Horoscope Hang-Up: Earth Rotation Changes Zodiac Signs

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 08:17:00 +0000

If you're the type of person who relies on mysterious-sounding locations of stars to determine your personality and outcome in life, get ready to be shocked.
The field of astrology, which is concerned with horoscopes and the like, felt a major disruption from astronomers, who are concerned with actual stars and planets. The astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moon's gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars was pushed by about a month.
"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," noted Parke Kunkle, a member of the group's board. Your astrological sign is determined by the position of the sun on the day you were born, so that means everything you thought you knew about your horoscope is wrong.
It turns out that astrology has had issues from its inception. (Aside from the fact that it tries to link personality traits with positions of the stars.) Ancient Babylonians had 13 constellations, but wanted only 12, so threw out Ophuchicus, the snake holder. Libra didn't even enter the picture until the era of Julius Caesar.
According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, here is where the real signs of the Zodiac should fall. Get ready for your world to change forever.

What is Nanomedicine?

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 17:01:00 +0000

Nanomedicine

Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology. Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials.

Nanomedicine seeks to deliver a valuable set of research tools and clinically useful devices in the near future. The National Nanotechnology Initiative expects new commercial applications in the pharmaceutical industry that may include advanced drug delivery systems, new therapies, and in vivo imaging. Neuro-electronic interfaces and other nanoelectronics-based sensors are another active goal of research. Further down the line, the speculative field of molecular nanotechnology believes that cell repair machines could revolutionize medicine and the medical field.

Beautiful Message

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:23:00 +0000

A Boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.

He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its colour and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

QUESTIONS:

1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?

Scroll down...

down..

ANSWER :

The husband just said "I am with you Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiven, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY :

Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Google Body Browser

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:34:00 +0000

Google has recently demoed an interesting WebGL application called Body Browser, which lets you explore the human body just like you can explore the world in Google Earth. Now you can try Google Body Browser before it's added to Google Labs, assuming that you have a WebGL-enabled browser:

* WebGL is available, but not enabled by default in Chrome 8 (the latest stable version). Type about:flags in the address bar, click "Enable" next to "WebGL" and then click on "Restart now". Please note that this is an experimental feature in Chrome 8.
* WebGL is enabled by default in Chrome 9 Beta, Chrome 9 Dev Channel, Chrome Canary Build and Firefox 4 beta.

Damon Hernandez was surprised to notice that the application doesn't require a plugin. "Unlike other web based medical applications I have seen, no Flash, Java, or other plugins are needed. This application will run on any WebGL supported browser. Last year I got the opportunity to work on an open standards based web3D medical app for learning the bones of the body. After witnessing how that app really helped students learn the bones, I am sold on using web3D for medical education."

Continuous ECG Monitoring on an Android Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 07:50:00 +0000

Imec, an electronics research institute out of Leuven, Belgium, has teamed up with the R&D Holst Centre and TASS, a software company out of Augusta, Kansas, to create a mobile and wearable ECG system based around an Android smartphone. It looks like the major achievement was overcoming the power hungry nature of Bluetooth, which was achieved by using a totally different, low power transmission system. Relying on less power should allow for longer continuous monitoring sessions while the patient is going about his day.
From the press release:

The interface is based on a standard Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) interface on Android mobile phones, enabling the integration of all the features available on Google’s operating system (SMS, e-mail and data transmission over the internet, GPS to track user location). Moreover, the mobile phone’s hardware is extended to operate with low-power communication protocols and low-power radios, enabling long-term medical telemonitoring. As the interface is based on the Linux kernel, the system is also easily portable on other Linux-based devices, such as PDA’s or laptops. And, the system allows configuration of thresholds on the measured parameters and automatic sending of alerts such as SMS messages and e-mails based on these values.

Oracle: Basic Performance Tuning

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 10:57:00 +0000

This is a one page list of simple guidelines to tune SQL without much DBA knowledge.
This is all you need to know to tune some reports from 2 hours (or more) to 20 seconds (or less). I have compiled this list during a report tuning assignment
where I achieved that kind of runtime improvements repeatedly.
There are many more tips but they tend to be more difficult to understand and there are many good books already written about this.

Understand the data. Look around table structures and data. Get a feel for the data model and how to navigate it.
If a view joins 3 extra tables to retrieve data that you do not need, don't use the view!
When joining 2 views that themselves select from other views, check that the 2 views that you are using do not join the same tables!
Avoid multiple layers of view. For example, look for queries based on views that are themselves views. It may be desirable to encapsulate from a development point of view. But from a performance point of view, you loose control and understanding of exactly how much task loading your query will generate for the system.
Look for tables/views that add no value to the query. Try to remove table joins by getting the data from another table in the join.
WHERE EXISTS sub-queries can be better than join if can you reduce drastically the number of records in driver query. Otherwise, join is better.
WHERE EXISTS can be better than join when driving from parent records and want to make sure that at least on child exists. Optimizer knows to bail out as soon as finds one record. Join would get all records and then distinct them!
In reports, most of the time fewer queries will work faster. Each query results in a cursor that Reports has to open and fetch. See Reports Ref Manual for exceptions.
Avoid NOT in or NOT = on indexed columns. They prevent the optimizer from using indexes. Use where amount > 0 instead of where amount != 0.
Avoid writing where project_category is not null. nulls can prevent the optimizer from using an index.
Consider using IN or UNION in place of OR on indexed columns. ORs on indexed columns causes the optimizer to perform a full table scan.
Avoid calculations on indexed columns. Write WHERE approved_amt > 26000/3 instead of WHERE approved_amt/3 > 26000.
Avoid this: SUBSTR(haou.attribute1,1,LENGTH(':p_otc')) = :p_otc). Consider this: WHERE haou.attribute1 like :p_otc||'%'
Talk to your DBA. If you think that a column used in a WHERE clause should have an index, don't assume that an index was defined. Check and talk to your DBA if you don't find any.
Consider replacing outer joins on indexed columns with UNIONs. A nested loop outer takes more time than a nested loop unioned with another table access by index.
Consider adding small frequently accessed columns (not frequently updated) to an existing index. This will enable some queries to work only with the index, not the table.
Consider NOT EXISTS instead of NOT IN.
If a query is going to read most of the records in a table (more than 60%), use a full table scan.
Try to group multiple sub queries into one.

Beyond the Simple stuff ...

If you want to actually understand what you are doing, here are a few things that you need to start playing with:
Get into EXPLAIN_PLAN. There are multiple way of doing this. The less user friendly is to simply issue this in SQL*Plus: explain plan set statement_id = 'HDD1' for ;
Look at the trace from Oracle Reports. It tells you how much time it spends on each query. With r25: C:\ORANT\BIN\R25RUN32.EXE module=p:\old\bcmtrka1_hdd.rdf userid=opps/opps@new tracefile=p:\trace3.txt trace_opts=(trace_all)
Use the SQL Trace by issuing an alter session set sql_trace=true; then look at it with TKPROF .trc .lis sort=(EXECPU).

If you remember nothing else ...

Don't apply these guidelines blindly, EXPERIMENT: compare one method to another. Do NOT expect that one trick will work all the time.
Educate yourself: read, read, read. It SAVES time!

2010 in photos: BP and climate disasters

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 08:16:00 +0000

OILPOCALYPSE: The growing oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico is captured in this image from NASA’s (MODIS) instrument aboard the Terra satellite. This natural-color image acquired April 29, 2010 shows a twisting patch of oil nearly 125 km (78 mi) wide. Approximately 4 million barrels (170 million gallons) were released overall. (NASA Earth Observatory/Jesse Allen/University of Wisconsin SSEC)

The headlines of 2010 were driven by fossil fuel disasters — involving the dangers of extraction or the biblical might of the climate they have polluted. Hundreds of thousands of people died in climate disasters, and hundreds of millions more affected by floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires. Below is a small selection of the most striking and iconic news photography of 2010, from the BP disaster to the Pakistan floods, from Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson.
Meanwhile, polluters successfully blocked enactment of climate policy or oil industry regulation in the United States, as the Obama administration advanced health care reform and other legislative priorities.

What is the difference between Linux and Unix?

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 10:40:00 +0000

Linux and Unix

Unix is popular operating system, developed by AT&T in 1969 and it has been very important to the development of the Internet. It is a multi-processing, multi-user, family of operating systems that run on a variety of architechtures. UNIX allows more than one user to access a computer system at the same time.
A widely used Open Source Unix-like operating system kernel. Linux was first released by its inventor Linus Torvalds in 1991. Combining the Linux kernel with the GNU software forms the basis of the operating system family generally known as 'Linux'. There are distributions of GNU/Linux for almost every available type of computer hardware from desktop machines to IBM mainframes. The inner workings of GNU/Linux are open and available for anyone to examine and change as long as they make their changes available to the public, as set out in the terms of the GNU General Public License. Because of its robustness and availability, Linux has won popularity in the Open Source community as well as among commercial application developers.
Here is more input:

Unix requires a more powerful hardware configuration. It will work in large mainframe computers but will not work in an x86 based personal computer. Linux however, (which is built on the concept of Unix) has small hardware requirements and it will work on both a large mainframe computer and an x86 based personal computer.

Unix is an Operating System developed in olden days in which the kernel, the heart of the OS, interacts directly with the hardware. (note: this is the definition of what a kernel is). Because UNIX treats everything as a file, it provides greater security for users. An example of a UNIX distribution is posix. (note: actually POSIX is a set of standards for interoperability of applications between UNIX and UNIX-like systems). Linux uses a the UNIX architecture as its basis and provides more facilities and applications. Linux could be considered to be a GUI to the UNIX core. (note: this is plain wrong. GNU/ Linux was rewritten from scratch using UNIX as a guide. GNOME and KDE are GUIs for GNU/Linux). Examples of Linux distributions are Redhat, Fedora, Susee, Mandriva, and Ubuntu. Solaris OS also uses the UNIX kernal almost all UNIX commands will work on solaris in addition to 500 Solaris specific commands. (note: Solaris is also a rewrite of UNIX for x86, and does not use any original UNIX code). Both UNIX and LINUX are Open source. (note: UNIX is proprietary, Linux is open source)

Unix is the foundation for a number of operating systems, with Linux being the most popular one. Novell and Free BSD are 2 other commonly used Unix varients.(note: Again, the BSD family are based on another rewrite of UNIX for x86, UNIX is not their foundation in the sense implied here)

UNIX is an operating system created in the early days of computers. More recently, Linux was created as an open-source, freeware operating system. (note: Linux is free software, not freeware. Free software is open source that insists any developer reusing code releases their own work as free software. Freeware is proprietary software distributed at no cost [gratis]) It is "UNIX-LIKE", meaning that it uses many UNIX constructs but also departs from traditional UNIX in many ways. Like UNIX, Linux is faster than many of the other commercially available operating systems. (note: This is a sweeping generalization and depends on the hardware used, and what servers and applications are running) It appears to also be far more robust than any of the Microsoft products. Linux is being used in many time critical applications because of it's speed. It is also used in many applications that need to maintain uptime because Linux, like UNIX, can run for months at a time without rebooting. While the typical method of solving Microsoft problems is to "reboot", that particular requirement does not seem to be appropriate in a Linux/Unix environment. While UNIX has created a windows-like work environment, Linux has improved greatly on that concept. Linux has become a real player in the consumer operating system market... and it's free. While you may want to pay for a Linux distribution, the actual code is free and you are allowed to load it on as many machines as you want. You can get Linux for free if you wish to load it across the internet.

Some other way to express difference

Unix :

A Operating System developed in olden days in which kernel interacts directly with the hardware.kernal is consider to be heart of this os.
In this Operating system everything is considered as a file,provides greater security.
Ex: posix

Linux :

Linux is an Operating system which use unix as its base and gives further more facilities and applications.
Merely speeking GUI is made in linux having unix as its core.
Ex: Redhat, Fedora, Susee, Mandrake . . .
Solaris OS also using the same unix kernal all the unix commands will work on solaris and have 500 more solaris specific commands. Differnent organizations used the UNIX kernal and added their own essence to form their own version of linux.
Both UNIX and LINUX are Open source

What Is GPRS and How GPRS Works? (GPS vs GPRS)

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 07:42:00 +0000

This article will discuss the technology behind GPRS to help give you a better understanding on how GPRS works.

GPS vs GPRS

GPS and GPRS are far different when it comes to functionality even though there's only one letter that differ. As a technology, GPS stands for Global Positioning System which can track different sites on Earth as it receives data from satellites, while GPRS connects with the cell sites for signals to provide service for cellular phones.

So what does GPRS stands for?

What is GPRS?

GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. It is a non-voice wireless Internet technology that is very popular due to the fact that it can support both phone calls and Internet data transmission. Some GSM, or Global System for Mobile Communications, mobile phones can even handle both phone communication and Internet access at the same time. It transmits data packets on GSM systems where cell phone channels are shared.

How Does GPRS Work?

In GSM cell phone systems, there will always be idle radio capacity. This is the capacity of a network provider that is not being used and it stays unused until other cell phone users decide to make phone calls. GPRS uses this idle radio capacity to establish a data network to be used for data transmission. If a network provider's idle radio capacity decreases, which means a lot of phone calls are being serviced, data transmission and speed decreases as well. Cell phone calls have a higher priority than Internet data transmission in cell phone network providers.

Packets

Due to its packet-based nature, which means it transmits data as a series of data packets routed through multiple paths across a GSM network, GPRS does not require a network to have continuous data transmission. This data transmission can share network radio channels easily and efficiently. These network radio channels have 8 time slots each and their maximum data transmission is 13.4 kbps. Every time slot that is not being used can be used by GPRS to transmit data packets. In a best case scenario, user can experience a GPRS data rate of approximately 170 kbps per network radio channel. In this scenario, only data transmissions are using the network channels without voice calls hogging the network.

Radio Channels

A GSM radio transceiver uses time division multiplexing to make 8 time slots possible for each radio channel. These channels are used by cell phone users for voice calls and data transmission in maximum effect if conditions are right like if there is no interference from nearby GSM cell towers, there are enough radio transceivers and there is a strong radio infrastructure. GPRS uses idle capacity in these radio channel time slots to accommodate data transmission.

How Does GPRS Work to Optimize Bandwidth?

When multiple channels are being used by voiced calls, GPRS combines these channels to make use of the unused capacity. This joining of multiple voice channels gives users higher bandwidth for data connections. The number of channels and the amount of capacity of a cell phone network remains the same but the bandwidth can now be allowed to reach its full potential by servicing both voice calls and data transmission all at the same time using the same channels.

GPRS technology is an elegant solution for network providers to offer additional services with minimal effort. Cell phone network providers only need to set up a few new infrastructure nodes plus some software upgrades while still using their existing GSM network infrastructure to add an overlay GPRS network to their cell phone service.

We just discovered that Insignia is about to release a GPS child tracking device called Insignia Little Buddy. It is already up on Best Buy’s site but it has a “coming soon” status right now. However we at least know it is going to cost $100.
It seems like it supports real time GPS tracking but we have no information on what the monthly cost is going to be or which provider Best Buy decided to go with.
The Insignia GPS child tracker will have an accompanying website to keep track of your kids – and have an idea where they should be based on a weekly schedule.
Find a way to attach this to the car charger and you’ve got yourself a GPS vehicle tracking device.

Google Audio music download store coming October 28th?

It seems the rift between Google and Apple is growing; after the latter made moves to supply its own mapping technologies for the iPhone and iPod touch, Google now looks set to kick off its own music service to rival iTunes. According to TechCrunch’s sources, the so-called Google Audio service will launch on October 28th, and offer US users both access to streaming media together with purchase/download links.

Google’s partners in the venture are tipped to be LaLa and iLike, the latter of which was recently acquired by MySpace. The social networking site has streaming rights agreements with all four of the major music labels, all of whom would probably love another opportunity to persuade people to buy tracks rather than listen to them online.

Simple Steps to Control Anger in Your Everyday Life

noreply@blogger.com (Max Bar) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:30:00 +0000

These steps have helped a lot with anger issues and hope they will help you as well.

Step 1 - Walk away.

The first thing and possibly one of the most difficult is learning to walk away. Many times we give in our our urge to fight before we have time to think through what we are going to say or do. Walking away will give you time to cool off and think about if what happened is worth your time even worrying about. If it turns out to be worth your time you will now have time to think about the next step in your action plan.

Step 2 - Communicate using "I" phrases.

Once you have decided that you are going to do something, communicating correctly is extremely important. When you talk about what happened make sure you start your sentences with "I" instead of "You." Using "You" to start your sentences comes across to the other person as attacking them personally and once they think you are attacking them they will automatically be put on defense. Once the other person is on defense you have lost them because they will not be listening to what you have to say, but only thinking of ways to defend themselves against your attacks.

Step 3 - Listen correctly.

During your conversation make sure that you are listening to the other person because chances are their points are just as valid as yours. Don't interrupt and repeat what the other person had to say back to them once they are done speaking. This way both of you know that you understood them; after you are done repeating them ask the other person to repeat what you had to say as well to make sure they understood you.

Step 4 - Forgive.

This is the most important step of them all. Once you have the air cleared forgive the other person for what they did. You need to do this in order to move on with your day and your life without any excess baggage being carried on your shoulders. If you allow the baggage to stay you will more than likely direct your anger at the other person. Even worse, you may direct this anger towards someone that is totally undeserving of it.
