Herald: Vagator locals say ‘NO’ to Sunburn on New Year’s Eve
Addressing a press conference, the villagers alleged that the Sunburn organizers had taken the locals and all other authorities including the village panchayat for granted by advertising on their official website sale of tickets two months prior to the festival. “We should have been taken into confidence but they (organizers) have taken us and Anjuna-Caisua village panchayat for granted. Former Anjuna-Caisua panchayat member Hanumant Govekar said that it is for the first time that the Sunburn organizers have announced the festival for four days instead of the usual three days. They have been holding the festival at Vagator for the last few years but never extended it to December 31. Most of the locals demanded to know how the organizers announce tickets without obtaining the necessary permissions from the authorities.

Scottish Greens deal major blow to hospitality sector
“However, the Scottish Greens cannot support a new relief from non-domestic rates for businesses in the hospitality sector,” she adds. “There is already a broad spectrum of reliefs from NDR on offer, ranging from the small business bonus scheme to hardship relief, business growth accelerator relief, and rural rate relief. The small business bonus scheme in particular has no equivalent elsewhere in the UK and a large number of hospitality businesses will already benefit from it.

So, what is your favourite body part?
So, what is your favourite body part? What are the most important parts of our body? I decided to start by eliminating the least important body parts on show. Around that same time in my childhood, I found out what really is the most important part of my body. No, you will have to wade through the rest of this stuff before finding the answer…Few will argue against the brain being the most important organ in the human body.
