New Years 2010-2011

With the world getting "flatter", the push for technology has spread its horizons across the parameters of the universe. The question of diversity has pondered the minds of philosophers from century to century in quest for quantitative answers to everything in existence. These information feeds strive to attain the global platform where all known facts stretch eachothers imagination. By exploring new territories it is found in the depths of distances where exclusive letters have reached the global fields of civilization. These presented views, theories, and structures bring forth a higher sense of reality in the centuries to come. Before stagnation fills the society of despair and depression, one most find their self in the personal stage of content conciousness where life meets reality, and imagination hits growth. By expanding your thinking power, you must travel from hub to hub in search of a developed mind in the state of the art world of 2011.

"Time plus Time, equals Time minus Time"

Time is the showcase of critical function moving in an endless sphere to the outer regions of all the universes combined. The focus on time whether its a capsule waiting to be determined or a bond waiting for its maturity phase, hidden is the underlying meaning of progression and evolution from one time to another time. After written essay's and poems I suggest that time is in fact brought into the world to rotate objects and put into fear that time may end on this planet. Although interpretations exceed natural selection like Charles Darwin, I find the purpose is to acheieve greater growth success by moving life into deeper memories of closure in the end of life. With momentum into further reading, listening, talking or writing, we can obtain our role towards reaching fate on our road to eternal happiness. Time is the owner of the universe where put into balance recieves the ultimate reality of life.

The new Apple iPad was launched last week with a keynote speech from Steve Jobs(see Url at bottom) . Before unleashing the new device, Jobs reviewed the year, with the annoucement of total sales of the iPods, reaching 250 million units sold and a revenue total of nearly $3.5 billion. The new iPad as full internet capablities with e-mail, video and picture storing and viewing. The screen and output is nearly the exact same as on iPod touch with on-board Wi-Fi. After watching the key-note feature, I was split between the iPhone and the e-reader due to the phone capabilities of a smart phone. Although the 9.5 inches by 7.5 inches screen is much better then the iPhone I still prefer the smart phone over the iPad. I have also found upon reading that not many publishers are beginning to switch to the e-reader due to its inexpensive price and low revenue gains. The future of the e-reader is still a toss up but I do believe many businesses and schools will begin to avidly promote the new e-readers available on the market.

Dreams.

So I've been doing some thinking and reading some books on dreams and the relationship between the concious and the subconcious and have found many great correlations in the way we percieve the past and the future. For many a dream is nothing but a maze of memories packed into a story, for others dreams are but an idea or an outlook towards the future concious state. I often wonder if I can control my dreams from a concious world by focusing attention on particular things, hoping to repete themselves in the subconcious mind. Lately I've been able to change the endings of my dreams and even wake-up and fall asleep back into particular dreams. Some dreams I find contain subliminal messages and extra-sensory-perception awareness allowing for a spectaclur feeling especially when you relate your dream to a sequence in the following week of conciousness. Remembering your dreams is the greatest part of the overall experience and living them out is the challenge.

Copenhagen Climate Conference

Last week at the Climate conference in Copenhagen not much was solved and or worked out. The overall climate effect is 3 degrees warmer in the third world countries which will most likely be close to 5 degrees in the coming three years. The United States proposed a debt relief of $10 billion to developing countries (Africa). This $10 billion seems pretty small in comparison to Obama's advancement of upwards $40 billion extra to support the war in Afghanistan. The United States has already spent upwards of $60 billion US for the war and another proposal is in the works for the war in Afghanistan. Due to climate change, Africa has estimated it will lose 70 million of their population due to starvation and another 100 million for lack of fresh water. In comparison to the affects the Western world has done to the developing countries through the greenhouse gas effect, $10 billion seems awfully small for the losses of population these countries will suffer and the amount that the United States has currently spent on funding the war. When sitting down and hashing through the results of the conference, not a whole lot was planned out to benefit the third world. Although $10 billion seems alot for developing countries, these countries may still be taken advantage of in the coming years due to greenhouse gases and climate change.

Individuality

"This is you through self-concept" Individuality is the key to personailty and originality. Through living in ones self image and being different from other human beings, one can distinguish their individualism over all beings and the universe as a whole. Individuality is the pure image or persona of a persons statements, opinions and thoughts. By directing your feelings or thoughts towards your individualism as a human being you may differ yourself from everyone around you including society. With individuality you find the reason to express yourself as an individual and not a person belonging to a social scene. "Don't be afraid to be different" Individuality.

Positioning

Positioning strategies consist of many elements and can potentially be very specific directed. I'm choosing to focus on three positioning strategy headings, Brand value, Competitive differentiation, and Price dimension. When choosing to position your company through one of the three chosen strategies you may decide to focus all your attention on one of the three options. Brand value focuses on the brand as a whole and the image it brings to consumers and instills in their mind. In this case the brand and its image speak for its self and controls the position it holds in the marketplace. Brand value is most often a postioning strategy used by clothing companies, where certain brands and labels are more quality and image driven then others. In the competitive differentiation strategy, the product or service and its features and benefits it holds in comparison to the competitors product or service is what positions it in a way that is superior to the competitors product or service. This positioning strategy is mostly used by car companies where selection and comparison is what purchase decisions are based on. The price dimension is a positioning strategy that all companies could use along with other strategies. The price dimension focuses solely on price compared to market value and competitors price ranges. These three positioning strategies are the most commonly used by business trying to strategize how their product or service fits in the industry and market.
