AN EYE OPENER !! TIME YOUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE!

When the angel of death came to Joe Smith, to accompany him to his real home, Joe dismissively responded "I am not ready to die as I have so much left to do.

 Do you mind coming back later?"

The Angel replied, sorry your time is up and we must leave now.

Joe enquired, "don't you know who I am? I am Joe Smith, one of the richest men in the world.

The Angel nodded "I know all about you as I do everyone else; now hurry along, Let's go."

Joe pleaded; "if I were to give you 10% of my fortune, which is over a billion dollars, will you turn a blind eye and return a year later?"

The Angel shook his head and replied, "you don't seem to understand Joe. It is time to go"

For the next few moments, Joe tried his best to negotiate with the angel giving away more of his fortune for lesser time. He finally succumbed and offered

"if I were to give you all my fortune, which is 10 billion dollars, will you give me 5 minutes so that I can call my wife and children and tell them that I love them?

I have never told them this and it is very important to me that they know how I feel about them. I also need to seek forgiveness from

2 people that I have hurt the most. All I ask is 5 minutes!"

The Angel paused and looked at Joe curiously and asked, "how long did it take you to make your 10 billion dollars?"

Joe replied, "30 years my friend – it took me a whole 30 years – it's a great deal in exchange for 5 minutes, take it – you will never have to work another day in your life. "

The Angel shook his head and said "I really do not understand you human beings! If you are willing to give up 30 years of your lives' work for 5 minutes, then

why did you not make the most of every minute while you had it? How did you value your time? Where were your priorities? Why did you not say or do the things

 that really mattered?"

The lights went off a second later, Joe was gone. His 10 billion dollars could not buy him the time to do what really mattered.

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...

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...

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. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...
