Can hyperlink to some in the posts right here because they are very. Many thanks considerably. Zoey Olsen

The journey to success is often a mix of sour and sweet. Understanding the fundamentals form a good basis for proof-of-concept activities. Funding at this stage is difficult. To come out with a market leader, we need to study the existing products in the market. I shall proceed if the size of market is big enough. My benchmark is RM100 million. In Chinese it is called 1 Yee. Well, I like it because it is my first name.My friends always tease me for not being able to strike even a million at 55 when I am supposed to retire from the government. I admit that I am a slow learner. It took me 10 years for a small step for the last 35 years. I got a Diploma in the 70s, first degree in the 80s, Masters in the 90s and PhD in the new millennium. With a bit of luck I got my promotion as Professor within 10 years after PhD. The next P is to be a P.Eng. I still need another 7 months of site experience to qualify for the professional interview. Niaga Sari has agreed to allow me to be on site for that duration in KL. I got the permission from my Dean to use my annual leave to fulfill that requirement. I shall strive to make it happen before I retire at 58.Ash and aggregate are my favourite areas. I am passionate to turn ash into foamed aggregate for construction on peat. Prof DC of UEL requires high temperature of around 700oC to produce manufactured aggregate. Foamed aggregate is produced at temperature below 100oC. It has economical and environmental advantages. However, there are a few technical shortcomings to be overcome. Blended cement for geotechnical waterproofing applications offer the solution.YB Bolhassan noticed my exhibit related to road on peat at MTE2009 in PWTC. I asked for RM3 million for 1 km stretch of trial embankment in Sibu. He has no objection and called Ir Safri of JKR Sarawak on the spot. Safri said there was no such allocation. YB assured me that he will try to get it from MOSTI.Dato’ Ismail Bakar, the Head of RECESS led a team of researchers to meet Vincent Tang to support the venture. He is the Divisional Engineer of JKR Sarawak in Sibu. After my presentation, he suggested a 2.3 km stretch of road to be upgraded to a dual carriage way in Sibu. My estimate was RM10 million.I experimented with the use of scrap tyres and foamed aggregate with encouraging results at RECESS. Two papers were accepted for presenttion and publication, one for MUCEET and the other for CIRAIC 2009. However, the reality is that RECESS is not located on peat. need to try the reinforced peat (REPEAT) concept in Sibu.In order to establish the actual cost of construction, I approached the Shin Yang group and the Sabu group, both have construction projects in Sibu. Ernie, a UTHM alumni works for Shin Yang on the road to the Port. I need to construct at least 100 m to establish realistic cost data and the evaluation of technical performance. I am looking for RM300,000. I hope the cost could be shared between UTHM and JKR Sarawak.A proposal was submitted to PPI for evaluation thorugh RECESS. Evaluation is scheduled for 2 October 2009.However, I shall accompany Dr Gomez meeting Johnny then. So I asked Koh to cover me in our defense for our proposal.I am confident to be able to deliver given the opportunity because of the support from Shin Yang and Sabu groups. Dato’ Ismail has got a postgraduate student there to cover the research components.The challenge now is to be able to design a system to meet the settlement criteria of around 200mm in 3 years. Modelling for immediate settlement, longer term consolidation and creep have to be carefully considered and quantified. I thought of seeking the advice of the Chinese professor who led the design and construction of the railway on ice in Tibet.I hope the success of the project in Sibu will make RECESS a renowned authority for road and construction on peat one day.

I noticed the following spam comment. IT advertises a wordpress plugin. There are free plugins that do the same job but the comments it makes about what the plugin does may be useful to novices…

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is not that great, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. WordPress Seo Plugin

Comment on What makes a successful Entrepreneur by Daniel Gold

Practical Advice for Starting a New Business Venture is an excellent book for entrepreneurs of all sorts. It covers such topics as brainstorming, resource gathering, business plans, legal entities, financing, exit strategies and presentations, and it does so in such a way that is concise and remarkably engaging.

Dr. Gold’s life as a `serial entrepreneur’ is fascinating and inspiring, and his first class education combined with his wealth of entrepreneurial success, give his advice and insights the highest level of credibility. Practical Advice for Starting a New Business Venture is an invaluable resource to any person who is either currently involved or thinking about getting involved in any type of new venture. I feel a huge amount better-off for having read this book.

Editors note. Technically this is a spam comment but it is on topic so I am going to allow it.
