  IT and Cybercrime This is one of many articles I wrote for a client on IT and cybercrime. I was provided several keywords to include (highlighted in yellow) and a fixed word count. Data Backup: Are You Avoiding the Issue? Businesses exist for many reasons, but the main one is to make money, whether that be for profit, to enable growth, or simply to help others. Cashflow is the lifeblood of every business, so it is hardly surprising that data backup takes a back seat when it comes to business planning. Many companies are providing  small business backup solutions, so there is no excuse for not taking this issue seriously. Failure to back up data and systems could cost you dearly one day. The question should be which method to use. Simply keeping copies of key files on a memory stick is not a solution and can lead to prosecution if they get into the wrong hands, so in this article, we look at the options available.   The risk of not backing up regularly What could possibly

  MONTH:  JULY 2024 POSTED ON JULY 8, 2024 EDIT "THE WORLD’S GONE MAD" The World’s Gone Mad I think most would agree that the world has indeed gone mad with minority groups getting preferential treatment to the detriment of the majority – like Trans women being allowed into genuine women’s spaces and being allowed to participate in proper women’s sports.

With its extensive list of citations backing up statements, it is an excellent reference point for those wanting to know what and who is behind the changes we’ve seen over the last twenty years or more.

With summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere topping 100°F (38°C) in many countries, I thought it appropriate to reissue my blog on heat stroke, first published on Baby Knows Best in July 2019. This post was sparked by an article about a single mother in Canada whose 3-year-old child suffered a heat stroke and died while sleeping in her bedroom. How could this have been avoided? Read on to find out. Going on a Summer Holiday? Often, heat stroke occurs at home, not when you’re on holiday. And it’s children, particularly babies, who are most at risk. It is not just extreme temperatures that make this period critical but sustained high temperatures over several days. With little respite during the night, the body doesn’t get the chance to lower its temperature naturally, increasing the likelihood of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wha
