Every day, hundreds of millions of Internet users type search terms into the address bar of their browsers and come face to face with meaningful information. While this everyday task may seem simple and unremarkable, it would be impossible without the innovative thinking of one Internet company: Google. Known around the world as a leader in online search, Google has grown into one of the biggest companies on the Internet. Boasting up to ninety percent market share in many countries, the giant search company owns one of the most popular websites on the entire Internet – the instantly recognizable Google.com search page.
Despite Google’s current dominance of search, the company hasn’t always been a major leader. Developed in the late 1990s as a Stanford University computing and data research project, Google’s founders – Sergey Brin and Larry Page – invented a unique way of judging the usefulness of online data known as Page Rank.
The system assessed the value of a website using inbound links to the page, and their anchor text, as a ‘voting’ system. The more links a page had, the more it was worth to the system, and pages with a high worth were quickly pushed to the top of Google’s search results page.
The new system for organizing content on the internet was a massive success, with its PageRank engine producing results that were far more user friendly than those dished up by rival search engines such as Yahoo and HotBot. Google grew into the world’s most popular search engine within four years of launching in 1997. In the early 2000s, Google launched Adwords, an innovative ad network that put online advertising next to search results. The system was an immediate success, drawing in tens of thousands of business users in its first year of operation and pioneering a new form of advertising: search advertising.
A display advertising network, an online email service, a mapping application, and a social network soon followed, with Google establishing its dominance of both search and online utilities. The company continued to innovate throughout the 2000s, with new applications and online storage utilities popping up as time went on. Despite competition in the social arena from Facebook, in the search advertising arena from Yahoo and Microsoft, and threats to its email empire from Hotmail, it’s clear that Google has been the web’s biggest success story to date. The company enjoys a ninety percent market share in many markets and remains very profitable.
From online mapping utilities to space satellites, simple email solutions to global networks of fiber Internet cables, Google continues to innovate beyond its original offerings. With a huge range of products and services built around the simple idea ‘don’t be evil,’ Google is undoubtedly the internet’s most influential company. Whether you’re searching for information, communicating with friends, or looking to run an advertising campaign on the internet, this California-based online giant is undoubtedly a major part of your online life.

The Story of 57 cents - Hattie May Wiatt
A sad little girl stood outside a small church one Sunday morning. Her name was Hattie May Wiatt. She wanted to walk inside the church, to sing songs, to learn about God and worship Jesus. But she was afraid. She was alone, her clothes were shabby and unkempt…and she had no ticket. This church was often so crowded that admission tickets were handed out prior to the services to avoid overpopulation. New facilities were desperately needed. Little Hattie was afraid of getting lost in the shuffle of people. Worse yet, she was afraid of being turned away. Reverend Conwell happened to walk by the front gate where Hattie was standing. He took compassion on her, lifted her up on his shoulder and carried the little girl into the church, through the crowded foyer he found a small corner for her in the Sunday School room.
Hattie gave him the hug of a comforted and happy child. This embrace would be etched in his mind for a lifetime… A short time later, Hattie became ill and died. Her parents sought out the kind-hearted pastor who had befriended their daughter. At the funeral, her mother handed Reverend Conwell a small purse—Hattie’s purse. It contained 57 cents. Her mother told him tearfully that Hattie had been saving up her money to help build a bigger church…big enough for all the children. The Pastor was deeply moved. He gratefully accepted the little girl’s contribution. He later shared the story with the church congregation. Each of Hattie’s 57 pennies was auctioned. Church members made donations. Checks came in from far and wide. Hattie May Wiatt’s unselfish love had paid large dividends. Some of the members formed what they called the “Wiatt’s Mite Society” in which they were dedicated to making little Hattie’s 57 cents grow.
The amount of money raised through these efforts was a sizeable investment towards the purchase of a new property. 54 of Hattie’s original pennies were, in time, donated back to the church, where they were put on display and can be seen to this day. The next time you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a present seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit Temple University In addition to the Good Samaritan Hospital, both of which also claim their origin from the fruits of the Temple Baptist Church property purchased from the seed money of Hattie May Wiatt’s 57 cents.

EECP - Enhanced External CounterPulsation
A safe & effective treatment for angina and heart failure
EECP is a non-invasive out-patient treatment to help many people with angina and heart failure, including when the disabling symptoms of angina are uncontrolled or worsening despite maximal medical and surgical intervention.
Clinical Trials show that approximately 80% of angina patients experience significant symptom relief after EECP that may last up to three years.
Reduced frequency or complete elimination of angina symptoms.
Better ability to exercise free from chest pain and breathlessness.
Decrease in need for anti-angina nitrate medication
Clinical tests show:
Decreased exercise-induced signs of angina on ECG (prolonged time to ST depression on exercise stress testing)
Increased blood supply to heart muscle , demonstrated by myocardial perfusion scan techniques before and after EECP (Technetium scan, Cardiovascular MRI, stress ECHO)
How do people feel after EECP treatment?
Patients often report a greatly improved ability to participate in activities of daily living, such as the ability to walk further, carry heavier objects, enjoy gardening and leisure activities and be more active and independent without having angina and breathlessness.
We aim to set goals with our patients at the start of the treatment process, and find that EECP is most effective if the increase in exercise ability gained after treatment is maximised through continued regular exercise, activity and ongoing cardiac rehabilitation.
Does EECP offer new hope?
For patients who have undergone multiple invasive procedures and for whom addition surgery carries excessive risk, EECP may be the only way to obtain relief form severe angina or heart failure symptoms.
There is an increasing trend internationally for patients who have significant risk factors such as obesity, strong family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and high blood pressure to undergo self-funded EECP treatment on a prophylactic basis (i.e. before the onset of angina or heart problems).
Please contact us or speak to your doctor if you are unsure if EECP may be suitable for your condition. Suitability for EECP treatment must be decided by a qualified physician.
What does it feel like to have EECP?
We can easily interrupt treatment for a toilet break but it is best if possible to have a continuous treatment session of one hour.
We will provide you with a pair of tight thin trousers to minimise any rubbing from the cuffs and recommend that you moisturise your legs between treatments. You may wish to put these on at home under your clothing or use our private changing area.
Please see www.eecp.co.uk for a more detailed review of EECP and evidence base.
EECP is availabe In Indonesia at:
- Rumah Sakit Gading Pluit : Jl. Boulevard Timur Raya, Kelapa Gading - Jakarta ( Tel 021- 452 1001 , 452 0201)

We aim to set goals with our patients at the start of the treatment process, and find that EECP is most effective if the increase in exercise ability gained after treatment is maximised through continued regular exercise, activity and ongoing cardiac rehabilitation.
IS EECP SAFE?
- EECP is an extremely safe and well tolerated treatment
- Occasionally patients experience minor skin irritation due to the rubbing from the cuffs, but this is rarely a problem with padding and use of emollient cream between treatments
- At our clinic, all patients are assessed by a Consultant Cardiologist to ensure their suitability for EECP
- A fully qualified senior nurse is present throughout treatment with a supervisory doctor on site
Is EECP suitable for my condition?
You may be a candidate for EECP if you:- Have chronic stable angina or diagnosed heart failure.
- Are not receiving adequate relief from angina by taking medication.
- Do not qualify as a candidate for invasive procedures.
- Have exhausted invasive treatments without lasting relief of symptoms.
- Are unwilling to undergo surgery or angioplasty.
- Want to explore alternatives to bypass surgery or angioplasty.
Does EECP offer new hope?
For patients who have undergone multiple invasive procedures and for whom addition surgery carries excessive risk, EECP may be the only way to obtain relief form severe angina or heart failure symptoms.
There is an increasing trend internationally for patients who have significant risk factors such as obesity, strong family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and high blood pressure to undergo self-funded EECP treatment on a prophylactic basis (i.e. before the onset of angina or heart problems).
Please contact us or speak to your doctor if you are unsure if EECP may be suitable for your condition. Suitability for EECP treatment must be decided by a qualified physician.
What does it feel like to have EECP?
- The cuffs around the legs inflate and deflate in time with your heart beat. The cuff sensation is similar to having your blood pressure taken by your doctor or practice nurse, similar to a firm massage but should not be painful.
- Many people listen to music or audiotapes, others just relax or enjoy talking to our fully qualified nurses who stay with our patients throughout the course of the treatment.
- If you wish to speak to a patient who has had EECP therapy then this can be arranged by the clinic. All our patients have the opportunity to see the EECP bed before decisions regarding treatment.
- The treatment is carried out in our comfortable and well-equipped clinics with one-to one nursing support throughout and supervisory doctors on the clinic site.
- We ensure our clinics have the highest level of privacy, courtesy and confidentiality.
How should I prepare for EECP treatment?
We recommend that for your comfort that you do not have a large meal or lots of caffeine and fluids within two hours of starting treatment.We can easily interrupt treatment for a toilet break but it is best if possible to have a continuous treatment session of one hour.
We will provide you with a pair of tight thin trousers to minimise any rubbing from the cuffs and recommend that you moisturise your legs between treatments. You may wish to put these on at home under your clothing or use our private changing area.
Step by step guide to the treatment
- During treatment three ECG stickers are placed on the chest to measure the heart’s contraction and relaxation (systole and diastole).
- The patient rests on a bed and has blood pressure cuffs placed around the calf, thigh and buttock area over thin clothing.
- At the exact moment of diastole or heart relaxation, the blood pressure cuffs inflate starting from the calf sequentially up to the buttocks which causes a counter pulsation of blood.
- The cuffs then rapidly relax and deflate in time for the hearts contraction phase. This feels like a firm massage in time with your heart beat.
- Unlike bypass surgery or angioplasty there is no need for any overnight stay in hospital. The patient attends for a total of 35 hours treatment on the EECP bed. This is usually completed in one hour treatment sessions per day, but can be increased to two hours per day with a short break between the first and second hour.
- On this regime, the treatment cycle can be completed in four weeks - otherwise the treatment duration is seven weeks.
