My journey towards the research I am currently doing has been interesting. This spring is just one stage in my process of working towards my BPhil. In broadest terms the subject of my research is how the novels One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez 1967) and The Old Drift (Namwali Serpell 2019) think about the national community in the Global South and subvert various kinds of determinist discourses about Latin America and Africa respectively. For this I am not only reading both novels and academic writing about them, but also theories of nationalism, political discourse by Global South nationalist leaders, biographical material about and nonfiction writing by both authors, and academic texts about historical figures who appear or are alluded to in the novels. I had known I wanted to do a BPhil pretty much since I started at Pitt but what really got me excited about doing research, and what keeps me excited about it to this day, is being able to do focussed reading on the subjects that most interest me in a way that I could never do in an official class.  My research mentor is Daniel Balderston, Mellon Professor of Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Spanish department at Pitt. He has written extensively on the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (he is co-editor of the Variaciones Borges journal), his contemporaries and subsequent authors who have responded to his work. He also works on gender and sexuality studies in Latin America and in literary translation (he has translated authors such as Ricardo Piglia, Silvina Ocampo and Juan Carlos Onetti) and translation studies. I first met Professor Balderston during my freshman year because of my interest in the Spanish minor. Randall Halle, a professor in Film and Media Studies whom I know, introduced me to him as someone who could tell me more about the Spanish department. Then partly because I had met him and partly because I was interested in the course subject matter I took SPAN 1426 Literature of the Southern Cone Countries with him in the fall of my sophomore year. This is when we really began to get to know each other. After that we stayed in touch and when I did a research project for the Curiosity Grant offered by the OUR last summer I asked him to be my research mentor. We have since gotten to know each other very well. Having this connection is incredible. I am currently studying abroad in Chile and without my having asked for it Professor Balderston kindly put me in touch with some of his Chilean friends, many of them also academics. This has immeasurably increased my immersion in Chilean culture as I am becoming exposed to perspectives very different from those of my host family and university peers. It also contributes to my research as the people I am meeting are also very knowledgeable about Latin American literary traditions and have their own perspectives on subjects such as the relationship between a Latin American and a national (e.g. Chilean) identity. Best of all, it's an opportunity for me to meet wonderful and interesting people.  While Professor Balderston and I both broadly focus on Latin American literature, the authors and countries we are most interested in differ. I think this is an important point to make: in the humanities, so long as your research mentor is broadly in the same field as you, you don't need to have the same specializations as they do, it's more important that you get on well and have a good working relationship with them. Nonetheless, Professor Balderston's research and mine do share some important themes. For example, one of the things I find most intriguing about the novels I'm working on is how they write about history, not just historical events but the narratives and myths that are created about history. In a similar vein, many of the essays in Professor Balderston's book Leído primero y escrito después (read first and written after) are concerned with the different approaches writers Augusto Roa Bastos, Ricardo Piglia and Juan José Saer take when writing about history.  My current and previous research experience makes me feel qualified to give some advice to students embarking on research in literature for the first time. The first important thing to do is to find a text or texts (these can be fiction or nonfiction: novel, short story, comic book, poem, essay, etc.) you want to write about and what themes or ideas in the text(s) you find most interesting. You may not immediately find the texts you want to work with. I know people who started with a broader idea first (a genre or a motif) and found their primary texts in the earlier stage of their research. Either in the process of finding the main texts you're going to work with or after you've identified them, you should start looking for secondary sources, the majority of which will be scholarly books or articles. Some will be directly about your main text(s) but others will fulfill other functions such as providing a theoretical framework or historical context. When it comes to the former I recommend finding a single theorist whose ideas chime with yours and whom you can use to structure your academic writing. While websites like the MLA International Bibliography and JSTOR are incredibly useful, I think the best way to find secondary sources is by asking. Ask your research mentor, ask other students in your major, ask professors in other classes you are taking.  Share with them what you find interesting about the texts you want to work with, what you would like to know more about, and if you already have them what questions you have about these works that you want to answer. Talking about the first two things can help you figure out what your research question will be. I know this might seem daunting at first but overcoming your hesitations here is incredibly rewarding. Professors love to meet students who are genuinely passionate about something related to their area of research. They can suggest ways of thinking about your research topic that might never have occurred to you and as I have myself experienced, having a good relationship with a professor in your area of study can be a great way of getting to know other scholars with interests similar to yours.  While I'm not completely certain about my long term career goals, I have decided I will go on to graduate school. Whatever subject I choose (Comparative Literature and Latin American Studies are likely candidates), the research I am doing now will prepare me for the kind of research I will need to do then.  Left: Picture of me in front of the Biblioteca de Humanidades (Library of Humanities) - one of the libraries I have access to at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile where I am studying abroad.  Tobin Richter | March 31, 2022 at 3:52 pm | Tags: CURF, Spring 2022, Tobin Richter | Categories: Chancellor's Undergraduate Research Fellowship, Research Fellowship | URL: https://wp.me/pbJrj3-2qy Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from PittHonors.

[New post] President Vladimir Putin Orders The Conscription Of 134,500 Additional Soldiers

The Russian dictator signed a decree ordering the new draftees into the military as part of Russia's annual spring draft. Despite Moscow's struggles, the defence ministry argued the call up had nothing to do with the conflict in Ukraine. Putin vowed not to send young, untrained conscripts to the front lines of the war in Ukraine - but has since broken that promise The order came five weeks into Russia's invasion, which has run into fierce Ukrainian opposition that has imposed devastating casualties on Moscow's troops. As the decree was signed, Pro Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine declared they now control virtually all of the Lugansk region and more than half of the Donetsk region after Moscow made those territories its primary military goal. The foreign ministry of the self-proclaimed republic said in a Telegrampost that more than 90 per cent of the Lugansk region had been freed. The head of the Donetsk separatists said 55 to 60 per cent of the area was under Russian control. The declarations, which came after Russia said this week that it would deescalate its more attacks further west in Ukraine, couldn't be independently confirmed. Later, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that Russian squads in Ukraine were not withdrawing but regrouping. Jens Stoltenberg also said the alliance had yet to be convinced that Russia was negotiating in good faith in peace talks in Istanbul because Moscow's military objective since launching its attack on Ukraine had not altered. Speaking on Tuesday as Vladimir Putin signed the decree, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that none of the 134,500 call ups would be sent to any hot spots. The issue of conscripts' involvement in the fight was highly sensitive. On March 9, the defence ministry admitted that some had been sent to Ukraine after Vladimir Putin had renounced this on various occasions, saying only experienced soldiers and officers had been sent in. Vladimir Putin's spokesman said at the time that the president had ordered military prosecutors to examine and redress the officials responsible for disregarding his instructions to exclude conscripts. Vladimir Putin's decree said that the annual spring military draft, which runs from April 1 to July 15, will impact Russian men between the ages of 18 and 27. Shoigu said that those called up would start to be dispatched to their designated bases in late May. The fact is that 134,500 young men, probably from impoverished families, with no links to the government will be sent to their death by weakling Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin thinks that he's a real leader, but he's not sending his own family to their death. He's willing to send children of others, husbands of others, fathers of others, brothers of others to their death, but yet Vladimir Putin is not to be seen anywhere. I thought that Vladimir Putin wanted peace talks, but actually, all he wants is war because he's a real warmonger, and these draftees will be used like Russian soldiers in World War II, and this is 134,500 more unsuspecting fools Vladimir Putin has duped. Vladimir Putin doesn't give a hoot about the law, and it appears that the Russians can't do anything about it. It seems that Vladimir Putin can enlist as many people as he wants, even if they are untrained and using decades-old equipment, it doesn't make a shred of difference, and as bad as it sounds most of those people will be heading back to Russia in body bags. Who will he send in after that?

[New post] Is effective expense management software critical to business success?

Controlling business expenses is one of the biggest headaches faced by CFO's across different industries in the MENA region. Larger corporations usually have a basic expense manage" Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Uae news 4u Is effective expense management software critical to business success? by uaenews4u Is effective expense management software critical to business success? Controlling business expenses is one of the biggest headaches faced by CFO's across different industries in the MENA region. Larger corporations usually have a basic expense management software but it is very reactive, and the controls and verifications happen only after an expense is made.  This puts organizations at a risk of a drawn out and often uncoordinated expense reimbursement process. Small and medium sized businesses usually don't have any software at all. On top of that, it is almost impossible to issue employee credit/debit cards, making reconciliation even more challenging. According to Hubspot's 2019 Travel & Expense Management Trends Report, globally 43% of companies still manage expense reports manually, , leaving room for a plethora of errors.  In the MENA region, a majority of businesses still use manual CSV processes, paper receipts and handwritten notes to try to track down company expenses and payments.  There is a shocking amount of petty cash leakages, fraud, and errors with reconciliation.  Not only are companies managing the actual expenses after they happen, but they also face challenges ensuring that expenses made are within budget and that there are clear policies that are obliged by. In 2021, there was a seismic shift in the realities of the business world due to the pandemic, and financial operations have now become even more complicated with remote employees, especially for those businesses that don't have the appropriate tools to facilitate the shift.  With an easy to issue and control corporate debit card, as well as full automation in financial and budgeting processes, we at Qashio help businesses with an expense management software tailored to the regional nuances to solve these problems that business leaders face on a daily basis.  We have plans to expand our services to offer invoice management and lines of credit in the near future. Armin Moradi, Co-founder and CEO at Qashio explains why automation in expense management is the way forward for companies to control their budgets, set department-level approval processes, and view its business expenses in real-time. Eliminates error Manual processes just leave the employee and finance team bogged down by paperwork. Sifting through it ensures that there will be some mistakes as human error is inevitable. A study conducted by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) found that processing one expense report costs $58 on average and an additional $52 to correct it. On average, 19% of expense reports have errors. With the software in place, photos of the receipt are uploaded directly into the system, compiled into a report and submitted by the employee. Be proactive and set controls It's difficult to enforce expense policies if there is no system in place. Some 56% of CFOs in a recent Robert Half Management Resources survey said they have seen an increase in the number of "inappropriate reimbursement submissions" from workers over a three-year period. Qashio allows the finance team to set controls and budgets for each card and employee/department.  With software now customizable to a company's policies, it will flag those expenses that don't comply, and the team can then approve or reject the transactions in a few clicks. Virtual and Physical Cards Combined with an expense management system, a company can create & close cards, order replacements, change credit limits and more. The card allows for complete transparency of daily transactions and early fraud detection. For example, Qashio's virtual and physical cards, which are available on-demand for companies, allows finance teams to find and approve transactions easily, set custom limits for employee and vendor cards and match receipts by replying to a text. Another plus point is that companies can issue single-use cards. Prevent expense fraud Expense theft and fraudulent reports are committed by employees who submit reports manually. One survey estimated expense fraud costs U.S. businesses $2.8 billion a year. Automating the process detects duplicate entries and notifies the submitter to combine or erase the expense. These systems also improve transparency by enabling a double review process before reimbursing the expenses, thus narrowing the scope for fraud. Faster reimbursements Automation will speed up the process of approvals and reimbursements. Manual reviews are much more time-consuming, especially if there are multiple approvers involved. By opting for an expense management system, a company can customize their approval workflows and each approver will be notified to complete their part after the previous one has passed it on. Once approved, the reimbursements can be sent out quickly. Real-time monitoring and tracking Expense management systems are key to saving money. With them in place, the finance team will be able to view, analyze and make informed decisions about spending and. Companies can monitor their cash flow and track the firm's financial performance.  They can make adjustments to budget quickly without going through weeks and weeks of manual processes. Easy integration with accounting and ERP Qashio can integrate directly with any accounting system.  This superior alternative offers a better way to track expenses and to simplify your reconciliation and budgeting process. Technology has improved countless business processes and expense management is no exception. Companies are more connected, effective, and efficient than ever. In these uncertain times, flexibility, clarity, and automation are the three keys to expense management success and Qashio's corporate card and financial control software will help you take control of your business and finances in a way that has never been possible before in this region. uaenews4u | March 31, 2022 at 8:35 pm | Tags: Hubspot's 2019 Travel & Expense Management Trends Report, Qashio | Categories: Business & Investments | URL: https://wp.me/paWgwg-8KS Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Uae news 4u.

[New post] EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH BUSINESSES IN ZANZIBAR

uaenews4u posted: " EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH BUSINESSES IN ZANZIBAR [Dubai, UAE, March 30, 2022] Zanzibar is becoming one of the world's hottest investment locations, and since the Tanzanian government announced the introduction of Strategic Investment Projects," Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Uae news 4u EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH BUSINESSES IN ZANZIBAR by uaenews4u EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH BUSINESSES IN ZANZIBAR [Dubai, UAE, March 30, 2022] Zanzibar is becoming one of the world's hottest investment locations, and since the Tanzanian government announced the introduction of Strategic Investment Projects, the opportunities for foreign nationals to start, or invest in, businesses on the island has flourished. Located just off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean, the Spice Island of Zanzibar is known for its beautiful white sand beaches, spectacular sunsets, stunning landscapes and tranquil forests. For Middle East entrepreneurs looking for an exciting and lucrative business venture, there are many compelling reasons to make Zanzibar the next investment location. A key factor is Zanzibar's stability - politically, socially, and economically. Though Zanzibar is a small island economy, it forms an autonomous part of the Republic of Tanzania, enjoying relatively high economic growth over the last decade, averaging 6-7% per annum (according to the World Bank). The economy is diverse with agriculture, quarrying, mining, industry, electricity generation and services all playing a part - together with a rapidly growing tourism sector. Tourism is where the opportunity for business investment is particularly exciting and is a significant source of income for Zanzibar - being the largest source of foreign exchange. Tourism contributes about 27% of GDP and more than 80% of foreign direct investment (FDI). In 2020, Zanzibar received 528,425 tourists, generating a total of US$426 million in foreign exchange. Tourism accounted for 82.1% of Zanzibar's FDI that year. An average of 10 new hotels are being built each year at an average cost of $30 million each. Data from the Hotel Association Zanzibar (HAZ) shows the amount each tourist spends in Zanzibar has risen from an average of $80 per day in 2015 to $206 in 2020. Enticing tax breaks for business owners Another major drawcard are the tax breaks and incentives offered to investors who establish businesses within Strategic Investment Projects on this island. These include: no business licence fees for the first three months; no income tax on local earnings for the first five years (thereafter it is at only half of the local 30% tax rate); repatriation of profits after tax; 100% exemption on withholding tax on interest paid to foreign banks; 100% deduction of the depreciation rate over five years - so all equipment and assets can be written off over this period; and residency and work permits are granted to business owners/investors as well as their employees. "Up until recently, non-residents were unable to own businesses or property in Zanzibar. However, the government is working hard to attract foreign investors to the island and has introduced Strategic Investment Projects, which now allow foreign investors to invest in both businesses and/or property on the island – and gain significant tax benefits, business start-up perks, as well as residency and work permits," explains Grant Anderson, CEO of Blue Amber, a recognised Strategic Investment Project in Zanzibar. Where the opportunities lie Blue Amber is a luxury mixed-use, seaside resort development which ribbons along four kilometres of magnificent, unspoilt Indian Ocean coastline – and occupies 410 hectares of tropical landscape on the north-eastern side of Zanzibar. The development incorporates residential, hotel, tourism, community and public amenities that will include luxury villas to purchase. Featuring multiple hotels, luxury residences, and East Africa's first 18-hole signature golf course, Blue Amber will boast a mini-Stone-Town with retail space on the ground floor and 22 two-bedroom apartments above. World-class sports facilities include a football pitch, tennis courts, squash courts, beach volleyball courts, basketball courts, archery and a skateboard park. Retail amenities within the resort will include a mini supermarket, outdoor- indoor- and beachfront restaurants with rooftop bars, a gym, sports bar, health and beauty store, bike rental store, hairdressers and laundry services – to name but a few. Once completed, this stunning Strategic Investment Project will also include an impressive shoreline aqua leisure centre offering a comprehensive water sports facility. "All of these facilities and hospitality-focused businesses require owners and managers to operate them - and this is where the opportunities come in for savvy Middle Eastern investors keen to invest in, and start businesses in Zanzibar," says Anderson, adding that, for hoteliers, Blue Amber has five allocated hotel sites strategically spread over the four kilomtres of untouched coastline. "Opportunity exists for interested hotel operators to come on board with Blue Amber to jointly develop a hotel to suit their needs," adds the project CEO. Invest in property in Zanzibar Blue Amber has begun construction of its first phase of luxury pool villas and apartments, available to purchase by foreign buyers on a 99-year lease. Prices start at US$197, 125 for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with a roof-top terrace, or from US$319, 000 for a double-storey 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa. Stunning 2,3 and 4 bedroom apartments will also be available, launching soon. Property investors will also gain significant tax benefits - such as a 15% tax rate on local income earned, no tax on worldwide income, and no capital gains tax, stamp duty or inheritance tax on properties purchased. Additionally, property investors, together with their spouses and children under 20, are eligible for residence permits lasting the duration of their ownership of a property. There is no minimum time that must be spent in the country to qualify. Blue Amber is also the only strategic investment real estate development in Zanzibar with an untouched natural beach, offering views of pristine Muyuni beach and Mnemba Island. Live and work in Zanzibar tax free "There are phenomenal opportunities for those who work remotely - such as IT professionals, designers, consultants and architects, for example – to base themselves in Zanzibar while offering their services internationally. "Living and working from a luxury seaside villa on a tropical island whilst paying little to no tax is certainly a major drawcard to many," concludes Anderson.
