The computer malware that has spread across 150 countries appears to be slowing down but we are not out of the woods. With a few reports of fresh attacks in Asia and Europe on Monday, we are expecting additional attempts will continue throughout the week. If infected, your data will be encrypted and held for ransom for $300 to $600.

The best prevention is to avoid all emails you are not expecting.

If your network is managed by Intrada Technologies, we will be applying the Microsoft fix and rebooting machines throughout the day to apply the patch.

If you have a question about an email, please submit a help desk ticket to have the email checked before opening.

Sometimes, a client's technology needs go beyond the physical IT infrastructure driving their day-to-day business. Many of our clients do their best and most life-changing work outside of the home office. Luckily, Intrada and its sister communications company PRworks are used to coming up with creative solutions that leverage the deep bond between technology and communications. That's why we jumped at the chance to help our good friends at the River Valley Regional YMCA with their recent Annual Awards Dinner, a 151-year-old tradition.

In addition to providing seamless A/V support—equipping and managing all lighting, sound, and video projection for the night—we approached the client with an offer to share the night's highlights in real-time, uploading photos and videos to the client's Facebook page. By letting Intrada support the night's social media as well, the Y's communications and executive teams were instead able to focus on the night itself, graciously welcoming every attendee and ensuring the program went off without a hitch. But the real winners were the attendees, including our four-person team, who laughed, cheered, and cried right alongside the other 200-plus attendees over the course of the night. Story after story served as testimony to the life-changing good provided by the Y, a pillar of the Williamsport community. We marveled at range of emotions on display documenting the human condition.

From overcoming epilepsy through pilates, finding communal strength to battle cancer, or funneling grief into life-saving health changes, the night made clear that this group of people—this community—was a living, breathing entity, whose lives were deeply intertwined. And the Intrada team was so proud to be a part, helping behind the scenes to ensure the night was all the client had hoped for...and more.

"I remember vividly sitting in front of my black and white television at the age of 9 watching Walter Cronkite (one of my role models) reporting the news." That was the moment Bob Saline knew he wanted to embark on a career in the communications field. And although he originally wanted to follow in Cronkite's footsteps, public relations was (and is) his true calling.

Bob Saline, president & CEO (retired) of PRworks Inc., hails from Brockway, Pennsylvania—a borough in Jefferson County. He is the only child of a mother and father who instilled in him a love of people. "My parents would give the shirts off their backs for family and friends. Because my dad worked in the hot end of a glass blowing operation and my mom was a stay-at-home mom, they made sure I got through college without any debt, and did the same for some of our relatives. They were well respected in our community—just really good people."

The life lessons his parents taught him have been carried throughout his life, both personally and professionally. Bob has several passions, but mentoring is at the top of his list. "I have coached those in the PR field, individuals in my church—young families, people I have worked with. I truly enjoy it." Bob is a member and also volunteers at the Rotary Club of Harrisburg and Slate Hill Mennonite Church. "I have been through all of the leadership offices in Rotary and this April, I will join a team going to Haiti to put in a water filter at a rural school." In 2015, he and his wife managed the international media for the Mennonite World Conference that attracted more than 6,000 Anabaptists from around the globe and this year "I guided the publicity for our church's bicentennial celebration of the original church."
