Computer Scam in HRM!

... They called me last Saturday, tried to access my computer with remote software, I told them how I felt about their call, and they had multiple follow up calls threatening to sue me for telling them it's a scam? Anyway ... Read this:

HRP/RCMP Integrated Financial Crime Unit regularly takes complaints from citizens who have received a call from someone claiming to represent a large software company. The caller tells the victim they have detected a problem on their computer.

The problem may be that the computer has a virus or is working slowly and offers to fix it. The victim is directed to get on their computer and follow a list of instructions that are supposed to correct the problem. Investigators believe that by following the instructions, the suspect gains remote access to the computer, including all personal information.

The Unit has recently received a number of these complaints where the callers have become increasingly hostile to the point of threatening or harassing. In several cases the victim receives several calls even though they had originally declined their assistance. Residents are advised that if they receive a threatening or harassing phone call, they can press *57 (land lines only) after they hang up to trace the last incoming call. The information can then be retrieved by police if needed.

If anyone has received a similar call and has followed the instructions, it is recommended that you have your computer serviced at a reputable shop. Citizens are also reminded not to give personal information to anyone, whether solicitation occurs by telephone or in person, unless you have initiated the contact or you are certain of the identification of the individual and the legitimacy of the organization they claim to represent.

Ashton Kutcher ... Cheating?

A woman is accusing Ashton Kutcher of cheating on wife Demi Moore, the same weekend as the couple celebrated their six year wedding anniversary, according to Radaronline.

The entertainment website claims the liaison happened last Friday in San Diego, California after a booze-fuelled night out.

The 23-year-old woman, who has not been identified, has reportedly hired a high powered Hollywood attorney and has gone into hiding.

Radaronline says it received the information from 'multiple friends of the woman.'

According to one unnamed source: 'She is due to meet with an attorney tonight (Tuesday). She is freaking out.'

The Two and a Half Men star's wedding anniversary was on Saturday, September 24, one day after the alleged encounter happened.

'Ashton didn't look like someone who was celebrating a wedding anniversary,' one club goer told RadarOnline.

The scandal also comes as Star magazine, a sister publication of RadarOnline, is working on an explosive new report claiming the marriage between Ashton, 33, and Demi, 48, is 'officially over.'

The issue will hit newsstands tomorrow (Wednesday).

According to Star: 'Ashton and Demi have separated and the marriage is over.'

MailOnline contacted Ashton's representatives, but so far they have not responded.

A source close to the pair reportedly told Star magazine: 'The relationship ended because of Ashton's serial cheating. It's a painful time for Demi.'

In September 2010, as Mailonline previously reported, Ashton was rocked by another cheating scandal after Star reported that he had had a fling with a 21-year-old woman named Brittney Jones.

The young woman told the magazine she had sex with the actor inside the Beverly Hills home he shares with his wife.

The magazine also claimed that Ashton was so worried that the alleged affair would be exposed that he made her delete their text messages, but Star reported that she didn't remove all of them.

Brittney told Star: 'He looked over the texts and said he wanted me to delete all the messages from him,' she revealed. 'He then told me he wanted me to delete the texts I had sent to him. He said they could hurt him.'

Despite the explosive report, Ashton and Demi brushed off the allegations with Ashton making sure to express just how he felt by taking his Twitter to make a statement.

He said, 'I think Star magazine calling me a 'cheater' qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees.

'STAR magazine - you don't get to stand behind "freedom of the press" when you are writing fiction.'

Kutcher's representative also denied the story, while his wife of nearly five years came out in support of her husband.

'Excellent point my love!' and 'No question!' she wrote in response to Kutcher's comments.

Caffeine Prevents Depression?

Women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to get depressed, research suggests.

It is not clear why it might have this effect, but the authors believe caffeine in coffee may alter the brain's chemistry. Decaffeinated coffee did not have the same effect.

The findings, published in Archives of Internal Medicine, come from a study of more than 50,000 US female nurses.

The experts are now recommending more work to better understand the link.

And they say it is certainly too soon to start recommending that women should drink more coffee to boost mood.

**Caffeine lift**

The Harvard Medical School team tracked the health of the women over a decade from 1996 to 2006 and relied on questionnaires to record their coffee consumption.

Karolinska Institute
Just over 2,600 of the women developed depression over this time period.

More of these women tended to be non- or low-coffee drinkers rather than frequent coffee consumers.

Compared with women who drank one cup of caffeinated coffee or less per week, those who consumed two to three cups per day had a 15% decreased risk of developing depression.

Those who drank four or more cups a day cut their risk by 20%.

Regular coffee drinkers were more likely to smoke and drink alcohol and were less likely to be involved in church, volunteer or community groups. They were also less likely to be overweight and have high blood pressure or diabetes.

Even after controlling for all of these variables, the trend of increasing coffee consumption and lower depression remained.

**Mounting evidence**

The researchers say their findings add weight to the work of others which found lower suicide rates among coffee drinkers.

They suspect caffeine is the key player - it is known to enhance feelings of well being and energy.

How much caffeine?
There is no recommended level a person should consume
But pregnant women are advised to consume less than 200mg a day
One mug of instant coffee: 100mg
One mug of filter coffee: 140mg
One mug of tea: 75mg
One can of cola: 40mg
One 50g bar of milk chocolate: about 25mg

And it has a physical effect on brain function and transmission by blocking certain chemical receptors, like adenosine. But more research is needed to show if this might mean it is useful for warding off depression.

Alternatively, it might be that people with low moods chose not to drink coffee because it contained caffeine, point out the researchers. One of the common symptoms of depression is disturbed sleep, and caffeine can exacerbate this because it is a stimulant.

Too much caffeine can also increase feelings of anxiety.

Prof Bertil Fredholm, an expert in pharmacology and physiology at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, said the findings were reassuring for coffee-lovers.

"This fits nicely with a lot of the previous work and what we know about caffeine and the brain. It blocks adenosine, which produces a similar effect to increasing dopamine production. And it's becoming increasingly clear that the dopamine-rich areas of the brain are much more important in depression that previously thought.

"Despite valiant efforts to show how dangerous coffee is for us, it is not proving so.

"This removes yet another anxiety regarding caffeine use. Drunk in moderation, the evidence is strong that it is not one of the things we do that is going to damage your health."

Ellen & Portia Launch New Comedy Series!

Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres have cooked up a comedy about sisters with a contentious relationship, and NBC has nabbed it. The network reportedly made a "put pilot commitment" for the show, in which De Rossi will play one of the sisters. And no, it does not sound as though DeGeneres, De Rossi's wife since 2008, will play her sibling.

Deadline.com reports there was a heated bidding war for the comedy before NBC landed it. It will be executive produced by DeGeneres and written by Don Todd, co-creator of "Samantha Who?"

This ... Well, This is Just a Bad Idea

So who are happier ... Men or Women?

The Battle of the Sexes is over . . . and men won. A survey by Captivate Network found that men are happier than women . . . everywhere.

--At the office, men are 25% happier than women. At home, they're 8% happier. And three out of four guys think they do a good job of maintaining a home-and-work balance.

--The profile of the average happy person is a 39-year-old married guy whose wife works part-time. Combined they make six figures, and they have one kid.

--The average unhappy person is a 42-year-old unmarried woman who only makes five figures.

--BUT . . . men are happier at home because the women do most of the work. Twice as many women take care of the laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning.

--And at work, men are happier because they take more breaks. They're 25% more likely to take some "me time" during the day, 5% more likely to take a lunch, and 11% more likely to take a time out for some mid-day sex.

--Because they're so miserable everywhere they are, women are 9% more likely to say they suffer from stress, 11% more likely to have headaches, and 7% more likely to gain weight.

Hate Your Boss? This Explains it.

Researchers have revealed that one in 25 company bosses are psychopaths.

The pioneering study led by New York psychologist Dr Paul Babiak revealed that bosses disguise their psychopathy by using their status, charm and manipulation.

According to them, positive experiences such as happy childhoods are what really stop these bosses from turning into potential serial killers.

The callous corporate world helps these psychopaths by rewarding ruthlessness and disregard of people's feelings.

The worst part is that these bosses are in actuality rubbish at their jobs, but keep climbing the ladder by charming people to cover up their failings, they said.

"Psychopaths really aren't the kind of person you think they are," the Mirror quoted Babiak as saying.

"You could be married to one for 20 years and not know it," he stated.

Fellow researcher Professor Bob Hare said: "A psychopath can tell what you're thinking but what they don't do is feel what you feel. These are people without a conscience."

The findings of the research conducted will be revealed in detail in a BBC2 Horizon documentary, showing that bosses are four times more likely to be psychopaths than the general population, with scientists believing 1 per cent of the public are psychos.
