Today, Haaland speaks optimistically about Native American rights and increased representation. She sees a new political landscape–especially in her home state–that’s far more progressive and inclusive than decades past.

For executives, it’s worse: 20% miss out on five or more social events a month. What’s most upsetting to employees at all levels is that these statistics only highlight a fraction of the disruption job pressures have on their private lives. Those responses don’t account for major milestone events—the once-in-a-lifetime moments that can’t be rescheduled, such as the 28% who have missed a family member or close friend’s wedding, the 29% who have had to skip out on graduations, the 45% who haven’t showed up for family birthdays, and the 26% of executives who were working overtime instead of being around to hear their child’s first words. … [Read more...] about To get more done in four 6-hour workdays, do these three things

If you are receiving house rent allowance (HRA) from your employer and paying rent, you can claim exemption for the same. If the rent paid is more than Rs 50,000 a month, don’t forget to deduct taxes at 5 per cent on the rent paid during the year. Such deduction should be made from the rent paid in the last month of the financial year or the last month of the tenancy (if the property is vacated during the year). In case the landlord is a non-resident, you will need to calculate the withholding at normal rates (30 per cent plus applicable surcharge [if any] and education cess).
