We are Kaizen Global Services India Pvt. Ltd. one international call center at CBD Belapur Navi Mumbai. Our company has a bill discounting facility with The Saraswat Co Op bank Mumbai. As our company is a STPI unit, we need to submit SOFTEX form each month against our Invoices made during the month. On this basis we get bill discounted with our bank.

But as per STPI rules, STPI takes 20 days in certification of SOFTEX form. However our salary date is 7th of every month and we need fund on 7th. Bank is not ready to provide amount of bill discount any how without SOFTEX form.

If we able to get SOFTEX form only after 20th of the month, please know us how we can get discounted amount before 7th?

Please help me and know me what shall I do??

I downloaded Kaizen’s Left 4 Dead FPS CFG for my slow laptop a while ago which gave less detail and a red cross hair. Less detail mostly means the textures are washed and I have less visibility.
Well I recently just bought a good gaming laptop and I could play L4D 2 flawlessly with max settings, but L4D 1 still has the low visibility and red cross hair! Same steam account, different computers, same result.
Is there a way to reset all settings, all everything in the steam version of L4D?

EDIT: I already have deleted local content, reinstalled, and deleted the cfg and all that, with no success.

Here is my thought:

1. The President appoints former public officials, doctors, insured and uninsured people and former insurance company leaders. Maybe 5 democrats, 5 republicans, 5 doctors, 5 insured people, 5 uninsured people, 5 former insurance company executives and a professional facilitating company to lead meetings and sessions.

2. Identify the main problems with the current system and come up with potential solutions. Use problem solving methods like LEAN or Kaizen, or Kempner Trago like thousands of successful businesses do today.

3. Go out to town hall meetings (committee members) in different regions, and get input for local people to add to the bank of knowledge. (not yelling or screaming or anything like we have seen)

4. Bring the findings and a few simple, detailed solutions to the major issues to congress.

Then we will truly have a bipartisan solution, with input for the American people.
