Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
A rural area in England which was way behind the times.
When Gordon Pattison was sent to Marwood to investigate rural affairs on behalf of the Government, he was astonished by what he found. And why was he continually asked if he was going to Maddy's wedding? Who was Maddy anyway?
In spite of his best efforts his task was rapidly proving difficult. But then the people of Marwood had help from a source he could never have imagined. And events took a very strange turn.
What we need, the PM announced slowly to his Number One,
is a nice juicy scheme that will set half the population at the throats of the rest. That's the way to make sure they are too self-absorbed to notice what we're doing.
And what exactly is that Prime Minister? Just so I have it clear in my mind.
His grin was wicked.
Doing what suits us best of course; pay rises, expenses and travelling the world free of charge of course. A few laws here and there to keep us occupied too, and in our favour naturally.
Sir Christopher's mouth twisted into a knowing smile.
What did you have in mind, Prime Minister?
Well the smoking ban was unsuccessful as they gave in too easily. I had anticipated the smokers here would have been more like the French and disregarded the law. That would have been the ideal but regrettably it just didn't happen. Lethargy. That's the great downfall of the English.
English, Prime Minister?
"Sorry. I should have said British, shouldn't I? Forgot myself for a moment. Old habits etc.
There's always the pensioners, Sir Christopher tried to be helpful.
"Been there. Done that. It didn't work. We tried low interest rates to reduce their income; even taking their property when they became sick or disabled. But they were the only ones to complain. It didn't upset anyone else, you see, so it was a failure. Always remember, Number One, 'divide and rule'.
And so your latest idea is ..?
This time we need to target a specific group and wham into them with some campaign or other, as with smoking, until they are really feeling persecuted by the rest. We have to be subtle though. The health route is always good to go down – their actions are damaging the health of others, that sort of thing. He stroked his goatee beard thoughtfully.
The actual idea and implementation I intend to leave to you, Number One. I would suggest you have a man of your choosing in the field to do some digging around for you. Someone trustworthy who can suss out the opinions of the locals and advise you on what might be most divisive.
Mmmm.... I think I know just the man.
Yes? The PM was expectant.
Gordon Pattison. Pliable sort of chap who can mix with all sorts.
I leave it to you then, Sir Christopher... that'll be all for now. Good morning.
Gordon Pattison was disturbed from his slumber by the persistent ringing of the telephone. Sitting up in bed, he reached for his glasses, fumbled to put them on, and answered in a bleary voice:
Sir Christopher here. I've a little job for you, whereupon he proceeded to outline the PM's wishes. "You are my man in the field, Gordon. I want you to have a little holiday, backpacking or whatever, and take yourself off to one of these hamlets for the purpose. You can go this weekend and take as long as you need but I should warn you, the PM has a bee in his bonnet over this, so no unnecessary dawdling, right? Divide and rule, remember.
But we're flying to Madeira on Sunday for our winter break, Gordon protested in vain.
I can't possibly...
Oh I think you can, Gordon. PM's orders and all that. Madeira can wait. He can't.
We've paid. It's all booked, he added weakly. There was no arguing with Sir Christopher, any more than there was the PM. Madeira had become nothing more than a dream of what-might-have-been, and he knew it.
Too bad. Claim it back on expenses, was Sir Christopher's response, before he launched into a detailed explanation of the reasons for the trip and exactly what the PM wished him to achieve.
This weekend then, Gordon. He's not fussy where but would prefer the south-east as it has the greatest mix of people: young, old, wealthy, poor, businessmen and the unemployed. Get my drift? Take Margaret if you want. And email your reports on a regular basis as I shall need to keep him up to speed.
The line went dead and Gordon was left holding the buzzing receiver and biting his lip. His wife was beginning to stir.
Margaret, he said softly,
I've got something to tell you.
We're going on holiday.
I know. Go back to sleep.
Not to Madeira. It's better than that. It's all expenses paid.
She rolled over to face him, rubbing her eyes.
What are you on about?
Backpacking in the south-east. At least it will be backpacking to start with, after that it's up to us. It's our cover.
She was fully awake now, and was not happy. She was not an outdoorsy person, she protested. How could he have agreed to this? Didn't he have any say in his own life? He deserved a break – in Madeira – not in some off the beaten track part of England, posing as a backpacker. At their age? It was ridiculous. He must ring Sir Christopher at once and put his case strongly. Or she would.
It was with great difficulty that Gordon prevented Margaret from doing just that, and for the rest of the morning they were not on speaking terms. She banged things about in the kitchen while he tried to concentrate on his maps. But there was no getting out of it. Refuse and he risked losing his position and possibly even his pension, and eventually they were both resigned to taking an unwanted expenses paid holiday in the quiet byways, the only consolation being that Madeira was not an impossible dream, just a delayed one.
By afternoon a fragile truce had been called and they drove into town to buy the necessary equipment: ruck-sacks, umbrellas, khaki shorts, stout boots and all the rest. It sent Margaret into a spiral of depression. It was a far cry from her designer dresses and stilettos and she felt awkward and uncomfortable. She also bought thick cardigans as she had no intention of being cold. But honestly! Cardigans on a fashionable woman! It was outrageous. Matters didn't improve when they were home, either. Margaret wanted to take her make-up case but Gordon insisted it would be quite out of keeping with their new personas. In fact, she couldn't wear make-up at all as healthy outdoor complexions were required to complete their ensembles in a believable way. It was then that Margaret's anger finally broke free in tears of frustration.
I'll never vote for that man again! was the best she could conjure at that moment.
That's all right, Margaret. If we don't succeed in our mission you probably won't have to.
Sir Christopher had sent a chauffeur driven limousine to collect them on Sunday morning and transport them to their destination of choice. The driver was more than a little surprised when they emerged from their large house in the suburbs wearing shorts and cagoules.
Luggage, Sir?
Just these, Gordon replied, handing him the heavy rucksacks.
Where to, then?
Gordon produced his map on which he had marked a couple of crosses in red.
Start here, he pointed,
but if that doesn't suit us we'll go on to here, he added, indicating the second cross. The driver's eyes widened but he said nothing, set his Satnav and they were underway.
Margaret was silent for most of the journey although Gordon constantly tried to reassure her.
We won't be long. Just get this job over and done with and then it's due south for us. She was not consoled, so he tried again.
This could be quite a pleasant place. Inland yes, but near enough to the coast for you to find some decent shops.
She was staring out of the window at flashing images of south London until they rapidly disappeared and gave way to longer and longer stretches of greenness. Most of the journey was in sulking silence but on the one occasion she did speak, it was barbed.
If my mother could see me now, she'd wonder why I ever married you. And so do I, Gordon!
A couple of hours later the car slewed to a halt in a lay-by on a busy road.
Been told not to go into any villages but to drop you off at the nearest point, the driver explained.
This seems to be about as close as I can get, Sir. You'll need to go left at the next turn-off, then it looks about a mile or two into Marwood from there. Bit of a bendy old road but you should find it easily enough.
They were disgorged from the warm comfort of the limousine and left standing in the lay-by, heavy bags on their backs, watching as the driver vanished into the traffic on the A-road.
Up here, turn left, Gordon began to stride out, map in hand, with an unwilling Margaret trailing behind.
Come on, old girl. Shouldn't be too far.
But it was. On entering the left turn the road became narrower with only a large house on one side and waste lands which spread further and further apart until there was nothing but hedges and fields which seemed to stretch for an endless distance and which wound around. To Gordon and Margaret it appeared they were walking in circles. Then it was uphill to a row of terraced cottages and on again.
Margaret was weary. She never walked from choice. Not anywhere. And the flat boots made her legs ache unbearably. Neither was Gordon faring much better. He didn't walk much either, and the hills were taking a toll on him.
Can't be much further, he panted,
I think that's a crossroads ahead. It probably means we arrived. But it didn't. It pointed to another lane marked
Marwood but gave no indication of distance.
See? he was falsely optimistic,
no mileage given so we must be on the outskirts.
Margaret said nothing. Neither did she stop to look at the sign post, but plodded on in zombie fashion. She knew if she halted for even a second, she wouldn't be able to get moving again.
There were further green fields with nothing more interesting than sheep; the odd farm building here and there, and dried mud tractor tracks to assure them other humans were somewhere around. Then the hedges gave way to trees, great dark hulks overhanging the lane and shutting out the daylight. When they emerged from the tunnel of foliage, a road sign met them announcing their arrival.
Marwood! We've made it, Gordon would have hopped with joy if he'd had the energy,
come on, Margaret. You'll feel better after you've had a cup of coffee and something to eat.
A further half hour's tramping and they arrived at The Green Dragon. There was no sign of life and the door of the pub was locked.
There's got to be someone around, he tried to console himself.
I rang ahead and booked us in for a few days bed and breakfast.
Margaret was sitting on her rucksack.
They're probably all in church, she said.
Wait! I think I can hear someone inside.
He banged louder on the door and could detect bolts being drawn back and a key turning.
Yes? Mrs Danson stood in the doorway, her hair in curlers and a pink mesh hairnet covering the whole,
We're not open. You'll have to go on to Shepherds Corner if you want a drink.
But you don't understand, Gordon protested,
it's Mr and Mrs Pattison. We're booked in here for a few days. B and B.
Oh bless you! What must you think of my manners? You'd better come in and rest yourselves.
She held the door wide open and they strolled in to the little bar, their eyes gradually becoming accustomed to the darkness. Against one wall were a couple of booths each with an oak table and settle, and small round tables and stools were scattered across the remainder of the room.
You take the weight of your feet and I'll fetch you something to eat, she offered.
Tea or coffee?
Gordon ordered two white coffees as they settled themselves in one of the side booths. Their feet were throbbing and Margaret untied her boots and kicked them off. She preferred to go about in socks and risk splinters from the wooden floor than wear those things for one more minute.
I don't suppose there's any chance of breakfast, is there? he asked Mrs Danson, more in hope than expectation.
Oh I think I could manage the traditional fry-up if you want. I expect you're pretty hungry after your exercise?
Sounds wonderful, he answered, and while he and Margaret waited an age to be served, they drank their coffees in silence they began to feel almost human again. He tried to break the tension by commenting on the delights of the pub; wondering if their room would have the same low doorways and beamed ceiling and all the rest, but his weary wife was uncommunicative and still sulking from Sir Christopher's imposition. She was thinking of Madeira. They would have been there by now. Doing the shops in Funchal no doubt, or taking a taxi up to the Nun's Valley to enjoy the scenery. Instead they were imprisoned for several days in a pokey pub, so dim one could hardly see a hand in front of one's face and with barely another soul about. Some holiday this was going to be.
The 'full-English' breakfast eventually arrived and Mrs Danson carefully placed a plate before each of them. Sausage, slice of bacon and tomato with a slice of fried bread.
There! she said,
that should put hairs on your chest.
Gordon stared at the plate.
I think you've forgotten the eggs? he asked.
Oh no I haven't. But it's Sunday!
What's that got to do with it?
Everything. Mustn't break eggs on a Sunday or the roof'll fall in. Didn't you know that? and she retreated to the nether regions of the pub muttering something about
strangers and
don't know nothing.
What they did have tasted good and they were both feeling somewhat revived when Mrs Danson re-emerged an hour later.
S'ppose you'd better see your room? she asked, clearing away the empty plates.
Daniel – Mr Danson – will show you.
A short man with a pronounced stoop seemed to materialise from nowhere, his grey hair dishevelled and his hands trembling slightly. The onset of Parkinsons Disease, Gordon assumed.
Follow me. Gathering up the rucksacks and Margaret's boots, he led them towards the staircase at the back of the bar and up to a couple of bedrooms and a shared bathroom on the first floor.
That's yours, he pointed directly opposite. Mrs and me is right next door to you if you want anything in the night." Then he closed the door and left them to it.
The room was dominated by a high Victorian bedstead covered with a pink eiderdown, and matching curtains hung at the window, which was on the floor and necessitated bending double to see out. In the corner was a washstand, a jug and a clean towel.
"Is this... is this... it?
Margaret was appalled. She was sitting on the edge of the bed to the accompaniment of loudly creaking springs. Gordon! Are you listening to me?"
He wished he wasn't and in that moment was wondering whether they should go on to the other place he had marked on the map, even though it would mean hiking several miles. He dare not suggest that to Margaret now. She would probably de-camp at once.
We're here now, so best make the most of it for a couple of days. Hopefully I can get the business done by then and we'll get back to London. It did little to console his wife, however, who issued the stern warning that he'd better make darned sure he did. Or else.
I think I'll join you, he went on,
a couple of hours shut-eye and we'll both be feeling better.
It was as he was climbing up into the bed that his foot banged against something hard and bending over to see what it could have been, he produced a large china chamber pot which he held aloft in amazement.
Margaret saw it and wailed.
Oh no, Gordon! This really is too much to bear!
In spite of their misgivings, they both fell asleep almost at once, the unaccustomed exertion proving too much for their suburban bodies, and it was not until early evening that Gordon opened his eyes. There were voices and noises coming from below as the evening bar had opened up. He nudged Margaret awake.
Time to meet the locals, he said.
I'm hungry.
Me too. Perhaps they know of somewhere we can get a bite. I'll ask.
And if not?
Don't be pessimistic. There's bound to be somewhere. They all eat, don't they?
But not eggs. Not on a Sunday.
Margaret rummaged in the depths of her rucksack, thankful that'd she had the foresight to pack her cosy slippers and the thick cardigan. Then they went downstairs to be greeted by an awkward abrupt silence as the locals weighed them up.
It was Ellie - Mrs Danson - who broke it by announcing that Mr and Mrs Pattison would be staying in the area for a few days and as good Marwoodians, they should all make them welcome, to which there was a murmur of consent.
I was wondering, Gordon began, his the sole voice in the bar,
is there anywhere round here we could get something to eat. We're both starving.
A sympathetic murmur ensued but it was Mrs Danson who again jumped to the rescue, saying she had the leftovers of a large steak and ale pie if that would suit them.
Sounds wonderful, Gordon answered

Hello! My name is Lori Greenberg, and I am the proud owner of Tiny Chateau Greenberg. I've never written a blog post before, but I decided it would be worthwhile to communicate with people who are considering building a tiny house.
For me, the experience of watching my cottage develop has been absolutely fantastic! I've seen it grow from a hole in the ground, to a concrete foundation, to a wood frame. It's so exciting to view the progression! I've been able to observe absolutely every phase of the construction. I eagerly look forward to coming home from work each day to see (and photograph) any changes. I love to send the photos to my children (Jacob, age 20 and Joshua, age 27) so they can see the development of the cottage.
Henry Moseley has been amazing to work with! He takes the time to answer all of my questions, and believe me, I ask a hell of a lot of questions. Thus far, I haven't experienced any problems with the construction. What surprised me the most is that, some days, such as when they work on the plumbing, there aren't a lot of visible changes. However, on other days, such as when the framing was erected, the cottage undergoes dramatic and noticeable changes.
I'm passionate about tiny houses for several reasons. I love the idea of utilizing fewer resources. Tiny homes use a fraction of the building materials than larger homes require. Additionally, one needs to use much less electricity to heat and/or cool a small dwelling. By using smaller amounts of concrete, lumber, shingles, drywall, flooring, etc., and by using less electricity, I can minimize my impact on the environment. As a bonus, I'm also able to save a lot of money! Compared to conventionally-sized homes, tiny homes are way less expensive to build and maintain.
Furthermore, tiny homes are the perfect solution for multi-generational housing. Due to advances in medicine, people now have longer lifespans. However, as they age, they often require some sort of assistance from family members. Many seniors are on fixed incomes and are unable to afford private caregivers. Consequently, aging parents may need to move in with their adult children (or in my case, I moved to my parents' house). I love my parents, but it would be unpleasant for us to live together in the same house, as we argue quite a bit! By having a cottage in their backyard, I'm completely accessible to them, yet I have my own private space. Perfect!
Honestly, I think that tiny homes can fill a huge need for so many different people for so many different reasons. Young single adults or couples with limited budgets, people concerned about the environment, older adults with aging parents…. tiny homes would be great for any of them. I hope that cities around the country understand the benefits of tiny houses and update their antiquated zoning laws accordingly!

How to Protect Yourself from Deadly Viruses such as SARS, Ebola, and Swine Flu
With all the recent virus scares that have been going around over the past 10 or 15 years such as Swine flu (H1N1), Avian Flu, SARS, and now Ebola, many people are wondering what they can do to protect themselves from these potentially deadly viruses. Although there are some vaccines available, they are often ineffective or in short supply, and many of them carry toxic ingredients that are as dangerous as the virus itself.
So what can you do to protect yourself and your family? Seriously, everyone can't go around in plastic bags nor can we live like hermits and no one wants to walk around like Michael Jackson wearing surgical masks and gloves, spraying Lysol on everything.
Well, don't worry, there are plenty of things you can do to protect yourself and still live a normal life. Keep reading for the important facts that you need to know to keep you and your family safe in these uncertain times.
1. Stop Suppressing Your Immune System
When it comes to viruses, your first line of defense is your immune system. Unfortunately, many of us have compromised immunes systems due to our eating habits and the toxins in our environment. So stop causing damage to your immune system and avoid the following:
- Alcohol
- Corn/Soy/Gluten ( these are all GMO)
- Hydrogenated foods and oils
- Highly processed foods
- Sugar
- Artificial sweeteners
- Excessive consumption of animal protein
- Chronic stress
- Excessive EMF exposure
- Lack of vitamin D supplements or limited sun exposure

following my bullish standpoint on EEM, I think BABA will be the leader. Reasons for this setup is similar to those in the EEM trade idea I just posted
BABA, D1: Downtrend forming on D1.
BABA has reversed off its resistance at 169.92 (100% Fibonacci extension, 50% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing high resistance) where it could potentially reverse down to its support at 156.44 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal pullback support). Stochastic (55, 5, 3) has reversed off its resistance at 96% where a corresponding reversal could occur.
See Chart. Cheers. Matt.
Rising Wedge leads to bearish breakout. Quick short early this week.
BABA Trading Bias: Long Technical Strategy: Completed Harmonic Crab + Resistance line breakout
BABA tested resistance at 160.08 (100% & 61.8% Fiboancci extension, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal overlap resistance) where price could fall to its support at 143.11 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing low support). Stochastic (55, 5, 3) is testing its resistance and a corresponding drop could occur.

Chinese MNCs Offer a New Direction for Senior Finance Professionals
With the continuing trend for international multinational companies to relocate their headquarters to Singapore or Shanghai, remaining finance directors need to be flexible if they are to make the transition into a sustainable career progressing position. With many roles moving locations, the market currently holds limited opportunities for senior professionals in Hong Kong.
Chinese multinational companies can offer attractive positions and packages to director level candidates with strategy, finance and business partner experience in an international MNC. These large-scale systematic and process-driven businesses present an opportunity for candidates that have proven experience in building processes and internal controls. However, we have seen a reluctance on the part of candidates to take up these offers based on their perception that the transition will be too difficult. That the working environment, language requirements and cultural fit won't be a match. But how justified are these concerns?
From a language perspective, Mandarin is highly desirable. However, regional director level positions within international MNCs often demand this as well, so the skill set is present. Candidates do need to be open to using their Mandarin more but can be reassured that English remains the official business language.
In terms of workplace culture, the larger Chinese MNCs have a very international outlook and far from being stable corporations with limited opportunities for growth, they are often experiencing fast expansion. To support this, they require strategy and finance directors that are flexible in mindset, can operate in ambiguous market conditions and are able to change and adapt. This makes for a dynamic work environment led by talented colleagues.
In many ways the perception of Chinese MNCs being 'local' and offering a working environment that is difficult to integrate into, do not match reality. In fact, they offer exactly the challenge and demand for innovation that senior level finance, strategy and accounting professionals are looking for. To progress their career to the next level following the relocation of their position, we certainly advise finance directors to remain open and flexible when selecting their next role.
For a frank discussion on how your profile might match current opportunities within Chinese MNCs, please do get in touch.

just-style management briefing: The key focus for software investments
By Leonie Barrie | 4 May 2011
Where should apparel firms be focusing their software investments now if they want to remain competitive into the future? According to industry experts consulted by just-style, technology agendas should include strong core business systems, better use of business analytics, and integrated PLM, sourcing and supply chain capabilities.
Bob McKee, industry strategy director for fashion, Lawson Software
The focus should be on the basics first. If you don't have a strong base technology, you're wasting effort on something more sophisticated. You can't collaborate externally if you still can't collaborate internally. You can't build a strong structure on shifting sand, so if you don't have strong core business systems you'll never get to a point where you can either trust the information you're getting, nor will you be able to effectively share your information with your supply chain partners.
Your - and your supply chain partners' - technology has to be focused on your shared customers/consumers. No one makes any money until the consumer makes a decision and pays!
Other focus areas include:
- The systems and information to support inventory visibility, the balancing of inventory risk at retail, and to handle volatile demand.
- Strategic sourcing initiatives are increasingly important as costs escalate in traditional low cost destinations such as China. This requires the support of strong base technology.
- Multichannel sales - most companies start with e-commerce, some develop their own retail division, others offer franchising, open concession stores or provide vendor managed inventory services to their customers. All require the appropriate infrastructure and IT support.
Susan Olivier, director of retail, footwear and apparel market development, Dassault Systèmes Enovia
When prioritising investments, many CIOs still consider ERP systems a primary way to encourage efficiency and improve the bottom line. What they often don't realise is that PLM has a strategic opportunity to impact the top line as well as the bottom line and drive increased sales.
Fashion CIOs should look at shorter time-to-market as one of the best opportunities for their company. If you can reduce time-to-market, you really improve your ability to recognise and respond to fashion and sales trends. PLM helps give companies time back to test and chase their "winners," making more of what consumers will pay for, which drives sales and reduces markdowns. At the same time, fewer samples can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars of savings. These are the under-appreciated elements of PLM's value proposition that CIOs should more closely consider when setting their technology agendas.
Philippe Ribera, group software marketing director, Lectra
In order to remain competitive into the future, medium to large sized apparel companies need to achieve a seamless integration between enterprise processes (product development, manufacturing, global supply, consumer experience) to create an end-to-end value chain from ideation to consumer. The choice of technology vendor is key, and apparel firms must look at the presence and strength of a potential technology vendor.
Apparel companies must also look for practical and innovative applications to manage existing processes effectively. The use of 2D/3D CAD will shorten the fitting process and reduce the overall costs due to the need for fewer physical samples. This virtual prototyping will become more common in the near future due to its high potential for both cost and time saving.
Chris Groves, president and CEO, Centric Software
Branding: The brand is still "king." Apparel companies must understand that consumers will still pay for the brands they consider "must haves" (take Apple's phenomenal success with the iPhone as an example). To maintain the brand reputation, quality and panache, it will be critical to invest in ways that help the company stay connected to the end consumer: the styles the company delivers to shelves will have to be spot-on for trends and pricing.
Private-label brands are all about value and convey a key message to the consumer: "Same quality, equal or better value." The key to success here will be for apparel companies to provide the infrastructure to support private-label product development in the most efficient, productive way possible. Designing and communicating via spreadsheets and e-mail will no longer be enough in this market; they will need to start at the beginning with smart product development technology.
Technologies that produce short-term payoff will be in most demand. At Centric, we see that PLM technology fits the criteria, and indeed, are seeing significant demand increases as the economy turns.
To put it into context, market research firm The McKinsey Quarterly says that the impact on earnings of any particular IT cost-cutting program is 0.5 times the amount cut (expense reduction amount) over a period of 6- 18 months. Yet investing that same amount in technology to streamline and optimise supply chain processes impacts earnings 3-5 times the invested amount over the same time.
So a company with $200m in revenue that cuts $500,000 from its IT budget may see an impact on earnings of $250,000 ($500,000 x 0.5). If that company instead invests the $500,000 in a PLM solution to improve supply chain or product development processes - so that trend-right styles reach shelves on time and there is minimal discounting - the earnings contribution through improved efficiencies, enhanced business processes and margin improvements will be $1.5m-2.5m (3-5 times the invested amount).
Bump up the return on investment period to three to four months - which is what we are seeing at Centric - and it is clear that smart, selective IT spending will be key in driving innovation and the entire product development process going forward.
Mark Burstein, president of sales, marketing and R&D, NGC Software
Extended PLM - which includes the entire product lifecycle from line plan/concept to delivery of the finished goods - is essential for helping companies become more competitive. Companies shouldn't think of PLM only for the design phase; they realise the greatest benefits when they can integrate PLM with sourcing and production. According to a recent Gartner study, only 5% of businesses have optimised this integration. Clearly there is room for improvement, and the benefits can be huge.
Increased profitability is one of the top benefits. When PLM can be extended to provide visibility into the factory and real-time collaboration with suppliers, companies can instantly shift materials and production resources to their best selling products, which improves profits. This greatly increases sales velocity and full-price sales for apparel companies - which is more critical than ever for protecting profit margins when the cost of materials, labour and transportation are at all-time highs.
Charles Benoualid, vice president, research and development, Visual 2000 International
We believe that PLM will continue to be among the most important technologies in the apparel and fashion industries. While not all PLM systems deliver the same capabilities, we see the footprint of PLM continuing to expand with greater merchandise and line planning, sourcing and supply chain management, business intelligence and other critical business capabilities.
In conjunction with the implementation of PLM, ERP, and other software, we believe that fashion companies can achieve faster and better results by conducting a thorough review of internal processes.
This work will highlight numerous opportunities to streamline bureaucratic layers and break down the silos between departments and with suppliers. Other key benefits of this approach are better team and partner collaboration, reduction of redundant and erroneous product and process information, and more timely and accurate flow of information throughout the supply chain.
Combining the right technology and implementation strategy can help companies increase supply chain visibility and create an environment where changes and exceptions are identified quicker, so that action can be taken before these issues have major impacts on final outcomes.
Andy Lynn, vice president business development, RLM Apparel Software
Fashion companies are advised to take a comprehensive approach to technology investment. They should focus on equipping their team and supply chain with the integrated solutions they need to succeed in a very competitive market. Two of the most important requirements in today's global industry are the increasing need for collaboration and visibility; in the development phase, across the supply chain, and between buyers and sellers.
Today's companies need fully integrated solutions that combine PLM, ERP, SCM, and the tools necessary to achieve visibility and control from the concept all the way to the consumer. While implementing independent systems over a multi-year timeline was once considered the ideal approach, companies can now gain the benefits from cloud-based systems in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional, customised systems.
Of course, they can still implement in stages, but most companies do not have the luxury of time in positioning themselves for the competition and requirements that are already here and continuously growing.
Paul Magel, president, applications solutions group, CGS
More than ever before, companies are advised to stay focused on their business drivers when it comes to what technology is needed. This means implementing technology that can truly drive value for the company and its customers.
Companies are better served when they spend less time on IT issues and direct their focus to producing better products, being more compliant to customer needs, and building their competitiveness in the market. This can be accomplished faster and better when they select a technology partner that has the resources and capabilities needed to support and even manage the technology side of the business.
For many companies, we believe that making better use of business analytics tools presents a huge opportunity for increasing both top and bottom lines. In our view, analytics is much more than the off-loaded business intelligence systems that report on day or week-old information. In our fast- paced industry, executives and managers need true, real-time information to monitor the pulse of the business. Integrated systems can deliver the complete and up-to-the-minute information needed to support meaningful what-if planning, process visibility, and execution.
We believe that truly integrated systems are the key to success in the fashion business. But integrated systems need not mean the monolithic implementations that were once associated with ERP technology. To fit the needs of today's industry, these systems must be as much or more about enterprise collaboration as they are transaction management. They must deliver integrated PLM, sourcing, supply chain, and other important management capabilities.
Technology buyers are advised to be diligent in their search in order to find systems that can be easily personalised, configured rather than customised, and upgradable as business conditions change. After all, technology should be an enabler rather than an inhibitor to the business.

Ned Kelly the man, warts and all – the most vivid portrait yet of Australia's immortal outlaw!
Author, Ian Jones, the acknowledged Kelly authority, shares with us the results of a lifetime's research. For the first time Ned Kelly truly emerges as a man – a man who hated conflict yet never escaped it. A man who was seen, even in his own lifetime, as what he represented rather than what he was, and whose enemies – even more than his allies – helped to make him a legend.
This edition in the Bolinda Classics series has a new introduction and a fully revised concluding chapter.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Ian Jones, MBE has worked in bomb disposal for nearly four decades. As a major in the British Army he served as Commanding Officer for all bomb disposal throughout Europe. Before retiring, he was Explosives Officer for the Metropolitan Police Force. He lives in Oxfordshire, England.
If you think that it's the modern world that breeds troubled young men, think again. In Ian Jones's fascinating biography of the Australian outlaw of the 1800's, NED KELLY: A SHORT LIFE, we're reminded that trouble can find young men in any era. Narrator Paul English's melodious reading keeps the listener hooked during this admittedly long tale about a nice bad-guy. Aboriginal music between sections helps transport the listener to another time and place. This is a well-deserved 1999 Audie Award finalist. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Waldorf "salad"
Posted November 20, 2018on:
The writeup embedded above about the rise of Waldorf schools in Estonia made for some interesting reading. But based on the reporting alone, I thought that it mixed various ideas just like a salad.
Actual salads should be healthy, but not all are. For example, two years ago CNBC reported a salad that had more calories and fat than a burger.
School policy salads are a mixed bag too. I like how the Waldorf schools in Estonia embrace the humanities, focus on cross-disciplinary integration of academic subjects, and emphasise actionable feedback instead of competitive grading.
But I wonder about their policy to avoid technology until students are in high school. When I first heard about the Waldorf way some years ago, it was about this approach.
Defenders of this approach might point out that technology is better in the hands of older and more responsible learners. They also say that technology is distracting and mind-numbing.
I would remind them that there are adults who do not know how to use technology responsibly, so it is never too young to learn. Our kids do not learn by avoidance; they learn by immersion. We are their coaches and lifeguards.
The same technology that hampers learning can also enable it. The difference lies in how students are guided to use it. And they must use it, not avoid it. Avoiding technology might reduce some problems (e.g., distraction), but it also creates other problems (e.g., unprincipled use).
Prepared for work?
Posted September 13, 2018on:
Ask adults what school is for and a common response will likely be "To prepare our kids for work."
I have been consistent in railing against notions of schooling. Long story made short: Schools evolve too slowly to respond to what work currently is and will become. It is also not the full responsibility of school to prepare kids for work. Work prepares kids and workers for work.
All that said, there are some forms of work and some types of workers that take their schooling seriously. Whatever they did in school and on paper, they transfer and entrench in work.
I make this claim based on something I experienced this week. I made my way to an insurance company building to settle an administrative matter.
I had called the day before and took about a decade's worth of paper I had filed away. Despite doing this, I was surprised to learn that I would be issued a cheque. I was told then that I had to bring needed paper copies of banking information (e.g., bank book, bank statement) if I wanted an e-transfer of funds.
I was surprised because 1) I paid premiums by e-banking, 2) the transactions were recorded electronically, 3) I went fully electronic years ago and did not have paper copies of banking documents.
I was told politely but summarily that I would have to bring a bank book or bank statement. When I said that I had electronic versions on my phone, I was told that they needed to be printouts.
This was strange given how the customer service representative was using a laptop and its camera to facilitate all our transactions. Even stranger: I said that I could send an electronic copy over for printing, but I was told that there was no way to receive it.
No way to receive it? Not by wifi or bluetooth or 4G? Not on our personal or work devices? Not to a wireless printer?
I am not alone with this experience. If we stop to think about this, we face this behaviour and detect this mindset every day.
Some work behaviours might change, e.g., retrieving and recording information with mobile devices instead of on paper. But some mindsets do not change, e.g., refusing to think outside the paper box.
So school does prepare kids — and eventually adults — for work. If we do not learn from incidents like the one I shared, it prepares students for the past and increasingly irrelevant forms of work.
Research as balance
Posted July 29, 2018on:
Steven Anderson described five reasons why educational research is not commonly used in schools. He then suggested four things teachers could consider about reading, applying, or conducting research.
I could not agree more. In fact, I am guiding and mentoring a group of teachers as they write research papers about their shared experiences. I enjoy the clinic-like sessions as we write, reflect, and revise our work.
But back to the importance of practice-based research. I sum it up with this image quote I made in 2015.
Walled future
Posted March 7, 2018on:
Like it or not, this tweet can be interpreted more than one way.
It could mean that the school as a physical building literally houses and protects a future generation.
It could also mean that the school is a social structure that shapes the future. What the future looks like depends on the changes implemented now.
A third perspective is that the future — the students and what they do — is walled in by the past. If we are realistic, the implied optimism of the tweet needs to be balanced with this:
Not about the students
Posted March 4, 2018on:
This opinion piece, Not a good idea to start school later, is not about the good of the students. Instead, it is about their parents, the employers of the parents, the transport companies.
Now these other stakeholders also have a say. The problem is that their say is dominant and overwhelms what is important. That is why there is no change. The question of why we do not start school later is perennial and so are the standard answers.
The problem is not just that we keep revisiting this issue and not change anything. It is that we normalise the cycle, and in doing so, lose sight of what is important (the learner) and instead dwell on what is urgent (everything else).
Ironic motto
Posted November 1, 2017on:
I have read many school mottos, but one that confuses me is "rooted to soar".
According to the school's Wikipedia page the motto is explained as "rooted in character and skills, to soar for the nation". However, this is not obvious in a three-word motto.
School mottos should make sense immediately. They should not need elaboration or a Google search. After all, they are supposed to be distillations of what each school strives for or values the most.
How exactly does one remain rooted while trying to soar? A circling raptor is not tethered to the ground. If it were, it might look like an aerostat.
While an aerostat seems to be "rooted to soar", it is not actually soaring. It does not have the freedom to explore, approach, or encounter. It is literally tied down.
I am all for kids for who grow up with timeless values. But if they are really to soar, they should not be tethered. We do far too much of the latter in schooling that kids forget or do not learn how to think for themselves.
Old school values?
Posted October 12, 2017on:
This semester I am doing something I did not think I would have to do. I am advising my adult learners on what to do when they show up for their performative evaluations.
Amongst other things, I am telling them to:
- Come prepared
- Arrive early
- Be properly attired
These sound so basic that you might think they need not be said. But "golden rules" do not get their shine without polish.
What is socially acceptable or expected does not always come naturally. These behaviours need to be taught and modelled.
The three rules that I mentioned are not just for creating a good impression, they also reveal the mindset and attitudes of my learners. If they practice them, they show me and others that they can see themselves from another person's perspective. They respect the time and effort everyone makes to participate at an event.
Those three rules are not limited to their performative evaluations. They also transfer to other contexts, e.g., interviews, meetings, classes.
I do not have to defend these rules. But I am concerned that I have to be so explicit about them at this late stage of my learners' development. My interactions with some of them tell me that their previous teachers and mentors might not have insisted and persisted with these values.
It is that or I am becoming an old fart. Is curmudgeon.com available?

Farmers and ranchers along the Mississippi River Basin will receive help in the form of $30 million from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for 73 projects targeting conservation in high-priority watersheds.
Thirty-three new projects and 40 existing projects will split the money, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said yesterday. The money will come from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative program.
"By targeting small priority watersheds within the Mississippi River basin, we are helping to deliver local water quality benefits and contributing to large-scale improvements for the Basin as a whole," Vilsack said. "Water quality is important to everyone, at all levels of government, to private landowners, and in rural and urban areas alike. The many partnerships created through this initiative are both impressive and promising to the future of these watersheds."
Four of the new projects include addressing nutrient and sediment losses from cropland and degraded pastures in Crawford and Vernon Counties in Wisconsin along the Kickapoo River. The NRCS will invest $847,000 in fiscal year 2016 with a total of $5.3 million for the watershed over the next four years.
In Upper Birds Point, Missouri, NRCS will implement a system to reduce sediment and nutrient loss, improve migratory bird habitat and protect shallow ground water. NRCS will invest $436,000 in fiscal year 2016 with a total of $2 million over the next four years.
In Upper Bayou-Macon, Arkansas, NRCS will also work to reduce sediment and nutrient loading. Specifically in Bayou Macon, the money will also go to improve the habitat of four endangered species -- the Pallid Sturgeon, Fat Pocketbook, Pink Mucket and Scaleshell. These projects will receive $794,000 in fiscal year 2016 and a total of $4 million over the next four years.
Finally, NCRS will be working in Slocum Creek, Iowa, to improve water quality for residents and improve the Iowa nutrient reduction strategy. NRCS will invest $294,000 in fiscal year 2016 and a total of almost $700,000 over the next three years.
The programs have resulted in significant improvement of the Mississippi River Basin as documented by the USDA in the 2013 report "Conservation Effects Assessment Project."

Just come back from a lovely week here. The weather wasn't great but the cottage is perfect and in a great location for whatever you want to do in the Peak District. We had hoped to do some moorland walking but it was too misty most of the time. Instead we did some low level walking and several cycling routes, visited Chatsworth and of course explored the famous "plague village" of Eyam and went to its very good museum. There's a great cafe in the village that does fab cakes too, and a nice pub. Shops are a bit basic but Calver up the road has a very good Spar. The cottage has everything you might need, it was a bit cold so we were glad of the open fire.
A great cottage, in a great location and at a great price - what else do you need to know! We'll be going back as soon as possible.
After a gruelling 6 hour schlep up the M1, what a joy to arrive at this charming cottage, fairy lights twinkling in the ivy on the garden wall, a Christmas tree in the sitting room, fires laid in the two open fireplaces, homemade Christmas cake and a beautiful jug of holly and winter flowers on the farmhouse kitchen table. This cottage is a delight, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds very comfortable, and much care is taken to make it a lovely experience for visitors. Don't forget to take towels! They are not provided and although this is made clear, I did forget - luckily my sister in law in Sheffield came to the rescue. Also, although the kitchen is fully equipped, you need to bring th basics (black pepper, olive oil etc - things that you often find in rental kitchens). The village is lovely and we would recommend the museum and the walk up to Bretton to the Barrel Inn. We were very lucky to get snow!
We stayed for the weekend and found the cottage really cosy, lovely to have real fires and a great location for walks and mid way between Castleton and Bakewell. The kitchen was well equipped, only thing missing which would've been handy to know was salt & pepper. Comfy beds and the place was really clean, would love to come back.
Really Charming cottage.
In a great place with Derbyshire totally accessible.
Jo is a lovely lady who has thought of everything.

The Google team looked at all their search data for 2016 to see what emerged as the top diet trends, and this buzzy acronym diet secured the top spot. Unlike most diets, it swaps counting calories for focusing on insulin levels — a measurement of your blood sugar that nutritionists love to zoom in on when evaluating a food's health merits — to ensure steady, lasting weight loss.
If the diet is a quick fix rather than one that promotes lasting lifestyle changes, this could pose a problem. In particular, extreme diets that promise big weight loss up front aren't always sustainable — and you may end up overeating or even binge eating if you feel deprived. "Consider if the diet's habits are ones you can continue throughout your lifetime, not just 21 or 30 days," says Angie Asche, RD, a sports dietitian in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Be choosy about carbs. You can decide which ones you eat, and how much. Look for those that are low on the glycemic index (for instance, asparagus is lower on the glycemic index than a potato) or lower in carbs per serving than others. Whole grains are better choices than processed items, because processing removes key nutrients such as fiber, iron, and B vitamins. They may be added back, such as in "enriched" bread.
Also, men tend to lose weight where they need it most (read: belly), so it's often more immediately noticeable when overweight men start trimming down than when women do, as ladies' fat stores are typically more spread out, which is partly why they tend to lose weight at a slower pace than guys. Even basic, regular exercise -- ideally 30 to 60 minutes a day -- tends to reduce abdominal obesity, even if guys don't technically lose weight.
Maintain a consistent exercise program. Even though intense exercise is effective for weight loss, hard workouts put your body at a higher risk for injury and burnout. And you're not likely to burn enough calories for weight loss while you're recovering on the couch. Easy workouts are usually safer for your body and may allow you to be more consistent, week to week and month to month.
Does forskolin work? Uses, risks, and benefits Forskolin is a plant-based product that is used as a weight loss supplement. It is thought to help people lose weight by creating certain enzymes, and it may also have a range of medicinal uses. It has recently experienced a surge in popularity, but does it really work? We look at the benefits and risks of forskolin. Read now
Abazarfard, Z., Salehi, M., & Keshavarzi, S. (2014, May). The effect of almonds on anthropometric measurements and lipid profile in overweight and obese females in a weight reduction program: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

At the point when practice is utilized with the goal of consuming fat, it is conceivable that green tea will add to effectively expanding your weight reduction. Health line reports different investigations in which exercisers who took a green tea separate supplement instead of a fake treatment could consume 17% more fat amid their exercises. While we've just said that the supplement type of green tea isn't the perfect shape, the outcomes do point to some viability.
One of the biggest buzz words in nutrition, antioxidants are naturally occurring chemical compounds that prevent aging and chronic diseases. Nowadays, a variety of fruits and vegetables are lauded for their antioxidant properties, leading to a host of products with all kinds of claims. But matcha is unparalleled in comparison. Firstly, matcha is packed with exponentially more antioxidants according to the latest innovation in antioxidant research.
Diets don't work. There are hundreds of diets that will help you lose weight, but what good is losing weight if you gain it right back? Eating crazy food combinations or eliminating food groups is not the way to keep weight off. Instead, choose a nutritionally balanced plan with enough calories to keep you from feeling famished (like the WebMD Weight Loss Clinic eating plans).
Speaking of standout breakfast foods, Greek yogurt is another option worthy of the spotlight thanks to its high-protein content. Per study in the journal Appetite, researchers from the University of Missouri compared the satiety effects of high-, moderate-, and low-protein yogurts on women aged 24-28, and found Greek yogurt, with the highest protein content, to have the greatest effect. What's more? Probiotics in items such as yogurt and fermented foods, like pickles and sauerkraut, help good bacteria in the gut process food more efficiently. Hello, weight loss! If you want to get even more protein in your yogurt, check out Icelandic yogurts, which can have two to three more grams of protein per serving compared to Greek.
Obviously, better hunger control hunger leads to eating less and weight loss. Hunger is a powerful obstacle because it is one of the most basic of human instincts. The three most powerful human needs are known as the 3F's — Fluids, Feeding and Procreation. You may be able to temporarily ignore hunger, but when it persists for day after day, it becomes progressively more difficult to ignore. Controlling hunger is one of the keys to long term weight loss. Most calorie restriction plans ignore this factor, pretending it is all about will power. You can't 'decide' to be less hungry. Fasting, on the other hand, tends to reduce overall hunger. Green tea, with its small effect on decreasing ghrelin is a great complement to fasting.
"There are many diet plans on the market today that promote good health," says Emily Kyle, RDN, who is in private practice in Rochester, New York. "The key is finding one that does not cause you stress or agony." Ask yourself questions such as: Would the diet guidelines make you happy? Anxious? Stressed? Are you able to follow them long term? "Factors such as enjoyment, flexibility, and longevity should be strongly considered," adds Kyle.
A significant reduction in body fat (fat mass (FM), Body fat percentage, Arm fat percentage, feet FM, feet fat percentage) was observed in the slow WL group compared to the rapid WL group. In addition, a significant reduction in lean mass (lean body mass (LBM), fat free mass (FFM), Trunk lean) and total body water and RMR was seen in the rapid WL group compared to the slow WL group.
"Research published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2006 found that the type of DHA omega-3 oil found in salmon may have an 'anti-obesity effect' by preventing an increase in fat cells, causing death of pre-fat cells, and promoting the breakdown of fat in the body," says Maleeff. Not sure how to prepare it? Try any (or all) of these five tasty salmon recipes.
The next time you're craving some crunch, drop the potato chips and grab some celery instead. The veggie is essentially all water and fiber — two things that fill you up quickly. And while one cup of chips can be upward of 160 cals, celery only contains about 6 calories per stalk. Dip them in a serving of peanut butter or hummus for a healthy snack.
The difference in body composition (muscle loss and dehydration), metabolic effects, and the return of weight has been reported (9, 10). In a meta-analysis study, weight return had been reported in most participants (77%), who followed WL diets (11). In a classification of diets based on calorie restrictions and speed of WL, diets are divided to rapid WL, moderate WL, and slow WL.
Ultimately, weight loss for the long-term requires some short-term behavior change and healthier habit formation. That's why we created our Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem, which exists to help turn smart food choices into healthier eating habits. All GHNA foods and drinks make it easier to find — and eat — good-for-you foods without additional time, effort, and cost. We target the lifestyle-related factors that make healthier eating hard, and find simple but creative solutions that actually work! Look for the emblem on labels wherever you shop for food!
One more scoop, one more cookie, one more glass of wine -- "just one more" can add lots of extra calories. Controlling portions is fundamental to weight loss success. You don't need to give up your favorite foods, but you do need to keep track of your portions. At home, use smaller plates and keep food at the stove instead of on the table at mealtime. When you go out to eat, order a soup and a salad instead of an entrée, or take home half your meal in a doggie bag.
I think the fact that I made gradual changes was part of my success. I didn't dive in head-first and get overwhelmed with my new habits. And now that I've hit my goal weight and I'm super active, I do eat out with friends occasionally. It's not realistic to cut going to dinner with friends and family out of my life altogether. Today, I'm so proud to say that I've successfully maintained my weight for five years!
Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 19.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The data were checked for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Independent sample t test (for normally distributed variables) and Mann-Whitney U test (for non-normally distributed variables) were used to compare baseline values between the 2 groups. Moreover, in order to assay differences before and after the intervention within groups, paired sample t test (for normally distributed variables) and Wilcoxon test (for non-normally distributed variables) were used. Data were reported as mean ± standard error. P values of <0.05 were considered significant.

Sesame seeds likely aren't one of those foods you pay any mind to, but the crunchy little buggers have been shown to play a crucial role in weight maintenance and deserve to be tossed into a salad or whole wheat noodle dish. Researchers suspect its the lignans—plant compounds—found in sesame seeds (and flax seeds) that makes them so special. In a 2015 study, women who consumed high levels of lignans tended to weigh less and gain less weight over time when compared to women who didn't consume these compounds in high amounts.
