Flight to India : Flight news and information

Location: Southern France There is something separate and heavenly about Southern France. It could be the beaches, or the fact that its laissez-faire attitude is a different version than that of metropolitan Paris, but the cluster of shoreline communities in Montpelier, Nimes, and Avignon have something different going for them – and entirely new brand of relaxation. Although classical buildings erected by Romans millennia ago, stand proudly in Nimes’ center, you can’t escape the whispering modernism that seeps into the atmosphere.

It’s been two weeks since I last wrote; we spent most of that time trying to get out of our cul de sac in the D.C. suburbs.  I was able to get out of town just ahead of the most recent foot of snow to travel to Houston to attend our CEO Forum and board meeting. The CEO Forum is open to all member airport directors and several dozen of them were there.  It is a real honor to work with a group that is at the same time among the best business leaders I have ever been around and the best public servants as well (in the U.S., airports are owned mostly by local and state governments, that is not true in Canada).  As I stood up there and welcomed the group, I could turn in any direction and see an airport director who has worked his or her fingers to the bone to bring new air service to their community

on our way to manali Zero temperature and fresh snowy terrains seemed like a good place to begin my first ever experience with skiing at winter sports at Manali. I always had a notion that uphill of Himachal bestrode intrepid medieval pilgrims. This trivial thought of mine was changed when I visited the most mysterious and romantic place called Couple on Ridge Manali.

Here is a question from a Breaking Free reader that I though others might find useful (my response below)… Brian, I would like some feedback on a business idea… I’m thinking about a 3D scanning and 3D printing service with a website to solicit business. A 3D scanner is around $3,000, and a 3D printer is about $15,000, so startup costs would be a little “high” I guess.  The scanner can scan an existing object, and convert it to a CAD file.  Then, with that file, someone could “print” a 3D object in ABS plastic, even if the part was complicated.  It is an efficient way to see/test a prototype idea. Not sure how much market there is for something like that.  The client would need to ship an object to me to scan, and then I would probably be required to send the object back with an electronic CAD file.  And if I offered the “printing” service, I would send the ABS model back to them, all for a fee.  This is kind of a new thing developed in the last couple of years, and could save some companies money in their product development.  The startup cost probably keeps the small entrepreneur out of that market.  But, I could spend that much if I thought I could recoup my investment, and eventually make a profit

This entry is part 18 of 18 in the series UniversityTutor.com Things have been growing nicely at my business, UniversityTutor.com , in the last few months. Here are a few graphs that I have auto-generated each week to see what’s going on.  I really like the idea of having a “dashboard” for your business like this to help you see the cycles and spot anomalies early on.  If you can’t measure it then you don’t know how close you are getting to your goal, so I recommend having something like this for your business if you don’t already.  These I custom programmed but you could have your programmer do something similar or make them in Google Analytics or Excel. These show daily totals for a bunch of different metrics that I track, and a cumulative total for number of paying subscribers
