The ‘Nigerian Prince’ Scams – Still Around Today

With cryptocurrency fraud and IRS scams making headlines, I had thought Nigerian email schemes were a thing of the past, akin to the bygone days when a scammer might offer to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. So I was surprised to recently come across an article about a 62-year-old Swedish divorcee named Maria Grette. She had set up a dating profile and soon received a message from a 58-year-old Danish man named Johnny who was working as an engineer in the United States. They wrote back and forth, starting chatting on the phone, and a relationship blossomed. Her new love interest had a son who was studying at a university in England, and the man said that he was looking to retire to Sweden. They made arrangements for a trip to meet in person there. However, before heading to Europe, Johnny n...

Kate Middleton And Prince William – Are They Compatible?

Is Kate Middleton compatible with Prince William? Could their numerology and astrology give us some insight into why their relationship is on and off? Numerology - Kate Middleton - 9th January 1982 / Prince William - 21st June 1982 Chart: Kate | William - - - - 9 | - - 6 - 9 2 - - - 8 | 2 - - - 8 11 - - - | 11 - - - Life path 30/3 and Life path 29/11 - At first glance, their charts look similar, the only difference being the 6 in William's numbers which is missing from Kate's.

How Minneapolis made Prince

It’s been almost four years since Prince’s death, but fascination about the artist, the man and his mythology endures. On Jan. 28, Alicia Keys, the Foo Fighters, Usher and several of Prince’s collaborators will be paying tribute to the late musician in a special concert, “Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute to Prince,” in Los Angeles. Prince’s peers, critics and fans are often quick to cite his creativity, versatility and talent. But as a longtime Prince fan who’s also a human geographer, I’ve found myself drawn to the way his hometown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, cultivated his talent. Prince did not come of age in a vacuum.

Prince Had a $300 Million Fortune and No Will: Is All Hell About to Break Loose?

Prince may have been worth upward of $300 million when he died last week, suddenly and most untimely at the age of only 57.And according to his younger sister Tyka Nelson, his closest known survivor, the legendary (and legendarily eccentric) artist did not have a will.That on its own sounds most shocking, a man of his wealth not having every base covered in case anything happened to him. Not to mention, in addition to being a creative visionary, Prince was a shrewd businessman who owned all of his recording and publishing copyrights—an almost unheard-of deal these days—and exercised close control over use of his music and image. He didn't seem like the type of guy who, if you asked him about money, would just say his accountant handled everything. Not that you'd ever ask him about his fina...
