| All eyes on German renewable energy efforts |
| 2011-12-29 06:43:00 |
FELDHEIM, Germany (AP) -- This tiny village of 37 gray homes and farm buildings clustered along the main road in a wind-swept corner of rural eastern Germany seems an unlikely place for a revolution. Yet environmentalists, experts and politicians from El Salvador to Japan to South Africa have flocked here in the past year to learn how Feldheim, a village of just 145 people, is already putting into practice Germany's vision of a future powered entirely by renewable energy. Chancellor Angela Merkel's government passed legislation in June setting the country on course to generate a third of its power through renewable sources — such as wind, solar, geothermal and bioenergy — within a decade, reaching 80 percent by 2050, while creating jobs, increasing energy security and reducing harmful ...

| TOGAF 9.0 CERTIFIED |
| 2011-12-21 09:34:00 |
After I passed my TOGAF foundation two months back and with additional two months of preparation and extensive study of TOGAF 9.0 specification, I finally settled my TOGAF Certified certification. The exam was a tough one, depending on how you perceive it. It is questionably easy to pass without a thorough understanding of the topics as many exam takers commented that you just need to pick the longest answer or the most TOGAFish answer. However when you really spend time to delve into each of the scenarios' questions and relate it to available answers, it demands serious understanding and application of the knowledge in TOGAF in order to figure out the best possible answer. The open book nature of the examination allows candidate to cross examine their answer, however only useful if only t...

| TOGAF Foundation |
| 2011-10-21 09:58:00 |
A long awaited first architect level certification of mine, though foundational level, serves as a catalyst to boost value for my employer and clients. It is not a tough paper to pass, comparing to its Part 2 brother. I listed the materials that I used for examination preparation below:TOGAF Version 9.0 documentation (Optional but recommended, especially if you are like me going for Part 2 soon)TOGAF 9.0 Foundation Study Guide (Sufficient to pass part 1 but hardly flying color)Misc. TOGAF 9.0 Summary documents (For understanding only)Few years of architecting experiences (Optional but useful for really understand TOGAF values)My score was 93% which is aligned with my usual passing standard. I think preparation works for Part 2 would be more interesting because it requires drilling deep int...

| Making sure XBRL kissing and not kicking you! |
| 2011-10-13 02:07:00 |
During the course of my professional career, may it be in business or information technology, I have seen and heard innumerable hypes and promises of disrupting standards, paradigms, solutions and technology advancements. Usually, mega-vendors with plentiful of marketing capital will succeed in planting seeds to gain buy-in and yet losing momentum when the trend reaching a critical mass of demystification and finally the bubble busted and they move on to another vicious cycle of hype-high-haunt. History is likely to repeat itself and what businesses can do to protect their valuable capitals is to put in the right perspective and context in understanding the impact and risk in adopting certain approach to meet competitive advantage demand, market pressures, regulatory (BNM NSRS ISS) require...

Does Cognitive Dissonance ring a bell to you? It may be or not but it sure be wise and beneficial to know about it. If H. sapiens is one of a kind of species that is complex and sophisticated enough to establish its dictatorship over this planet, it could imply a deeper understanding of it exerts a more powerful grasp over our own survival than a variety of other technological advances.In layman chats about human behavioural predictions, we hear assertions that it is usually impossible or technically impractical to accurately predict how a person will behave given a set of constantly changing parameters such as environmental, emotional, intentional and so and so. How true is that?Recent advancement in the fields of psychology signifies nothing but only the greater chasm we have to fully co...

| A less wonderful life for bankers - Jimmy Stewart is Dead |
| 2010-03-27 05:18:00 |
A less wonderful life for bankersReview by Martin Sandbu Jimmy Stewart is DeadBy Laurence KotlikoffWiley ($27.95)A reader of Jimmy Stewart is Dead could be forgiven for thinking that its author is an angry young man. The book describes the financial crisis in prose of populist wrath that would not be out of place in the “tea party” movement. It parades a procession of villains, from deposed Wall Street titans to Uncle Sam himself, and sends them packing in verbal tar and feathers.In fact, the author is Laurence Kotlikoff, a Boston University professor whose research record extends to such rarefied topics as Ricardian non-equivalence in strategic altruism. But here his tone is more the agitator’s than the academic’s as he explains “in plain English and simple terms the big con und...

| Breakfast, The Happy Meal |
| 2010-03-16 08:48:00 |
By Sakina MohamedKUALA LUMPUR, March 15 (Bernama) -- Want to know the secret to a smarter, happier and slimmer you? Eat breakfast!Many people do not realise this, but eating the first meal of the day is vital in helping them think, feel and even look better. It also sets the tone for the rest of the day."Recent studies indicate that people who eat breakfast regularly enjoy a more positive attitude, and they are slimmer and have better mental performance," says Nestle Malaysia's Nutritionist Cher Siew Wei to Bernama.This is because our body uses sugar, or glucose, in the blood for energy. When we wake up, our blood sugar level is low because we've been fasting overnight. So, eating a nutritious and balanced breakfast helps to provide enough energy to kick-start the day.BREASFAST BRINGS POSI...
