This Is Money: How to protect your finances before the Budget (and what to avoid)
With just one month to go before the Budget, Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce discuss what you might consider doing to prepare for it? Give money away, use allowances (CGT, ISA, pension contributions) to the full, or leave the country? The team reminds us that 'don't panic' is often the best way forward. There's also a couple of interesting readers' questions, about ignoring a father's will and re-marriage to save tax.

The Hypnotist: The Bodyfat Powerbank
As a physical energy source, bodyfat can be compared to one of those electrical powerbanks you use as a reserve for your mobile phone or tablet: a store of energy for when you need it. When you reduce food consumption your bodyfat store will start delivering, but it's important to get the balance right. A calorie deficit and a low insulin environment is a reasonable approach, but vegetables providing fibre and water won't hold back the process of weight reduction, and will do you good. Bear in mind also that the brain uses a lot of energy, and doesn't draw down from bodyfat — so check carefully when embarking on a weight loss strategy.

The Bigger Picture: The AI revolution, Labour heading to the market right & Cronygate
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that we are living through the days of immense change and that AI is an evolving technology without end. While imperfect and with moral challenges that need to be faced, everyone should get to grips with it. From non-doms to university fees and housing, he returns to the subject of Labour moving to the market right of politics with little challenge from the directionless Conservatives. And with Labour's honeymoon well and truly over and talk about links between Lord Alli and Syria's Assad, how damaging will Cronygate be?

The Business of Film: The Substance, Prima Facie, Michael Powell & Rebel Ridge
Box office is down 27%, says James Cameron-Wilson with new entry The Substance, a feminist body horror starring Demi Moore, entering only at #3. Although #12, Jodie Comer's Prima Facie has now taken £7.6m, the highest ever for an event movie and it is still screening. James waxed lyrical about the extras-laden Blu-Ray Michael Powell: Early Works, giving umpteen insights into the development of one of the UK's greatest directors. He was also positive about Netflix's Rebel Ridge, a thriller about corruption and racism in America's South with Aaron Pierre and Don Johnson, even if the drama ebbs away when it begins to resemble First Blood.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: US interest rates and UK market prospects
Russ Mould of A J Bell discusses the Fed cutting rates by half a percentage point – rather high for the start of a cycle – and China's latest attempt at stimulus. In the UK, cyclical sectors are leading the way and the market benefits from being lower-rated and having more political stability, at least more than the US. The FTSE-350 also has an effective yield of 7.5%. Financial markets were not keen on Brexit but the pound is now almost back to pre-Brexit levels against the dollar, which will help suppress inflation, even if it crimps earnings and dividends.

Thought for the Week: How shifting priorities risk our future
In our fast-moving world, priorities are often distracted: issues which require long-term focus often lose out as a result. Unscrupulous marketeers are well aware of this, and the New Weather Institute has published a report showing how fossil fuel giants are using sport sponsorship in order to divert our attention from the need to address climate change.
