Australia's Home Affairs Minister, Clare O'Neil, has unveiled comprehensive reforms aimed at reshaping the country's migration system, addressing perceived issues. The government plans to implement stringent visa rules over the next two years to reduce immigration, focusing on both international students and skilled workers.

For Australia Student Visa, the new policies mandate higher English proficiency scores, requiring Graduate visa applicants to achieve 6.5 (up from 6.0) and student visa applicants to attain 6.0 (up from 5.5). The changes also involve increased scrutiny on second visa applications.

In the realm of Australia Work Visa, the government intends to introduce the "Skills in Demand Visa," replacing the existing temporary skill shortage visa. This four-year visa offers three pathways based on skill levels, catering to specialists, core skills, and essential skills, with associated income criteria. The government anticipates a positive fiscal impact, projecting an addition of $3.4 billion to the budget over the next decade through these new pathways.

Sonam is a Bhutanese name denoting merit, longevity and good fortune. The name Yangden, meaning precious jewel, signifies prosperity and wellbeing.

The naming ceremony was held at Tashichhodzong on the anniversary of His Majesty’s accession to the Golden Throne in 2006. The ceremony was presided over by His Holiness the Je Khenpo. His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, Their Majesties the Queen Mothers and Members of the Royal Family were present for the ceremony. 

Representatives of the Dratshang offered Ku Sung Thugten Mendrel. The Dzongdas, Thrizins, and Lam Netens of twenty dzongkhags, representing the people of Bhutan, made buelwa offerings. 

Her Royal Highness, the third child of Their Majesties The King and Gyaltsuen, was born on September 9 this year.

The journey to Chumphu Ney was a memorable experience for me and my family. The hike, lasting 4 to 8 hours, unfolded through serene forests, offering shade and a cool breeze that made the walk enjoyable.

Reaching the temple, we were captivated by the presence of Dorji Phamo, the "floating" goddess. The medium to steep climb added an element of adventure, and witnessing a money note smoothly pass beneath her feet left us in awe of the sacred atmosphere.

Exploring the Guru Rimpoche Caves felt like stepping back in time, imagining the meditation practices of Guru and his consorts. The waterfalls, believed to be Guru's bathing place, and the rock opening considered the gates of Heaven, added a sense of wonder to our visit.

Inside the temple, the caretaker shared fascinating details about the floating statue, emphasizing its mysterious origins and the belief that wishes made beside greed come true. The prohibition of photography inside the temple heightened the sense of reverence.

Venturing beyond the temple, we discovered the caves used by Guru Rinpoche and his consorts, each resonating with spiritual history. The small lake, carved into the rocks with a beautiful waterfall, and the rock opening believed to be Heaven's gateway provided moments of tranquility and reflection.

Sharing this experience with my family was truly special. Recommending this hike to others is not just about the physical journey; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in the spiritual and serene ambiance of Chumphu Ney, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who embark on this adventure.

In a quest to bridge theory with reality, I guided my students through an application of trigonometry: measuring the height of a flagpole. We calculated the  height of the flagpole using the angle of elevation and baseline distance. 

Formula: 

Height of flagpole = baseline distance * tan(θ)

Wishing all Indian friends a joyful Independence Day! May the spirit of freedom and unity continue to shine brightly in your incredible nation. As neighbors, let's celebrate together and strengthen the bond between Bhutan and India. Jai Hind! #IndependenceDayGreetings #BhutanAndIndia

 Viva-Voce: Introduction

My name is Nidup Jamtsho. I graduated from Samtse College of Education in June this year, with a Bachelor of Education in Physics and Mathematics. I am from Drepong under Mongar Dzongkhag. I completed my high school in the science stream from Yadi Higher Secondary School in 2017. Throughout my educational journey, I have been academically sound and obtained many academic excellence awards including the precious certificate from his majesty the king. Among special awards, I was awarded the Best Student of the year at my primary and high school. In college, I was awarded both prestigious awards; President’s Award for Outstanding Student Leadership and the Award for Valuable Contribution. During my teaching practice, I was awarded the Principal’s Certificate of Commendation signed by the Dzongdag, which was the first of its kind.  

I have held various leadership positions from my primary school to college. Out of all the leadership roles, I happened to be the school captain in both primary and high school. I was also the councillor at the college. I was the overall commander during the 48th batch De-Suungtraining at Wing VIII, Samtse. While serving in the capacity of those roles, I have had the privilege of learning many things like communication skills, patience, empathy, accountability, and many other life skills.   

I participated in various co-curricular activities in my school and college. Among those activities, I would not miss the events related to social services. I was an active scout member who got an opportunity to undergo scout leadership training in 2015. Through the membership of the Tarayana club, GNH program, and SDG program, I used to involve myself with social services. I am the founder of an unofficial youth group called KuenphenYouth which was formed with the goal to render social services. 

In addition to all those things, I consider myself a passionate content creator and a blogger. With all these qualities and my willingness to constantly reinvent myself, I strongly believe that I can become one of the best teachers in the country to groom the children through a right way and eventually lead to a better nation building.

With the rapid progress in Pi Network, it's natural for many individuals to have questions and concerns. Here is a comprehensive to-do-list to help you navigate the world of Pi Network listed from my opinion. 

1. Stay Calm About KYC: Don't worry if you haven't secured a KYC (Know Your Customer) slot or if your KYC application hasn't been approved yet. If you are a genuine human participant, trust that you will have a fair chance to complete KYC in due time. Pi Network is committed to ensuring that all real individuals have the opportunity to participate fully.

2. Download the Pi Browser App: If you have been mining Pi solely through the mining app, it's essential to download the Pi Browser App. This application will allow you to generate a wallet and perform necessary actions such as checking your KYC status. By having both apps installed, you can maximize your engagement with the Pi Network ecosystem.

3. Secure Your Passphrase: When creating your wallet, the most crucial step is to keep your passphrase safe. Your passphrase acts as the key to your wallet and ensures that only you can access your funds. Take extra precautions to store it in a secure location and avoid sharing it with anyone else. By safeguarding your passphrase, you guarantee the safety of your Pi holdings.

4. Complete the Mainnet Checklist: Pi Network has provided a comprehensive mainnet checklist within the Pi Network app. It is highly recommended to go through this checklist and complete the necessary steps. This ensures that you are fully prepared for the transition to the mainnet when it becomes available. By staying proactive, you position yourself for success in the Pi Network ecosystem.

5. Notify and Assist Your Referral Team: If you have built a referral team within Pi Network, it's important to keep them informed about the KYC application process. Help guide them through the necessary steps and provide support whenever needed. Remember, by supporting others in your referral team, you contribute to the growth and success of the entire Pi Network community.

6. Keep Mining: Finally, continue mining Pi diligently. By consistently engaging with the Pi Network app, you contribute to the security and stability of the network. Mining Pi is a vital part of the ecosystem and rewards participants for their contribution. The more you mine, the greater your potential rewards and the stronger the Pi Network becomes.
