The initial response to HSS has been over­ whelmingly positive! HSS is a truly national software system with installations in all 50 states' chapters of the Special Olympics . The Special Olympics had one of the "big eight " accounting firms review HSS, along with 22 other software systems, and HSS was their first choice! All modules are integrated with the General Ledger Module, but each can be operated on a stand alone basis.

  • National Numbering Plan – a Revised Approach Suggested by TRAI for Achieving Greater Transparency and Efficiency
    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) National Numbering Plan – a revised approach suggested by TRAI for achieving greater transparency and efficiency March 2009 Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg New Delhi-110002 Web: www.trai.gov.in Preface Telecommunications sector in the country is undergoing a transformation brought about by rapid growth and technological developments. New paradigms are emerging as telecommunications, IT and broadcasting industries converge. Being conscious of the fact that some of these developments would have a profound impact on the National Numbering Plan, the Authority constituted an internal Research Team to suggest a revised approach to the numbering plan for achieving greater transparency and efficiency. The following issues have been analyzed in the Research Paper in detail: 1. Measures that can be taken for optimal utilization of numbers, short codes and IN SCP Codes 2. Pricing of numbers 3. Long term suitability of numbering plan keeping in view the growth of traditional and development of IP networks 4. Impact of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and Carrier Selection on the numbering plan 5. Review of SDCA based Numbering Scheme The research paper has been placed on the TRAI's website (www.trai.gov.in). Written comments on the issues raised in the paper may please be furnished th to Principal Advisor (FN), TRAI by 20 March, 2009. The comments may be sent in writing and also preferably be sent in electronic form e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], Tel.: 011-23216930, Fax:

The article is devoted to the development of a digital image compres- sion algorithm. Image compression is a type of data compression applied to dig- ital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data. We will consider a lossy compression algorithm. The new algorithm is based on multiscale decomposition with a spline as a basis function. In the process of multiscale analysis, when constructing a spline, we should take into account analytical links. The application of this approach give an increase in the com- pression ratio with the same quality of compressed images. Keywords: Digital Image Compression, Analytical Links, Hermitian Spline, Multiscale Analysis. 1 Introduction Multimedia standards for video compression for personalized television, high defini- tion digital television (HDTV), and image / video database maintenance use close motion and encoding methods. Three basic standards - MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 were developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), under the auspices of the ISO and the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (was renamed the International Telegraph Union (ITU).

  • The Telephone and Its Uses in 1980S U.S. Activism Today We Are Awash in Claims About the Transfor- Mative Effects of the Digital Revolution
    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, XLVIII:4 (Spring, 2018), 485–509. Barbara Keys The Telephone and Its Uses in 1980s U.S. Activism Today we are awash in claims about the transfor- mative effects of the digital revolution. Technology, we are told, is reshaping how we work, play, and live—even how our brains are wired. Smartphones and the internet have revolutionized society, commerce, and politics and even revolutionized revolutions, or so enthusiasts and detractors proclaim with equal conviction. Enthu- siasts argue that modern technologies enhance freedom and de- mocratize the flow of information, empowering movements such as Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring. Detractors coun- ter that social media and the internet foster “slactivism”—low-risk, low-effort commitments that achieve little other than to make users feel better.1 These claims rest on a weak understanding of communica- tions technologies in the pre-digital age. Before Facebook, the in- ternet, and mobile phones, political activists in many places during the second half of the twentieth century spread their message, re- cruited adherents, raised funds, and elicited action by using “tradi- tional” technologies, notably print and landline telephony. In Barbara Keys is Associate Professor of History, University of Melbourne. She is the author of Reclaiming American Virtue: The Human Rights Revolution of the 1970s (Cambridge, Mass., 2014). The research for this article was funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant. The author thanks Frank Costigliola, Jack Davies, Petra Goedde, Van Gosse, Patrick Kelly, Brad Simpson, and Keir Wotherspoon for useful suggestions. © 2018 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Inc., doi:10.1162/JINH_a_01196 1 Some observers claim that using the internet fosters social relationships; others find that fre- quent internet use correlates with spending less time with friends and families and that novice users can experience adverse psychological effects.
