(PRWEB) June 06, 2013

The Henry Ford confirmed today the acquisition of an original kiosk designed by Charles and Ray Eames for use in the IBM Pavilion at the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

The kiosk, one of two known to survive, was designed to resemble a colorful tent-like structure, complete with pennants. Constructed of iron, walnut and plastic laminate, it originally housed interactive exhibit elements that were part of a huge program created by the Eames office to explain the impact and uses of IBM’s computing technology. The kiosk was saved by the contractor who had been awarded the task of demolishing the pavilion at the fair’s end. Another example is known to have survived—used by the Eames Office to explore installation options but never used at the fair itself. It was acquired by Vitra in 2006.

“When acquiring artifacts for The Henry Ford collection, we look at how the item will expand our ability to tell important stories from American culture including that of design,” said Patricia Mooradian, president of The Henry Ford. Marc Greuther, chief curator, adds, “It is a powerful and appealing artifact—and a reminder that Charles and Ray Eames could apply lightness of touch and whimsy to serious yet fun exhibit design.”

In addition to being a highly significant Eames artifact, the kiosk relates to the broader topic of world’s fairs – a subject the organization continues to explore specifically in the current Henry Ford Museum visiting exhibition Designing Tomorrow: America’s World’s Fairs of the 1930s. Its direct connection to IBM also enriches the museum’s communication and information technology collections.

The Henry Ford is currently working with Los Angeles Modern Art & Design Auction regarding bringing the kiosk to its new home inside Henry Ford Museum. Details on when the item will be put on permanent display will be released at a later time.

Future Technology and Computing Examined by New Company, Contechnology AG

Future Technology and Computing Examined by New Company, Contechnology AG











Microsoft Google Fight

Zurich, Switzerland (PRWEB) July 23, 2009

Contechnology AG, a company focused on the development of products and applications in the arenas of computing and other future technology, announces its recent launch. The company is currently polling visitors to its site regarding the state of the computing industry in the United States and the major companies within the industry.

“The U.S. content industry is losing billions of dollars while the major players in the country’s computing industry are involved in a type of civil war. That should make U.S. taxpayers scared,” says Michael Jones of Contechnology AG. “We believe the war between Microsoft and Google is going to destroy the industry, and that a third party will be the victor. The question is — is the U.S. computing industry clever enough to catch the last seconds before this new power emerges? At Contechnology.com, visitors can use the power of opinion to stop this war before it’s too late.”

Contechnology AG believes the war between two equally strong giants cannot be won by conventional means; only a secret weapon can define the winner. However, if the giants fighting the war do not see what is really going on, than the secret weapon can be taken over by a third party.

In 2005, patents to protect the total elimination of today’s computing were filed. Now, Contechnology AG is moving to land the jackpot that is this brand new technology. Contechnology AG is pushing through, step by step, the new art of communication, dataflow and computing, technology that is — by itself — beating the MIT dream of cheap computers. The new technology eliminates enduser licenses while giving content and software owners a secured revenue stream.

For more information about Contechnology AG, to learn more about the company’s position and development of future technology and computing applications, or to make your voice and opinion on the computer wars heard, visit http://www.contechnology.com.

New Edition of Managing Front Office Operations Features Online Component











The ninth edition of the best-selling textbook, Managing Front Office Operations, is available from the Educational Institute.

Lansing, Michigan (PRWEB) February 01, 2013

The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI), a leader in hospitality training and educational resources, has published the ninth edition of its best-selling textbook, Managing Front Office Operations. Written by Michael L. Kasavana, Ph.D., NAMA Endowed Professor of Hospitality Business at Michigan State University, this textbook provides an in-depth look at management of the front office and how this department interacts with other hotel departments to create a memorable guest service experience.

The ninth edition features a new section on payment card industry (PCI) compliance. It also features hundreds of small but important changes throughout the book to reflect today’s new computer, Internet, self-service, and telephone technologies.     

Because the front office is such an important part of any hospitality operation, Managing Front Office Operations is a required course in several of EI’s curricula, including the Rooms Division Area of Specialization, International Hotel Management Area of Specialization, Hospitality Fundamentals Program, Hospitality Operations Certificate, and Hospitality Management Diploma.

As with the previous eighth edition, this textbook is available with an online component, the Front Office Manager program. This program puts learners in control as they explore the many tasks and responsibilities of working a hotel’s front office. The 10-hour, interactive, online program outlines the interactions between the front office and other hotel departments that are required to create a positive guest experience.

To order Managing Front Office Operations, call +1.800.349.0299 or +1.407.999.8100 or visit [http://www.ahlei.org. U.S. academic customers should contact Pearson Higher Education, EI’s academic distribution partner.
