Six Steps to Focusing on Your Dreams - by Nick Schultz

Six Steps to Focusing on Your Dreams - by Nick Schultz: "Have you ever heard or read that in order to achieve your dreams you have to focus on them? It certainly sounds easy enough. But if that is the case, then why do people have such a hard time doing it? Maybe it is because people do not really understand the full meaning of the word focus. Let us take a look at the definition.

Focus: To bring to into focus or make clear� focusing a camera.

To concentrate - to focus one's thoughts.

Obviously there are two parts to focusing. First you must clarify, and then you must concentrate. But how do you do this? Let me give you a couple of steps for each."

Koala Kismet - by Emma Snow

Koala Kismet - by Emma Snow: "To gaze into their eyes is to touch tranquility. Perhaps it is because they spend so much of their lives removed from our terrestrial sphere that these creatures can inspire such serenity in just one glance. Perched in the canopy of the tall Eucalyptus forests of Australia, koalas pass their lives unperturbed, nap to nap, meal to meal.

From their poofy tufts of ears to their rounded rumps, koalas resemble stuffed teddy bears, but in actuality, they aren't bears at all. Koalas, like kangaroos and possums, are marsupials, meaning they give live birth to jellybean-sized, embryonic offspring, which climb unaided from the birth canal to its mother's pouch. Protected in the pouch, the baby, called a joey, attaches to its mother's teat and feeds for six to seven months, until it has developed eyes, ears and hair. Then it peeks out at the world for the first time.

Scammers Don't Always Want Your Money - at First! - by Etienne A Gibbs

Scammers Don't Always Want Your Money - at First! - by Etienne A Gibbs: "Sometimes scammers, clever and scheming vultures they are, may not immediately prey on you for your financial contribution. They may have something more deadly in mind - deadly to you, your computer, and the computers of all your friends. Once the scammers establishes a relationship with you, he/she knows that your email address is a 'live' address (one that will give him and others he will sell your address to) so he can secretly then move on to phase two - flooding you and all the other 'live' addresses he obtained with hoaxes and chain letters.

And, sadly, these emails and chain letter emails carry hidden spyware (pieces of coding that will allow the originator to take control of all the computers it touches). The code is so written that even if the email is deleted, it will still work effectively from the Recycle Bin. That's the work of scammer who are also hackers.
