In the Mahayana traditions the bodhisattva path is presented as the ideal to which all should aspire. Sometimes referred to as the Great Being.

This aspect of a Bodhisattva is undertaken during ordination by reciting the Bodhisattva Vow.

Council (Buddhists): the 2nd council was held at Vaisali about one hundred years after the death of the Buddha. It is believed this Council was convened to clarify some of the primary principles and practices between the various schools, but the chief points of controversy that led to the convening of the council seem not to have been resolved. The 3rd Council is said to have been held at Pataliputra under the patronage of King Asoka that finally set the major Buddhist principles and practices, with some variations, that we encounter in our contemporary Buddhist thought. However, the historicity of this council has been questioned by modern scholars. There are an additional three more world councils, the last one was held by the Theravada school in Rangoon in 1954 & 1956. The Pali canon was edited and recited with discrepancies among versions in the various scripts noted and corrected to conform to Theravada expectations.

Eightfold Path: One of the basic formulations of the Buddhist path to enlightenment which is comprised of eight characteristics for developing human flourishing. They are encompassing and corrected view, intention, speech, conduct, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, concentration. While view separately, they are also to be considered as a single body-mind formation.
Four Noble Truths: The term "noble" refers not to the truths themselves, but to those who understand them. While the truths are simple to understand by the simple language used to describe them, they are deep and point directly to all Buddhist thought. All Buddhist principles and practices are a direct action inherent in these four truths. It is the first teaching of the Buddha, and is referred to as the "first turning of the dharma wheel." In summary, the truths are: inherent in life there is suffering, this suffering has an origin, suffering can be ceased, and the path out of suffering is eightfold. A major key in understanding Buddhist thought is to awaken to the lessons BETWEEN the four truths. Rather then consider this primary teaching as truths, it is more practical to consider them as realities.

Jataka Tales: a set of prose and verses including the Jataka collection. Authorship is traditionally attributed to Buddhaghosa, and most written prior to the birth of the Buddha. Over time the tales were described in Buddhist terms teaching moral and ethical lessons, generally for children. The themes, however, are adult in nature.
karma: the universal law of cause and effect, linking an action's underlying intention to that action's consequences; it equates the actions of body, speech, and thought as potential sources of karmic consequences. Karma has no value until one gives it value.
Kesa: a patchwork robe worn by a monk that represents his ordained status within a monastic order. The number of pieces represent their monastic rank.

logic: while the term is a common English one, in Buddhism it is used to refer in general to the system of reasoning developed by Dignaga and Dharmakirti that sets forth the elements of correct reasoning resulting in inference. Logic is the aspect of the analytical and rational part of the mind beyond everyday automatic thinking, and is the part of the mind that is focused on during mindful meditation in order to promote the experience of awakened moments. These moments go beyond the experience of the ordinary reasoning process. We practice to get ready for these experiences.
Mahayana: in Sanskrit the term means "great vehicle" which is used historically to refer to a movement that began some four centuries after the Buddha's death, marked by the composition of texts that purported to be the Buddha's words. While there are many schools and traditions that are Mahayana in their foundational teaching, they also vary by the inclusion of other texts and legacy teachings. Ch'an, Soto Zen, and Tibetan Buddhism are Mahayana for example. A primary aspect of Mahayana traditions is the acceptance of the Bodhisattva Ideal, and incorporate the Bodhisattva Vow into their ordination ritual.
mala: in Sanskrit and Pali the term means "garland" and is a string of beads usually held in the right hand and used for counting the recitations of mantras. The number of beads is generally 108. This number represents the 18 elements and the 6 sense bases or objects. Thus 18 X 6 = 108

During his life time he remained silent on the subject of rebirth, and taught that the importance of the Four Noble Truths for the developed of human flourishing was more important than metaphysical thoughts that could not be directly experienced.

sutra or sutta: a discourse, sermon or scripture said to be delivered by the Buddha or delivered with his sanction. A term probably used originally to refer to sayings of the Buddha that were preserved orally by his followers. This may be why the sutras almost always begin with the phrase "Thus I have here". Sutras should be read with caution, and for the task of find the lesson they are pointing too, and not taken as a literal word of the Buddha. Many of the sutras contradict each other, for example. It becomes a challenge as they should never be taken literally. The Buddha often agreed with his questioner before be skillfully moved to given another interpretation of the subject of the lesson.

Computers at public schools in Waterloo region will be obtaining far better computer software to manage what students can see on the internet. Given that the early 1980s, the number of computer systems in American schools has elevated steadily, from only 250,000 in 1983 to 8.6 million in 1998 (see Figure 2). In 1983, almost half of the nation's schools had no computer systems at all by 1998, all schools had been equipped with at least a single computer, as have been nearly half of all classrooms.
I feel that these teachers comments are quite crucial when searching at the problem of computer systems in the classrooms, simply because these are the people that actually interact with the young children in the classroom, they are not just some random study study by a software program business, these individuals are the true factor, and they see how computers are effecting their classrooms.
In the TLC-1998 survey, 60% of all English teachers, and about 40% of each science and social studies teachers, had their students use computers for word processing for the duration of class time (see Table two).11 Amongst these who created word processing assignments, most produced such assignments really frequently—at least 10 times in the course of the year.
Relatedly, computer systems are not however an integrated portion of the college curriculum, and every single college and teacher re-invents the wheel, trying to uncover good application, attempting to operate out how to fit it into the classroom curriculum, attempting to function out schedules to make confident each and every student gets a fair go, struggling with the lack of technical support.
If low-achieving classes are to knowledge a lot more possibilities to operate with complex software applications, teachers will need to have time and practice to develop approaches for employing such software program effectively otherwise, low-attaining classes are probably to continue utilizing computers mostly for far more narrowly focused drill-and-practice workouts.


From the ancient times Japanese people were in harmony with nature. This is obviously seen in every sphere of life. Clothing, dishes, utensils, traditions and all things are full of nature elements, that is to say, this can only be perceptible by Japanese people.
One of the modern forms of Japanese leisure is «isolation from civilization». Currently this means visiting «onsen» hot springs. This is the most wonderful place with modern facilities where people can feel the close connection to nature.
In European culture «onsen» is a hot spring which is considered to be baths, massages, skin masks, therapy and other healthy services. This is usually the same as European fitness complexes. The differentiating feature of Japanese hot springs is that they are of nature origin. This is obvious from the word «onsen».
Usually hot springs are located completely in isolated places, far from modern mega policies. They are located close to the forests, mountains and lakes. «Onsen» is a hot spring pushed out under the ground. There are ryokan Japanese style hotels near the all hot springs. These hotels help people to feel the full connection with nature. Here everything complies with one entire objective, that is, the connection from the rest up to the nature. The classic scene from hotel window is the sea, mountains and the forest.
In some springs the connection with civilized world is very conditional. For instance, in«Aoni onsen» spring, located in Aomori prefecture, there is no electricity at all. The building is lit with kerosene lamps. Of course, there is no mobile phone connection, too. In winter people have to sit snow-mobiles in order to get the nearest Kuroishi city. Moreover, the mountainous regions are covered with 5metre snow-layer. In these hotels bushes and roots typical to this season are served during supper. They are gathered from nearby surroundings. The hotels serve also fish hunted several hours ago near the mountainous river. Accordingly, the river murmur and the light of kerosene lamps make the surrounding to be in unique with medieval atmosphere. All of these are the differentiating specifications, importance and features of springs. Moreover, every year a lot of tourists come here from central cities of the country.
Every spring is registered and certificated. A sheet is posted in a visible corner where people can see the minerals dissolved in water, using instructions and other intricate effects. Usually people with weak heart and high blood pressure are not allowed to visit hot springs. Springs are of different temperature, different minerals and of different concentrations. Many healing springs, the so-called «toji-no-yado», are famous with their healthy features not only in Japan, but outside the country borders, too. For example Tamagavwa spring in Akita prefecture has hydrochloric acid dissolution. It is famous place where cancer can be treated. Here a lot of people come from different corners of the world. The spring is so active that throwing a steel table knife into the water and keeping it there about 12 hours then the knife will completely be corroded. Accordingly, it needs to stay into the water not more than 3-4 minutes.
However, Japanese people go hot springs mainly for having a rest. They try to overcome the fatigue and enjoy nature. There are also special tours for visiting 5-6 springs of different regions of the country.
A visit to hot spring is a real ceremony with a special attitude. Accordingly, breaking this attitude is completely unpleasant phenomenon. Hot spring is a social place where people have a rest far away from big noisy cities. Actually, noisy conversations, water games are strictly prohibited. Before entering the spring water it needs to have a bath. It doesn't need to make a noise in spring or to swim or sink into the water with noise. The above mentioned attitude will disturb the rest of the others who come here and enjoy nature.
Currently visiting hot springs is accepted not only by Japanese people, but by foreigners, too. A lot of hotels or ryokans have foreign staff in order properly serve the tourists.

Q: How can I refactor this code and apply OO patterns? I have four RichTable instances in my class and there is a notion of current table instance  . Depending on a flag resetAll I need to clear out selections of either all the tables or all tables except the current one . If resetAll is true then clear out everything , otherwise leave out the current one . The index of the current table is passed as a parameter to the method that does the clean up action.
The call for clearing out everything looks like this :
clearSubTypeSettings(true,-1);

The call for clearing all but the current one looks like this :
clearSubTypeSettings(true, col);

The implementation of the above method is this :
private void clearSubTypeSettings(boolean resetAll, int exceptControl) {
    if (!resetAll) {
        clearAllExceptCurrent(exceptControl);
    } else {
        clearAll();
    }
 }

Now these two methods clearAllExceptCurrent(exceptControl) and  clearAll() look almost the same . Here are the implementations :
  private void clearAll() {
        for (int i = 0; i < SUBTYPE_TABLES; i++)
            if (getSubTypeTable(i).getSelectedRowKeys() != null) {
                RichTable richTable = getSubTypeTable(i);
                RowKeySet rowkeySet = richTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
                rowkeySet.clear();
                AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(richTable);
            }
    }

And
private void clearAllExceptCurrent(int exceptControl) {
    for (int i = 0; i < SUBTYPE_TABLES; i++)
        if (i != exceptControl && getSubTypeTable(i).getSelectedRowKeys() != null) {
            RichTable richTable = getSubTypeTable(i);
            RowKeySet rowkeySet = richTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
            rowkeySet.clear();
            AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(richTable);
        }
}

I feel like I am writing duplicate redundant code here and will complicate maintenance in future . How can I improve this code and make it more object oriented  ?

A: You can let clearAll() delegate (=> OOP pattern) to clearAllExceptCurrent() (=> improve code by removing duplicated code, make it more maintainable):
private void clearAll() {
   clearAllExceptCurrent(-1);
}

The only difference between your two methods is the condition i != exceptControl in clearAllExceptCurrent(). By passing -1 this condition is always true and therefore effectively non-existent.

A: The bulk of the repeated code is the bit that clears the table.  So how about:
private void clearTable(int id) {
    if (getSubTypeTable(i).getSelectedRowKeys() != null) {
        RichTable richTable = getSubTypeTable(i);
        RowKeySet rowkeySet = richTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
        rowkeySet.clear();
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(richTable);
    }
}

Then:
 private void clearAll() {
    for (int i = 0; i < SUBTYPE_TABLES; i++) {
        clearTable(i);
    }
 }

private void clearAllExceptCurrent(int exceptControl) {
    for (int i = 0; i < SUBTYPE_TABLES; i++) {
        if (i != exceptControl) {
            clearTable(i)
        }
    }
}

EDIT: Moved if statement inside clearTable

Posted on February 14, 2022 by wtjhsdemo
Zoom presentation by Jill Taylor, Restoration Architect
Jill Taylor co-founded Taylor Hazell Architects (THA) with Charles Hazell in 1992. The firm relocated to the Junction in November 2021, after purchasing and renovating the landmark William Speers Building at 2928 Dundas Street West.
Jill's talk will be about the inspiration for her work, the importance of interdisciplinarity and humanities in architecture, and the firm's hopes for activism in heritage preservation in the West Toronto Junction.
Jill has been an architect since 1991, with a specialization in in the heritage field, as a courthouse designer, a designer of educational and cultural institutions, and in facility planning and programming. Prior to private practice she worked for the Ontario Heritage Trust. She is a highly regarded member of the heritage conservation field, and has served as Chair of ICOMOS Canada Committees, Chair of the Conservation Review Board of Ontario, President of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals, and served on committees related to government policy including on the Ontario Building Code. She has lectured for the National Trust, RAIC, Ontario Association of Architects, at international round tables and at the college and university level on issues of heritage, sustainability and accessibility.
Prior to architecture, Jill studied Art History and Literature at the University of Toronto; she is a graduate of U of T, where she studied from 1976- 1982.
Jill believes that the future of our land, water, cities and towns depends on urgent action now to sustain the valued natural and built environment.
She has worked on heritage projects across Ontario that have integrated pure conservation of interior and exteriors of buildings with the adaptive reuse of spaces for modern use. She has a deep regard for the work of past architects, crafts people and labourers, and sees the imperative of sustaining good materials and techniques as a path to understanding a sustainable world. She is also an advocate of accessibility to heritage places, and facing the challenges that alteration within a heritage environment means for just access for all. Projects of note include, the Osgoode Hall Courthouse and Toronto Courthouse, Dundurn Castle and Conference Centre, the Humber College, Humber Arboretum, Jones Avenue School Reconstruction and York Memorial Collegiate Institute Reconstruction, and the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. She was a co-author of the City of Toronto Official Plan, Heritage Section 3.1.5.
She is proud of an award-winning video available on the THA website called, Rolling with Rollo, a short documentary on barriers to access. www.taylorhazell.com.

President David Granger addressing Guyana Defence Force soldiers at D'urban Park at the end of their route march on Saturday. At left, is GDF Chief-of-Staff, Brigadier George Lewis.
Chief-of-Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Brigadier George Lewis and President David Granger on Sunday said further measures are being taken to crackdown on criminal activities across the country with increased aerial surveillance and ground operations.
Addressing troops at D'urban Park at the end of a rout march to mark the end of the army's 51st anniversary celebration, Lewis said the GDF has "increased our operational posture" to secure Guyana's territory.
"We have seen an increase two-fold of border patrols. We have also increased our surveillance of the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) with patrols every two weeks. Those patrols would have contributed significantly to reducing criminal activities both at sea and on land," he said. Government has already noted that there has been a significant decline in the number of pirate attacks against fishermen.
Guyana has 3,0o0 kilometres of land border with neighbouring Guyana, Brazil and Suriname and 450 kilometres of coastline.
The GDF, he said, has pledged to provide public safety and security to Guyana, even as its members are being trained internally, locally and overseas in life-skills and other areas.
Speaking with media representatives after addressing the soldiers who participated in the Route March, President Granger reiterated that there is perception of increased criminal activities and since then several measures have been implemented. They include more mounted police in Black Bush Polder, reduction in the number of firearms and more recently increased foot patrols. "We have been making a lot of progress in preventing other forms of violence by limiting the amount of firearms, by ensuring there are more foot patrols and in fact on the 15th of November, the police force launched a patrol so there will be more boots on the ground between the 15th of November and the 15th of January just to keep you safe," he said.
There are almost daily armed robberies, several of which are not disclosed to the media by the Guyana Police Force.

In his remarks to the troops, the Commander-in-Chief praised the GDF for their role in preserving Guyana's sovereignty and territorial integrity. "Guyana would have been a different place had it not been for the GDF. It was the GDF, which over the last five decades protected the territorial integrity and the sovereignty of our nation. The Defence Force, together with our diplomats, form the bulwark, form the shield that you will ensure that the country that we inherited is passed on to posterity," he said.

1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereign
Uncirculated and rare as such
Private Collection Perth
Sold December 2021
If Australian collectors needed a reminder about the potency of the Perth Mint's gold coin rarities, they certainly got it at the recent Zurich auction. A Perth Mint Proof 1901 Sovereign fetched a dazzling record price, nearly double that of a comparable Melbourne Mint proof. The coin offered here, the 1918 Half Sovereign, is yet another of the Perth Mint's great coin rarities that commands respect and attracts solid interest. Particularly in the quality offered here. It is an important coin on many fronts. Australia struck its last half sovereign in 1918, this coin marking the end of an era. Enhancing its popularity further, it is extremely rare. Respected numismatic author, Greg McDonald, contends that only 200 to 300 pieces are available to collectors. In summary. This 1918 Half Sovereign is important. Premium quality at Uncirculated. A world-class rarity. A product of the Perth Mint. And available at $15,000. Excellent buying! The technical shots shown below re-affirm the quality of this stunning coin.
The 1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereign is an enigma. It is the coin that according to Perth Mint records was never struck.
Now, that's a story we have heard before.
The 1930 Penny is yet another Australian coin rarity that according to its mint of origin, the Melbourne Mint, was also never struck.
In both cases the mystery surrounding their striking has added to their appeal, underpinning collector demand.
The first appearance of a 1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereign occurred in 1967 and was noted in the then industry magazine, 'The Australian Coin Review'.
Inspired by the coin's first sighting, collectors commenced searching. And over the ensuing years, a few more 1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereigns trickled their way out into the market place.
The extreme rarity of the 1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereign challenged historians and numismatists to come up with a plausible reason for the minuscule mintage.
Extensive research was undertaken on die usage at the Perth Mint in 1918 and in the years thereafter. The conclusion was that a mintage of half sovereigns was struck in 1919 and again in 1920 - using the dies dated 1918 - all of which was exported overseas with the majority assumed melted down.
The 1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereign is a stand-alone rarity. Its a key coin - the rarest date - in the George V Half Sovereign Series.
But it also is an important date in our entire Half Sovereign series (1855 to 1918) for Australia struck its last half sovereign in 1918.
The first Australian half sovereign to depict the portrait of George V was dated 1911. The last half sovereign to depict his portrait was dated 1918.
A complete collection of George V Half Sovereigns involves nine coins.
1911 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign
1915 Melbourne Mint Half Sovereign
It is a relatively easy collection to put together. Except for one coin. That being the very last coin in the series and the most elusive, the 1918 Perth Mint Half Sovereign. This coin.
The 'P' mintmark above the date clearly denotes this coin as a Perth Mint striking.
The 1918 Half Sovereign was the very last Australian Half Sovereign, marking the end of an era. A world class rarity, the coin features the portrait of King George V.

Im April konnten Funding Circle und Zopa kräftig zulegen und belegen nun Platz 1 und 2. Auxmoney kann im April einen neuen Rekord von 22,2 Millionen vermittelten Krediten aufweisen. Ein besonders schnelles Wachstum in den letzten Monaten ist bei Thin Cats und Linked Finance zu beobachten.
Im April 2015 konnten P2P Plattformen etwas weniger Kreditvolumen vermitteln als noch im März. P2B Plattformen, also Plattformen die Kredite an Unternehmen vermitteln, konnten zulegen.
Plattformen die ausschliesslich besicherte Kredite vermitteln, haben im April deutlich weniger Kredite vermittelt als noch im Vormonat. Kreditmarktplätze die unbesicherte Kredite vermitteln, konnten einen Wachstum von 25% gegenüber dem Vormonat erreichen.
Alle Währungen wurden in Euro umgerechnet.
Sorry über die Sprache , ich benutze Google Übersetzen Englisch .
Trustbuddy ist zum zweiten Mal auf der Liste und Berichte in durchschnittliche Rendite von 13% , die nicht mit "Baltic " Grafschaften Plattformen verglichen wird , aber ist besser als deutsche.
Haben Sie eine Meinung über sie , irgendwelche Pläne ?
Ich habe gerade mit Bondora begonnen hätte ich aber gern Risiken auf verschiedene Regionen der EU zu diversifizieren und so bedenkt sie .
I do not invest in Trustbuddy, because there you can not choose in which loans you want to invest. You have to transfer money and Trustbuddy will decide in which loans they invest your money. You became an fixed interest rate. It was 12% p.a. recently. Trustbuddy have no transparency. So I do not plan to invest in Trustbuddy.
You can try Mintos in Latvia. But be careful because they are not not yet regulated in their country.
In this year a few new Platforms will start. So if you wait maybe there are any interesting Platforms.
I am really impressed with your return rates but that´s a top league for me :-). This skill has to be mastered so meanwhile having hedged sth at a rate of 10% without the need to follow up sounds good enough for me. So most probably I will put sth there and will share my results.
Thanks for pointing to Mintos. So far browsing around there are only good references about them. At the same time they are very young so track record is not very proven.
In general my main doubt is the number of p2p services in Baltic countries and their high interest rates. It is great from one side, from another not sure why there they are growing like mushrooms after a rain but in the rest of the Europe it is not that active (especially for foreign investors). Well, it is also true that UK is very active. So maybe it is due to their "open" mind and good tech community (but one can say the say about Germany :-)).
If you can share your opinion on this topic would be great as based on your portfolio your main focus are these Baltic region platforms.
FYI. In your last two tables you have a copy-paste typo in the column name: it talks about March while should be April I guess.
It would be great if you can share your results in the future with Trustbuddy and contact me. Maybe I can write an article about your experience with Trustbuddy.
Yes, in the baltics countries there are many p2p services. If they dont expand abroad they will not grow.
I think the interest rates in the baltics will not stay so high in the next years. The interest rates already fallen.
At Bondora it is very difficult to get a good Estonian loan with high interest rates.
For me it is there are 3 main risks to invest in P2P services. First the geopolitical situation in the country of the services. This risk is actual a little bit increased because we now the situation with russia that the countries are near russia.
The second risk is the Platform risk. Several factors play a role. The age of the service, the total amount they lent.
The third risk is the regulation in the country that thay lend. In Latvia and Lithuania this risk is very high. In Lithuania they close some P2P Platforms because of the regulation.
So 12% interest rate is not the same in every country when you calculate the risks.
I think the rest of Europe is not that active for foreign investors because the interest rates there are much lower as in the Baltics. The interest is not so high from foreign investors. In German Platforms at best you can earn only 4-6% before taxes. It is even possible to have an negative return because of the low interest rates.
The time will tell if p2p lending will grow in full Europa or only in UK so strongly.


Since 1973, the CPIM program has educated more than 90,000 manufacturing professionals on essential terminology, concepts, and strategies related to demand management, procurement and supplier planning, material requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, sales and operations planning, master scheduling, performance measurements, supplier relationships, quality control, and continuous improvement.
CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management)은 1973년 APICS (American Production & Inventory Control Society)가 정보화 시대에 적합한 새로운 생산 및 재고관리 분야의 전문지식을 기업의 구성원 들에게 보급하기 위해 만들어진 국제 자격증이다.
CPIM 취득을 위한 응시과목은 1973년에 Forecasting과 Inventory Management 두 과목이었으나, 현재에는 BSCM(Basics of Supply Chain Management), MPR(Master Planning of Resources), DSP(Detailed Scheduling and Planning), ECO(Execution and Control of Operation), SMR(Strategic Management of Resources) 등 5과목으로 확대되어 응시가 이루어 지고 있다.
CPIM 자격인증 시험은 현재 40 여개국에서 CBT와 PBT 두 가지 형태로 전 세계적으로 실시되고 있으며, 약 75,000여명의 CPIM들이 기업전략 수립 및 분석, 생산 및 자재계획 수립, 물류관리, 공급망 관리, 전사적 자원관리 및 시스템 구축 등의 다양한 생산 및 운영분야에서 활동하고 있다. 국내에서는 1990년 중반 ERP 도입과 함께 기업 및 경영학, 산업공학 전공자들이 이 자격증에 관심을 갖게 되었으며, 현재 삼성 전자, LG CNS, 현대 자동차 등의 기업에서는 자체적인 교육 프로그램에 따라 CPIM를 교육, 양성하고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 KPICS(한국조직자원관리협회)에서 한국에서 이루어지는 자격시험과 관련한 업무를 관리하고 있으며, 2008년 3월 현재 약 2,100 여명이 APICS를 통해 CPIM으로 인증받은 것으로 알려져 있다.
APICS(American Production and Inventory Control Society, 미국 생산 및 재고관리 학회)는 생산관리 및 기업운영 관련한 이론, 기법 관리방법을 체계적으로 정리하고 이를 통해 보다 효율적인 기업운영을 위한 방법론을 제시하고자, 1957년에 설립된 미국의 대표적인 SCM 관련 학회이다. 1963년 국제조직으로 발전하였으며, 현재 미국내 여러 지부와 함께, 한국, 영국, 호주 등 전세계 다양한 지역에 50여개의 지부(Chapter)를 두고 관련분야에서 MRP(Material Requirement Planning), JIT(Just In Time), CIM(Computer Integrated Manufacturing), MRPII(Manufacturing Resource Planning), ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) 등을 주제로 교육, 출판, 자격인증 등의 다양한 활동을 꾸준히 펼치고 있다. 아울러, 생산 및 재고관리 분야 전문가들에 대한 해당분야 전문성 향상을 위해 CPIM(Certified Production & Inventory Management)을 인증하고 있다.

Once again, the No.1 spots on the ARIA singles and albums charts remain blissfully unchanged. But there's plenty happening in the 99 spots below each, so let's kick on and find out what's happening.
It's a third successive week at No.1 for Ariana Grande and her new single 'Thank U, Next'. No doubt the track's time in the sunshine will continue over the next seven days, with the reveal of the official video overnight.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are steady in the No.2 position with 'Shallow' (still no certification update from Universal, however), while George Ezra's 'Shotgun' improves from No.4 to No.3 at the expense of Halsey's 'Without Me' (No.3 to No.4). No doubt that'll have something to do with him being on ground this week and performing the track at Wednesday night's ARIA Awards.
There's not much change elsewhere in this week's top ten. But again, thanks to an ARIAs performance and some time on-ground, Rita Ora's latest single 'Let You Love Me' finally cracks the Aussie top ten, jumping four spots to No.8.
There's also another gain for the Ava Max single 'Sweet But Psycho', which improves from No.22 to No.13 and is on track for a top ten berth next week on current trajectory.
The superstar pairing of Calvin Harris and Sam Smith scores the week's first certification; their former top five smash 'Promises' cracking over the double platinum mark, for sales in excess of 140,000 units (No.13 to No.16).
Lukas Graham pushes towards the top 20 with 'Love Someone' (No.31 to No.22), while the Billie Eilish track 'Come Out And Play' scores the week's highest debut – at No.23.
Sheck Wes continues to climb with 'Mo Bamba' (No.39 to No.29), ahead of a new gold certification (35,000 units) for the Little Mix single 'Woman Like Me', despite the track never making it into the top 20.
Good news for Morgan Evans, with his single 'Day Drunk' picking up another eight chart places to a new peak of No.35, but not such good news for the P!nk rendition of 'A Million Reasons' (from 'The Greatest Showman' soundtrack), which is down 11 to No.38.
Hilltop Hoods enter the top 100 with a No.42 debut for 'Leave Me Lonely', XXXTentacion's 'Bad' slips nine (No.38 to No.47), while the Kygo/Sandro Cavazza single 'Happy Now' hits the top 50 for the first time, improving five places to the even No.50 spot.
Beyond there, there's a 26 place jump for Amy Shark's 'I Said Hi' (No.78 to No.52) after her ARIAs triumphs. She'll also be celebrating the single hitting a new triple platinum accreditation too. It's now sold more than 210,000 units.
The Benny Blanco/Calvin Harris track jumps from No.61 to a new peak of No.54, while the Amy Shark single 'I Said Hi' is back in the top 100 at No.58.
Good news for Guy Sebastian; his single 'Before I Go' has been rolling around the lower reaches of the top 100 for the past couple of weeks. But this week, it's starting to hit its strides (thanks also to some promotional appearances). It's up from No.87 to a new peak of No.62.
Ellie Goulding, Diplo and Swae Lee's 'Close To Me' also picks up some chart love this week, jumping 16 places to a new peak of No.64.
Christmas comes to the singles chart; Mariah Carey's seminal classic 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is back, re-entering the ARIA top 100 at No.65. It's five times platinum certified (350,000 units) down under.
Ariana Grande's 'Breathin' is down 19 (No.51 to No.70) and Peking Duk's 'Fire/Reprisal' loses 14 (No.57 to No.71), but the 2017 Billie Eilish track 'Bellyache', which is platinum certified, makes its first ever ARIA chart entry at No.75.
Queen's 'We Will Rock You' drops 16 (No.70 to No.86), James Arthur and Anne-Marie's 'Rewrite The Stars' is new at No.88 and The Chainsmokers' 'Beach House' improves seven positions from last week's No.96 debut.
Conrad Sewell drops 18 with 'Healing Hands' (No.73 to No.91) and Khalid's 'Suncity' is down much further (losing 32 places to No.92).
No change atop the ARIA albums chart again this week; the soundtrack to the Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper's cinema smash 'A Star Is Born' maintaining its lead over all others.
And while Queen were prised from their positions by new entries last week, they've got them back again this week.
The 'Bohemian Rhapsody' soundtrack, for example, was knocked from No.2 to No.3 last week by Michael Bublé's new album 'Love'. This week it's back from No.3 to No.2.
'Greatest Hits' dropped from No.3 to No.6 on last week's countdown. This week it's back up from No.6 to No.3.
Bublé is still there in the top five (No.2 to No.4), with Queen making up the rest of the top five with 'The Platinum Collection' (No.7 to No.5).
Missy Higgins scores the top ten love on debut for her best-of 'The Special Ones' (new at No.7), while Michael Bublé makes it two albums inside the ARIA top ten; 'Christmas' jumping from No.16 to No.9.
Amy Shark's album 'Love Monster' is in the ascendancy again thanks to her wins at the ARIAs (No.25 to No.12), while Rita Ora scores the Aussie chart love with her new album 'Phoenix', which debuts at No.15 (easily bettering the No.24 peak of her debut 'Ora' back in 2012).
The Little Mix album 'LM5' is down eleven places in week two (No.8 to No.19), but there are gains for George Ezra's 'Staying At Tamara's '(No.36 to No.20) and Human Nature's 'The Christmas Album' (No.28 to No.21).
Samantha Jade fans are getting festive thanks to 'The Magic Of Christmas', which scores a No.23 debut.
David Campbell joins the festive celebrations with 'Baby It's Christmas' (up nine to a new chart peak of No.24) and Andre Rieu soars a huge 70 places with 'Romantic Moments' (No.97 on debut to No.27).
There's an eight spot jump for John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John's 'Friends For Christmas' (No.37 to No.29), while Mariah Carey's 'Merry Christmas' re-enters the ARIA top 50 for another year, jumping from No.52 to No.30.
Even Mark Vincent's 'The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year' is picking up the pace in the sales race, up from No.47 to No.32.
The new Karise Eden album 'Born To Fight' enters at No.37, but there are a couple of larger drops; Roy Orbison's 'Unchained Melodies' down 12 from last week's No.32 debut and Midnight Oil's 'Armistice Day : Live At The Domain Sydney' down another 18 places to No.45.
The drop is even more pronounced for the Mark Knopfler album 'Down The Road Wherever', which loses 34 places from last week's No.14 debut.
Thanks to his ARIAs hosting, Keith Urban scores a big 20 place jump for his latest long player 'Graffiti U' (No.75 to No.55), but there are big drops following for Barbra Streisand's 'Walls' (No.34 to No.56) and for Ziggy Alberts' 'Laps Around The Sun' (No.39 to No.58). Muse's 'Simulation Theory' also drops (No.40 to No.60).
Take That enter the top 100 with their new best-of 'Odyssey' (No.63), but the news isn't great for Anderson Paak, whose album 'Oxnard' loses a massive 47 places from last week's No.20 debut.
Also losing ground in a big way this week is Sam Smith's 'The Thrill Of It All' (down 35 places to No.73).
Architects' 'Holy Hell' is down 28 (to No.85), Chris Cornell's self-titled LP is down 39 (to No.92), Lil Peep's 'Come Over When You're Sober Pt.2' is also down 39 (to No.93).
But the news is even worse for Kip Moore and Mariah Carey; Kip's album 'Room To Spare' debuted at No.18 last week, while Mariah's new album 'Caution' premiered at No.15. Both are now gone entirely from the ARIA top 100.
* Adele's '25' also exits the ARIA top 100 after a massive 157 weeks.


Anja calls up Dr. Jenna Jambeck and Amy Brooks from the University of Georgia on a research trip in Vietnam. In many Asian countries, a booming economy is coupled with more people using throw-away items. Informal recyclers and waste pickers who have traditionally sorted the waste cannot keep up. But, like millions of people around the world, they depend on waste as a resource for their livelihoods. How can the systems be reformed without leaving the people behind? To find out, Anja calls Dr. Sonia Maria Dias, a garbologist from Brazil.


If fire is our good friend or foe depends a whole lot on the way we treat it and our having a basic familiarity with its causes. This understanding will help us see the usefulness and benefits of having a Fire Pit. What Is Fire? Although men had been using fire for thousands of years, its true nature had not been known until experiments by Antoine Lavoisier and others in the 1700's showed that flames marks a chemical reaction relating oxygen. I am sure that if they had put outdoor fire pits to good use, that they could have figured this out way earlier! Anyway, they proved that oxygen is actually added during the burning process, although others before that had thought that fire resulted from the release of an unreal substance called phlogiston. Fire is defined as the heat and light which come from burning substances - essential of course for every fire bowl.

Wyoming Legislative Service Office
Verda James was the first woman to serve a full term as speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives, serving in that capacity during the 1969-1970 session.
She was born in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, on Sept. 27, 1901, to William Henry and Sara (Nice) James. William Henry James was a railroad official. The family moved to Iowa when she was two years old. She graduated from high school in Boone, Iowa, and received her undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa. She became a teacher, working first in Algona, Iowa, and later in Casper, Wyo., where she taught English at Natrona County High School.
She lived briefly in Minnesota and South Dakota and attended the University of Colorado and the University of Maryland. She earned a master's degree from the University of Denver.
In 1939, she began working for the Wyoming Department of Education, eventually becoming director of the Special Education Division. She also served as the state's deputy director of public instruction.
In the early 1950s, she was instrumental in creating remedial reading programs, and in 1955, she joined the Casper College faculty, teaching English and education. In 1958, she became assistant superintendent for elementary education for Natrona County School District 1.
She belonged to numerous professional and community organizations and strongly believed that women, no matter their background or education, could and should play an active role in their communities. One of her proudest accomplishments was her role in the Wyoming Department of Education's establishment of the state School for the Deaf in Casper.
Verda served eight terms, from 1954 to 1970, in the Wyoming House of Representatives. She chaired the House Education Committee for three terms and was the only Republican woman in the House during most of that time. Wyoming Governor Clifford Hansen appointed her to the Governor's Committee on Education and the Status of Women. Verda once summed up her career as an educator and legislator, saying, "If I can do something to help the children, I will have fulfilled my job."
Verda James Elementary School in Casper, built in 1978, was named to honor her for her outstanding accomplishments.
She died in Casper on Oct. 15, 1991.
James was not the first woman ever to hold the position of House speaker in Wyoming, however. That honor belongs to Edness Kimball Wilkins. Wilkins, a Democrat, was serving as majority leader in the House when Speaker Walter Phelan of Cheyenne died in office. After Phelan's death, Wilkins' fellow House Democrats promoted her to speaker in May 1966. But she ran successfully for the state Senate the following fall, and so never actually served as speaker during a session of the legislature. The Wyoming Legislature at that time met only on odd-numbered years.

How ads end up on TV... are you clear?
by Chris Mundy, managing director, Clearcast June 18, 2018
Mundy..."elements of the TV ad-clearance process could be applied to the digital sphere"
The way that the clearance system for TV ads works could help to inform the digital advertising debate
Clearcast is celebrating its 10th birthday this year (I know, we don't look it!), but TV advertising preclearance dates back to the start of ITV in the 1950s. Then, the regional companies debated issues such as whether to accept the word "Cor" in an ad. Skip forward 60-odd years and the issues facing the video ad industry feel urgent and important. Digital advertising is moving at such a pace that brand- and- consumer-protection are playing catch-up.
Last year's crisis centred on good ads appearing in bad places. A lot of work has gone on to address that, but there's still more to do. A CNN investigation found 300 companies, including tech giants, retailers, newspapers and government agencies, ran ads on YouTube channels promoting Nazis, paedophilia and North Korean propaganda.
Clearcast's focus on UK TV and VoD advertising is to stop bad ads appearing in good places. We work on behalf of quality, largely regulated media to ensure that claims are verified and ads don't break industry agreed rules or cause widespread offence. We don't advise on digital advertising beyond VoD for our clients although we're often approached by companies that feel that digital can learn from TV. Here are some thoughts on this, based on Clearcast's experience:
TV benefits from the fact that every ad can be uniquely identified by a 15-character "clock number". We clear an ad, that clearance is linked to the clock number, broadcasters receive the commercial and know where and when they can broadcast it. Without the clock number it would be much harder to keep track of the acceptability and scheduling of ads across media outlets.
TV clearance is a labour-intensive business. We are mandated to seek verification on every claim, from "the most effective vacuum cleaner" to "price 14.99". This matters in TV because it is a mass medium and there is particular risk of a large number of people being offended or misled. It would be costly to reproduce the way we work across digital media where volumes are higher and the cost of advertising is far lower.
However, it would be possible to have a system whereby an accredited competent party (advertiser/ agency/publisher) self-validates its ads against the ad code or triggers third-party validation if they have doubts. Combined with a unique ad identifier, and potentially as part of a blockchain, there would be accountability in the event the ASA were to investigate. Where digital ads don't come from accredited parties, a simplified compliance process could operate where every ad is reviewed and triaged. Any that warrant concern could go through a simplifi ed compliance process.
Clearcast applies standard content indicators to VoD ads. These help media owners place them in appropriate content and make sure that, for example, kids don't see ads with violence. Again, there is no reason why our indicators or similar ones couldn't be applied more generally in digital advertising.
Over time, personalisation may exist to the point where there is almost no single "ad" as such and, of course, ads are already personalised and created on the fly. These are usually templated, and today for TV we already clear templates for ads that may have automatically generated content such as betting odds, highlighting the risks and ensuring controls are in place.
The Martin Lewis case in the UK highlights that post-hoc action on harmful digital ads may not be sufficient. While a single, centralised copy-clearance body for digital may be unworkable, a centralised mechanism for validating ads and protecting consumers is beginning to look like a requirement.
Clearcast in numbers
Clearcast saw more than 61,000 TV ads in 2017, and only 44 complaints on ads were upheld by the ASA for clearance reasons (0.1% of ads seen)
Over 95% of the TV ads seen by Clearcast are turned around in two working days
More than 2,900 advertisers and agencies have submitted ads to Clearcast in the past three years
There are more than 9,000 current advertiser, agency and broadcaster users of Clearcast's copy-clearance submission system
Industry Advertising Media
Amazon banned from advertising 'Unlimited one-day delivery' with Prime
Volkswagen ad banned for encouraging dangerous driving
YouTube launches tools for advertisers to experiment, mark key brand moments and remix ads in real-time

The death took place suddenly yesterday afternoon of Mr. Louis Francis Heydon, M.L.C., at his residence, Kentigern, Mary street, Hunter's Hill. Mr. Heydon was in his garden, among the flowers, when he suddenly felt ill, and returned to the house, expiring almost immediately.
Born in Sydney 70 years ago, the son of the late Mr. J. K. Heydon, he was educated at St. Mary's Seminary, and afterwards at the Sydney Grammar School. As in the case of his brother, Mr. Justice Heydon, the President of the State Industrial Arbitration Court, he was attracted by the law, and he became one of Sydney s leading solicitors. Entering the Legislative Assembly in January, 1882, as member for Yass Plains, he quickly made his way in politics, and he was Minister for Justice in Sir John Robertson's Ministry from December 22, 1885, to February 4, 1886. He resigned from the Assembly in 1886, and he entered the Legislative Council in 1889. He was always prominent in debate. He was recognised, indeed, as one of the best debaters in the House. He brought a keen intellect and a broad outlook to bear on every measure that came before him as a member of the Chamber, and his knowledge of Parliamentary procedure was equalled by that of few other men in the House. He was a man of fine literary attainments, and was a member of the Shakespeare and other well-known societies. In art matters, too, he was very interested. A prominent member of the Roman Catholic Church, he took a keen interest in all matters relating to that denomination. He was president of the St Vincent de Paul Society, with which institution he had been connected since its foundation many years ago. In the early days of the war he was prominently identified with the movement for the early closing of hotels.
The deceased gentleman leaves a son and a daughter - Mr. J. Kentigern Heydon and Mrs. W. Collingridge.
There will be a requiem Mass at Villa Maria on Monday, at 10.30, and the funeral will take place at the Field of Mars Cemetery.
