ETHICS OF INFORMATION The Ethics of Information Technology (EI) is a discipline that seeks to open new field in applied ethics and has emerged strongly from a few years ago in the Anglo world. The remote origins of IE is on increasing mass introduction of computers in many areas of our social life increasingly computerized. Many professions claim for themselves in particular ethics which may be subject to specific moral problems of the profession or occupational activity. The existence of the IE has as its starting point the fact that computers pose special ethical issues and therefore different from other technologies.In the computing profession is to move from the simple application of general ethical criteria to the development of an ethics of the profession itself. Ethical codes of professional associations and software companies are going in that direction. THE COMPUTER PROFESSION The Computer is a very new profession.In little more than three decades, its practitioners have sought status, social recognition and definition of the profession, in short, find his place in the system of professions.
It would not be exaggerated to say, without fear to be wrong, the image that Israel planned in analyzed aspects radically changed in term of few decades, or rather went from a pole to another. Orthodox religious sectors (not so-called religious national) took advantage of favorable electoral conjunctures and negotiated support for Government coalitions in return for release all its young people of enlistment to the army to allow them their sacred Torah study. The process of globalization and privatization that spanned all over the world, also left their marks on israeli society. The combination of the disengagement of the governmental institutions of all responsibility for social support groups weak or needy together with an ideology promoted by the Government of a marked predominance of personal interest to the general, it triggered the intensification of the efforts of many young people sneak by any means possible of enlistment to the army. Anything they earned noisy campaigns of promotion of mobilization or threats of possible penalties. The statistics of recent years are very clear and reflect how distanced in time was that expression all the people army. In 2008 it was reported that 34% of young Jews are not ready for various reasons (young Arabs are exempt by law be submitted to the army). The second fact that reflects even with greater intensity this estrangement is only 4.5% of the population in age appropriate participates in the mobilization of the reserve in the army. The army, for its part, also left virtually all activity that represented a significant contribution to civil society, as it was in its time the artistic and cultural aspects as the educational and colonization of desert or frontier areas. The persistence and deepening of this trend will necessarily lead to the beginning of the programming of a future professional army based in mobilizing fostered by the economic reward and not the enlistment of every citizen according to the social commitment to the security of the State.

Felon Disenfranchisement
There is nothing more important in the world than democratically elected leader. This is because the leader enjoys the mandate of the majority of the citizens in the respective jurisdiction. The right to vote is thus very fundamental to the citizen. In the instance when a citizen is convicted of a felony then this right is taken away, and he/she can longer take part in the subsequent election of leaders.
In some instances, this withdraw from participation is extended even after the offender is integrated back into normal life. It is like to receive a lifetime gag, and this has raised many issues in the United States over the years. It is however important to evaluate both sides before making conclusion on whether former convicts should be allowed to vote.
Origin of the Felon Disenfranchisement
In the days that followed the elimination of slavery in the United States if America (Pettus pg9). There was great question over the right of the black people to vote. The argument was that slavery had ended, but that did not imply a right to vote had been affected. However, due to the black people's resilience and push for recognition the law was amended to aloe them to take part in voting in the days subsequent elections. However, the white folk still found a way to abscond this right to vote. The idea was to ensure that the black people lost their ability to cast their votes in the event that they were convicted for whatever reason. This had been effective for a long time until the law was amended. The law henceforth provided for felon disenfranchisement for all and sundry without prejudice of race or gender. The law was changed to also lonely include capital offenses.
Reasons for Felon Disenfranchisement
The reasons as to why most states have continued to hold on to this law have been objective and very well thought. One of the main reasons is the ability to trust a former convict to make the right judgment. It is argued that a person who engages in capital crimes is either mentally challenged or suffers from poor judgment. Most times in litigation involving capital offenders, the jury first recommends for an intensive review of the convicts mental ability to think.
The ability to reason rationally is questioned with respect to capital offender. The conclusion is that in the case of a capital offender it is hard to trust them or the life of the public when it comes to voting. The election of a leader is crucial and cannot be left in ten hands of a robber or a murderer regardless of the fact that they have gone through rehabilitation.
In the united states of America the federal law is supreme over any law and thus even if the push to allow the ex –convicts a right to vote in their particular states, then the right to choose a president would certainly be our rich. It is important to note that almost 2% of the total population in the United States fall into this category of disenfranchised citizens. While in some state only the convicts who are sentenced are not allowed to vote, in most other states it is simply illegal.
The argument that freedom is supposed to be punitive and to ensure that there is full remorse from the offender is a basis for the stripping of voting rights. Prison is supposed to act as a place for rehabilitation and reflection over the crimes committed. It is also supposed to serve a warning to other people of what may happen to them if indeed they should break the law.
It is therefore recommended that a convict should be stripped of the right they may have so as to ensure that they feel the impact of their actions. It is argued that the continued period of waiting even after release from freedom is to evaluate the changes in the ex-con and to confirm that there have been indeed changes in their personal life.
Retribution can be another basis for the striping of the voting right it does not seem appropriate that even after the conviction of a an offender that they may be released and immediately take part in the process that is supposed to do the general society good.
The feeling of revenge due the perception that the law does not deal with the convict as firmly as it would be expected may give the public a reason to act in revenge or in attempt to install remorse in the ex-convict. However, when the convict is released and it seen that he/she cannot enjoy most of the rights and freedom enjoyed by the other people then there is a feeling of ease and confidence in the system.
The aspect of using a person as an example to the others is very critical. The society needs a system that can inflict pain of the offenders in order to put fear and obedience to the laws of the land to the other people. Of a young man sees the consequences that befall another youth due to their miss deeds then there I s very high possibility that this young man will have the need to chance and become a better person o in the society.
Reasons for Against
Indeed an ex-convict once said, "Without my vote I am just a ghost in this wilderness." The role of punishing offenders has been the role of the governments for a long time. The idea of locking up offenders was inherited from the Greek in the olden days (Lykidis pg 46-48).
Traditionally offenders were excommunicated and left to wonder in solitude the rest of their lives. However, as time passes and the question of where these outcasts actually went began to pop up. It agreed that at the end of it all, these outcasts were being integrated into other societies, and they became better people. This discovery prompted the introduction of jails as an alternative to the previously popular excommunication.
Rehabilitation is supposed to as a healer to an issue that may be reversible. The opponents of the felon disenfranchisement argue that it is wrong to deny a person of their right to vote. They argue that is beats logic to allow ex-con to drive and to sire children yet the only thing they are denied is a voting right. The argument is that you can be able to allow a person give life to another person yet deny them the right to the ballot. The case of poor judgment is highly disregarded because it is not possible to quantify experience.
The period that a convict is I jail should be the only period that he/she is limited in their enjoyment of their rights (Barak pg 61-70). However, after they are free then these people should get immediately absorbed back into the society, and the community should help the people in reconstructing their lives. However, when these people are encounter stigmatization and isolation into only draws them away are most likely to slide back into their former lives. The most appropriate way to rehabilitate an individual into the society is by giving them hence to lead an ordinary life.
During a ruling, the judge reads out the jury's decisions and a final judgment. It might be argued that this report never mentions the deprivation of the right to vote. If, for instance, the judge convicts the person to 7years in prison, the judge does not support the argument for the inclusion of the inhibition to vote. Therefore, this law is implied and not part of a general ruling a court of law.

Dealing with an oily skin is frenzied. If you are not curbing breakouts it, you are trying to hide the large pores left behind by past flare-ups. While it is always important to have a good skin-washing regimen, it does not stop at that.
Sometimes you want that flawless skin that is so much glamorized by the media. It is impossible to have perfect skin when the pores are large and sometimes deep depending on how severe your acne was. This is because the pores are genetically determined and therefore, cannot reduce in size, as we would want them to. Instead, we can only conceal them.
The best way to conceal large pores is by using makeup. Before any makeup can be used on oily skin with large pores, deep cleansing must be upheld. Additionally, a good toner that is able to further curb oil production on skin must follow the cleansing.
A third and probably the fourth product, if you had to exfoliate, to be used on oily skin with large pores is a moisturizer. Even oily skin needs moisturizing to get more of hydration than grease. After using all these products, then you can think of makeup, which comprises another long list. The good thing is that you can avoid some of these face-cleaning products by using natural home remedies for reducing pore size.

You might require steaming your face regularly to unclog pores if you are using this kind of foundation daily.

They miss him!!
Published July 22, 2010
There was no Franck Montagny at the Superleague race in Zolder this past weekend, and we aren't the only ones who missed him.
Firstly, the team finished 12th in the first race and 10th in the third (which sounds better but is actually only second to last).
Meanwhile, there's a post on the Superleague site today suggesting the team aren't happy without him. Apologies for the rather dodgy Google translation:
Franck Montagny is not only a driver swerved to good for any team that is he is also a character and an attraction in itself. There were less this weekend of fun and winks fun in the garage.
I don't know what winks fun is but it sounds like they really missed it. Franck's ex-sort of teammate, Tristan Gommendy, said nice things about him, including "it's always positive when he's there. We will need him." And team manager of I think the Barazi-Epsilon team said of FKM: "It is obviously someone I want in the team. For sure."
Will he make a comeback?

Four Chinese volunteers have completed a 180-day stay inside a mock-up spacecraft on Earth, as China prepares for deep space missions to the Moon and maybe Mars.
The experiment run by the Astronaut Center of China began on June 17, with three men and one woman taking part. Called "Space 180", it involved keeping the four people isolated in a 1,340 cubic-meter environment to simulate what a deep space journey might be like. A journey to Mars is estimated to take about 200 days.
"Our team is great," said Tang Yongkang, volunteer team leader, after they had completed the six-month mission on December 14, local time. "Together we finished the task through hard-work and with encouragement and support for each other. We are the best."
During their time inside, the team grew vegetables and exercised regularly, both important tasks for a deep space mission. They also performed Tai Chi to cope with the isolation, and carried out a number of biological tests.
Food, water, and oxygen were all used and recycled in a controlled environment, something that will be necessary on missions to the Moon or Mars.
The volunteer "taikonauts" (astronauts) were selected from a pool of 2,110 candidates who applied in May 2015. They cultivated 25 different kinds of plants, including sweet potatoes and peanuts, and tested 635 pieces of equipment, reported Yibida. There were more than 10 Chinese and international institutions involved in the experiment, including Harvard University and the German Aerospace Centre.
The experiment is not too dissimilar to ones performed by ESA and NASA. The former was called Mars-500, when a crew of six was kept isolated for 500 days in 2010 and 2011, with their tasks including a practice "Marswalk". More recently, the fourth NASA-funded HI-SEAS study took place in Hawaii, with the latest crew of six emerging from their habitat on Mauna Loa in August after a year in isolation.
China has been ramping up its space exploration efforts in recent years, including sending two taikonauts to an experimental space station called Tiangong 2 earlier this year. The Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) has its eye on sending humans to the Moon in the near future, and tentative plans to send people to Mars.
This latest test further cements their resolve to do so. How useful all these separate ground-based simulations are is up for debate, but maybe in the not too distant future they'll prove to have been worthwhile.

I have neglected updating the blogroll somewhat… the rediscovery of Lesa's great research at The Magdalene Review were a great thrill.
Another old blogging acquiantance of mine, Dan, has performed a successful resurrection (reformulation) of
his Taognostic weblog.
Rev.B has a blog out there, where he recently mused about the "recent explosion of Gnosis in the world"…I am also grateful there is such a profound increase of testimonies, discussions and sharing among Gnosis oriented people here on the Internet, I saw it coming already in 1994 when I logged on and discovered a great many people I never expected to find there, and a great deal of really lucid information on the subject. Welcome aboard, Voodoobilly.. 🙂
The Gnostic Agnostic.. is a rather quiant concept, from my vantage point its a surface paradox, like the injunction to "keep two thoughts in our mind at the same time"… the blog, however, is really well written and thoughtprovoking.
Another really good read I feel I should mention in the same breath is The Funeral of the Real
Pauline Kilear's blog Dodging Invisible Rays is also worth a read.
Not alone as a Gnostic Blogger in Europe, in Scotland there's a blogger who goes by the nickname of A Glasgow Gnostic..

The father of a missing teen believed to have fled to Syria to join Islamic State militants says his daughter never discussed jihad with the family.
Abase Hussen, 47, said his daughter Amira Abase told him she was going to a wedding on the morning she travelled to Gatwick airport to fly to Turkey, and had been behaving "in a normal way".
"She said 'daddy, I'm in a hurry'," he said. "There was no sign to suspect her at all."
Mr Abase said his daughter, 15, sent a text between 10am and 11am on Tuesday. "She said, 'dad the place is a little bit far. I pray my midday pray and I get back'. She didn't come home," he said.
Mr Abase said the family reported her missing at about midnight on Tuesday.
"It's completely different now," he said. "We are depressed, and it's very stressful. The message we have for Amira is to get back home. We miss you. We cannot stop crying. Please think twice. Don't go to Syria."
Mr Abase said his daughter had never spoken about an interest in jihad with him but "maybe with friends". He added: "She doesn't dare discuss something like this with us. She knows what the answer would be."
Police are urgently trying to trace Amira and her friends Shamima Begum, 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16. Their families have also appealed for them to come home.
The girls, who are all from east London and pupils at Bethnal Green Academy, have been described as "straight A students".
Shamima's older sister Renu Begum, 27, (above) said their mother last saw her on Tuesday morning as she got on a bus after claiming she had extra classes at school. "She was just our baby, she was just herself," she said.
Ms Begum said her sister did not leave any messages and there was "nothing unusual about her behaviour".
She said she hopes the girls travelled to "talk some sense" into their friend who went to Syria in December.
"She was upset about her friend leaving," she went on. "She knew it was a silly thing to do. We're hoping she hasn't been influenced in any way to do anything out of the ordinary."
Reading a message to Kadiza, her older sister Halima Khanom (above) said: "We want you to know that we all miss you and we love you.
"Everyone is hurting because we don't know if you are safe, especially mum.
"Find the courage in your heart to contact us and let us know how you are and if you are okay. That is all we ask."
Scotland Yard revealed the girls were previously spoken to by officers investigating the disappearance of the other 15-year-old girl to Syria in December.
But there was "nothing to suggest at the time" that the trio were at risk and their disappearance has "come as a great surprise, not least to their own families", a spokesman said.
The girls left their homes before 8am on Tuesday providing their families with "plausible" reasons as to why they would be out for the day, police said.
They boarded a Turkish Airlines flight, TK1966, which departed at 12.40pm to Istanbul and landed at 6.40pm local time.

If your company is a car, your sales team is the gas pedal. It moves the company forward and it thrives under pressure, so you may be tempted to floor the gas and surge ahead. But we know people aren't machinery, and the last thing you want to do is put so much force on your team that they break in frustration!
Here are some methods we've found that will bring out the best in your sales department:
Make it fun. Have a simple friendly competition. Set a goal (first person to 10 sales, first person to net $100,000 worth of sales) and a prize ($100, best parking space, flowers, one day of paid vacation, gift cards) and watch the excitement build. The better the prize, the more enthusiastic the participants will be! One caveat: Don't let the competition drag on for too long. The wider the gap between the leaders and the stragglers, the less effort will be made by both.
Involve everyone. Build up your team's momentum by getting the whole company invested! Try Fantasy Sales Team, a software program acquired by Microsoft in 2015. Just like in fantasy sports, participants "draft" members of your sales team to form a "fantasy" team that moves up or down in the rankings depending on how each member performs.
Use your stars. Do you have one key player that consistently produces the most sales? Ask them to give a talk about their methods to the rest of the team. Your top salesperson not only understands the same basic sales principles as everyone else, but he or she has learned the optimal way to weave them into your particular product or service for maximum effect. These are tried and true methods. In addition, your team will enjoy hearing from "one of their own."
Practice mock pitches. Do some role play. "Let's pretend…I'll be the salesperson and you be the target consumer." It seems silly, but it can be a great way to learn the finer points of effective sales conversations. Your people need to be trained to respond to anything, and practicing internally is a great way to get fired up for conversations with clients!
Don't be a dictator. As much as it can be given, grant autonomy to your team. Yes, everyone should be communicating and working together – but if there is one department that shouldn't be micromanaged, it's sales. A sales position requires creativity, and creativity requires the removal of red tape. Show your team that you trust them: Provide partnership and support.
Give them what they're selling. Do you really believe that your product or service is amazing? If possible or applicable, give it to your sales reps for their own use. This gives your salespeople personal experience and confidence in the product, and in their conversations with potential clients they can say, "It's amazing! I use this service myself!"
Your sales team is a group of people who are masters at convincing people to do things. They have a knack for delicately applying the right sort of pressure to achieve the best results. So run these ideas past them. Ask what they think would be most effective. And listen, because they're probably right!


text: Home > News Stop appointing unqualified people in PhilHealth, employees urge Duterte ABS-CBN News Posted at Aug 28 2020 05:13 PM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Viber Watch more on iWantTFC MANILA - Employees of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) on Friday called for a caretaker committee to fill in the leadership vacuum after the resignation of its president and CEO Ricardo Morales and the preventive suspension of some of its officers. "We are requesting President [Rodrigo] Duterte to appoint a caretaker who will replace all, the leadership vacuum in the corporation," said Maria Fe Francisco, head of PhilHealth-Workers for Hope, Integrity, Transparency and Empowerment (WHITE). Morales resigned as head of PhilHealth amid the ongoing investigations, citing health as his reason. Morales, a retired Army general, is battling cancer. "We wish president Morales well kasi may sakit siya kaya nagbitiw. But we believe he will still have to appear physically in all these investigations," said Francisco. The union also urged Duterte to also stop appointing people who are not qualified to head PhilHealth. "Please stop appointing people who are not qualified kasi po ang ahensiya po ang natatamaan. Papalit-palit ng liderato kasi 'di po qualified. They don't know the road map," Francisco said. Francisco said their newly-accredited union has submitted a recommendation to the PhilHealth board for a caretaker committee. "There is a leadership vacuum. Hindi lang po ang presidente ang nag resign. Our top posts have been vacated, there's a leadership vacuum. We are requesting a caretaker committee of which labor is represented in that committee," she said. The PhilHealth board on Thursday named executive vice president and chief operating officer Arnel de Jesus as its officer-in-charge. De Jesus has been skipping the hearings at the Senate and the House of Representatives, citing health reasons. "He is also sick. In fact, he hasn't been able to attend the investigations. I don't know if he can withstand pressure of all these anomalies and pressure," she said. She said De Jesus is also part of the executive committee being investigated now. "We are hoping that somebody outside of the existing execom will be placed as the caretaker of the corporation," she said. The state health insurance corporation is facing widespread corruption allegations that have demoralized not only its members, but also its employees. "Kami rin ay nagugulat na nakarating sa ganitong magnitude ang PhilHealth at ito ay nagdulot nga ng pagkuwestiyon ng mamamayan sa kredibilidad ng korporayon. Sweeping na yung allegations from all quarters na ang mga empleyado ng PhilHealth mga corrupt. Nagagalit sa amin ang mga tao kaya demoralized na mga empleyado, nalulungkot sa pangyayari at very unfair sa mga empleyado na nagtatrabaho araw-araw. We brave the virus para lang mapagsilbihan ang mga miyembro," she said. Meanwhile, they also called on lawmakers to put an end to the investigation and hold those responsible accountable.

Financial Spring Cleaning: Tips for Getting Your Other House in Order
As you're pulling out the heavy-duty cleaning solutions, broom, and vacuum to tackle some much-needed home spring cleaning, don't forget that your other house likely needs to be spruced up, too. Your financial house, if neglected, can fall into even more severe disrepair than your actual house. Here are some tips to get you started on clearing the cobwebs in your financial life.
Give Yourself an Audit
How can you begin to get your finances in order if you aren't 100 percent sure what they are? You need to determine what your assets are (for example, how much your home is worth), what outstanding debts you have (mortgage, student loans, credit cards), and your total income/savings—just to name a few things. Only then can you begin to take a cold, hard look at your budget.
Get Your Important Paperwork Organized
For the cost of a few folders and labels, you can save yourself a ton of future headaches by simply getting all your paperwork organized and in the same place. In your home, you may have tax returns, insurance documents, contracts, receipts, and a whole host of other important stuff strewn about. Disorganization is the enemy of financial stability. Remedy this situation. Here's a good guide on which documents to keep and which to toss.
One way to make things a little less unruly is to scan and digitize important documents. It's easier to organize files if they are on your computer, and you can even get rid of some paper copies if you have digital copies. Make sure you back everything up on two formats—hard drive and the cloud.
Set Up Autopay And/or Paperless Billing Wherever You Can
Financial spring cleaning is not just about organization; it's about maximizing efficiency as well. Most bills you pay—credit card, mortgage, car lease, electric, gas, internet—can be set up to be paperless (email instead of snail mail) and autopay (directly debited from your primary checking account on the due date every month). By setting this up on all of your important accounts, you give yourself a dozen fewer things to think about every month and also eliminate the risk of missing payments and owing late fees/unnecessary interest.
Set Up a Savings Goal
Spring is the perfect time to reassess your savings and create a new goal for your fiscal year. Some suggestions include maxing out your IRA contributions, increasing your 401K contributions, and devising a plan to hit your emergency savings account target. For the latter, it's recommended that you maintain between $5,000 and $10,000 for a "rainy day" fund. These savings can be used throughout the year to tackle unavoidable life expenses like car repairs, home damage, and even vacations.
Trim the Fat With Your Subscription Services
Little by little, we all accumulate dozens of small monthly payments linked to discretionary spending. We're talking $9 a month for Netflix or $15 a month for that subscription beauty box or hot sauce-of-the-month club. On their own, they aren't too expensive. They do add up, however. Spring cleaning should involve a realistic look at what luxuries you can afford to support on a monthly basis.
Like a lamp that needs dusting or a rug that needs steam cleaning, your overall finances need a deep clean at least once a year. Focus on figuring out your asset situation, look to adjust your budget to account for changes in income/debt ratio, and look at ways to reduce your clutter and trim the fat where you can.

I realise this is a controversial and unusual opinion to hold, but Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 sucks.
I've always believed IE to be lousy, what with the way it's made entirely out of security holes and by default allows ActiveX to run arbitrary code on your computer and is generally hopelessly inferior to Firefox. But until now I'd never experienced first-hand the horror of inadequate CSS implementation.
I'm trying to remove the existing "body { width: 700px; }" tag in my stylesheet (so that I can put stuff on the sides) WITHOUT either allowing the site's existing contents to change in appearance, or spending two days systematically re-coding all 350+ pages of HTML. This means basically instead of the body being restricted in size, I just make it so that everything within the body is restricted in size: headers, headings, text and footers.
But I can't just put "p { width: 700px }" because not ALL paragraphs should be that wide. The ones that are direct children of the body certainly should be. But the paragraphs contained inside tables or lists need to be smaller: in fact, for these it's better not to specify a width at all. But here's the thing. I SHOULD be able to do this.
According to the CSS documentation on pattern matching, in CSS2, you're supposed to be able to put "body > p { width: 700px; }" to specify exactly this. "body > p" means that only paragraphs which are the direct child of the body will be affected.
But MSIE doesn't support it.
Even though CSS2 is an international standard.

Marius Neset/ London Sinfonietta / Geoffrey Paterson – Geyser
(Royal Albert Hall – Proms 2022, Saturday 3 September. Live review by Rob Mallows)
Not yet a subscriber of our Wednesday Breakfast Headlines?
Join the mailing list for a weekly roundup of Jazz News.
Out of pain, comes beauty.
Geyser – the new composition by Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset – was first written as a response to the emotional impact of the pandemic.
It was Neset's attempt to capture the joy of playing and the outburst of creative energy that erupts, fountain-like, when musicians perform on stage, something which he and others had not been able to do the previous two years.
Then, the war in Ukraine happened.
Neset writes in the accompanying notes that as a composer he felt compelled to rewrite what he'd completed to better reflect the shock and pain of the conflict, generating as a result a musical tour-de-force which over around 65 minutes and eight compelling movements took the Royal Albert Hall audience from darkness and despair to a place of optimism.
I'm more familiar with Neset's playing in conventional line-ups, either his own Quintet, excelling on Morten Schantz Godspeed or with the 'noughties jazz-pop of Jazz Kamikaze, through which he first built his reputation as one of Europe's most exciting sax players and composers.
Late Saturday night, playing with the London Sinfonietta, Neset further cemented his place among the elite of European jazz through bringing together improvised and composed music in such an exciting way.
Stage right, the Sinfonietta, ably conducted by Geoffrey Paterson. Stage left, his quintet, all familiar names on the London jazz scene: Ivo Neame on piano, Jim Hart on vibraphone and percussion, Conor Chaplin on double bass, and Anton Eger on drums.
(Eger, incidentally – sporting a mane of bleached blonde hair redolent of Doc Brown from the Back to the Future franchise, flowing majestically in time with each cymbal crash – was dressed in tie, blazer, badge and pocket square for the show. He made for a compelling figure behind the plexi-glass screens as, through the course of the evening, his drumming increased in intensity, requiring the blazer to be discarded half way through.)
Centre stage stood Neset, bridging the two worlds.
With an expanded palette to play with, and the world's most famous concert hall to fill, Neset ran riot in a spellbinding performance that ran the gamut of musical emotions and secured energetic applause and hollering, and three curtain calls, from a third-full but enraptured Royal Albert Hall audience (this being a Proms Late, it finished around 1125h, prompting a rush for the last trains home).
And what of the music?
It opened with stark, staccato strings and emotionally charged chord choices from orchestra and band, reflecting the darker tones Neset added to his original composition in response to Putin's war.
As these themes developed – reflecting something of a cinematic score feel at times – Neset's interjections on soprano and tenor saxophone and Neame and Hart's discordant, stuttered chords, plus competing time signatures, created an unsettling sense of chaos. As orchestra and band upped the intensity in the early movements, Neset hunched down centre stage – head bowed, arms resting in front of his knees, almost in supplication – redolent of a man in intense pain, experiencing the musical sturm und drang being played out behind him.
But then there came a reset, as the tone of the music changed and looked upwards. The epic runs and sustained upper register sounds from Neset's sax made the most of the massive space available and soared and swooped as he explored themes of redemption and rebirth on the back of brighter tonal choices.
Towards the end, like the eponymous Geyser, the players, having absorbed the build up of pressure from what had gone before, exploded on stage in a musical release of tension and joy which offered an uplifting end to a composition that rounded all the emotional bases before heading to home.
Neset's quintet and the London Sinfonietta meshed seamlessly, each playing to their strengths, creating a musical pairing that embodied the old but nevertheless valuable cliché that the whole was something more than just the sum of its parts. For Neset (this was his third collaboration with the Sinfonietta), it is a chance to expand and explore, test himself, bring his increasingly recognised compositional skills into play, and to react expansively and exhilaratingly to the world around him.
With Geyser, Neset has mined a musical mother lode of ideas, and you could see at the end that the exhaustion from doing so. The countless hours of composition, of re-considering and rethinking, of rehearsing and refining had all been worth it.
Geyser was commissioned by the BBC Proms

In Scotland, 16 flood alerts and 17 flood warnings are in place.
There are two severe flood warnings in Wales – in Pontypridd and Aberdulais – along with 53 flood warnings and 51 flood alerts.
After today's downpours, the weather looks to clear up as Storm Dennis weakens this evening.
However, there is still one wind weather warning in place for Monday.
In effect until 11am, the warning covers all of Northern Ireland, Scotland, the north of England and the west coast of England.
The Met Office said: "Some very strong winds are likely in association with Storm Dennis.
"Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely quite widely within the warning area for much of the period. Gusts of 70 mph are likely at times, more especially across western Scotland on Sunday afternoon and evening, as well as in association with heavy showers elsewhere.
"A separate swathe of 70-75 mph gusts probably crossing the far north of Scotland and Orkney for a time early on Monday."

"Windy with strong to gale southwesterly winds, severe gales along west coast. Maximum temperature 7C."
The latest UK forecast from the Met Office says: "Rain soon clearing the far south-east of England, then colder with a mixture of clear spells and showers, these heavy and squally in the west and north with a risk of hail and thunder.
"On Monday, windy with sunshine and showers, these heavy at times with a chance of hail and thunder and falling as snow over higher ground in the north later.
"Sunshine and showers on Tuesday, some heavy and wintry in north."

Montana Senate Greenlights Recreational Cannabis
This year, business owners attested before the House Business and Labor Committee against Montana's cannabis legislation. The bill would allow approximately 115 cannabis dispensaries in the Treasure State.
Last week, the Montana Senate approved the bill supporting the legalization of cannabis in the state. This also comes after the Montana GOP attempted to block cannabis legalization. The addition of Montana marks the 40+ state that has implemented pro-cannabis legislation. We love it when a plan comes together.
Montana's cannabis culture, 2020-21
One of the states that shocked the cannabis community was Montana, passing legislation that supports the legalization of cannabis throughout the state. Unlike other states seeking legalization in 2020, Montana did not have any pro-cannabis laws on its books. This means that compliance and enforcement will be entirely new for all parties, from the significant legal guys and law enforcement to the cannabis companies and recreational Montanan stoner. The Treasure State will not provide legal access to cannabis until early 2022The Big Sky Country is likely to become a 'Big High Country' as possession and consumption of cannabis by adults 21 or older will be completely legal.
Unfortunately, government officials ignore the cries of most Montanans who voted in favor of legalizing cannabis in the state just last year. Montana legislators have outright opposed a request from Montana's Department of Revenue for money to fund the voter-approved cannabis legalization program. This maneuver is a tactic to delay the launch of legal cannabis sales in Montana. The governor proposes to shift future tax revenue from sales to programs that are different from what was outlined by the bill passed by the residents in favor of legalizing cannabis in late 2020.
House Bill 588 and Senate Bill 701
According to the amendment to the recently approved cannabis bill in Montana, half of the revenue associated with cannabis would help fund environmental conservation programs. However, there is a small catch. This type of fund allocation would grant reduced funding for veterans services, health care, local governments, and the general fund for Montana.
The Montana Senate approved House Bill (now Senate Bill) 701 earlier this April. This bill legalizes cannabis for Montana on a recreational level. Before implementing SB 701, the call for recreational cannabis was referred to as the I-190 Initiative. The Montana Senate noted that the bill is supported by a "wide margin," so passing SB 701 makes the most sense.
Montana, the new marijuana Mecca?
Now that Senate Bill 701 has passed, there is only one thing left to do: signing into law. Montana Governor Greg Gianforte must sign the bill into law for it to become effective. Like most cannabis legislation, the turnaround time for compliance and regulation is likely within the next two years. This means that adults 21 years or older should purchase recreational cannabis in Montana no later than July 1, 2023. This will give time for lawmakers to navigate the red (or should we say green) tape. Montanans believe that The Treasure State will produce some of the most potent cannabis distributed in the nation. Consumers think that the land is extremely fertile, with a statewide focus on agriculture held by virtually all Montanans. Only time will tell.
Montana marijuana market projections
Legalization in Montana expects to bring in more than $2 million in costs surrounding the state-approved program. In the months leading up to the voting of cannabis legalization in Montana, economists at the University of Montana projected that a licensed cannabis industry could create more than $50 million in tax revenue per year once the market is up and running. We can't wait to see what The Treasure State has to offer.

Defenders of Victims of Peer Aggression: Interdependence Theory and an Exploration of Individual, Interpersonal, and Contextual Effects on the Defender Participant Role
Document Type
Journal/Book Title/Conference
Developmental Review
Academic Press
Publication Date
First Page
Last Page
The research on predictors and effects of defending victims of peer victimization and bullying continues to grow, but most research on this topic is lacking a strong theoretical framework. This review of defending research introduces interdependence theory as a theory with the capacity to organize many of the empirical findings from the existing defending literature into a meaningful whole. Other theories used to frame defending research are described, and limitations of these theories are discussed. Framing defending research within interdependence theory leads to new research questions. These include: (1) who defends whom and why?, (2) through what processes do individuals in the peer group internalize peer group norms in regard to peer victimization, and how do these internalized norms affect individual perceptions and beliefs that then guide behavior?, and (3) what are the individual and interpersonal factors that affect whether bystanders defend peers, and how does intervention in peer victimization situations affect defenders in addition to victims? Framing defending research within interdependence theory allows for the organization of previous findings and will guide new research.

Of course, the silver bracelet was originally something for an adult, and Su Tang was still very young, so her wrists were small and thin and the bracelet could barely stay on. However, despite the slightly ridiculous sight of the oversized bracelet on a child's small arm, many of the villagers were too shocked to even notice. After all, such a bracelet had to be worth a few taels of silver at least, so they all wondered where Chen Xiuxiu had gotten the money to afford it.
"That's right. A few days ago, Auntie Sun asked me to make her these two cloth bags but, before I could deliver them, something like this happened, it's such a shame. Oh, but it's all thanks to Auntie Sun's help that things have turned out so well this time. If not for you who knows if I would have ever seen my iron pot again."
Once the bracelet was on Su Tang's wrist, she began to smile innocently and her tone completely changed in an instant. Not even mentioning Wang Changhe, even the people who know her like Su Yongqiang and Su Yongshun were stunned by this sudden switch. What was going on here?
But Chen Xiuxiu was very quick on the uptake, and when she heard Su Tang's prompt, she hastened to say, "Isn't that right? Ah, Sanshou's wife is just so poisonous. She was even hoping that you two siblings were dead. Fortunately, your hard fate also gives you a long life, or else… well, I won't say anymore. I'm just glad you're both alright."
Seeing these two suddenly start acting like two great friends simply amazed the group of onlookers.
The orange cat just sighed, 'Tch, am I seeing the legendary plastic sisters now?'
Unhappy with the mocking speech bubble above the 'Divine Beast's' head, Su Tang calmly retorted. 'I'm starting to think that it's time for you to lose some weight. Starting today, you need to run from Sujia Village into town five times a day, every day!'
Then she continued, 'Heh heh, and what kind of sister could I be with Chen Xiuxiu anyway? There's me, a beautiful little sister with a flower-like appearance, and then there's Chen Xiuxiu… with that kind of face, tch, who would believe it?'
Of course, the orange cat immediately capitulated, 'Well you aren't any kind of sisters then, whatever. I've done my part, okay?'
Su Tang: 'Humph.'
Wang Changhe really hadn't expected the conversation to go in the direction and, naturally, his face turned a little ugly as he asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Seeing that he was unhappy, Su Tang sneered at the old man in her heart but, on the surface, she just smiled and guilelessly scratched her head. "Uncle Village Chief, I think Auntie Sun is very pitiful. It was only a little bit of grain, and she was probably just confused in the heat of the moment but didn't mean anything by it."
"Bah, if she's pitiful, then I'll…" Madam Zhang began to retort immediately. She really couldn't understand what was going on. Hadn't Su Tang always been tough and unyielding in the past, never willing to let anyone take advantage of her? Why was she so different today?
Su Yongqiang was also confused, and he sent a questioning gaze at Su Tang. But in response, Su Tang minutely shook her head, obviously telling him not to say anything. He waffled for a moment but finally decided to let Su Tang handle this.
Wang Changhe had only come here so quickly this morning with his son in tow because he thought this was an opportunity to finally peel back their masks and show his son what kind of people Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Tiezhu really were. And, in the best case, he had hoped to take advantage of the situation to make it so that Sun Guihua would never have the chance to pester his son again for the rest of her life.
He had thought that everything was going very well until Su Tang suddenly and inexplicably decided to reconcile with Chen Xiuxiu. Now that he realized that there was no way he would be able to brand Chen Xiuxiu with the label of 'thief' this time, he was very unhappy. He sent one final glance at Su Tang, snorted, then shook his sleeves and turned to leave. "Xiaotian, let's go."
Wang Xiaotian was still a bit confused. "Huh? Dad, is it okay to just leave like this?"
"It's fine. It seems the Tang girl has the ability to take care of everything." And with those words, Wang Changhe really just left.
Su Yongqiang walked up to Su Tang, squatted down, and whispered, "You should know that Wang Changhe is not a generous person, now that you've done this…"
"Heh, what? Only he can use me, but I can't use him? Brother Yongqiang, have you already forgotten how that man became the village head?" Su Tang snorted dismissively.
Su Tang had never expected that Wang Changhe would sincerely help her from the beginning. After all, it only took a little bit of thought about why the village head of Sujia Village was surnamed 'Wang' instead of surnamed 'Su' to understand the relationship between her family and his.

NEW PROGRAM: Financial Tools to Achieve Science Based Targets
Financial Tools to Achieve Science Based Targets
About the Apparel Impact Institute: Aii identifies, validates, funds, and scales proven quality solutions to accelerate positive impact in the apparel and footwear industry. Aii programs focus on areas that result in positive environmental impact from the production of apparel and footwear products to improve the industry. To learn more about this program, email Lewis Perkins
Project Context:
As an Addendum to the WRI & Aii joint report on "Apparel & Footwear Sector Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions," Aii is investigating the total financial funding/ investment required to achieve the implementation recommendations from the report, as well as identifying the most promising areas for financial capital to play a role. We believe this work will provide direction for future pilots of financial tools, with the ultimate goal of creating a larger role for financial capital in facilitating the energy transition of the apparel supply chain.
Part 1. "Size of the Prize" Analysis on Key Reduction Opportunities
Aii team, along with research partners, will quantify the estimated financial investment required to decarbonize the apparel & footwear supply chain. For example:
- Deploying renewable energy for tier 1 – 3 facilities (onsite and offsite)
- Transition out of coal as a thermal energy fuel source
- Expanding mill improvement programs to X% of mills globally
- Scaling up the use of lower-carbon materials (e.g., what will it take to take rPoly from its current market share of roughly 14% to 50% or more?)
- Other potential levers for decarbonization
Part 2. Mapping Available Sustainable Financial Tools and Key Barriers / Accelerants
Aii team will map the landscape of currently available financial tools/instruments that manufacturers/brands can access (e.g. supplier trade finance, green bonds) as well as identify promising new financial tools/structures. Additional value will come from bank and industry perspectives on the challenges and accelerants to broader adoption of these tools (e.g. loan must be at least a certain size for bank underwriting). Examples of apparel brands that have utilized these financial tools will also be included (e.g. Walmart, Puma).
Project Timeline:
|Month (2021)
|Project Activities
|Methodology review, identify interviewees and data sources
|Data collection and stakeholder interviews
|Final stakeholder interviews and Size of the Prize modeling
|Draft report and initial conclusions
|Stakeholder review and comment period
|Finalize report and conclusions, prepare for public release
|Report released publicly, webinar/panel event (TBD)
This project is funded by HSBC

Chelsea will be without Diego Costa for Sunday's west London derby with QPR - but who do you think Jose Mourinho should pick at Loftus Road?
The Spanish international striker suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury during the Blues' 2-1 win over Stoke and faces two weeks on the sidelines.
Loic Remy is expected to deputise once more, having netted another winner against the Potters at the weekend, with Didier Drogba likely to have to settle for a place on the bench.
What do you think Chelsea chief Mourinho should do?

MySpace Tom has picked up a new hobby since retiring in 2009, and he couldn't have chosen a better one!
Instantly recognisable by his grainy, small profile picture the size of a stamp, MySpace Tom was everyone's first friend.
Back in the day, after signing up to the new hip social networking site MySpace, you'd check your new profile to find you've already made a friend. MySpace Tom, or Tom Anderson to use his real name, was the co-founder of the once popular site and everybody's default first friend.
Obviously the OG social media platform is no longer a thing, back in 2005 MySpace sold for a huge amount of money, making Tom extremely wealthy and able to focus on his other passion in life.
How much was MySpace sold for?
In 2005 MySpace was sold to News Corp for a whopping $580 million earning him enough money to never have to work a day in his life again. He did stay on as president of the company until 2009 but ultimately retired aged 39. It just goes to show his love for this art form as he doesn't exactly need a travel photographer's salary, does he!
After spending a couple of years enjoying his retirement, Tom discovered his love of photography at the 2011 Burning Man Festival. Since then he has spent his time traveling around the world to exotic locations with his friends and his camera shooting epic travel photography.
Taken from his Instagram bio:
Former 1st friend, enjoying being retired. Phototaking has been my hobby for 4 years. New mission 2 help others & engage!
Admittedly he probably doesn't have as many followers as he used to, but with over 651,000 on Instagram, 246,000 on Twitter, over 1 million on Facebook and over 6 million on Google+ he's not doing to bad…
He currently lives in Hawaii but travels to places like Thailand and the Maldives to capture his beautiful images.
You can also follow his work through his blog www.stopworkingstartplaying.com but in the spirit of tradition you can access it though his old domain name which redirects to the new site.
The old domain? Yep you got it, myspacetom.com.
Tiger's Nest, Bhutan. ?? When I first told people I was planning a trip to Bhutan, very few knew what I was talking about. ?Where? What? For those that did know Bhutan, it was always for one of two things: 1) the pleasant idea that the government and King make policy decisions based on the principles of "Gross National Happiness" and 2) the Himalayan Buddhist temple, Tiger's Nest which I've posted here. I'd seen photos of Tiger's Nest for many years, but photos do not give you a sense of just how high up it is! ?? I'd had the impression that Tiger's Nest was perched just above a city, and that you could look up and see it from a town below, sort of like the Potala Palace in Lhasa. That's not the case – not even close! You'll probably never see a photo of Tiger's Nest from the valley floor on Instagram because it would be so boring—in a photo taken from the bottom, Tiger's Nest would be just a tiny speck on the mountain side. ?For Americans or anyone who has been to Yosemite, imagine you're standing on the valley floor and looking at the very tops of the highest rock surfaces and you see a small speck that *might* be manmade. That's the best way I could relate to you how high up this special Bhutanese monastery is. To visit the viewpoint from where I took this photo, you start at a forested valley floor, and hike up several hours. ????♀There's no rock climbing involved, and its only steep in a few places, but the sheer length of the trek makes the existence of this place that much more remarkable. It's not just its beauty and the seemingly impossible engineering that gives you a sense of awe, it's also the idea that every piece of wood, stone, every relic and jewel housed inside, was carried up one by one. ? Pro Tip: If you decided to visit yourself, start your journey before dawn, or in the afternoon, and you're likely to have the viewpoint all to yourself. We did 🙂 !! We were there so late, we came down in total darkness. Remember your flashlights.
His friend and fellow photographer Trey Ratcliff helped to develop his skills. His main love is for landscapes but isn't afraid to get creative. He says:
I'm not necessarily trying to represent nature exactly. I'm trying to make something beautiful like a painter would.
Becoming a travel photographer is never easy, but when you sell your company for $580 million while still in your 30's that has to help towards flight tickets, at least a little bit.
But in all seriousness the guy oozes talent and can confidently say he's successfully transformed from tech giant to creative mastermind.
Go check out his IG grid and follow him, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
He's also come good on his promise to engage with his fans. He posts tips, tricks and helpful info on his IG Stories to encourage people to get into photography, or for more experienced photographers to step things up a level.
Lately I've been meeting a lot of "lost" people that seem to suffer from a crisis of confidence. I'm trying to help where I can. You don't always have to understand the path forward. It's OK to be lost at times. Crisis begets growth. In fact, some research shows that crisis is one of the few things that can really change us after age 25. If you're feeling this way, just know that things can change in a moment — a chance occurrence can change your life forever. In the meantime, fill your brain with good ideas, follow the signs that life is sending to you, be open to what's possible. If you're doing OK in life right now, give your smile and empathy to strangers and friends. We never know what someone is going through. What does all this have to do with this photo? Haha well, I suppose this photo gives me a feeling of hope and a reminder that life, despite its conflicts, is always a beautiful thing. ????
Hello IG! Sorry I disappeared for a week–and thanks to those who asked where I went! No, I did not fall in the lava! Haha ? I just spent an action-packed week in Hawaii: first on the Big Island, then the island of Lanai (first time there!) and finally on my home island of Oahu! I was experimenting with my drone a lot and visiting with friends… I think tomorrow I'll make a story that shows some of what I did during the week! ???? Here's a shot of Waikiki and one I think may surprise those who've never been to Oahu. This is part of why Oahu is my personal favorite of the ? Islands–Oahu feels like a major international city with all the benefits (food, people, culture) but it's also just a short drive to the world's best beaches, jaw dropping mountain ranges and scenic hiking trails. Aloha ??? Just landed at LAX — now I'm back in Los Angeles and ready to look through and process some new photos! ??
I'm a professional travel photographer, and I've been living the digital nomad lifestyle since 2016. I make money by working on client assignments, selling stock photography and helping other photographers by sharing my experiences on this website. I move around at my own pace (I hate fast-paced travel) and like to spend a few months getting to know each place I base myself in.
My writing and photos have been featured on industry leading websites such as Digital Photography School, Atlas Obscura and the world's leading underwater photography resource The Underwater Photography Guide. I authored an eBook called "Breaking Into Travel Photography: The complete guide to carving out a career in travel photography" that has been published on Amazon. My stock images have also appeared in ads promoting destinations and companies that sometimes has been a surprise, even to me. But I guess that's the nature of stock photography, you never know who will license them!
I'm always happy to connect, so feel free to reach out!

In a non-precedential decision that appears to have been fairly easily reached, a Federal Circuit panel affirmed a district court's summary judgment of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 101 for patent claims directed to migrating computer configuration settings. Tranxition, Inc. v. Lenovo (United States) Inc., Nos. 20151907, 20151941, 20151958 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 16, 2016) (opinion by Chief Judge Prost, joined by Judges Reyna and Chen).
Claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,728,877 and 7,346,766 recite methods for "automatically transitioning," from one computer to another, an individual user's computer settings, "such as email addresses, desktop settings, and stored passwords." The court considered claim 1 of the '877 patent (available here), which recites "[a] method in a computer system for preparing configuration settings for transfer from a source computing system to a target computing system." The court easily concluded that this claim was "directed to the abstract idea of migration, or transitioning, of settings."
Then, turning to the second part of the Alice patent-eligibility test, the court explained that
Tranxition argues that the claims contain an inventive concept because a manual process would not necessarily capture all the configuration settings in a computer and that there is no record evidence showing that the automated transition process operates in the same way as a manual process. These arguments miss the mark. Though a computer could potentially have dozens, if not hundreds of settings across numerous applications, the claim language only requires one or more configuration settings. It does not provide a maximum number of settings. Further, it is not relevant that a human may perform a task differently from a computer. It is necessarily true that a human might apply an abstract idea in a different manner from a computer. What matters is the application. "Stating an abstract idea while adding the words 'apply it with a computer'" will not render an abstract idea non-abstract. [Citing Alice.] There must be more.
In this case, there was not more:
Here, the claim instructs a practitioner to (1) provide configuration information, (2) generate an extraction plan, (3) extract the configuration settings, (4) generate a transition plan, and (5) transition those settings to a new computer. These steps, both individually, and as an ordered combination, do not disclose an inventive concept. They merely describe a generic computer implementation, using "routine, conventional activities," of the abstract idea, "which is insufficient to transform the patent-ineligible abstract idea into patent-eligible subject matter."

Financial education is a must in 2021
Regardless of your risk taking tendencies, there is one factor that we all should take into consideration throughout our careers and lives – our finances. In today's world, as savings accounts and other conservative financial instruments bring little to no return, a prudent individual should have a basic understanding of the financial markets arena.
While many courses about the financial markets in general, and stock trading in particular cost a fortune, many invest and trade on the financial markets without prior knowledge. By doing so, such investors and traders are exposing themselves to risks that they are not aware of, and put themselves at a disadvantage compared to more educated and experienced players in the market.
Taking advantage of highly regarded courses that teach you the very basics of what you need to know about the financial markets is often the difference between success and failure in the financial markets.
The structure of the free course
Day trading education packages run from as little as $200 and up to $9,000. As we have seen that those who buy the $200 package find it so very helpful, we decided to give it away for free. We have decided to do so as we believe that the very basic financial literacy should be in the public domain and not kept a secret that is only known to a fortunate few. We now invite the general public to come and get our $200 basic financial literacy course for free.
The course includes several chapters that cover some of the most important aspects of the financial markets, investing, and trading.
First, the course discusses the importance of acquiring knowledge. Knowledgeability should be the key approach to the financial markets. Just talking about the financial world often makes many inexperienced new entrants to the markets cringe. This chapter discusses the best way to approach the market, and that is in a knowledgeable manner. Approaching the markets without prior education and understanding is as risky as trying to fasten a screw with no screw driver – you will try doing it the wrong way, and you are likely to end up getting hurt.
Patience is always a virtue, but in the financial markets it is sometimes the difference between success and failure. You are not going to be a millionaire on your first day trading US stocks. It is true that many famous investors like Warren Buffet, George Soros, and others, did make many millions of dollars trading and investing in the US stock market. But they definitely haven't done so on their first day. Take baby steps. It's ok to dream big, but start by acting small.
Every occupation has its own lingo. Lawyers, doctors, construction workers – all of them have words that a layman would not understand. The financial ligo, however, is everywhere and is crucial for everyone, including yourself. Whatever you do for a living, you are likely to have a savings account or some sort of a retirement or pension plan. It is important to understand that any financial decision you make on those, including the risk preference you choose to take, could be the most important financial decision you will ever make. Managing your money requires you, at the very least, to be able to speak the same language as your financial advisor.
Win access to more advanced financial education packages
It is important for you not to just "skim read" through the material in the free, $200 worth course. We want you to learn and make sure you understand every bit of it. In order for us to verify that you are working hard and reading closely, we will test you at the end of the course. If you pass the test – we will provide you with a free upgrade to one of our more advanced courses. Our more advanced courses will teach you everything you need to know how to day trade and invest in the financial markets during the covid-19 pandemic, and the aftermath in 2021 and beyond. All of our advanced courses are constantly updated to make sure that they remain relevant and can help you get up to speed with the latest news and developments in the financial world.
We have seen many of our students regretting not having taken the opportunity to start gaining their financial knowledge at an earlier date, as they were too timid to do so. It is important to remember that there is nothing scary in finance. Just the fact that you learn about the financial markets doesn't mean you have to do anything about it. The earlier you start to get educated, the less anxiety you will have when discussing the financial world in the future.
