Room KeySM announces access to Loyalty Member Rates from more than 60 of the world’s largest and most well-known hotel brands, including Hilton®, Hyatt®, Marriott®, Holiday Inn®, Comfort Inn® and Wyndham®. Hotels’ member rates are typically lower than other published rates and available only to members of the hotels’ loyalty programs who book directly with the hotel, primarily through their own websites. Now Room Key can access these rates and is the only travel site where customers can shop and compare Loyalty Member Rates from so many different hotel chains in one place.
“There’s a lot of confusion out there about how and where to find the best hotel rates,” says Steve Sickel, CEO, Room Key. “A relatively unknown ‘travel secret’ is that many hotels offer lower rates to members of their loyalty program on their own websites,” Steve adds. “Room Key can now display these lower ‘Loyalty Member Rates’ for thousands of U.S. hotels across more than 60 hotel chains all on one site, making shopping the best rate a lot easier,” he says. “No other travel site can access as many loyalty rates across as many hotel chains as Room Key.”

The best of our city in summer is back with a vengeance as Sydney Festival returns in its 39th year. 2015 will see a spectacular program of free and ticketed events spanning contemporary and classical music, theatre, dance, visual arts, circus, cabaret and much more.
In an unforgettable music experience, Tex Perkins delves into the dark repertoire of Johnny Cash to recreate his seminal 1968 Folsom Prison shows in the haunting surrounds of Parramatta Gaol in Far From Folsom.

Staged in the gaol’s former exercise yard, the outdoor performance is dramatically framed by the former prison’s towering razor-wired limestone walls.
A work of significance, scope and ambition, this performance is a unique and unforgettable music experience at Sydney Festival 2015.

As brain health becomes an ever greater concern for people of all ages, the nation’s largest senior living provider is now guiding its residents on developing and putting into practice personalized brain health plans. Brookdale devised the new resident program with the help of a neuropsychologist specializing in brain health. The company is putting it into place at its independent and assisted living communities across the country.
Through the new initiative, Brookdale’s residents will be offered a four-session course that explains key factors in brain health through classroom learning and hands-on activities. Each participant will be guided on creating an individual brain health plan to use on a daily basis. The course was developed with the assistance of Dr. Paul Nussbaum, who is Board Certified in clinical and geropsychology with a specialty in neuropsychology. An adjunct professor of neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh, he is the author of “Save Your Brain.”

Music Under New York is a program that brings street performers musicians playing in New York City into the subway, and it often inspires spontaneous participation by subway riders. Pause beneath the streets of New York for subway musicians New York and New Yorkers dancing.
2009'da TÜBİTAK Bilim ve Teknik Dergisi'ndeki Darwin skandalından (http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/111...) sonra başlayan evrim tartışmaları ekranlara da yansımıştı. Celal Şengör ise jeoloji profesörü olmasına rağmen ilahiyat öğrencilerinin bilim ve evrim karşıtı (daha doğrusu ezberleyip geldikleri) sorularına ustalıkla cevap vermişti.
Programın başlarında Şengör'ün insanın evrimini anlatma çabalarına rağmen, soru-cevap bölümüne gelindiğinde eğitim sisteminin kurbanı bir neslin Dunning-Kruger sendromundan nasıl nasiplendiğine tanık olduk. Bu kısımdaki genç de konuyla ilgili en ufak bir bilgisi olmamasına rağmen bir bilim insanına kafa tutmak için ezber bellediği soruları kendinden çok emin bir şekilde soruyor ve sorularına tek tek cevap geldikçe daha da hırslanıyor. Konuyu öğrenmek ve anlamak için sormadığı çok açık değil mi? O salonda kulaklarını gerçeklere kapatmış kitlenin toplumun çoğunluğunu oluşturması da bir o kadar acı değil mi? Anlamaya ihtiyaç duymuyoruz, çünkü bize ezberletilenlerin güvenilir alanında olmak rahatlık veriyor. Gerçekleri anlamak içinse ayrı bir efor sarfetmek ve o konforlu alanı aşmak gerekmekte.
