    Resurrect Your Old PC

    Resurrect your old PCs Resurrect your old PC Nostalgic for your old beige boxes? Don’t let them gather dust! Proprietary OSes force users to upgrade hardware much sooner than necessary: Neil Bothwick highlights some great ways to make your pensioned-off PCs earn their keep. ardware performance is constantly improving, and it is only natural to want the best, so we upgrade our H system from time to time and leave the old ones behind, considering them obsolete. But you don’t usually need the latest and greatest, it was only a few years ago that people were running perfectly usable systems on 500MHz CPUs and drooling over the prospect that a 1GHz CPU might actually be available quite soon. I can imagine someone writing a similar article, ten years from now, about what to do with that slow, old 4GHz eight-core system that is now gathering dust. That’s what we aim to do here, show you how you can put that old hardware to good use instead of consigning it to the scrapheap. So what are we talking about when we say older computers? The sort of spec that was popular around the turn of the century. OK, while that may be true, it does make it seem like we are talking about really old hardware. A typical entry-level machine from six or seven years ago would have had something like an 800MHz processor, Pentium 3 or similar, 128MB of RAM and a 20- 30GB hard disk. The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because that’s what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my loft, right next to my faithful old – but non-functioning – Amiga 4000.

    Omar Bagasra (1948-Present)

    Omar Bagasra (1948-Present) Professor of Biology Claflin University Director South Carolina Center for Biotechnology “I know I’m making a difference in other people’s lives.” Omar Bagasra, 2006. Overview Dr. Omar Bagasra is a professor of biology at Claflin University, a historically black university in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and is also the founder and director of the South Carolina Center for Biotechnology. His research combines environmental medicine with molecular biology and health disparity issues. Bagasra is particularly interested in finding out why African Americans have the highest rates of prostate cancer (as well as diabetes, hypertension, and female breast cancer) in the world. He has also made a notable contribution to his field by discovering in situ PCR, which allows researchers to determine the percentage of HIV-infected cells in a body. His other areas of interest include: • A Unified Concept of HIV Latency • An Edible Vacine for Malaria Using Transgenic Tomatoes • Role of Micro-RNAs in Regulation of Lentiviral Latency and Persistence. • Locatization of human herpesvirus type 8 in human sperms by in situ PCR. • RNAi as Antiviral Therapy • Zinc and prostate cancer • Role of zinc and zinc transporters in the molecular pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Bagasra says that this life-long intellectual curiosity keeps him in the environmental field. Early Life and Career Omar Bagasra was born on October 9, 1948, on the plains of India. He is the eldest of Amina and Habib Bagasra’s eleven children. Just prior to his birth, India gained independence from Great Britain, and Bagasra’s family joined an exodus of twenty-five million people who left India for the newly-formed nation of Pakistan.

    Whitepaper Ph: +1.210.828.8300 Doug Donahue VP, Business Development

    Entrada Group whitepaper www.entradagroup.com Ph: +1.210.828.8300 Doug Donahue VP, Business Development White Paper - Why An Accurate Cost Model Could be the Difference between Success and Failure in Mexico Every time we are in contact with a manufacturer considering Mexico, one of the first exercises we conduct with them is a cost model. It occurs early in the site selection process and is, understandably, one of the most important questions to answer – How much does everything cost? Unfortunately, many companies contemplating a new manufacturing location (particularly in a foreign country) either don’t run through a sufficiently comprehensive cost model or they lack insight into all the costs they will encounter in an unfamiliar location. This can lead to hidden costs that will only be identified further down the road, after it is too late. Entrada Group has compiled this FAQ to help manufacturers who are considering their first step toward Mexican manufacturing and need some insight into how to best complete a cost model. We added some typical questions at the end about growth, as we hear these a lot. Manufacturing Cost Models – Frequently asked questions Q: What does Entrada Group include in a manufacturing cost model? A: A thorough cost model must include all costs associated with doing business in Mexico, except for raw materials. It’s important to remember that a cost model is not a startup model; a cost model must include all ongoing Mexican costs. A startup model is useful, but only for the initial phase. To be accurate, the cost model must include complete operational costs the manufacturer incurs in the course of production.
