Write the Right Way (And for Cheap)
Sometimes it feels like we need to have all the latest equipment in this ever-developing world, and in the writing world, this feels no different. There are new software packages and platforms making their way onto the market every day. So, do you really need a Macbook Pro, a copy of Final Draft, and the latest Microsoft Office software? Not necessarily. There are plenty of other options out there! Here’s how you can create literary works of art without having to break the bank.

The People vs. the Corporation
In today’s day and age, the corporation has become an entity in and of itself. It has grown from an idea of progress founded from the ashes of the industrial revolution to a foundation of society. Companies rise and fall based on the people and the society they're supposed to serve.

How to Get a Job as a Web Developer. Top Story - June 2019.
Job searching sucks. It's probably one of the most challenging, and if you're like me, depressing experiences you'll go through. This is especially true if you're entering a new industry, or if you're seeking a job with a higher salary. It's a roller coaster ride, to say the least.This is why I decided to become a teaching assistant for a web development boot camp early in my software engineer career. I know what it's like to feel imposter syndrome, to be rejected by companies you passionately want to work for, and to doubt your ability to get hired in tech. In this article I’ll cover:

Mobile-Banking—FinTech of the Future or a Flash in the Pan?
At a first glance, the idea of digital banking is that, through the reduction of overheads through leaner operations (mobile only means no banks, no bank staff, no utility costs, no security costs, no coin transfer costs, etc.) you can invest more into the costly technological advancements customers crave, whilst at the same time offering competitive banking bonuses and interest.

Knowing How the Business Industry Works
As many us may already know, money and business are connected with everything in the world, no matter where a person might be. Without having an efficient amount of money, it will be very hard to live a life of abundance. Unfortunately, nearly 80 percent of the world population experiences insufficient funds or does not have any money at all. A lot of this has to do with the world's teachings and economic structure. Many people believe that the economy is built in a way that makes the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Must Have Utility Products for a Fully Functional Commercial Industrial Facility
If you are planning to set up a commercial industrial facility, then you need to know how to go about it and what you need to do to get your manufacturing unit established. You could purchase a piece of land or rent one for your plant but you need to confirm that it has access to power and water, both of which are essential for your business. Apart from water and power, you also need to make sure of a few other things, as in whether the plant is easily accessible from the main roads, and whether it has the latest infrastructure. Check out the checklist posted below:

A Most Epic Branding Fail
There I was. Just killing time on a weekend roadtrip while riding in the passenger seat, as my wife drove on the interstate. I was doing what many people “of a certain age” do while a passenger, not traveling "the road less traveled," so long as their phone has a charge, and they have signal. I was pretty mindlessly scrolling Facebook. And on this particular morning, fortunately there wasn’t anything “really” important going on in the world. Of course that didn’t keep my “friends” from having a virtual fight over Trump “stuff!”

What the “PewDiePie vs T-Series” Battle Taught Me About YouTube and Capitalism
On March 31, 2019, PewDiePie (or Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg) uploaded a music video on YouTube titled “Congratulations” months since the supposed rivalry between him, and an Indian music video channel T-Series, run by a corporation founded in 1983 by an Indian fruit juice seller named Gulshan Kumar, had begun. The diss track, the second one PewDiePie had made since the release of “Bitch Lasagna,” throwing insults at T-Series, and making references to Indian stereotypes in the song that caused offense among some Indians, ironically congratulated T-Series for overtaking PewDiePie in terms of subscriber count, and similar to "Bitch Lasagna," attacking the Indian music video channel further, using a new set of Indian stereotypes in the song, and even making some references on India’s economic status, and the infamous caste system. However, what made "Congratulations" different from "Bitch Lasagna" is that it shortly featured PewDiePie thanking all his fans for sticking with him, and his channel through the many controversies he and his channel had been through during his career. This online competition for being the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world evolved into multiple facets, and had gained a considerable amount of following among both fans of the two competing channels, and the general public, despite remarks from PewDiePie in his YouTube channel, saying that the “rivalry” between his channel and T-Series is really nothing, but old fashioned online trolling, and that he doesn’t really care about who gets to be the most subscribed YouTube channel, as well as initial comments from T-Series managing director and chairman Bhushan Kumar, who is also the son of Gulshan Kumar, noting that he is not bothered by the race. Nevertheless, many prominent YouTubers around the globe voiced their support of PewDiePie, and many Indians, both ordinary ones, as well as Indian YouTubers, who felt insulted by PewDiePie’s seemingly racist remarks against Indians on his diss track “Bitch Lasagna,” flocked to T-Series, and began supporting the channel, which was “the Indian version of VEVO,” as said by one Indian who was interviewed in an Asian Boss YouTube video titled “What Indians Think of PewDiePie vs T-Series,” which was a street interview asking Indians about their opinions on the online competition between the two Youtube channels. Bhushan Kumar retracted his initial comments as well, and rallied Indians to subscribe to T-Series in his Twitter posts, tying the concept of Indian nationalism into the online battle, and arguing that T-Series being the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world would be a great source of Indian pride.

So, You Want to Work at a Bar?
Hours If you've never worked at a bar before, there are typically set hours in which servers, hostess, bartenders, and runners will work. The hours that the kitchen is open, are the hours that those jobs will have the shifts available, besides bartenders. Doesn't seem like a lot does it? On top of that, imagine being paid $7.50/hr, plus tips to serve for possibly only two hours or so, before you're cut for the day. There's no secret formula to figure out when it will be busy either, even if your restaurant is running a special.

Uber and the Fight for Fair Pay
During recent months, companies like Uber and Lyft are becoming more and more observed when it comes to the safety and overall well-being of their drivers. As a new resident of Las Vegas, I can say that I have taken both ride share companies. During my time here, I was able to get well aquatinted with the local drivers and what this city has to offer.
