Curiosity Stream

Thursday February  18 2021

Stuck at home with the whole family, looking for something constructive that all the kids would enjoy and learn something?

 

Here is an idea, Curiosity Stream

It is an on line delivery system of documentaries covering science, history, and nature.The cost is a mere $19.99 for an entire year!  I just watched a 20 minute on Perseverance, the fourth Mars Rover that in fact is landing on Mars today.

Becker Presentation on CMA

Wed Feb 10, 2021

I watched the Becker presentation on the CMA exam yesterday. since I was an undergraduate this is the first time Becker has offered review on anything

other than CPA.  You must register but the webinar is free. Click below.

Becker hired a CPA who created their review over a four year period. She narrates the webinar.

And the next day Gleim announced a similar review. Gleim has offered CMA for many years. But my contact there

tells me they are seeing much higher interest in CMA and CIA. See my next post for link to Gleim
