Hello All,
This proposed concept is more up the alley of the various Scout Troops across America. Be they: Cub, Brownie, Boy, Girl, and Explorer Scout programs by Troop affiliation or up to a "Boys & Girls Club" outfit in a locality. Where we often see when driving our cars a municipality may have road signage of a "Adopt A Road Program". Well this is where my inspiration came in the form of Patron(s) through a local "Community Foundation" setting can set up a Trust Fund to support local area "Scout Troops". If a local Community Foundation is lacking in any given city than a foundation can be created. Where several patrons can pool together their resources to support such an initiative.
An executor or Trustee that oversees the expenditures from the "Scout Troop Fund" with collected receipts from the Troop staff. Can support a Troop by making sure that camping or other needed equipment is procured, well maintained, and in proper storage. Providing fuel vouchers to Scout Troop staffers that provide their own vehicles in transporting Scouts during an event. If not a chartered transport vehicle can be utilized when needed. For Scouts that qualify based on need to provide assistance in procuring New Uniforms and other Scout member incidentals.
Such a Scout Troop philanthropic fund can also expose the Scouts to local and regional cultural activities beyond that of a camping trip. Such as a local or regional area: Museums, Theater Plays, Musical Concerts, Sporting Events, etc... Patron(s) with a guest can also be invited to tag along such cultural events with a Scout Troop. To see how their donations are making a difference in the lives of the youth. Would be Patron(s) would be solicited by a local "Community Foundation" program if not some other local fund raising "Adopt A Scout Troop Program" area events.
This concept would go a long way to ensure that our youth have stable role models in the various Scout programs already in place across America. Including that such Troops are properly funded and maintained with dedicated staff members.

Games Industry Concept: Virtual Game Publisher Conventions
Hello All,
This conceptual entry for the games industry is one I've had in my collection of notebooks. Many of us know about some game publishers throwing a convention each year for their customer base. One that comes directly to mind is "Sony Online Entertainment", which this has been going on for nearly a decade. In which case I'll use them as an obvious example as I explain how my concept will work out.
For those not aware what a game publisher annual convention entails for its customer base. Well there are various activities that are held. For example the most notable at least to me are the costume contents. That are contests held for the most note worthy costumes from one of the game worlds that players enjoy. Besides that there are game developer "meet and greets" regarding existing or new games in development from that particular game publisher. There may be some panel talks or workshops held about such and such a game world, particularly an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online). There are most famously beautiful models dressed up for certain games being marketed at the time. Where game booths are concerned that showcase playable demo's for a future new game title or expansion to an existing game. And, lastly goodies or what is termed as "Swag", which is merchandising items handed out freely at the game booths.
To be honest I've never had the pleasure to attend such a gamers convention. So if i missed out an obvious show room floor activity you the reader will know why. The reason why I've never attended such a much lauded event is basically due to financial cost. It's not in my personal budget, which may be the majority reason why many gamers only read (watch videos) about such events and not attend them personally.
My concept would change all that by giving game publishers a bridge to reach their customer base in the virtual space. Hopefully as the real world gamer convention is being held by the game publisher at a bricks & mortar locale. In Sony's case it's usually in California near their San Diego headquarters or in Nevada typically Las Vegas.
Let's take three of SOE's MMORPG game worlds as part of this example. One being fantasy in "Everquest 2", one being sci-fi "Star Wars Galaxies", and one being for the youth / children demographic of "Free Realms". This is basically the 3 basic food groups of the MMO gamer out in the world to date.
Now picture in the fantasy, sci-fi, and youth MMORPG that SOE creates in my example a exhibition game zone. That will be themed each year differently consisting for a newly created free content to the game. Such as a village for "Everquest 2 & Free Realms" and a city in "Star Wars Galaxies". For players of all levels to mingle in the shops selling exclusive in-game items for that years convention. Of course a series of story plots following that years theme to the convention will be devised for a set of quests. Next all game worlds will have low to mid player level dungeons developed that tie into the starting village / city scape's or known as the exhibition zone. There will be of course a high level player raid instances developed for all other players in "Everquest 2" or "Star Wars Galaxies".
One additional item these exhibition zones will be like a booster (action) pack using SOE's terminology. Where like a "Worlds Fair" in reality it is left behind for the local populace to enjoy for years to come. In this case it would become part of the MMO game world space delivered as free content. Courtesy of that years particularly themed game publisher convention as a thank you to its online MMO customer base.
If the game publisher wishes to get real fancy in the village / city zone. Develop a media player window set off in a virtual theater location. Where either a live streamed feed via web cams to the convention show room floor is displayed. For gamers that wish to hang out in such a spot in order to tie together the real and virtual conventions as a concept. Where such a media player can also stream "Live or Recorded" events from game developers for whatever is held that day in an activity schedule. So the online gamer in those exhibition zones can feel a part of the game publisher convention but by being logged into their MMO of choice.
---------------------------------
Now if a game publisher wants to showcase games that are not of a MMO genre. These additional details would allow an online web gamers convention to be showcased. To its customers at large who are not subscribers to an existing MMO or to the game media press not able to attend personally.
Consider a portal website that is developed just for that years convention. Showcasing various sections that are invite only such as to the game press in attendance. Or to customers / gamers at large that are curious enough to watch what is ongoing at the real convention room floor.
Events showcased through such a web portal can be similar to what may occur as an E3 trade show convention. But instead of getting it second hand from a plethora of the media press. The game publisher can structure it in such a way that you only see what the game publisher wants you to see. For example, any game developer panel discussions, video game trailers for new or existing games, exclusive Q&A game developer chats just for the web portal audience (usually held right after the scheduled convention floor presentation and Q&A), and lastly a game demo that is playable via a Cloud Computing" service. This last one will take more finesse to explain, picture a service like "Onlive" that is subcontracted by Sony. To tie in a playable game demo that is typically only shown as a convention game booth. But thanks to the wonder of "cloud computing" those at the web portal can play a game demo of a: Sony PlayStation 3, PSP portal game, or just some other PC game title. Web portal users can either plug in a USB game pad controller on their computer systems or use an existing PC keyboard and mouse set-up to play the game demo.
Numerous marketing promotions abound for the game publisher to offer via the MMO exhibition zones or through the online web portal. For instance a yearly sweepstakes can be held for its own customers that attend the virtual game convention. Where the prize is an all expense 3 day 2 night trip to next years onsite game convention being held. Via the web portal to the convention there can be exclusive beta codes handed out to the game press or its registered customers to the web portal for a new game title. Secondary contents held in both the exhibition zones of an MMO or the web portal for merchandising swag. (T-Shirts, Hoodies, Mugs, Hats, Posters, Free Select Game Titles, etc...)
All of this is Doable Today as a concept. It just takes the ingenuity of a game publisher to be invested in such a pursuit. For the game publisher its a "No Brainer" outlet to reach their customer base via a online virtual space. This novel concept would allow game publishers that have no such annual convention in real life. To hold one each year just in a virtual online space. And, for those that do like SOE to augment they're existing game convention with this "Tie In" virtual event each year.
The customers win with free content, and exposure to game titles that will exist or currently do in the MMO space. And certainly game publishers will by promoting their game title products in a unique outlet that can be celebrated each year exclusively.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month
Hello All,
I welcome you to another iteration of the "Jewels of Truth" series for this month of October. This entry the topics will be on: Mentors, Hope, and Peace.
For those preparing here in the States for their "Halloween" festivities. May you to do safely and especially have a ghoulish good time.
-------------------------------
911) Not all teachers are mentors. Mentors are teachers that excel by going the extra mile with their pupil. That focus not on there weaknesses or their faults. But surmount them by looking beyond to the whole individual. Where the pupil will eventually rise to the occasion and become a sublime teacher of his own to the mentor.
Teaching not the lesson plans, but teaching the mentor who they are as a person. Mentors seek to bring balance within the environment of their knowledge base they are instilling into the student. Mentors teach by example and practice in innovative ways that address the core needs of their students. A good student must be receptive and of a reasonable temperament to be allowed to be guided in many different types of instructions.
Teachers only teach the study material at hand making sure of student comprehension. Mentors truly outshine such basic tenets of learning. Mentors get to remold their pupils by an honorable craft that yields hopefully a better individual for society as a whole. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
912) What is Hope?
Hope is based on truth, faith, and love for a better event or circumstance to appear. It is based on a truth for the sake of a purity of a true expression in time. It is based on faith so as to have a positive expectation in one's growth. So as to stir within a sacred intention by an outlook that will nourish the soul and not discourage it. It is based on an unconditional Love for the beauty of such an inspired moment that can only come forth by the "Will of God(dess)".
What to "Hope" for is up to the individual in need. However make sure that your hope is on a true foundation based on a faith in God(dess). Not a hope that is based on vanity nor ego, which will only lead your expectations astray. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
913) Only those that make "Peace" shall have peace of mind. For in the creating of peace there is a solace of the heart and mind that surrenders logic for calm. A calm that only those who know how to be still within their mind can be open to many wondrous things. Peace for its own sake is empty. Peace when it is shared is truly lasting and harmonious. Surrender your havoc and know the healing fortitude that a gentle peace can only offer through unconditional love. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
-------------------------------
Truth has beauty, power and necessity. ---Sylvia Ashton-Warner.
There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. ---Charles Morgan.
Instead of looking for love, give it; constantly renew it in yourself and you will always feel its presence within you. It will always be there smiling at you, gazing on you kindly. ---Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov.

Automobile Concept: Replica Vehicles With A Modern Twist
Hello All,
My concept of a replica vehicle isn't one of those that are authentic down to the engine block. Or a car reproduction kit that can be assembled on your own. Its something more so that a present day auto maker could accommodate into its own assembly line of today.
Picture your favorite vintage or collectible car model (Mine is the Jaguar E-Type) that is reproduced in its exterior body and interior decor only. So consider a modern replica of a classic vehicle done by Jaguar of "TaTa Motors". (The current owners of the Jaguar brand) Let's say its a "Jaguar E-Type" not redesigned like the "Volkswagen, Beetle" model or the "Ford, Thunderbird". But a true replica in the word of its exterior body of the vehicle and an interior decor that mimics the classic design. However the chassis or the under carriage of the vehicle consists of all the modern components that are expected today. Be it: Hybrid Engine, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), a modern Power Train, Multi-Point Fuel Injection, Variable transmission, etc...
The interior of this modern replica "Jaguar E-Type" will follow the classical color interiors with leather seating. However modern amenities such as: GPS, CD Player with MP3 portable jack, Front & Side Curtain Passenger Air Bags, Auto Dimming Lights, Electronic Compass on a Rear View Mirror, Key Less Entry, Wireless Blue Tooth connectivity, etc...
If "TaTa Motors" offered this as a nostalgia to its luxury vehicle customers. I'm sure other luxury auto makers would follow suit be it: BMW, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Alfa Romero, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, etc... Just consider seeing Vintage and Collectible vehicles with a modern replica twist as stated above on today's roads.
These Modern Replica's won't just be for automobile collectors like "Jay Leno". But, accessible to luxury vehicle consumers at comparable prices to a present day BMW or Mercedes Benz car model. Just Imagine the resurgence of vehicle enthusiasts with a new outlook on historic car designs. That have been relegated to today's museums come alive once more on our roadways.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month
Hello All,
I hope the weather in your part of the world is finding you well. Here in south west Florida (Gulf of Mexico coastline) its balmy with the summer heat and late afternoon showers. With a touch of lighting storms, which Florida is infamous for being the most dangerous spot for thunder strikes in the world.
This week I'll be sharing another trio of "Jewels of Truth" on the topics of: Clothing, Being, and Goodness. May you find them thought provoking if not comforting to a degree.
Without a further adieu:
908) Clothing of all sorts and colors be they for: causal wear, work uniforms, or formal wear are often a facsimile of the auric hues of our very soul. Those who enjoy wearing and designing clothing are remembering on a soul level. The wondrous rays of colors all our spirits enjoyed displaying in creation and in heaven itself. The multifaceted shapes and patterns of clothing mimic our souls tendency to communicate via patterns of light and colors. Like many wondrous things in creation, clothing can be a beautiful art form be it in "Au Couture" or in normal daily wear. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
909) Why are we born into a seemingly world of chaos and disorder?
The answer can be as simple and complicated as you wish. We came back as incarnated souls so as to evolve in singular and plural Spirit of God(dess) as his / her entity in this version of manifested creation. Through self-awareness we will grow as souls and relearn how to Love all Life unconditionally. Not as its master, but as its partner and friend. We can not subjugate others and not lose something Holy in the transaction. We who are reawakened by grace can choose to be better for the Holy union of God(dess) within our being. All others will need to wait a while longer in this eternal life, if they ever choose to mature and live a more wholesome lifestyle guided by the Holy Spirit within us all. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
910) All agents of benevolence act as emissaries for the one we call God the majestic. Acts of grace no matter the scale or scope are not forgotten in regards to the service rendered as a servant or worker of the light. For goodness to be given and received there first must be a sacred intent to be committed in action and thought. Everything else becomes secondary making the good that is brought forth in act and gesture. Having a relationship in terms to knowing what goodness and kindness are in service. Is essential in developing one's being and moral character akin to evolution of the soul. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
------------------------------------
Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you. ---Catherine de Hueck Doherty.
Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it. ---Rabindranath Tagore.
For it is only in (love) that one becomes, in materiality, aware of the closeness of relationship to the Creative Forces or God. ---Edgar Cayce Reading 1703-3.

Remembering "Martin Luther King, Jr.'s" Beloved Community
Hello All,
Today more than ever during this period of hostility in our own personal world. If not the greater world at large be it in our Nation and beyond. Makes this philosophy proposed by "Martin Luther King,Jr." harder to pursue and for some is foolish thinking. But as the good reverend would call it the "Beloved Community". In my thoughts I consider this man who has become more Legend in reverence. A Biblical Prophet for our times, albeit an unrecognized one during this age. He wouldn't be the first, nor the last.
During a sermon delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, In Montgomery, Alabama, on November 17, 1957. He said in this excerpt:
"You just keep loving people and keep loving them, even though they're mistreating you. Here's the person who is a neighbor, and this person is doing something wrong to you and all of that. Just keep being friendly to that person. Keep loving them. Don't do anything to embarrass them. Just keep loving them, and they can't stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with bitterness because they're mad because you love them like that. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they'll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That's love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies."
If you've ever wondered why it says to "Love Your Enemies" in the New Testament. There it is explained by the good reverend who was also a student of "Mahatma Gandhi" own philosophy of non violence.
This non-violence isn't wishy washy, there's power and grace in it for its practitioners.
Its up to all of us to choose a better and smarter way to achieve Peace. Not a peace that has no backbone, but a peace that is firmly rooted in each others better half.

This non-violence isn't wishy washy, there's power and grace in it for its practitioners.
Its up to all of us to choose a better and smarter way to achieve Peace. Not a peace that has no backbone, but a peace that is firmly rooted in each others better half.

Communication Console Concept: Hospital Guest To Patient Chat System
Hello All,
It seems for the most part hospital visitations by guests be it family or friends. Is limited to mid 20th century technological restrictions of the land line telephone call. (via a switchboard operator) Or the very traditional in-person hospital visit by a guest.
My concept blows past this traditional model of hospital guest visitations and ushers it into the early 21st century. Picture a communications console not to dissimilar from a laptop computer on a swivel arm attached to a hospital bed. It has a chief monitor, keyboard, microphone, one of several web cams in the room, and speakers. The communication console will also have "Voice Recognition Software" so a patient can go hands free be it in typing or interfacing with the console.
Every hospital guest will need to register themselves with the hospital website. Where they'll be authenticated by registering their Drivers License or State Picture ID card. Since patient security (privacy) is of utmost sensitivity. Besides to avoid every stranger to have access to a patients rooms they shouldn't be communicating with initially. The guest once authenticated will be given an access ID login and password. Where they'll encounter a social networking page provided by the hospital for the patient. Similar to "Facebook" in format with a: Wall for written messages, IRC (Instant Relay Chat) styled chat room, an incorporated secure Twitter page for health updates on the patient, a contact listing of registered guests, a subsequent contact list of on-duty nurses and doctors that are willing to take questions on the patients status, and other novelty applications. (like graphic icons of virtual flowers, etc...) Most importantly there will be a "Web Cam Chat Room" for either one one one video chats. Or multiple guests conversing at a time chatting with the patient.
The hospital can provide a default patient profile setting for their social networking page on the communication console. Which a tech savvy patient can customize to their preferences. The security settings to a patients profile can toggle "on or off" if video chats with audio dialogue is recorded or not. If text chat log is recorded or not, etc... However if a registered guest logging into the communication console of a patient is verbally abusive with the patient of hospital staff. The hospital security staff can override the patient profile setting to record all content. In order to provide evidence of an abusive registered guest from having very limited access to the patient or none at all. The communication console will also provide to the hospital staff with sufficient clearance to view an activity log. The activity log can be in text or a video / audio log that can be scanned to view any signs to a patients health.
The Communication Console like I stated earlier can have more than one situated web camera in the hospital room. In order for the guest to view the patient from multiple angles in the hospital room if the patient is asleep. If a patient is sleeping the Nurse can input an access code to mute all verbal contact with the patient during their rest. The communication console can also have a LED bulb that goes green to red. Green is when a virtual presence has connected and is interacting with the patient. Red is when there are no registered guests on the communication console. If a patient chooses to record any video, audio, or text chats on their profile settings. They can be handed over as a private secure download at their leisure upon their release from the hospital. As a keepsake for themselves or to be shared with close relatives at their discretion.
The 1st generation of these communication consoles can be rolled out to private hospital rooms. As an additional layer of a hospital amenity for the patient to utilize during their stay. The communication console will no doubt revolutionize hospital patient to guest visitations. Allowing relatives & close friends to visit a loved one from across the country or around the globe if need be.

Games Industry Concept: Game Achievements Rewarded With Retailer Incentives
Hello All,
For years now we as gamers with electronic games have reached achievement after achievement within a game title. Where by these milestones only served us in gaining additional ranks, in-game equipment, and status. Now with this concept the model for game achievements will evolve for the better and have a greater meaning to us.
Picture it when you reach anything from a trivial to majestic in-game achievements you'll be rewarded in kind by a retailer. Anything from using your first weapon in a FPS game title that offers you a retailer discount or cash rebate on your purchases. Up to in finishing a single player RPG game title by being rewarded a retailer or VISA cash gift card.
That in a nutshell is this idea that steps us forward as gamers in positive experiences. With a dual meaning for our game play and shopping habits being rewarded with another layer of incentives.
What I'm about to explain below are the intricacies of how such a plan could be pulled off by a company, game league outfit, or game publisher. This is not however one of those gimmicky programs that a gamer deposits his or her own cash to compete to win.
First, I consider this concept an evolution from what game developers already do to a game title. In terms of achievements, be they in the form of: trophies, badges, pins, or insignias in regarding a players milestone in the game title itself. Next, this concept also builds on top of what game publisher Microsoft has done with "Xbox Live" and by offering Xbox point reward system. That can be used for various downloads of media purchases be it: indie game titles, Tv episodes ala iTunes, or other offerings.
My evolution of this concept builds on what game developers and what Microsoft utilizes with Xbox points in a point system. And takes it to the next level by tying gamer achievements in a game title(s) to retailer incentives under 4 Tiers of awards. Where each achievement that is recorded in a game triggers a point system not unlike XBox Live utilizes. But also via the tier system would unlock from least to greatest retailer incentives. Such as: discounts on selected retailers participating in this program, shopper cash rebates by % (low percents for lower achievements, higher for bigger milestones), merchandise coupons be they free items or discount, and Gift or Cash Cards of various denominations. To top it all off contests and sweepstakes that individual players or entire clans or guilds can participate in for a shared prize pool. Be it: a vacation trip to a gamer convention such as "Comic-Con or E3", electronics, computer hardware, cars, cash prizes up to the millions US dollars.
The 4 Tier system would go like this: Bronze Tier 1 offers retailer discounts, Silver Tier 2 offers cash rebates or merchandise coupons, Gold Tier 3 offers Cash or Gift cards, Platinum Tier 4 offers mid to high end prizes.
Participating Corporate Sponsors can be enrolled into this program and be charged a maintenance fee as one of the several revenue streams for this company. Besides any discounts, cash rebates, coupons, or prize items offered up to the program for participating retailers. That commissions can also be paid for member referrals for any of their bonafide tracked consumer purchases. Including advertising from the sponsors that display in this program. Or fee's collected from consumer survey panels for offering their surveys to a locked group of a demographic of gamer enthusiasts.
The reward point system that the users (gamers) accumulate can be redeemed for various prizes from a reward catalog. Similar as to how online consumer survey panels offer their members. There can also be an auction site to bid on prizes with their reward points that have been earned from in-game achievements. Free reward points promotions can be offered by retailers. Or additional points earned when a user redeems and uses their retailer discounts, cash rebates, merchandise coupons, etc...
Targeted corporate sponsors or retailers can be: Computer and software makers, beverage and snack makers, electronic stores, fast food restaurants, clothing stores, music & movie stores, or types of franchise locations, game outlet stores, Mass merchandisers like Walmart, or E-Commerce retailers like Amazon.
This is a concept waiting to be seized by a enterprising company that can see the potential to be had for gamers (consumers). Giving a whole new meaning to in-game achievements from the gamers and retailers perspective.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Month
Hello All,
It's that time of the month again where I share another trio of my wisdom statements. Do note I'm not a daily poster to my blog site. Where I typically make posts after the 15th of any given month. Consisting of one "Jewels of Truth" post and usually two additional "Concept" posts as the plan.
As a frequent reader you'll soon realize that 5 years of this blog being about. That includes 3 "Jewels of Truth" statements per month and the math indicates a whole lot of material to enjoy. On numerous topics just at your finger tips to the right under the index of blog links.
I just wanted to state this in case if someone was wondering.
Now without a further adieu thank you for visiting.
---------------------------------------
905) The characteristics of a soul allow it to be in numerous places at once. Such is the inheritance of being in the "Image of God". These places can be dimensions of being or of ethereal thought itself. Such numerous locales challenges us to grow in maturity as a spirit. Whereby we travel to spheres of living, be it in our dream states or during our waking hours.
All of life that is incarnated has a symbiosis with God in spirit. As extensions of his being whether we accept his Will or not. We travel as souls to where we belong akin to a reflection in a mirror. As life is called a school for the soul we sojourn whilst we're alive as people. To multiple places that cause us to grow and mature if we're paying attention in Spirit. This side of Creation is a nursery for souls of all phases of maturity. In Eternity where their is no mortal age in spirit because we are immortal souls. Again due to being in the "Image of God" we can only grow through a process of maturity, triggered by life events that provoke depth in us. Thus the "Fruit of Life" is encountered and shared as a gift with other kindred souls in this Life.
These places of the soul may consist of fields of pure energy where the formless is given shape by us. The limitations we encounter as humans have no power here. We are limitless without bounds, we are God in infinite slices becoming self-aware. We are the "I Am". ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
906) When a society is divided from itself by divisive ideologies, Lo and behold its own undoing is at hand. Inviting an atmosphere of polarizing behavior that becomes uncivilized and hateful. Where only the fundamentalist view is the true view by those who have become distorted in rhetoric. Such ideologies can be from the secular to the religious in nature and action. Causing only those with exclusive license to spew their bigotry without pause or concern for the public good. All others whom are not of this elitist thinking be they foreign or domestic in citizenry are to be mistrusted and alienated.
Such a path of beliefs will only spiral downwards away from peace and democracy. Leading to civil eruptions be they protests or riots that are violent and antagonistic. Instead of seeking the "Middle Way" of compromise and a compact of a declared public trust in good faith. We will experience ruin in all its chaotic forms until we want not to bleed and hate no more. Nurture instead a spirit of cooperation and compromise to be truly peace makers and not victims of discord. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
907) When an obstacle has been encountered in your life. Know that in each difficulty therein its core is a solution to be found and worked out. However many people give up by inaction only to be swallowed whole with despair. Others yet still choose to self-medicate through destructive addictions to numb their own pain. Where by they dig an even deeper hole of despair unwittingly. The best path of resolution is the constructive path that allows for inner personal work to be accomplished. No matter how slow the pace or if there are "fits and starts" to a solution. Patience, Hope, and Unconditional Love are the keys to unraveling any difficulty under the sun. Be it big in scope or trivial in consequence. All can become better with thoughtful persistence that allows one to overcome and not despair. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Every being is an abode of God, worthy of respect and reverence. ---Hindu Scripture.
Life is a very narrow bridge between two eternities. Be not afraid. ---Rabbi Nachman of Braslav.
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do. ---Voltaire. (aka Francois-Marie Arouet) 1694-1778.

Software Concept: Software Suites For Smart Phones & Apple iPhones
Hello All,
How many software applications are there to date for the iPhone series of smart phones?
One estimate I heard some time ago was that their were 30,000 applications for the games section alone.
What if some forward thinking software developer for Apple or smart phones in general. Decides to bundle many of the higher quality applications into a Software Suite. Similar as to how Microsoft for years now has done the "Windows" series of operating system suites. But in this regard develop it for smart phones in particular be they for: Apple, Google, Microsoft, or some other player in the market place.
Think of it a software suite purchased offering better quality software applications. Than being nickle and dimed ala carte for each individual software application. Yes, there are a plethora of "Free" software apps out there for download. However I'm speaking more towards those that are being purchased at a few dollars or so without knowing if they're any good.
Software suites can consist of a generalized application package with a little bit of everything. Or be specialized that cater to select categories such as: Business, Entertainment, Games, News, Music, Photography, Sports, etc...
On top of all this a software developer can go one further and provide "Customer Service" for their suite packages. Where many of today's software applications are often more self-help by other users. Than anything resembling an air of dedicated customer support be it by: email, online chat, message board, or phone modes of outreach.
So instead of scouring through a sea of app's for a smart phone or Apple's iPhone series. Go instead with a software suite that is of a better quality with actual technical customer service offered.
