Spain may end its "golden visa" programme that gives residency rights to foreigners investing in real estate. This is according to the leader a left-wing political party negotiating with the government on the issue.Inigo Errejon, the leader of the Mas Pais political party, told reporters that his party and the Social Security Ministry had reached an agreement to end the program.

Officials familiar with the discussions said that no agreement has yet been reached, as the ministry is still studying the proposals of political parties.El Pais reported earlier on Monday (8 May) that Spain is cons...

Harriette Cole: Is there anything I can do about my tough boss?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:22:58 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: I work for a woman who is so tough.At first, I thought this was great. She has risen up the ranks in our company and is one of the few women at the top. She has broken so many records, it isn’t funny. But she is almost impossible to talk to.I have never seen even a glimmer of softness. I don’t mean “girliness” or anything. I mean compassion or kindness. If you mess up on anything, you are guaranteed to be reprimanded publicly for it.I have been with the company for about a year now and have lived through a fair amount of her wrath. I have also noticed that most people don’t stick around too long.Should I try to get her to warm up to me? Or should I make a plan and move on when the opportunity presents itself? Very few people move up the food chain here. It’s almost like she only values leaders who come from somewhere else.Is It Worth It?Related ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: I can’t put up with her rants any long...

Miss Manners: This aggressive swimmer ruined my hotel pool time

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:22:58 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: What is the etiquette around sharing a hotel swimming pool?Today there were five people attempting to swim laps in the 25-meter pool. Two were thrashing up and down, and rather than using the lap lane, they each took up a third of the pool’s width. This left the three others to share the remaining third.The swimmer in the middle of the pool did not make any attempt to avoid other swimmers and nearly hit one of them each time he passed. He seemed to feel that his “need for speed” exempted him from polite sharing.This is a frequent problem for me at hotels. What to do?GENTLE READER: Etiquette dictates that people using common facilities should be courteous and share, and it leaves to local initiative the details of how this is to be accomplished. But as this is not specific enough to solve your problem, Miss Manners will add a few observations.Related ArticlesAdvice | Miss Manners: When we older folks make a pronoun slip, there’s c...

Fairfax Co. health official shares what to do as the COVID-19 public health emergency ends

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:22:58 GMT

For many people, spring is the time of year to go through homes, removing anything old and outdated. And with the COVID-19 public health emergency coming to an official end Thursday, it is also a good time to check the status of pandemic supplies.The Food and Drug Administration extended the shelf-life of some at-home COVID tests. However, using old or expired tests could mean an inaccurate result.“If your tests have expired and it’s been several months, they may not be reliable. So when you go ahead and take a test and it shows negative, it could be that the test is no longer valid,” said Dr. Parham Jaberi, deputy director for Medical Services at the Fairfax County Health Department.Jaberi said the tests also won’t be as reliable if they have been sitting in the closet for over a year, or in the garage, where temperatures can fluctuate. He suggests using the information on the FDA website to double check the expiration dates, to see if it can be used past the date printed on the ba...
