The brexit is through and Britain as part of the European Union history. After leaving the EU in the night from 31 January to 1 February 2020, no one can currently predict exactly how this step will affect the UK economy. As so often in life, there are positive and negative opinions on this issue.

Advantage for an investment in British equities: 0% withholding tax

For those who expect a positive development of the British economy and are prepared to invest in securities of UK companies, such an investment offers a decisive advantage. Unlike countries such as France, the Netherlands or Austria, the UK does not levy withholding tax on dividends paid into the accounts of private investors in Germany. Only the German capital gains tax and the solidarity surcharge are levied.

First-class dividend payers among British stock corporations

In addition to the currently favorable share prices, several British stock corporations are delighting their investors with substantial dividend payments. Those who enter the market at low prices can achieve a respectable dividend yield thanks to the attractive dividend to share price ratio. If the companies were to even increase the dividends paid in the future, this would result in a further increase in the yield.

3 British stock corporations with lavish dividends

BT Group (WKN 794796) British Telecom provides various telecommunications, network and IT services in more than 180 countries. At the same time, the company is one of the most important mobile phone providers. With an expected dividend of EUR 0.12 for the financial year 2019/2020 and EUR 0.13 for the financial year 2020/2021, shareholders of BT Group achieve a dividend yield of 6.8 and 7.3 percent respectively, based on a current share price of EUR 1.77 (as of 26 February 2020). BT Group’s share price could pick up again at the latest after the 5G network has been built.

SSE PLC (WKN 881905) Scottish & Southern Energy PLC is a natural gas and electricity company that is also active in the telecommunications sector. In 2018 the group’s turnover was GBP 31.23 billion. Despite a rapid rise in the share price between May 2019 and February 2020, which increased from its last 52-week low of EUR 11.52 on 24 May 2019 to a handsome EUR 20.46 on 19 February 2020, SSE shareholders can look forward to lavish dividend payments even with a current investment. While a dividend of EUR 0.98 can be expected for the 2019/2020 financial year, the dividend for the 2020/2021 financial year should even be EUR 1.00. At a share price of 19.17 euros (as of 26 February 2020), the dividend yield is 5.22 percent – a figure that is certainly not to be sneezed at.

Rio Tinto PLC (WKN 852147) The mining company Rio Tinto PLC, which operates in numerous countries, has been a reliable dividend payer for many years. Shareholders, who have invested their money in the company for a long time, benefit not only from the dividend but also from the increase in the share price in recent years. With a few setbacks, the value has more than doubled and a half from its low of just under EUR 20 at the beginning of 2016 to its previous high of EUR 56.53 on 4 July 2019. For the years 2019 to 2021, experts see slightly falling dividend payments, which should, however, lead to attractive returns due to their level. A dividend of 4.49 euros is expected in 2019, while 3.09 euros is expected in 2020 and 2.75 euros in 2021. Based on the current share price of 46.18 euros (as at 26 February 2020), this results in dividend yields of 9.72 percent for 2019, 6.69 percent for 2020 and 5.95 percent for 2021. If the share price continues to develop positively, the shares of Rio Tinto PLC would continue to generate juicy returns in the future, which are secured by high dividend payments.

Microsoft now distributes the Windows 10 November 2019 update in a next phase, for users in unmanaged environments. This is how it works.

Microsoft is now distributing the Windows 10 November 2019 Update for unmanaged environments. According to Microsoft, this version is available for all Windows 10 users who are looking for updates.

To do this, users must become active and open the “Settings” page from the Start menu in Windows 10. Then they must go to the Update and Security category > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Now, if the search under “Windows Update” is successful, the “Functional Update for Windows 10, Version 1909” entry should be displayed in the “Optional Updates Available” category. Only on Windows 10 clients that have known compatibility issues with the new 1909 version, the feature update is not offered.

Compared to the original release of Windows 10 November 2019 Update, very little has changed. Since November 2019, users have been able to download Windows 10 version 1909 as a feature update via the update search function or as an installation media via the Media Creation Tool (MCT) from the Microsoft web pages and then install it over an existing Windows 10 system.

Rollout accelerated

Microsoft apparently believes that two and a half months after the initial release, the time has come to offer this feature update for all versions of Windows 10. In fact, only Windows 10 version 1809 and version 1903 are still relevant, since the support for version 1803 has already expired on November 12, 2019 for Home and Pro.

The Windows 10 version 2004, expected for spring 2020, has been completed since December 2019 from the developer’s point of view and should be generally released by the beginning of April 2020 at the latest. So the delivery of the “old version” 1909 will be accelerated now.

Microsoft will automatically provide the feature update for controlled delivery for Windows 10 version 1909 for a larger number of devices running the October 2018 update (Windows 10, version 1809) in the Home and Pro Editions. This version is still in support for security updates, but Microsoft is now providing users of older Windows 10 versions the opportunity to upgrade to the November 2019 update.

Psychic awakening is a magical moment in life that connects you to your higher being. It leads you to receive guidance from your intuition. You can hardly find a reason to complain about it. But if you are feeling uncomfortable about your awakening, you should relax and read this article to know what exactly is happening with you. Soon, you would be able to enjoy your awakening and intuitive knowledge. Thank you to www.online-psychics.info to support us with this article.

  1. You & negativity

With awakening becoming more profound, you will be able to pick up on other people’s emotions. This is the state of being an empath. Because you can perceive negative feelings and emotions, you feel drained out when you are around such people. So, to honor your special powers, stay away from people whose emotions are negatively charged.

  1. You & the third-eye

You may feel pressure or a tingling sensation in the third-eye region. This is the location of an important chakra. The sensation means either your chakras are opening up or your sensing faculties are developing into clairvoyance.

  1. Losing old friends

The path leading to psychic awakening is a unique one and this is so that you can grow in your and realize the awakening. This new path may lead you away from your old friends, associations, and things. You should not complain or fret. The cosmos is creating new paths for you and it will put new friends in your paths. So, trust and continue on the path.

  1. You & spirit world

Do you feel the presence of spirits in your life? Do you feel even more connected with the spirit kingdom? Perhaps, now you are in a position to feel the presence of supernatural entity more easily. That means you are in affinity with the spirit world: angels, spirit guides, heaven-bound loved ones. Your psychic awakening can make you feel the presence of the spirits of the loved ones other people. For many people, psychic awakening and intuitive power begin at the same time.

  1. You & your foods

Have you noticed that you wish to eat a plate of salads more than potato wafers? When your intuitive gifts are becoming plentiful, your energy waves are at a higher frequency. To nourish and sustain such higher wavelengths of energy, you need to eat foods with higher vibes like veggies and fruits. These foods make sure your energy is light and benevolent. Some people are driven to choose a completely psychic diet.

  1. Wish to know more and be spiritual

People who have experienced psychic awakening try to know more about the metaphysical world. To them, even all the books in the world are just not enough. It’s because the awakening takes us closer to realizing the soul. The more we read and know about it the more we feel anchored and capable of leading a Zen life.

  1. Frequent vivid dreams

If you are dreaming more frequently or vividly, it may be a sign of awakening taking root in you. It happens because the dreams are facing resistance no longer. Your mind doesn’t question and counters it. In the day when you are awake, you tend to question your intuition or gut feeling but when you sleep and dream, your logical mind does not interfere. Keeping a dream diary in your bed can be a good idea.

  1. Heightened sensitivity

During the early stages of psychic awakening, the sensitivity of your physical senses shows dramatic improvements. You can see things from the corner of your eyes, you see twinkles, and your hearing sensitivity has increased. These may be the signs of psychic awakening and the fact that psychic gifts are becoming stronger.

  1. Intuitive hits

Having an intuition of what is going to happen or the third eye visualization is the sign that your gifts of intuition are awakening. It can be an exciting or scary experience. You can set your intuition to not send you any scary stuff but keep its gifts coming to you. Soon you will become accustomed to your new-found awakening.

  1. Headaches

Many people who are in the process of psychic awakening get headaches when their intuitions are opening up. This is caused by a greater flow of energy. An easy way to combat this is to dip your feet in warm water. It will move the energy away from your head to your feet. You can mix some essential oils or Epsom salt in the water.

Due to the COVID 19 crisis, many social activities are migrating to the Internet – and so a sense of community is emerging as in its best, early days.

Every few days, tens of thousands of Instagram users gather at a virtual dance party hosted by DJ D-Nice. The hugely popular Club Quarantine live streams have attracted celebrities from all corners of the Internet, including Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Mark Zuckerberg. Sometimes up to 150,000 people attended. For a few hours, teenagers danced to the same music as some of the richest people in the world.

We all love each other

For some, this phenomenon – the democratic aspect of it, the coming together of a huge community – awakens a feeling of déjà vu. The same feeling comes over you when you suddenly exchange back tips with strangers (currently the most important search term on Google in the US) or start a new chatroulette on Google Hangouts. Right now, everyone is alone, and everyone is united in being alone, and it feels as if the barriers between us on the Internet are disappearing.

Is this an illusion or has something really changed? That our online behaviour would not remain exactly the same was foreseeable. The corona virus has changed our lives dramatically. We are locked up at home, and any otherwise perfectly normal interaction – happy hours, hugs, kisses, voting for yourself or scratching an itchy spot on your face – is suddenly considered potentially deadly. Still, in an age of fierce trench warfare and heavy troll provocation, one might not have expected that the Internet would become beautiful again if everything moved there.

When social media was social

It is as if the clock is turned back to a time when things were even more serious on the web. Back then, the innovation of having a voice and being able to contact anyone around the world gave us a sense of endless opportunity and optimism. That was in the late 1990s and early 2000s, ahead of social media and smartphones. Back then, going on the Internet still meant using time wisely to seek community.

This can be seen in people’s renewed willingness to build virtual relationships. Before we became corrupted and distanced and disrespectful by social media, we took the Internet promise of happily random encounters much more seriously. Today it is cool again to hang out with random acquaintances (online, of course). People participate in video-conferences with others they have never seen before; there are events ranging from book clubs to happy hours to nightly flirting. Collective moments of creativity are shared on Google Sheets, people search for new pandemic pen pals and send softer, less obvious emails.

Postcards, answering machine, parcel

You can also see it in the revival of old relationships. Before sentimentality was replaced by an annual tidying up of Facebook friends, it was a pleasure to keep in touch with classmates from high school or to discover old primary school teachers. Today we think again of our old friends who are far away. Because on the internet it doesn’t make a difference anymore if you meet them or neighbours. And analogies are also being rediscovered: We send postcards, leave messages on the answering machine for the family and send emergency packages.

Of course these memories could be romantically transfigured. Bad guys existed even in the early days of the Web, says Andrew Sullivan, CEO of the non-profit Internet Society. But back then, “people were more careful about how they communicated online. Dial-up connections made it expensive to search endlessly through long forums, so time was better spent online. Also, initially only people with enough education, money and knowledge had access, so there were far fewer users.

When the current crisis is over, will the Internet still be a more beautiful and pleasant place? Leah Lievrouw, who is a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles and is concerned with social change and the Internet, is actually seeing an unprecedented sense of community emerging. “We realize that we don’t have to be physically present to mobilize,” she says. And that’s not because of the physical infrastructure, she says, but because of how we use the technology now.
