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.
So for consumers that are on the go, your "Universal Reward Credit Card" can keep pace with you. For those customers that use their bank offered credit card frequently the member annual fee pays for itself. From all the accrued reward member programs associated with such a singular credit card.

Social Justice Concept: An American "Truth & Reconciliation Commission" Is Needed
Hello All,
After viewing a PBS episode of "Bill Moyers Journal" this week where Desmond Tutu of South Africa was mentioned and discussed.
I got to thinking that America unlike South Africa in 1994 with the ending of Apartheid had no "Truth & Reconciliation Commission". In regards to the near genocide committed to Native Americans and especially to the imported slaves and than later Jim Crow treatment of African-Americans.
It took the U.S. nearly 50 years to address the Japanese internment camps during WWII during the Reagan Administration. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Abolisher's before him began the century long societal discussion of the treatment of African-Americans. However these discussions with our American society is still ongoing as a social democratic experiment.
I'm not talking about reparations to Native Americans or Afro-Americans. What I am discussing is something very similar to the "Truth & Reconciliation Commission" that helped heal the nation of South Africa in 1994 in regards to "Apartheid".
The United States of America has had nothing close to this, lest the work begun or continued by Martin Luther King Jr. with his "Beloved Community" philosophy.
The inequalities with Native Americans continues to this day and if not for grass roots social organizations would be very much forgotten. Casinos on Native American reservations isn't the ultimate solution for these indigenous people of our America.
On the other societal discussion is that Afro-Americans make up nearly 2/3's of our national prison inmate populations. Often stricken by poverty and lack of opportunity we as a consumer capitalistic society would rather discard people than invest in them it seems. This is just a continued tapestry of hardship facing Afro-Americans in our nation that continues to this day and age.
If we as Americans in our civil society do not demand a change not just from our government, but from each other. Our civil society will sooner than later implode onto itself. It may not be a catastrophic implosion but a social paralysis of will power and vision will lead us further away from a Republic Democracy. It will turn us into something that may take more than a generation to extricate ourselves from in the future.
After viewing a PBS episode of "Bill Moyers Journal" this week where Desmond Tutu of South Africa was mentioned and discussed.
I got to thinking that America unlike South Africa in 1994 with the ending of Apartheid had no "Truth & Reconciliation Commission". In regards to the near genocide committed to Native Americans and especially to the imported slaves and than later Jim Crow treatment of African-Americans.
It took the U.S. nearly 50 years to address the Japanese internment camps during WWII during the Reagan Administration. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Abolisher's before him began the century long societal discussion of the treatment of African-Americans. However these discussions with our American society is still ongoing as a social democratic experiment.

Game Concept: Enhancments To Avoid Sorry & Lose A Turn Results
Hello All,
How many of you have played online those free Java based games that offer real cash and prizes? Be they from an "Instant Win" sweepstakes promotion or online sites like: Pogo.com, iWon.com, or elsewhere.
Well my game concept enhancement is to completely get rid of those: Sorry, Lose A Turn, or Try Again game play results. Where a great marketing slogan can be:
"Making Every Spin A Winner!"
Besides the very typical virtual reward payouts of tokens or free spins to such Java based games. To offer additional variants to those two cited above to enhance game play. And thus completely avoiding the annoying use of those: Sorry, Lose A Turn, Try Again game play responses.
Here are five examples to get one started:
1) Automatic Spins: Where instead of the free spins where one manually has to use a free spin with a left mouse click. The "automatic spin" variant will do the free spins on behalf of the player, completely hands free.
2) Multiplier Payouts: Where instead of receiving X,Y,Z amount of free tokens during a spin. A multiplier amount by a certain number of free tokens is rewarded, much like on a slot machine. IE 3x 500 Tokens is paid out when one lands on such a spot.
3) Free Entry Tickets: Meaning free prize raffle tickets without fussing with any token payout conversions. Where most game sites offer a token reward that can be converted to a number of prize entry tickets.
4) Cash Jackpot Spin: Most of these game sites offer some sort of cash jackpot that continues to grow via a ticker depicting the growing cash value. For such a spin game model there can be a tie-in cash jackpot free spin offered. That will accrue on the side until one plays that cash jackpot game later on.
5) Free Scratches: Many of these free or paid membership game sites offer a scratch game that offers cash or real prizes of various sorts. So when one plays a spin game model "Free Scratches" can be rewarded much like the "Cash Jackpot Spin" variant choice.
These alternative virtual variant game play choices will enhance the spin game models. Where the default: Sorry, Lose A Turn, Try Again choices can become increasingly invalid offerings during game play.
Truly, "Making Every Spin A Winner!"

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day
Hello All,
Here is another three of my original spiritual wisdom based quotations / proverbs for your pleasure.
Enjoy them as I have in writing and sharing them with all of you, thank you.
----------------------------
807) Silence speaks the loudest with its anchored conviction of its sheer majesty, by nature itself. God's silence dwarfs us all by his/her sheer presence of testament of glories. God's palette of creations continues to leave me dumbfounded and awestruck in its magnitude and variety of orders of life. We are so blessed, yet so conflicted by the incomprehension of it all. Such grandeur of mere presence leaves me feeling guilty and unworthy to gaze upon such sublime existence. Yet, I am a part of this orchestra of creation that has become manifested as a form of life itself. So than by at least default I am worthy to be here to experience life and its often mundane splendor. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
808) Life is a rainbow of inclusive colors of the living. Not the binary thought system of the atypical black, gray, and white. When humanity evolves as a species beyond binary thinking. It will have healed itself of poverty & injustice. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
809) Beauty is the tranquilizer of the soul. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
-------------------------
To bring the sublime into the mundane is the greatest challenge there is. ---Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan. Alchemical Wisdom.
To take time to think is to gain time to live. ---Nancy Kline. Writer.
Salvation is not putting a man into heaven, but putting Heaven into man. ---Maltbie D. Babcock.
As long as one keeps searching, the answers come. ---Joan Baez. Folk Singer.
Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. ---Rabindranath Tagore.
