The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a globally and locally exponential increase in the level of use of Microsoft Teams. However, the Microsoft 365 suite is a constant target of attacks aimed at compromising login and privileged accounts. Datanet specialists can help you control the security risks of working from home with Cisco Duo Multifactor Authentication Solution.

At the end of April, the Microsoft Teams collaborative work solution had 75 million daily active users. The jump of 31 million, compared to March, makes Teams the Microsoft solution with the fastest adoption. However, the popularity increase of Microsoft Teams (part of Microsoft 365) is directly proportional to the evolution of security risks. As early as 2018, the Office 365 suite (recently renamed Microsoft 365) was the main target of phishing attempts (according to Vadesecure), used to prepare more complex attacks.

Also in 2019 there was an intensification of Account Takeover (ATO) attacks targeting Office 365 accounts by using compromised authentication data. Most organizations try to prevent such risks by asking employees to change their access passwords periodically. However, not all users comply with these requests, and some of those who do so reuse their credentials used for personal purposes. This allows hackers to gain undetected access to corporate accounts by purchasing stolen passwords. However, the target of intrusions is the compromise of privileged accounts, which belong to decision-makers and IT administrators.

The solution: Multifactor Authentication

Cisco DUOTo prevent these security issues, Datanet specialists propose a security approach tailored to fit working from home. You can read more about the benefits of the “Zero-Trust” security model in the article “ZERO TRUST security model, benefits and implementation possibilities”.

Switching to multifactor authentication (MFA) is a key element of this approach, and our recommendation is Cisco Duo. The solution is a market leader in MFA applications and was recently declared “Best Authentication Technology” at the SC Awards Europe gala. Duo is compatible with both Microsoft Teams and the rest of the 365 suite, but also with Active Directory, Windows Logon and Remote Desktop. These features allow Datanet specialists to adapt the multifactor authentication solution to the specific work scenarios of each company.

Cisco Duo Multifactor Login for Work at Home in Teams

Duo ensures the authentication of Teams users by applying several methods of identity verification. The solution uses, in addition to the access password, a unique code, randomly generated and with limited validity, as the second authentication element. The unique code can be sent by SMS or phone call. Duo can also be used in conjunction with U2F-compatible hardware token systems. Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) is an open standard that provides simplified two-factor authentication (2FA) with specialized USB or NFC devices. However, the solution does not affect the end-user experience. They benefit from the advantages of the Single Sign-On (SSO) connection scheme, with which a single authentication action is sufficient for several applications.

Duo allows you to improve the security of your computer systems by analyzing your authentication data. It delivers detailed information about who and what resources they access. With this information, our specialists can help you define and apply custom rules based on geolocation criteria, the number of login attempts, time slots, device used.

Adding and management of devices

Cisco Duo simplifies the process of adding new devices and managing them remotely. This allows companies to enforce security policies on Teams users’ personal devices and when used for business purposes. Duo checks the compliance level of each device with a set of requirements defined by the administrator. This can block access to company applications and data for devices that do not meet these requirements.

Duo facilitates the definition and application of specific policies on user groups or equipment, by correlating and integrating with Active Directory. With their help, companies can identify and block access attempts of unauthorized users and unregistered equipment. Thus, critical data is protected, wherever it is stored – in on-premises infrastructures or in the Cloud. Any non-compliance is automatically reported by Duo, and administrators manage alerts through a single interface. This ensures the visibility of all equipment and facilitates rapid intervention when needed.

In the context of an increased number of security incidents, we recommend that you apply multifactor authentication to Microsoft Teams users working from home using Cisco Duo. Cisco-certified Datanet Systems specialists will work with you to prepare and enforce access policies. You will thus obtain a high level of protection of the company’s data and applications, regardless of users’ location and type of terminals used.

Love in ‘Freestyle Love Supreme’ a bit cheesy, but restorative

The improvised rap creation of Thomas Kail, Miranda and Anthony Veneziale came to SF Sketchfest.

It was no standard mike check. “This. Is. Mic-ro-phone One,” came the first repeated cadence, while the stage was still in darkness. Other speakers layered on top, creating a virtuoso rendition of build-a-band, endowing each of five mikes with its unique personality, then singing it out as part of a percussive symphony.

The mike check in “Freestyle Love Supreme” was a full-fledged part of the show, not least because it piqued suspense. As bodies populated the shadowy stage of the Sydney Goldstein Theater on Friday, Jan. 24, the audience still couldn’t tell who would star in the one-night performance, a part of SF Sketchfest. On any given night of the show’s Broadway run, which ended Jan. 12, celebrities from Lin-Manuel Miranda to Daveed Diggs to James Monroe Iglehart might be part of the cast. The show, a hybrid of improv, rap and theater created by Miranda, Thomas Kail and Anthony Veneziale, kept each night’s performers a surprise.

The “Hamilton” creator wasn’t there for the San Francisco run, but Veneziale, a.k.a. Two Touch, was the emcee. Joining him in building songs and raps on the fly from audience suggestion were Aneesa Folds, a.k.a. Young Nees; Chris Sullivan, a.k.a. Shockwave; Andrew Bancroft, a.k.a. Jelly Donut; Wayne Brady of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”; and Alan Markley on keyboards.

As host, Veneziale made the “Love” in the show’s title a relentless, all-encompassing philosophy. To each audience member’s called-out suggestion, he was an ardent fan, a hype machine, an amplifier. “Wow!” “Awesome stuff!” “That’s adorable!” When he asked spectators for their pet peeves, and someone called out, “Fedora!” — Veneziale was wearing one — his response was implacable affection. “It’s OK! You don’t diminish me in any way!”

Sometimes improvisors relied on easy truisms as certain to raise a cheer as a doctor’s reflex hammer: “If you love the food, you gotta love the culture.” “We try to spread love wherever we go,” which is “really hard to do in this day and age.” Thirteen years ago was when “artists and teachers could afford to live here.” Those doses of moral improvement started to approach school assembly territory; most of the show could have gotten a G rating, and even when performers dropped F-bombs or acknowledged that sex exists, it was as if they couldn’t believe how cheekily they were behaving.

In one segment, a single word is supposed to draw a full-length song from each performer, and the early show selected the word “burrito,” which drew from each a lengthy, indulgent tract about how great burritos are. More often, rhymes and near-rhymes dazzled, mining untapped felicities in language, showcasing its glorious quirks: “Squelch” and “Raquel Welch,” “Jack Sparrow” and “bone marrow”; “go” and “Doctor Zhivago”; “lesbian” and “Wesleyan.” Drop the “r” at the end of “technology sector,” and the phrase can sort of rhyme with the beloved drink “La Croix,” if you go with the French pronunciation. The linguistic zigs and zags testified to the restlessness of the imagination, the pungent fecundity of the spoken word.

Transitioning between and then underscoring each segment was Shockwave, such a prodigious beatboxer that, almost like a throat singer, he can create two vocal tracks simultaneously — a beat and a melody skittering over it. The clicks of scrolling and typing on a phone gave way to great gusts and explosions. He was a one-man surround-sound system, but with the movement finesse of a trained clown, with a pointed, focused specificity in his gesture to let you know he was drop-kicking a mewling infant or tossing a record out the window and into his neighbor as if it were a Frisbee.

A common misconception with improv is that you have to be preternaturally funny on your own to be any good at it. At “Freestyle Love Supreme,” the most successful bits came not from one mind’s feat of wordplay or showmanship, but from instances where performers thought to refer back to a puzzling suggestion from two segments ago, or when they rescued their scene partners from awkwardness. In those moments, the “love” in “Freestyle Love Supreme” sings most loudly.

Don’t Let a Fight Against Error Kill Your Love

Caution cone on keyboard

Last week’s article wasn’t supposed to be an article. I started out writing an opening illustration for a different point, but it took on a life of its own and I ended up with a whole post about the dangers of getting so caught up in the fight against racism, sexism, and other ugly -isms that we forget Jesus’ command to be peacemakers, to turn the other cheek, to love our enemies. We must always remember that Satan loves to tempt us to fight the right fight in the wrong way… Which I suppose still works as an opening observation to bring us around to what I meant to talk about last Monday. Because there is more than one “good fight” which can become an idol. For many conservative, Bible-believing Christians, one of the most potentially dangerous good fights is the battle against error in the church.

Are you entirely satisfied with everything taught by every part of the American church? I thought not. Neither am I. From churches which don’t bother to teach the Bible to churches which outright teach against the Bible, there is every reason to be concerned about the spiritual health of many of the professing Christians around us. And such caution is appropriate and biblical. Paul warned Roman believers, “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them” (Rom 16:17). Corruption in the church is the worst kind of corruption, because it dishonors the name of Christ and destroys our witness to the world. Vigilance is essential—but vigilance has a way of killing our love.

Servants Don’t Take Offense

Potter with clay

A couple years ago, an academic and writer who was researching the role of women in Reformed churches flew in for a day to attend a presbytery meeting in my little part of the Christian world. Her subsequent scathing report generated quite a bit of discussion and controversy, with particular outrage over her revelation that the women’s restroom was temporarily labeled for male use. What kind of church, readers demanded, would care so little about female concerns as to refuse to even give them restroom facilities? The account of the omission was one of the most dramatic parts of her report, with three paragraphs devoted to describing and analyzing the way in which “women’s physical needs were considered unimportant and inconvenient.” It was a damning indictment—and perhaps a tad overstated.

Frankly, the bathroom labeling was thoughtless, creating an uncomfortable situation for any women who had to remove the sign and wait for the bathroom to clear before using it. But in a denomination which does not have female elders, everyone knows there are going to be hardly any women at a presbytery meeting. As someone who has run large events in the past, I have a great deal of sympathy for the harried organizer, worrying the night before about the prospect of long bathroom lines snaking through the foyer of a small church, who hastily tried to solve the problem with the “Men’s Restroom” sign which was shortly to become a thing of infamy. (Had the same organizer been running a women’s conference, I expect we’d have seen a “Women’s Restroom” sign on the men’s room.) Was it a less-than-ideal solution? Yes. Was it a significant sign of underlying sexism on the part of everyone associated with the meeting? Perhaps… not?

Puzzlement at Pence: How the World Lost Intimacy and Doesn’t Know It

Initials on a tree

Last week, the Washington Post reported that vice president Mike Pence avoids dining one-on-one with women other than his wife, and the internet erupted. Pence’s policy was puritanical, silly, sexist. It might, in fact, be “rape culture at work” according to one writer, because it shows “we still live in a culture that produces vice-presidents who ardently believe women are a wellspring of possible sin.”

The obvious rebuttals are, well, obvious. There’s the fact that Pence might possibly be avoiding extended social time alone with other women not because he believes women are the root of all evil but because, of the two genders, only one of them can offer any temptation to compromise his marriage. (If an influential woman avoided dining alone with other men, would that be sexism against men?) Then there’s the cynical amusement of listening to 20-something singles earnestly pontificate about healthy relationship boundaries. And there’s the hypocrisy angle: Apparently Bill’s serial adultery is no one’s business but the Clintons’, but Pence’s attempt to avoid adultery is a threat to the republic which demands endless think pieces.

But as I perused the flood of commentary which followed the revelation of what was dubbed “the Pence Rule,” I was struck by something else: the amount of sheer puzzlement over why such a self-imposed restriction might be needed or helpful. One journalist wondered whether “social conservatives actually have higher libidos on average, hence the greater perceived need to control sexual desire.”

You Have Enough Time

Hurrying crowd

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
~ Matthew 6:25-33

For most Americans, Jesus’ promise of provision in the Sermon on the Mount may seem like a nice abstraction. It’s lovely to think of God providing for our physical needs, but how many urgent needs do most of us really feel? How many of us have really had to worry about the next meal or whether we’ll have someplace to spend the night? Of course, for some in America and for many of our brothers and sisters around the world, these assurances are a much more urgent and wonderful thing, but for most Americans they are promises to meet a need they have never really felt.

But even if God’s rich provision for our nation means that you never have to worry about food or clothing, studying Jesus’ promises in Matthew 6 offers a helpful, encouraging template for thinking about another resource, one which we always seem to be needing more of: our time.

After We Sin

Kneeling man

There are few more famous sins in the Bible than David’s adultery with Bathsheba, followed by the murder of her husband. Yahweh’s anointed king, “the man after God’s own heart,” showed the ugliness that lurks in every one of Adam’s sons, and the Lord’s response was swift and angry. II Samuel 12 describes the scene as the prophet Nathan challenged King David, “Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight?” The account only includes the initial, simple response of the stricken king: “I have sinned against the Lord,” but Psalm 51 conveys the depth of David’s repentance and grief as he writes,

I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.

Wishful Casting: Passions' Brook Kerr as OLTL's Rachel Gannon

I've been conversing with the hubby of regular DC site visitor MrsA1107 on Facebook—he hasn't registered yet, shame shame, I know your name!—who hipped me to talk of Nora Gannon's (Hillary B. Smith) daughter Rachel possibly being brought back to Llanview with a new face on One Life to Live and requested that I do a Wishful Casting.

Now considering that I have only been watching OLTL for just a few short years, and don't have much in the form of an emotional connection with the Rachel character, I am basing my suggestion simply on the actress I am suggesting's stellar past work and what I have learned about the character-in-question's history. Now that the formalities are finished, I would love to see Brook Kerr (ex-Whitney, Passions) in the role.

 Kerr, like her onscreen BFF Lindsay Hartley (Theresa) proved to be a standout in a supernatural sea of vapid models-turned-thespians from her very first air show on the late James E. Reilly's whacked out sudser. On Passions, Kerr possessed a Soap God-given talent for infusing even the most asinine and obscene plot twists (Whitney going all Davinci Code and whipping herself when she thought she was in love with her brother) with tremendous heart, which will be needed if Rachel is to help her little half brother Matthew (Eddie Alderson) through his drug drama on OLTL, which is what spoilers say will bring the character back to Llanview.

After a quick brush up on Rachel's history at Soap Central.com—seriously the only resource for learning character backstory—I was intrigued to find out Rachel was pivotal during the original storyline where Marty Saybrooke (Susan Haskell) was gang raped by Todd (then-Roger Howarth, now-Trevor St. John) and his fraternity brothers. According to the site, Marty initially accused Rachel's boyfriend Kevin of taking part in the vicious act. I am so thoroughly enjoying seeing an amnesiac Marty lash out against the players in her origin story currently onscreen, that it would no doubt be even that much more of a treat for her to "meet" Rachel again.

I predict Kerr would crackle opposite new teach and fellow recovering druggie Schuyler (Scott Clifton) if Rachel were to, go to work at Llanview High as the hew guidance counselor. Rachel's return could also facilitate the use of the all-but-forgotten Timothy Stickney as her nefarious Uncle RJ.  Additionally, with her sister Evangeline on perma-drool and her BFF Adriana out of town in search of the perfect haircut, Layla (Tika Sumpter) could use a new home girl in town, and I think Kerr is the perfect person to play her!

Day 23 Sapa

Today when we woke up, it was pissing down with rain. As we are high up, the clouds were all around us. We were tossing up whether to go on the trek, but Mai phoned and we said yes. So we met Mai and Chi at 9am. They were talking to a tourist which had me wondering if they were gathering a big group but it just was the one girl. We headed off to the market where they asked for some suggestions for lunch. We went for beef and tofu. They also wanted us to try bamboo.
Then we started the trek.
The girl was Manu, a social worker from France who had arrived in Sapa at 8am and phoned Chi on the recommendation of a friend.
We walked a lot and admired the scenery before arriving at Lau Chia village for lunch. Along the way we had seen some major infrastructure development and at the village we stopped at what may have been a new community centre. Lunch was prepared and was delightful. Way too much food. The bamboo was served with mushrooms and was great.
After lunch, we visited a little building where local work can be seen. There was a water mill hulling rice, indigo dying, weaving, a rice mill and I had a go on the local bamboo instrument. On to a distillery where I sampled the rice wine and then a visit to the school.
We walked through a couple more villages and arrived at the gift shop. It was time to buy from Mai and Chi. They started by giving us some small gifts. Then the Responsible Adult started negotiations and bought a few bits. Her main prize was a skirt that will be hung on a wall at la studio. My main prize was Chi’s necklace also to be a wall hanging. The Responsible Adult got it for$60. Starting price in the market was$100 for a far less impressive piece. Then I took Mai aside and gave her $40US for the tour with her decision as to what Chi would get. Mai and Chi had a small discussion but after Mai told me that she had split it. Then we got more gifts and the Responsible Adult bought one more cushion cover.
Time to say goodbye. Manu was heading off with Chi for a homestay. We got the minibus back to Sapa.
At cocktails we said goodbye to Jackie from Oz as she was heading back to Hanoi.
Cocktails and dinner were odd.We ordered some things we had before were different by a long way and the chicken with curry sauce came without sauce. When we asked we were told that there was no sauce. Hmmm.

Brown Bag It: This Summer for Lunch. June 24, 2009

You can sometimes find Banquet meals for less than $1.

A quick tip to save money is to not go out for lunch. Many execs and middle managers get comfortable going out with clients for lunch because they don’t have to pick up the check, but this can become a bad habit and even when they don’t have meetings they will still go out. It’s not that you have to bring your lunch all the time to work but it will save you money. Get organized and you can buy a frozen dinner for $1 – $3.50 or even bring leftovers for next to nothing. Most of the time you will spend anywhere from $5 – $12 for lunch. That’s 3 times as much! If you bring your lunch and just save that $4 each day, you will save an extra $1,000 each year for your budget. Just imagine, if you were someone that spends $12 on lunch every day, you could save up to $2,750 each year. You could use that money to pay down debt, use it for your next goal or spend that money on an all-inclusive vacation. This is a great way to save money and get out of debt. Watch the newspaper grocery ads for hot buys on frozen meals. Especially, at the first of the year, you can get some really great deals on healthy meals.

7 Deadly Signs That Experts Say Prove Your Marriage ISN’T Worth Saving

Years ago, my wife and I were faced with the difficult question of whether or not we should end our marriage.

After a bout of infidelity, things went from shaky to extremely hostile and toxic between us which left us both wondering: Is our marriage worth saving or would we be better off to simply walk away?

Through counseling and our own research, we got on the same page and ultimately determined that our marriage was indeed worth saving by asking ourselves the right questions and looking for certain “signs”.

By the end of this post, we hope that you too will have the clarity you desire and need to ultimately make the right decision for you.

Should You Save Your Marriage Or Move On? Ask Yourself the Following Questions…

Couple Deciding to Fix or End Marriage

In order to prevent a hasty or rash decision, consider the following questions that unhappily married couples should ask themselves.

Being mindful of the following questions will give you a deeper understanding of your relationship.

Pay close attention to how you respond to the questions in this article to better understand your true feelings. Also, it is crucial that you get the opinions of your spouse on these questions as well so you know where they stand too.

  1. Are you in love with your spouse or experiencing feelings of indifference?
  2. Have you both put in your best efforts to save the marriage?
  3. How would your children be affected by a divorce?
  4. Would you regret a divorce?

Now let’s examine each of these four questions a little deeper…

Do You Still Love One Another Or Are You Feeling Indifferent?

The first question addresses the elephant in the room.

When you imagine your marriage ending, do you feel tormented or relieved?

Your natural response to such an idea will tell you A LOT about how you feel deep down.

Also, it is important to figure out whether your spark has simply faded…or was never there to begin with.

Couples who lose their spark can often times reignite it with the proper time and effort. To the contrary, couples who married for the wrong reasons like financial stability, convenience, or children out of wedlock, oftentimes never had the spark to begin with and are at a disadvantage.

Lastly, what is the connection like?

Can you laugh, talk, and spend time around one another happily? Or does it feel like a war zone between you?

If there is an ease and comfortability there then it’s likely you both still harbor a good connection.

If Your Marriage Ended Tomorrow, How Would You Feel?

The second question is all about the effort on both of your behalves.

Would you be able to live with yourself knowing you did everything you could to save it?

What about your partner? Do you feel that they have put in their best effort as well?

If neither of you has tried and given their all, then you can’t honestly say whether things could work out or not.

Have you both truly gotten out of your comfort zones in an attempt to mend things?

Maybe you put yourself out there to see a therapist or were vulnerable in expressing your deepest thoughts to one another for the first time in ages?

Getting out of your comfort zone is a great way to gauge just how hard you’re trying. Couples who refuse to get out of their comfort zone likely don’t value the relationship enough to want to fix it.

How Would Your Divorce Affect Your Entire Family?

Many spouses believe their children can see the divorce coming and will feel relieved to see their parents stop fighting.

However, research has found that the vast majority of children prefer their parents staying together and divorce can leave them emotionally scarred well into adulthood.

Now, I’m not trying to scare you into staying together by bringing up the welfare of your children, I just want you to be aware of what research is showing.

Something else to consider in regards to your children is the thought of them being raised by someone other than a biological parent.

It is entirely possible your spouse may start dating at some point after the divorce and bring a new person around your children. Just be mentally prepared for that.

Lastly, keep in mind that because you share children together, your spouse will be a part of your life FOREVER. There is no clean break here.

Consider whether it would be easier on everyone involved if you and your partner were able to simply work things out and keep the family unit intact.

Do You Believe You Would Regret a Divorce Down the Road?

Although this may be hard to imagine given the turmoil you may currently be experiencing, keep the following in mind:

Studies have shown that oftentimes couples who report being unhappy in their marriage report being happy a few years later.

This is a true testament to what can be accomplished with consistent effort.

Also, another study took a sample of people who had gotten divorced and found that two-thirds of them wish they and their partner had “tried harder” to make it work.

This finding simply reinforces the importance of question #2 in that you need to feel absolutely sure you did everything you could to make it work. No one wants to live with that regret later on in life.

Also, consider where your problems and unhappiness TRULY stem from.

Often times couples who get divorced simply rediscover the same problems down the road in future relationships.

Consider trying to FIX the problems instead of simply ending the relationship.

Regardless of whatever decision you make, just take your time. You may even want to consider getting away for a weekend to be by yourself and clear your mind. In this peace, you may even have an “AHA” moment that brings you the clarity you’ve been searching for.

These are just some of the questions to consider if you’re asking yourself whether or not your marriage is worth saving. Since I have been in your shoes I do have some great resources to recommend to you for navigating this difficult time!

How to Know if Your Marriage is Really Over

Now that you hopefully have a better idea of if your marriage is worth saving, let’s discuss some tell tale signs that it isn’t worth saving.

In order to come to the conclusion that you should get a divorce, you must first ask yourself whether or not you are making the right decision.

How do you know your marriage is over? Well, it depends.

To determine whether or not you should get a divorce, consider the following 7 signs.

1. You’d Rather Be Alone

If you prefer being alone instead of being around your spouse, then that’s a huge warning sign.

Perhaps you don’t enjoy their company and you feel relieved when you have the house to yourself.

If both of you have tried to spend time together to rekindle the romance but it just hasn’t worked after valiant efforts on both of your behalves, then it may be time to call it quits.

2. Their Touch Makes You Flinch And Feel Uncomfortable

Wife Refusing to Have Sex

The romance is completely gone and perhaps you even feel repulsed by your spouse’s touch. Despite both of you giving it your all, your efforts to bring the spark back have unfortunately proven unsuccessful.

This alone is not a reason to get a divorce, but it does signal significant trouble in the marriage.

3. You Or Your Spouse Can’t Stay Faithful

Sometimes couples that experience infidelity are able to work on their issues and develop an even stronger relationship.

A huge component of this success is that there is only one affair and the cheater is committed to changing.

If you or your partner has had multiple affairs, its not even fair to be in a marriage.

If you’re unable to stop yourself from committing adultery, you probably don’t want to be monogamous and be tied down to one-person whether you can admit it or not.

There’s nothing wrong with choosing to have as many partners as you want, however, the issue is that you have made a vow to be monogamous. As the old saying goes, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

4. You Don’t See A Future With Your Spouse

No Future With Spouse

If you imagine your future and only see your personal fantasies being a reality, you’re likely disregarding the desires of your spouse.

A healthy marriage requires sacrifice and not getting to do everything you want.

5. You Just Don’t Care Anymore

You might be emotionally detached from your marriage if things that used to upset you now seem mundane.

For instance, your spouse did something that would usually make you angry, but at thing point, you simply just don’t care.

You’re indifferent and perhaps may have mentally and/or emotionally disconnected from the relationship.

If there is no desire to work on your marriage, then it may be time to consider throwing in the towel.

6. You Stop Confiding In Them

They’re no longer your go-to person to tell about your day.

It’s a red flag if you don’t feel safe confiding in them and instead turn to family members and friends.

Next time you have an urge to share something, pay close attention to who you naturally think of telling first.

7. Marriage Counseling Isn’t Working

Marriage Counseling Not Working

You have both sincerely demonstrated immense effort in saving your marriage.

You have sought out professional help from a couple’s counselor and have worked on what the counselor recommends.

After all of this, if things aren’t getting better you might have to accept that things aren’t meant to be.

Making the decision to end the relationship and get divorced should not be an emotional one, but instead be grounded in logic.

Be prepared to take the proper time to evaluate your feelings on a deeper level.

We hope the information above guides you in your decision to either save or end your marriage. Remember, only you can make an educated decision that best reflects your feelings and desires.

Bear in mind, that determining whether or not to end a marriage is no easy feat. There is no easy “yes” or “no” answer to this question, unless your emotional and physical safety are at stake!

If you ultimately decide that your marriage is worth saving, then I highly recommend using the same system my wife and I used if you need an alternative to marriage counseling. This is the one that really made a difference for us and helped us work through our issues.

Managed services may cost you a bit of a premium, but the best managed WordPress hosting providers are worth every penny. You won’t realize how much you want that extra level of support until something goes wrong. If your site going down due to expected or unexpected reasons would be detrimental, and if you don’t have the technical expertise to get things back on track, I’d highly recommend looking into managed hosting. Consider it an investment in peace of mind.
Well, you went over speed and pricing but what about security. Who has the best overall when security is figured in. I ask because one of the ones you have listed I am on and they didn’t catch the websites being hacked I have 17 websites with code in them, they didn’t catch. It looks like bitcoin mining to me. See I keep asking why my website was loading so slow and they keep saying it was because they were not optimized right. Now the same sites were loading in 1.6 seconds to 1.8. Now they were taking 6.5 to 8 and even 9 seconds to load. THey cost me a great deal of time and money over this and even my backups are junk. I add this also they never found the problem till I personally found the problem and pointed it out. Needless to say, I am done with them…
What we don’t like about their billing process, is that although they offer 30-day money-back, your hosting will automatically renew up to fifteen (15) days before the end of your current term. Furthermore, there are lots of upsells you might want to consider, such as upgrading your plan, as they have concerning bandwidth and storage policy (see Support transcript).

Bottom line, managed WordPress hosting is hassle free fast WordPress hosting with high-quality support from staff with lots of WordPress experience.

Lifeguard patrols taking COVID precautions

Five lifeguards in coastal Delaware have tested positive for COVID-19 so far. (Special to the Delaware State News/Chuck Snyder)

REHOBOTH BEACH — After three Rehoboth Beach lifeguards tested positive for COVID-19 followed by two Delaware State Park lifeguards on Tuesday, beach patrols in coastal Delaware are continuing to enforce health precautions in order to prevent further transmission of the virus.

Nikki Lavoie , chief of Public Affairs for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control said that the two affected State Park lifeguards are now self-isolating at home as the state contacts individuals who may have been infected.

“Our lifeguards perform a crucial role in protecting visitors at our beaches at Delaware State Parks,” Ms. Lavoie said. “DNREC continues to follow recommended best practices to minimize health risks to park-goers and our Beach Patrol team, including a strict cleaning protocol for public spaces and sanitizing of staff workstations.”

Rehoboth Beach Patrol Captain Kent Buckson said he was working to place as many lifeguards on the beach as possible, (Special to the Delaware State News/Chuck Snyder)

DNREC also announced Wednesday they would be implementing a 60% capacity limit on their Cape Henlopen, Delaware Seashore, and Fenwick Island parks effective Friday. Once those parking lots reach 60% capacity, park staff will turn away visitors and prohibit them from forming lines to enter the park.

Rehoboth Beach Patrol Captain Kent Buckson said Wednesday he was working to place as many lifeguards on the beach as possible, however, the patrol was facing difficulties with staffing before the three lifeguards tested positive and began to self isolate. The patrol started the season with less staff than usual.

“Anytime you lose staff, especially seasonal staff, it puts a strain on your operation,” Mr. Buckson said. “We’re able to still maintain coverage on the beach, we’re just stretched a little bit more thin than I would like.”

An understaffed patrol team could result in only one lifeguard to a chair, or no lifeguard chair at all on some streets compared to the ideal two guards per chair.

“We’re understaffed, and we started out the summer understaffed,” Mr. Buckson said. “Obviously, losing guards to the virus is a concern more for them and their wellbeing, and obviously the beach patrol.”

Mr. Buckson said that although the Rehoboth Beach Patrol may have to remove some chairs later in the summer, there will still be lifeguards present on most streets.

“Any families or visitors to the beach for the day, week, or throughout the summer, they would be served best to seek out where local lifeguards are stationed, and swim near a lifeguard,” he said. “They may not always find a lifeguard right off the street they want to sit on, but if they travel a little north or south, they’ll be able to find a lifeguard.”

As of Wednesday night, the Rehoboth Beach and Delaware State Park beach patrols were the only beaches to report lifeguards infected with COVID-19.

However, coastal beach patrols are still taking the threat of COVID-19 seriously.

Bethany Beach Patrol Captain Joe Donnelly said they check lifeguards’ temperatures every day among other precautions.

“We’re following all the things that, you know, that have been asked of us, and recommended to us by various agencies,” he said. “And so far, it’s taking some getting used to, but it seems to be working.”

Dewey Beach Patrol has limited one lifeguard on a chair at a time, according to Patrol Captain Todd Fritchman.

“We have a rigid and straightforward protocol that we’re implementing every minute of every day to avoid contracting the virus and having that amongst the ranks of the beach patrol, but we also realize that everybody on the planet is going to be exposed to the virus sometime, somehow,” he said.

Although the Dewey Beach Patrol is implementing many suggested precautions, Mr. Fritchman said it is difficult to control what lifeguards come in contact with outside of work.

“I’m very confident in our protocols and our implementations procedures of those protocols,” he said. “However, lifeguards do not stay on duty 24 hours a day. They dwo go out into their worlds and their lives, and that’s not something I can control.”

Fenwick Island Beach Patrol Captain John Rykaczewski expressed similar concerns, saying he is confident in Fenwick’s precautions, yet he is encouraging lifeguards to social distance in their personal life as well.

“We put in every precaution that’s possible to make sure that our guards and staff are safe as well as our beach patrons,” Mr. Rykaczewski said. “We also try to regulate what they do outside of work as well. Make sure that they stay within the social distancing and staying out of crowded places and so forth as well. That’s just something that we can’t control and we can’t force, but it’s highly recommended.”

Delaware has reported increased positive cases in the Sussex County beach resort ZIP codes in recent weeks.

Captain Donnelly of Bethany Beach reminded visitors they should check town regulations before visiting any beaches in the area.

“The biggest message that we try to get out to the public is just follow what your town or beach that you’re visiting, whatever it may be, Rehoboth all the way down to Fenwick and Ocean City, Maryland, wherever. Just follow what town officials are asking you to do,” Mr. Donnelly said.

State officials encouraged those who have visited the Rehoboth area in the past two weeks to monitor their symptoms and get tested for the virus. For testing locations, visit coronavirus.delaware.gov/testing/.

“As the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry created a business climate that produced millions of new jobs and lower energy prices in his state, and he will bring that same approach to our entire country as Secretary of Energy,” Trump said in a statement released by his transition team.

Perry said in a statement that he was “humbled” by Trump’s trust in him. “As the former governor of the nation’s largest energy producing state, I know American energy is critical to our economy and our security. I look forward to engaging in a conversation about the development, stewardship and regulation of our energy resources, safeguarding our nuclear arsenal, and promoting an American energy policy that creates jobs and puts America first.”

Rick Perry is sure to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse within the Department of Energy. In the past, Perry announced numerous times that he believes the department should be eliminated altogether.

Tarrant County Dwi Lawyer

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a crime under both federal and all state laws in the U.S. Countrywide, there’s a fatality every 50 minutes resulting from car crashes because of alcohol-impaired driving. That’s why there are dire consequences for DWI, especially in Texas.

At Cole Paschall Law, we work to ensure that a DWI incidence does not have long-lasting effects on our clients. With a Tarrant county DWI lawyer from our firm, residents in Fort Worth have a good chance of getting acquitted or lesser charges.

What Happens When a Police Officer in Texas Stops You For DWI?

When a police officer stops you for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, they will expect you to do the following:

  • Produce your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and the vehicle’s registration.
  • They may require you to take a breath or blood test to determine your blood alcohol concentration.

You have the right to not take the test, but there are immediate consequences, whereby your license will be suspended for 180 days. The officer will confiscate your license at the scene, give you a suspension notice, then issue you with a driving permit. To contest the suspension, you will have to request a hearing within 15 days after being served the notice. If you fail to do so, the suspension will go into effect on the 40th day after your arrest.

How to Avoid License Suspension

You can have a lawyer represent you at the administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing, which is when the transport department decides whether to suspend your license or not. During the hearing, you can challenge the evidence against you and even bring witnesses to testify on your behalf.

This will proceed a lot better if you have an experienced Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)lawyer handling your case. With their legal skills, they will ensure that you don’t incriminate yourself, and also look for ways to discredit the evidence presented against you.

How Long Does a DWI Remain in Your Record in Texas?

In Texas, every DWI offense remains in your criminal record permanently. Hence, it’s available to anyone who checks your criminal history, including potential employers and landlords. Fortunately, the law allows you to have the DWI sealed or hidden from public view. You can have a lawyer assist you in pursuing this option if:

  • You have completed all your sentences after your DWI conviction.
  • You’re a first time DWI offender.
  • At the time of arrest, your blood alcohol concentration was 0.15 percent or below.

If your nondisclosure appeal is successful, your DWI will be sealed, and it will no longer appear in your criminal record.

Get the Right Legal Representation

Texas has some of the harshest DWI laws in the country. That’s why you should reach out to us at Cole Paschall Law the moment you get charged with a DWI. If you’re convicted, there are harsh consequences, but we can help you avoid that. When you contact us as soon as possible, we’ll do our best to have your charges dropped, reduced, or help you get acquitted if you go to trial. Give us a call today on (817) 477-4100 to get a Tarrant County DWI lawyer.

How I use Trello for development

A Trello board is a list of lists, filled with cards, used by you and your team.

The idea of a board is to give you a clear view into what I'm working on, what I'm about to work on, and what I'm thinking about working on.

I have individual Teams setup for clients/projects, and new Boards for each site. Using the Scrum or Kanban approach that software developers use to maximise their productivity, I split the Boards up into left-to-right columns such as: Helpful Info, Marketing, Suggestions, To Do, On Hold, In Progress, Quality Assurance, Done, Archived

It’s just a matter of adding each manageable task into the required column, and drag and drop the virtual post-it notes as I progress through a task.

I'll explain each below:

  • Helpful Info: Contains helpful information for navigating the client requirements, target website launch date, email addresses, expenses etc.
  • Marketing: Includes Style guide and branding information for the website, Logo's, Social Media Accounts.
  • Suggestions: External or internal Feature requests.
  • To Do: Tasks that are upcoming to be completed.
  • In Progress: A list of things under construction!
  • On Hold / Waiting for Client: Tasks that require more information from the client to complete.
  • Quality Assurance / Testing Required: Tasks that have to be checked by the client for approval and moved to Done, or returned to the To Do list.
  • Done: Tasks that have been approved and completed.
  • Archived: Tasks that have been permanently Archived.

Here is a link to the Template I use for website development, feel free to make a copy for your own projects.

Trello 101 - Board Basics

A Trello board only has four key components, but comes with unlimited possibility:

Boards - A board represents a project or a place to keep track of information. Whether you are launching a new website, or planning a vacation, a Trello board is the place to organize your tasks and collaborate with your colleagues, family, or friends.

Lists - Lists keep cards (C) organized in their various stages of progress. They can be used to create a workflow where cards are moved across lists from start to finish, or simply act as a place to keep track of ideas and information. There’s no limit to the number of lists you can add to a board, and they can be arranged however you like.

A basic (but effective) list setup for a board might be simply To Do, Doing, and Done, where cards start in the To Do list and make their way to the Done list. But don’t forget: Trello is truly customizable to your unique needs, so you can name your lists anything you like! Whether it’s basic Kanban, a sales pipeline, a marketing calendar, or project management, what matters most is establishing a workflow for the way your team works.

Cards - The fundamental unit of a board is a card. Cards are used to represent tasks and ideas. A card can be something that needs to get done, like a blog post to be written, or something that needs to be remembered, like company vacation policies. Just click “Add a card…” at the bottom of any list to create a new card, and give it a name like “Pick up the dry cleaning” or “Write a blog post.”

Cards can be customized to hold a wide variety of useful information by clicking on them. Drag and drop cards across lists to show progress. There’s no limit to the number of cards you can add to a board.

Menu - On the right side of your Trello board is the menu—the mission control center for your board. The menu is where you manage members, control settings, filter cards, and enable Power-Ups. You can also see all of the activity that has taken place on a board in the menu’s activity feed. Take some time to check out everything the menu has to offer.

30 Second Smile Review

The information that follows is one way to look at this information, and after reading the article you are free to form your own opinion. Whether or not you agree with the subject matter is up to you, and you are certainly free to make up your own mind about the material presented here. We hope you find some useful pointers in your search for information about 30 second smile.

Everyone deserves a smile that they can be proud to show off without hesitation. Getting the perfect smile is not impossible, it just requires some good, clean, proper and thorough cleaning of your teeth on a daily basis. But sometimes an ordinary toothbrush just won’t cut it and that’s when you start to bring in the big guns – the 30 Second Smile teeth cleaning kit.

And ordinary toothbrush will clean your teeth all right enough, but it won’t give them the proper and thorough cleaning that is needed to get that polished look you get if you were to go for a cleaning session at your local dentist. To achieve such a result at home with an ordinary toothbrush is impossible, unless of course your toothbrush is the 30 Second Smile one.

Compared to an ordinary toothbrush, the 30 Second Smile toothbrush comes with six brush heads, and these brush heads are what is responsible for cleaning your teeth so thoroughly. The bristles surround your teeth from all angles and sides, practically covering your entire tooth among the bristles and put them through a good and proper cleaning session.

And all you need to do is spend 30 seconds a day cleaning your teeth! That is all it takes 30 seconds for a proper cleaning session better than that any ordinary toothbrush can promise you and you get even better results! Hence the name the 30 Second Smile teeth cleaning kit. Because it literally only takes 30 seconds of your time.

And the 30 Second Smile toothbrush can do something else that an ordinary toothbrush can’t too – it makes your teeth whiter after a couple of sessions! Which should be no surprise actually, since the toothbrush works to clean your teeth in such a thorough manner. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll never go back to using an ordinary toothbrush ever again.

Tasik Divers Derawan

frequently asked questions

The Derawan Islands (Kepulauan Derawan) are in the province of East Kalimantan in Indonesia. They include Derawan, Sangalaki, Kakaban, Maratua, Panjang and Samama Island and submerged reefs and islets. They are located in the Sulawesi (Celebes) Sea, on the coastal shelf of East Kalimantan (2°17’N – 118°13’E).

What is so special about Derawan?

Located in a biodiversity hotspot, the Derawan Islands feature 872 species of reef fishes, 507 species of coral, and invertebrates, including protected species (5 giants clam species, 2 sea turtles, coconut crab, etc). Some of the islands harbour the largest green turtle nesting sites in Indonesia.

Another highlight is the Jellyfish Lake at nearby Kakaban Island. Thousands of years ago during the Holocene period, an uplifting had trapped an area of seawater, turning it into a land-locked saltwater lake, similar to the one found in Palau, Micronesia. The beauty of Jellyfish Lake is that it supports an amazing array of unique marine animal and plant life. The lake has four different species of stingless jellyfish, including one that swims upside down. It also supports many species of fish (mainly gobies). Algae, sponges, tube worms and tunicates cover the lake�s mangrove roots, as well as sea cucumbers and bi-valves. Anemones and even sea snakes have also been seen here.
