The last two nights of our Panama stay were in one of the large rooms at the Marriott. It was quiet, the bed was very comfortable and all the staff made us feel welcome. The coffee deli was perfect for for a quick meal. Good restaurants close by....great last minute price.

This hotel was GREAT!! my boyfriend and i went for new year's eve for 1 night (dec 31rst - jan 1rst)... the hotel is very nice and fancy, but if u're coming to have indoor fun, not recomended. The hotel is fully equipped for a business travel, it has a casino next door but its not that great. THE ROOMS!! Wow they are really nice and big, even though u take the standard one. The rooms were just PERFECT.THE SERVICE!! Well they were all nice ladies, the girl that checked us in was super nice and the girl who answered the phone every time we called as well THE GYM!! Very complete and confortable the only thing is that they should put signs to it because its very hidden. Its right next to the pool, the pool its not that big but its clean and nice.I didnt rate it "Excellent", because we had to check out at 5am and there was nobody to check us out. We called several times but nobody would answer us, no bell boys or security guards or front desk recepcionist or anything. There was nobody since 3am in the lobby. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT!

A great experience from the moment I checked in! The staff is pleasant, warm, and cooperative. The room was large and included a seating area, clean and safe. I ate at the coffee shop which was delicious. I would definitely book here again.

Europe's Champions League goes into the knockout stage in the very week that the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent, kicks off. Neymar features in neither. The young Brazilian has yet to be tempted by a move across the Atlantic, and Santos, his club, failed to qualify for the Libertadores. So, for the next few months, he is left kicking his heels in the obsolete and irrelevant Sao Paulo State Championship. Might Neymar be harming his own development as a result of spending too long in his comfort zone?It is a question that has to be asked in the light of last week's friendly against England. It is clear that in Neymar's short career the England game at Wembley forms part of a pattern. Every time he comes up against opponents who are proficient at closing down his space he finds it hard to make an impact. It was the case in the 2011 Copa America, in both legs of the quarter and semi-finals of last year's Copa Libertadores, in the Olympic final against Mexico and in all the matches he has played for Brazil against top-level adversaries. Part of this problem is technical. In domestic Brazilian football the defensive lines normally sit very deep - meaning there is plenty of space on the field for his type of player to pick up possession, decide what to do and gather speed as he seeks to go past his marker. When he steps up a level he is robbed of that time and everything has to be executed quicker. Neymar da Silva Santos JuniorBorn: 5 February 1992, BrazilCurrent club: SantosYears - Team -Apps - Goals2009: - Santos- 102 - 54National team:2009: - Brazil U17 - 3 - 12011: - Brazil U20 - 7 - 92012: - Brazil U23 - 7 - 42010: - Brazil - 28 - 17But I am also tempted to believe that there is a psychological aspect to all this. An international audience might be excused some scepticism, but the talent is real. I well recall the first time I saw Neymar in the flesh - coming off the bench for Santos against Fluminense back in May 2009. He only had eight minutes to show his stuff, but he came up with enough in that time to show that he was the real deal. From the hype that already surrounded him I had expected a dribbling specialist. But his first touch was a long-range pass that split the home defence and set up a goal. His tight skills forced a red card for the Fluminense right-back and then his shot was pushed out by the keeper for centre forward Kleber Pereira to turn in the rebound. A shaky 2-1 lead had turned into a 4-1 rout, and Neymar had shown he could pass, shoot and dribble - and all just a few months after his 17th birthday. Soon afterwards Neymar went off to Nigeria to play in the Under-17 World Cup. With Liverpool's new signing Philippe Coutinho also in the team, it was the most-hyped Brazil side I can recall at that level. But they failed spectacularly.Neymar had a poor tournament, unable to reproduce against adolescent opponents the form he was already showing in the Brazilian top flight.I have the impression that ever since that competition, global football is something of a trauma in his young mind. For a player of his type, confidence is fundamental. But whenever I see Neymar one-on-one with a defender in top international games, I never believe he will win the duel and - for what it is worth - I have the impression he does not believe it either. Meanwhile, in domestic football he is the undisputed king of the hill, accumulating goals and dribbling at pace worthy of comparison with a young George Best. But in the tough matches he does not seem to be making progress. So why stay in Brazil? Why not match himself against tighter marking on a weekly basis?True, there is no great financial incentive to move. He is already earning a fortune and there is also a personal issue - he has a son based in Santos. There is, perhaps, one key professional justification for staying put, and it has to do with the words of Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari after the loss to England. Scolari pointed out that the game came at a bad moment for those players who are based in Brazil, who, right at the start of the season, were not yet match fit. In contrast, the England players and his own European-based contingent were in mid-season. But, added Scolari, the situation will be reversed when the sides meet again in Rio this June. Those based in Europe will have just finished a long campaign, while the domestic players will be in peak condition. These same conditions will apply a year later when the World Cup kicks off. Perhaps the idea behind staying in Brazil is that it will give Neymar a physical advantage in 2014, which he can use to carry the host nation to World Cup glory - the perfect confidence boost before embarking on his European adventure.Comments on the piece in the space provided. Questions on South American football to vickerycolumn@hotmail.com, and I'll pick out a couple for next week.From last week's postbag:Q. I'm following the Colombian national team's progress with great interest and am considering a bet on them to win the 2014 World Cup. They look well equipped as an attacking force with established players like Falcao, Martinez and Rodriguez, and exciting youngsters like Quintero and Muriel. My doubt is their defence. Do you think they'll be able to unearth enough defensive talent to mount a serious challenge in Brazil 2014? Steve DoddA. I think you have correctly identified their strengths and weaknesses. Colombia are playing some wonderful football, but their main centre-backs - Yepes, Mosquera, Perea - have all aged together. To compensate for their lack of pace they now have a tendency to drop deep and open up a hole between defence and midfield.Time is tight to put this right. I'm not yet 100% convinced by Valdez, who played last Wednesday against Guatemala, but he is a younger option. And there is a youngster I'd love to see fast-tracked - John Stefan Medina of Atletico Nacional, a very promising defender. Q. What are your views on striker Keirrison? I remember him being talked about after his move to Barcelona, but he appears to have just had a number of unsuccessful loan spells and is now back in Brazil on a long-term loan. Do you think he was just hyped too soon and what are the odds of him making a return back to Europe? Colin BrownA. I've been wrong a hundred times, and will be wrong many times in the future, but I saw this one coming. Some disagreed with me then, but at the time I felt he was far too raw for a big European move. He was a front-to-goal, right-footed finisher and nothing else.In addition to the disappointment of finding out that he was not as good as he had been allowed to believe, he has also had a bad recent run with injuries. If he can get fit then being back at Coritiba might be good for him - the return of Alex gives him a top-class supply line.Tim Vickery is a regular guest on BBC radio 5 live's World Football Phone-in, which is available to download as a podcast.

Milwaukee Brewers likely to fall back in the National League Central - MLB - ESPN
Red flags for the Brewers
Milwaukee's secondary stats suggest a team that will fall back to the pack
Updated: May 26, 2014, 1:18 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers had a great start to the season and were the talk of the league in April. But after losing six of their past eight games through Saturday, their National League Central lead has shrunk to 1½ games, and they now sit in the No. 7 spot in ESPN.com's Power Rankings.
The question surrounding the Brewers is whether this is a blip on the radar of a true surprise team or signs of a team gravitating back to its true talent level in the middle of the NL pack.
One of the first things we look for when trying to determine whether to buy in on a team's breakout is its record in various margins of victory, particularly one-run games. It would be hard to paint Milwaukee as anything other than fortunate in these situations. The Brewers' 10-6 record gives them a .625 winning percentage in contests with a one-run margin, which is tops in the NL.
To see why the Brewers are likely to fall off, become an Insider today. Insider

After listening to Mr. Griffin's inspired version of Virgil's Aeneid, there was simply no way I was going to pass up on this one. Beowulf plagued me in college. I struggled with it, basically just to get through it. If only this recording had been available to me back then. Although the poem itself is not as linear in development or as clear in its meaning as, say, The Iliad or The Aenead, it yet possesses a power which is very peculiar. I think much of this is a result of the rich alliteration and powerful symbolism that is spread throughout the work. And, as the publisher's summary says, there is definitely an echo of Virgil here. I was so captivated by the power of this epic poem that I went out and bought the Kennedy translation just to follow along. Even better! I cannot say enough in praise about Mr. Griffin's work here. His ability to instantly pull you into the story and keep you riveted to the words borders on the magical. Like everything he does, the production values are top notch. If you are even slightly curious about Beowulf, this is your golden opportunity. 21 of 21 people found this review helpful

Clinton always seemed like a mixture of the worst traits of LBJ and JFK. But I have to say, he really is persuasive. You almost start to believe this stuff as you listen to his excellent narration. I give it one star on that account. But this is a celebrity expos?, not a real biography. Just as he fell short of the office he occupied, he falls short as an historian. There's no "there" there. The real Clinton will only emerge many decades from now when an absolutely fair minded historian digs up all the bones and puts them back together. 11 of 59 people found this review helpful

Great return visit - Review of White Pebble Cottage, Moelfre, Moelfre, Wales - TripAdvisor
Great return visit - White Pebble Cottage, Moelfre
alU0XzQ3X21HYQ==
This was our third stay at White Pebble Cottage and its still the perfect accommodation for a stay on the island.
We always find the cottage at a cosy temperature with the underfloor heating keeping the cottage nice and warm - great after a windy costal walk.
The facilities here are great and we have never wanted for anything that is not supplied.
The cottage has always been clean and well maintained and we can recommend to anyone looking for a cosy holiday home.
Many thanks for taking time to write us a review. We look forward to welcoming you back for a forth visit in the not too distant future!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at White Pebble Cottage and would love to welcome you back again soon!
So pleased you enjoyed your stay at White Pebble Cottage! We would love to welcome you back soon, kind regards Claire
“Peaceful, unspoilt, relaxing place to stay.”
We booked White Pebble Cottage for the Easter holiday break with our two Grandsons. What greeted us was a lovely cottage, that looked just like it showed on the photos, which in my opinion, was a great relief as we have booked places before and obviously the photos had been take years before!! The cottage has everything you might need whilst away; a fully equipped kitchen, comfy open plan lounge, crisp clean bedding and white fluffy towels, very nicely decorated and loads of storage! The location may not suit everyone as it is very quiet but suited us perfectly. Lots of wonderful coastal walks, beaches, cafes/places to eat en route! And a lovely little outside courtyard to sit and listen to the stream running by. A good location for access to other parts of Angelsey ; would certainly recommend a visit to Newborough Forest which is absolutely stunning to walk through and an amazing beach too. I see people have mentioned the shower... not the most powerful but it did the job for us and there was plenty of hot water for the bath. Contact with Claire was easy and Claire answered e mails right away. Oh and a lovely welcome of tea and cake.. very much appreciated after a few hours driving! My family had an amazing time and we would certainly recommend a visit. You will have such a wonderful relaxing holiday/break. Thank you Claire for making your cottage such a warm and welcoming place to stay
Thank you for your review of White Pebble Cottage Annette. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, we would love to welcome back in the not too distant future! Kind regards Claire
“Ideal coastal location. Lovely accommodation.”
We stayed at White Pebble Cottage for 3 nights as we were walking the coastal path. There were 2 couples staying. The accommodation was just right -2 bedrooms with good storage, lovely furnishings and big fluffy white towels.
The open plan downstairs worked really well and we made use of the oven,dishwasher and washing machine.
Easy correspondence with Claire who answered any questions. Key safe worked well.
Only downside was the shower but it wouldn't stop us from staying again.
Thanks for the review! We have just replaced and upgraded the shower. An electric shower is the only option for us at White Pebble Cottage, but the new shower should be an improvement.
For our family of 4 this was a perfect place to stay, the cottage is modern, well equipped and has very effective underfloor heating downstairs which keeps the cottage at a very comfortable temperature at all times, So arriving back from a windy walk was always very comfortable.
People have mentioned that the shower is very weak, however you need to bear in mind that it's an electric shower and not a power shower and perfectly acceptable for a holiday home. It's worth mentioning that the supplied towels were a really nice quality too.
There is loads to do in the area and we did quite a few of the circular walks detailed in the welcome pack, we found that most parking was free and the walks were really enjoyable and that's including opinions from our 12 and 16 year old social media addicted offspring.
The owners of the cottage are very helpful, we had to ask for some help during our stay and the support we got was second to none.
Additional touch of a welcome pack on arrival was very nice, all in all highly recommended, we will be back, thanks Claire
Thank you for taking the time to do a lovely review!

A collaborative supply chain through effective knowledge sharing enhances continuous . Tacit knowledge is contextual and gained through experience and interactions among individuals and between individuals and processes (Nidumolu 2001). Tacit knowledge is best shared through face-to-face communication since it is embedded into the practices and communications of individuals (Fahey and Prusak 1998). lowered operational cost. Strategic choice theory illuminates how the two knowledge strategies interweave with low-cost defenders and differentiated defender strategies (Walker and Ruekert 1987). this study includes cost and innovation orientation in the conceptual model as two moderators to assess the effects of cost and innovation orientations on the links between knowledge sharing and supply chain capabilities.

The amount of optimal current knowledge sharing efforts is lower when both buyers and suppliers have already made prior knowledge sharing efforts (Samaddar and Kadiyala 2004). This strategy requires high investment in research and development and the knowledge sharing process. in their efforts to improve supply chain capabilities. the following three research questions are proposed. Codification is an effective strategy for sharing explicit knowledge. In line with the two strategies of low-cost defenders and differentiated defenders. It emphasises a face-to-face communication for the sharing of technical and cognitive knowledge that is personal and hard to formalise in the documentation. The codification of explicit knowledge can be achieved through a variety of techniques such as cognitive mapping. limitations and suggested future research. Does knowledge sharing (explicit and tacit knowledge) create value in improving supply chain capabilities (cost efficiency and innovation capabilities)? Which roles do cost and innovation orientations play in the improvement of supply chain capabilities? Do cost efficiency and innovation capabilities improve supply chain performance? The paper has been organised as follows. and tacit knowledge is shared through managed conversation. Accordingly. the paper concludes with a discussion of implications. the buyer and supplier dyad can achieve a reduced cycle time. Through individual communications and informal meetings. the sharing of explicit knowledge (through codification) and tacit knowledge (through personalisation) fits the low-cost and differentiated defenders strategies. the knowledge and skill base are building up for enhanced creativity within the organisation. respectively.

The knowledge-based view asserts that knowledge contributes significantly to an intangible strategic resource in supply chains (Grant 1996. explicit knowledge can be combined with existing knowledge through cyber Ba. experiences and mental models. and improved product quality due to the simultaneous access to the required information. First. Theoretical background and hypotheses development This study is grounded in the knowledge-based view and strategic choice theory. theoretical background and hypotheses development are presented.1 Effects of knowledge sharing on supply chain capabilities Explicit knowledge is viewed as information because of its codifiability. differentiated defenders emphasise creating value by offering innovative products to the volatile market. A high degree of explicitness is associated with a high degree of articulability (Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995). Codifiable or explicit product-based knowledge transfers effortlessly compared to less articulable knowledge (Wagner and Buko 2005). The sharing of tacit knowledge is a socialisation process through originating Ba. the unit cost of the product and manufacturing overhead costs are reduced. Information sharing and trust between buyer and supplier exert a direct positive effect on supply chain proximity (Narasimhan and Nair 2005). By sharing the documented information through information technology.3896 J. 2006). Hult et al. As a result. which is supported in collaborative environments by means of information technology to share the codified documentation. 2. Then. this study takes the firm’s cost and innovation orientations into consideration since the orientations are critical to the knowledge strategies in achieving high supply chain capabilities. Nonaka and Konno (1998) stated that for the sharing of explicit knowledge. knowledge taxonomies and task analysis (Dalkir 2007).
2 Moderating effects of cost and innovation orientations on supply chain capabilities Knowledge strategies focusing more on codification are appropriate when a firm is cost oriented because sharing codified and documented knowledge is not expensive. These capabilities enable a firm to maintain a competitive advantage with a focus on creating value for customers.International Journal of Production Research 3897 innovation (Soosay et al. assimilate it and apply it to commercial ends is critical to the firm’s innovative capacity (Cohen and Levinthal 1990).

A cost orientation is likely to facilitate the valueharnessing process of cost efficiency from explicit knowledge sharing. access to strategic information and familiarity with the environment of the firms. Minor changes have been made according to the feedback in the pilot study. A senior manager completed the survey on behalf of his/her firm. Hypothesis 6.

Innovation capabilities are a reflection of skills and accumulated new knowledge that are exercised through organisational processes. The relationship between tacit knowledge sharing and innovation capabilities will be stronger when an innovation orientation exists.

Innovation capabilities exert positive effects on supply chain performance. chief operating officer. a supply chain must improve its innovation capability to fit the market characteristics of its products. The respondents from the firms include chief executive officer. intensive research and development. A pilot study was undertaken to ensure that respondents encountered no difficulties in completing the survey questionnaire. When a firm is cost oriented. An innovation-oriented firm is able to create value for customers by continuously offering new products through new idea creation. together with a letter explaining the purpose of this study and offering to share the research results if respondents returned the completed questionnaire. Hypothesis 5. 2008). This enables the firms to make use of their assets and functions as a key success factor (Day 1994). it emphasises utilising existing information without largely investing in acquiring new knowledge. The firm’s ability to recognise the information’s value. Tacit knowledge sharing requires a substantial investment in promoting an originating Ba for socialisation (Nonaka and Konno 1998). and incentives for creativity. it should concentrate on those capabilities and performance metrics that support value creation. Cost efficiency exerts a positive effect on supply chain performance. Therefore. Such firms have an organisational culture of innovation. brain storming. Tacit knowledge sharing with suppliers is positively related to the improvement of the buyer’s innovation capabilities. The key informant approach has been widely used in empirical studies because of the knowledge of the key informants.1 Sample and data collection Data has been collected in Shanghai to test the above hypotheses by means of a survey questionnaire sent to the top 500 firms classified as manufacturing in the Shanghai Statistics Bureau’s industry classification system. saves resources and increases its performance image in the marketplace (Morash 2001).g. cost efficiency and innovation capabilities) to be order qualified.

g.1 Managerial and theoretical implications Based on the findings of this study. the cost efficiency will decrease with increased sharing of explicit knowledge. which captured the . this study reveals a strong connection between innovation capability and supply chain performance. First. which reflects the improved financial performance. However. It has also assessed the effects of cost efficiency and innovation capability on supply chain performance. Cheng et al. several implications are offered to practitioners and researchers. 5. The finding supports our theorising. Unexpectedly. high and low costs of knowledge acquisition result in higher financial performance of new products (Yang et al. Second. This study extended the literature on knowledge sharing and supply chain capability from knowledge-based and strategic choice perspectives. thus. when it reaches a certain level. high cost efficiency does not lead to the improvement of supply chain performance. Similarly. and we will leave these for future studies. 2002). 2008). this study fill a research gap in the Supply Chain Management literature by providing empirical support for theorised links between sharing of explicit and tacit knowledge and the improvement of supply chain capabilities in the context of China’s transition economy. 2006). When the codification and personalisation processes of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing through Ba match lowcost defenders and differentiated defenders strategies. In line with the knowledge-based view and strategic choice theory. A possible explanation for this finding might be that the relationship between explicit knowledge sharing and cost efficiency is curvilinear. The managers of Chinese manufacturing firms have suggested focusing on the creativity and product innovation by continuously building the knowledge and skill base and substantially investing in research and development to create new value for customers. It suggests that a manager should put more efforts to construct Ba for knowledge sharing and creation. supply chain capabilities can be improved. Sezen 2008). Thus. The results provide partial support to the hypotheses and shed light on the importance of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing. The results show that innovation orientation and tacit knowledge sharing interweave for the improvement of innovation capabilities. Approximately. Furthermore.International Journal of Production Research 3901 5. top management of the firm should invest heavily in building Ba for the organisation so that employees can share tacit knowledge through face-to-face communication to harvest the great value of tacit knowledge. but the lack of adaptive innovation and offering of products to volatile markets results in a low level of customer satisfaction. Downloaded by [Tamilnadu Agricultural Univ] at 04:35 20 August 2013 5. information and knowledge sharing in a collaborative supply chain plays a crucial role in achieving superior performance (e. the findings shed light on achieving a high level of supply chain capability.2 Future research This study was subject to some shortcomings that limited the interpretation of the results. This is consistent with the assertion that applying innovative ideas through collaborative supply chain partners creates a meta-value chain that brings new products to customers as well as adding value to the other supply chain members (Rodriguez et al. In particular. Third. 2008. and the mediating role of cost and innovation orientations on the improvement of supply chain capability. As discussed in prior literature. Discussion and conclusion This study has examined the direct effect of knowledge sharing on the improvement of supply chain capability and the moderating effects of cost and innovation orientations on these relationships. A marginal relationship between cost efficiency and supply chain performance can be explained by the firm’s strategic orientation. low-cost defenders are seldom at the head of chain development practices (Hult et al. A firm with cost orientation usually adopts low-cost defender strategy in doing business with its suppliers. we used cross-sectional data to test the research model and the hypotheses. which achieves a high level of cost efficiency. In particular. building on the knowledge-based view and strategic choice theory. knowledge sharing through codification increases cost efficiency. 80–90% of a firm’s knowledge is tacit knowledge residing in people. the findings suggest that tacit knowledge sharing exerts a significant effect on innovation capability. Knowledge creation in a supply chain through various Ba has also been testified by Wu (2008). originating Ba facilitates the implementation of personalisation through the socialisation process. There exists a curvilinear relationship between cost of knowledge acquisition for a new product domain and financial performance of the new product: moderate levels of cost of knowledge acquisition produce the lowest financial performance. when competition and cooperation coexist. explicit knowledge sharing is negatively associated with cost efficiency. which asserts that personalisation strategy is best employed for tacit knowledge sharing.
