Adding and Editing Adjustments
To add or edit an adjustment:
1. Create a new adjustment batch or select the existing batch you want to use, as described in the preceding section.
2. Use the Entry Number field to create a new entry or to select an existing one, as follows:
• To start a new entry, click the New button beside the Entry Number field.
• To select an existing entry for editing, click the Finder or press the F5 key, then choose the document from the Finder, or type the entry number.
3. Enter the adjustment or make changes, as follows:
• Enter an optional description for the entry.
• Enter the adjustment date.
• Enter the posting date. (The posting date determines the fiscal year and period to which the transaction is posted.)
• If you are adding a new entry, type the customer number or choose it from the Finder.
• Type an optional reference for the adjustment.
• Type the document number to which the adjustment applies, or choose the document from the Finder.
• If the selected document includes a multiple payment schedule, type the payment number you are adjusting.
4. Enter the distribution details:
• To adjust an existing detail from the posted document:
i. Click the first blank line on the detail‐ entry grid.
ii. Click the Adjust Line Number Finder, highlight the detail you want to change in the window that opens, and then click the Select button.
iii. Press the Tab key to display the detail information from the posted document.
• To add a new detail for the posted document:
i. Click the detail‐ entry grid, then press the Insert key on your keyboard to create an adjustment detail line.
ii. Enter a distribution code (or choose one from the Finder).
Skip the Distribution column, and type the general ledger account number for the detail. (If you use Sage Accpac General Ledger, you can use the Finder to select the account.)
• Enter a debit amount to reduce the balance of an invoice or a debit note, or a credit amount to increase the balance of these document types.
• If the selected document is job ‐ related, additional columns appear on the grid that let you add or adjust job ‐ related details. You can add a detail that did not exist on the original invoice, debit note, or credit note by specifying a particular contract, project, category, and (for a standard contract) resource.
• If you use retainage accounting, retainage columns appear on the grid (for documents posted using Accounts Receivable 5.4, or later). Use them to add or adjust retainage for each detail, as follows:
− To increase the retainage, enter the amount of retainage in the retainage debit field.
− To decrease the retainage, enter an amount in the retainage credit field.
− Enter the retainage due date.
If you are adding a new detail, note that the retainage document detail will inherit the Discountable status from the distribution code used in the detail. If you do not use a distribution code in the adjustment detail, the retainage detail will be discountable by default. If you posted the original document using a version earlier than Accounts Receivable 5.4, see step 6.
5. If you use optional fields, click the Optional Fields tab. Accounts Receivable assigns to the entry any adjustment optional fields set up for automatic insertion. You can add, delete, or change adjustment optional fields for the entry, as necessary.
6. If you are adjusting retainage, click the Retainage tab, then enter the retainage terms, and (if you use multicurrency) the retainage exchange rate. If you are adding or adjusting retainage for a document created with a version of Accounts Receivable earlier than version 5.4, also:
− Enter the amount by which to add or increase retainage in the Retainage Debit field.
− Enter the amount by which to decrease retainage in the Retainage Credit field.
If the selected document is job ‐ related, you add or adjust retainage for individual projects on the detail‐ entry grid, as described in step 4.
7. If you use multicurrency accounting and need to edit the exchange rate information for the adjustment, click the Rates tab.
Ordinarily, you enter adjustments at the same exchange rate as was used for the document being adjusted. The original rate is displayed as the default rate on the Rates tab.
If you post an adjustment at a different rate from the exchange rate used for the invoice or other document you are adjusting, a realized gain or loss transaction is created for the general ledger exchange gain or loss account. These entries determine the exchange rate at which the adjustment amount is converted to the customer's currency.
9. Click Add to add the adjustment to the batch, or click Save to save your changes.
8. Make the changes you need in the Rate Type and Exchange Rate fields.
After using
• Print the Batch Listing report. Make corrections, if needed, and then reprint the listing for each corrected batch. You must print batch listings before posting if you selected the Force Listing Of All Batches option on the Options form. Once the batches are correct, file the reports.
• Select the Ready To Post option for each batch in the Adjustment Batch List form. If you post each batch individually from the Adjustment Batch List form, you can set the Ready To Post option automatically by choosing Yes when prompted.
• Post the batches.
• If you post an adjustment that affects a bank account, make a similar adjustment to the bank in Bank Services. Accounts Receivable does not send adjustment information to Bank Services.

Win PACIFIC RIM on Blu-ray and Enjoy This Exclusive Clip
By Kyle Anderson on October 15, 2013
The above clip is an exclusive artist's storyboard rendering of the majestic and mighty Shatterdome sequence from Pacific Rim, in which a trio of humanity's most powerful Jaegers are flown via helicopter into Hong Kong Bay to fight what they think will be just another Kaiju. Oh, my heavens, are they wrong.
This clip is just one of the many things you'll find on the extensive special features list for the Pacific Rim Blu-ray, which hits stores both real and virtual today. Guillermo del Toro's epic world-building extravaganza pits a small but dedicated band of pilots and scientists against a seemingly endless cadre of titanic beasties coming from a crack in the Earth's crust. Why are they here? Where do they come from? It's taken a while to figure out. Luckily for humanity, Jaegers exist. Who wouldn't think to create huge robots to battle otherworldly behemoths? And you get plenty of city-smashing and monster-blasting as only the master of cinema fantasy can give us.
If you think you're brave enough to pilot your own Jaeger (we're assuming you're calling your recliner in front of your flatscreen a "Jaeger"), then you'll definitely want to enter our contest for a chance to win a copy of Pacific Rim on Blu-ray. It's got hours of behind-the-scenes and making-of content on every aspect of the film from its inception, designing, scripting, shooting, editing, scoring, and whatever else you can think of, all supervised by Guillermo del Toro himself. You'll even get access to his own personal notebook, in interactive digital format, to give you a glimpse into the mad genius' brain.
To enter to be one of five (5) winners, simply enter your email address and comment below with what your Pac Rim Timeline would be. What would you have done when the Kaiju were spotted? Let us know and you'll be entered to win! Be sure, of course, that you've provided a valid email address for your comment or you're sadly out of luck. Once you're entered, you can share this fact by liking our Facebook, following us on Twitter, and encircling us on Google+ pages, share and comment, in order to receive extra chances. Four names are better than one; it's like having two Jaegers on your side.
You've only got until Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013, to enter, or your contest timeline will certainly end with "Missed out on chance to win."
Once the Kaiju were spotted, I'd probably crap myself….THEN, I'd learn martial arts, get ripped, get my mind-meld on, fight some 200ft freakies and hopefully die a heroes death.
I, for one, will welcome our new Kaiju overlords.
after my nerd boner calms itself, I would find out how i can get involved with the PPDC and enter the kaiju research field
I would escape to my secret space station that's orbiting the Earth. Disguised as satelites and space garbage.
I would escape to my secret space station that's orbiting the Earth. Disguised as satelites and space garbage.
Called Batman. Duh.
Once the Kaiju arrived and the Jaegers were out in force, I'd most likely be at home fanboying. I can see it now, simultaneously building models of my favorite Jaegers and wiping my frightened tears off the instruction booklets….
My Jager would have some kind of "shiny metal butt" attack…
Yeah, its called "Bender Rodriguez"
i would love to win the blue ray it would be so cool that me and my friend can watch or family.
The previews look so good. -
I would have helped designed Jaegers!
One: Panicked, because LA isn't too far from San Francisco, as the giant extradimensional monster walks.
Two: Once it became obvious that Kaiji were an epidemic and not a one-off disaster, moved back to Colorado (after one last farewell trip to Disneyland, of course).
Three: Fundraised like mad for the PPDC.
I would head immediately to a safe zone in Freeport, Nova Scotia. Thankfully, it's only a couple of hours from my house. Oh, wait, that's my World War Z timeline. If it's Kaiju, then we hit the road for Saskatoon!
Well I instinctively would want to move my family into the mountains, but considered we are woodland folk' (we live in a National Forest) My family probably wouldn't survive right away in the mountains. So perhaps I would just keep us there praying that we are secluded enough from the cities…
I would likely have signed up early on to be part of the Kaiju analysis team. Looking at footage of them in action and remains to find patterns and hopefully weaknesses.
I would have joined the Jaeger program after finding a way to secure family. The best place for me would have been part of the PR department. In the end it was politics that was dismantling the best strategy and focusing on ineffective plans. A good PR campaign would have helped keep public pressure on politicians to maintain support for the fighting heroes.
I would have left the country.
I would get out of Dodge…or more accurately, go somewhere close to Dodge City.
I would move to Australia. Beautiful country and doesn't seem to ever be involved in anything on such a scale.
If I heard that we were under threat of a Kaiju attack, I would move my family to live either on the Golden Gate Bridge or in the Statue of Liberty, because y'know those things never get destroyed in apocalyptic movies.
I would have started looting. I mean helping injured people and stuff but also doing looting on the side.
I would have ran! IVE SEEN THE MOVIES CLOVERFIELD, GODZILLA! NO WAY

I would love to say that I would go work to fight them but I have absolutely no skills in that field and would just be running around asking if I could play with the giant robots. Since this is more of a hinderance than a help I think I would just head for the northern woods in Maine where I live. I would build my fortress on top of a mountain and protect it with giant trebuchets that can hurl flaming barrels of oil at approaching monsters.I am already proficient in farming and rural living and I think I would survive just fine till someone much smarter than me was able to defeat them.
I'd start selling Jaeger & Kaiju figurines.
Id take shelter, michael shannon style.
I'd take shelter, michael shannon style.
Living in manhattan, I figure I have three options:
– hide in an old fallout shelter (which are marked all over around the city)
– Make the long trek via the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel to Jersey (aka the mainland)
– Similarly make my way to the Bronx to also join the mainland.
You don't want to be stuck on a island that is being destroyed Cloverfield style
I would start my own company that builds giant robots.
That's pretty easy – pussied out. I would have packed up a bag full of my belongings and by hook or by crook, gotten my ass to the middle of the country.
I would have probably been getting out of class when the news broke. I would have headed to satellite(university food court) to check out what the news was saying and then planned from there. Probably while taking a call from mom freaked out mom.
I wouldn't have to do jack. I work in finance for a steel company in Michigan, whether they're using steel to build Jaegers or walls, I'll just sit back and cash my bonus checks!
I would have totally volunteered for the PPDC. I might not have had a super important job, but I would still want to do something to help the effort.
I was a math major in college and I love astrophysics, so the idea of alien life forms coming through what is essentially a wormhole would excite me to no end. I'd probably be like Charlie Day's character and try to work in the science part of the defense program. I'd be way more interested in trying to understand how and why it's all happening. Once the Kaiju are defeated, I'd use my work experience to get a job at NASA, cuz why the hell not.
More than likely there would be some panic followed by trying to get my family moved off of the coast. Now moved inland where land value will have just skyrocketed I would try to find work quite possibly ether directly working on planetary defense or is some support field given that the largest industry would now be Jager development.
Bring back Walter White by way of The Walking Dead virus and then make him make a Jaegar called MecaHiesenberg to fight out the Kaiju, it would be epic!
I'd probably get caught up in the Jaeger/Kaiju hype and buy all the merchandise after all the panic died down. Assuming I wasn't killed in the first few attacks, that is.
I would have stayed right here in Wisconsin. I think we would have stayed safe.
I would have moved to a small island in the middle of Pacific called Waponi Woo, and started mining all the Bubaru and used it to build a rocket to leave Earth.
First, I would probably panic and my first thought would be of running away. Granted, I live smacked down in the middle of FL so not much would probably happen. However, after a brief reality check I would jump into my own little Jaeger, Luna (my car), and I would go where the action is. Secondly, by any means possible I would try to help the PPDC. Once I make it in I can get close to the action and take photographs with my amateur Kodak Az521 camera so that I can transfer them to ink and paper (I am an artist after all!). In the end, I can tell future generations of how I helped save humanity and became a famous artist in the process.
I'd move to the middle of Tokyo – what are the chances that all the films were right and the first place Kaiju head for is the capital of Japan?
I would scream uncontrollably, crap my pants and hide under my bed. After a few days, I would take my wife and kids and move to Montana, 'cause there is no reason for Kaiju to come to Montana (or anyone else, for that matter).
First I'd need to procure new underwear from the nearest black marketeer that immediately popped into existence.
Years of SF reading/watching/writing have prepared me for the realities of that day, so I'd like to think I'd be one of the first to sign up to stop the damn things.
It's been 6 weeks since the first Kaiju came and destroyed everything in it's path. Hiding in these Mayan ruins in Guatemala is the only place we felt we could be safe from an attack. Away from civilization. Living off the land as our ancestors did isn't so hard when you don't have to focus on earning money to buy the necessities of life. My plan wasn't to stay here though. I just wanted to make sure my family was safe. in 2 weeks time I plan on leaving to enlist in the fight the Kaiju as a warrior.
* 2 Weeks Later *
They would not except me. Something to do with my vision and if one of my contacts falls out, it would leave me blinded and unable to fight a Kaiju. I return to my family in Guatemala to find they have all died of Small Pox. -
Move as far away from the oceans as I can. Settle on the Grand Tetons, from where I can spot any kaiju coming. Plant explosives around to cause massive rockslides if they try crawling up.
1. Panic
2. Think – "All my childhood tv shows were right – giant monsters did exist. I should have paid more attention to what happened in the show."
3. Everyone else is leaving so why not plunder the abandoned stores and attempt to hide it out in basements with a horde of food supplies -
I'd sit back and relax- the dummies wouldn't bother attacking my town, up by lake Huron, would it? I mean, I guess it would be possible to swim up the Saint Laurence river and navigate through the Great Lakes, but what self-respecting Kaiju would pass by Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Cleveland and Detroit without stopping to wreak a little havoc?
I'd have plenty of time to find and even more remote location in Saskatchewan.
This is my ideal scenario for Earth's reaction:
Day1-Year1: Use conventional weapons. Evacuate all coastal areas. Keep bureaucrats busy at UN. Scientists (NASA)/select military initiate coalition with countries capable of producing 21st century weapons. Use former (there's a bunch) of former space shuttle landing sites to become bases for manufacture, R&D and pilot training. Jaeger headquarters at Cheyenne Mountain. Use/develop non-conventional power sources (geothermal, solar, nuclear). Advertise big rewards for data on Kaiju, huge rewards for physical evidence.
Year2: Jaegers developed into Stealth aircraft with amphibious capabilities. Drifitng involve multi-personnel and rotate among crew. Drifting refined to center into frontal lobe/left brain only involvement. Creative decisions provided by non-drifting crew.
Year2+: Deus ex machina would involve Elon Musk's ideas and certain high-tech corporation's past profits.
I really should have paid more attention to my physics, chemistry and geology courses!
1. Panic
2. Find a safe place to take shalter
3. Study the Kaiju as Dr. Newton did
4. Disguise myself as a baby Kaiju
5. Work my way through the gateway to their world
6. Live amongst the Kaiju
7. Find their leader
8. Destroy the leader
9. Rule the Kaiju
10. Wipe out Earth for the heck of itBooyah!
move to Antartica and pray for the best

Massachusetts HVAC Schools with Overviews of Training Programs
Massachusetts has eight colleges that offer HVAC programs. Learn about the programs, tuition info and program options for these schools to make an informed education decision.
Essential Information
Students in Massachusetts can learn about HVAC equipment and components through certificates, diplomas and associate degrees. Certificates are the most common. Courses cover topics in the installation, repairing and troubleshooting of HVAC systems. Some credits can be transferred to higher-level degree programs.
Most programs can be completed in less than a year, and some are available part time in the evenings. Internships may also be available. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that individuals who work with refrigerants obtain licensure. Programs may also prepare students for certification.
Bay State School of Technology
Located in Canton, Bay State School of Technology offers both commercial and domestic refrigeration and air conditioning programs.

Can I pre-schedule my donation for Idaho Gives?
In the weeks leading up to Idaho Gives, donors can pre-schedule a donation that will be included in the 24-hour event on May 1st. To do so, a donor will need to create a Razoo user account so Razoo can securely save donation information for processing during Idaho Gives. On May 1st, all scheduled donations will be processed and a user's card charged with the donation transaction information previously saved. The user will receive an email with a tax-deductible receipt when the donation transaction is complete. Follow these simple steps to schedule a donation:
- Select "Schedule My Donation" at idahogives.org
- Search for the nonprofit you wish to donate to (up to 5 donations at a time)
- Select green "Donate Now" option on each nonprofit's page
- Create a user account as prompted*
- "Complete" your donation

*In order to schedule a donation, a donor must save his/her credit card information in a secure Razoo user account. If a donor does not want card information stored, he/she will need to return on May 1st to make a live donation during Idaho Gives.
What if the nonprofit I want to donate is not listed?
Try to search on a different keyword or more exact location. Remember that some organizations may provide services in your community but have a home office in another town. If the organization you are looking for is not participating in this year's Idaho Gives, please consider giving to one of the many participating nonprofits.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
100% of donations through Idaho Gives are tax deductible. No goods or services may be received in exchange for a donation, in accordance with IRS rules.
How much of my donation will go to the nonprofit I select?
93.1% of every donation will go the organization designated by the donor. To cover the costs of the technology platform, bank fees and the organization and promotion of the day, a 6.9% administrative fee will be assessed. Your receipt will reflect 100% of your donation amount.

The Razoo Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that provides online charitable giving solutions to support a new era in philanthropy. By leveraging secure and efficient technologies, the Razoo Foundation seeks to provide high-value, low-cost, end-to-end solutions for donors and nonprofits to easily fundraise and engage in charitable giving activities.
Who will receive my contact information?
The organization you choose to support will receive your name and contact information, unless you choose to make an anonymous contribution. As the host and sponsor of Idaho Gives, the Idaho Nonprofit Center will also receive contact information, but agrees not to share that information or contact individual donors for any reason.
Do I have to establish a Razoo account in order to give?
No. However, if you wish to make multiple donations, creating an account with Razoo (the technology platform provider) simplifies the process. An account allows you to enter your contact and credit card information once en route to making multiple donations. A Razoo account also enables you to track your donations, view receipts in one location and review the charities you support.
How do I get a receipt for tax purposes?
Once your donation is successfully processed, the Razoo Foundation emails a receipt to you immediately. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please retain your receipt as an official record. If you misplace the email receipt, you can view your giving history and receipts by logging into your Razoo account. Alternatively, request a duplicate receipt by emailing email@example.com. Be sure to include your name, donation date, amount and name of your designated nonprofit.

A young child begins her journey of reading and writing as she learns to read and write her first word. For most children, that first word is her name. But just how do preschoolers make the jump to writing their names and the other letters of the alphabet? And is there a right and wrong way to teach your child to write?
"Ideally, the first materials used are not markers and pencils but materials that allow children to strengthen the muscles in their hands needed to properly hold writing implements," says Mara Guckian, early childhood specialist and managing editor for Teacher Created Resources. "We add a tactile (kinesthetic) component when we practice shaping the letters with different materials. Shaping letters with dough, tracing them on textured paper cutouts, and writing in the sand or salt trays all help children internalize the shape of the letter, while developing their fine motor skills."
Young children learn best when they are taught using a multisensory approach, involving as many senses as possible. Try a few of these hands-on letter formation and name writing activities for beginning writers and your child will have all the skills she needs as a beginning writer.
Letter Formation
Try a few of these fun activities to help your beginning writer learn the correct strokes when writing the letters of the alphabet:
- Air Writing. Have your child write letters in the air first. These large muscle movements will help your child process what she is writing and make it more likely to stick. As she writes the letter, have her say the letter name or the directions for writing the letter. For example, for the letter T, she might say, "Start at the top, go straight down. Pick up your pencil and cross it."
- Foamy Fun. While your child is in the tub, spray a bit of shaving cream on the side of the tub or wall. On a hot day this is also fun to do outside, and your patio table will sparkle when you're done! Allow your child to practice writing letters, and then erase and try another set. A playful challenge will get your child even more excited to write.
- Kitchen Tracing. Pour a small amount of sand or salt in a cake pan or baking dish. Allow your child to practice tracing letters without the pressure of more permanent writing utensils such as markers and crayons. If she makes a mistake, she can simply erase what she wrote and try again.
- Paint Practice. For a non-messy alternative to fingerpaint, put a bit of fingerpaint inside a quart or gallon zipper bag. Remove the air, seal the bag and double the seal with some masking or duct tape. Your child can practice tracing letters on the outside of the bag, manipulating the paint with no mess or cleanup!
- Learn Your Letters. When she is ready to move to paper, give her large sheets of paper and show her the strokes to make different letters. If you can give the letters human characteristics, it will be even more fun! (For example, a letter E is a straight line with a hat, a belt and a shoe.)

So here is our situation i am traveling in december with my brother his wife and kids my sister me my husband and my kids So we have started and let me list all out people 12 year old girl 12 year old boy 10 year old girl 17 year old boy Brother Sister brothers Wife My husband me As our large group i see that we want a deluxe villa a resort wouldn't house all of us. I was thinking the boardwalk inn villas because my 12 year old son is a 40-60's nut i mean he really loves the time period Would this be a wise decision like is it kid friendly is it fun for the kids and would it house all of us and is the hotel just generally a nice one? Also p.s we know the area we were pass holders but they expire in July and sense we have a big party we are going to plan it all out because usually sense were pass holders we just go for rides not the Disney magic but like they say experiencing the whole thing is better so just on the hotel please and not the Disney experience in general
1st question - do you really all want to stay in one room? For some families that works, for others a bit of apart time works better. You look to have 9 so could stay - when booking through Disney - in a 2 BR at the following resorts: Old Key West Bay Lake Tower Treehouse Villa at Saratoga Springs (assuming you could rent one through Disney) I think a 2 BR would be uncomfortably crowded given the ages of your party. Or you could stay in any DVC 3 BR Grand Villa. All will be quite expensive booking through Disney.
I think OKW would be a good place because the rooms are huge!! It's very comfortable there & you won't be crowded.....2 full baths, sleeps 9, 1 King, 2 Queens, pull out sofa & pull out chair. BLT rooms seem to be much smaller. Good luck with your decision!
While nine people will fit in an OKW two bedroom villa, it would be very uncomfortable since most of the are adults. You'd be better off getting multiple rooms. The BW Villas do not sleep nine unless you get a grand villa and there are only seven of them. I'd bet they were all booked already. The two bedroom villa at BWV does not have the sleeper chair and (if you booked through DVC and not Disney) you could have nine, but no bedding or bed space would be provided. You'd have to provide your own air bed. If you booked for cash through Disney instead of DVC, you would only be allowed eight persons. And if any one suggests renting points from a DVC member, you are nearly 7 months out from early December and that is one of the most popular time for DVC members except for the holidays. And getting a two bedroom villa at OKW may be very difficult.
I would suggest getting separate rooms. Getting a 2 bedroom or even a 3 bedroom would be very uncomfortable considering the ages of those in your party.
When I stayed at BLT there were 9 of us (all adults) and it worked out great for what we needed. We didn't feel like we were on top of each other at all. We loved having 3 bathrooms.
A 2 bed or grand villa - if available - will be quite expensive. I would consider separate rooms or staying at bonnet creek or an off-site resort.
Ok well we were planning to get two seprate rooms i was kind of hoping you guys would give me a hands on review of the boardwalk inn Such as is it a good hotel for kids that age(ps im talking about the 12 and 10 year olds the 17 year old wont care where we stay because he is on his computer all day(shame))
I think the BWI is fine, but if I had a choice of Epcot resorts, I would pick Beach Club or Yacht Club to be able to use Stormalong Bay - which is the huge pool shared by those resorts.
I agree. I have stayed at both BC and BWI and much prefer BC. The pool is fantastic and, if you want to enjoy the ambience of BWI - the night entertainment, restaurants, etc. - it is just a walk away. BC or YC gets my vote over BWI!

To understand when and why to design products for variants, look for the points of difference. Two different models of a truck, for example, probably have a dozen or more features that differentiate them.
Companies often don't start out designing for variants, sometimes because they lack market experience with a new product. A product development team might develop an initial product for a specific customer or use case. As the product gets customer feedback, requests for multiple variations of the initial product start to come in. If the product variants are not developed effectively, maintaining and improving each product version simultaneously can become inefficient and time-consuming because you duplicate work.
Maintaining similar software code separately across multiple products can take more development resources than starting out with product variants in mind. If you needlessly create duplicate work for each variant, eventually you cannot respond to new customer requests for variants quickly enough. A new product development process to include variant management becomes necessary.
Identifying the need for variants
Designing for variants depends on the market maturity of the product and knowledge of how customers want to use the product. When a company introduces new technology, determining how customers will use it is challenging. Existing customers are not sure what changes they might need. With market uncertainty, the focus is on getting the product out the door to see how it performs, rather than on building a "product portfolio" or designing for variants.
When a product succeeds, the company gains market intelligence, and what variants are needed gradually becomes clear. For example, Craig Jacobs, Manager of Systems Engineering for the Eaton Corporation's Vehicle Group, says they created their first heavy-duty hybrid vehicle transmission variant, shown in Figure 1, by using the "clone-and-own" method. They made a copy of the first product and modified it. At that point, they had not identified the need for a full variant management process. A new design with some new components and software met the customer need. Then Eaton maintained both products separately.
However, as product improvements are made to one variant, they need to be reproduced in the second variant. This approach is not as efficient as true reuse, where modifications such as bug fixes that are made in one variant are automatically included in the second. As more variants become necessary, clone-and-own becomes less and less efficient.
Figure 1. The parts of the truck that Eaton builds
Base hybrid transmission system architectures from the same company might be the same around the world, but each customer requires the flexibility of interfacing with a different engine. These engines have electric motors with different power ratings and batteries with different capacities. Customers in different automotive markets also require the addition or subtraction of auxiliary electrical devices, such as AC power, heating, power steering, and so on.
Other industries have different but similar reasons to build variants. Developing variants requires that you identify the product behavior, divide that behavior into features, and vary the features. Variants can then be developed based on design rules. When you design a system with variants in mind, you anticipate where you expect variants to occur. This approach can be as simple as building clean interfaces or as complex as tagging the artifacts at potential places where variants might be needed (variant points).
Developing a variant management business strategy
A company goes through predictable steps in the transition from developing a single product to variant management. Typically, when requests for variants start coming in faster than a company can handle the requests, it is time to move to a design management strategy. Variant requests can come in the form of new requirements and behavior from customers and new suppliers from new markets. The transition from one design management strategy to another while supporting customers is a big decision. Management might not view such a big change positively.
To build a good business case, consider these factors:
- Time to market and resource availability
- If the opportunity window is small and your resource availability is limited, you might not want to design for variants at all. Instead, control might be easier if you can restrict the scope to a single variant.
- Market understanding
- Are you confident that the market will adopt your product? If not, do not invest the additional resources in variant design.
- Global ambition
- Nearly every country has unique rules and regulations. If you plan to compete in areas other than your home market, you will probably need a variant.
- Product maturity
- If you have not been developing your product for years, it is likely that you will need to vary and change your product as the product matures.
- Customer behavior
- Are you a subsystem supplier with multiple customers that demand differentiated final products? If so, designing for variants can help.
Gaining efficiencies through variant management
Companies shift to a variant management approach to improve their time to market and lower their maintenance costs. Using IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® modeling software in a systems engineering workflow to design for reuse and envision product line variants can provide efficiencies. Rhapsody helps you analyze and validate requirements, design rapidly with prototypes, and deliver more consistent applications by using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This approach helps you design ease of integration of variants for OEMs and new component suppliers. For hybrid engine suppliers, for example, component interface specifications need to be written with the assumption that physical parameters will vary. Component and system software is designed for calibration capability to expand the product line efficiently. System functions are designed to be easily enabled or disabled.
Figure 2. Rhapsody diagram of the components of a specific variant
In Rhapsody, you can represent variants by using stereotypes and tags that are applied to a model element to indicate how the element changes for the variant. With this approach, you can explain the specific product variant more clearly. The stereotypes and tags can control the code generation of the final software that goes into the embedded device.
Engineers choose the level of abstraction to show the variant structures in Rhapsody. This design philosophy enables quick integration of new customer requirements and behavior into the system. Hybrid design groups can more efficiently support dozens of different customers, applications, and regional requirements.
A common solution in automotive companies is to load the appropriate variant into the code through a configuration file at run time. One main software file contains all of the necessary code, but the configuration file drives the decision about which code or set of calibrations to use for each variant. The reasons for using just one executable file are low volume, available memory, and ease of distribution to many locations across the company.
In combination with a load time strategy, you can use Rational® ClearCase®configuration management software to check in code variants as separate branches of a tree. With ClearCase, you can easily combine the branch variants. Automotive companies can merge regional requirements into global requirements and turn variants on and off, as shown in Figure 3. They create variants and then merge the variants into one deliverable. ClearCase supports views of different software code streams. By focusing on their own views, engineers can focus on their specific variants.
Figure 3. ClearCase view shows products diverging and then merged again
Deploying variants in software code
Variants in software code can be deployed in a product at several points in the development process:
- At code generation time. Rational Rhapsody can generate code based on the variant that is selected for a specific product. The code is specific to the product and faster to read without code for other variants.
- At build time. Use build time options such as these:
- Compiler directives, such as
- Inheritance where one build includes a different child from another
- Compiler directives, such as
- At run time (typically at initialization). On initialization, the product configuration files are loaded into the application, causing it to use only designated variants.
Build time deployment is used when there is a high volume of code. However, build time variants can be hard to manage. For example, Eaton used this method previously, but they found that the overhead was too great, especially for managing many builds and ensuring that the right build was used for the right hardware variant. Significant overhead is associated with releasing software, releasing part numbers, and moving that process throughout the organization. With Eaton's low volume, lack of strong memory constraints, and need for fast time to market, they moved away from this method. However, medical device manufacturers and other industries are required to use build time deployment to satisfy regulations or processor memory constraints.
Avoiding common implementation problems
A typical challenge in developing for variants is overcoming the prevailing organizational and cultural mindset. In many projects, there is a clear need to convert to variant management, but there is "never enough time" given the current workload. Product managers agree that it is a good idea in theory, but they want the team to do the variant management work after their current project is finished. Product managers often feel that delays will be associated with converting to a variant development cycle, and they resist losing control over their individual projects.
When organizations finally decide to adopt a variant management strategy, there is a period of discomfort and program delays. The transition starts with uncertainty and resistance in the organization about whether conversion is the right decision. After the transition to a strong variant management process, they can enjoy faster time to market, higher-quality products, and more efficient engineers. Product line managers are happier because they have more predictable programs and resources. Customers are happier because they see higher quality and faster response times.
Craig Jacobs looks back in hindsight at his transmission project and wonders how they could have established a variant design methodology earlier in the development process. It might have taken them longer to get the first systems into the market, and they could have missed a window of opportunity. One compromise could have been to initially follow some design for variants best practices that require only minor work. That approach might have made it easier to build multiple variants later.
To identify a variant management business strategy, ask yourself these questions:
- Are there "easy" things that you can do in your initial design to support variants later if the product evolves?
- How can you create a flexible design up front without adding much cost?
- Can you make the design "too flexible" up front and add too much cost? This error could prevent you from realizing the benefit of product portfolios.
Best practices for product design for variants
These are key best practices for product design for variants:
- Design from the beginning with good, clean interfaces.
- Use good componentization.
- Create data variables rather than hardcoded constants.
When you follow these practices initially, it is much easier to adapt when the need for variants emerges. By following these practices, you can tag an element later and map the element to specific design features. Then, when you decide which development process to use, you will find it is easy to implement. Without a good design, this is a much tougher task.
You can use other IBM tools besides Rational Rhapsody and ClearCase to manage variants. Each tool supports different aspects of reuse and thus requires a different management approach. For example, Rational® DOORS® requirements management software supports versions to some degree through baselines and baseline sets, but it does not support variants of requirements or reuse of requirements. Therefore, to manage variants in DOORS, you need to use a clone-and-own approach. When you use IBM® Rational® Engineering Lifecycle Manager with DOORS, it can link the variants to each other and to the associated products.
Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager also helps you manage variants. You can define your product lines and the variants in the product definitions, and link those product definitions to your requirements, designs, model elements, test cases, and other engineering artifacts.
No matter how you design for variants, they require more work than independent products, but designing for variants is often the most efficient practice in the long run. Determining when, why, and how to design for variants helps you manage your product portfolio so that you more tightly align your products with what your customers want over time.

Although fashions come and go in software development, some things
stay remarkably constant. One of these is the use of databases. You
may be wonderfully up-to-date with an AJAX Web interface or the latest
whizbang Windows user interface, but under the covers, you're probably
still pumping data in and out of a database, just as we all did a
decade or more ago. That makes it all the more surprising that
developers are still making the same database mistakes that date back
to those good old days of Windows 95 and before. Perhaps it's just
that most of us learn to use databases on the side, rather than really
studying them. In any case, here are my nominations for the biggest
mistakes that I see over and over again. Not all databases are created equal — which means before you do
anything with a database, you have to pick the appropriate database. Time
and again I've seen Access databases groaning to bear the load of huge
data sets that would have been child's play for SQL Server, or harried
users trying to pay for and set up SQL Server to hold a few hundred rows
of data. Broadly speaking, there are three tiers of databases in the
market these days: desktop and embedded databases suitable for smaller
tasks, "Express" versions of the major players that are good up to a few
gigabytes of data, and the truly enterprise databases like SQL Server,
Oracle, and DB2 that can handle just about anything you can throw at them.
Before you do anything else, you need to make some realistic estimates
about the amount of data that you'll be storing and pick the appropriate
product to do the storage. APIs such as ODBC, JDBC, and OLE DB have promoted the notion of
database independence - the idea that you can write your application
code in such a manner that you can plug any database at all in for
data storage. Well, yes, but there are compromises. I've seen a lot of
teams go down the rat hole of database independence, writing layers to
translate all of their SQL statements to some lowest common
denominator dialect that every conceivable database will support, and
at the same time giving up on advanced features available in any
particular database. The notion seems to be that some client in the
future might want to switch to Oracle or DB2 or FoxPro or whatever, so
it's best to be prepared now. On the contrary: when you're starting
out with a new product, pick your storage engine and write to it. If
your product is good, people will install the database you specify,
and you won't be wasting untold man-hours supporting "just in case"
scenarios that you'll probably never need. If I had a dollar for every time it turned out that some customer
numbers had seven digits instead of six, or that the registrar's office
really did allow students to register without a social security number due
to privacy concerns and so the column has to be made nullable - well, I'd
have a lot of dollars. Database design can't be done in a vacuum, away
from the business rules. It's critical that you get the input of the
actual users of the data, and hammer on them to find out for sure how big
each column needs to be, what rules apply to it, what types of data it
will hold, who can update it, and so on. Otherwise, you're setting
yourself up for costly rework down the line. You'll learn to dread
sentences starting with "Well, it looks fine, except..."
There's a tendency, especially among managers of smaller shops, to
assume that any developer knows how to set up a database. Frankly,
this perplexes me. You wouldn't assume that any given developer knows
how to code in C# or set up a Web Service, so why is it that we're all
supposed to be database pros? The end result is that too many
databases are designed by people who have never even heard the term
normalization, never mind developed any understanding of the various
normal forms. I can't tell you how many times I've found everything
shoved into one big table with hideous update anomalies and
performance issues as a result. If you're in this situation yourself,
and you're over your head, demand training - or start job-hunting.
Efficient database design is something you need to learn, not discover
by trial and error. On the other hand, a little knowledge really can be a dangerous thing.
I've seen databases that were normalized to death by well-meaning
developers who insisted on putting everything in lookup tables. I
recall one memorable instance in which "yes" and "no" were relegated to
Stored procedures and triggers are a wonderful thing. When you've
got multiple clients accessing a database, they can be a great way to
make sure consistent data processing takes place. But they can also
turn into an ugly black box in which application logic hides, unknown
to Web and thick client developers, generally unseen and unreviewed.
Too often database code isn't subject to the same standards of design,
test, and code review that we demand for the rest of our applications.
When you're tempted to put code in the database, take a moment to ask
yourself whether it really belongs there. Who needs backups? You do. Presumably you're storing data in a
database because it's important enough to hang on to. Somehow, though,
I end up walking into situations where "nobody got around to it" on a
regular basis, and valuable data is lost forever because hardware,
hackers, or just plain mistakes munged the database and there wasn't
any backup. Your backup plan (including things like frequency, type of
backup, and how often you're going to take backups off-site) needs to
be in place at the start of the development cycle, not at the end. Speaking of backups, you need to worry about schema changes to your
database as well as data changes, and you need to keep track of those
schema changes in such a way that you can recreate the database at any
point in time. That's right, if you want to do a really professional
job of building software you need to extend version control to your
database design. It doesn't do much good to be able to recover version
0.784.5 of the software to test out a customer bug if you can't also
produce the corresponding database. If your database developers are
cheerfully writing stored procedures and tweaking table designs
without leaving any trace of their work, you've got a problem. Modern databases offer a lot more than just a series of buckets
that you can toss your data into. They also come with a substantial
variety of tools to make it easier to manage that data. For example,
SQL Server makes it easy to inspect the plan of attack that the server
is using for your queries, and even includes wizards to tell you what
indexes would make your queries more efficient for the actual load
you've been throwing at your server. I've had great success running
these tools on client databases and speeding things up, or lowering
CPU usage by a factor of two - but the fact is, they shouldn't have
had to call in a consultant to tell them to use the stuff in the box.
If you don't know what tools and utilities come with your database,
and what they can do for you, then you're paying for value that you're
not receiving. Databases have a tendency to take over all data storage for an
application. I've seen applications that tried to build an entire
metadata-driven user interface, and then stored that metadata along
with user preferences in the same database that was holding the
business data. This is a good way to complicate your life and kill
performance; some data really does belong in local files, not in a
client-server database across the network. When you're storing data,
you need to evaluate the different places you can put it (database,
registry, plain text files, XML files...) and pick the appropriate
spot for each piece of data. Don't just automatically shove it into a
database just because you have a connection string handy. These days,
there's probably more of a tendency to overuse XML files than
relational databases, but the principle still holds. Mike Gunderloy is the author of over 20 books and numerous articles on
development topics, and the Senior Technology Partner for Adaptive Strategy, a
Washington State consulting firm. When
he's not writing code, Mike putters in the garden on his farm in eastern

FWIW, I still need GCC 3.3.x to compile a patched version of libvorbis: http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/ http://homepage3.nifty.com/blacksword/ http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29161&st=0 It makes encoding Ogg Vorbis files much, much faster. And as far as I can tell, it is Free Software. More generally, every new minor version of GCC brakes some packages. The BLFS book does provide patches, which is good, but it doesn't provide them for every other package that is not in the book. Taking instructions for GCC 3.3.x out of the book would do more harm than good, IMO. P.S.: I cannot post the the newsgroups, I don't know why.

Zubar's form delights McCarthy
19 Oct 2009 - 16:23:46
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy believes Ronald Zubar has finally adapted to life in England after producing a fine display in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Everton.
The 24-year-old right-back, who was making his first Premier League appearance of the campaign following his summer switch from Marseille, was solid and reliable throughout at Goodison Park.
A delighted McCarthy said: "Ronald was excellent and played very well. He played loads of games at right-back for Marseille.
"He was disappointed by their goal because he got done down the side of him, but I thought he had a really good debut and now looks like someone who can play in the Premier League.
"When he came here, he looked way off, but now he's got his wife and baby over here, he's settled in a house and he's training really well.
"That bodes well for me because he was a really big signing."
Zubar made 82 appearances for Marseille in his three seasons with the club after starring for Caen earlier in his career.
