Take another five with Technology

The take another five segment is to introduce you to apps Donna thinks you may be interested in. On a weekly basis, Donna brings you some interesting applications you can install on your device, and try out. “I’ll tell you why I like these applications, and how I use these applications in my day.”

The first application to enter deuce you to this week is a amazing chime for you. A friend of Donna’s a couple of years ago introduced it to her, She uses it every day. Donna simply loves the Westminster's chimes application, but I understand that others might not love it as well. For me, it keeps me on track of time and was very easy to install and set up.

Click this link to get the Westminster's chimes application

Click get, it's a free application.

When you open the application there are three different types of chime request, you can choose when you want the application to alert you, hourly, every quarter hour, or a half hour.

The chimes are very clear, and the sound is very nice as well. If you are looking to keep track of your time, definitely check out this amazing chime.

The BBC application is my second recommended application this week for the take another five technology section. Donna uses this application to keep up-to-date with international news, as the BBC is well known for keeping their subscribers up to date with the latest international news. This application serves me very well, and all of the options are easy to choose. Navigation make sense, and you can access all of The international news. Was it mentioned it’s free?

Take another five, help us beat the bullies and scams

This segment is produced because Donna believes that we all need to become more aware of those scams that are floating around. In addition, it's important to be aware of bullying. The campaign against bullying is something Donna is very passionate about, you'll learn more about that by clicking this link.

This week we're going to chat about those scams you're constantly being bombarded with.

Specifically, those emails asking you to verify your personal information for financial institutions.

"Just delete this email, it's no good".

Donna says that no financial institution worth it's pennies will ever send you an email asking you to login and verify your username and password. Simply delete any email asking you to do this, and if you're not sure about this please feel free to go to your bank and ask them if they will ever send you an email requesting you to login and verify your information. Most cases, your bank is going to tell you that they don't. So again, simply delete that message.

Building awareness about bullying

Each time we raise our voice, we are engaging in bullying. Each time we demand something, we are engaging in bullying. Each time we carry out a hostile gesture towards someone else, we are engaging in bullying. We need to stop the threat of bullying, and how do we do this?
