It embodies the cycle of death and rebirth, where through trials and tribulations, one can find new strength, knowledge, and a fresh start, leading to spiritual transformation and the "true born again" state of a Master Mason.

*What will stay open and what will shut down?*
ReplyDeleteHere is what will happen to different *government agencies* and other services in the *US* during the *shutdown.*
*The Social Security Administration* will continue to issue disability and retirement benefits since it is funded by mandatory spending. However, it will furlough 12 percent of its staff and put all marketing campaigns on pause, according to its shutdown plan.
*Medicare and Medicaid* will also continue functioning during the shutdown, since they are also funded by mandatory spending.
*The FBI, CIA, Drug Enforcement Administration, Coast Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies* will continue to operate during the shutdown, and employees will stay on the job but will be unpaid until the shutdown comes to an end.
*The US Postal Service*, which earns its revenue from its services and is not funded by tax money, will continue operations during the shutdown. Post offices will remain open.
*The International Revenue Service (IRS)* will remain fully staffed for the first five days of the shutdown. The agency’s strategy does not detail what will happen to its staff if the shutdown lasts longer than five days. This year, the IRS lost about a quarter of its staff, many as a result of layoffs ordered by the Trump administration, and now employs approximately 75,000 people.
*More than 13,000 air traffic controllers* will continue to work during the shutdown. However, they will not get paid until the shutdown ends, according to the *Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).* There are more than 14,000 air traffic controllers in the US, according to the FAA website. Most *Transportation Security Administration (TSA)* employees will also continue working.
*Courts* could run out of funds to remain fully operational as early as Friday, *the federal judiciary* warned last week. This marks a shift from the last shutdown during Trump’s first term, when courts stayed open for five weeks.
During the shutdown, the *two million US military personnel* will remain on duty without pay until it ends, and *National Guard forces* deployed to cities by Trump will also continue working. Trump has ordered the Department of Defense to rename itself the Department of War, but this requires congressional approval.
Most *Justice Department* staff overseeing the running of immigration courts will continue working, as Trump has declared illegal migration a “national emergency”, according to a statement released by the department.
Employees who coordinate with state and local officials to order immigrant arrests will also remain on the job. *Border patrol, immigration enforcement agents and most customs officers* will stay at their posts, according to Department of Homeland Security’s shutdown strategy.
The Small Business Administration will furlough 24 percent of its staff, according to its statement.
About 4,000 *Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)* employees will be furloughed, according to the agency. However, FEMA has about $2.3bn in its Disaster Relief Fund as of September 15, to respond to a disaster such as a major hurricane.
*US Customs and Border Protection* tariff collections will continue, the Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday. It also said operations funded by US Citizenship and Immigration Services fees would continue, along with services and operations essential for the running of the agency’s exempt activities.

Gaining independence and becoming a republic are two distinct concepts in the context of a country's relationship with its former colonial power.
ReplyDeleteKey differences:
Independence: A country gains independence when it becomes self-governing and free from external control. This can happen while still recognizing a monarch from another country as its head of state.
Becoming a Republic: A country becomes a republic when it transitions to a system of government where the head of state is elected or appointed through a democratic process, rather than inheriting the position. This often involves severing ties with a monarch.
Examples:
Independence: Many countries gained independence from British colonial rule while initially remaining as Commonwealth realms, recognizing the British monarch as their head of state. Examples include Canada (1867), Australia (1901), and New Zealand (1907).
Becoming a Republic: Countries like India (1950), Pakistan (1956), and South Africa (1961) transitioned to republics after gaining independence, adopting a president or elected official as head of state instead of the British monarch.
Relationship with the British Monarchy:
Countries that gain independence can choose to remain as Commonwealth realms, recognizing the British monarch as their head of state, or they can become republics.
Becoming a republic typically means a country will no longer recognize the British monarch's authority.
Commonwealth Membership:
Both independent countries and republics can be members of the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of 56 countries, most of which are former British colonies ¹

Request for Annual Leave (December 21 - January 1)
ReplyDeleteDear Abdul Samad Bukhari,
I'm writing to bring to your attention that our company has provided annual leave to employees from December 21 to January 1 for the past several years. However, we've recently learned that these days off might be taken away.
These days are crucial for us, as they're the only extended break we get throughout the year. We plan our personal and family activities around them, and it's our only opportunity to recharge. Given our hard work and dedication throughout the year, often sacrificing other holidays, we believe these days off are well-deserved.
I kindly request that you reconsider and reinstate our annual paid leave as per the previous practice. This would significantly boost our morale and motivation to continue delivering quality work.
Please let me know if there's any further discussion required.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Muhammad Yousuf Abbasi
