A good case for investing in winePosted on: 14 January 2010 by Mark O'haire
Sam Gleave, sales director at fine wine merchant Bordeaux Index, explains how you can turn a passion for wine into an astute investment.
Investment in wine is nothing new. For centuries chateaux, merchants and private investors have traded in fine wines, and made money from it.
Fine wine is a resilient asset and, much like diamonds or gold, is seen as a safe haven and most beneficial to those with a long term view. Over the last quarter of a century it has proved to be a consistently stable, high yielding and low risk investment, and records show that fine wine has remained generally unaffected by stock market fluctuations and interest rate changes.
Unlike other investment vehicles, wine improves with age. A good vintage becomes highly sought-after, and the higher the demand the more investors will pay.
How to get started
Anyone who has a passion or interest in fine wine can invest, from a case of your favourite Bordeaux to a cellar stocked with thousands of bottles.
The first piece of advice is do your research. Read books and wine columns in newspapers and wine publications, and ask your wine merchant for help.
Next, decide how much you want to initially spend. Anything between £3,000 and £5,000 will get your cellar off to a good start, and ensure you get a number of top quality wines that will give you some healthy returns.
Red Bordeaux is always a good and safe starting point, though red Burgundy can be a shrewd investment too. Make sure you've explored different vintages, as some are better than others. The vintage year will also indicate when to open a bottle, and how long it should be left to mature.
Buying en primeur
En primeur is a way of buying young, sought-after wines before they are bottled, and usually means paying less, though delivery will be one to two years after payment. This practice is most common with Bordeaux wines and takes place every spring.
Buying in bond
Buying wine in bond means the price excludes duty and VAT, and that is has not passed through customs and officially entered the UK. Wine in bond can be stored in bonded warehouses until it is exported or taken out for drinking.
Storing wines at home
If you plan to store your wines at home you'll need to create the perfect environment, in terms of light, temperature and humidity. You may also need to check that your contents insurance covers your wines. A larger collection may require you to take out a stand-alone insurance.
Bonded warehouses
For total peace of mind you may want to consider warehouse storage. Bordeaux Index offers storage facilities which provide the perfect environment for your wines. Our warehouse is fully insured, and has the added benefit of storing your wines 'in bond', so you can defer paying duty and VAT. Clients are also offered a secure login service for those who wish to view their 'cellars' online.
Wine diary
No matter what size your wine collection, it's always a good idea to keep a wine log or diary. This should include the original price, storage history, the wine region and chateaux. You could even add your own tasting notes.
For more information about investing in fine wine and for details of storage facilities contact Bordeaux Index on +44 (0) 20 7269 0703 or visit www.bordeauxindex.com.
Bordeaux Index – wine selection simplified
Bordeaux Index is one of the largest fine wine merchants in Europe, and prides itself on its no-nonsense, unstuffy approach to wine selection.
Passionate about only the finest, high-quality wines, Bordeaux Index has excellent contacts throughout the world, and can source the rarest, most sought-after wines. Every client receives a first-class, personalised service, from recommendations on the best wines for drinking, to in-depth market analysis and advice on investment.
Always keen to look to the future, Bordeaux Index has recently launched a revolutionary two-way trading platform - LiveTrade, a first in the world of fine wine trading.

Anritsu and RainStor Partner to Address Big Data Challenges Associated With Managing Communication NetworksJoint Solution Reduces Infrastructure Costs by Over 80 Percent While Delivering Faster Analytics (February 27, 2012)
SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/12 -- O'REILLY STRATA CONFERENCE -- RainStor, a provider of Big Data management software, has formed an OEM partnership with Anritsu A/S, a global provider of Operations Support Systems (OSS) for advanced and converged networks. RainStor's Big Data management capabilities enhance Anritsu's Service Assurance products with a market-leading database that collects stores and analyzes huge volumes of communications data while simultaneously slashing storage, compute and operational costs. With RainStor, Anritsu's products now offer unique data management capabilities, helping customers to reduce infrastructure cost while ensuring they retain the detailed data required to improve business insight and deliver enhanced service quality.
The ongoing boom in mobile data traffic created the requirement for faster response times and more cost effective ways to handle the volume of detailed information being generated by Anritsu's Masterclaw monitoring system. Anritsu immediately looked for an innovative solution to ensure that its customers could retain this critical detail for as long as they wanted to without having to invest in unreasonable levels of infrastructure in order to run the database.
"It's not the growth in calls or SMSs that is driving data volumes but the massive increase in mobile Internet access," said Neil Tomlinson, Director, Product Management at Anritsu A/S. "It's the proliferation of smart phones and tablets that's moving mobile browsing from the domain of the power user into the hands of every subscriber that is making the difference. That -- with the advent of 4G and an 'app for everything' culture -- translates into huge volumes of data that CSPs have to understand to ensure a good customer experience."
Anritsu customers can now store and manage enormous amounts of detailed information within its Masterclaw monitoring system in an economically viable footprint -- typically 10s of billions of records per day. Using RainStor, MasterClaw retains details of every event in the network, enabling deeper analysis in the event of service disruption and providing a level of subscriber and network insight that would simply not be possible without a zero tolerance approach to both history and detail.
RainStor delivers a 15x reduction in storage and a 5x reduction in compute resources. Equally important, growth in traffic can now be addressed by simply racking and stacking additional servers without disruption to service.
"Anritsu builds partnerships with technology innovators like RainStor who have clearly developed features to meet the needs of fast growth communications organizations," said Rick Kuhlbars, Global Partnership Manager at Anritsu A/S. "By partnering with RainStor, we are delivering a competitive advantage to our customers who need to reduce their cost base while addressing the challenges posed by smart device proliferation and 4G rollout."
"The communication sector has always dealt with big data; probably before Big Data per se emerged as a discipline in its own right. The storage and analysis of billions of records per day is a fact of life for CSPs," said Tim Waterton, VP Strategic Alliances at RainStor. "RainStor's technology addresses exactly that problem and is flexibly architected to run on a myriad of platforms, reducing end customer TCO every single time. We are delighted to partner with an industry leader like Anritsu to fundamentally improve the way customers are able to manage Big Data."
Editor's note: Attending Mobile World Congress? Please join RainStor on February 28 at MWC where we are sponsoring the Network Intelligence Alliance event. Find out more about MasterClaw's use of RainStor's technology by visiting the Anritsu booth at MWC Hall 1, B31. RainStor is also exhibiting at the Innovators Pavilion -- booth 715 -- at the Strata Conference in Santa Clara, CA, taking place Feb 28-Mar 1, 2012. For more information, contact [email protected].

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace.

The job of creating a spark in the combustion chambers that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the engine is your Oldsmobile F85 spark plug. Several different metals (copper, platinum, iridium) can be used for the spark plug's electrode on all current models. If one of the spark plugs wears out, the engine in your Oldsmobile F85 will not turn as hard; leading to an increase in unburnt hydrocarbon emissions and a decrease in horsepower and fuel economy.

US Open Golf Betting: Veteran Jim Furyk Can Make Experience Count
We have a unique challenge in store as Martin Kaymer - 61.00 - defends his US Open crown at Chambers Bay in the second major of the year. A "Tricked up Links" with elevation changes is how Swede Henrik Stenson - 26.00 - describes the track. We've seen the usual grumblings from a selection of tour pros ahead of the 2015 renewal and talking points at Chambers Bay include certain tee boxes which are said to be positioned on uphill, downhill and even sidehill lies, while the huge undulating and bumpy greens have been getting everyone's attention.
Jordan Spieth - 10.00 - made the trip here for the 2010 US Amateur and failed to master the challenge, as did most. Jordan carded an 83 in the strokes and failed to qualify for the matchplay part of the tournament. Indeed, some matches were won with scoring that would have seen the 80 mark eclipsed. Jordan returns for revenge with an added weapon this year and that comes in the form of caddie Michael Greller. Michael is a former bagman at the course and even got married there. He'll know the Chambers Bay nuances more than any other.
There's been a lot of debate in the lead up as to how long the course will play and which style of golfer will have the best chance around Chambers Bay. From what I've researched, I'm firmly in the positioning and proximity camp. Phil Mickelson - 17.00 - talks about the "percentage shot" and how if you choose the right approach, you can score here but should you choose the wrong one, prepare to fail.
Michael Putnam - 351.0 - and brother Andrew grew up beside the Chambers Bay course and after to a recent interview with Andrew, it's come to light that fairways will be fiery and bouncy - further taking the length advantage factor out of the equation in my opinion: "The sandy soil drains well and almost guarantees that the course will be firm. Chambers Bay will play like an Open championship, requiring players to calculate how the ground will influence their ball". Ryan Moore is another originally from the Chambers Bay district and reckons the track can play like two different courses depending on set up and weather conditions.
The course - Chambers Bay
Chambers Bay has seen alterations since the 2010 US Amateur. Greens have been "reconstructed to accept shots from longer clubs" and the 7th was "lowered and moved forward to be more forgiving". Tee boxes were added and landing areas softened in spots. "They're strongly contoured, they're lightning fast, you can't even tell where the fairway begins and the green starts said course designed Robert Trent Jones JR. The USGA's Mike Davis talks about the "wonderful bounce" you get on the fescue grasses.
A unique test in more than just one way, Chambers Bay is a par 70 that can stretch over 7,900 yards. The course though comes equipped with numerous tee positions, while the pins can be adjusted accordingly on lengthy, large greens measuring nearly 9,000 square feet. The total length of the course can be adjusted between circa 7,400 yards and 7,900 yards. Wind and weather conditions will dictate the setup while the pars on some holes may even be changed to accommodate mother nature.
According to reports, the aim for the US Open is to have the stimpmeter reading 12', with "noticeable grain" on the surfaces. Grasses are all fescue and a "belt of fescue rough" a few inches long will feature on some holes, with taller stuff and the dreaded sandy waste areas and dunes awaiting the further errant. Fairways are extremely generous but traps await those electing to grip it and rip it from the tips. There will be a premium on finding the correct position in the fairway for optimum approach angle into the tricky pin positions on the mounded greens. Proximity to the hole and smart club and shot selection will prove key throughout the week. Approaches will often have to be played away from the pins in order to run it in close.
"They built enormous fairways, some over 100 yards wide, but full of trapdoors, false promises and awkward angles into impossibly complex greens"
Three from the pack
For me, this test has US Open specialist and 2003 winner Jim Furyk's - 36.00 or 9.00 - name written all over it. Number 1 on tour in proximity to the hole, Jim, while short off the tee, also ranks no. 12 in GIR% which tells you just how good he is with the long irons. He sits 9th in strokes gained tee to green and is just about to hit top gear. Furyk carded a T5 at Memorial with a GIR clip of 76.39%. This was on the back of a semi-final berth in the matchplay and a huge confidence boosting and five-year ending win drought at the RBC Heritage a couple of months back. The American is arguably the most accurate on tour currently lying 6th in driving accuracy and Jim can position the ball in the right areas. The veteran ranks 18th in scrambling, and off the record, he also has the head and smarts to grind out the week.
According to the USGA's Mike Davis, experience of Chambers Bay will be huge - "There is no way a player will have success here unless he really studies the golf course and learns it", and at the price, the aforementioned local man Ryan Moore - 81.00 or 18.00 - stands out. It's not only for the added advantage of knowing the nuances of the course though: Moore was back in top form at the Memorial last week and is one of the best iron players on tour. Ryan opened 67-67 at the very difficult Muirfield Village last week and recorded a T18 finish. Lying 31st in strokes gained tee to green in 2015, he finished the '14 season 23rd in GIR% despite a driving distance ranking of 129. He was also 23rd in proximity. The Tacoma native averages 10th in driving accuracy over the last 18 months.
Luke Donald - 101.0 or 21.00 - is gradually building his game back to where it once was and he's another player exactly in the same mould as Jim Furyk. Simmering currently, Donald was just on the edge of contention both in the Irish Open and at the St. Jude Classic last week. The Irish Open according to Ernie Els played similarly to how Chambers Bay will play and Luke was right there early on the Sunday in Ireland: "After 4 days here at Royal County Down it will make Chambers Bay look like it's on steroids". Donald then went on to US Open qualify, jointly topping the sectionals at the Bear's Club in his adopted Florida. The Englishman posted 3 rounds in the 60s at a tough TPC Southwind at the weekend to finish top 30. Although the stats don't really show it this year, Donald is renowned for his proximity with the irons and especially scrambling ability when on form.
Sleeper watch
Marc Leishman -126.00 or 26.00 - will be familiar with the Chambers Bay conditions having grown up on the Australian Sandbelt golf courses. Leish is a self confessed lover of windy conditions and fast greens. He booked his US Open spot with an up and down on 18 at Colonial which got him in as no.60 in the OWGR (last qualifying position) at close of play a few week's back so he'll feel like he's freerolling. Leishman was T5 at Memorial where he ranked 22nd in ball striking. Interestingly Marc is 2nd in approaches from 150-175 feet, and the big man leads the tour in putting from 10-15'.

The project focuses on ultrathin 2D semiconductors that are of interest for application in field-effect transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, photodetectors, lasers and sensors.
You will carry out spectroscopy on excitons and charge carriers in 2D nanosheets and superlattices of e.g. lead chalcogenides (PbX with X=S, Se or Te) and cadmium chalcogenides (CdX). These materials cover a wide range of dielectric constants, band gaps, and effective masses of electrons and holes. Variation of material composition and nanogeometry allows one to exploit effects of quantum confinement and to realize unusual optoelectronic properties. For instance, the electronic band structure for a honeycomb geometry exhibits a linear increase of the kinetic energy with wave vector instead of the classic quadratic increase, giving rise to highly mobile, massless Dirac carriers as in graphene.
You will study the formation, mobility and decay kinetics of excitons and charge carriers with femtosecond and nanosecond pump-probe laser techniques with optical and terahertz/microwave conductivity detection. You investigate interactions between excitons at higher density and possible formation of an electron-hole plasma. At low temperature excitons may form a Bose-Einstein condensate and at higher density a crossover to electron-hole Cooper pairs can occur. You will study the formation and properties of these many-body phases in relation to the composition and nanogeometry of the materials.
You carry out experiments in the laboratory of prof. Laurens Siebbeles (http://www.tnw.tudelft.nl/en/about-faculty/departments/chemical-engineering/research/opto-electronic-materials/) at TU Delft in The Netherlands. The project is sponsored via a TOP grant from The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and will be conducted in collaboration with a PhD student performing synthesis with prof. Daniel Vanmaekelbergh (http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~vanma101/) and a PhD student on theory with prof. Henk Stoof (http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~stoof101/) at Utrecht University.
TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package and offers a Doctoral Education Programme aimed at developing your skills. Please visit www.phd.tudelft.nl for more information. As PhD student you will be given a contract for four years with a monthly salary in the range €2191 to €2801 (excluding holiday allowance ~8%), while as a postdoc the contract is for three years with a salary depending on experience.
Please e-mail your letter of application, CV and recommendation letters to email@example.com.
We are now accepting applications for a postdoctoral appointment in the group of Professor Apkarian under a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship. Eligible candidates must hold a German citizenship or have spent the last five years in Germany.

Sharp AL-1661CS
Sharp AL-1661CS All-In-One PinterPCWorld Rating
At $799, the Sharp AL-1661CS is midpriced among the laser MFPs we tested this month. The front panel includes buttons (with big text labels) for copying, printing, scanning, and faxing, as well as a large LCD. In addition to a speed-dial pad that can hold up to 18 numbers, the console includes a phone pad. One minor annoyance: The AL-1661CS is loud.
Text printed at 11.8 ppm--the slowest rate from a laser MFP by more than 3 ppm. Graphics speed was also slower than average: The AL-1661CS printed grayscale graphics at 5.2 ppm, compared with an average of 5.6 ppm for the group.
The AL-1661CS was the only laser MFP we tested that received a lower score than Outstanding for text quality. Granted, it earned a Good on text overall, but letters in our test document looked thicker and less sharp than those printed by all other models. Also, in our line art test narrow lines printed as a single, bled-together block instead of remaining distinct. While this unit's test grayscale photograph merited a score of Good, in part for its well-balanced contrast, it still had a fuzzy, grainy texture.
Copies printed at 6.2 ppm--faster than any other MFP we tested--and received a Very Good score for quality, putting the AL-1661CS on a par with most other laser MFPs. Copies of grayscale graphics showed good detail and attractively light contrast.
The AL-1661CS excels as a scanner: It was the only laser MFP to earn a score of Outstanding for its color scans, though its grayscale scans received a more modest Good rating. Unfortunately, its scan speeds were the slowest of all the MFPs we tested; the AL-1661CS took 59 seconds to scan a 4-by-5-inch photo at 100 dpi.
The AL-1661CS comes with the most extensive software of the laser MFPs we tested. Once you scan from the front panel, you can choose whether you want to save your image in the ABBYY Fine Reader 5 optical character recognition application, in Adobe Photoshop, or in the company's own Sharpdesk software. Sharpdesk lets you organize your documents in an Explorer-style interface that includes preset categories such as receipts, expense reports, and statements. It also includes image editing capabilities and can help you with documents such as brochures and contracts. Once you preview an image, you can also indicate what type of document it is, such as a photo or fax.
The Sharp AL-1661CS offers a full-featured scanner and copier, but its text quality and print speeds are subpar.
Sharp AL-1661CS
Print: Rated 16 ppm, 600 by 600 dpi maximum resolution, 250 sheets input, 250 output. Scan: 600 by 1200 dpi, 8-bit external color. Copy: 16 ppm black and white; 99 copies. One-year warranty, 12-hour daily toll-free phone support.

White Rock's enormous smelting hall, known as the Great Workhouse, is a reminder of how technological knowhow combined with business acumen for efficient and unrivalled capacity for smelting and refining. (From Pioneers and profits).
One of the most gratifying articles I have written on copper was published in Materials World, the journal of the IOM3–The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. It is entitled Pioneers and profits and is a short introduction to the history of the copper industry from a Welsh perspective and particularly focusing on the global domination of smelting in Swansea. An important aspect of my work on the ESRC-funded Welsh Copper project was to promote this history to modern-day industrialists and scientists who may feel inspired about the history of copper in Britain but have little idea of the impact it had on business, industrial processes and the landscape.

Posted 4 years ago
Samsung has never been afraid to push the boundaries of smartphones in terms of size – the Galaxy Note and Note 2 are proof of this. However, if you were put off by the 5.5-inch display on the newest Galaxy Note, it's probably best to look away now because Samsung has just announced two handsets that dwarf anything else on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Galaxy Mega 5.8 are designed to build up the range of "phablets" in the company portfolio and are both set to launch in Europe in May, with a global rollout planned for later this year.
The Galaxy Mega 6.3 is the big brother of the two handsets, not only in terms of size, but in specs too. Designed to be a more affordable version of the Galaxy Note 2, the 6.3 features a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 8-MP and 1.9-MP rear and front-facing cameras respectively, 4G support, 8GB or 16GB storage and a 3,200mAh battery. As the name suggests, there is a 6.3 inch HD display on board that provides 720p resolution.
The Galaxy Mega 5.8 comes with more modest specifications, featuring a 5.8 inch screen, a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, and a 2,600mAh. Both cameras are the same on the smaller device, as is the RAM, although there is only 8GB of internal storage available with this handset. A microSD card slot is also included on both phones – a feature that wins Samsung many friends.
Both Galaxy Mega's will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which is a big selling point; whether it is enough to tempt people into buying a handset that is – let's face it – far too big to be a smartphone, though, remains to be seen. Samsung, however, remains confident that big is best.
"We are aware of a great potential in the bigger screen for extensive viewing multimedia, web browsing, and more," said JK Shin, Samsung's CEO and head of IT & Mobile business in a statement. "We are excited to provide another choice to meet our consumers' varying lifestyles, all while maintaining the high-quality features of the award-winning GALAXY series."
If Samsung's shipping of more than 10 million Galaxy Note handsets last year is anything to go by, then JK Shin may be on point; but 6.3 inches? Surely that is an inch too far?

who designed tears? why do we cry? The first thing that we all did when we came to this world was to cry. Doctors and midwives make sure babies cry by patting them, if they don't they will further investigate.....
I am a person who tears easily, genetic disposition from my mum. There were many instances in my life that i wish i didn't tear in front of people. On one account, on a hospital ward, a nurse confronted me and blamed that pharmacy staff made mistake, but in fact it was the doctor's! Tyical scenario i have to say, everyone worship the doctors, except the pharmacist, because they are the only one who question doctor's prescribing habit when it comes to doses, indication, side effects..etc...as with all things, there is always some good ones and erm.. well the not-so-good ones.. Back to my story, that nurse's voice and tone intimidated me and the next thing i knew, i teared! I tear when i am very upset and irritated. So embarassing! In this world, tears symbolise weakness. My ego will not allow myself to show my weaknesses , but time and again, i come to realise that healing and strength comes after weakness. As with all diseases, treatment plan can only be made after the diagnosis.
Most of the people i know will always put up their best, especially at work place. The value of human beings tends to be determined by one's ability, intelligence and contribution to the society. Following this argument, we should abolish all the not-so-capable people, and the not-so-intelligent people from our human race. What do we do with the blind, the deaf, the disabled? We don't see them on the street often, do we?
Unfortunately, i don't live by this code of conduct. God's word in the bible teaches me to visit the orphan and care for the poor and sick. It's so easy and tempting to judge a book by its cover. Just a simple observation of our conversations with friends will prove this. That woman is hot, she is not so pretty but yeah.. oh well nice... that man is short and hmn.. he has small eyes and flat nose and thick glasses... I admit i am one of the statistics at times and i am reminding myself to look beyond.
I had a tearful day.. i didn't stop myself from crying because i know the relief will follow. I thank God for tears, it's a form of relief, just like rainbow after rain.
I was very pressured about my Japan Visa, initially when i booked the package tour from Malaysia, i was told that the travel agent will apply for me. Now that it's cancelled, i was told that i could only apply when i am in Malaysia in person. I was too busy with other aspect of the wedding preparation and this item is one of those that has been left out from the loop.
I called Japan embassy in London and was told it takes 7 days. I panicked. Next monday is bank holiday, that leaves me with 30th of May.. it take 5 working days, meaning my trip to France on 5th of June with my whole family may be affected. Discussion about this bring the following gut response from the listener:"Why didn't you do it earlier? " To be honest, this is not pleasant to my ears. I don't want to hear this kinda retrospective comment.. all these "should haves" irritate me. It's like telling a boy that he is a boy. Being in a panick situation, this is the last thing i want to hear.
I admit i didn't do it earlier, because i have overlooked this matter,so what? i am not perfect, no one is... so why can't you overlook my mistake as much as i overlook yours? For your information, this applies to everyone, including my friends. My colleagues discuss about the imperfection of the deputy head of medicine management who sits opposite me.. i told them : no one is perfect, we should look at her good qualities. We are not perfect ourselves....
Btw, our hk package tour was just confirmed two days ago, before that, we were not even sure we were going to japan for sure, or other countries, or even Kota Kinabalu. Well as you can expect what follows, the rest of the conversation didn't go down very well.. *sigh*
Went to Japan embassy first thing in the morning, only to find out that i needed more evidence and documentation, eg employment letter written within the last 3 months, itinerary in English.. come one i joined the package tour is in cantonese... another few phone calls to HK to request for english letter of confirmation, time difference, ppl closing shop etc... and of course, as you would have imagine.. i am not flying to Japan straight from UK, the guy from embassy said in a very British Way: " have you not heard of direct flights?" *ahem* That didn't go down very well..
Hence, i need to show him my air ticket from Uk to KL, and emailed my travel agent to confirm my flights from KL to HK this morning and asked her to mail me the letter, plus rushing back to my office, wrote a confirmation letter on my employment and chased after my manager for his signature, PLUS translating the itinerary..... PLUS worrying about me not able to receive the passport in time for my trip to France.
One phone call from Albert who suggested the option of cancelling this whole trip, better loosing the deposit of �200 pounds than the whole tour. WHAT? i exclaimed... he called me while i was in the midst of preparing all this ...Another comment from him that i have not been doing anything about this... i will stop here... ...
another phone call to the embassy, explained my situation, he gave me a good news... i can bring him a photocopy of my passport and i can have the passport to france, and to collect the visa when i back with my passport.
Went back to the embassy in the afternoon with all the documents and after few checks with his manager, done...
7 pm .. exactly 24 hours from yesterday interesting conversation on the same topic.. with the blaming game...
i am relieved... and my eyes are dry...
But as what i wrote yesterday, weeping may remain , but joy comes with the morning.. i am seeing the rainbow..

Hey Irene,ReplyDelete
Caught up with your blog for a bit lately, and looks like you have been caught in a tirade of trying events leading up to your wedding. Well, all I can say is hang in there, for the Lord surely is leading you and shaping you up to a stronger person. Have faith. Remember Heb 11:1, Faith is being sure of things hoped for and certain of things not seen. Though you may not see it, God is carrying you on His shoulders. Cheers!!

News : Atlantic City Call Center Opening Soon, Still Hiring
Atlantic City, NJ, USA, Oct 7, 2015 -- More than 100 empty chairs are pressed against a wall inside the first floor of the Atlantic City Contact Center.
On the last chair sits a cardboard poster detailing the layout of the soon-to-open business, which occupies the first and third floors of the Claridge Hotel and sandwiches the Miss America Organization on the second floor.
The call center will open in three weeks and employ more than 300 people by the end of January, CEO Warren H. Golden said.
But work is still going on to get it ready. On the third floor, wires hang from the ceiling, and a worker was caulking walls on a recent weekday.
The company received a 10-year tax break from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority as part of its Grow New Jersey Plan. It has hired 50 employees to start and will hire another 50 in November and 200 more in December and January, Golden said.
The deal is a five-year lease with two five-year options.
Golden said the influx of new hires should continue, with more locations opening in coming years.
"Certainly we expect that the employees we hire are going to have a good, long-term job," Golden said. "While we are hiring 332 for this project, our intention is then to select another location and build out three to four more in the city. The ultimate goal is to have 1,300 to 1,400 agents working in A.C."
The company will provide call-center services for customer service, retail, technical support, product ordering and order follow-up.
Starting salaries will range from $12 to $13 per hour, and manager salaries will be based on experience. Golden said he has his sights set on one place in particular for a second location but would not identify it.
"I'm hoping to do it sooner. I'm looking for the appropriate location that is economically feasible. If we make the selection earlier, then there is no reason why we wouldn't open it sooner," he said.
The CEO said he sees real growth through his employees and his potential customers.
"There are a lot of qualified potential employees, and we interviewed 400 at the job fair. If that is any indication of what's out there, then we will have the ability to grow it," Golden said.
But John Whiten, deputy director of New Jersey Policy Perspective, is concerned by what is spurring that growth: a huge tax break that could be a risk for the state as a whole, he said.
"The issue is that the state legislation had written that this company can reap all the benefits but not stay there any longer than the time allotted," Whiten said. "There's no reason for New Jersey to open up to that risk."
Whiten said this has happened before with other businesses.
"Companies are known for coming in to a location, getting all the benefits and tax breaks, and then shopping around after a few years. We're hoping that state lawmakers could make that not the case anymore."
Golden disagrees that the tax breaks are a risk for the state.
"The deal with the state is that we get our tax credits as long as we keep our locations there. And we have to keep the locations for 10 years to get the full benefits," Golden said. "I believe this will definitely benefit the employees, and this will last beyond the committed time. Once it starts, our customers will want to stay in the city."

At a time when it was thought that YSRCP was all but finished in the Telangana region, suddenly the party was able to field 103 candidates for those Assembly seats out of 117 seats. This is indeed a good bounceback from Jagan and his team. This sudden move surprised even genuine analysts who are taken aback but now there are media reports that TRS is taking Jagan's help to field Reddy candidates in segments where Congress has fielded Reddys.
Sources say that top TRS leadership is in touch with Jagan and it is they who helped in fielding candidates from Jagan's party so that the Reddy votes can be split. This is being deemed as a big blow to the TRS party which was expected to have a clean sweep. This matters because in a multi cornered contest, even few hundreds of votes matter and the interesting news coming in is also that it was due to Jagan's insistence that Konda Surekha and Mahender Reddy intentionally moved to TRS via Congress to weaken the Congress!

Do your kids ride bikes ?
Started by Rachaelxxx , Jan 11 2013 08:48 AM

Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:48 AM
I know this probably sounds like a really silly question, but my husband and I were talking about this last night and I was saying if I had my time over, I would have purchased a house in a nice quiet court location, where the kids could ride their bikes and scooters around as much as they liked.
We live on a busy street, lovely suburb and great neighbours, but I'm not comfortable with the kids riding up and down the street with the amount of traffic around. At times just the logistical nightmare of taking the 5 girls out bike riding as well is hard. The older 3 can ride bikes (not confidently) and the younger 2 (5 and 6 year olds) are still on their training wheels.
I guess what I'm asking is, whilst my girls are active, I really haven't given them a lot of exposure on the roads / footpaths while riding bikes. How much importance do you place on this and at what ages are you comfortable allowing your kids to "hit the streets on their own" so to speak.
My girls ages are 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:54 AM
I can't help you but have been wondering the same thing.
My girls are 6 and nearly 9, and they only ride closely supervised on our quiet country town street (mainly because we do have the occasional hoon). I often see younger kids riding to school, but do not yet feel comfortable letting mine do so. No matter how much I nag them they seem to have no idea of looking out for traffic, crossing roads etc.
It would be nice to let them have their independence but I can't imagine doing this for another 18 months/2years.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:55 AM
We live on that ideal street that you talk of, semi rural double cul-de-sac, street full of kids. Our house has a huge amount of concrete driveways and paths - three car garage, two car carport plus massive shed area out back (we didn't put it in) so it's heaven for kids and their roller skates, skateboards and scooters.
DD 10 is always outside and wonders up and down the street looking for someone to play with, DS 13 doesn't like to go outside.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:56 AM
We're in the same position as you. My kids are active but we don't do much bike riding. We're in a busy street too and there is nowhere for them to ride bikes around on their own, and we often don't go to the effort of taking them anywhere.
I'm not confident about them riding the streets on their own yet (two older ones are 8 and 6) but that's really to do with their lack of road sense. They have been out with DH and a friend's father before. The last time DS1 managed to run into a parked car and smash his two front (permanent) teeth so he's now a bit hesitant about bike riding now.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:18 AM
DD1 (10yo) is always out and about on her bike with girlfriends. DD2 (4yo) is a confident rider with training wheels on the verge of coming off. DS1 (8yo) refuses to ride.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:23 AM
We live in a quiet court but I won't let my kids ride their bikes there. We have a Neighbour who is an 'erratic' driver as well as lots of rubber neckers who don't pay attention to the road. One of our newer neighbours allows their kids to kid around the cout unsupervised (aged 6yr, 9yrs, 10yrs).
I did a lot of bike riding when I was young but that was due to not having anything else to do. My kids are still active and they know how to ride. How much they ride isn't important.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:36 AM
We live on a dead end lane that has only 3 houses..so they go out and ride quite a lot there without any problems at all.
I don't let them go out onto the street though without us, they must stay in our lane. As cars can whip around quite quickly.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:36 AM
My 4 year old has had access to bikes, and given lots of encouragement, but she's just not that enthusiastic. I think part of it is, we do have to take them somewhere to have a decent ride, there's no footpaths here to practise on, and we live between two busy roads.
My favourite thing from about 4 to 16 was riding my bike, I'm a little disappointed she's not interested TBH. I'm still hoping she'll come around, for Christmas we all got new bikes, in hopes of going out riding as a family.
I also grew up in a heavy traffic area, but begged my parents to take me to the park all the time, and as soon as I was old enough, spent a few afternoons a week, and most of the weekend off riding with friends.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:42 AM
I have been riding my now 10 year old to school regularly for several years and she still doesn't have the road sense for me to allow her to do it alone. There is only one intersection she has to cross but she doesn't always remember to check for turning traffic or cars behind her before she pulls out to cross.
Even when she is doing the right thing, some drivers don't. It is not unusual for drivers to turn left, cutting off cyclists who are riding on the edge of the road, or fling open doors without looking.
I don't think I would be allowing kids on roads unsupervised until they reach high school age, and even then only if they had lots of experience riding with adults who can explain road rules and safety issues.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:44 AM
We live in the inner city, near busy roads, tram lines, trains etc. I wouldn't let my kids ride alone until they are 12-14.
Having said that, we ride a lot. I ride with them to school a couple of days a week, and on the weekends we often ride as a family about 6km to our favourite park (and it will be more as the little one builds stamina).
The kids are 5 and 7, and both got bikes at 4 and were off training wheels after only a month. Having had balance bikes before this helped with not needing training wheels for long.
7yo is so fast now that sometimes I struggle to keep up with him on the bike tracks.

We live on a semi-main road which takes a bit of traffic. My DDs (7 & 9) are keen riders. We are on a corner block which runs into a cul-de-sac and the girls are allowed to ride outside our house and around that corner.
Some of my favourite memories as a kid are of riding my bike around the block (over and over, the same block...sometimes we would change directions but only the one block...) and I want my kids to have the same experiences.
We are moving in a couple of weeks to a less busy street with BETTER footpaths so I hope they will be outside even more.
DH takes them for a ride every night and they have been riding to school once a week (with me trailng them in the car) so they are quite street smart.
Once we have moved I will allow DD1 to rise to her friend's house which will be 5 mins away.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 10:13 AM
My children are 3, 5 and 7 and they ride or scoot to school. Only the 3yo still has training wheels. I go with them - I have resisted getting a bike for myself so far, but often I am running to keep up! We have footpaths all the way, and the children stop at every road and get off their bikes to wait for me. We walked it for 2 weeks and talked about where they need to stop before I let them try anything else.
DH rides to work 3-4 days/week and he will take DS1 for long rides on weekends. DS2 needs a new bike and is keen to start going with them.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:03 AM
I live in an area of town with a LOT of hoons and some of my neigbours call them "ferals". Not a very nice way of naming people, but whatever floats their boat. I just call them hoons as they drive like maniacs and are always screaming and swearing and throwing stuff over the road and having the cops visit them every other day :\ Time to sell up and leave me thinks.
Anyhoo we live in on a property with 8 villa's and have a common driveway. It's enough for DS to ride around on and play with the neighbours kids. Yet he knows not to cross the last line before getting to the footpath.
If we are still living here in 10 years time, I MIGHT let him start riding on the street by himself when he's 12 and more responsible.
In the meantime, when he's got a lot of energy to burn, I put his bike in the boot of my car and take him to the new Velodrome just down the road. He can ride his little heart out there without having to worry about other traffic.
In the Netherlands, bike riding is immensely popular. BUT they also have more highway than Australia and also the same amount of cars while the country is 300 times smaller.
This is why in the 6th grade, the kids get a few practical lessons in basic road rules, like indicating with your hand when your turning into a street, giving way at railroad crossings, etc.
At the end they have to sit a theoretical exam and get a certificate when they pass. Ofcourse they can still ride their bikes if they fail, but it's still a fun and easy way of getting kids to be more aware of the traffic around them when on their bicycles.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:09 AM
If you DON'T let your kids ride bikes on the road - then will their first experience of dealing with traffic be when they are learning to drive?
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:10 AM
My two older boys (10 & 7) ride to & from school twice a week and are often on their bikes riding around the neighbourhood to visit mates who live close by or to go to the park etc.
We live in a cul-de-sac and our neighbourhood is relatively quiet.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:11 AM
My 6.5 yr old rides up and down our culdesac regularly and 4yo DD has no training wheels and prefers to ride around our back yard and do jumps. DS 22 months rides around yard with trainers on. Wishing he could do what the girls do.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:49 AM
My two 6 year olds ride to school everyday and have done since they started Pre-Primary, sometimes they scoot but mostly they ride.
My 4 year old can ride but I've been a bit slack and had him on the back of my bike so we get to school faster.
He'll start riding to school next month when he starts and I'll walk with him until he's quick and confident then we'll all ride.
We also ride to friends houses, the park and families houses, if we can ride instead of drive we do it.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:04 PM
Thanks guys, I guess I just wondered if you feel it's detrimental to them that I haven't invested the time to spend on the roads with them on bikes.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:15 PM
Rachael if you are going to let them ride you must invest the time in making sure they are safe. Riding with them imo is the only way to do this. Ride often, in different locations, and talk to them about safety as you go. As they get more confident, ride behind them and watch what they do. You'll soon see whether they are ready to go alone or not.
If you can't do that, better not to let them ride at all. The consequences of getting it wrong are too awful.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:21 PM
DH sometimes takes them for bike rides, but it's along the bike/walk path next to the river in our local suburb. Never on the road.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:30 PM
Some of my happiest memories of my childhood are being allowed to roam around town on my bike. Wasn't much else to do where I was growing up! I'm still a very keen rider. I used to ride to work and do bike trips through the countryside. I would love to instill in my children a love of cycling.
DS1 is 3.5 and rides around on his bike with training wheels. He rides everywhere and can do a 2.5-3km round trip if it is broken up in the middle with a playdate/shops etc. He puts his brakes on at the road sides and we practice crossing safely. I'm not sure when I will be comfortable with him riding by himself out of sight-- certainly not for quite a few years yet as we live in the inner south of Melbourne.
We have the advantage of living on the edge of a public grass patch and I can sit outside and watch him do lap after lap after lap of the grass without crossing driveways or roads.
Riding is healthy and it is great exercise. Children are never too young to start. Your older daughters might not be very confident now, but maybe it is just through lack of practice? It will just take a little time and investment on your behalf to ride with them. They might surprise you just how quickly they learn. Better to get them used to traffic now under your supervision rather than older when they are on their own or driving a car!

One way or another IF your children want to ride bikes, they will ask. I personally don't think it's detrimental at all. I know how hard it can be riding with 5 small children. We all have bikes, loads of them in all different size. My kids love them. We sometimes just block the end of the driveway with our cars so they don't go on the road, sitting outside watching them. Scooters ss well. Very relaxing actually. We are lucky to live in a coastal community, so lots of cycle paths. We sometimes throw 6 bikes (ds rides with me) in the trailer and find a good place to ride safely together. That works best for us. Can highly recommend balance bikes as well. No training wheels required at all. Fantastic idea!
Posted 11 January 2013 - 01:10 PM
I actually had this same conversation with my elderly neighbour last night as DS was riding his bike up our street. She said that her old neighbours bought a new house on a busy street and have regretted it as they realise the kids cant go and simply ride their bike.
DS has been riding a pushy since he was 2 and even though our street is quiet, i've never let him ride on the road unless its in the gutter area to go to the footpath at the end of the street with me.
Last night i let him ride anywhere he wanted in our street with me following him and he had a blast. I dont think I could move to a busy street.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 02:00 PM
Yes, they ride their bikes and scooters, we live in a suburban area of Sydney, quiet street, my girls are 11 and a half and nearly 15.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 02:09 PM
Mine have all ridden to school from about 5yo , but I am so glad that here in Canberra we have a fantastic bike path system so they only need to cross the road in front of our house between here and school! My children have ridden on footpaths and roads solo from age 10yo, but we've drilled them pretty hard on safety.
It's still scary - my DD came home one day saying "I've worked out how you know which way the cars are turning - you just watch their indicators" and I had to point out very vigorously that she could NOT trust the indicators - they were a guide, but not reliable!
