The Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM), or National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, is a doctoral degree-granting higher education establishment (or grand établissement) operated by the French government, dedicated to providing education and conducting research for the promotion of science and industry. It has a large museum of inventions accessible to the public.
It was founded on 10 October 1794, during the French Revolution.[6] It was first proposed by the Abbé Henri Grégoire as a "depository for machines, models, tools, drawings, descriptions and books in all the areas of the arts and trades".[7] The deserted Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs (and particularly its Gothic refectory by Pierre de Montereau) was selected as the site of collection, which formally opened in 1802.
Originally charged with the collection of inventions, it has since become an educational institution. At the present time, it is known primarily as a continuing education school for adults seeking engineering (multidisciplinary scientific program) and business degrees, proposing evening classes in a variety of topics.
The collection of inventions is now operated by the Musée des Arts et Métiers. The original Foucault pendulum was exhibited as part of the collection, but was moved to the Panthéon in 1995 during museum renovation. It was later reinstalled in the Musée des Arts et Métiers. On 6 April 2010,[8] the cable suspending the original pendulum bob snapped causing irreparable damage to the pendulum and to the marble flooring of the museum.[9]
The novel Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco deals greatly with this establishment, as the Foucault pendulum hung in the museum plays a great role in the storyline. The novel was published in 1989 prior to the pendulum being moved back to the Panthéon during museum reconstruction.[10]
The Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers is located at 292 rue Saint Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in the historical area of the city named Le Marais.
The Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Cnam) is a public institution of the French government, in the scientific, cultural and professional fields, with the status of "Grand Etablissement". Under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education, it has 3 missions:
- Training throughout life (Lifelong learning);
- Technological research and innovation;
- Dissemination of scientific and technical culture.
It is implemented in more than 150 cities in France and abroad. Cnam's motto is "Omnes docet ubique", which means "He (or it) teaches everyone everywhere."
Organization: two schools and fourteen departments[edit]
Since July 2010, Cnam has been organized in two distinct "Schools", each one with seven departments:
- Industrial Sciences and Information Technology (Sciences industrielles et technologies de l'information, Siti), directed by William Dab:
- Chemicals, Food, Health, Environment, Risk;
- Civil Engineering, building, energetics;
- Computer science;
- Electronics, automation, control systems;
- Mathematical engineering;
- Measurement, analysis, quality, materials science.
- Mechanical and electrotechnical systems engineering;
- Management and social sciences applied to firms (Management et sociétés, MS), directed by Jean-Claude Bouly:
- Accounting, Control and Audit;
- Economics, finance, banking, insurance;
- Management, innovation, foresight;
- Law, labour science, health, social intervention;
- Labour, career counseling, personal development, education;
- Culture, information, technology and society;
- Urban planning, trade, land and community development.
The CNAM supports continuing education; it offers:.
- Multidisciplinary programs;
- 1,350 modular programs;
- 1,500 specific sessions;
- 480 diplomas or certificates, from undergraduate to doctoral programs;
- 100,000 students enrolled in the entire network (75% employees, 13% experienced job seekers, 3% first job seekers, 9% students and others);
- 1 out of 5 students is trained by distance-learning programs, through information and communications technology.
All teachings are formatted to comply with the CNAM LMD (Licence-Master-Doctorate), and thus respecting the European Credit Transfer System.

Scribe Robert Kanigher and artist Russ Heath turned these self described "Losers" - including "Navajo Ace" Johnny Cloud of the U.S. Army Air Force, Marines Gunner Mackey and Sarge Clay and Captain William Storm, a PT boat commander with a prosthetic leg - into a fighting force that meshed as one. Accompanied by their canine mascot Pooch, this collection of lower tiered characters with incredibly bad luck went on to become some of DC's most beloved war heroes.

Hey dudesGf seeks validation..
Well my gf seems to seek validation alot always taking photos of herself, looking in the mirror alot and always tells me how guys hit on her ect ect.
I just joke it off and show her it really doesn't get to me Because the truth is I don't need a relationship to make me happy, Whenever we are Out we see girls looking at me trying to talk to me ect I don't act on it I'm more like "hehe yeah ok she is funny" so she knows I have good women skills.
This girl has never had a real man her last bf was insecure as FUCK he would not let her talk to people, not let her go out alone, not let her do anything really. I am no way like that she can do whatever she wants unless it fails to roll with my rules and boundaries. The sex is really good so far I can really get in her head and know what she wants and she gets it *Really this girl is my bitch in bed-she knows it and loves me for it* So I'm really showing her what a real man is like.
I just don't understand her need of validation and sometimes it seems "competition" she has with me.
Any insight please!

Can a dead cat bounce? Technical Analysis explained
Dead Cat Bounce is the name of a phenomenon in Technical Analysis
When I was learning to trade forex in the beginning, my trainer mentioned 'dead cat bounce' during class one day. It was the first time I heard such a term. I thought that it was invented by the her because it sounds so weird.
After class, I googled the Internet and Voila! There really was a chart pattern named Dead Cat Bounce after all! OMG, it was real!!
What is a Dead Cat Bounce?
So what exactly is this oddly named pattern and what are its implication and uses?
A Dead Cat Bounce is a trend continuation pattern and basically means a reversal chart pattern has failed, usually the 'Head & Shoulders pattern (amazingly another wonderfully named phenomenon that traders are familiar with).
Binni wrote an article on this last year 'Dead Cat Bounce – Chart Pattern with an Elliott Wave Twist'.
Now, a dead cat bounce in forex means a failed head and shoulders pattern. Once a dead cat bounce happens, buyers can quickly join in whereas sellers will have to close their shorts. It is easy to recognise and is a chart pattern that has a high probability outcome.
Come and learn many other chart patterns
Come and join us in the TerraSeeds Forex Tflow® currency trading course. Besides many sophisticated concepts like Elliott Waves and Fibonacci Ratios, you can have fun learning to trade forex when we teach you to recognise many trading patterns with amazing names like wash and rinse, 1-2-3-4, WRMB and WTT.

Should I throw my own baby shower?
My pregnancy has been great except for one silly little issue -- I have no one to throw a baby shower for me. My husband and I live far from our families, and I'm not that close to my female friends. My husband knows how sad I feel and has hinted at throwing the party himself. I have mostly male friends, so I wouldn't mind having a coed shower. But the thought of throwing my own shower makes me feel like a loser! What can I do?

I think its up to you especially since your family is far away & no else has offered to throw you one. Im going through a similar situation my family did not offer & my friends are willing to try but are strapped for money so im financially helping & my closest friend lives out of state so its going to be very difficult to plan me here and her there. I too felt sad bc no one offered to throw me a shower without my input but it is what it is & im greatful for the help & will be very greatful when my family & friends show up to celebrate my 1st child & bring him gifts, preparing for a baby is expensive and a shower is key to get some of those baby items you haven't already. Good luck!posted 12/07/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
do what makes you happy ! throw ur own shower ! i never heard of just having a shower for the first one ? im throwiing my own shower and having a couple of friends help me organize it as well . I had 2 showers for my 2nd (work ) and one from family and friends . my first was 13 yrs ago and it was a suprise which included 60 people that i hardly knew . lol ! but any who have fun throwing your shower ! if you need any ideas private message me ! :)posted 12/04/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Just do your own. make a small home one. I am on the same boat....not family and my Mom very ill... I am so sad about it...but i need the shower help since i am out of work. Its your baby shower and you should do what you want. make a registry and send it to your make friends if you decided not to have a coed one. good luck!!posted 05/17/2011 by Katz35
Why not? I have a friend who did. It was her third baby but it was going to a girl. It was an all girl theme, anything pink, frilly and cute was every where! It was a super fun party. So go for it!posted 12/02/2011 by danesasov
Since your hubby has mostly guy friends, why not have a baby bbq? Tell everyone that it is just a party to celebrate your new joy! These aren't family or really close friends, so think twice about trying to beg gifts off people. They may think it's cute to buy the kid an outfit or toy or something, but they will not want to financially support your choice to have a baby. Maybe let you family know that you are having a "shower" with or without them and they can feel free to send cards or whatever. My family sent me gifts cards and small gifts since I lived in a different state when I was pregnant with my 1st. Don't worry about what others think. When it is all said and done, you will be the one who looks back and remembers it. Will it be a fun memory or a regret that you never got a baby shower?posted 11/13/2011 by MadnessNMayhem
This is my first baby, and I'm planning on thrwing my own shower. Most of my friends live out of state, and I'm niot going to miss the experience of a shower just beacause I have no one to throw one for me. Besides, I'm a very detailed person, and I'll rather throw my own shower just the way I would like ir remembered. I'm also planning a coed shower. My baby shower is not about gitf to me, It's abouting celebrating my bundle of joy, and welcoming him to the world with friends.posted 07/03/2011 by Selah2012
I'm in the same boat. I'm going to throw my own bc there are things I need and can't afford no one is offering to do it and I think since it's my first child I want to celebrate. I dont get along with my family to well and I'm going through hard times as is. I just afford everything only own and my bf and I are out of work. I'm not letting anyone ruin this experience for me and you shouldn't either. Have fun!posted 11/13/2011 by Babbygurl314
Try having a Sip and See after the baby is born! It can be coed and many people would probably bring gifts.posted 11/12/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
im actually throwing my own baby shower also..i dont have many close friends so i think its just easier to do myself..so lets go ahead and plan our ownposted 03/12/2010 by gueramomma
People who say it's tacky to throw your own can have their own opinion, but they need to share it without being judgemental and condescending. There's no reason to be rude! I'm probably going to throw my own. Nobody has offered to throw me one and I want to be in control because some family members blow EVERYTHING out of proportion. And when they threw my sister in law a shower, it was more about mom and grandma than her! I want to be in control of who is invited and where it is because I don't want to have to go way across town because they want it to be more convenient for them. So throw your own shower if you want to! You can make all your own decisions and have the party when and where you want it!posted 11/08/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

"Do I want to be like Spike?" croons Malcolm to the tune of the old Jordan Inc. jingle. "No, not at all." But the Spike connection isn't that easy to brush off. Like many an impressionable young black man, Malcolm only decided he wanted to make movies after She's Gotta Have It changed his world. "Spike was living with my family when he was in film school. I was about 13 or so and when he actually broke out with She's Gotta Have It, it made being a filmmaker an attainable goal."
Malcolm didn't attend graduate film school à la Spike, moving up instead through the ranks of Forty Acres and a Mule. There were a series of stints as a PA on various Spike Lee Joints, and then the grown-up title of assistant to the director on Clockers ("like a year of film school packed in one summer"), culminating with a minority screenwriting fellowship at Disney, a program thatlike many black toeholds in Hollywooddidn't exist in the preShe's Gotta Have It era.
The first draft of Best Man was finished about the time the love-and-family-themed Soul Food was released, but Malcolm doesn't see his picture as part of the recent cycle of black middle-class romantic comedies. "First off," he explains, "Best Man is a drama with comedic elements. Still, a precedent's been set for studio movies with African American characters that are multidimensional, that are educated and intelligent, that are in loving and sometimes not-so-loving relationships. It might only be a matter of the industry trying to find new ways to make money, but it's also true that audiences want to see the occasional African American happy ending."

Primal Carnage is Jurassic Park as directed by Michael Bay. Gone are the lovable duo of paleontologists and the hotshot theoretician. In their place, there's a grizzled shotgun-toting Native American in war paint, a bare-chested commando, a stocky pyromaniac with a flame thrower, and a mustachioed trapper who doles out extinction with a net and knife. Oh, there's still a spunky scientist running around in shorts, but watch out--she could teach Laura Dern a thing or three about wreaking havoc with a sniper rifle. Finish a match with this ragtag bunch and you'll slip into the talons of five playable dinosaurs, and thus each round of this exclusively multiplayer slaughterfest gains intensity from the juggle of munching on mercenaries in one round to pumping bullets in raptors in the next. Primal Carnage never bothers to explain the reasons for this showdown between the masters of two separate epochs, but you're usually too busy ensuring your own survival amid the flurries of bullets and claws to care.
In what must count as a minor miracle, both dinosaurs and humans feel balanced. Novelty multiplayer games like this have a tendency of inspire groans of disgust when the Quick Match sorter doesn't stick you with the "cool" faction, but the beauty of Primal Carnage is that it leaves you just as excited to play the squad of human adventurers as the thundering ancestors of your parakeet. True, the humans rely a little excessively on the predictable arsenal of big guns like shotguns and assault rifles, but their depth springs from utilities such as the scientist's tranquilizer darts and the pathfinder's blinding flares. Used in conjunction with smart teamwork, the utilities can turn the tide of seemingly hopeless last stands.
Indeed, it's the team-based strategies demanded by their vulnerability that makes human gameplay so memorable. Being little more than mobile meatbags, humans in Primal Carnage must stick together in packs to ward off the significantly stronger dinosaurs. The clumping makes for harrowing firefights, but Primal Carnage's design also manages to imbue routine respawns with a dash of the same suspense found in survival horror games. Alone and armed with only your firearm and a melee weapon, each moment away from your crew is a countdown to death. The sensation's at its worst (or best) in the jungle maps, where the dense foliage always threatens the possibility that a novaraptor might crash through the leaves and play a messy game of Operation with your bowels.
If it sounds like dinosaurs are a nasty bunch, they are. Their size and speed lets them prowl about with greater freedom, and their respective roars grant health boosts and highlight the locations of their mammalian adversaries. Their combat abilities seldom fail to impress. A dilophosaurus can blind humans with oily spit, pteranodons can pick up unsuspecting humans and drop them to their deaths, and--provided you have enough people to unlock him--the tyrannosaurus rex can gobble down humans in one bite. They may be fearsome, yes, but they're not unbeatable. The massive size of the t-rex, for instance, makes him a near-unmissable target, allowing smartly positioned clusters of humans to take him down with minimal losses. The trapper can make quick work of raptors by netting them and finishing them off with a single melee swipe, and most weapons can down the flimsy pteranodons in a couple of hits.
It's a shame, though, that the dino gameplay abandons the first-person perspective enjoyed by the humans. While it's true that the shift to third-person perspective allows for some gruesomely satisfying kills, it sometimes interferes with their execution. Novaraptors, for instance, achieve most of their kills by pouncing on their victims with a click of the right mouse button and pinning them down, but the imprecision of the third-person perspective means you'll sometimes play hopscotch around your opponent until you either get shot or score a successful maul. The same goes for the dilophosaurus' spit attack, which sometimes leaves the deadly goo bunched in a puddle next to its intended target. It's a mild annoyance (and it probably serves to balance the human and dino playstyles), and one that could be fixed with a simple lock-on feature.
If only the basic design didn't feel as though it were lifted untouched from the fossil records of gaming past. Primal Carnage is so old school that its gameplay hearkens back to the Unreal Tournament that spawned the family of graphics engines it runs on, complete with the absence of unlockable items or upgrades--even cosmetic--or any sense of progression from one match to the next. You get points during each round based on your kills or assists, but their significance vanishes as cleanly as triceratops bones after the late Cretaceous once the scoreboard pops up after one side reaches 45 kills. At the time of writing, deathmatch is the only gameplay option (although the developers litter their forums with nebulous hints of upcoming objective-based modes and associated DLC), and even the Steam achievements remain inaccessible.
Primal Carnage thus feels primitive when paired with the legion of other multiplayer shooters available, but the strengths of its concepts and balanced gameplay may justify its $14.99 pricetag for players searching for a uniquely rewarding experience. It may not be the most visually stunning game around, but it works well with what it has, delivering satisfying dinosaur animations and textures amid a small but diverse selection of five maps ranging from loading docks and ruined aviaries to lush rainforests that mask deadly drops down to raging rivers. Indeed, the ruined laboratories and tropical settings evoke so many memories of the "Jurassic Park" films that it's hard to shake the impression that Primal Carnage would only need to change the title screen if they secured a license from Universal Pictures.

Kata, Phuket, Thailand
Additional Location Information
The villa is located in a quiet, newly built residential area close to Kata Center. Within walking distance is one of Phuket's finest beaches - Kata beach that is highly regarded for being a quiet location but still with upscale restaurants, bars and small boutique shopping. Also on walking distance you have grocery stores, restaurants, hairdressers, laundry, massage, etc. Just 20 minutes to Patong and 5 minutes to Chalong this is a great location in the southern area of the west coast.
The pleasant bay of Kata, just a few minutes south of Karon Beach, entices and charms many visitors with its white sands and clear waters. Very popular with families, Kata is an all round favorite due to its spectacular palm-lined beach, great restaurants, lively but not raucous nightlife and varied accommodation options - all close to the beach. From May to October surfers flock to catch Kata's waves and from November to April the beach is alive with sun seekers.
Kata is split into two focal areas: Kata Centre, which is at the northern end close to Karon and Kata South, home to several resorts. Visitors will find an abundance of shops to browse in, from souvenir and ready-to-wear outlets, to 7-Elevens and local mini-marts, to name-brand fashion stores.

There's the Arabic name Sumaya which I think is really pretty It means "Exalted" and is the name of the wife of Yasir and is a martyr in Islam. Variations of the name are Sumaiya, Sumayah, and Sumaiyah. I think it's appealing due to it's beautiful meaning and history. I also think it might appeal to non-Muslim parents because it combines the sound of old-fashion Sue and trendy Maya. Last but not least Sue, Maya, and Sumy are really cute nick names <3

Arbour - how Arbor would be spelled in the UK. Like Favor/Favour, Honor/Honour and so on.
Harbour - how Harbor would be spelled in the UK.
Also, I encountered the name Sabelina the other day. I thought it was very pretty. Apparently it is derived from Sabina, the same way the Avelina (original form of Aveline) is derived from Avila.

Digital Ad Spending in Travel Jumps
While some experts ponder whether Google is ready to make an even bigger splash in the travel industry, a recent eMarketer study highlighted a big reason why the search engine giant is content with its current role. Digital ad spending by the US travel industry will reach $4.15 billion in 2014, a sharp increase over 2013's numbers ($3.42 billion) that reflects the improving health of the overall US economy and rising profits in the industry.

The State of the Online Travel Industry in 2014
State of Digital recently released a Travel 360 report after collating the viewpoints and analysis of experts, thought leaders and key commercial players of both the hospitality and travel industries. The report aims to act as a marker of the level of integration between travel brands and the various online channels within digital marketing.
The key trend throughout this report is the idea that companies must be able to adapt their business and marketing models in an attempt to future-proof their businesses. Facilitating ongoing relationships and interactions with travel consumers has now become critical to survival.
The following are seven key points highlighted in this report that you should keep in mind going forward. They address challenges facing businesses today, and the holistic approaches and angles that will provide real value, strategy and insight to your brand.
1) Communicating a holistic brand message, consistently across all channels, is now very important to a brand's long-term prospects. Consistency is crucial when planning your marketing strategy. It is important that your message is the same whether consumers see it on your website, in e-mail blasts, on a mobile site or from a third party site (OTAs, vertical marketing sites, metasearch engines, etc.)
2) Brands need to install a startup culture and nurture a digital experience that runs through the business. Word of mouth is a great way of advertising to dozens of people, but those numbers will not sustain your business over the long haul. "Rewriting the rule book" should not be seen as a negative experience, but rather as growing with the always-changing digital landscape.
3) Storytelling helps the digital travel industry to get the right customers in the right way. Honest, authoritative and local content, infused with quality storytelling is the future of travel content. The millennial generation is looking for a unique experience when planning a getaway. Capturing that audience by telling your own unique story will be an important marketing tool going forward.
4) Storytelling, marketing, PR and outstanding content will inspire loyalty and provide long-term success to a brand. Brand loyalty has recently taken a step back to deals when consumers are planning to travel. Re-establishing brand loyalty with quality content and marketing is a key to survival in the future.
5) There is going to be an increasing trend towards personalization and the creation of more unique experiences. As noted earlier, this is precisely what a new generation of traveler is looking for. Millennials are willing to spend the money if they believe their experience will be unique
6) Mobile is the biggest growth area in terms of sales. Recent projections by PhoCusWright predict that U.S. mobile bookings will almost double in 2014 to $24.3 billion, up from $12.3 billion in 2013.
7) Mobile has led to the rise of the 'always connected traveler' and the possibility of in-experience interactions with brands. Social media allows guests to provide feedback and interact with a company in a way that has nearly usurped the role of the on-site concierge. Travelers use their mobile devices for everything from getting directions to their accommodations, to finding a restaurant or tourist attraction during their stay.

Are Metamediaries the Next Big Thing in Travel?
Extensive online travel agencies (OTAs) have played a large role in the hospitality industry for the past decade, but the outcomes have not necessarily been positive for all parties involved. They are a costly distribution channel for hoteliers, and have become a direct siphon for traditional travel agents.
The ultimate question to ponder at this time is what the next distribution giant will look like in the travel space.
Disruptive Forces
John Burns, president of Hospitality Technology Consulting, says that he does not see much change in hotel distribution in the near future. Burns notes that OTAs have evolved over the past decade, incorporating loyalty programs into their business model, but these agencies are now fighting to compete with metasearch engines like Kayak and TripAdvisor as well.
What happens when a larger force, or a bigger name enters the travel arena? How will this affect the traditional travel agent and OTAs?
The Big Names
Whereas Burns sees the current model remaining unchanged in the near future, Bonnie Buckhiester, president of Buckhiester Management, believes that OTAs could eventually become the "little guys" in the travel industry as larger companies emerge.
Buckhiester believes that OTAs like Orbitz, Hotels.com and Booking.com could struggle to keep with what are being called "metamediaries" – companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple – entering the landscape and creating their own category of intermediary.
Competition with these major names will be difficult because of one key factor: money.
Buckhiester points out some eye-opening numbers when talking about market capitalization of these companies. Marriott, a well-known name is the hospitality industry, capitalized at $13 billion, while Facebook is $60 billion, Google is $300 billion and Apple is $400 billion. If these companies enter travel in a serious way, their presence will be overwhelming.
Where do Traditional Agents Stand?
Traditional agencies still have a very good relationship with the managed business travel sector of the industry, with hotels working hard to maintain these relationships.
Complex travel arrangements will also cause consumers to turn to a trusted travel agent when planning a trip, but niche sites including One Fine Stay, which books lodgings like castles, private homes and apartments, are trying to capture their own unique segment of the travel population.
Predicting the Future
Ultimately, it is up to the travel agents, both online and traditional, to continue to reinvent themselves and show their value. Average commission costs that range from 15-25% across the market may require adjustment in order to keep pace when big names like Google, Apple and Amazon enter the travel space in a serious way.
Push Mobile Marketing – What You Need to Know
Are you getting the most out of your marketing campaign? Do you have a portion of your marketing budget dedicated to mobile marketing? Is it making a difference or are there improvements you could make to increase your ROI?
A recent Marketing Land column takes a closer look at the difference between push and pull mobile techniques, and how push mobile marketing may be the answer in connecting with guests both on- and off-site.
Defining Pull Mobile Techniques
When customers or consumers are proactively trying to attain the goods or information they need, this refers to a pull mobile technique. Accessing a responsive mobile website or mobile application allows a traveler to compare availability and rates, but this is not the only way they can acquire this information.
Effective Push Mobile Marketing Techniques
If pull mobile techniques involve a user-driven model, than it makes sense that push mobile techniques originate on the business side of things. It is important for companies to develop a conversation with consumers, hopefully allowing this to blossom into full-blown brand loyalty.
Mobile applications are a great way to send push notifications to travelers who have already downloaded your app, and getting users to download your app successfully is the first step. App alerts are a great way for brands to inform consumers of any new app updates or features, as well as notifying users of promotions or other activities.
One thing to keep in mind with app alerts is that all push notifications can be turned off. Consumers with dozens of apps on their smartphones tend to avoid being inundated with annoying alerts by disabling one or two push notifications. Depending on the smartphone, push notifications could be disabled as a default setting. Unless consumers are enabling this feature on their own, your message may not reach them.
Another way to reach consumers is the use of mobile messaging. Here are three keys to building the right mobile message for your brand:
-Decide whether your message requires a short message service (SMS) involving just text or a rich message service (RMS), which also includes some type of media (photo, videos, etc.) as well.
-Make sure your message is timely (90% of text messages are read within three minutes of delivery)
-Include a strong call to action. If you are offering a deal or promotion, include a deadline to increase the urgency of the consumer.
Regardless of what type of push mobile marketing your business is using, the key to its effectiveness will be a continued development of a more personal relationship with potential buyers. This will help to increase brand loyalty, and should result in future business down the road.
Bidroom Utilizing Reverse Auction Model
Auctions are a great place to find amazing values on goods or an object being sold to the highest bidder, but what happens when this model transitions into the hospitality and travel industries? A new hotel booking site, Bidroom, is attempting to re-create the current Online Travel Agency (OTA) model by introducing the reverse auction model.
You may be asking yourself, what is a reverse auction model? Well, instead of a group of travelers bidding on a vacation accommodation, these individuals are asked to fill out the basic details of their stay (arrival/departure dates, number of rooms required, etc.). This information is passed along to local hotels in real time, inviting them to provide their best offer, essentially bidding against other properties for a customer.
A 24-hour countdown clock helps both the traveler and hotel stay focused on making a deal. Typically, these prices are lower than those offered by big booking sites and hotels are receiving direct bookings in the process without a commission charge.
As if the bidding process were not innovative enough, Bidroom is attempting to wipe the slate clean by being the first to offer this model to travelers FREE-OF-CHARGE.
Free Service
How can the company expect to make any money it the service is free? Co-founder Mark Bradshaw explained that because Bidroom is a platform, rather than a typical travel or booking agency, the running costs are much lower than those of a traditional OTA.
In the future, Bradshaw hopes to consider following the lead services like Gmail, Skype or Facebook, whereby small advertisements run alongside the content or the webpages. Ultimately, he expects to keep the core service free of charge.
Why the New Business Model?
Over the past decade, the presence of OTAs has grown considerably. Many hoteliers recognize their marketing benefits and find them to be a great way to fill rooms. However, high commission rates and a lack of loyalty from direct bookings make it a challenge to compete in such a busy online marketplace.
Bradshaw believes that if hotel prices through Bidroom are 10% cheaper than a traditional OTA, both customers and hotels will be better off, and his independent platform will grow.
Roomer Travel: The Resale Marketplace Dynamic
Have you heard of StubHub and EBay? These well-known sites provide a secondary marketplace for buyers and sellers of valuable products. What would happen if there were a secondary marketplace for hotel rooms bought in advance, that need to be sold because of unforeseen circumstances? Welcome to the idea behind Roomer Travel.
Richie Karaburun, Roomer Travel's United States Managing Director, was recently on the Emerging Market Trends Panel at the Hotel Electronic Distribution Network Association (HEDNA) conference, and he discussed the business model behind the startup.
Here is how Roomer Travel works: travelers who have booked, and prepaid, for a non-refundable room can put their room up on the site, where they can re-sell it to another person.
On the surface, there is some fear from hoteliers and room suppliers that "hotel scalping" will become the norm, creating a potential disruption in the hotel supply chain. For example, what is stopping a person from buying a room at $100 six months in advance, and then selling in later when the Best Available Rate is higher than the price originally paid – thus making a profit? Shouldn't this profit be going to the hotel whose inventory is being re-sold rather than the customer?
Karaburun pointed out, the average discount they have seen on their platform is 37%. He claims this is a far cry from scalping, and more of a way to help customers with not having to eat the cost of the pre-paid hotel room when plans change.
The main goal of the company is to connect sellers – traveler who can no longer use their hotel reservation, but do not want to pay the cancellation fee – with other travelers who are willing to buy the reservation for them. This creates value for the hotels – which do not need to re-market the room and sell it for less (the hotel still gets the full price for a reservation). Hotels also have the opportunity to capture the incremental revenues (WiFI, minibar, etc.) which would be lost if the room is not re-sold.
Four Immediate Challenges Facing Roomer Travel
1) The true size of the market remains uncertain. Although Karaburun estimated that there are 80,000 hotel daily no-shows in the United States in an NBC News interview, this may be a slightly exaggerated figure. The key here is that not all hotels are offering a resale market option, and some of these rooms may not be non-refundable.
2) Unlike airlines, hotels allow name changes on a reservation now. If a consumer finds himself or herself unable to use a prepaid reservation, he or she can reach out to others using social media to see if anyone is interested in using a room.
3) Hotels may resist using Roomer if they believe it will have a negative effect on their revenues.
4) Simple convincing hotels to participate in this new marketplace will be a tough sell. Roomer could find it difficult getting branded hotels to participate. An easier angle to work may be independent hotels, but this reaches a limited consumer base.
Hotels Expand Mobile Check-In Options
As you have seen in many of our recent posts, a number of key trends and tips in the hospitality and travel industry focus on the expansion of multi-channel travelers. Everyone is traveling with a smartphone or tablet, and hoteliers need to recognize how important a tool these devices can be throughout the travel process.
The recent boom of mobile websites and applications allows travelers to book rooms with the click of a button. Now, because of a growing demand from tech savvy travelers, properties need to incorporate mobile check-in options to help guests avoid the front desk lines.
A recent Business Travel News article took a deeper look at what some brands and individual hotels are doing to make checking in an easier and faster process for travelers worldwide.
While check-in kiosks and other methods of avoiding the front desk line in recent years have become the commonplace at hotels, there has been a slow integration of mobile technology into this sometimes tedious process. There has been a greater adoption of mobile technology across some major hotel brands.
At the same time, some third-party technology suppliers are providing tools for hotels and distributors to offer mobile check-in.
Major Brands Getting Involved
Marriott Hotels will offer mobile check-in at all 500 of its hotels globally during the first half of 2014. Guests who are members can check in via the Marriott Mobile App from 4 p.m. on the day before arrival. When these guests arrive, their key card is waiting for them at a designated mobile check-in desk.
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts has a similar process at select hotels, with kiosks available for incoming guests to retrieve keys.
Another big name, Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, has taken a slightly different approach with nine properties currently piloting the Smart Check-In program. Guests receive a Starwood Preferred Guest Card and, on the day of their arrival, receive a text message telling them their room number. From this point, they can head straight to their room and use the SPG card as their key.

alright i'm working on my body work on my car but its running like crap its leaking oil and coolant really bad and its blowing harder out of one of my exhaust pipes(my friend said this could be problems with the heads) so i was wondering wat would be the cheapest way to rebuild or replace the motor i will have a local shop do all the internal works and everything wat i was thinking bout trying to do is get an explorer motor maybe stroke it to a 306 and get the heads and intake reworked and maybe a custom(or recommended cam from you guys)and hope for every day drivable 300rwhp since i dont race or anything right now i was planning on gettin the body fixed now and start saving for a rebuild in the summer months where i'll be working full time. is there any other pocket book friendly way to get reliable 300rwhp i'm just looking for a way to fix my sad motor and i havent done any kind of tests on my motor yet because i havent had a true off day for the last couple of months(with school and work) i was planning on doing one when i was working on prepping the body for the new paint job i know if my motor is still good then i could just modd it but would it be cheaper and more really to just get an explorer that has heads and all already together i'm just looking for input on fellow budget builders
thats wat i was thinking would probably be the best bet to do thanks and again this is just hopes for this summer
what are your compression numbers? blowing more out of the pipes dosent mean much, there is a crossover. it would be easier to replace a few gaskets that a whole motor.
i plan to start racing it after i start to work on it and i havent got any numbers yet i'm goin to wait till the weather isnt so harsh out since i dont have a garage

The Boone County Senior Citizens Day Picnic played to a full house again this year.
The annual event at the Boone County Fairgrounds on Wednesday provided an opportunity for area seniors to enjoy a day of social interaction and a hearty meal for a nominal $6 admission fee.
Boone County Judge-executive Gary Moore said this year's event had added significance because it fell on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. ...

Heres my 2001 Laredo, bought it about a month and a half ago. It was love at first drive. :kiss:
115,000 Miles 4.0L Special Appearance Group Bone stock, the day I brought her home http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/100_0418.jpg First Addition, Westin Brush Guard http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...316091842b.jpg Then Polar Bear tail light guards (Which are crap, never buy them :thumbdown:) http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...316091912a.jpg Here comes the IRO 3" kit! (And running board removal) http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...411091707a.jpg http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...0411091741.jpg http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...0411091742.jpg I got a smokin' deal on some 31" Mickeys http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...0411091708.jpg There she is so far, I have some sliders that are going on soon, and planning on putting some driving lights on the brush guard, then who knows what will happen after that! :wave: |
Looks real good, better without the runners, plus the sliders needed somewhere to go.
So what shocks did you go with? |
Looks really good. What sliders are you going with? That's my next project. On the grille gurad, watch the welds on the very top bar that goes above the Jeep symbol. I had a westin guard and at the welds, it started to rust within the first 2 years. I had it replaced but being on back order I went with Polar Bear. It seems to be holding up better. I need taillight gurads, but haven't heard that the polar bear taillight gurads are crap. Why is that? thanks.
What does the designation "special appearance group" denote?
Nice WJ:) |
Looks really nice. Keep the parts and pictures comeing
drink that beer before it gets warm.
The polar bear tail light guards: The tabs that hold the screws that go into your housing werent bent right. You can kind of see that the guards sit ON my housing instead of around it. Also one of the tabs on the drivers side one was welded about 3/4" too high, so i had to drill my own holes in the housing. And lastly, im having the same problem you did with your guard... Thye are starting to rust after about a month... Quote:
Thanks for the good comments! |
Nice mallcrawler, now ditch the brush guard, get some recovery and skids and wheel it.
So its been a few weeks now, whats your latest thoughts on the lift,......nice KC's too.
Getting my Kolak exhaust system installed tomorrow. Great deal, great product, great guy. Thanks Kolak!!!
http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/100_0438.jpg |
Cool man, getting them mods going, all ive done is new tweeters, jeepforum sticker on, and i de-badged her, and a new shorty black antenna, ....are you installing the exhaust yourself?
i'm getting the 3.5" IRO for my ZJ and then ordering Black Diamond Shocks. i've heard BDS are amazing and have a real smooth ride.
Man I love the Jeep. Looks good. How doeos that exhaust sound w/ the FW and the cat? have the same engine and thinking about doin the cat!

Tool Feature: Cordless Impact Drivers
- • Impact Drivers: Your Next Cordless Tool
- • Rapid-fire rat-a-tat-tat delivers driving force
- • Pluses and minuses
- • Your drill buying decision
Your drill buying decision
Although an impact driver probably should not be the first cordless tool you buy, a 10.8- or 12-volt model definitely has a place in a woodworking shop, especially for building anything with screws. Its power-to-weight ratio proves second to none, and the slower chuck rotation in impact mode, compared to 18-volt models, provides unparalleled finesse when driving screws to precise depth. But for day-in and day-out drilling duties, we still prefer a standard drill, cordless or electric.
If you build outdoor projects, such as arbors, pergolas, or decks, where you drive a lot of long screws or lag bolts, opt for an 18-volt impact driver. You'll appreciate its added power, and once you become familiar with using it, you can even use it in your shop.
Our advice: When the batteries start to fail on your current cordless drill, consider buying an impact driver with batteries compatible with your old drill. For the cost of the new impacter--about the same as a cordless drill--you'll have both drilling precision and raw power for your shop. You can also buy a cordless impact driver without batteries for about 40 percent less. Or if you'd like to add a new drill as well as an impacter, get a kit that includes both tools with two batteries and a charger. These typically cost about $30 to $50 more than a single drill or driver kit.

Used-up pugs Vince (Woody Harrelson) and Caesar (Antonio Banderas) are last-minute replacements on the undercard for a Las Vegas championship fight. They're best buddies, so, good payday or not, beating up on each other is a bummer. Still, Grace (Lolita Davidovich), whom they both love, is driving them from L.A. She's flaky fun, but the movie never achieves more than feckless amiability. Shelton (Bull Durham) has done better with athletic lowlifes and doubtless will again.

What is encephalitis?
Infection of the brain is called encephalitis.
Any other cause of brain irritation is called as encephalopathy and can be seen with diseases such as
hypertension (high BP)
, kidney failure (uremic encephalopathy), jaundice (hepatic encephalopathy), poisoning and heavy mental intoxication.
What are the common causes of encephalitis?
Viruses are common organisms causing encephalitis. Common viruses causing encephalitis are herpes virus, mump virus,
virus, arboviruses, enteroviruses, Influenza virus and dengue. Non viral causes of encephalitis are other organisms such as rickettsia, TB, fungal and certain parasites.
What are the symptoms of encephalitis?
The common symptoms are high
vomiting, fits and coma. These symptoms are variable in onset and severity. Patients may recover on their own or may quickly progress to deepening coma.
How is the diagnosis of encephalitis made?
Diagnosis of encephalitis is made by detecting cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. (Cerebrospinal fluid is the fluid present in the brain cavity). This cerebrospinal fluid also helps to detect the organisms causing the infection. MRI brain helps to determine which area of the brain is involved and look for complications such as
brain abscess
(increase in size of brain cavity due to increase pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid). EEG can help to determine Herpes virus infection.
What are the complications of encephalitis?
Rapidly progressive encephalitis can lead to more brain damage and death. Patients may develop stroke, paralysis, vision and hearing problems, mental retardation and epilepsy. Patients may become handicapped and even bed ridden.
What is the treatment of encephalitis?
Treatment is largely supportive and includes measures to prevent increase in brain pressure. Specific antiviral drugs, anti TB drugs may be required based on the organism suspected.

Theater Lover Takes A Stand Against Annoying Cell Phone
Originally published on Mon May 20, 2013 11:18 am
By editor
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
Kevin Williamson took a stand against annoying cell phone use. The National Review writer attended a musical in New York and says the crowd was disruptive. One woman was Web surfing on her phone, violating theater rules. Mr. Williamson tells Gothamist he complained to the woman. She replied: So don't look. That's when Williamson grabbed her phone and threw it across the theater, an offense for which he says he's glad to go to jail if he is prosecuted.

Don't get me started on skinny jeans I cant get my legs into most pants out there if I buy jeans/pants with a 34" waist...they are all made for stick people.
Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
Quoted for truth.
My last pants shopping/dressing room experience was pretty laughable. After that experience, I never want to shop again. I ended up getting a great deal (online) on some Dockers.
Saturday Khaki (D3 - Classic Fit)
I'd consider the Relaxed Fit but fear they might end up looking too loose. Thankfully, the Saturday Khaki is made to be comfortable and soft enough to want to wear on a Saturday. Hmm...maybe I should consider the relaxed fit.
Ladies, I really wish y'all used measurements like men do for clothes. It makes things a little easier.
In Canada I go to Marks Work Wearhouse for their store brand jeans. They fit my legs beautifully, they last longer than the name brands and are 1/3 the price. They are made to work in so they fit better and they have a huge range of sizes. I am also down to a size 40 waist from a 52 so I get all giggly when I shop.
Primal since April 2012 Male 6' 3" SW 345lbs CW 240lbs GW 220lbs and when I get there I am getting a utlikilt. This one http://www.utilikilts.com/company/pr...ilts/workmans/ actually.
Join me at www.paleoplanet.net, where all the cavemen hang out.
Hey naow I wear skinny jeans!
Then again, my current goal is to never fit into smaller jeans due to the circumference of my muscles... Not that I'm particularly skinny, as a few of you've seen...
Props to Mr. A and Rich of course. Being in Korea for almost two years, I'll agree; men, leave the skinny jeans in the womens' section!
The MDA drunk: drunk posting warning. I feel like I should add a caveat; this is my Saturday afternoon!

Rectrix suit turns 1
Written by David Still II
July 20, 2007
The Rectrix Aerodrome Centers civil lawsuit against Barnstable Municipal Airport and some of its officials turned 1 year old today.
The Rectrix suit, filed in July 2006, alleges among other things that airport officers acted as an "enterprise," as defined by federal Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statutes, and used an illegal monopoly on the sale of jet fuel to fund municipal operations beyond the scope of Federal Aviation Administration grant assurances.
The court has yet to establish a schedule for discovery in the case. It remains in the preliminary stages, awaiting a decision by U.S. District Court of Massachusetts Judge Richard Stearns on whether the FAA should rule on certain aspects of the case.
Damages sought by Rectrix are still unspecified, but damages in RICO and anti-trust cases are tripled.
Last month, attorneys for Rectrix filed an initial disclosure of people from whom it may seek additional information. On that list are Town Manager John Klimm, Finance Director Mark Milne, Town Attorney Robert Smith, and FAA program administrator Donna Witte, as well as named defendants in the suit.
In addition to the disclosure, subpoenas were sent to some of the individuals on the disclosure list, including Klimm and Smith, at the end of June regarding the scheduling of depositions.
In response to the initial complaint, attorneys for the airport and defendants asked that the suit be stayed until the FAA had an opportunity to rule. The back and forth since then, including a December appearance before Stearns for oral arguments, has focused on the stay and request for FAA involvement.
In response to a set of proposed questions for the FAA, in a March filing Rectrix said it is not suggesting that the monopoly held by the airport violates FAA law, but argues that the practice of allowing exclusive rights violates the federal Sherman antitrust act and forms the foundation of the RICO complaints. As such, Rectrix's attorneys argue, how the FAA rules on those claims is immaterial.
With Rectrix looking beyond the FAA's rules and regulations, the case may get wider attention in the aviation world if the RICO and Sherman Act claims are allowed to proceed to trial.
The case remains in the preliminary stage. Attorneys for the airport are attempting to whittle down the claims that could go to trial.
Rectrix wants all of the charges set to go forward to be heard by a jury at trial.
