The practice of Revenue Management began over three decades ago. Since then, rapid advancement in technology has allowed RM applications to provide extraordinary benefits to companies. In addition to realizing great success, data scientists who study Revenue Management have learned a great deal from challenges faced over time.
There have been several notable milestones in the pioneering of analytical pricing and Revenue Management which have paved the way for other industries to adapt and enhance these strategies.
In 1977, American Airlines unveiled its 'Super Saver' discount fares, expanding the role of Revenue Management to include allocating reservations to different fare classes and different passenger segments.
In 1985, when American Airlines introduced the 'Ultimate Super Saver' discount fares, it allowed the company to more effectively compete with PEOPLExpress, a low-cost airline. As American Airlines and others discovered a way to match the low fares of PEOPLExpress – but only for those seats that they predicted would otherwise be unsold – it foreshadowed the downfall of the low-cost carrier. Instead of relying on a roomful of people to allocate those discount seats, the airline installed innovative and dynamic inventory management systems that could accurately forecast passenger demand for different fare classes. The system also had the ability to deftly save seats for late-booking, higher-paying passengers, and to allocate leftover seats to a variety of fares with advanced purchase restrictions.
This ability to offer discounts with laser-precision enabled American to offer an Ultimate Super Saver Fare which was below PEOPLExpress' lowest price. Using these sophisticated inventory management systems, American, Delta and others could offer a broad range of fares (for example from $69 to $699) which gave them tremendous flexibility in matching consumer willingness-to-pay with the airline's available capacity. PEOPLExpress, unable to respond, saw its load factors drop from 85 percent to 30 percent and its losses hit a staggering $50 million per month, ultimately forcing them to merge with Continental Airlines in 1987.
Another milestone in Revenue Management occurred in the mid-1990s when UPS implemented a customized bid-response model to predict the probability of winning long-term contracts, resulting in increased profits of over $100 million per year. UPS recognized that their problem was different from airlines and hotels. Rather than optimizing the revenue for a discrete event such as the purchase of an airline seat or a hotel room, UPS was negotiating annual rates for large-volume customers using a multitude of services over the course of a year. They formulated the problem as a customized bid-response model that used historical data to predict the probability of winning at different price points. They called the system 'Target Pricing'.
With Target Pricing, they were able to forecast the outcomes of any contractual bid at various net prices. They were able to identify where they could command a price premium over competitors and where deeper discounts were required to land deals. Incorporating cost data and strategic marketing objectives enabled them to give accurate pricing guidance to the sales force in any competitive situation. The result was more consistent and rational pricing for customers and long-term profit maximization for UPS.
A modern, real-world success story
Recently, a leading national automotive retailer with more than $9 billion in revenue was facing challenges from their customers, particularly hyper-informed millennials. To overcome this challenge, they combined their cumulative internal knowledge and subject matter expertise with analytics and data modeling techniques to develop a customized solution.
With the implementation of this innovative solution, inventory decisions at the automotive retailer are now based on rigorous demand forecasts and optimization. Additionally, pricing decisions have been transformed with a market-based pricing approach.
Through these innovative capabilities, a competitive advantage was created, delivering a projected $100+ million in benefits.
There are many opportunities available to companies that take advantage of Revenue Management capabilities. Implementing analytically-driven pricing and Revenue Management solutions can provide companies with the competitive advantage and transparency they need to be top of mind with consumers providing the right product, at the right time, and for the right price.

Archive for the 'Line follower' tag
New Line Tracking Tutorials added to the VEX Cortex Video Trainer
Good news everyone! I'm excited to let you know that our latest batch of tutorials in the VEX Cortex Video Trainer are available now!
This set of 5 tutorials focuses on the VEX Line Tracking Sensors:
- The Line Tracking Sensors – Introduces the sensors and explains how they work
- Calculating Thresholds – Goes through the process of acquiring sensor values using the ROBOTC Sensor Debug window and calculating a threshold for the robot to distinguish light from dark
- Basic Line Tracking – Opens, explains, and runs a basic line tracking sample program on the robot
- Line Track for Distance – Modifies the sample program to line track for a number of encoder counts
- Optimized Line Tracking – Explains how to modify motor speeds for tracking different types of lines
These tutorials will work with the new VEX Line Tracking Sensors (in the picture above), as well as the slightly larger, previous generation. To view them, open the VEX Cortex Video Trainer and head to the Sensing > Line Tracking section. Be on the look-out for additional programming challenges and activities using the line tracking sensors early next year.
As usual, the VEX Line Tracking Sensors can be purchased at the RobotMatter store. Happy Holidays everyone!
Part Lego, part Arduino, part BoeBot, this is Frankenfollower. This robot was programmed in ROBOTC for Arduino, a port that is still in alpha stage of development but can be used quite nicely for programming the Arduino Duemilenova. Other Arduino variants will be supported very soon.
The Arduino port of ROBOTC has some really cool features:
- Easy to use sensor and motor configuration UI
- Breakpoints and a debugger
- Ability to watch your variables live
- Multiple tasks (4 at the time of writing)
I've taken some pictures of the UI, so you can have a look. Please note that the appearance of these UIs will probably change before the final version, so keep that in mind.
So as you can see, it's all quite functional at the moment. I've made a small video with some additional pictures of Frankenfollower and some footage of it in action.
I'm sure I'll expand on Frankenfollower in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out on my blog!

Larry McGuire's Recipe for Warm Potatoes and Greens With Melted Cambozola
This salad from Jeffrey's restaurant in Austin, Texas, is just a little luxurious
SOME DISHES STICK with you. Larry McGuire has held on to this salad of roasted potatoes, melted cheese, wilted greens and cherry tomatoes since the days when he was starting out in the restaurant business in his hometown of Austin, Texas. "I used to work at a restaurant called Starlight as a line cook," he said. "They had this on the menu, and it was the bestselling thing. Whoever worked that station just had to make tons of these all night."
Starlight has since closed, but Mr. McGuire, now 31 and chef-partner...

I feel bad, because
I promised gun porn and I just don't have much worth showing. Nothing really caught my eye today in the way of firearms, other than this Dragoon...
Which I found interesting simply because it was converted to cartridge. To me that's an awful big weapon to carry on your hip, even though I have used Dragoons as belt guns in my foolish youth. I am now firmly of the opinion that Dragoons and Walkers belong in pommel holsters on the front of your saddle, not your belt.
And here we have the ever popular LeMat. I will get around to getting myself a repop one of these days, just to plink with.
I have more pictures, but they're pretty crappy and not all of them are firearms, I also took pictures of some saddles, a nice looking pair of Mexican spurs and a Rev War era Dragoon helmet.
This is all for now, if I do a little photoshop work on the other pictures, I may put some of them up later this week.

I bought a 07 tige 24ve last year and love it this year I'm just getting into wake surfing and finally getting it tuned in for a great wake to surf on . I wanted to keep it as original as I can, it does have the factory ballast system . So I currently have the 2 -300 pound factory tanks in the back I also have 2 -750 pound sacs in the lockers and I have 2-370 pound sacks in the side seats and the 300 pound factory in the front . I actually took the sacks out of the side seats and placed one
I have a 2015 Tige' R20. Anyone try the mission delta surf shaper on it? If so, how much weight would you recommend in the port and starboard ballast lockers?

OkCupid profile advice – So what have they learned from these dates and what to expect based off what's read in the profile? Here is some general advice from my interviewees.
1. Less is more. The fewer pictures and less details on content the better. Basically when people glance through your profile they have an easier time identifying a reason not to like you than reasons why you are good. How many times have you gone through the person with 8 pictures only to get to the last one and say "Oh, that is not a cute picture, in fact he/she doesn't even look like his/her other pictures."
2. Avoid overused cliches. You want to make yourself stand out. Lot's of people say that they are: down to earth, smart, enjoy exploring the city (what does that even mean?), like to go out to eat (as opposed to going hungry), saying that "your eyes" or your "great personality" are the first thing people notice about you.
3. Things not to list in your "six things you could never do without": my cellphone, porn, quality food, my Apple products, my virginity, my hips that have moves like Jagger, physical things that we all need like air, water, and food.
4. Mention inside jokes about nerdy science fiction shows like BattleStar Galactica, ie. mention that you are not a Cyclon. (Oops I'm guilty of this).
5. Talk about sex before the first date. This is mostly for the straight guys reaching out to girls.
My profile is pretty awesome, check it out: http://bit.ly/4kb77v

I out grew my old photography business logo and needed a 'more me' and 'what I do' kind of logo to capture and hold people's attention.
I showed Daniel from psyborg® a rough sketch of what I had in mind and then he just blew me away with 3 far more amazing designs that he came up with. The designs reflected my personality which flows into my work.
After coming down from the amazement of the designs, my partner and I agreed on the one to use. I am fussy and particular and I prayed that one day I would get the exact, right logo.
I didn't realise I would be so overwhelmed and amazed at seeing a logo that represented me exactly.
Thank you Daniel. Edward Cross

First up: Laundry detergent! This detergent is safe for all washing machines, even HE :) I use 1-2 Tbsp depending on the load size. I tend to use about 5 drops of each essential oil per batch but you can always add a few more if you want. Some of my favorite essential oil combos: Purification and lemon, Peppermint and lemon, Lavender and eucalyptus
One of the main reasons I tend to not make my own cleaning products is that I hate ordering the supplies! Here are links to some of my favorites. You can order all of the containers on amazon and have them shipped to your door :) I get my vinegar, washing soda, epsom salt, etc. at target or walmart. Most of the bottles and containers come in bulk so invite some friends over and have a party!

AfDB-Civil Society Engagement & Consultation Forum: Two Eminent African Leaders to Deliver Keynote Addresses
Tunis, 16 February, 2010 - Two key note addresses by Botswana's Former President, Festus Gontebanye Mogae, and the Sudanese Pan-Africanist, Mo Ibrahim, will launch the platform for an AfDB-Civil Society Engagement and Consultations Forum at Hotel Sheraton Tunis on Monday, March 1, 2010.
The keynote addresses entitled, respectively: Development Challenges and the Role of Civil Society in Africa and "Partnering with the African Development Bank" will follow welcome remarks by the AfDB President, Donald Kaberuka, who will preside over the forum's opening session.
The first keynote address by President Mogae will, in addition to key development challenges facing the continent, highlight the increasing roles of civil societies in Africa. These roles are already evident in Bank Group operations.
For example, the Tanzania Agricultural Sector Development Programme was designed with inputs into specific activities and delivery mechanisms based on a nation-wide consultation forum. The Uganda support to Rural Income Enhancement and Employment Project was also designed only after a comprehensive consultation process was completed. The Bank has supported specific projects in The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Mali, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Central African Republic, Guinea Bissau, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique and Ethiopia to increase the capacity of rural micro-finance institutions to reach the rural poor.
This was particularly so within the framework of the recent food and financial crises. All Bank-supported roads and energy sector projects implement a consultation process with stakeholders and communities in the project area with an advance of at least two to three years. To further deliver services to the Bank's regional member countries in a timely and effective manner, the Bank recognises the opportunity to capitalise on local knowledge, skills and networks of NGOs which are specifically sought in times of natural disasters.
The second keynote address that will focus on partnering with the Bank will reflect the institution's modalities and guidelines on cooperating with civil society organisations and non-governmental organisations at various levels in efforts at delivering development services.
Over the last twenty years, the collaboration has been strengthened with increased mutual knowledge and experience based on best practices and lessons learnt in the field, leading to the development of certain formalized policies and guidelines since 1990. The policies and guidelines which were revised in 2000 provide a framework for improved collaboration with CSOs/NGOs in all sectors. The Tunis forum will provide an occasion to deepen mutual cooperation mechanisms between the Bank and the CSOs.
The following brief profiles of the two eminent speakers explain why the Bank chose them to flag off this very important forum.
Dr Mo Ibrahim is the founder of Celtel International and one of Africa's most successful business leaders. Originally from Sudan, Dr Ibrahim is a global expert in mobile communications with a distinguished academic and business career. In 1998, he founded MSI Cellular Investments, which was later renamed Celtel International. The company now operates in 15 African countries, under licenses that cover more than a third of the continent's population. The company has invested more than $750m in Africa, helping to bring the benefits of mobile communications to millions of people across the continent. In 2005, Celtel was sold to MTC Kuwait for $3.4bn, making it one of Africa's most successful companies ever. Dr Ibrahim holds a BSc in electrical engineering from the University of Alexandria, Egypt, an MSc in electronics and electrical engineering from the University of Bradford, and PhD in mobile communications from the University of Birmingham. He is a member of the Africa Regional Advisory Board of London Business School.
Festus Mogae was born on August 21,1939, and is a former President of Botswana having served from 1998 to 2008. He currently serves as the United Nations Secretary-General Special Envoy on Climate Change. Mr. Mogae studied Economics at University College, Oxford, and University of Sussex. He worked as a civil servant with the IMF and the Bank of Botswana. Mogae was awarded the Grand Cross of the Légion d'honneur by French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, on 20 March 2008 for his "exemplary leadership" in making Botswana a model of democracy and good governance. He stepped down as president on 1 April 2008 and was succeeded by his vice president, Ian Khama. Mr. Mogae won the 2008 Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership, and will receive US$ 5 million over 10 years and US$ 200,000 per annum for life thereafter. At London's City Hall on 20 October 2008, former United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, said that "President Mogae's outstanding leadership has ensured Botswana's continued stability and prosperity in the face of an HIV/AIDS pandemic which threatened the future of his country and people."

New, new, new. Its just plain new!
A time to laugh and a time to weep, a time to work a time to live, a time to win and a time to fail. Back to school mode. Bye, beaches. Hello books. The school year had just begun. So many things were unexpected. New teachers, new government, new people, so many new faces and the biggest change the new "kibuts."
So many things have changed, and I don't know where to start. Let me begin with the teachers. Well I for one have thought that they would be push-overs. They all look so young, but honestly the new teachers of JCA really do know what they are talking about in front of the class. It is true that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The teachers look sweet and they but I used to think that they are somehow incapable of teaching us students, they look kind of weak. Well they sure showed me.
Next, the new SSG, lead by Ms. Danielle V. Nakpil as the president of the student body and Mr. Josiah Albelda as their adviser, promises to make this year a school year nobody would ever forget. From what I've seen in the last few weeks in school I would say that they really trying their best to make this school year rock.
New faces, the numbers of students of JCA increased this year. And I like what I'm seeing most of the new students are nice and they know how to treat the people around them. That's nice, actually I think everybody should be like that so that no body will ever get left behind.
The new Kibuts, it has a very cool new look. The staff even has a new uniform. The price rates lessen and the food is still the same. But with new looks comes new irritating rules. Well we cant have everything, I guess there's always a catch. Well who knows we all have our opinions.
So many things has already happened, its only been one month. What else would happen next? One things for sure, this year would be different.

Panchkula: Former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore's, convicted for molesting budding tennis player Ruchika Girhotra
two decades ago, plea for parole has been rejected by the
district administration, officials said Saturday.
Rathore, who is lodged in Burail jail in Chandigarh
after he was awarded 18-month prison term on May 25, had
sought 10-day parole on grounds that he had to get some work
done on his agricultural land in Panchkula, they said.
The plea has been rejected following the report of the
Revenue Department officials that no sowing or harvesting was
to be done on the land belonging to Rathore family in a nearby
village, they said.
After Rathore`s conviction by a local court, his
lawyer wife Abha had on May 26 filed a revision petition in
the High Court which was also rejected by Justice Jitendra
Chauhan earlier this week.
14-year-old Ruchika was molested by Rathore, the then
Haryana Lawn Tennis Association president, in August 1990.
Three years later Ruchika committed suicide.
Anand Parkash, husband of Madhu Parkash, who was the
complainant in the case had objected to Rathore`s move seeking
release on parole.

I have recently learned that it sometimes takes tough exploration of your past in order to make measurable strides to find the truly happy, future you. I have held onto particular events of my past like they were life lines; like they were all sewn together to create a veil that shrouded my true potential. Sure, I have had successes in my life and am very proud of where I am today; however, I have had a feeling in my soul for way too long that I have been unworthy of this success and the happiness that I have been so blessed with in my life. It all started in fifth grade.
I was an ugly pre-teen. The boys at school made sure I knew that about myself, barking as I went by. I was awkward. The girls overtly laughed at me for wanting so badly to fit in. Inviting me into their 'group' only to humiliate me by exclaiming that their invitation was merely a joke and that they would never allow the likes of me into their group of fifth grade, big boobed beauties. I still to this day remember every one of their names. When I have seen their names on Facebook or bumped into them over the years I still get cold sweats. I wonder if they remember me and have any idea how their seemingly harmless actions created deep cracks in what I believed to be a normal, beautiful persona.
Beginning last spring, I was able to get off the non-stop, whirlwind ride that has been my life for so many years. Through reiki, yoga, and meditation, I have been able to carefully peel back the layers that life has deposited and found the 'me' that I didn't even know was lost. Through stillness, I was able to find the strength to let go of the life lines that I have clung so closely to since fifth grade, to cut into pieces the veil I wore. I watched them float away on the winds of change.
I recently read an intriguing book called the Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Deborah Ford. In this book, Deborah spoke about our personalities being likened to a castle with many rooms. At a very young age, we try out our personality traits on others, acting the way we naturally feel we should. In this process, we reveal the rooms in our castle – different traits being represented by different rooms. When we are perceived negatively because of a certain trait or action, we tend to close the door on that room in our castle, perhaps never to revisit it again. There may come a time in our lives that we have more closed rooms in our castle than open ones and this may cause us to lose sight of who we really are.
As I began my healing journey last spring, I realized that there were many rooms in my castle that had been long since forgotten. I continue to make my way through the hallways and darkened rooms in my castle of life carrying with me my new found inner light to shine in each room; I embrace every cobweb and creepy crawler that is exposed. There is no telling what will turn up as I meander through this process, but I am encouraged by the parts of me that have been found thus far and have been reunited with other parts. Through continued meditation, yoga practice and self-reflection, I continue to embrace a state of excited anticipation for the changes that are on the horizon!
What parts of yourself have you hidden away? What lessons have you learned through meditation or self-reflection? Have you revisited any long lost rooms in your castle?

Functionality is really good on this overall pretty user friendly. The features were very nice especially for tracking inventory which we felt was helpful.
Customer service was not the best and at times had to follow up with them a lot. However when we did get to talk to someone about maybe a question or issue they were pleasant on the phone.

DBZ: A Demon's Demons
Register HERE before posting!
Summary: It was only a month after the resurface of Siber, the most powerful Arcrosian to have ever lived among the universe, empowered by an artifact given to him by inhabitants of the Demon Realm. The Z-Fighters were able to put a stop to Siber's plans, but this went at a great cost. While the damage was repaired to a degree as the foremost victims were brought back to life, the trauma and the memories remain. Coupled with the apparent 'betrayal' by a few of their foremost allies, Brachi and her family and friends are still trying to recover from the whole chain of events, especially Brachi as she's one of the worst affected of the group. But when the group receives two visitors from the most unlikely place with a warning, it appears that not everyone is exactly happy with how the conflict has come to an end. It is only a matter of time for the group to enter the battlefield once more...
A whole month has passed after the Z-Fighters have finally put an end to the rein of the raging Arcrosian known as Siber and taken away his source of power, an artifact created by the Demons which gave Siber control over time and space, with his forces spread over different realms altogether. With Siber defeated and by extension bound to the realm he resided in after the artifact that linked him to Brachi's universe was destroyed, it appeared all was well, but not everything was as it seems.
In the days that followed after the Z-Fighters have destroyed a planet that appeared to be Siber's primary base of operations, much changed. The Appule-race warrior known as Shonfu and his second-in-command, the Cui-race warrior known as Tamar, formally resigned/defected from the Planet Trade Organization together with the Planet Trade Soldiers whom survived the onslaught of Cold Prime, with Cold Prime Starbase Commander Zuberi and Cold Prime Strike Fleet Commander Meron among them, and permanently sided with the Z-Fighters, effectively giving the Earthling-Martian Alliance another planet under their wing. The planet, usually known as Planet Frieza 68, now has a fully functional Martian Colony present, which is intertwined with Shonfu's own base of operations. The Saiyan Rabi had been appointed as the ambassador of the colony, with Shonfu and Tamar recruiting her as a Field Agent, keeping in close touch with Earth, Mars and Lunei.
On Earth however, things were not going exactly as peaceful as it was assumed. While most of the Z-Fighters present have been able to come to terms what happened and made a smooth recovery, some of them are still suffering from nightmares, or are behaving much differently than before, being either still in recovery process or otherwise still suffering from a severe post-traumatic stress disorder which has hit them far worse than expected.
A notable example is Anne. The once usually so happy-go-lucky android guard has behaved much more timid, although she is showing traces of returning back to her old self. However, this didn't rule out the fact that she is a lot more cautious and also more soft-spoken, almost as if she was given a major reality check.
Dielec has been hit with a short-lived depression in the aftermath, having suffered nightmares of reliving Judy's death all over again. It took the aid and reassurance of Judy herself that the whole situation was beyond Dielec's control that the android eventually got over her depression, returning to normal.
Tempest and Xeno made a much more smoother recovery, having relied on the comfort and support of each other to get over the events, solidifying the bond between them even more than before. Sheila on the other hand was worse off, although she has made also great steps in recovering from her own depression, having received help from not only her girlfriend Lea as well as Tempest and Xeno, but also from her father Simon. The well-respected general of King Furry's Army was granted some time off to tend to his traumatized daughter, showing that even as a general, he felt that his daughter needed him the most at this time. In the time that Simon helped his daughter out, Major Sanda was given the role as Acting Commander of their unit, although the Major and several soldiers have been visiting Simon on a few occasions whenever it was convenient, showing how much they respected their general and wished that his daughter made a swift recovery.
Goles, Marron Jr. and Bulma Jr. have suffered frequently from nightmares where Siber was brutally torturing them, often leading them to be comforted by Tempest, Xeno, Gina, Celicia and Brachi. However, out of all of the group, Brachi herself was the worst affected, especially considering the fact she was killed by the hands of Siber himself after the lost battle of Cold Prime I and through this she was helpless to watch from Other World how her friends and family fought valiantly against the mighty Arcosian and although the battle ended victorious for the group, most of Brachi's family and friends lost their own lives during the assault. Coupled with the disappearance of Vegetto, Gogeta, Goku, Vegeta and Beerus in the heat of the fight during the Battle of Cold Prime I left Brachi with the feeling she was abandoned by those whom she saw as close allies.
The only person whom remained in the good graces of the group was none other than Dread Master Bestia, whom currently was also residing on Earth. She took residence in the home once occupied by Goku and his family in the East District region, where she was now watching over the currently ailing Brachi, whom was hit with illness, coupled with her own depression and the effects of the post-traumatic stress disorder. The others realized that, despite her looks, Brachi was still 'young' in terms of existence and, save for the life- and existence-threatening battles against beings like Janembuu and the Dread Masters themselves, has never been in a real serious conflict before in her own universe. At Dread Master Bestia's side were Celicia and Majin Bara, the latter of the two being the most concerned over Brachi's well-being in general.
Currently, Brachi, Bestia, Bara, Celicia, Goles, Bulma Jr. and Marron Jr. were the only ones present within Goku's house, but Majin Bara received a message that the others were on their way to visit her, wanting to see how she was doing right now. Brachi was currently bed-ridden due to her illness, sweating profusely as she currently slept. Present with her in the room were Majin Bara and Dread Master Bestia, while Celicia was with the three children downstairs in order to wait for the others to arrive. Surprisingly, Shonfu, Tamar and Rabi were also on their way, and even the space pirate Busa has sent out a message to expect a visit from her soon.
"Any idea how long it takes for her to get better?" Majin Bara asked the Dread Master.
Bestia shook her head.
"No. I wish I had the knowledge, but I'm afraid that this is a battle that Brachi must fight herself. All we can do is continue to support her and hope for the best." She said.
"I understand." Bara said, before she took the bucket that was beside Brachi's bed to clean it up.

Re: DBZ: A Demon's Demons
Arias walked in with severe concern on her face.. and sadness. The triplets premature birth had caused them to die while the others were away. She radiated greif and sorrow.
Re: DBZ: A Demon's Demons
Celicia saw Arias and walked towards her, moving to give her a hug as she too was deeply concerned with what was happening with Brachi, the three children resting for a moment on the couch.

"I'm so, so sorry to hear that. Our sympathies for your loss." She said as she held her.

Celicia rubbed Arias' back, comforting her as she did.
"Great... first Brachi has fallen ill... and now this..." She said softly and sadly, as if lingering with regret.

Oh...for the LOVE of digging!!!
The whole day was spent blissfully in the garden. I love this time of year...usually my ambitious nature grabs ahold and I have plans for a garden that is bigger, better, and more bountiful than the garden of the year past.
I garden with passion, with wild ambition and most importantly, I garden with hope!! There is no greater pleasure than putting in a little seed and "hoping" that it will grow. Days pass, and I go up to my garden day after day, just waiting, aching for those first little green heads to poke their way through the ground. It is a miracle in action, and while I know the science behind the process of seeds turning into plants, it's still pretty mind blowing.
Matilda watching the neighbours tractor in the field
We have almost all of our cold weather crops in...spinach, carrots, beets, onions, parsnips, peas, and tomorrow will come the rutabagas, more onions, and some flowers!! It's lovely to include children in the garden...while I was raking and digging the beds, Matilda was beside me with a little garden spade and bucket, digging and dumping and then coming in for a kiss or hug! Ruby was busy climbing trees and talking it up with the farmer and his dog, "Blackie",who was fixing up the fence posts the keep his cows in the pasture next door to us. On a day like today I think my life just may be enchanted!!
The flowers forming on our lilacs...
In honour of planting, flowers and gardening...here is a little poem to share
(I am a huge fan of classic poetry, and love to share it with my kids)!
A Garden
A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
And closed them beneath the kisses of night.
And the Spring arose on the garden fair,
And the Spirit of Love fell everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry nest.
-Percy Bysshe Shelley

|Upper stage failure
|Insufficient quality control (foreign object)

|Desired orbit

"Preliminary flight information indicates that the Breeze M [Briz M] upper stage shut down early during its planned burn sequence. As a contingency, the satellite was separated," according to launch service provider ILS. The satellite ended up in a far too low orbit and was de-orbited on 24 March 2005 UTC over the Pacific Ocean.
The Russian State Commission that investigated the failure concluded that an anomaly in the oxidiser supply system caused the Briz M upper stage main engine to shut down prematurely. Based on telemetry data, the most probable cause of the oxidiser supply interruption was a foreign particle that blocked a nozzle of the booster hydraulic pump, the commission stated.

If you get a chance to listen to the Tom Farley interview with Mr. Media I believe that it is the best one on the web. I took down the embedded code to the interview, because it automatically played everytime you would open up the page, but here is the link if you would like to give it a listen:
Unfortunately the Mancow media link was taken down. If anyone is dying to listen to it hit me up with an email at email@example.com and I will see what I can do.

Opsona Therapeutics Ltd. Patent issued in US and EU covering the Opsona-developed antibody OPN-305, which is directed against Toll-like Receptor-2 (TLR-2) and the use and development thereof
18th February 2015, Dublin, Ireland – Opsona Therapeutics Ltd ('Opsona'), the innate immune drug development company focused on novel therapeutic approaches to treat autoimmune, inflammatory diseases and oncology, today announced the issuances of US Patent 8,734,794 and European Patent, EP2,451,842, which cover the Opsona developed antibody OPN-305, which is directed against Toll-like Receptor-2 (TLR-2) and the use and development thereof.
TLR-2 plays an important role in the induction and progression of a number of non-pathogen associated inflammatory conditions including ischaemia reperfusion injury (delayed graft function in renal transplantation, myocardial infarct), certain cancer, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis.
TLR-2 is one of the key structures of the innate immune system and is part of the first line defense against microbial organisms. Upon stimulation it induces and propagates inflammation. TLR-2 is activated through so called external danger signals (microbial cell wall components) as well as through so called internal danger signals resulting from tissue injury.
OPN-305, which has been developed by Opsona, is a humanised IgG4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) antagonizing TLR-2 and is under development as a treatment for the prevention of Early Graft Dysfunction following renal transplantation, second–line lower risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in addition to other therapeutic indications.
These patents describe OPN-305, which is a 'cross-reactive' antibody which specifically blocks mammalian TLR-2 and further provides for a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of various inflammatory conditions. The recently issued patents are exclusively owned by Opsona Therapeutics.
Opsona has successfully conducted a Phase I clinical trial in healthy volunteers with its lead drug candidate OPN-305. This was the first-in-human study with OPN-305 and also represents the first clinical study for an anti-TLR-2 drug candidate.
A three-part multi-center, double blinded and placebo controlled Phase II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of OPN-305 in renal transplant patients at high risk of Early Graft Dysfunction as the first clinical target indication for the development of OPN-305 was initiated in April 2013 and is currently ongoing.
An open label Phase I/II study to assess the safety and efficacy of cycles of intravenously infused doses of OPN-305 in second-line lower (low and intermediate-1) risk MDS, a form of blood cancer, as the second clinical target indication for OPN-305 was initiated in January 2015.
Commenting on today's announcement, Mary Reilly VP Pharmaceutical Development and Operations of Opsona Therapeutics said, "The issuance of these patents is an important milestone in the development of Opsona's TLR2 intellectual property portfolio and will facilitate market exclusivity for the use of OPN-305 in the ever expanding area of TLR2-mediated diseases."

The strong currents of the famous rebel Guayabo River at it's highest point in the Anton Valley watershed almost destroyed a large area of privately owned land. Constant changes in the water levels has eroded the banks, causing ancient trees to fall helpless into the river's grasp. The construction of luxury residences "Los Portales" was suspended as the fight against nature seemed insurmountable. Traditional methods of erosion control had produced empty results as the river continued it's path of destruction.
Technical Information:
- Materials Used EnviroGrid EGA306 6,500 m2 and Applications: (Retaining Wall)
- EnviroGrid EGA304 1,000 m2, (Slope Erosion Control)
- Project Length: February-June 2011 (5 Months), 12 man Crew
Problem and Objective:
Eventually it became apparent that traditional methods would not solve the problem of erosion. The owners of Los portales were faced with a decision. Either implement a novel technology to solve the erosion problems or abandon the entire residential project. Panaweb technicians got control of the situation at an extremely critical point in the process and suggested the Envirogrid cellular confinement system as a solution to the owners of Los Portales.
Design Solutions:
The Envirogrid geocells were utilized to create a monolithic system, comprised of retaining walls and slope protection, resistant to erosion above and below the natural river walls. The system reshaped the river banks to soften the course of flow and established proper drainage from the surrounding areas. Adjacent slopes were protected and the resulting system was vegetated to provide a long term solution.
Construction Overview:
The whole project was completed in the dry season. To begin, the riverbed was excavated to 1.5m below natural grade to allow for construction of a stable foundation resistant to the erosive forces of the river. Envirogrid layers, 6" tall and 5 cells deep, were stacked to build a 3 m high, 212 m long retaining wall. The layers below the natural river bottom were wrapped with a non woven geotextile to prevent undermining of the system. The front two cells of each wall panel were filled with lean concrete and the remainder were filled with local gravel and stones from the riverbed. The slopes above the wall were reshaped to 45 degrees and protected with Envirogrid panels, filled with local dirt from the site and vegetated immediately with a grass called Chorrerana. The few trees that remained at the river's edge were protected with individual retaining walls.
With the arrival of the strong rainy season in the Anton valley watershed, the river Guayabo ran its course with out inundating the surrounding area. Contractors were able to complete the residential project on time and restore the natural environment of the development. The owners of the property were ecstatic with the beautiful and functional results of the project. Flooding is now a thing of the past. The Envirogrid Geocell system was integrated flawlessly into the natural terrain while keeping the Rio Guayabo in its natural course.

Sage Summit 2017: Business Builders of All Sizes Embrace Artificial Intelligence and Automation
AI workshops, panels, and inspirational speakers empower 5,000 entrepreneurs to future-proof their businesses as part of Sage's largest customer event of the year
Atlanta (May 15, 2017) – Sage, the global market leader in cloud accounting and business management software, inspired thousands of business builders to embrace a future powered by artificial intelligence and automation at Sage Summit U.S. 2017. Over the course of three days, 5,000 attendees from around the world came together with local government leaders, including the Mayor of Atlanta Kasim Reed, executives, and AI experts to discuss the biggest issues and opportunities impacting business and entrepreneurship.
"Business Builders create two-thirds of new jobs and power the U.S. economy as well as creating social cohesion," said Stephen Kelly, CEO Sage. "Sage Summit U.S. is our opportunity to champion these heroes of the economy and recognize the sacrifices they make to follow their dreams. This week provided business builders with amazing tools and fantastic insights, enabling them to take advantage of the most exciting advances in the technology industry, no matter the size of their business."
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed welcomed Summit attendees to Atlanta, highlighting Sage's contributions to the city's growing recognition as a leading tech community and FinTech Center of Excellence:
"Atlanta is a city full of innovators and disrupters. We are fertile ground for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, because we are innovating in everything we do," said Reed. "We are immensely proud of our partnership with Sage and we look forward to building on that relationship in the future."
During Sage Summit, the first to be hosted in Sage's North American home, Atlanta, Sage stressed its technology-driven vision for invisible admin powered by artificial intelligence. The company also announced a series of product releases, including the first integration between Pegg, the world's first accounting chatbot, and Amazon's Alexa, allowing business builders to manage their finances using just their voice.
"Accounting is a perfect use case for automation, because it relies on repetitive, manual tasks," said Kriti Sharma, Vice President of Bots and Artificial Intelligence for Sage. "Using bots and AI to automate these processes, we allow business builders to focus on the more human elements of their business, freeing them up to focus on activities like acquiring new customers or driving innovation."
In the closing keynote, Sharma hosted a fireside chat with two AI experts: British entrepreneur Josh Browder, founder of DoNotPay, which helps motorists appeal their parking tickets, and Hassan Sawaf, who leads artificial intelligence efforts for Amazon web services, including the Lex deep learning technology that powers Alexa.
Additional highlights from Sage Summit U.S. include:
- Olympic gold medalist and notable entrepreneur George Foreman inspired the audience with a personal story of grit and perseverance, discussing the lessons he learned from his journey from heavyweight champion to global entrepreneur, proving that anything is possible.
- BOTlanta, a bot training camp for entrepreneurs: during this day-long event, Sage challenged entrepreneurs to consider how they can leverage chatbots and voice-activated bots to improve their business. Following a discussion, participants were taught how to create their own bots to help them better operate their businesses. One local entrepreneur developed a bot to instantly manage catering orders for a local bakery.
- Sage Foundation's "Big Give" expanded on Sage's global efforts to give back to its local communities, awarding a total of $30,000 to the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta and Georgia Tech to develop a program to promote STEM subjects among young girls.
Sage Summit U.S. 2017 is the 8th event in a global series that has engaged thousands of entrepreneurs and business leaders from London to Paris, Madrid, Singapore, Melbourne, Berlin and Johannesburg. The next Sage Summit will take place in Toronto, Ontario, on June 27-28, 2017. Sage Summit US 2017 is supported by Microsoft and American Express as diamond sponsors and Kimble as a platinum sponsor, amongst others.

DIY – Not the Must Have Toy of Christmas 2009
Yes, I made the Caroler Tissue Cover, and yes, she looks absolutely nothing like the original.
And yes, that IS a giant blue humpbacked anglerfish beside her. But I can assure you Mr. Fishy Fangs is not trying to eat her. He just wants to give her a kiss under his spiky blue mistletoe.
Because even fishies can get into the Christmas spirit!
For the rest of my explanation (and assorted excuses):
The first challenge of this pattern was the complete absence of reasonably priced 8'' dolls. Eight inches may have been the standard back in 1980, but these days, bigger is better and 11 1/2 inches is the norm. Or so my husband assures me.
All I could find were ridiculously expensive Madame Alexander Dolls...
...and the somewhat more reasonably priced Disney Fairies.
However, Silvermist's wings would get in the way of donning her gay apparel, so I opted for what was behind door number three – one of my daughter's old Barbies.
After all, what's a mere three and a half inches difference in height? All I had to do was increase the length and width of her bodice to accommodate her larger... erm, Christmas ornaments.
On the plus side, Barbie's legs are so long she can hide TWO extra-large rolls of toilet paper under her dress!
Speaking of Barbie's dress, I completely misread the Crochet World's instructions. Instead of doing 4 dc, ch 2, 4 dc, for a total of 8 dc in each ch 5 space, I only crocheted four dcs in each space. But, I think the lacy look is quite attractive!
Besides, she does have her crocheted panties to preserve her modesty.
Insofar as a combination granny-panty and thong can preserve anyone's modesty.
That's Mr. Fishy Fangs in the background shrieking, "For the love of Neptune, pull down your dress!" He's seriously reconsidering kissing her, now that she's flashed her naughty red undies at everyone. Which, by the way are made of Red Heart Supersaver, guaranteeing fashion and comfort. Not.
Barbie's dress is made of Bernat's Happy Holidays Green Sparkle (yes, the same stuff I used to make my Not-Christmas Afghan. Not only is the trim not mohair, it's about the furthest thing from mohair you could possibly imagine. It's a ball of mystery fiber made in China called "Fancy Knitting Yarn" which I found in a discount store for a dollar.
A scrap of red ribbon, some plastic berries and part of a French Christmas card provided the finishing touches. Mais oui, this Barbie is bilingual. I used a bit of elastic to attach the card to her hands, which will hopefully discourage any more spontaneous Can-Can performances.
Barbie's hat is not pulled down over her face because she's ashamed of her underwear flashing antics. No, my son yanked it down because he didn't like the way that brazen hussy stared at him when he tried to use the bathroom.
After mocking my son (gently, of course), I fixed her hat. But the next time I walked into the bathroom, I found her posed like this:
I decided to leave her that way. Clearly, twelve year old boys need to have their modesty respected.
Besides, I wouldn't want him to resort to extreme measures to regain privacy in the privy.

Funny, Funny, Funny! Now I think she needs a little sister LOL ummm..maybe in reds with green undies..Hey did you make her something to hold the ornaments up?? This is great I love it <3ReplyDelete
Barbie's ornaments hold themselves up. That's one of the advantages of being entirely made of plastic - no need for support! ;-)ReplyDelete

Terror funding report: Calls grow for release of 'sensitive' Home Office document 'pointing finger at Saudi Arabia'

Jeremy Corbyn and Tim Farron among voices urging prime minister to publish delayed inquiry thought to target major UK weapons buyer following latest terror attack on British soil

* * * The leaders of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats have urged Prime Minister Theresa May to allow the publication of a "sensitive" government report into terror funding in the UK which allegedly focuses on the role of Saudi Arabia.
Calls for the release of the Home Office inquiry into the sources of jihadi propaganda materials and funding are growing more vocal after Saturday's terror attack in London Bridge, in which seven people were killed.
Isis, which espouses an extremist version of the puritanical Sunni Wahabism practised in Saudi Arabia, claimed responsibility for the incident, the third terror attack on British soil in less than three months.
Speaking in Carlisle on Sunday evening, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn echoed Ms May's comments that the UK needs to "have some difficult conversations" - adding that they need to start with "Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that have funded and fuelled extremist ideology."
"It is no good Theresa May suppressing a report into the foreign funding of extremist groups. We have to get serious about cutting off the funding to these terror networks, including Isis here and in the Middle East."
Writing in The Guardian on Monday, the Liberal Democrat leader also called for the report's release.
"Theresa May now has a choice. Does she publish that report or keep it hidden?" Mr Farron said.
"May talks of the need to have some difficult and sometimes embarrassing conversations. That should include exposing and rooting out the source funding of terror, even it means difficult and embarrassing conversations with those like Saudi Arabia that the Government claims are our allies."
The Conservative Government has been repeatedly criticised for increased arms sales to Riyadh, the top destination for UK-made weapons: recent British arms export licences sold to the Gulf state exceed £3.5bn. Critics say those weapons are fuelling conflict and extremism across the Middle East, including in Yemen.
The inquiry was commissioned by David Cameron at the insistence of the Liberal Democrats in exchange for their support of extending UK air strikes against Isis into Syria in December 2015.
It was supposed to be published by spring 2016 – but it is still incomplete and may never see the light of day due to its "sensitive" content, a Home Office source told The Guardian last month.
Talking about the delayed report on Radio 4's Today programme on Monday, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said that to suggest "[the Government] is not taking terrorist financing seriously is ridiculous."
When asked whether the British people have a right to know whether the report "points the finger" at Riyadh, Ms Bradley responded that the UK must "work with our partners and our allies" and that "we save far more lives by working together."
Earlier in the programme, Hannah Stewart, co-head of the security and extremism unit at think tank Policy Exchange, also called on the authorities to release the overdue inquiry.
Over the years literature considered "intolerant at least and in some cases extremist" had been found in British mosques which could be directly traced back to Saudi publishers, she said.
"The Saudi regime has one of the most appalling human rights records in the world. If it has played any role in funding or fuelling terrorism or violent groups then we must know. The report must be published, no matter who it is embarrassing for," Andrew Smith of the Campaign Against Arms Trade told The Independent.
"Regardless of who is elected on Thursday, if the UK is to play a positive role in the Middle East, then it must finally stop arming and supporting brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia."
The Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats suspended election campaigning on Sunday in the wake of the latest terror attack.
On Monday morning Ms May said it had been "right to pause" out of respect for the victims. Full campaigning is expected to resume later on Monday, with the general election just three days away.
Already a major election topic, the authorities' ability to deal with terror threats has become one of the driving issues of the 2017 campaign after the recent deaths of 34 civilians in incidents in Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge.

Beef and Brown Rice Chili Recipe
Recipe by Lindsay Hunt
This is a hearty stew, great for a mid-week meal.
Buy good-quality grass-fed beef if you can, it's worth it in this stew that features five equally prominent ingredients. Bitter Lacinato Kale works well with the rich beef and saucy tomatoes, but Swiss Chard or Broccoli Rabe would work equally well. (Make sure to saute the Broccoli Rabe first, though.)
Cook the rice ahead of time to use for various mid-week meals, or cook some extra for this dish and keep a cup or two around to pair with roasted vegetables for a last minute meal.
Prep Details
Servings: 4-6
Salt, for seasoning beef, and to taste
1 lb ground beef, divided into 1/2- to 1-inch portions
3 tbsp canola oil
One 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
4 cups cooked brown riceor Wehani rice
1 bunch Lacinato Kale, cut into 1-inch pieces
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Optional seasonings: bay leaf, coriander, cayenne
1. Heat a large saute pan or pot over medium-high heat. Season the beef generously with salt. Add the canola oil and heat through. Add the beef to the pan and sear it, letting the meat brown well. Stir to caramelize all the sides of the beef. (At this point add the optional seasonings.)
2. Add the tomatoes and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the rice and kale and fold into the tomato and ground beef mixture. Heat through until the kale is wilted and the rice is hot.
3. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.
