Women Tops - Which Style is Best For You? - TOPS

One of the easiest outfits to wear is a top and pants. Especially during the day, it's so easy to just throw on a pair of casual pants and a cute top. It's a winning combination, because it enables you to feel comfortable while still looking pulled together. Many times, this type of outfit can easily take you from day to night - add a few accessories, change your shoes and you're good to go.

But not all tops are equally flattering on all women and on all figures. Just as it's important to choose the right color for your skin tone, or the right cut of jeans, it's important to choose the top style that would look best on you. Let's take a look at a few types of women tops.

Sleeveless Tops

Sleeveless tops can be very flattering if you have nice, toned arms. The First Lady is a great example of a woman who has great arms and makes it a point to show them off - good for her! A sleeveless top can look cute even if your arms are not super-toned, but do try to stay away from this style if your arms are flabby.

Halter Tops

Again, since this is a sleeveless style, it would look best on women with toned arms. However, a halter top has the distinct advantage of drawing attention to your shoulders and emphasizing them, which is very flattering for most women - except for those who already have broad shoulders.

Strapless Tops

Strapless, or bandeau tops, are tricky! They're really cute but are only reserved for toned figures with a relatively small bust. A large bust simply would not look very good in a strapless top, partly because you need to wear a strapless bra with this style, and it offers less support.

V-Neck Tops

A V-neck is universally flattering and is appropriate for almost any occasion. A cute T-shirt with a modest V-neck is perfect for day, and a deep V-neck looks great at night, especially if the top is made of high quality fabrics with some sparkle added. Basically, you can't go wrong with a V-neck. The only caveat: don't go too deep!

Long Sleeve Tops

Long sleeves are obviously appropriate for wearing during the day in the winter, but many women actually prefer long sleeves, or at least three-quarter sleeves, anytime, including for night. The main advantage when wearing long sleeves is that you don't have to worry about flabby upper arms, veins, or any other issue that women may be worried about. Since many evening tops are sleeveless, it can sometimes be a real challenge to find a suitable long sleeve top for evening. A great option is to go with sheer sleeves - those look grownup and glamorous while still camouflaging what needs to be camouflaged.

When choosing a top, remember that the most important thing is to make sure you will be comfortable wearing that top. No one looks good when they are self conscious or when they keep tagging and pulling at their clothes. As always, the right fit is of an utmost importance.

Self Tanner Tops the List - TOPS

When it comes to tanning without the sun, the self tanner comes at the top of the list of alternatives. The sun can cause rashes on the skin and sometimes also cause diseases like cancer. Due to this reason, alternate tanning solutions were required.

People first came up with tanning beds. Tanning beds have powerful light source that emit ultraviolet rays to create the same effect as the sun and give the skin a good tan.
However, it was discovered that these ultra violet rays are highly dangerous and they are the primary reasons for all the diseases caused by the sun.
So tanning beds took a backseat as they had the same effect as the sun. The discovery of sunless tanning lotions and sprays was therefore a welcome addition to the tanning world.

A self tanner works in a quick and harmless way and gives the person using it a beautiful complexion.
The tan given by these tanning products are perfect and movie star like. The tanning lotions do not make the skin dry and brittle. It keeps the skin soft and moist and many of them come with aftercare moisturizers that can me spread on to the skin after the tanning process.

Many of them also come with built in sunscreen and protects the body from the sun. These products are relatively low cost and can be afforded by all.

This means that even the low income group can get a great tan without much effort. Some of these self tanning products are apply and go types and do not need 24 hour duration for the tan to set in.

This makes it perfect for the working class who do not have time to go for elaborate tanning sessions at a salon.

So it can be said that a self tanner is the right path to get a beautiful tan now-a-days when the ozone layer is depleting and the sun is becoming more and more harmful.

Convertible Tops Are Fashionable - TOPS

A convertible is known to be as a kind of automobile, which has a roof that is flexible in its movements. This flexible roof is referred to be as a convertible top.
Such flexible movements will allow the owner(s) of the car to retract and fold away the roof whenever they feel to do so.
Hence by this one can change the looks of a car from a normal vehicle to a luxurious open air vehicle and vice versa.

Today many car models are designed in this format (i.e.) in convertible or in a flexi form. It is one of the best luxuries that a person can go for.

You have a facility to cruise all along the highway by detaching away your flexi device and enjoying the weather and sightseeing that comes all through your way. If you are willing to add more enjoyment in your travel then replace your seat covers with premium quality of auto seat covers. This will not only help you to enjoy the travel but it will also offer you a comfortable travel.

In case if you are the proud possessor of a luxurious car likes Mercedes, Porsche, or Jaguar then it is essential for you to select convertible tops that are of high quality. By doing this it is of sure that your device will surely symbolize the spirit of your car. If you are going to buy this flexi device for the first time or you are going to replace your old device then it is wise to go with the best option available.

Cars with Convertible tops were in fashion from the year 1980's. From statesmen and sports person to celebrities and industrial persons this type of model was highly in fashionable among all of them. And now the same flexi device is playing its major role among the younger generation. There are many options available with one to choose for and go with that style which suits your pocket too.

Numbers of factors are involved while selecting and making a decision on any one of the convertible tops design. The first and foremost thing that you are required to make a note of it is to remember the year and make of your vehicle. Such details are termed out to be as very important because the requirements of one vehicle will always differ from the requirements of other model. Following details will help you in selecting out a top which goes well with your model.

Convertible tops are available in materials like canvas, vinyl, cotton, etc. Once you have got them installed you have are required to take care of them. To take care of them it means you are required to maintain this flexi device in a best possible manner. Maintenance can be done by cleaning the device every now then and a complete cleaning has to be done in few months of time. Keeping them free from dirt and dust will surely enhance their life which in turn will be with you for longer years.

TOPS-To Tops

Total Operations Processing System, or TOPS, is a computer system for managing the locomotives and rolling stock (railroad cars) owned by a rail system. It was originally developed by the Southern Pacific Railroad and was widely sold; it is best known in Britain for its use by British Rail and its successors.

[edit] Early development

The Southern Pacific Railroad was ahead of the pack in its embracing of technology. In the early 1960s it developed a computer system called “Total Operations Processing System”, or TOPS. The purpose was to take all the paperwork associated with a locomotive or railroad car - its maintenance history, its allocation to division and depot and duty, its status, its location, and much more - and keep it in computer form, constantly updated by terminals at every maintenance facility.^[1] On paper, this information was difficult to keep track of, difficult to keep up to date, and difficult to query, requiring many telephone calls. Computerizing this information enabled a railroad to keep better track of its assets, and to utilize them better.^[1]

In order to offset the development costs of the system, Southern Pacific sold it to other railroads. A number of American railroads took to the system, as did many others around the world.

Adoption by British Railways

In the mid to late 1960s British Railways (subsequently rebranded British Rail) was searching around for ways to increase efficiency, and came across the TOPS system in a 1968 presentation by an IBM US Transportation Industry Representative who shortly after formed IBM World Trade Corp's Transportation Industry Centre in Brussels (E. Wrathall). They purchased the system (along with source code, as was typical for such a large mainframe-based system in those days) and implemented it, assisted by Southern Pacific IT experts. At the time, the British Government operated a "Buy British" policy for the nationalised industries, and the purchase of an IBM 360 mainframe to operate TOPS had to be approved by the Cabinet of Prime Minister Edward Heath.

The adoption of the TOPS system made for some changes in the way the railway system in Britain worked. Hitherto, locomotives were numbered in three different series. Steam locomotives carried unadorned numbers up to five digits long. Diesel locomotives carried four-digit numbers prefixed with a letter 'D', and electric locomotives with a letter 'E'. Thus, up to three locomotives could carry the same number. TOPS could not handle this, and it also required similar locomotives to be numbered in a consecutive series in terms of classification, in order that they might be treated together as a group.

TOPS Numbering Under British Rail

Brush Type 2 locomotives became Class 31 under TOPS. This is the data panel from a Class 31/4; the 31/4 subclass being used for locomotives with Electric Train Heating.

Sequentiality was all that was required, but with the requirement to renumber, it was decided to adopt a logical system for classification, and the five- or six-digit TOPS number was divided into two parts. No class of locomotive or multiple unit numbered over 1000 examples, so the last three digits were used for the individual number between 001 and 999 in that class. The first two or three digits were used to denote the class of locomotive or multiple unit. The numbers were often written in two space separated groups, such as '47 401' to highlight that division, but the TOPS system actually stored and displayed them without the space: '47401'. Sub-classifications were indicated in the TOPS system with a slash and a subclass number, e.g. '47/4'. It was convention — though not enforced within the TOPS system — that subclass numbers were boundaries in the locomotive numbering system, such that class '47/4' started with number '47 401'. If there were more than 99 numbers in a subclass, the number series extended to the next value of the third digit; thus, since there were more than 200 locomotives in class '47/4', subclasses '47/5' and '47/6' did not exist, and the next valid subclass by convention was '47/7' starting with '47 701'. However, in some cases, the sequences do not match, e.g. 158/0 numbers start at 158 701.

Locomotives are assigned classes 01–98: diesel locomotives 01–70, DC electric locomotives 71–79, AC electric locomotives 80–96, departmental locos (those not in revenue-earning use) 97, and steam locomotives 98. One oddity was the inclusion of British Rail's shipping fleet in the system as Class 99. Diesel multiple units (DMUs) with mechanical or hydraulic transmission are classified 100–199, with electric transmission 200–299. Electric multiple units (EMUs) are given the subsequent classes; 300–399 are overhead AC units, while Southern Region DC third rail EMUs are 400–499, other DC EMUs 500–599. Classes 600–899 have not yet been used, but selected numbers in the 900 series have been used for departmental multiple units, mostly converted from former passenger units. More information can be found on British Rail locomotive and multiple unit numbering and classification.

Coaching stock and individual multiple unit cars are allocated five-digit numbers; since the early 1980s it has been forbidden for them to have the same numbers as locomotives, but before then duplication was possible because they carried a prefix letter, which was considered part of the number. More information can be found on British carriage and wagon numbering and classification.

Recent history

TOPS has grown very out of date in recent decades. It is a text-terminal, mainframe-driven system which is not very user-friendly, cryptic, hard to use and prone to operator error because of its cryptic displays and command set. In addition, it is written in its own programming language, TOPSTRAN (not strictly speaking a separate language but a set of IBM Assembler macros), and it is increasingly hard to find and train developers to maintain it. The division of British Rail and privatisation has also hurt TOPS, because it was never really designed for that; some Train Operating Companies do not keep information as up to date as they should.

Attempts have been made to 'skin' the system with a more user-friendly interface, called TOPS 2000; in addition, there are other parallel systems now, such as TRUST and Genius, but none has yet supplanted the TOPS system.

Sample output

This is a typical report that a TOPS clerk could generate. The train in question is a 25 wagon freight train travelling from Over & Wharton, near Winsford, to Reading West Junction.^[2]
