We enjoyed the use of Serenity Now, especially the welcome wine and delicious cheeses, the complete privacy even outdoors, and Lisa's availability if needed. The cabin is indeed rustic. Of possible interest to others: the nearby hikes are fairly rigorous. Delightful bathroom amenities, including Burt's Bees, etc.
judith2015-07-20T00:00:00ZA very pleasant, clean and well-appointed cabin in a beautiful location. We were having a quiet weekend and we didn't meet our host, but she was extremely responsive by text to our questions. I would return.
Andree2014-09-05T00:00:00ZThis Cabin was a perfect getaway, with a wonderful romantic feel and beautiful views.
Thomas2017-01-24T00:00:00ZAmazing location. Gracious host. Overall great experience. 10/10!
Edward2017-03-05T00:00:00ZHad a lovely time at Lisa's place. The house and the setting were perfectly relaxing and cozy. Lisa was a great host- always available for us but also respectful in letting us have our own space. Definitely recommend the cabin for a Vermont adventure!
Odile2016-08-31T00:00:00ZLisa's place was incredible. It was the perfect cabin for a weekend to just get away. The cabin was prepared with directions to nearby restaurants and hiking trails, along with instructions for everything in the house. The home had such a great cabin house smell. Was definitely one of our favorite weekend getaways and will recommend this to all of our friends!
Jeff2016-11-23T00:00:00ZLisa was a kind, courteous, and communicative host. The cabin was secluded and gorgeous -- everything we could've hoped for! A perfect getaway. You can't go wrong.
Andy2017-02-07T00:00:00ZWe've stayed at the cabin twice now. To us it's the perfect combination of a rural setting (great for walking) and easy access to nearby Brattleboro (a short drive away). It's cozy and romantic and if you're like us, you'll find yourself cutting down on the "activities" just to have more time to sit around the warm cabin and read a good book. We didn't really want anything else.

MatthewVery welcoming and true to description. We loved it. Warm and cozy and still spacious. Beautiful surroundings. Would love to return for another visit.
Jill2016-10-18T00:00:00ZThis was a wonderfully cozy place for my husband and I to stay. We were in the process of moving across the country with our cats and all four of us enjoyed this lovely place.
Miriam2016-10-04T00:00:00ZThe cabin was cozy and comfortable and very clean! It is quite small, but perfect for 2. The view out the back is gorgeous and it feels much more secluded than it is...minutes to town, but when you're inside, you feel like you could be in the middle of nowhere. Bed was comfy, and the gas fireplace was a nice touch.
Lev2017-02-20T00:00:00ZDenis's cottage was perfect for our getaway. Warm and cozy, it was just what we were looking for. Very clean and with all the amenities you need.
Christopher2016-10-31T00:00:00ZThis is a beatiful location in a charming little guest cottage. Close to Brattleboro and trails.
William2017-02-27T00:00:00ZThe cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It was cute and secluded enough while being close to downtown and the Country Club (where we attended a wedding). Dennis was very hospitable and I'd recommend him and his cottage.
John2015-09-21T00:00:00ZThe cottage was adorable and charming, and we had a great time staying there. It was as described and there weren't any surprises. The hosts were friendly and accommodating (we needed some help finding additional bedding) yet not the least bit intrusive. We stayed there as a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) and it's completely doable although the space is small. For a couple this place would be perfect. The stars in the night sky in Vermont can't be beat.

This is a wonderful choice for a stay in the Brattleboro area. Brian and Nanci were lovely and welcoming hosts and their house is as described in the photos-charming, serene and beautifully situated overlooking gardens and valleys. The room was cozy, comfortable and clean and adjoined a private bathroom-you are also welcome to use their main living area. I don't want to heap too much praise on this Airbnb as we want it to be available when we plan to return!!!
JoAnn2015-06-08T00:00:00ZBrian and Nanci are the kind of hosts that make AirBnB work--they're friendly, welcoming, organized, and helpful above and beyond the basics. The house itself is just as delightful--uniquely constructed, sunny and airy, and set in a wonderfully secluded spot in the woods that feels much farther from town than it actually is. It was my partner's first visit to the area and I was returning for the first time in fifteen years, and Brian and Nanci gave us great tips about where to eat, hike, and wander to make the most of our short stay. We also just really enjoyed getting to know them and learning of our mutual connections in the community. This little corner of Vermont has long been close to my heart, and staying with Brian and Nanci was the perfect way to feel at home there again.
Sara Jane2016-07-20T00:00:00ZNanci and Kevin are such great hosts. Their place is fabulous house nestled in natural surroundings. They are organized and had tons of suggestions on places to go and things to do. They are also very interesting people. We would def stay with them again :)
Neze2016-08-13T00:00:00ZThe listing was accurate - actually my bedroom was bigger than the picture led me to believe. The bed and pillows were very, very comfortable; bath was totally fine with a nice large sink platform for ones toiletries. My hosts Brian & Nanci were very, very gracious and accommodating. Really, I felt like I was staying with a favorite cousin. They have a binder with brochures of interesting places to visit in the area; local festivities; and hiking trails. Their home is situated in a bucolic setting. I haven't seen that many stars in a long, long time. Highly recommend Country Getaway in Maple Sugar.
Rosemary2016-09-26T00:00:00ZWe stayed with Brian and nanci for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Not only is their house beautiful, set above the town of guilford, the view is spectacular. The hosts themselves where lovely and we had a great time getting to know them.
Tessa2014-10-22T00:00:00ZBrian and Nanci were amazing hosts! The pictures don't do their home justice. Tucked away in the hills of Guilford, the neighborhood is quiet and scenic. The inside of the house was clean and welcoming, with wood interior and a cabin-like feel. More importantly, Brian and Nanci were very helpful hosts and went out of their way to make me comfortable. I was in town for the opening of Duo Restaraunt. They texted me instructions to help me find the way and even provided coffee and breakfast in the morning, not to mention pleasant and thoughtful conversation. They were the perfect hosts for my first AirBnB experience. Thanks!
Aaron2014-09-23T00:00:00ZNanci was a wonderful hostess. She was ready with a plethora of information of things to do around Guilford, complete with personal map! Her home was lovely and the private bedroom and bathroom were spacious, easily accessible and cozy. She made us feel immediately at home. The view overlooking the pastures was picturesque, and sipping coffee in the morning admiring the rolling hills, sweet farmhouse and the cows was magical. The next time we're in Vermont we'll definitely try to get in with Nanci again. Highly recommend.
Macky2015-11-10T00:00:00ZNanci encouraged us to bring our own food, and was very warm and friendly.

We had the most wonderful time on Steve and Meghan's farm. The Airbnb apartment is adorable, stylish, and cozy. The kitchen is so well stocked and nicely designed that we opted to stay home and cook rather than go out to eat. The farm itself is as picturesque and bucolic as anyone can dream, with ponds to swim or skinny dip in, a sauna and cold dipping pool, cows to play with and fresh veggies to pick. What's more, the house is minutes away from a great ice cream store, downtown Brattleboro and it's wonderful co-op market, berry picking and rivers to swim in. We were so sad to leave at the end of our stay!
Sarah2014-08-28T00:00:00ZOur stay at Sunrise Farm was a perfect family respite at the end of a busy holiday season. Meghan and Steve were very hospitable, attentive and available but not at all intrusive. Prior to our stay they were thorough and prompt with responding to our e-mail inquiries. Upon our arrival Steve greeted us and introduced us to the apartment. The space was cozy and very well equipped for cooking and sharing a full meal together. The wood stove provided ambiance as well as created a very homey atmosphere to relax and play games. This is a lovely rustic Airbnb in a great area of VT.
Julie2016-01-04T00:00:00ZVery peaceful and lovely on a chilly weekend! As soon as we booked, Meghan and Steve were instrumental in assuring that we had everything we needed -- from extra beef for dinner one night (delicious) to an extra room for a last minute addition to our party. The listing was accurate, and the experience exceeded expectations. The well-kept farmhouse, charming environment, friendly atmosphere, warm stove and delicious farm-fresh eggs were just some of the highlights. But Steve and Meghan went above and beyond, offering advice about the area and even some last minute butter when we were about to run out! Like the other reviews, we just wish we arrived earlier on Friday afternoon so that we could have enjoyed a hike on their property or a bit of tea on the porch before dark fell. We would highly recommend this Farm stay to anyone traveling through Southern Vermont, and we look forward to returning there ourselves very soon!
Nancy2015-11-23T00:00:00ZMy family and I had such a wonderful stay at the farm with Meghan and Steve! The 2 bedroom apt was more than enough space for us. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the "welcome snacks" were great. Everything was clean and it felt like home while we were there. We used some of their grass fed beef for dinner one night and it was delicious. We got to feed the chickens in the morning and watch the cows throughout the day. Meghan and Steve were happy to answer any questions and were pleasant and kind. We are looking forward to going back this summer!
Melissa2015-04-16T00:00:00ZCan't say enough about this place and our stay there. Upon arrival, Steve brought us into our apartment for a quick tour. The place was even better than described and he had a fire blazing in the wood burning stove. The grounds are amazing (although we didn't see enough of them, so we clearly need to return). The homemade granola was phenomenal. We are definitely going to plan a trip back, but would love to get both places and fill it with family (and include some hiking and mt biking this time). We were able to score some beef, steaks and chicken right from the farm. We'll have to place an order before we go next time, to hold us over till future visits. Highly recommend the the farm-stay.
Kevin2014-11-23T00:00:00ZThis was one of our best AirBnb stays ever! Meghan was so nice and available. The house is an amazing piece of history to stay in. We were newbies to using a wood burning stove but she walked us through everything. The fridge was stocked with milk, butter, farm fresh eggs and maple syrup. We made breakfast ourselves almost every morning. I'm quite the foodie and was impressed to see how well stocked the kitchen was! Everything from a teapot & tea to well seasoned cast iron skillets and even child sized utensils for the kids. It was awesome! During our visit we drive around Vermont, NH and Mass. It was great to get back to the house each night. The beds had gorgeous clean linens on them and were very comfy. Our kids are 4 & 6 yrs old and loved going up and down the stairs and having their own room. Every day we took the kids out to explore the different trails on the farm. It was beautiful! From the chair in the living room you could see the cows grazing in the pasture. The location is perfect for visiting some great restaurants in Brattleboro. It was close enough for a quick 15 minute ride to shops and restaurants but far enough out in the country that it's peaceful and a great retreat! Meghan let me kids go around with her collecting eggs and they even helped name her three new bull calves. We live on a homestead in Florida ourselves and were interested in seeing how homesteaders in Vermont do things. We are considering moving up to Vermont next year and this amazing stay really helped us seal the deal! We love it here! The land, the peace and the people. Definitely book a trip to stay with Meghan and Steve! You won't regret it. I'm actually booking my next stay while I write this review. Will be there again in July! Yay!!
Vanessa 2016-04-14T00:00:00ZOh, my, what an amazing experience. I want to move in permanently. Actually though, this was a very welcoming place to stay for the Thanksgiving holiday. The kitchen was well supplied with equipment, and for the few extra things I needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my family, Megan provided high quality cooking pans and appliances from her own kitchen! Megan's raspberry jam was exceptional as part of her welcome for this time of year as the berries from it burst with flavor, and I am a foodie. They tasted like fresh picked in a jam. We just felt enveloped in love by the land, Megan and Stave. They were there when we needed them, yet unobtrusive if we had needed more privacy. There was a deep snow in the middle of our stay, but the roads were plowed immediately, so travel was great by the next day. Their loving care of the people they host is mirrored in their care of the animals and their land. I love that the apartment is heated by a very effective wood stove. I even used it for heating water for tea, instead of the electric stove, and to make bone broth, thus fulfilling a long term dream of mine. The bedrooms were cute with a huge touch of history throughout the apartment. Megan gave us a tour of the land when we arrived so would be able to meet the animals, walk the trails, see the views.
Richard2014-12-13T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderfully enjoyable stay at Brattleboro. The space was Spacious and thoughtfully designed. Meghan and Steve were kind, very generous and welcoming. Our kids adored egg collecting with Meghan. It was the highlight of their day. They had lots of fun in the pond on the farm too. We were thrilled to have the use of your wonderful garden. I haven't had rhubarb so good since I used to pick it from my grandmothers farm. Meghan provided fresh eggs, butter milk, granola and honey. We added fresh raspberries and stewed rhubarb. A wonderful morning treat. The kitchen also has a great array of spices, oils etc. There are plenty fresh herbs in the garden. It's a chefs paradise (pity I'm not a chef!). Locally there is a stunningly beautiful swimming hole at Green River Dam, not to be missed. So many highlights. We were there during the annual guilford fair which the kids, my dad and our family all enjoyed. A wonderful break. Can't praise it highly enough.

Our rooms were very comfortable with many thoughtful touches and wonderful, comfy beds. The space was spotless and it had a well equipped kitchen area. This peaceful and picturesque location is very convenient to everything including Brattleboro and Keene. Katherine and Daniel were charming hosts and we hope to return again.
Carol 2016-07-06T00:00:00ZWe had a really lovely time staying in The Carriage House! Everything was in place for our family of four to enjoy our stay. A special thanks to Katherine for making sure that our children would be extra safe with that gate installation. Ezra adored sharing a room with Manometer, he can now say Deer! Daniel took time to visit with us and tell us all about the Carriage House, making sure we had what we needed and encouraging us to seek help in any way. Thanks so much, Katherine and Daniel.
Jaimee2016-06-23T00:00:00ZJust as described. Tastefully decorated. Great setting. Quiet. Very close to brattleboro. Had perfect september weather. Really enjoyed staying here.
Walter2016-09-25T00:00:00ZWe had a fabulous stay at Katherine's carriage house. Katherine and Daniel were excellent hosts and provided us with many ideas for things to do during our stay. The comfort, style and location of their space can not be outdone. We had everything we needed and felt right at home. Their renovated space had the perfect combination of old world charm and modern day amenities with a well stocked kitchen space and comfy, cozy beds. We will definitely be back!
Mary2016-07-11T00:00:00ZThe place was perfect for my small family. Katherine made sure my two year old daughter was safe by installing a safety gate at the top of the stairs. The place was spacious, clean, and extremely welcoming. I would stay here again.
Maria2016-07-26T00:00:00ZMy mom and sisters stayed in Katherine's place for a little leaf peeping get away and we absolutely loved it. The place is clean, decorated beautifully and is just as described. It is very close to Brattleboro, one of the towns that we love to spend time in and is surrounded in a gorgeous setting. I'm going to keep this one on my wish list for future visits to the area.
Jennifer2016-10-11T00:00:00ZWe have stayed at a number of AirBnb places over the last three years, and this one was the most beautiful and well-curated of them all. A really gorgeous space, very carefully and tastefully restored, with comfortable beds and beautiful art. We didn't want to leave the carriage house. It also had air conditioning which was very handy as the temperature was well into the 90s. The beds were comfortable and the setting was very Vermontish. We were unfortunately just there for a day, on a short bicycle trip, so weren't able to do any hiking. We did see frogs jumping across the road in a thunderstorm. Thanks again for a really beautiful stay.
Eric2016-08-15T00:00:00ZKatherine was responsive and helpful leading up to our trip. The property was beautiful and made for the perfect getaway just two hours from the Boston area. We took advantage of her local insights and took her recommendations for swimming holes, a farmers' market, and a brunch spot in town. The place was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely come back here.

What a clean and cozy spot. Amazing view as promised. Beautiful location. Very comfortable bed! Thanks Jim!
beth2016-05-31T00:00:00ZJim was very accommodating and welcoming. He gave explicit instructions about how to get to this special, rustic hideaway, and he welcomed us in person after we arrived. He and his wife, Cindy, were very generous with their time, sharing their unique story with us, as well as information about the area and their beautifully situated home. The space was comfortable, warm and charming. Beyond the amazing scenery outside, the apartment was simply furnished with all the essentials, and the bed was VERY comfortable. We really made ourselves at home - enjoying a cup of tea on that cold night and coffee in the morning. We were even able to do a load of laundry (which came in handy after a dinner mishap in town). This was the perfect getaway for the weekend. We are so glad to have met Jim and Cindy, and we look forward to returning again soon!
Nancy2016-03-08T00:00:00ZGreat place, beautiful setting. Jim was there to welcome us when we arrived. Bring snow tires if you're coming up this country road during snowfall--but if you don't, the neighbors are beyond friendly and willing to help out.
Galen2016-02-20T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay, so quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately we could only stay one night as we had prebooked somewhere else but would have loved to stay longer. Thanks!
Daniel2016-09-08T00:00:00Z3 friends and I spent a weekend here and went skiing at Mt Snow (about 45 mins away by car). The place is great, fully stocked, quiet and with a lovely view. Went into Brattleboro (15 mins drive) for dinners, note that things close earlier than in bigger cities. Didn't get to meet Jim unfortunately, but we had everything we needed and had a great time.
Siddharth2017-02-20T00:00:00ZCindy was friendly, welcoming and responsive to our needs. The landscape was beautiful, the apartment was very quiet, comfortable & fit the description well. We enjoyed our stay & would gladly return sometime; the area had plenty of interesting things to explore while we were there. Thank you, Jim & Cindy for the lovely getaway & warm hospitality. Jim & Chris
Jim 2016-08-13T00:00:00ZJim made everything very easy. The place had everything we needed and felt very private. The view is great and the whole area is charming. Jim also helped with making suggestion for activities in the area. In two days we managed to pack in: hiking, shopping at a farm stand, swimming in a gorgeous brook, visiting covered bridge, picking blueberries, shopping for outdoor gear, visit to Brattleboro.
Radostina2016-08-01T00:00:00ZJim was extremely accommodating and welcoming during our entire trip. We were running late getting to the apt and he was very understanding, making sure we would have everything we needed no matter the time. The apartment itself is wonderful. It is simple, but has everything you need and more. His collection of movies is wonderful, though with the gorgeous scenery right outside, you may find you have no time for watching them! All in all, it was a delight to stay there and I am already trying to find a time to return for a longer stint. One of my best experiences on Airbnb.

Raph2016-07-25T00:00:00ZSusan's place was great for an overnight in souther VT. She was responsive and helpful in navigating me to her property. I arrived at night and didn't get to see the property's beauty till the morning. Would definitely go back again!
Chris2016-11-20T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay here! Susan had left some fans running for us so the high heat was really no problem at all. The bedrooms, kitchen/dining area, and living room are all very spacious. While a little bit sparse (i.e. largely empty shelves and walls), we found the home to be very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. One of us would have welcomed a firmer mattress, but that's of course a personal preference. It was wonderful having two porches to choose from, and feeling the country serenity and space outdoors and in! Guilford is a pleasant town, with a great ice cream place and also a country/general store/cafe -- both 7 or 8 minutes away. Not far from Brattleboro or the Massachusetts border, the location worked out nicely for us. Thanks so much, Susan!
Eric2016-07-19T00:00:00ZI enjoyed my stay at Susan's Peaceful Country Home. The name she has chosen describes the house very well. We arrived in a hot day and cooling fans running in all the rooms. I liked the spacious kitchen that is very inviting to get a group of friends around it and the cozy living room with large windows.
Alexandra2016-08-15T00:00:00Zwhat a wonderfull relaxing stay in a clean comfortable house. on a quiet back road but just a few minuets from town.it is the perfict get away from home. Susan is very flexable and acomadating and I hope to stay again!
kara2017-02-23T00:00:00ZWe had an awesome stay here. Great place to relax and recover from a long day of snowboarding.
Daniel2017-02-24T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay here over thanksgiving weekend. This area of Guilford is really beautiful and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The house is well stocked and nice and simple. perfect for us as we have 2 toddlers who could roam around safely. I would definitely recommend this home and I hope to return.
Julie2016-11-29T00:00:00ZThis was our second stay at Susan's place and once again, our expectations were met and exceeded. This rental offers the best of both worlds... modern conveniences and close proximity to town, while still being secluded, private and quite!

Margie was a great host and communicated quickly about our stay. The cottage was clean and cozy and we enjoyed making full use of the kitchen during our stay. The view beyond the family home is breathtaking and the nearby town of Brattleboro reminds us of the beautiful mountain towns of Western NC.
Jenn2016-10-28T00:00:00ZMargie made me feel welcomed before I even arrived. She was quick with her communication, making sure I had accurate and detailed directions. The first thing we noticed upon our arrival was the view past the house, it was just stunning. The entryway was decorated with freshly planted mums for the fall, and there were chairs set up to enjoy the outdoors. The downstairs bedroom windows overlook nothing but trees and forest, a special treat with a morning rain. The cottage is even prettier than the pictures, with full tub and shower and ample closet space. The beds were extremely comfortable and every last touch was thought of. Hand towels, wash cloths and full size towels were provided, as well as ample paper products. The bedding was clean and fresh. There is very nice air flow throughout the cottage, making for a great night's sleep. The bathroom and kitchen both have working fans that conveniently run on timers. The kitchen is fully stocked of pots, pans, cutlery and misc. kitchen utensils if you would like to make a lovely meal. It was a treat to be able to enjoy a cup of tea before bed. I want to add that the cottage runs well water, and does indeed taste absolutely wonderful. I as sure to fill my water bottle before we left! Everything was clean and in superb shape. A stack of classic board games was also tucked away for our enjoyment. A game of "Life", anyone? =) Margie definitely went out of her way to make sure we felt welcomed, and it was so appreciated. She made herself available if we had any questions, although we didn't need to reach her. There is a house manual that explains everything in detail for guests. Our hostess took care of every last touch, adding in little extra amenities, even down to a sweet chocolate bar. I would recommend this cottage to friends and family, and we already are making plans for a longer stay.
Angelina2016-09-19T00:00:00ZWe felt very welcome!! Margie did her best to make sure we felt very welcomed - fresh toothbrushes, chocolate, and other supplies and a lovely note! Her place was clean and picturesque. We wouldn't change a thing!
Shannon2016-10-09T00:00:00ZMargie home is a dream! It was spotlessly clean and the beds were super comfortable woth the softest sheets! The home has a pieceful energy and warmth. Margie is a very warm and caring host. The soroundings are just perfect and I will definitely come again!!
yael2016-09-27T00:00:00ZLovely place in a gorgeous environment! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Amy2016-10-18T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I stayed one night after a day of driving. Margie was accommodating with our late night check in. We needed a good night's rest and the bed on the first floor was very comfortable. Bonus: waking up and looking out the window right behind the bed into the woods... beautiful! The cottage was clean. And Margie was really thoughtful considering all of the small details that make all of the difference when staying somewhere, like toiletries, travel toothbrushes and toothpaste, orange winter hats for a walk since it's hunting season, comprehensive "instructions", and some yummy Riesen chocolates for us. For us this place was an inspiration and a much needed visual since we are just getting started with turning our 2 car garage into a small cottage ourselves. I would definitely stay here again! The area is just so beautiful to drive through, although we did get there late last nigh and although the climb up in the car was a bit scary for us "city folk" in what i think was a combo of clouds and fog, it was a beautiful adventure!

Beautiful place, easy to find and lovely to spend time in. David and Kathleen are easy to reach via messaging any time throughout your stay if you have any questions, but everything was very straightforward. My friends and I had a lovely weekend.
Ryan2017-01-02T00:00:00ZOld Franklin Farm was the perfect getaway for our family for the OctoberFest. The house was clean, easy access with the code. We were driving from CT and hence reached only by midnight. It was dark and we initially drove all the way towards the end of the street before realizing we had missed the path that takes us to the house. Took us some time to figure out the way and Mr. David's message on the directions helped us. Everything was setup for us in the house. It took us some time to get the temperature up. Mr. David was responding to any of our queries even in the midnight,while we were trying to settle down. He again checked with us the next morning if everything was fine. He was a pleasant host to deal with !! Even after a week after we checked out, he helped us with the billing information, so that we can talk to AirBnb. This place has everything you need for a getaway and you won't complain.
Prasanna2015-10-23T00:00:00ZMy friends and I had a wonderful stay at David & Kathy's home. The property is beautiful with rolling hills and scenic views, and the house was lovely, proving great for a group. The large, open kitchen was ideal for preparing meals and the living/dining area and deck were spacious for entertaining. The bedrooms were comfortable and 2.5 baths kept bathroom waits to a minimum. We capped off our stay with a wonderful breakfast of blueberry pancakes (picked at a local farm), prepared with mix and syrup David and Kathy graciously left. Should also mention they were extremely responsive hosts and quickly answers any questions our group had related to the house/accommodations.
Charlotte2016-08-02T00:00:00ZDavid and Kathleen's home is very spacious, clean, and beautiful. It accommodates a large family, and allows for privacy as well as group gatherings. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped to help make this space feel more like home. Downtown Brattleboro is about 20 minutes away, but is doesn't seem too far considering the views and privacy this home has to offer.
Allison2016-11-23T00:00:00ZThis was the perfect space to stay with several other friends for a wedding. The house is large, clean, and comfortable. The outside patio/deck was a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset. The hosts were very responsive whenever we had any questions. Overall, a great experience!
Lisa2016-06-18T00:00:00ZThe information in the listing was accurate. The home was bigger and more comfortable than we imagined. David made contacts with us via phone and email and was prompt to answer calls and questions. The kitchen is very well equipped and the appliances top of the line. Everything in the house worked as it should. It was clean and organized and situated in a lovely rural setting. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Vicki2014-10-22T00:00:00ZEveryone on the crew really appreciated the quality of the staying. The rooms are nice and comfortable, the kitchen is clean and well organized and we really enjoyed the place all together to relax after our ride. You guys have a very nice place.
Antoine2014-09-07T00:00:00ZThe Logan family's house is amazing! David was very helpful throughout the booking process and was very responsive for any questions we had before and during our stay. Check-in was a breeze, and the property was definitely beyond our expectations. The house itself was very clean, well-equipped for all the culinary explorations we wanted to do and very relaxing. The backyard, abandoned barn and walking around the house was so scenic during sunset. This was the perfect getaway from the city. The list of recommended activities they left for us were also very useful. We enjoyed some local hikes and swam in the river like they suggested. We did not get to meet the Logan family during our stay, but I'll definitely try to find another time to visit the farm again!

Lara helped immensely in the planning and execution of our trip from NYC to VT. She gave me suggestions for a local bakery (for a surprise birthday cake!), swimming areas and hiking maps so we could really soak in the area. While the pictures look great, they don't do this place justice for how beautiful the backyard is. Wonderful flowers and gardens! Picnic tables and fire pits, not to mention two hammocks to nap in after a hike and so much space to play with friends and family. We grilled out every evening and played their board games and card games late into the night. The house is warm and pleasantly decorated and it really felt like the relaxing home away from home we all needed. You can tell they really love their space and took care of it with heart and soul! Wish we could go back right now!..

Margie was very gracious and hospitable. Great views from the house. We really enjoyed our stay.
Amy Rose2015-10-16T00:00:00ZMargie was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The views from the house are great, the house is nicely tucked away but close to Brattleboro which has many cute shops and restaurants (but hours can be limited!) Great wifi connection in the house. Plenty of privacy. Nice private bathroom - his and hers sinks, a deep bathtub. Drive safe if you visit in the winter and enjoy the beautiful views!
Gwen2016-01-04T00:00:00ZThe hospitality was top notch. Margie was super communicative and made it very easy for us to find her place and get settled. The room was spotless. Excellent views.. close to Brattleboro... I highly recommend this listing to everyone! Would happily stay again if we're in the area.
Dan2016-02-16T00:00:00ZMargie was amazing! We were looking last minute for a place to stay and while it was rather late, she was willing to accommodate us. Margie definitely can recommend some great places to eat, shop, be entertained, etc. as she is really knowledgeable about things to do in the area. When staying with Margie, it feels like a home away from home and she is such a lovely women with great energy. If you are looking for a place to stay in Vermont, Margies location is absolutely the way to go!

Terry is very easy to communicate with - it was such a pleasure meeting her and staying in this quintessential 19th Century Vermont farmhouse. The property is amazing! This will be a stunning location for fall foliage - we were just a tad early. I enjoyed sitting on the porch with tea and walking to the West River and through the old cemetery which are both on her property. The snacks and drinks available in the kitchen area and breakfast served exceeded expectations. She even offered for my daughter, who attends a nearby college to join us for breakfast. Bed linens were scrumptious. Very clean room/bath. This was such a great accommodation that I booked my next stay already!
Teresa 2016-10-02T00:00:00ZTerry and Nick are gracious hosts-- very warm and considerate. The West River Inn is located in a beautiful part of VT and is very charming. The atmosphere is comfortable, peaceful and inviting. The West River Room we stayed in was very clean and nicely decorated. Terry's Sunday morning breakfast was delicious. We are definitely going back sometime! Thank you Terry and Nick for creating a wonderful get-away!
Moira2015-08-12T00:00:00ZMy husband and I had such a pleasant time in Terry's house. We came to Vermont for skiing at Mount Snow and stayed with Terry for two nights. There is a place you really feel like at home! Terry and her husband Nick put so much love in what they do. We arrived late night Friday and Nick was so kind to wait for us to let us in and he also introduced us to our room. The room itself was really cute and had a big private bathroom. Everything was nice and clean. The bed had a good mattress. I have back problems, but I didn't feel any back pain sleeping there. Terry met us next morning, she was so hospitable and thoughtful! She served us very very delicious breakfast. First morning we had fresh orange juice, eggs with bacon, homemade granola, apple pie, blueberry pancakes and fresh berries salad. Next morning we had waffles with fresh berries and sausages. The food and servings were as in a very good restaurant. The granola was so good that I asked Terry for the recipe and will try to cook it by myself. We can't wait to come again!
Irina2015-03-07T00:00:00ZWe were so honored to be Terry and Nick's first Airbnb group! They were the best hosts we have ever stayed with and made us feel extremely welcome the whole weekend. We came up for a weekend of snowboarding at Mount Snow and the conditions were amazing, the mountain is only 30mins away from their house, so it was perfectly located. Terry and Nick cooked us incredible breakfasts both mornings and left us treats throughout the house and a beautiful red rose in our bedroom for Valentines day. There was another group staying at the Inn and we had such a great time with them too. Their Inn is perfect for all seasons, we can't wait to come for another snowboarding weekend and are looking forward to a warm weather trip. The house is clean and cozy and has a great bed and breakfast set up. The beds were comfy and it was so quiet out there! We would absolutely recommend Terry and Nick's Inn to all and we look forward to coming back ! They are thoughtful and generous hosts, we look forward to seeing you both soon! Lots of love, Liz, Nathan, Matt and Alyssa.
liz2015-02-15T00:00:00ZNick and Terry were very friendly, and they run a very nice old inn. Everything about our stay was great! Great room, great area, and we got to meet a bunch of cows, horses, and dogs!

This house was lovely! Our group maxed out the bed capacity, and we found it to be more than enough space for all of us to relax together. We especially loved the huge back porch, where we were able to do some incredible stargazing, and we enjoyed the large lounge space with huge bay windows. Even though it was the thick of July, we found the house to be sufficiently cool with all the windows open at night and the blinds closed in the day. We had a great stay!
Max2015-07-25T00:00:00ZThe house was very spacious and had a cool cabin feel. The place felt very clean, we had no issues feeling right at home. Even with nearly -20 degree temps, the house was very warm and the fire was the best thing to come back to. We had 6 guests and easily could have fit many more comfortably. Amy was very responsive, very helpful and laid everything out about "how to operate the house" the week before arrival. Another positive - 3 excellent mountains are ~30 minutes away for prime skiing/snowboarding. Would definitely come back again!
Noreen2016-02-16T00:00:00Zour experience at Amy's house was great! The house was clean and warm when we got there. We even had a last minute change on what day we were arrive and she was able to accommodate us. She was very helpful and easy to get a hold of at al times. The house was also very cute with enough beds and seating for 5. There were also Christmas lights inside the house to give it a great atmosphere for New Years. The wood burning stove was also great to use!
savannah2015-01-03T00:00:00ZGreat VT getaway! 30 mins to skiing at Mt. Snow, 25 mins to restaurants and creature comforts in Brattleboro. The house is spacious, cozy, clean and comfortable. Amy was easily reachable and helpful.
Bethany2016-03-05T00:00:00ZAmy was a fantastic host! She was extremely responsive and helpful. Our friends and I loved the house. It was spacious, comfortable and clean. We used the wood-burning stove every evening and appreciated the stocked kitchen and the board games. Thank you!!
Ed2015-02-18T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at Amy's home. It was just as described - cozy and comfortable. Favorite part was the awesome wood-burning stove - it heats the entire home for the evening with 5 pieces of wood - for some reason, that was very satisfying. Location was great - we skied at Stratton, went tubing at Magic Mountain, had dinner & shopped one night in Brattleboro. We cooked a few meals and found the kitchen to have what we needed. We loved this house and enjoyed our stay tremendously.
Emily E2017-02-28T00:00:00ZBeautiful and spacious home. You'll find everything you could possibly want or need here for a fabulous Green Mountain State vacation! Amy's commipunications were prompt, thoughtful and accurate. We shall return!
Robert2016-10-09T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at this cabin in the Vermont woods. The house is immaculately clean and, while some of the fixtures are older, it provides everything you need for a family vacation. The decor with music items is charming, we loved sitting on the enclosed porch, and we found a nearby snowmobile trail to a creek to walk our dog. The house cooled down nicely at night with the window fans. Internet was fast! One note for families with small children - the upper level has a railing that is not safe for little ones. You need to be careful with kids up there.

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful stay with Terry this weekend - she made us feel right at home in her cozy B&B! From the moment I made my reservation she was friendly and communicative, and most importantly able to be reached when I needed to be in contact. She was very effective at communication and even stayed up late for us to arrive. Terry and her husband welcomed us to the Inn and even "upgraded" us to another room (one with a private bathroom) at no charge. Such a nice and unexpected gesture. I had a cold and she made me hot tea with honey, and even offered me a snack at 10pm. She had already baked blueberry buckle and even homemade flaxseed crackers for one of the other guests who was gluten-free. Talk about going out of your way to make someone feel at home. That's when I knew we had made a great choice in where to stay! Her personal touches really made all the difference. Terry & her husband were very personable and stayed up late talking to me about their story and how they came to own a B&B in Vermont (I encouraged them with my questions). Very fun stories! We had a great night's sleep and woke up for an 8am breakfast before setting out to ski at a nearby mountain. We came downstairs to an unprecedented breakfast spread - and on top of that, Terry cooked our eggs to order! I have never had such personal treatment at a B&B - it's usually just whatever is cooked is served. She cooked scrambled eggs for my boyfriend and over easy for me, both with bacon (we were given the choice of sausage as well). The presentation of the breakfast plates was what you would expect at a fine dining restaurant - wish I could post a picture here. She served us fresh-squeezed orange juice (from her juicer), coffee and tea of all varieties, a huge bowl of fruit salad, homemade granola, and even cooked us blueberry pancakes. Oh! And how could I forget the freshly baked apple cobbler with homemade whipped cream? I am not one to go on and on, but this stay deserved it. I left feeling full and happy. We got to meet Terry & Nick's dogs too, beautiful bloodhounds and Australian shepherds. Horse farm next door is very picturesque. We are honored to have been some of the first guests at this wonderful B&B in Vermont, and I look forward to taking my mother back next month so she can experience true Vermont rustic charm and the "Northern Hospitality" that Terry provided during our stay. Thank you again!! Look forward to our next stay.
Lauren2015-02-23T00:00:00ZEverything was great. Lovely place, and Terry was really nice and showed us around.
Juan Gabriel2015-08-26T00:00:00ZTerry and Nick were very welcoming and laid back. Their BnB is beautiful, homey, and very well-kept. They have amazing dogs that they keep outside and in their private apartment. You can hear horses whinnying across the street--it's charming. Their property is set against a stunning backdrop of fields and misty hills in the distance and there are so many neat places to visit in the area. Homemade breakfast is delicious and Terry and Nick are happy to chat and share info but never never overbearing. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time being welcomed by them and visiting cheese shops, swimming in the nearby river, hiking, visiting Brattleboro. Don't miss the Saturday farmer's market if it's happening while you are there!
Amira2015-07-26T00:00:00ZWOW. My wife and I were in a bind and were fortunate enough to book the last room at the West River Inn the night before our trip. Terry and Nick could not have made us feel more at home on our first trip to Vermont. Not only is their home incredibly cozy and beautiful, it's located in one of the most beautiful areas I've seen in NE. The fall foliage was truly spectacular. We visited on a weekend where almost all of the other guests were folks returning to the B&B which is a testament to how great of an experience Terry and Nick provide. We shared a bathroom with some other guests which was fine with us, but I believe some of the rooms have private baths. Everyone staying was so kind that it hardly mattered, and despite being an older house we had no problems with noise. All of the charm and none of the drawbacks. The absolute best part of our stay was the food. Cupcakes, pumpkin bread, and apple crisp was waiting for us and the other guests upon our arrival. Breakfast was fresh juice and fruit, along with hawaiian bread french toast and bacon with, of course, local maple syrup. We've been to quite a few B&Bs, and in a world of last-night's bagels and fruit baskets, this type of service is incredibly rare. Please, do yourself a favor and book your stay at the West River Inn - You won't regret it!
Jason2015-10-19T00:00:00ZMy parents were visiting from out of town and stayed with Terry. They had a great time and really enjoyed staying with Terry. The breakfast was delicious, their room was comfortable and the company was the best part!
Phoebe2015-08-19T00:00:00ZWe're arriving home with such good, warm feelings from our stay at the Inn. On our first day we entered the cozy house to the sweet smell of fresh baked goods and a warm welcome from Terry. (Within 10 minute my husband had eaten about 4 muffins:) From the moment we got there Terry and Nick made us feel right at home. Terry was the perfect hostess and totally spoils her guests! We quickly became friends and knowing it was our anniversary, she surprised us with a homemade chocolate cake to celebrate!! She is always checking up, making sure you have everything you need and more, cooking delicious breakfast with fresh pressed juice every morning, Vermont bacon, pancakes or French toast, etc! It's obvious she wants her guests to feel as comfortable as possible. We felt like old friends when we left, and we genuinely want to return to this place- there's something special about it and I believe it comes from having incredible hosts. All of the other couples could feel this vibe too, and it created such a pleasant, family- like atmosphere in all our interactions with the other guests. I arrived as a burnt out 9 months pregnant lady and left feeling totally loved on, spoiled and rested. What does that tell you?! In terms of the location and neighborhood, the Inn is situated on a quiet Vermont road surrounded by nature, next to a horse farm. So peaceful. You can relax on the porch at the Inn, go for a country walk, or go exploring as we did! About 10 minutes up the road is quaint Newfane, and also Williamsville (where we went to this cute little restaurant and had the best farm to table food- ask Terry!). Brookline is a good starting off point surrounded by lots of scenic roads, and only about an hour from beautiful Woodstock as well as a host of other cute towns. We went yardsaling, antiquing, leaf peeping and ate amazing food. A big thank you to Terry for helping us make a memorable anniversary weekend. We will be back!!

It is always the little things, that make a big different. The house, the room and the area are very lovely. But the best was the commitment of Terry as a host. We felt very comfortable and welcome from the very first moment. Thank you. PS: She really loves people and animals.
Andreas2015-08-30T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time. Terry and Nick welcomed us as if we were long lost family. The room was just as the photos showed it and what the pictures don't show are the antique oak furnishings with beautiful old marble tops and bezeled mirrors. The surrounding country was gorgeous with open fields all around you and a horse farm across the road. We woke up to see 50 horses out in their various paddocks. The dining area was bright and colorful with seasonal decorations (Halloween when we were there and we were served a scrumptious breakfast each day. Terry takes pride in having a different menu selection for each day you are there. As with any B&B, you are on your own for lunch and dinner. However, homemade self-serve snacks were available throughout the day. (By the way, if you are diabetic like me, Terry will try to structure your menu to meet your needs.) In the evening, guests were encouraged to gather in the living room while Terry and Nick served snacks and coffee. As a result, we got to meet and enjoy the companionship of many people we would not have otherwise met. Overall, our stay with Terry and Nick rates 5 st*rs from our point of view.
Bill2015-10-08T00:00:00ZGreeted by a couple of friendly large dogs with some wonderful Vermont cheese and crackers and apple crisp waiting for us on arrival! Room was very clean and has lovely views of the neighbors horses across the street. Breakfasts of french toast with fruit and baked potato with scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns was perfect -with freshly squeezed orange juice to boot. Terry & Nick are warm and friendly and fascinating people to talk to. Really enjoyed hearing their life stories. Would love to return soon!

Judith2014-10-21T00:00:00ZWarm and wonderful apartment. This quiet retreat was the perfect getaway for my work trip. Katrina was very responsive to all questions. Would gladly stay again!
Skye2016-10-15T00:00:00ZMy husband and I had such a wonderful time at Katharina's (URL HIDDEN) a great place for such a great price! Yes, it's true. There isn't much to do in Colrain but you are about 10 minutes from Shelburne Falls and about a half hour away from Brattleboro, VT. We felt so at home in the apartment. It's so quite and homey. Katharina's mother Ava greeted us when we arrived. She was very nice and inviting. The apartment was very clean and had character. Down the street from the apartment are a couple of farms and such beautiful land. It made me forget that I was in Massachusetts! I only hope that we are able to stay again at this sweet place.
Melissa2015-09-09T00:00:00ZThe welcoming instructions about where to park, who else lives in the building, emergency numbers, how to get the key, and making the internet accessible were most helpful. The apartment was very neat with such things as eggs and butter in the refrigerator and coffee and tea right by the coffeemaker. The bed was made up attractively with extra bedding easily available in the bedroom closet. When we were unsure of how to work the heater and get phone service, the in--person help answered our needs.
Judith2014-10-11T00:00:00ZI enjoyed my stay at the Colrain apartment. The place was clean, and linens, towels, and cofee/tea/butter/eggs were provided (which i really appreciate.) The neighbors were friendly as well. Katharina was very helpful and responsive. I was really impressed with her communication skills. She will always try to accommodate her guests, even if she's not accessible in person. Her mother was the perfect host to greet me. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to crash, then I would definitely recommend staying here. :)
mark2014-07-23T00:00:00ZCommunication between Kat and her Mom, Ava was always prompt. The description of the location was accurate. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Kat and Ava made every effort to make my stay pleasant. The story of what happened during Hurricane Irene is sad and it's also one of courage, determination and hard work.
Paul2016-09-10T00:00:00ZKatharina's place was clean and quiet, and her mother and Katharina were super accomodating to us last minute. Colrain is a true rural New England town and super quanit. While there isn't much in Colrain, but is is right between Shelburne Falls and Greenfield, two adorable towns with great places to eat, etc.

2. Sri Lanka's Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sector
The primary sector can be clarified as the products of nature from the natural resources such as the products are obtained from the ocean or the land. Based on this definition the companies can be categorized into Primary sector such company as processing of rubber, tea, coconuts, tobacco and other agricultural commodities. Companies such as Ceylon Graphite Mining Company, Ceylon Tobacco Company and Dilmah Tea manufacture are shown as a good example of Primary sector.
The secondary sector of the economy manufactures finished goods. Which is converts natural resources into products for the marketplace. Activities are related with the secondary sector which includes automobile production, textile production and engineering industries. Companies such as Shan Textile Engineering Works, Mallika Hemachandra Jewellers Ltd and Sri Lanka Rubber Manufacturing Export Co.,Ltd are shown as a good example of secondary sector.

Activities are related with this sector which includes retail and wholesale sales, transportation and entertainments. Companies such as Dialog Telekom Ltd, John Keels Holdings Ltd, Grayline Namdo Transportation Lanka (Pvt) Ltd and ODEL (Pvt) Ltd are shown as a good example of tertiary sector.
( Rosenberg M, 2007 ) / ( Wikipedia, Economy of Sri Lanak, 2006 )
2.1 Large, Medium and Small scale of production
The term scale of production refers to the quantity or numbers of a product made. The quantity of products made depends on the needs of the customers. The company chooses the appropriate manufacturing process after making the products.
Its decisions will be influenced by the:
Volume or quantities of products required
Types of materials used to make the products
Type of product being manufactured
Number of employees
For instance, the companies which have more than 250 full-time employees such as Suntel Ltd and Lanka Electricity Company are shown as a good example of large scale of production. Moreover, the companies which are based from 50 up to 250 full-time employees such as Jinasena Pumps Limited, EDS Development (Pvt) Ltd and Tuffline Ltd are shown as a good example of medium scale of production. Besides, the companies which are based less than 50 full-time employees such as Logistics International Ltd and Colombo International Nautical & Engineering College Ltd are shown as a good example of small scale of production.
2.2 Economic system
Economic system is a basic set of rules used to allocate a society's resources to satisfy its citizens' needs. Although every economy fails with scarcity of resources, different economic systems develop and add-up different methods to overcome scarcity and maximize the economy welfare. For instance, the market economy system is the economic system in which the way people spend their money determines which products will be produced and what those products will cost. In addition, it is also referred to as a capitalist economy or private enterprise economic system. Besides, the market economy allocates resources and distribution of goods and services throughout the economy with minimal control and regulation. ( Vashist R, 2008 ) / ( Wikipedia, 2007 )
In addition, the five key elements which distinguish a market economy from other types of economic system are:
- Private ownership
- Decentralized decision
- Self-interest
- Allocation by price
- Efficiency is valued
According to the economic system, Sri Lanka is the mixed capitalism in which operation of the free market is influenced to some degree by government involvement. In other word, it is the combine elements of market forces with state intervention and planning and it is also dynamic and constantly changing its structure with varying levels of government intervention and market characteristics. For instance, in the year 2007, they intervened in the import of widely used food items and drugs. Besides, in early 1970s, they intervened in agricultural marketing by offering guaranteed prices to farmers for selected food crops.
( Weliwita. A, Epaarachchi. R, 2003)
2.3 Public and Private sector
The public sector is the part of a national economy owned and controlled by the state. It includes nationalized industries, national and local government services, and public corporations. For instance, rail transport, electricity, gas, water services and telecommunications have all been government monopolies. Furthermore, the public sector can support the market in case of Sri Lankan economy is faced to the economical crisis when the market is affected by unpredictable factors. For example, Ceylon Electricity Board, as a government public sector intends to provide privilege to public society through supplying a proposed low rate of electricity. Whereas, private sector is an economy in which goods and services are produced by individuals and companies as opposed to the government.

Table 2, Market structure
3.1Identifying market structure
The market structure which relevant to client's business is a monopolistic competition and it is a type of market structure where a large number of firms produce close but not perfect substitutes. The producers distinguish their output and themselves through product differentiation or geographical fragmentation, Companies such as battery, soap industry, toothpaste and retail clothing industry which is relevant to client's business. Furthermore, when a firm that has many competitors or promotes, its products as being slightly different and somehow "better" than those of its competitors, it can establish customer loyalty and brand loyalty. The firm is then in a position to exert some influence over the price of the product. ( Vashist R, 2008 ) / (Fraser.I,Gionea.J,Fraser.S,1999)
4 Role of profit
Since 1946, Rocket Electrics established itself as prominent battery manufacturer. Through the role of profit, the company has ability to distribute networks in 100 nations worldwide to maximize the profit. Therefore, the company is committed to excellence and full satisfaction of its customers.

Table 3, Factors of production
4.2 Supply and demand
The model predicts that in a competitive market. Therefore, the price will function to equalize the quantity demanded by consumers and the quantity supplied by producers, resulting in an economic equilibrium of price and quantity.
5. Different forms of ownership
Ownership forms include sole proprietor, partnership and company. First of all, the proprietor this is a person who owns and manages a business on his or her own, either under a business name or their own name. Moreover, the partnership is an agreement between at least two and up to 20 people to contribute time, money and talent to make a profit from a continuing venture. They may trade under a business name or under the names of the partner. Lastly, the company is a form of business organization. In the legal field, the company is specifically a corporation or less commonly, an association, partnership, or union that carries on a commercial or industrial enterprise.
Furthermore, the public ownership refers to government ownership and operation of a productive facility for the purpose of providing some good or service to citizens. The government supplies the capital, controls management, sets prices, and generally absorbs all risks and reaps all profits-similar to a private enterprise. When public ownership displaces private ownership in a particular instance, it is called Nationalization.
Additionally, according to the client's business, making a contract with local authorize agent-ship is the best way to establish a business in Sri Lanka. Companies such as Samsung Singer Ltd and LG Abans Ltd are shown as a good example partnership. Besides, Sri Lanka is a geo-economically important region in Sothern Asia. Therefore, based on this opportunity the market can be expanded efficiently. Furthermore, the major fund is based on the company's sales, services, investment or invested by company Head Quarter from Korea. Besides, the part of total investment should be covered by local partner.

7. Organization chart
Formal organization is the design put in place management to complete the tasks needed to implement the plans that have been put in place to achieve the organization's goals.
Rocket Electric Limited Region Office in Sri Lanka
The characteristics of the formal organization
- enduring, unless deliberately altered
- top-down
- static
- excellent at alignment
- plain to see
- equates "person" with "role"
- hierarchical
- bound together by codified rules and order
- easily understood and explained
- critical for dealing with situations that are known and consistent
7.1 Structural issues
Through the organization chart, it shows that responsibilities of decision-making are made from the higher levels of authority to the lower levels. In addition, the span of management shows the dimension of organizational design measured by the number of subordinates that report directly to a given manager. Besides, it affects organization design in a variety of ways, including skill of the workers, the nature of the job, the motivation of the workforce, the manager's personal skills and ability to lead. ( Vashist R, 2008 )
7.2 Transforming nature of organization
The company started to export zinc carbon batteries in 1962
Developed the Alkaline Manganese Batteries & Mercury Batteries in 1970
Exported Battery Plants to Bangladesh in 1982
Commenced to sell Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries in 1983
Established Rocket Technical Research Institute in 1987
Established overseas factory of Rocket Thai in Bangkok, Thailand
Developed Mercury free Batteries of Zinc Carbon and Alkaline Manganese Batteries in1991
Exported Battery plants to U.K., China and Egypt in 1993
Established overseas factory of Rocket Poland Co., Ltd in Poland in 1997
Established Joint-venture of E Square Technologies Co. Ltd. In 2000
Established Joint-Venture Company of Xiamen Sunlight Battery Co. LTD. In China in 2003
Based on the company's historical data, since the company established it has been gradually transformed to a globalized company in the world.
7.3 Informal organization issues
The informal organization is the interlocking social structure that governs how people work together in practice. For instance, it consists of a dynamic set of personal friendship, school background, shared interests and membership of the same sporting or social club.
( Vashist R, 2008 )
The characteristics of the informal organization:
- evolving constantly
- grass roots
- dynamic and responsive
- excellent at motivation
- requires insider knowledge to be seen
- treats people as individuals
- flat and fluid
- cohered by trust and reciprocity
- difficult to pin down
- essential for situations that change quickly or are not yet fully understood
7.4 Policies and rules
The differences between policy and rule is, the policy defines a plan or course of action, as of a government, political party, or business and it is intended to influence and determine decisions, actions, and other matters. However, the rule defines directive, policy or procedure within an organization and it may also come from outside sources such as government regulations and membership association guidelines. Furthermore, here are the examples of policies which may be relevant to client's business
Company's Environmental Policy
- Minimize the adverse impact of our activities, products and services by implementing an environmental management system.
- Prevent pollution, through waste minimization at the source, recovery / treatment of emissions and releases, conservation of energy, recycling and optimum use of resources. (If the company operate a prospective manufacture business in the future market.)
- Continually improve our environmental performance through setting and reviewing associated objectives and targets and periodic evaluation.
- Comply with applicable legal requirements and other requirements related to our environmental aspects
- Communicate with all interested parties and all people working for or on behalf of our organization.
8. Conclusion
According to client's request, the natures of Sri Lankan businesses and existing economy system are defined based on principle of business elements. And also, the contribution of public sector to the economy of Sri Lanka and the different market structures are analyzed. The market structure, factors of production and nature of supply and demand which is relevant to the client business are studied and directly applied into client's business. In case of ownership, the different forms of them are introduced in different point of business view. The mission, vision and strategy could be suggested and the potential competitors are identified for client. Beside the final business model is designed and presented with organization chart, structural issues, transforming nature of organization, informal organization issues and policies and rules that would be relevant to the client's business.
Consequently, I could not only gain knowledge of economical business concept but I also could directly apply such theories and business principles into practical business through this assignment. Beside, the establishment feedback system is designed for prospective establishment process. During the establishing procedure, there is lots of trial and error. However, those can be overcome by this kind of systematic activity which is shown above figure 6. It means the improved business can be only obtained by ceaseless analyzing efforts

Ian wanted to get a fish head so that he could try a fish head soup recipe that is in the random Chinese cook book floating around my cookbook cupboard. We also got some great dashi and seaweed crack.
After our disappointing yard saling experience we went to lunch at a Korean BBQ place that our friend turned us on to. So much good food. The only problem was that we had to lash Bea to the high chair because it didn't have a tray infront to keep her contained. There is a pit in the center of the table that is full of hot coals and topped with a wire grill for you to cook your meat on. We ordered a set of kimchi, raw meat, veggies, an omelet, and a salad. Our friends, who had been living in Korean prior to Misawa, said that it was very authentic except for the bowl of miso soup served to everyone with their rice. We even got some Korean grocery goodies to try out at home!
Saturday was Japan Day. They have a whole bunch of people from Misawa come on base and teach us about Japanese culture. There were martial arts demonstrations, kimonos to try on, ikebana arrangements, beautiful bonsai trees.
This man was carving Noh masks for a Noh theater and for sale.
I'm not sure how they make these dolls or what they are really for but I thought they were lots of fun.
As far as the rest of the week. Ian got some big news, this coming week he's going to be inspecting the different hazmat programs at squardon. Apparently, he knows the most about the Hazmat programs in Ammo. In other news Ian also perfected his domino and dart techniques.
Bea is learning lots of new things. She can now march around the house if you hold her up by the armpits. It is almost literally marching because she flings her feet out with so much force that she's practically running. She has also learned how to color a little bit with a crayon after practicing hirigana with mommy. There is more pointing than coloring but she's getting the idea. Gok, is the new favorite syllable and sometimes I think it is reference to Ginger but one can never be sure.
I am the same. Mostly just knitting on my baby blanket when I have a few spare seconds. I did manage to get a piece framed and consigned. We'll see how long it sits there. I'm hoping to be framing more often since it is so much fun. Next week there might be classes on the horizon so we'll see about that.

The Mountain of Silence: A Search for Orthodox Spirituality An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to a monastery high in the Trodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality that will appeal to readers of Carlos Castaneda.In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice little known in the West he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into the group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a Christian Tibet, two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain a oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos s monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church.Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich the Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of Castaneda, the book brilliantly evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Church as well. The result is a remarkable work a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world.

The smallest woodpecker in North America, common and widespread, although it avoids the arid southwest. Male and female have separate feeding areas in fall and early winter, with pairs forming by late winter. I've chosen to put the woodpeckers here: Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Red-headed Woodpecker, and Pileated Woodpecker. Above, see a rather ragged looking female Downy Woodpecker feeding her fledgling, distinguished by red on the top of its head. Learn all you wanted to know about Downy woodpeckers with facts, pictures, videos, and news from National Geographic. Male has a small red nuchal patch, lacking in the female.
Both the male and female downy woodpecker have black upperparts, with a broad white stripe down the back, and black wings that are marked with white spots. Males have a red spot at the backs of their heads which females lack. Downy Woodpeckers closely resemble the larger Hairy Woodpeckers, but Downys have relatively smaller bills, which give their heads a rounder, 'cuter' shape. Description: Downy Woodpeckers are our smallest and most commonly seen woodpeckers. Adult males have a red patch on the back of their head, while females have white stripes on either side of their head that often join together resembling a hallow with a black center.
Photos of Downy Woodpecker by Terry Sohl – South Dakota Birds and Birding. Downy Woodpecker 1 (Male and Female). Learn how to identify a male downy woodpecker by size and key field marks. Female downy woodpeckers do not have the red patch. Underparts: The breast, abdomen and flanks of the downy woodpecker are a plain, clear white without any spotting or barring. Downy Woodpeckers are our smallest and most commonly seen woodpecker. Adult males have a red patch on the back of their heads, while females have a white stripe on the sides of their head that sometimes join together to form a ring that resembles a hallow around their black head.
Downy Woodpecker Videos, Photos And Facts
A reader writes: There are a couple of woodpeckers that feed at my bird feeders each day that I thought were male and female downy woodpeckers. That is until I saw a picture of a hairy woodpecker on your website. Downy woodpeckers have whitish tufts at the base of their thick, black bills. Males and females are look the same, except that males have a small red patch at the back of their neck. Downy and Hairy woodpeckers are widely distributed across North America. Both commonly visit feeder areas where they feed on suet and sometimes seeds. The downy woodpecker is six inches long and has a small black bill. Both the male and the female make the nest by pecking a hole in a dead tree, fence post or sometimes, a telephone pole. The Downy Woodpecker is our smallest woopecker, growing up to six inches long. Female downys lay four or five white eggs on the nest and the male does most of the sitting for about 12 days. Downy Woodpecker – Male and Female Downy were both at my feeder today. See more about Downy Woodpecker, Branches and Snow.
Downy Woodpecker Photos
The male Downy has a small red spot on the back of its head (females have no red). The Downy Woodpecker is the smallest North American woodpecker (length about 6 inches) and is a common all year and a breeder on the Alabama coast. The only difference between male and female birds is that the female lacks the red occipital patch. Males and females forage for food separately, with the males preferring the smaller branches and the upper canopy layers.

I'm wondering if I can charge my Droid in Europe using the standard wall adapter/USB cable (using a European adapter of course). I'll be traveling to Italy, France, and the UK. I'm not sure if the voltage differences are an issue. I'm also aware that I can't actually use my Droid in Europe, I'm just taking it for movies on the flight. Thank you for reading.
If you have a power convertor you should be ok, just set the input of it to the local voltage and the output to 110 (US). If you don't have a converter just take you USB cord and charge from a PC or in airports they should have USB outlets.
If you have the standard Droid charger, you should be okay. The one I have has a tiny label on the end that has the USB outlet that gives the specs as "INPUT 100-240V~50/60Hz" which means that you will only need the proper plug adapter to use it in Europe (or virtually every other place on Earth). Another option is that some laptop/netbook chargers have a USB port. You can use the USB cable from your Droid charger to connect to that. Most of them are auto-voltage, so you would just need a plug adapter. If the charger doesn't have a USB port, you could use a port from your laptop/netbook (if you have one) to charge also. USB is USB. It does not change between Europe and the USA.
I bought a 20 eu phone with the same plug-in while in France, the wall adapter came with & I have a cheap European phone /card for emergencies, really worth it, charges both phones. Sent from my Droid using DroidForums App

JACKBEE December 04, 2013 7:35 AM When F1 has previously changed engine size (say when from 1.5Ltr to 3.0Ltr) they allowed a transitional period of a year or so where previous engines could be used. And also the turbos ran alongside normally aspirated engines. Obviously not possible in todays micro-managed sport, but at the time it did help the less well funded teams. Reply Report abuse 6 agree 3 disagree
107SS2009 December 05, 2013 7:44 AM Then and now, re the engine equivalency formula of times past, I don't see a way that it can be used as the present rules stand. At the time of the equivalency formula the calculations were that a 1.6 litre engine turbo boosted at 2 bar (twice atmospheric pressure) it can produce the equivalent power of a 3.2 litre atmospheric engine, but that stands true only with no restrictions on RPM OR FUEL FLOW. As I have tried to explain many a time on here, (A) there is a maximum given number of BHP that can be extracted from a litre of fuel burned, (B) burning fuel at an air to fuel ratio of 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel will produce the strongest combustion, the more air that can be crammed into a cylinder the more fuel that can be burned, (c) I will add to all this that the more combustions per minute (RPM) the more power that can be produced.
