Join the family to get updates from us and tons of cool freebies:
Our number one goal at DollarSprout is to help readers improve their financial lives, and we regularly partner with companies that share that same vision. Some of the links in this post may be from our partners. Here's how we make money.
With dozens of stock trading apps currently on the market, it can be tricky to separate the good from the bad.
To help you find the right one for you, we put together this list of the best investment apps for beginners in 2019.
Our Editorial Team has researched all of the top investing apps available, and evaluated each one in several different areas in order narrow this list down to the five that we think will help you the most.
Everyone's financial situation is different. We all have different goals, amounts to invest, tolerance for risk and knowledge about investing.
At DollarSprout we know what we like, but we've also asked around to see what other apps people in the personal finance community are using to invest their money online.
Whether you have lots of extra money to invest, or just want to get started with a small amount of money, you should be able to find something useful for you on this list.
Note: Before you start investing, you should already have a monthly household budget and a plan in place to pay off your debt, if you have any.
1. Acorns
Acorns is an investing app similar to Stash, with a few extra bells and whistles. You can read our full Acorns Review here.
How does Acorns work?
- Open an account in under 5 minutes, with no minimum investment required.
- Answer a few questions about your age, risk tolerance, etc.
- There are several ways to add to your account, including depositing your "spare change" (the app will round up your debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and move the extra few cents into your Acorns account).
- You can also make lump-sum deposits and use Acorns' "FoundMoney" program, which is essentially a cash back program that works in a way that's similar to Ebates or Swagbucks.
Pros and Cons of Acorns
- Free $5 Signup Bonus for all new accounts
- Automatically invests spare change (this adds up over time)
- Free for college students
- Dividends can be reinvested
- Built in cash back program that funnels into investments
- On small account balances, the fees can be a high percentage
- For meaningful results, you'll need to invest more than just your spare change
- High ETF expense ratios
2. Betterment
Betterment is more than just an investment app — it's designed to be a one stop shop for all of your investing needs. It's focused primarily on long term investing, and the platform caters to a "set it and forget it" investing style (which is perfect for beginners). You can read our full Betterment Review here.
How does Betterment work?
- Open an account in under 5 minutes, with no minimum investment required.
- Answer a few questions about your age, risk tolerance, etc. You'll be asked about your goals and what you are investing for.
- Based on your answers, Betterment will put together a portfolio that suits your needs. As time goes on, Betterment handles portfolio rebalancing so your asset allocation stays in line with your goals.
- If you have investment accounts outside of Betterment, you can still use the app to track all of your assets in one place.
Pros and Cons of Betterment
- Comprehensive, low maintenance investing
- Access to financial experts (humans) for personalized advice
- Low management fees
- Automatic rebalancing
- Helpful retirement calculators and tracking tools
- No REITs or commodities
- Not meant for hands-on, analytical investors
- Cannot asset allocate with external accounts, even though it can track external accounts
3. Ally Invest
If you want a more hands-on way to invest your money, we really like Ally Invest (formerly known as TradeKing).
How does Ally Invest work?
- You choose each individual investment (stocks, bonds, ETFs, etc). There are no pre-made themes like Stash has. This means you have much more flexibility.
- You enter each individual trade and are responsible for rebalancing your portfolio on your own.
- A huge collection of educational resources.
A word of caution: If you are completely new to investing, this may not be the best investment app for you. If, however, you are excited to research investments and learn more about the stock market in general, Ally Invest is a high quality platform.
Where Ally shines the most is the low cost of trades: only $4.95 per stock or ETF trade. This puts them at the top of their class among their competitors (think E-trade, Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, etc).
Clients have access to Ally Invest's browser-based platform which offers quick trading capabilities, real-time streaming quotes and data, a customizable dashboard, and access to all of their tools.
Pros and Cons of Ally Invest
- Largest number of investment options
- Low trading commissions
- High quality trading platform
- Customer service
- No automatic investing or rebalancing
- Completely self-directed
4. Swell Investing
Swell takes a unique approach to investing. According to their website, they are "an impact investing platform that helps you invest in high-growth companies solving global challenges." You can read our full Swell Investing Review here.

- Management fee is higher than competitors, but not unbearable. On a $500 balance, you will pay $3.75 a year in fees.
- Primary focus is on US small cap stocks, so volatility can be high
- Quarterly rebalancing might not be most tax efficient strategy
5. Stash Invest
Don't know the first thing about investing? No worries — we all have to start somewhere.
Stash is a simple investing app that makes it easy to start putting money to work, even if you're only looking to invest small amounts of money.
The Stash app explains investing in a way that you can actually understand. You won't need a college degree in finance to understand what's happening with your money.
How does Stash work?
- You open your account with as little as $5.
- Stash allows you to invest money online by letting you choose from 150+ stocks or investment "themes"; pick from the best options for your goals, interests, and beliefs.
- Each theme includes a group of companies to invest in rather than just one.

Time is on your side
If you haven't started investing yet, don't fret, it's not entirely your fault.
It's not like we crawl out of the womb knowing what a 401(k) is or how you should start saving for retirement.
We aren't born knowing the ins and outs of trading stocks, and basic personal finance still isn't being taught in schools.
But to make this work, you need to start tucking away some of your money into the stock market as soon as possible. You need to start now while time is still on your side.
With any one of the investment apps listed above, it's easier than ever to get started with investing. Even if you are a complete beginner!
The more time your investments have to grow, the more money you will end up having in retirement. That means that you need to start doing this now, even if you start small. The rise of mobile has made tracking and growing your money easier than ever.
This list has, in our opinion, the best investment apps that will allow you to realistically and responsibly invest money online.
I made the US my home 12 years ago, I am now a citizen but have no 401(k) or other savings and am in my late 50s – can you advise me on my best plan of action please?
Hi I am looking to start investing , I need something that I can start out with a low sum to put in and something that can do the investment and tradings for me. Something that will give me good results but is also good for beginners. I've been looking at swell, betterment, or acorns any suggestions?
Hi, I'm a college student who is 18. I'm just getting into the investing world which apps would be best for someone my age. I also run a business.
Hi can you please assist me with more ideas on the investment and trading and how is work? How to start? And the best app available for a starter?

An employee comes in to your office one day and asks for a private word. "I think I've spotted errors on the last financial report, and it's resulted in lower commission."
You promise to look into the matter. But you think he's paid too much anyway and you procrastinate. He raises the matter again, and again. It's starting to irritate you.
He then raises the stakes, saying this is whistleblowing and that you really should take this seriously.
"You wish!" you say. "It's your earnings you care about."
He looks startled. "Eh? Umm…. It'll effect my colleagues too!"
The matter escalates. The employee becomes more focused on this issue, you feel harassed and eventually you dismiss him for the way he's handled the matter.
As you may be aware, if an employee is dismissed because they've made a "protected disclosure", e.g. a disclosure showing that there has been a criminal offence, that dismissal is automatically unfair – unlike other unfair dismissals, the employee doesn't need two years' employment to bring a claim and damages are not artificially capped.
However, for the disclosure to be protected it has to be in the "public interest". What does that mean? Is the disclosure in this fictitious scenario protected, assuming his principal motivation was simply to protect his own earnings?
That was the issue in a recent judgment by the Court of Appeal, Chestertons v Nurmohamed. And the answer is that it doesn't matter if the employee's main motive is their own pay – as long as others are affected and it is a matter of sufficient importance, it is in the public interest. The employees doesn't have to have articulated all the reasons for the importance of the disclosure when making it. In that case, the employee alleged financial misreporting affecting commission of about 100 employees including himself. He was successful in his claim of automatically unfair dismissal.
In other recent cases, it's been held that it doesn't matter if the employee is incorrect in their belief of the employer's unlawfulness of the employer's actions and the protection doesn't require that the employer agree that the actions are unlawful. The thrust of these cases is that you shouldn't treat an employee badly for disclosing what they believe is wrongdoing.

It concluded that the statutory test of what is "in the public interest" does not lend itself to absolute rules and the employment tribunal should take a number of factors into account. These factors include the numbers of employees involved and the importance of the interest affected.

Tactical LED flashlights are the best flashlights money can buy. They are designed for use by professionals in emergency situations, because police, military and rescue personnel need a flashlight with an extra degree of reliability and certain special features.
A tactical LED flashlight will typically cost a little more than an ordinary flashlight, but the quality is far superior. Let's take a look at some of the basic things you need to be aware of before you make a purchase.
The Case: The casing must be weatherproof and durable. The casing should have a watertight O-ring and rugged case to properly seal from the elements. The case must have high effect imperviousness to keep up its shape with the goal that despite everything it capacities as planned on the off chance that it is dropped or utilized as a weapon. Since effect resistance is so basic, the case must be developed of aviation evaluation aluminum for quality and weight.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and therapeutic effects of percutaneous renal cryoablation under local anesthesia with conscious sedation for patients who have unresectable stage 1 (T1NoMo) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in high surgical risk.
Eighteen patients who were not candidates for surgery underwent primary cryosurgery guided by gray-scale ultrasound. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) were performed to evaluate treatment at completion.
The mean follow-up period was 26.8 months (range, 12–56 months). All tumors were biopsied before cryosurgery. Seventeen tumors remained free of enhancement during follow-up period. No major complications associated with cryoablation procedures were found though two instances of subcapsular hematomas, one of retroperitoneal errhysis and one of nausea, were seen after cryoablation. One patient had a local recurrence of tumor and received additional cryoablation. Local tumor control rate was 100 % of T1NoMo tumors including the recurrence case who underwent additional cryoablation.
Percutaneous cryoablation can be recommended as a feasible, safe, and promising therapy for the treatment of renal tumor, especially those unresectable stage 1 RCC, with a low risk of complications.
- Cryoablation
- Renal cell carcinoma
- Local anesthesia
By reason of the incidental detection of small and asymptomatic masses with the widespread use of imaging techniques, the incidence of renal cell carcinoma has increased by severalfold during the past two decades [1, 2]. Despite that less invasive surgical procedures such as laparoscopic partial nephrectomy [3] and laparoscopic renal cryoablation [4] have been performed in select patients, the demand for further reductions in therapy and general anesthesia related to morbidity is desirable. However, particularly in high-risk patients, an even less invasive treatment such as percutaneous renal cryoablation would be feasible. For some high-surgical-risk patients, we were able to perform percutaneous cryoablation under local anesthesia with conscious sedation for unresectable stage 1 (T1NoMo) renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In our study, we evaluated the feasibility, safety, and therapeutic effects of percutaneous renal cryoablation for patients with high surgical risk after a 2-year mean follow-up.

Percutaneous renal cryoablation procedures
All cryoablation procedures were performed using the Cryo-Hit System (Galil Medical Ltd, Israel) by a single urologist. All patients were placed in a modified lateral position after induction with local anesthesia. Under ultrasound (US) guidance, 1.47 mm 17G IceSeed cryoneedles were placed into the renal tumor. The number of cryoneedles varied with the size of tumor. Freezing with argon gas to < −40 °C was initiated and monitored using the temperature-monitoring probes, and US guidance, which revealed an acoustic shadow as the ice ball formed. After maintaining −40 °C or the lowest temperature below −25 °C for 10 to 15 min, a passive thaw was initiated until the temperature reached a plateau. At this point, active thawing with helium was started. Two cycles of rapid freeze–thaw was carried out, ensuring the temperature in the renal tumor and just outside it was below a therapeutic value of −40 °C. At the end of the procedure, the needles and probes were removed and pressure applied to location for 10 min to reduce bruising.
Evaluation at follow-up
Therapeutic effects were evaluated by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) 1 month after percutaneous renal cryoablation. Subsequent CEUS and contrast-enhanced CT assessment were performed after cryoablation for additional follow-up imaging at 3, 6, and every 6 months thereafter. All lesions that showed the non-enhancing ablation zone on CEUS and contrast-enhanced CT was considered to be a successful cryoablation. The second cryoablation treatment was performed additionally when an enhancing area of cancer tissue was still present. Renal function of each patient was evaluated with serum creatinine and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR = 175 × (serum creatinine) × 11.54(age) × 0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.210 if black)) [5].
Procedures and therapeutic effects
No major complications were found during the procedures though intraoperative complications such as nausea and pain, but nausea and pain are within tolerable limits in all patients. As postoperative complications, one patient had subcapsular hemorrhage and another one had retroperitoneal errhysis. No patient required dialysis, either temporary or permanent. The pre- and post-cryoablation mean serum creatinine levels were 1.2 ± 0.7 mg/dL and 1.3 ± 0.6 mg/dL, respectively. Also, no significant differences were found in the pre- and post-cryoablation mean glomerular filtration rate (49.7 ± 22.1 mL/min and 50.1 ± 21.7 mL/min, respectively).
Follow-up findings
Seventeen of eighteen tumors were confirmed completely ablated and had no growth or enhancement during the mean follow-up period of 26.8 months. All tumors had a significant reduction from 3.3 ± 1.2 cm to 2.7 ± 1.1 cm (P < 0.05) observed at the last follow-up examination after cryoablation. Only one tumor measuring 2.8 cm was confirmed incompletely ablated by contrast-enhanced CT scan 12 months after the procedure and underwent re-cryoablation. No metastases of any tumors were found during the follow-up period. The recurrence rate of RCC after successful cryoablation was 5.5 % (1/18). The local tumor control rate was 100 % including the recurrence case that underwent re-cryoablation.
The role of various forms of minimally invasive therapies has been greatly expanded to the previous standard of open radical nephrectomy. Although partial nephrectomy remains the reference standard, ablative techniques are increasingly applied in the management of small renal tumors with the long-term results emerging [6]. Among ablative modalities, cryotherapy is the most widely used and accepted, especially for older patients in high risk [7], and has shown to correlate with minimal complications and good intermediate-term oncologic outcomes [8]. The application of cryoablation is to ablate solid tumors found in the lung, liver, breast, kidney, and prostate. Prostate and renal cryoablation are the most common. Although sometimes cryoablation is applied through laparoscopic or open surgical approaches, most often cryoablation is performed percutaneously. The advantages of percutaneous renal cryoablation include a less-invasive procedure, shorter hospitalization, excellent ice ball monitoring with ultrasound, less requirement for pain medication, and lower risk of metastatic progression [9–11]. Most of all, it can be performed repeatedly [12]. Compared to other thermal ablation, cryoablation offers real-time, visual feedback of the ice ball and it is nearly painless during the procedure, eliminating the need of general anesthesia or deep sedation. Percutaneous renal cryoablation can be performed by ultrasound, CT, or MRI guidance. Ultrasound is convenient and sufficient for precise needle placement, and what is more, it allows real-time guidance. The selected patients in this study are all not candidates for surgical procedure because they are not could not tolerate the postoperative pain and complications which general anesthesia brings.
As a matter of fact, the most common sequelae are self-limited pain and paresthesia at the sites of probe insertion related to cryoablation. Other complications that are rare include hemorrhage, infection, visceral injury, pneumothorax, and delayed UPJ obstruction. Mild perinephric hematoma, myoglobinaemia, and transfusion have been reported [13–15], but in most cases, those complications could be managed rightly without operative procedure. By placing the cryoprobe perpendicularly into the kidney, carefully maintaining its position throughout the procedure, and deliberately removing the probe after complete thawing of renal tissue surrounding the cryoprobe, renal fracture and hemorrhage can be avoided [7]. Uzzo and Novick published a cumulative total of 155 (13.7 %) complications in 1129 procedures in a review of nephron-sparing surgical procedures during the past decade [16]. These complications include 14 deaths, 78 urinary fistulas, 3 splenic injuries, 19 infections or abscesses, 27 hemorrhages, and 18 patients had to receive postoperative dialysis [16]. The results of cryoablation in our study are superior to this standard, especially when one considers that many high-risk patients would not be candidates for surgical procedure. Atwell reported the durability of this treatment method with a low incidence of tumor recurrence beyond 3 months in a midterm follow-up of 93 tumors of percutaneous renal cryoablation [17]. Our recurrence rate of stage 1 RCC after successful cryoablation during a 2-year follow-up was 5.5 % (1/18). However, the repeated treatment was performed later resulting in the elimination of tumor enhancement. Although the local ablated tumor control was 100 % of patients including the recurrence case that received additional cryoablation at 2-year follow-up, we still need further investigation of the long-term safety and efficacy in tumor control. Moreover, in order to strengthen the treatment, cryoablation can be combined with preoperative or postoperative radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatment, which can be in our follow-up study.
In summary, the result of our study showed percutaneous renal cryoablation is recommended as a feasible, safe, and treatment modality for select patients with unresectable stage 1 RCC, especially those older ones with high surgical risk. Long-term efficacy will be determined by continued maturation of data.

Customer Service
00.01.42 - Mark
Usually I rant about how much customer service sucks, which is because it usually does, however it's always a treat to find some that doesn't suck. Canon's customer service made me happy a while back when it didn't take 5 hours to convince them my camera was broken, but Pilot Pens really surprised me. I'm a mild pen geek, and my current everyday use pen is the Pilot Precise V5 RT.
It writes smoothly, has a narrow line, and it makes a nice clicking sound. It's great to write with but I had two problems. First it's light. I personally prefer heavier pen bodies, metal pens being my favorite, second is that the pocket clip on the V5 RT's was really horribly designed. The inside of the clip was made in a way that it catches on threads all the time. I'd reach for my pen and start ripping up my pants. Not good.
Anyways I shared my opinion with Pilot, and I was really looking for a metal pen body that took the V5 ink. I guess no such thing exists, since I never heard back from Pilot (not even the automatic confirmation email most places send out), but a few days after I messaged them, a package arrived with a couple of V Ball RT pens that can use the same ink as the V5. The bodies are more or less identical, same materials and features, they weigh the same, but it's a little sturdier and the clip had a lot more though put into it.
I know most people could care less about my pen choices, but if a pen company can get customer service right, why can't larger more customer centric companies not?

Ubuntu's handling of network printing sucks. Apple has proven that network printing doesn't need to be rocket science, so how come a similar "User Friendly" Linux can't get it working without 5+ hours of research and working? It may get fixed after I update to the latest version of Ubuntu, but somehow, I doubt it.
Firewire is amazing, simply amazing. It's the ultimate multitasker when it comes to computer interfaces, handing every thing from printers and scanners to networking to video to mass storage (and yes, you could make random fans, lights and desktop missile launchers too, just like USB). Too bad Steve Jobs had to go and enforce a B**LSHIT trademark, pissing Intel off enough that they dumped Firewire in favor of USB, thereby making it the computer interface standard and dooming Firewire to smaller markets and higher costs. Thank you Steve Jobs. Now to find a IDE to Firewire adapter that doesn't cost more than $30.

I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but I picked up this beautiful steampunk-ish gauge Saturday at the Shelby Hamfest. MAKE has had a few digital signal to analog meter projects in the past, so I'll likely draw some inspiration from them to rig this up.
The other stuff includes a pair of DC motors that will likely see some use in a bike generator or some form of robotics project, two ridiculously cheap (~$16 each) DVD burners, a $20 car stereo that I'm probably going to install in my Mom's car, and a complete with keyboard and mouse indigo iMac that cost a mere $30. I think it's safe to say I have a few projects to work on.

Potential Compact Camera
18.43.52 - Mark
I'm looking more and more at the Panasonic DCM-LX2 (aka the Leica D-Lux 3) but Ricoh just announced something that might be a dead on match for what I want. While it isn't out yet, and the only info on it is a press release, the GX100 looks like it hits on every bullet point in Camera Shopping, with the exception of 16:9 shooting. It even goes further than that. It also takes AAA batteries (nice to have in a pinch), has an accessory hot shoe for external flash and electronic viewfinder (not so sure about that) and takes conversion lenses.
I have no idea about the image quality, which is extremely important, and from what I've seen the price is well outside my range. The press release says 400 GBP, which Google translates as just under $800. In a way it is a fair price, the specs look like a DSLR disguised as a compact camera, but at $800 I could just as easily be looking at quality DSLR kits which while not as portable, are far more proven.
If I haven't committed to something by April, its one more camera to look at.

Camera Shopping (Warning: Long Rambling Post)
04.01.57 - Mark
I've been itching to replace my dead (via my own stupidity) Canon SD300 for a while now. It more than proved its worth but I'm only now starting to get the cash to replace it. What I'm finding however is there isn't a camera out there that matches the feature set I want. The following is a lot of thinking out load. The meat of the post is in the last paragraph or two.
- Size Matters. I'm looking for a small camera. Preferably both size and weight. As much as I love the versatility of SLRs, I'm looking for a point and shoot camera I can keep on me at all times. The SD300 is hard to beat in this field, I usually had it in a pocket or, for longer shooting excursions, a case with a belt loop that held the camera plus extra memory and batteries. The newer SDx00 are nice, but they still have some of the shortcomings I'd like to avoid
- Image Quality. It's not hard to find a 5MP+ camera, but its harder to find one that actually takes a good picture. The SD300 had a fairly good image quality, and offered plenty of image controls. The only downfall really was that it was easy to get motion blur due to the camera's weight. Newer point and shoots are starting to offer image stabilization, but I'm relying on Flickr's Camera Finder to see how image quality stacks up.
- Build quality. I try to take care of my cameras, but they suffer their share of abuse. With few exceptions I don't trust plastic electronics. They don't feel solid and are easier to break. The sd300 was mostly metal and its overall build quality was excellent. I used it for a good deal of Cameratossing in addition to regular day to day abuse and it held together. It only died after accidental exposure to a spin cycle in the washing machine.
- Optical zoom. Digital zoom is evil. The SD300 had a digital zoom in addition to a 3x optical zoom, but that was disabled within an hour of getting my hands on it.
- Manual controls. I may be shotting for a point and shoot, but I need to be able to take over the controls on the camera to get the shots I want.
- Low price. Everything else on this list so far has been screaming the opposite, but I need a camera that doesn't wipe out the bank account. I'm aiming for $250ish, give or take some if I need to get new accessories.
Wants (where things get complicated)
- Video. I want a decent video function. I shot some great video with the SD300. Ideally this means 640x480 at 15fps or better with no length cap.
- SD cards. I've already invested in a couple of 512MB SD cards, I'd like to be able to keep using them. Alternatively, I'll settle for Compact Flash cards. CF cards are cheap enough to buy on their own, and there is such a thing as an SD to CF converter. Mainly I want to avoid anything that uses a weird format, like xD or Sony Memory Sticks
- RAW file format. This is more common on DSLRs but there are some compact digitals that support RAW files. I don't have a problem with high quality JPEGs, but higher quality RAW files would be nice.
- Timelapse shooting. I've always wanted to play with time lapse photography. I've done it manually, but I'd like to have the function built in.
- Image stabilization. I mentioned this with image quality, and its a feature I'd like, especially on a smaller camera. I've got a fairly stable hand, but small light wight cameras take in a lot more motion then you expect or want. Good for camera tossing, but bad for snapshots.
- Wideangle (16:9) shooting. There are a few cameras out there that take wideangle photos, some even take that into movie modes. I haven't really seen it in photography, but it makes sense for the same reasons it does in film. It reproduces images closer to how we actually see the world.
What am I looking at. I'm really partial to Canons, not just because of the SD300, but also because I've never been disappointed in their products. I'm looking at the newer Digital ELPH cameras which are decedents of the SD300. That should be fairly obvious. The SD700 and SD800 are both tempting. They have image stabilization, and all of my accessories will work perfectly with the SD800 AFAICT, but they're currently a bit beyond what I'd like to pay and lack some of my wants. The SD800 also lacks some of the manual controls I need.
Other Canon's I'm looking at are the A710, which is essentially the SD800, plumped up on AA batteries and given the option of conversion lenses. The Canon s80 and S70 are tempting, but they've got several strikes against them for reasons not on the list. The s70 does nearly everything I want, except video - which has a 30 second max, and can be purchased for under $300 is also 2 and a half years old. The S80 which fixes video (but drops RAW) is a year older and pushed my budget.
The Panasonic DMC-LX2 and its predecessor the LX1 have a damned near perfect feature set, only lacking of timelapse photography. The downside is that there are pretty strong arguments against their image quality. Watercolors are frequently mentioned in reviews, but shooting in RAW supposedly helps - some. The big downside is the price, which is well above my price range. The LX1 might be affordable off eBay, but it would be pushing it and I'm not fond of buying a used camera.
I'm likely missing a few potential options. For one thing I want to look at more of the Panasonics. I also find myself drifting away from the ultracompacts (like the Canon SDx00's) and more towards the regular compacts like the Canon A710 and the Panasonics. Fortunately I don't need it tomorrow, I've got a couple months to shop before I'd like to have a good camera in my hands, hopefully some prices will drop, deals will show up, and I'll have time to better refine my need/want list as well as compare image quality on flickr.
What bugs me is that camera shopping today feels a lot like computer shopping a few years ago. There's a big emphasis on meaningless numbers rather than on anything useful. When there's a shortcoming in the camera the response is to throw more pixels at the problem, which is often makes the problem worse. They're also taking away features, not adding them. Few of the compacts and none of the ultra-compacts I've looked at have RAW support, things like manual control and interesting features like time lapse photography are stripped away or avoided when all it would take is a bit of software that clearly exists.

Meet the new BMW X2; India bound in 2018
in BMW
in BMW
Based on the Concept X2, the production-spec version of the X2 was displayed at the Detroit motor show by BMW. The X2 had made its public debut at the Los Angeles motor show at the end of November 2016, and takes BMW's line-up of dedicated SUVs to six. A seventh, the range-topping X7 showed by the Concept X7 at September's Frankfurt motor show, is due this time next year. As with the second-gen X1, the new X2 is based on BMW's UKL platform – the same structure below the 2-series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer, as well as the current range of Minis. It will also underpin next year's third-generation 1-series hatchback.
Conceived to appeal to a younger audience than BMW's existing range of SUV models, the X2 has a unique exterior design largely unchanged from that revealed by the Concept X2 at last year's Paris motor show. Among the new model's defining styling elements is a fresh interpretation of the German carmaker's signature kidney grille. The X2 also sports a short bonnet that allows the base of the windscreen to sit well forward for added interior space, familiar taut surfacing treatment along the flanks and squared-off wheel arches front and rear. Other features include a thin glasshouse by SUV standards, a BMW roundel within the C-pillar and a deeply angled tailgate. Buyers will be able to choose from three styling lines: Basic, M Sport and M Sport X.
With a length, width and height of 4,360mm, 1,821mm and 1,526mm respectively, the X2 is the same width but 49mm shorter and 69mm lower than the second-generation X1. The interior of the X2 shares many characteristics with the X1. Standard features contain black panel instruments and a multifunction steering wheel, but consumers will have to pay extra for the optional 8.8-inch touch-sensitive iDrive panel and a head-up display. With its engines mounted transversely, the X2 is claimed to accommodate up to five adults, although the rear seat is configured in a 40/20/40 layout. Nominal boot volume is put at 470 litres – down 35 litres from the X1's boot, which has a longer rear overhang. Turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engines at launch include the front-wheel-drive X2 sDrive20i petrol unit, which makes 190hp and 279Nm of torque. A 4-wheel-drive X2 xDrive20d diesel also brings 190hp but has considerably more torque at 400Nm.
Topping the first wave of models is the X2 xDrive25d, which runs a more highly tuned 2.0 diesel producing 231hp and 450Nm. The X2 xDrive25d has a 0-100kph time of 6.7sec and top speed of 237kph. The front-wheel-drive petrol comes as standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox – a unit that is due to be available on various Mini models from early 2018. Alternatively, the 4-wheel-drive diesels are equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox as standard. Other models and engines are planned to bolster the X2 line-up shortly after its arrival, including the front-wheel-drive sDrive18i and sDrive18d, as well as the four-wheel-drive xDrive20i and xDrive18d. As we had reported before, the German brand is likely to launch the X2 in India in mid-2018, where it will rival the likes of the Range Rover Evoque. Expect prices in the range of Rs. 40-50 lakh.

It was back to work for me today after the Christmas holidays – so a good time to focus on what I plan for the next 12 months.
I was one of those people for whom New Year resolutions only lasted a little more than a week. Three years ago I adopted an idea that I learned from Chris Brogan, to use 3 focus words for the year ahead rather than those well-meaning resolutions.
This approach seems to be catching on with a number of other bloggers that I follow, the guys from Anecdote are the latest.
In the past I talked about these as the focus for the blog, but this year it is about my overall focus for professional development. In the past year my focus included a number of other publications and presentations rather than the blog as my primary focus for expressing ideas.
My focus words for 2013 are;
- Reflection
- Complexity
- Delivery
Reflection is the starting point; thinking (or Contemplating … if you prefer), on what I have read or done and how I can improve my craft.
This area of focus also includes helping others to improve their craft, and contributing to the overall improvement of Risk/BCM as a profession. It is not just about the formal training and certification of our profession but about promoting and encouraging Reflective Practice. The concept is about 30 years old and can be described as;
"the capacity to reflect on action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning"1
Reflective learning requires intent and the dedication of time and commitment. It is not just about learning by experience, but real experiental learning – where we elarn by reflecting on doing.
To become a profession it is not enough to just have a body of knowledge and certification. We need to continue to learn and improve – not just to better master the fixed body of knowledge – but to expand and improve on it. A profession seeks the continuous improvement of both the practitioners and the way in which they practice their craft.
More on the detailed focucs on Complexity and Delivery later this week.
The picture above was taken from my favourite spot to sit, clear the mind and think.
Where do you go for reflection and contemplation ?
Do you consider yourself a 'reflective practitioner'?

I find Neal an extremely good problem solver. My system was probably a little bit different than most. I already had 16 solar panels before Green Alternatives started out. I called them out and Chris and Neal came and looked at my system. Any two different companies are going to have two different ideas as to how to do installation. Green Alternatives has looked at my system individually and looked at what I wanted to achieve in the future. Everything is working out really well. I'm currently making 50-60 percent of my power for my house.

Congratulations to Elyssia Mayhead who recently had her final year project entitled 'Comparing Nutrient Removal from Membrane Filtered and Unfiltered Domestic Wastewater Using Chlorella vulgaris' published in Biology.
Elyssia Mayhead - BSc Biology, graduated with First class honours
"In preparation for my final year project, I worked with my assigned supervisor Dr Carole Llewellyn to propose the idea of growing algae on wastewater as a means of tackling the twin challenges of environmental pollution and energy security. This project would expose me to a new area of Biology that I had never studied before and allow me to develop laboratory skills.
I worked with scientists within the Biosciences Department , to design experiments using wastewater as a growth medium for microalgal culture with a focus on improving current wastewater treatment. I was extremely lucky to be able to work with Dr. Llewellyn who is a leading scientist in microalgal research. I was also given the opportunity to gain invaluable experience working with scientists at Swansea University who have a background and working knowledge of algal biotechnology for bioremediation of wastewater, Dr. Fuentes-Grünewald and Dr. Silkina. They advised me on culture methods and taught me how to measure algal growth and conduct nutrient analysis. They supported me throughout the project and introduced me to real life laboratory work giving me confidence in my abilities as a young scientist. Together, we obtained great results and the work has been published in the journal 'Biology'."
"Ellie had a great approach to her research project being able to positively tackle challenges along the way". Quote from Dr Llewellyn

NEW DELHI: With recent cut in GST rates on about 200 items, the government today allowed companies to paste a price sticker on packaged products to reflect new MRP until December.
After the GST was rolled out from July 1, companies were asked to paste new price sticker on packaged commodities, which had old rates, with new maximum retail price (MRP) till September, which was later extended till December.
The permission to paste additional price stickers was given under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011.
In a statement, Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said GST rates have been further reduced on some commodities and therefore the ministry has allowed to "affix an additional sticker or stamping or online printing for declaring the reduced MRP on the pre-packaged commodity."
"This relaxation will also be applicable in the case of unsold stocks manufactured/ packed/imported after July 1, 2017 where the MRP would reduce due to reduction in the rate of GST post July 1, 2017," the statement said.
As many as 178 items of daily use have been shifted from the top tax bracket of 28 per cent to 18 per cent, while a uniform 5 per cent tax was prescribed for all restaurants, both air- conditioned and non-AC.
To ensure GST cuts are passed on to consumers, Paswan had recently directed state legal metrology officers to check if companies are pasting the new MRP stickers.

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Against the odds of scorching weather conditions, having no facilities to train in and without a country to compete for, Yiech Pur Biel of South Sudan ran the 800m men's race as part of the first-ever refugee Olympic team in the 2016 Rio Games.
"Training at the camp, I was running barefoot -- no shoes. The weather was dry, from morning to evening it is hot and sunny. After maybe 1 kilometer, I'd take a rest and then continue," the 23-year-old track athlete told UPI.
Ahead of the Pyeongchang Games, which kick off Friday, U.N. agencies based in South Korea held a "talk concert" where former Olympians and opinion leaders shared how the Olympics are not just a stage for athletic skill and sportsmanship, but also a global platform to build a better and more sustainable future.
Biel shared how the Olympics can empower individuals beyond their surrounding environments and circumstances.
He was just 10 years old when he was separated from his mother during Sudan's civil war. Fleeing from the conflict, he settled in Kenya's Kakuma camp, where he lived with 200,000 others.
For 10 years, he'd played football at the camp but in 2015, Biel found himself training to run competitively.
Running made him feel in control of his own destiny.
"It is something I can manage as a person and see if I can do something without other people's support. It can depend on my hard work and discipline. That is what motivated me to continue running," he said.
He still remembers the moment he heard his name broadcast on TV as a member of the refugee Olympic team for the 2016 Games.
"From that time, I took responsibility to say that other 65.3 million refugees are looking upon us to carry this message to others, to tell the world -- we have come to the Olympics. Being a refugee, we can do something. That has made me become stronger and continue to tell our story," he said.
Biel is championing the movement to make the Olympic dream possible for refugees and displaced persons everywhere as a board member of the Olympic Refuge Foundation -- a partnership between the International Olympic Committee and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
"We part the message of hope because many people have lost people in life, especially young refugees," Biel said.
Disabled people, women, and social minority groups can also benefit from the international sporting event, UN Development Program Director Balázs Horváth told UPI.
"Sports is a valuable tool for promoting a just, peaceful and inclusive society. They help build trust and foster a culture of peace between groups -- even groups that are in conflict -- as well as help empower individuals and communities, especially for women and young children," he said.
One core principle of the Sustainable Development Goals is leaving no one behind, which resonates strongly with the Olympic spirit, Horváth said.
"It's about perseverance, it's about being a team player, recovering from inevitable setback and respecting others' achievements. These are all things you would recognize as qualities that are needed for progress in society," he said.
As well as promoting inclusive social advancement through the Games, the conference on Tuesday shed light on how the Olympics can have a long-lasting sustainable impact on the surrounding environment and local communities.
On the highlands of Pyeongchang county, the first-ever "5G village" opened its doors to visitors from around the world, showcasing the fastest communication network technology that will be used during the Games.
Despite its close proximity to urban areas, the Uiyaji Wind Village was previously rundown and lagging in development due to a dwindling population and lack of tourist attractions.
However, South Korea's telecom giant KT Corp. embedded the area with its cutting-edge network technology, turning it into possibly the smartest agrarian community in the world.
Farmers can use their newly installed smart anti-theft devices, based on Internet of Things technology, to protect their produce from wild boars.
They can also promote and sell their products in real time using an augmented reality platform.
Meanwhile, a 5G café allows tourists to test the high-speed next-generation network and buy regional specialties produced by the locals.
The "5G village" project aimed to make the village a self-sufficient and livable community for some 208 residents by boosting sustainable infrastructure, economic activity and resilience -- all part of the SDGs.
"We created the world' first-ever 5G village, which we hope will change the lives of the locals and ensure the legacy of the Olympics lasts in Pyeongchang County beyond the hosting of the Olympic Games," said Lee Sun-joo, senior vice president of KT Corp.
In line with the U.N.'s development agenda, the IOC aims to foster economic, social and environmental sustainability in every aspect of the Olympics by 2020.

Apple has placed order for large screen iPhone 6 model amounting to around 80 million units. In fact, Apple has asked the manufacturers to produce between 70 million and 80 million large screen iPhones. They are expected to get the orders by this year end.
Large screen iPhone 6
This is the biggest startup production of the iPhones, according to the Wall Street Journal. Though Apple has placed the orders, it was not known who the suppliers were.
Last year, there were orders for the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S amounting to somewhere between 50 million and 60 million units. However, it's going to be large screen iPhone 6 models with 11.9cm (4.7-inch) and 14cm (5.5-inch) screen size.
It was earlier reported that the iPhone 6 would see September launch this year. However, an update later followed saying the iPhone 6 launch will not take place this year.
Manufacturers of the Large Screen iPhone 6
Foxconn and Pegatron Corp are the two companies that will start the mass manufacturing of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 variant. The production will get underway from the next month. Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd will produce the 5.5-inch variant from the month of September this year.

The new devices from Apple will be the large screen iPhone 6 – larger than the previous versions of the iPhones iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S.
There will be metal cases for both new variants, which will be pretty much identical with the iPhone 5S. It is also expected that there will be multiple colors for the new Apple phones.
There have been continuous news and rumors regarding the large screen iPhone 6, where news reports talked about the design and the screen size of the gadget being finalized, and that the iPhone 6 will have a 10MP camera.
In-cell Touch Panel Technology
Both the large screen iPhone 6 variants are expected to deploy the in-cell touch panel technology. This technology is built right in the screen and so can make way for thinner structure.
The large screen iPhone 6 has already been postponed. Apple has taken time to get things in place in the hope of having better control over their products.

08 Feb Using Art to Explore Your Creativity
Using art to explore your creativity is a great way to start to identify where your talents and interests lie. Creating things can also be a great way of helping us explore our thoughts and ideas as contemplate taking any new step in life – such as taking the needed steps for releasing the stressors in our lives. Also, as we become more appreciative of the world we inhabit, we become better at noticing things around us. As a result we become better at capturing what we see on paper, even if our results are never destined to published or hung in a gallery!
Some people may have had bad experiences in art classes in school and now believe they aren't creative. Don't worry, the ideas I offer on this site don't require you to be able to create perspective or blend colors from opposite sides of the color wheel!
The ideas and techniques offer ways to tap into your natural talents. They require you only to tear and cut things out of magazines, arrange them in a way that appeals to you – and to occasionally color in blocks of space. Now that doesn't sound so difficult, does it?
The bottom line is that you are creating for your own enrichment and pleasure. There is absolutely no requirement that you share your work or have it critiqued. I suggest that you carefully pick who you share your work with if you have lingering feelings of doubt about your skills!
Creating things is a great way to release stress and anxiety, and letting the lost pleasures from your youth back into your current life. It is also about thinking what you want to get from the rest of your life, and using words and images to work out and visualize where you want your life to go. In addition to your common sense and intuition, there has been research carried out that found that if you know what you are looking for you're more likely to find it.
Sometimes we also want guidance, reassurance that our gut feeling is what we should go with, and art projects can help provide this support. They can also simply provided us with objects we have created that we like to look at! However you feel about being creative, approach new techniques and ideas with an open mind and see what you find.

The quicker route to the renovation of your dreams.
Now you can have your own in-house designer to help you transform your space in a much shorter time frame — with Fiddlehead Interiors' unique Immersion Design process.
With Immersion Design™, as the name implies, Fiddlehead owner and Lead Designer, Lisa Clement, will literally immerse herself in your home environment, working with you for larger blocks of time and getting a first-hand look at the flow of your life within your current space, as well as listening to your dreams and objectives for your renovation.
It's a concept that promises to cut weeks, if not months, off of the entire design and renovation process, while providing a detailed plan for a home redesign that truly reflects your vision and combines the best of our combined ideas.
The Process
Along the way, Lisa will create conceptual sketches that show various layout and detail options that give you the opportunity for early and immediate feedback. Contrast that with the typical approach of an input meeting, followed by a week or more of the designer disappearing to work on his or her vision for the space, then returning for feedback and repeating the process until the details finally get worked out. So it's easy to see how Immersion Design streamlines the entire process and yields a more fulfilling and satisfying solution for you.
Plus, Lisa's free-flowing give-and-take with you on matters of form, function, materials and budget helps spark ideas in you that simply make the eventual design solution more personal and responsive to your needs and desires.

Innovation development: Wellcome Collection
Main Project Content
The Wellcome Collection, part of The Wellcome Trust, asked us to help them develop their thinking for a new digital and physical experience for their new Reading Room. They wanted us to develop fresh ways to bring physical and digital audiences together around their collection of objects and books.
We brought in our good friends and physical/digital experience experts Tellart to work with us on a series of creative workshops to engage with a wide range of stakeholders from across Wellcome, and their architects AOC. We used the creative output from those session and built upon them to imagine and define a number of new ways they could create a blended physical and digital experience in the Reading Room which would also work well for purely remote users.
We have since been invited back to deliver digital strategy development sessions for the wider organisation.

How Hair Transplant In India Functions?
The treatment starts when the best hair transplant surgeon in India discovers how huge your thinning/balding location is and the number of hair grafts you will require to remove the baldness. Following this, the donor location capability is tested, that's at the back and sides of the head where the hair is definitely the thickest.
If sufficient grafts can be taken from the donor's head, then the method usually gets a green signal. At hair transplant clinic in Mumbai, the best hair transplant surgeon in India will extract the hairs from the donor's head and implant them on the thinning place. Remember, hair transplant in India is performed when the patient is fully awake.
What Types Of Procedures Are Used In Hair Transplant In India?
Currently, there are three types of procedures used in hair transplant in India, which are:
- Stem Cell Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) – It's truly the most recent hair transplant strategy that's a lot less invasive and has quick recovery time, and hardly any scars will develop. It ensures substantial hair density and provides normal and long-lasting outcomes.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) – Is definitely a sophisticated and latest approach used for Hair Transplant in India that includes extraction of the hair follicles one after the other, then placing these follicles on the area where baldness is visible.
- The Follicular Device Transplant (FUT) – Commonly referred as the strip method, grafts or follicles are removed in the shape of the linear strip through the donor space. The strip is converted into compact grafts by using a microscope before of implanting grafts in head.
How Much Time Will It Take To Recover After Hair Transplant In India?
Based upon the type of Hair transplant in India you've opted for, the recovery time period will vary. Hair transplant in India is done on an outpatient basis. Within a week you'll be completely fit to carry on with your usual routine and work. However, in some cases the surgeon might ask the patient to rest for at least 10 days or more before getting back on their normal lives.

Your letter can be here, so do write something and share your thoughts with us!
Simply the best!
The album 'The Story of Jazz' by Jackie Davis was originally issued by Capitol Records; it was then called "Jumpin" Jackie". My biased opinion of this record is based on many hours of listening to it, and from the fact that Jackie Davis was my organ teacher back in the 1960's!
By Tom Tuson
This is a wonderful thing that you are doing ..... I meet and had lunch with Mr. Davis while he still lived in the Homested, Fl area around 1993/94. Something that you might like to know is he was very close friends with Jackie Gleason and did several walk ons in the Smokey and the Bandit movies. If you remember the guys driving the truck hauling a load of chickens and a cop car drives them off the road... That is Jackie Davis as the passenger and his Son driving the truck. Jackie did many walk on's in other movies as well. For the life of me I wish I could remember them because he told me of the names.
Jackie Davis, Godfather of the B-3 Hammond
I have owned and listened Jackie 's LP records for 50 years and keep going back to them for the beat, touch, sensivity, and being able to hear the smile on the face of the player. The music is as fresh as today. I like the Hammond sound, and have all of the Jimmy, Joey,& Jack CD's. But Jackie, plays with such expression, and pace change, and feeling. He uses just the keys he needs to make it get under your skin. So many of the other Hammond players, over work the keyboard and loose the Magic of the touch, and the sound that thrills. I bought 'The Story of Jazz' CD so I would have the clean sound, rather then the scratchy-ness that resulted from being over played. Enjoy it, it's worth it....
Jackie Davis deserves to be remembered and honored
Like Wild Bill Davis and Bill Doggett, it so happens that Jackie Davis was another alumni of Louis Jordan's group who decided to mess around with the Hammond organ ... actually he did a lot more than mess around with it ... he MASTERED it.
By Lou Leciejewski
I sure remember Jackie Davis too. Back in the early 1960's I took organ lessons at the Lyon & Healy store in Downtown Chicago (Adams & Wabash) and my teacher was Cosmo Teri (a very accomplished Hammond organist). In one of the 4 teaching studios I remember seeing Jackie Davis at times (my teacher told me who he was). I believe he rented a teaching room at times to practice in since I don't believe he was a teacher there at any time. The other Hammond organ teacher there that I recall at that time was Paul Renard. Myself I had lessons from Cosmo Teri. I am so glad I had him as a teacher since he did publish some Hammond sheet music arrangements and was an accomplished Church organist who did a nice job of training me to play in Church as I did for 15 years total. But yes, I remember Jackie in those organ studios at Lyon & Healy!!
Jackie Davis was a good man....
I'd like to personally thank you for keeping Jackie Davis alive on the internet. He was one of the nicest persons you could ever meet. I'm more familiar with Mr. Davis' work as "Smoke" in Caddy Shack, but am well aware of his work as a musician. Mr. Davis used to live down the street from me when I was growing up as youngster in Miami, FL.
By Wim, your webmaster
Thank you for visiting this website and great that you found this section. I started this page august 2007. Someday a close friend did ask me if I could find some of Jackie Davis' music on CD, some tunes were still in his mind from many, many years back. He just couldn't find so much on Jackie Davis, as an 'experienced' surfer I came up with lots of info on Jackie Davis. And after listening to Jackie's music I was astonished; the happiness, the freshness and the musicality was overwhelming to me. The thing is that I don't have a real Hammond background, I do have some modern Hammond music by for example Barbara Dennerlein and Joey DeFrancesco and had listen to Jimmy Smith and Rhoda Scott. But Jackie got REALLY my attention! I do have a piano background and I love classical piano and jazz, like Keith Jarrett. So I did search the internet and found many interesting details regarding Jackie Davis. Also I found 4 brand-new-never-played LP's only 2 km's away from my home, it came from a collection of a retired former record shop owner and it included the 1980 Heemstede release. Lucky me because my first 'Heemstede' has some clicks and noise. Giving my technical background and experience with websites I thought: Why isn't there a site with a complete overview on Jackie? Info is spread and seems lost in time, and I believe this should not be happening. People should have access to (lost) interviews and for example an LP/CD overview without so much effort; the Jackie Davis site was born. My technical background can be found at www.wimdehaan.nl.
