StrandVision Enhances Digital Signage Player – Beefs up Server Resources
Eau Claire, Wis. (ContentDesk) February 13, 2006 -- StrandVision LLC (http://www.strandvision.com), a provider of hosted digital signage services, today announced a significant upgrade to its player that receives digital signage content at customer sites over the Internet. The player increases redundancy and local caching to enhance reliability. In the same vein, StrandVision put an additional server into service to meet the demands of its growing customer base.StrandVision takes a radical new approach to digital signage. Rather than require expensive and complex on-site installations, StrandVision hosts digital signs on its servers and delivers signage content over the Internet directly to local personal computers for showing over local computer monitor, flat screen or television displays.
In this way, single location companies or multi-branch businesses, such as offices, banks, distributorships, medical providers and other organizations, can economically deliver the same or regionalized messages to multiple locations at a fraction of the cost of more complex systems. StrandVision adds local weather and news to further personalize the service to each individual location.StrandVisions player is the software receiver at customer sites that accesses and displays StrandVision digital signage information. The new player automatically communicates with a primary server and rolls over to two backup servers in the event of an interruption. It further assures consistency and uninterrupted signage presentation by preloading pages while others are being displayed. It also uses previously downloaded information when the Internet is slow or entirely disconnected.The new server, capable of supporting over 12,000 customers, enhances speed, stability and security.
It will also provide additional capabilities and serve as a platform for planned future enhancements to the StrandVision digital signage network. The new server and player are direct results of the tremendous response that weve had to StrandVision digital signage, stated Mike Strand, StrandVision founder and CEO. Our customers are thrilled with our hosted service, yet, by adding this technology, we are making our offering wider and deeper. Well continue to enhance our infrastructure as we grow and as our customers discover new ways to use our digital signs.

Humans and the Universe
There are nine well-recognized planets in our Solar System. The Sun, the center of our Solar System is just one star among hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is also just one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. If you will compute how many possible planets are there in the universe, it would be unbelievably enormous. Through this tremendous fact in our universe, scientists and astronomers believe that there may be huge probability of living creatures' existence aside from earthlings.
This probability is as huge as the numbers of existing planets in the universe. Imagine a great number of islands in our planet, the higher the number of islands the greater the possibility of inhabitant discovery. Scientists believe on the existence of aliens, inhabitants of other planets. There would be also a possibility of existence of Earth-like planet in the universe. A simple theory is the existence of twins and identical people living in our...

Anam Cara Making sense of life
In Corrogue this Anam Cara or Soul Friend is coming to his senses.This morning it is a wet and windy Sunday morning. Each Sunday morning is an extended morning of rest. It is a morning of practice. I practice slowly coming to my senses. It is a morning in which I practice deep caring for the body and the soul.
This is a practice of awareness of the sensationalism of life moment to moment.We are beings of the senses. We make sense of our world via the senses. The senses are gateways. They keep us locked into a certain reality but they can be the medium of freedom from the limitation we call "our life." For too long religion has labelled the senses as something "not quite nice." For too long we have separated our senses as being something "not spiritual." Many of our religions have done the same with the sensational experience we call sex. As an Aman Cara I teach spirituality of the senses.
I teach what Van Morrison calls "A sense of wonder." An Anam Cara teaches you to honour...

LCD Televisions
LCD televisions are flat panel televisions that utilize LCD technology, which is already commonly been used in cell phones, calculators, and computer monitors. LCD televisions' display screen has two parallel polarizing panels and a liquid crystal sandwiched between them. Based on the amount of voltage passed through the panels, the rod-shaped liquid crystal molecules will be untwisted to different degrees, limiting the entry of light. Thus, the crystalline layer acts a shutter that either allows or blocks the passage of light. As a result, dark and light patterns are formed on the display, which produces a magnificent picture.
A white backlighting is required in LCD televisions since the LCD pixels do not emit light as in Plasma televisions.
In this, each color pixel is generated by three sub-pixels with red, blue, and green color filters. Unlike plasma and CRT ones, LCD televisions do not have a phosphor dot coating. Hence, they are thin and require much less power...
