AutoCOUNT - Excel
The AutoCOUNT feature in Excel provides a quick way to count numbers in Excel. What it does is count how many cells1 contain numbers in a given range2 of data3. Auto COUNT will ignore blank cells or those containing text.
Enter the following data into cells C1 to C6:
11, twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, 16
Make sure that cell C7 - the location where the results will be displayed is blank. Place your cursor in cell C7
Click on the Home tab.
Click on the down arrow beside the AutoSum button on the ribbon to open the drop down menu.
Click on COUNT Numbers in the menu to enter the COUNT function into cell C7.
- The answer 4 should appear in cell C7 even though we have entered data into six cells.
- As mentioned above, the COUNT function only totals up those cells containing numbers. The function ignored the data in cells C2 and C5 because it was text data.
- When you click on cell C7 the complete function = COUNT (C1 : C6) appears in the formula bar above the worksheet.

INTERNET ABUSES & HAZARDS
Internet
SCAMS
High-Tech Confidence Games
Scams and confidence games have been around as long as history records. All scams, modern or old, have a single critical factor without which they cannot succeed: the willing participation of the victim. Scam and con perpetrators prey upon people's desire - for profit or money, for gratification, for advancement, or for anything else the schemer can identify that will attract potential victims.
For years, law enforcement and other officials working to combat scams and cons have used a simple slogan that you'll see a number of times on this website - it remains true regardless of the mechanism used by the perpetrator: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
Exercise caution and a healthy skepticism when considering ANY transaction. Your guard should be up all the time; the old Latin phrase "caveat emptor" (let the buyer beware) remains universally true. When a transaction appears irresistible, that's the time to take a second look. Be sure you make an informed decision based on ALL of the best available information.
The perpetrators rely on another emotion to avoid being reported and caught: embarassment. Numerous victims of scams and cons identified in the course of law enforcement investigations have said they didn't report their loss because they felt so foolish after realizing they'd been duped. Law enforcement and the rest of the criminal justice system rely on input and participation from the public. If you realize you've been victimized, make a report. If you don't, you are not only allowing the perpetrator to get away with your loss, but to continue to victimize others. Please help us!
In an FBI press release, Assistant Director of the agency's Cyber Division, Jana Monroe says, "Bogus e-mails that try to trick customers into giving out personal information are the hottest, and most troubling, new scam on the Internet."

A quick look at sharing on Google+.
In November of 2011 Google introduced Google Plus Pages for businesses.
Is it important?
Will it make a marketing impact?
Do we give up Facebook for Google+?
Google+ Pages help build deeper relationships with customers by sharing thoughts, links, photos and promotions. With Google+ Pages, you can share what matters in a way that matters most to your business.
It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you are in there it really starts to make sense. The flow is easy, as you move along and maneuver the platform you can discover very attractive features including the ability to hold hangouts
Once you have people on your page you can post relevant content, including photos and videos, and even engage your followers directly by asking questions that start discussions. You can make your posts public so people can find them using search, or use Circles to tailor specific messages to specific followers.
Different people are interested in different parts of your business. Whether it's breaking news, updates, promotions, links, photos - even talking face-to-face with groups via easy-to-use video chat - Google+ lets you easily share the right things with the right customers.
Hangouts let you set up one-click video conversations with customers and colleagues alike. You can get face-to-face product feedback, help customers solve problems or simply get to know them better, and collaborate with remote colleagues on shared documents in real time -- all over high-quality, easy-to-use video chat.
