Princess Elizabeth was on a tour of South Africa, part of the British Empire at the time, when she turned 21 and made one of her earliest public addresses: “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” The speech was broadcast on the radio from Cape Town.

1947: ELIZABETH DEDICATES HER LIFE TO PUBLIC SERVICE

Elizabeth’s path to the throne was hastened by the abdication of her uncle and the early death of her father, King George VI. She became queen in February 1952, at age 25, and was 27 at the time of her official coronation in June 1953.The event was televised for the first time — a decision encouraged by her husband, Philip, that would catapult the royal family into people’s homes for decades to come. Millions in Britain and around the world watched the BBC broadcast from Westminster Abbey.

1953: CORONATION

Elizabeth visited President Harry S. Truman in 1951 when she was a princess, but she made her first state visit to the United States as queen in 1957, meeting with President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Queen Elizabeth has made more than 90 state visits, in addition to traveling widely in the British Commonwealth. While projecting the symbolism of the crown, she has helped to strengthen ties with allies and smooth fraught relationships in places such as India, Russia, South Africa and Ireland.

1957: FIRST STATE VISIT TO AMERICA

Queen Elizabeth II has never given an interview. But she has found ways to connect with her subjects, including through her annual Christmas address, a central part of British holiday traditions.As both head of state and head of the Church of England, she has mixed words of wisdom, faith and occasionally personal reflections.

 1957: FIRST TELEVISED CHRISTMAS ADDRESS

Thousands of adoring fans pressed past policemen and climbed onto palace gates and lampposts as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr arrived to meet the queen.Wearing a pale gold gown, she bestowed medals of honor on the British pop culture icons.Four years later, Lennon would return his medal, in protest of Britain’s support of the U.S. war in Vietnam and its involvement in the Nigerian Civil War.

1965: BEATLEMANIA COMES TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE

Space exploration ranks high among the scientific and technological advances during Elizabeth’s reign. After becoming the first people to land on the moon, Americans Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin undertook a global goodwill tour, stopping at Buckingham Palace on Oct. 14, 1969.Armstrong later revealed that he was so sick that day he considered skipping the event; instead he went and ended up coughing on the queen.

1969: A VISIT FROM THE APOLLO 11 ASTRONAUTS

Queen Elizabeth II broke centuries of tradition when, instead of waving from afar, she greeted people up close on a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1970. Since then, the “walkabout” has become a regular practice for many members of the royal family.

1970: THE FIRST ROYAL WALKABOUT

One of the rockier periods of the queen’s family life began with the fairy-tale wedding of her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, to Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981. Up to a million people sought to get a glimpse of the procession in central London, while the BBC estimated that 750 million people around the world watched on television.Although Diana was beloved as “the people’s princess,” the couple had a troubled marriage, with mutual accusations of infidelity. They separated in 1992.

1981: CHARLES AND DIANA’S MARRIAGE

South African President Nelson Mandela arrived in Britain in July 1996 for a four-day state visit to his country’s former colonizer. On that trip, Mandela and the queen developed a lasting fondness for each other. She hosted him at Buckingham Palace and took him on a carriage ride through central London.

1996: HOSTING NELSON MANDELA

The queen faced criticism for a slow response after the news of Diana's death in Paris. Days later, she spoke to the nation live from Buckingham Palace and said: “No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her...We have all been trying in our different ways to cope.”

1997: DIANA’S DEATH

The famously staid queen surprised audiences at the 2012 London Olympic Games by appearing in a dramatic opening segment alongside Britain’s most famous spy, James Bond, played by actor Daniel Craig.The real queen, poker-faced as always, entered her box seat with a familiar yet cheeky wave.

2012: LONDON OLYMPICS

Elizabeth had been married to Philip for 73 years when Buckingham Palace announced his death on April 9, 2021.His funeral, in the midst of the pandemic, was attended only by close family members and friends. The queen sat alone in a pew, wearing a black face mask, in keeping with national restrictions.

2021: PRINCE PHILIP’S DEATH

Parades, parties and a public holiday marked the queen’s Platinum Jubilee, which celebrated Elizabeth as the first and only British monarch to reach 70 years on the throne.The queen, smiling in a light blue ensemble and white gloves emerged on the balcony of Buckingham Palace as thousands reflected on her long life and reign. It would be one of her last major public appearances.

Queen Elizabeth II: A visual timeline of her 70 years on the throne

A paragraph is a unit of writing, longer than sentences but shorter than chapters or entire works. Paragraphs connect the small ideas of individual sentences into a bigger idea.

Paragraph meaning

Paragraphs follow a standard three-part structure with a beginning, middle, and end. These parts are:<ul><li>The topic sentence introduces the main idea the paragraph is about.</li><li>Development and support. Development sentences explain the idea in more detail, while support sentences provide evidence, opinions, or other statements to confirm the paragraph's main idea.</li><li>The conclusion wraps up the idea, sometimes summarising or transitioning to the next paragraph.</li></ul>

Paragraph structure

Most paragraphs contain three to five sentences. The number of sentences in a paragraph is based on the style of the writer. Some authors prefer long, descriptive paragraphs, while others prefer short, fast-paced paragraphs.

How many sentences in a paragraph

<ul><li>Expository paragraphs revolve around explaining and discussing one point or idea.</li><li>Persuasive paragraphs focus on discussing one point but support opinions instead of facts.</li><li>Narrative paragraphs explain an action or event. Each sentence provides new information.</li><li>Descriptive paragraphs focus on describing one topic. Each sentence adds new detail to the topic.</li></ul>

Types of paragraphs 

<ul><li>Ideally, you’ll already have an outline for whatever you’re writing. If not , decide on the paragraph topic and which facts to include.</li><li>Keep all related paragraphs together and in a logical sequence.</li><li>Set out the parts of your paragraph: topic sentence, development and support, and conclusion.</li></ul>

How to plan a paragraph

Your paragraph introduction should be the topic sentence unless you're doing narrative writing. Say only what's necessary. Save the details for the following sentences.

How to start a paragraph

For your reader's convenience, connect the sentences so the reader can move from one point to the next without getting confused.  Some paragraph sentences will run together on their own but others need transition sentences to help the flow. Use transition words like however, therefore, or similarly.

How to transition within a paragraph

If the paragraph looks too long after you’ve said everything, consider breaking it up into separate topics and paragraphs. The best way to end a paragraph is to summarise the topic with all the new information from the support sentences. However, you don't need to restate the topic. It's also reasonable to end a sentence stating one more piece of support.

Communication

How to Write Strong Paragraphs

Emojis are not hieroglyphics.<ul><li>Language has moved from more concrete characters to less concrete versions, allowing humans to communicate abstract concepts. But most signs point to emojis lacking the characteristics of a true language. For example, when given a string of emojis, two people will not always interpret them the same way.</li><li>Emojis cannot be combined in ways that function as a true linguistic system, meaning that, although they are a helpful bunch of symbols, they aren’t a particular, conventionalized system for representing abstract meaning, like English or Japanese or ASL.</li></ul>

Communicative System vs. Hieroglyphics vs. Language

If you adhere to the strictest definition of language, emojis definitely do not make the cut. However, if you define a language as “a system of words or signs that people use to express thoughts and feelings to each other,” emojis have a chance.Whether or not they can replace English or any other formal language, emojis have evolved into a meaningful communicative system, allowing users worldwide to express feelings, thoughts, and ideas in new visual ways. They represent an interesting and deeply entertaining evolution of language worldwide.

Today, it is easy to walk into a bank and transfer money anywhere around the globe, but how does this happen? Behind most international money and security transfers is the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/swift.asp">Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications</a> (SWIFT) system. SWIFT is a vast messaging network used by banks and other <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financialinstitution.asp">financial institutions</a> to quickly, accurately, and securely send and receive information, such as money transfer instructions.

The SWIFT Money Transfer System

<ul>
<li>Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) is a member-owned cooperative that provides safe and secure financial transactions for its members. </li>
<li>This payment network allows individuals and businesses to take electronic or card payments even if the customer or vendor uses a different bank than the payee.</li>
<li>SWIFT works by assigning each member institution a unique ID code that identifies not only the bank name but country, city, and branch.</li>
</ul>

Key Points

SWIFT assigns each financial organization a unique code that has either eight characters or 11 characters. The code is interchangeably called the bank identifier code (BIC), SWIFT code, SWIFT ID, or ISO 9362 code.
It is broken down as follows:
<ul>
<li>The first four characters: the institute code </li>
<li>Next two characters: the country code </li>
<li>Next two characters: the location/city code </li>
<li>The last three characters: optional, but organizations use them to assign codes to individual branches.</li>
</ul>

The SWIFT Transaction Code

Prior to SWIFT, Telex was the only available means of message confirmation for international funds transfers. Telex was hampered by low speed, security concerns, and a free message format. Telex senders had to describe every transaction in sentences that were then interpreted and executed by the receiver. This led to many human errors.
To circumvent these problems, the SWIFT system was formed in 1973. Six major international banks formed a cooperative society to operate a global network that would transfer financial messages in a secure and timely manner.

The World Before SWIFT

Although there are other message services like Fedwire, Ripple, and Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS), SWIFT continues to retain its dominant position in the market. Its success is attributed to how it continually adds new message codes to transmit different financial transactions.
While SWIFT primarily started for simple payment instructions, it now sends messages for a wide variety of actions, including security transactions, treasury transactions, trade transactions, and system transactions.

The Dominance Of SWIFT

Initially, SWIFT founders designed the network to facilitate communication about Treasury and correspondent transactions only. The robustness of the message format design allowed huge scalability through which SWIFT gradually expanded to provide services to the following:
<ul>
<li>Banks</li>
<li>Brokerage Institutes and Trading Houses</li>
<li>Securities Dealers</li>
<li>Asset Management Companies</li>
<li>Clearing Houses</li>
<li>Depositories</li>
<li>Exchanges</li>
<li>Corporate Business Houses</li>
<li>Treasury Market Participants and Service Providers</li>
<li>Foreign Exchange and Money Brokers</li>
</ul>

The Users Of SWIFT

The SWIFT system offers many services that assist businesses and individuals to complete seamless and accurate business transactions. Some of the services offered are listed below.
<ul>
<li>Applications for processing clearing and settlement instructions for payments, securities, forex, and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/derivative.asp">derivatives</a> transactions.</li>
<li>Business Intelligence and compliance services.</li>
<li>Messaging, Connectivity, and Software Solutions.</li>
</ul>

Services Offered by SWIFT

<ul>
<li>SWIFT is a cooperative society owned by its members. All members pay a one-time joining fee plus annual support charges which vary by member class. </li>
<li>SWIFT also charges users for each message based on message type and length. These charges also vary depending upon the bank’s usage volume; different charge tiers exist for banks that generate different volumes of messages.</li>
<li>SWIFT has launched additional services. These are backed by the long history of data maintained by SWIFT. These include business intelligence, reference data, and compliance services and offer other income streams for SWIFT.</li>
</ul>

The Commercial Aspects Of SWIFT

The majority of SWIFT clients have huge transactional volumes for which manual entry of instructions is not practical. The need for automation for SWIFT message creation, processing, and transmission is growing. However, this comes at a cost and increased operational overhead.
Although SWIFT has been successful in providing software for automation, that too comes at a cost. SWIFT may need to tap into these problem areas for the majority of its client base. Automated solutions within this space may bring in a new stream of income for SWIFT and keep clients engaged in the long run.

Challenges for SWIFT

SWIFT has retained its dominant position in the global processing of transactional messages. It has recently forayed into other areas, such as offering reporting utilities and data for business intelligence, which indicates its willingness to remain innovative. In the short- to mid-term, SWIFT seems poised to continue dominating the market.

The Bottom Line

Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) is the global standard for payment and securities trade transactions.

How the SWIFT System Works

The ancient Roman festival Lupercalia took place annually on February 15 and involved primitive forms of courtship and matchmaking. St. Valentine was also executed on February 14, around 278 A.D. Legend has it that he befriended the jailer's daughter and wrote a letter to her the night before his execution, then signed it, "From Your Valentine." Two centuries later, Pope Gelasius ordered that Lupercalia be replaced with February 14, observing St.Valentine's Day. The Romans also constructed the idea of Cupid, a god of love, which was adapted from Eros, a Greek god of passion and fertility.

The roots of Valentine's day lie in ancient Rome

Valentine's Day first became romanticiced by classic authors. Chaucer (1300s)Chaucer's epic poem The Parliament of Fowls referenced "Seynt Valentynes day." Shakespeare (16th century) Shakespeare popularised love with his "Sonnet 18" "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" In Hamlet, the character Ophelia recites a song about a young lady's experience with the holiday, "Tomorrow is Saint Valentine's day," and "To be your Valentine."

Shakespeare and Chaucer in love

By the 1700s, Valentine's Day made its way to the United States. It became traditional for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. In England, the Industrial Revolution eventually included the production of fancy valentines. When American Esther Howland received her first English valentine greeting in 1847, she believed there would be an American market for these formal, English-style greetings. She created the earliest American Valentine's Day greeting cards.

The 17th Century and Beyond

<ul><li>1714: Charles II of Sweden started communicating with flowers. This tradition set the stage for red flowers to be exchanged for Valentine's Day.</li><li>1822: The Cadbury chocolate company sells the first heart-shaped box of chocolates.</li><li>1849: Howland hopes to earn $200 with Valentine's Day cards but instead earns 25X.</li><li>1866: Conversation candies are developed.</li><li>1870: Howland incorporates her booming card business as the New England Valentine Company. In 1881, she sold her company to George C. Whitney Company.</li></ul>

Be Mine: A Brief History of Valentine's Day Marketing

Asset management is the practice of increasing total wealth over time through acquiring, maintaining, and trading investments that have the potential to grow in value. However, we must keep in mind that asset management has a double-barreled goal which increases value while mitigating risk (this is usually dependent on the client's tolerance for risk).

Asset Management

Asset manaement is a service that is offered by financial institutions that cater to high net-worth individuals, government entities, corporations, and institutional investors such as colleges and pension funds. Asset managers have fiduciary responsibilities where they make decisions on behalf of their clients in good faith. They determine which investments to pursue or avoid that's within the limits of the client's risk tolerance.

Asset Management Managers

Asset management companies compete to serve the investment needs of high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Accounts that are held by financial institutions often include check-writing privileges, credit cards, and brokerage services. Another added benefit is that the needs of the account holders from banking needs to investment needs can be met by the same institution.

How Asset Management Companies Work

Asset Management:<ul><li>Their clients give them discretionary trading authority over their accounts and are legally bound to act in good faith</li><li>They cater to the wealthy and usually have a higher minimum investment threshold</li></ul>Brokerage:<ul><li>Brokers require the client's permission before executing a trade </li><li>Brokerages are open to any investor and the companies have a legal standard to manage the fund to the best of their ability and in line with their clients' stated goals.</li></ul>

Asset Management Company vs Brokerage

Asset management is the practice of increasing wealth over time by acquiring, maintaining, and trading investments that can grow in value.

What Is Asset Management?

It refers to implementing specific techniques to balance risk in a portfolio. You might divide assets into categories, such as bonds, stocks and real estate.Each type of investment "behaves" differently, so any downturns in one asset may be overcome by the success of another asset. It can protect you against loss and can remain one of the most important decisions you can make about your investments.

Asset Allocation

<ol><li>Set specific goals. The more specific you can be in outlining your exact goals, the better you can allocate your assets.</li><li>Identify your risk profile. Just ask yourself this question: How squeamish do you feel about losing money in general?</li><li>Choose the correct strategy. You want to choose the right strategy in order to achieve all of your financial goals — including goals in the short term and in the long term.</li><li>Acknowledge your financial experience (or lack thereof). Can you make sound decisions that reflect your risk tolerance and goals? If not, you need to hire a fiduciary financial advisor to help you.</li></ol>

Effectively Allocate Your Investments

<ul><li>Loss avoidance: A capital preservation approach means you want to preserve the money you have in your portfolio and take little extra risk. If this is your position, it's important to remember that certain investments offer limited growth opportunities — they're low-risk, low-reward investments.</li><li>Medium risk: If you have slightly more of an appetite for risk, you may look for an asset allocation that represents a medium amount of risk, including the potential for moderate capital losses. This type of allocation could net you regular income from interest and dividend earnings.</li><li>Growth: A growth mindset is one that accepts risk through instruments with a higher risk profile. The more risk you assume, the greater your potential to accumulate wealth. Long-term growth should outweigh short-term losses because they have the best chance of appreciably growing over time, but you can also lose more money using this strategy as well.</li></ul>

Investing Approaches

<ul><li>Equities: Equities refer to shares of a company that you expect to rise due to capital gains or the generation of capital dividends. You can add many different types of equities to your portfolio to diversify it. A share of stock represents an equity interest in a company.</li><li>Fixed income: Fixed income includes investments in which the borrower or issuer must make fixed payments on a predetermined schedule to you, the investor. (Bonds are a good example of fixed income investments.)</li><li>Commodities: Commodities refer to basic goods used in commerce, such as beef, eggs, sugar, corn, soybeans and more.</li><li>Real estate: Real estate can offer another dimension to your portfolio, including cash flow, tax breaks, returns, an inflation hedge and more.</li></ul>

Types of Asset Classes 

Is asset allocation top of mind for you? We'll explain how you can look at asset allocation and why it's important in your portfolio.

More students around the globe are benefitting from the cost-effective option of distance learning.
In recent times, the internet and high-quality online curriculums and courses have changed how we view traditional education methods.

Learning outside the physical classroom

Back in 1728, Caleb Phillips advertised his teachings on a new shorthand method in the Boston Gazette. The lessons would be delivered by mail every week. In the 1840s, Sir Isaac Pitman also offered shorthand by mail. However, his students would send him a postcard with their efforts, and he would correct and send it back to them. Thus, the Phonographic Correspondence Society was born to formalise the courses. In turn, it led to colleges, and by 1873, the first correspondence school was opened.

The first correspondence school

Universities started offering distance learning options. Then, in the 1960s, the Open University took the idea further and offered a reputable alternative to traditional learning methods. The internet transformed distance learning, making it cheaper and faster. The first online course started in 1984. The pandemic in 2020 caused school closure, which meant more students had the opportunity to turn to distance learning.

Distance learning as an alternative

<ul><li>Distance learning is often cheaper than traditional learning methods. Many of the resources are free, while other courses offer great value for money.</li><li>It allows for a diverse learning atmosphere and experience, offering opportunities to interact with people from different cultures and backgrounds worldwide.</li><li>It's flexible. You can create your own learning schedule to fit around your other needs.</li></ul>

Distance learning benefits

<ul><li>Sign up for a course that aligns with your interests. For example, learn to code via Codecademy, or learn a language via Duolingo.</li><li>Collaborate with others on a peer-to-peer learning platform, such as Brainly, which helps people find answers to questions or acts as a homework help resource for students.</li><li>Post about your distance learning experience, whether it is to recommend a useful tool or to discuss a course that you completed.</li></ul>

World distance learning day activities

<ul><li>Brainly is the world's largest online learning community where students can connect with subject matter experts.</li><li>Duolingo is a highly rated language learning website and app to help you learn a second language.</li><li>Codecademy is an interactive online platform that offers free classes in 12 different programming languages.</li><li>Open Culture is packed with valuable learning resources, such as online courses, audiobooks, ebooks, and movies.</li><li>LinkedIn Learning offers video courses taught by industry experts. You can use a 30-day free trial and maybe persuade your boss to support you with a subscription. </li></ul>

World Distance Learning Day - August 31

The goal of the Cannes Film Festival is to promote and draw public attention to the works of French and international filmmakers. Since the first festival in 1946, Cannes, the small French seaside town, has become an international luxury destination and attracts the top film stars from across the globe. The Cannes Festival has been a setting in about 12 films, including Mr Bean in the second series of his adventures.

The Cannes Film Festival

<ul><li>The French Association of Artistic Action Director (AFAA), Philippe Erlanger and the film critics Emile Vuillermoz and Rene Jeanne came up with the idea of the Cannes Festival.</li><li>From 1946 to 1959, the jury of the Cannes Festival was only chaired by Frenchmen.</li><li>Since the mid-1990s, the jury meetings have been taken place at the Domergue Villa, in the California quarter.</li><li>The 24 steps require 60 metres of carpet and are changed three times a day during the film festival.</li></ul>

Interesting lesser known facts

In 1955, jeweller Lucienne Lazon created the Palme d’Or or Golden Palm. Since 1997, Swiss company Chopard has been in charge of manufacturing the award. The Golden Palm branch is made of 18-carat gold and is valued at about 20.000 Euros. Each year, two reserve awards are made in the event of two winners or an accident. Woody Allen has never taken part in the competition for the Palme d’Or, even though his films have repeatedly opened the Cannes Festival.

The Golden Palm branch

The main objective of the Cannes Film Festival has always been attracting public attention to the works of French and international filmmakers, raising the prestige of their films and promoting the film industry all over the world.

Facts about the International Cannes Film Festival

The media landscape has changed almost entirely. No one likes to call anymore and would rather text or snap. Our culture is completely on-demand and many can consume entire seasons of their favorite shows in one night.
We now live in an era where everyone is on their phones and no matter what content you put up on the internet, the content won't matter unless the audience finds it interesting enough for them to stop and watch.
It's all about the setup, the punchline, and hacking people's expectations.

Telling A Story on Social Media

We have to consider the environment in which our content will be consumed and how it would impact our creative approach.
In Hollywood, we make two hours movies that will be played in a big-screen theater while for social media, we have to make something that's goo enough for someone to stop scrolling their feed.
We should be smart about how we tackle content creating and completely have a grasp on the intent of the product.

Hollywood vs Social Media

The internet has grown into this huge unstopabble force where almost everyone is consumed by it, and in order to survive this consuming and demanding league, we must always try to make and do.
Placing enormous amounts of content is a good way to start building. Everyone started with zero, and consistently putting out content helped their platforms grow.

Mix Passion With Practicality

<ul>
<li>Document Pillar Content - these are the long form pieces of content such as daily vlogs, question and answers videos, keynotes, or podcasts.</li>
<li>Repurposed Into Microcontent - these are shorter pieces of content that can range from articles to images, gifs to rants.</li>
<li>Distribute Across Social Media - this is where you distribute all content on relevant social media platforms.</li>
</ul>

The Content Pyramid

In order to be able to put out more than 4 content pieces a day is to adopt the philosophy of "Document. Don't create"
By doing so, you will find ease in overcoming your fears of making yourself vulnerable out in the wild social media jungle. The content matters, but the creative will always be largely subjective. What isn't subjective is the fact that you have to put out more content so that you'll have more chances to be heard.

Creating 6-7 Meaningful Things A Day

Social media is the layer on top of the internet, they are the new mediums, and they're also the portals for where we can create.
Any content or story we put out there will work as long as you put it in context. You'll still be the same person but the room quite often changes and how you tell your story affects how it's received.
