|Abstract (eng):
|We analyze an extension of the classical multi-period, single-item, linear cost inventory problem where the objective function is a coherent risk measure. Properties of coherent risk measures allow us to offer a unifying treatment of risk averse and min-max type formulations. For the single period newsvendor problem, we show that the structure of the optimal solution of the risk averse model is similar to that of the classical expected value problem. For a finite horizon dynamic inventory model, we show that, again, the optimal policy has a similar structure as that of the expected value problem. This result carries over even to the case when there is a fixed ordering cost. We also analyze monotonicity properties of the optimal order quantity with respect to the degree of risk aversion for certain risk measures.

Bake Your Own Boozy Cocktail Hamantaschen
What kind of genius came up with the idea that prunes would make a great cookie filling, to be eaten without fail once a year?
Whoever they were, they were wrong.
But have no fear! We have a new hamantaschen option for you this year, and it's as delicious as a cocktail, without the embarrassment that goes with actually being drunk at your family's Purim party.
Alison Barnett has come up with a series of cocktail-themed hamantaschen that make regular old flavors seem like a too-sweet, dry and cakey distant memory.
"[The] two main things we consume on Purim are alcohol and hamantashen. I decided to combine the two into a real fun and creative dessert," Barnett told the Forward. Her flavors include: White Russian, Tequila Sunrise, Mojito, Whiskey Sour and Cosmopolitan.
A mid-day snack tasting session by the Forward's staff saw some clear favorites emerge: Whiskey Sour, treated with suspicion at first glance because of the ominous-looking maraschino cherry embedded in the crust, was actually a surprisingly pleasant mix of almond-sugar crust and citrus filling — not too sweet, not too tangy; White Russian was, as expected, a smooth combination of Kahlua and coffee flavors (though the extra icing drizzled onto the crust was unnecessary). Finally, Tequila Sunrise packs a citrus kick strong enough to lift any remaining winter blues.
Barnett first started experimenting with the idea three years ago. This is her first year actually selling the final product (to order on Etsy, click here). $21 will get you a dozen of these goodies — try getting that deal at a bar.
According to Barnett, she's already thinking up new flavors for next year's round. Irish coffee, anyone?
Until then, try your own version of the Tequila Sunrise at home (and take a few extra sips on the side — we won't tell).
Tequila Sunrise Hamantashen
Makes 2 ½ Dozen
2 cups flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
½ cup Earth Balance or butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg (reserve the egg white for assembling the cookie)
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon orange zest (more for garnish)
Cherry-Tequila Jam Filling
1 17.5 oz. Jar of Cherry Preserves (I love Trader Joes brand because whole cherries make up most of the jelly)
2 tablespoons Tequila
Dough: Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and orange zest. Beat in flour mixture until combined. Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Filling: Mix the cherry preserves with the Tequila. If you would like stronger, add 1 more tablespoon of tequila.
Preheat oven to 375 and line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll out refrigerated dough on a lightly floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut rounds with a drinking glass, until dough is finished. Fill the rounds with the cherry-tequila jam filling and with your pinky, dip in egg white and lightly wet the edges around the hamantashen. Make the hamantashen triangle shape by folding the bottom to make two corners and folding the top to make the 3rd (requires both hands).
Bake for about 12 minutes until lightly browned.

10+ Awesome Presentations for Event Professionals
Here is a roundup of 10 inspiring Slideshare presentations every event professional should read.
Slideshare is an all time favorite of this blog. I owe a lot to this fantastic community.
I believe Slideshare is an often ignored source of incredible content. If you use social media to advance your professional skills Slideshare is an unmatched source of useful content.
Slides (at least good ones) are extremely powerful media, thanks to the synergy of words and images. Such synergy is often times hard to achieve with blog posts. Event professionals who want to be up to date wiht the latest and greates need to have a look at Slidehsare as one of the most incredible source of technical information. Sepcially if you are a corporate event manager, you will find these presentations extremely valuable.
Slideshare and #Eventprofs
There is a growing community of event professionals using Slideshare to share invaluable advice about planning, promoting and improving events.
I like to think I've been one of the first among them when I published my Event Management Template back in 2007.
25 presentations and 330,000 views later, I wanted to give you a more comprehensive overview of all the goodness going on within Slideshare. I hope more eventprofs will upload great content and that you, dear reader, will pay more attention to this valuable community.
Enough said, let's have a look at 10 great Slideshare presentations for the event and meeting industry.
1. How To Supercharge Your Event
This is presentation is by Hugh MacLeod aka Gapingvoid. MacLeod is the most popular artist drawing cartoons about the Internet and Social Media. I actually missed this great presentation, powerfully illustrated by his cartoons.
2. Fascinating Event Marketing Stats
Hubspot filled their slides with very interesting statistics about event marketing. I appreciated the different perspectives of B2B vs B2C vs Noprofit. An interesting read, still very relevant.
3. How to write a good RFP for your Event Mobile App
Lovely presentation by fellow Italian #eventprof, Stefania Conti-Vecchi aka Eventagist. She put together a great deal of tips on how to write an effective RFP for your event mobile app. She presented this at IMEX America 2012 (hint hint, see you soon there in 2013).
4. Fundraising events and social media, how to #win
Jonathan Waddingham of JustGiving, the most popular fundraising platform out there, created these terrific slides. There is a lot of product pitch in this presentation (quite obviously so) but also very effective tips on using social media to promote your fundraising event.
5. How Hotels Can Use Social Media to Attract Event Planners
This one is by your beloved editor in chief. The purpose with this presentation was to get hoteliers to speak our language. Themes like customer service, location based marketing and video are increasingly important in the hotelier/event planner interaction. This presentation is an handy guide.
6. Using Events As Content Marketing
If you plan events and don't know who Jeff Hurt is, well, you need to do some research. He usually writes for meeting planners and association planners. I like to think he writes for everyone who loves events.
7. 21 ways to boost your event
Very cool presentation by Cyriel Kortleven. He is a top master of ceremony. The emphasis here is on bosting the engagement of your audience. Cyriel shares practical tips that everyone can use to improve the audience experience.
8. Content Marketing for Events
An interesting perspective from Joe Pulizzi of the Content Marketing Institute. By looking at his own case study, he share effective tactics to drive more ticket sales.
9. Effective Social Media For Event Exhibitors
There is a growing problem with tradeshow exhibitors and social media, too much shouting. A few times I've experienced hashtag hijacking by clueless exhbitors who land the tradeshow floor wanting to 'make some noise'. This presentation is very helpful to cure all of the above.
10. 10 Event Trends for 2013
Despite the shameless self promotion stunt, I could not avoid listing 10 Event Trends for 2013. First because it got more than 70,000 views in 3 months, secondly because I am very proud of it. If you missed it earlier, here it is.

Sexiest DOTA Heroes Of All Timesapphirewhirlwind Yet another one of my useless but entertaining polls.
This time around I would like to know which among these feisty heros and villains in the hit scenario map of Warcraft 3 known as Defense Of the Ancients (DOTA for short) has the greatest amount of sex appeal in the game.
It can be the prettiest, most powerful, deadliest or whatever so long as that particular individual has a characteristic that defines them to be sexy.

Weather Is Cold but RBVL Races Heat Up
The standings are getting tighter and tighter each week with only pockets of separation showing in the eight different divisions. After four weeks, every team has at least five wins and four losses with some divisions as tight as can be.
The first positional change of the season took place in the Ocean Division with Freedhand's beating Mark's Maintenance 4-1, with two of the games going to overtime. Sugar Bowl edged out Sullivan and Galleshaw 3-2 and also included one extra-inning affair.
Casino Towing missed their steady leader, Cathy Ferro, who was home ill. But Rocky D., playing the part of Willis Reed, inspired the squad to two wins in a hard-fought battle with the Mahooshkas. Both teams scored at least 17 points in each game.
The Bungalow Bar won their customary two games and if you are keeping track, Tara V. of the Bungalow Bar is 22 and one week old. Next week she will be 22 and 2 if you are keeping score at home.
The Bar-anhas are now the favorite to take home the party team of the year award since the Rockaway Breakers may lose the services of last year's party star, Rusty. He's not feeling the love from his teammates on the court. Rusty may boycott the awards dinner to teach them a lesson. Stay tuned.
Donna was Robin Shapiro's superstar on the court by leading the team to four wins over Bar 13 NYC along with the help of cooler captains Pat and Jacqueline.
However Donna earned her MVP title with her work back at the Harbor Light. She was able to hold onto four barstools for her teammates, which was way more important than the four wins (1 bar stool per win?). Thanks to our President Patty for her idea of subbing in on the stools. When someone left, another colleague jumped in to continue the drinking until very late Wednesday night. Let's see how Donna makes out next week getting some elbow room at the always-crowded Connolly's.
By the way, cub reporter John Sica pushed the envelope when he let one player after another cut in front of Patty as she wanted desperately to tell the Bay House Babe's story. Doesn't Sica know that she is his boss? And let's get the record straight - Denise did not yell at Steve; her voice just carries really well in the equipment room.
This week's restaurant review comes from an anonymous source that is often seen on the beach on Wednesday nights playing volleyball. That should narrow it down for you in case you are trying to guess who it is.
The review: Harbor Light's garlic bread brought me back to Sunday dinners at two in the afternoon. If anyone was late, the person got a beating with a wooden spoon- made with some Italian love, as were the meatballs which were small and filled with flavor.
The potatoes au gratin hit it over the net - so cheesy with a crunchy baked breading on top. The sausage and peppers were either slacking on the meat or some teams love sausage and hate vegetables. However, the large cut on the onions was a good choice.
The penne and broccoli really had it going on with an amazing mixture of garlic, oil, and parmesan. The roasted potatoes were oily and delicious! The BBQ chicken fell right off the bone onto your tongue where it burst with savory goodness!
Attendance has hit a high point for the 2009 season. It only promises to grow as school ends and the weather gets nicer. You're doing the league proud and making our long-time sponsors happy. We only have seven more nights left so continue to kick it into high gear.
Already there are rumors flying about bands and DJ's joining us at many of the remaining stops on tour. Start using those vacation and sick days on Thursdays like so many of our wily veterans. Speaking of sick days, Cubby will be calling in "sick" for the rest of his life in three days from the printing of this article as he is all set to retire. I'm guessing he'll be a wee bit fired up next week. Come around and help Cubby celebrate. (Not that he really needs any help celebrating.)
The Rockaway Breakers say they "suck", but John Murray thinks they are too busy "sucking" them down. The result was a 0-5 whitewash against the Social Yachty's. Sheila and Coleen say that they were the nicest team to ever sweep them. They may be "Social", but they are also good volleyball players, and good Yachty's.
Chrome Dome has been a no show; he is needed on the court. The Breakers guarantee they will come out strong next week; they will be firing on all cylinders. And some of those cylinders better be Coors Light Silver Bullets.
Kevin Gallagher is an inspiration to the team, and he will lead them to better days ahead. Especially with young John McHale, who is not only the future, but is also the anchor of the team with his hard work, enthusiasm and skill.
Sands Pont had some Night Out, losing to them 5- 0. Having young players is great, but when they leave in mid-June for college orientation, it can be hurtful. I'm sure the kids had a great time.
Even without the young collegians, the rest of the youth movement, Danielle Ford, Brendon and Neil played admirably in the losing effort. Carol was holding a clinic on the sidelines for the youths, but she never really learned the game herself. Tommy is banged up from the rock jetty's that exist just inches under the sand in Riis Park. Thank God he plays for Sands Point Physical Therapy which is a fine establishment. Plus they give him the sponsor's discount, which is nice.
Connolly's lost to a good team, Brooklyn Windows and Doors, mostly because of Steve who needs lessons from his kids to learn the finer arts of volleyball. Maybe he should change his Monday night practice to a night that doesn't rain if one could exist accord- ing to the weather man.
Big Brown, who is the former record holder for most consecutive aces, played so well they had to widen the doorways at 102-00 for his swelled head. Gabriella Reece showed up tonight on West Coast time with a wine glass in hand and her "A" game in her pocket.
EZ Company thanks Jack Weber for holding onto his gall bladder to the benefit of his teammates. Jack put off surgery over concerns that his figure would be less than a perfect hour-glass. His positive affirmations will continue for the season, unless the Paxil kicks in.
We hear Nurse Ratchet is taking his blood pressure every day. Jack should be working out with the guys from Last Call, who know how to keep their girlish figures.
Renee of Simon Says Sea Bar was the first person in volleyball history to suffer frostbite in her fingers in June. We wish her a speedy recovery in time for summer. Mr. Mack was absent at the Harbor Light because his date Leaper didn't show up. Hopefully the happy couple will be back next week.
The Bad News Bears want to give a shout out to the dirty Suns of Beaches for winning three out of fivegames. The Bears hope to see their opponent in the playoffs because they usually lose all five games.
The Bears are working their way up from the basement and statistically speaking, taking two this week is like a 67% increase for them in the standings. They are happy with new players The Edge and the Manhattanites, who are glad to be in Rockaway this summer.
It's all about fun, but the Bears want to win a few along the way, too. With a new confidence, they are optimistic about the next few weeks. It's All Good wants to know if Bugsy's speeches at the end of the games will also have a half-time version next week. The speeches go on longer than the losses and the volleys. Maybe Bugsy should have mentioned how well Tommy Last played. I guess he didn't have time.
Tom Ray has to learn how to count. It's not 1-2-3, hit. It's 1-2, then hit. The new theme for the team is let's play two. Checking back over past Wave editions, a correction needs to be made this week.
In a recent article, reporter Peggy Manahan wrote the following, "Sean Herror of the Harbor Light was the most handsome bartender in Rockaway." She obviously made a mistake. There is a bartender named Sean Heeran who works at the Harbor Light, but he is not very handsome, so it wasn't a misspelling. It must have been Pat Hurley, who not only makes a smooth Manhattan but is the bestlooking bartender behind the stick.
Average Joes had their first below "average" week of the season with a losing 2-3 record against Sets on the Beach (minus Gene Heym who got married on Saturday, good luck with that). Pete Brady brought quality, not quantity, when it came to beers. Better luck next time. Chris Gahn swung so hard at a ball that it changed the direction of the wind. Needless to say, he missed.
The Flip Cup All Stars won four games despite Coppersmiths' Jack Bradley playing in most positions while his teammates waited for the volleyballs. Coppersmiths kept every game close despite playing with only three men. The Flip Cup All Star Belt was not passed on because Kenny, the previous winner who wasn't even playing last week, forgot to bring it. By the way, Kenny served the last losing point right into the net.
An investigation was launched afterwards when a secret meeting between Kenny Kearns and Jay Butler was taped in which Kenny was given a beer for serving into the net at match point. He was also offered a substantial reward for doing it again in the playoffs. Commissioner Patty is looking into the allegations.
The spacing and locations of the net set-ups has been terrific under very trying conditions. However, the timing needs to improve. Many nets are getting set up later and later each week. That is not good. We will be losing light each week and matches are going to conclude in the dark. The refs are going to be instructed to start calling the forfeit of game 1 at 6:45 p.m. as the rules state. Get off the boardwalk and set up your net. Then you can talk and kibitz (and imbibe) all you want. We have asked you to treat our refs with respect and so far you have done a terrific job. Keep those cards and letters coming with your critiques because your comments have been very helpful to us. Keep up the good work.

Starting Tuesday an Australian artist and local volunteers will be painting 60 Sacramento trees blue.
Ray Tretheway is with the Sacramento Tree Foundation. He says the temporary art display was selected for funding to draw attention to global deforestation, "You walk by these trees on 13th and J. I walk by them ever day. You don't think about them. Well, you're going to stop dead in your tracks when they're this vibrant blue. And we have a couple of educational signs out there talking about what are these trees doing for us."
Twenty of the trees are in the ground. Forty more are in buckets and will be scattered around town.
Konstantin Dimopolous is the artist. He has also painted trees blue in Australia, Canada and Seattle.
The Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau, Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Council and Sactown Magazine are sharing the $25,000 cost of the blue-tree project.

Peabody Energy has raised its proposed takeover offer for
Under a revised and non-binding proposal, US coal giant Peabody said it would offer $14 a share for Macarthur, valuing the Brisbane-based company at $3.56 billion.
The new proposal – $1 a share more than the original made last week – came less than 24 hours after Noble, a Hong Kong-based commodities trader, slammed Peabody for jeopardising its proposed transaction with Macarthur.
Noble stands to gain a stake of about 23 per cent in Macarthur by vending its 87.7 per cent-owned
In a colourful statement released to the Singapore Stock Exchange on Monday night, Noble labelled Peabody's proposed bid as "opportunistic" and said its announcement had ruined Easter for the company's directors.
"What we would really like is for the Americans to go back home," Noble said.
"We busted our tail to put together a good, fair deal that will build a great company.
"All they are doing is trying to throw a wrench in a well thought-out deal with a check [sic] book and try and turn people's heads with a short-term payoff."
In order to "chase off" Peabody, Noble said it was considering means to reduce Macarthur's appeal. This included exercising an option to increase its stake in the Middlemount coal project in Queensland.
Macarthur now owns 70 per cent of Middlemount, but that would fall to 50 per cent if Noble elected to exercise its option. Noble also has the rights to market 100 per cent of coal from the mine, which is scheduled to start producing this year.
Peabody fended off Noble's criticism yesterday, saying it was ironic that the Singapore-listed company had painted it as a foreign raider.
"Noble Group's press release today takes an oddly personal tone, complaining of holiday work and Australian credentials," the company said.
"What it doesn't do though is lay out any convincing evidence that Noble's transaction is adequate.
"That's because Peabody's bid is clearly superior, but it would upset Noble's deal whereby [it] would acquire a significant board presence and nearly a quarter of Macarthur shares at a bargain-basement discount to the current market value."
Under the deal with Noble, Macarthur would issue shares to the commodities trader at $9.70 each. The company's stock gained 23¢ yesterday to $15.10.
Macarthur received an initial takeover proposal from Peabody last Tuesday, but chairman
"Peabody's proposal is highly conditional and does not fully value Macarthur and its significant growth prospects," Mr De Lacy said.
Macarthur, which is being advised by JPMorgan, said yesterday, however, that its directors would meet soon to discuss the merits of the revised proposal, and advised shareholders to take no action until a formal recommendation had been made.
Aside from offering a higher price, Peabody's revised proposal no longer includes securing the support of Macarthur's three largest shareholders, Citic Resources, Posco and ArcelorMittal, as a condition.
Citic owns 22.4 per cent of Macarthur, while ArcelorMittal owns 16.6 per cent and Posco 8.3 per cent.
Conditions that still apply to the proposal include Macarthur's takeover bid for Gloucester not proceeding, the satisfactory completion of limited due diligence and approval from Macarthur directors.
Peabody also requires that Macarthur confirm by no later than 7pm today the deferral of a shareholder meeting to vote on the Noble transactions scheduled for Monday.
Macquarie Equities' US-based analyst, Curt Woodworth, said in a report last week he thought Peabody would need to make a bid in the range of $15 to $16 a share to be successful in its pursuit of Macarthur.
In a related development yesterday, Noble made a takeover offer of $12.60 a share for the 12.3 per cent of Gloucester it does not own.
The offer, which values Gloucester at $950.3 million, is a contingency in case the deal with Macarthur falls through.
"In the event that the Macarthur transactions do not proceed, Noble's all-cash offer for Gloucester will provide an attractive exit opportunity for Gloucester shareholders, particularly given the lack of liquidity in the stock," Noble director William Randall said.
The takeover offer is conditional on Macarthur's bid for Gloucester not proceeding and also requires Foreign Investment Review Board approval.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I worked for SIGN*A*RAMA Corporate for 6 years, and laid off in early 2009.
My job at the signarama office was to spot low volume sales signarama franchisees and have regional managers call targeted stores. Basically, Keep harrasing or threatening store owners until they agree to sell the stores to the prospective buyer.
Why doing it to the franchisee??
SIGN*A*RAMA uses profitable stores as the good marketing tools. On the other hand, un-profitable stores was used to generate the transaction fees by turning the stores to new owners. (SIGNARAMA's hidden resale marketing fee was $20K from existing owner, and collect $40K franchise fee from new franchisee.) Just like real estate property, more transactions, more profits. SIGNARAMA did not care the royalty income compare to the income generated by resale transactions. The average turnover for new SIGNARAMA store is 3 TIMES for the period of 5 years.
If store owners did not agree to sell, SIGNRAMA just filed the lawsuit against franchisee and have them pay for signarama's attorney fees according to SIGNARAMA FRANCHISE AGREEMENT regardless of judgement. Franchisees normally file the counter claim, but it is just a breach of contratct by doing it. SIGNARAMA's Attorney was one of the employee of Min. Man Press Franchisor. Overstated attorney's costs are later returned to SIGNARAMA bank account.
Making Money from royalty is not SIGNARAMA's Business model, RESALE stores and file lawsuit agains existing franchise owners are the ultimate business model. Ray Titus was the great inventor of this business model and forcing everyone to follow this business model.
My advice to you: DO NOT sign any agreements or peperwork with SIGN*A*RAMA. SIGN*A*RAMA often forged franchisee's signature and submitted to the court.
