NASA To Begin Commercial Spaceflights Within 5 Years Under CCiCap Initiative


Under the Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) initiative, NASA has made a deal with the three companies that promises to launch commercial manned spacecrafts  within next five years. The NASA administration has invested $212.5 million in Sierra Nevada Corporation, $440 million in Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and $460 million in The Boeing Company. With this move, NASA will speed-up the entire design and development process of building commercial spacecrafts by outsourcing it to these companies and in-turn create high-paying jobs in Florida and across the country.
So, we will soon see NASA providing us with safe, cost-effective and reliable flights taking off from the International Space Station and traveling across the Low Earth Orbit. Within the next two years these companies will develop and test their integrated designs and make them ready for crewed orbital demonstration missions.
On the other hand, NASA is simultaneously working on a ‘crew capsule’ called the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) and a heavy-lift rocket under the name Space Launch System (SLS) that promises to take us beyond the low Earth orbit across the solar system. We are already getting goosebumps at the thought.

2012 BMW 3 Series Launched

Starting from a price of Rs 28.9 lakh for the base 320d Diesel model, the new sixth generation BMW 3 Series has grown in size as compared to its predecessor and offers all the bells and whistles you could expect from an entry level luxury car and more
At first glance the new 3 Series indeed adorns a prettier face featuring flatter headlights, with LED accents above the twin corona rings stretched all the way to the large kidney grille. It’s a complete shift in terms of design language from Bangle’s vision for the outgoing model. Moreover, unlike its current competition the new BMW 3 Series that has now been officially launched in the country is not merely a facelift but a completely new car and changes, upgrades and improvements are all across the board.

For starters, the BMW 328i petrol model comes fitted with a 2.0-litre engine that boasts of TwinPower Turbo. It develops 245PS @ 5,000rpm and a peak torque of 350Nm from as low down as 1,250rpm all the way up to 4,800rpm. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission the BMW 328i shoots from standstill to a hundred km/h in just 5.9 seconds, and offers a healthy fuel economy which tip toes around the company claimed 6.4 litres per 100 kilometers.

On the diesel front, the TwinPower Turbo 2.0-litre diesel unit has been further refined in order to offer an even more efficient outcome. It develops 184PS @ 4,000rpm and a very impressive 380Nm of torque between 1,750rpm and 2,750rpm. Also mated to an 8-speed gearbox it can complete a 0-100km/h sprint in a scant 7.5 seconds. With an average fuel consumption of just 4.5 litres for every 100 kilometers driven it’s no surprise that this diesel has such a strong fan following.

Unlike the earlier 3 Series the treatment to the dashboard on the new model is clean and uncluttered., and doesn’t have a double dome on the dash as the second dome which housed the multimedia screen has been replaced by a flat screen fitted on the hood.

Learn How to Write Good SEO Articles

It isn’t important why you’re writing, whether it’s for a personal website, your blog, or to promote your business. In the end, failing to optimize your writing for the search engines means that you’re missing out on a great deal of free traffic. Far too many Internet marketers and webmasters fail to focus on SEO articles, which means they are leaving money on the table. You don’t need to go to a lot of effort to write articles designed to get consistent attention and traffic from the search engines.
Use Acceptable Grammar in the Body: The articles that are written for marketing must have the correct grammar and sentence structure.
So, it is quite apparent you are going to weave your group of keywords into your articles, so you should at least get it done properly so that the search engines can give you good ranking for them. If you do not pay attention to your grammar, then this will wreck havoc with your whole SEO process. If you are interlacing keywords into your article, then ensure that the sentence has the correct sentence structure and grammar. Do not simply place keywords into your articles in random locations.
Use Proper Grammar in the Title: Search engines put a lot of emphasis on the title of the webpage. This is because that’s the first thing an user sees when they search for a particular keyword and come across a website.
If your title does not have the correct grammar, then it will obviously give the wrong impression to the people that find your website via the search engines. Even if you do end up getting ranked for this particular keyword, your visitor count will decrease because of this one stupid mistake. So be certain your title has the correct grammar.
Do Not Use Incorrectly Spelled Keywords: There is a pattern going around in which many article marketers are doing in which they put incorrectly spelled keywords in articles to get ranked. The truth of the matter is that you will not gain a lot of traffic with an incorrectly spelled word.
Besides, it lowers the basic quality of the article and makes it seem like an amateur did it. Who would want to waste their time with an article that had a lot of misspelled words in it? You know what you were attempting to accomplish, but the reader does not. So they will just skip your article and do another search for the right keyword.
Now that you know what you need to do to properly focus your articles for SEO it’s time to focus on attracting the right audience. Having your articles ranked in the search engines will give you extra exposure and get your articles to spread around. The effort you put into become an expert quality SEO writer will pay off very well for you in the end. Most of the writers who are having a hard time driving traffic to their sites are struggling because of poor efforts at SEO.

Go Green with Moxia USBCELL AA Batteries

We can’t deny the fact that batteries are very important to us, because most of the handheld gadgets today are powered by batteries whether it is rechargeable or uses disposable ones still the point is they need batteries to operate. If you are into green movement, then purchasing a pair of Moxia’s USBCELL AA Batteries can help with the environment.
When the caps are closed, these NiMH rechargeable batteries act like a standard AA’s out there which will fit into all your every day uses, providing power for both high-drain (digital cameras) and low-drain (wireless mice, game controllers) devices. Good thing about this stuff – you don’t need to buy separate charger, it can be easily charge by flipping the cap open and plugging it on a USB port, cool isn’t?
Keeping track of how long they need to charge is actually pretty simple. There is a ring around the USB plug that lights up to tell you what’s going on. If it’s solid, then it’s still working on the initial 90% charge. If the light is pulsing, then it is trickle-charging the last 10%. If there is no light, then it has a full charge.

Cisco Systems: All Set to Launch a New Product!

Cisco Systems Inc., a well known IT company, has announced the launch of a new product – an Aggregation Services Router (A.S.R.) 5500. With this move, it hopes to make huge revenues as it is an imperative technology that will help to drive Internet usage effectively.
Cisco is the manufacturer of Internet protocol based networking products for the information technology market. It offers a range of solutions for transporting data, voice and video within buildings. Cisco aims to transform ways in which people communicate, connect and collaborate by developing faster and easier technologies.
Aggregation Services Router 5500 will be deployed by telephone companies and similar service providers to offer Internet access to mobile users. ASR can easily moves terabits of data to tablets and mobiles. The company is betting high on this one as the amount of Internet being used now-a-days is ever increasing.

These statistics have all reasons to be real as three 3 ago only 2 percent adults in the US owned hand-held digital devices. The figure is today up to 29 percent.
A.S.R. 5500 is a better product as it has been designed to overcome the drawbacks of old technology used for transmitting data. Cisco’s previous technique was crippling due to heavy usage of data and tiny bits of information lying between the application and network. The new machine shall fix this by managing applications differently than the usual method.
This strategic box, i.e. ASR 5500, will hit the market with two  giant customers, Bharti of India and Verizon Wireless. Apart from bringing good returns, this step is likely to help Cisco in fighting the existing competition with companies like Hewlett-Packard, Arista and Nicira.

How to Get Rid of the Slow Internet Browsing!

While I was writing my last post on the top 5 qualities which can generate quality content, I was doing the research before writing it, and then I realized the system on which I was working was too slow. Actually the system was not that much slow, rather the internet browsing was too slow.
Many of my friends too complaint the same that surfing the net on their systems is really bad and they feel that their system is too slow. Actually many of us who uses the internet, feels that their system is too slow, just because their internet browsing is slow.
Sometimes we feel that internet browsing is slow because of the internet service provider. Frankly speaking I realized that I should write down my own experience related to this slowness. Frankly I can tell you all that the slowness of the internet browsing might not be because of the internet service provider, rather it can happen because of many other reasons too like due to the storage of the temporary files on the system and might be due to the toolbars, add-ons, and extensions loaded with your web browser.
Actually while surfing the net we don’t realize that our browsers store some temporary files on our system, which gradually increases with the more website we surf and with time. These temporary files slow down your system and internet browsing with time. Normally what I do to rectify this problem is that whenever I open the system I use to clear all the temporary files stored with my user profile. It helps me to get good speed while surfing the net.
Apart from that I use to do clear history of my browsers on a daily basis too. It helps to clear many temporary files. Actually I use to set the automatic settings which clear the history, once I close the browser. But, many a times I use to do it manually too, so that it does not leave any data on my system, which can increase the load of the system and slow down the net surfing.
Other than the above mentioned stuffs, there is one more thing which harms the internet browsing speed of your system, and it is lots of toolbars, add-ons and extensions installed with your browsers. One day I went to one cyber café for some work and I found that the top portion of the browser was loaded with too many things. Net surfing on that particular system was too bad and that experience was not at all memorable.
Frankly, these toolbars, extensions and add-ons do not only slow down your internet browsing speed, rather they are also a source of malicious attack on your system. Some of the toolbars are too week as far as security of your PC is concerned, and they unknowingly allow malicious software to creep onto your PC.
It is always a threat for your PC. Actually all these toolbars, add-ons and extensions are one kind of software’s which is not that much secure. They actually reduce the display area for web pages on your browser. Other than slowing your browsing speed they also display annoying and unsolicited information too.
Frankly speaking it is my suggestions that do not install any free toolbar offered by many websites, unless you are sure that it is safe and required for your system. Many of the toolbars are used as a hijacker too, which can hijack many important data from your system and harm you too.
That will be all for today my dear friends, I will be back on tomorrow with something more useful and related to blogging tips.

New Age Broadband for Switched on Businesses

There are always promises being made about faster broadband rolling out to encompass larger swathes of the business community, but for many firms the reality is that a lot of campaigning and patience is required before telecoms firms acquiesce to your requests for high-speed connectivity.
The good news is that FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) technology is becoming more prevalent across the country and it is good for both those who have to invest in the network infrastructure and the businesses it will benefit.
FTTC is new-age broadband for switched on businesses and it offers a multitude of benefits over traditional DSL and ADSL. It even trumps full FTTP (fibre to the property) connections in several areas, so it should never feel as if it is a technology introduced as a compromise.
FTTC works by running those all-important fibre-optic cables to street-level cabinets. From these cabinets, the broadband signal is then transported over the short remaining distance to your property through a copper landline connection, which you will already have in place.
Because fibre-optic cabling is doing most of the work delivering the signal and sending data in both directions, you will not encounter many of the issues associated with traditional broadband services delivered over a landline connection. That means little or no speed degradation over the length of the line, so real-life download and upload rates will come closer to matching the advertised maximums.
While copper connections are easily trumped by FTTC, the main benefit when compared with full FTTP, which runs cables into each and every property, is lower costs. Because the cabling must be buried underground it can be expensive and time consuming to take the FTTP route. But with FTTC there is far less work that needs to be carried out during installation, which means less investment is needed and there will be reduced disruption in your local area.
FTTC is made even more attractive to telecoms firms and investors because it gives them something new to sell to business buyers, with higher speeds and connectivity available across wider areas being made available with much lower upfront costs.
Of course, this type of technology on its own is not enough to revolutionise the way your enterprise operates. Rather it is the services that are made available through a fast FTTC connection that can really highlight why businesses will benefit from increased speeds.
Few firms will be unaware of the growing rate of cloud-computing adoption across the country and the world. Cloud computing can be integrated into a business in a number of ways, allowing you to outsource all of your data storage and processing requirements while also giving you the option to take a more incremental approach.
The cloud will be largely useless to a company if it is unable to access the broadband infrastructure at a decent speed, but with the roll out of FTTC it will be far easier for businesses to harness the power of the various services on offer.
VoIP is another type of contemporary service which will be better appreciated by businesses with a FTTC connection. Being able to make calls via the web, with advanced routing, recording and analysis as well, will be a real bonus for any company that wants to communicate and grow. But it is only with high-speed broadband that the true potential of VoIP services becomes unlocked.
While FTTC is not the endgame for business broadband, it is certainly the next-generation boost that many companies need to get their foot on the ladder of new, more advanced platforms which might otherwise remain out of their grasp.
Daisy Group plc are a dedicated business to business provider of communication infastructures to Uk Businesses. With a range of networking solutions including Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) SDSL, leased lines ethernet and business broadband packages  providing business users with a choice of solutions designed to meet their individual requirements.
