Change Begins from Within Through Paradigm Shifts to Your Belief System

Many individuals and that includes organizations which are just groups of individuals united to achieve specific goals continually seek new answers to this centuries old question: How do I change?

With today's generation having more change in one year than their grandparent's experienced in their entire lifetime, learning how to deal with change is critical to personal and organizational success. This is called change management. Yet, change is still a challenge even for those who think that they have open minds.

For example, can you explain the logic of these numbers?

8 5 4 9 7 6 3 2 0

What is going through your mind? Are you adding, subtracting, multiplying to determine the logical sequence? As a business coach and change management consultant, this is one of most favorite activities that I use with my clients from young people to executive board members.

What this activity quickly demonstrates is that the paradigms we use to solve problems with an an individual or as an organization force us in some cases to expend a lot of energy as well as emotions without a satisfactory answer. However, when we change how we see things, the things we look at will change.

This change happens because we have changed within ourselves. Outside forces from motivational speakers to the newest video such as The Secret only provide opportunities to see things differently.

Since we are the way we are because of years of experiences that have further solidify our foundational belief systems, we should not expect change to happen overnight. Change takes time just like reading a positive affirmation statement or what I call a belief statement. When those written statements are read out loud, heard and felt at least three times each day, we can begin to switch our negative beliefs or attitudes for positive ones. Remember, first, we must be the change that we are seeking.

DaimlerChrysler Cars To Be Equipped With BorgWarner All-Wheel Drive System

The Chrysler Group recently announced that their 2007 Chrysler Sebring and the 2008 Dodge Avenger will be equipped with a technologically advanced drive system. The said cars will be outfitted with BorgWarner?s Interactive Torque Management (ITM 3e) system. The technology will enhance the Sebring?s and the Avenger?s stability, performance and fuel efficiency as well. BorgWarner?s ITM 3e system is already being used by the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica and has already made a lot of good impression on the motoring public. The technology that the Sebring and the avenger will employ is only one of the torque management system products of BorgWarner and it is the latest technology developed by the said company.

Cindy Niekamp, the President and General Manager of BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems, is pleased to provide another driving system for the Chrysler Group. ?We are proud to launch another front-wheel, all-wheel drive application with DaimlerChrysler, using BorgWarner?s new ITM 3e system. Niekamp also stated that with the successful integration of the system to the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica, it is logical for other DaimlerChrysler cars to use the same driving technology. The use of the system on cars enhances their traction, stability, and handling. All of which are vital to give a car a great fuel efficiency and superior performance not to mention keeping the occupants a peace of mind knowing that the car will not be prone to rollover.?

BorgWarner will supply the necessary hardware to the Chrysler Group to integrate the said system to their mass produced cars. Aside from the hardware components the company will also provide the needed electronic systems and software controls. The company will also provide DaimlerChrysler with the required vehicle integration support. These wares are part of BorgWarner?s commitment to provide the car manufacturer competent service. The integration of the said system to DaimlerChrysler cars will be a joint effort on the car manufacturer and the vehicle powertrain applications provider. With the necessary tools provided by BorgWarner and the competency of the Chrysler Group, it will not come as a surprise if the Chrysler Sebring and the Dodge Avenger come out of their assembly plants as finely tuned cars.

The driving system developed by BorgWarner uses technologically advanced controls to detect slip on the car?s wheels and effortlessly transfer power from the engine to the said wheel. The technology only needs a couple of milliseconds to convert both the Sebring and the Avenger from a front-wheel drive car to an all-wheel drive vehicle. This is just as fast as a Volvo radiator fan can respond to the radiators? cooling needs. The radical technology allows the Sebring and the Avenger to have great traction not only on the front wheels but on the rear wheels as well.

During high speed driving the system, without human intervention, such a system decreases the power being provided to the rear wheels. This innovative technology allows the car it is equipped with to have better fuel economy than other vehicles with an all-wheel drive configuration.

The system is not only convenient in the sense that it increases a car?s fuel efficiency, handling and stability. It is also developed to be compatible with other car safety systems. The anti-lock brake system can effortlessly complement the technology to provide better driving safety. Another vehicle system that can work with the ITM 3e system is the electronic stability that is featured on most currently mass produced vehicles. The use of the ITM 3e system integrated with both the anti-lock brake system and the electronic stability feature greatly increases the stability and traction of a car as well as providing safety and comfort to the driver and passengers of a car it is integrated to.

Iron Thread is a Powerful System for Achieving Health and Longevity

Iron Thread is a complex of exercises developed by Shaolin Temple monks during centuries. Practicing Iron Thread exercises Shaolin Temple monks achieved amazing results in Kung Fu and became invincible fighters.

However, besides the fighting aspect, Iron Thread is a powerful health improvement method. With the help of isometric exercises and breathing techniques, Iron Thread fills all internal body organs with Qi energy and increases internal body reserve. As a result, organism rejuvenates and keeps its strength and power even to deep old age.

The basis of Iron Thread consists of 12 "Arms-bridges": Tan (hardness), Zhou (flexibility), Bi (compulsion), Chzhi (straightness), Fen (division), Din (fixation), Tsun (instant), Ti (raise), Lju (abandonment), Jun (movement), Chzhi (suppression), Din (correction).

Besides, you should use the contrary factors. Using Qi, the life-giving spirit power, you increase physical forces. Pay attention to the waist and kidney defense. Breathe loudly so that your breath got particular features like for instance joy, anger, grief and gaiety. This is quite that what differs this single combat style from others. I consider that the most complicated thing in Tiet Sin Qigong mastering is the respiration itself and regulation of Qi as well as sound utterance and internal power application. If the above-mentioned items are performed badly, you will get no use or can even harm yourself.

Practicing Iron Thread, it is necessary to remember always one important rule to avoid health damage. It is strongly prohibited to do these exercises with breathing stop. In normality, Q energy circulates together with blood through whole organism and supports regular function of all internal organs.

When you perform force exercise with maximum effort, a powerful surge of Qi occurs. With breathing stop, Qi energy also stops circulation and accumulates in certain vital organs, which causes their damage. That is why fatal cases often occure with weight-lifting sportsmen. Blood excess (and Qi excess too) rises to brain and causes cerebral hemorrhage. The heart and other organs can be damaged as well.

Therefore, it is essential to be very careful practicing Iron Thread exercises and not to do them as isometric, i.e. with breathing stop. In spite of the fact that the exercises are performed with isometric exertion, the hands go forward slowly and simultaneously with exhalation.

In the interval between exhalation, the short limited inhalation takes place. As a result of such breathing, Qi (and blood as well) circulates freely throughout the whole body without any side effects.

On the contrary, Iron Thread is very useful for those with weak health or suffered serious illness. Hung Gar Kung Fu history mentions about quite a number cases when weak health people started practise Iron Thread and not only recovered the health, but, in addition, became famous Kung Fu masters and lived until deep old age.

Alexander Popov dedicated about 20 years to Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu. He is the successor of Hung Gar Kung Fu tradition in the 8th masters' generation. Website: Shaolin Kung Fu and Qigong http://www.shaolin-kungfu-qigong.com

Protect Your Data through Software Mirroring

Protect Your Data through Software Mirroring

* Mirroring is the automated process of writing data to two drives simultaneously. Mirroring is used to provide redundancy.

* If one drive fails, the redundant drive will continue to store the data and provide access to it. The failed drive can then be replaced and the drive set can be re-mirrored.

* This is quick HOW-TO setup your mirroring with two exactly the same hard disks. It assumes you're building a new system from scratch, and setup mirroring at install time. But let's get something straight first: Software mirroring does not mirror the disks - it mirrors partitions. Thanks to Ed Wilts from Redhat General Newsgroups for this remark. So in this guide I'll show you how to setup your partitions on one disk and mirror them to another. After that, we will learn how to rebuild our mirrored partitions after one disk dies.

Why Software Mirroring is Required?

Mirroring is an easy way of protecting the data, from beeing lost from disk crash. For example, If you keep your private stuff on one partition you can mirror this partition to another on the second drive, and if one disk fails, you will not lose your data, since you have the exact same copy of your files on the second disk. The same goes for the whole filesystem. If you setup mirroring correct, you might never have to reinstall your system again.

Software Mirroring vs. Hardware Mirroring

* Disk mirroring can be implemented entirely in software. Software mirroring can be less expensive, but it is also slower. Software mirroring requires the host computer to write the mirrored data twice.

* Disk mirroring can be implemented in hardware on the host I/O controller. The burden of writing each bit of data twice is placed upon the I/O controller, which is specifically designed for it.

* Disk mirroring can also be implemented in hardware on an external storage device, such as a RAID array. In this case, mirroring is completely removed from the hosts responsibility

Benefits of Software Mirroring
* Data is backed up as changes are made keeping the backup copy current.
* Immediate access of an up-to-date remote data backup in case of local server failure.
* Rapid disk to disk data recovery from the central server to remote server.
* When data is restored, data loss is reduced to a minimum.
* Continuous real-time disk to disk backup operation minimizes impact on network performance.
* Backup windows all but eliminated.
* Provides 24X7 data availability and disaster recovery.
