English Monarchs -- Anonymous

Guest poem requested by Christie le Goy, and
almost simultaneously submitted by Christopher Martin:
(Poem #1361) English Monarchs
 Willie Willie Harry Stee
 Harry Dick John Harry three;
 One two three Neds, Richard two
 Harrys four five six... then who?
 Edwards four five, Dick the bad,
 Harrys (twain), Ned six (the lad);
 Mary, Bessie, James you ken,
 Then Charlie, Charlie, James again...
 Will and Mary, Anna Gloria,
 Georges four, Will four, Victoria;
 Edward seven next, and then
 Came George the fifth in nineteen ten;
 Ned the eighth soon abdicated
 Then George six was coronated;
 After which Elizabeth
 And that's all folks until her death.

[Christopher's comments]

I first read a version of this in Alan Bennett's play "Forty Years On"
which however stopped at Victoria. This version I found on the web at
        http://www.britannia.com/history/h6.html
There are no doubt many others.

For those who aren't immediately reminded by it of their school years,
the scrap of verse is supposed to put you in mind of:

William the Conqueror
William II (Rufus)
Henry I (Beauclerc)
Stephen (of Blois)
Henry II (Curtmantle)
Richard I (Lionheart)
John (Lackland)
Henry III
Edward I (Longshanks)
Edward II
Edward III
Richard II
Henry IV (Bolingbroke)
Henry V
Henry VI
Edward IV
Edward V
Richard III (Crookback)
Henry VII (Tudor)
Henry VIII
Edward VI
Mary I (Queen of Scots)
Elizabeth I
James VI of Scotland and I of England
Charles I
Charles II
James II
William II
Mary II
Anne (dead)
George I
George II
George III
George IV
William IV
Victoria
Edward VII
George V
Edward VIII (abdicated)
George VI
Elizabeth II

[Not mentioned in the list or the mnemonic are the Empress Matilda, only
surviving legitimate child of Henry I, and mother of Henry II, who was
deposed by her cousin Stephen; and Lady Jane Grey, who was queen for
nine days in 1553 - t.]

[Also omitted are the monarchs who ruled prior to the Battle of
Hastings, though looking at their names -- Egbert and Aethelwulf through
Eadwig and Svein to Hardicanute and Harold -- it's not hard to see why -
t.]

How E-Commerce Platforms Transform Logistics?


In shipping, there are a million different terms to explain the expansion and advancement of technology.Let’s take a better check out these entities and the way they’re playing an important role within the digital transformation of the industry.
What Is E-Commerce Logistics?
eCommerce logistics describes the way during which companies like retailers approach the necessity to handle shipping and management of digital or online orders, no matter where a customer placed an order. These orders are often taken on the terms of the customer including how they're placing their order. All businesses should specialize in enabling and removing roadblocks for his or her customers to try to do business with them. In this case, the digital order is often via desktop, mobile, or tablet. They can be using whichever other browser they like to use or over a phone or business internet connection. Regardless of the device, browser, connection, and any other factor, brands should be in contact with their customer’s activity and the environment around that activity.
This leads to tons of complexity to think about. These associated activities behind it generally take one among three forms:
• An in-house strategy where the shipper packages the shipment, schedules pickup, and plans for fill-up needs.
• Dropshipping, also known as shipping directly to the consumer, where the order is routed to a distribution center or manufacturer for fulfillment and without disturb your internal flow of goods.
• Working with third-party logistics that provide multiple services, from transportation procurement through scheduling and warehousing, to reduce your workload.
All three methods of managing eCommerce logistics have something in common—they specialize in finding efficiencies wherever possible and enabling the customer and that’s a distinction that has started with the biggest eCommerce platforms unity through data and improved experiences.
Business eCommerce Logistics Platform Development Continues to highlight the need for Integration
The types of platforms for managing eCommerce have expanded dramatically in recent years, according to The Reports, eCommerce order volume surged more than 10 years over the past year. This jump in eCommerce orders is related to lockdowns, lifestyle changes, modernization, etc. Transparency is becoming more important during these times, where consumers still want real-time alerts on their phones.
There are a couple of things about the thanks to maximizing the price of e-commerce logistics platforms to reap the rewards of digital transformation.
1. Choose a partner based on capabilities and how well they align with your current and projected needs.
2. Evaluate the real worth of value-added logistics services, like the packaging.
3. Focus on offering fast, free shipping to meet customer demands.
4. Chatbots or other advanced features to enable digital freight management. For eg. The information of air freight USA to India can be traced via any specific digital platform.
5. Increase order quality and accuracy.
6. Think about the environmental cost, using data within Shopify to understand the carbon footprint reductions possible within strategic e-commerce management.
7. Gain control over your inventory flow, reallocating freight when necessary, forecasting demand based on ordering trends, and more.
8. Connect your warehouses to track inventory across the full network regardless of its current stage in the shipment lifecycle.
9. Scale inventory supported regional demand, avoiding over-ordering and positioning inventory closer to finish users
