In a remote land there lies a region with undulating hills and fertilevalleys. Widely-travelled settlers have laid the foundation stone forthe city of Arkadia. In addition to several other buildings, they wantto construct a magnificent castle on a hill. Four wealthy families –the cloth merchants, the spice merchants, the carpenters and thesilversmiths – want to enhance prestige and augment their influence. For this reason, they compete for the major contribution to the castle's construction. Players act as architects. The four families commission them to plan and realise the build-up of the town and the castle.

Google today unveiled the Chromebook Pixel, a laptop that ships next week at a price starting at $1,299.
But is the Pixel worth the money? For $1,299, that's comparable to many laptops on the market, including Apple's MacBook, and a bit of a change for the laptop whose main draw was its value. Google is giving the Pixel a touchscreen and high-density display and hoping users want to live their life in the cloud, according to AllThingsD.
That means that users will have to use the Chrome OS products because the Pixel doesn't support desktop software. Instead, a user will make do with Web-based applications, and is the best possible device for those users, according to Sundar Pichai, Google's SVP of Chrome. And it boasts the most pixels per square inch, even more than Apple's laptop fare.

"Unlike the Latin American left, the pathetic European version has lost all sense of what it means to do politics. It does not try to propose concrete solutions to problems, and is only able to take moral stances, in particular denouncing dictators and human rights violations in grandiloquent tones. The social democratic left follows the right with at best a few years delay and has no ideas of its own. The "radical" left often manages both to denounce Western governments in every possible way and to demand that those same governments intervene militarily around the globe to defend democracy. Their lack of political reflection makes them highly vulnerable to disinformation campaigns and to becoming passive cheerleaders of US-NATO wars. That left has no coherent program and would not know what to do even if a god put them into power." - Jean Bricmont

Section 2.3 of Hovey's Model Categories book defines a model category structure on Ch(R-Mod), the category of chain complexes of R-modules, where R is a ring. Lemma 2.3.6 then essentially states (I think) that taking projective resolutions of a module corresponds to taking cofibrant replacements of the module, at least in nice cases (e.g. when the projective resolution is bounded below). There is of course also a "dual" model category structure which gives the "dual" result for injective resolutions and fibrant replacements (Theorem 2.3.13).
I think the results in Hovey are proven for not-necessarily-commutative rings. Do things become nicer if we restrict our attention to commutative rings only?
Do these results generalize? For example, is there an analogous model category structure and an analogous result for Ch(OX-Mod), the category of chain complexes of OX-modules, where X is a scheme? More generally, how about for Ch(A), where A is an abelian category?
If the answers to these questions are known, then I assume they would be "standard", but I don't know a reference.
I've re-asked my question in a different form here.

The chemistry major at Eastern is built upon and fosters strong student-faculty interactions through small classes and collaborative research opportunities as well as through substantial hands-on learning experiences using state-of-the art instruments and equipment. Courses in the major are taught by a very well-trained and dedicated cohort of faculty. Chemistry faculty have very high expectations for chemistry majors and they are equally committed to their success.
Our goal is to help you become a well-trained chemist and prepare you for the next step in your chosen career path. Whether you are planning to pursue a graduate or professional degree, to teach, or to seek employment in the chemical or related industries upon graduation, our programs are designed to help you achieve your goals.
The department offers B.A. and B.S. degree programs plus a secondary (high school) science teacher certification option. The B.S. program includes concentration choices in chemistry, biochemistry, and management.
All programs are built upon a common set of chemistry foundation courses plus ancillary courses in math (calculus) and physics. These courses are typically completed in the first two years of study.
The B.A. program is designed to be paired with existing pre-professional programs (e.g. pre-health) or minor programs (e.g. criminology, environmental sciences) in other disciplines. With careful planning, students can complete a second major in conjunction with the chemistry B.A. and do so in 4 years.
The B.S. chemistry and biochemistry programs are certified by the American Chemical Society. Both programs provide students with needed skills for entry level chemist positions in industry or government and prepare students for advanced study in chemistry or related disciplines. Both programs also serve as gateways to professional schools.
The B.S. management program is unique in that it combines chemistry with a business oriented curriculum. Students in this program complete undergraduate pre-requisite courses for the MBA program.
The B.S. with teacher certification, chemistry specialization option, prepares students to become high school chemistry teachers.
Lastly, in addition to a traditional two-year research based M.S. degree, the department also offers an accelerated M.S. (also known as BA/MS and BS/MS) which are available to motivated students desiring to earn both Bachelors and Masters degrees within a five-year period, http://www.eiu.edu/eiuchemgrad/accelerated_MS.php
Degree: BA in Chemistry, BS in Chemistry, BS in Biochemistry
Accreditation: BS Certified by American Chemical Society

SO brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 71 Designs von 24 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Logo design for artist's business cards, website, and other artist materials. Logo will also be used as an artist's stamp on the verso of photographs, etchings and other artistic media.
Studio Obscura
Many thanks in advance for taking the time to review mybrief and enter my contest.
I am searching for an identity, beginning with a single logothat will capture the essence of what I do as an artist. I'm not looking tobrand my name, but rather a studio concept which acknowledges thefact that art is inherently collaborative.
I'm an emulsion-based artist working in photography, film,and printmaking. I primarily work in 19th century photographictechniques, particularly wet-plate collodion, a Civil War eratechnique. My work is often referential to multiple eras and mediums includingstill life painting, historic photography, early movies, and the history ofmedicine to name a few. From a distance, my work looks historic, but as you getcloser you are confronted with contemporary imagery and ideas. I just recently finished a new set of imagescalled Unnatural Curiosities, a series of still life images composed of anamalgamation of everyday objects arranged into a new context—a context symbolicof our hidden desires, motivations, and anxieties.
The winning design will most likely reference the past(think 19th century business cards), but look toward the future. Itwill work in color and grayscale, look great on a business card and website,and be appropriate as a stand-in for my signature on the work I produce.
- Creative, expressive, professionally executed, but not marketing fodder
- Should work as a stand-alone identity
- Include Studio Obscura in logo, but logo should be coherent without the name

Hasbro corrected the first release of SL12 Obi-Wan Kenobi, the AOTC "you don't want to sell me death sticks" version from Saga 2003, to the intended and represented, not to mention much better done, TAC iteration from 2008. How do mix ups like these happen at the factory? We can only guess, but Hasbro may need to go home and rethink their life...err...quality control.
Speaking of the white ROTS Clone Trooper from 2005, here he is next as SL16! This particular mold has been used a few times, including the ROTS Commander Gree and exclusive Covert Ops Clone Trooper.
A repaint of the original white super-articulated Revenge of the Sith Clone Trooper from 2005 for the ROTS Skirmish in the Senate Battlepack, this Shock Trooper has seen many lives as either a Saga Legends or Battlepack repack. Still, the sculpt is good and the deco is appealing, therefore, he's still a decent army builder to beef up Palpatine's goon squad.
This figure may not be the most articulated or even definitive R2-D2, but boy is he fun with all the flashing lights and electronic sounds. A repack of the Revenge of the Sith figure from 2005, this mold actually saw its first incarnation in plastic as the POTF2 Power FX R2-D2.
Ah, the tale of two Vaders, also known as Vader's aplenty for the holiday pegs. First releasing the removable helmet figure from 2008's The Legacy Collection (BD08), Hasbro run changes it for the more ESB appropriate version from 2006's The Saga Collection. Both versions are readily available on the pegs along with the newly released The Vintage Collection figure.
Hasbro's latest print ad spotlights their new Vintage Collection and The Empire Strikes Back wave featuring Han Solo and Princess Leia recreating the Hoth Rebel base evacuation.
Size matters not, yet Yoda comes packin with a firing cannon! First released in 2005 for the Revenge of the Sith collection, this version comes with a removable plastic molded cape, which hinders his poseability when he has it on, but has decent articulation underneath.
The "guts" of this sculpt was from the Sith Evolutions figure from 2005, which Hasbro retooled along with a new headsculpt for The 30th Anniversary Collection in 2008. Now that The Vintage Collection figure is considered the frontrunner, this SL version, with its limited arm articulation but not too bad a head sculpt, is relegated to secondary Battle Pack filler status. You know, for the kids.
This Clone Trooper mold was part of an immensely popular Entertainment Earth exclusive in 2005 and was later re-released for the TAC Saga Legends assortment in 2007. He's not a bad EP2 (Phase II) clone to build troops if you're inclined to do so, especially with all the 2 fers and BOGO's being promoted at your favorite retailer this holiday season.
First released as an Episode III Sneak Preview figure, this version of General Grievous has been repacked so many times we lost count. The cape was switched from white to grey and an electrostaff added in 2006 for The Saga Collection, but everything else, save some slight deco changes, remains the same. You can also pick up this Grievous in the just released Battle of Utapau Battlepack if you haven't had enough of him.
Saga Legends parties like it's 1999 with this repacked version of Darth Maul. First released for The Episode I assortment as part of the Sith Speeder and Darth Maul deluxe vehicle set, the figure was also repacked as part of 2007's Saga Legends. Why the affinity for this particular figure? Beats us. We can think of a couple of other versions of Maul that would be a little bit more worthy of a $7-$8 pricepoint. As it stands, this figure is a fine example of another era. While we miss the novelty of Commtech Chips, let's leave this figure to that era.
It's hard to believe that it's been four years since this figure's release and she's definitely due for an upgrade given what Hasbro's recently achieved with the likeness and articulation of The Vintage Collection Hoth Leia. Those swivel jointed elbows can certainly be updated with discreet ball joints and all will be right with the world.
Saga Legends 05 Jango Fett saw a running change from the 2002 pre-posed Kamino Escape version to the slightly improved and more feature rich TAC iteration from 2007, which actually matches the product photo on the cardback. While neither version is perfect, we're hoping it will soon be a study in an almost decade long evolution once the new Vintage Collection figure is released. You've come a long way Hasbro.
It appears Hasbro made a paint modification for the Vintage Collection 09 Boba Fett for more character accuracy. The latest figures shipping with the Return of the Jedi wave has paint changes in the helmet, from a green outline on the cheek to black, and the blaster tip has changed from silver to black. There are also hue changes in the armor, specifically on the shoulder and knees. Finally, Fett's boots also has an altered paint scheme.
This figure is going on almost 5 years and still looks good. Our favorite misfiring Rodian barfly was first released in 2006 as part of the Vintage Ultimate Galactic Hunt for The Saga Collection. He comes with a blaster and a cache of "secret" weapons he'll most likely never need.

Walter Sheffield necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
The logo is to uniquely represent the Discoverer India. This vessel is one of 5 that have been built by Transocean. Transocean is an international offshore drilling contractor who operates offshore drilling rigs world wide. Transocean has the largest fleet of deep water drill ships of any offshore drilling contractor. The Discoverer India will be working offshore India
The target audience is our operating crews, the managment of the rig, and our clients, who are major oil companies that operate worldwide in the exploration for oil & gas worldwide. The logo should make the Discoverer India stand out as a unique deepweater drill ship capable of exploring for oil and gas in water depths up to 10,000 feet. In industry logo it is a 6th generation Enhanced Enterprise class drillship that utilizes the comapnys patented dual activity drilling technology
Below are two links. One to the company home page & the second to a sister ship that is working in the US Gulf of Mexico(http://deepwater.com/fw/main/Home-1.html)
The log will be used on clothing such as shirts & ball caps, as a sticker to put an hard hats, for patches that are sewn onto clothing, & used some on stationary and forms..
Attached is a logo for another rig, the Deepwater Frontier (DWF). Also attached is the logo design for the DDKG1. I would like something like the DWF logo with the background being an outline of the Indian subcontinent. The only text needed is the vessel name - Discoverer India. I do not want it to be in the same format as the DWF with the rig name wrapped as part of the logo. The name can be above or below the logo. Linit to 3 colors.
Attached is a sketch of another idea. The art work, which is less than clear, is the ship as an out line with a tiger around the derrick. The tiger is the symbol of India. This is also the year of the Tiger in Asia based on the lunar calendar so two symbolic meanings.
The proposed color scheme is for the ship hull - gray, the background - blue, lettering in Red, and the tiger to be orange & black. Do not include Transocean on the bottom of the logo.. Attached are some photos of two of the sister ships. The Discover India will be the same.

MPs have approved same-sex marriage in England and Wales
- Details
- Created on Tuesday, 05 February 2013 21:00
BBC News
February 3rd, 2013
MPs have approved same-sex marriage in England and Wales in a key Commons vote, despite the opposition of dozens of Conservative MPs.
The Commons voted in favour of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, by 400 to 175, a majority of 225, at the end of a full day's debate on the bill.
Prime Minister David Cameron has described the move as "an important step forward" that strengthens society.
About 140 Conservative MPs are thought to have voted against the plans.
Former children's minister and Conservative MP Tim Loughton told the BBC that he believed "140 or so" of his party colleagues had voted against the plans, along with "a small rump of Labour MPs" and "four Lib Dem MPs".
He added: "Apparently there are 132 Conservative MPs who voted in favour, so I think what we're going to see is that more Conservative MPs voted against this legislation than for it."
'We are all equal'
Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said: "I genuinely believe that we will look back on today as a landmark for equality in Britain.
"Tonight's vote shows Parliament is very strongly in favour of equal marriage.
"No matter who you are and who you love, we are all equal. Marriage is about love and commitment, and it should no longer be denied to people just because they are gay.
"The Liberal Democrats have long fought for equal marriage. It is party policy and I am proud that the Liberal Democrats are part of the coalition government that are making it happen."
MPs were given a free vote on the bill, meaning they were not ordered to vote a particular way by party whips.
Their decision to back the bill at second reading signifies that they approve of it in principle. The legislation will now receive more detailed parliamentary scrutiny.
'Divided nation'
Opposition leader Ed Miliband said: "This is a proud day and an important step forward in the fight for equality in Britain.
"The overwhelming majority of Labour MPs supported this change to make sure marriage reflects the value we place on long-term, loving relationships whoever you love.
"Equal marriage builds on Labour's successes in government which include the repeal of Section 28, equalising the age of consent, the introduction of civil partnerships and changes to the rules governing adoption."
But Conservative MP David Burrowes said: "We do respect the equal value of men and women, but surely that doesn't avoid us looking and celebrating difference, and marriage is a great way of celebrating the difference between a man and a woman."
He predicted that the legislation would receive substantial opposition when it arrived in the House of Lords.
He added: "If the view was that this was going to show us as a party in touch, well, we have done. The nation is divided, we have shown ourselves as a party to be divided.
"We have been the ones showing ourselves to have a grown-up, free-vote, conscience issue debate, and we shouldn't hide behind the fact that we're going to be divided on this issue."

Does anyone have advice or best practices for building out basic procurement operations? I am currently running a task force with finance, accounting, and legal to create processes, policies, and procedures for vendor transactions and contract processing. Anything from sample documents to useful technology would be great!
• Fire and Emergency NZ • 2020-01-02 08:55:28
Hi Nicole - I'll give it a go, as it's not good to sometimes wee posts like this without replies.
For mine, it's great that you're working with finance and legal - too often legitimate partners like this seem to be ignored when thinking about procurement, and what it can do.
I guess my question for you is what do you see the procurement function in your organisation doing ? I ask because I think this thinking should dictate then your processes, systems and structures. You might see it simply as a person or team supporting finance processes and decisions made by the business. Alternatively, you might see them in the more strategic role that is often spoken discussed - leading the business along, being significant inputs into business strategy and driving partnerships with suppliers.
If you'd perhaps be able to make that a bit more explicit, then hopefully others will have made it a New Year's resolution to help out others and pass on anything relevant that they might have.

• Isle of Man Government • 2020-01-09 15:59:58
Hi Nicole,
First thing good luck, what an exciting time and opportunity, enjoy every brain racking moment !
Based upon experience I strongly suggest you spend your greatest time obtaining buy in from the major business stakeholders, by demonstrating the added value your function will bring and setting out the policy/ies with their involvement. You can have the sweetest processes and procedures in the world, but if business stakeholders haven't bought into what you're doing things will go nowhere and failure isn't an option. Equally I've found that if stakeholders have helped develop the policy, they're pretty relaxed about how you go about delivering the benefits.
One last thing; make sure you have all stakeholders engaged and in agreement, discord is your enemy.

Warranty & Discontinuation of Product
Hi everybody, Now we have a situation here in terms of warranty and product discontinuation : A large facility was being constructed which required ~1500 architectu...
Hi everybody,
Now we have a situation here in terms of warranty and product discontinuation :
A large facility was being constructed which required ~1500 architecturally exposed fixtures of a particular style/model. A Purchase Order was drawn up with terms of Warranty of 10 years. This was in 2014.
Cut to 2019, replacement of 9 fixtures are required (5# attributable under warranty provisions + 4# misused by the Purchaser) and it is now learnt that the fixtures itself is discontinued from the product line since 2017.
It is not possible to install 9 fixtures of a different model / look as these are architecturally exposed fixtures / products.
The Supplier has politely declined to answer the conflict of giving a 10 year warranty ending 2024 and discontinuing the product in 2017.
Q1: Advise on possible ways such a situation has been contractually dealt with.
Q2: How can one estimate the damages towards default by the Supplier in committing to its obligations under the Warranty Period, since the product has been discontinued?
Thanks in Advance
Product replacement or discontinuation is obviously quite usual - but that doesn't alter warranty obligations. The manufacturer should have stocked sufficient to meet likely needs. Without knowing the value. It is hard to know whether it is worth pursuing them; right now it sounds like they are ignoring you in the hope you just give up.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your viewpoint and I couldn't agree more with you on this.
However, they have actually discontinued the product and their revised e-catalogue confirms this. I am sure they understand that a Purchase Order from us would just add on to their revenue in multiples at best, to risk such ignorance. Of the 28 product categories they have supplied, the issue affects only 1 of the 28.
The query deals around with
(a) non availability of spare parts of the product and
(b) non availability of the product itself.
• Isle of Man Government • 2020-01-09 15:26:31
Experience suggests this will boil down to the terminology used within your warranty document. It may be unreasonable to expect a supplier to maintain full stocks for all warranty potential on discontinued products (Tim already mentioned value...). More commonly, suppliers offer repair or replacement with the direct alternative product. If the 'standard' warranty were considered unacceptable at the outset it would be appropriate to develop the warranty model to include a recommended spares holding based upon MTBF, or more onerously full replacement of the product range used including mobilisation costs. Either way both parties are fully aware of expectations and obligations from the outset.
Contractually speaking if the warranty document is deficient you are really only left with negotiation. An option being to approach the supplier for access to the original product production drawings and look to have bespoke replacements made.
As a compromise and considering the actual failure rate seems quite low (5# out of 1500#) - though in no way trying to belittle the frustration you must feel - are there visual aspects where use of the replacement product may be viable and use the original products from those locations for the more visible locations ?

My organization (public organization)has a new Procurement Leadership that is requesting that we (Buyers) issue contract amendments for change orders the Engineers (Project Managers) send in for additional work (increase in scope). I see this as change orders for the project and not amendments to the contract. We also have language in the contracts and the change orders follow this process, using the change order document provided in the contracts. I cannot seem to understand why we are doing an amendment for a change order. In my opinion, the scope is increasing but the work (project) is still the same, so there is no need for a contract amendment. Please can anyone provide an insight? Is it required that contract amendment be issued for, and in addition to change orders when there is an increase in scope?
• Ministry of Defence • 2019-10-04 08:42:04
How do you increase the price of the contract, assuming the change order varies the price? Suggest it's via a contract amendment. But, however you do it make sure it's legally enforceable!
• Lego • 2020-02-24 09:32:33
from the similar situations, we have used change orders, what matters is here what is the object of change - increase in assigned resources, increase in delivery method,increase in delivery schedule, increase in scope of work. When the impact is on Resource/related service and requirements - we use change forms to update/prolong the current Statement of work. For me by nature Project Managers - they have the same work to follow-up on a Project timeline, budget, Scope - so to be assigned to a new project, it still for me sounds like to stay in the same role, only managing another project (with another timeline, resources, budget constrains).

For Agreement between the Parties of differnet origin , the aurgument starts up on Jurisdiction and governing law for the AGreement. while both the Parties are interested in proposing law of their respective country to be made applicable to the AGreement, I want to know whether there is any list of prioritised or ranked Jurisdiction/ Govering law like World bank ranks each country a ranking for " ease in doing business" and almost 190 countrites are listed. For example, I propose indian law and other Party would prefer Laws of Singpore to be governing law. Can parties choose England and wales as nuetral or any other preferred law.
• 2019-08-30 18:01:18
In the US, Texas or New York are largely considered "neutral territory" whereas in Europe, until very recently UK law was considered neutral. I think that may change with the recent political upheaval.
• Ministry of Defence • 2019-10-04 08:50:59
Or try international trade law?
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-11-05 09:40:02
In the case of one party proposing Indian law and the other proposing Singapore law, the parties may well choose the law of England and Wales as both Indian law and Singapore law are based upon English and Welsh common law. (Note that there is no such concept as "UK law" as one commentator has suggested below).
However, a party should consider a wide range of factors before proposing a particular governing law and should weigh up the legal and commercial advantages and disadvantages of all the options.
One factor may be the degree of certainty that a contract will be interpreted in a particular way. English law adheres to the doctrine of binding precedence. Some legal systems do not. This could lead to significant uncertainty as to how the law will be applied.
In English law, it may be perceived that the courts allow a greater degree of freedom of contract. Subject to certain exceptions, freedom of contract in English law means that commercial parties are completely free to make disastrous bargains. This illustrates the comparative reluctance of the English courts to interfere on policy or other grounds to rewrite the parties' contracts for them.
For example, in English law it is possible, provided very clear wording is used, to include an exclusion clause that excludes any and all liability whatsoever, even for a deliberate breach of contract. And there is still no recognition of a duty of good faith being applied generally to commercial agreements (but watch this space!). This may or may not be an advantage to you but it remains the case that the courts are likely to give effect to the wording of the contract without imposing their opinions as to what does or does not amount to good faith.
And you may wish to consider the approach of a particular legal system to particular clauses.
For example, in English law, a liquidated damages clause will be subject to the clarification set out recently by the Supreme Court with a subsequent judgment, applying that test, indicating that a freely-negotiated LD clause is likely to be upheld subject to the requirements set out by the Supreme Court. Under UAE law, such a provision would be subject to Article 390(2) of the Civil Code and either party may apply to the court to adjust the agreed amount of compensation so it is equal to the loss. If Indian law were to apply, we would have to consider the effect of section 74 of the Indian Contracts Act 1872.
English law will also recognise an asymmetric jurisdiction clause.
And it may be that the choice of law clause will be reflected in the choice of jurisdiction. So, English law and the English courts. If the choice of courts is to reflect the choice of law, it may well be the consideration should be given to the efficacy of the court system and the technical expertise and other qualities of the judges.
Lots to consider.

Does anyone know of models or guidelines for the most effective way to present the buyer's MSA template in the RfP process? This is for private company sourcing, not public tendering. I am a lawyer supporting the in-house procurement department of a large global company, and I see that non-lawyers have trouble finding the most effective way to deal with the legal parts of the RfP process. I would like to provide some generalized guidance instead of case-by-case. It would be helpful to have some models or examples as a starting point.
For example, do you spend time to tailor the legal terms before sending the document to bidders, or wait until negotiations with the winner(s)? When is it best to include the entire contract template, and when is it best to include only mandatory clauses (code of conduct, personal data protection, etc.)? When should you allow post-award negotiation and when should you require bidders to accept T&Cs as is?
Links to IACCM resources on this subject are also welcome, as I haven't found any through a search. Thank you!

Hi all,
Can we have a clear explanation for the differences between the terms of Procurement and Purchasing, and also the right position of the Supply Chain, is it a part of the Procurement Cycle or not?

Good evening Abdullah - I'll contribute an observation on the first one. Perhaps others who have been doing contract management and procurement for longer than me might have a different view, or say it more eloquently, but here goes....
Purchasing is a subset of procurement. It is the giving effect to a lot of the procurement work that you've done earlier (i.e. establishing what you want, identifying suppliers etc).
That said, I think that you can purchase without doing procurement, and in fact, I'd go so far as to say that you can even get the same outcome.
However, only by procurement can you demonstrate that you've got the right outcome. If you only purchase, and don't understand your needs, identify the market and consider the offerings against your needs, you can't demonstrate that you've got the best outcome for the business.
And this is where I think we as a group can demonstrate our worth to the business. We can show with procurement the outcomes that we've avoided (goods not matching requirements, getting better pricing outcomes, repetitional damage etc) by running a fair and robust process ensures that the business is better off.
On many occasions I've seen my team has moved someone from their initial fixed ideas into better outcomes by taking the time to show them what's possible and what good looks like. Do that enough times, and you have more and more allies in the business to encourage others to use your services.
Hi, Abdullah,
Check out this article in the IACCM Library, 'Procurement' and 'Purchasing' Are Different:
• 2019-06-14 17:45:20
Having looked at this topic, there is actually already a lot written on the question of the difference between purchasing and procurement. As they observe, for the typical person they are probably the same, but apparently 'the experts' in procurement know the difference! Though once you start reading, there is plenty of contradiction...
When it comes to Supply Management, it is yet another variant and clear as mud whether it is actually different from Procurement. Supply Chain Management is certainly a more holistic activity of which procurement is part, but that's about all you can really deduce.
The net is, these terms are used with a high degree of variability and tend to mean whatever anyone wants them to mean; the only common factor is that they are all associated with the act of buying!

Hi Abdullah
Years ago Procurement and Purchasing were often used interchangeability. These days they have very different meanings. Procurement refers to the end-to-end activities from strategic category management, through to the operational analytics of spend and performance, to the tactical buying and sourcing activities which can happen in-house or in shared services.
As the Procurement function has 'grown up'it has become far more strategic, so although the term Procurement refers to all the activities conducted by the function, it also implies more strategic perspectives. The scope is also overlapping with other related functions like Finance (Accounts Payable as part of the purchase to pay process) and supply chain (Supply Planning, product innovation and supplier performance management). The increasing focus on digital in Procurement is also seeing more collaboration with other functions for example, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and machine learning, process automation and contract management, and predictive analytics.
Purchasing is clearly the administrative activity of raising a purchase order, managing the goods/service receipt notice and approving to pay. More advanced companies use on-line catalogues to support this along with automated workflow routing and defined delegations of authority. Put simply, Purchasing includes the tactical purchase and approval activities to support buying.
When we speak about supply chain today, we tend to talk about a value chain. Some organizations are now including supply chain and Procurement in one organization given the overlaps, but predominantly they continue to be separate, but related functions.
Supply chain will include demand planning and forecasting, distribution planning, warehousing and logistics, manufacturing (which may also be a separate function), supply planning and often new product development.
Where Procurement gets involved most is in supply planning and supplier performance management, for instance, using contracts to enforce performance, and collaborating with supply chain and marketing for product and service innovation by tracking supply markets and innovations.
Conceptually, the Procurement function has shifted from managing costs to providing value. Using advanced analytics of COGS and SG&A data, digital tools and advanced supplier market research, the function is working far more collaboratively with other functions. As business cadence increases, functions are becoming more linked and lines between which function does what is blurring.
Hope this helps.

Wolf Gang, aka Max McElligott, is the latest in a long line of multi-instrumentalist pop artists. Yes, that means 'synths' and 'guitars' and everything including the kitchen sink. So far, so 2011. But in debut album Suego Faults, is there anything really to set Wolf Gang apart from the, er, pack?
It all starts off promisingly: opener 'Lions In Cages' is one of the most infectious things you'll hear all year. It's quietly insistent rather than filled with bombast, and quickly becomes one of those songs you listen to on repeat again and again and again until you go slightly insane. It's one of those - you know, the songs which Proper Pop Songwriters are always at great pains to point out are really difficult to write. It's also easily Suego Faults' best song, by quite a way.
The rest of the album veers between uptempo ditties ('Stay and Defend') and middling ballads ('Midnight Dancers', 'Suego Faults'). There are some moments coming close to the highs of 'Lions in Cages': for example, the deceptively simple, yet catchy as all get-out bassline of 'Where Are You Now' utterly drives the song. And 'The King and All Of His Men' has one of those "awooooohoooeeeeoooooh!" hooks that live and die by televised festival coverage. But over the course of a consistently alright album, there's not nearly enough high points like that to latch on to, either sonically or lyrically. And there are a number of slower tracks which just don't have much presence at all, closer 'Planets' being among the generally unmemorable ballads.
The difficulty with an artist like Wolf Gang coming along at a time like this is that, well, there are already a lot of male pop singer-songwriters who deal in melody, lyrical tropes, a gazillion instruments and vague electropop stylings. Enough to suggest that we might be at saturation point. I can describe Wolf Gang quite easily as sounding like a cross between MGMT, Patrick Wolf, Rufus Wainwright, Passion Pit and Starfucker. I could even trot out 'the K word' - 'Stay and Defend', with its pounding piano riff, has a distinct whiff of Hopes and Fears-era Keane about it. Whatever you think of any of those acts, describing a new artist should never come down solely to describing them as a hodge-podge of several other artists.
And that's really one of Suego Faults' two major flaws. McElligott's influences are broad and out there for all to see, and it's all generally quite likeable, but there's little sense of who the man himself actually is. That would be forgivable, though, if the songs themselves were more insistent, imposed themselves upon you more. Sadly, that's just not the case, and the album plods along more often than it soars. What you never, ever want from an album - no matter how consistent it is, or how sparkly or theatrical it is - is to find out that an album's highest point is its first song, and that's what's happened here. There's a lot to like in Suego Faults, but in the end, not a lot to love.

WindWord Communications
I am a web designer and technical writer, and I also do brochures, video editing, trade shows, and other marketing work -- but not logos. :-) I'm launching a new site to promote my business with a new business name.
I live in a tiny town on the Oregon Coast where it is extremely windy. I love the wind and wanted to do a play on "Windward" -- I decided on "WindWord" because of the writing/communications aspect of my work. I am very excited to see what designs can come of the use of these words together.
Most of my work is with hi-tech firms in the engineering field. However, I also work with very small businesses. I want something that will engender confidence, but not scare smaller customers away.
I would like the logo to be fresh, but also somewhat classic. (If those two things aren't jiving for you, then choose fresh and fun over classic.)
It will be used on a white background, but I would also like it to work on a black background, if possible.
I will also need a 1-color version for black/white printing.
I would like "Communications" to be downplayed in the logo (e.g., with smaller text), with the focus on WindWord.
Thank you!

Winter: A "Secret Season" in the South's Loftiest National Parks
The Southern Appalachians stretch a long arm of New England deep into Dixie. Down that spine of summits, the East's highest, snowfall can accumulate to astounding depths that defy stereotypes of the Sunny South.
When the snow closure signs go up on portions of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Skyline Drive inShenandoah National Park, and theGreat Smoky Mountains — cross-country skiers and snowshoers are often seen striding and stomping into a winter wonderland. As far south as North Carolina, lofty locations receive more than 100 inches of average annual snowfall—equal to Buffalo, New York. That kind of "accu" doesn't all come down in three-inch dustings.
Even an average Appalachian winter in North Carolina or Virginia yields opportunities to find a substantial base of snow and enticing Nordic ski and snowshoe conditions.
Here's a primer on the places where our national parks offer a "secret season" of winter recreation in a region more associated with sun than snow.
Both Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge Parkway straddle the eastern-most "front range" of the Appalachians. That can mean that most of the snow from the region's storms falls on more westerly ridges (West Virginia peaks can receive nearly 200 inches of snow!).
Nevertheless, when the snow strikes, Shenandoah is only an hour or so away from urban areas like Washington, D.C., and Richmond.
Skiing or snowshoeing in the highest part of the park requires driving the Skyline Drive. The Drive is often closed after heavy snow, but the park routinely plows the road.
"Safety will always be number one," says Chief Ranger Leslie Reynolds, "but we always want to open our roads as soon as safely possible."
When open, skiers and shoers head south from US 211 to the area of Big Meadows, a summer recreation and services area known for high elevation grassy fields.
The meadows are great for Nordic skiing, so is Big Meadows Campground and a wealth of nearby fire roads and level stretches of the Appalachian Trail.
Chief Reynolds notices people heading down "the fire road to Rapidan Camp," President Herbert Hoover's fly fishing retreat. And the scenic Limberlost Trail offers a great loop tour of about 2 miles, while Hawksbill, Shenandoah's highest summit (4,049 feet), can be tackled on a loop formed by fire roads and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. A stone trail shelter sits on its summit (no camping is permitted).
When the park is really dumped on and the Drive is closed, head to the Old Rag area. Public plowed roads reach the park's eastern boundary near adjacent small settlements of Nethers and Syria. The summertime loop of Old Rag's rocky Ridge Trail is immensely popular, but winter can be quiet. From the trailhead parking area, mountaineers and energetic snowshoers might head left up the Ridge Trail.
Skiers should consider touring the Weakley Hollow Fire Road, a long gradual climb into the valley between outlying Old Rag and the main ridge where Hawksbill crowns the park. For lunch, take a left to the Old Rag Shelter (also no camping). From there it's all downhill back to your car.
Peaks of Otter
The Parkway's best-kept-secret in Virginia is the Peaks of Otter. Virginia highway 43 crosses the Parkway between Bedford and Buchanan, actually running along the Parkway for five miles in a "staggered" crossing. That gives great access to some of the high road's most spectacular scenery.
Conical Sharp Top pierces the sky and Flat Top bulks beside, both towering above Abbott Lake. Sharp Top is a wonderful, strenuous winter hike of 3-miles round-trip. An easy 1-mile trail loops the lake, and a variety of other moderate trails make nice snowshoe walks or ski tours.
Peaks of Otter's appeal climaxes at Peaks of Otter Lodge. This is the only Parkway concession accommodation that is open in winter. It sits beside the lake with awesome views and effortless access to great trails in the snowiest weather. The Lodge has a nice restaurant, lounge and gift shop, too.
North Carolina High Country
The High Country corner of northwestern North Carolina is a hotbed of Nordic ski enthusiasm. The High Country Nordic Association is sponsoring its annual Tele-Fest January 21st at Beech Mountain Resort, the East's highest ski area and one of three downhill slopes in the area.
The college town of Boone and the resort towns of Blowing Rock and Banner Elk are the destinations. Granted, expert local skiers focus on the East's highest summits, Mount Mitchell and Roan Mountain, both well over 6,000 fee. But the Parkway has a wealth of ski options when the snow cooperates.
The Parkway is lower, generally 4,000 or so feet, but its easier paths attract beginners and advanced skiers.
As with Skyline Drive, the National Park Service routinely plows part of the Blowing Rock portion of the road. That offers access to the Price Lake Trail, a nearly 3-mile loop around the Parkway's largest lake.
Other trails are easy to reach from public roads, including the carriage roads at Moses Cone Park. Cozy tours lead through towering groves of snow-muffled white pines and up to open vistas of Grandfather Mountain on Rich Mountain and Green Knob.
The Tanawha Trail, part of North Carolina's Mountains-to-Sea Trail, leads across meadows with links to Grandfather Mountain, a rocky state park summit beside the Parkway that challenges even serious mountaineers.
A bit farther south, near the High Country town of Linville, the Roseboro Road crosses the Parkway permitting a tour of the Flat Rock Nature Trail, with views west to the Appalachian Trail.
Parts of the Parkway here are gated under snowfall and make great tours. A favorite is the tour out over the famous Linn Cove Viaduct span on Grandfather Mountain. When the Parkway is open to Mount Mitchell—admittedly a rarity, but worth the effort to call ahead (828-675-4611)—snowshoers and skiers have the memorable opportunity to ski and hike the East's highest summit (6,684 feet).
At times there's also great skiing and snowshoeing on the southernmost section of the road, in the area of the Shining Rock Wilderness south of Asheville, and from Soco Gap, closer to the Great Smokies. It's easy to assess road access—the Parkway's road conditions info line is always updated for those who want to drive on the road or locate gated sections for ski touring or snowshoeing. There's also a cross country ski report available online for the High Country area.
The Smokies might lie pretty far south—but no other mountains lie to the west to sap the snow from storms. The Smokies' ridge is so abrupt and massive—rising from 1,000 feet near Gatlinburg to nearly 7,000 feet—that the highest peaks can get hammered by big snow in even marginal conditions.
Snowstorms often interrupt travel across the park on US 441, the Newfound Gap Road, but the public highway is such a critical transportation link that plowing is routine.
That allows easy access to Clingmans Dome Road, one of the South's great skiing and snowshoeing sites. The Dome Road, which climbs seven miles from US 441 to the parking area for the park's highest peak, is closed and unplowed from December through the end of March.
Take that ski tour, and along the way, the Spruce Fir Nature Trail provides a neat half-mile side loop that makes a nice turn-around point for a nearly 6-mile tour or snowshoe from Newfound Gap. The tour to the top of Clingmans Dome requires a 15-mile round trip—but it's all downhill on the way back!
Of course, all the South needs is snow for these and other sites to offer great winter recreation. Luckily, even a moderate winter offers plenty of snow if you know when to go. Keep your eye on the weather and the South's classic mountain national parks are a resource straight out of the snowy North.

Timing System
As engine speeds increase, the performance of belts and chains decreases. Therefore many racing engines will have a gear train between the crank and cams. Each of the gears in the timing system should be supported by a bearing. These bearings are usually needle roller bearings or deep groove ball bearings. The aggressive operating conditions often require special bearing variants for robustness. Coatings can also allow a restriction of the oil flow to this part of the engine.

Eagles hire Niners exec Tom Gamble for front office
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Tom Gamble to be vice president of player personnel.
Gamble spent the previous eight seasons with the defending NFC-champion San Francisco 49ers">49ers, including the last two as director of player personnel. The move was announced Wednesday.
Gamble will work in both the college and pro personnel departments.
Gamble began his NFL career working for the Eagles in 1988 and stayed until 1994, serving as a college scouting administrator, area scout, contract negotiator, and director of pro scouting. Gamble worked for the New York Jets as a defensive assistant/quality control coach from 1995-96. He became a pro scout for the Baltimore Ravens in 1997 before joining the Indianapolis Colts as a college scout from 1998-2004.
His father, Harry Gamble, was the Eagles' president from 1986-95.

Pteridophytes of Wisconsin:
Ferns and Fern Allies
Introduction to the Keys
This site provides a key to all Wisconsin pteridophytes with photos and descriptions to help with their identification. If the key is successfully employed to identify an unknown plant, the reader is directed to a page providing photos of the species and some basic information regarding habitat and distribution. The reader can also go directly to a list of Wisconsin ferns and fern allies to get to the photo pages.
It may be tempting to identify unknown plants by comparing them to pictures of known species, but that is a very unreliable method. If you are serious about learning the identity of plants (i.e. if it is important that the answer you arrive at is correct), you must learn to use one of the many keys available for that purpose. Photos can provide insight into the various terms used in the keys, but individual plants are so variable that no picture can adequately represent any particular species.
One of the difficulties for beginners in learning to identify plants rests in a common desire for a single character that will distinguish a particular species. Because of the highly variable nature of plants, it is frequently necessary to consider several characters to make a reliable identification. That is why keys are essential. They group similar species together for careful comparison, and they can describe combinations of characters and a range of possibilities more accurately than is possible in a picture. The task of identifying unknown plants remains a challenge under any circumstances, however, and I have not yet encountered a key for any large group of organisms that can be used successfully without a fair amount of practice by the user.
The key is highly artificial, with the single goal of attempting to employ the most easily recognizeable characters possible, while remaining reliable. It is intended to help students learn the pteridophytes, but it should also serve readers with a background in botany as I have tried never to sacrifice accuracy for ease of use. As in all keys, this one relies heavily on the works of previous authors. In the case of some difficult groups of species the key is directly modeled after the treatments in the Flora of North America, Vol. 2, which has become the most widely used standard for the treatment of pteridophytes in North America and is highly recommended. Those considering the purchase of this publication may examine the contents on the Flora of North America web site or examine the full keys to the families of pteridophytes of North America in volume 2.
The following key includes all native pteridophytes known to occur in Wisconsin. Each page offers two alternatives. Select the choice which best suits the specimen, click on the numeral to the right and you will be presented with another page with another set of choices. This process continues until you reach an answer. Photos used within the key are examples to illustrate the terms and may not be a perfect match for your specimen, especially early in the key where any given step may lie along the path to many subsequent species.

5 Personal Things You Can Tell Just
They say you should never judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to people, covers are UGG Boots Outlet the s***. As we've discussed before, certain personality quirks and intimate details are totally given away by our appearance.
All you need to know is how to interpret them. As before, these are not 100 percent we're only dealing in probabilities. Still, it's weird to know that .
We're not talking about the obvious here, the way goths and metalheads deal in black boots, hippies have their sandals, and hipsters will tie their grandmother's old curtains around their feet if it gives them an excuse to look down on someone. According to science, the soled husks that cover a stranger's feet are probably revealing details about how they deal with other people.
We're calling it: date rapist.
A study by a pair of colleges found some peculiar trends in our choice of shoes, but not what you might think. Subjects couldn't deduce, say, political affiliation by looking at shoes, but could deduce a s*** ton of extremely personal information, including your potentially insecure, clingy behavior in close relationships. Some examples, brought to you by science:
Anxious, clingy people prefer new and well maintained footwear to UGGS Outlet ease their bundle of nerves.
People who wear practical shoes tend to be relatively agreeable.
Calm, collected folks seem to get a kick out of wearing shoes that look uncomfortable (maybe to express the roaring ball of mayhem and agony they're constantly hiding within?).
Aggressive people tend to wear ankle boots, which seems to have no inherent logic at all . until you realize that they're clearly subconsciously selecting their footwear for better kicking stuff angrily ergonomics.
"Oh yeah, that's a pair of Class 5 Coccyx Breakers."
If you're reading this and thinking, "Well, my shoes don't say anything deep about my personality, I just picked them because they were comfortable and cheap!" keep in mind that it's a certain personality type who thinks that way. That's the point no matter what logic you think you're following in your own head when you step into your local mall's Shoes 'N' S*** store, you're still following logic that makes sense to your personality type. Making that purchase reveals that type to the world.
4. If They're Eating Candy, They're Probably Nicer
Imagine a likeable person. Pay particular attention to the qualities that make people perceive her as "nice." You might describe her as helpful. Fun, definitely. Honest when it counts, malleable enough to take the punches while you run away from the MMA fighter you just drunkenly mooned. All that goes with the territory. Perhaps, if you're feeling sappy enough, you might even describe the person as "sweet."
Sweet. That's a funny word in this context, now that we come to think of it. There's nothing about nice people that makes them sweet, unless you go out of your way to caramelize them. So what started this association between "sweet" and "nice"? Their everyday behavior, apparently it looks like munching on candy can turn a person into a regular good Samaritan.
"Very well, cotton candy. I'll pack his chest wound with gauze, if you insist."
To be clear, we're not talking about how giving somebody a candy bar will put them in a better mood and thus make them more willing to do nice things (although one experiment did find that, it's also kind of obvious). No, they actually did five different studies (the abstract of which hilariously points out that nice people indeed rarely taste sweeter than others, thus gently alluding to another, far darker research project behind this one) and found that a general preference for candy means the person is also more likely to be agreeable and do good deeds, just because. They were just nicer people than the ones who, say, prefer potato chips instead of chocolate at snack time.
"These chips would go great with burning several men to death in an elevator."
And it gets weirder: Test subjects already knew that this would be the result. The subjects they surveyed anticipated that the candy loving subjects would be more selfless and agreeable than people who liked savory or salty snacks. The experiment was just confirming what people had already observed in their everyday lives, even though it makes no sense. So maybe the innate goodness that lies in the heart of mankind is actually diabetes.
3. Using Her Right Arm to Cradle a Baby Might Mean She's Depressed
Having a baby is supposed to be the happiest occasion of a woman's life, but 1 in 10 mothers suffer from postnatal depression. Maybe that's not so surprising it's a lot of stress, both mentally and physically, plus you have this little goblin thing shrieking while you're trying to sleep at night.
"Let's make a deal: Two hours of quiet, and I'll avoid doing anything that might end in a statewide manhunt."
So if you have a friend or family member with a newborn and you wonder how they're doing, you can either ask them or just see which hand they use to hold the baby. No, really.
Dig up some of your baby pictures. Which arm did your mom use to cradle you? Hell, just imagine holding a baby right now which arm would you employ? Chances are you'd use the left one. The vast majority of people do, regardless of their dominant hand. It's just one of those weird little bodily hiccups nearly all humans share.
"Every day, you teach me so many new things ."
In fact, it's so widespread that when scientists realized that not everyone was doing this, they started digging in . up until they actually identified it as a potential way to tell if the mother was suffering from depression. Stressed out and depressed mothers actually cradle their babies in their right arm a lot more often than healthy, happy moms. More than twice as often, in fact the ratio is 14 percent right hand bias of the healthy mothers, compared to 32 percent of the depressed ones.

I haven't blogged for a few months. Why not? My library has been going through growing pains and reorganizations for the last year or more. Despite several successes, some of the social web tools I've advocated these last several years have been very slow to get management's approval (or priority) amid all the other changes. Regrettably, that has forced my focus on other things.
I've been keeping up with my nonfiction book blog, though, and hope to post here regularly again once we resume using social tools in creative ways. If that takes too long, I'll broaden LibraryStream's focus. It's a big world out there … and the library must be in it.
