Beyoncé’s New Chapter
Beyonce turned 30 today, September 4th, 2011. This new age follows her new sound, à la her fourth album, “4”, and her first baby on the way.
Beyonce has become a global icon since her days as a member of Destiny’s Child and continues to keep us interested. She recently broke twitter records upon her pregnancy announcement on the 2011 MTV VMA’s.
She is no stranger to accolades and if the first 30 years are any indication of what’s to come, then they’ll be worth paying attention to.
Happy Birthday, Beyoncé!

The recommendation made by the general media was to bring important documents, clothing, charged cell phones, medicines, etc. While this is a physical necessity in these types of situations, this event also served as a reminder to have your irreplaceable electronic documents backed up.
Using a cloud is a popular way to have your online documents backed up in a remote server. Having your pictures, important files, videos, etc. backed up is a necessity these days to secure your invaluable items.
