Good NHS Doctors Do Exist — Despite The Hand They’ve Been Dealt

Good NHS Doctors Do Exist — Despite The Hand They’ve Been Dealt They’re working in a flawed system — and they know it If you’re from the UK and were born between the establishment of UNICEF and the death of Princess Diana, I’m sure you know the National Healthcare Service (NHS) isn’t what it used to be.

Doctors told me I was 'just fat' - my serious medical condition was missed

As soon as I got my lipoedema diagnosis last year, tears rolled down my cheeks. For years, doctors told me that I was ‘just fat’. But finally a medical professional had confirmed my disproportionately large legs were a medical condition – an extremely painful chronic disease that causes fibrotic fat to accumulate in the lower part of the body, over which the patient has very little to zero control. It was the validation I’d waited nearly 30 years to receive. When I was 12 years old, I began

What’s the Difference Between Delusion and Belief?

How can you know the difference when it’s you in the hot seat? Belief. The one thing that can drive us to achieve our wildest dreams and also shut us inside our houses. Not only am I one of the latter, but I also take it one step further. It feels like my lack of self-belief has me overanalysing — and doubting — my every step. It often stops me from trying new things and regretting my time sitting on the fence and asking “what if I’d just gone for it?”

Sorry, I Didn’t Make It, I Was Murdered En Route

Women like Sabina Nessa aren’t safe to walk alone in the UK without being attacked and murdered… by men. What are the solutions for women’s safety? Of all the reasons for getting stood up, our date being murdered is the last thing we’d expect. Sabina Nessa, a 28-year-old primary school teacher, was found dead near a local community centre by a dog walker on the 18th of September. As a 31-year-old woman myself, this has confirmed a legitimate fe

NFT Marketplaces: The Crypto Playgrounds of 2021

In the digital world, NFTs have shown to be just as - if not greater value - than physical art we once deemed “priceless”. Digital artists and graphic designers are jumping to supply the demand whilst suffering from a plague of plagiarism within their community, with shameless scavengers testing the boundary between plagiarism and parody.‍ Beeple (aka Mike Winklemann) last year famously sold a single NFT collage for an incredible $69,346,250 through a first-of-its-kind auction at Christie’s in

A Digital Detox Is the Logical Beat for Boosting Your Remote Working Productivity

When choosing to uproot ourselves from our work desks and become payroll pariahs, a lot can change. Even when we feel we have grown enough to jump comfortably into the next phase of our careers, working from home brings an entire nursery of new hurdles. We are living in an age of distraction. Where smart devices are never usually more than a few feet away from us for most of our waking (and sleeping) lives. Where the data cookies we willingly leave behind like breadcrumbs are chased by alluring

Cryptocurrency Drives Opportunities in LatAm for Investors, Businesses, and Families

Bitcoin’s inception introduced a major phenomenon– online payments directly between parties would no longer require financial institutions as intermediaries. This compelled a small community of original investors and true believers–the blockchain technology aficionados as well as the speculators who sought to make money from what they thought was a new market scheme. What started out as a few lines of code committed to the Bitcoin blockchain back in 2009, has amassed a following far beyond that

How to Use SNAP Selling to Crush Your KPIs | tldv

To be a potential customer within a shrinking world is to be a fish in a sea littered with hooks. Where some bait may seem wildly inviting to some, most fish have evolved to know better than to fall for it hook, line and sinker. Especially when it can often result in costing their time – their most cherished commodity. Luckily, those in sales aren’t fishing at sea. They’re at their desks working hard with the near nonexistent time they have to balance customers needs with the demand to meet the

What Is XaaS Doing to SaaS in 2022? | tldv

For those who didn’t have them integrated into their businesses before entering remote work, they sought the aid of third-party collaboration and video conferencing tools like Slack and Google Meet and invested in the development of their own corporate SaaS-based solutions.

The U.S. Russian Sanctions Have Empowered Crypto Regulation To a Presidential Scale

On February 21 2022, President Joe Biden signed an executive order to block the property of certain persons and prohibit certain transactions with respect to the continued Russian efforts to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

2021 Was the Year of NFT'S, Will 2022 Be the Year of NFT Regulation?

At the start of 2021, NFTs were only known to a niche group within the crypto community. By year’s end, the market had swelled to over $40 billion (1) and had become a rakish phenomenon even to non-crypto adopters due to a rapid surge in investor demand. Large sums of money have historically been hidden and shuffled around under the guise of art. Agglutinating this commodity within a rapidly expanding digital market has inadvertently broadened the pool for money laundering under the guise of NF
