Sophie does it again! While I am not a huge fan of the Shopaholic series, I really loved her Twenties Girl book and this one is no exception. I literally could not stop reading it and could not put it down I was able to finish it in a night. I was really smiling in the last chapters of the book. Kinsella has this way of making you giddy and longing at the same time, without needing to paint a very physical description of the characters. She also makes the pair work – even if, for example, the male lead works a festool during the day and the girl is a high-end career executive.

I would definitely recommend this book!

I’ve Got Your Number
Sophie Kinsella

Summary:
I’ve lost it. The only thing in the world I wasn’t supposed to lose. My engagement ring. It’s been in Magnus’s family for three generations. And now, the very same day his parents are coming, I’ve lost it. The very same day. Do not hyperventilate Poppy. Stay positive!!

Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry the ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her ‘happy ever after’ begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring but in the panic that followed, she has now lost her phone. As she paces shakily round the hotel foyer she spots an abandoned phone in a bin. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!

Well, perfect except the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton doesn’t agree. He wants his phone back and doesn’t appreciate Poppy reading all his messages and wading into his personal life.

What ensues is a hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend each other’s lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, mysterious phone calls and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents… she soon realises that she is in for the biggest surprise of her life.

Bitter is the New Black
Jen Lancaster

Summary:
(from Amazon.com)
Jen Lancaster was living the sweet life-until real life kicked her to the curb.

She had the perfect man, the perfect job-hell, she had the perfect life-and there was no reason to think it wouldn’t last. Or maybe there was, but Jen Lancaster was too busy being manicured, pedicured, highlighted, and generally adored to notice.

This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she’s gone from six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values she thought she’d never have to answer for when times were good.

Filled with caustic wit and unusual insight, it’s a rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the trajectory of a burst balloon.

I finally was able to get started on my reading again – this time, through the iBooks app in my iPhone (at my current state in life, e-books are going to be my lifesavers). I found the book fun, even though there were some bits where I thought it was a bit dragging. There were no scenes that needed discount crowd control ropes but I can understand and somewhat relate how she shifted from living the high-life to the unemployed (for so long!). The book is based on the real-life of the author – a fun read!

Thermal cutoff, also known as thermal fuse, is a single-use device that shutsdown another device in the instance of overheating. Unlike a thermal switch which can be reset and used again once temperature has decreased, a thermal cutoff fuse has to be replaced once it is triggered by overheating.

Thermal fuses are very important components of many electrical devices especially those that specifically produce heat such as coffeemakers, water heaters, hair dryers, oven toasters, and many more. Since a thermal cutoff is a component that upholds the safety of a device, it is very important to get them from a reliable and trustworthy supplier.

For US manufacturers, Chatham Components, Inc. is one of the few remaining top quality American supplier of thermal cutoff fuses. You can easily learn more about the company by visiting its website CCI-TCO.com. The site is quite easy to navigate with the header links that can take you to various pages such as a guide on selecting a TCO, questions on RoHS, technical assistance, frequently asked questions, about CCI, and a contacts page.

The site design is simple, uncluttered, and looks professional. The left and right sidebars provide added navigation options. The left sidebar contains the username and password input boxes that you need to login to your account. CCI-TCO.com provides adequate amount of information both for those who are knowledgeable on thermal fuses and those who know very little about it. For a site that promotes a very technical product, CCI-TCO.com breaches the awkward and foreign feeling you can get upon encountering such technical stuff and makes the information friendlier and easier to understand.

IT Consultancy

I know the importance of a stable, reliable and efficient IT department in any business. I have worked in the outsourcing business for five years before resigning to stay home to take care of my kids, and we relied heavily on IT solutions to be able to carry our day-to-day operations without any glitches. Our company employed top management consultants to be able to inspect our system and make recommendations on how the IT department can improve their operations. Some assisted living software were recommended and the employment of amarketing solutions agency was done to help with the PR and manual guidebook to help define SOP in operations.

Most businesses now employ a database to store data and use computer technology to assist in day-to-day operations. Such is the power of technology. Most advanced businesses have gone almost completely paperless and have 24 hour, 7 days a week high-speed internet access. This is one of the reasons why outsourcing has become so popular and carrying business from other parts of the world have become easier. Information technology has played such a huge role in that development!

NCC Data’s Business Strategy Consulting and Information Technology consulting services work alongside to help fully optimize your businesses processes – from an IT perspective as well as the interfacing of the various departments within your company and the detailed ways they work together.

My uncle works as a supplier of data cabling solutions and he cannot stress how important an IT department’s plan is for them to be able to deliver efficiently. Most of their supplies can only truly work at their best with a good management plan and that is where companies like NCC Data’s Business Strategy Consulting and Information Technology consulting services come in.
