Stress and anxiety are a part of life. You experience these emotions when there is some looming threat or calamity that must be avoided and you have not yet successfully solved or even tackled the problem. Often when you’re feeling stress you know the reason. There’s a deadline, an issue with a client or customer, or some other significant problem that needs to be solved.

It might also lead you to ruminate —that is, to engage in a cycle of negative thoughts. When that happens, here are three things you can do to get some relief: 1. Deal with the energy When stress makes you less productive, it is probably because you … [Read more...] about 3 productive ways to relieve midday anxiety

MANILA, Philippines  – Three of the largest export trade associations in the country are urging the government to make good on its promise to resolve the issues concerning their zero value-added tax (VAT) rating incentive, saying they are still awaiting resolution less than two weeks before the given time. A joint statement released by the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation Inc. (SEIPI), and the Confederation Wearables Exporters of the Philippines (CONWEP) said that a solution has been promised by the end of the month, which also coincides with the end of the first taxable quarter. “The understanding of the sectors is that most of the government agencies involved in resolving the issue believe that there is clear basis for all purchases of exporters to be without the 12 percent VAT, given that this is not only allowed by the rules but is more importantly critical in ensuring that the … [Read more...] about PH exporters urged gov’t to address VAT exemption issue

STOCKHOLM/LONDON  – Rapid technological advances such as the ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence (AI) app are complicating efforts by European Union lawmakers to agree on landmark AI laws, sources with direct knowledge of the matter have told Reuters. The European Commission proposed the draft rules nearly two years ago in a bid to protect citizens from the dangers of the emerging technology, which has experienced a boom in investment and consumer popularity in recent months.
