Have you been hacked?

No matter how diligent you are about security, there’s always a chance you can get hacked. That’s why you need to put a plan in place NOW to protect yourself and your CLIENTS, so damage is minimized. But what should you do if you find out you’ve been hacked?

First, contact your IT department (us) IMMEDIATELY. The faster we can address the attack – and determine the extent of the data, applications and machines compromised – the better your chances are of preventing much bigger problems. We’ll go to work on containing the attack and conducting a full scan of your network.

Based on what we discover, we may advise you to contact the local FBI office and your attorney. Your legal responsibilities depend greatly on the type of data accessed. For example, if medical, financial or other confidential records were stolen or accessed, you are legally responsible for notifying affected individuals that their data was compromised (your attorney can best direct you on what you need to do and how to do it).

Cybercrime is at an all-time high, and hackers are setting their sights on small and medium businesses who are “low hanging fruit.” Don’t be their next victim!

Ways to fit exercise into our everyday routines



Regular exercise has many benefits. It can improve our overall health and fitness, reduce our risk for chronic conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, and boost our mental and emotional well-being. Adults are encouraged to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise – or 75 minutes of more vigorous physical activity – each week. For children and teens, experts recommend 60 minutes of exercise daily, with most of it moderate-intensity aerobic activity. The challenge for many of us is how to make physical activity part of our regular routine, without it feeling like a chore.

The following tips can help us stay on track: 
Make small, simple changes. Every bit of extra activity helps. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walk over to a co-worker’s desk instead of sending an email, or park further away from where you are going and walk the rest of the way
Find a buddy or group. Having someone to exercise with can provide motivation and make activities more enjoyable. Consider joining a group exercise class, walking club or rec sports team.
Keep track of your progress. Being able to see how far you’ve come can help you stay motivated and allows you to celebrate your successes. Personal fitness devices make it easier than ever to track your daily activity.
Change things up. Keep things fresh by trying different activities, or listen to music to keep from getting bored.
Plan for bad weather. Join a gym you can use when you need to exercise indoors, or find a shopping mall where you can walk year-round. As an employer, you can do your part to encourage employees to be more active, both at work and at home.

Strength for Today

Blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.-Jeremiah 17:7-8

When Jesus instructed us not to worry about tomorrow, He was saying that we should deal with life one day at a time. He gives us the strength we need as we need it. When we take that strength He gives us and apply it to worry instead of action, we rob ourselves of the blessing God intended for us to have TODAY-not tomorrow or the next, but today. We miss out on good things because we worry about bad things that may not even come to be!

For several years, a woman had trouble getting to sleep at night because she fear burglars. One night her husband heard a noise in the house, so he went downstairs to investigate. When he got there, he did find a burglar. “Good evening” said the man of the house. “I am pleased to see you. Come upstairs and meet my wife. She has been waiting ten years to meet you.”

Dont waste precious time with worry.

SELF DISCIPLINE


SELF DISCIPLINE“But the fruit of the Spirit is…self-control.” – Galatians 5:23

How many times have you said or done something and immediately
wished you could take it back and have a redo? How many times have you seen the look of hurt on someone’s face and knew you were the one who put it there? Face it. You lost your cool. Or maybe you fell off the diet or alcohol wagon and indulged in that molten chocolate desert or martini and you feel like a failure. Your self-control button was turned off. It happens to the best of us.

But you see, one of the keys to successful living is self-control. That means controlling our emotions, our desires, our passions, and yes, our tongues (what we say or post or comment). Self-control is about self-discipline. The Bible compares it to sports. It says, “Run your race to win. Everyone who competes in the game exercises self-control in all things.”  Self-control is essential to success in sports, as well as in living.


Let’s look at a few tips to help when our self-control is lacking:

Identify: Be honest with yourself about where you lack self-control. If you can’t stop yourself from saying ugly things, walk away. Don’t give yourself the opportunity to say or do things you know will hurt others.
Admit: If you have an addiction, admit it. That’s always the first step in recovery.
Ask: Then ask God for self-discipline.
Act: Finally, take action on that discipline, one day at a time.Self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit. It’s one of the ways by which others will know that you are a child of God. Take a minute to read the entire verse in Galatians 5:22-23.
