In this vignette we demonstrate how to define new methods, with varying degrees of completeness.
We will generate a dataset comprising two clusters with a different intercept and slope. Firstly, we configure the default id, time, and response variable, so that these do not need to be provided to the other function calls.
Next, we generate the dataset, with 40 trajectories for cluster A and 60 trajectories for cluster B. Cluster A involves trajectories with a downward slope, whereas cluster B has an upward slope. We define a fixed mean of 1, such that all the cluster trajectories are shifted, placing cluster A at intercept 2, and cluster B at intercept 1.
casedata <- generateLongData(sizes = c(40, 60),
data = data.frame(Time = 0:10),
fixed = Y ~ 1,
fixedCoefs = 1,
cluster = ~ Time,
clusterCoefs = cbind(c(2, -.1), c(0, .05)),
random = ~ Time,
randomScales = cbind(c(.2, .02), c(.2, .02)),
noiseScales = .05
We plot the data to get a sense of different trajectories that have been generated. Visually, there is little group separation.
Since we generated the data, we have the luxury of looking at reference cluster trajectories, as stored in the
Mu.cluster column. Note that
Mu.fixed must be added to obtain the correct values.
Rather than starting with clustering, in some case studies there may be prior knowledge on how to sensibly stratify the trajectories. Either by an observed independent variable (e.g., age or gender), or a certain aspect of the observed trajectory (e.g., the intercept, slope, variability).
Let's presume in this example that domain knowledge suggests that stratifying by the intercept may provide a sensible grouping of the trajectories. This approach is further supported by the density plot of the trajectory intercepts, which shows a bimodal distribution.
Based on the density plot, we will assign trajectories with an intercept above 1.6 to cluster A, and the remainder to cluster B.
The approach we specified requires the first observation to be available, and is sensitive to noise. A more robust alternative would be to fit a linear model per trajectory, and to use the estimated intercept to stratify the trajectories on.
We can specify this stratification model by defining a function which takes the data of separate trajectories as input. This function should return a single cluster assignment for the respective trajectory. By returning a factor, we can pre-specify the cluster names.
stratfun <- function(data) {
int <- coef(lm(Y ~ Time, data))[1]
factor(int > 1.7,
levels = c(FALSE, TRUE),
labels = c("Low", "High"))
m2 <- lcMethodStratify(response = "Y", stratify = stratfun, center = mean)
model2 <- latrend(m2, casedata)
#> Low High
#> 0.6 0.4
In case the linear regression step is time-intensive, a more efficient approach is to save the pre-computed trajectory intercepts as a column in the original data. This column can then be referred to in the expression of the stratification model.
We can take the approach involving the estimation of a linear model per trajectory one step further. Instead of using a pre-defined threshold on the intercept, we use a cluster algorithm on both the intercept and slope to automatically find clusters.
We first define the representation step, which estimates the model coefficients per trajectory, and outputs a
matrix with the coefficients per trajectory per row.
repStep <- function(method, data, verbose) {
coefdata <- data[, lm(Y ~ Time, .SD) %>% coef() %>% as.list(), keyby = Traj]
coefmat <- subset(coefdata, select = -1) %>% as.matrix()
rownames(coefmat) <- coefdata$Traj
The cluster step takes the coefficient matrix as input. A cross-sectional cluster algorithm can then be applied to the matrix. In this example, we apply \(k\)-means. The cluster step should output a
lcModel object.
lcModelCustom function creates a
lcModel object for a given vector of cluster assignments.
clusStep <- function(method, data, repMat, envir, verbose) {
km <- kmeans(repMat, centers = 3)
lcModelCustom(response = method$response,
method = method,
data = data,
trajectoryAssignments = km$cluster,
clusterTrajectories = method$center,
model = km)
We are now ready to create the
lcMethodTwoStep method.
model.twostep <- latrend(m.twostep, data = casedata)
#> Longitudinal cluster model using two-step clustering
#> id: "Traj"
#> time: "Time"
#> center: function (x) { mean(x, na.rm = TRUE)}
#> standardize: `scale`
#> clusterStep: `clusStep`
#> representationStep:`repStep`
#> response: "Y"
#> Cluster sizes (K=3):
#> 35 (35%) 25 (25%) 40 (40%)
#> Number of obs: 1100, strata (Traj): 100
#> Scaled residuals:
#> Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's
#> NA NA NA NaN NA NA 1
The two-step model defined above is hard-coded for a given formula and a fixed number of clusters. In an exploratory setting, it is convenient to define a parameterized method. Here, we change the two functions to take arguments through the
lcMethod object in the
method variable.
Note that we can introduce new arguments which are not originally part of
lcMethodTwoStep (e.g.,
nClusters) to enable the specification of the number of clusters in our method.
repStep.gen <- function(method, data, verbose) {
coefdata <- data[, lm(method$formula, .SD) %>% coef() %>% as.list(), keyby = c(method$id)]
# exclude the id column
coefmat <- subset(coefdata, select = -1) %>% as.matrix()
rownames(coefmat) <- coefdata[[method$id]]
clusStep.gen <- function(method, data, repMat, envir, verbose) {
km <- kmeans(repMat, centers = method$nClusters)
lcModelCustom(response = "Y",
method = method,
data = data,
trajectoryAssignments = km$cluster,
clusterTrajectories = method$center,
model = km)
We create a new
lcMethodTwoStep instance with the more generic functions. Defining values for
formula and
nClusters here makes these arguments values act as default values in a call of
m.twostepgen <- lcMethodTwoStep(response = "Y",
representationStep = repStep.gen,
clusterStep = clusStep.gen)
However, because we omitted the specification of
formula and
nClusters, these need to be provided in the
latrend call.
model.twostepgen <- latrend(m.twostepgen, formula = Y ~ Time, nClusters = 2, casedata)
#> Longitudinal cluster model using two-step clustering
#> nClusters: 2
#> formula: Y ~ Time
#> id: "Traj"
#> time: "Time"
#> center: function (x) { mean(x, na.rm = TRUE)}
#> standardize: `scale`
#> clusterStep: `clusStep.gen`
#> representationStep:`repStep.gen`
#> response: "Y"
#> Cluster sizes (K=2):
#> 40 (40%) 60 (60%)
#> Number of obs: 1100, strata (Traj): 100
#> Scaled residuals:
#> Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's
#> NA NA NA NaN NA NA 1
The use of
lcMethodStratify and
lcMethodTwostep enables rapid prototyping. Once the desired model has been identified, it may be worthwhile to implement it as a standalone method in the framework. This way the model can be extended to output more representative cluster trajectories, or to extend the model with predictive capabilities such that it can be validated on external data.
To illustrate this, we will implement a basic group-based trajectory model (GBTM), also known as latent-class growth analysis. We make use of the implementation available in the
lcmm package through the
lcmm() function, which allows for a relatively concise illustration.
lcMethod class
Firstly, we create a new method class named
lcMethodSimpleGBTM, which extends the
lcMethod class.
Note that a
lcMethod class has a single slot
call, which stores all the arguments to the method. The other relevant aspects of a
lcMethod implementation are the
prepareData() and
fit() functions, which are called when passing a
lcMethod object to the
latrend() function or any other model estimation function.
lcMethodSimpleGBTM <- function(formula = Value ~ Time,
time = getOption("latrend.time"),
id = getOption("latrend.id"),
nClusters = 2,
nwg = FALSE) {
lcMethod.call("lcMethodSimpleGBTM", call = stackoverflow::match.call.defaults())
Next, we override the
getName() and
getShortName() functions in our method class to ensure that the model is easily distinguishable from other methods in the summary output. While we return a simple constant character sequence, the naming functions could be improved by generating a more detailed description of the model based on the arguments of the method object.
signature("lcMethodSimpleGBTM"), function(object, ...) "simple group-based trajectory model")
setMethod("getShortName", signature("lcMethodSimpleGBTM"), function(object, ...) "sgbtm")
Implementing the
prepareData() function enables the
lcMethod to do data processing or transforming the data or other arguments in a structure which is suitable for the model fitting procedure. The prepare function takes a
lcMethod, the data as a
data.frame, and the verbosity level as inputs. The processing is passed onto the
fit function by returning an
environment with the relevant variables.
In this example, we need to ensure that the
Id column is an integer.
setMethod("prepareData", signature("lcMethodSimpleGBTM"), function(method, data, verbose, ...) {
envir <- new.env()
envir$data <- as.data.frame(data)
envir$data[[method$id]] <- factor(data[[method$id]]) %>% as.integer()
fit() function estimates the model and should return an object that extends the
lcModel class. In our implementation, we call the
lcmm() with the appropriate arguments, and we construct a
lcModelSimpleGBTM instance. The class is defined in the subsection below. The
envir argument contains the return value of the
prepare() function, which would be
NULL here.
setMethod("fit", signature("lcMethodSimpleGBTM"), function(method, data, envir, verbose, ...) {
args <- as.list(method, args = lcmm::lcmm)
args$data <- envir$data
args$fixed <- method$formula
if (method$nClusters > 1) {
args$mixture <- update(method$formula, NULL ~ .)
} else {
args$mixture <- NULL
args$subject <- method$id
args$ng <- method$nClusters
args$returndata <- TRUE
model <- do.call(lcmm::lcmm, args)
method = method,
data = data,
model = model,
clusterNames = LETTERS[seq_len(method$nClusters)])
lcModel class
We start off by defining the
lcModelSimpleGBTM as an extension of the
lcModel class. Extending the base class also enables the addition of new fields to the class, although there is no need for this in the present model.
Our model inherits a couple of slots from the
lcModel class, namely:
#> [1] "model" "method" "call" "data"
#> [5] "id" "time" "response" "label"
#> [9] "ids" "clusterNames" "date" "estimationTime"
#> [13] "tag"
"model" slot is free to be used to assign an arbitrary data structure that represents the internal model representation(s). In our implementation, this slot contains the
lcmm model. The other slots are assigned in the constructor of the
lcModel class, or by the
latrend() estimation function. It is best practice to use the relevant getter functions for obtaining these values (via e.g.,
Typically, most effort of implementing the model interface goes to the
predict() function. While implementing the function is optional, it is used for obtaining the fitted values, fitted trajectories, residuals, and cluster trajectories. Without this function, there is little functionality from a model except for the partitioning of the fitted trajectories.
The default
fitted.lcModel() function returns the output from
predict(model, newdata=NULL). As such, it is advisable to implement this special case. Here, we move the logic to the custom
fitted.lcModelSimpleGBTM function, as defined below.
predict.lcModelSimpleGBTM <- function(object, newdata = NULL, what = "mu", ...) {
if(is.null(newdata)) {
predMat <- fitted(object, clusters = NULL)
} else {
predMat <- lcmm::predictY(object@model, newdata = newdata)$pred %>%
transformPredict(pred = predMat, model = object, newdata = newdata)
fitted() function should return the fitted values per trajectory per (requested) cluster. If not clusters are provided, the function is expected to return a matrix with the fitted values for each cluster. This logic is handled in the
transformFitted() function, which is available in the package.
fitted.lcModelSimpleGBTM <- function(object, clusters = trajectoryAssignments(object)) {
predNames <- paste0("pred_m", 1:nClusters(object))
predMat <- as.matrix(object@model$pred[predNames])
colnames(predMat) <- clusterNames(object)
transformFitted(pred = predMat, model = object, clusters = clusters)
In order for the model implementation to return cluster assignments through the
trajectoryAssignments() function, we need to implement the
postprob() function to return the posterior probability matrix for the fitted data.
setMethod("postprob", signature("lcModelSimpleGBTM"), function(object) {
as.matrix(object@model$pprob)[, c(-1, -2), drop = FALSE]
Lastly, we override the
converged() function to return the convergence code of the internal model.
m <- lcMethodSimpleGBTM(formula = Y ~ Time)
#> lcMethodSimpleGBTM as "simple group-based trajectory model"
#> formula: Y ~ Time
#> time: getOption("latrend.time")
#> id: getOption("latrend.id")
#> nClusters: 2
#> nwg: FALSE
sgbtm <- latrend(m, casedata)
#> Be patient, lcmm is running ...
#> The program took 0.17 seconds
#> Longitudinal cluster model using simple group-based trajectory model
#> nwg: FALSE
#> nClusters: 2
#> id: "Traj"
#> time: "Time"
#> formula: Y ~ Time
#> Cluster sizes (K=2):
#> 40 (40%) 60 (60%)
#> Number of obs: 1100, strata (Traj): 100
#> Scaled residuals:
#> Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
#> -2.1126 -0.9295 0.4772 0.0000 0.8352 1.3507

Microsoft's decision to de-bundle the Kinect from the Xbox One was a necessary one to compete with Sony's $399 PlayStation 4. The Xbox One and PS4 are now both on par in pricing. However, if you still want that Kinect down the road, it's going to cost you.
This October 7, you'll be able to pick up a Kinect for Xbox One for $149. That's $49 more than buying the Xbox One with the Kinect bundled together for $499, which doesn't add up at all. That's because the standalone Kinect will come with a copy of Dance Central Spotlight.
Kinect for Xbox One was originally intended to be a core experience to the next-gen game console, acting as system-wide voice control system. That dream now lives on, should you still care about motion controls with a camera that can see your skeleton.
Price: $149.99

In terms of style and influence, 2022 was the year of Bella Hadid
When it comes to fashion and influence, we could definitely consider 2022 to have been the year of Bella Hadid. From the supermodel's viral catwalk moments to her eclectic street style – which is emulated by fashion fans the world over – her name has been the one on everyone's lips.
So, it comes as no surprise that the model has been named 'Power Dresser of the Year' in Lyst's Year in Fashion 2022 list; an annual report that analyses the data of its 200 million users to find out the top trends, brands and products of the year.
Over the past 12 months, searches for items such as corsets and cargo trousers increased after she wore them. On average, she encouraged a 1,900 per cent increase in searches for similar styles and pieces.
After Hadid wore one of fashion's most viral items back in September, the ultra mini-platform Ugg boot, the style immediately went viral on TikTok, completely sold out and caused a spike in searches.
Hadid's style has also played a part in the rise of the 'weird girl' aesthetic, another key trend that Lyst has noted coming out of this year.
The style sees a mix and match of unexpected pieces, patterns and colours, creating a bold ensemble. It has been dominating the fashion scene, with other stylish celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Iris Law tapping into the style that offers a fresh spin on maximalist dressing.
As well as her own personal style, Hadid also went viral on the runway, with Lyst naming her Coperni walk as the 'Viral Moment of the Year'. Coperni's spray paint dress was all over social media, particularly TikTok, which gained over one million video views. As a result, Coperni received a 3,000 per cent increase in searches for the brand, making it the most searched from fashion month.

OCR04312 - Tales of Symphonia "Perfect Day"
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsHad this one on repeat for a while now. Very catchy, very sweet and very uplifting. Absolutely loving the ever-present bassline as well as the bright synths and groovy beats. Sounds like a perfect day indeed
Black_Doom reacted to a post in a topic: Final Fantasy VIII: Collision Course - WIP on 9/12 or CUT - NEW MGMT, see page 8
OCR00841 - Contra "Bases Loaded"
Black_Doom replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsThis one holds up surprisingly well! I'm not really familiar with source tune, but I would guess it's a pretty safe arrangement. The track certainly gets repetitive, but it's also quite short, so it's not a big issue after all. And yes, these drums are super sweet. Not mind-blowing overall, but worth a listen for sure.
OCR00838 - Lightening Force "Bio Tech"
Black_Doom replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsThis is pretty neat! I really love the retro-ish instrumentation, and the melody is super catchy. The updated version definitely improves upon some aspects of this track, but I don't mind listening to the original as well - it's an engaging listen, the remix is just full of energy and drive. Sweet.
Those pizzicatos! Loved them in the original, love them here - pretty cool idea to use them as a kind of glue for the entire track! Also enjoyed the usage of Vectorman sources, pretty cool! Especially the stuff going on at 3:10-3:37. The Emerald Hill outro caught me off guard, but not in a bad way for sure Very good work!
OCR00553 - Final Fantasy "Crystal Rave"
Black_Doom replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsI actually don't mind the synth which seems to be the biggest problem for the most people. It gets kinda repetitive, sure, but it's not that bad. Nothing too groundbreaking, and I wouldn't listlen to this on a regular basis, it's just okay.
OCR Final Fantasy CD Giveaway
Black_Doom replied to IsolinearMoogle's topic in CommunityOh, this looks interesting, I'm in! While I've barely played any of Final Fantasy games (only a few hours of FF6), I do know quite a few songs from some of the soundtracks, and I really love them! My pick would probably be "Dash" from Final Fantasy 13-2. I have a soft spot for this J-Fusion/Jazz/Rock/whatever-you-call-it type of stuff, and this particular track hits the said spot for sure! It's just so upbeat and lively! And man, the soloing is exceptionally gorgeous to say the least! I love listening to this one from time to time, and it's especially helpful if I need to cheer myself up
OCR00475 - Mega Man 4 "Let There Be Light"
Black_Doom replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsOne of the greatest songs of early OCR. I've been enjoying this one for a long while now. Dust Man's theme is barely recognizable for sure, but boy, this doesn't make this track less amazing at all. Sound design is way too good for 2001, I should say. Huge drums in the background combined with steady beat, cold pads and synths create a dark and brooding atmosphere. Every section is pretty much on point, the dynamics are just incredible. This remix make me feel like something dramatic, something inevitable is coming. Don't miss this one! P.S. I'm also surprised nobody mentioned this video. Can't think of a better clip for a videogame remix.
OCR00423 - Super Metroid "Darkstar"
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsPretty generic old-school techo/trance stuff. Nothing too mind-blowing, but I can certainly enjoy this track once in a while
OCR01394 - Revenge of Shinobi "Corner of Sunset and Keys"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsOh my god, what an exceptional work! If I didn't know this was written by Jose, my first guess would be Fumie Kumatani, no less! Just listen to her works from Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Unleashed, and you'll see what I mean. This track is so good, it could easily fit into the latter game! Silky smooth Rhodes, glassy piano, funky organ runs, rad percussion licks, bits of vibrphone, solid bassline, and a few dashes of clavinet for good mesure - this jam has it all! And check out the breakdown at 2:18 - so classy, gets me every time! Wonderful remix
OCR00254 - Guardian Legend "8-bit Rox"
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsMan, I can totally see this one in some silly old comedy or something like this, haha. Put a smile on face instantly! It's a simple track and it just works
OCR00181 - Streets of Rage 2 "Badass Posse"
Black_Doom replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsPretty fun stuff! Not quite feeling the piano here at some points, but other than that - a solid listen, groovy enough to get my head bopping
OCR01278 - Super Street Fighter II "Fei Longer"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsAbsolutely badass. Gotta love the drums here, they slap so hard! 1:43 is a total slam dunk for me. Not much else to say really, just a brilliant track
OCR00159 - Final Fantasy "Prelude (Refractive Mix)"
Black_Doom replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsNow that's a Prelude ReMix and a half... I echo absolutely every praise about this track. For a remix from 2000, this is really, really, REALLY good. The juxtaposition of groovy drums against airy leads like dealyed piano and synths is what sells this remix for me. I didn't expect the transition into jungle/breakbeat part at all, but it works surprisingly well! And those chungs later on are a nice addition too! A track worth checking out, especially considering it's age!
OCR01962 - Virtua Fighter 2 "Juunen Hayaindayou"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsWhen I first saw this track, I thought "What is this title, dude", but then I clicked on video and was like "Aha, I see" Very neat track. Super digging the slightly dark and tense atmosphere. It's classic WillRock goodness, so nothing to complain about. Pounding drums, some piano bits here and there, and, of course, top-notch synth work - really love those crazy solos towards the end. Nice one!
OCR04198 - Sonic Unleashed "Adabat's Sunset Speedway"
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsThis was definitely unexpected. "Jungle Joyride - Night" is probably my favorite tune from the game. t's an incredibly mellow/calm/serene source, so dnb might not seem an obvious genre choice at first, but it works very well, which is still a surprise for me. I really love how Faseeh kinda kept the original vibe, but also made it bit more pumping. Nice job!

HAYWARD – In an effort to attract more police officers, Hayward will offer a hiring bonus for entry-level officers and a $20,000 one for experienced officers from other agencies.
In addition, current city employees who refer someone to be hired will be eligible for a $2,000 bonus. A experienced officer is considered to be someone who is already with a different police agency.
"The Hayward Police Department has experienced a significantly diminished pool of well-qualified police officer applicants due to the competitive market and other factors," Police Chief Toney Chaplin wrote in a letter to the mayor and City Council.
The City Council unanimously approved the hiring bonus at its meeting Tuesday. Hayward, like many other cities, has had issues with both hiring officers and retaining them.
Some other area police agencies are using signing bonuses as well for entry-level positions and academy graduates. BART is offering a $15,000 signing bonus and Palo Alto is offering $10,000. The Alameda County Sheriff's Office is offering $12,000 to academy graduates and $10,000 to deputy sheriff recruits.
"This amount is competitive and provides for a substantial recruitment advantage as compared to agencies recruiting in the region," Chaplin wrote in a letter to the council. "The employee hired would make a three-year commitment or repay the city on a prorated basis."
Some local cities are offering even higher hiring bonuses for experienced officers. Alameda is offering $30,000 and Palo Alto is offering $25,000.
The police department expects that hiring 19 officers through both the entry level and lateral bonus programs will cost up to $280,000.

Hello Pretty Little Studio fans! It's Monique here today with a Pinterest inspired layout using the awesome Oakley Avenue collection. When I saw this photo from Pinterest I was really excited as it's perfect for the Oakley Avenue collection which I really wanted to use for today's post. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out 6 feathers and arranged them on my white background similar to the way the arrows in the photo are placed. I added some machine stitching and chose a Fall photo I took of the pumpkins we made last month and got started. Here's the result:
The feathers were cut from the Cozy Blanket paper and Patina (one of the papers from the 8×8 paper pack) and I really like how they turned out!
I also used one of the stamps belonging to this collection! I'm quite proud of that! I'm a huge fan of stamps and have quite a stash, but when it comes to actually using them I always find a excuse why I shouldn't use them … but not now!
And of course I added one of the many awesome flair buttons of this collection, this one is from the "Fall" package.
And because the feathers in the Pinterest photo are actually arrows, I decided to add some arrow die-cuts in between the feathers:
Pretty Little Studio products used:
- Oakley Avenue collection: Patterned Paper: Oakley Avenue 8×8 paper pack, Cozy Blanket; Die-Cuts: Fall Away Arrows, Orchard Words, Fall Faves; Flair: Fall; Vellum Tape: Fall In Love; Stamps: Cedar; Journaling Cards: Apple Cider 3×4; Frames: Weathered.
Thank you so much for stopping by our blog today! Wishing you happy crafting!

I love the recycled glasses, although I was surprised they were so small when they arrived. I had bought one of these same glasses in another store in Marfa last summer, but it was probably a "small" and not extra small. They only had one left in that store or I would've bought four. So I was trying to order 3 more to make it a set. When the extra small ones came I was disappointed at first. But...I decided to keep them anyway since they would be a nice size for drinking port. I had a port the other night in one of them, and it was perfect and I now love them! Maybe one of these days I'll get around to ordering 3 of the "small" size to complete that set too.

It made 5 important conclusions on protecting market value\u0026nbsp;that\u0026nbsp;are directly applicable to the whole food and beverage industry.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe response of the financial markets to US recalls from publicly traded firms from Jan 1994 to Dec 2013 were considered. The financial markets responded to recalls\u0026nbsp;on 5 statistical significant measurement points:\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Health risks\u003c/strong\u003e - stock markets did not react systematically to all recalls but the most statistically significant effect was in relation to \u0026#39;Class I\u0026#39; recalls, ie where a human health risk was involved. It was concluded that prudent risk management decisions should primarily\u0026nbsp;target safety measures for reasons of financial mitigation.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Volume\u003c/strong\u003e - as might be expected, firms recalling a large volume of product were expected to be impacted more than those experiencing a small volume recall. The review advised that firms should try to rapidly identify contaminated products, perhaps by testing products in smaller lots, so that recalls of massive amounts of product were less likely.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Media\u003c/strong\u003e - The extent of media information accompanying a recall event can decrease consumer demand for the implicated product.\u0026nbsp; The research found that once news reaches the public, it will have a negative impact on the firm\u0026#39;s market value. For example, one additional recall-related article published within 5 days after the recall announcement, was found to decrease stock returns by 0.10% on average. Therefore, having a plan in place to deal with this situation and media management strategies is important.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Size \u0026amp; breadth of company\u003c/strong\u003e - The research found that firm size, scale of operations and levels of diversification also influenced how a firms\u0026#39; valuation changed in the midst of a food safety breach. Larger, more diversified firms were expected to be best able to weather a food safety recall than smaller companies. The\u0026nbsp;conclusion was that it is even more important for SME\u0026#39;s to have good crisis management protocols.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Additionally, smaller food businesses might consider investing more of the total firms\u0026#39; value in food safety technologies and protocols as they have a greater risk of bankruptcy in the event of a recall.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.\u003c/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePast experience\u003c/strong\u003e - somewhat counter-intuitively, research found that firms with recurrent recalls had, on average, a stronger stock price 5 days after a recall relative to a firm facing its firs recall in the past year. This pointed to a firm\u0026#39;s past experience in managing recalls as having a direct influence on the outcome of\u0026nbsp;their\u0026nbsp;market value; \u0026quot;that is, firms undertaking an effective food safety crisis management strategy may help minimize stock market reactions.\u0026quot;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe main conclusion was that effective recall management and handling of a crisis, food safety experience and strategy\u0026nbsp;will serve to protect a company\u0026#39;s reputation, which in turn will protect its\u0026#39; market value. Therefore, that good crisis management should be a key point for investors to consider prior to investing in a food company.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n

Robot data reveals how a minor heel or toe miss can penalize your putting
For those who failed to catch the conclusion of the Farmers Insurance Open, take a quick minute and watch the replay of Will Zalatoris' missed 8-footer on the 72nd that ultimately forced a sudden-death playoff with Luke List.
It's easy to fixate on the ball snapping hard left at the cup, but let's back up a second and start at the point where Zalatoris' putter impacts the golf ball.
What do you notice?
As Zalatoris releases the head, the face impacts the ball squarely on the toe side of the putter — a location that could be categorized as a mishit. Nerves certainly come into play on a putt for your first PGA Tour win, but it's interesting to look at the science behind a missed putt from inside 10 feet as well.
Gene Parente, founder of Golf Laboratories and Fully Equipped co-host, conducted robot testing on putts from 10 feet and found that impacting the ball just a half-inch from the center on the heel or toe causes the ball to move roughly 2 to 3 inches offline.
Assuming you have a relatively straight putt, mere inches can be the difference between making the putt and watching it slide by the cup.
Why mishits send the ball offline
The gear effect on a heel miss should cause the ball to leak left, while a toe miss usually heads to the right. Zalatoris' ball actually does the opposite on the miss, but Parente confirmed some mallet putters — Zalatoris uses a Scotty Cameron mallet — he's tested produced the opposite gear effect, with toe strikes crossing over the target line and ending 2-3 inches to the left.
What we can all learn from Zalatoris' agonizing miss is that consistent impact is crucial on putts from shorter distances. Employing a high-MOI mallet can reduce twisting at impact and allow you to get away with the occasional heel or toe strike, but nothing beats a ball coming out of the dead-center of the face.
The next time you head to the practice putting green, spend a few minutes working on consistent impact. It could wind up being the difference between making that 8-footer for birdie or settling for par.

Why the 'Loki' Bisexual Coming Out Scene Was 'Very Important' to the Show's Director
It's official: Loki is bisexual. The character confirmed this in Loki Episode 3, "Lamentis." The reveal wasn't a big surprise to many devoted fans of the comics. But having this scene in the Marvel Cinematic Universe meant a lot to some. This includes the show's director, Kate Herron. (Light spoilers for Loki Season 1, Episode 3 ahead.)
Loki officially comes out in 'Loki' Episode 3
With just six episodes comprising Loki Season 1, there's a lot of ground to cover. The series begins with the God of Mischief being captured by the Time Variance Authority after messing with the sacred timeline. He then joins Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson) on a quest to track down the Variant — who happens to be another Loki.
He follows Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie through a portal at the end of the second episode. Then, the third sees the two learn about one another. In one scene, they ask one another about their romantic lives. Sylvie asks about "would-be princesses or, perhaps, another prince" in his life. Loki responds, "A bit of both. I suspect the same as you."
Director Kate Herron talks about the scene
Marvel previously touted its inclusion of the first LGBTQ character in the MCU with Joe Russo's brief cameo in Avengers: Endgame. But fans weren't exactly pleased with this minimal effort. Which made it even more special when Loki came out in a very official way. And Loki's director, Kate Herron, agreed.
"From the moment I joined @LokiOfficial it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual," she tweeted after the episode dropped. "It is a part of who he is and who I am too. I know this is a small step but I'm happy, and [my] heart is so full, to say that this is now Canon in [the MCU]."
Star Sophia Di Martino commented on 1 aspect
Di Martino's role in Loki remained under wraps until the show's second episode. Her casting was announced way back in November 2019. But she and everyone else involved in the series kept the trademark Marvel silence regarding who exactly she was playing until its reveal.
With Di Martino's on-screen debut as the Variant, she joined the online discussion surrounding the series. She even retweeted Herron's post. She also added a comment about the scene's "beautiful lighting." (The blue, purple, and pink jewel tones mimic the bisexual flag, making for what's often referred to as "bisexual lighting.")
'Loki' is groundbreaking in another way
Many fans weren't shocked to learn about Loki's bisexuality. Comics preceding the series touched upon the character's sexuality and genderfluidity. When a Loki teaser premiered, the latter earned a lot of attention on social media via a file shown that listed his sex as "fluid."
"Breadth and range of identity contained in the character has been emphasized and is something I was always aware of when I was first cast 10 years ago," Hiddleston told Inverse. "I know it was important to Kate Herron and [write] Michael Waldron and to the whole team. And we were very aware, this is something we felt responsible for."

Not The Rodeo I Signed Up For!
I have four adult sons, two of whom I no longer associate with due to meth use. Not just the fact that they use it, but the fact that meth comes before their children. It comes before everything. Meth is not the only drug being used and abused in my family. Another family member is destroying my inner peace, "what's left of it" with opiate addiction. I am surrounded by addicts, and they are making my life a living hell. My home has been burglarized. What few prescious possessions I have, I keep in a lockbox at the bank, in a shared box with a trusted friend. My pain meds, I keep in a safe, with the key in my bra at all times, because I have one addict son living at home. He is disabled, and prescribed pain pills, when his run out, mine have to be under lock and key. I am single again. Imagine that!! Who wound want into this rodeo?! My Mother passed in April, and everyone and everything has spirraled downhill since then. If I didn't believe suicide would be a ticket straight to hell, I would be dead already. I want to disappear.

Thousands Sign Petition For Change After 23-Year-Old Cyclist Is Killed On Dufferin Street
Over 6,000 people have signed a petition calling for change after the death of a 23-year-old Toronto cyclist on December 2.
The petition was started by Mikayla Mauer in memory of Alexandra Amaro, a journalism student at Ryerson University who was struck by two cars while riding her bike on Dufferin Street near Dufferin Mall.
Editor's Choice: You Can Get Up To $400 For Working From Home During The Pandemic & This Is How
She is the fourth cyclist who has been killed this year and the third in the past three months.
Mikayla Mauer
Mauer's petition calls on Toronto Mayor John Tory and Deputy Mayor Ana Bailão to make the street safer and prevent any more accidents.
"Alex's tragic death could've been avoided if the city implemented traffic calming measures and added a crosswalk and red light at the intersection," the petition reads.
"[Tory and Bailão should] not only implement measures to protect both bikers and pedestrians on Dufferin Street, but all across the city - especially at busy intersections," it adds.
Amaro is the fourth cyclist who has been killed this year and the third in three months, the petition claims.
Bailão, who is the councillor for the region that includes Dufferin Street, tweeted on December 9 that the city would be immediately looking into ways to increase cyclist and pedestrian safety on the street.
Bailão says she already submitted a motion with recommendations that would make the area safer for bikers, which was seconded by Mayor Tory.

|Please post older versions of GNU Emacs manuals on the web
|Sat, 2 Jan 2016 08:46:17 -0800 (PST)
If you have a version of GNU Emacs older than 24.4 then you are lucky to still have `defadvice' documented in the Elisp manual. (This useful doc _never_ should have been removed from the manual. But that is not the point of this post.) Suppose you are using Emacs 24.3 (or Emacs 23 or...). You visit the Elisp manual and you use `i defadvice' to visit the advice doc. You want to visit the same manual section on line (HTTP). Perhaps you want to bookmark it for use when you do not have Emacs available. Or maybe you want to send the URL to someone or post it in online Emacs help. Or maybe you want to print some of the HTML pages. Here's the rub. Only the manuals for the latest Emacs release are available on line. And because Emacs (unwisely) removed the doc for `defadvice', you are out of luck. There is no online doc for you. Can GNU Emacs not provide its users with the doc for more than one release on line? How hard and how costly is that? In many cases providing this service is maybe not so important, because Emacs tends to add more than it subtracts (mostly monotonic). But in a case such as the wholesale decapitation of `defadvice' doc you are really out of luck on the web. Wrt `defadvice', the big concession that was made was to keep the doc in the Lisp source code, as comments. That's piss-poor IMHO, but at least it shows some contrition for the sin of removing useful doc from users. How about posting multiple versions of the Emacs doc on line? --- FWIW, I use a simple command, bound to `G' in Info, to visit the current Info node on the web. Sounds silly, but I use it several times a day, to provide links in answers I give to online Emacs questions. (Of course, I also tell users the preferred method of accessing the doc, `C-h i'.) (defun Info-goto-node-web (node &optional flip-new-win) "Use `browse-url' to go to Info node NODE using a Web browser. With a prefix arg, reverse the effect of option option`browse-url-new-window-flag'. NODE is the name of a node in the GNU Emacs or Elisp manual. Alternatively, NODE can have the form (MANUAL)NODE, where MANUAL is \"emacs\" or \"elisp\" and NODE is the name of the node in that manual. Empty NODE in (MANUAL) defaults to the `Top' node." (interactive (list (Info-read-node-name "Go to node: " Info-current-node) current-prefix-arg)) (require 'browse-url) (unless Info-current-file (error "This command must be invoked from Info")) (browse-url (Info-url-for-node node) (list (if flip-new-win (not browse-url-new-window-flag) browse-url-new-window-flag))))

Super Spencer Dinwiddie did not walk through the Barclays Center doors.
The Nets hosted the Wizards on Monday night in Dinwiddie's first game in Brooklyn since his season-ending ACL tear as a member of the Nets at the start of last season. He was subsequently traded to the Wizards this offseason after Brooklyn opted against giving him a lucrative contract extension.
Yet while revenge is a dish best served cold, it was not on the menu in Brooklyn. The Nets spoiled Dinwiddie's return, which was highlighted by a pair of side-step threes and a video tribute at the beginning of the second quarter, with a 104-90 win over his Wizards. Dinwiddie finished with just 10 points and six assists on just 3-of-13 shooting from the field. He blew by a Nets defender before blowing an easy layup for his final shot of the night.
Meanwhile, his replacement Patty Mills lit it up for Brooklyn in the first half with 11 early points. Mills used a jab step to send Wizards point guard Aaron Holiday stumbling before hitting a side-step 3 to close the second quarter. In the fourth, he blew by Dinwiddie for a fading baseline midrange two that extended Brooklyn's lead out to 17.
"He's a winner," Steve Nash said of Mills. "He plays the right way, he's experienced. Obviously he's skilled, but he just brings a great feel to the game, with, without the ball.
"And defensively, he makes our team communicate better. He organizes us both sides of the ball. So he just brings a lot to the table, and he's a great addition to our team."
Mills finished with 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. After shooting 1-of-6 from three in Brooklyn's disappointing loss to the Hornets, the Australian point guard made five of nine attempts on the night.
Though the Nets won in convincing fashion — which is more impressive given that this was the second half of a back-to-back — it's hard to take much from their win over the Wizards. The Wizards are another disorganized team, putting their puzzle together with a brand-new starting lineup and a new head coach in Wes Unseld Jr. Brooklyn built a lead as large as 25 and emptied the bench with four minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
The biggest takeaway might be from a lineup standpoint: The Nets should go with what they know.
It's no surprise the Nets pounced on the Wizards after Nash went with a starting lineup of Kevin Durant, James Harden, Joe Harris, Bruce Brown and Blake Griffin. Those are five of the only eight players on this year's team that were on last year's roster. (Seven if you don't count Kyrie Irving, who is away from the team due to his unvaccinated status.)
Nash has looked at his rotations as an experiment, but on Monday against the Wizards he went with the control group. Brown's insertion into the starting lineup sparked a good mix of playmaking, shooting, scoring and hustle.
After the win, Brown called himself "the energizer bunny" of the Nets. "Once I get going everybody else gets going," Brown said. "I just try to bring energy, get easy ones out in transition just to get out offense going."
Wizards star Bradley Beal finished with 19 points, but he shot just 8-of-22 from the field and 3-of-13 from downtown. He and Durant went back and forth often, with Durant (25 points, 9-of-17 shooting) winning the battle.
"I think we maybe forced them into tough shots. They're tough shot makers and tonight they just didn't hit them," Durant said. "We forced them to shoot over a hand and that's usually a formula. ...Make their best players volume shooters, and we were able to do that."
Nets rookies Cam Thomas and Day'Ron Sharpe checked in with four minutes to go in the fourth quarter, with the Nets up double digits. Sharpe muscled his way to the paint for an easy layup over a smaller Wizards defender, and Thomas hoisted a contested top-of-the-key three that didn't fall. He finished 0-of-2 from the field, missing a mid-range jumper later in the period.

Arkansas school safety commission draft report due to Governor today
The Arkansas School Safety Commission has met seven times following the horrific Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers on May 24. Steve McCraw, the Texas director of public safety, said "terrible decisions" were made that day.
"There's compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to the attack on Robb elementary was an abject failure," McCraw said.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson then ordered the Arkansas school safety commission to reconvene. Hutchinson said part of the $1 billion budget surplus could be used to enhance school safety throughout the state.
"You can have the best-laid plans, but if there's not the audits, the performance indicators and the actual adoption of good policy, then we're going to have vulnerabilities as you've seen in Uvalde," Hutchinson said.
The school safety commission and its sub-committees have been meeting since June 14 with the goal of forwarding three primary recommendations. Members from Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley are helping shape those recommendations. The Fort Smith public schools Chief of police, Bill Hollenbeck, wants the state to standardize active shooter response training.
"There's different types of training, different levels of experience and so forth," said Hollenbeck. "So you know, some of the lessons that we're learning from Uvalde clearly indicate that some sort of unified training system that all officers are on the same page will respond to an active shooter appropriately and then that's obviously to immediately engage the suspect and stop the threat."
Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder agreed. He chairs the sub-committee on law enforcement and security and recommends a school resource officer in every building on every campus in Arkansas.
"From my perspective, we've got to have a law enforcement or at least trained armed people that can immediately respond," Helder said.
To help, Helder also recommended combining SROs with trained and armed teachers called certified school security officers.
"If you really want to move from feeling safe to being safe, this is the direction we have to go in," Helder said.
The commission also discussed locking all campus doors, increasing behavioral threat assessment and enhancing cybersecurity. They also heard from Arkansas students, hoping action is taken to ensure what happened in Uvalde doesn't happen here.
"It's not something that we should have to deal with. the very real possibility that I could be sitting in my AP language class and someone comes in the door and starts killing my classmates, that's not something I should have to learn to accept," said Hamburg High School student, Mary Emily Wrzesinski.

Young people in China are opting at an increasing rate to become morticians. A funeral service center in Jiaxing, a city of eastern China's Zhejiang province has particularly been popular with adults born after 1990. Training for funeral service is showing up in vocational schools around the country.
At a university in northern Taiwan, death is the focal topic in one of the classes. Since 2009, teachers from the school in Miaoli county have been teaching students about dealing with the deceased. The departments offers classes ranging from anatomy and funeral preparation to embalming, and corpse cleansing. Courses range widely from "Experiencing Death" to "handling corpses" and "mortuary makeup".
In 2012, Taiwan passed a bill to gradually establish a certification system for funeral directors.
Social Pressure
The cultural issues in China affect aspiring morticians whose job is to help families through their bereavement and deal with the dead. Young adults who venture into this field are generally met with disapproval from family members. The archaic aesthetic views of older people in China lead to dissatisfaction when their children decide to build a career in the funeral industry. Beijing has 12 of these morticians schools.
A 21-year-old woman from Beijing named Xiao He (pseudonym) who works in Babaoshan Shengxuan Funeral Services hides her profession from friends and family. "Later, my father found out, and he couldn't sleep for the whole night, the next morning he asked me, 'Can you change your major?," said Xiao. It wasn't until a relative died that her father approved of the career path.
Pet Morticians
Xian Hong became a mortician for pets in China to convince members of the country that pets have souls and should be cremated and buried when they die. Since starting her novel career almost four years ago, Xian has embalmed over 1,000 pets.
The cost of cremation for pets is 950 yuan to 2,000 yuan (US$150-$320). The entire procedure lasts two to three hours and Xian says clients are usually eager for it to begin. "Some clients ask us to hurry because they do not want to wait, and some even argue with us. Many still do not have enough respect for dead pets," said the mortician.
Too Much Profit
Since 2003, the funeral service industry has been selected as one of the "ten most lucrative industries" for three years in a row, according to Shanghai-based Oriental Radio Station. Private mortuaries and illegal hearses allegedly take the largest share of the industry's profits.
The mortuary of the First Hospital affiliated to Peking University charges 300 yuan (US$43) for cleaning a body. Additional costs are 100 yuan for cutting toenails, 50 yuan for cutting fingernails, 150 yuan for dressing the body, and 600 yuan for holding a visitation.
These charges are excessive according to the Beijing civil administrative department, stating that the maximum charge for holding a visitation should range from 50 yuan to 600 yuan. Dressing the bodies should cost 100 yuan.
With the enormous financial prospect, the funeral industry's increase among job seekers has risen rapidly. More than 5000 graduates competed for 400 jobs at the Shanghai Funeral Service Center's first job fair in March.
The position of body dressers is one of the most talked-about in the media.

your seeds mostly released
the few that remained
fascinated me
Torn, I was, between wanting
to pluck each one
crack them open
and swallow them whole
or leave each shell
in its protective bed
perfectly secure
I found you
fallen from your
tall sturdy stem
no sign of what
once held you up
face toward the sun
Just the round center of you
mostly buried
under a weathered brown bag
Just the round carcass of you
between two trash bins
swarming with flies
in the sweltering sun
Scoop you up like an abandoned babe
I did
I had grand plans
for my perfectly structured
Alley now behind me
just steps away
from my elementary classroom door
Much larger than
my face
I proudly
held up hers
for show-and-tell
I got at least one "oooh"
but not an "awe"
no one leaned in
when I explained
the symmetrical detail
of her jagged skin
no lives were changed
on that classroom rug
except mine
it seemed
exists everywhere
in the detail of a sunflower shell
in every living organism on planet earth
in the orbit of planets and the life span of stars
in streets and in monitored space above
in my office book shelves
in this poem
Except maybe
the kind that shows up
when you're not looking
that sees the beauty
when all the golden has
fallen away
the kind that is protected
like a lost babe
in the arms
of another
that smolder
with the
beauty of it
hold it up
the sun
Thank you for visiting and listening! 🌻 Be well. 💗 Michele

Roman numerals –
They're so bloody useless !
Their continued presence
Is really excuse-less.
Clocks are okay,
Cos we know by position,
But years shouldn't need such
Subtract and addition.
Just how could the Romans
Be quite so bloody-well thick ?,
With numbers unwieldy
For simple arithmetic.
Don't put them on buildings,
Or credits in movies –
You're being a snob
Who wants to 'improve' me.
Well, maybe with sequels,
But stop after III –
They get so confusing
With eye before vee.
Just how could the Romans
Be quite so damn-well unwise ?,
With numbers whose value
Is so unrelated to size.

Well known theater personality Rajendra Karanth is back once again as a director. Rajendra Karanth directed Ramesh Aravind starrer 'Mangana Kaili Manikya' a few years ago, but the film was a flop. Now Rajendra Karanth has silently directed yet another film called 'Nanjundi Kalyana' and the trailer of the film was released on Monday morning.
'Nanjundi Kalyana' stars Thanush who has acted in films like 'Ale' and 'Madamakki'. This is his third film and Shravya is paired opposite Thanush. Apart from Thanush and Shravya the film stars Padmaja Rao, Kuri Prathap, Manjunath Hegade and others in prominent roles.
'Nanjundi Kalyana' has nothing to do with the yesteryear film except for the title. Manjunath B Naik is the cameraman, while Anup Seelin has composed the music for the film. Thanush's father Shivanna Dasanapura is the producer of the film.
Will there be no trailer for Uppi2? That is what the film team is considering according to sources. There was a fan created teaser when the film was announced and scores of fans-designed posters of the film after that. But Upendra who is directing the film has kept most things about the film a top secret. Only a few visuals of the film have been released and he is said to be averse to releasing a trailer as it could reveal something about the film.
The film's editor Sri CrazyMindz thinks that it is an impossible task to cut a trailer for the film as even bits of the film would reveal so much. Whether to make a trailer or not is the question now and it will be decided in a few more days. The film is scheduled for a August 14 release.

7 Essential Components of a JD Edwards ERP Strategy
I love analogies and my talks with customers are usually full of them. To me, they create a link between technology and business drivers. Technology alone isn't always enough. Yes, you may own a robust suite of applications to meet business requirements, but you also need a strategy that will enable you to maximize the value of large-scale technologies, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) software like Oracle's JD Edwards. It's no different than jumping in a fast car to drive across the country or even across town, you need to have a strategy to get from point A to point B in the most efficient manner by taking advantage of the strengths of the vehicle and minimizing the roadblocks.
Eighty-one percent of digitally mature companies have a clear and coherent digital strategy in place. This figure drops significantly, to 15 percent, for companies that have made little progress in their digital transformation.¹
To better leverage your JD Edwards system for your business needs, you must develop a strategy that's tailored to your company's priorities. Here are seven essential components to build into your ERP strategy to ensure its effectiveness.
1. Current State vs. Future State
Strategy is a map toward a set destination. To get there, you'll first have to assess the current state of your organization. Determine:
- How you are currently leveraging your JD Edwards software
- Your key business processes and their efficiency
- The pain points your processes they create in the business and enterprise IT
From here, you can turn your gaze to the future: where do you want to go next? What goals do you and the business need and want to achieve? Set SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, result-focused, and time-oriented) goals for your JDE system.
Once the future state is imagined, identify gaps in technology (i.e., versions, coding) as well as in-house expertise and capabilities that could hinder your strategy. Include potential solutions for any problems you have, such as using JDE managed services to extend limited in-house staff capabilities.
2. Industry Benchmarks
Just as it's necessary to perform an internal audit, you'll want to investigate the industry and market at large. The aim of the exercise is to understand the uses and best practices of JD Edwards for businesses that have similar processes. Manufacturing companies will leverage their systems differently than civil engineering companies, for example. They'll also have information on different tools and efficiencies that you may want to adopt in your own organization.
Although not always easy to capture without the help of service providers like Oracle partners, such industry benchmarks can inform your strategy to inspire fresh thinking and clarify where improvements must be needed.
3. Upgrade Schedule
Staying current on software versions is a crucial step in getting the most out of your JD Edwards system, yet by no means should you upgrade to the very latest version the day it's released. Doing so may not fit with your business needs or it may create new issues.
Your strategy should consider a process that will help you make effective upgrading decisions as well as a schedule on when and how upgrades will be implemented. Consider what's included in each upgrade and how it will affect your business, then weigh the advantages against the potential problems the upgrade could cause.
Your ERP strategy should include an upgrade schedule that takes these factors into account. You may need to independently evaluate every upgrade, building in time to review new versions, such as EnterpriseOne, before determining when, or if, it makes sense for your business to upgrade your JDE system.
4. Functional Improvements
In addition to upgrades, your strategy should consider how and when to introduce functional enhancements to JDE applications. Further, it should include a process to assess the benefits and risks of such enhancements. For example, your business could require each enhancement be directly aligned to solve a specific business pain point or drive toward a specific goal.
Planning functional enhancements around goals and inefficiencies that affect your business results is a great place to begin improving your JDE system. You can also create functionality based on processes that could give your business a competitive advantage.
5. Cloud and Migration and Development Processes
You don't need to migrate to the cloud immediately – or even in the near future – or but you do need to keep the cloud on your radar. The cloud can help improve security, access, and make upgrades easier. It can also take months to migrate to, especially if your system is highly customized.
Consider your long-term cloud strategy when creating a larger JD Edwards ERP strategy, including when it may make sense to fully transition to the cloud. Remember, you don't need to transition immediately, or even all at once. Many companies use a hybrid cloud and on-premise solution to make the transition gradually when it fits business needs.
While you're considering how to modernize your technology through the cloud, you can also consider Innovation IT models that could help you improve your JDE development processes. Continuous delivery, for example, could help your team deliver new functionality and bug fixes to end users faster. If your team could use continuous delivery, continuous integration, or automation tools to improve your processes, build that transition into your long-term ERP strategy.
6. Staff Training
Sometimes technology alone isn't enough. Often times, companies can have the very latest upgrades and functional enhancements and they still can't capture the most value out of their JD Edwards applications.
Your strategy should go beyond base technology to incorporate staff and user training. By training your staff, you help ensure they have the knowledge and skills to use the system effectively. Identifying skills gaps, which is also included in your internal assessment, should become a cyclical practice that may benefit from external experts with the necessary depth of ERP experience.
7. Prioritize and Plan Strategy Execution
An ERP strategy is essential, but it's ineffective if you don't have a way to execute it. Once your goals and processes are in place, start prioritizing them. What will have the biggest impact on your business? What can you deprioritize? Create a schedule that maps out the steps required to complete each project.
Of course, not all elements of your strategy – consider version and functional upgrades – can be fully planned in advance. However, planning wherever possible will ensure you stay on track and key elements of your strategy are widely known among your IT team and business leaders. By keeping your strategy and its execution top of mind, you help demonstrate how your team is using technology strategically to improve your business, along with setting deadlines to ensure tasks get done.
Include Business and IT Leaders in Strategy Creation
Building and executing an ERP strategy begins with setting aside the time to do it. It also requires bringing the right experts to the table to provide the input needed to shape a strategy that will drive your business toward its goals.
Create your strategy in conjunction with other key business leaders, getting your CIO, CTO, CEO, and other stakeholders in a room to provide feedback. Everyone should understand your plan moving forward and how you're going to address crucial technology and process needs. Successfully getting buy-in from top leadership and team members at this stage will help ensure your strategy is a success.
