[Not Spam] How You Could Invest $1 in Real Estate ... and Win

China is no longer taking the whole world’s trash, so it can now take care of its own.

Amid a bustling jumble sale in Beijing, one stand attracts more attention than others. Behind the tabletop display of metal razors with replaceable blades, metal straws and canvas bags, Carrie Yu, the stand’s owner, talks passionately about the benefits of a zero-waste lifestyle with the customers browsing the products on offer. Her company, the Bulk House, is China’s first zero-waste brand.

China has long been seen as the villain in the story of global efforts to cut plastic pollution. Plastic bags are handed out with reckless abandon in shops in China. The country, until recently, bought 45 percent of the world’s plastic waste despite having no infrastructure in place to effectively process it. Campaigners like Yu, however, are beginning to encourage Chinese consumers to take a more environmentally responsible approach to their purchasing habits.

Scott Picken wants the 99 percent to have the same investment tricks as those at the top.

Shortly after the 2008 financial crash, Scott Picken was struck by the incredible opportunities available to property investors in London. One building in particular — “48 units, 12 percent net return” — was “an absolute no-brainer.” With one caveat: He needed to come up with 10 million British pounds (roughly $15 million at the time). Picken, a South African who already had a flourishing international real estate business with 2,500 clients, thought rustling up the cash would be easy. It was actually “bloody impossible,” he says. Out of this disappointment was born the global real estate marketplace Wealth Migrate.

Many pro-life advocates in the U.S. define abortion as murder. So should that mean miscarriage constitutes involuntary manslaughter?

The right to seek an abortion is under attack nationwide. In Indiana, the procedure can only be performed in the first trimester of pregnancy, must be recommended by a doctor and can only happen in a hospital or licensed surgical center. Some lawmakers continue to push for harsher restrictions. Although his efforts have failed thus far, for example, Indiana state Rep. Curt Nisly, a Republican, has filed legislation to ban abortion in the state three years in a row since 2015. Other states, including Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama, have pushed for similar restrictions. In February, the Missouri House passed a bill that would outlaw most abortions in the state if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
