Malshej Ghat, a mountain pass situated on the Western Ghats is a famous tourist destination in Maharashta is surrounded by lofty rugged hills. The surroundings are covered in layers of greenery on the hills and the fog often plays a hide and seek game there. Malshej Ghat is a popular getaway for short trips. . Private car hire and car rental companies are the best and most convenient option when it comes to travelling in and around Malshej Ghat. People usually hire cabs and private taxis for travel as Malshej Ghat offers many sight- seeing spots and they are best experienced when travelled by road and hence hiring a private cab becomes necessary for those who want to enjoy the maximum without having to be burdened by the stress of driving.
Famous places to visit: Shivneri Fort, Malshej Falls, Pimpalgaon Joga Dam, Harishchandragad
Mumbai, the financial capital of India lies on the western coast of the country and houses the famous hindi film industry, Bollywood and headquarters of several financial institutions. Mumbai is not only the fastest growing city in the country but also one of the most populated cities in the world.
Although located along the sea, the city of Mumbai extends over 633 square kilometers and travelling from one part of the city to another becomes quite hectic and inconvenient for the general masses. Public transport in the form of local trains, busses, taxi and rickshaws is available; however, with a city so huge and limited time in hands of people, convenience is often the chosen one. Private cab hire and car rentals solve the problem of travelling within and around the city the most. The famous black and yellow taxis are still very famous in South Bombay but when work is more, the best option is to hire a private cab for oneself for the day and leave the travel anxieties behind.

This Tailgate also covers the general work practices that should be performed when de-energizing conductors and equipment prior to commencing work on a de-energized basis. In all cases a no-voltage test must be performed using an approved testing device only. Ensure you verify the range of your testing equipment, determining that it will be capable of handling the voltage you are testing; all too often the wrong tester is used, resulting in unwanted consequences that include damaging your tester or – worse yet – creating an electrical flash.
No-Voltage Testing of Items Other Than Cable
The following procedure is a general outline for testing conductors and electrical equipment, other than cable, for no voltage.
1. Prove your meter operates on a known voltage source.
2. Check for voltage using a properly proven device approved for the voltage involved.
3. Verify no-voltage condition is indicated.
4. Prove your meter operates on a known voltage source.
5. Proceed with the work or with the installation of grounds as required.
No-Voltage Testing of Cable
The following procedure is a general outline for no-voltage testing on all types of cable except series street lighting cable. Specific instructions for metallic sheath, nonmetallic sheath and concentric neutral cables should be followed as defined by your company's procedures and practices, as well as the manufacturer's instructions for testing equipment being utilized.
1. Prove your meter operates on a known voltage source.
2. Bridge shielding before opening sheath.
3. Remove outer jacket or sheath, removing enough jacket to provide clearance between the testing device and the jacket or sheath.
4. Test for no voltage.
5. Verify no-voltage condition is indicated.
6. Remove all non-insulating materials or shielding layers around the entire circumference of the cable, providing ample clearance between the testing device and the shielding.
7. Test for no voltage after each step of shielding removal until the insulation is reached.
8. Verify no-voltage condition is indicated.
9. Test for no voltage on the insulation.
10. Verify no-voltage condition is indicated.
11. Check for stray voltage by testing from each conductor to ground with an approved low-voltage testing device.
12. Verify no-voltage condition is indicated.
13. Prove your meter operates on a known voltage source.
What If You Find Voltage?
When voltage is indicated and the testing device is proven using a known voltage source, no work must be performed or ground installed until the reason for the voltage indication has been identified and removed, or proven to be due to induction. Check the following as possible sources of voltage.
• Incorrect job location
• Incorrect blocking points that have been established including back-feed sources
• Contact with foreign voltage source
• Induced voltage from high-voltage conductors. When this condition is suspected, a voltmeter-type test device must be used to check phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase voltage.
Detailed instructions to be followed when unusual conditions are encountered should be available from your company.
Though these two examples are generic in nature, the intent is the same. No conductor can be considered de-energized unless it is first isolated from the system, tested for absence of voltage and then grounded. Until all these steps occur, all conductors must be treated as energized. By following these basic principles, you can assure your safety and the safety of your crew.

Sunday night was another monumental night in the history of the American Hotel & Lodging Association. As it always does during the International Hotel, Motel & Restaurant Show (IHMRS) in New York City, the association celebrated the past year of its outgoing chair and inaugurated its incoming chair. This year that was the inauguration of Nancy Johnson, executive vice president of development for Carlson Hotels. Johnson becomes just the third woman to serve as chair of the industry's largest association.
Johnson is the founder of AH&LA's Women in Lodging (WIL), and she has done more than just about anyone over the years to advance the progress of women as leaders in the hotel industry. As our November cover story, written by Marla Cimini, outlines, women have become a force in an industry that historically had been run by males. Today, approximately two-thirds of the hospitality school students in universities across the United States are women.
Johnson and WIL have played a large role in building that presence in the industry, but Johnson has been a force in the hotel industry on many levels. Her upcoming year as chair of the association is exciting not because, as AH&LA President Joe McInerney pointed out to me recently, she is the third woman to chair the association, but because she has been a proven leader in the advancement of the industry's interest for many years. I, personally, have only known Nancy Johnson for the last few years that I have covered the industry, but I can attest that there is no one better for the job at this point in time.
As we close out 2011 and move into 2012, we find ourselves staring at a vital election year for the industry. The hotel industry—the entire hospitality and travel industry, actually—is increasingly dealing with governmental affairs issues, such as taxes, ADA regulations, barriers to entry for many international travelers, and helping to get international promotion of the U.S. off on the right foot.
Johnson is a first-rate developer for Carlson Hotels. "I've always been comfortable in a hard hat on a construction site," she told the audience in attendance at Sunday night's inaugural gala at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City. Johnson's always been comfortable in the government and political arenas as well. In a year where the industry needs a powerful voice on Capitol Hill, it's getting one in Johnson, who has learned how to maneuver the D.C. political landscape. With Johnson as chair and the powerful and aggressive AH&LA governmental affairs department leading the way, the lodging industry is well prepared for such an important year in the industry.
"Our voice has been heard loud and clear in Washington on almost 30 separate issues that will shape our future, but I would consider one of the most important accomplishments to have happened behind the scenes—the creation of the Discover America Partnership," Johnson said upon her inauguration.
As we do every year, Lodging will have an in-depth profile of the newly inaugurated chair, including Johnson's thoughts and plans for her term. You will soon be able to find that profile in the January issue Lodging.
In addition, AH&LA introduced New York hotelier John Fitzpatrick, president and CEO of Fitzpatrick Hotel Group, North America, as secretary/treasurer of the association. Fitzpatrick will serve as association chair in 2014.

The Awesome IRC Bot v2 Bot Framework
Completely awesome
Awesome IRC Bot v2 is a massive improvement on my original bot. The new one takes advantage of my new module system, it allows developers to create a fully functional set of modules, distribute them to users a single drag-and-drop install folder, and then allows users to dynamically turn them on and off from IRC.
The project is fully functional and stable, I just want to add a few more touches before v1.0. For now, either grab the latest copy of the source from http://github.com/Aw...y/AwesomeIRCBot
Or, if you need something slightly more stable, download v0.2.0 as a .zip from here:
Take a look at the Wiki article on creating modules and have a go at making one.
If you do make one, send me a PM with a download link for the folder, and I'll add it to modules-extras.
Comments and suggestions are welcome!

From its Web site: The Courier-Journal will lay off about 15 employees and leave other positions vacant as part of a broader cost-cutting move by the newspaper's parent, Gannett Co., the newspaper announced today.
An unspecified number of jobs will be cut at The Courier-Journal by not filling vacant positions. Overall Gannett will eliminate about 1,000 positions, or 3 percent of its total work force.
Arnold Garson, publisher of The Courier-Journal, said in a memo to employees that the local layoffs aren't as deep as those experienced at many other metro newspapers this year.
"As you all know, the newspaper industry — like many other businesses and industries — is in the midst of a difficult economic time," Garson wrote, adding that the company doesn't see the present trend of declining revenues improving anytime soon.
Layoff notices will be completed by Aug. 27, Garson said, and severance packages will be offered to those who lose their jobs. Severance and continued medical benefits will be based on length of service. - Anonymous8/14/2008 11:42 AM
The 3 percent layoffs "aren't as deep" because the employee pool has dwindled due to previous workforce reduction methods: frozen and eliminated positions, previous layoffs and buyouts.

The mood is dismal at USA TODAY. The newsroom morale is at an all-time low. People are scared, angry, confused and overworked. Some are just profoundly disappointmented and feeling betrayed. Most everything that once functioned well is now a disjointed, exhausting chore. Simple tasks take more effort, generate more confusion and anger. Efficiency is all but gone. It is no longer an honor to work here. Management has created a variety of near-impossible working conditions. And what really kills me is that a lot of the pain was self-inflicted from within the newsroom. The buyouts and other top management or corporate decsions hurt, sure. But what the managing and deputy managing editors have created is far worse. They are the ones who took the tools from our hands or just chose to neglect some serious concerns. They are the ones who came up with a host of convoluted "solutions" that solved nothing and created new problems. Their thinking they had all the answers, and not listening to those on the front line who could have guided them, resulted in a more tense newsroom. There is a real bad domino effect to all of this. Problems that start in one section often snowball and roll into another department. Those who really want to do their jobs can't. They suffer in silence because to speak up at this point means you're likely to become a target if in fact layoffs occur. Some folks, admittedly, are doing fine. I won't even get into the reasons why they aren't complaining or feeling the pain. Suffice to say, the flagship is sinking and is no longer a newsroom one should strive to get a job in. I would suggest to other Gannettoids to stay far away from USA TODAY. It's a disaster.

The tough times at USA Today may not get a lot of sympathy from people in community newspaper information centers.
Back in the Day, when even small newspapers were committed to sending one or maybe two reporters to work at USA Today for a year while still paying them, the reporters and editors never wanted to come back "home." The working conditions, accommodations, location and workload were so much nicer that coming back to Podunk, America to cover city council was faced with real dread.
Sort of a "howya gonna keep them down on the farm, after they see Pairee" effect.
USA Today was a cush job. For the people still laboring in the trenches, the fact that people laboring in the towers may seem like they're getting their just desserts. - Anonymous8/14/2008 12:05 PM
At the APP in Jersey, the mood has reached a plateau of negativity. Can't go much lower.
There's rumblings and grumblings throughout the newsroom today about the 3% cut, but no one can really figure out where a hit like that can still be absorbed after the "restructuring" earlier this year. - Anonymous8/14/2008 12:36 PM
In Fort Collins we just don't seem to care anymore. We come in, do our work, maybe laugh with coworkers and go home. If you look around the room, we are much like drones from some sci-fi movie. The impending doom of seeing more of our hardworking staff being laid off has become so routine that we just don't seem to care anymore. That doesn't mean we don't care about those that lose their jobs, we are just so drained that we can't find a way to muster up anymore emotion for the hell hole we work in.

Doesn't surprise me, the comments above about USA TODAY. Their newsroom MEs want yes-men (or women) as their reports. One specifically told me that. Not indirectly, but directly! They don't want to hear the truth from the front lines. That is a classic and often fatal mistake of both business and even the military. The best managers welcome the truth, whether it's good or bad. Heck, even NASA lost a shuttle for that very yes-man, don't rock the boat reason. Another high level editor actually told me recently that this isn't a good time for raising red flags about anything. What!?
ReplyDelete - Anonymous8/14/2008 12:47 PM
The truth? That's laughable. It doesn't exist where I work. Not anymore. A high level editor recently told us that an ominous meeting coming up soon at USA TODAY has nothing to do with layoffs, and is just a regular, mundane meeting that the publisher holds every now and then, even though none of us recall such a meeting. Said not to worry. Oh really? What's all this news about Gannett getting ready to cut 1,000 jobs then? One day after our editor denies anything is cooking, I have to read about 1,000 layoffs on here?

St. Cloud feels the pain. We haven't had layoffs in the newsroom -- yet -- but that's because we have been "lucky" to have three positions open forever, so just about 10 percent of our staff. We have everyone expected to do someone else's job while also expecting them to keep on top of their own. We are just existing. It's lies by omission all around here too.

Jim, are you saying you were forced out because you asked tough questions? Isn't that what reporters are supposed to do? I greatly doubt you were targeted or pushed out. The buyouts were voluntary, right?
ReplyDelete - Anonymous8/14/2008 1:40 PM
With all the rumors of more buyouts and layoffs being true you have to watch out for something new, your co-workers. The axe is coming and no one wants to be cut in this job market. Watch your own back, do not fall for the sticking together crap. The person next to you will do whatever it takes to make his or herself look better than you and try to make you look like you are failing at the same time. This hostile atmosphere will no doubt sink the company. Teamwork will go out the window along with morale.

Springfield has had numerous openings for months that have gone unfilled. Management is huddling behind closed doors today and the feeling is both layoffs and a hiring freeze are on the way.
Mid-management has abandoned all hope because there is no support from the OC. They are all in survival mode.
This place is like a morgue. Skeleton crew-like numbers in the newsroom. Deathly quiet as we keep our heads down and hope to hell we don't get the pink slip, which are expected to come Friday.
Then again, maybe getting out of here would be the best thing.

The senior editors all just disappeared here, so I assume big news is coming soon in this newsroom.
Reporters are not speaking a word, though. If they have read the news at all, most probably are plotting to keep their jobs -- and no hesitating to think of the ways in which they will sell out their co-worker.
I'm simultaneously relieved and disheartened to hear the employee vs. employee is not only at my site. - Anonymous8/14/2008 7:01 PM
Employee vs Employee is nothing new, it started about three years ago at my site when the first round of buyouts where offered. It is a horrible atmosphere to work in when it takes teamwork to put out a good product. Some of you selfish Gannett ass kissers deserve exactly what is coming to you when you stab your co-workers in the back.

I believe the 15 getting laid off in Louisville is IN ADDITION TO the 10 in Finance who were already told last week that they will lose their jobs due to the creation of Indianapolis Shared Services. - Anonymous8/14/2008 8:41 PM
We have that atmosphere now in Montgomery, employees are kissing up to management and are stabbing each other left and right to try and keep their jobs. How can management and these employees live with themselves. It's unbelievable.

Employee-vs.-employee (really team leader vs. team leader) has always been rampant at my dysfunctional, passive-aggressive, throwing-people (doesn't matter who)-under-the-convoy-of buses site.
These are just awful people who have been being awful to each other for 30 years. They smile to each other's faces, ask about each other's kids, sometimes socialize - but don't submit to the hug unless you want a knife in your back.
It's just a poisonous, inbred, downright mean culture here.
And now it's getting worse. I didn't think that was possible.
If I had more than five years with Mamma G to boost the severance, I'd VOLUNTEER for a layoff to get away from these jerks. - Anonymous8/17/2008 4:33 PM

Right on, right on! I believe that's Gannett culture all around. Gosh, I am glad to get out of it real quick.
Exit interview? What a joke - who would consider comming back to such a company? Sorry, credibility of a company is still a point for me - but to work for Gannett seems silly. They don't even know the meaning of the word credibility. Self-serving "know nothings" can only bring a company down and they continue to suck the company dry. Jumping ship looks always better.
Jim says: "Proceed with caution; this is a free-for-all comment zone. I try to correct or clarify incorrect information. But I can't catch everything. Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."

Girls Will Be Girls – Special 'Rejected' Edition!!
on October 19, 2011 at 3:54 pm
So, today, I present proud-ish-ly to you a comic I wrote for an anthology a few months back about adults' lies to children. This 4 page mini was totally an experiment for me, as this is one of the few straight-up autobiographical comics I've ever done, so take it as you will. It got rejected, so I was told, because it was too long, and I was unwilling to cut it to 2 pages (and not for it's unrelenting crapitude? Confidence restored!!).
My tale is the story of the lie my parents told me to keep me from lying (or, The Story of the Story About Lying to Stop Lies). The 'black mark' method was actaully was very effective, until I figured out the only thing that kept me from lying was this rediculous lie my Mom concocted. That's when I started lying like a rug.
So, without further ado, I present "The Black Tongue; or The Story of the Story About Lying to Stop Lies" (click below to see the other 3 pages!)

Are you hiring techs? You may be the only one. Many members have reported a measurable increase in the number of technologist job applications they are receiving, although few departments seem to be hiring. An Imaging Economics article says that the current vacancy rate for technologists is 2.1% (which measures the number of vacant positions versus the total number of FTE positions). Apparently this is the lowest rate in at least seven years.
Many imaging departments were forced to make staffing shifts in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse. In addition, while some hospitals were able to hold the line on staffing and avoid letting any techs go, freestanding imaging centers are cutting staff at the same time. Members in markets with several imaging centers are reporting an increase in applicants from former employees of these providers--applicants that hospital imaging departments had difficulty attracting in the past. Departments also report no longer being required to offer substantial signing bonuses and other stipends to potential candidates. With outpatient imaging market consolidation in the future and the national unemployment rate still high, we assume this trend will continue in the near term.

- Senior Care: Assisted Living, Respite Care, Residential Care Homes
Assisted living and Respite Care Senior Services in Orlando, Florida.
Options for senior retirement communities with assistance can be found in home settings from group homes in residential communities, assisted living facilities (ALF), skilled nursing rehabilitation centers (SNF), nursing homes or continued care retirement communities (CCRC). Some consumers may opt to bring non-medical home care services combined with skilled home health care into a residential home as alternative. Before deciding which care facility or senior community is the best living environment for your loved one to thrive, consumers need to be aware of available options and programs offered. Some assisted living communities have various levels of care where monthly price varies based on the amount of care needed while others may quote you an all-inclusive monthly rate.
Veteran's Benefits for Assisted Living Facilities
American Veterans in need of assistance should take advantage of benefits offered for assisted living facility care or for home care. Statutes governing Veterans' benefits are located within Title 38 of the U.S. Code. Veterans entitled to receiving benefits can access funds after qualifying on a need basis. Consumers need to be aware that Veterans as well as certain widows or widowers are also entitled to non-service connected benefits if they meet certain conditions.

The new Holt Renfrew flagship store opened its doors last month captivating the attention of the luxury brand crowd but also of the Interior Design and Architecture crowd. Designed by Janson Goldstein (www.jansongoldstein.com) out of New York who in 2007 unveiled the Vancouver Holt Renfrew department store. The 40 foot tall facade of glass, marble and steel is a captivating entry to the sleek white interior within. Already making headlines across the news world design magazines have also been capturing the fuss such as Design Quarterly magazine, an Alberta based publication dedicated to Architects and Designers in the province. At first I was disappointed that a Canadian firm was not chosen to carry the new design direction for the distinctly Canadian couture giant but with a firm like Janson Goldstein at the helm I knew only good things could come. I am glad that the design brings a distinctly New York touch with zebra wood, marble, white back painted glass and chrome. The great thing about hiring a designer from another country and culture is the ability to give a city a new outlook on the style and approach they could take. In a city like Calgary that is trying to push itself to a global scale it is time that they step away from the heavily warm tones, granite and slate to explore the potential of new materials, sleeker style and international flavor. At 151,000 square feet this 3 story shopping paradise will house brands like Gucci, Prada, Jil Sander, Fendi, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Giorgio Armani, Versace, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Cavalli, Tiffany & Co. and Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few.
"We are very proud to invite Calgarians into Holt Renfrew's new store in this great city", said Caryn Lerner, President and CEO of Holt Renfrew. "Our gorgeous new flagship has a rich selection of the world's best fashions. We are excited to introduce over 60 new brands to the market." This project will truly revitalize a raise the bar for downtown Calgary's Core shopping center.
I had the priviledge at Andres Escobar and Associates to work on the interior design renovation of Saks 5th Avenue in New York which opened up my eyes to the world of department store design, politics and couture style. Both luxury goods giants are playing with the likes of other big boys like Neiman Marcus, Macy's and Bloomingdales and finding that it takes big money, sharp design and a lot of bold move to pull off a stunning showpiece that provides the perfect museum quality backdrop for some of the worlds leaders in fashion.
I hope this massive new store sparks Edmonton's Holt Renfrew to step up to the plate and update its sadly aged appearance and small scale. I would hope that it is on the top of Holt Renfrew Canada's "To Do" list. Holts Montreal is aging but it at the very least has its size and location up to par. Holts Edmonton could do with a new facade, larger space and entirely new interior.
Another Canadian Luxury brand store the one and only Oglivys in Montreal is also in need of a well deserved facelift. Any Interior Designer would gasp with delight to have their hands in transforming that delight of a department store that dates back all the way to 1866 as a linen shop.
Have you been to the new Calgary Holt Renfrew yet? Tell me about your experience! How did the space make you feel? Do you think it has made a big impact on the downtown core? Do you think it will inspire a more International design flavor? Will New York ever be envious of Calgary?


text: There are multiple items you can find in a local leather goods retail store. Some of these items include shoes, belts, hats, jackets and much more. Most of these items are top-notch. Consumers can find almost anything they are looking for at retailer stores like these. Here are the different types of items that can be found at these type of stores: Designer and regular handbags are quite popular with the public. Many leather good retail stores carry them because they know they will make a profit. Some of the different options include tote bags, shoulder, satchels, and hobo bags. Other popular bags include backpacks for students and business bags. Depending on the brand and the designer, these bags can range in cost (anywhere from $30-$2,000 dollars). Wallets and Wristlets are not only are these just as popular as handbags, but you can often find them in multiple local leather goods retail stores for a decent price. Most consumers wait until after the holidays to catch sales and discounts. For the large leather wallets, buyers have the choice between slim envelope or checkbook wallets. Most leather products last a long time, so consumers see these as a good investment. Most of them come with a shiny cowhide and closure flap (which is able to snap open and close). Other features that may be found on some of these leather wallets include outside zippers and a bill compartment. Consumers will have a place to store their credit cards and other accessories such as keys and small black books. The average cost for a designer wallet is $250 dollars.

FRANKFORT – State Sen. Ray S. Jones II, D-Pikeville, filed a resolution Monday urging the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to consider establishing a VA Medical Center in Southeastern Kentucky.
Kentucky only has two full-service veterans hospitals, the Lexington VA Medical Center and the Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville. Jones says this leaves the veterans who are residents of Southeastern Kentucky no option other than to drive to Lexington, Louisville, or one of the surrounding states to utilize the services of a veterans hospital.
"Southeastern Kentucky is home to more than 34,000 veterans who have courageously served our country, many of whom sacrificed their own safety for the freedom of all Americans," Jones said. "The courage and sacrifices exemplified by our veterans require no less than our unwavering determination to ensure that they are able to easily utilize the benefits they have so bravely earned.
"If the United States Department of Veterans Affairs would establish a VA Medical Center in Southeastern Kentucky, it would greatly ease travel burdens of many veterans residing in Southeastern Kentucky who turn to VA Medical Centers for their health care needs," he added.
The resolution will be considered during the 2013 Regular Session.
Sen. Johnny Ray Turner, D-Prestonsburg, is the primary co-sponsor of the resolution.
Jones represents the 31st district, which includes Pike, Martin and Johnson counties. Turner represents the 29th district, which includes Breathitt, Knott, Floyd and Letcher counties.

SAG, AFTRA Give Up First-Class Travel

Actors will be flying business class and sometimes coach as part of the unions' new deal with the studios.
Hollywood union deals usually don't involve rollbacks, but the latest SAG/AFTRA deal with the studios does. However, it's an unsurprising one: Actors will be flying business class and sometimes coach rather than first class, THR has learned.

New Year Already Tough for EUThe new year hasn't given Europe much to celebrate yet. Recently released industrial and employment data shows the ongoing drag that austerity and recession prevention measures are having on the economy here. Industrial production across the euro zone fell for the third straight month in November, according to Eurostat. Output slipped 0.3 percent from October and 3.7 percent from November 2011. The consensus forecast had called for 0.1 percent growth. The year-over-year slide was the biggest since November 2009. And most indicators from the last three months of the year seem to point to a third consecutive quarter of general contraction for the 17-country bloc. News reports have attributed the decline to across-the-board weakness and steep drops in the production of intermediate and capital goods. But a rising unemployment rate isn't helping matters. The euro zone's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for November rose 0.1 percentage points from October and 1.2 percentage points from November 2011 to 11.8 percent, according to Eurostat. For comparison's sake, the US unemployment rate for November was 7.8 percent. There was a dim positive note for the electronics industry. Industrial output in Germany, a hub for the high-tech and auto sectors, rose a modest 0.1 percent in November, Eurostat said. The country also had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU (5.4 percent). I don't know about you, but this kind of news keeps turning my stomach, especially as someone based in Europe. It's like the recession will never end here, and there's really no end in sight. What does this mean for the electronics supply chain? We'll know more about how individual companies fared when earnings are announced in the next few weeks, but I'm not expecting stellar overall results. As we've reported before, many of the high-tech bellwethers have been struggling the last few quarters, bumping along slowly toward recovery or moving forward with significant shakeups. If I had to put money down, I'd bet we'll hear companies -- especially those dependent on consumer holiday sales -- say revenue conservatively inched up in the last quarter of 2012, though new orders in Europe were slow. Anything other than that would surprise me. What will be more interesting is how companies and executives respond to Europe's ongoing economic slump. We all know it's an important and mature market, but what measures will executives announce now that it looks like the EU will report three consecutive quarters of economic contraction? How will they help turn these numbers around? |

Last month, Schrager posed in his office for Lodging's February cover shoot. Afterward, I interviewed him in his conference room, where even more blueprints and renderings covered the walls. We discussed the debut of his new brand, Public, in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, and his plans to quickly roll out more properties. Two properties are in the works in New York City, and he is converting the Crowne Plaza in London to a Public. He's also looking to expand the brand in cities like Miami and Los Angeles. When the right opportunity arises, Schrager will introduce a new luxury hotel brand as well.
We also discussed his less-is-more design mentality. With Public, he took a restrained and understated approach. He conveyed his belief that the hotel industry needs to return to the basics when it comes to boutique and lifestyle properties.
Schrager expressed his ongoing commitment to his partnership with Marriott on its luxury lifestyle brand, Edition, despite a roll out slowed by the economic downturn and fallout with the owners of its debut property in Waikiki over the summer. Yesterday, Marriott announced five new hotels for the brand, including one in Manhattan's Clock Tower building. Design work is already underway, and the renovation and conversion is scheduled to begin in late 2012. Other hotels announced include projects under construction in Bangkok and Abu Dhabi, as well as contracts signed for hotels in Los Angeles and Gurgaon, India. A London Edition will open next year, and the Miami Beach Edition is expected to open in late 2013. "They are really going after it," Schrager said of Marriott's decision to make several purchases.
Stay tuned for more from Schrager—including mistakes he has made and the curse that plagues him—when the February issue hits the streets. — Megan Sullivan, Managing Editor, Lodging

Cost of the nth floor C(n)=3+(n-1)0.5=3+0.5n-0.5=0.5n+2.5
i) When n=25, => C(25)=0.5*25+2.5=$15 million
Now you can do part ii)
I am a prelim student, trying to do some hsc work so excuse the unfamiliarity.
A skyscraper of 110 floors is to be built. The first floor to be built will cost $3 million. The cost of building each subsequent floor will be $0.5 million more than the floor immediately below.
What will be the cost of building the 25th floor?
What will be the cost of building all 110 floors of the skyscraper?
To find out my answer i re-arranged to make this formula:
3,000,000 + (f x 500000) - 500000
where f = the number of floors
is this the right approach to answering the question, or does it produce the wrong answer? any other ways of doing it?
Atar aim: 92+
Cost of the nth floor C(n)=3+(n-1)0.5=3+0.5n-0.5=0.5n+2.5
i) When n=25, => C(25)=0.5*25+2.5=$15 million
Now you can do part ii)
"Physics is to mathematics like sex is to masturbation." —Richard Feynman
I also have another question:
The number of members of a new social networking site doubles every day. On Day 1 there were 27 members and on Day 2 there were 54 members.
How many members were there on Day 12?
On which day was the number of members first greater than 10 million?
The site earns 0.5 cents per member per day. How much money did the site earn in the first 12 days? Give your answer to the nearest dollar.
Atar aim: 92+
For the first one, the first floor cost 3mil, then add 0.5mil for each floor after. So when we get to the 25th floor, we should of added 12mil onto the original 3mil. Hence answer is 15mil.
The second one, we find the sum of all the floors, which will be:
3+3.5+4+4.5+5+5.5......... (left out the mil to make it easier to type)
Since there is 110 floors to be built, this will go up to 57.5mil.
Let's split it up:
3+4+5+...+57 which is (55/2)(3+57) = 22.5x60 = 1350
Now we have the 3.5 + 4.5 + ... + 57.5
Notice this is the same as the previous series just with .5's on the end? Let's make it that then:
3 + 0.5 + 4 + 0.5 .... + 57 + 0.5
So we know from the last series that it equals 1350, so add this on to get 2700.
Now we just add on the amount of 0.5's we have, that is 0.5x55=27.5
So the answer is 2700 + 27.5 = 2727.5 million or 2.7275 billion
Welcome to the New Age
thanks but it seems extremely tedious to add one by one, isn't there a formula?
Atar aim: 92+
Dw if you can't do it. This is a year 12 topic, you won't learn it until next year.
But these sort of questions don't really require you to "learn" anything- such as formulas and what not, these questions are more on the basis of your understanding.
Atar aim: 92+
the answer to ii should be 57.5 million dollars.
"Physics is to mathematics like sex is to masturbation." —Richard Feynman
"Physics is to mathematics like sex is to masturbation." —Richard Feynman
Ah shit, disregard me didnt read the question properly.
"Physics is to mathematics like sex is to masturbation." —Richard Feynman
ya! so anyone know how to answer it without adding all the floors up one by one.
Atar aim: 92+
I think this is the formula:
n is the number of terms
a is the first term
l is the last term
This is a question from the topic Series.
It's an arithmetic series so you know Tn = a (n-1)d where a is the first term, d is the difference and n is the number of terms. To get the sum of the first n terms, use Sn = n/2(a + l). Those are the formulas since you were looking for one. It's a topic called Series and Sequences if you're interested.
Atar aim: 92+
If you use the old MiF then you'll learn part in year 11 & part in year 12. If you use the newer edition of MiF then you'll learn it in year 12.
I found Series one of the easier topics & it is very useful. It shouldn't be too hard to learnt it by yourself. Just do some practice questions on series & you'll get the hang of it. I think you should be able to do most of the topic with the year 11 knowledge so far. You may need to use logs for a few questions.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- One man is injured after a stabbing in Syracuse early Sunday morning. Police say James Hudson, 21, arrived at Upstate University Hospital with a stab wound to the abdomen.
They say the stabbing most likely happened during a fight outside Karma Bar at the intersection of West Genesee and Wallace Streets around 2:20 a.m. Hudson is currently listed in critical, but stable condition.
Syracuse police are asking anyone with information about the stabbing to call them at (315)442-5222. All calls are kept confidential.


text: According to the December 2011 issue of Dentistry Today, one of John Lennon's rotten teeth was sold at an auction last month for $31,000 to a dentist out of Alberta, Canada. The dentist, a reported collector of animal teeth and celebrity memorabilia, claims that he just knew he needed to have it. When did Lennon lose the tooth? According to Karen Fair-weather, an Omega Auctions representative who sold the tooth, Mr. Lennon gave the tooth to his housekeeper Dorothy Jarlett sometime between 1964 and 1968 when she lived in Weybridge, Surrey. It seems Mr. Lennon came back from the dentist one day with his tooth and gave it Dorothy telling her to dispose of it "or better still, give it to your daughter as a souvenir." Ms. Jarlett later moved to Canada, where she's kept it with her ever since, until just recently selling it.

Consider it to be a local hotel rather than a European Hotel and you won't be disappointed. We were a party of 3 couples and each had an executive room.... This was a separate bedroom with accompanying sitting room with TV and settees. The beds in all 3 rooms were rock hard. One of us contemplated lying on the floor to see if it would be softer than the mattresses!! The location of the hotel is very good, but can be hard to find. It is in something akin to a service lane backing on to some very expensive shops and hotels. There are a number of very good local eating places ( with emphasis on "local") Don't expect English to be spoken but the pictures in the menus are enough to get by. We were all happy with the hotel and would stay there again, based on the price and location. Stewart, (Auckland , New Zealand) dne 15.11.2012

I am talking about my house insurance in post quake Christchurch.
- September 4th 2010 the first earthquake measuring 7.1 First EQC claim.
- Boxing day 26 December 2010 measuring 4.9 a quake epicentre was practically underneath the house. Second EQC claim.
- February 22 2011 measuring 6.3 - more damage sustained [I was in Christchurch at this time awaiting the birth of my first grandchild]. Third EQC claim.
- June 13 2011 measuring 6.3. Fourth EQC claim.
[Update 23 Aug 2011: The saga continues. Finally heard from insurance assessor via the broker. Looks like the ball has been dropped again as they want to assess my house for the third time by yet another assessor! To be continued...]
- Insurance broker informs CTINZ that I do have and have always had a property manager
- CTINZ insist on a letter from the current property manager
- I provide this
- CTINZ come back to insurance broker and insist this letter is not good enough [it is on letter head, has all contact information and all relevant details about the service he provides]. They insist because they have "not been able to locate any Yellow Pages or online presence or information in regards to the property manager" they don't see him as being a legitimate business. [Since when was it a requirement to have an internet presence to run a business!?] My current property manager is someone who does NOT need this type of presence. He is by word of mouth and so a whole raft of ridiculous questions get asked by the insurance company, who it is important to note NEVER AT ANY OTHER STAGE DURING THE TIME I HAD MY PROPERTY INSURED WITH THEM HAVE ASKED ME BEFORE. Also and most importantly, there is no requirement in the policy documentation to have a property manager [up to 1 July 2011]. CLICK TO SEE POLICY WORDING [POSSIBLE PENDING CHANGE - CHECK DATE ON BOTTOM OF WORDING TO ENSURE CORRECT VERSION BEING READ]
- Insurance Council of NZ who told me that they cannot do anything
- IBANZ who inform that the insurance broker is not a member [however I'm sure their staff have been in the past]
- Campbell Live via a TV3 news employee - they did not take the story up
- Close Up - I never heard back from
- Fair Go - who opened 1 of my emails but have not contacted me
- Lianne Dalziel [my electorate MP] twice. No reply either time.
- Brendon Burns MP [because i've been told insurance hassles are close to his heart] - no reply.
- Gerry Brownlee has also been emailed with my predicament and also the link to my Press article. I've heard nothing back so far.
- I contacted my bank ... stupidly thinking because i have a mortgage with them they may actually care about my situation...and of course...they don't. Their underwriter, Vero are not writing any new insurance in Christchurch.
- AMI who contrary to what people think, have confirmed they are not writing new insurance in Christchurch and I still have my car insurance with them.
- AA practically laughed in my face
- State - not writing any new insurance in Christchurch
- Tower - as above
- Fintel - as above.
And so a friend contacted The Press last Saturday which culminated in Ben Heather, quake story reporter contacting and writing an article which was printed on the front page last Wednesday 17th August. Most galling is the comment from Rob Cormack that I have "done myself no favours" - he is basing this statement upon my refusal to respond to his requests for endless details of the property manager - a property manager which according to the policy wording is not required.
UPDATE 5 December 2011
I still cannot get insurance. I have now been completely uninsured for just on 4 months. The stress does not get any easier.
Have a fantastic Christmas and a safe New Year.... no doubt i'll be back to update this page!
Update: 8 March 2012
I was unable to get any form of house insurance until the end of April 2012.
Quake repairs
LOUNGE curtains lying in the porch and through to the wash house. Floor covered in plaster dust and trampled on Still on curtain rods - thrown on floor |
LOUNGE curtains lying in the porch and through to the wash house. Plaster dust and trampled on. |
Another snap of the Lounge curtains in the wash house. Vinyl being ripped up [which THEY did and wasn't repaired until my property manager told them it was part of the repairs]. |
Rest of the house curtains including nets thrown into a bedroom wardrobe. The nets had been bundled up and tied with STICKY cloth tape |
When we went back the next day the lounge curtains had been moved to front bedroom and the roman blinds from wash house also. Plonked onto plasting sheeting covered in plaster dust. |
More photos of the repairs HERE
- Some of the wash house vinyl had been ripped up by them, but they said it was not to be repaired...it was and IS on the scope of works
- The repaint over the exterior weathrboard repairs was a mismatch to the rest of the front of the house.
- The solid plaster repairs to the foundation had not been commenced let alone completed.
- The curtains are still in the process of being sorted. They have agreed to replacing 2 bedrooms and drycleaning the rest.
I am still owed thousands from Neil George THOMAS, who i've had to take to tenancy tribunal and district court for not paying rent and also having to remove his rubbish all round the exterior of the house. If you image google "neil thomas milk" it will come up with a photo of him holding a 2 litre container of milk. He also owes thousands to other landlords. He keeps skipping houses. Let me know if you see him. It would be nice to get my money.
I can understand why landlords do not want to let their houses out. I've had nothing but stress and inconvenience. At this stage i'm almost happy to leave the house empty until it sells - the stress becomes almost unbearable otherwise, on top of everything else.
Good News

"Davina Porter makes this lovely book even better"
Naturally the writing style was a bit old fashioned for my taste but the subject matter and innuendos were surprisingly riske and modern. I'd like to complain about the tragic ending but in all honesty I can't. It was refreshing to read a novel that was realistic and believable. Overall the writing style was what I expected and the story was beautiful. You'll be writing down quotes as you go.
It was very interesting to get an accurate interpretation of what life was like for a woman like Tess. I find that as a woman I take for granted what would have saved her from such misery. If you're in the mood to appreciate the small things there is no part of this book that isn't interesting.
Naturally, Tess. She's no Clair Frasier but Davina always brings a story to life.
Tad late for that.
I would definitely recommend this book. Don't expect a rock your socks romance but Tess will stay in the back of your mind long after you finish.
"Nice Quick Read"
I definitely would. I work on a computer all day so at night I like to just relax and listen to a good book without straining my eyes.
I really appreciated how Mika shared both her accomplishments and mistakes. It's great knowing I'm not the only one who's blundered through my career.
I found her to be a great narrator who was easily understood.
"Beautifully written and unforgettable!"
This book would most definitely be in my top ten. I know the lenth of it is intimidating to some but don't miss out.
I think it's a mixture between Tess of the D'Ubervilles and the Outlander series. Maybe I'm crazy for thinking that but it's much more exciting than Tess and gripping like Outlander. I couldn't stop listening. Tolstoy is such a beautiful writer, I found myself making notes the entire time. He educates his readers while telling a very interesting story.
I'm in love with Davina Porter's voice so it's fair to say I'm biased when it comes to her skills as a narrator. This book is so much more because of her.
I can't say without spoiling the read for you. However when you get to the part you will most certainly know.
I wish audiobooks had been so readily available while I was in highschool. A talented narrator can turn a drab book into something you can tear yourself away from.
"Loving all that is Sylvia Day"
I'm a huge fan of historical romance novels and this one certainly didn't dissapoint. Sylvia's sex scenes aren't the best but the storyline definitely makes up for that. It was exciting with plenty of twists and turns. Marcus' character is endearing and I found myself falling for his entire family.
Elizabeth is my favorite part of the story. She's a very powerful character, not your typical damsel in distress.
The narration was mediocre. I've listened to books read by Justine in the past and I find her voice both pleasing and irritating at the same time. Almost like it's fake. You can rarely tell the difference between characters which really drives me nuts.
No I did not. It was exciting at times but overall nothing extreme.
"Cunning yet predictable"
Not a thing, I buy a book from this series whenever I need a mental break from a difficult or depressing read. It's uplifting and enjoyable.
I wouldn't have changed anything. This is all about one big, happy family.
Angela is quite limited but her voice is very soothing. It's not uncommon for her to get the male and female character mixed up and her accents are terrible.
No...all of the brothers are married now, lol.
Don't expect anything spectacular but you will be content.
"Hold onto your hats!"
Most definitely. It's not entirely believable but that's why I bought it. There were lots of twists and turns with a few laughs mixed in. Lora has a way of describing things just enough without overdoing it.
Risa because she was strong and feisty.
I think that this is one of her best. She really seemed to get into it.
I'm not entirely sure it would make a good movie but I guess I would out of curiosity.
This book will entertain you, no doubt about it.
"Severely lacking and obviously rushed"
Wicked ties wasn't the best novel I'd ever read but it was definitely better than this one. I'm thinking Shayla was in a rush to release this one or something because it's like they were written by two different people. The storyline was painful...truly. Kimber's voice made my skin crawl. The only reason this book is getting two stars is because of the sex scenes, even though most of them were interrupted with ridiculous drama.
The lack of a story.
I'm not a huge Lexi fan. She can only manage a few different voices and like I noted earlier, Kimber's really brought the book down.
I wouldn't waste my money on this one ladies. Wicked Ties had it's moments...this book does not in my opinion. Maybe the third in this series is better but I'll never know.
"A sizzling read"
I really liked how strong the heroin turned out to be at the end of the novel. The story itself was interesting with plenty of twists and turns to keep you listening. I must say the sex scenes alone made the book worth reading. You could almost say it was excessive but they were so well written they didn't get boring. I didn't like how long it took for the truth to be revealed either. It made a somewhat believable story overly dramatic and irritating at times.
I've read the second book in this series and in my opinion it was even better than this one. It's next to impossible to find an extremely well written erotica novel but Lora's are far from the worst I've encountered.
I've always enjoyed Clarissa's voice. I think she struggles a bit through sex scenes and I did find myself cringe once or twice but I highly doubt I could do any better. Either way I find her pleasant to listen to and she has a way of making a story exciting.
If you're looking for a sexy escape from every day life definitely get this book.
"Just what the doctor ordered :)"
Absolutely, it's a very pleasant read. I enjoyed the author's writing style and the narrator was good as well.
This book is definitely geared towards younger adults but I still liked it.
"Endearing with a lot of potential"
I would recommend this book to a friend, if they were into this sort of thing. It wasn't the best written novel I've ever listened to but it had a strong female character (which I love) and an original storyline. Even if it was a bit far fetched and extreme at times, lol. But hey, a woman can dream.
This was my first Shayla Black novel.
I haven't listened to Lexi Maynard before.
I enjoyed this novel. The characters could have been delved into a bit deeper and the plot adjusted slightly. I wish that erotica novelists would sway from the cliché storylines a bit more. The heroine doesn't always need to be coincidentally trapped with her soon to be lover/saviour/sexual beast for the story to be exciting. Either way this novel isn't a waste of time and as a whole entertained me thoroughly.
