The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Wipro in September 2011.
Wipro came to our college for campus recruitments...The recruitment consisted of the following phases:- Presentation followed by an aptitude test..then Technical round finally HR round. The aptitude test was little difficult considering the time constraint. questions were divided into sections such as english, maths(quantitative aptitude), and technical (C, data structures, digital electonics, microprocessor related questions) well it was good . I attempted maximum no of questions within the given time limit....I cleared it The next day started with the technical round.For a lot of candidates difficult questions were asked in this round. For non CS students it was tough to answer such questions as these questions were asked mainly from the subjects of CS.....but for me the technical round was a cakewalk. Maybe the interviewer was impressed by my positive attitude and so he didn't bother me with hardcore technical stuff, instead he focused on areas like my project work and why I wanted to work in the IT industry......these type of questions only were asked ..it was very cool...I came out of the room feeling confident.....next was the HR round. It was just for formality. few basic HR questions were asked. Finally when the names of selected candidates were being announced my name was there.....

It was a beautiful day,you decided, the sakura were in bloom and it was perfect weather for a nice sun bathing nap. You flicked your tail happily as you walked around your master's house heading for the garden ready to have a nice relaxing day full of naps. Little did you know, two red feline eyes were following your every move.
You finally made it to your napping spot, you quickly curled up and proceeded to fall asleep. Across the garden 2P!Japancat watched you sleep with a plan forming in his devious little head. He liked you very much, but you refused to acknowledge his feelings time and time again, he wanted you whether you liked it or not. 2P!Japancat quietly padded over to your napping spot and looked down into your peacefully sleeping face, he had hoped for you to love him as he did you but you simply refused to, thinking he was evil as everyone had said. Those male cats always wanting _____ for themselves, always getting in the way of their future. He growled at the thought of

You sadly smiled to yourself as you walked away from your new friend 2P!Chinacat, he was so like you it was uncanny. You had always been alone; no friends and your owner couldnt care less about you, you were just there for decoration.
You wore a mask of happiness around others so they wouldnt look down on you, always faking everything you did, you just wanted love. You hoped 2P!Chinacat could bring you that love, as you would bring him love just the same.
You decided that you would see him tomorrow at the same place. Soon enough day rolled around and you were off to find your kitty friend.
You spotted him on the corner looking around expectantly Hes so cute you thought to yourself as you trotted behind him. He didnt seem to notice your presence so you just sat down and assessed him.

"Bella, wake up~" 2P!Itacat purred into the ear of the sleeping female in his bed, she didn't seem to want to wake though."Principessa if you don't wake up soon I'll let 2P!Germouser near you~" that was an empty threat on his part though, NO ONE would ever come near his precious _____ ever again, he gazed down at his beautiful _____ with her (HAIR COLOR) fur and cute little whiskers.
2P!Itacat could not recall a time where he had ever felt such emotions in his furry chest, this female made him want to do things like take care of kittens.The notion scared him a little on how deeply he could feel for a stray female he had only seen this morning, he knew he would never let her go now.
You were having sweet dreams of tuna and your savior 2P!Itacat, you had only just met him but you owed your life to him already.You heard him purr in her ear, but didn't want to wake just yet.In fact you felt more at ease here than you ever had, even when you had been at your old home, as long as 2P!Itacat w

You wandered down the allies of some ratty neighborhood trying to scrounge up food for the night. Your owner had abandoned you for some unknown reason, so you were forced to make it on your own, constantly getting harassed by the stray female cats who disliked your very existence. You trotted up to a trashcan fishing about, just looking for any scrap when you hit the mother load in the form of a full open can of tuna.
You quickly grabbed it making a sprint for your little "home" if you could even call the cardboard box that. You were in the final stretch to your box when you heard a familiar growl behind you, "Ohhhhh _______, now I know I told you to stay out of our territory, your scaring off all the male cats with your ugliness" you turned around to see the flock of female cat floozies stalking toward you with haughty looks on their kitty faces.
You cringed and tried to hide the can, knowing they'd probably almost kill you and take your food, but to no avail."_____! You have tuna? Ha

It had been a week since your encounter with the oddly flamboyant 2P!Romanocat and you couldnt get the cat out of your mind. Something about him left an imprint on you, making you want to change for some reason.
Lately you had wanted to become presentable and pretty like the females you had seen other male cats chase, you tried to groom your matted (h/c) fur so it would look shiny and fluffy next time 2P!Romanocat came around.
What are you thinking _____? you mumbled to yourself as you looked at your refection in a dirty puddle, He would NEVER like you, he likes those designer like females and there is no way hed even come back Looking sadly at your reflection you shook your furry head and turned around to run straight into the blonde cat who had plagued your thoughts many a night.
Hello there bella, can I have your name? 2p!Romanocat asked gently as he stared at you warily as if expecting you to slice him up, you took a deep breath and s

Thunder boomed as the rain started to pour down around a certain red eyed Chinese cat. "Why do I even bother?" 2p!Chinacat sighed as he walked alone as usual. Everyone had left him even his own kin had fled him as soon as they were able to, he only wanted someone to be there with him but it was always the same rejections again and again.
The dark brown cat walked down the road until he reached his house where he slipped inside to sit by his master; at least he had some form of company. 2P!Chinacat sighed as he began to lay his head down, and wondered if cats could cry.
Day soon came and 2P!Chinacat once again trudged out of the house to the outside world. He passed all the allies cats on his way, all with their special girl kitty, and he felt the hole in him open even wider.
He rounded the corner and sprinted into an ally where he could wallow by himself, he couldn't bear the sight of the happiness the others had when he had no one and nothing. He was so busy trying to not

Ugh ever since 2P!Americat had destroyed your toy, he had been following you around and bugging the living fur balls out of you. At first it was once a week he showed up but now it was every moment of every day, your master had kicked his furry butt out several times but he would just waltz right back in a moment later.It was starting to scare you, once he even crawled into your basket and slept with you,as soon as you woke up though you made him eat his own tail.

After he recognized the scent to be yours the bored cat started to destroy the toy,little did he know that the toy he was tearing up was your absolute favorite toy.
After he had completely and utterly destroyed your toy he turned around to leave and ran straight into your face."2P!Americat, why did you destroy my toy?" you asked with rising anger in your kitty claws. He did a double take before he regained his usual smirk and responded with an arrogant flick of his tail "Because I felt like it ______, it's fun to destroy things" He started to saunter out the cat door when he heard a low growl, "

"Mien gott, I'm bored" said a very gruff looking 2P!Germouser as he walked around the dull and soundless house. His friends in the Axis were to busy with their own kitty girlfriends to hang out with him anymore, he wanted to find himself his own kitty but every time he goes near any females the good ones run away and the trash sleazes on him. To be honest he was pretty lonely; no friends and his brother was in a constant state of depression leaving himself to his lonesome.
2P!Germouser exited his house and trotted down the street towards the spot where all the females meet up, hoping to snare one for himself today. He rounded the corner and peeked over to the spot where the females had gathered when a female captured his entire concentration as she trotted around the group.

It was a day just like any other. Americat was, although not meaning to, beating you up. His games were way to rough for a delicate kitty like you. And when he told you to stop he didn't, he just didn't seem to understand that you weren't a strong cat like him.
The 'games' were getting worse and worse as the cold war went on. Americat told you you had to be ready in case you were attacked and his 'games' got tougher and tougher until you couldn't take it anymore.
You ran away.
Ran away from Loudmouth and Americat. It was freezing outside, before you were never allowed outside and were bred for an indoor cat's life. But desperate times called for desperate measures.
You mewed pitifully as you bumped into something hard. It was a large brown cat with lots of fur. "Please don't hurt me."

The three bigger cats laughed at you, "What are you going to do about stray?"
"Please," you whimpered again cowering in the corner. "I didn't do anything."
"You're here aren't you?" asked the biggest one.
You started to cry. You didn't want to become a stray. Your master had thrown you out a few days ago for no reason other than the big mean cat down the street had raped you and now you had kittens.
Desperately you had stolen food to keep you and the babies alive. If you were to die now, so close to your due date, it would all have been for nothing.
"Hey, reave her arone!" shouted a black and white cat. The three big cats took one look at the cat and ran off. "Are you aright?"
You squeaked, "Please help." And then collapsed from exhaustion.
When you woke up you found that the strange cat that had saved you was still there. "You're awake."
"Thank you for not leaving me," you whispered.

You stared intently at the ball infront of you, it was mostly white with red stitching. You gave it a swat and it simply moving in that direction, walking around it you swatted it again. You were a very curious kitten and you always saw the tan guy hit these with that spikey stick of his. The tan man walked over and picked up the ball, he threw it up an caught it in his hand.
"Mew" you mewed at his feet, purring and rubbing your head against his legs. He was a giant to you, he picked you up carefully and stroked your head.
"Hello lil squirt" He said, your Daddy told you to be nice to him, you couldn't help but knock things over sometimes running around. You were purring loudly when he set you down, shaking your head you ran off. He grabbed his stick and left, your Daddy came down the stairs and sat by the water bowl.
"Daddy! Daddy!" you meowed scampering over to him, sliding slightly on the floor.
"Yes lil squirt" he called you thesame nickname as the

You looked around at the groups of cats. So many to chose from....
This was going to be a hard choice too. All of them were so cute!
You watched as a little beige cat with a brown riffle of fur around its neck raced around the room, jumping over a rather annoyed looking Scottish fold.
Something brushed your leg making you jump in surprise. A fluffy long-haired cat looked up at you, it's long white hair brushing the floor.
"Hi kitty." It meowed, blinking up at you. Crouching down you patted it on the head, while looking around.
So many frickin' cats!!
A little shape in the corner of the room caught your attention.
It was a small black and white cat. He just sat there looking at the ground while the other cats romped around him. It had to be one of the cutest sights you had ever seen.
"Um." You stood up, "Is that one up for adoption?"
Elizabeta pursed her lips, "Are you sure about that one? He's not very social."

I wrote earlier about my variation on this recipe. It is supposed to sit for a few days before serving. I tested one everyday, just to make sure they were all right. They are potent the first few days and do mellow out. This recipe makes plenty for friends and family to enjoy!
I forgot about making these this year until someone remembered them and requested the recipe. I used toasted coconut, ground almonds and dried berries soaked in brandy in place of pecans and raisins. I rolled them in organic turbinado raw cane sugar (from Trader Joe's).
I have been making these Rum Ball for years! They are one of my most requested holiday treats!

NIH-funded researchers extend liver preservation for transplantation
Livers successfully stored for three days in animal study
Researchers have developed a new supercooling technique to increase the amount of time human organs could remain viable outside the body. This study was conducted in rats, and if it succeeds in humans, it would enable a world-wide allocation of donor organs, saving more lives.

The research is supported by National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK), both parts of the National Institutes of Health.
The first human whole organ transplant 60 years ago — a living kidney transplant — changed the landscape of the medical world. Since then, transplants of skin, kidneys, hearts, lungs, corneas, and livers have become commonplace but due to a shortage of donor organs, more than 120,000 patients are still on waitlists for organ transplantation in the United States alone.
Current technology can preserve livers outside the body for a maximum of 24 hours using a combination of cold temperatures and a chemical solution developed by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983. The solution helps keep the liver tissue from dying while in transit to the recipient site. This has helped increase the number of successful liver transplants — but extending even further the time a liver can survive outside the body would provide many benefits. It would allow for more time to prepare the patient and ease logistics at the donor hospital site, reduce the urgency of rushing the organ to its destination, and expand the donation area to allow for transcontinental and intercontinental transplantations — thus increasing the chances of patients finding better matches while simultaneously significantly reducing costs.
The difficulty with long-term preservation of human organs stems mostly from the extensive tissue damage that occurs when organs are cryopreserved, frozen at temperatures of -320.8 degrees Fahrenheit. While successful for single cells and simple tissues, the problem is exacerbated with whole organs because of the multiple cell types and other structures that react differently to cold. To combat these problems, Martin Yarmush, M.D., Ph.D., and Korkut Uygun, Ph.D., investigators in the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston, have developed a four-step preservation technique that has tripled the amount of time that rat livers can be stored before transplantation.
In the June 19 online issue of Nature Medicine, the researchers describe their process. The first step is to employ the use of machine perfusion — a way of delivering oxygen and nutrients to capillaries in biological tissues while outside the body — to supercool the liver tissue without causing irreversible damage to the cells. In order to accomplish this, the MGH team added 3-OMG (3-O-methyl-D-glucose), a non-toxic, modified glucose compound, to the solution being delivered to the liver. The 3-OMG is taken up and because it cannot be metabolized by cells, accumulates in the hepatocytes (liver cells), acting as a protectant against the cold. The team also modified the solution by adding PEG-35kD (polyethylene glycol) to specifically protect cell membranes. Ethylene glycol is the active ingredient in anti-freeze, and it works by lowering the freezing point of a solution.
The livers were then slowly cooled below the freezing point, to 21 degrees Fahrenheit, without inducing freezing — thereby supercooling the organ for preservation. After storing the organs for several days, the researchers again used machine perfusion to rewarm the organ, while also delivering oxygen and other nutrients to prepare the organ for transplantation.
Using this new technique, the researchers were able to store the supercooled rat livers for three days (72 hours) and four days (96 hours) at 21 degrees Fahrenheit. All the rats who had supercooled livers stored for three days survived three months, but none of the rats who had transplants using current methods did. The survival rate for animals receiving livers stored for four days was 58 percent. When testing to see if all the steps in their method were essential, the researchers found that if they eliminated the supplemental components PEG-35kD or 3-OMG, none of the rats survived for even a week. If they did not use machine perfusion or supercooling, death occurred within an hour of transplantation.

"The next step will be to conduct similar studies in larger animals," said Rosemarie Hunziker, Ph.D., program director of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine at NIBIB. "It is exciting to see such an achievement in small animals, by recombining and optimizing existing technology. The main point here is that using all of these approaches at once was what led to success. Halfway measures did not do. Such a tour de force reflects this team's very deep understanding of the complex processes at work here, and how they relate simultaneously to each other."
The process must go through extensive testing and refinement before it could be considered for use in humans. But the technique's achievement in being the first method to have a successful survival rate after the livers had been stored for three days and possible potential for four-day storage has broad implications for the future of liver transplantation.
"The longer we are able to store donated organs, the better the chance the patient will find the best match possible, with both doctors and patients fully prepared for surgery," said Hunziker. "This is a critically important step in advancing the practice of organ storage for transplantation."
Among the researchers contributing to this project are Tim Berendsen, M.D., who performed the transplants, and Bote Bruinsma, an M.D., PhD. student at University of Amsterdam conducting his graduate studies with Drs. Yarmush and Uygun. The team was comprised of 10 engineers, scientists and surgeons at the Center for Engineering in Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Boston.

Barack Obama Wants Every Sports Team To Win World Series
Barack Obama is in a pickle! Much like his best friend, Hillary Clinton, Obama has found himself supporting multiple baseball teams that he doesn't like at all in order to win evil blood money "swing state" votes. He claims he is first a "White Sox" fan, which was clearly a pander to all white people who despise him, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. But after the White Sox were no longer in contention for the Baseball Championship, he told Pennsylvania voters that he wanted the loser Philadelphia Phillies to win everything. And today he muslimly told Florida voters that he wanted the Tampa Bay "Rays" to win everything. This pirouetting, like most bad things in life, can all be blamed on the Boston Red Sox.

Occurrence of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in Lake Maggiore (Italy and Switzerland)
ABSTRACT Samples of air (gas and particulate phases), bulk deposition, aquatic settling material and sediments were collected in Lake Maggiore (LM) in order to determine their content of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Air (gas and particulate phases) concentrations were 0.5 pg m(-3), 80 pg m(-3), 13 pg m(-3) and 106 pg m(-3) for SigmaPCDD/Fs, SigmaPCBs, Sigma dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs) and SigmaPBDEs, respectively. Deposition fluxes ranged from 0.7 ng m(-2) d(-1) for SigmaPCDD/Fs to 32 ng m(-2) d(-1) for SigmaPCBs. Aquatic settling material presented concentrations of 0.4 ng g(-1) dry weight (dw) for SigmaPCDD/Fs, 13 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaPCB, 3.4 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaDL-PCBs and 5.7 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaPBDEs. Mean sediment concentrations were 0.4 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaPCDD/Fs, 11 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaPCB, 3 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaDL-PCBs and 5.1 ng g(-1) dw for SigmaPBDEs. Similar PCDD/F and DL-PCB congener patterns in all the environmental compartments of LM point to an important, if not dominant, contribution of atmospheric deposition as source of these pollutants into LM. In contrast, PBDE congener distribution was not similar in the different environmental compartments. BDE 47 dominated air and settling material, while BDE 209 was the predominant congener in the bulk atmospheric deposition. Moreover, sediments showed two distinct PBDE congener profiles. Lower PBDE concentrated sediments were dominated by congeners 47 and 99, while BDE 209 dominated in higher PBDE concentrated samples. This suggests the influence of local sources as well as atmospheric input of PBDEs into LM.

- "Recent research using multimedia models concludes that low and intermediate brominated BDEs have a comparable potential of Arctic accumulation to hexa-and hepta-chlorinated biphenyls (Wania and Dugani, 2003). Therefore, the study of PBDEs in Arctic sediments is a step towards evaluating their possible source and exposure pathways (Vives et al., 2007). However, data concerning the concentrations of such persistent pollutants, especially PBDEs, in sediments from the Arctic are still scarce, although there are limited reports about PBDEs in the High Arctic Canadian archipelago, and the Norwegian and Russian Arctic (Bakke et al., 2008; de Wit et al., 2010; Evenset et al., 2007; Jiao et al., 2009; Stern and Evans, 2003; Stern et al., 2005). "
Dataset: Distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and decabromodiphenylethane in surface sediments from the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Canada Basin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 24 surface sediment samples were collected from the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Canada Basin during the 3rd Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition in July–September 2008. To obtain information on the levels, spatial distribution, possible sources, and influences of total carbon and black carbon, we analyzed the samples for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and decabromodiphenylethane (DBDPE). Concentrations of P PBDEs (hereafter, P PBDEs refers to the sum of all detected PBDE congeners without BDE-209), BDE-209, and DBDPE were in the ranges 3.58–148.95 pg/g d.w. (dry weight), n.d. À 804.91 pg/g d.w. and n.d. À 452.57 pg/g d.w., respectively. The congener patterns of PBDEs suggested that BDE-209 was the major congener in these areas, followed by BDE-99 and À 47, which was consistent with the predominance of technical deca-BDE mixtures in the dominant technical PBDE mixtures. The significant relationships of BDE-209, -47, and -99 and total PBDEs with total organic carbon and black carbon, as well as the skewed distribution of P PBDEs and BDE-209, indicated that atmospheric deposition and local discharge might be potential sources in this area, and the distribution pattern may be the combined effect of multiple factors.
- "Active sampling PBDEs levels in Europe are in general within the same range as passive sampling levels (Table 1). The highest PBDEs concentrations were found in an urban-industrial site (Thau lagoon) of France (204 pg m À3 ; Castro-Jiménez et al., 2011), while 106 pg m À3 were found in the Lake Maggiore area, northwest of the industrialized area of Milan, Italy (Vives et al., 2007). PBDE levels reported for North America vary from 5 up to more than 100 pg m À3 . "
Article: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the indoor and outdoor environments - A review on occurrence and human exposure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) constitute an important group of brominated flame retardants that have been massively produced and extensively used in numerous everyday products, providing longer escape times in case of fire and thus saving lives, as well as reducing the damage of property. In recent years, PBDEs have been recognized as significant pollutants of the indoor environment. This article provides a synthesis and critical evaluation of the state of the knowledge about the occurrence of PBDEs in the indoor environment (air and dust in homes, workplaces and cars) in different countries in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, as well as about the human exposure via indoor air inhalation and dust ingestion in comparison to outdoor air inhalation and dietary intake.Environmental Pollution 05/2012; 169:217-29.

Article: Atmospheric concentrations, occurrence and deposition of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in a Mediterranean coastal site (Etang de Thau, France)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Atmospheric concentrations and deposition fluxes of PCDD/F and PCB have been evaluated over a 1-year period in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon (Etang de Thau, France). Indicative PBDE air concentrations in the hot season are also reported in this work. ∑2,3,7,8-PCDD/Fs and ∑18PCBs (gas+particulate) air concentrations ranged from 67 to 1700 fg m(-3) and from 13 to 95 pg m(-3), respectively whereas ∑8PBDEs (gas+particulate) summer time levels varied from 158 to 230 pg m(-3). The PCDD/F and PCB atmospheric occurrence over Thau lagoon and subsequent inputs to the surface waters are determined by an assemble of factors, being the seasonality of atmospheric concentration, the air mass origin and meteorological conditions important drivers.

Ducati Hypermotard 1100 2008 Goldfren Rear GP-5 Disc Brake Pads
One set required.
The GP series is optimal for road racing. Its recommended for riders who demand the best feel and stopping power on the race track. These brake pads are designed for faster bedding and high performance even under the heaviest braking conditions.
The GP series is designed for low abrasive interaction with the rotor high brake power and a much quieter braking because the ceramic composite material. The GP series feature a stainless-steel heat shield for thermal isolation.
This sintered compound contains sophisticated metal-ceramic friction materials specially formulated and designed for race use.
- Very high static friction coefficient
- Low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material
- Specially modification braking surface
- Application of heat isolation from back side
- Minimal difference between wet and dry braking performance
- Good abrasive resistance
- Thermal stability up to 550°C and even up to 800°C over a short term
- Continuous braking effect
- Stainless steel heat shield for thermal isolation on the rear pads
- Track racing motorcycles
- It can be used on both front a rear brakes. Recommended on front brakes
- Works well on both dry and wet conditions
- Specific pressure: p < 50 Mpa
- Sliding speed: V < 30 m/s
- Constant maximum temp.: 550°C
- Short time maximum temp.: 800°C
- Counter-surfaces: steel disks
- All the GOLDfren brake pads are made with sintered metal-ceramic and ceramic-carbon friction materials
- Sintered brake pads offer no brake fade when operating at high temperatures and in wet conditions
- Sintered brake pads provide superior stopping power and longer life compared to other brake pad types such as: carbon organic organic or semi-metallic organic
- Sintered brake pads are made by fusing together metallic particles under high temperatures and pressure using a pressed powdered-metal technology
- GOLDfren is a pioneer in sintering using advanced and progressive powder metallurgy methods
- Designed for both wet and dry applications
- Sintered brake pads deliver exceptional braking performance and durability under the most demanding conditions
- All the materials used are lead and asbestos free
- GOLDfren? is the brand for high-end quality aftermarket performance disc brakes
- The sintered friction material is soldered to the copper lined steel backing plate hence separation (which can happen with organic pads) is virtually impossible
- Replacement of brake pads should be done in dry clean conditions and preferably by a professionally qualified person. If the friction material comes in contact with oil or brake fluid and the liquid soaks into the pores of the friction material a catastrophic decrease in friction coefficient (braking performance) could occur
- Please beware that sintered brake pads require a bed-in period after installation. Allow some extra braking distance during the bed-in period.
- Braking performance is significantly influenced by the quality of the braking surface of the Disc rotor; also by the age and quality of the brake fluid and by the correct choice of complementary type of brake pad
- To achieve the perfect brake effect we recommend using GOLDfren brake pads in conjunction with GOLDfren rotors and brake lines because of its excellent quality common friction properties
- Brake with the products developed by GOLDfren?
Braking effects are affected by a range of factors:
The condition and age of the brake fluid; the condition of the brake caliper; the condition and quality of the brake lines; the condition of the brake disk as well as the appropriate choice of the brake pad compound for the desired application and riding style.

What is the notion of civilizational or cultural "greatness" based on in the first place? The obnoxiously incessant repetition of the same tired phrases asserting some imagined chinese superiority over other cultures appears extremely ethnocentric or even downright racist to me.

Korean Pop culture plagiarized a lot from Japanese Pop culture and they have never mentioned that. Even it is Pop culture, the meaninglessness of their songs and movies made me uncomfortable. I really don't understand why my friends are becoming addicted to meaningless songs with a language they don't really know. Except the Pop culture, I really think Koreans are kind and friendly. 禹李http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-51660067331605319592014-10-17T03:36:54.890-04:002014-10-17T03:36:54.890-04:00I think Chinese and Korean are reflection of each ...I think Chinese and Korean are reflection of each others. We both hate Japanese for historical problem. But we also have lack of confidence to face the most developed country in the Asian. We hates each others for almost the same reason. We think Korean are copycat and has low dignity. In my Chinese international student community, many of my friends think Koreans are lower-educated, loud and self-centered. However, when I talk to my Korean friends, they have same feeling of Chinese. What I feel is that Chinese really should stop think that Korean culture is a subculture of Chinese, and Korean really should stop to build stereotypes from western movies(This comes from my personal story. One of my Korean friends asked me that were Chinese should like Ching Chong Ching Chong. Another asked me that were Chinese eating Chow Main everyday. I really don't know how to response them. They really helped me to build a stereotypes of Korean, childish American little brother). BTW I think the most of stereotypes of Chinese come from Chinese immigrants. The most of Chinese immigrants, I know in America, come from a pool area in China. In Chinese culture, motherland and hometown are externally important. The immigration would be the last choice for us. I don't want to say that, but I really think many Chinese immigrants are loser of the Chinese society. so can i say that the Chinese stereotypes are stereotypes for losers.....Nowadays, our culture become more and more western, we don't really think the immigration is for losers. The new Chinese immigrants really have some big differences with old immigrants. 禹李http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-87566838385058537802014-09-22T04:01:07.291-04:002014-09-22T04:01:07.291-04:00I have never heard of such thing till you mention ...I have never heard of such thing till you mention it. So I did a little research and it seems that Chinese government did have claim regarding the Ko-Gu-Rea, but instead of ripping apart from you and make it its own , it claimed to share the title to include it as part of our history, because apparently this Kingdom disappeared more than a thousand years ago and part of territory is now in China, so is part of its population back then?

My 100% Korean dad thought so also. I still do think that. I tell my Chinese girl friend that she is so beautiful, all the time I see her. How sexy she is (I'm straight, btw). I just love their almond shaped eyes and their facial bone structure. Also, being married to a Chinese-American man, and he is very sweet. I really think Chinese guys are hot, and the sweetest. Even though I'm Korean, I never preferred to date Korean men, because the ones I did meet were kind of "interesting". They were doctors and lawyers and other highly powerful positions, but they were trying to cheat on their wives with me, asking me to call them "Oppa" and such. Wow. They were also chain smoking and drinking a lot and hitting on me, even though I told them I was already married...they dismissed entirely what I said. The other times I was exposed to Korean guys was also very negative. He was marrying and they were dress shopping for his wife (his wife was there), and he was hitting on me while she went to change. Seriously? Wow. Low morals there, buddy.MelonMochihttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-21918651246122724302014-05-06T06:39:41.526-04:002014-05-06T06:39:41.526-04:00To continue, I remember growing up in America find...To continue, I remember growing up in America finding myself loving Chinese food. My Korean parents thought I was strange because of that. Wow, really? lols. To them, Chinese food was strange and weird, because they weren't used to it (they grew up in Korea). Well, I grew up in America, was I was exposed to so many different types of food. Italian, American, Chinese, Japanese..........the gamut.

Growing up in a very diverse society, I too became very diverse and accepting of many different cultures. I had black, white, Mexican, Canadian, Indian, French, Japanese, Chinese friends throughout high school. As I studied together and worked on projects with them for four years through H.S., I grew to truly love this diversity. In fact, I feel weird living in Korea right now where everyone is 99.9% Asian. Very strange feeling. You will never get to see just how exciting and fun it is to be friends with someone of a different culture than yours unless you try it out. I feel America's diversity is a very high positive for innovation and ideas.

I find this narrow-minded-ness in Korea understandable. They grew up in a country that is 99% Korean, so anyone that is different is probably an easy target to be made fun of. Like I said, hell though if I'm Korean-American, I am treated differently when I go back to visit. Yes, I speak fluent Korean. Doesn't matter - I am discriminated. When I speak English, I'm apparently "showing off", which is strange considering I'm American speaking my own language.

In America, I'm always asked by people (usually White), "Where are you from?" Hehe. When I explain, "I'm from Texas," then they say, "NO....I mean where are you REALLY from? Japanese? Chinese? Korean?" This is just funny to me. I may look Asian, but I can promise you, I am totally a White on the inside. I grew up in America, eating American foods, going to American schools, making American friends. I am no different, but I'm treated differently. So used to this that when I hear White people complaining about some small "racist" comment they experienced while traveling overseas, it's actually quite comical. I guess they're not used to racism yet.

In any case, I am married to a Chinese-American and I remember my Korean cousins not liking it. They were quick to dismiss my then-fiance, saying "Why would you marry Chinese when you could marry a Korean?" Same thing happened to my other Korean-American friend who married a Japanese-American. My friend also had problems with their Korean relatives, "Why Japanese when you could marry Korean?" Personally, I think this issue is from the Koreans' lack of diversity in their country. If they lived in a more diverse place like America, I'm sure they would've been more understanding. What they don't know, they probably fear, and base their judgements on popular stereotypes.

Luckily for all of us, the internet has brought us a means of communicating between different cultures without having to travel there. I think with the internet, people will become more appreciative of other cultures and more aware of racism. Perhaps one day, we can get rid of racism all together, and just recognize each other as one race - human being.MelonMochihttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-54829808178178235972014-05-06T06:19:06.350-04:002014-05-06T06:19:06.350-04:00I am Korean-American and married to a Chinese-Amer...I am Korean-American and married to a Chinese-American. I can tell you right now that Koreans living in Korea are just being nationalistic towards anyone not them, including Koreans that lived in a different country...like Korean-Chinese. Even when I live in Korea, I'm not "one of them" since I grew up in the states and act "strange" and "rude" with my American manners (Korean manners are very strict). At the same time, they often seem wary of me and not sure how to peg me into a hole...untrustworthy, different, unique. I, for example, love Japan. I have lots of Japanese friends ....in fact, all my friends are Japanese or Chinese or American. When I express my love of Japan to my relatives in Korea, they are quick to disapprove.

In America, I was subject to racism from White people, so I'm pretty used to it already. I find it funny that people complain about racism when visiting another country over the smallest of things, just because they're not used to it and have a thick hide like I do...then blame that entire country for being racist. Let's face it folks. Every country has racism. Accept it and move on.MelonMochihttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-19186112824244056552014-04-25T08:07:57.116-04:002014-04-25T08:07:57.116-04:00That is because even Korea now seldom uses Chinese...That is because even Korea now seldom uses Chinese characters, they use that in important things to divide different words with the same pronunciation such as their names which putted in identity cards and some documents for laws.And all the characters has its method to read in Mandarin Chinese,Korean Chinese know that obviously.In fact there is no difference between Korea names and Han Chinese names.Maybe Korean Chinese use some characters which is not very usual to be used in Korea to be their names.Junbei SHANGhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Geoffrey Canada, nationally recognized for his pioneering work helping children and families in Harlem and as a passionate advocate for education reform, will deliver the keynote address at Colgate University's 188th commencement exercises at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, May 17 in Sanford Field House.
During the ceremony, Colgate will award Canada a Doctor of Humane Letters honorary degree.
Canada is the president and CEO of the Harlem Children's Zone, an innovative, pioneering program that helps children succeed in school and life through a holistic system of education, social service and community-building programs.
His vision and energy have been instrumental in the success of the HCZ, and he is working with national leaders to bring the model to other cities. In 2005, US News and World Report named Canada one of "America's Best Leaders."
"Considered one of the most eminent minds in the non-profit realm, Mr. Canada has responded to difficult challenges by outfitting knowledge with a practical purpose," said Christopher Nulty, Colgate senior class president. "His is a story of innovation, of brilliance, and of passion -- and is undoubtedly someone whose wisdom will benefit the Class of 2009."
Along with Canada, 2009 honorary degree recipients include Melvyn Klein '63 as well as Lonnie Thompson and his wife Ellen Mosley-Thompson.
Klein is an entrepreneur, attorney, philanthropist and writer. After graduating from Colgate, he went to Columbia Law School before embarking on a successful career with Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette and founding GKH Partners, an investment company. President Ronald Reagan appointed Klein to the Grace Commission, which investigated waste and inefficiency in the Federal government.
