M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets bines both. W: How do you relax in the evening? M: I very rarely do anything workrelated so it‟s easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a takeaway. To do something my brain will regard as creative. W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress? M: I don‟t think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find out what I do is effective for me. W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor? M: I have considered leaving my job due to stressrelated factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing. And if used the right way can actually be a positive thing. W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job? M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short medium and long term trading performance and success. Q2325 Q23.

One place scientists are studying very closely is Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface. The probes have also made scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat. Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.
