How To Access Facebook in Vietnam

Facebook is block by service provider in most of the place in Vietnam. Try Google "How to access Facebook in Vietnam" and you will have list of website and blog that teach you how to access Facebook in Vietnam.

Most of the method still can be use and some already block by the ISP. In my blog today i want to share another method so that everyone can access Facebook in Vietnam.

The method i going to tell you guys is using a secure web browser call Tor Browser to access Facebook. Most of you will think that is this secure channel is really secure in term of privacy? Frankly i don't have the answer, as i found out this method by accidentally. But for more info about this secure channel you guys can go through the website and read about it first before start using it.
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

As my suggestion download this Tor Browser Bundle.
 

Once you have download it you will see this icon appear :

Unzip the zip file to a location you feel suitable, for example to your Desktop. Than you will see a folder name     "Tor Browser" double click the folder and you will see few folders and EXE file as below :



Double click on Start Tor Browser.exe.


once click this screen will pop up

Wait until "connected to the Tor Network "

Than Mozilla Firefox will automatically open
Type in www.facebook.com in the search bar and walaaaa done.
but this Tor Browser is not prefect as well, it cannot view flash file as it use portable Mozilla Firefox browser.
if anyone have idea to solve this issue do share at comment.

Thanks

Six More Tips For Healthy Brain


1.      Start Writing! Putting thoughts into words boosts your brain power. Diaries, idea-journals, poetry, note-taking, story-writing, letters, websites and blogs - they're all great.

2.      Use your sense of touch! When you are killing time waiting for a bus, distinguish coins using only your sense of touch. For a real challenge, try to distinguish paper currency by touch.

3.      Eat fractal vegetables! Broccoli, cauliflower and other vegetables from the cabbage family are great for memory. Harvard researchers found that women who ate the most cruciferous vegetables performed better on memory tests than those who ate the least.

4.      Turn down the TV! Turn the volume down a little, to force you to concentrate more closely to follow what's being said. When you can do that, turn the volume down even more.

5.      5.   Take a new route! Don't just go to school, shops or work by the automatic way that you know by heart. Take a new route, and force your brain to focus its attention on the task.Continue in 1 seconds...


6.      6.  Eat fish! Especially oily fish such as mackerel, kippers or salmon that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Eating fish improves concentration, and can actually speed up brain waves.

10 Tips For Healthy Brain

 
1. Shower with your eyes closed! Showering stimulates several senses including touch, smell, sound and warmth. Closing your eyes gives your other senses a chance to become more active.
2.  Build a miniature model! Following complex written instructions activates your brain and sharpens your concentration. Assembling your own furniture is just as good, and will save you money too.
3. Play pool! Concentrating on the "here and now" blocks out distractions and keeps your mind focused, increasing mental clarity. Billiard players must concentrate on the shot at hand as they strategically plan their next move.

4. Get a good night's sleep! People who don't get enough sleep have more trouble learning new information. Sleep gives your brain a chance to consolidate learning and memories.

5.  Learn a new word every day! Working vocabulary correlates with intelligence. New words give us new ways to think, re-energize our brain, and allow us to process ideas with greater nuances.

6.  Play for a while! Intellectual play, creative play, and play that requires co-ordination all stimulate the brain. Stimulating the brain causes measurable changes in the brain as new connections are formed.
7. Do a crossword puzzle! Crossword puzzles train your brain to think critically. They also help you to get better at recalling information that's already inside your brain.

8. Listen to Classical Music! Children who studied piano and sang daily in chorus were much better at solving puzzles than the non-musical group. They also scored higher in spatial intelligence tests.

9.  Spice it up! Scientists from University of California looked into curcumin - a yellow-colored component of the curry spice turmeric. They found that it can slow the onset of memory loss.

10. Brainstorm! Brainstorming means letting your brainpower flow and coming up with original ideas. A stimulating brainstorming session trains your brain to think creatively.Continue in 1 seconds...

Avoid opening any email when you don't know the source or if it appears suspicious in any way. There are people who send emails that use names or logos from trusted financial sites and ask for your sensitive information. Take note that reliable banks do not conduct business this way so delete e-mails immediately from unknown senders without opening them. Avoid opening attachments because it might carry a virus and get into your computer in order to track your personal information.

4.      Make sure that you are in the right website when you conduct your online banking transactions. When you're visiting a financial website, check if it has a Universal Resource Locators (URLs) which begins with "https". You also need to check if it includes a closed padlock icon on the status bar as displayed in the browser. If you want to confirm the authenticity of your financial site, you may double-click on the lock icon to see their security certificate information. It would be better to manually type the URL address bar of your financial website rather than clicking any hyperlink to access it.

You should immediately notify your online bank for any unauthorized transactions or errors in your account through their customer service. Make sure to log-off when leaving your computer unattended or if you're finished with your online transactions. Make it a habit to clear your computer's cache by deleting the history of the web sites that you have visited so that you could also delete your transaction history inside the computer's memory. This is another way of preventing hackers from accessing your personal account information.
