Begin With the End in Mind.
The end of one’s life should be a joyful celebration of one’s achievements and contribution in making the world a happier, peaceful better place. Imagine your family and friends at your funeral telling stories and anecdotes of the times they spent their times together with you. Which reminds me of my lunch earlier today.
The newly hatched chick that emerges into the world from its egg, imagines that day long in the future when it will make someone so happy in the restaurant. Its goal and purpose in life has be achieved in providing the diner with so much happiness as she bites into the succulent, delicious, barbeque sauce covered chicken breast. The chick is so proud in the product of its life achievement. It has made several people so happy - the farmer who has laboured so hard in the chick’s husbandry, the chef in the kitchen who dreamt up the recipe; the waiter hoping to get a big tip from the happy diner; and of course the diner and her friends.
A table for one at the Mexican restaurant is a big responsibility for its owner and staff. Today’s most important and only customer, receives all the attention of the waiting and kitchen staff. Everyone wants to do their best to provide unequaled service and first-class food. The atmosphere in the dining area is enhanced by tuning the TV into a Spanish speaking channel, to ensure that its sole diner does stand out as she proudly displays her plate for the world to see. This can be contrasted to the fairy-tale castle of Neuschwanstein, that proudly standing amongst the trees on the edge of the cliff overlooking the beautiful river valley, showing off its architecture, which would not look out of place in a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart opera. However unlike our sole diner, our attention must also be given to the castle’s beautiful setting, with stunning mountain peaks, the deep mysterious forest with the tree tops penetrating out into the glorious sunlight.
The cycle path lead us around the in a figure of eight and eventually to the start of the Enchanted Wood. Inside the wood the beer loving elves are looking for an innocent volunteer for their new atomic transporter. The nasal, one-syllable honking sound of the wood’s resident Canadian geese will soon be replaced by the humming of the electrical current in the transporter, as it powers up the energy required to beam our brave volunteer’s atoms to the other side of the globe at the speed of light. .
Reconstituted dazed and confused , our volunteer hear the sounds of Wolfgang Mozart’s famous drinking song from Don Giovanni as she lands in front the doors of the Munich Beer Hall.
This beer hall is infamous because of its association with Hitler and rise of the Nazi party in 1920s Germany. However elves are not interested in political history, they motives are purely epicurean.
As our volunteer leaves the great southern German city heading further south in the foothills of the Alps on route to Austria. rhttp://www.classical-music.com/article/best-classical-drinking-songs
Whose motorcycle is this?
It's a chopper baby.
Whose chopper is this?
It's Zed's.
Who's Zed?
Zed's dead baby,
Zed's dead. (Pulp Fiction)
With its owner long gone and perished the chopper is available for us to go on an urban adventure. A city tour around the sights and places of interest in the historic city of Munich.
Our starting point is the Olympiaturm - Olympic Tower. We park our chopper at the bottom of the tower and ascend the spiraling staircase all the way up to the revolving restaurant . Exhausted from the climb we are greeted by a blonde fraulein waitress who ushers us to window table with its panoramic views of Munich 290m below. Google recommends the weisswurst, broetchen und senf - ( Hotdog and dark mustard) from the menu. Wunderbar! Just what is needed to restore our energy to continue our chopper ride around this beautiful city.
Back on the chopper with the engine revving and loudly announcing our presence. We set off at high speed to the Englischer Garten ( English Garden) . The other visitors are disturbed by our arrival, as we break the peace and tranquility with our noisy machine. They are however far too polite to complain as they sip their afternoon teas in the Japanese Teahouse. Feeling unwelcome we mount the chopper and head off into the sunshine to the Marienplatz.
The Marienplatz is Munich’s beautiful and historic city square. Parking the chopper is no problem, so we ride directly to Mary’s Column at the center of this wonderful old square. There’s a beer bar directly opposite and we remove our helmets and head across through the throngs of tourist. We order 2 steins of Münchner Bier from the fraulein and park our leather clad bottoms on the seat with the clearest view.

Introduction
AI in the supply chain is becoming important because of globalization. The support provided by AI can significantly reduce human error and allow us to deal with dynamic changes efficiently. In addition, AI can help in overcoming language barriers, and can assist in making supply chains much more effective. This is the reason why the top two AI companies, Apple and Amazon, are valued at over a trillion dollars. Both of these companies greatly rely upon in supply chains.
From the article entitled of” AI in Supply Chain: 6 Reasons Executives Should Invest in AI in 2018”. The six reasons given here include
1. Reduce time spent on repetitive tasks,
2. Make informed decisions based on historical records about future outcomes,
3. Make informed decisions based on automated alerts around points of failure in the supply chain production process
4. Use natural language processing to monitor your suppliers across borders with AI in supply chain algorithms,
5. Use chatbots to effectively manage your supply chain process,
6. Use anticipatory logistics to predict product demand and improve supply chain planning
The reasons listed above shows that supply chains rely on computer language and data analysis to make them function automatically,. However, it is also can serve as a warning for us that AI will replace many human jobs in the future.
Why is AI so effective nowadays? This may be due in thanks to the technology used for example in the development of natural language processing. Natural language processing can be used to monitor suppliers across borders with the use of AI in supply chain algorithms.
Natural language processing (NLP) allows you to automatically monitor your suppliers by aggregating information about them from all over the world, then automatically translating this information into English and thereby enabling efficient communication to speakers of different languages right across the globe.
How can we increase automation in the supply chain? This will rely on AI. In the past, if one wanted to purchase a piano . One needed to go to a piano supplier and place an order. These days we only need to boot-up a computer and place the order on-line. The piano will be delivered to the customer’s home in a matter of hours. This is the beauty of AI technology and the methodology used in this process is computerisation.
From the article, it said:
According to the Harvard Business Review, only 7% of all manufacturing and service companies are using AI to automate production activities. Other critical business functions are on a similarly slow path to AI adoption: only 3% of these companies are using AI to detect fraud, while only 8% are using it to budget effectively.
Yet, as we’ve seen, applying AI to your supply chain management process can yield massive, quantifiable results:
- AI reduces the time spent on manual labor, freeing employees to make more valuable contributions to your business.
- AI allows you to make better, more informed decisions based on prior historical data.
- AI provides critical alerts and recommendations for when things go wrong.
- AI helps you monitor suppliers in other regions of the world to proactively prevent problems.
- AI simplifies supply chain relationship management.
- AI helps you optimize your supply chain processes to increase customer satisfaction and generate more profit for your business.
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is not using original work, instead it is obtaining information without effort from the work and effort that others have already built. These days it is very easy to obtain information, it also means it is very easy to plagiarize. Therefore, the most important thing is to cite the references, if this is not your idea even it is in not in the public domain . This is a good habit and to will allow us to respect people who create new ideas. Acknowledge others for their efforts in creating knowledge. This is also to show respect for people who contribute their work. 8
