Internet Doomsday - protect yourself

Another hacker-created crisis approaches in July. Read this article Internet Doomsday - protect yourself for explanation of the malware and how to cope with it.

I just don't understand the mentality of destroying others' computers, information, and systems. A scientist friend of mine says that it is a "power" thing.  Do you think these nerds need to get a real life?

What can I do to help?

Have you or a loved one ever been in an overwhelming situation such as major accident, chronic illness, fire, or other situation? The needs are critical, the friends wanting to help but the responsible person is overwhelmed and time challenged by the event.

I'd like to recommend an on-line resource to get help needed in ways that make it comfortable for both the givers and the recipients -- LotsaHelpingHands.com. This has been a blessing to one of my clients dealing with a family member's critical health issues.

The opening lines of their homepage explain the concept:

"It’s the question everyone asks in a crisis—but often, people don’t know how best to answer it, or even how to get started. Lotsa Helping Hands provides an answer.

Create a free, private Community web site to organize family and friends during times of need. Use the calendar in your private Community to match volunteers to needed tasks. Send announcements to keep everyone up to date. Tap into resources from leading caregiver and health organizations.

Coordinate Caregiving With A Community

If you’re a caregiver who’s feeling overwhelmed, know someone experiencing a difficult time, or are simply working with others in your community, we provide a way to turn heartfelt intentions into acts of good that truly help. Lotsa Helping Hands brings:

• Peace of mind for a family in crisis
• Respite for caregivers
• An efficient solution for eager friends and family

Lotsa Helping Hands is always free. Community web sites are always private and simple to use."

May this be a blessing to you or your loved ones who are in a crisis situation.
