Amazing Elephant Painting

ORIGINAL Elephant Painting

Watch this elephant paint a beautiful image of an elephant holding a flower. You'll be amazed at how her talent unfolds as she carefully completes each stroke. Her mahout talks to her throughout the process as his gentle touch gives her confidence. She focuses on her work and seems to enjoy the approval of the audience and, of course, the sugar cane and banana treats. All of her training has been reward based.

So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, "Starving Elephant Artisans" by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand. Own a print of the art for $15.

Some Thai elephant experts believe that the survival of the Asian elephant species will most likely depend on the good treatment of the elephants in well managed privately owned elephant camps. All of us would prefer that all of the elephants be free to be in the wild. For many reasons, that is not possible at this time.

A: No, update to 5.0.1

Q: when is iPhone 4S or iPad 2 jailbreak coming? why is it taking so long?

Q: What's the difference between Corona and Redsn0w?
A: you can't get Corona unless you have cydia, which means you need to use redsn0w to jailbreak it. Corona is a patch used for those who still have the previous TETHERED jailbreak.

Q: I heard about the baseband thing, what's up?
A: Don't worry about updating your baseband unless you are relaying your phone's service on ultrasn0w or geveysim at the moment.

Q: What's the best way to upgrade to 5.0.1 without upgrading baseband?
A: Use Redsn0w's Custom ISPW creator, then update your iOS in itunes. Check this video on a concept of how it's done.

A: Check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrQloDbjZHk for more information

Q: How do I downgrade my iPhone 4 baseband so I can use the unlock?
A: You can't at the moment, that's why it's important you don't update it ONLY if you relay on it. Most people are already on a high baseband so there is no point of preserving it.

Q: OMG WTF HAPPENED OAUSHD*@H)*@E@YE(@*Y IT FROzED!!
A: calm down! be patient and if it doesn't work out, try another USB slot or try another computer. If your phone is frozen or in a boot loop all you have to do is ENTER DFU again, then restore to iOS 5.0.1 again. Your phone can't brick from jailbreaking unless you throw it on the ground of frustration.

Origami Christmas Tree

Origami Holiday Tree 2011

On the morning of Monday, 21 November 2011, the Origami Holiday Tree was lit in the first-floor Grand Gallery by the 77th Street exit. The display pays tribute to some of the Museum's "biggest and best" displays, with ornaments that include a blue whale, highlights from The World's Largest Dinosaurs, and a space shuttle as a nod to the Museum's latest special exhibition, Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration.

Celebrating sheer size and scope, these origami models represent some of the largest natural and cultural exhibits on display throughout the Museum. Watch the video or flip through the slideshow below to preview a few of the ornaments. The tree is on view now until Monday, January 2.

Whales Give Dolphins a Lift

Science Bulletins: Whales Give Dolphins a Lift

Many species interact in the wild, most often as predator and prey. But recent encounters between humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins reveal a playful side to interspecies interaction. In two different locations in Hawaii, scientists watched as dolphins "rode" the heads of whales: the whales lifted the dolphins up and out of the water, and then the dolphins slid back down. The two species seemed to cooperate in the activity, and neither displayed signs of aggression or distress. Whales and dolphins in Hawaiian waters often interact, but playful social activity such as this is extremely rare between species. The latest Bio Bulletin from the Museum's Science Bulletins program presents the first recorded examples of this type of behavior. Visitors to AMNH may view the video in the Hall of Biodiversity until February 9, 2012.

Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History. Find out more about Science Bulletins at http://www.amnh.org/sciencebulletins/.
