...What kind of analysis should Moore do of its Web orders to find out if they are 'good' orders? Web is a big source of orders for Moore. It’s important that they correct the flaws that are existing in their current web set up, to be able to do full justice to the money they spent on this powerful source of information technology. They should implement a feedback system in which they ask for feedback from the customers regarding various factors such as ease of navigation through the website, quality of service and products etc. They could initially introduce a 5% discount offer for the customers who give feedback after use, to lure them into giving feedback. The various things that have to be kept in mind are that they should ensure the products delivered are of the highest quality and ensure a timely delivery of the orders placed. For this they need to have good inventory management system by which they have access to all of their products at each of the Distribution center at any point in time. They should then do an analysis on the complaints and the enquiries made through the feedback system or through any other channel for that matter. Customer satisfaction was always their strength and to maintain that they would need to be reactive and act in the best possible way to resolve the issues/complaints/drawbacks. They should also analyze their strengths as to which products sell more and make sure that they keep up the good work and plan ways to stay ahead of the competition...

...healthcare system and the corruptness of insurance companies, the documentary Sicko by Michael Moore was still able to shock me about the harsh realities people actually endure concerning their health and well being. I was so blown away with the stories that I actually imagining myself in those people’s situations. C. Wright Mills would say I was using the sociological imagination, which is the ability to see how individual experiences are connected to the larger society. In America we are raised to believe that our nation is the best in the world in every category. This documentary serves to tell otherwise. “People who like to avoid shocking discoveries, who prefer to believe that society is just what they were taught in Sunday school, who like the safety of the rules and the maxims of what Alfred Schuetz has called the “world-taken-for-granted,” should stay away from sociology” (Macionis and Benokraitis, 7) That quote can also be used to describe this film. We need to think outside of our own experiences in life, to truly understand society as a whole. Otherwise we will remain ignorant and heartless as most of health insurance companies in America. The U.S. healthcare system is ranked 37 out of 191 countries in the world. We need to use our sociological imagination to understand the different people affected, especially people like me who have had good enough insurance to cover my medical needs thus far in my life, of course nothing drastic was needed on my part. “The sociological...

...kept under observations 2 times to know the medical reason behind his claim and also to prove his claim of living without food or water from 1940. He believes that the goddess Amba provides him with a water like sustainable liquid inside his body to keep him alive. Till now 2 observational studies has been made, one in 2003 and another in 2010 to prove his claim or to deny it. Many expert neurologists monitored Jani and they were surprised by the result. The experts confirmed Jani's ability to survive without food or water but the claim was not proven due to many allegations relating to the procedure of tests conducted. Observational Conditions : - Jani was examined daily for checking his vital statistics. - Prahlad Jani was made to stay in a sealed room for 10 days. - He was provided just 100 milliliters of water a day for mouth wash. - The room's toilet was sealed off and Cameras were installed to monitor. - No Food / water (except that 100ml) was provided for 10 days straight. Conclusions drawn from the above Observation : - Some liquid was found in his bladder. - Jani was perfectly healthy after that 10 days of observation. - His weight was reduced slightly and he didn't urinate or defecate. The Moore family consisted of parents Josiah B. (aged 43), Sarah (née Montgomery) (39), and their four children: Herman Montgomery (11), Mary Katherine (10), Arthur Boyd (7), and Paul Vernon (5).

...maligned in Moore’s trademark docu-tragi-comic style. And by using the platform of a major motion picture to make a direct assault at the root of the problem, Moore has created space in the political mainstream for a radical conversation (radical meaning “going to the root”). It’s a conversation that is desperately needed as the economic crisis continues to devastate low- and middle-income Americans in spite of President Obama’s and Congress’ efforts to stop the bleeding by throwing trillions of dollars at the banks. Yesterday, Democracy Now! reported that while the Dow Jones topped 10,000 for the first time in a year, foreclosures have reached a record level of 940,000 in the third quarter. But with this film airing in major chain cinemas across the nation, the normally taboo topics of how wealth is divided, who owns Congress, and how vital economic decisions are made are now open for discussion in a way they haven’t been in the U.S. for decades. In Capitalism, Michael Moore features the reality of the economic crisis for America’s usually-invisible poor and working class. The movie begins with a family filming their eviction from their own home. In a terrifying scene, we watch from inside their living room window as 7 police cars roll up to throw the ill-fated family onto the street for failing to make their payments. Moore explained in an interview, “You see [a foreclosure] really for the first time from the point of view of the person being thrown out of the house.” This same...

A common classification used to describe the type of an FSM is Mealy and Moore state machines. • • Mealy State Machine: Its output depends on current state and current inputs. In the above picture, the dotted line makes the circuit a mealy state machine. Moore State Machine: Its output depends on current state only. In the above picture, when dotted line is removed the circuit becomes a Moore state machine. Depending on the need, we can choose the type of state machine. In general, we end up using Mealy FSM. The tradeoff in using the Moore machine is that sometimes the Moore machine will require more states to specify its function than the Mealy machine. The Mealy machine allows you to specify different output...

...Rhetorical Analysis Michael Moore’s documentary “Bowling for Columbine,” was an eye opening look at violence and the causes of it in America. Before watching this film I was already aware that there is a problem in America when it comes to gun related violence and watching it helped to reiterate this fact to me. However, because of the overall confrontational style of this film and all of the facetious undertones implied by Michael Moore, the message it carries with it could have more of a negative than positive effect on the viewer, as it did on me. To start, I would like to focus on what was positive about the film. As a whole, the film focused most on connecting with the audience on an emotional level, the “Pathos” side of things. The most heart-wrenching and pitiful examples are the interviews of victims and those most personally affected by each gun related tragedy. The level of emotion expressed by each victim was enough to make any viewer feel a lump grow in his throat, the most poignant include a realtor choking on his words mid- sentence at the very mention of the Columbine Shooting (:23), live footage of children running and screaming in a cafeteria while listening to distressed 911 calls (:30-:32), and interviews with individuals and victims involved with each of the tragic events focused on, one being the Columbine shooting (:34), the other being the incident in Flint involving the death of a six year old girl (1:23-1:25). Every one of these interviews included...

...too pursued upon them next. It is almost hard as a first time viewer of this documentary to believe everything that is provided throughout the film. Moore has ways of convincing his viewers into what he exactly wants them to believe but sometimes he is lacking the credibility of where this information is coming from. Obviously there are parts of the film that viewers cannot argue with, in cases where there is footage of political officials or general public talking on a certain subject. But at the same time Moore usually doesn’t include what he is always asking the interviewee, so once again is he just showing his audience what is needed to be heard in part will make the viewer believe in what he wants them to. One of the most catching parts of the film as a viewer is Moore’s choice of music in particular scenes. While showing live clips he would play songs that take the scene to another level. He makes the viewer really focus on what he is trying to impose through the music playing in the background. As a viewer it is easy to see that when Moore is using a specific song in the scene it is simply adding to the situation that is being viewed. In all the cases whether it is some type of beat or tone, even those humorous songs playing he is intensifying the scene to keep the viewer intrigued. Right in the beginning of the film Moore is showing a blank black screen with just audio playing in the background. This audio is from ground zero when the planes where crashing into the twin...

...Corporation is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Intel is one of the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip makers, based on revenue.[4] It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Intel Corporation, founded on July 18, 1968, is a portmanteau of Integrated Electronics (the fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information also made the name appropriate). Intel also makes motherboardchipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneersRobert Noyce and Gordon Moore and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Though Intel was originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, its "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it a household name, along with its Pentium processors. Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until 1981. Although Intel created the world's first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became its primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor designs fostering the...

...Introduction Intel Corporation started by the two physicists Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore in 1968, was earlier known as NM Electronics extracted from the initials of the sir names of the two founders. Later, keeping in mind the business description of the company, which was manufacturing Integrated Electronics the founders, revamped it to Intel. Intel is now a giant name in the industry, which deals with enormous customers running the PC market such as Dell and Hewlett Packard. Intel’s road to success is ferocious around the spectrum given its fast paced disruptive innovation technique that has helped it to back off the competition. Intel is the largest semiconductor manufacturer as of 2005 around the globe, supplies 80% of the CPU’s used in PCs, servers and workstations which accumulate almost 90% of the company’s profits. With competitors like AMD whose fabrication plants were spread around the globe, further it relied on the third party for foundry arrangements in the United Sates unlike Intel who had its Assembly Testing Lines abroad due to which it had to bear high freight costs too. Furthermore, the AT plants used less capital intensive and advanced technology than one used in production of chips. Intel was expanding its wafer by 100mm more that is from 200mm to a 300mm wafer to improve efficiency and allow more chips per wafer. This required the company to increase labor, as wafer manufacturing was a semi-labor intensive. And it needed the labor that was highly skilled...

...resource management department. It was part of a little-known but deliberate philosophy at Intel to grow and groom its own CEOs and leaders. In an era of corporate headhunters, celebrity CEOs, and management by “creative destruction,” succession at Intel, one of America’s most profitable manufacturers, is a rare model of discipline. The company plans orderly regime changes years in advance, without enervating gossip, infighting, or drama over the identity of the new boss. Otellini was scheduled to become the fifth homegrown CEO to run the company since its launch in 1968, which suggests that there’s an “Intel inside” aspect to its management formulas as well as its high-performance chips. The first two leaders, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, weren’t just founders but legends in their industry. The third was Grove— one of Intel’s original employees and considered one of the best executives of the 20th century. Former CEO Barrett, a renowned manufacturing guru, taught materials science at Stanford before joining Intel in 1974. The long lead times are a hallmark of Intel CEO transitions, mainly because the company’s board of directors insists on them. “We discuss executive changes 10...

...Capitalism: A Love Story includes all the above. Even those who count themselves hostile to Moore (and they are legion) would admit he has the courage to tackle big subjects. After railing against America’s gun laws, its healthcare system and the Iraq war, Moore now zeroes in on the capitalist system itself. It’s an unwieldy subject and, predictably, it’s a mixed bag: on the one hand, Moore effectively tells small-scale stories illustrating how the rich and powerful screw the little people, while also indulging in windy, sentimental generalising. Thus he offers poignant scenes of decent people having their homes re-possessed by banks (shockingly, we learn there’s a foreclosure on an American home every seven and a half seconds). He reveals the appalling details of the squalid “dead peasants” insurance scheme, under which large corporations receive sizeable insurance payouts whenever one of their employees dies. And he talks to airline pilots so badly paid that they qualify for food stamps. Yet Moore stumbles in analysing the big picture. He dutifully points his finger at his bad guys: Reagan, Dubya, Alan Greenspan, and, of course, Goldman Sachs and Wall Street. Yet it’s unclear what his remedy would be. He toys with the word “socialism” without quite endorsing it, settling instead for a more woolly option: “democracy”. He seems to forget that, like it or not (and many of us did not), it was a democratic process that saw Bush the younger re-elected as president in 2004...

...“Thumbprint Killer.” Being a wealthy, successful businessman recently honored by the Portland, Oregon, Chamber of Commerce as "Man of the Year" as well as a philanthropist no one has ever suspected him. Being unable to control his horrific addiction, Brooks gives in to his sadistic, all too real alter ego “Marshall” played by William Hurt. A pesky, voyeuristic witness “Mr. Smith,” played by Dane Cook catches him in the act of his latest crime. The rush that Mr. Smith felt after seeing Mr. Brooks brutally kill a couple he used to watch and take pictures of while engaging in sexual activities has set him on a path of destruction and he is taking all the wrong steps to get there. Then there’s the detective, “Tracy Atwood,” played by Demi Moore who has been on the case for quite some time without Mr. Brooks knowledge of it adds a few twists and turns to an already terrifying game of cat and mouse. The way the script has been written, is a “moral” one. You have a man, “Mr. Brooks” who is fighting multiple demons. One demon is his addiction to killing people. “Mr. Brooks” claims in the movie that “he doesn’t kill people because he enjoys killing them. He kills them because he’s addicted to it.” The viewer is able to see the conflict is Mr. Brooks struggle. The struggle is that Mr. Brooks is desperately trying to evolve into what he is not. Mr. Brooks repeats the “Serenity Prayer”...

...historians that were not present at the battle or were safely experiencing it from a safe remote command center far from the killing. "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young" is a historical biography written by retired Lieutenant General Hal Moore and UPI Reporter Joe Galloway that recalls the events of the first major battle of the Vietnam War. The battle took place in the Ia Drang Valley between November 14 and November 18, 1965 at two landing zones northwest of Plei Me in the central Highlands of South Vietnam (approximately 35 miles south-west of Pleiku). The battle derives its name from the Drang River which runs through the valley northwest of Plei Me, in which the engagement took place. "Ia" means "river" in the local Montagnard language. The battle was fought between the US 7'th Cavalry's newly established Air Mobile forces and a mixture of Viet-Cong guerilla's and highly trained North Vietnam Army troops. General Moore was a Lieutenant Colonel at the time of this battle and commanded the 1'st Battalion 7'th Cavalry forces. The opposition was lead by General Nguyen Huu An who commanded elements of the 304'th Division of the PAVN (People's Army Vietnam) and the Viet Cong. The battle is described in great detail by Lt. General Moore(Ret.) who wrote the book...

...Bowling is biased. No, the point is that Bowling is deliberately, seriously, and consistently deceptive.” David T. Hardy mean that Bowling for Columbine is deliberately and seriously but he also mean that the documentary differently are deceptive. To deceptive someone is to give someone the wrong perceptions by tricking them or give them false information. Hardy means Michael Moore differently give us wrong information. This argues Hardy by telling us that Michael Moore for example have changed in Heston’s statements. Michael Moore has taken audio of seven, from five different parts of the speech. Actually is one section giving in different speech. It is first after the weeping victims, Moore using the quoted “I have only five words for you…. Cold dead hands” David T. Hardy means Michael Moore use that statement it should seem directed to the victims. Another fact David T. Hardy uses is Michael Moore’s comparison with Ku Klux Klan and NRA. “This sequence is intended to create the impressions either hat NRA and the Klan were parallel groups or that when the Klan was outlawed its members formed NRA” Michael Moore says NRA is subsequent organisation of Ku Klux...
