It's clean, and convenient to stay at Gerald & Cyndi's.David2017-03-15T00:00:00Z
Cleanliness was superb, location was great about a 10 minute drive to downtown area. Walking distance to River's Edge Restaurant (recommend for nice dinner). Initially I was concerned with how hot the weather (103) was and no AC in this unit however, the place stayed cool with windows and curtains closed during the daytime and opened at night, it was a relief to come home to a cool place. Cyndi and Gerald were on vacation when we arrived but she made sure to leave a point person in charge and then checked in with us, overall she was attentive. I highly recommend staying at this cute cozy place.Sabina 2017-07-10T00:00:00Z
Comfortable, homey, and everything we needed! Gerald and Cyndi were friendly, welcoming, and unobtrusive hosts, and thoughtfully provided breakfast provisions (including coffee!), snacks, candies, and even wine. Bathroom essentials (soap, lotions) also were provided. The suite's two rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well appointed, with comfortable beds and nice linens. We enjoyed the eclectic antique and vintage decor. There is plenty of closet and drawer space for storing your stuff, and excellent lighting with both overhead and bedside lighting. Both rooms have TVs with cable. The suite stayed comfortably stable in temperature, remaining cool when it was hot outside, and not getting cold overnight when it was cold outside; and both rooms had ceiling fans. The suite shares a wall with the hosts' home but is completely private with a separate entrance and no shared spaces. One of the suite's two exterior doors leads to the back yard overlooking the Rogue River; we were invited to spend as much time as we liked enjoying the furnished patio and the spectacular view (I believe the photo is the actual view from this property).Evelyn2016-09-14T00:00:00Z
The best place to stay wen you wane visit Crater Lake National park and Table Rock for hiking and enjoy the Roger river Cyndi & Jerry, are the best hosts we recommend anyone look for place to stay more better the hotels the view the river is big plus price is very good and include breakfast coffee and you can use the bbq grill patio table Tank you Cindy&Jerry for everythingSergio2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Fine place to stay.jeffrey2017-03-03T00:00:00Z
This two room suite was really easy to check in to and very comfortable. The hosts left lovely treats in the fridge and snacks in the kitchen hallway for us to enjoy! Super easy to communicate with the hosts, but the walls are very thin staying here. I felt awful for having a cough late into the night, since we could easily hear the hosts talking earlier that evening. The location was not what we expected, a bit hard to locate in an odd part of town, but the river is right behind the unit and is beautiful.Cathy2017-08-25T00:00:00Z
Gerald and Cyndi work hard to make this a good place to stay. They communicate well and were very accommodating at check-in (we had to check-in a bit later than expected). They provide lots of good breakfast food, fruit, coffee, and two bottles of wine for us. The living space itself is also pretty big and has a bathroom, kitchen area, living room, and bedroom. There are two TVs (one in bedroom, one in living room), wifi, and plenty of towels and other toiletries you might need. On the downside, the location isn't great if you want to be close to downtown Grants Pass. And really the biggest downside is that you can hear everything happening in their home. The living space is connected to their home and is separated by the doors connecting the two places being locked, but you can hear everything going on over there (conversations, walking, TV, coughing, etc...). Gerald and Cyndi are quiet so it isn't a big deal and won't keep you up at night or anything like that, but it's still a little weird. Overall a fine place to stay in Grants Pass, though.Chris2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at Lee's house. The addition has been beautifully remodeled, and we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Highly recommended!Amy2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
Our experience was great! We were warmly welcomed and our hosts made sure we had everything we needed including some helpful information about the area. The place was clean and homie with great light! It was a perfect space for a relaxing vacation in Grants Pass!Jill2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
房子是非常好,精致的装饰,舒适的床。 此外,女房东李某是非常非常好的,她甚至准备了一些自制饼干和水果给我们。 我们有一个美好的住宿和行程,在这个地方。Di2015-05-26T00:00:00Z
We loved staying here! We were in grants pass for 2 1/2 weeks for work and my family had a wonderful and comfortable time staying in the separate guest house next to the beautiful victorian on the hill. It was super clean, had all the comforts of home and we loved that it was walking distance to everything downtown and was also peaceful and quiet. Don and Lee were courteous and kind and even let us do laundry there (I have to wear scrubs for work and had to do laundry every three days to keep my uniforms clean!) Our toddler had a lot of fun being in a new place and there wasn't really anything she could get into at her level so I'd say it's kid friendly! We would definitely stay here again if and when we come for another work trip!ashley2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
Great host, very functional 2 bedroom separate from main house. Fabulous central A/C,Steven2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Amazing place! I highly recommend staying here.Jordan2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
Don was a fabulous host. He created a wonderful environment for us to rendezvous with our college student children for Thanksgiving. The house is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. All of the furnishings were good quality, attractive and comfortable. Don welcomed humans with cookies and fruit, and out dog with doggie cookies. We felt as if we were in our own home for the holiday weekend. Strongly recommend staying here to explore the beautiful area around Grant's Pass.Karen2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

My husband and I were heading to Grants Pass to see a show and spend the night. Karen's space was absolutely perfect for our stay! The only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy the space! It was clean, well stocked, much more spacious than I expected and we slept like babies in the bed. A perfect choice for a little getaway, close to GP and everything you need!Debbie2017-08-13T00:00:00Z
This is a great property! Very comfortable and only a few minutes drive to downtown with plenty of stores and restaurants! One of our favorite Airbnbs so far!!Mary2017-08-15T00:00:00Z
This airbnb was perfect for us! It had more amenities than we expected. Was extremely private and easy to get to and close to a ton of restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place.Kelly2017-08-18T00:00:00Z
Quaint spot with all amenities you need. Short driving distance to shops and restaurants. Great support from Karen for check-in and check-outBrandon2017-08-21T00:00:00Z
This is such a lovely and private place for a getaway. We stayed on our way to experience the totality of the eclipse farther north and were so happy with what we found after a long car trip. It's a very roomy, clean and comfortable place, with a sweet and private deck (which overlooks a beautiful chicken coop and some wilderness) for relaxing and coffee drinking in the morning. Karen left snacks in the fridge and even some vouchers for smoothies at her juice bar in town. They were delicious!Rhoda2017-08-22T00:00:00Z
Such an adorable Airbnb. The quintessential, comfortable and private space to call home for a quick night or a longer stay. I can't wait to come again! Thanks for the smoothie coupons they were delicious! Just a stones throw away from downtownKristina2017-08-25T00:00:00Z
Great place would definitely stay here again! Great hosts as well very accommodating with my late arrival.Jenny2017-08-11T00:00:00Z
Beautiful setting, and the hosts truly made us feel welcome with small additional goodies. Close to Crater Lake and Grants Pass is a nice place to spend a weekend!Joseph2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at james and Lana's farm house. Such a treat. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The house was beautiful, comfortable and the grounds were perfect to relax on and for our boys to play and explore. They loved playing with the dogs, who were so sweet. We were close enough to old downtown Grants Pass to check out some of the local breweries and take another day trip to the Oregon Cave National Park. We even got to take advantage of the beautifully crafted outdoor fireplace and make smores and got to know them and hang out with them. We made new friends in Grant's Pass and can't wait to get back there. They definitely spoiled us with beverages, local wine and breakfast goodies stocked in the fridge. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!Brandi2017-07-17T00:00:00Z
The house was absolutely amazing. Very clean, super comfy beds and a very nice home feel. The attention to detail and the heart to welcome people into a home and not just a house was very evident. James and Lana are very friendly and warm and welcoming. They put out nice breakfast items which was not even part of the deal, as well as some bottles of regional wine to choose from, to make our landing a pleasure. We wholeheartedly recommend their place and will make sure to come back. It much succeeded our expectations. And the dogs really are very friendly :-) Thanks again James and Lana!!Norman Gabriel2017-07-23T00:00:00Z
This was a beautiful home, with lovely views. What a quiet, comfortable and relaxing spot for our family!Justine2017-07-15T00:00:00Z
This house was beautiful, inviting, and clean. The owners, James and Lana, were so gracious. A fire was ready at our convenience in their outdoor area and it was a great way to end our long day of travel. Waters by the bed was a nice and appreciated touch. Hope to someday cross paths again. Thanks so much for a fun night.jennifer2017-07-24T00:00:00Z
James and Lana are natural hosts--warm, clean, hospitable, gracious, highly communicative, and welcoming to the nth degree. The place is so beautiful and the ping pong table and early morning view over the west pastures are stunning. Dinner and smores in their outdoor covered picnic area and built-in fireplace are not to be missed. Neither is a stroll down to the Rogue. Enchanting. Clean. Jetted master bathroom tub. Loving family photos grace all the walls. And don't miss an evening competitve indoor ping pong match!Amy2017-07-19T00:00:00Z
James and Lana's place is one of the most unique, beautiful and peaceful homes I have ever had the pleasure to stay in using AirBnB. If you want a real get-away from it all experience, a stay with them is guaranteed to be just right. Trust me- you will not be disappointed, and James and Lana are the best. Vickie PerrieVickie 2017-08-10T00:00:00Z
The kids and I absolutely loved your place. The experience was fantastic! The grounds were gorgeous and well-maintained. Beds were clean and super-comfortable. Thank you for accommodating our berry picking wishes. We wish we could have stayed longer!Meagan2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Clean, comfortable, and generally well-equipped. Quiet suburban setting, very nice custom pool and spa. Kirk was friendly, responsive to our questions, and helpful.Dave2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
Our stay was amazing!! Kirk is an incredible host. We actually stayed at his other property on the Rogue river. It was serene and beautiful. Breakfast was great every morning. The beautiful patio with a hot tub and fire box were truly meditative. I can't wait to return to Grants Pass and stay with Kirk.Mellen2017-04-14T00:00:00Z
This place is amazing. Kirk is a fantastic host and everything was better than expected. We will stay here again!Jason2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
Our visit was so last minute and everything went so smoothly! The house was perfect for me and my family to let out some energy after driving all day. The pool was great, the beds were comfy and the house was clean and cozy. Thanks Kirk for being such a great host.Mollie2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

Teresa's place is fabulous. She is a gracious host and her cottage is filled with all sorts of wonderful amenities. The bed was extremely comfortable and the towels big and fluffy. We plan to stay again the next time our travels take us through Grants Pass.Leighann2016-11-19T00:00:00Z
Theresa was such a wonderful host. She went above and beyond for our family. Her cottage was perfect for us and gave us a little "home away from home" for two weeks. We were in Grants Pass for some personal business, and Theresa really made us feel at home. The cottage was clean, equipped enough to cook up some tasty meals, with a BBQ and a fantastic swimming pool that our boys enjoyed every day during our stay. You can watch the river roll by from her backyard - it's very pretty, very peaceful, with a nice park less than a block away...yet close enough to town and everything you might need during your stay. I would recommend her place to any of my friends or family.Melissa2017-06-25T00:00:00Z
Teresa was very friendly and helpful. Her cottage is clean and spacious. We will stay there again. You have the Rogue river at your disposal in a peaceful setting yet close to downtown.Patty2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
Quite, Clean, and much better then a hotel with beautiful back yard on River. Great ValueDominic2017-04-05T00:00:00Z
Teresa's cottage was our first experience with airbnb and we absolutely loved it. We have already recommended it to family and hope to stay there again. The setting with the pool and lawn sloping down to the river was picture perfect! The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Teresa is a gracious host who goes out of her way to make sure her guests are happy.Leanne2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

I am late in leaving a comment but would love to say that Kate is a wonderful Hostess. I had changed plans and fires in the surrounding area changed our trip plans but because our stay was so nice, we all could still relax, have enough room and were close enough to everything to really have a great time. We were 20 minutes from the Vortex, we had wonderful meals and recommend the all you can eat Sushi near by! The house is so beautifully decorated that I took pictures to remember and keep with me always. Because we celebrate each year on the river, Kate even had a cake waiting for us in a kitchen stocked with coffee and little amazing things that make you feel welcome. The property was on a busier street, but you would never know or feel that way because of the way it is set up, you never see or hear any noise from the roads at all. I am going to look for Kate again to book more Airbnb's with her and hopefully I will be able to rent from her for years to come. Thank you Kate, You are amazing and so generous and kind. Have a great day and I hope this helps others to feel good about making this your relaxing getaway! I was trying to think of ANY drawbacks to my experience, but there is not ONE I can think of. Besides the fires thwarting our plan, this haven made it all okay! Robin MosesRobin2017-08-22T00:00:00Z
The house was charming and had beautiful accents. It felt like all the little details were so well thought out. From the soft towels to the extra coffee, fresh milk, juice and eggs in the fridge. The backyard was amazing and had a nice place to sit and relax. We really appreciated all the thought and planning that was put into the house. There is a large HD TV in the living room with Netfix and Dish TV. The WiFi is fast with a strong signal. The beds and sheets were very soft and the bathroom was beautiful. We stayed cool and comfortable with the AC on and had plenty of space to spread out. The price was affordable for our family of four and that was awesome too. Comunicating with Kate was very easy and she is super nice. We will definitely stay here again.Cristel2017-08-04T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay while in the Grant's Pass area. Older home with a top notch remodel with everything you might want from quality linens to landscaping. Central location to area attractions and easy access to I5 are a bonus. The wife says this is where we are staying on next years trip.Douglas2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Even though it looked like it was still in the process of being worked on, Kelle's newest house is beautifully staged and welcoming. From the beautiful new chocolate brown stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink, and wood features, to the fresh flowers and plants throughout the house, Kelle has the rustic modern look down to a tee. The only downside for us was that the toilet in the downstairs area is in plain view and they hadn't yet put a door separating the bathroom space from the sleeping area yet. The upstairs bathroom has a lovely barn door feature; however, it didn't have a latch and it had a few gaps which made it a little less private than we would prefer. The outdoor space is as beautiful as the indoor space with large backyard, grilling area, new deck with large table, and decorative plants. The house is close to everything the city has to offer including a farmers market, antique stores galore, a beautiful city park, and watersports on the Rogue river. The jet-boat tours starting at the Taprock restaurant and hotel are a must-do! Kelle was very communicative and responsive throughout our stay.Michelle2017-07-17T00:00:00Z
Kelle's Grants Pass home is a real gem. It was a fantastic base to explore the Rogue River, wineries, trails and more. And Kelle's recommendations definitely helped us get the most out of our weekend. The house was immaculate, looked just like the photos and had AC to boot (it was in the mid-90s to low 100s) during our visit. Perfect for our family. Would definitely stay again.Garrick2017-08-13T00:00:00Z
The house was nice and beautiful. It was everything as described in the pictures. The location is perfect. It is close to town and the house is located on a quiet street. Kelle is very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!Enamari2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Great central GP location, walking distance to downtown and all the good stuff down there. A nice neighborhood with friendly people around. The house has recently been redone so a few things needed final touches but nothing that got in the way of our having fun and being comfy. We would stay there again for sure - Grants Pass is an awesome destination and Kelle's place is great to experience the town.Dave2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Diana is such a kind soul and a wonderful person to be around. She made me feel right at home from the moment I walked into her lovely home.

I would definitely recommend Diana's place to anyone wanting a good price on a room in a great location and cute little town.

My highest recommendations.Arthur2016-04-07T00:00:00Z

What a sweet cottage! We're a family of 4 (kids are 6 & 9) and we stayed here here for 2 nights while visiting family in GP. The cottage is very clean and well stocked, and we enjoyed the extras like chocolates, delicious coffee, and binoculars to look at the family of deer that come by in the morning. Very quiet and peaceful, with the wonderful chirping of frogs to lull you to sleep at night. So much better than a hotel, we will definitely be back!rebecca2015-08-19T00:00:00Z

Great place, wonderful people, you will not be disappointed!Amanda2017-07-05T00:00:00Z
Do not hesitate to book this room. If it's available, book this room. If it's not, then you've just missed out on possibly the most homely and relaxed AirBnB in the entire Pacific NW. Tammy is amazing. If children could appt adults and make them honorary grandparents, my son would be filling papers now. There's a crib for the baby, and cute pup who loves cuddles, and snacks on the counter like it's Christmas eve! Parking is easy and its about three minutes off of I-5. In short, book this place!Shane2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

Tammy was a great host! She welcomed us when we checked in, showed us around her home and really made us feel welcome and at home. Her home and our room were both beautiful. The room was clean and well equipped. The bathroom was great as well. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and as for Tammy, she couldn't have been a better host! Would highly recommend!Taylor2017-06-25T00:00:00Z
Tammy's home is a Must Stop!! She was very accommodating with the last minute reservation request - quick to respond and most helpful. We only needed a one night stay as we frequently travel to WA from CA. Not many Airbnbs offer a one night stay, at at such a very fair price. And the home was absolutely breathtaking - inside and out! Tammy has taken great lengths to make her home very warm and welcoming... she invites all guests to enjoy the gorgeous front and back patios, as well as full use of the kitchen, laundry and living areas. The upstairs guest room has every comfort including super soft bedding, warm blankets and fresh air and peaceful fountain enjoyed with the open window. The bathroom is large, with all the niceties of home. Fresh coffee was a nice morning treat with her Keurig. You will be greeted by her adorable doggie, Gizmo, who was so sweet. So if I could give 10 stars, I would! Tammy is a lovely considerate host that I look forward to seeing again soon in our next travels.Becky2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

The home was beautifully decorated...very comfortable for our group of 5. The location is excellent for access to the Umpqua. We unfortunately didn't have the weather to enjoy the swimming pool, but it was up and running had the sun cooperated. There was not a user friendly BBQ, that was a bit disappointing. But all in all it was a great experience.Debra 2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Cool, clean farm. Better than any hotel in the area.Kyle2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
The house is neat and very well designed. It's just a short drive to the small downtown of Grants Pass. Wifi and shower were good. My wife noticed and appreciated details like the double layer shower curtain, plenty of cushions, pillows and towels. Also the styled nature themed paintings on the wall enhanced the interior look. We also enjoyed watching cattle grazing and chicken while relaxing from a whole day hike. Staying in Paula's was such a pleasant experience that we've already listed it as first choice for our next trip back to Oregon.Kevin2017-07-30T00:00:00Z
Very close to town, the place was clean and cute. We learned a bit of farming. We enjoyed visiting with James and Paula.Gary2017-04-28T00:00:00Z
Paula and James were great hosts. They were attentive to our needs but also respected our space. We really enjoyed staying on their farm, and waking up to say hello to all the animals! They space was just what we needed. If we find ourselves back in Grants Pass, we would love to stay again! Thanks!Emily2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
My wife and I had a lovely stay at Paula's AirBnB. We were welcomed as we drove in, and shown around their farm, and even got to hold a three week old bunny! They were very accommodating to our coming and going as we helped out with a wedding over the weekend. The place was well kept and clean, and exactly what we needed for the weekend.Blake2017-08-27T00:00:00Z
Paula's home was lovely, just as pictured. It was quiet and comfortable; I would definitely like to go again!Erica2017-08-22T00:00:00Z
We loved staying here! Visiting the animals on the farm was certainly a highlight. Paula and James are great people, living the dream. Thanks for sharing it with Pete and I! I look forward to staying here again when in Grants Pass.Ali & Pete2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

Why the rich aren't happy
I recently read an interesting article in the New York Times (click here to read it) about why rich people are not as happy as you would expect them to be. When I say rich in this context I am referring to those making over $100,000 but less than millions. These are not the absolute richest people like those on the Forbes lists or those that own their own private jets. However, these are still people that earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and are near the richest in the U.S. on a percentage basis.
A study was conducted to see why these people are not as happy as you would think they would be with this type of income. The reason is because the people that are richer than them are much richer than them. These are people that work very hard and have achieved a lot of success. They are also more in tune with wealthy lifestyles as they live it to some extent. However, this also shows them how much richer the people that are just a few percentage points richer than them are. It's boils down to when you are middle class you don't know what you don't know. However, when you are upper class, but just short of millions and billions, you know what you don't know. This knowledge seems like a massive income gap and one that is discouraging.
When middle class people get promotions, they earn a few thousand dollars more and they feel good and set their sights on the next step up. However, people in the 90th percentile of income are around the point that they often cannot go any higher. Beyond them there is a much bigger gap until the next step up and this is deflating to them.
This means that happiness is not necessarily in the amount of dollars earned, but in the ability to keep advancing that income and progressing up the ladder. Given this information, those in the middle class (and slightly below/above) can begin to look at their situation in a way that appreciates what they have and motivates them to keep climbing.

New Expedia CEO has a hard act to follow
Everyone at Expedia says Okerstrom will carry the company in the same direction it's been going. But Expedia's fleet of websites doesn't have open waters ahead of it.Read more
Commenting on major hotel chains offering exclusive loyalty rates to their members in an effort to undercut online travel agencies, Priceline Group executive chairman Jeffery Boyd said his company has the "muscle and technology" to do something similar for its own customers.
Boyd, speaking along with CEO Glenn Fogel at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Consumer and Retail Technology Conference in New York City Wednesday, said hotels have opened these sorts of loyalty tools for their guests, and online travel agencies likewise are capable of enticing customers to register on their own sites and make prices available that are lower than the published rates generally available to the public.
Booking.com has been experimenting with a loyalty program, Booking.com for Business, but hasn't emphasized it in marketing.
The Priceline Group is "doing better" with major international hotel chains and has a "solid position," Boyd said. Prevailing wisdom has been that Expedia would be hurt more by the hotel-direct initiatives than Booking.com because the latter is more Europe- and independent-hotel focused.

In preparation for this post, I asked my fifteen-year old grandson to define product logistics and product supply chain. He looked at me as though I had just fallen off a turnip truck. I said you know, how does a manufacturer or producer of products get those products to the customer—the eventual user of the device or commodity. How does that happen? I really need to go do my homework. Can I think about this and give you an answer tomorrow?
Let's take a look at Logistics and Supply Chain Management:
"Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single organization and Supply Chain refers to networks of companies that work together and coordinate their actions to deliver a product to market. Also, traditional logistics focuses its attention on activities such as procurement, distribution, maintenance, and inventory management. Supply Chain Management (SCM) acknowledges all of traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product development, finance, and customer service" – from Essential of Supply Chain Management by Michael Hugos.
"Logistics is about getting the right product, to the right customer, in the right quantity, in the right condition, at the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost (the seven Rs of Logistics)" – from Supply Chain Management: A Logistics Perspective By John J. Coyle et al
Now, that wasn't so difficult, was it? A good way to look at is as follows:
There have been remarkable advancements in supply chain logistics over the past decade. Most of those advancements have resulted from companies bringing digital technologies into the front office, the warehouse, and transportation to the eventual customer. Mobile technologies are certainly changing how products are tracked outside the four walls of the warehouse and the distribution center. Realtime logistics management is within the grasp of many very savvy shippers. To be clear:
Mobile networking refers to technology that can support voice and/or data network connectivity using wireless, via a radio transmission solution. The most familiar application of mobile networking is the mobile phone or tablet or i-pad. From real-time goods tracking to routing assistance to the Internet of Things (IoT) "cutting wires" in the area that lies between the warehouse and the customer's front door is gaining ground as shippers grapple with fast order fulfillment, smaller order sizes, and ever-evolving customer expectations.
In return for their tech investments, shippers and logistics managers are gaining benefits such as short-ended lead times, improved supply chain visibility, error reductions, optimized transportation networks and better inventory management. If we combine these advantages we see that "wireless" communications are helping companies work smarter and more efficiently in today's very fast-paced business world.
Let's look now at six (6) mobility trends.
- Increasingly Sophisticated Vehicle Communications—There was a time when the only contact a driver had with home base was after an action, such as load drop-off, took place or when there was an in-route problem. Today, as you might expect, truck drivers, pilots and others responsible for getting product to the customer can communicate real-time. Cell phones have revolutionized and made possible real-time communication.
- Trucking Apps—By 2015, Frost & Sullivan indicated the size of the mobile trucking app market hit $35.4 billion dollars. Mobile apps are being launched, targeting logistics almost constantly. With the launch of UBER Freight, the competition in the trucking app space has heated up considerably, pressing incumbents to innovate and move much faster than ever before.
- Its' Not Just for the Big Guys Anymore: At one time, fleet mobility solutions were reserved for larger companies that could afford them. As technology has advanced and become more mainstream and affordable, so have fleet mobility solution.
- Mobility Helps Pinpoint Performance and Productivity Gaps: Knowing where everything is at any one given time is "golden". It is the Holy Grail for every logistics manager. Mobility is putting that goal within their reach.
- More Data Means More Mobile Technology to Generate and Support Logistics: One great problem that is now being solved, is how to handle perishable goods and refrigerated consumer items. Shippers who handle these commodities are now using sensors to detect trailer temperatures, dead batteries, and other problems that would impact their cargos. Using sensors, and the data they generate, shippers can hopefully make much better business decisions and head off problems before they occur. Sensors, if monitored properly, can indicate trends and predict eventual problems.
- Customers Want More Information and Data—They Want It Now: Customer's expectations for real-time shipment data is now available at their fingertips without having to pick up a telephone or send an e-mail. Right now, that information is available quickly online or with a smartphone.
The world is changing at light speed, and mobility communications is one technology making this possible. I have no idea as to where we will be in ten years, but it just might be exciting.

I have several clients I try to keep happy each week. One is in Cleveland, Tennessee. That's about a forty-five (45) minute drive for me, one way, so I get to see a great deal of Interstate traffic. This is my thirteenth year with this company as a client so I have made that trip multiple times. There is NO time of the day that I do not see an armada of fifty-three (53) foot rigs hauling their load from point "A" to point "B". The numbers are quite frankly staggering. According to the American Trucking Association (ATA) for the year 2016:
- The big rigs moved 10.42 billion tons of freight or seventy percent (70%) of all domestic freight tonnage.
- The nation's commercial trucks paid $41.3 billion in state and federal highway user fees and taxes. The average five-axel-trailer pays more than $5,600.00 in taxes annually.
- There were 33.8 million trucks registered for business purposes, including 3.68 million Class 8 trucks. (NOTE: The Class 8 truck gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is a vehicle with a GVWR exceeding 33000 pounds (14969 kg). These include tractor trailer tractors as well as single-unit dump trucks of a GVWR over 33,000 pounds; such trucks typically have 3 or more axles.)
- The 33.8 million trucks mentioned above burned 38.8 billion gallons of diesel fuel and 15.5 billion gallons of gasoline. Today's average price per gallon for diesel is $2.71.
- They traveled 450.4 billion miles.
- Approximately 7.4 million Americans are employed in trucking-related jobs, including 3.5 million as truck drivers.
- Trucking is an industry made up of small businesses; 91% of motor carriers operate six or fewer trucks and 97.3% operate less than 20.
- Annual revenues for 2016 totaled $676.2 billion.
- Freight volumes are projected to grow 2.8% in 2017 with an annual growth rate of 3.4% through 2023.
- Truckload volumes are expected to grow 2.7% per year from 2017 to 2023.
- Short haul or LTL shipments, will increase 3.3% per year from 2017 to 2023.
Companies, small and large, are making concerted efforts to lessen costs for diesel fuel and obtain greater efficencies thereby reducing overall total costs of operation. This is a nationwide exercise all movers long-haul and short-haul are participating in. We are already seeing FedEx, UPS, the Federal Post Office, DHL, police departments, taxi cab companies and others convert from diesel to propane or natural gas as the fuel of choice. This not only reduces operating expense but reduces carbon emissions. We also see companies who design and build engines for these big rigs, working hard to improve mileage and engine efficencies. Progress is being made on a yearly basis. So, the next time you pass an LTL or STL hauler, think about the industry and the efforts they are in the process of adopting to improve their company.

"Multitasking, in a human context, is the practice of doing multiple things simultaneously, such as editing a document or responding to email while attending a teleconference."
The concept of multitasking began in a computing context. Computer multitasking, similarly to human multitasking, refers to performing multiple tasks at the same time. In a computer, multitasking refers to things like running more than one application simultaneously. Modern-day computers are designed for multitasking. For humans, however, multitasking has been decisively proven to be an ineffective way to work. Research going back to the 1980s has indicated repeatedly that performance suffers when people multitask.
Multitasking is not a natural human trait. In a few hundred years, natural evolution may improve human abilities but for now, we are just not good at it. In 2007, an ABC Evening News broadcast cited, "People are interrupted once every ten and one-half minutes (10.5). It takes twenty-three (23) minutes to regain your train of thought. People lose two point one (2.1) hours each day in the process of multitasking."
A great article entitled "No Task Left Behind" by Mark Gloria, indicated that a person juggled twelve (12) work spheres each day and fifty-seven percent (57%) of the work got interrupted. As a result, twenty-three percent (23%) of the work to be accomplished that day got pushed to the next day and beyond. That was the case twelve years ago. We all have been there trying to get the most of each day only to return home with frustration and more to do the next day.
Experience tells us that:
- For students, an increase in multitasking predicted poorer academic results.
- Multitaskers took longer to complete tasks and produced more errors.
- People had more difficulty retaining new information while multitasking.
- When tasks involved making selections or producing actions, even very simple tasks performed concurrently were impaired.
- Multitaskers lost a significant amount of time switching back and forth between tasks, reducing their productivity up to forty percent (40%).
- Habitual multitaskers were less effective than non-multitaskers even when doing one task at any given time because their ability to focus was impaired.
- Multitasking temporarily causes an IQ drop of 10 points, the equivalent of going without sleep for a full night.
- Multitaskers typically think they are more effective than is actually the case.
- There are limited amounts of energy for any one given day.
- Multitasking can lessen inter-personal skills and actually detract from the total work force.
- It encourages procrastination.
- A distracted mind may become permanent.
People believe multitasking is a positive attribute, one to be admired. But multitasking is simply the lack of self-discipline. Multitasking is really switching your attention from one to task to another to another, instead of giving yourself over to a single task. Multitasking is easy; disciplined focus and attention is difficult.
The quality of your work is determined by how much of your time, your focus and your attention you give it. While multitasking feels good and feels busy, the quality of the work is never what it could be with the creator's full attention. More and more, this is going to be apparent to those who are judging the work, especially when compared to work of someone who is disciplined and who has given the same or similar project their full focus and attention.
In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
The individual who coined the phrase "flow" was Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. (Please do NOT ask me to pronounce Dr. Csikszentmihalyi's last name.) He made the following statement:
"The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile."
– Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
- Complete concentration on the task. By this we mean really complete.
- Clarity of goals and reward in mind and immediate feedback. No need to focus and concentrate when there are no goals in mind to indicate completion.
- Transformation of time (speeding up/slowing down of time). When in full "flow" mode, you lost time.
- The experience is intrinsically rewarding, has an end itself.
- Effortlessness and ease.
- There is a balance between challenge and skills.
- Actions and awareness are merged, losing self-conscious rumination.
- There is a feeling of control over the task.
I personally do not get there often but the point is—you cannot get in the "zone", you will not be able to achieve mental "flow" when you are in the multitasking mode. I just will not happen.
As always, I welcome your comments.

Like most Americans, I have been greatly saddened by the destruction caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. My heart certainly goes out to all of those who have lost love ones, livelihood, and property. Let's quickly take a look at several facts relative to each to see if we can get some idea as to the rebuilding efforts and challenges that may lie ahead.
- Category 4 storm that creating $180.00 billion dollars in damage
- Affected thirteen (13) million people.
- Will require more than $125.00 billion in Federal relief.
- As of 12 September, the death toll has reached seventy (70) people.
- Two feet of rain fell in the first twenty-four (24) hours. Flooding forced 39,000 people out of their homes and into shelters. Dallas created a mega-shelter for 5,000 evacuees out of its main convention center.
- Total rainfall hit 51.88 inches in Cedar Bayou on the outskirts of Houston. That's a record for a single storm in the continental United States. "Harvey Broke a National Record Rainfall for a Single Tropical Storm," Vox, August 30, 2017. Much of Harvey's damage came from massive rainfall. It created a 1-in-1,000-year flood event. That means nothing of that size has happened within modern recorded history. Flooding covered southeast Texas the size of the state of New Jersey. Thirty inches of rain fell on an area near the coast the size of the state of Maryland. (Source: "Harvey Is a 1,000-year Flood Unprecedented in Scale," The Washington Post, August 31, 2017.)
- Hurricane Harvey damaged 203,000 homes, of which 12,700 were destroyed. There were 507,000 people who registered for assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The agency delivered 80 tractor-trailer loads of emergency supplies.
- Federal forces rescued 10,000 people who were trapped in their homes or on flooded highways.
- In the Gulf area, 1 million vehicles were ruined beyond repair, according to auto data firm Black Book. That includes 300,000 to 500,000 vehicles owned by individuals. (Source: "Harvey May Have Wrecked 1 Million Cars and Trucks," USA Today, August 31, 2017.
The overall damage from hurricane Irene is yet to be determined but it obviously is in the billions. Here is what we know to date.
- Reports indicate that Irma was directly responsible for 49 deaths: five (5) in the Dominican Republic, three (3) in Haiti, and forty-one (41) in the United States. Surprisingly, there were no reported deaths in the Bahamas, where Irene was the strongest.
- The hurricane's strongest sustained winds, at 185 mph, blew for more than 65 consecutive hours, something no other tropical cyclone has done in the modern satellite era, which began 50 years ago, according to Philip Klotzbach, a meteorologist at Colorado State University.
- Irma's tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains resulted in power outages for up to three (3) million U.S. residents.
- Irma also produced copious amounts of rain in Puerto Rico, with a maximum of 22.05 inches in Gurabo Abajo, which caused major flooding in the northeastern portion of the island.
- In the United States, the Insurances Services Office reported that the hurricane caused an estimated $4.3 billion in losses. Doubling this figure in an attempt to account for uninsured losses results in an estimated total of $8.6 billion. Based on National Flood Insurance Program data, it is estimated that Irene caused $7.2 billion in losses from inland flooding and storm surge. Using these figures, the total damage estimate is $15.8 billion.
- With Irma's projected path fixed over much of the United States East Coast, over 65 million people from the Carolinas to northern New England were estimated to be at risk.
- The storm paralleled offshore of Hispaniola, continuing to slowly intensify in the process. Shortly before making four landfalls in the Bahamas, Irene peaked as a 120 mph (190 km/h) Category 3 hurricane.
- More 6.2 million homes in Florida are without power and scores of people have been rescued. More than 160,000 people are thought to be waiting out the storm in shelters across the state.
- Irma also has one of the lowest pressures, at 914 millibars, ever recorded in a storm, according to Blake.
- Irma is also one of three hurricanes now formed in the Atlantic Ocean, something that has not happened in seven years. It is followed by Hurricane Jose, which was upgraded to Category 3 yesterday, though it is unclear whether that storm will hit the United States.
- Irma is over four (400) hundred miles across.
As I mentioned, most of the data relative to lives lost and the cost of damage are still much too early to announce for Irma. The good news is–Americans are extremely resilient, hard-working and with great supports systems. Those effected will rebuild.
One of my favorite writers is Rudyard Kipling. His poem IF defines and describes the American people and the American spirit much better than I ever could.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

Do you remember where you were on September 9, 2001? At 8:46 on the morning of September 9, 2001 Mohammed Atta and other hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11 crash the plane into floors 93-99 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building.
Seventeen (17) minutes later at 9:03 am – Hijackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into floors 75-85 of the WTC's South Tower, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building.
The WTC buildings, before their demise, are pictured in the digital picture below.
The first crash is shown as follows:
I was in the "cube farm" working as a mechanical engineer for the Roper Corporation, Inc when Duane Lee came over and indicated his wife had just called telling him a small plane had crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York. I have a private pilot's license so my first impression was a student pilot had gotten into heavy winds and mismanaged the controls allowing the plane to veer into the tower. Maybe mechanical problems with the aircraft. Maybe a medical emergency. None of these really seemed plausible because there are very specific FAA regulations regarding airplanes relative to structures.
91.119 Minimum safe altitudes; general
"Over congested areas – Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open-air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft."
" Over other than congested areas – An altitude of 500 feet above the surface except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In that case, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure."
I think we can all agree; downtown NYC is a significantly congested area so one thousand feet (1,000) above and two thousand (2,000) feet within a horizontal radius would be the norm. Something did NOT add up. I called one of my sons and asked him if he had heard about the small airplane hitting the tower. SMALL—not small, an airliner. As we were speaking, the second plane hit the south tower. It became very obvious that we were under attack. That fact was confirmed when at 9:37 am – Hijackers aboard Flight 77 crash the plane into the western façade of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., killing fifty-nine (59) aboard the plane and one hundred and twenty-five (125) military and civilian personnel inside the building.
At 9:42 am – For the first time in history, the FAA grounds all flights over or bound for the continental United States. Some three thousand (3,300) commercial flights and twelve hundred (1,200) private planes are guided to airports in Canada and the United States over the next two-and-a-half hours.
The resulting destruction is given with the following three pictures:
At 10:07 am – After passengers and crew members aboard the hijacked Flight 93 contact friends and family and learn about the attacks in New York and Washington, they mount an attempt to retake the plane. In response, hijackers deliberately crash the plane into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, killing all 40 passengers and crew aboard.
For me, this was one of the worst days in my not-so-short life. By noon, it was obvious we were at war. With whom, I had no idea but payback was in order and with President Bush in office that payback would be assured. Only cowards kill innocent civilians—ONLY COWARDS.
September 9, 2017
You probably know this by now if you read my postings—my wife and I love to go to the movies. I said GO TO THE MOVIES, not download movies but GO. If you go to a matinée, and if you are senior, you get a reduced rate. We do that. Normally a movie beginning at 4:00 P.M. will get you out by 6:00 or 6:30 P.M. Just in time for dinner. Coming from the Carmike Cinema on South Terrace, I looked left and slowly moved over to the inside lane—just in time to hit car in my "blind side". Low impact "touching" but never the less an accident anyway. All cars, I'm told, have blind sides and ours certainly does. Side mirrors do NOT cover all areas to the left and right of any vehicle. Maybe there is a looming solution to that dilemma.
The global automotive industry seems poised and on the brink of a "Brave New World" in which connectivity and sensor technologies come together to create systems that can eliminate life-threatening collisions and enable automobiles that drive themselves. Knows as Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems, vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V technologies open the door for automobiles to share information and interact with each other, as well as emerging smart infrastructure. These systems, obviously, make transportation safer but offer the promise of reducing traffic congestion.
Smart features of V2V promise to enhance drive awareness via traffic alerts, providing notifications on congestion, obstacles, lane changing, traffic merging and railway crossing alerts. Additional applications include:
- Blind spot warnings
- Forward collision warnings
- Sudden brake-ahead warnings
- Approaching emergency vehicle warnings
- Rollover warnings
- Travel condition data to improve maintenance services.
Already The Department of Transportation "Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications: Readiness of V2V Technology for Application", DOT HS 812 014, details the technology as follows:
"The purpose of this research report is to assess the readiness for application of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, a system designed to transmit basic safety information between vehicles to facilitate warnings to drivers concerning impending crashes. The United States Department of Transportation and NHTSA have been conducting research on this technology for more than a decade. This report explores technical, legal, and policy issues relevant to V2V, analyzing the research conducted thus far, the technological solutions available for addressing the safety problems identified by the agency, the policy implications of those technological solutions, legal authority and legal issues such as liability and privacy. Using this report and other available information, decision-makers will determine how to proceed with additional activities involving vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) technologies."
The agency estimates there are approximately five (5) million annual vehicle crashes, with attendant property damage, injuries, and fatalities. While it may seem obvious, if technology can help drivers avoid crashes, the damage due to crashes simply never occurs. This is the intent of an operative V2V automotive system. While these "vehicle-resident" crash avoidance technologies can be highly beneficial, V2V communications represent an additional step in helping to warn drivers about impending danger. V2V communications use on-board dedicated short-range radio communication devices to transmit messages about a vehicle's speed, heading, brake status, and other information to other vehicles and receive the same information from the messages, with range and "line-of-sight" capabilities that exceed current and near-term "vehicle-resident" systems — in some cases, nearly twice the range. This longer detection distance and ability to "see" around corners or "through" other vehicles and helps V2V-equipped vehicles perceive some threats sooner than sensors, cameras, or radar. This can warn drivers accordingly. V2V technology can also be fused with those vehicle-resident technologies to provide even greater benefits than either approach alone. V2V can augment vehicle-resident systems by acting as a complete system, extending the ability of the overall safety system to address other crash scenarios not covered by V2V communications, such as lane and road departure. A fused system could also augment system accuracy, potentially leading to improved warning timing and reducing the number of false warnings.
Communications represent the keystone of V2V systems. The current technology builds upon a wireless standard called Dedicated Shor- Range Communication or DSRC. DSRC is based upon the IEEE 802.11p protocol. Transmissions of these systems consists of highly secure, short-to-medium-range, high-speed wireless communication channels, which enable vehicles to connect with each other for short periods of time. Using DSRC, two or more vehicles can exchange basic safety messages, which describe each vehicle's speed, position, heading, acceleration rate, size and braking status. The system sends these messages to the onboard units of surrounding vehicles ten (10) times per second, where they are interpreted and provide warnings to the driver. To achieve this, V2V systems leverage telematics to track vehicles via GPS monitoring the location, movements, behavior and status of each vehicle.
Based on preliminary information, NHTSA currently estimates that the V2V equipment and supporting communications functions (including a security management system) would cost approximately $341 to $350 per vehicle in 2020 dollars. It is possible that the cost could decrease to approximately $209 to $227 by 2058, as manufacturers gain experience producing this equipment (the learning curve). These costs would also include an additional $9 to $18 per year in fuel costs due to added vehicle weight from the V2V system. Estimated costs for the security management system range from $1 to $6 per vehicle, and they will increase over time due to the need to support an increasing number of vehicles with the V2V technologies. The communications costs range from $3 to $13 per vehicle. Cost estimates are not expected to change significantly by the inclusion of V2V-based safety applications, since the applications themselves are software and their costs are negligible. Based on preliminary estimates, the total projected preliminary annual costs of the V2V system fluctuate year after year but generally show a declining trend. The estimated total annual costs range from $0.3 to $2.1 billion in 2020 with the specific costs being dependent upon the technology implementation scenarios and discount rates. The costs peak to $1.1 to $6.4 billion between 2022 and 2024, and then they gradually decrease to $1.1 to $4.6 billion.
In terms of safety impacts, the agency estimates annually that just two of many possible V2V safety applications, IMA (Integrated Motor Assists) and LTA (Land Transport Authority), would on an annual basis potentially prevent 25,000 to 592,000 crashes, save 49 to 1,083 lives, avoid 11,000 to 270,000 MAIS 1-5 injuries, and reduce 31,000 to 728,000 property-damage-only crashes by the time V2V technology had spread through the entire fleet. We chose those two applications for analysis at this stage because they are good illustrations of benefits that V2V can provide above and beyond the safety benefits of vehicle-resident cameras and sensors. Of course, the number of lives potentially saved would likely increase significantly with the implementation of additional V2V and V2I safety applications that would be enabled if vehicles were equipped with DSRC capability.
It is apparent to me that we are driving (pardon the pun) towards self-driving automobiles. I have no idea as to when this technology will become fully adopted, if ever. If that happens in part or across the vehicle spectrum, there will need to be some form of V2V. One car definitely needs to know where other cars are relative to position, speed, acceleration, and overall movement. My wife NEVER goes to sleep or naps while I'm driving—OK maybe one time as mentioned previously. She is always remarkably attentive and aware when I'm behind the wheel. This comes from experience gained over fifty-two years of marriage. "The times they are a-changing". The great concern I have is how we are to maintain the systems and how "hackable" they may become. As I awoke this morning, I read the following:
The credit reporting agency Equifax said Thursday that hackers gained access to sensitive personal data — Social Security numbers, birth dates and home addresses — for up to 143 million Americans, a major cybersecurity breach at a firm that serves as one of the three major clearinghouses for Americans' credit histories.
I am sure, like me, that gives you pause. If hackers can do that, just think about the chaos that can occur if V2V systems can be accessed and controlled. Talk about keeping one up at night.
As always, I welcome your comments.
August 25, 2017
The manufacturing industry remains an essential component of the U.S. economy. In 2016, manufacturing accounted for almost twelve percent (11.7%) of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and contributed slightly over two trillion dollars ($2.18 trillion) to our economy. Every dollar spent in manufacturing adds close to two dollars ($1.81) to the economy because it contributes to development in auxiliary sectors such as logistics, retail, and business services. I personally think this is a striking number when you compare that contribution to other sectors of our economy. Interestingly enough, according to recent research, manufacturing could constitute as much as thirty-three percent (33%) of the U.S. GDP if both its entire value chain and production for other sectors are included. Research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that employment in manufacturing has been trending up since January of 2017. After double-digit gains in the first quarter of 2017, six thousand (6,000) new jobs were added in April. Currently, the manufacturing industry employs 12,396,000 people, which equals more than nine percent (9%) of the U.S. workforce. Nonetheless, many experts are concerned that these employment gains are soon to be halted by the ever-rising adoption of automation. Yet automation is inevitable—and like in the previous industrial revolutions, automation is likely to result in job creation in the long term. If we look back at the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution began in the late 18th century when a series of new inventions such as the spinning jenny and steam engine transformed manufacturing in Britain. The changes in British manufacturing spread across Europe and America, replacing traditional rural lifestyles as people migrated to cities in search of work. Men, women and children worked in the new factories operating machines that spun and wove cloth, or made pottery, paper and glass.
Women under 20 made comprised the majority of all factory workers, according to an article on the Industrial Revolution by the Economic History Association. Many power loom workers, and most water frame and spinning jenny workers, were women. However, few women were mule spinners, and male workers sometimes violently resisted attempts to hire women for this position, although some women did work as assistant mule spinners. Many children also worked in the factories and mines, operating the same dangerous equipment as adult workers. As you might suspect, this was a great departure from times prior to the revolution.
In an attempt to create more jobs, the new administration is reassessing free trade agreements, leveraging tariffs on imports, and promising tax incentives to manufacturers to keep their production plants in the U.S. Yet while these measures are certainly making the U.S. more attractive for manufacturers, they're unlikely to directly increase the number of jobs in the sector. What it will do, however, is free up more capital for manufacturers to invest in automation. This will have the following benefits:
- Automation will reduce production costs and make U.S. companies more competitive in the global market. High domestic operating costs—in large part due to comparatively high wages—compromise the U.S. manufacturing industry's position as the world leader. Our main competitor is China, where low-cost production plants currently produce almost eighteen percent (17.6%) of the world's goods—just zero-point percent (0.6%) less than the U.S. Automation allows manufacturers to reduce labor costs and streamline processes. Lower manufacturing costs results in lower product prices, which in turn will increase demand.
Low-cost production plants in China currently produce 17.6% of the world's goods—just 0.6% less
than the U.S.
- Automation increases productivity and improves quality. Smart manufacturing processes that make use of technologies such as robotics, big data, analytics, sensors, and the IoT are faster, safer, more accurate, and more consistent than traditional assembly lines. Robotics provide 24/7 labor, while automated systems perform real-time monitoring of the production process. Irregularities, such as equipment failures or quality glitches, can be immediately addressed. Connected plants use sensors to keep track of inventory and equipment performance, and automatically send orders to suppliers when necessary. All of this combined minimizes downtime, while maximizing output and product quality.
- Manufacturers will re-invest in innovation and R&D. Cutting-edge technologies. such as robotics, additive manufacturing, and augmented reality (AR) are likely to be widely adopted within a few years. For example, Apple® CEO Tim Cook recently announced the tech giant's $1 billion investment fund aimed at assisting U.S. companies practicing advanced manufacturing. To remain competitive, manufacturers will have to re-invest a portion of their profits in R&D. An important aspect of innovation will involve determining how to integrate increasingly sophisticated technologies with human functions to create highly effective solutions that support manufacturers' outcomes.
Technologies such as robotics, additive manufacturing, and augmented reality are likely to be widely adopted soon. To remain competitive, manufacturers will have to re-invest a portion of their profits in R&D.
Now, let's look at the five ways in which automation will affect the workforce.
- Certain jobs will be eliminated. By 2025, 3.5 million jobs will be created in manufacturing—yet due to the skills gap, two (2) million will remain unfilled. Certain repetitive jobs, primarily on the assembly line will be eliminated. This trend is with us right now. Retraining of employees is imperative.
- Current jobs will be modified. In sixty percent (60%) of all occupations, thirty percent (30%) of the tasks can be automated. For the first time, we hear the word "co-bot". Co-bot is robotic assisted manufacturing where an employee works side-by-side with a robotic system. It's happening right now.
- New jobs will be created. There are several ways automation will create new jobs. First, lower operating costs will make U.S. products more affordable, which will result in rising demand. This in turn will increase production volume and create more jobs. Second, while automation can streamline and optimize processes, there are still tasks that haven't been or can't be fully automated. Supervision, maintenance, and troubleshooting will all require a human component for the foreseeable future. Third, as more manufacturers adopt new technologies, there's a growing need to fill new roles such as data scientists and IoT engineers. Fourth, as technology evolves due to practical application, new roles that integrate human skills with technology will be created and quickly become commonplace.
- There will be a skills gap between eliminated jobs and modified or new roles. Manufacturers should partner with educational institutions that offer vocational training in STEM fields. By offering students on-the-job training, they can foster a skilled and loyal workforce. Manufacturers need to step up and offer additional job training. Employees need to step up and accept the training that is being offered. Survival is dependent upon both.
- The manufacturing workforce will keep evolving. Manufacturers must invest in talent acquisition and development—both to build expertise in-house and to facilitate continuous innovation. Ten years ago, would you have heard the words, RFID, Biometrics, Stereolithography, Additive manufacturing? I don't think so. The workforce MUST keep evolving because technology will only improve and become a more-present force on the manufacturing floor.
As always, I welcome your comments.

1. "Ever, can't you just relax and enjoy the view? When was the last time you were in Paris anyway?""Never. I've never been to Paris. And I hate to break it to you, Ava, but this—is not Paris. This is like some cranked up Disney version of Paris. Like, you've taken a pile of travel brochures and French postcards, and scenes from that adorable cartoon movie Ratatouille, mixed them all together and voila, created this."

2. "The Unthinkable is not a book about disaster recovery; it's about what happens in the midst—before the police and firefighters arrive, before reporters show up in their rain slickers, before a structure is imposed on the loss. This is a book about the survival arc we all must travel to get from danger to safety."
Author: Amanda Ripley

3. "To become a writer a person must read constantly, the more varied the writers and their material then all the better. One must also have a lot of life experience, travel to exotic locations and live among the local people. Yet most importantly a writer needs the determination to keep at their writing regardless of what others might say or think about it"

4. "It is after all so easy to shatter a story. To break a chain of thought. To ruin a fragment of a dream being carried around carefully like a piece of porcelain. To let it be, to travel with it, as Velutha did, is much the harder thing to do."
Author: Arundhati Roy

5. "Michael Pollan: "The industrialization--and dehumanization--of American animal farming is a relatively new, evitable, and local phenomenon: no other country raises and slaughters its food animals quite as intensively or as brutally as we do."U.S. consumers may take our pick of reasons to be wary of the resulting product: growth hormones, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, unhealthy cholesterol composition, deadly E. coli strains, fuel consumption, concentration of manure into toxic waste lagoons, and the turpitude of keeping confined creatures at the limits of their physiological and psychological endurance."

9. "The paradox of love is that to have it is to want to preserve it because it's perfect in the moment but that preservation is impossible because the perfection is only ever an instant passed through. Love like travel is a series of moments that we immediately leave behind. Still we try to hold on and embalm against all evidence and common sense proclaiming our promises and plans. The more I loved him the more I felt hope. But hope acknowledges uncertainty and so I also felt my first premonitions of loss."

14. "The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard."

24. "What we're trying to do is write cricket bats, so that when we throw up an idea and give it a little knock, it might … travel … ([He] picks up the script.) Now, what we've got here is a lump of wood of roughly the same shape trying to be a cricket bat, and if you hit a ball with it, the ball would travel about ten feet and you will drop the bat and dance about shouting 'Ouch!' with your hands stuck into your armpits.

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.
For an introduction to the new site, click here. If you'd prefer to explore, try our test area to get started. And see here for current known issues.
My task is to configure Qos on two 7604 routers (WS-SUP32-GE-3B,WS-F6K-MSFC2A,WS-F6K-PFC3B) .The Tx Queue Structure on the Gig interface is 1p3q8t.
The bandwidth allocated is as belowVoice 2 % EFVideo 6% AF41Critical_data 20% AF31 Server_data and best-effort-traffic 50% AF 21Bulk_data 30% AF0
How much bandwidth and buffers should be allocated to each Queue in 1p3q8t ?
1.Is the strict-priority and less-than-best-effort queues are tuned to be indirectly proportional to their bandwidth allocations?
2.while all other non-priority preferential queues are tuned to be directly proportional to their bandwidth allocations?
If so what percent of bandwidth and what percent of Buffers should be configured on the 1p3q8t ??
And the Egress interfaces (1 Gig) on both the 7604 routers, should they trust DSCP or trust COS ?
According to the Cisco product documentation the Egress buffer per Gigabit Ethernet port is 9.5 MB, if the 1 Gig interface is rate-limited to 50Mbps, would the buffer remain same or would it also change?.
Thanks in advance.

Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D.
- "Conventional cancer therapy is so toxic and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer. We know that conventional therapy doesn't work--if it did, you would not fear cancer any more than you fear pneumonia. It is the utter lack of certainty as to the outcome of conventional treatment that virtually screams for more freedom of choice in the area of cancer therapy. Yet most alternative therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are outlawed, which forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't work, because there's no other choice."
Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D - "Of the women in menopause today, about half start synthetic hormone replacement, but only half of those stick with it because of the side effects or fear of cancer risk. The threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT"

Sharing…being in "HOG HEAVEN"
Good morning and here's to a new week! I have a fun post for you today as it is filled with pictures that will make you smile…make you giggle…make you just say life is great! John and I went away to a county fair near where we live!
I have never been to this fair – it is the Frederick County, Maryland fair. I simply could not get enough of all of the amazing animals that we saw but more importantly my heart was filled with joy seeing so many children and adults having nothing short of good old-fashioned fun!
I know this has absolutely nothing to do with stamping… but this is what I love about having a blog– I am able to share part of my life and my happiness with you! With pinkie still being by my side…my time creating is a little back-burnered right now but taking pictures was a blast!
You all know that I adore my animals and they are huge part of my life… and you also know that I have a pet pig named Daisy Mae! My entire family (with the exception of me naturally) thinks Daisy is huge… but after seeing these pigs in Daisy is very petite!
Enjoy these pictures I have for you showcasing the amazing animals that the children in our area proudly showed. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see children and their parents have such pride and just a wonderful time together.
This MAMA had 13 piglets….these piglets are 4 weeks old. I love the way they snuggle with each other.
Everyone needs a friend….RIGHT!?!?
This super sweet girl was 14 years old and she was snuggling with her pig Wilbur….Wilbur will be leaving to go (you know where) – he has proudly (made the weight)…YEEK….I was sicken to hear that….but I guess that is a part of the journey. This pig has had to gain 1.5 pounds per day since June 1st to "make the weight" – heck…we really shouldn't feel bad putting on an extra 5!
Friends to the end….(these girls have some big hocks)
LOVE THIS PICTURE….this pig was just snoozin' away….Pigs are really SUPER smart……and SUPER clean!
This is a pretty pig…she looks like Daisy. (but bigger)
Poor Piggie….he isn't as "pretty" as the others…..(and YES – PIGS get sunburned)
Can you say A D O R A B L E – just too sweet! (she is tired) – Love the ears….
Movin' onto Sheep….now I thought Hannah and I were a little nuts about horses…but these sheep people….they are serious…ENJOY!
Time for GOATS.…Not to offend anyone… But this is one animal I would never have!
True, they're super cute but they climb over everything!
Now here we go…help me out – John wants to get a couple of Alpaca's…..I say no….he really wants them…
(he has a client that raises them)…they are cute……What do you think???? YES or NO?
Now this totally TOUCHES MY HEART-STRINGS…..not only is this cow adorable (3 years old) – this little boy MELTED my heart….he talked and talked….and then talked and talked to me (I was in hog heaven) and every time I would ask him a question he would look at me and say yes ma'am… No ma'am… Yes ma'am!
Just look how proud he is of his cow!
I simply cannot explain how amazing this time was seeing these amazing animals and these amazing children.
Now I just had to take this picture because I swear if I ever was involved with cows I could see this being me holding a cow waiting for one of my kids.This poor lady looks like she is just waiting for someone to come get this cow! TOO FUNNY!
Poor Girl….she is saying, "TAKE ME HOME…I NEED MILKED"
Now to the food….Every fair has great local food…..Just look at these potato chips… We didn't– I resisted…..
And here are turkey legs… They looked amazing… I resisted….
And there was the pit beef sandwich… We both caved in and enjoyed! SUPER YUM!
You can see it was a wonderful afternoon and as I came home my joy tank was filled to the brim!
In closing here is a picture of my boys as we drove In the driveway…
I love my sweet Oscar and Colin…There is just nothing like the love and joy you get from an animal!
I hope to be enjoyed and smiled a little glimpse of my weekend….Let's all have a great week!
