain their long-term home as a long-term employee. Secondly, if the suggested long-term staff member has three years' message qualification experience they can make use of an evaluation of their abroad abilities as grounds for long-term home. Finally, an appropriately knowledgeable employee used an income of at least $165,000 can remain permanently because method. In each situation the company must also have sponsorship authorization from The Department of Immigration as well as Multicultural and Indigenous Matters (DIMIA).

 3. The Regional Sponsored Movement Scheme (RSMS).

If an employer finds and chooses an abroad task candidate, after that a DIMIA Regional Certifying Body (RCB) can license the person as well as position for approval along with examine the employer's election. Afterwards, the visa can be given. The RCB's are strategically placed throughout Australia and contactable on a nationwide free-call number or through a lawyer or movement representative.

 The advantages of the RSMS for a company are:

. Employers are eligible for a 10 percent lower minimal salary for the visa candidate ($ 37 665 rather than $41 850 for a "457");

. Employers can target a bigger range of occupations consisting of semi-skilled workers;

. There are useful leisures to the normal rigorous visa demands i.e visa applicant's age and also language abilities.

 4. Abilities matching database (SMD).

This is a cost-free services provided by DIMIA on the web, that matches around 6,500 proficient migrants (whose resumes are on the internet) waiting for sponsorship, with regional jobs. The web site offers you the option to look for potential candidates in the needed occupation as well as obtain access to specific task candidate's details.

 5. Regional outreach policemans (ROO).

The ROOs give info on state-specific/regional migration efforts as well as communicate on behalf of employers with state/local governments to elevate recognition of local movement. They intend to work with employer's skills requires and purposes and also companies need to inform them of any abilities shortages.

 6. Skills Movement Expos - Australia and also overseas.

DIMIA has actually acted to market Australia's skills shortages and needs to the world as well as within Australia. It organizes a collection of "Australia Demands Skills" expos throughout the world that offer employers accessibility to experienced, English-speaking travelers who they can fund right into Australia. Upcoming expositions consist of Detroit and Houston (USA), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Lima (Peru), Dublin (Ireland) in late August/early September, and Manchester as well as London (UK) in early October. In 2015's international expositions attracted greater than 8,000 participants in London, Amsterdam, Berlin and also Chennai.

 DIMIA expos around Australia goal to attach employers with temporary visa holders as well as long-term residents. The expos target global university students, working holiday makers (backpackers), momentary citizens, overseas visitors as well as other skilled workers in Australia. In 2005, expositions were kept in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth with about 40 companies and also 35 local as well as state government agents. There were around 500 participants in Brisbane, 4,800 in Melbourne as well as 2,800 in Perth.

There are plainly options to resolve the existing abilities shortage in the mining sector. However, it is vital to get in touch with a knowledgeable as well as effective case-proven attorney and also migration representative, as the Australian government can not be relied upon for recommendations or help as well as the regulations in this area are constantly transforming as well as developing.

Women’s History Month began as a week-long celebration in Sonoma, California in 1978 which was centered around International Women’s Day on March 8. A year later during a women’s history conference at Sarah Lawrence College, participants learned how successful the week was and decided to initiate similar events in their own areas. President Carter issued the first proclamation for a national Women’s History Week in 1980. In 1987, Congress (after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project) passed Pub. L. 100-9 designating March as Women’s History Month. U.S. Presidents have issued proclamations on Women’s History Month since 1988.

The University of Central Florida community joins together to celebrate Women’s History Month across the multiple campuses with a wide variety of activities including workshops, film screenings, and WomanFest. Visit the Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s #neverthelessshepersisted page to learn more about the scheduled events, and stop by the library to view the display wall which includes bras decorated at our Honor, Remember & Support workshop.

A Short History of Women:  A Novel by Kate Walbert A profoundly moving portrait of the complicated legacies of mothers and daughters, A Short History of Women chronicles five generations of women from the close of the nineteenth century through the early years of the twenty-first. Beginning in 1914 at the deathbed of Dorothy Trevor Townsend, a suffragette who starves herself for the cause, the novel traces the echoes of her choice in the stories of her descendants—a brilliant daughter who tries to escape the burden of her mother’s infamy; a granddaughter who chooses a conventional path, only to find herself disillusioned; a great-granddaughter who wryly articulates the free-floating anxiety of post-9/11 Manhattan.

A Uterus is a Feature, Not a Bug: the working woman's guide to overthrowing the patriarchy by Sarah Lacy A rallying cry for working mothers everywhere that demolishes the "distracted, emotional, weak" stereotype and definitively shows that these professionals are more focused, decisive, and stronger than any other force. There is copious academic research showing the benefits of working mothers on families and the benefits to companies who give women longer and more flexible parental leave. There are even findings that demonstrate women with multiple children actually perform better at work than those with none or one. Yet despite this concrete proof that working mothers are a lucrative asset, they still face the "Maternal Wall"—widespread unconscious bias about their abilities, contributions, and commitment. Fortunately, this prejudice is slowly giving way to new attitudes, thanks to more women starting their own businesses, and companies like Netflix, Facebook, Apple, and Google implementing more parent-friendly policies. But the most important barrier to change isn’t about men. Women must rethink the way they see themselves after giving birth. As entrepreneur Sarah Lacy makes clear in this cogent, persuasive analysis and clarion cry, the strongest, most lucrative, and most ambitious time of a woman’s career may easily be after she sees a plus sign on a pregnancy test.

Ale, beer and brewsters in England: Women's work in a changing world, 1300-1600 by J. M. Bennett Women brewed and sold most of the ale consumed in medieval England, but after 1350, men slowly took over the trade. By 1600, most brewers in London were male, and men also dominated the trade in many towns and villages. This book asks how, when, and why brewing ceased to be women's work and instead became a job for men. Employing a wide variety of sources and methods, Bennett vividly describes how brewsters (that is, female brewers) gradually left the trade. She also offers a compelling account of the endurance of patriarchy during this time of dramatic change. Suggested by Judy Kuhns, UCF Connect Libraries

Ban en Banlieue by Bhanu Kapil Bhanu Kapil's Ban en Banlieue follows a brown (black) girl as she walks home from school in the first moments of a riot. An April night in London, in 1979, is the axis of this startling work of overlapping arcs and varying approaches. By the end of the night, Ban moves into an incarnate and untethered presence, becoming all matter-- soot, meat, diesel oil and force--as she loops the city with the energy of global weather. Derived from performances in India, England and throughout the U.S., Ban en Banlieue is written at the limit of somatic and civic aims. Suggested by Sara Duff, Acquisitions & Collections

BITCHfest: ten years of cultural criticism from the pages of Bitch magazine edited by Lisa Jervis and Andi Zeisler In the wake of Sassy and as an alternative to the more staid reporting of Ms., Bitch was launched in the mid-nineties as a Xerox-and-staple zine covering the landscape of popular culture from a feminist perspective. Both unabashed in its love for the guilty pleasures of consumer culture and deeply thoughtful about the way the pop landscape reflects and impacts women's lives, Bitch grew to be a popular, full-scale magazine with a readership that stretched worldwide. Today it stands as a touchstone of hip, young feminist thought, looking with both wit and irreverence at the way pop culture informs feminism―and vice versa―and encouraging readers to think critically about the messages lurking behind our favorite television shows, movies, music, books, blogs, and the like. BITCHFest offers an assortment of the most provocative essays, reporting, rants, and raves from the magazine's first ten years, along with new pieces written especially for the collection. Smart, nuanced, cranky, outrageous, and clear-eyed, the anthology covers everything from a 1996 celebration of pre-scandal Martha Stewart to a more recent critical look at the "gayby boom"; from a time line of black women on sitcoms to an analysis of fat suits as the new blackface; from an attempt to fashion a feminist vulgarity to a reclamation of female virginity. It's a recent history of feminist pop-culture critique and an arrow toward feminism's future. Suggest by Missy Murphey, Research & Information Services

 Bolshevik women by B. E. Clements Bolshevik Women is a history of the women who joined the Soviet Communist Party before 1921. Drawing on a database of more than five hundred individuals as well as on intensive research into the lives of the most prominent female Bolsheviks, Barbara Clements tells the fascinating story of the female Reds who survived imprisonment, built bombs, led armies into battle, and struggled to survive under Stalin. The study argues that women were important members of the Communist Party during its formative years. Suggested by Judy Kuhns, UCF Connect Libraries

Everybody Matters: my life giving voice by Mary Robinson with Tessa Robinson One of the most inspiring women of our age, Mary Robinson has spent her life in pursuit of a fairer world, becoming a powerful and influential voice for human rights around the globe. Displaying a gift for storytelling and remembrance, Robinson reveals, in Everybody Matters, what lies behind the vision, strength, and determination that made her path to prominence as compelling as any of her achievements. As an activist lawyer, she won landmark cases advancing the causes of women and marginalized people against the prejudices of the day, and in her twenty years in the Irish Senate she promoted progressive legislation, including the legalizing of contraception. In l990, she shocked the political system by becoming Ireland's first woman president, redefining the role and putting Ireland firmly on the international stage. In her role as UN High Commissioner for human rights, beginning in 1997, she won acclaim for bringing attention to victims worldwide but was often frustrated both by the bureaucracy and by the willingness to compromise on principle. Now back in Ireland and heading her Mary Robinson Foundation-Climate Justice, she has found the independence she needs to work effectively on behalf of the millions of poor around the world most affected by climate change.

Intimations: Stories by Alexandra Kleeman In her second book, a collection of twelve stories irresistibly seductive in their strangeness, Kleeman explores human life from beginning to end: the distress of birth into a world already formed; the brief and confusing period of "living" where we understand what is expected of us and struggle to do it; and the death-y period toward the end where we sense it is ending and will end only partially understood, at best.

Lady Constance Lytton: aristocrat, suffragette, martyr by Lyndsey Jenkins Lady Constance Lytton was the most unlikely of suffragettes. The daughter of a Viceroy of India and herself a lady in waiting to the Queen, a chance encounter with a suffragette suddenly gave her life a purpose. She was converted to the cause of women's suffrage and went to prison, but Constance soon found that her name and class singled her out for privileged treatment. So she decided to go to prison in disguise, getting herself arrested in Liverpool. She was force-fed 8 times before her identity was discovered and she was released.

My Antonia by Willa Cather My Antonia tells the story of several immigrant families who move to rural Nebraska. Antonia is the eldest daughter of the Shimerdas and is a bold and free-hearted young woman who becomes the center of narrator Jim Burden's attention. The novel offers many elements, but clearly documents the struggles of the hard-working immigrants that homesteaded the prairies, particularly the hardships suffered by women. My Antonia provides Willa Cather with a platform for commentary about women's rights, while weaving a story where romantic interests are ultimately bandied about by the uncontrolled changes that occur in people's lives. The final book of Willa Cather's prairie trilogy, My Antonia (1918) is considered her greatest accomplishment. Suggested by Larry Cooperman, Research & Information Services

Sally Ride: America’s first woman in space by Lynn Sherr The definitive biography of Sally Ride, America’s first woman in space, with exclusive insights from Ride’s family and partner, by the ABC reporter who covered NASA during its transformation from a test-pilot boys’ club to a more inclusive elite. Sally Ride made history as the first American woman in space. A member of the first astronaut class to include women, she broke through a quarter-century of white male fighter jocks when NASA chose her for the seventh shuttle mission, cracking the celestial ceiling and inspiring several generations of women. Sherr also writes about Ride’s scrupulously guarded personal life—she kept her sexual orientation private—with exclusive access to Ride’s partner, her former husband, her family, and countless friends and colleagues. Sherr draws from Ride’s diaries, files, and letters. This is a rich biography of a fascinating woman whose life intersected with revolutionary social and scientific changes in America. Sherr’s revealing portrait is warm and admiring but unsparing. It makes this extraordinarily talented and bold woman, an inspiration to millions, come alive.

The Mothers by Brit Bennett Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett's mesmerizing first novel is an emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and ambition. It begins with a secret. It is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance—and the subsequent cover-up—will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver, and dogged by the constant, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? The possibilities of the road not taken are a relentless haunt. In entrancing, lyrical prose, The Mothers asks whether a "what if" can be more powerful than an experience itself. If, as time passes, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves, to the communities that have parented us, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever.

The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict In the tradition of The Paris Wife and Mrs. Poe, The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. It is the story of Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight. Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage. Suggested by Martha Cloutier, Circulation

This Will Be My Undoing: living at the intersection of black, female, and feminist in (white) America by Morgan Jerkins In her collection of linked essays, Jerkins takes on perhaps one of the most provocative contemporary topics: What does it mean to "be"-- to live as, to exist as-- a black woman today? Doubly disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced, and marginalized with devastating consequences, in ways both obvious and subtle, that are rarely acknowledged in our country's larger discussion about inequality. Jerkins exposes the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large.

You Can't Touch My Hair: and other things I still have to explain by Phoebe Robinson Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend," as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isn't that ... white people music?"); she's been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the page--and she's going to make you laugh as she's doing it. Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is "Queen. Bae. Jesus," to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, You Can't Touch My Hair examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.

Strock Stone House

7217-7269 Mahoning Ave.

Youngstown, OH 44515

The Austintown Historical Society oversees two National Register of Historic Places: Austin Log Cabin (circa 1814) and Strock Stone House (circa 1831). The "Strock Stone House," also known as the Judge William Shaw Anderson House, is a building in Austintown, Ohio, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The house was built in 1830 of huge blocks of sandstone, some weighing as much as 750 pounds, quarried from Stony Ridge on South Turner Road in Austintown by William McClure. However, the first residents were William Strock and his family. Strock was born June 12, 1801, to Joseph Strock and Betsy Bensinger Strock in Tyrone Township, Pennsylvania. Strock's entire family migrated to Austintown in 1813 or 1815. The Strocks settled in the southern part of Austintown township near the Smiths Corner area. William became a carpenter and married Lydia Crum. The couple had three children, two of whom died as infants. In 1830, Strock bought 87 acres of land in Great Lot 8, Township 2, Range 3 of the Western Reserve from John Jordan and had McClure build the house there.

In 1851, Strock sold the house and the accompanying 108 acres to Francis Henry. Henry was active in the Restoration (reformed Baptist) movement. The Strock Stone house was reputedly a stop on the Underground Railroad that smuggled fugitive slaves to safety in Canada. This claim has yet to be proven, but some evidence appears to support it. In 1863, Henry sold the house to David Anderson, a native of Derry, Northern Ireland, who immigrated to Philadelphia in 1831 or 1832, and his wife, Hannah L. Shaw Anderson. After Hannah died of an accidental fall in 1879, Anderson reportedly let the house fall into disrepair, and it became an animal shelter.

In 1890, David Anderson's oldest son, William Shaw Anderson, acquired the property from his father. The younger Anderson originally used it as a summer home from 1890 to 1925. He was a prominent lawyer and judge in the Youngstown Court of Common Pleas. Anderson reportedly entertained President William McKinley at the house. Anderson restored the house and expanded it between 1912 and 1918. This addition included the sun porch, dining room, and dinette on first floor, three bedrooms and a bath on the second floor, and an enlarged cellar. Anderson also added central heat. Other buildings on the property at this time included three barns, a pump house, a poultry house, a bull barn, a log house, a milk house, an ice house, a tool house, a tool shop and a corn crib.

Anderson's children, Randall H. and Blanche Anderson, acquired the Strock Stone house upon their father's death in 1925. In 1929, they sold the house and lands to the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District (MVSD). The house served as the residence for the Chief Engineer of the MVSD until 1985. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 1976. The Austintown Historical Society maintains the Strock Stone House with help from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. The Society maintains and furnishes the interior using period rugs and furniture donated by residents of Austintown including a slave quilt from South Carolina. The display includes a collection of antique washing machines in the basement. The parlor contains antique furniture including an organ. The back porch is arranged as a summer kitchen and includes an enamel top table; a Hoosier cabinet; an enamel wood fired stove; an antique enamel sink; antique dishes, cooking utensils and bake ware; pressure cookers and canning jars; and vintage spice and storage containers.

One bedroom of the Strock Stone House contains period children's games and clothing. Another room is set up as a lady's bedroom with antique clothes including a wedding dress, coats, bloomers, purses, woolen swimsuits, and a Depression sheet made from sugar sacks. The third bedroom, the man's bedroom, includes appropriate male furnishings including a man's shirt with a removable celluloid collar and collar keeper, a trunk circa 1890 from London, a wooden suitcase from Germany, and lift top commode. The fourth room, the quilting room, is furnished with an antique quilt rack complete with an antique quilt cover in the process of being made, a treadle sewing machine, a yarn winder, and a wooden ironing board accompanied by eight metal irons. The fifth bedroom, the office, includes an antique printing press, two 1920 Remington typewriters on an antique desk, five ledger books dated 1901 from local grocery stores, antique books, and pictures of early businesses in Austintown. The house is open for free guided tours the first Sunday of every month from 1-4 P.M. and by appointment for other times.

Which is better - Fiancé Visa or Spouse Visa?

Which visa should you apply for: the fiancé or the spouse visa? This is a question you could be asking yourself if you want to live with your spouse in the UK.

You must first secure the proper visa in order to reside with your spouse in this country. Many individuals are uncertain about the sort of visa they require, but if you're one of them, don't worry—consult an Ireland immigration lawyer in London today.

These two visas differ significantly in a few important ways. The Spouse Visa is intended for individuals who want to settle in the UK and permits you to remain for 30 months, whilst the Fiancé Visa is only good for 6 months and is intended for those who want to travel to the UK to legally wed.

The one you choose to apply for will depend on your situation and your partner's. Choose the Spouse Visa if you're already married and wish to stay in this country permanently. On the other hand, if you only want to travel here to be married with your significant other before relocating permanently, you should apply for the Fiancé Visa.

You must satisfy the Home Office's standards before applying for a fiancé visa. Following are the conditions for a fiancé visa:

Your companion has Indefinite Leave to Remain or is a British citizen.

You and your spouse have both reached legal marriage-age You have personally met

You intend to live in the UK and your relationship is sincere.

Within six months, you want to get married.

You have the necessary funds.

There is sufficient space for you and any dependents.

Your level of English is acceptable.

What conditions must be met for a spouse visa?

The applicant and their partner both need to fulfil a number of standards in order to be approved for a Spouse Visa. There are several changes even though many are the same as with the fiancé visa:

Your companion has Indefinite Leave to Remain or is a British citizen.

You and your partner have both reached legal marriage age and are both at least 18 years old.

You aim to live together in the UK, and your relationship is sincere.

You have the necessary funds.

There is enough space for you and any dependents.

Your level of English is acceptable.

You and your partner must show that you can sustain your stay on your own without using any public funding when applying for a Fiancé Visa or a Spouse Visa. There is a minimum income criterion in place to ensure that you both will be making an acceptable income, which aids the Home Office in making this determination.

You must have a joint income of at least £18,600 in order for your application for either the fiancé visa or the spouse visa to be approved. Be mindful that families who travel will require a greater income, according to an Ireland immigration lawyer in London. How much higher will depend on how many kids you're taking along.

These are the precise amounts:

for the first kid, £3,800

£2,400 for any additional children.What if your union fizzles out?

If your visa is dependent on your relationship, you are required to notify the Home Office if it ends. Once you've done that, you must either depart the country or apply for a different kind of visa.

You must email the Home Office to inform them of the breakdown of your partnership. Include the following information about you and your spouse when you get in touch:

Name Birthdate Address Passport number

Home Office identification number

You must also submit the aforementioned information for any children you may have.

The law on foreign takeovers is being tightened

Foreign direct investment The law on foreign takeovers is being tightened

It’s not about China, honest

IN SEPTEMBER 2016, Theresa May approved a plan allowing a state-owned Chinese company to take a minority stake in a project to build Hinkley Point nuclear power station, but her government was uncomfortable with the decision. It carried out a review of its power to control foreign investments from a national-security standpoint, and found it wanting.

On November 11th Boris Johnson’s government introduced legislation stemming from that review process to Parliament. The bill would require companies to tell the government about any planned transactions within 17 areas of the economy, focused on technology, including categories as broad as “computing hardware”, “artificial intelligence” and “data infrastructure”. The government will also have the power to unwind any transaction completed within the last five years if it deems that transaction to be a matter of “national security”.

Chinese investment is the principal concern. Britain’s new rules look very similar to America’s Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernisation Act (FIRRMA), passed in 2018. Both rely on the application of the rather loose term, “national security”, and have sweeping remits over broad categories of technologies. Chinese inbound investment to the United States has plunged in the two years since FIRRMA was passed. Australia, France and Germany all have similar laws.

Although Alok Sharma, the business secretary, says that the new legislation will ensure that Britain remains attractive to foreign capital, problems loom. The biggest is an open question over the extent to which the law would give the government control over any economic activity involving the flow of data, which underpins most of the 17 categories targeted.

It is unclear whether deals like Ctrip’s £1.4bn purchase in 2016 of Skyscanner, a flight-booking service based in Edinburgh, would be caught. James Palmer of Herbert Smith Freehills, a London law firm thinks that they would. The proposed purchase of a stake in Nanopore, a genetic-sequencing company based in Oxford, by Tencent, a Chinese messaging and gaming app, is now in question.

If the government insists on reviewing all foreign transactions involving data flows, that would discourage firms from basing themselves in Britain. Why would a tech startup subject its future, and any potential sale, to the national-security determinations of the British government when it could just as easily set up shop in freer jurisdictions in Ireland or the Netherlands? The American government has defined national security so broadly that both a New York Times story on spying and Joe Biden’s criticisms of immigration policy fall into it. If Britain were to follow the same path it would bode ill for foreign investment.

The government has set up an Investment Security Unit which will be the first port of call for notifications when the bill becomes law. Corporate lawyers are in the business of reducing risk, and so will notify it when there is any doubt. At present, there is plenty of it. Foreign control of vital technologies is a serious issue, with genuine national-security risks. But the government must be sure that the damage it does the tech sector in dealing with them does not outweigh the benefits.■

IMO from what I have seen, Scotland is against trump, Ireland just opened its doors to refugees, and most brits are against trump going to Britain, so I really dont see trump going over to UK. But if he does I hope he gets schooled on climate change and refugees.

The government don’t care about what Scotland or Ireland think. And as a Conservative government is in charge, they will be calling the shots. They would consider it weak to backtrack now. Usually on state visits the visiting head of state will go to cultural and charitable projects in their host nation. If he’s in London a huge number of those will be operated by Muslims and PoC so it’ll be interesting seeing if any of them agree to have him there. I think he will have a State Visit and I think it will be an embarrassment as no one will want him here. I am grinning at the thought of him meeting our Mayor, the proud Muslim son of Pakistani Immigrants who was formerly a talented lawyer representing victims of discrimination and police brutality…
