<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #20124d;">Capsule CRM is another lightweight and user friendly CRM application. Its free version provides very basic CRM functionalities with 2 free user accounts and 10 MB file storage. Beside CRM functionalities like contact management, opportunity management or task management, it has an unique feature called List. List uses filtering criteria based upon any possible options in CRM like name, updated on, type or status to group similar kind of contacts or opportunities or cases. With CRM object navigation bar at the top, there is a text link bar as well to bookmark contacts, cases or opportunities that you have accessed recently. Though it has good integration capability with other third party applications, free version has very limited integration features. Another drawback with free plan is that it allows to store only 250 contacts with unlimited opportunities and unlimited cases.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #20124d;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #20124d;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Free account limitations:</span></span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #20124d;">2 free users</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #20124d;">10 MB storage</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #20124d;">250 contacts with unlimited opportunities and cases</span></div>

media is all about connection and networking, but it's also distraction
and procrastination in their finest, pixelated forms. <br /><br />Help your team use social media productively with these tips. <br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7380/8716178557_dd5fee6f9d.jpg" />Define the End Goals for Social Media Use <br /><br />Who's doing what, and why? <br /><br />Social
media professionals know that without clear goals, social media use
becomes a chaotic mess of button-clicking and key-tapping. You have to
know what you're attempting in order to know if you're getting close. <br /><br />What are the end goals for social media in your business and for your team? <br /><br />Define
these and you are giving your team members a way to quickly determine
if their use of social media is helping to reach those goals. <br /><br />Discuss Limits for Social Media Use <br /><br />Defining
goals and assigning roles will help your team members know how to use
social media in a productive way... that is, in a way that is helping
them to reach those goals. <br /><br />For some, social media use is great
for a few minutes in the morning and in the afternoon, for a couple of
status updates a day, for a distraction on break time or for those
five-minute intervals in between meetings. <br /><br />For others, social
media may require more intensive time and input: a few hours crafting
updates, researching analytics, finding or creating great content to
share. <br /><br />Discuss how the over-arching goals - and each person's
role in helping reach those goals - necessitate different limits on
social media for each person. Then ask your team members to set their
own limits, as appropriate. <br /><br />Encourage Real Breaks <br /><br /><a href="https://open.bufferapp.com/science-taking-breaks-at-work/">Taking regular breaks is actually great for productivity.</a>
But a ten-minute break of browsing Facebook doesn't come with the same
mental and physical payback of a ten-minute brisk walk outside, or chat
and cup of tea with a coworker. <br /><br />However, our social norms and
work environments often surreptitiously encourage the wrong kind of
break: the social media, mind-numbing kind. It's easy to pull up a new
tab and idle away five minutes, and no one looks unproductive because
they're still staring at their computers. <br /><br />But leaving the office to go for a ten-minute walk? <br />Asking a coworker to step down to the lobby for a cuppa and quick chat? <br /><br />That's
not easy to "get away with." You can't disguise that sort of behavior
as real work, the way you can with social media binging. <br /><br />The answer is to encourage real breaks instead of making your people feel like they need to pull them off on the sly. <br /><br />Education over Enforcement <br /><br />You can make all sorts of rules about social media, and some of them might be really great rules. Really effective. <br /><br />Knowledge is the real power, though, and educating people works a lot better than enforcing rules. <br /><br />You
don't want to waste time having endless round-table discussions about
social media and its effect on our productivity. You do want to help
your team understand how social media can be either a powerful tool or a
deadly distraction, based on their use. <br /><br />To help educate your team, you can <br /><br />share articles, studies, and data <br />ask for their own insight and experience <br />talk about apps and extensions that streamline social media <br />set up reminders of social media goals <br />continue to encourage real breaks <br />call in a professional to teach techniques for social media use <br />find the expert on your team and ask for help. <br /><br />The Habit of Asking <br /><br />One
small but powerful habit can help your team more than anything else.
It's a simple question that each person asks and then answers: <br /><br />"What am I doing right now?" <br /><br />It's
the question to ask anytime someone wakes up mindlessly surfing the
Internet, scrolling through Facebook, lost in Reddit or Twitter. It's
the question to ask when one project or task is over and people are
hanging out in that dangerous dead space before the next project begins.
<br /><br />"What am I doing right now?" is a simple but powerful question when asked and then answered, immediately and honestly. <br /><br /><br />"I'm looking at pictures of other people's lives."<br />"I'm reading stupid articles about celebrities."<br />"I'm searching for a good joke to share."<br />"I'm trying out photo filters."<br />"I'm trying to think of a clever status update." <br /><br />When your people learn to ask and answer that question, they can't ignore what they're doing. Or not doing. <br /><br />In some cases, what they are doing is perfectly legitimate, and they can feel good about that: <br /><br />"I'm posting my daily update to our company Facebook page."<br />"I'm sharing news from the conference I attended."<br />"I'm live-tweeting this event."<br />"I'm editing product photos."<br />"I'm finding great content to share with our followers." <br /><br />When
you and your whole team know what the social media goals are and get in
the habit of thinking about how to use social media well, you get
productive social media use. <br /><br />That's an update worth sharing. <br /><br /><b>Bitrix24 is a <a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/prices/">free total team management platform</a> .

not email was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype">Skype</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropbox_%28service%29">Dropbox</a>. So it’s natural that a many small
companies depend on these consumer-facing services for their operations.
At first glance, it seems like no big deal to conscript a consumer
service into the business world, but there are several side effects
which Bitrix24 eliminates while providing a superior service.
<br />
<br />

<br />
As you probably know, the document library in Bitrix24 is extremely
powerful, allowing <a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/features/docs.php">flexible
sharing, direct editing, workflow and approvals, commenting, liking,
automatic versioning, previews, and creation of external download links</a>, among many other features.
Furthermore, users of the free service art provided with a generous 5Gb
of space from the start.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="cut"></a>

</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #00aeef;">Sharing and access – the key function. </span>
<br />
<br />
Bitrx24 document libraries let you share with any subset of users
inside your Bitrix24 intranet and create external links for anyone
outside.
<br />
<br />
Beyond sharing, a highly desirable feature is file sync, which means
that a local version of your files is stored on your own computer, and
<a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/features/mobile-and-desktop-apps.php">changes in the documents are synchronized with the server</a> (Dropbox or
Bitrix24) whenever they are made. The main plus for this is that users
can work while offline (on a plane, for example) and have their files
upd ate the server when they get back online automatically, without any
hassle. Bitrix24’s desktop app features the Bitrix24.Drive, which offers
this service.
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<img alt="998ffa084ad7cc057ebbda5ea48efc79.png" border="0" data-bx-image="http://d57439wlqx3vo.cloudfront.net/main/977/9777b3773e2b201e21cbf1098655c0fa/998ffa084ad7cc057ebbda5ea48efc79.png" height="255" src="http://d57439wlqx3vo.cloudfront.net/resize_cache/13753/04dbd6b4c314fe48f655aad84339ad15/main/977/9777b3773e2b201e21cbf1098655c0fa/998ffa084ad7cc057ebbda5ea48efc79.png" title="" width="400" /></div>
<br />
Bitrix24.Drive sets up access to the personal files section of
Bitrix24 in your Windows Explorer or other file manager. Note that this
is a completely different function from the Network Drive*. <span style="font-size: 60%;">
<br />
<br /><span style="color: #b7b7b7;">*The Network Drive button , visible in
any document library in Bitrix24, sets up a live connection to a give
document library (or libraries). This is a live access bridge that lets
you represent a library in your local file manager, but if the user is
not online and logged in, it will be inaccessible. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00aeef;">
<br />Increased functionality: </span>
<br />
<br />
There are several advantages to using Bitrix24 and the accompanying
Bitrix24.Drive as your business document repository instead of separate
solutions such as Dropbox. Firstly, Bitrix24 offers vastly more
functionality in the document library: approvals, workflow, discussion
threads and versioning and a whole lot more for each document.
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00aeef;">Ease of management:</span>
<br />
<br />
Bitrix24 users can access documents according to the department in
which they work and the projects which they are involved in, so when a
new user is brought in, access permissions are immediately granted.
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00aeef;"><a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/security/">Security</a>:
</span>
<br />
Each Bitrix24 instance belongs to the company that runs it. Each
user profile is under control of the Administrator(s) of that company. A
consequent advantage is that personal and business files do not get
mixed together. In the event that a user is unexpectedly unavailable,
files can be accessed by your company’s intranet administrator.
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00aeef;">Integration:
</span>
<br />
By using Bitrix24 for your organization’s documents, you can benefit
from tight integration with the other parts of the system: <a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/features/index.php">social network</a>, notifications, subscription, <a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/about/blogs/alexreznor/using-business-processes-for-document-approval.php">workflow</a>, <a href="http://www.bitrix24.com/features/tasks.php">tasks, and project groups</a>. For example, if a document is subject to approval, the workflow
will notify the proper supervisor, and if that person is absence, it can
find the next person in line by moving up the company structure.
<br />
<br />
Bitrix24.Drive and the document library present an free alternative
to Dropbox and other consumer-facing file storage services that is not
only more secure for business, but also more robust in functionality.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://docsilove.blogspot.com/2013/11/100-percent-white-british-neo-nazi.html"><cite>100% White</cite> </a>(Channel 4, tx. 17/7/2000), winner of the
Best Documentary BAFTA in 2000, is a powerful portrait of men trapped on
the margins of society. <cite class="party">Leo Regan</cite>'s
subjects, Colin, Neil and Nick, may have left their neo-Nazi gang
behind, but shedding their own fear, hatred and violence is a far harder
task.<br />
Former leader Neil, who describes stabbing someone as "too easy, like
getting butter out of a tub", now seeks counselling to control his
violent tendencies. Colin left the gang because "you've got to look
after your family before you can sort out your country", but
demonstrates his paternalism by assaulting his wife and forbidding his
children to have black schoolfriends. Nick has befriended a black man
but still "can't get on with Asians." All three miss the camaraderie of
the gang, the powerful identity and sense of belonging now so patently
absent from their lives.<br />
<br />
Like <cite class="party">Alan Clarke</cite>'s groundbreaking drama <cite>Made in Britain</cite> (ITV, 10/7/1983), <cite class="party">Regan</cite>
achieves the difficult task of humanising men whose views and actions
are both reprehensible and frightening. At the same time, he never lets
his subjects off the hook, challenging them even at personal risk. His
only weapon, and best defence, is a disarming openness, which extends
from subject to form.<br />
<br />
Unlike traditional 'observational' documentaries, where the film-maker remains hidden behind a veil of so-called 'objectivity', <cite class="party">Regan</cite>
throws himself into the situation as an active participant, offering
his opinions and leaving his questions on the soundtrack. As the effects
of filming are foregrounded (particularly the way <cite class="party">Regan</cite>'s presence influences Colin's wife Karla, and Neil's girlfriend Charlene) <cite>100% White</cite>

Former Baltimore City homicide detective Kelvin Sewell has seen it all.
Gang members <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1463534809/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1463534809&linkCode=as2&tag=deprice-20">burned alive</a>; a baby unceremoniously stuffed into the
ground by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1463534809/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1463534809&linkCode=as2&tag=deprice-20">its own mother</a>; a sex offender who killed a child in a
delusional jealous rage. The constant grind of bearing witness to
violent death has given Sewell an unprecedented perspective into the
minds of killers. He sat in the Baltimore Police Department’s
interview room with 14-year-old Devon Richardson as the teen tried to
explain why he shot a woman he didn’t know in the back of the head. He
watched the father of 17-year-old Nicole Edmonds cry over the corpse of
his dead daughter, murdered for a cellphone.<br />
<br />
But now for the first
time Sewell has decided to share the insights and the pain, the
dehumanizing effects of crime and waves of psychic despair and social
dysfunction in his groundbreaking book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1463534809/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1463534809&linkCode=as2&tag=deprice-20">Why Do We Kill</a>? “I think
people deserve to know the truth,” said Sewell, a 20-year veteran of
Baltimore City’s police department. “They need to get a sense of why
people kill in Baltimore. “I want people to see what we see as
detectives,” he explained. “I think there are misconceptions about
crime in Baltimore, and I hope this book will clear them up.”<br />
<br />
The
book recounts some of the most notorious homicide cases in Baltimore in
the past decade, all told from the perspective of the cop who worked
them. Joining forces with Sewell is award-winning investigative
reporter Stephen Janis, who covered City Hall for the now-defunct
Baltimore Examiner and is founder of the award-winning news website
Investigative Voice. “What makes this book different is the
collaborative voice,” said Janis. “Kelvin would discuss his thoughts on
the cases and I then tried to tell the story by adding the context that
comes naturally with being a reporter.” Janis’s colleague at
Investigative Voice, reporter and political scientist Alan Z. Forman,
served as editor for the project. Janis is no stranger to the
Baltimore crime scene, winning a string of prestigious awards for his
crime reporting, including two consecutive Maryland-Delaware-DC Press
Association awards in Category A for his series on the murders of sex
workers and his investigation into the high number of unsolved killings
in Baltimore.<br />

Ruschlikon is a village in Switzerland with a very low tax rate and very
wealthy residents. There is so much money in the public coffers that
mayor can't spend it all, largely thanks to the contribution from one
resident - Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of commodities giant Glencore. However,
Glencore's copper mines in Zambia don't generate similar tax windfalls
for Zambians. The country has the third largest copper reserves in the
world, but 60 per cent of the population live on less than $1 a day and
80 per cent are unemployed. Christoffer Guldbrandsen investigates the
dark heart of the tax system employed by multi-nationals and asks how
much profit is fair.<br />
<br />
A BBC Storyville film, produced in
partnership with the Open University, Stealing Africa screens as part of
Why Poverty? - when the BBC, in conjunction with more than 70
broadcasters around the world, hosts a debate about contemporary
poverty. The global cross-media event sees the same eight films screened
in 180 countries to explore why, in the 21st Century, a billion people
still live in poverty.<br />
<br />
Zambia's copper resources have not made
the country rich. Virtually all Zambia's copper mines are owned by
corporations. In the last ten years, they've extracted copper worth $29
billion but Zambia is still ranked one of the twenty poorest countries
in the world.<br />
<br />
So why hasn't copper wealth reduced poverty in
Zambia? Once again it comes down to the issue of tax, or in Zambia's
case, tax avoidance and the use of tax havens.<br />
Tax avoidance by
corporations costs poor countries and estimated $160 billion a year,
almost double what they receive in international aid. That's enough to
save the lives of 350,000 children aged five or under every year.<br />
<br />
For
every $1 given in aid to a poor country, $10 drains out. Vital money
that could help a poor country pay for healthcare, schools, pensions and
infrastructure. Money that would make them less reliant on aid.<br />

Medea Benjamin provides the first extensive analysis of who is producing the drones, where they are being used, who pilots these unmanned planes, and what are the legal and moral implications.<br />

In vivid, readable style, the book also looks at what activists, lawyers, and scientists across the globe are doing to ground these weapons.

Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: 2011 caught the world off guard with a series of shattering events. While protesters in New York, Cairo, London, and Athens took to the streets in pursuit of emancipation, obscure destructive fantasies inspired the world’s racist populists in places as far apart as Hungary and Arizona, achieving a horrific consummation in the actions of mass murderer Anders Breivik.<br />
<br />
The subterranean work of dissatisfaction continues. Rage is building, and a new wave of revolts and disturbances will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 augur a new political reality. These are limited, distorted—sometimes even perverted—fragments of a utopian future lying dormant in the present./<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1781680426/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=deprice-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1781680426" id="static_txt_preview" target="_blank">The Year of Dreaming Dangerously</a>/ UncommonBusinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266442860402279245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972122175604233510.post-33569081260312950042012-12-23T02:52:00.001-08:002012-12-23T02:52:52.495-08:00Jack Unterweger Documentary <object height="360" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y8Hxs0f0fII?hl=en_US&version=3"></param>

Johann "Jack" Unterweger (16 August 1950 – 29 June 1994) was an Austrian serial killer who murdered prostitutes
in several countries. First convicted of a 1974 murder, he was released
in 1990 due in part to a campaign by intellectuals and politicians, who
regarded Unterweger as an example of rehabilitation. He became a journalist and minor celebrity, but within months started killing again. He committed suicide following a conviction for several murders /<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0374148457/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=deprice-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0374148457" id="static_txt_preview" target="_blank">Entering Hades: The Double Life of a Serial Killer</a>/UncommonBusinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266442860402279245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972122175604233510.post-56030362845691600862012-12-23T02:45:00.000-08:002012-12-23T02:45:12.544-08:00Inside the Saudi Kingdom (BBC Documentary) <object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/au9Aqd_-2hc?version=3&hl=en_US"></param>

Like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042EJDGM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0042EJDGM&linkCode=as2&tag=deprice-20">Which Way Home</a>, the documentary that tracks impoverished Latin American kids precariously train-hopping up to America, director Lixin Fan's cinéma vérité-style documentary Last Train Home also uses trains--this time in China--as a metaphor delineating class to promote viewer understanding of social hardship.<br />
<br />
Last Train Home tracks the Zhang family, opening with scenes in a clothing warehouse where married couple Changhua Zhang and Chen Sugin work assiduously to support, one discovers through interview footage, their two children living over 1,000 kilometers away. Cut to a rural village, where Zhang's two kids, teenage girl Qin Zhang and her younger brother Yang, pine for the city while their elderly grandmother cares for them. This story of parents arguably forced to leave behind their two infant children serves as a microcosmic example of what is happening to 130 million migrant workers throughout China, and the film chronicles familial efforts to acquire train tickets out of the cities to celebrate the Chinese New Year rurally with relatives.<br />
<br />
Between takes filming various Zhang family members, shots of the insanely overcrowded Guangzhou train station make the documentary more politically tense, as massive crowds explode with rage and exhaustion trying to fight for tickets then board packed trains for sweaty rides home. As much as Last Train Home chronicles the Zhang parents toiling behind sewing machines or washing their feet in the cubby they call living quarters, while their kids back home pick corn and otherwise work a small garden, the film is obviously about the larger issue surrounding split families and lack of income among China's rural working poor.<br />
<br />
The film is beautifully shot, maintaining its respect and sensitivity towards its subjects throughout, though it's careful not to glamorize with slick scenic footage what is far from a glamorous cultural problem. Heated familial arguments break out, as Qin decides against her parents' will to forge ahead with an urban warehouse career of her own, and one may come away with a sense of despondence for the overwhelming amount of difficulty the documentary's subjects experience daily. But like any of the finest sociopolitical films, Last Train Home presents a gray scale between the black and white of its topical coverage, with several charming and funny moments, proving that the resiliency of the Zhang family can, too, act as stand-in for how millions of others undoubtedly roll with the punches.<br />

Ugandans are the hardest drinking Africans in the motherland, both in
terms of per capita consumption and the hooch they choose to chug.
Waregi, or "war gin," is what they call the local moonshine, and it
makes the harshest Appalachian rotgut taste like freaking Bailey's.<br />

Alexander Sasha Shulgin is the scientist behind more than 200 psychedelic compounds including MDMA, more commonly known as Ecstasy. Considered to be one of the greatest chemists of the 20th century, Sasha's vast array of discoveries have had a profound impact in the field of psychedelic research, making him a subject of fascination and controversy among fellow scientists and a folk hero to recreational users of psychedelics.
Dirty Pictures uncovers the lifework of Dr. Shulgin and takes viewers inside his Northern California home where he lives with his wife of 40 years and continues to carry out experiments in a makeshift laboratory. Director Étienne Sauret likewise delves into the broader world of psychedelic research where the fields of chemistry, neuroscience and philosophy intersect and investigates whether or not this particular field could aid in solving the deepest mysteries of the human mind.UncommonBusinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266442860402279245noreply@blogger.com0
