Mark receives catalogs. Not just any catalogs, but the most obscure toy catalogs he has ever seen. And then on a whim he decides to order from one of them. Action figures. Maybe he should have thrown the catalogs away, because now he has his hands full- and there are no refunds and no returns.
Cyber harassers are chasing us, offenders are breaching into websites or make them inaccessible in cyberspace. Scammers posing as Nigerian princes, deceptive messages from phishers and ransomware are trying to deprive us of our property. Our own and also our workplace’s data and assets are both at risk every single day we use digital devices. What can we do to avoid our beautiful new digital world becoming a nightmare? This publication seeks to provide an answer to this. As a legal professional, the author has encountered several similar crime cases and explains from his experience what dangers are waiting for us, how to defend ourselves. We examine in detail the methods and means of perpetration, with practical examples. We analyze the possibilities of prevention, detection and protection one by one. We explain which prevention measure is effective and why, what signs suggest that we have become a victim, and what we can do if the worst has happened. Our publication starts from the basics and helps you learn in a simple, entertaining way, that benefits anyone who cares about his or her own digital security. We provide such knowledge, which is also a good starting point for future experts, who would get to know the world of cybercriminals more seriously because of their occupation or studies.

Mary Lee Meares, co-founder and elder, provides a fascinating look at the early years of a ministry that started in a tent and grew to become one of the largest congregations in the Washington Metropolitan region. The church was called the National Evangelistic Center and Evangel Temple before being named Evangel Cathedral (pastored by her son, Bishop Don Meares). Co-founder Bishop John L. Meares was a patriarch of the faith whose zeal for spiritual unity was an instrumental part of racial reconciliation in the Body of Christ, bringing blacks and whites together during a time of segregation. Popular ministers such as Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, Morris Cerullo, Nicky Cruz, John McTernan, T. L. Osborne and G. B. McDowell were guest speakers. During the early years of the ministry, Bishop Meares moved in the miraculous and thousands were healed, saved and set free as the church experienced continuous revival. The ministry received countless letters and testimonies about the move of God. So, Elder Mary wrote and published a monthly Fellowship News which kept thousands of subscribers informed. Elder Mary has painstakingly compiled select articles from that newsletter to preserve the history of this great ministry. This work consists of those clippings as well as testimonies, newspaper articles, news from the worldwide mission field, first-hand accounts, teaching, and encouragement.
