...The story opens as a father discovers that his 9-year-old boy, Schatz, has a fever. The father sends for the doctor and he diagnoses a mild case of influenza. As long as the fever doesn’t go above 104 degrees, the doctor says, the boy will be fine, and he leaves three different types of medication for the father to administer with instructions for each. Schatz’s temperature is determined to be 102 degrees. When the doctor leaves, the father reads to Schatz from a book about pirates, but the boy is not paying attention and is staring fixedly at the foot of the bed. His father suggests he try to get some sleep, but Schatz says he would rather be awake. He also says that his father needn’t stay in the room with him if he is bothered. His father says he isn’t bothered, and after giving him his 11 o’clock dose of medication, the father goes outside. It is a wintry day with sleet frozen onto the countryside, and the father takes the family’s Irish setter out hunting along a frozen creek bed. Both man and dog fall more than once on the ice before they find a covey of quail and kill two. The father, pleased with his exploits, returns to the house. Upon returning home, he finds that Schatz has refused to let anyone into his room because he doesn’t want anyone else to catch the flu. The father enters anyway and finds the boy still staring at the foot of the bed. He takes Schatz’s temperature and finds it 102, as before. He tells Schatz his temperature is fine, and not to worry. Schatz...

...A DAYS WAIT A brief Analysis The fateful misunderstanding Obviously there is an invisible wall between father and his son. They talk about two different things, the father about the disease and the son about his death but they do not know that they misunderstand each other. This fateful misunderstanding appears in different scenes where the father and son talk about "it", meaning two different things. One example is when the father asks his son why he does not go to sleep. "You don´t have to stay in here with me, Papa, if it bothers you." The son is talking about his death but does not mention his fear. He must be shocked when the father answers "It doesn't bother me". Because the father does not know of the fear of his son there is no reason for him to explain that he won´t die. Instead he goes out to hunt. The boy must think that his father does not even care that he will die, but prefers going out to hunt. This fateful misunderstanding happens another time, again Hemingway uses the word "it" to describe two different things. Father: "It´s nothing to worry about." He means the fever. "Just take it easy." Since the son always thinks of death he assumes his father tells him to take dying easy so he answers: "I am taking it easy". The hunting scene In the story "A Day´s Wait" there is a story in a story. In this part of the story the father goes out to hunt for a while while his son is in bed thinking about death. In the passage there is a description of nature...

...The DMI, or Directional Movement Index, was developed to determine how much directional movement - or trend - is in a market. It is often combined with the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) study. The DMI is plotted as two lines. You can determine Bullish or Bearish trend direction by two directional indicator values - +DM and -DM. The calculation determines the relationship of the current close to the previous close. If the current close is higher, a greater value is placed on the +DM and a lower value on the -DM. This means in a strong trend, the lines will move in opposite directions, and in a correction or sideways move they will converge. There is also a calculation connected to a range, Average True Range, or DMIATR, so if a range begins to contract in a trend, the lines may also begin to converge as momentum slows. The formulas for determining DMI and ADX are not complex. You must first determine the Directional Movement - DM - for the current trading interval. After several more mathematical steps, a DM value between zero and 100 is determined. DMI can be used as both an entry and as an exit tool. As an exit tool, the chart shows the DMI and the DMI Difference, or DDIF. Although the DMI study does have a limit of scale, it is very rare for it to get near to those limits especially on the upside. Therefore, the DMI Diff can be used to gauge levels of Overbought and Oversold. When the difference is greater than 30, except in very strong trends, it indicates the...

...the issues that Mario is dealing with in his pizzeria is the wait time his customers are experiencing while waiting to be served. By reducing the wait time and creating an experience that the customers will enjoy, Mario believes that his business will grow. There are day’s that the wait time is too long, which in return is causing some customers to leave and go elsewhere. As of recently, Mario has decided for a period of two months that he will allow his grandson to make the necessary changes that are needed in order to maximize profits for the business. If Mario’s grandson proves to be an asset to the pizzeria and is able to create a system that is sustainable, Mario will then pass his business down to his grandson. One of the first deciding factors that Mario’s grandson must make is to identify problems or potential problems that can create a loss for the business. After a review of the pizzeria’s layout, it shows that there are 14 tables that sit four customers at a time, and two tables that sit two customers, which include a wait staff of four employees and two kitchen workers. In order for Mario’s grandson to reduce his customers wait time of nine minutes he must make the necessary changes to the pizzeria’s overall layout in order to seat more customers.

However, the wait staff of four employees, and two kitchen workers would remain...

Do not find fault with thy Maker; he does all things well for others, he will do all things well for thee. "And wait patiently for him " - wl llwjthw vehithcholel lo, and set thyself to expect him; and be determined to expect, or wait for him. Such is the import of a verb in the hithpoel conjugation. "A heathen gives good advice on a similar subject: " - Nil ergo optabunt homines? Si consilium vis, Permittes ipsis expendere Numinibus, quid Conveniat nobis, rebusque sit utile nostris. Nam pro jucundis aptissima quaeque dabunt Di. Carior est illis homo, quam sibi. Juv. Sat. x. 346. "What then remains? Are we deprived of will? Must we not wish, for fear of wishing ill? Receive my counsel, and securely move; Intrust thy pastime to the powers above. Leave them to manage for thee, and to grant What their unerring wisdom sees thee want. In goodness, as in greatness, they excel: Ah, that we loved ourselves but half so well!" DRYDEN.

...The company’s liquidity ratios (working capital ratios) show healthy working capital for the company operations, however the quick ratio indicates the most liquid current assets only meet $.41 for $1 dollar of debt. Cash is critical for any small business, and this ratio does indicate cash flow issues at Ajax. The inventory turnover also validates cash flow issue, Ajax turnover its inventory 1.5 times in 2002. In 1998, Ajax was growing and able to maintain a good TO ratio, since then and increasingly have worse inventory turnover results. The AR showed that it took about 95 days to get the cash after the sales. The company’s profit margin was not impressive at 5% (estimated 8K taxes resulting in 18K profit), and at historical peak of only 7%. The solvency ratios showed high long term debt, and the company’s assets only covered 38% of the liabilities. The company is not healthy in cash flow, finance and operations. To loan money to Ajax is risky, however there is potential for growth. Current Ratio Vs. Quick Ratio – AKA Acid-Test Ratio Ajax’s liquidity showed that it has the ability to pay short term debt obligations. The ratio reflects the ability to convert to cash and cover its debt within 12 normal business months. The current ratio in 2002 was the lowest ever, at 1.51, which implies that the company was able to obtain $1.51 cash from every $1 of debt. The company’s current ratio indicate a relatively liquid company, and banks like to see minimally the $1.50...

...and get rid of it. SAM: Fine. A quick check of the line reveals that there was a problem with the automatic control unit. Paul checks and finds that it would take four hours to replace the unit. “If you put in a new one,” the maintenance man tells him, “you won’t have a problem with it for at least sixteen months. It’s up to you. I’ll do whatever you tell me.” Paul tells the man to replace the automatic control unit. By late afternoon the new unit is installed and the line is operating at full speed. However, the next morning, after Sam receives the previous day’s production figures, he calls Paul in. “What happened in your section? I thought you were going to fix the problem.” “I did,” Paul tells him. “The automatic control unit was giving us trouble, so I replaced it.” Sam’s voice indicates that he is not happy with this decision. “You pulled the unit in the middle of a work-day? Why didn’t you wait until the shift was over and have the unit pulled then? You could have done preventive maintenance to get through the rest of the day. You gave up two hours of production time to replace a unit that could have waited for...

...in the military aviation department. Without effective communication our work would cause for injury and possibly death to aircrew. Every day we use different forms of communication. Email, phone, verbal, written, and even visual communication are the types we use. Every morning when I get to work the first thing I do is check my emails. I receive emails from my supervisors, engineers, and the night shift supervisor. My supervisors usually send emails in the morning explaining in brief detail what the morning meeting will be about and what the day’s work will be like as of then. The engineer’s emails usually consist of what type of testing will be done on the specific test article. The night shift supervisor’s email consists of how night shift went, work that was done, and a pass down on things that were not completed. We have a work cellphone on us at all times. Anytime something urgent comes up where it cannot wait for email or to find the person we use the cellphone. We usually use these when we are trying to fix and aircraft that’s trying to fly right at that moment. Verbal communication happens more so than any other type. We use verbal in all our meetings and out on the flight line and hanger floor. This is the best way to get a point across with clear understanding. Without this form of communication maintenance would get mixed up and cause serious injury or death. Visual communication is usually only used by crew members and ground crew when aircraft...

The Mesopotamian were inventors, the Sumerians were advanced with technological. One of the most important thing the Sumerians did was that they learned to build levees. This helped to control the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They now had a stable year-round water supply., making them wait no longer on the yearly floods. One of the other most important contributions was the first system of writing. Writing was developed so that records could be kept by the city-states....
