...global community and large multi-national conference centres have to cater to all nationalities. Having this in focus, Suntec Singapore has implemented Digital Congress Network in their conference halls, where a team of interpreters sits in an adjacent room or sound-proof booth, listen to what the presenter is saying, through headphones, and translate everything into fourteen other languages. Their voice is then picked up by a microphone that transmits the sound signals to Infra-Red translation receivers, via infrared panels placed around the conference room. They use invisible light waves to distribute the signal throughout the hall. As the convention centre has several conference halls, using infra-red receivers rather than FM receivers ensures that the sound signals do not leak into adjoining halls as infra-red signals will only work if the receiver is pointed at the panel. Since there conference hall doesn’t have any obstacles or columns, there is no recognizable drawback of using infra-red receivers. For a conference centre, it is important to have the right seating system. Suntec, therefore, has employed portable seating system, which is easy to set up and retrieve. Not much is described about the ergonomics of the seating system, but in light of the recent developments, it should be easily adjustable and comfortable, so that each person can personalize it to their own comfort. Good comfortable seating for meeting and conferences ensures more participation and less bickering...

...earlier moment in the week had been really tense. The previous Monday, 09:00 PST: an intense brainstorming teleconference between the offshore team in Bangalore, and Todd. The client, a media and entertainment giant in the US, has had a sudden change in requirement. Prasad, the delivery manager, points out, “Todd, given the new emphasis for an open architecture, we will have to replace the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) module with one based on XML standards.” Todd queries, “That sounds tricky. Can we start on a new module at this stage and still meet the deadline?” “Yes, but we will need our teams of EDI and XML experts working on it simultaneously both from India and the US,” says Prasad. After a week of late night and early morning conference calls, the Infosys team has conceptualized and developed a simple and effective solution. The client thanks Todd, “Your solution delivers just the interoperable architecture we wanted.” Todd conveys the good news to Prasad and then heads out to celebrate with his team. A short while later, he drives home battling the dense LA traffic. After a tense yet fulfilling week, he is really looking forward to whale watching during his weekend sail!

...The American Experience Since 1945 HIS The Vietnam War The Vietnam War was a Cold War military conflict started in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The war was from November 1, 1955 to the fall of Saigon on the 30th April 1975. Right after the Vietnam War the first Indochina War was fought between North Vietnam was support by it communist allies and the South Vietnam, was support by the United States.("The Cold Warrior", April 9,2010, p. 1) Student unrest draws a lot attention when the war started; during Vietnam War the draft took place for the first time since 1942. There were two viewpoints in 1960 that evolve. One group felt Vietnam was for a purpose and we should stay until the job was done. The other side felt it was such a burden both socially and economically that United States needed to get out of Vietnam.(Ryan, 2008, para. 1) The Baby Boomers both men and women were eligible to be sent off to fight in a war that was a conflict begin question for the American involvement. Students that could afford going to college went after college they would then be eligible to be sent off to Vietnam. To protest the war large demonstrations took place on college campuses. This was an incentive to protest the war and tried to put a stop to it before they could be drafted. The young men who could not afford collage were outnumbered by the upper class and middle class. The war was long a drug out war as the resentment grew so did the financial cost. With the...

...Before the United States became militarily involved in defending the sovereignty of South Vietnam, it had to, as one historian recently put it, "invent" the country and the political issues at stake there. The Vietnam War was in many ways a wild and terrible work of fiction written by some dangerous and frightening story tellers. First the United States decided what constituted good and evil, right and wrong, civilized and uncivilized, freedom and oppression for Vietnam, according to American standards; then it traveled the long physical distance to Vietnam and attempted to make its own notions about these things clear to the Vietnamese people—ultimately by brute, technological force. For the U.S. military and government, the Vietnam that they had in effect invented became fact. For the soldiers that the government then sent there, however, the facts that their government had created about who was the enemy, what were the issues, and how the war was to be won were quickly overshadowed by a world of uncertainty. Ultimately, trying to stay alive long enough to return home in one piece was the only thing that made any sense to them. As David Halberstam puts it in his novel, One Very Hot Day, the only fact of which an American soldier in Vietnam could be certain was that "yes was no longer yes, no was no longer no, maybe was more certainly maybe." Almost all of the literature on the war, both fictional and nonfictional, makes clear that the only certain thing during the Vietnam War...

...at the Potsdam Conference in 1945. 4 marks One decision made at the Potsdam conference was that Germany would be divided into four zones which would be occupied by one of the four allies. Berlin would be divided up in the same way. They agreed to give the USSR a quarter of their industrial equipment because the Soviet zone was less developed industrially. However, the soviet zone had to provide the other three zones with raw materials. Explain the importance of three of the following conferences. 15 marks * The Teheran Conference 1943 * The Yalta Conference 1945 * The Potsdam Conference 1945 * The development of the atomic bomb The Teheran Conference was important because it shows strains in the relationship of the Big Three and the lack of trust between them. It took pace in 1943; this is significant because it meant that the allies were bought closer as they had a common enemy. The allies had agreed to create a UN organisation after the war ended. This is important because it would maintain peace between European countries and prevent a Third World War. However, there were also some disagreement during the conference. However, the allies had delayed opening the second front in Poland. Stalin believed that the west was waiting for the USSR army to be badly injured. This is important because it shows the suspicion between the allies. The Yalta Conference was important because it was the last meeting of the Big Three. During the conference, Roosevelt has...

...(TSHA) Here are some facts about The Guadalupe River, which runs from the Texas Hill Country to the Texas Coastal Bend. The Guadalupe River can be found rising in two forks near western Kerr County. The South Fork rises about three miles southwest of the crossing of Farm Road 187 and State Highway 39 then runs northeast for another twenty miles to meet the North Fork. The North Fork begins south of the State Highway 41, from the Real-Kerr county lines, and runs east meeting with the South Fork, near Hunt, Texas. After the two branches join, the Guadalupe River proper flows southeast for 230 miles, passing through seven Texas counties. The river then has a long journey to the mouth of the San Antonio Bay. The Guadalupe's principal branches are the Comal and the San Marcos rivers. Along and near the river, high limestone bluffs support bald cypress, mesquite, and grasses some other features are the natural rapids and small water falls. Trees in lower elevations and bottomlands include sycamore, elm, basswood, pecan, walnut, persimmon, willow and hackberry. In the uplands away from the river, the limestone terrain is typical of the Edwards Plateau. Oak and juniper woodlands fill this area, with some grasslands. The Balcones fault line, near New Braunfels, marks the switch to the coastal plains. (TPWD) An area of virgin Ashe juniper woodlands provides nesting habitat for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler which is also known as the Gold Finch of Texas (American Bird Conservancy)...

But somehow Bo Jackson managed to be one of the greatest athletes of all time, to find great success in both football and baseball. Bo Jackson didn’t have it easy growing up, considering it was a family of ten. His Mother gave him the name Vincent Edward Jackson but later nicknamed him after a wild boar “Bo”, as he would constantly get into trouble. There family didn’t make the most money but it was enough to live off of for Bo and his family. He attended McAdory High School in McCalla where he rushed for one thousand one hundred and seventy-five in his senior year. He hit twenty home runs in twenty-five games. That’s outstanding. But what else did he do? Well in high school he was the two-time state champion in the decathlon. He also went on in his senior year to set a couple of records. But remember Bo Jackson’s Lupo 3 grades helped him get into college and for an athlete like him his grades were good. His family again did not have a lot of money but just enough to get by, living in Bessemer, Alabama was not a great city but it was reasonable for the money they made.
