Without any doubt the event of this month has been the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom monarch. Most of you will probably know a lot about the life of the queen having heard, read and watch the numerous programs that saturated the media in most of the world.

We have published two articles about this world event, that might present you with some stories that attracted less coverage. First we talked about the way the news has been released to the public, especially how it was announced to politicians and media (and then we described the extraordinary organisation of the 10 days funeral ceremony). Our second article focuses on the future of the British monarchy in the world, as well as alarm raised by the way the British authorities have dealt with the few protesters.

But this months is not all about the Queen of course. In a more practical way, we talk about top Best Payment Methods for Freelance International Writers, but also about the minumum wage regulation and progress made within the European Union.

We also discuss the situation for the wealthiest and discuss the recent initiative of over one hundred ultra-wealthy individuals from across the globe who are concerned about growing inequality and are encouraging their respective governments to tax their wealth to recover from recent economic setbacks.
