Not too long ago my teenage daughter approached me with a very special request... one that not every father gets from his loving daughter. I was sitting in front of the TV after a hard day at work and while I was fidgeting with the defective cable company-provided remote (the one the kids only know how to operate) trying to find a movie I hadn't yet seen ten times already on cable Jamal Adams Hoodie , she blurts out, "Dad, can I have a breast reduction?"
Now, if you're a parent then you know there exists a certain 'conditioning' that occurs over the years when responding to questions from our children, especially if your attentions are focused elsewhere at the moment. They all have this tendency to ask questions at the most inappropriate times. For example Nathan Shepherd Hoodie , one time I was wrestling with a stubborn pipe while fixing a leak under the kitchen sink. To begin with, I was in a seemingly impossible body contortion trying to manipulate a wrench in a confined space so my frustration level was accelerating. At that moment a passing kid asked, "Dad, can I have ddgrfguff?". I didn't hear the last part of the question but I was safe in responding back, "Yeah Sam Darnold Hoodie , sure." You see, it was a 'can I have' question which was usually food-related as opposed to 'can I go' which requires some passing thought to respond (later I caught holy-heck from my wife for letting my son eat something too close to dinner, but that's a whole other story). But as the kids got older the 'can I have' questions became less about food and more about a request for money... lots of money.
So when my loving daughter asked, "Dad, can I have gufffunfgarble?" Trevon Wesco Hoodie , (again being too sidetracked to hear the end of the question) my first fatherly instinct was to pause ever so briefly (while watching the TV screen fly uncontrollably past HBO and our local city council meeting and stopping at one of those shopping channels) and I reach for my wallet. Suddenly I realized as I was fingering the few singles left in my wallet that she was not asking for money. "You want whaaaat??"
Well, as you would expect, my daughter is "blessed" with rather predominant female accouterments (not sure who's side of the family she got that gene from). She went on to express her reason for this request. "I'm tired of people not looking up at *me* when I talk to them, Dad." Ahhh.. this was a deep human question coming from a 16 year old; an opportunity for lessons to be learned!
I could have blown this all off by simply telling her that when she is of age she could make her own decisions about that; and for now it was not something her folks were ready to consider. But these things always end up being something more. I was afraid her self-esteem would end up suffering somewhere down the line. So we talked about sincerity, understanding Chuma Edoga Hoodie , guys, social attitudes, and personal appearance. We talked about reality... and expectations... and being self-confident. It was the proverbial quality time together.
She has never again asked that question because she has developed a pride in herself and how she looks.. and confidence in her natural instincts and social behavior. In the end my daughter asked a question that could have been answered with a simple yes or no. But what she was really asking was, "Help me, dad." I nearly missed the boat.

In 1958, Hans Peter Luhn published an article in the IBM Journal entitled ?A Business Intelligence System.?? Decades later Mr. Luhn?s concept has spawned a host of new companies and software programs dedicated to providing business intelligence that companies can use to improve their decision making process.? The world and the market have changed since Mr. Luhn published his paper and, although some of the fundamentals have remained the same, the advent of computerization has changed how business intelligence is obtained.?
Luhn?s Business Intelligence Concepts
Luhn wanted to provide information about relationships inferred from facts about a specific business to the owners and decision makers in a company so that they could use the intelligence to further their enterprises.? He envisioned that business goals could be created using this information and that companies could know what they should realistically strive for to improve their long-term and short-term return on investment.? There were three questions that would need to be answered before a working business intelligence system could be created and they were: 1) What is known Quinnen Williams Hoodie , 2) Who needs to know, and 3) Who needs to know what?? Once these questions were answered, the right information could be extracted from the system and the correct relationships drawn.?
Improving Business Intelligence
The ability to use computers to extract and analyze business intelligence data has completely changed the scope and capabilities of the concept.? The first computers with business intelligence programs were not necessarily effective, however.? It took a few talented companies to fine tune the collection and analyzation process before the software could provide useful information to companies.? Now with reporting, spreadsheets Le'Veon Bell Hoodie , visualization, and OLAP capabilities the business intelligence software available to companies of all sizes is not only useful, it is vital to remain competitive in a vast and ever-changing market.
