The FIFA Confederations Cup is one of the most competitive tournaments among national soccer teams. It features champions of each of the six FIFA confederations – CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football), UEFA (Union of European Football Associations), CAF (African Football Confederation), CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation), AFC (Asian Football Confederation) and OFC (Oceania Football Confederation), and both the upcoming host country and past winner of the FIFA World Cup.

Originally organized by and held in Saudi Arabia, and known as the King Fahd Cup, the tournament was founded in 1992. FIFA took control of the event in 1997, renaming it the FIFA Confederations Cup and hosting the tournament every two years. Now contested every four years (since 2005), the Confederations Cup is played one-year prior to the FIFA World Cup.

Milan have gained more than €65 million from Kaka’s transfer to Real Madrid and Gourcuff’s transfer to Bordeaux, and president Silvio Berlusconi promised a few days ago that this sum would go towards signing new, important players.

According to gsvs.it, the main transfer target is Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, who is valued at around €20m and rated as a very likely arrival.

Marco Borriello’s continual struggles with injury could accelerate the negotiations for the Bosnian player, who finished first in the Bundesliga top-scorer list this past season.

In midfield, the Rossoneri are looking at the possibility of signing 24-year-old Hernanes of Sao Paulo, but in this case a lot will depend on Andrea Pirlo’s situation.

Despite Berlusconi stating that Milan are fine in defense, Roma defender Philippe Mexes is still a possible target for the club. His alternative could be Alex Silva of Hamburg, whom coach Leonardo likes a lot.

In the end, Milan are set to rejuvenate the squad without spending too much, as their intention is to retain most of the money earned from the Kaka sale.

New Milan’s Player:

• Thiago Silva (Defender, Fluminense)
• Mattioni (Defender, Gremio)

Menjalani aktivitas sehari-hari membuat kamu melupakan segala hal yang dibutuhkan oleh tubuh. Akhirnya, tubuh yang tak dapat perhatian dari pemiliknya akan jatuh sakit sewaktu-waktu. Itu sebabnya banyak orang yang mengabaikan hal-hal penting bagi kesehatan. Tapi jangan kwatir, kamu dapat mengikuti cara berikut.

Sarapan. Awali aktifitas kamu dengan menu sarapan yang penuh gizi. Walaupun kamu terburu-buru perut yang kosong selama tidur malam, harus diisi dengan sesuatu, misalnya roti, sereal, atau bubur kacang ijo. Bergerak. Berolahraga 30-40 menit perhari. Sebelum berangkat ke kantor, kamu bisa lakukan hal ini seperti bersepeda, berjalan, lari, dsb. Pilih makanan penambah (snack) yang kaya akan gizi. Makanan yang berbeda dari menu utama yang berbentuk makanan ringan seperti kripik kentang, dll.

Lengkapi dengan makanan penyeimbang. Setiap tubuh manusia membutuhkan asupan gizi yang cukup. Protein, karbohidrat, harus tersedia dalam menu makan kamu. Juga mineral, nutrisi dan vitamin A dan C sangat baik untuk menstabilkan fungsi organ yang mulai rusak akibat rutinitas.

Tak lupa buah-buahan menjadi pilihan terbaik setelah semuanya terpenuhi. Dan yang harus paling berat dilakukan adalah menjaga performa kesehatan agar tetap prima. Ya, katakan anti terhadap rokok. Jauhkan diri kamu dari asap rokok yang sangat merugikan kesehatan.

Hidup sehat adalah dambaan setiap orang namun banyak orang yang tidak sadar bahwa kesehatan hanya didapat dari perjuangan yang terus-menerus. HIdup sehat harus menjadi prioritas dalam kehidupan kamu dan tetap berpikir positif.

Each of us sometimes questions why we devote so much time, energy and expertise to our current job. We wonder whether it’s time for a change and we begin to read employment ads or dream of starting our own business. Before deciding to submit your resignation, examine if your job is fulfilling your needs.

It’s not always about money

Job satisfaction is rarely measured by the size of the paycheck; although above average remuneration can make less than stellar working conditions a little more bearable. Highway construction site flag men and swampers on garbage trucks perform important duties that some of us would not want to do for more than a summer job. They find their jobs fulfilling and rewarding because they recognize that they play important roles in society.

In an office environment, opportunities for advancement and recognition of each individual’s contributions and talents are big influences on whether a job is fulfilling. The less stress there is, the better, but most men will accept a certain amount of pressure if they feel recognized and respected.

How well an employee relates to the company’s leadership style and corporate values are also key factors in job satisfaction. Fair rewards in terms of salary and benefits, good working conditions and appropriate employee empowerment are all strong motivators that promote job satisfaction.

Here are some questions to ask to measure if your job fulfills you:

Do you enjoy going to work?

When it’s a real struggle getting up every day, it could be an indicator that you’re stressed, burnt out or unfulfilled. If you’re dragging yourself out of bed in the morning and it’s not because you stayed up too late or partied too hard, your body and brain may be trying to tell you something. Good working conditions, the camaraderie of a team environment and duties you enjoy will make it more fun to go to work. Feeling inspired and energized by your boss and the company’s leadership is even better.

Are your expectations reasonable?

You cannot have executive privileges in an entry-level position. Jumping ship because you don’t have as much time off as you’d like would be irresponsible and immature. Even though you have education, enthusiasm and energy on your side, you still need to work your way up the corporate ladder by earning respect and privileges, and proving yourself.
Examine your job and your attitude objectively before deciding to pull the pin because you don’t feel fulfilled. Stop being negative. And quit hanging around the copier with the whiners or you’ll get sucked into their spiral of negativity.

Is your work stimulating?

Everyone needs challenges and rewards in their day-to-day work. If you don’t feel you’re making a difference, perhaps you could expand your role by asking for more responsibilities. Smart bosses encourage their staff to try new tasks and learn new skills, even if they might make a mistake. Look at the things you enjoy about your work and offer to take on additional duties to increase your sense of purpose.

Do you feel respected and valued?

When a company’s corporate culture incorporates management listening to their staff and celebrating successes together, people will find their jobs more fulfilling. New ideas and well thought out, concrete suggestions to improve productivity, increase sales and reduce customer complaints ought to be encouraged. Workers at every level need to feel that their efforts are important. Whether you are dealing with difficult customers or working on design plans for the new website, if you feel that your contribution to the corporation’s success is important, you’ll feel personally successful and fulfilled. Too much unpaid overtime with no thanks and no end in sight is discouraging.

Is your integrity intact?

Are you proud of where you work and what you do? When your values align with the company’s corporate values and vision, you’re bound to feel better about your job. Having to be dishonest with your customers because sales quotas are more important than service and integrity is a bad sign. If you would not be comfortable describing a typical workday to your family and friends, maybe you’re not in the right job. No matter how big your paycheck is, it’s essential to retain your self-esteem and self-respect.

Does your job fit in with your 5-year plan?

Evaluate your long-term goals and look for the growth potential in your current job. Seek out learning opportunities, from company-sponsored courses and seminars to job shadowing to working on additional projects. Find a mentor in a more senior manager whose style and skills you admire.

Even if some aspects of your job are boring, concentrate on creating a network of allies that will eventually help you as you climb the corporate ladder. When you look at the big picture and work toward your career goals, you might see how your present position is fulfilling a need.

Even right now my job desc as field operation engineer but I still have dreaming to work as core network engineer again. After 5 years work as core network engineer so many experience that i got, especially got overseas training in Suwon, South Korea.  So.. here it is I want to  post about core network.

UMTS Core Network Planning

Planning the UMTS core network consist of GSN (GPRS Service Node) system design, MSC and registers dimensioning, OMC dimensioning, Core network interface dimensioning.

The Core Network has several interfaces, which need to be configured and dimensioned. This dimensioning is out of the scope of this page, but these are the interfaces that need to be configured:

• Gn: Interface between SGSN and GGSN
• Gi: Interface between GGSN and external packet data network

Other interfaces are between MSCs, to PSTN, HLR, AUC, EIR, SMS, Billing Centre, Voice Mail, OMC, WAP & Multi Media Servers and other network elements.

The main inputs to dimensioning of GSN system are similar to what is required in air interface design. Hardware configuration is vendor specific, but here is a general list of things that need to be considered when configuring GSN System:

• Number of Subscribers
• Number of PDP Contexts
• Service Activation Rate
• Peak Traffic amount and overheads (bits/s or packets/s)
• Number of required links
• Number of RNC in served area

The Core Network hardware configuration is also vendor specific. Network vendors have very extensive documentation how to design all aspects of core network starting from the room environmental requirements up to the post integration system quality audit. Here is a general list of things that need to be considered when dimensioning MSCs:

• Number of Subscribers
• Average call lengths
• Call mix
• Total CS traffic (Erlangs)
• System features
• Interconnection to other equipment
• MSC software features
• Required redundancies (e.g. 2N, N+1)
• Total traffic and signaling loads
• Iu-cs and other interface dimensioning
• Type of transmission interfaces
• Expansion possibilities
• MSC capacity and configuration options
• Most cost effective deployment method
• Number of RNC in served area

All other network equipment will be designed in a similar way. Once the main components are designed, the rest is easy!

Other core network plans:

• Numbering plan
• Traffic and interconnectivity routing plan
• Signalling network plan
• Synchronisation plan
• Expansion plan
• Logical and physical node dimentioning
• PS and CS network plan
• Network security plan
• Redundancy and QoS plan
