With new system, InterContinental takes the guesswork out of hotel pricing
03.06.10
The evaluation of a hotel room is always a game of cat and mouse — a minute-by-minute game of roulette based on several factors.
How many rooms have been sold?
Is it turned on or low season?
Are there any unusual events in town?
What’s the vacancy rate for the hotel down the screen?
In February, the InterContinental Hotels Group attempted to take the guesswork out of hotel room prices by launching a new system that allows it to predict global demand and conduct price sensitivity modeling.
Called a “assay optimization module,” the system is the secret sauce behind the prices of IHG’s more than 4,400 hotels across the globule, from its namesake chain to Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Candlewood Suites hotels.
Rather than of using demand predictions, the proprietary module’s modeling process allows it to continuously ponder rates,

Well its week 3 of college now, and i'm a mouse in engineering. I sit at the very back by myself, because i take notes for the subject on my laptop and power is nearby.
Whatever. So i minded my own business the whole lecture, and 5 mins before the end i was shutting down and unplugging my laptop, when this guy on the end of my row (the only other actually) scooted over. right. next to me.
'Hey, is your laptop still on? I was wondering if you could tell me what's going on. I wasn't here for the first 2 lectures"
Im like "yeh, i'm in truth a notetaker for this subject so i can email the notes to you if you like?"
he's like yes, so i had to plug everything back in and turn the comp back on. whilst we're sitting there he's chatting about my class and how he failed the first time round and likes engineering.
as he talks, i write the email and attach everything. then im like, yeh well-founded put in your email there.
he does, and presses send. then turns to me, 'oh yeh i'm Elliot by the way" *shakes hands* "Now that you've got my email direct, if you ever need any help or anything you can use it" *grin*
Ok. im guessing he was being polite but he wass kinda cute..gawsh i anticipation he was hitting me. Opinion ppl?
The nervous breakdown of a relationship can be substantially depressing from time to time. I discovered some wonderful support at http://turens.newcourting.info when I was in comparable stand.

Well-deserved keep testing him and talk to him about yourself. If he seems like he doesn't want to listen, then he's not into you.
If he's attentive and supportive of topics as regards you, then he's probably into you. Or if he goes through trouble to speak with you.
Sounds like you've got a good start, so go for it. =)

Where can i find the black market?
Sep 09, 2559 by Larry | Posted in Baseball
Hi, I'm looking for steroids for my intramural softball unite, we were close to winning last year but fell just short and I for one think that steroids would put us over the top. I've looked at the rules and there is nothing against them, and they don't check up on. I've talked to some people and they said i could get them from the black market. So I guess my question is where can i find this illusive black market?
How do I convince my parents to let me learn gymnastics?

I in reality want to learn gymnastics. I am learning the violin and having home tuition on two subjects so I guess they use up a lot of prosperous. But I seriously want to learn gymnastic and cannot wait till I'm older (I'm 15 years old btw). My parents sometimes seem to grant about me learning gymnastics, but most of the time disagrees. I wonder what's up with them? I really want to learn gymnastics, I have never learnt gymnastics before and would liking to try for fun and learn all the cool stunts.
I know they are also worried about me getting injured. So seriously, how do I convince them to let me learn gymnastics?? There a gymnastics wisdom place in Singapore called Singapore's Gymnastics which is at Bishan, and we live in Fernvale. Is that far away? I be acquainted with they want me to concentrate on studies, but I will still study even if I have gymnastics lessons. First, I want to bring them to Bishan to talk to the myself or coach or whatever to tell my parents more about gymnastics so that they would be more obliging to let me learn gymnastics. But is the fees for learning gymnastics very ripe? Ok, these are the questions that I'm asking here:
1) How do I convince my parents to let me learn gymnastics?
2) Are the fees for gymnastics very high?
3) Is Bishan far away from Fernvale?
Gratefulness you very much.

at work i have five co workers and my boss who is i guess about 3o years old, i brought to work 4 hits of lsd and 5 grams of pot, i stupidly set my cagoule down and went to wash my hands because it was my lunch break, when i walked in to the hall i saw my boss standing out there and i saw him tramp out of the restaurant, my weed was there but not the lsd, and the next hour or so he was standing out side his car for like 20 minutes and he then just drove off, and didnt even verify out, do you think he stole it, if so do you think i should say something to him because im pretty sure i am
Can you guess which country has the most tigers (you might find the answer surprising and depressing)?

It's the Like-minded States.

In fact there are far more tigers in TEXAS than any country outside the US (4000).
How do I get her to come to her senses?
Sep 09, 2167 by Stephanie | Posted in Psychology
This has been our dual account for awhile for other parts of yahoo but I have a very knotty and heartbreaking situation that I, her, we are going through.
My girlfriend and I have been together for 10 months. It started off as a simple online relationship, not much else. Two kids with crushes, eyes on the looks. But it grew into something bigger and to my knock someone for six, I fell in love and so did she.
We always talk every night at 9, text all day and sometimes talk online.
However, with how the world is now, there have been some struggles, before today. I've irreclaimable a few jobs, the first of which was very lucrative for a teenager, because of the economy. Last hired, first fired, if you will. Her dad has also lost his job and is supporting an entire kinsmen.
Now her family, is on and off about me. Her siblings love me but her parents are skeptical about online situations working out.
Lots of other things have happened to, as to where I've gotten very depressed. But she was always there to pick me up unhesitatingly when it was going to be all over.
Two nights ago, she told me god told her that she had to break up with me. That god took away her feelings.
Keep in mind, we allocate everything. And I mean everything.
Now she tells me that a guy asked her out yesterday and she has feelings for him. She just met him yesterday also.
One part of me absolutely knows she is the one. I have been through many a relationship but this one, I can have compassion for incline it, it's it. This is it, beyond all conviction.
Another part says to let go, she wasn't worth it.
I guess I just need some help here, kinda killing me here.
