What is Fiat to Crypto?
“Fiat to crypto” means buying cryptocurrency with fiat money … so, for example, buying Bitcoin with USD.
The reason this is even a thing is because a few years ago, many online trading platforms only allowed you to trade crypto for crypto. So if you had Bitcoin you could trade it for Litecoin, or if you had Litecoin you could trade it for Ether. But you couldn’t just buy Ether or Litecoin with USD.
There were a few basic exchanges with limited options that let you buy bitcoin only, but you would have to transfer that bitcoin to a crypto-to-crypto platform (which often took days) if you wanted to own any altcoins. So when more advanced online exchanges were built, they would boast the “fiat to crypto” exchange possibilities as a feature that set them apart.
While that seems a little surprising now — because, after all, Bitcoin ATMs have always offered a fiat-to-crypto solution — that’s how the online world used to work. One platform to purchase and another platform to trade.

Fiat to Crypto at a Bitcoin ATM
As hinted, Bitcoin ATMs have always used the fiat-to-crypto model. And a few (like 20%) also allow crypto to fiat, like Coin Cloud machines do. We’ll talk about that more tomorrow.
But whatever way you slice it, the fastest and easiest way to turn fiat to crypto is at a Bitcoin ATM. You just insert your cash, scan your mobile wallet and you own bitcoin or your choice of 30 altcoins. Oh, wait, that part is just Coin Cloud machines too. Most brands only give a few choices, if any.
You can find the nearest Coin Cloud DCM to you with the online locator map, or through the Coin Cloud Wallet app.

Mobile wallets work by using Near-Field Communications (NFC)-enabled technology or QR code technology. They digitally store payment-related information in an encoded format for security reasons. There may be many variations of how payment information is stored and this varies from wallet to wallet.

This time is the generation that people spend so much time watching through screen(through phones, laptops, televisions and other gadgets). Too much of the light rays emitted by these gadgets are not good for our eyes. It makes humans to develop eye problems in no distant time. This is why technology no has settings to mitigate the effect of the light rays(eyes care or night mood). You that is always on the screen, how do you manage your eyes.
(1) You use glasses
(2)You always reduce the gadgets brightness
(3)You keep the screen far from your eyes
(You do nothing)
You are right this is what most people suffer today, you will see young people having eye problem at early stage because of the kind of things we involved ourselves.

The people of the U.S. have struck a bargain with Satan where a special area in hell has been reserved just for them.

As they have achieved their end of the deal by committing more evil than any other peoples throughout history, the vast majority of Americans will enjoy a slightly cooler area in the fire-pit where they will burn eternally.

I have not struck such a bargain and don’t like being lumped into such nonsense. Every time Satan has tried to lure me into bargains I have always refrained to avoid the fiery demise you describe. Many Americans have committed no evil at all and are just regular people trying to enjoy their lives the best they can with their given circumstances.
I agree with you on this

Americans are free living people who have nothing in there mind other than making their life's meaningful and memorable to them. Every activity of their everyday life matters alot to them.

You are most likely to have side effects from dietary supplements if you take them at high doses or instead of prescribed medicines, or if you take many different supplements. Some supplements can increase the risk of bleeding or, if taken before surgery, can change your response to anesthesia.

7 Popular Supplements With Hidden Dangers

1. Vitamin D: Too Much Can Harm Your Kidneys
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the body, and getting enough is central to health and well-being, offering the promise of protecting bones and preventing bone diseases like osteoporosis. Supplemental vitamin D is popular because it’s difficult (if not impossible) to get enough from food. Also, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, our bodies make vitamin D when bare skin is exposed to sunlight, but increased time spent indoors and widespread use of sunblock has minimized the amount of vitamin D many of us get from sun exposure.But enthusiasm for vitamin D supplements is outpacing the evidence. As it turns out, when healthy women take low doses of vitamin D (up to 400 international units, or IU) it does not necessarily prevent them from breaking bones, according to a U.S. Preventive Services Task Force report published in May 2013 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

And taking high doses is not a good option. In healthy people, vitamin D blood levels higher than 100 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) can trigger extra calcium absorption — and lead to muscle pain, mood disorders, abdominal pain, and kidney stones, notes the Cleveland Clinic. It may also raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.

“More is not necessarily better when it comes to micronutrient supplements,” says Manson.

The outlook is different for women who are over age 71, deficient in vitamin D, live in institutions, or have dark skin pigmentation. For them, the National Academy of Medicine reports, vitamin D supplements prescribed by a doctor are beneficial. To achieve vitamin D recommendations — 600 IU per day for people 1 to 70 years old and 800 IU per day for individuals 71 or older — include whole foods, such as salmon, tuna, milk, mushrooms, and fortified cereals in your daily diet. You can also spend a brief time in the sun without sunblock — about 10 to 15 minutes a day, according to the NIH.

2. St. John’s Wort: Avoid Drug Interactions
St. John’s wort is a plant used as a tea or in capsules to treat mild depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Small studies have shown St. John’s wort to be effective at treating mild depression. For example, a review published March 2017 in the Journal of Affective Disorders looked at of 27 clinical trials with a total of 3,808 patients and concluded that the herbal remedy worked as well as certain antidepressants at decreasing symptoms of mild to moderate depression.But, says Denise Millstine, MD, an internist in the department of integrative medicine at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, “The biggest issue with St. John’s wort is its medication interactions.”

A study published in July 2014 in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that 28 percent of the time St. John’s wort was prescribed between 1993 and 2010, it was administered in dangerous combinations with antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication, statins, the blood-thinning drug warfarin, or oral contraceptives. For example, combining St. John’s wort with an antidepressant can cause serious complications, including a life-threatening increase in the brain chemical serotonin, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

3. Calcium: The Excess Settles in Your Arteries
Calcium is essential for strong bones and a healthy heart, but too much is not a good thing. In fact, an excess of calcium, which is described by the NIH as more than 2,500 mg per day for adults ages 19 to 50, and more than 2,000 mg per day for individuals 51 and over, can lead to problems.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Researchers believe that without adequate vitamin D to help absorb it, the extra calcium settles in the arteries instead of the bones.”In addition, an analysis of 10 years of medical tests on more than 2,700 people in a federally funded heart disease study, published October 10, 2016, in the Journal of the American Heart Association, suggested that taking calcium supplements may increase plaque buildup in the aorta and other arteries. In contrast, a diet high in calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products and leafy greens, appeared to be protective.

“Get calcium from your diet if you can,” advises Dr. Millstine, noting that research shows that calcium is better absorbed through food than through supplements.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends 1,000 mg of calcium a day for women ages 19 to 50, and 1,200 mg a day for women 51 and older. The recommendation for men ages 19 to 70 is 1,000 mg a day, and 1,200 mg a day for men 71 and older. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 6 ounces of plain low-fat yogurt contains about 311 mg of calcium, a little less than one-third of the daily recommendations. Other good calcium sources include tofu, nonfat milk, cheese, fortified cereal, and juices.Calcium deficiency, or hypocalcemia, may be detected by routine blood tests. If you have low calcium blood levels, your doctor may prescribe a calcium supplement.

4. Multivitamins and Multiminerals: No Substitute for a Healthy Diet
Think that a healthy lifestyle requires not just eating good-for-you foods, exercising, and getting enough sleep, but also taking a daily multivitamin-multimineral supplement? You may be surprised to learn that the jury’s still out on whether those supplements are truly helpful.

One surprising study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, which examined data from nearly 40,000 women over 19 years, found that, on average, women who took supplements had an increased risk of dying compared with women who didn’t take supplements. Multivitamins also did little or nothing to protect against common cancers, cardiovascular disease, or death.
However, more recent research has found benefits to taking multivitamins. For example, a study published August 9, 2017, in the journal Nutrients concluded that frequent use of multivitamin and mineral supplements helped prevent micronutrient shortfalls that might otherwise cause health problems.

For women of childbearing age, taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid is recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to help prevent birth defects. Multivitamins might also be prescribed by your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome, a condition in which the body does not properly absorb vitamins and minerals.

But for healthy people, Manson says, “a supplement can never be a substitute for a healthy diet."

5. Fish Oil Supplements: Choose Fish or Flaxseed Instead
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil has been touted as a means to reduce heart disease. However, more and more evidence shows that fish oil supplements have questionable heart benefits. A study published January 3, 2019, in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) found that omega-3 fatty acid supplements did nothing to reduce heart attacks, strokes, or deaths from heart disease in middle-aged and older men and women without any known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An earlier study, published in May 2013 in NEJM, looked at people at high risk for cardiovascular disease and also reported no benefit.

What to Eat — and Avoid — for Strong Bones if You Have Ankylosing Spondylitis
According to the NIH, omega-3 deficiency is “very rare in the United States.” Still, many people fail to consume enough omega-3s daily for optimal health. The best way to get adequate amounts is by eating a variety of foods that are rich in them, including:

Fish and other seafood, especially cold-water fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, and sardines
Nuts and seeds, such as flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts
Plant oils, such as flaxseed oil, soybean oil, and canola oil
Fortified foods, such as certain brands of eggs, yogurt, juices, milk, and soy beverages.

6. Kava: Overuse Can Harm Your Liver
Kava is an herb that in concentrated forms has been used to treat general anxiety disorder with some success. An Australian study published online in 2015 in the journal Trials found that the South Pacific plant can be an effective alternative treatment to prescription medication for people diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). An earlier, smaller study, published in October 2013 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, also showed that taking kava significantly reduced anxiety compared with a placebo in people with GAD.However, taking too much kava, or taking it for too long, has been linked to serious liver damage, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. As a result, according to the NIH, the FDA has warned that people, especially those with liver disease or liver problems, or those who are taking drugs that can affect the liver, should talk to their healthcare practitioner before using kava. In addition, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports that heavy consumption of kava has been associated with heart problems and eye irritation.

7. Soy Isolate: Careful With the Estrogen
Tofu, tempeh, and soy milk are all good sources of protein, fiber, and a number of minerals. Some women also take soy in supplement form because the plant contains estrogen-like compounds called isoflavones that may help relieve symptoms of menopause. However, concerns have been raised that the isoflavones in soy supplements may contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer.

The good news is that large-scale studies have not shown any increased breast cancer risk from eating whole soy foods, such as tofu and edamame, according to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

In fact, at least one study, published March 6, 2017, in the journal Cancer, which looked at 6,235 breast cancer survivors, linked eating the equivalent of one serving of soybeans a week to a 21 percent lower risk of death from all causes during the nearly 10-year follow-up period.

But not enough research has been done on soy protein isolate (SPI) — the powder formed by removing the protein from the rest of the plant — to know its effect on breast cancer risk, Millstine says. (In addition to supplements, SPI is often found in power bars, veggie burgers, and some soups, sauces, smoothies, and breakfast cereals.)

The bottom line: “If you’re concerned about breast cancer, stay away from soy supplements and soy-based protein,” Millstine advises. “Soy intake from foods has not been shown to be of concern though.”

6 Tips for Safety Online Banking

1. Change your password regularly
The best thing consumers can do to protect themselves is to change their passwords every 90 days, Kenyon says. Never use a word and always use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. Words are too easy to guess, particularly if they’re related to your persona, such as your mother’s maiden name, the street where you live or your pet’s name.

The longer the password, the better, Kenyon adds. Many government agencies require passwords to be at least 14 characters. Kenyon offers this tip for creating a long password that is easy to remember: Pick a well-known verse and add numbers and letters to it that will be easy to remember. Make your password even harder to crack by replacing letters with special characters.

2. Refrain from using public computers or Wi-Fi when banking online
Anytime you are using public Wi-Fi, you have to assume that someone can access your browser history and your password. So if you are doing anything that requires you to log in, such as banking or reading email, you are putting yourself at risk, Kenyon says. This applies even if you have your email or other password-protected sites set up to automatically insert your password for you and log in.

3. Check your bank statement regularly
Check your bank statement each month, Kenyon suggests. Even though banks are highly skilled at recognizing fraud, particularly with credit cards, they might not always be able to catch every questionable transaction among every customer, so you should be sure to review your statement monthly.

4. Use licensed anti-virus software
Even Mac users need to invest in good anti-virus software, Kenyon says. Be sure to check for updates frequently. Either set your computer to check for updates automatically and alert you or plan to check yourself every Saturday or Sunday morning. But, Kenyon warns, don’t set your computer to download the update automatically. Downloading manually provides the best protection from malware and viruses.

5. Disconnect your Internet when not using it
Computers that are always connected to the Internet are vulnerable. Most consumers get their internet through their cable company and the Wi-Fi is always on. Be sure your Wi-Fi is password-protected, Kenyon states, and if you can, it’s a good idea to disconnect your computer from the Wi-Fi when you’re not using it.

6. Type your bank URL every time instead of using email links
Never click on a URL in an email, even if it looks like it’s from a trusted source, Kenyon says. “The email and link might look very legitimate but it could take you somewhere you don’t want to go,” he says. Always retype the URL into your computer before using it or bookmark your bank’s actual authenticated site, especially if you are using it for an online transaction or to provide sensitive information.

34  Other / Off-topic / Lionel Messi's relationship with PSG questioned as superstar described as a club on: February 21, 2022, 03:42:35 PM
LIONEL MESSI'S sensational Barcelona exit hasn't entirely gone to plan this season.

Former Paris Saint-Germain winger Jerome Rothen has described Lionel Messi as a 'burden' on the club amid a lacklustre debut season in France. Messi's sensational free transfer from Barcelona last summer hasn't gone entirely according to the script so far.

Messi recorded his latest disappointing display in PSG's late 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League last Tuesday.

The 34-year-old missed a penalty at the Parc des Princes but was bailed out by Kylian Mbappe's brilliance in the 94th minute.

He has scored just two goals in 15 Ligue 1 games, and cameras picked up PSG midfielder Danilo Pereira visibly frustrated with his lack of effort to backtrack after losing the ball during the tight affair.

It was potentially a sign of widespread annoyance that Messi doesn't pull his weight whilst the Parisiens are defending, which could cost them in the latter stages of the Champions League.

Messi, Neymar and Mbappe came under fire in both of PSG's group-stage games against Manchester City as Mauricio Pochettino's defence was often overrun.
And Rothen has aimed criticism at Messi for his general form since arriving in France, labelling the transfer a 'bad idea'.

He said: "He is a burden for the club. His first months have not been good, and the relationship between Lionel Messi and PSG has been far from a success. This transfer was a bad idea.

Because the Messi I knew back then in Barcelona is not the Messi in PSG.

Where is the real Messi now?

35  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is it safe to us to get Covid -19 Vaccine? on: February 21, 2022, 02:46:54 PM
Yes. The two mRNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are very safe and very good at preventing serious or fatal cases of COVID-19. The risk of serious side effects associated with these vaccines is very small.

COVID-19 Vaccine Safety — What We Know

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are strongly recommended as safe and effective at preventing serious illness or death from COVID-19.
From December 2020 to December 2021, about 470 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given in the U.S.
Roughly 12 months of data, including data from tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials, show that the vaccines are safe and effective at preventing serious disease or death due to COVID-19.
Additional shots and boosters are also authorized for those who meet the guidelines.
mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines has been in development for over 15 years.
Pfizer’s vaccine received full FDA approval, which means more data show how well that particular vaccine works. The FDA may fully approve the Moderna coronavirus vaccine and others in the future.
Due to potential blood clots following administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the CDC updated its recommendations in December 2021. The CDC noted that the two mRNA vaccines, from Pfizer and Moderna, are preferred over the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which remains available for those who prefer it and for use in certain circumstances.

Are there risks or safety concerns regarding the COVID vaccines?

To help catch risks or safety concerns, the CDC and FDA monitor possible safety issues with the COVID-19 vaccines. This ongoing work has led to revised recommendations for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and information about rare side effects tied to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Johnson & Johnson/Janssen. In December 2021, the CDC updated its recommendations and stated that either of the two mRNA vaccines is preferred over the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC explained that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are preferred due to a greater risk for developing rare but severe blood clots, called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), following administration of the J&J vaccine. The CDC noted that there are some situations when a J&J vaccine may still be used, if the recipient understands the risks and benefits of the J&J vaccine. Read about side effects related to the rare blood clot.
At Johns Hopkins Medicine, we offer Pfizer and Moderna vaccines throughout our vaccine clinics. We have a limited supply of J&J vaccine and only offer it by request and if the recipient clearly understands the risks and benefits.

Pfizer and Moderna. After observing rare occurrences of myocarditis following the second injection of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, the CDC released information for the public. Most of these myocarditis events happened in teens and young adults, and the majority of the cases were mild and cleared up on their own. Read about side effects related to myocarditis.

39  Other / Off-topic / Clipboard hacking on: February 21, 2022, 10:34:49 AM
What is clipboard hacking?
 The good news is that clipboard hacking does not mean you now need to be suspicious of people bearing clipboards. The bad news is that it is a genuine and insidious method for stealing your crypto.

As they are hexadecimal (base16) and are many characters long, crypto wallet addresses do not lend themselves to being memorised or typed in manually, just as you would type in an email or username.

Enter copy and paste, the unsung hero of crypto transactions. Many wallets and exchanges, including MetaMask, include built-in 'copy' or 'copy to clipboard' shortcuts that allow you to copy your wallet address with a single click. These features smooth the process of pasting into a third-party site to which you may be transferring tokens, for example.

Clipboard hacking exploits the copy and paste function to rob you. Rather than relying on users' inexperience or exploiting their trust, malicious actors will create and disseminate malware.

Once this malware has infected your computer, most likely hidden within a seemingly innocuous download, it will automatically intercept your clipboard, scan for crypto addresses, and, if it identifies one, replace it with their own. So by the time you hit paste, your address has been replaced, and you will be about to send your transaction to the hacker(s).  

Naturally, as blockchain transactions are irreversible, there is no way to retrieve your funds once they are sent.

How can I protect myself?

A logical first port of call is to ensure you have robust anti-malware software installed, and keep it updated. Your software should identify most potential clipboard hacking malware programs, notify you, and quarantine them before they can affect your crypto activity.

However, since there is a possibility that your anti-malware software may not detect the program, the only way to be safe is to double- and triple-check addresses before you confirm any transaction. Some hardware wallets may prompt you to do this anyway, but as transactions are irreversible, it is a worthwhile habit to adopt.
