It's hard for some kids to read—it can seem boring, difficult, and a chore. Adults too, perhaps even more so. But in either case, the key to creating voracious readers is finding them the right books—and for kids of all ages, that often means helping them dive into fantastic worlds of magic and mystery, bravery and adventure, and really cool technology.

Everyone reacts differently to heartache and rejection, but some responses are healthier and more effective than others. And many responses to grief, though they might feel good in the moment, can make the healing process longer and more difficult.

In the technological age, print publications are rare. Most people get their news and information either directly from online news sources, like the digital versions of the New York Times or Washington Post, or, more often, second-hand through social media. This ease of information access is both a blessing and a curse: there is an abundance of information and news for your consumption, free and right at your fingertips, but at the same time, anyone can say anything they like on the internet. Shoddy research, questionable interpretations, and more can make good reporting hard to find. But it's out there, if you know where to look. That's why, now more than ever, investigative journalism websites are extremely important. Some of the next best investigative journalists of all time could come from these sites.

Landscape and street photography are about immortalizing the beauty of a moment or scene, whether it be capturing the perfect beach sunset or right in the center of an urban city. While these moments and images can be captured, superficially, by just about any camera, truly encapsulating the beauty of a single moment or scene takes special equipment. These moments are why photographers want to make sure they are using the best cameras for landscape and street photography, so they can be sure to capture all the right details. While there are many good options for photographers though, the best cameras are going to have certain, specific features that lend themselves to these specific kinds of photography.

Remember the days when your entire family shared one big ol' desktop computer, and you'd fight tooth and nail for your half hour of playing minesweeper? Ah, simpler times. But now, we have access to incredible technologies, computers that can do a thousand times more than those old desktops. And that's great! But it also means that when you need a new laptop, you have a LOT of options to sift through. You want to make sure you choose the right laptop for you and your individual needs, not just the best laptop to buy this year based on what's most highly rated or popular at the moment. That means you should take into account a wide range of factors, and consider such things as: how you plan to use the laptop, your budget, and your memory requirements. Here, I'll go into a little more detail about these kinds of factors, and how to choose the right laptop for you.

It can be difficult to know what to look for in potential employees when the work they'll be doing is brand new. You don't want to exclude potentially qualified candidates based on their knowledge of or experience with the subject of your company, so you can't just list "experience" as a requirement. You have to be able to look past direct experience and be able to hire the right people who have the skills to learn what they need to learn to succeed with you. One such up-and-coming field is the blockchain industry, a rapidly growing group of companies and employees that has just begun to take off. Part of the success of these companies is their ability to successfully create an expert blockchain team, despite the limitations of a budding field.
