In this textbook, materials management includes all activities in the flow of materials from the supplier to the consumer. Such activities include
physical supply, operations planning and control, and physical distribution. Other terms sometimes used in this area are business logistics and supply
chain management. Often, the emphasis in business logistics is on transportation and distribution systems with little concern for what occurs in the
factory. Whereas some chapters in this text are devoted to transportation and distribution, emphasis is placed on operations planning and control.
Distribution and operations are managed by planning and controlling the flow of materials through them and by using the system's resources to achieve
a desired customer service level. These activities are the responsibility of materials management and affect every department in a manufacturing
business. If the materials management system is not well designed and managed, the distribution and manufacturing system will be less effective and
more costly. Anyone working in manufacturing or distribution should have a good basic understanding of the factors influencing materials flow. This
text aims to provide that understanding. APICS defines the body of knowledge, concepts, and vocabulary used

Language is the most important aspect in the life of all beings. We use language to express inner thoughts and emotions, make sense of complex and
abstract thought, to learn to communicate with others, to fulfill our wants and needs, as well as to establish rules and maintain our culture.
In a sense, animals talk to one another. But it is different from human talk. Every human language uses sounds. Not all animal languages do, however.

PURPOSE AND COLLECTION METHODS

The English which is spoken in India is different from that spoken in other regions of the world, and it is regarded as the unique variety which is
called Indian English. The purpose of this folklore project is to show some of the various ways Indians have intentionally and unintentionally
customized English to better suit their needs and to discuss some of the problems and situations which can and do arise when Indians use or experience
English in different settings. Attitudes about English and English speakers in India are also explored.
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIAN ENGLISH
Indian English is a distinct variety of the English language. Many Indians claim that it is very similar to British English, but this opinion is based on
a surface level examination of lexical similarities. Of course, one must keep in mind that not every linguistic item is used by every Indian English
speaker and that a great deal of regional and educational differentiation exists. Even so, items can be identified which are indicative of Indian English
speech and which are widely used.

Each chapter on quantitative methods describes key theoretical choices and how these are executed in IBM SPSS Statistics. Unlike most other books,
we do not discuss theory or SPSS, but link the two. This is a book for non–technical readers! All chapters are written in an accessible and
comprehensive way so that non–technical readers can also easily grasp the data analysis methods. Each chapter on research methods includes simple
examples to help the reader get a hands–on feel for the technique. Each chapter concludes with an illustrated real–life case, demonstrating the
application of a quantitative method. We also provide a second, real–life case with an accompanying dataset, thus allowing readers to practice what
they have learnt. Other pedagogical features such as key words, examples, and end–of–chapter questions support the contents. This book is concise,

focusing on the most important aspects that a market researcher, or manager interpreting market research, should know. Many chapters provide links
to further readings and other websites besides that of the book. Several mobile tags in the text allow readers to quickly browse related web content
using a mobile device (see section "How to Use Mobile Tags"). This unique merger of ofп¬‚ine and online content offers readers a broad spectrum of
additional and readily accessible information. A comprehensive Web Appendix with further analysis techniques, datasets, video п¬

"Making Inference"
An Inference Defined
In order to knock the verbal section of your standardized test or even the reading portion of your test in school right out of the ballpark, you need to
know what an inference is, first. An inference is an assumption made based on specific evidence. We make inferences all the time in real life. For
instance, your girlfriend might say to you, "Nice hair," and you could make the inference that she is being rude because she was smirking when she
said it. In life, it's pretty easy to infer the implied meaning – the meaning not stated directly – because you can use context clues like body ... Show more

You'll have to actually infer that you need to make an inference about the passage. Sneaky, huh? Here are a few that require inferencing skills, but don't
use those words exactly. * "With which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?" * "Which of the following sentences would
the author most likely use to add additional support to paragraph three?"
Step 2: Trust the Passage
Now that you're certain you have an inference question on your hands, and you know exactly what an inference is, you'll need to let go of your
prejudices and prior knowledge and use the passage to prove that the inference you select is the correct one. Inferences on a multiple–choice exam are
different from those in real life. Out in the real world, if you make an educated guess, your inference could still be incorrect. But on a multiple–choice
exam, your inference will be correct because you'll use the details in the passage to prove it. You have to trust that the passage offers you the truth in
the setting of the test, and that one of the answer choices provided is correct without stepping too far outside the realm of the passage.
Step 3: Hunt for Clues
Your third step is to start hunting for clues – supporting details, vocabulary, character's actions, descriptions, dialogue, and more – to prove one of the
inferences listed below the question. Take this question, for example:

Emily Dickinson's Capitalization and Punctuation
The poetry of Emily Dickinson is one of the most recognizable of the 19th century. Dickinson's poetry stands out because of its unconventional use of
capitalization and punctuation. Her poems contain capitalized words which are not normally capitalized. Her poems are noted for the frequent use of
the dash. Literary scholars have attempted to interpret Dickinson's unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Some believe that it was merely part
of Dickinson's penmanship (Weisbuch 73). They therefore edit Dickinson's poetry and publish them in standardized form. Others believe that the
capitalization and punctuation were a conscious effort on Dickinson's part. These scholars notice the little nuances of Dickinson's dashes, such as
whether ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, Dickinson is not consistent in her capitalization (Porter 140). She does not capitalize every single noun. As demonstrated above, the word
"light" is not capitalized. Furthermore, Dickinson also capitalizes words which are not nouns, as seen in lines 4 – 6 of "He fumbles at your Soul". The
word "ethereal" is an adjective, but Dickinson chooses to capitalize it.
He stuns you by degrees – Prepares your brittle Nature For the Ethereal Blow
The capitalized words are the key words of the poem. They add weight to the lines, tipping the balance of the poetic rhythm. The reader is invited to
ponder over their meaning and significance (Miller 59). The capitalization gives Dickinson's poems concreteness and symbolism (Miller 58). The
reader's attention is drawn to these capitalized words. They form an image in the reader's mind. For example, in the first example, the capitalized
words are Slant, Winter, Afternoons, Heft, Cathedral, and Tunes. These words alone evoke the image of a cold and lonely day which burdens the
heart like the heavy and mournful tones of an organ. Just words "Winter Afternoons" carry sensations of frigidness, bleakness, and loneliness. "Winter
Afternoons" set the scene and describe the mood (Porter 141). The words "Ethereal Blow" strike the reader as an oxymoron. Ethereal implies
something light, delicate, and

Literature and Language
Chapter 9 Language and Literature There is a very close relationship between language and literature. The part of linguistics that studies the language of
literature is termed LITERARY STYLISTICS. It focuses on the study of linguistic features related to literary style. 9.1 Theoretical background Our
pursuit of style, the most elusive and fascinating phenomenon, has been enhanced by the constant studies of generations of scholars, "Style", the
phenomenon, has been recognized since the days of ancient rhetoric; "stylistic", the adjective, has been with us since 1860; "stylistics", the field, is
perhaps the creation of bibliographers. (Dolores Burton, 1990) Helmut Hatzfeld was the first biographer of stylistics and... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
In this section, we shall briefly discuss the grammatical and semantic aspects. 9.2.1 Foregrounding and grammatical form Consider the following
examples, both of which describe inner city decay in the U.S. The first is from the Observer (29 November 1995) : ex.9–1 The 1960 dream of high rise
living soon turned into a nightmare. In this sentence, there is nothing grammatically unusual or "deviant" in the way the words of the sentence are put
together. However, in the following verse from a poem, the grammatical structure seems to be much more challenging, and makes more demands on
our interpretative processing of these lines: ex.9–2 Four storeys have no windows left to smash But in the fifth a chipped sill buttresses Mother and
daughter the last mistresses Of that black block condemmed to stand, not crash. The sentence in line 2 of this verse that starts with But in the fifth is
unusual in that the predicate of the sentence is made up of a sequence of embedded elements, as we can see if we write them out in a full form: "A
chipped sill buttresses mother and daughter who are the last mistresses of that black block which is condemned to stand, not crash." Furthermore, the
main verb in this sentence is buttress. This word can be either a noun or a verb, but we would argue that it is more likely to occur as a noun in less
literary contexes. In literary texts,

Geography
Singapore is an island that lies just off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. Its strategic location
on major sea lanes has provided the country with an economic importance in Southeast Asia. Singapore is often considered as a base for global
enterprises looking to expand into Asia and Asian enterprises looking for global connectivity. Located at the heart of Asia, Singapore is sitting at the
centre of business opportunities. Having the four key attributes – Trust, Knowledge, Connected and Life, Singapore is being positioned as an ideal city
to Work, Live and Play. Singapore was ranked first in Mercer's Quality of Living Survey 2009.
ii. Working in Singapore
Singapore has a capitalised mixed economy. Having strong international trade links, Singapore possesses one of the most open economies for
international trade and investment. Singapore offers foreign investors a pro–business environment, excellent infrastructure, highly–skilled and
cosmopolitan labour force, and a robust legal/judicial system. These competitive factors have set Singapore apart from other locations, winning several
accolades including: В§The world's easiest place to do business (Doing Business 2011 Report, WorldBank); В§Best Business Environment in Asia
Pacific and world–wide (Country Forecasts, December 2009, Economist Intelligence Unit); В§World leader in foreign trade and investment (The

A glance at the table of contents is enough to show that the sequence of chapters is erratic and closer inspection reveals that the scope of individual
chapters is far wider than appears at first sight. Philosophic doctrines (which, according to the author, are the basis of the talismanic art), theory of
magic, astronomical, astrological and physical lore, extensive directions for the practice of the art, and accounts of the peoples by whom it is
employed are jumbled together throughout the book, with no discernible guiding principle. If a systematic arrangement is anywhere perceptible, it is in
the astrological and astronomical material, though even this is far from selfcontained or methodically ordered. Subjects which belong together are
separated (e.g., the geographical sections on pp.171 ff. and 394 ff.), long, discursive definitions, appearing in unexpected places, further break the
sequence (e.g., pp.78 and 343)–. and there is a great deal more to make the reader's task more difficult. This manner of writing may well be
intentional, whether to make the magical sections appear less suspect by interlarding them with theoretical passages, or to make certain doctrines seem
less strange by administering them in small doses, or to demonstrate the equal validity of the magical and philosophical material, or for a combination
of all three reasons. At all events, a similar method of

Hedging Currency Exposures in a Multinational Corporation
ABSTRACT OF THE MASTER'S THESIS Financial theory offers several rationales for financial risk management. Hedging enables firms to
maintain their access to internal funds as well as reduces the costs of financial distress. The theoretical framework offers, however, few tools for
currency risk identification and for choosing a proper hedging instrument. This Thesis seeks to help firms manage risks better by defining the
currency risk exposures of a multinational corporation, by describing their effects on the cash flows, profit and loss and balance sheet of the
corporation as well as by comparing the applicability of currency forwards and currency options in hedging these exposures. The exposure framework
is constructed based on an... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

undergraduate and graduate students is presented. However, this document is no substitute for the Publication Manual itself. While APA formatting

In 1952, the booklet was expanded and published as a 55–page supplement in Psychological Bulletin with revisions made in 1957 and 1967 (APA,
1952, 1957, 1967).[4][5][6] The first edition covered word choice, grammar, punctuation, formatting, journal publication policies, and "wrapping and

And memo is one of the tools used for precise and distortion free communication. The topic of our report is "Office Memo: Contrast between
Theoretical Concept and Actual Practice". In this report, we showed the differences as well as the similarities between theoretical concept and actual
practice. At first, we gathered theoretical knowledge about the office memo such as– its layout and functions from several books. Than, we entered into
the practical field and collected two samples of office memo and information about its functions from two renowned organizations. This organizations
are– 1. Sonali Bank Limited 2. Social Islami Bank Limited After that, we analyzed both theoretical knowledge and practical information about memo
and contrasted between the two. We mainly focused on the layout of memo, but also illustrated functions of memo. In case of Sonali Bank Limited, we
found that more elaborate layout of memo are used in communication. This layout is different in many ways from the theory such as– ornamental
language is used. But the layout of the memo used by Social Islami Bank is close to the theory to an extent. But in this organization, memo is used for
functions that are different from the theoretical ones. In our research, we found that every organization does not necessarily follow the theoretical
concept in case of forming and using memo.

Marketing consists of all the activities to facilitate the exchange. Within this societal perspective, then (1) the makers (2) what they are marketing
and (3) their potential markets all assume broad dimensions. The category of marketers might include, in addition to business firms, such diverse
social units as (a) a political party trying to market its candidate to the public (b) the director of an art museum providing new exhibits to generate
greater attendance and financial support (c) a labor union marketing its idea to members and to company management; and (d) professors trying to
make their courses interesting for students. In addition to the range of items normally considered as products and services, what is being marketed
might include (a) ideas such as reducing air pollution or contributing to the red cross (b) people, such as new football coach or a political candidate
and (c) places, such as industrial plant sites or a place to for a vocation. In a broad sense markets include more than the direct consumers of products
services and ideas. Thus a state university's market includes the legislators who provide funds, the citizens living near the university who may be
affected by university activities and the alumni. A business firms market may include government regulatory agencies, environmentalists, and local tax
assessors. Definition of Marketing As you already know there are

What Is LGBT?
LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and along with heterosexual they describe people's sexual orientation or gender identity. These
terms are explained in more detail here.
Lesbian
A lesbian woman is one who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to women. Many lesbians prefer to be called lesbian rather than gay.
Gay
A gay man is one who is romantically, sexually and/or emotionally attracted to men. The word gay can be used to refer generally to lesbian, gay and
bisexual people but many women prefer to be called lesbian. Most gay people don't like to be referred to as homosexual because of the negative
historical associations with the word and because the word gay better reflects their ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Sexual orientation also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviours, and membership in a community of others
who share those attractions. Three sexual orientations are commonly recognised – heterosexual, homosexual (gay and lesbian) and bisexual.
Homophobia
Homophobia refers to fear of or prejudice and discrimination against lesbian, gay and bisexual people. It is also the dislike of same–sex attraction and
love or the hatred of people who have those feelings. The term was first used in the 1970s and is more associated with ignorance, prejudice and
stereotyping than with the physiological reactions usually attributed to a 'phobia'. While homophobic comments or attitudes are often unintentional,
they can cause hurt and offence to lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
Transphobia
Transphobia refers to fear of or prejudice and discrimination against people who are transgender or who are perceived to transgress norms of gender,
gender identity or gender expression. While transphobic comments or attitudes are often unintentional, they can cause hurt and offence to transgender
people.

Carol Ann Duffy Poems Analysis
Originally Introduction Memories play a significant role in the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy, particularly her recollections of childhood places and
events. The poem "Originally," published in The Other Country (1990), draws specifically from memories of Duffy's family's move from Scotland to
England when she and her siblings were very young. The first–born child, Duffy was just old enough to feel a deep sense of personal loss and fear as
she traveled farther and farther away from the only place she had known as "home" and the family neared its alien destination. This sentiment is
captured in "Originally," in which it is described in the rich detail and defining language of both the child who has had the experience and the adult
who recalls... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The 'hate name' of the racists is sprayed on a 'brick wall' the harshness and unyielding nature of which is symbolic of the mentality of those who do
such things. The unfamiliar, snowy weather and artificial 'neon lights' create the impression for the immigrant that the country moved to is 'coming
to bits'. This image of fragmentation is, though, not entirely imaginary as he or she has a life splintered from all that is familiar and constantly
experiences a sense of alienation. The italicised words at the close of the poem give voice to the immigrant but this only gives away a difficulty
with English. The unfinished verbs, 'Me not know' and 'It like they only...' are drawn attention to by Duffy in order that the reader may ponder what
it would be like to face the same language problem. The final words of the poem, 'Imagine that' remind us of the opening and there is quite a clear
impression that Duffy is adopting an undisguised didactic stance. As a skilled and empowered user of the English language herself she is drawing
attention to the lot of those who are marginalised because of their deficiency in its use. Carol Ann Duffy's Stealing –An Analysis and thoughts.(Part
One) This is a cold poem in more ways than one.The subject matter is seasonally icy and so is the tone of the speaker. The insouciant delivery suggests

Usage of punctuation marks in academic writing
Introduction
These are symbols which indicate the organisation in written language, structure and the intonation to be observed in a sentence when it is read aloud.
In the written English, It has been necessary to eliminate the ambiguity existing in a sentence. For this reason, punctuation marks have been in used to
bring out the intended meaning of a sentence rather than the variations that can be gotten from it.
The punctuation practice had not been embraced in fully but not long after printing was invented, many of these marks have been added till to date. As
of now, the number of the punctuation marks has reached fourteen, but many are yet to be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
E.g. Jacob and Hildah went to the Chinese department to ask for more information regarding their brother who studies in Hong Kong, China. It is also
used in abbreviation: E.g. Her Apr. honeymoon went sour. Here the word Apr. has been abbreviated to mean the month "April."
The hyphen (–) also known as the en dash. It is slightly the width size of an 'n' and it is slightly long when compared to a hyphen. It is used in joining
compound modifiers having open compound elements. E.g. In the New–York city, the guy was named in the latest journal produce by the leading
writer. Or, He went to North Carolina–Virginia boundaries to see his fiancГ©e who live there. Also, it is used when expressing time periods. E.g. He
will be in Nigeria in the time between Jan–May this year. It is also employed between the parts of a name which are compounded or a word or syllables
of a word (Michael, 55). E.g. (a) The woman who addressed the crowd at the ceremony was going by the name: Mrs. Holt– Raymond. (Used as a
compound name). (b) He laid the two tables back–to–back in the van when they were as to arrange the furniture. (used as a compound word). And the
last example shows the use of a hyphen between syllables of a word. i.e. When we went to our grandpa, we were able to meet with the disputed
thought–full couple.
The semicolon (;) is used as a connector of independent group of words while indicating a relationship which is closer to the

Essay Standard English
In contemporary society the Standard variety of English is the most commonly used as it is respected and associated with a higher prestige. Its usage
is also advocated by prescriptivists who believe that it is the 'correct' and only variety that should be used. Standard English is usually seen in formal
settings, where its usage is necessary for official and public purposes. However, contextual factors play a vital role in determining the most appropriate
variety to be used, which is supported by the Principle of Appropriateness. Certain contexts where a non–standard variety is necessary are in social
media settings and in communities of different ethnicities, where they are undeniably required to create solidarity between speakers.... Show more
A number of students also tried to make the contention that Standard English was not necessary, without appreciating the irony they were discussing
the topic using Standard English. Standardisation and codification were often not well understood. Few students explored the importance of
orthography and grammar in maintaining a Standard English and why these combine to create a variety of English that is understood by most of the
population. The following extract provided a broad range of relevant and contemporary examples that enabled the student to provide strong evidence
in support of why other varieties of English have a value and place in Australian society. There is good use of metalanguage and the paragraphing is
structured and cohesive. There are many people in society, especially those with a prescriptivist attitude, who strongly believe that the Standard is
'intrinsically superior to other varieties', as stated by K Burridge. It is clear however that this is not true, when one considers the ability of ethnolects
and Aboriginal English to express identity and finer nuance. Ethnolects occur when features of someone's first language or 'mother tongue' are adopted
into their second language, in this case English. Features can include the phonological addition of vowel sounds to the ends of nouns e.g. bread /_
/ (common to Greek and Italian); the

report. Some are discussed below: Formatting of the report Please use Microsoft Word so that all information that is explained will have good
looks as these help you to avoid rearrangements. Also make sure that the document is Word 2003 compatible. Length Basically there are no hard
fast rules and the length can vary from person to person depending on the project. It is advisable for an engineering report to have around 100
pages. These will include tables and appendices. Language of Report Report must be written in English as this is considered to be consistent form.
Certain grammar rules needs to be followed Apostrophes: This is the most common mistakes all students make. In English language the apostrophes
is used as a contraction. In an academic writing the words must be written in its full form and words should not be shortened. Acronyms: Science and
engineering fields use lot of acronyms and will be familiar only to specialists who are familiar with the subjects. When using it for first time always
give it the expanded version. Colloquialisms: Avoid usage of slang, phrases, idiomatic and chatty expressions while writing a report. In an academic

Aside from which – when you get your philosophy right, everything else naturally anchors to it. Strategies, processes, attitudes, relationships, trading

And it need not be complicated. The ultimate corporate reference point is: "Is it right and good?... How does this (idea, initiative, decision, etc) stack
up against our ethical philosophy?"
Organisations are complex things, and they become more and more complicated every day. A good ethical philosophy provides everyone with a
natural, reliable reference point, for the tiniest detail up to the biggest strategic decision.

Cultural Effects on English Language Collocation as...
Abstract
In English language, there are many fixed, identifiable, non–idiomatic phrases and construction. Such groups of words are called recurrent
combinations, fixed combination or collocation. Collocation fall into two major groups: grammatical collocation and lexical collocation.
For people who regard the English language as a foreign language or second language, it's so difficult to express it as perfect. This "mini research paper"
talks about "Cultural Effect on English Language Collocation as Foreign Language" to help them more understanding in how to mastering English.
Keywords: Collocation, English as a second language, Cultural effects
Introduction
Learners of English as a foreign or second language, like learners of any ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Strong: A large number of collocations are strong or very strong. For example, we most commonly talk of rancid butter, but that does not mean that
other things cannot be rancid.
2.Weak: These are words which co–occur with a greater than random frequency. Many things can be long or short, cheap or expensive, good or bad.
However, some things are more predictable, which could be called collocation; for example, white wine or red wine.
3.Medium strength: These are words that go together with a greater frequency than weak collocations. Some examples are: hold a meeting; carry out a
study.
The context in which a collocation is used is important. Certain collocations or expressions are appropriate for certain contexts. Factors such as a
difference in status or a social distance between the speaker and the hearer can affect the choice of collocational phrases. For example, we would not
greet our boss by saying "How's it going?"; however, it is all right to greet a friend that way. This example suggests that knowledge of connotation and
formality is important in deciding which collocation to use. (Deveci, 2003).
Language and culture
There are many ways in which the phenomena of language and culture are intimately related. Both phenomena are unique to humans and have therefore
been the subject of a great deal of anthropological and sociological study. Language, of course, is determined by culture, though the extent to which this

Using this way of errors correction students usually realize that their teacher is not the only source of correction and they can learn a lot from one
another. The author of the book `Error Analysis and Interlanguage` S.P.Corder states that " when a learner has made an error, the most efficient way
to teach him the correct form is not by simply giving it to him, but by letting him discover it and test different hypotheses." Mistakes are OK,
everyone makes them. The role of the teacher is not only to correct the mistakes but also prevent them. But how to correct mistakes? There are several
ways of error correction. 1. Students are writing a paragraph about a holiday in ones or twos. – We know very well that a paper that is returned with
