13 Tips To Make A Good Relationship Great

Image
Do a Google search on how to get your best body and you’ll be inundated with pages of training tips. For those who want to take that same, proactive approach to creating your best relationship, I have your “exercise regimen” below. 1. Do the things you did the first year you were dating. As the months and years roll on, we tend to slink into our proverbial sweatpants and get lazy in our relationship. We lose our patience, gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding and the general effort we once made toward our mate. Think back to the first year of your relationship and write down all the things you used to do for your partner. Now start doing them again. 2. Ask for what you want. Over time, we assume that our partner knows us so well that we don’t need to ask for what we want. What happens when we make this assumption? Expectations are set and just as quickly, they get deflated. Those unmet expectations can leave us questioning the viability of our partnership and connection. Keep i

Know if your PC is infected with Viruses, Trojans or other Malware

Image
The reason why most computer malware are so deadly is because many users fail to recognize whether they have been infected or not. Had they detected the infection at an earlier stage, the damage caused could have been greatly reduced. As each virus is programmed differently, it becomes difficult to identify a virus outbreak. However, there are some general symptoms that make it easy to detect an infected computer. Here are some of them:- 1) Programs won't start or crash suddenly: If some system programs like the task manager or registry editor have suddenly stopped working or crash randomly without any visible reason, it is more than likely that your computer has got some form of worm that is attaching itself to various programs and thus, corrupting their code. A virus modifying registry entries to prevent these programs from running could also cause this. 2) Unusual Network Traffic: If even after closing your browser and other applications that may use the internet, you see th

Phone Etiquette: Six Mistakes You Should Avoid

Image
Everyone everywhere is talking on their cellphones, and everyone everywhere has committed some form of bad phone etiquette in their lifetime. The use of cellphones is always on the rise, and more people are finding new ways to use their phone in an unattractive and ignorant way. The following are a few things that cell phone users do that is considered bad phone etiquette. 1. Talking too loud. A cell phone is just a phone. There is no need to raise your voice while on it. The people on the other end can hear you just fine. If you are on the phone in a public place (which is already a big no-no), you need to keep your volume to a minimum. Other people in your area don't want to be distracted by your conversation, and they also don't want to know the intimate details that you're sharing about your life. 2. Allowing your phone to ring during special events. Turning your cell phone off or on silent when entering a special event needs to become second nature. If you are goin

6 Ways To Spot Fake Reviews Online

Image
Seventy-nine percent of purchase decisions are influenced by online reviews – so it’s easy to see why businesses are so concerned about their reviews, and why some companies are willing to pay to get good ones. You don’t want biased reviews clouding your judgment, so here are six ways you can spot (and avoid) fake reviews with ease. 1) Check the Name The reviewer’s name can reveal a lot. If it’s more like a screen name than a real person, like Harvey88 rather than Harvey, consider it suspicious. If you happen to notice that the name is also very similar to the name of an important person in the company or to the name of the product itself, beware. 2) Check the Time If you see several good reviews in a row, check their timestamps. If the reviews were written very close together, especially within minutes of each other or in the same hour, they may have been written by the same person. It may also be a sign of fakeness if you see lot of reviews written at the same time on separate da

How to Deal with Unwanted Phone Calls

Image
Did you know that the most unused feature on a smartphone is the phone itself? We just don’t call each other the way we used to. Instead we text, email, or Facebook to get in touch. This is the reason your phone doesn’t ring very often. When it does, you usually know who is calling you thanks to caller ID. Caller ID allows you to screen every phone call and only answer when you want to talk. If you don’t, you can ignore the call and return it when it’s more convenient to you. But what if just ignoring the call isn’t an option? Or what if you don’t know who is calling and you answer the phone only to find out that it’s someone you really don’t want to talk to? Here are some tips on how you can deal with unwanted phone calls. We all know what it’s like to have a telephone conversation with someone who just won’t shut up. We make polite comments of agreement like, “Mmhmm,” and “I see,” but we aren’t really listening that closely. We’re just thinking about how we can put an end to the co

Why do we dream? Find out now

Image
If dreams are the royal road to the unconscious, as Freud claimed, then that route may be a highway full of tortuous twists and turns—leading nowhere. But it affords some spectacular vistas along the way. By turns, dreams have been deemed prophecies of the future, full of meaning—if only someone could figure out what it is—or the effluence of nerve cells randomly unwinding from a busy day. Once considered a hallmark of the periodic surges of brain activity known as rapid-eye-movement sleep, dreaming now seems somewhat less bundled up; at least 25 percent of dreams are scattered through other parts of the night. Dreaming has been seen as critical for learning, or at least important for solving problems—or as nice but unnecessary. It’s an emblem of mental illness—or a safety shield deflecting it. The newest switchback on dreams comes from South African neuroscientist Mark Solms. Maybe, says Solms, we’ve been confusing cause and effect. Dreams, he suggests, are not a by-product of sleep

How To Overcome Porn Addiction And Get Your Life Back

Image
Porn addiction is as real as any other chronic dependency. Sure, you’re not injecting or ingesting anything into your body. But chronic porn viewing does have a physical effect (exhaustion of dopamine release in the brain). And the time spent ‘ingesting’ porn is mind-numbing and leaves you exhausted. After hours of viewing porn on his computer, Jeremy couldn’t ‘switch off’ his mind enough to sleep. Internet porn addiction, like online gambling, is easier to fall into, because what once involved going out and meeting others face-to-face can now be done easily and covertly at the click of a button. This availability makes it all the more potentially devastating. So why does porn addiction happen? Am I really addicted to pornography? He sat there in his room and wept. “I’ve stopped going out. I’m scared I’ll get discovered doing it at work. I don’t even want to see my girlfriend! It’s ruining my life!” Jeremy wasn’t talking about alcohol or crack cocaine or marijuana. He was talking a

Do You Know The Dangers Of Drinking Cold Water? Read Now!

As rewarding as cold water can be, in hot weathers like ours, experts say that it comes with serious health consequences. They warn that one may need to hands off drinking cold water regularly due to its negative impact on the heart and the digestive system. Consultant nutritionist, Dr. Tosin Akinsanya, says even though the body cannot have too much of water, it complains when it has too much of cold water. According to the food and healthy living expert, cold water is at a temperature that contradicts the overall temperature within the body system. Akinsanya says that normal body temperature of the body is between 34 and 37 oC while that of cold water is usually between zero and two degrees Celsius and this sudden change in temperature levels, which usually happens when we drink cold water, shocks the body, leading to chronic diseases in those who drink it over time. “The body is made up of 70 per cent of warm water.

If you want to live up to 150 years, give up sex – Prof. Alex Zhavoronkov

Image
Professor Alex Zhavoronkov , director of the Biogerontology Research Foundation, says humans could reach 150 if they gave up sex . He states that a life without intercourse will enable us to live “far, far longer.”The 36-year-old professor said “I have sex occasionally, but not on a permanent basis and usually with fellow scientists,” ” Because otherwise, and I’m very sorry for saying it, post-coital interactions can be quite boring.”Delaying marriage and reproduction is a by-product of shifting your life expectancy horizons,” he told Mail Online. “It would slow me up and distract me from my research. When you’re planning on living 150 years, marriage is a big decision. You’re in for the long term!’ He recommends instead that we exercise regularly, including sit-ups and press-ups and concentrate on eating less.

How To: Increase A Laptop's Battery Life

Image
When you’re constantly on the move and rely on your laptop to perform when you most need it, you need to be sure that your battery won’t suddenly drain on you, leaving you in the lurch. If this sounds like a situation that you frequently find yourself in, perhaps you should look at upgrading to a laptop battery with a longer life. But if that step sounds a bit drastic, there may be a few things that you can do to prolong your battery’s power, when you don’t have access to a mains supply. Turn down the brightness of your screen Most modern laptops allow you to control the brightness of the screen. As you might expect, the brighter the screen, the more power is required. Dim the screen and you could find that your battery lasts a lot longer. Shut down programs that aren’t being used It’s often the case that you’ll have a number of programs running, yet you’re only using one or two of them. Although you might not see them running, they could be running in the background, adding to you

Ways to Write a Killer First Sentence

Image
It's a writer's worst nightmare. The blank page. Whether you're writing a book, a blog, an article or an essay for school, you can encounter the same problem. You have ideas but you just can't think of a way to get started. You have to grip the reader from the start, and that challenge can be pretty daunting. It might help you to break down what makes a good first sentence. Dos and Don’ts of Writing a First Sentence Do Make It Personal Unless you're writing an academic thesis, bring your personality into your writing. Write in first person. Even better, address your reader directly as “you.” It will draw them in and make them feel a part of what you’re writing, as if you’re speaking directly to them (because you are). Don't Start with, “This Article is About…” It should go without saying, but it's an easy trap to fall into when you can’t think of anything to write. You don’t need to tell them what you’re writing about; they’ll be able to figure that out

The Most Common Authentication Methods Used Today

Image
The issue for network admins is that they are playing a continuous state of "catch-up," as newer exploits are developed by highly sophisticated cyber gangs in order to keep their profitable fraud rings going as soon as earlier exploits are patched. Smart phones and tablets present an even greater challenge, as most of these devices lack the same malware defenses as their more robust cousins, desktops and laptops. All of this has led many businesses to shift to more robust authentication and authorization schemes, such as: Transaction Authentication Simply put, transaction authentication looks for logical flaws when comparing known data about a user with the details of the current transaction. For example, if a user that lives in the U.S. purchases several big ticket items while logged in from an IP address determined to be from a foreign country, this is cause for concern and would require extra verification steps to ensure the purchase is not fraudulent.

Apple is overdoing a security check by bricking people’s iPhones and iPads

Image
Apple is getting flack for a security check in recent iPhone and iPad models that can disable all use of a device when it has been fixed by a non-Apple-certified repair person. Repairs to the home button on an iPhone or iPad, or even screen replacement—a relatively common procedure—can trigger the appearance of an “Error 53” message and disable any further usage. Apple says this error is the result of a security procedure that checks whether a Touch ID sensor in the home button—which enables fingerprint recognition—has been tampered with. “If iOS finds a mismatch, the check fails and Touch ID, including for Apple Pay use, is disabled,” Apple explained in a statement. “This security measure is necessary to protect your device and prevent a fraudulent Touch ID sensor from being used.” The risk is apparently that someone could tamper with the home button and circumvent the fingerprint ID system for unlocking a device or paying with it. That is reasonable, as John Gruber points out o

How to Choose Foods That Help Maintain Your Beauty

Image
A great smile, radiant hair, skin, and nails, and a slim figure can give you a sense of confidence when going out. The beauty industry sells a wide range of products that promise eternal beauty, yet nothing makes you as beautiful on the outside as feeding your inside with a healthy diet. Choose wholesome, healthy foods to help beautify your outside and make you healthier overall. 1. Drink Green tea :  study of Japanese men was done on the effect of green tea on gums. Drinking at least a cup of green tea once a day was shown to ward off gum disease. It's likely because green tea contains the antioxidant catechin, which can help reduce inflammation. Remember that green tea has caffeine, which can keep you up at night. Drink it earlier in the day if you find that's a problem for you. The more tea you drink, the more the benefits for your gums increase. However, be aware that drinking too much green tea can have side effects, too, such as causing stomach discomfort or even an i

How to Know if a Person Truly Loves You

Image
There's no guaranteed way to know if a person truly loves you, but there are a few signs to read to figure out what is on the mind of your loved one. You'd like to know if the person you love truly loves you back, then you have to pay attention to how the person acts, what they say, and what they do when you're together. Though love may mean something different to every person, there are many ways to tell if a person truly loves you instead of just having a crush on you, liking you a lot, wanting your money, or just being momentarily infatuated with you. If you want to know if that person truly loves you, just follow these steps. 1. See if the person can truly be himself around you. Part of being love means being completely open to the other person. If you find yourself seeing a whole different side that the person doesn't show the public, then that may be love. If the man you're with is pretty serious or polite in public, but when you're alone, he shows his g
