10 συμβουλές για ασφαλή οδήγηση με βροχή!
Οι μετακινήσεις εν μέσω έντονων βροχοπτώσεων χρειάζονται ιδιαίτερη προσοχή.
Όταν κινούμαστε με το αυτοκίνητο σε βρεγμένο οδόστρωμα οφείλουμε να είμαστε σωστά προετοιμασμένοι, καθώς παραμονεύουν παγίδες, ορισμένες εκ των οποίων μπορούν να αντιμετωπιστούν έγκαιρα, εφόσον είμαστε προνοητικοί και προσεκτικοί.
Παρακάτω ακολουθούν δέκα σημαντικές συμβουλές για ασφαλείς μετακινήσεις εν μέσω βροχοπτώσεων, έτσι ώστε να μην βρεθείς σε δύσκολη θέση.
10 σημαντικές συμβουλές για να οδηγείς με ασφάλεια στη βροχή!
1. Ελέγχουμε τα ελαστικά του αυτοκινήτου μας και τα αντικαθιστούμε εφόσον αυτό κριθεί απαραίτητο. Ασφάλεια πάνω από όλα!
2. Φροντίζουμε οι υαλοκαθαριστήρες μας να βρίσκονται σε θέση να σαρώνουν άριστα το παρμπρίζ και να μην αφήνουν γραμμές ή θαμπάδες. Απαγορεύεται να μην έχουμε καλή ορατότητα!
3. Εξαερίζουμε σωστά την καμπίνα του αυτοκινήτου. Παράλληλα, χρησιμοποιούμε τον κλιματισμό για το ξεθάμπωμα των παρμπρίζ. Είπαμε, η ορατότητα είναι το Α και το Ω σε δύσκολες καιρικές συνθήκες!
4. Τσεκάρουμε ότι τα φωτιστικά σώματα του αυτοκινήτου (τόσο εμπρός όσο και πίσω) λειτουργούν στην εντέλεια και δεν υπάρχουν καμμένοι λαμπτήρες.
Σε περίπτωση που ανακαλύψουμε κάτι μεμπτό, προχωρούμε σε αντικατάσταση τους, καθώς με σωστά φώτα βλέπουμε καλύτερα στο δρόμο, ενώ γινόμαστε και ευκολότερα αντιληπτοί από τους άλλους οδηγούς!

5. Προσοχή όταν περνάμε από λιμνάζοντα νερά στους δρόμους. Υπάρχει πιθανότητα κάτω από την επιφάνεια του νερού να κρύβεται κάποια λακκούβα, η οποία δεν αποκλείεται να προκαλέσει ζημιά στα ελαστικά ή στον τροχό του αυτοκινήτου μας, ενώ ελλοχεύει και ο κίνδυνος να χάσουμε τον έλεγχο του οχήματος. Μακριά από εμάς!
6. Προσοχή επίσης στο συχνό φαινόμενο της υδρολίσθησης! Όταν μαζεύεται υπερβολική ποσότητα νερού στο οδόστρωμα, δεν προλαβαίνει να διαφύγει όλο άμεσα μέσω των αυλακώσεων του πέλματος του ελαστικού.
Έτσι το πέλμα δεν πατά πλέον στο οδόστρωμα, αλλά «κολυμπάει» στο νερό. Σε περίπτωση που διαπιστώσουμε ότι το αυτοκίνητό μας υδρολισθαίνει και χάνουμε τον έλεγχό του, το σημαντικότερο είναι να διατηρήσουμε την ψυχραιμία μας.
Δεν φρενάρουμε, κρατάμε σταθερά το τιμόνι και αποφεύγουμε απότομες κινήσεις, ενώ κόβουμε ταχύτητα αφήνοντας το γκάζι. Αν τα ελαστικά μας βρίσκονται σε καλή κατάσταση, η πρόσφυση θα επανέλθει σχεδόν αμέσως!
7. Οδηγούμε με ηρεμία. Αποφεύγουμε τις απότομες επιταχύνσεις και επιβραδύνσεις, κρατούμε μεγαλύτερες αποστάσεις ασφαλείας σε σχέση με τη στεγνή άσφαλτο, ενώ συμπεριφερόμαστε ώριμα για να αποφύγουμε δυσάρεστα απρόοπτα, τόσο για εμάς, όσο και για τους γύρω μας!
8. Ελέγχουμε ότι η ρεζέρβα μας βρίσκεται σε καλή κατάσταση, καθώς επίσης και το προειδοποιητικό τρίγωνο, το οποίο τοποθετούμε στο δρόμο σε περίπτωση ανάγκης. Παράλληλα δεν ξεχνάμε, να τσεκάρουμε το φαρμακείο που διαθέτει το όχημα, προσθέτοντας ό,τι λείπει. Οι λεπτομέρειες κάνουν τη διαφορά!
9. Διεξάγουμε έναν χειμερινό έλεγχο στο αυτοκίνητό μας, τον οποίο μάλιστα αρκετές εταιρείες τον προσφέρουν εντελώς δωρεάν. Η πρόληψη δεν έβλαψε ποτέ κανέναν!
10. Ξεκινάμε νωρίτερα από το σπίτι για τις καθημερινές μετακινήσεις μας, καθώς η βροχή δημιουργεί καθυστερήσεις στην κυκλοφορία, με αποτέλεσμα οι οδηγοί να «οπλίζονται» με νευρικότητα αντί για ψυχραιμία, άρα οι κίνδυνοι ενδεχόμενων ατυχημάτων αυξάνονται. Ειρήνη υμίν κύριοι οδηγοί!
Και φυσικά, δεν πρέπει να ξεχνάς να ανανεώνεις την ασφάλεια του αυτοκινήτου σου έγκαιρα! Μπες στο Insurance Market, σύγκρινε ασφάλειες και βρες αυτό που καλύπτει καλύτερα τις ανάγκες σου, με εγγύηση χαμηλότερης τιμής!

What is Cyberspace
While researching the mean Cyberspace i found the following statment from William Gibson which was firtsly mentioned in "Neuromancer", 1984 and i would like to share it with you.
"Cyberspace, a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding."

The Profiler: Examine crime scenes on your iPhone
In last weeks lecture, Steven Conway mentioned a game (I am so sorry I don’t remember the name of the game :P ) to Zuzana Husarova and the class (guest lecturer of previous weeks lecture) in order to relate gaming and digital fiction.

So, today I am going to post a small review about a game I just found in Apples Appstore which is available for iPod touch and iPhone users. The name of the game is The profiler and the aim is to examine crime scenes and find the clues on your iPhone or iPod touch.

The user mast examine, find clues and find the identity of the serial killer on a number of crime scenes, I have to mention that those crime scenes are plain images with some small text tips which will help you find where the killer is. The user must zoom in, zoom out in order to examine the image of the crime scene and he must be very careful on the objects of the scene.
The game is available for 1,79£ on Apple Appstore

Digital Fiction - guest lecture Zuzana Husarova
This week he had a guest lecture by Zuzana Husarova.
"Zuzana Husarova is a visiting PhD student with the Research Institute for Media, Art and Design, University of Bedfordshire. Her home institution is The Institute of World Literature at Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, Slovakia. She has MA degree in English Language & Literature (English & American Studies) at the University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava. She is writing her thesis on hyperfictions, cyberfictions and digital literature." NRMG
Zuzana gave a lecture based on her PHD research about Digital Fiction. I have to admit that it was the first time i heard this term. After a her lecture and a small research Ive done i came up that now days most of us use means of Digital Fictions every day. Here is an example of some of the Digital Fictions types:

Technology and the nature of Internet as today provides higher levels of interactivity to the user and the audience. The user can simply navigate and select a text, to change the layout of a website, change a flash animation online and why not to image process online.
10 years before the role of the user was to view and listen, now things have been changed the user can view, listen, click, choose and also with the help of social media get a feedback of what he wrote or asked.
My question is can Digital Fiction kill the books? We had some examples of poems embedded in flash animations - movies. Let me just inform you that i hate poems and poetry. BUT when Zuzana show us some examples of poems embedded in flash animation - movies i found my self atracted to them, not only because of their funcy animations but for the message the poem was trying to send me with the usage of those funcy flash animations.

Internet censorship and free speech

In the museum of Science and Technology in Shanghai Obama said: "i think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes"
"they should be available to all people including ethnic and religious minorities whether they are in United States, China or any other nation."
Obama can help for the freedom of Internet in China as authorities in communist states have blocked access on different kind of websites, such as face book, twitter and YouTube.
Obama as we all know is an Internet fun and his political campaign was mainly based on Internet, so i believe he can help a lot in order a percentage of people to have freedom on the Internet.
