what is a unlocked cell phone?
Some cell phones are designed to use a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, or microchip that stores subscriber data. The SIM card is issued by a carrier and provides cell service by activating any phone into which it is inserted. A locked phone, however, will only recognize a SIM card from a particular carrier. If the cell phone is unlocked, it will recognize a SIM card from any carrier. The "lock" is a software setting that keeps the cell phone "loyal" to one carrier. In areas like the United States where carriers offer free or deeply discounted phones with cell plans, the phones are commonly locked so that they will not work with other carriers. From the viewpoint of the consumer, the practice of carriers locking phones and using proprietary settings defeats many of the benefits of SIM handsets. One way to get an unlocked phone without proprietary settings is to buy it new from a third party vendor in its original, unlocked state.

Further Resources on Indian History As in a number of other historical areas, a real problem with much of the online material on South Asian history is that it is presented with manifest nationalist (or other ideological bias). © This text is copyright.

ORB: Iron and Steel Production in the Middle Ages
{*style:<b><i>Medieval Science and Technology: Original Essays </i></b>*} Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto Iron is one of the most useful metals ever discovered, but it is also one of the more difficult metals to understand in history, especially in medieval history. Pure, unadulterated iron is only moderately hard, as anyone who has bent a nail with a hammer can attest. Cast iron, on the other hand, is enormously strong. Steel, iron with a small amount of carbon dissolved inside its structure, combines the best of both worlds. Carbon is the major variable that distinguishes between wrought iron, steel, and cast iron. The job of the smelting furnace is to reduce the metal from its chemically combined state to a metallic state. The smelting furnace has two tools to bring about this transformation: heat and carbon. The temperature inside the furnace is a critical variable. The bloomery type of smelter must produce wrought iron.

Internet East Asian History Sourcebook
There is no way of avoiding the fact that China is the central culture of Eastern Asia. Massively larger than any of her neighbors, China may have developed its cultural forms in relative isolation, but since the advent of Buddhism has both absorbed outside influences and disseminated its own culture. Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures are not comprehensible without taking into account power of Chinese culture in art, literature and religion. Chinese culture itself is highly complex, and the other East Asian cultures also reflect local circumstances and traditions. For instance the (later) Chinese ideal of a scholar-gentleman contrasts strongly with Japanese warrior ideals. See my Brooklyn College: Chinese Cultural Studies class page. This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major online Sourcebooks listed below, along with added texts and web site indicators.
