SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/19/13 -- The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced that BORQS, Denx, Gazzang, Genymobile, Mandriva and Seneca College are joining the organization.
Linux and collaborative development have become pervasive in the mobile and enterprise computing markets. There are more than 1.3 million Linux-based Android devices activated every day, and a global ecosystem of companies is investing more than ever in Linux and embedded Linux to support the growth of Android. Many of The Linux Foundation members focused in this area will attend and participate this week at the Android Builders Summit (http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/android-builders-summit) and Embedded Linux Conference (http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/embedded-linux-conference) in San Francisco.
Linux is also providing both the foundation for the cloud and a blueprint for collaborative development that will enable an open cloud. In a recent survey conducted by IDC, 94 percent of IT users said that collaboration and a vibrant open source ecosystem are important for cloud adoption. Two of today's new members -- Gazzang and Mandriva -- are joining The Linux Foundation to maximize their investments and contributions in this area.
Seneca College also joins today as an education affiliate.
More information about today's newest Linux Foundation members:
BORQS is a leader in Android-based services and software and is one of the early members of Open Handset Alliance (OHA). It works with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to provide a complete platform solution that can be launched across Global Carrier networks, with chipset providers to build a reference platform and with carriers to create custom, Android-based solutions supported by BORQS powered cloud-based back-end platform. BORQS has offices in Beijing, Bangalore, Wuhan and Shenzhen. It will participate in the Code Aurora Forum, among other activities at The Linux Foundation.
"The Linux Foundation hosts important collaboration in the Android and embedded development space, and we're interested in being a part of that work," said Hareesh Ramanna, VP Engineering, BORQS.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

I trusted Brian Weber. I believe in what he told me. I trusted him. In my years of investing I have made thousands of dollars and lost thousands of dollars. I have E mailed CEOs and called CEOs and they told me to trust them. I was taken for thousands of dollars. I thought that this time I would ask Brian Weber to come to my home to get to be one on one with him. He came. How many of you have ever done that? He told me that if I would invest $50,000 or more he would pay me 7% monthly and 10% at the end of the year. I have a deal signed by him. Now I ask you. I am the fool of fools.
has he paid you what he promised, on time, so far?

Bethenny Frankel biography:
Bethenny Frankel net-worth is declared to have estimate of 30 million dollars. Additionally, she's believed to go around 40 thousand dollars for each episode at which performer appears. To the people, Bethenny Frankel is largely called a star from television reality shows and likewise an entrepreneur. Both vocations bring millions of dollars for the entire sum of Bethenny Frankel net-worth. But, the initial engagement which brought amounts to her net-worth was her cocktail business called "Skinnygirl". The very first-time when Bethenny Frankel appeared in the television screen was throughout Martha Stewart's television show called "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" where Bethenny Frankel appeared among the contestants. Her exhibits "Bethenny Getting Married?" and "Bethenny Ever After" present her relationship with her husband named Jason Hoppy.
Bethenny Frankel Net Worth – 30 Million Dollars
Actually in the beginning Bethenny Frankel was trained to be a chef. But, the company which brought her a bundle was her cocktail company "Skinnygirl". Lots of earnings came from her publications as well as DVD sales. But, the huge break for her arrived in 2011 when she offered her booze line for the Fortune Manufacturers' Beam Global business. The organization purchased "Skinnygirl" cocktails for 120 million dollars, because it's been documented. However, there were rumours that Bethenny Frankel really offered it for approximately 8 million dollars, but, the statement after was refused by the chef herself. Still, if the business began to offer drinks, the rumours began that they employed since the advertising of drinks said that they were really free of preservatives preservatives which damaged the standing of the business. Nonetheless, it didn't change Bethenny Frankel net-worth and it still appears to be expanding as a result of her operation in the TV display.

Your average veterinarian can mend a bird's broken wing, chase away a dog's fleas and do a bit of bovine surgery should the need arise, but that's just a small part of what a trained veterinarian can do.
Graduates with the doctor of veterinary medicine degree, or DVM, can find work at universities, medical centers and industrial laboratories. Veterinarians can work with such groups as the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, where they ensure the humane treatment of animals and inspect animals for signs of disease before they are slaughtered.
But most veterinarians ply their trade at private practices treating household pets.
Becoming a veterinarian requires a four-year degree — after earning a bachelor's degree — from one of only 28 accredited veterinary schools, a fairly small number given the many fields the doctors toil within. Once that degree is earned, a graduate can open a practice or opt for more training.
Dr. Ted Mashima, associate director for the Center For Government and Corporate Veterinary Medicine at the University of Maryland at College Park, says veterinary medicine teaches the "ologies," from neurology to epidemiology, lessons that can apply to all manner of creature. Animals like elephants and mice might seem enormously different, he says, but, generally, the biological systems of animals have more similarities than differences.
Dr. Mashima says most of the animals a common veterinarian treats will be dogs, cats, horses and cattle and, to a lesser extent, pigs, sheep, goats and chickens.
Veterinarians can work examining pre- and post-slaughter animals to ensure food safety, help treat laboratory animals and even contribute to homeland security. Bovine tuberculosis is but one of many diseases transferrable from animal to man, and cutaneous anthrax has been found in people who shear sheep in certain parts of the world.
"The sky's the limit in terms of different ways veterinarians are engaged," he says.
Budding veterinarians can hone their skills with both clerkships and internships as they work their way into their career.
Students in their final year of veterinary school can enroll in one or more clerkships, which can last for several weeks, depending on the college. These sessions involve working under an established veterinarian.
An internship, by contrast, is a one-year post-DVM role that generally is followed by a two- or three-year residency program.
Veterinary graduates also have the option of pursuing a specialized education, much as a traditional doctor might choose a career in oncology or plastic surgery.
These graduates can choose from 20 specialties, ranging from internal medicine to nutrition to radiology. To do so, they undertake a one-year internship and then a three-year residency program to earn certification in a particular specialty from, for example, the American College of Veterinary Surgeons or the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

Movie Info
1875. New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. -- (C) Official Site … More

ent, okay? no, not you, not you, and not you. the three of you, sit. get out! okay, i think we can all agree that this game is the most important thing that ever happened to us, right? - absolutely, yeah... - it's very important... - that's the truth. - it's a hugely important thing. so because i'm a nice guy. you know, 'cause i'm a cool dude, i'll let you live, all right? but, mac and frank, you got to give me your shares of paddy's pub. done. - what? - yes! and, dee, you're gonna have to do all the charlie work in the bar from here until-- oh, i don't know-- how's eternity sound? - [in bad british accent] stop, charlie. this game has gone on long enough. [in normal accent] uh, shit. - are you doing an accent? - yeah, i was doing a british acc--it was a british accent. - that was british?. - yeah, i had it so good in my head-- i was doing a really good british accent. doesn't matter. anyway... charlie, you think you have all the power? well, you don't. you see, the only thing bigger than a king is a god.
- you think you're a god? i'm the one who's thriving, dennis. i mean, look at me. - you look like you're covered in hawaiian punch. - yeah? - yeah. - mm. - i am the god of my own universe, charlie. i decide my own reality, and i've decided all of your realities as well. so, you see, i unplugged it. - you...unplugged reality? - i don't understand what he's saying. - me neither. - i just--i deleted all of your characters from the game. - what? - i erased all your...people. - h-how did you do that? - well, it was easy. you guys all have the same password: "paddyspub." - oh, that's my password for everything. - mine too. - why would you do that, though? why would you delete our characters? - because the goddamn game was irritating to me. i thought it was really stupid, and it really is just, you know, sort of that simple, so i ended the game, you know. that's the end. doesn't have to be a whole big thing every single time. you know, that's life. that's just sort of how-- how shit goes. [chuckles] sometimes things just sort of... end.
from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with jon stewart. captioning sponsored by comedy central ["the colbert report" theme music["daily show" theme song playing] dhawz. [cheers and applause] >> jon: welcome to "the daily show". my name is jon stewart. we have a very nice program for you tonight. my guest ambassador to to unitee united nations susan rice is here. we don't know how we got her on the program but perhaps it's a valentine's wish. want to give a quick shout out to the lovers out there some of whom are clearly lying.
all the lovers that thought it might be a good idea to take their significant other on the cruise for the holiday and ended up stranded at sea spending six days crapping into a plastic bag or as the germans call that, the love boat. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] cnn has been on the case for some reason giving this boat crisis wall to (bleep) covered wall coverage treating a stalled cruise ship like it's the shackleton expedition. >> it's a great moment to visually connect you to the daughter you have not seen in seven days. >> jon: yeah, you are not heros, guys. it's not a hostage situation or a baby in a well. you reconnected them. they weren't supposed to see each other. she's on a cruise for a few days. [ laughter ]
meanwhile, the ship of stool enjoys 24/7 coverage and a slow tug job back to mobile, alabama, while other stories remain remarkably under the radar. >> heads of state and leaders from 57 islamic countries excluding syria are in the two day capital for the meeting. >> jon: interesting but are they (bleep) in bags? if they are not -- i see it's the oic. not as catchy as islamapalooza but it will do. [ laughter ] are you getting that? all right. the oic led by secretary general ekmeleddin ihsanoglu or as his
friends call him -- yeah. they say how walking off private plan planes is for chumps. check that bad boy out. escalators out of planes. let me tell you something, you think that's cool? nobody outlazies america. that's how you get off a plane in the muslim world. guess how we're going to get off planes from now on? what is up bitches. [ laughter ] what is up, bitches. [ laughter ] but for middle east watchers, the biggest news was the participation of iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad the first time an iranian head of state visited egypt in more than 30 years. >> for morp than three decades
they stayed away. many expect a cordial relationship between iran and egypt but not one where they are best friends. >> jon: they are not going to be besties. friend of a friend like a friend's college roommate. you are cool with each other except you like the eagle and he like the giants except replace the eagles with you believe in the holocaust -- bless you wikipedia. not everyone in egypt feels the same way with the iranian leader. >> a protester threw his shoe at ahmadinejad. >> the shoe didn't connect. it hit a security guard. >> that security guard, it has been reported now has athlete's face. [laughter] you know, i imagine that
throwing your shoe at a leader is not an easy crime to get away with. who threw that? ahhh -- [laughter] clearly this conference deserves the attention, if not the world, at least basic cable. [ laughter ] so john oliver sat down with ioc general ihsanoglu to learn mow. >> yesterday i had the opportunity to sit down with the secretary general of the oic, the man who has the ear of every head of state in the islamic world and beyond. what pay chance to understand the subtle intercaseys of entire muslim world. congratulations of your recent summit. >> thank you. it went very well. >> you serve as the voice of islamic countries. >> that's right. that's by the virtue of the charter. >> what does that voice sound
like? does it sound like ahh i'm going to (bleep) kill you. ahhh. i'm going to kill your family? arrgh? because occasionally that is how it request come across to us. [laughter] >> well, the voice which you kindly imitated is a voice of marginal groups but the voice of masses, the voice of one and a half million people is the voice of moderation. >> it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to repair america's relationship with the muslim world and what better way to start than with brutal honesty. here is the problem with america and the islamic world. we don't know what to do. okay? we tried everything. we tried special envoys. we've tried interventions, we've tried wars. we've tried giving you money, not giving you money. i'm just trying to understand what the islamic world wants
from america. it's literally never occurred to us to ask you this question before. >> take the problem of terrorism. if you think that killing terrorists are the solution to solve the problem of terrorism, they then we are the problem. >> that might be what we think. >> when you kill one terrorist you breed ten terrorists. >> right sometimes it feels a bit like whack a mole. you whack one another one turns up somewhere else. they are in iraq, whack, now they are in syria, whack. now they are in malley. where is mali? >> there's a need to have a comprehensive outlook and to deal with the problems and the short history of using the wrongs against terrorists. there's been certain measured
mistakes by killing innocent civilian people. >> people don't want the drones then? >> you have to care for the legal ethics, it's not only that your pushing your own national interests. >> it's clear human rights infraction and it has to stop. >> so no drones. of course. every good relationship has to be based on an ability to listen to one another. >> this is where we as oic are trying to explain to the whole world that we need to have open communications channels to understand each other. >> okay, so this is a peace pillow. okay? now, whenever somebody is holding this it's a safe space and they get to say what they like about the other culture. okay. i'll go first. we sometimes find you frustrating because sometimes
you blame us for things that happened a long time ago and you've got long memories and you remember too many things. okay, so now you go. >> well, i think the muslim world is frustrated sometimes with the united states because it does not understand the problems of the muslim world. the image of the united states invading iraq, ininvitedding afghanistan, et cetera. >> all right, okay. >> i want to make reference to two things. in the first when president obama was first integrated i probably -- >> okay, okay. >> i have the pillow, please allow me to continue. [ laughter ] this is the best ideas and expectations and we hope that the president is -- >> you can be very annoying because we find it hard to read
you and you should listen to us as well because i feel like it doesn't happen much. after hours of intense discussion finally a breakthrough. we found the one area that would fix iferg instantly. >> one important idea. this is the issue of muslim world. the palestinian issue need it's be solved. this is really the most sensitive issue that needs the care of the administration. >> that is great. so all we have to do to build a relationship with the islamic world is solve the arab israeli conflict. >> i think that would be a major contribution. >> we had done it and now toll seal our historic agreement in the traditional manner and then bang. bang, up top. pound it out. and blow it up. >> thank you. >> maybe not the um, otherwise
we're good. hasel tof. >> my pleasure.
>> jon: welcome back tonight she's the united states ambassador to the united nations. please welcome back to the
program ambassador susan rice. ambassador -- [cheers and applause] how are you? >> i'm great how are you? >> jon: doing very well. last i saw you, you were epitomizing the focal point of opposition rage towards the administration. how does that feel? >> feels good to be out of the hot spot. >> jon: it was. so you had to go on the sunday shows on i guess it was september 16, after the september 11 attack in ben ghazi and -- benghazi. why did you have to do that? you are the ambassador of the united nationses? shouldn't it be someone else? >> actually, jon i spent maybe a sunday doing the shows. secretary clinton was asked to do it. having been through quite a
pretty intense week with the loss of our colleagues in benghazi, the violence against our embassies all over the arab and muslim world and that friday having to join president obama in grieving the families of fallen colleagues and bringing their bodies back. i was asked as i've been in the past and i said i would. >> jon: they hand you a -- they give you a sheet and say this is what happened? >> what happened in this particular instance is -- in all instances when you prepare you go through the background materials ant prep tory process. >> jon: so you prepare for the sunday shows? >> yes. >> jon: i've seen the sunday shows. [laughter] so what was the -- on that day, the basic point was as far as we know this is related to demonstration based on ape -- on
a movie. we think there might be extremists involved. we don't know the whole thing yet. >> i shared the basic information our intelligence community had. they were wrong in one respect we learned subsequently. we learned there wasn't a protest. >> jon: many were testified. they are holding up hagel's confirmation because they would like more information about benghazi like while the president call the individuals involved while it was going on? i think. i did not prepare for this so i'm not sure. >> you know, jon, there's been some 20 briefings of members and staff. there's ten hearings on this topic and 10,000 documents, more than 10,000 documents provided to congress. there's ample opportunities to understand what is going on.
>> jon: can i tell you the problem? too many documents. >> maybe. >> jon: here is my opinion. there's an undercountry of what the -- undercurrent from the republicans that suggests a malevolent of this. here is what strikes me as odd. you get talking points on november 16. patreaus told congress the c.i.a. didn't change the talking points. white house and state said they didn't do it. white house told the news changes were made because they pt didn't want al qaeda tipped off and the director of national intelligence said they made the changes because the al qaeda links were too tenuous. then they said the f.b.i. did it and the morrell said i did say f.b.i. i didn't mean f.b.i. i meant c.i.a. and then panetta said he believed at the time it was a preplanned terrorist atafnlg you can see for people it looks like there's a great deal of confusion there, yes?
>> there's always confusion when you have a tragedy of that sort and americans are killed. the bigger, tragedy, though, jon, is we spent all of these months trying to figure out origin of talking points which were cleared at the highest levels of the intelligence community. in my opinion, not enough time doing the service we owe to our fallen colleagues. >> jon: this gets to my point though. this gets to my point. [cheers and applause] i think that's a great point. but this gets to my point. in the leadup to the talking points, there's a lot of people pouring over what you are going to say? c.i.a. is saying take out the word al qaeda put in the word extremists. there's passed up and down the chain to solidify what should be said during that period. that bow correct? >> yes, really over the weekend.
>> jon: fascinating conversation. it endedptlyruptly>> jon: here f
it and then it will be on the web after that. [laughter] there's a lot of different agencies involved. they are page a great deal of attention to it. when i watched the testimony of hillary clinton they said to her, the ambassador to libya sent an e-mail saying, i need more security. and she said, yes, i didn't see that one. it struck me how much attention was being paid to what should be said about this yet very little attention was paid to that e-mail. why is there a bureaucratic system in place so tenacious with the explanation but yet seemingly abdicates a little bit of responsibility for the initial thing. would you say it's a fair comparison? >> here is what i would say, jon. we have brave americans, men and women serving in our diplomatic posts all over the world. many of them in very dangerous
places. they do that at great risk and great sacrifice. >> jon: sure. >> tragically we have attacks and we lose americans. we have an accountability review board. the independent panel that is appointed to investigate exactly what went wrong. we had that in this instance. former ambassador and admiral mike mullen. they found a lot of things had gone wrong well. respect to security provisions. with respect to communications within the state department, all of that they made recommendations for how it ought to be rectified. we ought to focus on what went wrong, why it wrong and how we get it right. >> jon: i get what you are saying. do you think rather than the bureaucracy this, goes throughout washington is more tenacious and detail oriented when it comes to the political aspects of their jobs and sometimes less efficacious when
it comes to some of the more brass nuts and bolts things. >> i don't think so. look, folks were doing their very best with what they had and it wasn't good enough. >> jon: do you feel good about the changes being made? do you feel they are being made and implemented. >> secretary clinton as she testified in her last week in office has been cleared that the state department is committed to implementing every one of those recommendations. that needs to be followed up and ensured it happens. i work with these men and women every day. >> jon: sure. >> they are committed, patriotic americans. they are not lazy. they are not political. they are career servants. they feel it more than anybody when it's their colleagues who get lost and killed. in this instance as in the past we'll do our best to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> jon: what is the morale like in those institutions that feel that loss and feel like
they didn't do the right job? how are they doing with that? and is there concern for that amongst those folks? >> there's a sense that this issue was politicized. >> jon: right. >> we've lost what matters most. how do we protect our people going forward. the president has been clear his top priority is protect americans whether their depp mats, serving in the armed forces wherever they are around the world. that's what we have to focus on. >> jon: if you had a thing to say to those who still believe there's a secret under this and are pushing for it and holding things up what would you say to them and please feel free to take like a sailor, if you want. [ laughter ] -- talk like a sailor, if you want. just saying feel free i don't mean vulgarity i mean only
nautical terms. >> they are dead wrong. >> jon: they are dead wrong. >> they are dead wrong and doing a disservice to those we l

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Pearse Hotel Dublin
A deal, but a bit off the main. If you don't mind a 20 minute walk every day to get to the city center, then not bad.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews The Pearse Hotel Dublin
Anyone who has stayed here, will agree with me that is a very RUN-DOWN part of town.
When complaining that this hotel has a lot of street noise, I was told that "There are many Platinum Club members who stay here" and there is nothing we can do for you. "(There is a very noisy pub across the street). Couldn't care less about long-time Holiday Inn users.
Be aware: This is in a very run-down part of town..away from all tourist sights.
Recommendations" Pay more and stay closer to tourists-sights. You will be glad that you did.
Comfortable & clean but a little out of the City Centre.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Dublin City Centre for a pre-Chistmas shopping weekend. Externally it's not as large as you might expect. A street-front, three storey modern building, seemingly around 10 years old, it blends well with its much older 3 storey Victorian neighbours. On entering the hotel, you'll find that the ground floor has a characterless bar with large plasma screen TV and an adjoining function room. There is a small lobby, the walls of which are covered with photos of small-time entertainers of the 'working-mens club' genre who apparently have played in the function suite of the hotel. The two nights we were there (albeit in the run-up to Christmas) there were office parties galore enjoying the floorshow in the function room and loud music audibly played until after 2am. Perhaps however that is a seasonal problem - although the lobby photograph gallery might suggest otherwise! The rooms are very spacious & spotlessly clean, and seemingly recently refurbished. Bathrooms are of a good size with plenty of towels. The drapes, furniture, bedding, decor and carpets were tasteful and pristine. Meals are rather 'bar snack' fodder and served in the bar. There is no seperate restaurant. It's therefore wise to eat out - perhaps in the Temple Bar area which has restaurants of all sorts to choose from. The hotel is around 10 minutes walk from O'Connell Street and Grafton Street (the two main shopping thoroughfares). The hotel itself is out along Pearce Street - a shabby Victorian arterial route into the city - (near Pearce St Railway Station) - not the most salubriuos part of town - but we found perfectly safe to walk. For the less energetic, a taxi ride to / from Temple Bar (a must-see quaint cobbled area packed with pubs & restaurants) or Grafton Street is around 6 Euro. A taxi from airport is around 35 Euro. The hop-on-hop-off city bus tour is great value for a whole day of sightseeing and takes you to everywhere you need to see. It's run by Dublinbus. Nearest City-Tour stop is just at the top of Grafton Street. Overall the Holiday Inn is a good base to stay for above average accomodation - particularly if you can secure a cut-price deal with advance internet booking. The only drawbacks being the lack of 'proper' restaurant; it's off the beaten track location and the propensity for the function room to host loud events - audible to us on the third floor.
A short bus ride to town
We purchased the 5-day rambler and a bus came by every 20 minutes or so, otherwise, it's a good walk to city center.
The room was nice, the staff of Eastern European extraction and friendly. We only had breakfast there and it was good.
If major soccer games are on TV, the bar seems to draw a large local crowd. I would not hesitate to recommend it. We were there for five days in November 2004.
Not Dublin City Centre
Main problem is the hotel location - at least a 10 minute walk from the main tourist areas.
Otherwise fairly standard Holiday Inn although on arrival all our rooms were not available till well past the 4pm check in time, with no explanation or apology.
Restaurant a bit basic with quite high prices in the bar
Good for a Family
Stayed here on the bank holiday weekend in May. Rooms were quiet, clean and good sized for a family of four. Staff were all very friendly and the restaurant was basic but fine. The location is good as long as you don't mind a 10 minute walk to the main tourist areas. We always felt safe walking in the early evening and enjoyed our stay here.
Nice..but don't use the Internet
Euro 850.00 for 3 days local internet access at this hotel! As a business traveller and a Priority Club member I am used to having free local calls at Holiday Inns - its a perk. On a stay at this hotel I was charged 850.00 euros for three days local Internet access calls, and no indication in the room that local calls were anything from 1.50 to 4 Euro's a minute. I complained, two months later they said they would credit half of it, 6 months later I am still waiting for the credit.
Don't expect to sleep well, the noise from the street is exesssive. I found the staff cold and impersonal. Totally unlike any Holiday Inn I have stayed at in any other country worldwide.
It was great
We really enjoyed our time here. It was clean, the staff was extremely helpful, the restaurant was great. Construction was going on next door while we were there and we had trouble sleeping. We called and spoke with the manager and were shown to a quieter room very quickly.
Not great but not bad either
Stayed there 12/2003
Not a great area of Dublin. quite loud (at least the room I had).
Breakfast wasn't anything special.
Staff was friendly and helpful. It seemed clean enough.
Wouldn't stay there again unless the price was really, good given so many choices for hotels.
Dangerous little area..BEWARE!!!
Hotel's rooms were spacious but dirty. Bar food was ridiculously priced for small portions but worst of all, staff did not care about customers and hotel was in ghetto area of Dublin. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!
Not exactly City Centre
Was there 8/2003. A walk to the main parts of town - about 5 to 10 minutes. And not in a great area to walk home at night after having a few pints in Temple Bar - had to take a cab. Room was average hotel room - two double beds which is a rarity we found while traveling Ireland. Food in the bar was a little pricey, and the bar smelt as though you were sitting in the kitchen next to the deep fryer. If you get this at a cheap rate, go for it. If not spend the extra few bucks and stay closer to the action (Jury's Inn Christchurch is good).

In the sixth month of his second term, President Obama is still putting his national security team together and trying to figure out what he wants to do during the remainder of his presidency.
So far, Mr. Obama, who spends much, if not most, of his time delivering speeches and not much else, doesn't seem to have a clue. He has become the "podium president," who has no policy-focused, comprehensive agenda to speak of, except that he knows he doesn't want to deal with the economy, which is now clearly in decline.
While polls show the economy remains the No. 1 concern of the American people, it's deliberately become "the quiet crisis" in Mr. Obama's government — unheralded, unspoken, unnoticed and untreated. No one talks about it, least of all the Democrats up on Capitol Hill.
The question of where to find a well-paying, full-time job in this economy has become far less important in this administration than who can win the message wars on any given week, or how we can ride out the scandals that now threaten to engulf his presidency.
At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, a battery of committees and subcommittees are holding hearings on a range of administration scandals that fall under the rubric of "abuse of power."
House lawmakers heard testimony this past week from ordinary Americans who have formed local, conservative, good-government groups and who said the Internal Revenue Service demanded to know the names of political people with whom they've been in contact, and wanted copies of speeches they've given and a list of their donors. These were only some of the disturbing inquiries that seemed to threaten their constitutional right to freedom of speech and for "the redress of grievances."
The IRS made no such inquiries into liberal nonprofit groups that were similarly seeking tax-exempt status.
Elsewhere, lawmakers are digging more deeply into Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.'s dubious claim that he had no role in the administration's alarming search of a Fox News reporter's emails — when numerous public reports say he signed off on the Justice Department's order.
Now we learn that the government's top-secret National Security Agency is collecting the telephone records of tens of millions of Verizon customers as a result of a court order issued in April.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is busily preparing to put into full gear next year the president's health care program, which will authorize the IRS to slap tax penalties on millions of Americans who do not obtain health insurance. Small businesses that do not provide medical insurance for their employees will be liable, too.
Is it any wonder that 56 percent of Americans recently said in a Gallup poll that "the federal government today has too much power"? Look for that number to shoot up in the 2014 midterm congressional election campaigns.
A little more than a week ago, the national news media was hyperbolic over the news that home prices were rising in many metropolitan areas, as were home sales — declaring that this was proof-positive of a more robust economy.
Left unreported, though, was the fact that home sales remain far below their highs before the subprime home mortgage collapse, and that they have had only minimal impact on economic growth.
University of Maryland business economist Peter Morici reminds us that home sales at higher prices only impact [gross domestic product] and employment to the extent they drive up consumer spending and new home construction.
However, consumer spending is weakening, and even though homebuilding is up, "housing construction is only 3 percent of GDP," Mr. Morici points out. "Bottom line: A more robust economy can drive housing, but surging housing prices are no panacea for what ails the economy and jobs market."

A continuous-flow bubble column reactor for biodiesel production by non-catalytic transesterification
ABSTRACT A continuous-flow bubble column reactor for biodiesel production by non-catalytic transesterification of triglycerides has been developed. The principle of a bubble column reactor for transesterification is similar to reactive distillation, where the reaction products in the gas phase are continuously removed from the reactive zone, while oil, as the reactant, is retained in the reactive zone (liquid phase). A dedicated laboratory-scale continuous-flow bubble column reactor, with a predetermined 200 mL liquid volume of palm oil in the reactor, has been used for this study. In this study, the effects of the methanol feed flow rates (1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 mL/min) and reaction temperatures (250, 270, and 290 °C) on the biodiesel productivity and methyl esters content in the biodiesel product were evaluated. The biodiesel productivity increased with MeOH feed flow rate and reaction temperature correspondingly. On the other hand, the purity of the methyl ester in the biodiesel product decreased.

- "(bubble column-type reactor) is widely used and known for the synthesis of methanol and fuels [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]. Although the geometry of the bubble column reactors is simple, the study of which is often complicated since these reactors use multiphase flows. "
ABSTRACT: The hydrodynamics of an air–water flow in a column has been analyzed. The reactor consisted of a vertical column of 0.055 m diameter and 0.255 m height, made of acrylic to achieve good visualization of the bubbles. The column was partially packed with solid cylindrical pellets. The study was focused on the region above the packed zone in three vertical positions. Measurements of velocity in ascendant flow direction were conducted at each position using laser Doppler anemometry. Velocities along the column diameter were experimentally determined for two liquids flow, 300 and 600 L/h. Two conditions of Reynolds number were obtained, Re: 8.3 and 16.7 × 103 based on inlet pipe diameter and water properties. The results show that the size and shape of the bubbles become smaller and uniform when the column was packed. Experimental measurements of the velocity were difficult to determine when the Re was higher (Re > 17 × 103). Also, the velocity profile showed instability of the flow, mainly in the near packed region. However, an average value of the velocity could be observed as function of the inlet condition.Desalination and water treatment 07/2014; DOI:10.1080/19443994.2014.939876 · 1.17 Impact Factor
Article: Biodiesel production via injection of superheated methanol technology at atmospheric pressure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this high demand of renewable energy market, biodiesel was extensively produced via various catalytic and non-catalytic technologies. Conventional catalytic transesterification for biodiesel production has been shown to have limitation in terms of sensitivity to high water and free fatty acid, complicated separation and purification of biodiesel. In this study, an alternative and innovative approach was carried out via non-catalytic superheated methanol technology to produce biodiesel. Similar to supercritical reaction, the solvent need to be heated beyond the critical temperature but the reactor pressure remained at 0.1 MPa (atmospheric pressure). Transesterification reaction with superheated methanol was carried out at different reaction temperature within the limit of 270-300 degrees C and at different methanol flow rate ranging from 1 ml/min to 3 ml/min for 4 h. Results obtained showed that the highest biodiesel yield at 71.54% w/w was achieved at reaction temperature 290 degrees C and methanol flow rate at 2 ml/min with 88.81% w/w FAME content, implying the huge potential of superheated technology in producing FAME.
