Last month, the Central government hiked the dearness relief (DR) for central government employees by 4% effective from July 1, 2022. With this, the DR has been hiked to 38% after a four percent raise. Apart from this, the Centre this week also approved payment of the Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) equivalent to 78 days to railway employees for the financial year 2021-22.

8th Pay Commission soon
Amid these announcements on payments, speculations are also rife that the Narendra Modi government is planning to set up the 8th Pay Commission for employees soon. The government employees must know that the Pay Commission was last set up on February 28, 2014 for the hike related to payment of Central government employees. According to the trends seen through the 5th, 6th, and 7th Pay Commissions, the general expectation is that the 8th Pay Commission would be constituted in 2023. However, nothing has been confirmed as of now by the Central government. Also Read – 7th Pay Commission: Dearness Allowance Hiked To 38 Per Cent For Govt Employees Of THIS State
DA hiked by 4%
Ahead of Diwali festival, the Union Cabinet on September 28 hiked the dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief by 4 per cent effective July 1, 2022. The move from the government has benefitted over 41.85 lakh central government employees and 69.76 lakh pensioners.
Notably, the latest installment of DA and dearness relief (DR) is an increase of 4 per cent over the existing rate of 34 per cent of basic pay/pension.
The increase in the DA and DR is based on the percentage increase in 12 monthly average of All India Consumer Price Index for the period ending June, 2022.
The Central government said the impact of enhanced dearness allowance to the employees on the exchequer is estimated at Rs 6,591.36 crore per annum and Rs 4,394.24 crore in 2022-23 (8 months from July, 2022 to February, 2023).
Diwali bonus for railway employees
On October 12, the Central government approved the payment of Productivity-Linked Bonus, which is equivalent to 78 days of wages, to railway employees for the financial year 2021-2022. This comes as Diwali bonanza for the government employees. The Productivity-Linked Bonus (PLB) equivalent to 78 days of wages will be paid to non-gazetted railway employees, excluding RPF/RPSF personnel, for the financial year 2021-22.
With this move from the Railway Ministry, about 11.27 lakh non-gazetted railway employees are going to be benefitted from the decision. The financial implication of payment of 78 days’ PLB to railway employees has been estimated to be Rs 1,832.09 crore.
Traded for a set of golf clubs, rare antiquity fetches a $75 million offer and the owner turns it down
Auction Company of America has announced that October 31, 2022 is the last day for bidding on the rare Talisman of Napoleon Bonaparte.
BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Talisman of Napoleon Bonaparte is widely expected to command over $150 million, which may well be a bargain.
Talisman of Napoleon: Incredible secret codes revealed
Napoleon used a Rosicrucian code embedded within the design elements of his spectacular talisman; and it took six years of meticulous investigation to decipher all the details involving the life of Napoleon and his expedition to Egypt where the discovery of the Rosetta Stone set the world’s imagination afire.
The crystal Sphinx that presides atop an inverted Egyptian boat symbolizes the Goddess Isis with the face of Napoleon’s beloved Josephine patterned after his favorite painting: The Mona Lisa by Leonardo daVinci, which hung in his bedroom for several years. The Sphinx also rests on a moveable “magic carpet” of rubies and emeralds with significance in their numerology and placement, all elucidated in the decoding, along with countless other documented, substantive analyses.
The Talisman is one of only a few, fully intact pieces of Napoleonic jewelry still in existence. It is, by far, the most intricate and pristine example of the complex design coding used by Napoleon, with all of its original 114 precious stones fully intact.
Owner Randy Jensen says, “My excitement went through the roof when world-renowned Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker and marketing genius became the leader of our Talisman Team. With her expert guidance, I’m certain that Napoleon’s priceless gem will find its perfect home.”
Our team had conversations with the CEO’s of both Christie’s and Sotheby’s who admitted, ‘we cannot disprove Randy Jensen’s research.’
Interestingly, there has never appeared an artifact in the annals of mankind that resembles this treasure and it is conceived, and uniquely designed, by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, the most Famous Emperor in the History of the World!

Emily De Margheriti is a pioneering Australian actress, producer, and role model for women in the entertainment industry. In the horror comedy Sissy, Emily De Margheriti plays the lead role of Alex. The film examines the dark side of social media and its consequences on friendships and mental health…
She acts, dances, produces, and writes. She co-founded Dems Entertainment and worked on films including I Hate Kids and To Hell with Reno. Sissy, her latest film, is a spoof of influencer culture. Emily De Margheriti began making movies in school, but not in the format teachers wanted. A short science experiment? She chose a prac report above hypothesis, findings, and conclusions. Her recent film, Sissy, portrays a grown-up bully. Cecilia (Alicia Dee) and Emma (Hannah Barlow) reconcile after a decade. Cecilia attends Emma’s bachelorette weekend and is stuck in a remote lodge with her high school bully. “In exploring what it meant to be Alex, I drew on people that I know in my life that make their friends their family, because Alex is very, very loyal and she will do anything to increase her popularity, but also she’ll do anything for friends” — says De Margheriti.
“I admire her boundaries, and I think we’re all damaged and reacting at some point.”
In an exclusive conversation with DKODING, Emily De Margheriti discussed her path to becoming a filmmaker, the sources of inspiration for her films, and the vital lessons she’s learned from working on both sides of the camera:
1/6
Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us! Do you remember a particular moment that you knew acting was your path to pursue?
Acting is in my blood! I can remember chatting with my grandad as a teenager, and telling him that I wanted to be an actor, and to my surprise he tried to persuade me otherwise! My grandad had a father who was an actor, Wally Thomas (Monty Python – The meaning of Life, The Singing Detective) and my grandad as a young teenager was always a last-minute stand-in when an actor wasn’t able to go on, or he had to deal with his father staying “in character” around the house. Grandad hated the stress of having to learn lines at the last minute and being forced to get on stage. My grandad joined the army to get away from all the acting madness. I guess having your dad as “King Lear” walking around the house for weeks on end wasn’t so great! Hearing about the chaos that acting can be, firsthand from my grandad had the opposite effect than intended – it sounded fun! I chose to ignore his advice and I become an actor, nothing like a “whatever you do, don’t”, to inspire me to do it!

Sissy is labeled a horror-comedy. How was that experience filming this kind of work as opposed to your previous projects?
Sissy is unlike anything I’ve filmed so far. I must admit I loved being on a horror set, slightly terrifying and exciting at the same time, the night shoots added to that eeriness. Getting buried alive – literally, was challenging, and as a night person, I loved filming at 4am. Playing Alex in Sissy felt very different from other characters I’ve played, as this role was more challenging. My other projects (Ladies in Black and I hate Kids) were very much the comic relief.
3/6
What would you consider the most influential theme in Sissy?
A theme that stands out the most for me in Sissy, is the way the movie portrays social media, the power of today’s social media and the affects it can cause in individuals lives.

4/6
In what ways do you relate to your character, Alex?
I relate to her boldness. She has strong boundaries, which I admire. I can also relate to her loyalty; I’ve always loved my friends and would do absolutely anything for them. I love that Alex is true to herself and even though you might not like her, you come to appreciate her point of view by the time you see the ending of Sissy.
5/6
What, if anything, did you take away from filming Sissy that you will bring with you to your next project?
I have made friends that will last a lifetime and have enriched my perspective on film production. I always approach a role in a professional manner and am inspired to continue to love what I do. My biggest take away is that you can’t prepare for everything that’s going to happen on set and you must be prepared to trust your work and be adaptable in the moment.
What’s next for you and your busy traveling schedule!
I am heading to Sitges in Spain to go to Sitges: International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia and help promote Sissy as well as see some other fantastic independent movies. After that I’ve got to head back to Australia as Sissy will premier at Dendy’s Cinema in Sydney on the 28th October. Fortunately its now also available on Shudder.com!
PHOENIX — In the homestretch of Arizona’s high-stakes contest for governor, Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has refused to debate her Republican opponent, MAGA firebrand Kari Lake, while also maintaining a low-key campaign schedule and facing being outspent on the airwaves in the closing weeks of the race.
As Lake barnstorms the state, some supporters, including Democrats and anti-Lake Republicans — a key constituency Hobbs needs to win over in a state where voter registrations are essentially split into thirds among Democrats, Republicans and independents — have expressed concern.
In interviews, they point to Hobbs’ refusal to debate Lake as an unforced error, a move that has provided Lake, a leading election denier, with ammunition to repeatedly attack Hobbs as too “weak” to serve as governor, and they’re expressing a desire for her to be more of a robust presence on the campaign trail.
“You wonder as a candidate if you’re doing everything you should be doing,” said Sandra Kennedy, an elected member of the state Corporation Commission who chaired President Joe Biden’s winning 2020 campaign in Arizona. “You don’t want to wait till the day after the election and think, ‘Would I have done it another way?’”
“I can’t say to you that she should have done or shouldn’t have done certain things,” Kennedy added. “She’s the candidate. But if I were the candidate for governor, I would debate, and I would want the people of Arizona to know what my platform is. And I would lay it out — lay it out in a way so they will know the difference between me and Kari Lake.”
The stakes of the race are huge. Arizona presents perhaps the greatest chance for an election-denying candidate tied closely to Trump to win a swing-state governor’s race this fall, with the winner having a direct role in the state’s certification of the 2024 presidential vote.
In recent weeks, surveys from CBS News, CNN and Fox News suggest that Hobbs and Lake are in a toss-up race, with each result falling within the margin of error. Those same surveys suggest Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat, holds slightly larger leads over Republican nominee Blake Masters in the state’s critical Senate race.
National and state Democrats working on the race said any concern over Hobbs’ campaign was “overblown.” These Democrats, who requested anonymity to speak candidly on the race, said any disparity between Hobbs and Kelly in polling can be attributed to his significantly larger war chest, higher name ID with voters and Lake benefitting from her decades as a TV news anchor in Phoenix.
They remain confident that Hobbs, boosted by recent court rulings on statewide abortion policy, as well as Lake’s refusal to moderate her stances on abortion and other issues, will be able to win. Hobbs has increasingly centered her pitch on abortion rights after a state court allowed for the enforcement of a near total ban that originated in the 19th century — and was later put on hold by an appeals court — and the enactment of a 15-week ban following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Asked about the concerns, Hobbs said in an interview that she was confident in her campaign.
“I am out here,” she said. “I’m fighting.”
Speaking with NBC News after addressing the Arizona Women’s March on Saturday, she said she is working to build statewide coalitions ahead of the vote.
“We are going to win,” she added. “And I will accept the result if I don’t.”

Hobbs, as secretary of state, gained national attention for defending Arizona’s election in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s narrow loss and subsequent campaign to overturn the results. But she has studiously avoided her opponent on the trail. While Lake’s campaign schedule has been tightly packed with events, Hobbs has maintained a more modest presence.
Of the pro-Trump election deniers running for key positions across the country, Lake is widely seen as having the best shot at winning a swing-state governor’s seat and has been described as the “Leading Lady“ of Trumpism.
Donna Durand, who chairs a Democratic Party organization west of Phoenix, said she is “anxious” over Hobbs’ decision not to debate Lake, adding the campaign has been difficult to coordinate with in terms of setting up events.
“I feel the frustrations,” she said, adding, “I’ve been contacting Hobbs’ team since June. And my clubs out here have been contacting the Hobbs team since January. And we just get the same answer — either crickets or, ‘Sorry, we can’t do this right now.’”
She stressed that she still supported the Democratic candidate. “I don’t take anything for granted,” Durand said, “and neither should Katie Hobbs.”
Asked about her schedule, the Hobbs’ campaign pointed to two campaign tours the candidate embarked on in August and September, as well as a trio of public events she participated in last week. They also pointed to recent media appearances and her record fundraising total for an Arizona Democrat, and said Hobbs has made a number of phone banking and canvassing stops.
Lake’s campaign told NBC News that she held 10 public events last week, with a spokesperson saying her schedule is “packed to the gills.” The Hobbs campaign insisted that while Lake may be more visible, her events are geared to the existing right-wing base, and not turning out critical swing voters.
“I’ve said this to the Hobbs people: ‘Throw a punch, and I’m there. Fight, fight, and I’m there. Lead,’” Wes Gullett, a former senior adviser to the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and an anti-Lake Republican who supports Hobbs, said. “But she doesn’t.”
When it comes to her refusal to debate Lake, Hobbs said that doing so would only give a platform to conspiracy theories that would not be beneficial to voters, citing Lake’s performance in the GOP primary debate in which she asked participants to raise their hands if they thought Arizona “had a corrupt, stolen election.”
But Hobbs also passed on participating in a debate during the Democratic primary.
“I’d love nothing more [than] to have a substantive conversation about the issues, how we differ and how we would govern,” Hobbs said. “That cannot happen on a stage with Kari Lake, who has shown she’s more interested in making a spectacle than anything else.”

Lake has seized on Hobbs’ refusal to debate and centered it during recent campaign appearances. She even disrupted the start of a forum where both were supposed to appear separately last week, asking that Hobbs come out and debate her, before agreeing to leave the audience until it was her turn to speak.
Speaking to reporters after an event with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, in Scottsdale last week, Lake again sharply criticized Hobbs for eschewing a statewide debate.
“[S]he’s trying to say it’s because I’m a conspiracy theorist,” Lake told reporters. “Then show up on the debate stage and call me out for goodness sakes.”
“We need a strong governor, not somebody who’s afraid to debate, not someone who’s afraid to even look at me,” she said.
“The volatility of her opponent is really breathtaking,” Fontes said of Hobbs, adding, “I trust her judgment on this one.”
Speaking with NBC News after addressing a “get out to vote” event at Arizona State University, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison said he “couldn’t ask for any better” candidates than Hobbs and Kelly.
“Part of what Mark has over Katie is that he had a 2020 race that was one of the hottest races in the country, where tens of millions of dollars was poured in,” Harrison said in an interview Wednesday. “So name ID is there. Katie’s running against Kari, who’s been on everybody’s television for a long time.”
Harrison said he believes both Democratic candidates will win because Arizonans are “not looking for the next Trumpian-type fools.”
Hobbs has yet to appear on the campaign trail with Kelly or Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who has kept her distance from state Democrats. The Kelly campaign told NBC News the senator does not have any imminent plans to campaign with Hobbs.
Resources could be a concern in the homestretch. Since the primary, Hobbs-aligned forces have outspent Lake and her allies by about $2 million, and the Democratic Governors Association has so far transferred at least $4.75 million to the Arizona Democratic Party to boost Hobbs. But, as of Tuesday, Lake and her allies have booked more than $6 million in advertising through Election Day, while Hobbs’ bookings are at least $4.9 million, according to AdImpact tracking.
Fontes said Arizona Democrats are often disregarded when compared to Democrats in other swing states because of Republicans’ lengthy history of winning in the state. With early voting set to begin Wednesday, he added time is of the essence for supporters to get off the sidelines.
“So if folks are going to pay attention to Arizona,” he said, “they need to start doing it now.”
Democrats told NBC News they are not — and have not been — discounting Lake’s candidacy, with one national Democrat working on the race describing her as “so polished and smooth and it takes you a second to suddenly realize what sort of unhinged things she’s saying.”
For all of Lake’s skill on the trail, Democrats are hopeful that her refusal to moderate her views will boost Hobbs in the purple-trending state that delivered Biden a narrow victory in 2020. Lake, who has falsely claimed Biden is an “illegitimate” president and has called abortion “murder,” has framed her campaign pitch more around crime, education, immigration and the economy in recent weeks.
At Trump’s rally in the state Sunday, she made clear she was still fully aligned with him: “I have some of these know-nothing consultants who say, ‘You know, you really need to back away from President Trump right now.’ And I say to them, ‘Put down Hunter’s [Biden] crack pipe right now.’”
Days earlier, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., urged Arizonans during a forum at Arizona State not to vote for Lake or Mark Finchem, the GOP candidate for secretary of state, because of their refusal to accept election results, saying if she lived in Arizona, she would back Hobbs and Fontes.
Chuck Coughlin, an Arizona Republican pollster, said there are some “traditional Republican voters that are going, ‘No f—ing way, I’m not going there. I’m not voting for Lake. I’m not voting for Finchem. I’m not voting for Masters.’”
Those voters could help Hobbs get over the hump. But Coughlin says her campaign “has yet to find its footing as to how to portray who she is.”
Rusty Bowers, the Republican speaker of the Arizona House who lost a state Senate primary after testifying before the House Committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and defied Trump’s wishes to overturn the election, said he won’t vote for Lake, or Finchem, because of their “juvenile” rejection of the 2020 election.
But while he is voting for Fontes, Bowers said he won’t vote for Hobbs because she was one of the more liberal members of the state Senate and will instead write-in a gubernatorial pick.
“That she would not debate her is puzzling to me,” he said of Hobbs’ decision to avoid sharing a stage with Lake rather than use the platform to highlight her falsehoods about the previous presidential election. “Just pound, pound, pound on 2020.”

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices on Wednesday invoked artists as diverse as Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci and rap band 2 Live Crew as they probed whether silkscreen prints that pop artist Andy Warhol made of rock star Prince infringed on the copyright of a photographer who captured the original image.
Some justices seemed skeptical that Warhol’s images constituted “fair use” under copyright law in part because they did not have a sufficiently different commercial purpose to the original photo taken by noted photographer Lynn Goldsmith: Both are used to illustrate magazine articles about Prince.
But other justices seemed concerned that an appeals court had minimized, or even ruled out, any analysis of whether Warhol’s work had a significantly different meaning or message to Goldsmith’s photo. As a result, one option might be to throw out that ruling and require the lower court to try again.

The lively oral argument, in which conservative Justice Clarence Thomas revealed he was once a Prince fan, concerns a legal question of considerable interest to people in all kinds of creative industries, including television, film and fine art. The court wrestled with how to define whether new work based on an existing one is “transformative” — meaning it does not violate copyright law. Under the law, limited “fair use” of a pre-existing artwork is lawful in certain contexts, including when the new work conveys a different meaning or message.
Goldsmith sued over Warhol’s use of her 1981 photograph of then-rising star Prince before he attained global fame on the back of hits like “Little Red Corvette” and “When Doves Cry.” As part of an arrangement with Vanity Fair magazine three years later, Warhol created a series of silkscreen prints as well as two pencil sketches based on Goldsmith’s image. While the original photo, a portrait of Prince, was black and white, the silkscreen prints superimposed bright colors over a cropped version of the original photo. The style was similar to other famous Warhol works, such as his portraits of Marilyn Monroe.
Under a license it had obtained from Goldsmith, Vanity Fair used a Warhol illustration based on the photo in its November 1984 issue without any problems arising. But Goldsmith said she was not aware that Warhol had created other images that were not licensed, a fact she only became aware of after Vanity Fair publisher Conde Nast used a different image as part of a 2016 Prince tribute immediately after the rock star’s death.
Warhol himself had died in 1987, and the relevant works and copyright to them are now held by the Andy Warhol Foundation, which permitted Vanity Fair to use the image in 2016. Goldsmith was not credited.
The following year the issue ended up in court, with Goldsmith and the foundation suing each other to determine whether Warhol’s image constituted fair use.

In 2019, a federal judge ruled in the foundation’s favor, saying that Warhol’s images were transformative because, while Goldmith’s photo showed a “vulnerable human being,” the Warhol prints depicted an “iconic, larger-than-life figure.”
The foundation sought Supreme Court review after the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Goldsmith in March 2021. The appeals court faulted the district court for focusing on the artist’s intent, saying a judge “should not assume the role of art critic.” Instead, a judge must examine whether the new work is of a completely different character to the original, the court said. It must, “at a bare minimum, comprise something more than the imposition of another artist’s style on the primary work,” the court added.
During Wednesday’s arguments, justices questioned whether Warhols’ image of Prince had a different purpose to Goldsmith’s because both are used in the same way commercially to illustrate articles about the singer. Under copyright law, courts weigh whether a new work will compete with the existing work and undercut its market value.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor questioned the Warhol foundation’s lawyer, Roman Martinez, on that issue, asking if the fact that the images effectively have the same market was enough to “destroy your defense.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch raised a similar point, noting that the Prince images were quite different from Warhol’s famous images of Campbell’s soup cans because the difference in purpose in the latter instance was obvious.
“Campbell’s soup seems to be an easy case. The purpose of the use for Andy Warhol was not to sell tomato soup in a supermarket. It was to induce a reaction from a viewer in a museum or in other settings,” Gorsuch said.
“The difficulty of this case is that this particular image is being used arguably, maybe, for the same purpose, to identify an individual in a magazine,” he added.
Not all the justices seemed to agree with that assessment, with Chief Justice John Roberts suggesting that Warhol’s images and Goldsmith’s photos could be seen as substantively different.
“It’s a different style. It’s a different purpose. One is a commentary on modern society. The other is to show what Prince looks like,” he said.
Justice Elena Kagan seemed to have a similar view, pointing to the fact that Warhol’s works are highly sought after by museums because “he was a transformative artist.”
Justice Samuel Alito questioned how much courts should defer to expert witnesses when deciding whether a work shows a different meaning. While an average person might view a copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in which the subject wears a different colored dress, an expert in Renaissance art might see it as transformative, he noted.
“You make it sound simple but maybe it’s not so simple, at least in some cases, to determine what is the meaning or message of a work of art,” Alito told Martinez.
The justices also debated a relevant Supreme Court precedent cited by both sides, a 1994 ruling in which the court held that it was fair use when 2 Live Crew created a song called “Pretty Woman” that was a parody of Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman. In another pop culture reference, Blatt brought up the value of spin-off works to the entertainment industry, citing TV shows that were based on the 1970s comedy “All in the Family,” which itself was based on a British sitcom.
Various interested parties have filed briefs advising the justices on what approach to take, including movie and music industry groups, educational institutions and individual artists. (Universal Pictures, a division of NBC News’ parent company NBCUniversal, is a member of the Motion Picture Association, which filed a brief in the case in support of neither party.)
The parties’ approach to the legal question depends in part on to what extent their work relies on protecting their own copyrighted material as opposed to making fair use of other people’s copyrighted content.
