Early Years of Brother Printer Company - Brief History

There are so many printer companies in the world today that it is difficult to keep track of them. More and more companies are exploring the opportunities thrown open by the increasing demand for printers and are coming out with new models promising better quality and reliability. However, there are some companies who have done pioneering work in terms of printing technology and have been there throughout the course of the printer history. The Brother Printer Company is one such manufacturer who has always been associated with high quality printers.

The Brother Industries

Brother Industries Ltd is a Japanese company that produces a diverse range of products including label printers, printers, multifunction printers, machine tools, sewing machines, typewriters and many other computer related electronics. In the world of printers the Brother Printer Company is known for its quality, reliability, and efficacy of its printer models and the company has gravitated from distributing various printers under OEM agreement with other companies to distributing products under its own name.

Early History

An interesting fact to note is that the Brother Printer Company did not start out as a printer company. It was a company that started out manufacturing sewing machines in 1908. Back in the those days the company went by the name of Yasui Sewing Machine Co. and was founded by Kanekichi Yasui in Nagoya, Japan. In 1934, the company changed its name to Nippon Sewing Machine Manufacturing Co.

Growth and Printers

In the 1950s the company began to call itself the Brother International Corporation and started the overseas export of their sewing machines. They were very successful in this regard and have been credited with many advances in the sphere of knitting machines and home appliances during this time. However, it was not until 1971 that the semblance of the Brother Printer Company came into being when they created the revolutionary new high-speed dot matrix printers.

In early 2003, the Brother Printer Company brought out its multi-function devices into the market. These were printing devices and over time these Brother printers have been widely appreciated. When it comes to printers sales, the Brother Printer Company is widely regarded as one of the front runners.

A Brief Timeline of Brother Printers

It was in 1971 that the Brother Printer Company launched the worlds first high speed dot matrix printers. In the year 1985 the UK arm of Brother Industries started the production of electronic typewriters. In 2003, the China based, Shenzhen, arm of Brother Industries started the production of multi-function products including printers. This is just a very brief outline of the timeline of the Brother Printer Company, and the company has gone through many other chapters of history when it comes to its printer business.

Mind Science - A Brief History of the New Thought Movement

Mind science has recently become the rage. Over the last 20 years, ever since science realizes that mind has far greater influence on the state our physical body and life than previously thought, there have been an increasing number of researches, experiments and studies done on the mind. The phenomenal success of The Secret movie that advocates that our mind is the creator of our realities and we have the power to be in control over our own destiny simply by mastering our own mind has further generated interest in this field.

However, not many know that mind science has been around with us for a long, long time.

The oldest document on this subject can be traced to the Emerald Tablet about 3,000 years ago. This tablet, attributed to the teachings of Hermes, the God of Wisdom of both the ancient Greece and Egypt, taught the Law of Correspondence which says "As Above, So Below; As Within, So Without". It says that the physical world is a mirror reflection of the spiritual world, and our own individual world is a reflection of our inner world of mind.

About 2,600 years ago, another man called Siddharta Gautama, realized this truth and more. Called the Awaken One, Gautama became the Buddha and taught in India for 45 years on the power of the mind, how to purify it and realize the ultimate truth. Thus became the spread of Buddhism.

Almost 600 years later, another man fully realized the link and relationship between spirit and matter, and with this knowledge was able to perform what has been regarded as miracles in feats and cures. Jesus of Nazareth became the Christ and son of God, teaching that the Son is the physical manifestation of the Father and that all human beings have this same relationship with the Divine.

In our own time, the New Thought movement began sometime in the mid 1800's when a man named Phineas P. Quimby began to teach that illnesses are merely due to errors in beliefs, and that by changing or correcting those beliefs, people can be healed. Quimby healed people in this way from 1840 to 1866, without the aid of medicine or rituals. So successful he was at healing that his fame grew to him patients from everywhere. Among some of his patients were Warren Felt Evans, J. Dresslers, Mary Baker Eddy and other notables who learned his techniques, modified them and used them for various purposes. Quimby's teaching was too far ahead of his time, and he himself did not publish his teachings in any book form although many of his writings were inherited by his son.

From this initial New Thought movement followed authors like Wallace D. Wattles who wrote his now famous "The Science of Getting Rich" book in 1910. Wallace also wrote "The Science of Being Great" and "The Science of Being Well". James Allen was another notable author who wrote "As a Man Thinketh". Over the Atlantic in England, a retired judge for the province of Punjab gave a series of lectures on mental science in Edinburgh and Dore, which was eventually published as "The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science" and "The Dore Lectures on Mental Science". This man, named Thomas Troward, is especially masterful in his clear and concise explanations and descriptions of how the mind affects the world we live in. These are only a few of the many authors who published their works on mental science. Ernest Holmes, another student of mental science, eventually founded the Church of Religious Science which flourishes even today.

However, it was the explosion of the Internet which eventually allows people from all over the world who have Internet access to read, practice and share these "new" teachings with others. It was also the Internet that helps to popularize The Secret movie to the world.

Within the scientific community, more and more scientists are now exploring the mind through various researches and studies with meditators and mind control experts. The 14th Dalai Lama has contributed extensively to these researches by allowing scientists access to his group of highly accomplished meditating monks and Buddhist scholars. Thus scientists are able to study the difference between an ordinary mind of the common man and that of a highly accomplished monk.

Indeed, mind science is the final frontier. It is limitless and the potential for greater things in life has yet to be fully explored.
