Timeline: Part 9 - December 1-10 2017

For earlier timeline posts: click here or here.

December starts out strong with a daily bombardment of tons of stories about Meghan and/or Harry. Their PR backs off in the middle of the month, but only barely. Luckily for us, there is salvation: Meghan gets her first, second, third, and fourth dose of royal criticism.

Like I mentioned in the November 2017 timeline, this month sees Meghan pulling her support from Star Magazine, US Weekly, and E Online. People Magazine begins to earn her loyalty instead.

Ok, apparently I exceeded the limit of links that can be in a Tumblr post. the December edition is going to be split up into smaller segments. I've got a solution for how to fix this going forward, but it's going to take some time to figure out how to implement it.

12/1/2017: Fleet Street has a fever and the solution is more Harkle coverage.

Doria is papped at a laundromat in California.

Another story about Ninaki's photos of Meghan.

12/3/2017: Meghan merches the Botswana camp again. The Times writes about Meghan's old instagram account and Bogart and leads speculation about bridesmaids and pageboys. Et tu, Times?!

Note: December 2 is a Saturday and December 3 is a Sunday. How nice Meghan's PR gave us a break for the weekend. But don't worry...the bombardment is back!

OBIT — Robert L. Ross

Professor, academic scholar, Dallas Voice writer Robert Ross dies at 70

Robert L. Ross built a prodigious career studying and teaching the English language.

As a journalist, author and lecturer, he was an apostle for the literary world.

On May 25, Ross died at the Oak Lawn home he shared with his loving wife and best friend, Anita, and their two cats, Furphy and Duffy.

Ross was 70.

In the early part of April 2005, he was diagnosed with an advanced case of lung cancer.

Ross remained a busy freelance writer for the Life+Style section of Dallas Voice.

His final assignment, an interview with modern dance visionary Desmond Richardson, ran in the May 5th edition.

Raised on the coastal town of Florence, Ore., and the son of a logger, Ross’ appreciation for the written word was shaped by a high school English teacher.

His first crack at professional writing was during a summer break for the county newspaper in Siuslaw Ore.

At the University of Oregon, he earned a bachelor of arts degree in English.

Escaping the chill of the Pacific Northwest, Ross fell in love with North Texas’ blistering heat while earning a masters in English at Texas Christian University in 1964 and a doctorate in English, at the University of Texas at Arlington in 1978.

Over the years, he helped shape others who pursued language arts — teaching composition and literature at Southern Methodist University, Clemson University in South Carolina, Pan American University in Edinburg, Texas and Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.

Ross was an academic globetrotter: a guest professor who taught postcolonial literature at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, Australia, Essen University in Essen, Germany and the University of Calgary in Calgary, Canada.

He also lectured at universities in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia.

Publishing an extensive number of essays that appeared in academic books and journals, Ross also wrote and/or edited five books: “Colonial and Postcolonial Fiction, An Anthology,” (Taylor & Francis, 1999), “Australia, A Traveler’s Literary Companion,” (Whereabouts Press, 1998), “Border Lines, Contemporary Poems in English,” (Copp Clark, 1995), “International Literature in English: Essays on the Major Writers,” (Garland Publishing, 1991), “Australian Literary Criticism: 1945-1988” (Garland Publishing, 1989).

Helping build a worldwide network of literary and cultural enthusiasts, Ross was the first president of the American Association of Australian Literary Studies and the founding editor of Antipodes, the organization’s journal.

With such sterling reputation, Ross was a rare and supremely qualified Life+Style contributor.

He began a prolific freelancing career at Dallas Voice in May 2000 and took on a myriad of assignments.

While his forte was covering fine arts (theater, literature, photography, documentaries and anything connected to European or exotic cultures), Ross especially enjoyed profiling GLBT North Texans who exposed him to new adventures: leather aficionados, transgender activists, a lesbian auto mechanic and a proudly corpulent dancer who performs during half-time shows at professional basketball games.

Regardless of age or stripe, Ross touched many lives.

In December 2004, twentysomething reclusive author J.T LeRoy — a former teenage sex-worker and arguably the J.D. Salinger of the 21st century — sent a letter to the Dallas Voice offices praising Ross’ review of the novella “Harold’s End.”

LeRoy said he was struck by Ross’ gorgeous and insightful prose.

Always polite, erudite and extremely dignified, Robert Ross was an asset to Dallas Voice.

We will miss him very much.

Ontario Increases Minimum Wage: Is It Enough to Live On as a Newcomer?

At Esse India, we understand the challenges newcomers face when settling in Canada. As of October 1, 2024, several Canadian provinces, including Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, have raised their minimum wage. In Ontario, the wage has increased from $16.55 to $17.20 per hour. For immigrants pursuing Canadian permanent residency (PR) or leveraging opportunities like the Global Talent Stream, these wage changes play a significant role in financial planning during the immigration process.

A full-time worker in Ontario, clocking an average of 39.3 hours per week, can now expect to earn approximately $675.96 weekly or $35,149.92 annually before taxes. However, after accounting for deductions, the net annual income is $29,026, according to Wealthsimple’s tax calculator. With Toronto being a primary destination for newcomers, the cost of living poses a serious challenge.

For those navigating the Canada PR process or consulting with Canada immigration consultants, managing living expenses becomes critical. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto averages $2,452 per month, and groceries for one person are estimated at $526.50 monthly. Essentials like utilities, internet, and phone services bring the total to approximately $3,407.84 each month, or $40,894.08 annually—well beyond the net income of a minimum-wage worker.

Many immigrants face this reality as they wait for their foreign credentials to be recognized in Canada. While pursuing recognition, they may be forced to accept minimum-wage positions. With 20% of all occupations in Canada being regulated and requiring licenses, the wait for recognition can stretch beyond initial expectations. This highlights the importance of choosing the right Canada PR consultancy or Canadian immigration consultants who can provide proper guidance throughout the process.

Newcomers often find themselves in lower-paying roles or entering programs like the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which offer alternative routes to permanent residency. For those working with Canada immigration consultants in India, weighing the costs of living against potential income is crucial. The same holds true for immigrants interested in Australia PR or Germany PR through Australia immigration consultants or Germany immigration consultants.

The Financial Reality for Newcomers in Canada

While many immigrants aim for higher-paying jobs once their credentials are recognized, the journey can be arduous. Programs such as the Global Talent Stream Canada or BC PNP provide skilled workers a pathway to Canada, but maintaining financial stability during this period is essential. Those applying for visas through Canada spouse visa consultants or seeking Canada tourist visa ETA must also prepare for similar financial pressures.

Despite these hurdles, Canada continues to attract immigrants due to its robust support systems and opportunities for growth. However, at Esse India, we advise prospective immigrants to approach the Canada PR procedure or Canada PR consultancy with realistic expectations, especially those transitioning from regions where the cost of living may differ significantly.

Exploring options like Work and Study in Canada for free, or even considering PR pathways in Australia and Germany, could offer a broader range of opportunities for balancing income with living costs. Whether it’s Canada, Australia, or Germany, it’s important to assess the financial implications thoroughly before making a move.

This content, crafted by Esse India, emphasizes the importance of planning and financial awareness for newcomers pursuing permanent residency in Canada, while also touching on immigration alternatives in Australia and Germany.

Can I Calculate My Maternity Pay? A Simple Guide

Maternity pay is an important aspect of maternity leave, providing financial support as you prepare for and adjust to life with a newborn. Understanding how to calculate your maternity pay can help you plan your finances and ensure you are aware of the benefits you are entitled to. In this blog, we will guide you through the process of calculating your maternity pay and provide a step-by-step guide on writing a maternity leave application. For detailed assistance on crafting your application, read on.

How to Calculate Your Maternity Pay

1. Understanding Your Maternity Pay Components

The calculation of maternity pay depends on several factors, including your country’s regulations, your employer’s policies, and your earnings. Here are the main components to consider:

1.1 Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)

In many countries, statutory maternity pay (SMP) is provided based on a set formula. Here’s a general overview:

United Kingdom: SMP is calculated as follows:

First 6 Weeks: 90% of your average weekly earnings (AWE) before tax.

Next 33 Weeks: Paid at a flat rate of £172.48 per week (as of 2024) or 90% of AWE, whichever is lower.

1.2 Employment Insurance (EI) Benefits

In Canada, maternity benefits are provided through Employment Insurance (EI). The calculation is generally:

Maternity Benefits: 55% of your average weekly earnings, up to a maximum amount set by the government.

1.3 Paid Parental Leave

Countries like Australia offer paid parental leave that is calculated based on:

Government Scheme: Up to 18 weeks at the national minimum wage (approximately AUD $812.60 per week as of 2024).

1.4 Company-Specific Benefits

Many employers offer additional maternity pay beyond statutory requirements. This can include:

Full Salary Pay: Some companies provide full salary payment during maternity leave.

Enhanced Leave Packages: Additional weeks of paid leave or supplemental payments.

2. Steps to Calculate Your Maternity Pay

2.1 Determine Your Average Weekly Earnings

Calculate your average weekly earnings over a specified period, typically 8 weeks, leading up to your maternity leave. Include all relevant earnings such as bonuses and overtime.

2.2 Apply the Relevant Percentage or Flat Rate

Apply the appropriate percentage or flat rate to your average weekly earnings to determine your statutory maternity pay. For instance:

UK SMP: First 6 weeks at 90% of AWE, followed by 33 weeks at the lower of £172.48 or 90% of AWE.

2.3 Factor in Additional Benefits

If your employer offers additional maternity pay or if you are eligible for enhanced benefits, include these amounts in your calculation.

2.4 Use Online Calculators

Many countries and organizations offer online calculators to help you determine your maternity pay. Check government or employer websites for available tools.

Example Calculation (UK):

Average Weekly Earnings (AWE): £600

SMP for First 6 Weeks: 90% of £600 = £540 per week

SMP for Next 33 Weeks: Flat rate of £172.48 or 90% of £600 = £540 per week (whichever is lower, so £172.48 applies here)

How to Write a Maternity Leave Application: A Step-by-Step Guide

To ensure a smooth transition and receive your maternity pay, a well-written maternity leave application is crucial. Follow these steps to create an effective application:

Step 1: Address the Letter Formally

Begin with a formal salutation, addressing your direct supervisor or HR manager. Use “Dear [Supervisor’s Name]” or “To Whom It May Concern.”

Step 2: State Your Request

Clearly state that you are requesting maternity leave, including the start date and expected duration. Mention your understanding of the maternity pay you will receive, if applicable.

Step 3: Provide Relevant Details

Include your expected due date and any relevant details about your leave. Explain how you plan to manage your responsibilities or transition your work before your leave begins.

Step 4: Offer Assistance

Show your willingness to assist with the transition, such as training a temporary replacement or preparing handover notes.

Step 5: Include Contact Information

Provide your contact details in case your employer needs to reach you during your leave. Specify your preferred method of contact.

Step 6: Close Professionally

End your letter with a professional closing, such as “Sincerely” or “Best regards,” followed by your name and signature.

Calculating your maternity pay and preparing a well-structured application are key to a successful maternity leave experience.

Part Time Jobs in Canada for Indian Students 2024

Part time jobs in Canada for Indian students serve as a practical means to manage daily expenses while pursuing education. The leading universities in Canada permit students to engage in part-time work for up to 20 hours weekly during semesters. Additionally, if you possess a study permit and are enrolled full-time at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), you can extend your working hours to more than 20 per week for off-campus jobs in Canada, a privilege available until December 31, 2023.

As per data from the Ministry of External Affairs, an impressive 226,000 Indian students currently hold study permits for Canada. Acquiring a study permit not only facilitates academic pursuits but also grants eligibility for engaging in part-time employment. Typically, students can earn approximately 200 CAD (~11,900 INR) per week or even more through part-time jobs in Canada.

There exists a variety of both off-campus and on-campus part-time job opportunities for candidates. However, it’s imperative to highlight that students desiring off-campus employment in Canada must have the requisite authorization specified in their study permit regulations. With the proper authorization, international students can acquire valuable work experience, augment their income, and effectively support their cost of living in Canada.

Part Time Jobs in Canada Eligibility Criteria

The criteria for part-time jobs in Canada for international students can vary based on the employer, industry, and job specifications. However, here are some general requirements employers may seek when hiring part-time workers in Canada:

Valid Study Permit: International students must possess a valid study permit explicitly authorizing off-campus work.

Enrollment at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI): Students should be enrolled in a DLI approved by the Canadian government for hosting international students.

Academic Standing: Students must maintain good academic standing and make satisfactory progress in their academic programs.

Work Limits: During regular academic sessions, students are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week, with full-time employment allowed during scheduled breaks such as winter or summer holidays.

Social Insurance Number (SIN): International students need a valid SIN to work in Canada. Application for a SIN can be made at a Service Canada office.

Language Proficiency: Proficiency in English or French is required, depending on the language requirements of the job.
