Houston Pest Control

If you live in Houston, Texas, and faced with cockroach problems, then worry not. There is a houston cockroaches expert that you could contact at Bulls Eye Pest Control. I read about their successes and I am happy for their clients. At the same time, I am grateful that I am not bogged with pest problems!

I feel that people in Houston are lucky. Even if their homes may be invaded by pests, at least they have easy excess to experts, with years of experience in handling homes infested with cockroaches or other pests. They have custom plans for different homes to make sure that all affected homes are combed through thoroughly.

‘No’ As the Default Choice In Facebook Information Sharing

The Federal Trade Commission is said to be on the verge of signing an agreement with Facebook, which will soon see the company make “No” the default choice for any Facebook request to access, publish or resell any additional information of users.

During the past few years, particularly after every change to Facebook, the social media website had gotten flak from users for over sharing their information, without even being aware of it. This agreement reportedly will last 20 years but honestly, will a social media website last that long? That remains to be seen.

Actos

I have written about actos a long time ago, the oral medication that is prescribed for diabetes, but is said to increase the risk of patients getting serious heart problems like heart attack and heart failure, if not bladder cancer! After so many months, the actos lawsuit is still not settled yet.

If are diabetic, you should check with your doctor if you have been prescribed with actos. You don’t want any surprises, do you? But if you had a heart attack, or are suffering from heart failure, or worse, bladder cancer, and know that you were prescribed with actos, which comes in various names like ActoplusMet, Competact and Duetact, then know that you may be entitled to compensation. Contact an actos lawyer about your case.

Gmail Revamped

Over the next few days, all Gmail users will be able to switch to a new look. We can, however, opt to go back to the current view if we want to, but I think sooner or later, the new look will be forced upon us.

Now, it’s not as if I don’t want to see changes but I think that Gmail, like Google, which used to be so simple to use, is beginning to get complex. I don’t know what other thinks, but I still prefer my Gmail to be simple, and fast. It is certainly not going to be fast enough with an HD background!

Anyway, I will continue to use my current layout and will only switch when the new look is forced upon all Gmail accounts and I have no choice but to switch.

Meeting The Needs Of Global Businesses

With the internet and advancement in technology, many of us are doing global business, or at least, already communicating with potential partners overseas. Coming from a business family, I can already see that we have established business connections with multi-national companies across the globe.

While English may be widely spoken, it is not the only language used in the world. Therefore, to remain competitive, we have to be able to communicate in international languages. Therefore, a company like Merrill Brink International, is in fact, a lifesaver.

Merrill Brink International is a leading language solutions provider, whether we require their globalization or localization services, legal or financial and business translations, just to name a few services. Their experienced language experts are able to accurately translate any document into any major language in the shortest possible time. In business, time is certainly of the essence.

Merrill Brink International is based in the United States of America and has offices in Europe. Due to the quality of services from over thirty years experience, the company is able to service a worldwide clientele. Besides providing language solutions, Merrill also provides virtual data room services where large volume of sensitive business data could be shared among parties in a secured environment.

Ericsson Sells Sony Ericsson Stake to Sony

Ericsson has decided to sell all its 50% share in Sony Ericsson to Sony, ending their ten year partnership, for EUR1.05 billion cash. Ericsson is getting a good price for their stake.

This is not an unexpected move. In fact, it makes sense to both companies. Once this goes as plan, Sony will have full control of the company and in decision-making wise, it will be easier for the company. Meanwhile Ericsson, with their new wealth, will focus on the global wireless market, where wireless connectivity will benefit people, business and society.

Untitled Jersey City Project

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Untitled Jersey City Project tells of an up-and-coming architect who, with his partner, have been commissioned a new waterfront project in his hometown. From what I understand, the developer of the project, with his wealth, is using dirty money to finance the project and underhanded tactics to see his project to fruition. On the other hand, people in the city where the waterfront project is being developed, are opposing the new building.

The main character, Frank George, who thought that he had secured a career-breaking commission, suddenly finds himself caught in the dark side of the project, where he has no idea what is going on, where some of the people he deals with seem shady or have a mysterious background. In addition, he gets tangled up in the web, so much so he is forced to do what he doesn’t want to do. His greedy partner, is suddenly found dead and Frank was the main suspect.

Besides drama and suspense, mystery and action, the Untitled Jersey City Project keeps us on the edge of our seat simply for the fact that we do not which way the storyline will twist. As this is an experimental work-in-progress, it could develop in many different directions.
