Career & Job Opportunities in Banking Sector by Dushyant Shrivastava
In India, Banking is considered one of the most reputed jobs, one can apply for and make a career. So let me talk about Career Opportunities in Banking Sector in today’s scenario.
In my opinion, the banking vertical in India is growing at a rapid rate and is in fact among one of the fastest in India. Banking has traditionally been one of the best options for Commerce graduates. Of late, many engineering and medical students are also showing tremendous interest in the stream. With online banking, computer science graduates can opt for banking jobs, too. Why? Of course, the reason is lack of opportunities in their respective sector, easier home postings, lucrative salary package, huge number of vacancies, lack of competition, etc.
I’ll take time to discuss my experience in Banking Sector, too. Coming from a technical background, I’ve done BE in Electronics and Telecom. I have worked in reputed companies like Amazon and Google. But later turned to Banking Vertical despite being a complete novice in this sector. Banking presented me with a chance to work in my home state, and at a good package.
Career in Banking Sector
Let me take you back a bit. In India, banking recruitment was at a peak in the early 80’s but went through a stagnation period till early 2000’s. That’s when the recruitment again took off. IBPS paved a way for common entrance examination to all govt owned banks (except SBI), and presented a huge opportunities to aspiring candidates. However, I do think that the candidates, who made a career in banking sector early, were lucky. The entrance examinations are becoming tougher and tougher by the year. Each examination is lot difficult to crack than the previous one.
If you are looking to crack the IBPS or other banking entrance examinations, I suggest you better start working hard ASAP. The more you wait, the more tough it’ll become for you to make Banking your career path. Career opportunities in Banking is good provided you make some strategies to crack the bank examinations. Off late, I’m observing that banking entrance examinations are becoming more of a time management, than a test of knowledge. So, prepare well. And if you ask me, time it well too.

a) Recruitment in clerical Cadre. The minimum age group for entry into clerical cadre is 18 years. Maximum age is 28 years or above as decided by the individual banks. Educational qualification of 60% marks in 12th.
b) Recruitment in Officer Cadre. The minimum age group for entry into officer cadre is 21 years. Maximum age is 30 years or above as decided by the individual banks. Educational qualification of 55% marks is required in any graduate program from a UGC recognized university. Career in banking sector after graduation is actually a viable option for candidates of any stream.
You may opt either for Bank PO or clerk as a career in banking after graduation. However, you may only opt for clerical career in banking after 12th. After 12th, candidates from any stream, science, commerce, biology, arts, etc may apply for banking. Commerce graduates/students, obviously have an upper hand when it comes to banking jargon and understanding. But, the qualifying test includes arithmetic, logical reasoning, general awareness (with special reference to banking), and English. This provides an equal platform for IBPS and SBI Bank Exams battle to graduates/12th passout from any stream. Moreover, the exams for maths, reasoning, and English are usually middle school level.
Career Promotion Ladder for Officers in Banking Sector
- Officer : Scale I
- Manager : Scale II
- Senior Manager : Scale III
- Chief Manager : Scale IV
- Assistant General Manager : Scale V
- Deputy General Manager : Scale VI
- General Manager : Scale VII
Recruitment in higher scales
While IBPS has opened gates to the Officer Scale-I cadre and clerical cadre, career in banking sector is not limited to just junior management levels. Vacancies in middle level and senior level management are posted from time to time. The eligibility, however, depends from bank to bank, and includes minimum experience, age bar, and qualifications among other things. Some vacancies require professional qualification like CA, MBA, etc. So, holding a professional degree will get you places in making a career in banking sector.
Perks of making a career in Banking Sector
- Comparatively secure Job
- Provision of Home Posting (Home State)
- Industry Standard salary
- Special Concessional Staff Rate for Loans
- NPS Provision for new employees, and Pension for Older Ones
- Annual Medical Compensation
- Staff Quarters/Additional Lease Compensation
- Holiday Homes and Annual Leave Fare Concession
- Reservation of School Seats

Alternative to IBPS via Manipal Course
If you are unable to clear IBPS or related banking examination, you may look into professional Manipal Courses.
Alternative to IBPS via IFBI Career Programs
While I’d never have thought about making a career through IFBI programs, the fact of the matter is, it also provides for a way to enter the banking sector. On a flipside, you’ll have to spend a few dimes to enroll for the course. IFBI offers a good course cum placement service. Few of my colleagues back from college did the NIIT course, and are actually well placed in ICICI Bank. Those who don’t know about this course, I’d like to tell you that it’s a joint venture of NIIT and ICICI Bank. IFBI stand for Institute of Finance, Banking, & Insurance. With courses spanning Post Graduate Diploma in Banking Operations, Advanced Program in Trade Finance & Foreign Exchange, Branch Management Proficiency Program, Credit Management & SME Banking, etc, it’s one of the most complete course you can opt for.
A Fair Warning Before making a career in Banking sector
A word of caution before entering the coveted banking sector! After my three years of experience in Punjab National Bank (clerical), Regional Rural Bank (Loan Officer), and IDBI (Asst. Manager), I can say for sure that Banking Job in not for you if you just want a comfortable Job. Banking is one of the most stressed out jobs out there. Nearly impossible targets, constant vigilance while operations, stretched out office hours, accountability, peer/political pressure, etc. If you want to choose Banking Career, do come in with the right mindset for the job. Recently, with social benefit schemes and other activities (demonetization, etc), banking has become one of the most hectic jobs.[/color-box]
However, the perks of a Banking Job far outweighs the cons. If you are really keen about cracking IBPS and other related examinations, better start your preparation now. Banking opportunities will shorten year by year, and the sooner you crack the exam, the better.
If you have any queries, questions, or just want to share your experience, we are all ears! Just let us know in the comments sections. Or, if you have made a career in banking sector already, feel free to share your advice.
Have a great day ahead. Good Day from Team Bankers Ambition.

A Harley-Davidson JS ridden by Dean Bordigioni, a JE ridden by Mike Carson and J ridden by Scott Jacobs took fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.
The rules of play for the Cannonball Run are fairly straightforward: The machine must have been built before 1937 and be largely based on the factory original. Modifications are allowed to carbs, for instance, but the basic carb has to be an original.
Riders are also encouraged to upgrade their brakes, since stopping was not a high priority for some of those early machines. Anything that adds to the safety of the ride is considered a good thing.
Rider and machine have to reach pre-determined checkpoints along the route. Those checkpoints are located at dealerships and museums and other venues of interest to motorcycling types.
And while there’s generally food and grog and activities for participants, many of them pass those rest-stop hours upside down with tools and grease in the garage prepping their machines for the next day’s run.
There’s an unfortunate side-note to this year’s Cannonball Run: a trailer of parts and four vintage bikes was stolen from a Tacoma hotel parking lot after the race ended. The trailer and machines were recovered, though some parts and motors are still missing. The dickwicks who did the stealing are still free.

Replicated association of the single nucleotide polymorphism in EDG1 with marbling in three general populations of Japanese Black beef cattle
1 Research and Development Center, Nippon Meat Packers, Inc, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 300-2646, Japan
2 Laboratory of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan
3 Kyoto Cattle Genetics Section, Beef Information & Genetics Institute, Inc, Otsu, Shiga 520-0865, Japan
BMC Research Notes 2010, 3:66 doi:10.1186/1756-0500-3-66Published: 11 March 2010
Marbling, defined by the amount and the distribution of intramuscular fat and measured as beef marbling score (BMS), is an economically important trait of beef cattle in Japan. We recently reported that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), namely, c.-312A>G, in the endothelial differentiation, sphingolipid G-protein-coupled receptor, 1 (EDG1) gene was associated with the BMS level in the Japanese Black beef cattle population of Oita prefecture, with the G allele being associated with a high level of the BMS. Thus, the c.-312A>G SNP seems to be a candidate marker for marker-assisted selection. In this study, we investigated whether this association could be replicated in 3 other independent Japanese Black cattle populations and analyzed the effect of the SNP genotypes on the carcass traits other than the BMS.
Statistically significant differences in the BMS level were detected among the genotypes of the c.-312A>G SNP in the Japanese black beef cattle populations of Miyazaki (P = 0.0377) and Nagasaki (P = 0.0012) prefectures, and marginal difference was detected in the Kagoshima prefecture population (P = 0.0786). The G allele in the SNP was associated with an increase in the BMS level.
The G allele also seemed to have a favorable influence, if any, on the carcass weight, rib eye area and rib thickness of the cattle populations.
These findings suggest that the association of the c.-312A>G SNP with the BMS level in the Japanese Black beef cattle population was replicated in other beef cattle populations, and revealed favorable effects of the G allele on the beef productivity in the general Japanese Black beef cattle population. Thus, we concluded that the c.-312A>G SNP is useful for effective marker-assisted selection to increase the BMS level in Japanese Black beef cattle.

Xi Jinping sauteed sweet corn with salted egg yolk, which is a black corn and a soybean town. The northeast is the three largest black soil area in the world. It is also a problem of land fertility and overdraft. Jilin is a golden corn belt and soybean town. We must take effective measures to protect the black soil, the giant panda in the cultivated land.
In the face of the severe situation of black land degradation, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Liaoning Province and other places have launched a defense war of black land, popularized agricultural science and technology, issued protection regulations, and built high standard farmland Through a series of targeted measures, we will add oil to the black soil and consolidate the foundation of the granary of a great country.
Start a defense war: protect giant panda in cultivated land
Keep the black soil without worrying about food. In Jilin, the hometown of black land, the area of black soil accounts for more than 65% of the total cultivated land, giving birth to the famous golden corn belt and golden rice belt. These days, Liu Chen, head of Yushu Chenhui planting professional cooperative association, is busy with field management. His familys corn field can yield 25000 Jin per hectare. Although he had confidence in high yield, Liu Chen was also worried. He said that the black soil layer has become thinner, and some plots are only 20-30cm thick.
It is imperative to defend the black land!
Since 2005, the relevant national departments have issued a number of measures to focus on the protection and rational development and utilization of black land resources. In 2017, the former Ministry of agriculture, the national development and Reform Commission and other six departments formulated a policy document, which required that the black land degradation be effectively curbed through restoration and governance and supporting facilities construction
As a pioneer area of black land protection, Lishu County of Jilin Province has carried out straw mulch no tillage sowing technology test since 2007, and has integrated 20 million yuan of funds each year for research, development, training and promotion of black land protection. In 2015, Lishu County established the first academician work station of black land protection and utilization in China.
The whole northeast is in action. In Heilongjiang Province, deep loosening and land preparation, fallow rotation and other measures were implemented in many places; in Liaoning Province, a series of measures such as high standard farmland, soil testing and fertilization were carried out orderly. More and more farmers in Northeast China are choosing straw deep ploughing, rice soybean rotation and increasing organic fertilizer application.
Win the battle of hard work: fight against the degeneration of black soil
After years of predatory farming, farmers have developed the farming habit of heavy chemical fertilizers and pesticides; the new method of black land protection that works in one place may be acclimatized in another; the decentralized and household agricultural management mode is still very common In the face of these challenges, how to win the tough battle of black land protection?
In recent years, the local government and scientific research workers have made concerted efforts to match the nutritious meal for the black land, to refuel the black land and let the black land rest.
In Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province, the hometown of Chinas corn, Gongzhuling Dele Agricultural Development Association explored a new mode of combining planting and breeding, that is, mixing cow manure with corn straw, then adding composting agent to compost and ferment into organic fertilizer. He Yu, chief of soil and fertilizer section of Gongzhuling Agricultural Technology Extension Station, introduced that this is equivalent to nutrition meal for black soil. After three or four years of adherence, the local black soil cultivation layer has gradually become thicker, which has exceeded 30cm. The organic matter content has increased by 3% and the yield has also increased by 5%.
For many old farmers, its hard to imagine that a satellite flying in nine days can become a guardian of the black land. This is a large area with a small elevation difference, so it can be planted in close planting, but pay attention to the depth of soil cultivation. In yungeng agricultural open office space in Jilin Province, engineers analyze sowing information by satellite remote sensing images on the screen.
The precise images taken by jilin-1 satellite are combined with soil and fertilizer measurement on the spot to provide a prescription for black soil farming. Today, this technology has been blooming in many parts of the province. It is said that it is the satellite that has opened the eye to the protection of black land.
The formation of the black land needs to accumulate over time, and the protection of the black land is not an overnight success. The defense war is destined to be a protracted war.
Walking into the farmland of Guijia village, Huancheng Township, Yushu City, more than 4000 mu of corn from the agricultural machinery planting professional cooperative has begun to ear. Ma possessor, head of the cooperative, said that after years of conservation farming, corn production has become more and more stable.
Fortunately, with the continuous promotion of new technology, farmers farming concept is changing. Nowadays, many large grain growers have begun to try conservation farming. After straw returning to the field, conservation tillage improved soil moisture conservation capacity and seedling emergence rate. Said Liu Guoquan, a farmer in Xiushui village, Shuangliao City, Jilin Province. After several years of promotion, more than 90% of the corn fields in Xiushui village have been under conservation tillage, with an average yield increase of about 50 kg per mu.
On the vast black land, many scientific research workers scatter their youth on the fields and strive to race against the degradation of black soil. Wu Chunsheng, a professor of Jilin Agricultural University, has been stationed in the west of Jilin Province for 19 years. He has experimented and popularized the integration of water and fertilizer and straw returning to the field. In the past ten years, China Agricultural University has set up experimental stations in many places in Northeast China. Every year, hundreds of scientific researchers take root in rural areas to study the no tillage cultivation technology system of corn straw mulching.
An effective practice of protecting giant panda in cultivated land is taking root and sprouting in the black soil, which is more and more sufficient to stabilize the granary of a big country and hold the Chinese rice bowl firmly.

„SpaceFlexx“ tidies up pull-outs
A new way of storing food containers of different shapes and sizes in pull-outs, saving space and providing clarity, is now making its debut. „SpaceFlexx“ works with a flexible, elastic material, making optimal use of the storage space. Time-consuming searching, shaking and tipping over belong to the past. Kesseböhmer is presenting the innovation for the first time at SICAM 2019 in the Italian city of Pordenone.
The organising principle is so simple and ingenious: A framework of chrome-plated metal struts and plastic components connects five innovative horizontal dividers that can be moved along the struts. This innovation made of high-tech textile webbing “made in Germany” is called „nesttex“ and heralds undreamt-of possibilities.

I've always been a huge Kurt Angle fan. He's my second favourite wrestler behind (of course) The Rock. It's hard to believe that's it's almost been ten years since he made his professional debut.
Angle is starring a new film called End Game. Judging by the trailer, it looks bad; really, really bad.
Angle has won numerous medals and titles. But there will be no Oscar to add to his accomplishments. Maybe a Razzie if he's lucky.
Kurt, what were you thinking?

Ok. I’ll be honest. I don’t like Olympic wrestling. I used to enjoy watching the exploits of WWE superstars such as The Rock and The Undertaker but amateur wrestling has always left me confused. Nothing much seems to be happening and then it’s all over. The bottom line is like many people I don’t appreciate the subtleties or indeed the rules. Makes it all seem a confusing bunch of nothing. However, to those who love the sport as either competitors or spectators it is clearly far from nothing.
Hence the expected uproar when it was announced that wrestling was to be dropped as an Olympic sport from 2020. Whether you actually like wrestling or not doesn’t seem to me to be the point. At times you should stick with tradition. In Olympic terms there isn’t a sport as traditional as wrestling. Wrestling, which combines freestyle and Greco-Roman events, was included in the inaugural modern Olympics in Athens in 1896. It has been in every Games since, apart from Paris in 1900. For me it is an almost uniquely Olympic event. One of those things that people often only watch once every four years.
Perhaps wrestling just isn’t sexy enough. Perhaps it doesn’t sell enough advertising space. What it does do though is retain the real spirit of the Olympic movement. It is the sort of sport which you could actually imagine taking place in ancient Greece and the Roman empire. It is a sport which has transcended generations and one which embodies what Olympic competition is all about. Reading various comment pieces on the web one sentiment is commonly voiced. The best quote I could find to sum up the general feeling comes from a wrestling coach in the USA:
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
Any wrestler, former or current, lives by this creed. Wrestling teaches the participants there is nothing greater than the battle itself. Wrestling is as much a battle of one’s own mind and thoughts, as it is a battle against your opponent.”
Whether you like the sport or not. To me it doesn’t matter. Sometimes things should just be left as they are. To help save Olympic wrestling please visit, read and if you feel so inclined then sign the following petition:
Sky Sports presenters are like children on Christmas morning. If they get any more excited it’s possible they would actually burst. Not sure if there is actually any recorded cases of over excitement leading to bursting but we could be about to have one. The prospect of Manchester City loaning an 18 year youth player to Oldham or Stoke City signing a fourth choice goalkeeper is all to much for them. Love it or hate the Transfer Deadline Day does make for good and at times desperate television.
Around the grounds we go. Hour after hour of freezing cold reporters surrounded by local urchins hoping to catch a glimpse of their new signing. Scratch that. Hoping to get themselves on television. The sad reality of this twice yearly charade tends to be a lot of uninteresting moves by players most clubs are glad to get rid of. As ever the only club really spending money and attempting to grab headlines, as well as players, is the one managed by Harry Redknapp. The media friendly old rogue is currently employed by Queens Park Rangers where their owner can expect his wallet to be considerably lighter by the time ‘Arry has finished with it.
Up here in Scotland Deadline Day passes without much frenzy. With Rangers not only currently languishing in Division Three but also the subject of a transfer embargo, only their rivals Celtic are of any interest to the media. Even that interest is not what it was witnessed by the lack of people hanging around outside Celtic Park. All quiet on the eastern front. East End of Glasgow that is.
In the old days there was no transfer window. Teams could sign players as and when they liked. Not totally clear why they still can’t. Think I preferred it that way. Sky Sports and the assembled throng of the UK media clearly prefer the monster they have created in Deadline Day. It has is moments but not enough to justify the hype.
Ok, ok. Apologies for the corny title but the fact is it sums things up nicely. The Serb won his fourth Australian Open this morning with a four set win over our very own Andy Murray (ps for those new to my blog I am Scottish as is Mr Murray !). This made is seven grand slam titles for the 25 year old from Belgrade, three in a row in Melbourne. Novak clearly enjoys the Australian courts and surroundings. I’m sure this year he will be out to further establish his position at the top of the men’s game by winning one of the non-Oz majors over the coming months.
Time Out – “Major”or “Grand Slam”. Some say one some say the other. Now seems in vogue to call what used to always be referred to as Slams as Majors. The GS term is now kept on ice by many to describe the feat of winning all four majors in one season. End of time out.
As for Andy. Have to say another fantastic achievement to reach the final of a major.Yes, he’s lost all but one, although each defeat has been to either Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic. For Andy to have actually managed to win one of his finals was a monumental achievement no matter what else he does in his career. In such an incredibly tough era for men’s tennis to have won 25 titles including 8 Masters 1000, Olympic Gold plus of course his major at Flushing Meadows is a truly superb feat by the Brit. He has nothing to redress himself for after today’s defeat.
Last word for Novak. Have to say if Andy wasn’t around the Serb would probably be my favourite player. Fantastic athlete, tremendous sport and above all a sublime tennis player. Well done Nole. A true champion.

Esmetex, a fabric and full-package apparel manufacturer, has introduced Frontier, an online platform designed to digitize the fabric supply chain, from creative fabric development and 3-D garment design to the inspection process.
The Taiwan-based company said the Frontier digital platform can cut the creative development cycle by more than two weeks by efficiently gathering and organizing information from the supply chain. The Frontier platform is one of the largest databases of searchable online fabrics in the world, containing more than 18,000 fabrics from Esmetex’s own mill and the 25 mills under their management.
Prior to this roll out, Esmetex only used the database internally. With this introduction, the company plans to work with brands and retailers to add their fabrics from additional mill partners, creating an integrated solution where all customers’ vendor fabric collections and libraries are available in one place digitally.
“We don’t intend to be disruptive, instead we want to be part of a gentle revolution that advances the whole industry,” Victor Chao, founder of Esmetex and Esmetex Frontier, said. “We aim to simplify the fabric development process–no more looking through swatch boxes and shipping swatches back and forth.
It isn’t practical for a designer to search through 18,000 fabric swatches, Chao said. With Frontier, they are able to search based on specific criteria and find all relevant fabric information on one page.
“This can be done on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone by accessing our website or by installing our app,” he said.
Fabric designers and developers can use the platform to image search, find similar items via AI or search by description, blend, color, end use, Pantone color number, pattern or weight, Esmetex explained. After finding the desirable fabric, sample yardage can then be ordered directly from the platform through a mobile device.
Another advantage of the system, according to the company, is that by using fabrics that already exist rather than manufacturing unnecessary yardage, it helps save resources and reduce use of process chemicals.
The Frontier inspection app allows a company’s quality control to capture, record and share an inspection report in the field. The data is compiled into a scorecard and can aid companies in use of better and fewer factories.
“The digital textile industry is new and growing,” Chao said. “Previously, only occupied by PLM software companies, now more players are emerging, such as 3-D design tools, digital materials, 3-D file convert technology and quality compliance platforms. Now it’s easier to find an end to end solution.”

IV. Impediments to Reform
The biggest impediments to prison-based gerrymandering reform are policy inertia and basic misunderstandings about the mechanics of the criminal justice system and how federal and state funding formulas operate.
In a nutshell, the Census Bureau counts people in prison as residents of the prison location because that is where they have always been counted. Thankfully, Census Bureau policies are not fixed in stone, and as the country, its population, and its needs have evolved, so too has Census Bureau methodology. The problem of the Census Bureau's prison miscount and the prison-based gerrymandering that results is a problem new to the era of mass incarceration, and the Bureau's methodology needs to catch up with modern America in this regard.
Former Census Bureau Director Kenneth Prewitt neatly summarized the problem with the outdated methodology: Current census residency rules ignore the reality of prison life. Incarcerated people have virtually no contact with the community surrounding the prison. Upon release the vast majority return to the community in which they lived prior to incarceration.
The prison reality that Director Prewitt spoke of is the fact that, while the prison buildings themselves may exude permanence, the people inside are in fact quite transient. Indeed, in New York state, for example, for those incarcerated on January 1, 2008, the median length of stay for people at their current prison was only 7.1 months.
In no practical sense are people in prison residents of the prison location, and the one common context where states have contemplated the question--voting--they have concluded that a prison cell is not a legal residence. Most states have explicit constitutional provisions or statutes that declare that a prison cell is not a residence. As discussed above, people in prison are generally barred from voting, and in the rare cases where people in prison can vote, they must always vote absentee at home, not in the district in which the prison is contained.
As mentioned, another impediment to reform is often an unsupported fear of negative changes to federal or state funding. Our research has found that both sides of the debate often rely on an oversimplification of how Census data is used to distribute funds and therefore overstate the impact of prison counts on funding formulas. In general, prison populations have very little impact on the distribution of federal and state funds, and the state and municipal solutions discussed in this article would have no impact whatsoever because there are no formulas tied to redistricting data.
The confusion about funding arises in part because the Census Bureau encourages participation in the Census by appealing to the important use of Census data in funding formulas. This leads to a misunderstanding about how the population data is actually used. Most large federal and state funding formulas, particularly those targeted to individual municipalities or school districts, do not use total population for their population component. Instead, they use more targeted factors, like people in poverty (which does not include people in prison or other people not in households), the number of school-age children, or non-Census data like the number of children enrolled in school. As a result, the impact of prison populations on funding formulas tends to be quite small.
Furthermore, each funding formula is a complicated effort to match the program's resources with the need being addressed. Each formula has its own specific data sources and methodology, none of which rely on state or local redistricting data. Thus, any changes to the redistricting data, be it for state redistricting or municipal redistricting, will have no effect whatsoever.
This logical conclusion is confirmed by the experience of the more than 100 rural counties and cities that removed the prison populations when redistricting after the 2000 Census to no ill financial effect.
Not only is there nothing to lose in ending prison-based gerrymandering, but everyone who does not live immediately adjacent to the state's largest prison complex benefits in at least one way if the practice is ended. At the state level, everyone living outside the state legislative district with the largest prison benefits; and the majority of the people living within that state district benefit at the local level from fairer county and municipal redistricting. The successful reform efforts to date have all been structured to maintain a broad coalition of all the interest groups that would benefit from reform.
In New York, where a bill to end prison-based gerrymandering ultimately passed on a narrow partisan vote, a Quinnipiac University poll shows it was supported by the majority of the state, urban and rural, Democrat and Republican, and the bill received editorial support from urban and rural upstate papers. Once the laws passed, rural supporters fought to keep them in place, resisting pushback from New York legislators responsible for drawing the new district lines. When a lawsuit was filed in New York challenging the new law, residents from every area of the state intervened to defend the law.
In Delaware, a bipartisan reform bill passed unanimously in the House. In Maryland, too, the legislation passed with bipartisan, urban and rural support. One White Republican state senator spoke from the floor about why he was voting for the bill, and both lead sponsors had massive prisons in their districts. As Delegate Joseline Peña-Melnyk explained, It doesn't matter, . . . . To me, it is just a fair way to count. Senator Catherine Pugh agreed, It was the right thing to do.

One of the big changes in Windows 10 is that the OS no longer has built-in support for floppy drives. I first told you about this more than a year ago. A reader who recently upgraded to 10 found that out the hard way: “My Windows 10 operating system on my laptop won’t recognize my external 3.5″ Floppy Disc drive connected thru a USB port. The driver says it is up to date. The “A-Drive” appears for a split second on the Control Panel when I plug the FDD into the USB but immediately goes away.”
There’s no built-in support for floppy drives in Windows. You’ll need to go to the manufacturer’s website and download the Windows 10 drivers. You may have the latest updates available for the device, but it’s possible the manufacturer doesn’t have Windows 10 drivers available yet.
Or you can try this: type “Find and Fix Problems” in your search box and click on the results. Then select Hardware & Sound.
Then choose Hardware & Devices and follow the instructions of the wizard that opens.
Keep in mind that it can only help if your device’s maker has updated drivers available for Windows 10.

Cyborg is going to appear in ‘The Flash’ movie. Could be Dope!
Get it? I’m just calling everything about The Flash movie Dope, because it’s got the same director and actress. So shitty puns, man. Shitty puns straight everywhere. Seriously though. Cyborg is in the movie. Cool? Not cool? I don’t know, but I remain optimistic about the film.
According to Variety, the capacity of Cyborg in the film is unknown, so it’s possible the appearance could only be a cameo.
Fisher’s Cyborg first appeared in a small portion of “Batman v Superman” that signalled presence of other meta-humans on Earth, and the eventual formation of the Justice League. The character is set to star in his own film, currently slated for 2020. Miller’s Flash, who also showed up in “Batman v Superman,” appeared very briefly in a cameo opposite Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang in “Suicide Squad.”
Directed by “Dope” helmer Rick Famuyiwa, “The Flash” races into theaters on March 16, 2018.

Fox & Friends downplays Democrat Doug Jones' victory in Alabama Senate election: "It is not that much of a win"
Ainsley Earhardt claims sexual misconduct allegations made the election “a referendum on Harvey Weinstein, not on President Trump"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the December 13 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
Loading the player reg...
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): But also this was, you know, with all of these sexual allegation -- allegations against Roy Moore, a lot of women that were going to the polls, you said yesterday, people were holding their nose as they go to the polls. It's really hard, as a female, to go to the polls and vote for someone, even though those allegations were so long ago, even though they are just allegations. After Harvey Weinstein, it's just hard. I think this is a referendum on Harvey Weinstein, not on President Trump.
TODD PIRO (CO-HOST): And even that said, it is not that much of a win. Less than two points, as it stands now.


Call me eclectic when it comes to storytelling. No matter the genre, if it’s done well, I’m interested. That leads me to high-quality entertainment in some unexpected places. For instance, one of my current televised pleasures can be found on a most unlikely platform for me: the Lifetime cable network. Lifetime is widely thought of as the province of that oft-screeching beast reality TV, the TV docudrama torn from tabloid headlines, and a parade of formulaic TV movies, generally exploitive or corny and aimed at a female demographic. But the hour-long comedy series American Princess, which debuted on Lifetime in early June and will run for a total of 10 weekly episodes, is none of the above.
American Princess tracks the truly funny, sometimes raunchy, and occasionally bittersweet odyssey of Amanda Klein, a young, well-to-do Jewish social butterfly from New York’s Upper East Side. Played with just the right postcollegiate intellect, snark, vulnerability, and whine by Georgia Flood, Amanda is purportedly pursuing a career as an online fashion maven/tastemaker. All of that will be rendered more superfluous than it already is, though, because she’s about to be married to a seemingly perfect guy at a dream wedding in the countryside. On the day of the nuptials, the bride-to-be accidentally discovers her groom getting premarital oral satisfaction from a random lingerie-clad woman, and that sends Amanda off the rails — or more specifically, on a tear-blurred run to anywhere else via a tricycle-rickshaw meant for the coupling ceremony.
Hearing music in the distance, Amanda leaves her wheels behind and wanders into a Renaissance fair, thinking it’s another fancy country wedding with a medieval theme. She becomes increasingly drunk on fairground libations and, to her shock, is welcomed and embraced by various actors and “Ren-nerds” working there. Determined not to accede to knee-jerk entreaties from her spoiled socialite clique and her self-centered mother to forgive her errant betrothed, Amanda decides to get a job at the fair where she might find her better self, true acceptance, and perhaps even romance. Of course, there has to be conflict, even in a place that traffics in immersive, joyful, anachronistic fantasy.
QUEEN VERSUS PRINCESS
The company is ruled by Maggie (Seana Kofoed), an aging, arrogant actress who plays Queen Elizabeth at the fair. Her astringent personality is likely a consequence of dashed dreams of stardom. In any event, Maggie immediately takes a disliking to Amanda, despite the latter’s often hapless attempts to learn fair protocol and endear herself to Her Royal Smugness. Furthermore, the road to true-ish romance in the aftermath of Amanda’s broken engagement won’t be simple in a free-spirited place like the fair, where the handsome actor (Lucas Neff) who catches her attention — and vice versa — is dallying with a lissome fellow fair performer.
Few of the American Princess cast members are that well known, but all of them are on point and deliver the show’s sharp, sometimes salty dialog with 21st century verisimilitude and 16th century propriety or low-born glee, depending on the circumstance. They seem to be having a blast, which can be downright infectious to anyone watching. Flood is particularly appealing and affection-worthy as Amanda, a role that could have been off-putting in the wrong hands. If we aren’t invested in her journey, the show might not work as well.
Created by comic actress Jamie Denbo, coproduced by Jenji Kohan (Orange Is the New Black), and graced by the wild, fearless, unflinching comedy sensibilities of writers Julia Wolov and Dana Min Goodman (Faking It, Good Vibes), American Princess has a pedigree that seems very un-Lifetime-like. As noted, narrative gold is where you find it, and this series is shaping up to be a treasure fit for royalty and commoner alike.
Major props to Netflix for saving Lucifer, the slyly witty mix of supernatural, buddy-cop, and rom-com elements that was brought back in May for a fourth series to the delight of multitudinous fans after it had been canceled by Fox. This new 10-episode run was so well received that the streaming service opted to order a fifth and final series to wrap up the escapades of the charming Devil played by suave Tom Ellis.
Netflix also leapt into action when ABC dropped Designated Survivor, offering the political thriller a third season released last month. It continues to follow the progress of Tom Kirkman, the cabinet member who becomes U.S. president when a catastrophe kills everyone ahead of him in the line of succession. Kiefer Sutherland’s Kirkman gives us a president who is diligent, humane, scholarly, and eloquent, and puts the needs of the country and all of its citizens ahead of his own. Clearly, it’s fiction, although it reminds us of a time when basic decency was expected from the nation’s chief executive.

I have recently been invited to join Bloom, an organisation that champions women’s voices in the advertising and marketing industry, educating businesses on equal opportunities, unconscious bias and allyship, as well as providing women in all stages of their careers and lives with guidance and support in a transparent and inclusive way. I hope to use their platform and my own experiences to further understand and help progress equality for women in the workplace going forward. Just like any other industry, there still exists ingrained bias, stereotypes, and pre-conceived gender dynamics within the corporate space that have long needed addressing.
When faced with any challenge, the first step to a resolution comes from first identifying just what the current barriers are for women and understanding why these obstacles exist in the first place. At that point, we can then provide a list of creative solutions. It’s all about being transparent, open, and honest about the current challenges women are facing, regardless of how difficult they may be.
The statistics for course enrolment by gender detail a stubborn and unchanging landscape. 2021 enrolment figures for UK universities highlight a stark difference between male and female course enrollments.
At the moment, women tend to gravitate towards language, art, or service-based courses. On the other hand, men look to ‘skilled’ courses that usually lead to more economically fruitful careers like Maths, Computer Science, and Engineering. In engineering alone, there were over 95,000 more male applicants than females.
At a surface level, this dynamic could be explained simply as separate genders naturally gravitating toward certain subjects and sequential careers. However, this fails to take into account the lack of opportunities, ingrained stereotypes, and minimal female role models that can make particular industries more male-exclusive than others.
Pursuing a career in language, art, or service-based courses, they are still facing an uphill battle against their male counterparts. Creative arts disciplines pertain partly to media and advertising, within this, female university applicants in 2021 outweighed male applicants by over 69%. Despite this, in 2019 29% of staff in advertising are women, and only 12% make it to senior creative director positions.
Regardless of industry, women experience a harder time getting to the C-suite. According to research from Fortune in 2020, women account for 7% of all CEOs that make up the Fortune 500 companies. What’s more, a study in the Oregon State University’s Journal of Management revealed that implicit bias can result in female candidates being overlooked in favour of male candidates during job rounds for executive positions.
These statistics evidence two key points that restrain gender equality within the workplace. Firstly, career success is falsely attributed to natural career preferences. Even if we agree with this, we still see gender bias toward women that have supposedly travelled the path of least resistance. Second, women in all industries struggle to reach the C-suite, limiting opportunities to influence young females and company structures.
What message do we send to women if less than 10% make it to the top of global corporations? The women in these positions can talk about gender dynamics to try and change their company structures to offer women equal opportunities to rise up the ranks, but if male leaders stay quiet the status quo will likely remain.
To help bolster the voices of female leaders, who inspire career-driven females, their work must be celebrated by their male counterparts. Too many male-led companies, in and outside of the Fortune 500, do not express their desire to open the narrative for gender equality. Female CEO numbers will not suddenly increase to the point of an equal share of voice, so it is partially up to the majority – male leaders – to help amplify the minority and join the conversation constructively. It’s not just equal opportunities for women that requires allyship, there are issues to address the moment we begin our careers: be it the expectancy of motherhood and maternity leave or the fact women still face an average of 22.7% pay gap.
In their The Great Return report, Bloom recently conducted a study of 200+ women in communications roles.
Findings revealed that 58% of respondents were worried about telling their employer about upcoming maternity leave. Of the women that had taken maternity leave, less than 50% said they had been issued appropriate support and guidance, influencing the increase in worry to 73% for women announcing leave for their second child. In an environment where women are already disproportionately challenged and stereotyped, these figures indicate failings within many organisations to provide proper care to the evolving lives of women.
Naturally, this has a direct impact on readiness to return to work, with nearly half of the mothers profiled finding their back to work experience more negative than they thought it would be. Companies need to change top-down to accept these natural events in women’s lives, and allies must speak up to support women if they feel appropriate pre and post maternity leave support is not being provided.
To showcase the opportunities that can be afforded to women, they must be able to access the opinions, careers, and experiences of trailblazing women that have come before them. More needs to be done at an educational level to support this, but it is also up to the media to champion more female voices and shed light on gender inequality as it occurs.
Additionally, businesses must take the initiative and offer their resources and guidance to provide women with experiences that work to negate the stereotypes and expectations put upon them. This can come through experience days, speaking events, or in-house podcasts, blogs, or learning materials – most brands can do more to inspire females in school through to those who have already started their careers. Not only will this provide education to the career possibilities available to women, but it will also boost the content that exists around the subject and drive more conversations that help change the current landscape.
Within this, businesses must grant women the opportunity to be successful in C-suite positions, where they can nurture female talent top-down. This is not happening on an equal scale in the current status quo.
Lastly, focusing on the voices and experiences of women should not be limited to one day. International Women’s Day provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate female individuals, groups, and successes, but it is at risk of being siloed as a singular day of recognition rather than a continual effort to improve gender equality in the workplace. This phenomenon was highlighted by the gender pay gap bot, which called out companies whose gender pay gaps did not conform to their celebratory sentiments around International Women’s Day.
We must observe this specific day as a time for retrospect, to track the progress occurring within our industry and treat every day as an opportunity to support female talent, amplify female voices, and level the playing field regardless of gender. Both men and women need to fully understand the dynamics occurring within the workplace, and it is important for women to consider joining organisations like Bloom where the unity of our voices provide a platform to speak openly about gender equality in and beyond the workplace.

I was quietly reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass and thinking about yesterday’s post on the interconnected dance of life, when Facebook, with its indelible memory, reminded me: It is six years to the day that my colleague Dan Markel, a criminal law professor at Florida State University, was murdered, shot to death in his garage.
The sensation of shock, like unsavory gray smoke filling my lungs, making me nauseous with incomprehension, has stayed with me, and seems to have been universal. Dan was so alive–isn’t that what is always said of the dead?–a true, energetic community builder, the architect of Prawfs Blawg, the inaugurator of CrimFest, both of which have outlived him. A loving father to his two young boys, of whom he always spoke with such affection. The nauseating smoke whispered, how? why? who? Theories spread among Dan’s friends and colleagues; blogs were ablaze, picking up the shreds of Dan’s life, looking for some conflict, strife, danger, something that would explain the unexplainable. Underneath it all, unspoken save, perhaps, in the offices of my friends’ therapists, was the uncomfortable but true realization, this doesn’t just happen to someone I know. People living comfortable lives of safety and social advantage, lives that do not grow in the shadow of street violence or require it, were deeply unsettled. If we could only find out why, we felt, perhaps, this senseless thing will make sense; something in Dan’s life, in his relationships and entanglements, would make sense of this out-of-place death.
The mystery of Dan’s murder lingered on, picking up steam occasionally on blogs, for two years. Whenever I met other friends and colleagues of Dan’s, we shook our heads. “We just want to know what happened,” we said. The aching gap Dan left in the professional and social fabric of our trade was lovingly mended by friends who took the mantle of organizing. Then, two years later, we found out. It was sordid, disturbing, the stuff of low-grade cold-crime television shows in which a deep-voiced anchor dramatizes the events. They were Luis Rivera, 33, and Sigfredo García, 34, murderers for hire, and the only plausible connection between them and Dan was the mother of García’s children, Katherine Magbanua, who was dating a rich Florida dentist, Charlie Adelson.
Adelson was Dan’s brother in law. Dan and his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, had divorced in 2013, and were amidst an ugly custody battle; Dan had won an order prohibiting Wendi from moving to Miami with the children, and filed a motion that would have prohibited Donna, Wendi’s mother, from being alone and unsupervised with the children due to alleged disparaging remarks about Dan. The investigators alleged Magbanua made the connection between the Adelson family and Garcia , that she received a large amount of money from the Adelsons following Dan’s murder, and that Magbanua was the first call Garcia dialed after Markel was murdered.
All this added up to arrest warrants against García, Magbanua, and Rivera, but not against the Adelsons. Despite repeated efforts to trip them, they have eluded law enforcement efforts at gathering more evidence against them. Rivera turned state witness, García was convicted, and Magbanua, who remained steadfastly silent even in the face of a threat with Florida’s death penalty, won a mistrial (ten jurors voted to convict, two to acquit.) Magbanua is to be retried for the murder. Much as I find it loathsome and distasteful to lionize and sanctify the three apprehended parties to a murder-for-hire because they are “poor people of color,” I can understand and empathize with the sentiments of injustice: the rich and powerful have managed to escape all consequences of their likely actions. Given what we know, what plausible explanation could there be for all this except the Adelsons’ desire to get Dan out of the way? Not one member of the Adelson clan evokes even a shred of sympathy: In a particularly cruel move, Wendi Adelson immediately proceeded to remove Dan’s last name from those of the children and denied them contact with their paternal grandparents. And yet, the police claims not to have cobbled enough probable cause for an arrest.
Thing is, what I think happened and what the law, which requires stringent beyond-reasonable-doubt proof, asserts happened, are two different things. The law does not operate in a vacuum, and people of means have many ways to insulate themselves from incriminating behavior and paper trails. I know many of my friends and colleagues who grieve for Dan hope for justice in the form of criminal consequences for the Adelsons. Much as I fail to comprehend the moral makeup of the Adelsons, I’ve always been pretty clear on the fact that I would not feel even a little bit better about this tragedy if I heard that the police arrested Donna, Charlie, or Wendi. Moreover, I didn’t feel relieved or vindicated when the police waved the threat of capital punishment over Katherine Magbanua’s head. Not only did it not work, in Magbanua’s case, and not only does this use of the death penalty as a bargaining tool create ugly disparities between sentences in abolitionist and retentive states, but I found the whole entanglement with the worst aspects of Florida’s criminal justice system tasteless given Dan’s own scholarly stance against the death penalty. My conversations with many of Dan’s friends and colleagues revealed that they, too, felt like knowing what had happened and making their mind about the culprits was sufficient. What horrors, albeit deserved, could the criminal justice system possibly visit upon the Adelsons that would make us feel better about the grievous loss of our friend?
I’m not particularly surprised that so many people’s grief over Dan’s death didn’t manifest as a desire to see his killers–all of them, including the ones too dainty to pull the trigger–harshly punished. I see the same from families and friends of homicide victims all the time. The first-ever national survey of crime survivors show that victims are far less punitive than Twitter would have you believe.
Not everyone is nonpunitive, of course. The Tate family, whom I discuss at length in my book Yesterday’s Monsters, were instrumental in shaping public perception of what victims want, as was Mark Klaas. I don’t think any of these people has been manipulative or insincere or has not suffered unimaginable pain; I do think, however, that their voices are mistakenly assumed to represent what most victims want, which is not the real picture. Nor is this an illness particular to the conservative right; the fault lies just as much with the folks who wrote fashionable pieces about how Jean Brandt’s act of faith and forgiveness toward Amber Guyger was “problematic” in that it “allowed whites to benefit from black forgiveness”, because some people on the left are apparently so enlightened that they can educate people on how to properly grieve their relatives. I saw the same dynamic in some of the astonishing reactions on Christian Cooper’s sane and measured response to the police investigation of Amy Cooper’s false complaint about him to the police, those accusing him of “performing a disservice” to African Americans nationwide, because apparently (1) everything has to be a performance and (2) the only true path to social justice is through arrests, charges, and convictions.
Why is all this making me so sad today? Because amidst these frightening times, that should by right make all of us deeply grateful for life and concerned to preserve its fragility, incomprehensibly, the federal appetite for executions reached a boiling point, and sometime last week, while we were all asleep, the Supreme Court kosherized three executions. Each, in its way, highlighted the deeply misguided aspects of the death penalty. Daniel Lewis Lee was put to death against the express, vocal, and repeated wishes of his victims’ families against his execution. Wesley Purkey’s execution of a “severely brain-damaged and mentally ill man who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease,” whose lawyer, Rebecca woodman, said does not understand “why the government plans to execute him” was a grim reminder of the idiocy of incessant, expensive litigation to ensure that people are healthy enough to be killed by the state; And Dustin Honken’s attorney, Shawn Nolan, underscored the fallacy that people are unchanging and irredeemable: “”There was no reason for the government to kill him, in haste or at all. In any case, they failed. The Dustin Honken they wanted to kill is long gone. The man they killed today was a human being, who could have spent the rest of his days helping others and further redeeming himself.” In keeping with the usual pattern of death penalty litigation, which Justice Harry Blackmun called “tinkering with the machinery of death“, the dissents were all about method and process, rather than about the heart of the matter.
That this–a reaffirmation of our government’s commitment to a punishment that is, itself, dying a slow death (like many of death row inmates themselves)–is our takeaway from this pandemic, is mind boggling, but I see the same mentality among those wondering why we worry about people on California’s own death row catching COVID-19. Being on death row is hardly a natural consequence of one’s actions, as so many of my colleagues have explained over the years, and so the shrugging of shoulders, accompanied by a more or less crude version of “you do the crime, you do the time” or “we have to make priorities” astounds and perplexes me. As we inch toward November, the urgency of a vote that affirms everyone’s value in the dance of life becomes clearer and clearer. And then, we begin the hard work of reshaping the arc of progress, which has taken a very, very wrong turn.

- Meghan Markle’s father Thomas Markle Senior is doubtful to meet her newborn royal child.
- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their first child on Monday, 6th May.
- Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland was by her side at Frogmore Cottage.
- Thirty-seven years old Meghan and 74 years old Thomas’ relationship strained in the run-up to the royal wedding back in May 2018.
- Thomas pulled out of the wedding because of poor health leaving his daughter to walk up the aisle by herself.

Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland was by her side at Frogmore Cottage, but one relative who is very unlikely to meet the newborn royal baby is Thomas Markle Senior (Meghan Markle’s father).
Thirty-seven years old Meghan and 74 years old Thomas’ relationship strained in the run-up to the royal wedding back in May 2018. The sources have learned that they are no longer on speaking terms.
The royal baby announcement indicated that her father had not been informed regarding the arrival of his grandchild as his name not mentioned in the statement released by the palace.
The official announcement of the birth of Meghan and Harry’s son stated that the Queen and other members of the royal family including Princess Diana’s siblings had been informed, but Thomas Markle’s was not mentioned.

Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526hrs this morning. The baby weighs 7lbs 3oz. The Duke of Sussex was present for the birth. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer have been informed and are delighted with the news. The Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, who is overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with Their Royal Highnesses at Frogmore Cottage. Her Royal Highness and the baby are both doing well.
Thomas first fell out of the favor with the royal family when he presented paid paparazzi shot ahead of her daughter’s marriage to Prince Harry.
When the news of his set-up photoshoot flashed in the media, he pulled out of the wedding because of poor health leaving his daughter to walk up the aisle by herself.
Back on May 19, Prince and Harry’s wedding ceremony took out without Thomas’ presence. While Meghan was publicly supportive of her father during the time, the communication between them reportedly became strained.
To add fuel to the fire, her father, Thomas, gave a series of public interviews when he disclosed several private information.
A month later after the royal wedding, Thomas appeared in an uncleared interview with Piers Morgan on ITV’s show Good Morning Britain, he revealed that Thomas had said Donald Trump “ought to be given a chance.”
This does not end here! Thomas then discussed his prospect of his daughter becoming a mother claiming “there’s got to be a child in the making, somewhere soon.”
Months before, Thomas opened up to criticize her daughter for her ongoing refusal to speak with him, revealing that he was really hurt that his daughter cut him off completely.
However, Meghan’s friends insisted that her daughter knew exactly how to reach his daughter, but he never tried to get in contact with her.


The government plans to invoke Article 50 at the end of this March, which will begin the formal two-year process for the UK's exit from the EU. Britain's housing market has so far proven to be much more resilient to Brexit than the forecast of a sharp hit made by former Chancellor of Exchequer George Osborne before last June's European Union membership referendum. But the March 2017 monthly rise has only been exceeded once at this time of year since 2007.
The 1.3 per cent average asking price rise in the past four weeks is equivalent to £3,877. This has been driven in the main by increases in Outer London where the average asking was up 2.6% in contrast to a smaller 0.4% uplift in Inner London.
THE soaring price of property in the Midlands is driving house price growth across England and Wales, as new data reveals that the average asking price hit £310,108 this month.
In its latest report, the online property portal stated the slower pace of house price increases means over-priced properties are at greater risk of being unsold in the current climate.
Rightmove House Price index cited the experience of James Sims, director at Brik Estate Agents in Fulham in London, for price sensitivity in the market.
He explained that the figures indicate a certain resilience in the market.
16 killed in Ghana waterfall accident
He said 11 people were receiving treatment, including one of the school administrators in charge of the trip. The rescue team used chainsaws to cut through logs before they could retrieve bodies trapped in the water.
This compares to 7.6% in March 2016, highlighting the slower pace of increase in the market.
"As markets in other areas of the country become more mature and run out of price-rise steam and froth, the fundamentals of the Midlands have come to the fore".
In March previous year asking prices were growing at an annual rate of almost 8% as buy-to-let investors rushed in ahead of an increase in stamp duty in April and before the decline in the lead-up to June's Brexit vote.
Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove, said: "The pace is no longer being set by the more affluent commuter-belt South, including London with its global appeal".
According to Russell Quirk, chief executive of eMoov, the seasonal pick up ahead of what is traditionally the busiest time of the year for the housing market along with an ongoing shortage of supply is keeping prices up.
He continues: "We've seen a lot of hesitation in the market of late, particularly amongst those in the likes of the South East, who are anxious about maximising their investment return".

Tooth pain in dogs is a common problem that can cause discomfort, irritability, and even affect their overall health. Dogs use their teeth for a variety of purposes, from eating to playing, and as such, they are prone to dental issues just like humans. Tooth pain in dogs can be caused by a range of factors, from gum disease to tooth decay and even dental injuries. As pet owners, it's essential to recognize the signs of tooth pain in our dogs and know how to alleviate their discomfort.
In this AnimalWised article, we'll explore the causes of tooth pain in dogs, its symptoms, and how to treat and prevent dental issues in our beloved pets.
Causes of tooth pain in dogs
Tooth pain is a common problem that affects dogs of all ages and breeds. Just like humans, dogs can experience dental issues that can cause pain and discomfort in their teeth and gums.
Although many pet owners may consider dental disease in their pets as primarily a cosmetic issue, the truth is that dental disease can also cause pain and discomfort for animals.
Tooth pain in dogs can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Dental plaque and tartar buildup: over time, plaque, and tartar can accumulate on a dog's teeth and cause inflammation in the gums (gingivitis). Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which is a more severe form of gum disease that can cause tooth loss and pain.
- Malocclusion: dogs with misaligned teeth or an abnormal bite may experience tooth pain due to pressure on certain teeth or jaw bones.
- Trauma: trauma to the teeth can be caused by accidents, falls, fights with other animals, or chewing on hard objects. The trauma can result in a fracture or crack in the tooth, exposing the sensitive inner layers and causing pain.
- Tooth infections: tooth infections occur when bacteria enter the tooth through a crack or cavity and infect the pulp, which is the innermost layer of the tooth. This can lead to an abscess, which is a painful pocket of pus that forms at the root of the tooth.
- Teething: just like humans, puppies go through a teething phase where their baby teeth fall out and are replaced by adult teeth. This process can be uncomfortable and painful for puppies, and they may experience sore gums and teeth.
- Foreign objects: dogs are known to chew on and swallow all sorts of things, such as bones, sticks, toys, and even rocks. If these objects get stuck in the teeth or gums, they can cause irritation, inflammation, and infection, leading to tooth pain. Additionally, some objects can cause damage to the teeth or gums, such as fractures or cuts, which can also lead to pain.
If left untreated, tooth pain can lead to more serious health problems, so it's important to seek veterinary care if your dog is showing signs of dental pain.

Signs of tooth pain in dogs
Identifying tooth pain in dogs can be difficult since they cannot communicate their discomfort directly. However, there are several signs and symptoms that can indicate your dog is experiencing toothache.
The manifestation of dental pain in dogs can vary significantly, depending on factors such as the intensity of pain and the individual personality of the dog. However, some common symptoms of tooth pain in dogs include:
- Decreased appetite
- Pawing or rubbing at the mouth or face
- Bleeding or inflamed gums
- Bad breath
- Changes in chewing habits, such as chewing on one side of the mouth or avoiding hard food
- Whining or crying when eating or drinking
- Lethargy or reduced activity level
- Swelling around the face or jaw
- Tooth discoloration or visible damage
If your dog is displaying any of these symptoms, it is important to take them to a veterinarian for an evaluation. The veterinarian can perform a thorough examination of your dog's teeth and gums and recommend a treatment plan to alleviate their tooth pain.
How to relieve tooth pain in a dog?
If you suspect that your dog is suffering from tooth pain, it is crucial to take them to the vet for a proper evaluation. It is not recommended to medicate your dog with over-the-counter painkillers or assume that the cause of the pain is due to a tooth problem without a proper diagnosis. Some dental issues may require systemic antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, or even tooth extraction, which only a vet can diagnose and treat.
Nevertheless, there are several steps you can take to alleviate your dog's tooth pain. Here are some recommendations:
- Soft toys or chews: although these may not completely eliminate tooth pain, they can help relieve it, especially for puppies who tend to bite everything. This will also prevent them from chewing on other objects that may damage their teeth.
- Food dispensing toys: you can fill these toys with cold or frozen food (make sure it does not harm them) to help reduce inflammation and relieve tooth pain. This type of toy, like KONG, also keeps your dog entertained.
- Chamomile, Aloe Vera, or Lavender: these medicinal herbs have calming properties that can help your dog feel more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with your vet to determine the correct dose and administration method.
- Dental cleaning: if your dog's tooth pain is caused by dental disease, a professional dental cleaning may be necessary to remove the tartar and bacteria causing the pain.
In summary, it's best to seek professional help from a veterinarian for any concerns regarding your dog's dental health. Along with their guidance, these recommendations can aid in reducing your dog's discomfort and prevent further damage to their teeth.

How to treat tooth pain in dogs?
The treatment for tooth pain in dogs depends on the underlying cause of the pain. The first step is to take the dog to the veterinarian for a proper diagnosis. The veterinarian may perform a physical examination, dental X-rays, and blood work to determine the cause of the tooth pain.
- Cavity or infection: if the tooth pain is caused by a dental issue such as a cavity or infection, the veterinarian may recommend a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing, and possibly a tooth extraction. The dog may also be prescribed pain medication, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatory medication to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
- Systemic disease: in cases where the tooth pain is caused by a systemic disease, such as a bacterial or viral infection, the veterinarian may prescribe antibiotics or antiviral medication to treat the underlying condition.
It is important to follow the veterinarian's recommended treatment plan and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the dog's tooth pain is properly managed, and any underlying conditions are effectively treated.
Can you give Metamizole or dipyrone to a dog with toothache?
It is not recommended to give Metamizole, also known as Dipyrone, to a dog with toothache without consulting with a veterinarian first. While this medication is commonly used to treat pain and fever in humans, it can be toxic to dogs in certain doses.
Additionally, there may be underlying health conditions that are causing the toothache, which can be better addressed through a proper evaluation by a veterinarian. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional guidance before administering any medication to a dog with tooth pain.
Home remedies to avoid tooth pain in dogs
Preventing tooth pain in dogs is essential for their overall health and well-being. Here are some home remedies that can help in maintaining your dog's dental health:
- Regular Brushing: brushing your dog's teeth regularly can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems that can lead to tooth pain. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste designed for dogs.
- Diet: a healthy and balanced diet can promote healthy teeth and gums. Feed your dog high-quality dog food that is rich in vitamins and minerals. Avoid giving them table scraps, sugary or starchy foods, or bones that are too hard.
- Chew Toys: chewing on appropriate toys can help your dog clean their teeth, remove plaque, and strengthen their jaw muscles. Look for toys made of rubber or nylon that are durable and not easily broken apart.
- Raw Bones: raw bones can be a great way to clean your dog's teeth and promote dental health. However, be sure to supervise your dog when they are chewing on bones, and never give them cooked bones that can splinter and cause serious injuries.
- Coconut Oil: coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Rub a small amount of coconut oil on your dog's teeth and gums or add it to their food.
Remember, home remedies can only do so much, and it is still essential to take your dog for regular dental checkups with a veterinarian.
