The Roomer idea came from one of the co-founders, Gon, who had to cancel his visit to New York and was obligated to pay a significant cancellation fee for a hotel room that he did not use. As a consequence, there was a pricey hotel reservation that could not be made and cancelled without significant fees. Roomer raised $2 million from the BRM Group, and the Waze co-founder, Uri Levine whose co-founded company acquired by Google for $1 billion, sits on the board of Roomer. Since its startup in January 2013, in less than a year, Roomer has expanded its business to operate worldwide.

The church gained this name in 1673 under the patronage of the wealthy Flemish merchant Gaspare Roomer of Antwerp, who was devoted to the Saint Magdalena de Pazzi from the Pazzi family in Florence. Roomer attributed a number of events of good fortune to the providence of the saint. The site had held a monastery and church of Santa Teresa delle Santissimi Sacramento, and Roomer was able to change the name, and soon his daughter entered the convent. That was acceptable to her father, who felt most of the noblemen interested in marrying his daughters were more interested in marrying his wealth.

In Norse mythology, Sessrúmnir (Old Norse "seat-room"Orchard (1997:138). or "seat-roomer"Simek (2007:280).) is both the goddess Freyja's hall located in Fólkvangr, a field where Freyja receives half of those who die in battle, and also the name of a ship. Both the hall and the ship are attested in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholarly theories have been proposed regarding a potential relation between the hall and the ship.

Upon dying, Roomer left his home, now known as the Palazzo del Principe di Sannicandro, and his large collection of artworks to the monastery. The monastery adjacent to the church, originally of cloistered Carmelite nuns, was suppressed in 1806, and French troops used this church and that of San Carlo all'Arena a via Foria as an armory. It was returned as a church in 1815.

The prosperous Antwerp merchant Gaspar Roomer who resided in Naples may have facilitated his commercial success, although there is no documentary evidence for this. It appears that his characteristic candlelight scenes with half figures with their characteristic combination of elements from the oeuvres of Gerrit van Honthorst and Rubens were particularly popular with the local clientele. Stom's documented paintings show no sign of interest in Neapolitan artists of his time. Likely Stom left Naples after the novelty of his work had worn out, having been unable or unwilling to adapt.

In the late 1630s he commissioned from Rubens the Feast of Herod (now in the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh).Rubens' the Feast of Herod in the National Gallery of Scotland This Rubens painting may have contributed to the introduction to Naples of a neo-Venetian style that would impact on the evolution of the local Baroque. He also invited the local painter Aniello Falcone to paint frescos in his villa. This cycle on the History of Moses in the Villa Roomer is the only complete surviving fresco cycle of this artist.

In June 1937 he undertook the representation of Robert George Irwin, a former mental patient who was accused of murdering pulp magazine model Veronica Gedeon, her mother, and a roomer in New York City during Easter Weekend. During a nationwide search for Irwin, New York detectives announced their belief that Irwin was insane, but after Irwin turned himself in, they indicted him for first degree murder and claimed he was now sane. Early in trial, Leibowitz negotiated a plea bargain under which Irwin avoided the death penalty but would remain in custody for the rest of his life.

A rigid man of fifty leads a solitary, apparently respectable life, as clerk and bookkeeper for a small business and part-time rent collector for his landlord. He has rented a flat in the building for twenty years because deep in its cellar, unbeknownst to anyone else, is a mannequin that he periodically "strangles" in order to satisfy his homicidal urges. The figure's location in the cellar, the darkness, the furtiveness, all are essential to the solitary man's satisfaction. The tenuous mental equilibrium he has been able to maintain is threatened when a young man, healthy in mind and body, a doctoral candidate in psychology, becomes a roomer in the house.

Some strips featured a large roomer, that the landlord had rented a room to and asked various persons to evict.For example, Comics historian Don Markstein traced the proliferation of Puffle and other Hoople variations: :Knock-offs, such as Associated Press' Mister Gilfeather (which, by the way, was handled at various times by both Al Capp and Milton Caniff, before they hit it big with Li'l Abner and Terry and the Pirates, respectively), began to proliferate. In fact, it was a knock-off that took Ahern away from his creation. King Features launched one called Room and Board, starring the very Hoople-like Judge Puffle, in 1936, and hired Ahern himself to write and draw it.

Jan van den Eynde was also the owner of the largest collection of paintings in Naples, which was bequeathed to his son upon his death. In 1674, just few years after his father's death, the Marquess Ferdinand also inherited a sizable collection of 70 or 90 paintings from his longtime friend and business partner Gaspar Roomer. However, Marquess Ferdinand her father died the same year, and his collection, and assets, were split between his then-infant daughters, Giovanna and Elizabeth (his eldest daughter, Catherine, was also meant to have a share, but according to some sources she was later judged incapacitated). Van den Eynde's assets were frozen until each of his daughter reached adulthood and married.

In economics, a consumer unit is defined as either (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangements; (2) a person living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more persons living together who pool their income to make joint expenditure decisions. Financial independence is determined by the three major expense categories: housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent, a respondent must provide at least two of the three major expense categories.

He gained an international reputation; his works attracted the attention of the Flemish dealer and collector Gaspar Roomer, who sold his work across Europe, and he was one of the artists commissioned by Philip IV of Spain to paint a series of scenes from ancient Roman history for the Buen Retiro palace. He also painted various religious subjects such as the signed and dated Rest on the Flight to Egypt of 1641 (Naples Cathedral) and his frescoes for the chapel of Sant' Agata In S. Paolo Maggiore, Naples of around the same time.Painting in Naples: From Caravaggio to Giordano, 1981, p.153 The attribution of his battle scenes is complicated by the similarity of those of his pupil Andrea di Leone, with which they have often been confused.

This leads Tracy to the boarding house, forcing Flattop to flee. In a comic relief episode Flattop decides to hide his $50,000 in an old family album that he has hollowed out, as he is afraid that if he goes out with this much money he might be mugged; when Tracy visits the boarding house to question the dead boy's mother about her son flashing $50 bills around town, a reporter in need of a good picture of the deceased finds the money in the album. When questioned, the mother realizes that the money could only have come from her roomer, forcing Flattop to flee the scene just as Tracy storms the room. This begins a chase sequence that lasts for six months beginning at the end of 1943.

Elizabeth was born into the Van den Eynde family, a powerful and influential Neapolitan noble family of Flemish origin, related to several prominent Flemish artists, including Brueghel, Jode, Lucas de Wael and Cornelis de Wael. Her father was Ferdinand van den Eynde, 1st Marquess of Castelnuovo, the son of Jan van den Eynde, a wealthy merchant from Antwerp, who became one of the richest and most prominent men in Naples. The Marquess Ferdinand married Olimpia Piccolomini, of the House of Piccolomini, a nephew of Cardinal Celio Piccolomini, by whom he had three daughters, Catherine, the eldest, Giovanna, the secondborn, and Elizabeth. In 1674, just few years after Jan van den Eynde's death and the Marquess' inheritance of the latter's impressive art collection, her father also inherited a sizable collection of 70 or 90 paintings from his longtime friend and business partner Gaspar Roomer.

Jim decides to mine a nearby arroyo for copper, and when he learns new roomer Rita Kirby's abandoned husband George owns a New Jersey construction company, he invites the man to come to Tucson in the hope he'll invest in his latest project. George arrives with his inebriated mother-in- law, ex-vaudeville entertainer Minnie Moon, but he refuses to discuss any business propositions until he sorts through his personal problems, although he gives Emily a $250 check, which is enough money to pay off the mortgage on their home. When the owner of the arroyo threatens to close the mine unless Jim purchases the property immediately, he secretly takes out a new mortgage, hoping to buy it back after George invests in the venture. However, water instead of copper is found on the land, and all dealings with George end, and banker Sam Howell begins to repossess the Hefferen's furniture.

Upon his father death, Marquess Ferdinand restructured the Palazzo Zevallos, and, between 1671 and 1674, built the monumental Villa Carafa of Belvedere in Vomero, which today is the most historical villa in Vomero and one of the best known villas in Naples. When Gaspar Roomer, who had been both his and his father's friend and business partner, died in 1674, he bequeathed to Van den Eynde his own collection of paintings, composed of 70 or 90 pieces which included paintings by Peter Paul Rubens and Luca Giordano, further enlarging Van den Eynde's collection. Giordano was a friend of Van den Eynde, and, upon the latter's death, he drew up himself the inventory for Van den Eynde's inheritance(Giordano counted ten paintings by himself in Van den Eynde's collection at that time). However, Van den Eynde died of consumption the same year, and his huge collection passed to his daughters, Elizabeth and Jane (Giovanna).
