Continental CC5 just RM180/tire
Last Saturday, I went to Klang and find the Kedai Papan, the cheapest tire shop maybe in KL. Replaced my 4 old tires which cost me RM720.00. The others tire shop quote me at RM215/tire. Woowww.... so much gap from the Kedai Papan.
If you are from the shah alam - tol shapadu - go straight through Batu Belah until you arrive at traffic light and then turn left going to Klang town. Just go straight and will go thru some traffic light. The Kedai Papan is just opposite shell.

How much it cost to change Toyota Vios oil engine?
How much it cost to change your Toyota Vios Motor Engine Oil? Normally it will cost more than RM170 and it included car wash and minor inspection. The major parts for this minor maintenance just oil filter, semi synthetics 10-40 Toyota Motor Engine Oil and gasket.
Me? Just send to service workshop. The cost of the maintenance quite cheap and will not exceed RM100. Agreed that there is pro and cons when you send your auto to non service provider.

Humidity Gauge - Hygrometer
A Hygrometer (UK: /haɪˈɡrɒmɪtə/) is an instrument used for measuring the moisture content in the environmental air, or humidity. Humidity is difficult to measure accurately. Most measurement devices usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature, pressure, mass or a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed.
From calculations based on physical principles, or especially by calibration with a reference standard, these measured quantities can lead to a measurement of humidity. Modern electronic devices use temperature of condensation, changes in electrical resistance, and changes in electrical capacitance to measure humidity changes.

Earthing system
In electricity supply systems, an earthing system defines the electrical potential of the conductors relative to the Earth's conductive surface. The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the power supply, and regulations can vary considerably among countries. Most electrical systems connect one supply conductor to earth (ground). If a fault within an electrical device connects a "hot" (unearthed) supply conductor to an exposed conductive surface, anyone touching it while electrically connected to the earth (e.g., by standing on it, or touching an earthed sink) will complete a circuit back to the earthed supply conductor and receive an electric shock.
A protective earth, known as an equipment grounding conductor in the US National Electrical Code, avoids this hazard by keeping the exposed conductive surfaces of a device at earth potential. To avoid possible voltage drop no current is allowed to flow in this conductor under normal circumstances, but fault currents will usually trip or blow the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the circuit. A high impedance line-to-ground fault insufficient to trip the overcurrent protection may still trip a residual-current device (ground fault circuit interrupter or GFCI in North America) if one is present.
In contrast, a functional earth connection serves a purpose other than shock protection, and may normally carry current. Examples of devices that use functional earth connections include surge suppressors and electromagnetic interference filters, certain antennas and measurement instruments. But the most important example of a functional earth is the neutral in an electrical supply system. It is a current-carrying conductor connected to earth, often but not always at only one point to avoid earth currents.
The NEC calls it a groundED supply conductor to distinguish it from the equipment groundING conductor. In most developed countries, 220/230/240V sockets with earthed contacts were introduced either just before or soon after WW2, though with considerable national variation in popularity. Until the mid 1990s, US 110V power outlets generally lacked protective earth terminals. In much of the developing world, the situation is stil unclear, and earthed outlets may or may not be provided, and where they are these may not always be reliably connected.
In the absence of a supply earth, devices needing an earth connection often used the supply neutral. Some used dedicated ground rods. Many 110V appliances have polarized plugs to maintain a distinction between "live" and "neutral", but using the supply neutral for equipment earthing can be highly problematical. "Live" and "neutral" might be accidentally reversed in the outlet or plug, or the neutral-to-earth connection might fail or be improperly installed. Even normal load currents in the neutral might generate hazardous voltage drops. For these reasons, most countries have now mandated dedicated protective earth connections that are now almost universal.

The Global Positioning System (GPS)
The GPS program provides critical capabilities to military, civil and commercial users around the world. In addition, GPS is the backbone for modernizing the global air traffic system.
The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems,[1] integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994.
Advances in technology and new demands on the existing system have now led to efforts to modernize the GPS system and implement the next generation of GPS III satellites and Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX).[2] Announcements from the Vice President and the White House in 1998 initiated these changes. In 2000, U.S. Congress authorized the modernization effort, referred to as GPS III.
In addition to GPS, other systems are in use or under development. The Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) was in use by only the Russian military, until it was made fully available to civilians in 2007. There are also the planned European Union Galileo positioning system, Chinese Compass navigation system, and Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System.

iPad 3 - Next Generation
We expect some major changes with the new iPad 3, but what will they be. My first thoughts are a possible HD design and the possibility of added 3D features. They could even go holographic on us. I imagine they will upgrade the camera features and include some of the newer software we've seen on the Macs. teleconferencing capabilities as well. As displayed maybe they will change the look of the ipad to a wider screen and sleeker design. Either way it will be interesting to see what the new design will have to offer.

Protection Relays
Such relays may be elaborate, using arrays of induction disks, shaded-pole magnets, operating and restraint coils, solenoid-type operators, telephone-relay contacts, and phase-shifting networks. Protection relays respond to such conditions as over-current, over-voltage, reverse power flow, over- and under- frequency. Distance relays trip for faults up to a certain distance away from a substation but not beyond that point. An important transmission line or generator unit will have cubicles dedicated to protection, with many individual electromechanical devices.
The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard ANSI Device Numbers. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. Design and theory of these protective devices is an important part of the education of an electrical engineer who specializes in power systems. Today these devices are nearly entirely replaced with microprocessor-based digital protective relays (numerical relays) that emulate their electromechanical ancestors with great precision and convenience in application.
By combining several functions in one case, numerical relays also save capital cost and maintenance cost over electromechanical relays. However, due to their very long life span, tens of thousands of these "silent sentinels" are still protecting transmission lines and electrical apparatus all over the world.

How to Change Spark Plugs
The humble spark plug has changed very little over the years—and changing them is as simple as ever.
To complete this How-To you will need:
A vehicle owner's manual
New spark plugs
A socket wrench
A spark plug socket
A socket wrench swivel joint
And a socket wrench extension
A spark plug wire puller
A cleaning rag
And rubbing alcohol
Step 1: Let car cool down
Park your car and wait for it to cool down. This may take a few hours, since the spark plugs are among the hottest parts of your engine.
Step 2: Locate spark plugs
Pop open the hood and locate your spark plugs by referring to your owner's manual.
Step 3: Remove one spark plug
Remove one spark plug wire from the end of the row by pulling its boot, or the little cap where it connects to the engine—not by yanking on the wire itself.
Tip: You can also use a spark plug wire puller to easily detach the wire.
Step 4: Attach spark plug to socket wrench
Attach the spark plug socket to the socket wrench. You may need to use a swivel joint and/or a socket wrench extension to reach the spark plug.
Step 5: Remove spark plug
Remove the spark plug by turning the socket wrench counterclockwise.
Step 6: Make sure hole's clean
Make sure that the spark plug hole is clean. If necessary, use a rag and rubbing alcohol or compressed air to clean the spark plug hole.
Step 7: Install new spark plug
Carefully install a new spark plug into the empty hole and tighten it by hand.
Step 8: Secure new spark plug
Use the socket wrench to secure the new spark plug in place.
Step 9: Reconnect spark plug wire
Reconnect the spark plug wire onto the new spark plug.
Tip: Changing your spark plugs one at a time prevents incorrect installation that can affect the car's timing and engine performance.
Step 10: Move on to next spark plug
When you have successfully changed a spark plug, move on to the next one until you have finished installing all new plugs.

What is an actuator?
An actuator is a type of motor for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. It is operated by a source of energy, usually in the form of an electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure or pneumatic pressure, and converts that energy into some kind of motion. An actuator is the mechanism by which an agent acts upon an environment. The agent can be either an artificial intelligence agent or any other autonomous being (human, other animal, etc).
source: wikipedia
An actuator is something that converts energy into motion. It also can be used to apply a force. An actuator typically is a mechanical device that takes energy — usually energy that is created by air, electricity or liquid — and converts it into some kind of motion. That motion can be in virtually any form, such as blocking, clamping or ejecting. Actuators typically are used in manufacturing or industrial applications and might be used in devices such as motors, pumps, switches and valves.

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
While not limited to protecting any particular type of equipment, a UPS is typically used to protect computers, data centers, telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious business disruption or data loss. UPS units range in size from units designed to protect a single computer without a video monitor (around 200 VA rating) to large units powering entire data centers, buildings, or even cities.
