What is Supply Chain Management
By: Techtarget.com
First off a supply chain is how a company obtains the raw materials it needs to manufacture a product and then sending it to the consumer. This is also called a logistics network. And NO! There isn't a difference! I checked... The whole baisis for this is to satisfy an online order.
The weird thing is that most companies say that they already have them assembled!

What Is OffShoring
By: Sourcingmag.com
OffShoring describes the relocation of buisness processess from one country to another. Okay I totally copied what wikipedia said but, its a complicated subject!
In my own words: its when a company takes product and tries to move across seas.
One of the big countries in this category is... China. Wait. China? My history teacher said that China ids an underdeveloped country... Hmmm.... Maybe they're not so underdevloped as we thought? On the topic, offshoring is commonly done to save money and the company often offshores to a country where they can do what they want at a lower cost. Interesting, huh?
Sourcingmag.com says that its a type of outsourcing... hmmm... I got it! Maybe its both! Ha! But maybe its not... Ohhh...

What Is Out Sourcing
By: WiseGeek.com
Out Sourcing is what a large company does to reduce the cost of their sevices. I.E. help the numbers that they put on your cell phone bills. we think that we're talking to smeone in... Sacramento... when we're really talking to someone in the Philipines (that's JUST an example).
Most of the time its done because the minimum wage is lower in that country. So... its ALL about money. The way that I see it: its human resource expliotation. The companies don't even have to provide benefits to the workers... NOT FAIR!!!

Open Source
By: Wikipedia.com
Before anyone says "Hey, Open Source is way different from Open Sourcing!" and I get a flood of complaints, its important to know what something is. In any form. Noun, Verb or Adjective. Open Source is when a programing code is made openly available to the public. Meaning EVERYONE can use it. Examples would be: Mozila Firefox and Netscape Browser. An Open Source License allows the one with the license to EDIT and REDISTRIBUTE the code in question. By 'one' I mean a company or an individual. What most people don't know is that with a license you don't have to repay the origonal author(s). If the Source Code is made avaiable to the public domain then OSI can put its Service Mark on it. That means that it is officially in the public domain and can be used by anyone. Just like the sidewalk!

What Is Workflow Software?!

Workflow Management Software
By: NextpageInc
(sighs) Funny how all the things that make our life easier- no one gives you a straight answer to what the f*** it is. Check out the results for a Google.com Search.
Anyhow, Workflow Software. (sighs) The articles that I read ( the ones above) gave me slight headache or maybe its just my chemestry homework... In short terms Workflow Software is a program that does something that makes anything that we do, easier and consequently faster. If I had Software like that that would do my chemestry homework FOR me, I might have a little less of a headache right now. But I guess I'll take a bit of Tylenol and finish it later. its the stuff that sends Spam mail to the trash in your e-mail account. They also create PDF Files. Thus the reason they're so important to the funtion and speed of the modern computers. Wait. Why are PDF Files sooo important? (if you went to the site I linked you'd have your answer and if you already did sorry for reviewing) They make it so you can share files even if someone uses different software.

Netscape IPO
Netscape
By; Wikipedia.com
A Beautiful Attitude
By; Quentin Hardy
First what's an IPO? To answer it: an IPO is an Inial Public Offering. Hence the acronym IPO. This is the first move that most young companies make to expand and get the capital they desire to put their plans into action. Although its not limmited to JUST small companies; some private owned buisnesses use IPo's too.
Netscape was "born at the dawn of the computer age." Precisely on April 4, 1994. The founders, Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark, released Mosaic Netscape 0.9 on October 13, 1994. They took on the name Netscape Navigator on November 14, 1994. And their first year was rather sucessful.
In 2003 however the Netscape group was disbanded. Everything that they had worked for was gone. But the Netscape Browser 7.0 was released the year after, on August 18, 2004.Their most recent version is 8.o

The Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall was part of the border that was proposed to prevent the mass exodus
to Western Germany. The residents of Eastern Germany were on a soviet-style planned economy(were the government controls the distribution of the profits) which made them eccedingly wealthy, but there freedoms were stripped. That's why they would go to Western Germany- for thier freedoms.
On April 1, 1952 East German leaders met with Stalin in Moscow, Russia to disscuss wether to teat the line between Eatern and Western Germany "a border and a Dangerous one at that."
The construction began in 1961. August 12, 1961 to be exact.
The wall was 96 miles long. The first one was made of barbed wire and rocks. The second one which is famous for falling was made of over 45,000 types of concrete.

Fall of the Berlin Wall
Fall Of The Berlin Wall 1989
By Fredrick ramm
Berlin Wall
By WikiPedia.com
This wall divided Germany for 28 years. It fell in1989. That made the whole day-to-day life for the German citizens difficult considering they had curfews proir to the wall being demolished. Many of the Jewish people that died's friends felt bitter resentment and love for the Americans and the allies that destroyed the wall. Sadly some redients who were not part of the German Nazi forces resited liberation. The heroes who aided the engineers that tore down the wall are all dead or ancient.

Sudan Admits Darfur Attack but Says That UN is to Blame
Sudna admits darfur attack but blames UN
By: AFP.Google.com
Hopefully we all know what's going on in Darfur.
Green Day has made a CD to assist those in Darfur. So what's the government doing??! Yeah volunteers are going over there to help the citzens not involved in the war that's destroying their country, but what's Bush's Fat self doing about it? Well the news cites on Google say he's doing a lot. I don't think so. It would be all over the news of which I watch all the time. There has to be something I'm missing. maybe i'm being too critical of him... Anyways the situation in Darfur is getting worse. despite the saint like volunteers that try to make a difference in the lives of Darfurians affected by the war. It gets sader when you here that kids are dying straight out of their mothers... From malnoutrition... Why isn't Bush doing something?!?!?!
