 Supply Market Intelligence: A Managerial Handbook for Building Sourcing Strategies By Robert Handfield 2006 | 539 Pages | ISBN: 084932789X | PDF | 6 MB Supply Market Intelligence: A Managerial Handbook for Building Sourcing Strategies charts the course to success for executives who are seeking to lead their organizations to supply-chain maturity. This volume is intended for supply-chain executives who struggle with the challenges of an uncertain supply market environment and whose supply chain function is constantly buffeted by unexpected changes in customer requirements and commodity prices. The author offers a more effective path, describing an integrated approach to supply chain management based upon solid market intelligence. This path is derived from the authors' multiple engagements with organizations such as Suncor Energy, Bank of America, Shell Oil, Honda of America, General Motors, Boston Scientific, Visteon, Federal Express, Sonoco, Duke Energy, Caterpillar, John Deere, GlaxoSmithKline, and many others. He emphasizes that the elements of a successful plan do not arise from a simple vision, instead they require much hard work and a focused approach backed by solid leadership. This book begins by defining supply market intelligence and discussing opportunities, the establishment of a project team, and conducting an internal business intelligence assessment. The book then examines the development of business and market intelligence, supplier evaluations, and sourcing strategies. It also explores how to execute a sourcing strategy, manage a strategic supplier relationship, and redesign an organization for effective supply-chain intelligence and strategic sourcing. This volume offers a benchmarking maturity model tool that covers all facets of end-to-end supply-chain management.  Smart Marriage: Using Your (Business) Head as Well as Your Heart to Find Wedded Bliss By Allen Parkman 2007 | 199 Pages | ISBN: 0275994554 | PDF | 1 MB In this eye-opening book, Parkman shows how we can use our headsвЂ"in addition to our heartsвЂ"to find wedded bliss and avoid a failed marriage. Smart Marriage provides a framework Parkman claims will increase the chance of long-term success in marriage and help couples to weather the storms that come with all marriages. This framework will enable couples to jointly make good decisions, avoid financial stress and the other traps that bring so many into divorce court, and do right by the most important outcome of most marriages: the children.It might seem too practical, at first, to apply a business strategy to such an intimate and emotional quest as love and marriage. But a front page article in the Wall Street Journal in 2006 summed it up this way: In their rush down the aisle, couples often think love will overcome any disagreements about savings and spending. It doesn't. So even among the most compatible couples, the pre-wedding vow of personal-finance silence leads to frustration, fights, and power struggles. And divorce, adds economist Allen Parkman. So lookвЂ"and talkвЂ"before you leap.In this eye-opening book, Parkman shows how we can use our headsвЂ"in addition to our heartsвЂ"to find wedded bliss and avoid a failed marriage.

Cyrano de Bergerac wrote about a trip to the moon that was published back in 1657, as did Jules Verne in 1865, this time using hard, scientific facts. The first movie showing a trip to the moon was made by Georges Méliès in 1902. In the comics format, Hergé had Tintin walk on the moon in 1954, 15 years before Neil Armstrong. These are just a few of the many unique French contributions to SF that rightly deserve to be better known. One of the purposes of this collection is to introduce French SF to an English-speaking audience. Rediscovering French Science Fiction... first revisits proto science-fiction from authors like Cyrano de Bergerac and Jules Verne, before delving into contemporary science-fiction works from authors such as René Barjavel and Jacques Spitz. A contribution from preeminent SF author Élisabeth Vonarburg, from Québec, helps to understand the constraints and advantages of writing SF in French. A third section is devoted to French SF in movies and graphic novels, media where French creators have been recognized worldwide. This collection explores many aspects of French SF, including the genres deep roots in popular culture, the influence of key authors on its historical development, and the form and function of science and fantasy, as well as the impact of films and graphic novels on the public perception of the genres nature.

Those studies - the largest ever in the history of psychiatry - provided important data about the disorder in groups of patients living in different countries and cultures, and first focused attention on the differences in short-term prognosis for schizophrenia between the third world and industrialized countries. In the 1990s, the International Study of Schizophrenia (ISoS) set out to relocate those subjects and to determine their clinical and social status some 15 to 25 years later.
