IBM Cognos Integration Server • Supports continuous planning and As proprietary applications for business intelligence (BI) and reporting cycles. performance management (PM) have transitioned from being data end-points to key sources of information, the need to extract that information from these varied systems for loading into centralized repositories has grown to be a business imperative. The various sources can become “data islands,” with users forced to constantly compare spreadsheets to confirm that the information is correct. Custom interfaces are too unstable to reliably extract data and metadata for reporting purposes. IT requires the rigidity of a relational system while finance users need their cubes.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

Travis insists he‘s a sexpert, but if there‘s a degree on his wall, I haven‘t seen it. Also, this show isn‘t for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What‘s up, you cool baby? [theme music plays] Justin: Hello, everybody, and welcome to My Brother, My Brother and Me, an advice show for the modern era. I‘m your oldest brother, Justin McElroy, and I just punched the noss! Travis: I‘m your middlest brother, Trav-v-v-v-vis McElroy! Griffin: I‘m your sweet—and I‘m your—[gravelly] I‘m your sweet baby brother, Griffiiin. Travis: No. Griffin: [normally] What? Travis: No. Justin and I were bringing, like, a high-energy thing in, and you kinda came in scary. Justin: No, I think he ga—I think he‘s like a bad boy, or a wild man. Travis: Oh! Griffin: I was pretty ba—yeah, let me go at it differently, ‗cause a lot of people, when they say like, ―He‘s the bad boy,‖ like, ―He talks like this!‖ But he can also be a bad boy like… [nasally, wavering tone] I‘m—I‘m Griffin.
