* Encyclopedia II - Global Consciousness Project - Research

Their research works by examining the output of hardware random number generators located around the world. The remote devices have been dubbed Princeton Eggs, where EGG is short for electrogaiagram, a play of words on electroencephalogram [1]. The current theory holds that events that have a significant human impact affect the randomness of these generators in a statistically significant way. Roger D.

Kamen is probably most well-known to the public from the publicity surrounding the product that eventually became known as the Segway HT—a kind of electric scooter with a complex, computer-controlled gyroscopic stabilization and control system that keeps the device balanced on two horizontally-placed wheels and controlled by moving body weight. The machine's secret development was the object of much speculation after segments of a book quoting Steve Jobs and other notable IT visionaries espousing its society-revolutio ...

* Encyclopedia II - Alan Alda - After M*A*S*H

Alda's prominence in the enormously successful M*A*S*H gave him a platform to speak out on political topics, and he has been a strong and vocal supporter of equal rights for women. As such, he has been something of a boogeyman for some political social conservatives who disagree with his views. He has also appeared in at least two TV commercials. Both of these were in the small-computer industry, first for Atari and later, with the rest of the M*A*S*H cast, for IBM's ...

Gratitude Marketing—it’s the Attitude That Makes All the Difference

Gratitude sometimes gets a bad rap. We all cringe at the memory of someone in our past scolding that we “ought to be grateful” - 7;usually for something awful, like spinach. We live in a culture that elevates the myth of the “self-made man,” leaving thank-yous mostly for acceptance speeches at the Academy Awards.
