Authorities arrested a man Wednesday whom federal prosecutors accuse of running a US$45mil (RM198mil) scam that netted him 39 Teslas and allegedly included false claims that a billionaire electric car company founder — likely Tesla CEO Elon Musk — was involved in the investment scheme. In a federal grand jury indictment unsealed Wednesday, Neil Suresh Chandran, 50, is alleged to have defrauded more than 10,000 victims since June 2018 by claiming that at least one of his five cryptocurrency and virtual-reality companies “was about to be purchased by a consortium of wealthy buyers and thereby yield his investors extremely high returns.” The indictment cites an alleged email from Chandran claiming an US$88,000 (RM388,080) investment would deliver a US$2 trillion (RM8.82 trillion) return. The alleged fraud seemingly involved claims about Musk, whom the indictment describes as “Billionaire 2” and “founder and CEO of an electric car company,” and also apparently about Amazon executive … [Read more...] about Man accused of buying 39 Teslas via US$45 million scam with apparent false ties to Elon Musk

It only took one photo of Ryan Gosling as Ken to resurrect the himbo from his ashes, like a phoenix with a waxed and well-oiled chest. A male version of the bimbo – revered more for his physical attributes than his intellectual qualities – the himbo is an amalgamation of stereotypes of all kinds, which nevertheless seek to deconstruct the many cliches that typically surround masculinity. Gosling kitted out as Ken for the new Barbie film is indeed a sight to behold! The first picture unveiled on social networks left no one indifferent. It shows the Canadian actor as we have never seen him before, with platinum blond hair and ripped muscles, bare-chested (tanned and oiled, of course), and wearing a sleeveless denim shirt with a hint of visible underwear printed with his own name. A sort of walking stereotype, posing against the pillars of his candy pink villa.

Innovation is critical for a company's growth and survival, especially as technology makes it easier to run and operate a competitive business; but achieving innovation requires making it a consistent priority. Of course, there can be external factors-poor timing, a lack of resources, other more pressing priorities-but for the most part, what keeps us from attempting innovation every day comes from within. Biases, resistance to change, and ego can undermine efforts to innovate, but by recognizing these roadblocks and how they affect us, we can overcome them. Some of our biases keep us from innovative thought and problem-solving. Innovation can come from reimagining a new purpose for an old product or design, but someone's functional fixedness bias might prevent them from recognizing an object's multiple functions. An information technology (IT) team attempting to improve a client application might only focus on addressing technical issues or improving the user … [Read more...] about Don’t Let These Roadblocks to Innovation Stop You

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Ohio’s six-week ban on abortion will remain in effect for now, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, as abortion providers file a string of lawsuits aiming to block state-level bans that took effect following the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade—and have been successful in other state courts. Key Facts The Ohio Supreme Court rejected a request by abortion providers to block the law as a lawsuit against it moved forward, after courts let the six-week ban take effect hours after Roe v. Wade was overturned June 24. Four states— Louisiana , Kentucky , Utah and Texas —have now had statewide abortion bans blocked in state court after abortion providers challenged them under state law, which have allowed abortions to resume in those states. Louisiana was the first state to have its abortion trigger laws blocked on Monday—at least until a hearing on July 8—after abortion providers … [Read more...] about Ohio Supreme Court Lets Abortion Ban Stand—Here’s Where State Lawsuits Stand Now

Regardless of whether you believe that cryptocurrencies will play a role in the future of finance, the recent collapse in price for some crypto assets offers important lessons for investors. This is particularly true for younger investors who, according to media reports, may have borne the brunt of these losses. Diversify. You’ve likely heard this time and time again, but the foundation of any prudent investment portfolio is proper risk management. One aspect of risk management is diversification. Another element of risk management is proper sizing of positions – don’t put a material percentage of your investable assets in any one investment. While some crypto assets may have become worthless, if you had capped the size of the investment and were properly diversified, the collapse of one holding shouldn’t create a big challenge. For instance, if you had 1% of your assets in a crypto lending platform that evaporated, it would be disappointing but should not be life-altering. With … [Read more...] about Road to Retirement: Crypto crash offers lessons for investors

Our greatest hope — for ourselves and our loved ones — is to live in a manner worthy of our human dignity, and to spend our final days in peace and comfort. For more than three decades, InnovAge has helped redefine aging in Colorado to enable our most frail and elderly to age in place, independently, in their own homes with their families and not in nursing homes.

In Colorado alone, we expect a 150 percent increase in seniors over the age of 65. Recently, the Center for Medicare … [Read more...] about Guest Commentary: InnovAge’s conversion is in public’s interest

At 1:05 a.m. on a crisp February morning in Boulder, 52-year-old Sheila Luna laid her head back on the hospital bed in her moonlit living room, closed her eyes and took her last breath. Her death did not come without warning. Ever since the day 14 months earlier when doctors diagnosed her with late-stage colon cancer, Sheila and her husband Charles had been planning for what would happen next. A quiet and pragmatic scientist who shifted to medical herbalism late in her career, Sheila had always felt at peace forging through the wilderness with a backpack or sitting cross-legged on a rock by a stream. In death, the last thing she wanted was to pollute the ground with chemically treated casket wood or foul the air with toxic cremation emissions. Charles, a quick-witted marketing exec, had loved her desperately from the moment they met in college 27 years earlier, through their adventures across 19 countries and the raising of their two daughters. To him, the thought of handing her … [Read more...] about With water cremation, body composting and open-air pyres, Coloradans are pioneering a new kind of death care
