The worst countries for Blacks to travel and or live.

China
A person of African descent traveling to China should not be surprised if they are repeatedly stared at or even swarmed by crowds of curious Chinese who will treat them as a spectacle by taking pictures, touching their hair, rubbing their skin, and asking questions that reflect their ignorance and lack of interaction with Black people.
Racism against Blacks may be the strongest form of prejudice in China. Chinese racism is linked to ignorance, class divisions, ethnocentrism and colorism that exists within Chinese society. Many people in China look down upon other Chinese of darker skin, and believe the whiter skin has more beauty.
In China, Black people are viewed through stereotypes, and most Chinese assume Blacks are poor, uneducated, violent, play basketball, are barbaric and wild, and even eat each other. The most common Chinese slur used against Black people means “black ghost.”

South Korea
Racist mockery of Black people is very common in the public sphere in South Korea.  When a Black person turns on the television in Korea, they can  expect to experience Koreans using blackface and other stereotypical depictions to mock African people, the Diaspora, and Black culture in general.
Tourists can also anticipate being mistreated because of skin color or ethnicity. Foreigners say although many Koreans are polite and respectful,  it’s not unusual to experience an angry, public xenophobic outburst from some of Korea’s citizens and taxi drivers, who they say overlook them in favor of picking up Koreans.  A number of visitors have also reported locals shifting uneasily away from them on public transportation.
Some Koreans and visitors explain the racism against Black people as stemming from a fear of the unknown, since the country  has historically been one of the most ethnically homogeneous nations in the world. Some Koreans will go their entire lives and never see a Black person. Others say Koreans, over time, have adopted whites’ attitudes towards Blacks.

Yes, the land of the free is still not quite as free in their mindset as expected. Generally racism is on the decline in the USA but there are certain places in the country, especially in the south, where even a tourist could find trouble with the locals.

Start your own business with little to no money.



Come up with an idea. You will need an idea for a business before you do anything else. This should be something you are passionate about, since your new business will consume a great deal of your time and money.
Come up with business ideas by identifying things people need and are willing to pay for, that isn’t provided in your area, or which you can provide better than anyone else.


Image titled Start Your Own Business Step 2
Consider if it is possible. Before going too far, think about how plausible your idea is. Is it something that people would actually pay for? Will it turn enough of a profit to be worth spending your time to do it? You will also need to be sure that it is possible to put into action. While it would be great to have a computer which makes food magically appear out of thin air, this is simply impossible (unless you’re Patrick Stewart.)

Be sure it’s unique. Whatever your idea is, be sure it’s as unique as possible. This will help you eliminate or significantly combat competition, which will make your business more successful. Simply putting a small spin on a currently existing product (making blue Red vines or something like that) is not usually enough to build a business on, so push the envelope!


Part 2 of 7: Make A Business Plan
Image titled Start Your Own Business Step 41
Determine your cost of operation. You will need a solid business plan to present to any investors and the best place to start would be with determining your basic cost of operations. This will outline and help you determine how much money is needed to produce the product or offer the service you intend to offer or produce. It includes production costs, shipping, taxes, worker’s wages, rent for workspace, etc. [1]
Knowing your cost of operations will be vital to determining if your business will be profitable, since you will need to make more than this baseline in order to remain in business.

Determine your potential market. Be realistic. How many people will realistically use your business? How much will they pay to use your services? If either number is too small in comparison to how much it will cost you to stay in business, then you should reconsider or change your plans.

Determine impediments. You will need to plan ahead for all of the problems which can get in the way of running a business.
Evaluate your competition; if their market share or product offering is too strong and stable, then you will have a very hard time breaking into the market. No one will want to buy an equally priced or more expensive version of a perfectly good product or service which already exists.
You will also need to explore the associated regulations and laws, especially regarding taxes. You should ask your local state authorities, as well getting information from the IRS.[2]
Make sure there are no prohibitive costs, such as equipment which is too expensive to make the business profitable. For example, cars didn’t take off until Ford figured out how to make them cheap by building more efficient equipment.

 6 Home Businesses You Can Start With No MoneyBy Holly Reisem Hanna

Recently, I received an email from an individual who was desperately seeking a legit, online, work from home business opportunity. This individual had currently moved to a very rural area of town and was unable to commute daily for work. Another obstacle that this individual faced was the issue of needing money ASAP to pay for bills and daily living expenses, but still desired the flexibility and perks of being their own boss.

While this might sound like a hopeless case, it’s not. There are actually quite a few options for individuals who want to run their own business with little or no startup fees.

Here are 6 Home Businesses You Can Start With No Money.

Blogging:

Obviously, I’m a huge advocate for starting your own monetized blog, however it does become a bit tricky when you’re trying do it for free. First you have two options for getting started – you can either use the free WordPress platform or the free version of Blogger. Both have similar features in terms of functionality and design and both can be monetized, but only thorough their respective ad networks. What this means is that you’re able to monetize your blog, but only by using WordPress’ word ads and Blogger’s Adsense ads. So you won’t be able to sell your own direct ads, participate in affiliate marketing, or produce sponsored content.

While this does limit your earning potential, it’s does give you the initial foundation for building an audience. Once you have a little bit of money rolling in, you can easily transfer your blog over to the paid versions of WordPress and Blogger where you will be able to fully monetize your blog and start making some real money.

And when you do, make sure to check out … 44 Ways to Make Money Blogging.

Child Care:

As a preteen and teen babysitting was my bread and butter. I would babysit my father’s co-worker’s children, the neighborhood kids, my siblings, as well as children from the church we attended. It was an easy way to make some money and obviously, I didn’t spend any money on advertising my services. While most of my clients were from word of mouth referrals, I was also able to offer my child care services on the local bulletin board at our church, and I let it be known that I wanted to work.

You too can make good money by offering your services as a nanny or babysitter. If you’re able to gather up some positive referrals from friends and family members and then let it be known that you’re open for business. Places like Facebook, Craigslist, Sitter City and local bulletin boards are great locations to promote your business (not to mention they’re all free) and always remember to personally connect with neighbors, friends and family and let them know about your services. Once you get some money rolling in, you may want to consider offering daily daycare services, if so check out FabJob’s manual for Becoming a Daycare Owner.



                                                                 

10,000hp & Drag Racing


Among the many vehicle debuts at the ongoing 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas is the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car – a purpose built drag car that will help Team Mopar go after another championship in 2015 with 10,000 awesome Hemi horsepower.

You read that right – the supercharged Hemi V8 in the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T funny car is capable of producing 10,000 horsepower. That is enough power to send the 2,400 pound Charger race car down the quarter mile in the high 3 second range with speeds well over 300 miles per hour. It achieves this incredible power with forced induction and a monster nitro methane fuel system that delivers 90 gallons of fuel per minute.
That is 90 gallons of fuel every minute to make the prescribed 10,000 horsepower in the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T funny car.
NHRA 2015 Charger VS Hellcat 2015 Charger
To put the figures for the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T funny car into perspective, let’s compare this purpose built drag car to the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat road car. Of course, this isn’t a realistic comparison, but it helps to show what kind of power the new drag car (and all modern NHRA funny cars) makes in comparison to one of the most powerful production cars in the world.
The Hellcat Charger packs 707 horsepower and weighs around 4,500 pounds (estimated) for a power to weight ratio of 6.36 pounds per horsepower. The Charger R/T funny car has 10,000 horsepower and weighs 2,400lbs for a power to weight ratio of 0.24 pounds per horsepower. The Hellcat Charger is capable of dashing from a stop to 60 miles per hour in the high 3 second range while running the quarter mile in 11 seconds flat en route to a top speed of 204 miles per hour – all of which make the Hellcat Charger the best performance sedan in the world. In the same high 3 second range, the 2015 Charger R/T funny car is able to get to 300 miles per hour and it does so in the length of a quarter mile drag strip. Finally, while the world’s fastest sedan can reach a top speed of 204 miles per hour, the 2015 Charger R/T funny car can reach speeds in excess of 340 miles per hour – in the quarter mile.
Hitting the Track in 2015
While this new Dodge Charger drag car made its formal debut at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it will make its on-track debut when the 2015 NHRA season opens next February at the Winter Nationals in Sonoma California. One of the drivers piloting this new Charger race car will be Matt Hagan, who currently leads the 2014 NHRA funny car championship race in his Dodge Charger. Hagan took the title back in 2011 with a Charger while Jack Beckman claimed the title in 2012, also in a Charger. This means that the 2015 Charger funny car body will have some big shoes to fill, but I would expect to see continued success from the Mopar factory back drag racing program with the help of this new body.

When designing an engine to pull in more than atmospheric pressure, tuners often turn to forced induction. It’s one of the fastest ways to add significant power to almost any engine, and there are two prevalent ways it can be done: supercharging and turbocharging.
What’s the difference? A supercharger is an air compressor driven by the crankshaft of an engine, usually connected with a belt. Alternatively, a turbocharger is simply an air compressor driven by an exhaust gas turbine. That’s the one key difference; a supercharger requires engine power to run, while a turbocharger runs off waste energy created by the engine. You might assume that because the turbo is run off waste gases that it’s more efficient, and you’d be correct!

1. Turbocharger advantages and disadvantages:

Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Turbochargers Vs Superchargers - Japanese
Pros:
  • Significant increase in horsepower.
  • Power vs size: allows for smaller engine displacements to produce much more power relative to their size.
  • Better fuel economy: smaller engines use less fuel to idle, and have less rotational and reciprocating mass, which improves fuel economy.
  • Higher efficiency: turbochargers run off energy that is typically lost in naturally-aspirated and supercharged engines (exhaust gases), thus the recovery of this energy improves the overall efficiency of the engine.
Cons:
  • Turbo lag: turbochargers, especially large turbochargers, take time to spool up and provide useful boost.
  • Boost threshold: for traditional turbochargers, they are often sized for a certain RPM range where the exhaust gas flow is adequate to provide additional boost for the engine. They typically do not operate across as wide an RPM range as superchargers.
  • Power surge: in some turbocharger applications, especially with larger turbos, reaching the boost threshold can provide an almost instantaneous surge in power, which could compromise tyre traction or cause some instability of the car.
  • Oil requirement: turbochargers get very hot and often tap into the engine’s oil supply. This calls for additional plumbing, and is more demanding on the engine oil. Superchargers typically do not require engine oil lubrication.

Everything seen with the eye be synthetic. Everything seen with the mind be true to a greater degree.

THE FUTURE OF WAR


        An all-out war between two powers possessing molecular nanotechnology would be disastrous to human life and natural resources. Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) type principles may prevent many potential wars, since anything of value being fought over would most likely be destroyed in the process.

 Security (or defense) of its citizens is the first duty of any government. National defense entails the protection and safety of a nation's secrets and its citizens, and freedom from foreign dictation. Military security implies the capacity of a nation to defend itself, and is defined as, "a condition that results from the establishment and maintenance of protective measures that ensure a state of inviolability from hostile acts or influences."
"Science and technology are advancing to the point that structuring matter at the nanometer scale (1nm = 10-9m) is becoming routine. Nanotechnology (NT) is predicted to produce revolutionary changes, bringing far-reaching consequences in many areas."
        Ultimately, "technology will become nanotechnology and disappear from our physical presence." Nanotechnology is the study and manipulation of the new properties that emerge as material dimensions are reduced the limits of the nanoscale. The classical laws of Newtonian physics break down at this ultra-small scale and give way to quantum mechanics, resulting in remarkable differences in material behavior. Scientists and engineers are able to exploit these unusual properties through nanostructured devices. Nano is the direction of future technological progress, and military scientists and engineers have a duty to study these effects and apply what they learn to the protection of their people.

Facebook Tracks All Users!

Facebook is spying on people around the world ‘just like America’s NSA.
                                                       

Facebook has been accused of spying on users in a fashion similar to methods used by America's National Security Agency (NSA).

The Belgian Privacy Commission has brought a lawsuit against the social network, after accusing it of 'trampling all over European privacy laws'.
Frederic Debussere, a lawyer representing the privacy commission, made the comparison with the NSA during opening statements.

The Guardian reports that Mr Debussere, referring to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's revalations, told a Belgian court at a hearing in Brussels on Monday: 'When it became known that the NSA was spying on people all around the world, everybody was upset.
'This actor [Facebook] is doing the very same thing, albeit in a different way.' 
The data protection authority, which accuses Facebook of tracking non-users and those who have logged out of their accounts for advertising purposes, is threatening Facebook with a fine of 250,000 euros each day.
In May, the commission accused the social network of tracking people online without consent while dodging questions from national regulators.
The commission published a report analysing changes the company made to its privacy policy in January and said: 'Facebook tramples on European and Belgian privacy laws'.


Facebook has spent years earning a notorious reputation for sacrificing users' privacy for increased advertising revenue. Now the social networking giant may be in serious legal trouble with the European Union for violating EU laws about tracking Internet users without their consent.
report issued by ICRI/CIR and iMinds-SMIT for the Belgian Privacy Commission claims that Facebook is tracking Internet users — even those who are not logged into a Facebook account — and capturing their browsing habits across the web. In many cases, the tracking involves users who do not even have a Facebook account.
The method by which Facebook tracks users is the ubiquitous "Like" button found on most websites. Sites that have the button must allow certain computer scripts to run. These scripts allow Facebook to see what websites users visit even if the users do not click the button. Facebook then uses that information to allow advertisers to direct their ads to targeted users. The practice is controversial in the United States and illegal in the European Union. The issue at stake is that if users agree to have their browsing habits tracked across the Web, it is a valuable service; if they do not, it is an invasion of their privacy. The "Like" button simply appearing on a website does not amount to a user's consent.
To make matters worse, Facebook also ignores "Do Not Track" requests from users who activate that setting in browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. In doing so, Facebook joins ranks with Google and Yahoo as well as a slew of disreputable sites.
These tracking policies — which went into effect June 2014 — are a reversal of the social network's previous policies which were introduced after a $15-billion class action suit for invasive practices in 2011. With the introduction of the "Like" button on non-Facebook pages, Facebook initially claimed the privacy issue to be a bug in the software. The company now sells the bug as a feature to advertisers.
The issue is deeper than just whether Facebook can see what other sites users visit — though that is disturbing enough on its own. There are serious security concerns as well, because the scripts used create a back door that hackers and others can manipulate to further invade the privacy and security of users.
After coming under fire for using persistent cookies (small programs that are loaded on users' computers to maintain certain settings and allow tracking), Facebook introduced the "Tracking Pixel." It is a 1x1 gif file, invisible to the naked eye in most cases, which allows the company to track users even after they leave the site. Since users who do not even have a Facebook account and have not agreed to Facebook's privacy policy are tracked as well, such tracking cannot be consensual. Because the pixel is invisible, very few users (whether they have an account or not) could even be aware of it.
As the EU case continues to be investigated, it is likely that Facebook will face serious legal problems and sizable fines. EU laws do more to protect the privacy of individuals than do those in America. Fortunately, there are steps American Internet users can take to protect themselves while they wait for their laws to catch up to those in the European Union. In a previous articleThe New American outlined several methods for Internet users to protect themselves from privacy-invading tools used by both overreaching governments and nosy corporations.
Many of the tips in that article would secure users from the types of security issues related to Facebook's invasion of users' privacy. Downloading and installing a browser that is more privacy-friendly would be a great starting point. The Firefox browser, which can be downloaded for free from www.mozilla.org, fits the bill nicely. It is much more secure than Internet Explorer, even with the default settings, and can be made even more secure by changing a few settings and installing a few add-ons.
By disabling all third-party cookies and setting Flash to run only on sites the user approves, many of the scripts required for tracking will not work. To make it even more difficult for governments and corporations to track users, we also recommend downloading and installing the HTTPS Everywhere plugin from www.eff.org. This will force a secure connection on all sites that offer it. It's not perfect, but it's the same level of security/encryption used by banking websites.
For blocking ads altogether, users can install the AdBlock Plus add-on from Firefox's settings and never see another ad. The practical benefit of this (besides getting rid of Internet clutter in the form of ads and popups) is that each of those ads may have its own tracking capabilities. Preventing them from working goes a long way to protecting users' identities and systems.
Finally, to lock down all the types of scripts that aid in tracking, users can install the NoScript add-on and block all scripts from running. Be aware that this may cause some features of websites to stop working and other websites to not display at all. The settings can be adjusted on a site-by-site basis, though, and at least users will have both knowledge about — and control over — what is happening on their machines and with their data.
Users who take these steps will be much more difficult (if not impossible) to track. The cost in convenience is a worthwhile tradeoff for the added security and privacy.
