Warning for touristsBe careful whenever you buy cameras or electrical goods in the shops in the tourist regions. If the price seems too good to be true, something is probably not right. A lot of counterfeit goods are in circulation. Always ask for an international guarantee before you pay. Neither should you fall for the gimmicks by the timeshare sales representatives, who will try to sell you scratch cards. The prize that you have won, to their great surprise, can only be claimed if you go with them to listen to a timeshare sales talk. They will tell you that it will only take an hour and a half, but you should expect it to take at least double that amount of time.
Opening timesShops are usually open from 9h30 to 13h30 and then again from 16h30 to 19h30. At the weekend, they are mostly open only on Saturdays from 9h30 to 13h30. The shops in the holiday regions are mostly open seven days per week.

Hi Gilbert,
I’m a 39-year-old unemployed sales and marketing professional residing in Tampines GRC. After sending out tons of application emails and going for more than a dozen of interviews for the past year, I realised how much discrimination potential job seekers have faced from our Singaporean employers.
These employers, despite crying foul that local job seekers are fussy and choosy, are the ones that are doing all the bad deeds. If you look through most companies’ job application forms or website, you will find questions that already pre-screened a potential candidates on their health and whether they are ex-offenders. So through these questions if one answers truthfully, then you are very likely not able to receive any reply at all.
So it means if you are a cancer survivor, a handicapped person or an ex-offender (be it a minor offence – fined or murderer) it doesn’t matter. Most employers would see you as a burden or liability. This is because they think that even if you are cured of cancer, you may have a relapse and cause the company medical costs and downtime in the future and as an ex-offender, you won’t change for the better.
I see this as a major discrimination in our re employment situation here - who says just because a person is handicapped, he or she can’t be a data entry clerk or admin assistant?
I’ve a pacemaker implant due to some irregular heartbeat but other than having to go for yearly cheackup once a year, I’m perfectly healthy and as I explained to my potential employers, they can even exclude me from medical coverage for heart conditions yet this fell on deaf ears!
The Home Ministry kept campaigning about the Yellow Ribbon Project but how receptive are employers about employing reformed ex-prisoners in actual fact?
In the first place, the Civil Services don’t even endorse it. How many ex-offenders are employed in the Civil Services or even Stat Boards? Why didn’t the government take the lead and walk the talk?
I personally felt that the government should take the lead in passing legislations to prevent employers from asking those discriminating questions on potential job seekers and also ensure that employers provide equal employment opportunities for ex-offenders.
I’m turning 40 years old this year so it would be even tougher for me to seek employment despite having about 20 years of working experience. So while employers continue to whine about difficulties in getting local workers and thinks foreigners are cheaper alternatives for this I truly support the government’s effort in raising the foreign workers levy so that they feel the pinch now and start looking at us.
Last but not least, to all workers coming to 40 years of age, stay in your current employment no matter what is the problem at work as once you are out, you are not only out but down too and if you don’t have much medical coverage, medical costs would burdened you very heavily.
Re employment will also be a big issue for you…
Andrew
Despite all the glorying headlines we read about the low unemployment rate here, it is highly question after reading so many people in the 30s to 50s suffering the plight of joblessness. We should know the true picture of the jobless situation here.
At the rate the problems are popping out, more voices will be heard.
There is too much discrimination. I too am wearing a pacemaker and an artificial heart valve. But whenever I declare my medical condition in their application form, I will never hear from them again.
The fact is that my medical condition does not affect my performance if it is an admin job.
Sigh…what else can I say???
In most developed countries, it is not legally right to ask the candidate about his or her health conditions, because it amounts to a form of discrimination against the person. Singapore is behaving in a distinctively 3rd world country mindset by demanding to know the candidate’s health condition, and judging based on health, and age.
Hi Kelvin, thanks for sharing and be proud as a heart condition sufferer. I guess many employers are just simply kiasu and not want to waste time on potential candidates with medical conditions like us.
My take on this matter is just don’t declare about your medical conditions, at least when things happen, you just loose your job only. It’s still better than not having a job right now, at least you don’t have to worry about your financial burden temporary.
Good luck.
As I read the papers, I realised that the discriminations in fact have increased even when times are good. Discriminations have gone into the extent of educational background. I was even told by some friends in the HR departments that some of their bosses asked them to shortlist only those from NUS, NTU or reputable uni only, those who got their degrees from distance learning or part-time basis need not call for interview.
I was called up by a so-called headhunter about 2 weeks ago on a Snr Marketing Manager position and was told that I’m so qualified for it but upon giving them the green light to set up the interview, I heard nothing of the enthusiatic recruiter’s voice since then until this morning’s email. In her email reply, she claimed that the company’s bosses love my employment experiences and exposures and I was a perfect fit for the position however my long term continuity and productivity are questionable since their industry is so competitive. They even went on to say that the pay package that I was asking for were affordable to them. Well, when I questioned the recruiter over the phone after reading the email, her politically tactful answer was that the bosses weren’t certain that I would be able to survive the fast paced working environment given my health and also age.
At this point in time, I told off the recruiter to tell her that in future please tell potential employers that I’m a truthful and honest candidate and I appreciate that they reciprocate with the same gesture even if they intend to discriminate me. At for this employer, I would boycott their stores for their discriminatory acts.
Gilbert, I would suggest that your site compile a list with contributions from all readers, supporters and visitors of discriminating companies or employers so that as Singaporeans, we stand united and boycott their business. Eventhough as candidates there is little we can do about their discriminations but as consumers, we sure as hell can exercise our consumer rights.
Thanks.
@Andrew Soh, I agree with you about this. As candidates, we have little say, but as consumers, we can boycott their stores. I have had a friend who was always going on that if we boycott everything, then we won’t need to eat or survive. But this boils down to more than that. Would we rather sacrifice our own sense of ethics and integrity to the sense of convenience, and hence, sell ourselves short for the sake of saving a few more minutes or cents? I am boycotting a few stores and have done it with effect from some time back.
Good on you Kev, I’m doing the same. felt good on my conscience as always.
Oh the life!! it is so nice to see you guys have fun!! LOVE the shot of the three of you jumping in the pool!! and you’re right, that tree MUST be phoogtraphed! It deserves to after all it’s perseverance growing on that hillside.Looking forward to Crete part 2 you make my day!!
I want to apply the principle of Singaporeans First in my day-to-day dealings as a customer with people who are serving me. When a store employs foreigners en masse, I boycott them, or demand that I get served by the local. That is the least I can demand as a customer. If I get telemarketeers who are Filipina, I tell them directly that I do not do business with foreigners like them because I am on a Singaporeans First policy. It stuns them with shock, and as much as I hate to sound xenophobic, I think that if I cannot understand one word of what they are saying as well, any kind of communication is futile. People overseas in other countries like Australia and Canada and the USA expect immigrants to be able to speak English properly without the encumbrances of their original country’s accent or slang(hence, no Singlish), and surely right here in singapore, we can demand that foreigners do not speak in Chinglish nor Pinoy-glish.
Hi Kev
That’s very brave and conscientious of you to do that!
Don’t your boss enquired you on this stand?
Take care and keep up the good work. We need more Singaporeans like you!
Gilbert
Hi Gilbert, as a part-time tutor here, before I fly off the end of September for greener pastures, my direct ‘boss’ is Singaporean and she herself employs mostly Singaporeans for the work, with the exception of some Chinese from mainland China who have been here for many years(probably permanent residents or new citizens already by now) as Chinese tutors. She herself told me she has nothing against foreigners since she said they came here for the sake of having a better life, but of course, she acknowledges as a Singaporean too that she is aware that a lot of them take and leave, as this couple whom she used to tutor the kid of, migrated after 3-5 years in Singapore for Australia. Maybe it is because I myself get discriminated before at the workplace as a Singaporean, and that leads me to have this strong sense that we cannot take for granted this status quo. Other Singaporeans might beg to differ with me and call me xenophobic, although I do not agree. I have nothing against foreigners if they come here and contribute in a positive capacity and are truly talents. I have problems with those who come to take and leave, and even despise the very country that they migrated to in hopes of a better life and its people, and also, I have problems with the government which opens its arms to them without a care for its own citizens, telling us to “bear with it” in the name of globalization.
Called CDC to ask where PMETs can look for jobs?!
Guess what is the reply?? “We expect you all to look on your own!!!!!” CDC
What about Discrimmination based on race? Infact,the most of recruitment firms are only asking for specific race.It is though the other races,does not matter! when we call the recruitment agency’s,they say “WE NEED ONLY THIS RACE”……THERE IS NO LEGISTLATION TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST DISCRIMMINATION
Unemployment rate in Singapore is at 2% but getting a job is so tough..been looking since 5mths n still unemployed…employers put in discriminatory ads like MUST read n write Chinese, all in bold n red letters…this is so disheartening…as we are as Singaporeans with multi races of ChineseIndiansMalays….I put all of us together as that is what the Singapore National pledge says united as 1… But am not sure whether we are united as 1 at all…now foreigners are coming in taking our rice bowl for lower level to higher level jobs….
Banks calling for payments due to loans and cost of living is going up…how to survive with young kids to feed, which is important…not sure where are heading to…PRCs are rude n killing people recklessly…they steal…n now they are driving buses…not sure when they going to kill he next Singaporean on the streets as their driving is so dangerous n reckless…they can’t even speak a word of good English….
Filipinos…oh goodness they are everywhere…can’t understand what type of English they are speaking….is Singapore a gold mine for foreigners to come…make their money…buy house n sell house…take their CPF n return back to their country n pass the baton to the next foreigner…
Why are the older or ageing population been shunned away for getting jobs…they are more skilled n experienced and should he given opportunities to grow with the next generations to come…are they not older officials in our government cabinets….they are not shunned right…in fact they much appreciated and loved by the people of Singapore….so let’s work together to build our nation as 1 united People….
Hi Jobless Mom Of Desperate, in regards to your mentioning of employers only recruiting workers tat can only read or write bilingually. Frankly I don’t see it as discriminating cause in some line of work there are really such requirement thus the need. As a manager I had hired an Indian before where she took Chinese as 2nd language in Sec sch and she can read and write chinese better than me, of course she got the job then. But nowadays, it’s harder to get local young S’porean even with such skills too. As for older workers’ discrimination, though it is a daily thing but I too have interviewed my fair share of arrogant and stuck in the mud mature workers. Not only are they not receptive to the new company’s culture and rules but they complain and complain, some even during interviews about their previous employers.
My take is that not because I’m back in the workforce already thus I can say things lightly but always hear from both sides and like they always say, check yourself in the mirror before you step out of the house. Good luck all. | http://www.transitioning.org/2011/05/29/39-year-old-jobless-pmet-to-employer-stop-asking-discriminating-questions/ | 2013-05-18T10:11:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Prague is one of those cities that everyone seems to have been to except for you. When I admitted I was eager to see it for myself, I was presented with a virtual cornucopia of advice: "It's like a pop-up fairy tale and you must stay there at least a week," and "You have to piggyback Prague with Budapest and Vienna, otherwise it makes no sense," and finally, "My best friend is starting a business in Prague. His brother made a fortune. I will give you his number because you absolutely have to know somebody."
I'm sure a trip to Prague can easily be incorporated into a tour of Central Europe. And it certainly would be nice to tour the city arm in arm with Vaclav Havel, or the conductor at the Estates Theatre, or a prominent real estate developer. I thought about it. I was given names of businessmen, filmmakers, and journalists, all of whom seemed to be out of town the week I was going. Perhaps they knew that September is still high tide for tourism. The city is mobbed with visitors of every nationality climbing breathlessly to the castle. So I decided to venture out on my own, as most tourists do, without fixers—a species prevalent in the former Soviet bloc—and without introductions. I arrived with just a few guidebooks, my flat feet, and an intense curiosity.
Getting lost on Prague's meandering cobbled streets on a bright morning testifies reassuringly to the impossibility of any theme park re-creating the synthesis of history. This city, at once melancholic and joyous, is all architectural themes and variations. On one corner, a crane presiding over the transformation of a medieval building into a modern bank looms above a decayed treasure next door. The gold inlay of the beautifully renovated Art Deco Municipal House works overtime to eclipse the structure's previous incarnation as an apparatchik bureau. Down Wenceslas Square, more an avenue and less of a square, the gleaming McDonald's with its neo-Baroque murals stands comfortably near the Café Europa, whose four chandeliers and marble walls would move my grandmother to envious tears. The Pelikan Café, among the few remaining outposts of fifties-style Soviet hospitality (read: Formica tables and plastic knickknacks) is just catercorner to a sparkling Planet Hollywood.
This is a compact city, a labyrinth that runs deep, not wide. Parizska Street, bordering the old Jewish ghetto, is now a Czech version of Madison Avenue, lined with Hermès and Nina Ricci boutiques. The castle is a short bus ride from the center of town or a longish walk across the Charles Bridge and uphill. Of course a weekender's Prague does not tell the whole story. Take the subway, a marvel of Soviet engineering, to the outskirts, where the lines of modern, punch-card apartments look no different than those radiating from the middle of Moscow, Warsaw, or the former East Berlin. They are a reminder that Prague today is a democratic miracle and that the Communist legacy, virtually absent from the center of the city, is only recently a thing of the past. "I was in Prague before the revolution," Shelley Wanger, an editor at Pantheon Books, tells me. "It was so depressing. The city was beautiful, but nobody looked you in the eye."
ON A BRIGHT FALL DAY, PRAGUE, FOR A VISITOR, is anything but depressing. On the contrary, it is rather like being inside a music box. The most desirable hotels are within easy walking distance of Old Town Square. The Palace Hotel, a triumph of renovation, has all the comforts its five stars promise. In the lobby, American tourists compare notes on their music cruises to Vienna, and the concierge can book special guided limousine tours. It's probably the most luxurious hotel in the city, though here luxe has a generic feel. The Inter-Continental, formerly a bugged tribute to a Communist vision of utopia, has suffered a similar fate. It's now a well-run business hotel with a swimming pool and kitschy miniature golf.
The most outwardly charming, the Hotel Pariz, is ideal for after-theater drinks. Dreams of coffee and cakes and Mozart come true in this Art Deco paradise. However, it is far less romantic once you arrive in your room. After I excitedly passed the beautiful halls and opened the door to my suite, I found an unmade bed and an open bottle of wine with a note that read, "Wine is sour as corked."
Despite this kind of surprise, rooms at the Hotel Pariz or any Prague hotel are heavily booked, and reservations must be made well in advance. I spent most of my week at small, pleasant Casa Marcello, patronized primarily by Europeans. The bistro across the street attracts hip young things who occupy the tables for hours, writing in their journals and smoking. How many "sensitive" first novels must have been written there?In my heart, I envied all those young scribblers.
For those who long for Bohemian coziness, the hotels U Krale Karla and, just over the Charles Bridge in Mala Strana, U Pava offer dark walls and vaulted ceilings. One can imagine hiding for hours under a down comforter, reading Bruce Chatwin's Utz or Philip Roth's The Prague Orgy, two of the best novels written in English about Prague. Or gazing at the city immortalized by Milan Kundera and Ivan Klima through the stained-glass windows of the bar, pilsner in hand.
THAT CHARM IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO FIND. Prague is certainly no longer Europe's best-kept secret. During the summer and early fall, Old Town Square is packed with German, Norwegian, and Japanese tourists clustered around guides holding up identifying umbrellas. They gape at the Astronomical Clock, which began ticking in 1490. Every hour wooden figurines representing Greed, Vanity, and Death perform a morality play as the sun moves through the 12 signs of the zodiac. It is the perfect introduction to Prague's medieval magical mystery tour.
In Old Town Square the city's previous and current life intersect. The medieval church spires and the Jan Hus Monument, which paid silent witness to the crowds that greeted the Communist takeover in 1948, now are more likely to serve as a backdrop for photo shoots of six-foot-tall Czech models in head-to-toe Prada.
Yet Prague still has an iconoclastic appeal. College-age travel entrepreneurs fill the square, offering daily architecture, mystery, and Franz Kafka walking tours. My Kafka guide (a Swedish high school teacher and I were her only takers) was a 20-year-old university student. She seemed extremely well versed in her Kafka history and opinionated about other histories as well.
"In Prague, we treasure our writers, unlike Americans," she told us.
It was refreshing to be with a tour operator, however unofficial, so profoundly unskilled in playing up to the Yankee ego. "In America all writers are rich and write movies," she continued.
I finally summoned up my courage. "I'm a playwright. Most of my friends don't make a great deal of money."
At last she smiled. "Our president is a playwright."
I smiled back. "Yes, I know."
I didn't go on to tell her I'd met her president at a luncheon last year. Or that, when he was asked if he missed writing plays, the man who changed a nation's history with courage and determination said, "Writing plays is very hard." | http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/an-american-in-prague | 2013-05-18T10:42:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Nobu Matsuhisa's Peruvian-influenced Japanese dishes are now served at more than 15 outposts worldwide. But this new location, enclosed in a dramatic pagoda with fabric-draped ceilings, serves items you won't find elsewhere: razor-thin slices of conch seared in sesame, ginger, and yuzu; and a sophisticated conch ceviche.

Hung Vuong Hotel
A sensible mid-range option
What we say:
This centrally-located mid-range place makes sense if you're looking for comfort and convenience for an overnight stay. The standard rooms have small, but soft and comfy beds -- no points for the industrial grey carpeting throughout, nor for the decor, which is distinctly lacking in flair, but it's all clean and all the rooms have good furnishings -- including tubs in the bathroom. The living room suites actually look comfortable enough to lounge around in, which isn't always the case in this price range in Vietnam. It's a bonus that an entire branch of the Vietcom bank is located in the lobby, and there's also Karaoke and massage downstairs, if you care to give it a try.Check rates around Quang Ngai best price guarantee!

Technology has transformed our daily lives more completely and more rapidly than anyone could have expected. Access to email and the internet while on the move is now an expectation for consumers when buying a cell phone (and has resulted in the creation of the new tablet market). The way we interact with our friends and colleagues has also changed with many people belonging to social networks.
At the same time, how we use and store precious information is changing as data analysis improves and the adoption of cloud computing, which uses a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, becomes more widespread.
As consumers have become comfortable with accessing data on the move and storing it in remote locations, those that work in corporate treasury have increasingly sought similar accessibility and functionality in the tools they use for their job. Citi has responded by accelerating its own technological development, including the creation of online banking tool CitiDirect BESM Mobile.
Making the Treasury Mobile
Smartphones and tablets can potentially offer users the same functionality and user experience as a desktop PC in an office. However, Citi recognizes that corporates’ requirements and expectations are significantly different from those of consumers. Moreover, the constraints of mobile phones and tablets potentially limit what is achievable for corporates on such devices.
Citi’s goal in creating CitiDirect BE Mobile was therefore not to emulate the full experience of CitiDirect BESM but to offer users the functionality they want on the move in a straightforward way. For example, the screen size of smartphones and tablets is smaller than desktop PCs, which makes navigation trickier. CitiDirect BE Mobile overcomes this by allowing users to search payments, for example, by currency or amount, so they do not have to scroll through hundreds of queued payments.
Perhaps the most important consideration for corporates is security: they expect the same level of security for mobile access as exists within the office environment. CitiDirect BE Mobile offers users (and companies) complete confidence by using the web-browser of the device rather than a dedicated App, which can leave data on the device after use – making it vulnerable in cases of theft, for example. In addition, it uses the proven CitiDirect SafeWordTM Card, a credit card sized digital device into which user must enter a pin, a challenge and a response.
Appropriate functionality
While there is a strong appetite among corporate users for a mobile online banking experience, Citi’s research shows that users do not want the full functionality of CitiDirect BE on a mobile device for a variety of reasons, including security and complexity.
In response to detailed research of users’ expectations, CitiDirect BE Mobile allows users to receive notifications, access their account balances and transaction status as well as authorize and release payments to suppliers from virtually anywhere at any time. It is also possible to initiate pre-formatted payments for domestic and international funds transfers, although not to initiative new payments (largely for security reasons).
CitiDirect BE Mobile is customizable so that users can set themselves up to do whatever tasks they require – such as payment or file approval – on a smartphone or tablet. It can be used through most smartphone browsers, including BlackBerry, Apple iOS, Android, Windows and Symbian phone models and is already available in 88 countries worldwide (compared to 96 for CitiDirect BE). Uptake has been extremely quick: total flows over seven months have been $7 billion – $6 billion of which have occurred in the past six months.
In addition to CitiDirect BE Mobile, Citi continues to innovate in other mobile treasury services. For example, its Citi® Mobile Collect offering provides a secure, fast and flexible way to pay using a mobile phone. Replacing cash and checks, Mobile Collect streamlines and simplifies the payment process, increases transaction control and eliminates the risks associated with cash payments. Payments are made and confirmed in real-time over a secure network, reducing the potential for fraud, providing an audit trail and making reconciliation easier.
The broader impact of digitization
The rapid adoption of smartphones and tablets is just one of the ways in which digitization is changing how Citi serves its transaction banking clients. For Citi, digitization is of crucial importance because of the benefits it can deliver to clients as they move away from the use of paper – be it in the form of cash and checks, or the use of account forms and statements. Digitization lowers costs and improves efficiency. It also improves transparency and visibility while enhancing security. Furthermore, digitization can enable improved levels of financial responsibility and inclusion of the unbanked.
One of the most dramatic changes in personal interaction in recent years is the advent of social media and collaborative tools. As social networking has grown, many banks have sought to find ways to leverage its capabilities into transaction banking. However, it is important to be realistic about the suitability of social networking and adopt only those features that bring real benefits to corporates.
For example, Citi’s research has shown that the appetite of businesses for social networking tools is limited – at least from a banking perspective. While the idea of collaboration sounds attractive in theory, in reality companies that compete against each other for business do not want to collaborate in any meaningful way.
Instead, in order to improve its offering to clients, Citi has used some of the ideas from collaborative platforms to upgrade CitiDirect and avoid having to create an entirely new platform that would entail a time-consuming migration for users. Upgrades have improved navigation for users (including user-defined quick tasks) and the use of tools that facilitate greater self-service for customers, including electronic bank account management (eBAM) to digitize account processes, and online global billing and statements. In addition, Citi has invested in greater use of multi-media, such as video, for use in training.
Data and the cloud
Other than the increasing accessibility of information due to cell phone and tablet use, one of the most important digitization trends of recent years has been a change in the way data is used and stored.
Companies increasingly want to gain insights from their data that can help them to improve treasury efficiency. Citi is among the first bank to have established a data warehouse and has set up data governance councils, which clean incoming data to an approved quality standard. That enables the bank to perform data and payment analytics, including the analysis of error information (for different countries, for example). Other offerings based on data analysis include ReceivablesVision®, which increases visibility into receivables data, streamlines accounts receivable processing, strategically manages receivables and accelerates cash flow.
At the same time, there is increased interest in cloud computing for data storage and processing. For companies, cloud computing offers huge potential benefits by enabling better integration between ERP systems and banks.
However, as with the use of cell phones and tablets for online banking, there is an important drawback to the use of the so-called public cloud for corporates: it is not secure enough to protect their commercially sensitive and valuable data. Instead, for companies the focus is on private clouds that are managed in a way that meets recognized standards for security. Citi has worked with SAP, which has developed a private cloud, so that SAP users can communicate directly with the bank instead of requiring direct connectivity and using a batch file. | http://www.treasuryandrisk.com/2012/09/24/digitization-essentials-for-corporate-treasuries-u | 2013-05-18T10:12:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Nissan Gives Sneak Peak of 'Invitation' Concept Car
© Nissan
Nissan's Next European B-Segment Car?Ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, Nissan has released a few photos and details about a new B-segment concept car that it calls the 'Invitation'. The company claims that the Invitation, thanks to a lightweight platform and a very aerodynamic design, will get "class-leading" fuel economy. Sadly, there's no word yet about an electric or plug-in hybrid version, but considering how bullish Nissan's CEO is on electric vehicles, it wouldn't be too surprising if electric motors and batteries eventually found their way in the Invitation (or whatever the commercial version ends up being called).

Personally I think it looks better than the LEAF and I'd love to see an electric version eventually come out (either as a replacement for the current LEAF's body or as a separate EV model). What do you think? Please let us know in the comments below.

A professional social network like LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) is clearly valuable. Its market cap is an impressive US$9 Billion and last traded at US$92.
Yesterday, news broke out that LinkedIn Founder, Reid Hoffman met with major internet companies in China to discuss plans to enter China in a more measured way. More specifically Hoffman met with search engine Baidu, e-commerce giant 36Buy.com and Facebook like social network RenRen.
Like many other international online social networks, LinkedIn has found it difficult to really penetrate into China. Last February access to the site was blocked by the Great Firewall. However, it would be too ignorant to assume that its shaky accessibility is the reason why it has not attracted as much traction as inside China. Currently the site is not blocked, so let’s examine why LinkedIn does not lead in China and why they will have a hard time seriously entering the market.
See the full Trefis analysis for LinkedIn
1. LinkedIn is not in Chinese
Currently if you access the site in China, it will be in English. Of course most Chinese are more comfortable with Chinese language and don’t want to struggle with using an English product. However I know more and more Chinese are using LinkedIn, commonly they are the more international type who studied abroad or work for a big international company. The point is, this group of people (English speaking/international Chinese) is not the majority. Presumably, LinkedIn would localize to Chinese when they do enter China seriously. Even if LinkedIn has the best technology and product, it doesn’t guarantee its success. In China, professional relationships are driven by much more offline activity, so LinkedIn’s product advantage may not help that much.
2. LinkedIn is a market follower not a leader in China
The ironic reality of China is that since Chinese is still the main language and there are higher barriers to jump over, an American internet or mobile company can be big everywhere else but not in China. The time it takes for an foreign company to localize and figure out their market entry strategy into a new foreign region is the time local companies use to do it for them, that is, clone, localize, ‘innovate’ and launch. Already there are at least 5 major Chinese professional social networks, Tianji, Wealink, Ushi, Hengzhi and Jingwei. Tianji leads with over 6 million users and as of 2011, LinkedIn only had 1.1 million but that’s a good effort for not even really trying.
3. Even Chinese Online Professional Social networks struggle in China
A measure of this is that, there were 44 million LinkedIn users in America alone in 2011 compared to Tianji’s 6 million in China. So if China’s number 1 is only about 13% of America’s number 1 in terms of number of users, it proves the market is still at its nascent stages. As we wrote back in July last year, despite China having achieved incredible economic and social growth, the reality is, China only opened up to economic reform in the 1980’s so it hasn’t had a relatively long time to develop a very large pool of business professionals. This reasoning inspired a post last year, “Short of Business Professionals, Why LinkedIn Does Not Work in China.” Other challenges in China to make a professional social network work in China are finding loyal users, maintaining the quality of users and encouraging online interaction. You can read more about that here.
—
My belief is that although LinkedIn has a tough battle ahead to become the number one player in China and must navigate all the other historic and cultural milieu, China still represents a huge opportunity. China is developing so quickly that given a few more years, things could be very different. The amount of Chinese business professionals is bound to explode. With a lot of cash, Hoffman and LinkedIn has no reason to not try and enter China seriously. | http://www.trefis.com/stock/lnkd/articles/104391/linkedin-founder-reid-hoffman-looking-for-a-bigger-slice-of-china-%E2%80%93-can-he-really-succeed/2012-02-17/profile/company/company/jobs/accountInfo/companies/companies/privacy/company/companies/widgets/?from=footer | 2013-05-18T10:34:14 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX) reported results for Q1 FY 2013 on September 24, posting total revenues of $568.1 million, an increase of 3% compared to the same quarter last year. [1] This is a slower growth rate than what the company achieved during Q4 2012, which affirms our concerns that a stagnating job market is hampering the company’s growth prospects. For example, Payroll Service revenue, which is correlated with the number of employees on Paychex’s client payrolls, only grew 1% during the quarter and Human Resource Service revenue increased by only 7% versus the 12% growth it posted in Q4 FY2012.

Tembo Trunks | Powerless Speakers
Tembo Trunks are the first collapsible earphone amplifiers designed for iPod shuffle, iPod nano & iPod classic. Using horn acoustics, Tembo Trunks amplify the music from your iPod’s ear-buds up to 80dB of clarity-enhanced stereo sound (3x the regular sound).
Tembo Trunks don’t use batteries or drain power like external speakers or docking stations. and the ear-buds that came with it.
The Tembo Trunks are light, small, flexible, stackable and virtually indestructible – they’re 100% waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof; they’re speakers that aren’t really speakers. These high-grade silicone rubber speakers have no moving parts or electronic components to fail on you, Tembo Trunks will keep working whenever and wherever you’re sharing your tunes.
The idea was born after Mike and Scott Norrie travelled through Africa while being frustrated at not being able to kick back with some tunes during night in the Veldt.

Halo by Fitorio Leksono is electronic device that is made strictly for the purpose of trading business cards. This digital device allows people to exchange their cards with basic touchscreen and Bluetooth technology.
The small gadget looks a bit like a slimmed-down smartphone with a protective rubber case on the back. The front is made of crystal glass that is a touch-screen. People can give and collect business cards using a Bluetooth. To find any card they've collected, one can scan through the alphabetic index. Most importantly, this device still allows people to make custom business cards to make sure one can still stand out from the crowd.
This gadget is currently only a concept but making it real would allow us to say goodbye to paper cards.

Abstract
Background
National obesity rates have dramatically risen over the last decade. Being obese significantly reduces life expectancy, increases the risk of a range of diseases, and compromises quality of life. Costs to both the National Health Service and society are high. An increased prevalence of obesity in people with learning disabilities has been demonstrated. The consequences of obesity are particularly relevant to people with learning disabilities who are already confronted by health and social inequalities. In order to provide healthcare for all, and ensure equality of treatment for people with learning disabilities, services must be developed specifically with this population in mind. The aim of this project is to pilot the evaluation of a manualised weight management programme for overweight and obese persons with mild-moderate learning disabilities (Shape Up-LD).
Methods/Design
An individually randomised, controlled pilot trial in 60 overweight and obese (body mass index ≥ 25) adults (age ≥ 18) with mild-moderate learning disabilities and their carers will be carried out, comparing “Shape Up-LD” with usual care. The manualised Shape Up-LD intervention will involve 12 weekly sessions, which include healthy eating messages, advice on physical activity and use of behaviour change techniques to help people manage their weight. Assessments of participants will be conducted at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 months. Service users and their carers and service providers will also give their perspectives on the experience of Shape Up-LD in qualitative interviews at 12 weeks. Feasibility outcomes will include recruitment rates, loss to follow-up, compliance rates, completion rates, collection of information for a cost-effectiveness analysis and an estimation of the treatment effect on weight.
Discussion
The findings from this study will inform our preparation for a definitive randomised controlled trial to test the efficacy of the programme with respect to weight loss and maintenance in this population. Weight loss through Shape Up-LD could lead to improvements in health and quality of life. Costs to the National Health Service might be reduced through decreased overall service use because of improved health. The programme would also ensure a more equitable service for overweight service users with learning disabilities and fill the current gap in weight management services for this population.

Several homeowners are in a heated battle with their Waller County neighborhood developer, saying he is slapping them around, even after last year’s wildfire devastated much of the neighborhood.
Several resident’s of Remington Forest on FM 1488 in Waller County, claim that developer Michael Fitzmaurice has threatened them with foreclosure, while also running the development’s homeowners association illegally.
“If I would have known this homeowners association and developer were so crooked, I never would have bought here,” said resident Barbara McRann.
The residents say that Fitzmaurice, in his capacity as president of the homeowners association, has sent out letters claiming they are late on homeowners’ dues and is serving illegally on the board.
“He thinks we don’t have records that show we paid our dues and that he can do what he wants,” Debbie Sloan said. “He’s a convicted felon and he can’t serve on the board.”
Public records show that Fitzmaurice was convicted of numerous counts of fraud and grand theft in 1989, in Florida.
According to a new state law, which took effect last September, a convicted felon cannot serve on a homeowner’s board, if the board is presented with a paper trail showing the conviction.
“At the December homeowners meeting he admitted he was a felon,” resident Scarlett McFarland said. ‘Then in May he signed 45 or so letters demanding dues be paid, as president (of the homeowners association).”
The group said that they have requested to see the association’s books and that Fitzmaurice has refused to turn them over.
“I sent a certified letter, which I know he got because I received his signature, and it said I wanted to see the books,” Sloan said. “I never got an answer.”
The group then turned to an advocacy group, which helped them form a new homeowners association, which the current homeowners association is now challenging in Waller County courts.
The attorney for the original homeowners group, Nathan Steadman, told the Tribune that Fitzmaurice has stepped down from the board, due to the new state law, as did his mother. He said the neighborhood’s covenant, however, allows him to appoint three members to the board, while two are supposed to be elected by homeowners.
Residents say that those elections never occurred. Steadman disagrees.
“Many of the homeowners refused to participate,” he said.
Steadman said he works for the original homeowners group and not Fitzmaurice.
“I was hired by the board because they believe that two organizations cause confusion and they want the court to decide which one has legitimate power,” he said.
Steadman said that 35 homeowners in the neighborhood owe more than $51,000 in past due association fees.
“Three of the five people on this so-called new board are past due,” he said.
Sloan disagrees.
“We have proof and have sent Fitzmaurice proof of it,” she said.
Steadman said that no matter how displeased residents are with Fitzmaurice, that starting a new board is not the answer.
“The practical standpoint is that it doesn’t really matter which board is in charge, because (Fitzmaurice) can still appoint three members to either board,” Steadman said. “It may not be fair, but it is in the restricted covenant of the development that the developer gets more votes.”
McRann believes it’s all a power trip from a greedy developer.
“My first year here my dues were $300, the next $450,” she said. “I called and asked him how he could do this and he said ‘I can do what I want’.”
“At the end of the day, the summary of all of this is that it is a power struggle,” Steadman said.

Starting with the booking by email, my experience with the hotel was great. Diana was very helpful in arranging for us to have rooms for all of our family. The rooms were clean, and we enjoyed comparing the towel animals each day. Breakfast was good and fresh, which got us into our sightseeing days. Good location just off the main street so it wasnt too noisy. Beautiful sunset view of Arenal, especially from the small porch on the top level of the hotel.

Stayed at Mohegan Sun for one night in April 2011. Valet parking was quick, check-in was quick, elevators were quick. Only room upgrade available was 50$ for suite. Not worth it for one night. My room was on the 28th floor. I think this is a partial smoking floor, as there was a suspicious air purifier in hallway, and hallway smelled less than fresh.The room, on the other hand, did not smell at all. Very clean.
Had a massage at the Spa. Spa not as luxurious as some I've been to, but staff very courteous. Massage was great!!
Casino was lots of fun, with low minimum tables. All the dealers were friendly, and the pit bosses professional. Cocktail waitress service pretty good.
Snack at Margaritaville was OK- just OK. Friendly bartender. And, Ben and Jerry's had "Free Cone Day". What a deal!!
Room service breakfast arrived at the time requested. Hot coffee, OK pastries, good juice.
Only glitch was that even after I got a late check out for 12 noon, mu key had been disabled when I went back to check out at noon! My fault, I guess. All in all a good stay.

It is rather amusing to read some guests` impressions of my neighborhood, which appears to be the sticking point, as almost all the reviews post favorable reviews of the hotel. I put myself up in this apartment for a few days back in July, vacating my own apartment for some family and guests of my wedding. The hotel was wonderful. Now, onto the neighborhood. There's a reason many people live in the suburbs. This separation of and creates irrational fears of urban dangers. Folks, I live in this neighborhood. It certainly is not well-off, though it is gentrifying. It is mainly comprised of the working poor, yes the 47 percent, mainly immigrants, who are working their tales of for a better life. A short walk from the hotel puts you in the center of Sunset Park. This vibrant neighborhood, made up mostly of Chinese and Mexican immigrants, has some of the richest and most authentic cuisine in the city. It's a shame that more people don't explore this neighborhood. Anthony Bourdain recently did. Sunset Park, the actual park, affords one best views of New York City. The neighborhood is also a manufacturing powerhouse and contains a fascinating array of factories-a reminder that we actually still make things. Head up the street to Kofte Piyaz for some of the best Turkish food. Yes, many of the folks here are brown, as my wife and I are, but you are so much safer here, as no one targets this area, as it is not a touristy or trendy area, as such areas are marred by far more muggings. I am a teacher and my wife is a lawyer. We love it here. So, step out of the bubble and explore Sunset Park, a slice of real NYC. And, btw, a major opera company just moved to Sunset Park. I realize this is more about my nabe, but it needed to be said.

This museum is small but worth stopping in. There is a small fee to enter the museum and there is a gift shop that you can browse through for no charge. The museum displays mostly Civil War related items as well as those pertaining to the history of the town itself. If you are in the area, stop by for a half hour or so. Good to stroll the museum on a hot day and enjoy the A.C.

My wife and I along with another couple did an "end to end" of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Tuggles Gap was a stop for breakfast one morning south bound. The food and service was so awesome and the motel from outside looks "quaint" so the woman decided they wanted to stay here on the way back north.

Thinking about renting a Virginia vacation home for your next trip? A beach vacation may be ideal for your family. Spend a weekend or a few days in Virginia Beach— a very popular place for tourists. Walk around Virginia Beach’s three-mile boardwalk and see music festivals, street performers, and art work. Play in the sand, surf the waves, and catch some rays. Visit the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the False Cape State Park. Go hiking, canoeing, and biking in the pristine Back Bay ar
Sub-tropical air will take over the summers as tourists come in and out of Virginia. Expect temperatures to be in the 80-100 range – perfect beach weather. Summers are often hot, but winters are cool with temperatures ranging in the 30’s. The spring can be a pleasant time to visit with moderate temperatures with lows in the 40s and highs in the 70s. The fall can be a good time to getaway as well where you can beat the crowd and score great deals! | http://www.triprental.com/search/reSearch/region:virginia/rate:5000 | 2013-05-18T10:21:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Back to base!
Drive details:
- Total distance on the trip meter : 1692 Kms
- Never drove beyond 10pm on any day [Avoided night-drives on unfamiliar roads]
- Road conditions : around 60% good, 30% acceptable & 10% bad [Bad stretches mainly between Hornadu - Sringeri, on Agumbe Ghats, between Hubli & Badami]
- Assumed that the average speed would be around 45kmph on country roads/state-highways and 65kmph on the NHs and planned the destinations accordingly.
Things to watch-out for while driving:
- Unmarked speed breakers on the highways, before and after every village or town limit.
- Seriously bad roads, potholes and craters! on the SK Border – Sringeri stretch, Agumbe Ghats.
- Mofussil buses, Shared autos, Mini-trucks who seem to get this urge to stop suddenly without warning.
- Trucks on NH4, NH17, NH48, NH63 & NH13, who decide to execute sharp overtaking maneuvers just when you are about to pass by.
- Jeeps / Cabs / Buses who like to play chicken when there is no road-shoulder for you to move on to.
- Sign-posts that are hidden behind vegetation, covered with posters or just non-existent. (Whenever you come to or cross a fork in the road with no sign-boards, stop and ask someone!)
Other comments:
- The route is quite ‘family friendly’ with decent accommodation and food options in all the places where we stayed overnight.
- Sleeping bags are recommended, since you will not have to worry about the cleanliness of the bed-linen, just spread your sleeping bags on the hotel beds. (Or carry your own bedsheets)
- Bottled water (Bisleri, Kinley or local brands) is available through-out.
- Eat light, stick to ‘tried and tested’ and well cooked stuff like Idly / Dosa / Rice & rasam etc.
- Buy fresh bananas for a quick bite to eat during the day while exploring and chocolates for munching during the drives.
- Carry a couple of tubes of Odomos mosquito repellant cream, else you might end up with a case of severe blood-loss by morning
- The usual first-aid kit with some disinfectant, cotton, Electral, Band-Aid strips, pain-killers is recommended.
- Floaters are good for walking around in most places, Sneakers for any trekking / climbing.
- We came across SBI ATMs in most small towns on the way, as long as you have a Visa/Mastercard, cash should not be a problem.
- We found that Airtel does not work in places like Kollur, Hornadu etc. A BSNL sim card should be useful if you need to stay in touch.
- Avoid small and decrepit petrol stations and whenever you find a decent one, get a full-tank. [By making sure that you tank-up before the half-way mark, you are averaging out the quality of fuel, just in case the fuel quality is bad.]
- Carrying a torch, toolkit and a tube-less puncture repair kit with a foot-pump is a safe bet.
- When there are multiple routes to a destination, ask a couple of locals (bus/auto/truck drivers) for the best route. The shortest route may not always be the best of roads.
The prelude…
Both of us had leaves that had to be exhausted before the year end and we planned to take the time off during the last week of December 08. We would have a block of holidays starting from Saturday the 27th Dec 08 up to Sunday 4th Jan 09.
The previous week…
“So, what plans for the New year’s eve?”
“Let me plan something… you fancy Goa or Pondy or something else?”
“I’ll go with the ‘Something else’, Goa & Pondy will be too crowded”
“Ok… how about heading down south? I haven’t seen Tanjore, Kumbakonam, Madurai etc. we can drive all the way down to Kanyakumari and cover quite a few places enroute?”
“Well, mom wanted to go to Tanjore, Chidambaram etc. so it would be nice to plan that trip when they come to Bangalore”
“Ok… let me think over it for a couple of days and we’ll come up with the ‘something else’”
Vacation plans were being discussed by colleagues and friends… and someone mentioned about going to the Annapoorneshwari temple in Hornadu. I had been to Hornadu with my parents around 20 years ago and I had vague memories of an old tile roofed temple set in a green valley, I remember the driver asking us all to get down at a couple of places where we had to ford across a stream… and I remembered being served hot and tasty food in the temple verandah. It would be nice to go back there again.
“Hey, I propose going to Hornadu, its been quite a while since either of us have gone there, so why not Hornadu, Sringeri and other places nearby. Winter is a good time to drive around in Dakshina Kannada”
“I did go to Dharmasthala & Kukke early this year remember?… so skip those”
“Ok, let me find what are the other places around Hornadu and Sringeri that are worth visiting and I’ll chart out a trip”
“Sounds like a good plan!”
Spent a few hours over the next two days poring over various websites.
While searching around for places to be seen around Sringeri and their distances, I came across this webpage:.
The page mentioned distances from Kollur to Sringeri, Gokarna, Murudeshwar. Hmmm! interesting… where did I put the Karnataka road map.
Initial thought was to cover all the places around Sringeri – Kollur areas, take the coastal stretch till Gokarna, reach Hubli via Ankola and then NH4 all the way back to Bangalore. I noticed ‘Badami’ was a little further up from Hubli…
I had been to Badami once as a kid and Sangeetha had never been to that area… so why not cover that too? with Bijapur and Hampi almost equidistant from Badami, I opted for Hampi.
Having spent quite some time in Davanagere, I have been to Chitradurga 4 to 5 times during my school and college days and whenever we drove past the fort on NH4, I would remark to Sangeetha that I’ll take her there sometime. Since it lay on the way back to Bangalore, I decided to include that too… googled around for the distances between all the places, noted down the ‘must see’ spots for each location, checked out holidayiq and other sites for accommodation options and got the final plan approved
starting the count down to the 27th…
Day 1 – Saturday 27th Dec 08
Bangalore > Hassan > Chikmagalur > Kalasa > Hornadu
The original plan was to wind up early on Friday and hit the road by 5.00am on Saturday. But both of us got held up till late by office work and by the time we came back, finished the last minute packing etc. it was close to midnight. So decided to get atleast 6 hours of sleep and hit the road at 7.00am sharp.
Rolled out at 7.00 as planned from home on Airport road and I opted to take the NICE roads from Hosur road all the way till Tumkur road. Two reasons for this; one was to avoid the inner city traffic and mainly to get some smooth tarmac to see if the car had any alignment or balancing problems.
I had got a full service done recently, but wasn’t sure if the balancing had been done correctly. Pushed the speedo all the way up to 140kmph, car was running true, with no vibrations. Good! Reached Nelamangala by around 8.00am, turned towards Hassan.
First pit stop at Kunigal for breakfast. I just stopped at the first decent looking hotel in town with a couple of cars standing in front. Had some ‘not so good’ idlis and continued ahead. We noticed quite a few better hotels just after Kunigal… would have been better to stop at one of those.
The first of the many many Nariyal-Pani stops over the next 7 days…
Initial plan was lunch at Hornadu and Dinner & stay in Sringeri, but due to the 7.00am start, we were close to Chikmagalur at lunchtime. Decided to have lunch in Chickmagalur and stopped over at ‘Planters Court’. Saw these two old gentlemen displayed in front; one is a BSA, not sure what the green one is…
As we move up into the hills, it starts getting greener and cooler…
Stopped for a quick bio break along the way and noticed this green fella in the grass, practically invisible! He hopped onto a wall before I could click…
One of the many rivers and streams that we would cross over the next few days…
Caught a glimpse of some white-water in one of the valleys, walked down a bit to see the first waterfall of the trip…
The gopuram at Kalasa…
The Kalaseshwara temple. Had a quick darshan, a walk around the temple and moved on…
Reached Hornadu by around 5.00pm and it was crowded!!!, thanks to the weekend rush. The Annapoorneshwari temple had grown and changed beyond what I remembered… the quaint tile roofed temple complex was hidden behind the modern concrete accommodation and dining halls. The old-style entrance arch was renovated into a new structure… there were a lot many buildings around and the valley was much less greener than what I remembered. Well, the price of popularity I guess.
There were scores of vehicles parked all around and many more were pouring in. We parked close to the temple and headed to the temple accommodation only to find it completely booked. There was a waiting list for rooms and we got WL number 32. The person at the counter mentioned that rooms might get vacated at around 9.30pm and 10.30pm when the RTC buses leave from Hornadu, we should come back and check at around 8.30pm. Walked around to the nearest lodges and found them either fully booked or only 5 to 8 sleeper family rooms available.
“Should we finish darshan and proceed to Sringeri? Looks like there might be a problem with the accommodation. But since we have to have the prasadam meals which starts at 7.00pm, we will be here till 7.30pm atleast”
“If Hornadu is crowded, Sringeri might be too, let us halt here tonight. Also, you said that the road to Sringeri might not be good for night-driving? Let us first finish darshan and then worry about what next”
"Ok Ma’am, let me get a towel"
(Guys have to take off their shirts before entering the sanctum, as a mark of humility, you can put a towel around your shoulders though.)
Had a good darshan of Annapoorneshwari, proceeded to the prasadam meals hall and had a hot and ‘quick’ dinner. The temple folk at Hornadu, Sringeri, Dharmasthala have perfected the process of serving 1000s of meals every day, into a smooth and streamlined operation. All enter, plates and glasses, round 1, round 2, round 3 and all out! Not more than 15 minutes for an entire batch of a few hundreds.
Walked back to the accommodation to find that the WL was cleared upto WL-5. With more than an hour to go till the next bus left at 9.30pm, we just decided to wait in the car.
Lowered the front seats fully, put the pillows we had carried on the head-rest, lowered the windows a little and snoozed off for a while.
I woke up at 9.30pm and found that the waiting list had moved only till WL-11. I decided to check with nearby lodges again and found a double room available at the ‘Devi’ lodge a little further from the temple. Not the best of places, but the room had a clean loo and a place to spread our sleeping bags, all that we wanted. Parked in the area behind the lodge, freshened up, set the alarm for 5.30 and logged out for the night. (Hot water is available only from around 6.00am, so no point waking up too early)
Annaporneshwari temple; took this pic the next morning from the balcony of the ‘Devi’ lodge room, without any zoom. Now you get an idea of how far the lodge is from the temple… and its location in context of the temple.

Live and Breathe the Fire of Spain
When people think of Spain, it's usually Seville and its environs that comes to mind. Barcelona may be more cosmopolitan, and Madrileños may live faster, but Seville exudes an undeniable charm that is distinctly Spanish. This is the home of flamenco and bullfighting, classic images of Spain's romance and grandeur. This is the city to which people flock during the huge festivals of Semana Santa and Feria de abril, with processions and wild celebrations that are among the most rousing in all of Europe. This is the city where the maze of streets in the Santa Cruz neighborhood hides tapas bar after tapas bar, all against a stunning backdrop of sights: the Catedral, the third largest in the world, and the Alcázar, a Moorish-inspired palace used by the Spanish king and queen to this day. And the huge student population guarantees not only a vibrant nightlife but also prices that are among the most reasonable in all of Spain. Go to Barcelona for art, go to Madrid for the big-city feel, but to soak up the finest in Spanish culture at budget prices, go to Seville. | http://www.tripwolf.com/en/guide/show/4088/Spain/Sevilla | 2013-05-18T10:52:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Carthage, IL – A convergence hearing for three Hancock County school districts has been delayed until Dec. 8. A Committee of Ten from the Carthage, LaHarpe and Dallas City school districts hopes to convince voters to form a single high school district, with an elementary district remaining in each town. The hearing before the Regional Board of School Trustees was delayed to to an error in the publication of the hearing notice. Committee member Pat Dietrich says members of her group and the general public will be invited to speak at the hearing...
Keokuk, IA – Several communities within the Tri State region are looking for grant money to upgrade their sewer systems. Keokuk is applying for a $520,000 state grant to remove and replace the Bank Street Lift Station. Public Works Director Bill Richards says the station is nearly 50 years old and is in need or repairs. He says the city would also use the money to eliminate 3 combined sewer overflows from the Victory Park area. Keokuk's local match would be $100,000 dollars.
Macomb, IL – The students at Project Insight have designed and created a mandala, which is a geometric symbol of the universe. The piece is on the resurfaced asphalt behind the Project Insight building in Macomb. Student Shasha Guilliams says it will provide a perfect outlet for stress. Project Insight is part of the West-Central Special Education Cooperative. It provides low-incident services for students from five counties.

At the Jan. 10 North Greenbush Town Board meeting, questions were asked of the five-person Town Board as to whether Councilman Lou Desso had requested a payment of $10,000 annually to serve in a purely ministerial position as deputy town supervisor.
Despite numerous efforts to get someone of the board to either deny or acknowledge that Mr. Desso was lobbying them for approval of this additional compensation, not one board member would say a word. Long silences followed each question as board members refused to deny an effort by Mr. Desso to be paid for a position which has never been funded with a salary, primarily because it entails virtually no work other than to chair a Town Board meeting in the absence of the Supervisor.
When Mr. Desso himself was asked whether he had requested such a payment be approved by his fellow board members, he too joined the silent movie cast in refusing to answer the question of whether he had requested an annual $10,000 salary for this unfunded title.
Town residents are likely aware that Mr. Desso was recently appointed to a county job as deputy commissioner of public health at $81,000 annually. He had to resign from the county Legislature to take this position but has thus far declined to resign from the Town Board despite the likelihood that holding a partisan political office may violate the federal Hatch Act. It is noteworthy that Mr. Desso is likely the first person without a college degree to hold such a position in the county Mental Health Department. He would also become the first person ever to be paid a salary as a deputy supervisor in North Greenbush proving that connections count.

UPS is an acronym for United Parcel Service, which is a parcel delivery company that is headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia, United States. The brown vans owned by this company, which have a stamp of UPS in fine gold across the back, are widely known around the world. The trucks, which are usually referred to as package cars, are operated in many countries across the world. These trucks are also known for their well dressed drivers who have been trained and are expected to perform at particular levels of professionalism. The company estimates that it delivers up to 15 million packages daily to an ever growing customer base. In fact, UPS has a presence in about 220 countries in the world and has its own airline service that provides quicker overseas transport. At UPS, the salary of a driver usually depends on the hours that have been worked, the benefits due and the level of seniority. On average, the salary of a driver in this company can range from $72,000 to $130,000 or more.
Fedex on the other hand is an equally widely acclaimed transportation service. It is a package delivery service who major clients are businesses across the world. With a fleet of vehicles and deadlines to meet, Fedex uses the most specialised and skilled drivers in the market. The average salary of a fedex driver is $46,000. However, the actual amount that a driver receives is determined by the location of the company, the benefits due and the level of experience that a driver has.
The process of becoming an employee of UPS or Fedex
Often, most of the people who end up as drivers start off as part time employees. Typically, these people are attached to package handling and they get to experience firsthand, the requirements of the job, before they can apply for it. Some of the requirements that this job need as include:
Absence of a criminal record – the handling of packages is a sensitive matter since clients entrust the delivery company with a variety of products. As such, it is important that the employees of these companies can be trusted. The absence of a criminal record is simply the first step in the qualification process.
Drug and physical tests – before you are employed, you will be required to pass a drug and physical test at the company’s facilities. These tests are aimed at maintaining the integrity of the people applying for these jobs and ensuring that they are physically capable of handling the pressure of the job.
Literacy – reading and writing of English, often fluently is a requirement for these jobs. This is because the clients that the drivers interact with need to be able to communicate with the drivers properly. As such, these firms will most likely require that you have a GED or High School Diploma.
Valid driver’s licence – it goes without saying that a valid driver’s license is required for a driving job. You should also have a clean driving record, usually for a period of at least 5 years or more. It is also necessary for you to demonstrate that you can drive a manual transmission vehicle comfortably and for a long distance in case it is required. Some positions may even require very special licences that will be specified once an opening comes up.
Age – often, the people between the ages of 21 and 25 are preferred since they are younger and more energetic. However, some of the jobs may require people with more experience thus the need for more mature drivers. However, it is important to consider the age limitations that the position may have.
Demeanour – as an employee, you will be portraying the image of the company and it is important that you portray a good attitude. You should also be clean shaven, usually without tattoos and piercings as described by the company. The image that you portray as an employee of the firm, goes a long way in determining if the clients are satisfied with the job or not.
After the requirements have been met, you can apply for these jobs in a variety of ways. Often, most of the job openings are posted on the official website of the company. Once you notice a job opening that you are suited for, you could either apply online or visit one of the offices to drop your application. If your application is deemed to successful, you will be invited for an interview, where your abilities and capacity will be determined. The interviews can take many forms, from practical tests to written and oral examinations. As such, you should be well prepared for the interview both physically and mentally. Since the jobs in these two firms are very competitive, you may be required to come with a picture ID and proof of eligibility to work during your interviews. This also authenticates your application and moves you a step closer to being an employee of UPS or Fedex.
It is important to note that Fedex usually outsources some of its operations to other contractors, which means that you may be called up to be a driver by one of the contractors who work for Fedex. By proxy, you will be an employee of Fedex; however, you immediate employer may someone else. This does not in any way diminish the level of professionalism that is expected of you. This is because the contractors are held to a code of professionalism and conduct. The same code is expected to be taken down to their employees. On the other hand, UPS normally sources their drivers from the part-time freight handlers that are in their employ. These part-time freight handlers are usually promoted to full time employs and then to driver’s after they have learned the job. The drivers are also required to pass a six day training course that is mandatory for driving UPS vehicles

Nieder mit dem Bolschewismus
1919 German Political PosterPolitical propaganda with imagination: the allegorical German citizen struggles with the asphyxiating serpent of bolshevism. The powerful statement is made by the Austrian-born painter, graphic artist and poet who joined the staff of the radical paper Sturm in Berlin in 1910, and remained politically active throughout his long life. | http://www.trueartworks.com/poster.php/0000-0984 | 2013-05-18T10:21:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Sukie
Thanks to Print & Pattern I’ve been turned on to lots of amazing stuff, like British shoppe Sukie. They don’t make yardage, but just think of their silkscreened handkerchiefs and dishtowels as fabric with hems.

’m making a tote for my friend this Christmas.
I have made a bag for my friend. All done and even wrapped. WOOHOO!
I’m making my favorite letter-”writing” preschooler a kitted-out mail bag. I’ve heard so much about this magazine. Fingers crossed, and thanks for your generosity!
I’m making a pair of lounge pants for a friend. I’d better get to work–I wanted to give them to her tomorrow!
I am making matching pajamas for families. Just finished a set for family of four and have two more sets for families of 5 and one set for family of 4. And I’m not even freaking out yet. Would love to win this magazine.
Nothing to major, I’m planning on making some ornaments & book marks.
I have been making some gnome ornaments to give to my parents and brother. I am lusting over the skirt on the front of this magazine!!
I’ve finished 2 of Amy Butler’s Birdie Slings and am part of the way through the color wheel quilt from Last-Minute Patchwork Gifts. I have many more projects to go, but to have something finished at the beginning of December seems like a victory. I love the skirt on the cover of Stitch–the button pleats are amazing!
i am making a set of fabric market totes for almost everyone on my list!! the others will get knit hats and scrufflers–my scarf/muffler hybrid!
I’ve finished knitting a few washcloths to go with handmade soap.Next on the list is 3 or 4 sets of fingerless gloves.
I’d love this magazine.Thanks for the contest!
Oh…. I just realized that though I had that magazine in my hands today at the LQS, I must have set it down somewhere in my shopping/fondling of fabrics, as it’s not in my bag, nor on the bill.
Lets see…I’ve made 2 toddler messenger bags, a portrait of my sister’s dog, and some crocheted bookmarks. I haven’t decided everything I am making, but I do need to make a couple purses, some sleep masks, lounge pants, drawstring bags, and a plushie.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this magazine!

[REPLY]
I always buy my Kerastase products from Active Beauty as they are always competitively priced and a very fast delivery service. Thank you Active Beauty
I always use Active Beauty for hair care products. Good, competitive prices and so far have always had what I wanted in stock. I'm often browsing on their site as there is such a good choice of products. Delivery has always been within a few days too. I've already recommended Active Beauty to friends and will continue to do so.
Excellent range
Best prices for Kerastase and consistently great delivery. Love em!
Very satisfied with products bought at Active Beauty. Fast shipping as I live in IOM. Will recommend to friends and family.
Such a great website to get discounts on really fab high end products. Always arrives really quickly too!
Package arrived promptly , well packaged
I order my Kerastase products from Active Beauty. The prices are competitive and they deliver in a few days.
the products, service and postage from Active Beauty is impressive, delivering quality products at fantastic prices. i have no reservations in reccomending this to any beauty shopper out there
I love activebeauty. The website is easy to navigate and they always have great offers!! They have all the products I want and they are always I stock. I don't ever purchase premium hair care from anywhere else!
very friendly and good customer service that reply fast, would highly recommend to anyone
I have been ordering thigns from Beauty Active for a couple of years now. I find the prices are comparable to other companies, and the postage is often free. It takes the hassle out of shopping for those specific beauty brands that some shops only stock at certain times of the year.
In the three years I have been using this site, there has never been a stock issue, or a mistake with any of my orders. I also get the items I want, at the best price.
I found Activebeauty.co.uk great. They have loads of products I use and they always send a sample with my order. Their customer service is really good. When I ordered an incorrect item, they received them back with no quibbles and sent out my correct items really quickly. I always order from Activebeauty.co.uk now!
Previous orders have been fine but unfortunately my recent purchase, Kerastase Shampoo, had a faulty top and so there was some leakage.
I have ordered from active beauty several times now. Prices are competitive, ordering is easy and delivery is prompt. Very pleased.
I have ordered a number of items from active beauty over the last year or more. I have absolutely no complaints about their product choice or service. Items are well packaged and arrive as expected. They deliver very good value for money for top premium products. I will continue to use them and recommend them to others.
I have used this company before and will continue to do so. Cheaper then anywhere else and fast delivery. More then happy!
Very disappointed as 10 days later and my order still has not arrived
I cannot think of a way in which Activebeauty could be improved. They have an excellent range of products at great prices and I have always received exactly what I ordered in a very short time.
Lovely product, good price and fast delivery :-)
Good prices and products always arrive as ordered and on time.
Ordered Kerastase shampoo and conditioner. Compared prices this site cheapest. Arrived promptly. Would use again.
very happy, nice promotions, quick delivery
Product was received just a few days after ordering. Excellent service and great price. Will definitely use again.
I bought Kerastase shampoo at a brill-i-ant price and got brill-i-ant service too!! The low price included postage & packaging and my items arrived quickly. I can highly recommend both the product as well as Active Beauty. I will definitely shop here again!
Well designed site so you can see the products you are looking for. Good service with quick delivery.
Excellent discounts ... Easy to use site ... Free delivery ... Fab ....
As you cannot get the Kerastase products anywhere but the local hairdresser, they cost a small fortune. I was introduced to Beauty Active by my daughter, after sending a small order to you, I was amazed at how quickly it arrived, and it saved me a bit of money too!
I have been one of your customers now for must be two years or more and I will certainly remain loyal to you.
Well done Beauty Active! keep up the good work and thank you .
I've not used this website before but really pleased to see them selling Mavala products in larger sizes and some products which aren't always available on the high street. Really chuffed with free postage from Guernsey and the free sample of Kerastase hair masque.
I always buy from activebeauty. The speed of delivery and customer service is second to none.
It was by accident I came across this Site, but it appeared to offer many products to enhance skin and hair without being overly expensive. Bought a thickening blow-dry lotion by L'Oreal for my thinning hair and it made it look thicker while keeping it soft. Very pleased.
I hadn't used the site before but definitely will be again. reliable service and easy to use, and the result is a great product!
Always a quick delivery and well packaged.
Good services and good prices.
Activebeauty is my only choice when it comes to buying professional haircare. One can find here a wide range of beauty products.
I made my order 30.04.13. I haven't got it still! I made order in frownIes.co.uk 01.05.13 and have got my order 06.05.13.
Great products ,great prices ,easy to view and free post x packaging over certain value, will purchase again love the dermalogica eye creams and vitamin power capsules
After a week I have not even received the goods yet and you actually ask me for a review.
Excellent service. Highly recommend
Best prices online, free delivery, good packaging and swift delivery, what more could you ask for! | http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.activebeauty.co.uk | 2013-05-18T10:14:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Ordered a jacket which arrived ripped and leaking its feather lining. Sent it back and got a refund but wasn't happy about having to pay the costs of returning the item. Have written numerous emails to customer services (there is no phone number) to ask about them refunding these costs but had absolutely no reply. After looking into this, it seems it is common practice for this company to simply ignore customer enquiries of this nature. I have been left out of pocket through no fault of my own and will never use this company again.
The amp I bought was the cheapest anywhere online and it arrived the day after I ordered.
Not for the first time with this cowboy outfit have I found that they have not rung my bell, despite the fact that I waited at home the entire day to take a collection. Each time I have had to drive an hour round trip to the 'local' collection office to pick it up myself. Appalling service.
Cheapest place on the internet for the product I wanted. Fast, efficient delivery with tracking.

I'll make this long story short, I moved house last year and phoned CW to get my final bill as that contract was ending, paid what in good faith I was told was the full and final bill. Moved house, sometime later discovered that they had placed a default against me for £14.73, paid it straight away, and as an existing customer explained that I wasn't aware of this recalculation as I has moved address. Although I have written, called and explained my error they still show no discretion. I have told them I won't be coming back as a customer next month when my contact ends and they don't care. I have been refused a mortgage on the basis of this default I repeat for £14.73, this default stays against my name for 6 years! What is wrong with them that they can casually ruin someone's credit and that of their family for an honest oversight. I'm tired and lost for words. If anyone out there has any suggestions I would be very grateful, as I naively though common sense would prevail.

Good service. Not the quickest delivery this Xmas season but was a large parcel and courier'd. No contact from the company at all after order. Would have been nice to know estimated delivery date and told when it was despatched. This was the reason for 4 stars not 5.

Playoff heroics continue to come from unexpected places. Friday night, it was Steve Downie continuing his hot streak for Tampa Bay, and seldom-used Benn Ferriero getting the overtime winner in San Jose.
WASHINGTON-TAMPA BAYThe Lightning attack was once again paced by Steve Downie, yes Steve Downie, who had a goal and an assist and a plus-2 rating, giving him a total of eight points and a plus-7 in the last four games.
Downie's tremendous production is even more impressive when considering how little he's actually playing. In Game One against Washington, it was just 11:46, so now Tampa Bay's leading playoff scorer is averaging a mere 10:28 of ice time per game.
Not only is Downie giving the Lightning complementary scoring, but so too is Sean Bergenheim, who scored the game's first goal. Bergenheim now has four goals and an assist during a five-game point streak.
It wasn't all muckers and grinders for the Lightning. The winning goal came off the stick of Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier also chipped in a pair of assists.
The Lightning also lost a couple of players to injuries and will require further evaluation. Left winger Simon Gagne left early in the game after hitting his head on the ice and defenceman Pavel Kubina left after getting his head banged against the glass behind the Tampa Bay net. Both have played significant roles, so if they are to miss time, it will affect the Lightning lineup.
Just as importantly, on the other side, Washington's John Carlson is considered day-to-day with a lower body injury. Carlson was limited to 14:39 Friday night because of the injury, but entering the series, he was one second per game behind team leader Scott Hannan, who had averaged 25:11 per game.
Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth starred in Round One, posting a .946 save percentage, but was not as sharp (or lucky -- there was a lot of goal-mouth scramble action on Tampa Bay's goals) in this game.
Alexander Ovechkin was limited to two shots in 22:38 of ice time, while Nicklas Backstrom did record five shots. While holding Backstrom off the scoresheet seems to be getting easier by the game (he has one assist in six playoff games this season), credit should go to veteran defencemen Eric Brewer and Mattias Ohlund, who matched up against Ovechkin and Backstrom the most at even strength.
It wasn't the prettiest game, but it was just what the Lightning needed to start the series off right and steal home-ice advantage.
SAN JOSE-DETROITSeated comfortably in the press box (or in the AHL; he had played one NHL game since February 5 before Friday night), Benn Ferriero scored at 7:03 of overtime to give the Sharks a 1-0 lead in the series.
Ferriero played just 5:33 for the entire game -- only Ben Eager played less among the 36 skaters involved -- but emerged as the difference-maker in Game One.
Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard stood tall in goal for Detroit, stopping 44 of 46 Sharks shots and both San Jose goals were of the unusual variety.
Ferriero's winner deflected off defenceman Brad Stuart's stick on the way to the net while Joe Pavelski spoiled Howard's shutout bid midway through the third period, showing excellent hand-eye coordination to bat a rebound out of mid-air to tie the game.
Only once this season did Howard register more than 44 saves in a game; he stopped 45 Rangers shots in an early February win.
Detroit's Johan Franzen had no shots on goal in 15:32 of ice time.
In Henrik Zetterberg's first game of the postseason, he played 19:36 and was plus-1.
San Jose's Patrick Marleau logged 26:51 to lead all forwards, a total he surpassed twice all season, yet managed just one shot on goal and was minus-1.
The win moved the Sharks to 4-0 in overtime in this year's playoffs. Considering they've won five games total, they're pulling quite the highwire act, one that's not likely to continue.
Even if the 1993 Montreal Canadiens (winners of 10 overtime games on their way to the Cup) disagree, probability does not side with winning game after game in sudden-death overtime. Those Habs were the exception that proves the rule.
In any case, the Sharks rallied for a much-needed opening win and nearly outshot the Wings by a 2:1 margin, finishing 46-25 for the... | http://www.tsn.ca/blogs/scott_cullen/?id=364142 | 2013-05-18T10:15:36 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
CALGARY -- The Calgary Flames have signed defenceman Mark Giordano to a five-year contract extension.
Terms of the contract were not released, however ESPN.com is reporting that Giordano will earn $4.02 million a season under the terms of the deal.
The six-foot, 203-pound defender from Toronto is in his fourth season with the Flames, who signed him as a free agent on July 6, 2004.
Giordano had career highs last season in games played (82), goals (11), assists (19) and points (30). He has three assists this season and is third in the NHL in blocked shots with 26.
His salary this season is US$1.075 million. Giordano was due to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
Giordano has 20 goals and 48 assists for 68 points and 193 penalty minutes in 205 career. | http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=339141 | 2013-05-18T11:03:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
ANAHEIM, Calif. - One fortuitous and timely bounce turned a game around for the Anaheim Ducks and resulted in the first regulation loss of the season for the San Jose Sharks.
Saku Koivu scored the tying goal early in the third period, defenceman Los Angeles centre Tommy Wingels attempted a clearing pass around the boards in his end, but didn't get the puck to defenceman defence, defenceman Toni Lydman. Couture pounced on the rebound and backhanded in a shot for his sixth goal in eight games. Winnik from the right circle, and Andrew Cogliano had an open net on the rebound.

Johnny Veselka named TSPRA's 2009 Key Communicator
The Texas School Public Relations Association (TSPRA) Professional Awards Committee has chosen Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) Executive Director, Dr. Johnny Veselka, as the association’s 2009 Key Communicator. The Key Communicator Awards recognizes Dr. Veselka’s outstanding contributions to public education through effective communications. He has worked diligently for Texas public schools since he joined the staff of TASA in 1974.
When TSPRA officers began the “Key Communicator” Award in 1982, the selection committee noted that Dr. Veselka helped make the “Key Communicator” Award an even more prestigious honor by announcing the recipient during the TASA-TASB state conference. Twenty-seven years later, it remains a major component of the TASA-TASB Convention, thanks in part to his support.
Since he joined TASA in 1974, Dr. Veselka has been a strong proponent of TSPRA and TASA. For example, in the past two years, he has led the “partnership” of getting both organizations to house at TASA headquarters. He is a strong believer in building partnerships, maintaining open communications and addressing legislative issues that will help students succeed. He is known throughout the state for being a Texas leader who facilitates positive change for public school
Under his leadership as executive director, TASA has become a major voice for school administrators on legislative issues and state policy matters, enhancing the leadership role of administrators in the state’s public schools. TASA has also initiated and continues to expand its services in governmental relations, leadership development, communications and public relations, research and planning, technology leadership development, and other areas vital to the effective and efficient administration of Texas public schools.
Commenting on Dr. Veselka’s advocacy for Texas school children, Dr. John M. Folks, superintendent of Northside ISD, said, “ Perhaps most important is Dr. Veselka’s ability to bring the state’s various education organizations together so that they can speak with one voice for public education. Considering the differing political agendas, this is an almost impossible task, but because Dr. Veselka is so highly respected and well-versed on school issues, he is able to reach a consensus.”
In his letter of support, Dr. Thomas Randle, superintendent of Lamar Consolidated ISD, said, “Dr. Veselka has worked tirelessly to improve Texas public schools through his work with business executives and educational leaders. His work with the Visioning Institute, a collaborative with SHW and 35 superintendents resulted in a white paper entitled ‘Creating a New Vision for Public Education in Texas.’ This work will soon inspire others towards the common goal of making public schools better for all Texas children.”
Dr. Veselka will receive the Key Communicator Award at at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 3, 2009, during the Second General Session of the TASA/TASB Annual Convention. The convention will be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.. Some of the past winners include: Carolyn Boyle, former Coordinator of the Texas Coalition for Public Schools; Jack Christie, former Chairman, State Board of Education; Leslie and Scott Milder, Friends of Texas Public Schools; David Thompson, Attorney, currently with Thompson and Horton, L.L.P.; and Annell Todd, Publisher Emeritus, Texas School Business and former TSPRA Executive Director.
Nancy Porter of Fort Bend ISD chairs the 2009 Professional Awards selection committee, which includes: Marco Alvarado, Lake Travis ISD; Sharon Cox, Denton ISD; Pascual Gonzalez, Northside ISD; Carol Vaughn, Harris County Department of Education; and Christy Willman, Lamar CISD.
