Summarize the following:
Once the data is complete in your payoff table, it should be easy to spot the most profitable course of action for each possible event. This is just a matter of selecting the highest number in each horizontal row. For example, in a low demand market, your two choices are represented by the values 1 or -5. Because 1 is the greater number, this represents the more valuable choice, which is the gradual marketing campaign. In a high demand market, the extreme marketing campaign shows a higher value of 10, compared to 4 for the gradual campaign. This will be a new table that represents the value that you could lose from making any given choice. Set up a table with the same right hand column, representing the possible events. Make additional columns labeled "Optimum Action," "Profit of Optimum Action," and then one additional column for each of your alternative courses of action. Working with the marketing example, your headings will be "Optimum Action," "Profit of Optimum Action," "Gradual Campaign," and "Extreme Campaign." The first column on the right will list the two possible events, Low Demand and High Demand. Using the information from your payoff table, fill in the first few spaces of this opportunity loss table. In the Optimum Action column, the better choice for a low demand market is the Gradual campaign, so write in the word "Gradual." On the second row, for a high demand market, the better choice is the extreme campaign, so fill in the word "Extreme." These choices represent incomes of 1 and 10 million dollars, respectively, so enter those numbers in the Profit column. In the final columns, you will calculate the amount that you would expect to lose if you had chosen a less optimal course of action. In each space of the table, you will enter the value that corresponds to that action-event combination, subtracted from the optimal event in the previous column. For example, the first space represents the gradual campaign in the low demand market. This has a value of +1. It is also, you should recall, the optimal choice that you selected for this row. Therefore, the "loss" calculation is 1-1, which is 0. This makes sense because it is not really an alternative. It represents the choice that you made. Enter 0 in the first space. The second space represents what you might have lost had you chosen an extreme marketing campaign in a low demand market. Calculate this by subtracting 1-(-5), for a value of +6. Complete the rest of the table in similar fashion. The values in the last two columns should be: 0 6 6 0 Notice that the values along the main diagonal are all 0. This makes sense because they are comparisons of each choice against itself, so there is no theoretical loss. However, compare the other values and you will see the amount of money that, based on your prediction data, you would lose under each scenario. For example, you made the initial decision that in a low demand market, a gradual campaign would be optimal. Had you chosen the extreme campaign, the table shows that you would expect to lose $6 million. In a high demand market, your optimal choice is the extreme campaign. However, had you chosen the gradual campaign, you would expect to lose $6 million.

summary: Select the best action for each event. Create a new "Opportunity Loss" Table. Fill in the data. Determine the expected losses for each alternative course of action. Interpret the completed table.

Liquid eyeliners in metallic shades like gold, silver and bronze have become popular in recent years, so they're not hard to find at drugstores and beauty supply shops. Create a unique look by using them for dot eyeliner. Try creating barely perceptible pinpoints with metallic shades for a unique sparkle.

summary: Give metallic shades a try.

Making sure it uses the PointsPlus system! There are no two ways around it -- just getting a calculator is the simplest way. With the new formula, activity is assumed with your sex and certain numbers are weighted and there's a bunch of decimal places you really shouldn't have to worry about. Just to prove a point, the Total Energy Expenditure formula is:TEE = 387 - (7.31 x age) + (PA x ((10.9 x wgt) + (660.7 x Ht))...See? And that's just one formula of many. The process of counting food points is different with the new system, too. You need to get a calculator and punch in the amount of protein, carbs, fat and fiber (no calories!) in the food you're eating. Once you do this enough times, it'll become old hat. Weight Watchers has reference material for most restaurants and food items, but if you run into the odd product that isn't pre-listed, you can figure it out with a few button pushes. This formula is a bit convoluted, too, if you want to do it yourself. Curious? It looks something like this:Points Plus = (Protein grams / 11) + (Carbohydrate grams / 9) + (Fat grams / 4) - (Fiber grams / 35) Here's another way of thinking about it: [(Protein grams x 16) + (Carbohydrate grams x 19) + (Fat grams x 45) + (Fiber grams x 5)]/175 Again, a calculator will be your best friend. There are a whole bunch of resources you can find online when it comes to calculating how many points you've earned for your workouts. Onemorepound.com has a good chart that can walk you through it. You'll need to know the intensity and duration of your workout and your weight. 30 minutes of a moderately intense workout for someone that weights 175 pounds is two points. If you wanted to eat that cheesecake, you'll need to work out for a spell, that's for sure. If it wasn't clear, activity points can be lobbed off your daily points usage. If you ate 27 points worth of food, but moderately exercised for 30 minutes, you're down to 25 (weight depending). Huzzah! On this new program, all fruits and many veggies (but not all) are zero points. AWESOME. That's the way it should be. Check your materials or with your weight watcher buddies to find out which ones are on this list. But remember, eating 19 bananas is not the way to go. They should be snacks, not meals! However, they're not zero when they're combined in recipes. Be sure to include their content when you're finding out the point value of dishes you're creating. On this new system, you get 49 points to throw around freely. P.F. Chang's, anyone? The reason the old system got revamped is because it had too much emphasis on calories. If you got confronted with a small bag of cookies and an apple (eat these or your family gets it!), they'd have similar point values. You had no reason to go for the apple over the cookies, even though it's obviously healthier. That being said, both systems do lead to watching calories -- a basic tenant of losing weight. If the original system is easier for you, choose it. If it's easy, you'll stick with it! In general, most foods have higher point values with the new system (apart from fruits and veggies, which are often 0). However, you'll probably have a higher daily allowance, too.
summary: Use an online calculator to pinpoint your daily allowance. Calculate your food points, too. Find out how many activity points you have. Know the "zero" foods. Use your 49 weekly PointsPlus points whenever and however you'd like. Know the differences between the systems.
