Google Wave: A Complete Guide

Google Wave: A Complete Guide: "*


-

Today has been dominated by news and excitement surrounding Google Wave (Google Wave), Google’s (Google) new real-time communication platform that will launch to the public on September 30th. In fact, there’s been so much buzz that you might just not have enough time to read the thousands of articles being released on Google’s biggest product launch in recent memory.

To make sense of it all, we have compiled key information, definitions, and links related to the launch of Google Wave. This in-depth guide provides an overview of Google Wave, discusses the terminology associated with it, details information on Google Wave applications, (i.e. the Twitter Wave app Twave), and goes over ways to keep yourself informed. We know you’re excited about Google Wave, so here’s what we think you should know:
What is Google Wave?


Google Wave Image

While we suggest reading our article on the launch of Google Wave for more detailed information, here’s the sum of it: Google Wave is a real-time communication platform. It combines aspects of email, instant messaging, wikis, web chat, social networking, and project management to build one elegant, in-browser communication client. You can bring a group of friends or business partners together to discuss how your day has been or share files.

Google Wave has a lot of innovative features, but here are just a few:

- Real-time: In most instances, you can see what someone else is typing, character-by-character.

- Embeddability: Waves can be embedded on any blog or website.

- Applications and Extensions: Just like a Facebook (Facebook) application or an iGoogle gadget, developers can build their own apps within waves. They can be anything from bots to complex real-time games.

- Wiki functionality: Anything written within a Google Wave can be edited by anyone else, because all conversations within the platform are shared. Thus, you can correct information, append information, or add your own commentary within a developing conversation.

- Open source: The Google Wave code will be open source, to foster innovation and adoption amongst developers.

- Playback: You can playback any part of the wave to see what was said.

- Natural language: Google Wave can autocorrect your spelling, even going as far as knowing the difference between similar words, like “been” and “bean.” It can also auto-translate on-the-fly.

- Drag-and-drop file sharing: No attachments; just drag your file and drop it inside Google Wave and everyone will have access.

While these are only a few of the many features of Google Wave, it’s easy to see why people are extremely excited.

Google Wave was the brainchild of a team based out of Sydney, Australia (Australia). The core team members are two brothers, Jens and Lars Rasmussen, and lead project manager Stephanie Hannon, all of whom were involved in Google Maps (Google Maps) previously. Google Wave was announced today at Google’s I/O Developer conference, although the product will not be available to the public for several months.

We detail even more of these features in our article The Top 6 Game-Changing Features of Google Wave.
Terminology


Wave Entitles Google Image

Google Wave actually has its own lingo – yes, you have to learn a few definitions if you’re going to really understand this new communication platform. Having knowledge of these terms will help you understand more about Google’s newest project.

- Wave: A wave, specifically, refers to a specific threaded conversation. It can include just one person, or it can include a group of users or even robots (explained below). The best comparison I can make is that it’s like your entire instant messaging (IM) history with someone. Anything you’ve ever discussed in a single chat or conversation is a wave.

- Wavelet: A wavelet is also a threaded conversation, but only a subset of a larger conversation (or a wave). It’s like a single IM conversation – a small part of a larger conversation and a larger history. Wavelets, though, can be created and managed separately from a wave.

- Blip (BLIP): Even smaller than a Wavelet, a Blip is a single, individual message. It’s like a single line of an IM conversation. Blips can have other blips attached to them, called children. In addition, blips can either be published or unpublished (once again, it’s sort of like typing out an IM message but not yet sending it).

- Document: A document actually refers to the content within a blip. This seems to refer to the actual characters, words, and files associated with a blip.

- Extension: An extension is a mini-application that works within a wave. So these are the apps you can play with while using Wave. There are two main types of extenisons: Gadgets and Robots

- Gadgets: A gadget is an application users can participate with, many of which are built on Google’s OpenSocial platform. A good comparison would be iGoogle gadgets or Facebook applications.

- Robots: Robots are an automated participant within a wave. They can talk with users and interact with waves. They can provide information from outside sources (i.e. Twitter (Twitter)) or they can check content within a wave and perform actions based on them (i.e. provide you a stock quote if a stock name is mentioned).

- Embeded Wave: An embeded wave is a way to take a Google Wave and the conversation within it and place it on your website. Users could use this as a chatroom, as a way to contact you, or for something more.

Wave Gadgets


Google Wave Gadgets Image

A Wave Gadget is one of two types of Google Wave extensions. Gadgets are fully-functional applications. According to Google, gadgets are primarily for changing the look and feel of waves, although this seems to only scratch the surface of the potential of a wave gadget.

First: almost any iGoogle or OpenSocial gadget can run within Google Wave. That means thousands of applications that have been already created will work in Google Wave. Second: a gadget built within Google Wave can take advantage of live interaction with multiple users. This means something like a live online game with active participation from all users. In that way, it has similarities to Facebook or MySpace (MySpace) applications, which take advantage of your friend network to make games, quizzes, and applications more meaningufl and useful.

Gadgets are specific to individual waves, rather than to specific users. Thus, it’s not like having a Facebook app on your profile – the gadget belongs to everyone within the wave. They also do not have titles, to better integrate with the actual conversation. Some of the gadgets already built include a Sudoku gadget, Bidder (which turns your wave into an auction), and Maps (which allows for collaboration on a Google Map).

For a more technical explanation, be sure to check out Google’s Wave Gadgets Tutorial.
Wave Robots


Google Wave Robots Image

Robots are the other type of Google Wave extension. Robots are like having another person within a Google Wave conversation, except that they’re automated. They’re a lot like the old IM bots of the past, although far more robust. Robots can modify information in waves, interact with users, communicate with others waves, and pull information from outside sources.

Because it acts like a user, you can define its behavior based on what happens in the chat. You could build one as simple as “change the word dog to the word cat” or one as complex as a fully-functional debugger. We’ll probably start seeming some very advanced robots in the near future.

Some of the robots already in service include Debuggy (an in-wave debugger), Stocky (which pulls stock prices based on stock quote mentions), and Tweety (the Twave robot, which displays tweets inside of a wave).

A more advanced explanation is available at Google’s Wave Robots Overview. We also have an inside look at Google Wave extensions and robots.
Wave Embeds


Google Wave Embeds Image

Wave embeds are a little more complex than embedding a YouTube (YouTube) video onto your blog, yet in the end, that’s really what Google Wave Embeds are: a way to take Google Waves (google waves) onto a third party website. Embedded Waves support many of the functions of the actual Google Wave client, including dragging-and-dropping files.

While the Wave Embeds is still very early stage, Google has already built two: YouTube Playlist Discuss and Multiple Extensions Embed. The former allows you to discuss a YouTube video via a wave and the latter allows for interaction with multiple waves on the same page.

One possibility: Google Wave Embeds may be a real-time replacement to static comments. If Google perfects wave embeds, you could even see YouTube.com comments replaced with waves, although it is way too early to make any calls on the potential of this.

Google’s Wave Embed Developer’s Guide has more advanced information embedding waves.

PLIVAzdravlje - Prehrana kod povišenog kolesterola

PLIVAzdravlje - Prehrana kod povišenog kolesterola: "17.06.2009.

Kolesterol je kompleksna molekula, proizvod ljudskog i životinjskog metabolizma. Sastavni je dio stanične membrane i steroidnih hormona. Tijelo bez njega ne može opstati, a svoje potrebe zadovoljava endogenim i egzogenim kolesterolom. Endogeni kolesterol je onaj kolesterol koji stvara sam organizam, točnije jetra, a dnevno organizam odrasle osobe može proizvesti oko 1 gram kolesterola. Egzogeni kolesterol je kolesterol koji unosimo hranom, isključivo namirnicama životinjskog podrijetla, budući da biljke ne sadrže kolesterol.
Kolesterol u našem tijelu
Opće preporuke kod hiperkolesterolemije
Kolesterol u našem tijelu

Kolesterol se među stanicama prenosi specijalnim prenosiocima koji se nazivaju lipoproteini. Nekoliko je vrsta prenosilaca kolesterola, a posebno su zanimljivi lipoproteini male gustoće (LDL) i lipoproteini velike gustoće (HDL).

Povišena razina ukupnog i LDL-kolesterola te smanjena razina HDL-kolesterola povećavaju rizik za razvoj bolesti srca i krvnih žila. S druge strane, adekvatne razine istih ili smanjene razine ukupnog i LDL- te povećana razina HDL-kolesterola, taj isti rizik smanjuju.

Lipoproteini male gustoće (LDL) prenose kolesterol iz jetre krvlju do stanica. Višak kolesterola, kojega stanica ne koristi, može se taložiti na stijenkama arterija koje nose krv do srca i mozga. Na nastale naslage kolesterola mogu se taložiti i neke druge tvari te se stvara plak koji s vremenom može uzrokovati prvenstveno aterosklerozu, a potom i ostale bolesti srca i krvožilja. Ovo je razlog zašto se LDL-kolesterol naziva 'loš' kolesterol.

Lipoproteini velike gustoće (HDL) su molekule koje cirkuliraju kroz krv i uklanjaju višak kolesterola iz krvi i tkiva vraćajući ga u jetru. Na ovaj način smanjuje se vjerojatnost nagomilavanja kolesterola na stijenkama žila kao i vjerojatnost razvoja kardiovaskularnih bolesti, zbog čega se HDL-kolesterol naziva 'dobar' kolesterol.

Promjene životnih, posebice prehrambenih navika često su prva terapija koja se savjetuje osobama koje imaju povišenu razinu kolesterola u krvi. Tek nakon što se prehranom ne uspije sniziti povišena razina kolesterola, liječenje se nastavlja primjenom lijekova, najčešće statina, no i tada, kako bi liječenje bilo uspješno, prehrana mora prilagođena.
Opće preporuke kod hiperkolesterolemije
Pileću, goveđu i druge mesne juhe prije konzumacije ohladite u hladnjaku dok masnoća ne postane kruta i digne se na površinu te je potom ukonite žlicom.

1. Ako imate prekomjernu tjelesnu masu, smršavite! Iako se visoka razina kolesterola ne može uvijek dovesti u vezu sa pretilošću, pretile osobe češće imaju povišenu razinu kolesterola nego osobe adekvatne tjelesne mase.

2. Vaš dnevni unos kolesterola ne bi trebao prekoračiti 300 mg ili čak 200 mg (ako je razina kolesterola izrazito povišena).

* Prije pripreme peradi kožicu valja ukloniti jer sadrži značajne količine kolesterola.
* Ograničite unos jaja, jetrica, bubrega i mozga. Ove namirnice izuzetno su bogate kolesterolom.
* Tjedno ne konzumirajte više od 2-4 jaja, uključujući ona koja se koriste za pripremu drugih jela.

3. Neka masti u ukupnom kalorijskom unosu osiguravaju do 25-30% kalorija, od toga zasićene do 8%, višestruko nezasićene do 10%, i jednostruko nezasićene do 15%.

* Pileću, goveđu i druge mesne juhe prije konzumacije ohladite u hladnjaku dok masnoća ne postane kruta i digne se na površinu te je potom ukonite žlicom.
* Prije pripreme crvenog mesa poželjno je ukloniti sve vidljive masnoće.
* Uvijek birajte mlijeko i mliječne proizvode s niskim udjelom mliječne masti.
* Kada kuhate tjesteninu izbjegavajte dodavanje ulja, pri kuhanju riže izbjegavajte dodavanje maslaca ili margarina, kada kuhate pire-krumpir izbjegavajte dodavanje maslaca i punomasnog mlijeka!
* Pri dodavanju masnoća jelu, prednost dajte maslinovom, bučinom, repičinom i suncokretovom ulju

4. Bjelančevine bi trebale osigurati 15% ukupnog kalorijskog unosa. Bijelo meso peradi, krto crveno, meso kunića, patke, riba i soja dobri su izvori visokovrijednih proteina. Prema studiji objavljenoj u časopisu Circulation, osobe čija razina kolesterola prelazi 6,21 mmol/L, mogu imati koristi ako dnevno konzumiraju 25-50 g sojinih proteina.

5. Voće i povrće neka bude okosnica Vaše prehrane. Ono obiluje antioksidansima koji dokazano sprječavaju oksidaciju LDL-kolesterola te posljedično smanjuju rizik za stvaranje plaka na krvnim žilama.

6. Topiva vlakna otapaju se u procesu probave stvarajući viskoznu, gelu sličnu masu koja štiti cjelokupan probavni sustav od apsorpcije različitih tvari, pa tako i kolesterola. Pokazano je da povišen unos prehrambenih vlakana, bez drugih promjena prehrambenih navika, može rezultirati smanjenjem kolesterola za 2-4%. Jedna američka studija pokazala je da dnevni unos 25-30 g prehrambenih vlakana može rezultirati smanjenjem razine kolesterola za čak 12%.

* Voće i povrće, orašasti plodovi te neke žitarice (zob, ječam, raž) najbolji su izvor topivih prehrambenih vlakana, ali i biljnih sterola, tvari kojima su brojne studije dokazale blagotvorno djelovanje na regulaciju razine kolesterola u krvi.

7. Ispitujući utjecaj biljnih sterola na smanjenje razine kolesterola u krvi došlo se do zaključka da osobe sa graničnim vrijednostima za visoki kolesterol u krvi (5,17-6,16 mmol/L) imaju najviše koristi od unosa biljnih sterola. Unos biljnih sterola u dozi od 2,4 g dnevno može rezultirati smanjenjem razine LDL-a za 9,3-14,6%. Komercijalno, biljni se steroli najčešće dodaju biljnim uljima, jogurtu, soku od naranče, margarinu, mlijeku i sojinom mlijeku.

8. Ograničite unos kave. Iako su rezultati studija o utjecaju unosa kave na razinu kolesterola kontradiktorni, do konačnih zaključaka dobro je držati se umjerenosti. Umjereno znači 2-3 šalice dnevno.

9. Uvrstite u prehranu laneno sjeme. Sjemenke lana kao dio prehrane sa smanjenim udjelom masti povoljno utječu na rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti u bolesnika s povišenom razinom kolesterola.

10. Vježbajte redovito! Tjelovježba povoljno utječe na lipidni profil.

11. Dobro planirana vegetarijanska prehrana, prema brojnim istraživanjima, može polučiti jednako djelovanje na razinu kolesterola u krvi kao i lijekovi statini koji se koriste u istu svrhu. Razmislite i o ovoj mogućnosti!"

Epidemija razvoda ili?

Vec se priblizava ponoc,ja na kaucu,polako se unjonjavam ...hehehehehe...gledajuci uvijek ponovno iste serije na nasim probramima...kad ono vijesti,eto danas ih bas i nisam pratila pa sam e prisilila malo odbuditi tj,razbuditi i sto to ja cujem u moru vaznih,ozbiljnih vijesti i dvije ne manje vazne za nasu zajednicu,nasu mladu drzavu....eto Kerum najavio,tj,objavio na radio Dalmaciji/ciji je on sam vlasnik/da ima nove dijevojku s kojom ceka bebu i da ostavlja obitelj i tako to.Kako nas vrijedni novinariizvjestavaju,njemu je jako zao i izvinjava se obitelji!!Ma cujte Vi ovo,on se na radiju izvinjava obitelji,al kako naglasava zadnji 5 godina ima ljubavnicu kojj je sad 24 godine.
Ljudi moji pa to nije moguce,ala nasih udarnih vijesti,nes ti vijesti kad vec ko zna koliko cijeli Split trubi o njegovoj mladjahnoj i crnkosoj ljubavnici!
Jedino sto kad razmislim je ovdje "dobro" jeszt cinjenica da je on u braku zadnjh 19 god ,a i njegovo carstvo je toliko staro pa iz tog proizlazi da njegova jos uvijek sadasnja supruga ima po nasim zakonima pravo na pola imetka...ili pak nema..ko ce ga kod nas znati!
u svakom slucaju ja drzim stranu suprugi i djeci!Nadam se da ce bar materijalno obezglaviti Keruma!
Al za veceras sve to nije bilo dovoljno,i nasa mila Nina nam se obratila s porukom o sporazumnom raskidu braka,Njoj je isto tako zao!Sad ovdje dijeca nisu involvirana pa je nekako sve lakse!
i sad na kraju,ako smo je oko 90% gradjana hrvatske rimokatolicke vjeroispovijesti,kako to da tako lako kidaju bracne zajednice?
Mozda je ovo pitanje sasvim deplasirano!Valjda je!
P.S. Kako je nas prvospomenuti gospodin i utjecajan i snalazljiv mozda ishoduje i ponistenje braka od strane crkve.Tko ce ga znat!Zivi bili pa vidjeli!
