    The impact of England's second lockdown on UK visa applications 11 NOVEMBER 2020 Tracy Evlogidis PARTNER | UK CATEGORY: ARTICLE In reaction to the stark rise in coronavirus cases, England entered into a second national lockdown on 5 November 2020. In contrast with the onset of the pandemic in March of this year, UK Visas & Immigration now have the facilities in place to enable their services to continue running. We have extracted the pertinent information from Home Ofce guidance, and listed below the current status of UK visa application centres (‘VACs’) both in and outside of the UK. In summary, overseas UK VACs will remain open, however this is very much dependent on local country restrictions. In the UK, the Home Ofce is still accepting and processing in-country visa applications. UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (‘UKVCAS’) Service Points, Service and Support Centres (‘SSCs’), and English Language Test centres are classed as providing an “essential service” and thus remain open, with exceptions. The ‘ne print’ Applications made within the UK: Individuals in the UK with leave that expires after 31 October 2020 are permitted, under current coronavirus concessions, to submit a visa application from within the UK where that visa application would normally require submission from their home country. If switching into a work or study visa category, applicants may be able to start working or studying before a decision is made on their application, if specic criteria are satised. Those applicants who made an appointment to attend a UKVCAS Service Point which remains closed will be contacted when the Service Point re- opens to make a new appointment, and their UK immigration status will not change as a result of being prevented from attending their appointment.

The onset of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has caused great distress across the world. From our perspective, it has meant that the Olympic Games scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan from July 24-August 9, 2020 have been postponed for the first time in history. While there is no doubt that the right decision was made, this postponement has led to a drastic shift in momentum for all our athletes who were in the ‘home stretch’ of their preparations. Having said that, this situation has also given us and our athletes a new purpose: that of being grateful, cherishing what we have and preparing even harder in the coming year to ensure we can move forward toward our goal of kickstarting an Olympic Movement in India! It fills me with immense pride to see the impact we have been able to create in Indian sport through the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) – our dedication to the nation built with the objective of churning out Champions for India.

Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.
