How NOT to Impress a Prospect
The phone message I received today blew me away. Not in the good sense, unfortunately, but along the lines of "is this how a printer in 2009 thinks he can impress a prospect?"
Not only did he mumble, making me strain to understand the company name as well as his own, but then he did something so lame that I almost felt sorry for the guy.
He rattled off his shop's equipment — by size and by manufacturer.
In the words of my friend Barbara, "Are ya kiddin me???"
Imagine getting a voice mail message from a local deli trying to sell you catering services.
"…And, uh, we got your Genoa salami and domestic as well as imported provolone. We make two kinds of cole slaw — three if you count our organic. This week we're featuring Country Club hot dogs and smoked turkey (shaved or sliced). You can get roast beef plain or our special Italian style, as well as pastrami roast beef. We carry tuna salad every day and sometimes seafood salad. I hope to hear from you soon."
On what planet is a print buyer blown away by a voice mail from an unknown printer, in which he rattles off the name, rank and serial number of his equipment?
I don't know if he'd been to my Website or not to check me out (rule #1), or Googled me (if rule #1 fails), but let's say he hadn't. How would a laundry list of presses motivate me to call him back?
What his message should have said is:
"Hi, Margie, I'm (your name) with (your company). We're a full-service printing firm in (your location). I don't know if you're familiar with our company or not. What you might not know is that we specialize in (fill in your niche here and it better be fact not hype). I know you probably get a lot of calls from printers, so I will send you (relevant samples, etc.) in the mail. Our Website is (yourname.com). I'll call you in a few weeks, after you've received my packet. Again, this is (your name) with (your firm). Thanks a lot."

Message from the Organizer
Inter BEE, which has been held for half a century since 1965, is organized into four exhibit categories: "Video and Broadcast Equipment," "Professional Audio Equipment," "Professional Lighting Equipment" and "ICT/Cross Media." This event is utilized as an opportunity to become a hub for information dissemination and exchange once a year by bringing together under one roof a wide range of stakeholders involved in the media industry from Japan and overseas, including broadcasters, telecommunication carriers and production/post-production operators. The exhibition is held under the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Japan Broadcasting Cooperation (NHK), the Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association and the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses, and with the cooperation of many other relevant organizations.
The business environment surrounding broadcasting is rapidly changing. For example, there are efforts underway toward the popularization of the next-generation broadcasting services such as 4K/8K ultra-high-definition video being promoted with an eye on 2020, cooperation between broadcasting and communications, and developments in the use and application of ICT. Moreover, the areas of the media and entertainment business are expanding and evolving beyond the conventional boundaries. For example, the live entertainment market that makes full use of sound and lighting equipment is expanding, the segments of users including high-end amateurs are increasing due to the diversification of video shooting techniques such as action cameras and experiences to try viewing and listening to video and audio are spreading. This is leading to the roles of Inter BEE also becoming more wide-ranging and ever more important.
Last year at Inter BEE 2014, which celebrated its 50th anniversary, the scale of the venue was expanded on from the previous year with a record number of 977 companies/organizations exhibiting in 1,773 booths and with the number of registered visitors also increasing significantly by 19% compared to the previous year to a record 37,959. Inter BEE attracts intense attention from Japan and overseas as a comprehensive international media exhibition that creates new business trends and leads the relevant industries.
Inter BEE 2015 will be held in Makuhari Messe over three days from November 18 (Wednesday) to 20 (Friday) in order for these expectations to lead to further major trends. Inter BEE, which appeals to the world about state-of-the-art technologies, responds to the needs of professionals to steadily showcase industry information to markets in Japan and overseas and provides a platform for effective and meaningful information exchange and business creation for all exhibitors and visitors. We are sincerely looking forward to everyone fully taking advantage of this opportunity and to actively participate toward acquiring new business opportunities.

Return of the Hussey: Pending a medical, Chris Hussey will be back in a Dons shirt very soon SP24926
/ Sport
AFC Wimbledon have resigned defender Chris Hussey - pending a medical test later today.
The 24-year-old made 70 appearances for the Dons under Terry Brown before joining Coventry City in 2010 - where he went on to make 54 appearances in the Championship and League One.
Hussey, who learnt his trade in the Dons U19s and reserve teams, and won the young player of the season award in 2008 and 2009, would be signed on a free transfer after being released by the Sky Blues.

Hi all,
Assume that I have 5 images as following: 1.bmp, 2.bmp, 3.bmp, 4.bmp, 5.bmp. I want to combine those 5 images into a single .mat file. Anyone knows how to solve this issue, please help me!!
Thanks in advance!!
What is the error message?
No products are associated with this question.
for k=1:5 h{k}=imread(sprintf('%d.bmp',k)); end save file h
Matt J is probably right. Here are some code snippets that may help you:
% Extract the individual red, green, and blue color channels. redChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 1); greenChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 2); blueChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 3);
% Get a weighted sum of the Red, Green, and Blue channels. grayImage = rgb2gray(rgbImage);
Hi all,
After taking a look around Matlab for a while, I seem to know how to solve this issue!! You are right, Matt J!! My bitmap files are all 3D as well as colourful!! That's why Matt Kindig's solution didnt work at all!! Here is my modification and it really works well!!
img = rgb2gray(imread('1.bmp'));
[r,c]= size(img);
h = NaN(r,c,5); %pre-allocate memory
h(:,:,1) = img;
for k=2:5
h(:,:,k) = rgb2gray(imread(sprintf('%d.bmp',k)));
save filename h
I am totally a newbie to Matlab, thus, all of your suggestions are always helpful to me and I am really in debt of it!!
Again, thanks a lot!! :)
PS: if there are any modifications for better performance as well as optimization, please let me know!!
@Le: Please be careful with the exclamation marks. The have a lot of power in English, e.g. much more than in German.
Your solution looks fine and efficient. Disk access like imread has the benefit, that it is such slow, that improvements in other parts of the code are usually not significant.

Key Words
globalization, networks, policy, regulation
Global environmental standards are emerging as an increasingly im-
portant influence on the environmental performance of industry. In
this chapter, we develop a new definition and a categorization of
global environmental standards that reflect the different agents in-
volved in their development and the particular network architecture
through which environmental standards achieve global reach. We
examine new forms of global environmental standards, such as firm-
based standards and standards initiated by third-party organizations,
such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and industry asso-
ciations. The growing interest in global environmental standards is
shown to arise from processes of economic globalization as well as
from increasing external pressure on firms and industries with re-
spect to environmental concerns. The chapter reviews what is known
about the prevalence of different types of global environmental stan-
dards and the efficacy of these standards in influencing the environ-
mental performance of firms and industries.

gypsy and horse by bluefootedWatch
©2005-2016 bluefooted
Sort of an attempt at Klimt's style - without everything that makes his work great, though Ink and gouache.
wooow Love it....that is sad that in our days Gypsies don't wear that clothing anymore...
Picture is stunning!!!
Picture is stunning!!!
it also reminds me of Yoshitaka Amano' work a bit too.
This is TOO beautiful.
Actually the first thing I thought when I saw this was that the colouring style was a lot like Klimt's! Great job!
I thought klimt right away just from seeing the thumbnail, I reckon this version of his style works really well!
Amazing. Love the colours
I just love the over all color. very handsome!
klimt y
I see the Klimt, but the layout and pose reminds me of Neilsen. Very nice.
the colors are incredible.
Thank you..after sifting thru heaps of ignorant racist, or just plain stupid stereotypes, it is nice to find an image that depicts what real Roma are like. It very much makes me think of the Domari in the Middle East, of which I am from my mother's side.
Simply beautiful!
She's lovely.
This is amazing!
stunning. i love gypsy girls. ^^
I love the colors!
I really like it. Her expression is just so...expressive!
So many great paintings.Thanks!
pure brilliance!
such a rich choice of colours, as well as beautiful drawing technique...
such a rich choice of colours, as well as beautiful drawing technique...
I love the contrast of the really bright patterns and the really dark hair and horse
Gypsies great artists and living artworks so alive in ur picture..
:hert: like!
oh, instant love, I love the black steed and the vibrant colors of the clothing
nice contrast. That klmit style you got here is totally off the wall very nice.
oh wow! thats so pretty, i love how you've used klimt's style, but you have your own mixed with it.i love the colours
Eh heh... okay I feel silly now, I just read your comment underneath and saw that the Klimt look was actually what you were going for...
Hm, this piece is a different style from your other works... It reminds me of Gustav Klimt.
i love the way you did the horse
Well, you definitely hit your target! Before I read your description, I thought 'hm, that's very Klimt-esque!) XD But you're being hard on yourself if you think it's 'sans everything that makes Klimt great'. Personally I prefer a cleaner style than his- namely, the sort of freedom and flow he made with his backgrounds and his shapes, but tamed in cleaner lineart and solid forms- like the gypsy's cloth, or the bamboo in the background. (At least, it seems like bamboo to me. ^_^)
Great job with the color scheme, as well- bold and yet muted in all the subtler details. (Her expression, the bangles on her wrist, the touch of color in her hand or the slight gold underneath her shawl.)

excellent! before i read your comment i immediately thought it looked very much klimpt.
excellent work. i admire your work.
excellent work. i admire your work.
Ah. This painting speaks so much to me, and it seems to convey so many feelings. She dons this bright and exuberant veil, yet her face is pale and submissive, looking down, probably reflecting memories by her most prized possession and only companion, a black stallion. Being part Roma, this really touches, and although you'd probably discard this as just another quick sketch, thanks for the upload. Good job, great work, keep it up.
i love this painting
and the use of klimpt is stunning
i love this painting
and the use of klimpt is stunning
RE: peachysticks everyone knows a gypsy's horse is always dark, it brings out the wildness and magic out of the gypsy...anyways... yea the whole thing is gorgous.. XD
Its Lovely... I thought 'Klimt' Before I read the caption..
pleaaaaaaaaase make this a print!!
very nice
this is so gorgeous
i love the layering of colour and gaps of pattern in the horse's coat
just beautiful
i love the layering of colour and gaps of pattern in the horse's coat
just beautiful
YUm,yum,yum! love gipsies!
such great colours!
I actually thought it looked klimtesque before I read your description - very nice!
Very very very beautiful !
It's unbelievable !!
It's unbelievable !!
This is very lovely. Well-done.
Background good, woman great, hmmmmmmm lose the horse or make it.......I'm not sure but it lakes unity with the rest. Not sure what to say, hope more advanced crit is ok.

OF the collection of seven letters from Pennsylvania put forth by Penn in the pamphlet here reproduced, the initial one by Dr. Nicholas More, which appears in full, occupying nearly one-half of the space, is of most interest and deservedly gives title to the piece. The other letters, however, although simply in the form of abstracts, contain items of value and -- barring that of the Pennsbury gardener -- are by men of like prominence in the governmental affairs of the province; but notice of them is reserved for the notes. Attention now is devoted to the writer of the most important letter alone.
Dr. More was a personage. He was not only the first speaker of the provincial assembly, held at Chester in December, 1682, but he has even the greater distinction of being the first ( 1684-1685) of the long and illustrous line of chief justices of Pennsylvania. In 1686 he was appointed by Penn one of the five commissioners to govern the province. He was, moreover, a great landowner, having in his tenure the manor of Moreland, a tract of 10,000 acres of land in Philadelphia County, adjacent to the Bucks County line. This territory, which now covers the greater part of Moreland Township, Montgomery County, was granted to him as a barony, entitling him to hold a court baron and a court leet and to take view of frankpledge. These feudal privileges, however, he never exercised. Adjoining his manor on the south was his countryseat "Green Spring," located about thirteen miles northeast of the Philadelphia of that day and about a half mile west of the present Somerton. It was here on September 13, 1686, that he wrote his letter and it was here that he obtained the agricultural results he describes.

Dhamma Rakhsa
The Dhamma Rakhsa project (which means "nature is a remedy") gathers different initiatives of cooperatives, villages, monasteries, schools and associations of the North and the East of Thailand who spontaneously asked to join the project. It is fully part of the already existing culture of preserving the community forests throughout rural Thailand.
Supporting small-scale farmers in North-Eastern regions of Thailand is a priority of the project, by developping climate-smart, agroecological methodology for increasing the productivity of rice and other crops and changing the management of plants, soil, water and nutrients.
Type: Community reforestation
Location: East of Thailand (Isan shelf) and north (Chiang Mai region)
Partner: cooperatives, villages, monasteries, schools and associations
Participants: fair trade and organic rice farmers, communities
Objectives: The people taking part in this project aim in priority at reforesting and maintaining their community forests, then, at a later stage, at a possible development of agroforestry models combining forestry and rice cultivation.
The System of Rice Intensification method
Methodology of sustainable rice production formalized in 1983 by the French Jesuit Father Henri de Laulanie in Madagascar after 20 years of observation
and experimentation.
Objective is to increase the yield of rice produced in irrigated farming without relying on purchased inputs (chemical fertilizer, improved seeds..).
Main points are:
Use of a minimum quantity of water, instead of continuous flooding
Individual transplanting of very young seedlings in a square pattern to give plants more room for root and tiller growth.

Change Control and Project Planning
Great post about iterative development and embracing change in large projects.
Blogging for Project Management
I really like this idea.
Joel and I recently worked on a project where we got in the habit of emailing the team regularly throughout the day with a quick note about what we were doing, or any problems.
I like the idea of the team members on a single blog, perhaps with Categories if the project was big enough.
Alas, I have my doubts that this would be accepted by my workplace.
CQL.NET - it compiles and runs, SHIP IT!
I managed to get through a set of CQL queries parsed and output and at first blush they seem to be correct. Next week or on the weekend I will see about comparing the XCQL output of my parser and of course the BER encoded string too (yuck).
Painfully obvious/non-obvious things...
So I spent 10 minutes yesterday looking in Help and Google searching for a way to access the value in a Hashtable object by its key. I've done it before, and I'm not stupid about these things, and its embarassing, frankly.
So today I am continuing work on porting a Java CQL library to C#. Yesterday I got a version to compile with no errors, and even made it more .NET-ish by implementing IFormattable in the parser class so I can just use .ToString("CQL" | "BER" | "XCQL") to render the query to a string. There's still a ton of code in there that is obviously not .NET-like.

If you want to fly to Austin, for instance, it's important that you establish whether you mean the Austin in Texas or the Austin in Minnesota before you buy your plane ticket. Failure to do so will threaten the success of your Austin-visiting strategy at a deep level.

You might also think of this in terms of the military phrase 'actionable intelligence.' If the intelligence isn't very good, the action you're contemplating probably isn't very well advised. (You could call that kind of information 'actionable stupidity.')

For many organizations today, however -- especially the larger ones that have been around a while -- ensuring that information is good is far from easy. This comes as a consequence of many factors, including:

The total volume of information, which is vastly higher today than it's ever been before. Is big data always a resource to be tapped? Or is it sometimes a challenge to be overcome?

The age of information -- in too many cases, it has long outlived its usefulness, may indeed be flat-out wrong and if it plays a part in strategies, those strategies will likely be compromised.

The way information can change as it's used in many ways, by many people, to achieve many goals. The game of Chinese Whispers (also called Telephone) illustrates pretty well how easily and thoroughly that can happen.

The fact that information can occur in multiple versions which differ from each other in subtle or blatant ways. Reconciling these different versions to arrive at a single accurate truth, and eliminating the versions which aren't true, is no simple matter.

Information governance can help you fulfill the promise of big data
Recently I discovered a blog on these subjects by an IBM expert, Dave Corrigan -- aka, IBM's Director of Product Marketing for InfoSphere -- and was intrigued to find him discussing these various ideas in terms of trust.

It makes perfect sense, of course. If you're building an omelette out of eggs, or a house out of wooden beams, you need to be able to trust that they aren't rotten. And if you're building business strategies, processes and decisions out of basic information, the same logic applies.

This, in short, is the heart of information governance - maximizing the business value of information by maximizing its quality and trustworthiness in a variety of related and interconnected ways. A quick phone call with Corrigan confirmed this interpretation.

'Information Governance establishes trust in information,' he said. 'Without trust, organizations fail to capitalize on new insightsBut when business users can trust information, they act upon insights from analytics and reports, and operate more efficiently when using enterprise applications.'

This struck me as particularly interesting because of the implications. Picture a CIO who, having invested heavily in big data solutions, proceeds to collect piles and piles of data, runs his shiny new analytics tools on the piles and generates lots of impressive-looking reports, only to round-file the reports because, at some basic level, they just don't seem very trustworthy. Or, possibly worse, he uses the reports to make major decisions anyway, despite profound doubts about the wisdom of this course of action.

Talk about an indictment of technology! I asked Corrigan how common that scenario really was.

'More common than you'd think,' he said. 'Recent studies tell us that one in three organizational leaders frequently make decisions based on information they don't trust, or don't have. Half say they don't have access to the information they need to do their jobs. And 60 percent, a clear majority, think they have more data than they can use effectively.'

Information governance is all about solving that problem. The idea is to make data more trustworthy so that you can then proceed confidently to use it in more ways, solve more problems and create more value -- both for yourself and for your clients, customers and business partners.

Six pillars of governance to support business goals and strategies
This, of course, is easier said than done. Fortunately, you don't have to do it alone. Corrigan explained to me that as a result of IBM's hundred-year history in business and an endless list of successful customer engagements, IBM has learned a thing or two about how information should be governed for best results -- actually, six things.

'Trusted information, as we see it, is dependent on six key technology aspects,' said Corrigan. 'Basically, you need to ensure that information is understood, clean, holistic, current, secure and documented.'

Let's walk through those aspects briefly.

Understood information is information that has a clear, established context. That means its structure, its source and all associated metadata. Information has to be understood in this sense before definitions and policies concerning it can be shared across projects.

Correct information is just that -- correct. It's been standardized and cleansed, is in the right format and is known to be accurate. Logistics companies that ship products, for instance, will need to be quite sure they have the correct shipping address or customer satisfaction is going to take a major hit.

Holistic information is information that's been reconciled across all repositories, so that inaccurate versions of it are removed and a single accurate version is left. The logistics company above may have a correct shipping address on file for a customer, but it will also need to get rid of the other five addresses it also has, in other databases, all of which are completely wrong.

Current information is chronologically accurate. Keeping all information forever, as if it were all perpetually useful, will inevitably create problems. Instead, information should have an expiration date (rather like milk, water filters or members of Congress). This minimizes the odds it will influence decisions in ways it shouldn't.

Secure information has been protected and monitored over its lifecycle to verify only the right people have seen it, changed it or used it in any way. One of the best ways to increase the trustworthiness of information is to keep the wrong people from getting access to it in the first place.

Finally, documented information has a known lineage to establish its history. This is rather similar to the idea of provenance in the art world, used to reflect changing ownership. If you're planning to spend $50 million on a Picasso, you need to be sure it was not in fact painted eight years ago by someone named Steve. Just as with provenance, information lineage can be used to trace problems, guide decisions and yield a better outcome.

All of these capabilities are provided by IBM's InfoSphere family, which includes leading solutions like InfoSphere Information Server, InfoSphere Guardium and InfoSphere Master Data Management.

InfoSphere solutions aren't just standalone tools; they interoperate at a deep level, forming a complete information governance solution. This solution, in turn, helps organizations get the best use out of information even in the most sophisticated cases, where information volumes are incredibly high, use cases are many and it's critical that the information be as trustworthy as possible.

Corrigan sees this interoperable design, in which governance capabilities are logically linked, as fundamentally necessary if major IT initiatives are really going to be successful in a pragmatic sense.

'Common projects that drive the need for integration and governance include newly installed enterprise application, or a data warehouse or big data systems that are the foundation of analytics and reporting,' said Corrigan. 'Improving the trustworthiness of information in each of those enterprise projects requires various combinations of the six aspects, through Information Governance technology, to fully satisfy requirements. That's why we see Information Integration and Governance as a common platform of integrated capabilities for data integration, data quality, privacy and security, lifecycle management, and master data management.'

If you're like me, you get an image of a bored group of people listening to a consultant. The consultant asks Person A, who is blindfolded, to fall backwards, trusting that Person B will make a rescuing catch. (In the Hollywood version, Person B is unexpectedly distracted and Person A brains himself on the concrete floor.)

The trouble with this sort of exercise, as I see it, is simple. There is not, in the usual course of business operations, much in the area of wearing blindfolds and falling backwards. It just never comes up.

This being the case, a better team-building exercise would recreate more accurately the specific challenges that people do experience every day in their jobs.

Furthermore, it would do that in a more accelerated and quantified manner than would be possible in real life. That way, any lessons learned could be learned much more quickly than would be possible on the job, and participants could get a sense of just how effective (or imperfect) their collaboration really was.

If you've ever seen the military simulations that fighter pilots use in training, you know what I'm talking about. The basic idea is to give these pilots a way to learn that

(a) closely recreates the real experience of flying a plane

(b) can be executed much more quickly than really flying a plane

(c) assigns the pilot a score, and thus puts performance in very clear terms

(d) doesn't risk the daunting possibility that a stupefied newbie pilot will steer an $80 million Lockheed Lightning plane into a mountain.

What if you could take that basic premise, and apply it to IT complexities -- creating a kind of simulator of them? Wouldn't that be a powerful learning experience, capable of teaching people all kinds of complex lessons in short order?

Well, that's exactly what IBM will be offering at Pulse 2012 March 4-7 in Las Vegas: a Service Management Simulator Workshop.

Are you up for the challenge?
Going beyond the fighter-pilot simulator described above, this Simulator focuses not on individual performance, but on team performance.

The idea of the Simulator is to assemble a team of 15 to 20 players in a room, assign them different job roles and simulate a real-world organization facing typical real-world business and IT challenges.

Then hammer them with those challenges and see how well they do.

The roles vary widely both in terms of hierarchical rank and job duties:

Senior management (executive team)

Line-of-business owners

Operations management

Service desk staff

Technical support services

Furthermore, the hypothetical logistics organization where they work focuses on shipping and fulfillment, and like all such organizations, holds itself to an incredibly high standard of performance.

Remember this slogan? 'Fed Ex...when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.'

You can see the guarantee implied by that kind of language. So the collaboration between team members at this organization has to be as seamless and friction-free as possible to increase the odds of that guarantee working out for the maximum number of shipments.

When issues arise (and the Simulator is just merciless in this respect), those issues have to be isolated to root causes, assigned to the right people and resolved lickety-split. Otherwise, deadlines will be missed and the organization will sustain a quantified business impact.

And since the scoreboard in the Simulator is constantly updated to reflect revenue and profitability in specific dollar terms, that impact will be painfully clear.

Pull a few ITIL rabbits out of the hat
Now, it does help quite a bit that this organization (just as real-world organizations) has a powerful resource to draw on in accomplishing all of these goals.

I'm referring to ITIL -- the Information Technology Infrastructure Library, aka The World's Leading Best Practices Framework for IT People. In the latest version (v3), ITIL was updated specifically to address service management issues of the sort you'll find in the Simulator.

However (as those with experience in best practices have discovered for themselves), ITIL isn't really a 1-2-3-4 ops manual. It doesn't talk about particular solutions from particular vendors, or how to use and combine them. It instead talks in more abstract terms about basic tasks (like trouble ticket assignment or server provisioning or resource allocation). Then it leaves the implementation up to you.

So, while team members can lean on ITIL concepts and practices to get a higher score, they'll need to figure out all the details for themselves. Just like they'd have to do in the real world.

A session with the Simulator runs for several hours, and teams will get a chance to play several rounds (each taking about an hour). They're usually going to need several rounds, too.

This is a hardcore, no-holds-barred, spit-on-your-corpse-and-laugh sort of game, and it's not for wannabes. For instance, when stuff goes wrong, and it's always going wrong, a loud horn blares. If you don't like that, or if you find it distracting, too bad. Perhaps you can find a Pac Man machine somewhere in Vegas and play that instead.

But for those who really engage with the Simulator, and make a serious, sustained effort to learn and improve, the payoff will be considerable: a drastically improved comprehension of what it takes to make ITIL concepts fly in a pressure-packed environment that closely recreates the real world.

David Ojalvo, from IBM's Service Management group, can bear witness to that. Watching an early version of the Simulator in 2011, his observation was this:

'After three hours and three rounds, the group was both exhausted and exhilarated… I had a chance to interview several of the participants after the session, and they were all effusive in their praise for the workshop. Clearly, the workshop far exceeded their expectations, and they were anxious to share the experience and apply some of the best practices at their own organizations.'

Holding a mirror up to real life
Toward that end -- practical application -- the Simulator has been tweaked to reflect the way organizations have changed in recent years.

For instance, beyond ITIL implementation and service management complexities, it also now incorporates a second organization as well as the logistics company. This second organization is an external service provider that handles some (but not all) of the IT services the logistics organization is responsible for.

If that has a familiar ring to you, ponder the phrase 'third-party cloud host' and consider how much more popular those have become in the last year or two. IBM is aware of that development and has taken it into account.

The result is that the game now actually involves two hierarchies, two infrastructures and twice the total required collaboration -- all of which makes it harder than ever. (I told you it was merciless.)

And, of course, the challenges that come up vary not only in nature, but also in timing. So don't be surprised if you get slammed with four different challenges simultaneously, and have to conduct an improvised triage to decide what to do first. This represents a challenge in itself, and it can make or break the eventual score teams get -- just as problem prioritization can make or break real-world businesses.

Maybe all this sounds a little intimidating? Well, it's meant to be. If it weren't, it wouldn't be much of a simulation. But more importantly, when all is said and done, it's also fun.

'In my opinion,' said analyst Rich Ptak of Ptak/Noel after attending the Pulse 2011 Simulator Workshop, 'this was by far the most fun and engaging workshop I've attended in a long time. This opinion was confirmed with other attendees... I wasn't ready to quit at the end of the three hours. I was really involved and want to go for more. If you get a chance, take this workshop, but watch out: the scorekeeper has lots of surprises for you.'

Think you're ready for the Simulator? Register to attend Pulse 2012 and find out!

The Workshop will be held Sunday, March 4, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm in Room 306, located on Level 3 of the MGM Grand Hotel Conference Center. To receive additional information, email Tivoli Marketing at firstname.lastname@example.com and include the following details: confirmation that you want to attend along with your name, title, email address, and cell phone number. You will receive a return email from David Ojalvo confirming your participation in the session.

- "Edd may be gone, but his world will keep on spinning."
- The "desire room" bit in Space Face is quite lighthearted until the very end of the scene, when Commander Bai stands there, looking sadly at the image of a small planet.
Matt: What's that?Bai: Home. Let's move on.
- Tord. Though him leaving was unexpected, it basically drove his fans insane to the point they NEVER LEAVE THE POOR GUY ALONE. HE CAN'T EVEN USE HIS REAL NAME ANYMORE. Even Tom agrees the fans went too far.
- It got worse when Tord came back and posted his feelings and thoughts on Edd's passing and was willing enough to answer questions fans had for him. He also clarified he left Eddsworld because he wanted to do his thing. He ended up disappearing again because fans lost it.
- There is a glance of hope, as one of Tord's friends, Sadak Kahie, announced on Twitter and Tumblr that he is returning to Youtube, but we may not know for sure..
- "Hey Eddheads. We have some bad news..." The way this was said, along with the news is pretty depressing. We all saw his struggle throughout his videos, and to see it end is just... Well, tear jerking, to say the least.
- Tom finally having his spirit broken:
I know I shouldn't be typing this out but.. I don't know what else to do.I am desperately unhappy. I'm failing to run Eddsworld and the guilt is killing me. Grief has broken my spirit.To you, the viewers, I'm sorry for the delays. I promised you so much and have consistently disappointed you. You gave me your trust, your patience and your money and I'm yet to come through with anything. You deserve a lot better and you WILL get it.To my coworkers (Paul especially), I'm sorry I've been such a poor director/producer. You've been grounded by my lack of input for months now and people need to understand who is responsible.Finally, to Edd, I'm sorry I've let you down, man. I can't do this without you. I'm just not strong enough.Thank you all for waiting; I'm sorry you have to. Things will get better.Until then,- Tom
- Tom seems to be suffering from breakdowns following Edd's death. According to one tumblr post (along with the above mentioned one which have been deleted..), Tom stated his devastation over Edd's passing, and was heart broken by the fact he wasn't there when Edd passed (stating he was actually celebrating with friends..).
My close friend, business partner and - if I'm being honest - muse Edd Gould was dead. Cancer had made its final move on him the night before. While I partied, he fought for his life and lost. (...) I miss him so fucking much.
- A brief one occurs in Tom's Tales of Crazy. In the beginning Tom narrates how the 'Tom's Tales of...' started with the first two installments with two drawings of his and Edd's heads, before jumping on quickly describing asdfmovie and then stating 'stuff got kinda wierd', with Edd's head disappearing and for a small moment, Tom looks saddened.
- Tom confirming on his tumblr that he will be indeed stepping down as the showrunner, admitting he couldn't do the show without Edd, as well as lamenting over his promises on he did to the fans and crew only to screw them over when he didn't mean too.
- The Ex-girlfriend comic strip. it's kinda sad seeing Eduardo (one of Edd's neighbours) sighing on a picture of him and his dead girlfriend (You're not gonna believe who she is)

Visitors to Tate Modern can look forward to a new series of specially commissioned Turbine Hall installations funded by a major 11-year partnership between Tate and South Korean automakers Hyundai.
The Hyundai Commission will see a different artwork transform the iconic public space annually from autumn 2015, giving visitors the opportunity to view unique works from international contemporary artists.
The Turbine Hall has previously housed commissioned works from artists such as Ai Weiwei, Olafur Eliasson and Tacita Dean, attracting worldwide attention and millions of visitors a year.
Hyundai will also work with Tate's Asia-Pacific Acquisition Committee to acquire nine key works by South Korean artist Nam June Paik.
The acquisition of Paik's work, which examines humanity's relationship with technology through various mediums, reflects Tate's aim to build a larger platform for international artists in its collection.
The partnership, confirmed until 2025, is the longest initial commitment from a corporate sponsor in Tate's history.
Tate director Nicholas Serota said: 'Hyundai's commitment to Tate will give us an unprecedented opportunity to plan for the future, and will secure a decade of exciting new Turbine Hall commissions for all Tate Modern's visitors.'
Admission to the Hyundai Commission is free.

After Unspeakable Abuse, Teddy Is Ready For A Forever Home
Written By: Brandon Brumage|
February 7, 2014|
Posted In:
As the dramatic before and after photos above illustrate, Teddy was in major trouble before being rescued by our friend Blake of ResQPet. He had a large tumor on his head and was found near a river, apparently the victim of an attempted intentional drowning.
American Dog Rescue Foundation was more than willing to donate much-needed funds on Teddy's long road to recovery, but now we need to call in a favor from YOU. As a senior dog who's already endured so much, Teddy needs and deserves a loving forever home to live out the remainder of his life in comfort and peace.
Would you be willing to take Teddy in? If not, do you know someone who would? Please share this post with as many dog lovers as possible. Teddy is in California now, but we're happy to ensure his transport to a loving forever home elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for your help with giving this sweet, innocent dog a second chance.

- Gila monster - Children's Encyclopedia (Ages 8-11)
Many people fear the lizard known as the Gila monster. It is one of only two kinds of lizards that are poisonous to humans. (The other is the beaded lizard.) The Gila monster is a strong biter that is hard to shake loose. But the lizard is also a sluggish creature, and it hardly ever bites people. When it does, its venom, or poison, rarely kills.
- Gila monster - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The Gila monster, along with the Mexican beaded lizard, are the only two species of lizards inhabiting North America that are venomous. The Gila monster was named for the Gila River Basin and inhabits desert areas of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The Gila monster's scientific name is Heloderma suspectum.


text: Good afternoon, all: Many of you probably participated in the opening discussions with representatives of Sloan-C last week. Since then, members of the SL- NET's Social Networking Committee have been feverishly at work. Accordingly, you are cordially invited to an SL-NET dance party next Friday night, August 17, at 6pm SLT in the Sloan-C area of Teaching in SL. This SLURL should take you to the entry area; just walk due west and look for the dancing avatars on the dock, not far from the ever-circling ducks: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Teaching/54/107/22 If you have difficulty locating the par-tay, IM JS Saltwater and I'll happily TP you. Please note: - in SL, no one knows you can't dance. We will have plenty of dance animations on hand, and you should have no trouble finding someone to show you how to use them (usually a matter of one or two clicks). With luck, we'll even get some synchronized dancing going. - Informal attire is STRONGLY encouraged. Trot out your tartiest club togs, your blingiest bling, your raggediest jeans, your least humanoid avatar, your most gender-bent alts--anything goes except nudity/weapons. - We will try to provide food and drink, as well as a taxi service for avis who grow so MUVE-drunk they can't figure out how to exit. - Chaos may reign at certain points, but that's SL. In fact, that's RL, too, but you knew that. The point of this whole exercise--besides dancing, for which no rationale is ever needed--is to give everyone an opportunity to experience the social aspects of SL and network with like-minded folks. We hope this will be the first of many similar events, including explorations, tours, surf parties, etc. We will also vary the time and day so as to try to include as many people as possible. See you then! Joe Clark / JS Saltwater

Interested in South Padre Island?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for South Padre Island each week.
Topics include Dining Scene, United States: For Foreign Visitors & more!
South Padre Island is a favorite Spring Break vacation destination popular with college kids who are on the prowl for a little bit of craziness in March. Though it is relatively safe for travel, South Padre Island can get a little bit out of control at this time of year. Visitors should be wary of traveling there during this time unless they are planning to be involved in the party scene.
Other than spring break concerns, there are not a lot of safety issues to be worried over for a South Padre Island stay. The area is relatively crime free. Water safety and sun safety are always important in a place which gets as warm as this, but other than that, travelers should get out in the sun and have some fun.

Swim lessons
Comments (9)
Diamond Pair ( . Y . ) and still going strong!!!!
For this child I have prayed and the Lord has granted the desires of my heart. 1Samuel 1:27
We just started swim lessons a couple of weeks ago and my daughter loves them! They really do not do a whole lot of teaching at this age, but more playing and just getting them used to the water.
DS May 2011
DD Due 1-1-2014!
We had our first lesson yesterday. My DD loves swimming at the lake and loves bath time, but she didn't enjoy the pool as much. I'm not sure what was going on, but she whined for part of it and seemed to be bothered by something. She's been to outdoor pools before, and never had an issue, so I'm guessing the loud noise inside and strong chlorine smell bothered her. All in all, she wasn't as thrilled as I thought she would be, but definitely enjoyed some activites. I think it may take another lesson before she is completely sold. :)
Good luck, and have fun!
Good luck!!

The Pinchbeck interview was good. GRTUD probably liked the special effects Steven used prior to him introducing his guest (Steven really introduces his self in a faux stab at the prime time pundits, if you haven't seen the show - actually funny) that reminded him of his good times before becoming "a family man".
If you really want to see a great interview, casting a net across the dark waters of our times, check out Jon Stewart's interview with Philip Zimbardo, author of "The Lucifer Effect" and conductor of the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971. My only complaint of the show, in these situatinns, with these type guests, is they should shelve all the stupid kid stuff (phoney interviews and commentary) and make the interview longer than 6 - 8 mins. I understand that they can attract political heavyweights by sticking to this format but someone like Zimbardo deserved the entire half hour because he knows what causes situations like many of the political fiascos in progress now. That said, I did some follow up and have found his web site to be very informative. http://www.lucifereffect.com

I Dream of Jeanie.
Oh yeah, we did "Dream of Jeanie", sometimes several times a day (before sindication, seedless pot and Viagra, too - wink ;)

one of the funniest shows ever made, I dream of Jeanie.
that Roger Healy was a real card. it was a total stoner, stumble-bum, SITUATION comedy...
poor old Dr. Bellows; he must have thought someone dosed him.
I like The Daily Show as well (learn how to spell Golden Road you hack) but the writing has gone a bit down hill after Steven left and started his own (and better) show. No slouch as far as guests on that show either. My recent favorite was author Daniel Pinchbeck. And those bears, we have to get them under control. Where's Homeland Security when you need them?
The Dude Abides!
and I like the Daily Show too. I guess if I'm going to watch TV at all, I should add that to the list. I haven't seen Daily Show alot, but what I've seen has been incredibly good.
...thanks Izzy for the new forum.

Still my favorite faux news program. Did anyone see the guy who pushed (through the Freedom of Information Act) to get the CIA "Family Jewles" released. How many main stream news shows even gave the story more than a moment air time? I don't care what coolwhipdude said, it's a BETTER news show than most.
