... basis. When it really counts is when the customer has to wait for a product or service that is ready, paid for, in transit or possibly even right in front of their face. Though waiting is a very important part of internal operations, the focus of my paper and research was geared towards the average "Joe Q. Customer." More specifically, any in person transaction rather than the waiting commonly associated with waiting for a back order or something to get shipped out. Mostly having to do with randomly arriving customers. Waiting lines are of particular importance to these types of industries for one main reason. Waiting as the book points out is not seen as a " ...

... dishes are put away after the meal by everyone; dish duty is passed along each night. The tray is simply handed over to pairs of hands waiting to clean the dishes at college. Nutrition is a factor at home, and Mom creates meals with that in mind. A new food group sprang to life upon entering a residence hall: Mountain Dew, Doritos, Ben & Jerry's, Ho-Ho! 's, Oreos, the list could go on and on. Privacy is always available at home; there is somewhere to read, write, listen to music, or to just rest. Dorm life is a harsh reality to college, and the only time the room is empty is on a Thursday night. At home a bedroom is somewhere to keep all personal belongings; there i ...

... in Spanish, the top-ranked newspapers publish a separate Spanish edition, and many top civic leaders speak fluent Spanish (Anderson 1). According to a 1995 survey of businesses in Miami and surrounding Dade County, more than half did at least 25% of their work in Spanish. Also, 95% of those surveyed businesses agreed that bilingualism has great importance in the work force (Anderson 3). Not only will our system help our children to get jobs; it will also help them to make more money. A geographer from University of Miami did a study and found that the Dade County Hispanic inhabitants who know English and Spanish earn more than those who know only English do. ...

... graphics card, sound card, and modem. They act like the voice, the eyes and the mouth of a human. You can tell the difference between them by how they connect in the back of the computer. The graphics card has a prong plug in, the sound card has a place where speaker plugs can go and modems have a place where you can put your phone line. Next to the left of the cards we see there is a little chip with a fan on top, this is the processor. The processor acts like the heart of a human sending blood all over the body, but instead of blood the processor sends electrical signals. Straight above the processor in the little slot is the hard drive. The hard drive acts k ...

... at most computer stores and some department stores. As the first step, make a list of the songs desired in the order of playback. Include for each audio track the name of the album, the number of the audio track, and the duration time for the song. Keeping track of the duration time for each song will help stay within the 74 minute limit imposed by recordable CDs. In the next step, create a layout for the recording within the mastering software. Creating the layout of the CD simply tells the computer in what order to place the audio tracks (songs), the duration of each track, and the total duration of tracks. Start the mastering software according to the ...

... corruption. I have always questioned, as I am sure we all have, how, if there is a God, he could allow such terrible things to occur as they do in today's world: The starving in Third World Countries, the destructiveness of war, and especially the anguish of losing a loved one. In the Bible, a book meant to be the word of God, condemns such things as murder, adultery and theft. I find it hard to believe that an all-powerful, all-knowing, infinitely-good being that “created” this world and everything in it would allow any of these things to occur. He would not only condemn them in an ancient book, but abolish them altogether along with any other things evil. If ...

The majority of pages on the site have a Visa banner going across the top. The advertising is very minimal and no where near overwhelming as some sites tend to be.

... moral worth. Stipulations of the categorical imperative are that all actions should act only on the maxim, that actions have moral worth, and the end is necessary. From these stipulations, it can be derived that the categorical imperative should be followed in order to live morally. “If an action is conceived as good in itself and consequently as being necessarily the principle of a will which of itself conforms to reason, then it is categorical.” (Abbott, 32) “There is therefore but one categorical imperative, namely, this: Act only on that maxim whereby thou canst at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” (Abbott, 38) The categorical impe ...

... that the youth of America were offered the same curriculum in the hopes to form a united, equal society. America, as seen by the French, was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive. It safeguarded our standing in the world. Mike Rose’s school offered quite the opposite. It was a haven for long standing views on school being selective as to whom actually deserved the education. The only hope of the present school system is a few dedicated professionals. They could see the errors of the future and grasp to what made the system work in the past. Focusing on actual k ...
