Dear 'Defending Science' Editors,
Truly, the "hegelian mind fck" is endless!
Witness the headline on your website of December 04, 2009 (cached): Senate Confirms David Michaels, author of "Doubt is Their Product: How Industry's Assault on Science Threatens Your Health", to Head OSHA.
What is the new dialectical rabbit hole? It is the book, the appointment of its author, the book review article by Jeff Masters, and the amazing composition based on specious connections to demonstrate by an establishment author that the only enemy of science is that other fella from whom science must be defended. There is no Assault on Science from the establishment itself.
In the list of references provided for each chapter in David Michaels' book comprising a voluminous 1182 total citations (cached), there are some egregious omissions. The name "Edward Bernays" does not appear even once! Hmmm.
The fact that the art of Public Relations was originated by Edward Bernays based on the science of behavior modification discovered by Sigmund Freud, and was dutifully employed by President Woodrow Wilson's handlers before, during, and after the culmination of World War I to manufacture the messianic image of Wilson as the Savior of Europe in justification for an agendists' war that saw countless millions barbarously butchered but for which, even today, no one in the establishment can coherently argue the raison d'être that can withstands any forensic scrutiny, appears to be missing. The case study of one of the most egregious health-impacting events of the twentieth century as a direct consequence of the manufactured product of social engineering and establishment's own psy-ops upon the world's peoples, is omitted in favor of highlighting the abuse of too much Laissez-faire in the industry. Need more governmental regulations! Americans need more protection!
First there was the infernal terrorist. Then the greedy banking shysters. Then the filthy swines. Then too much CO2 emissions in cow farts! Now it's the damn capitalism itself. We need universal central control under the ubermensch's enlightened planning in order to protect mankind from itself! Damn it, we need Big Brother to manage humanity! A rather transparent use of Hegelian Dialectics to justify the solutions proposed for establishment's own manufactured/fabricated problems to service the globalist's long term agenda of centralizing more and more powers into bigger and bigger government, to eventually become the world government! And not the least of which is establishment's own Assault on Science of climate-change to diabolically usher in the architecture of 'carbon credits' as its solution.
So, Edward Bernays other client's abuse, the Tobacco industry for whom he very cleverly got American women to smoke, is highlighted but only with reference to a much later PR agency without mentioning the pioneering work of Bernays himself which the late inventor of the very field of Public Relations wrote about in his famous 1921 autobiographical classic "Propaganda". Thus, of course Edward Bernays' ominous opening passage from his own book would characteristically be omitted too: "THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country." And surely too any reference to the more ubiquitous doubt, consent, and dissent manufacturing machinery of the "Mighty Wurlitzer" which has at least since World War II, entirely impacted the health of the entire world's peoples. Its own egregious open Assault on Science to absurdly fabricate how the WTC towers collapsed on 911 cannot obviously make it into any establishment author's narrative either when it is conveniently being "utilized to goosestep the Herrenvolk across international frontiers." No, that's not establishment's "junk science", but its fabled Global War on Terror. The art and science of the "Mighty Wurlitzer" can be appreciated here: http://print-humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2009/05/note-on-mighty-wurlitzer.html.
The very notion, that Science is always, first and foremost, in the Service of Empire is absent from the problem formulation. This is the classic example of what is illustrated in http://print-humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2008/12/nb-on-global-warming.html
'It is also very convenient for the learned to mix up the 'highest order bit' with 'lower order bits' of a complex matter – irrespective of deliberately or inadvertently – for the plebes can hardly tell the difference. And that's just wonderful for creating clever red herrings when the latter are emphasized, and the former is ignored! Surely whatever one comes up with is always a solution to something, and that's just as undeniable as any pathetic tautology. But is it a solution to the 'most significant bit'? Has the problem itself been accurately diagnosed, and the systemic multi-lateral illness accurately mapped out to its very DNA? Not when the sacred-cow axioms remain untouchable! And this is indeed how one wins a Nobel Prize and lucrative appointments. [a30] In some cases, even stays alive.
To explain the commonsense concept of 'bit' drawn from electrical engineering, it's like having a "one" in the 7th decimal place, and also in the 2nd decimal place, to create the total amount One million and Ten dollars, $1,000,010, and while auditing the books, focussing on the digit position which identifies the Ten dollars and not the one which identifies the Million! The significance of this is not lost to the banksters!'
If one reads the article by Jeff Masters which reviews David Michaels' book, one sees that it is partly playing WWF wrestling in the "hegelian mind fck", and masking out the highest order bit to falsely project that it is the "Ten dollars" that's the problem and not the "One million" that has been craftily omitted from the book-keeping.
And so too in the following review description by 'Defending Science'. It outright omits the reality of the facts of the matter of how control is interlockingly administered. It ignores the fact that the military-industrial-academe complex, and the political as well as the bureaucratic establishment (whether elected, selected, or appointed as the Board of Governors and Chairman of the Federal Reserve System), are all rooted in serving the same nexus of financial elite's interests. It pretends that there is no revolving door among governmental-industry-financial-military-lobby-regulatory positions, and that there is no complicated and often opaque interlocking of board memberships and ownership across industries and corporations:
"The Orwellian strategy of dismissing research conducted by the scientific community as "junk science" and elevating science conducted by product defense specialists to "sound science" status also creates confusion about the very nature of scientific inquiry and undermines the public's confidence in science's ability to address public health and environmental concerns Such reckless practices have long existed, but Michaels argues that the Bush administration deepened the dysfunction by virtually handing over regulatory agencies to the very corporate powers whose products and behavior they are charged with overseeing."
So, according to that quoted passage, there is no "junk science" research conducted by the scientific community! And the fault is in the watchdog being asked to watch its owners. The choice of phraseology "Orwellian strategy" is almost Kafkaesque were it also not so transparently pathetic. Half-truths are terrific for any full blown "hegelian mind fck"! It isn't me saying it, but the name who might know more about George Orwell than anyone else in the world observing it, Aldous Huxley:
"Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations." -- Aldous Huxley http://www.huxley.net/ah/ahquote.html
I hope you can reference the following pertinent works of Project Humanbeingsfirst in your future updates to 'Defending Science' to more accurately, and indeed more perceptively portray the obvious facts of the matter that 1) "politics out of science" is impossible when politics, as well as for-profit research, entirely funds science in the vast interlocking military-industrial-academe complex of not just America but of the entire West; that 2) all hectoring hegemons' Assault on Science Threatens Your Health as an instrument of "full spectrum dominance" and social engineering, and not just the "Industry's Assault on Science" for petty profiteering; and that 3) science is perpetually in the service of empire because "Hegemony is as old as mankind."
Thank you

Hi Alessia,
How are you?
We just got to Seychelles for our honeymoon.
The wedding was fantastic. Everyone loved it. We had a really good time. I liked everything. Everyone was impressed by the cake show. The food was lovely and so were the flowers. I didn't get a chance to see the flowers in the church too much, but I will see the photos. Thank you a thousand times for your help and patience and everything. I couldn't have done it without you.

Every year approximately 250,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer – it's the most common cancer and leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic and Latina women. Allstate has partnered with Hollye Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of "The Silver Lining," to help women diagnosed with breast cancer as well as their friends and families. Empowering women to take control of their health and happiness, Allstate and Jacobs are on a mission to connect women nationwide by providing a free silver lining companion guide to everyone impacted by breast cancer– and launched the Spanish version of the guide last Thursday, May 14.
Hollye was a vegan-eating, marathon-running, 39-year-old mom and registered nurse when she was diagnosed. Today, the cancer survivor wants people to be prepared with early detection and the tools they need to find their silver linings. Hollye has previously shared her silver linings with outlets such as WWD, ToryBurch.com, ABC Good Morning America and Vogue UK.
In conjunction with Hollye's girlfriend's guide to empower women impacted by breast cancer, Allstate and Hollye would love to offer a giveaway for my readers consisting of a copy of the New York Times bestselling book "The Silver Lining: A supportive and Insightful Guide to Breast Cancer" and a copy of the Silver Lining Companion Guide.

The wild and remote Davis Mountains region is one of the most scenic in Texas. Indeed, it is one of the most biologically diverse. Rising above the Chihuahuan desert, the range forms a unique sky island—a cooler, wetter landscape surrounded by arid lowland desert. The Davis Mountains are one of just three sky islands in Texas and support rare plants and species that occur nowhere else in Texas.
To help protect this unique ecosystem, The Nature Conservancy established the 33,075-acre Davis Mountains Preserve. Subsequent land acquisitions combined with conservation easements on adjoining property have allowed the Conservancy to protect 102,675 acres of the Davis Mountains.
The preserve encompasses the heart of a functioning landscape; the conservation techniques employed there are crucial to protecting a hydrological system that originates at Tobe Gap and Bridge Gap on Mount Livermore (the tallest peak in the sky island), then extends through rugged canyon lands and into the desert flats near the town of Balmorhea.
The preserve also supports a unique assemblage of animals and plants. On the wetter, shaded slopes is a montane forest, including some of the last stands of ponderosa pine trees in Texas. There are also small but thick stands of quaking aspens sheltered under a cliff beneath Mount Livermore. Pinyon pine, gray oak, alligator juniper and mountain mahogany dominate south-facing slopes, while madrone trees dot the valleys and deep canyon streambeds. Eleven rare plant species have been documented, including the Livermore sandwort, many-flowered unicorn plant and fringed paintbrush.
An array of wild animals dwell in the mountains, including black bears and mountain lions, while higher elevations support birds more commonly associated with western mountain ranges, such as the common black-hawk, golden eagle, dusky-capped flycatcher and Montezuma quail. Various birds of prey, 10 species of hummingbirds and other seasonal species, like the painted redstart and Grace's warbler, use the preserve as a migration corridor, while two Mexican spotted owls and slate-throated redstarts, two rare birds for Texas have also been documented there.
The Conservancy has understood the importance of preserving this natural area for some time. Three priorities guided us to action: the preservation of West Texas' history and ranching heritage, safeguarding the dark skies surrounding University of Texas McDonald Observatory and protecting the unique and limited ecosystem of a West Texas sky island.
Conservation challenges such as overgrazing, habitat fragmentation and increasing pressure on limited freshwater supplies are of ongoing concern in this desert region.Ponderosa pine trees throughout the upper elevations of the Davis Mountains face additional challenges, including extreme drought, destructive wildfires, extended cold snaps and infestations from the Western pine bark beetle. A 100-year history of fire suppression across the region has also undermined the health of these pine forests; an overabundance of trees and vegetation increases competition for a limited supply of water, which creates drier conditions and weakens the entire forest. A changing climate has also led to less precipitation and more extreme temperatures throughout the region. Taken together, such conditions can lead to catastrophic wildfires.
To improve the health of these critical ponderosa pine forests and help the preserve become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, the Conservancy has collaborated with Texas A&M Forest Service on a forest thinning project. Woodlands spanning 350 acres in and around its mesic canyons—the coolest, wettest part of the Davis Mountains—will be thinned to help reduce drought stress, decrease insect outbreaks and minimize wildfire intensity. The thinning will also enhance the canyons' ability to shelter rare and unique flora and fauna, helping to improve the health and resilience of one of the preserve's most biologically diverse areas.
For information about visiting the preserve, go to our Davis Mountains Schedule of Events page or contact Outreach Coordinator Tara Poloskey at 432-426-2390 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Technically issue #101. There are two issue #68s.
Ever had a moment so nerdy that you needed to tell the Internet about it? Send your submissions to dorklypwnup at gmail.
I was a deputy jailer for three years. During that time, I had to pepper spray more then my fair share of crazy drunk people. One night I had to deal with one drunk who had been maced before. He knew to keep his face down. The only thing I could think of was to yell "YOGA FIRE!" It worked. The guy looked up, confused, and I promptly covered him in mace. He gave up the fight and all was well.-anchampion03
Inspired by last week's post about the guy using Let's Play videos to fall asleep, I fired one up before going to bed yesterday. I ended up watching someone play trough all of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link until 4am.-Mr. Late For Work
I'm jealous of the people who submit stories to Pwn Up about the ways they get out of work or school to play a new game. I don't have have the nerve to lie to my boss. When Arkham City came out, I knew the only way I could convince myself to stay home to play was if I actually made myself too sick to work. I spent three nights eating expired food, hoping to wake up with a debilitating stomach ache. I woke up each morning feeling fine and begrudgingly went to work. The unspeakable pain didn't start until the weekend.-Remy
I love Portal and for Halloween I was Chell. I built a Portal Gun and Companion Cube. Before going out to bars, I made the conscious choice to bring my cube along. I figured, if someone hitting on me doesn't know I'm a nerd right off the bat, they shouldn't bother trying to get into my jumpsuit.-Elizabeth
It's normal (I think) for Facebook game addicts to make extra accounts to help them in games. One month my television broke, denying my access to any console for that month. To make matters worse, my Steam account was hacked and my WoW account expired. I couldn't afford anything, so I turned to Facebook games. Between FarmVille, CityVille, Mafia Wars, Project Legacy and Zombie Lane, I made and still know the passwords to 53 Facebook accounts. These aren't filler accounts like John Smith, or Randy Inyourpants Jr, either. I made and maintained 53 accounts dedicated to my favorite game characters like Chell, Mario and Master Chief. I still have them as a constant reminder of how addicted I used to be.-Anonymous
I just registered for classes for the second semester of my senior year in college. I signed up for "Intermediate Clothing Construction." I did it for the sole purpose of having six hours set aside each week to make cosplays for my husband and I. Cosplay is also the only reason I stay in shape.-PharaohsQueen
Some years back, I got into a car accident. I was going 45 mph when someone pulled out in front of me. Half my seat belt snapped and I flew out of my seat just enough to shatter my windshield but not go through it. I got out of the car and waited at the curb for paramedics to arrive. When they came they put me on a stretcher and strapped me down to keep me from moving, incase my spine had been messed up. The first thing I did on the stretcher was pull my DS out of my pocket, turn it on, and hold it up to the paramedic to ask him if he saw a crack in the screen.-Zach
This is a cake I made for my wife's birthday. We both design and decorate cakes as a hobby. My friends and I pulled an all-nighter to finish it in time for her surprise party. She was confined to the bedroom while we decorated it. She played Ocarina of Time on her 3DS while she waited.-Anonymous

Baked Southwestern Eggrolls, with a spicy, cheesy filling of chicken, black beans, corn, green onions, cilantro, jalapenos and bell peppers wrapped in a crispy wonton, will be a popular appetizer at any game day party, especially the big game of the year.
It is that time of year again…..time for the big game….you know the one I mean. The big game being played in Arizona next week. While the players battle on the gridiron, we will get together with our family and friends to not only watch the game but enjoy our "supper bowl" as well since it is being played when we would usually have our Sunday Supper.
While the guys watch the football game, the girls will enjoy each other's company, while sipping some wine, and chatting and munching on some yummy game day appetizers.
It won't just be any wine we will be sipping, only Gallo Family Vineyards wines. I am thrilled that Gallo selected me to receive two bottles of wine, including one white or rose and one red to pair with an appetizer for the big game.
I selected the White Zinfandel because my husband and I love the crisp and refreshing taste, which includes the flavors of fresh strawberries, and whispers of white peach. Another reason we love the White Zinfandel is that it pairs well with a wide variety of foods, including turkey, chicken salad, and desserts, such as peach cobbler.
For the red wine, I chose the Red Moscato, with its flavors of sweet citrus and peach, and bright red berry finish. It is a medium-bodied red wine that pairs well with spicy foods, light cheeses, and desserts. This makes it a perfect wine for a party because it goes with a number of typical party foods. Gallo recommends that their Red Moscato wine is best served chilled.
Since the big game is being played in Phoenix, Arizona this year, I knew I wanted to do a Southwest type of appetizer in honor of the host city. Southwest Eggrolls fit the theme perfectly. However, instead of frying I wanted to bake them to make them a bit healthier yet still delicious.
The filling contains lots of healthy ingredients including shredded, cooked chicken breast, black beans, corn, red and green bell peppers, green onions, jalapenos, and cilantro. This makes such a beautifully colorful vegetable mix. Stir in a little cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese so it will turn nice and creamy and melty while it cooks.
Place a spoonful of the chicken and black bean filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Tuck in each corner of the wonton wrapper around the filling, and roll to seal. Then bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Once baked, then outside will be crispy, the inside will be hot, cheesy, and spicy, and delicious! Serve with your favorite dip or dressing, such as the Spicy Avocado Sauce or my Southwest Avocado Bacon Ranch Dip.
Be sure to make these Baked Southwest Eggrolls to serve for the big game and don't forget to bring the Gallo Red Moscato or any other of your favorite Gallo Family Vineyard wines.

Problem 2: List of Books, (K Narayan Kumar / R Shreevatsa, CMI)
This is another problem about Indraneel's library. His library has one long shelf. His books are numbered and he identifies the books by their number. Each book has a distinct number.
He has lost many books, since many of his friends borrow his books and never bother to return them. He does not want to lose any more books and has decided to keep a record of all books that he lends to his friends. To make the task of borrowing a book a little difficult, he has given the following instructions to his friends: when they borrow a book, they must record in a register its position from the left among the books currently on the shelf.
Suppose there are 5 books in the library and they are arranged as follows:
26 1 42 15 3
If someone walks in and borrows the book 42, then he will record 3 in the register because this book is the third from the left on the shelf. Now the shelf looks like this:
26 1 15 3
If the next person borrow the book 3, he writes down 4 in the register since this is currently the fourth book from the left on the shelf, and so on.
Indraneel knows the initial arrangement of the books in his library at the time that he introduced the register system. After a while he examines his register and would like to know which books have been borrowed. Your task is to write a program to help Indraneel solve this problem.
Input format
The first line of the input contains a single integer M indicating the number of books in Indraneel's library. The next line contains M distinct positive integers describing the sequence in which the books are arranged on the library shelf. The third line of input contains a single integer N indicating the number of entries in the register. This, in turn, is followed by N lines (lines 4 to N+3), each containing one positive integer. The integer on line 3+i indicates the position from left of the book ith book borrowed. (You may assume that the number on line 3+i is at most M-i+1.)
Output format
N lines with one positive integer on each line. The number on line i is the book borrowed by the ith borrower.
Test Data:
You may assume that 1 ≤ M ≤ 1000000 and 1 ≤ N ≤ 4000.
Here is the sample input and output corresponding to the example discussed above.
Sample Input
5 26 1 42 15 3 2 3 4
Sample Output

This week saw the launch of the Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum in London. This is Christian Louboutin's first ever retrospective in the UK and the press, including Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, The Guardian, Grazia & Telegraph, have been salivating over the exhibition – here's a preview in pictures from The Telegraph Fashion pages.
Not only does the exhibition feature exhibits of his design classics and celebrities stepping out in his ultra-high heels, but according to the Design Museum it is also educational; "At the core of the exhibition is a unique exploration of Louboutin's design process, taking the visitor through every stage of the design journey, revealing how a shoe is constructed, from the initial drawing and first prototype through to production in the factory".
The highlight of the exhibition is this amazing hologram of Dita Von Teese performing a 3 minute burlesque show in her Louboutin heels. I especially love all the sparkly glitter that follows her movements in this hologram and how she emerges from a Louboutin shoe. This sort YouTube clip was filmed at the launch of the exhibition to please excuse the background noise!
The exhibition runs from 1st May until the 9th July – more info from The Design Museum website

Shifts in Bookselling Industry
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
1. Modern Book Distribution, Inc. Case Study Evaluation. Richard Guy, CEO of Modern Book Distribution, Inc. (MBD) scanned the "Executive Summary" of the consulting report he had just received. Guy saw the report was filled with the latest buzzwords and hot concepts: Establish cross docking facilities for high-volume deliveries to large customers...centralize storage operations to decrease safety stock levels...leverage point-of-sale data to move toward a pull distribution strategy...Guy was familiar with all of these phases and concepts at a superficial level, of course - anybody who occasionally picked up The Wall Street Journal or Business Week would be. He was less sure, however, if the consultants were trying to dazzle him with fads or if the kind of radical operating changes that were being proposed in the report would help to position MBD for the future.
Founded 80 years ago, MBD had been for many years one of the largest book distributors in the country. From its seven regional warehouses, MBD services major bookstore chains and smaller independent booksellers throughout the country. The company had continuously strived to improve its service levels and operating efficiency, and it was considered the most efficient book distributor in the industry. Using advanced forecasting techniques to control inventory levels and technologically advanced warehouses to control operating expenses. MBD shipped virtually all of the orders it received within two days from its stock of nearly 500,000 books, the largest in the industry.
The bookselling industry, however, had been changing dramatically, and Guy realized that MBD would have to make changes to remain a book distribution powerhouse. In particular, two relatively new types of retailers were becoming more and more dominant in the industry: large superstores and online booksellers. Both of these categories of retailers presented new and unique challenges to their distributors.
In the past MBD had interacted primarily with the superstores through large regional distribution centers (DCs) that the superstores maintained. In general MBD had shipped to the DCs consolidated orders of many different titles bound ultimately for many different stores. As these superstores learned from the experiences of large retailers in other industries, they started to demand new kinds of services from their distributors. For example, some retailers had started to strongly encourage MBD to ship directly to stores, bypassing the DCs. In addition, as the industry consolidated, these huge superstores were developing more leverage with their distributors. They used this leverage to force the distributors to accept lower and lower margins.
On-line booksellers presented an entirely different set of challenges to Guy and the managers at MBD. Initially, these retailers kept no inventory at hand. Instead, they took orders and relayed them to distributors like MBD, who delivered the books to the retailers for repacking and shipment. Recently, the large on-line retailers had started moving toward a new business model: they established their own distribution centers where they kept inventory and handled packaging and shipment of books directly to the end customers.
Guy realized that these industry changes could provide opportunities and challenges for his company. In particular, the new business model developed by some of the on-line retailers, in which they established their own warehouses, may cut MBD's profit margins. Clearly, if MBD was to maintain its reputation as one of the nation's leading book distributors, it would have to start doing things differently.
Furthermore, he had the consultant's report, filled with recommendations and designs for new distribution systems. Guy knew that he and his management team would have to develop an understanding of these issues in order to properly assess the consultant's suggestions. Based on the case, answer the following questions:
a. Should MBD implement a push strategy? A pull strategy? A push-pull strategy? What would it require to implement the strategy? What is the impact?
b. What distribution strategies are appropriate for MBD's businesses? What questions should MBD management ask when assessing these strategies?
c. How can MBD benefit from changes in the book distribution strategy?
d. What are the advantages to MBD in having fewer warehouses and a more centralized operation? More warehouses and a more decentralized operation?
2. Consider a manager developing a logistics strategy. Discuss specific situations for which the best approach would be to:
a. Employ internal logistics expertise.
b. Acquire a company with this expertise.
c. Develop a strategy, and then employ the specific suppliers to carry out well-defined portions of the strategy.
d. Develop the strategy with a third-party logistics provider.
3. It's a mild day in October, and John Davis, a veteran driver in Atlanta for United Parcel Service Inc., checks his handheld device and discovers he's in for a busy day: more than 500 packages to deliver, a task that until recently would have left him banging on customers' doors well after dark. How does technology deliver for the United Parcel Service?
4. You are the CEO of a small electronics manufacturing firm that is about to develop a global strategy.
a. Would you prefer a speculative strategy, a hedge strategy, or a flexible strategy?
b. Why would you prefer the strategy that you selected?
c. Would your answer change if you were the CEO of a large electronics firm?
d. Why would your answer change or not change if you were the CEO of a large electronics firm?
5. Discuss how supply chain management decisions impact the ability to excel in certain dimensions. Specifically consider:
a. Conformance to requirements
b. Product selection
c. Price and brand
d. Value-added services
e. Relationships and experiences
Solution Preview
Question 1
MBD should implement a pull strategy. The superstores are asking that MBD should ship products directly to them according to the point of sale data and the online sellers prepare deliveries in accordance with the orders they receive. MBD should make quick deliveries direct to the superstores as and when required. The distribution centers of online retailers should be delivered books that are ordered by these centers. Whatever be the sophistication of MBD forecasts, it cannot ship books that have not been ordered. The impact would be that MBD would have to keep an even larger store of books in a centralized warehouse from which these books must be shipped quickly.
The distribution strategies appropriate for superstores are quick-delivery based on point of sale data from the superstores and bulk deliveries at low cost to the distribution centers of online retailers. The question that MBD should ask is as follows. What will be the cost implication of making deliveries to superstores based on point of sale data? What will be the margins when low cost deliveries are made to online retailer's distribution centers?
If superstores can be connected online to MBD then based on shelf information MBD can make preparations to make deliveries and reduce costs. It can use centralized warehousing more effectively to reduce costs. Also bulk shipments can be made to the online retail distribution centers leading to faster selling.
The advantages to MBD in having fewer warehouses will be lower costs. More warehouses and a more decentralized operation mean faster deliveries but higher costs.
Question 2
Internal logistics expertise should be used when the company wants to keep close control on deliveries. If the company wants to ensure timely deliveries in good condition again and again, the company should go in for internal logistics. Also when the company wants to maintain confidentiality of the products delivered it must use internal logistics. For example, if MBD does not want its competitors to know which books it is shipping to each superstore it should use internal logistics. For a manager, internal logistics is most appropriate when he wants the products to be delivered without breakage or denting, and in a timely manner. Greater use of internal logistics means greater employment and a better image for the firm in the ...

Photos: 35 images from the Everglades — shrinking and threatened
Formed roughly 5,000 years ago, during a time of sea level rise, the Everglades once comprised an area twice the size of New Jersey. But over the course of just the last century, about half of the Everglades' original footprint has been lost — plowed under or paved over, never to be recovered, so long as South Florida's 8 million human inhabitants claim it for their homes, livelihoods and recreation.
Here are 35 photos from the Everglades:

Town Square Television: YOUR Local Community Media Station
A truly LOCAL media station
If you live in Inver Grove Heights, Lilydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, South St. Paul, Sunfish Lake or West St. Paul, Town Square Television is your connection to local news, information, and entertainment. This community media station has many of the amenities of a commercial TV station— award-winning staff, high definition cameras, a recently expanded and upgraded studio, professionally equipped edit suites and a newly upgraded custom high definition production truck— but with one distinct advantage: It's all here for the public.
Members of the community can take classes, volunteer, or produce and televise their own programs. A comprehensive line of classes is offered for experienced video veterans and beginners alike, including HD Camera Production, Studio Production, Video Editing and Truck Production.
The non-profit organization televised more than 1,300 unique shows last year. Volunteers log hundreds of hours on studio and mobile truck productions, helping to bring their favorite sports, music or civic events online and on cable TV. Executive Director Jodie Miller points out that with a small staff of 13 employees, Town Square Television depends upon volunteers and sponsors to accomplish its motto: "Your Town, Your Stories."
"We are constantly updating our equipment and training our staff to keep up with rapidly changing technology," Miller says, "Our mobile production truck, which is a rolling studio on wheels, was overhauled last summer with state of the art cameras and lenses, additional point-of-view cameras, and specialty graphics and replay systems. Our staff is training on new editing software, and edit suites will be updated this year."
Providing LOCAL video content
Programming on Town Square Television includes award-winning local news, music, arts, high school sports, faith-related shows, local government, election coverage, history programs, graduations, community festivals and more.
"In October of 2017 we celebrated our 30th Anniversary with a Birthday Bash Open House, and 500 people came out to show their support. This year will be a very big election year, and we will provide many hours of pre-election programming, including candidate forums and individual 'Meet the Candidates' videos, to help voters learn about the candidates on their ballots. On Election Night our staff and dozens of volunteers will produce a live show and open house event to bring candidates and the community together with the results," Miller states. "We cover eight high school and college graduations every year, live on cable and internet, and provide free DVDs to all graduates with the help of our loyal sponsor, Volkswagen of Inver Grove."
"This spring we will televise and webcast all home games for the Minnesota Vixen, a professional women's football team of the Women's Football Alliance, live from Simley High School in Inver Grove Heights," Miller adds.
When and where viewers want to watch
By continuing to add new viewing apps and platforms, Town Square Television allows viewers to find programs online, or on TV, on their own schedule. Besides being easily accessed on Comcast Xfinity Basic Cable channels and Xfinity On-Demand, as well as CenturyLink's Prism TV product, programs are also available at www. townsquare.tv. "We rolled out our new web site in 2017 to provide a more user-friendly and mobile-device-responsive tool for residents to interact with us and watch our videos, whenever and wherever they are," Miller says.
Town Square Television is on Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo, in addition to its TV channels and web site. Facebook Live was included in the mix for the Jan. 31 Special State Senate Election Candidate Forum, and is being incorporated with more live high school basketball and hockey games. "Our viewers are sharing our videos with their social media networks, and we are thrilled to have thousands of viewers all over the world," Miller says.

Three free plays of every song in the Napster library; no software or registration required; cut-and-paste Web link for songs; dozens of prefab playlists you can stream instantly.
Low-quality streaming for nonsubscribers; no videos, radio stations; a few tracks play only 30 seconds for non-subscribers.
Bottom Line
Already the music-subscription champ, Napster has established a Web presence that?s free, fun, and ideal for discovering new music.
Napster is free againsort of. No, you can't go back to swapping MP3s with strangersthat ship got scuttled in 2003, when the service went legit with an iTunes-like music store. What you can do is stream songs in their entirety from any Web browserno client software required. No subscription, either. The songs play free of chargewell, three times each.
Welcome to Napster 3.5, the migration to the Web of the service's mammoth song libraryover two million tracks, according to the company. This isn't exactly revolutionary; AOL Music Now and Rhapsody recently made similar moves. So how does Napster's effort compare, and what does it mean for subscribers?
Just to clarify, Napster is still very much a subscription service: $9.95 per month for unlimited streaming and downloads to your PC, $5 extra for the To Go option (which lets you copy downloads to compatible portable players). Those are competitive rates, though Virgin Digital and Yahoo! still charge less for similar goodies. And if you're doing more than listening to streams, Napster's client software (currently at version 3.7 and just as polished as ever) remains in the pictureit's still the tool subscribers use to download tracks, rip CDs, build playlists, and the like.
For nonsubscribers, however, Napster 3.5 is decidedly bookmark-worthy. The site itself shares the attractive blue-gray look and straightforward design of the Napster client, and it puts no barriers between you and the free tunes: Just browse and listen. You don't have to sign in, sign up, or even install a plug-in (which Rhapsody requires).
There are catches, of course. The biggest one is bit rate: Songs stream at a measly 32 Kbps. They sounded better than I thought they would, but it's still in the AM radio league. What's more, you can play each tune just three times (down from five when Napster 3.5 debuted in April); if you want to hear it again after that, you'll have to subscribe or buy it outright (for 99 cents). This is annoying but understandable: If you could listen indefinitely, you'd have no incentive to subscribe, and the music labels would undoubtedly cry foul (not a new experience for Napster). Needless to say, the labels have fully sanctioned the new Napster, so you can listen without fear of legal recrimination. Even so, couldn't the service at least bump the streaming bit rate for nonsubscribers to 64 Kbps? (At least subscribers get to listen at a robust 192 Kbps.)
Of course, the idea is to let you sample new music in full, not just in 30-second snippetsthe industry standard for preview clips. And on those merits, Napster is nice indeed. Unfortunately, I discovered that for some tracks, 30 seconds is all you get, despite promises to the contrary. That's a label-imposed limitation, Napster says, but it strikes me as disingenuous. Fortunately, these abridged clips seem to be few and far between.
Napster's pop-up player, which works equally well in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox, packs in a scrollable playlist that features album art, a search option, and buttons for buying the track, album, or a subscription. I'm bummed that the playlist isn't interactive, though; you can't jump around to specific songs (you can skip back or ahead one song at a time). But I like Napster's innovations: The player includes a one-click e-mail-this-song-to-a-friend option and an instant-play link that you can copy and paste into a Web page, blog, e-mail, or whatever. Rhapsody recently introduced a similar feature, but it just lets you link to artists, not individual songs.
Napster 2.0 doesn't offer music videos or radio stations (Rhapsody has both), and the community features (a wiki-like section called the Narchive) touted at its launch have gone AWOL (Napster says they'll reappear in the coming months). That's unfortunate, because what I saw of the Narchive was quite promising..
For now, we'll have to settle for free music. Napster 3.5 is the icing on an already tasty cake (the subscription service garnered an Editors' Choice from us last year). Although the anemic bit rate for free songs is disappointing, it didn't diminish my overall enjoyment of the site and its musical feast. I checked out new albums and artists, made some qualified purchase decisions, and even considered restarting my subscriptionexactly what Napster had in mind, I suspect.

Time For A Philadelphia Encyclopedia?
For nearly forty years, Gary Nash has been writing books about Philadelphia with powerful narratives. His specialty has been balancing the books of history with stories long forgotten and purposefully ignored. So why, now, is Nash saying the city needs an encyclopedia?
At a recent 25th-anniversary celebration of the last general history of the city – Philadelphia: A 300 Year History – Nash urged that now is indeed the time for an encyclopedia project. What's been good for Chicago, New York and Cleveland can only be good for Philadelphia, a place that prides itself on it's history more than just about anything else.
No argument here. But it is interesting to note that a scholar who has long been redefining the edges of his field is now confident enough in the current state of things to put his longtime agenda on hold in favor of the decidedly impressionistic encyclopedia format. Could it be that Nash has decided to trust the establishment? Or, could the establishment have, after all these years, come around to trust Nash?
The latter must be true. Why else would the Historical Society of Pennsylvania ask this long-time historian/activist to write an essay on the state of Philadelphia history writing over the last quarter century? Why else would he be asked to address hundreds of celebrants about the state of the field? Yes, times have changed.
And if it is finally OK for the avant guard to let down its guard, what, exactly, is being proposed by such a project? How will it work to serve the interests of the Philadelphia's many communities? That is what we are going to explore here, in this, the newest category at The Sixth Square.
Stay tuned.Explore posts in the same categories: A Philadelphia Encyclopedia?

I agree that an Encyclopedia of Philadelphia would pull together many communities — and now is the time:
As Gary Nash pointed out in his talk, there has been an outpouring of scholarship about Philadelphia in the last 25 years — but much of it is in monographs or academic journals that do not reach a wide public. An encyclopedia would help to make the best of this work accessible.
We also have great energy for Philadelphia history at our many historic sites and in history organizations — why not build from these efforts and help them to reach a wider and longlasting audience?
An encyclopedia would give all of us a place to turn for reliable information — it should provide answers, but I hope it would also generate many questions and additional discussion about Philadelphia's history. I would like to help make this happen. Count me in!
November 15, 2007 at 2:05 pm
The encylopedia project comes at a time when the city of Philadelphia has committed substantial funds towards commemorating slavery at the President's House on Independence Mall. The city and its activist communities pushed for archeology at the site in search of evidence about two presidential households. The ongoing public interest in the dig over this summer stunned people from all sides of the planning; it suggests that the time is ripe for a fresh, popular version of Philadelphia's history. This will meld the power of place with recent scholarship to tell the paradox of liberty and slavery. The encyclopedia can reach a wider audience by supplementing the historical narrative with objects from archeology and material culture, and may even repay the city's efforts by increasing tourism to Philadelphia.
December 15, 2007 at 10:05 pm
There already is a Philadelphia Encyclopedia at WikiPhilly ( http://www.wikiphilly.com ) . It has all the benefits (and drawbacks) of Wikipedia, but as more people read and edit wikis, the better they get. So maybe the readers of this blog should go over to http://www.wikiphilly.com and participate.
June 9, 2008 at 2:36 pm
After looking at the Cleveland and Chicago sites there is no question that such a
project is needed. I have been involved with http://www.wikiphilly.com for about three
years and whenever I submit something it is "edited" by someone who does not
know what they are wtriting about.
My only concern is that since this city feels so insecure about so many things would
someone or somegroup be squeemish about such things as the 1910 transit strike
and the PRT scandals or just focus on the positive?

Case Closed: State of Minnesota's IT Failure Cost Local Taxpayers $41m Over Nine Years
By Michael Krigsman, ZDNet
"Most projects fail due to shifting requirements, inattentive management, poor communication, lousy business fit, politics, and other assorted errors in judgment and organizational maturity. Only in the most unusual circumstances does bad technology dooms a project to failure.
In those cases where poor judgment and lousy communication meet genuinely bad technology, it creates an awful perfect storm where IT failure is almost certain. Minnesota's Department of Human Services (DHS) just closed out such a project, called HealthMatch, in which everything seemed to go wrong, the organization wasted millions of dollars, and little or nothing remains to salvage."

Rothwell etchings at Peoria City Hall
Be delighted and surprised by a collection of Elaine Rothwell etchings on display through Labor Day in the Peoria City Hall Art Gallery.
The 50 works were a gift from the California artist, who signed her pieces E.B. Rothwell, to the West Valley Art Museum. This is the first time the museum's entire collection has been displayed.
"They are all part of our permanent collection," said Connie McMillin, museum secretary of the board of trustees. "We had six of them on view last year but have never had them all on view."
Rothwell, who died in 2011 at age 86, was chosen by ArtTour International Magazine as one of the 60 masters of contemporary art in 2013.
Her work has been described as puzzles and playful puns. On first glance, a print appears to be a standard work of art. But on closer examination, the observer may see a hidden image or a second image that Rothwell created by using the negative space in the work.
For example, "Nor' Easter" at first glance may look like a wind-swept female figure. But in fact, the negative black space of this piece is an actual coastal outline.
McMillin describes Rothwell's work as "very sophisticated but complex.
"I love the subtleties of some of it and the images inside images."
Some of Rothwell's works that will be on display are part of a series. "Spiritus Loci" is a puzzle series that involves characters from early American history. "Art History Mysteries" is another puzzlelike series with images of famous art from different time periods with wildly different styles.
The black-and-white series "Chess" focuses on the game of skill. And there is some kind of stairway in each image of the series "Steps." These images were pulled from Rothwell's childhood memories of stairways.
"People are just amazed at some of the detail work and level and quality of colors and textures, even in the black and whites, which are very detailed," McMillin said.
The placement of the images in the exhibit is meant to flow easily, starting with humorous pieces. Prints that use negative space to create coastal outlines have an explanation of what the observer is seeing.
"These are images that have two meanings," McMillin said. "It truly is all in the eye of the beholder."
Etchings require the creation of plates that are later used to print the artwork. Rothwell made all her own plates.
"She had her own press and did her own printing," McMillin said. "She (also) kept to a particular size."
Elaine Rothwell Exhibit: Through Labor Day, Sept. 1. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Wednesdays, noon-6 p.m. Thursdays. Peoria City Hall Art Gallery, 8401 W. Monroe St. Free. 623-972-0635, wvam.org.

TED Fellows Go Big at Swall Institute
In the spirit of the TED Fellows program mission to help "trailblazers spread world-changing ideas", the second annual "Think Weird Go Big" workshop hosted 7 TED fellows to turn their creative visions into big realities.
By: Phanai Media Group
The TWGB workshops, organized by TED Fellows Eric Berlow (complexity scientist) and Jessica Green (microbial ecologist), facilitate the TED Fellows program mission to help "trailblazers spread world-changing ideas" through collective brainstorming and dialogue that encourages participants to articulate progressive new ideas and seek the input of fellow participants. In addition to Eric and Jessica, this year's workshop included: filmmakers/explorers Anita Doron and J. Adam Huggins, change agent Tian Huggins, poet/pharmacist Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo, artist/designer David Gurman, and Camilo Rodriguez Beltran, a man who eludes all description.
This year's ideas included:
- "Lyrics For Literacy", a project that creates a bridge of awareness and action to encourage the preservation of the Esan language, an endangered native dialect of Nigeria, through storytelling, proverbs and music.
-"Nodes for community-based participatory research", a project that intends to provoke community empowerment through science in developing countries. The initiative follows the philosophy of a different science developed in Rodriguez-Beltran's upcoming documentary film "Autrement".
- "Data driven problem mapper", a platform that helps simple systemic solutions emerge from complex problems using a combination of analytic and visualization tools.
- "Talk Derby to Me", a film that explores the invisible human connections uniting us all.
The TED Fellows program helps world-changing innovators from around the globe amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities. Fellows are drawn from many disciplines that reflect the diversity of TED's members: technology, entertainment, design, the sciences, the humanities, the arts, NGOs, business and more.

When I was little, all I watched was Disney movies. I loved the animation, I loved the songs, and while I was a fan of the heroes, they weren't nearly as fascinating as their villains. Jafar, Scar, Shan-Yu, Ursala…they were so classy and controlled, and even when they went crazy you knew they would still be amazing. My absolute favorite Disney villain was always Maleficent. As you can imagine, I am 100% pumped for the live action film to come out.
Reason #1: Maleficent is just plain cool.
This really is the most important reason. Other than the whole cursing-a-baby and burning-up-a-castle bit, Maleficent is pretty much perfect. She's sophisticated, beautiful, powerful, and she gets what she wants…or else. She relies on no one but herself to fulfill her goals.
On top of all that, she gives no excuses for her behavior. Not only does she not care what people say about her, she revels in it. If she had a cell phone "Born This Way" would be her ringtone. She's the definition of fierce, and secretly, I think she's what everybody wants to be.
Reason #2: Disney is finally getting it.
When you watched Sleeping Beauty as a kid, Maleficent just felt different from the rest of the characters. Sure she was a little scary, but she was also charismatic and charming. You wanted to know more about her. Why was everybody so scared of her? How did she get that strong? Why did she have an army of really ugly pig-goblins? Why was she up in that castle? What's with the raven? One loaded history waited behind that wicked little smile of hers.
She's also completely different from the scared and impressionistic girls Disney tends to gives us. Now, I'm not saying that the princesses are pathetic; there's nothing weak about ladies like Belle and Pocahontas. It's just that Maleficent doesn't have to consult with anybody. She wants something, she takes it. Plain and simple.
If Frozen taught us anything, it's that we're tired of stories where the princess has to rely on somebody else. She's what my generation of movie watchers has been craving from our heroines…and now that we're the one making movies, we're going to be darned sure we get them.
Reason #3: Angelina Jolie is perfect for the role.
Disney is doing everything in their power to get this right. They're catering to the kids who grew up loving Maleficent, so they're staying true the original film. I mean, her introduction in the throne room is a word-for-word recreation from the animated version:
And they couldn't have found anyone better to play the Mistress of All Evil. Angelina Jolie is dark, mysterious, strong, and at least a little bit draconian. Her movements, voice, expressions, they're all spot-on. She totally gets Maleficent.
It looks like they're finally giving the rest of the characters full-fledged personalities too, which is a much-appreciated bonus if you're only coming to watch Maleficent be her devilishly smooth self.
Reason #4: It means that Disney is growing up.
The movie is massively significant to Disney's legacy. It's a turning point in a lot of ways, starting with the title.
Their animated movies tend to be named for the heroin or the situation they're involved in, but this one is called Maleficent. They're flat-out telling you, "We care more about the evil guy than we do the princess." They're switching sides, not only metaphorically but physically as well. Look at the beginning of this trailer:
For the first time the camera is taken off the pretty, glittering castle and turned it around so you can see what the kingdom actually looks like. They're fleshing out the two-dimensional image they've used for years, showing you that there's a lot more to it than some turrets and sparkles.
You have to consider the talent they're using too. The theme song for the film is a cover of "Once Upon a Dream" sung by Lana Del Ray. Again, that's Lana Del Ray, a girl who openly sings about sex, cocaine, weed, drinking, chronic depression, suicide, and imprisonment. For a company that used to refuse to declare people dead until they were out of their theme park, that's a pretty ground-shaking alliance. And Angelina Jolie is no innocent either. Her personal history is rife with sexual and drug-related controversy, along with some weird business with her brother…oh yeah, and her knife-throwing habit. And that whole "she broke up the golden couple" thing. I love her, but Angelina is hardly the kind of woman Disney usually opts for–which is why she's perfect for this role.
Soo…you hype?
With the success of movies like Wreck It Ralph and Frozen, Disney is seeing that we're ready to love the bad guys, even the most ruthless of them. They can finally flex their big, leathery wings and tell the kind of stories they've always wanted to tell…stories like Maleficent.
Seriously, I am so, so excited.

The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, `?' for portable, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.
The following command shows how easy it is to compute digests for typical inputs such as the NIST test vector ``abc'':
perl -e "print qw(abc)" | shasum
Or, if you want to use SHA-256 instead of the default SHA-1, simply say:
Since shasum uses the same interface employed by the familiar sha1sum program (and its somewhat outmoded anscestor md5sum), you can install this script as a convenient drop-in replacement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 23, 2015) — On Monday, October 26, the White House will recognize 12 individuals from across the country as White House Champions of Change for Sustainable and Climate-Smart Agriculture. These individuals were selected by the White House for their achievements and will be honored for exemplary leadership and innovation in agricultural production and education.
The Champions have helped implement agricultural practices that promote soil health and energy efficiency, improve water quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change can no longer be seen as a distant threat. It is already impacting forest, grassland, and cropland systems in the United States, and is threatening agricultural producers and their communities.
These Champions understand the challenges our nation is facing from a changing climate and are taking steps to build resilience to the impacts of climate change, which also protects their bottom line. The program will feature remarks by United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
The Champions of Change program was created as an opportunity for the White House to feature individuals who are doing extraordinary things to inspire and empower members of their communities. The event will be live-streamed on Monday, October 26 at 2:00 PM ET. Visitwww.whitehouse.gov/live/ to tune in. To learn more about the White House Champions of Change program, visit www.whitehouse.gov/champions. You can also follow the conversation at #WHChamps and #ActOnClimate.

Good day to you dear reader, whereever you may be, welcome to my site and my blog, this area is a far more casual affair, offering tips and tricks, and processes; interests and research and insights galore. I'll be using this blog as two things. 1. a window for you, the reader into the way I work and 2. as a kind of learning journal for myself. A place to hold all my learnings, ideas, notes and ponderments as I stumble towards a better understanding of my craft as an artist.
So that's it. Welcome along for the ride. I hope you enjoy yourself, and get involved.... It would be great if this became a two way street. If you have comments or questions for me, ask
Thanks for dropping in...

"Don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." – John F. Kennedy
For each nation, its capital city symbolizes the history, culture, and people. Washington DC is not an exception, and I truly admire what true American spirit represents.
The story of my mother nation, S.Korea, starts with almost 5,000 years of history. There has been so many different events and incidents, some glorious, some gruesome, some dark and full of sorrow.
It was just about 68 years ago when my nation regained its independence (08.15.1945). Back then everything seemed so miserable that no one would truly believe this nation can rise up soon. Believe or not, my nation's capital city Seoul held 1988 Olympic Game, just 43 years after a long turmoil of foreign invasion had ended. G11 Conference was held in S.Korea couple of years ago, and some of the major companies well known such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Kia and Doosan's electronic appliances, motorized vehicles and power plants play the major role in the world industrial pool.
What I am so amazed about the culture in America is that people remember those who have sacrificed themselves to protect freedom of this nation. American people appreciate their troops fighting off mainland, respect veterans of previous wars, and honor past generations.
In Asia, the trend has been changed so drastically that the younger generation does not appreciate the values taught for a long time in the past anymore. The conflict among older generations and younger generation is one of the major political and cultural issues within most Asian countries these days. The awareness of sacrifice that is required for the true liberty is not highly valued at all. It simply is due to the human nature; selfishness. However, the degree is becoming more serious.
My great grandfather's generation fought for my nation's freedom, and my grand father's generation fought to protect the liberty of my nation. My father's generation simply brought the whole new level of prosperity to my nation, and I hope my generation can bring the future generation a wisdom for one simple lesson; Freedom, to be earned, not to be given. To do so, sometimes comes the great responsibility and sacrifice. I hope I'm not afraid of those challenges, and that is why I'm part of Illini 4000 today.
Great job, all members of I4K for reaching this far, and let's continue our journey and remember what we have been doing this for!
