Whalen Properties is hoping to buy land from the Spring Grove State Hospital in Catonsville in order to build a shopping center, which will be called the Catonsville Promenade. As a lifelong Catonsville resident enamored with the neighborhood's small town feel, I was naturally suspicious of any sort of large scale development that could potentially change the face of the town. And I am not alone—"PromeNOT" signs can be found on many many lawns across Catonsville.
Catonsville's Laura LeMire is involved with the group Catonsville Voices, which is spearheading the opposition to the development of the Promenade. The biggest concern that LeMire cites is traffic. "The beltway will be backed up, which will impact the community," she says. "Traffic will overflow onto Frederick Road, Edmondson Avenue, Wilkens Avenue, and Rolling Road." Although Whalen Properties promises that the traffic issues will be dealt with, LeMire has a hard time believing it.
Steve Whalen explains that he doesn't want to create a mall that "feels just like every other mall in the country." He says there will be a mix of bigger chains and smaller retail shops and restaurants—the big chains will be needed to pay the higher rent, but there will be an effort to get unique shops as well.
A 20-year Catonsville resident who preferred to be known only as Mr. Rich is wary of this plan. "Who needs another Target?" he asks. "We don't want the mainstream restaurants and shops in our neighborhood. That's just not Catonsville." Rich would prefer to see the business district along Frederick Road improved, and is worried that the Promenade would take away from these local businesses.
Many of Frederick Road's business owners refused to comment on the Promenade, but Sean Dunworth of the Catonsville Gourmet Restaurant said that the creation of the Promenade might actually bring more business to Frederick Road, and that, in general, he supports many of the things that Whalen has proposed. "A compromised version of the plan would be terrific," he says. "Whalen would have to work with the community, but in general this Promenade could be a good thing."
Whalen is certainly doing his research on the project. He has travelled all over the country visiting shopping malls that are attractive additions to communities, citing the Parole Towne Center in Annapolis and Santana Row in San Jose as examples. And he too is a lifetime Catonsville resident—he says he has the community's best interests at heart. He wants to "enable residents to do everything from eating to shopping right in the community."
It seems, however, that Whalen will have to do a lot of convincing to assure the community that Catonsville won't lose its feel. "I'm nervous about it too," says Whalen. "It's a big undertaking and we have one chance to do it right. That's why you hire the best people to work on the project so that the job can be done well."
Still the question remains: Do we really need it?

A slight dilemma can someone advise on a dua?
Mar 05, 2010 05:11 PM »
I have a question (which is a dilemma) which I hope Inshallah someone can advise on.
Nearly 3 years ago I was Mashallah running my own business, which started doing really well. Then, the recession thing started bubbling up and unfortunately I had no option but to close my business and look for a job :'(
I felt very lucky (by the grace of Allah) to find a job that fitted in with our beliefs-I was working with women and children helping them get the most out of services, working with them on courses, informing them of benefit entitlements etc. Mashallah I'd say the job was Shariah friendly, and is with the government.
About 3 months ago our bosses made the shocking announcement that as they felt my job hadn't reached it's full potential they wanted to expand the role by getting me to work with men
even though to this date that never happend but the bosses say that it's about improving government figures for when the new government takes over so funding doesn't get completly axed.
I've checked in my job description and with the union and they can do this-it's not illegal etc etc.
I am trying to be a good Muslimah, and I really do not wish to work in an environment or with men as of course it would not be right.
I wish to start up my business again so that I can leave the job before the work starts with men. I know the change is coming and I've been looking for jobs but unfortunately I cannot find something that fits in with working with women and children only. I am educated, and have looked at jobs far away and would be willing to commute an hour either way for work but have not found anything yet.
To cut the story short there, can anyone suggest Surahs/Duas/Suppliments I can read for Rizq in my business?
Sorry to waffle on, I've been quite worried about the situation and thought someone might be able to educate me by informing me of what to read for this dilemma. I know nothing is ever built in a day that is worth having however I wish to start the business the best way possible.
I am Mashallah married, however due to the illness of a senior in our family I am unable to leave work completely.

I'm going out on a limb here, but could you not work in the new role and see how you cope?
Could you not work with men and behave in a professional business like manner, and maintain your hijab?
It's not possible to work in utter isolation or just with women and children, sometimes men cross our paths and we can work with it, working with men and socialising with non mahrams are two different things.
I'm not judging, just suggesting, as you sound like you need a job, and really it is very difficult to find a job where you never come into contact with men ever!
Or you could try being a childminder at your house, but you might ocassionally have mindees being dropped off or picked up by their dads.
I really can't think of a single job where you could avoid men at all times.

thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions, and the responses have been noted as possible options.
The sector I work in may mean that a high percentage of men I work with may have 'issues' such as domestic violence, drug or alcohol issues making the situation slightly uncomfortable for me too, as we are expected to earn the trust of people and form friendships ith them. I will be expected to work on a one-to-one basis with a lot of them. I will however, as you suggest give it a go.
As for hijab-there is talks of making all the staff look 'more approachable' so I have a funny feeling hijab may come into question. I've been told that I will have the option of tying hair back, and cover with a scarf should this issue arise.
I agree, it is hard to find a job with no contact with men-however the job I am currently doing was that. Having the odd contact is unavoidable however working with them on a one-to-one basis if I'm honest I find scary.
The issue of avoiding men is why I wish to start my own business up again as this would be an ideal option-yes I know the timing isn't perfect thus I am praying really hard for success in it and that's why I wanted to know if anyone could suggest any duas.
I previously searched duas onlin and found Mashallah loads-later I was told by an Alimah the duas I had found were actually Shia duas. After that I try to get recommendations off people, and try my upmost to find out sources, hence why I posted on here as I know there are loads of members who know their 'stuff' on here.
Thank you once again for advice.

The following may be helpful:
..and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will make for him an outlet,
And give him sustenance from whence he thinks not; and whoever trusts in Allah, He is sufficient for him
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah 's Apostle [saw]said,
"Whoever loves that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be prolonged then he should keep good relations with his kith and kin"

(This is how close you are to the 'scenery' from the balcony of your room at the Cannery Pier Hotel!) The above title isn't as famous as The Kinks' 'Victoria' but it sounds similar and there really should be a song about one of my favorite areas in the entire state of Oregon. It's not fancy-pants like some other places along the coast but it's the real deal if you're looking for a quick day or two 'getaway' from the Portland area! If you want the beach with those picaresque waves I'd suggest somewhere else. Same goes for those fancy boutique stores with overpriced wares (can't you find those in the city?). However, if you want something truly unique with a sense of 'real' community then you need to spend at least 24 hours in Astoria just as I did recently. Just a little over an hour away from the Portland metropolitan area out Highway 26 (a bit longer if you stop at the Goodwill just outside of town to buy cassettes!) and North of Seaside up Highway 101 lies Astoria. The heart of Astoria isn't on but near the coast along the mouth of the Columbia River. A map view before you get going will help get your bearings! There are a few great places to stay in Astoria but none match the Cannery Pier Hotel which is actually an old fish cannery along the docks that has become a boutique hotel. Rooms include a giant clawfoot tub, wi-fi, a cozy fireplace and views like no other hotel in town. Where else can you wake up, slide open your patio door and watch enormous ships enveloped by a foggy sky (it's November!) as they travel silently underneath a bridge that separates Oregon from Washington? You can also enjoy their 'reception' every evening (free wine and treats!), fresh baked chocolate chip cookies at night and even get a 'taxi' to/from town (3-5 min) in one of their vintage automobiles! When booking ask for Donna Quinn (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Kathleen Sullivan (firstname.lastname@example.com) and tell them I sent you. They're both 'rock stars' and will do their best to hook you up! Below are some photos and captions from my recent 24 hour 'getaway' to Astoria with more to follow! Enjoy!
(The vintage 'taxi cabs' that await you and the lobby at the amazing Cannery Pier Hotel)
(Mary Todd's Workers Bar! Great burger and good bar trivia!) Astoria is brewing with some amazing new coffee joints plus a historic theater!
Like the name of this locally owned spot!

Is the HCG Diet and Alcohol Allowed?
While on the HCG diet, alcohol is prohibited. The reason being is because it will slow your loss or actually cause you to gain weight. Alcohol can contain sugars and starches, which will have adverse reactions to your weight loss. Your HCG has had a few clients that had to entertain business clients or went on a vacation, where they followed the very low calorie diet, and mixed the HCG diet and alcohol. They noticed that their weight loss did stall for at least 3 days, and some even reported a gain in their weight.
HCG Diet and Alcohol Dangers
While there aren't any immediate dangers combining the HCG diet and alcohol, it can set you back quite a bit when trying to reach your weight loss goal. Dr. Simeons does mention alcohol in his manuscript, Pounds and Inches, 'If no carbohydrates whatsoever are eaten, fats can be indulged in somewhat more liberally and even small quantities of alcohol, such as a glass of wine with meals, does no harm, but as soon as fats and starch are combined things are very liable to get out of hand. This has to be observed very carefully during the first 3 weeks after the treatment is ended otherwise disappointments are almost sure to occur.'
HCG Diet and Alcohol Risks
While on the HCG diet, if you consume alcohol, expect either a stall for 3-6 days in your weight loss or even a possible gain. The best thing to do is stick with the diet to ensure your HCG weight loss continues. It's best to wait until the second part of maintenance before re-introducing alcohol into your diet. This will help give you the best weight loss possible while on the HCG diet.
Have you mixed the two on your HCG diet? If so, what was your experience by combining the HCG diet and alcohol?

25 Responses to "HCG Diet and Alcohol"
Hi , I have a vacation coming up next weekend and Im only on day three of the diet as of today 01/20/2011. I know that there will be drinking involved. I normally have just a few light beers. If I stick to the rest og the diet , i.e. 500 calories per day (other than a few beers) will I be ok ?
i will be traveling to las vegas during phase 3 of my HCG diet, will drinking a few vodka-waters ruin my progress if i stick to the diet?
DON'T DO IT!!! I cheated and had a few beers one night after being on the vlcd for a week and I, almost immediately, got the worst headache ever! Not a normal beer side effect for me, btw. All the advil, tylenol, aspirin in the world didn't even soothe the ache and it lasted for 24 hours. SO not worth it- my weight loss stalled for 3 days, even a tad bit of gain. I say again, don't do it. The beer will taste better when you're skinny.
It depends on the individual i guess. I was on day 5 of the days and i had to entertain some business friends. I had 5 pints of beer, 3 scotch, 3 glasses of wine, breaded pork with mashed pototoes, french bread with pate and I still lost 2 pounds the next morning and continue to lose weight
I knew that abstaining from alcohol would be nearly impossible when I was on the diet last summer. I switched from vodka cranberry or vodka sprite to a vodka soda with lemon. It was the only alcohol that I allowed myself, and because I was still getting used to the lack of sugar I only had two or three the whole night.
Be aware however: Whether you sneak a few drinks while on the diet or abstain completely, your tolerance will be significantly lower once you add alcohol back into your diet. I got hammered my first time off the wagon because my body weight was so much lower and I hadn't had a heavy night of drinking in 2 months.
I had a glass of red dry wine a few times during the 21 days, and it didn't affect me much. I also bought my first HCG from CVS, and will tell you not to make that mistake, or waste your money. Then I bought the real thing, and started loosing, even though I used Dr Oz's recommended higher calorie/protein from a recent tabboid. 500 calories a day is just too restrictive for someone who is also hypoglysemic!
I went to a corporate dinner on P2 and ended up drinking Vodkas with a tiny splash of cranberry, eating off protocol, but moderate portions. I stalled of course the next day, so I did an apple day after that, and lost 5lbs the following morning! I haven't drank since, but I have stalled again since then for two days. I wonder if the vodka helped me? It was the biggest weight loss on the whole diet in 1 day, and I was on week 2! Hmmm..
Can I have alcohol during the first two days? The loading up days?
Can I have my glass of wine at night if I deduct the 120 calories from my daily allotment and only eat 380?
i will be starting the hcg tomorrow being mindful going into the weekend. Like most people in alaska, you take advantage of the summy days, and drinking is often involved. I was told that if I am going to drink, I should have gin and tonic. I've heard of someone doing that before and as long as they didn't eat that night, they didn't lose the following day, but didn't gain. the following day, things went back to normal.
Does anyone have a good schedule for taking the drops in a day? Time in between etc? Also I understand no food for 30min, but what about water? I have searched every word of the website and found answers to my questions! Also, are fresh garlic and onion allowed to flavor meals?
Anne -
I am entering my last week on the 43day P2 and I have only lost 20 lbs. I really expected to lose around 30. I stalled a lot of days through out the program. This week I've been really great and I have only lost 1 lb. From all the recommended foods what do you suggest I eat this last week to see a more significant loss?
How about having a couple glasses of wine with dinner during P3? How would that affect my stabilization?
Hi! I was doing some more research today on hcg and I realized I was suppose to take the drops when I was in the loading phase. Today is my fourth day, so I wanted to know should I wait a week and start over and do it the right way?
Should drops be taken when you know you are going to have a splurge weekend (Ex. Super Bowl)? I will be drinking but am going to stay away from most food type carbs since beer is going to be consumed. Also, would steak day on Monday the day after Super Bowl help me get back on track?
Didn't answer question. Going to stray is not an option. It is going to happen. Thanks for advice anyway.

Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams® -- 16 oz
Fantastic flavor
Chocolate & creamy peanut butter rolled into one! It is like having a Reese's peanut butter cup with each spoonful. I have given up the other favors & only eat this one.
June 19, 2013
This PB&CO chocolate peanut butter fills the spot when craving dessert. I love using a tablespoon as a crepe filling and find it satisfying.

February 4, 2013
This stuff is addicting. Peanut Butter usually gives me a tummy ache but because it's "natural" I can digest it........and of course the dark chocolate is the bonus. I kinda wish it gave me the dreaded tummy ache! LOL :)

The annual Grand Slam tennis tournament held in leafy Wimbledon, south-west London is known simply as The Championships. It is one of the world's highest-profile sporting events, and a cultural institution since its establishment in 1877.
Business need:
For The Championships' organizer, the All England Club, the ongoing challenge is to keep expanding the tournament's appeal by enhancing the experience for tennis fans. Today, this means delivering rich, engaging content in real time to a huge global audience – and building stronger relationships with fans through social media.
In 2013, IBM analytics capabilities delivered fascinating new analysis and insights direct to viewers via mobile, TV and web, combining detailed match data with sentiment analysis for the first time.
Enhances the experience for fans, deepening their relationship with the tournament through rich interactive media. Provides detailed real-time analysis of match play and in-game trends, feeding global audience's appetite for information. Helps the AELTC understand what its fans are talking about and builds new communities of interest through social media.

Interconnected: Integrates and enriches multiple sources of structured and unstructured data, then distributes information to analytical tools, web sites, mobile apps and global TV broadcasters.
Intelligent: Real-time analysis of match data reveals winning patterns of play; cloud infrastructure uses analytics to predict demand and automatically adjust resources to match.
The annual Grand Slam tennis tournament held in leafy Wimbledon, south-west London is known simply as The Championships. It is one of the world's highest-profile sporting events, and a cultural institution since its establishment in 1877.
The Official Technology Supplier to the AELTC for the past 24 years, IBM is becoming a more and more visible part of the Wimbledon experience as the tournament reaches out to a growing global audience via multiple digital channels. Each year, IBM provides exciting new capabilities in support of the AELTC's goal of delivering "a world-class experience for the digital user that replicates the unforgettable nature of a day at Wimbledon", putting its reputation on the line in a high-pressure environment with the world looking on. In 2013, IBM again showcased its ability to design and deliver a highly complex data-centric solution that delivers tangible benefits and ROI to a high-profile global business for which high quality and innovation are key brand elements.
The rise of mobile and social
As the AELTC works to extend the geographic and demographic appeal of The Championships, the rapid growth in the use of web, mobile and social media technologies offers a golden opportunity to provide more engaging content and to build stronger relationships with a truly global audience. This audience has a growing appetite for more information, delivered more rapidly and through an ever-growing set of platforms.
Mick Desmond, Commercial Director at the AELTC, comments: "We want to deepen our relationship with tennis fans through digital channels, and expand the reach and exposure of our tournament into new geographies and demographics. The shift in the digital landscape has been enormous over the past four or five years, with more and more people now accessing our website on mobile devices – so we need to innovate and ensure that we give fans the information they want, via the channel they prefer."
A key objective for the AELTC is to increase the time people spend watching and talking about the tournament, so as to enhance its profile and reach. The organization is achieving this by feeding their hunger for information and rich media, which depends on harnessing vast quantities of data in real time.
Managing big data at Wimbledon
IBM describes 'big data' in terms of the four 'Vs' – volume, variety, velocity and veracity – and Wimbledon certainly features all of them. To develop compelling content for its audience, the AELTC needs to discover, gather, process, integrate, understand, enrich and disseminate these volumes of data. Variety stems from the huge number of sources of both structured and unstructured data, including: new on-court player- and ball-tracking radar technologies, current and historical match data, expert human observations, data from fans attending the tournament, match and performance data from other tournaments, and fan-contributed information on social media. Data changes at high velocity, with sub-second updates on a huge number of variables for every point of every match, and with the need to analyze hundreds of tweets about the tournament every second. Finally, tennis fans are highly knowledgeable, so veracity is crucial if the content is to maintain its credibility.
Only a few hundred thousand people can attend The Championships in person each year. To ensure that an estimated 800-million plus people around the globe can enjoy the event, IBM gathers, processes and disseminates real-time data on every point of every match on Wimbledon's 19 courts. In 2013, that meant 101,778 tennis points across 660 matches, corresponding to 852,752 data points. IBM employs and trains a team of 48 statisticians – all of them high-quality tennis players – to provide contextual data that is used to enrich the machine-collected data such as the speed of serve. All of this match data is combined with historical performance data and live data from the web and social networks, and fed into an advanced set of analytical tools that provide real-time insight to sports analysts, TV presenters and the global audience.
Smarter Analytics
At Wimbledon, a key element in creating compelling content is layering analysis on top of both live and historic match information.
IBM Smarter Analytics technology is the beating heart of the analytics capabilities at Wimbledon, powering applications such as IBM SlamTracker™ – a rich and interactive tool that acts as a single source of information about all matches, providing intuitive performance dashboards that allow fans to gain deep insights into the match data. For 2013, IBM refreshed the design of SlamTracker and began pulling in live sentiment analysis from Twitter to show the ebb and flow of support for each player.
Before each match, IBM analyzes historical matches between the players (over eight years of Grand Slam data corresponding to 41 million data points) to identify the 'Keys to the Match', a set of key performance indicators showing what each player needs to do in order to be successful against any specific opponent. During the course of the match, each player is then measured against his or her keys in a series of real-time updates, giving fans a deeper level of insight as the match unfolds.
In a first for 2013, IBM also combined data on player and ball movement with point-outcome data, enriched by court-side observers, using it to generate intuitive 3D graphics for broadcasters.
Only a handful of global businesses have exactly the same requirements as the AELTC, yet millions face the same general challenge of needing to capture, process and analyze huge sets of structured and unstructured data in real time. IBM's analytics solutions at The Championships demonstrate how businesses can generate valuable insights from fast-moving data to better understand their business, their products and solutions, their customers and their competitors.
The mobile experience
As the use of smartphones and tablets continues to grow rapidly, IBM is helping The Championships to keep its mobile content fresh and relevant. Mobile users accounted for 20 percent of the 19.7 million unique visitors to wimbledon.com during the 2013 tournament, and yet were responsible for a massive 55 percent of the 433 million total page views (up from 40 percent in 2012).
For the AELTC, it is crucial to provide the same high-quality brand experience regardless of the channel, so IBM worked closely with the AELTC to tailor the design and content to each type of device based on both the technical characteristics – for example, screen size and resolution – and the typical usage pattern. For example, most smartphone usage is to check headline scores and results when on the move, while tablet users can browse more unique interactive content and delve deeper into the statistics and insights behind a match. The new iPad app for 2013 was designed to supplement and enrich the live action on television, bringing fresh insights and unique content to fans watching at home.
Alexandra Willis, Editorial Content Manager at the AELTC explains, "The idea behind the new iPad app for 2013 was to make it the next best thing to being at Wimbledon. For those who couldn't get to the tournament, we wanted to recreate the beauty and tradition of what The Championships looks and sounds like, as well as creating an immersive second-screen experience that would be relevant to someone watching the live broadcast. With IBM's help, we have been able to target content to different platforms and make it appropriate to the people who use it."
In 2013, The Championships saw almost two million downloads of IBM-developed Wimbledon smartphone and iPad apps, all optimized to deliver the best possible experience, while the mobile variant of Wimbledon.com is designed to deliver the optimal balance between fast performance and a rich user experience.
Naturally, IBM's involvement goes far beyond the design of mobile and web content, to encompass the management, security and analytics around the service provision for this very visible, high-profile channel.
The lesson for other businesses is that mobile is continuing to grow rapidly in importance, and must be treated as a channel in its own right. For business-to-consumer organizations, mobile is increasingly the channel of choice for customer interactions, particular in geographies (for example, Africa) and demographics (the 14-25 age group) where it may be the only telecommunication channel available. To ensure a rich, seamless brand experience, it is vital to understand both the opportunities and the limitations of the mobile channel. IBM has deep, proven experience in building reliable, responsive and secure mobile capabilities that deepen the engagement with customers.
A very social event
Mobile technology increasingly means social technology – many of the heaviest users of social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter interact predominantly via smartphones and tablets rather than conventional computers. For The Championships, the rapid growth of social media represents an unprecedented opportunity to gauge public opinion in real time and to engage with the audience in a direct and interactive way. It also provides an increasing 'buzz' of free publicity and helps extend the tournament's reach to potential new fans that would not otherwise be exposed to it.
To help the AELTC understand what is being said, where and by whom, IBM technology sifts enormous volumes of social media content to identify and analyze relevant content. In 2013, IBM analyzed 6.6 million Wimbledon-related tweets, a 100 percent increase on 2012. At the height of the action during the Men's singles final, 400 tweets per second were analyzed to reveal insights into changing patterns of sentiment among Wimbledon's global audience. This data-driven approach based on semantic analysis enabled IBM to create intuitive visualizations of the social media landscape, providing dynamic heatmaps and trend graphs in real time to broadcasters and the wider public across digital channels. The insights also helped Wimbledon's digital team to tune and tailor their own social channels and content on wimbledon.com
"We want to increase the reach and exposure of The Championships, taking it to new demographics and geographies. Understanding the social impact of the tournament as a whole is vitally important, because it enables us to learn about what fans really think and to start to build a two-way relationship with them," says Mick Desmond. "That in turn will help us to focus and enhance our digital platforms so as to strengthen the tournament in the years to come."
The take-home for other businesses is the need to recognize – and have a strategy to address – the growing importance of the social channel. Some 65 percent of people on Twitter use it to learn more about brands, products and services, and their numbers are swelling rapidly, with one million new accounts added every day in 2012. Social is a golden opportunity to engage in a direct yet mutually convenient and cost-effective way with customers, to understand what they want and what they think about products and solutions, and to create customer advocates who can drive new sales.
Scaling up with cloud
All of IBM's innovation across analytics, mobile and social at The Championships depends on the fast and reliable capture, processing and dissemination of enormous amounts of data. The combination of a dynamic, unpredictable sporting event and a huge global audience across every time zone underlines the need for a reliable, high-performance data-processing and data-serving infrastructure.
For 50 weeks of the year, the AELTC infrastructure supports a level of activity fitting for a mid-size business. However for the two weeks of the tournament itself, the same infrastructure must support astronomical levels of interest while delivering score updates globally within half a second of each point played on court.
This presents a conundrum: how to ensure sufficient capacity to deal with the peaks without over-spending during the troughs. Equally, as systems are increasingly opened up to unknown numbers of users via the web and on mobile devices, how can the organization predict changing patterns of demand and ensure that the right resources are available?
IBM's answer is SmartCloud: a fully virtualized, secure and highly flexible set of computing resources that can seamlessly and automatically rise and fall in line with changing patterns of demand. Rather than invest in permanent capacity, IBM uses its SmartCloud to access only the resources it actually needs at any given time.
The IBM SmartCloud infrastructure that runs wimbledon.com requires just four minutes to dynamically provision new services in response to emerging demands, and IBM is constantly enhancing its ability to match resources to peaks in demand. In 2013, this included the analysis of data from multiple sources – including social media sentiment data – to anticipate peaks in demand and pre-provision new computing resources accordingly.
This intelligent, dynamic infrastructure helps the AELTC grow rapidly without a corresponding increase in costs. Since 2008, the organization has seen the number of web users rise by 45 percent, but the cost per user has fallen by 35 percent. Likewise, page views are up by 42 percent, yet the price per page view is down by 34 percent.
All businesses today face the challenge of achieving more with restricted IT budgets. Driven in part by the growth of mobile and social, trends now come and go faster. This means that businesses need to sharpen their responses accordingly if they are to capitalize on opportunities and ward off competitive threats from smaller and more nimble competitors. IBM SmartCloud provides the optimal combination of rapid response to new business requirements, resilience, performance, security, flexibility and cost-efficiency.
With key input from IBM, in 2013 The Championships set records and broke new ground in a number of areas:
- 19.7 million unique users of Wimbledon digital platforms.
- 433 million page views serving up a total of 155 TB of data – equivalent to over 35 years' worth of CD-quality audio recording.
- 55 percent of views on wimbledon.com came from mobile devices, up from 40 percent in 2012.
- Mobile users represented 20 percent of the total user base yet drove 55 percent of page views.
- Fans downloaded 1,954,862 IBM-developed Wimbledon apps for smartphones and tablets.
- Content incorporated fan sentiment analysis for the first time, strengthening the emotional connection between the tournament and its audience.
- More detailed and comprehensive analysis of current and past data enabled the creation of more interesting and engaging content.
