Last Weekend, something astounding occurred on Hayling Island. There was a 8 metre long whale beached on some of the mudflats just to the north of Hayling in the neighbouring Langstone Harbour, Hampshire.

Regrettably, the Northern Bottlenose whale had gone through severe dehydration, which meant it was suffering from renal failure, when it became immobilised on Wednesday night.

There was a large rescue system, where humans tried bravely to save the Northern Bottlenose’s life. At one point the trained medics felt that the had to issue a lethal injection to put the whale to sleep. However, the whale then drifted out to sea once again. Regrettably, it came back towards the harbor again and was beached for a second and ultimate time.

The medical team concluded that the only nurturant thing to do would be to issue the lethal injection, which they did on Friday morning. They used Immobilon, which was a very fast and lethal strength of anaesthetic.

If the mammal was not put to sleep, the experts believe that it would have taken about two further days for the creature to die, during which it would have stayed sick and distressed.

It seemed bizarre that the 6 tonne mammalian, which is usually found about 3000 miles away, finished up here on Hayling Island, but it is another wonderful story that Hampshire’s Hayling Island brings to its history.

There were around a dozen firefighters, police, coastguard personnel as well as members of the Hayling Island harvour lifeboat staff involved in the attempt.

That is a question that can spark a lot of debate from many other cities throughout the United States. But for someone who has taken dental hygienist training and is seeking employment, this city may have increased opportunities in the field of dentistry.

Firstly, Chicago is a very large city and a hub within a large trading area which means there is a very large population living in and around Chicago. The count in 2000 was near 10 million for the Chicago metropolitan area. This city is also rumored to be the largest consumer of sugar in the United States. Getting supporting documentation for this claim is somewhat difficult, but the sheer number of people living and visiting Chicago would lead one to believe that it would be at least very high on the list. Chicago gets over 40,000 visitors on an annual basis due to its large draw for conventions and other activities.

So the individual holding the newly acquired dental assistant degree should have bright prospects for employment in a dental practice here. A bright smile and bright employment prospects in Chicago will probably make the whole process of dental hygienist training all worthwhile. There are certainly a lot of people here that can use your skills.

And to answer the question regarding Chicago and the idea of it being a good place to get a dental assistant degree, there are well over 800 locations than one can attend in this business area. The choice is quite large just like the population base. For those with a larger than normal sweet tooth the good news is, that help is on the way in form of a newly graduated dental assistant.

People who study in this field are generally individuals that have a need to provide help to others and enjoy the company of others. The work itself is something that many of us have difficulty understanding but they provide a very important healthcare service that is in high demand.

World on IP community versus the TELECOMS’ monopoly or a dream of a visionary

Why VOIP will grow over the usual telephony

Without qualification, if one had to choose between usual telephone lines or IP telephony for carrying the voice, the first would be a better fit for the needs of voice communications. Also, IP telephony is generally subject to transmission delays.

Voice communications is highly sensitive to delays or irregularities in the transmission of voice signal components.

Even when transmitted in digital form, not only must the transmission delay be small (so as to be imperceptible to the listener), but also the time between the arrival of digital signal samples at the receiving end of a transmission must be at regular intervals. Any significant form of delay, whether delay of all samples or one sample relative to the other, can significantly degrade the quality of the voice signal recreated at the far end of the transmission.

Besides, Ip telephony during network congestion is subject to the loss of “packets” and with them part of the words of a conversation.

In the usual telephone lines, this doesn’t occure, because new calls are blocked from entering the network and there is no network congestion.

Why so much activity was spent in the last few years to overcome these problems?

Now, we are definetly able to offer a very good and reliable VOIP , with phones that can be used also on a Modem or ISDN connection. ( very attractive for the countries that are mostly penalized with high cost of telephone charges: India, Africa and rural zones in general.) A high compression and a new algorithm for it will allow the transmission of voice without any delay, the priority given to the voice packets will kill the congestion, all this resulting in a gorgeous quality of voice.

Although voice communications continues to dominate the market today, this will ultimately change as data communications grows at 100% per year, ( in Italy last year we had a 250% growth of DSL lines and they say next year will even be better) while voice only increases by 8 to 10% per year. Thus, the doubling of the existing lines ( creation of voice over IP world ) only makes sense in the case the data customers want to use the data line for voice communications as well. For example, a multi-location user that uses a commercial data network service to connect those customer locations might want to cut down expenses by using that same network for voice communications, as well. It has been estimated that companies can lower their communications costs by as much as 80% by placing their voice traffic through the unused space in their data networks .

How we plan to compete with the giant Telecoms of today

Entering the market against the Telecoms is downright dangerous and potentially fatal in today’s capital environment. The net revenue derived from investment should be small relatively to the size of the investment. A single large business may generate many thousands of dollars per month in revenues for an investor , while a big residential consumers investment would generate very little revenue compared to the infrastructures required.

That considered, it should not surprise us if firms try and serve large businesses rather than residential customers.

If competition is less likely when the revenue is small relative to the size of the investment, there are three ways to increase competition in a market:

a) increase revenue

b) reduce the investment required

c) do both.

What has all this to do with being a Utopistic dreamer or visionary as many defined me while I explained my project?

I have an exciting project, which, if succesfull, will allow all the people who own a DSL line to be able to call the world with a portable IP phone. I will try to explain it as much as possible ( you can also see my web pages at http://www.worldonip.com/community. )

It is very simple.

Instead of sharing the bandwidth to download illegal MP3 or movies, we share it to telephone for free.

You need to connect to your DSL line an Access Point, to place the antenna on a window. You do not even need to have the computer on 24 hours a day, just connecting the access point. You will create a ” Hot Spot” that every other member of the community will be able to use. You will then need a (real) portable IP phone, you will connect to the Net either through your own Hot Spot or through the hot spot of any other member, wherever you will be ( all the continents will have people sharing hot spots. )

A call with our device consumes maximum 20 k, thanks to to high compression of the voice and the quality is absolutely gorgeous.

Our telephone will have a price around 200 - 250 US dollars. An access point costs not more than 100 US dollars. The value of the investment highly overcomes the amount.

Imagine, being able to call for free for the rest of your life!!! And imagine what kind of doors opens a connection like that!

Going back to the market competition.

In my particular case

a) Increase the revenue. Every member would have enormous revenues under the voice” Free call wherever he wants”.

b) Reduce the investment. Being a shared investment, every member will invest in the enterprise the cost of an Access point ( around $100 or even less). Considering that in the beginning we will have members who already have a DSL line with a flat rate, and already use it for other purposes, also the cost of running the system and relative bandwidth will amount to almost zero. The cost of the phone is irrilevant compared to the benefit of having FREE CALLS.

Not only does the Community reduce the investment required to provide a competitive service to almost ZERO, it also significantly reduces the risk involved in funding a telecom start-up venture. The Community allows an entrant to begin a new service at minimal sunk capital cost.

Further, once a critical mass of customers is signed up on the Community, it becomes far more cost effective for the entrant to build a new ” Hot Spot”.

To the unskilled eye, it appears as if the competition envisioned by the authors of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 for residential and small business markets was not much more than a dream - an unrealized and unrealizable nirvana.

The project of the Community is making that dream a reality and offers the potential for building a really strong TELECOM able to compete against the World Telecoms’ monopoly.

Our model is easy to realize ( because the infrastructure already exists), brings enormous revenues to the members of the Community and the investment is really minimal.

Without considering the NON-Polluting system that will be created in competition to a Highly polluting system existing.

World on Ip community versus Telecoms’ monopoly. A real challenge?

At a recent homeschool convention, I had the opportunity to speak to many moms about ways to think “Outside the Books”, when it comes to our homeschooling. I wasn’t advocating never using textbooks or changing programs, but rather, helping them see that there are many ways to “show what you know”. It is also important for us to help our children see that real learning happens all the time, not just when they are filling out worksheets or sitting at our school table.

One way we have added a bit of spice to our homeschooling over the years is with a weekly Math Lab day. On one day a week I plan for us to leave the math curriculum on the shelf and do some hands-on learning with games, crafts, etc. Math Lab days are also great for using math software you have sitting around, but may never get around to using. Or how about those math games you have purchased, but usually remain on the shelf collecting dust?

Just what kinds of things can you do on Math Lab Day? I’m glad you asked!
Young children

* Counting games with candy, Legos, or anything else you might have lying around.
* “War” with a regular deck of cards or make your own deck with numbers to 100 and maybe a “wild card” or two to make things more exciting.
* If you have them, Snap Cubes (a popular manipulative) are great to play with, making “trains” of different color patterns. You start the pattern, and your child adds on to the train following the pattern. Then let them start a pattern and you finish it.
* Any board game that requires dice and counting.
* Use standard and non-standard items to measure things around the house. “Hey, Mom, did you know the cat is 50 paper clips long?”
* Kitchen - baking involves using lots of real life fractions - while you’re at it,how about sharing the “fruits” of your math lesson with a neighbor!
* Play store

Elementary thru Middle School

* Math with Literature! We love Sir Cumference, A Place for Zero, Equal Schmequal, and other titles in the math adventure series.
* Our favorite math games are S’math and Knock Out! from Muggin’s Math - we just purchased their new fraction games, too.
* Board games, including Monopoly, PayDay!, Sequence and more.
* Card games like UNO and War. A favorite is to use flashcards with math facts as our “war” deck.
* Videos: Multiplication Rock, Money Rock
* Play store and many of the other activities from the above list
* If you have any of the handheld, electronic math toys, Lab Day is a good time to make sure they are put to use
* Computer games - Money Town, Math Blaster, etc.
* Use activities from “Family Math”, “Math for Smarty Pants” or “Games for Learning Math.”
* Plan an imaginary trip and use a map to figure how many miles you will travel.
* For kids interested in the Stock Market, you can use Lab Day each week to track and check on a couple of stocks, plotting their progress on a graph.
* Visit one of the fun, free math game sites online like the Math Arcade at funbrain.com. There are lots more free websites for online learning in my book, Using the Internet In Your Homeschool.

One other idea that we’ve implemented, not just for Lab Day, but as a way to add some more real life application to our math lessons is the “Mommy Bank”. I gave each of my kids a blank check or savings registry book. Their allowance is “direct deposited” into their Mommy Bank account. They must add the amount each week. They also deposit money received for their birthday, odd jobs, etc. When they purchase something, I pay for it and we deduct it from their account in the Mommy Bank. Of course, older children often prefer to keep their money with them, but this works well when they are younger or for those kids who are not yet ready to carry around cash.

The above lists are just a few of the things we have done on Math Lab Day over the years. Writing this article has reminded me that my own homeschooling has fallen into a bit of a rut. Sounds like tomorrow needs to be an “Outside the Book” kind of day!

Looking for suspicious behavior is something every security professional must be come good at if they are to do their jobs properly. The security and safety of the public depends on it. Let’s take the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for instance; these folks must be able to spot the bad guys in the crowd when they see something, which is suspicious.

One security industry observer stated recently; “It would help to teach people that they can tell someone if they see something suspicious. It drives me crazy that most people are afraid to speak out when they see something that looks dangerous, suspicious or just plain wrong and out of place. I was thinking about the shoe bomber [Richard Reed], who was just plain ugly. I think that is part of the reason why he was caught as he is so strange looking. Had he been a handsome person with a bomb in his very expensive loafers, would anyone have even paid a lot of attention to him. I can’t remember the circumstances of why he was picked out to get a more thorough screening, but this had to have been part of it.”

Can we use virtual reality and holographic imaging of real people and suspicious people with very minute clues of possible “evil behavior” anomalies to train our DHS and TSA personnel? A classroom setting with theatre seating of 5 rows with tracks down on the floor. Each track would have holographic people in full motion walking as 2-foot diameter holographic images passed by with subtle clues. There would be up to twenty of these moving at different speeds for ten-minutes and the security professional students would try to pick them out. There would also be distraction Holographic Images, which would be good people but draw attention away from the bad guys. After the ten minutes one by one the instructor would bring back each holographic bad guy and point out the clues and give aways. I believe such practice is essential so that we can dump the political correctness and view situations in a more realistic setting; that is to say; Augmented and Virtual Holographic Full Motion Reality. Think on this.

Looking for alternative methods like university bursaries to help pay for your degree can be lengthy and intimidating. University scholarships are different from a student loan in that these are a grant for education, so it does not have to be repaid. While researching methods of funding your higher instruction, be aware that funds are available at truly unusual spots, for instance left hander scholarships. Financial Aid for Left-handers: - It may seem unusual to extend a grant dependent on a predominant hand, however look at these facts: Bill Gates is a lefty, as is Barack Obama. Raphael, Da Vinci, Jimi Hendrix also were left handed as well. Current figures suggest 11% of people are left-handed. Frequently thought to be more artistic and to be smarter, left-handers have frequently gone through discrimination. Stigmatization is not a problem anymore and left handers are no longer thought of as unusual, as a matter of fact they may even be linked with the many great people referred to previously.

Visit and take a look at our extensive site for foster children scholarships for a brighter future information…

There are various funds accessible for left handed students if you know where to search. A Frederick and Mary F. Beckley Scholarship for one thousand dollars is available at Juniata College in Huntington, Pennsylvania. Awarded to students of Juniata College and established in the late 1970’s, this school grant has helped over 40 left handed students through college.

Many grants do have requirements and limitations. In a few cases certain grades can be needed or certain monetary guidelines have to be satisfied. Go For for as many school scholarships as achievable to give you a greater opportunity of graduating with a negligible level of debt. You might also look at community organizations, clubs and groups associated with hobbies. Lefty scholarships aren’t the only case; financial aid is likewise available if you are a child of a from a military family or suffer from a handicap, to provide some examples.

Researching college bursaries may be time consuming, all the same the advantages will be worth it. In conjunction with student loans, they are effective in keeping down the student debt generated by a university education. Leave no stone unturned and explore each scholarship. Left-handed funding is not the only option — and do be imaginative! If you even consider you might be suitable, then apply, you will keep any debt minimal, and you’ll look forward to better prospects when you graduate.
