IT Interest Group Meeting on 21-09-12 (Friday)

In the past, we were made to believe nothing is free. But now, we stand to be corrected that sometimes – free offers (free Apps – application programs) do exist. If accepted, it comes with risks and consequences. So the advice is, be selective
and know where the free application programs come from. Is there any organization or parties monitoring and checking these programs? Are these Apps programs come from malicious sites? In this month’s discussion, we will show you some of the reasonably safe sites (Apps programs) to have fun with – for all ages.

Please bring along your tablet, iPad or smart devices. We managed to obtain the use of a fully air-conditioned classroom to conduct our IT discussions. The Venue is at Leng Kee Community Centre (LKCC). Nearest MRT is Redhill MRT. Please see location map http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_4999/travel_site_11456/

As the classroom has limited space, we intend to limit the class size to 16 from SHC and possibly 4 from the public through LKCC. So far, with 13 pre-registered from SHC, we only have 3 vacancies left. For those who wish to attend, please provide me with your IC number (as required by the CC). Do not write your IC details in your comments to the post but email me separately through hewlee@gmail.com

The details:

Topic: Using the tablets, iPad and smart devices.
Date: 21.09.2012 (Friday)
Time: 3.00PM to 5.00PM
Course Fee: Free (no charge)
Venue: Leng Kee Community Centre (Nearest MRT – Redhill MRT)
Address: 400, Lengkok Bahru, Singapore 159049.
Please proceed to the Community Centre directly.
Size of Class: Limited to 20 (16 + 4)

It takes about five minutes to walk from Redhill MRT to LKCC. Direction: – Exit Redhill MRT Station, cross the road and turn right. Walk along Tiong Bahru Road and continue with Leng Kee Road until you reach the Chinese Temple. Ascend the few steps by the side of the temple and walk a short distance along the fence of the temple to the back gate of the LKCC.

Critical Thinking: Viewpoints

  • A few days ago I happened to catch on Talking
    Point (tv prog), a very interesting and informative talk on the topic "How to
    raise the fertility rate in S’pore". One of the viewers who called in suggested
    that a young married couple be allowed to jump queue and be allotted a flat on
    condition they produce a baby within a year. Immediately the two hosts and the
    panel of speakers laughed at the amusing suggestion, with a grinning host
    saying in general "what happens if there’s no baby after a year…"
  • I thought this kind of engagement is good for
    critical thinking and decided to start this post to provide an opportunity for
    interested members to write and share their views, thoughts, ideas…etc to
    questions/statements posed on this post. I think Silverhair can contribute to
    challenges facing our  nation. 
  • However. i must add that comments CRITICIZING
    other people’s opinions are NOT WELCOME. This post does
    not support superior/judgmental attitude.

To get the ball rolling, here is the first
poser: What can be done to increase the fertility rate in
S’pore?

  • Do you think adult children should give their
    parents a monthly allowance?
  • Are you comfortable with the idea of today’s
    youth asking the rich for expensive things?

Put on your thinking cap and cepat tulis/

Dave Lee – Introduction

Hi Everybody,

Just joined the club.

I am 61, still working, married with 2 grown sons and a wonderful wife. May retire soon though as work is now very stressful.

My interests are:

Leisure cycling on park connectors on most weekends (had covered most). Own a folding bicycly (Birdy) that can handle slopes so save my leg muscle. Usually about 25 to 30 Km each time with rest stops in between. Speed from 18 to 20 KMPH. I always cycle from East Coast to Garden By The Bay (not on the road) on Saturdays morning.

Ocassional local hiking and walking (with the wife) at the parks.

Jogging (5KM) only once a week only to save my knees.

Swimming once a week.

Fingerstyle guitar playing. Have tons of tabs.

I was a Toys collector. Now very low profile.

If you share some of the above, you can always write to me at meerobus@yahoo.com.sg.

Hannah Chiang – Intro

hi,

wow, ive wasted tons of time just figuring out how WordPress works!  Everything I’ve typed just disappears! My patience has been tested and tested. If this one disappears again after I finish, it’s definitely God’s Will to find another group of friends elsewhere!

1) I will turn 55 Sept 11 this year.  I dont remember how I found SHC, was about 6 years ago, I think, prob just stumbled in.

2) I participated in a cycling event once.  Taught roller blading to 2 of the lady members here.  Sort of just lost track of the happenings here.

3) I play table tennis with a group of TT enthusiasts most Sunday afternoons.  

4)I will stop here before I say more, or I might get so frustrated this page might disappear again!

till next time

IT Interest Group Venue for Monthly Discussion

In Apr 27th, I mentioned that we are looking for a suitable venue for IT Interest Group (ITIG) monthly discussion. 
I am pleased to inform, finally we have the green light to conduct our IT discussion in Leng Kee Community Centre on the 3rd Friday of each month. See location map http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_4999/travel_site_11456/

For those interested, please view post during the first week of the month to confirm your attendance. You can also feedback, on this post, any IT topic you are interested to further your skills.

For those interested, please note that the CC only provide us a classroom with tables and chairs, no computer. If you have your laptop, iPad, tablets or any smart devices, you can bring along to the classroom.

What if I decided to start a blog?

Terence have clear intention to pass over the mantle of hosting the Silverhairs website and is still waiting for an interested party or the SHE will take over. I cannot imagine having SHC without Terence. What will it be like if he is not around to check on us?

Since joining SHC I have invested a lot of time and effort in organizing activities for the Club. I feel a sense of belonging, we get to meet new friend and doing a lot of thing together. The feelings was great as we rub shoulders with all kind of people.

I still remember my first outing at the Botanic Gardens and having to meet the Indian Chief in person. Such an unassuming man he is. It make you want to be part of this group of people.

If I run a blog, my expectation is to remove two taboos. MLM will be permitted subjected to certain contraints and religion can be discuss only with regard to Bible studies. Discrimination and derogatory remarks about other religions is not permitted.

MLM plays a part in my life and need to be fully explored. Religion matters to me because I want to stay connected with eternal values and hope!

What is your view?

The last SHC Live! was a good success; and I like to make it more frequent for now.  This will give more members an opportunity to meet other members, especially the new ones.  Technology has made it possible for seniors like us to communicate without leaving our homes.  Imagine we are 80 years old, and cannot walk or leave our homes, and we can still talk with one another live over the internet.  I will moderate the initial few events, and then I will ask fellow members to act as EOs to take initiative to organise SHC Live!, especially those sessions with agenda.  Please raise your hands, dont be shy.

Next SHC Live!

Home-based marketing as a secondary source of income?

Mention MLM and there will be a lot of people screaming ‘no no’! Can a taboo be broken? I know I am treading on the precipice but I feel that this is something that need to be discuss.

Multi-level marketing utilises a combination of direct marketing and franchising. MLM have an image problem because of difficulties in distiguishing between legitimate network marketing and illegal pyramid selling, "ponzi scheme" or scam.

Life is about choices, then came MLM, work hard for three to five years and then you never have to work again. Is this possible? The answer lies in the one word "leverage". MLM is also about personal development and and business education.

A new and powerful trend is emerging, the marriage of MLM and internet maketing to connect with their distributors. The internet is a 24/7 and accessible anywhere and anytime. Physical contrains is no longer an issue. Cross borders business are now possible so is overseas recruitments

The questions now is why, is it because we worry most will take advantage of free advertisements on this post or? Most MLM distributors have their own websites, they can tap on Facebook, Twitters and so many other blogs to promote their ware.

I hope we can have a lively discussion here and should there be any qualms, let put is down here. Why deny us an opportunty to earn a secondary source of income in our twilight years?
