Changing the Mobile Development Landscape

Existing mobile development platforms have created an aura of exclusivity around mobile development.
Whether by design or as a side-effect of the cost or complexity involved in developing native applications, most mobile phones will remain nearly identical to what they were when fi rst unwrapped.
In contrast, Android allows, even encourages, radical change. As consumer devices, Android hand sets ship with a core set of standard applications that consumers demand on a new phone, but the real power lies in the ability for users to completely change how their device looks, feels, and functions.

Android gives developers a great opportunity. All Android applications are a native part of the phone, not just software that’s run in a sandbox on top of it. Rather than writing small-screen versions of software that can be run on low-power devices, you can now write mobile applications that change the way people use their phones.
While Android will still have to compete with existing and future mobile development platforms as an open source developer framework, the strength of use of the development environment is strongly in its favor. Certainly its free and open approach to mobile application development, with total access to the phone’s resources, is a giant step in the right direction.
Each Android application runs in a separate process within its own Dalvik instance, relinquishing all responsibility for memory and process management to the Android run time, which stops and kills processes as necessary to manage resources.
Dalvik and the Android run time sit on top of a Linux kernel that handles low-level hardware interaction including drivers and memory management, while a set of APIs provides access to all of the underlying services, features, and hardware.

The key skills required by staff

The technical skills required by staff to perform their duties varies with the nature of the
specific job. However, there seems to be common agreement throughout the sector concerning some generic skills which, it is believed, are required by most, if not all, of those who work in business tourism.
Rogers (1998) analysed a range of jobs in the UK to see what skills were required.
Common themes throughout the advertisements included:
interpersonal skills
communication skills, in both oral and written communication
attention to detail
ability to work under pressure
analytical skills.

Given the changing nature of business tourism, there are clearly two other sets of skills that will become increasingly important:
1 The ability to speak foreign languages.
As globalization develops, more business tourism events and individual business trips will take place across national and cultural boundaries. A survey of the UK conference and incentive travel agencies in 1999–2000 found that 39 per cent of staff questioned had no language skills. Of those who did, 47 per cent spoke French and 8 per cent could speak more than three languages. However, as the geography of business tourism changes, the demand may well be for people who can speak the language of the growing business tourism markets such as Russia, China, and India.
2 Technology skills.
The industry is heavily dependent on different types of technologies and therefore requires staff skilled in the use of these technologies, which include:
(a) video- and satellite-conferencing
(b) audiovisual equipment and special effects equipment used in conference production and product launches
(c) Internet marketing
(d) computer reservations systems and global distribution systems.
As we will see in the next section, staff generally have to develop these skills though experience as the industry has not yet developed, in general, a comprehensive, sophisticated system of training and education provision.

[Forex] Credit risk, what state of position in forex ?

Credit risk refers to the possibility that an outstanding currency position may not be repaid as

agreed, due to a voluntary or involuntary action by a counter party. In these cases, trading occurs

on regulated exchanges, such as the clearinghouse of Chicago. The following forms of credit risk

are known:

1. Replacement risk occurs when counterparties of the failed bank find their books are subjected

to the danger not to get refunds from the bank, where appropriate accounts became unbalanced.

2. Settlement risk occurs because of the time zones on different continents. Consequently,

currencies may be traded at the different price at different times during the trading day. Australian and New Zealand dollars are credited first, then Japanese yen, followed by the European All training material found in this manual and provided by Trading Intl. L.L.C. are held proprietary to Trading Intl. and Any duplication or reproduction is strictly prohibited and must be surrendered on demand.

7 currencies and ending with the U.S. dollar. Therefore, payment may be made to a party that will declare insolvency (or be declared insolvent) immediately after, but prior to executing its own payments.
Therefore, in assessing the credit risk, end users must consider not only the market value of their  currency portfolios, but also the potential exposure of these portfolios. The potential exposure may be determined through probability analysis over the time to maturity of the outstanding
position. The computerized systems currently available are very useful in implementing credit risk policies. Credit lines are easily monitored. In addition, the matching systems introduced in foreign exchange since April 1993 are used by traders for credit policy implementation as well.
Traders input the total line of credit for a specific counterparty. During the trading session, the line of credit is automatically adjusted. If the line is fully used, the system will prevent the trader from further dealing with that counterparty. After maturity, the credit line reverts to its original level.

Investmen Management : what we need to know ?

Question 2.1. Imagine you are a portfolio manager who buys and sells stocks over time in your quest for above-average investment returns. Also, imagine that you have a system at your disposal that can provide you with any up-to-the-minute data on the economy, your portfolio, or individual securities. (Given today’s technology and the myriad sources for historical and up-to-the-minute financial data, this is not a hypothetical question.)

a. Make a list of the data items that you would like to have to guide your quest for above-average investment returns.

b. Note on your list, as precisely as possible, how you intend to use the data once it is received.

As you answer these questions there are two important caveats.
First, the data you request cannot include peeks into the future. Asking, for example, for all of the stocks that will appreciate by more than 20 percent over the next 12 months is not a legitimate request.
Second, your “would like to have” list cannot include inside information. Given the vigilance of today’s regulators, if you attempt to procure and use information that is not in the public domain it is not likely you will be around long enough to finish this book.
Question 2.1—“what you need to know and why you need to know it” as well as the equally important corollary “what you do not need to know and why you do not need to know it”—cuts to the heart of the puzzle faced by all investors. The answers to this fascinating question will unfold in the chapters that lie ahead. I can promise that when you reach the last page you will be armed with keen understanding of “what you need to know” and “what you do not need to know” to make better investment decisions.
Question 2.2. What is your biggest problem when making invest-
ment decisions?
a. Not enough information.
b. Not receiving information fast enough.
c. Too much irrelevant information.
d. All of the above.
e. None of the above.
There is a huge paradox in the way most people approach investing. If you are a typical investor, even though you rank financial success and security among your most sought-after goals, you pursue this goal with a mixture of guesswork and wishful thinking. You routinely watch your favorite news channel and listen to your favorite radio station for market updates. Paradoxically, however, it is most likely that you are not up-to-date on the knowledge that you need to reach your financial goals. Similarly, if you are a typical fiduciary, you are bombarded by a barrage of usually conflicting in-
formation about how best to fulfill your responsibilities to the beneficiaries you serve.
In an insightful article written at the dawn of the information age (1967) Russell Ackoff1 (at the time a colleague of mine at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania) posited that the universal problem facing all decision makers—in disparate fields from weather forecasting, to medicine and, especially, investing—is that we all suffer from an “overabundance of irrelevant information.” Ackoff coined the term “management misinformation systems” to describe information systems that are designed to provide decision makers with more information, delivered faster, and that fail to take into account how the information will be used. Answers “a” and “b” to

Question 2.2 are
incorrect because they each describe elements of a “management misinformation system.” The correct answer is “c”—you have too much irrelevant information.
My favorite description of a management misinformation system was provided by Norman, one of my Wharton students in the
late 1960s. Norman had a weekend job in the data-processing de-
partment of a large, well-known Philadelphia company. Each week-
end his task was to run, print, and bind a report that was described
to him as the “backbone” of a key division.

Hacked : Run Level on Linux

Did you ever know what it is the run level?
Run Level is a state that is run on the Linux operating system on a particular phase.

Runlevel runlevel in linux that is 0-6 and emergency, own runlevel determine service2 which run automatically on your Linux, by default runlevel on the desktop / server GUI running in runlevel 5.

A system be booted into cans (ie, started up into) any of installments runlevels, EACH of the which is represented by a single digit integer. EACH runlevel designates a different system configuration and allows access to a different combination of processes (ie, instances of executing programs).

"Runlevel" defines the state of the machine after boot. Different runlevels are typically assigned to:

# init 0-6
0 = halt / PowerOff - shutdown-h now
6 = reboot - shutdown-r now

1, s, S, the single is on the run level single user mode is typically used for recovering your system, eg forgotten password, live in init 1 just days after the entry immediately wrote a prompt single user instead of root password. run in rc.sysinit

emergency bypass rc.sysinit, sulogin-prompt for root password

2 Multiuser mode without NFS
3 full multiuser textmode, usually runlevel is used for server
4 official undefined
5 GUI

sample / etc / inittab
id:5:initdefault:

You can edit this file with vim or nano editor with root previledges, after you edit this file you can reboot your machine to take effect.

imagine if the number five on the file above was replaced with 6?
