Etymology

Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal, Budapest, Hungary

The word hotel is derived from the French hôtel (coming from hôte meaning host), which referred to a French version of a townhouse or any other building seeing frequent visitors, rather than a place offering accommodation. In contemporary French usage, hôtel now has the same meaning as the English term, and hôtel particulier is used for the old meaning. The French spelling, with the circumflex, was also used in English, but is now rare. The circumflex replaces the 's' found in the earlier hostel spelling, which over time took on a new, but closely related meaning.

Hotel

A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging, usually on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, and Internet connectivity; snack foods and drinks may be supplied in a mini-bar, and facilities for making hot drinks. Larger hotels may provide a number of additional guest facilities such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare, and have conference and social function services.

Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours; to avoid this requirement it is not uncommon to come across private hotels which are not subject to this requirement.[citation needed] In Japan, capsule hotels provide a minimized amount of room space and shared facilities.

In Australia and Canada, hotel may also refer to a pub or bar. In India, the word may also refer to a restaurant since the best restaurants were always situated next to a good hotel.[citation needed]


Reliability theory

Reliability may be defined in several ways:

  • The idea that something is fit for purpose with respect to time;
  • The capacity of a device or system to perform as designed;
  • The resistance to failure of a device or system;
  • The ability of a device or system to perform a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time;
  • The probability that a functional unit will perform its required function for a specified interval under stated conditions.
  • The ability of something to "fail well" (fail without catastrophic consequences)

Reliability engineers rely heavily on statistics, probability theory, and reliability theory. Many engineering techniques are used in reliability engineering, such as reliability prediction, Weibull analysis, thermal management, reliability testing and accelerated life testing. Because of the large number of reliability techniques, their expense, and the varying degrees of reliability required for different situations, most projects develop a reliability program plan to specify the reliability tasks that will be performed for that specific system.

The function of reliability engineering is to develop the reliability requirements for the product, establish an adequate reliability program, and perform appropriate analyses and tasks to ensure the product will meet its requirements. These tasks are managed by a reliability engineer, who usually holds an accredited engineering degree and has additional reliability-specific education and training. Reliability engineering is closely associated with maintainability engineering and logistics engineering. Many problems from other fields, such as security engineering, can also be approached using reliability engineering techniques. This article provides an overview of some of the most common reliability engineering tasks. Please see the references for a more comprehensive treatment.

Many types of engineering employ reliability engineers and use the tools and methodology of reliability engineering. For example:

  • System engineers design complex systems having a specified reliability
  • Mechanical engineers may have to design a machine or system with a specified reliability
  • Automotive engineers have reliability requirements for the automobiles (and components) which they design
  • Electronics engineers must design and test their products for reliability requirements.
  • In software engineering and systems engineering the reliability engineering is the subdiscipline of ensuring that a system (or a device in general) will perform its intended function(s) when operated in a specified manner for a specified length of time. Reliability engineering is performed throughout the entire life cycle of a system, including development, test, production and operation.

Reliability theory

Main articles: reliability theory, failure rate.

Reliability theory is the foundation of reliability engineering. For engineering purposes, reliability is defined as:

the probability that a device will perform its intended function during a specified period of time under stated conditions.

Mathematically, this may be expressed as,

R(t)=\int_{0}^{t} f(x)\, dx \ \!,
where f(x) \! is the failure probability density function and t is the length of the period (which is assumed to start from time zero).

Reliability engineering is concerned with four key elements of this definition:

  • First, reliability is a probability. This means that failure is regarded as a random phenomenon: it is a recurring event, and we do not express any information on individual failures, the causes of failures, or relationships between failures, except that the likelihood for failures to occur varies over time according to the given probability function. Reliability engineering is concerned with meeting the specified probability of success, at a specified statistical confidence level.
  • Second, reliability is predicated on "intended function:" Generally, this is taken to mean operation without failure. However, even if no individual part of the system fails, but the system as a whole does not do what was intended, then it is still charged against the system reliability. The system requirements specification is the criterion against which reliability is measured.
  • Third, reliability applies to a specified period of time. In practical terms, this means that a system has a specified chance that it will operate without failure before time t \!. Reliability engineering ensures that components and materials will meet the requirements during the specified time. Units other than time may sometimes be used. The automotive industry might specify reliability in terms of miles, the military might specify reliability of a gun for a certain number of rounds fired. A piece of mechanical equipment may have a reliability rating value in terms of cycles of use.
  • Fourth, reliability is restricted to operation under stated conditions. This constraint is necessary because it is impossible to design a system for unlimited conditions. A Mars Rover will have different specified conditions than the family car. The operating environment must be addressed during design and testing.

Toilet Cleaning Tools

Toilet Install

Automatic or Drop-In Toilet Cleaners: Automatic or Drop-In Toilet cleaners usually consist of a disc of cleaner that you deposit into the toilet tank. Some other models suspend from the toilet tank or rim of the toilet. They automatically dispense cleaning solution into the water when the toilet is flushed.

Pros

An automatic cleaner is easy to use and easy to maintain.

Cons

The toilet will still need to be scrubbed occasionally. These cleaners aren't a good idea if you have pets or children who are likely to have access.

Powder Toilet Cleaners: Powder Toilet cleaners are designed to scrub a toilet without scratching it. These cleaners are a good choice when staining of the toilet bowl is an issue.

Pros

If you have rust or water deposit stains in your toilet bowl, using a powder cleanser offers enough scrubbing power without scratching your toilet.

Cons

Be careful not to scratch the surfaces of the toilet, which will allow future staining to occur more easily. Abrasive cleaners also require the use of an additional brush.

Toilet Brushes: Toilet brushes are bristle brushes that usually come with a storage container. Many companies market the toilet brushes to match bathroom decor.

Pros

A good toilet brush with stiff all-plastic brush and bristles does a great job at scrubbing a toilet. Don't choose a brush with bristles attached to wire. This can damage toilets.

Cons

A toilet brush needs to be thoroughly disinfected and/or kept away from areas where it could cross contaminate with bacteria. Cheap brushes can also damage the toilet.

Eye and Hand Protection:

Pros

Even the most experienced toilet cleaner can occasionally splash water and or cleaner during a good scrubbing. Protect your eyes with goggles and your hands with gloves. This is one of the filthiest places in your home. You do not want the contents or the cleaner anywhere near your eyes and hands.

Disposable Toilet Cleaning Systems: Almost every cleaning product company has some form of a disposable toilet cleaning system on the market. This systems allow you to have disposable prefilled cleaning heads, or automatic cleanser triggers that keep you from relying on a reusable brush and separate cleanser.

Pros

These systems save time because there is little cleanup. The cleaning systems work fairly well, although toilets with staining may still need a brush.

Cons

Disposable cleaners and cloths aren't friends to the environment.

Paper Towels vs. Rags: Sometimes it seems as though the outside has become dirtier than the bowl. Using paper towels, rags, or sponges along with a spray cleaner will get the outside as gleaming as the bowl.

Pros

Paper towels are able to be thrown away. There is no risk of contaminating other surfaces or laundry.

Cons

Paper towels aren't the most environmentally friendly choice for cleaning. Use rags if you prefer, but wash right away in hot water. Otherwise, go with paper towels, and never use sponges.

An auto mechanic

An auto mechanic (or car mechanic in British English and motor mechanic in Australian English) is a mechanic who specializes in automobile maintenance, repair, and sometimes modification. A mechanic may be knowledgeable in working on all parts of a variety of car makes or may specialize either in a specific area or in a specific make of car. In repairing cars, their main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. They often have to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial disassembly for inspection. The mechanic uses both electronic means of gathering data as well as their senses. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part or the replacement of one or more parts as assemblies.

Basic vehicle maintenance is a fundamental part of a mechanic's work in some countries, while in others they are only consulted when a vehicle is already showing signs of malfunction. Preventative maintenance is also a fundamental part of a mechanic's job, but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly maintained by a mechanic. One misunderstood aspect of preventative maintenance is scheduled replacement of various parts, which occurs before failure to avoid far more expensive damage. Because this means that parts are replaced before any problem is observed, many vehicle owners will not understand why the expense is necessary.

With the rapid advancement in technology, the mechanic's job has evolved from purely mechanical, to include electronic technology. Because vehicles today possess complex computer and electronic systems, mechanics need to have a broader base of knowledge than in the past. Lately, the term "auto mechanic" is being used less and less frequently and is being replaced by the euphemistic title “automotive service technician”. Fading quickly is the day of the 'shade tree mechanic', who needed little knowledge of today's computerized systems.

Due to the increasingly labyrinthine nature of the technology that is now incorporated into automobiles, most automobile dealerships now provide sophisticated diagnostic computers to each technician, without which they would be unable to diagnose or repair a vehicle.

The lateness excuse generator

I don't resort to dishonesty and would prefer to be given the same consideration in return. Given the fact that most excuses are fabrications, and are generally "lame", I can certainly understand how an excuse generator might find it's niche. I think It is rather pathetic that some people who need excuses lack the creativity to devise their own however. I can only hope that the generator is capable of transcending the uninspired efforts offered by most people, or at the very least that it offers entertaining excuses which might serve to lessen the annoyance experienced by employers who are subjected to such tactics.

It is certainly possible to have a valid excuse, though I would be more inclined to refer to it as a "reason" since it would be an honest assessment of a situation that might prohibit a person from meeting their other occupational obligations, and might contain at least a hint of legitimacy. Considering that such a mechanism would be utilized by people attempting to forego the admittance of the real reason why they are either late or absent, I believe it to be an ill conceived concept overall. I also find it questionable that any person, or group of people would hope to profit from the perpetuation of dishonesty, as though there isn't enough of that happening without adding to the problem.

The process definitely undermines an employees integrity, even if the employer is unaware. Lies have consequences, that is the way it works, and the truth has a tendency to surface at the most inopportune of times. Not to mention the inconvenience that might be imposed on an employee who has a legitimate reason for being absent, but is incapable of taking the time off that they need because another employee with a fabricated excuse has already created a situation where the workload exceeds the number of people who are responsible for completing the tasks at hand.

I believe that time off should be available if it's needed, though if a person accepts the responsiblity of a position in any industry, they should be willing to fulfill that obligation even on the days they would just assume stay in bed for the duration. More often than not there is likely something more appealing to do though, even if it's simply a matter of doing nothing. It's a safe assumption that anyone who is willing to go to such lengths to get out of work is already known for their lack of committment and dedication. That being the case, they may as well just acknowledge that they

are too lazy to go to work. I can almost guarantee that most of their bosses wouldn't be the least bit surprised by the admission, but would likely appreciate the honesty.

I don't imagine there would be an excuse generator if there wasn't a market for it, and it's likely that the market existed long before the inception of this particular technology. As an employer I have heard an wide array of excuses, and have heard some that were so ridiculous that I couldn't help but want to terminate the employment of the people who assumed I was dumb enough to believe the absurd claims they thought were suitable as justification for their tardiness or absence. It's difficult enough to run a business without having to be innundated with illegitimate claims in regard to an employees health, or the wellbeing of their family, which more often than not are at the heart of the excuses given. Mechanical failure, sick kids, lack of a baby sitter, personal illness, or personal tragedy, whatever it might be, if you say it's true and it isn't, what right could you possibly have to expect anyone to believe you in the event that it ever was true? It's best to let the truth be known, as I like to say, it is better to accept the consequences of the truth than it is to reap the benefits of deceit.

MRO software

MRO software

In many organizations because of the number of devices or products that need to be maintained or the complexity of systems, there is a need to manage the information with software packages. This is particularly the case in aerospace (e.g. airline fleets), military installations, large plants (e.g. manufacturing, power generation, petrochemical) and ships.

These software tools help engineers and technicians in increasing the availability of systems and reducing costs and repair times as well as reducing material supply time and increasing material availability by improving supply chain communication.

As MRO involves working with an organization’s products, resources, suppliers and customers, MRO packages have to interface with many enterprise business software systems (PLM,EAM, ERP, SCM, CRM).

One of the functions of such software is the configuration of bills of materials or BOMs, taking the component parts list from engineering (eBOM) and manufacturing (mBOM) and updating it from “as delivered” through “as maintained” to “as used”.

Another function is project planning logistics, for example identifying the critical path on the list of tasks to be carried out (inspection, diagnosis, locate/order parts and service) to calculate turnaround times (TAT).

Other tasks that software can perform:

  • Planning operations,
  • Managing execution of events,
  • Management of assets (parts, tools and equipment inventories),
  • Knowledge-base data on:
    • Maintenance service history,
    • Serial numbered parts,
    • Reliability data: MTBF (mean time between failures), MTTB (mean time to breakdown), MTBR (mean time between removals),
    • Maintenance and repair documentation and best practices,
    • Warranty/guarantee documents.

Many of these tasks are addressed in Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). Data standards have been developed around these activities, most notably EAMXML and MIMOSA

Engineering

Maintenance, repair and operations or maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) is fixing any sort of mechanical or electrical device should it become out of order or broken (repair) as well as performing the routine actions which keep the device in working order (maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising (preventive maintenance).

All actions which have the objective of retaining or restoring an item in or to a state in which it can perform its required function. The actions include the combination of all technical and corresponding administrative, managerial, and supervision actions.

Engineering

In telecommunication, and engineering in general, the term maintenance has the following meanings:

1. Any activity – such as tests, measurements, replacements, adjustments and repairs — intended to retain or restore a functional unit in or to a specified state in which the unit can perform its required functions.[2]

2. For material — all action taken to retain material in a serviceable condition or to restore it to serviceability. It includes inspection, testing, servicing, classification as to serviceability, repair, rebuilding, and reclamation.[3]

3. For material — all supply and repair action taken to keep a force in condition to carry out its mission.[4]

4. For material — the routine recurring work required to keep a facility (plant, building, structure, ground facility, utility system, or other real property) in such condition that it may be continuously used, at its original or designed capacity and efficiency for its intended purpose.[5]

Manufacturers and Industrial Supply Companies often refer to MRO as opposed to Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM). OEM includes any activity related to the direct manufacture of goods, where MRO refers to any maintenance and repair activity to keep a manufacturing plant running.

Industrial supply companies can generally be sorted into two types:

  • the ones who cater to the MRO market generally carry a broad range of items such as fasteners, conveyors, cleaning goods, plumbing, and tools to keep a plant running.
  • OEM supply companies generally provide a smaller range of goods in much larger quantities with much lower prices, selling materials that will be regularly consumed in the manufacturing process to create the finished item.


House Keeping Tips

Rub a dub dub: Cleaning the tub.

Scrub porcelain enamel bath tubs and sinks with the home brewed all purpose cleaner, or a solution of hot water and a few drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. Both mixtures will easily clean the fixtures. without scratching the shiny finish. Always rinse the tub after taking a bath. If you can somehow coax, bribe or threaten your family to do likewise, the chore of cleaning the bathtub will be much easier, and you won't have to do it as often.

If you have a new bathtub, it may be plastic or acrylic. You need to be extra careful when cleaning these types of tubs. Always use a mild cleaner, such as the all purpose bath cleaner or a dishwashing liquid (but not dishwasher soap) does a good job of making bubbles and cleaning the tub at the same time. Just don't tell the kids that they are helping to clean the tub; let them think you are doing them a big favor by letting them take a bubble bath.

To keep your soap bars from melting into a soggy mess that you'll have to clean up, place a sponge under the bar of soap. Then use the sponge to wash yourself or clean the inside of the tub. This will help keep the area neat, and you will actually use most of the melted soap instead of washing the soapy mess down the drain.

You can get rid of a stubborn bathtub ring with a paste of cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide. Take 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar and add hydrogen peroxide drop by drop until you have a paste. Apply the paste to the ring and let it dry. When you come back to wipe off the paste, the ugly bathtub ring will disappear, too.

Shower Power

To clean the shower walls and floor, use a bucket of all purpose bath cleaner or the heavy duty cleaner. I like to take a cleaning brush and dip it into the cleaning solution. Then brush down the wet shower walls and floor with the cleaner. Leave it on the walls and floor for a few minutes before rinsing off with clean water.

The metal frames of shower doors can get water spots on them that seem impossible to remove. Lemon oil removes those tough water spots. Apply a little oil to a rag, and rub over the metal. Use a dry cloth to buff the metal to a shine. The oil will help repel water and will make it tougher for new water spots to form. Glass shower doors will sparkle and stay clean if you wipe them down once a week with a sponge dipped into full strength white vinegar. You can also clean out shower door tracks with a toothbrush or cotton swab dipped into a solution of bleach and water.

Cleaning sinks

Wipe sinks frequently with the all purpose cleaner or any type of non-abrasive cleaner, then rinse and pat dry with a towel. The frequent wiping will keep sinks clean without having to resort to harsh cleaning products. Never use abrasive cleaners on sinks because they can scratch and damage the surface. For a shiny porcelain-white sink, cover the sink with paper towels saturated in white vinegar. Let stand for 30 minutes; then rinse thoroughly with cool water. The white vinegar will also remove many stubborn stains without scrubbing.

Most used seat in the house

I doubt cleaning the toilet would be at the top of anyone's favorite things to do list but it really doesn't have to be a nasty job. Here are some easy ways to keep the toilets sparkling clean.

Home brewed toilet cleaner

1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup liquid detergent
1/4 cup warm water

Mix together the baking soda, liquid detergent, and water in a bowl. Use a toilet brush to apply the cleaner inside the bowl. You can let the solution soak inside the bowl for as long as you like, or you can immediately swish it around with the toilet brush before flushing. If the bowl is especially soiled or has a ring, let the cleaner soak overnight. In the morning, use a toilet brush to help remove the dirt or ring.

For automatic bowl cleaner just drop one denture cleanser tablet in the bowl, and let it bubble away the stains. If you have a buildup, you will need to swish a toilet brush around to loosen the grime--but if you do this regularly, you won't even have to scrub. It is much cheaper than buying those blue toilet bowl cleaners that go into the tank.

Mirror mirror on the wall

Spray on home brewed window and mirror cleaner. Then use a dry towel or paper towels to clean and wipe dry. Of course, you can buy window cleaner at the store, but it is so easy and economical to make the home brewed kind.

Home brewed window and mirror cleaner

2 cups water
1/2 cup rubbing alcohol
1 tablespoon ammonia
blue food coloring (optional)

Mix the water, alcohol, ammonia, and food coloring (if desired) together. Pour the mixture into an empty spray bottle. This cleaner works great on windows and glass top tables too.

Homemade all purpose bath cleaner

1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup clear ammonia
1/4 cup baking soda
1 gallon warm water

Mix together in a bucket and then pour some of it into a spray bottle.

Homemade heavy duty cleaner

1 cup baking soda
1 gallon very warm water
1 cup vinegar
1 cup clear household ammonia
1 tablespoon liquid detergent

Dissolve the baking soda into the very warm water in a bucket; add the vinegar, clear ammonia, and liquid detergent. Shake or stir to mix the ingredients. Wear rubber gloves and clean in a well ventilated area. Rinse with clean water.

House work

House work is a specific work required to be done as a duty or for a specific fee, related to or used in the running of a household. Nowadays, men do not do much of the house work, leading to a point of dispute between partners today.

Depending on the nature of the house, chores can be divided into two categories, indoor and outdoor. Indoor chores in Western culture might include cooking, setting the table and washing dishes; cleaning, sweeping, vacuuming, dusting and mopping; laundry and ironing; lifting and carrying things, putting things away; child and elder care; paying bills. Outdoor work can include decorative and vegetable garden care, lawn and grounds maintenance, animal care, snow removal, driveway maintenance, outbuilding maintenance. In Japan, care of futons is often a regular task.

In traditional economic analysis, such house work performed by members of the household are not included in economic output. However, housework is a vital part of the economy and society. An early text discussing housework is Proverbs 31, describing an ideal wife who "looks after her family's needs." (verse 27 GNB).

Important Table Manner??

The term table manner the label alias ate, uptil now was identical to the official banquet agenda was in a West style. True like that?? In fact was not like this... The understanding of the label in the dining table facilitated us in the association. In the banquet agenda, the conduct ate or table manner was the main important matter was paid attention to. The conduct ate showed who ourselves in fact.

Good Housekeeping

Good Housekeeping” magazine shares smart and simple tips to make your home sparkle, including how to unclog drains, remove wine stains, touch up tarnished silver, clean ovens and more:

To get rid of kitchen smells
To absorb the pungent odor of foods like fish or cabbage, place a small bowl filled with approximately 1 cup of white vinegar on the kitchen counter or table while cooking. To remove the musty smell from your freezer, fill a clean sock with dry coffee grounds and place it inside. You should change the coffee grounds once a month.

Keep drains unclogged
Every three months (once a season), pour a mix of ¼ cup ammonia and 1 quart boiling water — per drain — into your bathroom and kitchen drains to dissolve grease and loosen clumps before they become a problem. This mixture doesn’t work on drains that are already clogged — it’s only intended to prevent clogged drains.

secrets house keeping


1. Three words: do not disturb
Remember what I said about communication? The best way to keep a housekeeper from barging in on your room is to hang the “do not disturb” sign on your door. I know guests who never remove the notice. How do they get their room serviced? They flag down housekeepers who are making their rounds and tell them they’re ready — or they just turn the sign around (you know, the one that reads, “Please service my room.”)

It’s important to be as clear about your wishes as possible. Which is to say, either flip the sign or tell a housekeeper you need your room cleaned. Lee Camp recently stayed at a motel in Crestview, Fla., and he removed the “do not disturb” sign before leaving for the day, hoping his room would be serviced. It wasn’t. “There were no clean towels, the garbage had not been emptied, the ashtray wasn’t cleaned, the bed wasn’t made and there was no coffee for the next morning,” remembers Lee. “Basically, nothing had been done to the room.”

2. Mention your housekeeping preferences in your guest profile
Hotels keep sophisticated guest profiles that track their likes and dislikes. If you’re a frequent visitor or if you belong to the hotel chain’s frequent-stayer program, chances are the property already knows that you don’t like being disturbed early in the morning — or at all. I wrote about hotel guest preference programs almost a decade ago and since then, the systems have only become more sophisticated. They’re now able to communicate your likes and dislikes to other properties within the hotel chain, and there’s very little the databases don’t know about you, particularly if you’re a frequent guest. It can’t hurt to let a hotel representative know your preferences and to specifically ask about a notation being made in your profile regarding your housekeeping needs. Who knows, it might prevent a housekeeping headache.

3. Don’t give them a reason to visit your room
Not every hotel employee that intrudes into the privacy of your quarters is there to clean. There are maintenance people, technicians, managers and ... the dreaded minibar police. Ron Dylewski, a videotape editor in Pittsburgh, had an encounter with the snack cops at a luxury hotel recently. “They wouldn’t be denied,” he recalls. “I was badgered, and they knocked on my door several times — the implication that I’m going to walk out without paying my minibar tab.”

The solution, of course, is to not accept the minibar key when you check in. Think about it. The items are marked up by hundreds of percent, so why would you even want access to them? In my experience, hotels take a hard line on minibar charges, and they go to great lengths to make sure their guests are billed.

4. Do it yourself — and save the environment
Those signs that encourage you to consider re-using the towel in your room may save the hotel money, as my colleague Amy Bradley-Hole pointed out recently. But on some level, they make a lot of sense. They force you to ask a number of other important questions. For example, is it necessary to change your sheets regularly, or to even have the bed made? What harm could come of asking a housekeeper for a few extra towels and giving her a few days off? Unless I’m on an extended stay, I prefer to reuse my towels, make my own bed and keep the housekeepers out of my room. I don’t think it’s responsible to throw towels away after just one use, but beyond that, I like the privacy. I don’t want hotel employees moving my stuff around.

5. Reward good behavior ...
There’s no rule that you have to wait until the end of your stay before tipping your housekeeper. If your maid is behaving, why not reward her — or him — by leaving a little something in the envelope before leaving? Or, if you’re afraid they might not understand that you’re tipping them early, just hand them the envelope or at the very least, tell them how much you appreciate the fact that they are respecting the “do not disturb” sign.

6. ... and punish bad behavior
As a hotel guest, you have numerous options when it comes to retribution. Withholding a tip, reporting the employee to a manager and complaining to headquarters are just a few of the choices you have as a disgruntled visitor. The sooner you speak up, the better.

I regret not having done that once. I was a guest at a small inn on one of Washington state’s breathtakingly beautiful San Juan Islands. It had been a lovely stay, but on my last morning in town, I returned from breakfast to find my luggage standing outside the door. Funny thing was, I hadn’t finished packing yet. I opened the door to find a maid reclining on the sofa, puffing on a cigarette.

“Ya missed your checkout time,” she snarled, taking another drag and turning her head away.

“My things,” I protested. “I wasn’t finished packing.”

“Took care of that for you,” she exhaled.

Sure enough, she had crammed the rest of my belongings into my bag and then wheeled it into the hallway so she could take her cigarette break in my room. I would have said something, but I had a plane to catch.

Needless to say, I did not leave a tip.

HOUSEKEEPING by Marilynne Robinson

HOUSEKEEPING by Marilynne Robinson is what I'd call a modern classic. Beautifully written, it's the story of two sisters who are raised in a non-conventional family in Fingerbone Lake, Idaho. Ruth is the narrator of this depressing morose novel, the older sister who often seemed to take on the role of the younger sibling. The girls do not know who their father is. Their mother is in their lives for a very short time, a free-spirited woman who suffers from bouts of depression. They are successively raised by their maternal grandmother, Sylvia Foster, Sylvia's two elderly sisters-in-law, and finally their Aunt Sylvie, their mother's sister.

The novel opens with a brief history of their family, telling the tale of their grandfather who died tragically in a train crash at Fingerbone Lake. This lake becomes a character unto itself, helping to set the tone of the book. It seems to be the center of their world, having taken their grandfather, and later, their mother. One of the main themes of this novel is death and impermanence, the two girls never really having true stability in their lives. They do see some stability with their grandmother Sylvia, but this is undone when Sylvie takes over, a woman who seems to want to live the life of a transient.

HOUSEKEEPING is a very difficult book to read, but at the same time, I was drawn to it for the beautiful writing and the complexity of the characters. Ruth, the narrator, seems to become more and more like Sylvie, her Aunt, while her sister struggles to find some normalcy in their lives. The underlying question could be "what is considered normal", and who is to judge one family to the next? I personally had a hard time with the character of Sylvie, who was obviously mentally not all there, yet was put in charge of these two adolescents who obviously needed a more structured type of lifestyle.

HOUSEKEPEEING was Marilynne Robinson's debut novel, written 20 years ago. Most may find this novel a laborious read, but I believe if one can be open-minded enough, the reader will truly see the beauty of this book.

HOUSEKEEPING in hotel

HOUSEKEEPING is a book that is a joy to read, simply by virtue of the carefully constructed yet flowing language employed by the author. It's a challenge for the reader to pace themselves so as not to pass by any of the innumerable shining passages that lie within. The novel speaks to the heart and soul about the transitory state that our lives exemplify, of our expectations and their consequences on our experiences of life.

There is a history of tragedy -- both real and as perceived by those on the outside -- in the family depicted. The story is told by Ruthie -- she and her sister Lucille (who is younger, but more socially aware and mature) have been orphaned. Their mother has delivered them to the home of their grandmother in the small, remote town of Fingerbone (great name!), then disappeared -- they learn later that she has driven in a friend's car off a cliff into the nearby lake, where their grandfather perished many years before when the train on which he was riding left the bridge and plunged into the icy waters.

Ruthie and Lucille are raised for a time by their grandmother. She is a reserved, slightly distant woman -- but she loves them in her own way, caring for them and seeing to their needs. At the beginning of chapter 2, on p. 29, the girls awaken to find her dead: '...after five years, my grandmother one winter morning eschewed awakening.' Enter their two great aunts, Lily and Nora, who move to Fingerbone from San Francisco (giving up their cherished lifestyle and home, as they remind the girls quite often) in order to care for Ruthie and Lucille. These two are some of the most gently comic characters I have run across in years -- perhaps because they remind me a bit of my own great aunts, with whom I spent a lot of time when I was a child. The conversations between them are priceless -- I actually had tears running down my cheeks from laughing. Lily and Nora don't last long -- they don't die, but they're simply not up to the task of caring for two young girls. The reality of it overwhelms them completely -- they begin to imagine every conceivable scenario of disaster and flee back to the city, having lured the girls' aunt Sylvie to take over for them.

Sylvie is a piece of work -- and her character and influence on the girls is the mighty engine that drives the rest of the story. She has long been separated from the rest of her family, traveling all over the country as a transient, 'riding the rails' from one place to another. She is a brilliantly-drawn character, gentle and thoughtful (if a bit odd -- although I hope for my own sake that trait never becomes a crime...). Neither of the girls not the good people of Fingerbone know quite what to make of her. She definitely has her own ideas about things -- she goes into deep, long silences, almost as if, for her, time doesn't exist. Sylvie begins to fill the house with odd collections of things -- empty tin cans with their labels removed, newspapers and magazines. Leaves begin to pile up in the corners of the room -- a visible reminder of her own ideas about 'the essence of housekeeping'.

Besides being an immensely entertaining story and a literary jewel, the book is a treasure trove of wisdom. It addresses the concept of human need and offers one of the most shining promises of fulfillment and hope that I have seen.

I knew when I picked up this book that it had been made into a film -- I put off watching it until I had read the novel, wanting to experience the richness of the written word first. The film is good, if low-key -- if you haven't seen it, definitely read the book first. This is one of the finest reading experiences I've had in recent years -- I can wholeheartedly recommend it, but PLEASE take your time and savor every word...!

A Tool for the Hospitality Industry

Price-Sensitivity Measurement

A Tool for the Hospitality Industry

Robert C. Lewis

Stowe Shoemaker

William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

One way to determine an optimum price for a product or service is to assess what the customer is willing to pay and then set production methods and costs to achieve a profit based on that price. Traditional pricing methods, including "cost-plus" and "gut feel," operate backwards by setting a price based on the operator's costs or profit goals. Measuring the customer's price sensitivity in a reasonably unbiased way is difficult, however. Moreover, the matter of appropriate pricing is complicated by the fact that consumers use price as an indicator of quality. So, it is not only possible to set a price too high (pricing the item out of the market), but also to set it too low (giving a perception of unacceptably low quality). The statistical technique of price-sensitivity measurement (PSM) works by asking consumers questions that allow them to indicate when a product is "too expensive" or "too cheap." Graphing these numbers shows a range between expensive and cheap-indicating the likely best price range. Proprietors of Taco Bell applied the PSM method in creating their value menu, with considerable success. As an example, the authors developed a price-value range for buyers in the association-meeting market.
