I’m following Steorn from very beginning so much time has passed still not a single authentic news from Steorn side. I’m very hopeful that these guys will be successful but as times passes my hopes are converting into doubts.
which gave me some relief that these guys hasn’t shut down their shop and ran away.
“I know this doesn’t add anything to the debate about Orbo but two weeks ago I was in Dublin & decided to go see where the Steorn offices were. With the address from their website in hand and my Sat Nav programmed I headed off for the Docklands. After arriving in the general area it took me over 15 mins to find the industrial estate!(I was beginning to think it didn’t exist) But my trip wasn’t in vain as I found their building & yes the lights were indeed still on!! There were no guards protecting the door or obvious high tech security systems… but they do have one camera! I didn’t see any jurors coming in or out but maybe they were on lunch!!
Unfortunately due to the fact that I need to grow a pair & the fact that my family were in the car with me I didn’t actually step through the door. The best I could do was take a picture through the window!! (not a great one I must say!!)
If I’d planned a bit better I could have contacted someone there in advance to see if I could have a tour & see the devices in operation (or a bunch of parts on a table formally known as Orbo!)
The Great Pyramid can potentially be any human being’s grave or memorial site. As monumental as it is affordable, it serves those of all nationalities and religions. Individuals who are either unwilling or unable to have their ashes buried there can also opt to have a memorial stone placed instead. Stones can be custom designed with any number of colors, images, or relief decorations. The Great Pyramid will continue to grow with every stone placed, eventually forming the largest structure in the history of man.
The Egyptian pyramids were built for eternity but only for one single person. This pyramid is open to every individual. Rather than hastily burying one another or allowing our ashes to be scattered, as a small stone in the pyramid we can remain part of our species’ constantly shifting and ever-expanding tableau.
Traditional English is set to fragment into a multitude of dialects as it spreads around the world, a language expert claims.
People will effectively have to learn two varieties of the language – one spoken in their home country, and a new kind of Standard English which can be internationally understood.
Traditional English could one day become a family of languages, just as Latin once did.
The English spoken in countries with rapidly-booming economies, such as India and China, will increasingly influence this global standard.
In future, users of global Standard English might replace the British English: “I think it’s going to rain”, with the Indian English: “I am thinking it’s going to rain”.
People tend to use the present continuous where British English use the present simple. For example, where British English speaker would say: “I think, I feel, I see” a speaker of Indian English might say: “I am thinking, I am feeling, I am seeing”. This way of speaking could easily become sexy and part of global Standard English.
This could spell the end of the dominance of American English as the prevailing language of international affairs.
In language, numbers count. There are more people speaking English in India than in the rest of the native English-speaking world.
Even now, if you ring a call centre, often it’s an Indian voice you hear at the end of the phone. As the Indian economy grows, so might the influence of Indian English.
1st i thought these guys will never come up with sequel coz it’s been so long and i guess 1st part wasn’t that hit. but X-Files is my all time favorite and i’m very excited about it.
July 25, 2008, Mark it on your calendar, because that’s the release date for the new X-Files movie. Apparently, at the recent WonderCon, people who sat in on a Q&A session with X-Files stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny were treated to a short teaser trailer for the movie, which ended with a release date. So of course, that trailer has now made its way onto the internet in shaky, handicam form. I have no idea what the film is about, but I already know I’ll be there on opening day. Really, I’ll take any new X-Files I can get my grubby paws on. Source>>
