Digital Decluttering Tips For Your Connected Life
Nowadays, organizing your digital possessions, such as beloved photos and videos, and backing up important data, like school and business records, is just as important as keeping your physical surroundings orderly.
Why is backing up data so important? Because so many things can go wrong: from spilling water on your laptop to losing your phone to experiencing a natural disaster. Plus, there's cybersecurity to think about- a PC infected by malware is a common cause of data loss.
If you're like most people and have precious data you want to protect, a common rule of thumb for keeping important files from disappearing forever is the 3-2-1 rule:
* Have three total copies of your data.
* Save copies on two different types of media or devices.
* Keep one backup copy off-site in case of disaster.
"Whether it's a senior thesis, your business plan or cherished family photos and videos, if it's important to you, back it up," says Nitin Kachhwaha, director of product management, Western Digital. "Having a practical 3-2-1 backup strategy in place is essential to providing peace of mind and preserving your files for the future."
If you're looking for storage solutions to back up your data, one great option is the My Book desktop drive from WD, which is designed to complement your life with massive space to store your files, ranging from 4TB to 22TB of capacity. An alternative option from the WD brand is the popular and portable My Passport Ultra hard drive that comes with storage up to 6TB, which is the world's highest capacity 2.5 inch drive. This is a great storage companion for those with an on-the-go lifestyle, equipped with password protection for an extra level of security. (Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment. Download and installation required. Terms and conditions apply. User account registration may be required.)
Both come with automatic backup software so you can maintain peace of mind knowing that you are helping keep your data safe. For more information and backup solution ideas, visit https://wd.com.
These days, decluttering doesn't just refer to nixing household clutter and cleaning out closets, it also includes organizing your digital life by helping to protect your treasured and sensitive data.

Carlos Bravo, a standout community businessman, held an informational introduction to a program called Creative Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO). This is a part of Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship. They prepare student for business in a real-world environment and create entrepreneurial thinkers.
The meeting was Thursday, July 25, at El Camino Restaurant in Salem, which is owned by Bravo.
The program is for high school juniors and seniors on the path to graduation. Basically, the student has classroom training and also works for and is mentored by a business owner. The student must go through an application process to get into the program. CEO is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) and costs the school and student nothing. The student will learn all about running and starting a business.
Bravo said,” It is a fight to help Salem grow. I learned the hard way up and down.” There was no one to help and teach him about running a business. He feels this will help to keep young people in Salem.
He continued, “This will prepare students to sell themselves.” The student will be more confident. The business owner will be teaching the student the ins and outs.
Over the past 15 years, the CEO program has helped communities all over the United States. CEO is a proven model that yields results. The program is in 11 states with 4800 graduates, and 74 programs in various states. It cost the student and the school nothing. It depends on contributions from the local businesses.
Bravo said, “It’s not going to help make you more money.” It is an investment in the community. Bravo, who has spent 23 years in Salem, is very passionate about this project.
Speaking at the presentation was Molly Blythe, a past student of the program. Representing business was the owner of Ace Hardware in Hardinsburg, Mark Ratzloff. He spoke of the need for this program. He said, “Washington County needs a reassessment of their values. There is a lack of parental responsibilities.”
Also speaking was Keegan Hash of Morning Harvest Produce.

Campbellsburg, Ind., July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A hearing officer for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decisively recommended that Metal Powder Products' (MPP) objections to the April 10th union election be overruled, where a majority of workers at the Campbellsburg plant voted to join the industrial division of the Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA). This ruling underscores MPP's persistent and underhanded attempts to obstruct its employees' rights to unionize and seek fair representation.
Following a thorough review, the NLRB’s hearing officer found no credible evidence to substantiate MPP's allegations or to rerun the election. Consequently, the hearing officer overruled the objections in their entirety, confirming the legitimacy of the workers' decision to unionize and shedding light on ongoing concerns regarding MPP's treatment of its workforce.
Recently, IUE-CWA filed several Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charges against MPP, alleging the company engaged in unlawful conduct. These charges included unlawful interrogation, perceived surveillance, and removal of union materials from workers' personal spaces. Together with MPP's baseless election objections, these actions underscore a troubling pattern aimed at suppressing workers' rights.
"MPP's attempts to disenfranchise its workers and sow discord have been exposed," said Carl Kennebrew, President of IUE-CWA. "Our members stand united, committed to achieving a workplace where their rights are respected and their voices heard. They will not be silenced by the company’s bullying and intimidation tactics."
MPP, owned by Mill Point Capital, a New York-based private equity firm managing over $1.4 billion in capital commitments, faces increasing scrutiny regarding corporate responsibility and ethical governance. Investors and stakeholders alike should consider the implications of supporting companies that prioritize profits over fair treatment of their workforce.
Despite MPP's efforts to delay and contest the election, the workers at the Campbellsburg plant remain steadfast. They have elected a bargaining committee and stewards, with the first bargaining session scheduled for July 22nd. This group, comprising approximately 160 workers, will join workers at two IUE-CWA-represented facilities in Pennsylvania.
"The solidarity and determination of our members are unwavering," Kennebrew added. "As we enter negotiations, we remain committed to securing improved conditions and a brighter future for all employees at MPP."
IUE-CWA is the industrial division of Communication Workers of America representing a force of 150,000 active and retired men and women united collectively to seek dignity on the job and a secure future for ourselves, our children and all future generations.
