Platforms To Watch Movies & Shows Legally

A Google search for your favorite movies and shows gives you thousands-to-a-million results. Some results point to the information sites while some take you directly to stream or download your favorite show or movie. Its a good thing that we get our desired result and enjoy the entertainment that Google helped us find. The thing that we fail to understand is that often these websites giving us free entertainment are not legal and they host pirated content. And its not a secret what happens next if we get caught watching pirated content. So, it is best for us to be safe online and inspect the websites we visit for our entertainment and find legal ways for that. I've found these platforms that host legal content online:  Where To Watch Netflix Hulu Amazon Prime Internet Archive YouTube Movies YouTube Shows Vudu Blockbuster Now Cinema Now Retrovision Classic Movies Xfinity Can I Stream It PBS Video Classic Cinema Online Lifetime Popcorn Flix Indie Flix Open Cultur

Platforms To Find Work For Freelancers

It's been a year since I started freelancing and it has been an awesome experience. I knew I wasn't made for the typical 9 to 5 job but I didn't have the courage to do something about it. I worked for 5 years in a traditional job growing impatient day-by-day. As a human being, our focus is not the same every hour of every day. Some days you are energetic and some days just pass on. Even in a day, there are specific timings for each one of us when we are extremely energetic, when we are unstoppable. I was no different. My attention span degraded each passing minute if I continued working for more than 4-5 hours. I had to take a break and re-energize. Gradually, I realized that this way I could sustain for longer hours without loosing my focus. So, I would take a break every 2 hours and take a walk or have a tea. This break would be about 10-15 minutes long. This started working wonders for me. So, I've been doing just that. Nowadays, I can work for 10-12 hours a day if
