<ul class="summary-list"><li>A GOP member of the Florida House of Representatives called trans people "demons and imps" on Monday.</li><li>Rep. Webster Barnaby made the comments during a debate about bathroom usage.</li></ul>A Florida Republican lawmaker made derogatory remarks about transgender Floridians on Monday, comparing them to "demons and imps" during a committee hearing.Rep. Webster Barnaby was speaking during a debate on a bill that would make it a second-degree misdemeanor offense for someone to use a bathroom that does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth.The <a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1521/BillText/c1/PDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Safety in Private Spaces Act"</a> would be enforced at educational institutions, public shelters, healthcare facilities, and other public spaces.Barnaby, a member of the Florida House of Representatives since 2020, spoke on the House floor after LGBTQ advocates and transgender Floridians argued against the bill, characterizing it as a tool for potential harassment, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/10/florida-republican-apology-transgender-comments-00091315">according to Politico.</a>"I'm looking at society today and it's like I'm watching an X-Men movie," Barnaby said, adding that it was as if there are "mutants" living on Earth.Barnaby, raising his voice, went on to say: "This is the planet Earth, where God created men, male, and women, female. I'm a proud Christian conservative Republican, I'm not on the fence."The Florida lawmaker, who has previously said <a href="https://m.facebook.com/VoteBarnaby/photos/a.252672619499481/301049001328509/">opening prayers for former President Donald Trump's rallies,</a> then went even further."The Lord, rebuke you Satan, and all of your demons and all of your imps that come and parade before us," he said. "That's right, I called you demons and imps, who come and parade before and pretend that you are part of this world.'Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the hearing appeared to be shocked by the comments, with Democratic state Rep. Kristen Arrington saying she was "thrown off" by Barnaby's remarks, per Politico."You're not an evil being," said state Rep. Chase Tramont, a Republican, addressing the speakers who opposed the bill, Politico reported.Shortly afterwards, Barnaby apologized for his anti-trans comments. "I referred to trans people as demons," Barnaby said, per Politico. "I would like to apologize to the trans community for referring to you as demons."Barnaby did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.The House advanced the proposal, putting Florida one step closer to <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/more-states-consider-bills-limiting-which-bathroom-trans-people-can-use" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joining the likes of North Carolina, Idaho, Iowa, and Arkansas</a> in passing bills that bar transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identities.

While the charges on NEFT, RTGS were waived off earlier this month, the bank has removed charges imposed on IMPS as well, starting August 2019. This is applicable to internet banking, mobile banking and YONO services. This move will bring cheer to its growing digital customer base. The bank has over 74 million digital users — including 14 million who access mobile banking services. Their customers also perform 18% of the total mobile banking transactions in the country. The waiver in NEFT, IMPS and RTGS charges will attract more customers towards digital transactions, the bank noted. "In sync with our strategy and Government of India’s vision to create a digital economy, SBI has taken this step to promote the use of YONO, internet banking and mobile banking for doing NEFT and RTGS transactions without incurring any cost,” P K Gupta, MD (retail &amp; digital banking) of SBI said. The bank had already reduced NEFT and RTGS charges for customers transacting through branch network by 20% across all slabs. Last month, the Reserve Bank of India(RBI) waived off its own charges for the transactions and directed banks to do the same.

For transfers up to Rs. 1,000, customers won’t need to pay any charges after, while transfers from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 1 lakh will be charged a fee of Rs. 5, exclusive of applicable goods and services tax (GST). For transfers from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 2 lakh, users would need to pay a charge of Rs. 15, plus applicable GST. SBI, however, isn’t the first bank to change its charges levied for various services post the implementation of GST, given that the new regime put banking and financial services under the tax bracket of 18%. Taking to the microblogging site Twitter, SBI announced that GST will remove the cascading effect of tax on prices of goods and services, thus reducing production costs.

It’s been just 10 days that <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword> redesigned its website, but looks like there is more on the mind of the SoftBank-backed company, as it looks forward to adding new features and further improving the user experience. 
 
As per reports, these new features would include product selfies, enhanced order-tracking and a new 'my order' page. 
 
"The product has been redesigned to improve the overall information architecture," Anand Chandrasekaran, chief product officer, told ET. 
 
Talking of 'product selfie', it allows users to post a selfie with the product they bought from the website. "We have had a phenomenal response to it so far as customers get to see actual people using the product," Chandrasekaran said. 
 
In the past six-seven months, Snapdeal has made extensive use of technology to improve efficiency and customer experience. As per the company claims, delivery times have been brought down by 70-75% in the past year because of investments done in the logistics company GoJavas. Also, refunds from the company are now based on the Immediate Payment Service (IMPS). 
 
"Since September 2015, 93% of refunds are being done within 30 minutes. It has been integrated with the wallet on the back-end to make the whole experience seamless for the customer," Chandrasekharan said. 
 
In addition to this, we have also seen smaller launches like SnapLite, which enables users with slow network connections to access a lighter version of the website, and Snapsearch, which allows users to upload pictures and find similar products on the website.

The workers asked not to be identified to avoid professional reprisal. Bloomberg was the first to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-03/tesla-s-top-data-executive-is-leaving-as-robotaxi-event-looms?srnd=all">report</a> on Saldi's departure. Tesla's director of public policy and business development Jos Dings announced on LinkedIn that he was leaving the company on October 1. On October 6, global vehicle automation and safety policy lead Marc Van Impe also announced on LinkedIn he had left Tesla. Both Dings and Van Impe had reported to Tesla's VP of public policy and business development, Rohan Patel, before he left the carmaker in April. They began reporting directly to Musk after Patel's departure. On LinkedIn, Dings said he was taking a career break, and Van Impe said he was moving into an advisor role at SpaceX. Van Impe had spent the past four years deploying Tesla's driver-assist technology in global markets, according to his LinkedIn. On October 4, Tesla's former Model S and Model X program manager, David Zhang, also told his followers on LinkedIn that he had left the company. Zhang's updated LinkedIn profile shows him parting ways with Tesla in July, but he hadn't commented publicly on his departure until Friday. The carmaker's former head of vehicle programs, Daniel Ho, formally announced on LinkedIn on September 29 that he had left Tesla and joined Waymo as its new programs director. Musk had previously announced Ho's departure in April. He was one of several executives who parted ways with Tesla after Musk said the company would reduce its headcount by more than 10%.

In total, Musk has lost eight of his direct reports at Tesla over the past year. The Tesla CEO oversees more than 30 direct reports. A spokesperson for Tesla did not respond to a request for comment. Some former workers attribute Tesla's high turnover rate to Musk's leadership style. "Every few years Elon comes in and slashes head count or there's a reorg, and it's like you have to build everything from scratch again," a former manager told BI. "People get burned out from keeping up that kind of pace." Another former top-level employee said a growing number of workers within the company no longer believe in Musk's vision, particularly after the billionaire turned his attention to his <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-reach-agreement-to-close-acquisition-deal-2022-10">Twitter acquisition in 2022.</a> "A lot of people at Tesla are just tired of all the noise," they said.

Internally, there has been little chatter among workers regarding the departures, seven employees told BI. "I think a lot of the company's focus right now is on the Robotaxi event," one Tesla employee said.

New Delhi [India], February 15 (ANI): The <keyword id="19899810" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reserve-bank-of-india" source="keywords">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> on Thursday restrained a <keyword id="20601951" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="card-network" source="keywords">card network</keyword> that had an arrangement to enable businesses to make card payments through certain intermediaries to entities that do not accept card payments. The central bank, however, did not specify the name of the card network. "It has come to the notice of <keyword id="19922074" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reserve-bank" source="keywords">Reserve Bank</keyword> of <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword> that a Card Network had an arrangement that enables businesses to make card payments through certain intermediaries, to entities that do not accept card payments. Under this arrangement, the intermediary accepts card payments from corporates for their commercial payments and then remits the funds via IMPS/RTGS/NEFT to non-card accepting recipients," the <keyword id="19899808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rbi" source="keywords">RBI</keyword> said in an official statement. "On closer scrutiny, it was observed that this arrangement qualified as a payment system. Under the provisions of Payment and Settlement Systems (PSS) Act, 2007, such payment system requires authorization under Section 4 of PSS Act, which has not been obtained in the instant case. The activity was, therefore, without legal sanction," it added. The central bank further said, "The arrangement has also raised following concerns: i) The intermediary in the above arrangement pooled large amount of funds into an account which is not a designated account under PSS Act and; ii) Transactions processed under this arrangement did not comply with the originator and beneficiary information requirements, as stipulated under Master Direction on KYC issued by the Reserve Bank." The RBI further stated that only one card network has operationalized this arrangement in the country so far. "As the matter is under detailed examination, the Card Network has been advised to keep all such arrangements under abeyance, till further orders," it said. Meanwhile, the central bank also clarified that it has not placed any restriction with respect to normal usage of business credit cards. (ANI)

Paying credit card bills on Paytm is simple, easy and functional. It can remind you when it’s time to pay, and can be used to pay multiple bills at the same time.

The app will ask you to enter the credit card number when you make a payment the first time, but it can remember the card after that. With the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) new guidelines in place, the cards will be saved with Visa, Mastercard, or another card issuer, and Paytm won’t actually store the details on its own servers. Once the card number is entered, the user will need to click ‘proceed’, to allow the app to automatically detect the bill amount by contacting your bank. The next step is simply to select one of the payment modes — UPI, net banking, debit card, etc — and make the payment. A decade ago, people had to go to an ATM and drop a cheque to pay their credit card bills, but the Internet made that simpler. And now, apps like Paytm are making this process easier by bringing different cards and different payment methods to the same medium. Add features like late fee protection and reminders on top, and you have perhaps the best way to make credit card payments.

Paytm makes it easier to pay credit card bills – here are five reasons why you should be using it

New Delhi, Apr 21 () After constantly rising for the past several months, the volume, as well as value, of transactions through UPI payment system dropped in March due to the 21-day nationwide lockdown imposed to combat the coronavirus infection. Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is an instant payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), an RBI regulated entity. UPI is built over the IMPS infrastructure and allows one to instantly transfer money to any bank account. According to the data, the volume of UPI transactions in March slipped to 124.68 crore from 132.57 crore in February. The value of UPI transactions too came down to Rs 2.06 lakh crore during March, from Rs 2.23 lakh crore in February. The number and value of transactions through the UPI had been constantly growing, barring marginal decline in some months. The 21-lockdown imposed by the government with effect from March 25 to fight coronavirus seems to have adversely impacted the transactions through UPI. The real impact, however, will be known once the transactions data for April is known. The lockdown has been extended till May 3, though with some concessions. The NPCI data on IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) revealed the number of transactions fell to 21.68 crore in March from 24.78 crore in the previous month. There was also a decline in the value of transactions during March to Rs 2.01 lakh crore from 2.14 lakh crore in February. IMPS provides real-time fund transfer which offers an instant, 24X7, interbank electronic fund transfer service that could be accessed on multiple channels like Mobile, Internet, ATM, SMS, Branch and USSD (*99#). The 24X7 IMPS empowers customers to transfer money instantly through banks and RBI authorised Prepaid Payment Instrument Issuers (PPI) across India through mobile phone, internet banking and ATM. Meanwhile, an RBI data revealed that value of Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) transactions shot up to Rs 120.47 lakh crore in March, up 34 per cent over February. The total value of RTGS transactions in February was 89.9 lakh crore. NKD MRMR
