The Taj Group of hotels implemented a revenue optimization software to improve profits. Initially piloted at the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, the software helped increase the Taj's gross revenue from Rs. 699.16 crore in 2003-2004 to Rs. 873.24 crore in 2004-2005 through more accurate forecasting and pricing of rooms. The software also helped boost the Taj's net worth, profit before tax, and profit after tax over the same period. Looking to expand internationally, the revenue optimization software will be increasingly important for the Taj Group to maximize profits across its growing portfolio of hotels.

Mapping The City - presentation at Urban Solutions 2 by Sebastian HilfAmplifiedSteve
This document describes a project called "City Perspectives - Mapping the Kotti Kiez" which aims to raise awareness of socio-spatial processes and structures among young people in Berlin through collective mapping workshops. The workshops will have participants map their neighborhood and discuss urban development, gentrification, and how maps can represent different perspectives. The collective map created will then be transferred into a mural to symbolize urban struggles in Berlin. The goal is to empower young people by giving them a way to express their views and show they can shape their urban environment.
The document discusses the promise of human embryonic stem cell therapies for treating various medical conditions such as Parkinson's, stroke, spinal cord injury, and Alzheimer's. It notes the large economic costs of these diseases and conditions. It also outlines efforts to develop new lines of human embryonic stem cells that can be safely used in clinical applications, such as using a feeder-free and serum-free system and following good manufacturing practices. The goal is to generate stem cells without using any animal products and that comply with regulations for therapeutic use.
This presentation summarizes the business of ACT ("Advanced Cell Technology Inc" or "the Company"). It contains forward-looking statements and risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations.
