PHP and Oracle
- server side language and database management

First and foremost..

I just want to share this...
which I actually used ...

Assuming we've already installed the Oracle in our OS..

1. Download this AppServ

2. Edit the php.ini and then uncomment the ff:
extension=php_oci8.dll
extension=php_oracle.dll

and by this one..we can already connect..

Connecting PHP and Oracle

//some codes here
global $conn;
$user = "username";
$password = "password";
$db="database";
$conn = oci_connect($user, $password, $db);
if (!$conn) {
      $err = oci_error();
      echo htmlentities($err['message']);
      exit;
}
//some codes here

So that's it..

What is VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Some VoIP services may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. Also, while some VoIP services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone connected to a VoIP adapter.

Call Transfer
is a telecommunications mechanism that enables a user to relocate an existing call to another telephone or attendant console by using the transfer button and dialing the required location.
# the local number you want to transfer the call.

Voice Hardware Activated

Lights
Hassle Free using your IP Phone you can turn of the lights by simply dial the IP number in your home and send a message.
e;g; “Turn off the Lights” using the voice received over the VoIp server the Lights will automatically turned off.

• Same Thing when the Doors and Appliances.
•
Voice Software Inquiry

Bank Account Inquiry
An operator will answer you call and asked your bank account number. The message will be transferred to the VoIP bank account server and check you account then automatically send back the answer of your query.

Can I Take My Phone Adapter with me When I Travel?
Some VoIP service providers offer services that can be used wherever a high speed Internet connection available. Using a VoIP service from a new location may impact your ability to connect directly to emergency services through 9-1-1. For additional information, see www.voip911.gov.

Does my Computer Have to be Turned on?
Only if your service requires you to make calls using your computer. All VoIP services require your broadband Internet connection to be active.
How Do I Know If I have a VoIP phone Call?
If you have a special VoIP phone or a regular telephone connected to a VoIP adapter, the phone will ring like a traditional telephone. If your VoIP service requires you to make calls using your computer, the software supplied by your service provider will alert you when you have an incoming call.

Does the FCC Regulate VoIP?
In June 2005 the FCC imposed 911 obligations on providers of “interconnected” VoIP services – VoIP services that allow users generally to make calls to and receive calls from the regular telephone network. You should know, however, that 911 calls using VoIP are handled differently than 911 calls using your regular telephone service. Please see our consumer fact sheet on VoIP and 911 services at www.voip911.gov for complete information on these differences.
In addition, the FCC requires interconnected VoIP providers to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (CALEA) and to contribute to the Universal Service Fund, which supports communications services in high-cost areas and for income-eligible telephone subscribers.
Aspects of these considerations may change with new developments in internet technology. You should always check with the VoIP service provider you choose to confirm any advantages and limitations to their service.

INSTRUCTIONS

Call Forwarding

Is a feature on some telephone networks that allows an incoming call to a called party, which would be otherwise unavailable, to be redirected to a mobile telephone or other telephone number where the desired called party is situated.

Dial the number where you want to forward the incoming call.

Conferencing (*5000)

is a telephone call in which the calling party wishes to have more than one called party listen in to the audio portion of the call. The conference calls may be designed to allow the called party to participate during the call.

Paging

Dial * 3000 to connect your calls to other telephone

IVR (*7777)

is a technology that allows a computer to detect voice and keypad inputs. IVR technology is used extensively in telecommunications, but is also being introduced into automobile systems for hands-free operation.

How VoIP / Internet Voice Works
VoIP services convert your voice into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number, the signal is converted to a regular telephone signal before it reaches the destination. VoIP can allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional phone connected to a special adapter. In addition, wireless "hot spots" in locations such as airports, parks, and cafes allow you to connect to the Internet and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly.
What Kind of Equipment Do I Need?
A broadband (high speed Internet) connection is required. This can be through a cable modem, or high speed services such as DSL or a local area network. A computer, adaptor, or specialized phone is required. Some VoIP services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, while other services allow you to use a traditional phone connected to a VoIP adapter. If you use your computer, you will need some software and an inexpensive microphone. Special VoIP phones plug directly into your broadband connection and operate largely like a traditional telephone. If you use a telephone with a VoIP adapter, you'll be able to dial just as you always have, and the service provider may also provide a dial tone.
Is there a difference between making a Local Call and a Long Distance Call?
Some VoIP providers offer their services for free, normally only for calls to other subscribers to the service. Your VoIP provider may permit you to select an area code different from the area in which you live. It also means that people who call you may incur long distance charges depending on their area code and service.
Some VoIP providers charge for a long distance call to a number outside your calling area, similar to existing, traditional wireline telephone service. Other VoIP providers permit you to call anywhere at a flat rate for a fixed number of minutes.

If I have VoIP service, who can I call?
Depending upon your service, you might be limited only to other subscribers to the service, or you may be able to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. If you are calling someone who has a regular analog phone, that person does not need any special equipment to talk to you. Some VoIP services may allow you to speak with more than one person at a time.
What Are Some Advantages of VoIP?
Some VoIP services offer features and services that are not available with a traditional phone, or are available but only for an additional fee. You may also be able to avoid paying for both a broadband connection and a traditional telephone line.
What Are Some disadvantages of VoIP?
If you're considering replacing your traditional telephone service with VoIP, there are some possible differences:
• Some VoIP services don't work during power outages and the service provider may not offer backup power.
• Not all VoIP services connect directly to emergency services through 9-1-1. For additional information, see www.voip911.gov.
• VoIP providers may or may not offer directory assistance/white page listings.
Can I use my Computer While I talk on the Phone?
In most cases, yes.

Can I Take My Phone Adapter with me When I Travel?
Some VoIP service providers offer services that can be used wherever a high speed Internet connection available. Using a VoIP service from a new location may impact your ability to connect directly to emergency services through 9-1-1. For additional information, see www.voip911.gov.

Robots?...New World in the Future???

2009-01-27T19:05:00.000-08:00

As we all know that the rate of improvements of technology is accelerating, and the coming advances of computing power occur rapidly, isn’t it? So we can say that even someday in the future we become robots or shall I say we can mingle with robots... or something like that…

So given the incredible power of these new technologies, shouldn’t we be asking how we can best coexist with them? And if our own extinction is a likely, or even possible, outcome of technological development, shouldn’t we proceed with these new technologies with great caution?

New Technologies:

2009-01-08T19:09:00.000-08:00

Actually there are several changes that occur with regards to the development of our technologies today. And of course now, we have available on a range on a range of new technology topics and as well as several ideas of what will be the next and new technology to be produced. Since we live in a rapidly changing world. Technological advances are increasing productivity and income, quality of life, and of course life expectancy, isn’t it? Since then from that very reason alone we are now expect technology on which higher and greater approach that it can be for the concepts that it was being produced. And the truth is that technological development is focused on meeting the wants of rich consumers, isn’t it? So that is why slight attention is paid to the vital needs of people in the developing world. The arrival of new technologies often results in a wider gap between rich and the poor. Yet some innovations or shall I say new and next technologies fail to be applied in developing countries where there is really a real need. However, the vision of the new technologies programmed is a world where science-led new technologies deliver products which fulfill human needs rather than consumer wants. We respond into new technologies on which it aims to enable to assess and respond to the challenges of new technologies and to develop and adopt applications that improve their needs and as well as to their livelihoods. Such that it must have enable poor people to assess the opportunities and threats presented by new technologies, it identify and test potential opportunities for poverty reduction presented by new technologies, it must also ensure that policies, regulations and institutions as well are favorable to poor people and can be influenced by poor people themselves.

We have several new technologies that really affect the changes in our lives, and maybe examples of these are those technologies that get focusing on the energy technologies development, which really give a greater effects into our surroundings. I have focused merely on the energy technology since out from these, all of these will take effect on our environment seriously.

The results of our future changes in climate source cause significant challenges for society, not the smallest amount of which is how best to contribute, to observe and potential future impacts of these changes to which the world now is already committed. By this reasons, we should adapt and follow a process, since adaptation to this actions that we will made is a dynamic social process on which in our society today, it is very important, since our climate changes every now and then, so through this we should have the ability of societies to adapt and determine what we must do for our climate, in part, by the ability to act collectively. And actually by this, emerging our different perspectives for our climate changes on collective action and also for social community we have now, we should argue to have several insights from these areas inform from the nature experts and have also these normative prescriptions of policies for adaptation in all country especially those countries that provide energy sources for adaptation. Specifically, social capital is increasingly understood within economics to have public and private elements, both of which are based on trust, reputation, and reciprocal action. The public-good aspects of particular forms of social community are the very important elements for us to have as adaptive capacity in interacting with natural climate and in relation to the performance of institutions that cope with the risks of changes in climate. And actually, even several case studies are presented of present-day collective action for coping with extremes in weather in coastal areas in Southeast Asia and of community-based coastal management in the different areas. Thus, these cases demonstrate the importance of social capital framing both the public and private institutions of resource management that build spirit as an action in the face of the risks of changes in climate. These cases are by the nature of adaptation processes and collective action in adapting to future changes in climate.

The effects of observed and future changes in climate are very important and socially distinguished. The impacts of future changes will be felt particularly by resource-dependent communities through a multitude of primary and secondary effects cascading through natural and social systems. Given that the world is increasingly faced with risks of climate change that are at the boundaries of human experience, 1 there is an urgent need to learn from past and present adaptation strategies to understand both the processes by which adaptation takes place and the limitations of the various communities of change states, markets, and civil society, since then, in these processes. Societies have inherent capacities to adapt to climate change. Since through these means or ways, I argue that these capacities are bound up in their ability to act collectively. Although it is up to them since through their different decisions on adaptation are made by individuals, groups within society, organizations, and governments on behalf of society. But all decisions privilege one set of interests over another and create winners and losers. Thus, the effectiveness of strategies for adapting to climate change depend on the social acceptability of options for adaptation, the institutional constraints on adaptation, and the place of adaptation in the wider landscape of economic development and social evolution. Thus, individuals and societies have been at risk of climatic hazards and other factors, and this vulnerability can act as a driver for adaptive resource management.

The human race’s use of technologies began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The very concrete example for that was the prehistorically discovery of the ability to control fire, since then it increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in traveling in and controlling their environment. So thus, the recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and from them, this allowed humans to interact on a global scale. However, it does not mean that not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes, since there are so many aspects of useful technologies that were also being created like the development of weapons, thus these signifies that through technologies, it had been ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons. So therefore we can conclude it right away that this so called technology
has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways, isn’t it? And in so many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies including our today's global economy and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted it can maybe products, known as pollution, and diminish natural resources, to the damage of the Earth and its environment. But due to these several effects caused by the several technologies that we have now, still there are several of implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms. In fact it became a philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. And according to the articles that I have read that Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, claiming that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. And as for me also it is indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.

So as a general, this so called technology is the relationship that society has with its tools and crafts, and to what extent society can control its environment. Since then, it has several offers for as in our daily living as the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area and as well as, a capability given by the practical application of knowledge. In fact according Ursula Franklin, in her 1989 "Real World of Technology" lecture, gave another definition of the concept; it is "practice, the way we do things around here.
So in this scenario , it is the current state of humanity's knowledge of how to combine resources to produce desired products, to solve problems, fulfill needs, or satisfy people wants ; it includes technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. When combined with another term, such as "medical technology" or "space technology", it refers to the state of the respective field's knowledge and tools. "State-of-the-art technology" refers to the high technology available to humanity in any field.
Technology can be viewed as an activity that forms or changes culture. Additionally, technology is the application of math, science, and the arts for the benefit of life as it is known. A modern example is the rise of communication technology, which has lessened barriers to human interaction and, as a result, has helped spawn new subcultures; the rise of cyber culture has, at its basis, the development of the Internet and the computer. Not all technology enhances culture in a creative way; technology can also help facilitate political oppression and war via tools such as guns. As a cultural activity, technology predates both science and engineering, each of which formalizes some aspects of technological endeavor.

However we have also these so called the technological change as a significant effect that are being produced due to the fact that we are using those technologies we have now. So that is used to describe the overall process of invention, innovation and diffusion of technology or processes. The term is redundant with technological development, technological achievement, and technological progress. In essence this technological change is the invention of a technology or a process, the continuous process of improving a technology in which it often becomes cheaper and its transmission throughout industry or society. So as a technological change as in a social effects, it

supporting the idea of technological change as social effects are in general agreement on the importance of social context and communication. So due to this fact that, technological change is seen as a social process involving adopters and others who are profoundly affected by cultural setting, political institutions and marketing strategies.

So due to these strategies that are being implemented in the area of the technologies, we must have also prepared for this new technologies that we will be having in the future. Of course as we all knew that internet is the source of several knowledge in our new technologies today, and for me we must protect the openness of the internet: A key reason the Internet has been such a success is because it is the most open network in history. It needs to stay that way. We must strongly support the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet.

Although the development of technology is an inherently dynamic and cumulative process. Still it has a leaving aside social concerns, technological change is usually one of continuous improvement of existing technologies. We can even always make things better and faster. Thus we this dynamic, progressive element of technology makes it a unique human effort. Other efforts do not have this characteristic: and for me still we tend to have much work than this machines or shall I say these several technologies that I’m referring with, but still we can still say that even up to now, we can say that yesterday's computer is a real drag, on which technology represents humankind’s dream of continual progress maybe even creates the dream. Even there are several countries may be advanced technologically, but not in other human efforts such as equal distribution of goods and services and social justice. Since there are also primitive societies or prehistoric societies that still used in not advanced artistry and social relationships, but little technology as we think of it, isn’t it?? Thus, the notion of "progress" is a complex and can only be understood in the context of a given set of cultural beliefs and values. In recent years, concerns about the effects of technology on the labor force have been heightened by large-scale corporate downsizing programs and increases in wage inequality. Because these trends have coincided with a large increase in investment in computers, several authors have attributed them, at least in part, to skill-biased technological change; i.e., change that is “biased” by favoring workers with higher levels of education and skill over those with lower levels. This bias occurs because the introduction of a new technology will increase the demand for workers whose skills and knowledge complement that technology.

Therefore climate change is real, and the causal link to increased greenhouse emissions is now well established. This is a clear measure of increased frequency combined with high temperature in every part of the world. In my view, climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today--more serious even than the threat of terrorism. So as we can say that technology is constantly improving and has limited shelf life. The longer it takes to procure and develop a solution—the less useful the end results. Therefore it makes it all the more important to bet on technologies which have exhibited robustness, scalability, support and easier inter-operability. Thus we should acquire those several skills regarding the different technologies we have now. And update always our area or fields in which we are incline in to it. So by these several means, we should have updated our curriculum so that in times of technological changes that will be occurring, there are no means that we, the skilled ones have benefits in to it. Thus the power and knowledge make it as one.

Actions to Climate Change???

2008-12-25T21:00:00.000-08:00

The results of our future changes in climate source today cause significant challenges for society, not the smallest amount of which is how best to contribute, to observe and potential future impacts of these changes to which the world now is already committed. By this reasons, we should adapt and follow a process, since adaptation to this actions that we will made is a dynamic social process on which in our society today, it is very important, since our climate changes every now and then, so through this we should have the ability of societies to adapt and determine what we must do for our climate, in part, by the ability to act collectively.

Thus, these cases demonstrate the importance of social capital framing both the public and private institutions of resource management that build spirit as an action in the face of the risks of changes in climate. These cases are by the nature of adaptation processes and collective action in adapting to future changes in climate.

The effects of observed and future changes in climate are very important and socially distinguished. The impacts of future changes will be felt particularly by resource-dependent communities through a multitude of primary and secondary effects cascading through natural and social systems. Given that the world is increasingly faced with risks of climate change that are at the boundaries of human experience, 1 there is an urgent need to learn from past and present adaptation strategies to understand both the processes by which adaptation takes place and the limitations of the various communities of change states, markets, and civil society, since then, in these processes. Societies have inherent capacities to adapt to climate change. Since through these means or ways, I argue that these capacities are bound up in their ability to act collectively. Although it is up to them since through their different decisions on adaptation are made by individuals, groups within society, organizations, and governments on behalf of society. But all decisions privilege one set of interests over another and create winners and losers. Thus, the effectiveness of strategies for adapting to climate change depend on the social acceptability of options for adaptation, the institutional constraints on adaptation, and the place of adaptation in the wider landscape of economic development and social evolution. Thus, individuals and societies have been at risk of climatic hazards and other factors, and this vulnerability can act as a driver for adaptive resource management.

There are various scales and actors involved in adaptation. Some types of adaptation are undertaken by individuals in response to threats to the climate, often triggered by individual extreme events. Others are undertaken by governments on behalf of society, sometimes in anticipation of change but, again, often in response to individual events. Key vulnerable groups are often excluded from making decisions on the public management of climate-related risks. Poor households are, for example, forced to live in hazardous areas on the margins of urban settlements, which put them at risk of flooding, and are frequently ignored when the infrastructure is designed to alleviate such vulnerabilities. The space occupied by socially marginalized groups itself becomes invisible. The vulnerability of marginalized groups and their exclusion from decision making has been documented throughout the world, from Japan to the United States.

Therefore, adaptation processes involve the interdependence of agents through their relationships with each other, with the institutions in which they reside, and with the resource base on which they depend. The nature of these relationships has been central to human ecology and geography, microeconomics, and the anthropological and political sciences. Each discipline has theorized relations of trust, the nature of exchange relations, and the cultural significance of and institutional constraints on the use of the natural environment. But the different emphasis of each discipline has led to a little by little view of the importance of connectedness and networks and the role of institutions. Proponents of some economic and political science models have argued that institutions are merely an outcome of individual exchange and of the state’s provision of frameworks to provide stability for these exchanges. Advocates of structural approaches have contended that institutions are embedded in the ancestor decisions and cultures of the societies in which they appear. In resolving some of these problems, the concept of social capital appears to have purchase across the range of social sciences.
At its foundation, social capital describes relations of trust, and exchange; that the evolution of common rules; and the role of networks. It gives a role to civil society and collective action for both instrumental and democratic reasons and seeks to explain differential spatial patterns of societal interaction.

So with regards to the implementations of this adaptation measures as part of a response steps and strategies. We should formulate, implement, a national and, where appropriate, regional programmes containing measures to diminish climate change and measures also to facilitate sufficient adaptation to climate change. So cooperating with this is that, let us cooperate in preparing for adaptation to the impacts of climate change, develop and elaborate merely on the appropriate and integrated plans for the coastal zone management, water resources and agriculture, and for the protection rehabilitation of different areas around the world, especially to those countries that really need and affected by this global climate changes, such as drought, desertification, floods and this global warming or the so called the green house effect. Since through this adaptation to climate is the process through which people reduce the adverse effects of climate on their health and well being and take advantage of the opportunities that their climatic environment provides.

Cite for example, with greenhouse gas emissions a growing policy concern, and much more attention is being given to the potential for renewable energy to displace fossil fuel sources. So to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote technological development and diffusion of renewable energy, recent policies and proposals employ a broad range of incentives. And so, this category includes biomass and excludes trash and nonrenewable waste.

However, the response to this situations depends on how human societies develop in terms of demographics and economic development, technological change, energy supply and demand, and land use change. It describes new scenarios of the future, and predicts greenhouse gas emissions associated with such developments. These scenarios are based on a thorough review of the literature, the development of narrative "storylines", and the quantification of these storylines with the help of six different integrated models from different countries. The scenarios provide the basis for future assessments of climate change and possible response strategies. The report illustrates that future emissions, even in the absence of explicit climate policies, depend very much on the choices people make, how economies are structured, which energy sources are preferred, and how people use available land resources. And actually according to what I have read that the IPCC published previous greenhouse gas emissions scenarios in 1990 and 1992. The current scenarios introduce many innovative aspects, such as narrative descriptions of the scenarios, inclusion of information on the availability of energy technologies, and an analysis of international equity issues. This IPCC Special Report is the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art assessment available of greenhouse gas emissions scenarios, and provides invaluable information for industry, policy-makers, environmental organizations, and researchers in global change, technology, engineering and economics.

Therefore climate change is real, and the causal link to increased greenhouse emissions is now well established. This is a clear measure of increased frequency combined with high temperature in every part of the world. And as I have read that last year, Europe experienced an unprecedented heat wave, France alone bearing around 15,000 excess or premature fatalities as a consequence. Although this was clearly an extreme event, when average temperatures are rising, extreme temperature events become more frequent and more serious. In my view, climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today--more serious even than the threat of terrorism.

Some climate change can always be attributed to natural cycles and disturbances in the Earth's climate system, but we cannot explain the general warming trend over the last century without invoking human-induced effects. For instance, from the specific country like Philippines we modeled the effects on climate of such factors as volcanic eruptions and changes in solar output and compared these with the effects of additional greenhouse gases emitted through the burning of fossil fuels, land-use change, and industrial processes. Only the forcing from increasing greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations could explain the general upward trend in temperature, isn’t it??

Thus, this describes that the human activity has increased the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases by a greater percentage relative to pre industrial levels. At about this climate change in our society, today's atmospheric carbon dioxide level is higher than at any time in at least the past 420,000 years. Owing to the inertia of the climate system, it is already too late to stop any further warming from occurring. However, if we could stabilize the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration at some realistically achievable and relatively low level, there is still a good chance of mitigating the worst effects of climate change. For instance, current models suggest that stabilizing carbon dioxide levels could reduce flooding frequency along the most vulnerable parts of the community over the world and there are so many places, as compared with a scenario of continuing growth in consumption of fossil fuels.
Climate change is no respecter of national boundaries. We are attempting to show our initiative in order to contribute and to help for our environment, and especially also to many other countries.

Therefore we can say that our world today is really in changing atmosphere, since then we should uplift our minds in order to do an actions for the need that our environment will be saved. We must…

In Our Home – Conserve Energy

Clean or replace air filters on your air conditioning unit at least once a month. If you have central air conditioning, do not close vents in unused rooms. Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120. Wrap your water heater in an insulated blanket. Turn down or shut off your water heater when you will be away for extended periods. Turn off unneeded lights even when leaving a room for a short time. Set your refrigerator temperature at 36 to 38 and your freezer at 0 to 5 . When using an oven, minimize door opening while it is in use; it reduces oven temperature by 25 to 30 every time you open the door. Clean the lint filter in your dryer after every load so that it uses less energy. Unplug seldom used appliances. Use a microwave when- ever you can instead of a conventional oven or stove. Wash clothes with warm or cold water instead of hot. Reverse your indoor ceiling fans for summer and winter operations as recommended. Turn off lights, computers and other appliances when not in use.
Purchase appliances and office equipment with the Energy Star Label; old refridgerators, for example, use up to 50 more electricity than newer models. Only use electric appliances when you need them. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and energy. Keep your thermostat at 68 in winter and 78 in summer. Keep your thermostat higher in summer and lower in winter when you are away Insulate your home as best as you can. Install weather stripping around all doors and windows. Shut off electrical equipment in the evening when you leave work. Plant trees to shade your home. Shade outside air conditioning units by trees or other means. Replace old windows with energy efficient ones. Use cold water instead of warm or hot water when possible. Connect your outdoor lights to a timer.

In Our Home – Reduce Toxicity

Eliminate mercury from your home by purchasing items without mercury, and dispose of items containing mercury at an appropriate drop-off facility when necessary (e.g. old thermometers). Learn about alternatives to household cleaning items that do not use hazardous chemicals. Buy the right amount of paint for the job. Review labels of household cleaners you use. Consider alternatives like baking soda, scouring pads, water or a little more elbow grease. When no good alternatives exist to a toxic item, find the least amount required for an effective, sanitary result. If you have an older home, have paint in your home tested for lead. If you have lead-based paint, cover it with wall paper or other material instead of sanding it or burning it off. Use traps instead of rat and mouse poisons and insect killers. Have your home tested for radon. Use cedar chips or aromatic herbs instead of mothballs.

In Our Yard
Avoid using leaf blowers and other dust-producing equipment. Use an electric lawn- mower instead of a gas-powered one. Leave grass clippings on the yard-they decompose and return nutrients to the soil. Use recycled wood chips as mulch to keep weeds down, retain moisture and prevent erosion. Use only the required amount of fertilizer. Minimize pesticide use. Create a wildlife habitat in your yard. Water grass early in the morning. Rent or borrow items like ladders, chain saws, party decorations and others that are seldom used. Take actions that use non hazardous components (e.g., to ward off pests, plant marigolds in a garden instead of using pesticide). Put leaves in a compost heap instead of burning them or throwing them away. Yard debris too large for your compost bin should be taken to a yard-debris recycler.

In Our Office

Copy and print on both sides of paper. Reuse items like envelopes, folders and paper clips. Use mailer sheets for interoffice mail instead of an envelope.Use mailer sheets for interoffice mail instead of an envelope. Set up a bulletin board for memos instead of sending a copy to each employee. Use e-mail instead of paper correspondence. Use recycled paper. Use discarded paper for scrap paper. Encourage your school and/or company to print documents with soy-based inks, which are less toxic. Use a ceramic coffee mug instead of a disposable cup.

Ways To Protect Our Air

Ask your employer to consider flexible work schedules or telecommuting. Recycle printer cartridges. Shut off electrical equipment in the evening when you leave work. Report smoking vehicles to your local air agency. Don't use your wood stove or fireplace when air quality is poor. Avoid slow-burning, smoldering fires. They produce the largest amount of pollution. Burn seasoned wood - it burns cleaner than green wood. Use solar power for home and water heating. Use low-VOC or water-based paints, stains, finishes and paint strippers. Purchase radial tires and keep them properly inflated for your vehicle. Paint with brushes or rollers instead of using spray paints to minimize harmful emissions. Ignite charcoal barbecues with an electric probe or other alternative to lighter fluid. If you use a wood stove, use one sold after 1990. They are required to meet federal emissions standards and are more efficient and cleaner burning. Walk or ride your bike instead of driving, whenever possible. Join a carpool or vanpool to get to work.

Ways to Use Less Water

Check and fix any water leaks. Install water-saving devices on your faucets and toilets. Don't wash dishes with the water running continuously. Wash and dry only full loads of laundry and dishes. Follow your community's water use restrictions or guidelines. Install a low-flow shower head. Replace old toilets with new ones that use a lot less water. Turn off washing machine's water supply to prevent leaks.

Ways to Protect Our Water

Revegetate or mulch disturbed soil as soon as possible. Never dump anything down a storm drain. Have your septic tank pumped and system inspected regularly. Check your car for oil or other leaks, and recycle motor oil. Take your car to a car wash instead of washing it in the driveway. Learn about your watershed.

Create Less Trash

Buy items in bulk from loose bins when possible to reduce the packaging wasted. Avoid products with several layers of packaging when only one is sufficient. About 33 of what we throw away is packaging. Buy products that you can reuse. Maintain and repair durable products instead of buying new ones. Check reports for products that are easily repaired and have low breakdown rates. Reuse items like bags and containers when possible. Use cloth napkins instead of paper ones. Use reusable plates and utensils instead of disposable ones. Use reusable containers to store food instead of aluminum foil and cling wrap. Shop with a canvas bag instead of using paper and plastic bags. Buy rechargeable batteries for devices used frequently.
Reuse packaging cartons and shipping materials. Old newspapers make great packaging material. Compost your vegetable scraps. Buy used furniture - there is a surplus of it, and it is much cheaper than new furniture.

So through these several means, though it maybe the simple ways which we can contribute towards saving climate, but still it is a small steps in which each of us can make an actions towards global problems..so that is it...AMEN

Significant events in society to innovations in technology...

2008-12-15T19:44:00.000-08:00

The innovations of the different technologies we have now, had experienced its several developments before it develop merely and had become an important guide for businesses, amusements and communications and such many purposes. Since it provides a way in to all several kinds of needs that we want them to used, and so that is why it develops into a very popular and several innovations that became also its history for its significant events before they are developed. Very concrete examples are the technologies regarding the communications means. Specifically our future technology proposal which became our future technology project. This means that we chose the history of the telephony since it best describes the situation before it was being developed. And so going back to its significant events, I can relate that at the very early century, or as at the turn of the century before it was being developed, recognizing the several public and more competitive concerns, that those development regarding the telephony, especially I relate it with the very significant events that took occur during this era or period, that it was during this time that the Germany was battling violently in Europe, and it was during this time also that the World War Two hit the United States, that as we all knew that it really occur with the Western countries and as well as US that fight started suddenly. And so there are several Call volumes that increased dramatically after the Pearl Harbor attack. And then several of the telephone men were called into service by the thousands of people and officers. Western Electric shifted 85% of its work to war-related projects And Bell Labs cranked out several innovation Bell Labs cranked out several innovation Bell Labs cranked out several innovation to help in the war effort including a gun director and improvements in radar. And actually there are many regular home phone services that was being put on hold and those needing service were simply out of luck. So that is why after the war, thousands of phones had to be installed to catch up with the demand during this period of time. And of course, thousands of returning servicemen were put to work.

And for these several reasons it seems that it was during this late 1940s were a time of innovation. And of course it was also this period that the first commercial mobile phones were installed specifically in the St. Louis in the year of 1946, and then Microwave Radio also was being introduced for the reason that it is for the use in the long distance market and besides it is also used for the television services especially that it began in intensely in the said period of time. And of course during this period the scientists at Bell Labs invented the transistor and the course of history changed.
So that is why it become happens that many phones was being developed and produced since because of the significant events in the World War, especially the second World War, which trigger the different development or innovations regarding the Telephone Technology. The development of medicines, had done growingly since it provide many ways in order to cure several people in times of war. And with respect to the firearms technology, it innovates merely due to the fact that many countries had the goal to protect and conquer several countries. Since then out from this, the development of technologies for the different innovations of different technologies are the major features in the history of the human species. Although this development has generally progressed smoothly over time, we feel it is valuable to identify three significant points of rapid change or standard development. The first and possibly most revolutionary change was the invention of writing and its companion, literacy—the transition from an oral to a writing culture. The second was the invention of the printing press—the transition from hand-writing to the print culture. We are now in the midst of a third transition to an electronic or digital culture. A convergence of several technologies has created new systems for dealing with information that are potentially as revolutionary as the development of literacy and the invention of the printing press. The base for this transition was established in the period of the World War 2 with the invention of the digital computer and the development of information theory. It was empowered by the invention of the transistor and integrated circuit and has blossomed thanks to the connectivity provided by the Internet and wireless technology and the storage provided by
semiconductor, hard disk, and optical memory. The ever-increasing power of computer and communications hardware has been accompanied by ever more powerful software in the form of computer languages, operating systems, communication protocols, and search
technologies. It may be that most people feel they live in a time of major change, but history reveals that few actually do. Literacy was first an improvement and extension of the oral tradition and it subsequently created completely new systems for human uses of information. The printing press was first an improvement on the hand-written method of producing books and it then transformed the entire literate world and extended it to the masses. Today, the information age has produced a setting in which new information systems will transform not only the way we develop and exploit information, but also the way we interact with each other. So as an example of a new technology that is both a natural evolution out of literacy and the printing press and a revolutionary change or standard development out from these innovations of the technologies, since then the development of this covers a large span
of time, ideas, and history that provide a fairly comprehensive set of developments of the technologies that we have now. Digital computation, storage, and communication technology have enabled entirely new ways to create, organize, and exploit information. For example, as we have seen, hypertext breaks apart the linear sequential ordering of the book, giving both the author and the reader new possibilities, greater flexibilities, and more control. But merely publishing a book as a set of hypertext web pages is only the first developmental step along the way as the years passed by then. And as we can see that in this period time, we will see all modes of interaction with information changed, in particular not just how humans interact with information but also how they interact with each other. The print age has been based on paper books that are loosely inter-connected through a several systems. Books themselves are organized into libraries, the. Consider carefully the role that people play in this age. Most books are written by a single author or a small team, and authors are only loosely connected together into communities. A book’s readers are generally completely disconnected from one another. Moreover, the time scale of writing, editing, peer-reviewing, an updating is on the time-scale of years. Since time costs money, books are expensive. And besides we can describe the through this information age has innovate merely. The efficient one-to-many, one-to-one, and many-to-many communication links provided by the Internet and WWW are reinventing the book into a new information system that is
tightly interconnected, fast-paced, and inexpensive. The core concept is the idea of a digital commons, a vast repository of richly inter-linked hypertext materials that is woven and tended by a multitude of authors worldwide. In the digital commons, authors can form communities to collaborate and continuously improve, re-use, and re-organize the material in the commons. The community culture created by this system could have some of the attributes of the collective intelligence of many brilliant people like Levy, Engelbart, Licklider, Barabási, Weinberger, and others where the resulting whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The readers of the commons are also more tightly connected by communications technologies (email, discussion forums, chat rooms, blogs, wikis, and so on). Since then the humanity has a chance to reclaim its future. Not by placing its destiny in the hands of some so-called intelligent mechanism, but by systematically producing the tools that will enable it to shape itself into intelligent communities, capable of negotiating the stormy seas of change. And, in sharp contrast to the significant events often cited in the history events, this is a commons without a necessary tragedy; indeed, as its use grows, which holds that the usefulness, or utility, of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users will amplify its effect. These very important technology innovations had support the emerging digital commons. The first is a common technology framework for sharing
information.

Therefore I can conclude that the information revolution in which we live is the result of a cultural change that began roughly three centuries ago, a change as important as the political and industrial revolutions for which the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries are so well known.” We are now seeing this revolution reach a climax. I have concluded that we are
indeed in the midst of a major information transition of time on which that
will be as more innovations are developing merely . And for me, I want also to create a system or a setting in which this new world can flourish and be a positive contribution to humanity. I want it to be as close to the way the mind works as possible, while allowing future extensions beyond what we can now predict regarding new theories of learning, teaching, and discovery, as well as new information technologies. Since we are the people in the world on which we allow to design to be sufficiently open and flexible to allow for these future unknowns.

As IT Professional in the Future ???

2008-12-10T00:13:00.001-08:00

Each of us in this world has its own mental capacities that are so very vital part in out everyday lives, and this is very important in the field of technologies, thus knowing all about this it attempts to understand our intelligent entities because we merely know about ourselves. And because of this, several products are being developed or created, just like the development of such computers in many a sequence periods of time.

As what I have noticed for me especially today, that our technologies have gone so far especially through the development of those technologies with the help of the artificial intelligence. For me, I want to contribute several innovations with regards to Artificial Intelligence, since in this aspect it has contributed several dimensions of functionality and these are human thinking, activities such as decision-making, problem solving, learning so it is the reason why that the computers act run that way and it’s because of the effort of our artificial intelligence, just like for example the computational models that the computer can do, so because of all the so called artificial intelligence, we have encountered the product. I want to contribute and develop several innovations that would really trigger to the development of many products that would offer several purposes like:

To determine the actions of human, we have the so called the turing test approach, in this approach we may to know the behaviors as the ability to achieve human level performance in several cognitive tasks. It is a test in which a programming to a computer would need to possess the following capabilities:

1.natural language processing to enable it to communicate successfully in English (or some other human language), for me a concrete example for this can be the several programming languages that we human usually used.

2.automated reasoning to use the stored information to answer questions and to draw new conclusions;

3. Machines learning to adapt to new circumstances and to detect and develop patterns. Maybe with the help of the compiler of the different programming languages. I can develop like this, especially just like us that would offer this kind of products, just like different technical machines that manage and that can detect or even troubleshoot the errors, especially in several business machines.

4. computer vision to perceive objects, and robotics to move them about, example for this are the computerized objects and example for those are the robots that are manipulated by the computers.

As we all know that there are several programs that thinks also as human. I want to develop a theory that would really help. In the theory of human and AI technologies. Since, once we have a sufficiently precise theory of the mind, it becomes possible to express the theory as a computer program. If the program's input/output and timing behavior matches human behavior, that is evidence that some of the program's mechanisms may also be operating in humans, so example for this are the applications such as anti virus the device managers and so on. The difference is that AI and its
cognitive purposes continue to develop especially in the area of learning, because there are some aspects that also programs can have several developments especially that a nowadays there are many changes especially pertaining to modern technologies.
I want to use this kind of concept like artificial intelligence. So that I may perhaps develop or improve more especially in the area of speech technology and the related field of handwritten character recognition are that already making the transition to widespread industrial and consumer applications, that through this it improves the quality of life.
Another area that seems to have benefited from formalization is planning. I want to develop a technology that somewhat artificial intelligence has the one performs and operates to have a resulted outcomes in an elegant synthesis of existing planning programs into a simple framework. There have been a number of advances that built upon each other rather than starting from scratch each time. The result is that planning systems that were being controlled now by artificial intelligence, which are now generally often used for scheduling of factory work and space missions, and several other things.
I want to contribute also military put AI based hardware to the test of war during Desert Storm. AI-based technologies were used in missile systems, heads-up-displays, and other advancements. Since, this artificial intelligence has also made the transition to the home. With the popularity of this king of technology, the computers are growing, the interest of the public has also grown. And even several applications for the people, will be very great help and make them compatible to computers, such as voice and character recognition have become available.

Agents are the ones which perceive/observe its environment through the use of its sensors or any measuring device and consequently, providing actions through the so-called effectors that would in a way satisfy its goals and purpose based from what is perceived. For instance, as human persons we do have the senses of smell, taste, sight, etc. which act as sensors and further, we do have the various glands as well as hands, and legs which act as effectors. To provide for a more concrete exemplification, whenever we are in a room which is very hot/humid environment which our senses could certainly feel it, of course, the immediate response (using hands and legs, and other action-motors) that we normally do is to switch on a fan/air con to dissipate the heat that is occupying inside the room. As a second example, in a refinery/industrial plant, they do have the temperature and pressure sensors which are called thermostats (complex version of thermometer) and barometer respectively, whenever the temperature and pressure readings are not in conjunction with the desired temperature and pressure input, an inside controllers such as heater, coolers and heat-exchangers(temperature) and compressors and turbines(for pressure) are used as effectors so as to adjust and optimize what is really desired for optimum and good quality of products. However, the actions and effects do not end here; there is this so-called performance measure which determines how successful an agent is in satisfying or providing actions for its goals and purpose based from the perceived variables from the environment.
The above explanation has not been fully understood unless it is put in insides work. The job of AI is to design the agent program: a function that implements the agent mapping from percepts to actions. The program will run on some sort of device, which is so-called architecture. Generally, the architecture makes the observations from the sensors available to the program, runs the program and feeds the program’s actions to the effectors. To relate the terms agents, architectures, and programs

All intelligent agents have the same structure or skeleton, that is, accepting the percepts from an environment through its sensors and subsequently generating actions through its effectors. However, a simple version of agent programs use an internal data structure that will be updated or varied as new percepts are introduced, these data structures are operated on by the agent’s procedures to make an action choice, which is further passed to the architecture to be executed. However, there are things to be noted: though the skeleton program starts from percept sequences and then followed by actions, the agent program receives only one and single percept as its input and it is the choice of the agent as to store the complete percept sequence in memory or not.
The general environment program shows the relationship between agents and environments. The simulator takes one or more agents as input and arranges to repeatedly give each agent the correct and right percepts and receive back an action. The simulator then updates the environment based on the actions, and other dynamic processes in the environment that are not considered to be agents. The environment is therefore defined by the initial state and the update function.

The performance measure will depend on the complete sequence of environment states made during the operation of the program. Usually, the performance measure works by simple accumulation using either summation, averaging, or taking a maximum.

Run-Evaluate-Environment program returns the performance measure for single environment, defined by a single initial state and a particular update function. Here, an agent is designed to work in an environment class, a whole set of different environments. And in order to measure the performance of an agent, we need to have an environment generator that chooses particular environments in which to run the agent. This is subtly straightforward to implement for a simulated environment because it takes through the entire development of an environment and the associated measurement process.

Also this artificial intelligence technology has made steadying camcorders simple using this kind logic and concepts. With a greater demand for AI-related technology, new advancements are becoming available. Inevitably Artificial Intelligence has, and will continue to affecting our lives.

Another area of technology that I want to innovate assuming as I belong to an IT Professional, is in the area of civil engineering, architecture. Actually what arose me in this area, is that I want to correlate my computer knowledge in the area of architecture especially in the field of buildings, railways and etc. Since then, I want to develop a technology that will help in times of some weather problems like raining or even storms and to any weather catastrophes in life. I want that during this kind of sample situation. I want that there will be an area on which it will not be affected to any catastrophes affected above, which I mention earlier. Of course in this state I want them to them to be in convenient and some sort that they will no longer experience as bad as those natural bad weather. It just like making a Portal on which, you will be transfer to any region on which you will be living the same as convenient as before or even to some point of time, that you are even now living as in the happiest life ever experienced. Maybe through this I may help a lot of people if they have this kind of product, availing this kind of product make them feel and living a very enjoying life. Since then, it comprehends to their needs and in their daily living in this world.
All I want to develop is a development that is much related to artificial intelligence technology and architecture. Since I want to face the technology in a very futuristic manner, especially that I have learned the concept or the idea about the cyberpunk, I have learned things that classify its usefulness and being a futuristic developer someday, and according to my own understanding the idea we have now might be the experience we will have in the future. And those principles which actually covers all the idea, isn’t it??. And by having these sets of technologies we will have in the future marking the importance of it especially to our lives, I guess it really gives us a great advantage especially with regards to the materials, the privilege or the opportunity for the majority that anybody can participate with this so called AI-based and architectural technologies , since it is highly very compatible for us, therefore, it can really help us much, that with respect to the some materials we needed we have these benefits of having those, and these technologies are very helpful for us in our living.
These technologies we have today is also the futuristic idea in the past. So that is why all I can say is that anything that has been being imagined today for the future are very important for us, since without the existence of these sets of technologies I guess for me, we have all lots of problem that we will always encounter in our everyday’s life. And besides these made our living in this world more conveniently, especially in the field of Information technology and with regards to these aspects, I guess all things in these worlds relate with each other specifically in the area of our technology today, that as far as by now, and we are developing, moreover we are doing these things in order for the convenient of the majority. Thus acquiring our capability on knowing these things or shall I say these much known technologies give us a great help for us in our lives, and more especially in our industry also. So that is it, and as far as we know, these things are also being highly developed every step of the way, as time passed by.

Pacquiao vs. Dela Hoya! Who'll be the winner???

2008-12-04T05:34:00.000-08:00

Pacman vs. De la hoya, Who’s gonna to win?

Now, everyone is speculating on who will be bringing the bacon on the coming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya. On my own point of view, don’t put too much weight on it, im no expert, but based on what I read, Oscar dela hoya is way much stronger than Manny Pacman Pacquiao. Although Manny Pacquiao is faster (well, at least from his past weight division) we’ll have to find out if speed is better than strength, since Oscar Dela HOya will be much stronger based on other boxing experts’ opinion....For you???Pacquiao or Dela Hoya???...hmmmm...

well..well...well..let's find out!!! who will win???

Why we use technology today?

2008-12-02T23:52:00.000-08:00

The technology is growingly becoming a very important part in our daily lives. Since then, there are several purposes for those technologies that we have now, they are being used in home, school, college, employment, and many places or things here in this world.

We use technology in order to use it in our several tasks, these made our jobs much more easily and faster. Technologies also give us entertainment, it is so important to have some fun and of course things that will make us enjoy in our lives.

In our daily involvement in the society, there is always the involvement also of technologies, So that is why it is a solution that provides in our daily activity and of course also for entertainments, and without having these kind of thing in this world , there are many disorder things that may occur. And because of that, the is the reason why it influenced us to use this so called technology, its purposes.

Factors also that involve why technology always change are the ff:
*rivalry of several technology products (businesses, personal)
*new technology ideas being learned or experimented

And because of that, every now and then people are always developing those technologies. Since people are always learning everyday…

Cyberpunk

2008-11-26T21:49:00.000-08:00

 Originally, the term "cyberpunk" was used to describe a subgenre of science fiction.

 Cyberpunk science fiction is primarily concerned with computers and their interaction with humans

 A world built on one particular technology that is extrapolate to a highly sophisticated level (this may even be a fantastical or anachronistic technology, akin to retro-futurism), a gritty transreal urban style, or a particular approach to social themes

 The first and most influential cyberpunk novel is William Gibson's Neuromancer (Gibson 1984, 1995).
 In Neuromancer, Gibson describes a world of outlaw computer hackers who are able to link up their brains to computer networks and operate in cyberspace.

 In the late 80s, Cyberpunk escaped from being a literary genre into cultural reality. Media philosopher R. U. Sirius describes this process as follows:

 People started to call themselves cyberpunks, or the media started calling people cyberpunks.
 The first people to identify themselves as cyberpunks were adolescent computer hackers
 In 1988 cyberpunk hit the front page of the New York Times when some young computer kids were arrested for cracking a government computer file.

Cyberspace
 "new world" that Leary means is (virtual reality and - in a broader sense - all digitally mediated space), which he sees as a boundless reality where time, space and body are perceived as meaningless
 can help us to liberate ourselves from authority and "create our own realities”

Timothy Leary
 was one of the founding fathers of cyberpunk.
 In 1973, Leary predicted that some day the world would be linked through an "electronic nervous system" (the Internet) and that computers could be used to empower the individual

Activating regedit (Enable/Disable registry tools)

2008-11-26T21:48:00.000-08:00

The value:

The following values lock the registry editing tools when they are set to 1 (they are DWORD values) :

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools for the current user and

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools for all users (doesn't work on Windows XP though).

However, once one of them has been set to 1, you can't use regedit to simply remove them. So, here are 2 methods.

The methods

1. A reg file !

Tested and working on Win 2k, not working on Win XP.

You simply need to create and launch the following reg file :

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=-

2. A VBS (Visual Basic Script)

Tested and working on Win 2k and XP.

In notepad, copy/paste the following script, and save the file with a .vbs extension, then go to cmd.exe and run it :

'Enable/Disable Registry Editing tools

Option Explicit
'Declare variables
Dim WSHShell, rr, rr2, MyBox, val, val2, ttl, toggle
Dim jobfunc, itemtype

On Error Resume Next

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
val = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
val2 = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
itemtype = "REG_DWORD"
jobfunc = "Registry Editing Tools are now "
ttl = "Result"

'reads the registry key value.
rr = WSHShell.RegRead (val)
rr2 = WSHShell.RegRead (val2)

toggle=1
If (rr=1 or rr2=1) Then toggle=0

If toggle = 1 Then
WSHShell.RegWrite val, 1, itemtype
WSHShell.RegWrite val2, 1, itemtype
Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & "disabled.", 4096, ttl)
Else
WSHShell.RegDelete val
WSHShell.RegDelete val2
Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & "enabled.", 4096, ttl)
End If

Futuristic Telephony

The advent of telephony is a very interesting one. Since every now and then, through communication plays a very significant ingredient in our everyday lives. And several people were developing a device that would transmit and receive the human voice. Thus, this futuristic telephony provide features that will become far more versatile and use several different methods to get calls to and from subscribers - wherever they happen to be in the world.

Sample Images of Telephony:

Futuristic Telephony
Features:

----A combination of modern as well as traditional features of a telephone.Design to offer a unique experience to its users. The design is based on the hand gesture that people use to represent the telephone. There are two parts of this handset, one is earphone and another one is microphone. Therefore, the user has to use the iconic gesture while using the telephone. The modern part of this device includes the touch screen that shows the animated path to the user for dialing the numbers. Overall, this two-piece design is sleek, impressive and creates a touching interaction between the phone and user.

----Now you can have your telephone with a digital photo frame. It is equipped with touch screen where you can easily change your choice of background screen. Beautiful pictures of your family members, friends as well as your own pictures can be shown continuously on the screen of the frame. If you want to see picture of the person you are talking with, you can insert a photo for each number stored in the telephone. There is a USB attached to it which connects it with your computer. Change the color of the frame as per your need. Even if you miss a call, you don’t have to worry because pictures of the caller can be seen on the screen. It delivers a modern stylish look to your desk or wall and is very useful for a tech savvy.

These are just some of the several features of the futuristic telephony. ....

Chapter I
Introduction

Background of the Study

The World Wide Web had become an important guide for businesses, amusements and communications. Since it provides a way in to all several kinds of information we want, and so that is why it develops into a very popular search mechanism especially for the people, more specifically to teenagers or shall I say to the students. And in addition, it would also make the international information accessible at a very ease and in a convenient manner. With the use of those web browsers, a user views web pages that may include images, texts, videos and even other multimedia that finds the way between its contents using those hyperlinks. The web offers a place for all individuals to post information especially from companies, universities, other organizations and even to anybody, that can display about their services, products, facilities, researches and to even some information that may belonging to them privately. And of course, we can view it all with the use of those many web browsers.

But many years already had passed, there was a speed war on the web regarding on what web browsers had a better performance comparing to different browsers. These web browsers compete on many classifications, and these are with regards to the security, standards, support, features and speed. And most people are aware of which web browser fails on these classifications. There are really many organizations and users try to claim to that their browser is the fastest. The Opera site claims that Opera is The Fastest Browser on Earth! The Mozilla site claims that Firefox 1.0 empowers you to browse faster. Mozilla itself is quoted as being an alternative to Microsoft IE and it's faster to boot. Apple's Safari pages claim that Safari loads pages more quickly than any other Mac web browser, although they failed to show any results for Opera, and their charts fail to show results for pages that contain images. Internet Explorer also users often claim that they use it because of its speed, as the alternatives take longer to start and load pages.

These features, of course, are only some of the features that these different web browsers offer. With so many web browsers offering some of the same options and features, how do you choose which one is right for you? Well, the truth is that you don't have to choose just one. There are plenty of people who use more than one web browser when they are online, and there is no right or wrong decision to make when it comes to web browsing. It would be nice if they all offered the same features, and that way we could all stick to one web browser. Unfortunately, like all other companies the creators of the web browsers are competing to be the biggest and the best there is. Something that you can do is to think about the things that you do the most on the web.

And so therefore it was very an interesting speed comparison between popular browsers nowadays. The tested browsers are Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Opera and the Internet Explorer. Opera seems to be the fastest browser for windows. Firefox is not faster than Internet Explorer, except for scripting, but for standards support, security and features, it is a better choice. However, it is still not as fast as Opera, and Opera also offers a high level of standards support, security and features. So as we noticed there is still an intriguing part on which web browsers has a best performance with regards to basic features of the browsers especially with regards to those speed performance of the web browsers.
Significance of the Project

This project is intended for the web browsers users, it does not matter on what particular web browser application he or she had been used to. In using the internet, everybody experience or do several operations during our internet time with the use of those Web Browsers Application, they do actually have their basic operations and these are the downloading of pictures/videos or any kinds of file, and besides it has the operation also of having its uploading features, since we can upload several files using those different Web Browsers, and of course the very basic operation of the Web Browsers, which is the loading of different web sites. And with regards to these several aspects, it contributed a huge impact on the users as they go through the operations.

Thus, this project will benefit the web browsers users as well as to all other people in becoming conscious and wise about web browsers capability specifically with regards to its speed performance, in order for them to be more useful.

This project will help them to be more conscious on what particular web operations, the Web Browsers application is capable with, and by that reason the Web Browsers users have their maximization of their time and effort in using the internet through those Web Browsers, since time is very significant. Therefore we have to be in a realistic world on assessing the Web Browsers, to have much more time in order for us to be more productive.

Objectives

This project will developed Web Browsers Comparator software to find out the speed performance of the different Web Browsers application. Specifically, this project will compare the performance speed using those different Web Browsers with the use of Web Browsers Comparator software, and this is to compare with respect to the basic operations that we often use in the internet and these are the following variables: loading time, downloading time, and lastly its uploading time.

The specific objectives are the following:

1. To create a Web Browsers Comparator software and determine
the amount of time consumed by using those different Web Browsers, with respect to

a. Loading of web site/s
b. Downloading of file/s
c. Uploading of file/s

2. To compare on which particular Web Browsers Application has the best speed performance with respect to its loading time, downloading time, and uploading time.

Review of Literature

There are some researches that have examined a variety of issues related to comparisons of those different web browsers applications. In fact, there is really a speed war on the web, and browsers compete on many aspects. These maybe securities, standards, support, features, and of course speed. But most people are aware of which major browsers fail on either of the three of these aspects. But still one of them is still open for different web browsers users, and that is with regards to the speed.

• Based to Apple (2007) survey, a Windows version of its OSX web browser, Safari 3.0, claiming it is the “fastest browser on Windows”. The claims were based on the results Apple found iBench benchmark from (Ziff Davis, 2007).

• A Beta Browser Speed Tests by (Kevin Purdy et al.,2008), their test system has the same specs: And was performed each test on each browser three times and average out the results. It is meant to measure browser performance as real- load, click, and wait.
According to them, their tests was to compare each browser speed performance loading up “cold” load (straight off a system restart) and “warm” (having run twice already).

Speed Time-Winner: Chrome [Kevin Purdy et al., 2008]:
 3.81 second is about the limit for the FireFox 3.1 beta
 4.03 second is about the limit for the Internet Explorer 8 beta
 4.61 second is about the limit for the Chrome 0.2

• In some research conducted by the ZDNet (2006), according to them, they have test and analyze in order to have comparison between Internet Explorer vs Firefox vs Opera and Safari. And their own result was that Safari is the fastest with regards to loading of speed it is in HTML, CSS or XML. They have done this through with the use of a JavaScript benchmark. In the free article techtites.com they have stated that “In Browser Speed Comparison- Opera wins”, they have tested several browsers across MacOS, Windows and Linux, and for them Opera clearly won the speed performance. In fact in that article, it was stated clearly that “many users of Firefox will flame this article since they are putting down their favorite browser”. This clearly mean that, they are generally promoting their own products and have their own unbiased views, since there has none consistency with regards to the different web browsers application comparing their speed performance (ZDNet 2006).

• Another reviews from consumersearch.com (2008), and they have several reviews that indicate with regards to those different browsers. They indicate that the Firefox web browser is an ideal combination of performance and security, suitable for nearly anyone. Since even we, the people also praise its usability, for its convenient features, including the tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, download and password manager, and so there are vast number of users that uses also and appreciate mostly that the Firefox is the best all-purpose browser. But another thing also is that, though reviewers conducted reviews from the consumers of these browser products, there are several also that agree that Internet Explorer also is the most secure browser ever, since according to the free article in the consumersearch.com that Internet Explorer contains a URL parser in order to block malware, since considering that we have known, that the Internet Explorer is also the first browser. For these some researches that have been made during the past, they are also considering the specifications of the computer unit, they make sure that they have used the same equivalent specification on each web browsers, same amount of RAM on those browsers, on the Operating System environment, whether to have also this compatibility required by those web browsers application. Since every test is really very important in order to have comparisons in those browsers.

Of course, speed is not everything above all, since there are really many criteria in order to evaluate or to judge a those web browser application with respect to its security, usability, and of course to several supports also from those different standards, and in community development that focus on this IT industry, but still this makes a very interesting to have this speed reviews.

Analytical Framework

Independent Variable Dependent Variable

Moderator Variable

Figure 1.1 Schematic Diagram showing the Variable of the Project

In this section, I discussed the variables and theoretical framework of the study. This study composed of independent, dependent and moderator variable. The independent variable is the one whose value is selected by the software user on in order to determine its relationship with the dependent variable. The independent variable in this study, are those different web browsers that we have been used to. Dependent variable is affected is affected by the independent variable- effects or outcomes. The dependent variables are the speed performance of those web browsers specifically these are the loading time of the web site/s, downloading time of file/s, and uploading time of file/s. A moderator variable is a third variable that affects the relationship of the two other variables. The moderator variable is my Web Browsers Comparator software, the said variable is used to determine how those different web browsers applications vary to each other with respect to its performance speed. Thus, this software produced an outcome out from that web browser application.

Methodology

This chapter describes the methods to be used in developing my own research project. This includes project design, the project locale, and the data gathering procedures.

Project Design

The project will be performed in order to compare the different web browsers applications with respect to their speed performance for the sake that we can distinguish the capability of the web browsers’ speed performance. I will be using the method in the waterfall model so as to establish the processes in developing this web browsers comparator software, so that I can come up with the software that would really help me to satisfy my objectives to this project.

The software will provide the means in order for those browsers to have the actual comparisons with regards to the performance speed of the browsers.

Project Locale

The application of the project will be performed in the computer laboratory 2 or NODAL in the University of Southeastern Philippines located at the second floor of the College of Engineering building of the University of Southeastern Philippines, and in several computer shops that contain internet connection (internet café).
Expected Output

In each research project there should be an equivalent output or end result. And through with the use of this approach, it would primary focus on the several objectives cited. The primary objective of this research project is to determine of what particular web browser application has the best performance with regards to their speed, through comparing the loading, downloading and uploading with the use of those browsers.

The major result of this research project was to develop Web Browsers Comparator software in order to produce data in tabular form that would really help and distinguished the web browsers that has the best performance in those speed performance capabilities that cited earlier. And through with the use of this, I came up with software that compares those performance speeds of the different web browsers. Since it is very important to know on what web browsers application has the best speed comparing to some. And in addition, the software that I will be developing would trigger to several web browsers users to know, and to distinguish whether in what to choose what web browser they want to use satisfying their needs and wants.

And lastly, the software would automatically evaluate on what particular web browsers application has the best performance in different speed capabilities, through with the use of those several data being produce also by software.
Project Budget

In the lead of this research project, it could be taking for granted that there are procedures and successive information resources in the internet. And in sequence with this, I must have a direct focus of the several concepts and ideas regarding my research project. But before doing so, there are of course, a natural funding needed upon this research project for online cost, several expenses and fares.

Description Amount (Php)
1. Internet fees (700-1000 hours) 10,000.00
2. Printing and Photocopying Expenses 1,000.00
3. Other expenses (miscellaneous materials, food and drinks) 4,000.00
4. Honorarium 10,000.00
Total Php. 25,000.00

Web Browsers Comparator

2008-09-15T03:26:00.000-07:00

Hi, have a nice day to all, actually this is a comparator software in which it has the capability of having such features in order to compare such operations in many web browsers such as IE(Internet Explorer) , Mozilla Firefox,Netscape,etc...These web browsers do actually have their basic operations, and these are the uploading of pictures/videos,downloading pictures/videos,playing videos, and of course the very basic which is the browsing of web sites,etc.. The significant of this software is that it compares whether on what web browser has the best capability/performance with regards to specific operations , comparing also to some web browsers...ambot lng kung kaya ba nko ni iimplement..hehehe..that's all..tnx...

Actually this is a software that measures those time loading,uploading,downloading,and playing of video files using those different web browsers application...and that's what I want to determine, and result nkatabular data na (time ang unit) ...hehe...

My Research Derive From SONA

2008-09-03T05:45:00.002-07:00

From the SONA of our Pres. Arroyo, what I actually come into my mind was

the problem regarding our environment, education and the political stability.

1. Law of Environment

-> I want to implement a law regarding the cleanliness Philippine environment

in order for us:

- to be responsible of the each individual grime things

- to pursue with the act of "basura mo , itapon mo" scenario or else

caught will have a corresponding consequences like country Brunei

- to prohibit those abused users against the Philippine environment

- to strictly follow the obedience against illegal acts in the environment

- and of course generally to help our Philippine environment clean

2. Education Provider

-> I want to have a research regarding education most especially a means, that will give education, allowing them to be

educated especially to the youth, the future of mankind. having them to be

scholars in local or even in international...

- I want to create government department in order for them to be the one

responsible for educating the Filipino people through several

benefactors from local or international, most especially

the youth, our future hope

- to produce Filipino scholars who cannot afford going to school

- to provide education to the indigenous people

- to produce a talented, skilled Filipino people in order for them to be competitive

3. Form of Government (new)

-> I want to have a research, regarding the different forms of government

in the world and trying to compare what is the best suited in the Philippines,

in order for us to have development country...

- to identify the effects of having the forms of government

- to have a comparison of the different forms, and specifying what country

it was being implemented, including the state of the country

- to identify the advantages and the disadvantages of having that kind of form of

government

-and maybe we can try to produce a very nice form of government out from the mix of

those different forms of government

- and lastly to have a change in our system of government here in our country, since

we are very tired of having those very corrupted and very rude officials, that

made our country have so much problems especially regarding the issues of those corrupted properties of our country Philippines.

Article Review

2008-09-03T05:45:00.001-07:00

Actually there are many great articles that was being made by my own classmates, and for me I chose to review the article of Mr. Chris Jan Cane in Database Management System in Computer Science,for the reason that I am also interested with regards to these techniques and since then
this is also a very important article in order to have a proper management with regards to the databases,
specifically knowing the mere fact that DBMS is the heart of the system,isn't it?,and without having the
knowledge about this article I guess a great tendency to have many problems encountered in the system,
because also of lacking or even not having several ways on how to manage DBMS, Chris had said that through
the involvement of declarative networking,data management for wireless sensor network,probabilistic
data management and stream query processing , help to manage the entire database management system
,and besides through these techniques this helps to prevent or shall I say minimized certain problems
to occur in the system, and lastly it helps mostly on the operation of the DBMS especially that it optimized several
operations on DBMS queries and even its own components.So through this article, really gives a great help and gives a
great effect on the DBMS, and I think having a knowledge on these several techniques would really help us
a lot especially when we become software developers,system analysts,computer scientists,etc..someday..hehe

Key Factors For Publishing Research in Top-Tier Journals

2008-09-03T05:44:00.000-07:00

Publishing our researches is very challenging aspect, since in this aspect I can think of the solid methodology, an important topic, proper statistical analyses, good scientific writing, and etc. And for me in my own opinion, there is no gold formulation in order for the research to be published, in't it???.. What signifies is that, it the research is well done and important, then there's really a good chance it can get into a top tier journal. And I think for me these things that I have said were really the biggest factor to achieve researches be published in the top-tier journal..That's all..

Evaluating a Research Paper

2008-09-03T05:43:00.000-07:00

Evaluating a research paper whether is is good or not is very important aspect. First and foremost we acknowledge the research paper that is really good, however, before we classify the research paper whether it is good is that it must have possess several characteristics, first and foremost we must ensure that the research paper must have its thoroughness specifically with regards to its contents of the paper. Since we must implore that we are not only the one who make the research paper only understand the paper but we will also include the consideration that all reader also understand the paper we made. Thus, it characterize its accuracy and consistency of the information. Besides we must also allow the resources to give the acknowledgment to them especially giving credits to some of the resources of the paper involve in the information. So by these all, I conclude that a research paper is evaluated for me as a good research paper.

State of Computer Science Research

2008-07-01T00:08:00.001-07:00

The article go with the details on the spam over internet telephony and how to deal with it, on the said article this talk merely on the voice over internet protocol especially that in our modern society today we have several developments that we have experienced. Just like in this scenario, that we can have a essential communication means through voice using the internet or shall I say it is somewhat we call voice over internet protocol (VoIP) which gave benefits to us specifically at locality independence and besides it is only at low costs, isn’t it? However, due to this type of communication, there are also several disadvantages/problems that really happen on these services. First and foremost just like spammers, there are also spam that took happen on this event and that’s what we call spam over internet telephony (SPIT), since we are communicating through calls, right? But owing to these kinds of services, we can actually experienced an annoying scenario, since we can encounter disturbances by those spammers or shall I say voice attackers (callers) ex. Ringing your phone which classify as SPIT call . Thus, in correlation with these matters they studied on how to prevent those things, there are also several approaches that gave them a complex study especially with regards to the analysis as a counterpart on their problems, and of course they have developed many solutions, nevertheless there are also instances that can make their approaches to be weak or shall I say it is vulnerable that in a sense that it can make also as the disadvantages of those resolutions. So they have research not just for the advantages of the approach but also to the contrary of that. And I guess it requires a deep study in order to achieve those solutions as a counterpart on the said problem. These countermeasures that they have made were Device Fingerprinting, Passive Fingerprinting, Active Fingerprinting, White Lists, Black Lists, Grey Lists, Reputation Systems, Turing tests, Computational Puzzles,
Payments at risk, Intrusion Detection Mechanisms, Honey phones, and etc.. So indeed, i understood that in computer science researches there is what we call deep study, regarding with the topic/problem chosen, specifically that it is very essential also to understand the advantages and disadvantages of those aspects,isn\'t it?..
But before these things happen they have research numerous of technical topics that can really give a great help for them these technical topics are written below…

Internet Communications
Multimedia with Session Initiation Protocol
Web Engineering
Network Management/Computer Networking/Security Management

Report 1:

Can Cryptography Prevent Computer Viruses?

As what I have learned or understood, a virus is any kind of file that has an ultimate goal, this goal is to infect all types of file that are being read by a virus or computer virus. Knowing this type of goal of the viruses, several experts have of course studied and occasionally proposed also solutions in order to prevent this kind of treats that people in this world are encountering with the so called disturbing computer viruses especially that really affects the state of the computer system. In line with this aspect, they proposed and develop a kind of technique that will sort of prevent the computer viruses from continuing this kind of job, and them what we call it as “cryptography”. This cryptography technique requires or provides an encryption key and a decryption key. The encryption key is used in order that a sample file will change its original contents, and decrypt that do will do the vise versa, so that there are so called the security especially to the files, and of course to the systems that will really help the computers against computer viruses and to some related bad threats. Since a system can only be infected if so computer viruses tend to read all the files that he can be capable of accessing through it. So without knowing the encrypted key or the decrypted key, either, this will cause to virus to those files to not work, isn’t it? And with the reason for that either a virus analyst must have a very well or shall I say have a perfect cryptographic algorithm that will also fight against computer viruses, perhaps it must have also a “perfect design, architecture, coding and user interface “as said by Bruce Schneier. With all of that these facts, these will really require great study or analysis to be developed by several virus analysts in order that these kind of encryption algorithm will perfectly be great help for providing the security against accesses of computer viruses as well as threats. And therefore I concluded that cryptography plays a significant task in computer industry especially with regards to secured in togetherness against viruses and against general emerging up-and-coming threats.

Report 2:

Is Java still secure?

As we all know we have several encounters with regards to various threats and Trojan horses, isn’t it? and this is a problem which really affects the security aspects of the new Java features. So by these they have studied and researched the features of the Java specifically with the components of this Java platform, and by these reasons there are some problems especially to entrusted applets that may be possible to be loaded to Java script browsers. However, they have studied in order to create a hypothesis by this topic, and asking if Java still secure?.....In line with this question, their very concrete answer also to that question was definitely yes, since according to them especially for unsigned or entrusted applets, the Java security manager still enforces the same sandbox, this sandbox is responsible for controlling those entrusted applets to be loaded. And according to Mr. John Q. Badguy “there must also requirements before those treats to be loaded to the browsers”, and I have guessed this kind of requirements requires a very concrete needs especially as permissions, so that it must have the key applets in the intranet, and of course in order to have security configuration of those Java engines and will not really have various prospect to do it wrong in that Java engine as well as in the Web browsers, right? And so as a whole, this Java still provides a powerful and of course still secure active content against those entrusted treats.

Report 3:

The Future of Viruses on the Internet

This very present time, computer viruses are steady low-level frustrations. Every company knows that it must have anti-virus software, and that virus protection is an asking price of doing businesses, that is the very reason in order to prevent those viruses. This involvement of viruses has only one reason and that is in order to spread those infections in the systems that may wipe out the functionality of the systems. But before this happen those viruses that came also from the internet, as what we have knew that in several organizations that do centralized incident management and reports has of course anti-virus software well deployed, most incidents involve only one or two systems, and the virus is caught before it can spread beyond. So those viruses are just being disinfected automatically with the use of that anti-virus software. And of course when some instances really occur like for example new viruses are discovered, anti-virus software is also being updated to deal with them, and again on a sequence of weeks or nevertheless in months, and that is according to them and of course of what I have noticed, that really happens all the time. So by this these viruses are just like business by now that when the problems occur automatically there are also updates in order to give solutions on them. The Internet only serves/plays a comparatively small role of spreading of those treats/viruses and of course gives also some detection and gives preventions in order that these viruses will not be spread throughout the systems.
