Offensive Swarm Deformation When Under Defensive Barrage Fire

Filed under: Web Of Videos — admin @ 4:37 pm

When using robotic artificial intelligent war fighters of the future swarming strategies will indeed continue to rule the modern battlespace. Yet if we consider the possibilities of future tactics and computer thinking and adapting units we must consider the programming requirements of evasion, attack, deformation and realignment of the swarm.

A good swarming strategy while under a barrage of fire would be one which would confuse the incoming weapon systems into believing that the target has changed, the direction of the swarm has changed or it is mutating into something else. Allowing for a pausing of the defense system’s computers to counter act the swarm attack. Thus allowing time to move the swarm units closer to the target to ultimately overwhelm the enemy.

There are a number of waves to draw fire and lead defense weapons systems to re-plot false trajectories and it is much easier to confuse the enemy when attacking by swarm using random patters of deformation. Thus the target choosing algorithms pick targets which appear to be closing in first or can do the most damage to its systems, when in reality many decoy, suicide bots and incoming erratic maneuvering scouts draw fire, while the ever approaching main body of the swarm moves closer.

In deformation strategies it is recommended to use false arches, vortex snake patterns, mini-swarm switch back, and triangular automata methematica patterns on the way into the target as the barrage of swarming defense ordinance is launched and to re-unite in multiple packs or killing mini-swarm configurations and plot trajectories to other targets in which you have no actual desire to take out. Then re-unite during the final convergence of the target. How do I know this? Well, I see so many flaws in the Chinese swarm theory and their military’s plans to use it on a more sophisticated and better-readied adversary.

Indeed they can afford to lose more, as they have more, yet in the end if you lose all then you have gained nothing and to the Chinese and their chess strategies, I say to you; if nothing is nothing, then how can something be anything if it merely leads you to the same. You see destiny is something not to be taken lightly and to that point, underestimation of those who study the game and the insects which invented swarm theory; well, lets just say they know where the human applications differ since the tasks and goals are unique to make haste into waste and domes into bowls. Be well.

Top 10 Tips to Make Your Web Site A Hit!

Filed under: Business Success — admin @ 11:59 pm

Professionals in tend to under-estimate the power of the web to bring them business, and to bring them precisely the kinds of clients they want! And, a few, invest in a great web site, but then don’t market it effectively! There are some wonderful sites that are virtually “hidden” out there on the web. Web marketing has one thing in common with other advertising: no matter how good the ad, it won’t build your business unless lots of people see it.

I tell my clients to view web marketing as having two separate components: first is the creation of a site, and second is marketing it. Building a site requires creativity, design skills, and an understanding of color, images, and popular trends. Marketing a site, on the other hand, is a much more routine, repetitious, even boring task that must be done consistently over time. The following are my Top 10 suggestions for marketing your web site:

1. Hidden Title. This is the first of three critical items that are coded in the “Head” of every web page. It is the first thing a search engine sees at the top of your page. While this title is visible on browsers, most people ignore it. I’ve seen great sites that have no title at all! Use 3-8 words that describe what you do and flag your site for the search engines.

2. Meta Tag: Keywords. The second item in the “Head” of your page should be a hidden Meta tag with 15-25 words to help people find you. These are words people are likely to enter in a search request to find you. An Accountant might have a string that started with: “Accounting, bookkeeping, records, taxes,….”

3. Meta Tag: Description. The third item in the “Head” is a hidden sentence that describes both your page and your site. Make it vibrant, use as many of your Keywords as possible, and make it accurate. This is a one-sentence description of who you are, what you do, and why people should visit your page. You’ve got 15-20 words. Use them!

4. Visible Title. This is the first thing people will see, and it’s what most people think of as the “title” of their page. Again, you want it to invite people, be accurate, and brief. While a beautiful logo or banner may look nice at the top of your page, remember that 3-5 powerful words will down-load faster. The words in your title will also connect with search engines in a way that your logo can’t.

5. First words on page. The first few seconds as a page down-loads are critical, and a short statement of what you do will down-load faster than most images. First impressions count! And again, search engines can catalog a brief but exciting description of your business, but they won’t catalog your pretty picture!

6. Have multiple pages, each with their own marketing system. A simple way to increase the “hits” on your site is to increase the number of entrance paths. Rather than have one long page, divide it into three pages, each with their own title, meta tags, and descriptions! If your pages are all linked within one site, you vastly increase the opportunities for people to find you.

7. Submit to search tools repeatedly. Search engines constantly up-date and expand their databases. To stay in the game, I suggest you re-submit your site at least once a month and re-submit after every change. Using the web to draw business is an on-going project, not a once and forget it task! There are services that will do this for you (for less than $100), or you can do it yourself. But schedule several hours every month, and do it!

8. Include your web URL on your other advertising. This seems obvious, but lots of people forget. Have your site on your business card, brochures, all of your advertising! If people are interested, want more information, or are just curious, make it easy for them to check you out. Display your URL on everything!

9. Exchange links. One of the best ways to increase traffic, and to target specific audiences, is to trade links with other sites that attract a similar audience. I recommend that you have a page dedicated to “Favorite Links” that have agreed to also put a link to your site on their page. “You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” is a great way to build your web marketing impact.

10. Have something of value that changes often. Give your visitors something they can learn, do, or enjoy each time they visit. Let them sign up for your newsletter, post a “Joke of the Day” or a daily quote. It doesn’t have to relate directly to your business. People love parenting tips, humor, inspiration or practical tips for better living (Think Martha Stewart!). Give them a reason to come back!

Have a wonderful week, and remember to have some fun!

Carrying the Word

Filed under: Support, World Of Self Improvement — admin @ 1:36 am

There are some people in this world that as you watch them never seem to tire. In fact sometime I get tired just watching them. Then there are others that by their nature tend to inspire and create the willingness to get up and do something. William Linville is the later. He is a source of energy and he shares it wherever he goes. Whether it is with the sick or the under motivated he is there to assist. I look forward to his new self improvement book so I can take his words with me. When I forget I will have a review.

There are many places you can go for advise. There is Dear Abby or Dr. Laura. There is the daily bridge column or the Carey Brothers. It all depends on what you are looking for and what you are willing to do with it. Every since viewing William Linville on U tube I have had the confidence that he is a person I would appeal to for self improvement advice. He has a confidence in what he is saying that you do not find everywhere. The way he puts his words together tend to make me think about each one rather than just getting a concept.

Not Your Average Electric Scooter Anymore

Filed under: Business Success — admin @ 8:43 am

With so many styles and features, these aren’t your average scooters and they’re not just for kids anymore!

Both adults and children can gain from the pleasure and convenience of electric scooters. Whether your children want a fun way to zoom around the neighborhood, or you’re college student without transportation to class, or your work commute is too hard on your feet, almost anyone can benefit from an electric scooter.

Most electric scooters are easily compactable, using no dangerous fuels, have short charging times, and quiet motors. Ride your scooter to work or school and store it under your desk. Save time and skip the walk, save money on gasoline, and even do a small favor for the environment. Not only are electric scooters practical, they’re fun!

With quiet riding electric scooters, there are no smelly fumes and no need to mess with gasoline fuel. Plus scooter batteries are recyclable. While many riders choose scooters for the entertainment value, these earth-friendly vehicles are a sensible alternative to automobiles.

There are dozens of scooters to choose from, such as ZAP, GoPed, or Razor just to name a few. Your first step toward purchasing your new scooter is to make a list of what you’re looking for. Manufacturers tailor some scooters for children, with a weight limit and a lower maximum speed. But other scooters go faster and further, supporting more than 200 pounds.

Scooters can cost from under $200 to over $1,000. Whatever your needs, you’re sure to find a scooter in your price range. You can even choose an electric scooter with a seat.

Electric scooters are battery powered and rechargeable. Most charging times are less than eight hours. Your scooter may even have a quick charger.

Do you want to travel in style or do you just want to play in the backyard? There are trendy seated scooters complete with a headlight and rearview mirrors, usually priced around $2,000. More basic stand-up types vary in speeds and range. There are even off-road and stunt scooters for the more adventurous.

Even if your scooter is designed for a multitude of uses, be sure to observe safety. Wear proper attire and obey traffic laws. Avoid quick moving or congested traffic, give pedestrians the right of way, and operate your scooter defensively.

Make sure the scooter’s age recommendation suits your child’s abilities. For example, Razor makes an easy to control, three-wheeled scooter suitable for children as young as two.

Just like learning to drive, you should thoroughly read the users manual and practice enough to feel comfortable before heading out to the open road. And just like your car, don’t drive your scooter while drinking alcohol. It might be a toy, but it can still be dangerous. Find out your local laws regarding scooters in public places. While gas-powered scooters are not allowed on public transportation, you may be able to tote your scooter on the bus.

Take care of your scooter and it will provide you with years of entertainment. Since there are relatively few moving parts, electric scooters are reliable and durable. Many scooter manufacturers sell replacement parts online. Most adults can assemble and repair parts. However, having some bicycle mechanic knowledge certainly helps. The drive belt that powers the scooter is similar to a bicycle’s chain system.

Once you find your perfect electric scooter, make sure you are ready for curious questions and amused onlookers. Scooters are growing in popularity. Manufacturers are developing more creative designs and innovative features each year. Get ready to enter a new world of enjoyment and convenience with your new electric scooter.

Mercedes: Just How Low Should It Go?

Filed under: Business Success — admin @ 2:10 am

Back during the 1980s when Mercedes introduced its first “baby” Mercedes, the car was received with mixed reviews. Motorists loved the car, now a “C” series model, as it made a Mercedes automobile affordable for the middle class. On the other hand, critics worried that the esteemed Mercedes-Benz name would suffer as a car touching the price level of many ordinary American models would soon become part of the line up. Today, even smaller Mercedes are planned for the US market. Will this be a huge mistake for the German automaker or is Mercedes incorporating smart thinking?

To the surprise of many Americans, the Mercedes brand isn’t as pompous or pretentious in Europe as it is in the U.S. Crafty Mercedes-Benz marketing over the years has presented an image of Mercedes as being an ultra-luxury automobile line, a truly superb benchmark from which all other cars are measured. In some respects this image is true, but in reality Mercedes goes well beyond such a narrow definition.

In the European market, Mercedes is known for producing these same high quality luxury cars, but also for producing vehicles that are much more attainable for the masses. Even right now Mercedes sells four models in Europe that are uncharacteristically Mercedes type vehicles, at least for the American market:

Viano - A minivan of sorts, the vehicle can hold as many as eight people and is powered by either a pair of inline four cylinder engines or a 3.5L I6.

Vaneo - A compact van with seating for as many as seven adults. The Vaneo features a sloping roof that quickly drops off to a rear hatch. Powered by 1.6L or 1.9L I4 gasoline engines or a 1.7L diesel.

B Series - Mercedes’ answer to the Volkswagen Golf is its own “B” Series of automobiles. This five door hatchback, which also looks a lot like a Toyota Matrix, comes with six engine choices: four gas engines starting with a 1.5L I4 up to a 2.0L turbocharged four, and two diesels.

A Series - Even smaller than the “B” Series is the “A” Series, three or five door hatchback models about the size of a Toyota Echo. That’s right, a teeny tiny Mercedes! The same six engines offered with the “B” Series are offered in the “A” Series plus one additional diesel for a total of seven engine choices!

Prices for the “A” Series starts around $23,000 when current British to American currency exchange figures are factored in to nearly $29,500 for the “B” Series. The Vaneo and Viano would sell at around $25,550 and $39,800 respectively if today’s European prices were carried over to the U.S.

So, what does Mercedes have in mind? They are hoping to introduce the “B” Series to the U.S. market by 2007. Is this a wise decision? In my opinion it has worked well in Europe, however it would be better for Mercedes to create a new make of cars to include the “B” Series. Much like Toyota has spun off both Lexus and Scion, Mercedes would be better served by creating a separate “down market” brand in order to uphold the Mercedes name.

No, there isn’t anything shameful about any of these small vehicles - in fact, they are a wise idea - however, decades of marketing in the U.S. can certainly be undone overnight by the introduction of any vehicle smaller than the “C” Series to the Mercedes line up. No car as small as the “B” Series would wear a Lexus nameplate, so why should a car of this type wear the Mercedes moniker?

As I said, this is just my opinion. What are your thoughts?

Who is Your Customer?

Filed under: Business Success — admin @ 12:14 pm

When you want to sell something…anything… you need to first know who is going to buy it. Why? Because your ad copy has to be written to that person.

You should actually picture a real person and write to them. It might be someone you know or someone you know about. But it is someone. Give your person a body and a face you can visualize as you begin to write. If you have a photo, tape it up where you can see it as you work. If you don’t, try finding someone in a magazine and cut out his or her picture. SEE your customer. Give him a name.

Then, consider what makes him tick. What does your customer want from life? What worries him? What does she dream about? What are his goals? What motivates her?

Is your customer wealthy, or on the edge of poverty? Well educated… or barely educated? What kind of work does he do? What does she do for fun?

Once you have a firm picture of this person you can direct your advertising directly to him (or her) because you’ll know why your product or service will make his life easier, more fun, healthier, or more prosperous.

With that knowledge, you can decide which benefit is most important and deserves a place in your headline. You can decide how to make a promise that offers something your prospect wants on an emotional level. Only then will you create a headline that jumps off the page and entices your prospect to read the rest of your ad… and then take action.

Home Loans - Repair Credit Errors in Three Days!

Filed under: Business Success — admin @ 10:45 pm

Most consumers are aware that a history of paying bills late or not at all can hurt one’s ability to obtain a loan. All financial transactions are recorded by three credit bureaus and offered to lenders upon request in the form of a credit report. That report contains the all-important credit score, which determines whether or not the borrower is a good risk for a loan. If you have a poor payment history, you could be out of luck when you try to obtain a loan. The same applies if there are errors on your credit report that suggest that you may pose a greater risk to the lender than you really do. Traditionally, it has taken months to straighten out problems on a credit report, and borrowers who are eager to close on a mortgage or home equity loan may not have months to wait. What can be done? A relatively new mortgage-related product known as rapid rescoring can, in some instances, fix problems on a credit report in as little as three days.

We have covered the topic of credit repair in previous articles. The notion that there are companies that can fix bad credit reports is a myth. If you have a history of not paying your bills, no company you can hire can make that particular problem go away. The only way to fix that is to become responsible, pay your bills and retire your credit card balances. On the other hand, if you find yourself ready to buy a home and suddenly discover that there is an error on your credit report that will impair your ability to qualify for a loan or your ability to obtain a good interest rate, there may be a solution. Companies that specialize in rapid rescoring work with both lenders and the credit bureaus to expedite the process of removing errors from a credit report. It’s not magic; you will need to provide written proof that the error is legitimate, but once you submit it to your lender, they can pass it on to the rescoring company, who will handle the rest of the transaction. The process is often completed in three business days, although it can sometimes take as long as two weeks. Still, that’s a tremendous improvement over the one to three months it may have taken in the past.

Rapid rescoring has turned out to be a lucrative business for the companies that specialize in it, and lenders love it because it helps more buyers qualify for loans. While it is a nice service to have available, most consumers would be better off preventing such errors in the first place. The best way to do that is to regularly check your credit report for errors and keep it up to date. You can obtain a copy for free from the free credit report Website. In a pinch, however, rapid rescoring has been a tremendous last-minute tool for saving borrowers from being turned away from the house of their dreams.
