Knowledge spiral

Knowledge divided the two, the explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge. The explicit knowledge is knowledge written, archived, spread & printed and can be a reference for other people and tacit knowledge is a form of know how, experience, skill, and understanding the rules of thumb, usually accidentally found, michael polyani said that the knowledge that we have more than told.

Ikujiro Nonaka make the formulation as the famous SECI spiral or knowledge. The concept that in the cycle of life we travel, the knowledge that if the process described spiral-shaped, this process is called Socialization - Externalization - Combination - Internalization

  • Externalization is the process of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. Can write with the know-how and experience that we get in the form of articles, writing, blog, or even books.
  • Combination is utilizing the existing explicit knowledge to explicit knowledge is implemented into another. This process is very useful to improve the skill and productivity itself.
  • internalization process of the explicit knowledge as inspiration comes knowledge. From the fourth process, this is only possible as we do. Other language is learning by doing. Working with references from books, blogs, manual and find new experiences, new understanding is not obtained from books.
  • Socialization process is change tacit knowledge to tacit knowledge others. This is sometimes forgotten. We do not take advantage of our presence on a job to learn from others who may be more experienced. This process makes our skill developed and also important for self-improvement course, which will return in the process externalization. The more successful the process of acquiring new tacit knowledge, the more explicit knowledge that we are successful in the production process externalization.(info komputer magazine, september 2008 : page 142)

How to avoid identity theft

Publish any personal information in any form and on the internet is an action that can not be justified. However, we can not blame the social networking site just because they provide a place for its users to communicate and interact more comfortably. Awareness of the importance of the meaning of information security and data privacy already owned by each user's internet service itself.
To avoid this we can do some of the following ways:

  • Do not write the information themselves in detail or in a public place accessible to the public.
  • Even if do not have to write it all, make some data (not necessary all) that is not appropriate, may be age, date of birth job. But do not fill out with fake identity for the serious registration form.
  • Avoid writing the name of parents, especially mother - given the many credit card companies still use the mother name as secret question.
  • Avoid using a very precise answer to every secret question, for example, "who is your childhood hero" answer with the name of the school or your pets.
  • Perform the removal or manipulation of data birthdays in social networking site
  • Delete the history & surfing impression especially in public area, such internet cafe, office.
  • Dont show/tell your ID or alias name to unknown or unfamiliar person.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV Sport profile

The success of Mitsubishi electric car to market the first prototype Mitsubishi i-MiEV, apparently continued on the development of technology that leads to the Mitsubishi sport style. Of course this is not just any style, but also the application of current technology, which Mitsubishi Motors in Japan.

Now, place the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2009, by PT Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian Motors (KTB) as ATPM Mitsubishi in Indonesia. Cars is labeled "Sport" is very different from the older type. i-MiEV Sport is acknowledged even by KTB as the application of DNA.

"I-MiEV next-generation tools have been marketed in Japan and several Asian countries including Singapore. And when we create the i-MiEV Sport, the energy that Mitsubishi started to market this very large, "said Riswan Alamsyah KTB marketing director melaunching after several line-up in the booth at the KTB Friday (24/07) yesterday.

Then what is to be the excess i-MiEV Sport rather than the first prototype electric car from Mitsubishi? lets we see some of the use of technology.

Product concept and exterior

Unlike the i-MiEV products before, i-MiEV Sport has a hollow body and a firm can only carry two people. Yah, his name only sports car equipped with electricity, of course many factors that cargo does not become a major consideration. Therefore, the design is the vehicle's performance is better.


The exterior i-MiEV Sport is a mobile application performance electric car from Mitsubishi. Without the luxury of a car electrical products, as well as i-MiEV ward that electric cars are not reliable for the race start.
With the application of the exterior color dominance color pearl reflection with verdure, is the application that has been previously considered remote. And this shows the effect of art and futuristic look that beautifully integrated in the tranquility.

The luxury of Interior
The withdrawal as a concept car of the future of environment-friendly tagline, i-MiEV Sport has a very luxurious interior with the feel of tranquility that is life. Geometric design space is created in the synthesis and structure of metallic materials, combined with the feel of blue lights that create tranquility in the cabin.

Not only carrying sporty name and friendly environment to zero emision their waistband, but different levels of comfort such as air conditioning is considered the very friendly environment. Using the bio-filter air deodorizer (odor remover) and the system of oxygen and AROM (oxygen and aroma Generating system), create a cabin feel very comfortable.

The wind is noisy because the dash of the car, into the calculation of retired cars sport. Moreover, with the electrical system does not remove the noise from the engine, wind noise on the dash will be a disruption for the rider.

However, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV Sport is not going to happen, because the system is able to a sophisticated air aerodynamic to the stream is very good. So there is no noise into the cabin.

Body Structure
Layout order i-MiEV Sport be regarded unique. Using the rear-midship design, using the i-MiEV wheelbase is relatively long to put on some important car part, including power source and some battery part on the floor, also combined with the engine compartment space, inverter and charger.

To support the performance of a sports car concept, course materials chassis become the most major. Mitsubishi also apply the aluminum space frame structure is lightweight, rigid and very strong. In addition suspension was made of the same material, to improve the performance of pace and of course the fuel efficiency is high.

The Engine power
Talking about the engine power, the application of high technology is consequent. i-MiEV Sport uses a system of 3 machines. Among them are two-wheel machine in which the front wheels and a single engine that provides power to the rear wheels.

E-4WD system (4WD Electric-Powered), claimed to be able to optimize the strength of the car's engine itself. While for the S-AWC system, responsible for the control system E-4WD, E-AYC (Electric Active yaw control), ABS and ACS (Active Stability Control). A welfare system that provides a cohesive this is the best performance from an electric sports car.

To support the performance of a sports car concept, course materials sasis become the most major. Mitsubishi also apply the aluminum space frame structure is lightweight, rigid and very strong. In addition suspension was made of the same material, to improve the performance of pace and of course the fuel efficiency is high.

i-MIEV use high density lithium ion battery. A module consists of 4 cells, and 22 modules make one battery pack.

Thanks to the structure of the modules, which allows them to be installed in either a vertical or transverse position, each high-capacity battery pack can fit under the floor. With these batteries installed, the target range is 160km (driving pattern: Japan 10-15 mode) for fleet monitoring test vehicles in 2008, also high efficiency motor, Highly efficient motor can be built smaller than gasoline engine, while still producing high torque at low revolutions. The “i MiEV” ’s small, light weight, highly efficient permanent magnet synchronous motor provides sportier, quieter driving and power superior to the gasoline “i” ’s turbo charged 660cc engine.

Environment-Friendly Technology

The only car that uses a system of recycling energy as KERS system that is used by Ferrari and mclaren F1 in this season, is the i-MiEV Sport. However, in the i-MiEV Sport, the pendaur recycling energy does not only apply only to improve performance. But also recover energy during deseleration. Besides the sun and help the fan turbine into nano technology that makes the i-MiEV Sport is very friendly with nature.

Not only that, the glass used was able to store energy received from the sun. Because it can store solar energy, efficiency air conditioner can reduce use of energy. Besides, the use of a green plastic-based plants, is also a CO2 reduction of one alternative that is currently still applied.

Specifications of i-MiEV Sport:
Overall dimensions: 3450/1600/1400 (mm)
Wheelbase: 2550 mm

2010 Honda Insight, Prius competitor in 2009

Car manufacturer Honda eventually participate in the hybrid vehicle business. With only install the power source in hybrid car according to the usual Honda is not interesting. If the car you want to serious business in hybrid car, the better the view, if the vehicle will be thrown to the consumer must also be seen about the identity of the hybrid car. Significantly, Honda All New Insight can be duplicates of the first hybrid Toyota Prius in 2009.

2010 Honda Insight has a dimension smaller Prius instead. Indeed, it has no added value so important. For example, the cabin space is limited. However, the weight of the vehicle into a little added value, drivers can control the car more sprightly.

Nevertheless, the features of safety standards remains. In addition, the navigation system can be arranged and has bluetooth capability. This also can be seen with an artificial tooth replacement with the acceleration and seven made the continuous variable transmission (CVT).

Honda Insight directly compete with the new Toyota Prius in 2009. However, both characters have a different engine. A simple example, the difference in fuel consumption for the Insight in and out of town 40/43 miles per gallon. While the Prius has a more sigifikan value, ie, more economical 48/45 miles per gallon. Honda seems to remain confident the car will sell fast, but simple.

Competition may want to do that Honda is in terms of price. With the Insight was launched, customers were given the option between the two hybrid car that is almost the same berteknologi. How not, banderole Insight 2010 only U $ 19,800 or around Rp 190 million, compare with the Prius in 2099 that cost U $ 23,375 or equivalent to Rp 230 million.

Insight in the present configuration in 2010: four-door, five-passenger seating. One source of energy available: the combination of the 1.3 liter engine, 88 horsepower, combined with the four-cylinder gasoline engine and parallel electric wall 10 kilowatt, 13 horsepower, and direct electric current (DC). Locomotion in the front wheels through a continuous variable transmission (CVT). Two of the three models offered, the acceleration of the wheels have managed computer, with a seven-speed transmission and manual gear simulation. Basic model with standard CVT is very efficient and competent. (ANS / NewCarTestDrive / Yahoo!)

Fuel saving tips : part 2

The Driver / rider factors :

  1. Run your vehicle with maximum torque, not the maximum power (maximum torque can be seen in the manual) and drive with smooth gear & appropriate speed. In this matter, a vehicle that has tachometer more profitable ...
  2. Purchase gasoline in the morning before the day or evening at 9:00 am / after 16:00 pm and night
  3. Avoid congestion, alternative way, this is better than gasoline vapor in vain occlusion. remember the fuel consumption is not measured per km per minute, but, be it in stoppage occurred consumption 1 liter / 1KM, not extravagant ...
  4. Avoid using a motor vehicle if you do not need the distance or near, it is better to use a bicycle guarantee you more healthy.
  5. Do slipstream behind another vehicle, adjust the vehicle class, for example, a motorcycle with a motorcycle, a car with the car, but not too long.
  6. use the fuel according to the compression engine, using fuel that is not appropriate, will make extravagant fuel ... for example; have compression above 9,6:1 engine, better use high octane fuel.
  7. stable (not too much acceleration or deceleration) ... in order to obtain the optimal gasoline consumption ....
  8. Set itinerary, with how to find information jam2 busy high density routes and travel.
  9. note the condition of the engine and suspension/tire... if engine and suspension healthy and will produce the maximum performance. maintenance vehicles regularly.
  10. Dislodged accessories that are not necessary, the audio system of the wall - let alone that the aerodynamics and increase vehicle weight.
  11. use tire specifications in accordance with the vehicle .... the use of tire and low quality or oversize velg (although good models) will only result in the wasteful gasoline use ....
  12. check tire pressure regularly.
  13. the tools of fuel is also not forbidden to use, for example; Ionizer or Octane booster.
  14. Specifically for motorcycle: Turn off the engine if you are queuing to buy fuel.
  15. Try turn off the engine at a red light up more than 2 minutes, do not even play a handgrip or a gas pedal, you're not racing ..
  16. Try reducing your body weight, because if you are the more weight, the more the fuel consumption required to run engine.
  17. Do not heat the vehicle more than 2 minutes to play especially with added gas, use the choke to set the engine in the cold ..

Fuel saving tips : part 1

Vehicle technical factors:

  1. Choose a vehicle that stroke is longer than Bore, consequence this engine type is good in the acceleration and the strong rise in fuel efficiency and less good top speed. Vehicles that have big moment torque in the low engine run, so no need to press gas pedal or grip in too.
  2. Vehicles that have a drag coefficient (cd) low has a good aerodynamic.
  3. Use technology VTEC, VVT-i, what a motorcycle has fuel injection system, vacuum carburetor
  4. I have more money, can buy a type of hybrid engines, for example; toyota prius or honda FCX kinds fuelcell he he he: D
  5. Standard tire pressure, tire pressure will save the appropriate fuels to 30% and accelerate the pace car up to 3%.
  6. A thin oil, SAE 10W 40, 10W 30 or 5W 30 make economical consumption of fuel oil 15W50 or 20W50.
  7. Special for carburetor machines ; the open air adjusment for about 1 / 2 round to the right.

Maintenance your optical disc

An institute in the United States, NIST (National Institute of standards and technology) has conducted research in the archiving optical disc (CD / DVD / BRD) scientifically. This tip is so that data can be stored for a long time.

  • Put in the upright position, this is to avoid the growth of fungi.
  • Use cleaning fluids that are free of ink. Clean with a cotton cloth do clean / towel in the optician's to the outside. Use alcohol to clean the stain is heavy.
  • Do not touch the area, hold on the middle and outside edge, do not bend.
  • Use only when you want to play it.
  • Open the CD or DVD empty from packaging just for burn only.
  • Store in cool & dark room (free of cigarette smoke, does not avoid the car in direct sunlight.
  • Use good quality media, usually famous & expensive optical disc, for example; Taiyo yuden, sony, verbatim, mitsubishi chemical

Security at Facebook rift revealed

Sophos, the world's IT security specialists warn again that the internet user's personal information may be in danger and should be dissociated from the internet. The information show that the most popular social networking site at this time that Facebook has a slit that allows hackers to access the profile information is worth more than 200 million users.

According to Sophos, the data can be taken, including date of birth, place of birth, sex, family members, relationship status, and others can be used to perform identity forgery.

Creator of the blog FBHive.com find an easy way to show anything listed on the panel 'Basic Information' every Facebook user. Even though this information has been hidden by the user using the security settings site. By using slit security, FBHive successfully access the personal information, such as members of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg (CEO Facebook), Kevin Rose (Digg founder), and Cory Doctorow (blogger well).

Cleft security is currently being diperbaiki by Facebook. However not yet known whether the hackers have been using information that was accessible to maluse.

"Fortunately Facebook has been aware and improve the security of this rift. But know that there was rift security, especially that can be potentially dangerous to the millions of Facebook users, who when they think that their information is not necessarily secure "said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant, Sophos, in the press that information VIVAnews quoted 26 June 2009. "This is not the first time they have found Facebook to be the center attention, because they were not successfully secure the information users. Last month, security slit that allows the identity thieves and spammers collect email addresses private also revealed, "said Cluley.

Cluley said, the user may need to know that if they want to safe in social networking, they should not rely on the sites to check their data. "In fact, may be better if it does not upload at all important information," said Cluley.

The first step of data recovery

Data will be saved if more easily observe the following.

Do not store important files on the system partition, for example, drive C, in many cases I find that many users, especially MS word and other similar direct clicks diskette icon, which will be stored in the folder "my document" which is located in the partition system, for it to move only partition with a right-click the folder "my document" after the move and click the button to move a partition that still has a lot of space.
Do defrag regularly; files stored sequentially in the cluster, this occurs only if many partitions are available. Removal and writing regularly drive on the file will cause the split, as in the example below:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) - should represent a small 8

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) - now files (2), (4), (7) and (8) were deleted

(1) (9) (3) (9) (5) (6) (9) (9) - the disk is fragmented if a larger file is stored

If a file is deleted, then the new data will fill an empty cluster. If new data is greater than the old data, the data will be placed in a related but fragmented. When reading fragmented files, the head moving "jump" that will cause a decrease of read & write speed that will affect overall system performance. So that the head can read & write in effisien, do defragmentasi regularly, after defragmentasi, the files will be placed in a sequence, as in the example:

(1) (9) (9) (9) (9) (3) (5) (6) - after the drive is defragmented

Non-fragmented disc will increase the level of efficiency saving data, because the whole data will be stored in a first cluster file system & improve performance.
Do not store data on the drive with a small, because a large fragmentation occurs.
Data recovery software must be installed on a separate drive from the target drive, if it does not happen will be overwriting the data that will be saved and the data will be difficult to recovered. Do not perform any activity on the target drive, including store & delete files, and will be better if the recovery software installed on the 2nd hard disk.

My Facebook account is cracked...

Yesterday night after using the internet, I immediately went to bed but before I try to update the status in facebook mobile, but apparently I can not, even though the correct password is entered, tried many times still can not, I finally went to sleep aja, tried only in the PC.
The next day, I try on PC, same result ... the result : (, And then I open the e-mail account that is used to facebook, there is notification of the security warning that the contents facebook:

We have detected Suspicious activity on your Facebook account and have your password reset as a security precaution. It is possible that malicious software was downloaded to your computer or that your password was stolen by a phishing website designed to look like Facebook .........

They ordered to me to change my password and update antivirus and finally I am trying to do, this time using the password with a combination of letters numbers, which he said was powerful and the password is longer than before and this time, thanks god, facebook can be accessed again.
I just could not get it, a friend who chat with last night also experienced the same thing, I suggest doing the same thing with. can this mass attack? ... hehehe. A friend on FB also recommend changing your password often, I thought this great idea, and I also remember about cookies and privacy settings enter the firefox, I finally find the "accept third party cookies' option that by default there is still mark, then I removed signs mark because I suspect this is the cause, my facebook is cracked, I also set "keep until" to "close firefox", but cookies also more important for adsense program, banking site, webmail, etc. My suggestion, activate them if you just need it and dont activate cookies in fake sites, porn sites, etc.

Maintenance your cellular phone battery

Caring for Nimh battery

Batere this type can be longer if charged with a charger penetrating (high flow). Nimh batteries for storage for more than a month, first empty the contents and store in the refrigerator, but not in the freezer because it will make a quick battery damaged. In the mobile phone, type Battery capacity is quickly lost if the charge is often in circumstances not completely empty (lazy battery effect). To restore it, steps need to be taken as follows; use feature of the Battery is in the phone menu (if any), emptying with this feature, if you do not have this facility to turn on the phone battery out (turn off the power saving feature), after the new re-filled.

If you have performed the procedures as above, but still can not eliminate the effect batere lazy and measured using multitester exceed 1.68volt, Battery marks are eligible to be removed.

Caring for Li-ion battery

Li-ion battery only hold 300-500 times filled, and capacity, and finally broken down. Although filled moment, still counted as one cycle of charging shorten Battery age. To maintain the Li-ion battery still fit, you can do when your really out already. Better have 2 pieces Battery type Li-ion for the same device, to reduce the charging cycle which will extend the age battery.

Things that must be purchased in the Li-ion Battery, ask for a guarantee that the age battery not more than 6 months because the battery type is very easy to unravel and reactive loss of capacity, that is why many producers Battery that does not include a date of production, but can still be found in the battery serial number . If you get this gadget to the Battery to fill the full capacity to be awake, and if they do not use, store in refrigerator in a filled, but not in the freezer.

How to crossing the speedtrap with a motorcycle

Most indonesian know about speedtraps, in indonesian sometime called polisi tidur. A speedtraps has the function to reduce vehicle speed. Speedtraps can usually be found on roads around villages or residential areas to reduce vehicle speed for those crossing that road, it may be dangerous for people and their children around residential areas. We often find misshaped & irregular speedtraps in many roads.

Speedtraps may have a good function, to reduce vehicle speed. It's safety for people who are residents in around road and driver who is travelling on the road, but as stated in the introduction, misshaped or irregular speedtraps can be dangerous for people who are travelling on the road, because it makes fingers legs and hands working hard to hold up the shocks than before. Besides that the body may fatigue quickly.

The methode for crossing the speedtrap:
  1. Decrease your speed, dont use brakes to slow down, it will wear out your front suspension.
  2. When you get close to the speedtrap, ift your body from the seat. You dont need to stand up on your motorcycle. This makes a decreased load on the suspension.
  3. Use your knee as hinge.
  4. On the top of speed trap, add a little for increase power of your motorcycle.
  5. Most important, fill your front fork of your motorcycle with shock absorber oil every 11.000 km or every once 1 year. It's better to fill it with a little above normal capacity. It makes your bike more stable for the purpose of crossing speedtraps or bumpy roads.

All methods above are adopted from motorcross techniques. May help if you will be crossing the speedtraps.

This article dedicated to Mr. Bill, who as my lecturer in university 3 years ago. Thanks sir... I miss u..

Tips ini sebenarnya sudah ada dalam majalah photoshop made easy yg dipinjem teman tapi tidak pernah balik...ilang katanya..ya udah dikhlaskan aja...untung masih ingat langkah-langkahnya yang membuat karya anda tidak gampang dibajak, sebagai berikut :

  1. Buka photoshop anda, klik open file, pilih gambar...
  2. Pilih gambar "T" pada tools - pilih horizontal/vertikal text mask tool- tempatkan pada tengah gambar buat yang besar, karena berdasarkan pengalaman, watermark yang ditaruh di pinggir sering di crop sang pembajak.
  3. Buat layer baru, secara otomatis akan terbentuk pola seleksi pada tulisan yang dibuat, lalu klik edit - pilih fill - pilih warna sesuai selera, tapi lebih baik putih.
  4. Klik layer - layer style - blending options- pilih bevel and emboss - atur sesuai selera bisa juga ditambah drop shadow
  5. pada layer palette - rubah pencahayaan jadi soft light dan opacity jadi 50%.
