Ubuntu One Free is a Winner, Takes it All

Ubuntu One Free is a Winner, Takes it All
Canonical, the Ubuntu's parent company is way ahead with cloud computing.
It has both the Client and the Server architecture.
It has integrated the Desktop and  IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).
It has 5 GiB huge storage.
It will soon allow the Windows and Apple users the client service.

That's not all you can stream Music for less than 3 dollars a year price tag.

It’s Canonical’s biggest enterprise win to date, but that’s only a hint of what Canonical is up to with the cloud. 

Only other hit in the market is Amazon's Kindle on Fire.
Like Nero who played Music when Rome was on Fire one may be able to play Music on Kindle on Fire with the help of Ubuntu One Cloud.
What more one needs?
One does not need to be Linux user to take this advantage.
Go and get registered with Ubuntu One.
It has already hit one million clients.

Who is a Doctor and who can hold the Title Dr.?


This is a reproduction from New York Times
Being myself a Medical Person D.P.T.O (Do not Practice and Teach Only) who can use this two letters and the dot for many reasons, avoid using it, doctor part in my life for the last 10 years and it has made my life very easy and simple.
In fact on of my neighbors asked me are you really a doctor to which I smiled and did not give an answer, making him more confused.
Most of the guys/girls who know me come for second opinion, I am more than willing to oblige .
But free of charge and they do get better with simple remedies.
I have few emergency tablets in my purse always for such and eventuality, just in case.

I totally agree with this gentleman and I am more than grateful to him for bringing to notice what ever the PhD one holds if it is not relevant to the (if it is not germane to the holder’s primary current occupation) post currently holding it should not be used as a label of distinction.
After all the PhD may be 30 years old and disproved by at least three times  over that period of time  if it was a good one to tag one's own thesis.

I am in fact currently finishing a book (which actually was a 10 year research work ) and I have decided  not to put that for PhD referral or title and would share it with the general public.
If somebody gives a PhD posthumously for this creative work , the funeral director can put a single copy in my coffin before cremation so that it goes to heaven or hell with me.

Who’s a Dr.?
Our continued use of courtesy titles — increasingly rare in the news media — prompts many questions. Rules on the use of “Dr.” in particular can lead to confusion, for readers and unfortunately sometimes for our writers. Here’s our style book entry:
  
Dr. should be used in all references for physicians and dentists whose practice is their primary current occupation, or who work in a closely related field, like medical writing, research or pharmaceutical manufacturing: Dr. Alex E. Baranek; Dr. Baranek; the doctor. (Those who practice only incidentally, or not at all, should be called Mr., Ms., Miss or Mrs.)

Anyone else with an earned doctorate, like a Ph.D. degree, may request the title, but only if it is germane to the holder’s primary current occupation (academic, for example, or laboratory research).

For a Ph.D., the title should appear only in second and later references. The holder of a Ph.D. or equivalent degree may also choose not to use the title.

Do not use the title for someone whose doctorate is honorary.

Pearl Gourami

Pearl Gourami
I was trying to get some information about Gourami them but could not find enough.
I will list a few of my own experiences.
Pearl Gourami is the most peaceful fish to keep as a pet fish.
The blue Gourami is the most aggressive and may grow bit big.
At breeding time male changes its colour in the belly to golden.
Then they are very aggressive and chase other males almost the entire day.
Keep only one male and many females is the best method when they are aggreesive.
Male makes bubble nests.
Then the male mate and it squeezes the female belly by wrapping itself around the female.
Once eggs are squeezed they fall onto the base.
The male collects them and place them in the bubble nest.
If any any of them falls he religiously collects them and place them in the nest.
For about  2 to 3 days male does not eat but guard the nest.
Female should be separated after mating and fellow does not allow even the females to come near the bubble nest.

No fish can come near at this stage and he should be kept in isolation.
When eggs start hatching male should be taken out lest he will eat all of them being hungry and have not eaten for three days.

Pearl Gourami is one of my favorite fresh water fish.
They are very hardy fish and very peaceful except during breeding time.
They get very friendly with you and this is the only fish (my experience when separating them during mating times) that come up and stay flat on your palm touching your skin with the feelers.
No other fish does this, only Pearl Gourami.
Blue are not that friendly.
But the can be kept with other species if only few males and many females are in the tank.
They will inter-breed and that is why one gets Blue, Brown, White colour shades.

Generally, they require a tank of at least 20 gallons, with lots of hiding spots and preferably lots of plants.
More space the better and they keep to their territory.

They possess a labyrinth organ that allows them to draw oxygen directly from air.
Most have elongated, thread-like fins. These feelers they use like antennae to touch and explore their surroundings.
In my case the skin of my palm.

Kissing Gouramis aren’t actually kissing – males fight by grappling each other by the mouth.
They’re a relatively easy fish to breed in captivity but caring for the young is very difficult till they are about 3 weeks.
Lay about 300 to 500 eggs.
Many die if not eaten by the hungry male.
If you can save 20 it is a good yield.
Water must be aerated without disturbing the nest.
I often switch off the aerator and water should be very clean.
Good luck with your brood.
My ones are breeding and I do not do anything except feeding the other companions.
I have a very big tank and enough space to hide.
In nature they are very shy and do not come up at feed times.
I drop the food pellets (floating and pieces reaching the floor) and know they are there since the next morning the food is gone.
I do not know how many of them are there.
May be 20 or 30 and I put six of them at the beginning.
There is no population problem.
They do control their inmates according to the space available unlike humans.
They do not need oral contraceptives from WHO.
