50 year old woman | Silver Spring, MD, USA | Seeking men 50-55 within 50 miles
Life and circumstances made me into the person I am today "Strong Independent woman and proud single parent of two daughters both over the ages of twenty. Most people who knows me would say that I am a kind and wonderful person, and would you believe she has children over the ages of twenty. I am still looking for my Mr dream. Someone who knows what 's on your mind without having to say a word, would put a smile on your face that lights up a whole room just by his presence. I thought iI had that dream fulfilled but when realitly crept in, I realized it was just a bad dream, because I am still single. I would still go after my dream, for in life we sometimes have to stumble and fall a few times, but if we pick ourselves up and continue following our dreams they would be fulfilled in the end. So if you are that someone who can put sunshine into my day even when there is a blizzard outside, who would give me that extra two minutes just to say hello when I call, and if he is busy will call me back before the day ends,someone who knows how to have fun yet loving, caring and understanding. So if you think you might be him, then lets give this a chance to see if we can make a connection..

Fast forward to 2012: we realized USV folks publish different things, in different places and at different times; our portfolio companies and their teams create content spread over the web; and the USV network produces a vast amount of interesting material. It led us to consider the next stage of the evolution of the Union Square Ventures internet presence, and our instincts are telling us it may look and feel more like an application or web/mobile service that aggregates content rather than strict content publishing.
We are therefore looking for someone who can help us build this specific project. Someone who is well versed in web and mobile and design methodologies but who is also a creative thinker. We have some basic ideas of the application we would like to build, but these are not set in stone; we value someone who can not only design and build but also help with the initial brainstorming, ideas, scope and prototyping.
We imagine this opportunity will be of a few months duration. If this sounds like fun to you please tell us a little about yourself in the form below.

2014 Season 13 American Idol judges Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr have Nicky Minaj and Mariah Carey to blame for having to deal with diva Jennifer Lopez and her ridiculous demands. Harry has tried to downplay J-Lo's bad attitude, but Rosie Perez, who worked with Jenny on the Block when the New Kids on the Block were still popular, says Jennifer has always been a bit of a "B."
Like Us on Facebook
Before Jennifer Lopez would come back to American Idol for Season 13 she had peculiar demands for the producers.
A show insider told Star that the aging Lopez wanted to make sure there wasn't going to be anyone taking away from her attention:
"She demanded to be the only female judge on the show but had no idea how popular Harry would become.
"J-Lo may be great at masking her feelings on camera, but behind the scenes she is definitely still a diva."
According to a friend of Lopez in Star, Jennifer can't help but treat Harry with distain and disrespect:
"J-Lo thinks that Harry is one of the most childish frown men she has ever met. He doesn't take anything seriously and just won't stop his juvenile behavior. She thinks he's immature and lame, and she only talks to him if she has to."
Rosie Perez says that Harry should be happy that J-Lo is giving him the silent treatment, because when they worked together on Living Color the not-so-Fly Girl would sometimes verbally abuse everyone within ear-shot.
In her new book, Handbook for an Unpredictable Life, Rosie Perez recalled a "for instance" when J-Lo really showed her despicable diva tendencies (via Us Weekly):
"[Lopez] went off...[Screaming] I'm better than any of these girls and you know it!"
So really we all have Keenen Ivory Wayans for Jennifer Lopez ever even being on TV when you think about.
You're forgiven Mariah Carey.

Smoked smelly bean curd
Last updated by chinatravel at 2014/11/3
The bean curd is smelly, but not as smelly as those sold in Guangzhou (the capital of Guangdong Province). People usually roast the bean curd over charcoal fire, put some dry or wet spices on the surface. The price is 0.15 yuan for a piece of the roasted bean curd. And you will not stop until you finish 30 or 40 pieces because they are so delicious. A bowl of cool pawpaw water or a bowl of cool rice shrimp (mi liang xia, a kind of local food made of glutinous rice and shaped like small shrimps) is also good after eating so many spicy roasted bean curd.

It's bye-bye 'American Pie' for Jason Biggs who stars in Grassroots as the campaign manager for his best friend's platform; which is to widen the monorail system throughout Seattle. It's a crazy scheme, but it just might work.
When it comes to real life jobs, Jason tells host Robin Milling he hasn't been that lucky as he was fired from a soap opera, a commercial with Sarah Michelle Gellar, and a television series he starred in which to his delight was canceled shortly after he was let go.
Jason admits he's not very political but is happy the film might encourage young people to start their own grassroots program and make a difference. When it comes to his own platform for change, Jason jokes that he just doesn't have enough crazy ideas to make something happen.
Next Jason can be heard as the voice of Leonardo in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series for Nickelodeon.

Ampio announces STRIDE study AP008 did not reach its primary endpoint
Ampio Pharmaceuticals announced that the multiple injection STRIDE study AP008 did not reach its primary endpoint against the saline control even though there was a statistically significant reduction in pain compared to baseline for patients receiving Ampion. This pain reduction with Ampion was consistent across all sites and with our previously reported studies Ampion is safe and well tolerated. Ampio Pharmaceuticals launched the Phase III program for AmpionTM to treat pain due to osteoarthritis, OA, of the knee. Each patient received three 4ml intra-articular injections of Ampion, or the saline placebo, one at baseline, the second at two weeks and the third at four weeks. In OA, saline is known to be a partial therapeutic and not a true placebo, but has been the control used in all published OA drug trials.

One of the major questions in ecology and evolutionary biology is how variation in the genome enables species to adapt to divergent environments. Here, we study footprints of thermal selection in candidate genes in six wild populations of the afrotropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana sampled along a c. 3000 km latitudinal cline. We sequenced coding regions of 31 selected genes with known functions in metabolism, pigment production, development and heat shock responses. These include genes for which we expect a priori a role in thermal adaptation and, thus, varying selection pressures along a latitudinal cline, and genes we do not expect to vary clinally and can be used as controls. We identified amino acid substitution polymorphisms in 13 genes and tested these for clinal variation by correlation analysis of allele frequencies with latitude. In addition, we used two FST-based outlier methods to identify loci with higher population differentiation than expected under neutral evolution, while accounting for potentially confounding effects of population structure and demographic history. Two metabolic enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, UGP and Treh, showed clinal variation. The same loci showed elevated population differentiation and were identified as significant outliers. We found no evidence of clines in the pigmentation genes, heat shock proteins and developmental genes. However, we identified outlier loci in more localized parts of the range in the pigmentation genes yellow and black. We discuss that the observed clinal variation and elevated population divergence in UGP and Treh may reflect adaptation to a geographic thermal gradient.

Why do the soles of my feet hurt?
The bottoms of both of my feet, I guess it would be the soles, have been causing me pain lately. They hurt when I walk like they are being stretched too far, but all I'm doing is walking normally. What might make my feet hurt like this?
Pain in the feet is a very common. There are many causes and fortunately, many cures. I would recommend that you have this evaluated by your
primary care doctor
. He or she, if it is deemed appropriate, may refer you to a foot specialist (known as a
). The foot is actually a very complex structure. The small area of the feet must support the entire body's weight as well as provide the movability required for us to move. Because of this, it is very easily injured. The tendons, muscles, bones and ligaments can all cause a problem. Probably the most common cause of the bottom of the
foot pain
is a process known as plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is the tendon that connects the bones of the bottom of the foot. This plantar fascia can easily be inflamed by repetitive stress -- caused by walking and the weight of your body. This normally occurs because an abnormal arch of your foot. Other common problems include bone fractures, nerve problems and muscle problems. Talk to your doctor. There are many treatments for this. You may need better arch support which can be provided by an orthotic (shoe insert). I would strongly recommend a podiatrist. Good luck!

Supply Chain Management "Our company is augmenting its SAP R/3 ERP solution with SAP APO supply chain planning software. The logistics planning capabilities in the solution are vital to the efficiency of our supply chain." Jeff Morgan, Vice President of Information Technology, Motts (Cadbury Schweppes) 118 CHAPTER 5 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Supply Chain Management I Colgate-Palmolive Microsoft HP "Our primary objectives were to improve customer service, increase inventory turnover, and streamline production. Thanks to SAP APO, we achieved all this in a short time and at a low cost." Richardo Benitez, supply chain manager, Hylsa 119 Supply Chain Management "The global deployment of mySAP SCM throughout HP is helping us to operate more efficiently in increasingly complex and competitive environments. We expect to see significantly lower manufacturing cycles and costs, as well as improved on-time customer delivery early on in the deployment of mySAP SCM." Craig Flower, vice-president and CIO, Hewlett-Packard Co. Chapter 5 Supply Chain Management Supply chains have become a key element in company competitiveness and profitability. The effectiveness and efficiency of your supply chain can be what makes the difference between you and the competition. This means supply chains need to be faster, more precise and more adaptable. You need to be able to customise your supply chain to your needs and change it rapidly according to market and economic conditions. Innovative and successful companies are moving beyond the traditional, linear supply chain. Instead, they are creating communities of networked supply chains in which suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and customers all collaborate. 120 CHAPTER 5 A NEW ERA IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT By Dwight Klappich of Meta Group When Bob Dylan sang, 'The times, they are a-changin',' he may have unwittingly created the theme tune for the modern supply chain. Never before have we seen so much change come so fast and with such far-reaching implications. While much of the focus over recent years has been on evolutionary change, leading-edge companies have been pursuing revolutionary transformations. For example, companies like Cisco, Dell, and WalMart have redefined supply chain excellence. Four strategic imperatives are driving the revolutionary changes taking place in supply chain management over the next few years. We'll call these the four Vs of supply chain management: velocity, visibility, virtual supply chain, and value. Velocity Today's marketplace is about speed – speed to market, speed through the supply chain. The speed customers, the 'now generation' with a click mentality, expect their needs to be fulfilled immediately. The Internet is both the solution to and the cause of this increased velocity. Companies will need to arm themselves with the tools and technologies needed to operate at warp speed. The velocity of change is unprecedented. In the late 70s when IBM released the 4300 computer, delivery dates were as long as a year after ordering. Today, during the same time, a PC could go through five or six evolutions. Companies are managing larger product portfolios, and they are being forced to dramatically compress the time from idea to market. We see significant growth in new technologies that help facilitate new product introduction. Technologies like collaborative product design, strategic sourcing technologies, and process automation for introducing new products are helping early adopters push more through their pipeline faster and with better overall results. 121 Supply Chain Management In addition to the speed of change, products are moving faster through the supply chain. Several years ago it was common for inventory to sit for months. Today, leading-edge companies manage inventory in motion, striving to never see it sit idle. Real-time planning was once considered an oxymoron. Now, it is critical that sophisticated planning techniques (such as optimised available to promise, dynamic sourcing, or reroute in-transit) be brought into the transaction process. Visibility As velocity accelerates, the need for network-wide visibility increases because you can 't manage what you can 't see. Today, products and orders move through numerous information black holes as they navigate the supply chain. Companies need complete order and product visibility, and they are looking to extend this visibility to their customers, partners, and suppliers. The challenge with providing supply chain visibility is that information resides and travels across multiple systems both inside and outside a company. Visibility is principally about connectivity. Flexible integration technologies that provide both data and process integration with alert engines that can push information to the right place are making this cross- application and cross-company visibility a reality. Web-based portals layer on top of the integration technologies to provide user-customisable information. Virtual supply chain The modern supply chain has no boundaries, existing as much in cyberspace as in the physical world. Leading-edge companies are rewriting their definitions of customers, suppliers, partners, and even competitors. Outsourcing is on the rise, and rivals are becoming partners. The virtual supply chain is all about flexibility and agility. By managing the supply chain in cyberspace, companies will be able to reconfigure their networks on the fly as market conditions change. 122 CHAPTER 5 Today, few supply chains are self-contained. Organisations trade resources, resulting in a network of separate, but electronically interconnected businesses. Increasingly, competition is as much between supply chains as it is between companies. In this environment, the supply chain takes on the attributes of an independent organization forcing management across organizations to communicate and share goals, objectives, and information. The Internet provides a wealth of new technologies that support the virtual supply chain. Collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment allow companies to cooperate over the Web in the planning process, reducing uncertainty in supply and demand. The growth in electronic marketplaces is a testament to the potential value in organisations building coalitions of trading partners. Inter-enterprise integration technologies allow organisations to move from just passing data (as with EDI) to sharing information and synchronising processes across organisations. Value The modern supply chain requires a shift in thinking from a volume-based perspective to a value-based perspective. Moving forward, supply chain effectiveness will be measured on how well it adds value to customers, trading partners, and shareholders. This shift in focus will require a cross-functional and cross-organisational understanding of all supply chain dynamics so a balance can be reached between all constituencies. Companies will move away from departmentally oriented metrics (fill rate, asset utilisation, periods of supply, and the like) to supply chain wide metrics (such as total cycle time, total customer satisfaction, and return on all assets). Companies will use value-based metrics to build their virtual supply chain networks. The need for agility demands frequent reconfiguration of the network. This means network planning technologies will evolve from infrequently run strategic planning tools to run-on-demand tools used to assess both strategic and tactical supply chain decisions. 123 Supply Chain Management Customers are increasingly demanding while less loyal. The Internet has facilitated a further shift in power to customers by providing a wealth of buying information that is just a few clicks away. With no desire to compete solely on price, leading-edge companies are using the Internet to strengthen relationships with their clients. They realize the importance of adding value by forming lasting win-win relationships with their customers. Arguably, business is primarily about the bottom line. Shareholders expect to see returns, and they want to see the value of the business improve. They scrutinise revenue growth and profitability, two areas where effective supply chain management can have a significant effect. The growth in technologies like advanced planning and scheduling and collaborative planning is driven by these value improvement objectives. It isn't often a new technology like the Internet comes along and presents such a wonderful opportunity to revolutionise the way we do business. Innovative companies will leverage the power of the Internet and the four Vs to gain competitive advantage and to redefine supply chain excellence. Though many executives struggle to get their arms around these sweeping changes a quote from another time-honoured philosopher, Winston Churchill, seems appropriate: 'There is ' nothing to fear but fear itself. mySAP Supply Chain Management The challenge of the new, New economy Today, supply chains are becoming a key competitive weapon, and that means that they face a mounting array of challenges. They must move with ever-increasing speed; supply customised, individually configured products; promise and deliver with precision and adapt quickly to shifts in demand, customer tastes, and economic conditions. To succeed, you have to find answers to some fundamental supply chain questions: • How can we respond to changes in demand without carrying lots of inventory? • How can we work with suppliers to change plans quickly? 124 CHAPTER 5 • How can we maintain service while squeezing more out of inventory, fixed capital, and transportation assets? • How can we bring new products to market more quickly and support high demand? • How can we shift to Internet-based selling and go direct to the end consumer when our supply chain is focused on full, truck load systems? • How can we drive superior supply chain performance to provide rich selection with fast and dependable delivery to stand out from the competition? • How can we meet demand if our preferred supplier can't deliver? To answer those questions, you need to move beyond the traditional supply chain. Handing information from partner to partner in a sequential, linear fashion just isn't good enough in the new, New Economy. It's too slow, too inaccurate, too costly – and it makes your company vulnerable to competitors that do have responsive supply chains. Instead, you need to create collaborative communities of networked supply chains in which suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and customers share information dynamically up and down the supply chain and work together seamlessly toward a common goal. Building the collaborative supply chain mySAP Supply Chain Management (mySAP SCM) is a powerful, integrated solution that gives you the tools you need to manage your entire supply chain, from design to material sourcing, from demand planning to distribution. With mySAP SCM, you and your partners can capture customer demand and share that information throughout the chain. See a shortage before it occurs and integrate a new supplier to avoid delay. Synchronise planning and execution. In short, you can reach across organisational boundaries to build a truly collaborative supply chain. And that can lead to reduced inventories, increased return on assets, improved quality, and the kind of speed and responsiveness your company needs to thrive. 125 Supply Chain Management Integrated to give you the big picture Unlike piecemeal competitive offerings, mySAP Supply Chain Management is an integrated, holistic solution that helps drive consistency and efficiency throughout the supply chain. And it helps you avoid the extensive up-front integration costs and ongoing maintenance and upgrade expenses typically associated with pieced-together solutions. In addition to a complete range of supply chain functions, mySAP Supply Chain Management provides seamless integration with the other mySAP.com e-business solutions, making it easy to link supply chain information with financial, customer relationship management, business intelligence, and product life-cycle management systems. You can easily take advantage of mySAP Workplace, SAP's role-based enterprise portal, which gives users inside and outside the company the content they need to collaborate. And SAP's mobile solutions that let you tie plant managers, warehouse workers, and sales people into your supply chain. And because mySAP SCM is based on an open, standards-based architecture, it can integrate both SAP and non-SAP solutions – giving you the flexibility and scalability you need to collaborate with partners throughout the supply chain and keep pace with change. Supply chain exchanges: creating collaborative communities Today, supply chain management is beginning to tap into the power of online marketplaces to create supply chain exchanges, or private exchanges, that support collaborative commerce communities. A supply chain exchange uses an e-marketplace infrastructure to link an enterprise and its supply chain partners into a network. Unlike a public e-marketplace or exchange, the supply chain exchange is designed to be owned, operated, and managed by an enterprise, which brings its suppliers, partners, and customers into a managed environment that protects confidential data and guarantees that information is shared among partners. 126 CHAPTER 5 A supply chain exchange can give you and your supply chain partners a way to collaborate on design, procurement, demand and supply management, and a host of other supply chain activities. With an effective collaboration environment in place, you'll see improvements across a range of supply chain activities. Synchronisation of execution and logistical efforts is improved, meaning less downtime for assets. Supply chain partners can work with common forecasts. Planning and optimisation are more efficient. And information-sharing friction is reduced both internally and externally. 127 Supply Chain Management Colgate-Palmolive SAP Customer Success Story 128 CHAPTER 5 SAP Customer Success Story Colgate supports its worldwide brands with mySAP Supply Chain Management Colgate-Palmolive Company does things globally, and it does things right. The company manages all its brands globally, and in November of 1999, it kicked off the Colgate Global Supply Chain initiative to do the same for its supply chain. Colgate wanted to leverage the investment in its core SAP R/3 solution to further enhance supply-chain performance worldwide. The business 'The capabilities of goal: improve service to retail and internal customers, reduce inventory, and improve margins. mySAP SCM are critical Colgate selected mySAP Supply Chain Management (mySAP SCM) to power its supply chain management initiative. Using SAP Advanced Planner and Optimiser (SAP APO), Colgate got to enabling Colgate to the metrics it was looking for. It improved on-time and complete orders from 70%to 98% for take the next logical vendor-managed inventory (VMI) replenishment. It increased compliance levels for intra- company replenishment. And it improved customer order fulfilment to 95%. Colgate also steps in enhancing lowered inventory by 10% and reduced overall order cycle times. global supply-chain mySAP SCM uses the power of the Internet to extend supply-chain technology beyond the enterprise. It provides companies like Colgate and their partners and customers with complete performance.' visibility into business-critical data. This includes instant, real-time access to information about orders, forecasts, production plans, and such key performance indicator as inventory levels and fulfilment rates. This enables companies to improve their competitive position by increasing service quality and reducing their investment in inventory. 'The capabilities of mySAP SCM are critical to enabling Colgate to take the next logical steps in enhancing global supply-chain performance, says Esat Sezer, Colgate's director of global information technology. 'mySAP SCM ' delivers solutions on three key fronts. It enables Colgate to gain visibility into global logistics data. It allows us to optimise our operations through the use of advanced mathematical planning functions. And it provides a platform for collaboration with our customer and partners. By leveraging mySAP SCM, we are truly progressing toward excellence in supply-chain planning across our worldwide operations. ' Case study by SAP 129 Supply Chain Management A consumer products leader Colgate-Palmolive Company is a U.S. $9.4-billion global consumer products powerhouse headquartered in New York. Colgate manufactures and markets a wide variety of products in the United States and around the world, including toothpaste, soaps, laundry detergents, and pet foods. The company operates in more than 200 countries, with approximately 70% of sales coming from international operations. Some 80% of Colgate's employees are located outside the United States. The company built its mySAP SCM initiative on the foundation of the SAP enterprise solution. Colgate began rolling out the SAP core solution in 1995 to improve operations through consistent, global support for financial analysis, logistics planning, and other business processes. The SAP implementation was also an enabler for a standardisation drive across Colgate that encompassed all general naming conventions, formulas, raw materials, manufacturing data and processes, and financial information. These initiatives contributed to large gains in efficiency across Colgate worldwide. For example, in the operations arena, the SAP enterprise solution helped consolidate manufacturing facilities. But consumer packaged goods is a fiercely competitive global marketplace. Although Colgate had achieved significant improvements through its SAP enterprise infrastructure, there was still work to be done. For example, Colgate had improved on-time and complete-order fulfilment rates to around 90% with the implementation of SAP R/3, but it wanted to move these numbers higher with more visibility into demand and capacity constraints. Through SAP, Colgate had also reduced order cycle times from nine days to five days in North America, but these cycle times still represented unacceptably high internal costs. 130 Case study by SAP CHAPTER 5 Focus on the supply chain The Colgate Global Supply Chain initiative was the answer. Within the initiative, Colgate identified three major supply-chain strategies. The first was to roll out a VMI program with key accounts to significantly reduce channel inventory and cycle times. Colgate also wanted to implement a cross-border sourcing programme, moving it from a regional to a global sourcing model. This transition would improve forecasts, reduce safety stock, consolidate assets, and leverage economies of scale worldwide. Finally, Colgate wanted to implement collaborative planning processes with its downstream subsidiaries to manage promotional demand and to synchronise activities across the supply chain. Within Colgate, VMI is a pull process by which the company replenishes customer distribution centres based on a daily transmission of inventory and demand information. The current VMI focus is North America, where 40% of cases shipped from five plants is managed using VMI. The implementation includes 40 distribution centres at 12 customers covering all categories of Colgate products (about 1,000 SKUs). Because mySAP SCM enables Colgate to more precisely match supply and demand, the result is lower finished-goods inventories, higher rates for on-time and complete orders, and reduced replenishment cycle times. The VMI business process is supported by mySAP SCM's supply network planning capabilities. Daily inventory levels and demand from customer distribution centre are transmitted to mySAP SCM, which then calculates the replenishment orders. mySAP SCM incorporates plant capacity information to determine the production requirements and any supply constraints. The replen- ishment orders are then transmitted back to the customers via EDI for acknowledgement and for handling customer information-processing requirements. The benefits Colgate has realised through VMI – including 98% on-time and complete-order compliance and a one-day replenishment order cycle – will be multiplied as the implementation expands across North America and other geographic regions. Case study by SAP 131 Supply Chain Management Truly global sourcing Colgate's Cross-Border Sourcing (CBS) initiative incorporates demand and global sourcing information to create a pull process and move from monthly forecasting to weekly replenishment. Colgate got results quickly: an increase in shipments, higher case fill rates, a reduction in replenishment-order cycle times, and an 8% inventory reduction. In the new business model, supply plants assume responsibility for replenishing the Colgate distribution centres. (Previously, Colgate sales subsidiaries developed monthly, often inaccurate demand forecasts to determine the replenishment requirements from offshore manufacturing sites.) The new weekly replenishment is driven by visibility into customer orders flowing through in-country Colgate distribution centre and then to the supplying plants. Replenishment requirements are also calculated from demand information provided by Colgate sales subsidiaries, such as increased demand from promotions. The CBS business process is also supported by mySAP SCM, which calculates replenishment orders based on daily demand signals and inventory levels. This matches demand and supply more exactly, and coupled with specific order pegging, reduces the impact of forecast inaccuracies. The result is lower finished-goods inventory levels, reduced replenishment cycle times, and greater rates of on-time and complete orders for both internal replenishment and customer orders. Colgate has also improved case fill rates and asset utilisation by using finite- capacity replenishment planning techniques. The more flexible, more responsive replenishment system has resulted in more frequent shipments to the distribution centres, but there has been no significant impact on transportation costs because of better overall planning. 132 Case study by SAP CHAPTER 5 Demand planning Colgate U.S. uses mySAP.com's demand planning capabilities and the mySAP SCM collaborative engine to provide a tool for communicating demand information to supplier and synchronising planning across the supply-chain network. mySAP SCM statistically computes the base demand to drive repeatable replenishment processes and incorporates changes resulting from promotions. Promotional demand management – independent of base demand – represents crucial information for driving manufacturing, product finishing, and distribution. The collaboration engine supports the collaborative process for promotional demand by enabling the exchange of up-to-date planning information, exception-based management, and tracking of performance measures like forecast accuracy. Realising benefits The three major components of Colgate's supply-chain strategies are supported by mySAP.com's real-time integration model, where changes in stock, sales orders, and other relevant parameters are updated in real time between customer and internal ERP systems and mySAP SCM. This ensures that modifications to the plan can be enacted rapidly, which is especially important for planning promotions. Colgate expects to multiply the impact of the current implementations significantly as its VMI, CBS, and collaborative engine implementations are rolled out to all brands and plants. Improved visibility throughout the supply chain means accurate, up-to-date, consistent data will be available to support management decisions concerning tactical and strategic plans. Colgate will also use mySAP Business Intelligence (mySAP BI) for quick access to even more consolidated and finer-grained information to support decision making throughout its organisation. Through its supply-chain initiative, Colgate is now better positioned to contend with the forces driving the consumer products industry today, including price competition, expanding global trade, and the use of promotional campaigns. These business drivers are motivating Colgate to pursue continued cost reductions through all aspects of its business and to leverage collaborative tools that improve links with its global customers. Colgate is also working to leverage e-business tools that strengthen both internal integration as well as links with partners and customers. Case study by SAP 133 Supply Chain Management Continuous improvement Even with its successes to date, Colgate continues to pursue supply-chain improvements that will enhance its competitive position. In addition to extending the use of VMI, CBS, and the collaborative engine globally, Colgate is working with SAP to develop repetitive manufacturing functionality in mySAP SCM's production planning and detailed scheduling capabilities. This will enable repeated production runs using a single bill of material (BOM), back flushed material requirements, production alterations arising from short-term changes in demand, and the ability to distinguish making versus finishing as separable manufacturing processes in Colgate's promotion-driven environment. Colgate is also supporting development of a mySAP SCM -related wave algorithm to optimise repetitive manufacturing amid potential sudden peaks and valleys in requirements and finite-capacity constraints. Because supply requirements vary in a promotions-driven environment, third-party manufacturing contractors are becoming increasingly important to Colgate's business. Colgate expects to leverage mySAP SCM-enabled collaborative planning link with these contractor as well. Colgate is also planning to use mySAP SCM's transportation planning and scheduling capabilities to optimise its transportation network and to realise additional cost savings. Colgate will also pursue various forms of collaboration with customers and partners by participating in consumer goods industry marketplaces that provide exchanges for collaborative demand, procurement, and logistics planning. While moving quickly to achieve these and other goals, Colgate has already realised its many objectives through mySAP Supply Chain Management: supply-chain visibility, increased planning-cycle speeds, efficient asset utilisation through global sourcing, reduced costs, and better customer service. 134 Case study by SAP CHAPTER 5 Business in brief Colgate is continually improving its operations to maintain and extend its leadership position in worldwide consumer packaged goods. Focusing on the supply chain, Colgate wanted to upgrade performance by replacing a regional sourcing model with a fully globalised supply chain to improve service to retail and internal customers and to reduce inventory and total delivered costs. Solution differentiators Colgate chose mySAP Supply Chain Management for its tight integration with the core SAP enterprise solution. The SAP Advanced Planner and Optimiser (SAP APO) element of mySAP Supply Chain Management also provided functions that open a window onto global logistics information; advanced mathematical planning functions to optimise worldwide operations; and a global platform for customer and partner collaboration. Case study by SAP 135 Supply Chain Management Microsoft SAP Customer Success Story 136 CHAPTER 5 SAP Customer Success Story Microsoft APO implementation Project objectives Microsoft has identified Supply Chain Optimisation as a strategic initiative for their global business operations. More specifically, their objective is: 'To deliver a forecasting and planning system infrastructure that supports business processes that enable Microsoft to achieve a competitive advantage in costs and responsiveness.' The company selected SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimisation) as their global Supply Chain optimisation provider. APO 2.0 was chosen for a combination of reasons including functionality, integration, and strategic direction. Microsoft selected Deloitte Consulting and SAP to assist in the implementation of the first wave of transformation. This focused on optimisation of business processes, replacing their legacy planning software for Worldwide Hardware and the North America Software businesses and integration with back-end R/3. Project scope Microsoft set target implementation dates of April 2001 for worldwide hardware and May 2001 for the North America software businesses. This allowed just nine months to pilot the project, set functional and technical definitions and implement Demand Planning, Supply Network Planning and the Core Interface Modules. Deloitte Consulting's personnel were able to efficiently integrate with Microsoft employees at all levels across the geographies. The 20 Microsoft employees who made up over the majority of the core team ensured global buy-in, provided local business process input and ensured solid capability transfer. Case study by Deloitte Consulting 137 Supply Chain Management Approach Demand Planning is used for forecasting and collaboration. It allows users to generate a statistical forecast and potentially override it before it is released to Supply Network Planning. Product, distribution centre, and customer define the planning hierarchy. Key functionality includes aggregation, disaggregation, modeling, and univariate forecasting. Supply Network Planning utilises the optimiser to build and plan loads. Business processes includes flexible capacity limits, discrete optimisation, with time decomposition. Core Interfaces include integration of APO R/3. Purchase requisitions which are transferred in batch mode on a weekly basis. Sales orders and purchase orders are integrated in 'real-time'. The APO production system runs on 5 servers (Compaq): 1 DB server, 2 Application Servers, 1 Optimiser Server and 1 Live Cache Server. The Live Cache server runs on Windows NT 4.0 Advanced Server, all 4 other server run on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The RDBMS used is Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. Business benefits The implementation resulted in forecasting and reporting enhancements as well as system business process compression. It also achieved strategic capacity management; build optimisation and optimised load planning. The solution is providing Microsoft with a real time understanding of their value chain metrics across the enterprise enabling them to plan, commit, produce, and fulfil with an increased degree of certainty. Some of the benefits include demand collaboration, optimisation of resources and costs, modelling capability, component modelling, integration with R/3, archival of supply chain performance, and increased reporting capability. Microsoft is planning an upgrade to SAP APO 3.0 in the near future. 138 Case study by Deloitte Consulting Supply Chain Management HP SAP Customer Success Story 140 CHAPTER 5 SAP Customer Success Story A promising forecast for HP's consumer and commercial business in Europe Printers and their supplies are among HP's most successful products, with millions of units shipped each month. For business of this size, good forecasting tools are essential. HP Imaging and Printing Systems (IPS-Commercial/CBO-Supplies) has implemented a completely new forecasting system following recent HP reorganisation, which involved the devolution of planning responsibilities to the regions. HP IPS-Commercial/CBO-Supplies has Europe-wide responsibility for distributing HP printers and printer supplies. Having chosen SAP Advanced Planner and Optimiser (APO) for its functionality and best-in-class forecasting techniques, HP IPS-Commercial/CBO-Supplies worked with HP Consulting and SAP to implement the system. To make this project and the later use of the new process successful, the project team consisted of business representatives and future users out of the departments that would be mostly significantly affected: Marketing and Distribution. 'In the past, our centrally driven supplies forecasting system was based on assumptions that applied to the US but not necessarily to Europe, explained Isabell Härle, project leader for the ' implementation within CBO-Supplies. 'Our quarterly forecasts were not accurate enough, so demand often outstripped supply. ' Consistent decision-making It needed a tool that would produce monthly forecast and support a cross-functional collaborative forecasting and decision-making process. In the past, different functions (e.g. Sales/Marketing/Distribution) had used different forecasting systems and processes, leading to non-connected business decisions and several forecast versions for the same business. Therefore the availability of all planning-related data in a single system is key to improved accuracy and ensures effective collaboration internally. Case study by HP 141 Supply Chain Management 'With such a large business, an improvement of even a few percentage points in forecasting accuracy represents a great deal of money because supply is more closely matched to demand. APO has rapidly become business-critical, and we expect it to be adopted by other regions and HP businesses in the near future. Isabell Härle, supplies project leader, HP Supplies Distribution Europe. ' Hitting the target HP IPS-Commercial/CBO-Supplies has to supply customers with the products they want, when they want them. Product availability as well as customer satisfaction are the main drivers in the market HP IPS-Commercial/CBO-Supplies is doing business. Therefore improved forecast accuracy is also a major benefit of implementing this system. 'More accurate forecasts mean improved product availability for the customer, commented ' commercial project leader Bernhard Kühne. 'We expect to improve customer loyalty and boost ' our market share. 'More accurate After the implementation, forecast accuracy improved by 2 to 5% and will do even further after forecasts mean getting used to new processes and systems. Other benefits include a reduction in inventory. Also, automated forecasting with SAP APO is faster and less susceptible to human error. improved product Forecasting cycle time has been cut by three days. Taken together, these improvements lead availability for the not only to improved customer service but also to substantial financial savings. customer' 'With such large business, an improvement of even a few percentage points in forecasting accuracy represents a great deal of money because supply is more closely matched to demand. APO has rapidly become business-critical, and we expect it to be adopted by other regions and HP businesses in the near future, said Härle. ' The wealth of knowledge and experience gained by HP during this major project is now being leveraged by HP Consulting, which is currently engaged in several customer implementations of APO. 142 Case study by HP CHAPTER 5 HOW WILL YOUR ORGANISATION BENEFIT FROM mySAP SCM?

Thanks for the comment on my blog. I am glad that you are taking the plunge. Abeka has a lot of good points. The more research I have done on learning styles, the more curriculums I have researched have made me decide that it is no longer for us. Over the two years that I have homeschooled, my attitudes and beliefs have really evolved. It has been interesting to see it in myself.
I don't get to talk to a lot of actual grown-ups during the day, so your comments make me really happy! :)

Yes, yes. That doesn't answer my question. Why is linear size the important metric there and not angular size? For the specific examples of TV and jumbotron, angular size seems like a much more desirable measure than physical size. A viewer doesn't care that the jumbotron is 100x bigger if it's also 100x further away. -BorisReceived on Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:58:19 UTC

Words of Wisdom from Former Congressman Artur Davis
Details of his talk at Vanderbilt University, here.
Details of his talk at Vanderbilt University, here.
(Many inspired by the Limbaugh-Fluke-Maher controversy):
No Labels' "Citizen Leader Calls" offer some great examples of constructive, civil, honest discourse on many of the pressing issues of the day.
One of the reasons I believe incivility, dishonesty and superficiality in political discourse is more consequential today than in past eras is that, with the greater complexity of today's world and its challenges, our inability to engage with one another in constructive ways is more costly. In this article, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates also laments the state of our politics in the face of complex challenges.
A roundup of recent examples of civil, honest, genuine discourse on the issues of the day:
A constructive discussion on immigration, from Living Room Conversations.
The Bipartisan Policy Center hosts a discussion on the presidential primary system.
Several commentaries on hate crimes legislation, at Room for Debate.
The latest from the Bob Beckel – Cal Thomas collaboration at USA Today.
Improved public discourse through food, drink and fun.
Here's one pundit that hopes this idea takes off.
He had a panel on Meet the Press last Sunday that addressed the issue of our increasing lack of civility in politics. A great discussion ensued among panelists E.J. Dionne, Peggy Noonan, Al Sharpton and Rep. Marsha Blackburn.
