The History of Star Trek

Gene Roddenberry in 1964, a former Los Angeles police sergeant, created Star Trek. Roddenberry is a life-long fan of science fiction, which prompted him to propose his idea to the studios, making Star Trek a cross between Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.

His vision was composed of a multi-cultural crew onboard an innovative and futuristic spaceship, exploring distant galaxies for both peaceful and scientific purposes. The audience simply loved it and NBC organized a second pilot with changes in the crew. Other crew members soon became favorites among fans, such as Montgomery Scott and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the ship's doctor.

Star trek ran for three seasons on television, from 1966 up to 1969. The popularity of Star Trek was totally awesome. During the middle of the 1970's, the adventures of the crew continued in animation form. There were a total number of twenty-two episodes of cartoon-produced shows and most of the original cast provided the voices for the characters in these episodes.

It has also brought in a lot of money during the 70's with the production of Star Trek character images, logos, posters, lunch boxes, t-shirts and action figures produced by Mego, a toy manufacturer. There was even a Star Trek comic book for fans to follow the adventures, thus taking a break from watching TV; they could still follow the adventures of the crew. From a short-lived but highly acclaimed TV series, Star Trek has grown into a huge phenomenal success.

In 1979, Paramount released Star Trek The Motion Picture, which immediately became a cinematic success. Soon thereafter, six more movies were produced from 1979 to 1991, beginning with the original crew.

Star Trek, the Next Generation has hurtled to success and is considered as the leader in ratings, licensing, merchandising and demographics. The award-winning show with every advertiser's demographics dreams and inspiring products almost reaching a billion dollars in retail sales has attracted a wide range of high-calibre guest stars, and a smash film which was Star Trek's Next Generation's considerable impact.

As the years gone by, Roddenberry's captivating vision of the future has proved to be a timeless appeal to people of all ages when after 25 years, a new Star Trek vision has enticed fans all over the world. From network to syndication, from television to the motion pictures, the franchise has gathered one of the most devoted and loyal followings in the history of entertainment.

Part of the ISA/O3neida series, this book discusses network systems in industrial automation and their features related to real-time and functional safety requirements. The basics of standard Ethernet are introduced, specifying the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model layers and identifying Ethernet's drawbacks. Clarification on the requirements and the solutions adopted by the presented communication protocols is also addressed. Real-time capability is defined with regard to communication within safety-related systems, underlying the strict correlation between time performances and external requirements. Finally, the specifications of the safety profiles of five communication protocols (namely PROFIsafe, Ethernet Powerlink Safety, SERCOS III Safety, EtherCAT Safety, and Ethernet/IP Safety) are investigated.

The US department of energy announced massive investment the renewable industry including $60bn in clean energy investments, which will include $11bn in a smart grid system, $2bn in developing the next generation of energy storage batteries. An announced move away from corn-based ethanol fuel and $1.8bn investment in the next generation of biofuels will stimulate the vehicular fuel industry, towards a cleaner, more efficient system. The new administration has announced intention to develop available offshore renewable energy source located on the continental shelf area. The area has vast potential and scientists estimate that 900GW of wind power may be achieved.

Key market issues addressed

Environmental regulations: Imminent environmental targets set to control Carbon dioxide emissions in the US using a cap and trade mechanism are creating a path for lower carbon emitting power generation technologies. Recent capacity investment has focused on wind turbines, gas and solar photovoltaic installations.
Renewable Electricity market incentives: The US is has in place state level Renewable energy Production Standards and the Production Tax Credit which promote the development of renewable energy projects across the country, and are responsible for robust incentivized growth.
Energy efficiency:- The current electrical infrastructure experiences substantial energy loss from generation to transmission to load delivery. A more efficient system is required, a network that can take advantage of the intermittent supply nature of wind and solar – and balance these with the more constant and reliable conventional thermal generation, geothermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power. Recent US policy has awarded investment into an intelligent grid system. The US has also announced energy efficiency measures to include appliances, vehicles and power plants.
Energy security:- Oil, coal and gas supply and pricing structures are volatile and uncontrollable, due to the majority imported from non-US countries. This volatility is likely to increase as reserves of the natural resources decline.
Centralized network to distributed:- the changeover to renewable technologies is a changeover to a distributed energy system, as renewable energy technologies take advantage of natural resources such as wind, solar or thermal energy which are more concentrated in specific geographical locations.

Introduction

The childrenswear sector has not been immune to the impact of the recession, with EU expenditure tumbling 3.5% in 2009. However, its replacement-driven nature has kept sales comparatively resilient, outperforming other clothing categories. As a result, both value and high-end clothing retailers have expanded their childrenswear rangesn leading to intense competition in the sector.

Scope

*Key sector statistics including clothing and childrenswear expenditure, spend per child and growth from 2004 to 2009e in each of the EU27 markets.

*Analysis of emerging players and the sector's most prominant competitors including ID Group, Mothercare, Orchestra, OVS industry and Zara Kids.

*Strategic recommendations surrounding issues such as in-store services, range diversification, multi-channel retail and global expansion.

*An assessment of the key opportunities and threats impacting the sector including socio-demographic trends and new forms of competiton.

Highlights

Childrenswear is outperforming the overall clothing market despite consumers trading down. Furthermore, the sub sector is increasing its share of total EU clothing expenditure to 10.5%. Growth has been boosted by rising birthrates and increased expenditure per child.

Competition is growing amongst all the core competitor groups in the childrenswear sector. Grocers and department stores are increasing the amount of space allocated to this category while trend focused fashion multiples are tapping into the 'mini-me' sector with many opening stand alone childrenswear stores.

Childrenswear retailers that wish to broaden the presence of their own brand frequently do so by selling the brand at multibrand childrenswear stores or department stores. For example, Catimini operates 155 stores in eight countries, yet sells its branded clothing at 1,446 multibranded stores in 29 different countries.

Reasons to Purchase

*Make informed investment decisions by understanding the size of EU childrenswear retail markets and the nature of the competition within them.

*Understand the dynamics of the market and which categories and target segements will produce further market share gains.

*Develop innovative strategies to enhance your retail proposition in areas such as in-store services, loyalty programmes and design collaborations.

Introduction

The penetration of supermarkets into the European fuel retailing market varies widely between individual countries and is influenced by specific individual market dynamics and characteristics. This report assesses the impact supermarkets have had in breaking into the fuel retailing market in selected European countries and how this has been achieved.

Scope

*Analysis into the sites and volumes fuel retailing market shares held by supermarkets and non-supermarkets in various European markets.

*Insight into progress made by supermarkets in fuel retail and the main strategies adopted in specific markets to win market share from oil companies.

*An overview of how market conditions influence the penetration of supermarkets into fuel retailing and how oil companies are seeking to counter this.

*Profiles of key supermarket retailers active in the fuel retailing sector including coverage of their fuel, non-fuel and card offerings.

Highlights

Consumers are increasingly being driven to supermarket service stations because they typically offer cheaper fuel prices and enticing promotional campaigns. As shown by Datamonitor research, 13% of motorists in Europe are increasingly refilling at supermarket service stations.

While driving customer footfall at their hypermarkets and supermarkets remains the biggest driver for supermarket fuel retailers, several players in the more mature markets are expanding their fuel offerings in line with changing environmental regulations and consumer demands.

With the entry of discounters, the landscape of the European service station retail industry may change significantly, as they will serve to increase pressure on prices in an already low-margin business. Consequently, traditional fuel retailers will need to balance their prices with their product and service offerings in order to stay competitive.

Reasons to Purchase

*Formulate market share objectives for your company and assess performance against your peers in the supermarket fuel retail sector.

*Develop superior strategies to those of your competitors by understanding the key components of a successful supermarket fuel retail business.

*Make informed investment decisions by uncovering the size of the supermarket fuel retail market and the nature of the competition within it.

Enterprise programme management

Dr.N.C.Martin, Ph.D

Lecturer – HOD

Department of Social Work

Shree Chandra Prabhu Jain College

Minjur, Chennai

Companies today face many conflicting priorities in remaining competitive. Some of the challenges include leading company staff in thinking bigger, operating in direct relationship to customers and stockholders’ needs, while staying flexible and adaptable to economic and market shifts. How does a facilities manager stay connected to the business strategy, manage more projects with less staff, and still provide responsive service, while the business environment the manager supports is changing rapidly? The manager may be faced with consolidating facilities owing to a merger or company restructuring.

Consolidation presents several challenges that must be met. The manager must work with executives to align equipment deployment and facility use to merger goals and objectives. He/she must consolidate facilities management infrastructure into a cohesive unit from the different approaches of the original companies. This requires the ability simultaneously to coordinate the strategic, tactical and technical aspects of consolidation, while maintaining the seamless operation of the company. If it is a large operation, with facilities spread across a region, facilities management may have been distributed, with each location responsible for their own projects and maintenance.

A major change effort such as consolidation requires a centralised facilities management structure that is tied directly into the strategy of the company. The answer for many companies in meeting these challenges is enterprise programme management (EPM). Enterprise programme management is a way of thinking, communicating and working, supported by an information system that organises an enterprise’s resources in direct relationship to leadership’s vision, and the mission, strategy, goals and objectives that move the organisation forward. Simply put, EPM provides a 360-degree view of an organisation’s collective efforts.

What Is SCM?

The SCOR model also builds on "the concepts of business process reengineering, benchmarking, and process measurement by integrating these techniques into an easily configurable, cross-functional framework," continues Helming. This framework consists of four levels leading to the implementation of an effective SCM (supply chain management)strategy:

•Level 1 broadly defines the key supply chain processes—plan, source, make, and deliver—thereby helping companies establish their SCM objectives.

•Level 2 defines 26 core process categories that can be found in an enterprise's actual and idealized supply chain. For example, the "source" category includes "source purchased materials," "source engineer-to-order products," and "source make-to-order products."

•Level 3 contains information for companies to plan and set goals for their SCM strategy, including process definitions, benchmarks, and system software capabilities.

•Level 4 focuses on implementation. Because SCM implementations are unique to each company, the specific elements of Level 4 are not defined within the SCOR model.

Approaching this quandary from a supply chain perspective would be better. If the enterprise can decrease the cycle time between when finished goods are manufactured and when they are delivered to the customer, overall inventory will drop while transportation costs can remain constant. The result: a net gain in the overall savings to the enterprise.

SCM Software Is Limitless

SCM is a management process. These processes can work just fine without sophisticated technology. The trick is in properly integrating these processes into the enterprise's business strategy—and the SCM strategy that executes that business strategy. Case in point: The technology exists to fax purchase orders straight from your computer. But if nobody is at the other end to pick up that fax and act on it, your supply chain falls apart. Implementing electronic data interchange (EDI) can be just as useless if the receiving company cannot properly respond to the EDI transaction. And EDI is a far more expensive technology than fax.

Interestingly, banks have had wire transfers for years. The automotive industry has had EDI. These technologies are now called "electronic commerce." Why? And why the sudden popularity? It's because people are thinking supply chain. They're thinking payables and receivables. They're thinking about both sides of the equation. And they are thinking that the quicker these and other processes can be transacted, the better we all are.

This thinking forces new perspectives on information technologies. "SCM is a process solution and a discipline that typically cuts across the historical functional reporting lines of most The sad fallacy, says Helming, is that "many companies have really bought the line that ERP is all the software they'll ever need." The reality is that ERP has mostly been a technology push, specifically using client/server technologies to retire mainframe—"legacy"—operations. In their place would be common hardware, common resource planning software, and common databases throughout the enterprise.

Quite simply, ERP doesn't work, practically speaking. And part of why that is, explains Helming, is that ERP packages have typically been built from the inside out. They never had an overall model of the enterprise to which the resource planning was for. Consequently, none of the ERP packages can effectively plan across enterprises.

However, as a transaction system, ERP provides an invaluable foundation for capturing, storing, and sorting enterprise-wise information. And truth be known, an enterprise just can't perform effective SCM without a good information foundation. So, junking ERP is not a reasonable thing to do, say Helming, but leveraging that investment is reasonable.

More important, realize that any information-based technology within an enterprise is a supply chain technology. Supporting the SCOR "source" process are sales automation tools, including order entry systems, sales kiosks, and product configurations linked to CAD visualization systems. Increasing numbers of companies are eschewing the MRP aspects of ERP and using advanced planning and scheduling systems to provide the finite scheduling and decision support for both manufacturing ("make") and logistics ("deliver"). Warehouse management systems, distribution requirements planning, and logistics management systems fulfill the SCOR model "deliver" component.

The Potential of China Offshore Wind Market

Summary

Rapid expansion of the Chinese wind market is resulting in the opening up of the country's offshore market. The Chinese offshore wind capacity is expected to increase from 1 MW in 2008 to exceed 400 MW by 2011 as a result of supportive policies by the government for wind power promotion and development. The nascent market for offshore wind provides opportunities for international equipment suppliers, service providers and developers. International market participants can leverage on their technological expertise in offshore wind to harness the growing market. However, a mandate for domestic sourcing of 70% of the value-add, combined with a 49% cap on farm ownership and stress on pricing over quality are expected to be major challenges for international market participants in this market.
