Totally money credit score

Universal Credit claimants in Red Wall constituencies were more likely to have cash deducted from their payments then those in the country as a whole, researchers have revealed. An analysis of official data shows that in previously-Labour seats won by the Tories in the 2019 general election , almost £12million was deducted from 168,100 people's UC claims in just one month. Two-thirds of the sum – £8m – was to repay loans taken out by people to bridge the five-week wait for new UC claims to be processed and paid. The study of figures from last August shows 47% of UC payments to people in Red Wall seats were cut, compared with a nationwide of average of 41%. The average deduction per Red Wall claimant was £71. What is your view? Have your say in the comments section In some iconic seats Boris Johnson's party seized in traditional Labour strongholds, more than one in two payments faced deductions. Some 57% of Blackpool South's 11,000 UC claimants had an average … [Read more...] about Universal Credit loans creating poverty gap in Red Wall seats as £8million deducted

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has made a AU$387 million pledge to meet Australia's commitments to co-host the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory. The SKA project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, which will eventually have over a square kilometre of collecting area. It's an international project that will consist of thousands of antennas spread across the world, with central cores of operation in South Africa and Western Australia. The SKA will eventually use thousands of dishes and up to a million low-frequency antennas that will enable astronomers to monitor the sky in unprecedented detail and survey the entire sky much faster than any system currently in existence. Morrison said the funding, to be delivered over 10 years, would "entrench Australia in this massive partnership". "It feeds into this waterfall of data that you have in so many different areas that enable you to interrogate and ensure we can crack some of the biggest … [Read more...] about Budget 2021: Square Kilometre Array scores AU$387 million

Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Thursday slammed the government’s importation policy on agricultural products which has cost the country at least P6.5 billion in foregone revenues over the past six years. “We are losing an average of P1.085 billion yearly in revenues [over] the last six years. And this is not only done for the importation of pork. The same scheme is used for the importation of seafood and chicken. There’s a pattern,” Lacson said at the resumption of the Senate probe on the government’s agricultural importation policy. Lacson said the pattern of irregularities in the importation of pork, chicken and seafood could be gleaned from inconsistencies between the government’s importation data and those of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The senator said the WTO data showed that the Philippines imported a total of 1.37 million kilos of fish or seafood from the top 15 countries from 2015 to 2020 but the Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 1.39 million kilos, or 2 percent … [Read more...] about Senators score pattern of anomalies in imports

One of the first people to inscribe art on the blockchain was Kevin McCoy, a digital artist who started playing around with the idea in 2013. “Coming from a digital art background, you saw these issues around markets, around ownership, around provenance — all the ways in which the digital way that you and your friends are working didn’t have a place inside the traditional art world,” McCoy recalls. “We raised some money — never enough — and built a set of tools that are similar to what’s happening now. We could get some traction on the artists’ side, but there was no market. People did not understand it.” Most people still do not really understand it, but with the influx of cryptocapital into the NFT art market, all eyes are now glued to the possibilities of NFT art. “This whole mainstream sweep happened sooner than we anticipated,” … [Read more...] about Dispatches From the NFT Art Boom
