Henry Morris Quotations

where there's a pattern that's complex in a certain highly ordered way, so that it's best explained as a product of an intelligent cause. The other side says that's a code word for G-O-D. Well, that may or may not be the case.

Maintaining a single view of products, customers, locations, and financial accounts is a significant challenge. At its heart, master data management involves changing, consolidating, and rationalizing core processes such as new product introduction or customer (or patient/citizen/supplier) registration and ongoing management. The greatest complexity comes from these business process changes and process integration issues, over and above the data integration requirements.

MDM really is centered around the capability to coordinate operations, in addition to reporting. MDM has been around for years, but using master data for specific domains, such as customers, products or financial accounts, is giving rise to Applied MDM and Infrastructure MDM.

MDM reaches across a number of areas, where functional units within an organization need to share data on products, customers, locations, etc., across multiple systems. As companies gather more data, and have to make it usable for CRM and compliance purposes, they encounter increasing difficulties and questions. What data is correct? Who is responsible for it? Who maintains the information?

From our point of view, however, any interpretation of Genesis which accommodates the standard system of evolutionary geological ages is a clear-cut compromise with atheistic evolution, and it is very sad that Christians who profess to believe the Bible as the Word of God will not acknowledge this.

What would happen if we accept God's gift of tithing when we accept God's gift of money? If we give off the top, we claim our place as 'givers' before we admit that we are 'consumers.' That puts our priorities in order and establishes a framework of gratitude around the rest of our financial affairs.

I said 'good as gold'. Friendship is more important - we're not a bunch of bully boys.

We hate that conduct. It's not South Sydney, it's anti-Australian.

We were able to give them priority based on a natural disaster preference,

Even higher critics have often admitted that the tenth chapter of Genesis is a remarkably accurate historical document. There is no comparable catalog of ancient nations available from any other source. It is unparalleled in its antiquity and comprehensiveness.

The XML approach will provide the lingua franca for getting at various types of data; it is providing a sort of structure for unstructured data. The question is how much of this unstructured data is going to be in XML. It will be a small part relative to the total amount of unstructured data that is in a company.

That's it for me, no more from now on. I'll still be a supporter, always have been, but it's back to the Juniors for me now.

It's a bold move. (IBM has) made significant investments in technologies surrounding information on demand. But the technology investment doesn't make sense unless they are also making investments around a practice to help organizations deploy the technology to deliver the information where it's needed.

The Biblical record itself makes it plain that the days of creation are literal days, not long indefinite ages. If he wished to convey the idea of long geological ages, however, he could surely have done it far more clearly and effectively in other words than in those which he selected.

The Bible is unique also in terms of its effect on individual men and on the history of nations. It is the all-time best seller, appealing both to hearts and minds, beloved by at least some in every race or nation or tribe to which it has gone, rich or poor, scholar or simple, king or commoner, men of literally every background and walk of life.

They would have booed Santa Claus in there if he had the hide to advocate a No vote.

I don't think there will be a lot of public support for these strikes because they are seen as highly-paid industrial workers. If the union had a long strike, they will move perhaps even more production offshore.

The macro-trends foreshadow major disruptions in the software industry. For example, enterprise solutions platform highlights a shift away from ERP suites as the center of gravity in applications. Intelligent process automation speaks to the rising importance of operational decisions as the target for improvements in business efficiency. And the pull of compliance brings renewed attention to information governance across the enterprise. IDC software analysts are teaming up across research areas to explore the implications of these disruptions to established practices and market players,

These problems were identified back in the 1980s and 1990s, when customer information files (CIF) and ERP were being put into place, but they didn't solve the problem they were implemented to solve. At the high end of the spectrum, with SAP and similar solutions, a company like Unilever or Phillips might have dozens of separate SAP implementations within its organizational structure.
