While scientists developed sensory-input devices to mimic the sensations of a virtual world, the games industry eschewed this hardware-based approach in favour of creating alternative realities through emotionally engaging software. "It turns out that the way humans are made, the software-based approach seems to have much more success," writes Edward Castronova in an illuminating guide to these new synthetic worlds.Millions of people now spend several hours a week immersed in "massively multiplayer online role-playing games" (MMORPGs). These are often Tolkienesque fantasy worlds in which players battle monsters, go on quests, and build up their virtual power and wealth. Some synthetic worlds are...

Has anyone else tried that sugar substitute called "Splenda?"My wife, Roxanne, read about it, and with me being on a diet for the past few weeks, she decided to buy some for me. I've had it twice now, once a couple teaspoons on a bowl of Grapenuts, and another time as the sweetener in some so-called dietetic ice cream.Let me tell you something, folks, calling the results of eating Splenda "having gas" is like calling the Space Shuttle an airplane. (Well, it would be like calling it an airplane if the damn thing could fly.) It's like calling a stick of dynamite a "partypopper." (No, wait. In the crowd I party with, dynamite is the partypopper of choice.) OK, fitting comparison escapes me. Let's get...

I've been in rock and roll all my life and I'm well aware that The Rolling Stones have been called the best rock and roll band. Don't get me wrong because I love Mick and the Stones, and the Beatles were my major musical influence, but here's why I think that Led Zeppelin is the best rock and roll band of all time: BEST PLAYERSFirst of all, John Bonham was the best rock and roll drummer ever to walk the face of this planet, and that's an informed opinion coming from a former professional drummer. John played drums unlike anyone else ever did, still does, or ever will, and that fact is continually demonstrated in the astounding breadth and depth of his recorded work. He had complete independence in...

George Washington was the first president of the United States and considered one of the best.George Washington is a much-admired person in many respects. As the first president of the United States, he set the course upon which the current three-branch system of federal government is based. George Washington is perhaps the one person who can most claim the title of Founding Father.George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 in Virginia. He was the son of well off plantation owner and spent his you in relative comfort. During his youth, the British Empire ruled the 13 colonies. Despite what you might assume, he was hardly a revolutionary and his stated goal was to become an officer in the...

Tracking systems are used for many reasons. A courier can determine where, and how fast, one of their vehicles is going at any time. Thieves can be followed right to their doorsteps. They can even remember mileage records and such, and remind you when go in for a service. Most Vehicle tracking systems use GPS, or Global positioning system, to record their exact position, speed and direction at regular intermissions. A network of satellites in medium earth orbit gathers such data. This system is used for other applications, such as navigation, map making and land surveying. It was originally created by the US department of defence, who developed it to attain a precise time reference for earthquake...

The word GPS Satelite Navigation may sound a bit difficult to understand for many. Simplifying the word in one plain sentence, the satellite navigation system allows a electronic device to find out its exact location through satellite. The GPS navigation device lets you be aware of longitude, latitude and altitude of that electronic device where it is kept. Possibility of satellite navigation was sensed first time in 1957, when Russia was launching his satellite Sputnik. In 1960s, USA Navy used the basic form of GPS Satellite Navigation when they used couple of satellites to track their the position of their sub-marines. But the real invention in satellite navigation came in 1970s when it was...

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a widely practiced method for improving customer service of a company/organization. CRM systems are software integrated systems which help in CRM.

The basic application of a CRM software program is sales force automation (SFA), which serves as the base for all CRM practices.Sales force automation, also known as employee automation, includes automation of all employee related proceedings and procedures. This include automation of information sharing, opportunity management, order tracking, order processing, lead...

Twelve billion US dollars. That was the amount spent by the American government for its global position system or GPS for short. Satellites are expensive, but when you seriously think about what a GPS can accomplish, it may well be worth every single cent. The United States Department of Defense no doubt had the proper rationale for inventing the GPS. In fact, in light of recent events that have developed as a result of 9/11, military and defense strategists are probably heaping praise on the DOD for its GPS efforts. GPS has turned out to be a very useful tool in their strategies to protect the country and its allies from potential disaster. They also have Ivan Getting to thank. GPS: how it started...

You've heard that new sport, geocaching, is fun. Or, you're tired of getting lost on your travels. Welcome to the 21st century. Global Postioning System (GPS) has been around long enough that prices are reasonable and the technology is user-friendly. With myriad brands and models, how to choose?If you want a GPS for both hiking and driving use, then a handheld unit would be the way to go. Some handhelds even have accessories to allow them to be installed in an automobile. But don't rule out a PDA. More on that in a moment. For driving only, there are GPS receivers made just for vehicle use.Handheld GPS receivers are either mapping or non--mapping. A basic, non--mapping unit can often cost less than...

If you've read my first article, BUDGETING YOUR LOG HOME: Where do you start?, you've got a very basic overview of the process. However, there are still a number of questions I'd like to address. Again, many of these questions will come up if you build any custom home, but I'd venture to guess the log home owners find themselves deeper in the decision-making process than someone dealing with a custom builder. After all, the differences become apparent immediately as the owners have to find their own manufacturer.Unless you have a pocket full of cash, you're going to have to follow the construction loan mindset throughout the budgeting process. I plan to devote a whole article to the construction...

Conventional wisdom points toward customer satisfaction surveys as the best way to pinpoint what specifically draws the customer back or pushes them away. Long relied upon to explain a customer's flitting from one company to another in search of the best experience, these surveys fall short of explaining the customer replies that pertain to the trust and respect of your employees. Studies have shown that there is a direct link between satisfied employees and happy customers, so it makes good business sense to invest in discovering what your employees need to stay loyal and satisfied. This creates an environment of positive, helpful people ready to bend over backwards for the customer. The use of...

Have you ever thought about installing a GPS vehicle tracking system? Although you may have seen the commercials and have some knowledge of how the system operates, you may still have questions as to how the GPS actually works and how it can serve your personal needs.1- The most obvious reason to have a GPS vehicle tracking system is in a situation where your car is stolen. If you ever become a victim of vehicle theft and are lucky enough to have a GPS system installed all you will need to do is to inform your GPS carrier of the theft. They can track the cars' exact location and its speed, when the vehicle has been located, they will call police to recover it for you.2- If you happen to be...

Retail Managers have a lot of information to process in the course of one day. They must decide what to act on now and what to save for later. Most of us are still expected to sell, be a leader and a team member at the same time. Depending on your management style and work ethic you may find yourself having more to do then time in a day. Letting go of some tasks may be a hard pill to swallow, but giving your team some of the control will free up some time for you to complete more important action items to achieve strategic goals, while developing a stronger team. As a manager your sole purpose for existing is to create sales. Therefore you should spend most of your time moving towards and creating...

There was a time when most American children were expected to grow taller than their parents. Since the early 20th century, children and adolescents grew about an inch and a half taller every 20 years. But recent height measurements suggest that the average height of Americans has reached a plateau.Data collected showed that the average height for Americans has stabilized in the past 50 years to about 5 feet 9 inches for men and 5 feet 4 inches for women. The reason is that most Americans now face few nutritional or health-related stresses in their youth. People experience the most height increase as infants and then as adolescents. Most Americans have avoided disease and eaten enough meat and milk...

Many companies and contractors in need of acquiring new or used construction equipment often don't have the financial resources needed to buy the construction equipment outright, unless it is a large corporation or some branch of the government. This is when the option of renting or leasing construction equipment comes into play. Deciding to rent or lease often depends on what the contractor or business manager feels most comfortable doing from a financial perspective after evaluating the many possibilities and deciding what suits their need from long term leasing to short term renting. The side of construction equipment rentals has met a positive growth since 2004, where nearly 50% of construction...

Initially, the Native Americans welcomed the Europeans to America. Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand that the Indians on San Salvador Island responded warmly to the gifts the Europeans gave them, and "became so entirely [their] friends that it was a wonder to see" (Hurtado 45).Montezuma and the Aztecs welcomed the Spaniards as a God that came in fulfillment of their destiny. This Aztec belief induced them to submit themselves entirely under the Spaniards' rule. Many Native American tribes, such as those encountered by Jacques Cartier, Cabeza de Vaca, and Hernando de Soto, regarded the Europeans as powerful shamans or Gods. The Native Americans would bring their ill...

I am an expert navigator with a map & compass but neither is as effective or as easy as the eTrex.I highly recommend the Gramin eTrex as a basic navigational aide. It's also a great starter for learning about GPS systems. It does everything it's meant to and does it very well.Garmin's claims of one handed usage are for real, it is easy to navigate the interface with the solid buttons on the unit."The Garmin eTrex GPS has one of the longest battery lives on the market, another major influence to purchase, and because it is only powered by two AA batteries, the maintenance costs are minimal. I highly recommend the Garmin eTrex GPS to users of any skill looking for a quick, reliable and inexpensive GPS...

The illegal alien and illegal immigration situation in the United States is serious and our Federal Prisons now have 33% illegal aliens in them, in Arizona the number is about 40% plus. We have also had huge numbers of people joining gangs, busy selling drugs and causing crimes too.Over 80 hospitals have closed in California due to the illegal immigration and illegal alien issues and 15 Billion is being sent back to Mexico each year as it leaves our economy and ends up funding economic development and paying for folks back in Mexico.Recently in Los Angeles a survey was done to ask the residents what they thought of the illegal immigration issues there and they were asked; Are Illegal Aliens a...

"Money". What is the definition of money? What is money to YOU? Chances are your thoughts toward money have a lot to do with how you feel (your emotion) and less to do with what you believe or know. So many people have an irrational emotional attachment to money. Has anyone ever taught you how to understand it? Why is that? I'm not sure why but so very many of us have disempowering beliefs and about and an illogical attachment to the concept of money. A concept which is, after all, completely intangible. Since many of us do have these irrational tendencies towards money, I'm going to use a crazy metaphor to sneak around these limiting beliefs in your mind and introduce you to a way of thinking...

You can slash prices and offer all types of sales promotions at your online business but unless you can create client loyalty, you'll rarely be successful. You need to keep clients coming back to your website over and over again. Sounds easy but how does one create this loyalty?

As the single-largest industry in the U.S., there's no doubt that construction plays a pivotal role in the nation's economy. After all, without heavy equipment, construction equipment operators, and building inspectors, we wouldn't have any skyscrapers, freeways, apartment buildings, or bridges. So, when it comes to getting in on some of the hottest careers around, this industry will always provide more than its share of employment opportunities. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) forecasts that employment opportunities for construction managers will exceed the number of qualified candidates from now through 2014. That said - a construction management degree may be the best way to...
