På søndag skjer det altså. Advent. Jeg har to adventstjerner, eventuelt tre, hvis man teller med en stjerne guirlander. (Bilder kommer på søndag). Det er masse fint å velge mellom, nedfor finner du et lite utvalg.

Hva slags adventstjerne har du?

Jeg har længe gået  og ønsket mig en charity t-shirt fra Marc Jacobs. Favoritten er helt klart den med Victoria Beckham – helst i sort eller gråmeleret. Tror det bliver en af julegaverne til mig selv i år, og så støtter man jo også lige et godt formål = ekstra bonus. Jeg kommer nok til, at smutte forbi butikken efter arbejde idag

Pt. er dette mine 3 favoritter – er dog ikke så vild med den lilla og røde farve, men fantastiske billeder. Første t-shirt er med Victoria Beckham, nr.2 er med Dita von Teese og nr.3 er med Lily Donaldsen – se dem alle her.   

A la Vall d’Àssua, al Pallars Sobirà, prop de Sort, hi passa el riu Pamano. La Vall on te lloc la novela de Jaume Cabré si que és tan bonica com ell la descriu. Per arribar-hi heu de pujar per Tàrrega i Balaguer cap a Tremp i Pobla de Segur, per arribar fins a Sort. D’allà surt la carretera que us portarà fins les antigues pistes d’esquí de Llesui, al final del Vall. Haureu atravessat tot Àssua. Poblets com Altron, Surp, (a la foto), Bernui o Seurí. Llogarets de pessebre on la natura s’ha conservat i els rius encara canten. La Vall d’Àssua, malgrat la seva corprenedora bellessa, és de les menys conegudes de tot el pirineu català. La gent passà ràpida camí de la Bonaigua, de l’Aran o de la Vall Ferrera, sense adonar-se que, damunt Sort te un paradís a la seva disposició. Sobretot a la tardor, quan s’encén de mil colors, però també amb el verd tendral de la primavera, plena de flors i d’aigua arreu de la Vall. I per descomptat a l’estiu, on ve molt de gust refrescar-se en les aigües dels rierols i els gorgs, i estirar-se a la gespa d’un prat de dalla. O a l’hivern, malgrat que l’estació d’esquí està morta, la neu cobreix rutes i camins, arbres i teulades, invitant-vos a gaudir-la. Moltes caminades possibles per tota la vall. Ideal pels infants. Nosaltres hem dormit a Bernuí i Seurí, en dues cases rurals d’aquestes localitats. Ara, ja no hi són. N’hi moltes més arreu d’Àssua. Només us cal mirar la web de la Vall. També hotelets cassolans. Com el Roch, o el Vall d’Àssua. Ambdòs bons restaurants també. Si voleu quelcom més d’encant podeu anar a Sort, a l’hotel Pessets, i els seus apartaments. Un lloc que mai no us fallarà. Bona taula també.

Por el Valle de Àssua, en el Pallars Sobirà, cerca de Sort, pasa el río Pamano. En este valle és donde tiene lugar la novela de Jaume Cabré. I sí, es tan bonita como él la describe. Para llegar hay que subir por Tàrrega y Balaguer hacia Tremp y Pobla de Segur, para llegar hasta Sort. De allí sale la carretera que les llevará hasta las antiguas pistas de esquí de Llesui, al final del Valle. Deberá atravesar todo Àssua. Verà pueblos como Altron, Surp, (en la foto), Bernui o Seurí. Aldeas de pesebre donde la naturaleza se ha conservado y los ríos aún cantan. La Vall d’Àssua, pese a su sobrecogedora belleza, es de las menos conocidas de todo el pirineo catalán. La gente pasa rápida camino de la Bonaigua, del Aran o de la Vall Ferrera, sin darse cuenta de que, encima del mismo Sort tiene un paraíso a su disposición. Sobre todo en otoño, cuando se enciende todo el valle de mil colores, pero también con el verde tierno de la primavera, llena de flores y de agua. Y por supuesto en verano, donde apetece mucho refrescarse en las aguas de los arroyos y las pozas, y tumbarse en el césped de un prado de siega. O en invierno, aunque la estación de esquí está muerta, cuando la nieve cubre rutas y caminos, árboles y tejados, invitando a disfrutarla. Muchas caminatas, cortas y largas són posibles por todo el valle. Ideal para los niños. Nosotros hemos dormido en Bernui y Seurí, en dos casas rurales de estas localidades. Ahora, ya no están. Hay muchas más en otras partes de Àssua. Sólo hay que mirar la web del valle. También hotelitos caseros. Como el Roch, o el Valle de Àssua. Ambos con buenos restaurantes también. Si desea algo más de encanto puede ir hasta Sort, y dormir en el hotel Pessets, o en sus apartamentos. Un lugar que nunca os fallará. Buena mesa también.

Clearly, strategic planning is no panacea. Strategic planning is simply a set of concepts, procedures, and tools designed to help leaders, managers, and planners think and act strategically. Used in wise and skillful ways by a “coalition of the willing,” strategic planning can help organizations focus on producing effective decisions and actions that further the organization’s mission, meet in mandates, and satisfy key stakeholders. But strategic planning is not a substitute for strategic thinking and acting. Only caring and committed people can do that. And when used thoughtlessly, strategic planning can actually drive out precisely the kind of strategic thought and action it is supposed to promote.

Furthermore, strategic planning is not a substitute for leadership. There is simply no substitute for leadership when it comes to using strategic planning to enhance organizational performance. At least some key decision makers and process champions must be committed to the strategic planning process, or any attempts to use it are bound to fail.

In addition, strategic planning is not synonymous with creating an organizational strategy. Organizational strategies have numerous sources, both planned and unplanned. Strategic planning is likely to result in statement of organizational intentions, but what is realized in practice will be some combination of what is intended and what emerges along the way. Strategic planning can help organizations develop and implement effective strategies, but they should also remain open to unforeseen opportunities. Too much attention to strategic planning and excessive reverence for strategic plans can build organizations to other unplanned and unexpected—yet incredibly useful—sources of information, insight, and action.

The discipline necessary for strategic planning can be of two sorts. The first harkens back to Latin root of the word “discipline,” emphasizing instruction, training, education, and learning. The second embodies later interpretations of the word, emphasizing order, control, and punishment. Emphasis should be placed on education and learning, although there clearly are occasions when imposing order, taking control, and enforcing appropriate sanctions are appropriate. Certainly, key leaders, managers, and planners can best use strategic planning as an educational and learning tool, to help them figure out what is really important and what should be done about it. Sometimes this means following a particular sequence of steps and preparing formal strategic plans, but not necessarily. The ultimate goal of strategic planning should not be a rigid adherence to a particular process or an instance on the production of plans. Instead, strategic planning should promote wise strategic thought and action on behalf of an organization and its key stakeholders. What steps to follow, in what sequence, and whether or not to prepare formal plans are subsidiary concerns.

Igår var der ikke kun 1 måned til jul, men også kundeaften i Vero Moda i Hellerup. Og som den fashion/rabat junkie jeg er, så slog jeg da liiiige et smut forbi Vero Moda. Hvilket viste sig, at være en god ide – jeg fik ihvertfald 2 cardigans og en basic top. (Jeg er knap så god med et kamera, så billederne yder slet ikke de to fab cardigans retfærdighed!). Den sorte cardigan har lommer på siden, og kan ikke lukkes. Den fersken-farvet cardigan ultra lækker blød! Og toppen er ret basic. Men de 3 items, kan klart anbefales.

I finally managed to create a solution with all the bells whistling and sort… as far as I know.

The Visual Studio 2008 solution can de found here.
The SQL database can be found here.
Attach the database in SQL. If you find any problems or have any questions, please leave a comment or send me a mail.

For this solution to work, you need to have added the AJAX-entries to the web.config of your MOSS2007 with SP1 installation, as well as the infrastructure-update.
Compile and add the compiled DLL’s to the BIN-directory of your site. By default, the Debug-version automatically gets compiled to the path “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin”.
Then, add the correct entries in web.config (SafeControls and Assemblies), then, add the WebParts (DevTinkeringParents en DevTinkeringChilds) to the WebPart-gallery and put them in a WebPart-zone on a page of your liking.

You also need to have Visual Studio enhancements for WSS 1.3 installed, because the WebParts are based on the SharePoint WebPart-template.

The suggestion for today is about protecting the rights of children. Here in Australia it is sometimes said that children have more rights than their parents and to some extent this does appear to be a sound argument. More needs to be done to ensure parental rights in the area of discipline (note I didn’t say child abuse), etc.

However, throughout the world children face regular exploitation and abuse. The more that can be done to prevent this sort of abuse the better.

For more information on the rights of children visit:

I will always seek to protect the rights of children wherever I see them threatened. This is something that I believe begins right where you live.

Hoje vou responder um email de uma leitora a Heloisa, que me pediu para falar mais sobre o algoritmo bubble sort, vamos lá.

Algoritmo 1:

1. Procedimento BubbleSort(Vetor)
2. var AUX {variavel de apoio}
3. Inicio
4. para i=0 até n-1 faça
5. para j=0 até n-1 faça
6. se vetor[j] > vetor[j+1] então
7. AUX = vetor[j]
8. vetor[j] = vetor[j+1]
9. vetor[j+1] = AUX
10. fim_se
11. fim_para
12. fim_para

O Bubble Sort ou “metodo bolha” como é chamado, consiste em correr um vetor comparando cada elemento com o elemento seguinte:

vetor[j] > vetor[j+1]

No caso de organizar as informações crescente, se o elemento comparadao com o vetor[i] for menor (<) ou igual (=) ao elemento, nada se faz, porém se o elemento comparado com o vetor[i] for maior (>) que o elemento, inverte-se a posição dos 2 elementos, comparando assim com todos os elementos até finalizar o vetor.

O máximo de execuções que esse algoritmo faz para que o vetor fique ordenado é (N-1), em que N é o número de elementos do vetor.

Existe também uma variação do algoritmo Bubble Sort, onde não existe uma variável Auxiliar, para fazer a troca utiliza-se um calculo matemático, no começo parece estranho como ele trabalha mas analisando bem é fácil de assimilar.

vejamos:

Digamos que:

• j = 5
• i = 3

Então

• j = j + i –> 5 + 3 = 8
• o j agora vale 8
• i = j – i –> 8 – 3 = 5
• agora o i vale 5
• j = j – i –> 8 – 5 = 3
• agora o j vale 3

Pronto trocamos os vales fazendo calculos, depois disso o valor inverte;

• j = 3
• i = 5

Vejamos o algoritmo:

Algoritmo 2:

1. Procedimento BubbleSort(Vetor)
2. Inicio
3. para i=0 até n-1 faça
4. para j=0 até n-1 faça
5. se vetor[i] > vetor[j] então
6. vetor[j] = vetor[j] + vetor[i]
7. vetor[i] = vetor[j] – vetor[i]
8. vetor[j] = vetor[j] – vetor[i]
9. fim_se
10. fim_para
11. fim_para

Utilizando as linguagem de programação PASCAL e C, veremos abaixo como fica o algoritmo nas duas linguagens:

Em Pascal:

Em C

• void BubbleSort(Vetor A){
• int aux, i, j;
• for(i=0;i<n;i++){
• for(j=0;j<n;j++){
• if(a[j] > a[j+1]){
• aux = a[j];
• a[j] = a[j+1];
• a[j+1] = aux;
• }
• }
• }
• }

When a something in your home become so overwhelming all you can do is shut the door and ignore it, then its time to call in a professional to help.  With the blessing of some dear friends of mine, I would like to share before and after photos of their projects.  To help you understand the before pictures, please recognize that this couple is working full-time, starting their own business, and attending school full-time.  Life for them is running at a thousand miles per hour, and taking time to tackle a project like this was at the bottom of the “to do” list, yet at the top of the stress list.  Often our most stressful things in life, are the ones we don’t have the time to tackle.

The great thing about this project is that I was able to work with them through the entire planning phase, but then complete the project almost without their help entirely, and then hand them the finished product.  And for the OCD in me, it was pure joy!  In planning the project, which included organizing two bedrooms in the house, we quickly realized that the function of the two rooms in question needed to be switched.  The larger bedroom was being used for a guest room, while the smaller bedroom was functioning as an office/den.  In switching the purposes of the rooms, we gave the office/den a much larger area (which will allow for the future purchase of a larger desk) and put the guest quarters in a smaller, but less used room.  I promise their guests will not know the difference.

Den room before making it guest room.

Guest room after shot

So here are the before and after pictures to share.  This was such a fun project and gave me some great ideas for suggestions to pass along. They are as follows:

1. Re-evaluate the use for each room in the house.  Like my friends, are you saving your best room for guests, and using your smallest room every day? Why!? This is your home, your castle.  Utilize the rooms as they work best for you.  Your guests (the few times they stay) will not mind a bed tucked into the corner of a seldom used, smaller room.  Re-claim what you need to make life easier for you.

Guest room before the swap

2. Plan. Plan. Plan.  By taking an entire day before the project to plan we were able to start and finish this room swap in two days, including the painted accent walls, and re-organized closets.  But planning was an entire day of working with them on what they wanted along with my suggestions on how the rooms should be set up.  We measured every piece of furniture and sketched the rooms on graph paper to get a feel for dimensions.

We also needed to plan what items needed to be stored in each of the room closets.  Additionally the function of the den/office needed to be very specific given the fact that they are launching a new business and needed lots of paperwork at their fingertips and a filing system that would work for them at this time until they grow larger.

3. Plan decorating into your organizing.  In this case, my friends knew they wanted accent walls in the rooms, but had never had the time to paint.  Since we were effectively emptying the rooms to make the move, it was the best time to take advantage of the empty room, and paint accent walls.  My friends selected a paint color and purchased the paint prior to my arrival, which also made the project go much smoother.

4. Lastly, structure the physical move and coordinate it with the organization of the rooms.  In this case we moved all large furniture into the living room, then moved the large pieces into their new rooms, and covered them prior to painting.  All other items stayed out of the rooms.  Only after the paint was dry and all large pieces of furniture were arranged, did I begin to tackle the organization of all the smaller things.  By having the larger pieces in place, I was able to effectively put stuff away and organize as I went.  Trying to organize first, then move furniture would have made the project much more difficult.

I hope this inspires you to tackle something that feels overwhelming.  In just two days, we took a lot of stress off this couple and their home feels new again!  Plan. Plan. Plan.  And you too can rejuvenate your home and reclaim space!

Don’t Agonize, Organize!

First things first, read about the mx.collections.Sort Class before going in to the code below.

About the Post,suppose i have a AC[ArrayCollection] like below;

[Bindable]
private var arrClldetails:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{Fname:"Kranthi", Lname:"Kata", dob:"21 Sep 79"},
{Fname:"Vasanth", Lname:"Lola", dob:"11 Jun 80"},
{Fname:"Manoj", Lname:"Pati", dob:"16 July 81"},
{Fname:"John McClain", Lname:"Mela", dob:"15 Feb 72"},
{Fname:"Ross", Lname:"Geller", dob:"02 Jan 74"},
{Fname:"Chandler", Lname:"Bing", dob:"18 Oct 76"}
]);

Now i want to Sort the “dob” Date field in the AC.,so for this i need to
write a compareFunction for Sort which in turn is applied to the AC like below,

//Compare Function
private function fnCompareFunction(ObjA:Object,ObjB:Object,fields:Array = null):int
{
//fnDtfParceFunct is a Date parse function avail in DownloadCode.
var dateA:Date=fnDtfParceFunct(ObjA.dob,”DD/MM/YY”);
var dateB:Date=fnDtfParceFunct(ObjB.dob,”DD/MM/YY”);
return ObjectUtil.dateCompare(dateA, dateB);
}

Now apply this CompareFunction to Sort and then apply that to AC like below,

var sort:Sort=new Sort();
sort.compareFunction=fnCompareFunction;
arrClldetails.sort=sort;

Now refresh the AC for Sort to take effect,

arrClldetails.refresh();

Nations are built not with bricks and stones but with the capacity to create and apply knowledge. The result of knowledge creation and application in manufacturing and management practices is well demonstrated by Japan. Today we are witness to many industrialized economies that are strengthening their manufacturing activities simply by adopting these techniques.

The distinguishing characteristics associated with Japanese manufacturing techniques include an emphasis on designing and redesigning processes to optimize efficiency and a strong commitment to quality.

The manufacturing techniques that Japanese companies practice provide a competitive advantage and outstanding economic performance. The key for success is an understanding of the broad context of manufacturing culture, infrastructure and environment. These sound manufacturing and business techniques created and adopted by leading Japanese manufacturers have turned out to be the secret of their market leadership in many industries.

Following are a few of these concepts, which can help in managing any business set-up in a better way:

• Kaizen is one such technique, which in Japanese means ‘improve.’ This is commonly recognized as practices focusing on continuous improvement in manufacturing activities, business activities in general, and even life in general, depending on interpretation and usage. By improving standardized activities and processes, Kaizen helps in eliminating waste.
• Another management Japanese technique is the 5-S. It is a technique used to establish and maintain quality environment in an organization. It has five elements: Seiri (sorting out useful and frequently used materials and tools from unwanted and rarely used things); Seiton (keeping things in the right place systematically so that searching or movement time is minimized); Seiso (keeping everything around you clean and in a neat manner); Seiketsu (standardizing the above principles in everyday life) and Shitsuke (inculcating good habits and practicing them continuously). The 5-S practice helps everyone in the organization to live a better life.
• Kanban and ‘Just in Time’ are two other practices in inventory management practices that were pioneered by the Japanese automobile manufacturers, such as Toyota. Quality improvement, on the other hand, is the result of lower proportion of component scrap since the components spend less time in the supply chain.
• Poka-yoke is a process improvement focused on training of workers for mastering the increasingly complicated tasks to selectively redesign the tasks so they could be more easily and reliably mastered. It involves designing a foolproof process to eliminate the chance of errors.
• Jidoka is a practice by means of which an individual worker runs several machines simultaneously. Japan thus designs such machines that eliminate both error and the need for constant supervision.
• Muda is another technique that reduces wasteful activity in service processes. It ensures process efficiency and effectiveness.
• Mura curiously combines rigidity and flexibility and thus teaches service process improvement.
• Reducing Muri means reducing physical strain. In services process improvement, Muri applies to convoluted and unnecessary routings, physical transfer, and distances paper files may have to travel for a process to complete.
• Genchi Gembutsu means going to the actual scene (genchi) and confirming the actual scene (gembutsu). Observation of service processes at the point where it is actually delivered may unearth a host of problems such as lack of training, unnecessary steps, or a number of other areas that would benefit from small but significant process improvement ideas.

This is a glimpse of manufacturing techniques that Japan has so intellectually created and so profoundly practiced in its manufacturing systems that even with no natural resources, it has acquired the status of one of the most industrialized nations. Can we learn from Japan?
