The BLUEsat Group is a collection of undergraduate students at UNSW Australia dedicated to creating easy-to-access space technology. The mission of the group is to take on practical space engineering projects and in doing so, give undergraduate engineering students hands-on experience on space technology. The group is currently undertaking three projects –
- Development of a satrospheric balloon vehicle for scientific experiments
- Design of a CubeSat for entry into the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (CSDC)
- Construction of a Mars Rover for entry into the European Rover Challenge (ERC)
BLUEsat was started in 1997 as the Basic Low-Earth Orbit UNSW Experimental Satellite (BLUEsat) project, aimed at designing, building and launching the first undergraduate satellite in Australia. With the completion and demonstration of our first prototype in early 2013, the Group expanded its operations to include research into emerging CubeSat technologies, off-world rovers and near space experimental platforms.
BLUEsat is part of the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) at UNSW Australia.
The BLUEsat Student Satellites division is dedicated to CubeSat and satellite hardware development and research. Following the completion of the group’s first satellite in July of 2013, the team has adapted the Cubesat platform, and begun research into Cubesat navigation and on-board computer systems. The team’s long-term goal is to fly undergraduate-built hardware in orbit as part of missions flown by UNSW and partners beyond.
Drawing on students with interests in satellite technology, control systems, and microelectronics, the Satellite team offers BLUEsat members a chance to work hands-on to design, build, and test the critical systems that allow satellites to survive, navigate, and operate in one of the harshest environments to be found in engineering.
The BLUEsat Off-World Robotics group provides an opportunity for students to develop robotic systems with a particular focus on extra-terrestrial exploration. In the long term the group aims to develop a versatile rover, capable of performing a variety of tasks in an environment similar to what would be experienced on the surface of the moon or Mars.
After a successful testing expedition to Arkaroola in July 2014, the group is transitioning to a second design phase to create an updated version of the rover (pictured) which can handle the challenges of the harsh conditions more effectively and efficiently. This rover will be entered into the European Rover Challenge in September 2015
BLUEsat's stratospheric testing initiative sends high-altitude sounding balloons up to 30,000m with a suite of tracking and telemetry sensors to facilitate the near-space testing of flight hardware, as well as a state-of-the-art separation mechanism to ensure flight control. The flights are also used for high altitude experiments for academic groups within UNSW. Flights are flown out of Muswellbrook, NSW.
BLUEsat is the proud work of several generations of UNSW undergraduates, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, science majors, and even one commerce student. To give due credit to all these talented people would be impossible so we would like to extend our collected gratitude to those who have made BLUEsat what it is today. Thank you all.
The current team consists of roughly twenty electrical, software and mechanical engineering students, from all of the different years, working to complete the final assembly of the satellite. Our executive branch includes:

Technically, there is no big difference except for the focus of the treatment and rehabilitation program. For example, alcohol rehab centers Indiana focus more on the treatment and management of alcohol addiction while drug rehab centers will be focusing more on drug addictions. It is all a matter of naming just to make sure that people who are addicted to specific types of substances know exactly where they need to get the kind of help that they need.
Alcohol rehab centers always start with the detox process in order to get rid of the alcohol from the body particularly the brain. Too much alcohol in the brain severely disrupts the brain’s ability to effectively control urges. That is why an alcoholic is typically described as someone who has definitely lost control over his urge to drink. Alcohol addiction, like any type of addiction, has a largely psychological component. It is for this reason that some alcohol rehab centers already provide individual counseling and group therapeutic sessions even during the course of the detoxification process.
Going back to detox, this treatment is necessary in order to prepare the body and the mind for a more sober living. One of the major effects of chronic alcohol abuse is malnutrition which can lead to a host of other metabolic problems. Detoxification therefore not only calls for the management of the withdrawal symptoms but also for optimum nutritional support. Consider it as a way to prepare the body for the actual alcohol rehabilitation treatment program once detox has been completed.
Now, alcohol rehab centers can provide treatments in a variety of settings. This can be in an inpatient setting or as an outpatient clinic. Generally, experts would recommend inpatient alcohol rehab centers as these provide better outcomes when it comes to staying sober longer upon completion of the alcohol rehabilitation program. This is because the individual in an inpatient alcohol rehab center is able to focus more on his addiction recovery without any outside interference or distractions. This is necessary as the success of the whole treatment program lies squarely on the realization by the individual of the actual root cause of his alcoholic addiction. While some individuals cite unresolved emotional conflicts as the root cause of their alcohol addictions, it is also possible for some that their reasons are more because of strained social relationships. Whatever the case, it is the job of the therapists and counselors at alcohol rehab centers to help the individual discover their alcoholic addiction triggers.
There are also alcohol rehab centers that provide luxury services and amenities. Known as luxury alcohol rehab centers, these facilities provide the same treatment principles but in a significantly enhanced and more luxurious setting. This is the type of alcohol rehab centers that are often sought after by high profile individuals such as public officials, professional athletes, and artists or celebrities.
Regardless of the type of alcohol rehab center, one can always expect to receive the best treatment possible.

Lisa Nagengast was desperately trying to find someone who could take her sick brother to the hospital—and, in her haste, the wrong number she dialed became the perfectly right number.
She had just gotten off the plane in Tampa, Florida last weekend after visiting her brother Greg Holeman in Columbus, Nebraska. She’d spent the week caring for the 48-year-old Army veteran after his risky spinal fusion surgery.
Everything seemed fine when she left—but after the plane landed she heard an alarming voicemail from Holeman who said he was in extreme pain.
The veteran had no money to get to the hospital in a taxi, and wasn’t sure if ambulance fees were covered by his insurance, so he gave his sister the contact information his social worker, and Lisa hurriedly dialed the phone number.
“A young woman answered, [and] I assumed it was the social worker Pam,” Lisa wrote in a Facebook post. “I told her who I was, why I was calling, gave her the whole story, and asked what can we do to get him to the hospital.”
The woman passed the phone to her manager, a young man named Jason Voss. Lisa reiterated her dilemma and asked for help. The man said he had drivers on hand and would try to find someone who was free to help.
Fifteen minutes later, Lisa got a call from someone named Zach Hillmer, who said he would be able to give Greg a ride to the hospital—all he needed was a phone number and address.
Frustrated and anxious, Lisa snapped at the man, demanding to know why he didn’t have this information on file. Zach simply responded by saying: “You called Jimmy John’s.”
After a few stunned moments of silence, Lisa confirmed that it was indeed the local sandwich shop before apologizing profusely for the mistake. Zach insisted he still wanted to take her brother to the hospital—he just needed the address.
Because he, himself, is also a veteran, he took extra gentle care of the sick man, who was later that evening given a free taxi ride home from the hospital, and is now doing fine.
Lisa has since expressed her overwhelming gratitude towards the sandwich restaurant’s employees.
The restaurant manager, Jason Voss, said that he didn’t hesitate to help the frantic woman.
“I was pretty sure she had no idea it was Jimmy John’s,” Voss told The Washington Post. “I didn’t think I needed to say anything. It didn’t seem relevant at that moment.”
Furthermore, he believes that anyone would have done the same thing if they were in his shoes – he just happened to be the one who answered the phone.
“I feel like stuff like this happens all the time, and it’s interesting people are taking an interest in it now,” he added. “People feel like they need something, anything good right now. Something like this is really small, but if it helps people, that’s good.”

The orphanage was quiet. All the babies and toddlers were napping. The older children were doing their studies. Down the hall came the distinct sound of skipping. The children were supposed to be in class. Everyone knew who would not be in class….Carlota!
The rebellious eight year old was a pretty girl, with long, dark curls. They delicately framed a cute pouty-round face. But Carlota had a problem, a big problem. She had an attitude like a boss! She thought she ran everyone and everything around her! She skipped out of class, literally, at least twice a week. She never did her homework and she bragged…a lot! This made her not so popular. But that was okay with her, was used to not having anyone in her corner.
Abandoned by her mother at the age of five, she remembers it like it was yesterday. One day she and her mother were taking a long walk through the Russian village they lived in. The next moment she was at the orphanage. The walls, made of stone, were cold as a Siberian night. But the people seemed warm. There was something different about them. The orphanage, in the town of Tatarsk was poor but rich in spirit. She thought her mother and she were there to visit someone. But after talking to the nice lady in the blue dress, Stanislava, her mother turned and walked out the door, without so much as a goodbye.
Carlota tried to run after her, but the counselors had a gentle, but firm, hold of her. She cried and screamed and cried until she could cry no more. The counselors gave her a moment then took her to the nursery. There was a little bed in the corner, by the window. “This is your bed,” the counselor quietly said. Carlota looked hopelessly at the drab color of the blankets, fell belly down into it and buried her tear-stained face into a smelly worn pillow. Then the lady in the blue dress came in.
She picked her up and spoke kindly to her as Carlota quietly sobbed. “Carlota, you are a precious, precious child. You may not know us here, but you will. You will see that this is a happy place and that we love you. Please do not be afraid.” She softly put her fingers under Carlota’s little chin, and tilted it up so she could look her directly in the eyes. The lady’s sparkly hazel eyes gently looked down at Carlota, “Chin up darling, everything will be alright. I promise! Do you want to see the playground?” Carlota nodded yes.
Carlota learned a lesson the day her mother left her; trust no one. Although she did not understand her feelings , experience had taught her well. Carlota adjusted. She made friends with the other kids, but she never got close to anyone.
The kids came and went. The young ones usually got adopted first. Twice a month Carlota with the other children lined up in their “best” clothes and stood side by side as potential parents walked by. They never picked her, but she did not care. She did everything she could, NOT to be adopted. No one wants a problem child…and a problem child she was! She never wanted to speak the word “mommy” again…or did she?
Robert Marland, and his wife Marsha, were a kindly older couple. They were Americans who had children who were all grown and gone. One was in college and the other married with two children. They lived in a beautiful home near the ocean in Newport R.I. Owners of a small store, they retired in their 40’s. They were in their fifties now. Life was good, but something was missing.
One day, as they were praying, Marsha felt as if God was calling them to adopt a child. Marsha shared this revelation with her husband. He looked away for a moment. He had to think about it. After what seemed like forever, he replied, “Why not! Now Marsha knew the idea HAD to be from God for Bob to say it was ok (without being sweet talked!)
Several weeks later, as they watched TV before bed, a commercial came on showing children in an orphanage in Russia. They were so poor. The children were even going without food sometimes.
“That’s it!” said Bob. “We are going to Russia to get our child!” Within a week Marsha found herself on a plane going half-way around the world to get her baby. She pondered, a girl or a boy? Marsha thought she would adopt a young child, one without too many “issues.” But as they pulled up to the run-down stone building, in Tatarsk, God was putting a thought on Marsha and Bob’s ’s hearts, “serve Me in this.” They knew that whomever they chose, it would have to be God’s choice, not theirs.
The children all lined up as usual. They were all underweight, in their red and white uniforms hand stitched together in love. Anyone could see they were poor, but well cared for. One by one the Marland’s prayerfully looked them over. Carlota looked down at the floor when they got to her. Stanislava was with them. Afterwards, as they walked down the hall to her office they talked about a few of the children. The Marland’s told Stanislava that they would call her in the morning with their decision. They wanted to seek the Lord about it before they made their choice.
Morning came, the bell for school rang and all the kids went to class. Carlota was supposed to be doing her math, but she was busy drawing cute forest creatures on the back of her page. Suddenly Stanislava appeared. “Carlota , come with me please.” Carlota slowly put her things away, thinking she was in trouble. How she hated disappointing Stanislava. She secretly loved her so. But she was ready for whatever discipline was coming.
Carlota followed Stanislava into her office and sank into one of the big chairs. Stanislava had a big smile on her face. “Carlota, you are going to have new parents. Mr. and Mrs. Marland have petitioned to adopt you. You are going to America, to live in a big house by the ocean. Carlota was overwhelmed! “Me?” She thought. “They chose me?” “Miss Stanislava,” she said, “Why did those nice people choose me?”
“Always remember Carlota, Love chooses us because that’s what Love does. It is not what we do, it’s just Who Love is. God is Love.” “I will always remember,” Carlota said with tears of gratefulness in her eyes,” I will.” ~
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:3-6

It takes special legislation in these partisan times for a bill to unanimously pass both chambers of the Florida Legislature. But this legislation, SB 1326, is a strong step toward improving the state’s child welfare system. It strengthens the child protection safety net, holds service providers more accountable and sets the stage for better pairing resources with the children who need them. Gov. Ron DeSantis should follow through with his support by signing the bill into law, and lawmakers should provide enough money to make these goals achievable.
The legislation is aimed at filling critical gaps in the foster care system that all too often result in tragedy. As the Tampa Bay Times’ Christopher O’Donnell reported, the measure directs the Florida Department of Children and Families to develop benchmarks for foster care agencies that provide services to children at the local level. Agencies that perform poorly could face financial penalties or lose their state contracts. The goal is to create a more level playing field for determining who should - and should not - be acting as the first line of defense for Florida’s most vulnerable children.
The bill, though, hardly is punitive in its approach. It establishes a quality office within DCF to ensure the agency and its contractors achieve high levels of performance. The bill targets stress and burnout among child protective investigators - the turnover rate has averaged about 37 percent during the last two years - by calling for new support services and continuing training for supervisors. The department must also create a new system for measuring “the overall health of the child welfare system” in Florida within each of the state’s 20 judicial circuits, which will provide a better picture of what’s working, what’s not and the specific needs among Florida’s individual counties.
The bill also creates a two-year experiment - assuming the funding will be in the state budget that will be approved next week - to examine ways to improve child services in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. That addresses a critical need in these three counties, which have more children in foster care than any other region in the state. And the incentive funding for meeting new state performance standards would pave the way for a fairer system of funding foster care services in Florida. State spending on child services in South Florida, for example, now far outstrips other areas, including the Tampa Bay region. Last year, the state spent $17,418 per child served in South Florida, yet only $8,193 per child in Pinellas and Pasco counties and $8,924 in Hillsborough. It’s time to commit more public money to the areas with the highest demand.
DeSantis and Chad Poppell, secretary of the Department of Children and Families, deserve credit for supporting the legislation, which the sponsor, state Sen. Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, ably moved over the line. It brings all of those involved in the foster care system - from law enforcement, state government, nonprofits and individual caseworkers - closer together with a shared interest in better outcomes. But the plan hinges on money, and as legislative leaders finalize a state budget this weekend, in advance of final votes next week, this appropriation should be a priority the state should look to build on.

Assessment of Inappropriate Prescribing to Elderly Patients in an Internal Medicine Ward According to the 2019 Beers Criteria
Author(s): Cátia Pereira, Ana Guiomar, Alexandra Cunha, Catarina Alves Cunha, José Pedro Barbosa, Jorge Fortuna
Drug prescribing in older adults presents a serious challenge in medical clinical practice as this group of patients is particularly susceptible to drug-related side effects. American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria serve as guidelines for clinicians to prevent potentially inappropriate prescribing in adults aged 65 years and older. Along with other tools and clinical judgment, these criteria can be used as a prescribing quality indicator. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescription and the most common potentially inappropriate medications prescribed among older patients at admission in an internal medicine ward, as well as its rate of discontinuation by clinicians by the time of discharge. This assessment was made in light of the American Geriatrics Society 2019 Updated AGS Beers Criteria. Data from three internal medicine wards of the University of Coimbra Hospital Center were analyzed during July 2019, resulting in a total of 153 selected patients. The mean age was 85 (SD 7.32) years and most of the patients were female (58%). On admission, 75% of patients had at least one potentially inappropriate drug prescribed. At discharge, the drug was discontinued in 21% of these patients. One potentially inappropriate drug was introduced in 16% of patients. More than ever, we must acknowledge deprescribing as an important component of a good prescribing continuum. Our results highlight clinicians’ poor recognition of potentially harmful drugs in the elderly and the urge to define a strategy that allows appropriate therapeutic adjustments in this age group.

The latest TV-tastic DC Comics related news items for September 28th – 30th, 2013!
“Constantine” and “Gotham” set for network TV series!
It has been quite a busy weekend for DC Entertainment as not one, but two new TV shows based on their iconic characters are in development with two major networks.
The first is “Gotham”, a police procedural series with Fox – the network which aired DC’s “Human Target” for two seasons and presumably holds some ownership rights over the 1960’s “Batman” series. According to Deadline, Fox has tapped Bruno Heller, the creator of “The Mentalist”, to helm the show which is set to take place before the arrival of Batman and many of his colorful villains and star a younger James Gordon as a detective with the GCPD. This would make the second dipping into the Batman well for a TV show for DC Comics; “Birds of Prey” ran for a season on The CW (then “The WB”) in 2002 and it featured Gordon’s daughter Barbara as well as Helena Wayne, the daughter of Batman and Catwoman, as star characters. It is unknown if it will feature any characters from the comic series “Gotham Central”, which was a police procedural featuring regular GCPD officers going about their jobs under the shadow of Batman (and other heroes) which ran from 2003-2006 and was written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka. Surely, Gordon will need a cast of fellow officers for such a show, and characters like Renee Montoya, Crispus Allen, and Harvey Bullock would be easy locks for such roles. Fox has issued a “series commitment” for “Gotham”, likely figuring combining a police procedural with Batman is as close as TV executives get to a “no brainer” decision.
The second is “Constantine”, which is a drama based on the long running “Hellblazer” star set for NBC, the network which tried (and failed) to launch a “Wonder Woman” pilot from David E. Kelley in 2011. David Cerone, an executive producer for “The Mentalist” alongside screenwriter David S. Goyer are going to run the show, which is about a detective who dabbles with supernatural mysteries. A feature film starring Keanu Reeves of the same name debuted in 2005. Created in 1985, artist Stephen R. Bissette stated that none of Constantine’s creators will see any pay out from a TV series immediately. The creators apparently did get a pay out for the film but any grosses for a TV series would be down the line. Unlike “Gotham”, NBC has not committed to “Constantine” yet as a series and it could always die during the pilot stage.
This is in addition to “Arrow” starting a second season on The CW with a “Flash” spin-off due down the pipe.
“Wonder Woman” fan film hits internet; shames Warner Brothers?
Timing, as they say, is everything. While DC Entertainment has been busy setting up live action shows to counter “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D.”, it is also known that Wonder Woman’s second stab at a TV show died in development at The CW back in July. Today, Rainfall TV has created a 2.5 minute fan film based around “Wonder Woman” starring Rileah Vanderbilt and directed by Sam Balcomb. The teaser style real offers a look at the Amazons on Paradise Islands facing off against giant minotaurs as well as Wonder Woman herself taking on thugs. It has gotten a lot of buzz online, including over 307,000 views on YouTube in less than 24 hours.
Fan films can occasionally spark mainstream attention. “Batman: Dead End” was a fan film made in 2003 which debuted at the San Diego Comic Con directed by Sandy Collora. It gained the notice of types like Kevin Smith and Alex Ross as a way to direct Batman in live action at a time when Batman hadn’t been seen on the big screen since “Batman & Robin” at the end of the 90’s. Ultimately, Chris Nolan would go on to direct “Batman Begins” in 2004-2005 and the rest is history. The time is thus right for Balcomb to get some notice with a fan film of his own, which is riding atop the current “why isn’t there a super heroine film” trend online.
“Superman/Batman” is “further along” than everyone knows?
In an interview with the Associated Press, screenwriter David S. Goyer stated that the upcoming “Superman/Batman” film set to star Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck is “further along than […] people realize”. It also seems as if a conflict between the heroes in a “versus” style battle is an inevitable part of the story. If Goyer is true to his word, it seems as if this was in the works while “Man of Steel” was also in development.

Sankei Chemical is a long-established pesticide production company based in Kagoshima, in the south of Japan. Through the implementation of ERP5 Sankei was able to integrate its 6 sites and improve its business processes which were previously managed by several separated programs for production management, order management, shipping management and warehouse management. This integration was possible because of ERP5‘s ability to adapt to the specific requirements of Sankei thanks to technologies such as ERP Supply and ERP5 Simulation.
The first step of the ERP5 implementation methodology is to define the priorities for business process improvements that should be reached with the adoption of ERP5. For Sankei the frictionless trading data exchange with its clients is crucial for efficient management of its sales processes. Therefore, the first priority was to improve the interfaces to clients. Sankei wished to implement the EDI interface to Zennouyaku, an
association of pesticide seller companies. Many clients of Sankei are
members of this association and the previously used sales management software did not support this interface. Additionally, in 2009 the protocol of the interface to one of Sankei‘s key clients was revised and Sankei had to adapt itself to the new protocol version. At the same time the license of the previously used sales management software expired. Sankei took the opportunity to implement a customized ERP system based on ERP5 at less cost than renewing the license of the existing sales management software and
Sale order and shipment management was implemented with ERP5 Trade which was connected to Zennouyaku interface with zgateway, an open source implementation of Zengin TCP/IP protocol used among banks and companies in Japan. Thanks to this integration sale orders from Sankei clients are now automatically created in ERP5 and shipping information is sent to clients automatically from ERP5 sale packing lists. This way the number of orders from fax and telephone could be reduced which makes the sales process more efficient and less error-prone for Sankei as well as for its clients.
The second improvement priority for Sankei was price calculation. The previously used sales management system was not able to implement the complex pricing rules used in Japanese pesticide industry. It was not possible for Sankei to check the correctness of the prices of orders coming through the old EDI interfaces. Proper price calculation was therefore identified as an important objective for the ERP5 implementation project. ERP5 Supply is the key technology to implement very complex price models in ERP5. It allows defining prices and special discount ratios based on rules which can take any type of condition into account. For Sankei, the sale supply module was configured to enter prices per combination of customer, product, product variation, shipping date and shipping region. Thanks to ERP5 Supply, end users can now manage price calculation rules by themselves.
Here we see how Sankei uses ERP5‘s sale supply module to define discounts by combination of product, time and region.
Sankei‘s third improvement priority was handling of future changes in sale order management. When Sankei processes a sale order, the price sometimes changes after shipment and sometimes even after the invoice has been issued. With Sankei‘s old management system, those cases had to be handled manually. Therefore, Sankei could not have an accurate overview of current and past sales data. The objective for the ERP5 implementation was therefore to handle future changes of sale orders automatically. This improvement was realised using ERP5 Simulation, the key technology in ERP5 to implement any complex business process of manufacturing companies: planning of purchase and production orders, processing of incoming sale orders, shipment planning, invoicing, payment and many more. The first purpose of ERP5 Simulation is to automatically create previsions based on orders and constraints, for example the planning of production orders based on current sale orders and stock constraints. The second purpose is to solve inconsistencies between previsions and human decisions.
For invoicing of sale orders, ERP5 Simulation creates a planned sale invoice transaction once a sale order is confirmed. The sale invoice transaction contains the quantity and price information from the sale order lines. For Sankei, a customized simulation rule has been added which is applied as soon as the prize of a confirmed sale order line is changed. The simulation rule first checks, if the sale invoice corresponding to the sale order has been already issued or not. If the invoice has been issued, two new invoices are created automatically: One reversal invoice to compensate for the original invoice and one new invoice which contains the corrected prize. This way, the human decision to change the price of a sale order afterwards is taken in the sale order module while the consequences for invoicing are handled automatically. Reports for sale orders always reflect the correct price values, even if the price has been changed after sales.
Deciding the priorities for business process improvements and defining the most important requirements are key success factors for an ERP implementation. These tasks require dedicated resources at client side because it‘s the client who best knows his business processes. Ideally the client assigns a dedicated person to manage the ERP implementation project internally. This project manager should have a general overview of the company‘s processes and possess the authority to balance contradicting wishes of different individuals and groups in the company. The project manager decides the priorities for improvements that should be achieved through the ERP implementation and enforce changes in business processes to achieve these improvements.
Other than large organisations, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) such as Sankei often face challenge to free management resources for an ERP implementation project. This SME-specific burden is well known in information systems research. Because of lack of human resources and overwork of staff, SMEs often cannot dedicate enough resources to internal ERP project management. This in turn increases the risk that the ERP, once implemented, does not meet the requirements of the client.
Nexedi KK mastered the challenge resulting from lack of client side project management in the Sankei ERP5 implementation project by perseverance. Yusei Tahara, Nexedi KK CEO explains: "In the beginning of the project Sankei staff faced difficulties to express what is important for them. It was not possible for Sankei to assign a dedicated project manager to perform the requirement analysis internally. Nexedi KK mastered this challenging situation by perseverance: During 6 months we regularly visited every division and every site of the company, we talked to everybody. This way we achieved a deep understanding of Sankei as a company and its business processes. Step by step we assembled the list of requirements. Thanks to perseverance we completed the ERP5 implementation successfully and achieved high customer satisfaction. As Sankei‘s business processes evolve, we extend the ERP in an evolutionarily."
Proper project management at client side, in particular internal consolidation of requirements significantly reduces cost and time to delivery of an ERP implementation project.
If proper client-side project management cannot be provided because of lack of human resources, then perseverance helps to finish the ERP implementation successfully: requirements can be identified and implemented step by step through regular meetings with customer staff and evolutionary feature extension.
Identifying the most important business process improvements at an early stage is a key factor for a successful ERP implementation.
When replacing an old ERP system, master data clean-up is often required to take advantage of the new ERP implementation. Performing master data clean-up on the client side reduces the cost of the ERP implementation project.

Robert Capa’s Falling Soldier remains as one of the most famous war photographs ever taken. The image was taken during the Spanish Civil War, and depicts a solider being shot and falling backwards with his spine arched and arms splayed wide. The image is so famous for the way it captures the exact moment when a man died. However, while the photo is very famous it has long been questioned if the image is staged. Recently a professor named José Manuel Susperregui began researching the image and concluded that “”Capa’s picture was taken not at Cerro Muriano, just north of Córdoba, but near another town, about 35 miles away. Since that location was far from the battle lines when Capa was there, Mr. Susperregui said, it means that “the ‘Falling Soldier’ photo is staged, as are all the others in the series taken on that front.””
While the shot captured in the image has long been thought to be the work of a sniper, because there are no other soldiers in the frame. This causes more questions because Capa frequently stated that the image caught the shots of machine gun fire. Capa also told various accounts of how he was able to capture the image in interviews over the years. The issue remains however that whether or not the image was staged, all photography is staged to a certain extent. The nature of photography allows the photographer to select the frame of the image and reveal only what they want you to see. While there is no concrete evidence as to the authenticity of the image, it remains a powerful document of the Spanish Civil War.

Travel: Experience history just outside Washington, D.C.
Special to the Daily
Once you begin exploring the ornately lined streets of Washington, D.C., it’s clear that one site (say, the Capitol tour) leads to another (like the Library of Congress). With so many monumental sites screaming for attention, visitors might overlook some of the lesser-known highlights outside D.C., but so many are worth the extra effort to experience.
America’s Historic Triangle
Though Williamsburg is a bit of a drive — about 150 miles — it’s well worth the trek. In fact, America’s Historic Triangle is the most logical place to begin any tour of our nation’s history. The area includes Jamestown, York and Colonial Williamsburg, which take visitors through the struggles of the first, pre-Pilgrim colonies in 1607 to the Revolutionary and Civil wars.
Start at the national park’s historic Jamestown, with a short, informational drive, and then walk to the Memorial Church and the remaining foundations of homes, taverns and businesses.
Support Local Journalism
Don’t miss the original Jamestown Glasshouse and the adjacent, modern building in which apprentices spend four years learning the art of glassblowing, and demonstrate their talent every day for visitors; purchases of the one-of-a-kind vases, oil lamps, glasses, pitchers, vials, candlesticks, wine decanters, inkwells and other decor support the national park.
Afterward, visit the neighboring Jamestown Settlement and immerse yourself in its 17th-century living museum. Two distinct elements bring history to life: The first consists of a film depicting the early colonists’ struggles, lending a greater context for artifacts and gallery exhibits, which highlight England, pre-17th-century Virginia, colonists, Powhatans and Africans. The second aspect of Jamestown Settlement re-creates the colonial era with a Powhatan village, replicas of three ships and a colonist settlement.
In each, costumed interpreters explain daily life activities, including Powhatan games, blacksmithing and carpentry. Walking into cabins, ships and Powhatan homes made of sapling frames covered with reed mats gives both kids and adults a tactile experience of the nation’s early history.
To keep visitors going, Jamestown Settlement Cafe offers a surprisingly tasty and affordable variety, from freshly made pulled pork sandwiches, subs, burgers and pizzas to garden salads and stew, as well as ice cream and baked sweets.
Orient yourself with the 16-minute film “Siege of Yorktown” at Yorktown Battlefield’s visitor center. The national park offers guided tours with excellent storytelling rangers, as well as a self-guided, 7-mile battlefield tour, which includes the surrender field and a home that hosted surrender negotiations.
Then, stroll through the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown’s nearly 500 artifacts and interactive exhibits, including personal stories of enslaved and free African-Americans who fought on both sides of the American Revolution in the exhibit “Forgotten Soldier.”
Yorktown’s National Cemetery Lodge also depicts the Civil War through exhibits.
Before you leave Yorktown’s historic Main Street, enjoy fine dining along the riverside at the Riverwalk Restaurant or Water Street Grille. Both restaurants’ award-winning chefs use local, gourmet ingredients in their dishes, which range from salads, burgers and pizza to steak and seafood.
To fully explore Colonial Williamsburg, you’ll need at least two days. The living, 18th-century town animates colonial life through historic buildings, re-enactments, museums and tours.
Standout tours include the Governor’s Palace, the Courthouse, the Magazine and personal homes of elite citizens. The Governor’s Palace is a must-see, with its elaborate gardens and interior décor, while the Courthouse enacts legal proceedings, and the Magazine houses historic arms and ammunition.
All in all, 46 buildings offer personal insight into the time period, from wigmakers who demonstrate and describe their work, to weavers, tailors, silversmiths, shoemakers, printers, carpenters, apothecaries and more.
A host of interpreters act out stories of prominent people, from George Washington to Ann Wager (a widowed teacher), while the legendary fife and drum corps fills the streets with its patriotic tunes, as horses and carriages escort guests from one side of Colonial Williamsburg to another. Along the way, art museums showcase quirky toys, backwoods banjos and other antiques.
Stay for at least one evening to walk on ghost tours, watch magicians, listen to concerts, judge court trials of pirates, patriots and witches, and even drop in on a spinning class (as in, spindle, not cycling) or test your wits in the escape room.
Several Colonial Williamsburg taverns feature a variety of items, from colonial favorites like shepherd’s “pye” to seafood, steaks and world cuisine. A few cafes offer sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups and other lunch items.
For a family meal outside of Colonial Williamsburg, check out pizza, pasta, chicken, veal and seafood dishes at the locals’ favorite Italian restaurant: Anna’s Brick Oven.
A trip to America’s Historic Triangle places the monuments of Washington, D.C., monuments in context; it’s almost like absorbing a year of academic history in a few days — only, it’s much more fun. And early July is one of the area’s biggest celebration times, with readings of the Declaration of Independence and fife and drum corps performances beyond the usual holiday performances. In addition, November marks the 400th anniversary of the first English-speaking Thanksgiving in the New World — making it another great time to tour the nation’s Historic Triangle.

As the New York Times reports today, President Obama is marking the 40th annual Earth Day celebration by urging the passage of energy legislation to increase investments in renewable, clean energy, efforts critical to our national security and the health of our environment. While these issues can seem out of reach and global in nature, change can really start at home. Your home.
A report published by the White House in 2009 states that the residential sector emits more than twenty percent of the nation’s carbon emissions, the primary source of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Improving the energy-efficiency of our housing stock helps to shrink this share, and can translate to lower utility bills, particularly for low- and moderate-income families that tend to live in older, less efficient homes.
Efforts to develop new, energy-efficient affordable homes are well underway, with groups like Enterprise Community Partners providing non-profit housing developers with financial support and technical expertise to build homes that are “healthier, more energy efficient and better for the environment on a cost-effective basis” through their Green Communities program.
Preserving and retrofiting the existing housing stock is also critical to reducing carbon emissions. The preservation of existing affordable housing is inherently “green” and environmentally responsible, since utilizing existing structures produce less waste and uses less new materials and energy than new construction.
A recent forum hosted by NHC entitled, Partners in Innovation: Preserving Affordable Rental Housing through Energy Conservation, highlighted the benefits of policies to develop and maintain rental homes that are both energy-efficient and affordable and shared best practices in green rental housing.
While the energy-efficiency of homes is linked to affordability through lowering utility costs, transportation is another critical factor that contributes to household expenditures, as well as carbon emissions. Housing that is built at sufficient densities to support public transit, or located in close proximity to existing transit service, job centers, and other amenities, gives residents the opportunity to choose transportation alternatives that are less costly, and more energy-efficient, than a personal vehicle – or which allow them reduce car usage substantially.
The Center for Housing Policy’s report, Boston Regional Challenge, illustrates this point, finding that the average working household in the Boston region spends over $34,000 a year—or 54 percent of their income—on the combined costs of housing and transportation. The report emphasizes that affordable housing by itself is not sufficient and needs to be linked to strategies to reduce transportation costs, such as building mixed-income housing near public transit and job centers and zoning for a mix of uses to reduce the need to drive long distances to meet basic needs. Such strategies help keep costs low for working families, strengthen the economy, and lower the carbon emissions of current and future generations.
The energy-efficiency of the homes we live in, as well as where we live, have significant environmental implications. By considering policies to preserve and expand the supply of energy-efficient affordable homes near amenity-rich locations, we can reduce the nation’s carbon emissions and the energy expenditures that households make on utilities and transportation costs.

The Emptying of the Plains: The Comanche and Kalmyk Nomads in the Shadow of Empire
This paper is a research project framework for a comparative history of the Comanche and Kalmyk nomads, focused specifically on their conflicts with the expanding United States and Russian Empire amidst the decline of nomadic independence. By utilizing a comparative view, this work positions these groups and their interactions in a larger understanding of the expansion and consolidation of these two European-dominated nation-states. Both nation-states pursued explicit courses of expansion, creating huge areas of frontier that ran up against a common obstacle, the enormous grasslands of North America and Eurasia, and the horse riding nomads that called them home. This research utilizes first-hand accounts and the work of historians, exploring the parallel process of the destruction of independent nomadic political power. The similarities between the Comanche and Kalmyk experiences of state-nomad conflict appear striking, particularly in the context of attempts by the modern US and Russian governments to portray themselves as historical opposites. The sources paint a different picture, where American and Russian settler encroachment and state action led to the geographic confinement and political disempowerment of previously powerful nomad groups in a remarkably similar way. These research findings argue for a genuine transcontinental approach to frontier and the history of state-nomad conflicts to illuminate the structure of empire on two continents.

When a new disease comes to light, AIDS, SARS, and most recently COVID-19, the health experts and the media bandy about words like epidemic and pandemic. Today, COVID-19 has been described as on the verge of becoming a global pandemic.
The word pandemic with relation to disease means affecting all the people. pan meaning all, demos meaning people or district, Greek pandemos. So medically, speaking we see it as either potentially affecting everyone or more usually affecting every possible region of the world, in the sense of a global pandemic.
An epidemic has a similar meaning, the epi means among, and the demos might refer to people or a district with people, so among the people of a given district. It is usually used to refer to an outbreak in a specific region or among a group of people, hence the word epidemiology, the study of epidemics, outbreaks of disease in a given area or among a group of people. There is also usually some implication of the rapid spread of a given disease in an epidemic.
In contrast, a disease that is endemic is usually confined to a specific geographical group of people or region. The en simply meaning in.

State wildlife biologists and other natural resource professionals have recognized the need for accurate current vegetation maps to facilitate conservation planning and management for decades. The Oklahoma Geographic Information Council has pursued avenues to up-date and improve statewide current vegetation maps for at least the five years before this project began. Meanwhile, in Texas, a group led by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department launched an effort to develop fine spatial and thematic resolution current vegetation maps for Texas, the Texas Ecological Systems Mapping Project, in the summer of 2007 (Elliott et al. 2014). Results of this effort were reviewed by personnel within the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) in the spring of 2011. Likewise, personnel within the Gulf Coast Prairie and Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) were aware of results coming from the Texas project. The LCCs required seamless current vegetation data across state lines. Thus, the Oklahoma Ecological Systems classification and mapping project was launched in 2012 with initial funding from the ODWC and LCCs, and was finished by the summer of 2015. Funding to collect ground data and assist with classification and mapping was provided to the Oklahoma Biological Survey, University of Oklahoma. Funding to complete remote sensing, mapping, and interpretive information was provided to the Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership (MoRAP), University of Missouri. MoRAP was also the primary partner involved in the Texas Ecological Systems mapping project, and used expertise developed during that project to apply toward the Oklahoma project. Key state cooperators (e.g. representatives within the Oklahoma Geographic Information Council) were brought into the process early on via presentations both at a general meeting and at a land cover technical committee meeting. Groups represented within the Council will be among the primary end users, stewards, and modifiers of the current vegetation data under development.
The Ecological Systems Classification for the US, accessible via the NatureServe Explorer website, served as the basis for classification and mapping. This classification has been modified for Oklahoma and a 69-page document was delivered under separate cover to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The basic classification and mapping methods incorporated remote sensing for land cover (about 15 classes), and overlay of digital soils, %slope, and streams to create the map. A total of 3,709 georeferenced, quantitative data points were gathered in a systematic way, and 1,114 more georeferenced points were gathered to help improve the map.

On Oct. 27, 1920, citizens of Madison, Indiana gave the land for the park, 570 acres (230 ha), to the state of Indiana at the suggestion of Richard Lieber. This was after a year's work by the citizens. A system of naturalist programs for Indiana state parks started in 1927, with Clifty Falls being one of the first four with one.
The park features Clifty Creek, Little Clifty Creek, and a canyon in which the sun only shines during midday.
It has many beautiful nature trails, especially those that go near Clifty Falls. The Clifty Inn is available for overnight guests, and the park contains a campground with sites for RV and tent campers.
Clifty Creek Canyon traverses the entire north-south length of the state park. The upper rim of the canyon at the north end of the park is 800 feet (240 m) above sea level, descending to the valley of the Ohio River which is 500 feet (150 m) above sea level. The creek descends down to about 750 feet (230 m) before dropping over one of the two Clifty Falls. Then it runs downward until reaching the Ohio River. Two other major canyons enter Clifty Creek Canyon from the east, they are Deans Branch (Tunnel Falls) and Hoffman Branch (Hoffman Falls).
Clifty Falls State Park is named for the waterfalls on Clifty Creek.
- Big Clifty Falls - 60 feet (18 m)
- Little Clifty Falls - 60 feet (18 m)
- Hoffman Falls - 78 feet (24 m)
- Tunnel Falls - 83 feet (25 m)
Clifty Falls State Park has ten trails that vary from easy, moderate, rugged and very rugged. Trail two is the only very rugged trail and it is the most rugged trail in all of Indiana. Because of the danger of falling rocks, the end of the trail is blocked from the public. There are old steps, also blocked, that used to lead down to the falls. You can see the falls from an overlook carved out of the side of the canyon.
The Tunnel is an abandoned Railroad Tunnel that was never completed. It is closed to the public from Nov. 1 - April 31 to protect hibernating bats from the White-Nosed Bat Syndrome.
