Tyre barriers were first introduced in 1981. I'm fairly sure that the FIA sets crash standards and it is up to the track officials to ensure that the track is safe. You design your track submit it to the FIA and then they tell you whether it passes or whether it fails and what you have to change. The big issues are speed, corner radius, tightening of corner radius visibility profile runoff areas and a couple of others. Here are a few links: http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ftpw010.html http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ftpw016.html http://www.docstoc.com/docs/9688636/F1-Track-Desgin http://www.f1technical.net/articles/26

I'm trying to find out if the grant offer I received from De Monaco Heritage Fund is legitimate or a scam
I'm trying to find out if the grant offer I received from De Monaco Heritage Fund is legitimate or a scam?
There is a registered number 179-721 printed on the envelope. They want $25 sent to them to receive the grant. I did not apply for a grant, but hope it is for real, as I really could use some financial help. I do know there are many scam artists out there who take advantage of people in need. When I called the BBB, they had a listing of this company with a different P.O. Box and no working phone number. I could not find any information on this company with this address. Has anyone had any positive or negative dealings with this company?

This is almost certainly a scam. This website seems to think the same. But I don't know if this website is legit.

If you need financial help drop me a line. You don't have to send me $25.00 You need to apply for a Grant to get one. Just like you need to buy a Lottery Ticket to win. I suggest you to see the films "Matchstick Men" and "Criminal"

DEFINITELY A SCAM. It is hard to find grants to start a business or for personal purposes. Government is simply not handing out money to anyone because it feels like it. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business or for personal purposes. I hope that you did not give your bank details. Also, government grant information is FREE. You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture. Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

Pick up the telephone & call your new employer's Human Resource Manager & ask these same questions. Nobody here knows what their rules & regulations are.

How do countries with no tax work
How do countries with no tax work?
How do countries such as Monaco where there are no taxes work? And why do wealthy people generally live there? Is it expensive to live in a no-tax country or something?

It's not that they have no tax..it's that they have no INCOME tax. This requires places like Monaco to get their income elsewhere. In Monaco's case, they have established themselves as a gambling mecca and so they tax gambling for their income. Obviously wealthy people live there to avoid income taxes. All else being equal, it should be no more expensive living in a no-income tax country - they just find other sources of revenue which should not affect the cost of living.
2 :
I can't imagine that there is absolutely no tax. Is there a sales tax of some sort? Or a property tax? Road tolls? Very high fees for government services (driver's licenses, etc.)?
3 :
Steve D is mostly correct. In many places, there may be no personal income tax, but other taxes are levied. These can be corporate taxes, property taxes, etc. There do indeed exist a few places that are "tax free" for citizens. These governments (kingdoms/monarchies, more typically) raise money for government though the sale and export of national asset (read: OIL). In the case of places like Monaco, they're also bolstered by huge foreign travel dollars. Wealthy individuals are attacted to these places as "Tax Havens" for the simple reason that they save huge amounts of money by avoing the payment of personal income tax.
