My safety tip is centered around cyber security. Always check the actual email address of the sender that鈥檚 asking you to process a request. The name may be someone within 爱神传媒, but if the email address isn鈥檛, it should be reported to IT.

What鈥檚 the best invention in the world and why?

Air conditioning is one of the best inventions in the world. Texas summer days tend to get well into the 3 digits. I can鈥檛 imagine enduring these hot days without A/C.
