There's still time to lodge visa applications under the old rules
Changes to the immigration regime take effect from 22 July, says Ashley Fleming Sign up to our daily newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up!

The key changes include an increase to the minimum skill level: New applicants must be sponsored in roles assessed by the Home Office at Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) level 6 (degree level), up from the current RQF level 3 (A-level). Whilst roles must be degree level, applicants themselves do not need a degree level qualification. These changes apply only to new applicants. Skilled workers already in the UK and sponsored in roles below RQF level 6 can renew their visas, change employment and take supplementary employment at the same level. The Government has warned that these transitional arrangements will be reviewed in due course. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Further exceptions to the increased skilled level are provided through updates to the existing Immigration Salary List (ISL) and the introduction of a new Temporary Shortage List (TSL). The ISL includes roles identified by the Migration Advisory Committee ('MAC') as experiencing labour shortages and eligible for salary discounts. Although the ISL will be phased out by the end of 2026, interim measures will allow RQF level 3-5 roles to remain eligible for the Skilled Worker route if they appear on: Ashley Fleming is a partner, Harper Macleod The expanded ISL, which includes existing roles plus those at RQF levels 3-5 which the MAC identified as being in shortage in its 2023 and 2024 reviews; or the interim TSL, which includes RQF levels 3-5 roles deemed important for the UK's Modern Industrial Strategy by the Department for Business and Trade and His Majesty's Treasury. A total of 52 occupation codes are on the new TSL. These roles will not benefit from salary discounts, unlike those on the former Shortage Occupation List. Furthermore, main applicants will no longer be eligible to bring their dependants to the UK, which may deter them from coming. Another change is that salary thresholds are rising. From 22 July, the general threshold will increase from £38,700 to £41,700, and the new entrants threshold increases from £30,960 to £33,400. Transitional provisions apply to those sponsored before 4 April 2024, with their salary threshold increasing from £29,000 to £31,300 when extending or changing employer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The changes are significant for the care sector. From 22 July, sponsors won't be able to bring in care (SOC 6135) or senior care workers (SOC 6136) from overseas. In-country applications will be permitted until 22 July 2028, but the skilled worker must have been legally employed by the sponsor for at least three months at the time the CoS is assigned, or already hold a skilled worker visa as a care worker and be moving sponsor.

Here's How Much a $1000 Investment in Synopsys Made 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today
For most investors, how much a stock's price changes over time is important. Not only can it impact your investment portfolio, but it can also help you compare investment results across sectors and industries. The fear of missing out, or FOMO, also plays a factor in investing, especially with particular tech giants, as well as popular consumer-facing stocks. What if you'd invested in Synopsys (SNPS) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to SNPS for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today? With that in mind, let's take a look at Synopsys' main business drivers. Synopsys is a vendor of electronic design automation (EDA) software to the semiconductor and electronics industries. The company offers a full suite of products used in the logic synthesis and functional verification phases of chip design, including a broad array of reusable design building blocks. It also sells physical synthesis and physical design products as well as physical verification company's products are used to design a chip, from concept to the point of delivery to the manufacturer for fabrication. Synopsis provides software and hardware, which are used to develop electronic systems that incorporate chips. Additionally, the company provides Intellectual Property (IP) used in semiconductor design and manufacturing to simplify the design process and accelerate time-to-market for its reports revenues in three segments, namely Time-Based Products, Upfront Products and Maintenance and Products (53% of fiscal 2024 revenues): Segment revenues are recognized as Technology Subscription License (TSL) revenues. Under this segment, the company recognizes revenues from fees over the period of the license or as and when the installments are paid by the customer, whichever is Products (29%): These revenues are recognized as Term License revenues. Under this segment, the company recognizes revenues from term licenses in full after the completion of the shipment of the software, wherein at least 75% of the license fee is paid within a year of shipment, after fulfilling all other revenue recognition and Service (18%): Under this segment revenues come from maintenance fees that are generated over the maintenance period; along with revenues generated from professional service and training company conducts its business across four geographic regions namely: North America (45% of fiscal 2024 revenues), China (16%), Europe (10%), Korea (13%) and others (16%).Synopsys' competitors include EDA vendors like Cadence Design Systems Inc. and Mentor Graphics Corporation. While anyone can invest, building a lucrative investment portfolio takes research, patience, and a little bit of risk. If you had invested in Synopsys ten years ago, you're probably feeling pretty good about your investment today. According to our calculations, a $1000 investment made in June 2015 would be worth $9,656.56, or an 865.66% gain, as of June 26, 2025. Investors should keep in mind that this return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation. Compare this to the S&P 500's rally of 189.78% and gold's return of 172.85% over the same time frame. Looking ahead, analysts are expecting more upside for SNPS. Synopsys is gaining from solid design wins driven by a robust product portfolio. Growth in the hybrid working trend is driving demand for bandwidth. Strong traction for Synopsys' Fusion Compiler product is boosting its top line. The growing demand for advanced technology, design, IP and security solutions also creates solid prospects. The rising impact of artificial intelligence, 5G, the Internet of Things and big data is driving investments in new computing and machine learning architectures. However, tightening the corporate budget amid ongoing macroeconomic challenges, along with unfavorable currency exchange rates and stiff competition, might hurt its near-term growth prospects. Geopolitical challenges and restrictions on trade with Huawei are other woes. The stock has underperformed the industry over the past year. Shares have gained 5.37% over the past four weeks and there have been 7 higher earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2025 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.

Tahlequah Sports League makes progress on indoor facility
What started as an April Fool's joke continues to gain traction. Tahlequah Sports League made a joking social media post about an indoor facility and it has quickly grown steam over the last couple of months. Advertisement What started as a prank FaceBook post, has turned into a full plan. TSL has plans for a 167,000-square-foot indoor athletics facility designed by Childer's Architect that includes full-sized soccer fields, full-sized football fields, basketball courts and volleyball courts. TSL is working with Tahlequah Public Schools, the Boys and Girls Club, the city of Tahlequah and Cherokee Nation to try and get a grant through the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust. 'We're working with the city and Cherokee Nation is really helping us as far as putting together the hard costs,' TSL's Trae Ratliff said. 'This grant is essentially what they call a launch-ready program. We feel like we're ready to move dirt on this, we've got the property, we've got the plans, we've got the contractors and we just have to complete the hard part.' Ratliff expects the cost of the facility to be roughly $40 million. If the plan goes through Ratliff says that Boys and Girls Club will work out of the facility with workspaces. Advertisement The next step for TSL is a public forum where anyone can come and voice their concerns or wants for the facility. A date is not set for this public forum but Ratliff is looking to set a date soon. This athletic facility will add to TSL's flag football, softball, baseball and basketball leagues.

PepsiCo India and The Social Lab Scale Sustainable Waste Solutions Across Four Cities with 'Tidy Trails'
NewsVoir New Delhi [India], June 6: PepsiCo India, in collaboration with The Social Lab (TSL), has announced the expansion of its flagship plastic circularity initiative, Tidy Trails--a community-driven program focused on responsible plastic waste management through collection, segregation, and recycling to drive long-term environmental impact. The initiative has now been launched in New Delhi's Chandni Chowk and Pune's FC College Road, with further expansion in Agra and Guwahati, building on the success of earlier editions in these cities. This strategic rollout reinforces PepsiCo India's commitment to fostering cleaner, more sustainable urban environments. Guided by its Partnership of Progress philosophy, Tidy Trails brings together local administrations, market associations, shopkeepers, and consumers to drive meaningful behaviour change around plastic waste segregation and recycling--creating a collaborative model for circularity at the community level. As part of the initiative, a special mobile van will be deployed to collect post-consumer plastic waste from local establishments. The effort aims to encourage citizens to maintain cleaner surroundings and foster a culture of tidiness--setting positive examples and inspiring other communities to adopt responsible waste practices. At the heart of the Tidy Trails initiative is a powerful idea: transforming plastic waste into purpose. Collected plastic is repurposed into functional items such as benches and chairs, which are installed in public spaces like parks, community centres, and marketplaces. These installations not only enhance the utility and aesthetics of these areas but also serve as daily reminders of the value of sustainable living. Through on-ground campaigns, informative signage, and interactive community engagement, Tidy Trails is driving visible and lasting behavioral change--ensuring that plastic waste is not discarded, but reimagined into something meaningful for the community. Speaking on the expansion, Ms. Yashika Singh, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Sustainability Head, PepsiCo India and South Asia, said, "The launch of Tidy Trails in Delhi and Pune, along with its expansion in Agra and Guwahati, underscores our commitment to scaling sustainable, community-led solutions for post-consumer plastic waste management. Guided by our Partnership of Progress philosophy, we believe meaningful change is only possible through collective action. The success of Tidy Trails in Agra and Guwahati--driven by strong community engagement and support from local administrations--has laid a solid foundation for this next phase. We're proud to collaborate with partners like The Social Lab and local municipalities to deliver real, on-ground impact." Mr. Sahil Arora, Chief Executive Officer, The Social Lab (TSL), said, "We are proud to partner with PepsiCo India for this noble initiative. At TSL, we are committed to protecting the environment and supporting circular economy efforts through programs like Tidy Trails. Plastic waste is one of the biggest environmental challenges today, but when reused and recycled, it can offer valuable solutions. Through this initiative, we aim to bring together communities, businesses, and policymakers to encourage the responsible use, recycling, and reuse of plastic." Since its inception, the Tidy Trails initiative has collected over 68,000 kg of plastic waste, driven by active participation from local shopkeepers and communities. The program currently facilitates the daily collection of approximately 274 kg in Agra and 386 kg in Guwahati--demonstrating consistent, grassroots-level impact. With a reach of over 1.9 lakh people, the initiative continues to drive behavioral change around responsible plastic waste management through sustained community engagement and awareness efforts. As Tidy Trails expands its footprint, it stands as a compelling example of how collective action--across local communities, municipal bodies, and socially responsible businesses--can accelerate the transition toward a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future. PepsiCo products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. PepsiCo generated nearly $92 billion in net revenue in 2024, driven by a complementary beverage and convenient foods portfolio that includes Lay's®, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Quaker, and SodaStream.
