...I. Introduction SCM Globe is a supply chain game designed to teach concepts in supply chain design, demand forecasting, resource allocation, and production planning by the use of illustrating how different supply chain designs produce different operating results and explore how to manage those results. The game is performed in a real-time setting that allows for helping to create a supply chain that meet customer demands for products with the lowest operating costs and lowest inventory levels. The simulation gives students an opportunity to design and manage the supply chain of stores that sell Crunch Candy and Just Born Candy. During the simulation experience, students create products, facilities, vehicles and routes while attempting to control delivery frequency and forecast demand. To manage the collaborative supply chain successfully, students must create a supply chain that is flexible enough to react quickly to fluctuating demand. This is accomplished by defining products according to the needs of facilities and creating vehicles to move products between these facilities i.e. road, rail, air or water. A simulation is conducted that provides data showing where the operation breaks, where products accumulate or runs out, what your operating cost are etc. The simulation is repeated over an eight week period allowing students an opportunity to refine their decision processes after learning from the feedback they receive as a result of attempting to have the system...

...1.8 Life Cycle Costing Purpose Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is an important economic analysis used in the selection of alternatives that impact both pending and future costs. It compares initial investment options and identifies the least cost alternatives for a twenty year period. As applied to building design energy conservation measures, the process is mandated by law and is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 10, Part 436, Subpart A: Program Rules of the Federal Energy Management Program. The A/E shall contact local utility companies to determine available demand-side management programs and nocost assistance provided by these companies to designers and owners. Applications Basic applications of LCC are addressed within the individual chapters herein and may be further defined within an A-E’s design programming scope requirements. In general, LCC is expected to support selection of all building systems that impact energy use: thermal envelope, passive solar features, fenestration, HVAC, domestic hot water, building automation and lighting. However, LCC can also be applied to building features or involve costs related to occupant productivity, system maintenance, environmental impact and any other issue that impacts costs over time. It is very important to recognize the significance of integrated building systems design in the overall e iciency of the design. Methodology There are many established guidelines and computerbased tools that e ectively...

...the reading that Knowlton caught himself feeling apprehensive about the reaction that Fester might have to some of his work and that even Knowlton himself was a little surprised at his feelings because he had always been proud. Both men want to move forward with the project, and I feel like they were considerate to each other’s thoughts during the meetings. Fester is highly extraverted whereas Knowlton is more in the middle as the case goes on. In similarity, Knowlton and Fester are both open and conscientiousness. The GLOBE model could be used to describe the clash between Knowlton and Fester. This model addresses leadership qualities and recommends how leaders should conduct business in cultural clusters that are different from what they are accustomed to. GLOBE practices would help Knowlton feel more comfortable around Fester as he sometimes feels belittled by Festers ability to take over explaining the graphs and new methods to the project. The impact of GLOBE would enable Knowlton and Fester to have a better understanding of one another as the cultural dimensions included in the...

...SHAKESPEARE: ESTUDIO MONOGRÁFICO 1. CONCEPTO DE SHAKESPEARE Muere en 1616. Siete años después sus compañeros publican el First Folio, sus obras completas. Tenía un valor colectivo, publicado en 1623. Para mantener viva su memoria: “our Shakespeare”, “our” se ponía con autores clásicos conocidos, término honorífico. Influencia de Séneca en tragedia y de Plauto y Terencio en comedia en el teatro renacentista inglés. Nació en 1564 en Stratford-Upon-Avon. Afán de la movilidad social, de una escala a otra. Quería hacerse un escudo familiar, símbolo de la nobleza, para subir en la escala social. Padre y madre de diferentes escalas sociales, ella pertenecía a la familia Arden. El padre era guantero y comerciante de lana ilegalmente, también compró varias propiedades y era prestamista. Gran poder financiero. John S. incluso llegó a ser alcalde. A partir de 1572-73 el padre pierde esa posición privilegiada y tiene problemas económicos. La Inglaterra isabelina era protestante, la familia S. podría ser católica. Religión impuesta con violencia y obligación. No hay prueba documental de la educación de W. S., aunque se supone que fue a la escuela de allí. Expuesto a la gramática latina y los clásicos: Ovidio, Virgilio, Plauto, Terencio, Cicerón. Expuesto a las miestery plays y morality plays. Las miesteries eran breves y católicas, personajes bíblicos. Las moralities eran representaciones alegóricas breves que muestran las terribles consecuencias del pecado. Los nombres de...

...I. Introduction The SCM Globe system is a learning tool whose purpose is to provide hands on education in the basic dynamics of supply chain management. During the course of the semester, while using the SCM Globe simulation and performing the activities related to the case study presented, students were afforded the opportunity to manage and operate different supply chains. Students got a firsthand feel of how supply chains operate. A. Overview of Cincinnati Seasonings Supply Chain The Cincinnati Seasonings Supply Chain case study is a basic simulation of a simple supply chain to support a company that designs and markets food seasonings and sells its products in stores throughout the Midwestern United States. The purpose of the case study is to familiarize students with how to set up a supply chain and simulate its operations. Students get practice defining the product that the supply chain handles and in setting up the facilities, vehicles and routes that make up the supply chain. When students simulate the operation of the supply chain that is created they will get an appreciation of some of the central challenges involved in operating a supply chain. Students will get insights into balancing the need to run a responsive supply chain that never lets its customers run out of product with the need to run an efficient supply chain that also minimizes supply chain inventory and operating cost. Cincinnati Seasonings is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The founder of...

...With Reference to Two or More Examples Discuss the Role of Dramatic Text in Performance The role of dramatic text in performance is not a question that has a simple, straightforward answer. A dramatic text is a text that has been written for it to be delivered by some form of media, for example theatre, film or television. A performance text on the other hand is a version of the dramatic text, which is what ultimately gets performed. Therefore, to put it simply, a performance text is a version of a dramatic text that has been annotated and altered for the actual performance. This complicates the role of dramatic text, as there can be various different performance texts just for one dramatic text. Therefore you have to question, after a certain period of time, if the performances turn further and further away from what the dramatic text is trying to convey? Considering William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, which is such an ‘iconic text of world theatre’ (Lavender, 5), you can compare the role of the dramatic text when it was first published and performed in around 1603 with performances leading up to the present day. This is something which doesn't only differ depending on what time period it is being performed or how renowned the text is but it differs from performance to performance mainly because of the various different concepts the directors have with this singular play. However, factors such as the set or audience can also have a considerable effect. Nevertheless...

...still can see in town, but we don’t know much about what he learnt in school. In 1582 when he was 18 years old, he married Ann Hathaway, who was 7-8 years older; she was the oldest daughter of a well-to-do farmer. Their first child was born the year afterwards, only six months after the wedding; later they got twins. There are lots of explanations, why Shakespeare went to London, but most of the explanations are anecdotes from a time afterwards. Some scientists mean that he became a member of a theatre company, there were on a visit in Stratford. The first time we are hearing about him again is in 1592, and at that time he is a famous person in London. He is mostly famous as an actor and as an act writer, but he was also owner of the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays; comedies, tragedies and historical dramas. His play has something for every taste; there are exciting acts, strong feelings, colors and comedy. Shakespeare’s themes are the love, the nature, the power and its responsibility. The central theme is the human, and especially after 1600 you feel the bitterness against the humans. About 1611 he turned back to Stratford, maybe the same year as he wrote “The Strom”, which you can read as his goodbye to the theatre. He lived the last year in his home town and died in 1616. He is buried in Holy Trinity church, and on the grave in the left side of the church, there is a memorial for...

...Globe Theatre In Elizabethan England, plays were extremely important to culture. Many theaters were built to present plays. No theater around was more important than the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was an important part of society. The history of the Globe Theatre is very rich. It was originally built in 1598 by Cuthbert Burbage, who was very involved in the acting scene in his time. In 1613 it was accidentally burned down by a canon in a show there. The next year it was reconstructed only to be destroyed by puritans, who believed plays were evil, 30 years later in 1647. In 1997 a working replica was opened. The Globe Theatre’s structure was unlike any other of its day. Its wood was taken from another theater because Cuthbert Burbage owned that but not the land. “He therefore had the theatre, a timber building, taken down and reassembled at a new site (Boyce 218). It was roughly cylindrical and three stories high. Each floor had seats that looked into open galleries. It held 2,000-3,000 people at a time. Shakespeare was a paramount figure not only in playwriting, but in the Globe Theatre as well. It was built specifically for the great acting troupe, Chamberlain’s Men, which Shakespeare was a part of. Some of Shakespeare’s most magnificent works of art were performed originally at the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare himself was also a part owner of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was a place where many different types of social classes went...

...Performing Arts Theatre in London Amphitheatre –Romans at Guildhall Liturgical dramas (from the service of worship). Took place in church during the Easter celebration. Sung and in Latin – vast cycles performed all over Europe in medieval times. Performed by Monks and nuns inside church. The spice seller was the first comic character as well as the first non-religious character. Liturgical dramas developed into Mystery/ Miracle plays and were performed outside. This is when we get the first actors. Mystery Plays In England different Craft Guilds were employed to perform different plays e.g. Carpenters acted out the story of Noah’s Ark and the Fishmongers the story of Jonah and the Whale. They were performed on wagons or temporary stages. The audience would move to different wagons to watch different plays. They might see six or eight short plays in a day. The performers were all amateur and all male. The Mystery Plays that we know today are the York Cycle of Mystery Plays and the Chester Cycle. Most of the others have been lost over the centuries. The Tudor monarchy was very flamboyant. Henry VII had his own company of players. This dynasty loved tournaments, and royal processions etc. There was an increase of professional actors in 16thc. They were attached to noble and royal families who protected them from religious and political turbulence. This religious upheaval eventually silenced the performance...

...Shakespeare has written some of the most memorable plays in history. It was probably the most important structure in Shakespeare’s career. Throughout its history the Globe Theatre has hosted the very best of Shakespeare’s productions or works of art such as Hamlet, and the Twelfth Night were written to be performed on the stage of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was a theatre located in London, England. The Globe Theatre is commonly associated with William Shakespeare. The theatre was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which happened to be William Shakespeare’s playing company (Linda Alchin). The land that the theatre was built on was owned by Thomas Brend and was later inherited by his son Nicholas Brend and then later on his grandson Sir Matthew Brend. On the 29th of June 1613 the theatre was destroyed by a fire during a performance of Henry the Eighth (Linda Alchin). The Globe Theatre was rebuilt in June of 1614 and was closed in 1642. There is a modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre in London called Shakespeare’s Globe and it opened in 1997 (J.M Presley). The Lord Chamberlain’s Men were actors who were shareholders in the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was divided into shares of ten percent each with two brothers, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage having a double share or twenty-five percent each (Linda Alchin). Originally there was supposed to be a seventh shareholder, William Kempe but he sold his share to the four minority shareholders...
