Selecting PLM Software Solutions Part 5 - User Recommendations
This tutorial points out the significance of buyers researching PLM technology vendors before determining the short list and vendors researching the viability of the opportunity before committing time and money to a sales effort. Since a 'one-size-fits-all' product is still not quite a viable possibility, almost every product can win provided certain set of requirements. The Catch 22 for both buyers and vendors/VARs is to pinpoint the right opportunity in this ongoing 'dating game'.

Selecting PLM Software Solutions Part 2 - Problem Overview
Past experience shows us that the vast majority of enterprise technology evaluations run over time and budget, and once selected, the majority of the implementations fail to meet functional, return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) expectations. Many companies have consequently been stuck with under-performing software products and dejected users, and are still unable to gauge their system to determine how far they are from the ideal solution for their business requirements.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Customer relationship management (CRM) focuses on the retention of customers by collecting all data from every interaction, every customer makes with a company from all access points whether they are phone, mail, Web, or field. The company can then use this data for specific business purposes, marketing, service, support or sales while concentrating on a customer centric approach rather than a product centric. Customer relationship management defines methodologies, strategies, software, and other web-based capabilities that help an enterprise organize and manage customer relationships. Customer relationship management applications are front-end tools designed to facilitate the capture, consolidation, analysis, and enterprise-wide dissemination of data from existing and potential customers. This process occurs throughout the marketing, sales, and service stages, with the objective of better understanding one's customers and anticipating their interest in an enterprise's products or services.

Opera singer Jessye Norman
/ News
SINGERS and scientists feature in an impressive line-up of speakers announced for the 2014 Blenheim Literary Festival.
The American Grammy award-winning contemporary opera singer Jessye Norman will be talking about her life at the Woodstock festival, which runs from September 25 to 28.
The 68-year-old is expected to talk about her life growing up in Georgia, singing at presidential inaugurations and setting up a tuition-free performing arts after-school program for economically disadvantaged students.
Celebrated director, actor, author, television presenter and humorist, Jonathan Miller, above, will be the speaker at the festival's dinner.
The world of rock will be represented by Steve Hogarth, of the British band Marillion, who will be performing and talking about his diaries.
The festival brings hundreds of visitors to Woodstock every September, with few book festivals able to rival the setting of the palace.
Our sister paper, The Oxford Times, is again acting as media partner.
The Oxford scientist, Richard Dawkins, often dubbed the world's best known atheist, will be talking about his early life, featured in his memoir An Appetite For Wonder: The Making of a Scientist.
Promoted stories
The celebrated evolutionary biologist will also choose some of his favourite music, to be played by the Orchestra of St John.
The television scientist Alice Roberts, presenter of the BBC science series The Incredible Human Journey and Origins of Us, will be speaking about her book The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being.
The great political issue of the day will also figure prominently this year.
The former Tory Cabinet Minister Liam Fox will discuss Putin and Russia, while the former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey will speak on moral dilemmas, including the issue that recently put him in the headlines, assisted death.
Festival director Sally Dunsmore, above, said: "Our aim is to offer festival-goers just that little bit more than the average festival. So, we have the poet Jeremy Robson talking about his poems with readings by Maureen Lipman and song by Jacqui Dankworth.
"We have some innovative performances of Shakespeare, and people will even be able to buy jewellery from the Alex Monroe collection.'' Tickets can be purchased online at blenheimpalaceliteraryfestival.com or from the box office at The Feathers hotel, Woodstock.

Willmar Bechtold, 87
Willmar Edward Bechtold was born on Nov. 14, 1927, the last of three sons and one daughter born to Wilhelmina and William Bechtold.
His sins were washed away in Holy Baptism on Dec. 11, 1927 here at Salem Ev. Lutheran Church. He grew up on the family dairy farm just south of Hanover and attended school in Hanover. He received his confirmation instruction from Pastor W. P. Haar, formally professed faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and was confirmed here at Salem on March 17, 1940. He was given Matthew 6:33 as his memory verse: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
Willmar graduated from Buffalo High School in 1945. He was drafted into the Army Air Force following graduation and served his country in the occupation of Japan after World War II.
On June 10, 1950, here at Salem, he was united in holy matrimony to his high school sweetheart, Caroline Harff, whom he loved serenading with his guitar.
The newlyweds moved to Minneapolis, and on Aug. 13, 1953, their son, Timothy, was born. Tim married Anne Taylor in 1979, and Willmar and Caroline were blessed with a granddaughter, Halley, in 1986.
Willmar and Caroline spent most of their married life together living in Robbinsdale, and in 1973 moving into a new house in New Hope, yet always remaining lifelong, active members in God's house here at Salem.
Willmar began his career with Bill Boyer Ford, which later became Boyer Trucks. He retired from full-time work in 1995 at the age of 67 but continued working several days a week until he was 83, which capped off over 63 years of service with the company.
Throughout his life, he volunteered immeasurable hours of service to: Salem Ev. Lutheran Church, West Lutheran High School, Wise Penny Thrift Store, American Cancer Society's Annual Garage Sale, Hennepin County Fair, and Country Pizza Parlour. Caroline and Willmar were recognized for years of committed community service in 1999 by being named Hennepin County Outstanding Senior Citizens.
A longtime Vikings season ticket holder and avid country music fan, he also loved gardening, fishing, dancing the polka, and assisting his wife, Caroline, with canning and preserving home-grown fruits and vegetables, as well as being her right-hand and full-time dishwasher during the busy holiday baking season.
Shortly after Caroline went to be with our Lord on Jan. 21, 2011, Willmar moved into Lee Square Cooperative in Robbinsdale, where he resided for the past four years.
After a long struggle with Lewy Body Dementia, with his family at his bedside, our gracious God took Willmar's soul to heaven on July 25, 2015 at 10:40 in the morning at North Memorial Residential Hospice in Brooklyn Center. Jesus blessed Willmar's life on this earth for nearly 88 years and now has welcomed him to His eternal home, where together with Caroline and all believers he will worship and praise God forever in eternal bliss.
Willmar was preceded in death by: his loving wife of 60 years, Caroline; parents, Wilhelmina and William Bechtold; sister, Margaret (Harold) Schutte; and brothers, Bernard (Bernice) and Vernon (Marguerite) Bechtold.
He is survived by: his son, Timothy (Anne) Bechtold; granddaughter, Halley (Reed) Endersbe; sister-in-law, Renata (Jack) Russek; brothers-in-law, Howard Schleif, Ronald Tiemann and Duane Beise; many nieces and nephews; and numerous friends and relatives, all of whom he loved dearly.
Willmar's life touched ten decades, and he used his time of Grace on this earth to glorify and praise his Creator and to serve his family, friends, coworkers and the church he loved so much. His mortal remains will now be laid to rest in the cemetery of Salem Ev. Lutheran Church until the day of resurrection.
John 11:25-26 Jesus said ... "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
Funeral Services for Willmar Bechtold were held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 28, and a reception followed. All services were held at his lifelong church where Willmar was baptized, confirmed, married, and now laid to rest, Salem Ev. Lutheran Church in Greenfield, Minn. A visitation was held from 4-8 p.m. (7:30 Prayer Service) Monday, July 27 at the church.
Casket bearers were: Don Bechtold, Rodney Bechtold, Doug Beise, Joshua Granlund, Paul Schutte, and Scott Taylor.

Target will feature electronics picked by the editors of Wired magazine, under a deal between the two.
Target will renovate libraries at more than two dozen schools in need across the country this year under a program that will also include book donations and technology upgrades, as well as the option to have a Target-supported food pantry built, the mass merchandise retailer said.
RadioShack has ended its mobile phone partnership with Target amid slumping sales, the electronics store chain said.
Giant Food of Landover, Md., is one of several retailers promoting environmental awareness as part of Earth Day, the Ahold USA-owned retailer said.
More than half of allergy sufferers seek advice from pharmacists and doctors, a new survey by Target has found.
According to research, ownership of smartphones and tablets in particular have grown rapidly over the past couple of years, and that has created a multi-headed omnichannel hydra of a customer who retailers across all channels are desperately trying to appease.
The Hispanic opportunity represents a "new American reality," noted Roberto Ruiz, SVP strategy and insights for Univision Communications, last month at the Consumer Healthcare Products Association's Annual Executive Conference.
Target has lowered its earnings expectations for first quarter 2013, the mass merchandise retailer said Tuesday.
Target has accepted for purchase $760.7 million worth of debt as part of a $1.1 billion debt-refinancing plan announced last month, the mass merchandiser said.
In an exclusive sit down with Adweek, Amy Spiridakis, director of marketing for Diet Pepsi, spoke about recent rebranding efforts from the beverage maker, a new limited-edition can design for Diet Pepsi and an exclusive partnership with Target coming up in May.

Assad forces 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
The imminent demise of the regime of Bashar Assad has been announced on numerous
occasions over the last two years of civil war in Syria. But the regime has held
on. Despite some advances by rebels in the south of the country in the early
months of 2013, Assad shows no signs of cracking.Indeed, in the last few
weeks, the momentum of the fighting has shifted somewhat. Regime forces have
clawed back areas of recent rebel advance. The government side, evidently under
Iranian tutelage, has showed an impressive and unexpected ability to adapt
itself to the changing demands of the war.As long ago as the summer of
2012, the government side demonstrated that it was able to adjust creatively, if
ruthlessly, to events. When it became apparent that determined attempts by the
regime army to crush the revolt in the northern Syrian countryside were proving
fruitless, Assad's forces carried out a strategic withdrawal. In effect, the
regime ceded large swathes of northern and eastern Syria to the Arab rebels and
to Kurdish separatists.Assad held on to the cities of the north; the
western coastal area; the area around the capital, Damascus; and the highways
between all these.The dictator and his Iranian patrons then settled down
to a process of attrition – with the twin goals of preserving their own area of
rule, and rendering ungovernable the area under rebel control. This latter goal
was attempted through the use of air power, artillery and latterly ballistic
missiles against civilian targets. It has been successful insofar as the rebels
have proven to be notably unable to prevent their area of control from turning
into a chaotic zone, consisting of the rival fiefdoms of various local
commanders and alliances.These were the contours of the bloody stalemate
into which Syria settled for the latter half of 2012. In the first months of the
year, the rebels made a concerted effort to break this stalemate. Aided by
deliveries of new and improved weapons systems paid for by the Saudis and
brought in via Jordan, rebels in the south made significant gains. The town of
Dael on the road to Damascus from the southern border fell at the end of March.
Much of rural Dera'a province, the cradle of the revolt, fell to rebel forces.
Further north, the town of Raqqa fell to Islamist rebels in early March – the
first provincial capital to fall.At this point, it looked like the
battle for Damascus was about to begin.But over the course of April, the
regime has hit back.Damascus remains a fearsome prospect for any rebel
force wishing to enter it. The regime has assembled a huge array of artillery
and missile systems on Mount Qassioun, a strategically vital area of high ground
over the city.The regime has also entrenched its most loyal and able
fighters, including the Republican Guards, the 4th Armored Division, elements of
the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Alawite paramilitaries trained by Iran in the
city. Regime forces last week recaptured Otaiba, a town east of Damascus, which
formed a crucial link for rebels seeking to bring weaponry and ammunition from
the Jordanian border to the eastern suburbs of the capital.Hezbollah
fighters operating on behalf of the regime in the eastern part of the country
and backed by regime air power have driven the rebels back in the Qusayr area in
central Homs province. In so doing, they have ensured that the vital Damascus-
Homs highway remains open (though with heavy losses, according to
reports).As of now, the rebel Farouq Brigade has prevented Hezbollah's
entry into Qusayr City, and the fighting remains intense. But the regime's
rallying has taken place not only on the battlefields.Assad has from the
outset possessed a clear narrative of the conflict, according to which his
regime is facing attack from an alliance of jihadi "terrorists."The
irony of this version of events is rich, given that the dictatorship in the
not-at-all-distant past made ample use of Sunni jihadi clients, employing them
to destabilize neighboring Iraq – where the regime allowed a steady stream of
foreign jihadis to use Damascus airport as an entry point to the region, on
their way to take part in the Sunni insurgency against the US – and Lebanon,
where the regime sponsored the Fatah al-Islam group as a tool to destabilize the
country in 2007. Nevertheless, no one has ever suspected Assad of having an
excessive sense of shame.Meanwhile, the bombings at the Boston Marathon
have refocused Western attention on the threat of Sunni jihadi terrorism. The
West's preference to refrain from directly supporting the rebellion left a
vacuum, which has been largely filled by Islamist fighters and transnational
jihadi groups.So the regime's predictions now constitute a kind of
self-fulfilling prophecy. It is an account of events that has some resonance
beyond circles naturally sympathetic to Assad. The result is that morale among
supporters of the regime has improved markedly in recent weeks.The Assad
regime has benefited on every level from the support of a determined
international coalition, which has stood behind the dictator since the outset of
the rebellion.Russia, Iran, its proxy Hezbollah and the Maliki
government in Iraq are all playing a central role. The latest indications are
that the US and the West still prefer to stay directly out of it, despite the
obvious crossing of notional "red lines" regarding the use of chemical
weapons.It is thus likely that the Assad regime will be around for some
time to come.This regime may be a study in vileness from a moral point
of view, but Assad and his allies over the last two years have shown what can be
achieved when a clear strategic goal is wedded to a willingness to use the most
ruthless and murderous of means. Only a comparable level of cohesion and
commitment from the rebellion and its backers is likely to prove sufficient to
finally terminate Assad's rule.This shows no signs of
emerging.Assad, then, isn't winning – despite the new bullishness of his
supporters. But right now, he isn't losing either.

Grand Prairie Has the AirHogs. But Dallas Has the "Water Hogs."
Don't know what's more interesting: This morning's Wall Street Journal story that ties together Dallas's efforts to take a long drink from the Neches River and Oklahoma's water supply, or the comments attached to the story. Let's start with the story, in which outgoing assistant city manager Ramón Míguez acknowledges the city's rep as "a water hog"; again, Tom Hicks, seriously. But he says we need the water ... or else: "The only way that this region can sustain its economic growth has to be working a mutually agreeable agreement with a region that is richer than we are and simply does not need the water as we do." Folks in Oklahoma and along the Neches disagree. Then jump on over to the comments, where one "Newton Wilson" writes, "Dallas is about as cool as Aids. Dallas-ites are gluttons, devouring all the water, coke, and Prada in sight." That's not an official slogan, is it?

19th Light Brigade (United Kingdom)
|19th Light Brigade
Insignia of 19 Light Brigade
|United Kingdom
|British Army
|Light Infantry
|Part of
|3rd Mechanised Division
|Horace Smith-Dorrien
19th Light Brigade was a formation of the regular British Army. It fought in the First and Second world wars. The brigade became 19 Light Brigade in 2005, and moved to Northern Ireland following the end of Operation Banner and "normalisation" of British military operations in the province. Following the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), the Brigade entered suspended animation in March 2013.
First World War[edit]
The 19th Infantry Brigade was formed in France as an independent brigade[1] and saw action on the Western Front including the Battle of Mons in August 1914.[2]
Second World War[edit]
The Brigade was a regular British Army formation at the beginning of the Second World War. It had been raised in 1938 for Internal Security in Palestine, and appears to have joined the 7th Infantry Division on its reformation in September-October 1938. On 3 September 1939 it was converted to HQ Jerusalem Area to avoid confusion with an Indian Army brigade with the same number.
In the 1980s, the Brigade was part of Eastern District and headquartered at Colchester as part of 3rd Armoured Division. The third part of the division, it would have had to cross the Channel to join the rest of the division, stationed with the British Army of the Rhine in Germany. Following the disbandment of the 3rd Armoured Division following the end of the Cold War, the brigade joined the new 3rd Mechanised Division, and moved to Catterick Garrison in Yorkshire in April 1993.[3]
As part of the Delivering Security in a Changing World review in 2003 it was announced that the brigade was to become a 'Light' formation. The brigade became 19 Light Brigade as of 1 January 2005, and moved to Northern Ireland following the end of Operation Banner and "normalisation" of British military operations in the province.[4]
The Brigade deployed on Operation Herrick 10 in April 2009 to replace 3 Commando Brigade where it planned and executed Operation Panther's Claw - named after Bagheera, the panther forming the Brigade insignia. The Bde returned to the UK in October 2009 having taken significantly more casualties than seen in previous operational tours of Afghanistan.[5]
Secretary of Defence Liam Fox announced on 18 July 2011 that it was to be disbanded as part of the 2010 SDSR[6] in March 2013.[7]
Final Order of Battle[edit]
- 19 Light Brigade Units September 2012
- 19 Light Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron (209 Signal Squadron)
- 2nd Battalion, The Rifles (Light Role Infantry)
- 2nd Battalion, Mercian Regiment (Light Role Infantry)

- 40 Regiment Royal Artillery (L118 Light Gun) - Home Lines, Thiepval Barracks, Lisburn, County Antrim.

The Division gets 10 minutes of gameplay footage released from E3 2015
E3 2015 - Ubisoft has detailed The Division in a great 10-minute video on the game, where they venture into the Dark Zone, in a real-time gameplay video.
The gameplay video was taken from an Xbox One console, with what feels like 1080p 30FPS, without many performance problems at all. This is actually good considering what is taking place on screen, and the amount of detail in the environment. Check out the 10-minute gameplay video above and let us know what you think in the comments below.

John Hamilton, Democracy Now! correspondent and reporter for KPFA.
At the end of our broadcast we went live to the Occupy Oakland encampment, where hundreds of Oakland police officers have surrounded the encampment in order to evict hundreds of protesters. Democracy Now! correspondent John Hamilton says, unlike the first police raid which used tear gas and rubber bullet projectiles, this time police have massed in large numbers: as many as 1,000 officers are on the scene. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: We end today's broadcast in Oakland. As we broadcast, reports are coming in, the Oakland Police Department has surrounded Occupy Oakland. We turn now to KPFA reporter John Hamilton.
John, in 30 seconds, can you tell us what's happening?
JOHN HAMILTON: Well, Amy, very briefly, I'm standing at the intersection of 14th and Broadway across from the Occupy Oakland encampment, which is currently being raided for the second time in its existence. Unlike last time, when police came in with tear gas and rubber bullets, this time they came in in overwhelming numbers. They have not employed those methods, but they have come in as a small army. We know that between 700 and a thousand police are here. They are beginning to make the first arrests in the Occupy Oakland encampment, just before 6:00 local time.
AMY GOODMAN: John Hamilton, we want to thank you for being with us. We'll keep people updated throughout the day at our website, democracynow.org.

Casa Brutale - OPA
For the super-rich Bond villains of the world, OPA (Open Platform for Architecture) have produced this concept for a cliffside home straight out of James Bond. Overlooking the Aegean Sea, this residence of concrete and glass makes little impact on the landscape besides a rooftop pool (which casts incredible ripples through its glass bottom into the interior spaces) and a set of steps. Follow the steps downward and you're faced with a full-height, full-width wall of glass providing amazing views out to sea.
As would be expected from a brutalist concrete home, the interior features of Casa Brutale are minimal and spacious, all set below the most fantastic light show from the swimming pool above.
