By Jo Tweedy Updated: 04:53 EDT, 9 July 2010 Let's be straight - you'll never feel the jangle of hunger in La Grande Pomme. From the moment you set foot on Manhattan island, the onslaught of food begins. New York's culinary carousel whirls fine dining, the best cheesecake, skyscraper sandwiches and enough iced coffee to fill the Hudson River under your nose. Whether your whim is to chow down on a 'boat-size basket o' fries' (at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co in Times Square), or sink your teeth into a Pastrami on Rye from the deli next door to your hotel, you'll find something - even if it's just a $3 hot dog vendor, offering to fill your belly without wandering too far. This cornucopia of restaurants can leave you dazed, though. So how do you find the Big Apple's best menus without sharing your table with fellow tourists? Or worse, maxing out your credit card? One tack is to leave the neon lights of Times Square fuzzing behind you, and head do

Green Marketing - Keeping Your Messaging Clean and Your Products Eco-Friendly

Everywhere you read, search, listen and watch, green is king. Whether it's saving gas, electricity, paper or the planet - going green can mean greener pastures and thumbs when it comes to our environment and your company's bottom line. Green is in. Green is good. However, with the ever-present emphasis on "greenness" also comes the need for how to communicate the enviro message. Does environmental messaging sometimes sound more like a fad than reality? Does your product line include features and benefits that are just waiting to be communicated? Are you forcing green features into your products that may not exist? Don't be green just to be green. It's more important to be accurate rather than faddish regarding what your product room or service offers the environmentally conscientious customer. Here are some steps to recycle your marketing message so "zero waste" doesn't mean zero understanding. By taking the right steps you can conserve your e

Public Outcry Over the Oculus Rift Price Misses the Point

Image
The price of being an early adopter is often very literal - you have to pay a premium to be one of the first people in the world to use new devices - sometimes entirely new types of devices. So the enormous outcry that followed the announcement of the pre-order price of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset was something that was particularly hard to understand. On Reddit, Oculus founder Palmer Luckey wrote that Oculus is not making money on the Rift, to encourage adoption of "high quality" VR. Unfortunately, while the Oculus team has done a good job of making what appears to be, by most accounts, a groundbreaking product - our own experience with the Oculus Dev Kit 2 was hugely positive - the one area where it hasn't fared so well is in its messaging. When rumours came up that glass the Oculus could cost $1,500 (approximately Rs. 1 lakh), Luckey responded by saying it would be in the "ballpark" of $350 (approximately Rs. 23,000) - so when the final price of

No one wants to be a victim of burglary; however, it's a sad fact that most people will have to deal with property crime at some point in their lives.

INTRODUCTION Sandwich structures are used for safety important objects such as aircrafts, transport means, vessels, and pipes, since they offer great energy absorption potential and increase the flexural inertia without significant weight penalties. By varying the core, the thickness, and the material of the facesheet of the sandwich structures, it is possible to obtain various properties of the structure [1-3]. Sandwich materials have been a topic of many scientific investigations. The behaviour of the sandwich material under crushing loads and the ductile fracture limits are usually determined with the help of compression tests [4]. Cores are barrel the weakest part of sandwich structures and they fail due to shear stress. The shear strength properties of the sandwich core are important in the design of sandwich structures subjected to flexural loading. Three-point bending tests are performed to find the flexural and shear stiffness of sandwich beams [5]. Mechanical behaviou

a day in the life of a theatre

Looking forward to an enchanted evening at the theatre? Easy, right? Just buy a ticket. Then, leave the rest to scores of people behind the scenes and at the front of house whose jobs are to make something so maddeningly complex seem so seamlessly carefree. In addition to the actors (and understudies) and musicians on stage for the Royal Alexandra's latest show, Rock of Ages, toss in the musical director, the production stage room manager, the stage manager and staff, including dressers who perform rapid-fire costume changes during the performance backstage, the sound and lighting crews, the fellow who operates the confetti machine, the head of wardrobe, the wigs mistress and the props master. That's just the backstage contingent. At the front of house, throw in the box office staff, the manager, her assistant, 40 bartenders and ushers, the cleaning staff and the maintenance team. Add in the suppliers of beer, ice, and other supplies, from confetti to toilet paper. Then, all
