Electronic Games Concept: Audio Game Play

Hello All,

The next phase of "Audio Game Play" will piggyback onto the smooth less introduction of text chat channels in a MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game world. For example, In an MMO game world in the fashion and order that text chat channels are introduced into game play. IE: Local, Shout, Guild, Commerce (Buying / Selling), Help, Etc...

For each of the text channel listed above in "Audio Game Play" there will be an analogous audio channel to complement it to facilitate game play communications between players and Npc's (Non-Player Characters) via speech recognition dialogue software.

There can be cosmetic voice patterns per player avatar gender / race, so as to maintain atmosphere and game play immersion. Although there will be a technological hurdle in making each player voice unique in a fictitious voice pattern immersion. For example, not having all player male elf avatars all being a cloned voice of the other player or npc. By avoiding the temptation to cut corners in fictitious voice pattern immersion. And to create one cloned voice template for each gender and of each player race. That will get old very fast and become a laugh amongst the customer player community. Better yet still have each player voice unique so as to distinguish people in game play as it is mirrored in reality.

Game developers are already using propriety software in online game worlds. But are often sticking to conventional wisdom of the TeamSpeak or Ventrilo voice chat software. Not literally including the audio channels fully into a game world as contemporary text chat channels do presently.

Mystical Thought: Our Souls Are Always In Heaven!

A Warm Holiday Greetings To All,

This is the next iteration of the "Mystical Thought" series. For those of you yearning for something with meta-physical depth to contemplate over in your mind's eye. Many of these mystical thoughts come to me in a flash whether they have occurred years ago or most recently. Most of my spiritual wisdom writings come to me in a flash as well. Through the medium of "automatic writing" where you allow to be guided by your intuition and not just your mind's ego.

Without a further adieu the topic of today is "Our Souls Are Always In Heaven!". (taken from my most recent spiritual statement #919)

919) As in the Image of God our Creator our Divine souls are in Heaven. Whereas our mortal human sentient bodies are on this Earth where we all co-habitat.
How can we as children of a Living Creator. Be like him and have our souls abode with his Holy Spirit in Heaven?
As we are in the Image of God(dess) as souls, not as humans. We are given this role to constantly abide with our maker in a Holy Realm we call Paradise.
Our souls qualify to reside in numerous dimensions at the same moment in eternity. Whereas we as humans are given the Grace through our spirits as a bridge to remember this glory once more in Creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

(caveat: Souls are also permitted that are of a evil persuasion by free will to abide in Hell the Inferno as they please likewise.)

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is the next batch of my own spiritual wisdom based quotations slash proverbs. (not really sure what to call them any more, maybe "Statements" is more apropos)

May you enjoy them and mull them over as i have from writing them initially. Besides rereading them each time anew in silent contemplation.

------------------------------------------------

843) The power that binds us as one grand being in the living dynamic hearth we call God. Is also the creator that liberates us to pursue our objectives, hopefully for the common good. With true freedom comes responsibility, however not all beings have grasped its meanings. Thus chaos ensues in the universe where misdeeds occur frequently. But for those who comprehend the implications of freedom, Heaven on Earth is often the result. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


844) Every generation of people needs to repeat the lessons of their fore fathers. To gauge truly to see if they have matured sufficiently as a society. Where history repeats itself as many times with each generation of humanity as needed. Those who proclaim never again the atrocities witnessed are naive at best, fools at worst. Lessons of life are akin to a circle, where each generation of people needs to pass so many revolutions of this said circle of life. To gauge their evolution as entities of God, before all of creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


845) I can only Imagine what a soul will encounter upon transcendence of their physical body into the next realm. For those who have experienced near death and speak of a brilliance beyond earthly scope. Perhaps it is being witness to the totality of the one we call God(dess). A Divine Light akin to a celestial star of the Holy Spirit shining and beholding the entirety of creation in one instant. If this is remotely accurate than we have the gift of returning to this moment, time and again in meditation during our worship of the Alpha & Omega. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

-----------------------------------

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. After all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live, we die. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows, any one's life can stand a little of that... ---E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web".

There is no death, only a change of worlds. ---Chief Seattle.

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. ---Indian Proverb.

Solar Power Concept / Prediction: Solar Powered Windows

Hello All,

The concept I offer today is practically a no-brainer that it moves itself into the realm of a prediction. Currently Germany has invested itself heavily into solar power panel manufacturing. They like many other engineers / inventors are looking for the next best solar panel.

My concept is that eventually solar power panels will become solar powered windows. Be they utilized for residential / commercial real estate or within all sorts of vehicles of transportation. These windows slash solar powered panels of tomorrow will be completely transparent as they are today.

They only difference is they'll have a chemical composition between the layers of the window pane. Similar to the make up of a LCD Tv (monitor) a liquid crystal chemical formula that will be an acting solar powered window. (panel)

This will be a boon to construction industries, be they for home residential usage or commercial real estate. Auto makers will also incorporate such a concept into their vehicle windows. Probably in an attempt to augment an existing electric automobile in it's capacity to generate electrical power as it is driven or stationary.

I am no engineer, I only consider myself as a "Oracle Imagineer" in developing these concepts strewn throughout my blog site dating back to 2005. With that clearly stated I'll Predict that such a concept of "Solar Powered Windows" will be created within 10 years from now.

Now to see how astute this concept / prediction is or how mistaken I was to make such a declaration.

Mystical Thought: "We Are Genderless Souls"

Hello All,

I wanted to mix up some of the segments I post here in my blog site. So consider this the introduction of another segment that will be posted on a case by case basis. It will not be a common segment but it may appear later on in the future with another mystical thought.

--------------------------

How dare I say that our souls made in the Image of God(dess) are genderless or in other words "gender-neutral"!

Well I'll break down this mystical meta-physical truth for your intellectual consumption.

In the Judeo-Christian Bible it states that we are all made in the "Image of God". So do you suppose that God(dess) is fashioned only in the guise of a physically incarnated human being?

Being an all-inclusive deity God(dess) both with masculine and feminine natures is rather incarnated as all "Life" itself, including that of Spirit. As is often the case of the Holy Trinity for Catholics including the "Holy Spirit" (Ghost).

However allow me to digress back to the point of how can we be "Genderless Souls"?

Well since we are made in the "Image of God(dess)". Not as a corporal human being but as a Spirit fashioned in the likeness of our Glorious Creator. Our souls all have a shard of God(dess) him/her self within our very spiritual souls. That ethereal shard that is a piece of our maker God(dess) within all of us including all "Life" Itself. That sacred and wondrous piece of Divinity is "Genderless" or "Gender Neutral" within us.

Thus as we are fashioned in the Image and likeness of our Creator God(dess). Our Souls or Highest Self is truly without gender. Encompassing both natures of the masculine and feminine within our most Divine nature by Holy inheritance.

It is suppose to be a Holy paradox or conundrum of our meta-physical make up. That as we are borne into physical flesh with one gender anatomically. Our Soul fashioned with the likeness of God(dess) is genderless (gender neutral).

Knowing this sacred truth how could we as spiritual inheritors of the Kingdom of God. Mistreat our Soulful brothers and sisters that under human terms are: gay, lesbian, or transgendered?

Those that have a foreign sexual orientation to our own are not dissimilar to their very own Divine nature as a genderless (gender neutral) spiritual soul. To be hateful or fearful of our brothers and sisters that are gay, lesbian, or transgendered is to display our cruelest animal nature. Not as Humane Beings but as Barbarians.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is the next three "Jewels of Truth" quotes for your reflection. Followed by a few more "Favorite Quotes of the Day" from other notable people.

Enjoy.

-------------------------

840) In a Democratic State government where the liberties of such a nation are severely restricted. It will cease being a democracy and convert either into a fascist or despotic regime. When liberties are suspended during a time of war. It must be treated with total civil transparency by freedom or the press and a government outreach for social justice. Otherwise the Democratic State enters a period of intense jeopardy of its truest identity. The Democratic State needs to excel in a governing method of compromise. Otherwise rigid polar extreme stances will lead no where, but to an utter collapse of all social institutions of the land. Delegating them to mere puppets of there former selves where fiat tendencies shall lead to ruin for all. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


841) Those who state that "Time heals all wounds" have forgotten one very important rule. That forgiveness must first occur for the internal healing of the wound. Otherwise the grief or anger will fester within one's self like a cancerous tumor. Forgive those whom that have harmed you, and especially one's self for harming others. Than and only then can time begin to heal the wounds of the heart once more. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


842) For those who seek a lifestyle of meaning served by purpose, than listen well. To live rightly is a grace from God(dess) of the most High. Albeit it is not meant to be an easy feat either in its pursuit. To live a life of well being one must find a balance that is appropriate to one's own purpose in life. Once found and understood correctly, then one can live by such a hallmark of fortitude. Otherwise one will wander far and wide in a haze of confusion not valuing themselves truly. Find your balance and it will lead you back to yourself and God(dess) awaiting you with open arms. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

------------------------

Nothing is impossible when we follow our inner guidance, even when its directions may threaten us by reversing our usual logic. ----Gerald Jampolsky, Psychiatrist.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. ---Marin Luther King, Jr.

We are the ones for whom we have been waiting. --- Hopi Elders.

Claiming your own blessedness always leads to a deep desire to bless others. ---Henri Nouwen.

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love. ---Mahatma Gandi.

Computer File Concept: Picture File Format 2.0

Hello All,

Current computer file formats of pictures are of: gif, jpeg, bitmap, etc... All of which consist of a file name limited in text space, a thumbnail image, and the main picture itself.

What my concept introduces is the next evolution of a computer "Picture Format" into the 2.0 era. Taking the lead example of analog photographic paper be it of Kodak or Fuji. Where printed pictures all had a reverse side with a date stamp and additional space for some hand written comments.

Now imagine the Picture Format 2.0 that has a reverse side to it. By having a "Notepad" file attached to the reverse side of the next generation picture format. Where anything from comments to executable programs can be inserted into such a 2.0 picture format. Instead of programming code surrounding an inserted image. The image itself will have room for a program to operate akin to riding piggyback.

Taking all of the current features of a present picture format file as stated above and combining it with a reverse side, such as a "notepad" format file. Where the main picture itself on the bottom right hand corner when moused over will indicate where to reverse the picture. Getting at the notepad file format or perhaps another file format be it a self-contained spreadsheet program like Word or Excel.

This is where analog life can imitate digital life in a very convenient form.

FPS Game Design Concept: Anti-Exploit To Bunny Hoppers And Dolphin Diving

Hello All,

This simple solution in game design for the FPS (first person shooter genre) is an anti-exploit initiative by players that spoil the game's balance of intended game play.

However before I begin allow me to explain what "Dolphin Diving" is in context to a FPS multiplayer game round. It is when a player in quick succession goes from a jump to a prone position in order to avoid an enemy player in virtual combat. Often considered an exploit, much like "Bunny Hoppers", which are players jumping rapidly to avoid defeat in game play when attacked.

Both bunny hoppers and dolphin diving defeat the overall fun of all concerned.

My simple solution to this dilemma which I've never seen fully implemented in FPS game design. Is for example, when a player makes a regular one time jump in game play there are no penalties. However if that same player makes subsequent 2nd, 3rd, and 4th jumps in a consecutive manner. Causes a players stamina depletion to decrease by 25% with each additional jump. Much like adding an extra 10 to 5 pounds of simulated equipment to the player that is bunny hopping. Where the players avatar will be physically exhausted just like depleting their "sprint bar".

A player going into prone position regularly is also fine which mimics realism in combat. But if a player goes from their first prone position to a successful jump that will deplete 50% of their stamina. Another such "Dolphin Diving" attempt will completely wipe out their personal stamina until it recovers normally. The higher stamina depletion versus that of a jumper is due to the combo exploit move of a prone to jump position or vice a versa.

So when an exploiting player in a FPS multiplayer round. Uses such unnatural physical acrobats will get them more likely killed in-game than saved during a virtual combat encounter.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is my monthly iteration of my hobby and personal therapy of writing down inspired spiritual wisdom proverbs. Inspired due to the effect of using a writing technique that's called "automatic writing". Which is allowing your intuition to guide you to which words to line up in a sequence of expression and context.

May you enjoy the next three quotations written around November of last year 2007. My current tally is at number 900, which is hopefully if "God Willing" will be published in Volume 3. Of "The Jewels of Truth" book series, currently I'm taking my time in compiling Volume 2 at a snails pace.

If you enjoy this spiritual wisdom material I've written to date. Volume One "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within" is available in paperback and E-Book formats at any book store as a print on demand title.

Without a further adieu here are the next three all original spiritual wisdom quotes I've authored. Followed by my other favorite segment of "favorite quotes of the day" of other notable people.

---------------------------

837) We are the authors, lovers, and dreamers of this creation. What shall we create with our intentions?

I hope as an entity soul that we as a collective overcome this strife we've brought down upon our heads. As a sliver entity within the macrocosm of God's Spirit as the maker "this to shall pass and fade like the wind". Only unconditional Love can spare us from our self induced madness. That is the grace that God offers all life reborn onto itself. Be still and remember what it is to be Holy once more in the Love of God(dess). Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


838) For those who know in reincarnation suspect rightly so they can follow their inner obligation for this life or cast it away. Those that choose by benevolence to follow their inner dharma will not be dismayed, nor will they suffer hardships that are cruel. Those who are acting upon there obligation by sacred purpose for this life. Will be honored in return by writing upon their hearts and minds there next purpose by grace. It is always a willing companionship to enjoin one's purpose with their truest Love.

Unconditional Love by sacred intention can not be forsaken in one's Divine mission for each lifetime. It is a marriage of hearts and minds all focused on the singularity of ultimate creation. To beget more natural and uplifting well being for all concerned. Be well and know your wishes and desires will be purified with the absolute love of God(dess) in a remarkable display of glory for all that is good. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


839) Half an attempt is no attempt at all. One must be willingly to stretch beyond there own comfort zone. Or risk failing more often than is necessary to achieve what was desired in the first place. A full attempt may fail in effort, but one has pushed themselves beyond what is known to them at that moment in time. Resulting in learning a lesson and personal growth for the next attempt to be even better than the first one. That is if the desired results are sensible and not unrealistic in nature to be achieved by sweat equity. By giving fully to an attempt one succeeds no matter the outcome. Due to the tenacity of the intent akin to a full sense of being earnest. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

All things are possible to a believing heart. ---Flavia Weeden.

Having a dream is as necessary to the heart as love. ---Flavia Weeden.

Game Genre Concept: A Summary Treatise of a Cooperative Game Model

Hello All,

In a world of competitive game play we're all familiar with, that is team versus team sportsmanship. Or individual free for all gamesmanship is very much like a pseudo-form of "athletic combat". To turn this present game model on its head and invert it into a cooperative game model. Instead in overall relation to what has been known to us for thousands of years in various outlets of competitive game theories. Versus athletic or popular parlor games such as: chess, checkers, backgammon, etc... Taking our present competitive game models as a subtle form of combat, be it one Win's and many others lose.

To another level of social involvement in a "cooperative game model". Where mutual reconciliation is the benchmark for all winners based on there relative performance be it individuals to numerous teams in concert with one another. Achievement here is based on mutual cooperation that is the total highest value to be obtained in game play.

There can be two types of a "cooperative game model", one is basic and the other advanced. A basic cooperative game model will have a fixed point as a end goal or objective. An advanced cooperative game play can consist of transitory or random goals as they appear during game play. Be it with an individual or more than two teams involved in conjunction with the other. Thus removing the binary need or only two teams combating each other as usually seen in a competitive game theory.

A "Team" can consist of several sub-cluster mini-groups or niches that the over arching team will seek in duty roles to be accomplished as a threshold goal. Current competitive games can be reworked with a cooperative game model treatment in a creative fashion. Or new game genres can be invented such as: humanitarian, political, or financial. With a cooperative game model treatment layer to showcase the social needs or obtaining mutual end goals.

A) Humanitarian Game Genre: Where several teams have to work together via game play so as to how to recover from a natural or man made disaster.

B) Political Game Genre: Where several teams work out new policy in the creation of laws befitting the common good of all citizens, immigrants, and foreign visitors.

C) Financial Game Genre: Where in the creation of virtual or real capital monies and how it is managed and reinvested.

There can be "Games" that take into account the genres listed above and many others to form a meta-game environment. Where all these factors are at play at once, be it as a social simulation or other form of game play synthesis in comparison to the overall end game objectives.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Today I'll share another three of my original spiritual wisdom quotations for your enjoyment. With my other segment of "Favorite Quotes of the Day" following right behind.

Good day.

-------------------------

834) If one is a simpleton or a child of youth one is closest to the bountiful multitudes of God. Due to the authentic and true behavior displayed by joyful glee of a child, or a simple man or woman. In authentic behavior there are no: lies, deception, half-truths, guile, or even hypocrisy. One must meet truthful behavior directly and honor it for what it truly is. Otherwise one is not encountering the Holy, but the falsehood of all lies in their lives, which is the polar opposite to God(dess) the Merciful. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


835) To understand is to allow the freedom and range of motion by one's comprehension. Understanding comes to those who are sincere in their intention to know. Such a notion of knowing must be based on a total awareness of one's motives. Otherwise a person's intent to understand is led astray or worse tricked into falsehood. To understand the truth as it presents itself is to marvel at the commonplace and sublime in one instant moment. Truth is often at a premium in a world of double-standards. However it is the brightest yardstick to gauge our understanding of our world before us. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


836) Our souls have never left our place near/in God(dess). We that come to be reborn in the physical world are here to love and be loved. To evolve by Grace Unlimited if we choose to by our own permission's sake. Otherwise we are free to wander creation for our good or ill. Our only standard is to live fully and wisely by unconditional love. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

------------------------------------------

At first dreams seem impossible, than improbable, then inevitable. ---Christopher Reeve.

When you whole heartily adopt a "with all your heart" attitude and go all out with the positive principle you can do incredible things. ---Norman Vincent Peele.

To be a champ, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will. ---Sugar Ray Robinson.

Coastal Beach Concept: Anti-Beach Erosion Counter Measure

Hello All,

I've lived in Florida practically my entire lifetime be it in South Florida and now in South West Florida. Each hurricane season after tropical storms or full blown hurricanes unfortunately make landfall. Coastal communities in Florida that depend on tourism need to replenish they're local beach tourist hot spots.

Here in Sarasota Florida that usually means hiring an expensive dredging barge outfit. To dredge sand from near local island keys to replenish lost eroded sand from Siesta Key or elsewhere.

I would like to offer an alternative abstract solution to this costly dilemma by suggesting a "Beach Skirt". A "Beach Skirt" is a tough fabric like material that acts like a sleeve across the shoreline of a particular tourist beach region.

The "Beach Skirt" can be deployed manually with the aid of a vehicle or via a deployment station on either end of the beach shoreline. The beach skirt can be anchored into place beneath the waterline and other buried hooks in the sand. That when deployed in a sweeping fashion without the need of any over head cables. Will horizontally sweep across the beach shoreline of a tourist beach before an anticipated tropical disturbance.

Thus when "Storm Surge" occurs there will be an avoidance of significant beach shoreline erosion. After the danger of a tropical disturbance passes from the region the "Beach Skirt" is merely retracted into storage.

This is the general concept in how to safeguard a coastal regions tourist beach locales.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is an unusual second posting at the end of a month. May you enjoy another three "Jewels of Truth" statements as I was inspired to write them at the time. With the customary "Favorite Quotes of The Day" at the end of this segment based on other quotable persons.

831) Desires are like flowing water, where one seizes a droplet of water there is always more gushing water to be obtained.
So to desire is to be alive. However what one desires must be scrutinized within one's heart. To be of a true need or of a good love for personal wish fulfillment. Otherwise vanity by ego's lead may yield fulfilled desires that are empty and lack of a true soulful craving. ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


832) Idle dreams are like vagabond fools going from place to place and returning home. If a conscious dream lacks substance then it to will more than fade away like dust in the wind. Sub-conscious dreams are of another matter of well being that speaks to your overall spirit within. Their symbolic language is best understood by subtle traits that are mostly personal to the dreamer. Otherwise generalized dream reference materials become an unruly misfit in interpreting your personal sub-conscious dream sleep states. ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


833) To know and love God(dess) is to understand life and death itself. Both are of one act consummated in truth that frees those who comprehend this majesty of being. Albeit one does not need to know God(dess) in totality in order to experience his/her adorement for all. Those of benevolence who venture into the womb of creation with earnest love in their hearts. Will yield the most bountiful harvest of their lives with absolute love as his or her own good fortune. Amen. ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. ---Robert Louis Stevenson.

Your soul mates are not your saviors. ---Gary Zukav.

Gamer Revenue Concept: Game Based Workshops

Hello All,

This concept may well be suited for the more enterprising hardcore gamer and especially for those who run a Gamer Internet Cafe or a Game Software retail business location outlet.

By taking the joy of electronic gaming be it PC, video game console, or portable gaming device. Where those that need aid or are seeking an overall level of enjoyment of a particular game title. Can enroll in a "Gamer Workshop" be it at a Internet Cafe or via an online course offering by an enterprising individual.

The game workshop can be as simple as teaching from a game "strategy guide" that usually sell for $19.95 US. So if the instructor can obtain a volume discount on purchased game strategy guides. To be resold to his / her own students in the workshop at retail prices that adds additional income to the workshop provider. If the workshop is to be held online the game workshop provider can arrange for an affiliation program sign-up (where available). With the game strategy guide publisher via a banner link thus making a commission on referred sales. So the student attendee can obtain a PDF or paperback version of the strategy guide during an online game workshop.

For those game workshop instructors that are subscribers to an MMO game title or any other player of a specific game title. Can teach additional nuance techniques that may not be found in a game strategy guide. Be it the general fair of gamer culture to those who are new comers or casual gamers to this hobby past time.

Those that choose to teach an online "Game Workshop" can obtain a TeamSpeak or Ventrillo chat server. Besides any additional portal website they may utilize, be it a forum community site or otherwise.

For the very spend thrifty who are on a shoe string budget and can not obtain a volume discount on a game strategy guide. Can elect to create their own version of a self-authored strategy guide to teach to their students. Especially if they have self-published the game strategy guide themselves as a new found author. Where they can resell there strategy guides directly to their students making additional income on the side.

The costs associated with a "Game Workshop" are at the discretion of the provider. Be it attendance fee's down to being a reseller of the retail game titles themselves. Such as those who run a gamer software business outlet, franchised or otherwise small business owner. (IE Electronic Boutique or Game Stop) This does not preclude a game software retail outlet partnering with a local gamer Internet cafe outlet to hold such workshop events, be it as a sponsored activity or otherwise.

Hello All,

Here's another batch of my own authored spiritual wisdom based quotations for your enjoyment.

828) We are all a grace onto each other if we choose to be so. Otherwise we do not reach our full potential as a child of Spirit. We are all a reincarnation of the one great maker we call God(dess).

830) Our inner light within our souls is from the torch of God(dess) as an eternal brilliance. This majestic light is the spark of creation from the very beginning.

Civics Concept: American Pledge Of Allegiance Modification

Hello All,

Today's concept is for modifying the often controversial "Under God" statement in our American pledge of Allegiance. Not by making it into further division but in making it totally inclusive.

If my American history serves me right it was under the FDR years that our American pledge of allegiance was altered. To include the now controversial portion "Under God We Trust", since America was founded as a pluralistic Christian nation.

My suggestion to make this modification is to further avoid as a proactive measure anymore civil lawsuits. Much like the one that happened in the late 1990's filed by an atheist father on behalf of his young daughter. That lawsuit against the Federal government went all the way to our Federal Supreme Court. Of course the ruling went against the plaintiff and our American Pledge of Allegiance stays as it is to this day.

My suggestion is very simple, when the person reciting the American pledge of Allegiance comes to the portion "Under God". They can utter God or any other power they uphold whether by faith or political persuasion. Be it Under: God, Goddess, Republican Party, Allah, Jesus Christ, Mohammad, Moses, etc...

It would be the full right of the citizen to choose what to respectfully utter instead of saying "God". This is as all inclusive as one can get by just modifying one word in our American pledge of allegiance. Yes, the word and importance of "God" is absolute. But that is just my personal belief and it may not be for other citizens in America.

As "Tavis Smiley" says on PBS television channel so often and I paraphrase. America has never been so multi: cultural, ethnic, and racial as it is today. Those who are atheists or agnostic can be given the liberty to utter "nothing" when they come to the word of "God".

The rest of us will declare what we hold dearest by Faith.

Military Ordinance Concept: Anti-Vehicular EMP Land Mines

Hello All,

I hardly post about my Imagineer sessions when it comes to military technology. Last time I believe was about a flaw in the US Marine Osprey rotary aircraft when it crashes. I offered a potential solution for Osprey crashes even from within 20 feet off the ground. Where they practically tear the fuselage apart leaving no where safe for an emergency impact that close to the ground.

During this time however I wanted to forecast a anti-vehicular EMP (electro magnetic) land mine. Where in non-shielded vehicles be they civilian or military ground vehicles. When rolling over such a deployed land mine field of such EMP mines can disable a vehicle.

Of course only a vehicle of heavy tonnage can set off such a EMP pulse land mine. Not a mere person stepping on them nor infantry units marching through. Unless they are intermingled with anti-personnel mines but that is another pattern layout for a mine field.

These EMP anti-vehicle land mines can be recharged if they have been triggered. Thus recycling the ordinance out in the field or theater of operation. Be it by a mobile platform recharging station or a fixed location recharging station.

Ideal locations where these EMP pulse anti-vehicle land mines can be deployed. Are in front or a surrounding perimeter around US Embassies abroad, particularly the "Middle East".

By the U.S. border with Mexico to impede drug smuggler operations or coyote human traffickers.

Around other sensitive landmark installations where a suicide bomber in a vehicle loaded with explosives can be neutralized before reaching his / her own target. Be it by oil industrial pipes, petro-chemical refineries, or other locales.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

I hope many fathers out there had a pleasant "Happy Father's Day" this past Sunday.

It seems as of late that I'm only posting the "Jewel's of Truth" original quotations at least once a month. However for our new and old readers alike please note that "Volume 1" of my "Jewels of Truth" is on sale at iUniverse.com. Volume 1 consists of 365 all original spiritual wisdom based quotations for the faithful on the go in our contemporary lives.

Without a further adieu here are another 3 of my spiritual quotes showcased to the world for the first time. (take note of the number sequence, that's how many I have written overall to date)

------------------

822) Prayer, meditation, and contemplation is like a boomer rang. When released truly it circles about through the Holy Spirit. Returning back to the thrower with its resolution in hand. Surrender your requests to Spirit. By doing so they shall circle creation in purified expressions. Allowing the majesty of God(dess) glory to shine upon it. When you are open enough to receive your supplication by sacred intention. It shall bless you and your loved ones with grace of the highest orders of love. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


823) Those that revel in electronic games do so with a zeal. For gamers express themselves in so many profound and subtle terms. Much like an artist depicting a scene before us to enjoy and be captivated by in its fullest splendor. Gamers are learning all the time, but it is by choice if they choose to mature via play. Have fun like children but do so with value of all life in its proper emphasis.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


824) Technologies can be lost, such is the path of knowledge. However by the same token, wisdom is universal and harder yet still to misplace. Only wisdom can surpass knowledge and its creations of technology. Otherwise costly follies will ensue for those that abandon wisdom in the cause of total knowledge. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

---------------------------

Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door. ---Emily Dickinson.

Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them. ---Rabindranath Tagore.

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go out and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ---Howard Thurman.

Public School Support Concept: Schools Adopting A School Program

Hello All,

During this period of "No Child Left Behind" Federal Act mandated by the Federal government here in America for public education. Where drilling students academically nearly in a para-military fashion to gauge they're overall learning for the pupil and the school itself. Has in effect voided the humane process of a public education based on inquiry especially for those schools that receive a failing grade. Many of these failing schools can be found not in the suburbs but in the inner cities of America. Such schools that continue to receive failing grades year after year are punished by removing resources and much needed public education dollars.

Instead of fostering a separate and very unequal public education system in America. My suggested concept comes into play allowing the creme d' la creme of the high grade scoring schools to adopt they're failing grade School cousins within the same school district county.

Each school district can devise the incentives of the high achieving school to adopt a school that matches the same grade levels they both teach. (IE a high school adopts another high school)

What this school to school adoption process entails is the following.

1) A teacher, administrative staff (IE assistant principles), school guidance counselors etc... Will be allowed to have an exchange program for a couple semesters at a time between the schools. So the high performer faculty can rotate to the failing school to serve for a couple semesters. And vice a versa the faculty in need to learning better processes can do so in the role model school.

2) A satellite non-profit "Foundation" is created for the failing grade school. Where excess resources, such as text books, computers, multi-media content, library books, etc.. Can be funneled from the role model school to the failing grade school through the foundation.

The foundation will also serve as a local community outreach fund raiser vehicle. For much needed monies that would otherwise be withheld from the failing school under the "No Child Left Behind" Federal Act. Preferably private donated dollars or other committed resources from the community can lift the ailing school in need. Fund raiser events can be also held in the role model school for their cousin school in need. Teaching perhaps civics and volunteerism to the student population in both schools by such fund raiser events.

3) The Foundation can also foster shared "Workshops" between the schools. Where akin to student tutoring the failing school can be remediated by the role model school and other faculty in the school district.

Such a school adoption process can take many years to reestablish the failing school into a productive passing grade school. But when it does occur the once school in distress of resources and monies will have graduated. The foundation laid in place for the ailing school will stay permanently to continue its mandate for providing what is needed when able.

Like the proud parent that adopted the school in distress they can be allowed to repeat the process all over again with a new school adoptee if they so choose after a cooling off period. The cooling off period will allow additional unofficial mentorship between the former adopted school. Where the role model school can recenter its role in its own local community. By having a time out period to readjust by being on its own again deciding if it will adopt another school within such a program.

Video Game Console Concept: Video Game System Embedded Into Your LCD / Plasma Displays

Hello All,

How many of you remember the days of the CRT televisions with an embedded VCR or DVD player in them?

Well what if carrying that multi-purpose CRT TV sets into the LCD / Plasma TV set age?

Where upon the base of a LCD / Plasma display be it upon a computer monitor or entertainment center. A video game console system is embedded directly into your LCD / Plasma. So if you have a 15"inch display to a 60"inch display you can have your video game system with it. Especially nowadays where the the PS3 (Playstation 3) or the Xbox 360 offer respectively Bluray or HD next generation DVD players with them.

If we can have multi-function PDA's or Cell Phones, why can't we have multi-function TV or Computer Monitor sets?

For those LCD / Plasma displays that hang on your wall instead. The base can be extended downward keeping the overall thickness of the set top display. Allowing the video game console system to be embedded into the base. Much like today's "Server Blades" that IBM has showcased in the past via commercials.

Having the video game console system configured into a blade design slipping right into the overall thickness of today's LCD / Plasma displays.

It can be done, it's just the video games industry hasn't envisioned it yet.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Greetings Readers,

Thank you for stopping by from your busy day today. I just wanted to share another iteration of my "Jewels of Truth" series with many of you. So that it may expand your consciousness by the very act of sharing wisdom which is a very precious commodity in this crazy world of ours.

Enjoy and always pass it on where you so feel moved to do so by your own discretion. Thank you.

------------------

819) To those who seek the meaning of life with all its wonders and secrets. The seeking isn't in the destination nor in the journey. It is truly in the meaning it is prescribed to in one's own heart. If one truly sought the totality that life is, than one is seeking God in his infinite outlets. The intention of the sacred is what will bind you to awakening the Divine within. Thus the "Book of Life" will no longer read as gibberish. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


820) Those who seek approval from outside themselves will never truly find it. For true approval of one's identity comes from within your soul, where God lives in you. Those who seek acceptance have a better chance of finding it outside themselves. Where respect may be earned but at a cost, whether deserved by dignity or by the fear of others. Acceptance from others is like vanity, it can be very fickle. Adoration is not meant to replace approval or acceptance. It is truly meant for those who are beloved.

Where do you find your grace? ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


821) There is only one love we know as God(dess). All Love in its infinite forms emanates from the very center of God's being. It has always been "One Love with many outlets". This one love binds all as one blanket of warmth across eternity. In the sweetest eternal embrace for all life in all realms of creation. God(dess) is for all Lovers of any sort as they desire to express their grace within. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

The practice of art isn't to make a living. It's to make your soul grow. ---Kurt Vonnegut.

It is not enough to do good; one must do it the right way. ---John Morley. (1838-1923)

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies. ---Aristotle.

Cable Tv Industry Concept: Viewer Surveys Stops Fast Forwarding Past Commericals

Hello All,

Comcast is my local television cable operator in my county of Florida. I'm also the proud user of their "DVR" (Digital Video Recorder) service allowing me to pause live television or record programs I enjoy whilst I do other activities. As the introduction of DVR capable devices via services like Tivo that ushered forth the technology originally. Television viewers have for the most part leaped to fast forwarding past nuisance commercials. To get to the meat of the programming they're tuned in for particularly.

My concept would allow cable Tv or satellite operators to re-center viewer attention onto said commercials. By scattering incentives to Tv viewers to actually pay attention and via remote control have limited interaction with said commercials.

Right now on the Internet there is a survey site that offers prizes via a point system for Tv viewers. They're called "Reward Tv" where viewers sign-up for free and list which national Tv channel programming they've watched. Via online questionnaires tied to a reward point system they answer questions to what was aired during the programs events including said commercials.

Now borrowing said format to a small degree a Cable or Satellite Tv operator offers a "Consumer Survey Panel" to its subscribers. Let's say a cross-branding of AC Nielsen or some other prominent national survey firm. Where cable or dish satellite subscribers sign-up for free through their remote controls and a pin number to this consumer survey panel. In return for watching any program they choose according to their own personal viewership schedule.

Randomly with there DVR service an alert will flash across there screen or an icon will blink onto the screen denoting a survey opportunity. The Tv viewer will than with their DVR service pause "Live Television" and start the survey that was randomly offered to them. The survey can be anything of demographic value to something akin that "Reward Tv" already does with Internet users who watch television.

The incentives for Tv cable or satellite subscribers to enroll in such a "consumer survey panel". Is they can get prizes, enter sweepstakes, product discount coupons based off the commercials, product coupons of free samples of said commercials, gain reward points for redemption via a gift catalog, or receive a small discount on their Cable or Satellite bill during said month. The later incentive would be something akin to what my electric utility company (Florida Power & Light) does with a metered electricity conservation service called "On Call".

Where each month the "On Call" service offers me a monthly credit of a few dollars on my electric utility bill. So the incentive of a monthly credit on a cable or satellite Tv subscriber to their bill would be another hook to deploy for joining the consumer survey Tv panel.

This is practically a Win / Win / Win scenario where Cable / Satellite operators, there commercial sponsors, and consumers all get incentives. Whilst reducing DVR users from fast forwarding past commercials but now gaining valuable near "Live" survey panelist feedback from Tv audiences.

Jewels of Truth Quotation & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Greetings,

Today while I'm still in the inspired mood I wanted to share my latest spiritual wisdom based quotation. Just penned by me less than an hour ago for your enjoyment.

----------------------

871) Unconditional love is not just a pleasurable emotion, it is a force of the highest order. This is the force many call God(dess) itself that permeates the entire of creation for an eternity. So when one loves without self-imposed limits they are by such a very act invoking God(dess) into their life by willful permission. Such a invocation of pure intent enacts miracles and wonders that the agents of grace. May perform for the highest and total good for all that are open to receive such a benediction from God. So love with conditions is warped and of the human ego. Love without conditions is divine and of God(dess). Amen to the Almighty! ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

--------------------

Even if our efforts of attention seen for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul. ---Simone Weil.

To not know, but do the best as is known, felt, experienced in self, to him it is counted as righteousness. ---Edgar Cayce Reading 1728-2.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. ---Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is another iteration of my spiritual wisdom quotations for your enjoyment.

Have a good day.

----------------------

816) The subjective thought is inherent to the human spirit. For without subjectivity humanity would be divorced from his/her own soul. Albeit objectivity is a must in maintaining sublime order, otherwise chaos ensues. But a harmony needs to be struck between the subjective and objective capacities. In that the Kingdom of God matures in its own grace. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

817) To accept and approve of one's actions or character is not the same act. When accepting of a person or event, one is respecting this person or occurrence. However when one approves of a persons conduct or actions one is then supporting such a person, ideology, or circumstance. There is clearly a distinction between acceptance and approval of ones conduct or of there ongoings. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

818) There is no desire in Heaven, for there is no need. All of the riches of eternal creation are offered abundantly and unceasing. This is truly the utopia that all civilizations attempt to mimic themselves by example. Only a minuscule number of civilizations ever come that far due to unruly ideologies and selfish egos. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Resort Concept: Themed Entertainment Hotel Resort

Hello All,

Many of us whom have the spirit of wonder within are always delighted to visit an amusement park. No matter our age, be it a child to a senior citizen, the youth factor is eternal. With that said unless you live close to a regional hub say Orlando Florida to the numerous sorts of Amusement Park destinations. You may be restricted to visiting such places to once a year if not much less during a course of your lifetime.

What if instead the Amusement Park experience was transplanted into a hotel resort experience instead. Where upon the resort guests are treated along the way in tandem as amusement park patrons. By the numerous layered interactive experiences to be had in such a translation of a themed hotel resort.

The themes can be from the typical fantasy to science fiction. Although additional genres will be welcomed like that of a historical period, be it 17th century Caribbean to a resort complex modeled similar to a Buddhist Shrine or Monastery.

The interactive aspects for the resort guests can be educational to entertainment or both. Right now Universal Studios is constructing an amusement park in Orlando Florida based upon the Harry Potter fantasy franchise of J.K. Rowlings. A themed hotel resort under the Harry Potter franchise treatment would resemble "Hoggwarts Academy". Where typical hotel rooms of single occupancy to full blown pent house suites. Will fall under the decor of a "What If" this was really "Hoggwarts Academy"? Where the walled paintings come to life as if haunted by the deceased. Doors creak as if in a medieval English manor and hotel staff dressed to the tee as if they were in a Harry Potter amusement park.

Each room besides of having the typical Television announcing resort activities on a special localized channel. Can have a kiosk in each hotel room that acts akin to a local PC entertainment hub. Where either temporary accounts as hotel guests can be registered to take part of the interactive gamer Esq offerings of the themed resort. Or those with a permanent account from Home can sign in to continue game play. As they would from a Harry Potter type of electronic online game. The localized hotel room kiosk is the local media hub portal to the entire themed hotel resort.

The interactive media experiences across such a themed resort can vary from online gamers competing against those at the hotel resort. To unique avatar (player characters) created dungeons experienced interactively as a localized pavilion in the themed resort. Sometimes the hotel resort can be treated as one Meta game pavilion that is seamless for the hotel guest. As if traveling the fictitious lands of the Harry Potter franchise.

Similar to a shopper as a casual gamer experiencing the novelty for the first time. Walking into a hotel gift shop where the hotel guest is greeted by there avatar name as an honored guest. (this can be done where the hotel guest wears a RFID (radio frequency identity) name tag) That tracks and records the progress and experiences of the player created avatar of the hotel resort guest. Where continuing with the hotel gift shop example the hotel guest will be offered incentives similar to a frequent buyers program. (especially if the guest has logged into a home account as referred to the hotel room kiosk example above) Somewhat similar to what a hotel resort may offer to preferred guests with an amenities program.

This is just a glimpse of what I have in mind in the business model of a themed hotel resort. That mimics a 21st century amusement park of tomorrow that could exist today.

A Jewels of Truth Moment This Easter Day

Hello All and A Happy Easter To You.


No matter if your a Christian or not. Today is the most sacred day of the Christian Gregorian Calender where the resurrection of Christ is celebrated for all alike. For non Christians today can be a day of meaning and a lesson to grow upon about renewal. Much what mother nature offers us all via Spring each year.

With all this said i would like to share my most recent spiritual wisdom based quotation. One that was just penned moments ago where the body of the message sounds more of that of a follower of reason than of faith. Nonetheless it does embody the sacred Divine human soul as its underpinnings.

Without further adieu:

866) All religions are glorified philosophies placed on a sacred pedestal of tradition. None are immune to discord from within to without of their devotees. All religions have sacred immutable truths that transcend human nature itself. It is for the wise of heart to distinguish this form of divinity from the noise and chatter of an undisciplined mind, heart, and spirit. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. ---Frederich Nietzsche.

Prediction: Cigarette Black Markets (Avoiding Taxes)

Hello All,

I only make a few predictions when I post here to my blog site. With that stated when I see a trend that has been evolving for nearly a generation now. It is nearly safe to make this prediction that cigarettes will eventually be so consumer cost prohibitive that they will be criminalized in use.

Recently the State of Florida has passed legislature that would increase the tax on Cigarette sales by a full US Dollar. I'm not poo-pooing this since I myself am a non-smoker. Since the increased State tax revenue I believe will be going toward education dollars of our State wide school system.

Already in this recession we're in across the Nation taxes on cigarettes be it a full cartoon or by the pack. Is becoming cost prohibitive to the point a "Black Market" will take advantage of this imposed trend on consumers. Whether this black market appears in your local streets from peddlers or by the Internet E-Commerce websites based off-shore.

State and local governments are hell bent on increasing taxes on cigarettes to the point of an eventual soft prohibition. Where it can be argued due to the health effects that State governments are outlaying on health care costs for smokers (past or present). That a prohibition of cigarettes will be occurring classifying them as an illegal substance at least in the U.S. . Abroad internationally this will be clearly a different story in non-Western nations where cigarette manufacturers are making the bulk of their income.

When and not so much If cigarettes become a form of legalized prohibition in America. Be it by making them very consumer cost prohibitive as a luxury goods at least when taxes are involved.
A soft form of prohibition could be regulated into place concerning the usage of cigarettes.

Where law enforcement will begin to chase its own tail with additional responsibilities in policing this trend. Of closing down black markets of cigarette sales that are avoiding paying taxes at retail. Doubling this where cigarette goods will be imported by smugglers much like in drug & human traffickers that is occurring today in America. So as to supply said black markets from abroad where cigarette use will be sky rocketing like it was in the U.S. 1940's.

It's not so much a form of human rights to protect the health of non-western nations (consumers) when concerning the usage of cigarette smoking. But that's another topic I will not get into currently.

Anti-Sexual Assault Concept: Contempory Chastity Belts

Hello All,

This topic and subsequent concept is more so taboo but nonetheless innovative in protection from a sexual assault aka rape. This is a modern update of the older Victorian chastity belt women of higher status usually wore while they were still maidens. It can be utilized by civilian women but it is also geared to women in the military armed forces.

To date where the US Armed Forces deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan are being confronted with a higher incident rates of: marital divorce, suicides, desertions, rape (both civilians & military personnel from there own ranks), and misc criminality.

This innovation of the chastity belt is designed to protect women in the military forces deployed. However it can find a dual purpose utilization here in civilian use during daily living. For military women that are deployed in combat duty operations where rape could occur in enemy hands this is a must.

There are two models I would like to mention one is Passive the other Aggressive in nature.

First, the Passive design is a 2.0 version update from the traditional version your great grandmother may have worn during Victorian times.

This one is similar in a wrap around belt and sheath covering any female sexual organs and rectum. However the materials are modern be it a kevlar type weave that can deflect knife thrust or a bullet shot. The locking mechanism can be a tumbler design combination down to a similar lock used by your mail man to open a secured mailbox. (pun not intended) Of course carrying the key during use would defeat the purpose of wearing a chastity belt to begin with.

Another locking mechanism can be similar to a unique digital 128 bit encrypted key code randomly generated. Where the user would need a qualifying pin code to authentic and open the lock.

Second. the Aggressive design is more sadistic in nature and very brutal mutilation towards the rapist attacker.

A female wearer will continue to have the typical Kevlar mesh like cord covering her rectum typically found in a traditional chastity belt design. Noting the kevlar mesh cording would be insulated in a soft like foam exterior to minimize irritations during use.

The portion protecting the female sexual organs is inserted through a mechanical clamp hand tool. The exterior is similar in composition to what is covering the kevlar mesh weave cord protecting a woman's rectum. In this case a foam exterior inserted into the vagina. The interior lethal portion is the compromised of several razors at differing angles. Akin to a cheese grader on steroids if an attacking rapist inserts his penis by force into such an aggressive chastity belt. He will certainly mutilate his penis and if he yanks out his penis in a jerked reaction he will most likely sever his penis from his body.

Such an Aggressive counter measure device will deter one or more rapists during a sexual assault attack. If multiple attackers (gang bang) after witnessing the first rapist mutilated. The subsequent rapists may be in shock and retreat during the ensuing chaos. If not the female wearer would have an equal opportunity during the sexual assault to flee for safety.

Yes, the aggressive version is sadistic but it is an excellent deterrent from being sexually assaulted. Again the Passive version will also do the job but at less shocking mayhem.

Nonetheless in our Western period of hedonism where sexual media is on the rise. Having consequences of increased sexual abuse not just to children but to woman at an alarming rate globally. (especially in a war zone or in civil unrest) This can be one of the first lines of proactive defense a woman can utilize to her discreet advantage.

A Divine Excursion

Greetings,

From time to time i like to break from the norm and throw a little diddy of my own writings that doesn't include a quotation. Since I hope your aware all my material is an inspired work accomplished via "automatic writing" technique. Basically that is getting out of my own way and allowing the spirit of God within to flow unconditionally.

Here are two examples of what i mean:

"Soulful Equilibrium"
---------------------------------

As Christ calmed the storm waging in the sea's by expressing the tranquil calm nature of his soul. As if a mirror effect upon the weather of nature, and upon his internal nature of being. Which both forms of nature within to without are one, and are not divided realities.

If one is in turmoil within a constant storm in terms of karma they will be brewing about in such angst. The obverse is simultaneously true if one has self-control one will continuously prosper in the harmony & love of God(dess).

This is the karmic reality of manifestations, be mindful of your soulful equilibrium always. Amen. --- Ivan / Atrayo.


"Mantra of Wellness"
-----------------------------------
1) Stand your ground by faith and love.
2) Dwell upon the sublime wonder, in what i term the "Bright Zone".
3) Raise your personal vibration allowing grace to flow within your being.
4) Being in the flow of life your holistic richness & abundance increases.
5) Love / Worship God(dess) totally with gratitude.
6) I will then want for nothing.
7) All will be in Peace and Harmony within to without.
--- Ivan / Atrayo.

Enjoy using this method of awareness in what ways you see fit.

Namaste Always.

Banking Concept: Universal Reward Credit Card

Hello All,

How many of you have a branded credit card from a bank that offers a reward program associated with it? Be it a VISA, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover, etc... bank offered credit card.

Well how about for an annual fee of around $80 US paid in one payment to your bank. Where your bank offers you a "Universal Reward Credit Card". What this means is you as a customer can select up to 12 reward programs that are cross-branded from various outlets. Be it from a gasoline station to an online service like MyPoints for frequent shoppers.

So instead of your regular reward program credit card that rewards you per transaction. A "Universal Reward Credit Card" can have up to 12 cross-branded reward programs on board. Upon sign-up the customer merely selects from a list of a few dozen reward programs. Once those 12 are selected for example they are associated with your "Universal Reward Credit Card". But if the customer decides to toggle out one reward program for another there can be a one time courtesy period to do so. After that a minor fee can be charged when a customer decides to switch a reward program for another outside the grace period.

Picture a customer using their "Universal Reward Credit Card" where on board of such a credit card are 12 reward programs. So that each transaction the customer gets a dozen different reward program transactions upon usage. Instead of the typical one transaction reward program credit cards that exist today.
