"Best Audio Book I've ever Heard"
"more than just a book read aloud"
I love books read by the author, when they have a nice voice. I loved listening to Pullman. He has a beautiful voice that is perfect for telling this story. There is a cast of actors for all of the character voices. Lyra's was a tad annoying, but most were very well done and the story became seamless despite so many different actors. This story was full of action and adventure and plenty of questions to get your brain working. It has many levels, so it will appeal to young adults and more mature audiences differently, however it will likely appeal to all. As for the story, the author is very frank in his criticism of the church, and embracing of terms that the church fears (witches, daemons). That will immediately put off some people. The readers his slant are going to put off have probably already written off the series due to the propaganda :) However he tries to show the "humanity" in every character, most of them having suprising depths. Church authorities are more likely to be "bad" than a witch or daemon, however you will often be surprised whenever you think you "know" a character. My disappointment came in that this book is a cliffhanger, as part of the trilogy, and the last two books do not live up to the first. So it is hard to read the first and not find out how the story ends, but it is not as satisfying a journey after the end of this one. By the very end the tone has changed from action/adventure to philosophy. This bored my sons and even myself to some extent. That affected my rating of this book slightly, its dependence on the other two. Alone it was engagine, exciting, though-provoking, and a pleasure to listen to! And I did have a hard time putting down the other 2, I was so hooked into the story, though they would get more like a 3 star. 0 of 0 people found this review helpful

"if you get tired of waiting for HP..."
This story of a boy coming into his magical powers, surrounded by mostly unsupportive or mean family members, and being sent off to a special school to learn to use his magic may remind you of another young wizarding book. This is not as vivid or engaging as that, but until you can get HP on Audible I think this is worth a listen. My ten year old enjoyed it, and I was engaged in it too. We would read more in the series!
Overall(917)Performance(244)Story(241)
I keep going back and listening to parts of this book, and never fail to laugh! I enjoy his narration and his storytelling just can't be beat. Sometimes I just couldn't believe he would say/do such a thing, but it is a fun kind of astonishment. While he never seems to run out of material from his family and his relationship, I like that he's going out creating new adventures to share with his loyal readers.

I love the show, so was intrigued by the book but couldn't really get into the "textbook" format of it. The audio seemed to streamline it, and of course you get Jon's voice so that's a bonus! I laughed out loud several times and went back to listen to other parts again. I really enjoyed it.

I had never read this book, so the storyline alone was engaging. However the narration was so superb I could hardly turn it off. I got a ton of housework done just to justify listening all day! The characters really come to life in this audio version of the classic "whodunit".

Virbhadra Singh to take oath as Himachal CM on December 25 - Hindustan Times
home » India-news » HimachalPradesh Virbhadra Singh to take oath as Himachal CM on December 25
Gaurav Bisht, Hindustan Times Shimla, December 23, 2012
First Published: 19:04 IST(23/12/2012) | Last Updated: 11:09 IST(24/12/2012)
Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Virbhadra Singh will take the oath of office at the historic Ridge in Shimla on December 25, 10am. Apart from the fact that he will get the chair for the sixth time, the Christmas day coronation is a strong political statement due to its venue, where Virbhadra was denied permission by the BJP government to celebrate his 78th birthday and 50 years in politics on June 23. A union minister at that time, Virbhadra had then held his birthday rally at the Shimla Skating Rink instead.
related storyAmidst hectic lobbying for berths Virbhadra leaves for DelhiHeads will roll: CM-designate Virbhadra talks graft combat
However, the irony is that when BJP's Prem Kumar Dhumal had held his oath-taking on the Ridge in 2007, the Congress had objected to it terming it an unwelcome break in tradition that was hurting the "sanctity" of the Ridge maidan (ground). Now, when governor Urmila Singh will administer the oath to Virbhadra, he will become only the second CM-designate after Dhumal to get the chair formally at the venue. In fact, when the Ridge was not given as a rally venue to him in June, Virbhadra's supporters had argued that the maidan was routinely used for holding religious sermons and the annual summer fest. The Ridge has been used for political rallies, too, including when the then PM Indira Gandhi addressed a gathering here on January 25, 1972, the day Himachal attained statehood.
With the December 25 function, Virbhadra will also break away from his self-set precedence of taking oath at the Raj Bhawan. Earlier in the day, Congress national general secretary Birender Singh along with few of the legislators went to the Raj Bhawan to hand over MLAs' letters of support. By noon, the Raj Bhawan sent a formal letter to Virbhadra inviting him to form the next government. It is likely that Virbhadra would take oath alone, and the ministers would be appointed later.

The film and the textile carrier are then compressed together with the rolls, to form the laminated synthetic leather, and to prevent the film from penetrating into the textile carrier to a greater extent, and to form a soft or flexible laminated synthetic leather.
1. A method for manufacturing or forming a laminated synthetic leather, said method comprising:
engaging a textile carrier onto said carrying roll,
providing and disposing a lamination roll close to said carrying roll,
providing an extruder machine to extrude a material into a film, downwardly feeding said film onto said lamination roll, to have said film carried on a roll segment of an outer peripheral portion of said lamination roll, and to have said film to be suitably cooled by said lamination roll, said roll segment having two ends, a first end disposed where the film begins to contact with the lamination roll at 89 degrees above the horizontal plane measured through the plane where the carrying roll and the lamination roll contact intersecting at the lamination roll axis, a second end disposed where the film leaves the lamination roll at 1 degree above the horizontal plane measured through the plane where the carrying roll and the lamination roll contact intersecting at the lamination roll axis, whereby said film contacts said lamination roll over a sufficient segment of the lamination roll to provide a substantially constant thickness of said film,
providing a passage in said lamination roll,
feeding a cooling fluid through said passage of said lamination roll to cool said lamination roll and to cool said film when said film is carried on said segment of said outer peripheral portion of said lamination roll,
compressing said film and said textile carrier together with said carrying roll and said lamination roll, to form said laminated synthetic leather, and to prevent said film from being completely penetrated into said textile carrier, wherein
the horizontal plane is horizontal to the ground and the point of contact of said lamination roll and carrying roll is a line, not a plane,
said roll segment is the entire surface of said lamination roll that the film contacts.
9. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein said thermoplastic polymers are a mixture of thermoplastic urethane (TPU)+ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM). Description
This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/817,277 filed Apr. 1, 2004, now abandoned to which application priority is claimed.
Typically, for manufacturing or forming laminated synthetic leathers, a soft or melted coating is heated or melted or extruded from an extruder machine into a film, and then pressed onto a textile carrier with rolls, in order to solidly secure the film of the soft or melted coating onto the textile carrier.
For example, German Patent No. DD 298578-A7 to Braun et al. discloses one of the typical extrusion-coating method for pressing a coating of soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) onto a textile carrier with two rolls. The textile carrier is viscose and heated by contact with a heated lamination roll.
For allowing the soft PVC coating or film to be solidly attached or secured onto the textile carrier, in the compression region between the film of the soft or melted coating and the textile carrier, the PVC film is not initially cooled so much that it loses its thermoplastic workability, and the textile carrier is heated so that the PVC film applied penetrates into the textile carrier to a greater extent.
However, on subsequent cooling, the PVC film loses its workability and flexibility, such that a great portion of the textile carrier will also lose its workability and flexibility, and such that the users may not feel soft or flexible or comfortable when wearing a cloth manufactured with such laminated synthetic leathers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing or forming laminated synthetic leather and for preventing the soft film or coating from penetrating into the textile carrier to a greater extent, and thus for forming a soft or flexible laminated synthetic leather.
providing an extruder machine to extrude a material into a film, downwardly feeding the film onto the lamination roll, to have the film carried on a roll segment of an outer peripheral portion of the lamination roll, and to have the film to be suitably cooled by the lamination roll, the roll segment having two ends, a first end disposed where the film begins to contact with the lamination roll at substantially 89 degrees with respect to the above horizontal plane that the angle is measured through the lamination roll axis relative to the above horizontal plane passing through the point where the lamination roll and carrying roll meet, the second end disposed where the film leaves the lamination roll at approximately 1 degree measured through the lamination roll axis relative to the above horizontal plane, whereby the film contacts the lamination roll over a sufficient segment of the lamination roll to provide a substantially constant thickness of the film,
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan schematic view illustrating a method for manufacturing or forming laminated synthetic leather in accordance with the present invention;
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings, and initially to FIGS. 1-3, a method in accordance with the present invention is provided for attaching or compressing a soft film or coating 1 and a textile carrier 2 together, to form a laminated synthetic leather 3 (FIG. 3), and to prevent the soft film or coating 1 from penetrating into the textile carrier 2 to a greater extent, and thus for forming a soft or flexible laminated synthetic leather 3. A carrying roll 4 is provided to carry the textile carrier 2, and may be made of metal, plastic, rubber or other materials.
An extruder machine 5 is provided to form the soft film or coating 1, and includes an inlet 6 for receiving the materials for forming the soft film or coating 1, and includes a port 7 for outlet the materials that have been heated or melted by the extruder machine 5, to form the soft film or coating 1.
For example, the materials for forming the soft film or coating 1 may be selected from thermoplastic polymers, such as thermoplastic urethane (TPU)+styrene butadiene rubber (SBR); thermoplastic urethane (TPU)+styrene ethylene butylenes styrene block copolymer (SEBS); thermoplastic urethane (TPU)+thermoplastic rubber (TPR); thermoplastic urethane (TPU)+ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM); or the like.
The inclusion or the introducing of the other materials, such as styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), styrene ethylene butylenes styrene block copolymer (SEBS), thermoplastic rubber (TPR), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) into the thermoplastic urethane (TPU) is provided to change the characteristics of the thermoplastic urethane (TPU), in order to form the soft film or coating 1 having a porous structure or having a number of perforations formed therein. A foamable agent may further be added or introduced into the materials for forming the soft film or coating 1, in order to increase the softness or the flexibility of the film or coating 1.
A lamination roll 8 is further provided and disposed close to the carrying roll 4, and includes an outer peripheral portion 81 to support and to carry the soft film or coating 1, and is preferably made of heat conductive materials, such as metal, for contacting with the heated or melted soft film or coating 1. A roll segment 83 of the outer peripheral portion 81 of the lamination roll 8 is contacted with the heated or melted soft film or coating 1, and has two ends, a first end disposed where the film begins to contact with the lamination roll 8 at substantially 89 degrees with respect to the above horizontal plane that the angle is measured through the lamination roll axis relative to the above horizontal plane passing through the point where the lamination roll 8 and carrying roll 4 meet, the second end disposed where the film leaves the lamination roll 8 at approximately 1 degree measured through the lamination roll axis relative to the above horizontal plane, whereby the film contacts the lamination roll 8 over a sufficient segment of the lamination roll 8 to provide a substantially constant thickness of the film, wherein the above horizontal plane is horizontal to the ground and the point of contact of the lamination roll and carrying roll is a line, not a plane, and the roll segment is the entire surface of the lamination roll that the film contacts.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is preferably that the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 is flowing or feeding downwardly out of or from the port 7 of the extruder machine 5, to engage with a top point or an end 84 of the segment 83 that is designed with 89.degree. of the lamination roll 8, and engaged with the segment 83 of the outer peripheral portion 81 of the lamination roll 8, and then leaving at a lateral point or another end 85 of the segment 83 that is designed with 1.degree. of the lamination roll 8. Accordingly, the lamination roll 8 is preferably controlled and limited to rotate within a rotational or moving stroke of about 89 degrees.
In addition to suitably cooling the heated or melted soft film or coating 1, the lamination roll 8 may also be used to suitably support the heated or melted soft film or coating 1, to allow the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 to have a uniformly distributed thickness, or to prevent the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 from having a changing thickness.
The lamination roll 8 preferably includes a passage 87 formed or provided therein for receiving cooling water or fluid therethrough, and for allowing the lamination roll 8 and thus the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 to be suitably cooled by the cooling water or fluid flowing through the passage 87 of the lamination roll 8.
It is to be noted that the flowing speed of the cooling water or fluid flowing through the passage 87 of the lamination roll 8 may be controlled to determine the temperature of the heated or melted soft film or coating 1, for allowing the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 to be suitably pressed onto the textile carrier 2. The rotational speed of the lamination roll 8 may also be controlled to change the supporting time of the film 1 on the roll 8 and to determine the temperature of the heated or melted soft film or coating 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, the rolls 4, 8 may be disposed side by side, to allow the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 to be carried on all of the segment 83 of the outer peripheral portion 81 of the lamination roll 8. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the carrying roll 4 may also be disposed or arranged in different angular position relative to the lamination roll 8, to change the engaging portion of the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 with the segment 83 of the outer peripheral portion 81 of the lamination roll 8.
Further alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the port 7 of the extruder machine 5 may also be changed to different position relative to the lamination roll 8, to change the engaging portion of the downwardly fed film or coating 1 with the segment 83 of the outer peripheral portion 81 of the lamination roll 8. As shown in FIG. 7, the port 7 of the extruder machine 5 may also be changed to different angular position relative to the lamination roll 8, to suitably supply the film or coating 1 toward the lamination roll 8.
After the heated or melted soft film or coating 1 has been suitably cooled to the required temperature by the lamination roll 8 and/or the cooling water or fluid, the film 1 and the textile carrier 2 may be compressed together by the rolls 4, 8, in order to form the laminated synthetic leather 3 (FIG. 3). In addition, the suitably cooled film 1 may be prevented from completely or fully penetrated into the textile carrier 2 to a greater extent.
For example, the film 1 may be penetrated into the textile carrier 2 to an extent of about 3-45 vol. %, for allowing the laminated synthetic leather 3 to have a suitable softness or flexibility. The outer peripheral portion 81 of the lamination roll 8 may be formed into a smooth outer surface or may be formed or knurled with various patterns to have the patterns to be transferred or formed on the laminated synthetic leather 3.
Accordingly, the method in accordance with the present invention may be used for preventing the soft film or coating from penetrating into the textile carrier to a greater extent, and thus for forming a soft or flexible laminated synthetic leather.

defining functions question. chris17531-May-06 5:08 Say you have a function that you want to document in the class but isnt coded in the class definition. For example...I am using MSChart and which is a class created from the Visual Studios C++ 6.0 and it has a bunch of functions. It is missing the event functions and I would like to document them with DOxygen. How do I accomplish this? Chris
Re: defining functions question. peterchen31-May-06 10:55 You can document certain entities separate from their code (I usually havea separate "doxygen only" source file that contains no code, just additional doxygen comments)
Re: defining functions question. chris1751-Jun-06 0:58 Thanks for the response. I dont think you understand my question or I didnt fully understand your response. Say there is a function called "void function1()" that is NOT coded in any of my classes but it exists. This "function1()" is an event that exists for the MSChart class developed by Microsoft Visual Studios. I would like to document it because there is no formal documentation in C++ about the MSChart Class (It only exists in VB). How do I do this? I have tried just putting a function definition in a class where the function doesn't exist and no output for that function is created.....I tried putting the following in a class where there is no "read" function and it doesn't put a read function in the DOxygen output even through I declared that I wanted it in the DOxygen output.

Royce White Talks Recruiting - Minnesota - Scout
Royce White Talks RecruitingChris Monter09/28/2007Royce White, a 6-foot-8 forward from Minneapolis (MN) DeLaSalle, is considered the top player in the state in the Class of 2009. He is considered a must-get recruit for the Minnesota Gopher coaching staff. GoldenSports.Net recently caught up with White to find the latest on his recruitment.Royce White played in the LeBron James US Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio and The Nike Global Challenge at the University of Portland this summer. He also played in many events with the Howard Pulley AAU team. White was GoldenSports.net's choice for Sabes Foundation Invitational Tournament MVP. White was named second-team All-Metro by GoldenSports.Net as he averaged 21.8 points and led the Islanders to a 19-8 mark. White has received scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Northern Iowa, Miami, Creighton, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan State, Minnesota, Iowa State Purdue, Arkansas, Seton Hall, Texas, Arizona and Southern California. White has continued to show why he is one of the top players in the Class of 2009 in the Midwest this spring. He shined for the Howard Pulley AAU team at the Boo Williams Invitational, leading them to the Bronze Division championship and at the Kingwood Classic, where they advanced to the Final Four of the Platinum Division. He led the Panthers to a second-place finish in the Jayhawk Invitational and a title win at the Sabes Foundation Invitational. White scored in double figures in every game this year and scored 20 or more points 15 times and had 31-point efforts against Houston (TX) Westbury Christian and Breck, and 33 versus Blake. White is an excellent shotblocker and rebounder who has worked hard on his offensive game, ball-handling and shown expanded shooting range. Anything new on the recruiting front? I think since I last talked to you, USC offered. I have been in contact with North Carolina.They are supposed to go up and talk to me at school in the next few weeks or at an open gym. Other than that, not much. What about Duke? In the paper, they had a note that North Carolina and Duke had both offered you a scholarship. "That was kind of a misunderstanding I think. I did not tell him that. Maybe there is something that I do not know about that my coaches know about. You know how that goes. That's the way it has been since I was a freshman, he always knows more than me. The Duke thing, I'm not 100 percent sure on, so I wouldn't say, but I have been in contact with them and they will probably be up at the school sometime."
Have you been to any campuses lately? "I went to Iowa State on an unofficial visit to watch the Iowa game. DeLaSalle has an alumni (Alexander Robinson) playing tailback. Great game."
Have you been to the University of Minnesota lately? I know that you were at their Elite camp. I was at the Elite camp. That was really good. Tubby did a good job with that camp and all the coaching staff and the setup was nice. Since then, I went down there one time to just hang around with some of the players. Just hang out because I know those guys. Any plans for this weekend? Are you planning on going to a football game? I'll probably go to the U of M football game with my girlfriend or something like that. Do you have a favorite school or is it still a little early? "It's still early."
Do you plan on narrowing down your list of schools? "I'm starting to think about it, since I have time to be off and off my feet to relax and think about schools and think about it more. What about DeLaSalle for this year. You lost some players, but you have you and Jeremy (Randle) back and add A.J. Barker from St. Paul Academy
We got a freshman named Melvin Carter who I did not really know about until this morning in an open gym. He looked pretty tough for a ninth grader. He is about 6-foot-1 and can jump out of the gym. Dunk it and shoot it. We are looking forward to what he can do."

As a living descendant of Artemis the Huntress, private investigator Nikki Glass knows how to track someone down. But when an Oracle shows up, warning the Descendants about wild dog attacks in Washington, D.C., Nikki is afraid it might be a trap. The Olympians believe the "dogs" are really jackals, controlled by a blood-crazed descendant of the Egyptian death-god Anubis. Whatever.

No longer the leader of the Olympians, Konstantin has now gone into hiding. Konstantin is vulnerable, and Anderson believes now is the perfect time to destroy his nemesis. He orders private eye Nikki Glass to use her powers to locate Konstantin, and she balks at the idea until a series of attacks leads her to believe that Konstantin is gunning for her and Anderson instead of remaining safely in hiding. Nikki's search is complicated by Cyrus - Konstantin's son and the new leader of the Olympians - who threatens retribution should his father be killed.
You should give this series a try
If you’ve never read/listened to this series, I highly recommend you give it a try. Nikki is the descendant of a god, Artemis to be exact. Artemis is..Show More » a moon goddess who can’t miss what she is aiming at and is an excellent tracker. She is born mortal, but if she kills an immortal descendant, their immortality will pass to her. One such immortal, known as Liberi, commits suicide by jumping in front on Nikki’s car. This kills him and give Nikki his immortality There are two groups of Liberi that we see throughout the series. Anderson’s group, which consists of both Greek god descendants and descendants of other gods like Kali and Loki. There is also the Olympians, which consists only of greek gods. Their goal is to rid the world of Liberi from the other gods. Anderson’s group has many more morals than the Olympians, which have next to none. Nikki is forced to join up with Anderson and his team. This will give you some background on the series.
In this book, Nikki is being tormented by either Konstantin, the former leader of the Olympians, or Emma, Anderson’s estranged wife who has joined the Olympians. The confessions of the torment claim to be Konstantin but don’t appear to be his style. There is a lot of evidence that points to Emma as the culprit. Emma is convinced that Nikki is after her husband, which is not the case. We watch as Nikki works to uncover who is burning any building that is related to her. She is kidnapped and “killed”, she gives the EMTs quite a scare when she returns from the dead. We see more interactions with Cyrus, Konstantin’s son and the current leader of the Olympians. Nikki is also having complications of jealousy from Sita, a phantom tiger that belongs to Jammal, who Nikki is interested in.
I love this series and the characters. The world is extremely interesting in it’s simplicity and the layers that are uncovered the more we learn. There is some romance, but it is barely blooming and in this book in particular, we see Nikki might be moving towards a love triangle with Anderson and Jaamal.
While this book is action packed, it still seems like a bridge to me for a bigger storyline to come. There is a pretty large cliffhanger at the end of this book that helps me to believe in the “bridge” aspect of this book as well.
I’m sure many of you know Sophie Eastlake, the narrator. She also does the most recent Chicagoland Vampires and all of the Elder Races series. She is a little bit flat in her narration when compared to some, but it works really well with the calm and collected Nikki Glass.
If you’ve haven’t tried this series, I think you should really give it a shot. The first book is a little slow because there is a ton of character and world building, but book two is wonderful and this book is helping to build to something big coming in book four, I think.

10 Leadership Tips To Become The Gr...
20 Great Quotes On Giving!!!
@javez Thanks.
I love it. Thank you very much! Al-Vis
10Top SecretsGreat Leaders
Leadership is an art because it continually evolves, changes form, and requires creativity. It is a science because there are certain essential principles and techniques required. A good leader knows when it is time to change shape because they are highly attentive to those around them. What do you think makes a great leader? Here are 10 top secrets of great leaders that you must know :
Secret # 1 : First of All You Must Believe In Yourself The great leaders believe in themselves and their abilities. Self-doubt and low self-esteem are stumbling blocks. Believe in what we do and do what we love. If we don't believe in our goals, then convincing others that they should work towards them will be very hard. All excellent leaders are awesome - they are dynamic, focused and you feel better when you are around them. Copy this from them!
“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to doit even if I may not have itat the beginning.”- Mahatma Gandhi
Secret # 2 : Learning All The Life They are committed to staying current and learning industry trends. As a leader, you must have profound knowledge of what you do and committed to learn all your life!
“It’s not about wins and losses at this point. it’s about seeing what we can and can’t do and learning.” - Mike Goldstein
Secret # 3 : Be Pro-ActiveCreate chances and be pro-active. Don't wait for opportunities to come to us. Being pro-active instead of reactive enables us to be ready for difficult situations and take advantage of positive circumstances. 9.
“We are not in a crisissituation, but we are taking proactive steps.” - Lee Brown
Secret # 4 : Have FunThe best leaders are the ones who love what they do and have fun with it. Everyone wants to be around a leader who knows how to have fun but still gets the job done. 11.
“People rarely succeedunless they have fun inwhat they are doing.” - Dale Carnegie
Secret # 5 : Have Willing To SacrificeLeadership often equals sacrifice in some form or another. Great leaders are willing to sacrificefor the team - excellent leaders will never let on that they had to sacrifice for the team. As a leader, be calm in extreme situations and lead the team from front.
“Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy.” - Mahatma Gandhi
Secret # 6 : Have Clear VisionLeadership requires thought and planning. Excellent leaders plan time to think and to process information before making major decisions. Excellent leaders have an unnatural ability for seeing the big picture. They are visionary and help others to embrace their vision.
Secret # 7 : Know What To And Not To SayTo successful people, working with others means knowing what to say - and what not to say. Think before we speak or act. As a leader, our words and actions will be looked upon and criticized or emulated by others. People want to believe in their leaders. The good leaders are not afraid to speak their mind. Yet they are able to do so with respect. 17.
“Sometimes when I’m talking, my words can’t keep up withmy thoughts. I wonder why wethink faster than we speak.Probably so we can think twice.” - Bill Watterson
Secret # 8 : Discipline YourselfLeadership requires discipline. Excellent leaders discipline themselves in order to accomplish the tasks at hand. 19.
“Discipline is the bridge betweengoals and accomplishment.”- Jim Rohn
Secret # 9 : Be Fair & HonestAll great leaders are honest, hard-working and conduct all their business dealing with integrity.Treat others as we would like them to treat us. If we treat others fairly and justly, we can expectthat they will treat us the same. If we treat them unjustly, expect that they will treat us unfavorably. 21.
“Integrity is telling myself the truth.And honesty is telling the truth toother people.” Spencer Johnson
Secret # 10 : Take Care Of YourselfOf course to be productive as a leader, you must take care of yourself and find a healthybalance. That balance differs from one person to the next, so finding your own will be up toyou. Take care of your mind, body and soul to create a positive person. 23.
“Take care of your body. It’s the onlyplace you have to live.”- Jim Rohn
“A leader is a dealer in hope.” - Napoleon BonaparteNow You KnowThank You Very MuchSompong Yusoontorn

My Experience With LXURE - Lxure
I had an amazing experience with LXURE! The Suite was luxurious, homey, immaculate, and so private. The place was fully furnished & equipped, and the service was outstanding!! While having the convenience of staying in Brooklyn, the luxury suite, complete privacy, quiet corner, heated pool and beautiful outdoors make you feel you're off to some resort.

Sarah, we are so glad you had such a great experience at LXURE.
At LXURE that is our goal. Hope to see you back in New York soon.
“Truly exceptional and outstanding”
I have been to many hotels this was outstanding. Without exaggerating I felt like I was at home. The room large, beautiful, spacious, cleaned everyday you could literally eat off the floor. The service was excellent. The location is also great, a block away from the subway station that takes you everywhere in Brooklyn and manhattan. Being of the Jewish faith it is also located in close proximity to the Jewish neighborhood. I highly recommend the lxure to anyone who needs to visit the NYC area.
Room Tip: We slept in the king suite and enjoyed our private outdoor space.
