Know-how : the easy guide to safe Internet shopping

Shopping on the Internet is quick, convenient and easy – however it is also a popular target for cybercriminals. That’s why we have produced a short checklist for your (Internet) shopping list:

checked :

Make sure that the Internet shop is trustworthy – for example: does it have an official seal of quality?

checked :

Only go online with an Internet program that also permits encrypted data transmission, such as SSL. This will prevent external parties from accessing your data during transmission.

checked :

Only enter your data, such as your credit card number, on websites that use encryption. You can identify secure sites by the https:// in the URL - normally this reads http:// - without the “s”.

checked :

Do not allow shop operators to store your bank sort code or credit card data together with your home address. A common data record may make purchasing easier the next time you shop because all your data is already listed the next time you wish to pay, however data thieves can really make a killing with these data records in the worst case scenarios.

checked :

Do not conclude any business without knowing all the costs – that way you won’t be surprised by additional carriage costs, taxes, etc.

checked :

Always read the small print! Shop operators are obliged to indicate what they will and won’t do with your personal data.

checked :

Keep the invoice. This is the only way to ensure you have legal recourse should something go wrong. The best thing to do is to print the invoice and store it safely.

Two Contrasting definitions of love :

1. Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or conceited or proud, love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable, love does not keep record of wrongs, love is not happy with evil, but happy with truth. Love never gives up, its faith, hope and patience, never fail. Love is eternal...There are faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of there is love.
- New Testament : 1 Corinthians 13-

2. Love is temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

Love

Love is very patient and kind

It does not hold grudges
And will hardly even notice
When others do it wrong

What kind of a liar are you?

what of these liars are you?

The priceless gift of life is love
For with the help of God above
Love can change the human race

And make our vision bright and clear
So we can see and rise above
Our pettiness on wings of love
- Helen Steiner Rice

True Friends

They love you but
they are not your lover.
They care for you but
they are not from your family.
They are ready to share your pain but
they are not in your blood relation.
They are friends.

True friend scolds like a Dad.
Cares like a Mom.
Teases like a Sister.
Irritates like a Brother.
And finally loves you more than a lover.

Friends

A Friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in a better and happier place.

A Friend . . .

A Friend ...
(A)ccepts you as you are,(B)elieve in "you",(C)alls you to say "Hi,(D)oesn't give up on you, (E)nvisions the whole of you, (F)orgive your mistakes, (G)ive you unconditionally, (H)elps you, (I)nvites you over, (J)ust "be" with you, (K)eeps you close at heart, (L)oves you for who you are, (M)akes a difference in your life, (N)ever judges, (O)ffers support, (P)icks you up, (Q)uiets you fear, (R)aises your spirits, (S)ays nice things about you, (T)ells you the truth when you need to hear it, (U)nderstands you, (V)alues you, (W)alks beside you, (X)plains things you don't understand, (Y)ields you when you won't listen and ...(Z)aps you back to reality

Heroin Screws You Up

Even if a friend offers you heroin for nothing, there's a piece to pay.
Because once you start, you couldn't soon find yourself unable to stop.
Then your old friends will get fed up with the way it has taken over your life.
You'll see everything in sight (or steal it) to get more and more money for your habit. You'll look ill, you'll lose weight and you'll probably feel like death.
And one day you'll wake up knowing that, instead of your controlling heroin, it now controls you.
So even a friend does offer you heroin, tell them you can't afford it.
Even if it's free.
It can also have same pretty nasty effects on your body.
All of which you can start suffering long before you became addicted.
You'll probably looking ill, losing weight and feeling like death. You'll begin to take heoin not to get high anymore, but just to feel normal.
And as you lose control of your body's health, you could lose control of your mind too.
Until one day, you'll wake up knowing that, instead of your controlling heroin, it now controls you.
So if a friend offers you heroin, use your brain while you still can. And SAY NO.

My Enemy, Myself

An enemy I had, whose face I stoutly strove to know,
For hard he dagged my steps unseen, whereever I
did go.
My plans he baulked, my aims he foiled, he blocked
my onward way.
When for same lofty goal I toiled, he grimly told
me"Nay".
One night, I seized and held him fast, from him
the veil did draw.
I looked upon his face at last and lo - myself
I saw.

Musuhku Adalah Diriku Sendiri

Saya berusaha keras untuk dapat mengenali wajah seorang musuh.
Karena secara diam-diam, dia selalu mengikuti langkah ke mana saya pergi.
Dia menggagalkan rencana saya, merusak sasaran saya dan merintangi jalan kemajuan saya.
Bila saya berjuang untuk suatu cita-cita tinggi, dia senantiasa dengan muka cemberut mengatakan kepada saya, "Jangan".
Pada suatu malam, ketika saya dengan cepat menangkap dan memegangnya, maka terbukalah selubungannya.
Akhirnya, saya dapat menyaksikan wajahnya.
Ternyata Musuhku Adalah Diriku Sendiri.
