  Iolanthe is a fairy banished from fairyland for the crime of marrying a mortal. Her half-fairy, half-human son Strephon is a fairy down to the waist, but his legs are human. He loves Phyllis, but she is courted by the whole House of Lords and the Lord High Chancellor himself! Strephon decides the only way to win his love is to go into Parliament, with the help of his mother and all his fairy aunts. None of them understand politics, but that doesn't matter. He will soon make some changes, starting with throwing the Peerage open to competitive examination! But how will Phyllis react when she catches Strephon with an impossibly young and very beautiful lady who he claims is his fairy mother? This is a spoken "poetic" version of the libretto written by W. S. Gilbert, where a full cast of voices brings the sparkling wit of Gilbert to the fore, and will enhance understanding and appreciation of this comic light opera.

  Investments may sound complex and for those who are not aware of the different types of investments and the terminology used by investors may find it confounding in the early stages. However, once you are a part of the investment world, you will soon get used to hearing the different investment terms. In addition to the terms, investments also require prudence and a good judgment when you have to choose from a number of different investment plans.  
  This is the reason why different investment strategies have come in place. These strategies work as a guide for many investors who are looking for assistance when it comes to investing profitably. The thing with these investment strategies is that they do not come in a ‘one size fits all’ form. Investment strategies vary according to the objectives of the investor.  
  Usually, investors have short term and long term goals with investments. By choosing one investment strategy over the other they identify their investment goals with the strategy they have picked. It is also important for investors to stick to a particular strategy rather than hop from one strategy to another because it can be chaotic to change investment objectives frequently. This however doesn’t mean that you end up sticking to an investment strategy which is not meeting your expectations.

  From Pessimism To Promise -...

  When it comes to technology, mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. 
  While these concerns are legitimate, we need to equally account for the fact that technology affords young people something incredibly valuable: a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significantly different outlook on technology. In fact, there is a contagion of optimism for all things digital. Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. 
  From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally driven approaches to design; how to create 'algorithms of aspiration'; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure and care; and what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, which challenge sacred ideas on degrowth, and the circular economy. Arora also takes heart in the power of numbers, as users from the majority world infuse algorithms with everyday aspirations, pushing for a new digital order. 
  Timely and urgent, From Pessimism to Promise makes a deeply compelling case that it is not naive to be optimistic about our digital future. On the contrary, it is our moral imperative to design with hope.

  Inside Out - Elite Performance...

  In any high-pressure environment, from special operations to the operating theater, you can divide people into two groups—those who control their performance from the inside out, and those whose performance is controlled from the outside in. 
  In Inside Out Charlie Unwin, one of the world’s leading performance psychologists, explains the techniques that enable the elite to perform at their best under immense pressure. It reveals how they think, prepare, and perform, taking you inside the highly unpredictable modern battlefield, the chaos of the catwalk, the operating theater, the stadium, the maximum-security prison, and the opera house. 
  Whatever the challenge, whether life-or-death, or simply chasing a promotion at work, we are all susceptible to becoming “outside in”—when you start paying more attention to the thought of not messing up than the process of doing something well. The “inside out” method helps you gain control so that you can have a greater impact. It’s about mindset, learning new skills, maintaining confidence, and sustaining great results over time. 
  Packed with inspirational stories, easy-to-follow steps, and mental training exercises informed by Charlie’s award-winning research into the performance mindset, Inside Out will help you realize your potential and lead a more successful and fulfilling life.
