A conversation with Terry Anderson: A caricaturist, who produces quickfire drawings as live entertainment
The New Normal Magazine spoke to Terry Anderson to gain an insight into his experience as a cartoonist and caricaturist in Scotland. His latest project, "10 years of Fizzers", held at Glasgow's People's Palace, is a collaborative effort with five other artists of the Scottish Cartoon Art studio.
Caricatures are everywhere. Displayed ostentatiously in the most stylish of exhibitions, or hidden within the depths of the bulkiest of newspapers, they are humorous, artistic depictions that serve a significant cultural purpose.
The caricature is a popular form of art and entertainment, distorting and ludicrously exaggerating the peculiarities and defects of people or things. We can find caricaturists in public spaces, at events and gatherings, as well as seeing their lovingly crafted works, featured in mainstream print and online media.
Terry Anderson is a professional cartoonist and caricaturist, who lives in Glasgow. He has a wealth of experience through his art, including the production of cartoons and caricatures, performing live entertainment at events, and developing eye-catching visuals for business and organisations.
For many years, Terry has caricatured famous faces from the world of music, film, TV, sport, and, more recently, politicians have become a more prominent source of inspiration.
He has always believed that humour in caricatures is purely based on the observation and the exaggeration of human figures.
Born in Paisley, Anderson, who studied at The Kubert School for cartoonists in New Jersey, began his career by creating illustrations for The Glasgow Herald, while he was still at school.
Then, as a founding member of the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio, he collaborated with his team (Chris Sommerville, Brian Flynn, Derek Gray, Tommy Sommerville) on more complex and innovative projects and exhibitions, such as The Auld Acquaintance, a referendum-themed exhibition, and Fizzers, his latest exhibition at the People's Palace and Winter Gardens.
This features artistic makeovers of numerous celebrities, while providing curious visitors with an insight to the artists, the artistic process, and the defining criteria of the subject of a caricature.
He was the former president of theScottish Artists Union, and today he is a board member ofCartoonists Rights Network International and a member of theProfessional Cartoonists' Organisationin the UK.
Anderson has been extremely passionate about drawings since he was a child, and he's open in sharing his thoughts and feelings about the underlying message of his art.
While he enjoys caricatures and cartoons as a hobby, he also approaches them as a job. His passion and his work are inextricably linked together.
Anderson started our chat by reflecting on what ignited his passion.
When I was a child, around the age of eight, I started to say that I wished to become a cartoonist. I've always loved caricatures and cartoons, and I believe they have an enduring capability of crossing language and literary barriers.
When did you begin to realise that you could have an artistic vocation?
Everything started from my childhood, and it was so instinctive. When you are around seven or eight years old, perhaps your drawings are pinned on in the refrigerator door by your parents, but that didn't happen for me. So, I continued to draw, and, amongst other children, I was known as "Terry, the one who's good at drawing cartoons".
I started to earn money by selling drawings of Ninja Turtles to other children. From that moment of my life, I started to be stubborn about my talent. Sometimes I was discouraged by teachers, who thought that being a cartoonist was not worthwhile. But my family's support was fundamental, especially when I went abroad to study at a school for cartoonists in New Jersey. Nearly twenty years later, I met the people who I'm still working with, my colleagues at the Scottish Art Studio.
What are the most rewarding things about your business?
Being in charge of yourself – being your own boss is one of the chief attractions for what we do. Doing something you're passionate about is a privilege and a terrific opportunity. Personally, I wouldn't have met my wife if I wasn't a cartoonist, so I owe a lot in my life to it. I've also been lucky to have a great support network from people around me.
Which challenges, if any, have you faced?
One of the ongoing challenges is getting the general public to think about cartooning in a different way, than their first instinct. Cartoons often tend to be dismissed, or seen as something that's not worthy of any serious consideration.
Getting started is the biggest challenge, as that takes time. Working as a part of a team is generally better and more rewarding, but it also means taking time to come to a compromise.
For instance, an exhibition like Fizzers in a gallery setting at the People's Palace, tends to elevate caricatures and cartoons a bit, because Scottish people in particular, who have encountered caricaturing before, could think of it as something that's foreign, or coming from Italy, which goes back to its renaissance origins.
Moreover, like any self-employed person, there are some difficulties. This business is not the most stable or predictable way of making a living, so you don't necessarily know how much money you're going to have from one month to the next. You face some issues as a self-employed person, for instance, forward-planning, or booking holidays, etc.
Do you feel your freedom of expression is limited, particularly in light of events such as Charlie Hebdo attack?
Not in any serious way. There's censorship that's imposed upon you from outside, then there's self-censorship, but not a fear of judgement. For example, after Charlie Hebdo, there was the issue of portraying the prophet Mohammed in cartoons. I'm part of an organisation that produced a book in the year after the attack; I wanted to talk about self-censorship and the issues that the incident brought to the fore. Early on, the editors said that they would not welcome cartoons or portrayals of the prophet Mohammed. I think that was the right call, simply because it's a cliché, and a way of causing controversy for its own sake, rather than making a point.
A good example of that was the competition held in Texas, where there was a "Let's all draw the prophet Mohammed" contest. This was publicly advertised and, for the most part, it was amateur participants rather than professional cartoonists. Come the day of the event, two young men arrived at the scene with assault weapons, and were almost immediately shot dead by the police.
The organisers of that event got what they wanted. They could say that the narrative of expression was being threatened by extremists, whereas in actuality, they had caused the whole incident and virtually planned it to the letter. It goes back to the adage: "Don't shout fire in a crowded theatre."
What is the relationship between politicians and cartoons in Britain?
We're lucky in Britain. When politicians don't star in cartoons, there's probably something that they're doing wrong. They're not making a particular impression amongst a wider audience. When they're not in cartoons, it means that their career isn't going very well. A cartoonist wouldn't waste their time on cartooning a politician, that the reader wouldn't be able to recognise. In a roundabout way, it's a compliment for a British politician to be caricatured.
How do you select a person of interest and convert them into a cartoon or caricature?
We try to pick people who are in the public eye, who are already in television, or in newspapers. We can't do people, who don't have good reference and we tend to avoid people whose names or achievements are not well known. There are not many scientists, poets, or even radio broadcasters cartooned, because even if those people might have well-known names, their faces may not be. If you walked past them in the street, you wouldn't recognise them.
Our represented characters should have a face, that we think people could have some fun with. The people we try to avoid are called "potatoes". Potatoes are people who have indistinct and unremarkable faces and they tend to be little, bald men, who look like potatoes. People tend to assume that a caricature represents somebody who is ugly, but that's not the case, since beautiful people are quite easy to caricature.
After that, it's about getting photographs or a good reference of a person. Sometimes videos are even better, because you can see the face in motion, coupled with their emotional expression.
Then it's a case of exaggeration, and that will depend upon the artist, their style, and their technique within their own group.
On one extreme, you've got Chris Sommerville, whose cartoons are very graphic and simple. His technique is almost like a distillation, by getting rid of the parts that are not essential and retaining the most important bits. On the other hand, you have an artist like Derek Gray, who comes from a fine art background. He studied at a famous art school in Aberdeen, so his techniques are more painterly and more illustrative.
Which is the main objective in spotting famous people faces?
What I would hope is that, if you look at a caricature that I've drawn, you wouldn't necessarily know what I think of that person. You might find it funny, or laugh at it, but if you like this person, you might think that I've been cruel.
However, if the audience doesn't like who I've caricatured, then they may say that I haven't been hard enough on them. There is a sort of interpretation, that I leave to the audience.
Even after 18 years of our collaboration, there are some people, especially men, who perceive caricature as an insult. Caricature isn't a criticism, it's humorous and light-hearted. We pick peopl,e who we think are in the frame of mind to be caricatured. The closest we've come to a complaint was from Ian Rankin, the crime writer, who created the Rebus crime novels. "You're always miserable in photographs. Show me a photograph of you smiling, and I will be happy to draw you that way".
Do you believe images can be more communicative than words?
I do. Images are capable of crossing literary and language barriers, and people can talk through cartoons about nationhood and democracy, about the act of voting and participating in democracy. I also believe drawing a caricature is an effective way in getting to know and understand other people. It can provoke conversation, and the artist is usually welcomed into the personal space of the sitter. Thinking about caricatures enables different interpretations on the part of the people, who come to see the works.
What is the meaning of Fizzers, the title of your last exhibition?
Fizzers is our word for caricatures. We came up with Fizzers as a nod to our friends in France, as we were inspired for the French word for faces, "visage". "Visage" in old English becomes fizzog, which becomes fizzer, so it's a Glaswegian slang word for face.
At that exhibition, visitors of all ages can delight in the drawings of well-known Fizzers from across the world.
Could you tell us something about the exhibition, particularly for those who haven't visited?
The exhibition was a retrospective of the last decade of our Fizzers collection. It is our trademark collection of caricatures of well-known people from all different walks of life, including movie stars and musicians, sporting heroes and TV personalities.
It's the work of five artists from the Scottish Cartoon Art studio, so myself, Chris Sommervile, Brian Flynn, Derek Gray, and Tommy Sommerville.
It's our second exhibition in the People's Palace and there are over 120 international icons and Scottish celebrities captured in caricature. We tie in our exhibition with whatever is happening in the news. For example, when the European Championships were on last year, we showcased the players who featured in the competition. To coincide with Euro 2016 Championship, a squad of famous football fizzers, fit to rival any fantasy dream team, were on display alongside caricatures of world-class Scottish sportspeople, including Andy Murray, Liz McColgan and David Wilkie.
The main section includes Glaswegian faces and people from local history, film, TV, entertainment, musicians, and sport. There is a small politics section, smaller than I wanted it to be, and we call them "VIPs" rather than "politicians".
In addition, there are also games, like a "Guess Who?"-style game, with the caricature images drawn and some interactive digital labels.
Amongst my favourite caricatures are Donald Trump and Daniel Craig. The Donald Trump caricature acquired some meaning that it didn't formerly have when it was part of the gallery. He was initially going to be included in the entertainment section, but two years later, he assumes a very different position in the world. Chris's drawing of Daniel Craig, James Bond, is the one that often gets misinterpreted.When I look at it, it couldn't be anyone else but Daniel Craig.
What are your plans for the future?
There's not much I can say about any future plans at the moment. We are currently working on a small book project, but I'm not at liberty to say what it's about, apart from the fact it's caricature-based, obviously.
This year will be our 18th year anniversary, and I would like to think that there will be another exhibition in our 20th anniversary year. We are always trying to have more of a European approach to caricature, as the traditional approach comes to us directly from the renaissance. I can't go into details, because nothing is confirmed yet, but keep your eyes peeled!
Do you have any advice for people who want to develop a creative business?
I think the most common mistake I see is when younger people rely too much on the existing intellectual property in popular culture.
That might seem odd from a caricaturist, since I draw people in popular culture, but caricatures are dependent on my interpretation of those people.
It's very easy on social media to get a lot of 'likes' or retweets, for example, doing a silly little Star Wars cartoon once the films are out. However, everyone is doing that, and it's denying you the opportunity to come up with your own idea or exposing a vulnerability, which could ultimately give you the courage to be exposed.
It means more when you develop innovative ideas and make them your own 'contribution', rather than constantly recycling the same old ideas.
I would encourage people to be brave, experimental and not afraid to put forward their ideas and insights. Their creation matters, and to embrace social media is a way of promoting themselves and reaching out to people.
Finally, are you happy to be a caricaturist based in Scotland?
I'm happy to be Scottish and I love Scotland, but I have to say that when we travel abroad, particularly France, there is a level of respect that is afforded to cartoonists and caricaturists, that you don't necessarily get over here.
I agree with the words of my colleague Tommy Sommerville, when he said: "I don't mind saying that I feel like I was born in the wrong country". Caricature tends to be misunderstood in Scotland. I was amazed at the difference in France, with the quality of the work we saw there and the respect and affection shown to cartoonists, most of all because a caricature is not seen as an insult.
And I always remember I would get sort of sad, towards the end of a trip to France. I'd tell my colleagues that my source of sadness was realising that I was born in the wrong country. I should have been French!
By definition, caricatures are bold and humorous work, so visitors should not expect a straight-laced gallery show.
Studio Co- coordinator, Terry Anderson, 10 years of Fizzers at the People's Palace.

Published at Tuesday, August 06th, 2019 - 03:26:03 AM. Patio. By Hector Doisneau.
Table and chairs are crucial to a patio. It is a place to sit with the rest of the family and have a great meal outside. Some people prefer swings. Family members can sit and read on the swings or just sit down to have a chat. A bench on the other hand is suitable for smaller patios or for those who do dislike a crammed space. The purpose of a patio is for relaxing so having too many furniture in it, you will end up feeling stressed.
Different sets of patio are available which are constructed with materials such as wicker, wrought iron, teak wood and aluminium. You have to select the one, which you consider as the best and the most comfortable, in your opinion. At the same time, the patio you select should be subject to less maintenance as you are not supposed to spend much on this aspect. In general patios, made of wicker material, require little maintenance.

Kirin said Mummy gives him Year 8 Maths. He's in Year 3, the little genius.
"I believe it," I replied. She hasn't mentioned it to me. I wouldn't understand that sort of thing, the special algebra that flows between them.
It was Eid time again. Kirin showed me his presents. There's always plenty of those. In religion, as in the mysteries of Math, Mummy is never sparing. This year, he got a cell phone and a watch.
"I don't need to ask you the time anymore," he yawned. "I've got two things to show me."
In case he doesn't get it the first time, I thought. It wasn't fair on Mummy. She probably didn't mean it that way. He also had new pyjamas, but they made him hot. She didn't mean that, either. He hadn't slept well. He said he'd told Mummy, but she hadn't believed him.
He'd had a haircut, too. I thought: That's typical Mummy. She gives with one hand and takes with the other. I'm a bit anti-Mummy at the moment.
"Wouldn't you like long, golden hair?" I asked, in my most unctuous voice.
"I don't believe you."
There was homework for school. He had to do a comprehension about Arthur and the sword in the stone. The first question ran: 'What time of year is it, and how do you know?' I thought it was too easy. Worse than that, it was boring. They could have asked something else, surely; a more evocative question. For example: 'How do you think he felt when the sword came out? Like a king?' I didn't wait for Kirin. I answered for him: "It says it was freezing, and it's not freezing in summer, you idiot."
It just came out, like a prompt blade. Kirin bolted. He got as far as the corridor, where his child-minder caught him, and sent him back.
"What happened?" I asked. He was hurt, disbelieving.
"You called me an idiot."
"No, I didn't. I was talking to the person who wrote the question. It's too easy. You're too clever. I never call my pupils idiots, even if they are. Only an idiot would think I called him an idiot."
He looked at me. There's one thing about Kirin. He has a sense of humour. He gets over things quickly, too. He doesn't sulk, like me. I asked him to read the rest of the passage aloud. He reached the part where Arthur does his bit.
"The sword came out," Kirin read, "like a knife through butter."
"I knew it!" I called out. "I thought of the same image, 'like a knife through butter,' just before you read it."
"But you didn't say so."
I regarded him.
"You're very sceptical" – I pointed to his dictionary – "for a child." One of his dictionaries. "Actually, they should have said butter at room temperature. Chilled wouldn't work."
"Or melted."
"You mean they should have said it, or it wouldn't work?"
It wasn't revenge. I really wasn't sure what he meant. When he didn't answer, I went on.
"You're right, I think. If the butter was melted, it wouldn't work either. The knife would be on it, not inside it, and you could just pick it up. But why didn't they say 'like a knife through butter at room temperature?'"
He said he wasn't sure.
"It sounds ugly. It spoils the rhythm, and you don't need to say it. People know what you mean. That's ugly as well, when you explain too much, like your old tutor."
Kirin opened his mouth, but I got in first again.
"I know. I'm ugly too."

Interview with the Afterfall lead designer
Interview - posted by JarlFrank on Wed 9 January 2008, 20:52:27Tags: Afterfall; Intoxicate Interactive
Hello, my name is Maciej Prósiński. On internet fora I go under the nick 'Augustus'. I am the Lead Designer of the Afterfall project. This project has the ambition to rejuvenate the computer role-playing games genre, by both innovation and a return to unjustly abandoned excellent classical solutions.
What will be the focus of the game? A strong story with an interesting main quest, or a more free-roaming game with lots of different side quests?
The top priority is of course the plot, however, its structure is unlike the established standards. On the one hand, we have a rich story put in a repeatedly branching main quest with multiple endings. On the other hand, there are dozens of side-quests scattered throughout the game world, the most important of which are career quest chains in various organizations and extensive major quests regarding the most important events and processes happening in the game. An innovation in this area are bypasses, thanks to which while traveling, exploring and performing tasks, you may find new approaches to major quests, careers, or even the main plot.
Let me give an example which has been already used to illustrate this idea: you have a quest requiring you to infiltrate the structures of one of Warsaw's gangs. The employer will usually suggest 2 or 3 methods of achieving that. However, if at some point the hero becomes the champion of the Warsaw combat arena, the boss of that gang will come to him on his own, with a proposition of membership and high status. That is going to create a shortcut, bypassing a dozen or so tasks that you would otherwise have to perform for the group before you got close enough to the boss. Discovering all of them will be very difficult even with several passings of the game. Thanks to this method, the more important a quest, the more ways there will be to complete it, both obvious ones and ones scattered across the world as bypasses.
I think a relevant, though still a bit distant analogy is a certain moment in the plot of Baldur's Gate 2, when you had to get money for a sea voyage, but at the same time no one imposed a method to reaching that goal. The player had to explore the world and perform quests in order to collect the necessary funds. In Afterfall, many such moments are intertwined with periods of almost unbounded freedom, and short times when the player is swept away by the unfolding events.
The second priority is our system, which we intend to develop with time and employ not only with add-ons and a sequel to the game, but also with some of our later productions.
Will there be multiple solutions for quests, and different outcomes depending on your choices? If yes, to what extent? Do you have any example of a quest?
Quests will have many solutions, most of which will only be available to a player character with specific skills. Thanks to the plot bypasses you will often come upon completely alternative solutions, for example, to convince someone to help you, you will use acquaintance with some important characters. It is worth to mention that certain choices in performing a quest will bear various, sometimes long-term consequences. Some of the suggested paths may also prove to be dead-ends.
As for the endings, we have adapted for ourselves the brilliant, but for an unknown reason never repeated solution from Fallout – the modular epilogue. After finishing the game and watching the outro presenting the consequence of the path you have chosen, you will also be able to see the fate of the world and its individual locations which you have influenced by your actions or non-action.
We will not give specific examples of quests here – we do not want to spoil the players' experience and the ambiance of the game, when finally playing they think 'Heyyy… they wrote once about this quest, though!'
Talking about different outcomes, how will you be able to achieve them? Through different actions that you do throughout the game, or through a final choice at the end of the game?
Both, actually. At some point through the game, long before the end, the player is faced with a choice between two drastically different paths, and a whole consecutive chapter is a consequence of that choice. Nevertheless, even from those consequences you will be able to escape… or at least try, because if you get yourself into a cul-de-sac…
How will you be able to interact with NPCs [talk with them, steal from them etc.], and will there be NPC schedules like in Gothic or Ultima VII?
Conversation, pickpocketing, attacking or trade are standards. Apart from that many NPCs will be able to provide medical care, fix your gear, do some cyber-prosthetics or create objects from the provided components. Stealth action includes also knockout – a character who did not see who took their lights out with a gourd hit to the back of the head, will not blame anyone particular for it. Most untypical interactions will be effected via the dialog box. We wish to be able to present to the players virtually any event; if not with graphics or sound (which cannot render, for example, the smell of the sewer), then with the classic combination: narration plus black-out.
The NPCs have schedules, but the scope and mechanics of them is not as elaborate as in Gothic or Oblivion.
By what games or other media (movies, books) has Afterfall been influenced?
I think the greatest influence have been the stories by Phillip K. Dick, which are sci-fi classics. This author has particularly favored the post-apocalyptic setting, which he constructed in each story in a completely new and original way.
Also, there's been the fantasy writing of the Strugacki brothers, 'Deus Irae' by Roger Żelazny and P. K. Dick, the story 'Autobahn nach Poznań' from the 'Zapach szkła' (Smell of Glass) collection by Andrzej Ziemiański and many other, minor inspirations.
From cinematography, it must have been 'The Postman' and the 'Mad Max' series.
Among the games influencing our work, most are also classic for the genre: Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate series, KOTOR I and II, Deus Ex.... and of course both parts of Fallout. On the other hand, tactical games have also left their mark: Silent Storm and Brigade E5, and also stealth action games like Thief and Splinter Cell.
What effect will implants have in the game?
There are three main aspects to the functioning of implants. First, there are the many advantages that they offer. Implants can produce painkillers, stimulate adrenalin secretion, monitor your health, decrease fatigue, greatly impact some features, etc. Limb implants are an interesting kind. A cybernetic arm will not give you bonuses to your strength or precision. It will not give you any bonuses. A cybernetic arm has its own parameters of strength, precision, etc, which will replace the hero's parameters when it is used. Thanks to this there are many combinations possible. One (natural) arm may serve the hero for precise aiming, and the other – a strong and sturdy, but crude implant – may be used for hand-to-hand combat or delivering long, stable bursts from a firmly held submachinegun.
Second, there are purely practical problems with implants. Mainly, most of them are powered with electricity, an appropriate portion of which you must consume every 24 hours along with your food and water. Substituting limbs or organs with implants, you increase the amount of needed energy, while decreasing victual consumption. With advanced cyborgization all you need to live is a sizeable battery and some nutritious pap like in 'Robocop.' Still, the moment the player character substitutes one of his vital organs (like the heart) with an implant is a point of no return. From then on, the hero becomes completely dependent on energy and the condition of his cybernetic parts. Before that, when electrocuted, hit with a taser or EMP (from which you cannot hide behind a wall like you could from shrapnel), he would have to manage without the techno-boost, or with a temporarily incapacitated arm or leg. After crossing that line such events result in death. Implants obviously do not regenerate, but collect damage from combat and use, threatening with malfunction or failure.
The third aspect is cultural. The PC may encounter different responses from NPCs towards implants. They will sometimes be neutral, sometimes impress like a red Ferrari, but mostly incite aversion or hostility.
So implants can greatly improve some features. Arms and legs can improve your strength and dexterity, but in what way do the implants for inner organs improve your character's stats?
There are various cases, so let me present a handful. The first group of internal implants are add-ons to the organism. Among other things these can release different chemical substances into the organism (like metaamphetamine, painkillers, concentration enhancers) or regulate the production of neurotransmitters (e.g. increasing the level of adrenalin), or increase the oxidation of the blood (alleviating fatigue), or neutralize poisons and toxins. These functions may be automatic, or operated by a special panel. Implants of this kind have moderate influence on gameplay. Another group are replacement implants, which are only few. One of those is a high-performance artificial heart-and-lung set. Such a set will make stamina problems disappear, but its failure equals instant death. Like artificial arms and legs, internal replacement implants greatly influence gameplay.
Another question on implants, you said they require energy to work. How does your character consume this energy, and where do you get it from (batteries, small electricity generators)?
If an implant uses little energy, it will be charged from the energy sources in the equipment every 12 hours, while eating. If it needs much, the energy will be drawn continuously in units per minute or second. Some implants will draw a portion with every separate use. The consumption of energy, food and water has been designed in a way that would force a realistic approach to traveling, and at the same time spare the monotonous "manual" feeding of the PC for the players who are not enthusiastic about it. (Still, the manual feeding of the hero will be possible.)
As we were wrapping up our energy management system, to our surprise it turned out quite similar to a system of… mana. In many cRPGs set in a world where the use of magic depends on the consumption of mana, the hero possesses a pool of it and a pace of its regeneration. In Afterfall the hero may possess personal storage cells, the summary capacity of which is the energy reserve ready for instant use. The energy sources he possesses (like fuel cells), are responsible for energy production, that is, the pace of storage cells recharging. Most devices only require energy sources: a car, an artificial arm, lights, etc. are not too energy consuming even for an average fuel cell. No reserve needed here. In fantasy games such a situation took place when, for example, a magic aura took less mana per second than was regenerated. But, if the hero uses energy weapons, problems start, because without first-rate military storage cells he cannot fire even a couple of shots. Weapons of this kind use a large portion of energy in the moment of discharge, so you can only power them from the energy pool limited by your storage. Through most of the game, 2 or 3 shots from a plasma pistol at the beginning of a fight will be the only ones you fire for hours.
Also, the energy system aims for realism. An excellent example here is a powered suit – a hybrid object which, apart from giving protection, also consumes energy (the more you use its enhancing capabilities), but possesses its own fuel and storage cell. So, from the suit's reserve you are able to power energy weapons, and by switching off motion enhancement, save energy for other purposes. Another example: when a suit wearer is in a vehicle and needs no enhancement, the vehicle's engine can be powered from the suit's power source. But there is one more major difference between mana systems and the Afterfall energy system. Fuel cells run out.
On a similar note, what effects will mutations have?
Crucially, mutations are chaotic. If you do not protect your character from toxic substances, radiation and pathogens, you never know if after many days or even weeks of asymptomatic development, one morning you won't discover a benign mutation. Slight changes are no reason to panic. Usually you can hide them beneath clothes, and get rid of some of them surgically. Worse if you ignore that first warning, because you risk not only new mutations, but also progression of the already existing ones. Only some mutations have any practical benefits, most will only ruin your health or make you a social outcast. However, if the advantages do appear, they can turn the entire gameplay upside down, and paying a character who embraces mutations can be like playing a Wild Mage, werewolf or vampire. Mutations can improve strength, precision, speed, mental capabilities, they can make your character unpredictable for the opponents, resistant to pain, acutely perceptive, etc, and to a degree that no implant can provide. Forrest Gump would say that mutations in Afterfall are like a box of chocolates.
So will they be visible on your character as well? I mean, will big enough mutations be graphically visible on your character?
Of course they will. Mostly they will be made by textures, but some of the more serious mutations can for example take the form of growths. Sometimes so big, they prevent the use of armor.
Mutations seem to have both good and bad effects on your character. Is there any way to get rid of them once you got one, maybe by a cure or by an operation?
It is difficult, but in some cases possible. The first degree mutations which you cannot hide with clothes or otherwise, you will be able to amputate. Such procedures, however, will not only be expensive, but also will virtually always bring harmful and irreversible consequences. For example, a growth on the cheek after being surgically removed will leave a nasty scar, which will cause negative modification of the responses from newly met characters.
How will mutations and implants influence the NPC's reactions towards you?
Basically, implants in Afterfall are only am extrapolation of today's trends and technology, a simple consequence of prosthetics and later cyber-prosthetics. Many of the implants are no more invasive than the ones currently used (limb prosthetics, false teeth, breast implants, pacemakers, artificial cornea or eye lens, or internal hearing aids), but nevertheless, among the population of the Afterfall world the users of such devices may encounter mistrust, or even aversion and aggression. People do not have their views written on their foreheads, and you never know in whom and when the dislike of augmented people will outweigh the hero's good opinion. At the same time, the greater the degree of cyborgization, the less human the character appears to his interlocutors, even if they hold no grudge against cyborgs.
Mutations, in turn, especially not hidden or inconcealable, can make the character an outcast in many locations. They will force him to prove his worth to everyone, or to intimidate them to get his way. There are of course NPCs who are used to mutations and unbiased, as well as those who will remain intolerant whatever you do. The other side of the coin is mutant solidarity – societies of mutants that subscribe to this principle will always give another mutant an advance of trust, and possibly food and shelter. Fortunately, you can hide most mutations and live normally.
To sum up, both mutations and implants can be the key to otherwise unattainable super-human abilities, but also the source of many greater and lesser problems. Their advantages are enormous and incomparable with anything else… the same as their drawbacks. Implants in some way destabilize the game. Mutations are like playing Russian roulette or walking on a swamp – there is no balanced development here. Combining implants and mutations is even more hardcore.
What effects does the environment have on your character? Do you, for example, have to wear sufficient clothing in cold areas or take damage from the cold?
The issue of temperature is quite simplified in Afterfall. If an armor or clothes offer enough protection from temperature damage, heat or cold will not be doing any harm. The surroundings do however play a big practical role. The realistic cost of action and realistic damage dealt in combat make it worthwhile to seek cover from enemy fire or for the time of magazine change, to attack through windows, jump over fences, climb to roofs, etc. Every wall, pit or mound can have tactical importance. It gets even more interesting with stealth action. Then you have to look out for lights and shadows, the loudness of the surfaces, or sound sources which can drown out your footsteps. These mechanisms work two ways – if the character is high on drugs or adrenalin, he risks tripping (no pun intended) on terrain which is too difficult.
So the game comes with a stealth system. Do NPCs react accurately towards sounds and shadows/lights, similar to games like Thief?
Do they react accurately? Yes. Like in games like Thief? No. You must remember that the world of Afterfall is not comprised exclusively of the hero and his opponents, but is also populated, like many cRPG worlds, with many independent characters. In the games like Thief or Splinter Cell you could encounter a situation where an ordinary citizen or civilian bystander from the street hears the hero and begins to frantically search for him through every nook and cranny, just like the guards would. In reality, such a character probably wouldn't even pay any attention (plenty of other people around, why would this particular sound be suspicious?), or would even walk away, fearing he would be mugged. In Afterfall the different reactions, and the according creation of AI will surely be a considerable challenge for us. We are planning to implement reactions including sounding an alarm, informing other characters of suspicious movements or sounds, and finally searching for the intruder they have lost sight of, even throughout the entire location. The stealth system is not a number one priority at this time, though, so we don't know how much of these plans we will be able to execute.
How are female characters treated in the game? Are there any differences between playing a male and playing a female character?
It all depends on the NPC you are dealing with. Most of them know that women, like anyone else, have been hardened by the tough post-nuclear conditions, they had to manage as much as anybody, and are in every way equal to men. You will, however, find characters for whom a woman is nothing more than prey or even a commodity. On the other hand, many NPCs will be more friendly and sympathetic towards a female than a male character. Female NPCs will usually be neutral towards a woman, but can become more friendly or unfriendly towards a man. In this aspect we decided rather to pursue the path of realism of the fictitious world, often full of cruelty and prejudice, than that of political correctness, which under post-nuclear conditions would be nothing but fake.
And, last but not least, how is your search for a publisher going? Have you already found one or are you still searching?
Lately we have received a few offers, but we decided the conditions were not acceptable – in return only for jobs we would be denied control over the contents of the game, and the investor would be able to do anything with it, including replacing mutants with pink bunnies or rainbow ponies. The best offer so far, a cooperation with an ambitious, serious development studio that appreciates our goals, still has a major drawback: it could only come into effect a year or two from now, when the company concludes its current projects. Being aware of the fact that the further we are with our work, the better offers we are going to get, we continue working on the techdemo.
We'd like to thank Maciej for taking the time to answer these questions and wish him and the rest of the Afterfall team the best of luck in getting their ambitions fully fleshed-out in the final game

For partners that build or integrate commercially available applications and service solutions with the Oracle Cloud Platform
For partners that provide implementation or managed services around Oracle Cloud Applications
I will like feedback from participants on the usefulness of the white paper and suggestions to improve it while keeping it brief
Hello Ashok,
we are developing Contract Manufacturing ERP Cloud solution with 50 different contract manufaturers and only 1 OEM.
Many of the components are shared among all the contract manufacturers and we need to understand how to plann the material using MRP and Sourcing Rules.
We need to plann the whole on hand stock in OEM + all the CM even if the regular process is designed to supply from only one CM, but for some case the components are stocked in different CM.
Supply Chain Planning supports the contract manufacturing process. You can represent each of the 50 CMs as contract manufacturing organizations. Include the contract manufacturing organizations in the plan. Set up sourcing rules at the OEM org to transfer from one or more of the CM orgs and assign these sourcing rules to items at the OEM org. The supply chain plan will now generate supplies at the OEM org to transfer from the CM orgs. The dependent demands at the CM org will generate additional supplies at the CM org based on work definitions defined at the CM org. You can also setup sourcing rules to transfer inventory of components from one CM org to another if needed. Hope that helps.
Thanks Bala,
I have another question, it's possible to use rank in sourcing rule in order to enable the plan to "search" in different CM org if stock exists before to require transfer from the OEM?
In this case which is the intended functionality in the following scenario for item code A:
- CM1 demand 100 and supply 0
- CM2 demand 0 and supply 50
- CM3 demand 50 and supply 200
- OEM demand 0 and supply 0
and we have a local sourcing rule in CM1 assigned to item code A like the following:
- Transfer from CM2 rank 1 100%
- Transfer from CM3 rank 2 100%
- Transfer from OEM rank 3 100%
Thanks you
Will you have circular sourcing? i.e. is there a requirement to support a situation where you want the planning engine to recommend transfer from CM1 to CM2 when CM2 demand exceeds supply in addition to the example above? e.g.
- CM1 demand 0 and supply 100
- CM2 demand 150 and supply 50
you want planning engine to recommend the transfer of 100 units from CM1 to CM2 in addition to the reverse
- CM1 demand 100 and supply 0
- CM2 demand 0 and supply 50
Hi Balebail,
the aim is to create circular sourcing in order to transfer exceede supply.
In the suggested scenario
- CM1 demand 0 and supply 100
- CM2 demand 150 and supply 50
you want planning engine to recommend the transfer of 100 units from CM1 to CM2 in addition to the reverse
- CM1 demand 100 and supply 100
- CM2 demand 150 and supply 50

Whether you're buying a brand new or a used car, looking for a run-around or a family wagon, or searching for the perfect commercial vehicle, choosing which motor to drive off the forecourt is a big decision for drivers.
To give you helping hand, Iain Sercombe, new car sales manager at Bristol Street Motors Ford Gloucester, chats to SoGlos about the different services on offer at the dealership, along with advice on maximising your budget and choosing the right car to suit your lifestyle.
As we are the largest Ford Store within the Bristol Street group of companies, we are able offer the entire range of services for our customers. This includes new and used retail car sales, highlighting the iconic Mustang, RS and Vignale range; new fleet and commercial vehicle sales offering the award-winning Transit product; and leasing and contract hire solutions to suit all business needs, whether that's large corporate or SMEs.
Our comprehensive after-sales facility includes servicing all makes of car and LCVs (Light Commercial Vehicles), MOTs, while our professional Ford-approved body shop repairs all major accident damage along with minor scuffs.
We are one of the largest wholesale suppliers of Ford parts in the area but are happy to offer professional parts advice to all of our customers. In short, we are a one-stop shop for all of our customers' motoring needs.
Ford is an iconic brand, founded way back in 1902 by the legendary Henry Ford. The iconic blue oval was introduced in 1907 and is a signature for build quality, affordability and excellent performance.
The brand helps to inspire confidence for its customers by producing vehicles that incorporate some of the latest technology as in the Sync 3 entertainment system, whilst maintaining an enviable and industry-leading build quality.
We find that people demand a good deal, and Ford strives to offer great value for money which has ensured that they have remained the number one brand in the UK for many years.
We have a wide range of vehicles that offer complete flexibility for our customers as their lives and needs change, so many remain loyal to the Ford brand all of their lives joining the army of 'Ford People'.
We have a comprehensive range of small city cars like the KA+ to the market leading Fiesta. Moving on to the larger SUV range including Eco-sport, Kuga and Edge and of course not forgetting the performance segment with the iconic Focus RS and Mustang vehicles.
For our commercial customers, we are proud to offer the market-leading Transit, which continues to be the largest selling van in the UK. The range has never been more encompassing which makes it a great time to be associated with such a well-known and loved brand.
Undoubtedly, the Ford Fiesta. I'm a firm believer that in the most competitive sector of the market, every manufacturer focuses on producing a great product, however within its segment no vehicle comes close to the Fiesta for desirability, build quality and driveability. It really is a fantastic vehicle.
This is confirmed by the Fiesta remaining the UK's number one selling model for over 20 years. We have recently updated the model and it is being very well received by our loyal customers and new customers alike.
A great initiative is the new formed partnership with audio giant Bang & Olufsen, who are synonymous with quality and offer an unbelievable listening experience. They are a market leader in the stereo system market and you can now order your brand new Fiesta with the Bang & Olufsen stereo included.
Be organised and prepared by considering everything you need from a vehicle. Then speak to one of our trained sales executives who can help by offering advice on what vehicle may suit your needs best, ensuring that you make an informed decision. You should have fun as well, as buying a car should be an enjoyable experience.
Currently we have just released the new Ford Fiesta and all of our attention for new releases is focused towards this. In the new year we will have to wait and see what will be new to the market, but rest assured 2018 will certainly be another big year for Ford, which will look to push the boundaries of technology and driveability as per previous years.
Many drivers like to be the first in their street to drive the new registration plate. It's a popular time and a great statement to make driving off in one of the first batch of newly registered vehicles. September is a busy time and within the trade we love it.
It's great to see so many of our loyal and new customers coming through the door. Whether it is to purchase another vehicle or for their yearly service. Our kettle is always on for a cup of coffee or tea in our brand-new showroom.
The best way to maintain your vehicle after buying a new or used car is with an affordable service plan. This helps to secure your service costs at today's prices for a period of two to three years whilst getting it maintained at main dealer.
Paint protection is also an important extra to consider when buying your car to maximise resale value in years to come. Prior to taking delivery you can also add factory-fitted or dealer-fitted parking sensors to your vehicle to guard against any knocks whilst parking your car.

He walked in the front door and stood in place. He took a deep breath and adjusted his suit jacket collar. He awaited this moment all of his life. It's the kind of moment that all Dad's eventually think about when they hear the three words, "it's a girl". And now it was happening. She walked down the stairs. Her eyes were filled with joy and flooded with tears. This was the day she had dreamt about. And it still felt like a dream. She was about to marry her best friend. She couldn't wait to see her Dad, he was after all the first man who won her heart. Their eyes met. In that moment, she was still his little girl, but now in a wedding gown. And he was about to give his daughter to the man she had been waiting to for, the man who had won both her heart and the heart of their family.
We were so honoured to capture the love of Angela and Michael at their Cluba Roma Wedding. Their wedding was such a perfect day, filled with the love of two of the most loving families we have ever come across. Angela, with her gorgeous red hair and charm, was SO lovely on her wedding day. She wore a stunning champagne lace dress and we even got to see Cooper, their sweet fur baby, with a tie on! Michael (such a great guy!) was looking incredibly dapper as usual – and can we just say his hair always looks good. Angela and Michael had their ceremony at Club Roma's garden and reception at the Club Roma ballroom. It's a beautiful wedding venue with a lot of variety. Their wedding combined a rustic garden theme during the ceremony alongside classic black tie elegance at their reception. For their portraits we went to Ball's Falls conservation area. The barns, greenery, and surrounding forest made this bride's rustic wedding vision come true!
We loved our day with these two and are so excited for their future together. Best friends for years, together they make an amazing couple. And their families were so lovely and made us feel so welcomed (to the point where we felt like we were part of the family!). By the end of the night we were sad that we had to leave! Angela and Michael, we know the two of you have so much adventure and blessing ahead on your journey together. Always be each others' biggest fans, and say hello to sweet Cooper for us! /// D&S

Pochettino discusses his 'affection' for Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he still has 'affection' for his former side Southampton.
Speaking to the media ahead of his side's clash against the Saints on Wednesday night, as reported by Reuters, the Argentine coach was quizzed on his former club's struggles of late.
Pochettino joined Southampton midway through the 2012/13 season and departed at the end of the following campaign as Tottenham came calling.
He has since enjoyed success with Spurs and has led them to consistent Champions League finishes during his tenure in North London so far.
Southampton travel to Wembley Stadium to face off with Tottenham on Wednesday night as they bid to get their season back on track.
The Saints are currently managerless but Ralph Hasenhuttl appears to be on the verge of being appointed as the club's new first-team boss. This news is sure to lift the St Mary's faithful, who have seen their side win only once this season.
Pochettino discussed Southampton's current predicament and said:
Always my affection is going to be there with my first club in England. It had a massive impact in my life and I'm grateful to Southampton. I think they have the tools to lift from that situation and I always wish the best for them but tomorrow we compete and we need to win the three points.

Elway better pull his head out and extend CHJ now before the CB market is set at a ridiculously high price again!
Elway better pull his head out and extend CHJ now before the CB market is set at a ridiculously high price again!
I could very well be wrong, but it just doesn't seem like Denver is in a rush for either. And I get the feeling Harris and his agent know that which is why this went public the way it did.
The rumors coming from these contract talks makes zero sense for the Broncos. Giving him a bump and then letting him walk is silly. They need to give him a couple year contract.
If they really don't want him past this year, just let him play on his current contract.
If they dont want him they should trade him asap and get a decent pick .
Reports are coming in that an agreement is imminent, and that it will be for 2019 only. It was also reported that the Broncos never offered a multi-year deal for CHJ. This means in all likelihood, this is CHJ's last year with us, so enjoy it.
Superbowl 50 Champions!
Elway went out and made Kareem Jackson his highest paid Corner back, a guy who has never been to a pro bowl, and a guy who is older than Chris Harris Jr and no where near the same status!
His best CB (Chris Harris Jr) is staring him right in the face, asking for a somewhat lengthy extension but John Elway seems to want to end the marriage after only one more season!
WTH does John know that we dont?
Why sign an older player who isnt as good for so much when he couldve just extended CHJ, signed Callahan and relied on Yiadom or a cheaper free agent to play nickel?
No disrespect to Kareem Jackson but why suddenly give him such a large contract and then pretty much break off all long term connections with CHJ who he couldve had for the same price if not cheaper?
I have a feeling I see what they are doing.
Get him in the building by giving him a pay raise but not adding any years. See how he plays for the one year. If he for some reason cant play at the high level anymore then you can let him walk with no cap hit like you would if you extended him. If he plays great then you can FT with a hit of around $15m.
You can sign him to a 2 year deal worth $13-15m per year with guarantees no matter what.
You can give him a raise and then potentially FT him next yr. Getting essentially $13-15m per year on two years as well. But with the option to cut ties with no hit after 1 year
Disappointing if true. Glad to hear he is more likely to remain in a Bronco uniform this year but a one year deal is silly.
I am going to continue to hope the final agreement is for multiple years.
Still trying to understand where the narrative keeps coming from concerning the angst over Harris age, decline or injury.
Have you seen the signs or just expecting it to happen? Are you also including Jackson and Miller in the concern for old players declining before our eyes? Both older then Harris.
If he signs a 2 year deal averaging $13-$15 it will most likely have dead cap for the following year plus if he doesnt play well you on the books for him ( assuming there would be dead cap)
Pay raise of $13-$15 and see how he plays. If he does well and you want him back then you FT him which is around $15m anyways. If he does poorly then you can walk with no hit.
Same money just protecting the organization.

Enforcing Clients' Other Rights
In addition to more traditional civil rights claims, I help my clients pursue their rights in and out of the employment context.
Wage / Bonus / Stock Option Claims
All non-union employees (as opposed to independent contractors and under certain conditions union employees) have certain rights that are protected under the California Labor Code and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. For example, such an employee has a right to be paid: (a) the amount s/he has been promised (unless given appropriate advance notice of a change); (b) his or her wage in full and on time; (c) earned overtime; and (d) full and timely final pay upon the end of the employment relationship.
Earned bonuses and commissions are often considered "wages" and are also due on time. Under certain circumstances if your employment ends through no fault of your own there is a good argument that you are entitled to a pro-rated share of an earned bonus or commission that has not fully vested at the time of your separation. Not-yet-vested stock options are a bit trickier, but the stock option paperwork is always worth close scrutiny.
Additionally, California and Federal labor codes protect employees from retaliation for good faith attempts to complain about wage & hour violations or good faith attempts to enforce wage & hour laws.
Related Unfair and Misleading Business Practice Claims
A handful of laws protect employees and consumers from certain unfair and/or misleading business practices. In California it is also illegal to terminate someone in violation of what the legislature has determined to be a fundamental public policy. Additionally, it is illegal to terminate someone in retaliation for their opposition or refusal to engage in fraud on a) the government; b) shareholders/potential shareholders; or c) customers. Some of these prohibitions are contained in the Federal and State False Claims Acts, the Sarbanes Oxley Act, the Internal Revenue (Tax) Code and the California Business & Professions Code.
In some instances there are whistle-blower finders fees for those who complain directly to the government. But you should consult an attorney before making such a complaint on your own!

2014 has been a break-out year for recreational marijuana. Colorado and Washington state were the first two U.S. states to make it legal. Following in their footsteps, two more states and the District of Columbia voted to legalize marijuana. Other states are also moving to decriminalize marijuana use. CCTV America's Jim Spellman reported this story from Washington D.C.
The longest running American war isn't Vietnam or Afghanistan: It's the War on Drugs, launched in 1971 by US President Richard Nixon, and amplified in the 1980s by President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy, who famously said: "I was asked by a group of children what to do if they were offered drugs, and I answered, 'Just say no.'"
2014 a good year for marijuana2014 has been a break-out year for recreational marijuana. Colorado and Washington state were the first two U.S. states to make it legal. Following in their footsteps, two more states and the District of Columbia voted to legalize marijuana. Other states are also moving to decriminalize marijuana use. CCTV America's Jim Spellman reported this story from Washington D.C.
Through laws and vigorous enforcement, the war on drugs aimed to eradicate the production, sale and use of illegal drugs including marijuana. In 1986, Reagan pointed to the war's apparent success.
But gradually what Reagan and others claimed as success began to look more like failure, especially when it came to marijuana. Betty Aldworth, a pro-legalization advocate, said more Americans are rejecting the war on drugs.
"They look at the international picture where people are dying every day in Mexico, where the cartels are largely in charge. They look at the injustices of marijuana prohibition and other drug war policies that disproportionately impact people in low income communities and people of color. They look at the size of the incarcerated population in the US and they say no more. Not in our names," Betty Aldworth, executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy said.
The shift began in 1996 when the U.S. state of California legalized marijuana for medical use. Out of the 50 states, 23 states and the District of Columbia now have some form of legal medical marijuana use and four states have legalized recreational use of marijuana for adults.
In the first half of 2014, recreational marijuana sales in Colorado brought the state about 19 million dollars in taxes, less than projected before voters passed legalization, although advocates say that's money that would otherwise be in the black market and that police resources are now better directed by not going after pot dealers and users. Anti-legalization advocates argue the taxes won't cover the damage marijuana does to society.
In pop culture. the image of the marijuana user has shifted from clueless stoners Cheech and Chong to the suburban mom in "Weeds", as marijuana has gone mainstream.
"Many more people are realizing that marijuana is a substance frequently used similarly to alcohol and that by keeping it illegal we are actually creating more social problems than we are solving," Aldworth said.
U.S. President Barack Obama has said he is open to a debate on drug legalization, but for now he remains opposed.
"I personally, and my administration's position, is that legalization is not the answer," Obama said.
His administration has not gone after states that have legalized marijuana, but the president's party no longer controls either house of Congress and he has only two years left in his term, making the future of drug legalization in the U.S. hazy at best.

text: Home Insights Back to Insights Tripling the speed when taking SAP CRM ERP orders 18 April 2012 Tweet Share David Evans How often have you called a company to find the person at the other end of the line apologising that the system is "slow today"? Our users (at the other end of the line) often refer to the logo that spins on a SAP CRM system when it's doing something as the "donut of death" or the "ring of doom". There's some good information from Bluefin Solutions / SAP on improving CRM speed (I've included the links at the end). This blog focuses on some big improvements we found that helped speed up the SAP CRM ERP Order taking process. I recently worked on a new SAP CRM 7 call centre that had... Hundreds of agents taking thousands of orders SAP CRM linked to SAP ECC and SAP APO in the "ERP Sales Order" scenario to check real time product availability Global systems located 6,000 miles away (why do I mention this? - if something under the bonnet has to go back and forth 32 times - the speed of light means it will take over a second). Check out this video (SAP CRM 7.0 - Fast Order Entry) of the SAP CRM order (non ERP) taking process to illustrate some points. Now imagine the following: You've entered 50 products in the "Items" view You may have more columns off to the right of the screen in this view You've got some tough design decisions to make. The users want to see all columns and line items at once and they don't want to have to page/scroll back and forth. So 20 columns, 100 line items - that's 2,000 cells SAP CRM is pushing to the internet browser. It may be only a few orders that are big, but they are your high value orders. SAP will tell you that this will slow the system down. So what do you do? If you are already live: Get business support Set expectations - The system will get faster, but some improvements may not be obvious. If you speed up a really slow process from 14 seconds to 6 seconds, it's still over 5 seconds and users will still comment it's slow. Get all the agents using the system in the same way - If agents have their own different techniques or don't understand the system, then making the system faster won't help everyone. Study time and motion Some of the earliest management consultants were involved in time and motion studies during the industrial revolution. Get the facts Spend time with the end users on the system Get your stopwatch out and record how long tasks take (or record videos to help time the system) Make sure you use the same machine as the agents use (put your powerhouse laptop away) Focus on what the user does most. A user may take dozens of orders per day, but they are actually typing in thousands of line items per day. Focus on how to speed up taking line items first. Only then will you... Spot patterns and have a record to measure the improvements you roll out later Spot areas that cause frustration. It's one of the arguments against time and motion projects - they reduce everything to a series of efficient but repetitive mini tasks If the user has to type in the same information repeatedly, can you automate it? Is information shown in a random fashion? If so put an order to it that a human can understand Improve the system 25% Improvement within seconds Users can enable a CRM performance mode under the Personalisation settings in the UI (or you can write a report to do it). On screens showing a lot of columns and rows - the speed of our system improved 25%. Tip: Press CTRL+SHIFT+F7 (on SAP CRM 7 and above). It tells you how much time is being taken up by the back end (e.g. inefficient ABAP code) and how much time the front end is eating up (e.g. poor network, or you're just showing too much in internet explorer). It's this front end processing that's improved when you enable these performance settings. Cut the SAP ECC and SAP APO roundtrip Back to that sales order screen with 2,000 cells on it...consider the ERP order scenario (the ERP order scenario is where you use the CRM web system to type in an order, but the order is actually saved directly on the ERP system and the solution leverages ERP configuration), every time you enter a product or change a quantity - then do something - insert a line, lookup a product, etc, the CRM system goes away to ECC and APO and checks stock and validates the entry. This "full roundtrip" between the three systems takes time (this technically uses the LORD interface). With a little development in the SAP CRM UI you can cut this out and let the user decide when the system should check stock levels. The pop-up - counter intuitive speed improvements We were on SAP CRM 7. There is a better product search and multi line entry facility in SAP CRM 7 Enhancement Pack 1. In effect SAP has been moving processes off the main order screen and into a popup. We did a couple of things... Moved less critical information on the sales order screen into a popup. If there was something interesting going on with information available on the popup, we summarised it to the user on the main screen Improved the sales order product search popup. We found some users were constantly looking for information in a popup (ie they had to keep opening and closing the same popup). So we designed the system so the user could stay in the popup and search/enter quantities against as many products as they wanted to. 4 columns or 1? Look at the 2 tables below. They actually show the same information. What happened when we combined similar information into 1 column within the sales order item view of SAP CRM? Surprisingly - a much faster system. On big orders the system is "slow" because it's trying to show information in too many cells. It's not that the system is taking too long reading the information in the backend of SAP CRM. Windows, Internet Explorer, PCs and the Interaction Centre Although the latest versions of internet explorer aren't yet supported by SAP, keep an eye on them. At a recent Tech Ed, SAP talked about how much faster internet explorer 9 is compared to 7 and 8. Consider upgrading your Operating System (OS) and user's desktops. We found a new OS (Windows XP to Windows 7 that included Internet Explorer 8 instead of 7) and a faster desktop shaved a second off absolutely everything. And if something used to take 1.1 seconds - suddenly it's lightning fast. And how about a bigger LCD screen - users will have to scroll less. The result In the end we got a system that was measurably faster. In several areas it was 3 times faster. And as promised here are links to a couple of blogs that are well worth a read for for more tips and tricks: How to make CRM 2007 & 7.0 WebUI perform super fast by Thierry Crifasi Go Live Tomorrow and Response Time > 5 Seconds = Sweat & Tears by Marcus Behrens About the author David Evans Insights by this author: Lessons learned from implementing SAP BCM on SAP CRM in a customer service environmentTripling the speed when taking SAP CRM ERP orders

Dogs are man's best friend. For thousands of years, dogs have been found in the company of people. Initially, dogs were used for work, but nowadays they're kept primarily as pets. At the same time, dogs are increasingly taking on the role of service animals to help those who, for whatever reason, need some extra help. In short, dogs are special animals that deserve a place on a quilt, and in your home.
