Weekend Snapshot 26: This man in New Orleans

New Orleans street scene

New Orleans street entertainer

You can see this man about any street in New Orleans, with his li’l pup, posing for people to be entertained with his curvy long strides. The white bucket is for his earnings on the street. Good business; you just don’t move any muscle; at the end of the day, his is the last laugh šŸ˜€

Safer Internet for children

Will the Internet be ever safe for children to browse? If there are the so-called growing ā€œChinese army of hackersā€, in contrary, European Union is extending its net safety programme that has started four years ago, to prevent children from inappropriate content and cyber bullying.

The European Commission is spending 55m euros (Ā£42m) on making the net a safer place for children.

That is some price of technology we have to pay.

Typing speed test

Touch Typing: is the fastest way to type in which the typist does not use the sense of sight, or does not look at the keyboard, but rather use the finger muscle memory.

In the present technology, with its endless possibilities, do you think we still need the keyboard for some years? Who knows what once-unthinkable things science brings. While that does not yet happen, “it is worth the time you invest in learning this essential skill” of speed typing to easily achieve an ideal writing speed of 70 words per minute.

Some of the suggested ways of improving typing speeds in touch typing are:

– Ensuring a correct posture
– Exerting only the correct amount of force required ie. not to bang on the keys
– Taking frequent breaks to relax and improve accuracy
– Using an optimized keyboard layout such as Dvorak or Colemak.

I am 25 words off the ideal. My fingers are not as dextrous šŸ™ when it comes to typing as Francine. Passing this to Debbie.

Whole life insured

There was mail yesterday from the bank offering insurance privilege and discount. Hubby said he does not need it anymore for he has whole life insurance already from his company. This insurance from one dollar globe also takes care for whole life coverage for children as for adults in its billions of insurance in force, with benefits that don’t cancel and reduce over time.

Legal steroids

We have seen in the news that some athlete was questioned for allegedly using steroids. What’s with steroids that made them end up in court? It is due to their potentially dangerous side effects and because they give the user an unfair advantage, but that’s for athletes. But, if you are to treat delayed puberty or abnormal growth and development, some types of impotence or sexual dysfunction, and wasting of the body caused by HIV infection or other diseases, then legal steroids might answer them. Legal in the sense that you are not supposed to abuse it.
