Protect your online assets

The internet has become one of, if not the most popular way of conducting transactions in the world today. It presents the opportunity for individuals to complete different types of transactions without having to even leave their homes. This has proven to be an advantage for people who are incapacitated, ill, or those who have illnesses which render them incapable of moving around as much as they want to or used to. As long as they are able to use a computer or the internet, they can complete their transactions. For each transaction that is done online, a password is required to protect the information of the user on the site. These passwords can become lost, hacked into, or stolen if they are not protected. In addition to this, trusted family members or friends should be able to gain access in the event of something happening to the owner of these accounts. Apart from ensuring that you leave a will that distributes your property to your family members in the event of your demise, y...

Why I Traded My Wine for Weed

As the world we live in becomes more frantic and the reality and responsibilities of the longer work day and week continue to increase. It becomes more important to figure out a way to de-stress, to take a breath and to change the pace from the frenetic one to a slower more laid back one that is more conducive to relaxing, especially after work and on weekends. For some it is easier said than done, and that may explain the growing trend among professionals and women in particular to have a glass of wine at the end of the day to decompress.   Added to this is the fact that it has been said that a glass of wine is good for the heart (just look at the French). All of this may add to the growing popularity of trading wine for weed. While wine continues to be the leading choice for recreation and relaxing, that is changing. One of the reasons could be the hangovers that follow the glass of wine. Inevitably, one glass of wine with or after dinner turns into a bottle of wine and you ...

On Smoking Weed and Elon Musk

Marijuana is known to all by different names; Weed, Ganja, Spliff, herb, grass, pot, and the list goes on. For many people, this is known as a recreational drug, but for others, its medicinal properties come to the fore. Legalizing a small quantity is perhaps the smartest thing that could ever have happened, because there are die-hard marijuana smokers who would literally die while smoking this plant. Marijuana is called by street names, cultural street names and geographical terms. As with everything else, there are good and bad with smoking the herb. Many have thrown caution to the wind and just indulge in all the highs and lows that it has to offer.

When plans go awry

My cousin Chris is a good man who was like many other men in the world. He loved life, women and drinking. His hobby was to spend his hard-earned money on women and alcohol. He partied hard and drank even harder. He was jovial, hefty and had bronze-colored skin, with wavy brown hair and a sly smile. He was not academically challenged, but had not completed college because of what he called “social constructs.” I was sure he had, and still has no idea of where these words came from. He lived alone, but was a few blocks away from his mom’s house, where he had resided prior to that. Chris decided at one point in his life to find a woman, who would be so influential, that he would stop drinking and partying, just to please her. Most women found him annoying, but tolerated him nonetheless. Before he moved from his mother’s house, Chris went to a store one Saturday and met a woman who told him her name was Jennifer. She was attractive, intelligent and had a good body. He instantly felt a ...

Does a Blackberry or any other Smartphone affect your chances of performing your tasks at work?

A Blackberry Smartphone is now a staple, there is at least one in most homes. It seems the best thing since sliced bread. There is no age barrier to owning a Blackberry. Someone once told me that a Blackberry is not a Blackberry if it’s not hooked up to a service. You are not allowed to own an Blackberry if you are not with a service and it is unheard of if you are not able to post on the social network showing that you do own one. I sometimes wonder if there was a time that people were able to operate without a Blackberry Smartphone. For me, it is one of the most distracting gadgets to have been created.

Most people who own one are not able to turn it off, as they don’t want to miss anything. How can that be healthy? How do you get work done if you constantly have to check your phones every minute you hear a ping? For the people who work and travel and u...
