TravelRe: How Difficult Is To Win A Scholarship To Study Economics Degree Abroad by Cousin9999: 5:22pm On Jul 20, 2021
If you're not picky and you aggressively apply, some school or government somewhere will give you one.

Economics does have value, especially in business and forecasting.

But getting a free education may mean studying in an undesirable place, like a very rural area or just a wack country. Don't be discouraged though because that's like the worst case, and it probably wouldn't be all that bad.

If you do it, I think you should strongly consider a doctorate.

Let us know what you decide to do and how it turns out.

SportsDeaf-blind Paralympian Quits Team USA When Told She Can't Bring Assistant by Cousin9999(op): 11:50am On Jul 20, 2021
Becca Meyers is a six-time Paralympic medalist with three golds from the 2016 Rio Games.

She was expected to compete for up to four medals in Tokyo. Instead she's not going. After the 26-year-old deaf-blind swimmer was told she couldn't bring her mother and personal care assistant (PCA) Maria Meyers to help her navigate Tokyo and the Olympic facilities, Meyers informed Team USA that she was quitting the team.

She told the Washington Post in a story published Monday that she made the decision in part to effect change.

Meyers' rare genetic disorder
Meyers suffers from Usher syndrome, a genetic disorder that left her deaf at birth. The disorder has also progressively eroded her eyesight. Her vision isn't completely gone, but it's been recently downgraded from the least-impaired Paralympic classification of S13 to the middle class of S12, the Post reports. Paralympians designated as S11 are completely blind or close to it. According to the Post she's the only one of 34 swimmers on the U.S. Paralympic teams who is both deaf and blind.

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee told Becca's father Mark Meyers in a June email that organizers and the Japanese government prohibited her from bringing a PCA because of COVID-19 regulations strictly limiting who is and isn't allowed to travel to Tokyo as a member of an Olympic delegation.

Read the rest here.

They expect a team of 34 disabled people in a foreign country to use one PCA. Degenerates.

3. Amazon ships to Japan.
4. Japan just keeps giving people more reasons to dislike and mock Asians. Imagine being so weird and miserable that you want to police the beds of foreign athletes messing with other foreigners. And mind you, this is the biggest sporting event in the world.

I can't honestly feel any way about this. The US cons African economies out of trillions or more every year. Maybe if they stop undermining progress elsewhere, they won't see so much stuff like this.

Foreign AffairsU.S. Says China Working With Criminal Gangs To Commit Global Cyberattacks by Cousin9999(op): 3:06pm On Jul 19, 2021
"The United States has long been concerned about the People's Republic of China's (PRC) irresponsible and destabilizing behavior in cyberspace," the White House said in a statement on Monday.

"Today, the United States and our allies and partners are exposing further details of the PRC's pattern of malicious cyber activity and taking further action to counter it, as it poses a major threat to U.S. and allies' economic and national security."

The Biden administration outlined a series of threats from Beijing, including government-affiliated hackers that have targeted companies and demanded millions of dollars in ransom.

The administration also blamed China for a hack of Microsoft Exchange email server software that compromised tens of thousands of computers around the world earlier this year.

China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has been using criminal contract hackers who have engaged in "unsanctioned cyber operations worldwide, including for their own personal profit," the statement said.

"In some cases, we are aware that PRC government-affiliated cyber operators have conducted ransomware operations against private companies that have included ransom demands of millions of dollars," it continued.

China's "unwillingness to address criminal activity by contract hackers harms governments, businesses, and critical infrastructure operators through billions of dollars in lost intellectual property, proprietary information, ransom payments, and mitigation efforts."

The Department of Justice on Monday has announced charges against four Chinese nationals, who prosecutors allege were working with the MSS in a hacking campaign targeting governments and entities in at least a dozen countries.

I respect what she's doing, but I think instead of abandoning certain practices, we should change the meaning or method. For example, they can both kneel. The bride "price" could also have a different name and become some other gift (maybe a party) that shows appreciation for her parents and how deeply he loves her. It could even be him doing something intensely physical like, idk, climbing a mountain or walking on fire. lol Get creative.

Like the rest of Asia, it's a joke. But it's arguably one of the worst.

People seem to think development makes it like Europe. Even a sh***y Euro country has infinitely more opportunities.

Studying there is pointless unless maybe it's free and you're getting full financial support from parents. There was some trade agreement that included scholarships for Nigerian students, so that's definitely a possibility and worth investigating.

If you're actually paying, you're entering a market that has nothing to offer unless you plan to get into import/export. You can't even use it for networking or a stepping stone.

Don't say no one warned you.

You need to chill because you're sounding ignorant right now.

Anyway, if the guy's instinct was to help, it's messed up to paint that as negative. What if everyone was a punk? Is that a desirable society?

And the drive to help women in particular may be majorly biological. It is what it is. However, there's plenty of men saving guys all the time. Don't play dūmb.

I think some people are overreacting. I understand the belief that we shouldn't risk our lives for them, but sometimes people act without even thinking because that's just who they are. In a situation like that, you never know how you'll react.

It's messed up to make it into a negative thing when someone's instinct is to save someone.

But it says a lot about manhood though. Oyinbos are p***y. This is a clear example of why all these nonblack women lust after black men. They know the difference between real men and punks.

CandyOps:
How come Yankee has wildfires as a result oh high temperature but not W. Africa which is right at the equator?
Bad urban planning and other development.

But wildfires are generally not disasters. They serve a purpose.

Many types of forests have evolved to utilize fire disturbances to maintain ecosystem health and to regenerate. For example, many tree species actually require fire to germinate their seeds, and forest fires return important nutrients to the forest soil that was previously being stored in biomass.

Wildfires help to clear out dead wood and other materials that would otherwise have taken much longer to break down and provide soil nutrition for the next generation of trees and plants living in that forest. This process helps to keep a forest ecosystem healthy.

Burned forests serve as important habitat for many species, such as the Black-backed Woodpecker, Picoides arcticus, that is specialized to live and thrive in forests that have experienced severe burning.

After a forest fire occurs, a process called ecological succession takes place, where the ecosystem goes through a series of changes and eventually develops into a mature forest again.
