What Every Parent Should Know:-
Cyberbullying is different to the normal school playground bullying, in that it happens in the privacy of the Childs home. I say ‘the privacy of home’ for the simple reason that a lot of parents still believe a child or young person is safe from bullying in their home.
Direct Gov on the Young People page describe Cyberbullying is when one person or a group of people try to threaten, tease or embarrass someone else by using a mobile phone or the internet. Cyberbullying is just as harmful as bullying in the real world. If you see it happening, report it. Don't ignore it.
The most common occurrences of bullying take place in the form of telephone calls or texts messages to your child’s mobile, through social sites, instant messaging, such as MSN, Video hosting sites such as Utube, web cams and gaming sites. This type of bullying is often compounded by other people deliberately, or unintentionally, resending emails, or commenting on videos.
Unfortunately this is not the only way your child could be under attack, or even you. Read the full article and make sure you email this article to a friend, and let them protect their children.

The Demise of Readers Digest UK
Readers Digest announced that they had gone into administration yesterday. This move has been expected after rumours that Readers Digest had a shortfall in its UK Pension Fund of £125million. The American owners of Readers Digest, the Readers Digest Association agreed to pay a small percentage of the deficit, but was over-ruled by the regulator.
The administrator went on television, confirming that Readers Digest would carry on as usual until a buyer was found. It is understood that Readers Digest [UK] is a profitable company, with a strong brand and should have no difficulties attracting bids. The American readers digest was formed in 1922 and the UK version in 1938, and now has a circulation of over half a million. The 1000th edition was published in 2005.
B.T. announced on the 11th February that they would pay off its £9 billion pension deficit. Previously BT had agreed to pay an extra £525m into the scheme in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Now it has agreed to continue the process for a further 14 years, starting with £583m in 2012 and rising by 3% a year thereafter.

Google’s New Universal Search
Google announce the first steps toward a universal search model, offering users a more integrated and comprehensive way to search online.
Google's vision for universal search is to ultimately search across all its content sources, compare and rank all the information in real time. Beginning today, Google will incorporate information from a variety of previously separate sources – including videos, images, news, maps, books, and websites – into a single set of results.
Google is also in the process of deploying a new technical infrastructure that will enable the search engine to handle the computationally intensive tasks required to produce universal search results. The company is also releasing the first stage of an upgraded ranking mechanism that automatically and objectively compares different types of information.

UK Scam list
According to the Office Of Fair Trading [OFT] 10% of Britons have fallen for scams, either email scams, telephone scams using high pressure sales techniques, selling non existent products, and postal scams. Email scams are the biggest culprit, with 73% of adults receiving one last year, with 2 million people losing more than £50 to scammers. The scammers circulate lists, between each other, of the names of people who have fallen for these scams.
The latest scam is an email supposedly from the Inland Revenue, claiming you are due a tax rebate, and asking you to supply your bank details. Most of these scams originate from abroad. Be vigilant, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn’t.

Google search Tips
Google Search engines are responsible for 85% of the on line searches, of this approximately 65% were for people wanting to buy something; the other 20% were classed as research.

Be Specific with Google Searches

2 You can clarify your search by specifying an area:- ‘Yorkshire Couriers’, or narrow it down a little more by using the term ‘Yorkshire Parcel Couriers’
3 If you are looking for a specialised courier, most specialised couriers will have optimised their site for phrases people will type in for that particular specialised market, such as :- ‘ Hanging Garment Deliveries’. Or more specific:-‘Hanging Garment Deliveries UK and Europe’
The more specific your search is, the easier it is to find what you are looking for.
You can use the ‘This Or That’
All search terms are usually not case sensitive. This term is case sensitive, the ‘OR’ must be in uppercase.:- for example ‘hanging garment deliveries europe OR pallet deliveries uk and europe’
Similar Words
If you are searching for a specific word, and you want to include similar words or synonyms. Use ‘~’ between the words. :- for example ‘ Courires~transport’
Exclude Words
If you want to exclude words from the Google search use ‘-‘ between the words. :- for example ‘Couriers – Transport’
Site search
If you want to search a site, such as this one for a particular phrase, use site:www.rftexpresscouriers.co.uk:- for example “1p per mile” site:www.rftexpresscouriers.co.uk
Numerical Range search
To find results that contains any of a range of numbers. Use this ‘..’ search parameter for example :- Births 1967..2010 or laptop £200..£300

For 2010 the target increase is 35% on the 2009 figures. RFT Express Couriers have identified 150 plus companies who will be able to benefit from RFT ‘s expertise in our niche market of ’Hanging garment deliveries UK and Europe.’
Google contributed a considerable amount of visitors, with this search term, coming at no 1&2 in most European searches, with enquiries from North Africa, and as far away as China.
Bing the Microsoft owned search engine didn’t list us in the UK searches on the first page, but they did put us at no 1 in the world search.
Over the Christmas / New Year break, we had the statisticians analyse our databases and records, as well as the web stats, to enable them to come up with cost savings. Part of the brief was to analyse the transport industry as a whole, and spot future trends within this sector, as well as the clothing manufacturing, wholesale, and retailing sector, as well as the print industry, and advise RFT how we could take advantage of these trends.
