The Ultimate Fun at an Affordable Price. 2022 Kawasaki Z250SL New Colors Released
In some countries including Taiwan, due to the legal system, they usually bring in bikes over 300 c.c. However, in some regions (such as Japan), 250-class bikes still have some advantages, and this time the Z250SL is one of them. In some countries including Taiwan, due to the legal system, the industry usually introduces bikes above 300 c.c. However, in some regions (such as Japan), 250-class bikes still have certain advantages, such as this Z250SL.
Although the name is close to the Z250 (Z300 in Taiwan), the Z250SL is a completely different kind of light bike, with “SL” being the acronym for Super Light, which means extremely light. It is positioned as a commuter bike.
The Z250SL, which is positioned as a commuter bike, still inherits the spirit of Kawasaki’s Z Street series in its appearance, and even though it is powered by a single-cylinder, four-stroke 249 c.c. water-cooled engine, the bike is extremely light (148 kg wet weight, 20 kg lighter than the twin-cylinder Z250) and maintains a certain level of performance. This engine is shared with the KLX 250, which has enough power at low and medium rpm and is also very quick to pull.
Although the name is similar to the Z250 (Z300 in Taiwan), the Z250SL is a completely different kind of light bike, and even though it’s positioned as a commuter bike, it still inherits the spirit of Kawasaki’s Z street bike line. The engine is shared with the KLX 250, which has enough power at low and medium rpm and is also very quick to pull, and the company has equipped the bike with a six-speed transmission.
The most striking feature of the bike is the woven steel frame, which is rarely seen on Japanese bikes, and the 2017 model has the entire frame painted in metallic lime green, making the whole thing quite dazzling. The suspension specifications are the same as those of the Z250, and the front and rear shocks are still 37mm sleeve forks / single-shot mid-mounted multi-link. There is no difference in the frame design at first glance, but the weight of the rear frame is 500g less than that of the Z250, and the tire size is also slightly smaller, these two changes represent a reduction in underspring weight, bringing the rider excellent driving response.
The Z250SL has a steel braided frame rarely seen on Japanese bikes, which contributes to the lighter weight of the bike, and the handling is no less impressive. The front and rear suspension specifications are the same as those of the Z250, while the front and rear tires are slightly smaller, and the rear frame is even 500g lighter, providing the owner with excellent driving response.
The Z250SL is available without ABS and is priced at about 116,000 yen (about 31,000 NT) less than the twin-cylinder Z250 ABS in Japan, which may not be a huge amount, but it’s definitely nice to have more options.
[Satisfaction / Strengths]
It is light and powerful enough, easy to ride, low maintenance, and its small size helps to save parking space.
About the ride
It’s light and the engine is suitable for touring. For me, the single-cylinder is the most enjoyable and direct experience, and it excels on twisty roads and curves.
About the exterior
Because I’m in love with the design of the bike at first sight, I will try to modify it without changing its appearance.
[Shortcomings]
It has no loading capacity at all, but this problem can be solved by adding a back box, but if you don’t want a back box to ruin the look, please prepare a backpack.
About the ride
There are a lot of long, straight roads that can be tiring, and it’s not suitable for two people.
About the appearance
This is a matter of personal aesthetics, no complaints. (If you don’t like it, you won’t buy it, right?) I don’t have any complaints.

Why do Businesses Need Human resource Consulting Services?
Human resource consulting firms play a vital role in today’s business landscape. They offer several key benefits and importance to organizations:
Expertise and Specialization:
HR consultants bring specialized knowledge and expertise to the table. They stay up-to-date with the latest HR trends, best practices, and legal regulations. This expertise is precious for businesses without dedicated HR staff or require support in complex HR areas.
Cost-Effective Solutions:
Engaging HR consultants can often be more cost-effective than hiring and maintaining an in-house HR department. Businesses can access high-quality HR services as needed, reducing fixed labor costs.
Customization:
HR consultants tailor their services to meet the specific needs of each client. Whether recruitment, employee training, or policy development, consultants design solutions that align with the organization’s unique goals and challenges.
Objective Perspective:
Consultants offer an objective and impartial perspective on HR matters. They can provide insights and recommendations without being influenced by internal biases or politics, which can be valuable for making difficult HR decisions.
Efficiency and Productivity:
HR consultants can streamline HR processes, making them more efficient. This can improve productivity, as employees spend less time on administrative tasks and more on strategic activities.
Compliance and Risk Management:
HR consultants help organizations comply with labor laws and regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues, fines, and reputational damage. They also assist in implementing best practices for risk management.
Strategic Focus:
Organizations can free up their internal resources by outsourcing HR tasks to consultants to focus on core business activities and strategic initiatives. This can lead to improved business performance and growth.
Scalability:
HR consulting firms can adapt to an organization’s changing needs. Whether a business is expanding, downsizing, or facing other transitions, consultants can provide flexible HR solutions to support these changes.
Access to Technology:
Many HR consulting firms have access to advanced HR technology and software solutions that may be cost-prohibitive for smaller organizations to implement independently. This technology can enhance HR processes and data management.
Talent Acquisition and Development:
HR consultants excel in talent acquisition and development. They can help organizations attract top talent, assess employee potential, and implement training and development programs to improve workforce skills.
Confidentiality:
HR consultants are bound by confidentiality agreements, ensuring that sensitive HR issues and employee data are handled with discretion and professionalism.
Conflict Resolution:
Consultants can mediate and assist in resolving workplace conflicts and issues, promoting a harmonious work environment.
Global Expertise:
For businesses with international operations, HR consultants with global expertise can help navigate the complexities of international HR regulations and practices.
In summary, human resources consulting firms provide valuable support to organizations by offering expertise, cost-effective solutions, and a strategic approach to managing their workforce.
Their ability to adapt to changing needs, ensure compliance, and improve HR processes makes them an essential resource for businesses looking to thrive in today’s competitive environment.

PayPal quietly reintroduces $2,500 “misinformation” fine
Not long after issuing an apology and retracting a $2,500 fine to its users, PayPal has quietly re-introduced the fine into their terms of service and legal agreements.
If enforced, the leading payment processor could fine users the hefty $2,500 sum for spreading “misinformation,” or “hate”, or whatever they deem “unfit for publication.”
While the wording has been changed up, the company has listed several things they would consider fining users over, purely based on speech:
PayPal restricted and prohibited activities
- The promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory or the financial exploitation of a crime
- Items that are considered obscene
- Certain sexually oriented materials or services
- Act in a manner that is defamatory, trade libelous, threatening or harassing
- Provide false, inaccurate or misleading information
The original documents, which PayPal said were published in error, had much looser language on what would get users fined $2,500 over – namely the “sending, posting, or publication” of any “messages, content, or materials” that are “harmful, obscene, harassing, or objectionable.”
PayPal has seemingly taken a firm stance against adult / pornographic content in both policies, while the former prohibited things that “depict or appear to depict nudity, sexual or other intimate activities” the new policy vaguely prohibits “certain sexually oriented materials or services.”

Employee Retention Tax Credit 2022
The employee retention tax credit 2022 (ERC) is a tax credit available to employers who keep and retain their employees. The credit is available to employers with 100 or fewer full-time employees. It applies to qualifying wages paid to employees during the business’s first quarter.
If your business is a small business, you can use Form 941-X to claim the credit retroactively.
Employers with 100 or fewer full-time employees
Employers with 100 or fewer employees are eligible to claim a refundable payroll tax credit called the Employee Retention Tax Credit.
This credit was created by Congress under the CARES Act to encourage employers to retain employees. It was originally set to expire on January 1, 2022, but Congress has extended the credit twice. This means that eligible employers can still claim the credit for their taxes for 2020 and 2021.
The credit is limited to wages paid between March 12 and Sept. 30, 2021. In addition, wages paid under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) cannot qualify for the credit. The credit amount is limited to $5,000 per full-time employee in 2020. In 2021, it increases to $7,000 per quarter, with a total credit of up to $21,000 per employee.
Paycheck Protection Program loans are not eligible for the employee retention tax credit
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a tax break for businesses that offer a payroll protection program for their employees. Until recently, employers could not qualify for both programs at the same time. But the new legislation has changed this and now businesses can take advantage of both programs.
To receive the credit, employers must file a Form 941-X, or Adjusted Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, for each quarter that an employee was a PPP borrower.
The credit is based on wages paid between March 13 and Dec. 31, 2020. For the third quarter of each year, the credit is available for up to $10,000 per employee.
Qualified wages are based on the quarter the business began
To qualify as a severely distressed employer, your business must have had a 90% decline in gross receipts in the previous year.
You must have employed at least one person during this time. The CARES Act does not apply to businesses that are still operating, but it does apply to those that have ceased operations and declined in gross receipts.
Form 941-X is used to retroactively file
The IRS has recently released a new form called Form 941-X. The new form is designed to be filed retroactively and corrects any mistakes that you may have made in filing your original Form 941.
The form must be filed no later than two years after you paid the tax. To file this form, you will need to mail it to the IRS. The IRS does not have the capability to accept it online. If you’ve made significant changes to your business, you may be eligible to claim the ERC. The ERC is equal to 6.4% of the wages you paid to employees during the credit generating period. This credit is not available to corporations with more than 500 employees
