Superior Essex And Waybridge Announce Product Expansion By Providing Manufacturing Facilities In Asia, Europe, And North America
CIO Applications| Wednesday, June 01, 2022
Expansion followed the successful merger of two Superior Essex operations in North America.
Fremont, CA: Global supply chains and business continuity risks had another busy year in 2021. In addition to supporting colleagues and customers throughout the pandemic, businesses have faced increased competition and mounting pressure from buyers and suppliers to deliver despite supply chain disruptions while ensuring a positive, safe, compliant, and transparent overall customer experience.
Waybridge, the raw materials supply chain operating system, has expanded its relationship with Superior Essex, the world's largest distributor of magnet wire, across its manufacturing locations in Europe and North America.
Superior Essex was an early adopter of Waybridge's platform, using it in two North American production sites — in the United States and Mexico — beginning in August 2021. In addition, Waybridge will be integrated into nine new operations in Canada, Germany, Italy, Serbia, and the United States as part of this latest development.
Inefficient supply chains and stockouts can cost businesses more than immediate sales losses; they can raise logistical expenses, harm a company's brand image, and ultimately stymie future demand. Stockouts can get attributed to various supply chain factors, such as an unanticipated surge in demand, shipment and supplier delays, human mistakes, and a lack of precise inventory data.
Waybridge's Stock & Flow feature tackles and mitigates the difficulty of understanding existing and future inventory positions by combining shipping estimates, real-time shipment locations, estimated ETAs, and production schedules to provide clients with unprecedented predictive capabilities. As a result, Waybridge enabled Superior Essex to prevent four material stockouts that would have negatively impacted their customers in 2021 alone.
Excel is another supply chain tool that might be troublesome for businesses like Superior Essex. While spreadsheets are commonly used to gather and compute data among stakeholders in the raw materials supply chain, they are generally static and manual, making them prone to human error. For example, superior Essex cut company-wide Excel usage procurement by 90% and email volume surrounding procurement and monitoring by 50% using Waybridge's linked platform.
Superior Essex presently utilizes Waybridge to handle all of its North American material and plans to expand its technology into Asian factories soon.

A long term partnership with Cubiks already existed as the PAPI personality questionnaire was embedded in our recruitment processes. When confronted with the need to create a personalised development program for our HiPo population, Cubiks was the obvious choice of partner. The key to the success of the program was in the combined approach including HiPos and line managers. The initial program was strengthened by a leadership development track focused on 'line managers as a coach', giving them the tools to sustain the growth trajectory of these HiPos in the future. This way of working has truly anchored our rejuvenated approach to talent development and retention management within D&B.
Cubiks has been working with D&B Benelux for over 6 years, primarily integrating PAPI into the firm's recruitment process. Building on the success of this HR partnership, D&B asked Cubiks to help increase its focus on people development and ensure its staff are offered the best possible development opportunities.
The D&B HR team in Belgium asked Cubiks to help improve its development process. Staff feedback had indicated a level of dissatisfaction with the career planning support available. With limited opportunities for vertical career growth, it was important that development activities were re-targeted to take into account alternative perspectives on growth.
The HR team wanted to remedy this situation, concerned that without adequate development support, employees might become demotivated. Cubiks was asked to create an initiative that would motivate employees to explore their strengths and development areas from new angles and take ownership of their personal development planning.
Cubiks worked closely with the Belgian HR Manager as well as stakeholders across the business to create a custom-built Cubiks 360, initially for high potentials and the Benelux Management board. This multi-rater review tool was tailored to include D&B's own leadership competencies.
To follow on from this, Cubiks put together a personal development plan framework. This was designed to promote awareness of the development opportunities available, by encouraging people to explore horizontal movement in their careers and widen their experience.
As the figurehead leading the new Cubiks 360 project, it was essential that the HR Manager was equipped to implement it effectively. Cubiks developed a tailored training course for her that included creating her own personal development plan. She also co-delivered several feedback sessions for the pilot group alongside a Cubiks consultant, who coached her on her approach.
Participants in the programme have reported that they appreciate the feedback and value the insight gained from the process. This has helped ingrain constructive feedback and a focus on development is increasingly becoming part of the D&B culture. The company will now build on the success of this initiative by rolling it out across Belgium.

Mar 30 Workhorse Printmakers
I make a trek on Texas sidewalks that have rarely seen soles to meet John Earles and Jennifer Blanco of Workhorse Printmakers. And when ex-New Yorkers meet, they contagiously reminisce of the Five Boroughs. The conversation first dashes through old haunts, the morning rush, bagels and coffee, donuts in the Lower East Side, messenger bags and wash days.
After moving to New York together and seeing ten years in that charging machine of a city, John and Jennifer decided to transplant their steely design edge into their Houston roots. They co-opened WORKHORSE PRINTMAKERS and SPINDLETOP DESIGN, specialising respectively in quality letterpress printing and creative branding. Jennifer muses: "I don't think we literally set out to introduce a hyper speed to Houston. But it became apparent early on that we're workaholics and we've attracted the ideal people we'd like to work with in both the printing and design fronts. We've managed to meet some of the sharpest, interesting people that also have big aspirations for the city."
Their studio at 1304 Malone with wood rafters spaciously vaults the ceiling. It was apparently a 50′s manufacturing warehouse for a furniture maker. Since, the space has been re-interpreted as a bachelor pad for a bike enthusiast, a photographer's studio and a summer children's camp. Now secured as Jennifer and John's design HQ, a portion has been sectioned off as a pristine white-toned, computer-humming design studio. The other half is the audibly mechanical portion of the printery.
I take a closer look at the noise and whirling gears to which John explains: "Things aren't made like this anymore. These days a button is pushed on a box, something happens inside and a job, be it a printed piece or soup being warmed, is done without the user seeing the process." Not so at Workhorse.
"I like that the entire process is laid bare. The machines groan, creak, clank and tick. They rotate and move and there's no attempt to hide that work is being done. You hear it, see it and feel it. These were the pinnacle of printing technology and it boils down to mass and applied pressure. 2,800 lbs applying 1,200 psi to transfer ink from 12 point type to a wedding invitation. It's Sisyphean in its marvellous inefficiency. And the best part is that the record of it is left in the impression on the paper. It's an artefact of the process that all the applied technology in the world can't duplicate."
How could one refute such a poetic outlook? Especially when some of these machines, chugging and groaning, impressively date back to the 1800s. But their flair to history doesn't keep them from developing high-stake plans for world domination from behind the black-painted facade of Workhorse Printermakers.
: If I may pry, you two go back a number of years – where does it begin?
: Jennifer and I met in the undergraduate Fine Arts Painting program at University of Houston in 1999. She had always wanted to live in New York and when I was accepted to the MFA program at School of Visual Arts, the perfect opportunity presented itself and we moved there in August 2001. We've been inseparable ever since. In retrospect I would consider us meeting to be the defining moment in both of our creative lives.
: What originally inspired or generated the idea of opening your studio space?
: We started our first company, Product Superior, while still living in Brooklyn in 2008 and I'd been doing quite a bit of freelance work in addition to a full time design job. Running a design studio wasn't really a goal for me, so I'd only been doing the freelance work because it was occasionally fun. Very early on we shared a small office with a photographer friend and now the fourth studio later, we've found a great space of our own on the edge of the oldest neighbourhood in the city, the Heights.
: You know there's plenty to love about living in New York. What do you love about life in Houston?
: For me I love the sense of inclusiveness. In other cities many of the cool or interesting things are guarded with exclusivity or by only having a select few participate. In Houston there's a big push to get everyone who's interested involved. There's a huge community of craftspeople and individuals making astonishing things that are just becoming aware that the rest of the world would be interested in what they consider a hobby. It's an exciting time to be here and the best part is that everyone gets to participate in making their city a better place to live!
: What's so exceptional about old machines, ink, and paper?
: Running the presses - especially the proof presses - is kind of like punk rock. I appreciate many have spent hours and days meticulously setting a message to print, but there's also something so freeing about quickly throwing down some type, inking, and rolling paper with the cylinder to press.
: So what's the story on these printing machines?
: At Workhorse Printmakers we focus exclusively on letterpress printing. We run Chandler and Price platen printing presses: a 8 x 12″ old style built in 1898 and a 12 x 18″ Craftsman built in 1929. Both are hand fed meaning the paper and the printed piece have to be exchanged manually. We restored both to their current condition and the majority of our printed work is done on them.
In addition we have two Challenge cylinder proof presses that we use for larger work or pieces that require more precise printing at the expense of speed. We have a 15MA which has manual inking (ie. you turn a little wheel to distribute ink) and a 15MP which has a powered inking drum. Houstonians will often see our yellow 15MA out at various events where we print onsite as it requires no power whatsoever.
: How does your studio and your home relate?
: Good ideas and creativity aren't conceived, they're grown from the things we immerse ourselves in. We live in a midcentury house filled with designed objects we've collected, books we love and artwork we've created. These are the things we gain inspiration from so for me they're the most intimate traces of our work.
: Do you have a favourite tool in the studio?
: For me, a VERY close tie between the box cutter, 12″ L ruler, and the sledge hammer.

There are a number of nuances to registering WordPress Custom Post Types (CPTs). Here is a list I find helpful when creating CPTs.
I've included an example CPT definition at the end of this article.
This post was written as a part of my presentation at WordCamp Lehigh Valley 2016, Best Practices for Creating Custom Post Types. The slides that accompanied that talk can be found at ironco.de/presentations/best-practices-for-wordpress-cpt/.
Defining your Custom Post Type (CPT) in your theme functions.php works great until you switch themes. Therefore we want to define them somewhere independent from the theme. Where? The mu-plugins directory.
The wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory is a special directory that does NOT exist on your site by default (so don't worry if you don't have one). If you don't already have a mu-plugins directory, you can create one at wp-content/mu-plugins/.
Once you create the mu-plugins directory, any file you put it in will be automatically executed. It is like a plugin that can not be turned off.
You can read more about mu-plugins in the codex.
When registering your custom post type (CPT), the first parameter is the post type, which is the unique identifier for your CPT. If this unique identifier is the same as someone else's unique identifier, then they aren't unique and you have a problem. To reduce the chance of a collision (having the same unique identifier as someone else's code), use a prefix based on your client name (or your own company name depending on how the plugin will be used).
The post type value can be a maximum of 20 characters, so choose wisely.
The built-in WordPress Post Types (post, page, attachment, revision, and nav_menu_item) are all singular. Will plural CPT post types work? yes. Should you go back and change existing plugins to singular? no. Moving forward should you make your post type singular? yes.
When we prefixed our post type above, I'm certain some of you cried out, "but now we've mucked up our permalinks." I agree that we don't want permalinks like http://example.com/fe_recipe/guacamole/. We can accomplish a pretty permalink by decoupling the post type and the permalink. Regardless of our post type, we can independently set our rewrite slug to any value we choose. In this case, recipes seems more appropriate in the permalink than fe_recipe.
At this point, you may be concerned that two CPTs might have Permalink slugs that collide – this is a valid concern. The good news is resolving a collision of rewrite slugs is far easier than resolving a collision of two post type values.
I've written more about post types and rewrite slugs in Prefix WordPress Custom Post Type Names.
Generally in web development, directories are named with plural names (/images/, /uploads/, /scripts/). Since the rewrite slug appears as a directory in your permalink, it is appropriate to use the plural form. I've written more about this in Singular vs Plural WordPress Custom Post Type Permalink.
When WordPress 5.0 was released on 2018-12-06, it introduced a new block based editor (a.k.a. Gutenberg). All WordPress posts and pages will use this new editor, however CPTs will not use the new editor by default.
Because the new editor makes use of the WordPress REST API to read and write information, and CPTs are not accessible via the REST API by default, CPTs fallback to using the "classic editor".
In order to allow our CPT to use the block based (Gutenberg) editor, we need to explicitly tell WordPress to make the CPT accessible via the REST API. This is done by adding the setting.
WordPress includes functions like __() and _x(), allow a string to be localized (i.e. translated). We'll add these functions to our label and our rewrite slug, which will have no effect at this time but will allow a translation to be created in the future.
The with_front rewrite attribute is described as follows on the Codex register_post_type() entry as of 2016-07-14.
Most of the sites I work on do not have a front base value, making this setting irrelevant 99% of the time. In the rare cases when I am working on a site with a front base, I have never wanted to apply it to my Custom Post Types. Since this value defaults to true, I override it with 'with_front' => false when I create the CPT.
A menu icon differentiates your CPT Menu from the others in the wp-admin area. With the built-in Dashicons, it is easy to change the icon even if you use something generic.
This is the code I use to define the Recipes Post Type and the Taxonomy Recipe Tags on ferrarello.com.
// Post type should be prefixed, singular, and no more than 20 characters.
// Label should be plural and L10n ready.
// Slug should be plural and L10n ready.
// Add support for the new block based editor (Gutenberg) by exposing this CPT via the REST API.
// Url to icon or choose from built-in https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/.
// Slug should be singular and L10n ready..
Flush your permalinks after adding a Custom Post Type.
Thanks for all your post about CPT!
I'm building an events cpt with a few taxonomies, event-location and event-type.
I'm struggeling with activating,deactivating and uninstalling the plugin.
There are so many examples that I don't know what to use anymore.
What is the "right" way to do it?
And when the plugin is uninstalled, do i lose all the data?
I'm using https://generatewp.com/ to help me out for easy setup but when I create a custom taxonomy it sets a function for each taxonomy. Do you need a function per taxonomy or can you just create multiple taxonomies under one function, do you even need to set a function for the taxonomies, you don't use one for your taxonomy in the example above?
I've moved my example in this post into a plugin Iron Code Recipe Custom Post Type, which includes the activation/deactivation hooks.
If you look at the plugin, you'll see the activation/deactivation hooks. The key is in the activation hook, you need to call your function that registers your custom post type (because the activation hook executes before the custom post type is registered) – in my case this is fe_recipe_cpt().
Regarding adding taxonomies, you are correct you do not need additional functions to add taxonomies. If I wanted to add a second taxonomy to my recipes, I could add a second register_taxonomy() call inside fe_recipe_cpt().
Thanks for the quick response, this is very helpful!
Hi Sal – really enjoyed your WordPress TV presentation so thank you for sharing … while you sold me on importance of migrating functions.php code into mu-plugins section, I was wondering how you would recommend using a WordPress Multisite with series of mu-plugins that get loaded just for specific sites and not across all sites ..??..
Thus I suspect in the wpmudev.org example below, their file, localmuplugins.php, must be some kind of loader that checks global blog_id and if found then includes the code in the corresponding mu sub-folder ..??..
That is an interesting situation you're describing.
I'm guessing localmuplugins.php does something like call get_blog_details() to get information about the current site.
Then based on that, it loads all the files in the corresponding directory. It is probably similar to the code I use in the functions.php file of Bootstrap Genesis to load all of the files in the /lib directory.
If you do build something like this, I hope you'll add a link here for others looking for the same type of functionality.
Hey Sal, thanks for sharing these tips!
1) You cannot leverage activation/deactivation hooks for flushing permalinks. Not a big deal because you just have to remember to manually save the permalinks.
2) The post types will be available on all sub-sites in a multi-site installation, which may or may not be desired.
I realize point #2 is more of an edge case :). What do you think?
You bring up some great points. Generally, my information in this post is from the perspective of building a full WordPress site. Recently, most of my work has been on plugins, in which case I define the CPTs in the plugin.
If I were building out a full website, I would still have a preference for defining my CPTs in an mu-plugin.
You cannot leverage activation/deactivation hooks for flushing permalinks.
As you mentioned once you manually update the permalinks, you don't have to worry about needing to do it again since an mu-plugin can not be deactivated. I think the benefits still outweigh this extra (one-time) step.
The post types will be available on all sub-sites in a multi-site installation, which may or may not be desired.
If there is only one site in a multi-site installation that does NOT have the CPT, I'd still define it in an mu-plugin (with code to exclude that particular site). I've seen situations like this where there is one parent site that is different (without the CPT) and all of the other sites are the same (with the CPT).
If more than one site in a multi-site installation does not have the CPT, I would define the CPT in a plugin.
Of course, these are just my thoughts on the subject. If your team comes up with a different set of internal practices, I'd be interested to hear more about them.
Thanks Sal for all of your Tips!
it comes to my mind the "cpt_products" which is very Worn Out.
I've updated this post with information on how to add Support for the Block Based Editor (Gutenberg).

Public security minister says preferable to take tough measures for a short time in order to defeat the coronavirus quickly and prevent deaths

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan has instructed the Israel Police to prepare for a complete lockdown of the country, calling such a move "inevitable," according to Hebrew media reports Wednesday morning.
According to the reports, Erdan held a conference call Tuesday night with the chief of police and heads of other security agencies, following the latest update to guidelines issued by the Health Ministry to stem of the growing number of Israelis infected with the new coronavirus.
"I am convinced that in view of the situation that has arisen, this is an inevitable decision that will save many lives," Erdan reportedly said.
The public security minister was said to have requested that police and security chiefs urgently prepare and present to him a detailed plan for implementing a countrywide lockdown, in which only essential workers will be allowed to leave their homes, while other citizens will only be allowed out in order to buy supplies and for medical treatment. If a lockdown is ordered, police will be placed in charge of enforcement, while the IDF Home Front Command will be in charge of the supply of essential items.

Erdan reportedly told participants in the conference call that while a decision to impose a complete lockdown would be a very difficult one, in the current situation it is preferable to take tough measures for a short time in order to defeat the coronavirus quickly and prevent deaths.
The Health Ministry introduced sweeping new restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus on Tuesday, instructing Israelis not to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary, but stopping short of imposing a mandatory lockdown.
Health Ministry Director General Moshe Bar Siman-Tov warned following the new directives that thousands of Israelis could die of the virus if anti-contagion measures were not adhered to.
"We assess that scenarios like in Italy and Spain can happen here too," Bar Siman-Tov said. "In the coming days… the rate of new cases will rise — to 100 a day or more. We may come to a situation of hundreds more [cases] each day," he said.
In the end, he said, "people will die — possibly even in the next few days."
"Unfortunately, in scenarios we have, many thousands [of Israelis] could die," he warned.

Saturday, 30th January 2016, 9:00 am
A coal-cutting machine has been bought from Kellingley Colliery.
The New Crofton Co-Op Colliery is expected to open in Crofton in June and could mine around 200,000 tonnes of coal a year.
A coal-cutting machine used at Kellingley Colliery, which closed last year, is the latest piece of equipment to have been saved and it will be used on the new site.
Jonathan Clarke, the co-operative's director, said: "We are really pleased to have bought the Joy CM15 continuous miner machine from Kellingley. The machines cost around £2m new and it was part of the local industry."
Other pieces of machinery have also been bought from Kellingley and Hatfield Colliery, near Doncaster, which closed in June last year with the loss of 430 jobs.
Mr Clarke said: "It is unusual to buy from former collieries but otherwise the machines would have been scrapped for peanuts."
The Crofton colliery will be a drift mine, which will use sloping tunnels to extract coal from shallow seams.
The drift mining technique has lower costs than traditional deep mines, which have vertical shafts sunk hundreds of metres below the ground.
It is expected to extract 4.9m tonnes of coal over the next 20 years from a seam worth around £200m.
The mine is being set up as a workers' co-operative, which will see profits re-invested into social enterprises.
And it is expected to create up to 60 new jobs and around 90 per cent of the production would go to power stations.
Work at the site is expected to start in June, with the first coal being mined around 10 weeks later.
The site at Crofton was originally earmarked for open cast mining by British Coal in the 1980s.
Kellingley and Hatfield collieries closed last year, bringing an end to centuries of deep coal mining.
Kellingley, known locally as the Big K, began production in 1965 and became the largest deep pit in Europe.
It was hailed as the new generation of coal mining and could bring up to 900 tonnes an hour to the surface. And at its height, Kellingley employed more than 2,000 workers.
Around 450 works carried out their final shifts at the site in December last year.
Hatfield Colliery, near Doncaster, closed in June last year with the loss of 430 jobs after almost a century of production.
The last lump of coal mined was presented to the Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones to mark the end of mining in the region.
In 1980, there was 50,000 miners in South Yorkshire.

As I settle into my new role with SAPinsider, I've been thinking about what topics to cover for my weekly articles. I'm struck by the many open questions facing the SAP user community today — questions driven by new technologies, new user expectations, and a fundamental shift in the role data and analytics play in our everyday personal and professional lives.
We are all comfortable with quickly changing personal productivity technologies and targeted use of data and analytics. We've all accepted that Amazon seems to know what we want to buy before we do, for example. We use apps by the dozens and fully expect those apps to learn our habits, "know" us, and deliver highly personalized experiences.
But as comfortable as we are with these types of technologies in our personal lives, in our professional lives, we are still utilizing reporting and analytics software and solutions designed in the 90s. I am equally guilty. I have been working with SAP's reporting and analytics solutions since the R/3 SIS, LIS, HRIS days and with its business warehouse (BW) since version 1.0E.
When SAP launched SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW), it made us think about transaction systems and reporting systems as entirely different entities with completely different design principles. We utilized the technology at our disposal, and we made the best of it. But we quickly realized that while SAP BW met some of our reporting and analytics needs, it did not meet all of them. We designed reporting solutions as standalone systems optimized for "reading" data vs "writing" data, moving data from one system to another to shift the burden of analysis from OLTP servers to OLAP servers. And we created layers of data redundancy by aggregating and pre-calculating data for performance optimization.
Twenty years later, there are thousands of organizations and millions of users who are still utilizing those 90s-based solutions. We now find ourselves at a major turning point in both technology and our perspectives on how we should be using technology in our professional lives.
This, therefore, leaves us with some big questions: What does the future of SAP Analytics look like? What are embedded analytics, and do they replace BW? Is BW dead? Are enterprise data warehouses dead? Can there actually be a "single version of the truth"? Some questions are more personal to each of us: Where or how do my skills fit in this new world? What is a data lake, and why should I care? Am I a dinosaur for still wanting to receive my piece-of-paper reports?
These are all valid questions that each deserve — and will get — a full discussion. But they are more than I can cover in one sitting. Therefore, I would like to separate this conversation into a multi-part series, opening the first part with a discussion on embedded analytics.
Embedded Analytics is a highly touted feature of SAP S/4HANA. As the name implies, embedded analytics are built directly into the business processes of SAP S/4HANA, providing context relevant information and tools that allow you to analyze data in real time as you perform your transactions. The new user experience of SAP S/4HANA is more than just a new front-end tool — it is about recognizing that for you to effectively perform your work functions, you need information upon which to base decisions (large and small). And you need that information while you are in the middle of conducting transactions — not two days later. Do you need to see a customer's open A/R aging status while deciding whether to extend them more credit? Embedded analytics. Do you need to determine which supplier to place an order with based on who has historically been the most reliable? Embedded analytics.
Embedded Analytics comes to us standardly with SAP S/4HANA based on what processes you deploy. It leverages a virtual data model of your SAP S/4HANA data based on core data services (CDS). Just like the SAP BW content library of old, SAP delivers a starter set of most-commonly-asked-for and best-practice insights as its Embedded Analytics, but it provides the ability for us to extend the functionality to meet our individual needs. Think of Embedded Analytics as the operational reporting you have today, which you've either addressed via ABAP reports directly in your SAP ERP system or by cubes, queries, and reports built in your SAP BW system.
So now you may start to be seeing where and how embedded analytics is driving one of the bigger questions in the SAP ecosystem today — if Embedded Analytics is now my operational reporting, does that mean that I no longer need a separate SAP BW system?
If you look at these characteristics and weigh them against the characteristics or capabilities of your SAP BW system, you see that Embedded Analytics will NOT replace all the capabilities of SAP BW, unless your SAP BW system only uses SAP ERP data and only delivers operational reporting. Should you interpret that to mean that SAP BW is not dead? Yes and no.
Embedded Analytics does not replace every use case fulfilled by our legacy SAP BW systems; therefore, we need to look at what is the future for those uses cases NOT met by Embedded Analytics — such as use cases of ad-hoc reporting, advanced analytics, and working with non-SAP or unstructured data. We will talk about what's ahead for these use cases (and more) in future discussions, but now I present you with this perspective: the technology and design of our legacy SAP BW systems is obsolete, not dead. What we hoped to achieve with those solutions — a single point of access and interaction with harmonized data integrated from SAP and non-SAP systems to satisfy the use cases of a wide range of users — is still a valid goal.
Our options for how we achieve that goal have changed, but the fundamental objective and goals driving our earlier design can — and should — be leveraged as a basis for how we use the new tools available. We've learned so much over the last 20 years about how our data comes together, how we use that data, and what types of insight are needed. None of that is dead, and we are presented with an opportunity to deliver on those goals in a better, simpler way with today's technologies.
Users' expectations are demanding that we re-look at the way in which we engage them and the information we provide them.
Users expect a more personalized user experience that provides them with the data and analytics necessary for their individual functions.
Embedded Analytics addresses operational reporting within the SAP S/4HANA system.
Embedded Analytics is not meant to address all enterprise reporting and analytics needs.
(Legacy) SAP BW is still a key component in thousands of SAP customer landscapes, but advances in technologies present an opportunity to revisit how you address your enterprise reporting needs.
Obsolete does not mean dead; leverage those components that have value or are differentiating and design them into modern technologies.
And finally, there will be few absolutes in our discussion. As with so much in the SAP world, there are multiple tools and options to meet most requirements. However, there is one absolute that I will share with you now… there is no single "right" answer to the question of what the future will look like. We will each have to determine what the best future is based on our individual needs, users, and technology portfolios.
Thank you for joining me on this journey to the future, and please do not hesitate to reach out with your comments, feedback, and questions via email (penny.silvia@wispubs.com) or on Twitter (@pennysilvia).

Wow! I love the babyshower cake! it s beautiful! Good job!


Are you still unsure about the whole cultivating gratitude thing?
I understand it can be tough to wrap your brain around, especially if you are in a challenging season. It can seem almost impossible to choose gratitude through your day when you don't feel like it. The hard truth is we can actually choose to be grateful for something not based only on our feelings or emotions. While it can be very hard to be thankful in all things right of the start, we can learn to look at small things through our day to give thanks for.
Choosing just one random thing when you are struggling with gratefulness can be a great way to jumpstart your pursuit of gratitude. If you're still on the fence about starting the practice of gratitude for yourself, I'd like to issue you a super simple challenge! Just for today, find one random thing in your world to be grateful for. This is a low-stakes activity. It doesn't take much time or effort. Are you up for it? Keep reading, and I'll show you how to choose gratitude today!
Mama let me encourage you, it really is possible! There are things to be grateful for, even on the difficult days. In fact, it's even more impactful when you discover little rays of light in the darkest times. You can look for anything in your in your day that inspires you. A smile from a stranger, an extra long hug from your child, a kind word or a verse that speaks to your heart. Even if you are struggling with depression or anxiety God's provision of the roof over your head could be your source of gratitude – I know it has been mine before. A beautiful flower or the leaves changing in the fall might be enough to influence your mood for the better. Find just one random thing today and give thanks for that!
I don't know about you, but I find it hard to be ungrateful when I am focused on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent or worthy of praise. Really any of those words can help me think of at least one thing I am thankful for. Turning a bad mood around, even just a little bit, by acknowledging one small good thing can be quite meaningful. Using this verse as a "filter" for what you are thinking about can help you focus on gratitude. It's so important that we remember, our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors – both in positive and negative ways.
Often in life, all it takes is one small step to spark major change. Yes "baby steps" do really work. Not only do they work, but every habit or practice begins with one small step. Taking a moment to be grateful for just one thing in your world today can improve your mood, lessen your stress and refocus your heart on the Lord and His goodness. Even just a little bit.
You may notice a weight is lifted from your chest or that some of your anxiety has eased. Pay attention to how choosing gratitude (even when you don't feel like it) helps your perspective improve- even if it's reflecting on gratitude just once today! This shift in your thoughts and attitude can influence your actions in a positive way (I bet your kids will notice!). And guess what? You might just find it's a bit easier to find that one thing to be grateful for tomorrow.
So friend, ready to give it a try? Find one tiny spark to light the flame of gratitude today. Be intentional in noticing the effect it has on you. You may find it's easier and more rewarding than you ever thought possible to begin to choose gratitude daily!
Did you take that step? Let me know!
Message me (found in the bottom right corner), email, comment below or post in our Imperfect Moms Facebook Group !

When alumni Dan Perrault '09 and Tony Yacenda '10 pitched the idea for the documentary parody American Vandal to Netflix in 2016, neither possessed any television experience. Both said they worked freelance and odd jobs to just barely make ends meet, and Perrault was even picking up shifts as a children's birthday party entertainer.
The Emmy-nominated Netflix original series treats a comedic crime with the seriousness of a real one. The fictional documentary features Vine star Jimmy Tatro and former Nickelodeon actor Tyler Alvarez.
The first season investigates the mystery behind a series of phallic graffiti that appears in a high school parking lot. The second season, released Sept. 14, follows a criminal called "The Turd Burglar" who contaminates a cafeteria's lemonade with laxatives.
Perrault, a producer and writer for the show, said experts in the criminology field informed the second season.
Perrault said he and director Yacenda wrote the show alongside Emerson alumni, twin brothers Kevin and Matt McManus '09. The brothers wrote a total of four episodes across the show's two seasons.
According to Perrault, he and Yacenda binge-watched documentary series like Making a Murderer, The Jinx, and Serial prior to making American Vandal. He said he and Yacenda lived together at the time, and they found out about Netflix's interest in the show while together at home.
Perrault, who graduated with an acting BFA, said he felt confident during the pitch meeting with Netflix, where he took on the persona of a documentarian similar to the series' protagonist Peter Maldonado.
Yacenda said he spoke about the series from a directorial standpoint during the pitch and did not feel nervous either.
Out of everyone involved with the show, Matt McManus described Yacends and Perrault in a phone interview as the most unbelievable success story. He said he and his brother directed the feature film Funeral Kings before they became involved in American Vandal. However, Yacenda and Perrault previously only focused on creating viral short-form content for outlets like Funny or Die and College Humor before catching their big break with American Vandal.
Matt McManus said he and his brother met Yacenda through a mutual friend at Emerson. He said before he actually met Perrault, he saw him perform with the comedy troupe Chocolate Cake City.
Yacenda said in the case of American Vandal working professionally with friends lacks drawbacks. He said the four of them can communicate honestly in the writers' room—not always the case in television.
"I think there's an honesty and communication with friends. When you're dealing with the writers' room, there's a lot of egos, and you have to be political in the way you collaborate with other writers. But with the McManuses or Dan, we just have a shorthand where I can just be like, 'No, I don't like that,'" Yacenda said.
Yacenda said he advises current and future Emerson students try to make these types of strong relationships in college.

Q: Obtain reference to UIPopoverController w/segues One can programmatically create a UIPopoverController then set its viewController, passthough views etc:
- (IBAction)showCustomPopoverButtonHandler:(id)sender {
    if (self.colorPicker == nil) {
        self.colorPicker = [[ColorPickerTableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
        _colorPicker.delegate = self;
        self.colorPickerPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:_colorPicker];
    }

    [self.colorPickerPopover setPassthroughViews:@[self.containerView]];
    [self.colorPickerPopover presentPopoverFromRect:self.showCustomPopoverButton.frame
                                             inView:self.view
                           permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight
                                           animated:YES];
}

However, I'd like to leverage storyboards/seques. When take this approach, I don't see how to obtain a programmatic reference to the UIPopoverController instance:

Anybody know how to do this? I would expect something like
UIPopoverController* pvc = self.popoverController;

I've also enumerated the childViewControllers to check against their class type:
   // Get references to child view controllers.
    for(NSUInteger index = 0; index < self.childViewControllers.count; index++){
        id obj = self.childViewControllers[index];
        if([obj isKindOfClass:[UIPopoverController class]]){
            self.menuPopoverController = self.childViewControllers[index];
        }
    }

A: Found answer in apple doc: UIStoryboardPopoverSegue Class Ref
I casted the segue in prepareForSegue, and set strong iVar to the popoverController property like such:
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
    if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:YOUR_SEGUE_IDENTIFIER]){
        // Typical delegate setup.....
        UIStoryboardPopoverSegue* ps = (UIStoryboardPopoverSegue*)segue;
        self.popoverController = ps.popoverController;
        [self.popoverController setPassthroughViews:/* array of views */];
    }
}

Works like a charm.
Alternatively you can use it like this (in the same method)
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
    if([segue isKindOfClass:[UIStoryboardPopoverSegue class]]){
        self.menuPopoverController = ((UIStoryboardPopoverSegue*)segue).popoverController;
    }
}

Many thanks Lisa for a really brilliant chat this morning. I feel focused and better about myself and my abilities (not my failings) as a Mum.
Has it all got too much?
Are you stressed by family life?
Does it feel like nobody is listening or do you feel alone with your stuff and quite frankly aren't up for sharing it with friends and well-meaning family. Actually, you are sick of hearing the same old story and are hoping that next week it will be different.
Well, I think you can. I think you can feel lighter, more empowered (in control) and armed with new strategies. You just need to pick up the phone and tell me about it.
Whether it's about bedtime wrangles, angry outbursts, setting limits, fostering independence, sibling rivalry, homework, friendship worries or something that you or your child just can't seem to get past, you can find a different solution with some Smiley coaching. You will be in safe hands and receive warm, wholehearted, non- judgemental support which will help to share your story and make sense of it.
To be heard is hugely healing. To be understood, more so. To have practical and easy solutions which you can implement straight away is motivating and to be told 'it will pass and you are a great Mum!' is priceless. There are no appraisals or feedback in this job.
Why is my child so angry all the time?
Why do I feel as if I'm repeating myself and nobody is listening?
Why does my child seem to hate me or tell me that I don't love them?
Why are we constantly fighting all the time?
It is also a good way to get to know me and talk more about coaching if you are considering it for your child.

Pod vapes are becoming more and more popular taking over as the first choice of e-cigarette for smokers who want to switch to vaping. Thanks to their simplistic and yet stylish design Pod pens and pod mods are really easy to use. You usually buy a pod which is pre-filled with e-liquid and simply place it into the body containing the automatic battery, then you just start vaping.
Pod pens usually only come with one nicotine strength, our advice is to choose one at around 3-5% nicotine which will deliver a more smooth and tasty vape. The higher in nicotine you go the harsher the vape.
There are basically two types of pod systems on the market; pod mods and pod pens, but by far the most popular are the smaller, stylish pod pens this is the type which we will look at here.
We tested all the leading vape pod pens on the market, some performed really well, others not so good.
The Breeze 2 is not only a really easy vape pod to use but has the added advantage of having refillable pods. This means you can choose your own e-liquid flavors and strengths or even make your own! The vape pod produces a smooth and tasteful vape that makes it our best choice in the vape pod category.

Андреа Альберт П'єр Казірагі ( ) — старший син Кароліни, принцеси Ганноверської, та її другого чоловіка Стефано Казірагі.  Андреа є старшим онуком Реньє III, принца Монако, й американської акторки Грейс Келлі. Наразі Андреа Казірагі є четвертим у черзі престолонаслідування монакського трону після своїх двоюрідних братів-близнюків і матері.

Біографія
Казірагі народився 8 червня 1984 року в госпітальному центрі принцеси Грейс в Ла-Коль, Монако, в сім'ї принцеси Монако Кароліни та її чоловіка, італійського бізнесмена й спортсмена Стефано Казірагі. Андреа — старший онук Реньє III, принца Монако, і його дружини, колишньої американської акторки Грейс Келлі — був названий на честь друга дитинства свого батька — дядька по материнській лінії принца Альберта й прадіда по материнській лінії принца П'єра, герцога Валентинуа. Хрещеними батьками Казірагі є його тітка по материнській лінії принцеса Стефані та його дядько по батьковій лінії Марко Казірагі. Сестра Андреа Шарлотта народилася 3 серпня 1986 року, а брат П'єр — 5 вересня 1987 року.

3 жовтня 1990 року батько Казірагі загинув у аварії на швидкісному катері в Монако.

Андреа вільно володіє французькою, італійською, англійською та німецькою мовами. Його хобі та інтереси включають читання, футбол, верхову їзду, водні види спорту, катання на лижах та колекціонування годинників Swatch.

Особисте життя
У липні 2012 року принцеса Кароліна опублікувала заяву, в якій оголосила, що її син Андреа Казірагі й Татьяна Санто Домінго заручилися після семи років стосунків.

6 листопада Домінго згадала в інтерв'ю La Voz Libre, що чекає дитину. 21 березня 2013 року в Портлендській лікарні в Лондоні, Англія жінка народила хлопчика на ім'я Алешандре Андреа Стефано «Саша» Казірагі. Оскільки Андреа й Татьяна не були одружені на момент народження, їхній перший син у той час не був включений в монакську лінію спадкування. Однак після шлюбу він зайняв п'яте місце в лінії спадкування престолу Монако.

Казірагі й Санто Домінго одружилися на цивільній церемонії в Княжому палаці Монако 31 серпня 2013 року. Пізніше, 1 лютого 2014 року, відбулася релігійна церемонія в Гштааді, Швейцарія.

Друга дитина подружжя, дочка на ім'я Індія, народилася в Лондоні 12 квітня 2015 року. Третя дитина, хлопчик на ім'я Максиміліан Реньє, народився в Монако 19 квітня 2018 року.

Abstract. The cosmic-rays that pervade the Galaxy (including the Earth's environment) are thought to be accelerated in strong shocks via a diffusive mechanism (1st order Fermi) originally proposed in 1978. The best place to study that phenomenon is the blast wave created in the interstellar medium by supernova explosions. Theory has it that in young supernova remnants (where the shock velocity is several thousand km/s) the mechanism is so efficient that it transfers a sizable fraction of the kinetic energy to the accelerated particles rather than the thermal gas. This in turn modifies the shock itself, increasing the compression ratio above 4.
I will present the observational constraints on that mechanism accumulated in X-rays since the launch of the Chandra and XMM-Newton telescopes, illustrated on Cas A, Tycho, SN 1006. The most spectacular of those is the morphology of the X-ray synchrotron emission in the young supernova remnants, concentrated in a very thin shell at the blast wave. The most likely interpretation is that the accelerated particles cool down (due to the synchrotron emission itself) very fast behind the shock. This leads to the idea that the magnetic field was amplified at the shock (by the acceleration process itself) up to several hundred micro-Gauss. A second characteristic directly related to the acceleration mechanism is the width of the shell filled by the shocked ambient medium (limited inwards by the supernova ejecta).
Finally, I will discuss the gamma-ray emission of supernova remnants, in the light of the recent TeV results by HESS and Fermi. The GeV range is the best to look for hadronic emission (nuclear interactions between cosmic-ray protons and the interstellar gas, followed by π0 decay) in middle-aged remnants, whereas the TeV range is more sensitive to the leptonic emission (Inverse Compton on CMB, infra-red and optical photons).

Our cleric takes a few good wallops from the zombies while attempting to fire off whatever arcane defenses he has, but in such short range and high stakes, he appears to be utterly useless. Our ranger finally takes notice and fires a pinpoint accurate longbow shot across the square. The barbarian and the fighter both repeatedly fail to pick up the statue.
When all seems lost for our cleric and the zombies decide that he is no longer a threat, they change targets and begin to descend upon our barbarian. With a sort of divine kismet, he and the fighter somehow simultaneously succeed in lofting the statue high off the ground, in a sort of battering-ram style, and begin to run forward towards the lurching creatures, while our ranger gives her assistance in the attack.
However, it was simply not meant to be. The fighter's once-tight grip slips and he cops a groin full of statue, causing him to yelp in sudden pain and let out a short breath of flame which singes the statue, and also our ranger. Having one end of the statue suddenly slam into the ground, our barbarian can only do so much and only barely taps the zombie, before also losing his own grip. The statue, mercilessly mocking them from the ground, now rendered useless by our adventurers exhaustion.
Upset by his battering ram plan falling apart, and inspired by his previous flame-based dispatching of a cultist, our fighter decides his next course of action should be to shove a lit torch down the throat of the closest zombie - an action he somehow pulls off with the finesse only seen when someone has clearly practised this moved previously.
At this point, the remaining zombie is dispatched in two or three strikes from the rest of the group's more... traditional weaponry. Where's the fun in that, you may ask?
It's in the adventure.
I will attempt to keep track of our events and document them as thoroughly as I can remember them. I will begin when we first noticed something was off.

Q: Run a function when importing module in Python What I want to achieve: I have a function (object/module/etc) that allows me to run a model. This model requires a few parameters, so I want to have them in a config file rather than pass all through the code. So what I want is to have a config file created automatically when my module is imported. Is it possible in python? Can I have some pointers on where to start please?

A: All the code in a python file is run when its imported. If you have
def f():
  print("ran")

print("imported")

Then when you import it it will print imported
This is also why you sometimes see if __name__=="__main__":
In some files. The code in that block is only run if the file is run as main not imported.
However creating files in a predetermined location may be bad UX, so if you want other people to use your library id think of a better solution.
Generally you can just put code at top level of a module and it will run.

WAYU: What do we know?
indiaaq	Projects, Technology	 September 28, 2018 November 25, 2019 2 Minutes
On September 26, 2018, Dr. Harsh Varshan inaugurated WAYU, a device designed by CSIR-NEERI. WAYU (Wind Augmentation PurifYing Unit) — is expected to keep an area of 500 sq m around the unit clean, and such devices are being installed at busy traffic intersections. Each unit costs INR 60,000, and monthly maintenance costs are expected to be under INR 2000. The plan is to install 54 such monitors across Delhi by October 15, 2018
What is WAYU?
"The device, which brings together developments in chemistry, physics and micro-meteorology on a single platform, consists of two stages. In the first stage, a fan sucks air around the device and pollutants like dust and particulate matter are separate using three filters of different dimensions. After this, the air is led into a specially designed chamber where carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons content in the air are oxidized into less harmful carbon dioxide using activated carbon coated with titanium dioxide. The oxidation is supported by two ultraviolet lamps (UV). The purified air is then ejected with force into the atmosphere so as to help dilute pollutant content in the outside air."
Source: The Hindu Businessline
More on this story here , here and here (Hindi).
However, this comes after a trial in Mumbai in 2017 was not found to be very effective:
A week after outdoor air purifying units that go by the acronym WAYU were inaugurated by the state government to be set up at four locations in Mumbai, a visit to these sites revealed that none of the units were functioning, nobody was monitoring them and there was no unit at Ghatkopar — one of the designated sites
More from this story here.
Earlier this year, Delhi government had installed a device (read the story here, but it is unclear if it was effective and what the next steps are.
And now, architects are floating ideas:
Could a grid of giant filters help clean up Delhi's polluted air?
Dr. Sarath Guttikunda has previously written about why the anti-pollution devices aren't a good option:
"Installing an air filter in public is more like avoiding the problem and diverting attention away than solving it. Emissions should always be controlled at the source.
This is not the first time Delhi has experimented with this idea. Before the Commonwealth Games in 2010, an Italian company installed a $300,000-air-filter in Connaught Place, claiming it to be the cleanest spot in Delhi. There are no numbers to back this up, except for the 2.5 kg of dust collected during its one month of operation. Our estimate for Delhi's particulate matter pollution is approximately 60,000 tons per year, not including seasonal dust storms and agricultural-clearing emissions. That is 5 million kg per month. Assuming that Connaught Place was the cleanest because of the filter's operations, we would actually have needed at least 2 million of them to cover the city."
Read the full piece here.
Here's what he sent us:
Dr. Anumita Roychowdhury, CSE has this to say:
The outdoor purifiers are "a distraction", says Anumita Roychowdhury, an executive director at the Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment. "We are saying, focus on the real action of cutting pollution at the source."
Overall, there are widespread concerns in the scientific community about the effectiveness of such mitigation plans. A project in China focused on an anti-smog tower (listen to its creator), and similar ideas have been proposes elsewhere. However, these ideas have not been found to be successful.
China's giant smog-sucking tower was simply no match for its air pollution
In China, questions raised over efficacy of smog towers
Here are comments from Dr. Alastair Lewis, University of York (UK) on such programs:
Beware China's 'anti-smog tower' and other plans to pull pollution from the air
