Secured Loan

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:42:00 +0000

A secured loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset (e.g. a car or property) as collateral for the loan, which then becomes a secured debt owed to the creditor who gives the loan. The debt is thus secured against the collateral — in the event that the borrower defaults, the creditor takes possession of the asset used as collateral and may sell it to satisfy the debt by regaining the amount originally lent to the borrower. From the creditor's perspective this is a category of debt in which a lender has been granted a portion of the bundle of rights to specified property. The opposite of secured debt/loan is unsecured debt, which is not connected to any specific piece of property and instead the creditor may satisfy the debt against the borrower rather than just the borrower's collateral.

Purpose

There are two purposes for a loan secured by debt. In the first purpose, by extending the loan through securing the debt, the creditor is relieved of most of the financial risks involved because it allows the creditor to take the property in the event that the debt is not properly repaid. In exchange, this permits the second purpose where the debtors may receive loans on more favorable terms than that available for unsecured debt, or to be extended credit under circumstances when credit under terms of unsecured debt would not be extended at all. The creditor may offer a loan with attractive interest rates and repayment periods for the secured debt.

Types

A mortgage loan is a secured loan in which the collateral is property, such as a home.

A nonrecourse loan is a secured loan where the collateral is the only security or claim the creditor has against the borrower, and the creditor has no further recourse against the borrower for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure against the property.

A foreclosure is a legal process in which mortgaged property is sold to pay the debt of the defaulting borrower.

A repossession is a process in which property, such as a car, is taken back by the creditor when the borrower does not make payments due on the property. Depending on the jurisdiction, it may or may not require a court order.

Mesthelioma Treatments

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:40:00 +0000

Once an individual has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, the next step is to discuss mesothelioma treatment options with his/her physician. Recent scientific research has produced significant breakthroughs with regard to treatment protocols for mesothelioma patients and more options are now available for managing the disease and supporting improved quality of life. Newly diagnosed patients always have many questions about the treatment options that would be most effective for them, including those about new treatment therapies like Alimta® and Cisplatin and other chemotherapy drugs. In addition to these newer drugs that are being used to treat asbestos cancer, mesothelioma patients also have a number of "conventional" treatment options to consider, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. Clinical trials and experimental treatments are still other options that some mesothelioma patients may be eligible to participate in. Our site features a comprehensive mesothelioma cancer treatment section that includes important information for patients and families. We've included resources on top mesothelioma doctors such as Dr. Sugarbaker, as well as a comprehensive list of questions that you may wish to discuss with your personal physician when preparing a treatment plan. We are always providing new and informative resources regarding mesothelioma treatment including: Clinical Trials, conventional treatments, experimental therapies, and more. Check back often for the most recent advances in mesothelioma treatments

Mesothelioma

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:00:00 +0000

Mesothelioma, though rare, has had a number of notable patients. Hamilton Jordan, Chief of Staff for President Jimmy Carter and life long cancer activist, died in 2008. Australian anti-racism activist Bob Bellear died in 2005. British science fiction writer Michael G. Coney, responsible for nearly 100 works also died in 2005. American film and television actor Paul Gleason, perhaps best known for his portrayal of Principal Richard Vernon in the 1985 film The Breakfast Club, died in 2006. Mickie Most, an English record producer, died of mesothelioma in 2003. Paul Rudolph, an American architect known for his cubist building designs, died in 1997.

Bernie Banton was an Australian workers' rights activist, who fought a long battle for compensation from James Hardie after he contracted mesothelioma after working for that company. He claimed James Hardie knew of the dangers of asbestos before he began work with the substance making insulation for power stations. Mesothelioma eventually took his life along with his brothers and hundreds of James Hardie workers. James Hardie made an undisclosed settlement with Banton only when his mesothelioma had reached its final stages and he was expected to have no more than 48hrs to live. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd mentioned Banton's extended struggle in his acceptance speech after winning the 2007 Australian Federal Election.

Steve McQueen was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma on December 22, 1979. He was not offered surgery or chemotherapy because doctors felt the cancer was too advanced. McQueen sought alternative treatments from clinics in Mexico. He died of a heart attack on November 7, 1980, in Juárez, Mexico, following cancer surgery. He may have been exposed to asbestos while serving with the U.S. Marines as a young adult—asbestos was then commonly used to insulate ships' piping—or from its use as an insulating material in car racing suits.^[19] (It is also reported that he worked in a shipyard during World War II, where he might have been exposed to asbestos.^[^{citation needed}^])

United States Congressman Bruce Vento died of mesothelioma in 2000. The Bruce Vento Hopebuilder is awarded yearly by his wife at the MARF Symposium to persons or organizations who have done the most to support mesothelioma research and advocacy.

After a long period of untreated illness and pain, rock and roll musician and songwriter Warren Zevon was diagnosed with inoperable mesothelioma in the fall of 2002. Refusing treatments he believed might incapacitate him, Zevon focused his energies on recording his final album The Wind including the song "Keep Me in Your Heart," which speaks of his failing breath. Zevon died at his home in Los Angeles, California, on September 7, 2003.

Christie Hennessy, the influential Irish singer-songwriter, died of mesothelioma in 2007, and had stridently refused to accept the prognosis in the weeks before his death.^[20] His mesothelioma has been attributed to his younger years spent working on building sites in London.^[21]^[22]

Bob Miner, one of the founders of Software Development Labs, the forerunner of Oracle Corporation died of mesothelioma in 1994.

Scottish Labour MP John William MacDougall died of mesothelioma on August 13, 2008, after fighting the disease for two years.^[23]

Canberra journalist and news presenter, Peter Leonard also succumbed to the condition on 23 September 2008.

Terrence McCann Olympic gold medalist and longtime Executive Director of Toastmasters, died of mesothelioma on June 7, 2006 at his home in Dana Point, California.

DC to DC Converter (Part III)

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:16:00 +0000

In terms of efficiency, the type linier not so good, because in the process of the output penyearah derived through the linear tegangannya (linear regulator), and the difference between the incoming voltage and the voltage generated in the form of discarded heat. Due to absorption of heat (energy disposal) are in the process of linear type so that even a small efficiency. While on the type of switching, the efficiency improvement is achieved with the magnetic fields due to the difference between the output voltage inputs. Setting is associated with the storage and disposal of energy magnet, which at the time of the energy storage component in the magnet until a certain point energy, the switch that is used to send power to the load is turned off (off state), and energy storage components and magnet before taking over task switch to send the stored power to the load. When the 'savings' energy magnets are running out earlier, the switch is turned on again (on state) to take back the task of sending power to the load and simultaneously began to restore energy magnets to repeat the same process. But in this paper, we only restrict the set of converter type DC to DC, if there is information on the similarity between the series of AC to DC converter with DC to DC then can be explained with a possible general description above.

As mentioned previously, that in this paper we will only describe the converter is a DC to DC diversiform created as a means of making a project that aims to produce a converter that has inputan 50-100 Volt DC output and is 12 behind volt.latar the making of this paper is requesting a tool that has a 12 Volt output to complete a specific tool that can not be fulfilled by the tool that has a voltage that has been there.

A. DC to DC CONVERTER

Converter is a tool that contains a series of high voltage modifier into low voltage or vice versa. Changes can occur in the voltage range of DC to Dc, AC to AC, AC to DC or AC to DC. the tool is not only seen in the way of the voltage but also on the flow of power or with a certain efficiency, depending on the use of components and system design.

Modifier power DC-DC (DC-DC Converter) of the type known as the DC Chopper used for the provision of DC voltage output that varies with demand besarannya depending on load. Power input from the DC-DC is derived from the DC power source that usually has a fixed input voltage. DC voltage is generated want can be achieved with a set length of time the connection between the inputs and outputs on the same series, In general there are two functions of the operation of the DC voltage rise Chopper where the output voltage generated from the higher voltage
inputs, and decrease the output voltage where the voltage is lower than the input voltage.

A good converter is the converter output has a fixed and stable. To produce the soft output and the absence of amplitude changes in the voltage converter is limited by 100 mVpp is controlled by the capacitor and also a limited 250 mVpp is controlled by induktor. besides, the converter must be properly protected by a series of protection to avoid the occurrence of konsleting. How it works is a series of protection that is the way of achievement of specified levels of cash through pensettingan, when the buck is off converer

DC to DC Converter (Part II)

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:00:00 +0000

Both types can be described above as follows:

Type Linier Some of the functions that enter in the process of conversion AC to DC power is as follows:

Changing or Voltage Voltage, working to change the voltage electricity is available from the transmission of electricity distribution network to the desired level
Penyearah, as a modifier the direction of the voltage or AC voltage to DC
Filter or a filter, cleaning duty, as the wave of a ripple (ripple), which comes from the process penyearahan
Settings (regulation), aims to control the output voltage so that's going to be stable despite variations or changes in temperature, load, and input voltage electricity transmission network from

Ideally, the conversion to DC power has karateristik such as 100% efficiency, the output wave of a fixed (constant output) even though the faces on the variations of the transmission voltage (for DC power supply), the load current, and temperature. Other characteristics are not ideal having the terminal output Impedance (Impedance zero output) for each frequency level, and also does not have the interference (noise) and on the ripple wave output.

Figure 1 Characteristics of the ideal and practical on the modifier to the DC

Picture above shows the difference in the burden and the ripple on the output wave modifier between the ideal and the practical.

2. Switching Type (Switching) Power Supply type switching become increasingly popular pemakaiannya because this type of provision provides a DC power efficiency and intensity charged very high compared with the type linier.

Technology through the provision of DC power type switching was not a new thing. Technology is already starting to be developed around an 60-year and its use is limited to military applications and space because of the switch components are still expensive and limited ability also charged. However, due to the rapid development of technology, including solid state, making solid state switch, the second obstruction is the longer so that the reduced production of this type of switching also penetrated to the growth of industrial employment, research, education and so forth.

DC to DC Converter (Part I)

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:41:00 +0000

Many electronic devices are now found this, almost all parts of the run by one-way power source (DC). Providing DC power source, can be in the form of a battery, accumulator or power source (power supply) DC.Power supply that is used must have a clean DC output (filtered filter) and teregulasi well. In power conversion system, there are four types of processes, namely power conversion system.

AC to DC,
DC to DC,
DC to AC, and
AC to AC.

Each power conversion system has a unique application withdrawn, but in its implementation is classified into two systems, namely conversion system conversion AC to DC (DC power supply) and DC to DC (DC-DC converter).

Initially, the provision of technology to use DC power vacuum cleaner pipe (vacuum tube), which are large and dangerous because it has a high voltage. This is now in the period, technology has been providing dc power to the provision of a method that utilizes solid state technology with a smaller size and with a lower voltage so that the relatively more secure. as mentioned earlier, that the provision of DC power source is holding a very important role in the use of electronic goods, so that the equipment provider of DC power source such as power supply and DC-DC modifier DC (DC-DC converter), became one of the areas of electronic which is currently developed by technical experts of the world. Noted that the DC power supply and DC-DC converter in the world in the past year, reaching its highest level in the design to be effective and efesien.

Furthermore, the development of technology, providing DC power not only in the range of ability to reduce or increase the power capacity and reduce the physical dimension, but also on how the processing power itself. In the first method used is known by the name of linear type (linear mode).
On the system AC to DC conversion, the type characterized by the use of linear combinations of the transformer 50/60Hz then proceed with the process penyearah (rectifier), filter (filter), and finally the linier (linear regulator). Because of the frequency of 50/60Hz linear type then this is likely to generate DC power tool provider of the relatively large size, because the components used to prepare 50/60 Hz as transformers and large kapasitornya akan also. While the two types to a type known as the transition or switching (switching mode), which not only result in the provision of DC power that is much more efficient type of linear, but also relatively small and lightweight size. On the type of switching, the strategy used is to eliminate the frequency of 50/60 Hz through penyearah (rectification) directly from the input voltage, and output from penyearah is a cutting process (chopped), so the balance of a certain frequency alignment (switching frequency) high , about 20 kHz and 500 kHz, and then forwarded to a certain frequency transformer high, and then forwarded to the filter to the end of the output. Due to processing power via high frequency in the process pengconvertisasi then type swtiching produce the final product size and weight will be smaller than the type linier.

Hide Disable Remove Blogger Navbar From Your Blog

Learn how to hide,disable or remove the blogger navbar(navigation bar) from your blog.
First,let us see what blogger navbar is:

Blogger navbar allows users to easily navigate to other random blogs and it also has a feauture to search the blogs ,and mark any blog as spam.
So,now you have a clear idea of what really a blogger navbar is.So, why so many people prefer to just remove the navbar inspite of the feautures it has like search,etc.Many people think that, it spoils the look of the blog,especially if your blog has differnet subtitle layout which looks too obvious to see for a visitor.Well, let me come to the actual point on how to disable or hide your blogger navbar.

Below is the step-by-step procedure on how to do it with photos to make it easy to understand.

1.Sign in to your blogger account and click the layout button next to your blog name

2.Next,click the edit html tab as shown in the below picture.

3.Add the below html code as specified in the below picture.

4. Save the changes.

Now, you can see your blog without that navbar(this tip can only hides the navbar,it doesn't completely delete it).If you want the navbar to appear again,just remove that code and save the changes.
If you have any doubts,regarding this post,don't hesitate to ask.You can ask your doubts via comments to this post.

Add Dig Button

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:07:00 +0000

This is a step-by-step guide to automatically place a real-time Digg count and vote button to every single blog post. Digg is a social content website where your readers or you can submit content to. If you have a good story, members will 'digg' the post and write comments. As a blog owner, you may want to make it easy for and encourage your readers to submit and digg your articles.

Automatic Count and Vote Button

Before you do that though, you would want to take note of the following:-

1. Your blog should be set to save Post Pages. Post Pages are archived blog posts published to their own web page. Each post will have a unique URL, which is required by Digg for the individual posts to be submitted. To verify or enable it, login to your Blogger Dashboard. Under Settings-> Archiving, set the “Enable Post Pages?” to “Yes” and save the settings.

2. This template hack will put a Digg button to every post. You are therefore not able to choose which post you want to include or exclude a button. If you would prefer to have a Digg button added only to some posts, read the later part of this article on “Button for selective posts.”

3. The code reads the URL of the individual blog page and this shall be the URL used for submission of the story to Digg.

Under “Template”, click the “Edit HTML” tab. Block copy the entire HTML code for your site and save it in a text file. You can also click the "Download Template" link. This is one of the two necessary steps whenever you want to change the template. The second step is of course to “Preview” the new changes, and save the changes only when you are satisfied. The backup you have saved in a text file will come in handy when you accidentally click to save the changes without previewing them. With a backup, you can easily restore the template to the prior state if need be.

Click the box next to “Expand Widget Templates”. Scroll about two-thirds down the template to look for the code that reads:-

If you want the button to show at the top right corner of your post, replace the above code with this.

This is what you get:-

If you would like the button to appear at the end of your post, replace with this following code instead.

The result will be this:-

If you want to have the button at the top left corner of your post, change the alignment.

The outcome is this:-

You can change the position of this button. Go through what we discussed earlier in this article to understand where to place the code if you should want the button to be at the top of the article.

Removing Unnecessary Programs from Starting Automatically

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:55:00 +0000

Many programs add portions of themselves starting automatically on every login.
This can be either in the Startup Folder or the Registry.

One easy way to tell is by looking at how many icons are in your system tray. If you have a large number, perhaps unnecessary resources are being allocated them as well as increasing your boot time.
Typical examples are Microsoft Office, Office FindFast, Real Player, ATI Video setting etc.
You can remove them in one of three main ways:

In the Start / Programs / Startup Folder
In the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
If you have Win98, WinME or Windows2000 you can use MSCONFIG to easily remove programs. This is my preference since it allows you to toggle them back on again in case you make a mistake

CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT Files

noreply@blogger.com (Irsan Mahendra) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:54:00 +0000
