Egyptian cleric, head of Sunni Islam's key learning center, dies
CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt's top cleric, Sheik Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, a controversial figure throughout the Islamic world, died of a heart attack Wednesday while on a visit to Saudi Arabia. He was 81.
Tantawi was the "grand sheik" of al Azhar, Sunni Islam's principal center of scholarship and faith, a millennium-old institution that President Barack Obama described as a "beacon of Islamic learning" during his trip to Cairo in June.
Critics, however, say the prestige of Azhar fell into decline under Tantawi, who was perceived by many Muslims to be a mouthpiece for U.S.-allied Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak appointed Tantawi to his position in 1996 to cap a long career as a scholar whose reputation as a relative moderate extended well beyond Egypt.
Tantawi was a vocal critic of female circumcision, a pre-Islamic custom that's still widely practiced in Egypt and North Africa. He condemned suicide attacks, spoke against the notion of a clash of civilizations and was conspicuously silent on the U.S.-led war on Iraq after early remarks that were interpreted as giving the green light for Egyptians to join the insurgency in Iraq.
Detractors say the cleric merely gave religious cover to state decisions.
"He did not act as the sheik of al Azhar, but as a government employee. The result was the shrinking of al Azhar's role in the Muslim world," said Fahmy Howeidy, a prominent Islamist thinker and columnist in Cairo.
Howeidy said Tantawi's mixed legacy in the Islamic world was secured with a handshake. During an interfaith dialogue organized by the United Nations in 2008, Tantawi shook hands with Israeli President Shimon Peres — a major offense to many Muslims who identify with the Palestinian cause.
Tantawi raised even more anger by then claiming he didn't know who Peres was or that the Gaza Strip was under Israeli blockade, prompting some members of the Egyptian parliament to demand his dismissal.
The last controversy came late last year, when he issued a decree banning female students at schools and universities affiliated with al Azhar from wearing the niqab, or full facial veil. His ruling, however, was not interpreted as championing women's rights, but rather as aiding Mubarak's authoritarian regime in its war against a tide of religious fundamentalism.
A statement from his Cairo office said that Tantawi died as he was about to board a return flight to Egypt from the King Khaled International Airport in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, where he'd attended a prize-giving ceremony. At his family's request, Tantawi will be buried in the Saudi holy city of Medina, near the shrine of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, Egyptian state media reported.
The director of Tantawi's office, Abdelmoneim Kamal, said the late cleric's deputy, Mohamed Wasel, would temporarily lead al Azhar until a new grand sheik is appointed.

Conference Moment: Don't Postpone a Prompting, Taught President Monson
Contributed By Sarah Jane Weaver, Church News staff writer
Article Highlights
- The answers to our questions and daily prayers come to us through silent promptings of the Spirit.
- The language of the Spirit comes when we seek with all our heart to know God and keep His commandments.
- Do not postpone following the Spirit.
"We watch. We wait. We listen for that still, small voice. When it speaks, wise men and women obey." —President Thomas S. Monson

President Thomas S. Monson shared an experience during his April 1985 general conference address, "The Spirit Giveth Life," that illustrates the importance of speaking and teaching with the Spirit.
He was in Star Valley, Wyoming, to release a stake president—the late E. Francis Winters.
"He had served faithfully for the lengthy term of twenty-three years," explained President Monson. "Though modest by nature and circumstance, he had been a perpetual pillar of strength to everyone in the valley. On the day of the stake conference, the building was filled to overflowing. Each heart seemed to be saying a silent thank-you to this noble leader who had given so unselfishly of his life for the benefit of others.
"As I stood to speak following the reorganization of the stake presidency, I was prompted to do something I had not done before, nor have I done so since. I stated how long Francis Winters had presided in the stake; then I asked all whom he had blessed or confirmed as children to stand and remain standing. Then I asked all those persons whom President Winters had ordained, set apart, personally counseled, or blessed to please stand. The outcome was electrifying. Every person in the audience rose to his feet. Tears flowed freely—tears which communicated better than could words the gratitude of tender hearts. I turned to President and Sister Winters and said, 'We are witnesses today of the prompting of the Spirit. This vast throng reflects not only individual feelings but also the gratitude of God for a life well lived.' No person who was in the congregation that day will forget how he felt when he witnessed the language of the Spirit of the Lord."
President Monson said that at times, the answers to our questions and daily prayers come to us through silent promptings of the Spirit.
Earlier in his conference address, President Monson spoke of the efforts of missionaries to learn new languages. "There is one language, however, that is understood by each missionary: the language of the Spirit. It is not learned from textbooks written by men of letters, nor is it acquired through reading and memorization. The language of the Spirit comes to him who seeks with all his heart to know God and to keep His divine commandments. Proficiency in this language permits one to breach barriers, overcome obstacles, and touch the human heart."
President Monson explained: "We watch. We wait. We listen for that still, small voice. When it speaks, wise men and women obey. We do not postpone following promptings of the Spirit."

Pere Marquette Lodge - Katie and AJ Wedding
You pull up the long drive at Pere Marquette and the light seems to dance - even along the winding drive. There's something that sets the stage for a wedding day when the roads you travel to get there include scenic routes of the Mississippi and clear, blue skies.
I walked in to give Katie a hug and look at all of her bridal details and she was complimenting one of her bridesmaids in true Katie fashion. The guys carried in the last of the ceremony and reception setup as the ladies hid Katie away in the bridal suite - complete with Panera bagels, orange juice, champagne (insert all the toasting glasses) and fruit. There was something about the day that made you want to soak up all the light and the view of the Lodge. So I let the light compliment the lace on her shoes and point back to the fluffy white clouds above...
Grafton, Illinois WEDDING
pere marquette lodge
Katie snuck outside to write her I'm-going-to-marry-you-and-love-you-forever letter. Some of her family watched her from a ways away and I watched her wipe away a tear. And when she read the letter from AJ on the deck in her lacy wedding dress? There was no holding back the tears.
She sprayed the perfume that her aunt had left in the room for her, picked up her bouquet, and walked outside to see AJ for their first look. There was something that felt cinematic about the slow walk next to the rose bushes and nothing but the sound of wind hitting the tops of the trees. He was standing just ahead with his back to her and he shifted just a little bit when he heard her. He couldn't hold back a smile anymore and he looked down at the ground, waiting for Katie.
She tapped him on the shoulder and he spun around to hold her and be lost in a world for just the two of them. I watched them do their hand-holdy thing - you know, where they can't help but hold both hands and do this sweet little dance of sorts even when there's no music to be heard. Their hand-holding reminds me that joy is found in the smallest of moments - from your mom putting on your necklace and stopping to hug on your family to sneaking off into the sunset just after you say your forevers.

I grew up in that time period when television was still a luxury. I still remember the small, black and white sets where the "vertical hold" was a critical adjustment. A slight deviation on the setting and the picture would roll up or down and drive my father whacky as he'd scramble to adjust it as he missed Bobby Lane's long pass to Jim Doran as his Lions beat the Cleveland Browns on the way to the NFL championship in 57. My dad used to tune the TV with his right hand; he'd slap the side of the box until the screen finally held still for another minute or two.
It was a magic period in the land of television as the studios experimented with equipment, techniques, scripts and even shows broadcast in color. Not many people could afford the color sets, but the color wasn't too hot anyway so it was no big deal. It was a time when many of the shows were broadcast live.
Television was the equivalent to time travel for kids. We could go places and see things previously unimaginable. I still remember the opening of Disneyland. I watched it from the comfort of my living room in Detroit. Like many kids my age, my first love was Annette Funicello of The Mickey Mouse Club. But in that time period and at that age, nothing beat the horror and science fiction shows. I can't begin to remember the number of times I had to cover my eyes with a pillow to escape the horrors inflicted by Boris Karloff or Lon Cheney as Shock Theater took us past midnight on Saturday nights.
Science fiction came in various colors. Shows like Rocky Jones – Space Ranger, Captain Video and The Adventures of Superman enthralled us as we sat mesmerized before the box that was ultimately to become the alter in nearly every American home. As a seven year old boy, no show was more hypnotic than Flash Gordon. More than a half century has passed, but I still remember an episode where alien invaders would capture humans, clip out their brains and replace them with the precursor to our modern day microprocessor. The zombies would then wander the earth incapable of independent thought doing the bidding of their absentee owners. It was sort of like the missionaries that knock on my door from time-to-time. It usually took a superhuman effort on the part of Flash Gordon to save humanity from the evil missionaries. I wish I could get in touch with Flash Gordon now; I could have used him last week to get the boys off my porch.
By now, you may be wondering what all this has to do with Jon Kyle's brain. Well, so much of the science fiction we watched as small children in the 50s was just that – fiction. But so much of it has come true. Microprocessors, men on the moon, handheld cell phones, all things that were pipe dreams then, but are realities today. When I listen to Senator Kyle speak on the subject of health care and insurance reform, I fear another bit of 50s vintage science fiction has become reality. The man has clearly had his cerebellum clipped and replaced with a microprocessor. The perpetrators of the heist obviously demagnetized the needle of his moral compass too.
I've met Jon Kyle. I've talked with Jon Kyle. Jon Kyle is an intelligent man or at least he was before the dark surgery took place. But when John Kyle talks about health care reform, it's as if his mind is blank and he's reciting the mantra implanted by some diabolical control committee of the Republican Party. Where has his mind gone?
With the health care system in America the way it is, we are outclassed by dozens of countries around the world who have better, cheaper and more effective systems in place. Every day, people in this country die because they lack health care. Every day, people in this country go bankrupt because they lack healthcare. It is a moral travesty. Yet Jon Kyle marches on in lock-step with his cronies singing their insurance industry scripted refrain. He says it would be unfair for the insurance industry to have to compete with the government, but people are dying. He wants to protect the insurance industry, a group of Republican Party contributors that have proven to be ruthless, mercenary, dishonest and conniving who obviously don't give a tinker's damn about millions of Americans destroyed by the system they control. Who has stolen Kyle's brain and disabled his moral compass.
The stock script he and his cohorts are programmed to recite ad nauseam says government involvement is bad. The government, i.e., his group, can't do it. It's socialism. It's evil. Meanwhile, people are dying, people are losing their homes through medical bankruptcy and our life expectancies are in line with some countries trying to crawl out of the third world.
If he is sincere in what he says, he will be launching a vigorous attack on the biggest experiment in government control and socialism facing us today. It's as big as the health care bureaucracy he fears. It's far more socialistic than any of the health care plans under consideration. It doesn't result in the deaths or financial destruction of even a small fraction of those demolished by our health care system, but it's monstrous and it must be destroyed. I'm sure that if Kyle is honest in what he's constantly saying about health care reform, he will be an equally voracious opponent of public education. Kill education and save America. Run, Jon, run. See Jon run. Destroy public education as the socialistic parasite it is. With even less education than we have now, the ranks of the Kyle Republican Party will swell and his dreams of power will be one step closer to fruition.
Maybe my view is over the line and darker than is justified. Maybe the truth is that the Republicans and Kyle aren't owned and operated by the health insurance industry after all. Maybe, given the chance, they would care about the people suffering and dying in American thanks to our current system. Conceivably, they would know some things do need to be paid for regardless of the costs, things like education, health care, highways, defense and government. And maybe some Republicans would break ranks and take the moral road even if it is more challenging. But then they can't do that if someone has stolen Jon Kyle's brain.
Where oh where is Flash Gordon when we need him?

After more than a month of preparation, it was finally time to launch the Augmented Reality Scavenger hunt on December 1st, at Future Tenant's Video Gamer's Paradise Fundraiser.
To start off the AR Scavenger Hunt, a stack of sheets was left with instructions to download the app and then play the scavenger hunt. Guests received one upon entry. The incentive of one free beer upon completing the scavenger hunt was stated on the instruction sheet.
Total Attendance: 50-60
Number of people who played: 42, over 70%
Number of people who completed the survey: 19
· Out of all the survey data, 40% people said this was their first AR experience
· Everyone surveyed categorized the Scavenger Hunt as "Fun" and "Interactive"
· 15% of the people said that they were playing only for the free beverage/prize
· 37% people said that they were interested in engaging in similar activities at similar events
One of the most important factors that any arts manager has to consider for a project is resources: time and money. It is also what makes this project doable! In terms of time, most of the 'ideation' or creative process of up the majority. This was mostly time spent collaborating with the staff members of the organization and the programmer.
For this particular project, I collaborated with a fellow student at Carnegie Mellon University and therefore it was free. If outsourcing is needed, this should not be more than 5-6 hours of work for a programmer.
In a report, 'Making Sense of Audience Engagement', Alan Brown and Rebecca Ratzkin, talk about the different kinds of audience typologies. The 6 different kinds of audiences are: Readers, Critical Reviewers, Casual Talkers, Technology-based Processors, Insight Seekers and Active Learners. Through augmented reality experiences, almost all of these typologies can find something to engage with. Most arts related AR has informational text for the Readers and AR automatically attracts the Technology-based Processors. Taking part in AR activities, the Insight Seekers can have a greater intrinsic impact, and the Active Learners are actively engaged by the power to customize their experience.(2)
There is a lot of research showcasing the effect of audience engagement through digital media and especially AR, where AR used in museums has helped 72% of participants to remember information better. It has also been seen that the topmost interest of people in the age groups of 18-24 years and 35-44 years, who already attend the arts, is technology-based experiences. This goes on to show that employing more digital media will not only help engage audiences but may also go on to increase attendance.(1)
The aim of the experiment at Future Tenant was to spark interest in the video games and get them to participate more. This is one of the main reasons for placing all of the posters near the game booths, and also to have elements of the game in the scavenger hunt. One key observation was that initially most people were standing in clusters and talking in groups. After playing the scavenger-hunt, quite a few of the participants went on to take part in the other games and activities. This shows that at the very least the scavenger hunt proved to be an ice-breaker between the institution and its patrons.
Future Tenant as an organization was able to create an interactive experience through AR. While AR can be intimidating at first, it's quite simple when you get down to it. Applications of AR can be varied and easily customized, making it easy to engage patrons,and creating long-lasting memories with the institution.

Birth of an Empire: A Review of The Landmark Julius Caesar
"O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me"
― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act 3, scene 2
History is full of great men who performed daring actions that began the greatest motions of war, peace, love, and terror. Remaining true to the study of great men, Robert B Strassler's Landmark series offers compelling histories of the ancient world. Strassler's series began with the publication of the The Landmark Thucydides, followed by The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories, Xenophon's Hellenika, and then The Landmark Arrian: Campaigns of Alexander. Filled with some of the greatest works of the ancient world, each edition usually contains accessible maps, illustrations, diagrams, and some of the best translations from prominent classicists. Over the years, the Landmark series has quickly grown into an authoritative position among students and teachers, for reasons obvious to anyone familiar with Strassler's work.
The latest addition to this series, The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works continues that tradition. For the first time, Strassler's series steps out of its comfort zone of Greek writers, entering the ferocious Imperii Romani. This new work is comprehensive, including all the trademarks of the series that readers have come to know and love. Each page is lavishly adorned with footnotes, detailing important historical, geographical, and political insights about the work. For example, there is additional information given on the nature of rivers and how they presented obstacles to armies, the nature of weapons used in combat, or the political connections of Caesar's movements to Roman politics. Also among the pages are illustrations of battles plans, maps of army movements, images of Roman weaponry, depictions of ancient coins, and photographs of various stone reliefs or other Roman art such as tablets or busts.
Along with the various addendums, The Landmark Julius Caesar offers five major works: Caesar's Gallic War and Civil War, as well as the Alexandrian War, African War, and the Spanish War. Each of these pieces was masterfully translated by Kurt A. Raaflaub, a classics professor at Brown University. The book also offers an easy to use glossary, a major classical works list, and several appendices including a list of major figures by John T. Ramsey, and an explanation of Roman military tactics and unit organization by Christopher S. Mackay.
The accuracy of Raaflaub's simple, yet elegant translation not only improves the readers comprehension, but allows for insight into the mind of Caesar himself. Caesar was a military man, and he lived and died in that manner. His letters, reports, and histories marched to the same beat. He was never one for fanciful oration. So, in the first book of the Gallic wars Caesar famously stated
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur.
This section literally translates to the following:
All Gaul is divided into three parts, of which the Belgae inhabit one, the Aquitani another, the third of which are called in their own language Celtae, called Galli in ours.
Raaflaub translates Caesar's work true to the meaning, but not word-for-word. Instead, the translation is made easily readable and engaging to anyone, be they a classicist or a new reader of ancient texts. This technique has its benefits, and allows for a smooth flow throughout the work for all. Raaflaub therefore translates the above passage as follows:
Gaul, if you take all of it into account, is divided into three regions. The Belgae live in one, the Aquitani in the second, and in the third a people called Celts in their own language but Gauls in ours.
Raaflaub's fidelity to Caesar's style allows the man behind the work to be revealed to all. Caesar is unearthed as bold, daring and ready to jump into action, but he can also be quiet and thoughtful with an air of complexity. Caesar did not need to flatter himself in his own histories, for he knew that his deeds would be the only true measure of his character in the ages to come. Caesar therefore states that, in regards to his enemies, he
"should not claim any excess of bravery on his own part, and he should not look down on them."
With this edition's translation the reader is therefore able to jump into the history of ancient Rome. The pitched battles between Caesar and Pompey can now be easily accessed in the Civil War, allowing the last few years of the Roman Republic to be examined in detail. Furthermore, the campaigns of Caesar in Greece, northern Africa, and Iberia can all be studied, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of Caesar's military career. Military buffs and students of history alike will benefit greatly from the knowledge offered by this new edition.
Raaflaub and Strassler's new Landmark Julius Caesar is therefore a worthy addition to any serious scholar's library. It contains within it all that an admirer of the ancient world, or the Roman Empire, could desire, placing it among the best in the series.

Following the FBI"s announcement of an arrest made in a high-profile Mare Island kidnapping for ransom case that drew national attention in March, the public has questioned the Vallejo Police Department"s decision of calling it an "orchestrated event."
However, Vallejo police Capt. John Whitney said Tuesday the department stands with the statement — given the evidence detectives had at the time.
"The evidence we had leading up to the public press conference where we said it was an "orchestrated event," we did not have any evidence at that time supporting any of their statements," Whitney said. "There was no evidence whatsoever collected. Everything we had just led us to nothing. … Everything was handled as accordance to our general orders, policies or procedures. Nobody did anything that they weren"t supposed to do."
The case in question is the kidnapping of Denise Huskins, 30, from her boyfriend"s home in Mare Island. The suspect, or suspects, then demanded $8,500 from Huskins" boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, for her ransom.
Whitney said Vallejo police continued to investigate the bizarre kidnapping case after the statement, and have been a partner with the FBI since then.
The FBI took the lead on the case beginning in April, he added.
"It was assumed back in March that we had said, "It"s a hoax" and we"re done, but we actually weren"t," Whitney said. "We"ve been investigating it the whole time."
The announcement of the arrest, however, prompted Huskins" attorney to call for an apology from the Vallejo police for publicly declaring the kidnapping a "hoax."
At a press conference on Monday, Huskins" attorney, Douglas Rappaport, didn"t hold back on Vallejo police: "The Vallejo Police Department owes an apology to Ms. Huskins and Mr. Quinn, but more importantly they owe an apology to the public. Why? Because the individual or individuals who committed this offense were at liberty to continue on their crime spree and in fact (he) did."
Whitney said Tuesday the police department is not planning on contacting Huskins and Quinn or their attorneys until they "have all the facts."
"We"re waiting for the investigation to be concluded," he said. "We don"t know what the final outcome of this case is going to be. … It"s important that we don"t jump to conclusions, that we don"t say anything that could jeopardize the investigation."
When asked if they had jumped to a conclusion too quickly in March by questioning the validity of the kidnapping, Whitney emphasized that the statement was made based on the evidence they had at the time. He also added that it was necessary due to the community"s growing safety concern.
"(The community was) terrified and they thought more kidnappings were going to take place," he said. "(Quinn and Huskins) were not cooperating with us so at that point. And with the facts we had, it was the right thing to do, to basically bring some calm to the Mare Island neighborhood."
He said the arrest should not be cause for alarm to the community. According to the FBI affidavit, there was evidence that the suspect targeted Quinn and his former girlfriend, who was no longer living at the Mare Island home in March.
While Huskins was abducted, Quinn was reportedly bound and drugged.
After an intense search, utilizing many resources, Huskins turned up safe 400 miles away from Vallejo in her hometown of Huntington Beach in Southern California.
She then stopped communicating with authorities and Vallejo police held a press conference, calling the kidnapping "orchestrated."
The next day, Huskins came to the Vallejo Police Department for an interview with the detectives.
Later, an investigation into a June home invasion robbery in Dublin led detectives to uncover evidence that linked the suspect, Matthew Muller, 38, of Orangevale, to the kidnapping case.
On June 29, an arrest warrant was issued for Muller — who was already in custody for the Dublin case — for Huskins" kidnapping,
The FBI unsealed the affidavit Monday, and released it to the public. The affidavit revealed details of the case, including long emails sent to a San Francisco Chronicle reporter and Vallejo police by someone claiming to be the kidnapper.
Huskins" and Quinn"s attorneys said Monday there was no previous connection between Muller and their clients.
In March, Lt. Kenny Park was the officer assigned as the public officer information regarding the case. Though he was not available Tuesday, Whitney said Park has not been replaced and will continue to serve as the department"s public information officer.
The investigation is ongoing and it was not immediately clear if there are more suspects involved in the kidnapping.
Muller is currently in custody at the Alameda County Jail with a bail set at $380,000.
According to the FBI documents, Muller told detectives he is a former U.S. Marine who served from 1995 to 1999. Officials confirmed that he attended Harvard Law School and was admitted to the California Bar in 2011, but was disbarred in 2015.
He also told detectives he suffered from "Gulf War Illness, problems with psychosis, and in 2008 was diagnosed with bipolar disorder," the complaint states.
His Sacramento-based attorney Thomas Johnson has said to other media outlets that his client is not guilty.
Individuals who believe they are a victim of a similar crime and law enforcement agencies aware of similar crimes are urged to contact agents with the Sacramento Field Office of the FBI at 1-800-225-5324.

At Corinthia, we always strive to provide the best rates on our website. If you don't think we have, we'll pay for 100% of your room on the first night, and price match the rest. Should you find a lower price elsewhere, please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking and we will respond within two working days. Please note, this also applies to discounts and promotions available on Corinthia.com.
Process for making a claim:
Step 1. If within 24 hours of a confirmed reservation with Corinthia Hotels made on Corinthia.com, you find a lower rate for the same hotel, room type, inclusions, stay dates, discounts and payment conditions, please contact the relevant email address from the list below to make your claim. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time of the hotel.
Step 2. Your claim should be supported by the URL where the lower rate was found and a screen shot which clearly displays the date of stay, room type, same hotel, inclusions and payment conditions of the lower rate offering on the competing website. Please include your contact information (name, email and phone number).
Step 3. If we are able to verify that the lower rate found qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee, and all other terms and conditions are met, Corinthia Hotels will pay for 100% of the room charges of your first night, and will price match the room for the rest of your stay. You will be charged for all nights booked at the matched rate, minus the first night which will be free.
To make your claim, email the relevant hotel on one of the following:
First nightfree, match rate for rest of stay, no minimum nights
Terms and Conditions:
Corinthia Hotels guarantees the best online rate on corinthia.com based on the following terms and conditions:
1. Your original booking must have been made through corinthia.com.
2. The lower rate must be found and the claim submitted by email within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time at the hotel. If the original booking was made within 24 hours of arrival, the Best Rate Guarantee is not applicable.
3. The Best Rate Guarantee only applies to published rates available to the general public online, which can be found and booked immediately without any kind of restriction or payment restrictions.
4. The lower rate found must be for exactly the same booking criteria - the same hotel, the same room type, same inclusions, the same stay dates, same number of guests, the same rate description and, if applicable, the same promotion. The cancellation and advance purchase policy and all other terms and conditions of the stay must also be identical. If the claim refers to a reservation consisting of several nights' accommodation, the average rate for each night will be compared to the average rate for each night, for an identical reservation, using the website where the lower rate is found.
5. Corinthia Hotels will verify the lower rate claim and respond within two working days of the claim being made. *Claims will be processed from Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm, at the hotel's local time.
6. The rate comparison will be made net of any taxes, gratuities or any other fees or charges associated with the room rate, and the lower rate must still be available at the time the hotel validates the claim.
7. The Best Rate Guarantee is void where prohibited by law. Corinthia Hotels reserves the right to modify or cancel its Best Rate Guarantee policy at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice.
8. Corinthia Hotels has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim, including without limitation, determining that the lower rate found is genuinely available and that the claim meets all terms and conditions. In case of dispute, Corinthia Hotels' decision is final.
9. In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through corinthia.com, Corinthia Hotels will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. Corinthia Hotels is not responsible for any fees associated with cancelling a reservation made through a different channel.
10. Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where corinthia.com or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Corinthia Hotels' reasonable control.
11. The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to rates found offline, negotiated corporate rates, group or MICE rates, opaque provider rates or rates requiring membership in a club or other organization, governmental rates, direct mail or email solicitations, rates offered by providers that do not supply the name or location of the hotel until after a reservation has been made or other rates that are not available to the general public. We reserve the right to deny a claim if the availability of the Competing Rate cannot be independently verified at the time of processing the claim.
12. The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package in which the Hotel does not provide all services (including but not limited to airfare and/or car rental, tours etc.) and Hotel accommodations sold with additional amenities.
13. Corinthia Hotels may deny a claim where the difference between the rates is less than 1%.
14. If the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the rate booked on corinthia.com, the Competing Rate will be converted into the same currency as the rate offered on our website using the exchange rate as published in www.xe.com in place at the time the initial reservation was made. Discrepancies may occur between Corinthia Hotels' rate and the Competing Rate due to differences in exchange rate sources. If the rate discrepancy is solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve the right to deny the claim.
A highly photogenic city, Prague's best photography locations include grand, historic buildings as well as thought-provoking, political graffiti
From citywide panoramas to magnificent ancient monuments and poignant 20th century graffiti, Prague certainly doesn't lack a variety of photogenic locations. Whether you're a budding amateur or an experienced professional, the Czech capital's sights are certain to inspire you, such as the reflection of the city lights on the Vltava river at night or the stories told by the buildings in the Jewish Quarter. Be sure to pack your camera when you visit these, our 10 best photography locations in Prague.
Not only is this lovely park open to the public, it's also got fantastic views of the surrounding area, particularly if you climb to the top of Petřín Tower. Built in 1891, the observation tower was designed as a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and today it offers budding photographers the highest vantage point in Prague.
Part of the Prague Castle complex, the magnificence and scale of St Vitus Cathedral is certainly not lost on camera. Almost every aspect of the cathedral is photo-worthy; from St John of Nepomuk's silver tomb to the elaborately decorated St Wenceslas Chapel and art nouveau style stained glass windows, each part has an important story to tell in Prague's history.
During the city's communist era, John Lennon became an important symbol for many dissatisfied young Czech people. After his murder in 1980, a portrait of him was painted on the wall of a quiet square and the image was soon joined by Beatles lyrics and political statements. Despite being repainted several times, the wall always ends up covered in graffiti again and is today left as it is, a striking symbol of peace and the power of music.
For beautiful, historic shots, Wenceslas Square is an excellent choice. The site of many key events in Czech history, this long avenue-like space is full of eye-catching buildings that will certainly inspire your creative side. It's hard to miss the neo-renaissance style of the National Museum, but it's also worth keeping an eye out for the statue of St Wencleslas, as well as the poignant tribute to young anti-communist protestors Jan Palach and Jan Zajic.
A neighbourhood that has survived countless threats of destruction, Prague's Jewish Quarter is home to some of the best preserved Jewish buildings in Europe. The most historic buildings, such as several synagogues, the Jewish Ceremonial Hall and Old Jewish Cemetery, are part of the Jewish Museum in Prague. Visitors must buy a ticket in order to gain entry, but the variety of photo opportunities on offer here certainly makes it worthwhile.
Prague's star attraction, the city's castle is world famous for a reason. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the castle complex is packed with extraordinary architecture and art and, as you wander through the palaces and religious buildings, rest assured in the fact that it's almost impossible to take a bad picture here.
The Vltava River is a key part of the Czech capital's landscape, and thanks to the reflections on the water and different currents in the river, it's easy to get some great riverside shots. Visiting after dark is highly recommended, when the city lights are reflected and illuminated on the surface of the river.
Old Town Square is a popular spot with visitors thanks to its host of attractions and picturesque layout. For the most stunning photos, head to the top of the Old Town Hall Tower at sunset.
Possibly the most beautiful library on the planet, the Klementinum library is a baroque masterpiece that you'll certainly want to capture on camera. Opened in 1722, the exquisite space has a collection of over 20,000 books. Be sure to look up so you can admire the intricate ceiling frescoes painted by Jan Hiebl.
A homage to Czech cubist design, the House of the Black Madonna is conveniently located close to Old Town Square and tells the story of cubism. Home to what's claimed to be the world's only cubist café, Grand Café Orient, there are plenty of photo opportunities here, including the snaking curves of the building's staircase which, when shot from below, appear to resemble a lightbulb.

I am creating a membership application form and testing in Sandbox mode using my own info. Using PayPal. When I hit SUBMIT it takes me to "Log in to your PayPal account" but has no option for them to just use their credit card thru PayPal with NO account. Your tutorial shows that there should be 2 options after submit - use their existing account or a one time use with credit card. Am I doing something wrong?
I can't get the subscription buttons to work. Once I select subscription and review and submit form it just gets stuck on please wait...
It never redirects, submits, or anything.
I would like to add a paypal credit button to the checkout. Is that possible through here?

I'm trying to set up a fundraiser contest, but there aren't any products. Basically, users submit photos for the contest, but they pay $5 per photo upload. I can't seem to figure out how to make this work, could you assist me?
Thank you!
Hi Jotform Managers,
I'm hoping you can help me.
I've been reading up on the forums to get an answer, but without luck....
1. I'm wondering how do I setup Paypal to ONLY redirect the people who want to use Paypal/to pay?
Essentially, I only want the people who are opting to pay via Paypal to be redirected to the Paypal page or alternatively with the Paypal Pro is there an option to enter the CC details on my form and make it a non-mandatory/required field?
2. I have been working on my partners jotform to create the Paypal options and when testing the Paypal option, we've found that if we get redirected to the Paypal payments page, that we loose all of our Jotform pre-entered data if we don't complete the Paypal transaction (when returning back to the original page).
Is there a way to avoid the loss of pre-entered data after not completing a Paypal payment (ie. returning back to the seller's page). ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
I very much appreciate it.
Will I be charged a fee from paypal for using this service if I have just have a personal paypal account?
estoy teniendo problemas con la integración de paypal en mi formulario, llevo varios dias sin respuesta.
In the PayPal integration, there is an option "Use PayPal Checkout Buttons". I've chosen "Yes" but the form still shows the previous submit button I'd set up, and not the PayPal button.
Why is this? I've tried to delete the submit button, hoping a PayPal button might replace it, but no luck.
If I download a PayPal button and upload a button image to replace my Jotform button, crazy things happen to the sizing: the image expands beyond the form and pixellates because it's stretched.
Why doesn't "Use PayPal Checkout Buttons" simply make the PayPal button appear automatically? Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Hello - I am trying to set up a PayPal PayFlow link - Is this possible? I have a merchant ID, that I would like the payments to go through, however I cannot get around the "email" aspect of the PayPal Log in on my form. Instead, it is going to a personal account, which is not ideal, due to the high percentage of paypal processing fees. The website can be found at: http://uthscsa.edu/artt/bbc/Registration.asp
My form is inserted on the checkout page I created but visitors are not being directed to paypal after completing the form. Is there something specifically that I am not doing?
I have created a form for donations for my church app. I have used the Jot plugin and inserted the publish link. However, when testing i enter an amount and my info. But when I click the "go to payment page" it says please wait. After 10 minutes of waiting it still does nothing. Any ideas?
I'm trying to use paypal to gather money for a common payment towards a downpayment/registration for a class reunion retreat. No goods or services are being sold. Is there any way to get around the high fees being charged?
How to collect payment 30% only from total of multiple products(items) staight without to put any coupon codes?
What about a pick up & delivery service? I need to be able to authorize payment and then send a bill with the correct amount after the item is picked up and weighed.
Спасибо за Ваш труд!!
Do you have to create a paypal account if you are intending to only make a one time purchase. We have clients looking to just enter in their payment details and move on without creating an account. Any help would be great, thank you.
I have completed this three times.
it is not showing a payment or submit button on my form to complete the transaction
Having all kinds of problems and can't seem to get anyone to answer me on here. Is there a phone number to actually call a tech?
I just pressed Submit, paid in paypal (the seller got the money), and the submission is still showing as pending. What gives???
How about selling services????
The PayPal widget wizard wants a fixed price. There's not such thing in cleaning apartments. The form I intended to use on my site is supposed to gather info to set a price that cannot be known ahead of time.
You have to be kidding me.
Is there a way to process the submission (ie. send emails, add to Submissions page) IMMEDIATELY and NOT wait until Jotform receives a notification from the payment gateway?
PayPal is taking a while for it to process, and I'd like to know when someone submits the form immediately.
I do appreciate the "Pending Payments" feature, but it would be great to know immediately when someone completes the form. I can follow up on the payment later.
Thanks so much in advance!

i want to open up a pay pal account given i need some payments made through it...how do i go,what do i need to do it,how soon can i get it,what do i goggle to give me right answers,am from kenya
I'm sorry, I should have given an example form so you can see what I'm talking about. On this form, the 1125 number is just a number, whereas the 125 above it is $125.00 USD. I want people to be able to see that it's $1,125.00 USD. It adds correctly to the cart and totals, but it doesn't look like a dollar amount. See example: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/41815559241961
I have tickets priced at $125 each and a table of 9 priced at $1,125. The $125 price goes in fine, but the $1,125 price doesn't show up at $USD. It's just the number 1125. I experimented and found that any price above $999 shows up that way. anything $999 and below shows as a price. Is that a bug? I have a Standard PayPal account, not Pro, but I don't think I need Pro just to take a payment of more than $999.
I followed these instructions but when I click submit, it only thanks me for submitting. It doesn't take me to Paypal, so I can't collect the money.
Any workaround to add products and a donation option?
My form is for animal shelter and we have our "products" as the standard adoption fees.
I'd also like to add the ability to include an additional donation amount.
Hi, I am testing integration of Paypal on the form. I have $5 and $7 menu. If I check $5 and decide to uncheck it, it won't let me do it. Can you please advise as to how I can fix this issue? Thanks.
I've created my form and i'm directed to Paypal just fine but it seems like you either have to have an existing Paypal account or register with Paypal to complete the transaction. However, I've noticed that on a mobile device (via my phone and ipod for example), I have the option of just completing the Payment using a credit/debit card without having to register with Paypal. Any ideas how I can get that option for desktop too?
Thank you!

[01] FinMin on Greek statistical dataBRUSSELS (ANA-MPA) - Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, turning up for the meeting of eurozone member-states in Brussels, expressed satisfaction over the lifting of reservations on the part of Eurostat regarding Greece's statistical data that have been fully ratified.
Papaconstantinou said that taking into consideration that the deficit will be higher in 2009, Greece will achieve in 2010 the biggest fiscal effort that has ever been made in the EU, with a decrease in the deficit by six percentage points. He noted, however, that it is an unprecedented decrease in the deficit by 14 billion euros. Papaconstantinou then said that in 2010 Greece will begin from a higher starting point that it had initially desired regarding the amount of the deficit and added that in 2011 there shall be full respect of the targets set and stressed that Greece intends to take whatever measures are considered necessary.

[02] Greek bond market closing report(ANA-MPA) -- The yield spread between the 10-year Greek and German benchmark bonds widened to 912 basis points on Tuesday from 889 bps on Monday in the Greek electronic secondary bond market. The Greek bond yielded 11.71 pct and the German Bund 2.59 pct. (ANA-MPA) Turnover in the market totaled 59 million euros of which 50 million were sell orders and the remaining 9.0 million euros were buy orders. The 10-year benchmark bond was the most heavily traded security with a turnover of 30 million euros.
In interbank markets, interest rates were largely unchanged. The 12-month rate was 1.54 pct, the six-month rate 1.27 pct, the three-month 1.04 pct and the one-month rate 0.84 pct. (ANA-MPA)

[03] Papoulias to begin visit to Bulgaria on Wed.President Karolos Papoulias will pay an official visit to Bulgaria on Wednesday and Thursday.
During his stay in Sofia, Papoulias will meet his Bulgarian counterpart Georgi Parvanov, Prime Minister Boiko Borisov, the mayor of the Bulgarian capital, Yordanka Fadakova, the Patriarch of Bulgaria Maximos, as well as the leaders of the political parties. Moreover, the presidents of Greece and Bulgaria will jointly inaugurate a Greek-Bulgarian business forum.
The agenda of talks is expected to bilateral relations, developments in the European Union and NATO, as well as prospects for further development of economic cooperation.
Papoulias will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas and Agricultural Development Minister Costas Skandalidis.

[04] Health minister promises cuts of 1.4 bln euros by end 2011(ANA-MPA) -- Health Minister Andreas Loverdos on Tuesday received a delegation of "troika" inspectors and briefed them on the measures he intends to take to ensure cuts of roughly 1.4 billion euros in the public healthcare sector by the end of 2011.
"Whether the troika representatives will be convinced that we can pull this through will depend on whether the interventions we suggest will be deemed as satisfactory," Loverdos stated, clarifying however, that "the interventions in question are specific" and that "no more measures in store."
The health minister stated that salaries and benefits in the healthcare sector will not be affected, while also ruling out hospital mergers.
Loverdos said 840 million euros can be saved through the implementation of measures in the daily operation of public hospitals, the e-prescription system and (ANA-MPA) changes in "long embedded attitudes", as he said, stressing that civil servants will have use some 12,000 physicians employed by the their health fund and not outside physicians.
He also stated that roughly 280 million euros can be saved through the reforms implemented in the specific fund and another 250 million through the timely payment of hospital suppliers. In addition, 150 million euros will be saved through changes implemented in the purchasing of 89 of the most expensive prescription drugs.
The health minister pointed out that the uninsured and indigent in Athens and Thessaloniki will be able to seek healthcare in six designated public hospitals, four in Athens and two in Thessaloniki, in an effort to put an end to practices of over-prescription. (ANA-MPA)

Biochemical purifications from mammalian cells and Xenopus oocytes revealed that vertebrate Mi-2 proteins reside in multisubunit NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase) complexes. Since all NuRD subunits are highly conserved in the genomes of C. elegans and Drosophila, it was suggested that NuRD complexes also exist in invertebrates. Recently, a novel dMec complex, composed of dMi-2 and dMEP-1 was identified in Drosophila. The genome of C. elegans encodes two highly homologous Mi-2 orthologues, LET-418 and CHD-3. Here we demonstrate that these proteins define at least three different protein complexes, two distinct NuRD complexes and one MEC complex. The two canonical NuRD complexes share the same core subunits HDA-1/HDAC, LIN-53/RbAp and LIN-40/MTA, but differ in their Mi-2 orthologues LET-418 or CHD-3. LET-418 but not CHD-3, interacts with the Krüppel-like protein MEP-1 in a distinct complex, the MEC complex. Based on microarrays analyses, we propose that MEC constitutes an important LET-418 containing regulatory complex during C. elegans embryonic and early larval development. It is required for the repression of germline potential in somatic cells and acts when blastomeres are still dividing and differentiating. The two NuRD complexes may not be important for the early development, but may act later during postembryonic development. Altogether, our data suggest a considerable complexity in the composition, the developmental function and the tissue-specificity of the different C. elegans Mi-2 complexes. Show more

News For This Month: Badges
What Are Name Badges And Their Benefits?
When it comes to working in the corporate world, you have to understand that it is important to know every person that you work with. Especially for those who are still new to the corporate world; it is important that you know who to approach when it comes to concerns regarding certain tasks that you are not used to. This is the reason why name badges are incredibly important because that is going to help people waste no time in finding the right person to ask incase of a problem. You need to know the person who is tasked to assist you in your job and with the help of name badges, the confusion can be eliminated and the working starts right away. You should know that name badges are not just for the employees to spot the right co-worker for help but it is also perfect for customers finding the right employee to help them out as well. Imagine being in a rush and that you have to buy the products you need right away but as soon as you enter the store, you don't know who to ask about the location of certain products, this could take some precious time off of your watch and time you cannot waste at the moment; this is why name badges are important.
If you own a company and you have a lot of employees not wearing name badges, chances are you won't be able to remember each and every one of their names and that is a problem that you should address. As simple as they seem, name badges are pretty important for almost everyone in the economy. This is the reason why you should make use of the name badges because a simple … Read the rest

A poll on the news tonight indicates that fewer than 1 in 4 people in the UK believe that climate change is real.
The question that springs to mind is what are those people using for brains?
Brian has a theory that most people are stupid, and things like this just confirm that belief. People seem to look at the snow we have had, say 'It's colder not warmer, they must be wrong.' There are a lot of things wrong with taking this view.
One is that the UK may very well get a lot colder with global warming because we may lose the benefit of the Gulf Stream and therefore we will end up with winters much more like Scandinavia with feet of snow every year.
Another is that climate and weather are not synonymous. Our weather is not the same as the climate for the whole world. The Americans have produced figures to say that January this year was the hottest for years globally.
Have they not noticed that our weather is up the creek anyway?
People do make you despair sometimes

Department of Mechanical Engineering for Production, Mining College, Akita University, Akita 010, Japan
Effects of grain-boundary sliding and strenthening by serrated grain boundaries on creep-crack growth are investigated using an austenitic 21Cr-4Ni-9Mn steel at 973 K in air. In surface notched specimens, crack growth rate is lower in specimens with serrated grain boundaries than in those with normal straight grain boundaries at the same stress intensity factor (K1 ), but the difference in crack growth rate between these specimens decreases with crack growth. In smooth bar specimens, growth rate of the largest surface crack is correlated with the average amount of grain-boundary sliding, although a unique relationship is not found between them. Grain-boundary sliding controls the crack growth when the crack size is small, but total creep deformation becomes important and crack linkage occurs with increasing crack length, thus reducing the strengthening effects of serrated grain boundaries.

Fundamental Elements of Practical Geometry
In this page, a short and to-the-point summary of the four elements of practical geometry is provided.
click on the content to continue..
In practical geometry, we study about constructing
• line segments,
• angles
that make different plane-figures like triangles, rectangles, quadrilaterals, etc. Which of the following is a fundamental to practical geometry?
- constructing a line, an arc, an angle, and a parallel
- constructing collinear points, equidistant points, equiangular points, and parallel line.
- both the above
- both the above
The answer is "both the above"
The fundamental elements of practical geometry are
1. constructing a straight line using a ruler (which are points collinear to two points).
2. measuring a distance using a compass and marking an arc (which are points equidistant to the center).
3. measuring an angle using a protractor and marking a ray with the angle (which are points equiangular to the initial point)
4. constructing a parallel using set squares (which are points on a line parallel to a given line)
In the course of the lessons, the secondary elements and the end-applications will be explained. For example, bisecting a line or constructing a parallel line using a compass are some examples of secondary elements. The primary elements are used to construct the secondary elements.
And, constructing a square using the length of a diagonal or constructing a parallelogram are some examples of end-applications. These constructions use combination of primary and secondary elements.
Fundamental Elements of Practical Geometry :
1. constructing a line connecting `2` points
2. constructing an arc of given radius
3. constructing an angle of given measure
4. constructing a parallel at a given distance to a line

We absolutely loved being a part of Alyssa & Dale's wedding day. These two are probably the most friendly, welcoming, easy going and loving couple you could imagine. Not exaggerating - these two make you want to be a better human. There were so many moments to capture all day as they were surrounded with family and friends who clearly care so much about them. Not to mention that they just couldn't stop smiling and kissing each other. The weather was absolutely perfect for them for their outdoor ceremony and reception at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum.
Alyssa and Dale were even so giving as to set some time aside from their wedding day to celebrate some special moments in their friends' lives! They made sure to bring a graduation hat for their friend to throw since she would be missing her grad by being at their wedding, and specially ordered a birthday cupcake for another who was spending her birthday with them!

'Dress up' mandate receives dressing down around league
From wire reports
Published on: 10/19/05
The NBA's new "business casual" dress code goes into effect Nov. 1, the start of the regular season.
The dress code, coupled with NBA Commissioner David Stern's announcement Tuesday that the league would start NBA Cares, a vast public-service initiative, highlights the NBA's latest push to look a little less gangsta and a little more genteel.
Players must adhere to the following requirements at all team or league functions: collared dress shirts or turtlenecks; dress slacks, khaki pants or dress jeans; and dress shoes or boots or—other presentable shoes—with socks; and no sneakers, sandals, flip-flops or work boots.
Players are prohibited from wearing headgear, T-shirts, team jerseys, chains, pendants or medallions. Sunglasses while indoors and headphones, except on the team bus, plane or in the locker room, are also banned.
Players who are on the bench during a game but not in uniform must wear a sports coat.
Both the player and his team will be fined for violating the rules, and repeat offenders could be suspended.
Reactions around the league are mixed, with some players welcoming the chance to spiff up and others none too happy with saying bye-bye to some of their bling.
Notable quotables:
"We decided that the reputation of our players was not as good as our players are, and we could do small things to improve that." ó NBA Commissioner David Stern
"We?re all basketball players, so we're used to wearing sneakers and being comfortable on our feet." ó Ben Gordon, Chicago Bulls
"It's a job and we should look like we're going to work." ó LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
"Are you going to ask players who are married if they're going to tuck in their wedding bands?" ó Richard Hamilton, Detroit Pistons
"I like to dress up." ó Grant Hill, Orlando Magic
"We sell to kids and people who are into the NBA hip-hop world. They may be marketing to the wrong people with this." ó Raja Bell, Phoenix Suns
"During the game, if you're an injured player, a sport coat and slacks should be a bare minimum." ó Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles
"It (stinks), What the hell are dress jeans?" ó Mike Bibby, Sacramento Kings
I just think that?s attacking young, black males. The part about wearing suits, I think we should dress up. But the chains, that's going a little too far." ó Stephen Jackson, Indiana Pacers
"Roll with it." ó Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets
