Mismanagement of human capital combined with lack of board level awareness is a major blocker
London, February 20 2013: Research commissioned by IPsoft has revealed that 69% of IT decision makers would prioritise modernising their IT infrastructure if their IT staff had more man hours at their disposal, with many more citing deployment of new applications and configuration and installation of new technologies as key areas they would like more time spent on. The Vanson Bourne research study, commissioned by the expert systems specialist, surveyed UK IT decision makers in a bid to understand more about what value additional human capital would bring to businesses.
"Too many organisations today are failing to invest time in improvements to existing IT infrastructure, often because they don't have the resources available to do so," comments UK MD Terry Walby. "In many cases those skills exist within a business, but they are often tied up with dealing with low level tasks related to running, rather than improving, IT. This survey revealed that staff only regularly use about half of their applicable skills, so if companies looked at smarter ways of freeing up existing resources they could prioritise change activities that would really make an impact to the business."
Despite the criticality of IT not just to running the business, but to driving innovation, the research also revealed that 57% of board level executives admit to not knowing what skills their IT teams are armed with.
Walby continues, "Part of the issue is that often businesses don't spend enough time considering how to best use the talent they have at their disposal. Firstly, a greater awareness of capability from the top down is fundamental. Then, organisations should look to automation to relieve skilled staff of more mundane activities, and facilitate the more intelligent and efficient use of human capital. With early adopters consistently seeing over half of IT support tasks delivered with no human intervention, untapped potential within existing IT staff can quickly be released by following this approach."
Bob Tarzey, Service Director at analyst firm Quocirca concludes, "It appears that in many cases the wastage of skills is simply accepted by IT managers. Whilst this continues, IT departments will be less able to focus on the delivery of innovative new applications, to the detriment of the businesses they serve." The impacts of this are explored further in Quocirca's whitepaper "The wastage of human capital in IT operations".

All-time Heineken Cup Try-scorers
Toulouse weathered an early onslaught from a determined Treviso before claiming a 35-14 victory in their clash at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
The bonus-point win saw the four-time Heineken Cup winners leapfrog Leicester and go two points clear in Pool 2 and set up a winner-takes-all clash with their Premiership rivals at Welford Road next weekend.
While the Tigers were struggling to earn a 15-15 draw at Ospreys, Tobias Botes' early penalty gave Treviso the lead at the Stade Ernest Wallon. But after Gary Botha got over in the sixth minute, Toulouse would not look back.
Tommaso Benvenuti dotted down four minutes later to level the scores but further tries from Patricio Albacete, Vincent Clerc and Florian Fritz sent the hosts well clear.
Luke McAllister made no mistake with the boot and Treviso scrum-half Botes managed to kick two more penalties but, when Yohan Huget got over in the 80th minute, McAllister converted the points to rubberstamp a comfortable win.
The French club are now guaranteed a quarter-final place if they can avoid defeat at Welford Road next Sunday.

Many plant leaves appear red in the autumn, and many papers have focused on the environmental factors and role of anthocyanin in this process. However few papers have examined the substances that are induced during this process. We hypothesised that excess sugar accumulation directly induces anthocyanin accumulation under autumn conditions. Using two methods (restricting phloem movement and exogenous sucrose feeding), we found that both surplus photosynthate and exogenous sucrose could induce anthocyanin biosynthesis, corresponding to up-regulation of several enzymes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis (phenylalanine ammonia lyase, chalcone isomerase, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase and flavonoid 3-O-glucosyl transferase) and in transport (glutathione S-transferase). Our results suggest that excess carbohydrate may be the proximate trigger for induction of anthocyanin biosynthesis in autumn, but only when carbohydrates are accumulated for storage.

Is it still outstanding in an increasingly crowded field?

The original Ricoh GR Digital was small, nimble and a joy to use. The third generation represents a refinement with a few nice touches thrown in. With more small, "serious" cameras on the market, though, is that enough?

Price: $699
More than three years ago, Ricoh returned to the U.S. photo market in a limited way after a lengthy absence with the GR Digital, something that was a unique item at the time—a posh, well-designed compact camera that was clearly made with serious photographers in mind. I marveled back then at its solid construction, no-nonsense control layout, and quick, unobtrusive handling, but I also pointed out its 8MP sensor's less than stellar image quality above ISO 200.Now we skip a generation and go directly to the recently-announced GR Digital III. What's changed? What's been improved? What has stayed the same? Before we start, in the interest of full disclosure, you should know that I work for Adorama. And Adorama is, as of this writing, the exclusive distributor of the Ricoh Digital GR--although nobody at Adorama has any idea what I'm going to say about the camera and have not given me any "guidance" as to how I should write this review. All I've been asked to do is to give my honest impressions of this camera based on my years of camera evaluation experience.A new worldA lot has happened in the world of compact digital cameras since the original GR was introduced. Micro Four Thirds introduced a new category of palm-sized cameras with interchangeable lenses and DSLR-sized sensors, while Sigma's DP-1 and DP-2 took a similar idea to the Ricoh—a posh camera with a non-zooming lens, and added an APS sensor and boast outstanding image quality if sluggish performance. Canon continues to perfect its G series, with the G11 showing near-DSLR quality and even usable higher-ISO images, despite its smaller sensor. Panasonic, Leica, Nikon and Canon have all come out with small cameras capable of high-end performance and quality.In other words, the Ricoh GR, which had the field almost all to itself when it was introduced, now has plenty of company—and competition. It also has competition from within Ricoh. I am also writing this report with the imminent arrival of the revolutionary GXR very much on my mind. Built around a base very similar to the GR, the GXR lets you swap out the lens and sensor for unprecedented flexibility and, theoretically, at least, a whole new level of image quality. With all that said, let's look at the camera. In the handsPhysically, the GRIII is almost exactly the same as previous GR cameras. It is small, but surprisingly substantial and solidly built, with its all-metal chassis and black flecked surface. The LCD finder is somewhat larger, and three custom menu options have been added to the exposure mode dial atop the camera. Video, which appeared in low-res on earlier versions, is still available but hidden in the "scene" settings.The 28mm (35mm equivalent) lens has been totally redesigned and is more low-light friendly now, with a maximum aperture of f/1.9, as opposed to f/2.4 in the original model, a good half-stop faster.The control layout is simple and logical. The top of the camera has the on-off button, shutter release, and mode dial—which is locked into position. To unlock it, you must press a button next to the dial. Right in front of the shutter release is one of two control dials, positioned for quick finger access. A pop-up flash is on the left side of the camera's top plate, which a flash hot shoe is slightly off center. The auxiliary optical finder goes in the hot shoe.
A "Menu OK" button accesses all of the camera's control and setup modes, and is surrounded by buttons which navigate preview images and modes, and set flash and macro settings. Image preview, self-timer/trash, and monitor mode buttons are also within reach, as is a rocker switch that zooms into or out of preview images. And it's when you turn on the Menu OK button that you will see a lot of changes.MenusWith 21 items in the Shooting menu, the range of features lurking under the hood has increased. While of course you can control typical features such as picture quality, metering pattern, drive modes, auto bracketing, flash exposure compensation and the like, there are several unusual options worth mentioning. Focus allows you to choose multi-AF (basically a wide AF target), spot AF, manual focus (controlled by turning the dial in front of the camera; feedback is on-screen), and Snap mode. Snap is essentially zone focusing: Determine a fixed distance (1, 2.5, 5 meters or infinity) and shoot away. With the lens prefocused, shutter lag is greatly reduced since much shutter lag occurs while the camera is waiting for the lens to lock on focus. It's handy for street shooters; use a small aperture for maximum depth and shoot away.Now for the way-cool part: There's an on-screen depth-of-field indicator (left)! When in Snap mode, as you change the aperture, the focus indicator (in the lower left corner of the screen) has a green bar that increases in length above and below the focal point. If your subject is within the green, it's in focus. So, at f/8, you can easily see that anything from around 1 meter to infinity will be in focus. Easy!There are several noise reduction levels, and you can control the lowest ISO where noise reduction is automatically applied. An intervalometer sets the camera to shoot at up to one-hour intervals.There are 16 adjustable custom settings, ranging from reassigning functions to different buttons to ISO, white balance and image quality settings. Once you have chosen a range of settings, assign them to one of the 3 "MY" custom settings on the control dial to lock them in. Then all you have to do is turn the dial to access that group of settings whenever you need.
Cutting edge: Sharp lens, good macro mode result in excellent close-ups when shooting at ISO 100.
Making a sceneAs mentioned before, when you turn the mode dial to Scene you can access movie-shooting mode, which lets you shoot VGA-quality video at 30fps. But things get interesting with another scene mode, DR (Dynamic Range). The camera combines two photos to create a single image with an enhanced range of tones from light to dark. This should be done with the camera mounted on a tripod. Other scene modes include Skew Correct, which corrects perspective when shooting buildings, or documents from a slight angle, and Text mode, which lets you shoot black-on-white text on a sheet of paper or a white board.On the screenThe LCD monitor provides you with a lot of information in a way that doesn't clutter up the view. A level indicator lets you know if your horizons are horizontal rather than diagonal, while a focus distance indicator comes up if the camera is not in an AF mode. The screen is moderately bright and suitable for most shooting situations but it is easily overwhelmed by bright sunlight. The optical viewfinder I prefer shooting while looking through an eye-level viewfinder—it's generally a good picture-taking practice as it helps to avoid shaky shots—and the optical GV-1 finder may be worth the extra $200 for this purpose. There are bright white border indicators that cover both 21 and 28mm viewing angles (there is a 21mm wide-angle auxiliary lens available for the camera), although for eyeglass wearers, only the 28mm framing is fully visible. Used in conjunction with Snap mode, the optical viewfinder allowed me to quickly and unobtrusively compose and shoot.PerformanceI found the GRIII to be very responsive, with virtually no lag time when using manual focus and metering and/or snap focus mode. Once you get the hang of the metering controls, it's fairly easy to change settings. However, write times were sluggish, and occasionally I had to wait a precious moment as images were written to the card before the camera would allow me to take the next shot. Ricoh could benefit from increasing buffer capacity. But overall the shooting experience with the GRIII, as with the original model, is a very satisfying one. Ready to pounce: This cat saw me and a split second after I shot this it ran away. Fast-reacting shutter let me grab the shot quickly.Image qualityThe f/1.9 lens delivers deliciously smooth transitions from in-focus to out of focus and very pleasing Bokeh (out of focus image quality). There is minor pincussion distortion and very minimal vignetting. Overall, optical performance is excellent. I was wowed by the GR III's ability to handle mixed light thanks to a unique multipattern white balance feature that segments a scene and handles the white balance in each area of the scene separately. It's a sophisticated system that actually works very well.
The GR Digital III excelled when faced with multiple light sources. Here, using multipattern Average White Balance, the incandescent-lit inside balanced well with the indirect daylight coming through the window. Image quality at ISO 64 through 100 is excellent, and very good at ISO 200, although there is some visible noise in the shadow areas. Problems arise, however, above ISO 200, where grain becomes quite pronounced. If you demand a combination of high speed and compact camera, you may want to consider the Canon G9 or either the Olympus E-P2 or Panasonic GF-1 with pancake lenses. All of these models did better in the overall image quality department.
An eye to the futureLast month, Ricoh announced the GXR (left), the first camera with interchangeable lens-and-sensor modules. One of the initial two lens/sensor configurations is a macro lens matched with an APS sensor, and yet, the camera itself seems to be built from the same basic chassis as the GR III, so we know it'll be small. It's very possible that there will be a wide angle lens/camera combo based on a larger sensor, thereby solving the GR III's image noise at high ISO problem. While that's pure speculation, it would make sense to roll out something like that rather than a GR IV that's based on the current, smaller sensor.Conclusion and recommendationI found the GR Digital III to be a fast, responsive, fun little camera that I could use in situations where a big rig would make too much noise and draw attention to the photographer. As with its predecessor, this version was enjoyable to use. I wouldn't bother buying this camera, however, unless I also got the optical viewfinder, as that allowed me to shoot less obtrusively. I also highly recommend spending some quality time with the manual and getting to know some of this camera's hidden talents, such as its three custom "My" modes, its built-in level and its multipattern white balance.Despite its uninspired high-ISO image quality (the Canon G11 trumps it in that area), the GR III delivers outstanding quality at the lower ISOs while the lens is fast enough to give you an extra stop's worth of speed to compensate. It has one of the fastest-reacting shutter releases in its category. Even with more competition, the GR Digital III offers a unique shooting experience with a combination of super responsiveness and small size that will justify its eye-opening price tag as a compact creative tool for many serious photographers.

My leaves are wonky!! HELP!
So after seeing a few posts on leaves problems... I decided to take a closer at my plants and lo and behold I got a BIG problem! I guess I was so focused on the flowers and the snails issue I failed to notice the other issues. But clearly something is going on.
Now since it has gotten hotter I have been misting the leaves so I'm wondering if that's a no-no?
Please analyze this and let me know what you think.
A scratch on my J105 leaf. There are two other leaves w/ similar markings.
There are quite a few leaves with this type of holes in them. I have noticed spiders and ants on my plants. Could they be the culprits?
Here is another plant w/ similar holes.
Then some have these strange scars... I don't know what to make of that!
Some have really weird shape!!
More weird shape and scaring.
Now I'm very concerned!
This looks like rust maybe?? But only this one from Armstrong that has it.
Here is the back of the leaf... does it still look like rust?
Last but not least... my Makaha Sunn's leaves are all curling out weird. I have not seen leaves curling like that before.
So how worried should I be right now? Thank you!
Plants that have been in greenhouses have a bit of a time adjusting to the dry, hot climate outside. Often they need to have filtered sun at first until they adjust. Also, a water drop is like a small magnifying glass and on a very hot day the sun will burn the leaf. I always mist early or in the late afternoon to avoid this problem. Makaha Sunn is a very difficult plant to grow in the mainland and often suffers from the cooler, drier climate, especially the nights. It is often better to just let a plant be because messing with them causes more stress and problems. Over fertilizing, over watering, using insect sprays on hot days can all cause this kind of stress. Go buy a cheap water meter and do not water until almost at dry. This will improve the plant health. To me the dark green leaves say greenhouse and much of this appears to be sun related stress. The hot sun from 11 to 3 can be hard until plants get adjusted. Bill
Ok so no need to freak out yet right? I won't mist until later in the day.
I do have a moisture meter and it always said wet or medium wet! So I'm wondering if the meter is wrong or the soil truly is still wet? I don't know... so I have been using the chopstick to test and I have to admit I still can't tell when I need to water or not. I guess I should leave them alone and stop fussing w/ them huh? Thank you Bill.
Would it be better to remove these leaves or just leave them on the plant?. It looks like you only have a few leaves per plant. What would be correct? I would think if you removed the disformed leaves, the plant would have more energy to produce new leaves. Barbra
there's really nothing wrong with the leaves. they are able to photosynthesize sunlight just as well as more asthetically looking leaves. its mainly a cosmetic issue. removing those leaves just means less energy your plumies are able to produce.
its a similar issue with citrus when we get leaf miners, the leaves look terrible but professionals say to not pick off the affected leaves b/c they are still able to produce energy for the tree.
Ok so it's nothing serious... then I will just leave them alone. Honestly I was so in awe of the flowers I really didn't noticed the leaves until today. I just thought it was something dreadful... but if you all think it's only cosmetics then I'm cool with that. Thank you!
Now I can focus on chasing Wildfire and a few other plants. :)

MUMBAI, February 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Rolta India Limited, a leading provider of innovative IT solutions for many vertical segments, including Federal and State Governments, Defence and Homeland Security, Utilities, Process, Power, Banking and Insurance, today announced unaudited financial results for quarter ended December 31, 2013 (Q2 FY-14).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121023/570667 )
- Consolidated Revenue for Q2 FY-14 at Rs.759.17 cr (Rs.7.59 Billion) against Rs. 627.77 cr (Rs. 6.28 Billion) in Q1 FY-14, registering a Q-o-Q growth of 20.9% and Y-o-Y growth of 44.2%.
- Consolidated EBITDA for Q2 FY-14 at Rs. 285.06 cr (Rs. 2.85 Billion) against Rs. 239.34 cr (Rs. 2.39 Billion) in Q1 FY-14, registering a Q-o-Q growth of 19.1% and Y-o-Y growth of 32.5%.
- Consolidated Profit after Tax for Q2 FY-14 at Rs. 74.61 cr (Rs. 0.75 Billion) against Rs. 70.26 cr (Rs. 0.70 Billion) in Q1 FY-14, registering a Q-o-Q growth of 6.2% and Y-o-Y growth of 6.0%.
- Consolidated Revenue for six months FY-14 at Rs. 1,386.94 cr (Rs.13.87 Billion) against Rs. 996.62 cr (Rs. 9.97 Billion) in FY-13, registering a Y-o-Y growth of 39.2%.
- Consolidated EBITDA for six months FY-14 at Rs. 524.40 cr (Rs. 5.24 Billion) against Rs. 427.69 cr (Rs. 4.28 Billion) in FY-13, registering a Y-o-Y growth of 22.6%.
- Consolidated Profit after Tax for six months FY-14 at Rs. 144.87 cr (Rs. 1.45 Billion) against Rs. 133.60 cr (Rs. 1.34 Billion) in FY-13, registering a Y-o-Y growth of 8.4%.
- The Company had adopted July 1 to June 30 Financial Year as its accounting practice. The Companies Act 2013 has now prescribed a uniform Financial Year ending March 31 for all Indian Companies. The Company's Board of Directors has, therefore, decided to end the current financial year on March 31, 2014 (instead of June 30, 2014). Therefore, the current financial year will be for a period of nine months up to March 31, 2014. Subsequent financial years shall commence on April 1 and conclude on March 31.
Commenting on the results, Mr. K. K. Singh, Chairman and Managing Director said, "We are very pleased with the progress we are making in monetizing our investments in creating an IP-led business. We are now getting much larger orders, including repeat business from existing customers. These represent an expansion of the Company's footprint within customers' IT landscape, and include IP and annuity revenues, with on-going engagements for managed services."
The Company announced that its Promoters increased their share holding in the Company from around 40% to over 50% through creeping acquisitions over the last three years. The Promoters continue to increase their holdings further through creeping acquisitions in line with SEBI guidelines. This is evidence of the confidence that the Promoters have in the business model of the Company, the superiority of its offerings, and the growth potential of the Company.
Rolta's products and solutions are receiving increasing attention from industry analysts. Rolta OneView™ was positioned by NASSCOM/Frost & Sullivan in the top right "Exemplars" quadrant in their Product Excellence Matrix ("PEM") for Analytics products in their report published in November 2013. Exemplars are defined as: "…vendors that have a well-defined growth strategy and successful execution plan". In a second PEM that reflects the market focus from "narrow" to "wide", and level of maturity in the market from "entry" level to "established", Rolta OneView™ was once again placed in the top right quadrant, conveying that it is an established product with wide applicability in many vertical segments.
Rolta's strategic partnership with SAP announced in this quarter is a noteworthy development not only because it is another testimonial of the Company's differentiated offerings for Business Intelligence (BI), Big Data and Analytics, but also for the scope of the alliance. Under the agreement, Rolta will provide customers across the world with cutting-edge solutions designed to exploit the power of SAP technology by combining Rolta's products with almost the complete database and technology portfolio offered by SAP. This effectively enables Rolta to sell SAP products cost-effectively, bundled with its own IP anywhere across the world without having to depend on SAP's distribution channels.
On the other hand, Rolta is working with SAP to have Rolta OneView™ included in their "Preferred Partner Solution" program as a precursor to its inclusion in the SAP global price-book. This will enable SAP's global sales force to sell the Rolta solution, which will dramatically increase the market penetration of Rolta OneView™ as it will reach SAP's 250,000+ customers.
Rolta has transformed its data center to a world-class private Cloud infrastructure with 100% virtualization. Besides providing scalability and agility to Rolta's own organization, it is also used for delivering Rolta solutions and IP on the Cloud. Rolta is working to make Rolta OneView™ and its many other solutions available on SaaS (software as a service) model by leveraging Rolta GeoCloud™.
Rolta continues to win projects in the areas of Geospatial, Engineering, IT and Defence & Security, even more so when it is able to combine its strengths in these areas. This is true for all geographical regions, vindicating Rolta's strategy of offering preconfigured but customized solutions that leverage Rolta's deep domain knowledge, its intellectual property, IT expertise and industry focus. Rolta has strengthened its position in significant industry segments like Banking, Finance, Insurance, Manufacturing, Retail and Healthcare, apart from the traditional Rolta segments like, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Government, Infrastructure, and Defense & Security, where it remains strong. The pipeline is, therefore, steadily undergoing a qualitative improvement, with larger, more sophisticated projects and greater contribution from Rolta IP.
Defense and Homeland Security:
In the Defence and Homeland Security (HLS) sector, the Company has continued to strengthen its leadership.
For example, Rolta is one of the few companies who have been invited to respond to the largest C2 defence 'Make India' program being undertaken by the Indian Army (estimated to be worth over Rs. 30,000 Crores / $ 5.0 Bn). With its incumbent software provider status, state-of-the-art indigenous GIS and C2 software that has been deployed and proven operationally at various field formations and cutting-edge communication solutions, Rolta is in an exceptional position to address this project. In fact, some of the world's leading defence contractors have approached Rolta to not only partner the Company for this program but to also source Rolta software and solutions for their global projects.
Major HLS organizations have continued to repose confidence in Rolta's offerings with even more police forces in different cities/states, like Mumbai, Chandigarh, UP and Maharashtra finalizing on the Company's sophisticated solutions.
Enterprise Geospatial and Engineering Solutions:
Rolta continues to win projects for Engineering Information Management from various verticals within the process industry. These include assignments for as-built modeling to create repositories of validated data that serve as the foundation for enterprise level BI and Analytics.
Similarly, the Company continues to make significant inroads with its geospatial solutions. The Company won a prestigious $25M+ project for 3D city modeling from Abu Dhabi City Municipality. This is an ambitious project designed to fulfill the challenges of sophisticated analysis and simulation for town planning, infrastructure development, environmental management, homeland security and emergency response. Rolta will leverage its Geospatial Fusion™ solution framework and various special-purpose software tools.
Rolta is seeing increased traction in the area of 3D modeling, with focus shifting towards building a mapping infrastructure that can help to improve citizen services, including safety and security. There are many municipal and government bodies actively pursuing similar approaches. In fact, Rolta has already received another order for 3D City modeling in Saudi valued at $4M+. Similarly, another example is an innovative solution for a 3D Soil Mapping system built on the Rolta Geospatial Fusion™ platform in Dubai, which incorporates predictive analytics and 3D visualization capabilities. As an early mover in this complex field with a proven track record, Rolta is well placed to get significant business from other customers in in this specialized segment worth hundreds of millions dollars.
Rolta won a prestigious contract from Saudi's General Commission for Survey valued at over $2.2 M for developing a geospatial web-based fully bilingual portal for distribution of spatial data to various stake-holders. The Company deployed Rolta Geospatial Fusion™ framework, which will now be leveraged to also provide executive dashboards for business and spatial analytics.
Business Intelligence, Big Data and Analytics
Rolta has achieved a position of eminence in BI and Big data Analytics with some prestigious wins. This is an area of IT that is rated as the top priority for CIOs and is attracting big investments. With some very unique IP that has received industry acclaim, such as Rolta OneView™, Rolta iPerspective™, Rolta GeoBI™, and many other suites, Rolta offers innovative approaches to implementing BI and Analytics. For example, Rolta has architected and developed a Big Data Analytics solution with Rolta OneView™ and SAP HANA for asset integrity and performance management for a large process manufacturing company with multiple production sites across the world.
Rolta is experiencing very good traction for its differentiated BI and Analytics solutions in various geographies and many vertical segments. For example, the Company is leveraging Rolta GeoBI™ framework to deliver a location-aware analytics solution for a major Electric Utility company in the US. For a US company in the Healthcare vertical, Rolta is implementing an Enterprise-level BI solution. For a major chemical company in Qatar, Rolta was engaged to define their BI and Big data Analytics solution for an ambitious enterprise-wide project. A similar project has also been awarded by an Oil company in Oman.
IT Consulting and Managed Services
Rolta continues to expand its Consulting & Managed Services engagements, thereby increasing annuity revenues from long-term contracts. An example of success in this practice area is a customer in the US who has entrusted on-going management of their mission-critical SAP ERP implementation which supports transactions pertaining to over 5 million products in their portfolio.
Similarly, many other customers have retained Rolta to manage their complex IT Infrastructure, databases and enterprise applications. Examples include customers in the Oil & Gas, Utilities, Retail and Manufacturing sectors. In all cases, Rolta leverages its IP and domain expertise.
In India, Rolta has won a prestigious World Bank funded contract from Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society for delivering a micro-financing solution. Rolta e-Governance™ Solution is being implemented on Oracles ERP platform. Such projects are expected to be replicated by 24 States with WB funding.
About Rolta: Rolta is a leading provider of innovative IT solutions for many vertical segments, including Federal and State Governments, Defense/HLS, Utilities, Process, Power, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Retail, and Healthcare. By uniquely combining its expertise in the IT, Engineering and Geospatial domains, Rolta develops exceptional solutions for these segments. The Company leverages its industry-specific know-how, rich repository of intellectual property that spans photogrammetry, image processing, geospatial applications, business intelligence, analytics, field-proven solution frameworks, and deep expertise in cutting-edge technologies like Geo BI, Analytics, Cloud computing, Software Defined Infrastructure and Big Data for providing sophisticated enterprise-level integrated solutions. Rolta is a multinational organization headquartered in India. The Company operates from 40 locations worldwide through its subsidiaries, and has executed projects in over 45 countries.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Boxer Boston
Very poor survice
Stayed at the Bulfinch for 3 days, and had several problems. Spoke with hotel staff, who stated parking rate was $10/day..arrived to hear it was $25/day. Was advised restaurant would be in operation upon arrival date-it was not....told gym was operable....it was not...informed there was a continental breakfast included (and informed of contents of such)...arrived at hotel to find out that was not the case. Newspaper for tourist information was to be delivered to the door each morning, it was not (stated in print, in the room that was the case), cleaning service was not done 2/3 days we were there and had to call down to front desk for towels and toilet paper several times. On last day of departure, service desk gave directions and stapled, ended up lost for 3h at approx 13h driving mark as pages had not been placed in correct order, got caught in storm due to timing of being lost and had to stay at another hotel for safety purposes.
Spoke with supervisor once who initially stated "all I can offer you is an appology" and after further pushing, gave a small credit amount. Once home, I called hotel to display dis-satisfaction with overall stay, including last issue, staff were very rude and un-sympathetic to situation, advising me their staff know what they;re doing and would never advise such things as stated above.
Room are way too small! I have stayed at many hotels, for many years and have never complained, this place is not worth the money for small rooms, poor service and managers who cannot take responsibility for their staff. Stay somewhere else, you'll have a much more pleasant trip
I find it hard for the hotel staff to take responsibility for printing map quest directions as a courtesy for the guest, stapled them (pages are numbered) and the guest to hold the hotel responsible for getting lost.
After speaking to the guest again I could only apologize once again for the items that did not meet their expectations while they were here and was under the assumption we had come to a fair agreement.
Great new hotel
Hotel is brand new, so everything is in great shape. The room was very clean, nice, and new. The size of the room was not that big, but it was not unusually small. Based on previous reviews, I thought my room would be the size of a closet, but it was not bad. The TV did not have the annoying pitch to buy TV movies that is common in most hotels. The high-speed Internet connection is free and easy-to-use, and they even provided a cable that reached to the bed. I stayed in Room 801, which is configured for a handicapped person.
The only possible negative is that the shower, which makes up the rightmost one-third of of the voluminous bathroom, is basically a showerhead and a shower curtain. This means that it can get water on the floor rather easily, as a bit leaks from under the curtain. The staff was very friendly, and they gave me directions to several places. The room was extremely cold when I arrived, so I suggest that you call from the airport and tell them to turn on the heat before you arrive, if it is the wintertime.
The restaurant is supposed to open in a month or so.
"Boston's Best in the Bulfinch"
I stayed at the Bulfinch and loved it.
It's location is perfect for both business and pleasure. The building boasts character before even entering. Comfortable new interiors in an old Boston building. Modern guest rooms include high-speed internet, the finest of furnishings, marble bath and walk in showers.
Staff was very friendly, courtious and informative.
Convenient for downtown business and shopping at Quincy Marketplace.
I look forward to staying at the Bulfinch whenever in the Boston area.
WOW, Exceeded Expectations
Had my doubts, since the restaurant was not open yet, but the view is great, rooms are small, but very thoughtfully furnished with everything you need, Loved the marble bathroom, nice touch.
I highly reccommend and will definately return.
Modern and Cozy!
I live in Boston but stayed at the Bulfinch when my parents were in town b/c it's near my apartment in Beacon Hill. The hotel is in an awesome location if youre a sports nut - very near the Fleet Center and Canal Street. It's also minutes away from Faneuil Hall and the T. The building is architecturally quirky - a mini Flat Iron building, but the inside is warm and cozy. Perfect for a New England winter night. The only bummer was that the restaurant is not yet open (my only reason for 4 stars rather than 5), but once it is I wouldn't be able to say anything negative! The staff is awesome, very down to earth and not at all 'Boston rude' to my Southern parents. I highly recommend the Bulfinch and my parents will stay there everytime they visit the city!
Cool New Hotel -- Good Value!
We stayed at the Bulfinch and really liked it. Brand new modern interiors in an old historic building. Had a comfortable atmosphere. Decent sized rooms have marble bathrooms and walk in marble showers. Good location close to quincy market. Parking right next door for $18/day. Free high speed internet in room. Restaurant not open 'til December but other places to eat nearby. Very reasonable price too (less than $200). We definitely will go back to the Bulfinch.
Clarion Collection Bulfinch disappointing
I stayed 2 nights in one of the suites and was a little tentative based on some comments made in the forum. The place is in a nice location. no onsite parking. The re-modeling has been completed, but everything about the place is small. The bathroom showers; only have room for 1 person and our shower had a handicapped bench that was very cumbersome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the suite and paid around 200 a night. Next time, I'd look for something bigger.
Try a different hotel for now.
This hotel offers little and charges much. It has no amenities, ie., no restaurant, no fitness center, no business center, no parking, and no airport shuttles. The elevator broke twice during a weekend stay. The rooms are cubicle sized. My room had neither a full-length mirror nor a bathtub, just a shower. Good points: location, I guess. And the bed was comfortable. Ostensibly, they are going to add a restaurant, fitness center, etc, but right now, their advertising boasts about how much they offer when the reality is otherwise. For me, paying $199 nightly for something barely better than a dorm room hurts.
Not much to offer
My wife had a conference in boston and I tagged along. The Clarion Bulfinch was still under construction with amenities advertised not available. There is no parking. The front desk directed us to a public parking garage at $28 a day. All parking in boston is metered with a two hour limit. Exceed this time or risk parking in a no parking zone will cost you a $75 ticket. The fitness center was not available. The front desk said for $15 a health club down the street had a deal with the hotel. If you jog your at risk as there are many highways in the area. To get ice you must bring your ice bucket to the front desk. There are no resturants in this hotel but plenty of plces to eat nearby. The room was brand new but small with a king bed and shower only. The staff were very friendly. The rate $199 per night was high considering all you got was a room. In a pinch this place is OK but I would look for another hotel if we went again.

pretty fast, decent ssd, great screen, quiet. local repair shop can do warranty work, company is responsive to calls
at thirty days it overheated once, crashed, then never came back on. Its in the shop. Soldered on GRX card is an issue since its this card that overheats and renders the laptop "powerless" and useless. No warnings or blips, just instant dead with no backup. Lid only opens to 145 degrees so it does not sit on a stand properly, needs to sit flat.
Other Thoughts:
If you plan on power computing it looks like you are in for a lot of downtime due to frying electronics and long repair times. You will eventually run out of warranty and game over. NOT a choice for secure computing, business computing, or gaming for sure (whats left?). As Buster Poindexter said she runs too HOT HOT HOT.

MUMBAI: Ravi Mallesh Dilip Bora alias DK Rao, a dreaded aide of fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan was arrested last week for threatening a Borivli based builder and demanding an extortion sum of Rs 5 crores.
Rao was picked up from Taloja jail where he was already serving jail in connection with two other cases of extortion and charges of murder of Iqbal Kaskar's driver Sayyed Bilal in 2011.
The city crime branch early this month registered a fresh case of threatening and extortion against fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan and his aide Ravi alias DK Rao on the complaints of builder Ramesh Chandani from Borivli. According to the police, Chandani had brought a peice of land in 1968 but there were reports that there was some civil dispute pending in the court. Chhota Rajan recently called up Chandani and threatened to either settle the matter or pay a sum of Rs 5 crores as protection.
Joint commissioner of police Himanshu Roy said that Rao twice called Chandani twice thrice to session court on certain dates when he was likely to be brought to court. When Chandani didnot respond to his calls Rao send his men at his residence and threatened with dire consequences. Rao's men started calling Chandani and threatening.

Holmen village officials could hear next week about what level of fluoride in tap water is officially preferred by the Wisconsin health department. Public works director Dean Olson says the unofficial word is that fluoride levels will be lowered...so a temporary fluoridation shutdown ordered in Holmen could be reversed.
In April of last year, newly-elected board members in Holmen voted to suspend fluoridation, just days after it was started as the result of a 2008 referendum. That vote followed a federal EPA report calling for reduced fluoride in water systems.
