The Gilded Age Season 2: Everything you need to know
Railway magnate George Russell (Morgan Spector) and his socially ambitious wife, Bertha (Carrie Coon), have more cash than they know what to do with, but that’s not enough for their neighbour Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and others like her, who look down their well-bred noses at the interlopers.

They hadn’t even wanted to put out a cover three years earlier when they recorded a version of Earth, Wind & Fire’s Let’s Groove, but their record company convinced them it was the right move.
Mediation or financial penalties

Natalie Bassingthwaighte Reveals The Real Reason She Left Rogue Traders
Between 2005 and 2008, local dance act Rogue Traders were on a hot streak, with six straight top 15 hits and the radio smash In Love Again. Fronted by singer/actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte during that period, the band was seemingly unstoppable.

5 reasons there needs to be a season 2 of "The Principal"
The Principal had a lot riding on it. It was the first locally produced scripted series to air on SBS in two years – a drama drought that stretched back to 2013’s Better Man. The four-part miniseries was also the most ethnically diverse show of 2015, offering viewers an alternative to the predominantly Anglo Saxon representation of modern Australia featured in the likes of Offspring, House Husbands and Wonderland.

Portugal’s non-habitual resident regime still offers tax appeal
Home Society Opinion Portugal’s non-habitual resident regime still offers tax appeal Despite upcoming reform, Britons moving to Portugal can still enjoy 10 years of tax benefits under the special NHR scheme. Many people move to the Algarve for a lifestyle change or to enjoy some sunshine in their retirement years. But Portugal also offers much wider appeal, as new residents can receive a decade of generous tax breaks through the non-habitual residence (NHR) regime. What is non-habitual residency?
Portugal to start taxing foreign pensions under NHR
After years of international pressure, the Portuguese government is diluting the tax benefits of the highly favourable non-habitual residency (NHR) scheme. The 2020 budget, due to be confirmed by the end of March, includes a ruling to charge a 10% tax on foreign pension income under NHR from March 31, 2020. For those thinking about moving to Portugal, there may therefore be very little time to secure tax-free UK pension income under the original rules. Who will be affected by the NHR change?

I have a guinea pig named Trixie, which means she who brings happiness. I love her. I have only had my guinea pig for a couple of months, but we are good pals.

Trixie likes it when I come in the room. She knows that I am going to let her out of her cage for a while. We usually play together for about an hour.

The kids ask me about them and I tell them what they are. I have a 13 statues in all, and nine of them are religious statues. They also help me stay close to my religion.

SMITH: After our loss to Virginia Tech, we revealed the worst of our community
Losing the Commonwealth Cup for the fifteenth time in a row hit a lot of Cavalier fans hard. The amount of emotion going into the game as well as after the loss is understandable — Virginia Tech has historically been our fiercest rivals. Even sportscasters before the game had Virginia at a toss-up against Virginia Tech, signalling a recent shift under the Mendenhall #NewStandard era which otherwise would have been seen as near impossible just a few years ago.

The University recently announced that it was considering a 2 to 3.5 percent tuition increase for the next academic year.

SCOTT: Maintain the foreign language requirement
In a , Viewpoint Writer Shrey Dua argues that the current foreign language requirement is overly burdensome for students and should therefore be reformed to allow students who already have high school experience with a language to opt out.
