<span style="font-size: medium;">Две са основните направления за развитие на съвременния бизнес - идеи и финансиране. Ако приемем, че вече имаме идеите за бизнес и страхотен бизнес план, остава изключително важната част с финансирането на нашите идеи. Има различни начини за финансиране като банкови кредити с лихви, партньорства и съдружия, "ангели" инвеститори, заеми и други. Но също така, като член на Европейския съюз, Българският бизнес може да се възползва от европрограми и тяхното финансиране. Еврофинансирането води до редица възможности за бизнеса и то не само чисто финансови. Обективната оценка за приложимостта и реализацията на идеята, както и формирането на нови умения и знания за отчетност и методика на работа са страхотни плюсове, които придобиваме.</span><br />
<br />
Много са и историите, които сме чували за неуспели проекти, трудният процес при кандидатстване, тежка бюрокрация и комуникация с управляващия орган, забавяне на изплащания, затруднения при управлението. В никакъв случай тези фактори не трябва да демотивират българския бизнес да се възползва от различните европрограми за финансиране, даже напротив - това трябва да насърчи българските предприемачи да се образоват и да работят с опитни консултанти в сферата на европейското финансиране и <a href="http://prioritybg.com/" target="_blank">конкурентоспособност</a>. Партньорството с опитни консултанти спестява на бизнеса изключително много време, води до придобиването на нова експертиза в сферата на възможностите и бизнес иновациите. Какво по-точно правят консултантите? Нека изброим в резюме основните начини, по които ни помагат за <a href="http://prioritybg.com/" target="_blank">европроекти</a>:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Проучване за финансиране</b> - актуална информация относно изискванията и процедурите по кандидатстване, кои програми са подходящи за нашата идея, стъпки, които трябва да се предприемат за кандидатстване и др.</li>
<li><b>Подготовка на проекти</b> - изисквания и условия за избраната програма, етапи при кандидатстване, документи - бизнес план, формуляри, заявления, предпроектни проучвания и др.</li>
<li><b>Управление на проекти</b> - план за изпълнение, кореспонденция и съглъсуване с Управляващия орган, тръжна документация, счетоводна отчетност и др.</li>
<li><b>Юридически услуги</b> </li>
</ul>
Като заключение можем да кажем, че еврофинансирането е една страхотна възможност за създаване и развитие на нашите идеи, както и че все повече компании се възползват от тази възможност.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868456795649286040.post-19000069719772671622016-09-20T18:12:00.004+03:002016-09-20T18:14:46.809+03:00Python Tutorial series<div style="text-align: center;">

The real competition between Ubuntu (or any other linux distribution for the common user) will begin when their creators are driven by ease of use, user friendliness and optimized settings right out of the box. You can't expect users to fully love an OS when they need to set up so many little annoying things. They are already set up for them in the Win$..<br />
Anyways, since the whitelist has been removed in Ubuntu 13.10 (which I was pretty surprised about) you will need to work some magic with the terminal.<br />
<br />
What you need to install (step by step):<br />
<br />
1. Open up a terminal<br />
2. Add a repository:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/sacy-tests</span></span><div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">sudo apt-get update</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">sudo apt-get upgrade</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span></span></div>
3. Set the whitelist settings to "all" like this:<div>
<br /><div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"</span></div>
</div>
(type the line exact as shown including the brackets and parents)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Reboot</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">sudo reboot</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Next time you start skype or any other program that has a systray icon it will appear correctly. This method has been tested and is working as shown on screenshot bellow.</div>

Constantly connecting / disconnecting or losing the signal, which can be very very irritating. This happened to me recently and I was very annoyed. Sitting out in the summer garden having your meal or cup of coffee and you want to check some stuff on your laptop/pad but you can't seem to get the signal. Well good news for you if you are a Samsung Galaxy S3 user. I will show you in few easy steps how to share your phone's mobile internet to your laptop!<br />

Make sure you have good mobile plan when you download stuff and browse so you don't have to pay a lot. </i><br />
<div>

<div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">*Advanced part*</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
That's it. This is how you can easily use your phone's internet on your laptop/pad or any device. If you have a good mobile plan with fast and cheap internet (like monthly subscription) this is a very cool thing to use. You can share your internet when you are on a meeting, with friends, family or anyone who needs internet to interact with you but does not have a mobile plan or wi-fi available at the moment. </div>

This is a hot topic. Indeed. Lately the Samsung is definitely catching up on Apple. We all know how the Iphone is one of the most popular inventions of the modern days' mobile products business. I used to be Iphone fan I really was. I have used the original one, 4, 4s and 5.<br />
<br />
<b>What I like about the iPhone</b>:<br />
- It's fast.<br />
- It's user friendly (although it depends on the type of user you are, because let's face it: customization - nearly 0).<br />
- It has very good (if not the best) built community hub as well as iTunes software where you can buy pretty much everything. Either will it be music, videos, apps, pictures - you name it. It's very controversial if the iTunes software is good to use, manage and get used to, but that's a whole other topic.<br />
- It is the most "app-development" preferred platform which indeed gives you hundreds of thousands applications of all types. <i>(This is not written to start the whole Android vs iOS war. As an android user I am man enough to face the facts and accept it.)</i><br />
- It runs iOS which is based on Apple's oparating system platform. It is stable, fast, very little amount of bugs and glitches.<br />
I won't list the things I didn't like about the iPhone but let's just say that music transfer/default ringtone management is/was terrible(and that's an understatement) As well as the small screen space. Face it - Samsung beats the crap out of iPhone's screen size (so does the<b> HTC One</b> by the way).<br />
<br />
<b>What I like about the Samsung:</b><br />
- It's faster. Way faster. The 1.2Ghz iPhone cannot compete with the 1.9Ghz Samsung (the model in my country ships with that processor speed). The iPhone's memory 1024 vs 2048 of Samsung's is just a lost battle for the iPhone. 2 cores vs 8? Is this even a fair battle? You might say not but then agian, there are different types of users who are more than satisfied with the specifications of the iPhone and it is enough for them to operate it fast, easy and without lag.<br />
- The bigger screen. Yes, it is a matter of personal choice but you can't really expect me to believe that watching youtube videos, movies or tv shows on your iPhone is a better experience than on the Samsung. No, it is not. Nearly inch bigger, it makes huge difference.<br />
- So I have this friend who told me "...yea maybe but my iPhone makes way better pictures than your Samsung!". Let me just express myself here with a smiley - :-)))<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1.2Megapixel front camera vs 2.0 Megapixel front camera</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8Megapixel rear camera vs 13Megapixel rear camera</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And few options that the iPhone does not have regarding the camera and compared to the Galaxy S4:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
* Burst mode</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
* Dual camera record</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
* Sound and shot</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes sir. Samsung's camera beats your camera. Sorry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since this review and blog is not intended for the highly educated and experienced gadget masters of the Universe, I am trying to help the people who have busy enough daily life to choose a smartphone based on what they actually need. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The era of using mobile phonez "just to make calls" is long ago forgotten. Everybody needs (not should have but need) connectivity via mobile device. Yes you can manage your day, week, month etc better with the mobile device (either phone or tablet). It can save you time! A lot of benefits come by using your phone while on the move. Writing and reading e-mails, having discussions in social networks/private networks video conferrences while you are on the train for example. Managing finances and business reports/spreadsheets etc. is a key point of why you need this gadget. And there is the whole sharing, staying in touch side of the device that really helps you interract with your friends and family while you are on a trip, let's say. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Back to the main point. iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S4. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a matter of:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Speed</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Productivity</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Specifications</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Camera</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Ease-of-use for files</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Screen resolution and size</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Battery</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have a winner. Samsung Galaxy S4. If you are to spend money on a device that has a simillar price - go for the Samsung. If you want to live the whole "Apple is religion" madness go for the iPhone. Because that's the only and ONLY thing that the iPhone has over the Samsung. Buying iPhone with such reason will have you one day wondering: "did I made the right choice? It is slower than the Samsung after all?!" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I found this cool review that compares those two phones where you can view the tech specs of the devices as well as some of the big names in the industry feedbacks. View that review <a href="http://smartphones.techcrunch.com/compare/355-427/Apple-iPhone-5-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<br />
Let me know about your experience with both of the phones. Why you like the iPhone or the Samsung. Keep in mind that this blog is not intended to make you a fan of either of the brands. Just to help you with a personal point of view and experience.<br />

OK, I got this new Samsung Galaxy SIII and I wanted to explore my files and transfer some music to my phone via USB cable. Apparently, Samsung did some bad magic and by default you are not able to explore your device using MTP in ubuntu (haven't checked in other distros but I've read people had same problem). Since I'm using kUbuntu, opening dolphin explorer mounted my Galaxy S3 as "camera" and I was not able to create/paste any files into it(Unknown error). So after some time googling around, i'm finally able to operate my phone via USB cable and a cool little program. Here's a simple guide what you should do to be able to transfer files to your device.<br />
<br />
1. <b>Make sure</b> when connecting your device to Ubuntu via USB cable you select the Media device connection type.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BSDy7Q3FHqQ/UKz25xYvPzI/AAAAAAAAAOo/QBxS3rzkfEo/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BSDy7Q3FHqQ/UKz25xYvPzI/AAAAAAAAAOo/QBxS3rzkfEo/s1600/1.png" height="316" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Open up the terminal and either use the "sudo" command or just do this as root:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'<b><span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">apt-get update</span></b>', '<b><span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">apt-get upgrade</span></b>' when your update is ready or you have nothing to update check out this: <br />'<b><span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">apt-cache search libmtp</span></b>'<br /> so you see results like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">libmtp-common - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) common files</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">libmtp-dbg - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) debugging symbols</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">libmtp-dev - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) development files</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">libmtp-doc - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library documentation</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">libmtp-runtime - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) runtime tools</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">libmtp9 - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">mtp-tools - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library tools</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">gmtp - simple MP3 player client for MTP based devices</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">python-pymtp - Pythonic binding to LibMTP to interact with MTP devices</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Just to be sure I installed everything without the doc and debug package.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can do that easily by this command: (copy and paste in your terminal)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">sudo apt-get install libmtp-common libmtp-dev libmtp-runtime libmtp9 mtp-tools gmtp python-pymtp</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Now install one more thingy:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">sudo apt-get install libusb-dev</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Reboot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. The program you installed in step 2 "gmtp" is the software you will use to transfer files. The trick is: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
launch gmtp (either from Applications-->Multimedia-->gMTP or ALT+F2 "gmtp") now plug in the cable into your device and click "Connect" in gMTP fast. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Give it few seconds to detect the device and select either Phone or SDcard to operate with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gSCFHDL_09A/UKz9E07gSpI/AAAAAAAAAO4/JKgnG-3fsrs/s1600/snapshot2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gSCFHDL_09A/UKz9E07gSpI/AAAAAAAAAO4/JKgnG-3fsrs/s1600/snapshot2.png" height="174" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. After you have selected the storage to operate with you will view the files like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sfhnQ85m7P8/UKz9ZGcLrMI/AAAAAAAAAPA/00kxoTqPyn0/s1600/snapshot3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sfhnQ85m7P8/UKz9ZGcLrMI/AAAAAAAAAPA/00kxoTqPyn0/s1600/snapshot3.png" height="217" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There you have it! I can confirm that this software works. I have transferred my pictures, music and files this way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've read somewhere about an application that can do this via wireless (like Kies for windows) but haven't tried it yet. When I do, I will make a tutorial for it as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope I've helped you and if you have any questions, please use the comments.</div>

As I'm sure most of you searched for at least 15 minutes in google results, you didn't find any software that can actually open the .pub file. I am sharing with you the only website that provided me the tool to really convert this damn file into a .pdf fast, easy and <b>free</b>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/">http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/</a><br />
<br />
The only limitation I saw there was that the file should not be bigger than 2MB.<br />
<br />
On that topic, I've read somewhere that google is working to make <b>LibreOffice</b> to be able to import <b>.pub files</b>. The predictions are for the first months of next year. Although you won't be able to export to <b>.pub</b> files it's still pretty good news.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">I got this new laptop for my work one week ago. So far - so good. I'd like to share some thoughts about it for anyone who is considering buying this model. </span><br />
Here are my specs:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM CPU @ 2.10GHz × 8</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Memory: 8GB (2x4096MB) DDR3<br />Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 2GB DDR3<br />HDD: 1 TB SATA 5400 rpm<br />Monitor: 15.6" HD (1366x768) gloss display<br />Optical: DVD+RW<br />Network: 10/100Mbps Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0<br />Interfaces:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> - 2хUSB 2.0<br /> - 2хUSB 3.0<br /> - HD webcam<br /> - VGA (monitor or projector)<br /> - HDMI<br /> - speakers output/mic in<br /> - 5 in 1 memory reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS pro/XD)</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Battery: 6-cell LI-ION that lasts 2 hours 45 minutes(tested by me, playing videos and multimedia with no display settings reduction)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><u>Ups:</u></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;"><u> </u></span><br />
<div>
1.<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b> Fast</b></span>! Definitely fast. The dual-quad core processor from the awesome Intel i7 family is fantastic. 8GB memory works awesome for my 64-bit Windows/Ubuntu Linux. </div>
<div>
2. <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Display</span></b>. The display this laptop has is very good. For its 15.6" the HD gloss display gives you the comfort of colors and high contrast you would otherwise look for in the desktop PCs. I played some HD videos (no lag, no sound delay) and they look awesome. Of course it has all the dimm/display sleep power saving energy reducing stuff every modern laptop should have. </div>
<div>
3. <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Sound</span></b>. Dudes... it's awesome! I don't know if it is any big-famous-mainstream thing, but "Dolby Home Theater" gives me loud, clear and bass-ish sound. It gets even better... I have those random "A4Tech" headphones which usually sound like someone is trying to put a screwdriver in your ear when I plug them in my desktop PC. I plug them into the laptop (nothing special just a single way in, no setting up, no software or effects) and i'm like "what sorcery is this?". The sound is freakin' awesome! Bass, treble, mid sound everything is awesome. I found some Metallica HD live concerts on youtube I've watched with my headphones and I can tell you I am using headphones at this moment (Marilyn Manson though).</div>
<div>
4. <b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Games</span></span></b>. Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft - No problem! I have Battlefield that i'm eager to try on, but this will happen next weekend. </div>
<div>
5. <span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Work</b></span>. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Windows 7</b>, 64bit with MS Office 2010 - awesome. Adobe Photoshop CS5 - amazingly fast. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Ubuntu 64bit</b> 12.04. This is the first time i <u>DID NOT</u> install or reconfigure or rebuild any drivers! As many of you use opensource OS and software i'm sure you hated the nvidia setting up or sound drivers? Alsa-config? OSS stuff no man! I installed latest Ubuntu 64bit downloaded on a normal cheap CD from their website and everything works. Bluetooth, sound, video, Wi-Fi, Lan, usb recognition, webcam, everything. Running large python code - insane fast. Having multiple ssh connections doing stuff from lots of cronjobs - no problem. Everything from the office suite (LibreOffice) works like a charm (not crashed yet and I have some large sheets). Multimedia playback is great, no lagging HD videos, no crashing anymore. All the function buttons plus the hardware buttons for sound and video just bellow the display work and did not took any setting up. </span></li>
</ul>
6. <span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Silent</b></span>. There is something called "Smart fan, noise control" and it actually works. The laptop doesn't make noise even when it's under pressure.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Downs:</u></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By my experience so far with the Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I found one thing that is insanely annoying. That is the touchpad. Yes it has "Intelligent touchpad" and software that allows you to rotate, enlarge or zoom things, but <b>seriously</b>, the surface on the 2 buttons is actually moving your cursor when you try to press the damn button. One more problem I've encountered was that after multiple "sleep", "hibernate" modes - the touchpad gave an annoying bug. It was moving my mouse cursor from left to right like crazy! Both windows and linux. I've tried restarting - no good. The only way it was fixed was by shutting down the computer and then booting it up again. Very very annoying. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Conclusion</u>: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is an amazing laptop. Extremely fast, competing with most desktop PCs over performance. Absolutely awesome display, video capabilities and sound. One annoying thing is the touchpad but when you get used to it, it might actually turn out to be good. And most of all this laptop is not expensive at all! I got mine for something like 700$ with international warranty. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Highly recommended if you are looking for extremely fast-performance, multimedia and good price!</b></span><br />
