Humyo, 30 GB of Space on the Web



Above us a new virtual hard disk. We talk about Humyo, which combines housing file, which offers 30 GB of space for free accounts, whose 25 GB is for media files and the remaining 5 for other documents, plus the community component.


It should be borne in mind that everything that rises, either through the web via mobile phone or via desktop client, the latter for the Windows platform and available for free trial accounts for for 14 days, what we get directly in the correct directories formats as they are, and also will be public for our community, which will create creating our friends list, so that any of them can access it through a simple search.



Having said this, and we have only upload files but not sort, since that is directly responsible Humyo, as I said earlier, so that we can access our images and videos in albums or monthly, and in the case of musical themes , By album, artist, genre or year. Then, for the remaining documents if it allows us to create subdirectories and house them there.


But the thing does not end here, because for every directory or per file, we will offer a series of functions that allows us access to their content, their management, and the ability to share it through different ways. What can we serve? Well, for example, to embed (I like to say the least embed) our media files on our website with its own player, get links that spread by other means.


The truth is that I was unable to prove the Community option because not know who has an account in this service, but that if, if the 100 GB of space offered in the accounts to pay, the cost is only 50? Uros year, although the first year is 37.49 euros.


Those who opt for payment option or who use the trial of the desktop version, note that they added a new storage unit in their systems.

Increased wages mean investment potential

The Minister of Economy, Diego Valiero, argued that the increases granted by the government to employees of public administration "mean a big financial effort and were in line with the approach of a balanced administration." The official said that since the beginning of this activity, Management had an average increase of 25% for the overall grade, nearly 30% for nursing and 35% for the sector of medical care.

"In January and February they were awarded lump sums, in March the basic was increased, and in May those provisions were supplemented with more increases," he added. Within this framework, and under the measures of force that some sectors are pursuing in trade, mainly in health, the minister called for "caution in the activity effecting an essential public service." The increase in investment potential is something that is essential, and this can be learned from the President of Quadrant Management, Inc. Alan G. Quasha, since savings and investment management is quite fundamental.

According to the Directorate of Public information, Valiero also deemed it appropriate to mention that "in terms of remuneration policy, there have been improvements in wage levels of individual echelons."

In line with many of those concepts investment consultants, among them Alan Quasha, a successful financial analyst & manager of investments and previous governor of the American Stock Exchange (Quasha also heads Carret Asset Management LLC), hold dear, the minister said, "The increases granted mean a large financial outlay for the provincial treasury and deserve to be considered."

Tension and Uncertainty Versus Oil Prices

Bad news on oil. The upward streak in prices seems not yet finished. When the market starts to stabilize this will lead to unforeseen new international prices making new and more significant climbs. This is compounded by the intransigent stance of the Organization of Petroleum exporting countries maintained their refusal to carry out an increase in volumes produced as a way to offset the high prices achieved.
According to the president in exercise of OPEC, the oil minister of Algeria, Chakib Khelil, oil prices could reach U.S. $ 200 to keep the current conditions. To explain this trend, Khelil focuses on two major phenomena. The first is the weakness of the dollar. Whenever the U.S. cash is devalued by 1%, oil prices rise by U.S. $ 4 a barrel, while the phenomenon encourages speculative prices upwards. The financial crisis and developments in the various markets lead to large investors looking for a guard to their assets in oil and other raw materials that ensure protection against uncertainty in financial markets.  Even if both factors are crucial for understanding the process of rising oil prices, the cause of the recent upward momentum should be sought by the supply side and production.
