Enterprise resource planning, commonly called 'ERP', refers to the computer system that an organization uses to manage their business processes.
On the one hand ERP is just a computer system, albeit nowadays a very comprehensive and sophisticated one. On the other hand, ERP has demonstrated that it can drive huge improvements in the effectiveness of any organization.
The importance of a well-planned implementation where the business requirements and processes are clearly defined at the start of the project cannot be over-emphasized. A well-implemented system provides a solid foundation for growth, with easy adaptability to business process trends, economic swings, technological, Lean and Green developments.
The strategic framework used when thinking about buying, implementing and operating ERP, should be determined by your organization's business objectives. By following an appropriate ERP strategy, you can significantly increase your chances of achieving success and gaining the expected business benefits.
Have you considered?
- What strategic business objective will be served with ERP?
- What, how much and when will ERP contribute to this particular objective?
- How do the answers to these two questions influence what ERP system to buy, how to go about ERP implementation and how to operate the ERP system once it is live?

Couple planned wedding around the Ravens
Good thing they're not big fans of, say, the Cleveland Browns.
Baltimore natives Laura "Daisy" Sudano, 44, and Jim Pellegrini, 42 — who'd vowed not to get married until the Ravens made it to the Super Bowl again — are finally fulfilling their promise on Saturday.
The two met at a party on Super Bowl Sunday 13 years ago, the only other time the Ravens played in the big game — hence their nuptial vow. And not only will their wedding take place in New Orleans, but they have tickets to the Ravens-49ers game there the following day.
"How many men can say their honeymoon is a Super Bowl?" Sudano told ABC News.

All in One: An Interview with Tomi Ungerer
January 30, 2015 | by Sarah Cowan
At the opening for the Drawing Center's "All in One," Tomi Ungerer's first U.S. retrospective, swarms of visitors obscured the art on the walls. The crowd bent toward the artist, who was holding court and a glass of red wine, though none was being served. Ungerer, who is eighty-three, was in his element. For him, this retrospective is a kind of homecoming. After more than forty years in exile, his career is finding its rightful place in the New York art world.
The Drawing Center exhibition, curated by Claire Gilman, begins with Ungerer's earliest doodles as a child growing up in Nazi-occupied Alsace, where under the nationalistic duress of war he first learned to be an outlaw. Delicately subversive, they are inscribed with a mature, swaggering humor that takes a subject as terrifying as Hitler and renders him a fool.
In 1956, Ungerer was lured to New York City at the height of print, when publications offered vast opportunities for creative illustrators. Without contacts or even a high school diploma, Ungerer impressed art directors with his idiosyncratic drawing style and witty candor. He became sought after for advertising and editorial work, and most prominently, his unconventional children's books, which featured society's most repulsive characters—robbers, snakes, pigs, beggars—as compassionate protagonists.
While working professionally in these PG-rated circles, he remained a deeply political artist, self-publishing bold posters against the Vietnam War, a book of harsh satire called The Underground Sketchbook, and sadomasochistic erotic drawings. But upon discovering his erotic work, the children's-book community was scandalized. His books were removed from public libraries and his reputation tarnished. Dejected and unable to find work, he left New York in 1971, moving to Nova Scotia with his wife before finding a permanent home in Cork, Ireland.
This defection cost Ungerer the renown he deserves. It wasn't until 1998 that he received the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest achievement for children's-book authors, and a sign of the recent reappraisal of his career. Recent years have seen reissues of his children's books in English and a large catalogue of his erotic drawings. In Strasbourg, he has a museum dedicated to his work, and in 2012, his life was the subject of a documentary film. Read More »
Updike: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Fan
January 14, 2015 | by Jeet Heer
"I can't remember the moment when I fell in love with cartoons, I was so young," John Updike once recalled in Hogan's Alley magazine. "I still have a Donald Duck book, on oilclothy paper in big-print format, and remember a smaller, cardboard-covered book based on the animated cartoon Three Little Pigs. It was the intense stylization of those images, with their finely brushed outlines and their rounded and buttony furniture and their faces so curiously amalgamated of human and animal elements, that drew me in, into a world where I, child though I was, loomed as a king, and where my parents and other grownups were strangers."
This is one of many passages where Updike talks about his childhood love of comics, a theme that recurs not just in essays but also in poems and short stories. What deserves attention in this passage is not only what Updike is saying but the textured and sensual language he's using when he recalls the "oilclothy paper" and the "buttony furniture." His tingling prose, where every idea and emotion is rooted in sensory experience, owes much to such modern masters as Joyce, Proust, and Nabokov, but it was also sparked by the cartoon images he saw in childhood, which trained his eyes to see visual forms as aesthetically pleasing. Indeed, the comparison with Nabokov is instructive since the Russian-born author of Lolita was also a cartoon fan. The critic Clarence Brown has coined the term bedesque (roughly translated as "comic strip-influenced") to describe the cartoony quality of Nabokov's fiction, including its antic loopiness, its quicksilver movement from scene to scene, and its visual intensity. I think one reason Updike felt an affinity for Nabokov is because they both wrote bedesque prose. Read More »
In Memoriam: John Hollander
September 3, 2013 | by Jeff Dolven and Lorin Stein
During his five-decade career as a poet, the late John Hollander was a frequent contributor to The Paris Review. He was also renowned as a scholar and critic. Here he is remembered by two former students, our contributor Jeff Dolven and editor Lorin Stein.
John Hollander once told me a story that served him as a kind of ur-scene of explanation. As a boy he was sitting with his father at the breakfast table, and he asked, apropos of nothing he could later recall, "Dad, what is a molecule?" By way of an answer, his father reached into the sugar bowl and lifted out a cube.
"So what is this?" his father asked.
"Sugar," said John. Next his father set the cube down on the table and rapped it sharply with a teaspoon, so that it broke into coarse crystals.
"And what is it now?"
"Sugar," said John again.
"Well then," said his father, "a molecule is the smallest piece of sugar you can get that's still sugar." The grown-up John delivered the last sentence like a punchline, laughing and widening his eyes and spreading his hands. Read More »

Every time I get to know something new, it becomes a part of me. It also becomes part of my work, although I am not always aware of it. Whenever I see something that appeals to me, something that I like a lot, it instantly becomes familiar, as if it has always had a place deep inside me, and just needed a bit of light to shine on it and make it visible. The topic of my work is often somewhere between isolation and loneliness and vitality. This is how I would describe my pictures retrospectively, because while I am working on them, I do not know what will happen.
Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts
December 23, 2010 | by Nicole Rudick
In 1939, Neiman Marcus published their first Christmas book, a catalogue of extravagant, humorous, astonishing, and often jewel-encrusted gifts. Over the Top: 50 Years of Fantasy Gifts from the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, recently published by Assouline, celebrates the Chinese junks, minisubs, urban windmills, bags of diamonds, sailplanes, animal-shaped desks, Warhol portraits, and Jack Nicklaus custom backyard golf courses that only the top 1 percent could comfortably afford.
The first cover, in 1951, featured artwork by Saul Steinberg, with subsequent covers created by a host of notables, such as Robert Indiana, Ludwig Bemelmans, Al Hirschfeld, Victor Vassarely, Chuck Jones, and Ben Shahn. His & Hers gifts became a frequent staple of outrageous indulgence beginning in 1960 with His & Hers Beechcraft Airplanes ($176,000). Ensuing examples rivaled for the title of most ostentatious: His & Hers Camels (1967; $4,125), His & Hers Hot Air Balloons (1964; $6,850 each), His & Hers Authentic Mummy Cases (1971; $16,000), His & Hers Robots (2003; $400,000), and His & Hers Name Your Own Jewels (1985; $2,000,000).

Dealing with multi-threading in servlets

As I understand it, because of multi-threading, an instance of a
is not thread-safe, or rather the instance variables on the class are not thread-safe.
But when I use a bean in a servlet I have to instantiate it, so surely each thread of in the servlet gets its own instance of the bean and the instance variables are therefore thread-safe?
Any comments, like what have I missed?
I have seen things you people would not believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, c-beams sparkling in the dark near the Tennhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

As long as you dont use non-static instance variables at the instance level, you'll be safe. You should declare all of your variables inside the methods of the servlet, and each thread accessing your servlet will always get a freash copy of the variables within the method.

If you have a servlet that is accessing a common variable just use
.. code blah
.. code blah
This means that if a thread enters this block of code, no other thread can enter this block.
You could implement the singleThreadModel by using the following script..
<%@ page isThreadSafe="false" %>
THis indicates that your code is not thread safe and the resuting servlet should implement SingleThreadedModel. Implementing the SingleThreadModel is fine for low traffic sites but for the higher traffic sites, there will be a definite performance hit.
It is important to note that the following is the default ..
<%@ page isThreadSafe="true" %>
Which means that what ever thread that enters your code, it assumes that your code is synchronized or thread safe
I hope this helps.

So far so good. But what if I have a big loop in the servlet, and a variable inside the method of the servlet which gets a new instance of a bean during execution of the method, how about the instance variables in the Bean?
Say two HTTP requests come in simultaneously, then two threads get started in the instance of the servlet.
Each thread instantiates its own copy of the bean, correct?
So the instance variables in the bean should be thread-safe, because each instance of the bean is instantiated and then garbage collected inside the method of the servlet.
Of course I could abuse it by keeping an instance of the bean somewhere and handing it out whenever required, but I'm not planning on that.
Am I correct in my assumption?

As long as the reference variable that points to the Bean is a local reference - ie NOT an instance variable or static variable, no other Thread can see it.

Great. That now I can do what I was planning.
I'm going to have a database access bean which does queries, and I'm going to instantiate it in the method of the servlet. When the bean instantiates, it's going to get itself a connection from a connection pool and keep this in its instance variable.
A transaction will start in the bean on instantiation and I'll have a method on the bean to call to commit it. This way, I won't have to have the connection outside the database access bean.

Be sure you have a way to close that connection no matter what happens. DB connections use a lot of resources and leaving them open is a common point of failure in
using DBs.

Good point.
There's no such thing as a destructor in
, is there? I could have a check in the bean destructor to commit and close the connection if it's still open.
I guess I'll just make sure the exception handling is bullet proof.
Thanks for your help, everyone.

Do the following:
Connection conn = null try { conn = pool.getConnection(); // create statement, execute SQL, etc. } catch( SQLException sqle ) { System.out.println( sqle ); } catch( Exception e ) { System.out.println( e ); } finally { if( conn != null ) conn.close(); }
This should ensure that you always close the connection.

Guys, I've also got a question about thread-safety and static variables vs. ServletContext.
I'm building a framework, and I've decided to have an 'Application' object created at AppServer startup that holds various settings from a properties file, some one-time generated data, and a few common methods that are configured using that data, such as logging to an app-specific file.
I want my servlets AND my domain objects to be able to access this object. I created a generic servlet that ALL my application servlets will be required to subclass off of. In the init, I go create the Application object if it hasn't been, and store it in a static variable (Application is also a singleton, just in case). This way ALL my application servlets can access it. I also create a few std methods to wrap the Application object, such as logError(), logMsg(), logDebug(), etc. I also forward doPost() and doGet() to an abstract doProcessing(), but that's beside the point.
So now I have three questions: 1) should I switch from storing the Application object in a static to storing in the ServletContext()?
2) I was planning to try and store the Application object in the static variable of a framework (abstract) class called AppObject. Then each subclass would have a copy for it's use. Should I just pass the Application object in at construction every time? It's my understanding that if the app server restarts, then all the objects will be destroyed, so I don't have to worry about stuff getting out of synch.
3) Do I need to synchronize( ) my calls to the Application object? It won't ever create new objects after the first time, and the only writing/updating of data it does is when I log to a file, and I already have the log class synchronized. Does 'read' access to a class variable need to be synchronized? I may be thinking in SQL too much, where reads don't need 'transactions' (thread synchronization.

1. Right off hand I can't think of any reason to switch.
2. Why not just leave it as a static that every class can see? I doubt there is any measurable advantage to giving each object its own copy.
3. No need to synchronize if the data is not changing.
I agree. Here's the link:

I love meeting all the Disney characters, but there's nothing in the world like spending a few minutes with my main mouse, Mickey. Since he's pretty popular around Walt Disney World, I'm sharing my best tips for meeting the cute little guy!
Location: Town Square Theater on Main Street, U.S.A.®
Mickey Mouse can be found in the Town Square Theater located just inside the Magic Kingdom® Park entrance on Main Street, U.S.A.® The theater is beautifully decorated in a turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century theme with posters proclaiming Mickey Mouse as the star of the magic show. The queue makes you feel like you're in the backstage corridors of the theater! You may find Mickey is talking during your visit, although sometimes he has a case of laryngitis!
Best Time to Go: Early in the morning or during Main Street Electrical Parade.
Disney offers FastPass+ service for this character meet and greet opportunity, but often the waits are less than neighboring Tinker Bell. Town Square Theater usually opens for business when the park opens, so the line to meet Mickey will be fairly short at that time. If you've already seen the Main Street Electrical Parade or if meeting Mickey is your top priority, go during the parade. The last time we were there, the line was only 5 minutes long. It was awesome!
Location: Epcot® Character Spot in Future World West (across from Innoventions® Pavilion)
Epcot® Character Spot is a classic Disney character lover's dream. In addition to Mickey, you'll get to meet Minnie Mouse and Goofy. Epcot® Character Spot is in an air-conditioned building with a bright animation-theme…a perfect backdrop for pictures. Be sure to have your autograph books open to a section with several blank pages; once you're at the front of the line you'll meet the characters one right after the other.
Best Time to Go: Early in the morning or late in the evening.
Epcot® Character Spot opens usually when the park does, so like most things theme park-related this is the best time to go. The wait time during the day varies, but even if the line looks long the Cast Members keep it moving pretty smoothly and remember, you're waiting in ONE line to meet FIVE characters (with Mickey being the most important, of course).
Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
Head to Adventurer's Outpost in Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park and you're in for a real treat. This may just be my favorite place to meet Mickey because he's not dressed in his typical garb; he's ready for a safari! Minnie greets alongside him, making it even more special.
Best Time to Go: At park opening
The best time to meet Mickey and Minnie is when the park opens. Otherwise, try to secure a Fastpass for this one.
Location: The Magic of Disney Animation building in Animation Courtyard
If you want to meet Sorcerer Mickey, this is the place. (I guess he hangs out here before the big Fantasmic! Show show.) He has his own area in the back of the building and stands in front of a really cool Disney's Hollywood Studios® backdrop.
Best Time to Go: As soon as Mickey Mouse starts greeting guests or later in the evening.
Mickey Mouse usually greets guests from 10 a.m. until park closing. The other characters in the building begin a little later. The Magic of Disney Animation attraction is housed in the same building and lasts about 20 minutes so if not everyone in the group is as excited to meet Mickey as you are, they'll have something to do.

Chief post: Electric current, The movement is called an electric current, the power of which is usually measured in amperes. Current can consist of any proceeding a current, although commonly these are electrons is made up by any charge in motion.
Historic convention, a positive current defined as getting the exact same direction of flow as to any positive charge, or the negative part to stream in the positive part it contains. Current defined in this manner is called conventional current. The positive-to-negative convention is widely used to simplify this instance.

Designing Ranking Systems for Hotels on Travel Search Engines by Mining User-Generated and Crowdsourced Content
User-generated content on social media platforms and product search engines is changing the way consumers shop for goods online. However, current product search engines fail to effectively leverage information created across diverse social media platforms. Moreover, current ranking algorithms in these product search engines tend to induce consumers to focus on one single product characteristic dimension (e.g., price, star rating). This approach largely ignores consumers' multidimensional preferences for products. In this paper, we propose to generate a ranking system that recommends products that provide, on average, the best value for the consumer's money. The key idea is that products that provide a higher surplus should be ranked higher on the screen in response to consumer queries. We use a unique data set of U.S. hotel reservations made over a three-month period through Travelocity, which we supplement with data from various social media sources using techniques from text mining, image classification, social geotagging, human annotations, and geomapping. We propose a random coefficient hybrid structural model, taking into consideration the two sources of consumer heterogeneity the different travel occasions and different hotel characteristics introduce. Based on the estimates from the model, we infer the economic impact of various location and service characteristics of hotels. We then propose a new hotel ranking system based on the average utility gain a consumer receives from staying in a particular hotel. By doing so, we can provide customers with the "best-value" hotels early on. Our user studies, using ranking comparisons from several thousand users, validate the superiority of our ranking system relative to existing systems on several travel search engines. On a broader note, this paper illustrates how social media can be mined and incorporated into a demand estimation model in order to generate a new ranking system in product search engines. We thus highlight the tight linkages between user behavior on social media and search engines. Our interdisciplinary approach provides several insights for using machine learning techniques in economics and marketing research.

"Looking Through the Lens: Photography 1900-1960" is at the Baltimore Museum of Art through June 8.
Overall I thought the show lacked focus. There was a lot of the usual stuff you'd expect to see in such a survey exhibition (some Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Brassai, Atget all pretty uninspiring and some absolutely dreadful Paul Outerbridge prints) but there are some gems in this show which just about brought tears to my eyes. You just have to swim through a lot of chaff to get to the kernels of good stuff.
There were some fine Edward Weston prints (and some not so fine) but the highlight of the show for me was the Frederick Sommer cameraless abstract and the Aaron Siskind print next to it. Also, a unique collaboration between Horst and Salvador Dali, exquisitely printed.
If you're in the area it's certainly worth a few hours of your time.

Now that the season of lodging income tax is fast approaching, many among us are once again reminded to be meticulous and prompt enough in the lodging of our income tax returns. The "fiscal year" or what we commonly refer to as the "financial year" starts on the 1 July and ends on the 3oth of June of the coming year. Anyone, therefore, who has taxable incomes, should be wary of not lodging one's tax return because one may incur penalties for not lodging it. The lodging season for tax returns starts right after the end of the fiscal year which is on the 1st of July and is due on the 31st of October, giving taxpayers ample time to lodge their income tax returns. Likewise, the previous inconvenient ways of lodging income tax returns has been made easy with the introduction of the electronic lodging system several years ago.
The new electronic system is indeed very convenient, easy, cool, and secured. This means that you don't need to lodge your form directly to the ATO office or via the tedious way of mailing your form. Online, you can easily create a myGov account and fill out the form. You can review the form several times as long as it is not yet the 31st of October, for by then, you might be running out of time. There are two options for lodging your online form: you can either make use of myTax or you can utilize the etax software. If you go online and visit the website of ATO, you will be guided as to which between these two options is the appropriate one for your tax affair. Through a series of questions that you have to answer, you will be helped in figuring out the option that you need to choose. If after answering the series of questions, you are directed to use the etax option, you will also be guided on how to download the etax software.
There are specification requirements, however, for your computer and connection to perfectly download the software. Additionally, for window users, the procedures are simple: first, you got to right click on the given links on the website. Then, you have to select on the menu the "Save target as" option. A dialog box will appear. You can select the location within your computer on which you want to save the file. Then, you can click on "save." Afterwards, on the location where you have saved the file, you can click on "etax2014_msi." You should follow the instructions on the screen to readily install the program. Likewise, there are options such as: if your vision is impaired, you should select the option of "vision impaired" while installing the software. Then, the computer will prompt you to allow the installation of the e-tax software. You simply have to click "accept" and then click on "continue." Then, you can fill out the form once the installation process has been completed.
The new system of lodging income tax returns is indeed very helpful to taxpayers by allowing them to lodge their income tax returns conveniently, easily, anywhere, and anytime.

I am a working professional, yet I forget that I am an adult. Most days I still feel like an innocent child, just wanting to laugh and play my day away. I consider myself to be adventuresome and curious.
I think the city in which I live is one of the most remarkable places. So many ways to connect with nature. I can ride my bike pretty much anywhere. Each neighborhood as it's own quirky vibe, and amazing food.
Over the years I have travelled as far as New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Peru, Ireland, Slovenia and Croatia. Last place travelled was with India where my husband proposed to me! With a stop in Paris on the way home. We look forward to a delayed honeymoon to Bali, Indonesia sometime in the near future.

International Intervention in Ethnic Conflict
A Comparison of the European Union and the United Nations
|Publication Date
|May 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Macmillan
The EU and the UN have become increasingly involved in conflict resolution, yet they are rarely compared systematically. This book focuses on the role of bureaucracies in the European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) when dealing with conflict.
Tannam's comparative analysis of EU and UN policy-making procedures explores how and why they differ from each other, arguing that the UN Secretariat and the European Commission have autonomy under certain conditions and that reducing explanations of EU and UN policy outcomes to political will, or to the preferences of member states is inaccurate.
This unique empirical study, enhanced by interviews with practitioners, will be a valuable resource for scholars of International Relations, Peace Studies and Comparative Politics.

The heady scent of butter wafts out of James Miller's tiny neighborhood bakery each time the door opens, inviting neighbors to come inside. Miller's croissants, pastries and quiches are nothing short of superb, and the warmth of the windowed storefront space lingers.

Qualifying for a reverse mortgage is easy. Because you don't have to make payments, your credit score and income are not considered. Most reverse mortgages are backed by the federal government and underwritten under FHA's guidelines. They are called Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, or HECM (pronounced heck'um). Here are the factors that determine eligibility for these programs:
Age – the youngest borrower must be at least 62 years old.
Ownership – All persons on the home's title must be obligated by the reverse mortgage.
Equity – You must own your home free and clear, or you must pay off your mortgage with the reverse loan proceeds.
Credit – There is no minimum credit score. However, to be eligible for the FHA-backed reverse mortgage, you cannot be listed on CAIVRS, a list of people who have defaulted on government debt. If you in an active (filed but not yet discharged) bankruptcy, the loan can't be granted without the trustee's approval. Reverse mortgages are the only home loan products that don't involve higher interest rates and fees for people with bad credit.
Residency – The home must be your primary residence, and you must continue to live in it.
Collateral – The property must be in acceptable repair.
Jumbo or proprietary reverse mortgages are offered by private lenders. They have been designed to meet the needs of those whose requirements can't be met by the HECM (people listed on CAIVRS, for example, or people with expensive homes who want to borrow more than they can with the HECM). Jumbo reverse mortgages do not have to meet many of the guidelines established by HUD – the lenders make up their own guidelines.
