Cum scapam de coruptia din Romania?

 Coruptia este un fenoment care ne afecteaza pe toti intr-o forma sau alta. Ea poate fi gasita in multe domenii, incepand cu domeniul medical si incheind cu domeniul politic. In timp, coruptia duce la saracie pentru majoritatea cetatenilor si la lipsa de empatie, intrucat ceilalti, constientizand fenomenul coruptiei larg raspandite si dorind sa evolueze, nu vor mai face nimic fara a avea un avantaj material. 


Educatie

In primul rand, educatia este bariera numarul 1 contra coruptiei. Cetatenii educati si corect informati isi cunosc drepturile si obligatiile si pot lua atitudine atunci cand li se pretinde spaga, cand unii sunt amendati fiindca nu poarta masca iar altii nu, si asa mai departe.


Atitudine Civica

Coruptia infloreste cu mult spor atunci cand atitudinea civica lipseste. Daca noi nu luam atitudine cand suntem martorii unei scene de coruptie, daca nu sesizam organele abilitate sau pe cei in functie de conducere si nu ne ajutam intre noi atunci cand situatia o impune, nimeni dintre oamenii cinstiti nu va avea de castigat.


Votul 

Votul (oferit in cunostinta de cauza) este o arma extrem de importanta pentru democratie. De asemenea, el ajuta foarte mult in lupta impotriva coruptiei. Asadar, inainte de a merge la vot, studiati fiecare partid si istoria fiecarui candidat in parte. Daca vreunul dintre ei are condamnari legate de coruptie sau foste dosare penale, refuzati sa il votati. CV-urile candidatilor sunt publice, asadar studiati-le si alegeti-i pe cei cu un istoric curat, ci nu pe cei care au avut doar functii de conducere datorita relatiilor. Puteti folosi si motoarele de cautare pentru a afla mai multe despre istoria unui candidat.

Cum facem sa ne concentram pe partea pozitiva a lucrurilor

 De multe ori viata poate parea un fiasco; putem avea impresia ca nimic nu e la locul lui. Totusi, chiar si in aceste momente dificile, este important sa vedem partea pozitiva a lucrurilor. Intotdeauna este ceva pozitiv de gasit, chiar daca acesta consta in simplul fapt ca am avut ce sa mancam si unde sa dormim intreaga zi, lucruri pe care destui oameni din lumea intreaga nu le au. Asadar, amintiti-va sa ganditi pozitiv, iar viata va va rasplati!

Autobuzele STB Hybrid București au wifi dar nimeni nu îl poate accesa

Este complet normal ca un autobuz sa beneficieze de wifi in 2020. Asadar, noile autobuze STB Hybrid care circula zilele acestea prin Bucuresti pe liniile 123, 105, 131 sunt dotate si cu aceasta functionalitate Wi-fi si sunt inscriptionate clar cu simbolul wi-fi pe ele. Problema sta in faptul ca nimeni nu il poate accesa. 

Mi s-a intamplat sa circul saptamana aceasta de cel putin 5 ori cu un autobuz hybrid si niciodata nu am putut accesa wi-fi ul pe el intrucat acesta era parola si nimeni nu stia parola. Am sunat chiar si la call-center-ul STB, mi-a raspuns o tipa care mi-a spus initial ca nu stie parola si trebuie sa sune la garaj, iar apoi mi-a spus ca de la garaj i s-a transmis ca wi-fi-ul este fara parola (fals).

Asadar, stau si ma intreb, ce mama lor de informaticieni au setat acele hubspots pe noile autobuze hybrid ca nu au fost in stare sa treaca si parola undeva pe o coala, care ulterior sa fie lipite si in autobuze? Era asa mare efortul? Sau poate s-au gandit ca oricum majoritatea au 4G nelimitat si nu au nevoie de wi-fi. Ei bine, unii oameni mai circula si cu tableta sau laptopul dupa ei, iar aceasta functie wi-fi ar fi chiar utila. Eu zic sa ii zapacim cu telefoanele pana se decid sa ne spuna si noua parola.

Why is there free hosting but no free offshore hosting?


If you are a website owner, then you know that choosing the right hosting is extremely important. In the absence of hosting, your website will only be available offline. And what’s the purpose of a website if it cannot be found by users? Next, we will discuss the differences in terms of hosting types so that you can make an informed decision.

Why is there free hosting?

Few things are free in this world, and they should truly be appreciated as the gems they are when found. However, when something is offered for free, it’s usually part of a marketing strategy. Think of a design company who is handing out free leather bracelets. They are either trying to become more renowned, or they will tax you a lot more for shipping. That is because they still have to make a profit, even if they give out free stuff.

The same goes for hosting. When a company is offering free hosting, they are usually trying to get their name on everyone’s lips. This offer can be available for a shorter period of time or for a longer, indefinite time-frame. In the case of long-term free hosting, the company will usually place ads on your website. There are also some cases when there will be no ads. However, you will receive frequent emails trying to up-sell you a superior hosting plan. Some companies can also sell your data to third parties so you risk receiving more spam in your inbox.

Why is there no free offshore hosting?

Offshore hosting is considered superior for a number of reasons. First of all, it provides excellent privacy as no one in your area or country will be able to visit your physical server location. Secondly, you will be shielded from your country’s laws and regulations. For instance, if your country does not allow hosting of copyrighted materials on a server, yet Taiwan allows it, having your offshore hosting in Taiwan means that you won’t have to respond to your local authorities by any means.

Offshore hosting is also more secure in front of attackers, since the servers benefit from different protection methods which are not typically available in local hosting. Therefore, hackers will have a truly hard time penetrating your website. Finally, there is more bandwidth at your disposal, based on the plan that you choose.

With all these benefits in mind, it’s quite easy to see why no one is offering free offshore hosting. Advanced servers on faraway countries are not cheap to buy and maintain. Plus, hosting companies need to make a profit as well; otherwise they wouldn’t be in business anymore.

Worried that other people online know your exact location? You should be!

We are currently going through tough times due to this new COVID-19 pandemic, so it's no wonder that almost everyone is online these days. However, it comes without saying that staying online for so long comes with risks, and not only related to your eyes. One thing you should be aware of is that while browsing the internet or downloading files, your location is exposed at all times. You may say "Oh that's not for me, I have antivirus so I am well protected". But that affirmation is far from the truth, since antivirus doesn't prevent others from seeing your location and taking advantage of it. So let's see some ways in which your online privacy can be affected:

- Downloading torrent files

Almost everyone who is connected to the Internet has downloaded a Torrent file at least once. However, in USA and a number of other countries, doing such thing is prosecuted under the law. You may be surprised to find some high fines arriving to your address, or even being faced with penal charges if you currently have the files in your computer for others to leech. FBI and other agencies will detect your exact location based on IP Address, and there is no other way to hide it others than using a quality VPN.

- Clicking different links

There may be an ad that distracted you and you were enticed to click on it. Or maybe there was a link from a friend that curious to check out. However, not all links are trustworthy, and some will take advantage of your IP address in order to send you more ads in the future.

- Malicious websites

Although modern browsers protect you from most malicious websites today, there are still couple ones that manage to pass through. And when you do encounter such malicious (exploit) websites, they will take advantage of your IP to scare you that they are sending police to your address for different illegal activities that you did not commit. Some websites are so sneaky that they will download such illegal content themselves without you knowing it.

How to protect yourself!

The threat is there and there are not many ways to protect yourself. You can try to use a proxy for browsing, but that will greatly slow your speed. Besides not all proxies are trustworthy, and none of them will protect the anonymity of your downloads and uploads. Your best option relies in using a quality VPN. A VPN is like a virtual shield that doesn't let anyone know your exact address, regardless whether you download files, upload files, or visit different websites.

I strongly recommend you to use VPNCity, a reliable VPN provider that comes with a money-back warranty, excellent browsing speeds, and over 12 locations around the world.

Use this link to benefit from 1-month FREE of VPNCity, so you can decide for yourself if its worth it or not. If you want to continue using it after this period, you will only have to pay around 3 euros per month. However, given all the risks that it covers for you, it's an excellent price. So, why not give it a try?

Let me know in the comment box below if you tried VPNCity and how it worked for you!

Feeling down due to quarantine lockdown? Try Adidas Training app at home!

Due to the new COVID-19 almost every city and rural area in the world is on lockdown. You are only allowed to get out of your house to complete necessities such as doing shopping or walking your dog, but that's it. You aren't even allowed to jog in the park or go to the gym anymore. Therefore, you may feel an acute need for movement that you have no idea how to fulfill. It happened to me as well, but thankfully I have recently discovered the new Adidas Training app (for Android and iPhone) which showed me the best workout to complete at home.

- A free app

What I liked the most about this app, unlike many other ones out there, is that it's entirely free. Many similar apps ask you for a monthly subscription or a straight-up payment in order to use them. But why would you want to pay ahead when you don't even know if the app is good for you or not? This is something that I truly loved with Adidas Training, that you can use it for free and in an unlimited manner.

- Customized workouts

Are you just beginning to train or are you already a pro body builder? With Adidas Training, it doesn't matter. You will be able to make your own customized workout based on difficulty level, body parts that you want to train and duration. You can allot anywhere from 5 minutes per day to 2 hours per day to physical activities from the comfort of your home.

- They will show you everything

You will have insight into every exercise that you need to do along with animation, and voice encouragement. A voice countdown will let you know when there are only 10 seconds left or when the break is over.

Summary

Adidas Training is a great app that everyone should make use of during the COVID-19 lockdown. You can download it entirely free and there is no payment that needs to be done. Moreover, you can track your progress over time to see how you improved yourself.

Poluarea din Bucuresti


Ca cetatean nativ al Bucurestiului, m-am obisnuit oarecum cu poluarea. Si totusi, in ultimele zile aceasta pare sa fi atins niste cote de nedescris. Statul nu pare foarte ingrijorat de aceste aspect, motiv pentru care statiile lor de monitorizare a calitatii aerului dau rateuri foarte des. In traducere libera, sunt zile in care functioneaza si zile in care nu functioneaza. Asadar, ramane sa ne informam despre calitatea aerului de la terte parti.

Airly – Reteaua Independenta de Monitorizare

Recomand cu caldura Airly pentru monitorizarea calitatii aerului din zona in care locuiti. Au cam 10 statii independente in tot Bucurestiul care afiseaza in timp real cat de poluat este aerul pe care il respiram. Folosind acest serviciu poti afla cantitatea de PM10, PM2.5 sau CO2 din atmosfera indiferent de ora la care te uiti.

Ca un mic exemplu, eu am accesat Airly ultima oara pe 2 martie pe la ora 2AM. Am facut asta intrucat deschizand geamul am observat ca este foarte greu sa respire, orasul fiind afectat de un fel de Smog. Nu mica mi-a fost mirarea cand am descoperit pe zona mea in Airly depasiri cu 900% de PM2.5. La astfel de valori, sa nu ne mai miram ca Bucurestenii se confrunta deseori cu afectiuni respiratorii si au speranta de viata redusa.

Ce sunt PM10 si PM2.5?

PM reprezinta particule in suspensie care pot fi inhalate oricand de catre om. Incepand de la PM10 in jos, aceste particule sunt extreme de nocive intrucat pot ocoli filtrul natural respirator al omului si pot ajunge direct in sange. Odata ajunse acolo pot cauza diverse disfunctionalitati precum ingrosarea venelor, boli respiratorii si multe altele.

PM2.5 si PM1 sunt cele mai nocive particule existente. Ele sunt invizibile cu ochiul liber dar pot fi inhalate cu usurinta atat pe nas cat si pe gura. O expunere in forma continuata la aceste particule poate duce la cancer pulmonar si alte asemenea afectiuni grave.

Cum ne putem proteja?

Aceasta este o intrebare excelenta, si desi nu sunt multe variante pentru locuitorii Bucurestiului, acestea exista totusi.

Mai intai, ar trebui sa evitam plimbarile in locurile aglomerate din oras precum bulevardele si intersectiile. Desi aleile si stradutele nu sunt ferite de poluare, ele sunt totusi mai sigure. De asemenea, va recomand plimbarea in parcuri cu vegetatie ambundenta in detrimental strazilor.

Mai apoi, trebuie sa ne protejam sistemul respirator atunci cand iesim la o plimbare pe jos sau cu transportul in comun. Va recomand mastile de tip N95-Respirator care se pot spala si care au filtre inlocuibile. Acestea nu sunt chiar usor de gasit si se achizitioneaza in principal online. Totusi, sunt de incredere, ele putand filtra pana la 95% din particulele PM2.5, PM5 si PM10 existente in atmosfera. De asemenea, ofera protectie si impotriva anumitor virusi.

Intr-un final, ar trebui sa atragem atentia autoritatilor asupra strazilor ce nu sunt eficient spalate, a masinilor ce sunt abandonate si lasate sa rugineasca pe mai multe strazi ale orasului, si asupra santierelor ce nu sunt corespunzator izolate pentru a limita poluarea produsa.

Monese – The Smart Alternative to Traditional Banking




I recently discovered Monese thanks to a Facebook Marketplace advertisement. I thought to myself; what’s so great about it?

My curiosity lead me to inquiring more information about this banking method, especially since the other person said I will receive some free money for testing it. I was skeptical at first, like why would someone offer me free money? What if it’s a scam and all they want is my personal information such as name and address?

However, as I got in touch with the person on Facebook Marketplace, I got to know that Monese was actually a licensed online bank. It is based in UK and yet operates into many countries out there. And there are a couple advantages to it compared to your normal banking methods:

-         Free ATM withdrawals up to 200euros per month

Unless you have a good and constant monthly income, you know that banks charge you a fee for every ATM withdrawal. This is especially bothersome on foreign ATM’s, where fees are bigger. Monese enables you to withdraw up to 200euros per month for free, from any ATM in the world.

-         You can have both real and virtual cards

With Monese you have the option of creating yourself both virtual and real cards. Therefore, you can pay by phone, pay online, or pay with a physical card at any merchant that accepts card payments. Moreover, you can choose the currency in which you want to have the deposit, and create further deposits later on.

-         Always know your deposit balance and spending

With traditional debit cards, it’s not so easy to check your current balance or see the exact expenditures. But with Monese it’s extremely easy to do so. You only have to open the app to see your current balance. And every time you buy something new with your card, you will get a notification on your phone’s toolbar.

-         Dedicated app for iOS and Android

If you have one of the most popular types of phones out there, meaning an Android phone or an iPhone, then rest assured that the Monese app will work. You can download and install it almost immediately, and it will take no longer than 5 minutes to complete your information and request your own card.

Since this is an honest review, I have to mention some minor drawbacks that I found along the way:

-         It takes 1 week for the debit card to arrive

At least this is what happened to me, since I live in Romania. If you live in UK, then things will move quicker since the bank is actually based in UK.

-         It’s not so easy to see or change the PIN code

When you create a traditional debit card at a normal bank, they give you the PIN code written on a piece of paper. Obviously, this is not the case with Monese. Here, if you want to view your PIN code, you have to go into the app, access Card, then View Pin Code. You will enter some information and then they will show you the Pin Code. It can be changed from any compatible ATM. Otherwise, just use the card in a contactless manner for small transactions and you are freed from PIN code hassle.

Conclusions

Monese is a new and revolutionary way of banking. If you want to give it a try, I strongly suggest you to do so. Moreover, you can get 10 euros for free when opening your Monese account if you use the code AND1589 !
Enjoy the future!

DMN And The Jacket That Can Withstand -200C

Winter is already here for over a month, and some people complain that it's just too cold out there. However, a saying in Norway goes like this: "There's no bad weather, only inadequate gear". And if you are not convinced by it, I invite you to test the DMN Aerogel jacket, which was created to withstand liquid nitrogen and temperatures of up to -200 C.

I recently received the DMN jacket to test and I can say that I am impressed. Everything about it screams quality, from the discreetly hidden pockets up to the stitched logos. However, the functional aspect is the one which matters the most. 

Unpacking the Jacket

The jacket was truly packed well, and now I am sorry I did not make a video of the unpacking. It contained an air-tight seal that it was extremely hard to penetrate (I tried to cut it with a scissor for about 30 seconds before realising that it had a slider). Asides, it had the bubble protection and the shockproof black envelope. 

Features - What did I like about it?

Sure enough there are many cool jackets out there, so what makes this one stand out? I will tell you about the most important features that I discovered while testing this product. I also want to highlight from my point of view that it's mostly a city jacket, but since it's basically freeze-proof, you can try taking it to the mountains as well. 

* Double Zipper

Albeit I believe it's there just for design, it certainly looks great. While 99% of the jackets out there have a single zipper on the same line, this one has two. What's more, it's extremely easy to zip and unzip it, although the zippers are not big. I have just two words here: quality design. 




* Quality Interior

You will immediately notice the quality of materials used in this jacket. It looks great on the inside, but also on the outside. In this picture I want to highlight the reflective material used inside and one of the laces that ties to keep the jacket even tighter to your body. I found it to be a great fit for me even without the laces.


* Stitched Details

Since no jacket is complete without some fine details that set you apart from the crowd, this DMN jacket features some leather-stitched logos. This will tell everyone it's a special jacket, and not one that is produced which cheap materials and which can last you for maximum one year. 


* Looks Great, Fits Great

I am the type of person who normally doesn't shop online for clothes since I am afraid they would not fit well. I hate doing measurements and I am also rather skinny. However, this jacket was truly a great fit for me from the moment I put it on. What's more, carrying a bag on my shoulder suddenly became more comfortable.


* Plenty of pockets

As I mentioned in the beginning, this jacket comes with 4 pockets on the exterior and one which is carefully hidden on the interior. At first you may live under the impression that there are only 2 pockets outside, but the other 2 are so well-placed that they allow you to do much more. From what I've seen and tried, the lower bottom pockets enable you to keep your hands worm, while the ones are which are on top of them are great for storing different things such as your gloves, winter cap or cigarettes. 

The inside pocket is great for storing important things such as your phone, your notes or money. 

And if you are the type of person who usually loses things around such as pens or chewing gum packets, then you can use this pocket just as well. You only have to make sure it's not already full :)


What I Didn't Like About It

* The Weight
This jacket feels kind of heavy, although it's normal for a winter jacket. I tested it with a hand scale and it showed 1.115 kgs. I compared it to another very thick winter jacket that I had, and that one weighed 1.4kgs. However, since the DMN jacket has all this special material on it, it actually feels like you have some kind of body armor on you. This makes running and climbing stairs more difficult, so you have to keep this in mind. However, it's definitely not a deal breaker.

Conclusions

If you are the kind of person that enjoys staying outside during winter for extended periods of time, then this jacket is for you. It's built so well that it can withstand liquid nitrogen and even acidic rain. Besides, it looks thick enough to stop a knife from passing through (albeit I didn't test that). One last thing, you will look really cool while wearing it and people will notice that immediately.

Jungle Adventures 2 - An Android Game That is Truly Worth Playing

I want to start off by saying that this review has not been sponsored by Rendered Ideas or anyone else and it simply represents by honest opinion after playing the game.

I downloaded Jungle Adventures 2 one week ago on my 8-inch Android tablet, and since then I can't stop playing it. When I first found it in the Play Store I thought "Eh, it's gonna be just another game for kids or a Super Mario ripoff". But boy was I wrong.

Indeed, if you played Super Mario as a kid, you will find some similarities to it (after all, they are both adventure games). However, Jungle Adventures 2 brings plenty of new elements into the game. You will find yourself dwelling through land, sea and air while making your way as a jungle man in a prehistoric world filled with dangers.

From sharp eagles to hungry sharks, everyone's there to get you. You have to make use jumps, double jumps, parachute glides, and the occasional throw-rocking skills to make your way through. And while dangers are lurking everywhere, you will get some help from time to time from genies, bulls and seahorses.

You will find that maps in this game are very intriguing, but what's even more interesting is how they managed to blend in the physics so well. I played racing games and stunt games on PC that lacked the quality physics used in this game.

Android games are definitely improving with every month, but this doesn't mean that all titles are worth playing. For instance, some games force you to see ads after every level or noticeable achievement, which truly sucks. I understand that those guys need to make a living, but playing with people's nerves like that is never a good idea. This is the reason why some of my friends play their Android games with the internet turned off.

However, Jungle Adventures 2 is very balanced when it comes to advertising. You can play 3 or 4 levels without seeing a single ad (unless you want to in exchange for some power-up). And given that 1 level takes you about 2-3 minutes to complete, it means that ads in this game are not intrusive at all.

I give another point to this game for the fact it doesn't push on you a Premium (VIP) subscription as other games do. This is a trick that works on many kids and teenagers. Some games promote VIP subscription for their game, which removes all advertisements and provides unique perks (special armors, high-power weapons, etc). However, these are usually quite costly, ranging from a 5$ down-payment to 20$ billed on a monthly basis). If an adult has his/her credit card attached to Google Pay and the PIN is saved in the device, then the kid or teenager will be able to buy the subscription without much effort.

In conclusion, Jungle Adventures 2 is a great game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It doesn't matter if you are 10 or 40, if you love adventure games then this one is a must-try.
