There are many hackers online in the internet some act good while others carry out to trick people for money.isn't it? I put my yahoo mail a "sign in seal" to protect from hacker.What is a sign in seal? It is a secret message or image that you create to protect your yahoo account from phishing.Phishing means to steal your password and personal account information.Phishers create fake website similar to yahoo to trick in disclosing user name and password.How to create a "sign in seal" ?
Go to yahoo mail site and you will notice in the log in area "sign in seal" in the upper right corner.

Create a text seal... Type a short, secret message for this computer
21 character max

* Create a unique message that everyone using this computer will recognize—for example, your street address.
* Don't include your ID or password!

Upload an image... Select an image from this computer to use

* Choose a photo that everyone using this computer will recognize.
* It can be JPEG, JPG or GIF and should be under 2MB in size.
* Tip: Use a close-up that will look good when at small size.

Note.If you have two or more personal computer you should create one sign in seal in each computer.

My colleague e- mail was hacked by an unknown person.He was move to Italy for a couple months .He always keep in touch to his workmates.His good friend receive an e-mail from him asking a favor to send 10 pieces of mobile cards and pay it through money transfer so my workmate buy and send the cards after work.Then she send an e-mail using company mail to inform that she already text the card numbers.The later got shocked!His three friends from Philippines complain him about the payment of the cards.They believe that it was really him because of the pictures.The hacker also use the yahoo messenger to explain and give instructions clearly in sending the card number and with web cam showing the image of my colleague.Who would be blame here? nothing...maybe that image is only recorded.Let's secure our e-mails now!

Solar Roadways


I am reading a solar news regarding the release of fund from U.S. DOT proposing to replace roads with solar panels.I cannot believe it! If this project will be successful it would be a good news for us who are working in a solar company.But how solar work if it was covered by snow ?lol.I believe United States have terrible snow for a couple of months.This is an intelligent work.The road will be embedded with heating element in the surface to prevent snow and ice build up providing for faster winter driving.Replacing of asphalt road and parking lots into solar roadway panels will a major step toward halting climate change aside from that the road can sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to slow down.The fully electric vehicles can recharge energy along the roadway and parking lots.This is really great project!

I decided to withdraw a money in the atm machine.I fall in line in the bank atm machine.It takes me 15 minutes already standing in line.I patiently waited my turn to use the atm machine as my turn come the machine becomes unavailable.There is no more cash in the volt to dispense.whew! I feel upset because parents badly needed the money to buy for medicine.I was sitting down in the bench nears the atm machine waiting until it will be online for cash withdrawal. I heard a woman and her daughter talking about "over the counter".The means to withdraw money from atm card in the bank which the atm account opened.I got an idea from the them but I go to another atm machine unfortunately it was also unavailable.The only atm machine working is Metrobank.I do not want to withdraw money in Metrobank because they will charge me in dollar rate.What a bad luck day!I decided to try "over the counter".I go to the bank branch where the company open our atm account and ask in the information desk.The girl handed me a withdrawal slip form to fill up.She told me to fall in line in the teller to get the money.well, thanks to the two girls!

How to Marcot a Plant ?

I bought a marcot kalamansi tree for my garden .I am curious the procedure in marcotting a plant.I read a clip about marcottage or "air- layering".
Here is the procedure :
1.Girdle or strap the stem of a tree usually branch into two cuts 1/2 or 1 inch apart.
2.Peel the bark off between the two cuts leaving the bare stem.
3.Then wrap a peatmoss or potting soil into the cut area holding it in a place with plastic or aluminum foil.
4.Keep the cut area moist and dark so that the roots will begun to grow from the bark at the top of the strap or girdled area
5.Remove all of the bark and begin to heal of the cut area

Trees will tend to form a fibrous root system from air layers rather than typical tap root system.

I will try this procedure in guava tree.

The neighbor give us a three big bags of soil in excess of their garden. The cousin ask help from me to bring the soil in the yard.We make our own garden too.We bought pieces of hollow blocks to fence in.The goal of cultivating is to plant something that we can use for cooking our main dish.What is our main dish? It is "tinolang isda" in bisaya and "kinilaw" .I bought a marcot kalamansi or citrus tree.The cousin ask a lemon grass or "tanglad" popular bisayan name in good samaritan gay neighbor.I bought a vine spinach or "alugbati" in the market. The garden is not yet complete.We will have to plant a pepper , malunggay or any green leafy vegetables .If we crave to eat "tinolang isda" it is easy to get ingredients for cooking.Everybody in the house will be responsible to watered the plants daily .I told them that it is an order :-) I want them to grow healthy !
