Challenges are simply opportunities

When you encounter resistance, it means you are moving forward.  When you come across a challenge, it means you have reached an opportunity for growth.  Life becomes more rewarding as it becomes more demanding.  Each new challenge is an opportunity to stretch beyond your previous limits.  Most of the advantages you enjoy today were born in the difficulties through which you once traveled.  So revel in the beauty of each challenging effort.  Give your best to life, and life will return the favor many times over.

Two Women Now Take Charge of Windows

Since the emergence of the Internet, the tech sector, like the many other professions has been dominated by men. A report from nonprofit Catalyst indicates that women hold just above a quarter of the computing industry’s jobs, and that number has now declined over the past two decades. The executives of the industry also for the most part tend to be headed by men. A few exceptions to this gender biased tradition include:  Hewlett-Packard with two women CEOs Meg Whitman & Carly Fiorina; Then there’s Safra Catz, who is the president of Oracle. Sheryl Sandberg who sits at the helm of one of world’s most popular companies -Facebook, and who could forget Marissa Mayer who was recently appointed to take charge of a struggling Yahoo!.  However, none of Apple’s top five highest-paid executives are female. And although Intel does have a few female executives, none of them seem to play a role in engineering. So what could be a possible  reason behind this disparity?

According to a Carnegie Mellon study (2002), women tended to reject the “geek” tag significantly   more than their male counterparts and were more likely to say that they didn’t want computers to “become their life”; as reported by Alex Klein from thedailybeast.com.

Apparently, this had no impact on Julie Larson-Green and Tami Reller: the two ladies who now take charge of Microsoft’s Windows division, which is undoubtedly the brand’s most important business. Julie Larson-Green replaces the former software boss Steven Sinofsky, who resigned from the company recently after his crucial Windows 8 launch met with disastrous reviews and much internal tension. Larson –Green will assume the role of managing the Redmond, Wash.–based company’s giant software engineering team, while Tami Reller will head Windows’ business strategy.

It’s difficult to chart out the amount of influence the two women will wield in the industry. According to Forbes, Microsoft is the world’s biggest public software company, with twice as much the sales of its closest competitor- Oracle. According to its 2011 year-end earnings report, Microsoft’s Windows division brings in a staggering eighteen billion dollars a year in revenues. While Yahoo’s total revenues added up to $4.98 billion in 2011. Larson-Green and Reller now join the software industry’s most powerful executives club.

Google's Nexus 4 - record break

Google Nexus 4 already sold out at U.S. Google Play store

Following a worldwide trend, the new smart phone goes on sale in the U.S. and within hours is no longer available.

Just minutes after going on sale in the United States, the new Nexus 4 smart phone from Google and LG was already sold out. Visitors to the Google Play store are greeted with a "coming soon" notice for both the 8GB and 16GB versions of the device.

The phones previously sold out in the United Kingdom in less than an hour. Some customers reported having trouble accessing the store or checking out successfully. Meanwhile, Dutch blog AndroidWorld reported that a planned Netherlands launch was scrapped amid high demand elsewhere.

It's unclear how many units Google was able to produce by launch time. The Nexus 4 won praise for its low $299 starting price, the fact that it arrived without a contract, and for subtle improvements in the Android 4.2 operating system, which it is the first phone to run. But itLG Nexus 4 drew criticism for failing to run on 4G LTE networks.

The expanded Nexus 7 lineup and the new Nexus 10 tablet, which also went on sale in the United States today, were still available for purchase in all their configurations.

Dengue Fever Remedy

One of my friends forwarded this Useful and important information today. 

______________________________________

PASS THIS  INFORMATION TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN, IT MAY SAVE LIVES.  I would like to share this interesting discovery from a friend's classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 liters of blood transfusion. His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around. Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like "Won Low Kat". But it works. *Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue* You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all. A friend of my friend had dengue last year.. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted. Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat. Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients. Furthermore it's so easily available. Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!! Impossible IS "i m possible"

Touched my heart

After a long time....almost 10 months after....I am sharing this heart touching post, which I found on google+. Thanks compassion

_________________________________________________________

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.

One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.

And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

Cranky Old Man

What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see?
What are you thinking .. . when you're looking at me?
A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise,
Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food .. . ... . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . .'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . . . ... lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking?. .Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse .you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another
A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me . . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, .. ...Babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead.
I look at the future ... . . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
It's jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells
I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see.
Not a cranky old man .
Look closer . . . . see .. .. . .. .... . ME!!

Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too!

PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM!
The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart!

How to add funds to Paypal Account through Indian Banks

Can Indian Customers fund their paypal account through their Indian Bank accounts. If so how?

Pre-funding the PayPal account for the purpose of either sending money to another PayPal user or purchasing services or goods online is not an available feature for Indian PayPal accounts, as it would contradict our efforts to comply with the latest RBI guidelines, which disallows this. Therefore, when you initiate payment, you will only need a credit card to fund it.

And since any balance and all future payments into an Indian PayPal account may not be used for online purchases, these funds must then be transferred to the account holder's Indian bank account within 7 days from the receipt of confirmation from the buyer in respect of the goods or services.

PayPal is committed to working closely with the regulators and ensuring that PayPal complies with all applicable India regulations. Thus, to ensure compliance with the latest requirements set out in the notification of the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI Guidelines”) governing the processing and settlement of export-related receipts facilitated by online payment gateways:

1. Paypal no longer provide domestic payment service in India. This means that you are unable to send or receive payments from an Indian resident customer. However, you can still send and receive international payments: you can continue to use PayPal to shop online with over 8 million merchants internationally.

2. PayPal customers in India will not be able to send or receive payments for any export-related goods or services for an amount exceeding $3,000 USD per transaction. This is a per transaction limit applied to all online payment gateways processing transactions for Indian sellers and can neither be removed nor increased.
Once the website changes have taken effect, Indian sellers will no longer be able to receive greater than $3,000 or equivalent for a single transaction. Should the sender attempt payment exceeding $3,000 USD, they will encounter an error message on the webpage and the payment will not go through.

3. PayPal can no longer allow India based customers from reusing their balance for making payments. Thus, you will only be able to make a payment from a linked credit card. If you do not have a credit card linked to your PayPal account, you will be prompted to link one. And since any balance and all future payments into your PayPal account may not be used to buy goods or services online, these funds must then be transferred to your bank account in India within 7 days from the receipt of confirmation from the buyer in respect of the goods or services.

Hope this information will help my fellow Paypal custumers in India.

How to withdraw funds/money from Alertpay to a bank account in India

I have been searching for this solution for a long time. At last got this solution. This post explains about withdrawing funds from Alertpay through Bank Wire.
Withdraw through Bank Wire to a Bank Account in India.
A bank wire withdrawal is one of the methods of transferring your Alertpay funds to your bank.
Withdrawals by bank wire are processed within 3 - 6 business days (excluding weekends) of the request and are offered in the following currencies:•  US Dollars ($)•  Euro (€)•  GBP (£)Pleas
First your must first set up your bank account on AlertPay to perform transaction.
If you have not yet added your bank account, here are the steps:
1. Login to your AlertPay account.
2. Click on “Profile”.
3. Under “Financial”, click on “Bank Accounts”.
4. Select the country where your bank account is located and click on “Next”.
5. Select Bank Wire and click on “Next”.
6. Choose currency, enter bank details and click on “Next”.
7. Review details, accept any authorization requests and confirm

If you have already added your bank account for bank wire withdrawals, follow these steps to withdraw your funds:
1. Login to your AlertPay account.
2. Click on “Withdraw”.
3. Under “Electronic Funds”, select “Bank Wire”.
4. Enter amount to withdraw, transaction details and click on “Next”.
5. Review details and confirm.
I tried Bank Wire withdrawal to withdraw $59.87 USD to my bank account (ICICI Bank) in India. Alertpay deducted (charged) $15 (Fifteen dollars) as FEE for this transaction and deposited $44.87. But my local bank ICICI also charged me $5, then deposited the remaining $39.87 i.e. INR1,736.65 ($39.87) in my account. So, withdrawing Alertpay funds to a bank account in India is a very costly process. You should be ready to lose $20 of your withdrawal amount. e.g. If you request for a withdrawal of $100, you will get $80, after all these deductions. It took 6days to complete the whole process. I have requested withdrawal on 15th May, got paid on 20th May.
Hope this will help people who are searching for the details. Thanks for reading my post. please do share your experience in comments section, so that, it will be more helpful to my blog readers.
