If you are among the millions of borrowers who have not fully made federal student loan payments after the on-ramp period ended September 30, 2024, take action now. Otherwise, the loan may default to July or August. If the borrower’s payment expires 270 days before the deadline, the student loan will default. That status can have serious consequences, including wage decorations, credit damage, and loss of access to affordable repayment plans. For each Ministry of Education data, nearly 5.6 million borrowers were 180 days behind on payments as of March 31. This means they are at the risk of defaulting…
TALHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) – Most lawmakers packed their bags and went home last week, but budget chairs are being blocked in Tallahassee to finish work as they don’t have a final budget. More than a month has passed since the original budget deadline on May 2nd, and frustration over the extension process remains. The governor admitted the delay Monday at a press conference in Crawfordville. “Everyone is just waiting in the state capital. It seems they know the Vatican. There is white smoke. When is the budget? Do you have a budget?” Desantis removed. State senators hope that negotiations will…
“The Life of Chuck” reminds us that we have a unique variation with “It’s A Wonderful Life,” a smooth but epic reminder for taking dance lessons as much as possible. There is also a third reminder. Someone’s eye rolls are shattered and beautiful reminders that life is beautiful, perhaps harsh, sometimes lonely, and filled with the wrong turns where the apocalypse may approach. But it’s beautiful. This latest Stephen King screen adaptation is written and directed by Mike Flanagan, best known for Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House.” All these elements find a home somewhere in the running time of…

The 16 emperor Penguins were transported from Sea World San Diego to Florida, and Orlando became the only place in the Western Hemisphere where people could check them out.

There is a distinctive tension within almost every frame created by writer-director Wes Anderson. Geometric visual preconceptions of framing. Actors are sometimes moving, but more often. The manifestation of storytelling as a series of the cleanest shoebox dioramas in modern cinemas: it’s more than style or appearance to Anderson. It is his way of looking at the world through the lens of comics at the edge of the realm of art installation. The tension in these images comes from two locations. Unhappy Place: When you spit out tension for cartoon jokes or laughter, or when you go sideways, it sometimes…

Best of Five. After Edmonton’s first two games were split into the middle, the Stanley Cup finals were all equal in one game, eventually progressing to the sunrise of games 3 and 4. Game 3 at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday is another classic with the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers working overtime in each of the first two games of the series. “That’s what you play,” Nico Miccola said. “All the pressure is on both teams. That’s what it should be, and the two best teams oppose each other. It’s going to be tight.” To see what’s happening around…

It won Best New Musical on the night when Kara Young made history as the first black man to win two Tonys in a row for “purpose.” Starring Darren Criss and Helen J. Shen, “Maybe Happy Ending” represents the relationship between two abolished robots, and provides an explanation of the human theme and the passage of time. We won six major Tonys.

AP Technology Writer Michael Liedtke Cupertino, Calif. (AP) — After leaving the gates of Big Tech’s pivotal race to leverage artificial intelligence, Apple attempted to regain its footing at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The presumed ritual that attracted thousands of developers from nearly 60 countries to Apple’s Silicon Valley headquarters has been more modest than the enthusiastic expectations that have surrounded the event over the past two years. In 2023, Apple unveiled a mixed reality headset that is just a niche product, and last year WWDC trumpeted its first major foray into the AI trend with a set of…
