The government’s proposal to tax online gaming at the highest rate under the goods and services tax (GST) has the sector concerned about its prospects for future expansion. It was reported that a proposal from the group of state finance ministers to collect a 28% GST on casinos, and horse racing, along with online gaming, is expected to be reviewed by the GST Council at its upcoming meeting on June 28.

Paris: Faces, bodies, status and humour are all important in Internet dating, but the biggest success factor of all could be your name. So say scientists who found that people whose online name began with a letter in the top half of the alphabet - A to M - get the most "looks" from others. "Several factors make a difference when looking for love in a digital setting," said Khalid Khan, a professor at Queen Mary University of London. "Starting with a screen name with a letter in the top half of the alphabet is surprisingly important - because several measures of success, such as educational attainment and income, are linked to names higher up the alphabet. "Add to this the fact that search engines sort names alphabetically." Khan and Sameer Chaudhry at Barts and the London School of Medicine sought objective data on how people conveyed their attractiveness on dating sites, and whether others responded to it. They trawled through 3,938 studies into online dating, published … [Read more...] about Dos and don’ts: 8 tips that can help you find a date online

A Louisiana judge on Monday temporarily blocked the state from enforcing its abortion ban that went into effect via a trigger law after pro-abortion groups filed a lawsuit earlier in the day. The lawsuit was filed against Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Hope Medical Group Services, Kathaleen Pittman, and Medical Students for Choice. Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Robin M. Giarrusso set a hearing date for July 8 for both sides to make their case. Abortion, which is the procedure of killing an unborn human, went back into effect in the state following the judge’s temporary order. Louisiana has several trigger law bans that have been passed since 2006 and took effect following the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization , which determined that abortion is not a constitutional right and sent the issue back to the state legislatures, therefor reversing the Supreme … [Read more...] about Louisiana Judge Temporarily Blocks Abortion Trigger Law After Lawsuit

Medvedev said the proposals would make significant changes to the country's balance of power and so "the government in its current form has resigned".

As the United States Supreme Court announced the overturning of Roe v. Wade , Germany voted to further liberalise its own abortion laws. Germany’s parliament has voted to further liberalise the country’s abortion laws, despite significant resistance from conservative and populist parties within the legislature. The decision coincided with a Supreme Court ruling in the U.S. which found that the country’s constitution did not actually guarantee a right to abortion, overturning the previous “Roe v. Wade” ruling that prevented individual American states from making their own local decisions on the matter. According to a report by Der Spiegel , the Bundestag voted on Friday to further relax restrictions on abortion laws across the Federal Republic. Pushed through by the country’s hard-left “traffic light” coalition government, the new measures repeal a ban on certain types of abortion advertising, something that right-leaning parties such as the Christlich Demokratische … [Read more...] about After Roe v.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 12 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Reproductive health providers on Monday asked a Florida judge to block a new 15 week abortion ban from taking effect this week, arguing that the state constitution guarantees access to the procedure. Planned Parenthood and other health centers are seeking a temporary emergency injunction to stop the law approved this year by Florida’s GOP-controlled legislature and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. It is set to go into effect Friday. Leon Circuit Judge John C. Cooper began hearing arguments in the case days after the U.S. Supreme Court ended federal protections for abortion by overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Florida’s law would prohibit abortions after 15 weeks, with exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save a mother’s life, prevent serious injury or if the fetus has a fatal … [Read more...] about Florida judge hears arguments on state’s new abortion law

The story so far: In a significant step backwards for women’s rights in the U.S., the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade judgement of 1973, which gave women in America the right to have an abortion before the foetus is viable outside the womb or before the 24-28 week mark. With the setting aside of the historic judgement on abortion in the U.S, here’s a look at the laws that govern abortion in India. How did abortion laws come about in India? In the 1960s, in the wake of a high number of induced abortions taking place, the Union government ordered the constitution of the Shantilal Shah Committee to deliberate on the legalisation of abortion in the country. In order to reduce maternal mortality owing to unsafe abortions, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act was brought into force in 1971. This law is an exception to the Indian Penal Code (IPC) provisions of 312 and 313 and sets out the rules of how and when a medical abortion can be carried out. … [Read more...] about Explained | What are India’s laws on abortions?

Judges in Louisiana and Utah on Monday temporarily blocked prohibitions on abortion in their states following last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ends a national right to the procedure. The high court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade , which for nearly 50 years had granted women the constitutional right to an abortion. More than a dozen states set so-called trigger laws which were written to take immediate effect, banning or severely limiting abortions, in the event Roe v. Wade was overturned. A Louisiana judge on Monday issued a temporary restraining order against the state from enforcing its ban on abortions, leading to the immediate resumption of the procedure. Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Robin Giarrusso granted the request of plaintiffs Hope Medical Group For Women and Medical Students for Choice.
