Getting Rid of Latency

Latent heat is a very important concept. In water, 0 degrees centigrade is the latent heat of melting. 100 degrees centigrade is the latent heat of vaporisation. At 0 degree centigrade solid ice becomes liquid water. Temperature remains 0 degree centigrade for some time till solid ice becomes liquid water completely. After that temperature raises with time.
Humans too have latency. Some exhibit latency in studying while some in working. Humans do not become liquid or vapour on getting energy. Humans use this energy in brain activities or muscular activities. Rice eaters generally exhibit less latency. Rice is starch and gets used by body more easily. Wheat eaters exhibit more latency. But human body is a wonder. It adjusts so well, for possibly survival, that it adjusts suitably to the food we eat.
Motivation is the key to a human being. Inspiration often drives the motivation and makes a man excel in his field. But inspiration is being tied to faith. This faith could be faith in your abilities, support from parents or friends or God or anything. So having faith is the key.
So assuming faith is the most important thing; should one try to cling to faith like solid ice and refuse to become liquid water when heat like situation happens? No. In fact the opposite should be done. One should have faith and understand that both solid ice and liquid water are H2O and should allow conversion in state. This is likely to improve a person trying to get rid of latency.
So, believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities. Accept the changes happening. React and act to these situations by maintaining faith in yourself. Gradually, you will get rid of latency and lead a more dynamic life.
 

Extended Workouts

I have extended my gymnasium workouts by 3 months. Till September.
I am now able to do workouts especially cardio much more easily. Normally I do two cardio for 15 minutes each with a 15 minutes weight workouts. Sometimes, I do three cardio workouts for 15 minutes each. I normally do workouts for 45 minutes. The cardio sessions are usually intense and is at my maximum.
I also do dumbbells at home in the evenings. I have a 10 kg pair and a 5 kg pair at home. I do bicep curls, shoulder lifts, one dumbbell triceps back lifts, bench press, squats, squat jumps, free leg raises. (It is important for bodybuilding enthusiasts to learn definitions and names of exercises). The evening session is for 30 minutes.  With the 5 kg pair, I do exercises like wrist curls, arm side raises.
I am managing to show discipline in eating habits. I eat to a plan as much as practically possible. What I mean here is I may eat a snack instead of Complan planned. This is because I was offered snacks at home and I was tempted to eat this.
Workouts also brings about peace in mind and if you are one of those who want to participate in marathon race, then workouts give hope too.

Staying in circle

The earlier style of governments at the centre revolved around personalities. The men in power were assumed supreme status and those who were in their loop succeeded. And those who did not manage to get their patronage remained insignificant. Moreover, people not in their coterie, had difficult time trying to please and get rid of differences in opinions. Many times, it would be maddening for these people.
Now that a new government is there, a new way of work is expected. The not so lucky should not feel deprived of mental viewpoints differences. The talented should get opportunities to succeed. After all, people have clearly rejected old way of working in the just concluded elections.
Dale Carnegie, the foremost expert in relationships, has said that there is only one way to build a relationship. Satisfying the other person. But in USA, win-win works. In India it may not. It is usually win-loose relationship.
So therefore to get into relationship or to get a job done, here in India, one must be ready to loose. To gain one thing, loose something else ( maybe more precious ). But one must face it boldly. Having faith in oneself and staying away from things that weaken your strong areas helps.
Here is the diagram, I suggest you follow to maintain harmony in you and also in others. The aim is to keep your circle going. The situation you face, should not make the object get out of the circle tangentially and cause damage.
If the circle is stable; and your minimum objective is met; and the other person is happy; then fine. Go all out and get the job done. Or go ahead in the relationship.

Bright Future

Exit polls indicate a simple majority for NDA. And good performance by BJP.  People wanted a change. People voted for change. Now, people have to work for change.
I was interested in exercising. My brother ordered Bullworker by parcel during school days. He also bought dumbells from market. Over the years I discovered that spiritual balance can be brought out only by exercises.
I was always a reader. I remember being a member of four libraries during my school days. But now, I find music more interesting. Currently I listen to web direct music; thanks to Nokia Mix Radio. However, I like reading economic news. I read Economic Times and mobile Mint everyday.
I am reasonably religious. I am reasonably good in music. Film music interests me. Younger music directors are quite good. I enjoy their music.
The reason I wrote about exit polls and about myself is because one has to give positive contribution to the new government.

My attempt at a Windows phone App:-

 

There are readymade templates available. These have to be filled with right information.    

 

Nokia 720 having Windows Phone 7.1. Look at the background. There is an image !!

 

 

Below are the snapshots of Storyteller Apps in my laptop. You may observe my cartoons from my cartooning site. Also you may observe my dafli video posted on Youtube. Dafli video has been made using Youtube template in designer with search conditions "dafli+percussion".

 

Below is the snap taken from Nokia 1520 of my Nokia 720 having Cortana. Cortana is the yellow rectangle around the corner of the screen. She gives instruction in speech. You may observe that phone tile is missing. This is because it may not be needed as AI instructs about phone and I felt tile is not needed because of this. Also observe the background image.

 

Below is the status of my Lumia 720.

 

This is how my Nokia Lumia 720 looks like at present. Notice the Cortana tile.

 

The final position of my Nokia Lumia 720. No SIM. But as long as VoIP is there, using Nokia Lumia 720 this way is no way morally wrong.

 

Nokia 1520 is my regular phone now. I bought a Bose headset with Bluetooth from Reliance shop. Nokia 1520, Nokia Mix Radio and Bose goes just too good together . . .

 

 

The latest position of Lumia 720 is as below. Cortana is still unavailable in India. I was trying for evaluation purposes. It was enabled by changing region to US and not India. Now I have disabled Cortana. Region is India. Also, the access point was configured at last. The internet works, now, in Lumia 720. Hence the news section tiles.

Lumia 720 as on 30th June 2014.

 

 

 

 

 

                

Hot Winds

Summer has arrived in India. The temperature soars upto 43 degrees celcius in most part of India.
I take the following steps to beat the heat.

1. Hygiene - During initial summer beginning, bacteria and fungi grow at a faster rate than the immunity of humans. Therefore, one needs to be careful and avoid drinking water from dubious sources. One must avoid outside food too. This is because water and food may have stronger bacteria and our immunity may be not that strong. The initial days are first 10 days. Currently, the initial period is over. Now you can have filtered water. You can also eat food outside.
2. Keeping it cool - Crop your hair if you are a man. You may apply amla oil if you are a woman. Dabur Amla hair oil has thick oil base. So apply only a little. Oil bath also helps in keeping body cool.
3. Keep pores clean - Scrub your body with loofah after applying soap. This will take out oil and dirt from pores.
4. Cap and goggles - Wear a thin cap on your head and wear goggles while going out.
5. Sleeping on floor - Try to get a nap in the afternoons on holiday on the floor without even a bedsheet or mattress. Just the floor and you. Switch on the fan. No AC or cooler. Try to get an hour or two of nap. Your body will get relaxed and you will also cool down.
6. Cleanliness - When taking bath clean the feet completely with loofah and soap. The palm of the feet. The fingers of feet etc. This will energise you.
7. Chywanprash - Chyawanprash can be taken if you are worried of getting infection due to water or food.

Follow these steps and you will be able to beat the heat better.

Yet More Digital . . .

Heartbleed is causing problems.
Password Management software stores user name and password for sites. For Hotmail, Hotmail user name and password. For GMail, GMail user name and password. The Password Management software do not mix these up. Also there is confidentiality.
One place the Password Management software do not work is the secured sites. Banking for instance. Here the user has to fill in the username and password manually. These sites work on SSL. Here, the data fed in are encrypted and decrypted at server. Similarly the data from server are encrypted and decrypted at browser level.
Programs had to be developed for utilising SSL features. So, OpenSSL standards were made.
Heartbleed exploited OpenSSL and the data was exposed.
Why did it happen? Encryption, Security are ever changing paradigms. The users of internet are expected to update their systems. Latest browsers are expected to be used. But an average user normally disallows automatic updates by software vendors and this results in malwares like Heartbleed. Because even though the server may be having latest security, the client browser may not. Therefore, only old security would work here. The Heartbleed fully understands this and manages to break the encryption and takes out the heart of information from the junk encrypted value. It enjoys the data fully and data is totally at the mercy of Heartbleed.
Windows 8.1 will be available shortly for phones. For laptops it was already there. Windows 8.1 in phones will mean Cortana assistant; more lockscreen messages from Windows app, say lockscreen reminder messages from reminder windows phone app; more user friendly features like better volume etc. Also tiles backround can be from an image.

 

Make it a habit

There is a problem with success. You have to keep succeeding.
There are many talent out there in the real world. But there are stories associated with them. Stories that they were dejected. Or poor. Or unhappy.
If your talent does not manifest into a habit then you will end up into a tragic story. You may argue that you will go to heaven for all the talent you possess. But people who successfully make a habit of their talent will cause so much jealousy that your present life in earth will be a hell.
You can make habits. It should not be difficult. It requires discipline. It requires practise.

The above chart helps in make one understand habit formation. If the circle is balanced and if you decide to apply your soul then you will be able to make a habit.
