I stayed at the Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre Haymarket on a Sunday night in November 2015. It cost £29 for the night on the non-refundable Premier Saver rate, booked a couple of months in advance.
It's the largest Premier Inn at which I've stayed. It's located a two minute walk from Haymarket Railway Station, where you can take a bus or tram to and from the iairport. There's onsite guest parking, on a first come first service basis, charged at £8 per 24 hour period. This is a reasonable price for the convenience.
I was allocated a room at the back of the hotel, overlooking the car park and the back of traditional apartment blocks. This suited me, as it was nice and quiet.
The room was large, but looking slightly tired compared to some of the newer, or recently refurbished, Premier Inns at which I've stayed.
I liked the fact that the room had two armchairs, as well as a chair at the desk. Premier Inn now offer free WiFi. I didn't try it, as you had to register to use it, and I had enough data available that month to tether through my Three Mobile monthly contract.
The bar and restaurant area on the ground floor was pleasant. I hung around there for a few minutes after the noon departure time, as the nearby restaurant at which I planned to have lunch, Mr Basrai's World Cuisine, didn't open until 12.30
In summary. I thought that the £29 room at Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre Haymarket offered good value for money for comfortable, quiet, centrally located accommodation.

One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to visit spas. No matter where I go, I always notice missed revenue opportunities. Often, I am not offered any additional treatments, upgrades and retail spa products. Nothing is more disappointing to me.
I am sure you experience the same thing. The spa and medical spa industry falls short on increasing revenue through the guest experience. In this article, you will gain 5 strategies you can implement to help you increase your revenue through the guest experience.1. Reservation Process
How good are your receptionists with converting callers into appointments and maximizing the number of treatments? Problem: In most cases, receptionists (or as I like to call them "the Guest Relations Team") take the path of least resistant. They normally reserve the least expensive treatments. This practice limits revenue generation and makes the rest of the team work hard to try to upgrade treatments.Solution: Reserve time for treatments and let your therapists choose the ideal treatments for clients. This will allow your spa team or RN and PA etc. to customize spa treatments and increase guest satisfaction. 2. Guest Check-inHow good is your check-in process? Problem: When visiting spas on location and assessing their check-in process, I notice many missed opportunities. Normally the receptionist asks, "Do you have an appointment?" Asking for their name only, they check them in with no attempt to promote other treatments or upgrading treatments.
Solution: Make a great first impression by standing up and welcoming the guest. Get their name. Say, "We are expecting you" and confirm the treatment they are having. Then based on availability, make recommendations. It can be a promotion you are having or something that will complement the treatment they are having. Or if they are a repeat client, your receptionist can say, "I was looking in your history and I noticed that you have not had xyz in a while. Let's go ahead and get you set up for both today!" This type of recommendation will help your guest have multiple treatments, achieve better results and enjoy their visit more.
3. Relaxation LoungeWhat are you serving in your lounge? Problem: Usually, I see coffee, tea, and or water. Rarely, healthy snacks are served. Most often, the things being served are items not being sold in your spa boutique.
Solution: Forget the coffee. Focus on tea and offer water with a healthy concentrate that you can retail. Once they try and love them, they will buy them. Place shelf talkers to describe what they are having and mention that they are available for purchase in your boutique. (Try Pur Inventions). Having a tea bar promotes health and helps you generate more revenue. 4. The TreatmentThis is the biggest missed opportunity. I have had treatments around the world. Rarely do I get upgraded. I am frequently invited to be a secret shopper. Oh my goodness, the stories I can tell you! Problem: In my most recent experience just last week, I went to a Medi Spa to have a facial. The esthetician asked what my concerns are, then she asked what my budget was. I almost died! Are you kidding me, "What is my budget?" What does that have to do with anything? That team did not have a system. Worse yet, they had not been trained on how to handle a consultation to increase guest satisfaction and generate more revenue. Solution: Implement the P.R.I.D.E. system. Train and practice your team on how to do a consultation and how to recommend to your clients. Once the team is trained, set rewards and consequences. 5. The Check-OutThis is another case of missed opportunities. Retail should be a big part of your spa's income. Recently, I was talking with a new client. Her spa did over one million in revenue and her retail accounted for only $100K. That is a 10% ratio. That's horrible… They could have made another half million in retail! Problem: No system for checkout. No sales order turned in. Not only are they not maximizing revenue, frequently they do not report the upgrade they do! So they are also losing money!Solution: Implement a sales system for checkout to maximize revenue generation. Join us for the new CoachMe Genius Revenue Strategies and discover how to Turn Your Spa into a Selling Machine!

April 6, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
23rd September 2011
The reporter said that markets were down and the news had driven US investors into the "safe haven" of bonds, causing bond yields to drop to the lowest levels since the 1940s.
That was bad enough, but she went on to advise people to keep an eye on the markets day to day. You might not think it affects you, she said, but people have pensions and savings, and gave figures about the amount in ISAs, apparently intended to make people stay glued to market information.
There's so much concentrated bad advice there that it's hard to fit comment into a post, but here goes:
Sign up for our free email newsletter here, for your chance to win an iPad 2.
Shaun – most insightful. I read today that Mr. Papademos is suggesting that a third bail-out may well be on the cards as "nobody can foresee the markets in 2015". For the average Greek citizen this means, in my opinion, that they can look forward to a further decimation of their standard of living; meanwhile the EZ continues to promote medicine known not to cure. On a lighter note I have just read the following on the "Open Europe" news:
"EU officials working in EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy's office have created an unofficial press release suggesting that the Vatican should be invited to the next Eurozone summit because "The presence of His Holiness the Pope affords an opportunity to pray for divine intervention to save the euro. This is now seen as the most credible strategy."
I say no more……
Hi Ray
Is the last bit an early entry for an April the first edition or reality? Sometimes these days it is really hard to tell….
Also if Mr.Papademos can forsee that markets before 2015 perhaps he might let the rest of us in on it!
Iceland took about 3 years after default before it was able to return to the markets. Greece should copy Iceland's default and then it might be able to return to the finance markets before Dec 2015 ….
Hi Shaun a good analysis of the failings of current economic theories, as being implemented in the Eurozone. Theories are one thing, the reality is how it affects the lives of ordinary citizens. It seems a gratuitously cruel experiment with youths and pensioners playing the roles of the lead laboratory rats. I just wonder how long it is until the rats wake up and make good their escape?
Talking of inflation, I guess you've seen the excellent article on the subject this week from your blogosphere nextdoor neighbour Simon Ward?
"In a Guardian interview a year ago the MPC's leading dove, Adam Posen, predicted that inflation would tumble to 1.5% by the middle of 2012 and stated that: "If I have made the wrong call, not only will I switch my vote, I would not pursue a second term." Will Dr. Posen honour his pledge or try to shift the goalposts by appealing to economic weakness or claiming his forecast was blown off course by yet more "one-off" shocks?"
I like Simon's use of the term "economic weakness" meaning more inflation, I guess he sees things the same way as you! H But, has Posen got any "wriggle room" do you think, or will he be bidding us, the MPC and his index linked pension au revoir?
Another nice quote from Simon;
'The sustained UK inflation overshoot was predicted by a monetarist
forecasting approach, as detailed in previous posts here. The Bank of
England either has the wrong model or is deliberately contravening its
I think we know which it is.
Netherlands starting to edge towards the ER. Still Germany has lower unemployment, must be worth it all then……
Actually in terms or Simon's quote about the Bank of England the recent model chage I talked about in my review of the speech by David Miles means that I think both were at play.
Hi Andy
I doubt will be surprised to read that I had remembered that quote from Adam Posen. In terms of wriggle room he may be able to push the dates to September as that is when he usually gives his key note speech for the year.
In terms of using alternative inflation indices he would be on very weak ground as he has used and then dropped virtually all of them. So the only option remaining here would be to construct his own!
How many "one-offs" can there be?
Am sure you have already thought of some economic themes for your 1st April Blog but have you considered presenting a chronology of the funding expectations of the EFSF since inception allied to what has been raised and distributed todate. Understand that the latest capital amount is E800bn LOLOLOL
Hi Major
The problem with an April the first update on the Euro Major is how will people tell that it is humour…..?
Hi Shaun
In a somewhat round-about way Ford's decision today to invest 1.3BN in a Mexican plant to produce new models for N. America sums up the situation. Globalisation determines the investment of multi-nationals, the only entities with 'real' money. Jobs will go in the US, cheaper labour will produce the goods sold the US customers through cheap loans made cheap by QE. And so it goes around.
The very same people who 'benefit' from the cheap loans, pay for them eventually though taxation, they lose jobs, their kids lose jobs. The Mexicans also suffer because their economy continues to only produce low cost labour jobs.
Who 'wins'? a very few people who benefit from Ford's 'success'.
Welcome to the continuing development of a stark bi-polar world.
Hi JW
The debate over the power of multinationals has gone quiet in the past couple of years but their relative power has risen as governments have weakened. For a start if we look at the UK and US it is larger companies who have cash with Apple being the most famous example. Although we have ZIRP we may well see a "cash is king" phase.
Japan has been another case of exporting an exporting industry and I await to see how that plays out. It was bad luck for them when Thailand had the floods adding to the 2011 theme of natural disasters affecting Japanese industry. But whilst it retraced a little last week the Yen appears to be in a weakening phase so it may be watch this space.
If we stick to the Euro theme the country most vulnerable to multinational power is Ireland.

In this episode, Conor Lee, founder and CEO of HipLead, talks about the emerging Outbound Sales As A Service (OBSaaS) model for prospecting and generating leads. Combining expertise in big data and targeted email marketing, enterprises of all sizes are using Outbound Sales As A Service to scale their sales by taking over the top of the sales funnel. Among the many topics I discuss with Conor Lee are:
- How OBSaaS is different than outsourced lead generation
- The situations where it makes sense to use Outbound Sales As A Service
- The sales processes you need in place to leverage the prospects generated by an OBSaas company like HipLead
- What HipLead can do that your SDRs can't.
- How OBSaaS supports the specialization of SDRs and (delays their early burnout)
If you have responsibility for building a pipeline of qualified prospects, then you definitely need to listen to this episode.

A whole new World of Beer opened up to Lexington patrons when the most recent location of the beer-focused franchise opened July 3 at The Summit at Fritz Farm.
World of Beer bills itself as a "craft tavern" and, as its name suggests, places as much emphasis on its massive beer list as it does its menu of upscale pub fare. Suggested beer pairings accompany each dish description, and many of the menu items also incorporate beer into their preparation.
Each World of Beer location features a selection of more than 500 packaged beers—which patrons can browse using a tablet and sort by style, color, ABV or place of origin—along with at least 50 beers on draft. Cask and nitro selections are also available, and most locations, including Lexington, also feature an "infusion tower" that lets staff customize base beers with an infusion of fruits, spices and other ingredients.
Along with a variety of imported and domestic craft beers, the Lexington location's initial draft lineup leaned heavily toward local and regional breweries, including offerings from Blue Stallion, Ethereal, Country Boy Brewing, West Sixth, Rooster Brewing, Great Flood, Alltech's Lexington Brewing Co., Goodwood and Bowling Green's White Squirrel Brewery.
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the first World of Beer location opened in that city in 2007. Mirroring the rise of craft-beer market share in the United States, the company has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with more than 100 locations currently in operation throughout the country. A Louisville location opened 2016.
Lexington will also get Kentucky's first Grimaldi's Pizzeria location when the restaurant opens at The Summit on August 11.
Grimaldi's is known for its coal-burning pizza ovens which, according the company, are heated by 100 pounds of coal a day and capable of temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which creates a thin, smoky-flavored crust.

The best way to clear your conscience before the weekend is to admit what you did via our anonymous Sick Chirpse confessions box (also located under this post) – every Friday we'll be posting the best ones.
Here are the best from this week:
Every Friday for two years I would go to Nandos for lunch. I had a Nandos card and a Nandos stamper I bought on eBay from a cheeky ex-employee (this is before they went electronic). So I would just hand in a fully completed card each time, eat my free meal, and then do the same next week. Pretty sweet deal. Well inevitably one day the manager came out of nowhere while I was ordering my food and he says he wondered why there was the same free meal being rung up every Friday at the same time. He didn't believe my story that I eat Nandos every day of the week and only go to his branch for the free meal on Fridays. The guy lost the plot on me, grabbed my Nandos card and ripped it up, told me I was a thief and owed him thousands of pounds for free Nandos I'd eaten over the years. It wasn't easy taking him seriously because his flies were undone but the fact is he had me rumbled. He called the police and they visited me at my house but in the end I was just banned from Nando's as they couldn't prove I hadn't earned the stamps every week. Shortly after that they did away with the stamps altogether – sometimes I think it was all because of me.
I was wearing my Ainsley Harriott tshirt at Junction 2 and every 5 minute some cunt would be like eyyy Ainsley eyyy. Fuck Ainsley Harriott.
went to a friends house party, ended up fucking a girl in the friends parents bed, didn't have a condom so pulled out and nutted on the sheets. friend wasn't able to change said sheets because otherwise parents would know he had had a party , long story short, his parents slept on sheets covered in my dried up spunk.
Whenever I go to a wedding, my go-to line for any single girl there is "hasn't anyone ever told you you're not supposed to show up the bride on her wedding day". Works every time
I sometimes dig holes for a living, and the only thing that gets me through it is the hope of discovering some ancient artefact that's worth millions. Well, that and the joint I smoke before work every day
That Prick
Last summer me and a girl who I occasionally have sex with (Let's call her 'A') found ourselves at the end of a heavy night out with nowhere to "sleep" – So being the intoxicated genius that I so often am I came up with the genius plan of taking her to the nearby home of another girl who I occasionally have sex with ( We'll call her 'B') – After banging on the door for about half an hour we came to the conclusion that she wasn't home, but undeterred by this minor setback we decided to head round to the back of the property and smash a window to get inside – Well, it turns out 'B' was home and was unsurprisingly quite pissed off to find me and 'A' breaking into her house at four in the morning – Eventually she did calm down though, and she ended up letting us get into bed with her – Now being the horny drunken idiot that I was/am this meant guaranteed threesome to me and I started touching them both up under the covers – It took about 30 seconds for 'B' to say "fuck this" and she quickly stormed out of the bed and went next door to sleep on the sofa leaving me and 'A' in her bed to fuck – So essentially yes, I broke into a girls house and fucked another girl in her bed while she slept on the sofa next door and cried – Fun fact: Neither have them have slept with me again since that night.
This doesn't happen when I'm with a girl but when I'm alone and I start to think 'hmm do I fancy a quick tug' I start gettin horny and ALWAYS sneeze twice. Pretty fucking annoying but I know if I don't sneeze, I'm probs good to wait a while…
Took an important business phone call at home, desperately needed a wee about 10minutes in, and not the type of call you can just ask to ring back in 5. Relieved myself in the sink while on the phone to my potential new boss so they wouldn't hear the echo of my piss hitting the toilet water. I'm a chick.
I can never plug in a USB stick on the first try
In the week since I broke up with my GF, I've been thrown out and banned from a club, pissed myself on the way home and had a wank while taking a shit in the toilets at Burger King. Safe to say I'm not taking it very well
I drive uber in my spare time and have different radio stations set for each "type" of customer I pick up. I'm on a 5 star rating
My boyfriend cums in complete silence and then says 'thanks babe' before jumping onto his Xbox, leaving me to wank myself off in bed because he always finishes first and can't go again until he's 'had a meal'. This isn't healthy is it?
I took a girl back to my room at uni a few months ago and despite her saying she'd only smoked weed once before I rolled a fat zoot of super skunk and we smoked it together. Well she went quiet and before I knew it she had turned green and tells me she feels like she's going to have a heart attack. I tried to reassure her she was only pulling a whitey but her heart was pounding and she was asking me to call an ambulance. In the end I calmed her down by spoonfeeding her sugar and giving her water while she sat on the toilet. Then we fell asleep without having sex and I woke up in time to see her leaving my room in the morning. Note to self – have sex first next time.
I don't like people
We have a large IT department where I work ran by Indians (fresh from India). The other day I went into the break room and they were all in there trying on each other's shoes and giggling like children. Wish I was that easily amused
I went on a getaway weekend to this spa with the girlfriend, about 2 hours from where I live. At the swimming pool on the first night, I walk in and see my former male co-worker kissing another dude in the corner of the pool. Normally I wouldn't give a shit, but this guy was always showing off about how much pussy he got and how he's in his 40s and in better shape than the rest of us. He also made several homophobic remarks while I worked there and made fun of a gay guy (behind his back) who worked with us. Anyway after kissing his boyfriend he saw me watching and looked mortified. He came over and said he had had an acting audition coming up and he was just practicing with his co-star. He ended up offering to pay for our spa stay but I said it was fine, we already paid. Monday comes and I told absolutely everyone in the office about it. Fuck that guy.
A few years back I was on a major dry spell and had brought back a girl from work to mine after we got hammered drunk. I go to eat her out and feel my tongue brush against a tampon which she forgot was in there. I pulled it out and fucked her anyway, not ashamed.
Well done guys and gals – you've done us proud. Well, maybe not proud. But thanks for submitting and if your confession didn't feature, don't sweat it – just submit a better one next time.
Get involved and submit your confession(s) for next week HERE – see you next Friday.

Help Your Child Build Confidence and Self-Esteem
Apart from taking good care of your child, helping them build their self-esteem is crucial for them growing up healthy, and having a quality life. Today, parents tend to be over-protective, which prevents children from experiencing things independently, making mistakes and learning from them, which is crucial for gaining confidence. Here are some valuable pieces of advice on how to balance your parental care and encourage your child's independence, in order to help them build their self-esteem.
Bond with your child
Respect your child's opinion and needs, no matter how difficult it can sometimes be. If your child doesn't want to do something, listen to their reasons carefully. Your child needs to feel that their opinion matters. Explain the importance of fulfilling their tasks thoroughly and according to the schedule. If your child still disobeys, you need to let them know the consequences of inaction. Also, you need to be honest about your feelings. If you feel sad, angry or frustrated about something, explain to your child why you feel like that. This will encourage your child to open up about their emotions as well. Not only that your bond will be stronger, but this will also teach your child to handle their emotions without restraint, which is vital for their mental health.
Be a good example
Be positive about life. It doesn't mean that you need to fake a good mood all the time, but to try to stay positive even in challenging life situations. Children observe our behaviour more than we are aware of. So, apart from talking to your child, try to behave the way you want your child to behave. As children are very perceptive, don't hide anything from them and don't try to trick them into doing something. If you make a mistake, admit it, say what you have learned from it and move on. This will show your child that it is okay to make mistakes while facing problems. This way, you will help them realise that life is not about not making mistakes, but successfully coping with the consequences.
Let them learn from their mistakes
Sometimes, you need to let your child decide independently and respect their decision. No matter how difficult it sometimes is to observe your child making mistakes and facing the consequences, it is crucial for building their confidence. Meet your child's mistakes with love, understanding and patience, but don't exaggerate when it comes to comforting them. Help them draw valuable lessons from the experience and encourage them to move on. It is very important to give honest praise to your child in the process of learning, as it is always better to praise their qualities than to put focus on their flaws. This way, you are helping your child create a positive picture of themselves, which builds up their self-respect.
Let them play
It is very important to create a safe atmosphere for your child to interact with other children. Try to arrange playdates, and organise birthday parties and celebrations with interesting themes and creative toys. If other children have fun playing with your child, it will build up their self-esteem and put them on top of the popular kids list, which is very important for children's confidence. Also, taking your child to a creative, educational and fun playgroup can be quite valuable for developing their social skills, as well as their language, cognitive and motor skills development. The playgroup program offers your child a safe environment for socialising and learning with children of the same age.
Help them pursue their interests
It is very important to pay attention to your child's abilities and interests. You are the only person who can help them discover their talents early in life, which can make their lives much easier later. So, if your child is very active and athletic, sign them up for a sports activity of their interest. If you notice that they like music, take them to dance lessons, or help them choose an instrument to play. The easiest way for children to build confidence is by doing things they are good at and being praised and rewarded for that.
Helping your child build their confidence today means securing a better life for them tomorrow. No matter how challenging it can be, by encouraging your child's independence, you are raising a healthy individual, and this world needs more of them.

FAQs: Air Conditioning Repair and Service, Furnace Repair, HVAC Service in Downey, CA
1. How often should I change my ac or furnace air filter?
A. It depends on several conditions in your home, but in general every 90 days.
2. What temperature should I set my thermostat for?
A. Setting your thermostat between 74 and 78 degrees should keep you comfortable.
3. Should I close the air vents in rooms we don't use in the home?
A. Absolutely not! If your air duct system was properly designed, all air registers need to be open for the system to work properly.
4. Do we need a new air conditioner or should I fix the one we have?
A. If your system is over twelve years old(the average life expectancy of an air conditioner), it would be wise to consider replacement.
5. What rebates do I qualify for if I replace my a/c system?
A. There are still several rebate programs offered by local utilities, equipment manufacturers, and city, state, or federal governments. Call us for more details!
6. Will a ceiling fan help to keep my room cooler?
A. No. Ceiling fans actually add heat to the room from the motor operation. They help to evaporate perspiration from the skin which lowers the body's surface temperature, but the heat remains in the room.
7. My air conditioner runs all day, but never cools the house down. Does that mean I need a bigger unit?
A. Usually not. There could be a number of other issues with your existing system. Studies have proved that most air conditioners in residential applications are actually oversized.
8. How much does a typical new a/c system cost to install?
A. The price can range from $5,000.00 to $23,000.00, but in order to design your particular comfort system, some technical data must be gathered at your home.
9. How much do you charge to come out and check my furnace or air conditioner?
A. For between $59.00 and $89.00 we will send a qualified technician to your home or office. Once there, the technician will diagnose the system failure and determine the best and most economical solution to correct the problem. The dispatch fee varies due to coupons and various specials we offer throughout the year. The repair price quoted to you includes the dispatch fee which is applied to the overall repair price if you authorize us to make the repair once we determine the failure.
10. Do you give free estimates?
A. Yes. We give free estimates for system replacements, renovations, or new installs.

Executive director Moore has decided not to renew his contract after four years with the event.
Richard Moore, executive director of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), has announced he will not be renewing his contract after this year's event, which runs July 22 and August 8.
Moorehas overseen programming and operational matters for the festival since arriving as general manager four years ago. It not clear what he plans to do next or if he has a role to go to.
The festival now plans to appoint a chief executive and festival director and will begin the search in April.
Claire Dobbin, the chair of MIFF, told ScreenDaily: "The festival is very successful and has outgrown its existing structure. There is a huge amount of company business and the director needs to be free to run the program, which is more than just films but all the other events too."
In a statement, Moore said: "The last four years have been an incredibly rewarding time at MIFF culminating in last year's very exciting festival. He is currently overseas and not available to discuss any future plans.
Last year, Moore was caught up in the storm that surrounded the festival's decision to programme Jeff Daniels' documentary 10 Conditions Of Love and invite its subject, the controversial Uyghur leader Rebiya Kadeer to the festival.
Accountancy firm KPMG is advising on the festivals new organisational structure.
Dobbin hopes the two new festival leaders will be appointed before this year's MIFF so they can "observe from the sidelines". They will be expected to take the reins soon after for the 60th anniversary festival in 2011.
MIFF is the oldest and largest film festival in Australia: admissions reached 182,000 last year. Its sidebars include a Premiere Fund for investing in feature-length productions and the 37ºSouth Market, one of two co-financing events in Australia.
Previous MIFF directors include James Hewison, now theatrical distribution manager at Madman Entertainment, Sandra Sdraulig, chief executive of government agency Film Victoria and Tait Brady who is developing documentaries under The Acme Film Company banner and consulting.

4. Femto-second time-resolved transient fluorescence spectrometer: from 1 noncoherent fluorescence photon to 106 laser photons.
We have developed a highly-sensitive, high-temporal resolution transient fluorescent spectrometer based on a single-photon noncollinear optical parametric amplification technique, which clones a single non-coherent fluorescent photon to 1.2×106 photons, furthermore it converts a near IR photon which is difficult to be detected due to lack of the sensitive detector in this spectral region to the visible region. We realized an accessible detection limit of 15 photons within a 150 fs gating pulse, considering the limitation of the polarization, this limit can be set as 8 photons.
