Don't let yourself down because you're not that rich like the 1% who owns the money, your voice (vote) is equal to theirs, <a href="http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/">We the 99 %</a> are the majority in each country. Together we can unite and lead step by step to the change we want to see in our world!<br />
<br />
You're the voice, try and understand it<br />
Make a noise and make it clear,<br />
We're not gonna sit in silence<br />
We're not gonna live with fear,<br />
This time, we know we all can stand together<br />
With the power to be powerful<br />
Believing we can make it better<br />
We're all someone's daughter<br />
We're all someone's son<br />
How long can we look at each other<br />
Down the barrel of a gun?<br />

Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?<div><br /></div><div><b>Hence this "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_case_of_emergency" title="In case of emergency" rel="wikipedia">ICE</a>" (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_case_of_emergency" title="In case of emergency" rel="wikipedia">In Case of Emergency</a>) Campaign </b><br /><br />The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population" title="Population" rel="wikipedia">population</a>, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).<br /><br />The idea was thought up by a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramedic" title="Paramedic" rel="wikipedia">paramedic</a> who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital" title="Hospital" rel="wikipedia">hospital</a> Staff would be able to <b>quickly contact the right person</b> by simply <b>dialing the number you have stored as "ICE"</b>.<br /><br />For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!<br /><br />Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today!<br />Please forward this.

Use a password that has at least 8 characters, and for your high-security accounts, security experts recommend even longer passwords: at least 14 characters.<br />
</li>
<li><b>Mix your password up.</b> Use a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols—the more types of characters you use in your password, the harder it is to guess.<br />
<br />
<b>To illustrate:</b> For an 8-character password with all lowercase letters, a cracking tool would be able to run through every possible combination in 2.42 days. By mixing in uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols, the tool would take 210 years to run through every combination.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Use text that's not in a dictionary.</b> A <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking" rel="wikipedia" title="Password cracking">password cracking</a> program can check millions of dictionary words in seconds. Avoid "real" words that can be found in a dictionary.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Change passwords regularly.</b> Change your passwords on a regular basis. Every 60-90 days is the recommendation of most security advisors; you may want to change them more or less often depending on the security of the information the password is protecting.</li>

</li>
<li><b>Don't use easy-to-guess patterns.</b> Don't use a sequence of characters (like 123456 or abc123), repeated characters (ioioio) or patterns that use characters that are close together on the keyboard (qwerty).<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Don't use your name or other personal characteristics.</b> Don't use your first or last name, and don't use terms associated with your personal life that others may know, like the name of your spouse or children, names of pets, license plate numbers, and phone numbers.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Don't use the same passwords for every account.</b> The risk in using the same password for multiple accounts is that if someone figures out one password, that person now has access to everything else. For the utmost in security, use a different password for every password-protected program, web site, and account that you use. It's particularly critical that you not re-use your email account password on web sites because once it’s compromised, the door is opened to all your accounts that have your email address on file.</li>

Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curriculum" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Curriculum">curriculum</a>.<br /><br /><b>Rule Three - There are no mistakes, only lessons.</b><br />Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much as a part of the process as the experiments that work.<br /><br /><b>Rule Four - The lesson is repeated until learned.</b><br />Lessons will be repeated to you in various forms until you have learned them. When you have learned them, you can go on to the next lesson.<br /><br /><b>Rule Five - Learning does not end.</b><br />There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.<br /><br /><b>Rule Six - "There" is no better than "here".</b><br />When your "there" has become "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will look better to you than your present "here".<br /><br /><b>Rule Seven - Others are only mirrors of you.</b><br />You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.<br /><br /><b>Rule Eight - What you make of your life is up to you.</b><br />You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you.<br /><br /><b>Rule Nine - Your answers lie inside of you.</b><br />All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.<br /><br /><b>Rule Ten - You will forget all this at birth.</b><br />You can remember it if you want by unraveling the double helic of inner-knowing.<br /><br />In my opinion these 10 Rules for being human are true as we experience them mostly on a daily basis in our own life. Some of them have been eye-opener like Rule 2 - 4 and 7.<br />They will help us understand that a positive life is much more appreciated for ourselves, even when life gives us several lemons to chew on.<div>The more often we take action in our life, the faster we can transform these lemons into lemonade and succeed easier in the following given lessons. Usually everything is given to us for a purpose, sometimes the purpose just gets understandable for us after several years.</div><div><br />So take your life easy, it will be more worth!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">What do you think about the 10 Rules of being human?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">What did you learn from the 10 Rules of being human?</span></b></div> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top:10px;height:15px"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=c4026314-462c-4aff-aca5-39f7889873bc" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" style="border:none;float:right" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div></div>cornymanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03882774092714294260noreply@blogger.com1
