I think the inscription's aim might have been to stress that this is ship's bell as opposed to a Temple's bell, etc. I am a Native tamil speaker and there are quite a few "bell" words in Tamil
Nice! Good counterpoints! I also noted that your screen name is "cijt" is the reverse of the parent "tjic", nicely done!

Thanks for the suggestion! We have currently outsourced to someone but I am afraid they wont be able to handle our scale soon. I am currently reviewing zenefits and Zenpayroll, but thought will be worthwhile to understand the details before making a decision.

Ask HN: US Payroll, employee benefits

I want to learn about US payroll, employee benefits (Health insurance, 401 (K)) etc from an entrepreneur /employer perspective. Is there a good book or blog that will help me get started?

1. Easy availability of guns 2. Lack of a family based society. In my opinion, insanity gets aggravated by loneliness

I was (and still) using iOS 6.0.1 when I started seeing the surge in data usage

Now that explains the sudden spurt in my 3G data usage in the last 3 weeks. This forced me to switch off my 3G :(. Hope Apple releases a fix soon
