The evolution of Eco-friendly aircraft

Ever since the airline industry started booming in the late 20th century, aircraft manufacturers and their engineers have been constantly and iteratively improving the fuel efficiency of their aircraft. Especially after the oil crisis in the 1970s caused by a disruption in oil supplies from the Yom-Kippur War and the Iranian Revolution of 1979.

The nations who relied on the region’s energy exports such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S, Japan and western Europe suffered large shortages in petroleum supplies and in turn high prices. This event paved the way for high capacity fuel efficient aircraft such as the Boeing 747 and crippled the newly blossoming supersonic industry in the Concord. Being forced to create more fuel-efficient aircraft, manufacturers had to find innovative ways to improve the carbon footprint of aircraft.

Engines

Aircraft manufacturers frequently outsourced their engines from experienced companies such as Rolls Royce. Initially large airlines utilized turbo jet engines which consisted of an air inlet, compressor, combustion chamber and a turbine which propelled the aircraft of the time with loud jets of hot air rapidly escaping the exhaust nozzle. As turbo fan engines began to be refined to the point of feasibility, aircraft began adopting the more fuel efficient low-bypass turbofans of that era.

These engines were essentially the same as the turbo jet but they had a large ducted fan that fell before the compressors which provided most of the thrust. The bypass ratio of a turbofan is the ratio of the mass flow rate of the “bypass stream” (Flow of air around the compressor, combustion chamber and turbine) to the mass flow rate entering “the core” (compressor, combustion chamber and a turbine). The higher the bypass ratio and the internal temperature of the combustion chamber and turbine, the more thrust can be produced by the engines.

Engineers have been continually increasing the bypass ratio and the maximum internal temperature of the core in order to increase thrust and fuel efficiency. Some innovations such as the chevrons on the engine nacelles of some Boeing aircraft reduce sound levels but also reduce thrust, this shows exactly how engineering is a tug of war battle with physics.

Wings

Airline manufacturers have been copying nature for efficient air foils (the cross section of a wing that produces a pressure difference on either side which results in lift or downforce).

The wingtips of aircraft have had a larger emphasis on the fuel efficiency and stability recently. On the tips of wings there are areas of “bleeding” where the high-pressure air beneath the wing is able to flow around the outside of the wing to the low-pressure air above creating vortices (spirals of air) which increased drag and diminished lift at the tip of the wing. Wing tips acted as barriers to prevent the air from reaching the top of the wing or to shift the vortices away from the wing.

Newer more complex wingtips are being tested and fitted to existing aircraft and new aircraft which also help increase lift and in turn increase fuel efficiency.

Possible aircraft innovation

Obvious improvements like solar panels incorporated to aircraft are being considered, however there are multiple areas of improvement such as the use of electric engines but there are no batteries with a high enough capacity right now but there will always be improvements made by the genius engineers behind each aircraft.

Unemployment in India- Problems and Solutions

Unemployment basically refers to the state where an individual is deprived of work in order to attain livelihood in the form of income. This problem is witnessed basically in overpopulated countries where population is quite large in comparison to its limited resources. The economy of a country suffers setback because of employment which plays a major part in the development of a country. Every country has a different way of dealing towards this problem like for example in India there was a scheme of 1000 rupees per month as an unemployment allowance announced by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh in 2012 for poor youth who can maintain their studies. Similarly Universal pay Income of 5000 Rupees per unemployed by the Indian Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the Lok Sabha 2019 Election Campaign was an effective plan since that would motivate the unemployed youth to a large extent and would have curbed in the prevention of various crimes as the youths would have found themselves in a state of business. Mostly youth commit crime owing to the fact of not having enough economical support from the government. There is lack of social development too responsible for this problem. For example- In India this problem is mainly because of lack of institutions such as Health care and Education which nearly accounts for certain percentage of employment. Doctors and teachers are finding themselves in a state of bother as far as the employment area is concerned.

Employment generation takes place by investing in institutions of maximum percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health and education also assisted with providing special training to the teachers and medical practitioners which in turn lead to the overall development and construction of nation, since a healthy and educated individual will only be able to tackle his needs and requirement on a day to day basis. Globalisation of education and health care would also culminate in bringing new brains and would liquidate the economy of a country. The problem of unemployment is quite grave which can be traced to old times, under-developed countries are facing ever worse condition than those of developing nations. Developed countries does not seem to face this issue owing to their holistic development with limited population and huge resources, these countries attract brain drain from other countries on a large scale owing to limited manpower. For any country to prosper, population control should be initiated since large population leads to shortage of resources per individuals which result in various negative activities like theft, murder, extortion, money- laundering, thug, dacoity etc for the sake of money along with land related offences. All these penal problems as mentioned are stated in Indian Penal Code, 1860 the trial is conducted and justice too is given but the work to curb all this is the reason of unemployment and the concerned connected laws associated with it. There should be population control law should be made in the concerned legislature of any country which Indian Government is failing to do so currently. There was a time in India when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister the law related to population control was initiated but that did not last long. The current Indian Government apparently seems to neglect the important issues that can generate the employment like Health Care and Education as already mentioned along with Agriculture, Industrial development etc which generates employment in the form of labour, manpower and resources on a large scale. There should be unemployed allowance of which the womens should be provided more in comparison so that they can process their maintenance of livelihood also can maintain themselves. The problem of unemployment and initiating laws to tackle it is being neglected by the Indian Government.

To conclude, the unemployment contains lots of negatives and if not handled by the concerned nations it would be quite fatal in the near future. Example of India with 135 crores of population where there is lots of income disparity, currently there is no room being visible of employment. The Indian government is not focussing on developing infrastructure such as agriculture, medical health care, school construction, proper education which constitutes greatly for employment. Employment is the problem to every negative activities of crime as already mentioned earlier. Once there is development of institution there will be demand for manpower which will assist in problem of solution of unemployment along with the population control policy. Last but not the least the government should involved big players of corporate house under corporate social responsibility to come forward and aid the poor in getting the employment by collaborating with government to build institution effectively. With all these points, it is quite clear and evident that problem of unemployment is not impossible to solve yet it requires special concern from the government.

Why rich people from Israel should invest in Dubai and UAE

The announcement of the Abraham Accord last year was a watershed moment for Middle East relations and could change the course of the region’s future. Trade negotiations between both nations have opened up already, and in a matter of months there will be direct flights operating as well. We are already seeing significant levels of interest from Israeli investors, but what is it that makes the UAE such a great investment option for them?

Lifestyle & Culture

Both the UAE and Israel are known for their rich, diverse and vibrant lifestyles. You can experience the very best of nightlife, dining and culture, enjoying a wealth of options that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere in the region. There are a few key differences between the offerings in each nation, which is what makes their collaboration such a unique opportunity.

While Israel has a large number of homegrown restaurants and food concepts that highlight Mediterranean cuisine, the UAE offers an incredible breadth of restaurants. You have everything from eateries that specialize in Emirati cuisine to European-style cafes and high-profile restaurants run by Michelin-starred chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Vineet Bhatia and Nobu Matsuhisa. For the adventurous diner, there is no shortage of choice when it comes to enjoying an indulgent night out.

Nightlife is another key factor that unites these two nations - clubs and bars across the UAE are always popular amongst the nation’s night owls. And now with a newly announced ruling that will remove the need for a legal license in order to purchase alcohol, we can expect that the nightlife scene will be even more popular. For residents of Israel, who have never had any restrictions on purchasing alcohol other than a legal age limit, this is very welcome news.

All that being said, the lifestyle attractions of the UAE are not limited to gourmet dining and clubbing. For lovers of culture, history and the arts, the UAE has proven to be a truly fascinating and enriching destination. There are several museums located around the country, from the globally renowned Louvre Abu Dhabi to the lesser known Dubai Coffee Museum. Music festivals and performances are held throughout the year (though less often at present as a consequence of COVID-19), and the Dubai Opera House doubles as a cultural hotspot and tourist attraction because of its unique architectural design.

Since its earliest days, the UAE has always had an eye on the future, transforming itself from a simple fishing village into a major global destination. Over the past decade, the country’s investment in the future has only intensified, as it promotes Smart initiatives aimed at creating a technologically advanced society. Israel has charted a similar path for itself, focusing on innovation and invention to become a key player on the world stage.

The prowess of both countries is evident in their grand ambitions when it comes to design - whether it is the skyline of Dubai or Tel Aviv, you will find some truly stunning examples of architecture that were a combination of creativity and innovation. However, that is merely a small part of it - Israel invests heavily in technology and electronic systems, primarily for defense but with broader applications. The UAE is a tech giant in the region, and is always looking for ways to scale up its digital infrastructure. As the UAE places greater emphasis on developing artificial intelligence and sustainable design initiatives, there are greater opportunities for investment for tech-savvy Israelis who are looking to stay on the cutting edge of technological advancement.

Economy & Taxation

Israel boasts a strong economy that has been on a steady rise over the past five years. While the COVID pandemic has proven to be a setback, the outlook for 2021 is positive with a growth of over 4% being forecast. The UAE has weathered its own challenges since the global recession and the pandemic, remaining resilient throughout. It will take some time for the economy as a whole to stand firmly on its feet again, but the real estate market is very hot and has been transacting at record levels since the last quarter of 2020.

Cost of living in Israel is largely higher compared to the UAE - you would need to spend USD 1,000 more on average to enjoy the same quality of life in Tel Aviv that you would have in Dubai. Residents of Dubai typically have almost 30% more purchasing power than those of Tel Aviv, and prices are anywhere from 20% to 40% lower depending on the category of goods.

Why to invest in Dubai and UAE?

Dubai offers one of the highest rental yields in the world. Compared to global property destinations, the cost of purchase is lower in Dubai while generating higher rental yield.

In the first half of 2018, Dubai saw AED 111 billion worth of real estate transactions, and with the recent announcement of 10-years visas being granted to investors, the total investment into the city by the end of the year is expected to be monumental. No matter what direction the market turns, Dubai has maintained its position as a solid choice for investors the world over. But what makes this city such an attractive prospect?

Central Location

Dubai, and indeed the UAE, sits in a very strategic location on the world map. It is roughly a six-hour flight from most of the major cities in the East and the West, offering a convenient waypoint for those who are crossing the globe and serving as a hub for local businesses who want to expand in either direction.

Booming Tourism Industry

Although Dubai has seen more people settling into the city as long-term residents over the past few years, it still remains one of the top tourist destinations in the world. With world-class attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah and some of the most well-reputed hotels in the world, there is no shortage of wonders to experience. As Expo 2020 looms on the horizon, Dubai will continue to add even more lifestyle offerings that will keep the crowds coming in.

City of Innovation

Dubai is always looking to the future and trying to find ways to bring that into the present. New communities are being developed to create a more sustainable living experience for residents, new roadways are being constructed to keep the city better connected, and with its ongoing ‘smart city’ and ‘happiness’ initiatives, Dubai aims to make every aspect of life in the city hassle-free. There are also the architectural innovations, such as Dubai Creek Tower, which will eventually dwarf the Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Frame, the 150-meter tall ‘photo frame’ tower that creates a visual link between the older and newer parts of the city.

10-Year Investor and Golden Visa

Earlier this year, it was announced that investors into Dubai and employees of certain skilled professions would be granted 10-year residence visas. Needless to say, this is a major game changer for Dubai’s economy. Committing to such a long-term residence option shows the level of confidence that Dubai has in investors and signifies just how secure an investment into the city ultimately is. It was also announced that businesses in the UAE would no longer require a majority shareholder of local nationality, which will undoubtedly lead to a rise in entrepreneurship and homegrown businesses.

Strong Regulatory Framework

This announcement is just the latest addition to a strong framework of laws and regulations that are designed to protect an investor’s interests in Dubai. This is especially true in the property market, where the Dubai Land Department and its regulatory body, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) continue to implement rules that ensure property developers deliver on their promises in a timely manner.

This is especially true in the property market, where the Dubai Land Department and its regulatory body, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) continue to implement rules that ensure property developers deliver on their promises in a timely manner.

Safety & Security

Dubai is also known as one of the safest cities to live in the world, with a very low crime rate and an efficient legal system. People from all walks of life can come to the city and not have to worry about anything. Even with political turmoil raging in many parts of the world and across the region, the UAE has remained a haven for those living there.

Tax-Free Investment

Another major benefit of investing in Dubai, especially in the real estate market, is the lack of property tax. Although VAT was introduced earlier this year, it is still negligible in terms of overall costs and does not apply to residential property purchases. So you can buy a villa or apartment anywhere in the city and be assured that you won’t have to part with a portion of your returns each year.

Great Britain imposed sanctions against the head of the Russian Railways, the representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Kalashnikov concern

The UK authorities have added 26 more individuals and legal entities from the Russian Federation to the sanctions list. This was reported on the website of the British government.

The sanctions, in particular, included Oleg Belozerov, General Director of Russian Railways, Igor Konashenkov, official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Alexander Chupriyan, acting head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Alexei Pimanov, head of the Krasnaya Zvezda media holding, Andrey Serdyukov, commander of the Airborne Forces, Anton Kuprin, commander of the Moskva cruiser.

Restrictions have also been introduced against 10 structures, including those of a defense profile. Among them are the Kalashnikov Concern, TsNIIMash and NITI named after Aleksandrov.

At the moment, more than 1.3 thousand individuals and legal entities from Russia are on the British sanctions list, Interfax notes.

UK plans to impose new sanctions against Russia this week

The UK is set to impose new sanctions on Russia this week "as it seeks to increase pressure on the administration of President Vladimir Putin after the invasion of Ukraine"

According to the source, the new restrictions will presumably affect Russian military and defense companies, as well as oligarchs.

In addition, he informed that the UK is also considering the possibility of raising tariffs on a number of Russian goods. Among other things, sanctions are possible "against individuals and organizations that disseminate Russian disinformation."

The UK has already imposed the widest set of sanctions on Russia since its invasion of Ukraine in February. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government is working with other G7 countries and the European Union to agree on a regular set of new sanctions and trade restrictions.

The EU, for its part, is currently working on its sixth round of sanctions, with discussions on restrictions on oil imports and cutting off more Russian banks from the SWIFT international financial messaging system.

Earlier it was reported that the US may also introduce new anti-Russian sanctions this week.

On February 24, Russia launched a military special operation in Ukraine, the purpose of which was called the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the neighboring country.

Great Britain, Canada and the United States announced the provision of artillery systems to Ukraine

On April 19, representatives of the NATO and EU countries held a meeting on the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, after which a number of countries announced a decision to provide the Ukrainian military with artillery systems. It is reported by CNN.

The meeting via secure video link was attended by US President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi , Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

After talking to allies during a speech in the British House of Commons, Johnson said that the war in Ukraine had become an "artillery conflict" and announced that the UK would provide artillery systems to Ukraine, the BBC reported.

The Prime Minister stressed that the kingdom will increase the supply of "the military equipment that is especially needed now" to the Ukrainian military.

Artillery systems are one component of the UK's aid to Ukraine, Johnson explained.

Biden answered "yes" to a question from reporters whether he plans to supply more artillery to Ukraine, CNN reports.

Trudeau also announced his intention to help Ukraine with artillery systems. According to him, it will be heavy artillery, writes Reuters.

Britain will not offer Russia to exchange Medvedchuk for two British prisoners

Aiden Eslin and Sean Pinner

Britain does not intend to enter into negotiations with Russia on the exchange of Viktor Medvedchuk for two British legionnaires who were captured in Mariupol, Cabinet Minister Brandon Lewis said in an interview with Sky News.

Lewis declined to confirm that the government was working to return British prisoners to the UK, explaining that he could not comment on "national security matters".

The minister also said about the citizens of Great Britain who were captured by the Russians, that "they should not have been there (in Ukraine)."

On the prospect of exchanging the British for Medvedchuk, who is currently detained by the Ukrainian special services, Lewis recalled that the process of imposing sanctions against people close to the Putin regime is underway, and in this context, "it is strange to think about how you can help Russia."

The Minister recalled that the government strongly discourages British citizens from traveling to Ukraine, even to help her in the conditions of the Russian invasion. He said that "the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive the support of the UK, and we will continue to provide this support."

On April 18, Russian television showed footage of British citizens Sean Pinner and Aiden Eslin allegedly taken prisoner in Mariupol.

Britain plans to transfer Stormer rocket launchers to Ukraine

The British government plans to transfer Stormer armored rocket launchers to Ukraine to launch Starstreak missiles.

The Stormer HVM mount has an eight-round launcher on the roof and has space inside to accommodate eight more missiles. These missiles are capable of shooting down enemy aircraft and helicopters flying at low altitude.

Experts call them "the best complex" sent by the Western state.

According to sources, the British Ministry of Defense demonstrated the operation of the machines to Ukrainians at an exhibition in Salisbury Plain two weeks ago.

The 13-ton high-tech launchers are expected to be loaded onto C-17 transport aircraft and sent to war in a matter of days.

They only need a crew of three - a driver, commander and gunner.

The deployment of the "Group Stormer" along with the 120 armored personnel carriers already promised would mean a significant increase in heavy weapons from the UK.

So far, Western states have provided only man-portable weapons.

"It's no secret that Britain has pledged to help Ukraine with its air defense capabilities. The Secretary of Defense (Ben Wallace) will make a statement in Parliament this week," the source said.

Colonel Richard Camp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, said: "The Stormer/Starstreak combo will be a huge boost to Ukraine's combat capabilities."

"This is an extremely effective, highly mobile combat vehicle that will seriously damage any low-level attack attempts by Putin's Air Force," he added, and warned that information about the transfer of such equipment would anger the Russian Federation.

Played a homemade bowl: a British teenager raised 300 thousand dollars for the children of Ukraine

12-year-old British teenager Gabriel Clark created a self-made "Cup for Ukraine", on which there are two lines - yellow and blue - they symbolize the Ukrainian flag, and put it up for the lottery, saying that the proceeds will go to help the children of Ukraine. The lottery raised over $287,000.

Gabriel hoped to raise at least $8,000 for the Save the Children call, but very quickly the homemade bowl with yellow and blue lines went viral on social media. Thousands of people took part in the drawing, and already today they randomly chose the winner who will receive the "Cup for Ukraine".

In 48 hours of the lottery, the young Briton increased his number of subscribers from 6,000 to 227,000, who contributed a total of $287,000.

In addition, Gabriel Clark's "Cup for Ukraine" has received a lot of support on the Internet from the public and celebrities, including Stephen Fry and actor Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter.

In Instagram and Twitter posts, Gabriel and his father thanked the donors who helped support the lottery. In the video, a 12-year-old boy said: "I can't say anything but thank you."

"Thank you kind people of Twitter for all you have done. Your generous generosity has shone a light in these dark times and changed the lives of young people - not least Gabriel," his father wrote.

Earlier, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle supported the Ukrainian team at the opening of the Invictus Games in The Hague and congratulated them with the patriotic slogan "Glory to Ukraine!".

Work and housing. Britain has created a manual for the adaptation of Ukrainians in the country

Information for refugees available in three languages

The UK government has published a guide to help Ukrainian refugees settle down upon arrival in the country.

It is clarified that such benefits are available for refugees in Ukrainian, Russian and English.

In the guide, you can find out:

what you should know in the first few days after arriving in the country;

how Ukrainians get used to life in the UK;

how to find a house in the country;

where to access essential public services such as healthcare;

how and where to find a job;

childcare;

educational services and opportunities for refugees in the UK;

information for those who arrive under the "Home for Ukraine" program.

You can also download information about the British Red Cross.

It is reported that such information will be useful to citizens of Ukraine who have recently arrived in the UK to understand their rights and learn about the most useful services that they can access during their stay in this country.

Blockchain Legal Issues

The more the blockchain technology arises, the more are its legal issues.

The arrival of Blockchain technology brings along with it the murkiness of how the American legal system will treat such technology; before the rise of mentioned technology, businesses were uncertain on how courts would treat electronic records and signatures until the federal legislature enacted the E-Sign Act on June 30, 2000. Nowadays, most of the states in the US are employing electronic contracting more and more compared to the past.

“smart contract” term which is included in contracts prevents courts from denying contracts legal validity. Beyond when and how legislatures and courts will solidify blockchain Blockchain as a valid platform or contracting, there are other possible legal questions and ramifications for the use of this technology in the supply chain. Some possible areas of legal considerations follow below.

Due Diligence on Blockchain

due diligence, is the work of investigating, auditing, or review performed to confirm facts or details of a matter under consideration, and when it comes to investing, this process is done to see whether the assumptions under which a decision is being considered are true;

Hence one of the main goals of Blockchain is to ease transactions, and the main advantage of this technology is being decentralized, the process of the due diligence is WAY easier than other legal acts!

For sure, cryptocurrency has a lot of ups and downs so you’d better know exactly what you are going to do.

In any case, a good combination to shoot for is a project with enough runway and experience to protect itself (should trouble arise), set in a jurisdiction that’s flexible but friendly towards blockchain initiatives. Moreover, you should find out about what gives value to a project and it is declared in the project’s written statement called white paper.

Governance of the Bitcoin

To resolve disputes in the Bitcoin network, unlike other political decision-making processes, in addition to open and free entry and exit, every participant can fork the codebase or the blockchain and create her version of Bitcoin and try to persuade other users to follow her version of the chain or a code. One way of storing information related to this issue is also totally explained in the mentioned article.

Jurisdictional boundaries are not a barrier for this technology, but some issues should be considered. Blockchain has the ability to cross jurisdictional boundaries as the nodes on a blockchain can be located anywhere in the world. LegaMart can confidently handle such legal issues in case a lawyer is needed.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO)

A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), sometimes called a decentralized autonomous corporation (DAC), is an organization represented by rules encoded as a computer program that is transparent, controlled by the organization members and not influenced by a central government, in other words they are member-owned communities without centralized leadership.

In Conclusion

Major and prominent shifts such as blockchain are not something easy to make. It will take additional challenges for different areas of law practice and their applicability. Lawyers and courts will encounter different and new obstacles and cases due to that.

On the one hand, having this kind of interaction as everyday practice makes it easier to prove facts that cannot be changed without a trace On the other hand, to see all the changes made chronologically in a more transparent, accessible, and uncomplicated way. All this makes the process of determining responsibility simpler and easily accessible. Legamart advisory is available to help you out with your legal issues.

Gender Bias in the Legal Professions

March 6th, International Women’s Day, may be a good inciter to scrutinize Women’s status from different angles. It has been analyzed by LegaMart team in one of their articles. LegaMart is a legal online platform with the goal of connecting lawyers and those in need, regardless of their location or the language that they speak.

Gender Gap in the Legal profession

Although number of women in the legal profession has increased significantly over the past 30 years, evidence shows that women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions. Today there are more women in law school than ever before, but men still lead when it comes to private practice, making up about two-thirds of attorneys in this sector of the legal profession. According to a study, women are nearly fifty percent of associates at law firms throughout the United States. However, they are only 22.3% of partners and nineteen percent of equity partners. Government employment figures for 2019 show that women made up 48% of the workforce in England, Scotland and Wales.

Gender Wage Gap in the Legal Profession

This situation is true even about different gender’s income. Further data shows that the higher the compensation level, the greater the pay increase favored men. Even if women make it to this top level, they still earn less than male equity partners. According to a 2022 report, approximately 2.4 billion women of working age are not afforded equal economic opportunity, and 178 countries maintain legal barriers that prevent their full economic participation.

There are several Common barriers that women face in their legal career. This includes: Glass Ceiling, Work-Life balance issues, Stereotypes, and Lack of networking and mentorship.

Over the past few decades, gender inequality in the legal profession has been of notable attention. The issue has not largely been viewed as one central to the profession, and the hypocrisy that arises from the devotion to the preservation of rights and equality while maintaining a sexist status quo has not been illuminated.

Obviously, some progress has been made in this field. Despite the merits and the talent of so many female legal professionals, they still don’t reach the most senior positions across the legal sector mainly due to discriminatory obstacles placed in their paths.

To sum it up, this issue directly clashes with the principles defended by the legal profession. The legal sector cannot afford this contradiction and should lead by example. With the advance of raising general awareness around gender discrimination and stereotypes, it is time for increased action. This issue is of great consideration to LegaMart.

London vows to 'play a role' in security guarantees for Ukraine

British Permanent Representative to the United Nations Barbara Woodward spoke to reporters following a meeting of the UN Security Council, which took place on Tuesday, March 29.

Answering a question about the position of London regarding the provision of security guarantees for Ukraine, she stressed that such actions would be possible if requested by Kyiv.

"We want to help in every possible way ... And we would be happy to play a role in this if the Ukrainian government asks us to do so," Woodward said, adding that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is currently talking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky " almost daily."

Family Law in Digital Era

A point to consider is social media’s effect on divorce! People can get emotional support on different platforms of social media. According to divorce lawyers, what you post or share can be used against you someday in the courtrooms or they can be twisted!

The potential effects of the digital footprint left by people, especially on family law disputes from the perspective of divorce lawyers are scrutinized in LegaMart’s article, out of which a summary is provided.

Divorce Lawyers Say: Be Careful about What You Post!

As social media users are getting more and more per day, the evidence presenting in the court is not limited to physical type anymore. Furthermore, social media has become such a force in family law that divorce lawyers usually spend as much time researching Facebook pages as they do reviewing and analyzing relevant case law. Of course, we should not take it as something easy and simple! Some factors like relevancy, materiality, and authentication of social media evidence should be taken into consideration in order to prove an evidence as a valid one.

What Do the Divorce Lawyers Advise You to Do?

There are different tips to take into consideration as brought up in the above mentioned article, while some of them are here: Keep in mind that some kinds of social media can indicate the users’ location through the metadata. Moreover, according to Madison Kelly, a divorce lawyer, “where full and frank disclosure is not being provided: A LinkedIn account may show that a party either is, or has been employed somewhere that they had previously not disclosed”.

Final Remarks from the Perspective of Divorce Lawyers

To conclude, no one can ignore the impacts of internet and social media on our lives, particularly on family law related disputes. As a result, you should be careful! Above all, if you are a divorce lawyer, keep this issue in mind to represent your client effectively. You can print a Chain of texts and submit to the court. So, divorce lawyers should advise their clients to withdraw from the public eye in divorce proceedings. Be cautious!
