Another interesting reported in the New York Times on 8/27/07 in an article entitled "Mobile Homes Only Hit a milestone" by Alex Mindlin:

"Since September 2006 to April 2007, the percentage of Americans in households only phone for the first time exceeded the percentage of households with landline only, according to Mediamark Research, a company that has been tracking such data since the mid 1980s. Mediamark said 84.5 percent of households now have landlines, and 86.2 percent have at least a cell phone. Andy Arthur, study author and an analyst with Mediamark, said the number of households with landlines, probably continue to decline. " In another Times article [" Snip! almost one fifth of households have no fixed ", 9/17/08, Saul Hansell] is reported late 2008 that 20percent of households can not have a phone line from home. This is calculated up to 27percent by 2010.

Burglar alarm systems are the best way to prevent theft and protect your family and property, and are a proven deterrent. Statistics show that 60% of theft attempt in households installed burglar alarms are unsuccessful. Alarms are valuable weapons in the fight against crime.

Alarm systems that incorporate home monitoring are the most efficient which not only scare off the robbers but also ask for help. This kind of global system in general, depends on the support phones. The decrease constant the number of households with phones means that an increasing number of households are deprived of the potential benefits of general alarm protection. This trend has led to the development of Wireless GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), alarm systems. Modern GSM Wireless Burglar Alarm Systems offers comprehensive, scalable protection without the need for a landline, with the use of a SIM card from a cellular operator that allow your alarm for help via cellular networks.

In conclusion, a growing majority of households now use only cell phones, global thief deterrence is now available with GSM Wireless alarm systems.

IBM SPSS Categories 19 (Win, Mac, Linux) $514 IBM SPSS Categories (formerly PASW Categories) provides you with all the tools you need to obtain clear insight into complex categorical and numeric data, as well as high dimensional data. Use IBM SPSS Categories to understand which characteristics consumers relate most closely to your brand, or to determine customer perception of your products compared to other products you or your competitors offer. Discover underlying relationships through perceptual maps, bi plots and tri plots Work with and understand nominal (e.g. salary) and ordinal (e.g. education level) data with procedures similar to conventional regression, principal components and canonical correlation to predict outcomes and reveal relationships Visually interpret datasets and see how rows and columns relate in large tables of scores, counts, ratings, rankings or similarities Deal with non normal residuals in numeric data or nonlinear relationships between predictor variables (e.g. customer or product attributes) and the outcome variable (e.g. purchase/non purchase) Use Ridge Regression, the Lasso, the Elastic Net, variable selection and model selection for both numeric and categorical data Features & Benefits: Unleash the full potential of your data through predictive analysis, statistical learning, perceptual mapping, preference scaling and dimension reduction techniques –including optimal scaling of your variables. Graphically display underlying relationships IBM SPSS Categories’ dimension reduction techniques enable you to clarify relationships in your data by using perceptual maps and biplots: Perceptual maps are high resolution summary charts that graphically display similar variables or categories close to each other. They provide you with unique insight into relationships between more than two categorical variables. Biplots and triplots enable you to look at the relationships among cases, variables and categories. For example, you can define relationships between products, customers and demographic characteristics. By using the preference scaling feature, you can further visualize relationships among objects. The breakthrough algorithm on which this procedure is based enables you to perform non metric analyses for ordinal data and obtain meaningful results. The proximities scaling procedure allows you to analyze similarities between objects, and incorporate characteristics for objects in the same analysis. Turn qualitative variables into quantitative ones Perform additional statistical operations on categorical data with the advanced procedures available in IBM SPSS Categories: Use optimal scaling procedures to assign units of measurement and zero points to your categorical data Choose from state of the art procedures for model selection and regularization vPerform correspondence and multiple correspondence analyses to numerically evaluate similarities between two or more nominal variables in your dataset Summarize your data according to important componen
