TEDxDetroit 2011: Positive Ideas for the World from Detroit

TEDxDetroit 2011 was held at downtown Detroit's Max M. Fisher Music Center (home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra) on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to the event. And luckily, I accepted.

Hundreds of local creators, catalysts, entrepreneurs, artists, geeks, designers, thinkers and doers gathered together for a day, seeking to receive inspiration from the various guest lecturers.

TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. TEDxDetroit was the third annual conference to take place in the city.

We are the X. The multipliers. The catalysts. The connectors. The amplifiers. We challenge the status quo. We come together to collaborate, to share fresh ideas and to find inspiration. We are optimistic about our future. We believe Detroit's best days lie ahead. We are the people who are making it happen. We believe that is an idea worth spreading.

If you've never been to TED, it's definitely something to experience.

Food Cost Template Question

Good afternoon

I was wondering!
I am soliciting for a new job in a wonderful Hotel in Amsterdam as a purchasing manager

But i need some templates in English, such as daily food cost control and other foodcost control templates.
Also i am looking for good templates of purchase orders, RFI, RFP etc etc in English.
Can you help me with this? Thanks in advance

Yours sincerely
