As Israel conducts retaliatory airstrikes against Iran on the 19th (local time), domestic construction companies operating in Iran and Israel are watching the situation and checking the local situation in real time, including withdrawing their expatriate workers back.
According to the government, foreign construction associations, and construction companies on the 19th, an employee of a large domestic construction company is in Iran. The construction company issued an emergency order for local workers to return home. The current travel warning level for Iran is level 2.5, which is below level 3 where an ‘evacuation advisory’ is issued, but workers have been sent home due to safety concerns. An official from this construction company said, “We are currently discussing with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about returning to Korea.”
A total of 13 construction-related workers were found to be working in Israel. It is confirmed that the majority of them are small and medium businesses that focus on construction equipment. A government official said,
Should The Energy Check Be Declared For Taxes?
2024-04-17 09:10:09
More than 5 million French people use it each year.
It is currently being released, little by little, throughout France. This year again, the energy check will benefit more than 5 million French people, as in 2023. More precisely, 5.3 million taxpayers received this aid last year. Its goal: to help the most deprived to pay an energy bill (electricity, gas, fuel oil, wood), rental charges when residing in an HLM, the bill for a nursing home or other independent residence, or even certain works insulation.
The amount received by beneficiaries varies depending on income. It can range from 48 to 277 euros, with the average paid being around 150 euros. To receive this check, there is nothing to do. This happens automatically. The Ministry of the Economy – which is at the origin of the sending – establishes the list of eligible people based on their last income declaration.
A declaration during which there may be this question: should we declare the energy check in one of the many boxes of the form? On the government site dedicated to this financial support, no answers are provided in the Frequently Asked Questions.
Close Call: JetBlue Flight Bound For Boston Narrowly…
Boston Airport Incident Under FAA Investigation
On a recent morning, a JetBlue flight destined for Boston faced a harrowing situation at Washington Reagan National Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently looking into the details of a close call that occurred during takeoff.
At 7:41 a.m., an air traffic controller instructed the pilot of Southwest Flight 2937, headed to Orlando, to cross Runway 4. Simultaneously, JetBlue Flight 1554, bound for Logan Airport, was given clearance for takeoff on the same runway. The situation escalated quickly when the air traffic controller urgently directed both pilots to halt their movements.
The two aircraft ended up dangerously close, with only 300 feet separating them. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident. Flight data analysis revealed that the Southwest flight, a Boeing 737-Max 8, never reached the actual runway, while the JetBlue flight, an Embraer 190, managed to reach a speed of 35 miles per hour before stopping.
FAA Investigation and Industry Response
Following the incident, the JetBlue aircraft underwent thorough inspection before eventually departing for Boston several hours later. The FAA has initiated an investigation to determine how such a critical error occurred,
Campaigning In The American Steel Capital, Biden Attacks…
2024-04-18 04:49:03
Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he wanted to triple customs duties on steel and aluminum from China, a political choice aimed at the American working class whom he is trying to seduce this week by campaigning in Pennsylvania.
The Democrat accused Beijing of “cheating” in the global steel trade, harming American manufacturers and their employees, a key electorate for the November presidential election which will see him face, barring any surprises, his rival Donald Trump .
“They are xenophobic,” Joe Biden said in a speech from the headquarters of the USW in Pittsburgh, the historic US steel capital.
The Democrat lamented that Chinese steel companies “don’t have to worry about making a profit because the Chinese government subsidizes them heavily.”
“They are not competing, they are cheating. And we have seen the damage here in America,” said the man who claims to be the best ally of American workers.
“I am not looking for a confrontation with China, I want competition, but fair competition,” Joe Biden further clarified, assuring that there would be no “trade war” with Beijing.

In Tunisia, The Government Plans To Decriminalize Bad…
For almost four years, Olfa has lived cloistered at home. Sentenced in absentia to thirty-five years in prison for bad checks, this 45-year-old mother, divorced and originally from Radès, in the southern suburbs of Tunis, is still wanted by the authorities. “If I didn’t have faith, I would have committed suicide”confides this former business leader who went bankrupt following the Covid-19 crisis and is only waiting for one thing: the reform of the legislation – particularly severe in Tunisia – on bad checks, like President Kaïs Saïed promised it in March 2023.

Today, article 411 of the commercial code provides for five years in prison per rejected check – the penalties being cumulative – and a fine of 40% of the amount of these checks. This law deemed disproportionate “does not allow the creditor to recover his dues, nor the convicted person to regularize his situation since he is behind bars”had raised the Tunisian president. Official figures communicated at the end of 2022 show an alarming situation: more than 7,000 people are believed to be detained for having issued bad checks – or a third of the prison population – and more than 450,000 people are wanted.
Bee Migration Exchange Now In Vienna: Where Bees…
Homepage: Report areas online where Viennese bees find the best food
Vienna (OTS) – “The LK Vienna, together with the state of Vienna, has brought the bee migration exchange to the federal capital. The bee migration exchange is, to put it in modern terms, a dating platform where bees and flowers come together. Farmers, gardeners, winegrowers and other owners of larger flowering areas offer these areas online, and beekeepers then travel with their hives to the places displayed on the Internet. Ultimately, everyone benefits: urban agriculture is happy about high pollination rates and yields, beekeepers are happy about a lush honey harvest a little later and the Viennese are happy about the best honey from their hometown. We therefore invite all companies to enter possible bee locations on the homepage so that Vienna’s beekeepers can migrate there with their hives,” explains Vienna’s LK President Norbert Walter.
Bees ensure even more biodiversity in Vienna
“We are pleased that we as the State of Vienna, together with the Chamber of Agriculture, were able to bring the bee migration fair to Vienna. This facility not only ensures that consumers can enjoy excellent Viennese honey, but the whole thing also has an enormously positive environmental impact.
RICE PRODUCTION Fall In Local Rice Prices
Rice is produced abundantly in Imerintsiatosika.
Prices of local rice have been falling for several days. In fact, the supply of this cereal continues to expand.
The harvest is good! In Imerintsiatosika, one of the capital’s main suppliers, rice is now selling for less than a week ago. A kilo of paddy is currently selling at one thousand five hundred ariary compared to one thousand six hundred and thirty ariary last week. The same goes for the prices of local rice, which sells for two thousand three hundred and fifty ariary per kilo. The same goes for the local variety of red rice, manalalondo, which can now be bought at two thousand five hundred ariary.
At the origin of this reduction in prices is the excellent harvest that Imerintsiatosika is currently experiencing. According to the Ministry of Industrialization and Trade, which carried out a visit yesterday, it is the availability of local rice which favors this drop in prices. The choice is also vast for the consumer among the varieties of rice on sale in the markets. “We were able to see that the harvest is optimal for Imerintsiatosika. There is an abundance of rice and consumers have nothing to fear from any shortage because there are different varieties of rice from which they can choose,” assures Dina Rakotonirina,
Vietnamese Businesswoman Sentenced To Death For Fraud
Hanoi. Real estate tycoon Truong My Lan was sentenced to death Thursday by a court in Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam in the country’s biggest financial fraud case, state media Vietnam Net said.
The 67-year-old businesswoman, president of the real estate firm Van Thinh Phat, was accused of fraud worth $12.5 billion, almost 3 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022.
Between 2012 and 2022, he illegally controlled the Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB) and authorized 2,500 loans that resulted in losses of $27 million for the bank, according to the state media VnExpress. The court asked the defendant to compensate the bank with $26.9 million.
Despite some extenuating circumstances – that it was his first crime and his participation in charity work – the court justified the harsh sentence due to the seriousness of the case, stating that Lan led an organized and sophisticated criminal plot that had serious consequences without the possibility of recovering the money, pointed out VnExpress.
Their actions “not only violate the property management rights of individuals and organizations, but also bring the SCB into a situation of special state control,
Giorgio Armani Thinks About The Future: Better Independent,…
Three months before his 90th birthday, Giorgio Armani does not rule out changes for his group once he is no longer in charge: an aggregation with a competing brand or a listing on the stock exchange. «Independence from large groups could still be a value for the Group in the future – he declared –, but I don’t feel like ruling anything out».
The designer, who controls almost all of Giorgio Armani Spa, does not even close the door to a possible IPO: «The listing is something we have not yet discussed, but it is an option that could be taken into consideration, hopefully in a distant future.”
«What has always characterized the success of my work is the ability to adapt to changing times – he writes in a series of answers to questions from Bloomberg -. At the moment I do not foresee an acquisition by a large luxury conglomerate. But, as I said, I don’t want to rule anything out a priori, because that would be an “unentrepreneurial” way of acting.”
