Planting of soybean reaches final stretch in Brazil
Porto Alegre, December 22, 2020 – The planting of the new Brazilian soybean crop progressed to the final stretch. With the sowing already closed in the Midwest and Southeast states, the work is yet to be finished only in areas of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and in the states of the North and Northeast regions.
According to a survey conducted by SAFRAS & Mercado, until December 18, Brazilian growers sowed 95.7% of the total area expected for the country. The percentage is equivalent to around 36.77 million hectares sown, out of a total of 38.415 million hectares estimated for planting in the country. In the previous week, the index was 93.5%. In the same period of the previous year, the percentage reached 96.2%, while the five-year average for the period is 96.7%.
In Rio Grande do Sul, out of a total area estimated at 6.08 million hectares, 89% were sown, or nearly 5.41 million hectares. In the previous week, the index was 81%, while in the same period last year it reached 93%. The five-year average for this time of year is 95.6%.
In Paraná, 100% of the area destined for soybeans were sown, or approximately 5.6 million hectares. In the previous week, the index was 100%. In the same period last year, the percentage reached 100%, while the five-year average is 99.8% for the period.
In Mato Grosso, out of a total expected area of 10.3 million hectares, 100% were sown. In the previous week, the index was 100%. In the same period of the previous year, the percentage was 100%. The five-year average for the period is 99.8%.
In Mato Grosso do Sul, out of a total area estimated at 3.25 million hectares, 100% were sown. In the previous week, the index was 100%. In the same period last year, the percentage was 100%, while the five-year average for the period is 100%.
In Goiás, out of a total expected area of 3.795 million hectares, 100% were sown. In the previous week, the index was 97%, while in the same period last year the percentage was 100%. The five-year average for the period is 99.8%.
In São Paulo, out of a total area estimated at 1.08 million hectares, 100% were sown. In the previous week, the index was 99%, while in the same period of the previous year the percentage was 100%. The five-year average for the period is 99.8%.
In Minas Gerais, out of a total area estimated at 1.82 million hectares, 100% were sown. In the previous week, the index was 99%. In the same period last year, the percentage was 100%, while the five-year average for the period is 99.4%.
In Bahia, out of a total area estimated at 1.67 million hectares, 100% were sown. In the previous week, the index was 99%, while in the same period last year the percentage was 98%. The five-year average for the period is 96.2%.
In Santa Catarina, the planting is 99% complete of an expected total area of 750 thousand hectares, which is equivalent to nearly 743 thousand hectares. In the previous week, the index was 95%. In the same period of the previous year, the percentage was 100%, while the average for the period is 99.6%.
Weather forecasts point to rain in practically all growing states in the period between December 18 and 24. Between December 25 and 31, most states in the central strip of the country must receive large volumes of rainfall. In Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia, little moisture is expected.

How do I attach the black cloth to my woven acoustic fixed frame?
The black backing cloth can be attached to the wall or the frame using an adhesive tape, but the most secure way to install the black backing is to screw it to the frame at the corners using the corner screws that hold the frame corners together.

Mindset Monday #13
"Love!"
Hello, Hypnopunk here with your Mindset Monday. And today is all about this little fella, Love. You see I had this little fellow when I was little. It was my first Care Bear. Yes, I know it kind of takes the edge off this badass gimmick that I've got going on here but I remember when I was six or seven, maybe eight or nine, I had this Care Bear and it was Love-A-Lot Bear. And today's Mindset Monday is all about love. You see, love's the only reason for anything. It's the darkness. It's the light. It's the motivation.
There's a quote from "The Course in Miracles" that says there's only two real emotions out there, love and fear. And fear is just an illusion. The reason we do anything is for love...love of someone else, love of a loved one, a partner, a husband, a wife, our children, friendships, love of ourselves.
What do you love? What should you love? How can you love yourself more? How can you bring a Love-A-Lot Bear into your own heart, into your own life?
Always Believe,
Luke Michael Howard

MACAU, 12 October 2016 – Asia's insurance industry celebrated its crème de la crème at a gala dinner held in Macau last night honouring a total of 15 winners. The 20th Asia Insurance Industry Awards celebrated the achievements of outstanding industry leaders in various categories. Paying tribute to individuals who have made the most outstanding long-term contribution to the insurance industry in Asia, the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Mr. Toshiaki Egashira, Senior Advisor to the Board of Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company, Limited.
A bold and inspiring leader, Mr. Egashira was entrusted with leading Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance "MSI" (a core non-life insurance entity of MS&AD) in April 2006. With three decades of credentials in underwriting, marketing and corporate strategy, Mr. Egashira took on one of the biggest challenges in his career – transforming a domestic-centric MSI into a global insurance powerhouse by implementing fundamental reforms that reshaped the Group's corporate culture.
With 395 entries for the awards and a judging panel of 30 international business leaders and regulators from the insurance industry, the annual Asia Insurance Industry Awards are the foremost awards of their kind in the region. It has been hosted since 1997 by Asia Insurance Review, the leading journal and strategic partner in the region's insurance industry.

This is the Christmas edition of Residents' News
Harrogate Borough Council sent this bulletin at 17-12-2020 04:05 PM GMT
Having trouble reading this newsletter? View it in a browser.
This is your latest edition of Residents' News
Coronavirus at Christmas
The national lockdown ended on 2 December. Our district is now in Tier 2 ("high alert") coronavirus restrictions until further notice.
You can find out what Tier 2 means for you on the government website.
There are three simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other:
Wash your hands - keep washing your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds
Cover your face - wear a face covering in enclosed spaces
Make space - stay at least two metres apart (one metre if you are wearing a face covering or other precautions are in place)
The government has agreed special arrangements for Christmas 'bubbles' between 23 and 27 December. The government website has more detail on what is allowed.
Don't forget, if you, or someone you live with (or are in a support bubble with) develop Covid-19 symptoms, you, or they, must immediately self-isolate at home to stop the risk of spreading the virus to other people.
A seasonal message from the leader of the council and our chief executive
This the last edition of our Residents' News before the new year, so we wanted to reflect on our collective experience of 2020.
There is no denying that this year has been challenging – in many different ways – for everyone in the district.
The coronavirus has changed our lives, probably for ever. It's quite likely that you will know someone who has been affected by the virus itself or the difficulties it has presented to local businesses.
It has certainly had a significant impact on our district, but we have all responded to the challenges well.
Our residents and businesses have shown huge amounts of resilience as they adjusted to the new 'normal'.
We'd like to say 'thank you' for everything you've done to keep yourself, your family, friends and neighbours safe from the virus. If you have lost a loved one, we extend our sincere sympathies to you.
By taking personal responsibility and following the rules, we've not suffered in the same way as other areas of the country.
Despite the fact Christmas is approaching and some of the usual seasonal cheer exists, we cannot afford to take our feet off the proverbial gas pedal or be complacent about Covid-19.
There is still risk of the virus spreading. It doesn't know – or care – that it's the season of goodwill.
The national rules have been eased to allow families to get together for a limited period at the end of this month, but we are relying on you to think carefully before making plans.
Of course, there is good news on the horizon with a vaccine now being rolled out across the country.
While it will take many months before everyone has received the vaccine, it should help us slowly return to something close to the world we knew before 2020.
It might be tempting to write-off this year but we do think we can be proud of the way you – and many thousands of residents – responded to this health emergency.
Please enjoy the Christmas and New Year festivities as best as you can but please stay safe at all times. Remember the "hands, face, space" message and please stick to the Tier 2 restrictions.
With our best wishes for 2021.
Councillor Richard Cooper
Leader of the council
Wallace Sampson OBE
Coronavirus: support for your business
The national lockdown may be over, but support is still available for businesses across the borough that were affected by the restrictions.
Your business might be eligible for a cash grant (in some cases up to £3,000) depending on the nature of your business, whether it is liable for business rates (even if your bill shows 100% rate relief) and what impact the lockdown had on trading.
We've posted full details on our website. As you'd expect, there are strict criteria, but we encourage you to check and consider applying.
Christmas information online
We've launched the annual Christmas information page on our website.
It contains everything you need to know about car parking; staying safe and protecting your family during the festivities; our seasonal opening times and our emergency contacts.
If you need help because of the coronavirus and can't call on the support of friends, family or your neighbours during the Christmas and New Year period, please call 01609 780780 so assistance can be provided by our colleagues at the county council.
Christmas and New Year bin collection changes
We've made some changes to collection days in order to take account of the Christmas and New Year holidays.
It means some collections will take place earlier than usual. In the week beginning Monday 21 December, these are the revised collection days:
Usual day Revised day
Monday 21 Saturday 19
Tuesday 22 Monday 21
Wednesday 23 Tuesday 22
Thursday 24 Wednesday 23
Friday 25 Thursday 24
In the weeks commencing 28 December and 4 January 2021, collections will generally take place one, or two, days later than usual.
We've updated the 'In My Area' section of our website to reflect these changes. Please ensure your bin, recycling box(es)/bag(s) or waste sacks are outside your property by 7am on the day they are due for collection.
Enjoy some 'proper shopping' at your local market this Christmas
Experience the buzz of your local outdoor market and buy from independent traders in Knaresborough and Ripon.
From gifts, household items, fashion and food, there are plenty of high-quality products and produce at great prices.
Both markets are set within a traditional town/city square surrounded by modern shops, cafes and transport links.
Knaresborough market takes place every Wednesday* from 7.30am to 3pm.
Ripon market is on every Thursday* from 7.30am to 3pm or visit the smaller Saturday* morning market from 7.30am to 2pm.
*except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
Find out more about both markets on our website.
Resident fined after waste is illegally dumped by contractor
Fly-tipping is a blight on the district, and it costs you – as a council tax-payer – more than £40,000 a year for us to clear up.
We've always said we will do everything we can to track down the people responsible when waste is illegally dumped.
We've successfully fined a householder from Harrogate because he didn't check the credentials of a waste collector who took his rubbish away.
Instead of being disposed of correctly, the collector simply dumped the man's rubbish on the roadside.
You have a legal obligation to make sure a person, or firm, you use to take away waste is properly licenced. You should ask to see proof that they are registered with the Environment Agency.
You should also ask for a copy of a document called a waste transfer notice, or at the very least get a receipt from whoever has come to collect your waste.
Find out more about your responsibilities on our website.
You can also report instances of fly tipping online.
Severe weather emergency accommodation available in Harrogate
You may have seen some yellow units that have been installed in Tower Street car park in Harrogate.
These will be used as emergency accommodation for anyone who needs a roof over their head when the weather conditions are considered severe.
The accommodation, staffed at all times, is accessible through agency referral only and provides warm, safe accommodation.
All units are self-contained and will be in place for three months.
They are a temporary measure while we complete our new facility on Spa Lane in Starbeck. This will open next year.
Both the emergency accommodation, and the new facility in Starbeck, are a temporary measure while we work with the individual to secure more permanent accommodation. We will also offer support for their health and wellbeing.
This is the case for anyone who finds themselves homeless and we urge anyone in this position to call us 01423 500600.
"East and West is best" proposal for future of local government in North Yorkshire is submitted
Council leaders from Harrogate, Scarborough, Craven, Richmondshire, Ryedale and Selby have submitted a full business case to government, proposing an 'east and west' model as the best option for reorganising local government in North Yorkshire and York.
The full proposal sets out the benefits of a balanced east and west model for residents, businesses, communities and partners across the whole area.
It would see our district joining together with Craven, Richmondshire and Hambleton to form a unitary council in the west of the county, with a population of 363,000.
Meanwhile, the city of York, the districts of Selby and Ryedale and the borough of Scarborough would join together to form a unitary council in the east, with a population of 465,000.
The six leaders say the proposal is best for business and economy; best for excellent, efficient local services; best for people, places and communities; best for local democracy; best financially and is deliverable by 2023.
Find out more on the Get Change Right website where you can also pledge your support for the east/west model if you feel it is the right choice for our district and the wider county. We expect to hear back from government early next year.
Mercer Art Gallery and Royal Pump Room Museum open again
The move from national lockdown to Tier 2 restrictions means we've been able to reopen both the Mercer Art Galleryand Royal Pump Room Museum in Harrogate.
Both venues have been made Covid-secure so you can enjoy them safely.
The gallery has a new exhibition featuring works by Philip Gurrey and Ivon Hitchens along with items in the shop which would make some ideal Christmas gifts.
The museum is looking very festive and is ready to welcome you back.
You'll need to pre-book your visit to the museum or gallery in advance and you'll need to wear a face covering at all times when with us, unless you are exempt.
Don't fall victim to scammers this Christmas
This time of the year is supposed to be a joyous time, but sadly there are criminals hiding in the virtual shadows who have their eye on your hard-earned cash.
We're supporting the National Cyber Security Centre and Action Fraud's "12 Scams of Christmas" campaign.
Scams come in different guises. It could be an email which relates to 'a refund' or something to do with the coronavirus or Brexit.
Criminals also set up fake websites, make themselves look like respected charities, or send seasonal E-cards which are infected with computer viruses.
Please keep your wits about you and remember that any message which asks you to 'click a link' or requires you to type in your personal details is likely to be dodgy.
Roecliffe and Westwick Parish Council draft neighbourhood plan
Roecliffe and Westwick Parish Council has submitted its draft Neighbourhood Plan.
This will now follow the formal process of what is called a 'public examination' by an independent planning specialist.
Before the examination process begins, we are inviting comments from people who live or work in the Roecliffe and Westwick area.
If successful at both examination and public referendum, the neighbourhood plan will be used to determine planning applications in the parish of Roecliffe and Westwick. The consultation closes on Friday 15 January.
'Tis the season … to support your community
With days to go before Christmas, you may be running out of gift ideas.
Here's a suggestion from us: play THE LOCAL LOTTO and give the gift of a donation to a good cause in the Harrogate district.
When you buy a ticket, you have the chance of winning prizes of £25,000, £2,000, £250, £25 or three – free - tickets.
Crucially, 60p in every £1 you spend on a ticket goes back into the local community.
We currently have more than 100 charities signed-up to the lottery and the ongoing support of all our players means their vital work can continue.
THE LOCAL LOTTO is now two years old. In that time, with your support, £102,000 has been raised for voluntary organisations in the district. This is an amazing achievement.
If you represent a local good cause, make sure your organisation is signed up to THE LOCAL LOTTO to make sure you can benefit from the support of our players.
Terms and conditions apply and note that you must be 16 or over to be a player.
Census 2021: a snapshot of modern society
We're publicising Census 2021 on behalf of our friends at the Office for National Statistics.
The late Johnny Nash once sang: 'There Are More Questions Than Answers'.
With the census it's a case of there being as many answers as there are questions. Those answers help to shape many aspects of our lives.
The census is an important survey that asks everyone in England and Wales the same questions on the same day. For Census 2021, that day is 21 March.
It may seem odd to still hold a census in the internet age when so much is known about us, but nothing comes close to the information garnered by the census.
Free from commercial or political influences, the census paints a picture of how we live.
It's a vital tool to help decide how to spend billions of pounds. This includes roads, schools and hospitals.
This valuable information shapes so many aspects of our lives. It also helps society to run more efficiently.
Households across the country will be asked to take part in this once-in-a-decade survey that gives us the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales.
The census has been carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941 when the planned date fell during the war.

• Follow the 20/20/20 rule — This isn't a test to see how good your vision is. Instead, it's a rule of thumb to help keep your eyes from straining. Set a timer for 20 minutes and take 20 seconds to look at something 20 feet away.
• Take a break — It might seem counterintuitive but walking away from your books and laptop will help in the long run. It will give your eyes (and brain) a rest and you'll feel refreshed when you get back to studying.
• Light up your life — Chances are you're studying late into the night and you'll need to make sure to keep your study space properly lit. Have a background light on – don't rely on the light of your laptop – and try to use the night-mode on your devices.
• Get tested — The last thing you'll want after your exams is another test, but getting your eyes checked is an important one. You may find out you need corrective lenses and, if so, they will make a significant difference — greatly reducing the risk of eye strain and headaches and helping improve your academic performance.
Here are a few things you can do to work-around fitness equipment limitations.

The last three weeks have been so very busy I thought I'd better finally take a few minutes to catch you all up with what has been going on.
Life became even more hectic than usual on 23rd March when A Current Affair screened a part of the story they filmed with me (there was a lot that didn't make this particular segment). Oh boy did that segment generate some emails! I've finally managed to get the number waiting for a response down to 276, but it has taken a long, long time. And still the questions are coming in.
Someone suggested I get someone else to answer them, but that didn't sit well with me. I promised to answer, and answer I will, it is just taking a little while. If you're waiting to hear from me, you will - I can't say when, but you will.
I was glad when Easter finally arrived for a break. We have visitors over Easter so I did take the opportunity to take some time off and relax a little.
Wendy reignited my card making bug, and on Saturday night I dragged out my craft stuff and sat down to make some cards. I was a little stuck for ideas, it has been a while, so it was Google to the rescue. It only took a few minutes to get those creative ideas flowing again and here's what I made - I'm very happy with how they've turned out.
Dishcloths were also on the agenda. I needed a quick thank you gift and I know that hand-knitted dishcloths are a favourite for this particular lady, so out came the needles and the cotton and over two nights I knitted three square dishcloths, just in my favourite diagonal pattern. It's so quick and easy, I can do a 50 stitch dishcloth in around 2 hours.
Not much baking has been done so those rolls of biscuit dough stashed in the freezer came in very handy for morning and afternoon teas. I'm sure I earned some brownie points with a certain gentleman when he was able to enjoy freshly baked biscuits every afternoon - and a variety too! I had rolls of choc chip, Cranberry Hootycreek and Raspberry and White Choc dough in the freezer so it was a case of thaw, slice and bake, very easy and apparently very impressive.
My poor garden is suffering terribly. I need some time to get into it and get it ready for winter. The winter veg still need to go into the ground. As we're away for six weeks I've been waiting to get the cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips, turnips and beetroot into the garden. If they had been planted any earlier they'd be ready while I'm away and that would be a waste. If I get them in the ground now they'll be ready or almost ready when we get home, no waste.
That jolly pumpkin vine is still growing. It's taken over the backyard, climbed the fence, into the neighbour's tree and produced some nice, plump pumpkins in it! There are around 27 pumpkins on it - some of them are almost ready to pick. We've already cut two, and they are delicious. One was made into soup, one was cut into pieces for baking. Did you know you can freeze pumpkin if you're going to use it for soup or baking? I just put the number of pieces I need into ziplock bags or vacuum seal them and pop them into the freezer. If you just want to store it in the fridge, take the seeds and pith out (I use a soup spoon to scrape them out) and then dust the cut side of the pumpkin with cornflour. It will keep in the fridge for weeks like this. Every time you cut a piece off dust the fresh cut with cornflour.
I'm still picking capsicums and eggplants, and freezing them for winter casseroles and stews. The basil is still going strong and I've been able to dry a bunch every couple of days; it smells amazing as it is drying and I can't wait to use it in my cooking.
The catnip has finally gone to seed. That means pulling the flower heads off and gently shaking them into a paper bag to collect the seed for next year. I use catnip to make a safe personal insect repellent, and it really works. It keeps mosquitoes and sand flies away, two summer pests that seem to love my arms and legs. Real catnip is hard to find, so growing it solves the problem for me. Next year though it is going into pots - it took over the garden bed and I'd rather use the space for food.
Well that's the condensed version of what I've been up to.
And now daylight saving has finished, I need to remember to get the washing off the line early! So, before it gets damp, I'd better go and bring it in. It will still be warm from the sun and fresh, ready to put straight away.
Your cards look amazing Cath. So beautiful. You've given me more ideas along with Annabel and Mr Google.
The cards are beautiful Cath! Wendy has been going so well on her cards as well.
I love knitted or crochet dish cloths. They are a lovely gift.
The pumpkins look amazing. I find pumpkin so useful... pumpkin scones maybe the favourite though.
Thank goodness pumpkins keep so well or I'd be beside myself thinking of ways to use them all up! My fave is roasted, then maybe soup. I use pumpkin (or sweet potato) mash in cakes - makes them so moist and cuts down on the fat needed.
I'll get through all those emails eventually! I've really enjoyed meeting so many new people, and it would be amazing if they could all learn to love living the Cheapskates way.
We have sunshine here again this morning, and it's my day off so I think we'll pack lunch and go for a drive somewhere nice for a picnic.
I don't watch a lot of TV so I missed you on A Current Affair. I wonder if the segment is accessible on the internet? I haven't tried freezing batches of biscuit dough but it sounds like such a good idea that I really want to give it a try some time.
Getting there Tina, one email at a time :) And thank you, I'm pretty pleased with these cards. I'm working on a special one at the moment, need to get a wriggle on to get it into the post tomorrow! I'll put up a pic next week, after it's been received (don't want to give the surprise away).

Somfy approached us to create an online trade competition. It would be driven by an extensive online portal and content management system. Sales reps would log in and register their sales to be in the running to win some—excuse my French—bloody good prizes…oh, oui oui!
The logo, as often the case, was the first thing designed. We wanted something fancy, even a bit tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top. We were allowed to have some fun with this one, and—as it was going to live online—we were able to give it more la-di-da details.
Originally we suggested different levels of detail, to give it more flexibility. For the website header, we offered the version you see above, with all the bells and whistles. Then we dropped the floral embellishments, lost the remote buttons and scaled back the gradients for a simpler version, which could be used on a business card or letterhead, for example.
It's not a bad idea to give your logo a few different "costumes" like this. This is similar to a web design concept called progressive enhancement/graceful degradation, where you build websites that take advantage of all the latest tools of modern browsers, while building simpler versions that work in the older browsers too.
The real beauty of the website is only available to those of you who sell Somfy Automated Blinds and Shutters.
There is a ton of code here to work out the calculations and administration of the Somfy Cup—this is the heart of the website. All the 'stuff' that makes it work…kind of like the engine to a car, we don't care how it works, just as long as it works well. So the real value of the website is also the most hidden, here is a quick squiz under the bonnet.
On top of all the awesome code, we used even more code to make the site look awesome (in err… browsers that accept W3C standards (sorry IE)) with CSS3 and jQuery.
The print collateral was an after-the-fact add on. Posters, DL flyers and press ads were all designed with the sole purpose of driving reps to the website. They flowed on from the chosen website design, so consistency and recognition would be there once people had logged on. The press ad had to follow another style.

relationship management -- to help organizations operate more effectively. Due to the importance and complexity of these systems to organizations, ERP has been one of the most high-stakes, difficult software systems to implement. To this point, addressing the cloud ERP vs. on-premises ERP vs. hybrid ERP question is critical when making a buying decision and needs to be based on an organization's strategic requirements rather than what's being hyped or is most popular.
Today, ERP systems are set up a few different ways. Modern ERP systems have expanded from their predecessors with capabilities encompassing more than just resource planning. Viewed in the past as monolithic systems that assisted with a limited set of business operations, ERP systems are now a collection of stand-alone or integrated components -- or a combination thereof -- that helps manage specific aspects of the enterprise.
ERP has three main deployment models: traditional on premises; in the cloud; and hybrid, a combination of the two. For clarification, cloud ERP is a term used to define hosting within a cloud infrastructure for fully licensed ERP software. Today, many people say "cloud ERP" but mean a subset of a cloud application called software as a service (SaaS) ERP. SaaS ERP is software that is owned and hosted off-site in the cloud by the provider but paid for on demand, i.e., as it is used. In summary, SaaS ERP is a type of cloud computing model, but not all cloud ERPs are necessarily SaaS.
Because SaaS is an increasingly popular model that stands in contrast to the traditional on-premises model, it can be helpful at the outset to understand specific facets of SaaS ERP when considering the cloud ERP vs. on-premises ERP question.
Here are seven considerations when choosing between a cloud and on-premises ERP system.
In a SaaS scenario, a third party manages software and data. Managed in-house, on-premises ERP systems require more IT staff and more associated costs. On the other hand, organizations have a higher degree of control over the systems and data with on-premises systems.
Most cloud ERP systems enable some personalization, letting the business configure the system to match the company's look and feel, such as including use of company logos. However, controlling true customization in terms of rewriting code can be much more limited, especially in multi-tenant systems. Minimizing customization can be beneficial to reducing ERP expenses and implementation delays but may also impact competitive advantage if IT cannot accommodate the unique functionality.
At some level, most on-premises and cloud ERP software systems offer integration due to the increasing needs of transferring data between applications. Cloud ERP systems tend to use application programming interfaces (APIs), which are tools to help ease integration. Using standard protocols or similar business ecosystems could lower the costs when compared to developing ad hoc integration software. This is why it is important to look at the different integration factors of cloud ERP vs. on-premises ERP.
With cloud-based ERP, integrations automatically carry forward when an application updates without additional investment. However, to upgrade on-premises ERP systems, IT has to reimplement various integrations that a company has installed on its previous software.
On-premises ERP vendors can develop specialized integration modules for customers that have specific data flow needs or existing infrastructure. Because most cloud ERP vendors use the SaaS model, they can't provide that same level of personalization.
Cloud-based ERP software generally receives more frequent updates than traditional systems. In some instances, updates occur monthly or even weekly. This has the added benefit of enabling businesses to remain compliant with changing industry and government regulations. However, with the SaaS model organizations aren't able to choose which upgrades they receive and when they occur.
When deployed, cloud applications can bring scalability to businesses with high growth and rapid expansion. While it is beneficial for any ERP to keep pace, repeated updates are not without their drawbacks -- e.g., companies have less flexibility when it comes to customizations. On-premises ERP customers can work with vendors to customize the software to meet their business requirements. With multi-tenant cloud ERP, enterprises likely won't be able to achieve the same advanced customizations as with on-premises ERP.
It's common to see traditional ERP products offering users mobile access that can assist with remote approvals, notifications and operational visibility. This can sometimes bring added complications for on-premises ERP software, especially if a third-party client is required to act as the link between mobile devices and the ERP system. Because of their web-based nature, many cloud ERP systems are natively mobile and come with standard mobile applications. Ease of mobility is a key difference when considering cloud ERP vs. on-premises ERP.
The need to protect critical data, such as corporate financials, employee details, customer account information and trade secrets, means that security remains an essential requirement when considering ERP software. In the past, organizations perceived cloud ERP systems to be widely susceptible to breaches, hacks and exploitation, especially when compared to their traditional on-premises counterparts. To give peace of mind, many cloud ERP vendors are touting encryption and use of additional safeguards built on platforms such as Amazon Web Services that have enhanced security protocols.
Another common concern with any ERP system is its inability to operate due to software, hardware and infrastructure malfunctions. Operational disruption can translate into hefty losses. Consider the cloud ERP system's need for internet access, especially for businesses with remote locations or areas with less reliable network connectivity. Equally as important is the overall performance dependability of the cloud ERP vendor that may have multiple redundancies and disaster recovery protocols in place to protect data.
On-premises ERP software is generally priced with a one-time, perpetual license and ongoing support fees, some of which may be negotiable. Cloud ERP systems take on subscription-based pricing models that are usually per month or per year. SaaS vendors can price their cloud applications based on a choice of multiple usage factors, such as the number of users, transactions, amount of data or other units of measure.
There are costs associated with any ERP system, whether it's in the cloud or on premises. However, SaaS ERP software has certain kinds of cost flexibility and different longer-term costs to consider. The differences are important when looking at cloud ERP vs. on-premises ERP.
Setup -- Organizations don't have to pay for setup or installation with cloud-based ERP. However, they will invest a considerable amount of money -- and time -- installing on-premises ERP software. In addition, with on-premises ERP systems, companies are required to make large upfront and ongoing investments to buy and manage the software, as well as the hardware, servers, facilities and IT staff necessary to run and maintain it.
Enterprises that opt for on-premises ERP systems often have to pay again for any future updates. With SaaS, on the other hand, updates come as part of the subscription at no extra cost.
Customization -- On-premises ERP is generally more customizable but requires time and the expense of additional hardware and possible downtime. Although cloud ERP systems are less expensive and faster to customize, on-premises ERP systems work best for companies that need extensive or unique customizations.
Data -- With on-premises, as well as cloud ERP, enterprises will most likely have to invest the same amount of money and time to move their data to the new system.
Support -- Cloud ERP support is less expensive than on-premises support, since the cloud ERP support is online and included in the subscription price. Additionally, with on-premises software, organizations might have to pay for on-site IT to ensure that the software is functioning properly.
Which ERP software does your company prefer based on its needs?

Woman woke up after brain tumour surgery with no recollection of Covid
Added by celex on 2022年1月15日
'I woke up in a pandemic I knew nothing about': Woman, 50, came-to from brain tumour surgery during June 2020 lockdown with NO memory of Covid – and no idea why 'my head was completely shaved and doctors came at me with swabs and masks'
Karen Eggleston, 50, awoke in King's College Hospital, London, with no memory
She had suffered a seizure at home and went into cardiac arrest in June 2020
When she finally came to, doctors told her she had a benign growth in her brain
Karen's last definitive memory was of November 2019, over seven months prior
A woman who woke up from brain tumour surgery during the June 2020 lockdown has revealed she lost all memory of the previous seven months, including the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
When Karen Eggleston finally awoke in King's College Hospital, London, she was shocked find she had a completely shaved head and asked why doctors were rushing over to her with swabs and masks.
The 50-year-old consultant, originally from Westerham in Kent, had suffered a seizure at home and went into cardiac arrest in June 2020, flatlining for 10 minutes.
After completing brain scans to check the cause of her medical episode, it was discovered that she had a brain tumour.
She spent a week in a coma after doctors worked to remove a grade one olfactory groove meningioma – a benign growth in the cranial cavity between the brow and nose – which needed surgery to remove.
But when she finally came-to, her last memory was of an argument with her then partner of 10 years during November 2019 – leaving her mind completely blank of the turmoil of the start of Covid, lockdowns and Britain's winter election in 2019.
She likened her experience to the start of a 'John Wyndham science-fiction novel', having felt like she was dropped into the middle of a pandemic she 'knew nothing about'.

When Ms Eggleston awoke a week after having a craniotomy, she had no memory of the seven months leading up to her collapse, including the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She said: 'In early November 2019 I remember going to bed not feeling very well after having had an argument with my then partner of 10 years and was roused by a voice saying: "Take it easy, you've had a head trauma".
'To my surprise it was 10 June 2020.
'I was in Kings College Hospital, London, and really didn't know what was going on. My eyesight had been affected and I was struggling to see and finding everything really confusing.
'I had a complete memory blank of the previous seven months, no recollection at all.
'It was like waking up at the start of a John Wyndham novel in the middle of a pandemic I knew nothing about, with everyone coming at me with swab sticks and wearing masks, and my head completely shaved having previously had really long hair.'
'Intruder' accused of murdering two pensioners 'posed as a… Was anyone NOT partying? Ex-head of COVID TASKFORCE says…
The organisational development consultant, from Westerham, Kent, also found herself completely blind in her left eye, visually impaired in her right eye, suffering confusion and hallucinations and restrained for her own safety.
She said: 'People refer to life events as feeling like they've had the carpet ripped out from under them; well, I'd lost the carpet, the floor and everything else beneath me.'
As well as coping with her new physical limitations, Karen, a mum-of-one, also had to deal with the fallout from the personality changes she had experienced before the discovery of her tumour, including the breakdown of her relationship.
She said: 'My biggest heartbreak was finding out my fiancé didn't even want to talk to me.
'It's a shock because my behaviour came out of the blue but I've had to go through the grief of a relationship break-up as well as everything else, without knowing what happened.
'The personality change and how it's impacted my life is hard to accept; all I can do is say I'm sorry for my behaviour during that time and explain that it wasn't me, it was my brain tumour.'
She likened her experience to the start of a 'John Wyndham science-fiction novel', having felt like she was dropped into the middle of a pandemic she 'knew nothing about'. Pictured: Ms Eggleston pictured today outside hospital
Although part of her tumour had to be left in, it is thought that removing the rest of it cut off its blood supply and, with the three radiotherapy sessions she had after, it seems to have disappeared, with the news that she was 'all-clear' coming just before Christmas.
Now with annual scans to stay on top of her health and having returned to full-time employment, Karen has turned her attention to helping others and is working with Brain Tumour Research to raise awareness of the disease that ripped her life apart.
She said: 'I want to do what I can to help raise awareness of brain tumours as well as raise funds towards researching the disease so fewer people will have to face having their lives turned upside down, like mine.'
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Charlie Allsebrook, community development manager for Brain Tumour Research, said: 'Karen went through a terrible ordeal leading up to the discovery of her brain tumour and has had to make a lot of adjustments since but continues to show great resilience and determination.
'We welcome her support and look forward to her involvement in future fundraisers as we continue to fund vital research into brain tumours.'

We are pleased to announce the 1st Regional Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Policy Forum. The forum will take place on September 27-28, 2017 at the Cairo Marriott Hotel, Cairo, Egypt.
The forum will be held with the objective of fulfilling an unmet need among countries of the region, to raise awareness and improve their capacity regarding the concepts of HTA. The ultimate goal would be that countries in the region embrace and develop an appropriate HTA policy, in their progress towards Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC), and as a basis for decision making to improve the efficiency of their systems and the health outcomes of their population.
The Forum will convene participants from the MENA region, representing health sector multi stakeholders from state and non-state sectors including: decision makers, academia, economists, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare workers, international organizations, NGOs and investors working in the health sector to ensure full representation.


What do James Bond, medieval towers, and grapes have in common? Almost nothing. However, I recently discovered that all of them have a common link with the beautiful Italian region of Tuscany.
If there's one stop I wanted to make on our two-week, whirlwind tour through Italy, it was Tuscany. It may surprise you that my vision of Italy never included the Leaning of Tower of Pisa, piles of homemade spaghetti, or even the iconic Colosseum. Blame my hopeless addiction to cheesy rom-coms, but when I envisioned Italy, I saw the rolling hills of Tuscany or feasting on rustic farm bread and wine, all while soaking up the Tuscan sun with a handsome stranger.
Substitute the stranger for my equally gorgeous husband and you have one of the best days of our trip. With only one day to spare, we knew that to make the most of our time in Tuscany we would need a knowledgeable guide and a mode of transportation. Enter our friends at Walks of Italy. Thanks to them, we were able to fit in all the romance, history, and food for which Tuscany is famous.
Our day started with an early pickup in a wonderfully air-conditioned van (complete with Wi-Fi, a blogger's dream). Giulia, our guide for the day, introduced herself and laid out our itinerary. We had an entire day to explore Tuscany, but first, we had to make a stop to bid a quick farewell to our departure city of Florence. Piazzale Michelangelo in the city's Oltrarno district is the place to go for a stunning photo op of Firenze (as the locals call it).
A winding road lined with cypress trees led us to our first stop in the medieval town of Siena. The town is known for its Romanesque architecture and revered Palio run. The latter is a cherished tradition of horse racing that happens twice a year. This event was even featured in the opening scenes of the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. To outsiders, it may look like a spirited testament of a horse's ability, but the bloodlines of this event run deeper.
We learned that Siena is divided into 17 different neighborhoods or contrade. Each one is equipped with its own colors, mascot, and coat of arms. The Palio is essentially a face-off between horses from each of the rivaling Siena contrade. The winner of the event takes home the coveted title of victor until the next year. Our guide Giulia had proudly married into the "goose" contrada and scoffed when I pointed out that I liked the white, black, and orange coat of arms from the "she-wolf" district.
Viewfinder Tip: Look down while inside the Siena cathedral—the intricate mosaic floors might be the most stunning part of the interior.
After we hoofed around the piazza where the Palio takes place, we headed toward the Siena duomo. This medieval cathedral might be a stunner on the outside, but the true beauty lies within. The gorgeous frescoes, marbled columns, and detailed sculptures could have entertained me for hours, but the true treasure of the cathedral is its Piccolomini Library. The giant manuscripts looked like they belonged in a fairytale, and art aficionados would be enchanted by the detailed and preserved frescoes.
Siena could have taken up the entirety of our day, but we knew there was more to see. We saddled up, back in the van, and headed toward the walled medieval town of San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We only had an hour to take in the town, but it was just enough time to grab a much-needed espresso and explore the two things the town is known for: its towers and its gelato.
The city's famous commanding towers were originally erected as a sign of status and wealth. Once, over 70 towers dotted the landscape. Today, the 13 towers that remain have been transformed into apartments or shops.
There was one shop in the middle of the town square that caught my eye. The long line and towering cones of gelato were a tip-off that we were in the midst of greatness—the acclaimed Gelateria Dondoli. A quick scan of the gelateria's unique flavors left no doubt of its claim to multiple titles from the Ice Cream World Championship (yes, that's real). Mouthwatering flavor combinations like the Champelmo (pink grapefruit and sparkling wine) and Rosemary Baby® (raspberry and rosemary) had me drooling. There was even one that was gorgonzola-and-walnut flavored. Since lunch was coming up, I attempted to be responsible and foolishly turned down a scoop of this famous gelato. It might be a mistake that I regret for the rest of my life (or at least until my return visit to Tuscany).
All of that exploration worked up quite the appetite and I welcomed our next stop at the Tenuta Casanova farm. Rita and Silvano's beautiful home and organic farm is nestled on a hillside just minutes from San Gimignano. The couple graciously gave us a tour of their vineyards and introduced us to their "pets" including bees and wild boars.
It wasn't long before we were ushered to the cellars to see how grapes were fermented and transformed into precious wines and balsamic vinegars. Silvano let us taste our way through the fermentation process as he poured multiple glasses of the incredible Chianti for which the region is known, and wooed us over several samplings of aged balsamic (one was even older than me). Give me a loaf of bread and free reign over the balsamic vinegar and I could have stayed in the cellar all afternoon. It was only the promise of lunch (and more aged vinegar) that lured me from the tasting room.
Our first course was a personal platter of local cheese, warm homemade bread, and honey. We were also served heaping portions of rustic beans and a beautiful and refreshing caprese salad. Truth be told, I was already a little full after the first course, but we enjoyed a second course of Parma ham with a side of truffle-laden scrambled eggs. The pièce de résistance was incredible lasagna. It was nothing like the Stouffer's frozen stuff that we're used to in the United States, but instead consisted of handmade pasta, fresh organic tomatoes, and the creamiest of béchamel sauces. Each course was obviously paired with a glass of wine.
Dessert was smooth vanilla gelato served with our choice of aged balsamic vinegar. I wouldn't have thought to top my ice cream with vinegar, but aged 30 years, the balsamic was more like delicate syrup. I could not get enough.
While it would have been ideal to spend an entire week eating and exploring our way through Tuscany, both my liver and my already-too-tight clothes were grateful that we fit in as much as we did in one day. That being said, I look forward to our return and a taste of that famous San Gimignano gelato.
If you only had one day in a city, which city would you choose?
