Games Industry Concept: Breaching The 64 Player Cap On Multiplayer Games

Hello All,

In my opinion the 64 player cap on multiplayer game servers mostly in the FPS genre is artificial. Set in place because its been done before and doesn't break new ground in software development costs. Be it set down on paper by the game publisher or the development studio with the limited resources they may have at their disposable.

If the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console now pushing around eight years old in hardware specs. Can have a game development studio of "Zipper Interactive" produce the FPS game called "Mag" (Massive Action Game). That provides a multiplayer game experience of 256 players in the FPS genre. Its because it can be done not just for video game consoles, but for PC's as well. Some game developers may cop out stating that the game could support higher number of players. But it wouldn't play right. Well the dirty little secret is they built the level map designs for only 32 or so players. That's why it won't play right to begin with from the start.

Aside from this minor rant on my part I digress and would like to provide a concept that can break new ground for game developers. That's if they have the resolve and vision to pursue the nearly decade long 64 player game server cap that has been self-imposed.

Take for instance how "Intel" the computer chip CPU maker first offered the "Duel Core" and than the "Quad Core" computer chips. I state this as a engineering barrier being broken by Intel where for decades prior it was always a mono core computer chip. Than someone or a group of computer architectural engineers came up with the simple but brilliant idea to stack the computer CPU chips.

My concept is nearly identical, why not stack several instances of a virtual 64 player game servers. Until 256 simultaneous gamers can be achieved in multiplayer game server. By Instances I mean like the instances we encounter as gamers in a MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game setting. Where if need be a zoning loading screen to cross between 64 player virtual instances if the restriction is needed. Albeit a seamless crossing from 64 player instance to the next virtual instance would be preferred in game play. Be it in a FPS or RPG genre such as a "Battlefield Franchise" game or a multiplayer "Never Winter Nights" D&D (Dungeon and Dragons) setting.

In so far the only place I've ever had the gaming pleasure to game in a FPS setting beyond the 64 player capacity. Is in the original "Planetside" MMOFPS offered by "Sony Online Entertainment". Which ironically is the same parent company that "Zipper Interactive" that provided the FPS game "Mag" for the PlayStation 3 via "Sony Computer Entertainment of America" game publisher. Not to frown on Sony, but are they the only game publisher to have the vision for gamers? To provide games that surpass the 64 player cap on multiplayer server games?

I hope not, since the leadership hasn't come from "Electronic Arts" nor from "Activision" the leading FPS genre of game publishers. I suspect it will be some Independent game studio that will take the world by storm by breaking such a barrier for the PC platform. Although technically the prize does belong to "Zipper Interactive" for the video game console of the PlayStation 3.

Its self explanatory to gamers what sheer enjoyment if the structure and game design features of a command and control. That is both fun and provoking within a 256 player game server would offer us all. If widely adopted I could envision game LAN's and game leagues alike becoming early users of such 256 player multiplayer servers. Besides the crop of game server rental vendors waiting to serve their customer base all to readily.

Just picture the single player campaign maps of "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" (By EA / DICE) each offering 32 player limit for the PC platform. (24 players on the game consoles). Eight such maps linked together via virtual instances to reach the 256 player capacity in game server multiplayer play all on "Rush or Conquest" Mode. If a game server doesn't become filled to capacity. Then only the X number of maps that are utilized where the rest are dormant until a minimum number of players login.

This can be done if only the leadership and vision was offered to gamers and the electronic games industry as a whole.

Electronic Industry Concept: "A 2D and 3D View Television Set"

Hello All,

How many of you remember those VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) and DVD (Digital Video Disc) combo players as the DVD format was first making its debut?

Now consider the recent market launch of the "Nintendo 3DS" portable gaming device. The above question and the "Nintendo 3DS" is what gave me the inspiration to come up with a television that is a bridge device. Between regular two dimensional Tv viewing we've been doing for decades. And a Tv set capable of switching to three dimensions or 3D on the fly by a touch of a remote control. The kicker is no wonky cumbersome 3D glasses are required following the proof of concept that Nintendo has provided with their 3DS portable gaming device.

Here's the link to the official "Nintendo 3DS" website to understand what I mean:

http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/hardware

The "Nintendo 3DS" requires no 3D glasses and by the pull of a lever it seamlessly converts to 3D and back to 2D viewing during game play. If a gamer prefers to keep the lever in-between both viewing modes they can without effecting game play whatsoever.

Keeping what I just explained above in mind. Consider a television set like that old VCR / DVD combo player I mentioned at the very top. As one media format (IE the VCR) joined at the hip to the next future iteration of technology such as the DVD format. Here we come full circle with a television capable of displaying both 2D and 3D without those annoying 3D glasses. All by the touch of your remote control. So if your watching regular television, a Blu-Ray disc movie, Pay Per View, or Video On-Demand. You can press your remote control like a maniac switching between 2D and 3D viewing formats if you like.

Those that do their web Internet surfing via the television. Like a "Web Tv" will be one of the first to experience the Net in full 3D interactions. Besides those that have a Home Media Center and connect to "Facebook" or "YouTube" through a capable 2D / 3D Tv set can do so.

Such a mixed mode in viewing dimensions of a television set will act like a societal training wheels electronic device. Prepping us old timers from the last vestiges of analog 2D television into the era of a true 3D television. Like I stated prior this is a Bridge Device where one generation bows out allowing the next one to take over. Of course those that refuse to adopt a stand alone 3D television without those wonky 3D glasses. Can still enjoy all the bells and whistles provided with a modern Tv set that caters to 3D. But all the while still enjoying the old fashioned 2D viewing format.

This type of television set is a no-brainer being indicative what has come before us in electronic technology and what is yet to come. Let's see who of the television manufacturers will come out of the gate first with such a model for consumers world-wide?

By the way I would call such a television set "The View". (No relation to the "Barbara Walters" talk show) Because of its capability to switch between views of 2D and 3D formats.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

Its that time of the month again for another trio of all original spiritual wisdom statements from the "Jewels of Truth" series. This months three statements are on the topics of: a baby face, decisions, and God(dess).

Be well and enjoy yourselves throughout this day.

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

933) Those with a "Baby Face" are blessed for having witnessed the face of God far longer than what is customary. Their youthful visage is a silent testimony of the beauty of an inner spirit. Without question any who witness true love by a truthful and genuine experience has shared in the wonder of what God has to offer all life. The gentle touch of a vibrant soul. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

934) When making decisions of importance listen first to your heart using intuition as your guiding light of the soul. Next using the faculty of your "Mind's Eye" use wise discernment to give you the strength of conviction to follow through. Both the heart and mind are the principals to utilize when making decisions that matter to you and your loved ones always by a grace that knows no bounds. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

935) God(dess), as a creator of all known and unknown is a deity outside the confines of "Good and Evil" as a paradox. God's, majestic reign crosses both the mundane and the extraordinary. Beyond eternity and infinity, where simultaneously all of life and death is anew in the splendor of totality. Many choose to see God as the chief arbitrator disseminating justice to the good and punishment to the wicked. God(dess), is a creator of both truth and beauty revitalizing life through the cycles of all that is natural and artificial. The breath of life comes in many forms. Who amongst his creations is to deny another holy entity their truth of being. None, unless they be confused and foolish to pursue a path of lies.

Those who accept the "Will of God" do so by their inherent free divine will. It is a total acceptance, however it is the journey to a wonder that will take many lifetimes. As each life accepts the contract of their destiny once more. The pertinent discoveries of self shall continue and the blessings to follow will certainly unleash more glories upon the many that shall be restorative for all. Those who forsake the "Will of God" abandon their divinity on the table of life. They walk away from themselves not fully realizing the consequences of their choice. They may lament that life is unfair, but life is not meant to be fair in and of itself. It is meant for the lovers and the haters to discover their purpose. One seeks unity the other chaos, both are united not knowing the struggle has a purpose to teach and to learn. To love and to heal, to restore and to undo what has been caused in error, and most of all to be with God(dess). Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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

We live on the brink of disaster because we do not know how to let life alone. We do not respect the living and fruitful contradictions and paradoxes of which true life is full. ---Thomas Merton.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. ---Michael Jordan.

The greatest gift one can give is thanksgiving. In giving gifts, we give what we can spare, but in giving thanks we give ourselves. ---David Steindl-Rast.
Gratefulness, "The Heart of Prayer".

Jewels of Truth Series: "Making Prayers & Dreams Come True"

Hello All,

Here is another foray into new material just penned today out of the future Volume 4 of this "Jewels of Truth" series. That I consider to be notable for sharing and insightful in a metaphysical sense as to what makes a sincere prayer or dream come alive.

Enjoy it, as I have enjoyed stumbling across it during contemplation.

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

"Making Prayers & Dreams Come True"

1137) Making both prayers and dreams come true by a sincere manifestation. According to the precepts of benevolence for oneself and especially that of others is the "Will of God(dess)". To activate a prayer or a dream via visualization within the "Mind's Eye". Is to do so with surrender in your heart, for whatever is constructed by thought through the mind. Must also be surrendered by the spiritual heart within. However a descriptive prayer or a dream by visualization is not sufficient on its own articulation. One must add the power of an Unconditional "Love" into the blend through the hearts surrender with an inborn gratitude. Doing so invites automatically the God(dess) of Absolute Love to take hold with his / her Divine Angels as the Messengers of goodwill. The catalyst power or grace to any prayer of supplication or of a dream is the hearts unconditional Love always. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Channeled / Probability: U.S. Naval Stationary Underwater Tech Harming Sea Life

Hello All,

I hardly disclose so directly my other intuitive gifts so openly when I receive such material by channeling. Since everything on this blog site for the past 5 years plus is attributed to my claircognizance (knowing facts and details beyond my personal means) and automatic writing ability.

With that notice out of the way. I would like the reader of this entry to at least Consider This Option as a probability that it is occurring.

Before I begin laying down my argument according to the subject title above. That the U.S. Navy has highly secretive classified stationary technology package in unmanned arrays or manned installations in underwater environs. May sound ridiculous to some and to others science fiction on my part. Do note I am not anti- U.S. Military. I have in this blog site over these past 5 years offered military technology as abstract conceptualizations as well.

What I am is pro-sea life that is defenseless against man made military or industrial sonar that is the kind of an acoustic bomb underwater. Be it to detect underwater vehicles or natural resources such as petroleum.

First, back in November 2008 the United States Supreme Court gave the U.S. Navy permission to use sonar technology. To the degree and that they can kill as in collateral damage any marine whales nearby carte blache.

Article link at About.com January 15th 2009:

http://marinelife.about.com/od/conservation/a/sonarCA.htm

I quote:
---------------------------
"In a case of national security once again trumping the environment, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on November 12, 2008 that the U.S. Navy could continue using high-powered sonar as part of its training exercises, possibly at the expense of whales and other marine mammals. This decision was made in a case of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) versus the Navy regarding the Navy's use of sonar in training exercises in southern California. The sonar is used to detect enemy ships, and the Navy argued that the sonar is needed to effectively train and protect the nation."
----------------------------

The "Natural Resources Defense Council" as cited above in the About.com article. Offered its own article back in October 6th 2008 stating the slaughter of marine life, mainly mammals over the decades. With a 5 minute video link narrated by actor "Pierce Bronson" of former "007 James Bond" fame. About the effects of naval sonar technology and that of "air guns" used for petroleum exploration on behalf of the oil industry.

http://www.nrdc.org/wildlife/marine/sonar.asp

I quote:
----------------------------
"This is the reality that whales and other marine mammals face because of human-caused noise in the ocean, whether it's the sound of airguns used in oil exploration or subs and ships emitting sonar. Manmade sound waves can drown out the noises that marine mammals rely on for their very survival, causing serious injury and even death."
----------------------------

Now onto the recent events as of 2011 of mass marine life die-offs around the world. As reported at Aquaviews.net on March 11th 2011. A Scuba divers magazine website.

http://aquaviews.net/ocean-news/bizarre-mass-marine-life-fish-deaths-world/

I quote:
----------------------------
"It doesn’t stop there. The mass deaths include thousands of birds falling from the sky, whales stranded on beaches, dead fish blanketing rivers and the ocean, crabs, penguins and even livestock. There are so many incidents that the mass animal deaths are now even being mapped on Google maps, so you can keep track of what is being called “Aflockalypse”."
----------------------------

So ruling out natural causes of predatory, disease, natural life cycles of marine life. Man made pollution that can trap and suffocate sea life such as plastics. Or man made run off into the ocean from coastal areas which depletes oxygen for marine life. Including any Naval sonar training exercises or military usage by maritime ships. Or that of the petroleum industry be it on vessels or oil rig platforms.

There is this other newer Option or Probability to consider such as stationary underwater Naval technological sonar equipment. Be it in a fixed unmanned array acting as a underwater listening post near coastlines. If not a manned underwater installation of some sort of configuration deploying sonar sweeps. Be it an underwater berthing station for submarines, or some other observation post for whatever aims in an submerged environment.

Since the 1960's scientists have been utilizing Underwater Habitats for research purposes. Even NASA has used such underwater habitats to train astronauts in vacuum sealed hostile environment.

Here is a list of past, present, and future (Atlantica Expedition, launching around July 2012) underwater habitats for both leisure (Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida) or science research.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_habitat

Now if scientists can pull off smaller scale underwater habitats as a proof of concept implementation. Why couldn't the United States Navy with a yearly multi-billion dollar budget pull it off on a more sophisticated scale?

They can and most likely have already, but like all out of sight military technology and/or installations, "they are out of sight and out of mind". I don't blame the military for such a concealment doctrine since it keeps them alive and operating hopefully for our defense.

However the U.S. Navy be it near submerged coastal regions or out in deep sea environs have deployed stationary equipment or installations. That are interrupting the natural life cycles of marine life leading to mysterious mass deaths. At least mysterious to conservationists or environmentalists that have noted none of the usual indicators to cause such a bizarre die off of marine life.

Something else to consider.

Consumer Media Retailer Prediction & Concept: "NetFlix Has New Moves"

Hello All,

Today's business forecast regarding "NetFlix" is more of a given already in terms of a trend. Now that "Blockbuster" has been sold off in a bankruptcy auction to "Dish Network Corp" for a mere $320 million dollars. The days of the video rental bricks and mortar stores are over. Much the same way that "Best Buy" gained market share when its chief rival "Circuit City" collapsed. (Circuit City, is now a shadow of its former self as a E-Retailer online) So "NetFlix" and "Red Box" will now gobble up what "Blockbuster" has surrendered in market share via its consumer base.

I have two probable concepts that "NetFlix" could pursue to gain additional subscribers and thus market share.

First, "NetFlix" to partner via an agreement with any one of the major Hollywood movie studio's. To do a movie theater simultaneous Super Release of a AAA blockbuster movie across America. NetFlix, could agree to stream the super release film for a period of two weeks to its own subscribers. Where during this period "NetFlix" will be offering new and former subscribers sign-up member deals to increase its consumer base. NetFlix, could also offer sweepstakes and contests to its existing members. As an incentive to rent / stream such a AAA blockbuster super release featured film.

Yes, this may very well eat into movie box office revenue. But, it may very well indicate to the movie studios that consumer behavior in viewing such media is shifting. Be it to hand held devices to home entertainment systems that the viewing quality is just as good, if not better in some house holds than within a movie theater. Just as the video rental stores are mostly dinosaurs ala "Blockbuster". So it may be the case with movie theaters in regards as to how consumers wish to view media programming. Nonetheless, the movie studios and "NetFlix" will gain sufficient consumer demographic research if such a deal went through for both parties. NetFlix, for its part can offer such a AAA movie blockbuster super release in the regular 2D and the fancier 3D formats to its subscribers.

After the limited 2 week super release that "NetFlix" can secure from a movie studio. Only available by streaming and not the mail delivery of DVD's or Blu Ray discs. Which will only occur when the regular cycle begins many months later for a DVD / Blu Ray consumer retail release.

Second, "NetFlix" can expand its media programming catalog to include TV & Movies from Latin America. Particularly starting with Mexico, which is the Mecca for Latin American "Soap Opera's" worldwide. TV programming such as this will gain Hispanic eyeballs be it here in the United States. And, eventual market expansions into Central and South America. Ideally if a co-branding could occur with Mexico's "Unvision" TV channel. Which has TV stations across the United States chiefly the States of: Florida, Texas, California, and New York. That would be an additional boon in gaining access to their TV media catalogs of past or present TV programming.

The Hispanic audiences here in the United States will only continue to rise as a consumer demographic. Be it for generations of American Hispanics or others from abroad living here within the United States. Where if "NetFlix" began catering to them as well it will only gain subscribers and perhaps market share within Latin America.

Both of these concepts as noted above are potential directions that "NetFlix" could pursue. In order to expand its membership base of subscribers and to continue growing its market share favorably. Nonetheless "NetFlix" will continue gaining ground now that it has no equals amongst its rivals as it stands currently.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

Here is our next trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements seeing the light of day for the first time. These were written back in March 2009 and are on the topics of: Intuition, Pain, and Souls.

Also, this month I'll share more than a trio of favorite quotes of the month. Since it seems I've collected a bunch for this entry to share with all of you.
The favorite quotes of the month are the ones that speak to me on many levels. Which showcases the works and inherent wisdom from other notable souls, whether from our past or present days.

Enjoy.

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

930) The Holy Spirit speaks to us all with gentle nudges and notions. In a generalized sort of way by the simplest terms possible in creation. Such manners of speaking are not uncommon for the youth and old alike to listen through their own intuition. For as much we seek thorough and detailed responses from our heavenly host. There is always the common denominator that is simplest to understand by sharing with open minds and hearts. For without an open mind and heart there is no intuition whatsoever. There would only be guile and self-deception led by the ego as a reckless behavior. So guard your mind when listening to your intuition. That you are not listening to the false you via your ego or vanity. The distinction is always crystal clear if you know what to look for in communication with your highest self.

When communing with your soul it will always be a gentle nudge or whisper. Not a rash argumentative response that is commonly found in your inner critic. That is the first sign in seeking your authentic intuition. The next step is to to stay calm and not rush through the connection. By establishing an internal rhythm you will follow your own cadence or pace to your highest self. The last step is to be open to all that is holy, sacred, benevolent, and most of all divine to appear. Only by offering the welcome mat to the blessed, will they who are your Angelic guardians come in abundance in your life. Be open to their suggestions, beyond your selfish resistance. Allow your false ego self to melt like an ice cube before the rays of the sun. Where your frozen heart and mind will become fluid like the running waters of eternal life. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


931) For those with a heavy heart release your pain to the "Holy Spirit" within the very fiber of your soul. By doing so invites the grandeur and mystery of God's own compassion into your personal life. It also allows your personal emotional pain to be processed by the "Divine Wind", which will transform your pain into a personal triumph. Surrender your pain to God and surrender the tendency to suffer alone. Give yourself permission to release such burdens onto him who cares for you constantly by a mutual Holy Spirit of Love. Treat not your pain like a monopoly, share it sincerely with those who are your friends in Spirit and body alike. Share it as an instrument to heal your woes by the holiest sacrament know to creation. Which is unconditional love, love yourself without conditions. Not a love that is warped by conditions or limitations or a fanatical love. But one that is gentle with you in moderation, forgiving and light to the touch of the soul. This will allow the truth, your truth to ebb out of you in order to be transformed and liberated from your pain. Into a personal form of spiritual resurrection of the soul. God will ask no less from those who worship him through thanksgiving and faith. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


932) Our souls display numerous qualities that have a brilliance all their own. Many have come to the awareness of the "Halo" effect. When confronting a being of immense prestige and stature. Angels have been described to having wings like a bird. However it is more apt to say the glorious light of their angelic souls. Has a holy light that arches like a rainbow of pristine beauty. These "Arches of Divine Light" is what is mistaken as the wings of an angelic being.

All souls in creation are in the Image and likeness of God(dess) the majestic creator of all. Which the shape are like orbs of a holy sparkling light. The brighter the light in sheer immensity. The more evolved the soul that is in creation by service and absolute love. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much. ---Bessie A. Stanley.

A harmonized mind produces harmony in this world of seeming discord. ---Paramahansa Yogananda.

Grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever. ---Psalm 45:2.

Every exit is an entry somewhere else. ---Tom Stoppard.

Seek freedom and become captive of your desires, seek discipline and find your liberty. ---Frank Herbert.

You cannot give your life more days, but you can give your days more life. ---Unknown.

People over things, essentials over non-essentials. ---Florida House Speaker Dean Cannon. Broadcast on "Florida Face to Face", on the Florida Channel March 24th 2011.

Nuclear Industry Safety Concept: Containment of Fukushima Daiichi Facility

Hello Readers,

Today I wanted to share some trends I foresee besides potentially creative approaches in order to contain the nuclear fallout from the Japanese "Fukushima Daiichi" facility.

(Do note: I am not an engineer nor related to any field of the nuclear power industry. I am a futurist and envisioneer as a hobbyist so my suggestions are only that at best.)

First off, the horror that is unfolding before the world community from the after effects of the Japanese earthquake Tsunami are apparent from mother nature herself. However now we're witnessing the man made disaster as a cascading effect not only for the Japanese, but potentially the radiological fallout world-wide.

Those 330 brave souls as the "Fukushima Daiichi" nuclear facility workers in my opinion have sacrificed their health viability for the long-term. In order to save their countrymen from perils that are even worse if these damage control measures were not instituted by them. If they're health lasts more than a decade without cancers and other forms of radiological poisoning I would be genuinely surprised.

I highly recommend that either TEPCO the utility company responsible for the facility. Or the Japanese government set up a healthcare fund for these 330 plus workers. Because one day Japanese citizens will remember them as their national heroes who sacrificed their lives and future for them. Similar as to how we Americans revere the "911 Victims" as national heroes. These Fukushima Daiichi facility workers will fall under the same historical limelight. As these 330 plus facility workers begin dying. I would hope that the Japanese government set up a fund similar to the 911 American victims fund for their surviving heirs. Be they spouses and especially children to receive akin to a hazard pay life insurance for the sacrifice endured.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility consists of 6 reactor units. Reactors 1 through 4 are the highly unstable ones, where reactors 5 and 6 are mostly stable. The reason why reactors 5 and 6 are mostly stable is because before the earthquake these reactors were brought down for maintenance. Reactor 4 was in the mid way process of being brought offline when the earthquake and subsequent tsunami occurred. Reactors 1 through 3 are the most dicey to date and reactor 2 the most suspect. Each reactor has a trench tunnel system underneath for accessibility and such needs. Reactor 2 trench tunnel system somewhere along the line has developed a crack. Where coolant water is leaking out. The reason why the workers haven't been able to close the leak. Is because these trench tunnels are highly radioactive due to being so close to the reactor units. The workers did try pouring concrete to seal the leak, but it failed. Last I heard is they would try some sort of polymer material as a band aid instead.

As of the last couple of days April 4 & April 5th the facility workers have been dumping several tons of low level radioactive water into the ocean. So as to create capacity in their external storage tanks for the very high level radioactive water instead.

These are my suggestions as follows:

That the U.S. government loan the Japanese government military drones to monitor the direct aerial portion above the Fukushima Daiichi facility. Besides the current usage of satellite Imaging being employed. The American military drones can be outfitted with radiological sensor packages. Including aerial imaging be it night vision, still cameras, or live camera feeds as the drones fly over like high altitude vultures. This will avoid the need to jeopardize human piloted aircraft from radiological exposure above "Fukushima Daiichi".

My next suggestion is we've heard for the last 30 years or so of Japan's technological robotic wonders. My question is why haven't these robotic units that are pertinent to aiding the workers inaccessible area's of the facility been deployed?

I remember a few years back that "Honda" had a bi-pedal human operated robotic unit capable of mimicking human movement. By taking all these capable units by they "Honda" or other developers of robotics and sticking them into the radiological hazardous quarters of the facility. Loaded up with radiological sensors and other tools be they automated or human operated. Will minimize the need of endangering human lives within Fukushima Daiichi problematic areas, such as those trench tunnel lines under each reactor. The robotic engineers and designers can treat the facility as a live experiment hotbed. Much like America treats its military theaters of operations as experiments for technology in development.

This robotic unit suggestion is such a "No Brainer". I hope something like it is already being utilized for the workers.

My last suggestion is the most industrious taking a lot of engineering prowess to pull off. Right outside the "Fukushima Daiichi" facility along the coast their is a Harbor with an inlet with barrier jetty walls. My idea is to seal the opening of this harbor out at sea and divide it into two channel pools. One channel pool is where the facility workers will continue to dump radioactive water by the tons. Where a waiting empty super oil tanker ship will suck it up like a straw. Instead of dumping radioactive contaminated water into the ocean any further by jeopardizing the ocean eco-systems for the decades to come. The stored contaminated radioactive water upon these oil tankers can be taken elsewhere for processing its cargo holds.

The second channel pool from the now sealed off harbor will act as an intake pool of water to be sprayed onto the reactors. Since the facility workers have been spraying seawater and piped (trucked) in freshwater for all of the 6 reactor units. To maintain them cool and hopefully stable from melting down any further. As the intake channel pool reservoir seawater begins to become depleted. Another ship floating outside of the jetty sea barrier walls will siphon fresh seawater and deposit it into this intake pool. A third ship will also be a floating power plant station to the "Fukushima Daiichi" facility. Since the facility is having power generation difficulties because of being completely offline and now fully legally decommissioned.

These 3 ships will act as a stop gap measure until a permanent solution is put into place. Which is shipping in 3 Oil Rig Platforms" to be erected outside the sealed off harbor of the "Fukushima Daiichi" nuclear power plant. Each of these oil rig platforms will be configured to take over the roles of those 3 floating ships. One oil rig platform to become a permanent power generation plant. Another rig platform is be a pumping seawater station into the intake channel pool. This pumping station will also utilize desalination capabilities into the channel pool. Albeit there doesn't need to be 100% desalinated portable drinking water. Perhaps something more like 35% to 75% desalinated water will do instead. The reason why desalinated water will help. Is because when the initial seawater was sprayed into all of the reactors to keep them cool. It was a very desperate act that damaged the nuclear reactors that are only used to freshwater. The third and final oil rig platform will continue to extract the dumped radioactive water from the facility. Into awaiting emptied oil tanker ships for reprocessing at another location.

As the TEPCO utility company is more likely to be nationalized by the Japanese governement. Akin to a bailout and in order to manage this crisis better from their vantage point. Where eventually they may find a new owner and operator for the utility company. The current TEPCO President a "Mr. Masataka Shimizu" shortly after the news was getting bad. Had an incident of high blood pressure and checked himself into a hospital. My take is he did this as a strategic move to avoid the political heat coming down on his neck.

There has been rumors calling for "Mr. Masataka Shimizu" to be charged criminally for manslaughter. Because for the last decade or so the "Fukushima Daiichi" nuclear power facility has been falsifying its safety records to the governmental regulators. I say if the TEPCO is going to be nationalized by the Japanese government. They might as well extend those manslaughter charges beyond the President of TEPCO to include the entire board of directors as well. Since i'm guessing the TEPCO President had the consent of his actions however clandestine from the TEPCO board of directors.

Meanwhile the Japanese government is having their own version of a Meltdown due to political infighting. For the past 6 or so years there have nearly been that same number of revolving Prime Ministers in office. I suspect the current Prime Minister will also be forced out of office in kind. Although the Japanese people need stability right now from their elected and appointed officials now more than ever. Even if its just a symbolic brave face in these hard times facing their very noble nation.

May God keep them safe and filled with a fearless courage. Amen.

Jewels of Truth Series: "God As A Child"

Hello All,

I seldom go out of turn in the number series of sharing my all original "Jewels of Truth" statements, unless of course they are profound keepers. Today's entry falls in line with such an insight at least from my perspective to date.

Enjoy.

"God As A Child"

1127) It has been written in the Biblical New Testament that "Jesus Christ" once stated that to enter the "Kingdom of God" one must be as innocent as a child in spirit. If God is a god of unconditional Love in majesty. Picture a newborn child gazing upon a common item with a sheer amazement as if they have witnessed the true face of God himself. I Imagine this must be how God gazes upon creation and all his children on a macro scale upon eternity. Such an absolute love like a newborn child's gaze is how God adores all of us through his "Holy Spirit". Who is to say that the classic old bearded man in the heavens sitting on a throne upon the sky. Isn't a child as the "God of God's" marveling his works through all of his children?

As we worship God with love and thanksgiving. He may very well be gazing upon us through the sheer Divine innocence of all the embodied children in our universe. How we care for the children, and our neighbor's children no matter the origin of the species. Is our sacred duty and gift back to God as he would care for us. Just like a newborns gaze of sheer amazement out of an absolute Love for us all. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Sports Industry Concept: Security Spectator Sports Net (SSSN)

Hello All,

I rarely offer ideas or proposed concepts for certain industries until they randomly occur to me. This is one of those instances in regards to spectator sports as a whole.

The other day I saw on the news in Argentina a soccer Championship match gone wrong where a riot ensued. A projectile was thrown and it hit the goalie of one team right in the eye. Previously soccer or football games in that region of Argentina I believe were banned. Where 160 of the so-called fans turned rioters clashed with police. One man died from a heart attack.

Here's the link from UK Reuters March 20th 2011:

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/03/20/soccer-latam-argentina-violence-idUKLDE72J0QT20110320

I point this out, what if there was a better way of instead of an extreme measure of banning public spectator sports or other major events from occurring?

Consider my proposed idea of the "Security Spectator Sports Net(Work)" or for short the (SSSN) cast like a net upon a stadium or other public sporting events venue. Such as for sports like the aforementioned soccer (football), hockey, basketball, baseball, American football, musical concert hall, or a convention center. Specific infrastructure where public spectator events are held be it sports, artistic, or other business themed mass gatherings.

In this case however a sporting event will be a main function and example in this blog entry. So going back to that soccer game where all of the above occurred be it public intoxication, vandalism, fighting, and certainly a riot. In case of a riot fans spilling out onto the sports field, into the stadiums parking lot, if not into the surrounding local municipality. I'm not saying with my proposed system that it will be a magic bullet to avoid such hostile encounters. But it will be another system / tool set in an ongoing arsenal for security and local police to utilize.

This is how the system will work having facial and body recognition surveillance cameras situated at the entrance mail gates, food court vendors level, entrance to bathrooms, stadium arena seating sections, lighted sections of the stadium parking lot, staff entrances, staff corridors, and misc. sensitive choke points. Yes, an entire grid of facial / body recognition software enabled surveillance cameras. When I say "Body" as well as facial recognition, I mean to scan for additional visual metrics besides the face. Such as gender, body type, height, visible tattoos (especially street gang tattoos), body mass (weight), etc...

The facial and body recognition software linked to local police or federal law enforcement criminal database's. Will only Record Hits and not keep records of the common citizen or tourist visiting and enjoying their peace loving day. When a hit is verified or listed internally as suspicious it will be categorized as a criminal with an outstanding warrant, a wanted suspect, or most wanted criminal at large.

Where the alerted array of security cameras will follow the suspiciously scanned person. Until they are standing still or has sat down amongst the spectators. A security detail of 2 guards or a guard and a police officer is dispatched with either a portable finger scanner, or if available a portable eye retina scanner. If no such portable identity scanners are available the suspect is politely escorted to a security station to be scanned and verified. If the scan turns out to be a false alert than a sincere apology is rendered and for the spectators kind understanding. A future free game ticket, food court voucher, merchandise gift card, is offered to them for their mistake. But, if indeed the suspect is a wanted criminal of any of the above listed criteria. That person is arrested by local police or detained by security guards for police processing.

This will weed out unwanted criminal elements in order to maintain public safety at spectator sports events. However this is only one function of the "Security Spectator Sports Net" (SSSN). If any unruly spectators convert to hostile hooligans be it the criteria listed above of drunkenness, vandalism, fighting, and up to rioting. Those facial and body recognition cameras will earn their weight in Gold. Where they will pinpoint all hostile individuals as high priority targets to be scanned as a criminal act in progress. Where over the loud speakers if a riot were occurring for example akin to an Orwellian 1984 novel. Will state: Any visitors committing a public disturbance and/or vandalism your identities have been scanned and recorded. Crowd control procedures are now in effect whereby you will be arrested on premises by police if not captured by police elsewhere."

This is to serve as a verbal deterrent where any security camera's in the stadium are to be out of reach from any visitors. The security camera's will all have zooming and panning right/left up/down capabilities. Such scans are in real time relayed to the police or federal law enforcement databases. Be they at a local police station or onsite in a secure portion of the sports complex. Persons trying to avoid the security camera's as visitors at the entrance main gates. Will have to remove any hats, sunglasses, hooded covers from a sweatshirt, etc... There will of course be proper signage listing such a security measure for admittance. Similar as to how amusement parks have security personnel inspect tote/hand bags before entering.

Aside from the "Security Spectator Sports Net or (SSSN)" system I would like to propose a means for hooligan offenders to be given either a temporary or permanent lifetime ban. To any future sporting or mass social events in order to promote civic responsibility and safety. For example a prior hooligan offender at a past sporting event that has been caught for: drunkenness, fighting, vandalism, rioting, etc... Is given a temporary or permanent ban from attending another sporting event. If they are caught on the premises of another sports venue they shall be rearrested as a repeat offender. (much like a sexual predator watch list)

In order to be stricken from the hooligan watch list they can allow their allotted temporary ban to have elapsed. Or volunteer to attend an anger management workshop, or a alcohol or drug offenders anonymous meetings, included a set amount of hours of community service in terms of the severity of their offense. If those requirements are met by the former listed hooligan just like driver license points from your record. Their status as a hooligan offender will be lifted from the temporary ban watch list for attending sporting or other mass social events. (IE concerts etc...)

If on the other hand they allow their temporary ban to have elapsed. They must enroll voluntarily by phone or in person to be placed on an ex-offender watch list. Where they must verify their status as off the offender temporary ban list. In order to be placed onto an ex-offender watch list for the next full year or 12 months. If they do not re-offend they shall return to being an ordinary person attending any other similar spectator public events. If they re-offend be it on the temporary ban list or the ex-offender watch list by a system of 3 Strikes. (Baseball pun intended) They shall be placed on a lifetime permanent ban list be it regionally, nationally, or internationally.

The temporary ban list and the subsequent ex-offender watch list shall over time weed out hooligans. Thus reducing public fights and potentially riots from occurring in the first place. If street gang member affiliations are listed as offenders their temporary ban can be doubled or tripled in order to send a clear message. That street gang members are not welcomed to attend public spectator events.

Another couple of items before I close this entry. Back on 2001 Superbowl in Tampa Florida at the Tampa Buccaneers football game a security technology firm deployed 22 security facial recognition camera's at "Raymond James Stadium".

I hope this proposed security concept can be a technological and civil safety aid to any mass public gatherings in a self-contained environment. Be it a a sports complex, a musical performing arts hall, or a civic convention center.

Health Care Trend / Prediction: Medical Care Access Segregation In America

Hello All,

Today's entry isn't on a proposed concept as I usually do each month. It is based on a forthcoming trend or prediction I can foresee America entering within the next 5 to 10 years time. (conservative estimate) Which is what many termed on the political Right as "Obama Care" as a partisan argument. That eventually became "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (PPACA) passed by a very divided Federal 111th United States Congress. That now the 112th United States Congress at least in the Senate is trying to dismantle it piece by piece.

Although this health care prediction entry isn't a rant to lament the shenanigans of our elected Federal politicians. It is to note the looming economic bubble to burst that being the Health Care industry in America. The Federal Health Care Act aka "Obama Care" will be too little or too late to avert our proverbial of driving off a cliff nationally. While the partisans in Washington are gutting "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (PPACA) in the coming years. They'll look quite foolish when our next economic bubble to burst in our collective faces is due to health care costs.

On this very "Atrayo's Oracle" blog site on July 29th 2009 I stated a similar sensitivity of a health care prediction:

http://atrayosoracle.blogspot.com/2009/07/prediction-health-care-costs-in-america.html

Today I would like to predict upon the highly probable health care industry bubble bursting. That it will place Americans squarely on the path to a form of "Medical Care Access Segregation". If and when this next economic bubble isn't averted from popping as an intended temporary form of Triage Care. The medical establishment will have to have a form of medical care access segregation. In order to prioritize the health care needs of Americans.

I warn you all that this temporary form of Triage health care access will Morph into a permanent system in America. Not unlike the "Jim Crow" years of racial profiling and segregation during the 20th century in America. The reasons why such a health care industry bursting economically as a bubble are numerous. I'll state the most obvious ones: out of control health care costs, medical malpractice costs, needless medical procedures ordered by physicians in order to avoid malpractice lawsuits, medical fraud and abuse, lack of properly trained clinicians in general medicine, and finally 13%-16% of our national GDP (Gross Domestic Product) spent yearly on heath care.

Americans collectively are paying more for health care and receiving less care in return. Now what will this "Medical Segregation" look like within America? For instance those that can still afford premium medical insurance will receive the finest world class medical care. Those on Federal or State entitlement health care programs of: Medicare, Medicaid, Florida KidCare (Floridian program for children access to health care for struggling families, as one of many State examples) will receive sub-standard medical care or be treated like steerage 2nd class citizens. Today medical and medicaid patients find it difficult to locate physicians that will accept such entitlement programs. Due to bureaucracy (red tape) and what the State is willing to pay for medical services. Those on the unfortunate bottom rung without any sort of medical insurance will be the new lepers in America. Receiving 3rd world health care inequality and nightmarish results. If the entitlement programs thought they have it bad treated and herded about like human cattle. Wait till you see how those without a dime to access any sort of medical coverage will be treated.

Note I'm not the type of person to be an Alarmist. Actually I'm quite the practical optimist looking always for an inclusive "Win / Win" scenario. But with my foresight ability I hope to God I'm completely wrong about this looming trend / prediction for America.

However I see this Iceberg with no name coming and we're on the "Titanic" all over again.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

I suspect many of you are pinning away hoping for the end to this Winter season and yearning for the Spring to arrive. Well I'm in the same disposition since my favorite season of the year is that of Summer.

This month's trio of "Jewels of Truth" statements are on the topics of: Goodness, Activity, and the Soul itself. May you enjoy these spiritual wisdom all original statements penned back in February 2009.

Thank you for visiting "Atrayo's Oracle" blog site.

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

927) Those who say; "All good things must come to an end." Must also realize that all good things will renew themselves in a myriad of fascinating avenues. Yes, good things come and go in our lives. But they come constantly no matter the scale of the goodness from the tiniest form of kindness to the epic miracles that happen every day. If we just become self-aware of the gentle and often sublime presence of benevolence in our midst. We shall know that God's Angels whether as people or in Spirit surround us always. Letting go of how this good should manifest in any fundamental manner allows your focus to be open completely. Being in such a sacred truth provides your life to be uplifted by a child like curiosity. That allows wonder to not only exist, but to thrive!

Be still in such an awareness and follow its synchronicities in your daily life. Gratitude is but one of the many doorways for good to appear. Just be still, and it will become a reality in your life always by grace. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


928) Whatever one does with a heartful purpose it will be treated in Heaven and on Earth as holy in the eyes of God. Such a heart moving purpose includes joy, passion, and love all showcased by your duties. Where such attributes that exist in the activity itself also simultaneously shine brightest within God whom is always in your midst. Since these very qualities are amongst the forces God employs to convey his "Holy Will" in creation. Forget not these precepts of service in what functions you hold as a sacred activity. And you to will be truly blessed by duty and providence. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


929) Our souls are like prisms of a living dynamic ethereal light. A Holy and Divine Light that shines brilliantly like a multifaceted diamond. Flawless in nature and yet one of the strongest elements known in creation itself. Our souls are beacons shining brightly enough to be seen like a glittering light off in the distance. The Holy Light that our souls reflect is none other than the "Spirit of God" our creator. We are mirror Images in spirit of our majestic maker. His light is the substance our souls need to thrive and flourish in our Lord's reality. Be still and know we are the living embodiment of God as infinite souls strewn across the heavens and on this Earth of ours. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
