Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling data in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a system for modeling data, the system comprising a data modeling platform application configured to operate on a set of one or more servers to provide a database layer configured to store data for a set of one or more models. The data for each model is based on a multi-dimensional structure and is stored as a one-dimensional vector. The data modeling platform application is further configured to provide a data modeling application layer comprising a multi-dimensional data interface that provides access to the database layer, and a calculation engine configured to perform calculations across multi-dimensional structures for the set of models. The system further includes a client application configured to transmit requests for data for at least one of the set of models to the data modeling platform application.

Abstract: An improved fishing lure (1) including: a head portion (2); a cap member (6); a body portion (13); at least one plug member (302); and at least one attractant and/or weight means whereby the improved fishing lure provides a means for allowing the angler to control the lure's attraction capabilities, adjusting the lure to suit water and weather conditions and also adjusting its swimming action. In another form of the invention there is provided an improved fishing lure including, a body (13), a head portion (2) connected to the body, the head portion having an interior chamber (3) having a first opening and a second opening to allow water to flow from the first opening to the second opening through the interior chamber, the interior chamber being adapted to receive and retain at least one fishing aid while in use.
