What is Nopalea?
Published December 29th, 2011 | 
I was at the gym the other day and a friend and I were talking about our health issues. We got to talking about alternative health remedies and he happened to mention this new health drink, Nopalea, he’d heard about I admitted that I hadn’t heard of it and didn’t know what it was. “What is Nopalea?” I asked.
“It’s this drink they make from prickly pears. You know, cactus fruit.”
Apparently, this drink is loaded with nutrients. My friend said he was thinking about drinking it to help control his blood sugar. But that is only one its reported benefits. It also promotes cardiovascular health, provides relief from inflammation and numbness, helps fight asthma and allergies, and energizes the body.
I am intrigued. I am a sucker for alternative health remedies. Admittedly, some so-called natural health remedies do not work, but many do. Trouble is, you don’t know until you try them since there is very little credible research that either supports or debunks health claims. So I’ll probably try it. I have to stop into the local health food store anyway, so I’ll ask them if they have a bottle of Nopalea. If it does half of what it claims to do to help the body, it will be worth it.
Pennies from Heaven?
Published August 2nd, 2011 | With the economy the way it is now, it is very tempting to get sucked into get-rich-quick schemes. Investing in penny stocks is just one of many. Penny stocks are stocks priced cheap — usually below $5. Because they are so cheap, would-be investors are often willing to overlook the risk involved in investing in small and often unstable companies.
Don’t get me wrong, it is possible to make money on penny stocks. There are some very successful investors who have made a fortune on penny stocks. However, there’s a reason brokers are legally bound by government regulations to warn potential investors of the risks.
That’s why you should be wary of come-ons promising the “hottest penny stocks right now.”
When responding to any advice to invest in a particular stock, do not simply read the advice and assume it is accurate. Research the company. Is the company growing? Is its product or service in-demand? Or has the company essentially crapped-out?

Part of the computer privacy.

4. How to create strong passwords that hackers can not break?
We use passwords for daily access to our files, e-mail accounts, bank accounts, Twitter and Facebook accounts, and hundreds of other services. It ’s very tempting to use a password for all accounts and make quick and easy to remember. This has a devastating impact on our security and privacy. If you think you have something to hide, think again. In most cases, passwords are hacked to use a computer is a spam bot to steal money and personal information, infect your computer from viruses and spyware and so on. Learn to avoid the following low and easy to crack passwords:
* The passwords and default passwords generic. Examples: manager director, guest user, password, password, ILOVEYOU, 2010, etc. These are the first passwords that are judged by software piracy.
* Significant words or names. Examples: sandbox, NY, lion, John, Mary, United States, love, myspouse, dragon, etc., can easily break the dictionary-assisted cracking tools.
* The words or names with numbers. Examples: john123, pass123, 123456, number1, abc123, 654 321, so that it can break easily automated cracking tools.
* My name, date of birth or similar information. They are used like a password, and are easily broken. For example, if the password is an anniversary that few hundreds or thousands (if the year is included) possible combinations of passwords are very weak. Learn how to create a random password of these rules:
* Select "random" letters and numbers. It seems random, but only at first sight. Numerous studies have shown that humans are not very good at random – I always try to spread things too uniform, which is not random behavior.
* Keyboard "Random" in the dark. This is slightly better than chance, but still pretty random.
* Random password generators online. Much better than the two previous options, but there are two major drawbacks. First, it is possible that the passwords generated can be stored on a malicious website, or someone can listen on your connection and intercept passwords generated. Another major problem is the quality of random number generators, which are often not up to it. Many of them were taken innocently and gives much less than the combinations are theoretically possible (no more than a few tens or hundreds of millions of which were in no way a password – see box above paragraph).
* Special programs for generating random passwords. Best choice, as duly signed and reliable.
