Podcasts Summarising
I've just listened for some podcasts, to be exact 4 of them.
The first one I listened was from 16th of January, 2007. It was about ticket's pricing for football matches, demand for tickets in dependence of different teams and leagues. If the game is between two famouse and popular teams which are in Premier League, so the price for tickets is high, sometimes it's too high and it leads to lower demand and the grounds with capacity of 32000 seats having only 16000 spectators despite that there is a posibility to make lower price for tickets and have much more spectators on the match. But anyway in Premier League's matches generally nearly half of all tickets sales, but in the lower Leagues the situation is much worse, the attendance in their games is only about one third in average. So why the stadiums' administrations doing nothing about that? There are huge amount of seats available on the matches, tickets for which could be sold, and the stadiums could get more profit!
The second podcast I've listened was quite new, it was recorded in 11th of September, the year of 2008 and it was about oil prices. Because of global credit cranch which is going on, the prices for oil drop down, just in July of this year the price for oil was $247 for one barrel and analitics were forecasting the price of $240 Dollars for oil for this year but they were wrong, in the begining of September the price has fallen till $100 and prices for petrol fell as well. And also the dollar exchange rate to pound and euro has grown, what is bad news for Europe if they buy an oil from USA. In the last OPEC meeting in Vienna was discussed some topics such as lowered demand for oil from Europe, prices etc. And supply of oil this year also decreased......Yeah, chaos reigns the World.
The third one. It was about fashion market, the podcast was recorded in 27th of April,2007. To be exact it was about PRIMARK, which is one of the biggest clothes supplier and the biggest chip and fashionable clothes supplier in UK market (the information is not exact, just my opinion). From information that I undestood from this podcast: the Primark supplies chip and fashionable clothes, what gives a posibility for young people to buy new clothes much more often than they afford themselves to buy from expensive shops, Primark is the unique store which competes with chip asian clothes. But nowadays the paying fees for workers in Asia are going up thats why Primark could win this competition.
Unfortunatelly Windows Media Player couldn't open the last podcast I loaded, so here is finishing my summarising for podcasts. (it's quarter past six now (6:15 am!) so I'm not gonna sleep today =] )

It's a late night now, I'm not sleeping because I slept 12 or 13 hours last night. I know that I have to post information about "Recycling and Sun Screen" Vending Machines, about "Crucifix" MP3 Player, I found some info about them but it's too boring to read and to write those informations as well. Maybe the reason of my laziness that it's night time now or maybe not.....

The adjustable speed controls product line ranges from 1/50 to 900 horsepower. The Company's industrial control products include servo products, DC controls, position controls, and inverter and vector drives. With these products, the Company provides its customers the ability to purchase a "drive" from one manufacturer. Baldor defines a "drive" as an industrial motor and an electronic control. The Company's power generator line ranges from 1.3 kilowatts to 2000 kilowatts. Sales of industrial electric motors represented approximately 78% of the Company's business in 2005; almost all of the remaining sales were comprised of power generators, drives, speed reducers, industrial grinders, buffers, polishing lathes, stampings, castings, and repair parts. Baldor's industrial products are designed, manufactured, and marketed for general purpose uses and to individual customer requirements and specifications. The Company's products are distributed in more than 60 foreign countries, principally in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, the Far East, and Latin America.

Manufacturing many of its own components permits the Company to better manage cost, quality, and availability. In addition to manufacturing components, the Company's motor manufacturing operations include machining, welding, winding, assembling, and finishing operations. The raw materials necessary for the Company's manufacturing operations are available from several sources. These materials include steel, copper wire, gray iron castings, aluminum, insulating materials, electronic components, and combustion engines.
It is an information which I found in the Global Net.
And some bad news, I still didn't learn how to PODCAST :( Certainly it is my fault that I didn't learn how to do it, but.....Mary promised to teach me how to podcast, I waited for that, but she didn't do it.....So now I'm sitting in my room and writing a post for my blog, and I know that I have only 5 hours and 7 minutes until my Business classes and I know that I won't podcast again and after 5 hours and 6 or maybe 16 minutes Chris will ask me :
- What have you done Talgat? Have you done your podcast or video? Or you just had been doing nothing while the weekends?
And I will say :
- No Chris, I didn't podcast, and didn't record a video.
Chris will ask me :
- Why?
Then I will say 345th time :
- I don't know how to do podcast and I don't want to record a video because I'm too shy! )
But all could be another IF MARY WAS RESPOSIBLE FOR HER PROMISES!!!
Anyway, now I have a little more than 3 hours for sleeping, I hope it'll be enough to don't fall asleep at business studies lessons in the morning!

The 90 second Dual Pizza Oven.
The 90 Second Dual Pizza Oven.This is the double deck pizza oven that cooks two 12" fresh pizzas in 90 seconds (or frozen pizzas in three minutes), allowing you to cook pizzeria-worthy pies 15 times faster than a traditional oven. The powerful device heats to 797 F (150 F higher than most professional pizza ovens), resulting in pizzas with crisp yet tender crusts. Both oven decks have roof-mounted 1,440-watt coil heating elements that ensure perfectly caramelized cheese and toppings, while the ceramic pizza stones distribute heat evenly across the dough and absorb excess moisture, resulting in faster cooking times and a crispier crust than pizza cooked on a sheet tray. The unit's compact size allows for use on a countertop or bar, and the stainless steel oven racks sl ide out, allowing you to easily insert and remove pizzas. The temperature of each oven adjusts independently from 200 F to 797F, the tempered glass windows allow you to monitor cooking progress, and the unit has dual 30-minute timers. Stainless steel housing wipes clean.

***TWEEL***
In the year of 2005 "Michelin" showed to public something really NEW.....It was a "TweeL".
What is "Tweel"?? Tweel is radically new kind of wheels which millions of people use on their cars every day. The differences between them that tweels are an airless, integrated tyre in combination with wheel. Tweels gives much more ability than ordinary wheels, such as to climb stairs etc., in other words tweels offering mobility freedom. So use the tweels and offroad will not be a hindrance for you!!
Beyond these first real-world application, Michelin has additional projects for Tweel on construction skidsteers and a variety of military vehicles. So I hope this idea will be accepted by people and one day we all will use these today's new technology as an ordinary thing.

Waterless Urinal
In my opinion, waterless urinals won't be popular the next few years, but in our world with scarce resources, waterless urinals will become in demand, because idea of saving any resources will be much stronger in the nearest future and also there is a possibility that "BrightWater" Company will improve their waterless urinals and make them much better.
Nowadays "ZeroFlush" waterless urinal has no analogues in the world, and it has many advantages such as saving 150 000 liters of pure water by one urinal every year, low maintenance, possibility to use it an impressive 15 000 times before any maintenance is required, lower installation costs – with no water supply pipework, cisterns or flush control valves and of course, very attractive pay back period of under 12 months.
I calculated that If we equip one of ours residences, for example Blackwell, where stays 38 students, by 6 waterless urinals of the model ZF101 and they will be used 12 times a day, the investment payback will be within 328 days. But it would work only if all residence's stayers were males!
