I love a foundation that has SPF in it, because it lets me go easy on the sunscreen, especially on days that are cloudy. @BobbiBrown's new Long-Wear Weightless Foundation has SPF 15 in it which is great for added daily sun protection on your skin, plus it is long-wearing so hopefully, you're getting sun protection all day long.
Yes, I guess that's a confession that I don't always wear sunscreen on cloudy days, and just reach for a foundation that has SPF in it.
This foundation not only has SPF in it, but it's also a beautiful gel formula that's mostly matte without being powdery. I think that it just looks like regular skin – satiny but not greasy or shiny. This being a long-wear product, it does set on your skin pretty quickly, but there's still lots of time to really work with it. I've tried using my fingers to apply it, a brush, and my Beauty Blender and they all work. My fingers and the Beauty Blender really are the best because they give the most natural coverage.
The claims are that this lasts through humidity and sweat. I can vouch for humidity but it didn't last through an Orange Theory workout which is okay. It was intense, and I was constantly wiping the sweat off my face, but that's to be expected.
I will say that it mostly lasts through a 12 hour day, which is rare for my oily skin.
And what keeps me coming back to Bobbi Brown foundations are the colours available. There's lots of them in skin-true shades. The pigments in this foundation are in a gel base, so they come through clean and true with no oxidizing throughout the day. I got 4.5 Warm Natural, which is usually the right shade for me, but in this one I found that it was a touch dark, and I could go down to 4 Natural instead.
I love the colour, and I keep reaching for this foundation. It has a thick consistency, but it's still easy to blend and doesn't look mask-like. You can wear a little or a lot, and because the colour matches my skin so closely, I can even just use it for spot treatments.

Spotlight On Service
Dr. Jill Mattingly, Clinical Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Physician Assistant Studies, was honored in July 2016 with the Humanitarian of the Year Award by the Georgia Association of Physician Assistants (GAPA) for her service to medically underserved communities. This is the second year in a row that she has been presented with this award at the annual summer conference in Destin, Florida.
Dr. Mattingly has worked tirelessly to bring medical care to indigent patients. She is a weekly volunteer at the Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett where she spearheaded the Mercer PA Program Thursday evening clinic. This weekly clinic allows PA students and program faculty to provide medical care to the uninsured or underinsured patients of Gwinnett.
Dr. Mattingly also participates each June in the South Georgia Farmworker Project in conjunction with the Emory University PA Program. For two weeks each summer, she leads approximately 30 Mercer PA students in field clinics that provide medical care to migrant farmworkers near Bainbridge and Valdosta, Georgia.
Dr. Mattingly also volunteers every other Saturday with the Clarkston Refugee Clinic. This free clinic provides medical services to refugees from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the African continent. She encourages students to volunteer alongside her and has developed unique clinical opportunities for students to enhance their cultural competency.
Dr. Mattingly has also served in international medical missions in rural Nicaragua and will be joining a medical mission team in Madagascar this October.

KevinLearning new things can be difficult, but I can provide the creative and fresh approach to keep students engaged and motivated to achieve success. I began tutoring when I served in the Marines. I assisted fellow troops with life skills and practical topics, including everything from how hydraulics work to personal-finance. Once my service was over, I was determined to help veterans create great college application essays and procure the benefits of the G.I. Bills. I then went to DePaul University, where I earned my bachelor's degree in public relations and my master's degree as well. I enjoy working with students who want to learn and improve themselves, and I respect that by customizing a lesson plan focused on the student and providing various modes of education. I'm excited to help students learn algebra, nutrition, geometry, physical science, elementary math, middle school math, pre-algebra, public speaking, biology, religions, chemistry, discrete math, writing, English grammar and syntax, history, finite math, geography, and test preparation. When I have free time, I enjoy oil painting, playing the guitar, and singing.

JanelleI've had the opportunity to help students at every age group and every level of ability. My goal is always to share my love of learning with students, and hopefully to help them develop a love of learning as well. I enjoy tutoring because I can take the time to work individually with a student to help them develop their own critical thinking and learning skills. This helps make students self-sufficient, which is a major step towards long-term success. I use collaborative learning techniques, working alongside the student and just stepping in to clarify and fill the gap. I went to Gordon College, for my degree in international affairs. I also played volleyball at the school, and I had the opportunity to study abroad in Costa Rica. In addition, I've studied entrepreneurship, literature, and creative writing, and I'm always looking to better myself with new skills.

AnisaI'm currently studying Political Science and Government at the Henry Ford Community College. I have a great deal of experience working with young people, both in teaching and individual tutoring. It is always my goal to help students develop open minds, abilities to look at their world through a critical lens, and gain the confidence they need in their own ability to contribute positively towards society. At the same time, I have developed numerous strategies for planning, preparing, and delivering educational experiences that keep my students interested in the subject and results in their improvement and success. I gain fulfillment from being a part of each of my students' growth. I have worked in numerous different types of teaching environments, so I am flexible and able to work with students of all types, even those who exhibit challenging behavior and barriers to learning. I have an innate sense of creativity, so the teaching materials I have collected and continue to add to help make learning interesting for students. I enjoy motivating and inspiring my students to move ahead confidently in their education. Outside the classroom, I have interests in foreign languages, music, sports, and art.

More on Merino: Our merino is made using the Schoeller EXP method. EXP stands for "EX-Pollution", which describes its avoidance of pollutants during the anti-felting treatment process.
Merino jersey that is considered "easy care" (can be laundered without fulling) is traditionally processed with the use of chlorine and often coated in a polymer (plastic) finish.
In contrast, the EXP method uses salts to keep the wool ecological.
Read more about the process here.
More on Tencel™: Tencel fibers are produced from wood pulp from sustainably managed sources. The yarn is produced in a closed loop production process with high efficiency and low ecological impact.

It's hard to believe it's been 2 weeks since Abigail was born! Yesterday (Saturday) marks that time frame and it feels both slow and fast at the same time, like Abby's always been here and yet like the last two weeks have been full of extra hours in each day. We are adjusting to a new routine and I think it's going pretty great considering it's such a huge and instant life change! Here's what the first bit of time has looked like…
After Abby was born, we had several hours just the three of us, soaking her in and enjoying her before we FaceTimed our parents to share the fun news (she was born on my mom's 60th birthday!). Mikey's parents came over for a visit the next day and then about every other day as we hunkered down and embraced rest and the new normal. The time with just Mikey, Abby and I was beautiful and we were definitely on an adrenaline high for probably 3 days!
soaking up some sun on our porch with Abby on day 2!
We often listen to movie soundtracks on Spotify at home, and after listening to so many epic songs we decided to watch an epic trilogy – the 3 Lord of the Rings movies! It was so fun watching the movie in little chunks and getting teary at every single emotional moment in the movie with Mikey – the love scenes, the friendship scenes, the good triumphing over evil scenes… It was a really special few hours and so much fun together!
Blurry – both the pic and our eyes from crying and just being so happy!
We had a few midwife home visits, which was such an event – we were thrilled that, one week later, Abby was gaining weight and doing well on all her assessments. It was fun to have them come and check up on all of us and I felt very loved and cared for. Then on Saturday, my parents arrived! I waited SO eagerly on the porch steps and couldn't believe how excited I was for the car to pull up, and watching my parents meet Abigail was just an incredible moment! We spent two days hanging out at home and just enjoying Abby – well, that, and my mom mowed the lawn and cut back all the dead bushes and flowers and made us food!
The weekend included some time with all four grandparents which was so, so special! Mikey's parents don't have other family besides us in the city, and have 3 grandkids far away (Mongolia and British Columbia!), so they are thrilled to have a grandkid in the city! It's hard to have my parents far away, but that's part of life, and the fact that they were able to visit for the beginning of Abby's life was so special!
My dad left early on Tuesday morning and my mom stayed for the week, and while it was sad to say goodbye, I'm so grateful we were able to share a few days together! And then came my now SECOND favorite day of the year, Halloween!
So grateful for our little pumpkin. 🙂
My mom and I went to our first midwife clinic appointment (no more home visits for us!) on Wednesday as Mikey went back to school (real life slowly commences again!) and Abby is doing great in terms of weight and eye assessments and the like. She gained 1 lb, 1.8 ounces and I lost 20 lbs! So cool how your body just starts doing it's thing and heals itself when you let it. As far as breastfeeding is going, it was not easy at first, but it's going better as we learn together how this relationship works, and she's a little hungry woman and a great feeder! My nipples aren't as cut up and I'm healing – which makes the process so much better. 😉
This was my first day out of the house – on day 11! – as I've been taking my postpartum recovery just as seriously as my prenatal workouts and my training on the way to birth throughout pregnancy. I have felt no need to get back into walks or workouts and didn't even really go stir crazy at home! I know the more I lay low right now, the sooner I'll be back at it moving and living from a healed state; "slow is fast," right? I'm healing well, but bleeding for 6-10 weeks is normal, and more movement tends to mean more bleeding. Plus, we had a really crazy snow storm blow in just after my dad left and it literally has not stopped snowing AND is cold (-12 C or 11 F, even though the "feel like" temperature is even colder!), and that's helped me not want to do too much – pretty cold for the new babe and me, too! I am continually reminding myself that the gym and walks and movement will always be there, but I get this time back – both for recovery and for time with Abigail. So I'm trying to soak it in and not worry about the time – plus, it's only been 2 weeks! Gotta remind myself of that, too. 😉
The last event of the week was a baby shower thrown for me through my mother-in-law's friend group, and it was set in a big, beautiful home with a snowy backdrop and full of smiles, generosity and love. We are so thankful for the great gifts and show of support – these women have been praying for and supporting us since Mikey's cancer diagnosis, so it was really special to share that moment with them. Thanks to Caroll for hosting and the women for their kindness, generosity and friendship!
I said goodbye to mom early in between feeds Saturday morning and we embraced – both her and Abby and her and I – until we head down to California for Christmas! The next 6 weeks will go fast, and yet my eyes continue to well up with tears from time to time throughout the day. I'm even more grateful for my parents now that I have a daughter (I STILL can't believe that!), so my emotions are high but mixed with lots of goodness! I look forward to getting to know what routine with just the three of us and just Abby and I while Mikey's at work are like, and like my birth, I plan to approach this time with both curiosity and confidence. Thanks for the support along the way!
Live well & be well!

Our very own Shama Patwardhan, Head of LiveOps, has published a new portfolio to the Portfolio Store. This portfolio is particularly interesting because of its focus on companies that are shaping the future by making the world smarter. Investing in future-defining companies is always a good strategy. However, it is even more important to go the extra mile and bring our attention to the companies that are shaping the world's future. During the COVID-19 market crash, most investors get bogged down by the day-to-day market fluctuations. However, savvy investors don't take their eyes off of the prize, and that's precisely what this new portfolio is set out to achieve. Scroll down to read about the Smart World portfolio.
Invest your money now, to secure your future!
Make your money work for you!
Every now and then, we come across such advice through articles, books, and news. So why not secure our future, by investing in it? Our future will be highly impacted by advancements in research and technology. Rapidly growing fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, and Internet-of-Things would be the backbone of our future. Overwhelmed by the big complex words?! Don't be! It simply means that our future will be dependent on technology that develops fast, high-quality products, makes our devices understand us, and helps us connect with the outside world using the internet. These products have been and will shape our future, giving birth to a Smart World. You have already heard of smart homes, smart cars, and smart cities! So how can we participate in this exciting future? We find strong growing companies that are working towards making the world smarter and invest in them over the long term! As the company succeeds, our portfolio succeeds and rewards us with a strong positive return.
Every investor looks for a chance to buy shares when the stock price is undervalued. And that's what's happening now. With the Coronavirus outbreak, the stock market has been consistently falling. Instead of panicking, we look at it as an opportunity to buy great companies at a discounted price!
Read that with a sound of evil genius laugh echoing the room ... Past few weeks were all about Mexico - U.S. trade war. As an economist, I may argue against tariffs. But, as an investor, I embrace them.
These days the market is very volatile. It can be scary. But, there is a better way to deal with the market frenzy. Wait patiently and fill up your time by learning about the trends that are shaping the future. Maybe watch Eric Cuka (publisher of Get F.I.R.E.D. Up! portfolio) and stay away from the day-to-day craziness of the stock market. And, when the news of trade wars pops up, you'll know that it can only mean one thing; opportunity!
Here is a typical cycle:
- Stocks hit all-time highs
- Politicians get into trade war discussions
- Media and social media go frenzy
- Investors panic
- Stock prices drop to undervalued ranges
- You pick up a few stocks of well-managed companies that are caught in the news
- Stocks go back up
- You hold on to your shares (cause they are well-operated companies), or even sell a bit of it to have cash on the side for another inevitable cycle
It's simple, but not easy! Today's Stock Card V.I.P. pick is a new addition to the Get F.I.R.E.D. Up! portfolio brought to you courtesy of the stock market's fear cycle!
How to retire early?
Retiring early is an elusive goal! Everyone wants it, but a limited number of people are willing to do the work required to get there. But, not Eric Cuka!
Eric, as you might have heard in one of latest episodes of Renegade Investors podcast, is on the mission to retire in his mid-40s, gain the freedom to do what he likes to do and maybe do a little bit of globetrotting with his wife. He plans to do all that using his Get F.I.R.E.D. Up investment approach. And, that's the portfolio we are launching today for Stock Card VIP members.
There is no magic formula behind gaining your financial freedom and not having to work for money. There are three steps:
It's a mix of aggressive growth investing to start with and a gradual transition to dividend growth investing. How does it work exactly? Scroll down to learn more ...
Part One:
You'd need to invest in stocks with aggressive growing power to increase your net worth as fast as possible. Whatever you can save every month, can be boosted significantly by careful but aggressive growth investments. Eric will include some of such companies in his Get F.I.R.E.D. Up portfolio. In the Portfolio Planning sheet that all Stock Card's portfolio publishers fill out, Eric wrote: "Generally, I follow long term cycles for growth, such as cloud technology, autonomous driving, etc.". And, from my conversions with him in the past few days, he has picked up quite a few aggressive growth stocks in his Get F.I.R.E.D. Up portfolio to take the most advantage from the recent stock market downward trend. When everyone panic that the share prices are falling, savvy investors like Eric who have a plan, invest more aggressively.
Part Two:
Gradually, as you grow your money using such aggressive investments, you have to transition them to the safety of dividend-paying stocks. Eric also included some of such dividend-paying stocks in his Get F.I.R.E.D. Up portfolio. Those dividend-paying stocks are not just any random dividend-paying companies. As Eric puts it in his Portfolio Publisher planning sheet: "Generally, I prefer a dividend payout ratio of less than 50%, constant dividend growth of 5 or more years, dividend yield of 3% or less, and, of course, a quality company with a high probability of future success."
Make sure you have clicked on the bell icon on the top-right corner of the portfolio to get notified when Eric adds a new stock. You can always sort the stocks included in each portfolio by the Decision Date column and discover the latest additions.
Without further ado, today's Stock Card VIP picks are 11 companies that mark the launch of Get F.I.R.E.D. Up portfolio! Get "fired up" now!
We have arrived on the last day of the cannabis month. And what a month it was! This is an industry with tremendous potential mixed in with extreme emotions and volatility. I know the portfolio hasn't been moving upward yet, but looking at the stocks that Mark - The Green Fund's portfolio publisher - has picked up, I'm very confident we have got a basket of stocks that are worth paying attention to.
Today, to celebrate the end of our month-long deep-dive into the cannabis stocks, I'd like to share a long-form blog post to explain how we evaluated and picked the stocks that are included in The Green Fund portfolio. If you have a few moments to think through some fascinating ways of evaluating pot stocks, keep on reading.
Later today, May 29th @ 3:00 PM Pacific, Mark and I will host a virtual get-together to discuss this approach among other cannabis-related topics. Join us for that live event by reserving your seat.
How to deal with the overvaluation?
The cannabis stocks are some of the most overvalued companies you might have ever invested in. That's why you can see periods of extreme price fluctuations. For a few months, the stocks are running up. Doubling and tripling of the prices are not unheard of. Such glorious run-ups are most certainly followed by a period of a downward trend. Losing 10%, 20%, or even higher percentage of stock valuations is very likely in such times.
Therefore, the number one thing you need to be comfortable with is that you are investing in mathematically overvalued companies. You'd need to be emotionally ready to tolerate the ups and downs.
You'd also need to be logically comfortable with investing in overvalued stocks. How?
Think about it this way: Investing in overvalued companies is what most private market investors do, day in, day out. Large, institutional investors such as Fidelity or Softbank pour in money into overvalued startups every day (e.g., any recent tech IPOs that comes to your mind) When it comes to cannabis stocks, we are not talking about private market investing, but the nature of cannabis stocks is not too far from the private market and startup investing. Both are similarly overvalued! Period!
The advantage the private market investors have over us, the cannabis investors, is that they don't have the stock market reminding them of the value of the startups they are investing in. We, unfortunately, have to deal with the daily fluctuations of the stock market. The best of us understand that and move away from paying attention to the day-to-day volatility. Mark and I spoke about this in part 1 of our 2-part podcast episode.
Okay, I got that! But, how do I know which pot stocks to invest in?
Once we put the valuations aside, what's left is the operational strength of the companies we are evaluating. You certainly would want to avoid investing in operationally shaky companies that are also overvalued.
And, can you explain what do you mean by operational strength?
Companies with a high amount of debt, unproven management, lack of competitive advantage to protect their turf, or those who do not have cash readily available to fund their operations are the no-no choices in a basket of cannabis stocks. That's why, in the past five weeks, every time we spoke about a new investment pick for The Green Fund, we myopically focused on the operational strength of the companies.
That's why neither Mark nor I am worried about The Green Fund's under-performance so far. We are talking about startup-like investing here, and that comes with the territory. I have to say, I hate to see that the portfolio is not up, but I'm not worried, as explained above!
Knowing all that, where are the investment opportunities in the pot industry?
The next step is to see where in the see of cannabis-related stocks, we would need to focus on. Mark and I talked about it in part 2 of our podcast conversion.
Broadly speaking, there are two types of market opportunities in the cannabis industry: Pure-play cannabis and Adjacent markets.
Pure-play cannabis opportunity refers to the part of the cannabis industry that is purely focused on the cultivation, extraction, and retail and distribution of cannabis products for medicinal and recreational purposes. Some of the big names are Tilray or MedMen. While good investors try to focus on pure-play companies with strong operations, better investors also pay attention to the opportunities in the adjacent market. That's where the long-term gems reside. Companies that are working on developing pharmaceutical intellectual property or companies that are using cannabis as a new ingredient to bring a new category of products into the market are the most exciting investment opportunities in the cannabis sector.
Can you give me some examples?
Let's review and map two stocks that I personally have on my radar:
I hope this visualization and explanation help you create a reliable approach to evaluating cannabis stocks or other stocks that are in the mathematical overvalued price range.
As mentioned earlier, later today, May 29th @ 3:00 PM Pacific, Mark and I will host a virtual get-together to discuss this approach among other cannabis-related topics. Join us for that live event by reserving your seat.
To see the above framework in action, consider subscribing to Stock Card VIP, and access The Green Fund.
My new favorite investing approach is beaten-down investing! You might have noticed that if you are following our Beaten Down portfolio. Every day, I look at the stock market universe and rank the companies based on how much they've lost. If it is double-digit price-fall, the day gets exciting...
Is the stock price down double-digit in the past month?
Is the company well-managed?
Why the price fell so much?
Can I see a reasonable path for the company to recover?
If the answer is yes, I'm very likely to jump in.
Lately, the pot stocks are showing up a lot in my daily beaten-down screening. Mark - The Green Fund's portfolio publisher - is in complete agreement with me. Beaten down investing is one of the best ways to pick up the stocks you have been watching for a while. He also wrote about why it's the best time to invest in pot stocks, despite the recent price falls. You can read Mark's post in this fascinating and informative blog post: "Duck Donald and Buy The Dip". We are also planning another live webinar to answer your pot stock investing questions on the last day of The Green Fund month. Reserve your seat and submit your questions for this free live webinar.
Without further ado, let's get to the main business. Today's Stock Card VIP pick is yet again a new addition to The Green Fund portfolio to tap your feet into the federally legalized side of the cannabis industry in the U.S.
The past few days haven't been fun for stock market investors! I bet many of your recent investments have entered the red zone. I don't think what we have experienced in the past few days is a market crisis. After all, the overall stock market was down just a few percentages (Nasdaq is down 2.9% and the S&P 500 is down 1.7% in the last five days). That's not a crisis by any definition, but the vibe in the media is crisis-like. Be it for getting you to click on those articles or hooking you to watch their YouTube channels, the media likes to spread fear. You've heard sex sells? Well, fear sells better! But, we, the Stock Card community, know better!
I have to admit, seeing that red, downward arrow in front of my favorite tickers and companies is painful! Losing money is never not painful! But, we, the Stock Card community, know better!
Why do we know better? Because of what we have accomplished together through our Beaten Down portfolio. Remember December 2018 and early January 2019? Do you remember how the vibe was of nothing short of 'the end is near'? Well, we tamed the emotions, looked into our existing portfolios and watchlists and in the course of just a few weeks, we created a portfolio of 8 to 10 companies that were beaten down for no reason other than the doom and gloom stories of the day. If you've invested alongside us, even with the price falls of the past few days, that portfolio is up 15%, upping the market by 2 times.
Nothing explains what we have achieved better than this quote from Shelby M.C. Davis:
History provides a crucial insight regarding market crises: they are inevitable, painful and ultimately surmountable.
Now, my fellow investors, I'm interrupting The Green Fund's weekly VIP pick for the month of May, to remind you of the fact that all bad days of the stock market are inevitable, painful and surmountable. That means once again we are refreshing the Beaten Down portfolio with three fresh VIP picks to take advantage of the market fears now!
Last week we launched The Green Fund. And, the market has decided to test our intelligent ways of investing! Most of our picks in the portfolio are a bit down due to a variety of reasons, none indicating any changes in the future market potential. Mark - The Green Fund's portfolio publisher - and I have been discussing this topic for a while now. The fluctuation of the stock prices in the cannabis sector is given and investors who are picking up shares alongside The Green Fund should be ready for even larger ups and downs. But, when the stock prices are down, we can't help ourselves but get excited. It's great when the prices are down because we get to nibble a bit more at a lower price. Who doesn't like to pay less for something he or she wants to have and hold it for a long time?
Today's Stock Card VIP pick is an embodiment of what cannabis investing is all about: massive growth opportunity and large stock price swings!
Ask your cannabis investing questions to Mark - The Green Fund portfolio publisher
Join me for a free, live Q&A session with Mark Bernberg - publisher of The Green Fund portfolio on Stock Card's portfolio store, founder of a cannabis-focused company by the same name, and a successful technology entrepreneur and investor. This is a chance for you to get answers to all your cannabis-investing questions and decide whether investing in pot stocks is for you.
Submit your questions, and reserve your seat:
Wayne Gretzky famously said that one should not skate to where the puck is, but rather to where the puck is going to be. The cannabis industry is where the puck is going to be.
Today we are launching Stock Card's The Green Fund. It's a portfolio managed by Mark Bernberg, a successful technology entrepreneur and the founder of TheGreenFund.com and an avid stock market investor who shares the vision of investing in well-managed companies in growing industries. You can get to know Mark and learn his insightful thoughts and ideas related to the states of valuations, regulations and fluctuations in our latest episode of Renegade Investors podcast.
Why cannabis sector? Isn't it just a commodity, agricultural product, a hyped-up group of companies that make no money?
Au contraire mon amis ...
These days, anyone who touches the cannabis industry is applauded by the investors. Take Shopify (Ticker: SHOP). This Canadian company has been at the forefront of cannabis eCommerce and the investors have praised the company with gold. The stock price has been up significantly in the past few months as the result of the green rush. But, when it comes to The Green Fund, we are going beyond the rush!
We have been working with Mark - The Green Fund's portfolio publisher - to pick up six companies for this portfolio, to start with. We've researched several cannabis companies, and despite the outstanding growth each of these companies has had in the past few months and quarters, they are still poised to grow further from where they are standing today. Over the next four weeks, we will add one new stock to the portfolio, and once the month is over, we will add new companies to the portfolio as and when Mark discovers them. Usually, we introduce just a few stocks per theme. But, because the cannabis stocks are volatile, investing in only one stock may not be such a good idea unless you are sure that emotionally you can tolerate the volatility. Mark decided to give you a few well-managed companies so that you can spread your investment in the sector.
The good news is that with the launch of The Green Fund, we are also introducing a new "Portfolio Follow" feature. Just like how you used to follow individual Stock Card,s you can now follow any portfolio, and you will get notified by email when new companies are added or removed from each of the Stock Card's portfolios on the Portfolio Store. The video below shows you how:
Investing in India continues ...
We have arrived in the last week of the Emerging India investment theme. Since the launch of this theme, we've talked about three ways to participate in the rapidly growing Indian economy and the stock market:
But first, let us share a few updates:
Moving onto today's VIP pick, it is a world leader from India that helps several clients from all around the world to discover, analyze, improve, and automate business processes.
Today's VIP pick is the third addition to our Emerging India portfolio which is our investment theme for April. This time, we have explored the new and growing market of online travel industry in India. Currently, only 10 to 15% of the travel spend is going through online channels. As the Indian's middle class is growing, the digital payment becomes a possibility, and more people access the smart devices to connect to the internet, the online travel industry in the country is ready to take off.
Today's Stock Card VIP pick gives you a chance to invest in Booking.com or Ctrip.com of India before they become the talk of the town.
But before we begin with today's VIP pick, we wanted to give you an early sneak peek into what's coming in May to the Portfolio Store.
Wayne Gretzky - legendary hockey player - famously said that one should not skate to where the puck is, but rather to where the puck is going to be. And, the upcoming theme to the Portfolio Store is an embodiment of Wayne's wisdom. Get ready for The Green Fund! A new portfolio focused on the cannabis industry. In May, we will welcome you to the green rush!
As always, this new investment theme is powered by Stock Card's mistake-free investment research, with a new surprise. The Cannabis portfolio is put together for you by the founder of TheGreenFund.com, Mark Bernberg, a long-time friend of Stock Card and the latest addition to the Portfolio Publishers at Stock Card. You will hear a lot more about Mark, The Green Fund, and Stock Card's latest investment theme in May. Stay tuned!
For now, there are more goodies in the bag for you! Back to the Emerging India portfolio. As we said, today's Stock Card VIP pick gives you a chance to invest in Booking.com or Ctrip.com of India, before they become the talk of the town. You can easily find and read the usual information and analysis you need to know on the companies' Stock Card and the Team's decision editorial section of the company's Stock Card.
Is India the new China?
Last week we started Emerging India's portfolio as our investment theme for April. When you heard about it last week, you might have paused for a second and asked, why India? In the world of all the new and hot IPOs, why is the Stock Card team talking about India? Well, we are glad you asked!
Last week we started Emerging India's portfolio as our investment theme for April. When you heard about it last week, you might have paused for a second and asked, why India? In the world of all the new and hot IPOs, why is the Stock Card team talking about India? Well, we are glad you asked!
India is the fastest growing economy in the world. More than 7% growth rate per year is expected for India in the next three to five years. This growth rate is even faster than our beloved China which is expected to grow between 5% to 6% in the next few years.
Additionally, the average age of the Indian population is 27, which makes the country one of the youngest countries in the world. This young population means two things for India: 1) a growing number of consumers, and 2) a growing size of the workforce.
If you were excited about the growth of the middle class in China - which you should be, as they are the fuel for economic growth in any country - you'd be even more excited about the growing middle class in India. According to the consulting company, Deloitte, only 1% of India's population has a similar income level as the middle class in cities like Hong Kong and Singapore.
As we said, the young population of India also means a growing workforce. As per the former head of India's Central Bank, Professor Raghuram Rajan, India has one million people entering the workforce every month, which means, the country has access to a large, low-cost workforce that can fuel the economy even further.
Those are some of the reasons we are excited to focus on Emerging India portfolio this month. Of course, we cannot forget the role of government in the growth of the country. India's government, the upcoming election, and political battles in the country are risks that we cannot forget and must consider as we explore the opportunities in Emerging India.
Today's Stock Card VIP pick introduces you to two investment opportunities that are fueling and benefiting from the Emerging India.

It definitely sounds like you are struggling with depression which is most likely causing the thoughts of death. People with depression many times do experience a preoccupation with death, not just suicide. You also state that you are an artist. I have met some artistic creative types who tend to look at the darker side of things and experience more angst than the average person (I don't mean to say all artists do this).
However, the interesting thing is that these people have been able to turn their pain into creativity. Just think of how many wonderful songs have been written from heartbreak. You asked how to overlook these feelings. My answer is that you shouldn't overlook these feelings. You need to deal with them. You didn't say whether you have ever tried therapy or medication. If you haven't, I highly suggest you get professional help. If you don't have insurance find a local community mental health center, university counseling center or a therapist who offers a sliding scale fee.
There are also some actions you might take to improve your outlook. According to Psych Alive's website, "Studies show that exercise can be as effective as antidepressants when it comes to treating depression and anxiety. Try to get your heart rate up for 20 minutes a day, five days a week; it has been scientifically proven to help you will feel better emotionally. Even just taking a walk around your neighborhood can help your body start to release endorphins, which reduces depression." They also emphasize getting a full night's sleep. "Lack of sleep can contribute to depression and lead to an increase in suicidal thoughts. Try to regulate your sleep, aiming for eight hours a night. If you find yourself without any energy and sleeping most of the day, it is important to get up and try to do something active. Even if it feels, like the last thing in the world you want to do."
It is important for you, though, to get help soon so you can begin looking at the brighter side again and enjoy the friends, family and pets that you have. You have a loving circle. Rely on them for support while you get the help you need. You are not doomed, you just feel like you are. There is hope out there.
I wish you the best.

Alternative & Holistic Health Service
Blue Dog Yoga and Healing was developed by Caron Shepley, yoga guru, energy coach and animal lover. She is dedicated to help people optimize their body, mind and spirit with educational workshops, yoga classes, crystal chakra balancing sessions and more. As a passionate animal lover, Caron also wants to help animals, big and small, optimize themselves allowing for synergy among all sentient beings. The "blue dog" in Blue Dog Yoga and Healing was Caron's beloved childhood dog (who accidentally but happily got "shampooed" with blue finger paint) and was the most nurturing and patient dog any child could hope for. The services that Caron provides are dedicated to this joyful, loving and temporarily blue dog...
Today, stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is everywhere, on every stretch of water deep enough to dig a paddle into. And folks continue to enjoy time on the water with their pets. We have seen dogs, cats, pigs, turtles, seals and manatees all getting in on the action. But it's our canine companions that enjoy it the most and just the excitement they display when they know where they are going is motivation enough to get out on the water. Here at Blue Dog Yoga, our furry friends always take centre stage, not just in our name! So we couldn't let the summer go by without adding a SUP & PUP club! For a great article on SUP with your PUP, check out the following article: https://tahoesup.com/sup-with-your-pup/paddle-board. For our Caledon Village SUP & PUP club, here's what you need to know if you want to give it a try:
Your dog must wear a life jacket. This is a must even if your dog is a good swimmer. Limited numbers of doggie life jackets are available for a small fee.
If you don't have a paddle board, that's OK, board rentals are also available.
Neither you or your dog have been on a paddle board before? That's OK! On Tuesday, July 7, Dog Trainers from Bold Canine will be available to assist your dog in learning to become comfortable on a paddle board. And of course I am a certified paddle board instructor, so I can give both of you lots of tips to make the paddling experience a PAW-sitive experience for you and your dog!
SUP is an acronym for "Stand Up Paddleboard". SUPing is currently one of the fastest growing water sports. If you have mastered your regular yoga class, try leaving the gym or studio and joining a SUP yoga class. While originating on the beaches of Hawaii in the 1960s, today you can find SUP yoga classes inland as well. A great way to get and stay fit, SUP Yoga classes work the legs, core, arms, and back as you try to stay on board and propel yourself. The 10 to 12-foot-long paddle boards have been dubbed "the floating yoga mat" and SUP yoga devotees describe the experience as relaxing, meditative, joyful, and free.
For a serious workout which fires up and strengthens the core muscles, improves alignment, balance and weight distribution, and increases focus, popular SUP yoga poses include:
- Downward Facing Dog
- Cat Pose
- Child's Pose
- Warrior Pose I
- Plank Pose
- Corpse Pose or Sivasana
To expand your yoga practice, deepen your connection with nature, develop your mindfulness skills, improve your technique, and enjoy a new, exciting full-body workout, head to a nearby body of water and join a Stand Up Paddle Yoga class. Classes are held at the James Dick Quarry located at 17847 Hurontario St., just south of Caledon Village. You can BYOB (bring your own board) or rent one from Caron. Classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6pm to 7pm, and Fridays from 4-5pm ending on Friday, September 4, 2020.
Monday classes with Dawn and Wednesday classes with Caron start at 5:30pm starting Wednesday, September 9th and go until September 30th.
Because of social distancing guidelines this year, we can not help you hook your board to the buoy lines in preparation for the yoga portion of the paddle board class. A short video explaining the hook-up procedure can be found here:
Our furry friends need some attention too! Caron can help your fur-baby optimize his or her body, mind and spirit with an Animal Communication and Chakra Balancing Session. Sessions are done from a distance (similar to Reiki distance treatments) and you will need to provide your animal's name, age and any questions that you would like answered. Caron will also ask your animal to talk about anything that he or she chooses including and dislikes. Following the animal communication, Caron will measure the animals chakras to determine any issues that need to be addressed. Finally Caron will provide you with a summary of the communication and chakra balancing including some suggestions to help improve the animal's body, mind and spirit.
For animals in spirit Caron will tune into your animal in spirit using a photo the owner's name and when the animal passed. She will ask the animal to describe its' personality and special memories. Then she will ask for any messages that the animal has for its' owner.
In-person sessions are available for enhanced fee. Book Animal Communications Here.
Holding crystals or placing them on your body can promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Crystals do this by positively interacting with your body's energy field, or chakra. Each chakra holds a unique vibration as do individual crystals. If chakra is out of balance or is blocked it will not vibrate optimally. Placing a particular crystal on or near the body can bring the blocked or imbalance chakra back to their proper vibrational status. The following is a summary of the seven chakras and the crystals that can be used to balance them:
Root Chakra: If your root chakra is weak, you may feel like you are unhappy with your body size or shape. You may feel as if you are out of control of your life and you can't gain control. If your root chakra is overactive, you might find that you often explode angrily at the smallest things. For root chakra healing , we recommend using red and black crystals, such as Red Garnet, Red Jasper, Smoky Quartz, Black Onyx and Hematite, to rebalance your root chakra. Once your root chakra is balanced, you will feel more grounded, solid and confident in yourself.
Sacral Chakra: A low energy flow through your sacral chakra will cause a lack of energy and motivation. You may feel extremely lethargic and even depressed, lacking any joyful moments in your life. If your sacral chakra is overactive, you may be feeling a constant frustration, leading to you breaking down in tears too often. To align this chakra center, practice sacral chakra healing. We recommend Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Tiger's Eye and Sunstone. Once your sacral chakra is back in balance, you will begin to feel excitement, inspiration and motivation again.
Solar Plexus Chakra: Inactivity of the solar plexus chakra will cause you to feel powerless, especially when you are under pressure. You may often feel butterflies in your stomach, or feel as if you can't gain control over your life. If your solar plexus chakra is overactive, you will feel the uncontrollable need to control everything about your life; a "control freak." For solar plexus chakra, try using yellow gemstones, such as Citrine, Yellow Jasper, Rutilated Quartz and Pyrite. Once your solar plexus chakra is balanced, you will begin to feel motivated, focused and confident in your decisions.
Heart Chakra: If you find yourself having problems in your relationships or feeling unattached to the people you love, it may indicate that your heart chakra is weak. If your heart chakra is overactive, you may find yourself becoming too attached to things, resulting in you being overly emotional all the time. To practice heart chakra healing, try meditating with green and pink heart chakra stones, such as Chrysoprase, Aventurine, Rose Quartz or Rhodonite, over your heart to open it up to all types of love. Once your heart chakra becomes realigned, you radiate love of all kinds. Your relationships will begin to strengthen again and you will feel hopeful.
Throat Chakra: A weak throat chakra will make you unable to speak your truth and express yourself. When your throat chakra is overactive, you often speak before you think, resulting in unnecessary arguments and hurtful words. When your throat chakra becomes unbalanced, you will find that you cannot articulate your thoughts clearly, leading to miscommunications and frustration. For throat chakra healing, try meditating with throat chakra stones, like Angelite, Sodalite, Blue Apatite and Aquamarine, on your throat.
Third Eye Chakra: Located just below the crown chakra in between the eyebrows, the third eye or brow energy center is linked with enhanced intuition and creative inspiration. If you feel a lack of clarity in your life or have trouble seeing the truth in yourself or situations, it's a sign that you need a third eye chakra cleanse. In crystal therapy, indigo colored gemstones such as Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, and Fluorite reawaken inner wisdom, which opens the door to self-knowledge. After all, to know yourself is the beginning of wisdom.
If you feel you cannot visualize and organize your life very well, then your third eye chakra may be under active. If your third chakra is overactive, you may experience nightmares each night. You may begin to feel stuck and in an emotional rut, becoming closed off to new ideas. You may also feel as if your intuition is off, and you cannot trust your "gut feelings." For third eye chakra healing, lay on your back and place your favourite third eye chakra crystals, like Angelite, Amethyst, Fluorite and Iolite, over your third eye and just relax.
Crown Chakra: An inability to think clearly when you are under stress means that your crown chakra is unbalanced. You may feel like you are going about life without having a specific purpose or path, leaving you feeling lost. For crown chakra healing, try using crown chakra crystals, such as Clear Quartz, Amethyst, Selenite and Moonstone, to balance and align this chakra center.
Situated at the top of the head, the Crown chakra is the pathway to all other chakras, which is why energy healers typically start with a crown chakra cleanse before any therapeutic session. When the crown chakra is balanced and harmonious, it opens the doorway to spiritual enlightenment. Associated with the color violet, Amethyst crystals are excellent crown chakra activators. In healing layouts, these stones are placed on the forehead to encourage a feeling of transcendence from negative, self-defeating thoughts.
Crystal Yoga is the practice of dynamic yoga postures and meditation with the aid of healing crystals and stones. Holding crystals or placing them on your mat promotes physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Crystals do this by positively interacting with your body's energy field, or chakra. While some crystals improve wellness and alleviate stress, others improve concentration, creativity and intuition.
A powerful aspect of a daily yoga practice is that it helps you to regain balance. Holding a crystal in your hand, or laying several on you body, and breathing deeply for a few minutes has a similar effect. It balances your body, grounds you in the present moment, and brings you back to center. You may also practice yoga to help reduce anxiety and stress. Healing crystals have a calming vibration that can help relieve anxiety and stress, as well. If you practice yoga for the physical strength and flexibility that it provides, crystals can help to enhance your commitment to your well-being by keeping you motivated and dedicated to your practice.
No matter the reason you come to your mat, merging yoga and crystals creates a powerful energy combination that deepens your yoga practice and heightens the transformational powers of your crystals. This combination takes you to a deeper level of healing, creating a closer connection with your yoga practice, your crystals and, most importantly, your self. Once you incorporate crystals into your yoga practice, you'll wonder why you haven't been using them all along.

Black Lives Matter
Located just seven miles (11.2 kilometers) south of downtown, the Kanawha State Forest is 9,300 acres (37.6 km2) of natural beauty. The park was originally developed in the 1930s as a part of the Depression-era work program known as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Today, the park has 25 miles (40 km) of trails. Of the numerous trails, 14 allow hiking only, while 10 allow hiking and biking. Many of the trails follow little mountain streams and babbling brooks for scenic walks tucked into the forest. You can also camp at one of the 46 campsites and picnic at the nine picnic shelters or picnic areas around the park.

A park filled with wine—that would be a beautiful thing. Wine Cellar Park no longer has wine, but it gets its name from antebellum wine cellars that once served a thriving wine industry. Located five minutes from Charleston in Dunbar, you can view the wine cellar ruins or hike and walk along paths in the woods or along Lake Anderson. The lush green of the grass and trees around the cellar walls in the summer provide a perfect spot for photos.
Wine Cellar Park, Dunbar, WV, USA, +1 304 766 0223
Ten minutes north of downtown Charleston is Coonskin Park, a park that has something for everyone but still feels like a true piece of nature. A gravel-surface path along the Elk River is perfect for biking or jogging, or you can explore the 1,000-acre (four km2) oasis of woodland on about five miles (eight km) of hiking trails. The park also offers more traditional city-park amenities, such as an Olympic-size swimming pool, an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, picnic pavilions, a soccer field, and a skate park.

The Elk River flows south from Coonskin Park into the Kanawha River, and a little island used to be right where the two rivers meet. Magic Island was connected to the mainland and redeveloped into a park starting in the late 1980s. The playground, grassy areas, beach volleyball courts, and splash pad make the park a great place to hang out and enjoy the views of the river, but the real beauty of the park comes when the sun starts to go down. Somehow, the sun seems to take a slower time setting in West Virginia, and when the colors that flash across the sky reflect onto the Kanawha River, the real magic happens.
It's hard to imagine that the grounds around the capitol building would be a beautiful park, but the State Capitol Complex fits that mark. Located along the Kanawha River, the complex houses the gold-domed capitol building, the Georgian Revival, brick governor's mansion, the West Virginia Veterans Memorial, and plenty of large trees, fountains, and ornate flower beds. If you're visiting the State Museum or Capitol Complex, be sure to enjoy the gardens and green space that envelop the politics, or check out the area during special events like the Easter Carnival or Vandalia Gathering.

The Patriot Players at Patrick Henry Community College will dedicate their 2016-2017 season to an influential faculty member who made it his life's work to share a love for the performing arts with his students and community.
Dan Spaugh taught theatre and speech courses at PHCC for nearly 30 years before passing away in December 2015. Devin Pendleton, artistic director and director of programs for Patriot Players, said dedicating season four to Spaugh is a fitting way to honor his memory.
"A group of Dan's students, colleagues and friends gathered after his memorial service at PHCC and spent hours just reminiscing about him," Pendleton said. "They were laughing, there were tears shed, but most of all, there were memories shared that made us all realize just how passionate Dan was about theatre. That's what made me realize we needed to do something substantial to honor his memory."
Spaugh was a pioneering force for collegiate performing arts to have a home at Patrick Henry Community College, according to Pendleton.
"Dedicating our season to him is just one way we're recognizing the hard work he undertook in building a successful collegiate theatre program over the years," Pendleton said. "Season four will include a lot of diverse, timeless classics. Some of the shows we've selected are known favorites of Dan's he may have wanted to do or thought about doing."
The upcoming season will deliver quality performances, but will also renew its focus on providing educational opportunities for students and community members.
"Our community is full of students or potential students, and with our roster of exciting shows in the upcoming season, we're looking forward to educating more," Pendleton said. "I think we've grown by experience and the support of our community. This support allows us to grow continually, and we're looking now, more than ever, to the renewed connections, partnerships and relationships that we've developed over these past few years."
PHCC President Angeline Godwin added, "Season four promises to be the best yet, so you will not want to miss out. We hope everyone will mark the calendar, join us for the show reveal in April, and be a part of the Patriot Players – either on stage, behind the scenes or in the audience. Collegiate performing arts are alive and well at PHCC."
Season four show dates for "Growing Up Gospel 2: The Revival Revue" are Sept. 22 to Oct. 2, and Nov. 25 through Dec. 4 for "Mary Poppins: The Musical." The following dates are for shows to be announced in April: Feb. 23 through March 5, 2017; April 27 through May 1, 2017; and August 10-19, 2017.
Dr. Greg Hodges, vice president of institutional advancement at PHCC, said, "With a plethora of spectacular shows, theatre lovers from all walks of life will find something around which they can wrap their arms and hearts!"
The entire community is invited to the season four announcement on April 14 at 7 p.m. in Walker Fine Arts Theatre at PHCC. The program will include a third anniversary celebration for the Patriot Players and a special recognition for Spaugh.

Pressure is mounting on the Government to boost the energy efficiency of KiwiBuild homes.
Documents obtained by Newshub reveal Housing Minister Phil Twyford didn't receive any advice in relation to LED light bulbs and the Government's ambitious plan to build 100,000 affordable houses.
- Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern drops KiwiBuild interim targets
- 'It will be tough for us': Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gives coy KiwiBuild update
- Government won't scale back overall KiwiBuild target despite setbacks - Grant Robertson
This follows Newshub revealing solar panels were also not considered.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority says: "LEDs are the most efficient and longest-lasting lighting option".
After Newshub's questions to the minister, Mr Twyford revealed there's been a change of plan and he's now looking into the bulbs for KiwiBuild homes.
"I think there's a very good case for it, but there's a lot of work underway on energy efficiency more broadly and thermal efficiency of new homes so it will get considered. The build environment is one of the ways we can reduce carbon emission so we're onto it."
But with 74 KiwiBuilds already built, and no advice asked for or received by the minister, the energy efficient homes aren't yet in the pipeline.
Greenpeace executive director Russel Norman told Newshub it's hard to understand why the Government isn't building energy efficient homes.
"On the face of it, it looks like the left doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Here you have the Government engaged in a significant house programme which isn't doing everything it could to take measures to address climate change.
"Those kind of things are things like energy efficient lighting, solar panels and batteries."
Mr Norman says it's a mistake not including the bulbs.
- 'Off the grid' Great Barrier Island leading the way on climate change
- Chernobyl back up and running - but this time it's solar-powered
"This is a great opportunity to not only address the housing crisis but also address the climate crisis at the same time. Currently the Government seems to be missing the opportunity."
But Mr Twyford says other measures to make KiwiBuilds more efficient, sustainable and accessible are being considered.
"We've got work underway on what we want to achieve from KiwiBuild other than getting people into affordable home ownership.
"Access for people with disabilities is a common issue, thermal efficiency is an issue, lowering the running costs of a house is an issue.
"There's work underway on all of those things and I fully expect the use of LED light bulbs along with insulation and all the other things will be considered."
Mr Twyford also said Energy Minister Megan Woods gets advice on the lightbulbs from EECA.
According to Energywise:
- Most LEDs cost less than $10 per bulb, some as little as $3
- They use up to 85 percent less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs for the same light output
- A bulb should last about 15,000 hours, around 15 times longer than a standard incandescent light bulb (based on manufacturer's claims)
- They provide instant full brightness when turned on
National Party housing spokesperson Judith Collins says it's ridiculous they aren't mandatory.
"When it comes down to KiwiBuild, Phil Twyford is after the cheapest possible quality of house rather than actually saying what's in the best interest of the people buying them."
Ms Collins says the bulbs are a cheap option that shouldn't be ignored.
"For a Government that's made a lot of song and dance about energy efficiency, I would've thought the smartest thing to do would've been all Kiwibuild houses built with LED lights."
Green Party energy and resources spokesperson Gareth Hughes agrees.
"They're really straightforward, a lot more affordable than solar panels. Over the last few years the price of LED bulbs have dropped from $25 to $10 a bulb."
Mr Hughes says the Green Party has been pushing for energy efficiency in KiwiBuilds and will continue to.
"If every household in New Zealand changed the top 10 lightbulbs in their house, we would be saving more that $500 million a year on our power bills."
A KiwiBuild spokesperson told Newshub a number of homes do in fact have LED bulbs.
"They are rapidly becoming the industry standard among our developers."

Believe it or not, there's a way for each and every person to be a part of our student ministry, without showing up every week to teach or even hang out with students (we know that's not for everyone). Maybe you are good at organizing events, cooking and baking, or hosting? Consider bringing us snacks on a Friday evening, opening up your home for a special event, or helping organize something like our annual youth retreat in May or an outreach opportunity within Alberta. All of these things are necessary to cultivate an environment of genuine love, biblical truth, and lasting relationships.

Reconstructing Yugioh – From the ground up
A few days ago, I posted a discussion on reddit, asking people to list ways in which yugioh could be improved. I didn't name any personal issues I had with the game; I didn't even suggest any specific problems or complaints that I felt people should talk about. Instead, it was left as a complete open discussion. Within one day, this post blew up, receiving over 2.6k views and 95 comments.
Clearly, a lot of people have some constructive criticisms concerning their favorite game.
But what is the purpose of this experiment?
Just to complain, and to create even more hate withing the community?
Not at all. The complete opposite, in fact.
The goal of this Poll was to find out, specifically, everything about yugioh that could be improved. I spent a couple hours reading every single comment, and compiling them into a list: I found that the majority of complaints can be described by one of seven statements. Remember, none of these are my direct opinions: All statistics covered in this article is entirely from the sample of Reddit users.
Main Issues with Yugioh
- Lack of communication from Konami
- Konami doesn't have a Q&A section.
- Konami doesn't release information on why cards are on the banlist.
- Konami doesn't provide information concerning ruling debates.
- Konami doesn't release dates for upcoming banlist.
- Meta Decks are too expensive; Too many good cards are Secret Rare
- Competitive decks cost upwards of $800.
- An average board game costs around $30.
- There is little to no valuable prize support.
- When cards are hit on the banlist, they often become worthless.
- Game relies too much on Floodgates/Boss Monsters/Unbreakable Boards
- Floodgates cards are not fun to play with or against, EG
(Anti-Spell Fragrance),
(Macro Cosmos).
- There are too many "unkillable" monsters in the game, which are too easy to summon, EG
(Raidraptor – Ultimate Falcon),
(Master Peace, The True Dracoslaying King),
(Apoqliphort Towers).
- People should not be expected to maindeck specific outs to boss monsters, EG
(Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju).
- Floodgates cards are not fun to play with or against, EG
- Game is over too quickly, and Turns take too long
- Floodgate cards end the game too quickly.
- Boss monsters end the game too quickly.
- Combos that end with unbreakable boards end the game too quickly.
- OTK are too easy to pull off, and end the game too quickly.
- Turns take too long, especially when playing against combo decks.
- Not enough creativity in Deckbuilding
- Decks rely too much on just playing archetypes.
- Most meta decks all look the same, or play very similar cards.
- There are not any good decks made up of non-archetype cards.
- There is not enough variance in the meta;
There are only ever a few good decks at one time.
- Not enough alternate formats
- Other games, such as Pokemon, and Magic,
have different "Formats".
- Different formats allow people to play in different ways.
- Competitive formats would appeal to competitive players;
Casual formats would appeal to casual players.
- More formats would lower the price of expensive cards on the secondary market.
- Other games, such as Pokemon, and Magic,
- Cards have too much text/Text is too small
- Size of text on cards is too small.
- Cards have too much text, EG
(Kozmo Dark Planet).
- Cards have too many effects
(Which leads to complexity
and ruling misunderstandings).
Compiling the Data
I also went ahead and counted the number of upvotes on each comment, in order to get an idea of how many people agree with each statement. As you can see in the chart below, the three "Major" categories are the lack of Banlist Dates, the Lack of Creativity, and the dominance of Floodgates and Bosses.
Note that the "Lack of Communication" from konami is mostly only complaints about the banlist.
As such, I've separated that factor into 2 different segments.
The Solution
So now that we've collected all of this data concerning our beloved game, what can we do about it? Lots of the issues discussed on this list can only be solved by Konami. For example, the rarity of cards – and the reprinting of cards – isn't an issue the playerbase can easily solve. We can't force konami to communicate more either, nor can we magically change the size of text on cards. So what can we do?
The answer can be found in a combination of all the remaining complaints. Three of the remaining factors – Too many "I win" cards, the Speed of the game, and the Lack of creativity thereof, are all features that can be solved by the final issue: The Lack of Formats.
Imagine if there was a different way to play the game; A game which is still Yugioh, but allows for more creativity, allows for fairly-paced gameplay, and removes all of the toxic floodgates and unkillable boss monsters. Sounds pretty good, right? It'd be a format with the modern-day appeal of Goat control; A format without unfair Boss Monsters and unbalaced Floodgates; A format where it's possible to have near unlimited deckbuilding choices – And to have those choices matter.
Well, this utopia doesn't have to be just a dream. It already exists – In fact, it was made precisely to counter all of the above issues.
Trinity is exactly the same as regular yugioh, but with a few tweaks to the ruleset that balance the game, and fix all of the problems we've been talking about. In fact, even the issues concerning Konami, that "The playerbase cannot fix", can be remedied through Trinity. Let me explain;
Firstly, here's a link to the Trinity Banlist.
The first thing you might notice is that the list is much, much shorter than the TCG and OCG banlists. This not only serves to make it easier to remember what is on the list, but is also just a product of some of the rule changes.
Rule Changes
Decks cannot normally contain more than 1 copy of each Unlimited Card
This one is simple to explain: As long as a card is Unlimited, you can't (usually) put more than 1 copy of it in your deck. The purpose of this rule change is to create more variance in deck building, and to make decks cheaper.
- Usually, decks play 3 copies of every unlimited card (for consistency), meaning that there are usually only 15 or so different cards in a 40-card maindeck.
- Because you're now restricted to 1 copy of each unlimited card, your maindeck is going to contain three times as many unique cards as before
- This means that you need to think three times as hard when deckbuilding.
- This also rewards players who have a large knowledge of the card pool.
- You no longer have to buy 3 copies of an expensive card. You now only have to own 1 copy of that expensive card
- This can cut deckbuilding costs down three times as much, since you only need one third of the amount of expensive cards as you did before.
The minimum maindeck size is reduced from 40 to 30
Again, this rule change is super straightforward: Instead of having a 40 card deck, you're now allowed to have a 30-card deck. This rule change is here to work in conjunction with some later rule changes (lots of players actually choose to play 40 or even 60 card maindecks in this format. You'll see why in a bit).
- Note that there are still more unique cards in a 30-card Trinity maindeck, as you're restricted to 1 copy of each card.
- In a 30-card maindeck, you're going to have 30 unique cards. This is still at least double the card uniqueness of a typical TCG deck.
"Decks cannot normally include any copies of proscribed cards,
but for every 5 cards above the minimum deck size,
that deck may include 1 additional copy of 1 Proscribed card or 1 Unlimited Card .
Decks may never play more than one copy of each Proscribed card."
This last one is a bit longer. I'll break it down. Imagine a proscribed card as a mixture of a Limited card and a Banned card.
Normally, you can't play any proscribed cards. But if you have a larger maindeck, you're allowed to play more of them. This is also true for Unlimited cards: If you have more cards in your deck, you're allowed additional copies of Unlimited cards. Here are some examples:
A 30-card deck isn't allowed to play any proscribed cards or extra copies of any Unlimited cards.
A 40-card deck is allowed:
- 2 Extra Proscribed cards, EG Monster Reborn and Confiscation.
- OR 2 Extra maindecked copies of an unlimited card, EG Torrential Tribute (Total: 3 copies)
- OR 1 Extra Proscribed card AND 1 second copy of an Unlimited card.
A 60-card deck could have a total of 6 Additional cards – So you could play 6 different Proscribed cards, or 3 maindecked Bujin Yamato and 3 maindecked Fire Formation – Tenki, as well as 3 maindecked Mystical Space Typhoon, or whatever you like.
The deckbuilding possibilities are endless.
Note that, by playing an extra copy of an unlimited card, your hypergeometric probability of drawing that card increases by more than it decreases. In layman's terms, if you want to consistently draw a certain card, playing more of that card will increase your chances of drawing it.
What are the reasons for adding proscribed cards to the format?
- Banning a card stops you from playing it in any deck.
- Proscribing a card is like a "Soft ban". It removes overly powerful cards from the front of the meta while keeping them viable for hardcore players that really enjoyed those powerful cards.
- It increases creativity in deckbuilding.
- Increasing your deck size makes your overall strategy less consistent, but is it worth it to play those super-powerful cards?
- It breathes new life into otherwise eternally banned cards.
- Proscribed cards can still be played. Banned cards can't be played. Proscribing a card allows players to play with broken cards, but without forcing those cards to be played in every single deck.
One last rule of Trinity format is :
"Neither player can summon/set more than a combined total of 3 effect monsters each turn. (This does not include Flip Summons. Summoning 2 monsters simultaneously counts as 2 summons)"
The purpose of this summoning limit is to slow down the game, and to stop degenerate FTK/OTK decks!
Phew! This has been a very long article already, but i'm quickly going to cover the main topics covered:
- Trinity format makes decks less expensive
- You're able to play less of the expensive cards and more of the cheap ones.
- The format is more diverse, so cheaper strategies are meta-viable.
- This Format is made by the fans.
- You can communicate with the format whenever you like.
- We will reply.
- Banlists, from now on, come out on the First of Every Month.
- Banlists are made by the players.
- Your views on the format can affect the Banlist.
- All Major Floodgates are proscribed.
- You see them less often – if at all- and they have less of an effect of the game.
- All "Unkillable" boss monsters are banned.
- Trinity is slow, like Goat Control.
- Games typically last around 10 turns. Turns each last a minute at most.
- There are no viable "Unbreakable turn 1 board" combos that last an hour.
- Creativity is the forefront of the Format.
- Every single rule change adds a new spin on deckbuilding
- Slower formats mean more decision trees and skill-based gameplay
Rember: Trinity format is Made by the Fans.
That's you.
You are the person who is able to help this format grow and prosper.
You are the person who is able to spread the word that this format exists.
Your voice can be heard. We will listen.

The Criminal Justice Inspector has recently issued a response to hate crime in Northern Ireland.
There were eight hate incidents a day reported to police in 2016. Let's just let that sink in – eight hate incidents a day reported to the police in Northern Ireland last year.
While the report expresses concern at the number of incidents it also suggests there is considerable under reporting – so incredibly the number of actual hate incidents may be much higher again.
During the year there were also more racist than sectarian hate incidents which is remarkable given the still relatively low numbers of people from BME communities living in Northern Ireland.
Yet, those people from a black or minority ethnic background tend to be in employment making major economic contribution to the local economy through taxes, rates and spending. They often play crucial roles in our health, education, agri-food and tourism sectors.
BME communities enrich this society socially, culturally and economically. So much has been added through our changing demographics and growing diversity allowing Northern Ireland to look beyond its traditional myopic and often closed mind-set.
The Chief Inspector's report makes a number of recommendations for the future. They include exploration of tougher legislation and sentencing for hate crime; that the PSNI and Public Prosecution Service should monitor and improve the quality of files used for potential prosecution; and that there should be a more robust policy response through the Executive Office.
All positive and necessary change.
The report highlights some victims of hate incidents are sitting at home in the evening with their lights off hoping that those outside think they aren't at home. What does that say about our communities outside those houses? What will the children living in those houses grow up thinking about those of us living outside their home?
It is up to all of us to change mind-sets within our community and of those neighbours living with us.
We all have responsibilities as citizens to stand behind our neighbours regardless of their background, faith or ethnicity. We all can take small steps and larger ones to prove that Northern Ireland is a genuinely welcoming place.
As a 14 year old Anne Frank wrote just before being arrested by Nazis "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
We don't have to aim for the world – let's start in our own street, now.

Biomedical science is a cutting-edge discipline. Discoveries are being made all the time that change our understanding of how the human body works. The course is studied in universities as an essay-based subject covering a broad range of topics – from molecular biology to how the body adapts to exercise.
Biomedical science is essential not only in learning the pathogenesis of disease but also in finding treatments, which can then be applied to clinical practice. You will also build research skills and learn how to become an excellent scientist, which can prepare you for a range of biomedicine careers – or a career in an altogether different field.
Throughout the course, you will be looking at how the human body functions, down to the level of cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and how they all work together. A Biomedicine degree is a suitable path for those who are passionate about medicine, but perhaps less interested in the direct patient interaction which is so intrinsic to both the Medicine degree and the vocation of a doctor. The degree provides no medical training, instead focusing on the scientific basis of disease and how it interacts with the human body.
