...ECHO command has several different uses. MS DOS batch files use two echo 'modes'. The default echo mode is ECHO ON. When ECHO is set to ON, every command in the batch file is displayed to the screen before it is run. Sometimes this information is not required, and can even be downright annoying for larger batch files. The command ECHO OFF sets the batch echo mode to OFF. In this mode, the commands are not printed to the screen prior to their execution. As well as the echo modes, the ECHO command is used to print a message to the user. Messages are displayed to the user by preceding a line of text with ECHO. | Syntax | ECHO MODE ON : ECHO ON ECHO MODE OFF : ECHO OFF DISPLAY A MESSAGE : ECHO message | Typical Use | The command @ECHO OFF is almost always placed at the top of a batch file to switch off subsequent command echo. ECHO is also the only way a batch file can communicate information to a user. | Example | @ECHO OFF ECHO Please insert a disk in drive A: and press any key when ready. | Command | REM (short for remark) | Description | REM is the MS DOS batch file method of providing comments. Comments are lines of code which are not executed by the batch file, but rather are used to convey information about the workings of the batch file itself. Good batch file programming practice demands a comment at the head of every batch file explaining its use and syntax. Comments can also be put in other parts of the file to clarify ambiguous commands and to 'comment-out'...

...many performance indicators for the success of a business. This include brand identity, reputation, innovation, leadership, productivity, process management, customer satisfaction, and quality to name a few. Management at Benihana can achieve maximum profitability by maximizing utilization, throughput time, making use of batching, designing of the bar and catering to the optimum number of customers. By varying the hours of operation and carefully balancing operation costs, they can meet customers’ demands and yet maximize overall profit. Batching The first decision to see if the restaurant is served with no-batching policy, will it be a better strategy. Running tests against both scenarios (batch and no-batch), it shows that Benihana is already doing well by staying with the batch policy. Using batching, Benihana improves the average utilization of the dining room capacity from 45% to 57%. They can serve a 275 dinners using less tables (35) compared with no batching which only could have catered to only 204 dinners using more tables (46). With less tables to serve the costs of serving drinks and dinner is substantially lowered, driving down total costs. Higher revenue (from extra sales) and lower costs increases profits. Bar-restaurant design The bar concept in Benihana is a good model because not only it allows customers a place to hang out while waiting for their table to be ready for seating, it also serves as an extra source of revenue. In fact, the revenue...

Why has the NCAA not banned the use of metal bats? : * First and foremost make sure to apologize for their unfortunate experience and assure them that changes have been made to protect the safety of the players involved. * Explain in detail the efforts made by the BBCOR to ensure the approval of only certain bats that meet its requirements. * Ensure the writer that each and every bat that is available for use in the league that it will be stamped with a NCAA certification mark. * http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/BBCOR%20Protocol-Effective%201.1.14.pdf Outside research and lack of change/action taken by the NCAA to change regulations: * Start out by acknowledging their effort to write a letter to us and tell them that we are always looking for ways to better the safety efforts and standards for the players. * The writer’s information may be outdated, because the BBCOR regulations of 2014 have made a significant change in the “trampoline effect” and are much safer than they were in prior years. * Each and every bat must be approved and the facts can be checked at our website as well as the following link to show that changes have indeed been made and we are continuing to do so… * http://phys.org/news/2012-02-aluminum-baseball-game...

...Batch Files: What is it and its harm Devry University The early business computers systems developed in the 1950’s showed how efficient they were by processing large group of records. They did all of this in batches. In the 1960s, computer engineers introduced interactive terminals. This would allow users to input for the very first time. Now today, even with use of laptops, home computers, and mobile devices. Most of the business and organizations still use some type of batch file processing for most of their applications. A batch file is a collection of commands that are processed in a certain order sometimes requiring the user to input information. With a computer using an operating system like Windows. A batch file is stored in a .bat file extension format. Most other operating systems may determine a batch file in a command file, using two or more commands that are processed one right after another. Just to perform the task at hand. Batch files are normally used to load programs, run different task at one time, and to perform repetitive tasks. An example of a batch file could be to back up files from different computers to a storage device or run the diagnostics on a system or process some type of log files. Batch files can start working at any time and can be left completely alone until the process is finished. The one of the main advantages to using batch files is the accessibility. A person can make the file entry themselves and...

...My name is Hunter Powell and my Science Fair Project is to determine which type of baseball bat is best. Aluminum or wood? In my personal opinion aluminum is best because they are lighter and easier to swing. Aluminum bats are lighter therefore you can swing it faster than a wood bat. It also has a wider sweet spot so the ball come off the bat faster. An aluminum bat may or may not hit further – depending on the batter, but the batter will have more control of the bat because it is lighter. Wooden bats are heavier so they have less recoil. A wooden bat moving at the same speed of an aluminum bat will hit harder. If the batter can get the bat moving fast the ball will go further, that’s if he makes contact. Wooden bats also do not vibrate as much which is better for the batters hands. When the NCAA approved the use of aluminum bats in 1974 they started to compare statistics. They found that the team batting averages went up about twenty points, and home runs doubled. The main reason wooden bats are required in the pros is because of this performance difference. “Pro leagues want to protect their historical records, and they want the performance of the game to be the result of human ability, rather than the technology of the bats,” says George Manning. The bottom line is that non-wood bats do lead to higher batted ball speeds and this means harder line drives and deeper fly balls. They are much easier to swing and because it is lighter you have better control of the...

...Wood bats are safer for high school and college; however metal bats have better performance. With the ball speed off of the bat as the big safety issue for high school and college, wood bats have a slower speed than metal bats do. With every solution there is a problem to the solution; wood bats do not produce like metal bats do. The game play is different with each bat. The changes that the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the NCAA make for bats for play will have an effect for upcoming students. In High school and college the players get to use metal bats instead of wood. The performance of metal bats is a lot higher than wood. That is why college and high school use metal instead of wood bats. Metal bats have a higher ball speed off the bat, which is the safety issue that the NCAA and the NFHS have right now. There is a new standard for baseball bats which took effect in 2011 which is the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) bats. They have almost the same ball speed off of the bat as a wood bat does, but the metal bat has a bigger sweet spot. A sweet spot is the part of the bat that will give the biggest trampoline effect to the baseball. Metal bats have made scoring runs in high school and college a lot easier than wood bats. The BBCOR bats have had a slight decline in runs and hits unlike the Ball Exit Speed Ratio (BESR) bats. The change from BESR bats to BBCOR happened in 2011. BESR bats had to high of a ball exit speed off of...

We have organized it by: the complaints, responses, and sources to where we have found our information. Arguments in the letter | Potential responses | Research backing the responses | How could you risk my son's life by not changing the standards for bats immediately when your tests showed that a player cannot react quickly enough to avoid a ball batted by one of these high tech bats? The NCAA should be ashamed. I am writing my congressman. | The NCAA has already attempted to change the standards a year ago, but ultimately the company would be sued by one of our top manufacturers (Easton), which directed the company to limit the performance of all composite bats. Also, the miles per hour from an average hit off of a composite bat are 93.3mph whereas for a wooden bat, the power of the bat generates an average of 86.1mph. Although this statistic was provided by Brown University and was set forth over a decade ago, the standards have been drastically been shaped to allow for much safer composite bats than in previous years. | | What are the results of your research in the area of bat technology?I saw a show on Fox Sports Net in the Spring that made some claims that not only are batted balls faster than ever...

...Batch processing takes similar transactions and groups them to process them all together. The benefit of that is that all of the group files are updated at the same time, but on the other hand, those same files will soon be out of date and remain un-updated until the next group updated, creating a time lag (Chaffey, 2004). The time lag occurs between the time of the actual event and when it is recorded and imputed into the system. For example, batch processing is often used with pay-roll systems because the information only needs to be updated at the set intervals of the pay cycles, and does not need to be opened up other than that time. Real-time systems are a little bit different, because they do not process information together in groups but they process transaction as they occurs, keeping files updated constantly, eliminating the time lag. Real time systems are used when information may need to be accessed and updated at any given time (Chaffey, 2004). For example, a sales order processing system would work better with real-time processing. This would enable information to be accessed at any given time, allowing customer’s questions to be answered immediately, and not have to wait until the next time the information is updated for an accurate answer (Chaffey, 2004). Resource use is one characteristic used to distinguish between batch and real-time systems. Batch processing is usually preferred when looking at it from this aspect because it requires the use of fewer resources...
