QUESTION: Inter-racial marriages by State

question / pregunta:

QUESTION: Fidel Castro Quote Verification

question / pregunta: 

I'm seeking the source of the following quotation:

"In prison, there were no rifles for training, no stone fortresses from which to shoot. Behind those walls, our rifles were books. And through study, stone by stone we built our fortress, the only one that is invincible: the fortress of ideas."

~Fidel Castro

I would like to find the primary source (speech, autobiography, newspaper article, interview, whatever it may be). If I can't find the primary source, any authoritative reference such as a reputable collection of quotations will do. I need the full citation, including page number, publisher, year, etc.

This has been particularly frustrating, because almost all references to this quote are on anti-Castro websites, none of which cite the source of the quote.

I may have more requests for help with quote verification in the coming weeks. Thank you.

QUESTION: Who is my landlord?

question / pregunta: 

The super of the building we are trying to rent is trying to scam us out of money. He wont let us meet or talk to the landlord, because he is trying to pocket money and make us pay twice for the same month. Is there a way that I can find out who the landlord of the building is with just the address?

QUESTION: unGoogle-able

question / pregunta: 

Does anyone know of any project(s), or at the very least any conversations, about creating an option/algorithm wherein people who choose to be unGoogle-able, un-Yahoo-able, un-Internet-searchable can do so? Rather like being unlisted in the phone book, except one could type in one's name and request that when people type that name into the search engine, all that comes up is "unlisted," versus one's phone number, place of employment, marathon race times, etc. This is very different than taking oneself off the reverse directory or off of Switchboard.

I know that one problem would be names that are the same. Will the real Jane Smith stand up? Jane Smith Number One wants to be Googled, the more often the better; whereas Jane Smith 2 is hiding from her abusive ex-husband. Anyway, I'd like to know if other folks are discussing this perfectly reasonable option, wherein my disclosure of my information is my choice.

QUESTION: Global income inequality

question / pregunta: 

I am an educator at an international development NGO, seeking information for an activity trying to communicate to high-school and college students about global income inequality. I am looking for up to date statistics on global income distribution (per capita). Most of what I have found has been country break downs (i.e. per capita income in Algeria is X) but I'm looking for - top 10% in the world earn X, next 10% earn Y, etc. Any ideas? Many many thanks
