...FINANCIAL FREEDOM THROUGH FOREX FINANCIAL FREEDOM THROUGH FOREX How to Harness the World’s Money Mountain and Set Yourself Financially Free Greg Secker & Chris Weaver Knowledge to Action Publishing Copyright 2010 Greg Secker & Chris Weaver ISBN 978-1-4461-4437-4 Preface There are more individual, private Foreign Exchange traders now than there have ever been, and the number is growing daily. There are three main reasons for this. The first is the advancement in technology and, in particular, the Internet. The expansion and popularity of the Internet has made it possible for everyday people to have access to the world’s largest and fastest growing marketplace (the Foreign Exchange market) through online brokerages and charting software companies. The second reason is awareness. In the past, individuals were unlikely to know anything about the Forex market because it was really an exclusive club, only for large banks trading with each other. Nowadays, anyone can trade, and people are talking about it and understanding the profound effects that successful money management and Forex trading can have on their lives. The third reason for the increase of individual participation in this market is a lack of confidence in the traditional style of investing— that is giving your money to someone you don’t know and letting them “have a play with it.” Investors have witnessed their pensions and investments underperform for far too long, and they have now decided to manage...

...Frozen With a beautiful combination of catchy songs, life-like animations, and an incredibly well developed plot, this Disney animated film leaves the world frozen in amazement. Released in December 2013, the movie “Frozen” speaks on being different and of love. The main character, Anna, and her older sister, Elsa were extremely close until Elsa’s wintery powers of which she was born with almost got Anna killed. While Anna held on to that relationship, Elsa had shut herself out in fear of hurting someone. Things got worse as their parents, the king and the queen died in a shipwreck, leaving the sisters more alone than ever. Years later, Elsa is forced to interact with others during her coronation, the build up of emotions and feelings gave way. Her powers bursted out, trapping all of Arendelle in a winter wonderland and causing the townsmen to chase out their new queen. Seeing Elsa’s well intentions all these years, Anna goes on a perilous journey where she met many new friends and ultimately shows Elsa that love is the way. In regards to Groen and Franzen's artistic criteria, the movie Frozen would be considered quality art as it exhibits “real” characters, is considered tragic in the sense that it’s realistic, and is relatable. The main character, Anna carries a large diversity of personalities that reaches the standards set by Franzen, being "not either/or but both/and”. At the start of the movie, Anna is a fun-loving, energetic, impatient child who is in love with her...

...Masculinity was important in America in the 1950s when A View from the Bridge is set. Both Franzen and Miller show that masculinity can be expressed by the different characters in his novel in many different ways which highlight the many aspects of masculinity. Both Franzen and Miller present masculinity through the ways in which the male characters interact with each other. There are conflicting views of masculinity in A View from the Bridge; Eddie represents the judgmental views of masculinity. His character is unable to bear Rodolpho’s attitude and appearance as it attacks Eddie’s individual definition of masculinity. “He’s like a weird…with that wacky hair…he’s like a chorus girl” Eddie unloads his feelings and disapproval regarding Rodolpho and his conduct to Catherine and Alfieri who is used as a guidance counsellor for Eddie to discuss his worries, “I see it in his eyes; he’s laughin’ at her and she’s laughin’ at me.” Eddie notices the behaviour of Rodolpho and interprets it in a jealous way to mean he is being made fun of behind his back. Eddie is seen as a strong masculine father figure, whereas Rodolpho is viewed as a blonde feminine acting male figure. Rodolpho sings “Paper Doll” to Catherine which in Eddie’s point of view hints at Rodolpho’s feminine natures. Eddie is threatened by Catherine’s great enjoyment in Rodolpho’s singing, Eddie rises and moves upstage, as an attempt to stop the singing which insults his view of masculinity. Eddie’s bowling buddies are used...

...| Argument Against | Rapidly growing internet population | Strict Government regulation | Source of revenue and talent | Cultures | One of the fastest growing economies | Breaking own “Code of ethics” | | Violating Ethical Standards | 2. From an ethical perspective, what are the arguments for and against entering the market for Internet search in China in 2005? From the ethical perspective Google has an obligation as a Multinational corporation toward human rights, corruption, and freedom of speech. Google’s values are to make the world’s information “universally accessible and useful” and to its informal corporate motto, “Don’t Be Evil”? Going into China the Chinese government as a communist government did not want information made readily available to the public for any content pertaining to certain topics or issues (i.e. the Tibetan opposition, or human rights organization information). The internet freedom that Americans enjoy is “not” the same internet freedom enjoyed by people in China. 3. If Google decides to enter China, how can it do so while mitigating ethically adverse impacts? Please formulate possible options and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. The two...

...free. The Era of Liberal media in Pakistan started in 2002, since then media has become powerful and independent. Nowadays the media in Pakistan enjoys freedom of expression. Independent and fair media is a pillar of any society. The constitution of Pakistan maintains the essentials for a vibrant democracy and guarantees liberty of expressing and the basic principle for media freedom. Although the Pakistani media had to work under dictatorships and governments, which imposed many restrictive laws and principles for media in order to 'control' it, yet the media was not fundamentally affected. Freedom to read or write is important to uncover and disclose the certainty and to safeguard self-development of people and to help ensure involvement of the citizens in a democracy. Freedom of media has never been steady in Pakistan. Different governments used lawful and legal means to control the media from public debate and condemnation. Media in Pakistan usually faces threats, financial pressure and violence. Condition of media after the February 2008 election has significantly been improved. In general, Musharraf regime followed a more liberal strategy towards the media with less restrictions and manipulation. However, condition on the ground was not similar. The system used violent strategy to silence critic’s opinions. Freedom of media in Pakistan was minimized in both print and electronic media by threatening and harassing journalists. There were censorships and government's...

...Freedom of the Press Research Paper Kristine Najar Columbia Southern University Freedom of the press is the right to publish newspapers, magazines, and other printed matter without governmental restriction and subject only to the laws of libel, obscenity, sedition, etc. (Dictionary.com, 2013). Freedom of the press gives the right to circulate opinions in print or on broadcasted radio and television, without censorship by the government. Americans enjoy freedom of the press under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Though we have this right as Americans, we should not abuse it. This paper is an analysis of the problem that we face in our current society in America. I will discuss the history of Freedom of the Press, along with the abuse that we face today from politics to social media. In the United States we pride ourselves on the rights we have. We are the freest country in the world, but with that comes a huge responsibility. Many Americans abuse the free rights others worked so hard to accomplish. Freedom of the Press is just one of those hard-earned rights. Back in the early 18th century, there was a time when newspapers just printed material that was similar to books, pamphlets, and posters. Most of the information in the newspaper from the colonies was reprints of other publications, stories of local interest, literature, advertisements, and opinions (Illinois Press Association Guide to First Amendment and Illinois Access Laws, 1995) Then, the Stamp Act of 1756...

...Freedom of Speech, Hate Speech, & Talk Radio Brice Hinchman Freedom of Speech, Hate Speech, & Talk Radio What is Freedom of speech? Well, the definition for freedom of speech is the ability to speak freely without being subject to censorship or without fear of retaliation from a governing body. There are at least two documents, the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that acknowledge that free speech is an unalienable right and protect it for all. There is another form of speech that may or may not be protected, depending on the circumstances, under the same documents and that is hate speech. Some of the limitations that are put in place by Government, employers, and educational facilities are a violation of what freedom of speech is really about, being able to freely speak your mind, but are necessary to protect the rights and liberties of other individuals. The freedom of speech is a very powerful right that is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Our Founding Fathers set the stage when they wrote the Declaration of Independence by stating that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (Choices, 81). One of these liberties and unalienable rights was the Freedom of speech. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified...

There is another matter to which we must direct our attention… I do not talk about [the Money Trust] because I want to attack anybody or upset anything; I talk about [it] because only by open speech … shall we learn what the facts are. You will notice from a recent investigation (Aldrich) that things like this take place: A certain bank invests in certain securities. It appears from evidence that the handling of these securities was very intimately connected with the maintenance of the price of a particular commodity. Nobody ought, and in normal circumstances nobody would, for a moment think of suspecting the managers of a great bank of making such an investment in order to help those who were conducting a particular business in the United States maintain the price of their commodity; but the circumstances are not normal. It is beginning to be believed that in the big business of this country nothing is disconnected from anything else… take any investment of an industrial character by a great bank. It is known that the directorate of that bank interlaces in personnel with ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty boards of directors of all sorts, of railroads which handle commodities, of great groups of manufacturers which manufacture commodities, and of great merchants who...

...the first time a movie went through censorship because of politics and the law was in 1921. Bhakta Vidur was banned in Chennai and Karachi at its release during the imposition of the Rowlatt Act that put restrictions on Indian imports. Today most critical job is of censor board towards violence and sex. It has to control corruption of mind and to top pornographic films. But to the irony of censor board is ‘Internet’ where just by writing a word sex you can go to any porn site whereas censor board has long panel discussion for 3 second kiss scene in a movie. I don’t say to legalize pornography but the government has to realize the importance of freedom of speech and expression. Movies like Gangs of Wasseypur, Gandu (‘Arsehole’), The Dirty Picture, Miss Lovely and many more are getting international recognition but at the same time are criticized in...

...there are many types of censorship, and the types imposed are different from one country to another. Some countries may impose moral censorship; others impose military, political, or religious censorships. Many people would agree on some of the types of censorships enforced in the countries; however, people have the right of freedom of speech and the knowledge behind political issues, so these should not be censored by the country. Censorship is a problem that is known from before World War 1 and it is still a controversial issue with many people who are with the act and laws set regarding censorship and many who are against. Censorship is the restraint over any type of communication like speech regarding many different matters. For example, being against rules set or some political moves that a country performs, things that are considered to be harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people. These things that constraints are set upon are determined by the government, or media outlet. There are a lot of debates behind the topic “censorship.” One of them is, should governments put regulations on broadcasters, or does that affect people’s freedom, other debates are about...

...What is censorship? How is censorship handled around the world? Censorship can be defined as any manipulation of media in order to hide information from the citizens, and it is handled differently in all parts of the world. In Honduras, the former president, Manuel Zelaya, was overthrown in a coup, in 2009, which brought up the new president, Roberto Micheletti. Micheletti created a new de facto government which had various effects on the citizens of Honduras, including censorship. Censorship caused by the de facto government led by Micheletti caused the killing of journalists, the raiding of media outlets, and the misinformation of citizens. These issues affect the economic and financial security of the country as well as the ability to immigrate...

...books, I am sure you have your favorites that have made a serious impact on your life, but what about all those works that you never got to see, read or feel? Maybe you never will, if they have fallen victim to the act of censoring. “Censorship is defined as the alteration or removal of works of art from public view” (Frank 92). Along with wars, conflicts, cultural influences, and evolution of societies, censorship has had an enormous effect on art of the past and will greatly alter the trajectory of art in the future for better or worse. The one who controls the ultimate decision whether to eliminate or support expression through art will be of the utmost importance in the growth and development of artistic expression. “The struggle for freedom of expression is as ancient as the history of censorship” (Newth). Everywhere free expression has been achieved, censorship follows, never too far behind. One of the more famous acts of censorship occurred when Socrates, a most influential philosopher of history was sentenced to drink poison for “corrupting” the youth with his ideals that varied from the current political and moral codes of his time. This happened in 399 BC. Gives you an idea of how long censorship has effected expression, and this is by no means the first time censorship took place in history. I personally never put too much thought into censorship and the severity of its faults until I read about the Byzantine Empire in chapter six of ArtForms. In the years of 726 to 843...

...project when his advisor, Dr. Boris Škorić, suggested using the blockchain to avoid censorship of messaging. Okupski immediately saw the humanitarian aspects of such a project and dove right in. He also developed the Bitcoin Developer Reference, which aims to provide specifications and API information to help people build Bitcoin-based applications. Okupski was determined to make the application as cost efficient as possible so that dissidents around the world would be able to engage in free speech without fear of governments censoring their messages. This is a particularly serious problem in countries such as China, and in many parts of the Middle East. Using the blockchain seemed to be the most efficient way to accomplish the goal of freedom. Okupski said: "Binding a payments network like bitcoin together with an anti-censorship system forces any repressive government to either accept or abandon both. Abandoning it might not be very smart, however, since bitcoin is an active and growing currency that an economy could benefit from.” The software is relatively simple. Once it is connected to a user’s Bitcoin core wallet and funds are recirculated, messages are transmitted by embedding the data into the fundamental building blocks of each transaction. These can include public keys, signatures and transaction amounts. The sending is not free, but the only fees are those needed to pay the miners who process the transactions. The message’s receiver...
