Have you ever consider what would happen if you are on a colony on the moon and all a sudden runaway bacteria or virus becomes so pervasive that you cannot stop it and it threatens the lives of the crewmembers? It is for this reason that we need abatement procedures and protocols to stop the bacteria from overtaking a Lunar or Martian colony.

But how can we control bacteria in an enclosed capsule or environment without setting off a chain of events? Well very carefully might be the right answer? Nevertheless if we have nano tech devices or nano bots which attack the bacteria where it is clustered and move on to the greatest threat first and continue working until all the bacteria is abated and deleted from the lunar base station, capsule or space station, then we will be well on our way of solving the problem you see?

Is it possible that the nano bots could handle the problem? Indeed it is and it is only a matter of time until they do. Consider if you will that nano bots and nano tech may be used inside the human bio-system to go through the body and constantly weed out cancer cells?

Well the only difference would be that the air inside the capsule, space station is less dense than inside the human body and that the space is bigger and thus you might need a larger amount or a handful of these to take care a larger run away bacteria, mold or virus problem in the artificial habit of the colony, space capsule or space station. So, consider this in 2006.

There exists a new type of advertising that is going great. Watch out, it could be the next most prominent event since Google Adsense. At present, site owners expend immense amounts of money in order to get visitors to their web page. They try pay per click ads, banner ads, popup ads, and a hundred other, often nefarious, methods of acquiring traffic. The newest way of attracting visitors has become known as Pixel Advertising.

The basic premise is that pixels (the primary unit that makes up a graphic on a website) are made available on a web page. These pixels display graphics that link back to the advertiser’s website. The page becomes a mosaic that can often equal the best pop culture art. The outcome is a web page that gets qualified traffic with a link back to their site, this in turn causes sales which, in anyone’s book, is the name of the game.

The reasoning behind this new medium is the idea that PPC advertising costs too much. Ten PPC clicks per day at 50 cents per click works out at $1825 per annum. Often pay per click costs a great deal more than this depending, obviously, on the competition.

Pixel adverts are usually a single cost and are valid for years. It is not uncommon to see pixel site owners providing their space for 5 years. With a good quality graphic, it could attract more visitors to your website than pay per click advertising resulting in big savings. Spaces are most commonly sold in 10 by 10 pixel blocks at 5 cents per pixel up to over a dollar a pixel. A 10 by 10 block comprises 100 pixels. The 10px by 10px minimum format is usually the norm as this is logically the smallest functional space. Blocks of pixels generally have to form a square or a rectangle.

Pixel advertising is just in it’s infancy. It is much too early to tell where it may lead, but for what they cost, the pixel ads tend to be most likely money well spent. Overall, it’s likely to be a small price to pay and could benefit site owners with a good collection of inbound links.

If you use a vehicle for conducting business, you can deduct certain automobile tax expenses from your tax bill. This is true even if you use the vehicle for personal and business needs.

Automobile Tax Expenses

The powers that be have historically written sections into the tax code promoting business activities. One of the traditional write-offs has always been the expenses associated with using a vehicle for business purposes.

The simplest automobile tax expense situation is one in which a vehicle is used entirely for business. For example, if you have a van used for a delivery service and nothing personal, all expenses associated with the van can be written off. This is known as the exclusive use situation. For many small businesses, however, a vehicle will be used for both personal and business reasons.

Where you use a vehicle for both personal and business reasons, you can only deduct the automobile expenses associated with the business use. Keep in mind that driving to and from work is not considered business mileage, while driving from an office to meet a client is considered business mileage.

There are two methods for determining deductible automobile tax expenses. The first is a simple calculation known as the standard mileage deduction. The second is the actual expenses method. You can choose whichever deduction provides you with the biggest deduction unless you lease the car. With a lease, you must use the standard mileage deduction.

The standard mileage rate deduction is a calculation wherein you multiply your total business mileage for the year by a figure provided by the IRS. For the first eight months of 2005, the figure provided by the IRS is 40.5 cents per mile. For the last four months of 2005, the figure has been bumped up to 48.5 cents to reflect high gas prices.

The actual cost expense option is exactly what it sounds like. It is the actual cost associated with using the vehicle for tax purposes for a particular tax year. Automobile tax expenses will include gas, tires, repairs, oil changes, registration costs, licensing, insurance and so on. In many cases, the actual expense deduction will end up being larger than the standard mileage deduction.

Regardless of the method you choose, you must document the automobile tax expenses. This means keeping a mileage book and receipts of anything you intend to deduct.

There is a lot of talk about leadership development but very little specific leadership skill training is available. It seems like success is dependent upon surrounding yourself with the right people and hoping they have the skills necessary to do the job. Compassion often prevents us from replacing those that don’t have the skills in a timely fashion and very little coaching and mentoring support is available within the company.

A sad commentary considering that team building and teamwork skills are critical to the effectiveness of the management team. Success of your management team can be defined by what they accomplish as a group. A synergy within the team that creates unity, clarity of direction with a common purpose that is in alignment with strategic initiatives. This is the first prerequisite for your management team to make the Super Bowl and be effective. A common purpose and crystal clarity of goals and objectives are essential. Team building exercises must support the development of this clarity which includes responsibilities and accountability.

“Purpose is the driving force of all accomplishments of greatness” — Thomas Carlyle

What is your management teams real purpose? Do they all share the same response to that question?

Effective communication is the second prerequisite. This topic is discussed in every management book written because ineffective communication is generally at least partially responsible for the majority of failures within any management team. The key to effective communication starts with being able to listen effectively. In addition to listening skills, an effective management team must foster trust within the group, respect for each other and their abilities, an open honesty to be able to express opinions without fear and a feeling of camaraderie that breeds an atmosphere of sharing both credit for success and responsibility for failure.

Often times a Management Team Retreat or workshop can provide tremendous dividends by energizing the group to such an extent that they could not only make the Super Bowl but win it as well. The following key components should be part of this development process.

• Leadership

Communication

Conflict recognition & management

Stress Awareness

Delegation

Team Building

Coaching & Mentoring

• Organizational Effectiveness

- Optimizing Performance

- Vision & Values

- Results Focus

- Organizational Alignment

- Role Clarity

• Strategic Planning and Scenario Planning

The Process

Readiness Factors

The End Game

We have mentioned the provisions made to provide back-up power systems involving generators and banks of batteries (see history of the computer - redundancy). You can probably tell from this that we are talking about a lot of power here.

Power means heat, and in the exacting world of the computer, excessive heat can cause all sorts of problems. Manufacturers had very close tolerances for operating temperature and humidity.

In the early days of vacuum tubes, electronic circuits were more tolerant of heat, most components could be designed to operate at high temperature. For instance a resistor designed for one quarter watt dissipation in a circuit today could have been replaced by a 10 watt resistor of the same value in the tube design, and have the same effect in the circuit. Of course the 10 watt resistor is physically much larger, but space was not as critical as in today’s circuits.

The problems of heat generation were, however, very apparent in the vacuum tube computer. The vacuum tube works by heating the Cathode so that it will emit electrons. The Cathode has a negative charge, while the Anode has a positive charge.

Due to the difference in voltage, of some hundreds of volts, the electrons are attracted to the Anode and can flow freely in the vacuum. This flow is regulated by one or more grids placed between the Cathode and Anode. The grid has a slightly negative bias compared to the Cathode, and can be modulated, or altered, to control the electron flow, and thus the current.

For example, in an amplifier, a triode (a tube with three electrodes, Anode, Cathode and Grid) can be made by applying a varying signal, perhaps from a vinyl disk, to the grid. Its small variations in amplitude, or size, are amplified in the current flowing through the tube, usually measured across a resistor in the Anode circuit.

But we digress! Back to the computer. In the computers using vacuum tubes, they were usually used as a switch, on or off, 0 or 1, in tune with the binary system. This was easily achieved by applying a negative voltage to the cathode to turn off the tube, or a more positive one to turn it on. This arrangement works well in circuits like flip-flops and their derivatives.

But - there’s always a but - due to the vast number of circuits required, with each tube generating heat to work, the cooling problems were huge. Large blowers and cooling fans around the tubes, as well as room air conditioning were standard. Also liquid cooling was used.

When transistors came along, in the 1960s, there was less heat generated per circuit. However, with the new solid state technology came new requirements for more sophisticated designs and capacities. The number of individual circuits multiplied.

Added to this was the narrow tolerance to temperature variations. A transistor, also normally used as a switch, could turn on when supposed to be off, when overheated, causing chaos in the system.

A transistor was not a perfectly predictable device at that time. They would behave as required within tolerances, and they were individually selected for this. If close to the tolerance limit, and in a susceptible position in the circuit or physically in the machine, a problem could occur. Room air conditioning became very important.

In part 2 we will look at conditions in the computer room.

Climate changes and the subsequent global warming are capable of causing significant, long term and possibly irreversible effects on a regional, continental and global level. While some of these effects are a direct consequence of global warming, there are also certain indirect effects of this phenomenon. Some significant effects of global warming include melting of polar ice caps, economic impart, changes in the timing of seasonal patterns in ecosystems and expansion of tropical diseases.

Melting of polar ice caps occurs as a result of increased temperatures in the earth’s environment. As a result, one can observe incidents such as raising sea levels, retreating of glaciers and shrinking of arctic and Antarctic regions. Polar ice caps and glaciers are an important source of fresh water on this planet. If they melt, there will be a severe shortage of drinking water on the earth. Other major effects of global warming include increased incidences of stronger hurricanes and greater probability of droughts and heat waves, a phenomenon known as El Nino effect. Global warming can cause greater spread of tropical diseases such as malaria. This is because till now colder regions were not conducive for the spread of tropical diseases. Once these countries get warmer due to global warming, they will no longer be resistant to these infections.

“What can you do to increase that set of three numbers on your
credit report that can be so important with your financing?”

I came across this question as I was surfing discussion groups
the other day. Check out my answer:

Dear Friend,

Here are 3 steps I used to take my credit score from 592
(horrible credit) to 762 (perfect credit) almost overnight.
If you’re interested in improving your credit rating quickly,
you’ll find this story helpful:

In 1995 I made a decision that would ruin my perfect credit
history. I quit my salary job to become an insurance salesman.
The job paid commission only. Within a few months I lost
everything - house, car, credit rating and my self respect.

By the end of 1996 I was living with my mom, all my credit
accounts were severely past due, and I was paying 22%
interest on a broke-down green Geo Storm…I was a real loser.

Then, in 1997, I became a banker. I didn’t know it at the time,
but this would turn out to be the break I needed to eliminate my
credit problems forever.

During my seven years as a banker, I came across several
legal and highly effective ways to improve my credit rating.
As a result, I was able to increase my credit scores by an
average of 170 points.

Here’s what I did:

Step #1:
After spending hundreds of dollars on credit repair services that
didn’t work, I found out how to get negative accounts removed
on my own.

Basically, I wrote letters to the collection agencies requesting
proof that the accounts were mine. 89% of the time they had
no proof that the bad accounts belonged to me. So I was able
to get them deleted from my credit file.

Step #2:
I opened new accounts with high credit limits and kept the
balances low.

I discovered that if you keep your available credit limits high and
only use 10% to 30% of the credit you have available, your
credit score will improve dramatically.


Step #3:
Next, I added accounts with years of perfect payment history to
my credit file. This step took my credit score from 647 to 762.

While you can certainly add seasoned accounts to your credit
file for free, there are companies that claim they can do it for
a fee.

The problem is, they charge between $2,000 and $2,500 per
account. If you want a 700+ credit score you’ll need 3 to 4 of
these accounts. That equates to a cost of $6,000 to $10,000.

(You can conduct a search on your favorite search engine for
companies that offer this service.)


While there are several highly effective steps you can take to
increase your credit scores by as much as 200 points, these
are the main ones…And here’s the good news: Each step can
be completed in less than 30 days.

Help yourself avoid overdraft fees by understanding checking.

While there is a lot of attention put on people who get into financial trouble based on the amount of money that they charge to their credit cards, that is not the only problem that people commonly have. For instance, checking accounts can cause trouble as well, especially if you do not know how checking works. Therefore, before you start using your checking account frequently, you should find out exactly how your checking account works.

Your checking account is just another bank account, though it is usually not the same or attached to your savings account. Many people find it worthwhile to have both a savings account and a checking account. The reason for this is that you get interest on your savings in the savings account - while in a checking account, you have more freedom with when and how you withdraw your money.

When you write a check, it is true that the money will not be taken out of your account immediately. However, trying to beat the system and writing checks before you have money deposited into your account is a good way to get into trouble with bounced checks. This is why it is important to keep a detailed checkbook, so that you will know exactly how much money is in your checking account at all times.

One thing that you should keep in mind, as well, is that in most cases, debit or check cards will withdraw the money from your account immediately. Therefore, you should make sure that you count these transactions in your check book just like you would any other transaction.

Another tip that you should think about is that it is usually a good idea to keep some extra money in your checking account. If you have a $200 buffer, then you’ll be able to take care of business if something unexpected should come up. For instance, if there is an emergency and you need to spend money at first, then the extra money in your account will come in handy. This is also useful just in case you are waiting for a deposit into your account and it is late.
