Starting a Hotel Business
Hotels are lucrative business - successful hotels, that is. Perhaps the very first thing you should consider is whether you want to establish your own hotel or buy a franchise of an existing one. There are pros and cons for both choices, and you really need to weigh your options carefully because the hotel business comes with a steep price tag.
There are hotels and there are hotels and then there are more hotels.
Often, people seek the services of hotels because of the name – and yes, there are quite a number of famous hotels in the world. But people often patronize one particular hotel time and time again because of the service that they find attractive to them. Starting a hotel business is a huge risk. You are assured only that you will have competition of the greatest magnitude. If you are considering putting up such a business, this article can give you a few things to ponder on before starting. This article assumes, of course, that you have a background in hotel management, and that you have enough finances to actually set this thing up. Unlike small bed and breakfast inns, hotels need more living spaces, more staff, more security, etc. to be serviceable. You are offering hospitality services, but on a grander scale.
Perhaps the very first thing you should consider is whether you want to establish your own hotel or buy a franchise of an existing one. There are pros and cons for both choices.

If you prefer to build your own hotel name, you can make your business venture as original as you want (for example, you can make it into a theme hotel like the Hotel Diva in San Francisco or the Sheraton Safari Hotel in Florida.) With a "new" hotel, you have all the liberty to scope out your competition and offer rates that can draw in flocks of interested clients. You can make your services as personalized as possible, if that is what you are aiming for. You can also make promotions when and if you feel like your business needs it. Unfortunately, with so much competition on board, not every new hotel makes an impressionable dent in the industry. An unnoticeable hotel is almost a dead hotel – even if you spend mucho money on advertising and gimmickry. One of the worse things about creating a "new" hotel is that you literally have to wait a couple of years before you can count on any return of investment (if there are returns at all.) Besides, in order to gain foot traffic, you can only set competitive rates. This means that you regularly need to really scope out your competitions.
On the other hand, if you prefer to buy a franchise of an existing hotel, you might do better, especially if your chosen franchise has a prominent name and years of experience to back it up. An established name can help you with all the basic ground work concerning customer relations, staffing, security issues, promo packages, etc. You need not worry about advertising because the hotel name will do this on its own. If your franchise is really prominent in the hotel industry, you can set hotel rates accordingly and make a tidy profit within a year of operation. Unfortunately, this venture comes with a steep price tag, and you will be governed strictly by the ideals of the hotel name. This certainly won't give you an avenue for your creative ideas. Also, not all franchises make a fine profit, despite the seeming promise of immediate return of investment.
The main culprit for the failure of hotels is competition. There are many, many hotels in the world vying for new customers – and yes, they all have their gimmicks when it comes to enticing new patrons to walk through their doors. They all have their blend of personalized hospitality services. They all have their take on keeping their patrons happy, satisfied and most likely to return to their doorsteps. If you are in a city or town that has a lot of visitors or tourists, and your hotel business is the only one in the vicinity, you just make fortune in a heartbeat. But we all know that this is a dream, so be prepared for a lot of competition when and if you do start your hotel business.

there exists five star hotel which is running and doing good business. Now, they went for a franchise with one club which is running very well. whether hotel can run the said club in its premises without taking permission of village panchayat. Pl.advise. In case, they don't need additional permission but villagers object running of business in the name of such club fearing that it may lead to adverse effect on village because such club helps in flourishing various types of nefarious activities such as prostitution, drugs, murders, goondagiris etc. pl. advise whether we can stop the hotel in running such clubs within its premises.
It is situated at village cavelossim, salcete, Goa, India. our place is peaceful and no such nefarious activities are known and high end tourist are coming to take rest and they want peaceful environment.

Tony Blair, in a Commons statement on the European Council in Vienna, said the Conservative leader's policy was determined by the "headbangers" who served in his Shadow Cabinet.
Earlier, Mr Hague attacked the Prime Minister's denial that there would be uniform tax rates within the European Union, saying the Prime Minister's "habit of saying one thing to an audience in one place and another to an audience in another place is catching up with him".
Mr Hague agreed there was an "overwhelming case" for duty free sales to be kept, but attacked Mr Blair for "going with the flow" in his discussions with EU colleagues.
"Can you confirm that while you were telling the British media that the rebate was not up for negotiation, you were busily telling the Austrian media that there would be wide-ranging negotiations in which the rebate would come up for discussion?
"Wouldn't that be a much more effective way to ensure your thoughts are reported accurately than whining about the British press."
Rather than making pledges on uniform tax rates, Mr Blair should have insisted on an end to tax harmonisation, the Tory leader said, adding: "Wouldn't arguing against these real threats have demonstrated more backbone than arguing against imaginary threats?"
Replying, Mr Blair said it was "perfectly sensible" to try to reform some European tax practices as they were "harmful to this country".
"If the Tories were in power today, we would not have an ally anywhere, no influence, no authority, no ability to get our own way ... under your leadership the lunatics have taken over the asylum. You're not running your party. The policy of your party is determined by the headbangers you have surrounded yourself with in the Shadow Cabinet"
"This country's national interest lies in being part of Europe. That's the way to win in Europe and that is what this Government shall do," he added.
Menzies Campbell, Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, welcomed Mr Blair's "apparent recent conversion to the view that government policy in Europe is determined by what is best for Britain, and not what is least offensive to certain newspaper proprietors".
Gerald Kaufman, the former Labour minister and MP for Manchester Gorton, said "the best way to gain concessions, such as on duty free or the beef ban" was not by "the tantrums and boycotts in which the other side indulged when in Government, but by co-operation and winning over friends".Reuse content

Jeremy Begley's Reviews > The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome
The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome
by Susan Wise Bauer
by Susan Wise Bauer
Jeremy Begley's review
Oct 04, 2011
An interesting read. Exhaustive at times, but wide in scope. It begins with an engaging depiction of the first rise of civilizations in five river valleys stretching from the Nile to the Yellow river. Focusing on narratives and accounts found in early developments of written languages, and in the accounts of ancient historians, Bauer gives a clear succession of cultural influences over a period of over 3000 years in an area touching on three continents. A great body of knowledge for anyone to experience.

Previous parents have

On the final go , the index for the last entry wiill not be the node id , but a +1 index PHP assigns…
Hi Stefan,
I've started to play around with Zebra_Mptt and immediately ran into a problem, which led me to look up the function. It appears that the mysql functions you use are being deprecated in future versions of PHP. Do you plan to update the library to be compatible with future versions of PHP?
Sounds silly but how do I add in additional fields to be displayed?Reply
Also since this loads the entire tree into memory, how would this handle extended trees of say 100,000 levels?Reply
Did some testing and this is a fine example but probably would be better suited without the caching of the fields, good for small datasets but once you hit 10000 or more takes up a huge chunk of memoryReply
Hi! first of all, thanks for the great work!
I think I've spotted a bug in the method get_parent.
You should be returning:
To ensure returning all of the parent properties and not only the ID.
Best regards!Reply

Education isn't just about exam results. Neither a pupil nor a school can ever be entirely captured in even the most sophisticated performance measures.
Developing young men of excellent character is one of Newcastle School for Boys' aims. A worthy or lofty ambition you might think. Visit the School and you will see it and feel it. But it's certainly hard to measure.
We define character in the virtues contained in our character compass with their half-termly focus across the school: community, integrity, resilience, courage, leadership and empathy.
The focus for the first half of this spring term is resilience – a theme I introduced in my Senior School assembly last week and will develop further in the coming weeks. It links, of course, to the very real concern about the increase in mental illness in young people.
One of our school aims is to develop boys and young men of excellent character. The other is to challenge and support each boy to achieve the highest levels of academic progress.
Newcastle School for Boys' character compass points to the six key virtues we promote in our boys' personal development. Captured in the compass and in the mnemonic 'CIRCLE', the first C is for community. As a school, we appreciate the benefits we derive from our relationships in the local community as well as recognising our obligations to serve that community. We seek to develop those same senses of appreciation and duty in our pupils.
I frequently use the cyclical nature of school life to highlight new beginnings and fresh starts. Of course, by its nature, the academic year also generates endings and conclusions.
As we broke up for summer half term, our Year 13 boys were in school for the very final day of lessons of their school careers. A number of them had been at NSB – or one of its predecessor schools – for their entire school lives; others had joined at various later stages. For all of them, the day marked a significant rite of passage.
The following blog is an adapted version of my opening remarks at Newcastle School for Boys' eighth annual sports presentation evening sponsored by Oddballs and held at the Newcastle Marriott Hotel Gosforth Park on Wednesday 12th October 2016. The evening celebrated our boys' individual and collective achievements and participation in the preceding year of school sport and PE. We were honoured to welcome our special guest for the evening: Newcastle Falcons and Scotland international rugby player, Ally Hogg.
School sport means everything. Not as an overwhelming priority detrimental to academic progress but in a wider, more inclusive sense. It complements the academic curriculum and provides a wide range of benefits and opportunities: from preparation for a professional playing career to the health and social benefits of recreational sport and exercise.
In considering what school sport means to our boys, I've tried to project myself into their minds in two ways. Firstly, by testing my own long term memory to recall my own experience of school sport and secondly and more relevantly by asking some of the boys themselves.
It was real pleasure to attend our school's tenth anniversary ball recently. Just as we had hoped, all of the sections of the school community that have contributed to the School's success were there. And as I said on the evening, it's easy to forget just how far the School has travelled in its first ten years. We also unveiled at the ball plans for the fundraising projects chosen by parents: improved outdoor spaces at North and West Avenue and a refurbished sports hall at The Grove.
Establishing a new independent school in the north east in the recent economic climate is no mean achievement. As a previous blog highlighted, in this region during the past seven years, seven independent schools have gone out of existence: closing, merging and/or reforming with a different status or source of funding. In this time, we have continued to grow and develop our school.

Now, after an extraordinary week of old habits and hard grudges, the guns are out again in the province and the ship is surely sinking. In the words of Gerry Adams, the peace process is "in absolute ruins". Others with long memories of the Troubles talk grimly of "another 25 years". Sources with access to IRA thinking claim the Provos are planning a military campaign lasting four or five years.
Something may yet be salvaged from the mess, but after a loyalist insurrection and a nationalist backlash, no one can now see a way forward. Are we back in 1985? Or is it 1974? Or even 1969? Or, they might ask in despair, have we simply never left 1690?
On Friday, the Unionists celebrated the 306th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in their most triumphal manner for years. After a decade of concessions to Sinn Fein and Dublin - as they see it - they finally had something to cheer about. The victory of the Orange Order in overturning a police ban on parading through a nationalist area of Portadown has dramatically revived the spirits of the majority. You could read it in their faces, fixed in a "Gotcha!" grin. They are back where they like to be, where they think destiny has brought them: on top, in charge, no concessions.
As for the minority, they are also somewhere familiar: defeated, furious with the RUC, furious with the British government and so outraged with the failure of constitutional politics that mobs in the streets have been calling on the IRA for war.
IT HAPPENED with a crushing inevitability, as if in slow motion. Everyone has known since last summer that David Trimble, having won the Unionist Party leadership by riding the Orange tiger at Portadown, would have to repeat the performance this year, with all that meant in terms of public order. As one source in London put it: "It's in his constituency; he's a member of the Orange Lodge; he's the leader of the Ulster Unionists. He had no choice. If he had stayed away Ian Paisley would have grabbed the limelight." In Belfast someone remarked: "The dogs in the street knew the Orangemen would walk Garvaghy Road."
A little more than two weeks ago Mr Trimble himself approached Sir Patrick Mayhew, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, warning that the march threatened to develop once again into a stand-off, and appealing for him to intervene. Sir Patrick declined and Sir Hugh Annesley, the RUC Chief Constable, ruled that because of the danger of violence the Orangemen could not follow their chosen route.
By last Tuesday, the predicted impasse had begun in Portadown and Mr Trimble took his case to John Major, this time in company with the other leading unionists: Mr Paisley, the Rev Martin Smyth and Robert McCartney. They asked the Prime Minister to overrule the Chief Constable and let the marchers through. Although Mr Trimble publicly referred to the meeting as constructive, in fact he got nothing. At that stage Sir Patrick believed that a negotiated deal might be possible.
But there was no deal; instead, seething trouble turned into widespread violence. Protestant protesters blocked main roads right across the province. An airport was blockaded. They torched properties, driving Catholic families from their homes in a chilling replay of 1969. They threatened to turn up in their thousands to confront the police at Portadown.
Friday would be the Twelfth, the ultimate day of Orange celebration and a public holiday in Northern Ireland. On Thursday the Chief Constable reversed his decision and allowed the march, his men roughly ejecting Catholic protesters from the path of the Orangemen.
Loyalist fury instantly became nationalist fury. Cardinal Cahal Daly, the Roman Catholic Primate, summed up the feelings: "It is intolerable to see the forces of the state capitulating to mob violence and the threat of violence." The Irish Prime Minister, John Bruton, denounced what he described as "a yielding to pressure".
There followed an explosion in Catholic Northern Ireland and places such as Londonderry and Strabane, which have seen little or no rioting in recent years, were suddenly in flames. There were petrol bombs, bricks and the occasional shooting. By last night, one man had died.
Why did Sir Hugh change his mind? In law and order terms, perhaps, the climbdown was understandable. What is unclear is why it took five days to come, five days in which the emotional and political stakes rose so high that a nationalist backlash was inevitable, five days in which what survives of the peace process was brought to the point of extinction.
Many in the province believe that this was a failure as significant as the capitulation of the Wilson government in the face of the loyalist strikes of 1974. That spelt the end of Northern Ireland's only experiment in power-sharing government and ushered in a decade of complete political stalemate. Critics of the Government draw a contrast with the events of 1985-87, when no concessions were made to Unionist outrage and protest over the Anglo-Irish Agreement.
Sir Hugh insists that he had no choice and that he acted to save lives. Sir Patrick remains adamant that the decisions were not his, that he was kept closely informed but did not intervene and order Sir Hugh to change his mind. Those close to the Northern Ireland Secretary say he took a legalistic view at every stage, arguing that if he became involved it would set a dangerous precedent.
Mitchell McLaughlin of Sinn Fein says that what took place last week "was virtually a political coup d'etat by the Unionist party, using the muscle of the Orange Order. This was organised and planned by the Unionists. We must ask was there a revolt within the RUC? The Orange Order could set up checkpoints, close roads and close airports while the RUC simply stood by. I believe the coup extended into the ranks of the RUC and that was what precipitated Annesley's collapse."
AT THE very centre of these events was David Trimble, clad in his Orange sash, running hither and thither in the sunshine. He naturally denied that this had been a peace-wrecking exercise. "There was a general mood in the unionist community that was fed up with continuing concessions made to Sinn Fein-IRA despite the breakdown of the ceasefire. If the Orange Order had caved in there would not have been peace. We would have been in far worse problems. The Orange Order ... provided stability and discipline."
Mr Trimble has shored up hardline support and averted the eternal Unionist nightmare of being "out-oranged" by those, such as Ian Paisley, who present themselves as more loyalist. He may also have done something to secure his personal position, which after an unsteady first year as leader was anything but safe.
His election last September - pointedly after marching with the Orange Order in Portadown in July 1995 - reflected a rightward drift within the Ulster Unionist Party. To many of those backers he has failed to deliver. As a result, Mr Trimble has found himself exposed at several key points in the peace process, with Mr Paisley ever willing to paint the Ulster Unionists as the party of the sell-out.
His one big move in the past year backfired. It was Mr Trimble who demanded elections in Northern Ireland before all-party talks could begin, but when Mr Major agreed, he did not accept Mr Trimble's preferred electoral system. As a result - or at least partly so, it was Sinn Fein and the Paisley party that came out of the ballot best.
Worse, in Westminster terms at least, was a crucial loss of influence with the Conservatives. When John Major survived the Scott report vote earlier this year in the Commons, it was not the Ulster Unionists who saved him - they split - but Mr Paisley's DUP.
Before last week, Unionist disaffection was growing - and the parliamentary party was never exactly a hotbed of loyalty. According to two reliable sources, none of the party's MPs voted for Mr Trimble in last year's leadership contest, which was decided by an electoral college. And at least three of them see themselves as potential leaders: John Taylor, Ken Maginnis and Willie Ross. With talk of a possible challenge to Mr Trimble in the air, a demonstration of toughness was in order. As one observer put it after the Portadown climbdown last week: "Trimble needed something like this."
Paul Bew, Professor of Irish Politics at Queen's University, Belfast, agrees that Mr Trimble has strengthened his position with the loyalist grass roots. But he prefers to look more positively on the outcome. "He now has more capacity to sell a settlement than he had before. That is where Drumcree leaves him. It is one of the few slender shafts of light coming out of this situation."
The resurgence of Orangeism, too, should not be exaggerated, he says. "Orangeism has lost its hegemony in society. It is a force of resistance rather than a force of domination. It is reasserting its strength but its role is strictly limited."
ON THE other side of the divide, Sinn Fein strategists believe they face an utterly changed situation. For Gerry Adams, this has been a humiliation almost as great as the Docklands and Manchester bombings. When he and his cohorts toured the nationalist areas of Belfast appealing for calm and restraint, they were received with jeers in their own heartland. There were even calls for the IRA to "go back to work".
A senior aide to Mr Adams admitted: "All of this makes it more difficult for us. But what do we do? Give up and walk away? Or try harder? We have to try harder. Annesley and Mayhew can go back to England. We have to go back to the Falls."
Other observers say that a breakdown of law and order triggered by the loyalists presents the IRA with the best propaganda opportunity they could wish for to resume "the armed struggle". "From the Provo hawk point of view, these are the best possible conditions for a return to the conflict," said one source.
John Hume, the SDLP leader, is also on the defensive, faced by a surge of sectarianism in both communities. As one nationalist put it: "Trimble and his people have been the best possible recruiting sergeants for the Sinn-ers." Dublin is angry, and at Westminster the Labour Party is critical of the handling of the march, departing from its bi-partisan support of government policy on Northern Ireland.
The prospects for the peace process - talks reconvene on Tuesday at Stormont - look bleak. The Unionists, who boycotted the peace process during the Portadown stand-off last week, can be expected to attend and the SDLP has been careful not to threaten withdrawal.
Preliminary negotiations are due to resume on Tuesday but will adjourn at the end of the week until September. "It is crucial that these talks restart," says Professor Bew, "and that the Unionists strike a conciliatory note. The political classes have got to pull us back from the brink. It is going to be very hard, but what is the alternative? Everyone knows what the broad outlines of the only possible compromise are. We must move towards that."
But even before last week there was widespread scepticism about the usefulness of talks without Sinn Fein. Now things are far worse, and at the very best a long haul lies ahead. As one senior MP said, when asked about the talks: "If they were going at snail's pace before this, they'll be going slower now."
LAST WEEK was the week when old habits and hard grudges had their say. When Bill Clinton visited Northern Ireland and the crowds turned out to cheer, the world was left with an impression of a mass of people hungry for peace but frustrated by stubborn, short-sighted leaders. Now there is mayhem on the streets and the political leaders - even Mr Trimble and Mr Adams - are aghast at the strength of popular feeling. This weekend the population is as polarised as it ever was. The American reporter in Belfast seemed to sum it up when he said wearily that this was "the old story".
