New York, Dec 4 (IANS) After more than a year of intense political tangling, the US Senate has passed a bill that lifts the existing per-country cap on the number of permanent-residency permits issued to legal immigrants, potentially paving the way for Indians waiting in decades-long lines to breathe easier.

But there`s a catch. Several, actually. It`s the Senate vs House lawmakers` versioning problem.

Aparna Bhatnagar, an Indian living in Stamford, Connecticut who`s been in the “queue forever” places the developments in context. “This version has to reconcile with the previous version that the House passed. It`s still a long way to go and by that time the new ruling party will take over. Let`s wait and watch,” she told IANS.

LONDON, Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The world’s financial market infrastructure companies face risks but also opportunities to credit quality from the increasing focus of stakeholders on environmental, social, and governance factors, S&P Global Ratings said today.

“We expect social and environmental risks and opportunities will most likely emerge in the medium to long term, if at all, though what each company does in the next few years will shape them,” said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst William Edwards in the report published today, “ESG Industry Report Card: Financial Market Infrastructure Companies.”

The report also comments on the ESG risks and opportunities for all rated FMIs, from Asigna Compensacion y Liquidacion of Mexico to Visa Inc.

FMIs have a unique opportunity to use their product expertise, large pools of liquidity, and their role as standard-setters to help issuers, markets, and economies adapt to the carbon transition and climate change.

Whether it’s the holiday season or just the end of the tax year, there’s something about December that makes us want to give. In fact, around 30% of all charitable giving for the year happens during that jolliest month of the year.

iwano@_84 1 year ago

It’s about to get a lot easier to earn bitcoin thanks to a first-of-its-kind credit card: the Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card. While there are debit cards by Coinbase and Fold that offer bitcoin rewards, this is the first credit card that rewards you with the cryptocurrency, instead of points or miles.

The card will be issued by Evolve Bank & Trust, and Deserve will be a technology and program management partner for the card.

Cardholders will earn 1.5% cash back on all purchases that will automatically be converted to bitcoin and placed into a BlockFi account every month. Since bitcoin earned from card transactions is deposited into a BlockFi account, it’s regarded as standard crypto funding, and
