Energy-catching wings installed on ISS

HOUSTON (UPI) — The crew of the shuttle Discovery Friday installed solar wings that can double the electricity available on the International Space Station, NASA said.

When extended, the array measures 240 feet tip to tip and adds 9,600 square feet to the station’s solar arrays, the U.S. space agency said.

The installation was delayed after a small “ripple” in one of the arrays was discovered, but Mission Control in Houston said it wasn’t an issue and that it flattened out naturally when the array was extended.
The solar wings can double the electric power available for scientific experiments conducted aboard the orbiting space station.

Ordered Some Furniture for a Friend

I felt a bit tired and sleepy now. I have been out for almost a day. I went home late already because I had fun with friends. It was truly a great day. What was great was also the different food served today. I ate a lot again. I will be coming back for next month’s meeting. Anyway, I already ordered last time some household furniture for a friend. She did like it. Today before I meet some friends, I also went to a shop to look for outdoor furniture. Spring time is here now even the weather is still quite cold. Putting outdoor furniture especially in the garden to just sit down and relax is also cool. I always do it during spring and summer times. I can’t wait to enjoy the spring time especially that my flowers starts to grow again! I am excited!

Looking for Laptop

I have been browsing for laptop the past days. As what I just mentioned in my previous post that my computer loads very slow, I guess I need to find a replacement immediately before it crashes. I hope not. It is also getting very noisy now. Sorry I forgot to mentioned it in my previous post too. Buying a laptop is not really my priority. I still have to save some money again to buy it. If you visit my other blogs, you might know where my small savings went. Besides that we will be having a trip to Paris next week which also means spending some bucks.

Anyway, I am just starting to shop the cheapest laptop I can find now so that I can set aside some extra money for it. I know I can buy it immediately if I will apply for payday loans but since I don’t have a job, I believed nobody can extend a financial assistance to somebody who is jobless. What do you think guys? I am working at home anyway and I love my job! want to know about it? I might share it next time! Goodnight everyone!

My Computer Loads Very Slow

I don’t know what’s wrong with my computer. This week I just noticed that it is loading very slow. Is it because I have a lot of things being stored in my computer. I got thousands of photos stored in my pc. I don’t exactly know why this is acting like this now. Or maybe I need to upgrade my browser? Or maybe I need a new pc? I don’t know exactly guys! I will see but if you have any idea what are the causes why a computer loads slowly, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Crisis is Everywhere

Did you just read my title? Crisis is everywhere! Am I right with this? Crisis can be in any form. You can say about mid-life crisis which I think are happening to people who are in the middle of her/his life span or people who are simply getting older. You an also talk about a person whose life is in crisis which simply means 50/50 chance of living..this sounds not good! Or you can simply means about the financial and economic crisis that is happening around the world now. Most countries or I would say all countries are suffering now with this bad economic condition.

I always hear from some friends in the United States about recession. Some even lose their jobs. People who are getting a monthly salary are even having hard times coping with all their daily needs or can’t even cope-up in paying their obligations such as credit cards, loans, mortgages, car loans and the like. A lot seek the help of some financial institution that are willing to help individuals in the form of cash advance loan. Do you think this is the best solution?

We just keep on hoping that we will overcome all these crisis in our lives. Whatever form it is, we must be thankful that we are still in this world and lucky to be here. Have a great weekend in advance!

Annoying Beep of My Smart For Four Car Finally Resolved

The Annoying of my Smart For Four Car was finally resolved! I was happy last Friday even I was not feeling well. My husband who loves to always fix cars finally found the reason why my car keeps on beeping everytime I turn on the ignition key. If you read before my previous post about this in this blog, you might find more information.

Last Friday my husband went home earlier. Since he can’t talk to me because I don’t want to hear some noise or even a voice due to migraine, he found sometime fixing my car. There are always some fuses in the car for the lights or anything that serve its purpose. He tried to find and get it one by one. According to his story to me, everytime he get one fuse out, and put it back, he tries to turn on the key. He did it until he reached the fifth fuse. As he put it back and turn the ignition key on, the annoying beep was gone. He checked it again yesterday and my car never had that annoying beep again. As we had a lunch date today and drove my car, I never heard it beep again. Congrats mein Schatz!! Du bist sehr gut!! (you are very good!)..I can continue to drive my Smart For Four a again without fear. Thats was really an annoying beep before. Thanks to my dearest husband who got talent in fixing cars!! If you are driving the same car and have the same problem, try what my husband did!! I am happy again to drive my car!

What is XML ?

I already heard and read about this all the time in the internet. Honestly, I don’t exactly know what it is. For my own information and for everybody, below is the meaning of XML. Thanks to internet for providing such infos like this.

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages. It is classified as an extensible language, because it allows the user to define the mark-up elements. XML’s purpose is to aid information systems in sharing structured data, especially via the Internet, to encode documents, and to serialize data; in the last context, it compares with text-based serialization languages such as JSON, YAML and S-Expressions.

XML’s set of tools helps developers in creating web pages but its usefulness goes well beyond that. XML, in combination with other standards, makes it possible to define the content of a document separately from its formatting, making it easy to reuse that content in other applications or for other presentation environments. Most importantly, XML provides a basic syntax that can be used to share information between different kinds of computers, different applications, and different organizations without needing to pass through many layers of conversion.
