💥 General news
Bitcoin has slumped to its lowest level since the end of 2020, thanks to fears over accelerating inflation in the US. While cryptoassets have in the past not moved in step with traditional assets such as equities, in recent times the link between the two has grown ever closer. Now the clearest signal yet that cryptoassets such as bitcoin and ether are moving in lockstep with equities has flashed, as inflation worries have sent stocks and crypto tumbling. The reasons for this are varied, but much of it comes down to institutional holders which calibrate their risk assets in similar ways, be they tech stocks or bitcoin. US monthly inflation dropped in April from 8.5% to 8.3% suggesting price rises had found a ‘top’ – but fresh highs of 8.6% last Friday have rattled equity and crypto markets alike. Bitcoin began the week strongly, raising above the $31,000 level, but traded mostly around $30,000 later in the week. But over the weekend it has slumped to below $25,000 on the eToro platform, thanks to inflation fears. Ether likewise traded up to around $1,900 before oscillating around $1,800 later in the week. Over the weekend however the price has fallen significantly and is now trading around $1,300. $BTC $ETH
💥 Mastercard to launch NFT payments
Global payment networks firm Mastercard is set to launch direct support for NFT and Web3 platforms on its cards. The firm says it is working to enable customers to access the market and lower barriers to products with its payment solutions. With the NFT and Web3 space growing quickly, the addition of a major infrastructure element such as Mastercard cannot be underestimated. Access is perhaps one of the key issues when it comes to emergent financial technologies such as NFTs, and removing barriers to entry is a boon for the space. A rich and diverse sector has grown out of the emergent NFT market, and despite price weakness in recent months, the projects, ideas and innovations are still there working away. When huge institutional financial players such as Mastercard enter the sphere, it is a big moment. Mastercard already has options when it comes to other cryptoassets but NFT and Web3 are still nascent in this regard. The firm is working with some notable players, including The Sandbox, which is available on the eToro platform under the token SAND, to allow customers to use Mastercard cards on a variety of platforms to pay for digital goods. Mastercard says its partner firms generated some $25 billion in sales in 2021. $MA (Mastercard)
💥 Salesforce launches its own NFT platform
Cloud software firm Salesforce is launching its own NFT platform, named NFT Cloud. The firm is a global leader in business cloud software and has gone from strength to strength in the past few years as a leader in cloud computing, making an NFT platform a natural fit. The platform will allow business customers of the firm to mint and manage their own NFTs and help them to create brand engagement strategies and access. It is a classic play from the firm to offer tools to other businesses that open up new technologies. While there is already a strong market for NFT platforms and a panoply of ways to create them, the importance of firms such as Salesforce offering these kinds of tools is that it opens the marketplace up to companies that may not have sufficient internal tech savviness to create their own product from scratch. There is a clear appetite from consumers for NFTs that help them engage with the brands they love. The Salesforce offering is quite a compelling idea for their business customers to take on. $CRM (Salesforce Inc) This is a marketing communication and should not be taken as investment advice, personal recommendation, or an offer of, or solicitation to buy or sell, any financial instruments.

Today we are talking about change, innovation and adoption.
When the color tv came out in Italy in 1970s, the local authorities revoked most TVs claiming they didn’t do enough testing and that they could be harmful to the watchers. Maybe they were right, maybe not. The point being that it was a disruptive technology that the government tried to regulate because they didn’t understand it.
Another example is the internet. Continue reading…

The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. Faraday’s Law – English
The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction was discovered by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry, the results of the first experiment highlighting the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is published in 1931 by Faraday. The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction consists in the appearance of an induced electromotive voltage and an induced current in a circuit crossed by a time-varying magnetic flux. A simple experiment illustrating the phenomenon is shown in Figure 1. We have a coil at the terminals of which we connect a milliammeter forming a closed circuit. We bring a magnet in the vicinity of this circuit. If the magnet is at rest, the ammeter does not indicate any current. If the magnet is moved back and forth between the coil turns the needle of the ammeter deviates indicating the presence in the coil circuit of a current called induced current which indicates that this system (coil + magnet) behaves like an electric generator, the electromotive voltage appearing called voltage induced electric motors.

SLP speech pathology sound sticker
Everyone is talking about the war in UKRAINE, believing that they have found the right way to speak. The language of speech that we have to have every day I don’t think is the LATEST NEWS! It’s cool to listen to some music until your heart hurts, until all the sounds come out and you go on the wave. A cool musician can take you elsewhere to a fun festival with a Nordic 2-tone guitar voice. It was a band from Jamaica, but I don’t remember the symbols very well. It was a techno or retro dance at the party, but rocksteady was a love DJ, that’s what the 2-tone guitarist with a Nordic soul called him.
