 New
VoIP Specialization in the Wireless Networking Program
(T411), September 16, 2005
|
The Faculty
of Technology, IT Department just launched the new
VoIP specialization in the Wireless Networking program.
VoIP is the forth option available now to our students
in the third semester of this program. This specialization
was created based on the feedback from our industry partners.
Detailed course outlines now available under option
4, semester 3 of T401 courses.
VoIP solutions can be demonstrated
and tested in the VoIP Lab. The layout of the lab enables
the student fo create various configurations to study their
effects on quality of service and other service parameters.
Courses taught by an expert instructor
with multiple industry certifications in VoIP field.
"Voice over IP (VoIP) technology
has transformed the telecom industry! Where once we had
double and triple long distance rates, this inexpensive
technology in the late 90's has lowered rates down to
single digits and in even some cases free. As a pioneer
in this technology space, I see a bright future for it.
Coupled with wireless technologies, the mobile carriers
have some creative opportunities. The possibilities are
only as big as our imagination!"

Beauchamp,

A
Piercing Tradition. Only rings surpass earrings in sales, by
Elvira Cordileone, Toronto Star, November 24, 2005
|
'Flower-power things' are
hot
Why would 17th-century Dutch artist
Jan Vermeer dangle a single gigantic pearl from his model's
left ear in his acclaimed Girl with a Pearl Earring?
The light dancing on the surface of
the pendulous gem pulls the viewer's eye and directs attention
to the pretty line of the girl's jaw and the sensuality
of her plump, slightly parted pink lips.
"The ear is a very powerful canvas," says
Martha Glenny, jewellery school co-ordinator at George Brown College. "And earrings are a generous
embellishment, creating sensation for both wearer and viewer."

George Brown College president
Anne Sado is cooking up some new ideas about education
and its role in meeting the needs of industry
STEVE
RUSSELL/TORONTO STAR
George Brown College president
Anne Sado holds up an entrée in the kitchen of
a restaurant run by the college's hospitality school.
What do you say about a young woman
so not intimidated by men - she was one of a few females
among 500 U of T engineering students back in the unruly
1970s - that she was elected president of her graduating
class.
And treasurer of the engineering society.
But if anyone was surprised by the
trajectory of Anne Sado's career, she is not.

Born in Hong Kong, Vicky
Cheng grew up in New York City, San Francisco and Toronto.
Though he moved around quite a bit, two things have been
constant in Vicky's life: His love for food and his love
for his mother.
From age seven, Vicky was
convinced that cooking is a noble calling. "While everyone
was watching the Simpsons," he says, "I was watching
the food channel."
Vicky has worked at L'Auberge
du Pommier in Toronto for the last two years and chose his
executive chef, Jason Bangerter, to be his mentor. With Jason
driving him, Vicky hopes to win this competition and prove
to his doubters that he has what it takes to become a successful
chef.

"I'm more excited than you could

PROJECTS SHINE
George Brown ingenuity on display
By RADHIKA PANJWANI, TORONTO SUN, April 6, 2005
|
A SHINY red tool box is mounted on
what appears to be a mini golf cart with an adjustable seat.
A video display lets technicians peer into hard-to-get-at
places. The seat can position workers at just the right height.
The "automated tool box," the
brainchild of George Brown College's Kris Dutkiewicz, Harjinder
Verdi, and Thanh Truoung, was
one of the exhibits students showed off at the Technology
in the City fair yesterday at the Casa Loma campus
off Davenport Rd. Dutkiewicz came up with the idea after
watching his dad, an electrician with arthritis, struggle
to lug his heavy tool box.
"I saw my dad kneel down on the
floor one day and it was torture," he said. [Read

YERMA
at George Brown Theatre

By Federico Garcia
Lorca
Directed by Richard Rose
February 9-19, 2005
Yerma - a woman in a traditional Spanish
village - aches to be a mother, just like all the other
women of her village, but her cold and indifferent husband
shuns her embrace. In this play Lorca creates a deeply
moving portrait of a woman racked by a desire so intense
it explodes in a final act of absolute despair.
