I remember, as if it was yesterday, the enthusiasm with which a teacher of ours in school used to read out and narrate to us the ‘story’ of Alexander the Great which was in our prescribed syllabus. Taking this (rather valid) feedback on board, Plato and his pals added “with broad flat nails” to their definition of a man.“For my own part, I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.”- Attributed to Alexander the Great Not to be outdone, Diogenes plucked a chicken and strolled into the academy, yelling, “Behold, I have brought you a man.” No word on whether this one was honest. Being rather tongue-in-cheek, Plato responded with “A featherless biped.” Which apparently passed for humour in Athens at the time. At some point in Athens, Plato was asked to describe a man. Perhaps the most famous story about Diogenes involves a chicken. When asked why he was doing this, Diogenes responded, “I do not want to be thought the only idler in such a busy multitude I am rolling my tub to be like the rest.”īut you know, in Ancient Greek… Who are you calling a chicken? He got up and started to push his jar/home around with no particular aim in mind. When the city burst into a flurry of activity (I assume they were all hanging bunting and desperately trying to recall the second verse of the national anthem), Diogenes was found not wanting. King Philip II of Macedon (who had a rather famous son named Alex), popped round to Corinth for a cuppa and a chat (I assume). During his time in Corinth, a rather important man came to visit the city. He continued to yell at random passers-by and by many reports managed to find himself a new pot to sleep in. Once in Corinth, Diogenes did what he did best – he tutored his owner’s sons and was apparently set free at some point. Oh and being one of the three founding fathers of Cynicism.īut it wasn’t all fun and games, as Diogenes found himself captured by pirates and sold into slavery, winding up in the city of Corinth as a teacher (a fate worse than death). Such as carrying a lamp around during the day, claiming he was looking for an honest man. Diogenes believed that if you were virtuous, it would be better shown in your actions and not your words, just like his hero Heracles (or Hercules if you insist on the Roman version.)īut Diogenes didn’t spend all of his time in Athens sleeping in his ceramic cave like an alcoholic hermit crab. I could understand if he’d been forced to empty it all by himself, but apparently that wasn’t the case. This thinker of the ages lived in an old wine pot in the market at Athens. So what separated Diogenes from Socrates and Plato? Well, for starters, he spent a fairly large portion of his life living in a pot. Living in pot – living in a baked clay pot (I’m looking at you, Pythagoras.) But they weren’t all that way, if indeed any of them really were.īut when you’re talking about the more unusual philosophers, you can’t get further from the image than Diogenes, who was born in modern day Turkey in 412 or 404 BC and died at Corinth in 323 BC (spoilers). Greek philosopher… Those words immediately summon to mind the image of a regal figure dressed in a dashing toga, putting the world to rights or ruining mathematics for everyone by coming up with a ridiculously convoluted way to see if your ladder is long enough. They’ve also given us quite a few philosophers over the years. When you think of Greece, a few things probably come to mind – sunshine, beaches, feta.

The application automatically gives you some real estate in a virtual world, where you can build new structures to polish your skills. Roblox requires you to create a user account, which includes a specific avatar for your profile. Moreover, you can explore thousands of virtual worlds created by a novice and experienced users around the world. Right from the get-go, you can start creating worlds or complex structures. While you might be annoyed with the limited features in the free version, they’re sufficient to get started with the games. How to get started?Īs soon as you sign up, Roblox for Windows shares a list of customizable avatars, in-game purchases, virtual real estate, and characters. However, it’s better to not expect studio-like production, since the Roblox app is a platform focused on user-generated content. It’s worth mentioning that each world has a different sound theme. The creations are backed by decent audio choices, which keep you engaged throughout the game. Everything on the screen is displayed with large-sized icons, which have been given vibrant colors for easy identification. It’s easy to find different controls, avatars, tools, etc. Where the program falls behind in terms of visuals, it wins over competitors with a simple interface. While other similar games like Gacha Club and Gacha Life focus on life-like creations, Roblox still gives priority to blurred colors and blocky appearances. Having said that, adults might not like the amateurish user-generated content, and the program looks ideal only for kids interested in adventure games. While Roblox seems inspired by the pixelated worlds in Minecraft, the program features plenty of original creations. Additionally, you can use Roblox for Android, and create, edit, or explore virtual worlds on the go. Since the program has a solid user base of over 100 million players per month, it comes with numerous free user-generated content options or worlds. The application lets you work with complex structures, collect resources and build architectural marvels on your PC. It's a great app for anyone, whether it's a business that travels a lot, or even for someone who just wants to keep up with where he/she stands in the world. The developers of the Geosetter app think that there are many features available for you to take advantage of. Another program that comes highly recommended by the Geosetter developers, especially for those who are Windows users, is called "Xenu", which allows you to quickly see the geographic location of any place around the world. As with many freeware tools, it is easy to use and easy to understand. GeoSecurity is another program that you can use to track the path of airplanes over the country. For example, if you are from Europe but want to visit Australia, rather than purchasing plane tickets and spending extra money to fly from another country, you can download an application that will easily let you know when the airports in both places change. Houdahgeo is probably the best out of all of them, as it allows you to import/ Export photos from your digital camera directly into your desktop or mobile device.įor some people it's important to be able to easily change to data on the fly. Some other good programs such as GeoTag, Houdahgeo, GeoPhoto and Picomio are all Free and very good.

Sniper-in-chief Karl Fairburne still has a dodgy haircut, the animations aren't always the most natural-looking, and it didn't particularly impress even when we played on "ultra" on PC. It's a nice option to be able to play through the entire trilogy in order on the same platform, and Rebellion has done a decent job with certain parts of this remaster. While the gap between the first game and V2 was huge in more ways than one, subsequent entries are much closer together in terms of release and quality. It's not a game-ruining flaw by any means, but the twisting yet ultimately linear city setting is less interesting to explore. That being the case, returning to the bedraggled streets of 1945-Berlin put into focus for us just how far Rebellion has come when it comes to building sandbox levels for Sniper Elite. In the North African setting of the third game, and in Italy in the fourth, the maps are significantly bigger than they are in V2, and those games were all the better for the shift in scale. For starters, the close-quarters combat has gone up a gear in the last seven years, and while it's certainly not the optimal way to play, much was done to improve the experience when you have to put the rifle away to deal with a more direct attack.Īnother area where the series has changed is the maps that you explore. Since then we've been treated to two more mainline entries in the series, with each one refining the gameplay in a number of ways. When we reviewed the original Sniper Elite V2 back in 2012 we enjoyed the visceral combat and long-range gunplay, but the low-quality enemy AI and clunky close-quarters combat held it back. While we missed the first game, we've played them all since V2 and every time a new one comes around you can be reasonably assured that it's going to give you a good time as you to sneak around the battlefields of WW2 with your trusty sniper rifle in-hand. We've grown quite fond of the Sniper Elite series over the years. In Brawl, Toon Link's Hookshot has a shorter range in grabs and tethers compared to Link's Clawshot, but this makes it slightly faster. It also has two hitboxes that follow the same mechanic from Link's Clawshot. Similar to Link's Clawshot, if it misses, Toon Link is left wide open. 4, Toon Link uses his to perform the tether recovery and grab. Additionally, the Hookshot may be used immediately after an air dodge, meaning a directional air dodge can give additional distance before using the Hookshot. Using this technique, one can use mindgames to assist in recoveries by choosing either to sweet spot the ledge or grapple another point of the wall however, should the wall-grapple miss or otherwise fail, Link/Young Link will be left in the " helpless" animation. This is notable on Princess Peach's Castle. Using the Hookshot on an incline causes it to retract immediately, which often leaves Link vulnerable for short periods of time. Also in Melee, Link/Young Link use this to perform the wall-grapple, since the Hookshot can latch to essentially any wall at any point at appropriate distances. In Melee and Brawl, however, the Hookshot/Clawshot (respectively) fires straight out, falls to the ground, and is then slung back towards Link. In Super Smash Bros., the hook of the Hookshot fires straight out, and then returns straight back. Ultimate, and Toon Link's grab in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Young Link's grab in Super Smash Bros. The Hookshot is Link's grab in Super Smash Bros. On the other hand, even though, from a centralized point of view, these inventory management decisions are interesting topics to investigate, we are going to approach these issues within the distributed decision-making (DDM) framework that considers all areas of the value chain. In addition, the value chain provides a framework for identifying the criteria to be considered in decision-making inventory management through all areas of the company. The most used tool for the identification of these stakeholders, and to model this complex system, is the analysis of the value chain. These decisions are part of a complex system and involve stakeholders from different areas of the company, where each agent has only limited information and where the cooperation among such agents is key for the system’s performance. The decisions related to inventory management are especially relevant in a customer service orientation approach. Therefore, it is important to carry out an internal analysis of the company's processes, which should be focused on achieving the satisfaction of internal and external customers, as well as guaranteeing the best performance in the operation. Likewise, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must compete with multinationals belonging to the same sector, which have a greater infrastructure, in terms of processes and finance strength, which means that SMEs need to increase productivity levels through decision models.īeing able to develop competitive advantages with customer service orientation allows companies to excel in local and foreign markets. It is necessary for companies to be competitive to respond to the requirements of increasingly demanding customers in terms of cost, quality, and product delivery time. Nowadays, the level of business competitiveness has to be high when facing the opening of markets as an intrinsic factor of globalization. Therefore, the methodology allows us to solve inventory management DDM based on multicriteria ABC classification and was validated in a Colombian company belonging to the graphic arts sector. These criteria were defined as indicators that measure the performance of the areas of the value chain related to inventory management and were used to classify ABC inventory of the products according to these selected criteria. This methodology uses the areas of the value chain as a theoretical framework to identify the criteria necessary for the application of the AHP multicriteria group decision-making technique. This work proposes a methodology that combines the analysis of the value chain and the AHP technique, in order to improve communication and the performance of the areas related to inventory management decision making. In this paper, a distributed inventory control approach was used with the decisions allowing communication between the stakeholders and with a multicriteria group decision-making perspective. Inventory management becomes part of a complex system that involves stakeholders from different areas of the company, where each agent has limited information and where the cooperation between such agents is key for the system’s performance. These approaches must be overcome by others that consider multiple criteria, involving several areas of the companies and taking into account the opinions of the stakeholders involved in these decisions. Traditionally, decision making in inventory management was based on approaches conditioned only by cost or sales volume. The increase of quantity and variety of items, on the one hand, and demand and customer expectations, on the other hand, are transformed into a greater complexity in inventory management, requiring effective communication and agreements between the leaders of the logistics processes. The need of organizations to ensure service levels that impact on customer satisfaction has required the design of collaborative processes among stakeholders involved in inventory decision making. Part of the fun of time travel stories about the future is seeing what they got right and wrong. (Needless to say, that particular piece of information pays off spectacularly later on, in one of the film’s best moments.) Apparently you can’t travel to the future because “it hasn’t happened yet”, but you can go to the past – just being careful about meeting a past version of yourself, because matter can’t occupy the same physical space. Still, at least the writers thought about putting some rules in place. (Also, if you’re a Time Cop, the handheld machine returns you to the Time Shuttle, but apparently not if you’re a Time Criminal.) There are also smaller, handheld machines that can pop you back again, like a remote reset button or something, but none of these things are used in a way that makes any sense, particularly during the Time Trial scene, when a criminal is sentenced to death and returned to a moment where he nearly died. There is, indeed, a proper time machine – it looks a bit like a space shuttle and operates by jetting towards a wall before disappearing into a sort of time puddle – but it seems to just deposit people in random locations when they reach their destination and the ship itself doesn’t travel with them. Flash forward a decade and Max is now a veteran TEC Timecop, hot on the trail of suspicious Senator McComb (Ron Silver), who’s secretly abusing his access to time travel technology in order to fund a Presidential bid.Ĭonsidering the entire premise of the movie revolves around a time-travelling cop, it’s odd that the script is so inconsistent when it comes to the actual time travel. Shortly afterwards, beat cop Max Walker (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is debating whether or not he should accept a job with the TEC, when he’s attacked and left for dead, while his wife (Mia Sara) dies when his building is blown up. The story begins in 1994, with the invention of time travel and the establishment of the Time Enforcement Commission (or TEC), which is deemed necessary because the technology has already fallen into the wrong hands, potentially creating ripples in time. It might be nonsensical in places, but JCVD kicks plenty of ass and hey, at least it delivers on that tagline.ĭirected by Peter Hyams (who subsequently reteamed with Van Damme for Sudden Death), Timecop is based on a three-part story that first appeared in the Dark Horse Comics anthology. There’s still time to save her.” That’s the irresistible tagline for this entertaining time travel thriller that’s generally reckoned to be Jean-Claude Van Damme’s best movie.

Sternberg conducted with energy until the end of the orchestra’s twenty-fifth season. Maestro Sternberg led the Waco Symphony Orchestra to success, putting on classical as well as pops concerts, accompanying musical guests, and leading the local debut of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. Patrons of the orchestra enjoyed the first season of the Waco Symphony as it put on three concerts, including a successful performance by Texas pianist Van Cliburn. On April 24, 1962, the Waco Symphony Association, Incorporated, was established. In 1961, after a decade of no symphony performances in the city, members of the Chamber of Commerce met with Daniel Sternberg, dean of the Baylor University School of Music to speak about reintroducing a symphony. In 1950, Reiter relinquished his role as conductor and left forthcoming seasons unplanned. Reiter led the symphony to perform for four splendid evenings a year for eleven seasons. On May 2, 1939, the Waco Symphony Society was born. The establishment of a permanent symphony was quick in coming, as local patrons of the arts successfully harnessed the momentum of the opening concert. At the end of the final piece, well over 1,500 people remained to cheer, yell bravos, and give their approval for the work of the symphony and to plea for continuation of the organization. The final piece, Johann Strauss’s Tales from the Vienna Woods, left the audience with a lighthearted touch that rounded out the evening perfectly. Reiter’s orchestra gave their all as they played through four pieces of music that demonstrated the musicians’ disciplined sound and dynamic range. On the evening of the debut concert, Reiter gave the eager audience a bow and raised his baton to bring ninety musicians to attention. In the weeks leading to the opening, Baylor faculty and students and local and amateur musicians practiced to play as a single unit. With much enthusiasm, the new symphony orchestra set the date of its debut performance for April 20, 1939. Patrons of the arts assured that the Baylor University School of Music faculty and students would support his endeavors, and the university offered Waco Hall as a performance venue. At once, Mary and her sister Rae put together a list of local patrons of the arts. Novich, China.” Recognizing the name from his list of contacts, Reiter introduced himself to Miss Mary Novich, stating that he wanted to start a symphony. While waiting for his connection to Fort Worth, Reiter wandered along the nearby streets and noticed a sign that read, “H. Waco was a scheduled stop on Reiter’s bus. After denial from jobs in New York, Reiter collected contact information from musicians in Southern cities, purchased a bus ticket, and headed south. Fleeing from Hitler’s inferno, Reiter went to New York City in 1939 with a dream to land a job as a conductor. However, an orchestra conducted by Max Reiter began in 1939 as an experiment that laid the foundation for the Waco Symphony Orchestra's classical performances today.īorn in Trieste, Italy, in 1905, Reiter began his musical career as assistant of the Opera of Berlin, and conducted orchestras in other musical centers of Europe. The Waco Symphony Orchestra Association, Incorporated, as we know it, began its concerts in 1962. The Waco Symphony Orchestra is a music organization that brings enrichment to the Central Texas community. |
