please. I have a few final notices to give you before we all go into this last session of our conference.

First of all, I'd like to say that this afternoon's computer session has proved to be much more popular than we anticipated, so we're moving this session to Room 110. That's on the first floor. This means that the Marketing Seminar will be moved to Room 201. Room 201 is on the second floor. The times for all sessions are unchanged. I hope that's clear to everyone. Yes？

Next, a notice for Team Leaders. will you please hand in your keys and your completed attendance lists to reception Point B, where I will collect them. Could you do this at the latest by 15.00. By 3 o'clock, please. There is no paperwork for team leaders to do this afternoon, you'll be pleased to know.

Now, I have to inform. you of a last minute change for those flying home. No. Don't worry. Nothing major. You'll still be able to enjoy the party this evening. It's just that the coaches to the airport will now leave tomorrow morning a little later, at 9am sharp, instead of 8.30. And please be at the collection point - that's outside - at least 10 minutes before, so I can check your names. The collection point is marked "Airport". Thank you. The other buses - that's the six coaches for local travel - will leave as arranged ... look at your Fact Sheets... same times ... same place ... for local destinations, go to the West Gate.

Now, to the future. I have a note from Personnel that the venue for next year is already fixed. It will be in Birmingham, and is most likely to be at the Central Business School. Of course you'll get details of things like the timetable nearer the time. One of the guest speakers will be Dr Lewis Worth. Yes, the famous author from the Los Angeles Institute of Business will be talking about Creative Management: I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to that. Again - details will come to you nearer the time.

Oh, talking of speakers, that reminds me, this afternoon there will be a change of speaker. Alan Smith will substitute for Sue Kennedy, who unfortunately is unwell. Same times, but the room will also change, from 600 to 610.

Well, I'd just like to say... Oh yes ... one more thing. Don't forget to collect your complimentary video from the conference office. You can drop in there any time throughout the afternoon. It's a preview of our new advertisements. I would draw your attention especially to Film 3. Quite a few surprises. Should be good.

So that's it, I think. It's been a highly successful conference this year - as always. So with my thanks to all concerned for the arrangements and my thanks to you all for contributing, I look forward to meeting you individually tonight at the party.., which starts at 8pm in the Garden Room. And I hope to see you all in Birmingham next year!

An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience, over time. Start by saying to yourself, Okay, for the next five minutes I won’t allow myself to be bothered by anything. I'll be patient. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it's only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself.

Once you reach little milestones five minutes of successful patience you’ll begin to see that you do, indeed, have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.

Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn't life or death but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It's really not worth all that. Whether you’re needing to deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation if you don’t want to sweathe small stuff, improving your patience level isa great way to start.

leaving town.

Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel -- with several rooms overlooking the ocean. You'll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the second-floor lobby. It will take you into a different world.

What will you find when you enter the large contemporary lobby is a handsome and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany (托斯卡娜，意大利中西部地名) in its modern Mediterranean (地中海式的) style. The lobby has a large fireplace with comfortable sofas in warm neutral colors surrounding it. You'll feel relaxed just sitting there with its skylight overhead letting in the morning sun.

All the rooms are more like suites, with large comfortable beds, beautiful baths and stylish custom- designed furnishings and art throughout.

The Parisi Hotel is the perfect place for seniors because it's quiet and restful -- with only 20 rooms. You won't find many hotels like this in the center of a tourist town.

The shops are all around you. Likewise for some of the city's best restaurants, you will never have to take your car out of the garage during your stay. And, by the way, the underground parking lot at the Parisi Hotel is free for hotel guests.

Once you stay at this little gem (珍宝), you'll want to return again and again. I know we do. It's a perfect place for seniors.

Rates for standard suites begin at $275. You can call the hotel for reservation at (858) 454-1531. The Parisi Hotel is located at 1111 Prospect St. right across from La Valencia.

The Pafisi Hotel is described as ______.

A．a luxury hotel with comfortable facilities

B．a large hotel famous for its rooms facing the ocean

C．a good place for escaping away from the noisy city

D．a tourist attraction full of amazing corners
