The Blue-crowned Parakeet has a large range of up to 2,300,000 square kilometers. It can primarily be found in the South American countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In North America, it also occurs as an introduced species. This bird prefers terrestrial ecosystems with habitation ranging from forests to savannas and shrublands. The current global population is not known but it is not thought to be near the population decline criteria for the IUCN Red List. The current evaluation level of the Blue-crowned Parakeet is Least Concern.
Blue-crowned Parakeet: Medium-sized green parakeet with a blue head and red-orange highlights in long tail. White, feathless eye ring. The bill is bicolored with upper mandible pinkish and lower mandible is black (subspecies in northeastern Brazil has an all-pink bill). The legs and feet are pink.
Range and Habitat
Blue-crowned Parakeet: In its native range occurs in several disjunct populations in South America, one in the north of Columbia and Venezuela, another in eastern Brazil, and another from Bolivia through Argentina. Small numbers of escaped captive birds are now established in Los Angeles, California and Florida. Uses dry open forests and grasslands, and semi-desert habitats.

The Blue-crowned Parakeet is also known as the Blue-crowned Conure and Sharp-tailed Conure.
The most famous fictional blue-crowned parakeet is the title character in the movie Paulie. The movie used 14 birds to play the role of the talking parrot and caused a surge in their popularity as pets.
This species has been heavily traded: since 1981, 193,299 wild-caught individuals have been recorded in international trade.
A group of parakeets is collectively known as a "chatter" and a "flock" of parakeets.

FAMILY DESCRIPTION
Lories, Parakeets, Macaws and Parrots (Psittacidae)
The taxonomic order PSITTACIFORMES (pronounced sit-uh-suh-FORM-eez) is composed of three families; the cockatoos, New Zealand parrots such as the Kea, and parakeets and parrots.
FAMILY TAXONOMY
The Psittacidae (pronounced sit-UH-suh-dee), a family of nearly worldwide occurrence, includes three hundred and forty-eight species of parrots and parakeets in seventy-seven genera.
Fifty-four species of parrots and parakeets in fifteen genera have been recorded in North America (including two extinct species, the Carolina Parakeet and Cuban Macaw).
Lories, parakeets, macaws and parrots are known for their distinctive bill shape, intelligence, and popularity as pets. The Yellow-headed Parrot is especially popular in this regard as it readily learns to repeat human speech. Unfortunately, this trait has made it such a popular cage bird that wild populations have become highly endangered because of capture for the pet trade.
Lories, parakeets, macaws and parrots are medium to large in size while parakeets are generally smaller. Although all share a short, sharply decurved bills, and have fairly short legs with strong "zygodactyl" toes (two facing forward and two facing backward), the overall shape of these birds differs considerably among groups. For example, the macaws and parakeets sport long, pointed tails and wings, while most of the parrots have square-shaped, short or medium length tails and fairly broad wings.
Lories, parakeets, macaws and parrots are colorful birds with predominately green plumage. Red and yellow patches are often found on the heads, wings, and tails, while some species also have blue or gray coloration.
GEOGRAPHIC HABITAT
In the United States and Canada, most members of this family occur as populations that escaped from captivity. Most of these persist in cities with mild climates and fruiting plants (many of which are also introduced species) that provide them with food. Wild parrots and parakeets from Mexico may be found in populations of Red-crowned and Green Parakeets in southern Texas, and occasional vagrant Thick-billed Parrots in the pine forests of southern Arizona and New Mexico.
In North America, lories, parakeets, macaws and parrots are non-migratory.
Lories, parakeets, macaws and parrots are highly social birds typically occurring in flocks. They form strong pair bonds with individual pairs often discernible even when associating with other birds. Members of this family use their strong bills to crack open seeds and feed on fruits. When searching for fruiting and seeding trees, parrots and parakeets fly high overhead, giving frequent screeching vocalizations. Upon flying into a tree, though, they go quiet and seem to "disappear" as their green plumage blends in with the foliage.
Several members of this family are endangered in various parts of the world due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade. The Red-crowned Parrot falls into this category; although not threatened in Texas, it is highly endangered in Mexico.
The only two naturally occurring members of this family found north of Mexico were the Carolina Parakeet and the Thick-billed Parrot. Despite an astonishingly large population, the parakeet went extinct due to over-hunting and the parrot was extirpated in North America in the early twentieth century because of both hunting and habitat loss. Despite reintroduction efforts, the Thick-billed Parrot hasn't been able to reestablish itself in Arizona, and Mexican populations of this species remain threatened by habitat loss.

This is a guest post from Kathryn Vercillo, author of Crochet Saved My Life and blogger at Crochet Concupiscence. She's running a crochet health survey right now and wants you to know why it would be great if you could take a moment to participate.
Crochet saved my life. Literally. In my late twenties I was stuck in a downward spiral of chronic depression and had a really difficult time pulling myself out. It was during that time that I discovered crochet, a craft that could soothe my mind, reduce my anxiety, rebuild my self-esteem and bring joy back into my life. I began to crochet daily, and I began to heal. Later, I started to share my story on my blog and the comments I received made it obvious that there were many other people also healing from crochet. That's when I started the research for my book, Crochet Saved My Life, because I wanted to find out just how this craft was helping people. The new survey that I've created is a continuation of that research, taking it further, and I'm hoping that you'll participate.
1. Learn more about how crochet has helped you. By taking a few moments to answer the questions in this survey, you just might gain fresh insight into how the craft is helping you. It's a great feeling to realize that they hobby you love is really a vital part of your life.
2. Help others understand the health benefits of crochet. As the word spreads, more and more people are picking up crochet hooks to help themselves. When you share your information, it helps others realize how the craft can help them.
3. Increase credibility for the craft as a form of therapy. This is an intensive, serious study that will be promoted to institutions, doctors and other researchers to help get support for crochet in a variety of healing settings.
4. Support an indie author. I do all of my own writing, research and publishing. I can't do it without the contributions of people who are willing to share their stories and information. The more I learn about how crochet helps other, the more I can share that information.
5. Celebrate crochet! Above and beyond anything else, this survey celebrates the craft of crochet. It looks at what it can do to help people, not only with health issues but with improving general quality of life.
Thanks so much for sharing my guest post. Your support means so much!

We frequently hear about community forestry, but how does it really work, and what are its advantages for the populations? This month, Carmel Kifukieto, programme officer at the Centre d'Appui à la Gestion Durable des Forêts Tropicales (CAGDFT), one of the organisations we support in the Democratic Republic of Congo, tells us about the different aspects of this practice.
Community forestry is a set of practices, techniques and methods to manage the forest and its natural resources. It is regulated by a specific legal framework that organizes local communities' participation. This is illustrated by this sentence: «a local community can, on its request, obtain as a forest concession, a part or all of the protected forests among the forests owned under custom». Community forestry is thus making local communities or indigenous peoples responsible for managing the forest and its resources (non-timber forest products, animal biodiversity, ecotourism, lumber…). In the longer term, it is a historic restitution of property rights to local communities or indigenous peoples.
The final aim of community forestry is the reduction of poverty in rural areas. When making the most of available resources, communities can generate income to fund development projects, such as the construction of schools or health facilities. Furthermore, community forestry can enhance social cohesion through the use of a participatory approach, used when mapping forest concessions, and this way solve land conflicts between neighbouring communities.
How do communities benefit from community forestry?
Local communities or indigenous peoples can secure their customary land by obtaining a permanent Forest Concession for Local Communities; this way, they can manage it collectively in order to guarantee their rights and to protect their means of subsistence (food, medicine, building materials…) Moreover, when using and valuing natural resources available in these spaces, communities can increase their income for a sustainable development.
How far are we in the community forestry process in the DRC?
Since the legal framework is now complete, the process has reached the implementation phase. The law regulates the purchasing procedure for forest concessions, their exploitation and their management. Currently, requests for concessions by neighbouring communities are being assessed. The first concessions have been attributed in different provinces; we are yet to see how they will evolve in the framework of orientations established by the law (poverty reduction, sustainable management of resources).
What is CAGDFT's role in this process?
The Centre d'Appui à la gestion durable des forêts tropicales (CAGDFT) is a Congolese non-governmental organisation working in the environmental field. CAGDFT unceasingly works in favour of a forest management that guarantees the rights of local communities. We have a great expertise in the field of community forestry as our executive director, Théophile Gata, is one of the pioneers of this practice in the DRC.
We are one of three civil society organisations who are members of a consortium created to implement community forestry in the DRC. Our role is to build capacities of the different stakeholders supporting local communities to obtain, manage and exploit forest concessions. A multi-stakeholders concertation framework also allows achieving a consensus for any question arising, such as the use of a forest concession where land is bordering a protected area.
What are the results of CAGDFT's actions in the community forestry process so far?
To this day, CAGDFT organised four panel discussions with stakeholders from the civil society, technical and financial partners, donors, representatives of local communities, traditional leaders, research institutes and administrations, in order to ease dialogue and harmonise perceptions of community forestry. We also organized six information meetings for political and administrative authorities in five provinces (North Kivu, Equateur, Tshopo, Tsuapa, Mai-Ndombe and Ituri), aimed at better defining roles and responsibilities in the implementation of forestry community. Finally, CAGDFT is very proud to have supported the DRC government in equipping itself with a national strategy on community forestry, which was validated on 10th and 11th August 2017, putting behind them the differences in points of view between administration and civil society.
How has the collaboration between CAGDFT and Well Grounded contributed to these results?
Well Grounded is a partner organisation that is very important to CAGDFT; it has been supporting us since 2016 to help us play a key role in the implementation of a national strategy on community forestry. Well Grounded supports CAGDFT for its restructuration through its institutional development policy, which helped us develop our vision, clarify our objectives and formulate an action plan. This continuously reinforces the capacities of the CAGDFT staff, so that we can continue to act effectively in favour of indigenous peoples and local communities in the DRC.
CAGDFT is one of three CSOs in the DRC (others include GASHE and RRN) working with international partners InCap, Well Grounded and Rainforest UK to implement the community forestry project in the DRC with financial support from DFID.
Holder of a doctorate in agronomy and a MSc in natural resources management, Carmel has been working as a programme officer at the Centre d'Appui à la Gestion Durable des Forêts Tropicales (CAGDFT) since 2012. As a field player committed in promoting the sustainable use of forests and other natural resources, he is one of the young pioneers working for local communities and indigenous peoples in the DRC. As a researcher, he mostly works on questions of forest governance and the defence of local communities and indigenous communities' rights.

MBAPPÉ YET TO SIGN NEW DEAL BUT TO REMAIN AT PSG
August 21, 2021 UncategorizedKylian Mbappéindex
Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé is a center of huge attention at the moment and the reports making the rounds are that the final episode of the saga currently surrounding his future is that he will leave the French giants.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwJpt_-XIAc2Ga2.jpg
The former AS Monaco forward is said to be keen to join Real Madrid and that explains why he is still refusing to sign a new contract extension at the Parc des Princes even though they have offered him a new contract more than two times. The French Ligue 1 giants were keen to tie down Mbappé and strike partner Neymar to new contracts but while Neymar has committed his future to the club, Mbappé is still proving to be a hard nut to crack.

NEW YORK—While dieters are accustomed to exercises of will, a new English translation of Germany's most popular diet book takes the concept to a new philosophical level. The Nietzschean diet, which commands its adherents to eat superhuman amounts of whatever they most fear, is developing a strong following in America.
Fat Is Dead, proclaims the ambitious title of the dense, aphoristic nutrition plan, which was written by Friedrich Nietzsche in the late 1880s and unearthed three years ago. After reaching bestseller lists in Europe, the book was translated into English by R.J. Hollingdale and published by Avon last month.
First formulated by Nietzsche, who felt lassitude and weltschmerz overcome him after a steady diet of Schopenhauer, the diet retains elements of that philosopher's "The Fruit Bowl As Will And Representation," but adds a persuasive personal challenge.
Fat Is Dead is selling briskly, as are the accompanying recipe pamphlets Beyond Food And Evil; Human, All Too Fat A Human; and Swiss Steak Zarathustra. Dieters report that they are reveling in the powerful Nietzschean weight-loss message of self-realization, transcendence, and the personal freedom to eat certain foods which are not allowed on the Atkins and South Beach diets.
Many Nietzschean dieters are reporting success, although some complain of side effects.
Above: A new product inspired by the Nietzchean diet.
Kansas City's John Mencken started the diet in January. He lost 35 pounds, eight inches from his waistline, and many of his slave moralities. He also lost the love of his life, Marissa Hapsgood, who walked out on Mencken after discovering his involvement in a romantic triangle with a poet and a sculptress.
The Nietzschean diet has its critics. Detractors say the diet's actual nutritional requirements are vague, that it provides no concrete plan for progression toward weight-loss targets, and that the book consists mostly of unclear and unusually harsh sets of inspirational logical lacunae.
Stearns said it was worth noting that Nietzsche died depressed, delirious, and overweight in Zurich after 10 years of near-catatonia.

SKU and Description which map to SureDone's GUID and Title.
In order to import your entire inventory, it has to be scheduled out so it does not "timeout" or stop importing due to processing a lot of data. Therefore, you have to Schedule the Product Import. After turning this to ON, click Save Settings otherwise the import will not start. It may still take up to 30 minutes to begin importing your products.
If you have already imported your inventory from another channel (eBay, Amazon, etc) and do not have matching SKUs in SkuVault to the inventory that was matched, you will duplicate your inventory because they do not have the same SKUs to match.

Love and Equality Win!
by admin | posted in: marriage, MCC News | 0
"Love and Equality Win!" Exclaims Moderator of
Historic Global Metropolitan Community Churches!
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson is the moderator of the Metropolitan Community Churches, which has ministries around the world. Dr. Wilson was part of the first LGBT faith delegation to meet with a sitting president in 1979.She was a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
"Today, love and equality win! The Supreme Court concluded that all loving couples deserve the right to marry! Finally, the U.S. Constitution applies to every family," said the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, global Moderator of Metropolitan Community Churches. "More children in America can now go to school proudly and know their families are protected by the highest court of the land. I am thrilled but we cannot rest until all people, regardless of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation are free to live without fear."
"O happy day! LGBTQ couples in the United States have the right to marry! MCC was the first to marry same-sex couples in1968. In 1970 we brought the first lawsuit for marriage equality," said the Rev. Troy Perry, founder of Metropolitan Community Churches. "Metropolitan Community Churches demonstrated for marriage licenses every Valentine's Day. We married couples at Pride marches. We performed thousands of marriages in our churches, and we never gave up!"
"We are thrilled with the Court's decision for marriage equality. Today, we redouble our efforts to let the world know that discrimination is wrong-not just in marriage, but in employment and every walk of life," said Rev. Dr. Jim Merritt, Director for Marriage Equality for MCC's Public Policy Team.
"We are celebrating-and getting back to work," said the Rev. Pat Bumgardner, Executive Director of the Global Justice Institute. "LGBTQ people in Kenya, Eastern Europe, and 76 countries live in fear for their lives. After almost 50 years, MCC is still on the cutting edge of ministry. Known as 'The Human Rights Church' in many countries, MCC knows the next chapter will be Global. LGBTQ people in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America deserve to live in peace."
"While marriage equality is a significant stride toward justice, injustice remains for too many people. We have learned the painful lesson that unless we stand up for each other, some people will never experience justice. Black lives matter, Trans lives matter, Immigrant lives matter-and the list goes on! We are not finished with our work for justice until all lives matter," said the Rev. Darlene Garner, Director of Emerging Ministries with responsibility for diversity and inclusion.

Book Review – The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
February 3, 2017 February 3, 2017 B. Zelkovich5 Comments
For once, I can barely hear the clack of the keyboard as I write this. Instead, my office is overwhelmed by the jilted crash of my $30 printer doing its damnedest to give me a refined physical copy of The Steel Armada.
It's mostly working. It can only print about 20 pages at a time, so I have to keep stopping to refill the paper, and the contraption is housed in a less than convenient place, so I have to get out of my seat, grab a sheaf of papers, and then kneel under my desk to actually feed the beast.
But, having a physical representation of all the hard work that went into making draft #2 look as good as it does feels amazing. Now that it's sitting here, all pristine and shiny, I almost feel bad about tearing to pieces over the next few months.
But, we're here to discuss The Last Unicorn.
This was the f irst book of Book Club session #3. We were all pretty excited for it, and it was a quick read. I was thankful for that because I cut it pretty close trying to read a million other things. But, it only took about two days to read Beagle's fantasy classic. Only myself and one other person showed, the rest being ill. So it was a quick meeting too!
I would say that this story is a modern fairy tale. It doesn't follow any of the writing conventions I've been taught, which made it a little difficult to read. Sentence structures are often awkward, and character perspective shifts all over the place. These are things that would be a death sentence for a book seeking publication today, but Beagle's novel managed to get away with.
Probably by the virtue of its romantic whimsy.
Like most fairy tales I've read, there are a lot of consistent themes in this book, and when they raise their head they take the form of lines so startling in their beauty and truth that they stand out from the rest of the clunky prose.
The Last Unicorn is a book about beauty, love, and time. The Unicorn, for she has no other name, is a creature whose beauty is unmatched, and her immortality leaves her immune to love and time. She wants nothing, needs nothing, and likes it that way.
But, when she hears two hunters say that all the unicorns have vanished from the world, she is driven to leave her secluded wood to seek them out. An unwilling adventurer, the Unicorn soon realizes that men cannot see her true form, because they no longer believe that unicorns even exist.

But, not everyone is so convinced, especially not those who have any hint of magic in them. Schmendrick is one such man. A magician of the bumbling variety, he is plagued with doubt and ineptitude to the point that his rescue of the Unicorn from an evil circus owner turns into the Unicorn rescuing him from a furious Harpy.
He's also my favorite character.
Ever hopeful and bumbling, Schmendrick accompanies the Unicorn on her quest, and they soon meet up with Molly Grue who is a bitter and cynical woman who lived with a would-be Robin Hood. But, the glory days of their robberies were far behind them, if there ever were such days, and upon seeing the Unicorn Molly Grue leaves the band of thieves behind.
King Haggard's Castle, artwork by Mel Grant
And so the story goes on, and it follows a very fairy tale formula, while at once mocking the fairy tale formula. I think that tongue and cheek element also redeems the story from its choppy delivery.
In order to save the Unicorn from certain death, Schmendrick turns her (quite accidentally) into a startlingly gorgeous human woman. The three of them then visit the castle and gain employment with the bitter and cursed King Haggard. Ah, but the cursed king has a noble son, Prince Lír, who promptly falls in love with the Unicorn, now known as Lady Amalthea. And the longer she's human the less she remembers of herself and the more she falls for the Prince.
But, in the end, Molly Grue and Schmendrick figure out how to release the unicorns, and help Amalthea return to her true form. But, her love for Lír has changed her forever. She tells Schmendrick that some small part of her will always be mortal, will always long for something, though she wants nothing, and that time suddenly matters to her, though she is immortal again.
Molly Grue meets Schmendrick, artwork by Mel Grant
And that's all sad and whatnot. But what I think was the more powerful element in the story is the love that blossoms between Schmendrick and Molly Grue. They started out as bitter opponents, literally keeping to their own sides of the Unicorn, and by the end they were an unspoken team. After the Unicorn leaves their presence, Schemndrick watches Molly laugh and shake her head until her hair fell loose around her shoulders, "and she was more beautiful than the Lady Amalthea".
They came together naturally, and their normalcy is only enhanced by the presence of the Unicorn. Her undeniable otherness shows just how beautiful normal love can be. Another line that struck me was when Schmendrick lifted he and Molly Grue up the cliff face. "The magic lifted her as if she were a note of music and it were singing her." It's such a delicate and pretty line, made all the more meaningful because it's Schmendrick's newfound magic it refers to.
I should add that I've never seen the film, though I hear it's currently on Netflix. I'll have to add it to the queue. And, I'll have to add this book to my shelf. It deserves a place with my other favorite fairy tales, Howl's Moving Castle and Stardust.
I really wish I'd seen the movie and read the book as a child. I think it would have been more powerful and influencing to me then. Now, as an adult, I read everything a little too critically to fully appreciate the magic in it. At least, I feel that way sometimes. The clunky passages wouldn't have mattered to 12 year old me; I probably wouldn't even have noticed. But 27 year old me got stuck on each one.
But, 12 year old me would have had a completely unhealthy crush on Schmendrick, so at least I avoided that. Who am I kidding? I loved the guy! I just get to move on a bit quicker. On to Jackaby!
Anyway, this is mandatory reading for fantasy fans. It's an essential of the genre, that knows its tropes and uses them purposefully to show how silly they are. It's clever, and poignant, and fun to read.
Now, I just have to watch the movie!

Support peter beagle says:
Look up the plight of the author Peter Beagle. He was quite badly conned by a predatorial manager who said he was doing a lot of business to support Peter and get his rights back from previous bad deals. A lot of fans believed it and paid for a movie tour. He stole all that money and Peter has been suing the former manager since 2015 for fraud and elder abuse.
iemergedinlondonrain says:
That's very unfortunate to hear. I wish him luck with his endeavors.

[…] Also done, and you can read the review here. […]
painterwrite says:
Like many girls, I was obsessed with unicorns as a kid and saw the movie about 1000 times (give or take a 100). When I discovered the book as a pre-teen, I immediately attached myself to it and have probably read it at least once every few years. It's just a lovely story. That's terrible to hear about the author, though.
I wish I'd been exposed to either the film or book as a child, because it's the perfect story to help shape an imagination and would cling to you through adulthood. But I'll settle for meeting the Unicorn now, just like Molly Grue.

RUSSELL Crowe is shooting a Ned Kelly movie in Victoria right now with some huge international stars. And boy, his beard is quite impressive.
RUSSELL Crowe's new facial hair is un-beard-lievable!
The New Zealand-born actor, 54, has been snapped for the first time on the set of his upcoming movie, True History Of The Kelly Gang.
Based on the 2000 novel by Peter Carey about Ned Kelly and his gang fleeing from authorities during the 1870s, Crowe will appear alongside Mad Max: Fury Road star Nicholas Hoult, Game of Thrones star Essie Davis, Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam and Love My Way's Claudia Karvan.
It's believed that Crowe is playing Harry Power, an Irish convict who was sent to Australia in 1842 where he went on to become a prolific bushranger.
He claimed to have pulled off over 600 robberies in Australia and took on Ned Kelly as an apprentice.
Kelly will be played in the movie by British actor George MacKay, 26, who has been seen in Captain Fantastic, Pride and Peter Pan.
The movie, which is currently being filmed in Victoria, is being directed by Justin Kurzel who is best known for Snowtown, Macbeth and Assassin's Creed.
"Peter Carey's book True History Of The Kelly Gang always felt like the true spirit of Ned Kelly," the Aussie director said in a statement about the movie.

Toyota Jumps On The Material Handling Bandwagon
By Art van Bodegraven | 02/28/2018 | 7:28 AM
Please enjoy the thoughts and musings of our friend, supporter, and long-time contributor Art van Bodegraven Jr., who passed away on June 18, 2017. Art was a prolific writer and had amassed a collection of unpublished blog posts he had planned to run well into the future. To honor his memory, we will continue to post these remaining blogs as he had intended. If you've been a fan of The Art of Art blog, check out our tribute.
In hot industry news, the renowned Dutch material handling company, Vanderlande, was acquired by Toyota. Vanderlande, a billion dollar corporation, is over 65 years old, and its material handling offerings include software.
Toyota picked up Bastian a couple of months ago. Its systems integrator role included a position as Toyota's largest forklift provider. Its goal is to be - not become, but be - the world's largest material handling provider.
Global visions predominate. While traditional providers promote forklifts, Honeywell has acquired Intelligrated, and KION Group claimed Dematic.
There is an over-riding thematic vision, though. As a handful of enterprises stake a claim in a new world, brick-and-mortar players are determined to out-Amazon Amazon, with digitalization and omni-channel dreams, with returns and shipping costs eating into Jeff Bezos' universe. And a select few global players are in the game . . .
Good luck with that, wanna-be's

Supply Chain Complexity And The Art Of Survival
By Art van Bodegraven | 02/25/2018 | 12:55 PM
Turning for a moment to Gentleman Jack, consider how butt-ugly supply chains are. The complexities involved are in global reach, and must account for world events.
What we have to deal with, at macro and micro-levels, are: accomodating insane customers and demands; globalized operations and relationships; supplier intricacies relative to the business; and cosmic trends in globalization and operations that account for increasingly incoherent behaviors.
Our challenges become how we lead this hot mess, and where details address those primary sources of SC complexity.
First, avoid complexity as a leading tactic for managing trickeration.
Second, seek and find good working partners - 3 PLs, suppliers, and advisors. Third, invest in technology - applications, tools, data management, and automation.
4th, build and maintain flexible workforces, with multi-skills, cross training, creative acquisition, and retention. 5th, learn how to collaborate with suppliers, building trust, sharing results, and creating mutual value. 6th, get the right people in the room, at the right times. Populate the resources with intelligent, high EQ leaders; shoot the managers.
Finally, 7th, link global and business issues, and build sourcing and procurement around them.
Okay, supply chains are complex, but living with them can be straightforward - if you've kept your wits about you.
People Changes And Challenges; Fleeing The Comfort Zone
A MHL piece gets some things right - and some things wrong. A commentator claims that the SCM term has been with us for only twenty years. Actually, the term has been published for over thirty-five years, and in common usage for over thirty. Our use of the term dates to the early '80's.
The writer defines a flow of the processes, all chasing the same goals. The complexities of sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing, inventory control, shipping, processing, and order processing help make the activities understandable, and create harmony where chaos had previously reigned.
In theory, SC visibility lets everyone see what goes on throughout the chain. But, too often, the game begins with cost-cutting, and ends with an end-to-end chain improvement.
A CEO's great challenge is knowing when to leverage people's intelligence.
Achieving visibility is an exercise in teaching people what's what. Typically, a CEO leads the effort. But, the obstacles are high. People's tolerance for change is low, teams have a tendency to go rogue, and resistance is the order of the day.
CEO's almost never order change. It is not until folks leave their comfort zones that they are free to pursue visibility - and see how the enterprise can perform at a higher level.
It's up to you; it's up to your CEO. It's a new possibility.
Inspire Me, Big Boy . . .
By Art van Bodegraven | 02/21/2018 | 11:17 AM
There is a school of thought that posits that one of the major jobs of leaders and managers is to inspire teams and the workforce, with motivating elements of intimidation, team play, and hands-on work of functional example.
Here's what can actully be done to inspire others - not a damn thing. The notion of motivation and inspiration is largely an illusion.
What can be done is to enable the circumstances that promote individuals to inspire an motivate themselvs, create an environment of high performance, and remove obstacles to team success. Otherwise, forget it.
That said, for those inclined to attempt inspiration, a few things that might be tried include, if motivation is to be attempted nonetheless.
Make connections that stick, with people who you could help.
Meet others, and brng others together; create ad hoc networks.
Expand yoiur own network by assembling those with common interests.
Believe in the goodness of people; act accordingly.
Welcome, embrace, those who disagree with your points of view.
Adopt a cause, and dedicate yourself to it; get behind a core belief.
Act without fear, even when afraid of the unknown.
Give to the community.
Be grateful; show empathy; celebrate successes.
Be responsible and dependabe; show others that they can count on you.
Tell a good story; create lessons from life; relate stories to people's ability to inspire and motivate themselves.
These are as close to motivation as you'll get.
So, teach teams and wokers to motivate and inspire themselves - now.
A Future That Might Never Be; Technology Without Robotics
Optimistic views of the future, thirst for transformations in medicine, food, and more. We anticipate 3D self-propogating body parts, and precision robotics, that can perform amazing feats of incision, excision, and body repair.
In a variant of the field, IBM'S Watson is busy crunching numbers in hopes of refining Artificial Intelligence(AI) to discover new technology applications.
But, we have scratched another surface, none involving precision technology. The action, per Fortune magazine is centered in pharma, genomics, agriculture, and reduced wait times for treatment.
Hardwired solutions abound: Uber, Lyft, Concentra, Nomad Health, Johns Hopkins, GE Healthcare. The genomic solutions include: Crispr, Cpf1, Cas9, Editas, Allergan, Keytruda, and 23andMe. Big Pharma puts big-time players on the field: Merck, but Food is red hot: MemphisMeats, Aquabounty, Impossible Foods (in general, plant-based, lab-grown, and fast growing). The traditional industry giants stand astride the planet: Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, DuPont, GMO's and Syngenta, along with ChemChina).
This view of the future is radically different from the technology applications that, with robotics,have been the center of our thinking.
A Failure Of Good Intentions
To those for whom design "comes naturally", it is often thought that some people are hard-wired to perform miracles, even without loaves and fishes. Only a few of us remember the Studebaker automobile.
World-famous designer Raymond Loewy knocked out a dream machine in three weeks, a modern miracle in itself. The space-age land-locked rocket set the world, and not just in autos, on its ear, and put sickly Studebaker back on the path to financial health.
That was the plan, anyway, the vision of company president Sherwood Egbert. But, throw in a great design, add poor planning, and gently mix in quality challenges, and you've got - great design, until the financial types figure out that the scrap heap only pays pennies on the ton.
The company, a legend nearly as great as Notre Dame in hometown South Bend, Indiana, was okay, but set no records in the Ford/Chevy/Plymouth derby. Loewy, laboring out of Palm Springs, was once again called on to salvage the sick man of the industry - but this time out, needed a knockout punch, the foundation for a "new" Studebaker, and a new standard for the industry.
That was 1961, with production cranking up a year later.
By 1963, the last models left the plant, and what was left went on a joyride to Canada. The sick man had finally succumbed, and the last several years were spent in a rehab that never happened.
Great design; lousy quality, poor planning. All this and a price tag that couldn't compete in the market. There's a message in here for SCM. Good intentions don't matter. Lost sales, lost customers - they don't come back. And, good intentions to go with the other challenges - they don't come back easily, either.
Any Gas Left In The IoT Tank?
By Art van Bodegraven | 02/12/2018 | 1:29 PM
The mysterious world of IoT has left a lot to be desired. That it would solve all of problems (challenges) experienced by SCM, through the universe of supply chain management was a fond hope.
But, the reality has overcome the hype, and we've got only a few things left to address by IoT.
The #1 potential is a quick win to the performance and maintenance of industrial machinery - traditional manufacturing, heavy goods. IoT have done a good job of gathering data to manage equipment breakdown and/or maintenance. These inescapably lead to smart scheduling of workloads and workflows.
The quick wins can take performance and guarantee dependability levels.
There is a potential market for IoT apps; it will take time and investment to dollarize them.
Finally, IoT can fully automate manufacturing and supply chain processes. Rather than push data in from the cloud, IoT can permit automatic adjust operations. Ultimately, IoT becomes a complete feedback loop, sensing and responding to interconnected data.
But, we are a great distance from quick hits to interconnectivity.
More Robots; More Help
Dave Blanchard and others are asking if the robots are here to help humans or take their jobs.
Jury's out.
Executives surveyed state that their, by far, greatest concern is finding talent—the thing that keeps them up at night. The degree? Some 80+%. A companion survey indicated that a comparable number were getting hired, a staggering shortfall. Anecdotal tales indicate a similar investment in acquiring and retaining quality people.
The conclusion is inescapable. Spend on getting and keeping talent. Hiring the folks you want and getting in a solid eight hours ought to take care of themselves.
Meanwhile, the machines are taking the place of people don't, won't, or can't do robotic repetitive work. Migrant workers are laboring in the fields, and are picking fruit and vegetables. Breaking news: Thousands are being invested in machinery designed to pick apples, breaking the back of the Washington State industry.
So, depending on application, robots are here to help and to take our jobs. It's ironic that humans are needed to train them in empathy, and communications.
They'll take the jobs away, and we'll help them do it.
A Dynamite Meatloaf Recipe
Highly under-rated singer Meatloaf was the soul of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a surprise cult classic. Speaking of cults, momentum seems to be gathering behind the push for a universal minimum wage
These cluster around, generally, low-wage low-skill functions such as in retail, quick service food, warehousing, and quasi-taxi service. The target seems to be about $15/hour, with a preponderance of high-weight/low capability performers. Government workers are active - and activist - proponents of living wages for sub-par tasks.
These meatloaf - on a good day - meals are known in the collective as Universal Basic Income, or UBI. However en vogue these aspirations are, they are made up of three core elements. One, they are universal; two, they are basic; and three, they do make up an income.
But, to paraphrase Paradise By The Dashboard Light, not much about UBI is attractive. Two of the three elements are not useful, and one is downright bad. So, two failures and one winner.
One out of three is not good; two out of three is bad.
The downside is that the basic income is impossibly low, or the cost of it is insanely high. Implemented, wealthier people would leave the country in droves, to avoid the associated punitive taxes.
Many think that nearly half the population cannot find paid employment. The exceptions, including government support, are proposed to be UBI.
But, the vaunted universality could be taken as a sign of failure. The massive cost could be a mortal wound, and Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch coming through with big bucks is unlikely.
Basicality is a lack of fredom to live modestly, and is a catalyst for social unrest.
Income is an avoidance of starving, and it prevents people from enjoying the the better - not free - things in life. Now, the trick is to figure out how to pay for it.
Maybe we can suss out how to pay for it all. But, the odds are slim.
Meanwhile, well-intentioned folks think UBI is an answer. Not so much, dude. UBI is for dreamers and schemers. But, the tough love we've been missing, it needs to return to the basics.
Labour is promising a pay rise for 5.6 million Brits by giving the national minimum wage a big boost
Dino: Not A Flintstones' Character
For children of a TVLand age, Dino is a household pet from the Stone Age. In a more somber time, Dino is a reminder of human fragility and the cratering impact of tragedy.
Enzo Ferrari was a genius engineer and pre-eminent designer who bestrode the automotive universe, symbolizing the best of Italian produce in his legendary cars. His son and heir was primed to assume control of the signature marque, inheriting the closet-full of checkered flags and trophies that destiny was ready to bequeath when Rex d'Italia Enzo was ready to give up the throne.
Cruel fate intervened, however, and Dino died, in failing health, at the age of 24, never having ruled the kingdom.
Enzo's tributes were two: First, always clad in a black tie symbolizing perpetual mourning; second, creating a permanent auto line, with solely the Dino name as an identifier.
The Dino was a departure, with a tubular and modular mid-engined design (and Pininfarina coachwork), with a limited but long-lasting shelf life. Over time, Enzo stayed glued to the tribute Dino, as horsepower increased and the wheelbase was extended.
Not truly a performance machine in the realm of "real" Ferraris, the Dino could hit 60 in seven seconds, and was sold world-wide at Ferrari dealerships. The movable tribute eventually exhausted its cuteness factor, and production ended in 1974, after a build of 4,000 (against a target of 100).
That it was noisy beyond the comprehenion of heavy metal devotees, and had no luggage space whatsoever, were not deterrents to aficionados. The Dino was testament to a father's love - and the futility of human plans.
For us in SCM, the questions are: to whose memory are we paying tribute? Who has committed to memorials that either celebrate or mourn our work?

Justin Amash Offers Himself as 'Nonpartisan' Speaker
Justin Amash Offers Himself as 'Nonpartisan' Speaker (Newsmax)
By Brian Pfail | Wednesday, 16 November 2022 11:56 AM EST
Former Rep. Justin Amash, L-Mich., has offered a truce between the two political parties in their search to find the next Speaker of the House.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., faces stiff opposition for the Speaker position, even from some Republicans.
"If neither party has the votes to elect a speaker of the House, I'd be happy to serve as a nonpartisan speaker who ensures the institution works as it's supposed to — a place where all ideas are welcome and where outcomes are discovered through the process, not dictated from above," Amash tweeted on Tuesday.
In 2020, the former Republican registered as a Libertarian, becoming the Libertarian Party's first member of Congress. Amash considered running for president as a third-party candidate, only to decide against it and leave the House after his term.
In a closed-door, secret-ballot election on Tuesday, House Republicans chose McCarthy. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., challenged the bid due to McCarthy's less-than-favorable alignment to the America First agenda initiated by former President Donald Trump.
McCarthy won the House GOP Speaker nomination over Biggs by 157 votes. He would need a total of 218 votes to be fully sworn in.
With Republicans holding a slim majority in the House, McCarthy will only have a few votes to spare from dissenting Republicans.
The Freedom Caucus, which typically takes traditionally conservative leads on issues, found Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., throwing support for McCarthy, arguing that the division among Republicans could lead some moderates to join Democrats.
A significant factor against McCarthy is the proposed House and GOP Conference rules changes. The House Freedom Caucus proposed rule changes to chip away at leadership's power and give more to individual members. This aligns more with Amash, a founding member of the Freedom Caucus, who left around the time he registered as a Libertarian.
The House GOP will examine the internal Conference rules changes on Wednesday afternoon. McCarthy said on Tuesday the House GOP would consider the changes on Wednesday and after Thanksgiving.

1 DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE – Nightmare Vision 12″ EP
by backwoodsvegan
While there are a million "dis" bands out and around these days, few are standouts. They tend to be lazy about it and just go through the motions so that they can play drunk hoping nobody will notice. Granted, there's nothing wrong with playing what you love whether it's good or bad, but fortunately there are a few bands like DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE that pull it off incredibly well. As soon as the needle drops it's like a runaway freight train of perfect dis-comfort. Other bands should be lucky enough to sneak by the bulls and get a comfortable spot inside a grainer when they belong in the coal car compared to this. All you get here is stripped down power, fury and anger with straight to te point haiku style lyrics and black and white visual atrocity for artwork. Although, it would have been nice to get a little more art on an insert with lyrics, but instead, the lyrics are posted straight to te back of the LP cover. * songs of no BS d-beat bliss (seven sets of lyrics in English and one in Norwegian) covering all the topics you know and love: power struggle, oppression, war and genocide. Nothing original, but everything you want! Get it! (Jake)

0 RIDE AT DAWN: Chrome Pillars: 7″
by harleytexas
This four piece band from Toronto, ON has put out their debut vinyl release with four blistering metallic hardcore songs with a bunch of crust and d-beat thrown in. The singer, if you can call him that since he's screaming and yelling his throat out on this, is mixed fairly well, the drums are pretty high in the mix which is pretty cool, it makes it a bigger presence and just pounds away throughout. These guys sound like they are trying to win a race the way that they tear through these four songs. If you're a fan of this stuff, these guys will fit the bill nicely. I was impressed, they really did a good job on this and I'm interested in what comes next. (Rick E.)

0 Absence öf Youth-Volume One:The Seventh Circle
by xbezerkerx
Here is my first digital only review. What is the world coming to now with all these digital releases. Can't really complain when I listen to this, this is a bad ass release. They call themselves D-beat/Crust Punk which I can see but this is better then your average D-beat/Crust band these songs sound way better with the gritty vocals and the heavy guitar. Plus all the songs aren't long epic riffs there are some like "Bottle of Oblivion" that is a super fast catchy punk song with heavy drums and fast vocals. Track #9 has a nice intro into the song of a Native American talking about the struggle of the white man taking there land away and putting them on reservations. So kind of in the lines of RESISTANT CULTURE. Kind of has the KONTRASEKT sound to them. Then goes into the gritty as hell vocals that I think really make this album, nothing fancy straight to the point and not over produced at all. Please everyone go follow the link and download this album for free or pay whatever you can. You'll be glad you did. (XbezerkerX)

0 Oiltanker / No Tomorrow split LP review – GUEST REVIEW BY AUNTY SOCIAL
· PE Web Zine · Reviews
A pairing of two East Coast crust bands by means of Profane Existence, this definitely sounded like an exciting release when I first got word of it. OILTANKER has a pretty killer sound mixing crust and hardcore, while NO TOMORROW is mostly crust-laden D-beat- what more can a crusty ask for? The two previous releases OILTANKER has are exemplary (the Crusades 7″ and the Shadow of Greed LP) and NO TOMORROW's demo tape was heavy and epic in its own right. This was a record designed for success.
The Oiltanker side is a continuation of that crust-core sound-rolling drum beat, equal sounding guitars and bass, and raspy hardcore shouts. It isn't innovative or progressive, but it kept my attention for the duration. All the songs were pretty good- worth streaming / downloading, at least. If you like heavy crust or have been a fan of OILTANKER before, you won't be disappointed. NO TOMORROW's side is a mix of DISCHARGE, TRAGEDY, and I can even hear a slight AGNOSTIC FRONT influence (Victim in Pain/ Cause for Alarm era). I do want to like this- I really do. However, the bass sound is almost overwhelming, and the guitar is hard to hear, given that the band seems to do the "wall of sound" style (that being guitars tuned down, bass amped up, and drums in a mid-tempo sort of beat). Some like that sound, but I like to hear the guitars as a separate part of the music (to the band's credit, they do have a couple break-off points where they have a separate guitar track that?s much more distinct). Also, the mid-tempo beat of this throughout can get dreary after a while. Not "bad" per se, but I didn't get overly excited.
Overall, a decent split, with OILTANKER being the better side. I'd say stream this first, and it's likely a case of genre music for genre people. I like the mixing job on the this record, too; props to the audio engineer.

1 Soft Dov – Deathblast (Cassette)
From New Brunswick, NJ, comes Soft Dov with an all out assault on your senses. Totally fast, loud, wild and to the point on this release with ten tracks in just over eleven minutes! A great d-beat sound on here played with all the intensity you need with an old school feel that makes this stand out from the pack. This makes you want to play it loud and get out the combat boots to thrash around the house and fuck shit up! The production is pretty good, clear for being self released and the playing is tight, no lyrics included in this, but the really cool part is that you can get the digital download for free! I would go look for this on cassette to keep it old school, but go get the free download and play the hell out of this one. (Rick E)

0 DEATH FROM ABOVE review
DEATH FROM ABOVE 4 Trax EP
When I was in high school I played in a band called DFA (Death From Above), we were a total thrash-punk crossover band that listened to healthy doses of DRI, VENOM, METALLICA, COC, the EXPLOITED, etc. We just jammed for our friends and had a good time representing RFHC (Roaring Fork Hard Core). We never recorded anything other than practice tapes and we probably sucked.
This DEATH FROM ABOVE hails from Brazil and plays straight-up D-Beat, this is their first foray into the world of vinyl and they do not suck. DFA does not stray far, if at all, from the patented D-Beat formula and on this 4 song 7" they even cover DISCHARGE's 'War's No Fairytale' doing it perfectly.
This three-piece packs quite a punch and the production is immaculate. It's heavy and warm… and punk as fuck! The packaging is the classic black and white imagery so common to this style of music, but folds out into a mini-poster of sorts. There are no lyrics with the genre and songs like 'Bloody Streets' and 'Game of the Arseholes' you pretty much know what they are about.
This is total DISCHARGE worship with little of its own identity but it is so well done that the record is actually quite fun and is worthy of its existence! (JoshMosh)

Manchester United are preparing a double swoop on Italian giants Lazio, according to reports.
Star duo Stefan de Vrij and Felipe Anderson are in Louis van Gaal's sights according to Metro, with the former well-known to van Gaal duo to their time together in the Dutch national team.
De Vrij and Felipe Anderson helped Lazio to Champions League qualification this season and there's no doubt the Roman club will slap a massive price tag on both players.
Van Gaal is looking to bolster his squad this summer as United look to make an assault on the Premier League title, and the signing of both players would come as massive warning shot to the Red Devils' Premier League title rivals.
De Vrij could help van Gaal gain some stability across the back after the Dutchman failed to settle on a defensive combination last season.
Felipe Anderson can provide goals from midfield, evident from his 10 goals in the Serie A last season.

Fourteen years later (a couple of weeks ago), I decided to splurge and buy some creamy gorgonzola cheese. I made a little plate of food for dinner that included a small pat of gorgonzola, some pineapple, avocado, a sliced boiled egg with yummy Himalayan salt and some cracked pepper, and a few small whole grain crackers, and then I poured a glass of my favorite cheap (Cook's) champagne. I was in absolute heaven. Every bite was delicious. Especially the gorgonzola.
Feeling satisfied, I took my plate to the kitchen. But, then, as I passed the refrigerator, the gorgonzola beckoned me again. I grabbed the chunk, and pinched off a satisfying bit, and put it in my mouth. The tingly, tangy, yummy cheese melted slowly on my tongue, and I washed it down with the rest of my champagne. Then, I went back to my computer to check email, or maybe binge watch YouTube videos, when I found that there was residue of gorgonzola on my forefinger and thumb. I licked it off, and sighed heavily, closing my eyes while I savored the flavor.
"Thank you, God, for cheese," I said aloud.
I heard laughter. I mean, seriously, God laughed.
"You're thanking me for cheese?" God laughed again.
I looked around the room, searching for the voice that was quite audible, and began smiling and laughing myself when I realized that God was truly joyfully laughing at my comment.
"Um, yeah...thank You for cheese. I mean, thank You for ALL cheese, but especially this creamy gorgonzola. I'm not ever going to deny myself good cheese again. I mean, wow...thank You so much. It's just so amazing."
Undeniably, the flavor of the cheese had not only touched my tastebuds, but my heart and soul were set free. I thought of every thought and every person who had gone into making that moment happen in my life. From the dairy cows and ranchers who raised them, to farmers who created the feed for the cows, to the cheese makers, cheese tasters (especially the ones who boldly said, "Oh, look! There's this blackish-blue stuff in that cheese! Let's taste it!"), the people who created the machines to automatically wrap the cheese, the graphic designers who made the label look pretty and describe exactly what was inside, the makers of the wrapper itself, the company that probably had countless meetings as to how best to market and ship the cheese to the public, the shelf stockers who displayed it so that I could ultimately find it, the people who thought of adding the little sticky label that suggested cutting off the rind before serving it (and the people who wrote those words for that little sticky label). I mean, the whole experience of even considering how this scrumptious bite of heaven got to my plate and into my mouth became awe inspiring.
So, when I thanked God for cheese, after the laughter subsided, I was suddenly and gloriously wrapped up in this incredible blanket of love...warm and scrumptious in and of itself. It was the same kind of feeling that I remember as I was gathered into my mother's bosom for a warm and beautiful hug after thanking her for a wonderful meal. It was the most heartfelt "You're welcome," and it was then and there that I realized how often I forget to acknowledge the One who is the heart and soul of all creation. Oh sure, I thank God for the big things. And, I thank God for the little things. But, the seemingly mundane things, such as a piece of cheese? Well, it wasn't about thanking God for getting a promotion, or winning the lottery. It was about thanking God for that one body/mind/spirit satisfying moment that made my heart sing. And, the coolest part was, I discovered that my gratitude made God happy, too. Wow.
So, if you think you that haven't contributed anything to the world today, please reconsider. If you're that clerk in the grocery store who smiled and made a difference in my whole attitude for the day, thank you. If you're the person who hit their brakes in traffic when I made a dumb move that could have caused an accident, and you just smiled and waved me on, thank you. If you are the gal on the other end of the phone who cheerfully stuck with me when I had to make that dreaded phone call to fix my TV reception, thank you. If you're that one who prayed today for the upliftment of all people on earth, thank you. If you sent me an encouraging email, or prayed for me today, thank you. On and on it goes, i.e., the waste management truck driver who always readjusts my trashcan when it's too far out into the street. I mean, really? He has nothing else to do with his day than to get out of his truck, readjust my trashcan just to make life simpler for me? Wow. Thank you, waste management guy.
The things that we do that matter, are often the things we will never know that we did.
You may never know how or if you've touched a life today, or whether your life has made a difference. But, if you stepped over an ant, picked up a piece of trash, or thought even one good thought about yourself, you have released a wealth of goodness into the world.

If I try to play a MP3 file on an FTP Media Server, foobar2000 throws an 'Playback error: Object not found On: "ftp://SERVERNAME/FOLDER/test01.mp3"' error. I can browse the FTP Media Server and cover images are displayed. I can even download those cover images (cover.jpg), but if I try to download a MP3 file I get an 'test01.mp3 Object not found' error. This behavior is identical with foobar 1.0.94 on Android and iOS.
I captured the FTP connection with tcpdump and it seems foobar2000 never even tries to download any MP3 files. The FTP server is ProFTPD 1.3.5b on Debian Linux.
Has someone gotten music playback from an FTP Media Server working and can share some insight?

Silicon Techtronics Case Study
Case Summary Randy Samuels, ex-programmer at Silicon Techtronics, was charged for the manslaughter of Bart Matthews who was killed by Robbie CX30. It was manufactured at Silicon Techtronics and Randy obviously programmed the robot erroneously which caused the robot to kill Bart. The Prosecuting Attorney, Jane McMurdock, found evidence which shows that Randy improperly interpreted the physics formula. The programs specifications do reflect what Randy implemented in the robot. He interchanged and miscalculated the formulas that was handed to him. In essence, his mistake costs a person's life. Within the company, the Robotics Division was already having problems before the Matthew's incident. The Robbie CX30 was an important breakpoint for the…show more content…
There is no human life at stake in data processing. She stated that the Robbie CX30 involves a high degree of interaction between the operator and the robot's components. She explained the cons of the "waterfall" method to Reynolds but he fired her two weeks after the memo was written. In regards to Reynold's history with Silicon Techtronics, Martha explained that Reynolds was transferred to the Robotics Division as a project manager, not as a technical expert. Waterson felt that an internal source for the open position would be cheaper than searching for an outside, well-qualified project manager. When Reynolds was hired, he was hesitant to accept position because his "waterfall" method may not be applicable to the CX30 project. However, he reluctantly gave up his methodology. He felt that prototyping, formal specification, verification techniques, object-oriented design was just a fad. He basically rejected everything except for his "waterfall" method. All the new fads were just a waste of time for him. Also, he believed that the user interaction was not priority until towards the end of the project. A group of programmers called "Justice for Randy Samuels Committee" felt that Randy is
Case Study The Dilemma At Devil's Den
Some employees including Susan witnessed and admitted that this was growing to a serious problem. However, Susan really reported this problem and hoped could change something, but she failed to do so. Most employees felt did not be wiling to to expose this reality, because nobody wanted to be involved in a risk of their "friendship". The Den was contracted with an external company called College Food Services (CFS). It was CFS's loss of money from this freebie problem; the employees naturally would not want to jeopardize their relationship by standing out.
The Man's Inventions In The Flying Machine By Ray Bradbury
His company provided free websites for use, but were looking for a way to generate revenue. Thus popup ads were created. But he became disgusted at the use of crude adds now occurring on the websites. It is wise to be careful of what you make, for it will live with you for the rest of your life. In addition, invention in the wrong hand can be weaponized or used against their intended purpose.
Wards Company Case Study
Even though they had competitors, the extra 20% of floor selling space only made them spend money on extra electronics that turned into backflow that could not be sold back and disabled them from purchasing newer items. Unlike other competitors, Circuit City did not utilize the tools available to promote their products, tools such as a web pages and/or social media. Another move I considered a "bad move" was stopping commissions. When they laid off commission worked and rehired them as hourly paid worked, I think that hurt the morale of the company. The company would have probably benefited from cross training the workers and have them qualified in other work
Surgery In Charlie's Life
Charlie should not have gotten the surgery because his intelligence gained from the operation is not permanent this causes him serious pain. When he has had the surgery, he may die this affects Charlie greatly he also gets suicidal thoughts. Lastly,Charlie has no friends or family towards the end and the surgery causes all these problems for Charlie. This story is about a person named Charlie, who has a learning disability and has had surgery to fix this and allow him to become smarter, but with this, he gets many dreadful side effects. The treatment was an unsatisfactory idea and Charlie should not have the opportunity to get surgery how would he know if it is a effective idea or not.
Life Lessons In Disney Movies
Because he feels like he is not getting the appreciation or recognition that he deserves Ralph leaves the game in the hopes of becoming a hero elsewhere. However, without Ralph in the game it is unplayable, which places all the other characters at risk of being unplugged. Sometimes it can feel like what we do is meaningless or insignificant until we learn to see the bigger picture and realize how valuable our contributions really are. This movie teaches us that our jobs do not have to define us and even if we cannot all be the hero it doesn't mean what we do is not
Intellex Case Study
In reality, the make repair offices it will take a period of time. This proves again that Intellex did not really care about the terms and conditions of the contract; all they needed is not to license Cranbrooke to distribute Smartplug2 video games products. The conditions in which Intellex put Cranbrooke were tricky in a way and Cranbrooke being under the pressure still agreed to the terms of the contract and made just little changes, which can count as they exceeded the actual terms, but Intellex declined it, just because they wanted to get rid of the Cranbrooke. With no doubts Intellex caused obstacles to effectively use Cranbrooke's right to
Cultural Change In Organizational Culture
Another reason why the change might not have been so successful is due to the lack of expressiveness from the managers. This is was Alvesson and Sveningsson (2015) call symbolic anorexia or cultural thinness. Symbols create meaning in a simplistic and powerful way and can be anything from an event to a story. Symbols often appeal to both the logical and the emotional sides of a person (Alvesson and Sveningsson, 2015). Since there was a lack of symbols, the employees did not understand the new culture or the need for it.
Holden Caulfield In The Catcher In The Rye
"(59). Holden Caulfield is hard to please and goes against the rules. Since most things don't interest him, he gives up on having a nice future and career. He does not look at the bright side of things. Later, he states "One of my troubles is I never care too much when I lose something...Maybe that's why I'm partly yellow." (89).
Ethics In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Shelley indicates that his teachers also deserve a cut of the blame, as they quickly disregard the principle that highlights responsible mentoring. They were meant to help "educate, mentor, and advise students" (Resnik) such as Victor, but clearly failed to do so. They dismiss his interest in alchemy without explaining why such a study is dangerous or harmful, not only to individuals, but to the whole of the community. At the school, M. Krempe dismisses alchemists as "nonsense" while M. Waldman tells Victor that these studies "promised impossibilities and preformed nothing" (Shelley). Never once did they discuss the dangers, they just spoke of their dislike for the field, and how they found it to be worthless and unhelpful in relation to their studies.
Reflection In Night By Elie Wiesel
As the story progressed, Elie begins to catch himself beginning to have no pity towards others and having a pessimistic attitude. For example, following the hanging of Elie's dentist, who was going to remove his golden crown. Elie did not have a slightest bit of pity in him. He stated that he "was nothing but a body. Perhaps even less: a famished stomach.

Q: Idiomatic way to timeout websocket.Dial in go? I have code like the following:
_, err := websocket.Dial("wss://remote-server", "", "http://localhost")

if (err == nil) {
  fmt.Println("Worked!")
} else {
  fmt.Println("Fail")
}

When remote-server is down, it takes 60s to timeout. I found websocket.SetDeadline (http://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go.net/websocket#Conn.SetDeadline), but I don't have a connection yet to apply it to. I can pass a Config to DialConfig, but I can't see where to specify a timeout doing that.
I found https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/Timeouts, is this how I have to do it? How do I correctly pass the error code back from the goroutine?

A: I havent used the go websocket package yet but from what I can infer from the documentation one should probably use net.DialTimeout(...) coupled with websocket.NewClient(...)
The source of DialConfig uses the same method but limited to net.Dial.
