Have you ever lost something? Im sure you have. It can be so infuriating! You lose so much time and energy looking for it!
Sometimes you eventually find the missing item after quite a bit of searching. Other times, it remains a mystery as to whatever happened to it. Sometimes you find it accidentally months later.
Wouldnt it be nice if there were an easier way to find things without the tedious searching? Thanks to an obscure science called radionics, there actually is a way to do this. But before I explain the method, I need to give you a little background information so you can understand how this could work.
Revolutionary advances in science sometimes take decades to trickle down to become useable devices and techniques. This is because our consciousness needs to evolve so we can believe and understand these new truths.
One such new truth is called quantum physics. It used to be the mark of a true geek to say you understood it. But, thanks to two recent movies, What the Bleep Do We Know? and The Secret, this is no longer the case. What weve learned from those movies is that the outside world affects us in all kinds of subtle ways and that our own internal world affects the outer world in various subtle ways as well. Quantum physics teaches that this is because the observer is not separate from the observed thing or event at the quantum level.
Now that was a mouthful! The science of radionics grew out of quantum physics as a way to make it accessible to us. You can learn lots of good facts about radionics at www.wikipedia.com. But lets see how these principles actually work when we use a little radionics device called the SE-5 Plus.
The SE-5 is an advanced yet simple-to-use radionics instrument that looks like a small, portable, hand-held computer. It can be used to demonstrate all kinds of nearly magical processes such as finding lost objects or people. Remember, according to quantum theory, we are not really separate from those lost things in the first place.
The SE-5, like most radionics-type devices, is used to test things. It has a special interface called a stick plate. You rub it with your finger, and when it feels extra sticky then you know youve got something.
The other unusual feature of radionic instruments such as the SE-5 is a special slot in which to put a picture of an object or person. In our example here, you put the picture of the object or person that is lost in that slot so the machine knows what youre looking for.
Although the full procedure is a bit more involved, the gist of it is to scan the edges of a map with the small SE-5 device feeling for when the stick plate feels sticky. After scanning both axes of the map, you follow the latitude and longitude lines to determine the intersection of the two sticky places on the map. Thats where the lost person or object will be found.
To some this may sound far fetched, but it is amazing how well this procedure can work.
Of course, its unlikely that you have either a photo of most lost objects or an actual map or blueprint of the building or outdoor area where you expect to find the lost item. The amazing thing is that you can draw your own map and even draw a picture of the lost object and label it, and the procedure works just as well. Try it for yourself and end the frustration of looking for things!

Have you ever walked into a house or room that felt really bad, or gave you the creeps? The space had nothing obviously wrong but you just couldnt wait to leave? You may have picked up on the bad vibes or subtle negative energies in that space.
This gut reaction to the negative energy in a space may be especially obvious if you travel a lot, especially in places that have a lot of history, like in Europe. Everyone has heard of houses that are said to have ghosts, but you can also feel leftover negativity in homes or rooms where there have been arguments or marital discontent, or just a very negative, angry person. It is also said that some outdoor areas have battlefield energy where people have been injured or killed in the past.
There is a science that deals with these subtle energies called radionics. Radionics can be used to balance out and remove the negative energy that gives a space its bad vibes feeling. You can find lots of information about radionics at www.wikipedia.com.
The science of radionics has advanced and with it the equipment it uses. Radionic instruments used to consist primarily of a stick plate and a number of dials on a panel. There is one such advanced device, called the SE-5 Plus, in which the dials have been replaced by a small portable computer. This computer replaces tedious dial turning. Its also convenient to carry or pack in a suitcase, as it is small and can be held in one hand.
Although the procedure to clear a space of negativity can be done with most radionics devices, the SE-5 Plus makes it quite easy because the computer is programmable.
The procedure requires a Polaroid photograph (a Polaroid camera is included with the SE-5) of the building or place that needs to be cleared. For example, if you arrive at your bed and breakfast after a long day of travel and your pretty bedroom has a weird feel to it, just stand in the doorway and take a quick photo of the room. Then you program the SE-5 Plus with the appropriate phrases that set the intention to clear the space.
You can program the SE-5 for things like:
Remove Negative Emotions
Remove Fear, Depression, Disagreeable Mental Conditions
Remove Aggravation
Remove Anger
Remove Anxiety
Remove Negativity
Remove Claustrophobia
Remove Dark Psychic Forces
Remove Discomfort
Remove Negative Entities
Once you set the program up, you can set the computer to do the re-balancing. You should notice an improvement within a matter of minutes if youre in the area thats being cleared. You can also clear an area you are not physically present in. Thus, you can do long-distance clearing for a family member or friend.
Thats all there is to it!
Don Paris, Ph.D. describes himself as a quantum shaman, having studied, worked and taught for many years. If youd like to learn more about radionics and the SE-5, go to Radionics, where you can find lots of info about how and why this technology works for clearing negativity.

Under Future-Concepts
That time has come when discrimination with reference to communities, social status, gender and nations, will come to an end. Entire world humanity will live like brothers and sisters.
-ARTHUR CHARLES CLARK
If in a particular country, if one or two court cases are fought, people will be amazed as to whether there is any individual who is full of hatred, cunningness and enmity. At that time there will be no racial difference or gender discrimination. A human religion will be established in the entire world. Today all nations have joined hands to establish the United Nations Organization in America. A time will come in the future when a United Planetary Nation will come into existence. Its capital could be any of the planets like Earth, Jupiter, Mercury etc. or another region outside our solar system. After having said this, definitely human values will gain a firm foothold in future. That day is very near when all planets, galaxies etc. of the cosmos will unite as one nation. It is akin to what we see today wherein our earth has more than 100 nations. All these planets, galaxies etc. will live like cooperative, friendly neighbours.
The above quotation is not some imaginary story of Panchtantra or an imaginary incident of the journey of Ashwamedha horses. In fact this prophecy was made by a great prophesizer of America called Arthur Charles Clark, when he received the international award called Kaling Prize. Previously too he had given many prophecies and majority of the time, they were proved cent percent true.
The prophecies of Arthur Clark are slightly different from prophecies made by other seers. Clark was a scientist and a writer. Thus his prophecies had a scientific tinge which touched the hearts of his readers. His prophecies were proved so true that later on scientists based their research studies on the prophecies made by Clark.
Once in 1959 while attending a dinner party, Clark told his friend 30th June 1969 A.D. will be the greatest day in world history. I can clearly see an inhabitant of earth landing on Moon.
Uptil the day when Clark made this prophecy, not even one space craft had been sent into interstellar space. It was only 2 years later in 1961 A.D. that Russia sent one of its astronaut, Yuri Gagarin, in a spacecraft so as to circumbulate our planet Earth. Hence in 1959 A.D. when Clark made the above prophecy, none of his friends believed it. Despite this, world humanity witnessed Clarks prophecy come true, even if it had a difference of 20 days as far as the timing of the prophecy was concerned. In fact if in 1966 A.D. an Apollo spacecraft had not been burnt to ashes in Kennedy Space Centre, there would not have been this 20 day delay in the prophecy being proved correct.
Even as a small boy, Arthur Clark possessed this strange Extra Sensory Power (ESP) and power to predict future events. He always said Man is not merely this physical body. He is that Power which has divine light full of brilliance. All Divine Powers of God are present in each individual albeit in a latent state. At present these Divine Powers are sleeping in the human psyche.
I am seeing that in a short time span an intense thought revolution will rise in a country of Asia (India). Uptil 1971 in this country and within 10 years in the entire world, this revolution will be so intense, that the harsh psyche of human beings will have to awaken. That energy will be searched for and experienced by all of world humanity, which today they are virtually ignorant about. Science will take a new turn wherein spiritual principles will predominate. These spiritual attainments and potentials will be the basis on which the world will be united as one family.
People argue that life exists on Earth only. Even scientists say that other planets are lifeless. At that time Clark said I had said in 1945 A.D. that there is no need to lay down electrical cables /wires in either the ocean or the entire world. If an artificial satellite of the speed of 17000 miles is sent into interstellar space, which revolves around our Earth, it will fulfill all requirements of sending telegraphic messages. At that time people mocked at me. I was proved right when in 1962 A.D., Bell Telephone Company sent a satellite called Telstar in interstellar space. Today other satellites like Early Bird and Tolras too have been invented which can send messages from one place on Earth to another place. In 1 minute these messages of the measure of 17 pages can be sent.
Once I had said that man is capable of producing so much energy from a very tiny atom that can destroy the world in a matter of a few minutes. Again no one believed what I said. It was only when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed that people realized I was absolutely right. I have made all these prophecies with steadfastness and confidence. With this same confidence I say that this world has not come into existence without a Creator. There eternally exists a mysterious force which is beyond the ken of human intelligence and prowess. This gigantic world was created as per the wish of this mysterious force. If this force created life on Earth, why would it not create life on other planets? If one day life is discovered on other planets, it is doubtless that populations of various planets will come closer and will design cosmic laws which will solve their problems.
Just as Arthur Clarks previous prophecies have come true, so too that day is very near when his above prophecy will also come true cent per cent. Via the mediums of Pulsar and Quasar rays, certain radio messages have been noted which force scientists to believe that life exists on other planets too. Scientists say that civilizations on other planets could be more advanced than those on Earth and that they wish to contact Earth inhabitants. The truth of Clarks prophecies can be witnessed in the existence of clouds that exist billion of light years away and red coloured planets. Thus even the most conservative scientists have started accepting that life could exist on other planets.
A long time back Arthur Clark had said For a few days I will land on Moon to spend my holidays. Obviously people mocked at him. But today it is clear that, that day is not far away when people will book tickets to travel from one planet to another. Dr. Fernand Gabiz, director of Frances Institute of Higher Defence Studies says that henceforth when a hydrogen bomb will be invented it will function with the help of lasers. It will be called a Mini-H-Laser Bomb. Its power will be infinitely more than an electric bomb and its price will be not more than a few dollars. This technology will be of great help in minimizing the cost of travel from one planet to another i.e. in interstellar space. Thus readers of this book will definitely travel in space in the near future.
Arthur Clark while residing in Colombo (Sri Lanka) with his wife Dod made some prophecies regarding Indias progress. It matches with prophecies given by Jean Dixon, Cheiro, Anderson et al. They all said In ancient times India was famous not only spiritually but also as a great scientific nation. I have heard that in the past, India had invented fire and water based weapons and also aircrafts. In future too, India will advance further in these areas and will be topmost in the world. Despite this, India will be predominantly recognized as a great spiritual nation. Indian spirituality and culture will become a World Religion.
Clark had great faith in human progress. He had also made films. His movie Zool Space Odyssey gained international recognition. In it Clark tries to say that todays man is much more advanced than that man of the past, who lived like an ignorant animal in the forest. Today man has intellectually progressed a great deal and with its help, he will not only travel in the entire cosmos but will also dive deep into the recesses of his infinite soul. Man will in future campaign for a life of world brotherhood, oneness of soul and love for one another. This goal will be definitely achieved in the near future.
Clarks prophecies of Indias freedom, China and Pakistans friendship, war between China and Russia have come true, although the timing of events may have been a few days in advance or a few days later. Hence none should doubt his prophecy of a thought revolution and Era Transformation taking place in future in the world. This is because today all signs of this prophecy being proved true in future are witnessed in all corners of the world.

Under Future-Concepts
BE: Since my mindset is on alternatives-to-education I’ll take Learning & Freedom as my topic for this forum and avoid the oxymoron of the other. This gives me two learning/freedom threads, to develop one is the freedom-to-learn ; the other is learning-to-be free.
FREEDOM TO LEARN
Freedom to learn has been a topic of a long list of critics of education including Froebel, Goodman, Illich, Holt, Friere and others. It has also been the cry of an increasing number of today’s activists. My concern here is the gap between the wise men of the past and the activists of today. Although the leave school advocates and activists is rising at a impressive rate with the advent of homeschooling, charterschools, cyberlearning, vouchers, and a conglomerate of other educational modalities, very few, if any, have escaped the syndrome of educate/teach/school. Christian schooling is the whipping boy for a different purpose for brain washing. But nearly all other school refusers are based on the non existent parental rights — the right of parents to teach whatever they want to their children. They are almost paranoid in choosing or designing a curriculum for their children to follow. Ofttimes the state demands such a curriculum before they will recognize the right to homeschool.
Unschooling was used by some older critics to emphasize the student’s right to learn what they want, when they want, and how they want. Unschooling was meant to let the student from birth to practice hir own choice of learning. The parent was expected to be a mentor only help the children find the resources to learn whatever came to their minds. In practice unschooling has been only a slightly modified form of homeschooling. In a recent listserv for unschooling weeks were taken discussion how a parents could be sure that their children were learning the correct code of ethics. At some times it went further to discuss how parents could be sure that a sound basis for a future job was being built.
I think my own idea of unschooling, or freedom to learn, came during a three month stay at a hotel run my a Buddhist monastery in Katmandu during a U.N. project I was working on. Every morning I awoke with the chanting of the monks. Before breakfast the waiters lined up at one end of the dining room holding the spread out table clothes high above their heads. With the doors open at the other end of the room they wiggled the table clothe the herd the flies out. That was a lesson on refusal to kill. But my unschooling lessons came from a series of lectures held in the third floor library. While I an other listeners sat cross legged on the hard floor, the lead saffron robed monk sat on a silk cushion slightly higher than the learners. Since some of us spoke only English we had an interpreter. After each short pronouncement from the leader the interpreter would follow with Articha says …. and give us his translation. The eight lectures were on the Eight Fold Path — right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
I went in to each session expecting some clear guidance on how to live the right life. But Articha never lectured in good American school or church style. There was no preaching or teaching of what would happen if we did or did not follow the Eight Fold Path. No talk of rewards or punishments. Articha told stories, often funny stories, of his own life and that of the monks with whom he had learned. I learned by listening to examples. Perhaps my epiphany came near the end. I never did learn the name of our unassuming monk. I did learn that Articha was the pronunciation our translator had for our teacher.
LEARNING ABOUT FREEDOM
Learning about freedom is the other juxtaposition of learning & freedom. This to my mind it calls for the same action as freedom to learn. Both call for personal freedom. Freedom to learn IS learning about freedom.
Today’s school/teach/educate syndrome does neither. Locking young people away in authoritarian, hierarchal, competitive, materialistic schools not only stops one from learning but it also stops any thought of freedom or joy of living. It is exactly the opposite of learning about freedom. It teaches one to be on time, do what you are told, do not skip work, start and stop by the bell, neglect your own creativity, and subdue your desire for learning and freedom. It is good for training willing workers for a bring life of boring jobs and boring work.
But we should not blame only the schools. We need to look at society as a whole, particularly the home. Young people may need guidance. We don’t want them to run in the street in front of a speeding car. We want them to eat good food. We want the to learn to be good citizens. For the very young we tend to think it is difficult, and often a waste of time, to explain the reason behind every issue they face. It is easier to bark a command. Eat your food. wash your hands. get dressed. go to school say your prayers, and go to mass, are easier to say than explain. The often used reason is said, or implied, Because I say so. There MAY be, or at least we tend to think, that there is a reason, if not a responsibility, to limit the freedom of the very young.
For most parents the issue of learning about freedom comes at a later date. Too often the pattern is too rigidly set by whenever that time comes to bring it about. Being controlled is set in the minds and actions of the young who have started their lives being taught that decisions are made for them. Even more critical it is set in the minds and actions of the parents or other elders who have grown into the habit of seeing and expecting their orders to be obeyed. Sometimes the orders are not expressed in words. They are inherent in what we do. Often they are just the way the family lives. We all go swimming after work every day. We all go the the library, to church, or shopping, or to grandma’s when the elders decide. There is nothing wrong with saying or doing whatever parents think is good. But it IS wrong to stifle natural curiosity and the feeling of freedom. There are many ways in which freedom — the power to act without compulsion — are limited for those growing up. If we want people to be free we have to at least be aware of all the ways that freedom is limited.
This comes more and more crucial as children grow up. At what age should parents give what freedom? In my view it is always too late. The sense of freedom should be with us from birth. As our culture exists we wait for a time of rebirth into freedom. Our love for our children and desire to protect them subsumes any transition into freedom.
EDUCATION/CONTROL OR LEARNING/FREEDOM
Freedom like Education has an obverse side. The obverse of freedom is control. In starker terms we might say the obverse of freedom is slavery. But neither education nor control is the bad side or the good side for, learning freedom. They are both processes as compared to goals. Education has the goal of learning. Parental control has the goal of freedom. The difference is what is given, and what is taken. In the end both learning and freedom have to be taken. It up to the individual to accept, and seize, the responsibility for ether learning or freedom.
Manish Jain, a home education advocate in India, developed the concept of unlearning. Jain’s concept is along the lines of Illich’s deschooling society, Gandhi’s honest reflection, Toefler’s de-conditioning, Buddha’s letting go, and other oft used terms like conviviality, de-institutionalizing, voluntary simplicity, re-patterning, and others. Unlearning is the process of moving beyond all the limitations instilled in a student by school, home and society. It is not about forgetting, emptying, destroying. Nor is it simply about critical thinking, positive thinking or problem-solving. At its most basic level, unlearning starts with looking at the realities and possibilities of life from other points of view. It involves becoming more conscious of different cultures and mental models, assumptions, generalizations, sacred constructs, cognitive blindness, expectations, anxieties, etc. It’s escaping the influence how we have been taught to understand reality, to create knowledge, to make choices, and how we grow. It is not an educational modality as much as it is a new social paradigm and worldview.
Jain’s research is the study of people, particularly young adults, who have escaped the confines of the standard social paradigm in spite of the being imbedded in it. They have risen above the mindset, worldview, and mainstream culture that is perpetuated by the school/educate/teach syndrome. They have reached a new level of freedom. The goal is to learn how we can all unlearn or, as Einstein put it, recognize that We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Under Future-Concepts
From: tranet@rangeley.org
Subject: Opening Statement by Bill Ellis
Date: 02, January 1970 9:28:45 AM EST I start my input where I left off in my input to the forum on Education and Democracy. My concern then, and now, is that our terms are contradictory. The word education, the process of instilling knowledge into people’s minds, connotes a person or persons acting on others. It is being GIVEN knowledge, usually not of one’s own choosing. It is not searching for and TAKING knowledge one wants hirself. Education limits the ability to learn to topics, techniques, and times set by others. Freedom, particularly freedom to learn, connotes and recognizes that one can only learn what one chooses to learn. The teach/educate/school is in opposition to freedom and democracy.
I would like for this forum to take the argument to a more fundamental level. I suggest that if we want to promote freedom and democracy we have to recognize the mindset, worldview, and culture in which they are set. Many listservs, blogs, and websites dwell on our EuroAmerican cultures’ values of self-interest, materialism, competition - - that is, greed and violence. But few have analyzed how we have reached this state of our culture. It is rooted in a long history of cultural evolution. I suggest below that we look at this history as well as suggest future actions we might take to move toward a more humane one.
The earliest worldviews, as well as the evolving human mind, were set by the nature that surrounded the first humanoids 5 million years ago when they first came down from the trees weak and unprotected. They were the prey and food for larger, stronger carnivorous animals. A few had only their larger brains and their proclivity for community to provide a niche for survival. Humanoids evolved to become thinking homo sapiens with tools and fire, some 600,000 to 150,000 years ago. Their earliest cultures evolved and were governed within the awe, majesty, mystery and cycles of nature. There we no human rights. Humans were governed by nature. Their lives, allegiances and gratitude, were to family, tribes, the sun, the animals, the forces of nature, and the unknowable. Their obligations, duties, and responsibilities were to those natural powers that permitted and governed their lives.
The cultures that grew from this natural beginning were ‘dharmocracies.’ They recognized, honored, and worshipped the natural order. They were naturecentric rather than anthropocentric. They acknowledge that only by cooperation and interdependence with nature, including with one another, could they, and their world, exist and evolve. This acknowledgment led each individual to work for the good of all. Production and distribution of goods and services was naturally by reciprocity, not economics. Each produced, and gave what they produced, for the good of all. They honored their responsibilities to the well being of Gaia (the Earth and all of its life forms) with no concept of rights of the individual. Two third of the world population still does not have a concept of human rights, Words for rights, as well as ownership, money, or exchange, do not even exist in the majority of languages.
In a few of the evolving cultures the mystery of the unknowable gave room for a belief in powerful human-like creators — gods. In one culture, at least, the concept of one all powerful God was born. This was a second major mindshift for humanity. The dharmic view of the world was replaced by theocratic beliefs. The world controlled nature was transformed to a world controlled by a supernatural power. That power was was transmitted to humans through priestly orders, holy books, and divinely sanctioned governments.
The Renaissance and Reformation brought a new element to the Age of Faith. Control of the world shifted from the priests to the banks, the politicians, and the moneyed class. An oligarchy, still claiming divine sanction, ruled the world. Only slowly did the power of the Church loose control as science and the Age of Reason strengthened the hands of the owners of the tools of production. It was this EuroAmerican culture that became the most powerful and with its sword (technology), flag (nationalism), and cross (religion) Its social paradigm soon dominated the whole world.
A fourth major paradigm shift came in 1776 when political democracy was born in America. The social paradigm was little changed from the dominator paradigm that had been growing since humans were first taught that the Earth was made for them. And that man (and I do mean man) was created to dominate the earth and all of its life forms including women, children, other races, . This democratic political paradigm adopted the moral code of self-interest, competition and materialism which led to material wealth as well as to the destruction of the natural habitat. But it also eliminated the divine-right-of-kings, and gave some power and responsibility to we-the-people. Or at least to representatives of the people. Technologies and techniques of the day did not make direct democracy possible. This glitch kept political and social control in the hands of a monied elite that continued to own the tools of production and distribution.
Today we are involved in a fifth paradigm shift. Chaos, Complexity, and Gaian theories are revealing a radically different world view. The are showing that individual unfettered freedom is neither economically nor scientifically sound. The Cosmos is shown to be a single, unit or holon, composed of tightly interlocked and interdependent holons. The dominator paradigm of the past is being replaced by a Gaian paradigm. All entities in the cosmos are no longer seen as free and autonomous. The well being and freedom of each is subject to the well being and freedom of all. Humans are part of Gaia and are controlled by, as they control, the Gaian paradigm. Separate research on human evolution and human nature reveal that cooperation and interdependence is social necessity as well as human nature and cosmic law.
This new understanding suggests that the mix of dharmocracy, theocracy, oligarchy, and democracy may be followed by new social/political systems. We might call this new system ‘cosmocracy.’ It could be a more fruitful form of human control Individuals empowered by new scientific knowledge and new technologies, can cooperate directly with one another, at the community level in the production and distribution of goods and services. Community cooperatives could exchange with one another on a global level. Cosmocracy would not be bound, as are oligarchy and democracy, by the space/time limits. Today we can know what’s going on in any part of the world in real time. No matter where we are we can converse with anyone in Uganda, Iraq, or Nepal on our cell phone. Our reliance on any bosses, governments, corporations, or boundaries is ephemeral. We have the ability to form communities with others to control our own lives and to have an effective voice in our own governance. The question is now only one of will and wisdom.
Whether we can take advantage of the possibilities is the crux of this forum — Freedom and Education. When material production was the primary need of society it was important to train willing workers for service and factories. In the 1840s the compulsory state school system was established to transform an agrarian society into a industrial one. The influx of immigrants searching for industrial jobs extended the value of the system. Authoritarian hierarchal, competitive schools locked young people in the most formative years of their lives away from family, society and nature. It trained them to obey authority, to work by the bell, to learn what was determined by others, and in general to fit into an authoritarian, hierarchal, competitive, materialistic society.
For years social scholars like Froebel, Goodman, Illich, Holt, Godwin and others have promoted deschooling society. But the time, space and technologies prevented the fruition of their ideas. Today cyberlearning, learning cooperatives, unschooling, homeschooling, charter schools, independent study programs, Learning centers and many other personalized learning programs are laying the ground work for Cosmocracy. Life-long self-learning has many parents. The mainstream society is still captured by the educate/teach/school syndrome of a passing age. Its call to fix-the-schools is a march to folly perpetuated by the system itself.
The task for this Forum should be What can we DO to help promote a deschooled future?
In my humble opinion Bill Ellis

Highly popular in Europe and Asia, smart cards are making a strong impact in America.
Originally requiring contact with the reader in order to transfer information, manufacturers have begun building proximity, non-contact type cards that transfer bi-directional data utilizing RFID technology.
By encoding the cards and the readers with 64-bit encrypted keys, manufacturers are able to provide highly secure credentials for access and simultaneously open up a whole new world of possible applications for proximity cards.
The data chips on smart cards can be segregated into separate application areas. Some manufactures provide as many as 16-different application areas. Each application area can be provided with its own unique 64-bit key so that only specific readers can access the information in that area.
In other words, you can have a reader in the library that has the 64-bit key to application area # 4 where the card stores all of your library information including which books you have checked out and not returned. A reader in the cafeteria has the 64-bit key to application area # 6 which debits money from your account for food purchases. The reader on the student housing building has the 64-bit key to application area # 1 where your card access level information is stored which grants you access into the dormitory.
With the advances in smart card technology, manufacturers are working on stand alone readers and locksets that are essentially off-line but they will still be able to integrate with P.C. based electronic access control systems.
The stand alone smart locks will incorporate smart card readers with the ability to write the transaction back to the smart card. A person could visit hundreds of the off-line readers and when he reads his card at an on-line reader, the stored transactions would be downloaded to the database. If a person is fired, or taken out of the database for any reason, the on-line system can write the necessary information deleting the card, to each card that it reads. In this way, the information is transferred to the off-line readers telling them to delete the access privileges of the card.
Theoretically, this will allow large users of access control systems to customize their solutions and provide a mix of on-line and off-line readers that can be centrally managed while taking advantage of their existing communication infrastructure.
Another popular feature of smart cards is the ability to store biometric access control templates which allows faster response from biometric authentication readers. This innovative approach to biometric technology allows you to carry around your biometric template with you, rather than having it stored on the computer or the reader itself.
Because the template comparison becomes a one to one versus a one to many, it frees up valuable processor time and hard drive storage space, which allows the new bread of biometric readers to work very quickly.
Very soon, when you use your credit card at a point of sale, you might have to present your finger to a biometric reader to verify your identity. Not long after that, even internet transactions will be authenticated using some form of smart cards and biometric identification.
Get ready America, as all of these transactions are sure to use some type of Smart Card Technology!

Many people such as science fiction writers futurists talk about the of information technologies. In these s we often hear talk about the war between humans machines. Many people such as conspiracy theorists are worried about the of IT or information technologies they say that say that soon information technologies will be running the world using artificially intelligent brains.
Currently many factories are completely robotic the information technology systems allow them to run efficiently effectively, while the machine makes all the decisions. But in reality what is the difference between making products, paper boxes or automobiles than with treating people in a hospital, training little humans in school or running a Police Department?
Not much actually if you think about it is all about systems management. Finite capacity scheduling models can be used to best make a hospital run efficiently. Net centric systems are now used to fight wars. We already use similar strategies in all the flows of modern civilizations, so why not streamline them with IT systems? Indeed, we are doing that now.
Supercomputers allow us to use similar strategies for weather monitoring, calculating mathematics for our space department mapping the genome of various species. By uniting supercomputers with net centric systems allowing all the data to flow from information technology system points into the artificial intelligent brain of a computer then you can underst what the science-fiction writers futurists are talking about.
This is an obvious it is the way the world is moving. It is not good or bad, but it could become either if we do not pay attention. It makes sense to design artificially intelligent machines, which can hle all the needs of humans in the they will be smarter than humans it makes sense to use maximum intelligence to run our civilizations systems. So perhaps you might consider all this in 2006.

Many times we hear of great new initiatives being sponsored feel we are rounding a corner looking towards a bright new , yet eventually we see that things are not moving we feel it is only hype get frustrated. Sometimes delays in innovation are caused in the marketplace by competitive political barriers.
Often, there is a reason for this that is because some innovation is so disruptive that it can cause instant chaos in a given industry or get in the way that things are currently done. Sometimes change is better when it is slow therefore slowing innovation is one way to control the situation.
Of course most free market analysts will agree that delays in innovations innovation initiatives are not good because they protect the stodgy old industries, which are inherently inefficient if they were more efficient they would have noticed the innovation previously either bought the startup companies doing the innovation or developed the technologies themselves in their own research development departments.
Sometime citizens will complain that the innovation initiatives are moving too slowly in areas such as alternative energy they must also realize that for innovation initiatives to really take off the marketplace they have to believe that those are worthy expenditures of investment dollars unless there is a return on investment in the near no real entrepreneurial investor is going to invest in those new technologies.
Sometimes people complain that innovation initiatives are over hyped. However, if they are not hyped a little bit it is hard to get the private sector investors to move on the opportunity. I hope you will consider all this as it is all part of a larger game it does not pay to get too upset over these things, as it is much better to underst the overall situation. Please think on this in 2006.

Can we use super computers to scour databases to find those amongst us who are super humans or what I call human plus? There are many people in the world in the United States, who can help mankind solve all its problems it makes sense that we find these super humans who can help us run our civilization better. We should use the supercomputers to find them faster look for anomalies in the overall population.
What if there is another Einstein in the world or even here the United States, who has been socially conditioned not to say certain things yet has all kinds of great ideas. But since he is not in the scientific community no one ever hears about them therefore his great ideas are truly wasted. What if we could find these people within the 300 million people in the United States population tap their talents?
Perhaps get them a few thous extra bucks per month to help us do what we do in our civilization much better? We obviously have some pretty good genetics running around in the United States we have a whole lot of very smart people we should be using this human organic brainpower better.
Why would we waste human brain potential or intellectual human capital? That makes no sense. If we have the resources in the United States such as these super humans or human plus brain people, then shouldn’t we be using their abilities to help us solve problems?
If we are busy looking for sneaky bad guys international terrorists within our population, then why not look for the good guys it is super brains to help us too? That would make sense you could very much help our civilization do more run more efficiently. Perhaps you might consider all this in 2006.

Is unlimited thought achievable? What is unlimited thought? Do you believe you have potential of the mind? Many people believe that their god has an unlimited mind is capable of unlimited thoughts unlimited communication with all the humans on the planet it is all-knowing knows the the past all at once.
Sounds like super intelligence to me one has to wonder what the limits are for the human mind or are there any? Can the human mind process unlimited thought; most people would say no it cannot. Then other people would say that all the human minds are connected in some way in that they use similar brain waves everything is connected to everything anyway.
This would mean that the collective mind should be able to contain unlimited thought by way of distribution, kind of like grid computing. In other words whenever you are thinking about something then someone else already knows the answer if you could tap into their brain for the same information then in a way you would have unlimited thought the answers to nearly every question you could ever ask that is an interesting scenario as we talked to people who are into that sort of thing.
In the perhaps there will be devices to connect huge groups of people using a portion of each person’s brain to solve all the worlds problems for every single individual. That might be pretty cool. Is unlimited thought achievable how long in the would humankind have to wait to have such capabilities so readily available?
When will this technology be developed how come we don’t have it; because no one ever thought of it? Can he see why we need unlimited thought? Please consider all this in 2006.
