Education and Career: Series Introduction

Education and Career: Series Introduction:
In this series I will go through all the stages of a career. From high school through the decision between University (college), other higher education and a work life, choosing a degree and finally applying for jobs. Along the way I will write about getting good grades, how to learn at the different stages and how to gain professional experience and building a good resume.

The Reason that I am doing this Series

Higher education — Remember young man, your first step in the REAL WORLD is just 8 feet ahead. Best of luck !!! …item 2..Men and women both have different ways to get from A to B (2 May 2012) .. (Photo credit: marsmet471)

is because a lot of people struggle with their education and with making career choices when they don’t have to. I’m not claiming its easy, but it certainly can involve much less stress and worry when you know what you are doing.
I will publish this series instead of the cooking series I have been doing on Monday. You can find the whole series here.

Teijin Aramid pioneers in protection technology for optical fiber cables

Arnhem, The Netherlands, March 19th, 2012 – Teijin Aramid announces a new and improved way of protecting optical fiber cables: Twaron Tape. Optical fiber cables play an increasing essential role in today’s telecommunications, and their fragile cores need protection from various hazards and strains.

Optical fiber cables are getting smaller and smaller – and at the same time it becomes more difficult to protect the optical fiber core. Twaron Tape is an aramid fiber matrix construction that enables the production of optical fiber cables with a diameter as small as 1.2mm. Simultaneously, it provides three to five times better crush resistance compared to currently used aramid fiber protection.

The production of thinner cables using Twaron Tape results into several more advantages compared to current solutions. For example, the production of 1.2mm cables translates into an increased capacity for optical distribution frames of 30-50% (compared with 1.6mm cable). Furthermore, the thinner cables demand less cooling power, thereby cutting costs – and emissions – at distribution centers.

Twaron Tape D2800 is a robust and flexible patented solution that contributes to increased cable production speed, saving valuable time. Twaron’s flexibility enables quicker and more convenient installation and handling, with easier stripping and connectorization of optical fiber cables. The Tape consists of a single, spread Twaron yarn which is impregnated and fixed with a matrix material. This results in significant saving in space and enables optical fiber cables to be this thin. In order to provide complete coverage and optimal force and crush resistance, it is evenly wrapped around the core of the optical fiber cable.

Christoph Hahn, Commercial Director at Teijin Aramid: “We are one of the early pioneers of reinforcement technology for fiber-optic cables, and as this market has developed, we have gained an in-depth understanding of the market requirements. We are proud to contribute to this industry by offering our knowledge in high performance aramid fibers to our worldwide partners.”

Teijin Aramid experts will be present at Wire Düsseldorf 2012, booth 9C37, to show Twaron Tape and discuss with visitors how they could benefit from the added value of this new product.

Analysis: Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 to be United

Analysis: Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 to be United:

Microsoft will align its next major updates of Windows, both for phone and computers. Windows Phone 8 & Windows 8 will have several features and architecture in common like networking stacks, security and multimedia architecture.

It is also being reported that Windows Phone 8 will support multi-core processors, multiple screen resolutions, SD Cards and even C/ C++ programming. It is also worth noting that Windows 8 & Windows Phone 8 will both run Metro apps, hence harmonizing the user experience over various Microsoft devices and reducing the time in learning curve of the user.

In a video, Joe Belfiore, manager of Windows Phone for Microsoft, said that the intention is for developers to be able to

“re-use, by far, most of their code” when moving behind the desktop and smartphone platforms. This should also help Microsoft to seamlessly transition many of its existing PC developers to mobile, resulting in a much larger pool creating apps. (Quote Courtesy: Mobile Business Briefing)

If the unification of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 occurs as planned and some applications could be used in both platforms while others easily portable, there is no doubt that a lot of developers will be attracted to develop apps for Windows based devices and hit maximum customers by a single app. This will also support the Windows Phone marketplace which has considerably lesser apps as compared to Apple Store and Android Market.

All of it depends on Microsoft’s ability to pull off the coup and change the app marketplace forever. However, if it fails to do so, Microsoft will lose credibility and will be left far behind Google and Apple especially in battle to attain superiority in the mobile and tablet platforms.

Make Do and Mend

Make Do and Mend: If, to use current parlance, a ‘creative’ has produced some ‘content’ which you would like to ‘consume,’ shouldn’t you pay for it? Or should you simply continue to download songs and films illegally and pretend that you are a revolutionary intent on destroying the old bourgeois world of controlling intermediaries?

There is nothing new in sharing artistic work. We once copied tapes and films. Those of us who still read borrow books from one another. The P2P impulse, at first sight, might appear to be a communitarian one offering an appealing resistance to the dogma of individualism. But it leaves us with a problem.

How are the people who live by their imagination to make money in a time of romanticised theft? Is it not the moment to bring to an end the Manichean conversation about Corporate Bad Guys versus Online Good Guys? Surely the ones we should be worrying about protecting are not those who receive, promote or sell, but those who make.

Why Bloggers Rule the Roost - our latest blog for The Huffington Post UK

Why Bloggers Rule the Roost - our latest blog for The Huffington Post UK:

In The Times' Saturday magazine last weekend, new fashion editor, Laura Craik squeezed into a designer dress, climbed into a pair of towering high heels and took centre stage in her own feature. These days, she said, fashion editors don't have much choice but to get in front of the camera and model the products themselves and this is thanks largely to fashion bloggers, who, "without a budget, created their own visual content" and made their blogs "all the more compelling for it."

Editors and traditional publishing outlets have been trying to harness the power of the blog for a while now - by forcing their writers to step into the limelight, by launching their own blogs and by inviting bloggers to write for them - but brands too are actively courting bloggers in their attempt to extend and add value to their publicity.

To read the full blog, visit The Huffington Post. And do feel free to share the article on your social media pages, or use the comments section to give your own views on the subject.

The posts l provide are my views of good recipes and also are shared from a number of contacts, news and blogging services. They are not always tried and tested by me unless it states that l have cooked any myself,whereby it will be noted on the post accordingly. Please share this link http://twitter.com/ad144000hoe
