...Conveyor belt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about industrial conveyor belts. For information on the global flow of sea currents, see Thermohaline circulation. Point of contact between a power transmission belt and its pulley. A conveyor belt uses a wide belt and pulleys and is supported by rollers or a flat pan along its path. These conveyor structures contain belts for moving bulk sulfur from railcars to storage piles and from the piles to ships. A conveyor belt (or belt conveyor) consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler. There are two main industrial classes of belt conveyors; Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material handling such as those used to transport industrial and agricultural materials, such as grain, coal, ores, etc. generally in outdoor locations. Generally companies providing general material handling type belt conveyors do not provide the conveyors for bulk material handling. In addition there are a number of commercial applications of belt conveyors such as those in grocery stores. The belt consists of one or more layers of material. They can be made out of rubber. Many belts...

...A file system (filesystem) is means to organize data expected to be retained after a program terminates by providing procedures to store, retrieve and update data, as well as manage the available space on the device(s) which contain it. A file system organizes data in an efficient manner and is tuned to the specific characteristics of the device. There is usually a tight coupling between the operating system and the file system. Some filesystems provide mechanisms to control access to the data and metadata. Insuring reliability is a major responsibility of a filesystem. Some filesystems provide a means for multiple programs to update data in the same file nearly at the same time. Without a filesystem programs would not be able to access data by file name or directory and would need to be able to directly access data regions on a storage device. File systems are used on data storage devices such as magnetic storage disks or optical discs to maintain the physical location of the computer files. They may provide access to data on a file server by acting as clients for a network protocol (e.g., NFS, SMB, or 9P clients), or they may be virtual and exist only as an access method for virtual data (e.g., procfs). This is distinguished from a directory service and registry. Types of file systems Disk file systems A disk file system takes advantages of the ability to randomly address data on a disk storage media in a short amount of time. Additional considerations include the...

...Sub: Malegam Committee Recommendations Have One Fatal Flaw & Raise Many Difficult Questions – An Immediate Corrective Action Is Needed THIS IS AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL CONCERNED WITH THIS MATTER From: Dr. Ramesh Bellamkonda Managing Director BSS Microfinance Private Limited, Bangalore. (The Opinions Expressed Here Are Solely Those Of The Author) One Fatal Flaw In Malegam Committee Recommendations: 1. Summary Recommendation 10, (11.12 (c)), that says “Field staff should not be allowed to make recovery at the place of residence or work of the borrower and all recoveries should only be made at the Group level at a central place to be designated” is a recommendation that is absolutely fatal to microfinance. If adopted, this will be a “Death Sentence”, nothing short. If this recommendation is adopted by the regulator, a ll that a borrower has to do to not repay, is to stop coming to the central designated place of collection of repayment. If the MFI staff go to borrowers‟ homes or work places in such a circumstance, the MFI staff would have violated the applicable regulations and the borrowers or others around them can call the police and have such MFI staff arrested. In a relatively short time, people will figure out how to not repay MFI loans. Some borrowers or their families or their neighbours or third parties will surely want to exercise this o ption. Once exercised by some people here and there, this would have an extremely contagious effect on just about...

...16 Major Firms May Have Received Early Data From Thomson Reuters September 5, 2:25 PM ET |ByMatt Taibbi Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog#ixzz2fI9gEBD3 Follow us: @rollingstone on Twitter | RollingStone on Facebook Readers may recall an ugly story that broke earlier this summer, when New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman rebuked the news/business information firm Thomson Reuters for selling access to key economic survey data two seconds early to high-frequency algorithmic traders. The story strongly suggested that some Thomson Reuters customers were using their two-second head start (an eternity in the modern world of computerized trading) to front-run the markets. "The early release of market-moving survey data undermines fair play in the markets," Schneiderman said, back in the second week of July. Thomson Reuters suspended the practice of selling two-second head starts after Schneiderman insisted upon a change. Still, the firm defiantly refused to declare the change permanent and insisted that it had the right to "legally distribute non-governmental data" to "fee-paying subscribers." It turns out that there's more to the story. Back in June, journalist Simone Foxman at the global economic site Quartz reported that in addition to the two-second head start some Thomson Reuters customers were getting on the release of the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers, other customers may have been getting their data even earlier...

...Definition of 'Hot Money'1. Money that flows regularly between financial markets as investors attempt to ensure they get the highest short-term interest rates possible. Hot money will flow from low interest rate yielding countries into higher interest rates countries by investors looking to make the highest return. These financial transfers could affect the exchange rate if the sum is high enough and can therefore impact the balance of payments. 2. Stolen money that is marked so as as to be traceable. | | Investopedia explains 'Hot Money'1. Banks usually attract "hot money" by offering relatively short-term certificates of deposit that have above-average interest rates. As soon as the institution reduces interest rates or another institution offers higher rates, investors with "hot money" withdraw their funds and move them to another institution with higher rates. 2. Hot money might have been involved in a robbery and tracked through dye marks on each bill or through recorded serial numbers. | Definition of 'Foreign Exchange Intervention'A monetary policy tool in which a central bank takes an active participatory role in influencing the monetary funds transfer rate of the national currency. Central banks, especially those in developing countries, intervene in the foreign exchange market in order to build reserves, stabilize the exchange rate and to correct misalignments. The success of foreign exchange intervention depends on how the central bank sterilizes the...

...ĐỀ TÀI: GIAO TIẾP TRONG MÔI TRƯỜNG CÔNG TY LỜI MỞ ĐẦU Con người luôn phải hòa nhập, gắn mình và tồn tại trong một môi trường xã hội để giao tiếp với người khác, khẳng định được cái riêng của mình. Giao tiếp ứng xử là cách phổ biến nhất trong hoạt động sống, vì trong mọi trường hợp ai cũng phải làm việc và mưu cầu thông qua, với người khác. Chúng ta giao tiếp, trao đổi với bạn bè về các vấn đề xã hội, công việc, học tập; giao tiếp với vợ chồng về con cái, cuộc sống, chi tiêu trong gia đình và những dự định về tương lai. Tuy nhiên trong môi trường công ty, việc giao tiếp và trao đổi là cả một nghệ thuật, nó không chỉ là sự kết hợp khéo léo trong giao tiếp mà là cả sự điều hòa ở bản thân mỗi người. Làm sao để tạo cho mình một môi trường thật thoải mái trong suốt tám giờ đồng hồ làm việc? Tuy nhiên cơ sở lâu dài của việc xây dựng các quy tắc giao tiếp, ứng xử trong nội bộ doanh nghiệp còn tuỳ thuộc vào văn hóa tổ chức và các cơ chế cạnh tranh về lợi ích mà doanh nghiệp đã áp dụng như thế nào. Việc sử dụng người như thế nào, coi cái gì là quan trọng trong đối nhân xử thế của các nhà lãnh đạo doanh nghiệp là tác nhân trực tiếp để hình thành nên mối quan hệ bằng hữu, thân ái tin cậy nhau trong nội bộ tổ chức. Suy cho cùng giao tiếp ứng xử không những là những câu nói, cử chỉ mang tính xã giao, mà phải chứa đựng trong bản chất và mục tiêu của nó là sự thúc đẩy hợp tác hướng vào công việc. I.
