Yours sincerely, Zhang Hua 2013/3/26 Presentation page 58 The Hotel Business Center Pre-reading questions: 1) What can modern hotels offer to guests? 2) What can a fax machine do? 3) Why are the principles to be followed by the personnel in Business Center? 2013/3/26 Presentation page 59 The Business Center plays an increasingly important part in modern hotels. Large modern hotels contain not only tastefully decorated guest rooms but also advanced facilities to meet the needs of all business guests. We live in the age of information. Modern hotels also offer international communications, telephone, telex, fax, typewriting, duplicating and so on. All this makes it possible for hotel guests to take advantage of comprehensive communications facilities and secretarial assistance 2013/3/26 Presentation page 60 while staying at hotels. With the help facilities in business centers, they can cope with their business effectively, conveniently and in time, which makes modern hotels more attractive. A fax machine can send and receive an exact copy of any image—typescript, handwriting, drawings or photographs. When sending a fax for a guest, the clerk should make sure whether the fax machine has been hooked up to the telephone as well ad whether the party's number is correct. If the original paper is too thin, the correct way is to copy the original first. Sometimes a fax can't go through. In that case, the clerk may suggest the customer call the other side to check on the connection of fax machine and placing 2013/3/26 Presentation page 61 paper. Usually, the charge for sending a fax consists of the telephone line and the service charge. If the fax goes through but isn't clear, the latter can be waived but the former can't. Before typing, the clerk should understand the requirements of typing and printing of the guest. The sample of fonts is provided for the guest to choose. While typing, the clerk should carefully distinguish every letter, including whether it is a capitalized or in lower- case letter. After the first draft, the guest is asked to check and to make some necessary corrections. If everything is the way the guest wants, the final draft can be printed. In order to avoid viruses, the clerk only use their own disks to save the typed document 2013/3/26 Presentation page 62 For the guest for one month. The photocopier may be one of the most common facilities in any Business Center. The best copying effect is attained by trying adjusting the color and size more than once. So the clerk often asks the guest: "Would you like me to try it lighter?" or "would you like me to reduce it a bit?" or "What do you think of it?" and so on. Nowadays people prefer to use the cheapest and fastest way to communicate with others—E- mail. 2013/3/26 Presentation page 63 The Business Center provides the guest with the computer to get on to the Internet. Sometimes the clerk in the Business Center will send E-mail after the guest types the message. The postal service in the Business Center covers wide range. The clerk should be familiar with various postal kinds, including their rates and the time .It is necessary for the clerk to offer guests some useful information to help them choose the proper way. 2013/3/26 Presentation page 64 From what has been mentioned above, the staff of the Business Center should be good at operating various modern communication facilities. They must be master advanced techniques and skills to cater to the needs of guests. Besides, patience, carefulness and enthusiasm are still the principles to be followed by the personnel working in the Business Center. Superior service and advanced facilities will make guests feel pleasant and convenient and, make the hotel become their last impressive memory. 2013/3/26 Presentation page 65 Exercise 1: choose from below an appropriate Chinese to match each equivalent in the passage. 装饰典雅 先进设备 信息时代 综合通讯 设备 文秘服务 打字文本 复印机 文体样本 仔细辨别 大写字母 小写字母 避免病毒 复印效果 上互联网 满足顾客 需要 2013/3/26 Presentation page 66 Exercise 2: Substitution Practice 1.

When Oracle bought Pillar for £zilch
It was a telling omission when Oracle introduced a storage guy to talk about why Pillar Data was such a great acquisition. It wasn't Mike Workman, Pillar's CEO and founder, but Phil Bullinger, Oracle's SVP for Disk Storage. Contrast that with Dell parading Phil Soran, Compellent's CEO, when it bought that company, or HP showing …

Should'a bought BlueArc...
A good product is not enough
There are great products in the storage market but what fails to be acknowledged is the go to market strategy. Without an exceptional sales strategy and sale team, success doesn't happen even if your brand is EMC, HP or Oracle. When you look at EqualLogic, Compellent, and 3 PAR, they executed on the sales side and delivered a better product.

Milpitas, Califo...
This is a layered skirt with vertical gathers on the outer layer which gives it a very different look, almost like the one in princess gowns. Attached to a bodice it could really simplify the construction of a princess dress, but I like the way it lends something extra to a simple layered skirt without any complicated construction.

SmartOffice Group renamed Salutation Consortium, introduces open specification that will link office machines, computers, and personal communicators.
The open industry association began organizational work under the temporary title of SmartOffice Consortium. Founding companies include manufacturers of computers, network services, information management solutions, and office equipment. They are APTi, Canon, Fuji Xerox, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, ISI, IBM, Kodak, Konica, Lexmark, Matsushita, Microware Systems, Minolta, Mita, Mitsubishi, Muratec, Novell, Okidata, Ricoh, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba, and Xerox.
The Consortium is defining an open architecture interface specification that will enable conforming products to identify device capabilities across a network. The Salutation Specification describes a capability exchange protocol and an application program interface (API) independent of hardware platforms and operating system software.
A draft version of the specification is available to the industry for review and comment. The specification can be requested by calling Robert Pascoe at 817/962-3146 or sending an e-mail request to firstname.lastname@example.com. In announcing the availability of the draft, the Consortium seeks to enlist membership from companies and other interested parties who wish to participate in development efforts.
Later this year the Salutation Specification will be made widely available to the industry. Companies will not have to be members of the Consortium to get the published Specification, which will be royalty-free.
Salutation Vision
Unlike previous visions of networking, the Salutation architecture does not assume that all transactions are initiated from a workstation or personal computer. Today many other products -- printers, copiers, telephones, and personal communicators, to name a few -- have processor-based intelligence. Despite their intelligence, these devices cannot always share information, and users cannot always get the information desired from the device at hand.
Taking a new, information-centric view of interoperability represents a conceptual change from workstation-centric thinking. The Salutation architecture also enables transactions between a fax machine and a copier, for example. The Consortium will support manufacturers' efforts to integrate different devices into a network by supplying them with a standard communications and API specification for discovering the capabilities of other entities in a network. The Salutation effort will enable people to use products in new ways to manage the information flow.
Some examples of this style of interoperability could be:
-- An online FAX machine in the mailroom accesses the server- based enterprise address book for determining FAX delivery instructions.
-- A data entry specialist uses the scanning function in an online copier to create electronic documents for online filing and distribution.
-- A homeowner accesses information about roof repair specialists and schedules service through the TV.
Salutation Benefits
According to Robert A. Pascoe, IBM Software Solutions Division and president of the Consortium, devices that incorporate Salutation technology will create a new class of products that offer benefits not now available.
-- Reduced footprint -- Devices can be more modular in design
-- Shared administrative functions -- Devices can take advantage of network access to include online diagnostics and troubleshooting
-- Reduced cost -- Modular designs make it unnecessary to duplicate a capability in several devices. Both copiers and fax machines, for example, now include a scanning capability.
-- Market differentiation -- Salutation technology will allow manufacturers to create new product models with advanced features at competitive prices.
-- PC tasks transferred to new information appliances -- Salutation lets a user take additional advantage of a device's intelligence to perform functions directly from that device.
Open Industry Specification
The recognized need to link diverse types of information equipment has led to a number of other initiatives aimed at integrating computers and other devices. The Salutation Consortium has a broad conceptual design that bridges between more narrowly focused efforts such as the Infrared Data Association (IrDA), the Multi-Function Peripheral Association (MFPA), and Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF). Implementations based on Salutation's architecture would also bridge between Microsoft At Work's Windows environment and a broader, heterogeneous environment.
Novell Embedded Systems Technology (NEST) allows original equipment manufacturers to embed network connections and client services into their system products. Novell and several NEST partners are Consortium members, and view the Salutation architecture as synergistic.
The Salutation Consortium is also working with industry groups such as Versit in areas of shared interest such as personal data interchange and interoperability of computer telephony solutions. Versit is a global initiative formed by Apple, AT&T, IBM, and Siemens.
About the Consortium
The Salutation Consortium is a non-profit corporation with membership open to all interested companies, organizations and individuals. The Consortium has a three-tiered membership structure with annual membership fees ranging from $300 to $50,000.
Day-to-day operations of the Consortium are managed by the Consortium Secretariat, which consists of Pascoe, president and acting secretary, and Shinichi Okawa, Ricoh, treasurer. The Consortium is already active in both the United States and Japan, and plans to include European members.
Future work for the Consortium focuses on gaining additional members to continue development work on the Salutation technology and on promoting the use of the Specification as a common method of accessing and controlling the capabilities of interoperating devices, applications, and services. In support of this mission, the Consortium will provide training and documentation for companies implementing the Specification and is considering setting up certification processes for implementations of the Salutation technologies. The Consortium is also considering the submission of the Salutation Specification to international standards bodies. -0-

Inktomi Picked By Yahoo, Snap
From The Search Engine Report
June 3, 1998
Both services have their own listings, but when a search fails to find a match within these, it will automatically be forwarded to the Inktomi database.
AltaVista had been providing Yahoo with this service over the past two years. However, AltaVista has restructured itself to be more of a competitor to Yahoo, making it a main reason why Yahoo decided to go with a new, non-competitive partner.
"Inktomi had the best business model, which is a pure OEM play. AltaVista, on the other hand, has decided to move a little bit more into adding other services beside search," said Jeff Mallett, Yahoo's chief operating officer.
Yahoo will oversee the sales of all banner ads and partnership positioning on Inktomi-produced results pages. In contrast, DoubleClick had previously sold inventory on these pages for AltaVista, at the end of the previous deal.
Both AltaVista and Yahoo left the partnership on good terms. AltaVista's technical director Louis Monier described it as a "happy divorce."
AltaVista will continue to be positioned within Yahoo at the bottom of each results page. Yahoo has provided links to other search engines in this location since it began. Now AltaVista, along with two or three other search engines yet to be named, will pay for the privilege of being more prominently positioned there. Clicking on links in this area automatically sends the search to the selected search engine.
Inktomi will take over for AltaVista within the next two months at Yahoo. Meanwhile, it has already begun providing a similar service for Snap. Infoseek was the previous partner there, and it will continue to power searches on Cnet's Search.com service.
Sam Parker, Snap's Vice President of Product Development, named all the same reasons for going with Inktomi as Yahoo had. Inktomi's non-competitive OEM model and top search technology made it an easy choice, he said.
Inktomi also continues to power its first partner, HotBot, and will be the brawn behind the new Microsoft search service that is supposed to launch later this year.

Nanjing, China (April 20, 2012) - NYIT President Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., challenged a delegation at today's International University Presidents' Forum to look beyond traditional rankings when measuring university outcomes.
"Ranking systems must continue to evolve and improve based on careful evaluation of their impact on universities and higher education systems," President Guiliano said. "We can start by looking at a country's economic needs and how its higher education system meets those needs. "
"We need to look beyond borders to consider the global knowledge economy and the way our institutions are generating human capital that will meet its needs," he added, noting that graduates of his university's Nanjing program are employed at some of the biggest companies in China and the U.S., including IBM, China Telecom, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Unicom, and China Mobile.

Illinois Department of Public Health Director Outlines Ebola Preparedness in Illinois
CHICAGO – Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), today briefed the media and public about the state's preparedness efforts should a case of Ebola be suspected or confirmed in Illinois. At this time, there are no suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola in Illinois.
"I want to reassure the people of Illinois that the state is reviewing and confirming protocols and plans already in place to ensure our public health systems is able to quickly identify a potential case, evaluate the person and isolate them if needed, implement infection control practices, conduct contact tracing of people potentially exposed to a suspected case, submit specimens for laboratory testing and provide care for the patient," said Dr. Hasbrouck. "If there is a suspected or confirmed case of Ebola in Illinois, we will immediately inform the public and provide as much information as possible."
It is important to remember that Ebola is NOT an airborne infection. Ebola is spread through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen) of a person who is sick with Ebola. A person who is not experiencing symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, cannot transmit the virus.
Any Illinois hospital following CDC's infection control recommendations and can isolate a patient in a private room is capable of safely managing a patient with Ebola.
Handling disease outbreaks is a core public health function and the state is prepared to conduct surveillance for possible cases, implement infection control measures, support medical facilities, perform contact tracing and assist with laboratory testing. IDPH will continue to work with the CDC, local health departments, hospitals and medical facilities.
Preparedness steps IDPH has taken to prepare for a suspect or confirm Ebola case in Illinois:
- Provided guidance on laboratory specimen submission and case management.
- Tested established public health systems to ensure contact tracing is readily available.
- Confirmed plans to establish an Ebola hotline should one be needed.
- Created a web portal with information for IDPH health care partners.
- Completed a CDC online assessment of our emergency preparedness and response activities related to Ebola.
- Participated in national Ebola-related teleconferences.
IDPH will continue to provide all updated CDC guidance through SIREN (State of Illinois Rapid Electronic Notification) to appropriate audiences (Infection Control Professionals, Infectious Disease Physicians, Laboratories, Local Health Departments, Health Care Providers, Health Care Facilities, EMS Systems).For the most up to date information visit http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbebola.htm

This is the third time that my wife and I have stayed at this condo complex and the first time that I've reviewed it. A few years ago we were given a weeks time share here and enjoyed it so much that we now come up every fall. The condos are a little dated, but very clean and well looked after. The staff is friendly, accommodating and willing to help at a moments notice. You have Lake Tahoe right outside your door and you are within walking distance of Heavenly Ski Resort and State Line, NV (1/4 mile) and all the casinos. This is a great little getaway, with a quiet and cozy atmosphere and incredible views of the lake, for both summer and winter relaxation.

CUSCO PERU to Machu Picchu write up
Hello everyone. I am new to the site. I wanted to share my trip to Peru with everyone. I took lots of pictures and posted a couple of videos for you. It was a long write up so I didnt feel like posting it again. so... here is the link.
Machu Picchu 9/1/09 - 9/08/09 (completed !!)
An Error Has Occurred!Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
Working fine today :-)
Looks like a great article, thanks for the link Donovan :thumbup1:
Route to aqua calientes
We took the bikes up to Machu Picchu last week and by way of an update we though we would share with you our findings.
We stopped in hostell Estrallita in Cuzco which we found on the HUBB, great big courtyard for the bikes and there were a total of 9 bikes here during our stay.
Hostal Estrellita
Av. Tullumayo 445
13 31.112 S, 71 58 434 W (if you're using a GPS)
Before we arrived, we decided we wanted to ride to Machu Picchu (or as close as possible) but struggled to make sense of all the names being thrown around the HUBB. And its almost impossible to find a map with Santa MAria and Santa Theresa on it. Others in the hostel found the same problem so we have sketched out a little map so others can visualise the trip before they arrive in PERU / CUZCO.
A high res copy of the map above can be downloaded by clicking HERE
Brian and Marie posted an concise list of directions (IN ANOTHER POST) following their visit, and I will update this given our recent experience;
From Cusco make you way to the village of Ollantaytambo (a 2 hour drive on paved roads) - West / Clockwise
Leave Cuzco in an ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction for Pisac and tick off a few ruins on your way to Ollantaytambo (all paved). We did this and were still in Olly. for 3pm.
From Ollantaytambo go to the village of Santa Maria, a 2.5 hour drive that brings you up to over 4300 meters pass Abra Malaga, then drops you back down into a valley, this road is now paved other than small spots damaged by landslides.
From Santa Maria you make your way to Santa Theresa (a 45min ride on gravel)
We stopped in ST for the night and returned to ST for a night after MP. Leaving our bikes overnight in the same hostel while we were away.
In Santa Theresa find parking for your vehicle and/or a hostel (see map for our hostel
ps - there are fantastic thermal baths 5 mins outside ST, perfect to relax in after a days riding or walking MP!
From ST take a cab (we dont recommend walking its a very dusty track!) to the hydroelectric station (a 45 minute ride) There are mixed messages on the HUBB about places to leave your bike at Hydroelectrica and we weren't aware of anywhere when passing through.
From the hydrolectric station you walk along train tracks to the village of Aguas Calientes, (lots of accomodation) at the base of Machu Picchu (2 hour walk).
A high res copy of the map above can be downloaded by clicking HERE
We hope this all makes sense.

In the world of Lars von Trier, it's impossible for him to quietly release a film and see how audiences react — instead, we're going to be privy to an 8 month publicity drive that sees every chapter of his upcoming two-volume erotic drama Nymphomaniac teased. That's not all, as the director revealed he is inventing a new film genrea titled Digressionism, in which he'll be "departing from the main subject." While we await our first piece of this elaborate puzzle, see his statement below, along with the names of the 8 chapters, for the film starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Stacy Martin, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Connie Nielsen, Udo Kier, and Jean-Marc Barr.
In 2011 Lars von Trier decided to refrain from all public statements and interviews. To this date he has kept his word.
But his stories are still being told worldwide and Nymphomaniac will be no exception.
Using a structure known from literature Nymphomaniac consists of chapters, encapsulating both VOLUME I and VOLUME II and during the next eight months, starting from June and like domino pieces counting down to the release, small bites of these chapters will be published exclusively by a community of selected newspapers around the world.
Each chapter teaser is defined by a headline, a still and a short narrative that playfully unveils the multilayered universe of Nymphomaniac with which Lars von Trier wants to introduce a new film genre: Digressionism.
CHAPTER 1 is THE COMPLEAT ANGLER
CHAPTER 2 is JERÔME
CHAPTER 3 is MRS. H
CHAPTER 4 is DELIRIUM
CHAPTER 5 is THE LITTLE ORGAN SCHOOL
CHAPTER 6 is THE EASTERN & WESTERN CHURCH (THE SILENT DUCK)
CHAPTER 7 is THE MIRROR
CHAPTER 8 is THE GUN
Check back June 28th, when we expect the first teaser to be revealed. In the meantime, see a press still of our director with his mouth taped shut below, since "the film speaks for itself."
The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter's evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgård), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.
