Red flags to look out for
Posted by admin in IT Support on November 8, 2019
Did you know Phishing currently accounts for 90% of data breaches with 30% of Phishing emails being opened? Most of the time these phishing scams can be prevented with a bit of simple know-how.
It’s important that you remain alert, vigilant and secure at all times. To prevent personal and business data loss.
Below are a few handy tips from our weekly phishing blog.
Tip 1 – Inspect the email display name
A major tactic that phishing criminals use is spoofing the display name of an email. For example, a criminal could setup an email to impersonate your bank. Such as:
On closer inspection, you will notice the domain name @mybank.co.uk. This domain name has nothing to do with your bank. This is a classic attempt of phishing.
Always check the email header. If you think its suspicious flag it and alert your IT Provider.
Tip 2 – Hover but don’t click!
Scammers love to embed malware within links in the email copy. The link looks legitimate until you click it and it’s too late. A simple trick is to simply hover you mouse over the link. And take note of the full link displayed. If the full link it looks suspicious rather flag and delete the email.
Tip 3 – Look out for personal or company detail requests
Most businesses will never ask for sensitive credentials via email. And 100% of the time banks will never request any sensitive information via mail.
Any emails requesting you to email back you login credentials is an instant red flag.

A fine memorial to wish them goodbye
Posted by admin in Funeral Services on October 13, 2019
Benjamin Franklin, wrote in 1789 that “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” This is something that is very difficult to dispute, even to this day.
This unadulterated truth may well be the case however something that does not have to be as prescribed, is the way in which we celebrate the life of a person when the time comes to bid farewell.
As a child, I was told that my parents felt that I was old enough to go to my grandmother’s funeral which was held in a catholic church which my grandmother fellowshipped during her later years. The church was fairly modern in design, with an unusual flat room, large and interesting stain glass windows filled the room with light; a modernised pulpit took center stage on a slightly raised platform. It was my first funeral and I had no idea what to expect. My grandmother was presented in a closed casket in the middle of the room, towards the front. Her casket was covered in flowers and stood pronounced in the room. It was the first time I had seen a casket and morbidly wondered what it must be like inside one. Those attending were quiet and sombre, despite the pretty colours streaming in through the windows. The hymns were slow and laboured and the priest played his part as he held his censer below the narrowing plate with one hand, allowing it to swing freely. This image is etched in my mind but so is the feeling of complete disconnect I felt.
Death may be a certainty but the type of funeral you chose, does not have to be. Traditions are beautiful and very much required as a part of society to help bring us together in community to mark the special events which punctuate our lives. When it came time for me to bid farewell to my own mother, I knew that there was another way to go about celebrating her life, which is what I know she wanted.
With the help of Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors, I was able to replace the sombre memory I had of my grandmother’s passing but choosing an alternative funeral for my mother. When it comes to thinking about it, there are many ways in which you can say “I love you” one more time at the funeral of your loved one. Traditional funerals are often being replaced by original funerals which are far more personal and individual funerals as the life of the person you are saying goodbye to. Lodge Brothers have extensive experience assisting families with special funeral requests and will also provide you with various alternate ideas for the day. A funeral is always sad but can it can also be beautiful, simple, sentimental and heartfelt event that can give you peace of mind knowing that you have celebrated someone’s life in the most respectful and positive way possible.

Dukes of Daisy rent friend service is brilliant, easy and safe to use. The whole concept is based on a platonic dating service and is giving this type of service a fresh face-lift. So many dating sites are simply hook up sites which is great for those who in that space but not everybody may be looking for that type of rendezvous. Obviously everyone is keen on spending time with someone who is intriguing to them on a physical level and that is what you can immediately see from the Dukes of Daisy website. The pictures are there, just like any other dating site, for a person to filter and browse through. Initially you may be drawn to someone because of their appearance. However at the end of the day you never really know until you meet the person.
Dating is tricky enough as it is for singletons who are wondering how to meet people, for whatever reason. Dukes of Daisy is great and different in that there is someone there to help you navigate your way. The office administration assistance from Jessica makes it easier especially if you are wondering if this is the site that you want to spend your hard-earned cash on! Many sites are out there, offering similar services but none are as transparent as Dukes of Daisy.
If you want to find a date, for a special occasion or no occasion in particular, except to take some time out and engage with someone with similar interests to you in a safe and non-threatening way, then Dukes of Daisy is the place to go. With other sites, a person could invest a lot of time and energy just to realise that the people with whom they are engaging are really looking for that instant hook up.

Dukes of Daisy escorts know that this is a purely platonic service and even the description, rent a friend service, shows that the intention of the website is different.
Busy people may not always find the time to invest in going out and about to meet people.

Stand out from the marquee crowd
Posted by admin in DIY Marquees on October 8, 2019
As we embrace the slow change in season and slide into the downhill stretch towards the Christmas season, most vendors are shutting up shop for the year. Those who are still busy from the month of October through to the end of the year are doing well! However if you are slowing down, it just means that things will change somewhat in terms of what people are looking for as well as how the marquees need to be dealt with when erecting. If you understand the landscape and embrace the change, continuing through to the festive season will not cause any issues for your business.
Obviously with marquees being temporary structures, it is of great importance to your business that the marquee which you are using is designed to be extra durable and strong. No matter where or what time of year you use your marquee, these two aspects are what you will need to consider first and foremost. All the DIY marquees are cost-effective without compromising strength and durability to face all types of weather, protecting your investment and your patrons. The initial outlay for a marquee may appear to be considerable at face value yet the sheer number of choices that you have, ensures that you will certainly find the ideal value for money that you are looking for. Popular marquees can be found on the DIY marquee website. Take for example the traditional 9m by 18m 4 season marquee. Features include 500gsm Duracoretex PVC roof and sides which is wind protective and flame retardant. Made with 38mm & 50mm Steel pipes, this marquee is a steal from just £1800.00.
Commercial Demi marquees for sale are also frequent sellers. A 3m by 6m Demi Commercial marquees for sale is suitable for all seasons with the same 500gsm Duracoretex PVC roof and sides and is similarly flame retardant. With roof and eave braces, purlins and a ground bar and 38mm steel framework, this ideal marquee is selling from just £550. Consider purchasing a green commercial 4x6m marquee with the same specs as the commercial demi, for just £708.
Some tips that can assist you with your marquees as you head into the colder months can help like factoring the effect of the weather on your marquee. allowing for more time to put your marquee up as a result of higher winds and wetter days. It’s a good idea to place your marquees butted up against a permanent structure or well tied to any other permanent or stable structure. Use a walkway with sides if the winds really pick up, and ensure that they are secured fast so that they don’t flap into the passageway. Being colder with fewer daylight hours means you have may struggle more with the erection of your marquee in that you have less time and less dexterity in your hands, especially when you start needing gloves for the outdoors. Another thing to remember is to allow for more maintenance of your marquee. Cold weather, snow, and rain will mean that the marquee is damp or wet at the time when you take it down. You will need to ensure that the marquee is properly dried before you pack it away which can sometimes prove easier said than done, in on-going wet weather. Making sure that the marquee is dry before you pack away will ensure the longevity of all of the materials.
In the event of snow on the horizon, take a look at all of the options for heating that we recommend on the DIY website. A little hint on the heating would be to leave the heating on very low so as to prevent it building up on the roof. In heavy snow, you may want to consider placing wooden floors down, for 2 reasons: They will give your patrons a solid surface but 2. You are raising the height of the floor! This is a good albeit expensive solution especially when you are raising on soft ground which is prone to waterlogging or even on a hard surface where water may be likely to come back up and under the sides.
Tantra will help clear emotional and physical ailments
Posted by admin in Mal Weerarante on October 6, 2019
The ancient art of Tantra is tainted by the judgements and perceptions of those who presume, without foundation, that tantra is all about the physical act of achieving sustained and continuous climax using methods which allow a couple to remain engaged in the physical act for extended periods of time, purely with the goal of remaining in that heightened state of utter enthralment for longer periods of time. This makes tantra appear to be a very selfish act geared towards self-gratification between couples. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. As Tanta master, Mal Weeraratne explains, tantra only works when there is heightened trust and connection between men and women who are connected on the deepest and most grounded level that the base chakra is responsible for. Western views often misconstrue the practice as being purely physical and negate the spiritual aspects of tantra and tantric practices. Tantra is the achievement of a lifelong spiritual journey achieved only by truly and spiritually understanding oneself in order to essentially connect with another.
The body is more than just the physical. The body is a complex network of physical, emotional and energetic centres that work in unison. When one or more of these aspects of the body are in a negative state, this can product the block in the energy centres thereby stopping the natural processing of the physical body. The more that energy finds itself misplaced or misdirected, the more change of a person experiencing discomfort or disease in the physical aspects of the body.
What is misunderstood about Tantra, explains Mal Weeraratne, is that is has the ability to facilitate the body back to functioning is it was always meant to. Physical ailments and problems which some of the patients who come to Mal Weeraratne, looking for answers, can be remedied naturally and easily, with Mal Weeraratne’s expertise and understanding of the energy systems in our bodies. Ailments including Vaginismus, depression and anxiety, addictions, insomnia, stress, body aches and so forth can be relieved using this ancient eastern technique.
Notwithstanding the physical aspects, so too can Tantra assist with a number of emotions issues which both men and women may manifest in their relationships with themselves and others. Relationship issues, arousal disorders, inability to trust a partner, fear of love and intimacy and insecurity resulting from a lack of confidence can be diffused through this simple practice which instil trust and returns the body to its natural self-healing state, enabling more honest and truthful relationships.
Those who misunderstand Tantra will tell you that Tantra is all physical but the reality is that it is more to do with focusing on the connection which is why it is more often than not, a source of great healing which can be seen in many parts of your life. Tantra allows the body to flow energy freely throughout the body so that it reaches every part for many hours after the practice has ended.
If you are someone who is currently suffering from one of the physical or emotional ailments mentioned, Mal Weeraratne is based in central London and practices 7 days a week. Explore the opportunity to release negative emotions and restore your body and mind to balanced health again.

Dating the easy way
Posted by admin in Companion services on September 10, 2019
You are a strong and independent business woman with a career path trajectory that quite frankly out-shines the Tesla Roadster on any given day. This type of hard work and determination comes from years of self-discipline and dedication to an outcome that you have invested time, money and energy into, sacrificing all else to achieve the dream. The business world is a challenging environment, one where feelings are deemed as weakness and room for error is smaller than your chances of getting a date this Saturday night. When it comes to defining what it is you want out of life, you know what it takes and you know what sacrifices you have to make and you own your choices.
The only problem is your nagging mother who keeps putting a flea in your ear about all work and no play. Bless her, but what does she know about the cutting edge world you live in and how in fact you really aren’t that keen on dealing with screaming, regurgitating infants, snotty toddlers and the tantrums of the terrible twos (through years 3 to 9!) In actual fact, there’s nothing remotely like that that anticipated on your 5 year plan.
Still, no woman is an island and there’s this perpetual rumour about balanced living and healthy lifestyles and even the great outdoors which, if you put your mind to it, you can vaguely remember from your childhood visit to the Lakes District a decade or so ago. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to safely meet people, without actually leaving your home and putting the pause button on your busy life? A way which doesn’t require a commitment to the process of weeding out the “un-suitable” and pinning down the “possibly-ies”? Where you know what you are getting from the get-go?
Well, Dukes of Daisy has been there, done that and helped thousands to register an escort, rent a friend or Non-Sexual Female Escorts UK and to meet up with someone just like you. If you know what you are looking for, and you do, simply click on to the website and start your search for your next companion date. No Mom, I’m not getting married; I simply wish to enjoy some time-out in a way that I enjoy, with no strings attached. Life has so many variations which do not fit into the traditional perceptions of gender and perpetuating the status quo went out with last year’s fashion colours. Get with the program, rent a friend and choose how you want to spend your time and with who. Doing what you like to do so that you remain focused on the most important thing in your life. That’s YOU. Meeting the expectations of others will never serve you at the end of the day and we all know why that is – because the only person that you have to truly live with is yourself. So go ahead and grab life with both hands the way you want to and forget the judgers and the haters. You have an endless stream of good times ahead and no one is standing in your way. Live the Dukes of Daisy way!
