Ashley_C_15 asked:


My husband and I are planning a cruise with another couple. To avoid ending up on opposite ends of the ship, we were simply going to book together with one credit card. Can anyone help me figure out how? I see where you can select the number of guests but it only gives me the option of 1 stateroom (not ideal at all!) Thanks for your advice!!!

I am looking for a specific book of illustrations?

Erin J asked:


I can’t recall the name, but the illustrations are quite surreal. One page is of a man holding up a chair, ready to hit a lump in his carpet. Another is of a house blasting off like a space shuttle. Another is of a woman getting ready to carve a glowing pumpkin. Apparently, this book is just a collection of illustrations with no real text other than the captions for the pictures because the author never returned to the publishing house to deliver the manuscript and they were just published as a picutre book. I would like to use this book for an assignment for my students, but can’t remember the name of it. If anybody knows which book I am referring to please answer this question.

What was the book where the clue was hidden in the back of a famous statue in Europe?

Mercury asked:


Someone wrote in Reader’s Digest that they read this intriguing book (maybe about spies) where the big clue was a note hidden in the neck of a famous statue. This person actually visited the statue and reached behind it and found a note which read “good book, wasn’t it”. I always wanted to know the name of that book and the name of the statue too.

Maxim Smirnov asked:


Is your eBook library or print book library getting a little out of control? If you have been looking for eBook library software or book collection software that will solve your problems, All My Books may be the answer that you have been looking for. All My Books is a book collection program designed to handle both print books and eBooks in the most efficient way possible. Why buy an ineffective eBook library program or other book program if it isn’t doing the job, when instead you can use All My Books, capable of easily and effectively organizing both your regular books and eBooks into an efficient catalog that you can refer to for all the details on the books that you own?

The All My Books software only requires that you find each book in a search, using title, author or ISBN in order to perform the search. Once you have found the copy of the book you own and want to add to your catalog, the All My Books software will do the rest of the work. All of the data about your books is stored on an individual book card, including a combination of standard fields and user defined fields. Some of the standard fields that you will find on each book card include author, title, ISBN, genre, publishing house, binding, number of pages, number of copies, location, rating and numerous others. Most of this information is automatically downloaded from the internet book databases, saving you a great deal of time in the process. Why waste time manually entering your book collection when the entire thing can be done automatically by All My Books?

If you already have a book list in Excel, it can be imported from Excel into All My Books, allowing you to easily integrate your old, already existing book collection documents into the new, more efficient software. When your book collection is completely integrated into the All My Books software, you can quickly and easily search for the titles that you own using a book search that draw both from the standard fields and the fields that you designed yourself. And as an added bonus, you can also take advantage of statistics for your entire book collection, which will tell you how many books you have from a specific author, how many books fit into a certain genre, or how many books of a certain binding style you own for example.

All My Books offers an endless variety of additional functions, with the ability to add plug-ins and further customize your book collection to suit your needs. No matter what your individual needs are when it comes to putting your book collection into a more readily usable form, All My Books is designed to provide the functionality that you need. If you have a large amount of books and eBooks, why input them into Excel manually when you can let All My Books do the work, creating a fully customizable eBook and print book database for your perusal instead?

Bharat Book Bureau Promotes New Report on Iptv Applications – Enhanced Television Applications as a Battleground for Customer Loyalty

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Bharat Book Bureau asked:


Bharat book bureau promotes new report on ‘ The reference to the Battleground refers to one segment of the larger clash between the cable, telecommunications and satellite service provider industries’  which are actively building out and providing similar consumer service offerings which provide voice, video and data. Service providers, primarily those with legacy telephony distribution networks, are utilizing IPTV technology for all or part of their video delivery system. The promise of this technology should include acceleration of their ability to deliver enhanced television services and change the way television is used by consumers. The Battleground for customer loyalty will increasingly be influenced not only by the technology deployed, but also by changes in regulatory policy, the competitive trends in the supply of content, and demographic changes in population.

IPTV Applications – Enhanced Television Applications as a Battleground for Customer Loyalty represents a detailed strategic guide and insider view of the current market changes in the clash between the New Media Titans. It addresses the role of the traditional media provider (cable, telecom, satellite) role in delivering enhance IP based services via television. This publication is a look into the industry direction over the next 24 months and identifies opportunities for industry opportunities for products, services, investment, and M&A.

Key Highlights

IPTV and Enhanced Television Applications

Enhanced television application concepts are not new

Limited availability of IPTV platforms hurts ability to monetize innovation

IPTV Ecosystem Capabilities

IPTV Ecosystem components potentially improve efficiency and lower cost of enhanced application deployment.

Concerns regarding content security are abating but preventing reincarnation of the original “Napster” remains a priority

Competitive platforms (MHP, Tru2Way) address far greater base of users. Internet delivery to enabled televisions could bypass IPTV providers.

Service Provider Priorities Affect Deployment Timing

Competition for bundled services leads to focus on core services

Enhanced applications interesting but assessing consumer value difficult

Enhanced apps must ‘first, do no harm’ to core service offering performance and reliability and should reinforce value of triple play services

Enhanced Applications Potential Varies by Category

Commercial issues between content and service providers complicate enhancing premiere national content.

Personalized information applications provide low hanging fruit

Web based content can expand localized offerings if secure

Blended applications provide options that meet competition

Network based applications provide potential to build loyalty without complications of content negotiations

Opportunity Expands with Subscriber Base

Growth of IPTV subscriber base will expand opportunity
