This city in Pakistan is going to use cow poo to power its buses In a bid to freshen its air and cut planet-warming emissions, the Pakistani port city of Karachi will introduce cleaner-running buses powered by a decidedly "unclean" fuel: cow poo. With funding from the international Green Climate Fund, Karachi will launch a zero-emission Green Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network, with 200 buses fuelled by bio-methane. Locals said the new bus system - due to start operating in 2020 - would help reduce air pollution and street noise, but doubted whether it would have enough buses to resurrect the city's ailing transport system.
"(Karachi's) public transport system has totally collapsed and most people have to use online taxi-hailing services (and) auto rickshaws," said commuter Afzal Ahmed, 45, who works as a medical sales representative. After management problems forced the Karachi Transport Corporation to fold some two decades ago, Chinese-imported buses running on compressed natural gas fell into disrepair and were taken off the road, worsening public transport woes, he noted.

Fx, foreign exchange or currency exchange is commonly tagged as forex. Large financial institutions, organizations, companies, banks, and rich investors are experts in forex trading. They have found greater trading potentials that other investments cannot cater.
Currencies are very significant. These are medium for exchange and without it, people cannot conduct trades and businesses. If a person who lives in America wants to buy a product in Europe, that person has to pay in euros to conduct a trade. That person has to pay in Euros to purchase that particular product. A tourist traveling in China cannot pay in the dollar to see the Great Wall since the dollar is not the accepted currency in China. Hence, the tourist should first exchange the dollar with the Chinese Yuan before seeing that fantastic landscape.
Currency exchange is essential for businesses and various trades to happen. This is the major reason why the currency exchange market or forex market is the largest market in the globe.
The foreign exchange market has numerous features that attract investors and traders alike.

Currencies are traded in cities such as London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, and Sydney — the cities with the major financial institutions of the world. When the market in the U.S. closes, the market in Tokyo and Hong Kong is just about to open. Which means the forex market is open 24/5, 24-hrs a day, five days a week.
There are many ways to trade in forex such as the spot market, forwards market, and the futures market. The most widely-known way to trade in forex is through the spot market. This is the largest market in the foreign exchange world since the forwards and futures markets bases their underlying assets in the spot market.
Before, the futures market was the most popular market in fx trading. But because of the recent technological advancements, it gave birth to electronic trading and numerous forex brokers. Since then, the spot market experienced great growth in activities and has now surpassed the forwards and futures market as the preferred trading grounds for investors and traders.
