MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/25/13 -- Fox Technologies, Inc., a leading global provider of access management solutions, today announced the release of FoxT ServerControl version 6.7. Part of FoxT's comprehensive Access Management solution suite, FoxT ServerControl enables organizations to proactively enforce privileged user access policies and actions across diverse Unix, Linux and Windows servers.
The latest release of FoxT ServerControl makes it possible for organizations to leverage FoxT's Active Directory (AD) Bridge and the implementation of SSH jointly. Specifically, the new functionality, Kerberos-enabled SSH, allows for transparent Kerberos ticket retrieval directly from AD (or other Kerberos infrastructure) and use of the ticket for authentication throughout the environment.
"What's particularly interesting about the new Kerberos-enabled SSH capability is that user authentication for access to a NFSv4 file system that is hosted on a server or appliance can now be automatically controlled through FoxT ServerControl," stated Jonas Iggbom, Director of Product Management at FoxT. "That gives organizations additional control and flexibility in authenticating SSH users as well as the ability to automatically control access to file systems using the NFSv4 architecture."
While previous versions of FoxT's privileged access management solution provided centralized management of SSH host keys down to sub-service levels, the new release adds support for centralized management of SSH User Public Keys, making the provisioning of public keys to hosts much more efficient.
Expanding the scope of access control, the latest release enables organizations to leverage the powerful access policy engine within FoxT ServerControl to enforce access controls for Windows Network File Shares (Netshares). With FoxT's Netshare Access Control, controlling who has access to what Netshares on a Windows server is easily configured, proactively enforced, and automatically logged for audit reporting.
"With the new Netshare Access Control and Kerberos-enabled SSH capabilities, organizations can centrally and proactively prevent unauthorized access to file systems on Windows, Linux and Unix environments," said Subhash Tantry, CEO at FoxT. "With this latest release, we continue to deliver on our strategy of providing the most extensive and granular access control enforcement to the marketplace, which in turn, enables organizations to protect their corporate data and value."

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

STAR TREK the enemy of LOST IN SPACE?

Re: STAR TREK the enemy of LOST IN SPACE?
I remember that when the Allen shows got repeated by BBC 2 (for The Time Tunnel) and Channel 4 (everything else) as part of the great '60's nostalgia kick back in the '90's (resulting in weird things like the original Randall and Hopkirk being better and more fondly remembered by people my age thanks to getting fully networked in a decent-for-kids timeslot as opposed to its rather half arsed all round the houses of the ITV regions original run)
Lost in Space
didn't go down nearly as well as any of the others did with me and my school friends.
Now, maybe the early episodes being B&W had a factor in that, but that didn't stop
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
doing OK on a Sunday lunchtime. I think it's just simply aged really badly, more than his other shows and certainly more than Trek has (the original series was having its own upteenth rerun on BBC2 about the same time as well and always felt much less squirm enducing even in its worst episodes).
Oddly enough the big success was one of his less succesful series in
Land of the Giants
, perfect Sunday lunch viewing, had the advantage of being repeated around the time of the Beeb's big
adaptations (so little people were "cool") and the effects and giant props stood up surprisingly well by mid-90's standards. That was always the one that people at school seemed to watch and which got the best reaction.

He handled the foreign-policy questions competently and remained calm in the face of the full fire of the vice president.
Do you have any regrets about the way that dissent was handled then?
Central questions of gender and ethnicity are handled with a delicate clarity.
Old English handle, formed from hand (n.) with instrumental suffix -le indicating a tool in the way thimble was formed from thumb. The slang sense of "nickname" is first recorded 1870, originally U.S., from earlier expressions about adding a handle to (one's) name, i.e. a title such as Mister or Sir, attested from 1833. To fly off the handle (1833) is a figurative reference to an ax head (to be off the handle "be excited" is recorded from 1825, American English). To get a handle on "get control of" is first recorded 1972.
Old English handlian "to touch or move with the hands," also "deal with, discuss;" see handle (n.). Akin to Old Norse höndla "to seize, capture," Danish handle "to trade, deal," German handeln "to bargain, trade." Related: Handled; handling. Meaning "to act towards (someone) in a certain manner" (usually with hostility or roughness) is from c.1200. The commercial sense was weaker in English than in some other Germanic languages, but it emerged in American English (1888) from the notion of something passing through one's hands, and cf. handler.
To cope with; manage; hack: He can handle Tom's temper tantrums very well/ My wife left me and I don't know how to handle it (1970s+)

Product Description
Exercises continue with picture-to-picture analogies. Two pictures that have a special relationship are connected by a line in a frame containing six pictures. Students choose two other pictures from the frame that have the same relationship and connect them with a line. As students begin to learn the letters of the alphabet, the analogies include them, combining letters and pictures or symbols, and progressing to analogies using only words-easy, phonetically regular words as well as words students meet in their reading and in their daily lives. In the culminating All-Star level, students make up their own analogies, choosing from labeled pictures in a box and telling, in writing, how the pictures go together.
Primary Analogies groups analogous relationships into 5 catagories: descriptive, comparative, categorical, serial, and casual, with 3 levels of difficulty within each catagory.
This is recommended for Grades K-3, and is non-reproducible.

The Big Three continue to lead the way for the Miami Heat, who seem unlikely to relinquish control of the Southeast Division lead down the stretch. While Ray Allen has missed the last five games, the Boston Celtics have climbed to the top of the Atlantic behind tremendous efforts from Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Looking to continue their recent success in this series, the Heat try to avoid an eighth consecutive regular-season road loss to the Celtics as these Eastern Conference rivals square off Sunday afternoon. After a dominating performance in last season's conference semifinals, Miami (37-13) improved to 6-1 over the last seven meetings in this series with a home-opening 115-107 win Dec. 27. Allen scored 28 in that game while Rajon Rondo added 22 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for Boston (29-22), which couldn't keep up down the stretch with Pierce sidelined due to a bruised right heel. The Celtics could be shorthanded again in this one with Allen's status up in the...

SUPFES ETAL FRICTION COUPLING MECHANISM 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 DOA/A10 F. SUP/DES fDW/A/ I Mon/774A 1/0 ATTORNEY.
United States Patent 3,311,205 FRICTEGN COUPLHIG ME CHANHSM Donald F. Suppes, Wyckofi, and Edwin J. Montaivo, iackensacir, NJ. (both Montaivo & Co., Inca, 379 Union St., Haclrensacit, NJ. 07696) Filed Feb. 15, 1966, Ser. No. 527,578 6 Claims. (Cl. 1927G) This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 302,169, filed Aug. 14, 1963, now Patent No. 3,237,738.
This invention relates to a friction coupling mechanism. The invention includes within its scope brakes, wherein a rotatable element is selectively frictionally coupled to a relatively non-rotatable element, and clutches, wherein two rotatable elements are selectively coupled and uncoupled. The mechanism in accordance with the invention is illustrated herein by an embodiment thereof in the form of a brake for a rotatable shaft.
The present invention represents an improvement upon the invention disclosed and claimed in the above-referredto application Ser. No. 302,169, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The present invention is particularly concerned with an improved guide means forthe frictional members or pad means of the friction coupling mechanism, whereby the frictional members or pads are more securely guided between their inoperative and operative positions, and the thrust reactions upon the frictional members or pads are more efficiently absorbed or compensated for than in the prior structure.
The invention has among its objects the provision of a novel frictional coupling mechanism.
A further object of the invention lies in the provision, in a frictional coupling mechanism wherein frictional members or pads are selectively advanced into engagement with or retracted from a confronting member with which it is designed to have selective driving and/or braking relationship, of improved means for guiding such frictional members and for absorbing the torque reaction therefrom resulting from engagement of such members with the confronting member.
In the drawings, wherein like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views,
FIG. 1 is a view in front elevation of the mechanism of the invention, the shaft to which the mechanism is connected being shown in transverse section, a part of the friction plate nearer the reader in the figure being broken away; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view in section through the mechanism of FIG. 1, the section being taken along the broken I section line 22 of FIG. 1.
In the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 correspond generally to FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively, of application Ser. No. 302,169. With the exception of the added guides for the frictional members or pads, the reference characters employed in FIGS. 1 and 2 herein are the same as those employed in FIGS. 2 and 3 in the parent application.
As above indicated the friction coupling mechanism of the invention may be employed either as a brake or as a clutch. The embodiment of mechanism illustrated herein is adapted to function as a brake. In the embodiment shown, the brake generally designated by the reference character 10, is adapted selectively frictionally to couple a rotatable shaft 11 to a non-rotatable member 40 so as to bring the shaft 11 to a stop and to retain it from rotation. The mechanism includes a rotor 12 which is affixed to shaft 11 in a manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
Rotor 12 has an annular sleeve-like hub 14 which is secured to shaft 11 to rotate therewith by means of a key 15 which is disposed in a groove 16 in the shaft and a keyway 17 in the hub of the rotor. The hub 14 of rotor 12 3,3 1 1,2 Patented Mar. 28, 196? 'ice has an annular seat 19 on each side thereof, each seat accurately receiving the inner thickened edge 21 of a respective one of the two similar friction plates 2t 21). The friction plates are securely held on hub 14 and maintained against rotation with respect thereto by a plurality of studs 22 which extend inwardly through angularly spaced bores 24 in the inner edge portion 21 of each plate Zll, 2t) and are screwed into a threaded passage 25 in the hub 14.
The outer portion 26 of each plate 20, 24] is somewhat thinner than portion 21 thereof, portion 26 having a plurality of radially directed cooling fins 27 integrally at tached to the outer face of the plate. The inner face 29 of each plate 21 20 is flat, annular, and lies in a plane transverse to the axis of the shaft 11. The friction coupling mechanism 11 in the illustrative embodiment thereof includes a plurality (six shown) of opposed pairs of friction members 31 in the form of discs which are mounted on a body which is fixed from rotation relative to shaft 11, friction members 30 being selectively forcibly thrust outwardly into contact with the respective faces 29 of the opposed plates 20, 211.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two pairs of opposed friction members 31 are mounted in each of three similar sector-shaped bodies 31 which are disposed coaxially of the shaft 11 and rotor 12 and are spaced at equal angles from each other. Each of the bodies 31 is supported on the above mentioned member ill by means of two rigid L-shaped brackets or hangers 32. Each bracket 32 has an arm 34 extending parallel to shaft 11, the outer end of arm 34 being received within a groove in the outer face of the respective body 31 and secured thereto by studs 36. The radially extending arm 37 of each bracket 32 is secured to member 40 by studs 39. The member 40 may have a central passage therethrough, as shown, to receive shaft 11 therethrough should such be desired. Member 40, in turn, is secured to a fixed structure generally designated 41 (FIG. 2); member 41 may be, for example, a part of the frame of the apparatus with which the brake 10 is used. The brackets 32 hold the bodies 31 so that the side faces 44 of the latter are in alignment transverse to the axis of shaft 11 and are spaced a short distance inwardly from the inner face 29 of the respective friction plate 20, 20, The radially inner surfaces 42 of bodies 31 are spaced radially outwardly somewhat from the root of body 12 between flange members 26.
Each of bodies 31 is provided with two angularly spaced sets of opposed fluid operated reciprocating motors of the diaphragm type which thrust the friction members 30 against the faces 29 of plates 20, 20. The construction of such motors is most clearly shown in FIG. 2. As there shown, the body 31 has a bore 45 therein extending inwardly from each side surface of the body to a relatively axially thick central radially inwardly directed flange 46. An annular body 47 accurately fits within each bore 45, body 47 functioning to thrust the radially outer edge of an axially inner flat spring member 49 and the outer edge 51 of a rubber-like diaphragm 59 lying axially outwardly of spring 49 together and against the annular side surface of flange 6. The radial- 1y outer edge of a second, outer flat spring member 52, which is similar to member 49, overlies the axially outer face of member 47. The two similar reciprocating fluid motors thus formed have the parts thereof held together by a plurality of equally angularly spaced bolts 53 which extend in that order from the left to the right in FIG. 3 through passages in the outer edge of spring 52, member 47, flange 51 of diaphragm 50, the outer edge of spring 49, the flange 46 and the radially outer parts of the other, opposed similar motor in the reverse order from that above given for the first motor. Bolts 53 are secured by nuts on the right-hand ends thereof, as shown. I
The diaphragm 58 has a rounded annular fold 54 which is open in an axially inwardly direction. The outer side wall 55 of the diaphragm adjacent fold 54 and the inner side wall 56 thereof lie generally parallel to and radially spaced from each other. An annular plunger body 59 fitting with the inner side wall 56 of the diaphragm is disposed in bore 45 coaxial thereof and is maintained in such position by the above mentioned flat spring members 49 and 52. Plunger body 59 is made of non-magnetic material such as aluminum. Beyond the inner wall 56 the diaphragm 50 continues in a radially inwardly extending annular flange portion 57 which overlies and sealingly engages the radially outer annular axially inner surface of plunger body 59. The plunger body 59 has a central axially extending boss 60 which extends through a central hole in the flange 57 of the diaphragm 50.
The axially outer end of plunger body 59 is provided with a circular cylindrical seat 63 within which there is received a permanent magnet 61, which may be made, for example, of Alnico. The magnet 61 has a shape which is most clearly shown at the upper right in FIG. 2. The inner end of the magnet is in the form of a thickwalled circular cylindrical sleeve. The forward end of magnet 61, which has spaced opposite poles 66 and 67 of opposed magnetic polarity, extends through and closely fits within a central hole 72 in the flat spring 52. The motor plunger assembly is completely by a stepped washer 62 which lies between the inner flat spring member 49 and the inner flange 57 of the diaphragm 50 with the broader portion thereof in contact with the flange of the diaphragm, a bolt or screw 64, made of non-magnetic material such as brass, which extends through the axial passage in magnet 61 and has its head received within a central seat in the magnet between the opposed holes thereof, and a nut 65, the radially outer edge of which overlies the inner edge of the flat spring member 49.
The flat springs 49 and 52, which are made of nonmagnetic material such as a conventional resilient berylhum-copper alloy, maintain the plunger body 59 in the retracted position shown in FIG. 2 when the chamber 76 between the inner ends of the opposed motors is subjected only to atmospheric pressure. When, however, chamber 76 is subjected to appreciable fluid pressure by being connected to a source of compressed air, the plunger body 59 is thrust axially outwardly so as strongly to force its friction element 30 against the confronting face 29 of its respective friction plate 20,
The flat spring members 49 and 52, which may be of identical construction, each have a central opening 72 therethrough. Each plate has a plurality of holes spaced radially outwardly from hole 72 and spaced angularly at 90 from each other. From each of such angularly spaced holes there extends a first chordally disposed slot and a second chordally disposed slot at right angles to the first slot, each second slot lying intermediate a first slot from an adjoining one of the angularly spaced holes and the central hole 72 through the flat spring member. As a result of such construction, the central part of the disc is, in effect, supported by four equally angularly spaced fingers which connect it to the outer peripheral portion of the spring member. Thus the central portion of the spring member may yield appreciably in an axial direction with respect to the outer peripheral portion thereof.
The friction element has a disc member 74 with a central boss 75 aflixcd thereto, the disc and boss both being made of magnetic metal. The boss 75 has a diameter such that it is received Within the seat provided between the poles 66 and 67 of the magnet and the head of the bolt 64, with at least a slight freedom of radial and angular movement with respect to the magnet. The magnet 61 thus retains the friction element securely in place while permitting it to adjust itself slightly as may be required as the friction element wears.
Fluid flows between the chamber 76 and the inner surface of each of the diaphragms 50 of the opposed fluid motors in each pair thercof through the angularly spaced holes and the first and second slots in the flat spring members 49 of each of the motors. The chamber 76 between the inner ends of each pair of opposed motors is supplied with fluid under pressure through a passage 7 extending radially through the flange 46. A fitting 79 is screwed into the outer end of passage 77. The fittings 79 of the two chamber 76 in each body 31 are connected by a crosspipc 80 to which a branch supply pipe (not shown) is connected. As displosed in application Ser. No. 302,169, each branch supply pipe is connected to a manifold or bustle pipe through a shut-off valve 82. The manifold, in turn, is supplied with fluid under pressure from a source, not shown, through a main supply pipe provided with a main control valve. When the valves 82 are suitably manipulated, two, four, or six of the opposed pairs of fluid motors of the mechanism 10 may be operated when the main control valve is opened. In order to permit the operation of the mechanism 10 with any number from one to six of the opposed pairs of fluid motors in operative condition, there is provided a shut-off valve 83 in the branch line 80 leading to one pair of fluid motors, whereby such one opposed pair of fluid motors may be selectively made to be operative or inoperative.
Preferably the mechanism 10 is provided with cooling means for plates 20 in addition to the above mentioned cooling fins 27 thereon. Such cooling means takes the form of three double-ended nozzles 87, one of which is located in each of the spaces between the confronting radial end surfaces of the successive bodies 31.
Each end of the nozzle body is provided with a nozzle opening. The nozzle body is provided with fluid under pressure such as compressed air, such fluid being discharged through the nozzle openings against the inner faces 29 of the plates 20. A convenient and preferred manner of supplying nozzles 87 with fluid is illustrated in FIG. 1, wherein the pipe 90 which supplies each double ended nozzle 87 is connected to the manifold through a manually operated shut-off valves 91 are opened, the opening of the main control valve not only supplies fluid under pressure to the chamber 76 of each operative pair of opposed fluid motors, but also causes cooling fluid to be discharged from the nozzles 87 against the friction plates 20, 20, as described.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a positive means for guiding the pressure or friction members 31 and for opposing the torque reaction between such members 31? and the body 31. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is provided on each of the segments 31 a pair of guide members 95, the members 95 of each pair being of reverse configuration. Thus each member 95 has a flat body portion 96 which is attached by studs 97 to the respective segments of body 31. The members 95 forming a cooperating pair thereof abut along their straight edges 98 when mounted in operative position, as shown.
The members 95 forming a cooperating pair of guide members are positioned on opposite sides of each of the pressure or friction members 30, as shown in FIG. 1. Such members 95 of each pair are provided with curved flanges 99 which extend outwardly toward the reader in FIG. 1 and axially inwardly in FIG. 2. The opposing members 95 of each pair thereof have the inner surfaces thereof lying on a cylinder which substantially coincides with the circular cylindrical peripheral surface 161 of the respective pressure or friction member 30. Thus the flanges 99 of each cooperating pair of guide members form an accurate bearing for its pressure member 30, such bearing aiding the flat diaphragm springs 49 and 52 in maintaining the pressure members 30 normal to the portions 26 of the plates 20, 20 and in resisting the torque thrust imposed upon such pressure members by portions 26 of plates 20, 20' when the pressure members are advanced into forceful engagement with the plates.
Although only one embodiment of the invention has been illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the foregoing specification, it is to be especially understood that various changes, such as in the relative dimensions of the parts, materials used, and the like, as well as the suggested manner of use of the apparatus of the invention, may be made therein Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as will now be apparent to those skilled in the art.

This idea to open a Yogurt Shop was decided upon by Shlomy and Resa Eshed after doing some market research on what type of business will be most successful in the twin-island of Trinidad and Tobago. They are optimistic that such a venture would be very successful in this country because of the combination of the warm climate, relatively low competitive threat and high market demand . EXECUTIVE SUMMARY My Yogurt Shoppe will develop and operate a licensed yogurt shop in the twin island of Trinidad and Tobago. It will sell and market a variety of frozen yogurt styles and flavours with natural fruit toppings and artificial flavours and will be served in cups and cones. The yogurt will be purchased from a quality local vendor in bulk and the natural toppings will be sourced from various local suppliers to ensure freshness of fruit. The first shop will be located in one of the 3 major malls in Trinidad, Trincity Mall (located in NorthEast Trinidad), The Falls (located in NorthWest Trinidad-most affluent area) or Grand Bazaar (located in East Trinidad). These malls were chosen as they are situated in very central areas of the country, close to many freeways and access roads and therefore serve many communities as well as attract persons from all over the country. The primary customers will be drawn from the malls trade area population of approximately 20,000 – 30,000 people daily. Customers shopping the plaza or just visiting as a means of recreation will purchase the products offered by My Yogurt Shoppe on an impulse basis, or a dessert treat after completing a meal at the Food Courts of the respective malls. My Yogurt Shoppe also anticipates that many patrons will make the shop their primary destination due to the name recognition and product quality. As far as market research to date has shown although each mall has some type of ice cream there is no frozen yogurt shop located in any of the malls or even in the wider country of Trinidad and Tobago. Hence, My Yogurt Shoppe will be the first of its kind. Revenue from the shop will primarily be from the sale of frozen yogurt in different sizes and other related products that will appeal to the market. My Yogurt Shoppe will also sell a series of hot and cold drinks to augment its primary product line of frozen yogurt. 3 The Manager of the shop will be a local partner who will share x% of the profits and therefore manage the daily operations of the business. The Esheds will oversee the overall running of the business and will make frequent trips to Trinidad to ensure that the business objectives of the stated are being met. In addition, approximately 2 other persons will be hired to work on a full- time basis at the Shop since mall hours are usually from 10am-7pm, except during major holidays like Christmas. However, concessions will be made to hire other part-time employees on an "as needed" basis when the occasion arises. Project costs are projected to be US$200,000 which includes leasehold improvements for beginning operations, equipment purchases, opening inventory and working capital needs. The Esheds are seeking to finance this project through personal investment and partnership agreements with potential investors. Based on a preliminary timetable as well as availability of rental space in the malls, it is anticipated that the shop can be open for business by 1 February, 2010.

Projected Sales – Year 1 Sales Break Even Principals Shlomy Eshed, Resa Gooding-Eshed 14 Nitsan Street, Or Yehuda, Israel. Other Investors 4 THE MARKET The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is located most southerly of all islands in the Caribbean. It consists of two islands, Trinidad being the larger and more capital-intensive island, and Tobago being the smaller and more touristic island. Its population is the 5th largest in the Caribbean consisting of 1.5 million people and it is the leading Caribbean produce of oil and gas and now supplies US with 70% of its LNG imports. With its thriving economy and cultural diversity, relatively high per capita income ($9,003), limited agricultural production, fairly open trade regime, English as the official language and strong U.S. influences, Trinidad and Tobago has proven to be an excellent and steady market for international food and beverage imports. The food service and retail food sectors are vibrant commercial areas, driven by a growing economy and middle class, an increasing population, and more women working outside the home. In a typical year the country imports $184 million worth of consumer food products, of which 30% is destined for the food sector and the remainder for the retail sector. The Cuisine style is varied as the country's culture and once can find almost any kind of food ranging from Chinese, Caribbean, Creole, Indian, American, French, etc ., available from 600 traditional restaurants and 285 fast food eateries. In addition, the population is seen to consume a large proportion of dairy products especially in the form as treats such as milk drinks and ice-cream making the success of a frozen yogurt business inevitable as the market craves for a unique product of this caliber -healthy yet tasty . Research has shown that the purchase of a frozen yogurt and related products is basically an impulse-type purchase by a consumer relating to one of the following stimuli: 1. Passing by the Shop on the way to another destination, 2. Visual contact with the Shop's signs or products, 3. Observing someone else consuming one of the Shop's products 4. The final course (desert) after a meal has been consumed elsewhere. Locating the Shop in one of these major malls gives the business the opportunity to take advantage of all of the above mentioned ways which motivate the consumer to purchase the products offered. 1. PASSING BY THE SHOP – The 3 malls listed previously is comprised of the best known, nationally recognized retail stores and outlets. This unique blend of these operations draws a large cross-section of the population to the Mall for a variety of goods and services. My Yogurt Shoppe will be 5 a 40-50 square feet store located at a strategic point of the mall, preferably closest to the Food Court of the chose mall. This location is highly preferred as it is closest to the main entrances of the malls, it connects shoppers with lower and upper levels of the mall and is often located between the main parking areas and the entrances of the malls, requiring all patrons entering from the main parking area to pass directly in front of Food Court. Additionally, it is well within walking distance from any point of the mall in 5 minutes or less. Therefore because of this location many patrons will pass through the Food Court on the way to and from another store, making it convenient for an impulse purchase. 2. VISUAL CONTACT FROM THE SHOP'S SIGNS Signage will be planned for the Shop in two locations. Large, colourful signs will be located at the front of the store, making them visible from the Food Court or at certain points of the mall. And depending on the eventual mall that is chosen signage can be negotiated with management to be placed on different levels or entrances of the malls. Nevertheless, the location that will be eventually chosen will be that which has the greatest foot traffic and in Trinidad that is the Food Court. 3. OBSERVING SOMEONE ELSE CONSUMING THE PRODUCT One of the main advantages of having a relatively small dining area is that patrons will be forced to consume the product elsewhere beside the immediate premises. In addition, the wide seating area that is available in the Food Court of each of these malls ensure that when patrons consume My Yogurt treats in this location it is guaranteed to be very visible to many shoppers. Therefore it is imperative that all My Yogurt products be served in containers that display the company's logo. 4. THE FINAL COURSE (DESSERT) AFTER A MEAL HAS BEEN CONSUMED ELSEWHERE In addition, to the tremendous foot traffic generated by department stores and numerous nationally renowned shops located in these malls, My Yogurt Shoppe will be located in the Food Court or at the very least as close to the Food Court as possible. Each of the considered malls house a minimum of 15 different places to eat and they are all occupied at various times of the day. All of My Yogurt Shoppe's toppings will be displayed in a large display case at the front of the store that will be visible throughout the entire ordering process. 6 MARKETING PLAN INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The yogurt and frozen yogurt business is relatively new to Trinidad and Tobago and therefore is classified within the ice-cream industry. Therefore to analyze the frozen yogurt industry within the country it is useful to examine the ice cream industry and its potential. The ice-cream industry economic sector is the Snack and Nonalcoholic Beverages Bars. Some of the industry's quick facts are listed below: 1. More than 90 % of Trinidad and Tobago's households consume ice-cream and related frozen desserts. 2. Although exact data is not available for the production and total sales every year for this industry it has been reported by the Caribbean Basin Agricultural Trade Office (CBATO) that this industry has the most potential to succeed in the Caribbean as the country yearns for variety in the market especially with respect to healthier choices. Ice Cream is more popular than yogurt in this market as yogurt; especially frozen yogurt is a relatively new phenomenon for the local consumers. In addition, the primary customers of ice- cream range from low income to upper middle class income people while for yogurt/frozen yogurt the middle to upper middle class income people are the main consumers. Research has shown that ice cream, and by extension yogurt, is not a product that requires the customer to research the product or do price comparison but, they will try different brands. And ice-cream is usually bought just on impulse, hence the reason why location is extremely critical. Not to mention that seasons also play a large role in the consumer's buying decision and this country generally has a warm climate all year round eliminating the need to worry about this factor. MARKET SIZE Globally, the ice cream market is viewed as a growth industry and is valued in the billions of dollars. In 2005, the ice cream industry globally was worth $36.4b and expanded by more than 1.7%. Data has shown that 2010 sales in this industry is expected to reach $40.6b which is an 11% increase from 2005. Although this is not directly relevant to the local market, these vast international growth trends are typically led by the globe's leading markets. Such as the U.S. 7 market and therefore are a good parameter to measure the growth trends locally since the local market is heavily influenced by the U.S. market as mentioned previously. In order to gauge the success of opening a frozen yogurt shop in this market it is necessary to understand that globally the ice-cream industry is segmented into two primary divisions: 1) Take-home ice cream which accounts for 46.6% of global sales 2) Supermarkets and hypermarkets which account for approximately 33% of the total market value. The implication for Myougurt Shoppe is that it must establish itself as a viable location where takeout orders can be placed and picked up. Nationally, the ice cream industry and market is one of the largest and most vibrant in the Caribbean as is seen by the many successful local manufacturers and distributors (Flavorite, B's Ice Cream, Willile's Ice Cream, to name a few) and the entry of popular international franchises such as TCBY, Hagen Daazs and most recently Cold Stone Creamy. The local ice-cream market has expanded significantly in the last 10-15 years and it mirrors the segmentation and distribution characteristics of the broader international ice cream market. TARGET MARKET Currently the Caribbean overall ice cream/yogurt market is on a growth trend and the current emphasis on healthy products only makes this trend more promising for low-fat frozen yogurt served with natural toppings as it allows customers to satisfy their urges for delicious ice cream related products without compromising their diet or health concerns. As the local market is heavily influences by U.S. trends we would use the statistics available in the U.S. as local data is not available for this industry. So it is noted that in the U.S. take home products dominate the industry at 66% of the market share, while impulse ice cream has 14%, artisanal ice cream 10% and frozen yogurt 9%. Hence Myogurt Shoppe's unique product format and healthy yogurt materials ensure that the enterprise can compete with the impulse and artisan ice cream segments but because of the sheer size of the take home market, My Yogurt simply cannot ignore developing distribution channels and relationships with other businesses that can form unique marketing alliances for its products. MARKETING OBJECTIVES 8 My Yogurt Shoppe will adhere to the following marketing objectives in designing its ongoing marketing and sales strategies: 1. To bring in at least 250 people with each promotion. 2. Have 1000 people sign up for its customer loyalty program the first 12 months of operations. 3. To meet first year sales projections for both revenue and product unit sales. Sales are forecast to exceed $150k the first year of operations based on forecasted demand and the following sales forecast provides the basis for My Yogurt's marketing objectives: SALES 2010 2011 2012 RATIO % Cone Yogurt Small cup yogurt Medium cup yogurt Large cup Yogurt Coffee/Snacks Total Sales DIRECT COST OF SALES DIRECT COST OF SALES 2010 2011 2012 Cone Yogurt Small cup yogurt Medium cup yogurt Large cup yogurt Coffee/Snacks Sub Direct Cost of Sales 9 PRODUCTS/SERVICES My Yogurt will purchase the highest quality frozen yogurt products from a local provider. Myogurt will sell and market both regular yogurts as well as low fat yogurt products. Additionally, Myogurt will have a variety of natural toppings as well as artificially flavoured toppings ranging from local fruits to imported snacks that can be served as a topping. PRICING STRATEGY The following table details My Yogurt's initial price menu although prices are subject to change dependent on suppliers and market events. In addition, it is based on an average of the various sizes and/or portions: Table 2. My Yogurt Shoppe Pricing Schedule PRODUCT UNIT PRICE ($) UNIT PRICE IN LOCAL CURRENCY (TTD) Yogurt Cones $1.50 $9.00 Yogurt Cups (small) $3.00 $18.00 Yogurt Cups (medium) $5.00 $30.00 Yogurt Cups (large) $8.00 $48.00 Coffee by the cup $1.25 $7.50 PROMOTION STRATEGY My Yogurt Shoppe will focus its initial marketing campaign on developing strong word of mouth advertising through a variety of initial marketing activities designed to create marketing buzz: Grand Opening: The Grand Opening will last a week and will consist of press releases to the local radio stations and newspapers and give-aways on their programmes. Additionally, Myogurt Shoppe will offer a prized give-away for the 500th customer as well as a host of printed take- aways such as pens, pencils or T-Shirts. Customer Loyalty Program: My Yogurt will provide customer loyalty cards to every patron that will be stamped each time a purchase is made. The customers will receive a frozen yogurt cone 10 on their 6th visit and a frozen yogurt cup on their 10th visit. This program will create the means by which Myogurt can gain regular customers who tend to spend more time in-store when redeeming free product cards in the same manner that gift cards in other retail outlets generate higher sales. There will also be a location on the customer loyalty card where the customer can fill out his or her email address and phone no. Additional Incentives: 1) My Yogurt will ask customers to fill out their birthday details on a membership form so they can receive 25% - 50 % discounts on their birthdays from the shop. 2) In addition, text messages/emails can be sent to random customers offering them discounts on special days like buy one get one free or similar incentives. 3) Myogurt will partner with popular radio stations and newspapers to offer giveaways on select programmes to their listeners or readers. PROMOTIONAL BUDGET PROMOTIONS $ Newspaper Advertisements Store Signage Grand Opening Public Relations (Give-a-ways/samples) Total budget DISTRIBUTION /PLACEMENT STRATEGY The distribution on My Yogurt's products will take place entirely from the single location that is selected for the operation's site. The site will be at a popular mall located centrally in the country that is close to major highways, near a major residential area, and adjacent to existing businesses. COMPETITOR ANALYSIS The following competitor analysis examines several national competitors. Although Myogurt will be a small operation with a single location, it will be competing against many large international and national franchises as well as localized ice cream shops within the mall selected. However, 11 most of the competition will be in the form of ice cream shops and not frozen yogurt shops as there is no single yogurt operator in Trinidad and Tobago. Largest National Ice Cream Manufacturers and Distributors (Flavorite Foods Ltd., Willie's Ice Cream, B's Ice Cream, Dairy Bar Ice Cream Ltd.,) STRENGTHS 1) All of these manufacturers are well known, well established franchaises that have a strong local and regional presence. 2) They have national and regional brand recognition in almost every market. 3) They sell their products wholesale to top supermarkets, restaurants and other eateries. 4) Most of them have their own retail stores located throughout the country. (Flavorite's products are strictly available wholesale and they own their own retail distribution line which are individuals pedaling the products through communities). WEAKNESSES 1) For each of them their major product line is ice cream and not yogurt. 2) They do not usually have retail outlets in the malls. International Franchises Operating in Trinidad and Tobago (TCBY, Hagen Daaz, Stone Cold Creamy) STRENGTHS 1) They are all very well known to the local market and have strong brand recognition. 2) They have a wide variety of products and flavours, e.g. ice cream, sorbet, frozen snacks, etc. 3) They have retail stores set up within malls and shopping plazas. 4) Their products are sold within their retail outlets as well as distributed through the top local supermarket chains. WEAKNESSES 1) Their products are usually very highly priced which is above the average market prices. 12 2) They do not have yogurt as their major product line. Indirect competition for the yogurt industry would be desserts served at restaurants and food courts eateries such as pies, cakes and pastries. SWOT ANALYSIS (STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATHS ANALYSIS) My Yogurt's primary market strengths are its focus on frozen yogurt products instead of trying to establish itself in major product lines. By focusing on a single primary product line that does not yet exist in the market My Yogurt is offering itself the most opportunity for success. Another strength is that My Yogurt shop will be the first of its kind in the market and will give consumers a healthy alternative to the regular ice cream and its related products that are currently available. The primary weakness for My Yogurt is the fact that the owners will not reside in Trinidad and Tobago full time and therefore have to rely on a partnership agreement with a local resident or hire a manager (either Israeli or local) to handle the day-to-day operations of the business. Another weakness is that the primary owners have relatively low marketing and managerial experience in the private industry and this therefore creates a potentially difficult situation for them and their business should the market become more competitive over time. The primary opportunity for My Yogurt is the fact that Trinidad and Tobago has a hot weather climate virtually all year around. And although there is a rainy season that cools down the hot days the temperature is still relatively warm. Another opportunity is the fact that currently there are no other suppliers in the market that specializes in providing only frozen yogurt products. The primary threat to My Yogurt's ongoing viability is the low-carb or low-fat trend in some segments of the market. Current health trends indicate that while some market segments are increasingly willingly to pay for premium products, others are increasingly monitoring their carbohydrate and fat intake. Therefore if My Yogurt does not emphasize the use of its low fat yogurt products in all of its advertising and marketing collateral, it runs the risk of alienating its market. TOWS STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT The following TOWS matrix (threats, opportunities, weaknesses, strengths) reveals how My Yogurt should base it's forward strategies by maximizing strengths to take advantages of opportunities and minimize weaknesses in order to avoid market threats. 13 TOWS MATRIX STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES Opportunity: Increasingly Opportunity: Growing health conscious population / Weakness: public/Strength: Naturally low higher product fat content de- fat products emphasized THREATS Threats: Increasing obesity Threats: Competitor products rates / Strengths: fulfilling & lower price points / products & health conscious Weakness: Myogurt cannot yogurt products compete on price but must create value in service & quality metrics. FORWARD STRATEGY & FUTURE OUTLOOK Myogurt will focus on growing its single location to profitability and use it to establish brand recognition throughout the country by measures revenue targets year after year. These measured growth targets ensure that the quality of service and frozen yogurt never drops while still supporting the local community and increasing revenues and profits. After 6 months of operation, given that the first store has achieved its revenue targets, plans to establish a 2nd outlet in another location, either in Trinidad or the sister isle Tobago, will be considered. The principals hope to establish a total of at least 3 major locations in Trinidad and Tobago within the first 3 yrs of operations and then consideration will be given to expanding to other Caribbean territories. Current research reveals that the ice cream industry market will continue expanding over the next three to five years. And this type of industry growth combined with the local and regional population's projected growth and expansion indicate that Myogurt will not only be successful but that it will be able to establish itself prior to any serious competitive threat that can enter the market and undermine its sales growth strategy. OPERATIONAL PLAN 14 My Yogurt will not manufacture its own frozen yogurt products but rather will import the powder consistency and purchase a local yogurt, fruits and other artificial toppings from wholesale suppliers. Thus its product processes will consist of storing, opening, using a yogurt machine, displaying products, serving them and processing payments. Inventories will be ordered and received bi-weekly in order to avoid inventory build-up and to supply fresh products to My Yogurt patrons. LOCATION Myogurt has not yet selected a specific location but serious consideration is being given to establishing the outlet in a popular mall as these malls are located near large residential areas and established businesses, as well as by major highways and roads. In addition, it also eliminates the need to hire a private security company as the malls provide security to the entire premises. INVENTORIES Inventories will consist primarily of supplies related to Myogurt's products. These consist of cones, cups, spoons as well as storage bins for the fruit toppings and artificial toppings. Additionally Myogurt will maintain a 3 day supply of its frozen yogurt products in order to ensure customer satisfaction metrics are maintained. Because most of the product suppliers will be local these inventories can be replenished twice weekly. SUPPLIERS There is no one local yogurt supplier that has been contracted as yet but consideration is being given to several, Pax House, Mt. St. Benedict, Gelato and other smaller cottage –type industries. Further investigation needs to be done to see which supplier has the production capacity to meet all of Myogurt's potential supply needs. EXIT STRATEGIES Myogurt fully expects to stay operational and financially solvent. However, at times this is not a feasible reality due to market conditions and other unexpected events that can occur within the economy and/or industry. In such circumstances, the company will adhere to several strategies that will allow it to liquidate its business and business assets in a fashion that best suits the particular circumstances: 15 1. Sale of the Business to a 3rd party. 2. Liquidation of assets including industry contacts 3. Bankruptcy 4. Simple closure of business COMPANY STRUCTURE & OWNERSHIP My Yogurt will be a partnership owned by the investors but managed by Shlomy and Resa Eshed. A local partner may be recruited and in this case he will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the business but the Esheds are primarily responsible of ensuring that the business objectives stated therein are achieved. CORE MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL Investors – The Esheds are seeking to attract at least one other business partner in this venture to meet the financial obligations of establishing and running Myogurt. Managers – Myogurt will be part-owned and managed by Shlomy and Resa Eshed who will also be responsible for setting up and providing/sourcing the finances necessary to establish and run the business. Counter Supervisor – A counter supervisor will be hired in order to do the scheduling and daily management for the counter personnel and staff. ROLES & RESPONISBILITIES Investors - The investors will not necessarily be involved in the day-to-day operations of the business but will be called upon for advice and will be included in all financial, legal and marketing decisions made for the business. Managers – The Esheds will not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the business but will be responsible for the ultimate decisions made for the business, example marketing strategies and alliances as well as any legal matters of the business. Counter Supervisor – The counter supervisor will handle all of the scheduling of the part-time counter staff as well as on-going human resource issues related to discipline and training. 16 SALARY STRUCTURE The following table illustrates My Yogurt's personnel plan for the first 3 years of operations.
