THE E-RECIPE EXCHANGE.(Features)

Byline: Victoria Stewart

HOW many recipe chain emails can you receive and delete in one week? Five in my case but friends have done worse. On Facebook, a group called "I like to cook! (Recipe Exchange). No snail mail" has 750 members and the opening line: "If you have ever tried that email recipe exchange chain letter, you may well be disappointed". But whether or not you liked chocolate bar chain letters during the Nineties, their instant e-versions are dropping into Londoners' inboxes.

The principle is the same but snail mail is replaced with email. It goes like this: "Hello fellow cooks. You're invited to take part in a recipe exchange. I thought of you specifically because you're a great cook/adventurous/a potential timewaster [delete as appropriate]. Please send one of your favourite recipes to the person in first position. Next, copy this letter into a new email, bump me up to number one and send it, Bcc'd, to 20 friends. If you cannot do this within five days, please let me know so it will be fair to those participating."

While these are loaded with the best intentions for sharing friends' greatest food secrets, the final line can only appeal to the true timewaster.

"You should receive 36 recipes. Seldom does anyone drop out because we all need new ideas," it warns.

London food writer Oliver Thring agrees that in principle recipe echains are a friendly idea but "if people want new recipes they already know where to get them on the internet. Users of the web divide into those who think it's OK to spam people with chain mail and those who run a mile. Recipe e-chainers fall into the former category."

Camilla Grey of Moving Brands says there is a touch of Nineties nostalgia attached. "The people you're getting emails from were circulating the letters the first time round. We're at that perfect tipping point. But with emails, it feels more urgent. They've replaced the letter in importance as it sits in your inbox looking at you until you react."

Sadly, I have ruined each of my five recipe chain emails by not replying. My intentions to answer never quite materialised and, thankfully, I have now been struck off the e-lists.

CHONGQING TELECOM BUILDS MASSIVE SMART WI-FI WITH RUCKUS.(Company overview)

Ruckus Wireless has announced that Chongqing Telecom, a unit of China Telecom, has selected its Smart Wi-Fi products and technology for a large-scale, citywide deployment of Wi-Fi hotspots supporting an innovative new service called Tianyi Broadband.

Chongqing Telecom has now deployed over 4,000 Ruckus ZoneFlex indoor and outdoor Smart Wi-Fi access points (APs) along with ZoneDirector WLAN controllers across the city. Situated in southwestern mainland China with a population of 31 million people and covering 31,800 square miles, Chongqing is one of four direct-controlled municipalities by the People's Republic of China, the largest province in China.

The Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi APs now cover hundreds of hot zones within five districts and have been installed in a wide range of locations spanning from universities to restaurants, office buildings to shopping centers and public venues.

"It's very clear that smarter Wi-Fi has now become a strategic imperative by Tier 1 carriers around the world to deal with the Mobile Internet," said Selina Lo, president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless. "Chongqing Telecom is widely viewed as a leader in their use and deployment of Smart Wi-Fi to deal with the explosion of dual-band devices that are consuming and generating huge amounts of data traffic. Operators like Chongqing are quickly recognizing the need for carrier-class Wi-Fi solutions designed for this specific purpose." According to Chongqing, with the proliferation of mobile devices, subscribers are now accessing the Internet from every conceivable location.

Tianyi Broadband, a user-centric solution that bundles wired broadband, Wi-Fi and CDMA 3G in the same package, allows users to connect to China Telecom's services through a single account. Services include email, SMS, Tianyi-live (a chat service), love music (streaming music) and Tianyi video (video streaming).

Chongqing's stated aim was to give subscribers the same Internet experience wherever they are: at home or outside, with the same user account for them to use in any location. Therefore, it was critical to have a high performance and very reliable mobile network to deliver that experience. By offloading data traffic from the current CDMA 1X and EVDO to Wi-Fi, Chongqing is delivering a superior user experience without dramatically investing, while adding new capacity to the

3G infrastructure, operation and maintenance. Wi-Fi represents the ideal complement to Chongqing's existing wireline network providing broader and reliable wireless coverage to mobile Internet subscribers. By linking with CHINANET, the backbone of Chinese public Internet operated and managed by China Telecom, Chongqing Telecom can more easily and flexibly provide users with high-speed Internet access nearly everywhere they roam.

According to Chongqing Telecom, a key challenge has been to achieve good stable network coverage across schools, hospitals, shopping malls, commercial streets, hotels, office buildings and other environments where unlicensed spectrum is inherently unpredictable. Chongqing said it selected Ruckus because of its ability to deliver reliable connectivity on such a large scale at the most attractive price point. According to the company, Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi systems were found to be among the easiest to manage and deploy. More importantly, Ruckus was the only Wi-Fi supplier Chongqing found to deliver predictable throughput in such challenging RF environments.

In public and private venues alike, there are now many other Wi-Fi networks that cause considerable interference. Ruckus patented technology was able to elegantly mitigate interference for Chongqing through the use of dynamic beamforming technology. This saved Chongqing from the worries of not delivering good throughput to support demanding applications such as music and video chatting.

Ruckus' patented BeamFlex smart antenna array technology with complete RF management, constantly focuses and directs RF signals over the best path for each client. This reduces co-channel interference between access points (APs) and minimizes packet loss while extending signal coverage. With the technology, Chongqing was able to significantly reduce the number of APs to cover a given area and lower operational and capital expense compared with alternative solutions.

Chongqing's new Smart Wi-Fi infrastructure includes thousands of ZoneFlex 2741 outdoor 802.11g and indoor ZoneFlex 2942 802.11g APs. Every Ruckus ZoneFlex AP uniquely integrates a dual-polarized, high-gain intelligent antenna array that allows operators to build a new class of hotspots capable of supporting streaming multimedia services.

For management, Chongqing deployed new, high-capacity ZoneDirector controllers with WAPI and IPv6 support. The Ruckus ZoneDirector supports a variety of applications needed to plan, deploy and operate the wireless network, including Wi-Fi planning, user authentication/billing and integrating with operators' management systems. With the combination of campus network and value-added services from Tianyi, Chongqing Telecom is able to gain ROI more quickly.

With the ZoneDirectors, Chongqing makes use of multiple service set identifiers (SSIDs) to allow for a range of differentiated services at each hotspot. For example, wireless services on a university campus can be divided into two different types the campus network access for students and faculty, and the service used for high speed Internet access to meet different demands of students, teachers and visitors.

Today, subscribers can enjoy quality wireless broadband services in any Chongqing hotspot. Looking forward, Chongqing said it plans to extend the Wi-Fi network to suburbs and rural areas to achieve complete coverage across the entire city.

This initial purchase commitment that will be delivered over the next 3 months exceeds $625,000 and has the potential to bear significant additional revenue during the coming fiscal year with follow on commitments to purchase the 40 Gb/s optical receivers.

"This design win with a major OEM based in China, who is a key supplier to the rapidly growing BRIC, markets confirms that our efforts at penetrating the China OEM market are beginning to bear fruit and could provide significant future revenue," said Robin (Rob) Risser, CFO of API and General Manager of Picometrix. "This design win is only one of several design wins with tier 1 OEMs based in China that were are pursuing. We anticipate additional design wins in both 100 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s products that will move to volume production status during the next fiscal year." The BR-40D exemplifies the company's continued technology leadership in 40 Gb/s and emerging 100 Gb/s high-speed optical receivers. Picometrix offers the industry's most complete line of 100 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s HSOR solutions for both client-side and line-side modulation formats, including NRZ, RZ, DPSK, DQPSK, ODB, DP-QPSK and DP-BPSK.

The new design win is for 40 Gb/s long haul communications in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems that utilizes 40Gb/s DPSK (differential phase-shift keying) modulation. Our receiver utilizes the company's patented photodiode arrays to limit timing skew, which is important for DPSK modulation schemes that are used in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. DPSK modulation takes advantage of phase modulation to extend transmission distances with high tolerance to crosstalk. This in turn lowers cost for systems implementation and decreases power consumption.

Asset sales benefit all.

THE PROPOSED sale of state assets has caused some hand-wringing by economic illiterates fretting over the risk of foreign ownership.

Someone needs to tell them we sold much of godzone decades ago.

New Zealand has an exceptionally high level of household and commercial debt secured against property, leaving only a sliver of equity in the hands of the nominal landowners. The old joke about the bank owning the house is funny because it is true and our banks are owned by the Australians.

The angst over the sale of the Crafar farms to foreigners misses the point that receivers were appointed by Westpac and Rabobank. These properties are already owned by overseas interests.

If the proposed investors were fronted by Shania Twain and not May Wang I am sure there would be less fuss.

Foreign money brings foreign expertise. Today's youth suffer anxiety attacks if they exceed their monthly text allowance. I suspect their synapses would melt if they had to endure a six-week wait for a landline phone connection, the norm from state-owned Telecom in the 1980s, before Prebble sold it to the Americans.

American capital and know-how transformed Telecom from a moribund behemoth into a dynamic enterprise driving the explosion of telecommunications infrastructure that propelled New Zealand into the internet age. The new American owners took their dividends but these were dwarfed by the benefits returned to the wider economy by a transformed Telecom.

Try building Trade Me on a telecommunications network made from number 8 wire.

A farmer borrowing money to develop his farm may lose equity in the land but if he ends up selling more milk to China the overseas lender, the Kiwi farmer, and the Chinese consumer all benefit.

When we as New Zealanders swap some of our assets for cash our net wealth remains unaffected. If the new owner invests and develops that asset New Zealand makes an economic gain.

We buy coffee at Starbucks but, at the same time, Josef Roberts is building Burger Fuel stores in Dubai, John Key owns property in Maui and Peter Jackson bought a private jet with the money made from foreigners watching his hobbits.

New Zealand is facing capacity constraints in our electricity infrastructure, in generation capacity and in the transmission and distribution networks. There is a need for ongoing investment in infrastructure and technology.

It makes sense that an industry so critical to our economic wellbeing benefits from international capital and the expertise that comes with that.

The debate over the benefits of foreign investment has long been settled.

Company News: As Layaway Grows in Popularity, More Merchants Are Using eLayaway to Manage Their Programs

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Feb 01, 2011 - eLayaway, Inc. (OTCBB: ELAY), the Internet's first and only patent pending layaway payment processor, announced today that January 2011 saw the Company's biggest increase in merchant acquisitions and new merchant inquiries. Although only twelve new merchants were chosen to join the eLayaway network last month, the diversity of their offerings will provide eLayaway members with more variety and some unique niche products. Backyard Discovery (swingsetsonline.com) and eSpecial Needs (eSpecialNeeds.com), both new eLayaway merchants for 2011, are perfect examples of how eLayaway can serve markets beyond those traditionally served by layaway programs of the past.

eLayaway, Inc. closed at $0.085 on Monday, trading 54,925 shares.

About eLayaway

eLayaway is an online payment system that allows consumers to pay for the products and services they desire using manageable periodic payments, thereby making purchases affordable and easy to budget. Payments are automatically drafted from the consumer's designated bank account via Automated Clearing House ("ACH") on the modifiable schedule set by the consumer at the time of purchase. A flat 1.9% transaction fee is charged to the consumer and all payments are held in an account in trust at HSBC Bank and transferred to the merchant once full payment has been made. Like traditional layaway programs of the past, delivery of the product or service occurs once payment is complete. Payment processing and supporting services are handled by eLayaway while merchants provide order fulfillment. For many online merchants, eLayaway offers an opportunity to provide layaway to their customers as a means to expand market share while reducing the administrative requirements of traditional layaway. Merchants are now turning to payment alternatives such as eLayaway in order to take advantage of opportunities that increase sales and profits. Today, approximately one-half of all consumers do not qualify for credit. eLayaway provides an alternative payment method that allows these consumers to make the purchases they desire while enabling merchants to sell additional products on an immediate basis. In addition to eLayaway.com, the Company also owns and operates eLayawaySPORTS.com, eLayawayTRAVEL.com and eLayawayHEALTH.com. eLayaway, Inc. was founded in 2005.
