Born and brought up in Omaha, Nebraska, Buffet made $175 per month by delivering The Washington Post every morning when he was only 16 years old. This income was much more than what most teachers made during those times. A few side gigs like selling collector stamps and used golf balls and buffing cars also helped him build on his earnings. By the age of 16, Warren Buffet made a wealth of $53,000. Harvard Business School rejected him When he applied to the Harvard Business School after passing out from the University of Nebraska, he was rejected. The school that would select him to join the university told Buffet, “Forget it. You’re not going to Harvard.” Later he funnily describes how he got an entry into the Columbia Business School.

The results proved that Kejriwal chose well. Who is Prashant Kishor and what shaped him as a successful election strategist is an interesting story. Kishor rose to fame after 2014 lok sabha elections when he managed Narendra Modi’s election campaign and steered it towards a historic victory. Prashant Kishor’s background Kishor, who was born in 1977, worked as a public health specialist at the UN, before he jumped into Indian political scene. He planned election strategies for both BJP and Congress. His first ever major political campaign in 2011 when he helped Narendra Modi win Gujarat assembly’s elections for the third time in 2012. Nevertheless, the mission that secured him immense popularity and led him to lead BJP’s election campaign during 2014 elections. That too was a historic win for Modi. Later, Kishor moved away from Modi and initiated a political outfit called Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC). Prashant Kishor coordinating some election campaigns so far Nitish Kumar hired Kishor to shape the party’s strategies during 2015 Bihar assembly elections when he helped him become the state chief minister for the third time. It was said Kishor decided the resource allocation, strategies and alliances of the party. That relationship soured in January 2020 and he was expelled from the Janata Dal (U) party. This was after he criticized Kumar, the party head’s stand in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act (2019). In 2017 Punjab assembly elections, Prashant Kishor helped the Congress candidate Amarinder Singh win the elections and become the CM after the party had lost two consecutive elections in the state. He was also employed by the Congress party for UP election campaign in 2017. This time he had failed but he blamed Rahul Gandhi’s failing image for it. In 2019, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy designated Kishor’s organization as his campaign partner and his party won 151 out of 175 seats. On February 2020, the DMK chief M K Stalin declared that Prashant Kishor had been signed up as the election strategist for the party for assembly elections in 2021. Political circles say that he would now focus on the Bihar and Bengal elections next.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>The world wastes an estimated&#xa0;<a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/06/26-trillion-pounds-of-garbage-where-does-the-worlds-trash-go/258234/">2.7 trillion pounds</a>&#xa0;of food each year.&#xa0;That's&#xa0;a&#xa0;third of the total&#xa0;food we produce - and could be enough to feed <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/03/global-food-waste-statistics/">2 billion people</a>.Much of&#xa0;this waste originates&#xa0;from cafés, restaurants, and hotels, which throw out unsold food.A new app called <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/food-waste-app-too-good-to-go-3-2016-8">BuffetGo</a>&#xa0;aims to put a dent in that waste. Available in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Finland, and Denmark, it&#xa0;connects users with local restaurants and hotels that want to sell perfectly good leftover buffet food.The app, which launched in 2014 in Finland, offers food for 90% cheaper than the original price, founder&#xa0;Emil Lolby tells Business Insider.Once you sign up, you&#xa0;can&#xa0;browse the list of buffet locations and select which one you want to order from. Then you pay for the food - all the items are priced between $2 and $6 - and visit the restaurant at the end of the lunch or dinner shift to&#xa0;pick it up.&#xa0;From Chinese to Italian food, there are all types of buffets on there.One buffet called Cafe Exchange in NYC, for example, is <a href="http://www.buffet-go.com/collections/frontpage/products/cafe-exchange?variant=9897577989">selling</a>&#xa0;pasta, sushi, and salad&#xa0;for just $3. Regular price:&#xa0;$20. Another in San Diego called Yummy Buffet&#xa0;is <a href="http://www.buffet-go.com/collections/frontpage/products/yummi-buffet?variant=18826979397">offering</a>&#xa0;Chinese food that's normally $14.99 for $4.&#xa0;Lolby&#xa0;says savings average about&#xa0;75-90% compared to the original buffet prices.&#xa0;You can think of the app as a kind of Seamless for food waste - except that you&#xa0;have to&#xa0;pick up the meal. The buffet's staff will give you a to-go box, which you fill up with as much food as will fit in there and then leave.Most buffet-style restaurants replenish the food every hour, so the last hour of the day is often when food goes uneaten,&#xa0;Lolby says."The&#xa0;foods prepared in the last hour are perfectly fresh and untouched but sadly due to restaurant regulations, unsold food must be thrown out," he says.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Last year, BuffetGo expanded to Denmark, and in late September 2016, it came to the US.Since the app is new to the US, only a few dozen buffets are currently available nationwide, but Lolby says the team will add 45 new locations by the end of October. In early 2017, it will further expand to Turkey and Spain.The app&#xa0;looks like a win for the restaurants and hotels (since they&#xa0;earn money for surplus food they'd otherwise throw away) and customers (who want cheap food). <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/food-waste-app-too-good-to-go-3-2016-8">A similar UK-based app</a> called Too Good to Go&#xa0;was also built on that&#xa0;idea, except users order from non-buffet&#xa0;restaurants.Both&#xa0;apps could eventually&#xa0;decrease the amount of food dumped&#xa0;in landfills.&#xa0;In the UK, about <a href="http://www.wrap.org.uk/content/food-waste-hospitality-and-food-service-sector-0">41%</a> of all&#xa0;food waste comes from restaurants and pubs.&#xa0;Food waste from American restaurants makes up <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/11/27/165907972/for-restaurants-food-waste-is-seen-as-low-priority">15%</a>&#xa0;of all the food that ends up in landfills (about&#xa0;<a href="http://www.alternet.org/food/how-chefs-are-getting-creative-about-reducing-restaurant-food-waste">$1.6 billion</a> worth).&#xa0;That level of excess&#xa0;is harmful to&#xa0;the environment, because it means&#xa0;<a href="http://www.nature.com/news/one-third-of-our-greenhouse-gas-emissions-come-from-agriculture-1.11708">we're&#xa0;expending CO2</a>&#xa0;and&#xa0;<a href="http://www.greenfacts.org/en/food-wastage/">degrading farmland</a>&#xa0;to produce&#xa0;food we're not even eating.BuffetGo&#xa0;seems like a clever way to cut down on that waste. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/googles-pixel-companys-first-smartphone-2016-10">Google just unveiled the Pixel - its first smartphone</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="cyODc5NjE6M7DSUBwGGQNQMYwTka5Dks" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

The <keyword id="567660" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon-rainforest">Amazon rainforest</keyword> is unarguably one of the mysteries and wonders of nature. Spanning over an area of 2.1 million square miles, this is the largest broadleaf rainforest of the world. Located in South America, the Amazon rainforest also stretches into countries including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, <keyword id="15385" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Colombia">Colombia</keyword>, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Here are some amazing facts about Amazon Rainforest that you might not have known. Amazon River In the north of the Amazon rainforest runs the Amazon River. This is actually a river system that has a network of several hundreds of waterways that stretch to a distance of about 6,992 km. a number of scientists believe that Amazon is the second longest river on the earth after the River Nile. In terms of the volume of water contained, Amazon River is the clear champion of all Rivers since it carries more water than the waters of the rivers Mississippi, Nile, and <keyword id="341048" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yangtze">Yangtze</keyword> combined. An awesome study shows that during every second, the Amazon River delivers 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean. The name Amazon The name Amazon was coined by the Spanish explorer Francisco Orellana following the event when he was attacked by a band of female warriors called as theIcamiabas, translated as 'women without husbands'. Francisco Orellana compared them to the Amazons figuring in the Greek mythology. The massive home to tribal population More than 500 indigenous Amerindian tribes inhabit the Amazon rainforest. It is said that more than 50 of these tribes never had any contact with the external world. The most versatile and the biggest eco-system on the land Amazon’s eco-system is very rich. It is a home to over 40,000 plant species, 3,000 kinds of fish, 430 types of mammals, 1,300 bird species, and an awesome number of 2.5 million types of insects. This forest is also the home to some of the most awesome and deadly creatures on the earth like electric eels, poison dart frogs, jaguars, flesh eating piranhas and some seriously poisonous snakes. Makes our lives on the earth possible Amazon rainforest produces 20% of the world’s oxygen. Since Amazon rain forest makes up 40% of the world’s tropical forest cover and produces the most significant quantity of oxygen, it is rightly described as the lungs of the earth. What the forest produces More than 25% of the western pharmaceuticals are manufactured from the ingredients sourced from Amazon rainforests. Nevertheless, less than 1% of the trees and plants in this forest has ever been tested by the scientists. The forest houses more than 3,000 types of fruit trees. The world consumes not more than 200 of them. More than 80% of the food products of the world has its origin in Amazon rainforest. The alarming concern Due to deforestation, we are losing 1.5 acres of Amazon forest with every passing second. Every day, about 137 species are becoming extinct. Given this rate of destruction, it is for sure that the complete rainforest of Amazon will disappear in about 40 years if the deforestation is not stopped.
