[REVIEW] World's largest FPSO - HYUNDAI HEAVY INDUSTRIES

  Technology becomes Masterpiece    

(photo from Hyundai Heavy Industries' TV advertisement)This 'GOLIAT FPSO' has a extraordinary shape which seems to come from the outer space planet. It is the facility to endure the extreme tides.

FPSO stands for Floating Production Storage and Offloading. It is special vessel which can refine a the crude oil pumped out from Offshore plant or drill ship, and store the refined products to transfer to shuttle tank or other place. It is essential facility for oil company to develop deep sea oilfield. 

In Feb 2010, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) became the supplier of the world's largest FPSO plant which costs $1.1 billion, from the Norwegian oil company ENI Norge AS. This FPSO went into construction from Nov 2011, and is expected to be installed at Goliat Field which is at 85 km Northwest from Hammerfest, Norway by the end of 2013.

This 'GOLIAT FPSO' requires cutting-edge technology for highly difficult construction procedures to built cylinder-shaped vessel to endure cold weather and strong tides of Arctic Sea.

The diameter of this Goliat FPSO is 112 meter, and the height is 75 meter. The vessel weight reaches to 52,000 tons. The FPSO can produce and refine 100,000 barrels of crude oil, and 4,000,000 m³ of Liquid Natural Gas, as well as store 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil, which is the half amount of daily consumption of Korea.

HHI has supplied FPSO to Brazil Petrobras in 1996, France Total, US Exxon Mobile and BP of UK. And every year, FPSOs has been built and delivered to the world. HHI has 60% of share in Super-size FPSO which can store more than 2,000,000 barrel of crude oil.

I expect more advanced technology would be invented form Hyundai Heavy Industries, and would help the civilization to advance, saving the world with the innovative ideas and efforts to reach to resources in deep inside of earth. (photo from Hyundai Heavy Industries)

[REVIEW] PROSPECS W HIGHLANDER WALKING SHOES

PROSPECS is the Korean sports brand, which means PROFESSIONAL SPECIFICATION, and I rarely considered to purchase a running shoes or walking shoes by this brand, except for a high utility sports sandal from PROSPECS which I purchased in 2006. Before I recognize the shoes is very important for those who walk for long time daily, I usually chose $10 to $20 shoes made in China. After I had severe wound on the toe of left foot during the trip in overseas, I learned the protection of body is much important than saving the cost. (photo from prospecs.com)

When I chose $30 shoes it was quite better, but as a walking shoes, I would like to recommend a high quality shoes with brand value, technology and a proper price which reflects the quality. 

Just as the product name W HIGHLANDER, this product has solid soles and very firm shoes body. The reason I came to have an intention to check the specification and the benefits in my spiritual mission is someone from Hyundai brand, recommended me for my benefit. (photo by James Kim)

When I searched for PROSPECS in ebay, this was only man's shoes from PROSPECS. I heard recently PROSPECS is concentrating on the custom shoes build business for professional Athletes and celebrities. 

I already have ASICS LIFEWALKER Walking shoes which I ordered around July 2012, but it was almost time to replace walking shoes with new one, even though I still have one more running shoes from ASICS.

$79.40 plus $7.28 shipping cost was not a little expense, but I found special hidden message in the number of these prices. With this hidden message, I prayed to God about whether I should order this product or not. I ordered this product in mid of October, but I cancelled for God gave a little wiered message at that time.

But around end of October, message of God came again about PROSPECS brand and I decided to place an order and chose this W HIGH LANDER SHOES for my next walking shoes.

God said the enemy will be defeated and forced down to the ground, serving my mission by offering tribute. And when I asked God which size of shoes I should order, God answered with number 29 which exactly means my SIZE 11 (290mm). 

The another reason I was made to order this product is that I like the brand of Hyundai Shopping Mall, and PROSPECS Advertizement model YUNA KIM - 2010 Olympic figure skater champion in ladies' singles. Because I like the brand history of Hyundai, and the character of YUNA KIM, I chose to place order. As well, God decisively granted me to order this shoes, when I asked him.

What I saw carefully after I receive the product, is High-abrasion Outsole, which is designed to enhance anti-skid outsole performance which is highly adaptable to changing weather conditions. (photo from prospecs.com and hyundaihmall.com)

And another technology I felt when I put on W HIGHLANDER, was the different feeling of shock absorber and return of force from the sole of heel. The absorber does not operate for little amount of pressure, but heavily reacts for high speed shock. 

Most appealing technology from PROSPECS brand is the protection of the ankle from spraining by supporting inner arch of foot with the supporting structure of shoes. The feature makes the foot stable in walking or running. The explanation from PROSPECS brand for this unique support feature is found in its product page. (photo from prospecs-usa.com)

"Running and walking have very different strides and thus different shoe requirements. When walking, the first impact is on the heel. PROSPECS builds walking shoes with a firm heel cup (unlike running shoes) to keep the foot aligned from that first impact. 

When walking, the foot is on the ground longer during every stride than in running. PROSPECS' patented MoveFrame TM Technology holds and supports the foot to keep it from pronating and supinating, keeping the foot and joints balanced and properly aligned. When walking, the impact on joints is merely the body's weight, while running has an impact of three times the body's weight. Running shoes are primarily focused on absorbing the shock of that impact. They are not designed for the need of motion control in the foot or a steady platform."

I expect further innovated shoes technology and design idea would become available soon from PROSPECS brand.

[REVIEW] HONEYWELL LINX TOUCH 5100 ALARM SECURITY SYSTEM

     HONEYWELL LINX TOUCH 5100          
        ALARM SECURITY SYSTEM                

(photo from honeywell.com)
This product targets the burglar security and home control. Honeywell has been known to me as the home control and automation.

Honeywell has been the important inventor in the field of automation, control and sensing technology, and one of important invention is T-86 "round" thermostat which is still in use.  (photo from honeywell.com)

The founder Mark Honeywell was born in Wabash in 1874. In 1905 he installed what was thought to be the first hot water heating system in America.

The notable history of Honeywell company is that Honeywell instruments took part in Moon landing project which helped U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin land on the moon. {photo from spacefoundation.org)

When I see the history of Honeywell, it is quite interesting events and history of innovation and inventions. 

The reason I purchased this system is the necessity for higher wireless encryption technology and security protection procedures. With full experience for security system, I hope to believe Honeywell would provide the most updated solution to keep the security secure.

This LINX 5100 system supports touch screen and monitoring with Android smart phones and iPhones.  There are a lot of specification to reseach for the functions provided by this system. This product would be the result of long history of research and field feedback on home control and security protection.

I would like to see and find out the detailed design minds as I operate this system soon.

God told me when I asked him whether I need this product for installation in my place.
And God answered me that by bringing Honeywell's system, the place where the offering is provided to God is prepared. And God said it is to prepare the place where the ark came to rest.

I hope to see the temple and secure rest place is built with the Honeywell's technology which advances the welfare and innovation of mankind.

[REVIEW] GIANDEL WIDE SEAT EXECUTIVE CHAIR - QO8902

         GIANDEL                
EXECUTIVE CHAIR           
Selection of chair is very important for the people who stay in the chair more than 8 hours a day. Wrong selection of chair causes the distortion of backbone and malshaping of body bones. Especially for the young student and kids, wrong habit of seating can bring the diseases in backbone discs and even worsen the concentration to the study. (photo from ebay.com)

For the professionals who work with computers, selection of chair changes the efficiency and speed of works and it gives influences to the whole company's profits and performance.

Most seriously affected part by wrong chair is the end of backbone which is contacted with the surface of chair. If this part suffers from stress, pressure and friction, the user cannot seat in the chair for a long time, losing the concentration for the job.

GIANDEL WIDE SEAT EXECUTIVE CHAIR is not only for the executives or presidents of the companies. But also it helps people in the work place to have healthy work environment, and to enhance the satisfaction to the job.

The special reason why I chose this model is because of the unique function which enables to change the angle of back plate of chair. With a left lever, the user can change or fix back plate angle, and even this function enables the user to sleep or take a rest in the chair. And with right lever, user can change the height of seat.

It has more value than its price when the user wants to change the mood of seating according to the respective state of body stress and to the need of concentration by changing the back plate angle. (Photo by James Kim)

There are many low-chair from $50, but my previous cheap chair had problems in endurance and quality, such as the chair lost balance. Also the low-cost chair made the body exhausted in a short time, causing pains in the buttocks. So for the chair, I try to select the quality ones , comparing various chairs, regardless of the price, because if the chair harms you, you throw away that money.

This product seems to the only and best-priced one which is available from Australia in ebay.com. And I would like to recommend this chair for serious consumers for quality seating experience. One year warranty and free shipping cost to Australia at $154.99.

This product is available from ebay.com from following link.

[REVIEW] ASIC GEL KINSEI 5

   ASICS               

   GEL KINSEI 5   

When I was young, I chose low-cost running shoes because I did not have much money. And I could not get enough information about what kind of differences does the major sport shoe vendor provides. 

(ASICS GEL KINSEI 5 : photo from ASICSAMERICA.COM)

As the internet shopping started to share the product features and characteristics from around 2002, I came to get more information about vendor and its appealing points.

Until I started regular running in gyms and inside of my room gym later, I could not have chance to think about what makes difference to reduce pains and stress in body when I run for 30 minutes or 40 minutes in running machines. Especially I experienced quite mustle pain on leg and back when I just started running. Also great pain and stress were caused in my toe and on the sole of foot.

Because someone says this one is better and the other one says that one is better in the blog and product review, the only way to know which vendor and running shoes is best for my running was to purchase the products and compare the feeling and characteristics.

I tried famous brands and I found ASICS has human-friendly product ideas which are near to my needs to reduce pains and maximize the physical capability in running.

I used GT series shoes and it was first model which I experienced ASICS for the first time, and later I purchased ASIC GEL KAYANO 17 limited version specially for Boston marathon events in around 2011. Then next version was this ASIC GEL KINSEI 4.

(GT-1000 : Photo from asics.co.jp) GT series gave me good running feels and it was a kind of best experience in my exercising. KAYANO 17 gave more advanced back heel shock absorbsion. GEL KENSEI 4 has firm feeling in standing and running, but it made feel more stability when running.

I need to run in the harsh condition to differenciate the features of each models in more points, but I believe ASICS is inventing new idea to extend the physical capability, preserving the wasted power and protecting the mustles. And I am interested in seeing the future technology to make people to enjoy running and spend more time in sports activity.

(ASIC GEL KAYANO 20 : Photo from asics.co.jp)

The ASICS product design is the one which I get inspirations for running.

A S I C S  =  

 Anima Sana In Corpore Sano = “A sound mind in a sound body.”

A sound spirit dwells in a sound body.

This slogan make us to remind various implications which we should keep in mind in our life.

[REVIEW] CARIBEE CENTURION 110LT TROLLEY WHEELED BAG LUGGAGE

   CARIBEE CENTURION            
   110LT TROLLEY WHEELED   
   BAG LUGGAGE                            

I purchased this trolley bag to divide my luggage from my previous trolley bag. I used rail network with 3 months Ausrail pass and the rail regulation for baggage weight is 20kg, a little lower than international flight regulation. 

I like CARIBEE brand because I can find some creative and practical design and helpful ideas in the bag design. The first appealing point for CARIBEE CENTURION 110LT TROLLEY was quite unique design idea for balancing color and effective luggage handle position, logo array, pocket shape and accessibility. 
The 2 handle positions on the top face is creative and useful to move the luggage from or to inside of taxi or luggage carriage of train. 
(photo from caribee.com)

The second point was the location and shape of NAME TAG pocket for it is quite extraordinary idea with cute name tag cover and CARIBEE.COM logo which can help to find the owner of bag by purchase tracking in case the bag is lost..(photo by James Kim)

Third point is the rubber-coated metal frames on the bottom side of the bag. 2 metal poles make the shape of bag firm and make least contact between the bottom of bag and the surface of ground, which helps to keep the bag bottom clean from dirt and to clean the bag more easily. 

(photo from campingcentral.com)
I have another hand-carry bag from CARIBEE and the brand's some of unique design idea has been fitting most well for my life style and purpose of use until now. 

One another function I hope to see in the future product is the ZIPPER system which enables the user to extend the size of bag, because sometimes, the volume can be more than the weight.

I hope to see more impressive products with creative and practical ideas in the near future from CARRIBEE.

This product can be purchased from CAMPING CENTRAL.

[REVIEW] COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK

MOST FREQUENTLY USED 
                   COLES PRODUCTS - 1

I reminded the days of past 8 months to find out the most influential products in my life in Australia, and COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK was a quite low cost but importantly used product. I have used this hanger for 24 hours, every day to hang cloths and to dry the washed cloths. (photo from coles.com.au)

I bring a quite amount of my own hangers to my hotel room not only for sanitation purposes when I travel, but because usually not enough amount of hangers are provided in the room for hanging and drying.

Before I use COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK, I used cheap white iron wire hangers which the laundry shop freely gives to the customer. With this COLES plastic hanger, I could save a lot of space to store cloths and keep the cloths tidy and clean.

COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK has high endurance and rust-free cleanness. In its design, it is quite beautiful and makes to feel simple practicality, compared with other traditional ones. I purchased 2 sets of this product by COLES SHOP ONLINE and when I visited COLES Belbay, and it has been one of most helpful items in arranging my daily life.


This product can be purchased from COLES website from here.
