Working on a presentation, the most time-consuming activity for me is finding great pictures to illustrate concepts, emotions or whatever I’m trying to convey. Though their use is not that wide-spread yet, especially in the corporate world, they are very effective as tools to communicate, mostly because of the overweight the brain is putting on visual perception.

This Can't Be Good
I’m beginning to smell a black, black Christmas on Wall Street. Furthermore, I don’t think we’re going to see any babies born on the Upper East Side, in Greenwich, Connecticut, or in Mayfair next August, September, or October, either. Source: This Can’t Be Good

Time will tell if the Americans will also shift their views. In any events, the geopolitical situation is much more unstable now than it was before the confrontation. This is …
Add Russia to China, end of IPOs and tightening financing
