Video shared by the BBC showed locals bringing the dog water as they prepared to remove it from the hole. According to ITV the locals dug and drilled a hole around the trapped dog and were ultimately able to set it free. Locals nicknamed the dog Nikki and allowed her to run free after she was lifted from the hole with no reported injuries. Parenting...Protect Your Kid's Identity (NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - Much has been made about protecting your digital footprint lately. (Thank you, Apple and the FBI, for bringing this issue center stage). And, according to tech experts who follow such trends, it would seem that many people are starting to pay attention -- especially when it comes to protecting their children's privacy using encrypted communications.
The argument against encryption goes like this: it allows those who exploit children to "go dark." While that is true, encryption is also a powerful tool that can help protect children from those same predators, as well as bullies and others who want to harm your kids. In short, encryption is not just for privacy and security, but also for personal safety as well as peace of mind. Think of it this way: your phone and other digital devices contain almost all of your personal information -- your current and previous locations, your home address, information about your family and friends, records of your calls and texts, email messages, and every website you've ever visited. This means that all that information is up for grabs. And in the wrong hands, it can also endanger your children. The good news is that protecting and encrypting your kids' information has never been easier or more cost-efficient. The Gabriel app, available at the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, was designed and built with personal privacy and security as its foundation by VirnetX, an Internet security software and technology company. For only $50 per year for five users (that's only $4.17 per month), you can be assured that your children's communications -- when they talk, video, chat, text, email, or share photos or documents -- are safe and secure. No one will be able to see, hear, or intercept your kids' communications other than the parties they are in contact with because Gabriel does not transmit or store its data with any third party -- not even VirnetX. It is person-to-person, end-to-end encryption that all but eliminates opportunities for hackers. Other benefits include: * Making free voice or video calls or sending IMs (instant messages) to other Gabriel members. * Receiving spamless email. * Sharing pictures or files that are immune to interception. For more information, or to download Gabriel, please visit www.gabrielsecure.com.
Family...Movie Magic Home for the Whole Family(NewsUSA) - - From 3-D technology to bold, bright visuals, animated movies continue to get better with time and this upcoming season is no exception. If you're a fan of animated films starring a new collection of fun, colorful characters for the whole family, there are now more ways than ever to bring your next magical movie experience home after the final credits roll.
* Storybook Lane: If bedtime stories are a nightly ritual in your home, get the little ones involved by creating a storybook station in your living room. When you get home from the movie theater, channel your kids' excitement over the movie into a creative and educational exercise. Developing homemade storybooks based on their favorite movie characters with added storylines that incorporate their own imagination is a great way to bring the magic of an animated movie home, while encouraging kids to think outside the box and practice writing and artistic skills. Type up and print out their dream story while they act as illustrator to their own personalized story for added fun. * Mom Time: Animated movie fun isn't just for kids anymore. If you're looking for a new favorite online game to help liven up downtime, look no further than games inspired by some of your favorite animated movies. Online games such as "Sandwich Factory," inspired by Warner Brother's new movie, Storks, and the family-owned deli meat company, Land O'Frost, are a great way to have more fun with your favorite movies in the comfort of your own home. The game will transport you into an interactive sandwich factory with movie characters: Junior, who appears to "save babies," and Tulip, who grabs the finished meal from the sandwich maker. * Chef Corner: Get your kids involved in the kitchen by turning lunchtime into a movie experience. When excitement over a new movie is at its peak, encourage kids to put their chef's hat on and come up with a custom menu inspired by their favorite characters. Once the menu is set, host a lunch for the whole families where the kids get to play king and queen of the kitchen and share their creation with mom and dad. To play the "Sandwich Factory," visit www.landofrost.com/storks-game, and for coupons and more information about Land O' Frost, visit www.landofrost.com.
