London, UK (ContentDesk) June 11, 2004 -- Best Western - the largest group of independently owned hotels in Great Britain and the London Premier Hotels are delighted to announce the first London Hotel to achieve its Premier status. Best Western have now something rather different to offer for their central London customers, it is called (and quite apt too); 'the Shaftesbury'.

This is no ordinary hotel!Not only is the Shaftesbury first in London for Best Western Premier, it is also a new entry to the London boutique hotel stable. The hotel has overcome the usual vast industry rates (rates start at ?99 - without compromising on its luxurious quality) by relying on the maxim that if customers come, they will forever return.
The Shaftesbury benefits from practically selling itself via its distinguished location. It is the only hotel on Shaftesbury Avenue, it is practically next door to Queens Theatre (the new home of 'Les Miserbales'), China-Town is but a stroll away as are Leicester Square, Oxford Circus, Covent Garden, its all within walking distance (what other hotels can boast this convenience!). Just a perfect place to stay in "Soho" Piccadilly.Philippe Starck furniture casually dresses the public areas, the bedrooms are climate-controlled, have King Size beds, Egyptian cotton linen throughout, Televisions in the bathroom, alongside luxury toiletries, complimentary fruit & drink, Interactive Televisions with Free Internet access and various other gestures from the management to ensure maximum satisfaction (one of the best 'gestures' is a whopping 20% discount off the next-door restaurant!). The suites all benefit from mood-lit 4-poster beds, and the restaurant buffets are constantly flowing. Romance package has proven to be very successful where Complimentary Champagne, Fresh Roses, Chocolates and Breakfast in Bed make the stay a pleasant one.That's not all! As an added incentive in the ever-competitive hotel industry, the Shaftesbury delivers to all guests in their rooms; complimentary broadband internet access 24/7.
As one of the first hotels in the UK to do so, the trend of not charging (when competitors are over-charging) for internet is a huge plus-factor in the London sector.Well done Best Western for finally bringing to London West End a luxurious and affordable hotel. Clearly the homework has been done, and the customers listened to, to finally create a West End London hotel that can be accessed by all. The Shaftesbury is clearly the hotel by which all future London hotels will set their standards by.The Shaftesbury hotel is managed by London Premier Hotels, a progressive hotel group in Central London with its associates in North America.For Direct Reservations & further info please visit www.ShaftesburyHotel.co.uk

The Evolution of Audio Video Conferencing
Audio video conferencing is a shorthand way of describing a virtual conference where no one has to leave her office to meet up with the rest of the group. A virtual conference may use telephones, televisions, computers, conferencing software, collaborative software, file sharing, headsets, the Internet, or any combination of these equipments and tools. Slide presentation, streaming audio, and document sharing are some of the extras you can incorporate into this conferencing method. The ultimate goal is to make the meeting as realistic as possible, where everyone can see each other, hear each other, view and modify projects, and so on ? all at a cost that eventually pays for itself in travel savings.

A Guide To Plasma Televisions
One of the newest additions in television technology, Plasma Televisions are the 21st century display devices which are fast becoming a popular choice among television viewers. Plasma televisions have higher resolution and quality performance than other conventional televisions; they guarantee crisp and clear images, and superior quality.
Plasma televisions became a reality after the successful invention of the plasma display panel in 1964, by Donald L. Bitzer and H. Gene Slottow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Embracing a unique technology, Plasma televisions produce pictures from a combination of inert gases such as xenon and neon.
When the gas is charged using electrodes, the atoms collide with each other and release energy in the form of invisible ultra violet (UV) light. The light is then focused on the three phosphors (red, green, and blue) and a brilliant picture is produced.
Plasma televisions come as Enhanced Definition TV...

Upon the death of the Pope, a monumental sequence of events unfolds, culminating in a process known as the conclave whereby a new Pope is elected to lead the Roman Catholic faith.Beneath Michelangelo's revered ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, the College of Cardinals, led by the Cardinal Camerlegno (Cardinal Chamberlain), Eduardo Martinez Somalo, begins the arduous process of selecting the pope's successor. The Cardinalate currently consists of 117 cardinals from all over the world.
In the conclave, an event enduring little change since the thirteenth century, the cardinals take an oath of secrecy, that if broken renders the offender automatically excommunicated from the church. There are no televisions, radios, or newspapers allowed inside the conclave.The Cardinal Electors, almost all of whom were appointed by Pope John Paul II, will vote in a very thorough process of secret balloting where a two-thirds majority is needed to elect a new Pope. The College may vote up to four...
