A motorcycle gang grabbed £2 million of jewels from an exclusive London store in just 39 seconds in a raid captured in dramatic detail on CCTV.

Six robbers on three motorcycles roared up the pavement to Mozafarian jewellers opposite Harrods in Knightsbridge.

One of the robbers smashed open the glass door with a sledgehammer before the gang, all wearing crash helmets, stormed in and smashed open display cabinets.

The haul of gems included a £500,000 diamond necklace. However, the robbers were unable to break their way into one display case containing further £3 million of gems.

Pouya Nikomagham, a sales assistant at Mozafarian, said that the highly organised gang members did not say a word as they raided the store.

“They were very professional, they knew what they were doing and where to go,” said Mr Nikomagham.

There have been 70 or so heists this year in London.

Like Snoop Dogg once said: “London, is live, Yo!”

Miss Venezuela, Stefania Fernandez, was crowned Miss Universe 2009 on Sunday, giving her country its sixth title in the international beauty pageant.

Fernandez, an 18-year-old brunette, became the 58th winner of the title in a show broadcast live around the world from the Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas.

It was the second consecutive year that a contestant from the oil-producing South American country, which is famous for its beauty queens, won the Miss Universe title.

Venezuela had produced five previous winners.

Fernandez was selected out of five finalists chosen from the total field of 83 contestants.

The first runner-up this year was Miss Dominican Republic, Ada Aimee de la Cruz.

The rest of the top five were from Australia, Puerto Rico, and Kosovo.

Fernandez received the Miss Universe crown from last year’s winner, also a Venezuelan, Dayana Mendoza.

Lifestyle Design and Location Independence

Lifestyle Design and Location Independence

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Good article from Muse Life, by David Walsh about how Location Independence is only half the battle. Here are some highlights:

Everything ahead is based on personal experience. Though it’s bursting at the seams with judgement and condescending criticism, it’s also my own massive ego-check after rugged experimentation. It’s my realization that location independence is simply not enough and move back to the drawing board with unshakeable resolve for more.

1) Mobility is not Independence: Stop blurring the lines.

Mobility is as admirable a start as it is pathetic a finish. It is not wrong – it’s simply incomplete. Wireless isn’t freedom – it’s an extended leash. Call it whatever you want – it’s glorified telecommuting giving you an ever-greater sense of how big a world it is that you’re missing.

2) Perpetuation is not Elimination: Stop whoring your time for mobility. You deserve both.

When did we stop demanding time and mobility? Nearly half of all location independents work 40-50 hours a week. That’s a ridiculous number of people working absurd hours.

3) Mobility is not Fulfilling

A raw sampling of the work-supported location independent lifestyle…

Stockholm: After a flirtatious exchange with two of the most stunning blonde girls you’ve ever laid eyes upon, you’re unable to accept their invitation to their normally all-girls fondue pajama party, due to your extended client work review session that evening. For the first time ever, you actually feel a dream die.

4) Logistics is not Ingenuity: Stop saying anyone can do it.

Even very smart people work constantly from one place. Slightly smarter people can travel the world working constantly from any place. The ingenious ones eliminate non-passionate work entirely to make room for experience.

5) Enabling Passion is not Passion: Stop lying to yourself about loving what you do

Just because you’re doing something from a bungalow in Thailand doesn’t make it something you love. You just love that it lets you chill in a bungalow in Thailand. You would never rationalize like that if you were doing it from a dank Scranton office park.

Continue

Really made me re-think some things.

Paulie Malignaggi gets Hooked in Decision with Juan Diaz

Paulie Malignaggi gets Hooked in Decision with Juan Diaz

Boxer Paulie Malignaggi was nearly apoplectic after losing a controversial decision to Juan Diaz Saturday night at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

After a terrible performance against Ricky Hatton last year, Brooklyn’s Malignaggi redeemed himself with a tactful, hard-fought effort against Diaz that should have earned him a victory — or at least a moral victory in a close loss. Instead, fighting in Diaz’s hometown, Malignaggi dropped a unanimous decision by a wide margin that should call into question the integrity of the judging and further alienate fans from the sport.

David Sutherland (116-112), Raul Caiz (115-113) and Gale Van Hoy (118-110) all scored it for Diaz in a junior welterweight bout (at a catch weight of 138.5) for the vacant NABO junior welterweight title.

The G Manifesto scored it 115-113 for Malignaggi.

Malignaggi landed 191 punches to Diaz’s 178, according to official punch stats.

In his post-fight interview with HBO’s Max Kellerman, Malignaggi skewered Houston and its treatment of visiting fighters.

“I had to deal with a lot of politics,” Malignaggi said, his voice rising with emotion. “That was ridiculous. I knew I was going to have to deal with this…I’m telling you, this state never gives a fair shake to anyone coming to this state to fight hometown fighters. It never happens.”

When asked about a possible rematch with Diaz, he said: “You know I ain’t getting a rematch, this is boxing; boxing is full of [expletive], I used to love this sport. I cannot stand doing this. The only reason I do this is because it gives me a good payday.”

Like Max Kellerman said after the fight, the market spoke.

There is no way a Brooklyn Italian is going to get a fair shake against a Mexican-American fighter in Houston.

Happens all the time. Won’t be the last.

Wasn’t even a bad example of it.

See Oscar De La Hoya VS Pernell Whitaker again.

But Malignaggi should have known this and won by a huge margin.

The Top Ten Online Hustles

The Top Ten Online Hustles

“Here are the top ten scams that are currently trying to relieve unsuspecting consumers of their hard-earned money. These have been categorised into two groups. The first five are those that try and fool people into sending money directly to the bad guys – pretending to be in trouble, a job offer, a favour etc known as 419 or advance fee fraud.

“The second five detail scams whose purpose is to steal personal credentials and computer data to convince the bank to send money. Here, at least, most banks will return the lost funds to consumers unless the bank can prove they were reckless.”

1. Social Networking scams
Fraudsters hack a social networking account, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or Bebo, and then contact friends and family of claiming that they are in trouble and need money to be sent immediately to a specified address.

2. Prediction scams
This scam arrives in the form of an e-mail that provides the results of a football game taking place the following day, at no cost. The next day the receiver discovers that the prediction is true. Over the next couple of weeks further e-mails are sent providing results that also turn out to be correct.

Following a number of e-mails, another one is sent offering the recipient the chance to buy the results of future games for a hefty sum. The trick is that most of the people who received e-mails would have had a wrong result and so fallen out of the process. But statistically, a small proportion of all the people involved would have received e-mails with the correct results each time.

3. Economy-related scams
Prying on those in financial trouble, these scams can be performed via internet, telephone or post and include a range of financial help and offers such as loan and debt consolidation, fix-your-credit-rating, repossession assistance, phoney advance loans and mortgage foreclosure rescue schemes.

4. “It’s me” scam
This is a scam that has been prevalent in Asia but is now being seen in the West. The fraudster calls an elderly person declaring that their granddaughter has been in a road accident. Cries for help are screamed down the phone line and the fraudster informs the person that money needs to be sent immediately to cover the medical costs.

5. The “offer you can’t refuse”
This involves the sale of a product for which the fraudster provides an overpayment in the form of a cashier’s cheque, usually stolen, and asks for the excess to be transferred back. This can also occur when targets are offered a job, for example, to earn 20% commission. They receive a £10,000 cheque and are then asked to deposit it and return £8,000. The cheque later bounces, by which time the £8,000 is already in the hands of the bad guys.
