Rosie Huntington – Whiteley Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010

2011-01-04T10:28:00.001-08:00

Remember that Michael Bay directed video ad for Victoria’s Secret? The one he did last year? Should have known back then that Rosie Huntington – Whiteley is going to make it big in the Transformers since she’s the one replacing Megan Fox for the third installment of man vs robot vs more robots saga.
Rosie took a break from filming the above – mentioned autobots adventure and catwalked down the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010. Looking good, as usual, wearing some eye – popping, strange – matching blue booties for one of the outfits (the Wild Things part) and forcing the life out of that pout. Easy does it better, Rosie!

Porno izlemek cinsel hayatı olumsuz etkiler mi

2011-01-04T10:21:00.000-08:00

Cinsel yaşamınızı eski günlerdeki gibi siyah beyaz değil de, renkli görmek istiyorsanız porno filmlerin yardımına başvurabilirsiniz. Bizden uyarması: Çok izlemek sansüre neden olabiliyor!

İlişkiyi heyecanlı tutmanın yollarından birinin de porno film izlemek olduğu düşünülür. Uzmanlar da bu konuda aynı fikirde ama bir dereceye kadar! Her şeyin aşırısında olduğu gibi porno film izlemede de aşırıya kaçıldığında sorunlar ortaya çıkabiliyor.

Cinsellik, günlük sohbetlerde rahatça konuşulabilen, fikir alışverişi yapılabilen konulardan değil. Cinsel ilişki ile ilgili detaylar ise daha da mahrem.

Porno filmler; başka kadınlar ve başka erkekler hakkında, başka çiftlerin sevişmeyi nasıl başlattığı, nasıl devam ettirdiği, neler yaptığı gibi merak edilen tüm konularla ilgili cevapların bulunabileceği filmler. Bu da haliyle insanların merak duygusunu tatmin ediyor.

Psikolog Serap Güngör, "Porno film izlemek, cinsel hayatı canlandırmak için şart değil, sadece buna hizmet edebilecek araçlardan biri. Çiftler zaman zaman ilişkiye heyecan katmak için porno film gibi fantezi malzemelerinden yararlanabiliyor ve bunun hiçbir zararı yok.

Kendi kendilerine ya da eşleriyle arzuladıkları cinsel yaşantıyı yakalamakta zorlanan ya da cinsel yaşantılarının sıradanlaştığını fark edenler için porno filmler uyarıcı, ateşleyici, başlatıcı ve destekleyici işlev görebiliyor.

Porno, monotonlaşmış cinsel birlikteliklere renk kattığı gibi ilişkileri canlandırabiliyor, tazeleyebiliyor. Porno filmlerde yeni şeyler görülebiliyor, öğrenilebiliyor ve bunlar arasından uygun olanlar seçilerek cinsel yaşama aktarılabiliyor.

Cinsel yaşantı daha heyecanlı, keyifli, tatmin edici, memnuniyet verici hale geliyorsa bu durum, yaptığınız işin olumlu etkilerini yaşıyorsunuz anlamına geliyor. Çünkü cinsellik öğrenilebilen ve geliştirilebilen bir davranış" diyor

Free pattern: teeny tiny knitted toys

Little Cotton Rabbit has an adorable pattern for knitting tiny soft animals that would make pefrect pram toys. The project is also a great way to use up leftover yarn.

The pattern will show you how to make a rabbit and bear, both measuring just under 2.5 inches (6 cms) long. It's a bit fiddly, but heaps of fun, and good practice for getting those precision stitches spot on. And their little faces are just so unbearably cute! Think I'm going to move on to something else now before my maternal instincts eat me.

Anna Sui Spring Summer 2011 Collection

Anna Sui Spring Summer 2011 Collection

The ethno simplicity and the hippy sharm were enough to bring me to a happy place, somewhere countryside where the sun shines bright and puts that gorgeous smile on the models faces! Clearly receiving the same stylists consignment to pick a seventies related theme for the collection, Anna Sui did her best to highlight that and still have fun while doing it. (more images right after the jump and a catwalk video)

It may not be the most avant-garde and noire couture out there (and that’s something I’m thankful for), but Anna Sui’s collections make me safe in such a mad, mad catwalk world. Smiling is good, girly is good and country is definitely good. Give me a wardrobe full of Anna Sui and I’d feel like celebrating life with every garment I’d wear! Frills and thrills, the emotions of light and positivism through fabrics, I’m sold! Is it spring yet? (you can see photos of the entire collection here)

Romantik bir Mum
Wrap fragrant pillar candles in homemade paper for a romantic look. Brass hearts add extra romantic appeal. You can vary the look of the paper for different occasions.

Supplies:
Arnold Grummer's Heart & Flowers Ceramic Casting Mold
Arnold Grummer's Papermill Complete Kit
Arnold Grummer's Angel Wings: Multi Color Mix
Arnold Grummer's Flame Free for Paper Crafts
Arnold Grummer's Cotton Linter Casting Squares: 2 oz package
Wastepaper to recycle: pink, white
Blender
Dishpan
Ruler
Paintbrush
Craft glue
Large needle
Purple metallic ribbon
3 small round brads
5 brass heart brads
Pillar candle with concave top

Steps:
Follow the instructions in any Arnold Grummer paper making set to make one sheet each of white and pink handmade paper. For botanical look: remove seeds from 1 to 2 Angel Wing petals; add to pulp in blender for last few seconds of blending.

Make lines on handmade sheets using a ruler and fine paintbrush dipped in water. Tear along the wet lines to make 'torn edge' pieces in these sizes: white - 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"; pink - 3" x 3".

Follow directions on Arnold Grummer's Cotton Linter Casting Squares to create heart paper cast. Gently tear excess paper from heart cast to leave a 1/4" torn edge border around image.

Use craft glue to attach strip of handmade paper around candle, 1/2" up form the bottom of candle. There will be a gap, but the paper cast will cover the gap between ends of the strip.

Wrap metallic ribbon around the handmade paper strip several times. Secure with craft glue.

Layer and attach white and pink torn edge paper squares, and paper cast as shown.

Use a needle to poke holes at top right, bottom right, and bottom left of casting on candle. Insert small round brass brads into holes. Poke four holes around the strip of paper and insert heart brads.

Attach a ribbon bow to the top left corner. Cut off brad prongs from the remaining heart and secure to the center of the bow with craft glue.
Note: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Pillar candles with concave tops normally do not drip. To prevent wax from dripping, refrigerate candle 1 to 2 hours before burning and keep lit for only 1 to 2 hours at a time. Use Arnold Grummer's FLAME FREE for PAPER CRAFTS on any paper candle wrap used in a display at a restaurant or hall.

Tracerco Diagnostics

2009-03-09T02:55:00.000-07:00

Do you want an installed method of regularly assessing the operation of your distillation tower, reducing operating costs and reducing shutdown time?
To meet the changing needs of our customers the Tracerco research and development team has designed an alternative technique to conventional tower scanning. The TRACERCO Diagnostics™ RapidScan technology combines sophisticated wireless detector capability with an easy to install permanent scanning guide wire system.
The TRACERCO Diagnostics™ Tower Scan method has been used for over 20 years by many major chemical and refining companies around the world. The combined data acquisition software from these techniques coupled with TRACERCO Diagnostics™ RapidScan hardware increases efficiency and reliability of scan data by providing fast, consistent data acquisition from fixed orientations. The service allows repeatable tower scanning that can quickly evaluate mechanical or process related problems offering plant personnel a cost effective process diagnostics solution to optimize or troubleshoot tower performance. Even columns with limited or zero ladder access do not pose an obstacle following installation of a TRACERCO Diagnostics™ RapidScan system.
Improved Accuracy - the scans will use a fixed orientation so repeat scans are guaranteed to utilise identical geometries
Better Data Reliability – data will not be affected by weather conditions (wind)
Increased Safety – all scanning operations will be from ground level with no need to climb the tower, eliminating workingfrom heights
Greater Cost Savings – after initial setup, the high costs of scaffolding or cranes for columns that have inadequate or no access is eliminated
Enhanced Efficiency – reduces time needed to conduct a scan lessening the burden on operations to hold column at set conditions
The capabilities of conventional tower scanning are not lost. In fact, the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ RapidScan system potentially improves our ability to diagnose more subtle process changes by stringently controlling and eliminating variability in scan line orientations and paths.
Features Identified
Tray damage
Liquid maldistribution/blockages in packed beds
Tray liquid loading
Jet and liquid stack flooding
Packing damage
Distributor performance
Presence and density of foam
All of the stainless steel pulleys and bracket work will be attached to the existing structure using insulation bands utilising the ‘band-it’ system. No welding or direct attachment to the column walls is required; hence the vessel pressure envelope will not be affected.

Winged luxury submarines 'fly' underwater

2009-03-07T23:20:00.000-08:00

CNN) -- Most people have had dreams of flying. Graham Hawkes had dreams of flying -- underwater.
The Deep Flight Super Falcon made its maiden voyage in San Francisco Bay in September.

Hawkes has been in the business of building underwater craft for more than a decade. In the early days, his company, Hawkes Ocean Technologies, built vehicles for researchers and moviemakers.
But in the past few years, the ultrarich have increasingly looked for cool playthings for their ocean adventures.
What better toy to have on the end of your 200-foot yacht than a submarine capable of diving to 1,500 feet below the sea's surface?
Whoops. Did we say submarine? It's a submersible that can "fly" underwater.
The Deep Flight Super Falcon looks like a fighter jet, with its thin body, two seats, two sets of wings and two tail fins.
"We just had to tear up everything we knew about submersibles and start again on winged subs -- underwater flying machines," Hawkes said.
He said Deep Flight submersibles are designed to be more agile than any creature living in the ocean -- with the exception of dolphins. The company says that because of the wings, the Super Falcon can go barrel-rolling with dolphins while traveling at speeds much faster than other private submarines.

The craft can stay underwater for up to five hours and travel at speeds up to 6 knots, the company says on its Web site.
The first client for the Super Falcon was venture capitalist Tom Perkins, who wanted a toy to keep on his mega-yacht, the Maltese Falcon. The base price: $1.3 million. Another model, which has open cockpits and cannot dive as deep as the Super Falcon, sells for $350,000.
Perkins, writing in Boating International magazine, said he joined the project to take the Super Falcon from prototype to a fully functional craft.
"Like some of my other projects, we didn't finish on time, but also like some of the others, the end result exceeded all our expectations," he said.
The second machine is being built for Hawkes' personal use.
A submarine driver wouldn't recognize the cockpit of the Super Falcon.
"There are no valves, there are no gauges," Hawkes said. "You just power up the thrusters, start your take-off run, put the joystick forward, then the nose goes down. The wings literally pull it down."
That's very different from conventional submarines, which basically dive by changing the ballast of the ship to make it sink.
"It's not just that they look like airplanes, they actually are," Hawkes said. "The machines we build underwater should look like airplanes, not submarines. Airplanes don't look like balloons."
He won't take credit for the idea, saying the idea of a submarine with fins and wings has been thought of before. The 1972 French comic book, "Tintin and the Lake of Sharks," included a shark-like submarine with dorsal fins and a tail. Hawkes said that although the idea of wings may have been obvious, "The prize goes to he that does."
On one of the submersible's first test voyages, Hawkes' team encountered a group of hammerhead sharks. The sharks were curious and swam around the watercraft. One engaged the sub in a game of chicken, only to veer off at the last minute. It was a great reward, Hawkes said.
The craft is powered by batteries and the turbines that drive the ship were made with special care to be incredibly quiet. The maneuverability also lets it navigate in strong currents that stifle other underwater craft, the creators said.
The business plan for Deep Flight includes schools for underwater pilots to fly future versions of the Super Falcon. The next school is scheduled for this summer in the Turks and Caicos, said Karen Hawkes, the company's manager of marketing and communications, in an e-mail.
The three-day course costs $17,000. There is also a half-day, ride-along dive that costs $5,500. Karen Hawkes said the company enrolls 10 to 15 people per course and had open spots for this summer's courses.
She also wrote that while "there really isn't something akin to the FAA governing submersible operations," her company thinks sub manufacturers should offer pilot training to the owners of machine.
Then the owner can load his or her new toy onto their yacht and discover the underwater portion of this planet that most people never see, Hawkes said.
"Do you want to stalk a shark?" he asked. "Do you want to go to a Great White and go woo-hoo? Do you want to do a barrel roll with a whale?
"Shall we go and find some territories that humans have never seen before? ... Get in one of these machines, get below 150 feet -- the deepest that divers go -- and you are the first human eyes to look at that piece of the planet."http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/06/eod.luxury.submarines/index.html

Robotic suit helps paralyzed walk

2009-03-05T04:06:00.000-08:00

LONDON, England (CNN) -- A new robotic suit could transform the lives of paralyzed people, giving them the ability to walk again.
The invention, known as ReWalk, acts like a kind of exoskeleton. It consists of lightweight, motorized leg supports and an assortment of intricate motion sensors.
Users wear a backpack that holds a computerized control box which helps the medical device recognize when a step needs to be taken.
"Standing changes my whole environment. I don't have to look from the bottom up. Now I am eye to eye with everybody," Radi Kaiof, who has used the device, told CNN.
Kaiof, a former Israeli soldier, was paralyzed from the waist down 20 years ago. He doesn't have feeling in his legs but is still able to move with the use of the robotic suit
With the assistance of crutches, which offer balance and support, people paralyzed from the waist down can walk, bend, sit and even climb stairs when they wear the suit.
The futuristic invention offers an alternative to using a wheelchair for those who have functioning upper bodies and are capable of standing with the use of supports.
It is the creation of Dr. Amit Goffer, an engineer and founder of Haifa, Israel-based high-tech firm Argo Medical Technologies. Goffer was inspired to create the device more than a decade ago after he became disabled in an accident.
The medical technology that could help paraplegics do what was once considered impossible isn't available for purchase yet. The device wasn't ready for testing until late 2007 and currently is in clinical trials in Tel Aviv.
More trials are planned for the United States and Europe, and if the product receives the necessary approvals, it could hit the market in 2010.
The price of the device hasn't been set yet, but is expected to be comparable with the typical average yearly expense of using a wheelchair.
The robotic suit improves the quality of life of people paralyzed from the waist down, according to Goffer, who wanted to give paraplegics an alternative to using a wheelchair. It also benefits their overall health since it keeps their bodies active all day long, he says.
But when it comes down to it, the invention is all about helping people regain respect. Dignity is "the No. 1 problem" for people who use wheelchairs, says Goffer.
For Kaiof, the former soldier, the robotic suit has changed his life. Before he tried it on, his daughter had never seen him stand before.
When he stood before her for the first time, she couldn't believe just how tall he was, he recounted to CNN.

It is Easy Being Green

2009-03-05T04:02:00.000-08:00

5 low-cost things you can do to go greener at home
By Dena Kouremetis
When that certain lovable Muppet Kermit the Frog sang “It isn’t Easy Being Green” so long ago, chances are pretty good that he wasn’t referring to how easy it is to help the environment.
Helping the world go greener can begin with you. Anything from purchasing the right appliances to changing out a light bulb can make a huge difference to both the world around you and even your pocketbook in the long run.
1. Reaching for the “stars”What is already in place in your home that could be a drain on energy? Is it that old refrigerator in the garage? Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that one older appliance (such as your trusty old fridge) can cost you as much as $150 more per year than an energy-efficient model?
Here’s a sobering thought — if just 10 homeowners replaced their older appliances with EnergyStar®-qualified ones, it would be equivalent to planting 1.7 million new acres of trees. Plan a budget to slowly replace all your “energy hog” appliances with new energy saving models and you’ll thank yourself later on.
2. How hot is hot and how cold is cold? Turning down the thermostat in cold weather and inching it up during the warm months can save as much as 3-5 percent for each degree adjustment. In fact, as much as 60 percent of your energy bill may be heating and cooling related. Programmable thermostats can make the most prudent adjustments automatically during any 24-hour period but are grossly underused, according to Ron McClure. of the Pleasant Hill, Calif.-based California Home Energy & Comfort Solutions, a company that sends inspectors to perform energy “audits” for homeowners or buyers.
“About six out of ten households already have programmable thermostats but don’t use the automatic (programmable) function on them,” says McClure, “The first thing they do on a cold morning is head to the thermostat to warm up the place and by the time they are comfortable they head out the door without another thought..” he relates. Even if you remember to shut your heat off before you leave the house, however, McClure goes on to say that it costs more to reheat your home than to maintain the temperature with a properly programmed thermostat.
Other low-cost energy saving tasks to look into:
Get some new clothes for your hot water heater by placing an insulating jacket around it (usually costs under $20) and outfit your pipes for even less.
HVAC (heating, ventilation and cooling) changes can contribute even more – something as simple as cleaning your furnace’s air filter monthly during heavy usage times can make a big difference.
Shade your east and west facing windows to prevent the most brutal heat intrusion during summer months. And if your house doesn’t already possess dual-pane energy-efficient windows, why not start replacing those windows slowly, but start with those that receive the most intense sun exposure first?
Saving heat generating activities such as dishwashers and cooking until the evening hours can help you ease up on cooling costs as well as your local energy grid.
Using ceiling fans to move air on low speeds (even if TV reality remodeling shows think they’re not fashionable) can permit you to push the thermostat in either direction, providing more circulation of either cool or warm air.
3. Water, water everywhere but not a drop to waste You may love the forceful flow of water at your faucets, toilets and showerheads, but did you know that installing aerators on them could cut your annual water consumption by more than half?
And then there is the commode... Toilets installed 15 years ago use more than twice the amount of water than the newer low-flow models. Even if you have older toilets, however, you can adjust your float valves to permit a lower water flow into the tank.
4. Going into the light Replacing your incandescent light bulbs with the EnergyStar®-rated compact fluorescent variety all over the house can save you $100 per year, according to the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH), a voluntary partnership between leaders of the homebuilding, product manufacturing, insurance, and financial industries. They calculate that if every family in the U.S. did this, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by one trillion pounds.
True — buying new bulbs does take an initial investment, but even a recent ad by Starbucks in The New York Times that said if every person who received the newspaper switched one light bulb to a compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb, it would be the equivalent of taking 89,000 cars off the road.
5. Filling in the gapsHave you bothered to look around your attic space to see if all areas contain insulation? According to PATH, even a small area with limited or no insulation — or even insulation that has been damaged or compressed — can significantly decrease overall effectiveness. The U.S. Department of Energy says that adding insulation to the attic is relatively easy and very cost effective. To find out if you have enough attic insulation, measure the thickness of the insulation. If it is less than R-22 (7 inches of fiber glass or rock wool or 6 inches of cellulose), you could probably benefit by adding more. Most U.S. homes should have between R-22 and R-49 insulation in the attic.
An "energy audit" may cost you anywhere from $159 to $359, according to McClure, but PATH figures that you can recoup the cost of the inspection in about a year by implementing the recommendations the audits can provide. Try PATH for a list of inspectors in your area.

FOREX EDUCATION | FOREX TRAINING

2009-03-05T03:59:00.000-08:00

Do you have what it takes to become a successful Forex Trader?Forex trading, or any trading for that matter, is an occupation that requires experience and the accumulation of proficiency not unlike any other highly skilled profession. Whether you are a leading executive at a major publically traded company, a professional golfer or trading from your kitchen table, there are 5 key ingredients that one must possess in order to become successful.1. You must be Passionate about what you do.As Forex traders we all face one unique set of circumstances that does not exist in any other profession. We get rewarded for when we succeed and equally punished when we don’t! Could you image a corporate worker ne quarter receiving a significant accomplishment bonus and the next quarter actually getting money taken from their paycheck for missing performance targets? Not on your life!We do as Forex traders and that is why passion for what you do will carry you through the tough times that are part of your trading business. Asked yourself why you trade currencies and would you still do it if Forex were not potentially lucrative? Your answers will be quite revealing. You’ve got to feel your passion for trading!2. You have to Apply Yourself and work hard at it.I talk to so many people that enter into Forex trading with the aspiration of getting rich quick. Without putting the time and energy into really getting good at trading I see them jump from strategy to strategy looking for the goose that will lay the golden egg and eventually quitting while blaming everything else, except the true cause.I got news for you you are the goose and your Forex education is the golden egg. The magic has always resided with the magician and not some strategy. Work hard at trading and the rewards will ventually come your way. Remember what Tiger Woods said, “Funny, the harder I work the luckier I get.” Apply yourself as a trader and it will be no accident when your account begins to lossom.3. You must Focus to really get good at what you do.Now here is the hurdle most Forex traders struggle to get over. You have the passion and you are applying yourself to your trade, now focus and really get good at just at what you are doing. Be the expert to the experts at just that one thing. Become the master of a strategy or risk management ethodologies. Really focus on getting good at it. Stop jumping around or getting pulled from the last “latest and greatest” into the next “latest and greatest” and focus on one aspect of forex trading and know it inside out. Know it strengths and weakness. Set your sights on becoming expert on just one aspect of trading and watch it spill over in all other aspects foryour currency trading. This is the time to fail forward fast, use every setback as a learning opportunity that will propel you 3-steps ahead!4. You must Push Yourself beyond the point everyone else might have quite.In Forex Trading this is simple. Assume there is someone on the other side of your trade that is pushing themselves and sharpening their edge. To be successful you must you must do the same thing. Now is the time to examine your mental edge. Do you know the single most critical factor in any currency trade? It is you, the trader!Sharpening you mental edge is the most difficult aspect of trading, but also the most ewarding.Start with your Forex education and gain the self-awareness necessary to maximize your strengths and suppress your weaknesses. Any expert will tell you that trading is 80% mental. It’s time to sharpen your trading to the razor’s edge and you do this through Forex education. A constant and never ending process that will become the cornerstone of your Forex experience.5. You must, without wavering, be Determined and Persist to your objective.You will fail. I can state that emphatically. However, you will not be defeated unlessyou allow your failures to control your trading. It is the old adage; failure is not falling of your horse, failure is refusing to get back on. Your success depends on your ability to dismiss the criticism, rejection, self-doubt and pressures associated with Forex trading.Defining what is a winning trade, losing trade and bad trade will go a long way into developing you as a successful trader. Without the determination and persistence in all aspects of your trading life, obstacle will definitely appear closer and larger than they actually are.Take a moment and assess yourself and your trading. Do you have the key elements to succeed? Which areas are presents development opportunities? When conducting a self-evaluation it is critical to be totally upfront and honest with yourself. After all, you will only be dishonest with yourself. One of the most interesting observations you can make is that all key success factors are interwoven. One factor supports the other. This is why your Forex education is a continuous journey of forex strategy, money management and self-mastery. Set these factors as your Forex education goals and take your currency trading to new heights.

The RTOS Motto: On Time And On Budget

2009-03-05T03:57:00.000-08:00

But is an RTOS always necessary? The answer is application-specific, so understanding what one will deliver is key to determining whether it becomes a requirement or an extravagance..
In general, an RTOS can be used anywhere a non-RTOS is employed. However, it’s rare to find an operating system with a matching RTOS that has exactly the same application programming interface (API). Many of them, though, embed an RTOS within a conventional operating system. For example, Lynux- Works LynxOS and Bluecat Linux share a Linux API. LynxOS is a hard RTOS, while Bluecat inherits its base from Linux.
Linux continues to improve its real-time performance, but its worst-case interrupt latency still doesn’t meet what would be considered hard real time for an RTOS. It all comes down to quality of service (QoS). Platforms like RTLinux Free augment Linux, providing hard real-time class QoS.
It’s important to note that this type of addition often incorporates an RTOS programming environment that’s distinct from the original operating system. An RTOS is typically small compared to a conventional desktop or server OS. They often target more smaller, resource-constrained microcontrollers. For instance, CMX’s CMX-RTX and CMX-Tiny+ can run on 8-bit MCUs up through 64-bit processors.
The increased power and memory capacity of 8-bit processors is making an RTOS more desirable for these platforms. But, an OS or RTOS is usually a requirement in 16-bit platforms and up with RTOS products like Express Logic’s ThreadX, Wind River’s VxWorks, Micrium’s uCOS-II, and Green Hills Software’s velOSity being common selections. Depending on requirements, MontaVista’s Linux meets 16- and 32-bit platform requirements in the low microsecond range.
THE RTOS CORE: SCHEDULING AND PARTITIONINGMost programmers aren’t familiar with RTOS constraints and requirements. Most usually opt for an RTOS due to its performance. Most RTOS products are small and fast, yet an RTOS also adds consistency. Beyond the fact that an RTOS gets the job done quickly, it can guarantee a job will get done.
In many applications, a late result can be catastrophic. Thus, a poor result within the proper timeframe is preferable. These applications are generally called hard real-time systems. Hard real time doesn’t indicate how fast the system may be or how quickly a system may respond. Rather, it refers to how reliably a system can meet the specified requirements.
A hard real-time system may have a fixed cycle time of one minute with a response time of one second. In theory, it’s something almost any operating system could handle. This isn’t always the case, though, as anyone can attest to when waiting for a desktop application to respond within a minute.
Hard real-time systems typically have shorter cycle times and tighter response requirements. Faster processors always help, and multicore platforms can improve response time, too. The trick for developers is to match system requirements to the hardware and software, hence the importance of an RTOS in embedded applications.
An RTOS can implement a range of scheduling policies, and the application will often restrict a programmer’s choices (see the table). Non-preemptive scheduling is trivial to implement but useful in some applications. On the other hand, non-preemptive scheduling within a task can be implemented on top of a preemptive system.
Non-preemptive should not be overlooked, especially in light of new multicore processors. Here, hardware may be tuned to handle an event-based operation in which a thread will wait for an external event to occur. This approach is usually unsuitable for a single-core processor handling multiple threads. On multicore systems with many cores, though, it’s often typical to dedicate one core to handle one peripheral. It then makes sense to have that core idle while waiting for an event to occur.
As a result, preemptive, interrupt-driven RTOS architectures make up the majority of platforms deployed. These platforms have a range of requirements, issues, and solutions (see the figure). Interrupt latency is always an issue, although hardware— multiple register sets, hardware scheduling and task switching, and hierarchical priority interrupt systems—can significantly reduce this overhead.
Several issues coincide with preemption. Most are timing-related, like race conditions, deadlock, starvation, and priority inversion, which occurs when a low-priority task A owns a synchronization resource of a higher-priority task B, and a task C with priority higher than A is running.
Without a feature like priority ceilings, task C can prevent task A and C from running. A priority-ceiling feature changes the priority of task A to that of task C, allowing it to run and eventually release the resource needed by C. At this point, task A’s priority returns to normal and task C can run.
The other timing-related issues, which the programmer must address, are often the sources of bugs that are difficult to locate and correct. Trace tools become valuable assets in locating these kinds of bugs, since symptoms such as blocked tasks are the only indication of the problem

KYC compliance

2009-02-08T09:07:00.000-08:00

Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance regulation has proved to be one of the biggest operational challenges banks, accountants, lawyers and similar financial service providers worldwide have had to overcome.World-Check, the industry standard KYC compliance solution, provides an overview of KYC compliance and its origins, and outlines the compliance mandate as applicable to banks, accounting firms, lawyers and other regulated financial service providers – not just in the UK, Europe and the USA, but all around the world. Relied upon by more than 3,000 institutions worldwide, this KYC database solution provides effective legal and reputational risk reduction.Why “Know Your Customer?”The 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre revealed that there were sinister forces at work around the world, and that terrorists activities were being funded with laundered money, the proceeds of illicit activities such as narcotics and human trafficking, fraud and organised crime. Overnight, the combating of terrorist financing became a priority on the international agenda.For the financial services provider of the 21st century, “knowing your customers” was no longer a suggested course of action. Based on the requirements of legislative landmarks such as the USA PATRIOT Act 2002, modern Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance mandates were created to simultaneously combat money laundering and the funding of terrorist activities.What is Know Your Customer (KYC)?Know Your Customer, or KYC, refers to the regulatory compliance mandate imposed on financial service providers to implement a Customer Identification Programme and perform due diligence checks before doing business with a person or entity.KYC fulfils a risk mitigation function, and one its key requirements is checking that a prospective customer is not listed on any government lists for wanted money launders, known fraudsters or terrorists.If preliminary KYC checks reveal that the person is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP), for example, Advanced Due Diligence must be done in order to ensure that the person’s source of wealth is transparent, and that he or she does not pose a reputational or financial risk in terms of their finances, public positions or associations. Beyond customer identification checks, the ongoing monitoring of transfers and financial transactions against a range of risk variables forms an integral part of the KYC compliance mandate.But to understand the importance of KYC compliance for financial service providers better, its origins need to be examined.Origins of Know Your Customer (KYC) complianceThe arrival of the new millennium was marred by a spate of terrorist attacks and corporate scandals that unmasked the darker features of globalisation. These events highlighted the role of money laundering in cross-border crime and terrorism, and underlined the need to clamp down on the exploitation of financial systems worldwide.Know Your Customer (KYC) legislation was principally not absent prior to 9/11. Regulated financial service providers for a long time have been required to conduct due diligence and customer identification checks in order to mitigate their own operation risks, and to ensure a consistent and acceptable level of service.In essence, the USA PATRIOT Act was not so much a radical departure from prior legislation as it was a firmer and more extensive articulation of existing laws. The Act would lead to the more rigorous regulation of a greater range of financial services providers, and expanded the authority of American law enforcement agencies in the fighting of terrorism, both in the USA and abroad.In October 2001, President George W. Bush signed off the USA PATRIOT Act, effectively providing federal regulators with a new range of tools and powers for fighting terror financing and money laundering. During July 2002, the US Treasury proceeded to introduce Section 326 of the PATRIOT Act, a clause that removed some key burdens for regulators and added significant enforcement muscle to the Act.What 9/11 changed, in essence, was the extent to which existing legislation was being implemented. Using the provisions of the earlier anti-terrorism USA Act as a foundation, it included the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act, which allowed for federal jurisdiction over foreign money launders and money laundered through foreign banks. Significantly, it is this anti-terror law that would make the creation of an Anti Money Laundering (AML) programme compulsory for all financial institutions and service providers.Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act dealt specifically with the identification of new customers (“CIP regulation”), and made extensive provisions in terms of KYC and the methods employed to verify client identities.In accordance with this piece of updated KYC legislation, federal regulators would hold financial institutions accountable for the effectiveness of their initial customer identification and ongoing KYC screening. Institutions are required to keep detailed records of the steps that were taken to verify prospective clients’ identities.Although current KYC legislation does not yet demand the exclusion of specific types of foreign-issued identification, it recommends the usage of machine-verifiable identity documents. The ability to notify financial institutions if concerns regarding specific types of identification were to arise, combined with a risk-based approach to KYC, proved to provide a robust mechanism for addressing security concerns.Effectively, the risk-based approach to customer due diligence grants regulated institutions a certain degree of flexibility to determine the forms of identification they will accept, and under which conditions.KYC compliance: Implications for banks, lawyers and accounting firmsThe KYC compliance mandate, for all its positive outcomes, has burdened companies and organisations with a substantial administrative obligation. Additionally, KYC compliance increasingly entails the creation of auditable proof of due diligence activities, in addition to the need for customer

Günde 3 elma mucizesi

2008-10-11T07:42:00.001-07:00

BOLU İl Sağlık Müdürü Dursun Koç, günde yenilecek 3 elmanın kötü kolesterolü yüzde 10 oranında düşürdüğünü, iyi kolesterolü de arttırdığını söyledi.

Kabuğu ile yenen bir elmanın insanın günlük C vitamini ihtiyacını karşıladığını belirten Dr. Koç, “Elmanın içerdiği organik asitler, soda ve fosfor yardımı ile beyin, karaciğer ve mideye çok olumlu etkileri vardır” dedi. Koç, içeriğinde yüzde 85 su, yüzde 12 şeker, pektin, organik asitler, soda, fosfor, tanen, vitamin A, B1, B2, B5, B6, C, E, ve PP bulunun elmanın toksinlerin atılmasında vücuda yardımcı olduğunu açıklayarak, şöyle konuştu: “Elmanın kanı temizleyici, sindirim sistemini uyarıcı özellikleri, damar sertliği, hemoroide, egzama ve deri hastalıklarına iyi gelmektedir. Elma, kandaki kolesterolü düşürerek damar sertliğini önler.”

Elmanın idrar söktürücü özelliği olması nedeniyle böbrekleri çalıştırdığını da belirten Koç, “Elma suyu sindirim sistemini uyararak, mide mukozasını güçlendirir. Yatıştırıcı ve ateş düşürücü olarak da kullanılan elmanın suyuyla silinen cilt, taze ve canlı bir görünüme kavuşur. Açıkcası, günde 3 elma tüketiminin yüzde 10 oranında kötü kolesterol düşmesine neden olurken, iyi kolesterol oranını da arttırdığı saptanmıştır.”

Alp Daglari

2008-03-03T01:38:00.000-08:00

Kantonlardan oluşan İsviçre'nin 1834 yılından beri başkenti olan Bern; tarihi, kültürü, manzarası ve neşeli insanlarıyla hem Alpler'in kuzeyinde yer alan en saygın şehir hem de karbeyaz tatillerin vazgeçilmez merkezi.
Uzun yıllar önce dönemin hükümdarı, Aare yarımadasında ava çıktığı sırada beklenmedik büyüklükte bir ayıyı öldürünce, bu yarımadaya Bern (ayı) adı verilmiş. Meşe ormanından oluşan yarımadanın üzerine 1191 yılında bir şehir kurulumaya başlandı. Dönem dönem restore edilen ahşap evler, zamanla yerini ortaçağ binalarına bıraktı. Ortaçağ'da Alp dağlarının kuzeyinde yer alan en büyük şehir - devlet olarak itibar görmesiyle, bugün Avrupa'nın en saygın kentlerinin başında geliyor.
Dünyanın bahçesi

-->
Yarımadadan ayrılıp Alp dağlarının ters yönünde ilerlediğinizde, şehir dışına varmadan, karşınıza rengarenk botanik bahçeleri çıkıyor. Tam 200 gül çeşidinin yanı sıra İsviçre'nin Alp bitkilerinden Asya'ya ve Kuzey Amerika'ya özgü toplam 6000 özel bitki çeşidi burada bir araya getirilmiş. Hatta 'Palmenhaus'ta (palmiye evinde) muz, ananas ve kahve gibi beklenmedik bitki ve meyvelerle de karşılaşabiliyorsunuz. Eski şehir manzarasını karşınıza alıp okuma bahçesinde kendinize rahat bir yer bularak dinlenebilirsiniz.
Tarihi anlatan fıskiyeler
Yeterince dinlendikten sonra Alp dağlarına doğru şehir içinden geçerken, kentin değişik yerlerine yayılmış 100'ün üzerinde fıskiye, tasarımlarıyla insanı kendisine hayran bırakıyor. Her fıskiye, şehrin tarihinde yatan bir olayı ve kahramanını anlatıyor. Özellikle 16'ncı yüzyıldan kalma fıskiyeler, sanatsal ayrıntılarıyla şehrin ne kadar varlıklı bir geçmişi olduğunu hatırlatıyor.
Geçmişe fayton keyfi
Sokakları tertemiz ve çatıları bembeyaz bu kentin sokakları şehirlerarası trafiğe mümkün olduğunca kapalı tutulduğundan, şehri toplu taşıma araçlarıyla rahatlıkla ve eğlenerek gezmek mümkün. Uluslararası Avrupa demiryollarına direkt hattı bulunan Bern, üç hız treninin de uğradığı Avrupa'daki tek başkent. Tren garından şehrin her yönüne giden otobüslerin sıklığı sayesinde, zaman kaybetmeden yol alabilirsiniz. Şehri boydan boya gezebilmek için, tramvaya ve neşeli faytonlara binmek büyük bir keyif. Faytoncuların Alp dağlarıyla ilgili anlattıkları hikayelerin sonu yok. Gün içinde aynı faytoncuya üç defa denk gelseniz de, şüphesiz sizi üç ayrı hikayeyle karşılayabilir.
Saat kulesinin şöhreti

Merkezi fayton duraklarından biri olan ve 'Zaman çanı' olarak bilinen 'Zytglogge' (çanlı saat kulesi), 12'nci ve 13'üncü yüzyıllarda savunma amacıyla şehrin batıdaki ilk savunma kapısını oluşturmuş. Bugün Bern'in en önemli tarihi değerlerinin başında gelen Zytglogge, 1530 yılından kalma astronomik takvimi sayesinde saat görevini hatasız yerine getiriyor.
Parlamento binası ve meydanı
Meydana doğru yürürken, ortaçağ mimarisinin heybetli evlerinin yakından ne kadar büyük göründüğünü fark edebilirsiniz. Bundesplatz (Federal meydan) adındaki parlamento meydanında bulunan parlamento binasında, hem kanton yönetimi, hem de hükümet ve meclis bir arada bulunuyor. Parlamento binası 1902 yılından beri, heybetli görünümüyle Bern ziyaretçilerini büyülemeyi sürdürüyor. Merkezdeki kubbeli salonda ve oturumların yapıldığı salonların ikisinde de, İsviçre tarihini yansıtan sayısız semboller yer alıyor.
Sokakta su balesi
Parlamento binasının hemen önünde yer alan, kantonları simgeleyen düzenli dizilmiş 26 yer fıskiyesi, müzik eşliğinde muhteşem görüntüler sergiliyor. Ritime eşlik ederek göğe fışkıran fıskiyelerin bir anda çalışması, yoldan geçenleri neşelendirmeye yetiyor.
Alpler'in en etkili müzesi

Bern sırtlarına dayanan bembeyaz Alpler'e iyice yaklaşmışken, Alp dağlarını sergileyen İsviçre'de tek müze olan Alpine müzesini gezmek çok heyecan verici. Bernina dağlık bölgesinin, dünyaca ünlü Alp zirvesi Matterhorn'a ne kadar yakın olduğunuzu Alpler maketinde daha net görebiliyorsunuz.
Rüya gibi Alp dağları

Dünya kayak kültürünün merkezi olan İsviçre'de 'Yukarı Bern' diye ünlenen Alpler'in kuzey etekleri, hem kayak turizmini, hem de manzara turizmini herkese doya doya yaşatıyor. Kayak öğrenmek için buraya gelen aileler, bu doyumsuz manzara karşısında genellikle tatilini uzatmakta çok haklı. En büyük zorluk ise akşam olmadan, çocukların bu bembeyaz manzarayla isteksizce vedalaşmaları.

Dünyaca tanınmış Bernli
Bern şehri, bilim dünyasının duayeni Albert Einstein için 1900'lerin başında adeta ilham kaynağı olmuş. Einstein, 21 yaşından sonra İsviçre vatandaşı olduğunda, bilim dünyasını sarsan makalelerini yayınlamış. Bugün evi bir müzeye dönüştürülmüş Einstein'in mirası için Bernliler ayrı bir özen gösteriyor. Yakın çevresi tarafından esprileri ve neşeli kahkahası ile tanınan Einstein, izafiyet teorisini dünyaya bu şehirden duyurdu. Hümanist bir aydın olan Albert Einstein, her şeye rağmen alçakgönüllü ve kibirsiz yaşam tarzıyla her zaman Bernliler'in gurur kaynağı olmuş.
