Cyber-Kids: Educational Software

Computer software, as we know it today, was first used in the early 1940s. Built in 1943, the Type 19 Synthetic Radar Trainer was a flight simulator built to replicate on-board instrument data for pilots in training. This simple program would lay the framework for educational curriculums across the United States. The Type 19 was not only the beginning of applicable computer software, it was the precursor to the educational uses of computer programs and software worldwide.

Salviati Glass: Bold Fixtures

Though not often mentioned, the history of glass is basically interwoven into human history. Any survey of the history of glass, no matter how brief, must begin on the island of Murano, in particular the participation of the Salviati family of Murano. Anyone who has experienced their quality glass products can vouch for their luminescence and craftsmanship.

Breast Augmentation: Chicago Bound

For one reason or another, cultures throughout history have been preoccupied the female breast. Whether it was ancient tribes casting rotund fertility goddesses or French impressionist painters scandalously depicting poorly clad women, breasts get a lot of attention-especially nice, full ones. Many cultures zero in one the sexual aspects of the female breast, and usually bigger is viewed as better. Witness the celebrity of Pamela Lee Anderson and the late Anna Nicole Smith! Most women, however, prefer something a bit more natural looking.

Silver Nitrate: Building the Photographic Revolution

While it is popularly believed that the first photograph was probably taken earlier, the official invention of photography was made in 1839 by French artist and chemist Louis J.M. Daguerre. In conjunction with Joseph Nicphore Nipce, they built upon a discovery made by Johann Heinrich Schultz in 1724 regarding how a certain silver nitrate and chalk mixture darkened when exposed to light. The daguerreotype, or earliest type of photograph, was born.

Caltech: The California Institute Of Technology

California Institute of Technology, generally referred to as Caltech, is a privately owned research university that offers an intensive curriculum specializing in the natural sciences and engineering. Known for their aeronautical advances in jet-propulsion, Caltech works very closely with NASA. Despite the world renown, Caltech maintains a relatively small student body, with slightly over two thousand students enrolled in both its graduate and undergraduate programs.

Digital Security: A New Future

Who needs digital security? In today’s world, nearly everyone. With scam artists and identity theft at an all time high, the need for digital security is a necessity. A team of security and cryptography experts is the basic prerequisite for any company you decide will handle your security needs. In the ever-changing world of security you must have a company that keeps abreast with all the latest anti-fraud solutions.

ETX Platforms

Computer-On-Modules, or COMs, come standardized with the ETX, microETXexpress, and the ETXexpress systems. They offer standard functionality you can customize to any application needs. This provides for an inconceivable amount of flexibility, all the while allowing the user to maintain its functionality. The total design of the ETX baseboard keeps related costs to a minimum. Indeed, products that have embedded ETX modules are very scalable and enjoy longer life cycles.

Re-Inventing the Letterpress Invitation

When you check your mail, you will inevitably receive a pile of unwanted bills, arbitrary offers for magazines, and coupons. Once in a blue moon, you might actually receive a piece from an actual human being. You will notice these are well-crafted, nicely made letters and invitations. Notice the paper, with crisp, raised lettering seemingly crafted from an exclusive boutique.

GPS: The Eye In the Sky

Originally, the Global Positioning System (GPS) was designed solely for military use. At present, it is the only fully functional satellite system that uses a series of medium-range earth orbit satellites to determine a wide spectrum of information, including location, time, speed, as well as the direction of any particular receivers.

Wood Blinds: Superior Window Dressing

I love moving to a new place. I love the idea of decorating a home and the endless sea of possibilities. Living in a tropical or warm climate makes using heavy curtains or drapes somewhat prohibitive. The solution, I found, is a liberal, yet tasteful, use of wood blinds.
