Getting you more information on this room
I had a wonderful stay here. My room was a bit small, but since I was by myself, I didn't care. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean and up to date. I plan to stay here again upon my next trip to Paris. The only thing is that it can be a little loud...
Great location , loads of bars and restaurants and bakerys on this street , good value for money . Very clean up to date hotel would defo stay here again . Lovely part of Paris old cobble streets , taxi rank near by . Very satisfied
could we make it a double room
The hotel Mouffetard has now changed ownership from the comfort inn group to qualys. I hope they've retained the local management / personnel bc they were most excellent.
The hotel is typical of Paris re size - a Double really means it will fit 2 people. In our room, there's no room for a roller bed and the double beds will fit one person only. If you are more than 2, you'll want to and may have to book another room.
There are few Paris hotels which fit 3 or 4 people but there may be rooms at the Mouffetard that serves that purpose - it's best to call or email w specific requests.
Have fun - it's a nice pedestrian street and a fun neighborhood.
To Comfort Hotel Mouffetard staff: Attention Reservations:
We have reservations for 1Nov - 7Nov, (1 double and 1 with twin beds). We will arrive 1Nov at about 12noon. May we ask for rooms at the back of the building, preferably on the 2 floor? We have stayed at your hotel before and we do not want rooms on the front of the building where street traffic is noisy. Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to staying with you.
We are traveling with Go-Today Reservation #586889.
Thank you in advance.
Jeannie Coggins and Sue Maxwell
Good luck. Smart move you are correct about the nosie. You may even try to call the hotel as well to talk with someone. Make sure to get their name. When we asked to move they said hotel was full, which was a lie. I think when you travel on these discount travel companies you get stuff up front where the nosie is. Try having Go Today call for you since they book so much there.Good Luck
I have just booked 6 nights at this hotel and now am very afraid agter reading reviews. What is law on cancelation. Is there a cooling off period. It says i have to pay full price if i cancel
Good morning Madam,
It's depend on the way you made your booking.
May I have your name to check your reservation.
Jean de Moustier GM
Are the electrical outlets it the room universal or do I need an adapter (traveling from the US). Thanks!
If I recall it properly, outlets are type SE. Most common ones around Europe.
Tem ar condicionado nos quartos ?
No quarto que fiquei (2 twin beds) não tinha. Tem somente aquecedor.
See all questions
"Don't pay extra to book a superior - it does not seem to make any difference"
"I stayed in room 64 which is pretty small. The toilet room and shower room are at opposite corners of the room (which is again, small so not a huge deal, but somewhat awkward). Next time I'll try to get a room more towards the back where it is a bit quieter."
"The street is full of bars and restaurants and gets noisy at night, but from our 5th floor rooms we didn't hear a thing!"
"Great room "
"Be prepared to deal with noise from other guests as open windows are a requirement for comfort."

Niobrara State Park is a public recreation area located on the bluffs at the confluence of the Missouri and Niobrara rivers in the northeast corner of Nebraska.[3] The state park is on the outskirts of the village of Niobrara. The state park has 1,640 acres (660 ha) of land and 7 acres (2.8 ha) of water.[2] The park includes the Niobrara River Bridge, a decommissioned railroad bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
A variety of animals, most notably the white-tailed deer, roam about the park. At night, one can hear the call of the whippoorwill as it mingles around the howl of the coyote.[3]
Activities and amenities[edit]
Park facilities include a swimming pool and interpretive center. Visitors can tour the park via 7 miles (11 km) of roads and 14 miles (23 km) of hiking trails. The park offers RV and primitive camping as well as cabins that overlook the river.[3]

Field of the Invention This invention pertains to a class of equipment used in testing digital electronic apparatus and specifically to automatic equipments which perform a plurality of tests that heretofore required many different interface elements between the test equipment and the apparatus under test.
2. Description of the Prior Art In the prior art, a Program Storage and Routing (PSR) card is utilized to interface between a specific unit of a system under test and the automatic test equipment. The output lines on the PSR card couple programmable power supplies to the unit from the test equipment. These lines include the required voltage levels and their respective returns. To standardize the design of the cards, certain output terminals on each card are reserved for specific voltage levels. Other signals coupled between the unit under test and the test equipment include digital ones and zeroes referred to as stimuli signals, clear pulses, clock frequency signals and output signals generated by the unit under test in response to the stimuli signals. A particular PSR card could be used for one or possibly two tests because the terminals on each unit require the coupling of different types of signals to and from the test equipment. Therefore, each PSR card is designed to accommodate the performance of particular tests of specific units. As the number of different units and the number of different tests to be performed increases, the number of PSR cards required also increases. It can be appreciated that the setup time for testing is increased, thereby decreasing the efficiency of the automatic test equipment. Further, storage capacity is necessitated in order to accommodate the multiplicity of PSR cards.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an interface unit which couples a plurality of different signals on the same output terminals between automatic test equipment and units to be tested. This interface unit includes a decoder which processes received stimuli data inputs and applies the decoded stimuli outputs through parallel connected shift registers to a stimuli latch circuit. Programmed bit inputs are applied to a plurality of bit latch circuits that provide control outputs. Generator/- comparator circuits each of which includes a transistorized switch and a pair of integrated circuit comparators receives input signals from the stimuli latch circuit and control signals from the bit latch circuits. The output of the transistorized switch and the inputs to the pair of integrated circuit comparators in each generator/comparator are connected in common with one output terminal of the interface unit. Thus, as a function of time, an output terminal of the interface assembly may couple a stimuli signal to the unit under test and subsequently couple an output signal from the unit under test into the integrated circuit comparators. The stimuli signals may be digital ones or zeroes, clear pulses or clock frequency signals. Therefore, this device provides a single unit that obviates the need for a multiplicity of interface or Program, Storage, Routing (PSR) cards thereby enabling an increase in testing efficiency while reducing testing complexity and cost without any degradation in the accuracy of the test measurements obtained.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b combine to form a block diagram of the digital interface device including a schematic diagram of two generator/comparator circuits.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the FIGURE, an interface device 10 includes a decoder 11 which may be an integrated circuit element that converts a digital number appearing on the inputs DATA Q0. DATA Q1. DATA 0 and DATA 0; into a pulse output on one of the lines SELECT 0, SELECT 1, SELECT 2, or SELECT 3. The decoder 11 is coupled via the select lines to a plurality of eight bit shift registers l2, l3, l4 and 15. Each of the shift registers has input terminals which receive DATA, CLOCK and CLEAR inputs, respectively. In addition to its corresponding select input, the output terminal of each shift register 12-15 are connected to respective input terminals on a four bit latch circuit 16 which is a delay circuit responsive to external gating. Output stimuli signals from that latch circuit 16 designated S are coupled into corresponding comparator/generator circuits 17, 20, 21 and 22 which are identical schematically to 17 and 20 shown within the dashed lines in the figure. A further line designated SELECT A is connected to input gates 27 and 30. The signal on the SE L ECT A line is derived from the inputs ADDRESS ENABLE and GROUP ENABLE gated into the decoder 11 by a gate 26. Each stimuli signal, S is applied to the base of a switching transistor, for example, transistor 31. The collector of the transistor 31 is coupled through a collector resistor 32 to a supply voltage Vs and the emitter of the transistor 31 is connected directly to a return for the supply voltage designated Vsr. An output stimuli signal, S,,, is obtained from the junction of the collector resistor 32 and the collector of transistor 31. The output stimuli signal is applied to an output terminal, l,,, which is connected to a terminal on a unit under test as indicated by the leader in the figure.
Each of the comparator/ generators also receives control inputs C and C from either of the four bit latch circuits 23 or 24. These control inputs enable the operation of one of the two comparators in each comparator/generator, for example, comparator 33 or 34 in comparator/generator 17. The latch circuits 23 and 24 are similar to the 4 bit latch circuit 16 in that they are delay circuits responsive to external gating. The state, 0 or 1, of the programmable bits 1 through 8 determine the state of the respective control inputs C and C, that are applied to the comparators through the latch circuits 23 and 24.
Programmable reference voltages REF 1 and REF 0 are applied to reference input terminals on the respective comparators. REF 1 is the minimum allowable level for a one or high level and REF 0 is the maximum allowable level for a zero or low level. These levels may also be selected by appropriate programming. Thus, when C enables comparator 33, an output voltage re ceived from the unit under test is compared to REF 1. Alternatively, when C enables comparator 34, the output voltage received from the unit under test is compared to REF 0. As a result of this comparison test, either comparator 33 or comparator 34 will provide an output signal TRO indicative of the result of the test. A 4 bit shifl register 25 has one input terminal connected to a corresponding output terminal on each of the comparator/generators 17, 20, 21 and 22. Each comparator produces indicator output signals which are applied to the corresponding input terminal on the shift register 25. The indicator signals are processed through the shift register 25 in response to appropriate signals on the COMP EN and EV CLK lines thereby producing a GO/NO 60 signal output from the interface unit for each input received from the comparators.
In operation, consider a test to be performed on two different units. On the first unit under test, a stimuli signal S, is required from the output terminal 1,, and the unit under test provides an output signal to the interface device l As determined from the bit data inputs applied to the interface divide l0, accordin to Table A, zeroes are required on ABBRE ERABLE, GROUP ENABLE, DATA Q0. DATA 0.. DATA Q, and DATA Q, to obtain a zero on the which will enable its corresponding 8 bit shift register 12.
TABLE A Address Group Select Enable Enable Q, Q, Q, Q, 0 l 2 3 0 l X X X X l l 1 l l 0 X X X X l l l l l l X X X X l l l l 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 l l l 0 0 0 0 U l l 0 l l 0 0 0 0 l O l l 0 l 0 0 0 0 l l l l l 0 The stimuli signal required on I, for the test is serial data clocked into shift register 12 on its data input terminal, D. The data input may be a programmable eight bit data word stored in another shift register.
During loading of the shift register 12, the four bit latch circuit 16 prevents the input from being transferred to the comparator/generator 17. When both input terminals of the dual input gate 28 connected to the four bit latch circuit 16 have zeroes applied, the outputs 5,, follow the inputs from their corresponding shift registers 12-15. Since one input terminal on the dual input gate 28 is connected to ground, it always has a zero a lied. Therefore, when a zero is applied to MN terminal, the data transferred to the comparator/generators will follow the state of the in ut data. Upon application of a one level to the STGNAL 6 terminal, the transferred data will remain in the state of the input data at the time the one level was applied irrespective of further changes in the input data. This condition prevails until a zero is applied to the CLEAR terminal of the four bit latch circuit 16, at which time all the input and output data lines are reset to zeroes.
Thus, prior to loading, a zero is applied to the CLEAR terminal of the four bit latch circuit 16 which produces zeroes on the input and out ut data lines. Then a one level is applied to the TGT5AL 6N input which will maintain the output data lines at zeroes irrespective of further changes on the data input lines. As a result, the stimuli signals which are being stored in the shift register 12 are not transferred through the 4 bit dual latch circuit 16 to the unit under test. After the stimuli signals have been stored in the shift register 12,
6 the test is gerformed by applying a zero level to the input and a CLOCK signal which may be a programmable train of pulses to the CLOCK input terminal. The stimuli signals, S are coupled into the base of the transistor 31 and the inverter output stimuli signals, 8,, are obtained from the collector of the transistor 31. By varying the amplitude of the supply voltage Vs applied to the collector resistor 32, the level of the output stimuli signals 5,, can be controlled. The output stimuli signals, 8,, are applied to the unit under test through the interface output terminal 1,. In response to the applied stimuli signals, 5,, the first unit under test will produce an output signal on output terminal L. This output signal is coupled into the comparator/generator 20 and applied to the inputs of comparators 38 and 37 one of which is enabled by control input C, or C,, respectively, as determined by the input bits 1 through 4. The input S, from the unit under test is compared to REF 1 in comparator 37 if C, is high or it is compared to REF 0 in comparator 38 if C, is high. The test result of the comparison appears on TRl and is cou led into the 4 bit shift register 25 when the COM? EN input goes to a zero followed by a transition from a zero to a one on EV CLK. Each output on lines TRO through TR3 is sequentially coupled into shift register 25. These outputs are shifted through shift register 25 and are produced as GO/NO GO outputs by successive clock pulses. Therefore, if the output signal from the module under test is a one, it is compared to REF 1 in comparator 37 and if it is greater than REF 1, it will produce a G0 output signal from the shift register 25 or if it is less than REF 1, it will produce a N0 G0 output signal. Alternatively, if the output signal from the module under test is a zero, it is compared to REF 0 in comparator 38 and if it is less than REF 0, it will produce a G0 output signal from the shift register 25 or if it is greater than REF 0, it will produce a NO/GO output signal.
Since the foregoing test can be interchanged between generator/comparators 17 and 20 on a second unit under test, by simple programming changes, the versatility of this device can be readily appreciated. Further, because the output lines on the interface unit 10 can be employed as either stimuli lines or as comparator lines for coupling outputs from the unit under test to the dual input comparators 17, 20, 21 and 22, it eliminates the multiplicity of interface cards or PSR cards required in previous test equipment interface units.
While the invention has been described in its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the words which have been used are words of description rather than limitation and that changes may be made within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention in its broader aspects.

Kent: 14th Armed Robbery Arrest
Detectives have charged another man in connection with an armed robbery in the village of Lenham near Maidstone a year ago.
Police say the risk of becoming a victim of crime in Kent is the lowest it's been for four years.
Latest figures from the Home Office's British Crime Survey 2010/2011 show the overall number of recorded incidents in Kent and Medway has fallen by more than 40,000 or 28% since 2007.
Violent crime is at a four year low, falling 5% on the last year's figures, and 27% since 2007, while criminal damage and burglary are down by 6% and 4.6% respectively.
Recorded offences involving the use of a knife or sharp instrument are also down by 10% and offences involving a firearm have fallen 28%.
But there has been a rise in sex offences which were up 2.3% in Kent. Medway in particular saw an increase of 15.2% in various sex offences, many of which were historical from victims too afraid to come forward before now. Police say they have proactively strived to instill confidence in encouraging victims to come forward to report this type of offence.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Brandon said: "We will not be complacent and will continue to work with our partner agencies to reduce crime and the impact of crime on our county.
We will be carrying out a series of initiatives over the coming year to further reduce crimes that matter to our communities, such as the current burglary campaign.
"The increase in our neighbourhood officers, in line with the new policing model for Kent, will enable us to focus on offences such as burglary, theft and anti social behaviour, all of which are deeply upsetting for the victims.'

De Correspondent: Scale & Conquer the U.S.
The Dutch media startup faces the realities of subscription economics. And makes a big bet.
This is part 2 of my two-part mini-series on De Correspondent. Here's the first.
Part one in a nutshell: The Dutch news startup De Correspondent gets a lot right conceptually. Their approach to building a subscription-based journalism business is fundamentally sound. This can't be said about every company that attempted it. It's a decent starting point.
The Dutch site's entire business model is optimized for the web. Here's what to like.medium.com
However, building a successful online news business on subscriptions alone hasn't been done yet. Can De Correspondent pull it of? Let's evaluate the companies past performance and future. A huge variable in that equation: their recently announced plan to launch in the US next year. An ambitious plan, to say the least.
Addressable Market & Performance
The Dutch market is rather small at a population of 16.8 million. But at 56,000 subscribers as of March, De Correspondent still has plenty of space to grow. To get an idea of the general willingness-to-pay for journalism, one can glimpse at the competition. TMG — the media holding that runs the country's biggest newspaper De Telegraaf — made €114 million from combi-subscription (print +digital) last year. According to their 2016 annual report, that number is primarily due to De Telegraaf subscribers, who converted from print to combi-subscriptions. (It's apparently hard to leave the paper behind once you're used to it.¹)
Interestingly, TMG reported only €4 million in digital-only subscription revenue. According to my (quick) estimates, De Correspondent's subscription revenues amounted to about €3.2 million last year. Which doesn't look too bad in comparison. But it might make you wonder if the startup is already approaching market saturation. I doubt it. A digital-only publication's addressable market should include a fair number of people who opt for combi-subscriptions when given the option. The hard part, of course, is getting in front of those readers.
Net subscriber growth since the site's launch in September 2013 has been relatively constant in absolut terms (in case you're wondering: they started with 20k subscribers as a result of a crowdfunding campaign). This, of course, results in a declining growth rate which isn't optimal, particularly in early stages. Although I should note, De Correspondent hardly spends on advertising but heavily relies on recommendations. In 2016, they only spent 2.5% of their subscription revenue on marketing. For the sake of comparison: Other subscription media companies like Netflix or Spotify spend in the 12–15% range according to MIDiA Research data.
Scale & Feedback Loops
Not investing in marketing is an interesting decision, to say the least. It's no secret: subscription services depend on scale. In online journalism, the main cost is content creation. Writers need to be paid, research funded. The catch in case of subscription models: In order to convince people to pay, the content must be top-notch. Thus, you need to be able to hire the best writers and finance in-depth research. That's expensive. At best, it creates a positive feedback loop:
But as a startup, in a market with established competition, you don't operate in a vacuum. You can't outspend the established companies nor conjure subscribers. Hence, a good strategy is to focus on a niche and create superior content for it. As I explained in the first part, De Correspondent does that to a degree. They ignore breaking news, focus on long-form journalism and allow writers to specialize.
As a result, their product is partially unbundled. But the economics are not. Every subscriber pays for the full package, not for individual writers or topics. This increases the number of subscribers you need to operate profitable.
At the end of 2016, De Correspondent reported 52,000 subscribers. 78% of those purchased the yearly subscription at €60, the rest pays €6 a month. That equates to approximately €3.2 million in subscription revenue. (At constant growth, it should arrive at €4 million by the end of 2017.)
Those numbers aren't very telling in isolation. But when you put them into context, they illustrate why creating said positive feedback loop is difficult. A KPI that can act as a (very rough) indicator of a publisher's ability to invest in journalism is revenue per employed journalist.
A word of caution: the number doesn't tell you how much a publishing company can spend for its journalism with any precision. Depending on the organization, there are all kinds of costs from raw materials to overhead that need to be deducted from the revenue first. That said, it can be used as a quick-and-dirty benchmark. Just don't read too much into it.
With that, let's look at De Correspondent's revenue per journalist and compare it to the New York Times's. The latter is widely regarded as a very sound journalistic organization and therefore an interesting benchmark.
De Correspondent:
Revenue 2016 (estimate, in € million): €3.2 million
Editorial staff: 21 (source)
Revenue per employed journalist: €0.15 million
New York Times:
Revenue 2016 : $1,555.3 million ≈ €1,406.0 million*
Editorial staff: 1,300 (source)
Revenue per employed journalist: $1.2 million ≈ €1.1 million
The caveat here: The NYT has a totally different cost structure. It's a much bigger organization. It spends on ad sales. It produces and distributes a physical newspaper. For instance, the cost for raw materials — which include cost for newsprint and outside printing — made up 5% of total revenues in 2016. So, we aren't performing precise science here.
Still, it's a difference of almost an order of magnitude. Even if we account for the different business models: It's fair to assume that the NYT can invest significantly more into its journalism, even when accounting for the different cost structure. That is bad news if your business model relies on offering the best journalism.
The Big Bet
Now, the NYT isn't your benchmark in the Netherlands. Things might look different there. However, De Correspondent is aiming for the US (btw with support from Jay Rosen). That is a two-edged sword. English content, particularly when created with international readers in mind, has a much bigger addressable market. In theory, scaling becomes a lot easier. Yet, competition increases as well — in quantity and quality. Suddenly the NYT is an actual competitor.
It takes a dedicated newsroom to establish a relevant outlet in the USA. The Correspondent intends to set up shop in New York. This requires significant investments². Hiring talent (in a crowded media market no less), marketing (relying on recommendations without a base audience likely won't do it) and the founders' time (don't neglect that factor).
The US launch is a huge bet.
How you lose it: The launch puts a burden on the company at home. Instead of focusing to increase the subscriber base at home, the key management team is involved in building the business abroad. The US proofs to be a tough, crowded market with a distinct culture. Arriving almost without a reputation makes it even harder (though Rosen's support helps a little). The company burns through a pile of cash. The struggles overseas consume leadership fully. The culture at home slowly but surely erodes. All that at a stage, when its home market would still have provided enough room to grow (and without first attempting to conquer bigger but closer markets like the German-speaking one). Alas, the company ends up in dire straits.
How you win it: Thanks to the writer-friendly business model and culture, The Correspondent manages to hire a few big names. They bring their established readership along. A few stories go viral, catalyzed by the media crowd which embraces the exotic startup. The company's reputation grows quickly — and with it the subscriber base. Thanks to careful planning and good hiring, the co-founders manage to split their duties and export their culture successfully without sacrificing at home. While the initial expansion budget is quickly spent, a new crowdfunding campaign succeeds, with the help of US members and friends of the brand. The ongoing Trump presidency keeps the willingness to spend on journalism at a high level. The Correspondent's critically acclaimed coverage turns it into a go-to location.
I would like to see the second scenario play out. But I regard the first one as more likely. Too many random variables have to turn out right, for the second to manifest. My key issue is with the timing: De Correspondent is still a small company and entering the US market is a big undertaking. Its home market — or geographically closer ones — would allow to grow without having to operate on different continents.
It's the payoff, stupid
That said, you mustn't only look at the odds when taking a bet. You need to consider the payoff structure too. Even if the chance of succeeding in the US is small, the upside is way bigger than the downside: establishing a successful content company in English turns it into a (almost) global publishing business. If you fail, you're just another startup gone bust. Right there, we are starring at the basic conflict of entrepreneurship: How much risk do you consider worth taking?
In the case of De/The Correspondent, deciding to shoot for the US market doesn't require the founders to consider the second scenario as highly probable. It's a good decision if Rob Wijnberg and Ernst-Jan Pfauth regard it as fairly reasonable. And there are ways to hedge against losing the bet: setting up a legal structure that protects the business at home and making sure not to lose sight of the challenges there.
I do think the timing boarders on too early. But I might be wrong. It cuts both ways: competition for subscribers will only increase and being early comes with its own set of advantages. Plus, older organizations tend to become more risk-averse. Conquering the English-speaking market is always going to present a risk; but certainly one worth taking. So they might as well try now.

Arvind Kejriwal speaks at Jantar Mantar at the end of a protest march organised to show solidarity for the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University who have been fighting for the right to free speech. Hundreds of students from University of Hyderabad and Osmania University, and students from universities in the national capital, such as Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi University, Jamia Milia and Ambedkar University began their march at Ambedkar Bhawan in central Delhi's Jandewalan. Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
In his address, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, "If Modiji does not mend ways then very soon the youth and students will come together to teach him a lesson." He added, "I had said earlier, 'Modiji students se pange mat lena' (don't mess with students). Otherwise they will rock your government and you won't have a clue." Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
Protesters hold up placards with photographs of Rohith Vemula, the University of Hyderabad student who committed suicide earlier this year, and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution. Vemula's mother Radhika and brother Raja also participated in the march. Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
This is the second such protest organised in the city. A major protest against the JNU row was organised in the city last week where a large number of students, academia, intellectuals and rights activists had participated. Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
In his address, Rahul Gandhi mounted a shrill attack on the Modi government and RSS, accusing them of crushing voices of dissent of college and university students across the country. "We need a law to ensure that students in colleges and universities do not face discrimination and their voice is not stifled," he said. Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
Accusing the Centre of muzzling the voice of students across universities in the country if they differ with ideology of RSS, Rahul Gandhi said Congress will fight for bringing a law to check such "suppression". He alleged that government was trying to suppress not only the youths but also the Adivasis, Dalits and other weaker sections. Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
