LONDON, ENGLAND, April 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) Choice Hotels Europe, the company behind the Comfort, Quality and Clarion brands in Europe, has announced that video footage on the majority of its UK properties has been posted on choicehotelsuk.co.uk, giving travellers a useful visual summary on each Choice-brand hotel and its amenities.
The videos are presented by each hotel's General Manager who introduces the property and outlines the hotel's features and services, as can be seen for Quality Hotels Maida Vale. The programme is part of a European-wide initiative to include video footage of all Choice-brand properties in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Ireland, and Portugal on both the hotel's individual websites as well as the Choice websites including ChoiceHotelsUK.co.uk and ChoiceHotels.eu.
As well as being a valuable tool to showcase each hotel, the videos are helping to improve the visibility of the hotels within the search engines used by both business and leisure travellers when researching accommodation.
Duncan Berry, UK CEO, Choice Hotels Europe, commented: "We are delighted to offer travellers enhanced information on our UK network of hotels. These videos also help the owners of our hotels, which are owned and operated under franchise agreements, to convert more bookings and improve search engine optimisation."
Andrew Plimmer, Operations Director for SKC Group added: "We have had positive guest feedback at our three hotels located in Enfield, Reading, and Great Yarmouth. The videos act as a warm welcome for guests prior to arrival and since the video for the Comfort Hotel Enfield went live we have seen a positive increase in our search engine ranking."
The videos will soon be available to view on the recently launched Choice Hotels Europe YouTube channel.

Study finds soda consumption increases overall stroke risk
2012-04-21
Friday, April 20, 2012 – Researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Institute and Harvard University have found that greater consumption of sugar-sweetened and low-calorie sodas is associated with a higher risk of stroke. Conversely, consumption of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee was associated with a lower risk.
The study – recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition – is the first to examine soda's effect on stroke risk. Previous research has linked sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, high ...
Warwick scientists uncover how 'checkpoint' proteins bind chromosomes
2012-04-21
The development of more effective cancer drugs could be a step nearer thanks to the discovery, by scientists at Warwick Medical School, of how an inbuilt 'security check' operates to guarantee cells divide with the correct number of chromosomes.
Most cells in our bodies contain 23 pairs of chromosomes that encode our individual genetic identities. The process of chromosome segregation is monitored by a system called the spindle checkpoint that ensures daughter cells receive the correct number of chromosomes.
If daughter cells receive an unequal number of chromosomes, ...
Range of diagnostic spinal fluid tests needed to differentiate concurrent brain diseases
2012-04-21
NEW ORLEANS – Teasing out the exact type or types of dementia someone suffers from is no easy task; neurodegenerative brain diseases share common pathology and often co-occur. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania are continuing efforts to differentiate diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) from frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), as FTLD is often clinically difficult to distinguish from atypical presentations of AD.
In a series of studies being presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 64th Annual Meeting ...
Study finds that mild winters are detrimental to butterflies
2012-04-21
The recent mild winter throughout much of the United States was a cause for celebration for many. However, butterfly aficionados shouldn't be joining in the celebration.
A new study by Jessica Hellmann, associate professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame, and researchers from Western University found that mild winters, such as the one many of us just experienced, can be taxing for some butterfly or possibly other species.
Hellmann and her fellow researchers studied caterpillars of the Propertius Duskywing butterfly, which feed on Gary Oak trees. ...
Fat outside of arteries may influence onset of coronary artery disease
2012-04-21
CINCINNATI—Researchers at UC have confirmed that fat surrounding the outside of arteries in humans—particularly the left coronary artery—may influence the onset of coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S.
These findings, being presented at the American Heart Association's Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB) 2012 Scientific Sessions in Chicago April 20, 2012, may help in identifying the molecular culprit, with the goal of creating targeted therapies for atherosclerosis before the disease forms.

NASA sees slow-developing System 99P dogging Northern Australia
2012-04-21
NASA satellites have been monitoring the slow-to-develop low pressure area called System 99P for four days as it lingers in the Arafura Sea, north Australia's Northern Territory. Satellite data indicates that System 99P is likely to continue struggling because of weak organization and nearby dry air.
System 99P was captured in an infrared image on April 20, 2012 at 04:55 UTC (12:55 a.m. EDT) by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies onboard NASA's Aqua satellite. At that time, System 99P was centered about 190 nautical miles (218.6 ...
