Every year, as we all fawn over the newest, shiniest toy, last year's model is left deserted. Do consumers every really stop to think about what becomes of last year's junk once they've purchased this year's treasure? What becomes of last year's iPhone, or the dishwasher you just replaced? Designing for a circular economy creates an awareness around these kinds of questions, and looks to implement innovative solutions to decrease our ecological footprint and plan for the future.
IDEO continues to amaze with their endless stream of innovative ideas and design thinking processes.
Designing a Circular Economy
What if we had a new way to design products, services and businesses that were good for people, the planet, and business?
A circular economy is a better economy.
Image retrieved from: http://www.wrap.org.uk/about-us/about/wrap-and-circular-economy
Being conscious of our consumption – and the waste associated – is a step in the right direction toward achieving a more circular economy.
Ideo Says The Future Of Design Is Circular
When Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam replaced its lighting, it didn't pay for the bulbs. Instead, the airport pays for light as a service-and Philips, which designed the system, is responsible for recycling or reusing anything that breaks. It's an example of the growth of circular design.
If we were all to think a little more circular, our home would be a much healthier place.

DJ GarGar's unconventional San Diego band samples
The Beautiful State draws from No Knife, Buck-O-Nine and others
Jay Allen Sanford 2 p.m., Dec. 5
Kamau Kenyatta: Keyboards, Saxophone
Genre: Alternative, Jazz, Noise | Xprmntl
Sound description: Experimental jazz
RIYL: Hubert Laws, Earl Klugh, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea
No shows scheduled | Post a show | View show history
Inception: San Diego, 2000
Current Status: Lecturing at the University Of California San Diego and occasionally performing.
Influences: Steve Lacy, Wayne Shorter
Pianist and saxophonist Kamau Kenyatta is known as a performer, producer, and a lecturer in the University of California's Jazz Studies Department.
"I'm from Detroit, and I was living in Tampa, Florida, for a couple of years. It's a nice place to live, but not enough work, industry-wise. I thought I'd move to Los Angeles, and I have a cousin, Tanya Lewis, that lives here who invited me to stay with her while I made the transition. She was a life-saver. I drove back and forth for every audition, but things didn't take off the way I wanted them to, and I thought, San Diego."
His versatility comes from his early exposure to a vast array of musical styles. Kamau has worked with jazz greats such as Hubert Laws, Earl Klugh, and Donald Byrd. World tours have taken him to over 20 countries and included stints with Donald Byrd, Carl Anderson, and the Supremes.
Kamau has also collaborated with Hubert Laws in writing the score for Small Steps, Big Strides a Fox network documentary concerning the history of African-American film. He has also written and supervised music for The Dawn at My Back, a Sundance Film Festival award-winning interactive DVD-ROM memoir. He has also worked with Mimi Klein, local Joe Garrison, and others.
His project "Celebrating Neruda," intertwines dance, Latin American music, and the poetry of the Chilean genius, Pablo Neruda. His album Destiny was released in 2007.
Kenyatta's protégé Gregory Porter won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards for Liquid Spirits, an album Kenyatta produced. Kenyatta met Porter while subbing as a teacher at UC San Diego for George Lewis.
"It was a jazz ensemble and there really wasn't any material for Gregory. He was just singing horn parts. I was very clear on his talent from the beginning and I approached him after class and said, 'Let's craft a repertoire.' And he took me up on it, and we immediately became very close. He always calls me a mentor, which reminds me of our age difference, but I don't think of it like that. I just think of him as a friend. I grew up in Detroit, and I had a lot of help from older musicians; it's just how we did things up there. And I was carrying on that tradition."
In 2017, Gregory Porter's Take Me to the Alley, again assisted by Kenyatta, earned top prize for "Best Jazz Vocal" at that February's Grammy Award ceremony.
Kenyatta's early 2019 project was a collaboration with singer Alicia Olatuja (Intuition: Songs From The Minds of Women) that took him out of town for a week. "I had to travel to New Jersey, and Manhattan to make that record, in a blizzard, no less!" he recalled for the Reader. "But I got to work with so many top musicians; it was very exciting."

We're still a few months away from production beginning on Batman vs. Superman and while some details on the highly-anticipated sequel have emerged, it is still very much a mystery. Even star Ben Affleck, who will put on the cape and cowl as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the film, hasn't spoken all that much about the project. However, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Affleck had a few things to say about the advantages of working on these kinds of movies and a lot of high praise for director Zack Snyder.
"Well, I don?t want to get too far afield and I?m sure I?ll have time to talk about Batman down the road. What I?ll say is that I really like Zack. From what I?ve seen of what?s Zack is doing, it?s made me very excited. One of the nice things about being an actor in that movie is they show you all the stuff before anyone else gets to see it. So all the sort of world-creation, and the take on the character and the other characters is really exciting. And at the end of the day, the truth is it?s really directors that make movies work or not ? especially these kinds of movies, where it?s about the whole world, and a rising tide lifts all ships. And if it all has integrity, if it all has a sense of realism, then it works. And if it doesn?t, than it doesn?t really matter what everyone?s doing [on the screen] because they just look like a bunch of Mexican wrestlers in suits."
Affleck will of course go toe-to-toe with Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman in the upcoming film, which will also star Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne. The Zack Snyder-directed Batman vs. Superman hits theaters on July 17, 2015.

Discjunkie's Comments
OK, here's a classic to say the least. This was really quite an eye-catcher when it came out but nowadays it's been surpassed by a lot of sets I suppose. Still, for a metall case it's still very nicely embossed and all in all a very worthy release to keep of this classic film. To bad they didn't decide to make the slipcase go all the way around the back but other than that I guess I'm fine with it.
This release features three different versions of the film. The original theatrical cut (136 min NTSC), the director's cut (153 min NTSC) AND the extended special edition cut (156 min NTSC) which comes as a special easter egg. All three versions are presented via seamless branching.
And in the end, this is one of those sets that really holds up after all these years. This is still ranked as one of (if not THE) best release of this film so far. It's got a huge amount of extras as well as a DTS soundtrack and a good transfer. To put it simply; this is just one of those editions you need to own, even if it's not the most sought after edition out there.
This release has actually been pressed twice. The original release came on a standard doublsided DVD-18 disc with exactly the same features and the same metall case as this does. When the first pressing went OOP it was replaced by just a standard keepcase and a cardbard slipcase (still with only 1 disc - doublesided).
However, then there was a second pressing that contained exactly the same features but it was released on two (singlesided) DVD-9 discs. This was also presented with the metall slipcase on the first run (and that's the one I have!), and was later replaced by 2 singlesided discs in a keepcase and a cardboard slipcase.

Master for Minecraft(Pocket Edition)-Mod Launcher. Read The Review!
Review Summary
If you're tired of playing Minecraft on your PC, you may as well try it out on your Android smartphone. The game is not new on the market, and this version comes with several similar features to the PC version.
Design 10/10
The design feature I find attractive is the floating windows. They help me stay focused on the game always while also allowing me to play while browsing. The clear interface also communicates meaning and function, so even first-timers can still figure out how the app works and how to navigate through it.
Functionality 10/10
The Master for Minecraft Launcher operates similarly to the game launcher in the PC version. Notably, you can use the Android app alongside the Minecraft Pocket Edition; you just have to ensure it's installed first. The app allows me to configure the settings before starting the game. I can also import mods, textures, add-ons, and skins to make the game more interesting when applied. The Minecraft Pocket Edition updates the maps, texture, skins, mods, and texture every day, so I can enjoy the latest features that make the game fun.
For the app skins, the 3D preview allows me to preview the thousands of available options in 360 degrees. I can also download them for free. Another exciting feature is that it allows me to change the weather, mode, time, and minimap. In fact, there are plenty of mods in the app for all Android devices including TNT, pet, polar bear, and gun mods.
Ease of Use 9/10
One excellent feature that makes Master for Minecraft Launcher a leading gaming APK download is the floating window. With this feature, I can switch between the game and other applications instantly. For a much smoother experience when using the launcher, I recommend that you update to the latest version, Master for Minecraft Launcher APK 2.1.29 (10443). I also find it easy to navigate since you can access most features at the menu section, including the mods.
Final Opinion
The Master for Minecraft Launcher is the ideal solution if you're bored with playing the computer version of the game. Despite having fewer features than the PC version, you will enjoy a lot of conveniences if you download the free launcher along with the game on your smartphone. With a total number of nearly 2 million five star reviews, this app is a must-have for any Android device. I would recommend the launcher for any game enthusiast who needs the convenience of gaming on their phones. By taking advantage of it, you can get a complete set of features that are similar to the computer version.
If you're tired of playing Minecraft on your PC, you may as well try it out on your Android smartphone.

When :from Wednesday 14 November, 2012 17:30 to Thursday 15 November, 2012 18:00
Type of event :Специальное мероприятие
Where :UNESCO Headquarters/Siège, Room XI, 7, place de Fontenoy, 75007, Paris,
Contact :firstname.lastname@example.com
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Pan-African Women's Organization (PAWO), UNESCO has organized, together with the Permanent Delegations of South Africa and the United Republic of Tanzania, a major day of debates and round tables to be held on 15 November, preceded by a number of cultural activities on 14 November.
In the words of the Director-General of UNESCO, Ms Irina Bokova, who will deliver the opening address, "this event goes to the heart of UNESCO's two global priorities: Africa and gender equality. It affords us the opportunity to consider the formidable potential of women for the sustainable development of Africa".

Ms Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union, is the guest of honour at the event and, on 15 November, she will take part in the official opening ceremony, in the presence of Ms Christine Taubira, Minister of Justice of France, Ms Assetou Koite, President of PAWO, Her Excellency Ms Dolana Msimang, Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa to France and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO, Her Excellency Ms Begum Taj, Ambassador of the United Republic of Tanzania to France and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO, His Excellency Professor Olabiyi Babalola Joseph Yaï, Ambassador of Benin, and many other eminent persons involved in promoting the role of women in Africa and the world.

The talks and debates will focus on progress achieved and PAWO goals yet to be attained. The main accomplishments of the African Union, in particular the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, and gender equality policies, will be at the centre of the discussions which will enable the Commission of the African Union to draw public attention to activities due to take place in connection with African Women's Decade.

This international event is also an opportunity to confirm UNESCO's position on gender equality, human rights and the specific programmes designed to bring these principles to life on the ground. The celebration is associated with UNESCO's key programme on the General History of Africa, which contributes to education and the promotion of African identity in order to strengthen the continent's integration.

A special tribute to Dulcie September, and to other heroines, will be paid during the celebrations. Dulcie September was a South African anti-apartheid political activist. She fought her whole life for the liberation of South Africa from the apartheid colonial regime and for democracy, rights equality and freedom. She paid the supreme price when she was assassinated in Paris in 1988.

The day will be preceded by two cultural events on 14 November - the opening of an exhibition on women's activism in Africa and a play entitled A Woman in Waiting by yael Farber and Thembi Mtshali.

PAWO was founded in 1962 to bring together African women's organizations in a platform for sharing good practices and for joint action to promote human rights and gender equality. PAWO has enabled substantial progress to be made concerning women's rights and recognition of their role in society, working with other international women's organizations. The celebrations were confirmed by decision of the Member States at the 36th session of UNESCO's General Conference.

Falls are the leading cause of death and disability. A head injury or hip fracture from a fall can change a life in a matter of seconds. Every 18 seconds an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall. Every 35 seconds, one of these adults dies as a result of his or her injuries. Hip fractures cause the greatest number of deaths and the most severe health problems and poorest quality of life. Mortality in the first year after hip fracture is as high as 37%. Of those who survive the first year, 40% will be unable to walk independently, and 60% will require assistance with daily living activities. Children ages newborn to 4 are at the one of the highest risks for traumatic brain injuries. Early brain injuries have been linked to seizures, that may occur immediately or develop years later, as well as alcoholism and Parkinson's.

Quick Note: Though not the most inspiring game in the world, Castle of Illusions is surprisingly fun. A nice blend of 2D platforming and 3D exploring, Castle of Illusions is well balanced, despite being relatively short. For those looking for a quick game to pick up and play or something nostalgic, this is a great game to play.
Gaming is finally now getting old enough to be able to bring back classics. The original Castle of Illusions was a 2D platformer that released on the Sega Genesis, and now it's time to bring it back int he form of a modern day re-imagining. Castle of Illusions sees Mickey off to save Minnie, who has been captured by an evil old witch and locked away inside a giant castle. The only way to save her is to find the seven rainbow gems and get to the top of the watch tower. It's a simple premise that is wholly intended to keep the game moving forward, and it works well for that purpose, but is nothing new or imaginative by a long shot.
Unlike the recent Ducktales reboot, which retained the 2D graphical look and gameplay, Castle of Illusions is a mix between 2D and 3D gameplay and utilizes 3D models on a (mostly) 2D plane. The majority of movement is held on this 2D plane in which Mickey can move forward or backwards, jump, and throw (if he has collected something to throw). These controls are pretty solid, though the jumping is floatier than you would expect, and not in the good LittleBigPlanet kind of way.
However, from time to time, the camera pans out and the control scheme switches to a traditional 3D set up. These transitions are smooth and quite often a breath of fresh air from the traditional platforming, adding a more complex (albeit not too much more complex) feel to these sections that reminded me a bit of Super Mario 64.
Levels are connected by a hub world in the form of a castle (also reminiscent of Mario 64), where Mickey moves between rooms that contain three levels a piece. Each room is themed, such as The Library and Toyland and each theme has a nice variety, ensuring that no set of levels looks the same as the others. Mickey moves through each of the stages collecting gems to unlock more doors and
get to the big, shiny stones at the end. Each stone is protected by a
boss to be defeated, which are surprisingly varied for such a small
game, with each boss having it's own pattern and gameplay to correspond with it. The final boss in particular is challenging, and felt rewarding to take on considering how easy the other bosses in the game are.
The real detractor to the game are the performance issues and pacing. Though smooth early on, the environments get more and more complicated, triggering frame rate drops and chugging while moving along. These small instances do not make the game unplayable, but they do tend to happen at the wrong time and can easily throw off your timing while platforming. And though the game establishes a level system early on, where Mickey battle through to the boss of each room, defeats the boss and then earns a gem, it seems to throw this out the window once Mickey gets to the fourth stage and earns 2 Rainbow gems per room. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it made the game feel rushed out the door, with the gems being thrown in just have them somewhere.
Though there are a few performance issues and the game is fair short, Castle of Illusions is a lot of fun. The game feels like an odd brainchild of 2D Mario and 3D Mario, but without all the bells and whistles of Mario. Personally, this feels like a perfect game for PS Vita because it has some great production quality, but simple game play that's easy for pick up and play, but it's still fun on PS3. For anyone looking for a quick game to play, or a game to teach younger players about platforming, this is a great pick. Short, sweet and to the point, you can't go wrong with Castle of Illusions.

BIO Blitzes BioBlitzes
Hi everyone,
I recently got back from another fun weekend of BioBlitzing – this time in the Ojibway Prairie Complex (OPC). The OPC is the equivalent of a gold mine for discovering species that are new to science or Canada. At last year's BioBlitz, BIO's team of arachnologists found an astounding total of seven new species to Canada. This comes as even more of a surprise when considering that the OPC, comprised of five separate areas, totals only a meagre 834 acres. As the name implies, the OPC is predominated by a prairie biome. This is pretty unusual considering that most of the land mass in southern Ontario is forest. Most of the area has poorly drained, yellowish sandy soil over a significantly sized slice of clay. This allows the soil to be very saturated with water in spring but much drier in middle of the summer. This annual flux tends to favor grasses and wildflowers over trees which need a relatively stable environment to prosper. Due to this, the OPC is effectively maintained as a prairie and continues to provide great habitat for a variety of animals such as insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Before this summer, I had never even heard of a BioBlitz let alone volunteer in one. If you are in the same boat as I was, let me give you a quick overview. A BioBlitz is an event that involves taxonomic experts and the general public in a number of ways. Volunteers from both the professional and unprofessional domains can volunteer as public programmers, guided BioBlitz leaders, or intensive surveyors. Most of BIO's employees volunteer as intensive surveyors. Their main goal is to identify, and if necessary collect, as many different species as possible within a certain time period. When I volunteer in BioBlitzes, I focus solely on spiders. But the public can volunteer in any taxon that interests them. One of the best things about volunteering in a BioBlitz is you get to rub shoulders with some incredibly knowledgeable biologists. I've already learned so much about spiders and other taxa from BioBlitzes alone. Depending on what taxon interests you, the identification methods used can be quite different.
For example, experienced birders can usually identify species based on appearance and call, meaning that no birds actually need to be captured. Unfortunately, identifying spiders isn't so easy and usually hundreds and hundreds of spiders must be collected for later identification under a microscope. So while other groups get to finish early, the spider team has to keep working until the early morning. At the BioBlitz in the OPC, the spider team was sorting and identifying until 4:00am! The identification period may take up to several months but once all the data has come in, every recorded species is put into a master list for the entire area; essentially giving us an inventory of what lives in that ecosystem!
To finish off, let me give you a case of the heebie-jeebies with one mean looking spider. I present to you, the Black purse-web Spider (Sphodros niger). This rare spider is about the size of a toonie and has very interesting chelicerae (i.e. fangs). The chelicerae of most spiders open and close like the pincers of ants. But the chelicerae of primitive purse-web spiders fall directly down on their prey. Think of a hammer coming down on a nail and that's a pretty good metaphor for purse-web spiders biting their prey. If you're an arachnophobe, you need not fear. These spiders prefer to hang out in cozy retreats near the bases of trees. The males only wander out into the forest when it's time to mate and they need to find a female.
Before I sign off, here's a quick joke. How do spiders communicate? Through the World Wide Web.
Thanks for reading,

Risk asset rally and mixed news out of the US drag Euro higher
15/Απρ/2013 • Currency Updates•
Risk assets generally rallied last week, and a select group of those deemed more likely to benefit from ongoing QE efforts (US and Japanese equities, primarily) did so to new cycle highs. The dismal macroeconomic background and relative lack of central bank action weighed on European assets and credit. In FX markets, the absence of market moving news either on the policy or the macroeconomic front, together with weaker than expected retail sales in the US, left the euro to weakly track the asset rally upwards, and the common currency rose about 1% against both sterling and the US dollar. The most volatile of the major currencies lately, the Japanese yen, flirted with the floor of 100 to the US dollar, but rebounded later in the week to close above 98.50. However, the relentless rise in the EUR/JPY cross rate continued last week. We expect some political noise regarding this from European politicians very soon, which should provide a temporary lid on euro appreciation.
Data out last week from the UK were fully consistent with our expectation of zero growth in the economy in the first quarter, and in fact the risk of a negative print has increased. Construction output rose just 5.5% m/m from January to February, which amounts to a serious drop in seasonally adjusted terms. This sector in all likelihood will have a significant negative contribution to the overall GDP number. More bad news came from the external sector, with a further 2.8% drop in exports from January to February. Trade will also be a drag on the GDP number, driven down by the dismal economic situation across the channel. Given the slightly better news that we are seeing in retail sales, we maintain our call for 0% growth, though the downside risks increased this week. In this gloomy backdrop, we are now firmly convinced that the majority of MPC members will swing to another increase in the Gilt purchase target at the May meeting. We expect that to have a negative effect on the pound, temporarily against the euro, and more durable against non-European currencies.
It was a very slow week in terms of macroeconomic data or policy news, and the euro rose moderately, as it usually does in such weeks. On the policy front, the Eurogroup agreed to a longer-than-expected seven-year extension of the maturity in the official loans to Portugal and Ireland. This is positive at the margin, but we point out that the problem is not the timing of the repayment, but the unsustainability of public debt loads in the context of Europe's perma-cession. More negative news came out the banking union process, were Germany signalled that it is not ready to make significant progress any time soon. This will not dispel worries about the status of peripheral bank depositors spooked by the Cyprus haircuts.
Macroeconomic news were gloomy, as usual. Though February industrial production rose slightly from January's dismal levels, this was entirely the result of a weather-related surge in energy production. It is clear that the goods sector contribution to first quarter growth will be negative. As inflation in Europe continues its downward march (to 1.7% in March), we remain thoroughly puzzled by the ECB's refusal to make use of any of the monetary levels at its disposal, and expect that, at the very least, dissent within its ranks will become more obvious over the next few weeks.
Macroeconomic news out of the US have turned weaker with the Spring, as they have for the past couple of years. March retail sales were down 0.4%, and the previous two months saw significant downward revisions. This report calls into question our view that the 2013 tax hikes had had little effect in consumer spending, and introduces some downside risk to our forecast of 3% growth for this quarter, and 2-3% for the full 2013 year. We are sticking with our forecast for now, as stronger-than-expected contributions from housing and business investment are likely to keep growth on track, but are paying very close attention to the recent weakening in labour market and consumer spending news. USD did in fact react quite negatively to the retail sales news, and most of its weekly loss against the euro occurred late Friday after the report's release.

Fischer Watea 106 (2014)
Rating: / 5
Price: $795.00
Year: 2014
Level: 3
Gender: Male
Waist Width: 124
Tip/Tail/Waist: 138-106-124
Lengths: 174, 182, 190
With its 106-mm waist width, the 106 is the widest of the Wateas and thus the most suitable to soft-snow and powder applications for expert skiers. Its Air Carbon construction features fiberglass/carbon laminates reinforcing its wood core for lightweight power and responsiveness. Fischer's Freeski collection splits into two groups: the surfy, twin-tipped powder specialists of the Big Stix collection (waist widths: 100, 110 and 122 mm) and the flat-tailed "sidecountry"/all-mountain generalists of the Watea collection (84 to 106 mm). The Wateas are built for edgy, directional performance and hard-snow versatility, with moderate tip rocker (2 to 5 mm, more in the wider models, less in the narrower ones) for soft-snow flotation and terrain-smoothing shock absorption. Narrower models (84 and 88) have full camber underfoot for maximum rebound energy; wider models have low camber height underfoot for a looser feel. The 96 and 106 are also built with greater torsional rigidity (ie, they're less prone to twisting when loaded and arcing). The tails of all Wateas (the name means "free" in the Maori language) are notched for secure attachment of climbing skins. All Wateas are wood-core laminate constructions with full-length/height sidewalls. Wood is used for durability and responsiveness; full sidewalls for optimized edge grip and solidity underfoot. (The sidewalls are angled - less edgy than vertical sidewalls and more resistant to damage caused by the opposite ski's edge.) All models are metal free, for light weight and lively performance, and all are sold flat (no binding). Fischer now offers two AT binding options appropriate for use with the Wateas - the sturdy Adrenaline (16 or 13 DIN), and the lightweight Ambition (12 DIN), both developed by Tyrolia and licensed to Fischer. Climbing skins are also offered. Family-owned Fischer Skis is based in Reid, Austria, where all its skis (and many of those of other brands) are built. Fischer says its factory in Reid is the second largest manufacturer of skis in the world.

Yep it's me again!
We've been having some wonderful winter weather out here in the Pacific Northwest, and the news keeps talking about how it's cold everywhere except Florida, so this letter is for all of you, but particularly for any of you who aren't living it up in Florida!
I want to talk to you about winter drivers. Some are smart, seasoned, and well equipped for whatever the mountains, plains, or weather systems should throw their way. Some are NOT. Here is a heads up about whom to AVOID this winter season, or any other for that matter.
First things first, if you see a van, with one of these in the back window use precaution:
Secondly, there are always those trucks on the road, you know the ones that have six inches of lift and 35 mudders under them for no obvious reason (except perhaps compensation).
Another fair weather driver that will brave the winter iced roads is Grandma.
Last but not least I will warn you about the most feared driver there is (at least in my understanding of the world), the Teenage Girl.
Hoping for your safety and enjoyment this holiday season Car Guy, until next time!

Reduces time to shipment with lean inventory
Just in time manufacturing uses item-based lead time and supply pipeline settings to generate jobs and purchase orders in response to current demand. Just in time principles are widely accepted as the most effective way to reduce time to shipment while keeping inventory lean and efficient.
Just in time replaces traditional planning methods
Just in time planning replaces the traditional planning methods used by most small businesses in the following ways.
Replaces forecast planning with supply pipeline planning
Many small businesses use forecast planning methods such as future job explosions and blanket purchase orders to align future supply with projected demand. Forecast planning is prone to shortages and propagates over-stocking because supply can never be perfectly synchronized with actual demand and inventory easily gets out of control.
By contrast, just in time manufacturing uses supply pipeline planning based on reorder points and minimum order quantities to generate demand-driven jobs and purchase orders at self-adjusting intervals, which minimizes shortages and prevents over-stocking.
Replaces hard linking with natural linking
Many small businesses make products to order by hard linking multi-level jobs and purchase orders to each sales order. When an entire product structure is forcibly made to order, each component in the structure gets its own job or purchase order, even when quantities are inefficient and other jobs require the same item. Hard linking propagates excessive numbers of inefficient jobs and purchase orders and prevents commonly used items from being planned for stocking to reduce lead times.
By contrast, just in time planning generates demand-driven jobs that link naturally level by level when items are made to order, but replenish stock independently for items planned for stocking. This streamlines the job schedule with fewer and more consistent jobs and enables strategic stocking of key subassemblies to reduce lead times and times to shipment.
Replaces manual planning with demand-driven jobs and POs
Many small businesses create jobs and purchase orders manually from static shortage reports and BOM explosions. Static shortage reports lack time-phasing, which means items are often ordered far earlier than needed, and manual planning is highly vulnerable to human error. BOM explosions artificially isolate demand into product structures and fail to account for interdependent demand among products.
By contrast, just in time planning generates demand-driven jobs and purchase orders only when needed and in response to interdependent demand. Demand-driven jobs and purchase orders are foolproof because it is impossible for any demand to fall through the cracks and not be actioned upon.
Time to Shipment MRP takes just in time to a new level
Time to Shipment MRP is a unique version of just in time manufacturing that combines the basic principles of just in time outlined above with the following innovations for small business.
Time to Shipment Planning
Most small businesses establish sales order ship dates by guesswork and pad those dates to provide safety buffer. Guesswork and padded dates are not competitive in the Amazon age. DBA enables guesswork to be replaced with a time to shipment strategy that provides customers with reliable and consistent ship dates.
Time to Shipment targets establish sales order required dates and are calculated from lead time allocations and order policies of top level items and lower-level components.
All purchased items are given a Lead Days allocation for planned procurement time and all manufactured items are given a Job Days allocation for planned production time. When an item is given a To Order policy, its lead time contributes to the lea times of higher-level items. When an item is given a Stocking order policy, its lead time does not contribute to higher-level lead times.
Time to Shipment targets are reduced by assigning a Stocking order policy to key materials, subassemblies, and sell items to remove lead time contributions.
Supply Pipeline Planning
For Stocking order policy items, inventory is kept lean and efficient with supply pipeline planning. Replenishment is triggered by actual demand at regular intervals using a dynamic Reorder Point and Min Order quantity. A monthly Sales or Usage rate and Safety Factor buffer are incorporated into the Reorder Point and a Supply Days interval is incorporated into the Min Order quantity.
Unlike future jobs and blanket purchase orders, stock replenishment is self-adjusting in response to actual demand. When actual demand for an item is greater than the monthly demand rate and safety buffer, replenishment is triggered earlier than the supply days interval, which minimizes the duration of any shortage that may occur. When demand is less than the monthly demand rate and safety buffer, replenishment is delayed until it is needed, which automatically caps stock on hand and prevents over-stocking.
Demand-Driven Jobs and Purchase Orders
On a daily basis, jobs and purchase orders are generated by MRP in a time-phased, multi-level progression in response to current demand. A job or PO for an amount equal or greater than the item's minimum order quantity is triggered whenever net demand (total supply pipeline less current demand) falls below the item's reorder point. Purchase order due dates and job finish dates are aligned with required dates for higher-level jobs and sales orders.
Material-Based Job Release
A big problem in most shops is knowing what jobs can be started next based on availability of materials and the order of assembly. To defend against "robbing Peter to pay Paul" syndrome, materials are often hoarded to protect favored jobs. In multi-level environments, inefficient hard linking on travelers is required to coordinate the order of assembly. These methods are counter-productive and impede the ability to ship orders on time.
DBA solves these problems with a unique job release process. MRP schedules new status jobs in the correct order of multi-level assembly. Whenever the Release Jobs screen is launched, materials and subassemblies on hand are allocated to new status jobs in planned start date order. Jobs with fully allocated materials can safely be released to production in the correct order of assembly without any need for material hoarding.
Another benefit of the job release process is that each job is given a new finish date relative to its actual release date, which makes job scheduling self-adjusting. The job schedule screen enables you to assess the impact of late released jobs on dependent jobs and sales orders.
Prioritized Production
Most small businesses rely heavily on job expediting to get orders shipped on time. Expediting one job at a time benefits that one job, but at the expense of all other jobs because production flow in work centers gets interrupted when all jobs are stopped to make way for the expedited job.
The key to shop productivity is maintaining a balanced production flow across all work centers so that all jobs meet their required dates. DBA enables this by assigning a priority to each job based on remaining production time relative to the job's required date. Within work center queues, job sequences are listed in job priority order so that jobs trending late get priority over jobs trending early. When all work centers are run by job priority, the production flow is balanced throughout the shop. Prioritized production enables all jobs to meet their required dates so that orders get shipped on time.
Real-Time Updating
DBA is designed for real time updating so that the software actively guides your production priorities. Directly within the Work Center Schedule screen, materials are issued to work centers on a just in time basis, often with a single-click using the pre-fill feature, and job labor is updated when sequences are closed, either at standard or actual hours.
Real time updating provides the feedback that makes prioritized production possible. The productivity benefits are enormous because you always know what's on hand, what to run next in each work center, and where each job stands at any given time.
Can be applied to any type of manufacturing business
Time to Shipment MRP can be applied to any type of manufacturing business, regardless whether products are made to order, to stock, in mixed mode, engineered or customized to order, or are proprietary or made on behalf of other companies.

5 Most Beneficial Search Engines For Performing Essay Research
Google, Ask, and Digg is wonderful. They tend to be very good search engines when you wish to complete selected things. If you would like to find out just where to find great Japanese foodstuff near you, to find out the money necessary for airline tickets to Panama or Nicaragua, or even to read through the news post about many buzz-worthy issues, go with any one of the 3. You will discover precisely what you would like.
However, if you are using any of these for educational research, it's very quiet easy to turn out to be taken down the drastically wrong route. The issue is this search engines such as these provide the same weight to the viewpoint as they definitely do fact. In order to try to make things even far more difficult, lots of internet sites which consist of almost nothing more than unsubstantiated ideas are designed with techniques in order to make all of them appear scholarly.
It can be totally crucial to stick with school sources any time conducting a study for essays and other papers. The ultimate way to achieve that is to try using these five search engines which tend to be created specifically with regard to school research.
Microsoft Academic
Microsoft Research developed that search engine, and next refurbished and launched it in 2016. It has countless both educational and literary journals and other resources. Pupils can carry out key phrase searches. They can additionally choose a subject of research and after that drill down through a list of subtopics.
Google Scholar
That is probably one of the most well-known academic search engines. Many take pleasure in working with it because the interface functions nearly in the same way for the standard Google search engine. Students might sort through the two scholarly articles or blog posts as well as case law. A just recently added in function extracts a hyperlink to the authentic resource material so you can go immediately to the papers you might be right after.
iSeek is a simple to utilize, organic terminology search engine. College students can question or perhaps enter search keywords. Most results returned come from respected sources. You'll discover federal government study, outcomes out of schools, along with other research-acceptable resources. This is just what you require for your university paperwork.
WorldWide Science
Composing university papers for the research course can be extremely difficult. The following is especially real at advanced academic levels. Worldwide Science can be a search engine that connects together with scholarly, technological listings from around the world. You can conduct searches using almost all available sources or even choose advanced research and find your personal.
Virtual Learning Resources Center
If you would like research to be accepted by your instructors, you should almost certainly follow databases that they agree. This is when this VLRC helpful. Services which might be highlighted in the search results on the VLRC have been picked out and approved by simply the two educators and also librarians.https://newswebsite.in/beneficial-search-engines/https://newswebsite.in/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Google-Scholar-Search.jpghttps://newswebsite.in/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Google-Scholar-Search-150x150.jpgDigital MarketingGoogle, Ask, and Digg is wonderful.

It is important to take a good care of your laptop. The prevention of problems are easier and better than fixing them after they happen. You may safeguard your notebook and its screen by using with care.
1Keep your notebook in an open area that has a good air circulation during the power on. Store it in a well circulated area too.
2Keep drinks and any liquids away from your notebook because short circuits by liquid destroy notebooks often. Also keep any food away from your notebook. Do not eat over because the crumbs go in the keyboard that cause the keys fail eventually. Wash your hands before using your notebook. Avoid leaving dirt and stains on the touchpad and keys.
3Be careful with the LCD screen. It is especially vulnerable. Close the lid gently holding two sides. Make sure there is nothing left on the keyboard. Hold and lift your notebook by its base, not by its LCD screen. Avoid scratching and putting pressure on the LCD screen. If LCD screen is broken, you can easily replace the screen for about $50-100 from laptop screen company.
4When bringing your notebook from colder place to warmer, do not turn it on immediately. Let it warm a few hours first. Do not leave your notebook unattended in a car.
5Do not disconnect the plug from the power socket by pulling on the power cord. Plug in external connectors and devices into their proper slots. Insert drives into their slots carefully, in right position, and at the correct angle. Try to keep the cord and all wires away from the floor and your legs.
6Use a special case when you carry the notebook. Do not drop the notebook. Its internal parts are very fragile.
7Clean your notebook regularly. Shut it down before cleaning. You may use an old toothbrush to rid of the dust in the area around the fan.Advertisement

I thought alongside my post about my AS exams summary (which you can read here) I would do a picture summary of my thoughts and feelings of my first year of A-Levels.
My A-Level Experience - Year One
As many of you know after I finished my GCSEs last year I decided to carry on to do my A-Levels at Sixth Form. Well, I have now finished all my first a-level exams (which if didn't know the first year is called AS and the second year A2) and thought I'd share my experience so far with all of you (well, those of you who care).
After getting my GCSE results I decided I wanted to do 4 AS levels: history, spanish, english literature and sociology, which I then started in September. I thought I'd structure this post based on each subject I chose and my individual experience with each subject (as they were all different). So if I was you I'd get a cup of coffee or tea and get ready to sit down to read a rather long and wordy post.
June's Beauty Tip

monthly beauty favourites: may
If you've read my recent update post (which you can read here) I was planning on doing an April monthly favourites but due to exams and life getting in the way I struggled to be able to sit down take pictures, edit photos and write a post (sorry about that!). But I'm back better then ever and have got a lot of post ideas for the near future and I'm starting that off today with my May Monthly Beauty Favourites.

When Outdoor Audio Inc. wanted to create an outdoor audio system that could remain outside permanently they needed to ensure that the housing would protect their equipment from all environmental factors. Find out how Stahlin helped provide them with a solution in the Stahlin Non-Metallic Enclosure Outdoor Audio Case Study.
Although there are hundreds of outdoor rated speakers on the market, they typically rely on an audio source that's located indoors. This requires complicated installation procedures such as drilling holes in buildings, running wires from speakers through exterior insulation filled walls, and struggling to get wiring through multiple walls to finally reach the audio source. In most cases, even once this daunting task is complete, the user will still have no control over the source unit while physically in the outdoor location.
After hearing numerous complaints from frustrated music lovers, Outdoor Audio, Inc. set out to develop a solution. In 2006, they were determined to build a complete outdoor audio system that could be easily installed without relying on any inside audio systems and could be left outdoors whatever the weather. Eight months later, The DeckTunes system was developed. The DeckTunes system features a high powered 4 channel head unit; internal UL listed watertight power supply; AM/FM stereo receiver; iPod, iPhone, USB and MP3 player connectivity; 1GB of on-board flash memory for digital media storage & playback; optional Sirius satellite radio receiver; waterproof media player storage drawer; internal power amplified antennal; standard 12 volt receptacle for charging portable media devices; is fan cooled and includes a remote control that operates via radio frequency, is also waterproof and…Read More

I've stolen my title from Alfred Kazin's memoir of his first experiences in Manhattan as a Jewish kid exploring the city from home base in Brooklyn.
My home base is Santa Fe and my experience is entirely different, my view the slightly jaundiced one of a writer never really at home here; Manhattan reminds me, once again, that I am another of the group of great, unknown authors.
Never mind that. The city repels and fascinates me about equally, and is most nearly available to me, visually, although I never bring my ubiquitous camera here. I don't want to compete with the iconic photos—by Stieglitz among may others—and I don't feel I have to.
So my visual recordings are written in words, not images, as part of my new venture which is called, "You Travel, You Write," the workshop I'm designing to encourage women to take their travel writing seriously. We are the great travelers now, after all, and we have many things to write about our experiences—if we take them seriously—with the essential grain of humor, or at least irony.
Actually, it is our point of view, as travelers, we need to take seriously. We don't need to be bound by guidebooks or travel sites; we can write with new eyes as new travelers in an old world.
I began my visual recording of Manhattan today, in bright, warm sunshine, looking up at the second floor windows of neoclassical limestone townhouses on side streets in the East Eighties.
Often the second floor windows in these houses are French windows, gracefully curved at the tops, that open onto narrow wrought-iron balconies giving into the relatively quiet side streets of this quintessential white upper-class neighborhood. It's not a coincidence that two well-known private girls' schools are rooted on these blocks.
These French windows remind me of the windows in a Right Bank hotel in Paris and in a townhouse near the Bois de Boulogne, where for the first time living in a city I experienced the combination of freedom and containment those windows gave me: freedom to open them, step onto the narrow balcony, and feel the breath of the city—yet containment because there is no exit from these balconies to the challenging streets below.
I call this combination law and order, and find it reassuring.
But the only way I survive six days of this relentless noise and hurry is to walk every day in Central Park, the reseeded meadows green, damp and fresh, and free now of the dog manure that made them off limits when my sons were small.
Sitting on the grass with my shoes off, I connected for a moment with the earth that grounds us all.
I also connected with scenes from decades ago when, desperate for escape into the outdoors, I pushed an overloaded stroller into the park. It had a desolate air, then, before the Central Park Conservancy took over and refurbished everything; the park was grimy, the benches were broken, the water fountains didn't work, and the playgrounds contained dilapidated swing sets and jungle gyms—these last no longer tolerated because of falls. The splintery old sea saws, also no longer tolerated, were a particular hazard; my oldest son broke his arm when he was sitting on the low end and another child jumped on the high end, knocking him off onto the concrete; this was before all those safety mats were installed.
One day when I was pushing the stroller near the 79th Street park exit, I saw one of my earliest friends, sitting on the grass with her three small sons. In the tumult and confusion of early marriages, we had lost track of each other; now here she was, the girl I'd known so well, almost a stranger among the babies and paraphernalia of her new life. I must have seemed a stranger, as well.
We soon found our way back to our friendship and remain devoted friends to this day.
So that image of a young woman sitting on the grass with her sons is one of my visual reminders of the city. The homeless sitting on the sidewalks are another; one creative young woman moves her place every day, and every day writes a new version of her sign: "Hoping for a Miracle" is replaced by "Praying for a Miracle," perhaps due to her increasing desperation.
I always leave money in her cup. We owe it to these travelers, as desperate if less colorful than the gypsies my grandmother, as a girl, saw in Northern Ireland, who gave her her first taste of wildness.
Then there's the saxophone man, who celebrated my donation with a sprightly rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"—a tune that always brings tears to my eyes.
Fall is coming some time soon, and so the sidewalk venders have wheeled out their knit caps and cashmere (maybe) scarfs at prices so low they assure that the items were made in sweat shops. Also, and this is new, some enterprising scissor-wielding artists have created elaborate pop-up cards of city landmarks; I may buy one for my grandson tomorrow.
All this color doesn't distract from the hideous amount of noise and the crowds so thick on the midtown sidewalks we are all constantly weaving and maneuvering to avoid collisions. Everyone is absorbed in her iPad and her ears are blocked with buds and yet by some sixth sense she avoids crashing into the oncoming herds.
At the end of the day there is the calamitous loneliness of my hotel room, filled with the subdued roar of air-conditioning somewhere in the building which can't be turned off. My visual record of a mid-town hotel room is a tall window obscured with bars and covered with blood red curtains, our of which it is impossible to see the sky because it opens on an air shaft.
I long for the blue skies and the fresh air of my home in New Mexico, yet I will continue to walk and record in this city whenever I have the chance.
You do the same. Adopt as your motto, "I travel, I write."

Florida led the nation in home-price gains in the year ending Sept. 30, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Florida properties posted a 10.7 percent gain over the past year, topping Oregon's 10.5 percent and Washington's 10.4 percent. The District of Columbia finished last, with a 2.7 percent decline.
Over the past five years, Florida ranks fourth in price appreciation. Explore the state-by-state map here:
By another measure, the median price of a house sold by Realtors in Palm Beach County last month was $310,000. That's up 9 percent from a year ago but down from recent months — and still well below the November 2005 peak of $421,500.
Palm Beach County's median condo price was $152,750, up 8 percent from a year ago but also down compared to recent months.
Statewide, median sales prices for both single-family homes and townhouse-condo properties rose year-over-year for the 59th month in a row in October, according to Florida Realtors, the Orlando-based trade group.
Prices have risen in part because foreclosures and short sales have all but disappeared from the market. What's more, the statewide inventory of houses for sale dipped to just a 4.2-month supply in October.

Dear 4-Wheel & Off-Road,My buddy and I were out hunting when we saw a grouse. We jumped out of the rig, ran down the road, and then turned around to see that the truck had popped out of gear and was starting to roll down into the bushes. It ended up high-centering itself on a log 30 yards off the road.Dan Fergason Jr.Cottage Grove, OR
Dear 4-Wheel & Off-Road,I was about three quarters of the way up Greenie Peak when I came across this fellow in his Mattracks truck who was stuck in the snow. I hooked up my towrope and the little Sami pulled the truck right out of the snow. At least that's the way I think it happenedKyle HughesGroesbeck, TX

A bevy of beauties commute about on their scooters looking ever-so-stylish and immaculately donning the most uniquely coloured and intricately-printed material. How can one not appreciate the charm and exuberance of West African couture? Over the course of a year, I have had the great fortune of traveling to several West African countries and experience first-hand, beauty in its rawest form. From Cote d'Ivoire to Burkina Faso; Benin to Togo; the female populace have a passion for fashion and all things delightfully tasteful.
The local women look chic and sophisticated in their brightly coloured 'pagnes' or pieces of fabric that are tailored into traditional garments or western-style dresses. These garments are designed to complement every shape and size and bring out the luminescent femininity in women. The best quality pagnes out there are definitely those produced under the Vlisco brand. You will pay and arm and a leg for just four yards of this high-end brand. Also of good quality are Uniwax and Woodin; you'll find these pieces in almost all the boutiques as well as in the local markets. I am currently sitting with 12 pagnes. Thankfully, I have a trusted dressmaker in Burkina Faso who creates one-of-a-kind dresses for me. The major pro of this is that no one else in South Africa will be wearing the same dresses or the same prints. Thus, I will save myself the agony of having a 'Who wore it better?' moment.
My travels also gave me the opportunity to learn more about some powerhouses in the fashion circles. In Benin, there's Lolo Andoche, who designs the best tunic-type dresses. And, did I mention that all his dresses have pockets (which I love). Then there is Grace Wallace's creations that can be found in Togo. Ms. Wallace was featured at the Mercedes Benz Africa Fashion week and her blingy ballgowns will make any plain jane feel like Cinderella. Perhaps the most renowned out of all the designers is Pathe'O, yes, the Burkinabese maverick, who was the designer of Nelson Mandela's iconic shirts. Pathe'O has a high-end boutique in Abidjan where you too can delight yourself in his love for elegant pastel colors.
African couture sure does have a unique sense on ingenuity and will delight travelers from all walks of life. The highlight of my trips to these countries is being able to shop in the local markets where I can over-indulge. I can't wait to visit more countries and share more about my experiences with you.

Legislation pending in the French Parliament would require that music purchased online for use on digital music players be compatible across all players. It has become popularly known in France as the "iPod bill," after the popular music player made by Apple Computer, and could pit France against Apple and other distributors of online music.
The National Assembly (lower house) and Senate (upper house) have passed two separate versions of the legislation. Both would reduce the penalties for piracy, require software companies to provide details on how their programs work, and create an agency that would have jurisdiction over digital copyright issues, including how often music can be legally copied by a customer for personal use and ensuring compatibility across devices.
Unlike the Assembly version, the Senate version does not contain provisions that would require manufacturers such as Apple and Sony to open all music sold on their platforms to work on players other than their own. Currently, the stores for Apple and Sony sell music only for use on their own players. Critics of the changes say that the Senate's changes would defeat the purpose of the bill.
The two versions must now be reconciled in conference committee, a process that could take months.
Speaking in support of the bill, Assembly member Christian Paul said, "We oppose the idea that the seller of a song or any kind of work can impose on the consumer the way to read it, forever, and especially in the consumer's home. Can we allow a couple of vendors to establish monopolies tightly controlling their clients and excluding competition?"
Christian Vanneste, the National Assembly sponsor of the iPod bill, said, "In France, there are two distinct mentalities. On one side is the backwards left, which is anti-American, and on the other is the right, which thinks that the U.S.A. shouldn't be the only one with good ideas, and who want to compete with them."
After the National Assembly's vote in March, Apple denounced the measure as "state-sponsored piracy." They refused to comment on the legislation after the Senate's vote on May 10.
Francisco Mingorance, European policy director for the Business Software Alliance, said that the Assembly's proposal is "about ripping off technology from those who developed it and putting it in the public domain." The Business Software Alliance represents Apple, Dell, Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and other major computer hardware and software companies.

Paralympics superstar David Weir received a CBE at Buckingham Palace today, after collecting a haul of gold medals at London 2012.
The wheelchair racer from Sutton was unbeaten during last year's Games, winning gold in the 800m, 1500m, 5000m and the T54 Marathon.
After the ceremony, the sportsman recalled his memories of last summer: "It was just a special time for any Paralympian - we knew it was going to be big because it was going to be in our home city, but just to go out and hear that crowd every day was just an amazing feeling."
He added: "It was the first time we didn't feel disabled, we felt like athletes, we felt like Olympians - we felt like we should have been there.
"Seeing that stadium full for morning sessions was just unbelievable, it was just a dream come true. I felt like I was dreaming all the time, I just felt 'This is not real'. I thought someone was going to wake me up and I was going to race into an empty stadium.
"I felt so proud to be British and we pulled that off. You've got to thank Seb Coe and Locog and everyone else for telling us it would be the best Paralympics ever."
