...All the network providing companies in the world wants to see themselves ahead of all the other companies by providing value added serives to their customers at affordable prices. This trend leads to modify many technologies that are available now, and in those Next Generation Network(NGN) stands apart. Next Generation Network is a packet based network which is able to provide services including telecommunication services. NGN ables to make use of multiple broadband and QoS enabled transport technologies. The concept behind the implementation of NGN is that, one network that is capable of transporting voice, data and video by encapsulating these into packets, for example Internet. NGN has many advantages for the service providers like 1. It reduces capital expenditure due to integrated and efficient IP-based technology. 2. Increases revenue through increased wide range of services provided to the users. 3. Single network layer for management as it uses only one layer for voice and data networks. Advantages for Subscribers: 1. Reduced call charges. 2. As it is an open source , it gives the opportunity for the developers to create more programs for the users. 3. Single connection and bill for voice, data and video. Next Generation Network architecture will support a wide variety of services such as Voice telephony, Data Services, Multimedia Services, VPNs, Public Network Computing, Unified messaging, Information Brokering, Electronic Commerce, Call...

...and other objects with products like Zigbee, and iBeacon. Because GPS inside buildings is limited due to limited availability of satellites, moderate performance can be achieved with low cost Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.4 embedded devices. Other devices such as iBeacon utilize low energy Bluetooth connections to transmit messages. ZigBee location monitoring uses a mesh network to provide location monitoring in a variety of networks. Potentially, this technology could be utilised to track the movements of children and other family members in the house for safety. Technology like this can assist in monitoring children both inside and outside of the home. Notifications can be sent indicating that somebody has entered the home, movement within the home, or even periodic monitoring of specified rooms. These notifications can be sent to a smart phone or tablet with video and audio to provide a parent with information to conveniently monitor what is happening in many areas of the home. ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless standard that is used to designed physical and medium access control layers, while ZigBee technology adds network and application layer specifications on top...

...Pomelatto and Mass Customization Assignment After checking the Italian jeweler Pomellato's website and doing some research about what the company has been doing in terms of mass customization, a few worth mentioning points can be made: Italian jeweler Pomellato is revitalizing the image of three of its classic ring designs with art-house films meant to display the brand’s emotion and dedication to creativity. Pomellato’s “Icon Movies” film series pays homage to the jeweler’s Nudo, Capri and Sabbia collections and shows both the personality of the filmmaker and his subject. Outsourcing creative initiatives to young talent can help a brand acquire new enthusiasts by positioning its products in front of younger consumers. Paula Rosenblum, managing partner at RSR Research, Boston, thinks that it is all about keeping the imagery of the jewelry timeless, yet up-to-date. In the case of Nudo, for example, you have fresh talent with echoes of Madonna and the Rolling Stones, which is pretty contemporary to Pomellato’s beginnings. In its own way, in Capri, we see a lot of similar concepts, a memory of past special moments with the ring as the reminder; all interpreted by young, interesting talent. Finally, in Sabbia, we seem to go all the way back to the start of the universe and a reminder that matter existed long before we, as human beings, did, and likely will go on after us. Ms. Rosenblum, an industry expert, stated that Pomelatto, acquired by luxury conglomerate Kering...

...than a luxury, the need for lightweight, low-cost, and high performance satellite terminals has driven the evolution of ground segment equipment, for which flat panel antennas (FPAs) have emerged as the most popular innovation in recent years. The limited speed and large size of mechanically-steered and the 1st generation of electronically-steered flat panel antennas drew many to wonder if the Holy Grail of the satellite world – a cost-competitive, electronically-steered flat panel antennas with an ultra-low profile- would ever be within reach. But the journey to this goal has been a long, difficult one because of the many desired features of such a product as depicted in the figure below. NSR has often noted the tremendous increase in satellite mobility bandwidth demand has driven many operators to add new HTS systems and constellations to meet this demand. But at the same time, the industry metric has put more emphasis on cost-efficiencies, which is where NSR expects flat panel antennas (FPAs) to play a key role in this transformation. As service providers look to provide more bandwidth at lower cost to end-users, falling capacity prices, next generation modems with beam switching capabilities, and better software are icing on the cake of the HTS capacity onslaught, in which FPAs are a perfect fit. In NSR’s recently released Flat Panel Satellite Analysis report, both the mobility and fixed satellite side of the business were analyzed, and commercial aeronautical...

...are differences in certain characteristics described by both authors. Galarza’s essay focuses on an immigrant point of view arriving into Sacramento versus Didion’s experiences as a native decedent of Sacramento. Joan Didion’s Sacramento is a very different place compared to Ernesto Galarza’s , for him it’s an immigrant place where Mexican, Yugoslavs, Chinese and many other different cultures come together to make one home. For Joan Didion, Sacramento is a place that with the pas of time and the changes that has come with time, have forced memories to be lost and most importantly identities. Didion highlights the true nature of Californian lifestyle and how with its gradual disappearance more than the past is being lost, but a new generation is also losing an understanding of its true roots, its true history and as a result a loss of knowledge. The loss of knowledge is equivalent to the loss of identity because if one doesn’t know where they came from how one can truly know who they are. Didion talks about her own experiences as a child in Sacramento and adulthood. She compares how much Sacramento has changed since she left. For example, in her essay Didion observes the changes in Sacramento beginning with the introduction of industrialization; she mentions that prior to modernization, Sacramento was nothing but an isolated land mass and with the discovery of gold Sacramento abruptly developed into a town and later on a city. Didion...

...The Contribution of Enterprise Systems An enterprise system is classified as a system of integrated application-software packages that use data storage and transmission to support the flow of information, reporting, and analytics in the company as well as in some cases it is used outside of the company by colleagues and clients. Enterprise systems manage the flow of information relevant to those within the company as well as those outside of the company that have permission to access certain information. If a company has multiple lines of products and information that is relevant to all products such as statistical data that needs to be shared with all people within the company, an enterprise system exists to enable the sharing of information. An enterprise system provides as single system central to the organization which ensures that the information can be shared across all management and functional levels Enterprise systems are also invaluable with elimination of problems with information fragmentation which can be caused by having multiple information systems in an organization. It does this by creating a standard data structure. Typical information systems are housed in data centers and would run enterprise software as well as include application such as; content management systems that would cross organizational borders. Enterprise systems provide value for increasing operational efficiency, as well as provide wide information to help managers make informed and effective...

...Androids and the Mind/Body Problem In a Star Trek, episode of The Next Generation, Captain Picard of the enterprise is left with the job of defending an android by the name of Data, whom believes he has the right to say no to a direct order for him to be disassembly by the Commander Bruce Maddox. Although Data is an Androids which basically is a machine, Picard defends him using the dualism theory. Picard shows that Data has two aspects, he is a machine but like humans Data processes a body and mind, which are not identical even though his mind is program he is able to make decisions on his own. I think Data is a perfect example of the dualism theory; he has the elements which are mention above, so many philosophers have debated whether there is such a thing as a soul with Data Picard did not need to establish that. Data is the perfect display of the Mind/Body problem, the issue between mind and matter, whether he is a person or property. Picard saw an entity that had a body and mind, an entity with the dualism theory; having both a body and mind wouldn’t that make you a person? I would think a body and a mind that can function on its own would be considered a person. Commander Bruce Maddox saw Data as machine, he saw him for what he was built to be, and to do serve mankind. To the Commander Data was an object. I see the Mind /Body problem Commander Bruce Maddox was having; in fact some of those problems would have worked in his...

...Centers To keep up with the amount of information, businesses need to invest in larger data centers. Many businesses find it more economical to outsource their data center needs. * Dozens of mega data centers are being constructed around the world (mega data centers typically cost hundreds of millions of dollars and consume acres of properties) * One of the largest recently constructed was by Next Generation Data for USD$301 million dollars Next Generation Data is specialist in the operation and on-going management of mission-critical environment, offering flexible low cost data center solutions. Next Generation Data is first choice for corporate because it provides: * Size, scale and flexibility * High quality infrastructure * Multiple layers of security * Abundant power (180 MVA available to site) * Costumer service & support Evironmental Impact The increase in data center construction is a concern for the environment because of their energy consumptions for the processing, storage and cooling require. For example: The Next Generation Data data center outside Newport has its own energy subtraction that provides 90 MVA of electrical power. That’s roughly equivalent to the requirement of a city of 400,000 people. A number of efforts are underway to counter attack the growing demand for data centers. * Hardware manufacturers are producing servers that are efficient, requiring half the energy as their predecessors to do twice the work...

...Technology: It’s Effect on Our Youth Growing up I remember playing outside all day, enjoying the outdoors, and riding bikes down the dirt roads, trying to find some new adventure to get into. Looking around now, I notice teenagers glued to their phones when they are out eating, walking around and even while driving. It seems like a lot has changed since I was a child. Technological advances have made our way of life easier by making communication faster than ever before, improving production rates, and making it easier to access information. However, with the good also comes the bad. I have noticed an increase in the time children spend inside, as opposed to outdoors, the changes in behavior of children and teenagers, and the decline in personal interaction. I believe that technology, if not used in moderation, could have a negative influence on our youth. I have noticed the significant change that has occurred in technology in just a generation’s time. As a child, I remember when people were purchasing their first personal computers, usually for everyone in the household to share. These computers were not nearly as fast and advanced as computers are today. Now, nearly every home in America has a personal computer, laptop or some other way of accessing the internet, like a smartphone or tablet. While access to the internet can help educate children if used in an educational way, misuse of technology, like playing violent video games, could cause a setback...

...from the older generation. In William Faulkners’ story “A Rose for Emily”, the nonlinear narrative indicates that time will aid in the development of the story as well as the characters. However, a close look at the manipulation of time, suggests that Miss Emily, herself will come to represent time and change in her community over the decades. The tension between the new generation and Miss Emily indicates her inability the grasp the realism of time. William Faulkner uses progressive time shifts to compare the past and present and their influence upon on another. Miss Emily made an agreement with Colonel Sartoris to not pay taxes because her father had loaned the town money. When the next generation came into office, “this arrangement created some little dissatisfaction” (Faulkner). Miss Emily failed to respond to the tax notice that was sent to her by the new aldermen and mayor. She believed that the new generation should honor the non-official agreement set forth by her and Colonel Sartoris and “perhaps one [of the new aldermen] can gain access to the city records and satisfy [themselves]” (Faulkner). After a non-successful visit to Miss Emily house to collect her taxes, she puts the gentlemen out of her house because she still believes she “has no taxes in Jefferson” (Faulkner). Miss Emily struggles to conform to the ways of the new generation. Through the progression of the story we continue to see Miss Emily inability to accept change and the new generation. The “newer generation...

The conflict happening in The Bonesetter’s Daughter revolves around all of the mistakes the family has made leaving them worried causing them to try to prevent the same mistake from occurring again. They are too fearful to even close their eyes because they fear their future generation will make the same mistake causing pressure to the children resulting in extreme and horrendous conflict. The conflict is crucial to the whole story because it shows character development, feelings, and how it sculpts the characters as a whole. Mistakes don’t explain the past, but tell the future instead “[y]ou should think about your character. Know where you are changing, how you will be changed, what cannot be changed again” (295), as Precious Auntie says this she explains that the mistakes made do not define them but the changes which are made from the mistakes do . The young family has had mistakes done by conflict for generations the main conflict began between LuLing and her real mother, Precious Auntie this is conveyed by displaying that LuLing's nursemaid, Precious Auntie, left with no voice after the suicide attempt that destroyed her face, is superlatively gifted in calligraphy and drawing.

...jargon, futuristic technologies, and the ethical issues that are presented throughout the show. Although it seems unrealistic that a science fiction entertainment franchise may teach us about present day life and endeavors that we may encounter in the future, Star Trek successfully does exactly that throughout it’s many television episodes and movies. In ”The Measure of a Man" (season 2 episode 9) and "Ethics" (season 5 episode 16) from Star Trek: The Next Generation, some of the most evident characteristics are the issues we may encounter in both robotics and the new technology in the medical field. Through the situations the humans, Klingons, and androids encounter on the Starship Enterprise, we are able to see the different opinions people have around current and future ethical issues. As intelligent technologies and robots quickly advance and become more apparent in our everyday lives, we must have a good understanding of what rights these technologies have and in what just ways we are able to use them. Star Trek: Next Generation does an excellent example of presenting this issue in “The...
