Multitouch floor would detect your heart attack

A future smart home will need a way to sense who its residents are and what they're doing. One way to do so may be through the floor.?

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently granted a patent to IBM for a security system that would turn a floor into a multitouch surface that recognizes who's standing on it. The floor senses different shapes and weights, so it would know the difference between adults, children and pets by weight and shape and number of feet on the floor. It has a database of registered identities to which it could match the shapes and weights it detects. Once it senses an unauthorized person standing on it, it can sound alarms or call the police, just like traditional house alarms. IBM received the patent, No. 8,138,882, on March 20.?

With the home security systems people have today, they can accidentally trip their own alarms if they forget to disarm them when they come home, IBM researchers wrote in their patent proposal. The new idea ensures that as long as people are registered in the system as an authorized person, they'll never trip their own security system. In fact, if the floor senses registered residents are home, it can turn on lights or unlock doors for them.

Besides monitoring unauthorized burglars from the outside, the floors are made to help the authorized people inside monitor each other, too. Because it knows the identities of everyone's feet, it can let a resident know when her spouse comes home. It might alert adults if a toddler wanders too near the pool or hot tub, or sound a high-pitched alarm if Fido sneaks into a room that's forbidden to him.?

It could recognize if someone were lying down on the floor, indicating she might be ill. A heartbeat sensor then checks her pulse. If she's in trouble, the system can call a caretaker or 911.?

Beyond knowing who's in the room, the system also knows how to count how many people and animals there are. Users could program in an action if the floor detects more people than a certain threshold number. In their patent proposal, the researchers suggested parents get a phone call if there are more than six people in the house while they're away, indicating their kid is throwing a party.

The company's long-term plans for the idea, if any, are unclear. "The newly-patented invention is not part of a product or solution and we can't speculate about if or how it will be implemented," IBM spokesman Christopher Andrews wrote to InnovationNewsDaily in an email. He declined to answer how far along researchers are in creating the system and how often IBM actually uses its granted patents. But because the description sounds as if it may be an essential piece to a smarter future home, people may see more of this patent in the coming years.?

Sequel to 'Kony 2012' video released

?

By Reuters

The group Invisible Children released a new video on Thursday as a follow-up to the viral "Kony 2012" film aimed at focusing global awareness on atrocities attributed to Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army.

"We want people to dig deeper into this conflict and actively engage in the solutions," Ben Keesey, CEO of Invisible Children, said in a statement announcing the new 20-minute video: "Kony 2012: Part II - Beyond Famous." He said the newest video is "a call to turn global awareness into informed action."


The sequel was originally supposed to air on April 3, but for an unknown reason the group pushed the release date back to April 5.

'KONY 2012' sequel postponed

The "Kony 2012" film became an Internet sensation last month, racking up more than 86 million hits on YouTube since it was posted. Its success has been hailed for inspiring young people to activism, but has been criticized for oversimplifying the long-standing human rights crisis in the region.

It also has put Invisible Children and Jason Russell, the organization's public face, in the spotlight.

That attention turned uncomfortable last month when Russell, the star and narrator of the first "Kony 2012" film, suffered a public meltdown in California that doctors described as a brief psychotic breakdown.

"We just thought it was going to be a lot harder to make people care," the organization's Director of Idea Development, Jedidiah Jenkins, told Reuters in an earlier interview. "Most 16-year-olds do not want to hear about warlords in Africa."

?The conflict is not limited to Uganda, but has long since spilled over into the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Kony was last sighted, and where other rebel groups and government forces have also been accused of atrocities.

The Lord's Resistance Army also operates in South Sudan and the Central African Republic.

"When you see something slick, when you see something that feels like propaganda, we're used to thinking that its selling something," Jenkins said. "You can sell something that is actually good and intelligent. It doesn't have to be a trick."

Invisible Children said the new film provided a more in-depth look at the Lord's Resistance Army and outlines regional efforts to end violence in central Africa.

"The LRA has abducted more than 50 people in central Africa since Kony 2012 was launched one month ago.

"Now we have the opportunity to work together as a global community to help solve this issue," said Jolly Okot, Invisible Children's Uganda Country Director.

On April 20, the group will sponsor a "Cover the Night" day of activism, in which supporters are expected to volunteer for five hours in their communities and promote the anti-Kony cause.

When choosing a tool that will help you manage social media for nonprofits, you need to choose one which is very comprehensive. Things you need to look for include keyword search capability, in-depth reporting, granular scheduling and contact management with tagging. Exactly why are these particular things essential?

If you take advantage of these kinds of tools, you will find that you can easily schedule posts while also checking any replies, mentions or messages that have come in. You will be kept informed all of the time. When you manage a nonprofit, the chances are your time is limited and you may find these tools help with keeping you on track. You are able to organize your donor lists and tag them to decide who your super donors are and things of this nature.

When you use the resources for nonprofits, you should ensure your social networking efforts blend seamlessly into the overall business plan. In order to do so, you want to choose a program that works with your current web and graphic design. This makes it much easier to ensure all work together to lessen your work load.

Social networking should make use of the same tools which you use for all of your communications with donors and supporters. Don?t overlook search engine optimization, quality content and items like this. When you use each one of these together consistently, your nonprofit will grow in ways you never imagined.

Grassroots.org provides free resources for nonprofits and charities that will allow them to increase their efficiency and productivity. Providing social media for nonprofits and non profit web design are just a few of the offered resources.

Kanye West: I fell in love with Kim Kardashian

Eric Ryan / Getty Images file

Kanye West, seen here with Kim Kardashian at Paris Fashion Week 2012, now admits he was in love with her.

By Us Weekly

Lovesick Kanye!

On Wednesday, Kanye West unexpectedly released a brand-new song online, "Theraflu,"and in between the 34-year-old rapper's typically over-the-top boasts and X-rated tangents, he made a surprising confession about his pal Kim Kardashian.

Looking back on his romance with ex Amber Rose, who is now engaged to Wiz Khalifa, West rapped, "Only n---- I got respect for is Wiz, And I admit I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him."

PHOTOS: Kim's less-than-awesome 2011

West then went on to make a catty reference to Kardashian's future ex-husband, NBA star Kris Humphries, who just happens to play for the New Jersey Nets, which is owned by West's good friend Jay-Z. "Well that's cool, baby girl, do your thing, lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team," he rapped, implying he could get Humphries, 27, fired from the team.

PHOTOS: Kim and Kris' hot-and-heavy honeymoon

Although they've never commented on a romance, West and Kardashian, 31, have been friends for years, and the "Otis" rapper filmed a cameo on "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" in summer 2010. They were spotted hanging out together during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year.

Great Advice On Marketing A Service Or Product Online | 1701host ...

Let your customers leave rating and reviews for other customers to see. With honest feedback, you can improve your product offerings. In addition, potential customers can buy with confidence after reading reviews written by others who have already purchased the items and have provided their opinions.

Make sure to have your signature, which includes a link for your site, at the bottom of everything that you write online. Your signature and link should appear in every post you make on any message board. All emails should have your website?s address in your signature. This is one way to spread the news about your website without overwhelming your contacts; it can also help your search engine rank. Don?t just include a link, instead start with a sentence which is enticing enough that the reader will want to click through to your website.

An excellent strategy for operating a profitable online business is to look at your competition. Peruse your competitors? websites, noting what they could be doing better. Emphasize services that your competitors? websites are lacking to help your website stand out and provide visitors with information they can?t get elsewhere.

Integrate links into your site which contain valuable keywords. Keeping people on your site is one of the most important things that a website owner can do, and you should link them to other relevant posts you may have made in the past. Internal linking to previous articles will keep visitors on your site which will increase your ranking on a search engine.

When you are making a website you need to take care with your content. Your goal should be to teach your potential customers exactly what you are selling so they understand what and why they should want to purchase your product. Do not use the same content or fill your site up with useless data that does not catch the fancy of the reader.

Your ordering system must be 100% secure. You should offer a secure payment method like Paypal so users will feel comfortable making transactions. Before giving you their personal and financial information, you should require users to create a password-protected account.

Try creating a web page for public relationships to help out your business?s marketing. On this page, you can include information that can be used in web magazines and e-journals. This is the best way to get the public to see your business and it can easily be done.

You may not realize it, but you already have the tools you need for a successful internet marketing enterprise. Fancy computer programs and overpriced get-rich-quick schemes can?t compare to a person with knowledge and the desire to get the job done. Be diligent, and think thoroughly about the marketing decisions that you make.

If your internet marketing plan is strong, you already have a good grasp on which products will bring you the most profit. These should be your mainstays in drawing future sales. Point customers towards accessories and other items that go with your best sellers. These complementary products are sold through your more popular products and may not require the same amount of advertising as completely unrelated products.

Get ready to start experimentation with your newly learned Internet marketing ideas. Do you think you can apply these tips to your company? Can you start improving your plan properly and smartly? If so, do it today!
