The idea of the Mountains of the Moon came into existence as a function of another geographic mystery, the source of the Nile River. Since the dawn of civilization geographers had puzzled over the source of the Nile, but never managed to conclusively solve it. In his The Histories Herodotus, who himself tried to solve the riddle, stated that "With regard to the sources of the Nile, I have found no one among all those with whom I have conversed, whether Egyptians, Libyans, or Greeks, who professed to have any knowledge."
Out of this geographic uncertainty, the Mountains of the Moon emerged as a convincing answer that would appear with varying frequency for the next 18 centuries. The longevity of the Mountains of the Moon are a testament to the influence of the famed geographer Claudius Ptolemy. Ptolemy's magnum opus Geographia is the first to describe the Mountains as the source of the Nile. By most accounts, Ptolemy's information about the mountains came from the tale of a Greek merchant named Diogenes who was a rough contemporary of Ptolemy's. Diogenes claimed that he had ventured inland from the eastern coast of Africa and after a perilous journey of 25 days, came across a jutting range of mountains where water pooled into two large lakes. Out of these lakes drained two mighty rivers, which Diogenes said were the upper reaches of the Nile. Diogenes claimed the Mountains were called the "Mountains of the Moon" by the natives because of how their snowcapped peaks glistened white in the sun. Ptolemy believed Diogenes and included these mountains in his maps, as did many other ancient Greek and Roman geographers. Ptolemy depicted the Mountains of the Moon as a long ridge of mountains from which a series of rivers drained into two lakes, as seen below. This depiction would be reproduced with slight derivations by hundreds of other geographers throughout the following centuries.
Inspired by Ptolemy's account, multiple expeditions were launched to try and find the source of the Nile. Numerous expeditions by the Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Arabs and Romans had all failed to unravel the mystery, their expeditions foiled by disease, swamps, starvation, hostile natives and the unforgiving sun of the Sahara. As a result, Ptolemy's account of the river's origins lay unchallenged, and unconfirmed, for centuries. Even later Arab geographers, who had a better knowledge of Africa, took Ptolemy's map at face value and included the Mountains of the Moon in the same location.
Dr. James Bruce, commonly identified as the first European to track the Blue Nile to its source, identified the Mountains of the Moon as part of the vast highlands of Ethiopia. He surmised that Mount Amedamit, which he claimed was the source of one of the Blue Nile's tributaries, was the inspiration for Diogenes' account. Bruce wrote that Mount Amedamit surrounded the river "in two semi-circles like a new moon ... and seem, by their shape, to deserve the name of mountains of the moon, such as was given by antiquity to mountains in the neighborhood of which the Nile was supposed to rise."
Other explorers and geographers disputed Bruce's claims, and found alternative identifications for the Mountains. In 1846 German missionaries Johan Ludwig Krampf and Johannes Rebmann reported seeing two large snowcapped Mountains in the African interior. This report caused considerable confusion among the geographic circles of Europe. Numerous experts like the British Royal Geographical Society's William Desborough Colley rejected the reports out of hand, declaring that snow could not exist so close to the equator. Others wondered whether these mountains were not isolated peaks, but instead part of the supposedly snowcapped Mountains of the Moon that Diogenes had described. In reality, Krampf and Rebmann where the first Europeans to see the isolated peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, but this would not be proven for several decades.
Years later when British explorers John Hanning Speke and James Grant explored the Great Lakes Region of Africa in the early 1860s, they found no mountains and instead claimed that the Nile arose in the newly discovered Lake Victoria, causing more confusion as to whether the Mountains of the Moon existed and if they played any role in the Nile's origins. Even later, the explorer Henry Morton Stanley would add another layer of confusion on his last African expedition. Stanley, who was heralded for "solving the Nile Question", glimpsed a series of snowcapped peaks in modern Uganda in 1889. These mountains had escaped the view of Europeans in the area for over 40 years because they were almost always covered in a thick layer of mist and cloud. This mountain range, today known as the Rwenzori, were heralded by many geographers as the ultimate source of the Nile and Ptolemy's Mountains of the Moon.
Following the explorations of Speke, Stanley and others, the Mountains of the Moon, at least as Ptolemy depicted them, disappeared from the map. Modern geographers are divided on which Mountains Ptolemy and Diogenes described. Many reject Diogenes' account entirely, while others credit the Rwenzori, or Kilimanjaro or the Highlands of Ethiopia as the inspiration for the legendary range. While the runoff from these mountains are each the source of some of the Nile's water, it is unlikely that any these peaks will be definitively proven as the true Mountains of the Moon, if they ever existed.
Wherever the truth lies, the confusion over these Mountains and the role they played in the source of the Nile river have left us a wonderful set of maps that give us a glimpse not only into the interior of Africa, but also into the time and situation in which they were made. These maps are lovely representations of one of geographies most enduring mysteries.
In 1606, Jodocus Hondius brought out his first edition of Gerard Mercator's Atlas, the plates for which he had purchased in 1604. Besides maps from these plates, Hondius introduced some new maps of his own, adding more each year the atlas was reissued. Amongst the first maps Hondius added were ones of each of the four continents. This is Hondius' version of Africa, issued in the same atlas as Gerard Mercator, Jr.'s map, which was based on the famous 1569 Gerard Mercator map of the world.
Hondius took most of his depiction from the Mercator map, though he made some modifications. He altered the shape of Madagascar, as well as many coastal features of the continent. He added a note about the resources on St. Helena's Island mentioning its use as a place for providing for journeying ships. Hondius changed Mercator's river system a bit, returning more to Ptolemy's depiction for the source of the Nile, which is shown as arising in two large lakes, "Zaire" and "Zaflan." The Senegal and Niger Rivers are depicted as continuous, another long standing conception, with the latter river ending in Central Africa in the "Niger Lacus." Like on Mercator's map, Hondius shows the Congo as joining up to the Nile River system, in this case in Lake Zaire, making it possible to sail from the Atlantic to Cairo through the landmass of Africa.
Hondius removed Mercator's vignette of Prester John, but adds small pictures of an elephant, a monkey, and a camel. Off the coast Hondius added even more decorative features, including several sea monsters, sailing ships, and an unusual native dugout canoe with a square rigged sail. The title cartouche is a wonderful example of seventeenth century style, crowned with a grinning monkey head. The colors of this map, applied at the time of publication, are superb and add immeasurably to its decorative appeal. With so little really known of the 'dark continent' in the seventeenth century, the passing of years did not necessarily mean that new maps were any more accurate than earlier ones. Unquestionably, however, this is one of the most interesting and attractive maps ever produced of Africa. $1,300
John Cary. "A New Map of Africa, from the Latest Surveys." London: J. Cary, 1805. 18 1/2 x 20 7/8. Original outline coloring. Light creasing and light smudges at center. Short tear at lower centerfold. Otherwise, very good condition. Denver.
This map was drawn, engraved and published by John Cary (fl 1769-1836) in London for the 1805 edition of his New Universal Atlas. Amidst the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars, British naval power was rising, and mapmaking as an art and science kept pace. Cary used existing maps and new surveys to provide his clients with the most up-to-date information on all parts of the world. Inaccuracies might be evident, but they reflect the state of knowledge in western Europe when they were made. The northern parts of the continent show much information along the rivers, and trade routes. A non-existent mountain chain stretches across the continent; the eastern half of this range, "Mountains of the Moon," are a remnant of the Ptolemaic conception of Africa; the western half "The Mountains of Kong" were the result of a mistake by cartographer John Rennel in 1798. This map was the first to show the "Mountains of Kong" and the "Mountains of the Moon" as part of the same giant mountain range, a feature which would remain on maps of Africa until the 1850s. The southern half of the continent has information mostly along the coasts where traders and European settlements had been made. The interior of the south is mostly blank, "Unknown Parts," though Lake Maravi, an early reflection of the interior lakes, is shown. Attractive, with interesting information and absence of information, this is an excellent map of Africa from the beginning of the nineteenth century. $550
David H. Burr. "Africa." From A New Universal Atlas (1835). New York: Thomas Illman, 1834. 10 3/8 x 12 1/2. Engraving by Illman & Pilbrow. Full original color. Light smudges in upper right. Else, very good condition. Denver.
An excellent map of Africa by David H. Burr, one of the most important American cartographers of the first part of the nineteenth century. Having studied under Simeon DeWitt, Burr produced the second state atlas issued in the United States, of New York in 1829. He was then appointed to be geographer for the U.S. Post Office and later geographer to the House of Representatives. As a careful geographer, Burr is painstaking in this map to put in only information for which he felt there was a scientific basis. Despite that, this map includes a long chain of the Mountains ofthe Moon across mid-continent. Below this is "Unexplored Region." Elsewhere, rivers, deserts, mountains, towns, and a number of countries are clearly presented. Also shown are the Mountains of Kong. Burr's maps are scarce and quite desirable. $225
Henry S. Tanner. "Africa." From Tanner's Universal Atlas. Philadelphia: Carey & Hart, 1844. 12 x 14. Engraving. Original hand coloring. Very good condition. Denver.
This map was made by the great American cartographer, Henry Schenck Tanner. In 1816, Henry, his brother Benjamin, John Vallance and Francis Kearny formed an engraving firm in Philadelphia. Having had experience at map engraving through his work with John Melish, Tanner conceived of the idea of compiling and publishing an American Atlas, which was begun in 1819 by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co. Soon Tanner took over the project on his own, and thus began his career as cartographic publisher. The American Atlas was a huge success, and this inspired Tanner to produce his Universal Atlas, of more manageable size. The maps were issued by Tanner until 1841, then in 1844 by Carey & Hart. Later the maps were issued by S. Augustus Mitchell, and then Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. into the second half of the century. This map shows the fictional trans-African mountain chain known as the Mountains of the Moon and the Mountains of Kong. An interesting document $225
Giovanni Miani. "Nouvelle Carte du Bassin Du Nil indiquant la commune origine de ce Fleuve avec les Rivieres du Zanguebar." Paris: Societe de Geographie de Paris, 1858. Separately issued, folding map; dissected into 24 sections and mounted on linen. 39 1/2 x 23. Steel engraving by Erhard Schieble. Original hand color. The backs of two sections contain advertisements for "Stanford's Series of New Library Maps." Very good condition. Denver.
A lovely and highly detailed map of the Nile by Giovanni Miani (1810-1872). Miani was an Italian adventurer and explorer obsessed with finding the source(s) of the Nile River, who led a number of expeditions past Khartoum to find the "springs" of the river. On this map he shows limited knowledge of the Blue Nile going into Abyssinia, but what would later be called the White Nile flows from very far south. Beyond his "Frontiere actuelle de l'Egypte" is designated "...Limite de la Race des Elephants" where he organized elephant hunts for ivory to finance his expeditions. Travelling south up the river farther the map designates various tribes, and at the southern border a large mountain range is drawn east to west with a valley within designated "Iles habitués par des Crocodiles et des Hippopotames d'Elephants et de Rhinoceros." In the extreme bottom left is today's Lake Victoria which he calls "Grand Lac d'Uniamesi" or "Lac Zaire (d'apres les Portugais)." At this time explorers continued to keep the ancient "Mountains of the Moon" theories as a possibility. The advertisements on the back shows that such a work was marketed throughout the world, as this example was sold in England. A wealth of information on knowledge of the entire Nile River system at that time. Interestingly, four years prior to the publishing of this map, Ferdinand de Lesseps was granted the Suez Canal concession. In 1858 the Suez Canal Company raised 200,000,000 francs, so work was begun. The modernization of Egypt commenced in earnest. This 1858 printing is the earliest one recorded. See: Tooley's Dictionary (p 248) and the British Museum Catalog both record imprints of 1862 and 1864. A scarce and early map. $750

Remote control wristwatch: Nice idea, probably doesn't work
Losing the remote control is a lot harder if it's strapped to your wrist. That's the idea behind the "Touch Screen TV/DVD Remote Controller Wristwatch," which is, as you might imagine, a watch that can control your TV and DVD player via an infrared signal. Its face is on the small side, so using a pen as a stylus (as in the pic) is probably the way to go.
What's the catch? Well, at $6.24, we have our doubts as to whether this thing is worth the plastic it's made from. If it works as advertised, wouldn't it be more expensive and more widely accessible? Maybe it's just the paranoia speaking, but for now chronic remote-control losers (that is, people who lose remote controls — not losers that you can move from a distance) may want to stick to using a really large remote, or this new hand remote system.

ATLANTA TheStreet) -- A merger pushed the price of AirTran (AAI) shares up 61% on Monday, but most airline investors are not so lucky.
They can only hope for the best in an industry that has lost money since the Wright Brothers first flew an airplane. Some think the historic pattern may be broken, given capacity reductions over the past few years and, so far, an unprecedented level of discipline in maintaining them.
The situation has led veteran Avondale Partners analyst Bob McAdoo to issue market outperform ratings on every network airline.
But some other evaluations are more discreet. Here is a look at analyst views on the four biggest airlines that will remain following pending mergers that would unite United (UAUA) with Continental (CAL) and Southwest (LUV) with AirTran.

We have
15 new
Hey Henrys
this week!
Submit your
"Hey Henry"
By Monroe Roark
Times Correspondent
More than 400 Henry County
public school students have not had a single snow day this year.
They are the ones in the school
system's Impact Academy, a virtual school for grades 6-12. There are
several such schools operating statewide, but Impact Academy is the
largest in Georgia operated by a specific school district.
About 100 students in grades
8-10 were in the program at the end of last year, and that number
tripled by the start of the new school year.
"The word is getting out,"
said Steve Thompson, who runs the program. "It was slow at first,
and that's OK, but not now. We've had a huge jump."
Students at all academic
levels are utilizing Impact Academy, but most of them are either
struggling or accelerated. In either case, they are looking for
something more than they are getting in their traditional
"In trying to figure out why
parents want this program, we think it's because they want something
different. If a student is accelerated the parents may want
something more challenging, or if a student is struggling they may
want something different that will help."
There are also social
considerations with some students, and a few parents don't want
their children having to navigate among 1,000 or more others on a
large school campus. The reasons are as varied as the students
"Every kid has a story, and
we love to listen to them," said Thompson.
Christopher Slaughter is a
junior in his second year at Impact Academy, while also taking
chorus and a GTAE architecture class at Locust Grove High School.
His parents felt the program would work for him because of his
approach to school in general.
"He loves computers and having
the chance to work independently and challenge himself," said his
father, Jim.
After some initial
difficulties adapting to the new style and potential distractions at
home, he is managing his time and his work well, according to his
father, who loves the ability of Impact parents to monitor
everything online from the time a student spends logged on in a
class to future assignments and daily grades.
"There is some accountability
there," said Jim Slaughter. "I don't have to stand over him all the
time. We trust him to know what he needs to do and get it done."
The fact that Christopher is
driving also helps, making it easier for him to work between his
classes at Locust Grove and a dual-enrollment English class with
Clayton State University he takes at the Academy for Advanced
Studies next to Henry County High School.
Ninth-grader Troy Hicks
spends every Tuesday and Thursday at the AAS getting face-to-face
time with teachers that supplements his at-home work. His mother,
Nicole Arroyo, likes the balance that provides in that it also lets
him interact with some classmates without being in a full classroom
all week.
Thompson describes the staff
at Impact Academy as "full-time blended teachers," working two days
a week directly with students and online all the time. Some adjunct
teachers handle electives online, but the core classes are staffed
with full-time teachers dedicated to those subjects and students.
"An online class is not a
teacher-less class," Thompson stressed. "There are teachers behind
every class."
The biggest impact is with
regard to facilities. "We serve about 430 kids with three physical
classrooms," according to Thompson.
After her son's grades began
falling in middle school and she couldn't find satisfactory
solutions, Arroyo made the move to Impact Academy and saw Troy's
performance improved significantly after the initial adjustment.
Anthony Johnson was in his
first month of eighth grade last fall when a cold caused him to miss
an entire week of school because of his asthma. After more than 20
absences last year for that and chronic migraines, Laura Johnson
decided it was time for her son to try Impact Academy, which had
been recommended by one of his sixth-grade teachers who had moved
over to teach in the program full-time.
Now his course load includes
a ninth-grade science and an accelerated math class, two offerings
that would not be possible on a physical middle school campus. He
continues to be involved at Luella Middle School through the band
and school newspaper as well as Beta Club (he is the president).
"He is more active now than
he was before. He is more social now than he has ever been," said
Laura Johnson. "He has a lot on his plate but is managing it very
One feature that sets Impact
Academy apart from other virtual schools in Georgia is that each
student is actually enrolled in the Henry County School System and
can participate in any extracurricular activity offered just as
other students do. They can also take specific academic classes at
their respective schools if need be.
"Students can mix and match,"
said Thompson. "It's a lot like a college. We call it 'a la carte.'"
Anthony does some support
work at AAS on Mondays and Wednesdays, and when his migraines strike
he can do his online work at whatever time of day he feels up to it.
He has missed only one day at Luella this year because of illness.
The teachers make themselves
available more than you would think to help facilitate this," said
Laura Johnson. "They truly go above and beyond what is expected of
The program inspired a
creative streak in Anthony, and now he and two other students
produce a weekly webcast that features tutorials on different
aspects of the online school. He came up with the idea and pitched
it to school system officials, and episodes are archived at
Looking ahead to the fall,
Thompson expects 500-550 in the program for 2014-15. That's almost
the size of an elementary school in Henry County. With that will
come additional staff, as has already been the case over the past
two years, and probably a few tweaks in the program itself.
"We're always changing to
meet the needs of our students," said Thompson.
A few open house type events
are on tap for the spring, catering to all prospective students but
particularly fifth-graders making the move to middle school.

Yes, The Banner Saga still looks amazing. Great, now let's move onto some of the actual strategy mechanics which are explained in the trailer above. The traveling system relies on three resources: morale, supplies, and population, all of which intertwine. Resting your caravan will improve morale (important for battles) but that will in turn eat into your supplies. Once your supplies start going your caravan's population will dwindle.
I had originally thought The Banner Saga was just going to be the turn-based combat we've seen in previous trailers so I'm glad to see there's an extra strategy layer on top of that. Resting your caravan will give you options to re-arrange your party, promote warriors, and assign items. I've been keen on seeing more of the mechanics of The Banner Saga; it's clearly a beautiful-looking game but it's going to need to deliver on the strategy side for it to be really special.

21 Expert Organic Lawn Care Tips
The expert who founded Safelawns.org offers insider's tips for achieving a lush, green lawn without the use of toxic pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
By Paul Tukey / SafeLawns.org
Test Your Soil First, Buy Nutrients Later
Never spend money on any fertilizer or soil amendment for your lawn or garden without first consulting the results of a soil test.
These diagnostic results available from virtually all Cooperative Extension offices across the U.S. will tell you exactly how much N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus) or K (potassium), lime, sulphur or other nutrients to add. Too much nitrogen and phosphorus can harm oceans, lakes, rivers and drinking water. Other excess nutrients can weaken and even kill grass and other plants.
The bottom line, in other words, is to avoid guessing. That can be bad, for the environment, for your landscape and for your pocketbook.
You can buy at-home DIY soil test kits for as little as $0.35 per test at amazon.com or gardeners.com. Or, try this electronic soil tester ($18.95 at burpee.com).

Spring Creek Youth Services Center (SCYSC) is one of four Division of Youth Corrections (DYC) multi-purpose, state owned and operated facilities. SCYSC is an 80-bed facility that provides secure detention and treatment services within the Southern Region of Colorado. The facility serves the 4th, 10th, 11th and 15th Judicial Districts encompassing eleven counties in the southeast quadrant of the state.
Youth are detained at SCYSC for one of two reasons: secure placement pending a court hearing, or to serve a detention sentence of up to 45 days. For youth in detention at SCYSC, a risk and needs assessment is provided to the court to assist in the identification of possible services that would facilitate a successful transition back into the community.
Spring Creek also provides secure residential treatment services for committed youth. The treatment program philosophy is holistic; treating the whole individual while stressing accountability. The treatment program at SCYSC utilizes evidence-based curriculums including Aggressive Replacement Therapy (ART) and Pathways for the substance abuse and sexual offender program. When youth reach the transition phase of treatment -- the phase of reentry into the community -- they are expected to obtain employment or continued educational services in the community. SCYSC is committed to delivering the best treatment available to youth in its care, providing each youth with the tools to heal and experience success.
Educational services at SCYSC are provided by the Harrison School District. Educational opportunities include core subjects, elective subjects and vocational instruction. The education program fosters an environment in which at-risk youth can experience success by focusing on achievement in basic academic and pre-vocational skills. While in school youth have the ability to work on grade-level appropriate work for credit transferable to high school graduation or a General Equivalency Diploma (GED). In the education program, students discover and explore ideas in ways which encourage internalization and ownership of the learning process.
Voting Rights of Individuals in the Custody of the Division of Youth Corrections
Youth housed in the facility are male and female and can range in age from 10 through 20 years old.
Visitation is an avenue to build and maintain healthy family and community relationships. Families of youth in the care of the Colorado Division of Youth Corrections are encouraged to visit. Due to limited space availability all visits require a scheduled appointment. You can request visitation by contacting the Spring Creek YSC Intake area at (719) 390-2717.
Monday-Friday by appointment

[Commentary] The Senate's rejection of a "resolution of disapproval" of the Federal Communications Commission's open Internet rules was a major victory for network neutrality, but should anyone care? Not really.
The problems that would be created by a lack of net neutrality are generally monopoly-related. That is, should network operators have the right to slow down various types of competing services? Most reasonable people would say no. After all, is it fair to essentially control the network infrastructure and also compete with smaller businesses that rely on that infrastructure? This theoretical problem becomes a real one in the broadband market, because in many parts of the country there are at most two choices for last mile service. As I've argued before, having two providers (telco and cable) in an area doesn't constitute a free broadband marketplace. It encourages cronyism, even collusion. The right way to proceed is to emulate Europe: Unbundle the middle mile network from the last mile. That is, don't let the same entities that control the middle mile compete in the last mile market. The middle mile--between the cable company and phone company--is a commons. There, the providers don't overbuild fiber optic; they do fiber swaps.

Restore a Worn Trailer Floor at 1/10th the Cost of Replacement!
Floor Restore protects new floors and is the only solution to reverse the deterioration of your truck or trailer floors.
Floor Restore is both an epoxy floor coating and a structural epoxy adhesive. It is a lightweight, flexible epoxy system that fills gouges, small cracks, and delaminations, and waterproofs the entire floor.
Floor Restore is a penetrating VOC-free epoxy floor coating product that structurally bonds wood fibers and delaminations, creating a stronger trailer or truck flooring structure. It's tough enough to stand up to the most punishing cargos, yet safe enough for USDA incidental food contact compliance. Best of all, Floor Restore requires only 8 hours of drying time, and can be applied to the entire truck flooring or trailer floor at less than 1/10th the cost of a new floor.
Floor Restore epoxy floor coating is in constant demand as a cost-effective floor maintenance program for fleets throughout the US. Let a Key Polymer Sales Representative help find a local dealer near you.
Watch Our Overview Video:
Don't Take Our Word for It
Floor Restore is in constant demand as a cost-effective floor maintenance program for fleets throughout the US. Take it from our satisfied customers.

Composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Conductor Gennadi Rozhdestvensky
Libretto Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Ilya Tyumenev, based on Lev Mey's play of the same name
Bolshoi Opera, Orchestra, and Chorus
Chorus master Valery Borisov
The Tsar's Bride might be Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's most popular opera inside Russia, but this work from 1899 remains a gem to be discovered in much of the rest of the world. A passionate story based on the true tale of Marfa, the ill-fated bride of Ivan the Terrible, its musical variety, arias, ensembles, and grand subject matter make it a perfect fit for the company's brilliant soloists and the resplendent Bolshoi Orchestra and Chorus.
"An upfront rumbustious melodrama, packed with big tunes and thrilling climaxes."

Ordered 10 and 2 don't light up. Luckily, I have time before the party to have them replaced, but would have been very disappointing if we didn't have that option.
Definitely cute and fun, but not the best quality and DEFINITELY not worth the $1.50 each.

Cute flashing light bracelet for our daughter's 11th birthday goodie bags. We only needed 4 so the cost wasn't bad. If we were having a larger party it would have been a little expensive to get a lot of them. There is a protective dome over the on/off switch so they don't accidentally get turned on and burn out before you get them. Nice feature.

Quantum 9 offers cannabis mobile application integration. Quick response codes will reside next to plant bins allowing gardeners to track nutrient additions easily. Users can quickly link to a plant profile within the Quantum 9 web interface and observe what nutrient additions have taken place in real time. By tracking all additives in the Quantum 9 application, users can review nutrient additions at harvest time to determine what schedule produced the most medicine. This will allow users to dial in a schedule that produces larger quantities of medical marijuana. Additionally, owners can remotely monitor what and when gardeners are adding nutrients. http://www.quantum9.net/PublicSite/q9mobile.html
According to this patent Granted August 12, 2014 We claim: 1. A method of a user computing device comprising a scanner and a computer accessing one of a plurality of remote information computers available for communication over a network, comprising: scanning a bar code symbol affixed to an article of commerce, the bar code symbol encoded with an index readable by the user computing device; transmitting the index by the user computing device to a remote server computer over the network for the remote server computer to access with the index a database comprising a plurality of records comprising predetermined relationships that link an index to a pointer which identifies a remote information computer on the network, extract a pointer from the database as a function of the index, and return the pointer to the user computing device over the network; and the user computing device receiving the pointer and then using the pointer to establish communication directly via the network with the remote information computer identified by the pointer. KEY IS THAT commerce == whole system of an economy (all activities, functions and institutions involved in transferring goods from producers to consumers) http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PTXT&p=1&p=1&S1=Hudetz-PETER-R.INNM.&OS=IN/Hudetz-PETER-R&RS=IN/Hudetz-PETER-R What constitutes infringement of a patent? To decide whether an inventor is violating (infringing) a patent, it is necessary to carefully examine the patent's "claims." (Claims are terse statements of the scope of the invention, and most patents contain more than one of them.) The elements of each claim must be compared with the elements of the accused infringer's invention (usually a device or process). If the elements of a patent claim match the elements of the device or process (called "reading on" or "teaching" the device or process), an infringement has occurred. Even if the claims don't literally match the elements of the infringing device, it is possible that a court would find an infringement by applying what's known as the "doctrine of equivalents"; that is, the patented invention and the allegedly infringing device or process are sufficiently equivalent in what they do and how they do it to warrant a finding of infringement. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/enforcing-patent-faq-29148.html LIST OF ALL PATENTS https://www.google.com.tr/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&q=inassignee:%22Neomedia+Technologies,+Inc.%22&gws_rd=ssl Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) licensed the NeoMedia technology for the life of the patents, until 2023 or 2025 for the core patents, Marriott said.

A growing number of highly successful campaigns that have incorporated a QR code have eliminated any doubt that it is possible to use these barcodes for tremendous achievements, but at the same time, there is a right way and a wrong way to getting the most out of what they have to offer a mobile marketing strategy.
Our investigators have been seeing some fantastic campaigns with a QR code, but there have also been some clear failures that have been spotted over the weeks. Mobile marketers that are seeking to use these barcodes for an inexpensive strategy that really pays off will need to pay attention to what other firms have done successfully, and where they have let themselves down.
Among the do's that our investigators recommend based on some of the leading campaigns that they have seen in the past are:
• Do create a call to action. Tell smartphone carrying consumers to use their mobile devices to scan the QR codes in order to be able to obtain something they want, whether it is an app download or a digital coupon for incredible savings. • Do provide a mobile friendly experience. Even if you convince a consumer to scan, if all they see on their small screen is a website designed for a larger display, this will be a fast track to the end of the experience. By making the experience easy to see and navigate on a smartphone, consumers will be more willing and able to stick around and interact with what they find. • Do offer social media sharing options. The only thing that is better than engaging one consumer is engaging many more. Give people who scan the QRcode the chance to share what they discover and like.
On the other hand, there are some don'ts that are important to avoid but that are still found all too frequently in campaigns featuring quick response codes.
• Don't place the barcode in a location that is hard to scan. Regardless of the offer and the great call to action, if your barcode requires too much effort to read – or if it is likely to drive off before a scan can be completed – then even the best campaigns will fail. • Don't forget to use multimedia features. Remember that the whole point of QR codes is to reach consumers on their smartphones. In this type of situation, a video can provide a much friendlier experience than a lengthy written document. It is also much more likely to be shared over social media. • Don't forget to check the function of the QR code. If you come up with a stunning campaign, but the barcode doesn't actually work due to some kind of error, then you have placed all of your eggs in a basket with a hole in the bottom.
This week, our investigators saw a QR code campaign that was close to perfect at Bank of America. The barcode was positioned so that customers waiting in line (and who therefore had nothing better to do than view the ad and read the barcode) could scan and download the mobile banking app. There was a call to action that explained exactly what the customer had to do and why, but it also took the additional step of telling the consumer that they can have the application demoed by a bank employee. This additional effort including employee support was exactly what was missed at the Venetian Hotel in Vegas, as pointed out by our investigators a few weeks ago.
