Being well and staying well are hot topics at the moment, and rightfully so. It is bizarre to think that we have had to put up with all that Covid-19 and lockdown have thrown at us for almost 600 days already. It is clear from casual conversations, even sometimes with strangers, that both the pandemic and lockdown are having an impact on everyone. Defining and quantifying that impact remains to be seen, but all we can be sure about now, is that the world’s biggest psychological experiment is playing out before our very eyes.

The beauty of the human race, however is that we constantly learn and adapt, and that we often pass …….

Around half of all US households have some money invested in the stock market, according to the Pew Research Center. Just a few years ago, I was part of the other 50% that didn’t invest anything at all. Investing has always been foreign to me, and I definitely didn’t learn anything about it growing up.

Managing Director of EDC Investments Ltd, Paul Kofi Mante has explained that the journey to financial independence is not a sprint but a marathon.

He attributes the rise in the get rich mentality amongst the youth to the unrealistic notion that the road to financial independence is a 100m sprint.

And if they’re not in political power, then they don’t get to sway decision-making. Everything gets decided on their behalf, and as we have seen over the last year, not always in thei…….

TUBA CITY, Ariz. — It’s a familiar sight to anyone who knows the Navajo Nation: red sandstone, yellow-tinged sagebrush, a blue sky canopy that meets a protective ring of mountain peaks, with sheep and cattle dotting the fields.

A newer addition to the timeless landscape is a series of hand-lettered turquoise signs along southbound U.S. 89 near Tuba City.

“Native people are resilient, resourceful, kind, and most of all hopeful,” one says.

The messaging reflects how far the Navajo Nation has come in battling and recovering from COVID-19, and how it remains vigilant against a disease th…….
