...been done before. Gathering as much information on HomeHelp to ensure they achieve the expected benefits is crucial. What may work for HomeHelp may not work for Woodmere. So, the research would need to be done from both angles to ensure both companies are going to reap benefits. I would also research the basics, as Smith has done. How many stores does HomeHelp have? What is the geographical locations of said stores? What are the percentages of their products being sold? Is there room for unprofitable product to be eliminated to make room for any additional costs that may be incurred during the transition. One of the things that HomeHelp does that Woodmere does not is, “HomeHelp is the first major palyer in their market to offer on-line ordering” (fillin 436)....

...propositions for Woodmere and HomeHelp to consider in evaluating this proposal? The major proposition for both of them to consider is would they both benefit from this challenge. -For Woodmere it would be a unique opportunity for them to grow their business relationship with a company that is growing and evolving to gain a bigger % of the market with an exclusive distribution agreement. They only have a few rules to follow: keep costs low and service high, low overhead and EDLP strategy. -For HomeHelp it is the opportunity to ally with Woodmere to create a time based logistics to improve product availability in stores while reducing overall inventory. By Allying with a furniture manufacturer we have the opportunity to create leading edge logistics strategies. 2. Is time-based logistics the right strategy for each company? -Time based logistics offers both companies the opportunity to grow as a whole. With their initial investment being significant, but in the end would dramatically benefit both companies in a global environment, by having the ability to reduce inventory and safety stock, by synchronizing replenishment with demand. This would be with the understanding that there would be continual investment into the technology to keep up to date. As well as that there would be an initial time period that it would take to see the expected results. 3. What are the benefits and barriers (short- and long-term) to this proposal for both Woodmere and HomeHelp? What...

...Saturday, June 16, 2007 Concubinage Meaning: Commonly refers to a relationship between a man (usually of higher social status) and a woman, where the man has an “official” wife, and possibly more than one concubine. Concubines had limited rights though any children are acknowledged, though their status is second to that of children born unto the “official” wife. Concubinage was usually an “exclusive” arrangement between two parties. Biblical: With the tolerance of polygamy, a concubine was only defined in terms of her disparity in position or rank with the principal wife. A legitimate spouse, of an inferior social grade or a bondwoman, is often given the appellation of concubine. This term did not invalidate her marriage, it did, however, indicate that she was not equal to her husband in rank, nor did she share in her husband’s property or in the administration of his household. From Genesis 21:9-14, we see that the dismissal of a concubine and of her children was permissible. Ancient Greece: Concubines were permitted in ancient Greece and their children were legitimate if recognized by their fathers. Roman Empire: A concubine was recognized by law in the absence of a legal wife. She was usually from a lower social rank than her husband, and her children, though not considered the equals of those of the legal wife (uxor) were nevertheless termed natural (naturales) to distinguish them from spurious offsprings (spurii). The father of these children was required...

...concerned by the fact that furniture industry as a whole seems to be lagging behind in terms of logistics operations. Nan believes that John’s company, Woodmere, could collaborate with Home Help to create a logistical capability that is time-based. The collaboration would also result to adoption of a customized delivery system. To make the plan effective, John was to given a three week period to come up with a tentative proposal (Bowersox et al., 2013 p. 435). Issues to consider The major business proposition for Woodmere and HomeHelp to consider in evaluating this proposal is if it follows HomeHelp's basic philosophy of keeping costs low and service high for both companies. Time based logistics are based on resulting the cycle time (processes, information and decision making) in order to shorten the time the product spends from vendor to retailer to the consumer (Muilerman 2001). Woodmere and HomeHelp must determine the investment needed to implement the program. The case study states Jean Jean “invested over $1 million in scanners, lasers needed to make distribution operations fast and efficient, and ticket printers to label products with retailers ‘unique bar codes”(Bowersox et al., 2013 p.439). It also mentions key retailers had a similar investment, and that continual technological upgrading is necessary. Woodmere and HomeHelp must determine the potential negative consequences of the proposition. Will this attract other retailers to participate in this process...

...While most documentary films embrace a view that examines a person more or less from a biographical point of view, Robert Epstein and Richard Schiechen's documentary about the first openly gay elected official in the United States takes a somewhat different approach. The subject of the film, Harvey Milk, was elected to the San Francisco board of city supervisors in 1977, and proceeded to champion for the rights not only of homosexuals, but of underprivileged people in general, gaining popularity by appealing to minorities and working class folks. The story of Milk is one that demonstrates the power of the U.S. election system, one that serves the interest of the public when utilized to its fullest, and ultimately proves that anything is possible through perseverance and determination. Milk's story is truly fascinating. This openly gay man from New York state moved to San Francisco in the 1960s, becoming a figure in the counterculture and peace movements before expressing an interest in public office. While the majority of the public did not agree with some of his more outspoken views on the rights of gays and lesbians, Milk succeeded in winning over large portions of the public through his crusades for better representation in local government, interest in the livelihoods of average people, and dedication toward causes that he believed were in the best interest of all. In examining the legacy left behind by this pioneer of civil rights, Epstein and Schiechen's film...
