A Complete Guide for a Beginner Crypto Investor

Did you know that nearly fifty million Americans say that they plan to buy crypto for the first time within the next year?

Even though the value of many cryptocurrencies is down in 2022, experts say that they are here to stay and will only become more important in the future. This is why it’s such a good idea to start investing in cryptocurrencies as quickly as you can.

The problem that many people face is that they don’t know what it takes to become a crypto investor. To help you out, we’ve written a guide. Keep reading if you want to find out more.

Know What You’re Getting Into Before Making a Your First Crypto Investment 

No matter what kind of investment you choose to make, it’s essential that you get your facts straight before making any decisions. This is an especially important thing to do with cryptocurrencies because they are so new and because there are so many of them.

The most popular coins include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin. Each of these coins has its strengths and its weaknesses.

Bitcoin is by far the most well-known coin, which is why it is so easy to use to perform transactions. You can find out more about the benefits of using a Bitcoin ATM here.

Remember that Cryptocurrencies Can Be Volatile 

It’s possible for cryptocurrencies to drop in value within a matter of minutes. On the other hand, their values can also quickly skyrocket.

This is why you should keep track of every crypto investment that you make. By doing this, you’ll be ready to make quick trading decisions when you need to.

Crypto Investing: Never Invest More than You’re Able to Lose 

If you are not able to lose the money that you invest, you shouldn’t be investing it. Therefore, make sure that you have the money that you need to be stored in a savings account so that it will be there when you need it. Make a promise to yourself that you won’t use any of this money for making investments.

Don’t Try to Predict the Future by Looking to the Past  

One of the most common mistakes made by those who are investing in crypto for the first time is assuming that just because a certain cryptocurrency grew in value in the past, it will continue to do so in the future.

Instead, you should try to make investment decisions that are based on what is likely to bring future returns. You can find this out by doing as much research as possible about cryptocurrencies that you’re thinking about purchasing.

Become a Crypto Investor Today 

If you’ve been wondering how to become a crypto investor, keep in mind how important it is to do plenty of research before getting started. You should also know that the values of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile.

Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) Review

"Prisoners of the Ghostland" Theatrical Poster

“Prisoners of the Ghostland” Theatrical Poster

Director: Sion Sono
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Sofia Boutella, Ed Skrein, Tak Sakaguchi, Bill Moseley, Nick Cassavetes, Yuzuka Nakaya, Young Dais, Koto Lorena, Jai West, Cici Zhou
Running Time: 103 min.

By Henry McKeand

When talking or writing about Nicolas Cage, the word “extreme” inevitably comes up. In some ways, it has defined his career, leading to a perhaps unfair reputation as an overactor. This reputation, coupled with memes and viral videos and a glut of direct-to-video sludge necessitated by his own poor financial planning, led to Cage becoming a punchline for legions of uninspired internet humorists. Recently, thanks to roles in films such as Mandy, Color Out of Space, and Pig, Cage has rebounded from this career low point. Even his most gonzo performances are being reappraised by those who once wrote him off as a one-note has-been. Recently, his celebrity image and brand of extreme, expressionistic acting, which he calls “Nouveau Shamanic,” were reclaimed by the self-referential The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, in which he played a version of himself. It seems that Cage has found power in leaning into the joke. 

For those (this writer included) who view him as one of the greatest film stars of all time, this is mostly a good thing, but the Cage renaissance is not without its caveats. Because, by embracing his wide-eyed Wicker Man image, Cage runs the risk of losing a piece of what once made his career so special: down-to-Earth likeability. His admirers often talk about his electric work in Bringing Out the Dead and Wild at Heart, but his greatest trick was always his ability to dial it back Continue reading

White Storm 2: Drug Lords, The (2019) Review

"The White Storm 2: Drug Lords" Theatrical Poster

“The White Storm 2: Drug Lords” Theatrical Poster

Director: Herman Yau
Cast: Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Michael Miu, Karena Lam, Kent Cheng, Gordon Lam, Chrissie Chau, Cherrie Ying, Michelle Wai, MC Jin (Jin Au-Yeung), Ben Yuen 
Running Time: 100 min.

By Paul Bramhall

In 2013 the late Benny Chan unleashed The White Storm, one of the most divisive Hong Kong action movies in recent memory. While some hailed it is a glorious throwback to the heroic bloodshed era, others called it an unwatchable mess. I fell squarely into the latter category, finding its mix of saccharine nostalgia, laughable character motivations, implausible back from the dead plot twists, and derivative action scenes to be a truly heinous concoction of awful cinema. So the announcement of a sequel shouldn’t have been something to be thrilled about, however the news that it would be a Tiger Cage style thematic follow-up, focusing on a completely new plot and set of characters, was enough to pique my interest.

For the follow-up, sub-titled Drug Lords, Benny Chan stepped away from the director’s chair (and indeed the production all together) and handed over the reins to Herman Yau. While Yau will likely remain most well-known for the infamous Cat III flicks he made with Anthony Wong in the 1990’s like The Untold Story and Ebola Syndrome, over the subsequent 25 years he’s proven to be as diverse as he is talented. In the late 00’s and early 10’s he dabbled in the kung-fu genre, helming the non-Donnie Yen Ip Man entries The Legend is Born – Ip Man and Ip Man: The Final Fight in 2010 and 2013 respectively, as well as the Qiu Jin biopic The Woman Knight of Mirror Lake in 2011. It would be 2017’s Shock Wave though that gave us our first taste of Herman Yau the big budget action Continue reading

Tips on Forging a Career as a Police Officer

Many people want to get into a career that is respected, where the work is diverse and interesting, and the pay and other benefits are excellent. Well, if this sounds like you, a career as a police officer could be the ideal choice for you. If you want to get into the police force, there are certain steps that can help you to achieve your career goal. Of course, you need to be committed and dedicated, but the rewards you can enjoy in this type of career make it well worth the effort.

When you become a fully-fledged police officer, you can look forward to a career where you get to help others and serve your local community. This is a respected job, and it comes with many perks such as excellent pay, lots of progression opportunities, a great retirement scheme for your future, and much more. By creating a plan of action to work toward this type of career, you can boost your chances of success and look forward to a bright and exciting future. In this article, we will find out more about this.

What You Can Do to Increase Your Chances of Success

There are a few steps that you can take if you want to increase your chances of success when it comes to becoming a police offer. Some of these are:

Do a Relevant Degree

One thing to keep in mind is that the police force provides training to potential new recruits, and this involved intensive training and an entrance exam. It is important to be focused and dedicated so that you ace the exam and do well in the training if you want to make it as a police officer. However, you can also boost your chances further by doing a relevant degree such as law enforcement. This will expand your knowledge and give you an edge over the competition.  

Get Some Experience

Another thing that you can do is to try and get some experience, and one of the things you can do is to contact your local police department to see if they can help. Some departments will let interested candidates shadow a serving police officer every so often, or you could even spend a day at the station to see what goes on. Either way, the experience will give you an idea of what to expect, and it gives you something to put on your resume.

Create a Good Resume

Talking of resumes, it is important to create a solid and impressive one to boost your chances of success and demonstrate your suitability for the police force. You can find cover letter templates and resume examples to help you with this if you go online. You can then impress those who make important decisions regarding recruitment and selection.

These are some of the steps that can help you when it comes to getting into the police force and forging a successful career.

Kiltro (2006) Review

"Kiltro" Theatrical Poster

“Kiltro” Theatrical Poster

Director: Ernesto Díaz Espinoza
Cast: Marko Zaror, Caterina Jadresic, Miguel Angel De Luca, Daniela Lhorente, Luis Alarcón, Alejandro Castillo, Man Soo Yoon, Roberto Avendano
Running Time: 93 min.

By Henry McKeand

At first glance, Marko Zaror is what you expect from an action star. A tall, intimidating martial artist from Chile with an intense screen presence, he was first introduced to most action fans as the villainous Dolor in the minor DTV classic Undisputed III. Zaror’s role as Dolor required him to ratchet up the scariness factor, as did later performances in films such as Machete Kills and Savage Dog, and it was immediately clear that he could have a career as a Hollywood heavy. Here was a man born to play the psycho and lose fights to more established names.

But there’s more to Zaror than meets the eye. That intense screen presence that made him an instant favorite in Undisputed III wasn’t just the result of a training regimen and unique bone structure—there’s a raw, vulnerable edge to his performances that lingers just under the surface. To this day, no American filmmakers have been able to harness Zaror’s leading man energy, but there’s one director from his native Chile who has always understood his star potential.

Ernesto Díaz Espinoza is a clear fan of bone-crunching genre cinema that pushes bodies to their limit. In Zaror, he found his muse—a rough yet magnetic actor capable of performing virtually any stunt a young screenwriter could dream of. But while Espinoza clearly relished at the opportunity to work with a physical performer of Zaror’s caliber, he wasn’t content simply creating a piece of mindless, macho spectacle. Instead, the films he ended up making with Zaror feel Continue reading

Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (2020) Review

"Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes" Theatrical Poster

“Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes” Theatrical Poster

Director: Junta Yamaguchi
Cast: Kazunari Tosa, Riko Fujitani, Gôta Ishida, Masashi Suwa, Yoshifumi Sakai, Haruki Nakagawa, Munenori Nagano, Takashi Sumita, Chikara Honda, Aki Asakura
Running Time: 70 min.

By Paul Bramhall

The concept of time travel is always an interesting one when it’s transferred to screen, and the Japanese film industry has flirted with it just as much as any other. From modern day military units transported to feudal Japan in the likes of G.I. Samurai, to the quirkiness of Summer Time Machine Blues, to of course the countless romantic spins on the genre. What all of them have in common is characters travelling back to the past, whether it be days or decades, and their need to adjust to a different time period or right a wrong. Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes also uses time travel as its key theme, however it does so in an arguably more minutiae way than any of its predecessors (and perhaps anything that’ll come after it), dealing with a café owner who realises the monitor in his room is capable of showing 2 minutes into the future.

Played by Kazunari Tosa (Prisoners of the Ghostland, Misono Universe), his character lives in the apartment directly upstairs from the café he runs, and this realisation comes about when he returns home one night and the monitor flickers on, his own face staring back at him from behind the screen. His 2 minutes into the future self is back in the café downstairs, and after explaining the strange phenomenon to his current self, his current self heads back downstairs – completing the loop and setting things in motion. Soon the café’s barista, played by Riko Fujitani (Beautiful Dreamer, Asahinagu), gets in on the action, who proceeds to call up 3 of the cafes regulars Continue reading
