Online Financial Advisor

Image
Joseph Gissy is a Financial Advisor for Capital Management Services, Inc. in Los Angeles, California. His company gives people easy and affordable financial planning as well as access to many other financial services via their fingertips. We have conducted a short interview with him: How can someone know if he or she should start a debt reduction plan? And how to execute it effectively? Anytime a person has debt, they should start a debt reduction plan. However, the best plans start even before they get into debt of course but that is not necessarily the case with most people. We find ourselves wrapped in debt where credit cards, loans and all our other bills start to get out of control. Just having a conversation with a financial advisor or consultant can help you start in the right direction. Using financial software to plan out and manage debt is one of the quickest and easiest ways to manage your finances as well as they typically create a solid plan to move forwar...

Later that night John Frusciante, Giovanni Ribsi and I ended talking and hav...

Jenna Warren’s Next Step

Image
Every generation and culture has a defining show of their youth. From the Mickey Mouse Club to Saved by the Bell to Degrassi , these shows create a shared experience. They also foster the young talent which appears on them, ala Drake (who played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi ). Frank van Keeken, known for creating shows like The Kids in the Hall and Wingin' It , turned his concept of a youth program about dancers into The Next Step. The series has already received accolades which include Canadian Screen Awards, Gemini Awards, and BAFTA awards. The show capitalizes on the varied youth dance culture and is already a certified ratings success airing on more than one hundred networks worldwide, including on NBC’s Universal Kids network and the Family Channel. The Next Step was the first official television hit for Canada’s own Jenna Warren . Landing the role of J Troupe dancer Camille at only twelve-years old has resulted in Warren’s maturation as a young lady and an actor/dancer liter...
