The Hot Fresh Fries Vending machine provides convenience for consumers as people can easily access to hot chips.

...document will answer the following questions about ASM management, database segments, relationships, problems associated with Row Chaining and Migration, and threshold values. Also, included will be screenshots of the extent map in OEM and Segment Advisor Information. Lastly, SQL statements will be executed to enable row management, shrink space, and resumable space allocation. 1. Automatic Storage Management (ASM) provides vertical integration of the file system on the database and the volume manager, which is specifically built for the database files. ASM can also provide management for single SMP machines, or access multiple nodes of a cluster for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) support. There are many benefits to leaving this to OEM to manage your storage. They are the following * Integrated mirroring * Data is automatically load balanced * Database files are managed without human interaction 2. Database segments are managed in a few different ways, one way is with LMT. LMT is implemented by adding the extent management local clause to the tablespace definition syntax. Oracle has the ability to move information out of the data dictionary tablespace and stores it directly within the tablespace itself. In s dictionary managed tablespace DMT, the data dictionary stores the free space details. While the free blocks list is managed in the segment of each table that is inside the tablespace. 3. ASM manages segments by providing file layout information...

...Nitrate and Nitrite Reduction Test Protocols HISTORY Current tests for nitrate and nitrite reduction are based on the Griess diazotization reaction described in 1858 by Peter Griess. Griess was raised on a farm in Prussia and was the son of a blacksmith, but “…tilling the soil was little to his liking, and on more than one occasion his father found him in a corner of the field, deep in a book, seated on the plough.” (25) In his early attempts at higher education, he was far from a model student, spending time in the institution’s prison and eventually expelled for a year. Finally, in his 6th year at university he began to seriously study chemistry. He obtained employment in the coal-tar distillery where the senior chemists discovered and developed the aniline dye industry. Even though the distillery was soon destroyed by fire, Griess had become obsessed with the chemistry of dye making. He was recommended for a position at the Royal College of Chemistry in Great Britain on the very day that his first article on possible diazo compounds appeared in print: “A Preliminary Notice on the Influence of Nitrous Acid on Aminonitro- and Aminodinitrophenol.” Griess’ first several attempts at diazotization exploded, but his commission at the Royal College was to investigate his new nitrogen intermediates, with the result that diazobenzoic acid was isolated and an entirely new class of compounds was discovered.(18, 25) Because many of these compounds were found to be stable and could be used...

...Business Research as it Applies to Retail Business research is vital to retail business. Being an assistant store manager for Lowe’s Home Improvement means more than just managing people. Assistant store manager’s (ASMs) are responsible for increasing sales, merchandising and marketing of product, managing processes, and managing people. ASMs are also responsible for ensuring that we consistently and efficiently reduce payroll expenses while still creating a seamless and high-performance customer service atmosphere. In order to achieve all of these responsibilities and expectations, ASMs must practice business research processes and use business research to make informed decisions that are best for the company. Business research can be defined by nine steps. The first step is the purpose of the research must be defined clearly. Defining the purpose will help decipher what the actual reason is without any biased information present. Secondly, the research process must be detailed. The researcher should describe exactly what the purpose of the research is, what the researcher will look at, and what the desired outcome will be. Thirdly, once the research process is detailed, the researcher will then want to thoroughly plan the details of how he will perform the research and also how he will store the findings. Fourth, high ethical standards should be applied. Fifth, limitations should be openly revealed. A question to ask during this step is how do the actual outcomes...

... so that for each airplane has to wait over 17 hours for all passengers to pass through and boarding. As a result, it is necessary for the US government to reissue the airport security. Although the Airport Security Measures ( ASM ) seem to succeed to avoid terrorists, it has only deal with many passengers complaints. In order for the ASM to be more accepted they have to pay serious attention to passengers’ privacy, time consumption and stop waste of money. First of all, paying attention to passengers’ privacy will help airport security to be more accepted. According to Los Angeles TImes ( 2010 ), A Pepperdine university student and member of wemontfly.com argued that “ The government hasn’t done a good job educating people on these scanners and what their other options are” ( para. 5 ). Therefore, the government should have trained the security officers to be professional before the new policy began which may help the security system work better. The Transportation Security Association ( TSA ) should make a public statement about standard operating procedure ( SOP ) for security officers and passengers to be prepared, understood, and follow the rules. Furthermore, not only troubles but also misunderstood could be avoid by using the SOP. The ASM are not only full-body scanner but also pat-down policy which is directly touching passengers’ body. As a result, the security should have made a statement to passengers of what they are going to check during pat-down in terms of...

...Functions of Management Roxanne Abernathy, Kristina Geromichalos, Synamon Brown, Brian Sanders MGT/312 May 12, 2015 Steve Rosales Functions of Management Old Navy is an umbrella company under Gap Inc. Direct. Old Navy is a typical retail store, with a management structure that is common in retail. Every store has a manager to lead the store's function. However, no store manager could be in the store 24 hours a day, schedule employees, stock the floor with merchandise and handle customer issues. To help the manager control all of the necessary operations Old Navy has a store manager and two to three assistants who each have different responsibilities. The store manager’s main goal is to keep the flow of the company in order. In order for order to be maintained there has to be a system that allows other people to step up and help with management functions. Four Functions of Management "Customers do not want to be merely "satisfied." They want the feeling that the organization considers their business to be important, essential, and vital to its operation" (Jones, 2000, para. 3). It is essential for managers to keep this thought in their mind when they are establishing their four functions. Planning, organizing, leading, and controlling are four fundamental keys to creating a successful team. The most proactive yet difficult approach when establishing goals for a team of employees is planning. By setting goals and planning resources, the manager...

...State University, 315 Walker Building, University Park, PA 16802-5011, USA a r t i c l e in f o Article history: Received 7 February 2008 Received in revised form 3 May 2008 Accepted 4 May 2008 JEL classification: L72 Q32 Keywords: Artisanal and small-scale mining Recognition Flourishing Alternative livelihoods Ghana a b s t r a c t Much of the discourse and literature on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in sub-Saharan Africa has inherently prescriptive recommendations on how the sector should develop. Devaluation, misrecognition, and criminalization of artisanal, largely illegal miners hamper their participation not only in environmental and political decision-making but also in negotiating potential alternative livelihoods. This article addresses the following three questions: (a) what are the pull and push factors in Ghana’s artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector?; (b) what concrete livelihood options exist for unregistered miners when regularization is impeded and undermined?; and (c) in the absence of promising alternative livelihoods, how can the ASM sector be re-imagined to allow poor men and women miners to flourish as recognized and valued members of their society? The findings suggest that as long as currently illegal miners have some expectation that they will legitimately acquire even small parcels of land for gold extraction, they are very unlikely to commit to any of the fashionable, yet shortlived alternative livelihood options that are introduced...

...Best Buy- Circuit City Case-17% 1. Be an informed consumer evaluate where the replacement of highly paid workers with lower paid worker did or did not cause Circuit city to perform so poorly. How confident are you in your evaluation? Why? In evaluating whether or not the replacement of highly paid workers with lower –paid worker at Circuit City caused them to perform poorly I found several factors that lead me to believe this to be true. Circuit City started off being the number one retailer of electronics. It was faced with competition from Best Buy and other large retailers such as Wal-Mart. Circuit City was forced with making changes within the company to keep their position within the market that they didn’t take. In 2003 Circuit city announced the layoff of 3900 workers, following this announcement opening stock price from 2001 to 2003 declined significantly. Also, in 2007 Circuit City fired 3,400 of the highest paid store employees at that same time their customer satisfaction index declined. Circuit City’s compensation strategy was in direct correlation to the business tactic, it rewarded its knowledgeable top performers. Circuit City never considered that by eliminating top earning sales people for less experienced sales people that it would have an indirect effect on the company as a whole. No longer to do they employ skilled and knowledgeable professionals whom customers relied on. Ultimately, managing total compensation strategically means fitting the compensation...
