Fascinating Hong Kong

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Saturday 30 May 2009 12:40 pm

Hong Kong greets visitors from all over the world with a smile. The urban embodiment of the balancing act between Chinese and European cultures, Hong Kong has long been one of the most vibrant business centres on earth.

Few travel to Hong Kong for the sights; they come for business and excitement. Hong Kong is so lively it sizzles like the oil in the woks of its ubiquitous street food vendors. Little has changed since the 1997 return of the British colony of Hong Kong to China. The city that flourished through co-operation between the Chinese and British societies is, if anything, more fascinating and colourful than ever before.

Opium highs and lows

In the early eighteenth century, the original British merchants to arrive at what would be Hong Kong, found only a few fishing villages. Hong Kong had no importance at all within the Chinese Empire and had been ignored for centuries.

The British built a trade port here in 1711, and it thrived during the early nineteenth century when goods from China were in vogue in Europe.

As the fashion for Chinese goods waned the British began to deal in opium instead, harvesting it in India and importing it illegally into China, where the Qing dynasty emperor had banned its sale. When the Chinese tried to halt the imports, the British responded with military force.

The resulting Opium Wars (1838-1856) were disastrous for China. In 1842, the British took control of the city of Hong Kong and it became a British colony. A 1898 pact with China made Hong Kong and 234 nearby islands a British protectorate for ninety-nine years. The treaty ended in 1997.

Negotiations took place in 1982 to modify the original agreement in order to protect Hong Kong’s special status. China had originally demanded control not only of the so-called “New Territories” around the city, but also of Hong Kong itself. Through a series of agreements and concessions, Great Britain was able to prevent Hong Kong from being directly incorporated into mainland China. Instead, on 1 July 1997, Hong Kong was declared a Chinese Special Administrative Region.

Skyscrapers and feng shui

Hong Kong’s special status has allowed it to remain a modern economic hub. Despite its visible modernity, traditional ways of life are never forgotten. The ancient Chinese art of feng shui is still used with new constructions, where measurements are configured according to lucky numbers and windows positioned so as to let good luck in and bad luck out.

Skyscrapers loom where splendid colonial buildings once stood, only a few of which have remained. In the central district, the Cathedral of St. John, the former French Residence and the Legislative Council Building are among the few traditional buildings that remain.

Omnipresent Buddha

Traditional life has a strong influence in the New Territories than in the city itself. Stunning temple complexes are everywhere, built in traditional style in tranquil settings. 10,000 Buddhas Monastery is one of the most visited. This number represents “very many” or “countless” in Chinese, rather than a specific number of Buddhas.

In fact, there are more than 10,000, perhaps as many as 13,000. The enormous bronze Buddha towering above Lo Pin Monastery on the island of Lantau is the largest Buddha in the world, measuring 26 metres tall. Visitors can climb a steep path of 260 steps to reach it. The panoramic view from the top definitely rewards the effort, as does the spiritual enlightenment achieved along the way.

Five Great Activities To Burn Calories

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Saturday 30 May 2009 6:57 am

Most individuals prefer to lose weight without going to the gym or enrolling for aerobic exercises. There are two main reasons why - it is either they have no time for exercise or they don’t want intense work outs.

On the contrary, people who regularly go to the gym for exercises are not the only ones who can be fit. In fact, by just mere doing our everyday workout routines we are already burning calories without knowing it. The problem is, we always think that those treadmills, dumbbells, and weight lifting can only be effective. This notion is very wrong.

There are better activities to burn calories, and we should stop thinking about the hard core weight lifting and crunches because it will just leave our muscles hurt and very tired at the end of the day.

Here are some of the best activities to burn stomach fat:

  • House chores - These chores are the usual things that we do everyday. From now on we should not avoid doing it. A person that has an average weight can lose up to seventy five pounds by ironing clothes for thirty minutes. Mopping the floor and vacuuming for the same length of time can burn an astounding one hundred forty calories!
  • Outdoor chores - These maybe are the most avoided chores. But these activities are more effective to remove those calories away from our body. You can lose up to three hundred calories in pulling weeds and mowing the lawn. Imagine all those fats getting out of our system and at the same time you helped in beautifying your lawn because gardening requires squatting, stretching, and bending.
  • Walking - You don’t have to use the treadmill to take off undesired calories. Walking around your house or outside will do the job for you. Forget about commuting in short distances.
  • Cycling - Do you know those stationary bikes in gyms? It looks boring isn’t it? And not to mention that it doesn’t take you anywhere. Try doing the realistic way of cycling where you can go sight seeing and go from places to places. Many persons do this when going to school or at work rather than catching a cab or a bus.
  • Dancing - This is a very funny way to loose weight fast. You don’t have to be a professional dancer to do this. Lock yourself up in your room, tune up your stereo or any portable music players and start shaking up those fats to get out of your body. But if you really want to be a professional one, then sign up for any dance lesson of your interest.

The activities mentioned above are only a few of the best exercises to get in shape that anyone can do. Remember that it is not only the hard way that can give you what you desire.

Entrepreneur Idea Guide

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Friday 29 May 2009 6:44 am

Are you still mystified with what an entrepreneur is doing in his everyday life? Well, according to some people, entrepreneurs are great thinkers and so they must be spending most of their time thinking of what new things they can offer to the world. This may be true and if you’re a beginner in the field of entrepreneurship, you have to get the best entrepreneur idea guide to get you started.

Entrepreneurs are generally business people. However, this is only half of who they really are. You see, entrepreneurs are also idea thinkers and deal makers. Through the available or existing circumstances, an entrepreneur can uncover new ideas and then turn them into a good deal.

Many entrepreneurs hardly ever concentrate on one business venture. Their primary aim is to earn money so will try to venture into all kind of businesses as long as it provides a profit.

The business ideas created by a certain entrepreneur are often found in archives. This is because some business ideas may not be feasible at present and so they keep it for future use or reference. Those business ideas which have higher market feasibility are investigated further and if in case the entrepreneur decides to act on the idea immediately, he will put such ideas to work and earn money.

Feasibility studies are vital to every business venture. From the idea, the entrepreneur thinks of certain services or products and formulates questions. Oftentimes, the entrepreneur conducts surveys to potential customers and he meticulously records all the responses. The documentations made can be used by the entrepreneur once he secures capital from financial backers.

If the entrepreneur have the capital to finance the said business idea, then it will be good for him because he will reap all the profits. However, most entrepreneurs prefer to seek assistance from financial backers so that their decisions will not be affected by their own vested interest.

Different interest groups will look into the business ideas provided by the entrepreneur. If anyone from the group is willing to finance the business proposal, then they will have to contact the entrepreneur. The business deals are usually carried out together with a lawyer so that everything will be formal and documented. Once the ideas are backed, the entrepreneur will start earning money. If the business idea proves to be successful, more money will come rolling in for the entrepreneur.

Being an entrepreneur is hard especially for beginners. However, with diligence, hard work, patience, knowledge, and a whole lot of other qualities, even you can become a successful entrepreneur.

At present, many entrepreneurs are into internet business. One reason is that many internet businesses are potential money makers and are not hard to handle. If you want to become an internet entrepreneur, make sure that you conduct your own research about it and how it is done. As beginners, you have to have to gather as much information as you can for the success of your chosen field.

Now that you know everything starts with an idea, you can already determine if being an entrepreneur is what you really want in life. Some say that if you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you have to be born with the characteristics of one.

However, you can work things out as you grow older and learn new things. So don’t get discouraged and try really hard if you’re determined to become an entrepreneur.

Personalized Wedding Favor

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Thursday 28 May 2009 4:21 pm

Although know almost every wedding guest will be given wedding favors, a personalized wedding favor is still quite rare as the cost of these is a little higher but for the bride and groom to be able to have their names on these gifts makes all the difference. Not only will they feel a little bit special but your wedding guests will go away with a personal reminder of the day and they will be able to recall it more easily even five years from now.

For the wedding couple this is the best type of wedding favor they could give; knowing that whenever it is viewed, the person will remember the day exactly. Everyone can use a little help when they are arranging their wedding and help with wedding favors, if they are to be personalized, need to be made sooner rather than later.

Planning is the key issue here as unlike regular wedding favors, which can almost be left until the last minute to purchase, these require a little more effort and orders should be placed early. There are now a number of specialist suppliers of personalized wedding favors items but these companies can get very busy as everyone has the same idea that they will be able to delay the order and they may end up not being able to honor your order if it is processed late. Even for this type of wedding favor supplier, you would do well to order as soon as you have made your decision on the wording as you never know what delays you might be unfortunate enough to experience on top of the wedding.

Some companies are able to complete rush order much quicker but this will almost certainly incur a heft surcharge which may make the wedding favors financially prohibitive. Your budget will determine just how much information you will be able to place on each personalized wedding gift and obviously it is nice to place more that just the names of the couple plus the day they were married but the more that is printed, the greater the charge. This can be done on items ranging from candy wrappers to pictures frames and fortune cookies to candle holders, however, including the names of the bride and the groom and the date of the wedding is not the only way to personalize a wedding favor.

Another popular option for purchasing personalized wedding favors is to give edible favors and many different kinds of edible favors can be personalized; photo cookies are just one example. You shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a bakery that perform this sort of service from either a scanned image or one from a digital camera.

There is no reason once the wedding cake picture is printed on the cookie that the couple’s name and wedding information can’t also be placed on it as well. If you want to give something edible that is going to last as well then why not have the printing done on the wrapper or ribbon instead as they can at least eat the wedding favor but will still have a reminder to keep. Plain ribbons with the wedding details are very effective and can even be supplied so they are each cut to the exact length required which will save someone a great deal of time.

Something in Golf History

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Thursday 28 May 2009 7:22 am

The origin of golf is hard to place exactly. Several countries are claiming that they started the now popular game, but the most believed is the Netherlands. According to history, the Netherlands had the ideas of hitting balls into holes with a golf club in the 17th century. In addition to this, it is said that the word golf comes from the Dutch was kolf which means stick, club and bat. It does NOT come from the acronym “gentlemen only, ladies forbidden.” Despite this early introduction of golf, it did not come around in the United States until the 1880s.

The oldest course in the world dates back to St. Andrews Trails, located in the Royal Burgh of St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland. This course is known as the “home of golf”.

Even though it is commonly known that golf courses have eighteen holes, according to history, this has not always been so. Golfers at St. Andrews played on a route that was determined by the topography of the area. An eleven-hole golf course came about and players would play all eleven, turn around and play them again - twenty-two holes. Some thought that the holes were to short in 1764, so were combined with other holes. The number was reduced from eleven to nine, leaving a total of eighteen holes.

The size of the golf hole even goes back in history. The standard golf hole size is 4.25 inches in diameter. It was the St. Andrews Trails that were the founders of this standard size, with some assistance from the links at Musselburgh. This size was decided upon because the folks at Musselburgh had invented the first known hole cutter in 1829. This cutter utilized a tool that was 4.25 inches in diameter. St. Andrews simply liked that size and adopted it for the games standard hole size.

The common used phrases in the game of golf are birdie, eagle and par. The word bird was a slang term in the 19th century that referred to anything considered remotely cool. So the term was used then for a great shot in a game of golf - one that led to a score under par - and was eventually turned into birdie. The word eagle followed along those lines in keeping with the bird mentality. Par was used long before it became associated with the game of golf and basically meant something that was acceptable or average. The word simply became associated over time with the game of golf to indicate an ideal score among golfers.

Where did these rules come from? Well, you honestly cannot play a game, any game, without rules. So from the very beginning there had to have been understood rules to play along with. No one knows what those rules were as the rules were never officially written until they were specifically written in 1744 for the Annual Challenge for the Edinburgh Silver Club.

Golf didn’t just come around yesterday. It has a history. And to fully enjoy and understand the game, you need to know where it came from. Learn a little!
