And as Modi looks to win another five years in power in an ongoing nationwide election, critics fear further erosion of the protections afforded to India’s free press. “I think many times before I write stories,” Kappan told CNN. Since his bail, Kappan has struggled to find a permanent job to provide for his family. Kumar told CNN he resigned because Adani’s proximity to Modi and the BJP would leave him unable to continue asking tough questions of the government. “They gave no reasons nor any justifications for why they denied my permit,” she told CNN from Paris.

The question for some of us is, why some people want to keep working decades beyond retirement age? CNN Opinion editor Stephanie Griffith asked seven people who are past the conventional retirement age why they are still at the job and got as many responses as there were respondents. They continue to work happily and productively, and were happy to explain to us how and why they do it. Over the years I’ve had to adapt frequently to the changing technology, which isn’t always easy for someone my age. That may be the secret of working well past the time society tells us we’re supposed to retire.

So I got a job at a shipping company handling packages because I needed health insurance. AdvertisementAt the shipping company, it felt like management had the mindset that if we could be somewhere else, we would be there. It also makes the work feel more meaningful by scratching the itch in the creative side of my brain. You don't get that same sense of being "in the dirt" together when you're working a corporate job. Sometimes, there's that sentiment in office jobs, too, but it's a different kind of dirt when you're working these physical labor jobs.

Still, it is harder for workers to find new jobs, which could be especially tough on recent college graduates. A digital nomad visa is a short-term permit that allows someone to stay in a country for an extended period of time and work remotely. The length of time a nomad can stay varies from place to place but most countries allow for six months to a year. The United States does not have a digital nomad visa, but does offer other visa options that might allow for someone to work in the country as a freelancer. As of May 2024, the following countries are offering digital nomad visas or similar schemes geared toward bringing in remote workers.

Two weeks after a painful breakup, being assigned a new project offered a much-needed boost. After a few initial meetings, my editor mentioned another reporter whose beat overlapped with our mission would be joining the team. The door opened, and he walked into the meeting with his laptop and notebook — and his head down. Every time I overheard his voice when I was trying to focus on my work, my heart broke piece by piece. I confessed I was going through a break-up — stopping short of pointing my ex out to her as he walked by the meeting room.

Hamas said it told Egyptian and Qatari negotiators that it has approved a cease-fire proposal to halt the war in Gaza. Israel is examining the proposal that Hamas approved and has not confirmed whether it would accept or reject it, an Israeli official told NBC News. Hostage release negotiations intensified over the weekend, with facilitation from U.S. CIA Director William Burns, alongside mediators from Egypt and Qatar. U.S. officials have repeatedly warned Israel against an offensive in Rafah, where millions of civilians have taken refuge. President Joe Biden reiterated that stance on a half-hour Monday call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which took place before Hamas had announced its approval of a cease-fire proposal.

A young Shaolin monk runs horizontally across a wall, intense concentration, and perhaps a hint of astonishment, visible in his face. Four other trainees at a martial arts academy near the Shaolin Temple in China’s Henan province lounge nonchalantly, seemingly unaware of the gravity-defying action taking place above their heads. “There’s this high-level action,” photographer Steve McCurry told CNN of the photo’s composition in a video call from his home in Philadelphia. The Shaolin Temple – which was founded in AD 495 on the slopes of the sacred Mount Song – is said to be the home of Chan Buddhism. Today, Shaolin kung fu is widely known, and the monks’ feats in athleticism have been emulated in popular movies.

When a journalist is killed, it is not just their voice that is silenced: Press freedom is your freedom. Over 30 years ago, the United Nations recognized May 3 as World Press Freedom Day: a global reminder of the importance of press freedom and an opportunity to assess its health around the world. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) found that at least 100 journalists and media workers have been killed since we last marked World Press Freedom Day. Tragically, on this World Press Freedom Day, our work is needed more than ever. On this World Press Freedom Day, the fallen who gave their lives for the truth should serve as a reminder as to why press freedom is really your freedom.

And — no surprise — you’re also obligated to pay tax on any income or gains you received from your crypto assets last year. If you sold crypto in 2023: You need to calculate whether you had a capital gain or loss. If, instead, you made money on the sale or exchange of your crypto last year, you realized a capital gain. And you may need to report a capital gain or loss on the transaction. You will have to report a $10,000 capital gain too ($20,000-$10,000).

Instead, I forced myself to try to do it all in an effort to prove that I could balance both work and worship. When the last Ramadan came around, I was already doing a part-time Quran course three days a week that was continuing throughout Ramadan.

In 1970, more than two-thirds of American adults between 25 and 49 lived with a spouse and at least one kid. For a society structured around the ideal of the nuclear family, its demise has left everyone wondering: What happens now? Without one partner focused on full-time housekeeping, the amount of work required to run a nuclear family isn't really feasible. It doesn't take much of a mental leap to see why capitalism and the nuclear family make for such cozy bedfellows. Coontz, a leading historian of the American family, notes that every family structure comes with its own set of distinct weaknesses, strengths, and possibilities.

By hiring an accountant, we'll be able to get the most out of tax season and save for retirement. Short-term capital gains are profits you've made on stock that you've held for one year or less. Long-term capital gains are gains on investments you've held for longer than a year and range from 0% to 20%. What tax rate you'll pay on these gains depends on your taxable income, or what tax bracket you fall into. Little-known tax moves like this are another reason hiring an accountant is worth every penny.

I have many financial goals, so instead of one big savings account, I have one for each goal. Years ago, I heard some advice from a financial influencer that stuck with me: If you have numerous savings goals, set up different savings accounts and give each a name to correspond with their purpose. I opened up six new Capital One 360 Performance Savings accounts in the new year to help me achieve my financial goals. TaxesI'm embarrassed to say that I have never set aside money for taxes in all my years as a freelancer.

But some smaller, more specialized tax credits and deductions could score you hundreds (or even thousands) of extra dollars back as well.

At first glance, this might seem counterintuitive — why wouldn't you deduct state income tax, which is usually a larger sum? AdvertisementEven if your state has an income tax, you may still come ahead by itemizing sales tax instead, depending on your tax profile. The IRS provides tables and tools to calculate if claiming sales tax delivers more savings than claiming income tax.

Chris Blondell, an SEO strategist, turned down a high-paying job that required him to be in office. Blondell later found another job that offered both benefits and the flexibility to work from anywhere. All of my work is done behind a computer, so the transition from office to kitchen table wasn't difficult. However, the job description stated that the position required me to be in the office five days a week. More than that, my coworkers are polite and respectful, and I have the flexibility to work in the office or at home.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andrea Götsch was surprised when she won her audition in 2019 that led to membership in the Vienna Philharmonic. I thought that was too far away.”A male bastion from its founding in 1842 until 1997, the Vienna Philharmonic now has 24 female players among 145 members with three vacancies as it tours the United States this week. And we want the best members, so it was the right decision.”Based since 1870 at Vienna’s Musikverein, the Vienna Philharmonic elects leadership, engages conductors, chooses programs and schedules tours and recording sessions. It selects members from the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and has had a summer residency at the Salzburg Festival since 1922. A year later, she was confirmed for the Opera Orchestra and in 2022 she became a VPO member.
