Working out with discipline

It is common to see in gyms people of different ages and different body times. There are thin guys, regular and muscular or beasts. Of course each category follows a different workout program because it has different needs. Problems start to happen when you see people from one category jump to another, instead of progressing gradually.

Avoiding the Internet scam

It's a dangerous world out there. There are dangerous people around every corner looking for an opportunity to take advantage of you. By being careful you can avoid those people though because you can see the signs most of the time. Then you see the Internet and you realize that things are even worse there. Anonymity and the general someone behind a computer thing makes things difficult. For example you get a phone call from your bank  in the physical world and you are sure of what is happening. You get an e-mail from the same organization,things get suspicious and require double checking.

Mercury poisoning. Can it happen to you?

Tuna is a delicious fish which is also a very useful tool for many people who are interested on getting their appropriate amount of daily protein. Every good thing though has a bad side. The bad side of tuna is that it was found to contain amounts of a metallic element called mercury. To be more precise it was found in many species of the water wildlife.

You may have noticed that when specialists  mention saving money they say that you must have a plan. The truth is that this is the only thing needed in order to have some money on the side for an emergency or , wait for it, for an opportunity

Haircut won't solve anything

The question is whether haircut is a good solution or not and if it’s the only way for salvation.

Anonymous strike in Greece

Before we start I would like to say that I used to be a hacker but then I took an arrow in the knee… Today we had an act of support from Anonymous to the Greek people, by hacking Ministry of Justice web page and uploading the following video and text.

Young people fresh ideas

When I hear conversations between elder people, older relatives and common friends or on TV, there is always a fraise like “Children are the future” or “New people have fresh ideas” or “children will create a better world for all of us” etc. Listening to those words a question emerges, are children really the bright future we wish?
