Recuerdo una vez que tuvimos mucha nieve, crecí en Noruega, sé lo que es la nieve, y todos los demás habían dejado de entregar paquetes y todo. Pero de la nada veo este pequeño camión del correo deslizándose por la cuesta como si fuese un pequeño tobogán. Nada lo detuvo, ni lluvia, ni el granizo, ni la nieve. Siempre entregaba el correo”, dijo el residente Ole Orset. Collazos dedicó 25 años a ese trabajo. Amaba a los niños, y muchas veces le ayudaba a Santa a contestar su correspondencia, pero sobre ...

SAN DIEGO -- A bus driver work stoppage has upended MTS bus routes in the South Bay and in sections of San Diego as well. Hundreds of bus drivers from the company First Transit have stayed home while protesting the latest contract negotiations, leaving the MTS scrambling to keep riders getting to their destinations.“What am I supposed to do now? I have some really important appointments I have to make it to, what am I supposed to do?” said Laurie Johnson, a resident of Chula Vista. Rules of the Road: Are tinted windows legal in California? Mini buses and service transporters have been the main focus of the work stoppage.

King’s coronation part of long evolution for Queen Camilla

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 06:35:30 GMT

LONDON (AP) — When Camilla, Britain’s queen consort, is crowned alongside her husband next week, the moment will mark the culmination of a remarkable – and painstakingly slow – transformation over five decades of a figure once reviled as the other woman and considered a huge liability to the British monarchy. With the coronation of King Charles III days away and his first seven months on the throne under his belt, many in Britain have grown to accept Camilla, though some experts and observers say she will always walk in the shadow of her past. “Without really trying too hard, but just by giving it time and going gently, gently, she has managed to show people the real person that she is — that she’s not this villainess, and that she’s there to do the hard work,” said Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine. “But the most important thing about Camilla is the way she appears to support her husband and back him up.”Camilla, 75, was mercilessly torn apart by ...

Australia lifts minimum wage for skilled migrant workers

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia will end a decade-old freeze on the minimum wage for skilled migrant workers as part of an overhaul of what the government described Thursday as a broken migration system that fosters exploitation and favors attracting low-paid employees over filling critical skill shortages.“What has emerged is a system where it is increasingly easy for migrants to come to Australia in search of a low-paid job, but increasingly difficult for migrants with the skills that we desperately need,” said Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil. “One of the reasons there is so much exploitation in Australia is because we have allowed low-wage migration programs to operate in the shadows.”Australia has long had one of the highest rates of immigration of any country within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. But the migrant workforce that used to settle permanently has become increasingly temporary.The Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold had bee...
