One moonshot team buys up another

Moon Express

By Alan Boyle

One of the competitors in the race to send the first private-sector probe to the moon says it's acquired the assets of a rival team, marking what could be considered a "Netscape moment" for the commercial moonshot industry.

Moon Express said the acquisition of Colorado-based Next Giant Leap will add to its momentum in the $30 million Google Lunar X Prize competition, which promises a huge payoff to the first team that sends a rover to the moon for an exploratory trek that includes transmitting high-definition imagery back to Earth. Moon Express and Next Giant Leap are among 26 teams vying for the prize.

---

"There are many synergies between our companies," Bob Richards, Moon Express' co-founder and CEO, said in today's announcement, which was issued during a Google Lunar X Prize team summit in Washington. "We are all stronger together, and we look forward to carrying on the innovation and vision of the Next Giant Leap founders and partners."

Both ventures were selected by NASA in 2010 for?data-sharing contracts?that are worth up to $10 million each. Both companies have been working on rovers that would hop across the lunar surface. The Next Giant Leap effort produced a "hopper" design that attracted a $1 million commitment from the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory to fund the development of a guidance, navigation and control system testbed.

Richards told me that the relationship with Draper Lab on the control system "is perhaps the most obvious and strongest inheritance of the acquisition we will be actively working," but he also placed great value on the other partnerships that Next Giant Leap had forged over the past few years. Among those partners are Sierra Nevada Corp., MIT Space Systems Laboratory, Aurora Flight Services, Jolted Media Group, the Center for Space Entrepreneurship and the Challenger Center for Space Science Education.?

Richards said that the acquisition involved a payment to Next Giant Leap, but by mutual agreement, the amount would not be disclosed. Moon Express probably ranks among the more financially solid ventures chasing the Google Lunar X Prize, considering that one of the venture's co-founders is dot-com billionaire Naveen Jain.?

Next Giant Leap

An artist's conception shows Next Giant Leap's proposed lunar lander. Moon Express' Bob Richards said that his venture "will subsume Next Giant Leap designs to the extent possible and practical. ... The main hardware difference is that the Moon Express lander uses the NASA Common Spacecraft Bus heritage and the Next Giant Leap lander was based on the SNC Orbcomm bus."

Michael Joyce, founder and president of Next Giant Leap, said the acquisition serves as validation of his team's value, and as a testament to the dedication of his partners. "Next Giant Leap and its partners have made remarkable technical progress," he said in today's announcement. "We are proud to be able to offer that value in support of the vision and resources of Moon Express that continue our dreams toward the moon."

Richards said Joyce and another Next Giant Leap co-founder, Todd Mosher, have been invited to serve as advisers to Moon Express.

The Google Lunar X Prize is offering $20 million to the first team that lands a rover on the moon, sends it on an excursion of at least 500 meters and gets it to send high-definition images and video back to Earth. If a second team pulls off the same feat, that team would receive $5 million. Another $5 million is reserved for bonus prizes. The prizes expire if no team fulfills the requirements by the end of 2015, and if a government-backed lander beats the teams to the lunar surface, the grand prize would be reduced to $15 million.

Richards and Jain have said Moon Express intends to launch its lunar lander as early as 2014.?

Render, Texture Coating And Roof Paint For A Beautiful & Protected ...

Building your dream home is not an easy task, even when you hire someone else to do it. You would like a house that provides strength and protection against adverse weather and one that can stand the test of time. You would enjoy not having to paint it every 3-4 years or having maintenance and repair work done on it regularly. This can be made possible if proper attention is paid to a few important external features of the home. Render, roof paint and texture coating are three important elements of the exterior of your home that can help make your home more attractive but at the same time provide better protection against a number of elements.

The process of applying a thick mixture of sand, cement and lime plaster on the exterior walls of your home is called render. It can be applied on concrete, bricks, stones or mud bricks. Depending on our preference it can be fine or coarse, textured or smooth, natural or coloured, pigmented or even painted. At present, even technology is available to add polymers to the render mixture to make it stronger, more water resistant, increase its flexibility, etc. Different tools are used and numerous styles of render are practiced worldwide according to the local weather and home trends.

Another good option and one that is very prominent these days is texture coating. It can be applied on concrete or cement panels, bricks, blocks, masonry, metal, plastic and wooden surfaces. It is very similar to render but in it special systems of polymers and elastomers are used to protect and decorate the exterior walls. Other chemicals like fibres, mica, titanium dioxide, colouring agents, etc. can be added to give it enhanced properties and better performance. It ensures that your exterior wall has a long lasting protection against all weather, proper insulation, colour retention as well as good appeal to all eyes.

Now that the external walls are protected, let us take a look at the top of the house: the roof. Roof paint solutions help protects your building from all the natural and man-made elements like sun, wind, rain, frost, pollution and dirt. But along with protection, the roof paint can also make our homes energy efficient. The colour and material in the paint has special thermal and reflective properties that allow it to reflect a larger percentage of the sunlight consisting of UV and infrared waves. This helps keep the house cooler in the summer and thereby saving energy on air conditioning and cooling. Roof painting mixed with using metal, cement tiles, asbestos or other material for roofing can help create a strong structure that is water resistant as well as energy efficient.

Hence we can see the numerous benefits that render, texture coating and roof painting provides to your home:

Resistance to water: water leakages cause maximum damage to homes
Strong and durability: it will not chip, flake or peel
Protection against fungi and infestation
Energy efficiency: thermal and reflective properties keep your home cooler, naturally
Maintenance Free: it durability helps avoid any cracks or problems on the external surface
Appealing: Its beautifies your external walls into a picture perfect home
Savings: As you wont have to get your house painted every few years and less maintenance, it is only reasonable to say that you would save a lot of money

Author is an experienced business writer, has been writing in the business world for a long time. The article tells about the features and usage of Render, Texture Paint, Roof Paint, Texture Coating and Waterproofing.

UK court backs extradition of Assange in sex case

Geoff Caddick / AFP - Getty Images, file

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is wanted in Sweden for questioning over allegations of rape and sexual assault.

By msnbc.com staff and news services

Updated 4:42 a.m. ET: LONDON --?Britain's Supreme Court on Wednesday backed the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden where he is accused of sex crimes -- the latest chapter in the saga of the self-styled Internet whistle-blower.?

Swedish prosecutors want to question Assange over claims of rape and sexual assault made by two female former WikiLeaks volunteers, and he has been fighting a lengthy legal battle against extradition since his arrest in Britain in Dec. 2010.

---

Seven judges at Britain's highest court rejected by a majority of 5-2 that Assange's claim that a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) under which his extradition is sought was invalid. ?Two lower courts have already ruled he should be extradited.

The former computer hacker gained international prominence in 2010 when WikiLeaks began releasing secret video footage and thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables about Iraq and Afghanistan, in the largest leak of classified documents in U.S. history.

That made him a hero to anti-censorship campaigners but a menace to Washington and other governments. Assange also faced widespread criticism that he had put lives at risk by blowing the cover of sources who spoke to diplomats and intelligence agents in countries where it was dangerous to do so.

WikiLeaks published intelligence firm's emails

Since then, WikiLeaks has faded from the headlines due to a dearth of scoops and a blockade by credit card companies that has made donations to the site almost impossible. Assange's personal standing has been damaged by the Swedish sex case and he has lost support from most of his celebrity backers.

Since his detention, he has mostly been living under strict bail conditions at the country mansion of a wealthy supporter in eastern England. His associates say that amounts to 540 days under house arrest without charge.

After losing his appeal against extradition to Sweden to face allegations against rape and sexual assault, The Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, says he is considering his next step, which could be an appeal to Britain's Supreme Court. ITN's Sejal Karia reports.

The flamboyant Australian's appeal hinged on a legal technicality rather than the substance of the allegations of sexual misconduct or his claims that the United States has been putting pressure on Britain and Sweden to take action against him.

His lawyers argued the EAW was invalid because it was issued by a prosecutor and not a judge or a court as required in Britain. Prosecutors acting for Sweden say different countries have different legal procedures which are allowable under the agreed EAW format.?

Another appeal still possible

Assage can still take his case further, to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).?

If that court agrees to hear his challenge, a decision which must be made within 14 days, he can lodge an injunction to have the extradition process put on hold, and it could be months at the very least before any conclusive verdict.

"If the ECHR declines to take the case then he will be extradited to Sweden as soon as arrangements can be made," Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said.

Should he win the case, a spokeswoman for Sweden's prosecutors said the EAW would still be valid in any other European country.

Assange's personal travails have accelerated WikiLeaks' slide toward irrelevance since its heyday.

Army is pressed on why it kept trusting Manning

The suspected source of the site's biggest and most dramatic 2010 leaks, U.S. intelligence analyst Bradley Manning, is now facing 22 criminal charges which, if he is convicted, could land him in jail for life.

Manning's predicament has not encouraged any new sources to come forward, and to compound WikiLeaks' problems the blockade by the likes of U.S. credit card firms Visa and MasterCard has starved it of cash.

Defense lawyers for Bradley Manning, the Army private accused of spilling classified secrets to WikiLeaks, say his sexual orientation plays a role in the case against him. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reports.

Assange once enjoyed support from socialite Jemima Khan, film director Ken Loach and crusading journalist John Pilger, but most of his high-profile backers have since distanced themselves from him. Many former friends and associates have turned against Assange also, describing him as a megalomaniac.?

However, he still has loyal followers and rallies are planned in several countries in the wake of the court's verdict.?

Instantly recognisable with his unusual white-blond hair, Assange has appeared in an episode of "The Simpsons". He has also launched a talk show on Russia Today, a Kremlin-funded English language TV station.

G.L.O.C.: Watch With G.L.O.C. -- Girls Episode 7

The episode opens on a shot of Jessa, Hannah, and Marnie on their way to a warehouse party in Bushwick. Jessa is almost carrying off a feathery get-up that's half dying swan, half Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. She gets a text from a random number, but instead of finding out who it's from Jessa just texts back the address of the party. Rebel!

Marnie is jittery -- she's been completely thrown off by her breakup with Charlie. Hannah reassures her that there's very little chance of running into him: "It's like Waterworld in there."

They arrive and find Shoshanna, who's been holding up a wall for two hours: "I am literally so happy to see you I could murder you."

In case you were wondering, Ray and Charlie's band, Questionable Goods, has improved a lot since their last gig. Marnie shuffles up to see Charlie after their set. Turns out having her out of his life has meant that he's got more time for music... and new girlfriends named Audrey! Marnie's reputation hasn't preceded her AT ALL -- "Are you one of those Real Housewives?"

Just when you thought Hannah might have nothing to do, Adam appears! Well, he emerges from the darkness, being crawled over by a bunch of girls in glow in the dark body paint. Ahem.

Ray and Jessa are chatting idly; suddenly Shoshanna is there, talking like the MicroMachines guy; what is WRONG with her? "It was a glass cigarette, and I am high." It becomes clear that Shoshanna has accidently smoked crack. Jessa volunteers to be her Crack Spirit Guide. That is, until Jeff (who she babysits for -- sender of the phantom text!) shows up. Jessa hands her title over to Ray -- he can handle it, right? Shoshanna runs off, yelling incoherently about kick boxing class.

Adam's friend Tako, reveals to Hannah that Adam has been a member of AA for years ("it's the main defining thing about him, right?") She doesn't quite know how to take the news.

Jessa and Jeff are on a fire escape when she almost kills a couple of guys by dropping a wine bottle on them. After following it up with some shit-talk, the guys threaten to kill them. Off to the dance floor!

Ray catches up with Shoshanna, who is either nude from the waist down or just wearing pantyhose (funny either way!) Still high, she kicks the shit out of Ray, who is impressed with her superhuman strength. But in all fairness, "It might have been the crack."

Marnie finds Elijah and tears him away from a make-out session to complain about Charlie. When Elijah calls her out for being selfish, she counters, "No; Hannah's the selfish one! Everybody knows that!" Um... sure.

Poor Jeff. Like many men before him, he gets beat up for his proximity to a mouthy girl, landing him the ER. When Jessa rejects his suggestion that they sleep together, he calls her a tease. Rude, but also... not completely off-base.

Adam invites Hannah to a scrap yard, which he's raiding for materials to build a boat. Soon she's riding high on his bicycle handlebars and everything's idyllic... until Adam stops the bike short and Hannah FLIES to the ground. She's pissed, and not just because of the bloody knees: Why has he never shared his AA status with her? He points out that she never asked. As in "never asked anything except does that feel OK and do you like my skirt"! Touch?. The confrontation between them escalates; Adam finally yells, "Do you want me to be your boyfriend??" We're not privy to the answer, but Hannah's smile in the final shot, squeezed into the back of a cab between Marnie, Adam, and his bike, reveals all.

In this episode we got to see several key relationships (Hannah/Adam, Marnie/Charlie, and Jessa/Jeff) from opposite perspectives. The switch revealed how Hannah, Marnie, and Jessa create narratives that serve themselves alone: Hannah needs to see Adam as distant; Marnie needs to see Charlie as helpless, and Jessa needs to see Jeff paralyzed by lust. But in fact -- shocker! -- these men are 3-dimensional humans who are affected by their actions. The girls' failure to look beyond their own needs means that, until now, they've been deeply implicated in their own unhappiness. It remains to be seen whether they can take these lessons to heart, or whether we're in for more trial and error, which admittedly is a big part of Girls' appeal.

How To Take Your Online Business To The Next Level with ...

Sometimes it seems there are hundreds of minute tasks that seem to be a normal part of conducting business online. The goal of managing these tasks and getting them done is becoming more challenging with the constant promotion of the website, brand building and keeping up with customers. One possible solution to this is to outsource those things that require the most time to do. One tremendous benefit of doing this is that you?ll have more time to devote to more important business activities such as marketing. Realize, though, that outsourcing is a process, and you will need to plan and execute before everything is in place and you start reaping the rewards. Like many other things, the first time is the hardest because there is a learning curve and you?ll just be doing certain things the first time, so it will take longer. Given below are some workable outsourcing tips for your Internet marketing business.

The first thing you can easily outsource is the product creation part. That?s right; you can have your product created by a professional, while you sit back and relax. Be it ebook creation, video/audio creation, article writing, anything can be outsourced. Well, the interesting fact is that no one will ever be the wiser for it. No one knows, and if it?s good people will love and send in their testimonials. Apart from this, you can also outsource your blog posts and newsletter content. Of course the primary objective when doing this is to find a good writer.

Certain traffic generation methods can be turned over to someone else after you properly train them. The only word of caution concerns any proprietary methods that you have created, so you probably already know that maybe you should not reveal your secret strategies. For example, social bookmarking is another favorite for outsourcing. Forum posting is another less than exciting task you can outsource. You can pay people to comment on blogs for you, or submit your articles to directories, etc.

Returning to those you have identified as good workers will allow you to outsource again with the knowledge it will be done right. If you do this enough times you?ll have your own Rolodex of outsourcers who you can trust and use. Once that is in place, then you may want to consider outsourcing more work to free-up more time. If you can free more time for yourself, you?ll have choices ? either enjoy your time, or work on your business.

And that?s the beauty and reason behind outsourcing, it will give you choices and more opportunities.

What you can do with ExitPlanProfits in your own online business is diversify your marketing which will enable you to extend your reach to your target market.

After decade in storage, Washington letter on religious freedom will go public
Alex Zuckerman ("CNN," May 23, 2012)

Washington, USA ? After sitting in storage for nearly a decade, George Washington?s signature statement on religious liberty will go on display this summer in the city where freedom of religion was enshrined in the Constitution: Philadelphia.

America?s first president wrote the letter to a Jewish congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790, assuring American Jews that their freedom of religion would be protected. The document will go on display this summer for the first time since 2002 in an exhibition at Philadelphia?s National Museum of American Jewish History.

For nine years, the letter has been kept out of public view, in storage at a sterile Maryland office park a few hundred feet from FedEx Field, where the Washington Redskins play. CNN took an inside look at the document in September.

But the Morris Morgenstern Foundation, which owns the letter, has agreed to put the historic document on public display, officials at the National Museum of American Jewish History said.

?Our institution as well as others have been trying to have access to (this) for a long time,? said museum director and CEO Ivy Barsky. ?We feel fortunate that the Morgenstern Foundation thought us worthy.?

The loan agreement between the museum and the foundation is unusual. The museum will have the letter for three years but will be allowed to show it for just three months per year. The letter will be kept in a dark storage area for preservation for the other nine months.

The document will be accompanied by an exhibit called ?To Bigotry No Sanction: George Washington and Religious Freedom,? which will run June 29 to September 30. Barsky said the exhibit came together only after the museum was certain it could showcase Washington?s letter.

Before going into storage in 2002, the letter was on display at the Klutznick Museum at B?nai B?rith International Headquarters in Washington. It was on display there for 45 years before the organization downsized, closing its museum. The letter went into storage.

After that, many people did not realize where the letter had gone, according to Jane Eisner, editor of Forward, a Jewish newspaper. Eisner dedicated a series of editorials over the last year to lobbying for public display of the letter. She also sent a reporter, Paul Berger, to research the history of the letter.

?This is one of those rare moments as a journalist where you can see the fruits of your labor,? Eisner said. ?All we had was all Washington had, which was words. We just have our words and arguments that we try to put out in the public sphere as best we could.?

The letter is considered to be Washington?s key public statement on religious freedom. Eisner and Barsky say that the document signaled a welcoming of all people to America in pursuit of freedom.

?May the father of all mercies scatter light, and not darkness, upon our paths,? the letter reads, ?and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way everlastingly happy.?

The letter addressed the congregation?s fears that Jews could face discrimination in the new nation. ?The letter starts off to the Hebrew congregation of Newport, Rhode Island,? said Mordechai Eskovitz, rabbi of the Touro Synagogue in Newport. ?It was meant for the congregation. It is addressed to the congregation.?

The Library of Congress had asked to display the letter during a 2004 exhibit on the 350th anniversary of Jewish life in America. When the loan was not completed, many historians speculated that no one would be able to meet the standards of the Morgenstern Foundation for exhibiting the letter.

?Usually people would die just to be invited to display their property,? said Jonathan Sarna, professor at Brandeis University and a pre-eminent scholar on Jewish-American history. ?If the Library of Congress wanted something of mine, they would have it the next day with insured mail.?

Berger, the Forward reporter, says the letter?s placement at another Jewish museum could mean the Morgenstern family would like to see the letter stay in a Jewish facility. ?Nobody knows why the family chose the museum in Philadelphia over the Library of Congress,? he said.

The Morgenstern Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.

It is unclear where the document will go after its three-year loan at the Museum of American Jewish History.

Hospice wedding for Pleasanton leukemia patient and beau

PLEASANTON -- The bride wore a flowing lavender gown. The groom wore a dark suit with pink roses on his lapel.

A flute played, those watching wept, and bride and groom statuettes sat atop the cake.

It was a traditional wedding in many ways except for the setting: a nursing and rehabilitation home where hospice patient Rhonda Jackson tied the knot Thursday with her beau of 13 years.

Jackson, 60, and Jerzy Robert Gembura, 55, said they decided to marry now, in part because they hope Jackson is in remission from the leukemia that forced her to move two years ago into Pleasanton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

Their simple ceremony, attended by some 25 caregivers, deepened the meaning of often repeated wedding vows to care for each other in sickness and health and stay together until "death do us part," guests and the chaplain said

"I hope the remission is permanent," said Jackson who is not strong enough walk because of the effects of the cancer and other ailments. Jackson said her doctor told her two years ago to expect to live only a few more weeks.

"You never know," she said. "You take one day at a time."

Jackson called the ceremony one of the best days of her life, although she quipped later that she had no immediate plans to honeymoon or hit the town.

"I'm not going dancing tonight," she said.

The couple -- who lived together in Pleasanton before Jackson moved into the nursing home in 2010 --

planned to share lunch at the home after the morning wedding.

Jackson and Gembura had planned a quiet bedside ceremony, but her caregivers at the facility and those with Vitas Innovative Hospice Care didn't want the first wedding at the nursing facility to go unnoticed.

They ramped up planning, provided a wedding gown, a flutist, balloons, bubbles, a wedding cake and sparkling cider in the living room at the home.

Those caregivers let go with a din of clapping and cheering after the couple was pronounced man and wife by a hospice chaplain.

"It was a very emotional event for us," said Lisa Foster, admission director at the 139-bed home on Neal Street. "They are like family to us."

Gembura and Jackson met nearly 14 years ago via an online dating service.

This is the first marriage for Gembura, an unemployed electrical engineer looking for work.

Jackson is a former architectural designer who has been married three times before.

"I know this is the one that is going to last," she said. "It's like a new beginning."

Wuih! CEO Apple Lewatkan Uang Rp 710 Miliar

Jakarta - CEO Apple Tim Cook membuat suatu keputusan mengejutkan. Bagaimana tidak? Ia melewatkan kesempatan untuk mendapatkan pembayaran dividen sebesar USD 75 juta atau sekitar Rp 710 miliar ($1 = Rp 9.500)!

Dilansir Computerworld, Cook yang merupakan suksesor Steve Jobs, seharusnya mendapat jatah yang disebut sebagai dividen equivalen atas kepemilikan sahamnya di Apple.

Adapun besaran dividen yang diberikan adalah sekitar USD 2,65 per saham untuk satu kuartal atau USD 10,60 per lembar saham selama setahun.

"Atas permintaan Tuan Cook, tidak ada dari restricted stock unit (RSU) miliknya yang akan diajukan untuk dividen equivalen," kata U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Sayang, dalam keterangan SCE tidak disebutkan alasan Cook.

Dengan asumsi dividen kuartal sebesar USD 2,65 per lembar saham dan restricted stock unit yang dimiliki Cook dalam jumlah banyak, maka bos Apple yang kalem itu diperkirakan bisa mendapatkan USD 75 juta.

Tentu ini bukanlah dana yang sedikit. Namun mengingat kekayaan yang dimilikinya, tentu hal ini sejatinya bukan suatu masalah besar bagi Cook.

Terlebih, Cook sebelumnya juga pernah didaulat sebagai CEO dengan gaji tertinggi. Hasil studi firma riset Equilar yang dilansir New York Times menyebutkan, Cook mengantongi sekitar USD 378 juta, yang sudah termasuk gaji, tunjangan, bonus senilai USD 1,8 juta serta jatah saham.

Setelah Cook, dalam daftar 'CEO termahal' ini juga bertengger nama Larry Ellison dari Oracle di urutan kedua dengan bayaran USD 77,6 juta.

Meski belum lama menjabat sebagai CEO Apple, Tim Cook mampu mencuri perhatian. Sebelumnya, dalam sebuah survei berbeda CEO ini ternyata disukai para karyawannya. Sebanyak 97% karyawan Apple setuju dengan cara kepemimpinan Cook.

Untuk urusan yang satu ini, Cook bahkan mengalahkan penilaian terhadap mendiang Steve Jobs yang tahun lalu mendapat persetujuan 95% karyawan.

Dog bites are preventable if you understand the causes of them, and ...

Dogs often bite for one common reason: They are uncomfortable or fearful about a situation that a human has put them in, and the human is not reading the dog's behavior correctly. The dog then reacts.

Lorrie Shaw | Contributor

A frequent conversation that I have with someone who contacts me for the first time to care for their pet involves a lot of dialogue about their dog's behavior, and the better part of it is on the caller's part.

"My dog has been labeled as aggressive toward members of the staff and has been asked not to come back to doggie daycare, but they are fine at home," or, "My pet is uneasy and becomes unmanageable on walks, or around new people or groups of people," are familiar statements.

Some of these pets have snapped at people or even worse ? bitten them.

Can you relate?

The truth is, many of my clients have ended up calling on me because they need a caregiver while they are away or a dog walker through the week, and I'm a last resort, of sorts.

Other arrangements have not worked out well because the pooch, regardless of the size or breed, has been deemed 'dominant', and the owners believe they behave that way for various reasons ? one that I detest is that the dog doesn't respect the fact that their human is the 'pack leader.'

When I say to a potential client, "I understand, and it's common, but let's talk more about that so we can understand why it might be happening, first. Surely there is a reasonable explanation for the behavior..." they tend to relax a bit after a bit of open and honest discussion about what behaviors that their furry friend is exhibiting, revealing a picture about the pet that they didn't expect.

In most of the cases, the dog's behavior is misunderstood: It just boils down to the fact that some pets haven't had proper socialization early in life, they haven't attained the skills they need to navigate through these type of encounters (with both other pets and humans) and some are actually quite fearful.

The sad reality is that misunderstanding these concepts or writing a dog off as merely 'aggressive' and leaving it at that can lead to situations where things escalate to a point when a dog bites someone ? and that's never a good thing.

May 20-27 is Dog Bite Prevention Week, and to highlight that, it only seems fitting to talk about a totally preventable problem that has grown significantly in recent years. One estimate is that 4.7 million dog bites occur each year, and in 1 million of those cases, medical attention is sought.

In a piece by Melissa Bain, DVM, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist and chief of the Behavior Service at the William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, she offers some interesting insight into some facts about dog bites that you might find surprising.

• According to one study, half of children between 4 and 18 years old reported having been bitten by a dog.


• The vast majority of victims were bitten by a dog that they knew, not a stray dog roaming the streets, contrary to popular belief.


• Children and seniors are most likely to be bitten.

These statistic speak to me clearly, and illustrate some of my previous points on why most dog bites occur. These situations are preventable, and it comes down to humans (both kids and adults) understanding what facilitates them and how to best deal with a dog who bites.

In a great piece by Sophia Yin, DVM, MS, she offers some sage insight when it comes to dogs who bite.

One point that stands out is that, quite often, a dog is conveying to the human that he is uncomfortable, but said human is not understanding the message. It's up to us to learn the cues that dogs exhibit by way of body language.

This is especially important for kids, since they are those who fall in the demographic of those who are often?bitten. So, what factors create these dog bite?cases?

Many times, children have not learned how to approach a dog correctly and they don't know how to 'read' what a dog is saying when they communicate that they are not comfortable being approached. Other scenarios include a child approaching a sleeping pet ? surprising them ? or not understanding how to greet dogs. (Embedded in the text are great video links that you can watch with your children.)

On the other hand, many dogs who bite are fearful. Time and time again, we see in that fearful dogs haven't had proper socialization early in life, and they haven't attained the skills they need to navigate through encounters that they find challenging.

Yin explains this concept in her most recent blog post.

Generally fearful dogs start off by trying to stay away from the things that scare them. But as they are confronted with scary situations repeatedly, they can learn that offense (barking, snapping, biting) is their best defense because it makes the scary people go away.

Fortunately, there are ways to help dogs learn how to navigate through encounters with humans that they find challenging, by way of desensitization and classical counterconditioning (DS/CC). And with some diligence, finesse and patience on the human's part, their dog can behave more confidently when it comes to being social, regardless of the situation.

Yin gives more detail on this and other concepts, such as how canines can be taught to carry out proper replacement behaviors that are disparate with the fearful behavior they have become so familiar with exhibiting, in her blog post, 'Help, My Dog Bites! How to Deal with Dogs Who Bite'.

Excellent resources related to the topic of preventing dog bites are included as well.

I can't deny that some dog bites happen when one encounters an unfamiliar dog who is fearful or aggressive, and Bain details some must-have tips for what to do in a situation like this in her piece, 'Any Dog Can Bite: Strategies to Protect Your Family'.

In reality, all dog bite situations happen because of an oversight on the part of a human. With diligence, proper education and understanding of canine socialization, behavior and body language ? and precautions to ensure that dogs are not placed in a situation where they will react by biting ??we can keep it from happening.

Ringtone Maker- Make WMA,M4A,OGG,MKA MP3 to ringtones for Galaxy S3

(SkyNewswire.com) Samsung Galaxy S3, 2012 most eagerly awaited android phone is coming. This elegant Smartphone features impressive 4.8 inch Super AMOLED Capacitive multi-touch HD display that truly promises to make your world wider. It?s a really big phone but it?s comfortable to hold.

If you?ve put your hands onto it, do some personal settings on it is necessary. Setting a personalized ringtone for your Galaxy S3 will also be the priority especially for some young people. I believe some users will want to make a ringtone for Galaxy S3.

Firstly, please make sure your PC running 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7, and copy or transfer your MP3s to PC. Then you should download a top Video to Galaxy S3 Converter, here I take Brorsoft Video Converter as an eample. Because it is based on NVIDIA CUDA& AMD APP(ATI Stream) Technologies, which can hep you transcode WMA, M4A, OGG, MKA to MP3 for Galaxy S3 at super fast speed if you have some audio files in other format like WMA, M4A, OGG that Galaxy S3 cannot support follow the bellow three steps.

Step 1: Launch Galaxy S3 Video Converter- the best Galaxy S3 Video Ringtone Maker and click the button for adding to import the WMA, M4A, OGG, MKA audio files to it.

Step 2: Tap the ?Format? option, move your pointer to ?Common Audio? set the ?MP3-MPEG Layer-3 Audio(*.mp3)? as the output format. And then set the output folder as you want.

Step 3: Click the ?Convert? button; it will start convert the conversion immediately.

After the easy conversion, you can get the output MP3 files for your Galaxy S3, and add WMA, M4A, OGG, MKA MP3 to Galaxy S3 to make a personalized ringtone as the follow parts.

SMS ringtone:
Create a folder in your SD card notifications folder and save mp3 files on it. Then go to message settings, select ringtone. You should be able to find the saved file there since it has been saved on the notifications folder.

Incoming Calls ringtone:
You can assign a video ringtone to a specific contact. Transfer your MP3 files to Galaxy S3(It can be saved in the Music Library) And you have to have the contact saved to your "Phone". If it?s saved to the SIM card just find the contact and click hold it until it brings up the options. Click "Copy to phone". Delete the SIM card version of the contact. Go into the newly saved "Phone" contact and click "Edit". When you scroll down you will see the option to select the MP3 as a personlized ringtone as you like.

Tricks:
Most of the time, you do not want to set the whole MP3 as the ringtone. You may just need a part of it, probably the chorus of a song. In that case, you need to trim it, and get the wanted part. Fortunately, Galaxy S3 Video Converter as the best Galaxy S3 Video Ringtone Maker can also do you a favor:

1. Run the Galaxy S3 Video Ringtone Maker and import your MP3 files.

2. Click the edit button and tap the ?Trim? icon, and then drag the process bar to the trim points to get your wanted part of the MP3. You can find the exact start time and end time in the ?Start? and ?End? boxes. Finally click the ?OK? icon to confirm.

3. Set the ?MP3-MPEG Layer-3 Audio(*.mp3)? as the output format.

4. Click the convert button to start the conversion. Now, get the output files, you can custom ringtones for Galaxy S3.

BBM will not be heading to Android, still need to buy a BlackBerry for it

For a long old time now, we've heard various tales of the jewel in the BlackBerry crown, BlackBerry Messenger, breaking free and heading over to Android. We've seen "screenshots", just as we've seen the rumors get dismissed. It seems now though that we can finally lay the whole thing to bed. BBM will not be coming to Android. 

The final installment reads a little like this. A new report from the WSJ claims that RIM was indeed testing BBM on other platforms, cunningly disguised as "SMS 2.0." Then enters new CEO Thorsten Heins, who apparently has taken the option completely off the table. Sources familiar with the matter told the WSJ "it was not up for discussion." 

So there we have it. Anyone disappointed? Maybe not. The world remains as it always was -- if you really want BBM, you sure as gosh darn it don't buy an Android phone.

Android A to Z: DLNA

DLNA, or the Digital Living Network Alliance is an organization set up by Sony in 2003 that determines a universal set of rules and guidelines so devices can share digital media. The devices covered include computers, cameras, televisions, network storage devices, and of course cell phones. The guidelines are built from existing standards, but manufacturers have to pay to use them and have their device join the DLNA.

With DLNA devices, you can share video, music and pictures from a Digital Media Server (DMS) to your Android phone or tablet. A DMS could be your computer, a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, a television or Blu-ray player, or even another Android device. Anything that has a DLNA server, or can have one installed will act as a DMS. Fun factoid: when a DLNA server is installed on a cell phone, tablet, or portable music player it's called a M-DMS -- the M stands for Mobile.

Once a DLNA server is in place, our Android phones usually have two functions -- to act as a Digital Media Player (M-DMP) or a Digital Media Controller (M-DMC). The player is easy enough to figure out, it finds content on a DLNA server and plays it back. A DMC will find content on a DLNA server, and push it to another connected player. For example, my television has a DLNA player, and my laptop has a server. With the right software, I could use my Android phone to find the content on my laptop and play it on my television. DLNA can really be fun if you have all the right equipment.

But chances are Android (and eventually other mobile devices) will be moving away from DLNA. With Ice Cream Sandwich, Wifi Direct is part of the operating system and has the potential to do everything DLNA can do, and more. We already have seen it replace DLNA streaming in the HTC One series with the Media Link HD receiver, which streams content from a Sense 4 device to a monitor with HDMI input. It uses native Wifi Direct, and by all accounts works really nicely. Or Samsung, who is using NFC to kick off a Wifi Direct session for fast data transfer on the Galaxy S III. We'll have to wait and see what manufacturers do with Wifi Direct, because having it built into the OS is a big plus -- even for a company like Samsung who makes millions of DLNA devices each year.

?Hey! Why was my entry removed??

I will reluctantly remove any links that don?t comply. I apologize, but I will no longer be able to leave a comment telling you that I?ve removed a non-compliant link.

• The most common reason entries are removed is because they don?t adhere to the guidelines: either they don?t contain a link back to this post, they contain ingredients that aren?t listed here, they link to another blog event, or they contain neither a recipe nor anything directly related to food preparation. If you render a recipe vegan-friendly by adding a vegan option to your ingredients, your post will be good to go! For older posts, you?re welcome to re-post them during the week of the event, or choose a newer recipe.
• Another reason posts are removed is because the link leads to an advertisement or a business blog. Please do NOT link up posts that are merely referrals to a different post or the home page for another blog event.
• I hate to have to remove links! PLEASE read the guidelines before posting!

And n0w. . . what have you been cooking up lately? Please share!
