JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 25, 2010) - ETSU women's golf coach Stefanie Shelton announced Wednesday that she has completed her roster for the 2010-11 season, adding four new faces to join returning standouts such as senior Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) and junior Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain).
The new names appearing on the roster this season include Sian Evans (Gillingham, England), Pearl Asaka Sim (Santa Barbara, Calif.), Lauren Smith (Cramlington, England) and Larissa Steinfeldt (Eschweiler, Germany).
"We needed to reload and I think we accomplished that with this group," Shelton said. "Each of these young ladies has enjoyed success at varying levels of competition, and when it comes to what we are looking for in this program, I believe they are all a good fit."
Evans was a member of the England Girls U18 Elite Squad and holds Faversham Ladies Course record with a 66. She has also enjoyed her share of success at a young age, winning the Kent Schools Girls County title, the Faversham Ladies Club championship, the Sundridge Ladies Scratch-McCart Trophy, and the Kent Ladies County title.
Steinfeldt has qualified for the German National Championship since becoming eligible. In addition, she won the Estonian Amateur title in 2010, and placed second in the same event back in 2009.
Meanwhile, Smith is returning from injury after missing her sophomore season at West Texas College. At WTC, Smith led the Golfstat Cup Rankings for all junior college players during the fall semester of her freshman season, and she posted a low round of 2-under-par 70 at the West Texas Country Club.
As for Sim, she was a star at Santa Barbara Community College, winning the 2008 California State Individual Championship and leading her team to the California state title. She was also the Western State Conference Player of the Year, the California State Player of the Year, and her junior college team's MVP.
The women's golf team opens their fall season Sept. 26-28 at the Starmount Classic in Greensboro, N.C.

Just looking for a bit of advice on coding. I'm working on getting boam ready for release but have hit an issue that's got me scratching my head. There are feats in the book for wizard/sorcerer/bard to be graduates of arcane magic schools. These grant an extra L1 spell known from specific school, and an extra spell cast at each spell level from that school. I tried basing this on class ability for specialist wizard but it doesn't pull through on test character with the feat.
https://pcgenorg.atlassian.net/plugins/ ... WSOURCE-25
Any advice most welcome.
Cheers, Gordon.

Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Thailand : Northern Thailand : Lower Northern Thailand : Sukhothai
Sukhothai (สุโขทัย) is a small city (population 35,713) in Lower Northern Thailand, most famous for the ruins of the ancient city Sukhothai. The name translates as "the dawn of happiness". The province is located on the lower edge of the northern region, 427 kilometres north of Bangkok, and covers some 6,596 square kilometres.
The city is a popular tourist destination because it is located near the ruins of the ancient city of Sukhothai, which was the Thai capital during the 13th Century A.D. The historical Sukhothai was the first capital of Siam founded by King Ramkhamhaeng. The province's temples and monuments have been restored and Sukhothai Historical Park – is an area with numerous sites of historical interest whuch has been dedicated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other interesting places include Ramkhamhaeng National Museum, Ramkhamhaeng National Park, Sri Satchanalai National Park and The Royal Palace and Wat Mahathat.
Sukhothai was the first kingdom of Siam established some 800 years ago. The exact year is unknown but according to the Fine Arts Office it was between 1238 and 1257.
Established in around 1238 to 1257, Sukhothai literally means "Dawn of Happiness." Phokhun Si Intharathit was the founder of the Phra Ruang Dynasty, Sukhothai's first Dynasty. For 120 years as the capital of Siam, Sukhothai was ruled by many kings. In this connection, the most dynamic monarch being King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, who created the Thai alphabet, laid the foundation for politics, monarchy, and religion, as well as, expanded its boundary of influence. Though the golden era of Sukhothai no longer exists, tourists should bear in mind that respect and admiration for the renowned ruined twin cities of Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai is valued.
The best time of the year to see Sukhothai is from November to February when the weather is cooler. Other than that you can go any time of the year.
Get in
By plane
Bangkok Airways [2] now has a daily flight from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport, which then continues on to Lampang. Fares from/to Bangkok start from THB 1700 (1 hour 20 minutes), from/to Lampang - from THB 1100 (around 40 minutes).
By train
Take the (express) train (7 hours from Bangkok or Chiang Mai) to Phitsanulok and go by bus from there (1 hour).
By bus
Sukothai only has a small bus station, but the city can be easily reached from the North, South, East and West.
From Mae Sot: Minibuses run regularly from the station behind the market. The journey takes about 3 hours, passing through Tak on the way. 130 baht.
From Phitsanulok: Frequent buses operate from the main bus terminal and take about 1 hour for the 58 km trip.
From Bangkok: There are direct buses from Bangkok Mochit Terminal and takes 7 hours, including some stops at Bus Terminal of major cities on the way. Understand that at the Terminal (Mo Chit), there are several bus companies travelling to a particular destination. In this instance, Wintour travel, as at November 2010, charges B326 per person for a first class aircon bus. It takes about 6 hours.
From Chiang Mai: Buses from the main bus terminal take about 4 hours. The cheaper local buses make many stops and take about 5 hours.
Get around
The purple #1 songthaew travels to and from the bus station, which is about 3 km out of town. They run the length of Thanon Charodwithitong. The fare is 10 baht.
The large blue songthaew to Old Sukhothai leaves from a bus stop on Thanon Charodwithitong about 100 metres west of the bridge. It stops about 750 metres from the entrance to the central zone of the historic park. Fare: 20 baht. Drivers often ask 30 baht from foreigners, but if you insist or start to walk away they should agree for 20.
There are also Tuk Tuks, which will try to get B600 out of you for a trip to the Old City (main ruins)some 15Km out of town. The correct price is B300,(at Nov 2010) and this is for at least a couple of hours. When you have seen the part you are at and want to move further in the same area, the driver takes you there. *Feb 2012—I was told 600baht was a fair price for a day (which seems fair to me).
Located 12 km to the west of today's Sukhothai, this was the capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom from 1238 to 1438 and contains many ruins from that period. Its importance has been internationally recognised and it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The old city is a popular tourist attraction, and the site has seen much restoration since the 1960s. It is well maintained, exceptionally clean and well furnished with vendors, though with only a minimum of touts. The heavy restoration is worth noting, since with some ruins and Buddha figures it can lead to a feeling that it is a little over-sanitised, especially in the central zone. The other zones are much less "restored" and trips down unmarked tracks can lead to ruins in their untouched state.
The best way to see the ruins in the Sukhothai National Historic Park is by bicycle. These can be rented from a shop opposite from the main park entrance. It is feasible to walk around the central and northern zones in 6 hours or so. There is also a 40 baht guided tour by electric tram available.
The best time to see the ruins is mornings when it's a little cooler and before the buses arrive, at noon when they have lunch, or after 16:00.
The whole site covers an area of approximately 70 square kilometres (~27 square miles) and is divided into multiple zones, for which - of course - every zone has an entrance fee. As of Dec 2010, admission to each of the zones is B100 for Westerners, and B20 for Thais. (6 am to 6 pm) plus extra for vehicles, including bicycles (B10). The combined ticket (still found in most travel guides) does not exist any more. Before paying the fee be sure to check all gates, not every gate is always guarded, especially after 16:00. The central zone contains the majority of the ruins and a museum. Maps are free at the ticket office.
In sukhothai Historical Park
A Buddha figure at the market at the historical park. They are available in all historic styles, sizes and materials.
In New Sukhothai
Thongchai Wittayu: The biggest electronic store in Sukhothai. The products are digital cameras, memory cards, mp3, etc. You could ask around when you are hanging out in new Sukhothai, most of people know the store.

Interior Design Renovation Ideas
Modern homes have different designs from older homes not just on the exterior design aspect, but also on the interior design aspect as well. The truth is that it is actually much easier to renovate the inside of a property to make it look up-to-date or more modern than if you were to make the exterior look like the design of new homes. Of course, interior design renovation of the property is not something that you can do all on your own as there are many things that you literally need to do or even demolish to create that modern appearance.
Walls – old homes tend to have more walls dividing different spaces of the home. With older homes, there are often walls that divide the living area from the dining area. These walls create a more cramped appearance due to the subdivision of areas. By breaking down these walls and making both the living area and the dining area seamlessly joined, you create a much wider space that literally becomes more appealing to the current generation.
Fixtures – if the fixtures of your property are the dead-giveaway to the real age of your home, then may want to change them into something more modern. Although changing such may not seem much, it still actually helps in renewing the overall look of the old home to a more modern class. Old and retro design fixtures are no longer stylish in this day and age.
Paint – wallpapers these days look very cheap and shabby. Paint is actually the trend these days as it not only looks much better, but you also have lots of paint color options to choose from. Most interior decorators prefer using paint as they have more control in the outlook of the interior they are doing.
Arches – a lot of homes from decades ago had some arches built in them. Unless these arches really go with the interior of the property, they need to be removed to give the home that much modern look. Arches are elegant when they are designed properly. However, if their design aspect was only meant to keep up with what was a fad back then, then they need to be removed in favor of a square or rectangular entry point.
Home Renovations – Remodeling
As a homeowner, it is always fund to do home renovation projects as it not only help liven up the space, but it makes the home look newer and better. When it comes to home renovations, it is always a good idea to look into areas of the home that requires the most improvement. Of course, once you have improved that part, you don't have to think about it again until you've made improvements on all other areas of the home.
One of the least remodeled areas in the home will always be the kitchen. Since the kitchen space is a vital part of the home that is used regularly, you hardly think about doing any remodeling for your kitchen area because you always use it. However, if your kitchen is looking old, worn, and outdated, then maybe it's about time you considered doing some home renovations on your kitchen area.
In case you are not aware, the kitchen actually plays a very important role when it comes to assessing the overall value of your property. If your kitchen is old and all the appliances there are also decades old, then the value of your property will certainly drop. If you want to consider making your property very desirable again and have better property value, doing some kitchen remodeling may just be the best move you can do.
Of course, since you will be doing some kitchen remodeling, you need to replace the entire old appliance that you have in your kitchen. Replace them with more energy efficient and robust models that will last a long time. Consider stainless appliances with inverter technology so you can be sure they not only last long, but they also consume less energy giving you lower utility bills.
Aside from kitchen appliances, if you have the budget for it, consider having the kitchen cabinets replace to better ones. Newer kitchen cabinets not only provide you with better storage space, but you can also choose from an assortment of designs and colors that will go with the theme of the new kitchen you are looking for. Don't forget to all change the countertop and tiles of the kitchen along with the kitchen sink and the fixtures and fittings so you can have a more updated kitchen area, one that will make it more desirable for you to cook on.
Simple Home Improvement Ideas
Doing home improvement projects during your free time not only keeps you preoccupied, but it also helps in freshening up the overall looks of your home. A fresher new look not only makes your home look more appealing, but it may also enhance its overall value should you decide to sell it in the near future. The truth is that there are many types of home improvement ideas. There are simple ones that you can do yourself, and then there are more complicated ones where you need to hire professionals to help you accomplish your home improvement project. Then again, most of the time though, simple home improvement projects that you can do yourself are the most rewarding.
- Fixtures – homes have lots of fixtures. Door knobs, locks, drawer handles, faucets, lightings are all considered as fixtures. Changing these fixtures with more modern or classy ones will definitely create a change in the atmosphere of your home. Changing old light fixtures into more elegant ones will give your home a more stylish appearance.
- Paint – you can do full repainting of the interior, rooms, or just parts of the interior can make great changes to the overall appearance of your home. You can paint the cabinets, wood trims, or just certain sides of the walls can dramatically change the looks and appearance of your property. With paint, you can create astounding effects depending on the color of paint you use.
- Curtains – if your curtains are looking old and faded, replacing them with new and brighter ones will definitely create a livelier and brighter appearance to your home. Or if you want a more tranquil vibe, you can choose pastel and light-colored tones to create that calm and peaceful vibe to your interior.
- Carpets – by adding carpets to your living room area and your dining area, you create a color contrast to those spaces which helps to elevate their overall appearance and ambiance. You can never really underestimate the adding of carpets to certain areas of your home as they certainly add magic to the room's overall presence.
- Update – by updating some appliances and furniture of your home, you can create a new vibe that makes the interior of your home look more elegant and classy. New sofas, kitchen appliances, dining tables and chairs, buffet and side tables, tapestry, painting, and wall decorations can all create the new look you are looking for in your property.

Franken takes oath of office
Al Franken became Minnesota's second U.S. senator today, his hand holding the Bible that Paul Wellstone used when he was twice sworn into the Senate.
Vice President Joe Biden swore in Franken 246 days after the Nov. 4 election and 183 days since the 2009 Senate convened. The scene was the front of the U.S. Senate chamber.
Accompanied by Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and former senator and vice president Walter Mondale, Franken looked up at Biden and with the words "yes, I do" accepted the oath and became senator. He had nothing else to say.
The Senate chamber erupted in applause and Franken shook hands with his new colleagues, and received hugs from some, a ritual interrupted when he was called to return to the front of the chamber to briefly sign paperwork.
The oath, at 11:15 a.m. Minnesota time, ended the longest election effort the state has experienced. After the Nov. 4 election, all 2.9 million ballots were recounted. Then Norm Coleman challenged the recount in court.
A week ago today, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that Franken ruled Franken won the election by 312 votes.
Klobuchar, who has served as Minnesota's only senator since early January, welcomed Franken to the Senate, saying that while he is known for being a comedian, he took his campaign seriously and will do the same in his new job.
Klobuchar thanked her staff for dealing with twice the work after Coleman's term ended. "They never complained."
Minnesota's senior senator declared: "Al Franken is ready for this job."
She said that in the manner of Wellstone, who died in a plane crash shortly before the 2002 election, Franken will serve Minnesota well and treat people with dignity.
Franken will serve the remainder of a six-year term that began Jan. 3.
Republicans were tame in their reaction to the Franken swearing in, after more than a year of fierce attacks.
"Al Franken has the opportunity to erase the asterisk by his name by standing up for hard working Minnesotans against the liberal big spenders in Washington who are leaving future generations with crippling debt," Minnesota GOP Chairman Tony Sutton said. "At a time of great economic anxiety, we hope Al Franken will oppose future tax and spending increases and refuse to march in lockstep with those who continue to push us towards socialism."

A Lilly No NoJune 14, 2010
Damn, I wanted Lilly to get the no-hitter!
Not just because it was the White Sox, but because I fear Lilly could be dealt come July.
And whether Cubs fans want to recognize it or not, Lilly's the true ace of this staff. To trade him would be a mistake.
But there's no way the Cubs deal Lilly without backlash if he no-hits the cross-town rival.
A no-no might have been the only thing to make up for a season of virtually zero support from his mates, too.
Instead, it's a 1-0 win to go along with his second win of the season…a far cry from where his win total should be.
Maybe if the guy gets a little run support he relaxes to close out the final three batters. But as usual, the lineup left him hanging…and not just with the game on the line, either. No, not even with its best hurler on the mound, throwing a no-hitter, can the Cubs score runs.
Then there's Juan Pierre, a man who just loves torching the Cubs. First with Florida, then the 2006 season, and now this, breaking up Lilly's no-hit bid in the ninth…c'mon man!
Chad Tracy's backhanded snag at third wasn't exactly the DeWayne Wise catch in the Buehrle Game, but would've been the defensive gem remembered if Lilly throws the no-hitter.
Can't believe Lou leaves Lilly in the game after Pierre's single. Marmol almost blew it, which would have been so Cubs.

TAMPA, Fla. - A spokesperson for Carnival says another one of its cruise ships is having problems.
[READ: Carnival Dream passengers flown to Orlando]
The company says the Carnival Legend is experiencing a technical issue with one of the ship's Azipod units, which affects the vessel's sailing speed.
Carnival says the ship's safety systems and hotel services are all functioning normally.
The vessel made its scheduled call Thursday in Mahogany Bay, Roatan, in addition to visiting Cozumel and Costa Maya earlier in the week, said Carnival.
Because of the reduction in sailing speed, Carnival says Friday's visit to Grand Cayman has been cancelled and the ship will proceed to its homeport of Tampa, where it is expected to arrive on Sunday as scheduled.
Carnival says guests on the current voyage will receive a $100 per person credit and a full refund on pre-purchased shore excursions for Grand Cayman. In addition, guests will receive 50 percent off a future Carnival cruise.
Carnival Legend is currently on the last leg of a 7-day Caribbean cruise that departed Tampa on Sunday, March 10.

Godzilla's Opponents have Arrived with New Character Posters for GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS!
Christmas came early last week when Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures released both a new trailer and poster for next year's GODZILLA: KING OF MONSTERS. The eight year old boy in me immediately got uber excited and I cannot wait for the film to arrive next May. The new poster featured the film's star, the one and only Godzilla, in a massive picture of him ready to roar up into the heavens. Take a look at that one right below! Not to be outdone by the King, the film's other massive,

Well, Variety has reported that the future is well off for now as the shows will have to wait two years at the least before they can appear anywhere besides Netflix.

Freeport, Maine
Real Estate & Community Information
Freeport is located along the shores of upper Casco Bay, approximately 20 minutes north of Portland. It is best known for its upscale outlet shopping and as home to the world-famous L.L. Bean outdoor store. Locally owned shops offering Maine-made items can also be found throughout the downtown area. However, Freeport isn't all about shopping. The historical town is often credited as being the birthplace of the State of Maine. Many of the meetings leading up to the state's separation from Massachusetts in 1820 took place in Freeport's Jameson Tavern, which is still in operation today. A good number of the town's original schools, homes, and churches have been preserved and refurbished, thanks to a very active historical society. The town's dedication to historic preservation has also ensured that the old blends nicely with the new. Even the local fast food restaurants have a distinctively New England feel.
If visitors travel a bit off of the beaten path, they'll be pleasantly surprised at the amount of green space that has been preserved in this bustling town. Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park is one of several well-maintained parks and sanctuaries ideal for bird watching and hiking along the coast. One of Maine's most quirky attractions—the Desert of Maine—is also located in Freeport. The desert was once a fertile farm, but overproduction caused the topsoil to give way to sand. The sand eventually engulfed everything in its path.

I always see The Netherlands - my home country - as a small, easily graspable version of other, larger and more important western countries and even the west as a whole. In light of this, Tweakers.net's Arnoud Wokke points to a very interesting report about the Dutch telecommunications market. This reports notes a trend that, if present in the rest of the world, could have serious effects for phone makers.

RE[2]: carrier subsidies are essential
by Morgan on Mon 20th Aug 2012 18:28 UTC in reply to "RE: carrier subsidies are essential"
T-Mobile USA does this. Based on your credit score (and from my understanding their policy is very liberal) they give you an interest-free loan to get a more expensive phone. Your payments are spread out over the first six or so monthly bills.
Of course, the reason they do this is obvious; they want to sell you the most expensive phone they can. I'm very careful with my credit so I declined that offer back when I first joined T-Mobile, and opted to buy a lesser phone with the cash I had on hand. I didn't regret it as I was very satisfied with the phone (BB Curve 8520).

Magnussoft has explained their side of the story concering the recent split between them and Bernd Korz and the Zeta development team. "The archived sales figures of Zeta were far below Magnussoft's expectations. Continuation of financing the project is economically no longer viable. For the time being, Magnussoft discontinued funding of the Zeta development team on March, 16th 2007. The exclusive distribution agreement will remain unaffected. The existing contract is valid until the end of 2007."

- First Barcelona Test, Day One
Ricciardo pleased with aero baseline
- Drivers:
- Daniel Ricciardo
- Teams:
- Toro Rosso
Daniel Ricciardo said he is "pretty pleased" with the aerodynamic performance of the STR8 after the opening day at Barcelona.
Having completed 72 laps at the high-speed Circuit de Catalunya, Ricciardo ended the day sixth on the final time sheet, 1.1s slower than pace-setter Nico Rosberg. With the track offering an opportunity to really test the new car's aerodynamic properties, Ricciardo said the optimism he had carried over from Jerez remained.
"An area I've been pretty happy so far is that the high-speed stuff has been pretty good," Ricciardo said. "It was a bit more tricky today with conditions and with the tyres as well there's quite a bit of marbles and particularly the hard is not really in its working environment so some things you have to deal with in the winter. But generally aero baseline I'm pretty pleased. Obviously I don't know what the other guys have, but in terms of my knowledge from last year I think we're doing OK."
In an attempt to temper expectations, however, Ricciardo said Toro Rosso was not ahead of schedule with the car's development.
"I think at the moment it's probably going along the lines we expected. At the next test we're going to hope to make a step up again, so wherever we end up here we'll probably expect more from that next week. But I think for the moment we're realistically where we thought we'd be."

Small Cool 2010: Maddie & Mike's Stylish Scenarios
Who Lives Here: Maddie & Mike + 1 dog + 2 cats
Location: Upper West Side — NYC
Size: 504 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home? My favorite element is that we weave a lot of different inspirations into one setting: antiques like our rug, chain furniture like our couch, custom made furniture like our ottoman, family pieces like our hippo and E-bay finds like much of the art hanging on the walls. It's definitely a unique space that you won't find anywhere else!
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? The biggest challenge in our home is the narrow layout that has a galley kitchen on one side. It was very tricky to make distinct living spaces including a living room, place to eat and a place for our kitchen tools. We moved the furniture around many times. We also made style trays to see how the furniture would fit together before we made any big purchases. Sometimes I've gotten really stressed out about our home and won't invite people over. But, it's my husband who reminds me that there is so much love poured into each corner. Just seeing the pictures reminds me the story of each "scenario" in our home. Even though the floorplan isn't ideal, we've definitely made it into a place where we spend most of our time happily.

Government shutdown. The term sounds so ominous. A temporary end to all government services. How long will it last? What will the impact be on Joe Q. taxpayer?
One thing is clear: The division in Congress has pushed us to the brink of disaster once again.
This is nothing new to Americans, who have now faced four last-minute standoffs that have nearly ended in default or government shutdowns since 2011.
This time the culprit is Obamacare.
The political quarreling began as Republican members of Congress stated that they would agree to an increase in the debt limit in order to avoid a mid-October default only if Democrats agreed to a one-year delay of the health care law, a tax overhaul and a broad rollback of environmental regulations. Over the weekend, the House indeed voted to link further financing of the federal government to a one-year delay of the implementation of Obamacare.
The outspoken champion of this sentiment has been Conservative GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, who launched a 21-hour filibuster on the Senate floor in opposition to the Affordable Care Act. Before embarking on his one-man marathon, Cruz said, "I intend to speak in support of defunding Obamacare until I am no longer able to stand."
Well, he came close to my record.
Allowing a government shutdown is a terrible disservice to the American people. The economic consequences of not increasing the nation's $16.7 trillion debt limit would be devastating. The stock market and bond market, America's economic underpinnings, would be badly hurt. As a result, America would be viewed as a second-rate economic power. This would present long-term consequences that would be catastrophic to both the extreme right and extreme left of the political spectrum.
Democrats stood strong and rallied against Cruz's tactics, and have made it very clear that they have no intention of dismantling Obama- care, the president's top legislative achievement. House Speaker John Boehner has repeated that Republicans have no interest in defaulting on our debt. Republicans are wary of raising the limit without significant deficit-reduction measures, a very real concern.

I graduated from college in December 2003, and started working for global professional services company Accenture in January 2004. I used my very small signing bonus to go to the department store with my mom and buy a few suits, a pair of dress shoes and an overcoat. I was about to enter the corporate world for the first time, and I was going to look the part even if my nerves were trying to tell me otherwise.
After a few weeks of orientation and training, it was time for me to report to my first client project. I showed up in my new suit and shoes ready to conquer the world, or at least ready to avoid making a fool of myself on my first day. I met Jason, my manager, and he led me down a long hall and up two floors to meet the client, Rick.
We stopped at the cube of a tall, lean, older gentleman. I later found out that Rick was retired military and now worked in the IT department. He swiveled around in his desk chair to face Jason, took one look at me and stated that he did not want me on his team. I was mortified. How could I get dismissed within five minutes of my very first day at work? The color drained out of my face and my palms began to sweat as I began to wonder about what would happen next.
That's when I realized that my actions would have to speak louder than words, or, in this case, my outfit. I would need to prove to my client that I was not only worthy of being on his team, but also that I would become an indispensable member.
I went back to my desk and spent the next week pouring through training manuals for the new software the client was going to start using on his project. I developed and documented a strategy for how the team could use the tool as efficiently and effectively as possible. During the next several weeks, I trained more than 100 people at the company on how to use the tool, including Rick.
After six months, the project was completed successfully, and it was time for me to move on to my next assignment. I stopped by Rick's desk one last time to tell him goodbye. Rick swiveled around in his desk chair, stood up and embraced me in a bear hug. He told me that the team would not have been successful without me and wished me luck on my next assignment.
Work lessons applied in sport, life
I found that the lessons I learned at my first project also held true at horse shows, which are my passion. The riders with the most expensive helmet, the trendiest jacket and the fanciest boots were not always the ones who went home with the blue ribbons. It takes a lot of time and effort to be good at equestrian sports and there is no shortcut to the top. It is often the person who spends the most days at the barn, the most hours in the saddle, and the most time watching and learning from other riders who is successful at the end of the day.
Since I travel most weeks for work, I have to be creative about how I can find time to train with my horse. Recently, I took a trip to Monterrey, Mexico, to visit one of our IT Delivery Centers. On the last day of my trip, I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and traveled 12 hours to make it back to Kentucky. I got in my car at the airport and drove straight to the barn, changed into breeches and rode my horse. Was I tired?
Of course. Did I have a million things I needed to get done at home? You bet. But every hour I get to spend in the saddle brings me one step closer to achieving my equestrian goals.
So the next time things at work or at the barn seem particularly challenging or difficult, I'm not going to give up. I am going to take an honest look at the situation and possibly talk to a trusted co-worker or friend to see what I can do to put in the time to succeed.

Technologies for the future
We believe in innovation – with continued investments into research and development Liebherr-Transportation Systems design solutions and components for the future of the railway industry.
Liebherr's cold air systems only consist of a few components. They are not only of low weight, but also simple and inexpensive to service. In addition, the systems are characterized by very low operating costs and low energy consumption.
Originally, air cycle air conditioning technology was developed for the aerospace industry, where it has been used for more than four decades for air conditioning in aircraft. As one of the very first companies, Liebherr also began employing this technology in rail vehicle equipment. In 2002, Liebherr-Transportation Systems fitted a train of German operator Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) – an ICE 3 – with air cycle air conditioning systems for test runs. Additional fittings for the first model series as well as 13 eight-car trains of the second model series of the ICE 3 followed.Learn more about Liebherr's participation in the ICE 3
Environment-friendly and successful
Since then, the systems have proven extremely successful in DB's daily passenger transport operations. They are characterized, in particular, by their environmental friendliness, their robustness and their low operating costs. Furthermore, the energy consumption of air cycle air conditioning systems is extremely low compared with conventional systems. This has been verified, among other ways, through comparative measurements by DB.
The very successful results of the air cycle air conditioning systems are not only an affirmation for Liebherr-Transportation Systems, but also an incentive to work intensively on further developing air cycle technology and to make it usable for a wider spectrum of applications.
Liebherr-Transportation Systems have been selected by the rail vehicle manufacturer Bombardier Transportation GmbH of Mannheim (Germany) to develop and produce a compact and reliable cooling system for an innovative Li-Ion battery.
These batteries will be employed in the next generation of electric drive systems, which are set to power urban transit buses and light-rail vehicles in the future. The highly efficient cooling system will ensure that the battery runs under optimal thermal conditions. Prototypes of the system are being tested both at Liebherr's ultramodern test facilities and on demonstrator vehicles at Bombardier.
The Li-Ion battery is an integral component in Bombardier's highly innovative inductive battery charging system PRIMOVE®. This system enables the main battery of the electric drive system to be recharged without contact to the trolley wires, so the vehicle does not have to interrupt its operation. The battery charging system will play a major role in reducing CO2 emissions in urban traffic.
The Universal HVAC Standard for Multiple Railway Platforms
Liebherr-Transportation Systems has developed a modular air conditioning system which responds to the most challenging market requirements of the railway industry.
MACS 8.0 provides the highest degree of standardization. The modular architecture of MACS 8.0 allows flexibility and adaptability to serve diverse rolling stock applications.
- Multi-platform standard
- Standardized design
- Flexible configuration
- Flexible service concepts
- Availability secured by modularity
- Cost efficient operation
- Constantly evolving product
- Future-proofed HVAC standard anticipates new cooling technologies
Technical features
- Flat profile: just 220 mm high
- Weighs only 125 kg per module
- 70 % greater cooling power density
- 8 % less power consumption

Everyone did a fantastic job! Love all the papers and colors....Thank you everyone.
You are hereForums › Digital Scrapbooking › Digital Scrapbooking Discussion › PS April Blog Train Comments
PS April Blog Train Comments
@Violet, thanks so much! Yes, we did find the same deviant art kit...just loved it. It's fun how we interpreted it in different ways. I haven't actually unpacked any of the kits, so I haven't had a look at your glitter papers. I'm sure you're selling yourself short though...your work is always gorgeous!
I tried a ton of different tutorials for glitter and couldn't find one that I could either follow through completely nor liked the way it looked in the end. I finally sucked it up and bought glitter, photographed it (found that all you need to do is photograph the silver glitter) and then manipulated it in Photoshop. It was soooooo much faster and easier than any of the tutorials I tried. It still needs a bit of tweaking. Some colors don't look as realistic as others...but I did my best with it this time around.
Specifics for the glitter...
I filled in any extra edges that didn't have glitter using the clone tool. Make sure to have a hard brush...soft will make edges that blur. I also added a couple layers of Brooke's sparkle (forgot to add that to the list of credits...so sorry Brooke!!) With the second layer I flipped it 180 degrees so that the sparkles were in different spots.
Then when it came to recoloring, I had the glitter as the background and added a color overlay above it. With blending modes, I tended to shift between multiply, overlay, soft light, and color...depending on the specific color I was working with. Multiply almost always didn't work...but for some reason it did for just a few. After I found the closest to what I wanted, I would flatten the image and do auto contrast (seemed to bring out just a bit more sparkle). If it still didn't look right, I would tweak the levels a bit.
Ack, that was probably the worst tutorial ever...more of a rambling than anything else. Give a holler if you'd like any other specifics!
Oh, and of course, thank you so much for your kind words. I had a blast putting the kit together. I download tons of freebies and figure this is my way of giving back.
@Janet H. - that makes sense. Glad you pointed out the other site. I'll have to check it out for the next blog train.
amazing work everyone ... thanks for all the great pieces
Ladies, I haven't had time to download anything at all, but I wanted to give an overall "HOLY COW YOU ALL ARE AWESOME AND TALENTED" shout-out. If I only had a pinky's worth of your collective talent...
@Janet, no worries! I'm glad the sparkle brush was useful!
@Liz, thank you so much for the correct link. I had problems too so I am glad I could get this part too!
@Liz, thanks I tried looking for her blog, but to no avail. Thanks so much for directing us to the proper place!
Thank you very much, Liz!
Thanks to all the designers for the cute downloads! I've only made it about halfway through downloading so far, but I just wanted to share my blog with you! My new spring background and header is made with a couple of the designer's contributions and I mention pixel scrapper as well. Here it is.
Thank you Liz, I was hoping for the correct link! Much appreciated.
You are fantastic in the way you find links and give the correct one. I know you did that for me. Thank you!
WOW!! Amazing work everyone! Talk about a "Mega" kit. This has everything. Thanks everyone.
Thank you to Liz Smith for making my papers accessible. I love using tumblr but I didn't realize you had to have an account to view it. And I am a bit floored to see how long I have been absent. Time is passing too quickly for me....
Thank you Liz and just in case that still does not work, the file is located at http://www.mediafire.com/?ypej0p4zvt06ass
Glad to see you back here Molly
TYVM to Liz for the link of Molly's blog. Beautiful papers.
Guys, I feel so bad about all the trouble you had with my papers so I made a coordinating mini last night. But, new problem- I cannot make folders anymore- only briefcases- which I don't think is the same... so I uploaded the files to mediafire individually... DOWNLOAD YAY!- now you have the choice of individual files or a zip file...
Gorgeous kit Molly! Oh, and of course good to see you back.
@Janet- thanks!
Oh thank you Molly - I especially like the orange paper - lovely texture and the super zig zag paper. SO kind of you.
I have just finished opening all the kits. So many, but so much great stuff. I was amazed with each kit as I opened them. There is a lot of good stuff that I can used with other kits as well. I'm working with the Kid's art kit right now, but am excited to start with Birds and Bees. The ride itself was such a wonderful trip. Thank you again ladies.
i just wanted to say that the april blog train designs are wonderful! to everyone who contributed, thank you so much for your generosity!
The link for "Mollyscraps 4 You" is not working for me can anyone help me? This is the only one i need. I love all the other links they are GREAT!
Deona see post 97 or 106 above
Fabulous work designers! I loved them all! I was sad I couldn't get a few of the links to work. Celeste Acero and Harriett Humphries your links give errors to me. I've tried them a few times. Holly Wood and Lorien Rezende loved your stuff too just can't get WinRar to work for me. Thank you all for your fabulous talent!

If you right click on the file, does it not give you the option to extract? I've never had a problem with a rar file - windows handles them the same as a zip file & vice versa...
Dana, there is a link for downloading Winrar right underneath the download links for my kit. Did you see it? It is a free download and it takes just a few minutes to get it and install it. If you Google "how to open a rar file" there are links with other options and tutorials. Other than that, I will just say I am sorry you can't get it to work for you. I will share zips from now on and I wish I had realized a RAR file was going to be a problem for some people before making them and uploading them to MediaFire.
I downloaded ExtractNow for free online.... It opens EVERYTHING, which makes me happy. Just thought I'd pass that along if anyone's looking for a good "unzip" program. A designer referred me to it.
A big big thank you for all the wonderful contributions to this blogtrain. What a wonderful Mega-Kit

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Senior middle blocker Kisya Killingsworth (Deltona, Fla.) recorded 12 kills on .375 hitting to lead the sixth-ranked University of Florida volleyball team to a 3-0 (30-16, 30-25, 30-19) victory over Auburn on Sunday at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.
Killingsworth also added three block assists on her way to a match-high 13.5 points, while senior opposite hitter Amber McCray (Longview, Texas) chipped with 10 kills on a .421 hitting efficiency. Both players reached double-figure kill totals for the fourth-consecutive match.
Sophomore libero/defensive specialist Elyse Cusack (Melrose, Fla.) tied for match-high honors with 13 digs, while also adding five assists.
"We played very well in several aspects of the game today," Florida head coach Mary Wise said. "Elyse Cusack looked like the game was in slow motion for her today, and that starts a ripple effect for our hitters. We were able to score some big-time points with our attack, and anytime you can get three blocks a game, you know the defense is playing well."
Florida recorded 9.5 team blocks on the afternoon, led by four block assists each from sophomore middle blocker Kristina Johnson
(Indianapolis, Ind.) and senior setter Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.). Two days after posting the fourth triple-double in school history, McGinnis also added a match-high 35 assists, six kills and four digs.
Senior outside hitter Marcie Hampton (Gainesville, Fla.) had nine kills on the day, moving into sole possession of ninth place on the school's career chart. She also chipped in with eight digs and three block assists to finish the day with 10.5 points.
UF hits the court again on Friday night, traveling to Oxford, Miss., for a bout with Mississippi at 8 p. m. EST. The action can be heard on WRUF-AM 850, as well as www. GatorZone. com. GatorVision Online subscribers will also be able to view streaming video of the contest live on the Internet courtesy of the University of Mississippi.

Caputo, a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection, finished second at 184 pounds after falling to No. 4 Mike Cannon of American, 5-1, in the championship bout. Caputo, who is ranked sixth in the nation, earned a spot in the final after a sudden victory win over Lehigh's David Craig last night. Caputo is 22-3 on the season and has 125 career victories. He is a four-time EIWA placewinner.
Keith, who was unseeded in the tournament, knocked off the three seeded wrestlers over the two-day tournament to punch a ticket to the NCAAs. He beat third-seed Jasen Borschoff, 9-3, this morning for a chance to wrestle for third place. In the third place match, the Harvard freshman dominated No. 19 Joseph Langel of Rutgers, who was also the No. 2 seed, with a 16-0 technical fall in 3:11.
Harvard finished 11th overall with 52.5 team points.

Why does the Museum's Snowmastadon Project collect?
We just finished our first day of work with the Konovalenko
family. I conducted two hours of oral history with Anna
Konovalenko, the artist's wife; Rick Wicker photographed two
clay models of sculptures in the DMNS collection. The photos above
include overviews of Sauna I: The Thin and the Fat, and Sauna II:
Woman. Note the stunning close-up shot of the woman's face on
Rick's computer-- it's still clear that Konovalenko was able to put
emotion into clay! Tomorrow we focus on two sculptures that we have
never seen before. Stay tuned!

That's a wrap for Joy Behar, who left ABC's daytime gabfest "The View" on Friday after 16 years.
The hourlong farewell included celebrity appearances -- Regis Philbin, Meredith Vieira, Joan Rivers, Alan Alda and others -- as well as a tribute from cohost Barbara Walters, who discovered Behar doing standup at a birthday tribute for Milton Berle.
"I have to thank the most important people: My hair and makeup people," Behar joked.
"I'll be sexting every one of you in the fall," she told the show's crew.
Behar, who said she doesn't like sentimentality, nevertheless reciprocated after Walters tearfully said she loved her.
"The View" is in a period of transition, with Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck both leaving and Walters soon retiring. The hiring of Jenny McCarthy as a cohost earlier this summer provoked backlash due to her controversial views that vaccinations can cause autism.

Water Resources Research Center announces interim director appointmentUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Communications Leader, Sea Grant
Professor E. Gordon Grau, director of the University of Hawai'i Sea Grant College Program, has been named interim director of the Water Resources Research Center at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
The Water Resources Research Center concentrates on addressing the unique water and wastewater management problems facing people in the Pacific. It serves the State of Hawai'i as well as other Pacific islands and elsewhere by researching water-related issues distinctive to these areas.
The main focuses of the center are to coordinate and conduct research to identify, characterize and quantify water-related problems in Hawai'i; assist Pacific Island and Asian governments facing water problems similar to those in Hawai'i; and facilitate access to interdisciplinary expertise within the university to enhance understanding of environmental problems and to identify effective solutions.
Said Grau, "Water is life. I am not the first person to say this, but it is the basis for all living systems on earth and yet something we take for granted. Throughout the world, and in Hawai'i in particular, water is a finite resource that we must conserve and protect if we are to sustain life as we know it."
Grau is a Maryland native who has lived in Hawai'i for over 35 years. During his tenure as director, he positioned UH Sea Grant at the forefront of the 33 Sea Grant programs nationwide by organizing the program around the theme of coastal communities and economies. Through Sea Grant and now the Water Resources Research Center, Grau is working to advance coastal communities that are economically prosperous, socially and culturally inclusive, and which have the smallest environmental footprint.

New websiteMay 24th, 2008
Anyone who hit the "project web site" button on the sourceforge page or tried to access http://st-m.sourceforge.net/ will have noticed that he came on a different web page. I suggest you get used to it since that's the new Startup Manager website. It is accessible through http://startupmanager.org/ and is hosted by 1 & 1 Internet inc.
Our goal with this new website was to provide a fresh and modern looking design to anyone who is interested. The website uses WordPress as backend and is designed by George French (aka Deimnos).
As of today the new website replaces the old one, but it is not yet completely finished. The download page still needs some final touches and the wiki section isn't implemented yet.
Enjoy the new website and the 2.4.1 Startup Manager release. And as always; all comments are appreciated.

Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat
On Partial
Equation of Gauge
Theories and General Relativity
New Orleans, Louisiana 1986
YVONNE CHOQUET-BRUHAT was born in Lille, France in 1923. She received her Baccalaureat (secondary school diploma) in 1941 and won the second prize in physics in the Concours General, an examination given to the best students in the country. In 1946, she received her Agregation de Mathernatique, first class, and in 1951, her Docteur des Sciences.
Choquet-Bruhat began her teaching career as a teaching assistant at the Ecole Normale Superieure in 1946. From 1949 to 1951, she was a research assistant and then a research associate at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. She spent 1951-1952 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and in 1953 joined the Faculte des Sciences de Marseille. She taught at the Universite de Riems from 1958 to 1959, and since 1960 has been Professeur Titulaire (professor with full tenure), first at the Faculte des Sciences de Paris and then at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, where she is now professor emeritus.
During her career, Choquet-Bruhat has received many honors and established an international reputation. She was elected to the French Academy of Sciences in 1979 and to the Arnerican Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1985. She has been a member of the Comite International de Relativite Generale et Gravitation since 1965 and served as its president from 1980 to 1983. She has three children, two daughters and a son.
Mathematical physics is the focus of Choquet-Bruhat's research interests, which include partial differential equations on manifolds and applications of problems arising from fundamental physics:general relativity, relativistic fluids, magneto fluids and plasmas, supergravities, and gauge theories. She has written nearly two hundred papers and a research monograph (Graded Bundles and Supermanifolds). The most recent of her five textbooks are Analysis, Manifolds, and Physics, Part I, Foundations, and Part II, 92 Applications, written in collaboration with Cecile Dewitt Morette, professor of physics at the University of Texas at Austin. Choquet-Bruhat's Noether Lecture was a survey of results about the local and global existence of partial dilferential equations that govern the relativistic classical fields.

– Bit by bit, the walls are closing in on Hillary Rodham Clinton. By just about every measure, including total votes, total delegates, and money raised, she is trailing Barack Obama in their pitched battle for the Democratic presidential nomination. And in the most important category where she's still ahead – superdelegates – her lead is shrinking.
Thus far this week, three superdelegates – party leaders and elected officials who can support whomever they want at the August convention – have broken for Senator Obama while Senator Clinton hasn't won any. It is highly unlikely that Clinton can overtake Obama in the "pledged delegate" count – those won in primaries and caucuses – but it is also impossible for Obama to secure the nomination just on pledged delegates. Thus, the superdelegates will decide the nomination.
Thursday's stunning announcement that Obama had raised more than $40 million in March, with 218,000 new donors that month, dealt another blow to Clinton. Her campaign has not released its own March figure yet, but said it will come in below Obama's.
So, can Clinton actually still win the nomination? In theory, yes, analysts say. But she would have to win just about every remaining contest, and then persuade enough superdelegates that she has a better chance than Obama of beating the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, in November.
The easiest way for that to happen would be for a bombshell revelation or major gaffe by Obama that would cause delegates, and voters – as reflected in national polls – to abandon the Illinois senator. Short of that scenario, Clinton and her team are fast running out of options.
"She would pretty well have to run the table after winning Pennsylvania convincingly," says Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University.
"Convincingly" means by double-digits, he says. Then Clinton would have to pull off an upset in North Carolina (May 6) or Oregon (May 20), where Obama is favored. "Most people looking at the last 10 events or so see a bit of an edge for Clinton, but with Obama having significant places to look for wins as well," Mr. Jillson adds.
For now, though, the trends seem to be heading in Obama's direction – even in Pennsylvania, where polls showed Clinton with a lead in the mid-to-high teens until recently. The latest Quinnipiac Poll shows Clinton with a nine-point lead in Pennsylvania, a figure that makes sense to political analysts in the state.
Pennsylvania's demographics – large populations of working-class, older, and Roman Catholic voters – play to Clinton's advantage. But a wave of new registrations in the state could spell trouble for her, as the Obama campaign has worked hard to identify new voters. "[Pennsylvania] is absolutely critical for her," says Terry Madonna, head of the Franklin and Marshall College Poll. "I think she wins here, but for the first time, I'm thinking he could upset her. It's a long-shot, but I see a way."
Several weeks ago, Mr. Madonna laid out a path to victory for Obama in Pennsylvania in a column on Realclearpolitics.com. The path is, ironically, one that Gov. Ed Rendell – a Clinton supporter – carved out in 2002 in his gubernatorial nomination battle with now-Sen. Bob Casey, who recently came out for Obama.
Governor Rendell succeeded by concentrating his efforts (and winning big) in his base areas (Philadelphia and its suburbs); winning big in swing areas; and managing turnout statewide, in part by registering new voters.
Still, Clinton remains a strong favorite in Pennsylvania – and thus, her campaign is likely to survive at least into May. Ken Smukler, a Democratic consultant in Philadelphia, warns against reading too much into the fluctuations in polls. "My sense is this electorate is very volatile right now," he says. And, he adds, "the newly registered voters are not being sampled in any poll right now. One could argue they're Obama voters."
But he also won't count Clinton out. And he believes, despite Obama's money edge, Clinton will have enough to match him on TV in Pennsylvania.
The Clinton team is adamant that the superdelegates will, after all the votes are cast, "do the right thing" for the party and for the country. In a conference call Thursday, campaign spokesmen once again argued that Clinton is more electable, citing polls that show her beating Senator McCain in key states, such as Florida and Ohio, while Obama loses.
"Senator Obama's lead is almost entirely from caucuses," says Mark Penn, a senior Clinton strategist. "Will he have a lead at all coming out of the high turnout primaries? That's certainly up for grabs, and we'll see what comes out after this next run of states, as well as who's in a better position then to take on and beat Senator McCain."
According to the Associated Press, Obama leads in the overall delegate count 1,634 to 1,500, with 2,024 needed to secure the nomination. Clinton leads in superdelegates, 250 to 220 out of a total 794. In the popular vote, Obama leads by about 700,000, but that does not include the votes in Michigan and Florida, which were held outside party rules. But even counting Clinton's votes in both states, she still does not catch up to Obama.
In the race for uncommitted superdelegates, Obama has scored three this week – Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Gov. Dave Freudenthal of Wyoming, and former Montana Sen. John Melcher. Obama was also endorsed by the Democratic co-chair of the 9/11 commission, former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, who is not a superdelegate but who is a respected foreign-policy figure in the Democratic Party. His state's primary, on May 6, could be crucial to Clinton's hopes.

God, I LOVE October. I can finally wear my (extensive) collection of coats and boots! I'm pulling in teaching money! My supervisor isn't abroad! Life is good. And after ruining my nails decorating I've been taking the opportunity to file them down and pull out the vamps. I don't like wearing dark colours when my nails are long because it makes me feel like a try-hard. But I love them on shorties, and October is the perfect season to start wearing them!

Wapak schools to hire new treasurer
An employee of the state of Ohio Auditor's Office working in the region is expected to be hired as the new treasurer of Wapakoneta City Schools.
The district's Board of Education members are expected to vote on the position today during their regular monthly meeting to be held at Wapakoneta Elementary School.
If approved, Angie Sparks would be paid a salary of $71,000 beginning June 1 on a three-year contract. Beginning April 8 she would be working in the school district's treasurer's office training under Treasurer Susan Rinehart, who is set to retire at the end of May. Sparks' rate of pay during the training period would be $250 per day.
Wapakoneta City Schools Superintendent Keith Horner said they had approximately eight candidates for the position.
"We did an in-depth statewide search and she had the credentials," board President Eric McKinniss said. "I think we are very fortunate to have found someone local with a lot of working years ahead of her."
McKinniss said while Rinehart's shoes are going to be hard to fill, he thought Sparks could step up and do a good job in the role.
Sparks, 36, a graduate of Botkins High School and Bluffton College, has worked for the state Auditor's Office for 14 years in Auglaize, Allen, Hardin and Shelby counties, auditing local government offices, including Wapakoneta City Schools.
She and her husband, Mike, live in the school district and their two daughters, Hanna and Audrey, attend Wapakoneta Elementary School.
"I am ready for a different challenge," said Sparks, who completed two required courses and trained under Rinehart for 300 hours beginning last year.
"I am ready to be at one place," said Sparks, who has knowledge of what is required of the role from her previous position.

Share this 28 NOV 2016 By: John Forrest Teresa Hitchcock Richard Woolich In today's fast paced global economy, success or failure is often determined by the performance of the supply chain. Whether it be speed to market, raw material sourcing, access to new markets, or cost control, the supply chain is no longer a support function but is central to the operation of businesses operating internationally. The UK's decision to leave the European Union will have a significant impact on businesses that operate in and trade with the UK and the EU. It is critical, now more than ever, that those businesses understand and anticipate the likely impacts of Brexit on their supply chain management. Proactive businesses will be best placed to meet the challenges and maximise the opportunities of Brexit. With an international team, DLA Piper has local lawyers on the ground to help clients identify opportunities and resolve issues and uncertainties in any part of their supply chains wherever in the world they arise and in whatever industry. We can provide you with one team to guide you through your entire supply chain and it is our aim to cut our clients' costs and reduce their risk.
