What to Consider Before Getting a Second Credit Card

1 min read

Life presents us with a series of life-altering decisions. Should we search for a new job? Are we ready for marriage and children? Is getting a second credit card a good idea? Okay, maybe that last one isn’t in the same category, but it is an issue that requires some thought.

A second credit card means another monthly payment. Applying for one will have an effect on your credit score. There’s also the possibility that your spending could become unmanageable, and you’ll start to hear terms like “debt snowball” and “debt avalanche method,” which can sound scary if you don’t know what they are. (They’re ways to pay off your debt, BTW.)

None of this means that getting a second credit card is a bad idea. There are benefits to doing it and good reasons why you’d want to apply for one. In this article, we’ll go over some important … Read the rest

China’s exports rise at robust pace in March, imports growth highest in 4 years

1 min read

BEIJING – China’s exports grew at a robust pace in March in yet another boost to the nation’s economic recovery as global demand picks up amid progress in worldwide COVID-19 vaccination, while import growth surged to the highest in four years.

The data suggests the world’s second largest economy will continue to gather momentum as it emerges from the COVID-19-led slump in early 2020, though a lagging consumer rebound and resurgence in COVID-19 cases in many countries have raised risks for the outlook.

Exports in dollar terms soared 30.6% in March from a year earlier, but at a slower pace from a record 154.9% growth in February. The analysts polled by Reuters have forecast a 35.5% jump in shipments.

“Strong foreign demand is likely to be sustained throughout the second quarter as the global economy further recovers,” said Nie Wen, analyst at Nie Wen, economist at Hwabao Trust.

Quitting is Hard, Let CBD Help

1 min read

We know that quitting an addiction to tobacco and nicotine is difficult. However, researchers believe that CBD may be the key to breaking the habit permanently. Millions try every year to kick cigarettes to the curb, but only six percent seem to find success. Mental addiction is the hardest aspect to overcome, and non-tobacco pouches or other nicotine replacement therapy only treat the physical dependence. CBD works on retraining your brain, so you can focus on battling the physical facet.

How CBD Helps

The CDC has announced that more Americans are addicted to tobacco above any other drug, including cocaine. Millions of dollars are poured into research and products every year to find an end to this problem, as it is the number one cause of preventable deaths. Researchers ran a week-long experiment in 2013 to determine if there was any proof to claims regarding CBD helping prevent mental addiction. … Read the rest

WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday the United States is concerned about China’s aggressive actions against Taiwan and warned it would be a “serious mistake” for anyone to try to change the status quo in the Western Pacific by force.

Beijing on Thursday blamed the United States for tensions after a US warship sailed close to Taiwan.

The United States has a longstanding commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to ensure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself and to sustain peace and security in the Western Pacific, Blinken said.

Asked if the United States would respond militarily to a Chinese action in Taiwan, Mr. … Read the rest

Booming market for fake COVID-19 vaccine passports sparks alarm

1 min read

Fake coronavirus vaccine passports are being sold online for “peanuts” in a fast-growing scam that has alarmed authorities as countries bet on the documents to revive travel and their economies, cybersecurity experts said.

From Iceland to Israel, a number of countries have started to lift lockdown restrictions for people who can prove they have been vaccinated—letting them visit leisure venues or cross borders if they show vaccine papers.

“People are trying to circumvent that by creating false documents, essentially putting the lives of others at risk,” Beenu Arora, founder of cyber-intelligence firm Cyble, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an online interview.

“We’ve seen hundreds of websites on the dark web where these documents are being sold … at the price of peanuts,” he said.

The dark web is a part of the internet that lies beyond the reach of search engines, where users are largely anonymous and mainly pay … Read the rest
