The Australian share market traditionally provides investors with an average of 4%. But income investors don't have to settle for that. Not when there are ASX 200 dividend shares like the three listed below. Here's what you need to know about them: ( ) The first ASX 200 dividend share that is rated as a buy is Eagers Automotive. It is a leading auto retailer with over 250 locations across Australia and New Zealand. This portfolio covers all 19 of the top 20 best-selling car brands in Australia, as well as 9 of the top 10 luxury brands. Bell Potter is positive on the company and believes it could outperform consensus expectations with its second-half performance in FY 2024. It expects this to underpin fully franked dividends of 66.5 cents per share in FY 2024 and then 73 cents per share in FY 2025. Based on its current share price of $11.67, this represents dividend yields of 5.7% and 6.25%, respectively. Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $13.00 price target on its shares. ( ) Bell Potter is also feeling positive about retail giant Harvey Norman and sees it as an ASX 200 dividend share to buy. The broker likes the retailer due to its exposure to the artificial intelligence (AI) megatrend. It believes Harvey Norman stands to benefit greatly from an AI driven major upgrade/replacement cycle of devices purchased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bell Potter expects this to support the payment of fully franked dividends of 25.9 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 28.5 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Harvey Norman share price of $4.71, this equates to 5.5% and 6% dividend yields, respectively. Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $5.80 price target on its shares. ( ) Finally, Goldman Sachs thinks that IPH is an ASX 200 dividend share to buy. It is an intellectual property (IP) services company with operations across the world. The broker is positive on IPH due to its belief that it "is well-placed to deliver consistent and defensive earnings with modest overall organic growth." And after increasing its dividend every year for the past decade, Goldman expects this run to continue. It is forecasting fully franked dividends of 36 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 39 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current IPH share price of $4.95, this represents yields of 7.3% and 7.9%, respectively. Goldman Sachs currently has a buy rating and $7.50 price target on its shares.In a piece penned by Amy Reast for SWNJivf, Ross Watson, a 30 year old man who was an IVF miracle baby and spent 14 months as a frozen embryo, expresses his hope that the new Netflix film 'Joy' will "shine a spotlight" on the "magical" process of IVF. Ross, born on August 21, 1994, was a dream come "true" for his mother Carol Watson, 65, who had been told she would never be able to have children. Carol and her husband Alan, 71, invested $10,000 in IVF treatment in their pursuit of parenthood. Ross, their "miracle baby," was their last hope after being a frozen embryo for 14 months. Netflix is down: Streaming platform crashes globally leaving TV watchers in panic Squid Game winner claims Netflix still hasn't paid her out $4.5m 10 months after win With the upcoming release of the eagerly awaited Netflix film, Joy, Ross believes it will serve as "a testament to all families with their own IVF stories." The movie, set in the 1960s and 1970s, narrates the real-life story of the world's first in vitro fertilization baby Louise Brown. "We met a stranger who saved my little boy by donating her liver after unexpected rare diagnosis," reports the Mirror US . Ross, a PR manager hailing from Dudley, West Midlands, stated: "IVF is a topic that's particularly close to my heart." He further added, "But a film about it highlights that it wasn't always this way - it's important for people to know the history." Ross opened up, "My parents didn't talk a lot about what they went through when I was growing up. As a kid or a teen you don't have as much of an understanding of quite how special it is. But I've grown up and have developed a newfound appreciation for it. It's really magical that IVF can work and I hope the film will shine a spotlight on that." Born at Wordsley Hospital near Stourbridge, West Mids, Ross came into the world at 1 am on August 21, 1994. The magic of IVF isn't lost on one man who's particularly grateful for a film illuminating the procedure, as he expressed, "I was always fully aware of what my parents had gone through and I'll always be thankful." His gratitude extends to the lengths his parents went to bring him life, with him reflecting, "I'll also always be thankful for the time, energy and money that they went through to bring me into this world." Reflecting further on IVF's impact, he added, "As I've got older its given me a chance to reflect on how cool IVF actually is." Contemplating the process, he noted, "It's not until you think about it deeply that you realize how crazy it is." He's looking forward to seeing the film Joy, and his enthusiasm is matched by his mother, Carol, who remarked, "It's really amazing what science can do - and the fact Ross' embryo was frozen for 14 months." She is eager to see the film herself, confirming, "I'll definitely be watching."

Redbeard’s Bar & Grill on Mt. Washington to transform into new spotANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras will be out for six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Zegras had surgery Thursday, the team announced. Zegras was injured last week on a fairly innocent-looking play during the Ducks' 4-1 loss to Vegas in Anaheim. Zegras and William Karlsson only briefly got their skates and stick blades entangled, but Zegras needed help to get off the ice after taking a fall. Zegras' torn meniscus is his third major injury in just over a year, although a torn meniscus is likely a fortunate outcome for a knee injury that could have been much worse. He was limited to 31 games last season by two injury setbacks, including a broken ankle that required surgery. Zegras has four goals and six assists in 24 games this season for Anaheim, which had lost four straight heading into its road game against Toronto on Thursday night. The Ducks surprisingly activated forward Robby Fabbri from injured reserve before they faced the Maple Leafs. Fabbri had arthroscopic knee surgery on Nov. 15 and is progressing much faster than his initial predicted timeline of six to eight weeks. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/NHL

Caribbean CIP/CBI programmes are currently deficient in solidifying trust, transparency, regional security and cohesion, with no clear plan for the future of the programme. The destiny of Caribbean CBI programmes is virtually in the hands of US and EU jurisdictions, irrespective of illustrious Caribbean politicians talking heads of low influence. Subject to letters and notifications in wide circulation, and limited collective action by CBIPs , (Saint Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda), it cannot be equitable and accepting for business as usual, relevant to (CIP/CBI operatives) marketing agents, consultants, and developers that are implied, implicit and/or found wanting to continue operating in the Caribbean migration industry. Consequently, what does one have to do to occupy the Blacklist? Consider how one Caribbean CIP/CBI revoke a file/ applicant based on legal factors, while other CBIPs process the file/applicant from the same CIP/CBI preferred vendor. Thus, the preface to unified actions in a small defined space is optimal in the adherence to principle and policy – to actualize collective regional and international application of law and contracts – Memorandum-of-Agreement-CBIP-20-March-2024 – relative to (CIP/CBI operatives) CIP/CBI due diligence units and governments collection of (peanut) fees. And by the virtue of a shared value to human conduct, Caribbean governments and legislators are obligated to rise and lead in the realm of achieving regional sovereignty in public life and business on a defensible standard. Herein, is there a different definition for justice and doing business in and for the Caribbean region? Who and what differentiates one CIP/CBI functionality from another? CIP/CBI Justice The quality of being just, impartial, or fair is the principle or ideal of distributing the right action. And, when justice is the central part of ethics – the question must be asked whether CBIPs treat all CIP/CBI operators and preferred vendors equally. CIP/CBI Comradery On the aspect of comradery, defined as a feeling of friendliness, goodwill, and familiarity among people, i.e., CBIPs, factors of trust, shared goal or experience – oblige common elements. Comrades have the freedom to duty, people and country. However, disparities in the actions of CBIPs call to question, as each applied variable standards in failing to blacklist agents and consultants who violate and/or are wittingly and/or unwittingly, compete adversely to state law and signed contracts, and proceed to amass wealth without justice. The Three Musketeers storey relative to CBIPs History teaches how ' Young D'Artagnan arrives in Paris, D'Artagnan finds himself caught in a web of adventure, love triangles, and political intrigue. And after a rocky start, becomes friends with the three gentlemen of the title. All the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members pledge to support the group. ' Does the concept“ all for one and one for all ” exist in CBIPs, CARICOM, and the OECS? Caribbean CBI countries organise towards MOA – July 1, 2024 Considering the signatories to the MOA subtitles – Pricing, Information sharing and transparency standards, Regulator, Security Screening and framework, Dispute Resolution, Legal Effect – reverberates on “ the purpose of this MOA is to provide a framework for cooperation and information sharing between the Parties in relation to their CBIPs. This includes, but is not limited to, the exchange of best practices, due diligence processes, and intelligence related to potential security or compliance risks. ” The laws of justice and comradery correspond to the ethics required for the removal of not just the revocation of applicants found in violation of individual countries' CIP/CBI programmes, but the removal and blacklisting of corresponding CBIPs operators and preferred vendors – from doing Caribbean CIP/ CBI business. Comradery is a spirit of friendship and community – CBIPs, CARICOM, and OECS, hitherto, the inconsistency in the prosecution, removal and blacklisting of CBIPs operatives are not held to account? In circumstances of divergence and schemes that leapfrog processes, leading Caribbean CIP/CBI authorities are duty-bound to review the programme and/or overhaul systems, before all is lost, if not already. CARICOM IMPACS-Joint Regional Communications Centre (JRCC) mainly responsible for the operations and management of the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) is one of two Sub-Agencies of CARICOM IMPACS , part of the Regional Framework for Crime and Security, the other being the Regional Intelligence Fusion Centre (RIFC) a sub-agency in Trinidad and provides support to Member States in intelligence gathering, sharing and analysis. Value proposition Competent CIP/CBI operators and preferred vendors in the industry deserve equal economic, political, and social opportunities. They ought not to be seen in the light of crooks and con artists that overshadow ethics, the essence of fairness and justice. There can be no justice (ethical, philosophical idea) when one Caribbean CIP/CBI programmes among the (CBIPs) deal appropriately with matters while others are allowed to permeate, oftentimes discriminatory, in an uncommon manner. State laws, MOAs and contracts are meant to achieve value propositions that do not bring undue harm, and where harm is patent, remedial action should be collective and swift. Caribbean CIP/CBI programmes must progress on equity and justice (Nyaya) towards preferred vendors in the transaction of legitimate migration and investments. The framework for thinking ethically must be clear and beneficial to the development of the people and the Caribbean region.
