Successful airlines strive for efficiency on every level. The innovative Flight Deck Solutions from Lufthansa Systems use the latest technologies and help reduce costs.
More than 35,000 pilots can already benefit from Lufthansa Systems' navigation charts on the flight deck.
Lufthansa Systems offers airlines an extensive range of integrated solutions for safe and cost-efficient flight operations. Its Flight Deck Solutions cover all operational aspects of a flight from a navigational point of view. Pilots, licensed dispatchers and IT experts work closely together to develop and implement these solutions.
Navigation solutions are the core of this product range. More than 180 airlines around the world use Lido/FMS. This data service for the flight management systems of modern passenger aircraft provides all of the information needed for a safe and efficient flight. It is based on the Lido navigation database which contains worldwide aeronautical data, including navigation aids, as well as approach and departure procedures for individual airports. With information on more than 20,000 airports, 90,000 airway segments and 165,000 waypoints, the database meets the highest standards of currency, precision and data integrity.
In accordance with the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Lido/FMS customers receive an update every 28 days so that their flight management systems are always up to date. For these updates, Lufthansa Systems currently generates around 350 different database extracts to meet the requirements of each customer's aircraft types, cockpit systems, route network and company-specific flight procedures.
From high-quality data to high-quality charts
The aeronautical database is also the basis of Lufthansa Systems' comprehensive range of navigation charts. Lido/RouteManual is available both in paper and digital form. The paper-based charts are very easy to use, and this user-friendliness is carried over to the applications for displaying the charts electronically – Lido/eRouteManual for traditional EFBs on Windows platforms and the Lido/Flight Deck Mobility Suite Apps Lido/iRouteManual, and Lido/Enroute for the Apple iPad. The coloured charts show true-to-scale topographical information, such as the height of mountains and course of rivers, and are oriented to magnetic north. The duration and distance of different approach and departure procedures are always precisely specified, altitude restrictions associated with the terrain are clearly depicted, and directions are always displayed in the same way regardless of the magnetic variation. This supports pilots in the cockpit and ensures greater safety.
With the electronic Lido/eRouteManual, Lido/iRouteManual and Lido/Enroute solutions, pilots can zoom in or out to change the depth of information on the charts and can highlight their selected approach or departure procedures. The eRouteManual includes airport taxiway charts, approach and take-off charts, and a seamless worldwide dynamic generated route chart.
Identical standards have been used for both the conventional and electronic charts so it is easier for airlines to migrate to a paperless cockpit and save the time and expense of manually updating all sets of charts every month.
Lido/FlightBag from Lufthansa Systems is an integrated solution for paperless flight which supports all operational processes in the cockpit. Lido/FlightBag is hardware-independent, can be used on any type of aircraft and supports all EFB classes. Charts as well as manuals, instructions and flight-specific documents can all be displayed and searched electronically.
Twenty-five percent of all aircraft worldwide are currently flying with little or no paper in the cockpit. Thanks to the advanced Flight Deck Solutions from Lufthansa Systems, this number will continue to grow in the coming years – for the benefit of efficiency, pilots and the environment.

Lily of the Valley Dillema
I'm a bit of a newbie and a lurker (but not stalker -- no pun intended ;-) I hope someone can help me!
Yep, I know that Lily of the Valley aren't true Lily, but I have a problem.
Dear Hubby and I are getting central air in our 100-year-old home. I have struggled to make my LOV happy, and they have finally started to take off, along with some Clematis and Bleeding Heart. But alas, this is the only location for the A/C unit...and it's right near the radon pump which is what the Clematis was hiding.
So, hubby, not being Mr. Gardener did me a favor and pulled up all of my plants (not the pips or roots). I just spent the better part of an hour pulling up the LOV pips (it's the plant I care most about) and the root stock of the Bleeding Heart.
Now what? I have them all cleaned and just sitting in the shade. I know they may die, but they would have died with an AC unit on top of 'em, too. So, I'm stuck with dry rooted plants. Is it best to just put 'em in peat and throw em in the basement (the coolest place in my house), or better to stick 'em in a freezer? I know some plants can't be frozen until they are naturally dormant (these obviously weren't).
Why not plant them in pots? Lily of the Valley are enormously invasive, and most gardeners spend a lot of time trying to get rid of them. But they are beautiful, and growing them in pots is the perfect situation. Bleeding Hearts do well in pots too, as long as you keep them in the shade and plant them in well-drained medium.
Good luck,

The Blue Angels until recently have visited the city of San Francisco on an annual basis during what is known as Fleet Week. Fleet Week at one point was a celebration for the Navy and the sailors as they visited various cities around the country.

One of the highlights of the week was the precision flying team of the Navy Blue Angels. The Blue Angels put on a high speed areal acrobatic show that was second to none. They would fly in over the Golden Gate Bridge and proceed to dazzle the audiences with precision stunts that was second to none. In order to fly in the Blue Angels an officer must have a minimum of 1,250...

OLAP cube is a multidimensional database that is optimized for data warehouse and online analytical processing (
OLAP) applications.
An OLAP cube is a method of storing data in a multidimensional form, generally for reporting purposes. In
OLAP cubes, data (measures) are categorized by dimensions.
OLAP cubes are often pre-summarized across dimensions to drastically improve query time over relational databases. The query language used to interact and perform tasks with
OLAP cubes is multidimensional expressions (
MDX). The
MDX language was originally developed by Microsoft in the late 1990s, and has been adopted by many other vendors of multidimensional databases.

Reviews for this vacation cabin rental in Branson, Missouri
Nancy Dickey
Irving, TX, USA
Great spring getaway
April 30, 2014
What a restful vacation amidst the beautiful dogwood trees. The "north woods" cabin provided a peaceful spot of rest and relaxation during our Branson getaway. It comes fully equipped for all our needs and was so comfortable we didn't really care if we had a reason to leave or not. The location is convenient to "The Strip" but away from traffic and noise, just a short distance from the outlet mall and other shopping. And sitting on the screened-in deck is the best seat in town for sipping that morning coffee or enjoying an evening toddy. It was so relaxing sitting there during a thunderstorm late one evening watching lightning in the distance yet staying safe and dry. We've enjoyed this cabin in the past and look forward to returning to it again.

Forget what you know about shady characters in back alleys dealing dope.

well it is a bath tub, so I suppose I can just plug it and add cold water? i'll need to make sure that the carboy is well stabilized first though. I don't want it sloshing around in there. That'd be bad.
it was still going like gang buster's when I got home last night. So I left the air lock out for another night. The brew store didn't have the 1" tubing so I had to forgo for now. I'll get some from Williams or More beer before my next batch...
Last night I had put just the bottom of the 3 piece back in to help make sure a good seal was made. about 4 hours after I did that heard a nice boom from the bathroom. Went in and found the air lock in the tub and brown crap all over the bath tub. Awesome. I really hope this doesn't cause a problem. I'm still going to let it finish and i'll bottle, but if I've got off flavors i'll be really sad.
When I got up this morning it had settled down significantly. It's still actively expelling CO2 but not foaming out the top. I went ahead a put the air lock back in and watched it for an hour seamed fine before I left. i'll go home and check it again on my lunch break.
Any one know why it did this? I've never had a batch ferment like this. What did I do differently?
so the 1.070 SG and my temp control. Alright then. So I know my next project needs to be a temperature controlled fermentation environment.
Good news. I went home on lunch and found that all is right again. No foaming, just a consistent happy air lock. I can see stuff moving around in the beer, and a nice yeast bed going on the bottom, but i'm confident that i'm in good shape. thanks for the help guys.

I AM SURE I WOULD LOVE THE SOFA IF I CAN GET IT IN A TEAL COLOR.Read More
Sectional is not to be used daily
2 years later... The leather looks like its peeling. The cushions are dented where you sit the most and are firm where no one sits. The cushions cracked on the side. Please keep in mind there are no kids in the house. It does not age well. Do NOT buy this sectional. Hold off if you can and save up for BETTER quality. The only reason to buy this sectional is if you want it to sit there an look pretty.Read More
Great sectional!
The couch is so comfy and perfect! I have 5 dogs and I believe this will hold up over time. Excellent quality. The only issue I had was the shipping company dropped it from the truck and when they uncovered it, I noticed a small tear in the back. I notified the shipping company and was told they would report the damage for me. I haven't heard back from anyone.Read More
My wife purchased this sofa 4 years ago. This sofa gets light use in the evenings and we have no children or pets in our household. By year 2 the springs were breaking in the sofa. By the end of the 2nd year the VINYL leather side match on the seat cushions was cracking and splitting apart! Now on year 4 1/2 and wouldn't be able to sell this thing for a $X if I wanted too! Bought the extended warranty & scheduled several appointments over the years to have no one show up! The cracking peeling & splitting VINYL side match on the seat cushions is noticeable as soon as you walk in the room and we have to warn our guest to BE CAREFUL where they sit or the will sink to the frame! Paid good money for this sofa as we felt it would be an investment that we would have for years to come - that was a big mistake! At first we loved this sofa but though we would warn people what long time ownership will bring you! I'm happy to report we still have massive cracking and peeling going on down to the webbed mesh of the vinyl! We feel as if we were ripped off purchasing this sectional.Read More
Stunning sectional!
I was very pleased with my Abbyson Top Grain leather sectional. It fit perfectly and the color matches with the decor I currently have in my home. This couch is great because the shape fits our space and probably mosts spaces pretty well. Leather feels very nice quality and the cushions are comfy! The delivery service was excellent. The movers were very professional and were right on time. I was a little hesitent to purchase on line but after doing a little homework.Read More
I am starting off by saying this piece is worth way more than the amount! It arrived in perfect condition, the quality of the leather is fantastic! I looked locally for something like this and would have paid twice as much. I was a little leary on ordering something like this online having not sat on it. But this sofa is very comfortable and well made. If you are looking for a sectional, look no further!Read More
You get what you pay for
One year later cushions wearing so that finish coming off of edges, huge uneven dent (4-6 inches deep) in padding in corner of one cushion. Has not worn well and definitely does not look better with age age leather usually does.Read More
Great Sectional
So excited to have received our new sectional before my family and friends came to visit. Really impressed with the overall quality, style and look. Love the accents too. Makes my living room look great. Thanks O.co.... for carrying such beautiful products.Read More
Very nice
Nice sectional. Have had it about 2 months. A few things to note: - Decorative nail heads are a darker, antiqued brass color (which is perfect). Pictures make them look shinier than they are. - Cushions are firmer and less cushy (which is fine, unless you want a cushy lounging couch) - Would have received a 5 out of 5, but there was some slight fraying on the stitching on one of the arm rests.Read More
Sofa is very nice. As advertised.
Very nice sofa. Easy to assemble. Matched description.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello 1285buck, the beautiful sectional uses the same quality leather on the entire item. Thank you for shopping with us.
hi, what is the distance from the right armrest to the wall? and from the left armrest to the wall?
Thank you for contacting us vohman123. Right armrest to back wall of corner piece: 103 inches in length. Left armrest to back wall of corner piece: 103 inches in length. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Is this couch made of "bonded" leather?
Hello nyny23, it is made of top grain leather. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Is this sectional a 3 piece? I'm also confused by the measurements. How "long" is the couch from one arm to the other arm including the corner piece?
Yes mthelma120, this is a 3 piece sectional and it is approximately 142 inches at the longest point. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
Measuring from the left arm to the corner where the couch will hit the right wall what is the length? Is it 109"?
Hello, mkcoastie2197. The distance you mention is approximately 107 inches. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day.
Is there a matching chair to this sectional? a recliner/ or recliner/rocker?
Hi, nikolemw. Unfortunately no, we do not have a chair or recliner that matches this sofa. Thanks for shopping with us, and have a great day.
The dimensions are definitely unclear. It states 55" for each of the left and right sofa pieces and 62" for the corner piece. Hence, if I want a measurement of the left arm to midway of the corner piece if should be 86" (55" + 31") however one of the older questions about dimensions states it is 109". I can only fit 96" therefore this is important for me to know this before I order. Thanks!
Hello cg1872 This sectional has received excellent reviews! I apologize for the delay. We are still working to confirm the information you requested. If/when we obtain this information, we will update you. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hello cg1872, Great news! I was able to clarify the dimensions for you. The overall width of the sectional is 142 inches, measuring from the left-facing end to the end (in a straight line) is 107 inches. Unfortunately, a space of 96 inches will be too small for this sectional. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us.
I'm still confused about the length. If I measured from the left arm to the right arm in a straight line, what is that distance?
Hello msburns98, This sectional is stunning! I apologize for the delay. We are still working to confirm if you can remove the lazy susan. If/when we obtain this information, we will update you. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hello msburns98, Great news! I was able to clarify the dimensions for you. The overall width of the sectional is 142 inches, measuring from the left-facing end to the end (in a straight line) is 107 inches. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Would it be fair to say that this sectional is a LEFT facing or RIGHT facing sofa based upon how you place it? Or am I missing something? (Essentially it is two sofas each without an arm but with a corner piece connecting them).
Hello cmlevy, This beautiful sectional has received excellent reviews! Yes, this sectional is three pieces, basically two sofas and a corner section. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Is the back of the sofa leather?
Hello ljason1, leather match on sides and back, thanks for shopping with us.
Hi, is there anywhere I can see the back view of this sectional? Thanks!
Hello tifa2276, This sectional is beautiful! Unfortunately, we don't have any additional images of this item. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us.
In which country is this manufactured?
Hello! This beautiful sectional is made in China. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
What does the back of this sectional look like? Could you post a picture, please?
You will be contacted by Customer Care.
The Abbyson Living website states the overall dimension is 142" wide. is there a diagram of the shape and exact measurements? Length and Width of either side?
No, we do not have a diagram of the shape but the exact measurements according to the Abbyson Living website is Overall dimensions: 142 W x 39 D x 36 inches H Left-facing section: 55 W x 36 D x 36 inches H Right-facing section: 55 W x 36 D x 36 inches H
What leather grade is this? Is it possible to get a sample?
This is 100 % leather,unfortunately we are unable to get a sample.
Do the three pieces have a way to connect so pieces don't move when you sit on them?
Thank you for your interest. Yes, the sections are connected by metal brackets/hooks. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
I'm confused by the measurements. How "long" is the couch from one arm to the other (including the corner piece)
Overall dimensions: 36 inches high x 109 inches wide x 109 inches deep
Is it possible to get a swatch sent to me before purchasing. I would like to see the leather.
I am sorry. We do jot provide this service.
I can see this couch has a wedge- can you tell me if the back profile of the sofa is round and not squared off- on the back of the wedge?
That corner piece is rounded.

How to Measure for a Sectional Sofa
Adding trendy and stylish sectional sofas to your home provides you with a comfortable place to sit at the end of the day and adds fashion to your home. A sectional sofa is a popular choice of seating for formal or casual living rooms, recreation rooms and studies. The one drawback to sectional sofas is their size. They're much larger than traditional sofas and allow for less flexibility in furniture arrangements. However, it's easy to overcome that by following these tips on How to Measure for a Sectional Sofa.
How to Buy a Sectional Sofa
Shopping for a new piece of furniture can be fun but daunting. After all, almost all pieces of living room furniture are somewhat large and will be in your home for many years, so whatever you choose has to be a good fit. This is definitely true when purchasing a new sofa, especially when it is a sectional sofa. Knowing what you are looking for in terms of style, color and fabric can help you to buy the perfect sectional sofa for your family or living room.
How to Maintain a Leather Sofa
If you are planning to buy a leather sofa, you'll want to make sure you know how to maintain the upholstery. A leather sofa can be one of the most comfortable and stylish pieces of furniture in your home. Whether you are considering a leather sectional sofa, sleeper sofa, leather chairs, or any other piece of leather furniture, you can significantly extend their longevity by giving them proper and consistent care. Here are a few tips to make sure your leather sofa will be a favorite furniture piece for years.
Best Sectional Couches for Small Spaces
Anyone who lives in a small space knows how hard it can be to fit a sectional sofa into an area that seemingly has no extra room. Large sectional sofas can leave your home feeling cramped. However, over the past few years, finding the best sectional sofa for a small space has become much easier. To begin shopping for a sectional couch, consider the number of people who will be seated regularly in order to determine the ideal size for the space, and be sure to measure the room where you will be placing the sofa.
Best Rooms for a Leather Couch
Sinking into the comfortable cushions of a leather couch is an experience not soon forgotten. Once you place a leather couch in your room, it won't take long for it to become the favorite seat in the home among family and friends. Whether guests gather on your new leather sofa for a good talk or you curl up on the soft cushions of your leather sectional sofa after a long day's work, you'll be glad you've furnished your home with leather furniture fit for a queen or king. Although a leather couch can pretty much fit into any room in your home, here are a few places they will be especially appreciated.
Best Rooms for a Sectional Couch
One of the most comfortable and attractive pieces of home furniture is the sectional couch. Whether family and friends gather around it for the big game or snuggle up to watch a movie, you can bet your sectional couch will immediately become the focal point of the room. Luckily, sectional couches are great additions to several rooms in your home, so you can recreate the warm atmosphere created by sectional sofas throughout the house. Here are some of the rooms that will look spectacular with a sectional sofa.
How to Choose Leather Sectionals
If you need furniture for a large living room or family room, and you need to provide the maximum amount of seating for the space, then a sectional sofa is a great choice. Although many fabric materials are available, leather sectionals are popular because of their durability, ease of cleaning, and stylish look. When you start shopping, you'll find that there are many different style available, so here are some tips on choosing the best one for your home.
How to Buy Slipcovers
One of the simplest ways to update your decor is to buy slipcovers. Available in many sizes to fit chairs, futons, sofas, sectionals and even recliners, furniture slipcovers can be an easy solution when you're redecorating on a budget. Choosing quality sofa and chair slipcovers will be less expensive than replacing your old furniture, especially if the item is sturdy and comfortable, and a well-fitting chair or sofa slipcover will complement your room and give your furniture a face-lift. Whether you need to cover up old couches that have seen better days with sofa slipcovers or just want a fitted slipcover to give your armchair a fresh, polished look, the following suggestions will help you find the perfect furniture covers for your home. Read on for tips on buying slipcovers.
How to Clean a Leather Sofa
A leather sofa can be a durable and beautiful piece of living room furniture. However, if your leather sofas and loveseats aren't properly cared for, they will lose some of their beauty and can even become damaged. Fortunately, cleaning a leather sofa is simple. About once a month, or after a party or other event when your couch gets lots of use, follow these steps.
Popular Leather Sofa Styles
A leather sofa is a classic piece of furniture, and there are styles that can fit in every type of room. The right one will help you express your style as well as provide you with a comfortable place to sit for many years to come. With so many different leather sofas and loveseats to choose from, you'll want to read about them all to find the one that will best fit your home.
Couches vs Sofas
When shopping for living room furniture, the most important piece is your couch or sofa. It will be at the hub of all your living room activity. In addition to sitting and relaxing on your comfortable couch or sofa, you'll offer this seating to any guests who happen to stop by. Although the terms "couch" and "sofa" are often used interchangeably and they do refer to similar pieces of furniture for the home, there are distinct differences that exist between the two.
How to Clean a Sofa
It's the main piece of furniture in your living room, so you always want your sofa to look its best. But over time, couches can get a bit dingy. And if you have a party, or if you have kids and pets, then your sofa probably needs a cleaning. Choose your cleaning method based on the type of upholstery; the wrong kind of cleaner can cause the material on your sofa to shrink, fade, or become discolored.
Cheap Sofas vs Discount Sofas
Sofas and loveseats are quintessential pieces in any living room. When choosing your living room furniture, consider looking for cheap and discounted sofas and loveseats to make outfitting your home a more affordable undertaking. If you view finding loveseats and sofas at stellar prices as an exciting challenge, you can make finding the perfect furniture a fun adventure.
The Sleeper Sofa vs a Conventional Sofa
Deciding whether a sleeper sofa or a conventional sofa would be best for your room is a long-term decision. Chances are you'll own your sleeper sofa or regular sofa for several years, maybe even moving it into different homes. Both styles have certain attributes that should be considered before making a decision. Either way, if you choose a sofa to fit your style and requirements, you'll be happy to own it for years to come. Here are a few things to consider about both styles before making a choice.
How to Decorate with a Blue Sofa
We all have that one piece of furniture we love. Whether it's a blue sofa or loveseat, a red leather chair or a knotty pine wood bookcase that has seen better days, it will forever be a part of your home. If you have one special piece of furniture that you must coordinate into the rest of your decor, do it with style by coordinating colors. Blending a blue sofa into an existing living room, den or recreation area is simple. By adding colorful accents such as pillows, rugs and window treatments, you can easily integrate your favorite blue sofa into your design scheme. Look below to learn how to decorate with a blue sofa.
How to Select a Couch for a Small Living Space
These days, many people are opting for less spacious, more efficient living quarters. In the suburbs, houses often occupy narrow lots and have smaller rooms so that they can remain one story, which saves on utilities. In urban areas, high-rise condos are the rage, but real estate is also at an all-time premium. Expansive apartments and condos are the exception and not the rule for many people, so choosing a sofa or loveseat for a small space has become a necessity for many households. If you're on the hunt for a new sofa, look below to learn how to select a couch for a small living space.
How to Measure a Sofa for a Slipcover
One of the easiest ways to update your sofa is to buy a slipcover that fits it well and hides any imperfections. Slipcovers come in a variety of colors and styles; plus, they fit over the front, sides and back of your sofa. Sofa slipcovers come in ready-made and custom sizes, depending on the type of sofa you own; you can also purchase a stretch sofa slipcover that contains polyester and spandex for your couch. With a tape measure and a few tips, you can easily measure your sofa to ensure the couch slipcover you buy will fit perfectly.
Best Kid-friendly Fabric for Sofas
Finding the right sofa and loveseats that match your room, have the right look and meet your budget can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. If kid-friendly fabrics are on your must-have list, start by looking below. This article will help you find the best kid-friendly fabrics for sofas, which should repel stains and hold up to added abuse from children jumping, scooting and forgetting to remove their shoes before hopping on the sofa. Microfiber: Microfiber is stain-resistant and comes in different textures. Some microfiber weaves are smooth, like suede, and others are denser, similar to corduroy. You may clean most microfiber with water, but check the manufacturer's tag because a few types of microfiber may require cleaning with a compatible solvent. Wool: For sofas, wool and wool blends are great because of their durability. They're less prone to pilling, snagging and wrinkling than other fabrics. Plus, wool is easy to spot-clean. Vacuum this natural fabric with a hand-held vacuum attachment to remove dust. Leather: Leather is a versatile sofa fabric; it can be elegant or totally casual. Its slick surface makes cleanups relatively easy. Beware if you have pets, as little claws can leave scratch marks. Scuff-repair solutions are available, and they can keep your kids' sofa looking good for years. In addition, a quick treatment with leather conditioner once or twice a year will keep the sofa soft and supple. Vinyl: Vinyl is just as versatile as leather and often has the same smart look, but at a much more affordable price. It's easy to clean, too: just spray it with water and wipe spills away. Vinyl isn't as snuggly as microfiber, but in a playroom, it will hold up to lots of abuse. Denim: Just because a sofa is upholstered in denim doesn't mean it'll look like your worn-out jeans. Just like a comfy pair of jeans, denim is sturdy and goes with everything. In addition, denim sofas are available in a rainbow of colors to match your kids' bedrooms or playroom.

How to Give Your Sofa a Makeover
Of all your furniture, your sofa may be the most intimidating to update. It's a key piece of your living room, but giving it a makeover isn't as difficult as you might imagine. With a few simple steps, your sofa will have a fresh look, and your whole living room will feel renewed.
How to Put a Slipcover on a Sofa
Don't throw away that old couch just yet. Instead, why not give it a facelift? You can freshen up your old sofa with a brand new sofa slipcover instead of buying a brand new piece of furniture. A slipcover can save you hundreds of dollars. Once you have chosen the correct slipcover for the size and style of your sofa, you can follow these easy steps to ensure that your slipcover looks great and stays in place.

"I posted a while back but didn't receive any response so here I am again. I get a reboot every time I turn off the screen. Doesn't matter what settings I use it always happens. I tried disabling hotplugging which didn't help either. I made a last_kmsg so I'll post that too. Hoping someone can help me with this issue as I just love the kernel when I'm actually using the tablet. The reboots are not random at all, it is always about 4-5 seconds after screen off so it is very annoying."

The retailer cut 100 employees this summer as it moved away from flash sales.
Web-only retailer Fab.com, which sells design-inspired products, will lay off 101 employees worldwide, including 84 in its New York City headquarters, CEO Jason Goldberg announced on the company blog today. Customer service, technology and merchandise planning staff will not be affected, he writes.
The layoffs follow a 100-person staff reduction in Fab.com's Berlin office over the summer, and will leave the retailer's total headcount at 440 full-time workers, according the blog. The retailer will, however, be hiring staff to add to its 50-person Fab Designed By You team in Berlin, which oversees its custom furniture division.
Fab.com's staff cuts in recent months are part of its plan to become profitable while transitioning from flash sales to more traditional e-commerce, Goldberg has said. The retailer is investing tens of millions of dollars into holding its own inventory so that it can deliver orders and process returns more quickly. "To pay for that, while accelerating our path to profitability, we've made the tough but correct decision to eliminate positions that are either legacies of our former flash-sales business model or are part of current processes that can be managed with innovative technology and fewer people," he writes. "The layoffs will affect almost every department at Fab but it is not an across-the-board cut; rather it reflects the strategic direction of our business."
In June, Fab.com raised $150 million in its fifth funding round, bringing its total funding to date to more than $310 million. Founded in 2011, the retailer sold roughly $20 million via flash sales in its first six months and has grown since to having several $40 million sales quarters and $1 million sales days, Goldberg writes in a letter to employees released in conjunction with today's blog post. The retailer has more than 10 million members and sells in 30 countries outside the United States.

Powdered Milk being used by Ice Cream Manufacturers
Be aware that many manufacturers have stopped using actual milk for making ice creams. Many have begun using powdered milk products in their ice creams. Manufacturers can buy powdered product in bulk, and a lower cost, and it will store for longer periods without refrigeration in their warehouses until needed for production purposes. Avoid the processed foods, avoid the large chain stores who don't support local produce. When possible support the local providers, always!
