7xm biz The holidays are creeping up on us and next week we will all be eating turkey, hopefully surrounded by family, to kick off the season of festive cheer that will start soon. In fact, Thanksgiving is one of the reasons why retirees worry during the month of November, but there are some good news for those who still have not received their Social Security check. Between the food purchases to feed a small army, or a family, and the mad rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday to get the best deals on Christmas presents, it is a month with a lot of expenses, and many worry that their check will not make it in time for the turkey or the shopping. But this year it will not be the case. Social Security payments in November Most beneficiaries will have already gotten their check for the month, so they are covered for all the expenses they are going to make, but there is one collective that has still not received their retirement check, and that is those born between the 21st and 31st of any month who will receive their November deposit on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. This is the normal date for the disbursement of this payment, but many are worried that the holidays will impact its timely arrival. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for many payments throughout the year, and this will not be the time to fail. The well-oiled machine that is the SSA will have all checks ready to be deposited in accounts and mailboxes on time for you to spend them. Every year, especially during the winter months, the same issues arise. Unpredictable snowfalls, system collapses, natural disasters, etc. and while these cannot be made better, there are mechanisms in place to ensure that the money does not get lost in the way and makes it to its designated recipient on time for such important times of the year. This year there are some additional good news just after Turkey Day. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments will make their way into people’s accounts and mailboxes as well! Just in time to go shopping. SSI provides monthly payments to people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources, so not every retiree will receive this extra payment, but for those who qualify, their SSI payment for December will be advanced and will get distributed on Friday the 29 of November. Regrettably this is not an effort to ease shopping by the federal government, although it would be nice. This is in accordance with the protocol that the SSA enacts when a distribution date coincides with a weekend or a National Holiday. In this case, December 1 st , which is the date SSI should be distributed in, is a Sunday and thus the payment needs to be moved to the prior day banks are open and the US Postal Service delivers mail. Contrary to popular belief, Black Friday is not actually a federal holiday (banks are open and the mail is delivered) even though most companies make the best of the long weekend, and so the distribution of SSI checks is scheduled for Friday 29 of November. For those who have received heir checks already or are still waiting, just remember not to spend the whole balance in one go, as there is still Christmas to think about and there will be no more SSI checks until December 31 st , just after most of the expenses have been made, although it will still be a nice present to ring in the new year.YSL jury to resume deliberations after Thanksgiving weekend

NoneAfter a very “painful” three years since he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western “Rust” in 2021, Alec Baldwin was supposed to enjoy the opportunity to celebrate his career this week by being honored in Europe with a Lifetime Achievement Award. But as is typical for Baldwin, he opened his mouth to reporters. During a press conference at the Torino Film Festival, the often polarizing actor ended up saying things about Americans and female directors that have aggravated some corners of the internet. During another interview, he sought sympathy for his almost equally controversial influencer wife, Hilaria Baldwin, insisting that she was particularly “traumatized” by the death of Hutchins. So, where to begin with Baldwin’s headline-making media remarks in Italy? First off, during the press conference, Baldwin expressed concerns about Americans’ lack understanding of politics and the state of the world in the wake of Donald Trump’s election to a second term as president, according to The Hollywood Reporter . While Baldwin was asked about his concerns for America after Trump retakes office, the veteran actor, a lifelong Democrat who famously parodied Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” didn’t mention the former reality TV star by name. Still, he said: “There’s a hole, a vacuum... a gap in information for Americans. Americans are very uninformed about reality, what’s really going on — climate change, Ukraine, you name it.” “The biggest topics in the world, Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information,” Baldwin continued, with comments sure to stir up outrage among critics who see him as arrogant and elitist. “That vacuum is filled by the film industry,” Baldwin said. “Not just the independent film industry, not just the documentary film industry but narrative films as well.” Baldwin also was asked about the role of female directors in the industry, according to The Hollywood Reporter . On one hand, he tried to praise female directors by saying it’s “a good thing” that more women are directing major films. “In the cinema of the ’80s and ’90s, out of 100 directors there were 98 men and two women,” Baldwin said. “Now, it’s not like that, and that’s a good thing.” But then Baldwin couldn’t help himself. He said, “For some films you need an energetic director who moves the camera continuously and maybe a male director is better.” “But for a comedy or a drama with a lot of talk, what’s the difference between a male director and a female director?” Baldwin said. “In fact, there’s more introspective capacity in a female director.” So women can’t be energetic? It’s possible that Baldwin was referring to his belief that women are not particularly suited to directing male-oriented action films, with lots of fighting and big-budget special effects. But Kathryn Bigelow famously became the first woman to win an Academy Award for best director for helming “The Hurt Locker,” the intense 2009 Iraq War film that won best picture. Jane Campion, certainly known for dramas “with a lot of talk,” also won best director for the 2022 Western “The Power of the Dog.” It was reported that Baldwin only agreed to be the guest of honor at the Torino Film Festival if Italian reporters at the press conference were barred from asking him about Hutchins’ death in October 2021, Variety said. But Baldwin ended up talking to a reporter for Variety about “Rust,” “candidly sharing his feelings” about the film’s premiere and “cancel culture.” Hutchins was killed on the film’s New Mexico set when Baldwin was handling a prop gun during a rehearsal and pointed it in her direction. The gun was supposed to be loaded with only dummy rounds, but held a live round, which fatally wounded Hutchins when the gun fired. Baldwin was put on trial for involuntary manslaughter, but the judge dismissed the charges after learning the prosecution withheld evidence. Baldwin, director Joel Souza and other members of the cast and crew ended up completing the film, saying they wanted to honor Hutchins. The film received a mostly “polite” response when it had its world premiere last week at the EnergaCamerimage festival in Poland. However, some audience members were visibly “uncomfortable” watching scenes of Baldwin “shooting people” in the film, a critic for Vulture reported. Baldwin was not invited to the premiere, because festival organizers said they were concerned that his presence would be “too distracting.” In his interview with Variety, Baldwin said he hasn’t seen a final cut of “Rust” and doesn’t want to “right now.” “Only because this is obviously the most difficult thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life,” said Baldwin, who then went on to explain why the shooting and its aftermath was particularly difficult for his wife.

There has been a lot of pain. When you are married to somebody and everything was going fairly well and we had seven kids ... and the floor falls out. It’s very frightening and very disturbing. And we are trying to get the wind in our sails, to get away from this stuff.” While it may be that the shooting was “traumatizing” for Hilaria Baldwin, the former yoga teacher and once-aspiring lifestyle and parenting influencer also faced criticism for appearing to exploit the tragedy and in ways that involved her use of their seven young children. In the weeks after Hutchins’ death, Hilaria Baldwin, known for her love of media attention, continued to post multiple images of their children on a daily basis. The posts on Instagram included potentially private content about the Baldwin family’s home life amid her husband’s crisis for the on-set shooting. Some images showed the children playing and enjoying Christmas. But other images showed the children acting out or looking sad and distressed, leading PR and crisis experts to accuse Hilaria Baldwin of using her children as “props” to garner sympathy, while also appearing to be “narcissistic” and “callous,” given that Hutchins’ young son lost his mother. Both Hilaria and Alec Baldwin faced criticism more recently of exploiting their children, including in the weeks leading up to his manslaughter trial this summer. In a “bizarrely”-timed move before the start of the trial, the couple announced that they and their seven children would star in a new TLC reality TV show about their hectic family life. Starring in a reality TV show is seen as a career let-down for Baldwin, an Emmy winner and Oscar nominee who was once on track to be a Hollywood leading man before becoming valued as one of the industry’s most valued character actors. But a reality show gig was considered to be more in tune with the professional aspirations of his wife, whose once lucrative career as an influencer was derailed when she was embroiled in a scandal over damning evidence that she spent more than a decade faking a Spanish accent and identity.

Technical Features The WEW1-2000 ACB is equipped with several advanced features that enhance its performance and reliability: 1. High Interrupting Capacity High Interrupting Capacity refers to the ACB's ability to handle and safely interrupt very high fault currents without sustaining damage. When a fault occurs, such as a short circuit, the current flowing through the circuit can be extremely high. If not properly managed, this can cause significant damage to electrical equipment and increase the risk of fires or other hazards. The WEW1-2000 ACB is designed to manage these high fault currents effectively. By interrupting the current quickly and safely, it prevents damage to the electrical system and maintains overall safety. This high interrupting capacity is crucial in environments with large electrical loads and high fault potential, such as industrial plants and large commercial buildings. 2. Adjustable Trip Settings Adjustable Trip Settings allow the ACB to be customized to fit the specific requirements of an electrical system. These settings control the conditions under which the breaker will trip (or disconnect the circuit). * Thermal Trip Setting:This setting responds to sustained overloads. By adjusting this setting, the breaker can be configured to trip at different levels of sustained overcurrent, ensuring that it provides protection tailored to the specific needs of the system. * Magnetic Trip Setting:This setting responds to short circuits by tripping instantly. Adjustable magnetic settings ensure that the breaker can handle varying fault currents and respond appropriately to different short circuit conditions. The ability to adjust these settings helps optimize the protection of the electrical system, ensuring that the breaker trips only under appropriate conditions and prevents unnecessary interruptions. 3. Thermal and Magnetic Protection Thermal and Magnetic Protection mechanisms are integral to the operation of the WEW1-2000 ACB: * Thermal Protection:This mechanism is designed to protect against sustained overloads. It uses a bimetallic strip that heats up as the current increases. When the strip reaches a certain temperature, it bends and trips the breaker, disconnecting the circuit. This type of protection is important for addressing overloads that develop gradually over time, such as those caused by excessive load or faulty equipment. * Magnetic Protection:This mechanism provides instantaneous protection against short circuits. It employs an electromagnetic coil that generates a magnetic field when a short circuit occurs. This field moves a plunger or mechanism that quickly trips the breaker, disconnecting the circuit almost immediately. Magnetic protection is essential for rapid response to short circuits, preventing damage and minimizing the risk of fires. 4. Durable Construction Durable Construction refers to the materials and design used to build the ACB, which contribute to its longevity and reliability: * High-Quality Materials: The WEW1-2000 ACB is constructed using robust materials that are resistant to wear and environmental factors. This includes the breaker's casing and internal components, which are designed to withstand physical stress, temperature variations, and other conditions. * Environmental Resistance: The breaker is built to resist environmental challenges such as dust, moisture, and corrosive elements. This ensures that it performs reliably even in harsh environments, such as industrial facilities or outdoor installations. * Robust Design: The design of the ACB incorporates features that enhance its durability and effectiveness. This includes mechanisms for high interrupting capacity and reliable trip functions, ensuring that the breaker remains effective throughout its operational life.
