Microsoft Is Steadily Advancing Towards The Holy Grail Of Cloud Computing



A few days ago Microsoft (MSFT) presented its new Xbox named "Xbox One". However in this article I'm not going to talk to you about the console. I'm going to talk to you about something bigger, the foundations of which were completed with the launch of the Xbox One. I'm talking about a project that Microsoft is working on for quite some time and that is slowly but steadily coming to fruition.


This phrase is the core of what Microsoft is creating. A truly universal across-devices platform. Every device we have from watches and smartphones to PCs to TVs will operate within the same ecosystem, the same apps, the same programs, the same interface. In this platform you will be able to access all your apps, programs, files, media from any device without any limitation other than the size of the screen you are using.

Lockheed Martin Expands Cloud Computing Services For UK Government




Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) UK has expanded its range of cloud computing services available to government customers to include IT service integration and management, known as SIAM in the UK.


SIAM enables UK government departments to deliver seamless, end-to-end IT services in a multi-vendor sourcing model. To effectively manage the multi-vendor environment, SIAM is often required to provide architecture design support, service desk implementation and rigorous reporting of management information related to the service. Lockheed Martin UK offers these services through the G-Cloud 3 framework agreement, which succeeds the previous G-Cloud 2 program.

"We are applying our strong cyber security expertise to ensure secure cloud computing and help governments realize cost-savings and efficiencies from the use of advanced technologies," said Vicki Schmanske, vice president of information technology and security solutions for Lockheed Martin's Information Systems & Global Solutions. "Our inclusion in G-Cloud 3 will strengthen the corporation's IT service activities across the broader UK public sector."


The company will support G-Cloud 3 through its Solutions-as-a-Service (SolaS®) secure cloud delivery platform. This mission-focused approach to cloud computing combines best-in-industry partnerships, IT domain expertise and advanced technology and innovation to deliver private, community and hybrid cloud offerings for many U.S. and international customers. SolaS offers government organizations the opportunity to outsource computing and storage, e-mail and collaboration, cloud strategy and integration; cyber security; green IT and energy optimization; cloud brokering; virtualization consulting; and virtual desktop infrastructure for delivery of critical managed IT services.





A thought leader in cloud computing, Lockheed Martin has been very involved in shaping standards across the industry. As a government cloud provider, Lockheed Martin will be among the first companies, in the U.S., to receive FedRAMP authorization this spring for its SolaS Secure Community Cloud solution. This will validate Lockheed Martin's strong cloud security practices and reassure federal agencies as they move to the cloud. To see the full range of Lockheed Martin's cloud, visit http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/what-we-do/information-technology/cloud.html


Lockheed Martin is the leading provider of IT services to the U.S. federal government and in the UK, Lockheed Martin was the IT prime contractor for the 2011 Census.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 118,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2012 were $47.2 billion.

Kingfisher Airlines Ltd (KFA) EVP Hitesh Patel will leave soon ?



Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) promoter Dr Vijay Mallya's assurances of restarting the grounded airline now seem to be running thin even with his old associates. KFA executive vice-president Hitesh Patel, who joined Mallya nine years ago and was instrumental in the airline's launch in 2005, has put in his papers. Patel was also active in meetings with the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) and talking to prospective investors after airline was grounded last October.


Mr Hitesh Patel is returning home to New York and will take a much-needed break before resuming work elsewhere. It was not easy facing the ire of employees and scores of other agencies, who have not been paid for months," said sources.

It is learnt that Patel stuck to the airline when the management was talking to investors but when nothing seemed to materialize, he decided to call it a day.

"The Diageo deal took way too long to be of any help to restarting KFA. Even at this moment, the airline management is talking to an investor. But nothing has materialized," said sources.

In recent weeks, even DGCA chief Arun Mishra has started refusing appointments to the airline's management.

Thursday 16 May 2013

Nepal Airlines Dornier 228 crashed at Jomsom Airport, crashed on the banks of Kaligandaki River.




A plane crashed while trying to land at a mountain Airstrip in northern Nepal early Thursday, injuring all 21 people on board.

Four of the injured are in critical condition, police officer Bhim Bahadur Chand said. No one was killed.

Nine passengers are Japanese tourists, and the three crew members and the other passengers are all Nepali.

The plane belonging to state-owned Nepal Airlines was trying to land at Jomsom airport, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) northwest of Katmandu, when it crashed on the banks of Kaligandaki river.

The injured were rushed to the local hospital, and those with serious injuries are being airlifted to nearby Pokhara town for treatment.

The area is popular with foreign trekkers visiting the Mount Annapurna area and Hindu pilgrims visiting the revered Muktinath temple.

Fifteen people were killed last May when a plane crashed while attempting to land at the same airport.

Six persons - plane's Captain Deependra Pradhan, co-pilot Suresh K.C, air hostess Santa Maya Tamang and passengers Govinda Pahadi and Japanese nationals S. Okawa and K. Chiyo received serious injuries. They have been flown to Pokhara for further treatment.

Blog commenting is a favorite method of backlinking, due to the popularity of blogs.  The amount of love Google gives to them, coupled with the lack of administration found on most blogs, makes them a good source of backlinks.  Blog commenting is the act of posting a comment on someone else’s blog and including a link back to your own site.  Google loves blogs and crawls them often for new content, so getting them indexed usually requires no effort on your part as long as the blogs are current.  Commenting on an old blog post from 2008 is probably not going to be found by Google.

The trouble with blog commenting is that many blog posts end up with hundreds of blog comments, which greatly reduces the amount of juice you get for the link.  There is also the ability of blog owners to mark their blogs as “No Follow,” which tells Google NOT to follow any links on the page. 

Blogs also get spammed to death with comments, due to automatic commenting software being used inappropriately.  Have you ever been to a blog and seen a blatant spam comment about Viagra or jewelry in the comment section?  Blog operators have to spend a lot of time administering their blogs to avoid this kind of spam, and many simply don’t have the time and ignore it.


Review Writing Potential

Review writing has a lot of potential in the online world because of following reasons:

A really awesome and well crafted review could make any product or service go viral & advertisers will love this.
Review writing is a great way for a blogger to rank products on search engines, drive traffic and make affiliate money.

Reason 1:

When an advertiser wishes for you to write and publish a review, the advertiser is looking for more than a back link that won’t give much ROI. You increase chances of getting more advertisers if you excel in review writing and can get the reviews ranked on first page of Google. Just imagine, which advertiser will be foolish enough to pass up this opportunity?

Reason 2: 

If you don’t have any advertiser to pay upfront, you should still do review writing to improve the overall value of your blog. Write reviews, get them ranked and earn affiliate commissions. Apart from this, well ranked reviews will continue to give you steady traffic.
On its own, review writing is a recommended way to monetize any blog. Advertisers will love to get their product reviews ranked higher and in the process, you get to earn dollars.
If you don’t have a blog, you can still do reviews as a ghost writer and sell it.

Review Writing Charges:

The cost of review writing depends on your writing and SEO skills. Don’t be blind to charge what other product reviewers are charging. Talk to a few review writers and understand the market. Moreover, you can research on freelancing sites like Elance, oDesk and Guru to see the kind of money clients are willing to pay to a ghost reviewer.

For you blog, the cost of review writing and ranking depends on your blog’s metrics (Alexa, PR and others) and the kind of value you have to review. Just to give you an idea, a PR 2 blog can ask for $20 - $100 per product review.

How to Get Hired?

Review writing is different from blogging in its purpose and writing style. If you think you have it in you to do paid review writing, you could get hired by:

adding an “advertisement” or “buy reviews” page on your blog.
use Facebook groups to offer review services.
sign up on programs like Sponsored Reviews & Links Vehicle.
be active on freelancing sites like oDesk, Elance, Freelance, People Per Hour and Guru, and actively bid on review projects.

Earning Estimate: $500 - US$ 15000 per month
