Division Name:
Committee on Publications and Cheminformatics Data Standards
It is intended to create an XML-based dictionary for storage and exchange of thermophysical and thermochemical data based on fundamental principles of phenomenological thermodynamics covering a wide variety of systems such as pure chemical compounds, multicomponent mixtures, and chemical reactions. Upon completion of the project, the developed dictionary and corresponding XML schema could become internationally accepted as a standard for thermodynamic data storage and exchange.
Such a standard is urgently required since thermodynamic data are commonly used in a great variety of the engineering applications as well as in numerous fundamental research projects as an information element for knowledge discovery.
Thermophysical and thermochemical property data represent a key foundation for development and improvement of all chemical process technologies. These data are also critical for support of fundamental research in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Material Science. An unprecedented growth of the number of custom-designed software tools for various engineering applications has created an interoperability problem between the formats and the structure of the thermodynamic data files and required input/output structure designed for various application software products. This problem is reflected in the extremely time- and resource-consuming efforts to collect the data within a particular data management environment using numerous data sources of different nature. The development of standards for thermodynamic data storage and exchange is the only principal solution of this problem.
Within the last 20 years this problem has become a major obstacle for development of efficient process design software tools requiring generation of extensive thermophysical and thermochemical property data packages. The major objective of this project is to establish an international standard for thermophysical/thermochemical data storage and exchange to provide a practical solution of this problem.
The development of a standardized XML-based dictionary is the most powerful instrument to provide an interoperability solution for interpretation and use thermodynamic data. This dictionary has to be able to describe the complete set of thermophysical and thermochemical properties (more than 120), their uncertainties and related metadata. XML (Extensible Markup Language) avoids common pitfalls in language design: it is extensible and platform-independent. Since XML files are essentially textual files, they can be easily analyzed without the use of specific customized software products and can be read by a variety of text editors.
The developed XML-based structure will represent a balanced combination of hierarchical and relational elements. It will explicitly incorporate structural elements related to basic principles of phenomenological thermodynamics: thermochemical and thermophysical (equilibrium and transport) properties, state variables, system constraints, phases, and units. Meta- and numerical data records will be grouped into 'nested blocks' of information corresponding to data sets. The metadata records will precede numerical data information, providing a robust foundation for generating 'header' records for any relational database where XML-formatted files could be incorporated. The structural features of the metadata records will ensure unambiguous interpretation of numerical data as well as data-quality control based on the Gibbs Phase Rule. Implementation of the Gibbs Phase Rule would provide users with an indication of inconsistencies in thermodynamic data before the data are deposited into a data-storage facility. Moreover, some detailed information included in the metadata records could serve as a background for independent assessment of uncertainties, which could be propagated into uncertainties of physical parameters for reaction streams, and consequently, provide an opportunity for quantitative characterization of the quality of a chemical process design.
Commonly accepted IUPAC-based terminology will be used as the foundation for metadata and numerical data tagging. In addition, the self-explanatory approach and very limited use of abbreviations will minimize the time necessary for users to understand the schema and to convert the XML- formatted data with customized software or commercial XML parsers.
The dictionary will be designed to take advantage of the modular nature of XML schemas. In particular, the emphasis will be made to ensure compatibility with the schema currently being developed under the scope of the IUPAC project 2002-022-1-024 "Standard XML data dictionaries for chemistry". By design, there will be only one unit selected for each property covered by the dictionary. These units will be SI-based, however, for a number of properties the selected units might be multiples of SI units to ease interpretation of numerical values. Unit tagging will be explicitly propagated to every numerical data point as a part of each property name, thus minimizing the possibility of unit misinterpretation.
Various methods of numerical data representation commonly used in publication of experimental property data (e.g., direct, difference from values at a reference state, ratio of the value to that at a reference state, etc.) are planned to be incorporated into the schema.
The developed dictionary will provide elements for storage and exchange of experimental, critically evaluated, and predicted data. The schema will have provisions for the expressions of various measures of the thermodynamic data uncertainties such as standard uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, combined expanded uncertainty, and different types of the precision (repeatability, deviation from the fitted curve, device specifications). Definitions and descriptions of all quantities related to the expression of uncertainty in the dictionary will conform to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, ISO (International Organization for Standardization), October, 1993.
The developed schema will be validated extensively with data records managed by the SOURCE Data System, the largest experimental thermodynamic data storage facility in the world. In addition, validation will include data files corresponding to publications of experimental and critically evaluated data in major journals in the field such as the Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data and the Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics. The necessary arrangements with the Editors and Publishers of the journals have been made. To expedite and automate the process of schema validation, software tools guiding the process of data capture and generation of XML-formatted files will be developed on the basis of the formulated dictionary.
Establishment of the XML-based standard for storage and exchange of the thermodynamic data will provide an easy-to-use and extremely efficient pipeline to transport data from data producers to data users, serving as a hub tool and assuring interoperability between various data management systems and operation platforms.
The project will be conducted in close cooperation with industry (Design Institute for Physical Properties, DIPPR, combining thermophysical data activities for more than 40 major companies worldwide).

My aim in these lectures is to examine the multifaceted and mutually perpetuating connections between dynamical systems, combinatorics, and number theory. In particular, we will discuss Furstenberg's ergodic approach to Szemerédi's theorem on arithmetic progressions and its far reaching recent ramifications (including polynomial extensions of Szemerédi's theorem and the Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions within the primes), applications of ultrafilters in modern research, and the role of flows on nilmanifolds in ergodic Ramsey theory.
Following Wednesday's lecture there will be a reception in honor of Professor Bergelson at the Koenig Alumni Center, 1202 University Avenue (the SE corner of Broadway and University).
Vitaly Bergelson received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the guidance of Professor H. Furstenberg in 1984, and was awarded the Landau Prize for his doctoral dissertation, which dealt with applications of ergodic theory to combinatorics. After graduation he accepted a postdoctoral position at Ohio State University and has been with OSU ever since. He is engaged in extensive research and advising work which is mainly devoted to the interplay between dynamics, combinatorics, and number theory. Professor Bergelson is actively devoted to the dissemination of mathematical knowledge; he has given hundreds of lectures all over the world, including an invited address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2006 in Madrid, two plenary talks at American Mathematical Society meetings, a Mordell lecture at Cambridge, mini-courses in Italy, India, Mexico, Chile, the Czech Republic, South Korea, New Zealand, and series of lectures at the CBMS Conference on Ergodic Ramsey Theory at Eastern Illinois University and at the School on Dynamical Systems in Trieste.
This Lecture Series is funded by an endowment given by Professor Ira M. DeLong, who came to the University of Colorado in 1888 at the age of 33. Professor DeLong essentially became the mathematics department by teaching not only the college subjects but also the preparatory mathematics courses. Professor DeLong was a prominent citizen of the community of Boulder as well as president of the Mercantile Bank and Trust Company, organizer of the Colorado Education Association, and president of the charter convention that gave Boulder the city manager form of government in 1917. After his death in 1942 it was decided that the bequest he made to the mathematics department would accumulate interest until income became available to fund DeLong prizes for undergraduates and DeLong Lectureships to bring outstanding mathematicians to campus each year. The first DeLong Lectures were delivered in the 1962-63 academic year.

On Friday it was Arthur Saldivar who made headlines with a video that went viral showing him using obscene language and gestures, tonight it is the Minister of Education Honorable Patrick Faber that is in the center of public scandal.
According to an article released on the Social Media, a birthday party that took place allegedly at Faber's house in Lord's Bank Village over the weekend, turned ugly after he assaulted the birthday girl with whom he shares a relationship with.
The article states that around 5:00 Saturday morning, 25 year old Belizean License Officer at the Ministry of Education, Nickesha Polanco, visited the Ladyville Police Station and reported that between the hours of 2:30am and 3:00am she was having her birthday party at Faber's residence in Lord's Bank Village and whilst utilizing her cell phone, Faber approached her and requested her cell phone. When she refused, Faber choked her on the bed.
At that instance Polanco allegedly shouted for her friend Dawna Herbert who came into the room and spoke to Faber. But that is not the end of the story the release further alleges that Faber grabbed Polanco by her hair, pulled her off the bed onto the ground and dragged her to the corridor. He then punched her twice to the right side of the face causing her to feel pain.
Reports suggest that Polanco also sustained abrasions on the right knee and the right hand and during the altercation, Polanco's friend, Dawna Herbert, was also punched on the face. While Polanco has denied the incident occurred we must make note that a police report does exist and bears the same information provided in the article. The police report also makes mention that a statement was recorded from Polanco and a medico form was issued yet to be certified.

Seems the DS is back on top as the best selling unit in Japan. Many were worried that the wind had finally run out of its sails, but as this week proves that's not really the case. Rumor has it that the Wii units are being held for Golden Week holiday, which is why sales have been lower for the last couple of weeks. The other systems are also seeing lower sales and that may point to more conservative buying overall. As we get closer to Golden Week, perhaps sales will pick up for all systems.
This week seems to be a slow week for all hardware. The DS even managed to sell less than 100,000 units. Just about all of the hardware sales are down from last week. Rumor has it that manufacturers and retailers are gearing up for Golden Week, which is in May, but one has to wonder why they'd do that so early. For those who don't know, Golden Week is a week where quite a few national holidays are strung together. So people just take the whole week off. We can look forward to next weeks numbers to see if the sales continue the downward trend.
Nothing real surprising this week as console and handheld sales get back to normal. Interesting to see that the DS has held up for this long and is still selling at a brisk pace. One has to wonder how long something like this can continue, but for DS owners, this only means good software to choose from. Not much else going on this week, but good overall sales nevertheless.
It appears as though the list is getting back to normal. With the release of Monster Hunter 2 for the PSP and the new Gundam game for the PS3, the list was a little shaken. However, now that things have settled a bit, things are getting back to normal. What's impressive about all of this is that the DS was never really shaken from the top position. Wii sales have picked up and the PSP is still selling well. Overall a good week in hardware sales.
SAN FRANCISCO – March 19, 2007 – Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures Consumer Products, announced today that the Surf's Up™ video game, based on Sony Pictures Animation's feature-length CG animated film, in theaters June 8, 2007, will be shipping May 22, 2007, for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii™, Nintendo GameCube™, Nintendo DS™, Game Boy® Advance, and Windows® PC.
The Surf's Up™ video game features the voice talent from the stars of the feature-length movie. Cast members Shia LaBeouf as Cody Maverick; Jeff Bridges as Big Z; Zooey Deschanel as Lani Aliikai; Mario Cantone as Mikey Abromowitz; Diedrich Bader as Tank; and Sal Masekela as the announcer for the sports network SPEN, all provided new and original dialogue for the game. In addition, film clips featuring all the characters from the film – including Chicken Joe (Jon Heder) and surfing icons Kelly Slater and Rob Machado (themselves) – are showcased in the game.
Developed by Ubisoft's award-winning Montreal studio, Surf's Up™ takes players on a tubular surf adventure with Cody Maverick, an up-and-coming surfer, entering his first pro competition. The game plunges players into the exciting world of surfing, featuring thrilling surf tricks, cool surf locales and all the characters from the Surf's Up movie.
February is behind us and we can now reflect on the recently released NPD numbers. There's been lots of debates on many sites and forums regarding who's on top and what all of the projections mean. Many are spelling doom for the PS3 and PSP, but one thing we have seen with game markets is that it can all change in an instant. If these trends continue for 4 or 5 months, then there may be room for worry or perhaps we can claim a "winner", but it's way too early to tell. So relax, reflect, and enjoy. Until next month.
Another interesting week in console sales in Japan. The DS still reigns surpreme, but the PSP has been going steady for the last couple of weeks and will probably continue that way for at least a couple more. The PS3 has picked up a bit as well. The Wii seems to be falling a bit behind and that could be due to lack of games or most likely lack of actual systems for consumers to buy. Goes to show that all it takes is one game to help turn the tide. We look forward to next week.
As video game history has proven time and again, all it takes is one game to turn the tide. We saw that last week with the release of Monster Rancher for the PSP. The question was, what happens after that? Seems as though the PSP will get another good week of sales. We also saw a boost this week from the PS3, with the release of Gundam. Of course, nothing seems to be slowing down the DS train as it retains the number one slot.
Weekly Japan sales numbers are in and it looks as if the PSP was able to gain a little ground this week. Though, still unable to top the DS monster, sales look promising but who knows whether or not the PSP can keep up the trend. It does say that if killer apps are released, then no matter what the system is people will buy them. This does give the PS3 some hope as there are still lots of killer apps waiting to be released. Either way, an interesting week in Japan to say the least.
New York, NY – February 28, 2007 – Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) today announced financial results for the third quarter, fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. All comparisons with year-ago periods reflect restated results for the fiscal 2005 third and fourth quarters and fiscal year, as reported today.
Net revenue for fiscal 2006 was $1.038 billion compared to $1.201 billion in fiscal 2005, which included significant sales of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Net loss for the year was $184.9 million or $2.60 per share compared to net income of $35.3 million or $0.50 per share in 2005. The fiscal 2006 results include a non-cash charge of $63.5 million, or $0.89 per share, primarily incurred during the third quarter to record valuation allowances for deferred tax assets required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109.
Take-Two's fiscal 2006 results were adversely impacted by the video game industry's transition from current generation to next-generation platforms, which involved delays in the availability and consumer acceptance of certain next-generation hardware and lower average selling prices of the Company's software for current generation systems. Additionally, fiscal 2006 performance reflected higher development costs for Take-Two's next-generation titles and the Company's continued investment in building its sports business. While costly in the short term, these strategic initiatives are expected to have a positive impact on the Company's fiscal 2007 results and beyond as consumers increasingly transition to next-generation platforms.
In addition to the $63.5 million charge to record the valuation allowance, Take-Two's results for fiscal 2006 reflected the following pre-tax expense items: $26.4 million related to cost saving initiatives, including the closure of three development studios in the second and third quarters, resulting in severance charges, lease terminations and asset write-offs; $12.1 million in stock-based compensation as required by SFAS 123®; $8.1 million for the impairment of goodwill and fixed assets at the Company's Joytech subsidiary; $6.9 million for legal and other professional fees associated with the investigation of stock option grants and the Company's responses to the New York County District Attorney's subpoenas; $4.6 million for intangible asset write-offs; $2.3 million for the relocation of the Company's international publishing headquarters to Geneva; and $1.4 million in stock-based compensation from the re-measurement of certain restricted stock awards issued between May 2002 and June 2006. Approximately $110.7 million of the $125.3 million charges in fiscal 2006 were non-cash items.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2006 was $266.6 million compared to $306.8 million for the same period a year ago. Net loss for the quarter was $14.0 million or $0.20 per share compared to net income of $18.9 million or $0.27 per share in the 2005 fourth quarter. The fourth quarter 2006 loss includes $5.5 million for legal and other professional fees associated with the investigation of stock option grants and the Company's responses to the New York County District Attorney's subpoenas; a non-cash charge of $4.0 million to record valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; $2.6 million in stock-based compensation as required by SFAS 123®; $1.4 million for Geneva relocation expenses; and $1.2 million for asset write-offs and studio closure expenses. Approximately $7.4 million of the $14.7 million charges in the fourth quarter were non-cash items.
Net revenue for the third quarter ended July 31, 2006 was $241.2 million compared to $169.9 million for the prior year period. Net loss for the third quarter was $91.4 million or $1.29 per share compared to a net loss of $29.0 million or $0.41 per share in the 2005 third quarter. The third quarter 2006 loss includes a non-cash charge of $59.5 million to record valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; $8.5 million for the impairment of goodwill and other assets, primarily at the Company's Joytech subsidiary; $3.9 million for studio closure expenses and asset write offs; $2.6 million in stock-based compensation as required by SFAS 123®; $1.4 million for legal and other professional fees associated with the investigation of stock option grants and the Company's responses to the New York County District Attorney's subpoenas; $1.2 million in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the re-measurement of certain restricted stock awards; and $0.9 million for Geneva relocation expenses. Approximately $72.7 million of the $78.0 million charges in the third quarter were non-cash items.
In 2006, Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Bully for PlayStation 2 (Canis Canem Edit in Europe) and Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. 2K and 2K Sports released numerous titles across multiple platforms during the year, including The Elder Scrolls® IV: Oblivion™, Prey, Major League Baseball 2K6, NBA 2K7, NHL 2K7, College Hoops 2K6, 24: The Game, Top Spin 2, Civilization IV: Warlords, The Da Vinci Code and Family Guy. In 2006, Take-Two renewed its multi-year license for National Hockey League (NHL) games.
During 2006, Take-Two focused significant development efforts on titles launched for the PSP system and Xbox 360 although sales of these next-generation titles significantly lagged sales of PlayStation 2 titles. Additionally, while 2K Sports expanded its portfolio and captured an increased share of the sports market, the install base of next-generation hardware was not yet sufficient to support the development and licensing costs of the sports business. Take-Two is confident that its strategic decision to invest significantly in both next-gen development and the sports business will prove beneficial as the install base of new platforms grows and consumers continue to shift their purchases toward software for these systems.
For 2007, Rockstar Games has released The Warriors, based on the Paramount Pictures film, for the PSP system and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PlayStation 2 in Japan in an arrangement with Capcom Co., Ltd. Rockstar will ship Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories for PlayStation 2 in March; and Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2, PSP system, and Nintendo's Wii™ this summer. Grand Theft Auto IV, the next-generation console debut of the genre-defining franchise, will be shipped simultaneously for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3 in October. Starting in 2008, Rockstar will introduce exclusive episodic content downloads for Grand Theft Auto IV. Rockstar will also release new titles based on its proprietary brands, including L.A. Noire developed by Team Bondi.
2K and 2K Sports have released Major League Baseball 2K7 for multiple current and next-generation platforms; NBA 2K7 and NHL 2K7 for PLAYSTATION 3; College Hoops 2K7 for Xbox 360, Xbox and PlayStation 2; Sid Meier's Pirates!® for the PSP system; Ghost Rider for PlayStation 2, PSP system and Game Boy® Advance, based on the Marvel comic book franchise and Columbia Pictures film; and Jade Empire: Special Edition for PC, co-published with BioWare.
For the remainder of fiscal 2007, 2K and 2K Sports are expected to release a variety of titles across multiple platforms, including BioShock for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows; The BIGS, an arcade style Major League Baseball title on multiple current and next-generation platforms including Wii; College Hoops 2K7 for PLAYSTATION 3; The Darkness, based on the comic of the same name published by Top Cow Publishing and created by Marc Silvestri and Paul Jenkins for next-generation consoles; Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, based on the upcoming movie from Twentieth Century Fox/Marvel Studios, for multiple current and next-generation platforms, including Wii; The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles expansion pack for PC; All Pro Football 2K8 for next-generation consoles; as well as NHL 2K8 and NBA 2K8 across multiple current and next-generation platforms. In addition to the licensed 2K Sports lineup, starting in 2008, 2K will have new content based on its Civilization franchise and other products, including both original intellectual property and third-party titles.
Global Star Software is expected to publish a PC extension of its popular Deal or No Deal game and will continue its focus on video games incorporating popular licensed and children's entertainment properties, with several titles planned for Wii later this year.
For the first quarter ended January 31, 2007, the Company anticipates net revenue in the range of $265 million to $275 million, with a net loss in the range of $23 million to $25 million, or $0.33 to 0.35 per share, reflecting no tax benefit. Financial results for the first quarter are expected to be filed on Form 10-Q within the timeframe required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the full fiscal year 2007, the Company anticipates revenue in the range of $1.2 billion to $1.25 billion and expects to return to profitability in the fourth quarter and break even for the full fiscal year 2007. Additionally, the Company expects that the 2K Sports division will reach profitability in calendar 2007. Key assumptions underlying fiscal 2007 expectations include continued consumer acceptance of the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Wii; the successful launch of the PLAYSTATION 3 in Europe; the ability to develop and publish products that capture market share for these next-generation systems while continuing to leverage opportunities on legacy platforms; as well as the delivery of the titles detailed in this release.
"With today's Form 10-K filing we have taken a big step forward in closing the chapter on Take-Two's historical stock option practices and our near-term efforts to regain NASDAQ compliance and the confidence of investors," said Paul Eibeler, Take-Two's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Today's filing of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 satisfies certain key conditions specified by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel for Take-Two to maintain continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market, as specified in a written notification by the NASDAQ Panel previously disclosed by the Company. Take-Two expects to satisfy the remaining NASDAQ listing requirements by filing its Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended July 31, 2006 on or before March 19, 2007 and holding its combined 2005 and 2006 annual meeting of stockholders on or before March 27, 2007. The Company has no update regarding the previously disclosed informal non-public Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into stock option grants or the subpoenas from the New York County District Attorney.


New Delhi: India's domestic air passenger traffic growth slowed further in February owing to high air fares even as airlines continued to cancel flights due to various reasons.

In 3.5e, dragonborn were of the Humanoid (dragonblood) creature type and subtype.
In 5e, I haven't been able to find this info — the creature entry (dndbeyond link) doesn't have any mention of creature type, and the published list of creatures by type doesn't include playable races.
Are 5e dragonborn humanoids, dragons, or something else?
Dragonborn aren't dragons. They are humanoids.
If even the more powerful half-dragons are simply humanoid, then dragonborn are also certainly humanoid, as Crawford says. They have no other "subtype", to use the D&D 3rd edition term, as those don't strictly exist (although parenthetical "tags" after the type exist and are most commonly used in statblocks to give the creature's race).
No rule currently defines dragonborn as having a "tag" after their type, so unless some rulebook shows otherwise, dragonborn are simply "humanoid", and their statblock would list them as "Medium humanoid (dragonborn)".
Every character belongs to a race, one of the many intelligent humanoid species in the D&D world.
Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail.
They may look like dragons, but they are not of the dragon type. They are humanoids.
Almost1 every playable race - humans, dragonborn, halflings, bugbears, kenku, tritons, etc. - is humanoid in nature.
Your creature type is fey, rather than humanoid.
As you can see, this supports the assumption that other playable races are humanoid, and clearly marks the centaur as an exception to this rule.
Though not explicitly stated, you can imply that dragonborn is humanoid from Introduction section in Monster Manual, under Creature Type.
There are 14 creature types mentioned, and dragonborn only fits the description of humanoid.
Humanoids are the main peoples of the D&D world, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. [...] , and a bipedal form. The most common humanoid races are the ones most suitable as player characters: humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings.
A variety of humanoids appear throughout this book, but the races detailed in the Player's Handbook - with the exception of drow - are dealt with in appendix B. That appendix gives you a number of stat blocks that you can use to make various members of those races.
Dragonborn is one of the races in Player's Handbook, so we should look it up in Appendix B. However, all of the template on the Appendix B is medium humanoid, so saying that dragonborn is intended to belong in humanoid type seems logical.
So all the player races are 'humanoid' type. Any deviation from that would be handled by a specific racial trait that says what type, types, or tags they have.
Subtypes aren't a thing anymore; what you are referring to are technically called 'tags' (as described in the Monster Manual, page 7), like elf, halfling, lizardfolk, dragonborn, or shapechanger. Humanoid races are usually listed in monster stat blocks with a tag indicating their specific race, so a dragonborn would be a "Humanoid (dragonborn)", but nothing more than that. There's no 'reptilian' subtype for lizardfolk, for example, and dragonborn are certainly not dragons.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged dnd-5e races dragonborn or ask your own question.
Are there any Large playable races with a LA of +0/+1 and if so where are they?
Do races suitable for PCs that have racial bonuses on skills have those skills as class skills?
When does a Truly Polymorphed creature gain its 'new' form as a 'base' form?
What damage type vulnerability makes sense for disease-based Zombies rather than being undead?

1952, Park Circus/MGM, 85 min, UK, Dir: Ronald Neame
Spy novelist Eric Ambler might have seemed an unlikely choice to adapt Arnold Bennett's novel about a charming go-getter, but the result is a thoroughly enjoyable comedy. Alec Guinness plays one of his first romantic leads as Denry Machin, a young man whose ambition and occasional willingness to bend the rules help him rise through the ranks of society. Among the women who catch his eye are Glynis Johns, Valerie Hobson and future singing star Petula Clark.
Eric Ambler

1946, MGM Repertory, 118 min, UK, Dir: David Lean
The film that set the standard for all Dickens adaptations before or since. Director David Lean's early masterpiece opens with the awesome images of a convict stumbling across a storm-wracked moor, and then plunges us into the story of an impoverished underdog, Pip (John Mills) trying to defy the rigid caste system of Victorian England. Co-starring Alec Guinness (in his first film for Lean), Jean Simmons, Francis L. Sullivan and Valerie Hobson, with Oscar-winning, black-and-white photography by Guy Green. "Probably no finer Dickens film has been made than Lean's GREAT EXPECTATIONS." – Michael Pointer, Charles Dickens On Screen.

Chinese Spirits Brand Shede Wins the Three-star Superior Taste Award, a New Record in ITI's 15-year History
woensdag 3 juni 2020 12:26 Economie
BRUSSELS, June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 2, 2020, the International Taste Institute (ITI, formerly ITQI) officially announced the awards for the evaluation of global food and beverages, one of the most prestigious awards in the industry. In the evaluation for 2020, food and beverages from over 800 producers worldwide were tasted and evaluated, of which only 325 were granted the world-renowned three-star Superior Taste Award. Only 14 winners were spirits and liquor companies. Among them was Shede Spirits, which won two three-star awards with its ultra-high-end best selling products -- Tianzihu and Wisdom Shede.
https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1176230/Shede_Spirits.jpg [https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1176230/Shede_Spirits.jpg]
At the same time, 8 other spirits products from Shede Spirits were granted two-star or one-star Superior Taste Awards. This is the "grand slam" in the sector of Chinese spirits tasting, as well as a new ITI record, as this was the first time that a Chinese spirits brand won the three-star Superior Taste Award.
"Nature is the best distiller and time is the best bartender." Inspired by this idea, Shede's spirits boast an exceptional aged flavor and have become the symbol of high-end Chinese spirits.
Chinese spirits enjoy a long history yet are rarely seen in the West. The official recognition Shede Spirits, a Chinese brand, received will surely bring more Chinese spirits to the world stage.

Planon verwerft een meerderheidsbelang in softwarebedrijf Reasult B.V. woensdag 20 januari 2021 10:27


2012 was a year of major projects delayed and devastating loss. Somehow I managed to get a little decorating done. Lets look back at a few favorites, In January it was my buffet redo.
I'm finished decking the halls, well the living room anyway. It's my favorite time of the year. Lets take a little look see shall we?
This year I put up a tabletop tree instead of my usual 7 footer. I like it so much better. Being in a small space it just feels more comfortable.
I bought a fresh garland and added it to some faux greenery that I had to give it a lush look. Then I poked in silver faux bay leaves and astilbe, along with mercury glass votives, silver balls and icy garland.
I've always been intrigued by those elaborate Christmas Villages, but they are very costly not to mention time consuming to put up and take down. This year I was surprised to find some cute little Christmas village houses and accessories at the Dollar Tree. I purchased a few but they needed a makeover to fit in with my color palette. I painted them white and added snow only to the roof of the houses.
This year I'm trying to make most of my Christmas decorations using things I already have. I've got lots of peat pots, so I thought I would make a few tiny ones to hang on the tree and a few larger ones to place in vignettes. I've always loved altered peat pots and have been anxious to try making a few. I was so inspired by the ones Dawn at The Feathered Nest makes and Rosemary at VillaBarnes creates that I finally tried a few.
I have a desperate need for places to store my vast and some might say obsessive collection of decorating books. While cleaning out my shed I discovered a basket my mom gave me years ago. Light bulb! it would be perfect for storing some of my books. The color and look of the basket was cute but I'm kind of going in a more Scandinavian/ Shabby/ Farmhouse look. What to do? paint of course.
I base coated the basket in a gray gesso and paint mixture, then dry brushed over that with multiple layers of the white paint/gesso and the grey gesso/paint mixtue.
I've been in a slump for several days. I've started a few projects and have completed none. I have however been shopping! Shopping is my therapy, when I'm sad I shop, even if I don't actually buy anything, it makes me feel better to be around beautiful things. I even love going on virtual shopping trips with fellow bloggers. Post that take us along to flea markets and fairs make me really happy. Since I don't have a completed project to share I thought I would show you some of my new thrift store purchases. The first thing is this pretty tiered tray.
I used wooden beads and a wooden cross that I bought from the craft store. I had seen a cross made from book pages and it gave me the idea to cover my beads with script. I stamped tissue paper and decoupaged it to the beads and cross. I used rhinestone spacers between the beads and threaded them on cotton twine.
Looking around my garden I am reminded of the one thing I know for sure...Life goes on.
Hello everyone, It is with great sorrow that I must tell you that my father has passed away. As most of you know we lost our mother three short months ago. It was shortly after my mothers passing that we learned my father was keeping a secret. We learned that he was terminally ill. He didn't tell anyone, not even my mother knew. It was only when the pain became unbearable and he was rushed to the hospital several weeks ago that we learned just how sick he was. Hospice workers helped us manage his pain and care for him, and someone from the family was always with him. Thankfully his last weeks were mostly pain free. He was comatose the last week of his life and quietly slipped away Monday. It's so hard to believe that we lost our brother, then mom and now our father in less than seven months time. We are all hanging in there but its really tough. I'll be away from the blog for a while.
It seem as though we just decorated for Christmas and now its time to bring out the Spring and Easter decor. Where did the time go? This year I was in the mood for a little whimsy for Easter so I bought out the tons of Easter bunnies and eggs I've been collecting for ever. I always buy things at the end of the season and literally pay a few cents for most of them. I busted the ole bunnies and eggs out and this is what I came up with after a lot of tinkering. Sometimes things just wont flow, but eventually I came up with something.
The vintage look bunnies in the egg and the bunny riding a bunny in the cloche both came from Marshalls, both clearance items a couple of years ago.
I purchased this beautiful statue of Saint Therese at The Good Will. I was immediately drawn to it. I bought her about two weeks before my mother died. I didn't know anything about Saint Therese or as she's more commonly known the Little Flower. I became curious about her after I received a beautiful sympathy prayer card from a friend and former co worker after the death of my mom. When I received the card and realized my mother had been made a member of The Society of the Little Flower I realized that Saint Therese was the same Saint as my Statue.
Hello friends, last Saturday my family and I held a memorial to celebrate the life of our beloved mother. It was a beautiful tribute to her. There were many heartfelt testimonials to mom from friends and family. We played her favorite music and served the foods and treats she loved best. There was video of mom and family photos streaming throughout the memorial. It was our hope that everyone would leave feeling her love and spirit and not sadness. We were able to accomplish just that. Everyone remarked that they felt so much better after the service... the heaviness of grief was lifted, we were so happy for that. Mom's passion was gardening and she had one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. In remembrance of her love of gardening we gave everyone a packet of Forget me Not seeds to plant in her memory. I made all of the floral arrangements for the memorial. I didn't photograph the actual arrangements but I did make some bouquets from the flowers that were left. Moms favorite colors were blue and white so we decorated in those colors. I just want to share with all of you some of the flowers from her memorial.
I just want to say thanks to Tip Junkie for featuring my painted leather ottoman. I'm so thrilled that my ottoman still sparks so much interest. I'm flattered more than I can say. Big thanks to everyone who has visited from there.
Desiree at The 36th Avenue is hosting a fun Grow Your blog Hop. Just link up here or at her site.It would be sweet to follow as many of the host/contributors as you like. Have Fun!
I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outpouring of love, support and condolences after the tragic and sudden loss of my mother. I knew the woman of blog land were amazing, but now I also know that you are loving,compassionate, and kind . Thanks to all of you who took the time to leave me uplifting comments and emails. You all helped to keep me whole when I thought that I would surely fall to pieces. A very special thank you to Diana for sending out an SOS in blog land and directing so much prayer and positive energy my way, you are an angel. I'm happy to be able to tell you all that dad was released from the hospital. He is home now with visiting nurses and physical therapist. The family is pitching in to care for him around the clock. Physically he is doing very well, emotionally he is struggling. After so many years of marriage you wouldn't expect anything else. We will all get through this, after all we have our own special angel looking out for us. Thanks again, you all are the best! I'll be back soon.
I can barely write this and have put it off as long as possible, but I think everyone who has visited me and left sweet comments deserves to know why I have been silent. On Friday January 27, my elderly parents were hit by a truck. The impact was on the passenger side where my mother was sitting. She was killed instantly. My father is in critical condition with chest injuries. I can't believe my mother is gone, she was taken in an instant. I'm grateful that she didn't suffer and I'm sure she was gone before she even realized what happened. My family is lost and dazed. My parents were married for 65 years I fear that my father will not be able to go on without her and his time with us will not be long. I have to be away from the blog for awhile while I try to cope and be of comfort and help to my family where I can. To everyone who has visited and to my new followers thanks for stopping by and thank you for honoring me by following my blog. I will get back to you all when I can.
There are some very large birds hanging around in the very tall trees behind our house. I think they are some kind of buzzard or hawk. I did a little research on what I thought they might be but I'm stiil not sure. I'm nervous about them because my female Bichon is very small and I know that some types of hawks can eat small animals. I got the camera out and took a few shots. If anyone knows what these guys are please let me know. They were near the top of a huge tree, this is the closest I could get with telephoto lenses that came with my camera.
My camera came with a carrying case two lenses and a strap. It was a great package deal and I'm so grateful to my husband for this gift. Here are a couple of not so good shots of Bijoux and Paris taken when I was clueless. I took them on the day the camera came.

The projects were choosen and organized by themselves and covered areas as environment/historical heritage/social assistance/buildings' renewal (schools and child institutions)/etc.

The Meizu M3 Note is one of the best mid-range smartphones in India. This device is really affordable, despite the fact it comes with a great metal build, and really compelling specifications. The Meizu M3 Note features a 5.5-inch fullHD display, 3GB of RAM and the phone is fueled by the Helio P10 64-bit octa-core SoC. The 2GB RAM variant of this device is also available in China, but not in India.
Xiaomi did not exactly introduce many phablets thus far, and the Mi Max is the only such device this China-based company had released this year. The Mi Max is a mid-range phablet which comes with a 6.44-inch fullHD display, 3GB / 4GB of RAM and 32GB / 64GB / 128GB of internal storage. The phone also packs in a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera, and comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, while the company's MIUI 7 OS is available on top of Google's OS.
The LeEco Le Max 2 is LeEco's current flagship. This is also a phablet device, though a considerably smaller one compared to the Mi Max. This handset sports a 5.7-inch QHD display, 4GB / 6GB of RAM and 32GB / 64GB / 128GB of native storage. This device is made out of metal, and comes with a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. The base model (3GB RAM + 32GB storage) costs Rs. 14,999 ($226) in India.
The LG V20 has been announced quite recently, but it is not yet available in India. LG's first flagship of the year, the LG G5, stands side-by-side with the LG V20, and it is currently available in India. This smartphone comes with a 5.3-inch QHD display, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable native storage. The phone is fueled by the Snapdragon 820, and its 2,800mAh battery is removable.
The Galaxy Note 7 has been announced by Samsung, but as you all know, the company had to cancel Note 7 shipments due to battery issues, even though only a tiny portion of the devices were having issues with it. The Galaxy Note 7 is not yet available in India either way, so that leaves us with the Galaxy Note 5, which was introduced last year. This is still quite a powerful device, and if you're looking for a really capable phablet equipped with a stylus, the Note 7 sure is both of those things, and certainly an option to consider.
Google's new Nexus / Pixel devices are expected to arrive next month, and as we're waiting for them to get announced, the Nexus 6P is still the flagship Nexus smartphone. The Nexus 6P is still quite powerful, and can be upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat. This phablet comes with a 5.7-inch QHD display, 3GB of RAM, and it is fueled by the Snapdragon 810 64-bit octa-core processor. It is also worth mentioning that the Nexus 6P comes with a really capable camera, and that it is made out of metal.
Xiaomi had introduced a number of smartphones this year, and the Mi 5 is still their flagship smartphone. Unfortunately, the 'Pro' variant of this smartphone (the one with 4GB of RAM) is not available in the country, but you can purchase the regular 3GB RAM variant though. The device is priced at Rs. 22,999 ($346), which makes it one of the more affordable flagships out there. The device sports a 5.15-inch 1080p display, and it is fueled by the Snapdragon 820 64-bit quad-core SoC.
The HTC 10 is one of the best devices of the year according to many reviews that have been published to date, including our own. This smartphone is made out of metal, and it comes with a 5.2-inch QHD display. The phone also packs in 4GB of RAM, and it is fueled by the Snapdragon 820, like many other 2016 flagships are. The 12-megapixel OIS camera is placed on the back of the HTC 10, and even though this is not one of the most affordable devices out there, it certainly is one of the best ones.
The OnePlus 3 is one of the most affordable flagships currently available, especially when you consider its internals. Aside from a whopping 6GB of RAM, this smartphone also comes with a 5.5-inch fullHD Optic AMOLED display, and the Snapdragon 820 64-bit quad-core processor. The OnePlus 3 is made out of metal, and its 16-megapixel OIS camera is also quite capable. Android 6.0 Marshmallow comes pre-installed on this smartphone, and you'll find the company's OxygenOS on top of it.
The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are Samsung's flagship smartphones for 2016. These two devices were introduced back in February, and they're still amongst the most powerful smartphones out in the market. The two devices are made out of metal and glass, while they come with premium specs as well. Both devices are equipped with 4GB of RAM, and are fueled by the Exynos 8890 64-bit octa-core processor in India, which is considered to be the most powerful SoC out there next to the Snapdragon 820.

The following short extract from Eckhart's Latin works is not only a fair sample of his scholastic writings which any translation should at least illustrate, bur also, as Josef Koch has shown ('Zur Analogielehre Meister Eckharts,' Melanges offerts a Etienne Gilson, Paris, 1959, 327-50), serves to clarify his important doctrine of analogy, which in turn helps to explain and justify some of his apparently unorthodox statements, including several condemned in the bull of 1329.
The side numbers 38-45 are those used by the editor for easy reference. (K) in the notes refers to Koch.
Creavit enim, ut essent omnia (Wisd. 1:14). "He created all things that they might have being" (concluding portion).
Further it is to be noted that multitude and inequality are properties which always attach to creatures or created things, but unity and equality are proper to God and the divine as such.
To denote this it is said that God created, that all things might be.1
"God" he (Solomon) says, and "created": that is unity; "He created all things": that is multitude and inequality.
By the very fact of being created, a thing is differentiated, and because it
is differentiated, it is unequal and multiple.
For the created, by the fact that it is descended from the one and undifferentiated,
falls away from the one and falls into differentiation and, consequently, into inequality.
Conversely, the uncreated, since it has not fallen or descended from anything, remains in the fountainhead of unity, equality and nondistinction.
Hence it is that the three Persons in the Godhead, although they are several (plures), yet are not many (multi) but one (unum ) – even if there were a thousand Persons!
"The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one" (1 John 5:7). 39. Here again it is to be noted that from the very fact that creatures are many, differentiated, and unequal, it follows that God is undifferentiated, not many, and not unequal.
It also follows that every created thing is in some way one, equal, and undifferentiated.
The reason for all that has been said is that the higher by its nature always affects what is subject to it, but is in no way affected in turn by it, as is made clear in the treatise On the Nature of the Higher.
Therefore God the creator affects all creation with His unity, equality, and undifferentiation, according to the words of Proclus: 'all multiplicity shares somehow in the One' – and that which is divided from others is undivided in itself.
In agreement with the above is what Seneca says in his sixty-seventh letter: 'Things divine have one nature,' and again: 'there is no distinction in the divine.'
Boethius in Book III of his De consolatione, addressing God, says, All things Thou bringest forth from Thy high archetype: Thou, height of beauty, in Thy mind the beauteous world Dost bear, and in that ideal likeness shaping it,
Dost order perfect parts a perfect whole to frame.2
Thus, from Seneca you can gather that the one and the equal pertain to the nature of the divine and, consequently, the many and the unequal to the nature of the created; but from Boethius that this world, i.e., the whole universe, was first intended and was 'derived from its exemplar,' from the image of the Creator; but the parts, which are many, are secondary, to the extent that the perfection of the one universe requires them.
Or, to speak more properly, the perfect unity of the universe is the cause of such parts. For in general the parts of any whole do not confer being on the whole, but on the contrary receive being from the whole, by the whole and in the whole.
For outside of the whole they have no being at all, except by a designation which is wrong because equivocal.
Justitia enim perpetua est et immortalis (Wisd. 1:15). "For justice is perpetual and immortal."
It should be noted that this proposition is simply true of all justice everywhere, in the literal sense.
For one must know that there is a total difference, indeed opposition, between bodily characteristics (accidentia) such as whiteness, taste, and so on, and the spiritual perfections.
For bodily characteristics perish and lose their being when their subjects perish.
And the reason is that they receive their being, and their unity, and consequently also their dividedness and their number (as we said above about the parts of the universe),3 from their subjects, through and in their subjects, and consequently are posterior to their subjects.
But the spiritual perfections, for the same reason already stated, are quite different.
For these in no way receive being from their subjects, and consequently do not receive division or number from them or perish with them.
For each thing is dissolved by the same causes which brought it about, as Chrysostom says, and a jurist adds that 'nothing is so natural.'
On the contrary, these perfections, such as justice, wisdom, and the like, receive nothing whatsoever of their own from the subject, but rather give the subject the whole of its being as such, as is clearly seen in the relation of justice and the just man.
Accordingly they are prior to their subjects and anterior to their subjects, and are not contrary, the subjects are " rooted and grounded in love" (Eph. 3:17) in them, and receive their being, as such, in them as that which is prior to themselves.42.
For example, the just man, as such, receives his whole being from justice itself, so that justice is in truth the parent and father of the just man, and the just man, as such, is the offspring and son of justice, as I have noted to the text "From whom is all fatherhood in heaven and on earth" (Eph. 3:15).4
Another manifest example is seen in the body and the soul.
For we usually say that the soul is in the body, whereas in truth the body is rather in the soul, which gives being to the body.
For always the later and caused things perish when the first things or causes perish, and not conversely.
This is the meaning of the words "For justice is perpetual and immortal."43.
But that the inexperienced say and believe that justice, wisdom, and the like die with the just and wise man, comes from the ignorance of those who judge spiritual things by physical ones, whereas in nature it is always the reverse, that the spiritual is the measure of the physical.
That is why it is said significantly below in the third chapter, "The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the pain of death shall not touch them " (Wisd. 3:1-2); then follows, "in the eyes of fools they seemed to die."
This is clearly in agreement with what Augustine teaches in De Trinitate, Book VIII, chapter 2, where he says, 'If a soul becomes good, it can only achieve this by turning to something not itself.
But where shall it turn to become a good soul if not to the Good, by loving, desiring, and striving for this?
And if it turns away
from this and thus, by this very turning from the Good, ceased to be good, then – if that Good from which the soul turns had no continuity in itself – there would be nothing to which the soul could again turn if it wished for amendment.'
This is the meaning of Isaiah 30:18, "The Lord waits on you to take pity on you, " as I have noted more clearly and fully on that text.5
Also in chapter 7 below, "The light (of wisdom) is inextinguishable": see a t that place.6
Again, in evidence of the above it must be noted that we should not imagine, as some slow-witted persons think, that there is a different justice in each of several just men, being divided and counted, and fixed and rooted in those just men as is the case (noted above) with bodily characteristics.
But rather, all just men are just from justice which is one in number, but a number that is numberless, one without oneness or, more properly speaking, one which is above oneness.
Therefore all just men, insofar as they are just, are one/ as our Savior clearly teaches in John 17: 11,21-23.
And this is what Augustine says in Book III of His Confessions: justice is 'everywhere and always,' not 'different here from there,' according to which all the just are just.
And further on: 'Can justice be varied and mutable? Only the times over which it rules are different: for they are times.'
And further on he gives a fitting example from prosody.
For if various just men were just by different kinds of justice, then they would be equivocally just,8 or justice would relate to just men univocally.9
But the relation is that of analogy, by way of exemplar and antecedent, and thus is subject neither to number nor to time.10
And that is something common to all spiritual and divine perfections, according to the Psalm: "His wisdom is without number" (Ps. 146:5) , as I have noted there.11
"For all wisdom is from the Lord God" (Sir. 1:1).
Hence Avicenna says in his Metaphysics that justice and virtue come from the Giver of Forms, but that bodily characteristics come from the action of the active qualities of the body, which is changeable.
But by saying all the above, we do not deny that the virtuous possess habits of virtue: we say rather this, that these (habits) are, as it were, configurations in conformity with justice, and with God Himself from whom they come, and to whom they shape and conform us, according to 2 Cor. 3:18: "We are transformed into that same image, as by the spirit of the Lord "; and in Heb. 1:3 it is said of the first just man, the Son of God, that
he is "the brightness of His glory and the image of His being."
He says, "the brightness of His glory, " and that is what we wish to say.
For the virtues, such as justice and the like are more like gradual acts of conformation than anything imprinted and immanent which has its fixed root in the virtuous man: they are in a continuous state of becoming, like the glow of light in midair, or the image in a mirror.
That is why they are called flowers: "my flowers are the fruit" (Sir. 24:23).
According to Ambrose the virtues are the fruits, 12 and these fruits are the flowers.
In agreement with this is the fact that (as has been stated to the text "My flowers are the fruit" ) the Son is ever born in the Godhead,13 and also that in Christ himself, as a man, there is no other being than that divine being whereby he is the Son of God. Page 471-476

Melbourne is a happy city, buzzing with the sounds of trams and buskers and bicycle bells. Whether it's the sunshine or the quirky, caring nature of this city, it isn't a surprise to see so many smiling faces filling Melbourne's leafy streets.
Melbourne is modern, sophisticated and hip; pioneering inventive and creative gastronomy, eco-friendly green living, high end fashion and vintage style with thrilling entertainment that includes everything from live music and polished theatre performances to contemporary art and museums rich in cultural heritage. But Melbourne can also be sedate, calm and laid-back, with trams rumbling along its Victorian style streets and wide tree-lined boulevards. Full of alleyways that lead to undiscovered treasures, like Gertrude Street's microcosm of boutiques, galleries, record stores and bookshops – Melbourne is diversity and multiculturalism personified.
Cutting-edge Federation Square and beautiful Flagstaff Gardens (known as Burial Hill as it's where most of the settlers ended up) are just two favorite local haunts. Go Gothic with a stroll up Collins Street for a glimpse of a historic Melbourne church nestled among some of the most elegant boutiques in the city. Queen Victoria Market's 600 or more stalls provide a more rustic and lively shopping experience, while China Town is the perfect place for pre-theatre dim sum. Lovers of a fine vintage can enjoy a full day's win touring through the Yarra Valley, with plenty of sampling the goods en-route. For those looking for fun in the fresh air, a little kayaking up the Yarra River offers a work-out and a historic Melbourne experience. Moonlight tours are also available and include dinner. Just head for the Docklands!
Enjoy Melbourne nights on ice with a visit to the 'Chill on Ice Lounge' where you can sip cocktails in sub-zero temperatures in a bar made entirely from ice. Dine in the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant as you tour the city before an evening spent with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra or the Australian Ballet. Sip micro-brewed ales in cozy wood-paneled pubs or cool schnapps atop a rooftop bar as tunes spun on vinyl warm up the crowds for a night on the tiles.
Happy go lucky Melbournites love a festival which is perhaps the reason there are so many! From Australia Day and the Tennis Open to Chinese New Year and Anzac Day, Melbourne celebrates them all with a festival. It also celebrates writers, runners, coffee, international films, yachting, comedy, cricket and Christmas. Whenever you visit you can guarantee Melbourne will put on a show!


The reach of procurement within an organization is expanding. Procurement is now responsible for purchasing, supplier relationship management, ensuring internal and external compliance and controlling costs and spend.
Many procurement teams are struggling with these added responsibilities and are facing a huge uphill challenge to meet their new demands. Traditional, manual procurement processes rely heavily on phone, email and paper-based communication for requisitions and order management. These processes are time-consuming, cause errors and offer very little insight into the process. The graph below shows the areas that procurement teams would like to see the greatest improvement in their process over the next 12 months.
Best in class procurement teams are overcoming these challenges by restructuring the way that they deal with key stakeholders such as suppliers, automating minimal, time-consuming tasks and controlling costs.
Procurement teams interact with suppliers on a regular basis, so it is imperative that the relationship is a strong one. While procurement teams are becoming more and more digital, they also need to digitalize their most valued relationships. Manual processes for onboarding and interacting with suppliers are costly and can lead to errors further down the line.
Once procurement teams have identified their preferred suppliers, their objective should be to spend 80% of their total spend with them. Focusing on preferred suppliers allows organizations to unlock a number of benefits including unlocking pricing discounts and quicker ordering and invoicing.
Onboarding new suppliers can be done through web forms versus paper applications where data would have to be manually routed through the organization and entered into the ERP system. Interacting with suppliers can and should be done within a single platform where dialogue can be tracked as opposed to a chaotic fashion involving phone calls and email attachments for requisitions.
Manual processes can lead to lengthy delays and missed opportunities. Updating these process can save time and remove data inaccuracies. With this said, procurement teams have to be cautious when restructuring their relationships with suppliers. The goal of increasing competition can often come at the cost of damaging the integrity of partnerships.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past number of decades you'll have noticed the impact that technology is having on our personal and business lives. The impact of technology has certainly been noticed within the procurement space, where the term 'eProcurement' has been born.
A report by Paystream Advisors found that eProcurement Adoption Rates Have Increased from 34% in 2016 to 53% in 2017. These organizations are leveraging solutions to reap a number of benefits including improved control, visibility, and profitability.
The process of creating requisitions is made quicker and more efficient. eProcurement solutions allow non-procurement staff to easily select a product or service, create a requisition, and send it for approval. Easily configurable workflows can be implemented to ensure that any spend is allocated to the correct cost center, geography, and general ledger. Approval workflows can also be configured to ensure that each requisition is approved by the correct people before a PO is created.
This post will only scratch the surface of the value that technology can add to procurement. The graph below demonstrates the variety of different areas that organizations have been able to approve because of technology and in particular, eProcurement solutions.
When an employee creates a requisition they can often accidentally break company buying guidelines. Often unbeknownst to the employee, they may spend above their budget, send a requisition to the incorrect approver or allocate cost to the wrong cost center or general ledger.
Moving forward, it will be important for procurement teams to create a process where users are 'guided' through the entire buying process. Best in class organizations have systems in place where a user can choose products and services from only preferred suppliers, automatically create a requisition with the correct product details which allocate costs to the correct cost center and GL. Approval workflows can be used to ensure that the correct people approve the requisition before a PO is created.
Procurement teams are responsible for the overall company's spend. In traditional organizations where purchase orders are paper-based, there are no approval workflows and no cost allocation process, this can be tricky as visibility into the process is minimal.
Best in class procurement teams are investing heavily in reporting and analytics. Procurement teams that have visibility into the procurement process can pull real-time data on KPIs on metrics such as spend per employee, cost center or department as well as time to process POs. This allows procurement leaders to spot inefficiencies and find areas for improvement and development.
Non-trade spend on products and services such as stationery, electricity bills and cleaning services are an area that can often be untracked and in turn, costly. Maverick spending means that this bracket of spend is often paid for using petty cash or credit cards. Best in class procurement teams are finding that this is an area where savings can be made. Organizations that add a formal PO process to their non-trade spend typically reduce spend by around 3%.
Growing demands are putting a strain on procurement teams and unfortunately, many are struggling to fulfill their requirements. We mentioned earlier that 53% of organizations are now leveraging technology to enhance their procurement process. These best in class organizations have left behind manual, time-consuming processes. These organizations are now experiencing exponential benefits such as increased data accuracy, optimization of supplier base, and increased visibility into and control over spend.
