Enterprise Network Security

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

SECURE AND PROTECT YOUR NETWORK FROM WEB-BASED THREATS

The effectiveness of enterprise network security in an organization becomes very clear after web-based attacks. Firewalls and antivirus software alone cannot protect a network against complex malicious code that threatens the IT infrastructure. Firewalls can detect web traffic, but most do not include a method to monitor the specific information in transfer. Most antivirus solutions are only effective against specific threats after they have occurred. These reactive solutions are insufficient because they do not protect against unknown future attacks.

Unfortunately, organizations cannot predict when or where the next threat will strike. The solution to this shortfall is to plan ahead to protect against new and emerging threats. Organizations need to enhance their existing security defenses with a solution that offers true content management. Security software complements firewalls and antivirus solutions by providing the most comprehensive enterprise network security solution. The three points of policy enforcement -- at the internet gateway, on the network, and on the desktop — create the multilayered, content-level protection required for the employee computing environment.

Web Security Gateway
Secure Web traffic while enabling the Web-based tools and applications.
Web 2.0 threat protection
Visibility and control with Web-based GUI
Real-time threat detection and site categorization
Enterprises with 500+ employees.

Web Security
Web security, reputation, and filtering protects against known and new Web threats.
Real-time protection against spyware, malicious mobile code, and other threats
Instantly actionable data with an intuitive dashboard
Web-based GUI reduces management costs
Enterprises up to 250,000+ users, with networks of virtually any configuration.

Web Filter
Improves productivity, reduces legal liability, and optimizes IT resources while allowing flexible Internet use policies.
Control Internet access
Prevent inappropriate content from entering the network
Limit bandwidth-intensive sites and applications
Enterprises from 50 to 250,000+ users, with networks of virtually any configuration.

Pemilu 2009 salah satu cara mendobrak persoalan

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Terus terang aku kagum dengan seluruh bangsa Indonesia, meskipun kita bukanlah orang-orang kaya/mapan dengan berlimpah uang milyaran. Namun kita tetap bersemangat bersatu untuk terus bersama menuju hari esok yang kita semua gak ngerti mau dibawa kemana oleh pemimpin-pemimpin kita.
Meski banyak kita dengar isak dan jerit tangis saudara kita akibat bencana yang melanda, baik segi ekonomi, politik, hukum dan bencana alam, namun di sisi lain kita tetap bersemangat untuk mencoba memperbaiki hal-hal tersebut.
Mungkin kita memang ditakdirkan harus seperti ini yaa. Dari Sabang sampai Merauke punya keanekaragaman yang tidak dapat terbantahkan. Kesamaan kita, menurut alasan para founding father adalah sama-sama dijajah Belanda dan Jepang, yang mungkin hal ini bagi sebagian orang adalah alasan aneh tapi ajaibnya kita tetap bersatu hingga hari ini.
Saat ini semua rakyat Indonesia berharap ada sebuah figur pemimpin yang bukan pemimpi. Gak perduli dari suku mana, silahkan, semua diberi kesempatan yang sama. Semua mempunyai tekad yang sama juga memajukan Indonesia meski dari perspektif masing-masing.
Dalam kesempatan ini aku tidak akan memaki, tidak akan melontarkan kritik pesimisme, tidak akan mengeluh, tidak mau menyalahkan, tidak mau juga hanya diam. Kenapa? karena aku adalah Manusia Indonesia. Manusia yang mempunyai sifat unik di dunia ini. Manusia yang menghargai tetangganya jika berbeda pendapat. Manusia yang sempat dibentuk oleh balutan pendidikan Pancasila yang berulang-ulang dan berlapis-lapis. Terkadang malas berikutnya berapi-api.
Aku ingin turut berpartisipasi menentukan arah tujuan bangsa kita dengan bersedia menyukseskan Pemilu 2009. Sikap politikku adalah floating mass berdasarkan Pancasila. Aku gak perduli kamu wakil dari partai mana selama sesuai dengan tujuan baikku pasti aku dukung seobyektif mungkin. Aku buat sesederhana itu, karena aku tidak mengerti hal-hal yang komplikatif. Aku hanya ingin berbuat yang aku bisa, aku tidak bisa berlagak peduli terhadap yang aku tidak mengerti. Aku ingin ada progress meskipun sedikit dan sangat pelan. Aku cinta Indonesiaku, gak perduli kalian memakiku sebagai bangsa yang rendah atau menghinaku dengan kata-kata kotor dan melemahkan.
Kalian bisa melihat sendiri banyak achievement yang didapat meski kekurangan sering kami lupakan untuk menambalnya. Hanya ini yang bisa aku lakukan, dan inilah yang pasti aku lakukan.
I love you, Indonesia dan seluruh tumpah darahnya...

Cheers, frizzy.

Why to Invest in Indonesia?

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

taken from The Embassy of Indonesia in Ottawa

This chapter provides you with everything about investment in Indonesia. Some supporting data provided at origin website.

Reason #1
HUGE POTENTIAL, SIZABLE DOMESTIC MARKET
With a total population of 210 million persons, which was just reached in the early 1997, and a fast-growing middle class (totaling around 35 millions), Indonesia is indeed a huge, potential market. As the people welfare improved, demands for goods and services do not merely rely on quantity, but quality, variability, and on-time availability.

Reason #2
VAST, HIGHLY DIVERSIFIED NATURAL RESOURCES
The abundance of Indonesia's natural resources is evident in all sectors, particularly land resources, mines & minerals, agriculture/plantation, marine & fishery, forestry, and natural scenery. Utilization of the natural resources along with maintenance of their long-terms benefits has fueled the national development in all sectors during the last few decades. Processing industries for estate crops, horticultural crops, industrial plantation forest, mineral deposits, brackish water culture are among other of promising business in the country.

Reason #3
COMPETITIVE AND PRODUCTIVE LABORFORCE
The Government of Indonesia pays special attention to the development of human resources, including the productivity of workers. During the period of PELITA VI (1994/1995 - 1998/1999), value added per worker is expected to grow - on the average - by 3.3% annually. The increase of workers' value added for three major sectors are 2.4%/year for agriculture, 3.7%/year for industry, and 1.9%/year for services.
The World Competitiveness Report (1995) revealed that percentage of 20-24 year olds enrolled in higher education of Indonesia is about 10%, which is higher than those of Malaysia (7.0%), India (6.0%), and China (2.0%). You may have a look at the Indonesia's laborforce profiles.
Although the UMR (Upah Minimum Regional - Regional Minimum Standard Wage Rates) have been increasing from year to year as the people's standard of living is better-off through time, it is however still quite competitive compared to those of other Asian countries.

Reason #4
STRONGER ECONOMIC BASE
Indonesia is undergoing a transformation from agricultural-base economy to an industrial-base economy. Manufacturing industry has become the backbone of Indonesia's export drive. Changes in composition of GDP by sectors during the 1980s and 1990s showed that such situation is true. Ever-increasing volume and value of industrial products have made the national economy not depended merely on oil & gas exports. Since mid-1980s, non-oil & gas export revenues have been jumping up beyond the oil & gas exports; and during the last-few year oil & gas export revenues constitute even less than a quarter of the total export income.

Bukan Indonesia untuk pariwisata, tetapi pariwisata untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat Indonesia

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Indonesia Jadi Tujuan Wisata Spa Terbaik Dunia

Indonesia terpilih menjadi tujuan wisata spa terbaik di dunia melalui penghargaan yang akan dianugerahkan International Wellness Awards kepada Indonesia dalam International Travel Bourse di Berlin, Jerman.

"Mengapa Indonesia? Sebab Indonesia mampu mempertahankan warisan budaya leluhur dikombinasikan dengan hasil riset terbaru," kata Pimpinan Selected Hotel Promotion Inc (organisasi pariwisata internasional ternama), Frank Pfaller, dalam siaran pers, Rabu (18/2).
Bali dinilai merupakan kawasan wisata spa terbaik karena mampu memelihara kebudayaan asli leluhur, termasuk warisan raja-raja kuno. Bahkan, terminologi khas Bali dalam kaitannya dengan spa seperti boreh dan lulur telah diakui secara internasional.

Indonesia melalui Bali telah terpilih sebagai "The Best Spa Destination in The World". Penghargaan tersebut akan diserahkan dalam rangka penyelenggaraan pameran pariwisata tahunan yang bergengsi, yaitu International Tourism Bourse (ITB) di Berlin, Jerman, awal Maret 2009. Hal itu karena kegiatan ITB merupakan pameran terbesar yang melibatkan ribuan pelaku bisnis di dunia pariwisata internasional. Penghargaan tersebut rencananya akan diterima secara langsung oleh Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata, Jero Wacik, yang akan hadir dalam kegiatan ITB di Berlin tersebut.

Pada kesempatan yang sama, Raja Denpasar IX Ida Tjokorda Ngurah Jambe Pamecutan juga akan dianugerahi penghargaan Senses Wellness Award 2009 dari organisasi yang sama.

Raja Denpasar IX juga akan menerima The Five-star-Diamond Lifetime Achievement Award yang akan diberikan oleh Presiden American Academy of Hospitality Sciences Joe Cinque atas sumbangsih dan pengabdiannya dalam hal hubungan pertukaran dan perkembangan kebudayaan internasional. "Kami mewakili masyarakat spa yang ada di Bali akan berangkat dalam acara tersebut di samping karena tahun ini Bali terpilih menjadi tujuan spa terbaik dunia," kata Raja Denpasar IX Ida Tjokorda Ngurah Jambe Pamecutan.

Ia berharap penerimaan penghargaan tersebut dapat lebih memperkenalkan pariwisata Indonesia kepada dunia internasional. Raja Denpasar IX rencananya akan berangkat dan membawa rombongan misi kebudayaan yang terdiri dari 80 raja dan sultan seluruh Indonesia yang tergabung dalam Forum Silaturahmi Keraton se-Nusantara.

"Kami juga akan membawa tim kesenian Bali klasik dan kesenian dari seluruh Nusantara untuk mempromosikan adat tradisi budaya kita kepada dunia. Prinsipnya bukan Indonesia untuk pariwisata, tetapi pariwisata untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat Indonesia," katanya.

2000 Pulau di Indonesia Terancam Hilang, haruskah???

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Mengajak kepada seluruh blogger Indonesia untuk turut menyuarakan keprihatinan serta meningkatkan persatuan dalam wacana Bhineka Tunggal Ika.

Kutipan dari Antara.
Sedikit-dikitnya 2000 pulau kecil terancam hilang akibat produksi penambangan yang belebihan dan kegiatan lain yang tidak ramah terhadap lingkungan laut dan daratan.

"Tapi herannya kenapa semua pada diam termasuk perguruan tinggi baik negeri maupun swasta yang jumlahnya ratusan ini tidak melakukan apa-apa untuk menghentikan kegiatan yang bisa menghilangkan pulau-pulau kecil itu," kata Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan Freddy Numberi di Malang, Sabtu. Selengkapnya

Tanggapan: Masyarakat Tradisional Vs. Kapitalis = Pembangunan

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Tulisan 1 (pertama) dari 2 (dua) tulisan.
Tanggapan artikel Masyarakat Tradisional Vs. Kapitalis = Pembangunan
Tulisan Mr. Abdul Wahab Kiak

Pertama-tama aku akan mengenalkan background dan pola berpikirku. Aku telah bekerja di bidang System Integrator selama lebih dari 14 tahun.
Dalam memberikan solusi, metode yang kupakai adalah Engineering. Suatu metode pemecahan masalah yang menggunakan analisa dari seluruh hal-hal yang saling berkaitan.
Permasalahan yang diselesaikan tanpa analisa yang lengkap, hanya akan menyimpan permasalahan yang menggunung. Yang terlihat bisa dijalankan untuk sementara, namun akan gagal untuk ke depannya.

Berbicara mengenai pembangunan pada sektor kehutanan. Hal yang mendasar adalah kita harus mengetahui seluruh potensi hutan yang ada, berikut seluruh sumber daya alam pendukungnya dan yang paling penting adalah sumber daya manusianya. Ketika bicara tentang semua hal ini, tentunya kita memerlukan analis-analis dalam bidangnya.
Aku tidak pernah setuju pada sebuah keputusan yang tidak didasari oleh analisa yang tepat dan akurat. Apalagi keputusan yang hanya diputuskan oleh seseorang tanpa alasan yang komprehensif. Please dong ah, kita sekarang hidup di alam yang penuh teknologi modern, teknologi yang dibangun dengan proses analisa yang mendalam sehingga sebuah teknologi, dari yang sederhana sampai yang canggih dan rumit sekalipun dapat diterima oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat di seluruh dunia. Aku contohkan misalnya satu set tool box, furnitur dengan disain modern, handphone, sampai prosesor komputer yang proses pembuatannya sangat2 rumit dll. Amazing isn't it!

Maaf saudara, sekarang bukan waktunya lagi seorang pejabat pengambil keputusan bisa berlagak layaknya manusia super yang berwibawa di seluruh jagad raya. Aku sering tertawa membaca tulisan2 di prasasti2 kuno yang terlalu memuji seorang raja secara hiperbolis yang jelas kebangetan tapi mampu mempengaruhi masyarakat yang berpendidikan rendah.

Berikut adalah para analis yang dibutuhkan dalam pembangunan sektor kehutanan.
1. Analis Antropologi/Budaya/Adat Istiadat/Agama
2. Analis Hukum, Teritorial dan keamanan
3. Analis Kehutanan dan Perkebunan
4. Analis Politik
5. Analis Sumber Daya Manusia
6. Analis Resiko
7. Analis Komunikasi/Hubungan Kemasyarakatan
8. Analis Keuangan/Finansial
9. Analis Perpajakan
10. Analis Operasional
11. Analis Akuntansi
11. Analis Kualitas
12. Analis Kepatuhan (Compliance)
13. Analis Teknologi
14. Analis Produk
15. Analis Pemasaran dan penjualan
16. ...dll yang belum terpikirkan

Para analis di atas adalah panita yang merumuskan masalah, memberikan ide, memberikan batasan-batasan, memberikan arahan, mencari kesepakatan dan mencari keputusan.
Masalah teknis produksi, pemasaran, penjualan dan pemeliharaan tidak dicantumkan di sini, karena scope tersebut adalah sesuatu hal kompleks yang lain lagi.

Ingat!, hutan adalah pemberian Tuhan, bukan buatan manusia. Maaf, bukan maksud menggurui tapi memang inilah yang ada dalam otakku.
Sekali lagi saudaraku, janganlah keputusan yang sangat penting ini dibebankan/dibiarkan kepada satu orang/satu golongan saja. Agama mengajarkan kita untuk menyerahkan setiap persoalan kepada ahlinya bukan kepada orang yang tidak paham apalagi yang sok paham. Untuk itu, hindarilah pemujian yang berlebihan kepada seseorang atau golongan tertentu. Mari kita ubah paradigma tersebut bersama-sama yaa.

sebelumnya aku akan membuat definisi Masyarakat Tradisional, Kapitalis dan Pembangunan. Ketiga hal ini aku sebut entiti, setiap entiti punya karakter/sifat yang berbeda sehingga penanganan dan pemecahan masalahnya pun berbeda.
Namun patut diingat bahwa ulasan aku berasal dari berita-berita umum yang ada, sehingga point of viewnya jelas berbeda dengan orang2 yang menghadapinya secara langsung.

Berbicara masyarakat tradisional pasti berbicara masalah struktur masyarakat adat. Sebagai orang yang hidup di era modern seperti sekarang, aku sangat jauh dari mengerti mengenai struktur adat. Ditambah dengan paham nasionalis dan demokratis yang aku anut, sebagai orang yang hanya diberi pengertian bahwa aku adalah orang dan manusia Indonesia yang harus hidup dengan ideologi Pancasila, aku tidak akan mengkotak-kotakan suku bangsa yang satu dengan yang lain. Namun aku sangat menghargai penduduk asli yang telah sepaham menganggap bahwa tanah kelahirannya adalah haknya mereka, meskipun bukan mereka yang membuatnya (mohon dibaca dengan pikiran terbuka dan modern).
Oke, mari kita lanjutkan. Aku menganggap struktur yang sekarang ada harus dijaga namun TETAP harus dikembangkan, disesuaikan dan dialokasikan sumber dayanya untuk menghadapi kompetisi global.
Kenapa aku bicara kompetisi? Karena dalam agama kita ditekankan untuk tidak iri dan dengki, namun diwajibkan untuk menuntut ilmu setinggi-tingginya untuk bersaing dalam perdagangan, menolak riba dan mencari ridha Allah SWT seluas-luasnya.
Sebuah tim (struktur adat) yang kaku tidak akan mampu menghadapi variasi kompetisi yang berbeda-beda. Karena tiap potensi kehutanan di suatu daerah pasti berbeda dengan yang lainnya. Semua pihak yang terkait harus jujur menyatakan potensi dirinya, tidak boleh ada yang merasa superior jika kita bicara sumber daya. Pandangan hanya penguasa yang mengerti akan keadaan teritorialnya adalah pandangan yang lemah dan sulit diterima oleh masyarakatnya saat ini. Sebagai profesional, mungkin aku bisa sarankan untuk merombak tatanan struktural yang ada dengan tetap melibatkan nafas budaya yang dianut meskipun itu pasti ditentang oleh 'masyarakatnya'.
Dari sini diharapkan semua pihak akhirnya sadar, aware akan potensinya dan mensosialisasikan kepada masyarakat lainnya di seluruh Indonesia. Sehingga jika ternyata ada pihak masyarakat dari daerahlain menyatakan bisa membantu, kita tidak perlu lagi bantuan dari negara lain.

Sob, segitu dulu ya, karena aku mau ngurusin pendaftaran sekolah anak. Aku akan teruskan tulisan ini di posting berikutnya.

Cheers, frizzy.

Options Trading

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

7 Reasons Why You Should Consider Options Trading!

1. You can make more money – faster – in a bad economy
2. Good economies are still a cash-cow
3. There is no overhead
4. No employees
5. No boss breathing down your neck
6. You can do it from anywhere in the world...all you need is a laptop
7. You can get started on a shoestring

Complex or Simple?
Option trading isn't a fad or gimmicky business that will be here today and gone tomorrow. It is a proven investing technique that has been used for more than 70 years by the “super-wealthy” to exploit market swings for 100% to 500% gains in a matter of weeks. I'm talking about institutional investors, hedge fund managers, and private equity have all used options to make a fortune.

Despite a wide-spread belief that options are complicated, they are actually very simple. Sure there are those who believe in “efficient markets” and employ sophisticated “option pricing models” that are theoretically “fool-proof”.

But it was reliance on these “fail-safe” models that caused the collapse of Long Term Capital Management in 98' and once again damn near brought down the “house” as the sophists behind these pricing models divided up sub-prime mortgage paper and “miraculously” turned it into AAA paper.

The only thing we've learned through all of this, is that the “efficient market theory” isn't efficient at all, and eventually blows up in your face.
Markets are NOT efficient. How can they be when they are made up of a bunch of tightly-wound human “creatures” whose emotions of greed and fear often hit ten on the Richter scale?

When you understand that the market constantly gyrates back and forth between these two emotional extremes, using options to grow wealthy becomes a very simple and predictable process.
It may come as a shock, but greed & fear are patterned and repeat over and over in every stock.....in every market.....and in every time frame, from a one-minute chart to a multi-year chart. I'll tell you all about it in just a moment. But first a word from the worlds richest man.

by someone which I forgot, sorry
Cheers, frizzy.

Lawyer Responsibilities

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Responsibilities
In most countries, particularly civil law countries, there has been a tradition of giving many legal tasks to a variety of civil law notaries, clerks, and scriveners. These countries do not have "lawyers" in the American sense, insofar as that term refers to a single type of general-purpose legal services provider; rather, their legal professions consist of a large number of different kinds of law-trained persons, known as jurists, of which only some are advocates who are licensed to practice in the courts. It is difficult to formulate accurate generalizations that cover all the countries with multiple legal professions, because each country has traditionally had its own peculiar method of dividing up legal work among all its different types of legal professionals.

Notably, England, the mother of the common law jurisdictions, emerged from the Dark Ages with similar complexity in its legal professions, but then evolved by the 19th century to a single dichotomy between barristers and solicitors. An equivalent dichotomy developed between advocates and procurators in some civil law countries, though these two types did not always monopolize the practice of law as much as barristers and solicitors, in that they always coexisted with civil law notaries.
Several countries that originally had two or more legal professions have since fused or united their professions into a single type of lawyer. Most countries in this category are common law countries, though France, a civil law country, merged together its jurists in 1990 and 1991 in response to Anglo-American competition. In countries with fused professions, a lawyer is usually permitted to carry out all or nearly all the responsibilities listed below.


Oral argument in the courts
Arguing a client's case before a judge or jury in a court of law is the traditional province of the barrister in England, and of advocates in some civil law jurisdictions. However, the boundary between barristers and solicitors has evolved. In England today, the barrister monopoly covers only appellate courts, and barristers must compete directly with solicitors in many trial courts. In countries like the United States that have fused legal professions, there are trial lawyers who specialize in trying cases in court, but trial lawyers do not have a de jure monopoly like barristers.
In some countries, litigants have the option of arguing pro se, or on their own behalf. It is common for litigants to appear unrepresented before certain courts like small claims courts; indeed, many such courts do not allow lawyers to speak for their clients, in an effort to save money for all participants in a small case. In other countries, like Venezuela, no one may appear before a judge unless represented by a lawyer. The advantage of the latter regime is that lawyers are familiar with the court's customs and procedures, and make the legal system more efficient for all involved. Unrepresented parties often damage their own credibility or slow the court down as a result of their inexperience.

Research and drafting of court papers
Often, lawyers brief a court in writing on the issues in a case before the issues can be orally argued. They may have to perform extensive research into relevant facts and law while drafting legal papers and preparing for oral argument.
In England, the usual division of labour is that a solicitor will obtain the facts of the case from the client and then brief a barrister (usually in writing). The barrister then researches and drafts the necessary court pleadings (which will be filed and served by the solicitor) and orally argues the case.

Advocacy (written and oral) in administrative hearings
In most developed countries, the legislature has granted original jurisdiction over highly technical matters to executive branch administrative agencies which oversee such things. As a result, some lawyers have become specialists in administrative law. In a few countries, there is a special category of jurists with a monopoly over this form of advocacy; for example, France formerly had conseil juridiques (who were merged into the main legal profession in 1991). In other countries, like the United States, lawyers have been effectively barred by statute from certain types of administrative hearings in order to preserve their informality.

Client intake and counseling (with regard to pending litigation)
An important aspect of a lawyer's job is developing and managing relationships with clients (or the client's employees, if the lawyer works in-house for a government or corporation). The client-lawyer relationship often begins with an intake interview where the lawyer gets to know the client personally, discovers the facts of the client's case, clarifies what the client wants to accomplish, shapes the client's expectations as to what actually can be accomplished, begins to develop various claims or defenses, and explains his or her fees to the client.
In England, only solicitors were traditionally in direct contact with the client. The solicitor retained a barrister if one was necessary and acted as an intermediary between the barrister and the client. In most cases a barrister would be obliged, under what is known as the "cab rank rule", to accept instructions for a case in an area in which they held themselves out as practising, at a court at which they normally appeared and at their usual rates.

Legal advice
Legal advice is the application of abstract principles of law to the concrete facts of the client's case in order to advise the client about what they should do next. In many countries, only a properly licensed lawyer may provide legal advice to clients for good consideration, even if no lawsuit is contemplated or is in progress. Therefore, even conveyancers and corporate in-house counsel must first get a license to practice, though they may actually spend very little of their careers in court. Failure to obey such a rule is the crime of unauthorized practice of law.
In other countries, jurists who hold law degrees are allowed to provide legal advice to individuals or to corporations, and it is irrelevant if they lack a license and cannot appear in court. Some countries go further; in England and Wales, there is no general prohibition on the giving of legal advice. Sometimes civil law notaries are allowed to give legal advice, as in Belgium. In many countries, non-jurist accountants may provide what is technically legal advice in tax and accounting matters.

Protecting intellectual property
In virtually all countries, patents, trademarks, industrial designs and other forms of intellectual property must be formally registered with a government agency in order to receive maximum protection under the law. The division of such work among lawyers, licensed non-lawyer jurists/agents, and ordinary clerks or scriveners varies greatly from one country to the next.

Negotiating and drafting contracts
In some countries, the negotiating and drafting of contracts is considered to be similar to the provision of legal advice, so that it is subject to the licensing requirement explained above. In others, jurists or notaries may negotiate or draft contracts.
Lawyers in some civil law countries traditionally deprecated "transactional law" or "business law" as beneath them. French law firms developed transactional departments only in the 1990s when they started to lose business to international firms based in the United States and the United Kingdom (where solicitors have always done transactional work).

Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the drafting of the documents necessary for the transfer of real property, such as deeds and mortgages. In some jurisdictions, all real estate transactions must be carried out by a lawyer (or a solicitor where that distinction still exists). Such a monopoly is quite valuable from the lawyer's point of view; historically, conveyancing accounted for about half of English solicitors' income (though this has since changed), and a 1978 study showed that conveyancing "accounts for as much as 80 percent of solicitor-client contact in New South Wales." In most common law jurisdictions outside of the United States, this monopoly arose from an 1804 law that was introduced by William Pitt the Younger as a quid pro quo for the raising of fees on the certification of legal professionals such as barristers, solicitors, attorneys and notaries.
In others, the use of a lawyer is optional and banks, title companies, or realtors may be used instead. In some civil law jurisdictions, real estate transactions are handled by civil law notaries. In England and Wales a special class of legal professional–the licensed conveyancer–is also allowed to carry out conveyancing services for reward.

Carrying out the intent of the deceased
In many countries, only lawyers have the legal authority to do drafting of wills, trusts, and any other documents that ensure the efficient disposition of a person's property after death. In some civil law countries this responsibility is handled by civil law notaries.
In the United States, the estates of the deceased must be administered by a court through probate. American lawyers have a profitable monopoly on dispensing advice about probate law (which has been heavily criticized).

Prosecution and defense of criminal suspects
In many civil law countries, prosecutors are trained and employed as part of the judiciary; they are law-trained jurists, but may not necessarily be lawyers in the sense that the word is used in the common law world. In common law countries, prosecutors are usually lawyers holding regular licenses who simply happen to work for the government office that files criminal charges against suspects. Criminal defense lawyers specialize in the defense of those charged with any crimes.

What Virgin does…

I’m not good at theory. Almost everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned by doing. However, Muhammad’s opinions excite me. They confirm a lot of the gut feelings I’ve developed about business over the years. And topping my list of gut feelings is this: business has to give people enriching, rewarding lives, or it’s simply not worth doing.

I think of our Virgin brand as one of the premier ‘way of life’ brands in the world. Whether you’re in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, South Africa, India, Europe, Russia, South America or China, the Virgin brand means something. The Virgin brand is about enjoying life to the full. By offering customers excellent value for money in so many areas of their lives, we aim to make them happier.
Most businesses concentrate on one thing, and for the best of reasons: because their founders and leaders care about one thing, above all others, and they want to devote their lives to that thing. They’re not limited in their thinking. They’re focused. The conventional wisdom at business school is that you stick with what you know. Of the top twenty brands in the world, nineteen ply a well-defined trade.
Coca-Cola specialises in soft drinks, Microsoft’s into computers, Nike makes sports shoes and gear. The exception in this list is Virgin – and the fact that we’re worth $5 billion and counting really gets up the noses of people who think they know ‘the rules of business’ (whatever they are). We’re the only one of the top twenty that has diversified into a range of business activities, including airlines, trains, holidays, mobile phones, media – including television, radio and cable – the Internet, financial services and healthcare.
Hopefully what I’ve written here is relevant to your business no matter what sector you are in.

Sensasi Seks di Tempat Umum

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

La Rose Djayasupena - Belanda
Hoi Zev en KoKiers,

Untuk sebagian orang seks di muka umum mungkin sangat mengerikan dan memalukan melakukannya, tetapi untuk sebagian orang justru adalah suatu sensasi yang tak ternilai sangat indah dan menyenangkan untuk melakukannya.

Biasanya, kita dengan pasangan, pertama memulainya dengan sekedar ciuman saja sambil berpelukan di muka umum dan tanpa disadari saking enak dan nikmatnya.. ceilee..malah ciuman pun berubah tidak hanya sekedar cap..cup.. cap.. cup..hingga memainkan lidah masing-masing sampai muter dan merem-melek segala, padahal kita saat itu sebenarnya lagi berada di tempat umum, paling orang yang lewat hanya geleng-geleng kepala sambil senyum-senyum.

Di Belanda melakukan hubungan intim sangat mudah di tempat umum atau ruangan terbuka, sensasinya...hhmm.. ehem..ehem..bener - bener mengasyikan dan menyenangkan.

Virtualization...continue

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Following are some (possibly overlapping) representative reasons for and benefits of virtualization.


* Virtual machines can be used to consolidate the workloads of several under-utilized servers to fewer machines, perhaps a single machine (server consolidation). Related benefits (perceived or real, but often cited by vendors) are savings on hardware, environmental costs, management, and administration of the server infrastructure.
* The need to run legacy applications is served well by virtual machines. A legacy application might simply not run on newer hardware and/or operating systems. Even if it does, if may under-utilize the server, so as above, it makes sense to consolidate several applications. This may be difficult without virtualization as such applications are usually not written to co-exist within a single execution environment (consider applications with hard-coded System V IPC keys, as a trivial example).
* Virtual machines can be used to provide secure, isolated sandboxes for running untrusted applications. You could even create such an execution environment dynamically - on the fly - as you download something from the Internet and run it. You can think of creative schemes, such as those involving address obfuscation. Virtualization is an important concept in building secure computing platforms.
* Virtual machines can be used to create operating systems, or execution environments with resource limits, and given the right schedulers, resource guarantees. Partitioning usually goes hand-in-hand with quality of service in the creation of QoS-enabled operating systems.
* Virtual machines can provide the illusion of hardware, or hardware configuration that you do not have (such as SCSI devices, multiple processors, ...) Virtualization can also be used to simulate networks of independent computers.
* Virtual machines can be used to run multiple operating systems simultaneously: different versions, or even entirely different systems, which can be on hot standby. Some such systems may be hard or impossible to run on newer real hardware.
* Virtual machines allow for powerful debugging and performance monitoring. You can put such tools in the virtual machine monitor, for example. Operating systems can be debugged without losing productivity, or setting up more complicated debugging scenarios.
* Virtual machines can isolate what they run, so they provide fault and error containment. You can inject faults proactively into software to study its subsequent behavior.
* Virtual machines make software easier to migrate, thus aiding application and system mobility.
* You can treat application suites as appliances by "packaging" and running each in a virtual machine.
* Virtual machines are great tools for research and academic experiments. Since they provide isolation, they are safer to work with. They encapsulate the entire state of a running system: you can save the state, examine it, modify it, reload it, and so on. The state also provides an abstraction of the workload being run.
* Virtualization can enable existing operating systems to run on shared memory multiprocessors.
* Virtual machines can be used to create arbitrary test scenarios, and can lead to some very imaginative, effective quality assurance.
* Virtualization can be used to retrofit new features in existing operating systems without "too much" work.
* Virtualization can make tasks such as system migration, backup, and recovery easier and more manageable.
* Virtualization can be an effective means of providing binary compatibility.
* Virtualization on commodity hardware has been popular in co-located hosting. Many of the above benefits make such hosting secure, cost-effective, and appealing in general.
* Virtualization is fun.
* Plenty of other reasons ...

Variations
Generically speaking, in order to virtualize, you would use a layer of software that provides the illusion of a "real" machine to multiple instances of "virtual machines". This layer is traditionally called the Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM).

There are many (often intertwined) high-level ways to think about a virtualization system's architecture. Consider some scenarios:
A VMM could itself run directly on the real hardware - without requiring a "host" operating system. In this case, the VMM is the (minimal) OS.

A VMM could be hosted, and would run entirely as an application on top of a host operating system. It would use the host OS API to do everything. Furthermore, depending on whether the host and the virtual machine's architectures are identical or not, instruction set emulation may be involved.
From the point of view of how (and where) instructions get executed: you can handle all instructions that execute on a virtual machine in software; you can execute most of the instructions (maybe even some privileged instructions) directly on the real processor, with certain instructions handled in software; you can handle all privileged instructions in software ...
A different approach, with rather different goals, is that of complete machine simulation. SimOS and Simics, as discussed later, are examples of this approach.
Although architectures have been designed explicitly with virtualizationWhy Virtualization in mind, a typical hardware platform, and a typical operating system, both are not very conducive to virtualization.

As mentioned above, many architectures have privileged and non-privileged instructions. Assuming the programs you want to run on the various virtual machines on a system are all native to the architecture (in other words, it would not necessitate emulation of the instruction set). Thus, the virtual machine can be run in non-privileged mode. One would imagine that non-privileged instructions can be directly executed (without involving the VMM), and since the privileged instructions would cause a trap (since they are being executed in non-privileged mode), they can be "caught" by the VMM, and appropriate action can be taken (they can be simulated by the VMM in software, say). Problems arise from the fact that there may be instructions that are non-privileged, but their behavior depends on the processor mode - these instructions are sensitive, but they do not cause traps.

Cheers, frizzy.

Virtualization

Fahmi Rizwansyah says:

Virtualization Management
Virtualization technologies can deliver sea-changing benefits to your organization. But, as Thomas Bittman, Gartner analyst, adroitly noted, "Virtualization without good management is more dangerous than not using virtualization in the first place."
As an organization's computing environment gets more virtualized, it also gets more abstract. Increasing abstraction can increase complexity, making it harder for IT staff to control their world and undermining the benefits of virtualization.


Integrating physical and virtual management enables you to realize the full promise of virtualization while minimizing its risks. An integrated approach is critical because all IT infrastructures—even those with a significant amount of virtualization—include both virtual and physical components. Even if you have a management system that effectively handles virtualized systems, if it doesn't manage physical systems you will still have to manage many separate "islands"—and you will consume much more time and resources than you would with a management system that can handle all your assets. By using comprehensive virtualization management technology, you keep complexity at a minimum and streamline operations. A common virtualization management environment reduces training, ensures uniform policy application and simplifies maintenance.

Effective physical and virtual management can optimize the benefits of using virtualization technologies. This includes monitoring and managing hardware and software in a distributed environment. By allowing operations staff to monitor both the software running on physical machines and the physical machines themselves, it lets them know what's happening in their environment. It also lets them respond appropriately, running tasks and taking other actions to fix problems that occur.

Another unavoidable concern for people who manage virtualized, distributed environments is installing software and managing how that software is configured. While it's possible to perform these tasks by hand, end-to-end virtualization management technology can automate and accelerate this process.

Tools that work in both the physical and virtual worlds are highly effective and attractive. Yet think about an environment that has dozens or even hundreds of VMs installed. How are these machines built, changed and depreciated? And how are other VM-specific management functions performed? Addressing these questions requires a comprehensive toolset that includes managing virtualized hardware. Among other benefits, it can help operations staff choose workloads for virtualization, create the VMs that will run those workloads, and transfer the applications to their new homes.

Server Virtualization
For most IT people, the word "virtualization" conjures up thoughts of running multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. This is hardware virtualization, and while it's not the only important kind of virtualization, it is unquestionably the most visible today.
The core idea of hardware virtualization is simple: Use software to create a virtual machine that emulates a physical computer. This creates a separate OS environment that is logically isolated from the host server. By providing multiple VMs at once, this approach allows running several operating systems simultaneously on a single physical machine.

Rather than paying for many under-utilized server machines, each dedicated to a specific workload, server virtualization allows consolidating those workloads onto a smaller number of more fully-used machines. This implies fewer people to manage those computers, less space to house them, and fewer kilowatt hours of power to run them, all of which saves money.
Server virtualization also makes restoring failed systems easier. VMs are stored as files, and so restoring a failed system can be as simple as copying its file onto a new machine. Since VMs can have different hardware configurations from the physical machine on which they're running, this approach also allows restoring a failed system onto any available machine. There's no requirement to use a physically identical system.

Application Virtualization
In a physical environment, every application depends on its OS for a range of services, including memory allocation, device drivers, and much more. Incompatibilities between an application and its operating system can be addressed by either server virtualization or presentation virtualization. But for incompatibilities between two applications installed on the same instance of an OS, you need application virtualization.
Applications installed on the same device commonly share configuration elements, yet this sharing can be problematic. For example, one application might require a specific version of a dynamic link library (DLL) to function, while another application on that system might require a different version of the same DLL. Installing both applications creates a situation, where one of them overwrites the version required by the other causing the application to malfunction or crash. To avoid this, organizations often perform extensive compatibility testing before installing a new application, an approach that's workable but quite time-consuming and expensive.

Application virtualization solves this problem by creating application-specific copies of all shared resources. The configurations an application might share with other applications on its system—registry entries, specific DLLs, and more—are instead packaged with it and execute in the machine's cache, creating a virtual application. When a virtual application is deployed, it uses its own copy of these shared resources.
Application virtualization makes deployment significantly easier. Since applications no longer compete for DLL versions or other shared aspects of their environment, there's little need to test new applications for conflicts with existing applications before they're rolled out. And these virtual applications can run alongside ordinary, installed applications—so not everything needs to be virtualized, although doing so avoids many problems and decreases the time end-users spend with the helpdesk trying to resolve them. An effective application virtualization solution also enables you to manage both virtual applications and installed applications from a common interface.

Storage Virtualization
Generally speaking, storage virtualization refers to providing a logical, abstracted view of physical storage devices. It provides a way for many users or applications to access storage without being concerned with where or how that storage is physically located or managed. It enables the physical storage in an environment to be shared across multiple application servers, and physical devices behind the virtualization layer to be viewed and managed as if they were one large storage pool with no physical boundaries.

Virtualizing storage networks enables two key additional capabilities:
* The ability to mask or hide volumes from servers that are not authorized to access those volumes, providing an additional level of security.
* The ability to change and grow volumes on the fly to meet the needs of individual servers.

Essentially, anything other than a locally attached disk drive might be viewed in this light. Typically, storage virtualization applies to larger SAN (storage area network) arrays, but it is just as accurately applied to the logical partitioning of a local desktop hard drive, redundant array of independent disks (RAID), volume management, virtual memory, file systems and virtual tape. A very simple example is folder redirection in Windows, which lets the information in a folder be stored on any network-accessible drive. Much more powerful (and more complex) approaches include SANs. Large enterprises have long benefited from SAN technologies, in which storage is uncoupled from servers and attached directly to the network. By sharing storage on the network, SANs enable highly scalable and flexible storage resource allocation, high efficiency backup solutions, and better storage utilization.
