Every business relies on computer technology, and all computer technology is vulnerable to cyber crime. A security breach in your small to midsize business can lead to significant loss and serious compliance issues. Here are 7 tips to help you secure your business's computers.
Determine Your Security Needs and Risks.
Take an inventory of your computer hardware, data and possible exposure. Where are your desktops, laptops, tablets, and smart phones? Who is using them and how? Who is able to access the data you collect, store or share? A security breach could cause extended downtime, fines or lawsuits. How would these affect your company?
Take the First Steps
Company computers and devices should be set up with strong passwords which are changed regularly. Protect your technology with anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-spyware software. Use encryption technology to protect wireless networks and email traffic. Use firewalls to prevent intrusions. Install security technology on all the mobile devices you and your employees use. Install updated security technology, encrypt data and use virtual private networks (VPNs) to enable secure remote access.
Update Your System
Download and install updates and patches for your operating systems and software immediately when they become available to fix or prevent security problems.
Back Up Your Files
Backing up the files you are working on has become a cliché, but the same thing applies to all of the data you produce, collect and share. Security breaches can cause you to lose everything you need to keep your business running. Backing up data to hard drives in your office is an excellent strategy, but offsite backup can save your business in the event of a fire or other catastrophe.
Train Your Employees
Human error can thwart even the most sophisticated computer security system. Employees must be educated on the necessity of using strong passwords and protecting them. Stress the importance of using strong passwords and protecting them. Point out the danger involved with opening texts or attachments from unknown senders, or clicking on questionable links in emails.
A recent problem is the habit of employees using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Sharing private company information on these websites can expose your business to security exploits. Remind employees to be aware of who may be watching them when they enter passwords or view confidential data outside the office.
Secure Your Devices
Hackers and viruses are a constant threat, but the most common path to breaching company data is through the loss or theft of laptops and mobile devices. Employees need to be aware of their surroundings and be cautious not to leave company laptops, tablets or cell phones unattended, or exposed in a vehicle. If a device is lost or stolen, they should immediately report it.
Keep Family and Business Separate
Business computers and devices should never be used by family members for games or email, especially not by children. This puts your company's data at risk. It is also important for employees to be restricted in what they can use company computers for in the office. Consider restricting access to certain websites or prohibiting use of those computers for personal business.

What makes a standard lens different from a digitally manufactured lens?
A standard progressive lens starts as a semi-finished premolded lens with the progressive design already molded on the front surface (hard, soft, short corridor, etc). The manufacturing lab will then generate the Rx on the back surface of the lens without altering the foundation of the progressive design already molded on the lens.
A digitally surfaced progressive, in contrast, uses software which takes into account pantoscopic tilt, vertex distance, Rx, frame fitting position, and sometimes even eye movement patterns, to create a "customized" progressive design for each particular patient. Specialized hardware then is needed to produce the lens. In theory, this will provide greater peripheral vision and definition. This is why "Freeform" is often used interchangeably with "digital", to imply that the lens is not confined to the same premold parameters as standard lenses are. So although digital lenses are often referred to by their brand name, the "brand" is actually the software which makes the design based on what it thinks the patient will like most. It might end up being a hard, soft, or short corridor design, depending on what inputs the optician specifies. The outcome, as a result, is unique for the given patient's prescription.
Therefore, contrary to the belief of many, it is not the lens itself, but rather the process by which the surface of the lens is manufactured.
No two lens manufactures use the exact same software or hardware to create their digital progressives. Therefore, each optical boutique cannot possible by proficient at fitting every type of digital lens available, as they all will have slightly different fitting requirements. Most offices will chose one or two digital lens manufactures in order to become proficient in their digital lens fits.
One of the biggest differences with digital lens technology is the accuracy of the lens manufacturing. Freeform lenses are accurate to 0.01 diopters. The human eye can only resolve as small as 0.15 diopter intervals, and doctors prescribe in 0.25 diopter intervals. This raises the question, how much added benefit does this accuracy difference really make? Consider that this means freeform lenses are 15x more accurate than the eye is capable of resolving and 25x more accurate then the doctor's phoropter is capable of prescribing. It would be similar to the analogy of pixels in a camera, at what point do increased pixels stop noticeably improving picture quality and just become a marketing strategy? Although freeform lenses do provide some theoretical benefits over traditional lenses, we do not believe that accuracy to 0.01 diopters is one of them, although this is often a marketed benefit by digital lens manufactures.
Due to the fact that the lens is designed based on many parameters, including the frame, the prescription in a free form lens is referred to as a "compensated Rx". Conventional progressive lenses are designed to maintain clarity when the vertex distance and pantoscopic tilt are the same as when the doctor measured it in the phoropter, not when actually worn by the patient in their new frame. Consequently, freeform prescription optimization attempts to provide that same clarity, but when worn in real-life. This optimized Rx is called the "compensated Rx", which is the prescription you will see when analyzing it in the lensometer, not necessarily the same as that which was prescribed. The lens manufacturer will provide you with a card along with the freeform lenses with the "compensated Rx" that you will find when analyzing the lenses in the lensometer. The correct "compensated Rx" will, in theory, produce the correct prescribed Rx for the wearer in real life.
Possible pitfalls
Just because a lens uses the word "digitally processed", does not mean it will be better than a non digital lens. The benefits are dependent upon:
A digital lens, even if fit perfectly by the optician, is only as good as the software that generates the final surface design. For this reason, digital does not always mean better.
Will patients perceive an improvement in vision?
In our experience, maybe. Currently, digitally designed lenses, especially progressive lenses, can be thought of as being in their infancy. The software and hardware that creates them is constantly evolving and improving. For a patient who has been a long time successful progressive lens wearer without complaints, we recommend keeping them in their current design. However, if a patient has historically been unable to adapt to progressive lenses, a digitally designed lens may provide a beneficial outcome.
What is the future of digital lenses?
As with all things, digital lenses will become increasingly better over the next decade as the software and hardware that creates them improves. Similar to progressive addition lenses, there will likely always be top tier and lesser quality digital lenses. Most lens manufactures will eventually offer a digital lens, most do already. However, there will likely never be a uniform way to fit a digital lens as there is for varying brands of progressive addition lenses due to the customized nature of the lens. Therefore, it will be essential that optical boutiques partner with reputable lens manufactures and become proficient at fitting their digital lenses, since there will be no way to learn how to fit every type available.

Top 10 take away things to know about digital "freeform" lenses
- Placing the word "digital" on the lens does not automatically make it better than what the patient is already wearing.
- The digital lens design industry is still evolving in technology, in 10 years the designs available will make today's options look like the Edsel.
- Success with digital lenses require the perfect balance of 1) A good software design, 2) High quality hardware, 3) Good measure of all required parameters by the optician, and 4) Good fit of the frame to insure it fits exactly as it was when the measurements were taken.
- We already know that the frame must be perfectly adjusted before taking measurements for standard progressives. It is even more important for digital lenses as errors will become magnified as customization increases.
- Get to know how to fit a couple of them really well. Unlike standard progressives, you will never be able to fit all of them.
- The potential benefits of freeform lenses is tremendous, however we believe the software and hardware is not yet evolved enough to make the most of the possible benefits. But just wait a few years!
- It is hard to justify at this point using a freeform progressive lens in lieu of a patient's current progressive if they are already happy. Don't mess with a good thing. However, for previous PAL non-adapts, it might make sense to give a freeform PAL a try.
- The "compensated prescription" values, the prescription as read through the lensometer, from the freeform optimization process may be noticeably different from the prescribed Rx values. Do not be surprised by this. Most freeform lens manufactures will send you a "Compensated Rx" verification ticket along with the lenses.
- Freeform lenses are accurate to 0.01 diopters. The human eye can only resolve as small as 0.15 diopter intervals, and doctors prescribe in 0.25 diopter intervals. Therefore, this is probably an overrated benefit.
- Don't be afraid to jump in and get your feet wet with this technology, this is the future of lens technology so the more you practice with them now the sooner you will learn how to use it to the patient's best advantage.
Losing all of the data which you have stored on your computer hard drive or other devices can be really frustrating, and if you are a business owner it can have a real negative impact on how you run your business. When a problem like the loss of data happens, the best solution is to find a company that will attempt to retrieve the lost data for you.
Hard Drive Data Recovery
Most data stored on computer is still stored on a hard drive, and these are delicate pieces of equipment, which can fail at any time. Failure is often total, however, there may be times when the disk is damaged which will prevent you from accessing certain bits of data, whilst other data files remain intact. A company that has experience in dealing with these problems will be able to advise you on the best course of action, whilst giving you a free non-obligation quote.
Other Problems
A data recovery company should also be able to restore data files that have been accidentally or maliciously deleted from your computer. RAID controller failure is another aspect of lost data that has to be dealt with from time to time. If you find that there is no access to the data on your raid system, then this can be fixed by allowing a data recovery company access to your affected systems.
Damage
Computers and their peripherals can become worn out through over use, or else damaged due to careless handling. When a storage device becomes damaged, it may appear as though that data is lost forever, however, that is not the case at all. Things such as damaged and broken memory sticks, and flash drives can be have their data recovered by simply removing the storage chips.
Damage caused by introducing liquid in to the internal workings of computers and their storage devices is a common problem, and again, all is not lost when this happens. Most data recovery companies have had to deal with laptops and USB sticks which have been dropped in to liquids, or else have had liquids spilt on them (usually coffee or soda). Any proficient data recovery company will be able to help you to recover the data from a device that has come into contact with liquid at some point in its working life.
When searching for a data recovery company, you will find that there are a lot of companies out there, so it is worth doing some research, and some even offer a 'no recovery, no fee' service too.

In the publishing world, digital ebooks are becoming more common. Major publishing companies are now not only printing traditional books, they are also selling those same books in digital format. This trend will surely continue. It is easier than ever for budding authors to write their own book and then sell it as an ebook. The written text that makes up the content of the book is easily converted to a file with the file extension EPUB. This is the primary format used across the industry for an ebook. Here are four reasons why you should convert your book to and EPUB file.
The eBook Will Display Correctly On An eReader
There are a variety of devices that can be utilized to read an ebook. Each of these devices may vary in screen size and, as such, the type of file that you have used will affect how the ebook appears on the screen. Those with the file extension EPUB are the easiest to optimize how the text will appear on a given device.
Online Sellers Of eBooks Sell EPUB Books
The average person can buy ebooks online from a variety of sources. Most often, the EPUB format is used by these online retailers. If you are looking to sell an ebook, you will have to have it converted in order to sell it online. If your ebook is not in that format, many of the online book sellers will not even sell it.
Most All eBook Readers Will Display EPUB books
As stated before, there are a large number of devices that can be used to read an ebook. Most people only have one such device. That device will need to have the capability to read almost any ebook. As a result, most of the ebook readers on the market are compatible with the EPUB format. That way, no matter what device someone is using, he or she would have the ability to read your ebook because it is in a compatible format.
The Inclusion Of Multimedia Features In eBooks
If you decide to write an ebook, you want to capture the attention of your readers. Nothing can do that nowadays like audio, video, and other multimedia features. These types of things are easily included in ebooks that utilize EPUB. Your ebook could be made to be interactive as well and that is another advantage of converting your ebook to EPUB format.

When people go to the doctor, they have to go through medical tests sometimes like x-rays and scans with machines called cat scans or MRIs. However, most of the time, patients never get to see the pictures of their own body. The lack of patients seeing their own pictures is changing now for the better. There are many different ways that technology can help the medical field, and the ability to do an instant image share is actually benefiting the way that information is passed between doctors and patients.
Benefits of Instant Image Sharing For Both Patients and Doctors
Medical records, pictures, and tests, may seem like another language to some patients, but to others it is genuinely interesting. People who have a lot of medical tests, can become curious as to what their insides look like, and with instant image share, people can see what certain parts of their body look like. Here is more information on the other benefits of doctors sharing medical images with their patients:
Doctors and patients can communicate more effectively: Sometimes when people go to the doctor, the medical jargon can be hard to understand, and that means that patient do not understand what the doctor is talking about. With instant image share, doctors can show patients exactly what they are referring to, and that will mean that every visit with doctors will be a lot better because patients will be able to physically see what the doctors are referring to.
Imagines can be seen shortly after they are taken: Back in the olden days, an x-ray took hours to develop, but with the newest technology, x-rays and scans can be ready to view in only a few minutes.
Video conferencing with specialists is possible: When there is a problem with people's bodies, they sometimes have to go to see more than one doctor. However, with image sharing, people do not have to go through the hassle of carrying their own records or having to repeat the same story over and over again with a new doctor because there can be a conference call that can involve a patient, their regular doctor, and a specialist all at the same time. By having all medical experts and patients in the same room, treatment options can be discussed, which is going to save everyone a lot of time and effort because no one will have to run around town trying to deal with many doctors.
Patients only need to take images once: Sometimes patients have to go through different medical tests every time they see a new doctor, which will mean multiple x-rays, or scans. However, with image sharing, people can only do tests one time, and then the image can be file shared and sent to email to any medical professional that it needs to go to.
Technology is changing every part of the world even the medical field. One big benefit of it is called instant image share, and with it, patient medical tests like x-rays and scans, can be seen by patients, doctors, specialists, and anyone else that has to see them, which will save people a lot of time and medical treatment can be agreed upon and started right away.

Benefits of Instant Image Sharing For Both Patients and Doctors
Medical records, pictures, and tests, may seem like another language to some patients, but to others it is genuinely interesting. People who have a lot of medical tests, can become curious as to what their insides look like, and with instant image share, people can see what certain parts of their body look like. Here is more information on the other benefits of doctors sharing medical images with their patients:
Doctors and patients can communicate more effectively: Sometimes when people go to the doctor, the medical jargon can be hard to understand, and that means that patient do not understand what the doctor is talking about. With instant image share, doctors can show patients exactly what they are referring to, and that will mean that every visit with doctors will be a lot better because patients will be able to physically see what the doctors are referring to.
Imagines can be seen shortly after they are taken: Back in the olden days, an x-ray took hours to develop, but with the newest technology, x-rays and scans can be ready to view in only a few minutes.
Video conferencing with specialists is possible: When there is a problem with people's bodies, they sometimes have to go to see more than one doctor. However, with image sharing, people do not have to go through the hassle of carrying their own records or having to repeat the same story over and over again with a new doctor because there can be a conference call that can involve a patient, their regular doctor, and a specialist all at the same time.

Gadget companies created a new market segment of computers when they introduced tablets in 2010. I bought my first tablet upon its introduction and fell in love with it. It is now an essential device in my daily life. Today, there are various brands and models of tablets in the market and consumers have a lot more choices.
While I know from experience that my tablet (loaded with games and apps) could be a popular icebreaker when I meet tech-savvy kids, I have only recently come to appreciate that such devices are also a game-changer for technology-shy seniors, who have often been left out of the consumer technology equation. At best, simplified versions of popular devices or services - such as email that does not require a PC and large-button, single-function mobile phones - have been launched as an afterthought for the oldest consumers. Computer tablets are different; they have changed the technology landscape for seniors.
Usability even with impairments
For seniors, tablets address some of the biggest traditional barriers to technology. Arthritis and other impairments often limit a senior's fine motor skill - a disability not compatible with mouse and keyboard requirements. Tablets deliver touch screen technology, facilitating usage and minimizing user frustration.
Tablets are more simply designed than computers, usually with just one button to change programs. They are easy to use and not intimidating. They are portable and do not take up a lot of room. They allow users to easily connect with friends and family - especially with grandchildren - through email, video calls, photo sharing, or social media websites like Facebook. Once users are comfortable with the tablets, they could browse the web, watch the news and even shop online. And once they discover the joy of downloading and using apps, their lives will be transformed. For example, they can brain-train, learn a new language, get new recipes, play solitaires, and check baseball scores. In fact they become included in the new digital world.
Tablets also offer an improvement over printed books. For those with poor vision, a once-enjoyed activity like reading could be a thing of the past. However, a tablet would change all that. Downloading books avoids a trip to a bookstore or library. Seniors can also easily adjust the screen brightness and text to suit their needs.
Use tablets for healthcare
Tablets also enable greater independence for the elderly through remote evaluation and monitoring. From the diagnostic side, tablet-base mobile assessment tools provide a rapid assessment of a patient's ability to complete mobility-related tasks. Tablets also enable ongoing care. In addition, there are apps that could be directly downloaded for own use in healthcare e.g. to measure heart rate, monitor food intake and exercise, or set up diary of reminders to take medications.
Tablets are an enabling tool for 'ageing in place', which means to have the ability to live in one's own home comfortably, safely and independently as one ages. This is the wish of most people. According to one study, 78% of adults between the ages of 50 and 64 report that they would prefer to stay in their current residence as they age. The trend of ageing in place is also desirable from the perspectives of society and economy. It encourages inter-generational connectivity and minimizes the cost of institutional care.
