ism of the facebook page Radical Unschooling Info. Same thing; if nobody was there, it wouldn't exist. Always Learning has moved, but still exists in 2022, as this page is being created. Even before unschooling starts, divorce can prevent it. In the 1990s, my phone number was listed, without anyone asking me, in a book in every library in Albuquerque and surrounding towns, as the contact person for unschooling. I would get calls from moms wanting to know what they needed to know or do first. Those calls continued for over a dozen years, tapering off in those last few years. One of the first questions I would ask was whether she had a hostile exhusband. If the answer was yes, I would recommend homeschooling with a curriculum, at least at first. Even when people are motivated to understand unschooling, and are happy and hopeful, it takes years to fully grasp and relax into it. When someone is hostile or resistant, it can't begin to be understood. Social workers and judges are very unlikely to even try to unders

tand it. Some worstcase endgame moments Twice I was called by very sad mothers in other states, asking me if I could testify as an expert witness in a formal divorce hearing. I couldn't. There is no "expert" status in unschooling because the legal system will want to see degrees or certificates. They're used to doctors or researchers being "expert witnesses." There is another reason I couldn't have, though. EVEN IF by magic I could have transported myself to that hearing and been accepted as a witness, I couldn't testify that unschooling could work well with those people, in that family. Apparently, it was NOT working very well because it was a factor in a divorce or custody consideration. I'm still sad, deep inside, when I think of the fear in those voices. Since then, I did serve on paper as a witness, for a family in another state. I had met and been around all of the members of the family, over ten years, and had seen them in three different states some of them in four states, in various situationspublic,

their home, my home, small, long weekend gatherings. There was probably not anyone else who knew more about unschooling in that family, and the family dynamics. My testimony apparently did no good at all; the kids were put in school by the judge. These are not happy memories or hopeful stories. IF POSSIBLE, STAY TOGETHER. Make the marriage or partnership as strong as possible, as early as possible. I know it's not always an option, but I know that sometimes it would have been, if people had been more attentive and aware.

When I was going through a tremendous loss a few years ago I had difficulty finding music that I thought captured both the pain of grief while also commemorating the positive memories of losing someone close to you. In All Love, Fletcher sings how she sees her exlover in a bar with his new significant other. While she is hurt and saddened to see him move on, she only feels love for him, rather than hate or anguish. The way you kiss on her neck With that look in your eyes Do it right in front of me Kinda makes me wanna die But it's all love I hate the feeling, but it's all love, Fletcher sings. Previous authors have alluded to this central conflict of caring for someone you have lost while still being dev

astated by such loss Fletcher is able to verbalize this succinctly. In this song, Fletcher validates the stages of grief and makes the listener feel less alone in wanting to remember the positives even during the grieving process. 1 20210425T1529280400 Emily Mitchell ff4ea107307f7ae7326072957b361b722e43ffd1 Acknowledging Loss Music Emily Mitchell 4 plain 20210428T0842110400 Emily Mitchell ff4ea107307f7ae7326072957b361b722e43ffd1 1 20191128T1322250500 "i love you" by Billie Eilish with choreography by Galen Hooks, contributed by Mikayla Morosky 2019 4 plain 20210424T1546270400 1 20191123T2055070500 "Castle of Glass" by Linkin Park, contributed by Eric Sun 2019 6 plain 20210424T1546360400 1 20210424T1526420400 "Papaoutai" by Stromae, contributed by Aly Aga Khan 2021 2 plain 20210424T1527060400 1 20210424T1606250400 "All Love" by Fletcher, contributed by Jordan Johnson 2021 4 plain 20210425T1217180400 1 20210428T0836060400 "Dondante" by My Morning Jacket, contributed by David Gonzlez 2021 2 plain 20210428T08384

Queen and Ireland Author Eoghan Fay As news broke on Sept. 8 of Her Majesty the queens death, the eyes of some of those I know fell on me. Perhaps, being Irish, some of my American peers expected me to celebrate the demise of Britains longestreigning monarch. In reality, Irelands relationship with Queen Elizabeth II was complicated, but no cheers greeted her death among the overwhelming majority of Irish people. On Sky News online public tribute page to the queen, for example, numerous Irish people left messages of gratitude to Her Majesty. As neighbors go, few share as painful and bitter a past as the United Kingdom and Ireland. After all, Ireland only won independence from British rule in 1921, and memories of the bloody Troubles in Northern Ireland endure. Enmity, stretching back to 1169, dominated AngloIrish relations until quite recently. The Crown seemingly epitomized all things British, including the countrys dark legacy in Ireland. Elizabeth II, however, proved crucial to normalizing our countries rel

ations and nurturing the process of reconciliation between the two islands. As John Hume, architect of peace in Northern Ireland, said, The trouble with the English is that they never remember, and the trouble with the Irish is that they never forget. Her Majesty the queen, nevertheless, undertook enormously symbolic work to bridge the divide between those polar positions. With tact, delicacy and sincerity, the queen helped bury the phantoms of our shared traumatic past.

Let the Buyer Beware Heres How to Gauge a Study August 6, 2016 ScienceBlog.com People who watch morning talk shows or read hightraffic websites will often come across these four words at the start of an attentiongrabbing story A new study shows Typically, these stories are quick, punchy, watercooler conversation pieces that distill a researchers findings into one or two captivating talking points. Often, the headlines of these pieces will seem too good to be true. Chocolate makes you smarter, study suggests The Telegraph UK, March 8, 2016 A new study says a glass of red wine is the equivalent to an hour at the gym The Huffington Post, Jan. 8, 2016 Beer may be good for your brain CNN, Sept. 26, 2014 But how truthful are these stories? Are these factual, evidencebased claims? Or are they tangentialatbest observations that may not possess any scientific validity? Audiences often will encounter contradictory information, or struggle to discern which study to believe. How are people without an extensive backgroun

d in research or statistics supposed to figure out which studies are the most accurate? Studies show many studies are false The Boston Globe, July 1, 2014 Kimberly Andrews Espy, the University of Arizonas senior vice president for research, said the most effective way for a lay audience to judge a studys legitimacy is to consider the source of the research. Universities such as the UA are generally better than other institutions that might have an agenda, Espy said. Federally funded studies go through such rigorous peer review. If a study has not been peer reviewed, its safe to assume it isnt reliable. Generally, peer reviewers are experts in their respective fields. This process exists to help filter out the junk. It isnt perfect for examples of peer review gone wrong, take a look through Ivan Oranskys excellent blog, Retraction Watch but the peer review process is essential to the veracity of scientific research. The research pieces that tend to generate the most coverage are the studies that subvert a re

aders expectations. Studies that are contrary to a persons expectations, such as oh, I never would have thought I could eat all the ice cream I want and lose 15 pounds, those tend to make waves, Espy said. These are the studies that require the most scrutiny. And this is where sample size and funding sources come into play. If a study based its conclusions on a statistically insignificant sample size, or is making a claim about all people without extending its pool to include data from individuals from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, assume the study is invalid. Also, if companies with a clear interest in a certain set of outcomes fund the study, approach it with a high degree of skepticism. A cola company, for example, would have a lot to gain from a scientific study that showed the unexpected health benefits of soda. Ultimately, stories that get the general public interested in scientific research are a net positive, because they draw people in, according to Espy, but its important to read between t

he lines to get the full story. As for researchers, this kind of media coverage is vital in terms of generating interest and setting project goals. The central question to nearly every research project should be How does this help people? We encourage our researchers to talk about the downstream impact and why it matters, Espy said. So often we get so focused on the methods, we forget to talk about what the research is and why it matters.

Passing Prop 24 Businesses now have to listen to consumers on how they want their PII used By Richard Kanadjian By a margin of 56.2 to 43.8, residents of the state of California this past election passed Proposition 24 that further strengthens the California Consumer Privacy Act CCPA, a significant dataprivacy law the states Legislature passed in 2018, and that took effect Jan. 1, 2020. Supporters of Prop. 24 posited the CCPA privacy law, even though it had just gone into effect earlier in the year, wasnt strong enough. Updates in Prop. 24, they said, would create, among other things, a system to enforce CCPA and triple fines on companies that violated underaged childrens privacy. Furthermore, leaders of the proposition said consumers would have more control over specific personal data, prevent their precise location from being tracked, and increase the ability to sue companies when their email and passwords are stolen or hacked. They added that when the residents of California passed this proposition, they m

ade it harder for lobbyists to change the privacy laws in the Legislature. Basically, Prop. 24 changed Californias dataprivacy law in these five meaningful ways Businesses now have to listen to consumers on how they want their personally identifiable information PII used Permits consumers to correct inaccurate personal information Businesses can only hold onto consumers PII data for as long as it is necessary Companies can be fined up to 7,500 for violating childrens privacy rights by the government A new state agency is created to enforce, investigate and assess penalties related to privacy laws It also is important to remember that in addition to the CCPA and Prop. 24, many companies in the United States and worldwide are also affected by the European Unions EU very similar General Data Protection Regulation GDPR that took effect in 2018. So, even if you dont own a business in California or have customers based there, but you collect California consumers personal data, or you dont fall under GDPR regulation

s, why do you care about all of this? The answer is twofold 1 consumers read private citizens and government bodies worldwide are taking data privacy very seriously, and 2 it stands to reason that other states and countries around the world will follow suit and impose their own data privacy regulations. Hopefully, all of this is just another reminder to you that data breaches are serious issues for any company that holds consumer PII Personally Identifiable Information as well as any other sensitive information, including your own daytoday information vital to your operations. Secure, protected data saves you potentially millions of dollars in fines or lawsuits as well as public andor industry embarrassment or scorn. Protecting personal private information also shows you are a good citizen, and that can become a competitive advantage and enhance your companys reputation. All of the above leads us to two basic questions what is considered PII, and what is the best way to protect it? The original CCPA defined p

ersonal information as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly with a particular consumer or household. As examples, it listed the following a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, email address, account name, social security number, driver license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers. But thats not all. An additional stipulation of Californias privacy laws lists a variety of other identifiers including name, signature, physical characteristics or description, telephone number, passport number, state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information or health insurance information. It did, however, exempt two areas personal health information and financi

al information. Regarding personal health information, CCPA acquiesces to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act HIPAA. According to the National Law Review, information gathered by financial institutions must follow the California Financial Information Privacy Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act or the GrammLeach Bliley Act depending on the situation. It did not, however, consider publicly available information as personal. In securing PII data, it is necessary to consider both at rest data permanently stored and in transit data downloaded to a mobile device such as a USB drive for use at another location situations. In either case, the easiest, most effective means to secure such data is the use of encryption. Encryption converts inputted information into blocks of basically unreadable or undecipherable data. Encrypted information is referred to as ciphertext, and nonencrypted as plain text. Encryption technology can be either hardware or softwarebased. And, yes, there is a difference between th

e two, with hardware encryption being preferred. Software encryption uses any of a variety of software programs to encrypt the data. As the data is being written or read, the programs, using the systems or devices CPU, encrypt or decrypt it as applicable. While software encryption is cost effective, it is only as secure as the system it is used on. If the code or password is cracked by being sniffed in the systems memory, encrypted data becomes an open book. Also, since the processor does the encryption and decryption, the entire system slows down, often to a crawl, when the encryption process is taking place. A hardwarecentricsoftwarefree encryption approach to data security is the best defense against data loss, as it eliminates the most commonly used attack routes. This softwarefree method can also provide comprehensive compatibility with most OS or embedded equipment. Since the CPU is not involved in the process, the system does not slow down. Hence, it is much faster and more secure than softwarebased en

cryption e.g. Microsoft BitLocker. In addition, encryption can never be turned off in hardwareencrypted USB drives, whereas it can be removed on softwareencrypted USB drives; this is the biggest weakness of using software encryption. Such devices meet stringent industry security standards and offer the ultimate security in data protection to manage situations confidently and reduce risks. They are selfcontained and do not require a software element on the host device. No software vulnerability eliminates the possibility of bruteforce, sniffing and memory hash attacks. The best hardwarebased encrypted devices use AES 256bit encryption in XTS mode the top of the line in encryption. It protects 100 of data stored and enforces complex password protocol with minimum characteristics or complexity such as minimum length, required number of character sets to prevent unauthorized access. For additional peace of mind, some password authentication techniques lockdown after 10incorrect password attempts and render the en

crypted data unreadable basically erased, and feature a readonly access mode to avoid malware attacks on unknown systems. This ensures that anyone who finds such a USB drive or attempts to hack an Encrypted USB drive equipped with such technology cannot access the information. Some USB drives have increased security with digitally signed firmware that cannot be altered and a physical layer of protection. In choosing what type of encryption to use, your first choice should always be hardwarebased, AES256 bit XTS. This article originally appeared in the March 2021 issue of Security Today.

How to Have Faith as a Grain of Mustard Seed 8 Practical Things You Can Do Faith is a topic that many have struggled with for years. We have all heard the phrase have faith as a mustard seed but have you ever wondered what it means? A mustard seed is a tiny, yet powerful thing that can move mountains if planted in the right place. The Bible teaches us that is not about how much faith we have, but if our faith is authentic. The important thing is to have faith, and not just any kind of faith. It has to be the mustard seed type of faith that you have total confidence in it being successful even if all odds are against you. Think of it as a muscle, in order for it to grow, you need to exercise it. You need to lift some weight if you want to grow some muscle. The same applies to faith, you need to exercise it, and lift some weight by remaining in faith despite the circumstances. The Lord has given us a measure of faith Romans123, and its up to us to exercise it. Are you looking to grow the measure of faith youve

been given? Here are some practical things you can do to increase your faith like a grain of mustard seed! 1. Base your confession on the Word of God Your words are so powerful that they can either promote you or destroy you. With your words, Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 1720 NIV The King James translation says, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 1720 2. Spend time in prayer every day Fellowship with the Holy Spirit through prayer, meditation, and worship has the power to give us faith. Prayer is not just about asking for things but its also a way of seeking God who can give you what you need even when your prayers arent answered. Its believing in the midst of cha

os. Its important to have a consistent prayer time because without it we can know about God but not have a personal relationship with God which is what makes us strong in faith. Being steadfast in prayer is key to having faith as a mustard seed. 3. Listen to the Holy Spirit and be quick to do what He tells you When you pray, bring a notebook with you so that you can record everything that the Lord has to say. Trust in the Holy Spirit and have faith that He will lead you to where you need to be. This is a very important step for having a mustard seed type of faith because its one way we can have confidence when all odds are against us. In prayer, you can expect the Holy Spirit to show you things you need to do as the next steps. Be sure to not grieve the Holy Spirit Ephesians30, because it will only hinder our walk with Him, if we disobey what He tells us then that is when we have problems. Obey what He tells you to do. Its important to have faith in the Holy Spirit and have Him lead you to where you need to b

e. 4. Listen to faithfilled teachings Its important to have a consistent time for listening to faithfilled teachings. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God 2 Corinthians 517. The more you listen to faithfilled teachings, the more your faith will grow like a mustard seed, and the easier it will be to have faith in difficult situations. For further study, read The Faith of Abraham Hebrews 111719 which is an example of someone who had this type of faith. Youll find that his faith was not just spoken but also acted out as well. Take some time out of your day to listen to or read what God has been speaking about on an issue that matters most in your life. The Holy Spirit will speak through these teachers He chooses specifically for you. 5. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness Do not be concerned about little things that happen in life, rather present all your concerns to God. Dont worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he h

as done. Then you will experience Gods peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 467 If you have a mustard seed type of faith, it will allow you to have an eternal perspective instead of living in the current situation which is where your worries lie. As we learn from Jesus Himself, seek first the Kingdom of Gods righteousness Matthew 633, then all those things will be added unto you. The Kingdom of God is available and you have access to it anytime. The Kingdom of heaven is close enough to touch Matthew 107. Make it your priority to have a Kingdom of God perspective. 6. Forgive those who have sinned against you Not forgiving someone will hinder our prayers. Forgiveness is a difficult thing to have because it means letting go of anger and resentment. The Bible tells us, when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too Mark 1125. We need

to let the past be gone so we can have faith as a mustard seed today. Its important to have forgiveness in order not to allow our sin and anger to enter us. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you forgive those who have sinned against you, and He will. Youll see that with His help, it will become much easier. 7. Stay connected to the power source Jesus is our power source, when we spend time with Him, we allow the power to flow through us by faith. He said, I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing John 155. It is thanks to Jesus in us that we can be fruitful and have the ability to do whats needed. So, stay connected to Jesus, your power source, and let Him help you reach your full potential. 8. Present every detail of your life God is interested in every detail of our lives and wants to have a relationship with us. He wants to have His ways become our ways, and so we need to be open with Him about every detail of our lives. He

wants us to succeed in every area, and He will help us if we give him the opportunity. The more you open up to Him and allow His Word to become part of you by spending time with Him, the more youll receive revelation for your daily life, and the more your faith will grow, just like a grain of mustard seed. Learn to have faith as a mustard seed by presenting every detail of your life so that you can have peace in the midst of it all. Its all worth it! Faith is a difficult thing to have in todays world. It takes a lot of time, effort, and patience to develop faith as a mustard seed. But it can also be very powerful if you do the right things. When your mustard seed faith becomes strong enough, then it will start moving mountains for you. We hope that these practical things outlined in this blog help you grow your faith like a grain of mustard seed. You can also get our Mustard Seed Jewelry! These beautiful pieces come with a little mustard seed on them so they help remind us about how we need to work hard at de

veloping this important quality in ourselves day by day until we achieve great success.

Home Arts Entertainment Film festival showcases Indigenous culture, history, life Film festival showcases Indigenous culture, history, life by Beverly Bidney October 3, 2022 October 3, 2022 From left, Everett Osceola, Charles Williams and Uzi Baram participate in a question and answer period after screening a film about the Black Seminoles at the Sarasota Native American Film Festival that was held Sept. 910. Photo Beverly Bidney SARASOTA Documentaries by Native American filmmakers were screened at the Sarasota Native American Film Festival Sept. 910. The mission of the festival was to showcase work by Indigenous directors and writers who share their experience of being Native American. About 300 people attended the festival, which was held at New College of Floridas Mildred Sainer Pavilion. The festival was produced by Seminole tribal member Everett Osceola, the Sarasota Film Festival and the Boxser Diversity Initiative. This was the third festival; the previous ones were held online. More than 40 Nativ

e American tribes were represented at the festival, which gave attendees an inside look at the diversity of the Native nations. Its important that Native Americans tell their stories, Osceola said. People need to hear it from the horses mouth. We all have struggles, but even among the rain you will have sunshine. The film festival shows that we are people like anyone else and we have a rich and beautiful culture. Osceola grew up loving films; the Wizard of Oz was a favorite. He cofounded Native Reel Cinema Festival in 2014 to give Indigenous people a platform to show their work and tell their stories. My mother wouldnt let me off the reservation, so I escaped through films, said Osceola, who grew up on the Hollywood Reservation. My dream was to see our language on the screen. During the festival, Seminole artist Wilson Bowers created a painting in the lobby. The painting, an interpretation of the crawdad patchwork design, was later donated to the Boxser Diversity Initiative. More than a dozen films were scree

ned, including a few short films which highlighted various aspects of Seminole history such as Black Seminoles, John Horse, Egmont Key and the importance of tribal sovereignty. Other showings included four films from the Sundance Short Film Tour, two by award winning Din filmmaker Shaandiin Tome and feature length documentaries on the history of the MoDoc Nation and missing and murdered Indigenous women. The main reason we do this is there are very few Native Americans living in this area and very few of us know anything about them, said Sarasota resident Dan Boxser, founder of the Boxser Diversity Initiative. We have learned so much about the Seminoles. After the screenings, Osceola, Bowers and Tome held question and answer periods with the audience. One audience member said she never knew the story about Egmont Key before seeing the film, which told the story of Polly Parker, a Seminole hero whose escape from U.S. soldiers during forced relocation in the 1800s, and her ensuing 300plus mile walk through wood

s and swamps to the Lake Okeechobee area, helped define the unconquered Seminoles. Polly Parker was my greatgreatgreatgreat grandma, Osceola said. We were never given the luxury of telling our own history, which is why its important that we preserve Egmont Key and its history. We are still here surviving, speaking our language and living our culture. History is hidden in plain sight, said New College of Florida professor of anthropology Uzi Baram. The Seminole Wars tried to erase that history. We have to put in the effort to know the history, document it and convey it. The film about sovereignty, produced by Seminole Media Productions, outlined the history of the tribe. The tribe fought the U.S. Army during the Seminole Wars and are still fighting for sovereignty. Osceola said the tribe was the first to use sovereignty when they fought for the right to have high stakes bingo, which led to Indian gaming. We were the first to start Indian gaming, Osceola said. Whenever we do things, our sovereignty is a constan

t target. We fight with pens and computers now. We are trying to protect the land we all live on. Tomes feature film Long Line of Ladies premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Earlier this year it won best documentary short at the South by Southwest Film Festival and became eligible for an Oscar nomination. Tome said a nomination would be a huge step for Indigenous films. We can to use the medium to create respect for Indigenous people, Tome said. I want to make a life worth living instead of just pumping out films. The world is understanding that Native people still exist in the modern day and we have a culture that drives us. Getting Indigenous films seen can be a challenge, which is where film festivals come in. Filmmakers use the film festival circuit to network, spread the word about their films and hopefully find a distributor interested in their films. Its a tedious business, but I love what I do, Osceola said. I do love helping people. We want to show more films at Native Reel are still looking for

films. Wilson Bowers explains his painting, still in progress, to an attendee at the Sarasota Native American Film Festival.

How To Plan For Your Childs Education From Birth To UniversityWithout Sacrificing Your Lifestyle And Retirement Goals by Seng Bingyang In the last couple of months, a handful of my friends and a cousin of mine were fortunate enough to welcome their first child into the world. Being friends, of course I was extremely happy for them because a baby is a little bundle of joy and I wish for them to have plenty of wonderful moments together. Yet, with all the love and happiness that comes with a newborn, can a couple truly be financially ready for the cost of raising a child? The Real Costs Of Raising A Child With the general costs of raising a child steadily increasing over time, and with costs of education and recreation for kids shooting through the roof, how do you ensure that you can continue to fund for your childs many goals and aspirations? Plus, how can you give the best education to your child up to University without sacrificing your own lifestyle or emptying your own CPF which is for your own retirement

? Just look at how the tuition business grew exponentially in the last decade. One such tuition chain was sold for a reported 300 million! Thats EIGHT freaking Zeroes On top of this, parents are stretching their resources to pay for the many activities out there that their children love, such as piano lessons, swimming lessons, martial arts and fine arts. Children these days also carry more branded goods and have more toys to play with than those of the past. No thanks to Disney of course. How Much Do You Really Need? Typically, most parents will think of Childrens Education when it comes to planning and saving for their children. But what does Childrens Education really constitute? Other than the obvious University tuition fees, which as of today, is approximately 8,000year for a general degree in NUS for a Singaporean citizen. There are other necessities and living expenses such as food, clothing, transportation, fun and personal development for your child over the many years until he or she is able to earn

her own pocket money stand on his or her own feet!. Based on todays 8,000year University fees, a young couple would be expected to set aside a minimum of 100,000 just for a 4year degree for their child in 20 years time after inflation. This is because costs of education tend to increase at a faster pace than most goods and services. I know this brings up gloomy images of young parents scrimping and saving every single cent to support their children through university. However, this is not always the case and Im here to share with you how you can do so without sacrificing your familys lifestyle. How To Plan The Finances For Your Child Starting Age 0 to 6 If you are new parents like my proSG50 friends, it is a great idea to take advantage of the full 19 or 21 years before your child starts university by starting a regular savings plan. Investing in such a plan offered by an insurance company would allow you to enjoy the upside of the stock market a much higher annual return than the banks meagre 0.1, without t

he downside risk of losing your entire capital, plus often with both your principal and interest guaranteed. You can work towards the 100,000 goal by setting aside as little as 5 a day, which is the equivalent of a cup of Starbucks coffee. Yes, drink 1 less Starbucks coffee a day, and thats good enough to save for your childs university education! If you have a higher risk appetite, you can also choose to go into a portfolio of stocks and bonds, which could potentially pay more. Just be reminded that you should expect a higher risk with a higher return, and a part of your capital may be eroded if youre unaware. Ensure that you revisit your portfolio regularly and switch out to something with less volatility as your child approaches the age for University entrance. How To Plan The Finances For Your Child Starting Age 7 to 12 You may wonder, Is it too late to start planning now if my child is older? If your child is older now, say in Primary School, and you still havent started saving for his tertiary education

, fret not! There are still many options that would allow you to achieve this goal. The trick here is to look for ways to increase the number of years you have before your child starts university. Lets say your son is in Primary 4 now; this also implies that you are 10 years behind a newborn if you havent started saving for his university education. The good news is that there are a few study loan options you can take advantage of for his university education in 1015 years time. These include the CPF Education scheme and MOE Funded bank loans DBS, OCBCetc Taking on a study loan e.g. at age 21 for a boy buys you valuable time to fund for the University costs for the time being. This means that with the same regular savings plans, you can let your savings and investments grow and compound for a few more years the period he is studying, and thus getting back a larger sum at the end of the day. When your son eventually graduates at age 25, you will then have the necessary amount to pay for his school fees. TIP A

close friend of mine utilised this simple trick, and essentially obtained a 4 years interestfree loan on his University fees when he paid his study loan in one lump sum right after graduation. Even if you have trouble coming up with the full amount, this strategy can still help your child to cut down on the total fees required substantially! How Should I Grow My Money Safely, and with Certainty? The plans I shared with you above will help you to grow and compound your savings, safely. This plan wont make you a millionaire, but it gives you the certainty and the piece of mind that the money will be there for your child when the time arises. On the other hand, you can dabble in other financial instruments which gives a higher return with a shorter time frame, but note that most comes with higher risk, which includes losing all your money meant for your childs education. When it comes to financial planning, there is no onesizefitsall plan that you can buy from the shelf. Find a good financial adviser who can und

erstand your personal goals, spending habits, and risk appetite and talk you through your available options. Have You PlannedOr Do You Want To Wait Some More? In my 6 years as a financial consultant, I have met clients from different age groups with different needs, and Im always grateful to be able to help them plan their financial goals in one way or other. However, one main problem I always encounter, is that many dont plan early enough. Let me be upfront with you. Many people think that they have a lot of time, and they can always start later. But by the time they come to me, its a little too late and I cant really help much I met a mum who wants to plan for her sons tertiary education when her son is already in Junior College Meaning she only has 56 to save the fees of 30,000 to 40,000. Given that short time frame, she has to save a larger sum every month, which in turns having to sacrifice her familys current lifestyle. I also met a father of two who wants to save for her daughters university fees. He s

tarted planning earlier when her daughter is 13 secondary one, but the problem is, due to his age, he will be retiring in 78 years time. He has more time to save, but he must adjust his lifestyle so as to save for his daughter, without affecting his own retirement plans. We all know If you fail to plan, you plan to fail But in financial matters, I will say If you fail to plan early, you plan to fail!

This Week in Apps Period tracking app privacy, Snapchats paid subscription, calls for TikTok ban TechCrunch Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the weekly TechCrunch series that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy. The app industry continues to grow, with a record number of downloads and consumer spending across both the iOS and Google Play stores combined in 2021, according to the latest yearend reports. Global spending across iOS, Google Play and thirdparty Android app stores in China grew 19 in 2021 to reach 170 billion. Downloads of apps also grew by 5, reaching 230 billion in 2021, and mobile ad spend grew 23 year over year to reach 295 billion. Todays consumers now spend more time in apps than ever before even topping the time they spend watching TV, in some cases. The average American watches 3.1 hours of TV per day, for example, but in 2021, they spent 4.1 hours on their mobile device. And theyre not even the worlds heaviest mobile users. In markets li

ke Brazil, Indonesia and South Korea, users surpassed five hours per day in mobile apps in 2021. Apps arent just a way to pass idle hours, either. They can grow to become huge businesses. In 2021, 233 apps and games generated over 100 million in consumer spend, and 13 topped 1 billion in revenue. This was up 20 from 2020, when 193 apps and games topped 100 million in annual consumer spend, and just eight apps topped 1 billion. This Week in Apps offers a way to keep up with this fastmoving industry in one place, with the latest from the world of apps, including news, updates, startup fundings, mergers and acquisitions, and suggestions about new apps to try, too. In the week after the controversial Supreme Court ruling on Roe v Wade, consumers began to lock down access to their nonprotected health data in period tracking apps. There was enough app switching taking place to influence the App Store charts, in fact, as users moved both to and from leading app Flo, benefitting rivals like Clue and Eve, which saw in

stalls increase by 2,200 and 83, respectively. Consumers swap period tracking apps in search of increased privacy following Roe v. Wade ruling There are differing opinions on how much concern there needs to be over this period tracking data. Some argue that period tracking app data would not be the primary evidence used if there were to be prosecutions over now criminalized abortions an argument, however valid, essentially serves to chastise consumers for reacting in fear by switching to more private apps or deleting them altogether. The bigger picture here is that this data was never HIPPA protected in the first place. And if consumers are reacting with seemingly outsized concern, maybe its because the governments ruling terrifies them about what the future for this country holds. Maybe it not so crazy to switch back to pen and paper at a time when a rogue court is throwing out half a century of established legal precedent in order to control bodies and invade citizens privacy. In any event, many period tra

cking app providers have been making promises to secure data or introduce new anonymity features. But in an unfortunate twist, it was a newcomer to the market that became the No. 1 app after the ruling largely based on promises of endtoend encryption and not its existing protections. As it turned out, the app Stardust, as it was known was sharing users phone numbers with a thirdparty. And after it rolled out its expected encryption later in the week, Stardust was found to be sending the local encryption key back to its servers. In laymans terms, that means whatever was encrypted could now be decrypted. Not a good look. Now the House Democrats are considering legislation that could protect abortion rights and secure data in reproductive apps. Period tracker Stardust surges following Roe reversal, but its privacy claims arent airtight Image Credits Snapchat Like many tech companies, Snapchat has been struggling amid the tougher economic conditions and inflation. The company reported a challenging first quart

er where it had additionally cited supply chain disruptions, the war in Ukraine, labor shortages and rising interest rates as contributing factors to its miss on both revenue and earnings in the quarter, and only a small uptick in daily active users. The company is also still dealing with the fallout from Apples 2021 privacy changes, or ATT App Tracking Transparency, that impacted its advertising business and revenue. In the midst of these macroeconomic factors, Snap is trying to navigate new regulations around minor safety, lock down its developer platform, roll out parental controls and remain competitive in a market where much of young peoples time spent in apps is now shifting to TikTok and other lightweight networking apps or what TechCrunch recently dubbed homescreen social apps like LiveIn, BeReal and others. This has resulted in a search for alternative business models beyond advertising, it seems. This week, Snap introduced Snapchat a 3.99month subscription that provides access to premium features

like being able to pin a friend as a BFF, see who rewatched a Story and the ability to change the app icon. The move, which was leaked in advance, follows the launches of similar subscription options aimed at power users, like Telegram Premiums recent launch and Twitter Blue. Its hard to say if these investments will pay off in the long run. For now, Twitter continues to make the majority of its revenue from ads and a small bit from data licensing. Telegrams offering is too new to analyze at this time. Snapchat, meanwhile, is targeting an audience with perhaps even less to spend on subscription services. Will Snaps highschooler customers want to use their babysitting money, allowance or income from another minimum wage job or side hustle to gain a few extra features? Were these features actually in high demand, the way Twitters Edit button was? Whats the strategy for enhancing the offering over time? How will Snap evaluate which features to add is it analyzing user data or behavior? Will it launch a feedbac

k forum? Or will it just come up with ideas on its own? What percentage of revenue will Snapchat need to target to be considered a success? What are the ramifications to Snap if the product fails? Would Snap consider a bundle that combines hardware like its new drone camera and software? For what its worth, Snap clearly didnt want to invite much scrutiny of this major change to its business model. The company only offered one outlet, The Verge, an interview and said very little in it beyond conveying to investors that this wont be a material new source of revenue. Snap also tried to suggest to the outlet that it had been thinking about subscriptions for over five years, as if the new product was not reactive to the state of its business today. Of course, tech companies weigh a variety of ideas all the time! But the timing of when they allocate realworld resources to build them is what actually matters. And Snap built a new way to make money at a time when the old way is suffering. Image Credits TechCrunch Th

e GOP wants to force you to use Reels. OK, thats not quite the story but that could be the result. In actuality, Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote to Apple and Google to insist they pull TikTok from their app stores, calling it a sophisticated surveillance tool thats harvesting extensive amounts of personal and private data. Carrs letter was prompted by the new report from BuzzFeed News which found that ByteDance staff in China had access to U.S. users TikTok data as recently as January 2022. Beijingbased ByteDance owns TikTok and its Chinese sister app, Douyin. Carr demanded the companies respond by July 8 if they didnt comply and why. Specifically, he asked the app stores to explain why they would not penalize an app engaged in the surreptitious access of private and sensitive U.S. user data by persons located in Beijing coupled with TikToks pattern of misleading representations and conduct. TikTok has long insisted it stores U.S. users data in the U.S. its

elf, with backups in Singapore, and said the data was outside the jurisdiction of Chinas national security law which requires companies to turn over data to the Communist party if requested. But if TikTok data was being accessed in China, these prior statements seem to be misleading, at best. The Trump administration had previously tried to ban TikTok by way of an executive order, but was held up in the courts. The Biden administration didnt pursue the matter. But this latest incident now has the GOP interested in a ban once again. Fourteen GOP senators have also issued letters calling for answers from the video app, arguing its a national security threat. Of course, its not that easy to ban TikTok. Last time around, TikTok creators successfully sued to stop the ban, which they said would prevent them from being able to earn a living. Another judge had also blocked Trumps ban, saying the former president had overstepped his authority. TikTok, meanwhile, has responded to BuzzFeeds reporting by announcing its m

Austin Channing Browns first encounter with a racialized America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majoritywhite schools and churches, Austin writes, I had to learn what it means to love blackness, a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating Americas racial divide as a writer, speaker, and expert helping organizations practice genuine inclusion. In a time when nearly every institution schools, churches, universities, businesses claims to value diversity in its mission statement, Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to selfworth

and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice. Her stories bear witness to the complexity of Americas social fabricfrom Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middleclass suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majoritywhite organizations. For readers who have engaged with Americas legacy on race through the writing of TaNehisi Coates and Michael Eric Dyson, Im Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middleclass, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize Gods ongoing work in the world, and discover how blacknessif we let itcan save us all. Austin Channing Brown is a speaker, writer, and media producer providing inspired leadership on racial justice in America. She is the author of Im Still Here Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness and the executive producer of the web series The Next Question.
