Reality? This should not be used to learn day trading........2002-02-02

This is in response to the first review of this book, written Nov 13, 2000 - The book came out Oct 27, 2000, right? And you were given this book by a 'veteran trader'? So, in 17 days, this 'veteran' trader read this book, it changed his life, and then he passed it along to you, and you read it too? C'mon. Obviously this review was written by the publisher or author(s). I, however, have read this book. But I can say this much. This book is more geared to the beginner, and as such it is very dangerous to recommend that a beginner day-trade futures and options. This book should not be used as the basis for actually getting into any sort of day trading.

don't buy this book.......2002-01-31

I bought this book but it only contains outdated information.e.g on computers that should be used. The book is not true to its title of how to start day trading. Junk info like getting internet connection, comfortable chair etc are frustrating. Basic info like defining trading terms like t & f analysis, what are options & futures can be gleaned from anywhere free of charge. It is unwise to spend money on this book. If one just asks people on the message boards he will get the info free of charge.

A Great Insight Provider.......2000-11-14

Recently, a friend--a veteran trader--gave me a gift he said would help me--a novice--further my education. The gift consisted of two books: Oz' "The Stock Trader" and Katz and McCormick's "How to Start Day Trading Futures, Options, and Indices." As far as I'm concerned, these two books complement one another perfectly. One provides insight through example and the other provides basic knowledge and procedure. These books have not only helped me improve my trading and money management skills, but my appreciation of the nuances of the game.

Book Description

Advance Praise for Master Scheduling "Master scheduling, the complex integration of all management planning activities, is presented in John Proud's effective style. A tremendously broad undertaking, [this book] is sensitive to the need of the practitioner to know how and the executive to know why." Richard Pugliese Executive (Retired), Monitor Labs Systech Xerox Corporation "The master scheduling techniques explained in this book form the best approach for cost effectively replacing the communication links that are often lost in the current environment of reduced people resources. Master Scheduling is the single best resource for these business solutions." Michael L Bales Operations Manager, Electrical Apparatus Division Joslyn Manufacturing Co. "Provides both education for the uninitiated and practical reference material for the practitioner. It is a valuable resource for any enterprise." Tim Ewen Vice President, Supply Chain Management Applied Magnetics Corporation "John Proud helps the reader to understand the application of master scheduling principles and describes what works in great detail. Master Scheduling will become the text for any course on master scheduling and the standard resource for all manufacturing companies.…" Richard C. Ling President, Richard C.Ling,Inc.

Balancing supply and demand.......2005-05-25

Questions for the executive team that merit concern: What about inventory? If a plant is schedule to build a 100 unit but 140 appear will there be enough inventory to satisify the unexpected demand? In the reverse, when demand fails should the plant continue building inventory? What are the alternatives existing on the manufacturing floor? When orders fail to appear workers and equipment are idle unless alternative work is found. When demand exceeds supply, can more supply be created through overtime or outsourcing? How are customers affected? "When actual demand is underestimated, management becomes the traffic cop, directing the company's limited output to certain customers and withholding it from others."

"Knowing that forecasts will never match actual demand, except on rare occassion, master schedulers understand that they must be flexible in shifting capacity and materials from one period to another. They must know which customer will allow a delivery split over two or more periods. "A valid master plan is one in which the material due dates equal the material need dates, and the planned capacity equals the required capacity."

Manufacturing Production Scheduling is balancing Demand (Sales Forecasts, Customer Orders, Branch Warehouses, Interplant orders, and Custom/Special Orders) with Supply (Inventory,Equipment, Labor, Facilities, Time, and Money). When a company has more demand for it product it can 1. Increase the supply of the product by getting more material and resources 2. Decrease the demand by turning away or rescheduling some of the demand. Likewise, if there is more supply of the product than demand the company has two choices: 1. Increase demand by energizing the sales force, run a promotion, or discount price. 2. Decrease the supply of the product or material/capacity needed to produce it by cutting back production, people, and equipment.

The supply side can have a shock absorber. Inventory is a shock absorber. Another type of supply shock absorber is flexibility in the manufacturing chain which allows the company to alter plant floor activity to satifisy demand flunctations with severe disruptions.

The demand side can have a shock absorber. Flexiblity can extend to sales and marketing through promotions and discounts. The customer can be swayed to cooperate with the demand and supply balance through sales and discount or sales inducements.

A company must decide which side of the demand and supply balance to focus on: "sell the products manufacturing makes" or "build the products that sales sells." Once decided the company moves to the task of balancing product supply through demand management, sales and operation planning, supply management, and master scheduling.

Capacity planning addresses the question: "Do we or will we have enough equipment, enough people, enough materials, and enough time to meet the sales and operations plans as currently written?"

Demand managment manages all demands for the product and ensures the master scheduler is aware of them. It encompasses the activities of forecasting, order entry, order promising, branch warehouse requirements, interplant orders, and service part requirements.

Supply management manages replenishment quantities created in response to anticipated or firm demands for the product. It encompasses supply planning in pre-sales and operations planning, rationing out the production plan to the manufacturing facility, coordinating finished goods inventory, manage production to satisify customer demand, establishing competitive lead times, and counseling with plant master schedules.

Fairly comprehensive and EZ to understand.......2001-03-24

One of few 600-pages book that is easy to understand, and a "pleasure" to read. The book is well organized, and fairly comprehensive. I was a novice in manufacturing concepts and this book helped me gain significant understanding of manufacturing planning concepts. The only subject that is lacking is a brief chapter on modern supply chain planning software packages that have become essential tools these days. The book is very expensive, but IMHO it's worth every penny if you're trying to learn about the subject.

Comprehensive and wonderfully written........1998-09-18

John F. Proud has given us the definitive text on master scheduling. He has turned what should be a dry subject into 500+ pages that are thorough, enlightening, and suprisingly readable.

Contents include the mechanics of master scheduling, managing the MPS in various manufacturing environments (make-to-stock, make-to-order, etc.), planning bills, finishing schedules, capacity planning, demand management, and system implementation. Key points are punctuated by a running fictional account of master scheduling in action -- with all the personalities and politics that bear on this essential task.

Proud presents the vast material in a logical and entertaining manner. Detailed computational examples are provided for many of the situations a master scheduler will face. Proud is not afraid to depart from standard APICS language or teachings when appropriate -- but he does clearly identify when he has done so. Perhaps most significant is his exceptional grasp of the human relations and management issues involved. He shows that master scheduling is more than just crunching numbers.

Highly recommended as preparation for the APICS Master Planning exam.

Book Description

How are national and international labour laws responding to the challenge of globalization as it re-shapes the workplaces of the world? This collection of essays by leading legal scholars and lawyers from Europe and the Americas addresses the implications of globalization for the legal regulation of the new workplace. It examines the role of international labour standards and the contribution of the International Labour Organization, and assesses the success of the European experiment with continental employment standards. It explores the prospects for hemispheric co-operation on labour standards in the Americas, and deals with the impact of international labour standards on the rights of women and migrant workers. As the nature and organization of work around the world is being decisively transformed, new regional and international institutions are emerging that may provide the platform for new labour standards, and for protecting existing ones.

Book Description

In the last two decades it was demonstrated that, in addition to masses and charges, magnetic moments of nuclei are able to influence remarkably chemical reactions. This book presents the physical background (both theoretical and experimental) of the magnetic isotope effects in radical reactions in solutions. Special attention has been paid to the quantitative interpretation of the available experimental data. This book will be useful for physicists, chemists and biologists employing the isotope effect in their investigations as well as for those involved in isotope separation and isotope enrichment projects. Additionally, the magnetic isotope effect appears to be important in geochemistry and cosmochemistry. The book can be recommended for postgraduates and senior undergraduate students.

Book Description

Bestselling master of suspense Jeffrey Deaver is back with a brand-new Lincoln Rhyme thriller. To save the life of a young girl who's being stalked by a ruthless hit man. Lincoln and his protege, Amelia Sachs, are called upon to do the impossible: solve a truly "cold case" -- one that's 140 years old.

The Twelfth Card is a two-day cat-and-mouse chase through the streets of uptown Manhattan as quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs try to outguess Thompson Boyd a man whose past has turned him into a killing machine as unfeeling and cunning as a wolf. Boyd is after Geneva Settle, a high school girl from Harlem, and it's up to Lincoln and Amelia to figure out why.

The motive may have to do with a term paper that Geneva is writing about her ancestor, Charles Singleton, a former slave. Charles was active in the early civil rights movement, but was arrested for theft and disgraced. Lincoln and Amelia work frantically to figure out what actually happened on that hot July night in 1868 when Charles was arrested.

Deaver's inimitable plotting keeps this story racing at a lightening-fast clip. With breathtaking twists and multiple surprises, this is Deaver's most compelling Lincoln Rhyme audiobook to date.

"Bestselling master of suspense Jeffery Deaver is back with a brand-new Lincoln Rhyme thriller. To save the life of a young girl who's being stalked by a ruthless hit man, Lincoln and his protégé, Amelia Sachs, are called upon to do the impossible: solve a truly ""cold case"" -- one that's 140 years old. The Twelfth Card is a two-day cat-and-mouse chase through the streets of uptown Manhattan as quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs try to outguess Thompson Boyd -- by all appearances a nondescript, innocuous man, but one whose past has turned him into a killing machine as unfeeling and cunning as a wolf. Boyd is after Geneva Settle, a high school girl from Harlem, and it's up to Lincoln and Amelia to figure out why. The motive may have to do with a term paper that Geneva is writing about her ancestor, Charles Singleton, a former slave. A teacher and farmer in New York State, Charles was active in the early civil rights movement but was arrested for theft and disgraced. Assisted by their team, Fred Dellray, Mel Cooper and Lon Sellitto (suffering badly from a case of nerves due to a near miss by the killer), Lincoln and Amelia work frantically to figure out where the hired gun will strike next and stop him, all the while trying to determine what actually happened on that hot July night in 1868 when Charles was arrested. What went on at the mysterious meetings he attended in Gallows Heights, a neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that was a tense mix of wealthy financiers, political crooks like Boss Tweed and working-class laborers and thugs? And, most important for Geneva Settle's fate, what was the ""secret"" that tormented Charles's every waking hour? Deaver's inimitable plotting keeps all these stories -- the past and the present -- racing at a lightning-fast clip as we learn stunning revelations that strike at the very heart of the U.S. Constitution and that could have disastrous consequences for today's human and civil rights in America. With breathtaking twists and multiple surprises that will keep readers on tenterhooks until the last page, this is Deaver's most compelling Lincoln Rhyme book to date. "

Customer Reviews:

Superb!!.......2007-06-12

This was my first Jeffery Deaver and I was mighty impressed. He included little details throughout the book that kept it from having slow points or lulls. Super secondary characters. Well worth reading more than once.

A great book.......2007-06-05

I save five star ratings for the truly exceptional books - the ones that leave me short of breath and unwilling to move onto another printed page lest the magic disappear. This book is a good read, fun, absorbing, well worth the time spent, and a shame to see end. And I highly recommend it to mystery fans, Deaver fans, and Lincoln Rhyme devotees. The typical twists, the typical unexpected clues, and the guaranteed overlooked detail...but not one moment was a waste of my time.

The Twelfth Card.......2007-05-08

Jeffery Deaver has written what could be one of the best movie series of all time. Every book should be a movie. I wouldn't get up to make popcorn. Intense, total concentration so as not to miss his next inuendo, you are transported from all daily life into the maze that is his creations. Never dissappointed. Always a hand-wringing anxiety that something new won't be available for yet another several months. What can I say, I am happily, hopelessly addicted to his craftsmanship. Sheer ADORATION and appreciation for the copper taste of his life blood that goes into everything he writes.

4.5 stars: Another interesting yet different Rhyme novel from Deaver.......2007-04-10

No spoilers

After getting this far in the Rhyme series and having read other Deaver novels, I was affraid that I would no longer be caught off guard by the surprises in his books. With this book, that couldn't have been further from the truth. Even though I love to be totally surprised when I read thriller/mysteries like the Rhyme series, I can't help but try hard to guess at the unknowns or anticipate the plot twists, even though I secretly hope I'm wrong. With The Twelfth Card, I tried to guess at the surprises that were coming and who wasn't who they said they were and how the loose ends of the story would tie themselves up, but I simply could not, and I bet you won't either.

I really enjoyed this book, not only because it's subject matter is so different from the other Rhyme novels (we know it's Rhyme and Sachs vs. a killer but every book is a different subject), but also because I got hit in the face with surprises I didn't even see coming.

The only problem with this book (and this reason it is not 5 stars ) is that due to the fact that most of it takes place in Harlem, Deaver has some of the characters use Fred Dellray-esque vernacular, but it wasn't convincing to me as authentic at all. I know he wanted to make the characters sound genuine, but when I read it I couldn't help but smirk at the image of Deaver searching Google for "ghetto words" for some of the characters. Aside from that one flaw, it's a great read and Rhyme fans will devour it like all the other ones.

Not one of my favorites.......2007-02-23

I love most Deaver thrillers with their mean twists. I was waiting for one with Twelfth Card but I can only say this one didn't grab me. Looking forward to Cold Moon though
