Modern slavery: Home Office secretly blocked right to stay for trafficking victims | openDemocracy

…Around 1,500 survivors of modern slavery may have been denied support from the government as a result of its unlawful behaviour, which carried on for almost 18 months after the 2021 judgement.

Suella Braverman, while home secretary, even asked her staff whether “doing nothing was an option” when an appeal against the ruling failed.

Last week the High Court ruled the Home Office had broken the law with its secret policy, which involved stalling applications without reason. The case centred around a 22-year-old Albanian man who was denied leave to remain in the UK even after the Home Office accepted he was a victim of modern slavery…

Embracing a Growth Mindset | From Behind the Pen

“I learned that learning truly is a skill … and that by continuing to learn to this day, I can compete and get ahead of most people because the reality is, most people don’t put in the time to learn … and that’s always given me a competitive advantage.”

-Mark Cuban

Do you embrace a growth mindset or a fixed mindset? Each of us has the opportunity to improve some aspect of our lives. Our efforts, the key to achieving goals, can lead to outcomes with focus, awareness, and persistence.

Gas guzzlers pay a big price in France – Darcy Hitchcock

Since 2022, large, heavy combustion vehicles already had to pay a penalty tax. But now cars weighing more than 1,600 kg are included, which factors in a lot of SUVs and larger vehicles – and that tax gets added to cars already exceeding the CO2 limits. For cars weighing between 1,600 and 1,799 kg, drivers pay €10 per kilo of excess weight. Heavier cars pay more tax, with all vehicles over 2,100 kg paying €30 per extra kilo.

Flowering Snow – yaskhan

Much to my surprise, I saw the upturned face of the Crocus . The snow had not melted, yet, there was Glory of the snow poking out of the whiteness.. heralding spring .. these tiny star shaped flowers taking the sting out of the chill.

Flowers are harbingers of a much awaited spring stirring life, nudging everything that breathes , out of hibernation. The sun looked dazed , its pale aurum beams shielding me from the nip in the air.

With eyes as wide as saucers, I slipped out into the golden sunshine , looking for blossoms in the melting snow.

I chanced upon the Windflower on the arms of a tipsy , gyrating breeze, its petals all puffed up, nodding pleasingly!

My step faltered as I heard a yell and there he was waving wildly Jack in the pulpit dressed in his mantle of yellowish brown stripes.. his hues dazzled my eyes, before I could catch my breath , I heard a buzz. A group of female bees were out and about looking for the Ghost flower . I stepped back to let them go , feeling thirsty and a wee bit dizzy, I decided to hunt for dewberries. I found Narcissus playing all by himself , as he charmed the breeze and the sky. As I walked dry twigs crackled under my feet. I popped a dewberry into my mouth relishing its flavor and freshness.

My eyes caught sight of the stunningly exotic Birds of paradise . As I inhaled the fragrance of Hyacinths, Marigolds, Lilacs, Impatiens, I felt a sense of wonder and peace ..

A return to happiness with Lily of the valley , I knew I found it when I found the Irises , my rainbow at the bend of snow’s refrain.

तीसरा नियम / Third Law – Kaushal Kishore

 

न्यूटन ने तीसरा नियम बनाया 

कि प्रत्येक क्रिया की बराबर 

और विपरीत प्रतिक्रिया होती है, 

जिसका मैं अक्षरश: पालन करता हूं 

और इसलिए अब मैं केवल 

दुआएं और मुस्कान ही भेजता हूं…

😊😊😊

Newton formulated the third law 

that for every action there is

an equal and opposite reaction,

I follow it literally 

and so now I only send 

my prayers and smiles…

😊
