Surprisingly, belfry does not come from bell, and early belfries did not contain bells at all. Belfry comes from berfrey, a medieval term for a wooden tower used in sieges. The structure could be rolled up to a fortification wall so that warriors hidden inside could storm the battlements. Over time, the term was applied to other types of shelters and towers, many of which had bells in them. Through association, people began spelling berfrey as bellfrey, then as belfrey and later belfry. On a more metaphorical note, someone who has "bats in the belfry" is crazy or eccentric. This phrase is responsible for the use of bats for "crazy" ("Are you completely bats?") and the occasional use of belfry for "head" ("He's not quite right in the belfry").
First Known Use: 15th century

A cowboy without a good pair of Wrangler jeans is like George Strait without a hat: still the iconic figure we know and love, but not quite complete. Since 1947, Wrangler has been a Western wear staple. But the next time you slip on your perfectly worn in pair of denim duds, you should give thanks to Bernard "Rodeo Ben" Lichtenstein, the "Polish cowboy" who birthed the official cowboy uniform.
Denim Destiny
In the early 1940s, the Blue Bell clothing company was looking to appeal to a new market. So they called on Rodeo Ben, a tailor from Lodz, Poland who had earned the trust of rodeo cowboys. Ben already had a successful retail store, Rodeo Ben's in Philadelphia, where he stayed busy slinging eye-catching Western attire to cowboys and country stars. The shop was known as "the East's most Western store."
Rodeo Ben's camaraderie with the cowboys helped him design the perfect jean for the rodeo. In 1947, cowboys Jim Shoulders, Bill Linderman and Freckles Brown tested out the new 13MWZ jeans, now known as the "Cowboy Cut." According to G. Daniel DeWeese, a Western wear historian and author of "Western Shirts: A Classic American Fashion," Rodeo Ben's long-rise fit allowed cowboys easier movement in the saddle. The back pockets also sat higher so cowboys wouldn't sit on their wallets when riding and the belt loops were lengthened to allow for heavier belts and large trophy belt buckles.
The jeans were the newest craze in denim fashion on the rodeo circuit and beyond. The company once known as Blue Bell became forever known as Wrangler. For years, every tag inside each pair of Wranglers read, "designed by Rodeo Ben, custom cowboy tailor."
Country Music 'Jeanology'
In 1948, champion rodeo cowboy Jim Shoulders signed on to endorse the brand. Less than three decades later, Wrangler became the first and only western wear brand to be endorsed by the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with the west.
Those mega-80s "Here Comes Wrangler" television ads certainly didn't hurt.
But it wasn't just rodeo cowboys (or those that played them on TV) who were eager to don the denim. Willie Nelson appeared in a series of Wrangler ads in the mid-80s.
But the country star most associated with the brand is undoubtedly George Strait. In 1992, Wrangler supplied the clothes for the cast of the Strait-led movie "Pure Country." King George is still the face of Wrangler and even lent his name to the "George Strait Cowboy Cut Collection," a line of jeans and button-down western shirts.
Without Rodeo Ben and those famous stitched W's, country music style might look a whole lot different.
Today, Rodeo Ben's designs can be found in the Pro-Rodeo Hall of Fame, the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum and on cowboys and cowgirls everywhere.

40 miles out to the lake and back with Ian, both on our Titanium road bikes. I was on my Singular Firebird,
and Ian on his De Rosa Titanio.
It was bloody hot, I ran out of water, and by the time I got home was struggling to turn the pedals. However a cold shower, chocolate milk and bacon rolls soon cured that.
Some post-ride fettling has hopefully cured the annoying rattle from the back-end of the bike. Looks like some ham-fisted idiot didn't fit the 12T sprocket correctly when he built the bike, and therefore the cassette was slightly loose.

John M. Adkins/Ginsey Lumkin, VA, 1800's
From information recently gleaned,I believe that my g.g.g.grandfather John A. Adkins, born in Franklin or Halifax County, VA, in 1804, could be the son of John M. Adkins and Ginsey (Patsy?) Lumkin/Lumpkin...possible daughter of a William Lumkin and Ann Courtney.
Children listed for John M. Adkins/Atkins and Patsy/Ginsey Lumkin are:
James,b. 1800?(m. Mary?)
Henry,b. 1795?(m. Elizabeth?)
Pleasant, b. abt. 1803? (m. Polly Freeman)
John A., born 1804, Franklin Co. VA (m. Susannah Meador Oct. 6, 1830)...my ancestors!
John M. Adkins is possibly the son of Amos Atkins/Adkins.Amos was born in England, married a Chickasaw Indian woman, and died in Franklin Co. VA.
I have no dates available regarding births or deaths for Amos Atkins or John M. Adkins, and am hoping that someone will recognize this family and its ancestry/ descendancy. The timing would be right for Amos to have served in the Revolutionary War from Virginia.
Any new information gleaned on this family would be very much appreciated, regarding proofs, such as wills or probate records. I have the 1850 census for John A. Adkins and Susannah "Susan" Meador, Franklin Co., VA, but as we know, earlier census records do not reveal family listings.
Sincerely, Linda Siekman

The Sonoma County Sheriff's deputy who shot and killed 13-year-old Andy Lopez in Santa Rosa in 2013 has been promoted to sergeant, a sheriff's spokesman said Friday.
Erick Gelhaus, a 26-year department veteran, was promoted in May after taking part in a competitive, civil service process, Sgt. Spencer Crum said.
The move, approved by Sheriff Steve Freitas, came about 2½ years after the controversial shooting that sparked protests about police use of force and calls for civilian oversight of law enforcement agencies. Gelhaus was cleared of wrongdoing following a lengthy investigation.
With the promotion, Gelhaus, 51, received a pay boost from $49.19 to $55 per hour. He made about $124,000, including overtime, in 2015, according to county records.
Gelhaus was "highly qualified" and "ranked highly on our list" of deputies eligible for promotion to sergeant, Crum said.
He was previously a field training officer, firearms instructor and is an Iraq War veteran.
In the new position, he supervises eight to 10 deputies patrolling central Sonoma County.
A request to interview Gelhaus was declined by Crum, who said the sergeant could not speak about his promotion while a lawsuit filed by Lopez's parents is pending against him, the county and the Sheriff's Office. The suit claims Gelhaus was negligent in the fatal shooting.
His promotion drew criticism from community activists who have been critical of the Sheriff's Office in the wake of Lopez's death. The North Bay Organizing Project posted on Facebook this week that the Sheriff's Office promoted an "openly white supremacist cop." The group's director, Susan Shaw, said the system failed to hold him accountable for killing a Latino child.
"It's an affront to our community," Shaw said.
Crum said Freitas expected unhappiness from some over the promotion. But Freitas thinks a majority of the public wants him to abide by rules allowing employees to pursue career advancement, Crum said.
"Providing opportunities for his members to promote is not only moral duty, but a legal and human right," Crum said. "He followed the law, rules and policy by promoting Sgt. Gelhaus, and he refused to treat him any differently than any other deputy who tested for the position."
Gelhaus' duties include a mix of field and desk work. Like other sergeants, he'll oversee in-progress calls and also approve daily reports, conduct employee evaluations and handle scheduling, Crum said.
Shaw said Gelhaus should not be managing deputies.
"How scary is that?" Shaw said. "That he's out in the neighborhood and he's supervising people? It is not OK."
Freitas was on vacation Friday and unavailable to comment, Crum said. Efren Carrillo, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, declined to comment, deferring to the Sheriff's Office on what he described as a "personnel matter."
Lopez, an eighth-grader at Cook Middle School, was shot and killed by Gelhaus in October 2013, as he walked along a southwest Santa Rosa street carrying an airsoft BB gun resembling an AK-47. Gelhaus said he mistook the replica for a real firearm and shot Lopez when the youth turned toward him.
A plastic orange tip identifying the gun as non-lethal had been removed.
Arnoldo Casillas, the attorney representing Lopez's parents in their lawsuit, did not return a call Friday seeking comment.

Amber is the fossilized resin secreted from trees. Living things imprisoned millions of years ago inside the resin secreted from trees in the Dominican forests have been preserved in exactly the same form right down to the present day by literally being mummified as the resin solidified.
In chemical terms, resin is made up of different organic substances. It is insoluble in water but solidifies very quickly in contact with the air. The polymerization process (monomer molecules entering into chemical reaction in order to give rise to three-dimensional chains) begins and the resin remains in solid form for millions of years. Any living thing that resin pours over remains in that exact same form, totally unchanging, for millions of years.

allocation authority package announced this week by the Treasury's
Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. USBCDE is one of only
76 community development entities among 263 applicants that received
allocation authority.
CDEs use allocation authority to attract private sector investments in
disadvantaged communities that lack access to the long-term investment
needed to support and grow businesses and create jobs. The program is an
efficient and effective mechanism for infusing up-front capital in areas
that need it most.
"This award of New Markets Tax credit authority will help us provide
much needed gap financing to businesses in disadvantaged communities
across the nation," said Matt Philpott, senior vice president of U.S.
Bancorp Community Development Corporation, the community investment
subsidiary of U.S. Bank. "NMTCs have become a valuable resource for
targeted job creation and generating business activity in hard-hit
communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to put the tax credit
to work, transforming communities and enriching lives."
In addition to being an efficient tool for driving capital to
underserved markets, the program also spurs economic development. Since
its inception, the NMTC program has created or retained nearly 600,000
jobs and supported the construction of more than 160 million square feet
of manufacturing, office and retail space in low-income communities
across the country.
Prior to this award, USBCDE received six allocations totaling $600
million, 99% of which have been utilized. To date, USBCDE has partnered
with 69 other CDEs to raise more than $2 billion for nearly 100
community development initiatives in 36 states.
Some of the diverse businesses and developments that USBCDE has financed
with its allocation awards include soybean processor AG Processing Inc.
of Dawson, Minn.; the nation's first environmentally friendly
electronics waste recycling center (in Osceola, Ark.); Evergreen
Cooperative Laundry in Cleveland, Ohio; and the open-air commercial
marketplace Mercado San Augustin in Tucson, Ariz.

Creation of Sailfish Royalty Corp. to Unlock Shareholder Value
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 26, 2014) - Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MLN)(OTCQX:MLNGF) ("Marlin" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the creation of Sailfish Royalty Corp. ("Sailfish"). Sailfish will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marlin, domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. It is anticipated that the shares of Sailfish will eventually be distributed to Marlin shareholders, with Sailfish becoming a separate publicly traded company. Initially, Sailfish will be populated with a gold stream entitling it to purchase 25% of the gold produced from Marlin's La Trinidad mine located in Sinaloa, Mexico, at US$1,150 per troy ounce1 for the next 40 years.
With production at La Trinidad scheduled to commence in the next few days, it is our sole focus to see our share price reflect the underlying value of our assets. To achieve this objective, Sailfish's goal will be to capture the significant market valuation difference between royalty/streaming companies and operating companies.
It is contemplated that Sailfish will distribute at least 90% of its operating cash flow to investors, and its business objective will be to substantially grow its dividend per share over time while maintaining full exposure to precious metals.
Golden Reign Gold Stream Acquisition Adds Third Party Stream with Marlin's Oversight
Marlin has also agreed to a binding letter of intent, subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence and the receipt of all regulatory and stock exchange approvals, to acquire a significant gold stream on Golden Reign Resources Ltd.'s (TSX VENTURE:GRR) ("Golden Reign") San Albino gold deposit and surrounding areas in Nicaragua. For a purchase price of US$15 million, Sailfish will be entitled to purchase 40% of gold production at US$700 per troy ounce1 until the first US$19.6 million2 is recovered by Sailfish, and 20% of gold production at $700 per troy ounce3 thereafter. Prior to commercial production, Sailfish will be entitled to receive an 8% semi-annual coupon payment on the purchase price from Golden Reign.
Marlin has made it a closing condition to analyze a full suite of geological, geotechnical and metallurgical information from Golden Reign at our own fully-equipped laboratory in Mexico. We have also taken measures to make sure that it will be our operating team overseeing the mine construction for the benefit of Sailfish and the shareholders of Golden Reign and Marlin. It has been agreed, subject to exchange and regulatory approvals, that Marlin will take a 19.9% interest in Golden Reign by purchasing 21.3 million shares for approximately $3.2 million. John Brownlie (CEO and Director of Marlin) and Akiba Leisman (Director of Marlin) will each take board seats at Golden Reign upon closing the transaction.
It is expected that the capital required to complete this transaction will be raised through an equity offering once Marlin has successfully completed its due diligence on Golden Reign. In addition, Marlin has begun the process of applying for graduation to the Toronto Stock Exchange from the TSX Venture Exchange, and we will propose to our shareholders a 1 for 10 share consolidation at our next AGM.
Sonoran Resources Joins Marlin's Team Adding Scalability to Our Operations
Marlin is also pleased to announce that Sonoran Resources, LLC ("Sonoran") will be the nominated engineering, procurement and construction management ("EPCM") firm that will be responsible for permitting and building the San Albino project. Jesse Muñoz, President of Sonoran, was the Manager, New Project Development at Eldorado Gold Corp., responsible for building and operating La Trinidad in the 1990's, and has deep and extensive experience building small scale assets in the Americas cheaply and efficiently.
Sonoran was also the EPCM firm responsible for building Silvercrest Mines Inc.'s Santa Elena project as well as McEwen Mining Inc.'s El Gallo Phase I, both in Mexico. Furthermore, Sonoran is one of the few engineering firms that have senior engineers with direct operating experience in Nicaragua.
Jesse Muñoz and Cecile Muñoz, both principals of Sonoran, will take board seats at Marlin replacing Richard ("Ritch") Hall and Anthony ("Tony") Hawkshaw. Akiba Leisman will serve as Chairman of the Board going forward. We would like to thank Ritch and Tony for their service over the last 18 months.
Marlin and Sailfish will continue to look for accretive opportunities, and we firmly believe that Marlin is positioned to execute on these opportunities as they present themselves.
About Marlin Gold
Marlin Gold is a publicly-listed company on the TSX Venture Exchange with properties located in Sinaloa and Zacatecas, Mexico. Marlin's priority is to advance its properties toward production and enhance shareholder value through financial optimization. The La Trinidad property, which hosts the Taunus gold deposit, is on track to be in production by end of February 2014. A NI 43-101 resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment for the Taunus deposit can be found at www.sedar.com or at www.marlingold.com. Sailfish Royalty Corp., Marlin's soon-to-be incorporated wholly-owned royalty and streaming business, will aim to unlock shareholder value by establishing a premium valuation on assets that Marlin develops and acquires.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as the term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

text: ROME — After eight years of work, scaffolding around the Colosseum is being removed. The arches that ring three of the four stories in the amphitheater's exterior wall were strengthened at a cost of $1 million. Resins were injected. Experts say that the one reason for the Colosseum's instability is 2,000 years of earthquake damage. Another is scavenging. Marble from the interior was removed for use in other structures, including the Barberine Palace built under the direction of Pope Urban VIII in the 17th century.

"I don't get the chance to travel often and was unaware the I could park anywhere in the long stay car park. It would be helpful to newbys of the system if this was made clear in the documentation we are sent. As I sent a while driving around looking for the BCP sign, of which there is none."June 12, 2015
"No problems....thank you will use again"June 6, 2015
"Very convenient and plenty of parking spaces. Will use again."June 1, 2015
"Buses were fast and often, the place was cheap no problems."May 26, 2015
"Really pleased with how easy it was to park and get to the terminal from the long stay car park . Well recommended"May 25, 2015
"Excellent Service from Departure to Arrival. Not sure how good if pouring with rain though? ????"May 23, 2015
"On the whole we had a good experience: finding the car park, catching the shuttle bus to the terminal- all went well. On our return at midnight, the last thing we needed was a ticket machine at the exit refusing our prepaid ticket!
Fortunately we were able to exit at another machine."
"Everything worked fine but the pre-payment system for getting the car out again changed. You now have to go from arrivals to departures Hall A (turn right, there are few signs) and go to the general information desk, not a dedicated airport parking information desk as implied in the instructions, to get your ticket validated."May 18, 2015
"Excellent. Easy and straight forward. Customer service very helpful on phone when I called late to add car registration number"April 23, 2015
"Found a space in a few minutes right beside bus stop. Only had to wait a few minutes for bus to airport. Excellent service."April 13, 2015
"Good - arrangements worked well."December 28, 2014
"Have used this car park many times but it is easy to find anyway, never have to wait long for bus, driver cheerful. This time did not like having to get ticket authenticated in airport when leaving, this wastes time and if you are used to using your card to get out of barrier, you can easily be charged twice."November 21, 2014
"Everything was great and easy to do, except finding reception at airport to get ticket on return. Some signs would be great."November 11, 2014
"perfect on time"November 5, 2014
"Excellent value. A seamlessly efficient experience. Thank you."November 2, 2014
"Easy and simple to use, although it is a bit of a walk to the terminal, especially in the early hours of the morning, so I wouldn't recommend it to any one with mobility issues or dragging lots of luggage and small children. Would definitely use again, very competitive pricing and felt very safe."November 2, 2014
"We booked the long stay car park online and received very clear instructions on how to enter and exit. We arrived on friday afternoon and took a ticket on entry, parked and caught the bus to the terminal.
On our return we visited the parking information desk and gave them our reference number and had our ticked validated and returned by bus from outside the terminal to the car park .We popped our ticket into the machine, the barrier rose and we drove away.
It cost us £28 online which saved us £37 if my calculations are correct.
Really enjoyed our experience all round at Leeds Bradford Airport and would recommend it."
"Convenient, accessible, fast, efficient, value for money, friendly staff (all).
Would definitely recommend and use again!!"
"I'm afraid I didn't have a good experience parking the car. I feel the sign posting is poor and found it very confusing. Discovered when we got back to Leeds that we had the wrong ticket but the very helpful young man at the Information desk sorted it all out.
So actually finding the right car park was quite stressful in the dark at 5am but thank goodness for the young man at the desk. I would be wary of using this again."
"I found the parking a very stress free experience. It was easy to find and very close to the airport (on the airport grounds). The transfer bus dropped you in front of the entrance doors so there was no distance to walk at all. On leaving the help desk was easy to find to get the second ticket required to get out of the car park. The transfer bus was waiting for us when we walked out and we were at our car in three minuets. Using this service saved me around £40 on the cost if I had just parked the car in the same place using the ticket machines standard rate.
I will certainly use this service again any time I need airport parking.
Thank you."
"Very close to airport but had to drive quite a way in before we got a parking spot. The bus came as soon as we arrived at the bus stop and only took minutes to arrive to take us back on our return.
Will definitely use again next time and would recommend to others."
"Directions provided made it easy to find the car park. We unloaded the car and it was only a minutes walk to the bus stop, where a bus turned up in a matter of minutes and dropped us right outside the terminal. On our return it took us a little while to figure out where to get our ticket validated as we were looking for a specific car park info desk rather than just the general information desk. But once we had worked that out the lady at the desk was helpfully,quick and efficient - just what you need after a long flight. Again only waited a matter of minutes for the courtesy bus and back to the car in no time. The car park spaces were large, I have a large, wide car and there was still plenty of space to get the doors fully open and I wasn't worried that someone might ding my car with their doors."October 10, 2014
"All was fine apart from the lack of a transport bus so we ended up walking both ways, good job it wasn't raining."October 9, 2014
"We ended up having to pay £60 to get off the car park, despite having pre-paid. The security and car park staff at Leeds are not able to deal with the arrangements offered by this company and do not appear to be aware of them. Be very very careful and make sure you bring and read your e mail confirmation."October 7, 2014
"A very smooth experience and would definitely use this parking service again"October 6, 2014
"First time we have used this parking as normally we go to Sentinel when flying from LBA
Obviously not as handy as Sentinel where you just drop off the car and they sort the spaces
But OK getting to the airport
A bit slow on picking up at the airport to return to the car and the bus was very full which is not so good when everybody has a mass of luggage
Generally OK though as the price was competitive compared to Sentinel"
"I rate the new bus service as an improvement, as more passengers can be taken at once.
I prefer the old way of exiting the car park via use of my card, as having to walk through to Hall A to have your card validated is a chore when you wish to leave the airport as quickly as possible."
"Most impressed, easy to find, just a bind to authenticate my ticket"September 26, 2014
"Had no problems everything okay ad always is used before and will use again"September 25, 2014
"The system works perfectly well until the return journey. I found it a little irritating to have to go back into the main terminal to get the parking ticket verified. I'm sure this didn't happen last time I used this car park. Is this a temporary situation? It certainly isn't an improvement."September 6, 2014

Using Definitions for calculator:
The distance calculator is set up for a 36kW full power ATSC digital broadcast TV transmitter. Analog TV transmitters are in use worldwide and go as high as 58kW.
The Receive power is the amplifier's ability to receive a strong signal from a local TV transmitter, without having interference. The CEA specification wants an amplifier that can receive a signal as strong as (-3.8dBm). This is where the receiver's linearity is important. Linearity is the ability to amplify the signal of one channel over another adjacent channel without interference. The higher the linearity the more power the amplifier can handle, or in this case the closer it can get to a TV transmitter. If your amplifier cannot handle the power level you need to move farther away from the transmitter, resulting in a lower power reception threshold. A typical amplifier that does not meet the CEA specification can handle up to (-8.8dBm).
The antenna gain is set as 0dB which represents a UHF band channel with a small outdoor antenna or medium size indoor antenna. the antenna gain varies from -25dB of gain in small monopole antenna to +7dB for a 7ft rooftop antenna.
The frequency range goes from 45 MHz to 880 MHz, depending on the country, in the U.S. is goes from 45Mhz to 700Mhz. The 800MHz band was licensed to wireless carriers and is now used for 4G.
If you have any questions on how to use the calculator or need more information on the CEA specification Please Contact Us
The transition from analog to digital broadcast TV is a worldwide transition that will be completed by the year 2025. The main reason for the transition is to more efficiently use the spectrum and clear the way for additional wireless internet spectrum. The frequency range where the current broadcast TV resides is considered prime spectrum since the signals have the best propagation characteristics for long distance reception.Digital TV signals are not as robust as analog signals. Digital signals are more susceptible to interference and have a smaller coverage area. To make up the difference amplifiers are being added to receive more channels. The problem is amplifiers need the right balance of low noise, high gain and high linearity. Without the right balance you will end up sacrificing the total reception area by being either too close or too far from the TV tower.
This distance calculator was designed to help antenna manufacturers realize the saturation point when using a non CEA compliant amplifier. The larger the antenna, the more gain it has. The more gain, the father away you need to be from the local TV transmitter so it does not over saturate the amplifier. In general a CEA compliant amplifier (like Parsecs' PT1201) cuts the saturation point in half and increase the overall range of the antenna. Retail customers want a plug and play solution and expect manufacturers to make a fool proof antenna. Unfortunately getting the most channels leaves manufacturers trying to find the right balance at the best cost. If antenna manufacturers switch to highly linear amplifiers in addition to low noise and high gain amplifieres (like Parsecs' PT1201), TV antenna manufacturers can cut down the amount of returns at retailers due to over saturation and have a larger reception area that receives more channels.

The best hotel school in the world ... for me
As the world's oldest hotel school, Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne (EHL) commands immense respect among hospitality and tourism professionals. It rivals Cornell's School of Hotel Administration in terms of international clout, and graduates of EHL become high-level employees or even founders of leading hospitality and tourism organizations.
EHL has a unique view of the hospitality industry, seeing it as a tool to help pull developing nations out of economic straits. The school received the Swiss Ethics Prize in 2006 for its work in sustainable development, and many graduates go on to become leaders in sustainable tourism.
Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne is accredited both in Switzerland and abroad. The core degree that most students pursue is a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management. The program integrates the science of hospitality management with the "art of understanding" that any leader in this industry has to possess.
It's this mixture of left- and right-brain teaching tactics that keeps Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne ahead of the industry. You'll be encouraged to study and build on successful business strategies. At the same time, the program's designers understand that the art of hospitality can't be gleaned from a textbook, so you'll be paired with mentors while receiving valuable hands-on training that no amount of in-class studying could substitute.
Campus Life
The EHL campus is also an active hotel, equipped with popular restaurants and bars that serve as a training ground as well as place to unwind in the evening. Beyond this, the city has a booming nightlife, with dozens of bars and live-music venues in reach of the main campus. Lausanne also serves as headquarters for the Olympic Committee, and students enjoy access to world-class sporting facilities.
Faculty & Staff
The faculty members at EHL hail from 20 different countries and they have formidable professional experience in everything from culinary arts to marketing and finance. The list includes esteemed scholars, practitioners with invaluable experience and former executives from the hospitality industry. Most of the faculty members are highly involved on campus, engaging their students in activities and projects outside of the classroom.
EHL's faculty and staff are industry leaders, regularly speaking at international conferences and leading workshops. With this team of esteemed academics and professionals behind you, you'll be receiving one of the most sought-after degrees in the hospitality industry.
Life after Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne
With the reputation of a degree from Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne behind you, you'll have access to more opportunities than most. Graduates of EHL go on to manage five-star hotels, open cutting-edge restaurants and implement innovative industry concepts.
A recent industry survey found that graduates of EHL are consistently among the first chosen by leading recruiters in the tourism and hospitality industry. A degree from Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne all but guarantees a competitive edge over graduates from similar programs at other schools.

Choosing An Online Program
Online learning has seen an explosion in popularity in recent years. According to an annual report published by the Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C), nearly 3.5 million students were taking at least one online course in 2006. They also reported that one in five higher education students were taking an online course in the fall of 2006. The growth rate reported for online learning was nearly 10%.
To meet the demand, as of 2000 over half of the degree granting institutions in the U.S. offered some type of distance education. By 2002 the number was expected to rise to 84% .
Access is the reason most often cited for the increase in both interest and the number of online offerings. Online course offerings and programs provide greater access to education for potential students. This is especially true for working adults who are looking for ways to further or change careers. Access is also the number 1 reason cited by educational institutions for the increase in their online offerings, followed by attracting students from beyond their traditional service area, and growing continuing or professional education .
There are also studies by groups such as the Distance Learning and Education Council and Eduventures that indicate growing acceptance of online education programs. An Eduventures study indicated that more than 60% of managers or human resource professionals view online degrees favorably. Studies including Sloan-C's indicate increasing levels of acceptance of online learning among professional educators as well.
Popular Online Universities
Here's are a few of the larger universities that have a focus on online programs (see a longer list in the left column):
AIU Online provides degree and non-degree programs in business, education and other career-centric areas
Capella University is an entirely online university that maintains a focus on graduate programs
University of Phoenix Online is a very large and established online educator with a strong breadth of programs and degrees.
There are, however, still prejudices against online programs and degrees within both the academic community and the hiring community. A study conducted by Jonathan Adams (Director of Interactive and New Communication Technologies at Florida State University) and Margaret H. DeFleur (Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Louisiana State University), indicates a much lower degree of acceptance of online education and degrees on the part of hiring managers and educational institutions .
Given the increasing popularity and proliferation of online learning and courses, as well as varying degrees of acceptance, it is important for individuals to have a framework with which to evaluate online learning offerings. Prospective students need to evaluate programs to maximize their potential for getting a good, sound, education that will be looked upon favorably by the academic and hiring communities. This paper will highlight the top factors that individuals should take into consideration when evaluating online learning.
Sloan-C defines an online course as one in which at least 80% of course content is delivered online. Courses with less online content are considered to by blended or hybrid (30-79% online content) or "web facilitated" (< 30% online content).
Top Considerations When Evaluation Online Learning
Is On-line Training Right for You?
Probably the best place to start is with a little introspection and self examination. Questions that you should ask yourself include:
Why do you want to take an online course versus a more traditional instructor delivered course?
Is online learning compatible with your needs and the way that you learn?
How comfortable are you with a computer and technology?
Many people look into online learning because they think it will be faster or easier. Both are common misconceptions. A quality online course or program should be every bit as demanding as its classroom counterpart. Also, because many online courses are self-paced, they may actually take longer for a student to complete, especially for working adults who are juggling other life commitments.
Online learning is a fairly solitary and self-directed undertaking. This is especially true of online courses that progress at a student's own pace as opposed to those on a schedule with specific deadlines. Online learning also requires some facility with a computer. If you are an individual who needs structure or direction, or who thinks that the social aspects of an education (live interaction with other students and faculty, campus events, etc.) are appealing or important, than online learning may not be the right vehicle for you.
Expectation issues may be the reason that so many students (15% at post secondary and degree granting post secondary institutions) actually never start their distance education course (2007 Distance Education Survey, DETC). Once over the initial hurdles, however, course completion rates (75% or better) and graduation (65% or better) are fairly high for distance education (2007 Distance Education Survey, DETC).
What is the quality of the institution offering the online course/program?
One of the main indicators of the quality of an educational institution is accreditation. Accreditation is a process of peer-review of educational institutions and programs against established quality criteria by an independent, non-governmental, private educational association known as an accrediting agency. At a minimum, a prospective student should consider programs that are nationally accredited by an agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Even better is to consider the programs of an institution that is accredited by one of the 6 regional accrediting agencies, and their 8 commissions. The regional accrediting agencies are generally believed to be the highest form of accreditation in the United States. For more on accreditation see: Understanding Accreditation of Online Education Programs.

In my own experience I was introduced to the term Second Language Acquisition when I was about to finish my major in English Teaching , Since that time I started digging deeper in such a fascinating topic and terms.
Many times I have attempted to explain students that in spanish we omit pronouns in sentences , for instance , I can say "Se Inglés" instead of Saying "Yo se Inglés " and it is perfectly fine and sometimes students whose mother tongue is spanish want to do the same thing with English and I have to remind them that English doesn't work the same way as Spanish does.
Tonight while reading the term Second Language Acquisition in Wikipedia , I found the term Language Transfer and I knew that the term is everything that I just explained above.
This is the definition found online:
In addition, some errors that second-language learners make in their speech originate in their first language. For example, Spanish speakers learning English may say "Is raining" rather than "It is raining", leaving out the subject of the sentence. French speakers learning English, however, do not usually make the same mistake. This is because sentence subjects can be left out in Spanish, but not in French. This influence of the first language on the second is known as language transfer.
When the relevant unit or structure of both languages is the same, linguistic interference can result in correct language production called positive transfer — "correct" meaning in line with most native speakers' notions of acceptability. Note, however, that language interference is most often discussed as a source of errors known as negative transfer. Negative transfer occurs when speakers and writers transfer items and structures that are not the same in both languages
Transfer may be conscious or unconscious. Consciously, learners or unskilled translators may sometimes guess when producing speech or text in a second language because they have not learned or have forgotten its proper usage. Unconsciously, they may not realize that the structures and internal rules of the languages in question are different. Such users could also be aware of both the structures and internal rules, yet be insufficiently skilled to put them into practice, and consequently often fall back on their first language.
