Happy New Year 2014!

Every year we celebrate the new year with toasts to good health, watching the ball drop, and metaphorically sweeping out the old as the new is swept in. Celebrations of the new year didn’t begin with Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest’s crowded New York City Times Square hubbub. It even out dates the Gregorian calendar, going back to the Roman’s Janus, the god of gates and new beginnings. The Romans marked the turn of their Julian calendar with a feast for Janus, whose name was later used to form the name for the beginning of the Gregorian calendar - January. In a long tradition of turning pagan festivals into Christian celebrations, Pope Gregory declared that the first day of the new year would be a feast in commemoration of the Christ child’s circumcision, which would historically occur on the eighth day of a Hebrew boy baby’s life. (January 1st is exactly 8 days after Christmas, on December 25th.)

Over time, as the Roman Catholic Church took over the majority of the known world, this morphed into a very widely-spread celebration, and today is celebrated in every time zone with fireworks and cheers.Though we’ve certainly steered away from the entire population celebrating the circumcision of a child, we still celebrate the new year as a time of new life and new opportunity. So, here’s to 2014 being a year of prosperity, rebirth and success in all areas of your life. May you keep the good of 2013, and expound upon it. May you toss out the bad, and rejuvenate the ‘old’ areas of your life. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

9/11: De Oppresso Liber

Twelve years ago today... I had just been dropped off at my new school, sat down next to my new friend and started organizing the previous day's homework. It was Benton’s birthday, so we sang to him and then got started with our reading groups. Once those were finished, Mrs. Thornburgh ushered us all outside for snack. I talked to Stephanie and Richie, my cousin that was in another class, while we sat on the curb under the crabapple trees. A third grade teacher, Mrs. Farmer, came out and whispered to Mrs. Thornburgh and Mrs. Patterson, and suddenly Mrs. Thornburgh was yelling out that break was over early and that we had to hurry into Mrs. Patterson’s room. We were excitedly ushered in (I was mainly excited just because I got to stay with my cousin for a bit longer) and a television was rolled in on one of those mobile carts.

Our tittering voices hushed as Mrs. Patterson explained, with a face like paper, that something terrible had happened. That people were dying. The television was tuned to the news and we watched as footage showed a massive plane crashing into a huge tower, bursting into flames. A bunch of words that I didn’t know were tossed about - hijack, World Trade Center, terrorist, jihad. I got the basic idea, though... people were dying and New York, New York - the city in all those Frank Sinatra songs that my uncles liked to shout out when they were getting rowdy - was burning, crumbling, and falling to the ground.

Several years later, we visited New York. I was a bit older, in high school now, and it was ten years after the horrid deed had been done. We visited the crater that now stood in memoriam of those whose lives had been taken, and saw the pictures of the desolation. We touched the names of those firefighters who had given their lives to save others - now immortalized in black stone. The scene was cold, bleak... it wasn’t comforting, but what happened there was something that lacks all comfort - absolute disregard for human life and an attack on not only a city, but an entire country and the principle of freedom on which it was founded. Today, on the twelfth anniversary of 9/11 (Patriot Day), we remember those who lost their lives and the New York emergency responders who gave their lives to save other people’s lives. The families who mourn their loss are always in our prayers.

Annual Costs of Technology

Annually, Americans spend upwards of 150 billion dollars (that’s $150,000,000,000.00) on electronics, whether it be phones, computers or televisions. On average each adult spends somewhere between 1,200 to 3,000 dollars per year, with a few outliers spending more or less than those numbers. A large percentage of this spending is found in business spending on maintaining, replacing, or buying new electronics. While most modern electronics are built with the philosophy of planned obsolescence or gradual decay, American conscience appears to be programmed with consumerism - therefore as our electronics break down, we replace them over and over again, leading to far more money spent on electronics than most everything else - except for food. The most logical way to cut the cost of household and business spending on electronics would be to attempt to lengthen the shelf life of your computers and televisions. How can you do this, though, if everything is built so that you have to replace them within a short period of time? Computer Bracket Solutions has the answer. We endeavor to use our knowledge of technology in order to make products that will let you hold onto the electronics you love for much longer.

One of the leading things that influence the “lifetime” of electronics is how well you take care of them - an iPhone® in a Otterbox® lifeproof case will last much longer than an iPhone® without any case whatsoever. Similarly, you computers and televisions will have a shorter lifetime if you’re not taking care of them - making sure the software is safe and virus-free, making sure it has proper cooling at all times to prevent overheating, cleaning the monitor and computer itself and overall doing maintenance to keep it “healthy.” Part of gang that “kills” you electronics are the dust and dirt that collects around the computer itself. In order to minimize or eliminate the effect of dust and dirt you can get your computer off the floor. No one wants a big, clunky computer sitting on their sleek desk, so we have come up with the computer stand. This elevates your computer out of the clutter that is apt to surround it on the floor and enables you to lengthen the longevity of the computer thereby preventing the necessity of buying a new computer every single two years. Cutting back on this cost would significantly impact the amount of money that’s spent on electronics every year (not to mention the amount of waste generated by the thrown out electronics), both by individual consumers and businesses.

Independence Day

Two hundred and thirty seven years ago former President John Adams told his beloved wife, Abigail, the day that the Congressional delegations signed the Declaration of Independence would be celebrated with pomp and circumstance. He said “it ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance... with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward, forever more.” To this day we celebrate the fourth of July as the day that we declared America’s freedom from Britain with fireworks and parties, food and fun. We celebrate our freedom, as a people. We wear our colors - the glorious red, white and blue; we eat hotdogs and hamburgers and sing the Star-Spangled Banner until our throats are sore from yelling that final “braaavvveee”.

But freedom, as nearly any other commodity, comes at a price. Another well-known political activist and theorist, and the author of Rights of Man, Thomas Paine was quoted saying “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” While our forefathers knew well what it cost to gain freedom, we know what it’s like to continue to support that freedom with lives lost and in constant vigilance. Our freedom has been achieved by our predecessors, and it is now up to us, the generations that are alive presently, to retain those freedoms for our progeny. Because of the price that is paid, and the prize that is awarded, we are able to have pride in our nation. We can look on our colors with elation in our hearts, and can sing that song with enthusiasm not because of what we’ve been given, but rather what our nation has earned.

This Independence Day we’d like to thank those who have sacrificed to keep our nation free and to keep our democracy of, by and for our people. While the price may be high, freedom is well worth it. The United States of America is the only country with a known birthday, so today, let’s celebrate it! Let our patriotic hearts beat red, white, and blue, and our flying flag never waver. Go USA, go America! Happy Independence Day!

Bringing It Back

Everyone... well, nearly everyone, knows Justin Timberlake’s song “SexyBack.” Presumably sexy has gone away, and he’s bringing it back. We’ve put a little twist on it - we’re bringing safety back (that’s as far as we’ve gotten in the parody lyrics), with lead-free made-in-the-USA manufactured products. Recent news stories have covered health issues contracted via increased exposure to lead, leading to a variety of extreme issues in both adults and children, and can even affect children in the womb. In adults, lead poisoning can lead to reproductive problems, cancer, nerve disorders, high blood pressure, hypertension, and muscle and joint paint, while the issues plaguing children are more severe - brain and muscle damage, hearing problems, behavioral and learning problems, slowed growth and extreme migraines in addition to all the adult problems when they’re older.

All of these issues and just from a little lead? That’s crazy! See, the thing is that many of the products that are around us have lead in them, and only in recent years have these problems begun to be noticed. Warning labels stating that lead poisoning is harmful are generally hidden or go unnoticed due to positioning, and are normally accompanied (oh the irony) by Made in China stickers. Gardening tools, used by people who are intentionally growing their own organic food in order to escape this plague, contain lead. Cheap kitchen appliances contain lead, and are constantly around food, one of the primary ways to come into contact with lead.

In order to avoid lead poisoning, we’re suggesting you bring it back - being safe, and bringing your dollars and manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Look for “Made in the USA” stickers, and make absolutely certain that the product does not have any lead warnings on its surface. All of Computer Bracket Solution’s products are made and manufactured here in the United States, and are 100% lead-free for your protection. We’re bringing safety back, and some much needed jobs here in the USA.

Computer Stands in Medical Facilities

We live in the age of technology. It’s no big secret that paper is phasing out, and advanced computers, phones, and other forms of technology are definitely taking center stage. With their gleaming screens and sleek look, they have a little more appeal than a folder stuffed full of papers or the yellowed and faded pages of a crusty, old book. Even places that you wouldn’t expect to ditch the tried-and-true records of the past have opted for electronic infiltration, one of these being hospitals. EHRs, or a patient’s electronic health record, are the new fad in hospitals, where accessing record of a patient’s past or present diseases is as easy as a few clicks of a button. This new mode of receiving information has aided hospitals in recovering in the face of several natural disasters, and has increased the spending of hospitals and other medical facilities on technology and technologic accessories.

One such accessory is the mobile computer stand, sometimes referred to as an electronics cart. Hospitals have begun using stands, rather than desks, to house their laptops or computers. Many of these stands are mobile, being able to be freely shifted and moved through the long and complex maze of hospital hallways, while others are stationary by each patient’s bedside, monitoring heart rate and other health levels. Using these carts enables them to keep the computer in an area where it is easily accessible, mobile, and free from the dust and clutter that typically accompanies a desktop location.

We’d like to propose that what is good for the hospital is good for us. Why be satisfied with a cluttered and dusty desk computer? Why not raise it above that level? Use a stand to elevate your computer above the collection of paper and books you have laying around, and don’t let it collect dust. Let it be clean, neat, and easily accessible.
