They're all leaves, very lush and juicy, but there's no round, bright pinkish-red root at the bottom. There should be by now. The seed packet says you can harvest them in 4-6 weeks from the time of sowing!
It's a little upsetting as I was looking forward to some crunchy, hot, little scarlet orbs in my salad – but that is not to be.
Sorry radishes for cramping your style and confining you all too close together, but you haven't won, because I can still eat you!
Yes, the leaves are quite edible and you treat them just like spinach – they're a bit on the hairy side to be enjoyed raw, so it's best to cook them.
Mine made their way into a simple pasta sauce. I heated a little olive oil in a pan and add two grated cloves of garlic. Then dried porcini mushrooms which I had first soaked in warm water and then drained, followed by two heaped tablespoons of Philadelphia Light cream cheese. If it seems too thick, just add some milk. Then I added some chopped fresh oregano (from the garden) and shredded radish leaves.

The fourteenth episode starts with Jae-Hee trying to convince Tae-Joon to go to the hospital to see his father who has collapsed.
Jae-Hee goes to the hospital with Tae-Joon, Jae-Hee goes to get refreshments and leaves Tae-Joon to go in alone. He goes in and sees his father standing and his father says that it isn't anything serious and that he just got a dizzy spell from his blood pressure. Tae-Joon helps his dad with the bed and his dad comments on how Tae-Joon must have taken care of his mother. Tae-Joon tells his father that he doesn't think he can forgive his father and says that he is relieved it was nothing serious and then says he is leaving.
Jae-Hee and Tae-Joon are walking to the dorms, Tae-Joon holds Jae-Hee hands and continue to walk.
Seung-Ri visits Ha-Na and tells her that he is being discharged today. He tells her that he will make her smile before he leaves today, he tells some lame jokes and she knows all the answers. He doesn't make her laugh and says the next time he comes he will make her laugh.
Jae-Hee is writing Tae-Joon's high jump goal 2m 31cm on the bed post which is a cm better than his best time.
In the athletic club, Seung-Ri is working them very hard and Jong-Min asks if he is doing this because they didn't visit him the hospital, he disagrees and gives them even more reps to do. As Jae-Hee is doing sit-ups Tae-Joon offers his hand and helps her to do them but he pulls to hard and she goes flying into him. Seung-Ri gives everyone even more reps because she was so full of energy and even else should be too.
Jae-Hee is at her desk and she is thinking back to the sit ups and she wonders if Tae-Joon knows she is a girl because of the look that he gave her when she fly into him. Instead she thinks that maybe Tae-Joon is also attracted to men so she shows a picture of what she thinks is a man but is instead a girl to Tae-Joon and asks what he thinks of it. He tells her that it is very pretty and that he would go on a date and she gets all flustered then she realizes the page fell out. She tells him that she was just joking around after he hits her head.
Hyun-Jae is practicing and he hits the bar but the coach says he is doing better he is just jumping prematurely. Hyun-Jae goes to fix the bar and Tae-Joon says he is doing it but Hyun-Jae tells him to just get ready. Tae-Joon then tells Hyun-Jae that to match the timing it was better to sing a song than to count internally. He asks what song he sang and Tae-Joon says Frog Boy. Tae-Joon is trying and keeps hitting the bar while Jae-Hee is filming with her phone. His coach says that his balance is off and asks if something is wrong or if he is dating. Tae-Joon says that nothing is going on and the coach says that they body needs to be tuned in for him to get over.
Tae-Joon and Jae-Hee are sitting and watching the video and Tae-Joon says that his form is a total mess. She asks if his balance is off because his father is in the hospital and he tells her to not talk about that. They watch another video and in the middle she gets a text from Eun-Gyeol asking if she wants to go watch soccer with him. She tells him that since Eun-Gyeol hurt his leg that is why he promised he would go watch the match today. Dr. Jang walks by sees them together and then sits down. Teacher Lee is walking past and sees Dr. Jang sitting and the Coach sees her watching him and she tells him that Dr. Jang is sexy especially in his forearm with his veins sticking out.
Tae-Joon's manager is visiting Tae-Joon's father and she asks him when he will tell Tae-Joon the truth about his mother. He tells her that it is fine now and that she should just let Tae-Joon keep believing what he does.
Jae-Hee is about to leave for the soccer match and invites him to come and she wishes he would come and just when he was about to agree she says bye and takes her phone out of his hand.
Jae-Hee and Eun-Gyeol are sitting in the bleachers watching the game from his phone. Jae-Hee apologizes about his leg and he tells her that she is her best friend and that he has been greedy and getting greedier all the time. He wishes she could just stay by his side forever. Jae-Hee says sorry again for everything and that later on if he is disappointed she hopes he won't hate her.
Tae-Joon is practicing and still not getting over the bar and Hyun-Jae is not getting over it either. Coach tells them to stop and he calls Tae-Joon over and tells him not to come back in the gym until tomorrow because he is over practicing and that he should rest and have fun. He tells him its his heart and that he needs a rest. He tells Jae-Hee to take Tae-Joon away and to take pictures to prove it or he will give her a training from hell.
Tae-Joon is doing push ups and Jae-Hee sits on him so he can't do anymore he decides to just some more with her on him until he collapses.
Coach invites Teacher Lee and he has made hand drip coffee and he shows off his forearms for her and she notices how the veins stick out. He tries to pick up the coffee but he can't and then she notices something on his upper arm. It is rubber bands to make his veins stick out, and he tells her he wears it for concentration. He then tries to drink the coffee without hands and promptly spills it on himself.
Jae-Hee is going through her date book and realizes that Tae-Joon has not been doing well since his father went into the hospital. She then tries to convince Tae-Joon to go out with her. They go out shopping and enjoy themselves at the arcade and other places. She takes him to his old elementary school and they play on the playground. He has a flashback to him younger greeting his dad happily.
They take Sang-Chu for a walk and Jae-Hee talks about her old neighborhood fondly. He asks her if she regretted coming this far and she says no and he tells her its weird that him jumping gives her strength. He says if he starts jumping like before that she will then leave and she says probably. She says she is cold and he takes off his jacket and gives it to her. Tae-Joon then shockingly goes in for a kiss to a very surprised Jae-Hee. Jae-Hee asks if the chocolate he had earlier had alcohol in it and he agrees.
Jae-Hee sees Dr. Jang who tells her it is no big deal and that he does it to women on the subway all the time. He asks what she would do if Tae-Joon found out, she says that she would have to leave but that she wants to be a girl to Tae-Joon. He tells her when she first came here he saw a sense of desperation and wondered how she was going to resolve it. She says before she makes a decision to leave there is still something left she has to do.
Jae-Hee has a flashback to the problem with Tae-Joon's father and then gets up and meets Tae-Joon she tells them that they are going out to eat for supper today.
Hyun-Jae brings Eun-Gyeol water and he asks Eun-Gyeol how his dating life is going and if its a guy. Hyun-Jae asks if its him and he of course says no and they joke around more.
Tae-Joon goes into the dorm and he sees his goal again and thinks he can accomplish it. He wonders if she is going to tell him that she is a girl.
Jae-Hee goes to visit Tae-Joon's father at the hospital she tells him she has a request.
Jae-Hee is walking on campus and Eun-Gyeol comes up to her and he asks what's wrong and she tells him that she did something that Tae-Joon is going to yell at her about. Eun-Gyeol encourages her and tells her to be strong and she thanks him.
Tae-Joon is waiting in the dorm and Jae-Hee comes in and they go out to eat and when they get there she tells him that his dad is coming. As Tae-Joon is about to leave his dad walks in and his father tells him to sit down because he has something to tell him. Jae-Hee tries to leave but Tae-Joon tells her to stay and his father tells her that she can leave. They sit down and his father tells him that he doesn't know everything about his mother's death.
Tae-Joon is walking and then sits by the water crying. He flashbacks to his father telling him that his mother knew about her illness from the beginning and hid it from them. She was in last stage liver cancer and treatment was impossible but a transplant was suggested. His mother didn't want him to know because she didn't want to be a burden and he thought it was better that he blamed him instead of his mother. He tells Tae-Joon that he is sorry and Tae-Joon is crying alone.
Jae-Hee flashbacks to her talk with Tae-Joon's father and she tells him that Tae-Joon still needs someone to lean on. If it was her her heart would be hurting especially since his mom died and he has to hate his father. She tells him that she wishes he wouldn't hide anything from him. Tae-Joon comes in crying he says he is late and she tells him no and welcome back. She goes in for a hug and she cries with him.
Eun-Gyeol is playing soccer and his coach comes up to him to tell him that the National Team Coach is coming to see him today.
Tae-Joon's father gets a text from Tae-Joon which is pictures of when he went back to his old school and tells him not to carry the burden all by himself.
Tae-Joon and Hyun-Jae are training. Tae-Joon makes it over the bar and waves to Jae-Hee who is watching.
Jae-Hee and Tae-Joon are at the school store and she asks if his father and him made up and he says not completely yet. Tae-Joon says thanks for doing that for him. Eun-Gyeol comes in and sees the two of them together, he leaves and he wonders why he can't be natural like Tae-Joon.
Tae-Joon goes back to his room and there are flowers sitting on his desk the same one he saw at the florist when they were out. Jae-Hee comes in and he asks what this is and she says she got them for him because he saw him looking at them last time. Tae-Joon asks if he can interpret it anyway that he wants to and she avoids answering him. He then goes up to and grabs her arm and tells her to not act like nothing is going on and then he tells her that he likes her. He then tells her that he is going to workout and goes out the door. He sits outside the door breathing and she is confused inside the room. Jae-Hee then realizes that it is time to tell Tae-Joon that she is a girl.
Eun-Gyeol comes out of his room complaining about Hyun-Jae and looking like he needs to use the bathroom. He goes into Jae-Hee's room thinking that no one is there and opens the bathroom door. Eun-Gyeol sees Jae-Hee take off her shirt from behind and sees her bandage around her and asks if she is a girl and this is how the fourteenth episode ends.
I am not completely sure how Eun-Gyeol could tell Jae-Hee was a girl from the back. I guess he saw the binding and could see a woman's shape through it? anyway finally he knows because I was feeling really bad for him he was questioning his own identity and going crazy. Tae-Joon can stop blaming his father for his mother's death because they would be a very miserable life!! Teacher Lee has such a large crush on Dr. Jang lol I would be attracted to him more than the coach!! I think that Jae-Hee should just tell him that she is a girl and then go to a different school as a girl and be his girlfriend!! but I guess that would change their relationship because they would not be able to live together anymore! sigh!!

Got Questions?
The following are answers to questions and concerns frequently expressed by people interested the best way of teaching handwriting:
1What is the difference between manuscript printing and cursive writing?
Manuscript printing is taught to beginning learners because it most closely resembles the print they encounter in books when they are learning to read. Cursive writing, also called handwriting, is taught later, usually at the end of 2nd grade or beginning 3rd grade.
2Why not skip print and teach Cursive writing only?
Research indicates that children are learning to recognize letter symbols as they write them with a paper and pencil. Repetition through practice imprints the appearance of each letter on the brain, so recognition of letters when learning to read becomes automatic. This why children who never learn to write Cursive frequently encounter problems reading Cursive writing.
3At what age should children learn to print the alphabet?
Most children are developmentally ready for the introduction of letter writing at age 5; however, some may be ready 6 months earlier and others not ready until age 6. If a child experiences frustration and little or no interest in learning to write, it is best to set this task aside for about a month and try again later. A child who continues to have difficulty or resists trying to learn may be experiencing vision issues or other learning delays that require appropriate assessment and interventions by trained professionals.
4Why is practice of tracing lines and shapes included in the Level 1 workbook?
Letters are merely combinations of lines and shapes. Tracing various lines and shapes help children become comfortable in the task of reproducing these correctly when introduced in a letter. Tracing pages also develop small muscles and enhance fine motor control.
5Why is repetition and practice necessary for learning how to make letters?
Just as practicing musical scales makes for easier facility in making music, practicing letter formation helps to make writing become automatic.
6What else should children be taught while learning to write letters?
Learning to write should be a part of a well-balanced reading program. The format of the pages in our workbooks include foundational and elements necessary for learning to read: recognizing letters in print, where to start on a page, left-to-right sweep, direction from top to bottom of a page, high-frequency words, word spacing, punctuation and sentence writing.
7What can happen if children do not learn the correct way to write letters?
When children are not taught how to write letters correctly, they resort to "drawing" what they see. They often make letters incorrectly and then struggle with writing fluently and legibly. When transitioning to Cursive writing, they often have difficulty mastering this higher level skill. Eventually they may revert back to the original letters they learned to "draw". Unfortunately, this often results in combining some print with Cursive and develop a "script/print" style of writing for everyday use. Our writing method corrects this common writing problem. We develop handwriting skills through a continuous, sequentially developed writing series allowing students to become proficient writers.
8The emergence of keyboarding as a daily practice in education invites the question: why do children need to learn handwriting as well?
Besides the advantages already discussed, some authorities recognize the important role of handwriting in the enhancement of cognition. Deardoff (Chicago Tribune, 1, June 15, 2011) held that: "The benefits of gripping and moving a pen or pencil reaches beyond communication. Emerging research shows handwriting increases brain activity, hones fire motor skills, and can predict a child's academic success." As technology becomes more commonplace, it cannot and should not, replace handwriting, the most personal skill an individual has.
9Do I need to take a class to teach handwriting using these workbooks?
No. All sections in each workbook include detailed directions and information for teaching children to print and write in Cursive.
10What is writing in longhand?
It is an older term used for Cursive writing. They are the same.
11Is penmanship the same as Cursive writing?
No, not exactly. It is a general term used to evaluate the overall appearance and legibility of the written page.
12Is there a discount for bulk orders?
Yes, a 25% discount is applied automatically to all orders of 5 or more items.

How Do Obviously Unsafe Conditions Factor Into A Premises Liability Case?
Many factors come into play when trying or settling a premises liability case. Whether the hazard or dangerous conditions were obvious is certainly a factor. If you suffered a serious injury and believe you have a premises liability case, consult San Mateo attorneys who can evaluate the prospects of pursuing legal action.
California Civil Jury Instructions (CACI) 1004, called Obviously Unsafe Conditions, states that "if an unsafe condition of the property is so obvious that a person could reasonably be expected to observe it, then the [owner/lessor/ occupier/one who controls the property] does not have to warn others about the dangerous condition." However clear and simple that statement may seem, in the case Osborn v. Mission Ready Mix (1990), the court ruled that defendants have a duty to take precautions to protect against the risk of harm from an obviously unsafe condition, even if they do not have a duty to warn. Thus, juries still look at landowners' responsibilities to maintain safe premises when arriving at a verdict in a slip-and-fall or some other type of premises liability injury.
One court (in Donohue v. San Francisco) compared the obvious danger factor with the assumption of risk doctrine. The court decided that plaintiffs assume a risk when they know that danger is involved and they enter the premises anyway. Whether you are a landowner or an injury victim, case laws are often complicated, and having an experienced injury attorney in San Mateo is crucial when it comes to protecting your rights.
Sarrail, Castillo & Hall, LLP has extensive experience handling premises liability cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. Our perspective of both sides in a case enables us to obtain successful outcomes for our clients.

It was past midnight, after a long day of meetings and presentations. But the music was still thumping, as multiple parties competed for attention up and down La Croisette, the tony high-priced boulevard that swings along the beach in Cannes, France. Ad-industry Mad men and big-company marketing execs spilled out into the street in front of the Gutter Bar. Champagne and rose were flowing at the Carlton hotel terrace.
Spring break in Fort Lauderdale was never like this.
I'd journeyed to France for the annual Cannes Lions international advertising festival to moderate a daylong forum on the "future of media" and to gauge the perspective of the world's best brand stewards. By all outward signs, they were feeling pretty good.
But there was an undercurrent of unease amid all the euphoria (and not simply the prospect of hangovers and sunburn). As the creative community distributed awards– the coveted Lions–to acknowledge the year's most compelling work, there were also plenty of whispers: about the increasing complication of marketing campaigns; the data that promised so much and delivered so little; and the social media explosion at the core of all this, a Wild West of few easy lessons.
Not too long ago, social media was an experimental milieu for risk-tolerant brands. Then, suddenly, every business seemed to embrace that it needed a Facebook strategy and a Twitter strategy–as if simply having a strategy would be enough. Now tension between social companies and marketers is rising, epitomized by GM's decision to publicly bail on Facebook advertising, delivering a slap just as Mark Zuckerberg's company went public–and spawning doubt that has helped push Facebook's stock steadily downward.
The risk in all this tumult: that we mistake the messiness and growing pains of social media for a diminution of its impact. Social media is not a fad. It is a powerful, global communication revolution that requires new approaches for all businesses–and that has not yet solidified into reliable patterns. In this issue, we've constructed "The Social Media Road Map," and anchored with an essay by Baratunde Thurston, former head of digital for The Onion. Our tone is playful, not because we don't take social media and all its challenges seriously; rather, we recognize that all who claim to be expert in this arena, who claim to know exactly what to do and how to ideally capitalize, are kidding themselves, or their clients, or both.
Social media has become so ubiquitous that we forget how new, how early in its evolution, this phenomenon is. Yes, our package includes rules, pronouncements, and a host of unpleasant truths, but the larger insight threaded through all these lessons is how transient any certainty is in this arena and how important adaptability and flexibility are to long-term success.
So all right, let's enjoy this party. Let's appreciate what's been achieved and what is possible today. But don't drink too much and head out into the deep water for a swim: You might find yourself in over your head. Wade in, enjoy the water, and keep your wits about you. You'll need them.

UK Universities Dump Language Departments, 40% Could Close in a Decade
A former British government adviser charged with bolstering foreign language uptake in higher education has disclosed that the number of universities offering modern languages degrees dropped from 105 in 2000 to 62 at start of this academic year.
Professor Mike Kelly, a former adviser on the Department for Education's steering group on languages, has warned that 40% of university language departments are expected to close within a decade, according to Daniel Boffey of The Guardian. Kelly currently is head of the government-funded Routes into Languages programme coordinating attempts to increase the number of language degrees in England.
The rate of attrition is expected to continue into the next decade. A further 20 departments will be vulnerable to closure in the next 10 years, but there is growing concern that the pace of decline is set to quicken, according to Kelly.
In England, there are huge areas being left without any degree-level language courses. Also, the number of language teachers in schools is dropping in the country, which is no surprise since A-level candidates for French and German fell by 50% between 1996 and 2012.
This crisis is delivering a blow to the UK's diplomatic and economic hopes, and the British government is concerned.
The British Chamber of Commerce said it feared a "potentially disastrous" impact on the UK's export potential when David Cameron has ordered a doubling of trade with the wider world. Even the government's ability to reform the EU over the long term is being set back, with just 3% of European bureaucrats being British despite the UK contributing 11% of Europe's population.
The Foreign Office is also worried about the future of its diplomatic corps with senior figures privately voicing urgent concerns about the standard of its graduate recruits. The department has built its own languages school and is spending £1m a year to bring the civil service up to scratch.
Kelly, a professor of French at Southampton University, said: "British graduates are not being employed in the key European institutions and one of the reasons is you need two foreign languages. There is a lot of concern. The danger is that the pace of reduction of university language departments will increase for two reasons: the number taking A-level [languages] has dipped quite sharply and those recruiting successfully are being encouraged to take on more students, so fewer students are available for struggling departments."
In last 12 months, the universities of West of England, Staffordshire and Bolton have closed their language departments. The University of Salford announced that it will also close its department.
According to Kelly, what caused the collapse in the popularity of languages was a decision in 2002 to make the subject optional at the GCSE level. He also cited political and cultural change in the UK as both a cause and a symptom of a growing contempt for foreign cultures: "There is an increased parochialism. General xenophobia doesn't help."

Dog elevator mishap
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
A responsible dog owner with his Bulldog an a leash walks into the elevator. The doors close before the dog gets in and the elevator takes off. Horror ensues.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
According to a news report on this incident, the dog was fine but the guy's hand was broken (leash was wrapped around it).
Link to the news article please?
We live in a high rise with elevators and take the dog out 2-3 times a day. That's 6 times getting in and out of the elevators...this is my fear everyday! What is the protocol when you're in the elevator and the pooch is not?
Should I carry a knife with me to cut the leash? judging from this video, there would have been NO time to react!

The Procurement cycle is the cyclical process of key steps when procuring goods or services. This interactive tool has been developed to guide members through the procurement process with links to relevant knowledge to support you every step of the way through your procurement journey. Join CIPS to get full access to CIPS Knowledge.
Hover and click on the procurement cycle to review the topic summary with links
to the practical knowledge and resources to support your day to day activities whether
studying or operating in an organisation.
Tap the procurement cycle to review the topic summary with links to the practical
knowledge and resources to support your day to day activities whether studying or
operating in an organisation.
The first stage of the procurement process is to understand and define the business needs. By involving cross functional stakeholders in this process and utilising their expertise you can develop a high level specification. Engaging stakeholders at this early stage can support the change process where stakeholder buy in is required.
Once the business needs are outlined and a high level specification developed the next stage is to research the options available in the marketplace. By scoping out your spend and current positioning and dynamics of the marketplace you can start to identify potential suppliers and degree of competition in the marketplace.
At this stage analysis can be conducted on whether to make or buy the product or outsource the service.
Once you have developed the specification, and outlined the business requirements and assessed the marketplace, the next stage is to develop the strategy and plan and should consider the potential impact of the external environment.
It may be the organisation's policy to use small local suppliers or it maybe to move to a global source. If there is competition, and you are well positioned to leverage the market, you may decide to conduct a competitive tender. If however you are reliant on one sole source of supply your strategy may be to develop competition in the marketplace or bring this in house. If for example your volume represents 50% of your supplier's total turnover your procurement power will be greater, however also presents risks. All of these considerations should be incorporated within your analysis.
Market development identifies both stakeholder and business needs and the changes required in order to implement the procurement strategy to meet those needs flexibly. Testing the market or strategy will help to identify if it is the right time to go into the marketplace and other factors to consider such as crop cycles, what your competitors are doing, suppliers end of financial year or new legislation.
Time should be spent in developing the tender documents including a detailed breakdown of the volumes, service level agreement and terms and conditions along with a detailed specification to ensure consistency on pricing, product quality, operational functionality and that products are fit for purpose in order to reduce the financial impact of the wrong specification further down the line. When developing specifications it is important to distinguish between product requirements and product preferences and build in tolerances for suppliers to adhere to, not restricting the supply and build cost into a product. You may decide to include technical, engineering or operations in this process.
The specification will form part of the tender documentation issued to suppliers to quote on a like for like basis.
Conducting a Request for Information (RFI) at this stage in the procurement cycle will help to gain insights into suppliers, size, capabilities, financials, strengths and weaknesses before assessing whether they should be included in the tender process.
Ranking the performance qualifiers against the business needs with key stakeholders is a useful exercise at this stage before reviewing the RFI against the selection criteria in order to select whom to invite to participate in the tender process.
Once you have selected the companies to participate a formal Invitation to Tender (ITT) and Request for quotation (RFQ) is sent out to participants, items to be included are specification and documentation developed around the business requirements along with clear timescales to respond.
Once the tenders are submitted, bids must be evaluated and validated in order to select the preferred supplier. Whether tendering contracts for the supply of goods or services, tender evaluation should be carried out in a structured, disciplined and transparent manner. Most evaluations explore price comparisons alongside technical capability, capacity, quality of service and financial health.
At this stage a post tender negotiation often takes place, along with checking of references and credit checks or carrying out supplier visit, technical audit, product sampling or a trial.
Whole life costs should also be considered including the decommissioning, removal or disposal costs.
Once the supplier has been selected a contract is typically developed which allows both parties to fully understand their obligations and key success criteria as part of the agreement. This forms the foundation to manage the contract and relationship effectively. The agreed terms and conditions help to minimise contractual risks and exposure when doing business.
Once the contract and terms are agreed then the communication and implementation process can begin with clear timescales and parameters set out on both sides, including relevant stakeholder groups to manage the implementation effectively.
The warehouse operations need to be considered in terms of the product coding and classification, space, layout and racking, frequency of deliveries, order processing and booking in procedures to ensure an efficient process, along with any other business requirements.
There should be periodic reviews of performance against Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) set out in the contract along with discussions on how the relationship is working and resolve any conflicts that have arisen. At this stage discussions and plans can be set for continuous improvement along with the next review date.
SRM is an important part of SCM as it reviews the portfolio of suppliers and helps to arrange resources in order to devote the right level of input to the relationship in order to achieve specific objectives. How much time devoted depends on the strategy, type of purchase and length of contract and marketplace.
SRM helps to create the right relationship and environment in which to work on new developments and evaluate the option of streamlining processes. The ultimate goal is to realise efficiencies which will add value and increase the organisations profitability. Having the right relationship with a supplier may be the difference between being first to market with a new concept or in a difficult supply market ensuring you have continuity of supply and reducing your risk.
Over time assessments will be carried out on whether the business requirements have changed, whether the agreement is still required and fit for purpose, what can be learnt from the process and how this can be incorporated to improve the process next time. This cycle then begins again.
End of life costs should also be calculated to consider decommissioning, removal or disposal processes. See tools – whole life costing model.
As an organisation, procurement structures vary depending on the culture and structure of the organisation.
The structure of the team whether this be centralised, decentralised or hybrid structure on a local and/or global level, should be aligned to deliver both the procurement and organisation strategy. This structure will enable the procurement process to run effectively.
A business does not exist in isolation and can be influenced by other factors outside of their control; this is typically referred to as their 'external environment'.
The external environment consists of competitors, the economic, social, monetary system and the political/legal system and affects all parts of the procurement cycle.
eCommerce systems including E-Sourcing and E-Procurement are widely used by organisations to buy and sell products and can utilise technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems and automated data collection systems.
In any activity an organisation undertakes, whether strategic, operational or tactical, the activity can only be successful with the input, commitment and support of its key stakeholders. Gaining and maintaining the support and commitment of stakeholders requires a continuous process of engaging the right stakeholders at the right time, understanding and managing their expectations.
In addition to traditional economic criteria such as price and quality items such as social, economic and environmental factors should be considered to ensure a sustainable solution when procuring products and services.
Sustainable procurement helps organisations to eliminate waste, become more energy efficient and inevitably save money. Corporate Social Responsibility is a way of ensuring that the business monitors its compliance with the law and industry standards and how business processes can be managed to provide a positive impact on society.
During various stages of the procurement cycle you should understand the risks that can impact an organisation and implement strategies to mitigate and manage those risks effectively.
Continuous Improvement also known as 'Kaizen' means 'change for the better' and encompasses all people, products, services and processes in an organisation.
Continuous Improvement consists of making continual small improvements rather than big changes at irregular intervals, requiring close monitoring and control and ideally inbuilt into the organisations culture.
People are a key asset and arguable the most important resource in an organisation, translating other resources into added value. Therefore ensuring you have the right skill set within the team will help to achieve the organisations objectives. There is a diverse skill set required as you progress through the purchase order cycle in order to manage relationships and influence stakeholders and suppliers, along with analytical skills, financial analysis, through to leadership and change management skills. Therefore it is important to periodically review and support training opportunities where necessary to ensure people feel valued and the business retains the right skill set.

St. Lucia Transportation
The majority of visitors to the island fly into Hewanorra Interational Airport (UVF) at Vieux Fort, on the southern tip of the island. However, there are two airports in Saint Lucia: the George F. L. Charles Airport and Hewanorra International Airport. Hewanorra International Airport is the larger of the two airports. George F. L. Airport, formerly named Vigie Airport, is located north of Castries, which is the capital city of St Lucia. Flights to St. Lucia land in both airports regularly.
Immigration & Customs
Visitor passports must be valid for at least three months prior to the completion of travel to St. Lucia
When going through immigrations and customs, present your valid passport and return ticket. Fill out your immigration form and make sure you declare all purchases made to avoid fines.
The duty free allowance into St. Lucia is 200 cigarettes or 250 grams of tobacco or 50 cigars, one litre of spirit or wine. Duty free shopping is available at Pointe Seraphine, La Place Carenage and at the departure lounge of Hewanorra Airport. Luxury items include jewelry, batiks, giftware, local crafts, liquor, cigarettes and cigars.
Getting to Your Hotel
CheapCaribbean.com has partnered with Nexus Tours as our premier transportation company in St. Lucia. They'll provide you with safe, comfortable and professional transportation, from the airport to your resort, and back.
After you clear customs and exit the terminal building at the airport. Look for the Nexus Representative holding a CheapCaribbean.com sign. The representative will then escort you to their van for your transfer to the hotel.
Getting Around St. Lucia
We recommend making transportation arrangements with our tour operator. However, you can also get around the island by taxi. Taxis can be arranged by your hotel. There are also local buses available that provide a more affordable way to get around. Note that the buses are small vans that hold around ten to fourteen passengers and vary in quality.

The things that go down on Spring Street, and Main, and the other thoroughfares crisscrossing downtown, on the big screen? Not really likely in real life.
We don't really want to see a train barreling down the center of Spring (a Fillmore-located train that you can really ride) like in "Inception." Nor do we want Justin Theroux to go after the windshield of our car with a golf club, like he did to a movie executive in "Mulholland Drive." We want our downtown streets to be orderly and well-maintained and without drama.
But the fantasy downtown seen on the big screen? It can get as dreamlike and surreal as all get out. Semi-spoiler alert: The fast-paced and stormy segment of "Inception" that was filmed around our downtown had us both wanting to follow the plot and see if we could spy any favorite coffee shops or landmarks.
A curiously local predicament for the LA-based movie watcher.
"Jonah Hex" also recently shot on Spring, and the street will appear in "The Green Lantern." IMDB lists the major road's many movie roles.
The most commonly featured downtown superstars include the 6th Street Bridge, 2nd Street Tunnel and 4th Street Bridge, according to a report out earlier this year from FilmLA.
The photo above, from "Inception," appears to be shot at Hope and Flower (the Pegasus apartments being on Flower, though a few blocks away). Given the changing-space-around-ness of the movie, however, it can be a bit difficult to tell. Is that Hope and Flower, or an alternate-reality Hope and Flower?
(Addendum: LeFreak79 says it is Hope and Wilshire. Thanks LeFreak79!)

Couldn't figure it out until now what was looping in my head about Claire Dane's People's Choice dress. Have a look at it and now check out what she wore to the Golden Globes last year:
Duana picked it as her Best Dressed.
The two pretty much come from the same idea, non? Except the Globes version is far superior.Photos:

John Carmack is not only one of the best programmers in the world, he's also more than happy to share the source code for older games and engines released by id software. That has already happened for the first three Quake games, and first two Doom games, and the Doom 3 code was expected to appear imminently.
However, Carmack has run into a legal hurdle regarding a technique he used to achieve shadow volumes in Doom 3. The coding technique is known as Carmack's Reverse, and uses a stencil buffer implementation to efficiently add shadows to a rendered 3D scene.
The issue with Carmack's Reverse is the fact it was a joint development and the patent relating to it is owned by Creative Labs. With that in mind, the lawyers at Zenimax, id Software's parent company, are a little concerned about releasing the source code with it in.
Carmack has always been a problem solver, otherwise we wouldn't have seen any of his groundbreaking game engines. This legal issue is one that needs to be solved, so rather than getting all involved parties to agree to release the code, he is instead just going to rewrite the parts that may cause a legal issue.
Carmack made that decision known by way of this tweet a couple of days ago:
Anyone waiting to start working through the Doom 3 source code has yet another thing to thank Carmack for. By solving the issue himself, Carmack has probably saved months of discussions and we should see it released much more quickly now.

Lovely to see the baby pics debs, but I seem to remember you said at the outset she wasn't going to be a social media baby.
What fun we had last week when Antthony was in town – see more below, Also a Grandbaby update on little Blake Katherine, and a photo from behind the scenes at QVC!
This weekend's fab offers
But first here is this weekend's line-up so you can click straight through if you read it before the weekend is over and you're in time for some of these Today's Special Value offers and weekly Big Deals!
Click here for Today's (Friday 30th) amazing offer, Lulu's Time Bomb four-piece Supersize Complete Skincare Collection, going very well already.
Saturday sees Skechers return with the knitted slip on Glider pumps, really low-priced as well.
Sunday – Dyson is back with the brilliant Hot + Cool quiet bladeless fan, this one has a timer. I know it's a lot price-wise and it will not be everyone's budget. But for the converts, you never go back! I rely on these 100% because of the safety and accuracy of keeping a room at a constant temperature without spending a fortune. Mine toggles on and off when I need it to, even when I am not there. Great for new mums worried about babies in cold rooms I think. Just put it on the floor so the breeze is not directly hitting baby and you are done!
Plus, go here to get this week's Big Deals
Get Attitudes by Renee jersey button-sleeve Top here
For gardeners go here for the Ryobi One+ cordless lawnmower and grass trimmer here
Or for beauty lovers try this fantastic Rio Make-Up Brush Cleaner with bowl here – check out the blooper below to find out more about this great product…
Don't forget to order before midnight on Sunday, 1st April though, as there will be three new ones on our sister channels from Monday for a week.
Fun with Franklin
If you missed it I also prepped my lovely Flora Mare show by using a super radiance face mask – trouble is it frightened the life out of my fellow presenter Dale Franklin! I posted it on my Facebook page so it's easy for you to see – go here if you would like to watch the video – you can see it even if you are not on Facebook, don't worry. The Flora Mare mask duo has eight reviews – all five stars, and was very cleansing, leaving my skin with a real radiance. It was still evident when I did the
I had a Diamonique show the day after. Look at this lovely photograph – make-up (by Rachel, from our lovely Make-up Junkies team) was fabulous too, using the Tarte Sunday's TSV (still available here), and of course a Style-a-do hairpiece which made my make-up look wonderful.
PS I'm wearing a fabulously glamorous Antthony sparkle top, available here – if there's any left.
There were lots of sales recently and many temporary offers, so do check out all the clearance sale items whilst they are still active, if you like a good bargain or two, like I do. Also on that link, how to get a £10 voucher off your next order if you buy three clearance items, too!
I have actually just recently bought some Lock & Locks again, we must have had about six sets down at the retreat in Devon, but we do love a bit of organisation, my lovely helper friend Wendy and I. The Lock & Lock set that I bought is orange so I will definitely be colour-co-ordinating the dry ingredients in our larder over Easter!
Fun behind-the-scenes
One of my favourite fashionistas wore his most beloved outfit when he was on with me last weekend – his dramatic matador jacket, but little did everyone know it was as solid as a rock! What a funny guy he is. We had several clearance deals too – one of my favourite tops of his was this one, part of a set, including a scarf. It's under £33 for now, so go see it soon! And this one which is the pack of two trousers on clearance price, these are the petite but there are also regular – amazing bargain. Check out the Antthony range on our website if you haven't seen it before, for over 100 offers. But they are really wearable and I love the viscose mix the most.
Facebookers lunch
Had a fab annual Bodyblade get together last week – a super lunch up London with the Bodyblade Ohana (it means family in Hawaiian!), organised by lovely Sue Stewart and Co. It was so nice to see everybody and have a good catch up, in an Italian just off Piccadilly. On the way there I passed a new Moss structure on the pedestrianised road just by the station, and wondered what it was. It turns out it's a 'city wall,' a living breathing structure packed with greenery which helps to soak up hundreds of times more pollution than just a single tree. I do hope they have lots more of these. Google it and have a look as I did not manage to snap a photograph as I was rushing to meet the girls!
High on a hill
Went out and explored around the local area with my sister-in-law Boki last week, and we did seven miles all around South Croydon. This is a view from the top of Sanderstead, it used to be called Sanderstead on the Hill and had quite a few Quaker families living there in the old days, apparently that's why there are no pubs! I was very tired afterwards though I can tell you. Fortunately my cough has abated this week and I do hope this weekend my shifts will be without any problems. As obviously it is Easter, my mum and sis are coming down with their partners, as well as my uncle and auntie, to stay at my place in Devon. I hope you have a lovely Easter whatever you do.
How times have changed… not?
Pontypridd Museum had this fabulous piece of memorabilia on display recently and lovely Morwenna Lewis the curator said I would be able to feature this on my blog – it's a postcard postmarked Ilfracombe, 12 August 1911. It was part of the exhibition on women's suffrage and the 1918 representation of the people act. Wish I'd known earlier – I am researching that era, as regulars will know, for my next novel which is set around about that time, called French or Dutch, and I find it the most fascinating time of change for women. Seems like the person who wrote this was well ahead of her time. Either that or nothing changes! Ha ha. If you are too late for that exhibition they also have a new one about bees on the 4th and 11th of April including info about building a Bee hotel. To go and see it if you can. I love the Bee emblem, and wear a Diamonique bee pendant that has a matching bracelet. And if you did not know it, my name – Deborah – means 'bee' in ancient Hebrew! And I worked in Manchester when I was a Piccadilly Radio in the mid-80s (it's Manchester's symbol as well.) So if there is any mention of these amazing creatures, I'll bee there ha ha….
Blooper of the week
Catherine had lots of fun this week with Kim, watch this video. I did love the product though its one of Bid Deals of the Week the Rio make-up brush cleaner – once I watched this I ordered it ha, ha.
Grandbaby update,
I was ill so had to duck out of visiting my little granddaughter who is now two months old, last Sunday, but my mum and my sister got to have their first baby cuddles. How lovely is that? She is really beginning to grow into her looks isn't she?! Looking forward to seeing her next week. Don't forget I only update about her on this QVC blog or on my posts on my own website, not on Social Media as such, so do sign up to the newsletters and you will get the email with the blog as soon as it comes out! It's usually a Friday afternoon.
Book of the Week
This was recommended to me by one of our lovely regulars, and my friend, Jill Dowding Walker. It is called 'Why we Sleep' because it's full of the new science of sleep and dreams by Matthew Walker and is fascinating. I have decided I need to ensure I get more sleep. The trouble is I get a second wind around 10pm, I blame all of my late shifts. The other night I went to bed quite early but ended up doing ancestry.co.uk updates until around two! But I will get there and listening to this book definitely helps. More about this and special offers for Easter weekend on my new book blog on my website – I'm also reading a superb thriller from Clare Macintosh I'll talk about next week!
By the way if you love reading and want to read more, go see a post on my Facebook QVC page this week (see link below) – it's an amazing speed-reading test and also how to activate 'word runner' if you've got one of our Amazon Fire Tablets!
Something from the catch up on iPlayer this week – 'Ruth Ellis, a very British crime.' This is a three-part documentary drama, created by an American researcher who looked very deeply into the circumstances surrounding the crime of passion committed by the last woman to be hanged in Britain, Ruth Ellis, who was executed in 1955 for shooting dead her lover. Soon afterwards, they changed the law and ended capital punishment. This era fascinates me, and I know a lot of you also find it intriguing. What she uncovered was utterly absorbing and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the episodes, very cleverly peppered with clips from the time. Do look it up if you want something thought-provoking to watch.
PS I would have reviewed the film I went to see with my mum on Friday, but it wasn't really adult photo. 'A Wrinkle in Time' is a Disney, and I thought it would be better than it was, given all the famous people that are in it, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey et cetera. But to be honest, I would have enjoyed it… if I was 12. Take the kids along, possibly my nieces would like it!
This week on QVC:
Bank holiday Monday is a special gardening event and Richard Jackson will be bringing us his Lawn Magic, this time with an easy to use hose end sprayer. Well worth it if you want a fabulous garden by summer!
Tuesday is the comfort bra pack of four from Vercella Vita, a lovely lace jacquard design.
Ultrasun will have the High Protection Kit in a five-piece on Wednesday, stock up now!
Plus watch out for early bird links from Monday on my Social Media including my Facebook page (see link below). (Do like the page to get the updates automatically but if you are not on Facebook it doesn't matter because you will still be able to read the updates as they are public.)
On Thursday, Vax is back with their RapidPower Advanced Carpet Washer complete with multitudes of accessories. This is where a 30-day money back guarantee comes in handy isn't it?
And on Friday Kim & Co return with another amazing jumpsuit including in petite size with a beautiful keyhole detail in Brazil knit with a wrap finish. Love it!
Next week – A weekend in Devon with the relatives! What are you up to? Have a good one!
Best wishes

text: Trolling, unlike a few other forms of fishing, requires very specific gear. For many skilled fisherman, the trolling motor is the cornerstone of the trade. Landing a big catch while trolling requires the right trolling motor accessories and the right experience. Further, the right electronics, bait, speed, and team members are all going to impact your ability to catch fish. It's also important to note that any freshwater trolling motor is going to be different from a saltwater trolling motor. Other small differences separate this equipment from each other, which is important to pay attention to. At ReelTrail, you can find freshwater trolling motors, saltwater trolling motors, and all the trolling motor accessories you'll need!

Skift Take
It's surprising that all airlines haven't created mobile-optimized sites for booking, but Alaska Air now joins those airlines that realize mobile sites are a necessity to keep up with the needs of today's business travelers.
Alaska Airlines' mobile website now allows its customers to purchase tickets from any Internet-capable mobile device, including smartphones.
The carrier, which has a reputation for embracing new technology, plans to add self-bag tagging kiosks at the South Florida airport in the near future as it continues to rollout the new service system-wide.
The airline has also rolled out its Flight Status On the Go feature that enables customers to text 252752 (ALASKA) for up-to-date flight status information, including arrival and departure times and gate information.

BEVERLY, Mass. – Western New England University, ranked No. 1 in this week's Grinold Chapter New England Division III Football poll, edged Endicott by a 20-7 score in conference play on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Hempstead Stadium.
The opening half in today's game belonged to Endicott until the final 18-seconds of play when the Golden Bears shifted all momentum before the break with a blocked punt, and an eventual one-yard touchdown dash by Anthony Service (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) that evened the score at 7-7.
Before Western New England's momentum killing score, the Gulls' locked down the Golden Bears on offense limiting their unit to zero points, and just 80 yards over 28 plays.
In the second half, roles were reversed for both squads as Western New England's defense pitched a shutout to push its record to 7-0 overall (4-0 NEFC), and also improve to 19-2 in its last 21 games.
- Jacob Simons (Barrington, R.I.) gave Endicott its 7-0 lead late in the second quarter (2:52) when he caught a jump pass from a scrambling Joe Kalosky (Plymouth, Conn.) in the back of the end zone.
- Simons finished the contest with two catches and 16 yards, while Kalosky threw for 179 yards on 14-for-34 passing (two interceptions, long – 46 yards).
- Chris Lipscomb (West Springfield, Mass.) led the Gulls' receiving corps with four catches for 62 yards.
- Brett Fox (Niantic, Conn.) was the difference for Endicott in the field position game as the junior punter notched a single-game career-high five punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line. Fox also compiled 353 yards on eight attempts (44.1 average, long – 50 yards).
- William Rivera (Orangeburg, N.Y.) registered a career-high 14 tackles (5 solo, nine assisted, 2.0 for a loss), and one quarterback hurry.
- Christian Martinez (Tariffville, Conn.) had a career-high 12 tackles (five solo, seven assisted, one sack, 3.5 for a loss), while Christian Filonow (Nashua, N.H.) pitched in with eight tackles and one pass breakup.
- Craig Anderson (Franklin, Mass.) recorded one sack (and four tackles) to inch one step closer to breaking Kevin Eagan's program record of 23.5 sacks set from 2008-11. Anderson currently has 20.5 career sacks on his football resume.
- Service ended today's win with two touchdowns (one passing, one throwing), 23 rushing yards, and 95 passing yards on 14 completions (21 attempts).
- With 18 passing touchdowns this season, Service is now just one shy of matching Tyler Ward's single season program record of 19, which he set last fall.
- Nick Connell (East Marion, N.Y.) racked up 132 yards on the ground via 22 attempts, while Dante Aiken (Brooklyn, N.Y.) rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown, which came at the 5:51 mark of the fourth quarter.
- Mohamed Camara (New York, N.Y.) added the Golden Bears' second score of the afternoon with a three-yard TD catch at 2:25 of the third quarter to make it a 14-7 game at the time.
- The Golden Bears featured a balanced defense as eight student-athletes recorded five or more tackles.
- Kurtis Jolicoeur (Windham, N.H.) paced the defense with eight tackles (one solo, seven assisted, 0.5 sacks, 0.5 for a loss).
- Chris Quarles (Naugatuck, Conn.) also shined for Western New England as the sophomore recorded three tackles (two solo), two interceptions, and two pass breakups.
- With the win, Western New England knocks Endicott from the ranks of the unbeaten in the NEFC. The Golden Bears and Salve Regina are the only two remaining undefeated teams in conference play at 4-0.
- Western New England's victory evened the all-time series with Endicott at 7-7 in 14 meetings. The Golden Bears have won three straight games against the Gulls dating back to 2014.
- The rainy conditions limited both offenses, as the Golden Bears outgained Endicott 291-211. Western New England's total of 291 yards represents its lowest this season and marks the first time the Golden Bears have failed to rack up over 400 yards of offense.
- Neither team had success on third down, as Western New England converted on just 3-of-13 (23%) attempts and Endicott went 4-for-17 (24%).
Endicott (3-4, 3-1 NEFC) hosts Salve Regina University next Saturday on Senior Day at 12 p.m. Western New England (7-0, 4-0 NEFC) returns home next Saturday against Maine Maritime at 1 p.m. For the latest on Endicott Athletics, follow the Gulls on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.>
