 Granted, some men suffer from low self-esteem, which isn’t usually something you can just get over with a barside pep-talk. Perhaps the best way to feel better about yourself is to eat right and commit to a workout regimen. Slimming down, sticking to a schedule, and watching yourself set goals and meet them helps you glow with self-respect, even if you have to fake it sometimes.
Just to be clear: Working out doesn’t imply that you have to look like The Rock to meet people. If you don’t have the perfect body, don’t worry. It’s more important to just be presentable. Get a good haircut. Buy the right shoes. Wear nice-fitting clothes. Taking pride in who you are is another sign of confidence, and that, too, will shine through your shyness. Don’t know where to start? Check out the Barbers Surgeon Guild blog, or stop in and ask about their products or ask for a cleanup so that they can make you look sharp.
“Just go for it, man,” guys often tell each other. Usually, all that does is ramp up the pressure on us shy guys. If you don’t want to talk to anybody tonight, that’s okay. Flirting isn’t a test or a performance. It’s a chance to connect with another person, a good conversation waiting to happen. And if it doesn’t happen, that’s okay, too. Everyone gets rejected now and then, and it’s pretty classy to stay gentlemanly even if she excuses herself. Overcoming shyness takes time. So have fun with it. Eventually, you’ll find the right person – someone else who’s just as weird and unique as you.
We presently play our BUIHL league games out of two different rinks located in Brisbane, Australia.
One is Iceworld Acacia Ridge, which located on Brisbane's southside. The other is Iceworld Boondall and that rink is located on Brisbane's northside.I’ll be frank. I do not like everyone. For example I strongly dislike Josef Mengele, a Nazi medical doctor who tied a Jew’s legs together while she was giving birth so as to see the medical results.
I also do not like Marjorie M. She was the wealthiest woman in the world when I was a child. She sent someone across the huge lake in her customary purple livery costume to my father by fancy motorboat. He, my father, was covered in mud in a pit that he was manually turning into a cesspool and the male servant showed up in a pretty purple costume demanding my father with a dismissive tone of voice.
He had a note to deliver to my Dad from the lady, who had a permanent house staff of forty-two for just herself. My father, when the servant protested to hand it over to a dirty fool in a mud pit, held out his hand and said, I am Earl, the intended recipient.
In shock, the servant handed it over directly into the mud to my father’s filthy hand. Ha-ha!
She was curious about the new neighbors on the lake and wanted to meet my parents. Now let’s get real: This is a woman who fired her chief clothes dresser for not bringing one of her favorite gowns up from her Washington, DC or her Palm Beach home. Then she sent her empty jet back to fetch it with only her pilot and the secondary dresser on board.
Coo-coo — she had the largest private collection of native American art and Tsarist jewels in the world and always married for money — to consolidate fortunes. Her doggy slept in a 17th century French prince’s cradle and she had her silverware meticulously measured to the millimeter for table parties according to Emily Post standards. It took hours to undertake. (Mad brained!)
She’d sit on a raised platform on some sort of throne seat at her parties and summon you via a servant if she wanted a little chat with you. Then she’d dismiss you with a raise of the hand when done. So special … not!
Her servants all knew your names. She had them memorize paired faces and names before parties. Then you’d be personally greeted upon arrival.
Her empty jet came up in winter to the Adirondacks, NY, USA to get lemon ice cream and she opened the dairy, usually open only in the summer, to provide it for her.
The dairymen laughed. How weird to cater to her wishes mid-winter, but for a tremendous sum of money since her guests apparently needed to clean their palates between courses with this lemon concoction!
She spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for maintaining her properties each year. She was meticulous about doing well for herself.
She had a telephone room and charged you for use. So much for her wealth sucked into herself ever more. Her financial grip was tight.
My six year old brother saw a native necklace that he wanted for our mother in one of her cases. It said 2.56 or something like that near the necklace. It had been categorized.
He brazenly went up to her and said that all that he had was two dollars, not $2.56 and wanted it for his mum. Slightly amused, she gave him a little smile with a quickly followed withering look as she glanced away in disgust at his request.
I just can’t see eye to eye with people like her. We’re just too far a part as if from different planets. She’s certainly not from mine.
E. O. Wilson told me once, many years ago that the only way forward is to educate people. Yes, let’s try to educate ding-dongs like her. They need it especially!

Some people are wealthy and inhuman…mostly men and rarely women. Any one exploiting any one is a bad sign and lack of humanity. The wealthy need some compassion and education to look at suffering world. Let them be educated in the most convincing way possible…Cyber-attacks are becoming more common, with a serious IT breach making headlines almost daily. Attackers are constantly trying to exploit any gap in IT systems, applications, and hardware. Because the threat is ongoing, so should the efforts to defend your organization. This post presents three activities to ensure you are doing on an ongoing basis.
Security Information and Event Management refers to software that helps detect cyber security threats, malware, unusual behavior, and suspicious network traffic. The software provides users with insight into their own security systems, and a track record of activities across their infrastructure. SIEM analyzes log and event data in real-time to provide monitoring and incident response. It then collects, analyzes, and reports on the log data.
As with any cybersecurity measure, SIEM can only be successful if used by knowledgeable individuals. After all, a tool is only as useful as the expert that wields it! Due to the nature of technology, SIEM systems generate countless alarms, alerts, and false positives. As a result, all warnings need to be critically assessed by genuine expert analysts. Responding to genuine alerts requires significant expertise. An effective response must be strategized and implemented as quickly as possible in order to enjoy the benefits of the SIEM reporting. The identification of a threat is only useful if the individual notified of that threat knows how to resolve the issue that has been identified.
A patch is a software update comprised of code inserted (or patched) into the code of a program. Typically, a patch is installed into an existing software program. Patches are often temporary fixes between full releases of a software package. Patches can fix software bugs, install new drives, address new security vulnerabilities, software stability issues, and upgrade your software.
The lack of patch management is a problem that many organizations face, leading to vast numbers of security breaches daily. Patch management fixes vulnerabilities on your software and applications that are susceptible to cyber-attacks, helping your organization reduce its security risk. This ensures your software and applications are kept up to date and running smoothly. Patch management can go beyond software bug fixes to also include feature and functionality updates.
When you’re regularly patching vulnerabilities, you’re helping to manage and reduce the risk that exists in your environment, helping protect potential security breaches. If your organization sells a product or service that requires customers to use your technology, you know how important it is that the technology actually works. The process of fixing software bugs helps keep your systems up and running.
Threat intelligence is data that is collected, processed, and analyzed to understand a cyber criminal’s motives, targets, and attack behaviors. Threat intelligence enables us to make faster, more informed data backed security decisions, and fight against cyber criminals. The purpose of cyber threat intelligence is to give companies an in-depth understanding of the threats that pose the greatest risk to their infrastructure and devise a plan to protect their business.
Cyber threat intelligence is the end result of cyber threat analysis. It is a collection of findings that can be used to take action and defend against threats. Rather than manually grant or deny access, track malicious threats, and record previously identified threats, threat intelligence allows for universal actions. For instance, if a file has been identified as malicious, it can be immediately be blocked across all networks globally.
The main objective of threat intelligence is to provide organizations a deeper understanding of what is happening outside their network. Thus, giving them better visibility of the cyber threats that bring the most risk to their infrastructure. By investing in cyber threat intelligence, businesses can access massive threat databases that can improve the efficacy of their solutions. At the end of the day, security solutions are only as strong as the
