We live in a world eager for new resources of energy. But despite the huge progress and development of green energy and renewable resources, we did not yet reach the goal of good fossil fuels replacements.
There are several directions of research for new energy sources, but all of them cannot supply enough energy to make a real change. The real “green” resources are wind, waves, hydro and geothermal power, which are good resources, but certainly not sufficient to supply the demands.
The more promising sources of energy are:
1.Solar energy – which is for now very inefficient and expensive.
2. Hydrogen - which is hard to produce right now.
3. biofuels – that can compromise our food supply.
The question is – what is the most promising? – in what resource we should invest?
Before we all start to walk in the solar power road, we first must understand that for now, biofuels are the real solar power supply.
why is that? well, our solar harvesting devices are very insufficient comparing to engines using fossil fuels. but from where these fuels came from? well, these fuels come from ancient plants and animals that were much more efficient in term of harvesting the sun’s energy. I am talking about photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is one of the most efficient processes on earth, maybe the most competent. Cyanobacteria, algae and plants can use almost 100% of the sun’s energy to produce chemical energy. nearly hundred percents of the light captured buy the photosynthesis apparatus, is transformed to electric currents and then to chmical energy stored in sugars and fats. these sugars and fats turn to be our fuels millions of years later.
But today’s plats and algae can still produce this solar energy as good as they did millions of years ago, and we use this energy in our foods to maintain our lives. Agriculture was the driving force that first let humans to control this enormous energy supply, and probably was the main trigger for the development of the human society.
In order the satisfy the ever growing demand for energy in the modern and post-modern society, we must increase a little beat our agricultural skills. Why we need to re-invent new ways to harvest the sun’s fruit, when evolution already sis it for us, and created an amazing machinery in plants?
The real goal of the people who seek for new energy sources should be dramatically increasing the yield of the agricultural production, in order to be able to use plants sugars and fats to produce ethanol, biodiesel and other bio-fuels to use in the modern industry and transportation.
Let change our investments from traditional engineering approaches to bio-engineering, guiding our research toward more proficient production of biodiesel and ethanol, the easily accessible solar power.

Edge - Wifi Use on Your Iphone - How and Why?
So the iPhone works on EDGE networks. But what does this mean and is it good enough?
The iPhone has been designed to work on GPRS, EDGE and Wi-Fi networks but doesn't include 3G support. Apple has stated this has to do with the power requirements of the 3G chip.
EDGE provides higher download speeds than the 2G network and GPRS (2.5G) but less than what can be achieved with Wi-Fi and 3G. and it has been labeled 2.75G.
The coverage of the EDGE networks around the world is very sparse, some places only 10s of percent actually. And that is disappointing numbers and not good news for the users of iPhone.
Trying to talk up the iPhone's Wi-Fi compatibility and its deals for free hotspot are not doing the trick either.
EDGE is the existing standard for GSM data networks. GSM is a direct rival to CDMA. In the US, Cingular is the largest GSM provider.
EDGE offers service rated at about quarter Mb/sec. That's about twice the speed of ISDN (.128 MB/sec), but significantly slower than even the slowest offerings of DSL (.3 to 1.5 Mb/sec), and a fraction of the throughput of 802.11b WiFi (typical: 6.5 Mb/sec).
EDGE is far faster than GPRS or old dialup networks however (both are about .03 Mb/sec), so while EDGE not capable of supporting iChat style video conferencing, it is useful enough to browse web pages, receive HTML emails, and support the other web service features demonstrated on the iPhone such as Google Maps.
EDGE is also widely deployed in the US. Newer generation technologies, including HSUPA and EVDO, are not. If the iPhone supported newer networks at launch, it would offer users less data service coverage at higher service fees. HSUPA does promise a future path for faster data, and will no doubt unlock new applications for future phones.
Along with the confusing acronym soup of HSDPA and HSOPA, HPUPA competes against other mobile 3G standards. Wikipedia says the next set of standards are edging out existing CDMA2000 and EVDO rollouts in some markets.
In addition to the factors of availability and cost, another reason for Apple going with EDGE rather than a faster network is that the iPhone won't have to rely solely on mobile phone networks for data. It's designed to use WiFi wherever it’s available.
WiFi is far faster than any mobile networks now in place, including EVDO and HSUPA (2.5 - 5.76 Mb/sec). Typical 802.11b and g offer 6.5 Mb/sec and 20 Mb/sec transfers. WiFi is so much faster because it is designed to serve a much smaller range of local service.
For iPhone users in a school, home, or office with existing WiFi service, automatic use of WiFi for data service will not only be far faster, but far cheaper: free in many cases.
Getting EDGE to work on your iPhone is simple, but require some knowledge about application set up in your iPhone.
You will need iBrickr to browse the file system of your iPhone (www.ibrikr.com)
There is a video turorial available for iBrickr if you want to learn how to use this system (www.i4u.com/article11028.html)
Once you have downloaded the iBrickr and the PXL files installed on your iPHone, you can launch iBrickr.exe. You will be able to see the main interface and click on files to browse your phone file system.
Locate your /private/var/root
Launch notepad and paste this code;
Function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
If (isInNet (myIpAddress(), “10.0.0.0”,
“255.0.0.0”))
Return “PROXY 216.155.165.50:808”;
Else
Return “DIRECT”
}
Save the file as proxy.pac and upload it to /private/var/root
Right click this file and select “save link as”, you need to save the file as
Preference.plist, you will then upload preference.plist into the following iPhone directory:
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
NOTE! If you are on firmware 1.1.3, upload the preferences.plist to this directory;
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration
This will overwrite the current file that is already in that directory.
Now grab your iPhone and tap settings – General – Network – EDGE. The APN you will use is wap.voicestream.com, username and password will be guest. Reboot your iPhone and there you are, you should be able to browsw online using EDGE.
NB! After performing this hack you will notice that EDGE will interfere with your WIFI connections whenever it sees it. IF this happens to you, there is a solution for this as well.
Click on the Browse Application button, this will launch a list of 3rd party applications you can install at your will. For our purpose we will install an application called Services. Basically what this does is allow you to turn off the WiFi, Bluetooth and EDGE according to your needs.
Once you are done with the installation, iPhone will reboot and on your Springboard you should see a Services icon, tap on the icon and here you can toggle between EDGE and WiFi connection.

Home Security System
The amount of burglaries and property violations are constantly rising consequently an alarm monitoring system might be a great solution to prevent thefts. Recent investigation has proven that owning a home security system makes you 4 times less probable to be burglarized. Who knows, possibly buying a home alarm system could even save your life. Over and over thieves and burglars favor robbing a home without a home alarm system than a house that has one installed.
What would a home security system do? Well it would monitor a home 24 hours each day, and if something weird occurs, it broadcasts an alarm signal through the phone line. After the evidence is received, a telephone call is made to your home to see if everything is alright, and if no person answers or the incorrect password is provided then the local police is alarmed.
Setting a home alarm system up takes just one hour, and then it will operate for months. It should be checked out every so often however in order to ensure the whole thing works just okay. In case a power failure occurs, the home security systems are supplied with a battery that can keep them working for 24 hours.
If you decide to acquire a home alarm system you should also follow several easy security rules. If you do so you can be certain that the chances that your house becomes the 'victim' of a burglary will be noticeably decreased.
First of all you should always secure your windows and doors, because these are the places through which burglars enter the house. Their locks must be strong.
Also, you should try not to keep things that may catch the attention of burglars outside, in order not to turn your house into a target.
It is be advised to attempt to let people realize that you own a home alarm system.
Additionally, there are a number of other small stuff that could keep burglars away - continuously have outside lights turned on, so that burglars can't use darkness to hide, get a guard dog to watch over your garden, and ask a neighbor to watch over your house while you are elsewhere.
But the home security system remains the best method to keep burglars away. It is a small investment that protects all the valuables inside the house.

GPS on the Iphone - Navigation is Now Possible on the Iphone - However You Can Wait for Firmware 2.0 as Well to Get an Apple Solution
Apple has promised a real GPS solution to the iPhone during 2008 in the iPhone 2.0 version firmware release.
This is supposedly a solution provided together with globalmap and googlemap.
In the meantime there will pop up so many various solutions, it will be up to you to decide what solution you want.
Here is a hardware solution to come during 2008
http://www.gomite.com/
Mexens Technology, with its virtual Navizon GPS system has finally arrived for the iPhone. The program still utilizes "WiFi and cellular tower triangulation techniques," but according to the firm's CEO, "this is just as if the iPhone were equipped with a GPS chip."
Of course, I am still doubtful that this peer-to-peer location approach works just as good as a bonafide GPS receiver, but considering that you won't be forced to pay the $24.99 purchase price until after 15 days are up, why not give it a go and find out?
And in addition it will take only seconds to find location, as for more robust solutions it will take maybe minutes to locate on the iPhone.
However, if it is long distance between towers, the accuracy will be less of course. So do not plan to use it for geotracking or something like this.
http://www.navizon.com
The navizon has come back with good reviews, it has a free one, and a paid version. The paid version is more accurate and has more features (of course).
Another solution is this hardware solution to put on end of the iPhone.
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/12/17/gps-dongle-coming-for-iphone/
Best of luck with your navigation, and hopefully you will find yourself in the right spot at the right time. And PS! Maybe you will be able to remember where you were some time ago, equally good as your authorities has the ability to find out were you were.

Technologies In Rolling Sheet Metal To Ensure Quality Control
Steel in its basic slab form requires rolling processes to enable its formation into sheet metal form. Once in this form it can receive more rolling to alter its thickness further.
First, as an overview, there are two types of rolling performed on basic steel. One is flat rolling the other is profile rolling. These two types produce final products that differ greatly from each other. In both processes, steel passes through a set, or sets, of rollers.
One product from flat rolling is sheet or strip metal. Another product from this type of rolling is plate steel; of a thickness 3/8" or greater.
Profile rolling produces a final product of a rounded rolled shape. This could be a round rod, a tank, a pipe, or a cylinder.
Rolling of sheet metal is the bending continually of the piece along a linear axis. This causes alteration of the original form of the sheet; it becomes deformed. The material receives progressive shaping and contouring as it passes through a pathway of rollers.
This product, steel now in a thinner flat state, is part of our everyday life. From the outside metal of your car, to the roof above your head, its uses are varied. To get sheet metal to this state, roll forming takes place upon it. Different roll forming machines prepare this material for the different products it will comprise.
Modern machines that handle the forming minimize the actual human handling of the metal. A new consideration to manufacturers today is the minimizing of downtime from the set-up of these machines. There are different sizes and types of sheets that require manipulation. A machine that can handle these different types with minimum set-up time for each is valuable.
From a technology standpoint, sheet metal fabricators look for versatility in fabricating machinery. They want machines that can form continuously, dependably and fast. They want high output for efficiency.
They do not want to spend inordinate amounts of time in set-up, preferring pre-tooled systems. This way they can run through different types and sizes of sheet metal on one machine. They want machines that can handle a changeover quickly so excessive downtime is not an issue. Advanced machinery that can handle different roll widths with quick re-tooling are desired.
Improved automation of the fabrication process is one contributor to reducing downtime. Today's sheet metal fabricating machines can utilize more than one tooling set. These separate tooling sets can run alongside each other with different cut-offs and form presses. That's a great example of retooling time eliminated.
Another important consideration, in forming parts or pieces, is the elimination of poor quality pieces. Poor quality pieces become scrap, which means salable output is less and costs are greater. Technologically advanced machinery, which produces accurate, quality work, will keep a company profitable. State-of-the-art metal forming processes produce work within required specifications. They also maintain the integrity of the material.
Any forming machinery that can increase production serves a company well. A system that minimizes inventory usage through scrap reduction is beneficial to the profit picture. Today's manufacturers want sheet metal forming systems that offer both.

Rackmount Computer Keyboards
The other piece of vital equipment to accompany the rack mount computers and the monitors are the rack mount computer keyboards. Rackmount computer keyboards are built with durability and reliability in mind.
Most keyboards in home systems get attacked by cookie crumbs, soft drinks, children’s sticky fingers and a whole host of other awful things and yet, for the most part, they keep on functioning. But they’ll break down soon enough in the desert or on a glacier because they’re not made to withstand those harsh environments. The keyboards must be made of materials that will not rust or corrode, will not malfunction in extreme heat or cold and will continue to operate no matter what the workload.
Rack mount computer keyboards are manufactured with two things in mind -- easy compatibility with the rack mount system and durability of the keyboard itself. Essentially, manufacturers chose the finest keyboard on the market and adapted it to conform easily to the requirements of rack mount computer systems. Made to slide into the rack mounts they fit easily into any 19-inch standard rack. The keyboard of choice became the Qtronix, which has become the gold standard of rack mount computer keyboards. Manufactured to the highest standards available, the Qtronix is made to operate without failure under extreme circumstances.
Because of high user demand for rack mount computer systems, monitors and keyboards, the industry prides itself on quality manufacturing. There is no higher standard to achieve than to be recognized by the US military as a supplier of top quality products that soldiers in combat situations can depend on, explorers in the Artic can rely on and that any other user of these products can absolutely depend on.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Notebook PC Review
In this Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Notebook PC Review "The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is an ultra-portable 13.3? widescreen thin-and-light notebook. Touting a thickness of less than 1-inch, 0.73” at its thinnest, the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 still packs a full list of features. The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is a prime example that ultra-portable notebooks can be fully functional and still reap all benefits that an ultra-portable form factor brings. First and foremost, it’s a ThinkPad, renown for quality, reliability and legendary performance.
Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Notebook PC Review taken from laptopmag"Both the MacBook Air and the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 push the envelope of the newest generation of ultraportables. And where the MacBook Air is more revolutionary, delivering an amazingly thin design but requiring users to adjust how they work, the ThinkPad is more evolutionary, delivering all the features users have come to expect (and adding a few they didn’t) in a scaled-down but still familiar package. You’ll pay a premium for the X300 (our configuration comes in at just under $3,000), but if a no-compromise notebook is what you need and shaving every ounce and millimeter counts, you won’t be disappointed.
The ThinkPad X300’s build quality is first-class and shows improvement over previous ThinkPads. It may not be recognizable at first glance but Lenovo has made significant strides in the design department. The X300 offers numerous design flourishes including a glossy bottom bezel, select illuminated buttons and — for the first time in the X Series — an integrated camera and stereo speakers. Lenovo went the distance here. Even covering little details such as painting the heat vents to match the rest of the exterior. It might not sound like much, but copper colored internals can really detract from the overall aesthetic of a notebook.

In addition, Lenovo says the X300 will support WiMax, when the technology become available.The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 also has a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera on selected models, a fingerprint reader, three USB ports, and a VGA output.

VoIP Phone: a Means to Start a Small Business
The need for making long distant calls at cheaper rates led to the introduction of VoIP. This secondary means of connecting people proved very fruitful. Using this technology, people were able to make calls at very reasonable rates, while simultaneously viewing the person at the other end on a web cam. Over the years, this technology has proved itself in more ways than one. It is easy to use, reliable and the cost involved is comparatively less than traditional telephony systems.
Many a times, all that is required for getting connected using VoIP is an adapter. The process is simple. Voice sounds get transmitted using data grams on the IP network. When this is done, telephony gains the same characteristics of a data network connection. So, these data grams can be used by different software to perform tasks such as conference calling. Equipment such as ‘routers’ support the proper functioning of the system. So, Voice over IP performs better when the switches, routers and network links are faster. Ethernet is usually the means of connecting networks that are Voice Over applications. The servers therefore fulfill many telephony roles such as call switching and connection management, call recording and auto-attendant function besides call conferencing. This thus gives the traditional phones access to VoIP. It also facilitates making calls to end points with varying audio capabilities.
The VoIP phone calls can connect a server that can be used for call management. The Voice over IP server can be connected to a PSTN without any hassles. Once connected, it becomes very feasible for making calls at reasonable price rates. As long as a WAN connectivity exists, a VoIP server can act as a PSTN gateway for IP phones. So, now you need not worry at all if you have made up your mind to start a small business. The DSL or cable network should work nicely to meet the needs of one to two people. So, it is possible for you to run an office from your home itself. If the number of employees is more than two, then you should opt for a different Internet telephony service. What you should always check is the bandwidth of the connection that you are opting for. So, with greater bandwidth the number of users who can access the IP telephony also increases. Supposing if you have a small PBX system or any other business telephone system, then simply purchase a ‘media gateway’. This will directly connect you to the internet without replacing any of your phone parts.
So, the internet telephony service has turned this world to a high tech place. Hassle free communication at cost effective rates has increased productivity in business. At a personal level also, cheap telephone calls have become the norm in different parts of the world. To avail the best of the VoIP service, one needs to have the best hardware device supported by software. The factors that become indispensable in this context include an Analogue Terminal Adaptor (ATA), a high speed broadband connection, and an IP phone service.

Mastering The Art Of Team Building
In the last twenty years or so, teamwork has become increasingly significant. Most organizations today use a work model that is based on multiple kinds of "formal" and "informal" teams.
Given this development in the work world, team-building skills have come to be an essential part of seeking that new job or that promotion into the next level of management. After all, studies as well as real world experiences have shown that a group of people working as a team can generate much more productivity than the same group of people working individually.
So how do you become a team builder? How do you master the art of team building? How do you get the members to work effectively as a team? All of these skills are necessary to lead your team successfully and to master the art of team building.
-Communication. Efficient teams are created when every single member is free and able to share his/her thoughts and opinions. The decision-making process for a team must be dialogue based, not dictatorial. Good communication also involves active listening among team members and the ability of the team members to value the opinions of the others.
-Trust. All good teams are based solidly on trust. Every member of the team must be able to trust every other member to do the required work and to be an active and productive team member.
-Clear Goals. A team needs specific goals to function effectively. Team goals must be specific, decided after discussion, and must have a particular time limit.
-Progress Review. Goals by themselves are not enough in the absence of regular progress reviews. New information or even actions taken towards achieving the goal can sometimes end up affecting the completion. Teams need to conduct regular internal checks that include all team members to review the progress that has been made so far and to work out any problems that may have arisen.
-Cooperation. Each team member has to find some way of collaborating with every other member of the team. Personal accomplishments will shine through, but cooperation, not competition, is the key to team building success.
-Professionalism. Of the many individuals in a team, some are bound to have personalities that clash with each other. Team members have to be willing and able to set petty differences aside, working together with the others to achieve the team goals.
-Differences. Diversity is an asset. It often brings in new and differing ways of looking at the same issue, thinking about the same issue, and developing new ideas, all of which combine to give the team a better chance at making good decisions. Team members must be comfortable with and should revel in individual differences while respecting the value that each member brings to the team through their differences.
-Enthusiasm. Team members must be able to jump into the team process with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm helps each member to feel like a part of a vibrant.
-Collaboration. Efficient teams have members who each play a vital role in the completion of the work. Each member of the team must feel that they play a vital role in the sharing of the work and each member of the team should be held accountable for his/her share. Individual accountability is a large part of sharing and teamwork.
-Clear Responsibilities. Every team member must understand their role within the team and the importance of their share of work to the team as a whole.

Change Brought By Wireless Microphones In The Music Industry
Wireless microphones are microphones, which are not connected to any cable or wire. The one main advantage with these microphones is that they allow you to move freely, or in other words they allow mobility. Since, they are not attached to any cable they offer a wife range of coverage. These microphones function with the help of an internal antenna system. We will discuss the uses and advantages of these microphones that have brought about changes in the music industry.
Wireless microphones operate like wireless transmitters but combine the function of boundary microphones. They are battery operated and are operated with the help of a base receiver. They have a touch sensitive button enabling speedy operations. These wireless microphones are ideal for live performances like concerts because of its mobility.
They have given a whole new meaning to the music industry as they can produce enhanced audio signals. They are available in different frequencies and the selection of which depends on the area of coverage required. A standard wireless microphone includes a handheld transmitter, a cardiod dynamic and a diversity receiver.
In the recent years, wireless microphones have developed vastly. There are companies that have come up with a headset wireless microphone that provides maximum mobility and reproduction of close proximity signal. These headset wireless devices are comprised of an adjustable headband, super cardiod design capsule and a wireless mini pin connector. This is ideal for concert and live performances, where performers needs to move a lot to deliver their song and performance without having to hold the microphone in hand. They are lightweight and easy to fix. A dance instructor will find this device useful, as they can give instructions and dance at the same time.
There are two types of wireless microphones. There are one-piece units which have an inbuilt transmitter, battery and antenna. The other is a the two-piece unit where there is a separate transmitting unit to which the mic is connected. They are powerful devices as the transmitting range of these microphones have a radius up to 1000 feet.
As you read on, we will provide you with useful points that can assist you when you want to get a wireless microphone. There are a number of factors to consider.
The quality of the sound goes without saying. It is the prime factor in choosing a microphone. Then comes the other factors. The mike should be rugged and reliable in order to hold up to the rigors of nightly live performance and travel. It should be able to handle high-pressure level (SPL). It should be comfortable and easy to hold while performing. If it is a headset wireless microphone, it should be easy to fix. It should have a good resistance to feedback.
Therefore we can say, looking at all the advantages and its fast growing advancement, the development of the wireless microphones has brought changes to the music industry. An artist can perform and move around freely as these microphones do not have a cable to connect to the transmitter, which has limited coverage.
