Health Benefits of Omega-3

Omega-3 is comprised of three kinds of fatty acids: α-linolenic acid (ALA) (found in plant oils), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (both commonly found in marine oils). All three have many therapeutic benefits, the main ones being:
Reducing the likeliness of heart disease – DHA reduces the levels of fats in the blood (triglycerides) and prevents it from lining the arterial walls. As a result, the chances of contracting heart diseases such as arteriosclerosis and heart attacks decrease considerably. In several studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe, it was found that regularly eating Omega-3-rich fish reduces the chances of developing heart diseases by 50%, as well as reduce the chances of a reoccurring episode.

Helps in treating chronic and internal inflammations – Omega-3 has potent anti-inflammatory properties, so consuming it can help treat various inflammations, such as arthritis. It also aids the activity of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Mood enhancement and reduction of depression symptoms – Omega-3 acids are natural antidepressants that help in mood enhancement, reduce symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression.

Reduction of Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder (ADHD) – Children and adults dealing with ADHD should consume more Omega-3, as it helps improve your cognitive capacity in areas such as learning, memory, and focus.

Treatment for Alzheimer’s and dementia – In the long-term, regular consumption of Omega-3 may serve to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s and dementia, and has restorative effects in cases of aging-related memory-loss.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1.

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
