CYBER CRIME ON BRITISH

CYBER CRIME

Some internet crime, among others, attacks on computer systems, industrial espionage and theft of company secrets. As a result of this action alone, the British government had to swallow losses at least 21 billion pounds.

Defence Minister Pauline Neville-Jones' claim, the best way to overcome this problem is to establish strong cooperation between the private sector and government to disrupt criminal networks, not just rely on the legal action.

"I do not believe, the best way to fight crime is simply relying on punishment. I think, would be better if we provide better defense as well as disrupt their networks," said Neville-Jones told the Telegraph.
"Related to terrorism, if only rely on punishment, we will experience many incidents to date. We also have to 'bother' their activities," he continued.

Based on the consultant's report Detica, cyber crime in the UK caused the damages up to 1,000 pounds per second.

Theft of intellectual property such as designs, formulas and other secrets of the company causing losses up to 9.2 billion pounds, in which the company engaged in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, electronics, IT and chemical suffered the biggest losses. Meanwhile, industrial espionage causes loss of 7.6 billion pounds.

Not only governments, cyber crime also hurting residents up to 3.1 billion pounds per year.

ROBOT THERAPY

ROBOTIC THERAPY

Patients on robotic therapy showed marked improvement in two measures of upper extremity function: the Fugl-Meyer flexor synergy score, a 0 to 12 scale with higher numbers reflecting recovery of voluntary arm movement; and the Fugl-Meyer shoulder/elbow/forearm score, a 0 to 36 scale with higher numbers reflecting recovery of motor function in the shoulder, elbow and forearm.

The new study involved 60 stroke survivors with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) treated at six rehabilitation centers in Japan. The patients, average age 65, had suffered a stroke in the previous four to eight weeks. All received standard rehabilitation therapy from an occupational therapist.

Half the group received robotic therapy every day for six weeks, in sessions lasting 40 minutes. The other half spent the same amount of time working through a standard self-training program for hemiplegic patients, performing stretches and passive-to-active exercises of their affected arm.

With a recent trend in helping patients function with one arm, many post-stroke patients have given up hope of recovery of their affected arms. Participating in such robotic exercise is therefore expected to give patients insights about their future ability and a more positive image regarding their affected arm, increasing their self-efficacy and motivation toward rehabilitation."

The group assigned to robotic therapy used a Reo Therapy System by Motorika Ltd. in Israel. For the therapy, the patient's forearm, either resting on or strapped to a platform, is moved in multiple directions based on pre-programmed exercise movements.

Researchers selected five such pre-programmed movements. For instance, in one of the movements, "forward reach," the robot helps patients extend their arms forward as if reaching for something in front of them.

Therapists also selected from five levels of robotic assistance according to what was most appropriate for the patient, from movement entirely guided by the robot and passive on the patient's part, to movement actively performed by the patient.

The successful test of robots adds a new wrinkle to stroke rehabilitation strategies. While repetitive movement is an essential therapy, physical and occupational therapists aren't always available to provide care, and self-training, if not done correctly, can result in pain and disability.

HIGH PAGERANK BACKLINK

PAGERANK

First a brief explanation of PageRank and how it works.

What Is PR?

PageRank is a search engine's way of determining how popular a web page is. The way that PR is determined is by how many links are directed at a particular web page. It does not mean the links that are directed towards a website, but at a web page. It's important to note this difference. The more links to a certain page, the more popular is it deemed to be by the search engine. The link that is pointing towards the web page is known as a backlink.

When Google determines the PR, they give it a number from 0 to 10. A brand new website would have a value of 0 because it has no links pointing towards it. A value of 10 is given to the most popular websites according to Google. The Google toolbar can be used to find out the PR of a page or a website.

Why High PR Backlinks Will Benefit Your Site?
Having a link pointing to your web page can actually help increase your page's PR. One factor that determines how much it is increased is the PR of the site where the link is coming from. For example, if you have a link from a site that has a PR of 0, it probably won't increase your page's PR by any significant amount. However, if you have a link from a site with a PageRank of 8, that will help your page increase its ranking.

As you can see, high PR backlinks are obviously beneficial and over time it is possible to get a decent number of them. Learning about these early in your campaigns can definitely help get you better ranking by the search engines.

A final way to get high PR links is to use a blog posting service like Blog Blueprint. Blog Blueprint is an automatic blog posting service. After you log on to the system, you enter the following information:
• A Post Title
• The post (at least 100 words)
• Your anchor text and link
• The category of your post

After that you submit the post for approval and enter another one. You may enter as many posts as you like for as many different websites as you like. Once your posts are approved they are automatically published on high PR blogs that are relevant to your site.

What's really cool about this service is that your backlink is not in a comment, but actually in the blog post. Therefore it may be valued higher by Google. Also, once your post is approved you are assured that it will be published.

I've used Blog Blueprint to get high ranking backlinks on 3 of my websites now. All of them are climbing in the search engines and I'm making more sales. The tool is huge timesaver. I can plug 10 blog posts into the system in about 15 minutes and automatically have 10 backlinks within 24-48 hours. Readmore...
