Interesting diver area. Staff wasn't the friendliest and it wasn't as clean as others in the area. Our first stay before this they screwed up the reservations and one couple had to be sent to a hotel 5 mi. down the road.
The bed comfortable and the shower was not weak. We were assigned to a room with a connecting door to another room. When my wife, who had once had someone from a neighboring room walk in on her, asked for another room, she was made to feel as if the request was silly. She piled our suitcases against the adjoining door and didn't sleep much that night.
near the airport, but not too noisy parking
efficency;clean i didnt get family room as reseved but two seperate room.
The rooms with kitchen is not equipped with dishes. WI FI connection is very expensive.
good location, convenient to airport. Excellent bathroom facilities. A room for 4 actually meant one regular bed, and an uncomfortable sofabed, but on the plus side it was a 2 room suite.
Good sized room and quite. Had to pay for the transfer from airport to hotel even though it was advertised as an airport hotel.
Very comfortable room, excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Room was spotless. It was hard to find. I stopped at a gas station about 5 km away and they had no idea were the town of Aufkirchen was. Finally found a local who gave precise directions. Other than that it was an excellent hotel.
quiet very good breakfast did not know that there was a shuttle service from the airport when I arrived
excellent breakfast very quiet when I call hotel from airport - they did not tell that ther was a shuttle from airport to hotel the taxidriver from airport did not find the hotel - he had to call several times his collegues asking where to drive
Convenient location and helpful and friendly staff Expensive
Expensive parking (21 eu p day), close to airport but not AT airport. Need to take bus to get there.
I think that this hotel should have shuttle to the airport. Breakfast is good but very expensive.
So clean, modern and welcoming all around. Parking is insanely expensive and breakfast at 21 euro per person does seem over the top. On the plus side, the breakfast was good.
Very good location if you have a very early flight out of Munich. The bus stop was less than 100 meters from the exit and the total bus ride was about 5 minutes to terminal 1. A shuttle would be nice, but the bus comes every 20 minutes. The non smoking room was clean and was more spacious than expected. While this is probably a no-brainer for the seasoned traveler, the 25 euro buffet for dinner was unsatisfactory. In hind-sight we should have ordered room service with the fee, it would have been cheaper and possibly more palatable.
How easy it was to get there and to public transportation. The rooms were really clean. Breakfast was great and the staff was friendly. There was no small store nearby to by things we forgot (baby items, soap etc)
quite They don't have free shuttle bus from airport.
The staff at the front desk and the cleanliness of the room. Bathrooms were well equipped Staff at the bar wasn't too nice and seemed a little overwhelmed with not that many customers
Price for parking is very expensive. Internet connection is very low and poor.
Proximity to airport, modern, clean, typical Novotel business hotel It's not quite at the airport, no shuttle. You have to take a city bus from the airport to get there and it takes you 15 mins - inconvenient. The internet wasn't working well or at all, which, for a business hotel, is not acceptable.
Proximity to Airport Accomodations Friendly Staff
Location Location Location cost of parking
Great location, minutes from the airport. Departure screens in the lobby keep you updated on flights and gates. Love that breakfast starts as early as 4 am for those early fliers and they put out free evening food when you get in late. Lots of families and seniors there when I came through as it is very good value for the money and extremely convenient. Clean and modern rooms; everything you need. Did not like that the wifi did not work in my room during my stay ... had to do calls and mail from the lobby. Problem with their authentication local staff could not fix.
The hotel can supply it's customer with no charge parking
Nice food. Suggest to increase the Chinese food. The wireless is popular right now. I have travelled in many country with free charge of the internet in hotel. Please consider about this.
We only stayed one night arrived late and the barman stayed late to serve us drinks, the room was first class and incrdibily clean. no
Simple. Clean. Comfortable. I would have loved to see free access to internet (there is by charge access available but still...)
Good continental breakfast. Very convenient to the airport. Single rooms are very small.
It was clean
Bfrekfast at 4 am. is really nice idea. There was some problem with my reservation from booking, but finally hotel was quiet empty so I got room.
Too expensive for what you are getting. Also they charge you for airport shuttles...
Staff exceeded expectations.
No restaurant inside the hotel.
Nothing, thankfully it was an over night stay and an early flight out in the morning. The 18 Euros breakfast as advertised on the web site included an abundance of house flies in the dining area!!
Overall a great place to stay the night prior to leaving for home. Clean, staff was great. Limited. Had to park in street.
Location near the airport is excellent, clean room, very nice staff and organised well The cost of breakfast was high - 21 Euros for some cereal!! also the shuttle to the airport - 8 Euros - cheaper to take a taxi
Thourghly enjoyable stay. Dining was superb and staff only too happy to help. Would definitely stay with this company and in this hotel again
The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooms clean and modern. The facilites were conventient for the Munich airport. No issues--all was fine.
nice hotel , with nice reciption non
Your staff was very helpful. The reception desk helped a great deal and should be commended.
Very much a big problem this smoking . I was in a hall before the manager with the child. All smoked in a hall. And it not probably to accept. Therefore we have changed hotel. It is necessary to forbid smoking in hotel. For smoking there should be special places
Location Exagerated rate which did not equal to the offered service
Relative cheap price; early bird breakfast; nice room The noice from the corridores came in to the room.
Proximity to the airport, shuttle bus service although considered a bit expensive and very pleasant and attentive front desk staff Nothing disliked thank you for a pleasent stay on 2 occasions.
Liked easy access from airport. We stayed at this hotel during an overnight layover......was perfect. Liked having food and beverage available as we arrived late. Friendly staff.
Spacious suite, very accommodating staff, comparable to Aloft or Element-type hotels in US No restaurant, only self-service "grab-n-go" food
We left the car at Vogel Parking garage Munchen Airport and spent last night before the flight at Moxy. Hotel is directly connected to a parking garage therefore we left our luggage in a car, pick it up in the morning and use a (free of charge) shuttle bus to Airport. Hotel staff was very kind, room was peaceful and they have everything what you need if you are hungry or thirsty. Shuttle bus should be included in a price
Unfortunately we stayed only one night, but enjoyed very much the hours we spent there, most important for us was the easy and very short time to get to the airport. I would'nt change anything.
Rooms and restaurant Choise in minibar is too small
we only stayed one night but we enjoyed our room very much. it was very clean and comfortable. we have tea and coffe in the room. we ate at the restorant and the food was very tasty.
Nice clean hotel with excellent cuisine Sound isolation of the room
Excellent value for a hotel in this area. Highly recommend for anyone. The hotel is very convenient to the Munich Airport. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bathrooms were warm and have all of the extras. The kitchen is excellent, serving a number of local German dishes at very reasonable prices. Breakfast was fresh, great choices and plentiful. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating The hotel airport shuttle costs EU 8 for each way.
very clean very comfortable well appointed room interesting design (central glass lift) location was too isolated, no shops for a long distance by foot staff did not speak English well enough, I needed to find shops but the girl did not explain it to me precisely (did not know 'left' from 'right') and I got lost Shuttle bus should be included in the price and it was not easy to find it at the airport, there was no signpost at the bus complex Hotel should offer all-inclusive deal at a good price, it does not Breakfast did not have any hot food, only cold meats, cheese, eggs, cereals, etc, compared to same hotel in Zurich airport the breakfast was not as good Hotel should offer a small kiosk with basic provisions plus telephone vouchers for making fixed line calls and a normal fixed line instead of the expensive phone you have there - it is a waste of time and money. Instead I will just use my cell phone. I prefer Zurich Aìrport Movenpick where I get a fixed line normal phone in the lobby.
Easy access from/to Airport,large rooms,clean bathroom. We had a room that smelling terrible from the previous smoking guest. We had to open the door for 2 hours with outside temperature in 6oC.
Rooms tastefully decorated and all amenities extremely helpful. We had previously stayed at the Munich Vier Jahreszeiten, which was excellent, but for small pleasant details, the Moevenpick was more imaginative. Breakfast was outstanding--a gourmet delight. We liked everything.
very nice rooms and quite large as well. excellent restaurant, good food and service. I think when you are located far from the airport the transportation to and from the airport should be provided for free in principle. WiFi signal is not that strong in all rooms.
Very convenient to airport, quiet, comfortable bed.
The pay per view films were not working.
I had a long layover in Munich and need a place to rest overnight. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the airport was most convienent.
Very nice hotel, recently refurbished and in a 'scenic' location on a typical Bavarian market square. Very friendly staff, spacious rooms and an excellent restaurant serving excellent local fare. Minibar stocks only water (still / sparkling) and beer (including non- alcoholic). There are no sweets or snacks. There could also be a bit more kit in the wardrobe (such as shoe horn or clothbrush).
friendliness of staff and warm atmosphere
The room was very comfortable and very clean with all necessary things. The restaurant of the hotel was perfect with delicious bavarian kitchen and good prices.very close to the airport (15 min.). The breakfast was good with the possibility to order fresh and warm omelets or fried eggs.very recomandet hotel. It was far away from the town 45 min.) but close to the airport.
The people were great and the room was large, new, and comfortable.
Stay was wonderful Had a little trouble locating the hotel..asked 3 locals for directions and all were poor.
Quality hotel with German style - which is just what we wanted. The food in the restaurant was very good too.
The location in a small town center and the fact of being an old brewery can't think of anything
We only spent one night in our 3 single rooms before our return to the US. The hotel is conveninet to the Munich airport, in the small, quaint town of Erding. It is adjacent to the Erlanger Brewery headquarters, and houses the brewery's restaurant - although the brewery itself is a few kms away. The rooms are totally modern, but still quaint and inviting. The restaurant had great food, great beers (of course), and the prices were reasonable. Breakfast was also very good including eggs to order, smoked salmon, etc, - and worth the 12 euro they charge for it. The only negative was the lighting. Nothing goes on until you insert your electronic key in the master switch. Although the arrangement saves electricity, as the lights go off after the key is removed, our rooms were too dark for reading unless you were in the bathroom.
The location was perfect for us. Only 40 min. to the city via the s-bhan, yet only 15 min to the air port. Our only problem wit the hotel was that they allowed smoking in the lounge. We were not comfortable with that. So we were forced to sit in the reception area to have a drink. The staff was accomidating, but I was still surprised at the scoff of the new smoking ban. To be fair it was not only the hotel. We found other place that were also breaking this new smoking ban.
Excellent service and excellent room confort Nothing
roomes very spacious clean and well equiped cant think of anything to dislike at this hotel
Friendliness of staff, location near airport Charge for Internet
Big room, good service, free airport shuttle, free wireless internet Wireless internet connection was slow and sometimes didn't connect at all
Good room, good breakfast, good staff
The close access to the Munich Airport. The personell was friendly and approachable. The shuttle bus operation wasn`t really precise.
Very nice hotel, large room, good breakfast. Convenient for the Therme
The room was very nicely appointed and large for this price catagory. The city theme in all the rooms is a nice plus. Although the wireless LAN could be detected, I could not gain access even though at my next location my wireless connection worked perfectly. The signal strength was only fair (2 bars from 5) in my room. This is a serious fault for a hotel catering to business people. Please fix it! I highly recommend this Hotel provided they do something about this.
Allmost every thing No
Lovely hotel, great breakfast, clean room and bathroom. The patio is a great place to eat and relax.
Henry hotel is a good solid hotel in Erding. It is 5 minutes walk from the town center, and a 10-15 minutes drive from the airport, so it is great for a first or last night in Germany when flying from Munich. It was next to a fairly busy road. Internet costs 5 euro, while in all other hotels in Germany / Austria on this trip it was free.
Well appointed large rooms, fast, free wi-fi, in-room safe, mini bar and flat screen TV. (Smoking and non-smoking rooms available) Good location five minutes walk from town centre and one minute walk to railway station but still very quiet. Plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. About 15 minutes drive to the airport which could be a drawback for some but fine if you have transport. In-hotel restaurant open in the evening from 6.30pm ~ also hotel bar. Varied choices for breakfast both hot and cold items. All-in-all a great choice.
Hotel was clean and tidy and rooms comfortable and we would recommend to others. Some of the staff require customer focus training but this is not a complaint just an observation as we will be coming back on a regular basis.
the rooms are a little bit smaler for 4 stars
friendly staff on arival, good central location, staff recomended and booked local resturant upon our information, which was fantastic
While Erding the city is on the outskirts of Munich, you can stay here and take the train into the city. I stayed here because I wanted a relax atmosphere away from the city. While it is near the airport, the hotel shuttle does not run on Sat and Sun. You can take a bus for 5 euros one way and takes about 20-30 minutes. There is a huge spa called Therme Erding in the city. You can take a 10 minute bus ride there as well.
The staff is absolutely lovely; exteremyl friendly, which made my stay very special The rooms are very clean; the style is a bit old-fashioned
Erding is a great little town with a well known brewery. The brauhaus has great traditional german food. Almost everything in town is an easy walk from the hotel. Hotel is also 10 KM from Munich Airport, so we stay there when flying from Munich. A little on the expensive side and has no parking. You have to park at the train station parking lot down the street a short distance.
The hotel was nice and clean. the staff very polite and attentive. Erding is a small town very charming. Everything was OK"
Friendly staff
Very clean. Helpful and friendly atmosphere. Probably the cleanest and best place we stayed during our 2 week stay. A lovely restaurant with excellent food.They even serve eggs for breakfast for those Americans who need their egg fix. This hotel was the best value we found in Germany and is only 10 minutes from the airport.I would recommend it to anyone !
Price, friendliness, food, service. the shower drains
Staff in reception are willing to help and generally kind to all visitors. One thing surprised me is that staff can remember my last name after I checked in and showed up few hours later. Not everybody can speak English is a little bit inconvenience, that's all
Staffs are very friendly and very helpful...I got very nice answer when I asked where can I have a morning running..and flights information The hotel looks like a 3 star hotel located in a small town, the photos online seems more beautiful than real
The design of rooms was very homely it didn't have basic item, a hot-water kettle!!! and few kitchen items!
Courtesy of desk clerks, dinner in restaurant, simple but good room
I was impressed by their service... picked up at the airport after arriving by train from Italy. Staff was wonderful, room comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was great, dining room charming and I was shuttled back to the airport on time. It was a long evening for me since there were no channels on the tv in English.
Good service It's not a typical 4 stars hotel and far away from the airport. They charge eur 12 for return shuttle car. I may stay in any 4 star hotel near Munich main train station next time.
Early breakfast and transport to airport
The bed and pillows Long wait for service for dinner, even by European standards, the head waiter was apologetic and I had not even made a complaint, breakfast too expensive
Comfortable, clean and access to the international air port.
good hotel
It was close to the train station, Friesling's city center, free breakfast was good, decor was nice and the beds and room were very comfortable.The staff at the desk were very nice and helpful. There was a shuttle for a reasonable price to the airport which is what we needed. They did not clean out the garbages and ash trays outside of the elevators so it stunk when you got off the elevator, the hotel had a pool party the first day so you couldn't swim that day and they were very unfriendly. They promised food and there was none to be seen.
It's location. It is a few miles from the airport, but easily accessible bu bus and much closer than Munich. It is in the charming small town of Freising.
Great staff and very comfortable. Nice little town with a good train service to Munich. It's not that close to the airport - around 15 mins drive, although there is a bus service.
Great Marriott facility, convenient to Muenchen airport.
Emergency response by staff during a citywide power blackout.
Very overpriced relative to other local hotels. It's not really near the airport (20 min drive) so expect a 25 Euro cab fare. My room was clean visually but had a strong mildew smell. I didn't eat at the restaurant or have breakfast so I can't really comment on the food, but for $200 bucks you're much better off staying either in downtown Munich or closer to the airport, depending on your needs.
wellness facilities are great
the hotel is good for familly
Compact but very good room planning
The Reception and Restaurant staff were very obliging and helpful with a pleasing personality.
Very nice staff. Easy access to hotels, train, and the airport.
not liked at all. I sent a complaint email to the hotel, they sent a rude reply letter. This is so unhappy to see a service-sector company at 2010, they are running the hotel with an ancient mentaility and not customer oriented.
It is classified as an airport hotel, and Booking.com labels it as 6.3km away from the airport, in fact it is more than 10km away; also, the offer called "Park, Sleep & Fly Offer - Double Room" included an airport transfert for one person only and a charge of €18 for the other person, which is exactly the price for a taxi ride, so we eventually paid for the transfer of both of us, which can't be considered fair practice!
Breakfast was delicious and versatile. Service Personnel at breakfast very professional as actually most of the stuff too. Very harmony like business hotel.
the service was great and the care for detail was really noticeable, hence the feng shui name.
Staff very very nice. They helped me for everything I needed. the position of the hotel very near to the center, station, restaurants. the possibility to have breackfast 24 hours per day no babybed avalaible. One 4 stars hotel without bar/eating isn't possible (bar service only in sommer or better....by summer wethear!!! )
Staff was very friendly, room was clean and comfortable Room became very hot in the middle of the night, but nothing that couldn't be fixed by opening the window.
Hotel decor was attractive. Bed was covered with a duvet intsead of a bed spread, making it easier to provide a clean bed for each new guest. Breakfast buffet included a variety of fresh foods and hot entres and the coffee was freshly brewed. Two minor things. There was no coffee pot or hot water pot in the room, and only one English language TV channel. I was there in June and the weather was cool, but in late summer, the lack of AC might be a factor to consider before booking.
The staff was excellent, accommodating and very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is also excellent - it is an easy walk to the university, to the downtown area with bakeries and restaurants, and also to some of the sights of Freising. the room didn't have air conditioning and it was quite stuffy on several warm days, but was relatively easy to cool off at night with the open window and the fan. As a business traveler, I also prefer staying in a hotel with a gym, but I didn't look for/check on this before hand, so this was my own problem. That said, there are some nearby trails where you can go walk/exercise, which is probably even nicer than a gym, anyway.
Staff very accommodating. I asked for a taxi in the morning and got a free lift to Eichenried golf course instead The room floor was dirty and the carpet discoloured and old. The hairdryer did not work. Otherwise basic, but value for money!
Food, staff frendliness, wirelsss connection dificulties, no TV on English
country feel very much soo
Nice and clean, quaint town....altho hotel was 17 km from airport, owner drives shuttle to airport for a fee, very friendly.
Wrap-around shower curtain; breakfast selection; attendant stayed up to meet us despite our being late. Street noise.
Rooms are very clean and comfortable I arrived to the hotel around 10.00 pm, I asked something to eat, but they said kitchen is closed. I asked some bread to eat. They gave me 3 slice and charged to me. :) exciting..
This village hotel is a family-run business. Pleasing their clients is a priority. It's close proximity to Erding enables one to visit the fabulous local thermal baths or to conveniently catch a train for Munich. If you enjoy mingling with the local Bavarian crowd, you'll enjoy this hotel. Being located on the main thoroughfare was the only downside. My recommendation it to request a room facing the backyard.
Friendly and helpfull stuf, beer served after midnight, welcomed even when we arrived after midnight Internet access only in restaurant, not in the room
Decent breakfast, they were on holiday so the bar and restaurant were closed on busy street
is location they take more mony for exstra bad
Clean, modern and close to airport. Excellent breakfast and staff.
The facilities were very good and the staff were very helpful. Thank you for a happy visit.
Very clean, efficient, pleasant staff, good breakfast, good location to Munich Missing soup (shampoo) holder(s) in the shower
Close to the city of Erding (walking distance), which is a charming place with lots of restaurants and shops. Efficient staff, clean, comfortable rooms. Wired internet free of charge (they provide the cable!). Nice breakfast buffet. Only one--the "shuttle" to/from the airport turned out to be a very expensive (25 Euro each way!) taxi ride, or a bus (which is impractical with luggage). In effect, the hotel rate increased by 50 Euro.
No bar facilities
Hotel Linner was a great location to the Munich airport. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The breakfast was great!
A wonderful small new hotel located just a short drive from MUC, Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport. Having made an early reservation for the last night of our three-week European trip, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful bathroom design, modern and functional furniture, and by the hotel's walking proximity to the historical center of Erding. Our one night stay ended with a very nice buffet-style breakfast. This hotel does not have a restaurant but there are several excellent dining choices within a five-minute walking distance. We had one of our best Indian food dinners at the nearby Shiraz restaurant. (The original owner was an Iranian, hence the name.)
Located 15 mins. by taxi from Munich, Germany airport. Very new, super clean, friendly and helpful reception. Situated in Erding, a charming, quaint and elegant town, with good dining choices a modest walk from the hotel. Bedding was luxurious and comfortable. Hotel has a lift and the breakfast was extensive and delicious. Very little noise from the traffic on surrounding streets.
Good location. Next to bus stop from MUC airport. Close to city centre of Erding. Everything was clean and neat. Good breakfast buffé.
Stayed in new hotel on opening day - staff on duty very helpful. Downtown Erding is very charming making a stay in Erding a better experience than at a hotel located directly at airport prior to next day connection. Liked that there is a refrigerator and tea making faclities on the floor for use by guests. The water from shower flows out of shower area into rest of bathroom. Does not seem to be a way to prevent this.
Clean, well laid out rooms, with comfortable beds. Good buffet breakfast. Our rooms were very hot, and there was no air conditioning. Fans were provided, but as my mother's single room had no window (she only had a skylight), she was unable to cool off her room, unlike my husband and I, who were able to open our window.
I did not receive my wake up call and I was dropped off at the wrong terminal at the airport
The rooms were very small but were clean. There was a restaurant. I did not like that it was falsely advertised as an airport hotel. It is no where near the airport. In fact it is 30 euros away by taxi. There was an advertised shuttle but it is 14 euros per person and has to be ordered 24 hours in advance. The hotel is no where near anything so I was sincerely disappointed in this selection.
great hotel for using the airport.shuttle and parking included expensive breakfast
airport access was quite reasonable
Good communication with Minich Airport.
cleanliness Did not like the location. website indicated the location was in town. Too far to walk.
The restaurant was excellent value It was a bit remote
It is located neir the Therme Erding, excelent apportunity of relaxing and enjoying the water games. Unavailability of transportation between Therme and the hotel.
breakfast buffet excellent check in system resulted in being given a room already occupied!!!
Great location for visits to the spa at Erding. The hotel provides a free convenient shuttle service. Excellent breakfast buffet with delicious homemade Birchermüsli and homemade cakes. The hotel restaurant offers very good food.
Facilities were contemporary and room very clean. Room was like a shoebox and really just too small. I did not pay for the cheapest single room but the superior - the difference I was told was only in the size of the bed. Also, I arrived by train only to find that "taxis are scarce" (words of hotel staff) and hence in driving rain had to find my way by foot from the station. I was soaked!
Boutique type of hotel close to centre of Erding.Very friendly staff.Clean modern room.Easy to park outside and hi speed wired internet in room I found the bed a bit hard but thats just a personal point....others would probably like it that way.
Good hotel with interesting design in the rooms. Breakfast was very good. The location is very convenient if you need to stay close to Munich airport.
very clean and convenient hotel especially to the airport
Very, very nice! All was good!

Safety warning for international students
Tasmanian police are reminding international students about safety ahead of today's start of the university year.
It is almost four years since Chinese student Zhang Yu, known as Tina, was murdered.
It was a time when multiple racist attacks rocked the University of Tasmania.
The university, police and the Hobart City Council have joined forces to improve the safety of more than 5,000 international students.
Inspector Glen Woolley says increased CCTV cameras and better street lighting have helped over the past year.
"There's only been 20 international students who've been involved in some sort of incident around the Hobart area."
But he says students must remain vigilant.
"The main thing is to get them to use their intuition, having a gut feeling about knowing what's safe and what's not safe," he said.
"When they have a feeling about being not safe, do something about it straight away, to make sure they call friends, call police, or leave the area."
International students are being urged to walk in pairs and avoid walking alone in dark areas.
Graduate Jason Zu was assaulted in Hobart last year.
He says there is still work to be done, including improved bus services and an on-campus interpreter.
"I really hope we can see more support from the local community".
It is a critical issue for the university which is aiming to double its international intake.
Several international student societies took part in a forum in Hobart yesterday.
The Migrant Resource Centre's Archana Aril says there are many important issues to tackle.
"Often a lot of them feel isolated. They do hang out in cliques with their own communities," she said.
"Our intention is to get them to reduce their feeling of isolation and really participate in events and other activities. It's creating the bridge or links with other agencies, as well as the community."

SARASOTA - The foiled attack at UCF is once again highlighting the need for student safety. Here on the Suncoast, local colleges aren't taking any chances and the students themselves are at the root of that prevention.
"Every time you hear about something like this you can't help but worry about could this happen here, " said Mcalister Grant a 1st year student at New College of Florida. He's talking about the plans a University of Central Florida student had to wage a mass attack at the school.
"When you think about the fact that it has happened especially so close to home it makes it more real. And because were such a small school that possibility is even scarier because if it were to happen it's a virtual guaranty that it would be someone you know, " said Grant.
Despite his slight fears, Grant says the possibility of someone implementing a mass attack at his school is very small. "I think its something that people are really sensitive about here and there's more of an ongoing dialogue about it, so I think people are really less likely to let something building up inside of them and let it explode all at once," added Grant.
Other students we spoke to also agree.
"The first signs you see, you usually tell a resident assistant the people in charge at the dorms. And, if those complaints go unresolved then it goes up the chain of command," said Tim Duff a 3rd year student at the school.
And for the students at New College, that's just the beginning. "We have a club called Active Minds that promotes mental health awareness, and the Wellness Center where students actually go to get help," added Duff.
But New College officials didn't stop there they've taken their prevention plan one step further.
"We have a behavior intervention team, which is a team of individuals across our campus community who meet to discuss threat assessments, and we have a threat assessment protocol," said Anne Fisher Program Director at the Counseling & Wellness Center at the school.
Fisher says that provides students and faculty step by step guidelines for what to look for and how to respond and where to take the information.
"So if someone is behaving in an odd or eccentric way the campus has ways to gather that information, assess it, come up with a plan, and then try to monitor what goes on so we can be helpful," added Fisher.
Officials say they can't predict when violence will occur but they hope their efforts will prevent a similar situation from happening here.

Government Shutdown: Who Do You Blame? [POLL/AUDIO]
As the government shutdown continues, who is really to blame? It depends on who you ask.
"How you react to the government shutdown in Washington depends on your partisanship – so republicans are going to blame democrats, democrats are blaming republicans, and those who are not strong partisans blame all the politicians,' said Peter Woolley, a political science professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
He said the shutdown is provoking politicians who are running for office to emphasize bipartisanship.
"If you observe Newark Mayor Cory Booker's campaign, who's running for U.S. Senate, he's emphasizing his ability to compromise and work with leaders of the other party – specifically Chris Christie. And if you listen to Chris Christie, you'll hear him mention that he's willing to work with people in the other party," said Woolley.
What does it mean for those who are already disgusted by politics? "People who are already turned off by politics will just find this episode reinforces their view, that politicians are worthless and that politics isn't work paying attention to," said Woolley.
He said people who are directly affected by the shutdown care what's going on, but others, who won't feel the effects for weeks or months aren't too concerned right now.
"The federal government does touch many people's lives," he said, "either directly, through the state or even the counties, so it won't be very long before more and more people start to notice that."

Google Inc (Mountain View CA) and four bank and telecommunications partners on Thursday unveiled "Google Wallet," taking U.S. shoppers a step closer to paying by waving their mobile phones at the checkout counter.
The Internet search company's system that lets people pay with phones instead of cards, hoping to win a race against major rivals including Visa, top U.S. banks and mobile network operators.
Google, Mastercard (Purchase, N.Y.), Citigroup (New York, N.Y.), First Data (Atlanta, Ga.) and Sprint (Overland Park, Kansas) will make the service available this summer to people in New York and San Francisco, Google and its partners said on Thursday. Sprint is the first carrier to launch the Google Wallet, and will deploy the service first on the Nexus S 4G smartphone.
According to its press release, VeriFone is also partnering with Google by providing "merchants with flexibility and easy migration to Google Wallet and the ability to leverage NFC to increase sales and customer loyalty through multi-application, interactive systems."
Designed to work as an app on Android phones, Google Wallet uses MasterCard's "PayPass" technology, which lets shoppers tap cards for payment. Google has signed up retailers including Macy's Inc, American Eagle Outfitters Inc and Subway to blend the service with loyalty programs and discount offers.
Shoppers abroad, especially in Asia, can pay for things by waving their phones at check-out. In the United States, mobile wallets still face hurdles, but since last year, some large companies have raced to make the technology a reality.
Citigroup Mastercard holders with PayPass-enabled cards will get first crack at Google's service. The Internet giant also plans to sell a virtual prepaid card.
Visa Inc has tested a pay-by-phone system with several large banks, including Bank of America Corp and Wells Fargo & Co. The world's largest credit and debit card processing network has said it plans to make its mobile payments system commercially available this year.

You can create special memories with your family by doing fun, holiday things with them -- baking, making ornaments, decorating, seeing the festive seasonal sights, giving to the Food Bank or Toys for Tots. You can help your children make presents for those on their list; books and the Internet are full of ideas.
Be sure to spend at least one evening sitting by the fire with holiday music on. Play a game or look at old photographs. You could begin a family journal, everyone adding to it with a favorite memory from the year or a Christmas wish. This can also be a time to reflect on how you celebrate the season and why.
Another fun idea is to choose one night to dine by tree-light, turning out all the other lights and eating by the Christmas tree, picnic-style. You can talk to your children about what the holidays were like when you were youngsters.
Some families have film favorites to enjoy, such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Miracle on 34th Street" or "A Christmas Story." For the Christmas meal, even the youngest can help line the breadbasket with a napkin or set the table, joining in the excitement of preparing the special feast.
Psychologist Clay Routledge noted in Psychology Today that cherished memories promote psychological health and well-being. Across several studies, he and his colleagues observed that the more nostalgic people were about the past, the more they perceived their lives as meaningful and tended to be psychologically healthy, energetic and optimistic.
Without delving into our psyches too deeply, let's just say that creating memories is fun! Even more than that special present, children may remember most of all the times spent celebrating the holidays with their family.

(Edited American Horse Council press release)All horses being exported from the United States to the European Union (EU) now require a negative (1:12) virus neutralization test for Vesicular Stomatitis (VS), a disease recently found to have infected horses in southwest Texas. The test samples must be taken within 10 days prior to export for temporary export horses, and within 21 days prior to export for those horses being permanently exported to the EU.Kentucky has already placed a ban on horses being imported from Texas.
In accordance with EU regulations, this test requirement will remain in place until six months after the VS outbreak. The National Center for Import and Export will provide a target date when the time comes.
EU horses currently in the U.S. and scheduled to return to the EU must be able to certify they have not been on an affected premises during their time in the United States.
Currently posted equine export certificates provide for these changes.
Some pending shipments may need to be delayed for testing. No U.S. horses can be certified for entry into the EU until test results are reported.
Vesicular Stomatitis is a viral disease characterized by fever, vesicles, and subsequent erosions in the mouth and epithelium on the teats and feet. Horses are particularly susceptible, but cattle and pigs are also susceptible; sheep and goats are rarely affected. The clinical signs of VS in cattle and pigs is virtually indistinguishable from foot and mouth disease making the disease a significant concern. Laboratory confirmation is needed when the disease appears in cattle and pigs. Humans can also be infected through contact with open blisters.
A recent case of VS was confirmed in Southwest Texas on May 19th.

PIJIP Project Files Supreme Court Amicus Brief in Sorrell v. IMS.
Prof. Sean Fiil-Flynn
E-mail email@example.com
Office (202)274-4157
Cell (202)294-5749
WASHINGTON, March 2, 2011 -- On Tuesday, American University Washington College of Law Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) Associate Director Sean Flynn and Policy Fellow Meredith Jacob filed an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in an important information privacy case. The brief was filed on behalf of AARP and the National Legislative Association on Prescription Drug Prices (NLARx). The brief argues that the Supreme Court should uphold Vermont's Prescription Confidentiality Law and overturn the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The case is Sorrell v. IMS (No. 10-779).
This case has broad ramifications for consumer protection and privacy law. "The Court should make clear that the First Amendment is not implicated when, having mandated the disclosure of medical information, the state protects that confidential information from non-consensual marketing uses," says Prof. Flynn.
Vermont's law requires prescriber consent for the sale or use of physician-identifying prescription records for marketing purposes. This data is used to build detailed profiles of physician prescribing habits and track de-identified patients over time. These profiles are then used for aggressive in-person marketing of prescription drugs to physicians, increasing prescription costs and the over-prescription of the most expensive medicines. Similar laws have been passed in New Hampshire and Maine, and have been upheld by the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
The Vermont District Court upheld the law, finding that there was a substantial state interest in protecting the data. Overturning that decision, the Second Circuit found that this protection violated the First Amendment rights of data mining companies that buy this data and sell it to pharmaceutical companies for marketing purposes. The State of Vermont's petition for certiorari was granted by the Supreme Court and oral argument is scheduled for April 16, 2011.
PIJIP's brief argues that when the state acts to protect confidential information required to fill a prescription, it does not implicate the First Amendment. Even when the law is examined under the First Amendment Commercial Speech Doctrine, there is a substantial state interest in protecting patient privacy and the doctor-patient relationship. Further, the state has an interest in limiting the undue influence exerted by pharmaceutical marketers – influence that negatively affects patient treatment and increases health care costs.
As the PIJIP brief for AARP and NLARx argues:
This Court should refuse to apply the First Amendment to Vermont's Prescription Confidentiality Law based on two essential facts. First, the regulation at issue is limited to the commercial use or private-channel distribution of confidential data. It is thus governed by cases of this Court upholding the regulation of uses of information in purely private settings that do not inform or contribute to the public sphere. Bartnicki v. Vopper, 532 U.S. 514, 526-27 n.10 (2001); Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. v. Greenmoss Builders, Inc., 472 U.S. 749 (1985). Second, it concerns the regulation of secondary uses of information where the government requires the initial disclosure. It is thus governed by cases in which this Court has affirmed a right of governments to restrict access to government held or mandated information. L.A. Police Dept. v. United Reporting Publ'g Corp., 528 U.S. 32 (1999); Seattle Times Co. v. Rhinehart, 467 U.S. 20 (1984). This Court has never held that a regulation at the intersection of these two lines of cases – where private channel exchanges and uses of private (government-mandated) records are at issue – is First Amendment protected "speech." Cf. Reno v. Condon, 528 U.S. 141 (2000). The First Circuit, in a case parallel to the one before the Court now, decided the issue correctly – the private-channel use and trade of prescription records is economic conduct, not "speech." IMS Health, Inc. v. Ayotte, 550 F.3d 42 (1st Cir. 2008), cert. denied, 129 S. Ct. 2864 (2009).
If this law were evaluated as regulating First Amendment protected speech, such speech should be given protection commensurate with its "nugatory informational value." Ayotte, 550 F.3d at 52. In contrast, this Court should recognize the overriding interests of Vermont and other states in regulating the confidentiality of prescription records. The Vermont law directly advances its interest in protecting against disclosure of records containing the most personal of information as well as its interest in protecting individual autonomy in decision making on important personal matters. NASA v. Nelson, 562 U.S. __ (2011); Whalen v. Roe, 429 U.S. 589 (1977). Protecting the confidentiality of records advances important goals of our health system, including combating undue influence of in person pharmaceutical marketing that raises costs and damages public health interests. See Ohralik v. Ohio Bar Ass'n, 436 U.S. 447 (1978).

In addition to these formal meetings, the Alliance Implementation Team members from both groups maintained regular contact throughout the reporting period to monitor the Alliances progress and results.
III. Results
OSHA continues to serve on the editorial board of the JCR publication, Environment of Care® News, and works jointly with TJC/JCR on developing an OSHA & Worker Safety standing column for the newsletter. The articles developed during this reporting period are linked to both the TJC/JCR Alliance Web page and the OSHA Web pages.
In addition, TJC/JCR developed an Alliance-related Web page. The page provides information on the OSHA and TJC/JCR Alliance, the Alliance agreement, and related documents linked from the OSHA and TJC/JCR Alliance Web page on the Agency Web site.
Finally, TJC/JCR is sharing their expertise with OSHA by providing access to the TJC Standards for Hospitals, Laboratory Ambulatory, Behavioral, Long-term and Home Care. These standards allow OSHA to compare aspects that are key elements of effective infection prevention programs to various governmental and private institutions. They also allow comparisons to infection prevention and control standards from the different types of healthcare institutions

How good at recycling are you;
do you have a long list of ways to upcycle at home?
If you are anything like me, you give it a good go.
I separate out my recycling from my rubbish, I recycle plastic, try to reuse metal and I'm always donating bags of clothes and toys to charity.
But how about recycling at home?
I've recently found some amazing ways to upcycle at home, and here are my favorites…
1. Toilet Storage
Okay, so that sounds a little strange, but the idea is the same!
Find a box that's roughly the same height as a toilet roll.
Next, collect up some empty toilet rolls.
I've found the average box will hold about 12 toilet rolls, arranged in a simple 6 x 3 grid.
Now you can use them for storage!
I started folding up cables and cords into mine, but you can use them for almost anything.
I've made a very cool ribbon storage system for crafting, too!
This is one of my favorite ways to upcycle at home.

On my way to work I got stopped at a railroad crossing. This is the recording I took of the train going by. It is quite intense. If you listen to the whole thing you will hear a lot of metal scraping and screeching sounds. I thought the train was going to derail. Recorded in Rockford, Illinois with an H2 Zoom.
That screeching sound is called guaging, you mostly hear it a lot on curves or in places where the track is uneven; it happens as the wheels search for the rails and the flanges rub against the inside edges.
Thanks a bunch! This was a wonderful recording!
Thanks a bunch! Sounds great.

The main part of the Gordon College trip to Nicaragua is spent at CICRIN, a children's center on the island of Ometepe, in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. The center is run by Hellen Elizondo, who moved from Costa Rica to Nicaragua to live out her passion for helping the Nicaraguan children.
In previous years, students have participated in various different work projects, from helping to build stairs down to the lake and constructing foundations for new offices, to installing drainage systems for the wet season, painting buildings, and helping out anywhere else they were needed. Most afternoons and nights are spent resting and spending time (and attempting Spanish conversations) with the children. On a few occasions students are able to go into the community, do activities with the kids, and work with the local church.
One evening is dedicated to the women of the church through hand massages, manicures, and prayer, as students get to know them and share their love for God. The team leaves the orphanage with a better understanding of the Nicaraguan culture, love for the people of CICRIN, and a connection to God's global kingdom.
Throughout the week students also have the chance to explore parts of the country and experience God's beautiful creation. In the past they have hiked parts of a volcano to a spectacular 300 foot waterfall, eaten pizza with backpackers hidden in the Nicaraguan forests, and so much more. While enjoying these breathtaking moments is wonderful, students also experience the material poverty that covers much of the country and the shocking differences between the two cultures. Gordon College hopes to maintain our relationship with CICRIN and continue to help and learn from the people of Nicaragua.

Porn Star Veronica Hart blew in and out of the adult film industry like a sexual hurricane, only staying around for a few years before leaving as quickly as she'd appeared. She definitely made her mark, though. Veronica Hart was a erotic-looking brunette with a trim figure, piercing dark eyes and a lusty sneer that seemed to dare men to take her on. She had charisma to spare and a screen presence unmatched by her contemporaries -- it was impossible not to focus on her whenever she was on screen. Veronica Hart's acting ability was well above the usual porn standard, and she could take on a variety of roles with skill and believability. Her hottest quality was her obvious love for and enthusiasm for raw, wild sex. It was evident whether she was matched up with men or women, as Veronica Hart let loose with uncontrollable passion on her lucky partners. Veronica Hart's brief stay in porn ended in 1984, but she left behind a surprising number of films that attest to her red-hot screen persona. 1983 was the high-water mark of Veronica Hart' carnal career, as she won Best Actress honors for 'Roommates' and Best Supporting Actress for 'Foxtrot.' She was inducted into the XRCO Performers Hall of Fame despite her short stay in the field -- a real testament to the impact that Veronica Hart had on the industry. A charming woman and a steamy sexer, Veronica Hart's name still raises pulses in fans of erotic entertainment. Veronica Hart received the award in 1981 from the Adult Film Association of America for the movie 'Amanda By Night'. She received the award in 1982 from the Adult Film Association of America for the movie 'Roommates'. She received the award in 1982 from the Critics' Adult Film Awards for the movie 'Roommates'. Veronica Hart received the award in 1982 from the Adult Film Association of America for the movie 'Foxtrot.'.

World Trade Center Utah is offering a seminar Wednesday aimed at identifying business opportunities in the Bakken oil fields that might be available to companies in the state.
A new report details many of the needs from hosing to pipeline construction being generated by drilling in the oil formation that stretches from western North Dakota and northeast Montana into Canada's Saskatchewan Province. Output has been so prodigious that some estimates say the hub could challenge production levels in the Gulf Coast.
Copies of the report will be available at the seminar, which also will feature specific information companies need to assess their ability to play a role in the unfolding energy boom that has seen oil production double in the past two years. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Salt Lake Chamber, 175 E. University Blvd. (400 South), Suite 600, in Salt Lake City.
Cost is $149, which includes a copy of the specialized report. Seating is limited, and a catered lunch will be served. To register online, go to http://tappinginthebakken.eventbrite.com, or call 801-538-8861.
"It's hard to imagine the scale of what is happening in the Bakken," said Arnie Sherman, president of Global Development Services and executive director of the Montana World Trade Center, a nonprofit organization that works to increase international trade through public-private partnerships. "There are shortages of everything, from waste disposal to vehicle repair to infrastructure equipment. We see opportunities for Utah businesses in sectors like environmental remediation, communications, finance, health care, restaurants, hospitality, transportation and water services."
Leading the discussion Wednesday will be Sherman and Ed Wetherbee, managing director of the Northern Rockies Regional Center, which makes investments and helps individuals obtain U.S. citizenship, and the former president of Colorado Energy Management in Boulder. They will focus on the challenges of doing business in the region and what lies ahead.
The report, "Tapping Opportunity in the Bakken," was prepared by Missoula-based Global Development Services, which provides construction services to the hospitality industry, and was sponsored by the Montana World Trade Center and the Missoula Economic Partnership, which facilitates business development.

He is being represented by a public defender, but said his mother is looking into hiring a private attorney.
He is the final suspect being held for the killing of Carlos Ramirez, 16, also of Lodi.

Dolot, Miron. Execution by Hunger: The Hidden Holocaust. New York and London: W.W.
Norton and Company, 1985. Introduction by Adam Ulam. xvi + 231pp. Author's Note, Epilogue, extensively footnoted, ISBN: 0-393-01886-5.
Miron Dolot (nom-de-plume), a Famine survivor who immigrated to the United States after World War II, began this book in 1953, and completed it in 1983. He describes the destruction of his village between the years 1929-1933, and states that he wrote only about what he saw and experienced personally. His Introduction provides a historical background from 1921. He notes the condition and population of farm and wild animals in the Famine areas. In 1928, there were 32 million horses in Ukraine, in 1934, that number decreased to 15.5 million. These horses died because their value as laboring animals lessened by the introduction of mechanical tractors. Since these animals no longer provided 'good communist labor,' they were not fed or cared for properly. Like those humans who were too old, young, or infirm to work, farm animals, likewise, were considered "useless eaters." Horses were taken from their private owners for use at the collective farms, but this often was done before any plans or preparations for their care, feeding, or shelter had been made (91).
Pets were killed for skins and food (151-152). Nightingales and other wild birds were killed for the small amount of food their bodies provided. So many birds were killed that their sweet song was silenced for years, until stocks naturally re-populated from outside the Famine-effected areas (173).
At the beginning of 1931, 1/3rd of the human population of his village already had been exiled or killed. He describes interrogations; propaganda campaigns to solve problems of agriculture; forced separation of families by G.P.U.; the selling of goods in exchange for food. Travel restrictions sealed people in areas of the country from which all foodstuffs had been removed. He describes hungry people tormented by thoughts of food (141-143). Significantly, he notes that the 1932 harvest was confiscated, and then left to rot at railway stations (161).
Dolot cites the November 6, 1932, Council of People's Commissars and Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Resolution prohibiting trade, removal of merchandise, forbidding "trade of foodstuffs." "We were imprisoned in our village without food, and sentenced to die the slow, agonizing death of starvation" (176).
The often futile begging, examples of mercy even during these worst of times, and cannibalism that resulted from the insanity of starvation are noted. The situation of children was particularly uncertain. A child, whose parents had already died, cried for help, "My mommy won't wake up!" (207).
Dubkovetsky, Fyodor. Advancing to Communism: Notes of a Pioneer of Collective Farming in the Ukraine. 2nd Edition. Translation of Na shliakhakh do komunizmu. Moscow: Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1951. xxxii + 158 pp.
Dubkovetskyi, a Bessarabian, begins his account with the events of the Russian Civil War, the anti-Petlyura movement, and his life as a hired hand of kulaks. "It was the Committee of the Poor Peasants (CPP) that helped me" (17). He became the Chairman of the village in 1922. "The tractor arrived at Talnoye Station on April 13, 1926" (35). He describes the Commune named, "Grains of October" (45), located near Kiziv. Includes description of other artels (45-47). His wife met Stalin, Kaganovich, et al, in Moscow (56-58) at the Collective Farms Congress. Evacuated during World War II, he describes German Occupation of the farm, devastation of the farm and livestock after the Germans left (89). Visit of Kaganovich July 20, 1947 (122-128).

Includes a partial copy of "House Resolution H. Res. 399 of the 73rd Congress, 2nd sess., 1984," and a historical overview. The geographical extent of Famine; estimates of fatalities from starvation and related diseases; the struggle of children too small to accomplish the burial of their dead mother (13). Stalin's part in causing the Famine, and his reaction to its ravages, as related to the anti-nationalistic campaign. The responsibility of the Kremlin is explored regarding the legislation of the Famine as the culmination of other de-Ukrainianization actions (68). 1933 New York Times headlines regarding the famine included.
Significantly, the word, "holod," (hunger or famine in Ukrainian) was decreed a counter-revolutionary rumor," and punishable as such (27).
Dushnyck estimates the number of victims as 4-10 million based on comparison of census datum. Stalin quoted, "ten million" (35).

Who can forget great hit numbers. Once a film or a tune connects well with movie lovers, many film makers include in their films to score an instant hit. Looks like even Bollywood film makers are smitten by lines 'Olala Olala' in the hit song from Vidya Balan's 'Dirty Picture'. Though Vidya Balan captivated everyone with her acting, many thronged the film as she sprang a surprise becoming an erotic beauty from a tempting traditional girl.Movie lovers are unable to forget Voluptuous Vidya Balan luring Naseeruddin Shah in the song and even Bollywood is unable to come out of is love for the number.
Now Ali Jafar is including the same lines for his upcoming film 'London Paris New York'. He claims his song was even before the release of 'Dirty Picture' saying "I had actually put together this song much before Ooh la la from The Dirty Picture started making waves. In any case, our song is totally different. It is set in Paris and is basically inspired by a phrase Parisians commonly use: Ooh la la. When you hear the song, you'll see that it has a completely different identity."
Even sources who got the opportunity to listen to the song vouch for it. They say while 'Ooh la la' of 'Dirty Picture' bought back memories of 1980's as the film was made based on South Indian sexy siren Silk Smitha, Ali Jafar is tuning a contemporary and modern version of the song using 'Ooh La La'. Interesting part is Hadiya Kiyani and Sanam Marvi, singers from Pakistan are rendering their melodious voice for the song. Ali Jaffer himself composed and tuned the song. Lets wait and listen to Ali's number and the magic it creates before coming to conclusion and passing our judgement on the song.

Now that we have gone from idea, dreams and vision; we now turn to concept. It is my belief that the concept is really communicating your ideas, dreams and vision in a way that people can understand what you are trying to do. It is a summary of what you have been thinking.
If you talk in terms of ideas to people, they will not always understand the potential of an idea or what to do with an idea. People do not always relate well to dreams either. If you sat down with a potential investor and said; " I had a dream last night that will make millions," you may spark some interest with them, but they will want more information. They need information that will allow them to make a decision on whether to invest money in your dreams.
I can argue that a vision is very close to a concept, but let's assume that the vision is not as complete as the concept or that the vision isn't structured as neatly as a concept is. Let's assume that the concept is more of a presentation of your vision. That's think of a vision as something in your mind while the concept is what you put down in writing for others.
There are many things that we can tell you about in the subject of entrepreneurship, but at some point, it all boils down to communicating your ideas. It is a well known fact that many great ideas, visions and concepts never succeed. They don't even get started. Many dreams never come true. So give your concept a chance by learning how to communicate it.
If you check-out venture capital websites (search engine - venture capital), they will often tell you what information they need to review your concept. These are excellent frameworks to study and understand. I know from experience that it is hard to get the attention of people when it comes to concepts or for money to back your ideas.
I believe that so many entrepreneurship teaching approaches spend most of the focus on what it takes as a person, and they miss the important aspects of what it takes to be recognized as an entrepreneur. Recognized means that people need to hear your ideas and understand what your vision and plan is.
The best way to develop your concept is to start with an executive summary. This is a standard document used in business, to present your concept to investors, banks or venture capitalists. This is a way of writing, which is no different then the way you have been taught to write a paragraph or a story. It may not be the most exciting thing to do when you have some time, but over the years it may be the best time you ever spend on yourself and your future.
If you answer the many questions that are expected in an executive summary, you will work out the necessary information to provide someone with a concept. Please realize that this is a very difficult stage of entrepreneurship and one that will stop the dreams of many. It is better to stop at this stage then to lose your money because you didn't think about how you would go about actually doing it. If you can't write it out and communicate it, then you probably can't make it work.
The more you try to develop executive summaries, the greater the chance you will have of succeeding. Just think of it as hitting a baseball with a bat. The first few times you tried, you may have struck-out, but after a number of times (more practice) you hit the ball. The kids that gave up after the first few strike outs, will most likely not be baseball players. The ones who were determined and practiced, became baseball players .Examples of how to succeed in sports also apply to business.
Now you are ready to present your concept with an executive summary.

SPUTNIX has been granted has been granted a license by the Russian Federal Space Agency for engaging in space activity, namely: creating and modernizing small automatic space vehicles for scientific and commercial purposes.
The open-ended license #1749K, issued to the Company by Order #197 of 18 April 2013 based on a decision by the Federal Space Agency, confirms that SPUTNIX conforms to the set requirements "The fact that SPUTNIX has been granted a license for space activity demonstrates its adequate competence in the area of space systems development.
"It is an important and high-profile event for our company, as well as for our investor Engineering and Technology Center SCANEX. It is a significant step forward in the company development that will provide a strong base for our future operations," - says Andrei Potapov, SPUTNIX General Director.
SPUTNIX is an innovative center for development, manufacture and ground testing of prospective elements and systems for small space vehicles. SCANEX Engineering and Technology Center is the company's investor (scanex.ru).
At present work is under way to develop a microsatellite 10-50 kg platform to be assembled based on the Space Plug and Play Architecture, or SxPA principle. The SxPA principle makes it possible to assemble space vehicle's elements and systems as blocks of a LEGO constructor.
Minimal weight of payload for the platform can be up to 2 kg, with maximum weight up to 15 kg. With various sets of service systems, sensors, controlling units, and transmitters in place, it will be possible, from available devices and constructive elements, to assemble a microsatellite platform for various needs.
The satellites were named TabletSat, as the smallest one resembles a tablet, and the large one looks like a pack of Vitamin C.
