Adopting a Pet: What Shelters Want You to Know

About Clear the Shelters

NBC and Telemundo owned stations are teaming up with hundreds of shelters across the country to host Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption drive on Saturday, August 18 to help find loving homes for animals in need. Over 80,000 pets found their forever homes in 2017.

    Adopting a Pet: What Shelters Want You to Know

    Sharing a home with a four-legged friend can be one of life's greatest joys. But while pet ownership is rewarding, it's also a big decision. Dogs require lots of time, money and responsibility — 10 to 15 years' worth, in many cases.

    Dr. Pia Salk, author and spokeswoman for the non-profit pet adoption website AdoptaPet.com, warns against taking home a pet on a whim or because you feel it's "love at first sight."

    "Do your research and carefully consider all aspects and implications of owning a pet before you make a decision," Salks advised. "When you adopt, you need to make a real commitment to care for your pet for its entire life."

    Here are few things shelters hope prospective pet parents will consider:

    Falling in love with a tail-wagging Maltese or adorable boxer is easy. But pets can't be ignored on those days when you're too tired or busy. Dogs require daily food, water, exercise and companionship. You'll have to account for your pet in making all kinds of decisions, including travel, social life and overtime at work.

    If you work long hours or travel often, you'll need to arrange for someone to walk or dog-sit your pooch, according to Alberdina Schmidt, director of A Different Breed Animal Rescue in Dallas, Texas. Most cities have dog-walking and boarding services, as well as swanky day spas, if you can afford the investment.

    As a pet parent, owners have an obligation to care for their furry friends in sickness and in health.

    The first year of pet ownership will cost about $1,300 for a small dog and upwards of $1,800 for a larger one — not including emergency visits to the vet, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

    Those figures include initial one-time expenses like spaying, vaccinations, training and start-up supplies (such as a collar and leash), as well as the annual cost of food, treats, pet insurance, grooming and vet visits. Make sure you're prepared for emergency expenses if Buddy swallows his chew toy or your earrings.

    Every subsequent year, dog owners should expect to spend about $700 on their four-legged friends. Owners of small mammals will spend closer to $300, while bird owners will spend $200. Fish are the least expensive, at just $35 a year, the ASPCA estimates.

    If you're thinking of bringing a dog home and are concerned about the financial overhead, don't be discouraged. Dogs from shelters and rescues are usually neutered and up to date on shots, eliminating that expense from the first-year total. You can check out some other cost-saving tips here.

    Is your living arrangement suitable for the animal you have in mind? If you live in a shoe-box apartment, a large dog may not be the best choice. Do you have a backyard? Make sure your fence is properly secured before bringing your new puppy home, especially if the dog is a smaller breed. Pet-proof your home to make sure toxic materials and valuables are out of reach.

    It is also important to know if and how you are limited by housing-related pet policies. Some landlords don't allow pets or have size restrictions.

    Tips for Helping Your New Shelter Dog AdjustTips for Helping Your New Shelter Dog Adjust

    When you bring your new shelter dog home, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First up: learn how to read your pup's body language to know his or her mood.

    (Published Monday, July 24, 2017)

    Many rescue groups, such as A Different Breed, require renters to provide written permission from the property owner as part of the adoption application. Certain breeds are often excluded from homeowner insurance policies, so it's important to double check before bringing home your new best friend.

    If you're adopting a pet for your kids, understand the responsibility is ultimately yours. Jacque Lynn Schultzm, companion animal programs adviser for Petfinder.com, said children by nature often tire of things that were once new and exciting — and this includes pets. Expecting to impose the sole pet-care responsibility on a child is not fair to the child or dog, Schultsm said.

    Research different breeds and figure out what size, age and energy level is most appropriate for you and your family.

    Whether you buy a puppy from a breeder or adopt an older dog from a shelter, your pooch is going to need some basic training. Pets need plenty of guidance when it comes to abiding by human rules.

    Diane Summers, program manager at the Orange County Animal Services in Florida, urges pet owners to plan for a several-week adjustment period during which there will be challenges. Remember, bringing a new dog into your home is just as much an adjustment for the dog as it is for you.

    How to Train Your Dog Like a ProHow to Train Your Dog Like a Pro

    The most important thing to know about training your new pup, according to Petco dog trainer Chloe Sternlicht, is that dogs respond best to positive reinforcement. So be patient when Fido makes a mistake and smother him with praise and treats when he get it right. Sternlicht gives some tips for getting your dog to respond to basic commands.

    (Published Monday, July 24, 2017)

    Private training costs vary widely. An expert trainer in New York City, for example, can charge as much as $200 an hour. Nationwide pet retailers like Petco and PetSmart offer six-week training courses starting at about $109.

    According to angieslist.com, states don’t require that dog trainers be licensed, so make sure to ask about the trainer’s education, credentials and experience. You can also ask your local veterinarian for recommendations or, if professional training is out of your budget, for suggestions on a good how-to book.

    So you've done your homework, reviewed your checklist and even brainstormed a few names. Now you're ready to bring home your new best friend. The last question to consider is: From where do you adopt?

    Public animal shelters are run and funded by local governments. Also known as "the pound," these facilities house animals that have been seized by animal control for various reasons or picked up as strays, according to Jennifer Jacobsen, director of shelter programs at AdoptaPet.com.

    Local municipalities also subsidize private shelters affiliated with the Humane Society or SPCA, Jacobsen said. Humane societies only take in animals when they have room, unlike animal control, which must house all strays.

    There are two types of shelters: "kill" and "no kill." Pets in "kill" shelters are given a grace period for adoption, then humanely euthanized as the shelter runs out of room. "No kill" shelters have limited admission and usually don't accept animals over a certain age or with medical or behavioral issues.

    Animal rescue organizations, on the other hand, are funded mainly by private donations, staffed by volunteers and typically have limited admission, according to Adoptapet.com. Unlike shelters, which house pets on-site in kennels, rescue animals are fostered into temporary homes until they find a "forever home."

    Dos and Don'ts With Stray CatsDos and Don'ts With Stray Cats

    Here are some tips for what you should and shouldn't do if you find a stray cat.

    (Published Wednesday, July 26, 2017)

    The biggest difference between shelters and rescue organizations is the adoption fee. Because animal rescues rely solely on public and private donations, a higher fee is used to offset some of the veterinary and pet-care expenses.

    "When you adopt a pet, your new best friend is usually spayed or neutered and up to date on shots, etc., and the adoption fee is often a fraction of what was spent to do those things and care for a pet with food and supplies in the time leading up to adoption," explained Diana Puglisi of AdoptaPet.com.

    Whether you choose to adopt through a shelter or rescue, you'll be saving two lives — the one you take home and the space it opens up for a another dog to take over.

My New Favourite| Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask

Hi everyone!

Today, I wanted to share my new favourite face mask with you. It's the Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Sanctuary Spa products! Some would say I have a slight obsession ;-). You can read my post about my favourite products (here). There's nothing more I love than finding a new gem in their range. And, what a gem I have to show you today! It's my new favourite skincare product.

I recently had a bad breakout and I was on the hunt for a deep cleansing mask. I was delighted to find this little beaut as it worked wonders for my skin!

Here's my thoughts on it:

Packaging: The packaging is nice and simple, and easy to open. It's also very compact so, it doesn't take up too much space in my bathroom cabinet. (Handy!) It would also be good for travelling with if you are looking for something small to take with you. It lasted me two weeks and I got three uses out of it.

Texture/ Consistency:  I love the consistency of this! It's thick and creamy, making it easy to apply. It also feels really smooth on the skin. It reminds me of wet clay. It took me back to my Primary school days when we used to make clay sculptures ;-).

Smell: It's naturally fragranced with plant extracts and essential oils so, it doesn't really have a smell. I usually like my face masks to smell fruity and sweet but it was refreshing to have a natural scent for a change.

 Application: The thick, creamy consistency made it very easy to apply. I massaged a thin layer over my face (a little goes a long way with this) and it warmed up instantly. The heat felt so nice on my skin and it was very relaxing! It would be a lovely mask to use in the winter ;-). I left it on for five minutes as it suggested and I could feel it working. I love using a mask that feels like it's actually doing something! I was also impressed with how quick and easy it was to wash off!

How well it worked: I was very happy with the results of this mask. It left my combination skin looking much more healthier! It also helped clear up my breakout and left my skin feeling very smooth.

Overall, I'm really happy with this face mask! I'll definitely be repurchasing this and I'd also like to try some of their other face masks.

Anyone else like the Sanctuary Spa face masks?

Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki (????) is a Japanese way of cooking where the food is broiled or grilled in a sweet soy sauce mixture. Many foods can be cooked in teriyaki style such as salmon, tuna, chicken, beef, zucchini, etc.

Teriyaki sauce is one of my favourite Japanese flvours. It is simple to make your own teriyaki sauce that tastes great. You can make a lot of teriyaki sauce and store it in the fridge until needed.

Mirin is a sweet rice wine that is similar to sake. You can also get an imitation mirin that has no alcohol in it. You should be able to find mirin in the asian section of your local grocery store or your local asian grocery store.

You can change the flavour of the sauce by changing the ratios of the soy, mirin, sake and sugar. The sugar can also be replaced with another sweetener such as brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc. You can also add extras like garlic or ginger.

Teriyaki Sauce

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy
  • 3 tablespoons mirin
  • 3 tablespoons sake
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  1. Heat in the soy, mirin, sake and sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved.

katiez said...

See, there's the problem... If I HAD a local Asian market...or an Asian section in my local supermarket I could actually buy teriyaki sauce and not have to make my own. As it is, I can't get mirin or sake...sigh...
I wonder if I could substitute sweet sherry for the mirin and dry for the sake?!?! Not the same, but close.
Anyway, thanks for the recipe - I now have a starting point LOL

Ferdzy said...

Ha! Non-alcoholic mirin? I've always shied away from going and looking for it because of the alcohol, which I need to avoid. Next time I'm out and about I'll look for that.

Ferdzy said...

Oh drat, that still leaves the sake. Any suggestions there?

Kevin said...

katiez: I have never tried using sherry in the teriyaki sauce. It sounds like it would be interesting to try.

ferdzy: Sorry, I am do not know of a non-alcoholic sake... I am not sure this helps but; I am pretty sure that most if not all of the alcohol would be cooked off.

Feisty Artist said...

Interesting! I never thought about making my own Teriyaki sauce since it is easily found in most supermarkets. (look in the grill and marinade section, Katiez) As for the rice wines, I would look for one of those Liquor Superstores that have many varieties of beer and wine. ;-)

Anonymous said...

Here's a completely different recipe for teriyaki sauce that I use. The mixture of ginger, chilli, garlic and lime makes for an incredible smell when cooking. It's soooo flavoursome, and nicer than the teriyaki sauces I've had out at restaurants!

Anonymous said...

doh.. it cut off- I'll try again:

Kevin said...

I like the sound of using the lime in a teriyaki sauce.

Nicholas said...

I'm not sure if you've found this out already, ferdzy, but you might check your local ABC store for some Sake - that's where I got a bottle for myself.

Tumerica said...

Exactly, Closet Cooking! Paying good money for teriyaki sauce is like paying someone for the air you breathe. Too simple, too easy--no way should that cost anything extra. Takes only a minute or two to throw the ingredients in a pot and simmer. What's the big deal? Makes me crazy to see how American consumers are lead to believe that they can't cook by all the ready made stuff out there. It's something that takes time to make, like curry powder--that's understandable. The hardest part about teriyaki is just having mirin on hand. Simple. Now, to go make some teri sauce for our salmon supper. Yum!

Entropy said...

I've heard that soy and BBQ sauce make an excellent teriyaki!!

Bonus tip: Mix in a blender with fresh sardines/anchovies for extra flavor!!!

Anonymous said...

Just now looking at some teriyaki sauce recipe and many have mirin/sake in it.

Never made it that way, just use shoyu (soy sauce), sesame seed oil, sugar. Boil then simmer until thickened. Add a bit of flour, cornstarch or other thickeners for a basting sauce.

Substitute and add in other ingredients and you're done

Sugar can be brown, cane, molasses, honey, etc.

Additions can be toasted sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, onions, scallions, peppers, etc.

Have fun :)

Anonymous said...

Katiez... I have a recipe. Used for chicken.

Use 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup sherry, and 1/3 cup honey.

Mix: 1 tablespoon water with 2 tablespoons cornstarch and add for a thickener.

I think it came from a cookbook that came with a 70's GE Microwave. Tastes great and all ingredients are very common.

Bob - Alameda CA said...

Some misconceptions, rectified:

FIRST, yes ... you can use all the dealcoholized items you want. OR, you can just cook it a bit longer, and evaporate all the alcohol! 99% of the original 3% is gone with 5 minutes of gentle simmering. That leaves 0.03%, or LESS than commercially dealcoholized products!!!

SECOND, these recipes specify simple ingredients, yet miss the point when it comes to aromatizing flavors. Peeling the orange zest off a single orange into the sauce while it is cooling off is just amazing. Using a half cup of orange juice from the same orange gives a very pleasant tang to the sauce.

THIRD, there's the authenticity factor. Any asian food store, no matter how small and hole-in-the-wall will have tapioca starch. Japanese NEVER use "corn" starch, since it doesn't result in a sauce but more of a gel. I paid $0.75 (can you believe ANYTHING less than a dollar these days?) for a hefty 1/2 lb bag of the stuff just last week at a Filippino store. This is the secret to thickening. It also not-so-coincidentally makes WAY better gravies, bisques, thickened sauces and even bulked up light cream soups. This is a must-have secret incredient.

FOURTH, all good teriyaki sauces should have a dash of rice vinegar. Mirin and Sake notwithstanding, a tablespoon of rice vinegar adds to the aromaticity. Further, you've never eaten salad until you have it with a rice-vinegar, minced shallot, squeeze of lime, light olive oil, salt and tarragon dressing. Just scruptious.

LASTLY, I recommend making 4 cups at a time, since the labor is exactly the same, and it stores for a LONG time in the refrigerator in a well-cleaned Ball canning jar, or recycled sauce (glass) container.

Talk back at rlynch@irishmonkey.net if you like.

maY said...

nice, i'll try this recipe. thx

CarolinaDreamz said...

Thank you for posting this recipe. I've enjoyed the comments, too. I live outside of Charleston, today, and I'm now completely out of Mirin. I've used quite a bit of gas to find it, where I've seen it before.. nothing. I am going to have to turn to mail-order. Sad.

Jared goes back for more of Rick’s prick as Rick plays with Jared’s tight hole. Rick takes control by pulling him to the end of the bed and sticking his cock in Jared’s ass. Rick takes it easy for a minute but once he feels Jared’s tight ass around his dick he can’t hold back too long. He fucks him harder and faster, giving Jared’s insides every bit of his bareback dick. Rick climbs on the bed with Jared and lets him ride that cock raw. Jared bounces up and down and Rick moans in pleasure. The boys switch places again, and now Jared is getting pounded from behind. Pop in to see just how hotter this scene gets!

Employment Law Solutions. Expert advice... more personal

Changes to whistleblowing law

Whistleblowing fell back into the spotlight earlier this year as a result of a number of high profile cases which were picked up by the media, including the case of Gary Walker who said he was paid £500,000 on leaving the NHS not to disclose his concerns over patient safety at the hospital trust he was employed as the Head of until 2010.

A number of flaws were uncovered in the legal provisions on whistleblowing which the changes implemented on 25 June 2013 aim to rectify.

Public interest requirement

Prior to 25 June a worker had to show they had a reasonable belief that one of a number of things had occurred to ensure that their disclosure was a qualifying one. If they could show that a criminal offence had been committed or there was a breach of a legal obligation or a danger to an individual’s health and safety, for example.

Under the new provisions a worker now has to show that they had a reasonable belief that their disclosure was in the “public interest” (albeit that this is not defined further) for the disclosure to qualify for protection.

Public Concern at Work, known as the whistleblowing charity, argues that this adds an additional hurdle for workers to overcome if they feel the need to speak up about wrongdoing in the workplace. However, it should be noted that the worker only has to show they had a reasonable belief that this was the case, not that their disclosure was in the public interest which widens the scope in this regard.

“Good faith” requirement

The “good faith” requirement under the previous framework required that a disclosure be made by a worker in “good faith” or with the primary motive being to right a wrong, in order to be qualifying.

It has been suggested that this requirement has been removed to counteract the introduction of the “public interest” requirement above, as there has been some serious criticism of government for a failure to consult on that change.

Despite the fact “good faith” is no longer a legal requirement, where a tribunal considers a disclosure has not been made in such a manner it may reduce any award it makes to a complainant, who has been successful in a claim for unfair dismissal or detriment based on a protected disclosure, by up to 25%.

Vicarious liability

Following the decision in NHS Manchester v Fecitt and others [2012] where the Court of Appeal held that an employer could not be held to be vicariously liable where an employee victimises another employer who is a whistleblower, changes have been made to the law.

Employers will now be held to be vicariously liable for any detriment caused by an employee on another employee. In addition, personal liability for employees who victimise another employee has been introduced.

There is however a statutory defence available if an employer can show that they took all reasonably practicable steps to prevent the actions alleged from occurring.

North Fork Valley federal lawsuit seeks end to secret oil, gas land nomination process

Two groups filed a lawsuit (pdf) in federal court this week to learn the identities of the individuals or corporations who nominated 30,000 acres in the North Fork Valley for oil and gas drilling.

The nominated parcels in the North Fork Valley — home to one of the highest concentrations of organic farms in Colorado and one of just two designated wine regions in the state — were included in the BLM’s oil and gas auction this August but they were deferred due to fierce public opposition.

“The public has a right to know which companies are nominating our public lands for oil and gas development,” Jim Ramey, director of Citizens for a Healthy Community, said in a press release. “This is just another example of how the government bends over backward to protect the interests of an industry with deep pockets instead of interests of the public.”

Federal officials have said the practice of keeping nominators’ names secret until after a lease is auctioned protects the process against unfair competition between potential bidders.

Unofficial Colorado Roadless Week rolls on with Sherman hearing, rally

In what the Pew Environment Group has dubbed “Unofficial Colorado Roadless Week,” opponents of the state’s controversial policy aimed at protecting 4.4 million acres of mostly undeveloped public lands will converge on Denver’s Civic Center Park at noon on Thursday after a three-week road show in 10 Colorado cities.

Towing a 16-foot-long wall covered with snapshots of supporters of a more protective national roadless rule that would preempt Colorado’s rule – which they argue makes far too many road-building exceptions for water and power infrastructure, energy development, logging and ski-area expansion – organizers have dubbed their push “Don’t Sell Colorado Short.”

Thursday’s rally comes close to the Saturday, Oct. 3, deadline for submitting comments on the revamped Colorado roadless rule. Also on Thursday, Senator Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., are expected to introduce bipartisan legislation to codify the 2001 Clinton roadless rule that was later thrown out by the Bush administration.

In other roadless news, the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee will begin confirmation hearings today for Colorado Department of Natural Resources director Harris Sherman as the Obama administration’s pick to oversee the U.S. Forest Service as the Department of Agriculture’s Undersecretary for Natural Resources and Environment. Sherman’s spearheading of the Colorado roadless rule makes him somewhat of a controversial selection for that post.

And Pew responded Wednesday to comments made Monday in Denver by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to the Colorado Independent indicating some willingness to at least take some of the Colorado roadless rule’s exception for logging roads into consideration, given the ongoing pine bark beetle epidemic and looming fire threat.

According to Pew’s Rob Vandermark:

“The argument that the roadless rule was developed before the pine beetle epidemic, and therefore Colorado needs to come up with a new program, doesn’t wash. The 2001 roadless rule builds in considerable exemptions for road building and tree cutting to address fire risk.

“Logging 1.5 miles away from at-risk communities, as the state rule would allow, would do little to reduce the risk of fire to those communities, especially if little or no action had been taken to reduce the risk of fire in the area immediately surrounding each community.”

Four days after Denver’s lesbian, gay, and transgender community threw their annual celebration, Washington, D.C. has wizened up a bit to issues surrounding trans individuals. This morning, the US House of Representatives hosted the first ever Congressional hearing on the trans community, called "An Examination of Discrimination Against Transgender Americans in the Workplace." The hearing was convened by New Jersey Congressman Rob Andrews, a Democrat who chairs the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor.

The National Center for Transgender Equality’s Executive Director, Mara Keisling, calls it a "historical day," saying that the hearing will "help to build the foundation for significant changes in federal laws protecting transgender people from discrimination."

Testimony from the hearing is available in PDF form here, here, and here.

Perry pledges to select only pro-life cabinet members if president

Perry pledges to select only pro-life cabinet members if president

Texas Gov. Rick Perry — currently in the lead, according to Gallup, to be the Republican nominee for president in 2012 — signed (PDF) on Wednesday the Susan B. Anthony List’s controversial anti-abortion pledge.

Perry’s signature joins those of candidates Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.), Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.). The pledge is intended to influence whom these presidential hopefuls will choose to fill their cabinets, should they win next year’s presidential election.

The four-point pledge stipulates that signers agree to “select only pro-life appointees for relevant Cabinet and Executive Branch positions, in particular the head of National Institutes of Health, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health & Human Services.”

In a post on the Washington Post blog Right Turn, Jennifer Rubin points out that Perry might come to regret putting pen to the SBA List’s pledge when he realizes it means he won’t be able to appoint former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to his cabinet, who Rubin suggests might have been Perry’s pick for attorney general.

From WaPo:

Perry endorsed Giuliani for president in 2008. Good enough for the Oval Office but not the Justice Department? I asked the Perry campaign to explain but no answer was forthcoming.

Has Perry rethought the qualities needed for national service or is he the latest candidate, unfortunately, to jump when a special-interest group comes calling? Then it was good enough to look Giuliani in the eye. Now he’s not good enough to run HHS. Maybe Perry regrets endorsing Giuliani, or maybe he didn’t read through the SBA pledge. But his position then and his position now in the wisdom of pro-choice politicians serving in high office are contradictory. He should explain himself to the voters.

GOP presidential hopefuls who have not signed the SBA List’s pledge include former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and Herman Cain.

Adding to his support for the anti-abortion rights movement, in November Perry is scheduled to co-chair the 40-year anniversary gala of Americans United for Life, an influential anti-abortion rights policy group based in Washington, D.C.

EchoStar 105/SES-11 Shipped From Toulouse To The Cape For SpaceX Launch

EchoStar 105/SES-11 Shipped from Toulouse to the Cape for SpaceX Launch. Image Credit: Business Wire/Airbus Defence and Space

September 20, 2017 – EchoStar Corp., SES and Airbus Defence and Space announced today that the new EchoStar 105/SES-11 spacecraft, built by Airbus, has been shipped from the Airbus facilities in Toulouse, France, to Cape Canaveral, Florida, for its forthcoming launch by SpaceX in October. The first satellite that EchoStar has constructed with manufacturer Airbus, EchoStar 105/SES-11 will be launched by SpaceX on a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

EchoStar 105/SES-11, a high-powered hybrid Ku and C-band communications satellite, is a dual-mission satellite for US-based operator EchoStar and Luxembourg-based operator SES. EchoStar 105/SES-11 provides EchoStar with 24 Ku-band transponders of 36 MHz, marketed as EchoStar 105, while it provides SES with a C-band payload of 24 transponders, marketed under the name SES-11. EchoStar 105/SES-11 replaces Ku-band capacity for AMC-15 and C-band capacity for AMC-18 at SES’ well-established 105 degrees West orbital slot.

EchoStar 105 was tailored to meet the Ku-band capacity needs of EchoStar’s enterprise, media and broadcast, and U.S. government service provider customers, offering coverage of the 50 U.S. states and expanded reach to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

SES-11, designed to accelerate the development of SES’s U.S. prime video neighborhood and optimized for digital television delivery, joins SES-1 and SES-3 at the center of SES’s robust North American orbital arc, which reaches more than a hundred million TV homes. It also replaces C-band capacity for AMC-18, which SES offers over North America, including Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, empowering businesses and governments to capture new opportunities and expand their reach.

EchoStar 105/SES-11 is the 47th satellite based on Airbus’s highly reliable Eurostar E3000 platform. It will have a launch mass of 5,200 kg and spacecraft power of 12 kW.

EchoStar Corporation is a premier global provider of satellite communication solutions. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, and conducting business around the globe, EchoStar is a pioneer in secure communications technologies through its Hughes Network Systems and EchoStar Satellite Services business segments.

Using websites to deliver personalised services

Is personalisation poised to enter the digital age? Mark Hunter reports on three pioneering websites for adult care services, which are also reviewed by service user Simon Heng

At first sight, social care seems to have embraced the online marketplace with open arms. Social services’ IT departments bristle with web-based resource allocation, case management and budget management systems. Technology has revolutionised the procurement and commissioning process and tendering is routinely conducted through e-auctions.

However, the frontline of care remains stubbornly old-school. Service users who can happily order their groceries, books and music online find that spending their personal budgets requires numerous phone calls and form-filling.

“There are a lot of different online models aimed at service users now,” says Andrew Tyson, policy lead at the personalisation charity In Control. “But local authorities are being a little tentative in using them. I think that many have found that personalisation itself has been a big step forward. So perhaps the online market is just a step too far at the moment.”

Nevertheless, there are some forward-looking authorities that, if not ready to take the plunge, are at least dipping their toes in the water.

Harrow Council in north London has its own online catalogue on the shop4support site and eight local authorities in London have completed a pilot project with online market pioneers Slivers of Time.

Initial results suggest there is an untapped market for a range of services that could be ordered online – from assistance with meals to putting up flat-pack furniture. The project also highlighted some barriers to the online market, such as the issue of safeguarding and vetting, the role of volunteers and of accessibility.

Sue Bott, director of the National Council for Independent Living, emphasises that, although the online market offers advantages for service users, it will not suit everybody.

“I think that these sites do provide the opportunity to act more independently and offer more choice,” Bott says.

“But they are not really accessible to everyone so, although I would like to see local authorities offering more services like this, they certainly shouldn’t be used in isolation.”

Shop4support is a social enterprise set up jointly in 2004 by personalisation charity In Control and the e-procurement company Valueworks.

The site is essentially an online shopping mall offering service users, their families and carers equipment and services ranging from nursing care to legal and financial advice.

Equipment covers the range of adapted products to aid everyday living. There is also a community section where members can share experiences and rate the services and equipment they have bought. There is a rolling social care news banner and a function to help individual budget holders manage their finances.

We wanted to get closer to the concept of shopping,” says In Control’s consumer support director, Caroline Tomlinson. “If you were going to hire a plumber you might ask your friends or family for a recommendation. But if you are looking for a care assistant then you might not know anyone else in that situation. The internet allows us to break down that isolation.”

Tomlinson claims that sites such as shop4support can also help providers and local authorities streamline invoicing systems that have been put under pressure by the demands of personalisation.

“The technology can take over that backroom function and provide a platform for both buyers and sellers. That should relieve local authorities from a burden of administration,” Tomlinson says.

TRIED AND TESTED: Simon Heng writes

Shop4support compares itself to eBay and Tesco, and in layout and ease of use comes close to achieving this, to the point where you can buy segments of care as you would books on Amazon.

Shop4support is a model for accessibility. For example, the service user can easily adjust the font sizes and screen colours. It also includes an accessibility statement. I recommend that anyone providing web access for people with disabilities read this.

For the vulnerable adults who may come to rely on this service, the two most important will be the availability, quality and reliability of the people and services advertised, and whether they and their supporters have the skills and confidence to use the site.

Shop4support seems to have these criteria in mind, but success will be measured by constant use over a period of time.

Dotcomunity is the brainchild of Steve Piper, managing director of The Care Division, which provides support staff to people with disabilities.

he site is a not-for-profit directory of community services and care information. It allows users to locate what is available in their area and to review and rate their experiences with the listed organisations. It is free to both users and to the organisations.

Initially serving just the South West region, Dotcomunity launched nationally last month (February).

The directory includes support services, employment, legal matters, finance, sports and social activities. A members’ area allows events and services to be reviewed and scored using a star-rating system.

Piper hopes the rating system will ensure good services prosper while encouraging poorer services to improve their standards.

“The good ones will appear at the top of the list while the bad ones will either shape up or fall off the bottom,” he says.

The idea for the site came about when The Care Division’s staff began to find it difficult to access or even find out about services and activities for their clients.

“One of the outcomes of Valuing People and the campus re-provision programme has been the closure of the day centres,” says Piper. “This means that the people who provide services and those who know about them have been scattered to the four winds.

“In preparation for the site we spent a year data-harvesting and have identified 25,000 service providers for people with learning and physical disabilities. We’ve now divided these up into 135 categories and put them all in one place on the site.”

TRIED AND TESTED: Simon Heng writes

Dotcomunity offers the same accessibility features as shop4support, including anchoring (each image displays a descriptor as the cursor moves over it), and widget icons for each word, to help people with learning disabilities.

The community news sections consist mainly of links to care-related news on BBC and community care websites.

Much of the site is still empty. The finishing touches were put to the portal at the end of January, but it hasn’t attracted enough providers and contributors to make this a useful, national resource yet.

Wingham Rowan is a pioneer of the online labour market. Five years ago he took a £500,000 government grant to develop the Slivers-of-Time concept, under which people with time to spare offer their services to employers on an ad hoc basis.

Slivers-of-Time markets are up and running throughout the country, serving local authorities, the health service and private companies.

Rowan now plans to extend the concept to personalised social care, and Slivers-of-Time is developing a person-to-person marketplace that would allow service users instant online access to pre-vetted care and personal assistants.

“We need a more user-friendly market place that offers products, packages of care and more ad hoc local services that do not have to be planned weeks in advance,” says Rowan.

Vetted care workers would sign up to the service indicating what hours they are available to work and where. A service user requiring an assistant for, say, that afternoon would log on and be presented with a list of workers, prioritised by price and personal preference. One click brings the user and worker together.

“Let’s not kid ourselves that this is going to be easy,” says Rowan. “There is the whole safeguarding and vetting issue to deal with and the role of volunteers so it’s a different model from other Slivers-of-Time markets. But we are used to working with fluid labour markets, so the technology is in place to do this.

“What we need now is a lead from central government and enough local authorities to be willing to go for it.”

TRIED AND TESTED: Simon Heng writes

Slivers-of-Time offers a consultancy service for local authorities to use in setting up local schemes. It does not offer a marketplace online itself.

The encouraging aspect of this website is that service users’ needs and vulnerabilities have been considered, and have clearly taken a pre-eminent part in the planning of a local market.

Take this statement, from its person-2-person section, for example: “Service users want a relationship with the person who provides support, not the organisation that employs them. Enabling those direct relationships is demanding. But it can expand local workforces and reshape local markets for support.”

Developer: Shiny Entertainment
Earthworm Jim was the quintessential platform game for the Genesis. It had everything you could ever want: Contra-style shoot-'em-up action, constant platform challenges, and sometimes both at the same time! Not only that, the storyline was completely bizarre. You fought villains known as the "Psy-Crow" and "Bob the Evil Goldfish" in order to save "Princess What's-Her-Name." The humor was magnificently snarky, the graphics were gorgeous, and the soundtrack was 16-bit bleep-bleep goodness. Plus, the sequel was just as good as the original—kinda like another series we love. And yes, we're talking about Weekend at Bernie's.

Triangulation homes in on rogue WLan access points

Foundry Networks has devised a way to restrict end-users from accessing certain parts of a wireless local area network.

Foundry Networks has devised a way to restrict end-users from accessing certain parts of a wireless local area network.

Although wireless access points use encryption to secure network traffic, access to the WLan is open to anyone with a valid log-in. Foundry Networks aims to control this access based on the physical location of the end-user.

The technology uses triangulation between three access points to determine the location of a WLan user to within five metres, said the company.

The technique can be used by IT managers to locate and eliminate rogue access points – a common security problem encountered on company networks due to the ease with which access points can be set up.

Wireless access is a growing threat to corporate security, because of the increased availability and use of wireless devices, said Forrester Research.

“Now that handhelds are able to roam on corporate or public Wi-Fi networks, attackers may try to use them as a ‘carrier’ to take malicious code inside an organisation,” the analyst company said in a recent paper.

The sheer number of devices, coupled with multiple network access points creates a multitude of threat vectors that will force many administrators to extend security beyond the enterprise network perimeter, said Forrester.

Foundry Networks said its technology is able to monitor and find unauthorised users and identify neighbouring WLans, which could be used to gain access to a corporate network.

It also supports multifloor deployments, enabling IT to vary the access to the network from different areas of a building. For instance, a car park area could provide highly restricted public access, while internally within offices users can access more of the network.

The technology is available in Foundry’s Ironpoint Wireless Location Manager. This provides real-time location mapping, aimed at giving users a cost-effective wireless threat protection system.

The system also supports the VoFi e911 coverage verification standard and includes technology called Virtual Shield, which provides location-based user admission control.

Benefits Of Blogging For Local Business Owners

Well, first things first. We are your trusted website content writers, blog content writers in Hyderabad, provide content for websites, blogs and for various other marketing needs such as brochures, flyers, e-books, whitepapers, social media optimization or for any other online or offline marketing needs. You can always count on us for the best-in-class website content writing services in Hyderabad, India.

Bloggers In Hyderabad

Blogging is not something new. It is an old marketing concept now. But, still, it is not as much popular among local business owners as it should be because we still see business owners trying to create business presence online without it (eventually end up with gaining nothing). I should say, if you are running your business online and you would like to get unbelievably the most dominating position in search engines, you will have to focus on blogging. Yes, only blogging can help your site rank higher in Google and other search engines. Besides this, it can help you get various other benefits.

With Continuous Blogging, Off-Page SEO May Not Always Be Needed

I should tell you this fact first. Yes, it is an established fact now. If you are blogging continuously, adding the blog posts at least, 3-4 times in a week, your site's position in search engines will start improving. Of course, here, off-page SEO may also be not required. You just need to share the new blog article or blog URL through your social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google and others. That is all. The position or the ranking of your site will automatically be improved. There are many SEO experts who suggest that a business site should have a blog.

A website with a blog which is continuously updated with fresh and unique content will make it much easier for the site to appear on first page of Google and other search engines. And those sites which do not have a blog or which don't get updated with fresh and relevant content may not reach first page of Google (no matter how strong off-page SEO is). That is the reason why we see some business owners complaining about poor ranking. They spend money on SEO with hope that their site will reach on top but their site just doesn't come up. It just gets stuck to page 4 or page 3 of the search results. The reason of it lies more or less in not adding the blog to the site.

With Addition Of Blog Posts Continuously, You Will Not Have To Spend More On SEO

If you are already spending a lot of money on optimization we suggest that you stop here and think of whether you are getting higher return on your investment or not. By implementing blogging as your marketing strategy, you will not have to spend money on SEO. Yes, you certainly do not have to. You can easily gain awesome ranking in search engines with addition of the most relevant blog posts to your blog (Which will be written as per the latest SEO and LSI Principles. All the posts will directly get linked to your sales pages and other landing pages).

Other Benefits Of Blogging

Apart from improvement in search engine rankings and bringing the site on first page of Google and other search engines, there are various other benefits blogging can fetch for businesses. With help from experienced and trusted blog writers in Hyderabad, bloggers in Hyderabad, for all your blog writing services in Hyderabad, blog content writing services in Hyderabad, India, you will be able to educate your customers more on services and products you provide. You can easily enhance communication levels with them, build rapport with them through interesting posts on blog.

Reported data breaches rise 1000 percent in five years

According to figures released by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) there were 821 reported data breaches in the UK in 2011-12, compared with 79 in 2007-08.

The rise in reported breaches is likely to be a combination of a more effective reporting regime combined with an upsurge in information security related attacks on organizations.

Commenting on the data breach figures, Christian Toon, head of information risk for Iron Mountain, Europe, told Continuity Central:

“With more organizations than ever before becoming accountable for data breaches, it is staggering that so many fail to treat their information with the care and respect it demands.

“Both public and private organizations need to know what information they are creating, collecting, processing and storing; where it is at any moment in time; who is accountable for it and what the plans are for secure storage and legally compliant destruction at the end of its journey.

“A 1000 percent rise in reported UK data breaches is shocking. Reducing this number in the next five will depend on staff. Managing information is not simply an IT or business process issue; it’s about culture and people. People produce most of your information, and it’s usually people who are going to lose or misuse it. Therefore, managing information must become a cultural issue starting at the top of the organization with every employee getting on board.”

  • Don’t leave regular carpets over frequently used areas, cover them with a rug

Vacuuming is essential, because it will pick-up all of the loose dirt and other particles that can collect in your carpet as time passes. The more you’re at your house, the more use your carpets get and as a result the more you need to vacuum it. At the very least, you should vacuum once or twice a week. As a parent, one of the most irritating things is when your children come in the house after running in the dirt and bring all that into the house. That can be difficult to clean as well. To prevent as much carpet damage as you can, put a throw rug over the carpeting on areas that many people including your children walk over. The throw rugs will take in all that foot traffic and grime. Also, remember to rotate your furniture around the room. This will bring the visitors to a different part of the room and allow you to clean where the home furniture used to be as well.

Have the knowledge ahead of time how to clean different spills and have all the cleaning supplies read so you can just grab them and get to the spot.

Windows Server 2016: Implications for Converged Solutions

The release of any new Microsoft server operating system is always an important milestone for the entire computer industry. Windows Server 2016 is no exception. For many organizations, upgrading to Windows Server 2016 will be a trigger event that defines how they deploy infrastructure today and in the future, ranging from data centers to remote and branch offices (ROBOs) and to the cloud.

The implications of converged systems as a deployment model for IT infrastructure are profound. Windows Server 2016 is designed to fully embrace convergence, with wide ranging enhancements to compute, networking and storage virtualization—along with systems management—that facilitate the path to the software-defined data center (SDDC) and enable organizations to seamlessly leverage cloud models.

By embracing the SDDC and the cloud in Windows Server 2016, Microsoft has made it simpler and more cost efficient for IT professionals to leverage converged systems in supporting small and remote offices, whether they deliver IT services locally, from a centralized data center or from a private, public or hybrid cloud. The benefits of converged systems for ROBOs in Windows 2016 environments include:

Enhanced agility: Converged infrastructures enable IT to deploy infrastructure more quickly to support the needs of ROBOs, as well as targeted teams such as software developers. With Windows Server 2016, IT teams can automate and secure ROBO infrastructure from a centralized location using a converged solution, and extend the infrastructure to the cloud on demand when needed. For more flexibility, IT teams can locally deploy a converged infrastructure, a hyperconverged infrastructure or a modular infrastructure solution that is designed to meet the specific requirements of small businesses and branch offices.

Simpler IT: One of the important benefits of converged solutions is that they simplify the processes involved in deploying, maintaining and scaling IT. IT teams can use a unified management platform to orchestrate and automate functions across compute, networking and storage. One of the enhancements in Windows Server 2016 that simplifies IT management for ROBOs is a toolset called Server management tools, which allows IT to manage Windows servers wherever they are, whether physical or virtual machines on premises or VMs hosted in the cloud.

Software-defined architectures: Converged infrastructures already leverage software-defined models, so many of the enhancements Microsoft has developed for Windows Server 2016 are well-suited for such infrastructures. An example is Storage Spaces Direct, a new feature that enables IT teams to build highly available storage systems using local storage. IT teams can support ROBOs by working with Dell EMC, so they can leverage converged infrastructure models rather than trying do-it-yourself approaches that can be complex and time-consuming to manage, particularly where there may not be properly trained local IT personnel on site.

A future-proofed infrastructure: In some ways, Microsoft Windows 2016 is following the path already blazed by companies that have developed the converged and hyperconverged infrastructure market, particularly Dell EMC. The design concepts around Microsoft Windows 2016 are built on the same foundation as the converged infrastructure model, specifically:

  • Building a software-defined foundation

  • Automating and securing the infrastructure

  • Having the capability to expand the infrastructure to the cloud

The Microsoft model, in fact, is quite similar to the Dell EMC Future-Ready Enterprise model, which is based on converged and tightly integrated infrastructure that is:

  • Workload ready

  • Virtual-infrastructure ready

  • Software defined

  • Cloud ready

  • Big data optimized

The release of Windows Server 2016 is, in many ways, an affirmation of the converged infrastructure model pioneered by Dell EMC because it embraces all of its key concepts, including virtualization as well as automation and orchestration across compute, networks and storage to support the evolution to a software-defined data center.

As IT decision-makers consider migrating to Windows Server 2016, one of the benefits to keep in mind is the ability to use Windows Server 2016 in combination with converged infrastructures to deliver IT services to ROBOs more efficiently. Advantages include simpler IT, enhanced agility and a future-proofed model that offers the flexibility to leverage infrastructure resources on premises, from a centralized data center or from the cloud.
