New technology is making cash    135    and turning us into a cashless society. Many of us use credit and debit cards, and    136    payments using tap-and-go cards are becoming popular. Though this can put you at risk of fraud, they are capped and banks cover any losses. Chip and PIN technology has reduced fraud and speeded up transactions. Wearable tech is another option    137    those who find getting their bankcard out too much trouble. It is    138    for people who don't want to use their card, phone, or watch and is particularly useful for small-valued goods.

   139    being the slowest train journey in India, the Kalka-Shimla Railway is also one of the most scenic. The narrow-gauge railway,    140    in 1903 to connect the town of Kalka in the foothills of the Himalayas with the summer capital of Shimla, winds its way through 20 railway stations and 103 tunnels. Although the train journey    141    around five hours to cover a distance of just 96 km, passengers are rewarded with breathtaking views of mountains, valleys, and pine forests. Along the way, the train also passes through picturesque towns and villages,    142    . The Kalka-Shimla Railway is a popular tourist attraction and a unique way to experience the beauty of the Himalayan region.

Dear Department Managers,

Employees desire a good financial reward, which sometimes requires asking for a pay rise. This may involve doing research on pay rates, providing reasons for the request, and negotiating. While wage increases have been sensitive due to the recession, some employers are providing pay rises above inflation. Asking for a pay rise is not a reason to fear, as it shows ambition and a desire to stay with the company. If a pay rise is not possible, alternative perks such as flexible working or more time off can be requested. 

However, if all negotiation attempts fail, it may be time to consider looking for a new job opportunity.

When should sharing on social media be considered oversharing? While we are taught to share and express our emotions, there is a point where it can become excessive, especially with new trends like dance challenges or unconventional clothing. Oversharing is not exclusive to social media, and can occur in face-to-face interactions, where people may divulge intimate details in an attempt to connect. However, according to Dr Hand, disclosing too much online can lead to less sympathy and may attract negative experiences. On the other hand, positive posts can make individuals more socially attractive. To avoid oversharing, it is recommended to refrain from negative online behaviors and ask friends for feedback.

Job interview bullying is a type of workplace bullying that occurs during the hiring process. It involves an interviewer or group of interviewers using aggressive, intimidating, or disrespectful behavior towards a job candidate. This type of behavior can take many forms, such as asking inappropriate or discriminatory questions, making personal attacks, or putting undue pressure on the candidate. 

Job interview bullying can have serious consequences for job candidates, such as damaging their self-esteem, causing stress and anxiety, and negatively affecting their chances of getting the job. It can also be an indication of a toxic workplace culture, which may not be a healthy environment for employees.

Kelly Porter: Susan, we need to talk about the videos you've been making about your experience with customers. 

Susan Morris: Okay, what's wrong? 

Kelly Porter: Frankly, I'm disappointed that you've been making these videos without consulting me first. They could potentially damage our professional reputation and are not aligned with our conservative approach to social media.

Kelly Porter: Yes, I expect you to take this matter seriously and be more mindful of our brand image in the future. Let's schedule a meeting to discuss other marketing strategies that align with our values. 

Susan Morris: Certainly, I fully understand the gravity of the situation, and I am committed to being more mindful of our brand image in the future. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss alternative marketing strategies with you, and I am eager to work together to find effective solutions.
