IT Tech Tip

Automate Laptop Screen Brightness For Your Tired Eyes

Blue light is known to interfere with our ability to sleep. Windows has an automatic light switcher that allows users to adjust automatically to warmer colors when lighting in the environment changes. To set this, right-click the “Start” button, search “Night Light,” and click on it. Select “Schedule night light” and set whatever hours you like.

To The Rescue is Hiring

All available positions, as well as direct links to the corresponding job descriptions, are available on our To The Rescue website, careers.totherescue.net.

To The Rescue staff interested in a posted position should submit a letter of interest and resume to [email protected], or complete the online application available in the ADP Career Center.

NATIONAL TODAY

September 13 is

Positive Thinking Day

Positive Thinking Day is celebrated on September 13 every year to highlight the rewards of positive thinking. Positive Thinking Day is all about thinking positive thoughts. It’s easy to be pessimistic and cynical about things — which is not entirely bad because it prepares you for the worst. However, too much negativity can have an adverse impact on our emotional well-being. Research says that you can prolong your life with happiness and optimism. So, on Positive Thinking Day, and other days too, train yourself to see the bright side in every situation and keep a positive attitude always.
