Editorials, Reports & Stories
Help the People of the Ukraine
 
Many want to help, but they hear about all those donation scams going around so they are afraid to engage.
Some have made arrangements with Ukraine Airbnbs. You don't actually visit, all fees go directly to help the effort, who are waiving fees but even that bears some risk.
If you feel you would like to reach out and help those poor people you see in the media daily, you can trust the Rotary organization to help those who need it most. If you would like to donate, you can scan the QR code or click the link below with your phone and it will take you directly to the Rotary donation page. While this is a general fun, temporarily ALL funds are direct the Ukraine Rotary organizations.  And, thank you for your kindness.

Technical Tip:
 

Technical Tip: Keep my gmail out of promotions
        But, It's NOT Spam.     
 
Is some of your expected gmail missing from the Inbox? 
 
Aside from regular spam filtering, sometimes Google also takes  a guess at your incoming gmail and pre-categorizes it in order to cut down on spam. The Tabs 'Social' and 'Promotions' capture some of your email instead.
Well, Google doesn't always get it right.

Fortunately, even though that is the default setting, you can change the setting and control your pre-categorization completely and get all your mail back in the old inbox.
YOU can select select the problem email in 'Promotions' and drag it to the inbox,  OR....
A more reliable way is to control your own categories  or  simply have none at all.  If you uncheck the 'Social" and 'Promotions' categories in settings, your future email will not appear in those virtual folders but rather in your old inbox as expected.

Here's what you do to fix it.
Go to your inbox settings link. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/inbox
Uncheck the boxes 'Social' and 'Promotions', AND CLICK SAVE
From now on it will appear in the old inbox as expected.
