This week, an initiative aimed at making it easier to become Swiss cleared the 100,000 signature hurdle required to qualify for a referendum, reported RTS. Switzerland is one of the most difficult places to gain citizenship. The referendum, for which 104,603 valid signatures were collected, aims to make naturalisation easier in several ways. Currently, there is a 10-year residence requirement, the last 5 of which must have been on a C-permit. The initiative wants this cut to 5 years on any permit. It also wants to remove other requirements, such as evidence of integration and the requirement to not have received welfare in the years preceding an application for citizenship. Other requirements, such as mastering the local language and not having a criminal record, would remain but be applied less strictly. Language requirements would be lowered to a basic level and only crimes that result in long prison sentences would be considered when disqualifying someone from citizenship. Non citizens are largely excluded from voting. Some exceptions allow some to vote at a municipal level. The vote organisers point out that around a quarter of Switzerland’s population are not Swiss. Excluding such a significant part of the population from the democratic process is undemocratic. Swiss citizens on the other hand get to decide on issues that sometimes specifically affect non-Swiss residents. The initiative’s website sets out the arguments of the organisers in more detail.By Elizabeth Ayoola, NerdWallet The investing information provided on this page is for educational purposes only.

Kids are often pretty good at being consumers. If you’re a parent with a small business, you have the opportunity to show your kids firsthand what it means to be a producer. Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Nov. 30 this year, may be a great time to do just that. Small Business Saturday was established by American Express in 2010 and encourages consumers to patronize their local stores as a way to keep dollars circulating within their community. Here are three reasons you should consider getting your kids involved in Small Business Saturday, according to two mompreneurs. Ronne Brown is the owner of HERLISTIC, a plant-derived beauty and feminine care brand in Washington, D.C. She’s been participating in Small Business Saturday since she established her business in 2020. The entrepreneur gets her kids (ages 24, 18 and 12), plus her bonus daughter, 10, to help out on Small Business Saturday and beyond. Brown’s kids help with customer service, shipping and fulfillment tasks. That could include counting inventory, quality control or packaging boxes. Other times, help looks like Brown’s 12-year-old daughter keeping her up-to-date with TikTok trends and influencers in the beauty field. “I just want them to understand the price and the value of a dollar and what it actually costs to make it,” Brown says. The mompreneur also hopes her kids learn the benefits of commitment and hard work. “What I want to show them is that you have to work hard every day. And there are gonna be moments where you’re gonna be tired, you’re gonna be exhausted, and you’re not gonna want to do things, and you’re going to have to push through,” she says. Hiring your kids to do legitimate work during Small Business Saturday provides a chance for them to learn pillars needed for a strong financial foundation: earning money , saving money and investing. That said, before hiring kids, it’s critical to understand the child labor laws for your state in addition to the IRS’ rules around hiring kids. Brown says she pays all of her children, including her 24-year-old son who is on payroll. Additionally, she teaches them about investing in the stock market. “I want them to understand the importance of making money, but also investing the money that they’re making,” she says. “Because when I pay them, I always ask them, ‘so what are you gonna do to double this money?’” If you hire your minor kids, they could get a headstart on investing by putting some of their income into a custodial Roth IRA , which requires earned income to open. You could also open them a custodial brokerage account. Another perk of your kids earning income by working for you is that they may be exempt from paying federal income taxes if they earn less than the standard deduction . In 2024, that threshold is $14,600. Having your kids add helping hands, whether it be doing administrative tasks or helping customers, can ensure you keep up with a potential increase in sales. A 2024 NerdWallet holiday spending report found that 16% of 2024 holiday shoppers plan to shop on Small Business Saturday this year. Lisset Tresvant, owner of Glow Esthetics Spa in Hollywood, Florida, has been participating in Small Business Saturday since the genesis of her business in 2019. “I do tend to sell more because people are usually more inclined to purchase because of the sales, and it gives them a reason to support us,” she says. To help with the demand, Tresvant’s daughter, 12, and son, 9, fill her skincare products, add labels and help prep items for shipping. Tresvant says she decided to let her kids get involved in her business so they have a better understanding of what she does. Looking beyond Small Business Saturday, hiring your child can also help with succession planning , which is about planning for your departure from your business. Tresvant hopes to pass hers down to her kids one day. “They understand that I’m building this legacy just for not myself, but for them as well,” says Tresvant.

Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa are not available for the San Francisco 49ers when they enter Green Bay with designs on finding their finishing kick on Sunday afternoon. Purdy is out with a right shoulder injury and won't leave the sideline at Lambeau Field, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday, when he also declared Bosa out and confirmed journeyman Brandon Allen would make his 10th career start at quarterback. "Outside of here people haven't seen a lot of Brandon. But it's his second year (with the 49ers)," Shanahan said. "Obviously guys want Brock up, but guys are excited to see Brandon play." Shanahan said the 49ers are "a little surprised" Purdy experienced tightness and discomfort in his shoulder after an MRI exam on Monday that showed no long-term cause for concern. "The way it responded this week, it's really up in the air for next week," Shanahan said of Purdy's long-term prognosis. Allen's last NFL start on the road was with the Bengals at the Ravens in 2020. Allen completed 6 of 21 passes for 48 yards with two interceptions. He finished with a passer rating of 0.0 in a 38--3 loss. "It's definitely an opportunity for me to go out and play well and put our guys in a good position to win the game," Allen said Friday. "And obviously we want Brock back and healthy and all that, but for time being, it is an opportunity for me." Purdy took the practice field Thursday with the intent to participate. His shoulder tightened significantly, and the 49ers ushered him off the field to meet with trainers. Purdy beat the Packers in the NFC divisional playoffs at San Francisco in January, but Allen is familiar to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur was an assistant coach with the Rams during Allen's two-year run in Los Angeles. Allen broke into the NFL in 2016 with the Jaguars and is 2-7 in nine career starts. He went 1-2 with the Broncos in 2019 and 1-5 in six starts over two years with the Bengals in 2020 and ‘21. A victory against the visiting 49ers on Sunday would bolster the Packers' playoff chances, send a conference rival below .500 and avenge a bitter playoff defeat. Those seemingly rank in no particular order for the Packers (8-3), although they don't shy from living at least partially in the past ahead of a Week 12 showdown. San Francisco eliminated Green Bay 24-21 in the NFC divisional playoffs last season, scoring 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. "That's what you've got to sit with all offseason, is going back, watching the game, trying to see what you could have done better," Packers quarterback Jordan Love said. "What you could have done differently in that game. ... Just knowing that's the team that knocked us out, we're definitely hungry for this game." Ditto for San Francisco. The 49ers fell to 5-5 after last week's 20-17 home loss to Seattle, done in by Geno Smith's 13-yard touchdown run with 12 seconds to play. Still only a game behind NFC West-leading Arizona, the reigning conference champion 49ers are just 1-3 in division play and can ill afford to lose more ground. A visit to AFC East leader Buffalo awaits after the trip to Green Bay. While they're dealing with plenty of not-so-good news on the injury front, the 49ers do anticipate the return of other contributors. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who missed the past two games following the death of his 1-year-old daughter, practiced Wednesday. Tight end George Kittle also is eager to play after a nagging hamstring injury sidelined him against the Seahawks. "Very excited," Kittle said. "Can't pass up playing the Packers, so no, I will be out there for sure." Allen was a three-year starter at Arkansas but has been a journeyman backup since entering the NFL in 2016 as the 201st overall pick of the Jaguars. Shanahan and LaFleur have been fierce competitors since twice working together, first as low-level assistants with the Texans in 2008, then on the so-called "dream team" staff in Washington that also included Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel and Raheem Morris; and two seasons with the Falcons (2015, 2016) where LaFleur was quarterbacks coach and Shanahan called the plays. Shanahan scored the most recent win over LaFleur in January. Green Bay has won seven of the past eight regular-season meetings between the franchises. But the familiarity and shared-brain approach to offense that has the coaches completed each other's play calls has led to some tight games. The past three at Lambeau Field were all decided by three points. Green Bay, which hosts a home game on Thanksgiving next Thursday, is starting a run of three games in 12 days. They'll play back-to-back Thursday games. Their Week 14 game is at Detroit. That might make it good news for LaFleur that surprising contributors have emerged of late. Packers wideout Christian Watson had a career-best 150 receiving yards on only four catches during last week's 20-19 road win against the Chicago Bears. His diving 60-yard reception in the fourth quarter put the Packers in position for Love's go-ahead, 1-yard scoring run with 2:59 to play. Watson entered the game with eight catches for 83 yards over his previous three contests, but LaFleur assured Watson remains a "big part" of the attack. "He's a guy who's got every measurable known to man in terms of the size, the speed, and it's not like those were easy plays he was making," LaFleur said. "He was making tough, contested catches." San Francisco will aim to generate more pressure against Love than the Bears, who sacked him just once. The 49ers collected four sacks against the Seahawks, with Bosa and Leonard Floyd contributing 1.5 apiece. Recent regular-season history between the Packers and 49ers at Lambeau Field has favored Green Bay. The Packers have won seven of their past eight home games against the 49ers and are 22-11 versus San Francisco at home all-time. Green Bay leads the series 34-28-1. --Field Level Media
I'm A Celeb lets slip result as fans spot trial leak after Ant and Dec warningDM Deshpande Allegations against Adani, one of the richest and powerful business groups are not new. But one, charges this time are from the Stock Exchange Commission (SEC) of the US that has a strong reputation of bringing the guilty to book, regardless of the position or power the individual or the entity wields. And two, allegations this time are more serious. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also in the picture. Adanis are charged with bribery and corruption; that they have bribed Indian officials to bag power projects. Charges are made out on the basis of a specific act- the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, against Adani Green Energy for paying bribes of $265 million (over Rs.2,200 crore) to Indian officials to procure contracts over $2 billion. Further, they have misinformed the US authorities and kept the US investors that include international lending agencies (for raising loans worth $ 3 billion) in the dark about these alleged misdeeds. That arrest warrants too have been issued in New York this time make it both worse and serious for the Adanis. Of course, the Adani group was quick to point out, rightly so, that the US Department of Justice has itself said that the charges in the indictment are allegations; hence, Sagar Adani or others against whom there are allegations are presumed to be innocent till proven guilty. However, considering the seriousness of the charges, it is only proper that an independent probe be carried out in India by the authorities. In fact, going a step further, the investigation ought to include other major contracts concerning the Adani group. After all, at stake is not just the reputation of the premiere business group but also how India views fair play, transparency and corruption in government related deals. Just two years ago, Hindenburg, a private small time short seller firm, had revealed that the Adanis were indulging in round tripping in order to boost their companies’ stock prices. This had led to a huge crash to stocks of the group. At the lowest point the loss in market capitalization of the group was to the tune of $150 billion. Subsequently, though, after the scrutiny by the SEBI, the Supreme Court dropped its probe and the Adani group firms recouped all their losses. But in the bargain, while new investors made a killing others especially retail investors suffered. Such frequent occurrences do not augur well for one of the top corporate conglomerates in India. The Adani group is hugely focused on building massive infrastructure projects that need tapping the domestic capital markets as well as raise funds abroad from time to time. It will be difficult, at least in the short run, to mobilize capital from the U.S and international agencies. There will be a certain amount of weariness even amongst the Indian investors, both individual and institutional. The allegations are against the officials of the Adani Green and Azure Power (an Indian firm that is listed on NYSE); that in 2020 they paid Indian officials more than $250 to secure solar projects worth billions of dollars. Subsequently, in 2021 Adani Green Energy tried to raise money through bond offering in the U.S on the basis of misinformation about its anti bribery and anti corruption efforts. Following the indictment, Adani Green cancelled the $ 600 million bond issue; it was oversubscribed (over three times) three hours before the news of allegations came. But some damage has already been done. The Kenyan President has ordered the cancellation of procurement from the Adani group company for expansion of their main airport. He has also instructed the scrapping of a $700 million deal with the group to lay down transmission lines. After losing $26 billion on the first day, the Adani group has recouped most of the losses subsequently on the basis of clarifications issued by the company. The Adani group has issued clarification. Seven days later, Adani Green and other group companies are reported to have recouped all the market losses. This neither proves the guilt nor the innocence. Regardless, right thinking Indians should be concerned about the nexus between the bureaucracy and the big business undertakings. It is quite well known that politics need funding and that it is the big corporates that fund major political parties in a big way. There is no transparency in India in this regard; globally too it is a major issue. However, a solution needs to be found. A few options are being debated for long but nothing has gone far. State funding of political parties is one alternative though at best it may meet just a fraction of the huge expenditure incurred in the course of elections. It would be better if the majority of Indians contribute to funding exercise that go to strengthen the democratic practices in India. After all, in a parallel example, the business world, especially the start ups have been successful in crowd funding. A large majority of SEC cases, 98 per cent, are resolved on the basis of mutual settlements. Well, it does involve payment of huge penalties. The US Prosecutors have obtained arrest warrants against the alleged persons. In most cases, it means that some clear evidence is already collected. It is reported that the Adani group has moved for settlements. Early settlement is in the best interests of all stakeholders. Yet larger question of funding of elections remains to be addressed.
