Electronic payment works by allowing consumers to enter payment information like credit card numbers into online forms to complete purchases with a click of the mouse, without re-entering details each time. Common electronic payment methods include credit cards, debit cards, and automated clearing house transfers, offering benefits like one-time account entry for stored payment profiles. However, electronic payment also raises privacy and identity theft concerns regarding the security of storing financial information online.
The document summarizes the findings of a market survey of 22 top-tier solar energy analysts and investors. Key concerns raised include the industry's high costs, current overcapacity, and inconsistent communication practices. Investors view most solar companies as commodity businesses rather than technology stocks due to lack of product differentiation. They agree overcapacity poses risks and consolidation is unlikely to help. The industry needs to better manage expectations and improve transparency to address investor concerns over credibility and planning ability.
The document introduces the Niyum framework, describing its history and motivation. It discusses key concepts like MVC architecture, ORM for mapping objects to database tables, and URL mapping. The framework aims to save time by avoiding repetitive coding and providing standard reusable code and libraries through its implementation of common patterns like MVC.
The document proposes a marketing campaign to launch the BIG Card, a debit card that earns points for purchases to redeem for free AirAsia flights. The campaign would leverage Tony Fernandes' fame as the face of AirAsia by filming a "leaked" video of him angrily calling for better deals to help everyone fly. This would generate interest for a press conference where Tony announces the BIG Card launch at a mall transformed to resemble an airport for a week with flight attendants, check-in counters, and other airport elements to promote signups. A variety of advertisements would also promote the BIG Card.
This document provides a summary of the author's travels through Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. The author was fascinated by these countries that were previously unknown due to being closed off during the Soviet era. Over several years, the author traveled over 40,000 km through the diverse regions, documenting life and landscapes. The cultures and people of Central Asia proved warm and hospitable despite the countries facing challenges. The author hopes their photos provide glimpses into the beauty and offerings of Central Asia.
Liberia has come a long way since the end of its civil war in 2003. The 14-year conflict killed over 250,000 people and destroyed much of the country's infrastructure and social systems. However, Liberia has proven its resilience, with buildings being repaired, schools and hospitals reopening, and streets filling with commerce again. While challenges remain like poverty and poor infrastructure, Liberia is developing industries like mining and fishing, and working to strengthen law enforcement, education, and support for children and communities to build a lasting peace. Under President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf's leadership, Liberia is emerging from conflict and making progress on its path to stability and prosperity.
WebSocket is a new web technology that provides bidirectional communication between a client and server over a TCP connection. It aims to overcome limitations of Ajax techniques like long polling and streaming that used HTTP. The WebSocket API was standardized by the W3C and IETF and is supported in HTML5 browsers through native JavaScript. It enables new types of web applications by facilitating real-time data transfer and interactive experiences.
This document discusses potential updates to the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) specification and some of the challenges involved. It notes that WSGI 1.0 has limitations for asynchronous systems and middleware. The author explored ideas for WSGI 2.0 like making requests and responses objects and adding context managers for resource management, but concluded it may be too late since so much code relies on the current specification.
1) WebSockets allow for bidirectional communication between a client and server that overcomes limitations of HTTP such as polling. It uses a single TCP connection for sending messages back and forth.
2) The WebSocket handshake establishes a connection via HTTP that is then switched to the WebSocket protocol. Messages can then be sent simultaneously in both directions.
3) Compared to polling, WebSockets have much lower overhead since it uses a single connection rather than multiple HTTP requests, resulting in significantly lower bandwidth usage even with many connected clients.
The document discusses the WebSocket protocol, which facilitates two-way communication between clients and servers in web applications without the need for multiple HTTP connections. It outlines the protocol's structure, including a handshake and message framing, while emphasizing its security model based on origins commonly used in web browsers. The document also compares WebSocket to other technologies like Comet and presents various resources for further exploration.
PyCon HK 2015 - Monitoring the performance of python web applicationsGraham Dumpleton
?
The presentation by Graham Dumpleton at PyCon HK discusses monitoring Python web application performance with an emphasis on reducing transaction response times and optimizing resource use. It covers concepts such as CPU vs I/O bound processing, concurrency, and the importance of scaling processes and threads efficiently. Practical configurations for managing processes and threads in a WSGI environment are also provided to enhance application performance.
The HTML5 WebSocket API allows for true full-duplex communication between a client and server. It uses the WebSocket protocol which provides a standardized way for the client to "upgrade" an HTTP connection to a WebSocket connection, allowing for messages to be sent in either direction at any time with very little overhead. This enables real-time applications that were previously difficult to achieve with traditional HTTP requests. Common server implementations include Kaazing WebSocket Gateway, Jetty, and Node.js. The JavaScript API provides an easy way for clients to connect, send, and receive messages via a WebSocket connection.
This document provides an overview of HTML5 WebSocket technology. It discusses limitations of traditional HTTP and how WebSocket enables full-duplex communication by reducing overhead and latency compared to alternative techniques like polling. The WebSocket API and protocol are introduced, along with browser support and server library options. Key benefits of WebSocket include unlimited connections per server, very small overhead, and true real-time bidirectional communication across the web.
Wearing only a felt hat, oven mitts and flips flops a Kazak man dripping with sweat picks up a 2 meter long rod with a bucket on the end and uses it to open the metal door to the banya¡¯s (sauna) oven and shovel in water. The upstairs loft of the banya is packed with mixture of ethnic Kazaks and those of Russia decent. All of whom go instantly quiet as the hot burning steam fills the large room. No one dares to move or speak, knowing the intense heat would make it very difficult, and instead everyone waits. Slowly the room cools slightly and movement is again an option. The silence is broken with the crack of bundle of branches from a birch tree (venik) against one mans sweaty back. Slowly others join in with the whipping practice which is said to improve circulation and is done by a friend or to oneself. The once quiet room becomes loud with the noises of the whipping sounds which eventually synchronize into one common rhythm as if it was an army marching band.
The Arasan Baths lies in the heart of Central Asia¡¯s most cosmopolitan city, Almaty. It was built during the Soviet Union in the the 1970¡¯s by the Party Secretary at the time ¨C Kunayev. He was said to be well liked by the public but his extreme over spending on the Bath complex got him in trouble with his party superiors, by whom he was fined for. The complex is said to be partially inspired by the ancient bathhouse in the Kazak city of Turkestan, which are much smaller and more modest in comparison. The complex houses Russian, Finnish and Turkish baths as well as several private suites for group rental. As people are mostly naked in the public baths they are separate men¡¯s and women¡¯s sections. The Russian style banya is the most popular section in the building and allows access to 4 saunas, a large palatial swimming pool and a changing room resembles more a fancy hotel lobby complete with a bar, couches and chandeliers. Naturally massage serves are offered throughout.
Banyas are said to rejuvenate, cleanse and energize your entire body. To some locals there is nothing that a good banya and shot of vodka can¡¯t cure. For some it¡¯s a much needed escape from the outside world ¨C relaxation for mind, body and soul. Puskin himself said ¡°¡.the banya is like the Russian's second mother." Although the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union is slowly becoming a distant memory to the Kazaks in Almaty, the banya remains as popular as ever. Throughout the cold winters tickets sell out most nights, and for New years day one has to buy ticket days in advance for the privilege to sweat away the dirt from the previous year and whip yourself into shape for the next.

Since 2014, the Netherlands has worked toward more sustainable urban logistics through the Green Deal Zero Emission City Logistics. Early years focused on local pilot projects¡ªsuch as city hubs, electric vehicles, and water transport¡ªdesigned as ¡±living labs¡± to explore and learn. Following the 2019 Climate Agreement, the ambition increased: by 2025, 30 to 40 major municipalities aim to establish zero-emission zones, where only fully electric trucks and vans may operate. As of January 2025, 14 cities have implemented such zones, banning vehicles with Euro 4 or lower emission standards. By 2030, only zero-emission vehicles will be permitted.
The rollout raises important questions: Which transitions are smooth? Where are the main challenges, and who is most affected? Are issues local or widespread? How are small and large companies affected differently? Researchers play a vital role in evaluating these developments, sharing insights, and supporting a just and effective transition to zero-emission city logistics.
