I was just reading up on RTC's (stands for Regional Training Centers) in regards to microchip implantation.
Here is what is scary (besides Big Brother is watching/tracking you!) On one website in their own material re: training it states...
From the FAQ:
"What is a Regional Training Center (RTC)? To meet customers’ demands for more training more often, ********* has established a worldwide network of Regional Training Centers or RTCs. Each of these engineering labs is designed to provide hands-on workshops and seminars on a year-round basis. Courses are developed to help the embedded CONTROL engineer learn how to design with ********* development tools and silicon products. "
From the Homepage:
"Regional Training Centers are high tech engineering labs conveniently located worldwide and equipped with the most current embedded CONTROL tools, techniques and instructors. The RTCs conduct hands-on beginner, intermediate and advanced classes on *********'s product lines to help you speed up your development time and lower your total system cost.
The RTCs offer a variety of highly targeted design topics that can help you add functionality to your current applications and take full advantage of new or unfamiliar device peripherals. These classes can help you keep current in the competitive world of embedded CONTROL and stay ahead of industry trends and design techniques. The class sizes allow plenty of time for one-on-one interaction with the expert instructors."
The locations for training cover North America (including Canada, folks), Europe, Asia Pacific, Mexico...
Does anyone else find this the least little bit bizarre?
On one technology news website one of the headlines states "Alzheimer's patients to get ID microchips". This was dated today, August 29, 2007.
...and so it begins! (Conspiracy theory strikes again!)
I was just talking to a friend of mine in Greece. The forest fires there right now plus the scorching heat (46C) are making them feel like they are experiencing their own "Sept. 11".
The government has now declared a state of emergency & your typical grandparently types - 1 65-year-old & 1 77-year-old have been charged with starting 2 fires.
Some of the fires are believed to be the work of arsonists. They have discovered at least one cell phone attached to an incindiary device.
There is some talk about fall elections going on hold for now while they battle this element.
One island re: tourist destination is 20% burned.
One of the worst fires is near Olympia, historic birthplace of the Olympic games.
People are begging for outside intervention as many have perished in the fires. They haven't enough firefighters to deal with it.
My heart is breaking for that country right now. It is just so weird.
I really enjoy a good debate. Many forum users have valid points to make & give their opinion openly.
What I don't like happens not so much on our forum but on the international one. I wish it wasn't so but is in some cases.
There is a tendency to mass attack a person for a dissenting view or a new way to look at things. Many terms used, unfamiliar to most of us, are thrown at a new person who innocently makes a mistake. Instead of gentle correction, there is overreaction, "search & destroy", or if that fails snubbing & ignoring, then comes talking about them on a new thread...as if the person did not exist.
Thank goodness for the Canadian forum, where users can speak freely and directly to one another.

Oops! I was just revisiting an old tune I know.
Actually I like honey wheat ale (Great Western) aka MEAD.
