In today's globalized world, there is one new business area that has become more important than any other. It isn't the general and old techniques that you've learned in graduate school or the masters degrees. It isn't the usual marketing concepts or financial analysis that you have seen throughout the year either. This new school of thought for managing a company is widely known as supply chain management.
While in previous times it was markets and financial factors that most influenced the way business operated and gained their margins - today in a world where business can't afford not to be global, it is supply chain management and global logistics that lead the decision making processes.
In order to understand the importance of what is the supply chain and its management, we need to first understand what it really means. Supply chain management is a very wide concept that includes concepts such as inventories, warehousing, logistics, transportation, planning, order processing, and a fast, reliable and cheap network where your costs are in control.
The reason why managing your supply chain has become so much more important than in previous times is because companies these days produce their products all over the world and sell it even somewhere else. Perhaps the raw materials will be bought in one country, then the half product is produced somewhere else, and then the finished good is shipped elsewhere for selling. In each of these cases, you must sure to plan perfectly and wisely.
The disadvantages of a bad sourcing strategy can induce enormous pressure on your working capital and as well as making your customers very unhappy. In fact, a badly managed supply chain can cost your company millions of dollars and force your company into bankrupcy. This is of course more important for smaller suppliers who perhaps will lose all their business if they poorly supply their primary customer, and lose that business.
While the area of supply chain management is too long to cover in one post, it essentially boils down to planning and organizing everything from the moment you order your raw materials until the final end customer purchases the product. Everything along that chain, except for actually producing the product, is the responsibility of the supply chain organization. This is why global supply chains are becoming increasingly more difficult to manage, especially with all the uncertainty that is present in this field. Some things such as transportation failures, product rejections, customer change of plans can really cost you a hefty penny.
This field use to be considered a sixth sense or a form of art, but it has become much too important for that. Managing the supply chain is now a science that you need to learn, practice, and master if you want to stay alive and not be eaten up by competition cropping up from all sides of the earth.
I hope you enjoyed this introduction into supply chain management, and stay tuned as I will be covering the topic in more detail.

Southeast Asia And Your First Wedded Nights
It has become more and more common for people to enjoy their honeymoons in exotic countries: the better accessibility to these countries, as well as the focus on adventure and exploring has made certain countries, previously rarely visited during a honeymoon, hotspots for most couples looking for an active and memorable honeymoon. Asia largely fits the bill under this description, and even within this large continent, Southeast Asia has slowly but surely gained prominence as a honeymoon location for couples wanting to experience nature and relaxation with a dash of adventure. That being said, planning a honeymoon in Southeast Asia must be done carefully, or you risk ending up in unfavourable situations due to your own carelessness. Here are some useful tips to keep in mind:
- Always pack more money than you believe you will need: Southeast Asia, and even the more popular areas such as the luxury honeymoon resorts in Bali, tend to be cheaper than your rates in any of the developed countries of the Global North. As such, you will naturally spend less on food, travel or other necessities – but it is often in your best interests to have more money with you. Unexpected situations can always arise, but this is more because countries in Southeast Asia tend to enjoy a culture of food markets and the like – and you will easily find yourself digging into the food carts along the roads. Not to add, the souvenirs you can buy from these countries tend to be very unique and beautiful, and it always best to have more money on hand for these.
- Do not stick to the well-known locations only: the best luxury resorts in Bali and similar well-known cities of this sub-continent will naturally offer you a one-of-a-kind experience, but in Southeast Asia – just as in most other Asian locations – truly beautiful experiences can be made only when you take the lesser known paths. This is because many locations in these countries are yet to gain prominent attention – whether it is pristine beaches to bathe in or lush jungles to trek through. Sometimes, a local guide can show you more of the country than you will ever see, so do not hesitate to take detours along the way.
- Pack sandals – if there is one piece of golden advice that applies to Southeast Asia, it is to take sandals with you – easily removable ones that is. You will most likely visit the many temples and other holy sites that are present in almost every region of these countries, and the common etiquette that applies to these is that they expect you to visit these holy sites barefoot. Wearing sports shoes might be comfortable, but repeatedly taking them on and off is not, so sandals are often the better option if you are sightseeing the cities.

Lhasa, Tibet (China) -- Officials at Tibet's Potala Palace in Lhasa have rejected concerns that the 1,300-year-old palace is being hemmed in by ugly, modern Chinese buildings.
<< Critics say the Potala is being hemmed in by ugly buildings
Palace director Qiangba Gesang said the Chinese government was working to protect the former winter home of the Dalai Lamas and the surrounding area.
Unesco has expressed concern that development around the palace is spoiling the site's unique atmosphere.
The Potala Palace was placed on Unesco's World Heritage List in 1994.
Qiangba Gesang said this was not the first time Unesco has expressed concern.
He told the BBC that in 2002 Unesco received complaints that commercial development around the palace was ruining its character.
Unesco was also worried about the materials used to repair the wood and earth structure, the director said.
The government has since ruled that buildings around the Potala Palace cannot be more than 21m high.
Traditional Tibetan materials and craftsmanship were being used to restore the building, added Qiangba Gesang, who has worked at the palace for 19 years.
He said the central government allocated 170m yuan ($22m, £11m) in 2002 to fund this reconstruction work.
Surrounded by shops
Other measures have also been introduced to ensure the palace is not damaged by the increasing number of visitors coming to Tibet.
There have been 30% more tourists at the Potala Palace since a railway linking Lhasa with the rest of China opened in July last year.
Qiangba Gesang said only 2,300 tourists were now allowed into the palace each day, although there are no restrictions on the number of Tibetan visitors.
But despite his comments, the Potala has been surrounded by shops, offices and restaurants over recent years.
There is a shop selling handmade carpets right below the palace, which sees the greatest number of tourists in July and August.
Previously, the palace used to be completely separated from the old town of Lhasa.
Explaining this change, Qiangba Gesang said: "Commercialisation is a worldwide phenomenon. If there were no businesses then cities would not exist."
The Potala is just one of six world heritage sites in China that Unesco is worried about.
The others include Beijing's Forbidden City and the old town of Lijiang in southwest Yunnan Province.

«The issue is not to read or not a gossip magazine, but to read at all…».
In 2012, only 46% of Italians read at least one book in the whole year: 51.9% of women and 39.7% of men. A percentage that, although increased compared to 2011, when it stood at 45.3%, is very low in comparison to other European countries: for example, 61.4% in Spain, 70% in France and 82% in Germany.
To be noted that the Italian average of readers has never concerned half of the population and decreases if we take away the citizens who read fewer than three books in 12 months. This is what emerges from the "1st Report on the promotion of reading in Italy", published by the "Book Forum" ("Forum del libro"), on behalf of the Department for Information and Publishing of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
One Italian out of two does not read at all. And can we consider a "reader" a person that reads just one book per year?
Also on the newspapers' front the news are not good at all. 52% of the Italians say that they read a newspaper once a week, while just 36% read them five times a week. Web plays a big role, but does not really change the socio-economic level and behavior of the readers.
At least, technology seems to be of some help. Italians spent € 131 million in 2011 to buy an e-book reader (16 million in 2010) and 472 million (vs 21 million) for tablets, while the book title grew to 31,416 at the half of 2012 (from 1,619 in 2009).

Evangelism the Narrow Way. Some thoughts on evangelism. By Pastor Dan Domke – November 2001. New Testament Evangelism. "And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ" (Acts 5:42).

Some thoughts on evangelism.
By Pastor Dan Domke – November 2001
"And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ"
(Acts 5:42)
"If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever."
"Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other."
We should follow the New Testament pattern in our work of Evangelism
Are we in the center of this work today?
"And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ"
Antecedent of "they" is the apostles. cf. verse 29, 34.
Nothing systematic, just sharing the gospel wherever they went.
"…At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles."
"Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word."
Again, spontaneous, as men and women, impelled by a sure knowledge of Jesus resurrection shared the gospel with the lost.
"'If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?' 18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, 'Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.'"
Holy Spirit led Peter to Cornelius house to preach to the Gentiles.
"From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. 27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles."
Paul and Barnabas reported to the church in Antioch their work.
"Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world."
"And most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear."
The brethren were emboldened by the example of Paul
"…To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints."
The brothers were emboldened by the Work of God.
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now."
They sent Epaphroditus to him with their "gift", to minister to his needs.
"Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel."
No man who gives himself over to the preaching of God's word should be made to feel ashamed to "live from the gospel."
Note: Support does not equal "employer/employee" as some seem to think.
"I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. 9 And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself."
Paul received support directly from churches.

Charlize Theron shaves her head for Mad Max
The Oscar winner showed off her new buzz cut in Hollywood on Monday (11Jun12).
She'll portray Furiosa in Mad Max 4: Fury Road, which is set to start shooting this summer (12) after a two-year delay.
Theron has been attached to the project since 2009 - and she can't wait to team up with Tom Hardy on the set: "It's been three years. It's time to skin this cat already!"
She tells Us Weekly magazine, "The original Mad Max created such a vivid world, so to go back and re-imagine it and re-play in that sandbox sounds like fun to me. Its a really challenging piece of material... I feel very lucky."

6 WVC Invited Speakers Keynote 1 Markerless augmented reality Antonio Lopes Apolinário Jr. Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil Augmented reality applications mixed real and synthetic data in a common frame based on some referencial marker of the real scene. Traditionally, this reference marker was a synthetic pattern included in the scene. This strategy makes easy the registration process but is not feasible to all applications. Nowadays it is common to define these markers as elements in the scene, what we call marker less augmented reality. Although reference points still are needed they can be part of the real scene. This approach can use techniques based on image processing or in the geometric reconstruction of the scene (or part of it). In this lecture we will present our current work in markerless augmented reality based on geometric registration and discuss an application of these techniques in medicine. Dr. Antonio L. Apolinário Jr. received the Doctor in Science degree from COPPE/UFRJ. He is currently a Professor in the Technology Department of State University of Feira de Santana - Bahia, and in the Multi-institutional Doctorate Program on Computer Science (UFBA/UEFS/UNIFACS). His research areas are: Computer Graphics, Visualization, Computer Animation, Augmented Reality, GPU programming and Computer Games. 6
7 Keynote 2 Distance Transformation: algorithms and aplications Francisco de Assis Zampirolli Federal University of ABC, Brazil The Distance Transform is one of the classical operators in image processing, and can be used in Pattern Recognition and Data Mining, and there is currently a great demand for efficient parallel implementations on graphics cards, known as GPU. Distance transform is a classical transformations in Mathematical Morphology and its algorithms that can be written using a fundamental morphological operator. The performance of the algorithms is an important research problem. To improve them, some algebraic properties like indempontence and decomposition of structuring functions needs to be used. Morphological operators can be coded in parallel, sequential, or propagation sweeping patterns. There are also sweeping patterns Directional and Multidimensional. In this second algorithm the distance transform can be composed by several one dimensional erosions. The structuring functions used in the erosion belongs to a family of four directional one-dimensional two-point structuring functions. The erosion algorithm is based on a propagation scheme very simple to code and understand, yet being one of the fastest euclidean distance transform algorithms in the literature. Some of these sweeping patterns, known as brute-force, can be implemented in GPU, and even then present excellent results, comparable to the best CPU algorithms, which might contribute to future applications in image processing. Dr. Francisco de Assis Zampirolli is a Professor in the Center of Mathematical, Computer and Cognition at the Federal University of ABC, Brazil. He received his BSs degrees in Mathematics from the Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil in 1992, and MSc in Applied Mathematics from the University of São Paulo, Brazil in 1997, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Campinas, Brazil in Has experience in the area of Computer Science, with emphasis on Image Processing, acting on the following subjects:mathematical morphology, computer vision, automatic code generation and documents, GPU, and mobile devices. 7
8 Keynote 3 Smart Surveillance at Large Scale William Robson Schwartz Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil Computer Vision problems applied to surveillance have been studied for several years aiming at finding accurate and efficient solutions, required to allow the execution of surveillance systems in real environments. The main goal of such systems is to analyze the scene focusing on the detection and recognition of suspicious activities performed by humans in the scene, so that the security personnel can pay closer attention to these preselected activities. Several challenges are present on surveillance, among them are the large amount of data that need to be processed due to the large number of cameras capturing data; low quality of the acquired data due to the small size of the objects in the videos; and the strong relationship between the problems in this domain, in which the usage of a poor solution to solve one problem might affect the solution of other problems. To accomplish that, several problems have to be solved first, for instance background subtraction, person detection, tracking and re-identification, face recognition, and action recognition. Even though each of these problems has been researched in the past decades, they are hardly considered in a sequence, each one is usually solved individually, preventing them from being used in real surveillance systems. This talk will discuss the main concepts and problems related to smart surveillance and present the Smart Surveillance Framework, a framework developed to help researchers working on the surveillance domain. Dr. William Robson Schwartz is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He received his BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Science from the Federal University of Parana, Curitiba, Brazil in 2003 and 2005, respectively. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, USA in Then, he spent one year in the Institute of Computing at the University of Campinas as a Postdoctoral researcher. He is a CNPq researcher PQ2. His research interests include Computer Vision, Surveillance, Forensics, and Biometrics, with focus on problems of face spoofing and recognition, human detection, and person re-identification. He has served as a Program Committee member for conferences such as IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG), IEEE Workshop on the Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) and Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV). He coordinates several research projects sponsored by the Brazilian Ministry of Sports and funding agencies such as CNPq and FAPEMIG, focusing mainly on large scale surveillance. 8
9 Keynote 4 - Videoconference Biometric Recognition: Some Challenges in Forensics Anil K. Jain Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA If you are like many people, navigating the complexities of everyday life depends on an array of cards and passwords that confirm your identity. But lose a card, and your ATM will refuse to give you money. Forget a password, and your own computer may balk at your command. Allow your card or passwords to fall into the wrong hands, and what were intended to be security measures can become the tools of fraud or identity theft. Biometrics the automated recognition of people via distinctive anatomical and behavioral traits has the potential to overcome many of these problems. Biometrics is not a new idea. Pioneering work by several British scholars, including Fauld, Galton and Henry in the late 19th century established that fingerprints exhibit a unique pattern that persists over time. This set the stage for the development of Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems that are now used by law enforcement agencies worldwide. The success of fingerprints in law enforcement coupled with growing concerns related to homeland security, financial fraud and identity theft has generated renewed interest in research and development in biometrics. It is, therefore, not surprising to see biometrics-based authentication permeating our society (laptops and mobile phones, border crossing, civil registration, and access to secure facilities). Despite these successful deployments, there are challenges related to biometric data acquisition, image quality, robust matching, system security and user privacy. This talk will introduce four challenging problems of particular interest in law enforcement and forensics: (i) face sketch to photo matching, (ii) latent fingerprint matching, (iii) fingerprint obfuscation and (iv) scars, marks & tattoos (SMT). 9

Greenbelt's First Family
September 30, October 1
Who was the first family in Greenbelt? Cathy Knepper's book "Greenbelt, Maryland: A Living Legacy of the New Deal" contains this intriguing sentence on page 209: "At the 1988 Labor Day festival… celebrants also unveiled a plaque marking the first home occupied in Greenbelt, 1G Gardenway, whose residents moved in on September 30, 1937." On Sunday, September 30, 2012, exactly 75 years after the first residents moved into Greenbelt, I went to 1G Gardenway to check out the plaque.

Check out this amazing dashcam footage to see a Tesla car apparently predicting a car crash just seconds before it happened. Realizing that an accident was about to occur on the A2 highway in the Netherlands, the car's autopilot feature, which assists the car to sense what's up ahead by utilizing safe-driving-pattern monitoring, triggered the alarm and the emergency braking system moments before the crash unfolded. Despite the high-speed collision however, Hans Noordsij, who recently shared the video on Twitter, confirmed that nobody was serious hurt in the crash.
Tesla is expected to roll out its Enhanced Autopilot before the end of the year. Along with improved accident-avoidance technology, the Autopilot will also feature self-parking and automatic lane-changing capabilities. "The foundation is laid for cars to be fully autonomous at a safety level we believe to be at least twice that of a person, maybe better," said Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla.

it's time for a marketing breakdown of this week's opponent of the Beloved Spartans of Michigan State.
Michigan State at Illinois
Opponent's Marketing Overview:
- today is the 99th homecoming in champaign, and illinois was one of the first universities to hold homecoming. marketingwise, homecoming is now recognized as an early form of CRM.
- illinois' team nickname is the fighting illini, which was chosen to either honor or insult the native americans who inhabited illinois before the rest of us came and built all the roads and buildings and whatnot.
- illinois' controversial mascot was Chief Illiniwek, who was retired from action in 2008. the last student to portray the chief was a native american named Dan Maloney.
- the illini's colors of orange and blue inspired the chicago bears to choose the same colors when their team formed.
- few people know that when properly pronounced, the name "illinois" rhymes with "stella artois." according to FTC's new guidlines, i must disclose that stella artois ("the beer for illinois") is indeed an official sponsor of this blog. however, it should be pointed out i was within these regulations way back in february, as this post clearly states.
- the March of the Illini, one of the many songs illinois plays, is so infectious, every time i hear it, i want to go hunt buffalo with kevin costner.
- lyrically, one of the illini's 3 or 4 fight song is one of the most defensive in the land. note that half the song is dedicated to other colleges' fight songs. click here to see.
Prediction: the illini are a mixed bag, branding-wise. but they're still trying to shake off the Chief controversy, so we're getting them while they're down. michigan state by 12.
the sixth consecutive first in a series of one
1 comment:
excellent post. my illini wife appreciated the thorough write up.

Elisabeth Murdoch, the 42-year-old daughter of Rupert Murdoch, will not be joining the board of her father's News Corporation conglomerate as expected, the company has said.
Miss Murdoch suggested to the company's directors that it would be "inappropriate" for her to join the board, News Corp said in a statement.
She was expected to join the board after it bought Shine Group, the television production company she ran and which produces such programmes as MasterChef and Outcasts, in a deal worth £415 million earlier in the year.
At the time, Rupert Murdoch said: "I expect Liz Murdoch to join the board of News Corporation on completion of this transaction."
However, Viet Dinh, the chariman of News Corp's nominating and corporate governance committee of the News Corporation board of directors, has now said that Miss Murdoch "suggested to the independent directors some weeks ago that she felt it would be inappropriate to include her nomination to the board of News Corp".
The statement went on: "The independent directors agreed that the previously planned nomination should be delayed.
"Both Elisabeth and the board hope this decision reaffirms that News Corp aspires to the highest standards of corporate governance and will continue to act in the best interests of all stakeholders, be they shareholders, employees or the billions of consumers who News Corp content informs, entertains and sometimes provoke every year."

New Delhi: India's current account deficit is likely to narrow to 0.7 percent of the GDP in fiscal 2016 from 1.3 percent in FY15 largely owing to low commodity prices, a Nomura report said Wednesday.
According to the Japanese financial services major, the current account deficit is likely to narrow despite sluggish export volumes and rising import volumes.
"For FY16, we expect the current account deficit to narrow to 0.7 percent of GDP from 1.3 percent in FY15 as low commodity prices offset the impact of higher core imports and sluggish exports," Nomura said in a research note.
Meanwhile, falling for the 15th month in a row, exports dipped 5.66 percent in February to USD 20.73 billion, while, imports declined 5.03 per cent to USD 27.28 billion last month.
The trade deficit - difference between imports and exports - USD 6.54 billion in February this year compared with USD 6.74 billion in February last year.
The global brokerage firm said that it indicates recovery in the volume front as export volumes rose 7.7 percent year-on-year in February after falling by an average of 2.8 percent in the past six months.
"Overall, trade data suggest that both export and import volumes have picked up, with February's contraction in both exports and imports largely price-driven," Nomura said.
Meanwhile, after a sharp rise in January, gold imports in February declined 29.49 percent to USD 1.39 billion, which is expected to keep a lid on the country's current account deficit (CAD).
India is the one of the largest importers of gold in the world and the imports mainly cater to the demand of jewellery industry.
In July-September of the current fiscal, CAD rose to USD 8.2 billion, or 1.6 percent of GDP, from 1.2 percent, or USD 6.1 billion in the April-June quarter.

Patrick Fugit Joins Indie 'Queen of Earth' (Exclusive)
Elisabeth Moss and Katherine Waterston are starring
Patrick Fugit is joining Elisabeth Moss and Katherine Waterston in indie Queen of Earth.
Alex Ross Perry is directing the psychological thriller, which reunites him with his Listen Up Philip star Moss. The story centers on two childhood friends who meet up for a relaxing weekend at a beach house. But they soon become aware of how disconnected from each other they are as adults, allowing their suspicions to bleed into reality.
Fugit will play a local man who is friends with one of the women and comes by to spend time with her. But her friend is not happy about having a male presence on their girls' trip.
Drinking Buddies director-writer-producer Joe Swanberg is producing Queen of Earth with Perry and Adam Piotrowicz. The film is currently shooting in New York.
Fugit, who memorably starred in Almost Famous, will next be seen in David Fincher's hotly anticipated adaptation Gone Girl, which hits theaters on Oct. 3. Other recent projects include Thanks for Sharing and We Bought a Zoo. He's repped by Gersh and Levin/Brown Management.
