India 'To Overtake China's Population By 2022' - UN

Graph showing population projections

A new UN study of global population trends predicts that India will overtake China to become the world's most populous nation by 2022.
The report also says that Nigeria will replace the US as the world's third most populous country by around 2050.
Africa is expected to account for more than half of the world's population growth over the next 35 years.
The current world population of 7.3 billion will reach 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, it predicts.
The new projection has India overtaking China's population six years earlier than previously predicted.
The reports says half of the world's population growth between 2015 and 2050 is expected to be concentrated in nine countries: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, the United States, Indonesia and Uganda.
The populations of 28 African countries are projected to more than double, and by 2100, 10 African countries are projected to have increased by at least a factor of five.
"The concentration of population growth in the poorest countries presents its own set of challenges, making it more difficult to eradicate poverty and inequality, to combat hunger and malnutrition," said John Wilmoth, Director of the UN's Population Division.

Gmail's 'Undo Send' Option Officially Rolled Out By Google

Gmail Undo Send feature inside of Settings / Credit: Google

Every one of us has experienced an email blunder at some point whether it was accidentally hitting reply to all, sending a message to the wrong person or forgetting to attach a file. For example, I sent a cover letter to the wrong recruiter back when I was in college – which is likely one of the reasons why I did not hear back from that company. Now Gmail has rolled out a feature that lets you recall a message within 30 seconds of it being sent. Gmail originally launched the “Undo Send” feature in March 2009, but it was hidden as an experimental “Labs” feature.
“Previously a popular feature in Gmail Labs, and recently added to Inbox by Gmail, today we’re adding ‘Undo Send’ as a formal setting in Gmail on the web,” said Google in an announcement. Inbox is a mobile app for iOS and Android that keeps your email organized by highlighting important information and bundling similar messages.
In the web-based version of Gmail, you can activate the “Undo Send” option by tapping on the gear icon at the top right and selecting “Settings” from the drop-down menu. Under the general settings, make sure that ”Enable Undo Send” is check-marked. You will notice that the number of seconds can be changed between 5, 10, 20 or 30. I recommend setting up “Undo Send” for 30 seconds because 5 seconds does not seem like enough time. The “Undo Send” feature will remain activated for your account if you switched it on while it was still an experiment.

Some of the other Gmail features available through “Labs” includes an Unread message icon, a Google GOOGL -3.07% Calendar widget, custom keyboard shortcuts and Google Maps previews inside of messages. To test out some of those features, you have to manually enable each one and hit “Save Changes” at the bottom of the Gmail Labs website.
To recall a message after enabling the “Undo Send” feature, you simply have click on the “Undo Send” text at the top of the Gmail website once the email is sent. The “Undo Send” option will disappear even if you click on a link within Gmail before the recall time expires so use this feature with caution. “Undo Send” may not work if you are experiencing connection issues too. Here is what the “Undo Send” text looks like:
Unfortunately, “Undo Send” is not available for the Gmail mobile app. But Mashable reported Gmail is planning to roll out the “Undo Send” feature for the mobile app eventually.

Nigeria's Forex Reserve Rise 5.6% Month-on-month By July 22



Nigeria's foreign exchange reserves rose $30.69 billion by July 22, up 5.6 percent from $29.03 billion a month earlier, latest data from the central bank.

However, the forex reserves of Africa's top crude exporter were down20.9 percent from $$38.8 billion a year ago.

The growth in reserves for the month was attributed to efforts of the present government to plug leakage and demand management by the central bank.

The central bank restricted access to foreign exchange by last month and introduced tight control of the foreign exchange market to curb speculation and conserves forex reserves.

World's First Malaria Vaccine Approved



The world’s first malaria vaccine has received a green light from European drugs regulators who recommended it should be licensed for use in babies in Africa who are at risk of the mosquito-borne disease.

The shot, called RTS,S or Mosquirix, would be the first licensed human vaccine against a parasitic disease and could help prevent millions of cases of malaria in countries that use it.

The vaccine was developed by British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline in partnership with the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative,

Recommendations for a drug licence made by the European Medicines Agency are normally endorsed by the European Commission within a couple of months.

Mosquirix, also part-funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will also now be assessed by the World Health Organisation, which has promised to give its guidance on when and where it should be used before the end of this year.

Malaria killed an estimated 584,000 people in 2013, the vast majority of them in sub-Saharan Africa.

More than 80 percent of malaria deaths are in children under the age of five.

Andrew Witty, GSK’s chief executive, said EMA’s positive recommendation was a further important step towards making the world’s first malaria vaccine available for young children.

“While RTS,S on its own is not the complete answer to malaria, its use alongside those interventions currently available such as bed nets and insecticides would provide a very meaningful contribution to controlling the impact of malaria on children in those African communities that need it the most,” he said in a statement.

Invest Like a Multi Billionaire By Tony Robbins



“superficially, i think it looks like entrepreneurs have a high tolerance for risk. but one of the most important phrases in my life is ‘protect the downside.’” – richard branson
many people within the investment world will tell you that you have to risk a lot to make a lot. or even that the only way to become financially free is to take great risks! but savvy investors like kyle bass and paul tudor jones use ratios of 6:1 and 5:1 respectively – risking a little to leverage a lot. this is called asymmetrical risk/reward. 
remember warren buffett’s top two rules of investing? rule 1: don’t lose money! rule 2: see rule number 1. these money masters understand that losing money is the quickest way to financial defeat because it takes you twice as long to get back to where you started. 
so, defy conventional wisdom and look for small investments to return disproportionate rewards.
