Tips Memelihara Kucing Kesayangan

Kucing (Felis catus) telah menyatu peradaban manusia selama ribuan tahun. Kucing pernah dipuja seperti dewa (seperti pada zaman Mesir kuno) dan juga pernah ditakuti karena hubungannya dengan nenek sihir atau hubungannya dengan setan (seperti Salem di Masschussetts selama pengadilan nenek sihir) Sekarang kita dapat melihat apa mereka sebenarnya. Hewan ini sangat responsif, pintar beradaptasi di berbagai lingkungan.

Kucing pernah dipuja seperti dewa (seperti pada zaman Mesir kuno) dan juga pernah ditakuti karena hubungannya dengan nenek sihir atau hubungannya dengan setan (seperti Salem di Masschussetts selama pengadilan nenek sihir) Sekarang kita dapat melihat apa mereka sebenarnya. Hewan ini sangat responsif, pintar beradaptasi di berbagai lingkungan.

Kucing dapat menjadi sahabat yang baik karena mereka relatif lebih mudah dipelihara dan memberikan kesenangan seumur hidup.

Memilih kepribadian
Dengan bertambahnya popularitas kucing sebagai hewan peliharaan muncul tanggung jawab untuk merawat mereka dengan baik. Tanggung jawab untuk memastikan bahwa mereka menerima makanan dengan benar, memiliki tempat tinggal yang baik dan mendapat perawatan oleh dokter hewan. Kucing dapat hidup sampai lima belas tahun lebih. Mereka memiliki kepribadian yang berbeda-beda. Ada yang senang menyendiri dan ada juga yang bersosialisasi. Mereka cenderung kena beberapa masalah kesehatan dan membutuhkan sedikit perawatan selain perawatan rutin.

Jaga nutrisinya
Kucing adalah karnivora yang artinya mereka membutuhkan sumber kandungan hewani seperti daging, ayam atau ikan dalam makanan mereka. Tidak ada makanan sayuran yang terbaik untuk kucing. Tanpa sumber hewani pada makanan mereka , mereka akan kekurangan nutrisi dan dapat membahayakan kehidupannya mereka.

Memilih kucing
Pada saat memilih makanan kucing, yang terbaik adalah memilih sesuai dengan umur kucing itu. Contohnya anak kucing seharusnya mendapat makanan anak kucing dan kucing dewasa mendapat makanan kucing dewasa. Dan juga untuk kucing yang keberatan badan dapat memanfaatkan makanan rendah kalori. Sangat penting untuk memilih makanan yang komplit dan nutrisi seimbang.

Susu bisa bikin mencret
Ada beberapa jenis makanan kucing yang tersedia: kering, setengah basah, dan kaleng. Pemilik kucing harus menyadari the kekurangan dan kelebihan setiap jenis ini lewat diskusi dengan dokter hewan. Air baru harus selalu tersedia. Sudah menjadi cerita lama bahwa kucing harus diberi susu tetapi justru sebaliknya susu dapat menyebabkan diare pada kucing.

Kucing sama seperti manusia
Setiap kucing sebaiknya dievaluasi secara rutin oleh dokter hewan yang sudah biasa dengan spesies ini. Kucing harus diperiksa untuk masalah kesehatan yang pontensial. Kucing cenderung mempunyai masalah yang sama dengan manusia. Kanker, penyakit ginjal, penyakit jantung dan sakit gigi pun bukan hal yang tidak biasa lagi. Sedini mungkin masalah ditemukan,dan ditanggulangi, kucing akan membalas dengan positif. Sebagai pemilik kucing, kita harus membantu menjaga kesehatan yang baik. Banyak kucing yang amenable untuk menyikat gigi secara rutin dengan pasta gigi kucing.

Hati-hati kutu
Mereka juga harus diperiksa untuk parasit yang sering menyerang kucing. Yang paling jelas ke pemilik adalah kutu telinga(earmites) atau kutu(flea). Meskipun ada yang tidak terlihat seperti beberapa jenis cacing usus yang bersarang di dalam perut kucing dan mengambil nutrisi yang berharga. Masalah ini harus dirawat dan banyak obat yang efektif yang tersedia di pasaran. Kucing yang diperbolehkan ke luar rumah akan jelas lebih cenderung kena oleh parasit ini, atau mungkin parasit ini telah berkembang di dalam rumah.

Perlu disterilkan
Umumnya, disarankan untuk kucing disterilkan dan juga disebut spay/steril untuk betina dan castrated/kebiri untuk jantan. Sterilisasi tidak hanya menolong dalam mengontrol anak kucing terbengkalai, tetapi juga mengurangi resiko masalah yang berhubungan dengan sistem peranakan dan masalah prilaku yang berhubungan dengan lawan jenis.

Kucing betina dewasa secara seksual umur 4 bulan
Kucing betina juga dipanggil ratu (queen), mereka umumnya mulai dewasa secara seksual antara 4 sampai 12 bulan. Betina yang tidak disterilkan/spayed dapat menghasilkan anak sampai delapan tahun atau lebih. Kucing jantan dipanggil tom, umum menjadi subur mulai dari 6 dan delapan bulan dan terus sampai 14 tahun atau lebih. Kebanyak dokter hewan menyarankan kucing untuk diseterilasi pada atau setelah enam bulan meskipun ada pertentangan dari beberapa individu tentang isu ini. Pemilik kucing yang tertarik akan hal iniharus konsultasi ke dokter hewan pada saat pertama kali pemerikasaan dan vaksinasi.

Penyakit kucing
Ada beberapa penyakit kucing untuk mendapat divaksinasi oleh dokter hewan. Feline rhinotracheitis, calici virus and panleukopenia(distemper) benar benar penyakit yang mematikan bagi kucing yang kena. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh virus yang mudah ditular dari kucing ke kucing. Berapa virus dapat terbawa oleh pakaian pemilik kucing pada saat merawat kucing sakit. Vaksin ini tersedia juga buat penyakit lainnya seperti rabies yang telah menjadi endemik di daerah tertentu. Maka dari itu sangat penting biarpun kucing dalam rumah untuk divaksinasi untuk penyakit ini. Ada beberapa vaksin tersedida untuk penyakit virus lainnya, feline leukemia dan feline infectious peritonitis yang sering diketemukan pada outdoor, kucing liar atau multi-cat household. Tetapi ini bukan berarti kucing indoor tidak akan mengidap penyakit ini. Tidak ada perawatan efektif untuk penyakit ini dan harus dicegah. Sangat penting untuk pemilik kucing menyadari ada banyak penyakit seperti feline immuno-deficiency virus infection dan pada saat kucing terkena penyakit ini, tidak ada vaksin atau obat tersedia saat ini.

Kucing sangat sensitif
Juga penting bagi pemilik kucing untuk mengerti bahwa kucing sangat sensitif terhadap beberapa obat dan produk dalam rumah. Kucing tidak memetabolisme aspirin seperti manusia dan hanya boleh dipakai dibawah pengawasan dokter hewan. Acetaminophen(yang ada di Tylenol) akan membunuh kucing dan percenaannya dalam keadaan darurat. Juga produk yang mengandung phenol seperti lysol tidak boleh dipakai di sekitar kucing karena metabolizing produk ini. Beberapa kucing suka antibeku(antifreeze). Antifreeze mengandung ethylene glycol dan jika dicerna akan menyebabkan gagal ginjal jika tidak dirawat secepatnya. Yang terbaik adalah tidak memakai produk yang diragukan di sekitar kucing sampai anda telah mengeceknya dengan authority. Juga kucing sering makan tanaman, sebagian dapat beracun bagi kucing. Jadi lebih baik memberi mereka sprouteed feed oats untuk cemilan pada waktu mereka lagi mau merumput.

Kucing suka yang mirip tali
Kucing sering tertarik kepada barang-barang yang menyerupai tali, mereka akan memakan jarum dan benang, karet gelang dan material serupa. Beberapa kucing juga tertarik pada kabel-kabel listrik. Maka dari itu, sangat penting untuk menjauhkan ini dari lingkungan kucing, atau usahakan untuk mengurangi kedayatarikan mereka terhadap kabel-kabel itu. Pembersihan rutin mempromosikan prilaku sanitasi yang baik. Pemilik kucing juga harus memberi batas-batas untuk kucing mereka. Jika mereka tidak diperbolehkan di ruangan tertentu atau menajamkan kuku mereka di mebel atau kursi, ini harus dipupuk dilatihi sejak pertama kali kucing itu dipelihara. Lebih mudah untuk mencegah masalah daripada merubah prilaku yang sudah menjadi kebiasaan.

Network Troubleshooting

2009-04-10T17:27:00.000-07:00

Network Troubleshooting

Sebelum kita melakukan troubleshooting pada jaringan dan menggunakan beberapa toolnya (alat software/hardware), ada baiknya kita memahami apa itu Network Troubleshooting. Network troubleshooting dapat diartikan sebagai cara atau teknik mengenal (recognizing) dan mendiagnosa (diagnosing) masalah-masalah jaringan dengan tujuan untuk menjaga agar jaringan kita tetap berjalan dengan normal.

Sebagai seorang administrator jaringan, teknisi jaringan, dan spesialis jaringan, perhatian utama kita adalah memelihara konektivitas dari semua perangkat jaringan (dalam sebuah proses biasanya kita sebut fault management). Kita juga secara rutin dan berkelanjutan haruslah mengevaluasi dan >meningkatkan kinerja jaringan. Karena terkadang masalah-masalah jaringan yang serius dapat mengindikasikan masalah kinerja dari sebuah jaringan sehingga dengan perhatian yang lebih serius dapat membantu kita mengetahuiny lebih dini sebelum menjadi masalah yang lebih serius.

Network troubleshooting yang akan kita lakukan adalah berbasiskan pada layananlayanan di TCP/IP atau Internet. Beberapa alat troubleshooting untuk software yang >digunakan berbasiskan pada platform sistem operasi (OS) Linux dan Windows. Hal-hal yang sering terjadi dalam jaringan di antaranya adalah:

1. Masalah Konektivitas

Masalah konekvitas terjadi ketika suatu end stations (seperti komputer, hub/switch, router) tidak dapat berkomunikasi satu sama lain baik di lingkungan jaringan LAN (local area network) maupun WAN (wide area network). Menggunakan alat-alat manajemen berupa software maupun hardware, kita sering dapat mengatasinya bahkan sebelum pengguna lainnya mendapat peringatan. Masalah konektivitas meliputi:

a. Kehilangan Konektivitas (Loss of connectivity ) - Ketika para pengguna tidak dapat mengakses jaringan kita maka keefektifan organisasi Anda adalah lemah sehingga Anda harus dengan segera memperbaikinya.<

b. Konektivitas terputus-putus atau tidak stabil (Intermittent connectivity) – Kendati para pengguna memiliki akses ke sumber daya jaringan beberapa kali tetapi mereka kadangkala masih menghadapi koneksi jaringan yang 'mati' (periods of downtime). Masalah konektivitas yang terputus-putus dapat mengindikasikan bahwa jaringan kita berada pada ambang kerusakan yang lebih parah. Jika konektivitas tidak menentu (aneh) segeralah kita melakukan pengamatan dan penyelidikan pada masalah tersebut.

c. Masalah Timeout - Timeouts menyebabkan kehilangan konektivitas (loss of connectivity)tetapi lebih sering dihubungkan dengan kinerja jaringan yang buruk.

2. Masalah Kinerja Jaringan

Jaringan kita memiliki masalah kinerja ketika ia tidak dapat beroperasi secara efektif.Sebagai contoh, waktu respon jaringan yang lambat, jaringan tidak stabil seperti biasanya, dan para pengguna banyak yang mengeluh bahwa jaringan melayani pekerjaan mereka lebih lama. Beberapa masalah kinerja yang bersifat sewaktu-waktu muncul seperti duplikasi alamat dan laju utilisasi jaringan yang selalu konsisten tinggi dapat saja terjadi. Jika Anda secara teratur dapat memeriksa jaringan untuk masalah kinerja, Anda dapat memperpanjang fungsi konfigurasi jaringan yang ada dan merencanakan peningkatan kualitas jaringan dibandingkan harus menunggu akibat atau dampak dari masalah tersebut terhadap produktivitas pengguna.

WordPress Hacking

There’s been some interesting posts around the net over the past week about WordPress blogs being hacked. The source vulnerabilities appear to be embedded within various WordPress themes created by outside developers.

There’s a pretty decent write-up on GigaOm. It’s good to see this kind of attention outside of the usual security crowds. Note: This blog runs on WordPress. Serves as a friendly reminder to review and understand the source code running on your site or application.

Update: It looks like some more blog hacking just made the news. Al Gore’s blog has been hacked. Les Orchard (friend and former colleague of mine) appears to have has the same issue over at Decafbad.

New Home Network Technology

Previous Tira want to say Happy Idul-Adha 1429H, not long felt Tira not renew writing this blog, do not take to heart the purpose of this blog, but because of a busy time, this time Tira will try again to discuss network technology
New developments in home networks affect more than just home offices and entertainment systems. Some of the most exciting advances are in healthcare and housing.

In healthcare, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) let doctors monitor patients wirelessly. Patients wear wireless sensors that transmit data through specialized channels. These signals contain information about vital signs, body functions, patient behavior and their environments. In the case of an unusual data transmission -- like a sudden spike in blood pressure or a report that an active patient has become suddenly still -- an emergency channel picks up the signal and sends medical services to the patient's home.
The housing industry is another important field for home network technology development. Bill Gates owns one of the few smart houses in existence, but someday, we might all live in one. A smart house is a fully networked structure with functions that can be controlled from a central computer, making it an ideal technology for homeowners who travel frequently or for homeowners who simply want it all.

Builders are beginning to offer home network options for their customers that range from the primitive -- installing Ethernet cables in the walls -- to the cutting-edge -- managing the ambient temperature from a laptop hundreds of miles from home. In one trial experiment called Laundry Time, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Panasonic, Proctor & Gamble and Whirlpool demonstrated the power of interfacing home appliances. The experiment networked a washing machine and clothes dryer with a TV, PC and cell phone. This unheard-of combination of networked devices let homeowners know when their laundry loads were finished washing or drying by sending alerts to their TV screens, instant messaging systems or cell phones. Research and development also continues for systems that perform a wide variety of functions -- data and voice recognition might change the way we enter, exit and secure our homes, while service appliances could prepare our food, control indoor temperatures and keep our homes clean.

This technology is promising, but it's not quite ready for the consumer market yet. The average consumer can't afford a WSN or a smart house, and if he could, there's a good chance he or she wouldn't be able to operate these sophisticated systems. Another issue is security -- until developers find a way to secure these networks, consumers risk sharing medical information and leaving their homes open to attack.

For lots more information about home networks, installation and technology, see the links on the next page.

ASSESSMENT OF A PORTABLE MAPPING TOOL FOR TIME-CRITICAL
MANAGEMENT OF DISASTERS

In the field of disaster response, the following paper presents a hand-held mobile mapping tool that can potentially be used to coordinate field operations, to help navigation of rescue teams and to identify priority areas of high vulnerability. The tool is named “Mobile Geoimager” and is a combination of various sensors aimed to collect coordinates, heading, tilts and medium resolution
pictures. The Mobile Geoimager is part of a multi-user framework that incorporates communication technologies between field stations and base station. The tool aims to provide accurate and updated spatial information to field operators and to manage share of field and external information. Its major interest is to combine a set of technologies using low-cost commercial off-the-shelf hardware. In short, it comprises mobile computer system, GPS, magnetic sensors, digital image sensors and wireless communication. On the software side, the system benefits greatly from free Open-Source software, ranging from databases, operating systems to web mapping technology in order to control the flow of information. It is going to incorporate as much as possible standards and to reduce development efforts by using available software libraries. An accurate integration of already available technologies is expected to enhance information exchange during field operation in disaster response phase.

BitDefender Total Security 2009

BitDefender Total Security 2009

The best Total Security 2009
by Neil J. Rubenking
source : www.pcmag.com

with lots of settings to tweak and plenty of information exposed. However, last year's suite took a strong turn toward the mainstream, with a simple big-button user interface reminiscent of Norton 360. BitDefender's UI designers have accomplished another extreme makeover in the $79.95 (direct) BitDefender Internet Security 2009, striving to attract average users. But geeks needn't worry—all the gory details are still accessible for those who can understand them. And this version adds a host of new features to the suite's already rich collection.

Your purchase gets you three licenses, with 2GB of online backup shared among the three. If you don't want the backup and tune-up features, you can save a little money by getting BitDefender Internet Security 2009 at $49.95 for three licenses instead. The company's pricing is more flexible than most—you can buy 1, 3, 5, or 10 licenses for 1, 2, or 3 years. Naturally, the yearly per-user price goes down with more licenses or more years.

New Interface

The suite's new look features a sparse main "dashboard" that shows overall status. If there are any issues affecting security, the dashboard offers not one but two buttons to fix all issues. Clicking either brings up a list of items to fix and lets you do so individually or all at once, which is much the same as what you'll encounter with Norton Internet Security 2008 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. A list of tasks lets you check for updates or run a full or deep scan.

As you select the program's other four main tabs, the task list at right changes appropriately. The Security tab encompasses all of the essential security features subdivided into four areas: local security, online security, parental control, and vulnerability scan. From the Tune-up tab, you can run a wide variety of tools to clean up unnecessary files and tune system performance. The File Manager tab offers access to the file vault (encrypted storage) and to local and online backup. And the Network tab lets you remotely monitor and configure other installations of the product across your home or small-office network.

Unlike any other suite I've seen, BitDefender puts you in charge of which system elements are considered critical. Each item in the Security tab includes a check box that determines whether or not the item is monitored. If the box is checked, then the status bar will turn red any time the corresponding feature is disabled or not working properly.

As you move the mouse around the main window, a help panel at the bottom offers information about whatever control you're pointing at—a nice touch. But all of the interface's controls act like links rather than buttons, which I don't like. Some of the actions launched by these controls are slow to appear, and without the visual "press" of a button, I was often left wondering whether the suite had actually recognized that I clicked something. This problem was especially pronounced in my virtual-machine test systems but was still noticeable on a physical test system.—Next: Extensive Virus Protection

How to Market Your Business On-Line

by Kevin Nunley

"I'm at a loss on how we can properly market our business on the Net," Karen explained. "We've established an impressive marketing presence in print media and I don't want our home page to look shabby or sit there with no response."

Karen's words sound familiar to many entrepreneurs. By now just about everyone knows that a website alone will not draw many visitors. Your on-line presence must be promoted tirelessly. Free classifieds are everywhere. They also take hours each day to place.

Posting to newsgroups can be profitable, but it's important to know the group. Willy-nilly posting of commercial messages can get you into trouble fast with the on-line community.
The same goes for broadcasting hoards of unsolicited email messages. Rather than finding lots of interested prospects, you may well find your mailbox jammed with hateful replies and a suspension notice from your provider.

What's a busy small business person with limited resources to do? Thankfully, there are several very effective on-line marketing methods that are relatively easy and quick. Here are three of my favorites, all well regarded by people who do lots of on-line marketing.
Promote Off-Line.

Include your URL in all the printed and broadcast advertising you do. Don't just add your website address in tiny print at the bottom, as some businesses do. Spread it across the page so it can't be missed. Tell the reader or listener WHY they should check out your on-line presence. Give them a benefit for finding your page. Supply them with helpful information or a discount that they can't find out about any other way. Hand out a one-sheet about your website. Include your URL on your telephone hold message.

Use the public's current interest in exploring the Net. Whereas many people won't read your brochure or analyze your newspaper ad, many will enthusiastically click through your web site. Use the opportunity to expose more people to lots of details about your company, services, and products.
Build an Email List of Your Customers.

While a great many people hate unsolicited email, it's perfectly OK to send email notices about your products or services to people who have shown an interest in your company or bought from you in the past.

Recently, when I called a self-publisher to order a book, he asked me my email address along with my credit card information. At first I thought he might want it just for notification of delivery purposes. But a week later I started receiving his email newsletter providing me with helpful tips and information on his latest publications. I find the newsletter helpful and am more likely to remember him and buy from him in the future.

Email newsletters are very simple affairs. Simply write a letter to your customers providing them with helpful tips. Include information on your products and services.

Remember that letters are still regarded as personal forms of communication. Make your newsletter's tone conversational, friendly, and informal.

Electronic mail is the marketing tool of the very near future. We haven't gotten all the bugs sorted out of it and many people do get irritated at receiving mail they aren't interested in. BUT, email is cheap, conserves natural resources, and doesn't pollute the environment. That's a combination of strengths that will ultimately overcome all challenges in a very, very big way.
Write Articles.

Finally, write articles for one or more of the thousands of new on-line publications. The Net is about information. People come to their computers to learn something. Use what you know about your business to be the expert that many people are looking for.

It doesn't matter what your area of expertise is--baseball, auto repair, tax law, growing beautiful flowers--there are hundreds of thousands of potential customers on-line interested in learning more.

"But I'm no writer!" I hear you exclaim. You don't have to be. As veteran on-line freelance writer Gary Christensen says, "Look at it as writing a page of instructions." If you can write a page of instructions on how to do something, you can be a published expert.

If you still don't feel comfortable putting your wisdom down on paper, call your local college English or Journalism department and ask for a capable student to "ghost" write it for you. Take a cue from the many celebrities and famous business executives who write books with the help of a professional author.

Before you get discouraged over the difficulty of getting the word out about your business on-line, consider adding these three marketing options to your promotional arsenal. There are more than a few entrepreneurs doing very well by using nothing more than one or two of these smart and efficient techniques.
