Melinis nerviglumis
Natal Ruby Grass
Poaceae (Gramineae)
Ornamental grasses and grasslike plants
This short-lived African native grass has narrow blue-green leaves that are first erect, then arching, forming clumps to 1 ft. high and slightly wider. From these rise 2-ft. flower spikes that open deep pink to purplish red and gradually fade to light pinkish tan. It can reseed, and plants may live over from year to year. In cold regions, treat as an annual; or pot up divisions and protect them during winter. In the tropics, it becomes a harmless weed. But in parts of the Southwest deserts, it is invasive enough to avoid. Formerly known as Rhynchelytrum nerviglume. A strain of this species introduced by the Denver Botanic Gardens is sold as 'Pink Crystals'. It blooms in late summer and has survived winters in Pueblo, Colorado.

While the wood ticks took their time coming out this year (due probably to the cool Spring we had), they are making up for it! How do I get rid or atleast lessen the quantity of these things? Someone told me that you can spread lime on your lawn. Does anyone know if that helps? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ticks, like many other arthropods, need a moist environment to live and grow in so keeping the areas around the house dry is one step. Insecticides containing pyrethrins cna help but that material is a broad spectrum poison that kills every insect, including the beneficials, it contacts. While I have seen some comments that lime might help nothing from any university indicates it does. |

New Arrivals - Literature
Something's in the air this holiday season, and it could be the beginning of a wonderful Christmas romance...
One hot Scot: "Duncan Lenox lives surrounded by enemies, a MacLawry in a land of Campbells. But when an English beauty has nowhere else to turn, he feels obligated to help. Now that they must spend a night together in an abandoned cottage while a storm rages on, will their mutual passion save--or doom--them both?"
"In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity-and a play that compresses epic extremems of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room."--Cover.
A collection of seven short stories celebrates dangerous women, both heroines and villains, and includes contributions by Lev Grossman, Sharon Kay Penman, and Diana Gabaldon.
""What are my qualifications to write this book? None really. So why should you read it? Here's why: I'm a little fat. If a thin guy were to write about a love of food and eating I'd highly recommend that you do not read his book." Bacon. McDonald's. Cinnabon. Hot Pockets. Kale. Stand-up comedian and author Jim Gaffigan has made his career rhapsodizing over the most treasured dishes of the American diet ("choking on bacon is like getting murdered by your lover") and decrying the worst offenders"-- Provided by publisher.
Presents twenty of the best works of short fiction of the past year from a variety of acclaimed sources.
Compiles the best literary essays of the year 2013 which were originally published in American periodicals.
Presents a selection of short works from mainstream and alternative American periodicals published in 2013, including nonfiction, screenplays, television writing, fiction, and alternative comics.
Journeys into the world of lesbian sex with uncommon, edgy stories that push lust and desire to new heights.
Collects the best of the author's essays from five decades of the "Irish Times" to reflect a changing culture as well as her observations on such topics as the royal wedding, waitressing, and boring airline companions.
A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural observers of her generation.
A collection of stories about humanity's oldest supernatural obsession: ghosts. The Phantom Coach gathers memorable ghost tales from the Victorian era from Charles Dickens and Edith Wharton to Henry James, Thomas Hardy, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Features an introduction to the genre and notes on each story.
"Packed with new photos and more demotivational messages than you can roll your eyes at, 'The grumpy guide to life' will help you get in touch with your inner grouch."--From publisher description.
American novelist Joan Didion's first volume of nonfiction essays, first published in 1968, consisting of twenty works that reflect the atmosphere in America during the 1960s, especially in the center of its counterculture, California.
What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey? Shares a meal? Get drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface -- a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character - and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you. In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths, and to discover a world where a road leads to a quest a shared meal may signify a communion and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just rain. Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, How to Read Literature Like a Professor is the perfect companion for making your reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.

Welcome to No BullWhip!
Tuesday, April 06, 2010
The commonly known BullWhip Effect in a forecast driven supply chain is caused by variations in demand driving greater buffer stock as we move up the supply chain. The amplification of supply is also referred to as a "butterfly effect". The root causes stem from behavioral and operational miscues due to a lack of collaboration and information about products and processes across the supply chain. In order to eliminate the BullWhip Effect, we need to create a Predictable Supply Network which will enable rapid communication and coordination across the supply chain.
This is an opportunity for us to share and learn within the industry as we create a Predictable Supply Network. Working with you we will transform the supply chain into a network of highly-integrated partners executing shared business processes and collaborating continuously to achieve greater levels of business performance. We can build the network ten times faster and at one-tenth the cost of current solutions.
In order to meet these objectives we need to not only apply our knowledge of supply chain processes and information, but we also need to learn from other solution providers that transformed their industries. Here we will discuss and apply lessons from Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn combined with in-depth analysis of challenges in distribution, manufacturing and outsourcing. Individual contributors, executive managers and business leaders will be able to understand, challenge and propose ideas that change the way we think about solving supply chain problems of excess inventory, long cycle-times, limited capacity, consumer safety, product security, forecast accuracy and overall lack of visibility.
Together we will transform the supply chain. No BullWhip!

We are considering purchasing a patio umbrella mosquito netting that fits over a market style patio table umbrella. This system has a bottom with Built-in Water or Sand Fillable Tube that Keeps the bottom of the screen taut and helps keep the wind from blowing the screen all over. We have read that some of these tubes leak getting sand or water all over. Does anyone have one of these and have you found another solution to keep the bottom down.
Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can't you just stable/attach the netting to say, 1x1 baluster material or something like that? |
We bought an oval table 60" x 38" , now what size umbrella should I buy..Went shopping and there are mostly 9' and 10' ones out there - is that too big? We threw out our old dilapidated umbrella out last fall - it may have been 7 or 8 feet really don't remember but I dont have anything to compare on this new table. Chris |

Is anyone coming to the Island Plumeria Open House Sale on Saturday, Sept. 28? It's in Northridge, in the San Fernando Valley (Southern California). It would be great to finally meet some of the people on this board. There will be 15% off all the plumeria for sale. Plus, this year, Matthew will also have some stock of Jungle Jack varieties! If anyone is interested, this is a great way to meet and also get some great plumeria for an excellent price. It took me 4.5 hours last year to decide what to get. This year I'm putting together a list so the Northridge police don't have to escort me out as midnight approaches and I'm still looking and smelling down all the aisles! Also got to meet toomanydogs last year. Hope to meet more people this year. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Simidude...are you the one that knows Gordon Johnson here in Ventura and bought some Moragnes from him a few weeks ago? he and his wife are coming to the luau next Sat. I want to get to Matthews (he was here last year) But that is our son's B day and not sure yet if we have to go out of town yet. aloha, roxanne |
Roxanne, Yes, in fact, I just saw Gordon and his wife today, and he mentioned that they were going to the luau! |
So, can you come or are you taking Mom to Vegas? |
Roxanne, I would love to come. |

Can't wait for Island Plumeria's Open House! We will be in line waiting for it to open. His plants are so healthy and happy. Nothing like his Rainbow 36, what a great flower. We'll be seeing you there and if you need to be dragged away again we will be glad to assist. |
simi...sent you an e-mail on the luau... |

Too bad it's so late in the year... I'd rather have new plumies starting next spring. But I hope you will post pics here. :) Mima |
Sale hours are 8-4. |
If I am here I am in....rox |
So who's going? Two days left before sale! |
- Posted by toomanydogs none (My Page) on Thu, Sep 26, 13 at 22:33
See you there when it opens even though it means leaving home at 6:00 in the morning! |
HHHHMMMM......it is our son's B day and my husband forbids 1 more tree in the yard for now....DARN! roxanne |
Have fun and post pictures. |
Will do, kms2! Roxanne, we'll miss you, but let me know if there's anything you'd like me to look for for you. Allison, that's early. Why can't these things start at noon? Hopefully Ill be awake enough to make good decisions! |
SIMI...If there is a blooming Mary Helen Eggenberger...OR a blooming something else that smells to die for....I would come and pick up on Monday. Do you ned some more Crocosmia bulbs? Mahalos, roxanne |
I plan to make it over there some time today. Either around 11 AM (without the kids) or around 3 PM (with the kids). I know bringing the kids may be dangerous but I live on the edge :-) Plus, they are already plumeria lovers and asked me if I could bring home some blooms, so why not bring them and have them pick one. That way the wife can't tell me not to pick one out! Cheers! |
I took a number of pics at the open house, will post tomorrow. Couldn't help posting a pic of toomanydog's new Gold Coast Peachy's gigantic inflo: And someone got this very fragrant Rainbow 40 |
I didn't mean to suggest that the Gold Coast Peachy didn't also smell amazing! |
- Posted by toomanydogs none (My Page) on Sun, Sep 29, 13 at 8:52
Great pictures, George! Thanks for babysitting my Gold Coast Peachy for me. Sorry we missed seeing you there, Dan. There were so many beautiful plants it was hard to stop. |
and the fragrant rainbow #40 goes tooooooooo....yah hoo....roxanne...pick up tomorrow George...mahalos, roxane |
Yep, Enablers Circle well established in the Ventura/Simi area. :) |
Matthew has quite a collection, but I managed to come home with these two beauty's! The first one is a Rainbow 36 and the second one is a Malia. They both have a nice green color and and appear to be quick growers. The Rainbow 36 has a huge inflow, about to bloom, so I'm hoping I'll get one last flourish of color before it get's too cold. toomanydogs - I'm sorry I didn't get to see yesterday, but I did see your plumies and they look great! If you keep this up, you'll have to change your user name to 'toomanyplumeria' :-) roxane - You're amazing. You don't even go but still end up coming home with something! George - Good to see you again and thanks for you're help. I think there's a plumeria delivery business in your future! |
Great pic, Dan! |
Roxanne, here's another pic of your beautiful plumie Here's another pic of Allison's *toomanyplumeria" (thanks, Dan!) Gold Coast Peachy And here's a travel size version of Gold Coast Peachy that someone else on this list ordered! Pics of the sale - first is Matthew the owner in front of his huge greenhouse It's pretty big Happy plumeria shoppers and lots of plants Rainbow 36 Key West Red I almost got this Musk Rainbow, but my wallet was depleted by this point! I did get this old school classic, Lei Rainbow, couldn't help myself Can't remember the name of this one, I think it was just a white pink rainbow Here are a few more I believe this was an Amarron's Curly White seedling Magnum Opus It was a really good sale, lots of fun. I also picked up a Thai Orange. No inflo, but I should have taken a pic of the mother tree. I did find a pic at FloridaColors.com - this is their pic, not mine, as they sell cuttings of this beauty. Florida Colors pic: This was a beauty. Couldn't decide between Thai Orange and Lei Rainbow, so I got both. But that's all I got for me, which was truly an exercise in discipline! |
cute kid Dan...wished I could have gone and I know I would not have limited myself to just the 1.... Glad it all worked out Matthew. alohas, roxanne |
Jandey, how big will the enabler's circle be if we become sister society with Texas! Let alone Virginia!! |
Thanks for taking the time to share the pics with us. We have to live through your eyes. Good Job! Peg |
thankyou SIMI for getting this great Yellow/Rainbow #40 for me. It is now down under the deck space with a smile on it's face. roxanne |
Oh, wow, how did I miss this place last year? Looks fantastic! George, I wish I'd known you wanted Lei Rainbow--we could've picked up a cutting on Kauai for you. That pink/white rainbow just under LR is gorgeous! And the star-shaped dark pink beneath that, too. Dan, that's a great shot of your plumeria helper! Sounds like you all had a very good day, even those who couldn't make it. |
Jandey, I love Lei Rainbow, I should have told you before you went. Feel free to use this as an excuse to go back! Lol. Given all the nice plumeria there, I was really disciplined. |

For about a 1% investment of the Federal budget, the State Department yields a large return for the American people by advancing U.S. national security, promoting our economic interests, providing services, and reaffirming our country's exceptional role in the world.

Third quarter: Oregon 39, California 3
What happened: Ed Dickson scored two more touchdowns and reached 11 receptions, tying the UO single-game record for a tight end set by Josh Wilcox in the 1995 Rose Bowl.
The big play: On third-and-six from the Cal 36, Dickson snared a pass thrown slightly high and broke into open field for his third touchdown of the day.
Momentum swing: Cal opened the period with a 50-yard pass play but then threw four straight incompletions, and Oregon drove to its first touchdown of the half.
Beyond the boxscore: Dickson set career highs for single-game receptions and yardage on the Ducks' first possession of the quarter.
UO—Dickson 9 pass from Masoli (Flint kick), 9:05. Drive: 12 plays, 70 yards, 5:19.
UO—Dickson 36 pass from Masoli (Flint kick), 2:06. Drive: 12 plays, 96 yards, 5:46.

Survey: Few CEOs plan to hire in next 6 mos.
WASHINGTON (AP) – More of America's largest companies will shrink their staffs than will hire in the next six months, according to the latest survey of their CEOs.
A quarterly survey from the Business Roundtable released Tuesday found that 19 percent of the CEOs expect to expand their workforces, while 31 percent predict a decrease in the next six months. That's slightly better than the 13 percent who expected increased hiring three months earlier. At that time, 40 percent forecast cuts.
The CEOs also expect the overall U.S. economy to grow by 1.9 percent in 2010. That would mark a slowdown from the 2.8 percent pace in the third quarter of 2009. Last quarter's growth followed four straight quarterly declines and was the strongest signal that a recovery from the recession had started.
In more positive news, the group's economic outlook index – a combination of expectations for spending, sales and hiring – rose to 71.5, from 44.9 in the third quarter. Numbers above 50 represent economic growth. It was the first time the index rose above 50 since the third quarter of 2008. That survey did not reflect the sharp contraction that hit the economy in the six months that followed.
The number of CEOs expecting to increase capital spending nearly doubled, to 40 from 21 percent. The number forecasting an increase in sales grew to 68 from 51 percent.
A new question on the survey asked CEOs to identify their greatest cost pressures. The largest group – about one-third – cited health care.
The Roundtable has emerged as an aggressive voice in the debate over the Obama administration's overhaul of the health care system. The group has applauded some measures it says would keep costs down. But it has criticized provisions like a government-run plan for those who can't get other insurance.
"The economy is in the throes of a long transition back to health; recovery will be long, extending beyond 2010," Ivan Seidenberg, CEO of Verizon Communications and chairman of the Roundtable, said. "The outlook of our CEOs reflects that reality: We see noticeable gains in sales and capital spending, but employment growth continues to lag."

I really did laugh, it is funny.
He may still not believe.
Yes he questions whether I will survive or die in vain, he saved me at birth from being three months premature. i continue to live and survive to meet my purpose.
Yea I bet he wondered if I was too good to be true :)
I met God once. We went for a pint together. Didn't think much to him to be honest; a bit.....I dunno. He reminded me a bit of, I know this is going to sound crackers but...Barry Manilow. In fact, if memory serves me well, I'm sure he insisted on being called Barry. Anyway, he's a wrong un'.
Why would he do that .Isn't He responsible for your existence?
The imaginary question the existance of reality. Now that is a thought
maybe... if god lives within each of us and we question him, it makes sense that he'd question our existence as well. Maybe this was all a dream of his and everything will end once he wakes up...
I imagine that if he exists and created us, he would probably have questioned it a few times.
he must've been fuuucccked up when he designed me
OH NO he didn't! We need one of you. He did that **** on purpose. :D
thank you

Peavey Electronics® and The Beatrix Girls Announce Licensing Partnership
June 13, 2013
The Beatrix Girls, an innovative new line of collectible pop-star dolls driven by original music, announces a comprehensive strategic promotional partnership with Peavey Electronics®, one of the world's largest manufacturers and suppliers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment. As part of the agreement, the new doll line will hit center stage for the first time with their very own, customized Peavey branded instruments.
"With their rich heritage and wildly respected background in the music industry, it made perfect sense for us to partner with Peavey Electronics," said Mary Mueller, Vice President of Global Marketing and Strategic Partnerships, The Beatrix Girls. "Both companies share a passion for music and for empowering and inspiring young musicians," added Mueller.
"The Beatrix Girls is a burgeoning entertainment pop-star brand, and we are looking forward to working with Peavey Electronics to help further expand The Beatrix Girls' reach to girls through music," added Sherry Gunther, creator and Chief Executive Officer of The Beatrix Girls.
With fully developed personalities, The Beatrix Girls band members Brayden, Ainsley, Lark and Chantal live and interact in the human world—producing real music, real hits, and real fans—kids can collect their music, join their fan club, and vicariously live the fantasy of being a pop-star through play. The Beatrix Girls songs are written and produced by a Platinum winning song-writer / producer who writes for some of the top pop stars today.
Peavey Electronics has been a leading manufacturer and supplier of musical instruments since the company revolutionized guitar making in the 1970s. Today, the methods Peavey pioneered are the industry standard worldwide. "We are thrilled to be working with The Beatrix Girls as they make their U.S. debut this fall," said Mary Peavey, President of Peavey Electronics. "The line has already generated huge industry buzz and we are looking forward to getting our products in the hands of aspiring new artists who want to live The Beatrix Girls' dream."

450 Post St. (near Mason)
San Francisco
Tel. (415) 956-6969
Few interiors are as fanciful as this seafood restaurant near Union Square. The ceiling near the oyster bar is hung with chandeliers that look like jellyfish; a white plastered nook of a room feels like the interior of a nautilus shell; and a painted mosaic dome that formerly capped the Elks Club pool sits over the main dining room. Chefs Mark Franz and Ryan Simas offer a menu with two categories of smaller courses, so you can mix and match. Large plates might include seared branzino with pasta; hearts of palm and a wild mushroom consomme; or warm lobster with cauliflower mousse and sweetbread hash. Don't pass up the desserts crafted by Emily Luchetti and Terri Wu.
Specialties: Iced seafood platters; tuna tartare with pepper creme fraiche and Asian pears; any dessert.
Dinner 5:30-9:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, until 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I have a couple of extensions that some of you may be interested in:
No Script automatically blocks j-a-v-a-s-c-r-i-p-t (I was redirected when I posted just the word), but allows you to selectively enable it for sites that require it (either temporarily or permanently). This allows you to (for example) enable gardenweb scripts but leave other scripts on its pages blocked (like the ivillage survey; I filled it out once, I'm not doing it again). Adblock allows you to selectively block advertizements (those not affected by No Script) you find obnoxious. Best part is, the more you do it, the less often you have to do so (there are after all, a finite number of advertizements and most are pretty common). And just for fun there is Stumble Upon. Just click the Stumble! icon that appears at the top left of the browser window and you will be transported to a random website based on preferences you set up (gardening, science, sports, religion, politics - whatever) that you can rank. You can also rank a website that you particularly like which will lead others with similar preferences to that site. You can also go to the main Firefox Addon Page and browse through other interesting available addons. And of course, here is the page for downloading Firefox Ryan |

I love it. GW is so much nicer without all the ads. Once in a while, when I want to follow a link, I have to tell Noscript that it is safe. It is really a great application. I have been using Foxfire for several years, I think it's the best. Donna |

Don't upgrade to Firefox 5 if you use the Google toolbar, or else you will lose it, and there is no prediction for when you will be able to get it back. I'm using an older version of Firefox. Lars |

Perlecan, a large heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), is present in the basement membrane and other extracellular matrices. Its protein core is 400 kDa in size and consists of five distinct structural domains. A number of in vitro studies suggest multiple functions of perlecan in cell growth and differentiation and tissue organization. Recent studies with gene knockout mice and human diseases revealed critical in vivo roles of perlecan in cartilage development and neuromuscular junction activity. Published in 2003.

Different online sources handle discounts in different ways. But you can start looking for these now. NH Hostas runs a rotating number of plants that are 40% off. Hallson has 23 plants labeled "Great Buy" Hostas. Made in the Shade has low prices overall, but runs one Hosta per month as a special. Naylor Creek will soon begin to Auction off their excess inventory on the Library Auction. You're too late for the White Oaks 'refrigerator sale'. That sells out early. Bridgewood Gardens runs a "Bargain Bin" with very low prices (2.95 and 3.95 per plant) with some really interesting and different plants. That pretty much covers the top rated mail order sites on the Garden Watch Dog. Others aren't running specials. Steve |

Tunbridge Fair: Success!
- Published on September 16, 2013
- Written by Kim Greenwood
Tunbridge Fair is a great time to meet current and future VBA members, encourage new beekeepers and sell our member's honey. Thanks to Doug Ouellette and Bill Mares for organizing and to all of the volunteers who helped out at the VBA booth. For those who were able to help out this weekend, thank you. If not, see you next year?
Weird Season, no?
- Published on September 7, 2013
- Written by Jeffrey Hamelman
Most reports from this part of the Vermont--the Connecticut River Valley near White River--are that it was an odd and a mostly poor year. I remember that two years ago was the worst season I had had in 30 years of beekeeping (strictly on a hobby scale, six hives max). And then last year was the best ever. Well, maybe this year was both. I have five hives, and three of them thought they would challenge each other to a swarming contest. They all had plenty of room, but were cooped up for so long in June that they all put on little hats when they got the chance and said "outa here!". And then the other two--between them they stayed put and made 230# of surplus honey. I guess some kids get an A and some get a D-, so why should the bees be any different?

The ABF's EPA Webinar Series is Now Open to the General Public
The American Beekeeping Federation Education Committee has been hard at work developing new ways to keep its members engaged and informed in between ABF annual conferences each year. The Conversation with a Beekeeper Webinar Series is the first interactive venture to deliver information directly to the membership.

The epithet "the airline industry is always in crisis" could be your reaction to Virgin Blue's announcement this morning that it expects to post a financial loss of A$30-80m this year compared to last year's $34.3m profit.
Indeed, Virgin Blue has been directly affected by a number of incidents that are affecting travel demand: Queensland floods, New Zealand earthquake, and rising fuel prices. So far the carrier has managed to avoid direct repercussions of the earthquake in New Zealand, but a medium/long-term indirect affect is not yet clear. Those events are affecting other airlines too: Air New Zealand last week said it expected to post a second half loss–but not, it should be noted, an annual loss. The difference is Virgin Blue has another burden.
The carrier's game change programme seeks to ultimately improve margins, especially with corporate travelers, but you have to spend money to make money and boy has Virgin been spending: new route to Abu Dhabi, new partnership with Etihad, new cabins (above), new uniforms (left), and new menus. Bigger costs are yet to come, like the re-branding and two A330-200 aircraft due to enter service in the next few months.
The two aircraft are leased, which helps defray costs over an outright purchase, but costs are still incurred in crew set up, spare parts, and maintenance (the two frames, formerly with Emirates, are a decade old). Better economics will come with the two A330-200 aircraft due next year direct from the Airbus production line, the first time the carrier will take brand new Airbus aircraft.
Still more changes and costs–some announced, some not–are on their way, so that helps explain how Virgin, unlike Air NZ, will undo its first half profit of $37m statutory before tax, meaning the carrier will lose $67-117m this half of the financial year. Virgin thus finds itself needing to more carefully balance game change with cost. It is understood some initiatives, like new training, have been scaled down. Fuel contingency amounts are being fine-tuned. Employees are also conjuring cost-cutting ideas.
Chief executive John Borghetti and his team have a solid vision of where and what they want their rejuvenated carrier to be. They have to navigate that path, which includes cost oversight and cost-cutting but also managing shareholders and investors by convincing them spending now is the right time to make the transformation lest Qantas has any more time to play catch-up, as it did with the trans-con market.
