Animal Premonitions

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Pet Bed 2What is the possibility that some animals can forewarn us of events that are about to occur? What about pets that seem to know when their owners are about to have an epileptic seizure? Epilepsy is a kind of temporary short circuit in the victim’s brain, resulting in convulsions, labored breathing and sometimes blackouts. Is it a real premonition the pet is having? Or is it supersensitive to slight muscle tremors, subtle changes in behavior or emitted odors that even the victim is not aware of before a seizure takes hold? Yet, it has been proven that dogs, cats and even rabbits can be sensitive to the event.

Are animals sensitive to other diseases as well? There is evidence that suggest that some pets have warned diabetics when their blood sugar was low as well as pets that seem to know where cancerous spots are on their owners, long before a diagnosis is made.

Imagine this if you will, your dog jumps out of his dog bed just as you get out of yours and makes you sit back down as your left arm starts to hurt. You realize you are having a heart attack. Did your pet sense it or cause it?

Some animals display the ability to “know” when an earthquake is about to occur. It has been proven that before an earthquake actually starts that rats and snakes have been seen fleeing their burrows, horses and other farm animals become agitated, and birds fly away from the scene in flocks. This most certainly is a case of supersensitivity to the environment rather than true precognition. Animals can sense subtle vibrations, odors, electric and magnetic emissions resulting from the stresses within the earth.

Incidents in which an animal seems to have no foreknowledge of a disastrous event and there can be no sensory cues to pick up on is even harder to explain. Yet, it does happen.

One such story is that of a dog who tried to stop his owner from leaving the house to go to work. The dog did things that it normally never did at that time the morning. The owner had to put the animal in a dog crate to be able to leave for work. As the owner left the dog could be heard howling. Within two hours of departing the home the owner was in a very bad traffic accident. This accident resulted in fractures in the neck and arm as well as other injuries. The question is, how did the dog know?

Smart Answers for Small Business

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Construction 5Small growing, startups and even home-based businesses have been underserved by the telecommunications industry. Yet, there are telephone systems that fit these businesses if you know where to look. Like for phone systems in Fort Worth.

This is phone systems in Dallas have become very sophisticated in recent years, but for the most part, very small businesses have been on the outside looking in. The gap between what small business needs and what the market is offering is only getting wider with the recent evolution in Voice over IP telephony (VoIP).

While advancing technology has ushered in amazing new features and inversely lower prices for most office equipment, full-featured phone systems have remained largely out of reach for small businesses. You can afford a photo-realistic slimline desktop color printer now for a fraction of what it cost just a few years ago. You can beam your appointment book back and forth from your wristwatch to your laptop for under a hundred bucks, but the prices of telephone systems have not decreased at the same rate. Most small companies are forced to put together following solutions with a combination of multi-line telephones, answering machines and costly monthly phone company services.

Those that offer flexible automated call answering features, call messaging, call routing that can improve a business’s professional image, control communication costs, and increase connectivity and responsiveness are signs of a far more powerful phone system.

It is well established that small business is the engine of job creation and economic health today. Small business needs advanced phone systems as much as its larger counterparts do to achieve a sophisticated, mobile workforce and limited resources for dedicated phone answering staff. Yet according to one study, 60% of small businesses in the US do not have a phone system at all. The leaders in the phone industry have never been able to produce products to fit with small businesses even though there are 5 million small businesses with fewer than 20 employees and no phone systems.

It is simply because of the size. Small business is too small for the big traditional phone systems and the scaled-down solutions still have price tags that are too big for small business budgets. It is difficult to fit a phone system when are you users in a business. Big phone systems just do not work for very small businesses.

Not all of the news is bad, though. A select few companies have realized that the very small business is underserved, and they have been producing small business systems that make sense.


Information Technology Profiling

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Business 1Profiling is a data surveillance technique that is increasingly used and is little understood as well as ill documented. It is the generating prospects from a large group that involves inferring a set of characteristics of a particular type of person from past experience. Then searching that stored data for individuals that closely into a certain set of characteristics. Profiling is, essentially, an investigative activity in which someone searches for specific elements that characterizes a thing or a person, a social group or even an organization.

It is rather different from front-end verification and data matching. It raises different issues and requires different regulatory measures.

Consumer espionage or data surveillance, a.k.a. dataveillance, is the systematic use of personal data systems in the investigation or monitoring of the activities or communications of one or more persons. Because it is cheap and effective it supplements the more traditional forms of surveillance and leads to good IT sales leads.

Profiling is used in many different businesses in the form of company profiles of their competitors. In the consultancy business you encounter profiling when a consultant is to do a job and learn or even teach the basics about an organization.

The idea is that by knowing and understanding your customer you can better tailor your product, your advertising and marketing to gain maximum coverage of your service or product as well as to elicit a change in their thinking, which will cause a change in their purchases.

The more businesses that are concerned with all areas of profiling, the more profitable and efficient they will be.


After Physical Damage, Can Data Be Recovered?

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Data 7Hard disk data recovery is the process of extracting data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible primary or secondary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. Recovery may be required due to physical or logical damage to a file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host system. Although there is some confusion as to the term, disk data recovery can also be the process of retrieving and securing deleted information from a hard drive for forensic purposes or spying.

A wide variety of failures can cause physical damage to hard disks, which can suffer any of number of mechanical failures, such as head crashes and failed motors. Physical damage always causes at least some data loss, and in many cases the logical structures of the file system is damaged as well. This causes logical damage that must be dealt with before any files can be salvaged from the failed hard drive.

End users cannot repair most physical damage. Hard drives are very sensitive to further damage by dust and other articles, which would cause further damage to the platters and complicating data file recovery process. Also, end users generally do not have the hardware or technical skills required to make these repairs. Data recovery companies are consulted to salvage the data in most cases. These firms often use Class 100 clean room facilities to protect the hard drive while repairs are being made.

There are reports of some unusual tricks used to get a bad disk going long enough to retrieve data before it is too late. Why is putting the hard drive in the freezer or spinning it manually on the ground. The intention is to unstick the jammed platter of the hard drive. Most professionals recommend against using trips like these because they can cause additional physical damage to his rise if it is not done properly and sometimes even when done properly. All people that are even the slightest bit computer savvy, including experts, recommend that you take your hard drive to an expert if you want to retrieve any data at all.

So to answer the original question, maybe. It all depends on the type of damage that was done. In most cases, you should be able to retrieve at least some of your data, if not all of it.

What Are Lowrise Jeans?

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

DD 7Low-rise jeans can be worn by both men and women that intended to sit low on or below the hips. They are also called for lowrise jeans, low-cut jeans, hipsters, hip-huggers and lowriders. They usually sit at least 3 inches lower than the belly button. Low-rise denims have existed since the 1960s, but regained popularity in the 1990s and 2000s.

The “rise” of a pair of jeans is determined by the distance between the crotch, the waist and is usually around 12 inches on regular pants. The average measurement of low rise jeans is roughly 8 inches, with some as little as 3-4 inches. Several brands actually have zippers far shorter than regular pants, usually between 2-3 inches. Some manufacturers like Dorinha Jeans Wear will provide 1-inch zippers. These are classified as “ultra low-rise jeans” and the small zipper no longer has its traditional function, but it is more of a display of fashion and the marking of the jeans’ low-rise nature.

Hip-huggers were the first low-rise jeans to rise to popularity during the late 1960s. They came with the ascendance of the hippie counterculture and psychedelic music. They were most often worn with light-cotton, paisley-printed tops or Nehru-collared jackets, bell-bottomed hip-huggers were popularized by rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Robert Plant. Later, hip-huggers became a staple of popular culture in the disco scene of the 1970s.

During the early 1980s, the designer straight-legged jeans became popular and the waistlines moved higher as the bellbottoms gradually disappear. In the 80s and 90s more women were entering corporate workforce so the high waist design remained predominant with most commercial designers such as Gloria Vanderbilt and Calvin Klein at the forefront.

But, we all know how history repeats itself and the fashion of lo rise jeans re-emerged in 2001 with girls and boys between the age of 14 and 23. The major focus of advertising is still directed at teenage girls and boys even though its popularity also increased among women and men of other ages.

Now, low-rise jeans are manufactured in several styles and though tight jeans are usually the most popular they exist in loose, baggy, flare and destroyed styles. The lowrise style is not limited just jeans anymore. Manufacturers have started making lowrise styles in other kinds of paints. The most popular being tight black styles that have become increasingly popular in a more recent hipster scene. Lower back tattoos or tramp stamps have even been credited to the rise in popularity of .

As with every product that is manufactured and sold in the US today, there is always someone who thinks it is wrong or bad and should not be around. A Legislator, Derrick Shepherd, of the state of Louisiana made an attempt in 2004 to outlaw the fashion of low-rise jeans to stop the display of underwear under the pants. He claimed it to be disrespectful and obscene. People spotted with their “whale tail” or “boxers showing” would be fined $500. The bill, HB 1703, was rejected by the Louisiana House of Representatives. A similar bill was attempted in Hampton Roads, Virginia, charging a $50 fine for anyone deliberately showing their underwear. The bill was rejected in February 2005. Even school dress codes sometimes banned pants of too low a rise or allowing visible underwear.

In 2003 a Canadian doctor, Dr. Malvinder S. Parmar, pointed out that wearing tight low-rise jeans may put pressure on a sensory nerve, which can cause pain and paresthesia in the nerve’s area of distribution. This is known as Meralgia paresthetica and is associated with a tingling or a burning sensation on the lateral aspect of the thigh. But this condition was diagnosed in 3 mildly “obese” women who had worn low-rise jeans for 6–8 months and was resolved after they avoided wearing low-rise jeans for 4–6 weeks. are not meant for anyone who is mildly “obese”.
