Windows Reloaded / Operating System Re-installation
No matter which version of Windows you run, at times your PC will start to become unstable – especially if you often install and uninstall software or change hardware. System lockups or the dreaded Blue Screen of Death can spoil your day.
Diagnosing specific problems can be difficult, even with the help of Windows' built-in diagnostics or popular commercial utilities. It's important to remember, however, that accumulated installed software, not hardware, is the most common cause of Windows headaches.
If thorny Windows problems have you stumped, consider "refreshing" Windows. The more you use your PC, the greater the chance that some key Windows files have become corrupt. A fresh install is always the last option, most installations can be repaired.
A fresh installation of windows maybe just what you need..!
Installing a fresh Windows operating system on your laptop will revive your laptop PC performance to like new. We can professionally recover and/or reinstall your Operating System (OS) that has crashed, become severely infected, hijacked, unstable, or damaged.
Our Windows Reloaded Service is not a mere "system restore" procedure, but rather a fresh and clean re-installation of your licensed Microsoft Windows operating system. This includes wiping the hard drive, OS installation, setup, configuration, and installing supporting software.
Reasons Why Windows may need to be reinstalled:
|Perhaps the registry has been corrupted
|The machine is experiencing performance issues
|The system is to badly infected / More cost effective to re-install
|Deletion or corruption of system files (not the registry)
A Technician will:
Total work time: 2 – 4 Hours depending on what data we have to transfer back on to the new install such as photos, music and documents and also the software you require installing such as Antivirus, Office, and any other utilities needed.
*Installation code / product key sticker required for a full format and clean fresh installation, this is a sticker with the original activation code displayed that is stuck on to the laptop / desktop computer.

Craving Chinese food has led me to come up with this healthful alternative to take-out chow mien. This recipe takes a bit of time—probably 45 minutes—but it makes LOTS, great reheated for lunches....
Hope you try it out for yourself.
Karina's Chicken Chow Mein & Chop Suey ------ makes approx 5 ½ Cups
255 gr Oriental Egg Noodles (Equivalent to 3 pkgs of Mr. Noodles)
1 Chicken Breast (Optional)
2 Med Carrots
1 Celery Stalk
1 Onion
1 Red Bell Pepper
3 Cups Bean Sprouts (1 small package)
1 small head of Broccoli
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ C Water
2 TB Cornstarch
2 TB Soy Sauce
2 TB Fish Sauce or 2 TB Oyster Sauce, or 1 TB of each
1 TB Chicken OXO
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
- Prepare vegetables (keep each separate from each other); slice carrots and celery into small medallions, fine chop onion, chop bell pepper, and chop broccoli into small pieces. I like to do this earlier in the afternoon and keep the prepared vegetables in the fridge—one less thing to worry about when I'm ready to COOK)
- Heat wok with a bit of oil and place chicken breast in to cook. Once partially cooked, remove chicken and cut up into small pieces and continue cooking until cooked through. Remove chicken pieces from wok. (I use frozen chicken breast, which is why I cook it this way. If you have thawed your chicken breast beforehand, you could cut it up right away and cook it like that.)
- Boil noodles in a pot according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them off, and blanche them in ice water to completely cool and stop cooking process.
- Add a bit more oil to the hot wok and begin frying cooled egg noodles. Cook them until slightly golden (about 5 minutes). Remove from wok.
- Begin stir frying carrots and celery. Once partially cooked, add onion and bell pepper, and finally broccoli. Stir fry until barely tender—still slightly crunchy.
Combine in a small bowl:
½ C Water
2 TB Cornstarch
2 TB Soy Sauce
2 TB Fish Sauce or 2 TB Oyster Sauce, or 1 TB of each
1 TB Chicken OXO
- Add bean sprouts to the vegetables in the wok and heat through.
- Make a well in the center of the wok, and pour half of the sauce into the wok, stirring constantly as the sauce will thicken rapidly.
- Remove half of the vegetable stir fry and add the noodles and chicken back into the wok.
- Make another well in the center of the noodles, and pour remaining sauce in, doing the same as before to thicken sauce.
- Return reserved vegetable stir fry into the wok.

Thank you for the welcome, Cori! You can thank a proactive gentleman at the Eastern APA for my membership. I forget his name, but he was promoting the group, and I've had joining on my to-do list ever since.
Looking forward to collaborating,
High School Ethics Bowl Guy
Hi Cori,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your post.
I joined the MacArthur Foundation in 1995. I had wanted to work for this organization for many years. I wanted the think-tank environment, and I wanted the benefits, which included 100% tuition reimbursement for study of any kind. Alas, this benefit has since been scaled back somewhat.
I entered the Mental Health program as an executive secretary and studied philosophy at Loyola University Chicago on the side. ( I already had a master's degree from my former days in a Jesuit divinity school.) I received my MA in philosophy in 2007. My work load at MacArthur has prevented me from pursuing my PhD. I am now program administrator for the Justice Reform program in US Programs.
Foundations are good places for public philosophers, but they are not easy to get into. And even if you are on the inside, as I am, it can be difficult to impossible to become a program officer. It is as a program officer in a foundation that a philosopher could have some impact. It is at this level that the think-tanking happens.
If you are interested in getting involved with foundations, I would recommend looking into Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy, a young affinity group that is having its national conference April 4-6 in Chicago. www.epip.org Already having a job in philanthropy is not a requirement.
I look forward to meeting you in Atlanta.
Thank you for the nice welcome. Glad to have found this organization.
Thanks for the note, Cori. Looking forward to engaging with others on the site!
Hey Cori!
Great to hear from you and thanks for your friend request. There aren't all that many of us interested in exploring the public side of philosophy so I am grateful to meet you (if only virtually). We'll have to talk about possible ways of collaborating.

Perth Wins Game Two, Tying Series
Perth Heat 9, Adelaide Bite 2
The Perth Heat came roaring back to win the second game of the Australian Baseball League's championship series on Saturday (early hours for US time zones), forcing a winner-take-all final game on Sunday. Bite starter Brandon Maurer had the Heat under his thumb for the first four innings. He struck out the side in the 1st, and went on to allow only two base runners over the next three innings -- a batter reached on an error in the 2nd and a single in the 4th. But Perth came out swinging in the top of the 5th, starting with a lead-off homer. A walk and two singles loaded the bases, then after a line out to short, two singles drove in three runs. Maurer got a strikeout, but then gave up a walk to load the bases, and he was relieved by Reed Brown. The first batter Brown faced, Heat CF Ronnie Welty, smashed a grand slam over the right field wall to give Perth an 8-run inning. The Heat added an extra run in the 8th on a double, a wild pitch, and a single.
The Bite scratched out their first run in the 3rd inning, on a double by 1B Ben Wigmore, a sacrifice bunt, and an RBI ground out. 3B Stefan Welch led off the 8th inning with another double. Like the Heat in the top of the inning, a wild pitch moved the runner to third base, and an RBI ground out drove in the run. LF Quincy Latimore beat out a grounder to second for a single to open the 4th inning, but he was left on base.
Two Hits For Latimore In Championship Opener
The Bite opened the Australian League's championship series with a win over the Perth Heat on Friday. Perth began the scoring with a run in the bottom of the 1st, on a single and an RBI double from the first two batters in their lineup. The Bite tied the score in the top of the 3rd. After a pair of lead-off singles by 1B Ben Wigmore and 2B Josh Cakebread, a sacrifice bunt moved both runners into scoring position. 3B Stefan Welch drove in the tying run with a ground out to first base. Adelaide took the lead in the top of the 5th, with more firepower from Welch. Wigmore and Cakebread again opened the inning with a pair of singles, and again a sacrifice bunt moved them into scoring position. Welch lined a double in to right field, scoring both Wigmore and Cakebread. Another single drove in Welch, and LF Quincy Latimore also singled, moving another runner into scoring position. A double play ended the rally. The Heat rallied in the bottom of the 6th, with three singles, a walk, and an RBI ground out producing 2 runs, but that still left them one run behind the Bite. The Bite had only one runner reach base over the last three innings of the game, but they held off rallies by the Heat in each of the last two innings. In the 8th, a two-out double and a single had the Perth pinch-runner rounding third and heading for the plate, but a perfect throw from CF James McOwen let C Brandon Bantz tag the runner out at the plate to end the inning. Another two-out double and a hit batter put two runners on base for the Heat in the bottom of the 9th. Adelaide reliever Adrian Burnside came in to make the final out with a grounder to third base, ending the game. Latimore also singled in the 4th inning, but was left on base.

- Are you experiencing any number of troubling life changes such as a breakup with a boyfriend or fiancé, divorce, job loss or change, moving into a new environment, or stress with being a mom?
- Do these changes feel overwhelming?
- Or are you feeling stuck in your current life situation and wish you could get motivated to change it?
- Are you concerned about when you do make changes how they will impact your relationships, finances, not to mention your immediate and longer term plans?
- Have you been feeling like you are not heard, or just plain misunderstood, alone, or angry with those closest to you who are not supportive of you?
- Do you find yourself being too hard on yourself or worry that you're making a lot of "bad" choices?
- Have you experienced unexplained sadness, or hopeless feelings, restlessness, weight loss or gain, aches and pains or ups and downs with your energy?
- Do you worry that these experiences are abnormal or that you are "weird"?
- Or do you just not like yourself going through all these changes?
In all of these changes, you are not alone. We have found over the years of counseling women that issues related to expected or unexpected change have a varying degree of impact on each woman individually and that each one deserves to be heard, understood and validated. When you discover that you have an experienced female counselor on your side, these changes not only become more manageable but are able to be worked through many times with positive and successful results.
Consider times during your life when reproduction and hormones may throw you into a blender of emotions. It's not always easy being woman! We have discovered that during these ever changing and sometimes uncertain times in our lives we may want to get some support in areas such as:
When we have difficulty trying to get pregnant, and often battle with feelings of sadness, anger, jealousy, loneliness, hopelessness, fear and anxiety.
When we experience a loss of a pregnancy whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or even after an abortion, and we often find it very hard to heal from the loss especially with overwhelming feelings of fear, guilt, shame, sadness, and worry. We also may find ourselves far apart and feel distant from those we care about (which includes those who are trying somehow to care for us but may not know how) such as a spouse, partner or other family members.
When after childbirth we are not at all how we had hoped we would be. We may feel alone at times and begin to experience a
great deal of feeling sad (or depressed), anxious, worry, and snap at others. Our doctor or healthcare provider may have told us about postpartum depression as something to be aware of after giving birth. Especially with many new mothers it can be very difficult to manage as feelings of confusion, sadness, and just plain feeling overwhelmed with the gigantic role of motherhood! With this comes a tremendous amount of responsibility as you start or continue building a family, determining whether to juggle a career or job on top of your current relationship with your spouse or partner.
When we go into menopause we find ourselves passed the thought of having more children but our hormones have kicked in causing those hot and cold flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, and lack of libido not to mention mood swings which may cause conflict with our spouse/partner and put our family on edge. We have found that although many of these issues that women experience are troublesome, finding another woman to walk through it is not only very helpful but increases her strength, courage and confidence.
We are here to provide counseling and support for women's issues such as:
- Life changes and challenges
- Pregnancy
- Postpartum depression
- Motherhood
- Miscarriage
- Infertility
- Abortion recovery
- Grief / loss
- Menopause
- Relationships
With a wide variety of counseling and personal experiences, we have helped women through their life changes in order to help them regain a sense of self-worth and value. We are here for you — you are NOT alone!
Some Concerns Women Have About Getting Help…
I am so overwhelmed right now with everything going on I just don't have the time for counseling
This is a common and legitimate concern given that many women today are juggling a multi-tasked life. We have recognized that for many of our female clients those who take the time now to get the help and support they need will in the long (and short) run find themselves improving overall in their lives and enjoying life more fully. Addressing the unique experiences you face will provide you with the support you need to get through these times and help you move on with your life.
Going to a counselor is a sign of weakness
We hear this concern from many female clients as they are often times the responsible one in their family or relationships and hold themselves to high and often times unrealistic expectations. We have discovered that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and when clients get started they may need a few sessions to discuss a specific issue and get back on track or may need a little more time for more complex and delicate issues.
I can't really afford counseling right now
At first, this is a very common if not the most common worry that we hear. Many women look at the cost of counseling and dismiss it right away. We have found that when women consider the cost of not going vs. going they weigh out potential, immediate and long-term results and find a way to make counseling happen. Some will consider what they spend on themselves to help them feel better and ask, "How is this working for me?" Or "Can I get by without this for now?" Or "Does this really make me feel better?" We have also found that clients end up saying something like, "I owe it to myself (to go to counseling where I can get help to feel better from the inside out)".
We invite you to ask us any questions you may have…don't hesitate to let us know here at Pathways either by phone 520-292-9750 or email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call a specific counselor directly (see their webpage for more details). Feel free to check out our blog and other articles here on our website. Thanks.

Terry McAuliffe's rainmaker days
Before Terry McAuliffe was an aspiring politician, he was an ambitious K Street rainmaker.
McAuliffe was a founder — and between 1985 and 1994, a partner and co-owner — of McAuliffe, Kelly & Raffaelli, a law firm and lobbying shop based in downtown Washington. And in a town based on personal relationships and contacts, it's no surprise the man who became a top fundraiser for Bill Clinton and headed the Democratic National Committee had the place wired; by 1991, the firm listed about 60 clients on federal lobbying records.
Story Continued Below
But a snapshot of those previously unreported records from the early 1990s — which are kept on microfilm at the National Archives and were reviewed by POLITICO — shows that the firm's client roster included several that might surprise liberals backing the Democratic candidate for governor: tobacco giant Philip Morris, the lead industry, waste dumping interests, and a company that was fighting to exclude women from certain jobs.
( PHOTOS: Terry McAuliffe's career)
The firm also represented a gambling association and several foreign governments, some of whom were previously reported due to federal foreign lobbying disclosures.
McAuliffe has long denied doing the firm's actual lobbying — and records and interviews with former colleagues back up his claims. His name is absent as a registered lobbyist in the firm's lobbying disclosures, with the sole exception of a registration for the National Association of Insurance Commissioners that became inactive by the early 1990s.
But according to former partners, McAuliffe was in charge of business development for the firm: responsible for finding new leads on potential clients and bringing in new business — all while sharing the profits.
"He was the glue that held the place together," former partner Richard Spees, now the chair of the lobbying practice at Akerman, told POLITICO.
Spees, a registered Republican who says he nevertheless supports McAuliffe for governor, recalled the firm as an ambitious but scrappy operation that competed for clients and space against the gigantic firms like Patton Boggs and Cassidy & Associates.
"He was fun to be around, he was dynamic," Spees said. "He kept us all together and loose."
McAuliffe's campaign did not dispute any of the records. McAuliffe has used his business experience as a central part of his campaign against Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, and a campaign spokesman accused Cuccinelli of trying to turn the tables.
The campaign noted that Cuccinelli ran a law firm in Virginia prior to becoming attorney general that took civil litigation, intellectual property, civil rights, criminal defense litigation, personal injury and other cases.
"Ken Cuccinelli attacking Terry McAuliffe on 20-year old records makes it clear that he believes he should be held accountable for everything any of his law firm's clients ever did whether he worked on the case or not," said spokesman Josh Schwerin.
The Cuccinelli campaign declined to comment on the McAuliffe campaign's accusations or his company's lobbying activities.
The records are a window into the lobbying activities of a midsize K Street lobbying firm as issues like taxes, environmental regulation, health care, transportation and other issues came before Congress and the executive branch.
Most of the clients of the firm include the usual suspects that make up the bread and butter of a lobbying firm's roster, such as defense, real estate, telecommunications and insurance companies. For instance, McAuliffe, Kelly & Raffaelli represented several public transit utilities, a tuna fishing coalition, the National Restaurant Association, a greyhound racing group, a human resources trade association and an affordable housing coalition.
In the banking sector, the company took on Lloyds, Tudor Investment Corporation, Investment Management Services and others.
But the firm had other, more controversial entities on its client roster. It represented tobacco giant Philip Morris Companies on tax issues in the early 1990s, with the primary lobbyist on the account listed as partner John D. Raffaelli.

Cross Hypervisor DR
Cross hypervisor disaster recovery provides an ability to migrate the VMs from one hypervisor to another (ESXi to AHV or AHV to ESXi) by using the protection domains. To perform these operations, you need to install and configure NGT on all the VMs.
- This can only be done on Nutanix Hardware (ESX and AHV)
- If you have static IP addresses configured, you need to manually change the IP address after recovering the VMs
- Only VMs with flat files are supported
- Only IDE and SCSI disks are supported
- VMs running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) operating system are not supported
- Ensure that both the sites are running AOS 4.6 or later
- Virtual machines with volume groups or shared virtual disks are not supported
Recover/Convert the machine on the remote site.
See Protection Domain setup in a later blog post.
- Install and configure NGT on all VMs that will be migrated
- Create a protection domain and protect the VMs that you want to migrate
- Configure the remote site
- Migrate or take the snapshot of the protection domain and replicate it to the remote site
- Recover the VMs to the remote site
- If you start the Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 VMs after migrating, a prompt that asks for restart is displayed. You need to restart the VMs to install all the required drivers
- Do not uninstall Nutanix VM mobility drivers on the VMs post migration
You should now have VM converted from ESX to AHV.

With several businesses venturing to have their products showcased online, it is essential that your business's website design stands out from the rest. Because ultimately, having a good and seamless website design could woo traffic to your site and eventually increase sales. More information in our Best Website Design:2017 tips.
Nowadays, about 90% of customers make their purchasing decisions online by comparing the details on various websites. This could explain why every small to medium sized business should have a good website design that can make their companies stand out and give them a profitable e-commerce business. A quality website design gives your website that visual appeal which customers are looking for, which is what creates a good first impression. Such a design may be simple and subtle, or it may be startling and artistic depending on the type of your business or your preferences. To make such informed choices, it is essential to contact our professional web designers.
Most of the time, we equate cheap website designs to non-established businesses or those that work on insufficient budgets. This notion makes most customers consider cheaply designed websites as those offering poor services. You do not wish to have a cheap website design which often means an inferior website. You are just seeking a balance between spending just the right amount on the web design and having your website look and feel great and have all the latest website development methodologies implemented. Since you probably do not wish to fall a victim of being considered a poor service provider, you might have sought out various web developers who could give your site a professional look.
Most small to medium-sized enterprises as well as startups that are not tech-savvy often consider web development to be a costly and challenging task. This perception is because most web designers do overcharge clients who do not have the adequate know-how on web development. This treatment of clients is unfair.
At CODEDB, we appreciate the efforts made by our clients in their bid to have well-developed websites. We do understand that most small and medium-sized enterprises do not have thousands of dollars to spend on web development. Thus, we offer you adequate pricing plans that are economical to get your business up and running. We take pride in having empowered several Australian businesses by offering the businesses affordable and quality websites which look highly professional.
For many startup and small-sized businesses, an ideal website could simple be like an online magazine that displays the main components of the startup and a contact page. To some, it may comprise of e-Commerce features that allow invoicing and other services/goods payment activities. Our team of cutting-edge website designers is always willing to contact you and discuss with you the various aspects you may be in need of for the website and provide you our complete website features checklist.
Our developers and designers work under the same roof, and we do cooperate and communicate with our clients 100% to ensure that the website designs communicate the correct messages to the prospective users.

It's award season! Fall is the best time of year ever. In fact, my birthday birthday is in three days (on Black Friday of all days. Usually it's Thanksgiving.), the leaves are bright orange, there's an ever so slight chill in the air, and we're heading into award season and the holidays. Today I have my views on the fashion and makeup of the 2011 American Music Awards. Continue reading
Monthly Archives: November 2011
A Little Change
New look, new me, new outlook, and new direction.
Instead of just nail polish, I'm going to post whatever I feel like posting.
Coming up: My fashion craves, a review of the fashion at the American Music Awards from last night, and maybe some movie reviews.
Tell me what you think of the new look! Comments always appreciated.
China Glaze Metro Colletion
Westside Warrior- a dark military green, much less yellow than Zoya's Dree. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
Trendsetter- a funky yellow shimmer. It's got a tad bit of green in it that makes it that beautiful ugly color!
City Siren- A deep red creme with blue undertones. Nearly opaque in one coat. Not my favorite colors, as you may know.
Concrete Catwalk- A deep blue-tinted gray. GORGEOUS.
CG In The City- Silver purple and bronze glitter in a clear base. This was two coats and it was fairly opaque.
Midtown Magic- A dark brown with gold and red shimmer. I stamped this with leaves in China Glaze GR8.
Halloween Nails!
China Glaze Dorothy Who — Swatches, Review, and Photos
Hello! I'm back! Health issues kinda sorta worked out, and a fancy new MacBook Pro to post on should equal regular posting. Hopefully. I have a lot of pictures coming your way, so keep a look out!
Let's get started!
China Glaze Dorothy Who is a medium blue glitter with silver glitter. And it is GORGEOUS. Now, it's not like this is a new polish or anything, but I got these pictures and had to share them. The formula was amazing, I had to do extremely little clean up, which is my favorite kind. 🙂

"Carnival of Light," the long-rumored, almost mythical 14-minute experimental Beatles track, may soon see the light of day. Composed and performed only once for an electronic music festival in 1967, Sir Paul McCartney earlier this week confirmed that the recording exists, and the piece once thought to be too experimental for mainstream tastes might actually see a release date sometime in the near future.
In the 1990's while preparing the Anthology collection, the Beatles plus producer George Martin vetoed its inclusion, deeming the track as being "too adventurous" for release. But McCartney feels the public is ready for the psychedelic/avant-garde inspired tune, which is said to include improvised distorted guitar, church organ, gargling, backwards tape sounds, random cacophony and band members shouting words or phrases like "Barcelona!" and "Are you all right?"
First though, approval from the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison, plus permission from Ringo Starr and George Martin would be required.
I found a video on YouTube that claims to contain actual "Carnival of Light" music. Of course if this is a real Beatles tracks, it's brilliant! If this is in fact not a recording from he Beatle's, it just becomes ... more stuff.

Google has impressed me once again. After giving support for Voice and Video chat in Linux, they have just announced that you can call other people from GMail.
They provide a very cheap rate which i think very reasonable. For call to US and Canada, Google will not charge you, but they will charge you for calls to other countries, but in a very special cheap rate.
Check below's video from Google about their newest innovation:

Executive expectations for IT have evolved from delivering technology services to contributing to strategic differentiation and growth of the business. CEOs are increasingly asking their CIOs: Do I have the right IT? And how do I know? To answer these questions, CIOs must connect their IT capabilities with the unique perspectives of their business models for delivering value.
The first step is to define your enterprise's business models in terms of asset types and rights, using a framework based on research by MIT's Center for Information Systems Research and research funded by the National Science Foundation.
Start by identifying the assets at the core of your product and service offerings. Then, determine the rights you hold to the assets. Do you create the asset for the customer (creator), rent or lease it to the customer (landlord), distribute a product or service (distributor), or match up buyers and sellers (broker)?
The next step is to define the models in greater depth by describing their uniqueness in terms of 10 perspectives as based on the approach developed by Arvetica consulting partner Alexander Osterwalder, formerly of the University of Lausanne. They are:
Value proposition; Target customer segments; Communication and distribution channels; Relationships with customers; Core capacities; Configuration of activities; Partners and their motivations; Revenue streams; Cost structure; Values and principles. The final step is to connect these perspectives with IT capabilities.
Determining The True Business Model
There are two basic elements of a business model. The first is an archetype, which essentially defines what business the enterprise is in relative to what rights to which assets the business sells. For example, a financial services company that makes loans offers temporary-use rights to financial assets (money). A complex business may include multiple archetypes.
The second element details how the enterprise does business in terms of the 10 perspectives previously listed. The perspectives must be defined for each archetype represented in the company's businesses. The way that perspectives are configured can be unique to an enterprise, creating competitive advantage (or disadvantage). Knowing the true business model is the first step in finding the right IT. The next step is to discover the IT that makes the business model work.

The 2013 volume contains two texts that are equally exemplary in their synthesis of information. The one is a theoretical argument for ecological economics and a disavowal of both the current economic model and the shallow, too-timid 'green economy: (3) "Building a Sustainable and Desirable Economy-in-Society-in-Nature" by Robert Costanza, Gar Aplerovitz, Herman Daly, Juliet Schor and many other leading environmental economists. The other is a bold and lucid essay that concludes the volume, entitled with a deliberately misleading question: (4) "Is It Too Late?" by the fabulous Sci-Fi writer Kim Stanley Robinson. Just consider this quote (print edition p. 377):
We never hear the current global system described as scientific capitalism. Maybe this is because the phrase sounds a bit oxymoronic, these two power centers being vaguely understood to be at cross-purposes. In fact, modern history could be understood as a struggle betweeen these conjoined twins for primary control of humanity's affairs. One view of their fight could portray capitalism as attempting to buy science's efforts and direct them to reinforce capitalist ownership, while science could be seen as attempting to reduce human suffering, repair damage, and dismantle injustice, all by its particular method of discovering and manipulating the world. ... We could say that capitalism is the residual of the feudal system while science is what we named the emergent next system long before we recognized it as the post-capitalism it has been from its very beginning.In the 2012 volume, (5) "The Path to Degrowth in Overdeveloped Countries," by Eric Assadourian, is another total-field study. It ends with the following outlook (print ed. p. 37):
In the end, whether societal leaders accept it or not, the natural limits of Earth--brought into view by increasing numbers of a population of 7 billion striving to live as consumers--will shatter the myth of continued growth, most likely due to dramatic changes to the planet's systems. Thus degrowth is part of humanity's future. Will people pursue this agenda proactively? Or will Earth and its limits drive the contraction of the global economy?In the 2011 volume, (6) "The Climate Crisis on our Plates," by Anna Lappe, is a succinct summary of the looming geopolitics of food insecurity. One terse conclusion (print ed. 95) is this:
If we are to continue to feed the planet--and feed it well--in the face of global climate chaos, we should be radically rethinking the industrial food system. We can start with what is on our plates.Dealing with "the connection between productivity, hours, and ecological footprint," as a section title runs, the study (7) "Sustainable Work Schedules for All," by Juliet Schor, in the 2010 volume, is another heuristic step towards a comprehensive outlook. Challenging the high-gear pursuit of material affluence, the alternative suggested here is downshifting, and a word to remember, in this context, is time affluence. How this matters comes out in the 2009 volume aptly titled "Into a Warming World". For the purposes of a seminar in climate philosophy, the whole volume is useful, not only in terms of its individual studies, but also in terms of the terminology compiled and defined--an indispensable lexical tool for philosophers wishing to work and research in an interdisciplinary context. This tool is "Climate Change Reference Guide and Glossary" by Alice McKeown and Gary Gardner. The study, though, that connects the 2010 and 2009 volumes, is (8) "Shifting Values in Response to Climate Change," by Tim Kasser. A take-home quote (p. 124) from Kasser's essay is itself a quotation, from D. Rosnick's and M. Weisbrot's Are Shorter Work Hours Good for the Environment? A Comparison of U.S. and European Energy Consumption (Washington, DC: Center for Economic Policy and Research, 2006), p. 1:
If, by 2050, the world works as many hours as do Americans it could consume 15-30 percent more energy than it would following Europe. The additional carbon emissions could result in 1 to 2 degrees Celsius in extra global warming.In this sense, climate change is ultimately a structural-cultural problem in need of a structural-cultural solution. Unless it will be forthcoming, we'd be dealing with what Christopher Flavin and Robert Engelman call, in their keynote essay of the 2009 volume, (9) "The Perfect Storm".
If I could add one more essay, to make it an even ten, from all the SotW volumes to date (excepting the just published 2015 volume), then I'd select (10) "The Acceleration of History," by Lester R. Brown, from the 1996 volume. The title is meant in reply to Francis Fukuyama's misguided Hegelian hope, so fashionable with the neocons at the turn of the millennium, that the so-called "free world" of free markets constitutes "The End of History". Oops, dude didn't factor in market failure of climate change! Brown's essay, by contrast, opens with a remark that, 20 years later, is truer then ever (p. 3):
The pace of change in our world is speeding up, accelerating to the point where it threatens to overwhelm the management capacity of political leaders.

Essential Need For Quality Pest Control in San Antonio, TX
No homeowner wants to deal with pests, but most do at some point during the year. Pests get into homes because they are looking for nesting areas, food, and water, and they can be not only a nuisance but destructive as well. Getting quality pest control in San Antonio is an essential requirement.
Pests such as rodents will chew through things such as wiring and pipes, which can lead to a leak or a house fire. Termites can tunnel through wood portions of the home, compromising the structure's integrity. As a result, homeowners and businesses can get termite and other pest control services to alleviate some of these problems.
Pest Prevention Strategies From the Pros
It's the homeowner's responsibility to maintain the structure, which includes deterrence of pest activity in and near the home. Professional exterminators offer these prevention techniques.
- Seal cracks in the foundation, caulk spaces around windows and doors, and ensure that screens have no holes.
- Keep outside garbage in a lidded container, and try not to put trash cans near or touching the home's exterior.
- Compost and wood piles should be placed a distance away from the home.
- Chimneys should have tight-fitting, secure caps.
- Attics and other storage places should be organized, and items should be stored in lidded plastic containers.
- Dry goods must be stored in sealable containers, and produce should be stored in the refrigerator.
- Dirty dishes should not be allowed to sit out overnight.
- Crumbs and spills should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Appliances should regularly be cleaned of food and grease buildup.
Home Pest Control in San Antonio Texas
Pests are very determined creatures, and they may find a way in even if the home has been pest-proofed. A home protection program with comprehensive pest control services will protect the home from Texas' most common pests. The program offers homeowners quarterly outside treatments, with the option to add interior treatment services.
By completely treating outside areas and the perimeter of the home, a pest control service can prevent most pests from getting into the home. Thus, reducing the need for interior treatments. The comprehensive program will pose minimal disruption to the family's routine. Consequently, there is no need to be home for exterior services. Those in need of pest control should call today for more information on the company's services.
Texas Termite Control
Termites are a great cause of concern for homeowners all over Texas. If there are signs of a termite infestation, or if there's a history of termite issues on the property, the owner should get help from a termite control company right away. Professional pest control companies have years of experience in eliminating and controlling termite infestations. If there's a suspected termite problem, the state-certified, specially trained inspectors will provide the homeowner with quality termite control services to eliminate a current infestation. The team will use either a liquid barrier or baits, depending on the nature of the problem and the homeowner's preferences. After the first treatment, the company will offer a yearly contract for termite protection.
The Benefits of Hiring Beeline Pest Control
- They are local, family run, and independent. More importantly, customers aren't made to feel like a friend, rather than a number. Similarly, the company's goal is to create a lasting relationship with each customer and ensure the homeowner's needs are always met.
- They use the best products on the market. All products are pet- and family-friendly, but effective enough to control Texas' toughest pests. Because the exterior treatments are so effective, interior service is not frequently needed.
- Services are guaranteed. If the customer continues to have pest problems after regular treatment, the company will return and apply additional treatments at no extra charge. After all, complete customer satisfaction is the number one goal.
- They treat all types of pests. The company can handle everything from roaches and ants to wasps, spiders, rats, and termites. Whether it is a rodent or an insect, homeowners are covered.
Hire a Company That Offers a Satisfaction Guarantee
Beeline Pest Control believes in ensuring that customers are offered the most reliable, current services using up-to-date technologies. Technicians understand the importance of the home in a family's life. Furthermore, they will do everything possible to ensure that Texas homes are kept free of pests and safe.

- Control of bed bugs and fleas
- Mosquito extermination
- Pet & human-friendly pest control
- Commercial pest services
- Bird removal
- Commercial pest removal
- Control of flying insects
A home pest infestation never occurs at a convenient time. Also, it can cause serious hassles. Not to mention health issues for some family members. Consequently, when scorpions, termites, rodents, or other wildlife invade a home, the owner looks for a fast, safe, and effective solution. A Texas pest control San Antonio company can get rid of insects, and other pests quickly and safely with minimal impact on the family's daily life. By calling exterminators in San Antonio, homeowners can get the services they need to get back to living a pest-free life.

There is a big problem these days with business ideas, everyone creates his list with hundreds of ideas and then, he publishes them in a confusing way that never let people understand how to start that business and learn the basics. At the same time, there is no need to talk about blogging and affiliate marketing in 2015 and list them as new businesses when they are there for years.
Other people still think about car washing and call it a creative business idea, why wasting people's time with lists that will never give a good advice and help people instead of bombarding their minds with a long list.
Today, we will talk about some of the new and smart online business ideas for young entrepreneurs. That never means, that's only for young people, but these ideas need lots of work and energy.
1: SEO and link analytics
This smart business needs a programmer with lots of energy and some networking to build relationships and work with other people. Internet marketers spend millions of dollars in total for things that seems easy to get and for free. It's just a check of a domain name, URL links, and SEO ranking.
It seems an old idea, right? However, there is a big chance that you can be the next billionaire with a well coded program, and also, the best marketing strategy and people who work with you.
Let's make things easier, websites like Ahrefs, MOZ and Majesticseo, are using completely different programs to analyze websites and make statistics about their links. However, their results are completely different from what you find as backlinks can be only the half number of the other website.
Now, what this means for us? Simply, all of them detect only a small percentage of the links and not all of them. If you're a webmaster with Google account, you can understand me, Google analyses pages quickly, and give more links as a report. But, people use other services because they add no follow, or not, and many other good things.
You can build your online business even if there are competitors with millions of customers. The only requirement is to offer something different and people will use your service and pay for that.
Need an example?
Of course, big brands receive millions of visitors per month and their Alexa traffic rank is something like 100 or 200. That means it's hard to compete with them in their work, however, a new site called webmeup.com is doing a great job and its interface is better than the others.
Most importantly, they succeeded the biggest part of their business that's receiving a huge traffic, and that means lots of potential customers. Actually, their Alexa rank is 5000 in a short period of time, and expects to see them in the top 100 sites nearly. I wish them a good luck for the great work. They are working friendly, with beautiful webmaster analytics tools. If they were working like any other software, they will never succeed, but they are offering something better, with extra features.
Now, if you want to benefit from this backlink and SEO analytics business idea, you have to do this:
You should be a programmer first, or have the resources to hire skilled programmers, and work together. You have to spend some 2 to 6 months building the program, and the crawlers that will explore the web by following links. Learn why Google succeeded when the other failed and apply their method to your own project.
Even if there are big companies, web crawling and analytics still unable to detect all the links, that's good for you and this is your best time to show your skills.
Add more social media sites in the backlinks report, Pinterest, for example, is not listed in the big company statistics. So, find a way to crawl them and find links, add as many social networks as you can. Don't forget to focus only on sites with millions of users? Reddit, for example, is a good website to add.
In other words, find what the actual tools have as negative, and make it positive for you. Add what they don't have, and work with creative people. Of course, you need a small investment, at least to start.
This is the most important part, a software without marketing skills will never succeed. What you need is to let the world know about your great tool, create a modern and an attractive website design, and make it looks professional.
Ask bloggers to review your software and publish a post about it. If you have extra budget, invest in advertising with websites. Yahoo advertising, is a trusted platform that you can use.
When you have a new backlink and SEO analytics software, with marketing strategy and great people to work with, you can expect the success. It's not a rocket science to tell people, that your software is great and they can try it.
Give people a reason to sign up, and please give only trials and don't start with free plans. Know you why? People find free things not interesting and will never sign up. You should offer free trials, and then you can add the free plan with limited functions.
Marketers are not people with few dollars, they don't have a problem with investment, but they need to know that you're offering something with value, and then, they will subscribe for the monthly plan. Other companies offer plans that cost $500 and $900 for their big marketers who are also companies in general.
Stop thinking that there are brands and you can't compete with them, just work smarter, harder and make the difference. The success will be your destination. Google started like a small program with no way to succeed, at that time, only Yahoo and Altavista are the leaders, but Google came with something new better.
2: Social Media publishing and post scheduling
This is also a great idea for programmers and web developers, it's not new, but the time proves that's easy to succeed. Do you use Twitter, Facebook and Google plus? Yes, of course, at least for one of them, what this business does is spamming people with automatic posting and links, that's it, unfortunately. It's not a 100% social media marketing, as they call it, however, big companies make millions from this market.
All in all, it's a software that lets companies and marketers auto post links or tweets in a fixed time. So, their followers will see those tweets or re-tweets, posts and probably they will click on some of them. Is that a rocket science again?. But it needs a smart marketing also, everything is achievable as idea, but marketing is not for everyone.
I'll tell you an example, Hootsuite is a big social media sharing and post scheduling platform, they are the biggest one today, and no one else was there when they started. In the year 2013, a new company called Buffer and I'm sure, you have heard about them if not a member actually, started their business with the same idea, but with fewer features and it's not a thing that makes Hootsuite users want to move to them.
However, they got millions of members in a short period of time. Remember that Buffer's features are not better, and they have fewer functions, but they still succeed. The reason is simple, marketing is the key, if you have the worst business in the world, people will join you if you're a smart marketer.
Now, what you need is a program that will schedule tweets and posts, and add more features than the other sites. You can add platforms such as Pinterest and make things different and better. It's not hard to do if you're a real entrepreneur and you love the social media world. Passion and hard work can bring big results with marketing skills.
Create WordPress plugins
This is a business idea that generates thousands of dollars for companies, or simply, for personal developers who believe in their coding, and WordPress skills and creates useful tools. Unlike the above ideas, this one does not need lots of work if you're a programmer. Even, you can hire programmers and work together.
Coding is not a problem since WordPress developers are thousands and you can easily find lots of them online. Some of them have blogs, others are working with companies and develop tools. So, you can cooperate with a programmer and build your business.
The WordPress plugins are add-ons to extend the basic site functionality. There are thousands of them for free, but with limited features. The good news is that lots of people are searching for specific plugins, and they are ready to pay for that. If you search for these missed plugins you will find a real treasure to work on.
You can start by selling your plugin or plugins with popular marketplaces such as Codecanyon. You can earn up to 70% per sale with them, and that's just to start your project, and then you can build your own website and sell your plugins from there. However, starting with big marketplaces will help much better.
When you feel that you have some resources for advertising, create many plugins and make sure they are unique in function or better than the others. Create an affiliate program for your project and you will be amazed how many bloggers will promote them.
You can also use affiliate networks, I recommend ShareASale because of their trust and long experience. In the end, you will create big business.

Digital and Process Automation have Changed The Way Businesses Operateby Ashok Pandey June 29, 2017 0 comments
India is becoming digital; every business is focusing on adopting the new technology that help them to grow. Be it enterprise or small, every business is looking for the easy and effective solution to cater their needs. In conversation with PCQuest, Sai Pratyush, Additional Vice-President, Product Management – Managed Services, Enterprise Business, Tata Teleservices, spoke the new TDBS which is helping business to move ahead in this digital world.
How is TDBS enabling SMEs to adopt digital solutions?
The SME segment is seeing promising growth and companies are moving up the value chain by integrating digital technology into their operations. Businesses today acknowledge that while faster adoption of technology helps them in cost rationalization, it also enables them to reach their customers faster, service them better and manage the organization more efficiently by connecting offices, partners, and the larger ecosystem for closer collaboration and proactive servicing.
TDBS, today, effectively plays the role of a 'Technology Catalyst' that enables the SMEs to chart their digital growth strategy and realize their full business potential. With continued innovation in our products and services, we have evolved from simply being connectivity partners to being a holistic one-stop-shop 'business solution partners' providing overall ICT requirements of SMEs. We have the expertise not only in the connectivity space but in the digital space as well which allows us to take end-to-end ownership of the entire solution, be it devices, applications, or connectivity. Our extensive channel network gives us the ability to offer these solutions across the length and breadth of the Country as we believe that the need for these solutions also lies beyond the top tier cities.
SME customers want solutions which are easy to deploy and are cost effective. TDSB offers SMEs the widest portfolio of services which includes not only telecom infrastructure but Cloud, SaaS, and other enterprise mobility solutions. It is our continuous endeavor to ensure that our customers can procure these services easily and more importantly, in a cost effective manner. We have empowered our SME customers by developing solutions which can be configured on a pay-per-use basis and are cloud based which means that they do not have to make upfront investments.
Digital and process automation have changed the way businesses operate and hence they are now opting for solutions like Internet of Things (IoT), Fleet Management, Mobile Device Management (MDM) and other ICT services. We follow 'lifecycle management' approach to addressing the specific needs of customers on a regular basis. Through this, we intend to take care of every requirement of the customer in a more engaged and persistent manner. Irrespective of the size of the SME customer, we provide an "individualized" account management experience through our Sales and our ecosystem partners.
TDBS is also doing its bit to educate SME customers on the whole concept of digitization. We are doing this through symposiums, forums, and webinars. Every year, we conduct Do Big Symposiums – a thought leadership platform, where industry stalwarts from across business verticals convene to discuss how digital technologies are used to deliver compelling products and services, connect faster with customers and optimize costs. TDBS spends a lot of time and efforts in terms of conducting events, which helps enterprises understand a lot more about what digitization and what it can do for them and how soon can they go digital.
How do you see growth in digital adoption in India?
According to various industry forums, India is home to 36 million SMEs employing close to 80 million people across the country. The SME segment is growing rapidly and is fast adopting technology to become more effective and efficient in their deliveries. Digital technology has become the crucial driver in shaping the economy and has evidently become more embedded into the fabric of businesses in each sector.
At the heart of this very development is the new age consumer who is always connected to the internet to make informed decisions and demands a very responsive and customized attention. Companies which are quick to adopt innovative technologies and move towards this growth curve will remain fittest to survive. The digital ecosystem will fuel the economic growth and create tremendous new business opportunities, especially for the SMEs. The internet economy in India is becoming a major contributor to GDP and is expected to grow exponentially in next few years. The Internet is enabling businesses to interact with their customers in an entirely new way. Social media is also impacting the way businesses operate and businesses realize that Digital is a medium they cannot do without. With increased penetration of the mobile technology and highly democratization of data particularly in currently internet dark regions, one would see a major socio economic transformation.
What are the challenges faced by SMEs in digital solutions
Though SMEs are more flexible and open to evaluate and implement off the shelf digital solutions, they often face challenges both before and after they decide to adopt Digital solutions. These challenges include lack of technology know-how, availability of skill-sets, funds, cost, and return on investments among others. Addressing these challenges will be critical to growth and development of SMEs. While most SMEs are keen on adopting the technology, a lack of awareness and skill-sets holds them back. They are also unsure of which technology model to choose since they have varied requirements in terms of scalability, flexibility, and costs.
Once these SMEs have decided to go down the path of Digital, they face numerous challenges in the implementation phase as well. Digital solutions constitute multiple components from separate providers and typical challenges arise in terms of getting these different OEMs/providers to work together towards a common goal.
What are TDBS's business, and network expansion & optimization plans?
SME and mid-market space is growing, and we continue to grow our market share in this space. TDBS has one of the largest channel partner networks in India, which allow us to reach out customers who are geographically spread out across the country. As a Digital Evangelist, we are committed to enabling SMEs in the country to realize their full business potential.
For the next 2-3 years, we aim to –
- Focus on reaching out to the next one million potential SME customers. TDBS aims to double the customer base to 1 lakh in the near future, with the help of our comprehensive product portfolio
- Double the growth trajectory to 25-30 percent in the coming years. The optimism for such high growth curve stems from the huge headroom available for growth in the SME space
- Reach more locations through physical partnerships, the digital medium and our transition from a connectivity provider to a one-stop-shop business solutions provider.
In terms of network growth, TDBS will be strengthening its services by adding 2,000 new fiber locations every month to the existing 125,000-km-long fiber network.
How much growth do you see in terms of technology adoption for Internet of Things/M2M/Cloud/Focus on Smart Concept?
The ICT market is all set to boom with the massive digital disruption SME's and MSME's have created in India. In India, IoT is gaining traction in a few areas but it's early days yet. Most research companies project that 2-5 billion devices will get connected by the year 2020. According to a recent NASSCOM study, in the next five years, the global opportunity brought about by IoT is likely to touch USD 300 billion and in comparison, India too would boast of a USD 15 billion market.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is fast becoming a major transformative opportunity for enterprises both large and in the SME space. Many organizations have started their IoT journey in the recent years, but most of them are yet to move beyond pilots to create enterprise-level transformative IoT strategies.
Despite widespread awareness, large scale adoption and implementation of IoT is still a challenge primarily because organizations are still struggling with the IoT ecosystem and more importantly, the business case to justify IOT investments. That, however, is set to change. We are witnessing the successful adoption of IoT in Utilities, Logistics, Transport and Retail in India.
As per an EY report, companies have enhanced their focus on mobility as against social, resulting in a change from Social-Mobility-Analytics & Cloud (S-M-A-C) to Mobility-Analytics-Cloud & Social (M-A-C-S). The second-generation entrepreneurs are currently opting for M-A-C-S technology to boost revenue, bring operational efficiency and transform the customer experience. Cloud technology has seen a significant rise in the SME sector. SMEs recognize the value of cloud and have begun their transition. According to industry reports, 90% of SMEs in India feel cloud adoption is increasingly important for innovation and enabling business success. Additionally, 87% of very ambitious Indian SMEs believe enterprise applications, analytics, and mobile solutions will play an important role in achieving their ambitions.

The new Caesarstone showroom sits next to the state-of-the-art warehouse facility in Yatala; and is designed for prospective clients to appreciate the look and feel of the Caesarstone product. With the changing light of day, and during the night, the space functions as a retail and event space. The focus is always on the product, and the quality of the light is all-important for showing the true colours and textures of the stone. Users can touch and feel large pieces of stone, collect samples and view slabs in the warehouse. The space also utilises touch-screen technology to allow clients to visualise the stone in their own projects.
The project was designed to be as flexible as possible, to enable Caesarstone to change their stone panels whenever they wanted to showcase new products. For this reason, the palette is crisp and simple – making the stone the hero of the spaces. The various Caesarstone finishes flow through into boardrooms, amenities & staff areas to reinforce the pride that the Caesarstone team have for their brand.

Negotiations Continue As DirecTV-Rainbow/MSG Deadline Approaches
While Fox and Time Warner Cable continue to garner many of the headlines in their cantankerous year-end contract negotiations, DirecTV and Rainbow Media are taking a quieter tack, presumably moving toward a renewal accord.
The multiyear distribution contracts for Rainbow Media's national services AMC, We TV, IFC and Fuse conclude with DirecTV on Dec. 31, as do the deals for regional sports networks MSG and MSG Plus. The negotiations are also said to include the Sundance Channel, which Rainbow acquired last year, and Wedding Central, the spin-off of the women's-targeted We service..
Officials at the distributor and programmer issued similar marks, suggesting that a new pact could be in the offing.
"We continue to have productive discussions and are working to finalize an agreement," said officials at Rainbow and MSG.
For his part, a DirecTV spokesman noted: "We continue to have productive discussions and are working to finalize a deal."
The bundled negotiations with DirecTV come as Rainbow and MSG parent Cablevision is poised to spin off the latter into its own business. The MSG unit includes the Madison Square Garden arena; professional sports teams the New York Knicks, Rangers and Liberty; theater venues Radio City Music Hall, The Beacon Theater and the Chicago Theater; the music channel Fuse; and its regional MSG Networks sports channels.
Cablevision's original plan called for the transaction to be finalized by year-end. However, the company earlier this month said the spin would now occur sometime in the first quarter.
