27 Jan 12 A Guide to becoming a plumber
The first step in becoming a plumber is deciding whether a plumbing career is right for you. Plumbers are in demand with more home being built and previous plumbing materials used in commercial buildings and property needing replacing. There is always a shortage of plumbers and space in the market for those looking to enter into the trade.
There are two main ways to becoming a fully qualified plumber. If you are between the ages of 17 and 19 years you may want to begin by enrolling on an apprenticeship course through your local college or educational institution.
Apprenticeships generally consist of three to four years of on the job training as well of a select amount of time spent in the class room. Apprenticeships allow candidates to learn the basic skills needed for a career in the industry, such as identifying different grades of pipe and the best practice for using industry regulated tools.
An alternative to the apprenticeship scheme and favouring mature students is the PPC4 Plumbing Courses qualification. The first stage of the scheme will enable you to begin working as a professional plumber as soon as you feel confident enough to do so. The scheme also includes qualifications such as the water supply regulations and domestic installer certificates which are important to have if you wish to go into homes to carry out work.
Become fully qualified with plumbing courses
According to the plumbing authorities (BLS), job opportunities for plumbers will be good in the future especially for those with experience, so it is suggested that starting at a young age as an apprentice would be an ideal way to get into the trade. The plumbing qualifications do not restrict candidates to regular household tasks but also provide a basis for other occupations such as construction work, oil and gas safety as well as working on large commercial projects. In fact the professions of pipe layers, pipe fitters, plumbers and steamfitters combined are one of the largest and highest paid trade occupations in the UK with no shortage of work.
Overall, being a plumber can be a very rewarding career prospect and if you like the idea of being out of the office in a hands on job role, being your own boss or working for a construction company then plumbing sounds like something you should consider. Plumbing courses have little if any entry requirements and your eagerness to learn new skills within the industry is what will decide whether you will make it as a successful plumber.

27 Jan 12 The Consumer Guide to Electricians
There are many things that you can do to ensure that the electrician that comes into your home is fully qualified with the right electrician courses to do the job at hand. Too many people have come to me in the past to fix electrical problems in the home that have been made worse by unqualified electricians when the job should only be a quick fix.
Below I have outlined a few priority checks that can be made to ensure that you will obtain professional advice from a quality source.
Don’t take over the phone quotes as the main source of contact
Like with many services some black hat electricians may try and give you a price over the phone which may be far too high for the job required. They may also provide you with a price and then add “additional costs” once they have started the job leaving the consumer in situation where if they would like a job finished they have to pay the extra costs. To avoid this, ask around for a number of quotations and make sure that they assess the situation with their own eyes.
Ask for a reference
If you are looking to get a large job completed around the home then it is best practice to ask for a reference for other large jobs that the electrician has previously completed. Jobs such as a complete house re-wire would be an ideal time to ask for references. Although if you only need a small job doing, such as adding a couple of plug sockets you may not wish to ask for references.
Check for qualifications or electrician course certifications
It is best to check to see if the electrician is certified to carry out the proposed electrical work. Electrician PEC2 course qualifications provide an ideal way of identifying whether the technician has taken and passed the industry standard to become an electrician.
Alternatively the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), the main trade association for electricians in the UK can provide you with confirmation of an electrician’s identity. The NICEIC has over 20,000 approved contractors who have been screened to a high standard.
Don’t be bogged down in an emergency
If the scenario arises where you need to call out an electrician after regular working hours then it is best that you still ask around a few providers to ask for prospective quotes. Or if you know someone that can recommend a provider that they have previously used then give them a try. Don’t feel that as it is an emergency you have no choice but to agree to the first valuation.

Air Partner has opened a specialist cargo department at its Milan office in Italy as part of its strategic expansion plan to develop its worldwide freight charter services.

“Air Partner’s ability to provide local expert knowledge 24/7 is a key factor when clients choose to appoint us as their partner for bespoke aviation charter requirements.

24 Jan 12 Ten Top Baby Advice Tips
Following the birth of a new baby, parents are often faced with the task of putting into practice all the useful advice and tips they have either read or have been given by friends and family. What is the best baby advice and what is most helpful? Who better to ask than parents themselves? Ten parents shared their top tips with us. These tips describe some of the interesting ways in which they began to work together even during pregnancy, to bring something different to their experience of having a baby:
Five top baby advice tips from fathers:
1. Work on your upper body strength as babies grow really quickly.
2. Develop a birth plan with your partner to make sure both of you understand what is expected to happen and when.
3. Develop a post-birth plan with your partner. If your baby is due to be born in a hospital find out from the hospital if you need to bring the baby home in a car seat, (we were surprised by this one) if not what are the hospital requirements?
4. Always change the baby from the side to avoid being peed on.
5. Have something to do when your wife is resting or in hospital after the birth, have a list of people to call to give the good news.
Five top baby advice tips from mothers:
1. Whilst pregnant, talk to other mums and expectant mums.
2. If possible give yourselves at least two weeks after the birth to spend alone together with your new baby.
3. Give up on everything in the first 6 weeks of the baby’s life and cuddle a lot.
4. See beyond the birth, what support networks do you have, are you a member of an NCT class. Especially important if you have no immediate family around you can trust.
5. Enjoy it! Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You can only do what you can do (That might be three).
Finally, my own last bit of baby advice. Remember, you are the expert on your body, your baby and your relationship. Observe your babies; be alert to their ‘baby clues’ as they try to tell you what they need. Babies try to let us know if they are tired, need a cuddle or are hungry. If any thing doesn’t feel right to you, go to the doctor or speak to your health visitor. It is much better to share your feelings than worry alone. Take time to adjust. A baby alters everything.
Give yourself time to get to know your baby and understand the changes they bring to your relationship. Having a baby may be the hardest thing you will ever have to do but is also the most rewarding, so hang on in there and be patient with yourself and each other.
So there you have the top ten baby advice
tips from real parents, all fairly practical and reasonable, as you might expect from parents.
Thecoupleconnection.net provides baby advice tips for new parents as well as professional relationship advice that will enable couples to start to understand their own relationships a bit more, and then take steps to try and make these relationships work better.

17 Jan 12 Romantic Getaways in Prague
Prague city breaks are ideal for couples looking for a romantic trip away and there is a multitude of couple-specific activities to enjoy in the Czech Republic capital. The city’s long and interesting history can be seen at every turn with its winding mazes of old fashioned cobbled lanes that lead explorers to a fairytale-like castle that overlooks the entire city from its domineering hillside location. Romantic strolls on the banks of the twisting river, wandering the famous Prague Christmas Market and exploring the hidden secrets in the city centre make Prague the ultimate European romantic city destination.
The Old City
The Old City is home to a collection of restaurants and eateries that cater to a wide range of palates. Good pizzas, traditional German sausages and fine French dining can all be enjoyed here and many couples choose to dine here before catching a concert in one of the many local theatres. The Old City is somewhat unique in its ability to effortlessly blend old with new as modern and uber trendy restaurants can be found in narrow lanes lined with cobbled stones that allow you to experience all kinds of attractions at once. A bevy of museums and art galleries are also located here as well as a host of cosmopolitan coffee shops, boutique stores and funky bars that have a romantic air about them due to their historic location.
Golden Prague
The Vitava River winds its way through the city and there are many bridges that arch their way over the water that provide great view points of the city scape. The architecture in Prague is interesting to explore, and couples visiting the city may wish to spend an afternoon strolling around the different buildings that range from modern and chic through to historic and charming.
The Dancing House is a must-see while in Prague on a romantic break and the strange, wonky building also boasts a French restaurant on the rooftop that offers great views over the city.

The Prague Christmas Market is one of the most famous and most popular in the whole of Europe and as one would often expect from a cold, Christmas market; roasted chestnuts, mulled wines and wooden stalls filled with a variety of potential gifts abound here. Tall pines trees are seemingly everywhere during the crisp, Christmas period and the smell of fir needles fill the air at every turn.
The aptly named Prague Castle is known for being one of the most intricate castles in the world and the original building oozes history with its build-date dating back to the 10th century. The castle is eerie yet enchanting, historic yet not ruinous and dark but romantic with its medieval architecture. No Prague city break is complete without an exploration of the Prague Castle!
Whether you choose to visit Prague with your partner, a group of friends or on your own; there are endless things to do and see on your city break…

17 Jan 12 10 Tips help you prepare for your CAIA Exams
Passing both levels of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst qualification is a serious proposition for the busy finance professional. With time and energy being such a precious resource, it is important to study in a productive way that maximises the chance of success. Kaplan Financial has many years experience guiding candidates successfully through the CAIA program and has the following guidance for any candidate wishing to gain the designation.
Structure your studies carefully
Don’t let the exam creep up on you! Set out a detailed week-by-week study plan in advance that schedules when you will read through each topic. For example, you could maybe allocate a topic a week for level 1 meaning you will spend 7 full weeks reading through the material. Even if you don’t stick religiously to this schedule, the simple fact it is there will prompt you to act should you fall too far behind!
Questions questions questions
By far and away the most important factor in differentiating yourself as a successful candidate is to start question practice as soon as you can. You can never see too many questions! On this point, make sure your study schedule above finishes at least two or three weeks prior to the examination in order that you have enough time for question practice.
Stay focused on the Learning Objectives
Especially at Level II, you must stay focused on what you could be asked to do in the exam. Remember each question in the exam is tied to a curriculum learning objective which has a specific command word (e.g. describe/compare/contrast etc.). For instance, do not concern yourself with calculations you will not be asked to carry out in the exam!
Use exam-focused preparation provider notes
Whilst some people prefer to study from the underlying curriculum, most candidates find the curriculum readings go way beyond the volume and technical detail required by the learning outcomes to pass the examination. Using preparation provider notes like those offered by Schweser™ saves time that might otherwise be wasted on complicated un-testable material
Take a course!
Pass rates on courses offered by Kaplan Financial are consistently above those pass rates of the general industry. One hour in the classroom with a tutor experienced in guiding candidates towards the important topics and breaking down common problems when first encountering the material can be worth several hours of self-study at home
Don’t buy the Ethics text listed under the curriculum page on the CAIA website – it’s free from the CFA® publications website!
Some candidates unfortunately spend money on purchasing the Standard of Practice Handbook since it is the underlying curriculum reading for the ethics part of both levels of the examination. Don’t do this since the document can be downloaded for free from www.cfapubs.org
Use all resources available to you
The CAIA Association® offers examination-style questions and guidance on the exam experience in their ‘study guides’ under the curriculum section on the website. Make sure you use this valuable resource!
Make sure you know which calculations you could be asked to do – and make sure you can do them!
At both levels, particularly at level II, it is a very useful exercise to pick out of the Learning Outcomes all those that include the command words “calculate”, “compute”, or “evaluate” and make sure that you can carry out the calculation associated with the learning objective. This will also stop you from wasting time worrying about calculations you will not be asked to do in the exam!
At Level II, do not overly worry about the constructed response section!
By far and away the biggest mistake made at level II is to worry too much about the 30% constructed response (or “essay”) section of the exam. Candidates often disproportionately allocate time to this section and end up running out of time on the multiple choice section which has over twice the weighting!
Practice answering questions under timed conditions
Especially for the multiple choice section in level II, candidates often report that time was pressurised. Candidates should get “exam fit” by doing as many timed mock exams as possible. Also don’t forget to debrief those mocks correctly chasing up gaps in knowledge and guessed answers should take at least as long as doing the mock exam in the first place!
Kaplan also delivers a comprehensive range of Financial Markets Training Courses & Qualifications to prepare candidates working in investment banks, and asset managers and wealth managers for regulatory and professional examinations leading to qualifications including IMC, CISI Certificates, IOC, CAIA and FRM.

17 Jan 12 Technologies behind virtual offices
It would seem that the definition of the work place is changing. It is debatable that the idea of the traditional sense of the work place is no longer as important as it has been previously due to a surge in new technologies. The relevance of workplace is in jeopardy as virtual offices have been integrated into business. The availability and advances in mobile devices systems, faster network access and collaboration tools mean that workers can be productive anywhere.
Cloud storage is the latest buzz in IT and within businesses who are integrating systems into their workplace. Cloud computing works as a service in which shared recourses such as documents and software are provided to numerous devices which is usually used within virtual or serviced offices. Although this technology is not new, cloud computing entails some key qualities which appeal to multiple industries today.
Virtual offices are a great way for businesses to save money and energy resources. Cloud computing allow business to run paper free creating a greener and inexpensive way to be productive. Think of the cloud as an ever growing online storage cabinet, which happens to be online. The appeal of online storage facilities comes from accessibility and convenience. Not only does the cloud open easy access to documents and software but it can also be accessed via multiple devices, once again improving productivity.
Another advantage to cloud computing is a ‘buy as you need’ system. Businesses can buy as much or as little storage space as they see fit. For example serviced offices may store some of their documents in their offices. This system benefits businesses as they can avoid paying out for more space than is needed, and can add additional storage at any time if needs be. Business will no longer need to worry about backing up important documents as they are readily available on the cloud for use or simply safe keeping.
Holding meetings online is now common practice in most industries and the same applies for virtual offices. Web conference software has become increasingly popular as it is a quick and easy way to instantly improve productivity. All that is needed is an internet connection and some software to host a web conference, a web and video conference or a webinar.
Web conference software can vary in price and packages depending on the individual needs of the business, but can be regarded as a sound investment. With technology bring greater opportunities for businesses to expand which is why this software is so important to modern productivity.
In addition virtual offices which participate in web conferences can also share applications as well as open and view documents as you would do in a face to face meeting. Not only does this software allow businesses to hold regular meetings with clients and other business around the world, but it also cuts back on travel expenses and saves a lot of time, which could be used productively for the business.
Now obtaining virtual or serviced offices is very straight forward with the ever expanding range of technologies and services. Although not a new technology IVR (interactive voice response) is a telephony technology which allows its user to access and enter information to a database via a touch tone telephone. Although IVR can be used in serviced offices, this technology is ideal for those in virtual offices as no human interaction is required. Instead access is predetermined by what the IVR system will allow the user access to.
Another way business can effectively utilize IVR technology to enhance productivity is to gather information. Surveys and enquiries which would traditionally be taken by a person can now go through this automated service in which the customer is prompted to answer questions by pushing the buttons on a touch tone telephone.
It is apparent that virtual offices can provide the necessities to build and obtain productivity and businesses. This is even more relevant to smaller businesses that do not require the accommodations of a large and expensive office. The benefits continue to grow along with beneficial technologies and industries alike.
