...It is a visible light communication system that uses light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a medium to deliver networked, (instead of radio frequency waves) that is part of the Optical Wireless Communications technologies, which carries much more information, and has been proposed as a solution to the RF-bandwidth limitations. Also deliver mobile, high-speed communication in a similar manner as Wi-Fi and is bidirectional. The Professor Harald Haas of the University of Edinburg and his team have made another breakthrough in Li-Fi by demonstrating that up to 1.1 Gbps can now be transmitted using light waves from micro LEDs over a distance of 10m using less than 0.5W power. This proves the point that lights can be dimmed down while high data rates and coverage are maintained. About the Li-Fi industry there’s a company the name PureLiFi in which the Prof. Hass is a co-founder, already start to sell a product the name Li-1st which is the world’s first commercially available high-speed, bidirectional optical wireless system that can operate with a range of commercially available LED luminaries. It provides an IP-enabled ceiling unit and a desktop device that can be connected via USB to client devices. This industry is expected to grow up to $6 billion by 2018. This could be the future of the internet and the networks systems including the wireless connections, we just need to wait a couple months or years to see what is going to be in the future and how far we’ll get. ...

...Reflection Paper- Yoga Soccer is one of my greatest passions. I play in three outside of school leagues. I play one game on Monday and two on Fridays. My sophomore year in high school I decided to try out for the soccer team and it change my future plans completely. After playing soccer for Edinburg North High school, I understood that I wanted to become a soccer coach. Currently, in college I started my Kinesiology curriculum and I have learned many things about the benefits of being physically fit. Aside from soccer, I enjoy getting involved in many other fitness activities. Some of the activities I like to be involved in are rock climbing, flag football, and running. This semester I decided to take the yoga class as an elective. I really liked that we got to learn many yoga poses that were easy to learn step by step, and that we can practice at home. Something I really is that we also learned many pilates poses. I can’t think of anything that I disliked this class was motivating to me in many ways. I loved the extra credit that was offered, and it makes us, the students, want to keep on doing this activities. I had never tried to do yoga before, but I had heard that it was very helpful for your body, mind, and soul. I didn’t engaged in yoga because ignorantly I felt it was not going to benefit me at all. After being in yoga class with professor Rocha, I understood that it was actually a though workout. Yoga can make you become stronger, flexible, toned, and helps a...

...I am currently a junior in the University Of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg, Texas. I have attended a small little school in Snyder, Texas called the Western Texas College before coming here, and I have received my associates in Applied Science and Petroleum Technology. I am taking English 1301 for the third time this Summer II course, since English has never been my strongest subject besides the fact that I know it is important to know. At first, I was a bit skeptical about taking English 1301 this summer in an unknown university, but upon entering Ms. Sanchez’s English 1301 class, it opened my eyes. I had a whole new perspective in not only reading, but also on everyday life situations. The first two times I took English 1301, I was not fully understanding the concept of the text I was reading. When walking into class on the first day of school this summer,...

...ONE STAIR UP The text under analysis is an extract from the novel “One stair up” by the Scottish novelist С. Nairne. Campbell Nairne who was born in Edinburg and became popular due to her two books “One stair up” and “Stony Ground”. The given extract is a description of the attendance of the cinema by two youngsters Rosa and Andrew. They are representatives of the working class? And they have different aims of visiting cinema that was the reason of developing of the conflict between them. The theme of this extract is the problem of misunderstanding between Rosa and Andrew. The main idea is a different attitude to things, different word vision and different motivation. The book belongs to the belles-letters style, the story is told by the 3rd person narration, but also we can find the 1st person narration (the text is partially narrative). The language of the extract is rather simple, the author used a lot of compound sentences and a lot of colloquial words that help the reader to feel the atmosphere in the cinema and the thoughts and inner condition of the main heroes. The whole story can be divided into 4 logical parts: 1st coming to the cinema, 2nd Rosa and Andrew begin to watch the comedy, 3rd the comedy itself, 4th Rosa’s and Andrew’s dialog. The plot structure of the extract is closed, because there are all elements. The exposition when the heroes come to the cinema, and their first impression from the atmosphere of the luxury. The story itself...

...One billion transistors, One Uniprocessor, One Chip Alma C. Ryan GS1145 ITT Technical Institute One billion transistors, One Uniprocessor, One Chip I read an article from University of Michigan 1997 about one billion transistors, one processor, one chip. It has 5 authors- Patt Y., Patel S., Evers M., Friendly D., and Stark J.. At beginning the authors, lead me to believe they were hesitant of the existent of the one billion transistors, one uniprocessor in one chip. They have comments such as, "A billion transistors on single chips presents opportunities for new levels of computing capability". The other comment was, "The basis design problem is partitioning". However, later on, after giving their suggestions, the authors seemed to agree on the released of the said chip. This article was written in 1997. Few years before the said chip was put in the market. This article discussed both pros and cons of the upcoming one chip. One of the pros was , "the uniprocessor will be high performance". Another pros was, "that this chip will have large trace cache, and large number of reservation stations". Additionally" this chip will also have a sufficient resolution and forwarding logic" another pros that the authors mentioned. But the authors mentioned more cons than pros. Some of the cons discussed were: "one billion transistors falls far short of an infinite number, the highest performance computing system will not...

...Lawrenceburg Firehouse The Lawrenceburg Firehouse was established in 1882 by A.D. Cook. In 1882 a committee was appointed by the council to purchase two steam fire engines manufactured by the Ahrens Company of Cincinnati. The cost of the engines complete with reel cart and 2,000 feet of hose was estimated to cost $10,800. The name of these engines were Miami and Edinburg. (Genealogy #1) They tested the Miami in the presence of a large crowd of citizens. After about 3 and a half minutes that the match was applied to the engine it was throwing water as high as any house that was built in the city at the time. Fire laddies were the ones who handled the hose for this demonstration. The first fire station named “Miami” was located on Short St....

...Pricing Strategy: Ecaterina Curova Jason Geesey LCC International University November 13th, 2013 Pricing Strategy: Pricing is the moment of truth; it is when all of the company’s marketing and financing strategies really meet the final decision point with its customers (Kotler & Armstrong, 2012, p.314-315). “One of the key aspects of getting the financial control of the business is developing a pricing strategy for its particular market so the product or service can be sold properly” (“Developing a Pricing Strategy for Your Business,” 2010). If a company has a good pricing strategy for the financial basis and a good marketing strategy than it is very easy to sell the product (“Developing a Pricing Strategy for Your Business,” 2010). There are two ways of pricing the product or service in the market: value-based pricing and cost-based pricing. Value-based pricing is looking on how customers value the product and is basing the price on that (Kotler & Armstrong, 2012, p.315). If a medical engineer has a pill that costs him a dollar to make, however, it can cure cancer, customers are going to pay him a lot more money than one dollar for it. Businesses look at what value people put on their product and price it accordingly. On other side there is a cost-based pricing which looks at how much money a company has to spend to make their product and bases its cost on that (Kotler & Armstrong, 2012, p.319). There are a lot of different pricing strategies that are connected...
