...quality and service. Although obvious, however, many people tend to assume same quality at home can be achieved automatically in any remote factory. This assumption could cost you a fortune. Take a look at this illustration. Without comparing our works, you might think the first two prototypes were OK, right? Not really if you look further. Common seen quality problems in production The reality is, there are always good and bad manufacturers, home and overseas alike. This isanother example showing some mistakes commonly seen. Generally, problems in product quality include: * Lousy design: it can be deed wrong to assume that factory would know exactly what you want and correct your errors automatically. No, we don't; we tend to think your lousy designs as cute, stylish, and will keep that way * Low class prototype: lack of likeness and details, disproportional, wrong structure, low artistic value * Cheap mold quality: inaccurate, rough, cut details * Bad molding: twisting, bubble, breakage, scratch, chip-off, excessive shrinkage * Improper polishing: uneven, rough, excessive sand-off * Poor painting: overlapped stain, uneven paint, missing paint, mismatching color, poor looks Difference in quality control Besides product quality, there are differences in prototyping capacity, production capacity, integrity, and attitude toward serving customers' needs. Our factories are equipped with the technology, facilities, and services that meet high standards as...

...about three quarters of it. In startups, the big winners are big to a degree that violates our expectations about variation. I don't know whether these expectations are innate or learned, but whatever the cause, we are just not prepared for the 1000x variation in outcomes that one finds in startup investing. That yields all sorts of strange consequences. For example, in purely financial terms, there is probably at most one company in each YC batch that will have a significant effect on our returns, and the rest are just a cost of doing business. [1] I haven't really assimilated that fact, partly because it's so counterintuitive, and partly because we're not doing this just for financial reasons; YC would be a pretty lonely place if we only had one company per batch. And yet it's true. To succeed in a domain that violates your intuitions, you need to be able to turn them off the way a pilot does when flying through clouds. [2] You need to do what you know intellectually to be right, even though it feels wrong. It's a constant battle for us. It's hard to make ourselves take enough risks. When you interview a startup and think "they seem likely to succeed," it's hard not to fund them. And yet, financially at least, there is only one kind of success: they're either going to be...

...has extensively covered the fact that often times a company's 24-hour help lines or 411 operators are actually working in a country on the other side of the world. But there is a wide range of activities that can benefit from this practice. There are labor advantages, and other advantages--huge advantages to rethinking how businesses execute their processes given the technology that's available. It's not just IT. This is important for a wide range of areas including the medical industry. An article I read the author Subramani talks about the 24-hour clock in today's business world and how important it is for companies to take advantage of the complementary time zones that exist. "For example, after doctors see a patient, they typically pick up a tape recorder and take notes. Local workers pick up the tapes, transcribe the notes, and return them within one to two days. Instead, that doctor could send his notes as a digital file when he leaves work at 5 p.m. to an Indian worker who, in that part of the world, is just coming into work. By the time the doctor returns the next morning his notes are transcribed." Subramani's example raises a point about outsourcing that is often at the root of questions today If someone in India is transcribing the doctor's notes, doesn't that take away a job from someone in the United States? It's hard to say how many jobs have gone overseas because United States companies are not required to maintain such statistics. Forrester Research estimates...

...we were taught since childhood. The idea of living life is reduced to a life tacked by common sense. My own significant weight is what led me down the path of realization. My life had a slight change July 9, 2010, I was charged with two felonies. January 1, 2010 was when everything began. I started dating a young man that wasn’t right for me and I knew it, but I looked past it and gave him a chance. I was in deep LIKE. His lifestyle wasn’t the legal lifestyle and his friends wasn’t right either, but I looked pasted all the wrongs and continued on with my relationship. I would do anything for this guy, I only asked one thing from him and that was to not put me in any trouble and he agreed; but his friends had a different view on others life that wasn’t theirs. The summer of 2010 was when everything started to change. We decide to move in together and continue on with our relationship. Life and Love can be a tricky thing. Rather I knew right from wrong I believe he was right for me. Again, the friends were a issue and I knew it but I trusted him to have them in order and make sure or house was our home. Life is not what you dreamed it to be. July 9, 2010 my partners’ friend asked for a ride and when I dropped him off I notices he left a black book bag in my vehicle, I didn’t think much of it because he was a college student. After dropping him off, I went to go pick up my check and on my way from leaving there it was raining really hard and as I was going around the curb,...

...possibilities of future events (Corey, 2013). Exploring a wider range of beliefs and feelings aids clients during this process, helping clients to better appreciate who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing. When clients come to counselors that they just want to talk, so they can sort out things and listen to themselves on what they are saying are on of the problems that they would have to the therapist. As a future counselor I believe that setting a topic therapy for the client is a way that can help the client to talk about how they are feeling. For instance I work at Carrier Clinic as a Mental Health Technician and right now I'm a shadowing group with the clients. And eventually as I will run group by my self one of my topics would be, for the client to pick a seashell that is in a basket. And when they pick the sea shell, I would then tell them, that while they are choosing a shell, I want they to choose a shell that describe on how they are feeling right now. As I was walking in the beach, I discovered one of them most beautiful shells I have ever seen in my life, so I collected a great amount of it. By observing each shell, I...

...ent Applied Behavioral Analysis and Case Studies Bobby, Jackie, and Emma Joshua Stewart Kaplan University PS360- Unit 4 Assignment Prof. Chrystal Ayala June 15, 2015 Applied Behavioral Analysis and Case Studies Bobby, Jackie, and Emma Applied Behavioral Analysis is a natural science that aims to systematically apply intervention processes using the behavior learning theory in order to remove or change undesirable socially significant behaviors (Cooper, Heron, Heward, 2007). Applied behavioral analysis can be applied in many setting and situations and the intervention process and techniques depend on those settings and individual situations. Applied behavioral analysis is used to modify target behaviors that can occur in the home, in the community, in an educational setting, and is even used to aid in treatment for rehabilitation programs. Through the use of different components of ABA such as operant conditioning, reinforcement, modification programs, and extinction to name a few, one will develop a behavioral modification plan to best suit each client’s specific needs. In the first case, Bobby is an 8-year-old boy who cannot keep his room cleaned or organized despite the fact that he is constantly reminded by his father to do so. Mr. Kelley would like to establish a modification process for Bobby to encourage him to keep his bedroom clean on a regular basis. First the target behavior and modification process must be identified in order to determine the appropriate...

For example, the events that happened to Malala Yousafzai and other girls like her. Raising awareness to this issue is significant for all people are equal, and this doesn’t seem equal. A group of people may disagree with me on this issue, but I hope to change their minds with what I need to say. That group might say that men are superior and girls are inferior and that is how it is, however I disagree. I disagree since there are several advantages of educating girls’. The key point is that “Grown up educated girls can play an essential role...

...Last August, the Miami Dolphins' first overall draft pick Jake Long stepped into the locker room just like everyone else. Like everyone else he laced up his pads, studied his playbook, and listened intently to his coaches’ instructions. He wore the same uniform as everyone else and had gone to college before joining the team… just like everyone else. However, there were two major differences between Jake Long and nearly everyone else on the Dolphins. Long had never played one snap in the NFL and yet had just signed a five year $57 million contract. That contract would pay him more than nearly every other member of the team, most of which had proven their worth at the professional level for years. Long is just one example of the scores of unproven rookies entering the NFL and signing huge contracts. The contracts often become an albatross around the neck of the team’s finances and negatively impact the morale of its veterans. The current system of rookie pay in the NFL has become unsustainable, and a fairer system must be put in place. College players enter the NFL through a draft. Each year every NFL team selects from the best college players in the country in reverse order of how the team finished. The worst team picks first and the best team picks last. The higher a team picks in the draft, the more money they are expected to pay the player they select. In the past decade, the salaries demanded by the top picks in the NFL draft have skyrocketed. If teams are unwilling to pay...

...Worldview Tammie Townsend Liberty University Part I: Worldview – is a person’s opinion of the world based on his or her experiences, values, and opinions about the world. It doesn’t matter if you are looking at it from a Christian or non-Christian’s perspective. Most Christians based their view of the world from a biblical view where non-Christians may not. It is not proper or wrong because it is established on each individual’s view of his or her creation. “The notion that everyone has an unique perspective, that we interpret facts through the lens of some theory about life seems like self-evident.” (Bertrand, 2007) 70 Part II: The Book of Genesis permits us to look at the beginning of a plurality of realities that frame our everyday being. The foundation of the world and the planet earth; the roots of plants and animal spirits; and the beginnings of human beings, marriage, families, states, industry, artistic expression, spiritual rituals, prophecy, sin, law, crime, conflict, punishment, and destruction are the institution of God our Father. It was God’s idea, hand, and breathes that created it all. It took him only six days to complete the universe and man. And our God rested on the seventh day of his creation. (The Book of Genesis). Humans are created in the image of God. God desired humans to reign over every living creature on earth, the birds, fish, cows, and worms. God wanted human beings to be fruitful and multiply to preserve...

...University of Phoenix Material Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will answer. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, remember that you need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper.

...The Relationship between Critical Thinking and Ethics Amber Williamson GEN 201 November 23, 2015 Tina Bernard The Relationship between Critical Thinking and Ethics Critical thinking and ethics play a significant role within each other's decision process. They both use each other’s steps and processes to obtain a desired result. Throughout this paper, you will understand what critical thinking and ethics are and the relationship between the two. Critical Thinking Critical thinking is the ability to think rationally about a subject or material. Your brain uses a process to dissect the information into sections, then reconstruct the pieces into new connections. Using critical thinking allows a person to come up with something different based on the original idea that could open new relationships with other ideas. ‘Critical thinking is made up of a process that includes six levels’ (Ellis, 2011, para. page 2). The first level is remembering. In this level, a person focuses on whether or not they can recall important facts about the idea. Examples may be key terms or certain events. The second level is understanding. The big question here is, do I know what the idea is? Can I summarize and put the idea into my words? Level three is applying. In this level, a person needs to be able to take the idea and use it to get the results that they are looking for. On level four it is time to analyze the idea. By doing this, the idea will be broken or...
