Business and trading has never been a perfect science. The stock market is not always that stable and it can crash anytime in the face of a very strong variable. It’s why many call trading a gamble, and for some, it can be the gamble of a lifetime. One of the most dominant and strongest industry these days has to do with technology. It’s actually a no-brainer considering that many things around you are tech-related. It’s an understatement to say that humans have embraced technology in their lives. This market, though, may be highly lucrative but an older technology can easily fall off the radar once something new is launched. But just like any other industry, technology is a hit or miss thing too. Tech stocks are falling and everyone (all over the globe) are on their toes, curiously watching the drama unfold right before their very eyes. It seems that all the action from the UK’s election to FBI Comey’s testimony resulted in either decreasing or unstable stocks that has also affected almost all the major currencies in the world.
For a year now, tech shares has been dropping among companies like Apple and Samsung, leading companies in smart technology. Ordinary people may think these big brands are busy making money what with the number of people owning their devices but it seems as if there is actually trouble in paradise.
While it is bad news for the companies involved especially for their founders who lost a couple of billions when the stocks suddenly went all down, it just showed everyone just how volatile these stocks are in the first place to be mistakenly traded as low-volatile consumer staples. Momentum players only try to ride the wave and invest when things are going right but wait until someone just says something bad or makes a terrible prediction in this industry and everyone sells stocks like hot pancakes until everything crumbles down. In an attempt to save their short-term profits, these investors try to salvage what little they have made but it’s actually not a reason to be worried as this downfall is not yet an indicator of an overall market correction.

Some people snicker when they hear that the wild needs protection. After all, it’s the wild we are talking about. In the wild, many plants and animals pose significant danger to the human population. Have you ever thought of petting a wild tiger or lion? That would be insane, right? So how come you often hear about protecting the wild these days? I’m pretty sure that these feral animals can very well take care of themselves and don’t need our help at all. In some way, it is true. However, if you look at the bigger picture, you’d understand why there is a need for wildlife protection at all. The problem with humanity is we only think for ourselves. We don't think for other, sometimes partly endangered, species. As the most superior species on the planet, we use this intellectual edge in taking advantage of our rich natural resources without regards to the future generation. Let us not forget that our lives are fleeting yet the damage we create lives on. Is the kind of legacy you want to leave behind to your predecessors: a drab and lifeless planet because you have used up almost everything it has to offer during your heydays? I feel for all the future generations who have nothing left to enjoy from Mother Nature.
(Via: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-06/07/c_136346828.htm) The very essence of wildlife protection and conservation is to ensure that plants and animals in the wild survive for many years to come and not disappear from the face of the planet forever. Although we rarely see them up close, wildlife plays an important role for everyone here on earth.

Unfortunately, humans are so good in disrupting this natural balance and are even responsible for most species extinction over the past years. What’s even more disheartening is the loss of animals that standout in nature such as whales, tigers, and rhinos breaks everyone’s heart as the future generations will no longer get to see and marvel at them anymore. The disappearance of animals in the wild is also an indicator of the current state of the environment and what environmental issues continue to plague us to this day. Aside from the many practical and psychological benefits of biodiversity, we must protect the wild simply because we can’t have them back once they are all gone. Protecting The Wild is courtesy of Naked Conversations from https://www.nakedconversations.com/protecting-the-wild/ We often mistake religion for faith and vice versa. Is there really a difference between the two? How can you tell your religion is your saving grace when you can’t even tolerate other people’s differences? Religion has sparked many controversies and wars over the centuries. Thousands, if not millions, have died in the name of the religions they professed. But what really is all the fuss with religion? Can it really save you from all your sins and guarantee your place in heaven? But then again, not all religions do believe in heaven. There are so many conflicting beliefs, indeed. No wonder people would die and kill for their religious beliefs. More often than not, you believe in a superior being regardless of your religion unless you’re an atheist, of course. You have this perception that your religion is also your salvation. But when you examine the gospel closely, it does not say anything about your religion being your saving grace. Only you are responsible for your own salvation and it has to do with your deeds while still a living and breathing soul. It is disheartening, though, to witness religion being used by radical individuals in spreading hate and divisiveness in modern society.
These days, being religious do not necessarily mean being morally upright too. Not everyone who professes to be religious actually lead a decent and righteous life wherever you are in the world. Also, preachers don’t always practice what they preach. And despite the separation of the church and the state, the former still meddles with political affairs, thereby tarnishing the image of the church in the eyes of the public.
Again, your soul can’t be saved by just joining any religious sect or denomination. In the end, it’s what you believe in and how you choose to live your life that can determine whether you rot in hell or sing with the angels and the saints later in life. A religion as comprehensive as Islam has also been riddled with lots of controversies, often involving religious extremism and politics.

We often put more value on material things and make ourselves believe that by chanting prayers and going to church religiously can we be saved from eternal damnation. Reality check, salvation does not work that way. We get so engrossed in our fleeting life here on earth that we forget to invest in our eternal life by being a good person both inside out. Remember that you will leave all your material possessions when you enter the afterlife, so reassess your views on religion and spirituality and find out where you are at this point in your life. Do you think you will be saved if you die this instant? If not, try to live your life as if each day is the last by becoming a good brother or sister to everyone around you without thinking of what you get in return. Can Your Religion Save You? Find more on: www.nakedconversations.com from https://www.nakedconversations.com/can-your-religion-save-you/ Nothing is constant in this world. Whether in life, relationships, or material things, those that stagnates are forgotten and lost with the passage of time. It’s even more obvious when it comes to technology. As newer models are released each year, older technologies are rendered obsolete and its value significantly goes down. But it does not mean you should not care for your devices even when they are no longer the latest gadgets to hit the shelves. You don’t necessarily have to throw away your computer after a year or two of using it. You just simply need to upgrade it to protect your device from all those annoying bugs and quirks that have been bothering you for a while. Slowing down of systems? No problem. An upgrade can help you out. By simply building on it, improving, or upgrading it, your computer or laptop can last for years without needing special attention, and avoid any kind of damage to your files and drive. There’s no need to spend a lot of money when a simple and routine upgrade can solve most of your tech problems for you.
These upgrades are here for a reason. Just like with smartphones, these upgrades show off better features that can make your life so much better.
Upgrading computer systems will not only improve the way your system works but likewise reduce its vulnerability to succumbing to cyber hacks or viruses. The biggest tech headache these days is ransomware. Big organizations like the NHS or even private enterprises got the bug and business was temporarily put on hold as computers can’t be accessed in different places all over the globe.
Saying that the Windows XP OS is outdated is an understatement. For an organization as big as the NHS, upgrading their office system isn’t just a practical thing to do but a wise decision as well considering that patient’s files are now on computer and succumbing to ransomware, for instance, can affect thousands of lives. While there’s already a kill switch to the bug, numerous reports still claim that many hospitals still can’t use their computers and it has delayed medications and treatment big time.
Even though it is beneficial to upgrade computer routinely, it is not always the easiest thing to do especially if you have tens to hundreds of computers to be upgraded at a time. But despite the odds, you should seriously consider it because the repercussions can be severe if you suddenly find yourself the victim of the latest cyber attack. We now know how vulnerable computer systems are to modern hacking especially that many are still running on Windows XP. This can all be avoided if you make the upgrade to the latest OS version. Not rocket science at all. Beneficial as it may seem, it helps to know both the pros and cons of making such an upgrade, say to a Windows 10 perhaps. Check out this article: https://harddrivefailurerecoveryblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/17/a-hard-blow-for-microsofts-windows-10/ to read about the other side of a Windows 10 update you rarely hear about. At least you were well-informed of both sides of an upgrade before actually doing it. The following article Why It’s A Must To Upgrade Your Computer Find more on: Naked Conversations Blog from https://www.nakedconversations.com/why-its-a-must-to-upgrade-your-computer/ Smoking marijuana or weed is still considered a taboo in many places all over the world. Some people (especially the older ones) raise their eyebrows whenever they hear people talking about cannabis casually. But times have changed a lot and recreational marijuana is now considered legal in many US states and in several Canadian provinces. Smoke shops and head shops have been seeing increasing sales, particularly when it comes to bongs and glass pipes. With an increasing demand for herb (whether for medical use or recreational only), the looming issue now is if the marijuana industry can meet the people’s demand. In response to the growing demand, weed growers are now likewise growing in numbers and the first cannabis manufacturing plant to be granted a license is found in Eureka, California. Quality is still of utmost importance, so getting this coveted license wasn’t a walk in the park either. And one of the best things to this growing industry is the number of jobs it generates that not only boosts the economy but also makes a difference in people’s lives.
If you are clueless to what is really going on in the Cannabis market, discovering that it is currently a multi-billion dollar industry can be mind-blowing. Yes, millions use weed for various reasons and some states already gave their go signal, allowing their people to smoke it without fear of getting caught and sanctioned. It is a big economic driver in America alone and generates countless jobs in a market that has now been devoured by technology.
The increasing need for cannabis manufacturers is quite obvious with various medical and recreational marijuana stores opening everywhere. Somebody got to supply these places with quality weeds that are worth every penny that people pays for it. The country can now actually benefit from cannabis sales that used to be nonexistent when it was still sold on the black market. But today, taxes can be imposed and everyone is happy that people get their weed fix and the economy is also thriving with its help.
