A significant new analysis of the economic potential of video, data and voice systems that work together over the Internet -- known collectively as Unified Communications (UC) -- demonstrates that when these collaboration technologies are interoperable, they deliver clear commercial and consumer benefits.
The paper, written by Dr. Michael Katz and Dr. Bryan Keating, studies the current unified communications market. The Katz/Keating study outlines the potential negative outcomes for the market of some UC vendors refuse to adopt industry standards that would enable video-to-video calls between different systems.
"The economic effects of incompatibility are not an abstract academic theory," Katz said. "There are real, everyday consequences to economic growth, consumer well-being and business productivity when one company has a proprietary Internet video system that does not work with others. This means less jobs will be created and people and businesses will not be able to communicate as freely, thus negatively affecting global economic potential. Our strong view is that government should monitor this market carefully to ensure that the implementation of standards is not blocked by dominant players seeking to gain competitive advantage."
UC technologies -- especially video calling -- have been found to improve collaboration, boost productivity, reduce travel costs and enable remote training and services in health care and education.
However, according to the research by Katz and Keating, industry standards are critical to the future growth of the UC market. The market study reports that analysts at both Gartner and Frost & Sullivan find that interoperability is an important consideration for enterprise customers and that standards will increase flexibility for users as well as help lower costs.
"UC has the potential to be a huge growth industry at a time when many sectors are stalling," Keating said. "As with the Internet, we can't afford to have a 'go-it-alone' mentality in this area. We must do everything we can to ensure that companies adhere to the common global standard for video calling so that businesses and consumers reap the full benefits of these compelling communications platforms."
The study, commissioned by Cisco, included these findings:
- UC technologies have significant potential to increase business productivity but the lack of interoperability is an impediment to widespread adoption.
- UC is particularly susceptible to market failures that could impede standards based interoperability: (a) there are powerful network effects, meaning that the technologies become more valuable as more users are connected; (b) there are significant costs associated with using multiple vendors or switching from one to another; and, (c) certain vendors have large installed bases and important complementary products.
- Under prevalent market conditions, those vendors who would gain a competitive advantage when networks are proprietary can have incentives to thwart interoperability by undermining industry standards or refusing to adopt them.
- For these reasons, Katz/Keating conclude, the UC market should be monitored closely for signs of specific anti-competitive conduct. When there is evidence of conduct that could or has adversely affected competition through effects on interoperability, government should address that conduct and impose appropriate remedies that would ensure adherence to agreed-upon industry standards.
The economic study follows two recent surveys in the U.S. and in Europe which showed strong support for video technologies working together. Nearly four in five likely U.S. voters surveyed believe it is important for technologies such as video calling to work together to help create jobs, promote innovation and deliver critical benefits in remote health care, education, business and other services. And 84 percent of European consumers surveyed believe that video calling should be as easy as making a phone call.
The use of video by consumers, government and business is growing at a staggering rate. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, in just three years, one million video minutes (the equivalent of 674 days) will traverse the Internet every second. Use of video calling services is also increasing. Share your support for an open video community.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Real Name
Pamela Martinez
Date of Birth
June 15, 1989
Place of Birth
Michael Moody has passed away. While he's not necessarily a well known name in the world of professional wrestling, many will remember him as being the son of the legendary Paul Bearer. When the company wanted to induct the iconic manager into their hall of fame, WWE enlisted the help of his two sons to do the honors. Moody was 34 years of age and passed away in his sleep.
September 22, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Reports surfaced not too long ago that Bully Ray was leaving TNA, as his contract was set to expire and a new deal could not be reached between the two sides. Apparently, he is going to remain on good terms with management, as the former world heavyweight champion is still being advertised for Bound For Glory 2014. Team 3D is scheduled to be inducted into the hall of fame that evening, but it would not come as a shock if Bully ended up working a match on the pay per view.
August 30, 2014
In the past, Kevin Nash has been pretty adamant about not wanting to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He's even gone as far as to instruct his wife to decline the offer if he were to pass away. It seems like Nash is now softening his stance. He recently stated that he would refuse to be inducted as Diesel, but he did not mention anything about going in under his real name.
August 11, 2014
Some interesting news was recently revealed by Jake Roberts. The master of the DDT told fans that he initially did not want to be inducted during the same night as the Ultimate Warrior, as the two of them have had a longstanding backstage heat. Roberts also stated that he was going to avoid Warrior at the hall of fame ceremony. However, both sides decided to make up with one another instead.
August 3, 2014
With the company losing millions of dollars this year, budget cuts are looming over everyone in WWE. The latest string of them has made a casualty out of a beloved hall of fame performer. Ricky Steamboat has quietly been released from his contract. The former Intercontinental Champion had been working in the talent relations department under Triple H over the past year.
July 19, 2014
A black eye usually is not something to be proud of. It is, however, when you're a lifelong wrestling fan being punched by one of the greatest performers that the industry has ever seen. Bray Wyatt received a black eye during a big live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weeken due to an errant punch by Ric Flair. Reports are stating that the incident happened because Flair forgot that he was wearing his hall of fame ring. There is said to be no backstage heat between the two due to the injury.
July 14, 2014
Since leaving WWE earlier in the year, CM Punk has remained relatively quiet, making sporadic appearances at NHL and MLB games. The former world heavyweight champion is going to be making a higher profile appearance later on this month. Punk will be the co-host of the kickoff show for the Alternative Press Music Awards, which is being held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
July 9, 2014
After announcing his retirement from UFC, Chael Sonnen posted a quote on his Twitter account that stated, "Bad times don't last, but bad guys do." The comment caught the attention of Scott Hall, who proceeded to criticize Sonnen for stealing the line that he made while being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This appears to be a misunderstanding as Sonnen is a big fan of wrestling and has used several quotes over the years.
June 22, 2014
When TNA announced at Slammiversary 2014 that Devon and Bully Ray were going to be inducted into the hall of fame, it led to a lot of speculation about the status of Devon with the company. It looks like the former television champion is making a return to TNA, as his profile has been restored on the official roster page on their website.
June 17, 2014
Since he is easily one of the biggest stars that professional wrestling ever produced, the Rock remains the top choice for WWE when it comes to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Wrestlemania 31. However, the company has now focused on Sting as a potential candidate to take the top spot in the class next year in case they are unable to convince Rock to participate in the event.
June 17, 2014
Thus far, the TNA Hall of Fame consists of Sting and Kurt Angle, two of the more prolific performers in the history of the industry. A third member is set to join them. At Slammiversary 2014, Angle will be on hand to announce who the latest inductee will be. No official word on who the third person was going to be, but there are heavy rumors that Jeff Jarrett could be inducted as part of his departure agreement with TNA.
June 11, 2014
Today is a sad one for professional wrestling fans. It marks the third year anniversary of the death of Randy Savage, one of the biggest legends in WWE history. The former Intercontinental Champion passed away after suffering a heart attack and crashing into a tree while driving. Much like before his death, fans have been begging WWE to induct him into the hall of fame.
May 20, 2014
"They try to make that hall of fame leigtimate, but if you'll notice, to me, it's politically driven. A dead giveaway is Hunter wanting all of his little buddies, his little circle first. He's taken care of all of them." - Bob Holly suggesting that backstage politics plays a big part in the WWE Hall of Fame
May 19, 2014
Earlier this month, rumors surfaced that Mickie James and Rikishi were candidates to join the Rock at the hall of fame induction ceremony during Wrestlemania 31. Another name that WWE has reportedly been discussing is Kevin Nash, even though the former world heavyweight champion has been vocally against being inducted.
May 17, 2014
Another interesting name that has surfaced in the rumor mill as a potential hall of fame inductee at Wrestlemania 31 is Rikishi. The belief is that including him in the same class as the Rock, whom WWE is hoping will be the centerpiece induction at the event, makes a lot of sense. There is also the chance that a reconciliation and reunion with Naomi Knight and Jimmy Uso could be a big story.
May 14, 2014
Since the company has already given the honors to Lita and Trish Stratus, two of the more known WWE Divas over the last two decades, management is said to be looking for another female performer to induct into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 31. A name being tossed around right now is Mickie James, who is currently pregnant but should be available by next spring.
May 14, 2014
When he is not inducting his good friend into the WWE Hall of Fame, Kevin Nash does a little bit of work as an actor. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he has a small part in an upcoming movie with Keanu Reeves. It is called John Wick. Reeves plays the lead role as a highly qualified hit man who ends up killing more than 300 people in the film.
May 2, 2014

April 29, 2014
"He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember Wrestlemania 6 where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent." - Chris Jericho on Ultimate Warrior as a performer
April 29, 2014
A lot of eyes stay focused on the developmental program in WWE because that is usually where the next star will come from. The latest person to be viewed as the next one to be elevated to the main roster is Alexa Bliss. The diva has impressed management over the last couple of weeks, and some are even saying that she has moved past Ashley Flair in line. She is already ahead of Bayley and Sasha Banks at the moment.
October 29, 2014
Earlier this month, it was revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25,000 a year. It has now been discovered that the amount is only for the male performers. The divas in WWE NXT, such as Ashley Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are paid $50,000 a year, which is twice as much. The reasoning behind that is because management feels that the girls have more expenses in maintaining their looks.
September 18, 2014
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
When WWE announced a tournament to crown a new Women's Champion in their developmental program, one of the names brought up as a potential champion was Bayley. Management is very high on her, and the belief was that she would be receiving an opportunity to prove herself in a featured role. That will not be happening now since Bayley was eliminated from the tournament by Sasha Banks this week.
May 2, 2014
Since she is gaining some popularity in WWE NXT, Bayley has become a name that wrestling fans are growing familiar with. As is usually the case with attractive females in the industry, fans have been searching for topless pictures of Bayley. While there are plenty of fake topless pictures floating around the internet, Bayley has never done any adult photo shoots.
May 1, 2014
One of the ideas being discussed right now is to have Ric Flair managing Ashley Flair in WWE NXT. With Paige being elevated to the main roster, management can now put more of the spotlight on Ashley, Sasha Banks and Bayley. Having the Nature Boy involved would help to increase interest from the audience, as he is still a beloved performer.
April 15, 2014
Since she is now the WWE Divas Champion, Paige will be dropping the WWE NXT Women's Championship soon. The top candidates at the moment are Ashley Flair and Sasha Banks. While some are pushing for management to put Bayley in the spot, the company feels that it would be better for business if she were to chase the title for a couple of months first.
April 13, 2014
A picture of Bayley and Paige at Wrestlemania 30. The WWE NXT developmental divas were watching the show from the stands in the Superdome with the rest of the fans.
April 8, 2014
A picture of Bayley, a WWE developmental diva, with Seiya Sanada, the current TNA X Division Champion, has surfaced on Twitter.
March 18, 2014
Scotty 2 Hotty spent some town down in WWE NXT this weekend, where the veteran performer made an appearance and helped to train some of the developmental wrestlers at the WWE Performance Center. He also posed for this picture with Bayley and posted it on Twitter.

Octobers on the Yellow Dog always remind me of Aunt Mildred and my mom and dad. They would have been in their seventies at the time, back in the early 1990s.

The unlawful discharge was created when excavation for the new County Road AAA road corridor reached groundwater level and water began to flow out of the construction site, down slope, and into nearby waterways.

Negative Dark Knight Movie Reviews?
77 hours. 77 hours until the lights will fade, the previews will begin, and the theater will roar as The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger and all, rolls onto the screen. Anticipation is high… in fact, amazingly high. In order to subdue my hype, however, I went searching for bad reviews, and, of course, went straight […]
Employees Won't Go To Work After Batman
The Dark Knight is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Fandango is reporting that so many midnight showings have sold out that theaters are having to add 3am and 6am showings (although I just went and bought tickets for a midnight showing at the best theater in town without any problem). More […]
Ban "God Bless America" at MLB Baseball Games!
Things have changed since September 11th. Security at airports is more of a pain in the ass in the ever. For some reason, we still have to take off our shoes, as if the terrorists are really that dumb to put C4 in their shoes anymore. The United States is set at a constant state […]
5 Ways to Make Hancock (2008) Better
I just Hancock, the superhero action-comedy starring Will Smith as a drunken bastard of a superhero. While the guy stops crime and saves people, he does so with complete disregard for his reputation and city property, often causing millions of dollars in damage every time he shows up to save the day. The movie is […]
New Hancock Movie Pictures
I finally got around to updating the Hancock image gallery today; I added over 15 new movie pictures for the superhero action movie Hancock, starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron. Check out the Hancock movie pictures. The movie is about a drunk of a man (Will Smith) who just happens to be the […]
Critics Calling for Heath Ledger Oscar
On January 25, 2008, shortly after Heath Ledger's death, I conjectured on whether the actor would win an Oscar posthumously for his portrayal of the Joker in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight. The Heath Ledger Oscar post is here, and examines the chances of actors winning awards after their deaths. It's a rare feat […]
Seattle Loses Sonics. Ban Starbucks Now.
Seattle is not a huge city. It's no Manhattan or Los Angeles. But it's not a small city. In fact, it's the largest city among several states in the Northwest. In other words, it is not a team that should be without a professional basketball team. Yet, today, the city of Seattle struck a settlement […]
The New James Bond Movie Is… A Comedy???
OK, what the heck. I had been worried when Daniel Craig mentioned that they were trying to inject more humor into the James Bond franchise a few months back, but shrugged it off as silliness. After all, Casino Royale was an amazing movie, and a financially successful one to boot. It was a grittier, more […]

Pretty Cool Saw V Movie Poster
I hate the Saw movies. Despite what some people think, the first one was bad and they just got worse from there. Bad acting and directing gave way to one attempt after the next to shock the audience more and more, while becoming more convoluted and cocky with each outing. The fourth Saw movie was […]
Death Race (2008) Looks As Bad As the Original
Before Wanted graced the screen last night, the movie trailer for Death Race – which has been online for a couple weeks now – reared its ugly head, and wow, does it look just as bad as the original Sylvestor Stallone movie. I never liked the original cult classic, of what little I can remember […]
Friday Box Office Results: Wall-E and Wanted Are Big
The Friday box office estimates are in for the June 27-29 weekend, giving us a hint of what the final box office numbers will be. Many box office analysts expected both the family-friendly Wall-E and the R-rated action movie Wanted to do well, but the box office weekend is shaping up to a be a […]
Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla Movie Trailer Online
The movie trailer for Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla is online, and the crime thriller looks a lot more like his earlier films (Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) than his later, less desirable flicks (Swept Away and Revolver). Watch the RocknRolla movie trailer now:
New Eagle Eye Movie Trailer
Check out the new Eagle Eye movie trailer, as seen below. This movie looks pretty cool, though could be one of those films that ends up being preposterously bad if there are too many plot holes. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Michael Chiklis, Anthony Mackie and Billy Bob Thornton, though doesn't […]
Is The Happening the Worst Movie of 2008?
Wow. I finally watched The Happening last night, after over a week of listening to bad reviews and a warning from my brother that M. Night Shyamalan had inflicted upon audiences something worse than death. But the movie looked cool, and I was willing to look past the quasi-disappointing The Village and the downright bad […]

The apparitions of Mary to Juan Diego at Guadalupe, Mexico, is one of the most endearing, but powerful anecdotes that demonstrate God's tangible love for us. Today is the feast day of Our Lady at Guadalupe. To celebrate, I have highlighted two noteworthy recordings:
Mark Mallett created an exceptional listening experience, a rosary album based on the events at Guadalupe. It is called Through her Eyes: A Journey to Jesus. The album is groundbreaking, refreshing, contemporary and traditional, spoken word and musical. It contains:
Also worth noting: Annie Karto, has performed "Song to Our Lady of Guadalupe", which uses the familiar melody from "Pescadore De Hombres/Lord, You Have Come to the Seashore." It is off her album, "Overshadow Me."

wi-fi connection is bad
It was close to the airport
There was no super market nearby and I had to go back all the way to Villepinte to buy bread
Excellent vfm, overnight stay plus 3 weeks parking and airport transfer ( 1 way!!) for 70€. Restaurant on sight good.
No transfer available on return from holiday, had to take a taxi from airport.
the hotel was very closed to the parc d'exposition where took place SIAL. The breakfast was also great, the most the natural orange juice.
we can not find any service/restaurant around the hotel. the cleanning was not as good as could be
The hotel was very clean and they take conservation very seriously!! The staf was helpful The room was comfortable foe a good night rest
Satisfactory room, changed our room to non-smoking when requested without complaint. Shuttle service was excellent. Food at restaurant was very good.
Small reception area, not other amenities available at hotel. Hotel is in an industrial area--isolated with nothing else around it--like other restaurants, shops, etc.
the staff went out of their way to help. they wont smile much...but they will sort all your requirements...
The free airport shuttle, the comfortable beds, the overall aspect
The lack of a fridge/mini bar. The personnel could be more polite, but i believe that the slow/poor communication was due to the poor English of some of them.
The whole concept. 3 beds make the rooms cramped and leave no room to move around the room. Food terrible, and not a good choice at all. And the English decor is a terrible choice and looks terrible. Try and brighten the place up.
Location, helpful staff
Breakfast is not good value, dinner buffet runs out quick but the attitude of staff makes up for the shortages.
I was expecting something completely different. Very rude at the reception by a not so gentleman who seemed to be annoyed at almost everything...to get a drink at the bar you have to be very lucky or for even to get someone's attention...all in all i cannot say much more...i was out with friends on my 2nd night there and as it was late stayed in a friends room near gare du nord...which a 2 star that seemed dodgy from the outside...was george v compared to green hotels...
The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was great.
The room was way too small. While the 3 beds were comfortable, there was absolutely no room for us to put our luggage, much less to sit.
clean quiet having all standards at necessary level price/quality ratio free parking
location (but it's normal)
Room was nice, breakfast was good, had fresh orange juice and good expresso machine. We had a problem with our bathroom sink but the staff arranged another room for us when we told them.
Too bad location in industrial area
Beds are comfortable
Shuttle service is very linited and. Response of the receptionist is not good. No hot water for some time. and Not informed.
It's quite rear but they have rooms for more than 2 persons so it's good for families with children. 7min from RER, free parking and free WiFi. Quite clean
Breakfast could be much better for 11 EUR
beds were comfortable
location, staff very unfriendly, we put out the DO NOT DISTURB sign while we were out, and when we came back, they had been in our room..Granted, the beds were made, fresh towels, BUT, WE SPECIFICALLY PUT THE DO NOT DISTURB SIGN, FACING OUTWARDS because we were uncomfortable there..We had put a quarter in the top door to see if anyone entered and sure enough, our quarter went missing...shower door broken off, Wi-fi was hit or miss and made you log in and watch a stupid 2 min commercial in order to log on...We would NEVER stay again and will advise others to stay away.
We got a very nice and clean room with an excellent bed and pillows
Water problem in tube and noisy in the morning (staff was yelling outside the door for more than 20 minutes).
too expenses for the offering
Good location. Good for overnight but not more.
Room was not cleaned one day. Ran out of toilet paper every day. Staff tried but were not well informed.
Far from city
Cleanliness, close location to Parc des Expositions, free hotel shuttle to airport CDG
- Lack of organization from staff (mistakes, things forgotten, lack of communication between evening and morning staff...) Helpful and nice anyway. - Wifi impossible to use most of the time - and you have to watch an ad to use it. Possible to use when no one else connected... after 11 PM or before 7 AM. - For breakfast several products were often out of stock.
The short distance to exhibition ground is the only positive aspect of this hotel. Even though I have to add that in terms of cleaness it was better than other hotels in Paris during exhibition times.
Wlan was bad. Room was really small, in relation to that the bathroom was relativly big. Many small defects on tap, lamps etc. The price of eur 210.- per night/person has to be regarded as a pure rip-off for what one gets.
Charming location, pretty quiet (that is we didn't notice the planes at all) and the tram is away a five minute walk. We were at this hotel in may.
A little bit smelly on the at the corridor and 2 out of 3 concierges won't speak english.
Comfortable beds, nice place to relax, somewhat quiet, the man at the front desk in the morning took us directly to the airport even after the man previously at the front desk screwed up when we were wanting to leave, wonderful shower!
There was a child screaming in the afternoon, the location is odd... Wasn't exactly close to a train line so we had to walk about 15 minutes from the train to the hotel. Also had to walk about 15-20 minutes to find something to eat since in such an odd area, especially since a fish and chips at the restaurant downstairs was 23 euros...

Older iTunes versions denied iTMS access
Users of iTunes 4.5 or earlier are being urged by Apple to upgrade to 4.6 in order to access the iTunes Music Store. The warning reads, "You are using a version of iTunes that will soon no longer be supported. Upgrade today to take advantage of the latest application features and music store enhancements."

This means, I think, a new iTMS on Tue., but NO new iTunes app. If there was a new app coming, Apple would tell people to upgrade AFTER that.
But since iTMS is a system with both remote and local components, of course the need will come to upgrade one to stay current with the other. That's OK—if you choose not to upgrade, your old iTunes and music will still work. You just can't shop.
I've been using the latest iTunes forever anyway :)

The reason they are demanding the upgrade is that they've changed the DRM protection scheme in the new versions. But, programs like iOpener have also been updated.

Omaha Beach Half-Day Trip from Bayeux
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Omaha Beach Half-Day Trip from Bayeux. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was the perfect tour for our short stay in Bayeux. Our guide Mag was great and very knowledgeable of all the history of Bayeux and the D Day invasion of Normandy in June 1944. We got to see some of the key places such as Pointe du Hoc, Omaha beach and the American cemetery as well as some of the small villages surrounding the area. We still had time at each place to get out and take pictures and walk the beaches and the cemetery grounds. We would highly recommend this tour if you only have a half day.
The four of us were promptly picked up at our hotel! This was very helpful for us.
We had a great tour guide who had knowledge of the history and locations
of the Omaha Beach and the surrounding area.
We all had a great time, learned a lot and were able to ask questions also.
Tour was well worth the money.
Thank you.
Our guide, Romain was a love. So informative, kind and respectful. It was a great tour for a short time...worth every second!
Excellent. Our tour guide was knowledge - without being officious or boring - and knew answers to some obscure questions put to him by other people on the tour. He arrived on time and kept us informed as to where we would be going and how long we would have and explained some very complex war history in a simple easy to understand manner. Definitely recommend. I enjoyed it much more than I expected and this is due to the guide. We overheard some other guides at various points and defintiely think we lucked out with the guide we got!
Very interesting tour. We had two other couples in our van and it was comfortable and pleasant. We were picked up promptly as promised. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and she was easy to understand. I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and great guide! We learned so much and saw all three sites that were recommended to us!
Had limited time however was able to see a large area of the d day beaches, sights, and gained a very good overall understanding of the area. The guide, Sunny, was a local from Normandy with good knowledge and a passion for the stories and history as well as respect for the soldiers.
Enjoyed the tour and would recommend if time limited.
Mark, Australia
The tour was worth while doing and even though the time was short our guide managed to get a lot in to it!
We were sorry we only had time for a half day tour. Our guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable and personable. Visiting the Normandy beaches is a must and doing it with a great guide is the best of all possible experiences.
The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave the us very good information throughout. The group was small, six of us, moved at a very comfortable pace. The locations were definitely the highlights and we enjoyed our trip very much.
We were picked up at our hotel by a very nice guide who said we could call him Jeff at 8:30 in a nice big van. He was very nice with good English, of course. He drove us to a spot b/t Omaha and Utah beach to see the bunkers and landscape caused by the bombardment, then we went to Omaha Beach and finally The American Cemetery. All the time in the van he spent giving us the background and history of where we were going. My kids enjoyed the first stop the best. It was quiet and no one else was there. It gave a real sense of what our soldiers were up against. This is a real quick succinct tour, if you want more time at each place maybe a longer tour would suit you better. But I knew with 2 teenagers this would be good. I have to say I had average expectations for this tour and it was just wonderful. After the tour he dropped us at our hotel. I highly recommend this tour.
Kate was wonderful. Very informative tour that covered a lot of history. Enjoyed very much!
Had to cancel but appreciated the opportunity to view this sacred ground. Next time in France....

About The Book
ShaykhʾAbū al-HasanʿAlī Nadwī (1914-1999/1332-1419 AH) was one of the most widely read and influential scholars of the last century. In this collection of speeches, covering a twenty-year period, Shaykh Nadwī deploys his passion and eloquence to set out the importance of the Madrasah, and its role in the face of both the challenges and opportunities of modernity.
He also talks at length about the personal qualities and attributes demanded of those who aspire to become inheritors of Prophetic knowledge.
In these inspirational speeches, Shaykh Nadwī reaffirms his belief that the durability and influence of Madārīs assures their continuing role in shaping the destiny of humanity. His message is timely, and remains as relevant to present day seekers of ʾIslāmic knowledge, as when first aired sixty years ago. At a time of great interest in the Madrasah system, this book will be a refreshing read for students, ʿUlamāʾ and general readers alike.
Topics Covered
The book consists of two major parts, students and madāris. Part one covers the role and characteristics of students who seek ʾIslāmic knowledge, the challenges they must face, the characteristics and qualities they must develop and key themes of their times and societies which they must challenge. Part two then discusses the role of madāris, the dynamic position and syllabus they should develop and adapt and the preparation of leaders of humanity that they are expected to produce. Shaykh ʾAbū al-Ḥasan's experiences and directives on the central role of the Madrasah within society and its development alongside the advancement of the society come from his experience and strong leadership of Nadwah and the Muslim community in India.

About the Author
SHAYKH 'ABU AL-HASAN 'ALI NADWI was one of the most prominent Muslim scholars of our time. His lineage could be traced back to the Prophet. He hailed from a family renowned for producing illustrious scholars and revivalists, such as Sayyid Ahmad Shahid (1786-1831). Shaykh ʾAbū al-Ḥasan was associated with numerous religious, literary and cultural organisations, both within India and internationally. He was Rector of Dār al-ʿUlūm Nadwat al-ʿUlamāʾ in Lucknow, President of the Academy of Islamic Research and Publications, President of the All India Personal Law Board, a founding member of Rābiṭah al-ʿĀlam al-ʾIslāmī (the Muslim World League), a member of the Advisory Committee of the University of Madīnah, a member of the Academy of Arts and Letters in Damascus, and Chairman of the Oxford Centre for ʾIslāmic Studies in Oxford. [/twocol_one_first][twocol_one_last]
Book Reviews
"The Nadwi Foundation deserves commendation for producing an epic work of Shaykh ʾAbū al-Ḥasan Nadwī in English, comprising of his soul stirring speeches to students to rise to the challenges of the time, by acquiring mastery in their fields of study and by imbibing a deep spirituality, both of which are obtained by sheer determination, strict discipline and clearly defined goals in the pursuit of knowledge. This work is invaluable to all students who wish to rise above mediocrity and excel in scholarship and erudition" Muftī Zubair Bayat, Founder, Dar al-Ihsan Islamic Service Centre, SA [twocol_one_last] [hr]
