Niagara Falls, Ontario - Telephone Magic Inc. is pleased to announce it has added the Voyager line of long and ultra-long range cordless phones (http://www.telephonemagic.com/voyager-long-range-wireless-phone- systems.htm) to its very popular telecom equipment website at http://www.telephonemagic.com. This latest addition supplements the other long range cordless phone systems previously on the site (http://www.telephonemagic.com/longrangewireless.htm) and gives visitors a whole new way of expanding their existing business phone systems with a cordless phone extension.

Jeff Jackson, president of Telephone Magic Inc. states: “Long range cordless phones have come a long way in the past few years, and we’re happy to provide the Voyager line of wireless phones. While the North American models feature a range of 1-6 miles, international models have a range of up to 50 miles, making them ideal solutions for areas that are not serviced by cellular phone coverage.” Jackson continues “In addition to the long range, all Voyager phone systems are expandable to cover up to 9 lines and 90 handsets, making them a very attractive option for factory or greenhouse operations that need to keep in touch with their employees over a distance.”

“There are also several station-to-station models that enable companies to install a ‘virtual’ phone line to a remote location, without having to dig any wires or make any infrastructure changes. The phone signal is simply transmitted wirelessly from one location to another. There are companies and individuals using these systems now connecting buildings together that are 8 miles apart or more. It is these functions that make the Voyager line of long range cordless phones very attractive to the end user. This is truly the next generation of long range cordless phone technology and Telephone Magic is happy to once again be at the leading edge of telecom in this area.”

Telephone Magic Inc.’s website is considered one of the strongest business phone equipment sources on the Internet. Telephone Magic sells business telecom products at wholesale prices, which allows dealers and end users alike the opportunity to save money on the cutting edge telecom products they require.

According to Cutler, the author of the feature article, “In repetitive manufacturing you can apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques to purchased components and manufacturing quality as well as scrap and yield. Statistical analysis is acceptable if a company is mass purchasing or mass manufacturing the same product to the same standards every time. The essence of ETO is building a unique complex product every time. There may be components that are common from one machine to another, but not in the same quantity as a repetitive manufacturer.” Cutler profiles several Encompix ERP clients in the feature article. The September issue of Quality Insider produced by Quality Digest online profiles Engineer-to-Order manufacturing and a rundown of its different set of quality standards and tools.

The feature article can be found at www.trcutlerinc.com. In the increasingly competitive world of engineer-to-order and project-based manufacturing, companies have to operate at maximum efficiency to compete with not only domestic, but also the growing number of overseas competitors. The companies that will thrive in this environment are those that are continually looking for improvement.

Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled the manufacturing software requirements of Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992. The company name reflects the commitment to developing business application solutions that encompass the complex areas of project-based and job-based manufacturing.

What is the I-mode application ? I-mode is a mobile phone platform that currently offers internet access to 94000 websites as well as some specialized services such as banking, online shopping ,email ,ticket and hotel reservations. It began in 1999 and grew quickly to attract about 43 million subscribes by December 2004.I-mode is supported by the NTT DoCoMo network structure which not only provides access to I-mode applications but also to dedicated leased line services to provide added security for the mobile applications. Who are the I-mode users? The I-mode applications users are mainly found in Japan and are estimated to number 41 million users ,while in the rest of the world (mainly Europe) another 3 million I-mode subscribers exist. In addition to wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe, North America and Asia, the company is expanding its global reach through strategic alliances with mobile and multimedia service providers in Asia-Pacific and Europe. The operators are Services are currently available through eight I-mode operators outside Japan: BASE (Belgium), Bouygues Telecom (France), E-Plus (Germany), Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. (Taiwan), KPN Mobile (The Netherlands), Telefnica Mviles Espaa (Spain), WIND Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. (Italy), and COSMOTE - Mobile Telecommunications S.A. (Greece). The Australian operator Telstra Corporation Limited will join the i-mode alliance by the end of the year 2005. How does it work ? I-mode remains connected to the internet at all times as well as providing compatibility with existing websites which are converted from HTML to iHTML. through manual editing and simple conversions by an I-mode server. However the introduction of corporate conversion software and servers it has made the conversion process faster. The mobile phone user that is I-mode enabled can then view and access content through his phone’s browser as long as she/he are within the Network . How much does it cost ? The total costs of using I-mode in Japan is 105 yen for 3G FOMA World Wing handsets and 210 yen for those who are still on 2G technology. The communication costs are a flat monthly rate of 3,900 yen for subscribers to the basic monthly plans FOMA Plan 67, FOMA Plan 100 and FOMA Plan 150 which gives unlimited access the 3G FOMA® i-mode® mobile internet service and i-mode mail .This rate however does not cover other packet communications, such as browsing the web via devices connected to a DoCoMo 3G handset. Conclusion The I-mode mobile phone application is futuristic technology that will provide high flexibility, mobility while open up even more faster communication channels that will provide a platform for the provision of a wide range of services to mobile phone users. Its growth will lead to an increase in people accessing the internet from their mobile phones while creating new opportunities for business men and existing online companies to diversify their mobile phone products.

What about evolution creates such a fuss in our society? We do not see people getting exercised about Quantum Mechanics, String Theory or the Theory of Relativity. But mention evolution and you invoke an immediate and visceral reaction. Local school boards are elected, rejected and then re-elected solely on this issue. No other scientific discovery is so deeply embedded into the fabric of American politics.

The debate about intelligent design in public schools is a uniquely American phenomenon, a quirk of our history and culture. Beyond the theocracies of the Middle East, religion permeates American politics in a way not found anywhere else in the world. No other developed country, east or west, is host to a serious political movement dedicated to the destruction of secularism.

We have to go all the way back to Italy in 1614 to find another example of a powerful political machine dedicated to the suppression of a broad scientific truth with deep implications for human understanding. That is the year in which Galileo’s observations of the earth orbiting the sun were first denounced as a threat to the established authority of the Catholic Church, which claimed Galileo’s doctrine to be false and contrary to the divine and Holy Scripture. We have regressed four centuries. Intelligent design is nothing but a transparent fig leaf for creationism, a child of that dark era in the 1600s. Comparing creationism or intelligent design to evolution is no different than insisting that we teach today that the sun actually orbits the earth as an alternative theory to modern astronomy. Only in the United States are such discredited views taken seriously by a large portion of the citizenry. We can and should do better. Intelligent design has no place in a science classroom.

Nevertheless, the debate will inevitably continue: evolution strikes at the core of expanding religiosity deeper than other scientific truths such as the age of the earth because the conclusions are more personal. Imagine yourself back in that amazing year of 1859 when Charles Darwin published his masterpiece. The day before Darwin’s book was published, you woke up thinking yourself the image of God; the next morning you realize you have the face of a monkey. Not everybody immediately embraced this rude demotion. Resistance to the idea was inevitable, if not futile.

Sometimes the word “theory” associated with evolution is misunderstood to mean that the concept is not well established. Oddly, that burden is not shared by the Theory of Relativity. Einstein apparently hired a better publicist than Darwin, if not a better barber. Evolution is a fact, an undeniable, proven fact, as certain as the existence of atoms. Only some of the details of the mechanisms of evolution remain to be elucidated. Cancer is a fact, though not all the mechanisms leading to malignancy are understood. Theory does not imply uncertainty; instead, a grand idea, such as General Relativity or Evolution, can be well-established but remain under the rubric of a theory because the ideas encompass and explain a broad range of phenomena.

Complicating public acceptance of evolution as a scientific truth is the fact that society is still largely scientifically illiterate. Although understanding the basics of science is critical to everyday life in a technology-driven society, the subject is given only cursory treatment in most public schools. As a result, people are often poorly equipped to understand the complexities of an issue before forming an opinion about the costs and benefits of adopting or restricting a particular technology. The issue of therapeutic cloning offers a prime example. Religious bias and scientific illiteracy combine powerfully to restrict a technology with extraordinary potential for good, with little associated risk. The upside of therapeutic cloning could be cures for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and a host of other devastating diseases. There is no downside.

As religiosity has ascended in American life, policy debates have become faith-based rather than being anchored in logic. Support for a policy position becomes unmoved by contradictory facts because proponents simply “believe” the position to be correct even in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. That explains why 80% of Republicans still support the current president. Just as there is no way to determine relative validity between religions, or to diminish faith with facts, as soon as logic is removed from policy debates, competing positions are no longer evaluated based on relative merit, but are supported as inherently right, immune to any reasonable counter arguments. This slide away from secular debate leads increasingly to polarization, greater animosity and a loss of civility because the only way to support a position is simply to assert supremacy as loudly as possible. We are reduced to childlike tantrums of “I’m right, you’re wrong, I win.” Without logic, there is no common basis for discussion, and no way to mediate disputes. The death of secularism is the death of civility, and nothing demonstrates this more clearly than the debate about teaching science in schools free from religion.

Air has 750 times less density as the oceans, yet so many of the same principles apply there as well. We are quite familiar with marine life and the performance abilities of sharks, dolphins, penguins, fish, alligators, etc. Mankind is quite fascinated by marine life and often tries to use these observations to create devices to serve him.

A Great White Shark can swim 7 times as fast as the Olympic swimmers in Athens taking the gold this year, yet it is not even close to being the fastest in the water. Powerful, yes indeed, but the need for speed limits its abilities to catch some of its favorite meals. Luckily humans are not one of them, as much as JAWS I, II and III would have you believe. The Great White Shark swims at about 25 mph. Squids can move through the water at 20 mph. The Blue Shark has been clocked in short bursts at 43 mph yet its average cruising speed in open water is between 17.7 and 24.5 mph. The Make Short Fin can travel at 10 times its body length per second, which is quite fast and amounts to over 46 mph at top speed. It can accelerate at 45 feet per second/ per second, faster than a rock can fall or a human accelerates after he departs a perfectly good airplane in search for an adrenaline rush to achieve sense of purpose. A human can swim at 5.04 mph, but only for short distances and you have to be a Mark Spitz or Michael Phelps to it for very long.

As good as these super star athletes are, they are no match for evolution, without modification. You might be happy to know that a barracuda will catch you and nibble before a great white shark will catch you in open water, they can swim at 27 mph, one of the fastest, well and hungriest fish in the water. Mammal Sea Life is quite adapted; Sea Lion 25 mph, Common Dolphin 24.7, Gentoo Penguin 17, Blue Whale 29.76, Bottle Nose Dolphin 17 mph. Many of the fish eaten by the marine life of prey are also quite adapted for instance the Pacific Salmon can swim at 14 mph. Then there are the flying fish, those, which leap out of the water and become airborne, thus proving that there is a similarity between the two realms. The flying fish flies at 35 mph and has been known to fly right into a boat, for an easy catch. The Leaping Albacore Tuna leaps at 40 mph great sushi no doubt, the Yellow Fin Tuna at 46.35, the Sword Fish 60 mph and the Sail Fish at 68 mph. Here is a claim from Barbados that a flying fish was clocked at 55 mph?

Well maybe, but not if Hurricane Ivan has anything to say about it because if that fish pops out of the water it is liable to be doing some 135 mph within a few feet of leaving the waters surface and might be airborne for quite a while too? Now that would certainly be a new record.

Does this mean we might also wish to look at Fish and Sea Life Evolution in the aerodynamic designs of aircraft, UAVs, Blimps and Olympic Swim Gear? Yes, this is one of the points of this dialogue. Does this mean we should look at aviation designs for submarine, AUVs, ship hulls and underwater submersibles? Should we also be designing underwater bases for aircraft, spacecraft and double use vessels? Flying AUVs, which become UAVs? Designing flying torpedoes, Mechanical Fish and MAVs, which look like the flying fish photo too? Yes, it does. If you made a mechanical fish what good would it be? Hunting water mines, data relays, additional net-centric communication unit?

If nature can do these things, so can we and we have been constantly re-designing and bettering natures methods. If an eagle has 3-4 better times the eye sight and can see, react and adapt while in-flight that quickly, yet has less of a brain to coordinate all the data yet has also developed triple the reflex or response time, should we be looking into how this is done? For instance does an Eagle use some sort of visual frame bursting, for instance it knows the type of fish it likes to eat which tastes good and is the right weight and size and when it sees this it’s brain fills in the details and it’s eyes only focus on the slight variations of motion and detail so it knows where to pick it up at and how best to snatch it out of the water? We know that our brains use up about 45% of the brain capacity in visual cognition. What does the Eagle do with all the many flights and all that data for it’s memory, it cannot possibly store it all, does it have a Random Access Memory Data dump like when you windows computer crashes? Does it only save the frames and basic shapes and let the eyes fill in the rest of the details each time? We should test this as it is important to know.

We know the human brain can be fooled often enough when something appears to be close to something we are familiar with. What can we learn from these birds besides their aerodynamics. Is it possible to play optical tricks on an Eagle? For instance make a small AUV, which mimics a salmon fish? Will the Eagle be fooled by this? Old Eagle eyes, or will the Eagles excellent eye sight trigger another wave in it’s brain, as if to ask itself; “Hey something is fishy about that fish?” Would such a thought from an Eagle significantly activate it’s brain for a second look, before diving upon it’s prey? It appears in humans this does activate an additional brain wave.

Since Eagles do not flock are do they communicate and navigate, migrate using ELF, entangled brains with other eagles? Only their immediate families from the same mother or nest? This too would be of value for determining AI for robotic UAVs as part of the net centric warfare situation.

As we look at Artificial Intelligence models perhaps we should be looking at other species, which seem to be able to do more with less. Less brain capacity, yet still think. Perhaps we ought to dump the ego into thinking that mankind is the only animal which can reason and adapt on this Planet, we have significant proof of other animals here doing quite fine in the thinking region. If we open our minds we may find other species may in fact supercede our abilities in many aspects. Is the future of robotics going to the birds with regards to UAVs and MAVs as the needs of mankind and the competitiveness of the species looks towards innovation as the ultimate contest and in our speed to achieve we find ourselves bettering hundreds of thousands of years of evolution with breakthrough after break through?

Robots to really assist us must have some fuzzy logic capabilities at minimum and to be most effective they must also have some artificial intelligence capabilities to serve our needs, as mankind has no end in sight to the tasks it wishes to assign to robotic apparatuses.

Press-on will solve all that mankind desires. There are clues everywhere and one might ask what is taking us so long anyway, where would you like to go today? We need to ratchet up the thinking here and move forward in this arena.

With the intensity of development occurring in telly equipment in our day it really worthwhile to know several of the vital developments. This info to liquid crystal display televisions (LCD) concentrates on the specific benefits of the equipment. This insight provides you all the important facts on how to get the excellent picture & makes clear a number of the key traits to pay attention to when it comes to Liquid Crystal Display tellies.

There are currently two central advantages with Liquid Crystal Display tellies The first is that LCD tellies can perhaps be a significant deal easier to look at when compared against a traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) television. This is essentially because televisions screens are far brighter with a higher contrast & flicker free image. LCD tellies typically work excellently in almost any kind of environment lighting from bright to ambient. Next, Liquid Crystal Display tellies traditionally have a higher native resolution than plasma TVs of the identical dimension thus making them wonderful for hi-definition output. Even though plasma tellies are at presently superior for sheer display size, as more & more TV outputs come in hi-definition TV (HDTV), Liquid Crystal Display technology will be expected to come to the front.

How Do LCD Tellies Actually Work?

LCD equipment is pretty complicated & developing all the time. This technology is built upon the fact that liquid crystals are, in their daily shape, twisted. The aptitude of the crystals to permit light through can be altered by applying electric voltage. Very simply put, a light source is passed through a liquid holding crystals held between two polarised displays. By applying the precise amount of light to pass through, the wanted image is created.

All manner of on-line retailers, from the small one man bands to the large multi-national corporations, are offering large savings, discounts and loyalty bonuses to all on-line users. For any size of retailer the on-line community which awaits them is an attractive prospect which avoids the usual costs of running a business with a shop front. They can save on rent, commodities and staffing to deliver the same quality goods to the consumer.

As a result of this appealing market the internet has become bloated with companies who are vying for your attention. With this increased level of competition online retailers need to do whatever they can to get you to purchase from them and they will do whatever it takes to get to get you to their websites.

One of the methods they use to attract potential buyers is to create voucher codes, however these voucher codes and discount offers largely go unnoticed by the average internet consumer.

Through voucher sites, with direct links to these on-line retailers, you can find thousands of pounds worth of savings at the click of a button.

Life Coaching is a type of therapy that has become very familiar over the last 7 years. The term lifestyle coaching first became fashionable in the United States of America where, together with NLP aka Neuro Linguistic Programming, it became part of a new and improved incredible wave of greatly proactive therapy models.

In many ways both Success Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are a reaction against certain variants of the Humanistic movement, in particular Humanistic Counselling. A criticism of the humanistic and person centred approach is that it is astonishingly reactive and not very proactive. Although all that works spectacular with some folk, with other folk long periods of no exit in sight or low return for time and effort occur. Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are both humanistic in stance, spending time on improving a person?s smiles rather than looking into the minefields of childhood, as in traditional psychology. Their emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and problem solving.

Lifestyle coaching is not about telling the client what to do. This is a common misconception. Some performance coaches are pretty successful in their business careers and then make the change to coaching, thinking that they will at most be required to share their pearls of phenomenal wisdom with the customer. This is more like mentoring a person in a specific environment. Performance coaching is instead about life as a collective. Easily Achieve offers coaching to help you Boost Confidence.
