adapt to a body shape that you can

Image
Found this in one of my old hard drives. This article was probably taken from MSN Health website; I do not have the source. There are many different body types around, and regrettably many are 'round'. But underneath all the padding and designer wear we can put each body into one of three categories. The 3 main body types: Ectomorphs - Thin and wispy. Mesomorphs - Athletic and muscular. Endomorphs - Generously rounded or 'stout'. Your basic body type is greatly outside of your control - more to do with DNA, and your childhood lifestyle than anything else. So if you are over 18 and reading this, you are what you are, although you can fine tune what you already have. 
If you are looking to change the shape of your body the basic groundwork is the same. Eat fresh, low fat and healthy food at regular intervals . Avoid large amounts of toxins like alcohol and caffeine . Take regular exercise which should include elements of stamina (puffing), strength (g...

solitude by ella wheeler wilcox

Image
Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the air. The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all. There are none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain.

how secure is my password? let's check

Image
There are two kinds of passwords: those that you don’t care about and those that really, really need to be secure. But how can you tell whether the password that protects your life savings is strong enough to repel a serious hacker? HowSecureIsMyPassword.net is one tool that can help you figure it out. Enter something lame, like Fred15, and you’ll find that a desktop PC would hack it in 3 minutes. On the other hand, NiTtFaGm2CtTa0tP would take roughly 151 trillion years to crack (of course, it takes about half that long to enter). Test various combinations, and you should soon arrive at a good balance between security and convenience in a password. Check .

clean a system infected by a master boot record virus

Image
If you have a hard drive that may have a boot virus on it, how do you clean the virus from the drive? The "Master Boot Record" or MBR is loosely used to describe the combination of the "Partition Table" and the "Boot Record". The primary Partition Table is used as a pointer to additional partition tables that might exist on the drive. This set of partition tables forms a chain each maintaining pointers to the next partition table with a total of up to four partition tables on a drive. The primary partition table also has a pointer to the Boot Record. The Boot Record is a sector that contains information about the physical characteristics of the hard drive i.e. cylinders, heads, sectors, drive ID, file system, and so on. Viruses typically move the real MBR onto "slack space" sectors which is unused by your computer. Then it replaces the real MBR with it own version of the MBR where the real MBR belongs. This way the virus can manipulate t...

how trojans work and how to stop a trojan horse

Image
What is a Trojan? A Trojan Horse is an unauthorized instruction contained within a program that performs functions unknown to (and probably unwanted by) the user. On a personal computer, trojans can be destructive to the system. Why the name 'Trojan Horse'? In the 12th century B.C., Greece declared war on the city of Troy. The dispute erupted when the prince of Troy abducted the queen of Sparta and declared that he wanted to make her his wife, which made the Greeks and especially the queen of Sparta quite furious. The Greeks gave chase and engaged Troy in a 10-year war, but unfortunately for them, all of their efforts went down the drain. Troy was simply too well fortified. In a last effort, the Greek army pretended to be retreating, leaving behind a huge wooden horse. The people of Troy saw the horse, and, thinking it was some kind of a present from the Greeks, pulled the horse into their city, without knowing that the finest soldiers of Greece were sitting inside it...
