POEM OF LOVE (^_^)

WILL YOU EVER?
 I don't think you will
ever fully understand
how you've touched my life
and made me who I am. I don't think you could ever know
just how truly special you are
that even on the darkest nights
you are my brightest star.
I don't think you will ever fully comprehend
how you've made my dreams come true
or how you've opened my heart
to love and the wonders it can do.
You've allowed me to experience
something very hard to find
unconditional love that exists in my body, soul, and mind.
I don't think you could ever feel
all the love I have to give
and I'm sure you'll never realize
you've been my will to live.
You are an amazing person
and without you I don't know where I'd be.
Having you in my life
completes and fulfills every part of me.

BEST FRIEND (^_^)

Are You My Friend?

"Here's my friendship poetry effort. I'm new to this writing lark so forgive me if it's quite simplistic. I'd be delighted to have you put this on your friendship page."

ARE YOU MY FRIEND?

Will you be there when I'm down,
And catch me when I fall?
Will you hold me when I need
To feel the warmth of your touch?

Will you laugh when I laugh,
And cry when I cry?
Will you let me rant and rave,
When I need to let off steam?

Will you discuss those painful things,
That you'd rather not think about?
Like the times we've hurt each other,
And promised would never do so again?

Will you say the right thing,
When all I've heard is the wrong?
And tell me soothing words,
That make the pain I feel subside?

Will you understand me when I say,
"I can't see you now, go away"?
Will you come back when I call,
As if nothing happened at all?

If you'll do these things for me,
And keep smiling all the way.
If you'll be with me through the bad times,
As well as the good.

Then truly you are my friend,
My pal, my mate and my confidante.
And that means so much to me.
I thank you dearly, for being there,
You, My Friend.

7 TIPS UNTUK MENGHILANGKAN STRESS (^_^)

Stres dalam kesehatan dikenal sebagai pencetus sederet penyakit-penyakit degeneratif. Tidak sedikit bagaimana beragam penelitian mengemukakan terdapat hubungan erat antara stres dengan kolesterol, hipertensi, pola tidur, pola makan yang mengakibatkan diabetes dan lainnya. Oleh karena itu penting sekali bagi kita untuk menjaga diri guna senantiasa terjauh dari stres. Simaklah beberapa 7 tips bebas stres berikut ini:

1. Meditasi

Meditasi merupakan cara yang sangat baik untuk menghilangkan stres. Ada 3 cara cepat untuk memulai meditasi yaitu:

5. Kontak Fisik

Sentuhan dapat menjadi penenang yang ampuh. Saat sedang stres coba datangi pasangan atau keluarga ataupun binatang peliharaan Anda dan mintalah pelukan. Rasakan energi hangat mereka karena dengan demikian dapat menghilangkan segala kecemasan.

6. Menulis & Melukis

Keluarkan kertas dan pulpen serta hembuskan nafas yang dalam. Tuliskan segala kecemasan Anda di kertas. Coba tulis mengenai dilema Anda, dan segala bentuk frustasi Anda ke dalam kertas. Jika Anda gemar melukis dan menggambar, tuangkanlah perasaan Anda ke karya Anda.

7. Hobi

Kuncinya adalah untuk menyibukkan pikiran Anda dengan hobi atau kegiatan yang dapat menyenangkan Anda. Coba latih sebuah kegiatan yang Anda senangi sehingga saat Anda stres kegiatan tersebut dapat dilakukan.

PART 3 : COMPUTER MATCHING AGREEMENTS

The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988

 (the Act), Pub.L.100-503, amends the Privacy Act of 1974, and establishes procedural safeguards affecting agencies' use of Privacy Act records in performing certain types of computerized matching programs. The Act regulates the use of computer matching by Federal agencies involving personally identifiable records maintained in a system of records subject to the Privacy Act. The Act requires agencies to have written agreements in place specifying the terms under which matches are to be conducted. The Act applies to the computerized comparison of two or more automated systems of records (or Federal personnel or payroll systems of records) between Federal agencies or between a Federal agency and a non-Federal agency when:

1. establishing or verifying eligibility or continuing compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements of applicants or recipients or beneficiaries, or
2. recouping payments on delinquent debts under Federal benefits programs. The Act does not apply to matches that produce aggregate statistical data without any personal identifiers; research or statistical project data that do not concern the rights, benefits, or privileges of an individual; or to certain activities involving matches of tax information or the enforcement of criminal laws.

PART 2 : DISADVANTAGE OF USING SEARCH ENGINE

There are two (2) disadvantages of using search engine :

1. Regardless of the growing sophistication, many well thought-out search phrases produce list after list of irrelevant web pages. The typical search still requires sifting through dirt to find the gems. 
2. Using search engines does involve a learning curve. Many beginning Internet users, because of these disadvantages, become discouraged and frustrated.

PART 2 : ADVANTAGES OF USING SEARCH ENGINE

There are three very compelling advantages of most search engines. 

1. The indexes of search engines are usually vast, representing significant portions of the Internet, offering a wide variety and quantity of information resources. 
2. The growing sophistication of search engine software enables us to precisely describe the information that we seek. 
3. The large number and variety of search engines enriches the Internet, making it at least appear to be organized.

PART 3 : WHAT IS COMPUTER MATCHING??

Computer matching is one part of the process necessary to obtain an appointment to most DIs. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has contracted with D&D Digital Systems to facilitate matching through a computerized process. An applicant is "matched" with the highest ranked program that offers the applicant a position. In this way, computer matching helps applicants to obtain a position in the DI of their choice and helps DI programs obtain the applicants of their choice.  It eliminates premature decisions by programs about applicants and acceptance at multiple programs by applicants. Computer matching occurs using the applicant's prioritized list and the programs' prioritized lists until all possible matches are complete. There is a fee for computer matching that must be submitted at the time you register for the match online with D&D Digital Systems. The process is explained in detail in the "Instructions to Applicants" booklet provided by D&D Digital Systems.

PART 2 : IMPORTANCE OF SEARCH ENGINE

Search engines are the foundation of the Internet. Most users will turn to a search engine as the quickest way of finding the information, or product that they want.

Even well known brands still find that at least 30% of their visitors come via a search engine, rather than typing in the website address of the individual brand. The more obscure your product is, or the less well known your brand is, the more likely it is that you will need to rely on appearing in the search engine results to attract visitors to your site. 

 The problem is everyone, including your competitors, wants to be top of the list, especially given the number of products that are searched on everyday. Below are some guidelines which can increase the number of visitors to your site.

 1) Your website

 • Unless you really need a splash page or Flash to get over key information, you should avoid them as the opening page to your site, because search engines will ignore them and probably the rest of your site as well.

 • Lack of content. Search engines work by text and repetition. Minimal text and lots of images may look pretty but search engines may not like it. If you need all the images and a minimal look – keep the text in but put it elsewhere in the site, on an FAQ or library section maybe. 

 2) Paying to get to the top of search engine results 

 Known as pay per click advertising, most search engines now offer advertising at the top of search results based on keywords typed in by the user. The more exact you can be with the types of keywords used, the better your results will be. Avoid generic terms such as travel as this often cost more, as you are competing against so many others. You may get lots of traffic, but not quality visitors. Instead, go for keywords that are as close to your product or information as possible. This should lower your cost per click, as there will be less competition. Although the number of visitors may be lower, they are more likely to be the ones who are interested in your site. You can allocate a budget upfront and then state the number of rankings you wish to appear in everyday, giving you complete control over your budget. This will allow you to experiment with different keywords and also to track which search engines return the best results for you. 

 3) Dynamic websites 

 Many sites are now dynamically generated, built from a database. You may be able to tell if a site is dynamic by looking for a “?=id” or similar in the url at the top of your browser.

 If your site is one of these dynamic or active sites you probably have a problem. Search engines may not see your whole site. Instead they may only visit the home page. 

 It is not insurmountable, some very clever programming has been developed which allows search engines to read your active pages and genuinely “spider” the entire site.

 In tests this has led to increases in traffic by 1000%, on a small site that could mean going from 70 hits a day to 700, or orders increasing from 10 a day to 100.

PART 2 : WHAT IS SEARCH ENGINE??

Search engines are programs that search documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. A search engine is really a general class of programs, however, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Google, Bing and Yahoo! Search that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web.Web Search Engines

Typically, Web search engines work by sending out a spider to fetch as many documents as possible. Another program, called anindexer, then reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document. Each search engine uses a algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally, only meaningful results are returned for each query.

PART 1 : HOW 3 WAYS TO CONNECT COAXIAL CABLE

Coaxial cable is any cable that has an inner wire shielded with an outer conductive sheath by a dielectric (non-conductive) material. Here's a look at how to attach your own connectors to cable TV coaxial cable.

Method 1 of 3: Initial Steps

1. 
   1
   Determine your cable size. Cable terminology can be confusing. Look on the side of your coaxial wire for the size designation. In most homes, the two most common sizes are RG-6 and RG-59.
   
   
   • RG stands for "Radio Guide." The numbers of the various versions of RG cable refer to the diameter (59 meaning .059, and 6 meaning .06, etc) and internal characteristics of the cable, including the amount of shielding and the cable's attenuation, which refers to how much signal loss there is per length of cable.
   • You may also see the term RF used with these cables, which stands for "Radio Frequency."
   • Most non-industrial coaxial cable is now known as RG-6, although the previous thinner lower-quality standard of RG-59 is still used in some applications and older homes. Commercial installers may use a thicker RG cable, like RG-11(which is only used if the distance from the source tap to your point of termination at the home is greater than 200 feet)
   • RG cables used in homes for ordinary purposes should be 75 ohm (RG-6 or RG-59).
   • Be aware that all cables (and their connectors) come in a variety of qualities. Get the best quality cable you can.

2. 
   2
   Choose the right connectors. Most connectors for home video installations are made with F-Style connectors. However, it is possible your system uses N-type connectors.
   • Be aware that there are several types of F-type RG-6 cable available, primarily screw-on and crimp-style connectors.
     • Screw-on connectors are easy to use, but are less secure and can leave a small air pocket. Some people believe this may affect your signal quality.
     • Crimp-style connectors have two parts: a ring (or crimp) and a terminator. They are typically more difficult to install, but can attain the greatest lengths and best connections when used correctly.
   • Know that to make a connection you will need a male and a female connector of the same type.
     • Male connectors have the center wire sticking out, while female connectors have a space for the center wire to stick into. Be sure to use the opposite gender to the connector you will be making. Most cables end in male connectors.
   • Use an SMA (sub-miniature Version A) connector for very small coaxial cable.

The first step to attaching your own connector is to prepare the end of the coaxial cable.

1. 
   1
   Cut the cable flush.
2. 
   2
   Trim the outer cover (usually black rubber) back 1/2".
   
   
   
   • Be very careful not to cut into the metal braiding directly beneath the outer housing. The braiding may be both "loose" wire and a foil-like metal present in shielded wire.
3. 
   3
   Carefully pull back the inner braiding (second channel) outside the outer cover. Check to make sure none of the braided wire gets wrapped around or touches the copper center conductor.
4. 
   4
   Trim back the (usually white, but may be clear) dielectric plastic from the inner core cable.
   • Be absolutely sure not to scratch or nick the center conductor. Any damage to this conductor can severely impact your signal.
5. 
   5
   Push the connector down over the cable end so that the copper core of the coaxial cable sticks out.
   
   
   • Be sure the dielectric (aluminum foil) is trimmed so that it does not enter into the terminator of the connector.
6. 
   6
   Screw the connector into the end of the cable. The thread will cut into the outer housing and wrap the shielding weave, making a tight fit.

Method 3 of 3: Using A Crimp-Style Connector

This is another method which can be used to connect coaxial cable connectors.

1. 
   1
   Place the crimp ring over the cable end.
2. 
   2
   Trim the outer cover back about 1/4".
3. 
   3
   Trim the shielding, wire wrap and dielectric back to the bare inner wire.
4. 
   4
   Leave about 1/8" of dielectric.
5. 
   5
   Place the terminator over the end of the wire so the copper core sticks out through the hole.
6. 
   6
   Push the crimp-style connector down into the cable end so that the tube of the connector goes between the foil and the outer housing.
   
   
   • This can be very difficult to do. Try holding the cable end with a pair of pliers, or clamping it in a vice. Try not to twist when pushing down.
7. 
   7
   Crimp the ring around the outside of the cable.
8. 
   8
   Trim any loose wires.
9. 
   9
   Cut the inner core wire flush with the end of the connector.
10. 
    10
    Tug on the connector to make sure it is attached.

PART 1 : ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF COAXIAL CABLE??

Coaxial cable is still the most common means of data transmission over short distances. The advantages are: - they are cheap to make - cheap to install - easy to modify - good bandwith - great channel capacity - noise immunity due to low error rate
The advantages of using coax include the following:Broadband system Coax has a sufficient frequency range to support multiple channels, which allows for much greater throughput. Greater channel capacity Each of the multiple channels offers substantial capacity. The capacity depends on where you are in the world. In the North American system, each channel in the cable TV system is 6MHz wide, according to the National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) standard. In Europe, with the Phase Alternate Line (PAL) standard, the channels are 8MHz wide. Within one of these channels, you can provision high-speed Internet access-that's how cable modems operate. But that one channel is now being shared by everyone using that coax from that neighborhood node, which can range from 200 to 2,000 homes. Greater bandwidth Compared to twisted-pair, coax provides greater bandwidth system wide, and it also offers greater bandwidth for each channel. Because it has greater bandwidth per channel, it supports a mixed range of services. Voice, data, and even video and multimedia can benefit from the enhanced capacity. Lower error rates Because the inner conductor is in a Faraday shield, noise immunity is improved, and coax has lower error rates and therefore slightly better performance than twisted-pair. The error rate is generally 10-9 (i.e., 1 in 1 billion) bps. Greater spacing between amplifiers Coax's cable shielding reduces noise and cross talk, which means amplifiers can be spaced farther apart than with twisted-pair.
 The main disadvantages of using coax are as follows:Problems with the deployment architecture The bus topology in which coax is deployed is susceptible to congestion, noise, and security risks. Bidirectional upgrade required In countries that have a history of cable TV, the cable systems were designed for broadcasting, not for interactive communications. Before they can offer to the subscriber any form of two-way services, those networks have to be upgraded to bidirectional systems. Great noise The return path has some noise problems, and the end equipment requires added intelligence to take care of error control. High installation costs Installation costs in the local environment are high. Susceptible to damage from lightning strikes Coax may be damaged by lightning strikes. People who live in an area with a lot of lightning strikes must be wary because if that lightning is conducted by a coax, it could very well fry the equipment at the end of it.

PART 1 : WHAT IS COAXIAL CABLE???

Coaxial cable is the kind of copper cable used by cable TV companies between the community antenna and user homes and businesses.  Coaxial cable is called "coaxial" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded (after a layer of insulation) by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis. The outer channel serves as a ground. Many of these cables or pairs of coaxial tubes can be placed in a single outer sheathing and, with repeaters, can carry information for a great distance.
Coaxial cable was invented in 1880 by English engineer and mathematician Oliver Heaviside, who patented the invention and design that same year.  AT&T established its first cross-continental coaxial transmission system in 1940. Coaxial cable is sometimes used by telephone companies from their central office to the telephone poles near users. It is also widely installed for use in business and corporationEthernet and other types of local area network. Depending upon the carrier's technology and other factors, twisted pair copper wire and optical fiber may be used instead of coaxial cable.
