Ikea Counters Air Pollution in India by Reusing Rice Straw

Swedish furniture retailing giant Ikea wants to turn rice straw from India into a renewable material source for its products. The concept should help reduce air pollution in one of the most polluted countries.

For more than two weeks now, India’s capital has been covered by a toxic fog that causes breathing problems and eye burn. The air quality improved for the first time in two weeks on Wednesday, when it went from ‘severe’ to ‘very poor’ and on Thursday to ‘poor’.

Ikea’s “Better Air Now” to Cut Down Pollution

One of the causes of dense smog is crop burning, a practice that Indian farmers use to get rid of the rice straw at the beginning of winter. Despite being banned to protect the air quality, farmers continue to use stubble burning to prepare the land for a new crop.

The Swedish company plans to buy the residue and use it to manufacture new products, as part of their “Better Air Now” initiative. Helene Davidsson, Sustainability Manager South Asia at IKEA Purchasing stated:

“We know that burning of rice crop residue is a major pollution source and with this initiative, we hope that will change. If we can find a way to make use of rice straw, it would become a valuable source for the farmers instead of being burnt, which in the end also would contribute to better air for people.”

The furniture retailer wants to have the first product prototypes made with rice straw by the end of this year. The company plans to sell rice straw-products in India during 2019 and 2020, then expand the concept to other markets.

9 of 10 Most Polluted Cities Are in India

India struggles to maintain its air quality, and crop burning is only a trigger for the toxic smog that covers the most crowded cities of the country. A study by the World Health Organization revealed that nine of the world’s ten most polluted cities are in India.

Delhi ranks 6th on the list at the moment, and crop burning is responsible for a quarter of the air pollution in this city. Other factors that pollute the air are vehicle emissions, industry, and a significant amount of smoke due to the firecrackers burned to celebrate Diwali.

This year, the Indian government decided to spend $230 million in 2018 and 2019 to prevent stubble burning. The money was intended to cover the costs of removing crops from fields in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, three states that border the capital.

Ikea is planning to contribute by buying crop residue from farmers. The retailer has opened its first Indian store in Hyderabad, in July 2018. The Swedish company plans a $1.53 billion investment in the local market, for opening 25 stores across the country.

P-Diddy’s Ex-Wife Kim Porter Passes Away at Just 47

The sad news has just surfaced that the former wife of music mogul P-Diddy, Kim Porter has passed away at the tender age of only 47. We mostly like to have fun on this website in regards to the news, but unfortunately, life can sometimes be a dark vacuum.

There is nothing sadder than someone passing away before their time, especially someone with kids. Life can be cruel.

What Happened to Kim Porter?

Kim Porter was the ex-wife of Sean “P-Diddy” Combs and was found dead on Thursday at her home in Los Angeles. She and P-Diddy raised four children together. She was also a respected model and actress and a strong woman of many talents.

A statement from a Combs family representative said:

“Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time.”

The death was confirmed by the Los Angeles Country Sheriff’s Office saying that they responded to a death investigation at 11:40 am on Thursday and found Porter unresponsive in her Toluca Lake, California home. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reports Are Saying Cardiac Arrest

Although reports of the actual cause of the death of Kim Porter are still thin on the ground at such an early time, TMZ has detailed that the emergency 911 dispatch call said it was cardiac arrest.

The speculation currently doing the rounds online is that Kim Porter was suffering from pneumonia for the past few weeks and could be linked to her passing away. Although speculating at this time is probably unwise and insensitive.

The couple first married in 1997 and spent 10-years together. They had three kids together while P-Diddy also looked after Porter’s first child that was a product of a previous relationship with another record producer named Al B. Sure.

Kim Porter and P-Diddy amicably split-up in 2007 when rumors that the record industry kingpin had fathered a child with another woman were rife.

We wish the family of Kim Porter and P-Diddy all the best at this dark time and hope they get to grieve without too many prying eyes.

UK Pharmacist Strangles Wife with Plastic Bag for a £2m Insurance Payout

They say that money is the root of all evil and in this gruesome case, it appears to be true. UK pharmacist Mitesh Patel murdered his wife Jessica Patel with a plastic bag so that he could use her life insurance money (£2 million) to escape to Austrailia with his new beau (a man) he met on dating app Grindr.

UK Pharmacist Mitesh Patel Strangled His Wife

It all happened at the couple’s Middlesbrough home on the morning of May 14. Prosecuting QC, Nicholas Campbell, said:

“Jessica Patel had been killed as a result of pressure being brought to bear on her neck. She was strangled.”

Jessica Patel was declared dead at the scene by the emergency services who arrived. The weapon of choice to commit the grizzly deed? A plastic supermarket bag from Tesco’s ironically called a Tesco Bag For Life. It was used both as a means of strangulation and suffocation.

At first, the police treated Mr. Patel as a witness until, upon examination, they found incriminating scratches on his neck. Further investigation revealed ample motive for killing his wife as she had several insurance policies in her name.

Mr. Campbell said:

“He was planning to use the money to start a new life in Australia and that life would be shared with the person who he really loved, one who he regarded as his soul mate–another man.”

Your Online Footprint Reveals Everything

The unhappily married couple ran a local pharmacy and had been together since university days. But Mr. Patel began a secret life cheating on his wife with a man that he met online. He was planning to use her insurance money to start over down under.

As the police carried out more digging into the motives, they found internet searches dating back over five years in which Mr. Patel searched for ways to kill his wife. One of which included how much insulin was needed to kill a healthy and non-diabetic person. He has also searched for subjects like “How do I arrange a funeral?” and “The death of a spouse.”

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, Mr. Patel denies charges of murder and insists that a burglar broke into the property and strangled Mrs. Patel.

However, whether or not his story will hold up in court remains to be seen. Jurors were also told that Mr. Patel was acting strangely after his wife’s death and that he had “staged” the break-in by turning his house upside down and trying to destroy the CCTV footage.

The trial continues… And for anyone thinking about looking for ways to do away their better half, remember your online footprint reveals everything.

Nvidia Shares Plummet Due to Enduring ‘Crypto Hangover’

Chipmaker Nvidia saw its shares plunge yesterday upon releasing its Q3 earnings report. The company cites dwindling demand for its GPUs (graphics processing units) from cryptocurrency miners as the main cause for missing its revenue forecasts. Demand from crypto miners has, in fact, all but dried up.

Nvidia reported earnings of $3.18 billion, still up by 21% YOY but missing the predicted target of $3.24 billion. Chief executive Jensen Huang cited the “crypto hangover” as the key culprit for the stockpile of unsold inventory.

In the company’s Q3 earnings report, Huang said that Nvidia’s:

“Near-term results reflect excess channel inventory post the cryptocurrency boom, which will be corrected.”

In other words, like plenty of other companies and individuals who saw profits and demands boom in the crypto bull run, the company was able to charge a high price for its graphics cards. However, now that demand has all but petered out, the prices are too high to attract enough customers who are turning to more affordable cardmakers.

Nvidia Q3 Earnings Report Reflects ‘Crypto Hangover’

The high-end chipmaker also said that it expected to record revenues of $2.7 billion this quarter, far short of Refinitiv estimates of $3.4 billion. This marks a drop of almost 30% in the company’s PC gaming business that supplies chips for gamers and cryptocurrency miners.

Huang told Reuters:

“The crypto hangover lasted longer than we expected. We thought we had done a better job managing the cryptocurrency dynamics.”

Adjusting Prices in a Fierce Bear Market

The GPU division saw a dent in its bottom line of $57 million as a direct decline from crypto miners for its chips, reflecting the fierce bear market conditions all around. Huang admitted:

“This is surely a setback and I wish I had seen it earlier.”

As the company starts to provide resellers with a new range of “Turing” processors for high-end gamers, supplies of its previous stock remain unsold. Mr. Huang stated that the company had been slow to reduce the prices and that they had some 12 week’s worth of inventory unsold. However, now that their price correction is more in line with demand, he was hopeful that customers would return.

Given the current slump in crypto markets, though, it’s unlikely that the chipmaker will be seeing a rise in demand from miners ay time soon.

The slump in its gaming division will also force the company to seek growth in its other areas. such as cloud computing and customers that use its chips in machine learning.

Source: Google

In the most recent quarter, Nvidia said that it earned $1.23 billion ($1.97 per share) compared to $838 million ($1.33 per share) the same time last year. That wasn’t enough to placate investors though and Nvidia shares fell by 16% in after-hours trading.

Rapper Tee Grizzley Is Off Parole, Ready to Make Millions

Like most artists, rapper Tee Grizzley had dues to pay. He is a native of Detroit, Michigan. For those of you that don’t know, places like Detroit have been discarded by the US economy. Now they resemble a mix of movies like ‘Escape from New York’, and ‘Children of Men.’

Tee Grizzley was able to transcend his surroundings to a greater degree than most. Although he was convicted of robberies in both Michigan and Kentucky, he has gotten past a rough patch in his life.

He was released from prison in 2016, but he has been on parole until recently. This made putting a lot of time into recording difficult. It also severely limited his ability to do shows for his growing fan base. Now Tee Grizzley is off parole, and has been granted a US passport!

Tee Grizzley Is Going International

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Tee Grizzley mused that:

“There was a time when I couldn’t get booked in my city,”

Today he is getting invitations from all over the world. Tee Grizzley has the ability to travel, and give his fans what they’ve been waiting years to experience.

There does seem to be a rising tide of interest in Tee Grizzley’s music from far-flung locations. According to him:

“I can go to other places and touch base with my fans. I’m excited to go to the places that hurried up and booked me! I feel like that’s where the fanbases are at China, Dubai, Paris, Australia.”

The internet and digital recording technology have created opportunities for musicians that simply didn’t exist a generation ago. As Tee Grizzley pointed out:

“People don’t make it out of Detroit. Labels don’t come to Detroit and get people. Or they wasn’t before I came along.”

Well, don’t tell Eminem that!

Now it doesn’t really matter if a label wants to back an artist.

Pretty much anyone can record great sounding audio with a small amount of equipment, and distribution is simple with platforms like YouTube or Spotify. This changes that game for music and is a big part of why talented artists like Tee Grizzley were able to beat the odds.

Being Positive Helps Anyone

Tee Grizzley made it a point of saying that his friendship with Chance the Rapper is about more than music.

He told Rolling Stone that:

“We linked up just on some cool stuff; he was a real positive guy. He’s like a big brother. I feel like Chance is a positive dude and I be needing that because I’m around so much negativity.”

Most successful people will be glad to share the secret that positivity is a big part of getting ahead. Negativity won’t help get things done, which is how almost every business makes money. A positive attitude also means better performance, and a greater degree of resiliency when setbacks do happen.

Tee Grizzley seems to be turning a corner in his career. Now that he has the time and freedom to develop his music, his earning power should rise. Paying your dues is never easy, but once they are out of the way, amazing things are possible!

UK Man Makes #FraudBae Song to Celebrate Stealing His Ex-Girl’s Money

In a shocking fraud attempt that can only be described as despicable, UK man Michael Fehsenfeld not only stole money from his girlfriend to fund a trip to Paris with another gal but also made a song about it on YouTube called #FraudBae.

The song had gained approximately 68,000 views on YouTube over the past few days but has now been flagged and removed for copyright violations. The only place you can now hear the song is on reaction videos from other YouTubers.

What’s the Lowdown?

When 29-year-old London-native Angel Exford went to the police to inform them that her former boyfriend Michael Fehsenfeld had audaciously stolen her money to take his new woman to Paris for a romantic getaway, little did he know he would be apprehended at the airport.

When breaking down the facts, the word ‘stolen’ is probably harsh but fair. But the word fraud is definitely closer to the truth.

Exford claims to have given then-boyfriend Fehsenfeld her bank card to pay a bill when they were out drinking, which he then claimed to have lost along with his wallet. However, the night after, she caught him on Snapchat out on the town even though he was supposedly penniless and proceeded to break-up with him.

A month later, everything escalated out of control. Exford noticed that $1,300 had been spent from her card on plane tickets, flowers, and hotels.

Exford’s friends, along with the police, surprisingly turned up at Gatwick Airport on October 5 to face Fehsenfeld about the allegations. Fehsenfeld was arrested and charged with fraud and received a 26-week suspended sentence and was given 150-hours of community service.

The Making of #FraudBae

Any decent human being would’ve fallen to their knees to repent their sins and offer total contrition for their scandalous acts. Is that what Michael Fehsenfeld did? Hell no! He made a rap song called #FraudBae on YouTube to brag about his fraudulent activities.

During the original case, Angel Exford, who is also a dental hygienist, used the tag #FraudBae to shame her ex-boyfriend. However, her ex-bae then used the hashtag against her in snide fashion as the name for the song.

It really is a despicable way of conducting yourself, but when you see the video, you can’t help but laugh at the scoundrel’s audacity. And he has decent mic skills to be fair.

But it’s difficult to praise someone who steals from another person, no matter how solid the bars he spits. Karma will no doubt catch up to Fehsenfeld. The universe has a funny way of straightening things out.

Big Stock Gains Could be Found in Mineral Exploration

Speculation on the commodities market has been overwhelmed in past years by technology stocks and cryptocurrency trading and investment. Now, recent gains for small mineral exploration companies and the regaining popularity of gold mean both are options not be overlooked.

Peel Mining Ltd, an Australian mineral exploration company that searches for deposits of precious, base, and specialty metals saw a 40% rise in its share price on Thursday after reporting finds of rich zinc and lead deposits, alongside gold, silver, and copper.

Peel Mining Ltd Share Price Source: Google

Peel’s managing director, Rob Tyson described the find as:

“Awe inspiring.”

Experts predict that successes like that of Peel today might not be isolated incidents as mineral exploration is seeing a massive injection of budget capital in the past year. This means funds for exploration projects.

Mineral Exploration Could Be Accelerating

S&P Global Market Intelligence this week reported company budgets for non-ferrous metal, including copper, zinc, and nickel, exploration have risen 19% in 2018 to over $10 billion. The number of active small mineral exploration companies has also risen globally by 8% marking the first increase since 2012.

Geologist Tim Treadgold comments:

“The more dollars that go into the ground in the search of new deposits the greater the chance of success, and a result like enjoyed by Peel.”

Prices of metals like zinc and copper have also risen after recent slumps. The value of Zinc hit lows in 2015 but has risen steadily in 2018, though dipping slightly recently. Zinc is used widely in the manufacture of consumer products including pharmaceuticals, batteries, and electrical products.

Gold prices have also seen a recovery across October and early November 2018 compared to a slump in August 2018. Retail sales of gold have increased more than analysts predicted and the price of gold is hovering at a trading support level of $1,200.

Gold’s success could be fuelled by fears of recession and falling stock and share values, both an indication of investors seeking safer havens for their money. Most recently momentum has stepped back slightly as investors focus on the US dollar.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Becomes Latest Crypto Billionaire

The cryptocurrency market, it seems, is still a lucrative one for some–even despite the almost year-long bear market and the recent crash that reduced the crypto market cap to below $200 billion for the first time.

Owners and CEOs of some cryptocurrency businesses (most notably, exchanges) have still made a profit despite the harsh conditions. And the latest of these visionaries to be smiling is Brian Armstrong.

The 35-year-old graduate of Rice University currently serves as co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States.

With the company recently securing a $300 million funding round (which was led by Tiger Global Management), its value has hit an all-time high of $8 billion. This means that Armstrong has joined some of his compatriots in the “two comma club,” with his net worth skyrocketing to $1.3 billion, up from the estimated value between $900 million and $1 billion earlier this year.

Who Is Brian Armstrong?

Born and raised in San Jose, California, Armstrong always lived a comfortable, yet relatively confined life. Both his parents were successful engineers, and they provided him with all he needed while growing up as well as an environment that enhanced his intellect.

However, while he saw the Internet as a tool that could bring about change to society, he always had a feeling that he was too late to play an essential role in the Internet revolution.

When he came across the Bitcoin whitepaper written by Satoshi Nakamoto, Armstrong became increasingly drawn to the idea of a digital currency that was decentralized and beyond the reach of governments and central banking institutions.

He believed in the possibility of a financial system that would eliminate the politics that had undermined the strength, effectiveness, and reliability of the traditional currency and economic systems.

Armstrong eventually left his job at Airbnb to begin working at Coinbase, designing it as a means of allowing people to purchase cryptocurrencies with bank transfers and cards.

While the dip in crypto prices this week will definitely not wipe out Armstrong’s holdings, he will likely feel it a bit.

eToro Publishes Complete Guide to Fintech Trading and Investments

Trading platform eToro and its well-known senior analyst Mati Greenspan has published a comprehensive guide to fintech trading and investments subtitled “Building Wealth in the 21^st Century.”

Founded in 2006 and launching its social investment platform and innovative “Copy Trading” feature in 2010 eToro has seen significant growth to its user base.

By 2013, after a number of million-dollar funding rounds, eToro had 3 million registered users and by the end of 2017, 8 million investors had opened accounts with the platform. In 2016 eToro was tipped as a financial technology company to watch by the Financial Times.

eToro’s trading and investment products cover both stocks and cryptocurrencies combining contract for difference (CFD) derivatives for stocks and shares, with exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and cryptocurrency trading pairs.

The platform offers both new and professional investors an all-in-one route to online investing as well as the ability to view and follow what other investors on the platform are doing to increase their wealth.

Who is Mati Greenspan?

Along with the success of the eToro platform its chief analyst Greenspan has emerged as a key source of knowledge for investors and widely cited by investing and cryptocurrency news outlets, increasing eToro’s reputation in the trading space.

Greenspan’s grandfather was a self-made millionaire and investing was a dinner table topic for the analyst who began paper trading at the age of 13. He became hooked on day trading and says:

“You just have to see the patterns and trends, and when you win the prizes are in real money.”

Greenspan spends his entire life, including his spare time, analyzing these patterns and trends, and is keen to impart his knowledge to less experienced traders and investors:

“The financial sector represents about 10% of the world’s wealth…Why not have it accessible to the average guy?”

The new eToro guide has been co-authored by Sandy Fox, she has 35 years of investing experience and also comes from an investing family.

The Complete Guide to Fintech Trading and Investments

Of course, the eToro guide is written with the eToro platform in mind and as part of eToro’s marketing, but it’s also a useful standalone guide in many respects for non-eToro users and those considering getting into fintech or cryptocurrency investment.

eToro CEO and founder Yoni Assia says:

“We aim to disrupt the traditional trading industry by making online trading and investing available to anyone, anywhere. A key element to achieving this goal is promoting financial literacy.”

The guide begins by giving a history of fintech and introducing the basics of finance and investing.

“Investors know how to use money to make money.”

It covers the importance of research, how to research, and the basics of buying and selling:

“Careful research and preset stop losses can increase the chances for wealth building.”

It then goes into detail on how investors can build their knowledge to make better, informed, investment decisions.

“Smart investors and traders research, understand trends and use calculations to determine the best entry and exit points.”

eToro recommends diversifying across products, methods, and global markets to reduce risk, that way if one segment of your portfolio is struggling due to a market event, other areas should sustain your wealth and reduce the risk of complete losses.

It also recommends building a portfolio tailored to your end goal, whether that is a weekly income, a retirement fund, or simply the joy of beating the market.

“Since every kind of investment carries its own risk, you’ll need to figure out your risk tolerance. This is both an emotional and a financial decision.”

eToro has created a resource that covers the basics and ideologies, then goes in-depth on each type of investment available on the market and their mechanisms. It covers stocks, bonds, ETFs, CFDs, currencies, commodities, and cryptocurrencies as well as short-term and long-term options for investing or trading.

It also covers the eToro concept of social or Copy Trading and the strategies behind “copying” or learning from other market traders.

The guide concludes by summarizing the opportunity for investors the fintech revolution creates and how technology is changing how we think about money and even traditional stocks and shares.

“Even in the new fintech world, there are some constants. Traders need an investment plan and a trading strategy.”

In what is a useful, detailed and well-written resource, eToro warns of the risks and the potential benefits of trading and investing in the fintech markets.

“You can lose your capital. But you may also capture a portion of the vast wealth generated by the financial sector.”

The fintech, tech, and cryptocurrency trading markets are all incredibly volatile right now. Stocks in the big technology companies are rising and falling, global stock markets are fluctuating by the second, and cryptocurrencies have lost value but bulls expect the next boom. It’s this volatility that can give the most gains for savvy traders.

Thinking About Plastic Surgery? Here Are 5 Reasons to Think Again

Most people want to look their best. For celebrities, appearance is even more important. Many famous people turn to plastic surgery as their youthful visage starts to fade, but sometimes things go horribly wrong.

Today, plastic surgery techniques have come a long way from where they were a few decades ago.

Some of the early pioneers of modern plastic surgery cut corners and their patients paid the price. It’s hard to know how to feel about some of these celebrities, most of whom clearly took risks with their bodies for simple vanity.

Here are some of the most dramatic examples of plastic surgery gone terribly wrong. It’s probably OK to feel a little sorry for these celebrities, as some of them didn’t have the easiest lives. They all suffered for beauty, and never got what they paid for.

1. Pete Burns

Pete Burns had a lifelong fascination with plastic surgery, by his own admission. Although he passed away recently, Burns spent most of his later life fighting against lip injections that were a horrendous mistake.

The lead singer and founder of the 80s pop group ‘Dead or Alive’ spent most of his fortune on repairing the lip-job gone rogue, before recovering £450,000 from Dr. Maurizio Viel via an out-of-court settlement.

Dr. Maurizio Viel had injected Pete Burns’ lips with a concoction of his own invention, which ended up being extremely toxic. As the injections spread throughout his face, he developed painful, pus-filled blisters that would explode unexpectedly.

Some of the doctors he saw thought that lip amputation was the only option, but he was able to find an Italian plastic surgeon who saved his face. Eventually, things returned to relative normality for Pete Burns, but he learned a painful lesson about experimental plastic surgeries that cost a fortune.

2. Michael Jackson

Growing up as Joe Jackson’s son in Gary, Indiana probably wasn’t easy.

It wouldn’t do justice to the physical and psychological abuse that Michael Jackson suffered to gloss over the highlights, but this ‘obituary‘ for old Joe from The Guardian does a decent job at listing his catalog of horrors.

Regardless of what ’caused’ Michael to pursue a plastic surgery program that transformed him from a dark-skinned African-American, into a, well, very light-skinned person who could best be described as ‘androgynous’, he certainly did it.

One thing that is probably simple to explain in psychological terms is the nose that Michael ended up with. His father liked to call him “big nose” when he was young, after finding out that Michael was self-conscious about it.

Curiously, Michael was also diagnosed with discoid lupus erythematosus. Dermatologist Richard Stricksaid said that he:

“could see the disease had destroyed nose cartilage, which might have explained some of Michael’s plastic surgery.”

Michael was also severely injured by fire during the production of a 1984 Pepsi commercial, which forced him to receive skin grafts on his face. All that said, he probably did some of that cosmetic surgery for ‘personal’ reasons.

3. Renee Zellweger

Unlike the rest of the people on this list, Renee Zellweger may or may not have been altered surgically for cosmetic reasons. Many people think that she has, and she has been pretty touchy on the subject.

There is irony in the fact that a public personality would be offended by the scrutiny that is sure to come with fame, especially if they make their millions by appearing in feature films.

Renee Zellweger is worth around $60 million USD, and you can guess where she made the money!

So, let’s leave the question of whether or not Renee had cosmetic surgery open, and say that if she did, she was able to afford the best people for the job, and pay them well enough to keep quiet.

4. Joan Van Ark

Nothing lasts forever, except the chemicals that were apparently injected into Joan Van Ark’s face.

To be fair to the actress, she was born in the 1940s and probably hated to see what the ravages of time do to beauty. There is, of course, no way to stop the aging process. She did try, which left her with a face that probably isn’t what she bargained for.

Depending on which celebrity blog one reads, a laundry list of cosmetic procedures is alleged as the reason for Joan’s current appearance. She is also 75 years old, so we should probably cut her some slack.

5. Michaela Romanini

Why do attractive people think that jamming odd substances in their face will make them better looking?

Michaela Romanini was something akin to Italy’s Paris Hilton. Famous for being rich, and well connected to other famous people.

Then she got addicted to collagen injections or something. Whatever she going on in her head had a dramatic effect on her appearance, and now she looks like an extraterrestrial clown.

Finding out exactly what she did to herself is probably difficult, but whatever it was. It didn’t do anything to help her beauty. Hopefully Michaela Romanini’s experience with plastic surgery will act as a warning to other celebrities!
