What I have learned today [2015/6/26]

1. Swedish Fund decreases equity. I suppose this is smart with Greece and some kind of crisis that might happen but I am not sure if too active management is good for long term performance, specially for sovereign funds.

2. Kazakhstan produces 40% of uranium worldwide.

3. There are more roll-up than expected.

4. Making money using photos is quite challenging but once you put it online, it will work for you. Still learning the trade~

5. Elevate is well made app because it really tries to engage you to play the game and learn.

Sleeping beauty....nope...just Radon poisoning

Wow...So there was a sleeping sickness going around in a remote village in Kazakhstan.

And it is Radon poisoning from uranium from old mines!!  It's a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas.

And it causes cancer, the second most frequent cause of lung cancer.

First, reading this article made me pray for the village in Kazakhstan. I really hope they get better.

Second, the soviets really didn't care much about people or the environment, as this incidence shows. Also, now we have more mystery craters popping in Siberia releasing gas, which we have no idea why.

Third, I was thankful that I don't have any radioactive gas coming from the ground. We have pollution in LA but not radioactive gas...at least not yet.

Overall, let us be thankful for everything and help others who really need help.
