The Ragdoll is actually a cat breed with blue eyes and a unique colorpoint coat. It is actually a large and muscular semi-longhair cat which has a gentle and silky coat. Made by American breeder Ann Baker, it's best noted for its docile and placid temperament and affectionate mother nature. The name "Ragdoll" is derived from the inclination of people with the unique breeding inventory to go limp and calm when picked up. Specially well known in both equally the united kingdom and also the breed's native Usa, ragdoll cats usually are called "dog-like cats" or "puppy-like cats" due to behaviors like their inclination to stick to people about, their simplicity at getting bodily dealt with, as well as their relative not enough aggression towards other animals. You'll be able to go to my good friend to receive Ragdoll Kittens below. We have been functioning on establishing our 100% Traceable Original Pedigree breeding plan for the last two years. We knew that rescue cats and free-flying birds could live collectively successfully from our expertise with our previous two cats, who had been both abandoned as young kittens. Please take time to view our photo gallery's, with pictures of our a lot loved cats and kittens past and present. My kittens are fed raw meats (chicken, lamb, beef mince) cat tucker time, fish (raw or cooked) and Professional biscuits. We are a small hobby breeder dedicated to raising fantastic ragdoll cats and kittens.
A ragdoll was brought it for an uri (and i recently found out she has asthma) and I fell in love with her and adopted her. The vet can test for pregnancy hormones, or draw a conclusion by palpating the abdomen they might even be capable to inform you how several kittens to anticipate by feeling for heads or performing an ultrasound! He mentioned it could be from an upper respiratory infection which is very typical for kittens to have. Our cats are bartonella negative and ringworm free of charge, and our kittens are guaranteed totally free from internal and external parasites at the time of sale.
I favor tiny scale Ragdoll breeders with no much more than 1 male and four females, the much less animals you have generally means that they will be much more healthful and with much less animals means that the breeder can devote more time into their breeders and kitten litters.
I do show my Ragdoll cats and kittens as this is a wonderful and important studying tool a cat breeder can use to keep with the ragdoll common and be confident that the great character is there. Rosa is a stunning Seal Colourpoint Mink Female Ragdoll kitten that was born on four/29/2016. TICA registered Ragdoll Kittens are safe to own and they have completed all the vaccines currently. This must serve as a painting is more energetic as a kitten and as an adult is that all cats Ragdoll be. Raising a puppy also have an effect on how it behaves for the rest of his life, and that goes for Ragdoll cats.

Achieving compelling value from information technology is critical because IT is typically an enterprise or government agency's largest capital expense. Increasing business complexities and technology choices create greater demands for justification when making IT investments.
Cambridge, MA-based analyst firm Forrester Research recently reported that, "Business and government's purchases of computer and communication equipment, software, IT consulting, and integration services and IT outsourcing will decline by 3% on a global basis in 2009 when measured in U.S. dollars, then rise by 9% in 2010."
With smaller budgets, IT must validate purchases by correlating tangible business and IT returns that align with corporate strategic objectives. This validation should come early in the acquisition process as well as after the implementation to demonstrate actual value and justify expanded adoption.
Evaluating data virtualization first requires understanding how it specifically delivers value. This understanding can then be used to calculate value and provide the hard metrics required for hard economic times.
Data Virtualization
Data virtualization is used to integrate data from multiple disparate sources - anywhere across the extended enterprise - for consumption by front-end business solutions, including portals, mashups, reports, applications, and search engines (see Figure 1).
Source: Composite Software, Inc.
Figure 1 Data virtualization at a glance
As middleware technology, data virtualization or virtual data federation has advanced beyond high-performance query or enterprise information integration (EII). As IT architecture, data virtualization is implemented as a virtualized data layer, an information grid, an information fabric, or a data services layer in service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments. It can also be deployed on a project basis, for business intelligence (BI) and reporting, portals and mashups, and industry-focused single views.
Data Virtualization's Five Value Points
The many ways data virtualization delivers value to business functions and IT operations can be categorized as:
- Sales Growth
- Risk Reduction
- Time Savings
- Technology Savings
- Staff Savings
Converting these to hard metrics requires an understanding of the relationships between specific data virtualization capabilities and the IT and business value they deliver. Value calculations are made using one or more forms of return-on-investment (ROI) calculators. Examples of the five value points and their metrics along with actual customer case studies are provided below.
Sales Growth
As an important indicator of an enterprise's success (or, in the public sector, as an indicator of service growth or mission effectiveness), sales growth results from business strategies such as improved offerings, better customer support, and faster market response. Data virtualization supports these strategies by providing data federation, on-demand data access and delivery, and automated data discovery and modeling.
More Complete Data
Data federation capabilities enable the integration of disparate data on-the-fly without physical data consolidation, making more complete data available to revenue-producing and customer-facing staff for better sales-related business decisions. Hard metrics include:
- The number of decisions within the project's scope
- The revenue-enhancing value of improving each decision based on the availability of more complete data
An energy provider used data federation to increase oil production from its 10,000 wells. The data included complex surface, subsurface, and business data in high volumes from many disparate sources. The data virtualization solution federated actionable information to automate maintenance and repair decisions made throughout the day, while relieving key resources for other value-adding tasks. This increased both staff and repair rig productivity, which were key factors in the 10% increase achieved in well revenue performance and efficiency.
Fresher Data
Data virtualization's on-demand data access and delivery capabilities reach difficult-to-access data and deliver it to consuming applications in near real-time. Fresher data means more timely and accurate decision-making, often yielding sales growth. The hard metrics include:
- The number of decisions in the project's scope
- The revenue-enhancing value of improving each decision based on the availability of more timely data
A leading marketing information company used on-demand data access and delivery to grow sales by providing its large consumer goods clients with more timely access to its huge collection of consumer trends and demand information. The data virtualization layer enabled simplified and rapid development of the real-time queries required by the customers' self-service reporting tools. This capability was the key factor behind a 2% increase in revenue.
Quicker Time-to-Solution
Data virtualization's automated data discovery and rapid modeling capabilities reduce the time typically wasted on searching for relationships among data tables. These capabilities automate many of the detailed modeling and validation activities. With quicker time-to-solution, new sales-impacting applications and their associated revenues are available sooner. The hard metrics include:
- The number of months the project can be delivered earlier
- The revenue-enhancing value associated with each month where value was accelerated
An investment bank used data discovery and modeling to increase revenues by improving its trade order management, debt/equity market research, and risk management applications. The abstracted data layer in the SOA environment enabled rapid modeling and complex query creation that was shareable across the bank. The resulting 60% reduction in integration design and development time on revenue-enabling applications and portals contributed to a 2% revenue increase at the bank.
Risk Reduction
Risk reduction has become increasingly important as a result of greater complexity and regulation. Becoming more agile in response to risk, improving predictability in light of risk, and ensuring compliance with changing regulations and reporting mandates are a few of the strategies to reduce risk. Data virtualization supports these strategies through its data federation, on-demand data access and delivery, and data discovery and modeling capabilities.
These data virtualization capabilities and IT benefits are similar to those driving sales growth. However, for risk reduction, the business benefit is better risk visibility and faster problem remediation. In both cases, quicker time-to-solution helps get new or improved applications online faster. However, in the case of risk reduction, these might be applications for risk management or compliance reporting, rather than sales or customer management.
More Complete Data
Data federation provides more complete data to risk and compliance management staff, thereby improving data visibility and reducing overall risk. The hard metrics include:
- The number of risk decisions in the project's scope
- The risk reduction value of improving each decision based on the availability of more complete data
A global pharmaceutical company used data federation to shorten lengthy R&D cycles and reduce the risk of new product delays. Its Research Scientists' Workbench solution combined disparate structured and semi-structured research data from across the enterprise. Armed with more complete information, researchers were able to resolve problems faster, resulting in 60% fewer new product delays.
Fresher Data and Quicker Time-to-Solution
Data virtualization's on-demand data access and delivery capabilities improve the timeliness of data so risk issues can be remediated faster. Data virtualization's automated discovery and modeling accelerates new risk management and compliance reporting application development, thereby delivering their associated risk-reducing benefits sooner.
Time Savings
New information systems must deliver the data needed while reducing the latency between business event and response. So IT is under constant pressure to provide these new systems and their associated information more quickly. Strategies for saving development and deployment time as well as decreasing data latency are crucial. Data virtualization supports these strategies by providing a data services library; installation wizard, manager and clustering; and query optimization capabilities.
Less New Code, Greater Reuse
The data services library holds complete collections of reusable views and data services. By using these existing objects, the need for new coding efforts is lessened, permitting greater reuse across multiple applications. This saves project development time for both new applications and existing ones when changes are needed. The hard metrics include:
- The number of views or services planned
- The savings per view or service
- The percentage reuse factor for a specified time frame
A major investment bank wanted to build new applications faster, but it couldn't because key reference data, such as counter-party accounts, was duplicated across multiple applications. Other than slowing development, this proliferation contradicted good banking practices and data governance. The bank shaved 25% off its average development time by creating a shared data services library to house Web Services for sharing counter-party master reference data.
Easy Installation and Reliable Operation
Various installation wizards along with manager and clustering capabilities accelerate and automate the installation and runtime of data virtualization solutions. As a result, new solutions are deployed faster. The hard metrics include:
- The number of months a project can be delivered earlier
- The assignable value associated with each month the value was accelerated
A leading life sciences R&D organization needed to quickly prototype, develop, and deploy the new information solutions required to support strategic decisions by business executives. It used data virtualization to build and deploy virtual data marts in support of multiple data consumers including Microsoft SharePoint, Business Objects Business Intelligence, TIBCO Spotfire, Microsoft Excel, and various Web portals. This resulted in a 90% reduction in the time required to deploy new information sets.
High-Performance Data Delivery
Data virtualization's query optimization and caching capabilities help eliminate data latencies, speeding the delivery of critical information to users and applications, thereby shortening the time between business events and response.
A North American telecom chip maker targeted faster responses to customer requests. To do this, its sales force management analytics required up-to-the-minute data from the packaged Salesforce.com CRM application as well as other systems. The manufacturer used data virtualization to optimize query performance, ultimately cutting average report runtimes from four minutes to 30 seconds or less.
Technology Savings
Just as storage, server, and applications' virtualization have demonstrated huge technology savings, data virtualization has proven to provide similar savings by requiring fewer physical data repositories along with the systems required to operate and manage them. Many users find that these technology infrastructure savings alone justify the investment. This is frequently a natural place to start a data virtualization deployment.
Fewer Physical Repositories, Lower Hardware, Software, and Facilities Costs
Data virtualization doesn't require replication in intermediate physical data repositories. Fewer physical data marts and operational data stores mean less supporting hardware and software. This, in turn, means less rack space, electricity, air conditioning, management software, and other facilities' costs. The hard metrics include:
- The number of servers reduced due to virtual federation rather than physical consolidation
- The assignable hardware, software, and facilities cost associated with each server
A leading computer maker wanted to reduce the cost of its supply chain and customer management operational BI applications, which included more than 50 intermediate data marts. Each mart required a server, resulting in lifecycle hardware infrastructure costs of $20,000 each. It used data virtualization to provide a virtual supply chain data hub that replaced the physical data marts. This resulted in $1 million in infrastructure cost savings.
Staff Savings
The cost of internal and outsourced staff is typically the largest IT expenditure. Substituting automated tools for labor is one strategy for cutting staffing costs. Increasing existing staff productivity by improving SDLC processes is another. Simplifying the work to employ lower-skilled (and therefore less costly) staff is a third. Data virtualization supports these strategies by delivering a user-friendly GUI development environment, along with automated data discovery and data services library capabilities.
Fewer Skills Required
Data virtualization's GUI development environment simplifies and automates the detailed design and development work that would otherwise require more technically capable staff. Enterprises find they spend less money on expensive consultants. Enterprises also find that they can redeploy their highly skilled staff to other more critical work. The hard metrics include:
- The number of consulting staff hours being reduced
- The cost per hour
A global money manager wanted to reduce the effort required by 100 financial analysts who build the complex portfolio models used by fund managers. Its solution was to build a virtualization layer surrounding the warehouse to abstract away the complexity of the underlying data. This simplification resulted in a financial analyst productivity increase of 25%, allowing many to be redeployed to develop additional financial analytics useful to the firm.
Greater Collaboration
Discovery capabilities within today's data virtualization platforms quickly validate new reporting solutions with end users using live data early in the development process. Furthermore, analysts and data designers can transfer models to application developers and operations teams to complete the process. This encourages team collaboration and helps reduce rework. The hard metrics include:
- The number of hours saved
- The cost per hour
The same global money management firm cited above wanted to improve the collaboration of its 100 financial analysts. Many of its financial models relied on similar data and data models, but technology hindered these analysts from effectively sharing their work. A common virtualization layer over the financial research data warehouse provided the financial analysts with reusable data views that could be shared for the first time. In addition, IT provided a dedicated DBA and data architect who created the new views as needed. The improved collaboration resulted in higher portfolio returns and a 150% ROI in six months.
Metrics for Hard Times
By understanding the specific contributing value factors of data virtualization, C-level executives and IT managers can more easily calculate both the estimated and actual value of each data virtualization implementation under consideration, be it architecture or project. The resulting hard metrics that clearly contribute to enterprise-wide goals arm budget decision makers with the data they need to make confident decisions in hard economic times.

Skoda's Fabia finds fame online
Skoda's latest TV advertising campaign is proving a hit online with over quarter of a million views in less than two weeks.
The car manufacturer's integrated campaign was kicked off with television ads showing the "baking of" the Fabia which was created by confectioners and bakers and made entirely of cakes, biscuits and sweets.
Integrating the offline campaign with online is a series of baking-themed banner ads which link through to a dedicated microsite. The banner ads appear on sites such as Top Gear, Times Online and AOL.
After just under two weeks over 37,000 people have visited the Skoda Fabia's microsite via which test drives can be booked, the making of the ad can be viewed and Fabia brochures downloaded. The popular ad, which has even been featured on the front page of a Czech tabloid, has spread virally across the internet and has already attracted over 260,000 views on YouTube.
A website address is noticeably absent from the television ads, but why?
"We didn't put the URL on the TV ad as we felt it lost the feeling of the ad," said Skoda account director Damien Boss. "So we were extra creative in our executions and made it easy for users of our main portal to link through to the campaign site."

Up for sale today is the Lionel #1872 - "The General" steam engine and tender. This engine was made famous by James J. Andrews and a group of Union spies who stole it in an effort to burn bridges and tunnels between Atlanta and Chattanooga. "The General" became famous following the release of the 1956 Disney movie.
This engine was offered as a super O version during 1959-1962. This version has an operating headlight, magnetraction, three position E unit, and a powerful smoke unit that produces volumes of smoke (see pictures). The engine runs great and changes direction smoothly.
The engine and tender have minor playwear. There is a small chip on the front cow catcher and a chip on the tender edge (see photos). They are small and barely noticeable when the engine is running. The engine needs the decorative piping on the cab roof leading to the sand dome. The pipingis available at any parts supplier.
This engine and tender grade C-6.
This is your chance to own a very desirable Lionel engine that is a model of the full size General which is on display at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Product is exactly what the picture shows. True grey color. I was nervous with the L/XL sizing not being very descriptive but the measurements were spot on. Fits my husband's large head perfectly. My husband liked it so much he bought one for his buddy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After a 9-week long social media campaign, I gave this presentation in class. We were tasked with creating and executing a social media campaign of any of our choosing. I decided to go with something a little tongue in cheek and have a bit of fun with it - while learning the best practices of running a social media campaign along the way.

Arizona state 98, usc 93 (OT)
TEMPE, Ariz. When former NBA player Antoine Walker was once asked why he took so many 3-pointers, he said, "Because there are no 4s."
That might have been on USC's mind in a 98-93, overtime loss to Arizona State on Thursday at Wells Fargo Arena. USC took a whopping 28 shots from behind the arc, making 15 — including two panicky ones in the final 13 seconds to send the game to overtime.
That well dried up in overtime.
ASU outscored USC, 13-5, as the Trojans (8-12, 3-4 Pac-12) took only two shots from behind the arc, and one of those was a desperation heave to beat the shot clock.
That was by design, according to point guard Jio Fontan.
"We wanted to try to get to the basket as much as we could," said Fontan, who finished with a team-high 25 points. "We knew we were in the bonus, and least 1-and-1, and we just wanted to put ourselves in position to get some easy baskets."
The problem was, the Sun Devils (15-4, 4-2) didn't slow down at all. Evan Gordan and Jonathan Gilling each scored five points in overtime to propel ASU. Gordon finished with 28 to lead all scorers.
"We have to tighten up our defense," USC interim coach Bob Cantu said. "You can't give up 98 on the road and expect to win."
Most wouldn't have expected USC to force overtime in the first place.
Down five with 13 seconds left in regulation, Trojans guard J.T. Terrell hit a bomb from NBA distance to pull the Trojans to 84-82. USC fouled to stop the clock, and ASU's Carrick Felix made just 1 of 2 shots at the line.
USC scrambled to the other end, where Fontan got of a twisting, off-balance 3-pointer that tied the score with 0.3 of a second left in regulation.
"We actually drew up a play to try to get it back to J.T," Fontan said. "After I got past half court, I just saw the time winding down. I stopped and did like a 360 pivot looking to get it to him, but just couldn't find him."
That was really the Trojans' third comeback.
Trojans miscues — an unforced turnover by Terrell and a technical foul on Eric Wise — helped open a nine-point Sun Devils lead with 2:51 left. But poor free-throw shooting by ASU kept USC in the game. The Sun Devils made just 5 of 8 down the stretch to keep the door open.
USC kept possessions alive with six offensive rebounds in the final three minutes to pave the way for Fontan's tying 3-pointer.
Terrell added 20 points and Wise had 19 and 10 rebounds for the Trojans. Byron Wesley added 15 points.
ASU also had four players in double figures, with redshirt freshman point guard Jahii Carson's 21 supporting Gordon.
Despite Gordon's gaudy numbers, Carson was the biggest terror for the Trojans. He had just four points and four assists at the half, but scored 17 second-half points and added four more assists after halftime.
When Carson sat the final 3:45 of the first half with two fouls, USC went on a 13-5 run to tie the score, 42-42, at halftime.
When Fontan re-entered the game in the final few minutes of the second half with four fouls, he couldn't guard Carson the way he wanted to.
"I wanted to guard him," he said, "but I couldn't be as physical as I wanted to."
