Close to lively Bournemouth and the tranquillity of the New Forest and rural Dorset, Christchurch's unique combination of heritage, coastline, harbour and rivers provides all the ingredients to make your visit extra special.

Christchurch dates from Saxon times, and lies in the shadow of the magnificent 11th century Priory Church and still retains its Saxon street layout.

Originally known as Twynham "the place betwixt the waters", Christchurch takes its name from the Priory Church, which was originally known as Christ's Church.

The town centre dates from Saxon times and lies adjacent to the majestic 11th century Priory church.

The beautiful historic Priory has a wealth of medieval carving and is reputedly one of the longest parish churches in England.

It is famous for its 1094 Norman nave and turret, the Lady Chapel's pendant vault, probably the first in this country, misericords including one, by tradition, the oldest in England.

Also the Miraculous Beam, the ninth centenary commemorative stained-glass window and the restored 18th century organ.

Red House Museum and art Gallery, was originally a workhouse. This fascinating museum contains countless objects relating to local history, geology, natural history and archaeology as well as an impressive costume gallery.

Place Mill, mentioned in the Doomsday Book, was part of the conventual buildings of the Priory. Although the mill has been carefully restored, it no longer grinds flour, but the working machinery provides a fascinating backdrop to a collection of milling artefacts, arts and crafts.

The fascinating older part of the town with its quaint houses, excellent restaurants and specialist shops, is just a few minutes walk from the bustling High Street, with its Saxon Square shopping precinct.

On Mondays in the town centre there is a large and popular market.

Christchurch has six, safe, sandy beaches stretching across the sweep of Christchurch Bay from Mudeford Sandbank to Highcliffe.

They all offer amazing views across Christchurch Bay from the Isle of Wight and the Needles in the east to Hengistbury Head in the west.

The Regent Centre is the cinema, theatre and concert hall serving Christchurch and the surrounding area. It was built in 1931 and retains all the Art Deco charm of the era.

The foyer is used by local artists, for exhibitions of their work.

The Regent Centre screens new release films, as well as hosting concerts, plays, pop groups and pantomime to suit all tastes.

Christchurch is famous for its exciting places to eat out, and has probably the widest selection of restaurants in the area offering international cuisine.

Christchurch has a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports. As well as the Two Riversmeet Leisure centre, there is excellent angling, watersports, bowls, tennis, golf, riding, skiing and ski bobbing.

Christchurch is ideal for walkers with a variety of walks by the sea, the rivers, through heathland and woodland or across Stanpit Marsh - the birdwatcher's heaven.

 

We gathered their reviews and one said that the foods at Harmony were the best on Christmas Eve. Many families enjoy Chinese foods on such occasion and we found out that recommendations from different customers brought them to the restaurant to try it out. For those people, Christmas is not the same without the top quality Chinese food of Harmony Chinese Takeaway.

 

A certain review also explains how it was spotlessly clean at the takeaway and how they received a warm welcome from the staff. Most of them never imagined that Harmony follows high standards when it comes to their food. They were moved by how the staff always gives them a good chat because they never thought that taking their order would turn out into a meaningful conversation with different people. 

 

There’s also this review that tells how kind the staff was. His friend was in a wheelchair that time and the staff did not think twice in helping them get into their car. They praised the excellent customer service of Harmony Chinese Takeaway. This takeaway has more than your favorite food but it also has a friendly mood inside with a polite and honest staff.

 

Reviews also reveal that the food was still hot even after they got home and the rich flavor was evident in each bite. “Delicious”, “very tasty”, “mouthwatering”, “it melts in your mouth” – these words were very common in any Harmony Chinese Takeaway food reviews. 

 

Most customers who made those reviews about the takeaway restaurant promised to come back again, and they said that Harmony will be seeing a lot more of them because of its great food. With their recommendations to their family and friends, the restaurant is palpably getting more customers each day from different places.

 

 

So how or when will you say that a piece of work is an art? Do you have the knowledge to distinguish good art from bad art? If not, then look for a fine art consultant and a prominent art gallery to help and guide you in buying art. Hawkfield Gallery consultants and its fine art consultants had established a good reputation in the art industry because of their knowledge and capability to recognize talented artists and worthy artworks.

 

Hawkfield Gallery's massive art collection spans from the 20th to 21st century American visual arts. The gallery's fine art consultants provide quality service to people who are willing to sell or buy impressive artworks. They don't just focus on collectors; they work closely with first-time buyers too.

Check out the website of Hawkfield Galleryor ask for an appointment with them. Their gallery is located in a shore town midway between Boston and Cape Cod, a place where you can see breathtaking landscapes. It is housed in an 1850's farmhouse and became a tearoom, craft shop and lending library in the 1920's. The farmhouse is located in an area beside the historic North River. Tourists can take a stroll along woodland trails which lead to a pier on the river. Moreover, the place has numerous antique shops, galleries of historic sites in the South Shore's Plymouth County.

To have a healthy and long-lasting machine, it should be a clean machine first. Just like your own body because as long as you're taking good care of it, it will definitely stay healthy. If you want to prevent any unwanted rusts in your car's body or chinks in your engine, then you should perform a regular maintenance on it. Bringing back your vehicle to its “almost” factory-condition requires regular cleaning, especially after going through heavy snow or rain. Some people can do this task alone, while others prefer the help of professionals to ensure the great condition of their cars.

 

 

If you're planning to sell your car in the future, it will surely have a high resale value if it is well-maintained. However, a lot of car owners these days don't keep detailed and updated maintenance records because for them, it requires so much time. And this is where the role of a car servicing company becomes crucial because those professionals can do this task well for you. They can also provide regular reminders that will make you perform the required and scheduled tasks properly and on time.

 

 

Cars are not perfect vehicles, after all, they may show some faults in the future such as defects caused by the effects of weather and nonstop use. Professionals who have expertise in cars can better determine those faults. Don't wait for minor problems to become major issues, which could lead to huge expenses down the road, be prepared and hire experts beforehand.

 

 

Many ordinary car owners do not have the necessary technical skills and tools to maintain the good shape of their cars, so they settle for the services of a car servicing company such as the Tyre&Auto Southbourne Group instead. Rather than going DIY, they prefer a professional car servicing company to do some tasks such as wheel balancing, electrical repairs, and ignition timing.

 

 

In the hands of a professional car service provider, your car's maintenance and repair log will become valuable. 

 

Companies like Tyre&Auto Southbourne Group can bring savings to an individual or a family because they can shoulder all the responsibilities involved in your car where they will also encourage you to do or focus on more productive tasks instead.

 

Take good care of your car so that it will maintain its good condition for a long, long time.

 

The Norton Online Shopping Survey reveals that 20 percent of Kiwis find online shopping stressful because of security worries yet 37 percent still do not check a website’s security before shopping online and only 17 percent of those who bother to check are fully confident they know what to look for.

 

"New Zealand’s love affair with online shopping has seen one in three Kiwis spend more than two hours per week shopping online," said Mark Gorrie, Director, Norton Business Unit, Pacific region, Symantec.

 

"However with the number of people affected by online crime continuing to rise[1], scammers are constantly refining their skills and targeting New Zealanders with malicious links and scams containing ‘too good to be true’ deals to steal their credit cards details and personal information.

 

"While the Norton Online Shopping Survey shows that New Zealanders are concerned about security when they shop online, some Kiwis are still choosing to not act on these concerns and putting themselves at risk of identity theft and credit card fraud," Gorrie added.

 

 

Over two thirds of New Zealanders (68 percent) worry most about having their credit card details stolen, whilst half of respondents (51 percent) admitted they were fearful of purchasing goods from an untrustworthy or illegitimate site.

 

In addition, New Zealanders were concerned about falling victim to a data breach from an online retailer and having a username and password leaked from an online retailer - both at 35 percent. Surprisingly, 12 percent of those surveyed were not concerned by any of these risks at all.

 

Many of these security concerns are warranted with approximately 17 percent of New Zealanders experiencing credit card fraud as a result of online shopping. Indeed the proportion might even be as high as 25 percent since eight percent said they have experienced credit card fraud but are not sure whether the fraudsters obtained their card details whilst they were shopping online or not.

 

Smartphone security also presents security challenges for New Zealanders shopping online. The majority of New Zealanders (80 percent) have used their smartphones to browse online shops and 62 percent have made online purchases using their smartphones. Interestingly one in three Kiwis (32 percent) have entered their credit card details on a mobile app yet more than half of all Kiwis (51 percent) are using unprotected smartphones. Only one third of New Zealanders who shop online use two factor authentication and nearly half (47 percent) do not even know what two factor authentication means.

 

 

- If it is too good to be true, it probably is. Be aware of the cheap price tag as free or discounted goods could end up being really costly. So if you have found the latest hot designer shoes, but for a tenth of the price, regardless of how nice they may be for your office Christmas party, they are probably not real. Cybercriminals are experts at creating websites and making them look identical to your favourite brand sites. Only shop at reputable online sites and avoid getting your credit card scammed.

 

- Beware of fake website links. Do not click on links in an email that appear to come from your favourite online store. Instead type the store’s address into your browser to avoid going to a malicious website.

 

Be smart with your passwords. Protect your accounts with strong, unique passwords that use a combination of at least 10 upper and lowercase letters, symbols and numbers to help keep the bad guys at bay. Make it difficult for attackers to access your information by changing your passwords every three months and not reusing passwords for multiple accounts. That way, if a cybercriminal gets your password, they can’t compromise all of your accounts. And if it is too overwhelming to keep up this practice, use a password manager to help.

 

Beware of phishing scams. Think twice before opening unsolicited messages or attachments, particularly from people you don’t know, or clicking on random links. The message may be from a cybercriminal who has compromised your friend or family member’s email or social media accounts.

 

Organise your online shopping. Set up an email account specifically to deal with online shopping. Provide as little information as possible to get the account set-up and don’t use it for anything else such as online banking, business correspondence or family matters.

 

Protect your bank details. Always look out for the ‘padlock’ icon or the Norton Secured Seal when making a payment online. These symbols indicate that the website you are visiting uses encryption to protect you, so cybercriminals cannot capture your personal information. Never let a website ‘remember’ your credit card details, always retype them if you want to shop there again.

 

Online payments. Even though it is the season of goodwill, avoid using public or shared computers, or even a wireless network to make a payment online. Hackers can easily capture your account information, log-in details and steal your money. Use a separate credit card with a small credit limit for online purchases.

 

Is your internet security software up-to-date? Update your security software regularly, especially during the festive season. Cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever before and they will jump on any social trend to spread malware and steal your personal details.

 

Check your statements. Always check your credit card statements to look out for unexpected transactions.

The Start up ecosystem in India has seen tremendous growth since 2010. With over 3000 start ups and 800 more every year, India is the 4th largest country after US and China. This reflects the growing entrepreneurial spirit and risk taking disposition emerging in the country, with most of the founders profiling in the average age group of 32 yrs of age. This is further encouraged by the new Start up policy that has been initiated by our Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi.

 

While the entrepreneurs/founders have ideas that can be potential game changers, they need to be guided on the policies, procedures, regulations, taxation and other directives that can complement their vision. A start up thus has to deal with a number of issues to grow into a successful organization. In this article, we will look into one of the initial aspects that contribute significantly to the success of the Start up that is “Structuring”.

 

 

Structuring in effect means designing/organising the Start up primarily from the point of view of:

 

·         Choice of legal entity

 

·         Choice of Jurisdiction

 

 

Most of the founders/entrepreneurs come from technical backgrounds and need to be guided on the appropriate legal entity and various formalities as it gives the basic identity to the Start up and ensures it does not get into any future legal hurdles.

 

The Start up can choose from any of the entities below:

 

1. Proprietorship: This works when the idea is new and you want to test at the proof of concept (POC) stage without inviting any investor and to avoid cumbersome legal compliances and expenses.

 

2. Partnership: This applies when you have two/more partners involved with an idea. For instance when 2 or more enthusiastic IITians come together with an idea and want to do POC of the same.  This form again involves bare minimum legal compliances & expenses.

 

Both of the above involve a personal liability in case of any losses/failures associated with the start up

 

3. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): This is a very popular entity at the POC stage where the promoters can restrict their personal liability with few legal compliances.

 

4. Company – Private Limited Company/Public Company: This is suitable for a more matured start up where the idea has been externally validated and is thereby moving on to the next level of growth. At this stage, an investor is typically sought for venture financing options.

 

 

A Start up can opt for inward structuring, whereby the promoter establishes the entity and does business within India. This option is best suited for local business, income & expenses. However, if your idea has a global appeal and has expenses to be payable outside India, then it may make sense to go for an outward structure, i.e. setting up the entity outside India.

 

Further if you are establishing a parent entity within the country or outside, you need to consider various implications. A Start up has to take into account the appropriate jurisdiction of the holding company as it needs to look into tax implications, adequate protection for its intellectual property, venture financing requirements, future potential of business to go global in which case the holding company may have to be shifted to an offshore location in future, and more. The decision has to be analysed from a long term perspective and accordingly structured at the initial stages. The Start up could also opt for an outward structure and choose a location/country with the preferred advantages. Singapore, for instance, has a number of government schemes and grants in various sectors and has also consistently topped the world rankings in ease of business.

 

In effect, structuring the right kind of Start up helps to mitigate future risks and avoid any complications that may arise while the Start up is nearing maturity.

 

In the forthcoming issues, we will cover other aspects affecting Start ups in detail.

Loganathan, representing India Business Solutions (IBS) which is a boutique advisory firm helping a lot of Start ups in India and Singapore in fulfilling their aspirations.  Loganathan is heading the Singapore operations of IBS and can be reached on loganathan.a@consultibs.sg.

You can get the widest variety of services and products in a mall. This is one of the great advantages of modern malls because everything we need is more than likely inside the building. 

 

 

Malls are like indoor parks full of familiar and unfamiliar faces gathering and walking around to different shops to buy or look for various stuff. It is a good place to hang-out with friends or family in a social environment.

 

 

You can visit the mall to eat delicious meals at any amazing restaurants. Cafes and food courts are almost everywhere so you could catch up with your friends at the mall. 

 

 

You can spend a whole day relaxing in the mall by shopping, dining, taking a movie and play games. Moreover, there are amazing massage spa and salon outlets inside malls, it really is a good place for relaxation. 

 

 

The enclosed, controlled environment inside the mall is one of its great advantages. In the mall, the temperature is controlled to the right temperature, neither too hot nor cold. You will definitely forget the weather once you are inside.

 

Malls are loved by many because they provide the above-mentioned advantages to the people in the best way possible. Since the mall is the most sought-after shopping destinations for many, entrepreneurs generally rent space inside the mall to sell their product or services. Bell Moore Group Inc. helps retailers to achieve their business goals by seeking the best possible space perfect for their venture.
