Asset Management Techniques

Owen Jones | August 30, 2010

How does one go about taking care of one’s assets – one’s worldly belongings? Well, the majority of people keep their money in a bank, put the jewellery in a strongbox and insure the remainder. But insurance is not really taking care of your possessions, is it? It is taking care of yourself so that you do not have replace them with your own money.

In the old days, and even now, I presume in some places, you would employ a boy to watch over your sheep or cattle or bring them in at night for fear of big cats, wolves or rustlers. These were an early kind of security guard and indeed rich people had and frequently still do have personal body guards.

What if you had a substantial office with a hundred laptop computers – laptops because people had to do field work too? How would you keep track on all those? A car is another good case in point and construction site machinery is being stolen all the time even from under the watchful gaze of (or with the compliance of) private security companies.

So what can you do? Get dogs? That works sometimes, but they can be poisoned. Get video cameras and passive infra-red motion sensors linked to a control centre? That works and a lot of firms and private houses have it, but it is very costly.

As a cheap alternative, the police were giving out free pens in the UK, which wrote in invisible ink. The idea was to write your postcode and house number. This ink became visible under a special kind of light. That is fine if you have a suspect or found property.

Bar codes are not realistic, the pen is better. It all comes back to insurance or surveillance.

However, there is another technique that is becoming affordable. The concept has been around for about 85 years, but it was too expensive to use on anything less significant than an airplane or a battle tank.

I am talking about radio frequency identification or RFID for short. The idea is the same one that aircraft have been using since during the Second World War – a transponder emits precoded information in answer to a request from an RF reader.

Information regarding ownership and details of what the item is can be written to an RFID chip also known as a tag and the tag can then be glued inside the item that it is to protect.

There are two varieties of tag: the passive and the active. Passive tags will only respond if information is requested by a reader, whereas an active tag is always broadcasting.

Many business people use RFID tagging to keep track of their assets. In the instance of farm animals, most cattle are tagged these days. Most large offices have their IT goods tagged as well and we all know that fashion stores have been tagging clothes for years, although maybe you did not know what that button was that they were taking off at the till.

People are already tagging their dogs, cats and cars and it will not be long before these asset management techniques will be used extensively at home too. Insurance companies may demand on it.

Owen Jones, the writer of this piece writes on quite a few topics, but is currently concerned with the RFID asset management. If you would like to know more, please go to our website at Active RFID Management.

Profiting From Forex Trading: Basics And Opportunity

Daniel Thompson | July 24, 2010

The foreign currency exchange market (forex market) is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing investment choices in the world. More than a trillion dollars each day is exchanged on the forex market. This is a truly global market that operates 24 hours a day. So why is this massive marketplace becoming so popular and what is forex?

Trading on the forex market is simply the act of exchanging the currency from one country for the currency of another. When the values of those currencies alter, you trade back for your original currency again, hopefully with a profit in your hand at the end of the trade.

Let’s say that you are comparing the United States Dollar to the Great Britain Pound. If you thought that the United States Dollar would appreciate in value as compared to the Great Britain Pound, then you would buy. Then if the currency exchange rate goes up, you close out the trade and you’ve made the difference between what you bought it at and what you sold it for.

The difference between what you bought and sold it for is profit and it is kept track of in a unit of measurement called pips. Pips are the basic unit in trading currencies. Your goal as a forex trader is to gain as many pips as you can.

As with any other form of trading, there are several ways to develop strategies. These can include scalping, swing trading or trending. Scalping is perhaps one of the more popular forms of trading where you simply buy and sell a lot of small transactions and then close out your position again quickly. This helps to minimize any potential losses as you’re in and out of the market again very quickly.

There are some amazingly versatile forex trading products, services and programs available to help solidify your trading strategies and formulate your research basis. These can range from coaching programs to forex robots that generate automated trading signals. If you haven’t ventured into the forex market before, then learning materials can be of huge assistance to you while your experience levels grow. Just be sure you investigate any programs or products you find before you pay money.

Digital products, or informational books that you download to your computer, are a great idea. The only problem is that you can’t verify what’s inside until after you’ve paid your money. Always see if you can find reviews for the product you’re considering. Join forex-related forums and ask questions of actual traders who are using the programs and systems you want.

The same rules apply when you’re trying to find the right forex broker. Because the forex market is global and the internet is a global medium, you might find the broker is in a country where the regulations are not as strict as they could be. If you can, try to be sure to find a broker who operates from the same country in which you live.

Regardless what you decide to do in the forex market, just be sure and learn a little bit about the market before you jump in. With great reward also comes great risk.

Halo 3 Trial Download

Nathan Jones | June 17, 2010

The release of Halo 3 was fervently awaited, as the game was the third in the original three-part series of the Halo videos. As a result, the Halo 3 free download was one of the most frequently downloaded game demos in the history of the Xbox 360. But what many people don’t realize is that the Halo 3 trial download helped make another game ie Crackdown.

What does the Halo 3 trial download have to do with another video game? Well, it has a great deal to do with the distribution and promotional work for a game that was originally meant for release on the Xbox system. Microsoft had become worried that Crackdown would not sell well.

And so they used a marketing tactic, the one of bundling Crackdown with an access code for the Halo 3 trial download. And it worked a treat in that Crackdown sold 1.5 million copies within the first six months of its release. Those aren’t Halo 3 figures, which sold 8.1 million units in slightly over a year, but for a lesser well-known game that’s absolutely terrific.

Microsoft had resorted to the Halo 3 trial download tactic because of adverse reports about the game from the game testers. They found the nonlinear nature of the game confusing, often leaving them wondering what they were meant to be doing next.

As a result of this, the powers that be knew that something had to be done or the game would be a loser. It may appear shady practice at first to try to push sales of a game that’s expected to be unpopular, but in retrospect people like the game and it was a good thing that they were able to get the chance to play it.

In Crackdown, and that includes the one associated with the Halo 3 free download, individuals play the role of an agent who is assigned to beat the kingpins or leaders of various gangs. To do this they use some superhuman powers such as super strength and super agility. In order to obtain these powers, players have to build up experience by defeating foes who then release experience orbs. The interesting idea in the system was that the kind of orbs released was reliant on the manner in which the agent killed the enemy. For instance, a firearms orb appears if the enemy was wiped out with a gun.

So, although at first sight this video bundled with the Halo 3 free download appears to be no more than a veiled marketing trick, in reality, it exposed gamers to an exciting new gameplay experience.

Halo 3

Casey Jones | May 25, 2010

Recently, while searching the Internet for information on the Halo 3 weapons cheats, I stumbled upon a number of what-if situations? What if Master Chief took on different famous characters from movies, comic books, and legends? Here is a list of some of these battles and my take on the outcome.

While technically not a Halo 3 weapon cheat, the match-up of Master Chief versus Robocop could be hot. According to the information on the Internet both have some similarities. They’re both human, they’ve both been improved on, they both have amazing armour and they are both veteran fighters. Most voters predicted that Master Chief would defeat Robocop, but let’s face facts here, Master Chief can be defeated with a pistol, whereas Robocop was still going after being blown up at a gas station. The nod has to go to Robocop.

When Master Chief battles with the next combatant he would do well to have a Halo 3 weapon cheat. The next is MacGyver. Master Chief has a lot going for him. He is proficient with a number of weapons; he has that amazing armour; he has some incredible vehicles at his disposal; he’s a Clint Eastwood type loner and he can regenerate himself. However, in short, MacGyver is brain over brawn. It would probably boil down to the same considerations in a fight between Batman and Superman. If it’s a closed arena where it’s man versus man, Master Chief will win. But put this contest in the real world with Swiss army knives and duct tape at his disposal, and MacGyver’s going to wipe the floor with our futuristic friend.

So far Master Chief is 2-0 down, it’s starting to look like he could definitely use a Halo 3 weapon cheat. But we’ll give him another chance. This time it’s Master Chief versus Terminator. We already know Master Chief’s powers, the Terminator’s are an ability to master every weapon, relentless willpower, indefatigability, amazing focus to kill his target. It all boils down to the Spartan laser weapon. As one voter said, if Master Chief can destroy vehicles with this weapon he can certainly put a sizeable hole in the Terminator too.

OK, let’s have one more battle before Master Chief finds his Halo 3 weapon cheat. What would he do in battle against Boba Fett from Star Wars? The major differences between Master Chief and Boba Fett are that Boba has no shield, owns his own ship and has a jet pack (wow).

Many people believe Star Wars would come out on top in this battle, but Master Chief’s weapons are far more powerful than those owned by the bounty hunter. This one makes it evens at 2-2.

So, there you have it. In this small poll that we read on the Internet, Master Chief is your average sort of super hero, who is not guaranteed to win every bout, unless he finds his weapons cheats or the story writers want him to, that is.

Halo 3 Screenshots

Casey Jones | May 17, 2010

When a video game series is as wildly popular as the Halo series, which includes Halo 3, of course, then it’s bound to result in there being many screenshots available. This piece concentrates on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.

Before mentioning the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s take a look at the figures that generate all of this media. Over 9 million copies of Halo 3 have been sold so far. That means that if each person who bought the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to make screen shots. A lot can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites online, a lot of it has been uploaded.

One of the things in Halo 3 that has often been documented in Halo 3 screenshots is the identity of Master Chief or more specifically, what his face looks like. If you use Google to find the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots, you’ll find a picture of Master Chief lying dead on the ground, clearly not showing a face inside his helmet. This explains why we never see his face, say many people, because he does not really have one.

Another one of the Halo 3 screenshots featuring in the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone posted that it looked a lot like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And guess what? – they’re absolutely right.

The designers of Halo 3 decided to make it a lot simpler for players to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to post them all over the Internet. In order to accomplish this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the video game. This feature allows people to slow down the action, or even to freeze it, change the camera position and even move the camera around to get exactly the screenshot they want to have. Generally speaking, the ‘Save Films’ feature records all the action that occurs in the game, so it can later be converted into videos are screenshots.

Yet another feature that has a lot to do with Halo 3 screenshots in the ‘Save Films’ feature, is the viewing of previously saved films. You see, the saves are not just images or video, they are real game data. This means two things: A] the file size is pretty small and B] the whole game can be watched from various viewpoints on the Xbox 360.

That means that a person could watch a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they look at it. That’s a lot better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.
