Apartheid Standing in the Way of African Socio Economic Development!

The African continent consists of some of the poorest countries in the world. Not only is the continent plagued by economic problems it also faces a number of other socio economic and religious issues. One of the largest continents in the world, most of the countries in this continent fall either in the second world or the third world. Apart from South Africa and Egypt to some extent all of the African countries are undergoing internal trouble and disturbance. Some of the countries are also counted among the poorest in the world. Blessed with a lot of natural resources it is extremely important that the conditions in this beautiful continent are improved for the upliftment of the coming generations.

Contrary to what people believe social conditions are very much responsible for the economic state of a country. There is not one African country that has a peaceful internal existence. Thus the head of the states of these countries along with the foreign ministers are trying to bring in improvements by recognizing and sorting out the matters that are hampering the growth and development in these countries.

One of the greatest hitches of Africa is that it suffers the social problem of apartheid. Apartheid is actually a racial policy that was heavily practiced in the most prosperous African country, that is, South Africa. South Africa is a country that is being inhabited by both the blacks and the whites, and almost in the same number. The whites enjoy a slight majority. Like the rest of the continent, South Africa was also a British colony and the British impact succeeded in enjoying a very strong impact and standing. The racist attitude of the whites against the blacks is very well known. The white majority in South Africa cultivated the fields for the growth of racism. This milieu took the form of apartheid and stroke the South African black community quite hard. Apartheid kept the blacks from enjoying the same social, political, legal, and economic benefits and privileges that the whites did. Slowly this policy kind of found an existence all over Africa. It is only obvious that this policy has proved to be a major obstacle in the overall growth and development of the continent. All the sections of the society have to enjoy the national benefits and have to perform the national duties entrusted on them in order to have a prosperous nation. Apartheid is one of the many impediments that have to be done away with in order to have a prosperous and better Africa.

Inspite of being a third world country, India is making huge improvements as regards its socio- economic conditions. Definitely the goal of being a developed nation is still far off but India has started its journey towards the goal. India is a hot favorite name in the IT market. That is why a number of Indian companies are today offering offshore software development to the western countries. Indian IT consulting firms have been found to have an expert hand in dealing with concepts like ecommerce web site design, ecommerce solution and so on. Since the number of software companies are multiplying at an unthought of speed one must pay attention to a few matters before actually hiring a software company for ones development needs.

Planning For The Worst In A Nuclear World

Over the last sixty five years, we have come to the dubious realization that we now have the power and capability to destroy the planet. After World War Two, a complete understanding of the ramifications of this destructive capability came slowly at first. If you were in elementary school between 1950 and 1980 in the United States, you may remember the "duck and cover" civil defense instructional film created to keep Americans safe in the event of an atomic bomb.

In retrospect, this civil defense film is, in fact, pretty comical. American school children were instructed, in the event of an nuclear bomb attack, to simply duck under their desks and cover their heads to insure their safety. Indeed, Americans (and later the British public) were insured that, by taking these simple precautions, that they would be safe from a nuclear bomb. Of course, an increased understanding of the long term effects of fallout from a nuclear bomb's radiation put an end to these civil defense instructional films.

Many of us may also remember the 1964 film "Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". This black comedy parodies global nuclear destruction and the mentality of the Cold War. The film's popularity is due to the fact that our society had come to the realization of the absurdity of the ramifications of global destruction. The film became an important part of popular culture by its selection and admission into the National Film Registry.

The Dr. Strangelove film did highlight the underlying fear of the public about nuclear weapons during the years of the cold war. Consider that many countries built fallout shelters for military and government officials. Sturdy brick buildings in the United States were deemed residential fallout shelters while underground subway stations were often used as planning tools for a potential nuclear attack in the Eastern Bloc countries. Like the duck and cover civil defense instructional film, the residential fallout shelter of the Cold War years would not have had much of a positive result if a nuclear engagement had actually occurred.

So, thinking about the potential nuclear threat to the planet, what planning does makes sense? Is there something that can be used as a way to try and rebuild if the unthinkable actually happens? Even better, is it something that we can use to scientifically advance society today, while concurrently utilizing it as a hedge against a potential nuclear problem of tomorrow? The answer to all these questions is positive.

Consider that several countries have been actively involved in a recently completed project which has been dubbed by our tabloid media as the “Doomsday Vault.” However, this international project should really be considered as a lock box of agriculture. It is more accurately referred to by the name of the Global Seed Vault.

In 2004, the United Nations International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources created a formal global network for storing, studying, and sharing seeds. This treaty led to the creation of fourteen hundred seed banks in more than one hundred countries worldwide. However, many of these seed banks have been the victim of various problems from nature, poor storage facilities, unstable political locations, and a myriad of other security issues.

In response to these problems at the various international seed banks, Norway has just completed construction of a $9 million facility built deep inside a sandstone mountain on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen called the Global Seed Vault. The goal of the Global Seed Vault is to store and protect samples of every type of seed from every seed collection in the world. The vault has the capacity to store over two billion seeds. It has three storage rooms. Filling half of one of the rooms will make it the largest seed storage facility in the world. The seeds will be sealed in specially designed four-ply foil packages that will be placed in sealed boxes and stored on shelves inside the vault

The vault is an effort to organize and safeguard holdings of all the varieties of the twenty one crop plants. The vault's seed collection will represent the products of some 10,000 years of plant breeding by the world's farmers. Though most are no longer widely planted, the varieties contain vital genetic traits still regularly used in plant breeding.

The Global Seed Vault will feature permafrost that will insure that the seed is preserved by temperatures maintained well below the freezing point. Operators plan to replace the air inside the vault each winter, when temperatures in Spitsbergen are around -18 °C. In the event that a catastrophe meant that the vault was abandoned, the permafrost would continue to keep the seeds viable. Also, seeds will further be protected by thick walls of reinforced concrete, two airlocks and high security doors. Also, the entrance tunnel to the Global Seed Vault is designed to withstand bomb blasts and earthquakes.

With plant species disappearing at an alarming rate, the Global Seed Vault is designed to hold more than 165,000 types of genetically modified seeds. It is stored history of the Earth's ability to modify its agricultural design. To have an historical inventory of seed for study, research, and permanent storage makes perfect sense. In addition to the benefits it provides for today, the Global Seed Vault could mean an opportunity for rebirth for a nuclear world of tomorrow. Indeed, unlike the "duck and cover" civil defense film or the “fallout shelter,” the Global Seed Vault represents a far more practical plan should the worst happen in a nuclear world.

Watch out! Tour to the third world countries can earn you ED

Call it a co- incidence or a mishap, but most of the third world countries prove to be very popular travel destinations. India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Nepal and most of the countries of Africa come under the division of the third world countries, and incidentally they also remain the all time favourite tourist spots ever.

Some of the main reasons behind the flocking of tourists to these destinations are that- firstly, traveling in these countries is comparatively cheaper. Secondly, for the people of the developed countries, visit to these places provide a very welcome change. Thirdly, the cultures of most of these countries are very much intact. They have not gone through much change. They are capable of maintaining their original freshness and rawness. This is something that is not found in the developed or the first world countries. Hence it is not surprising that tourism in the third world countries is booming big time.

The fact that the travel has become a money making industry in the third world countries is also a very heart warming fact. Poverty remains one of the main concerns of the third world countries. Hence through the field of travel and tourism if these countries successfully add some resources to the buffers of the country, there is nothing wrong in that.

However, just like the fact that a coin has two sides, similarly to everything good and nice there is invariably a flip side. One very unconventional drawback of travel and tourism in the third world countries is casual sex and sometimes also rampant prostitution. As has been already mentioned in the beginning of the article, traveling in the third world countries is comparatively cheap. Sex, is also cheap, if one is out to buy sex. Prostitution is very rampant in these countries and since it is cheap, there are tourists who want to have a taste of it. There are also rare cases when cupid strikes between the people who meet beyond the geographical boundaries. Sometimes these flings develop into full fledged relations but more commonly these flings end with the end of the vacations. But what these flings and visits to the brothel can leave is a trail of diseases. Both mental and physical. The latter might include STDs and diseases like ED. This is also a reason why STDs like AIDS are so rampant in the third world countries. Again these STDs can lead to ED in men. And the third world countries are also not armed with the boon of the ED dugs i.e. you cannot buy Levitra or similar ED drugs if you happen to be in Nepal, at least not the branded versions. However, now you have the facility to order levitra via internet. Well it is not important whether you suffer from ED or not what is important is that you can acquire ED, AIDS or STD's if you indulge in such useless activities.

So as you see that there are many pros and cons of visiting the third world countries you must select proper reason and activities you would like to indulge in before you plan your next trip or your first trip to these countries.

Retirement in Puerto Vallarta--Stranded in the Third World?

Prior to the demise of the USSR, the Second World consisted of the communist bloc countries. Since the collapse of the iron curtain, there are no longer any Second World countries, so perhaps we can promote Mexico to the New Second World! Actually, Mexico along with China, India, Brazil, Turkey, and others are recognized as Newly Industrialized Countries or NIC´S. These NIC´S have more advanced economies than the developing countries of the Third World, yet have not attained the level of developed countries of the First World.

Regardless of what World we were in, it was a cultural shock and required a number of changes to our daily living habits. As an example, the Mexican TV had only five or six channels which were either old movies from the US with Spanish subtitles or Mexican shows obviously directed to sixth graders. The only channel that we could understand and relate to was CNN with it’s biased, almost anti-US commentary that was only a bit more palatable than the sixth grade Mexican shows!

Newspapers and magazines from the US were few and far between and the news was usually history by the time they were made available here. Mail delivery was so pathetic in Vallarta ten years ago that the only way to be assured of receiving mail, including newspapers and magazines, was through Mail Boxes Etc. which delivered from El Paso to Vallarta once a week. The service was fairly priced and we had a good chance of receiving most of our mail. Ten years ago we had dial-up, ultra slow Mexican speed internet service. It worked most of the time but was pitifully slow and got disconnected constantly, especially if there was a threat of rain.

Ten years ago, the grocery, drug, and hardware stores varied from absolutely horrible to almost acceptable. The choice of foods and supplies was limited but enough to survive. We had bottled water, Microdyn to clean fruits and vegetables, pills to keep us free of amoebas and bacteria, and the rest of the basics needed to live in the tropics known as Paradise!

We did have a decent golf course, world class fishing, and an absolutely perfect climate with Pebble Beach type views from everywhere. Most importantly, we were meeting a bunch of similar minded, adventurous, recently retired North Americans that came to enjoy a new pace of life. One could probably say that we were stranded in the Third World but the benefits of living in Paradise just about offset the drawbacks and limitations associated with this new style of life.

During the past decade, Puerto Vallarta, known as PV or Vallarta by the local residents, has changed dramatically. The population has exploded to 350,000 inhabitants, most of which are now speaking or at least understanding English. We have many new businesses and stores including a Super Walmart, Sam´s Club, Office Depot, etc with all the latest in electronics, hardware, and building supplies. The many new huge and modern grocery supermarkets are equal to the finest in the US with a complete selection of frozen foods and most of the other food products that we 50,000 Americans and Canadians are accustomed to, all of which are imported from the States.

Vallarta has grown to the point where there are now seven beautiful golf courses with more under construction; hundreds of tennis courts, and of course, Vallarta still has the world class deep sea fishing. The medical care in Vallarta has changed accordingly with the population boom. There are three new hospitals and numerous modern clinics. The water is as pure as in the States and the food purchased from the modern air-conditioned supermarkets is equal to the finest in the US. There are a number of new, huge cinemas, new theme parks, and hundreds of world class restaurants in Vallarta.

Now, let’s return to the idea of being stranded in Paradise. Today, most all North Americans have satellite TV with 350 channels from the States or Canada. We all have high speed internet service with exactly the same information at our fingertips that we would have anywhere in the States. Most of the Americans and Canadians use Vonage or a similar telephone provider for almost free and unlimited calls to their friends and family back home. Mail service in PV is excellent, however all mail is routed through Guadalajara or Mexico City and serious delays still happen in these cities. Therefore, any items of importance are sent via DHL, FedEx, or UPS. Most items mailed by DHL will be received within 48 hours and are easily tracked on the internet. American newspapers and magazines are current and can be purchased at news stands located throughout Vallarta.

With the thousands of houses and condos currently under construction, the totally new city infrastructure, and the future ten year building plan underway, PV is no longer a developing economy; it’s a booming economy! With all the modern internet technology, nobody should ever feel stranded in Vallarta unless they desire the old Mexican pace of life which can be had by simply avoiding the technology.

There are a few things for certain in Vallarta; none of the retired North Americans will have to go to work tomorrow, the weather will be perfect for doing whatever pleases them, they will enjoy being with their friends, and with two to three hour flights leaving for the US all day everyday, none of them will feel stranded in the Third World!

Barbers, not just a men''s haircutter!!

In American and Commonwealth countries barbers specialize in the simple cutting of men's hair only. They do not offer any significant styling or 'fancy' haircuts when compared to hairdressers working in hair salons. Lately, larger numbers of women have been going to a barber for their haircuts, especially when they choose to have their hair cut very short or shaved. Some Master Barbers modify themselves as hairdressers and work in a salon. There is a common disbelief that barbers do not perform any service other than hair cutting but this is untrue.

The trade of barber is ancient one. Razors have been found among relics of the Bronze Age in Egypt, and barbering is mentioned in the Bible by Ezekiel who said "Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber's razor to shave your head and your beard. (NIV)" Indian culture had given a special status to the barbers. According to the Hindu rituals barbers have a special place right from the birth of a child till the death. Any ritual is not complete without the presence of a barber. The profession of barber was introduced to Rome from the Greeks and barber shops quickly became very popular centers for daily news and gossip. The barbers of former times in the Middle East and Gulf countries were also surgeons and dentists. As well as haircutting, hairdressing and shaving, barbers performed surgery of wounds, blood-letting, cupping and leeching, enemas, and the extraction of teeth, and maalish.

The days are gone when the barber would cut your hair or just run the razor right across your head or face. In the modern time fashion statements are changing regularly and men are getting bolder and smarter with their haircuts. They too have realized the importance of looking good. And with guys growing their hair, hairstyles are now playing an important role in a man's life.

At present short hair is very common among the population, long hair is somewhat rare. The medium length of hair that is mostly preferred option world over. Rock stars or their fans, students, journalists, politicians or any guy with fondness for their hair are very selective about their hair when it comes to maintenance and hair care. Style of haircut cannot be defined in particular. They often vary from person to person depending on hair texture, face cut and many other factors.

Womens haircuts are also getting popular world over, the short hair provides distinct advantages over their longer counterparts. Longer hair also needed cutting but usually they are complicated ones. Generally men's haircuts are not as complicated as that of the women. For straight hair it's not much of a hassle but for hair with a bit of fizz it can get very difficult. In cases like that hair styling is required. If the texture of hair is rough and fizzy then it has to be conditioned beforehand to experiment with some of the hair styles. With the changing times the profession of barber has seen a lot of changes and that are bound to change further with the time to come.
