My My, Where to begin?

American economic interests and investment and growth and research and develpment and great business managers and citizens and great prosperity and innovation, which have all driven our quality of life and those of third-world nations higher in a shorter amount of time than any civilization in the history of the planet, are slipping through the fingers of the salty-hardworking taxpayer( as opposed to the slimy-politician) faster than sand through a seive; florida sand- the kind that is so fine its like the coke they smuggle into the states all along those entrenched narco routes through the caribbean. Through all those dirty-'democratic' island nations which are sufferers of failed socialist/Marxist policies of redistributive and communal-progressive living situations where they accept the power and authority of the ruling few at the expense of their liberty, dignity, and prosperity; vast networks exist to continue to support the U.S. Black Market. And things are only gunna get worse before they get better; so look out.
In fact, those slimy politicians, while the taxpayer gets screwed, are gunna continue to play political games with the nation's time and money until they are voted out of office; but i'm sure not before those shady bank accounts are padded, or someone gets killed or something. this is Big Slimy Buisness- akin to The Godfather part III when the Don tries to take the Family GLOBAL in order to justify his shady fortune made by shady dealings. What does he find? two things, first- that the catholic Catholic Church is already more corrupt than even the bloodthirsty Italien Mafia... and two, that every time he tries to get out of the Business, it 'pulls him BACK IN!' I love this story, it's really timeless. We will never change the nature of man, of the world, or of our need to participate in the institutions of buisness which arrive there forthwith; namely - economics and accounting. Financing certainly is dependant on these supreme factors of business accumen.

and oh yeah, I almost forgot Mr. Coppola's genius in revealing the 3rd demension of the pursuit of worldly ends for personal gain and how divine justice and retribution in the lives of men account for his continually breaking that covenant which God has with men through the life, death, and resurrection to life again of Jesus Christ who is known as the savior of men in Christianity. which now brings me to my next post which will detail for you all the finer points of the Social Justice, Green, and also the Laussanne Movement and how they propose to allay the world's ills.

the future of GPS technology

Privacy concerns as 3G and 4G internet speeds enable personal PC’s and mobile phone devices to connect your reported position coordinates to a central location. This technology could be used by law enforcement, the government, or nearly any other outside party with the capability to track your whereabouts without your knowledge. In fact, the U.S. government already does this. The F.B.I. uses a program called Carnivore to track emails. Of course, this GPS technology can be used to track children and provide crucial information in stopping serial killers, kidnappers, thieves, home invaders, and terrorists foreign and domestic. And while its use could help save lives, it could also be used to snoop and monitor individuals without their knowing.
Would you want to be tracked unknowingly by a government agency, debt collector, or even a friend or loved one checking up on you? This should be a question we all ask ourselves as we move progressively into an era where science fiction quickly becomes reality. Humans have the ability to plant tracking devices under the skin, and there has been talk in the U.K. of electronically tagging children with a microchip. Anymore, if you want to go anywhere you take along some digitally enhanced device like a pocket PC, a pager, cell phone, GPS, or even a watch, and you can be tracked. Think of the possibilities when one considers the future of smart-grid technologies. GPS tracking sensors and software will certainly be a large part of the future of smart grids. Where might the intrusion into our daily lives stop? How might government seek to trample individual rights under the guise of Progress with the advent of modern technology?

Smart Grid Technology and Government “Shovel Ready” projects

In a Forbes interview with Bob Metcalf, Ethernet inventor, Polaris partner, and Chairman of Ember - maker of energy efficient technologies, executive editor Elizabeth Corcoran asks about the real impact of stimulus on energy startups? Bob Metcalf explains how solving energy is not this year’s problem, it is a long-term project; that means that there is time to do science. But when you need something by next fall, there is no time for science and you have to just use whatever is lying around; like these “Shovel Ready” projects President Obama always talks about. Mr. Metcalf says he is wary of the urgency always ascribed to energy innovation; like the world will end due to global warming or cooling, or more recently the added emphasis on ‘stimulating’ the economy. He goes on to explain how a lot of the money will be wasted. He says that when developing any new technology, a certain amount of waste is required. Ember does not invest in companies that rely on government cheese as a matter of principle, but anymore they have no choice. Private companies are being forced by the current business environment to go to the government for capital investment. This manner of capital investment changes the skill sets that new startups must develop in order to remain globally competitive. Now you have people who specialize in going to Washington to get money. If you are a young company, you want to know how to go get that money, because you’re competitors will. He related a story about how a company used $10,000,000.00 of venture capital funds to secure $100,000,000.00 of guaranteed government loans. This skews the skills needed for success, away from the prosperous chairman and CEO of successful “small business” startups, to the ineffectual mealy-mouthed political class which effectively seeks to squander public funds and tax dollars on padded pork projects and campaign contributions.

Productivity and Competitive Advantage

Aside from the promise of eliminating idling, and thus improving the state of CO2 emissions for a given buisness organization, GPS technology will help the buisness bottom line in the realm of maintenance. Sophisticated software coupled with GPS capability can help perform predictive analysis, monitoring equipment and other high-value assets remotely, and ensuring that vehicles and other potentially hazardous machinery are secure, safe, and kept in top shape.

The E.P.A.(Environmental Protection Agency) suggests that one way to reduce air pollution is to get regular engine tune-ups; certainly this emerging GPS tracking technology would provide a more accurate and timely measurement of those descriptive factors to buisnesses in order that they might comply with Government regulation amidst such a diverse contemporary business environment. As the world becomes progressively flat, in terms of how a global digital environment affects the way people, countries, and business organizations interact, in order to compete with massive emerging economies of the world, it would definately serve to benefit companies that they invest in the R&D(research and Development) necessary to implement these potentially business saving GPS tracking technologies.

Potential Environmental Solutions

Recently, the regulation of fossil fuels has become an increasingly hot buisness topic. GPS Tracking will rely on other emerging technologies, like smart-grids and similar networked systems, to enable such valuable tasks as tracking vehicles, other equipment assets, or personnel, and record their location at given intervals, also acquiring other important data through a variety of sensors connected at the source. It can help equipment fleet managers, contractors, equipment rental, and construction companies large and small, to relate instantly how much time vehicles and equipment spend idling so that managers can monitor these parameters and control them by setting standards to reduce mishandled time. This has the dual effect of both saving fuel costs and, with looming "Cap and Trade" legislation inclement on U.S. companies, it will allow managers of all kinds to potentially control CO2 emissions.

GPS and emerging environmental concerns

Presently, historical shifts in business strategy are taking place and revolutionizing the way that GPS technologies are being implemented in today’s dynamic workplace. With restrictions to public access of the most precise GPS capabilities lifted under the Clinton administration, private companies are now utilizing these functions to improve upon the present state of various activities including map-making, land surveying, commerce and scientific applications. As governments and scientific communities increasingly confront environmental concerns as they relate to the production and regulation of fossil fuels, and as the largest and most rapidly growing economies of the world, India and China, refuse to address these mounting issues, it will be increasingly important for organizations to become more efficient in order to remain competitive in the world market. GPS technology, thankfully, offers many solutions to this problem. The bottom line for businesses is savings; but it is my opinion that these GPS capabilities will mean a lot more in terms of environmental concern and productivity in the future.

Global Positioning Systems , a brief introduction

Satellites in orbit around the Earth, controlled by atomic clock precision, which comprise what is known as the Global Positioning System or GPS, are just one aspect of a vast interconnected array of technological advancements and cutting edge capabilities now coming within reach of the fingertips of the average consumer. At its inception, the twenty four satellites known as the Global Positioning System were under the direct control of the U.S. Government as a project which saw service in Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield. This awesome new capability allowed ground troops to affectively, efficiently, and more importantly safely navigate the vast Deserts of Iraq; even when Saddam Hussein lit oil wells on fire, effectively taking away any hope of visual navigation. But beyond the battlefield, and with further Research, Development, and Deployment GPS has grown into, and promises to be one of the most useful technologies of our post-modern digital age.
