- ... It can get your attention continuously, if you want it to. Almost-always-observable, within reason the output medium is constantly perceptible by the wearer. It is CONTROLLABLE by the user. Responsive, you can grab control of it at any time you wish. Even in automated processes you can manually override to break open the control loop and become part of the loop at any time you want. An example of immediate control would be the ability to halt such common mistakes in applications today; One might highlight 50 documents and hits enter, the application spawns a process to open all 50 documents. Not actually what the ...
- 242: Birth Control Or Legal Murder
- ... cent during the years from1972 to 1990 while the number of abortions increased 11.7 per cent during those years (Factbot). Abortion should no longer be legal. It is rapidly becoming a form of birth control. No longer must women worry about protection, if they should conceive a child, they can choose to take its life. One-third of all babies (Planned Parenthood) are aborted, which entitles the abortion industry to ... of all abortions are done for the mother's health, where 40 percent of women who have abortions will have more than one, and 50 per cent use it as their sole means of birth control (Factbot). As for the argument that women will do them illegally in the back alleys endangering their lives, 72 per cent said they would definitely not have sought an abortion if they were illegal, and ... of this sanctuary. Should this biological right create a parallel between the human gestation period and a 1-month trial run. Whether not abortion is morally acceptable, it is in many cases replacing conventional birth control and postponing women's decisions as to whether they desire a child.

- 243: Total Quality Management
- ... Juran. Both developed TQM in Japan to revitalize their crumbling economy at the time prior to the end of World War II. Japan began to flourish when Dr. Deming and Dr. Juran introduced Statistical Quality Control (S.Q.C.) which was a concept of management using statistical theory. Some of TQM's concepts were evident early on in the “Penny Idea” of 1913 developed by J.C. Penny.

- ... organization and processing of data. These administrative controls are Division of duties. Duties are assigned to different individuals in the organization. This is done in such a way that no one person can have full control over a transaction. This ensures that an individual cannot have full control over the creation and operating of the system. One reason for this division is having one person controlling the system can result in fraud if that person is not completely trustworthy. Another reason for the ... need to use it. Certain levels of security must me maintained e.g. only the systems administrator can have access to the CPU and storage systems. The computer system must also be placed in a control environment to protect it from environmental hazards e.g. dust and humidity. Arrangements should be made to protect the computer against fires and power fluctuations. There should also be some controls in place to ...
- 245: TQM In An Accounting Environment
- ... following; Today's management accounting information which is driven by procedures, and the cycle of the organizations financial reporting system, is too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers' planning and control decisions. Kaplan also commented that the current systems used within accounting functions used to report cost and performance provide little motivation for companies to try and implement TQM, along with any other long term continuos ... the management decision making process and allows managers the ability to make more informed business decisions on a daily basis. Managers today need to accept that the person actually doing the work must have the control in the situation. The employees need to be empowered within an organization. This is a basic TQM principle. This philosophy is based on the premise that all employees contribute to fulfilling customer requirements, whether they be internal or external, and that everyone within the organization is part of a chain. In the following case study of Federal Express, you will be able to see how the control lies within the hands of the employees to make the operation function effectively. Too much emphasis has been placed on accounting measures that are used by senior managers to report data to shareholders. TQM ...

- ... and she narrowly escaped death with an adrenaline shot to the heart. The adrenaline shot was administered by Vega, however it was at the dealer's house, once again showing us that He has supreme control over us, for without the dealer, Mia would never have been in this situation, nor would she have made it out if it alive. Jumping back a bit, at the beginning of the date between ... scene, "Son of a Preacher Man" was playing in the background. This was seen as a strengthening sign, to demonstrate to us even further the likenesses of the Wallaces to God and their attempt to control others. At this point, the movie jumped ahead to another job that Vincent Vega must perform after he has completed his task of returning Wallace's soul to him. Vega was hiding out in Butch ... he planned on retiring after witnessing what he believes to be a miracle, or divine intervention, when in the apartment at the beginning of the movie, a boy appeared out of the bathroom, firing a gun five times directly at the two hitmen, but missing with all five shots. This shows us further that Vega is straying from loyalty and belief in God and his ways, and this is why ...
- 247: Floating Point Coprocessors
- ... 68000. This complexity is due to the IEEE floating point arithmetic standards rather than the nature of the FPC. The 68882 contains eight 80-bit floating point data registers, FP0 to FP7, one 32-bit control register, FPCR, and one 32-bit status register, FPSR. Because the FPC is memory mapped in CPU space, these registers are directly accessible to the programmer within the register space of the host MPU. In ... require an exception routine to be executed, so that the user is informed of the situation. These exceptions are stored and executed within the host MPU, which means that the FPC can be used to control loops and tests within user programs – further extending the functionality of the coprocessor. Intel Math Coprocessor 80387 DX In many respects, the Intel 80387 math coprocessor (MCP) is very similar to the MC 68882. Both ... the MCP can run asynchronously (higher clockspeed). Moreover, the three functional units of the MCP can work in parallel to increase system performance. The CPU can be transferring commands and data to the MCP bus control logic while the MCP floating unit is executing the current instruction. Similar to the 68882, the 80387 has a bit pattern (11011(2)) reserved to identify instructions intended for it. Also, the registers of ...

- ... denigrating independent, critical thinking, the group causes members to become extremely dependent on the group's compliance-oriented expressions of love and support. Dread. Once a state of dependency is firmly established, the group's control over members' thoughts, feelings, and behavior is strengthened by the members' growing dread of losing the group's psychological support (physical threat also occurs in some groups), however much it may aim at ensuring their compliance with leadership's often debilitating demands. Yes. Ordinary social conditioning differs from mind control in two important ways. First, parents, schools, churches, and other organizations do not as a rule utilize unethically manipulative techniques in socializing children, adolescents, and young adults. Second, social conditioning is a slow process which promotes and encourages an initially "unformed" child to become an autonomous adult with a unique identity. Mind control, on the other hand, uses unethically manipulative techniques of persuasion and control to induce dependency in a person with an established identity, which the manipulator seeks to alter radically without the informed consent of ...

- ... The Prison) Alcatraz Island was opened from 1934 to 1963. At that time it was the last stop in the federal penitentiary pipeline. It housed famous criminals such as Al “Scar face” Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and Robert Stroud, “The Birdman of Alcatraz” (American Automobile Association 81). The warden, James Johnston, turned it into such a brutal place that even the most hardened criminals started calling it “Hellcatraz”. That raises ... fort, work buildings, a lighthouse, and a mess hall. Some considered Alcatraz escape proof. A cyclone fence topped with barbed wire surrounded the entire structure. The cell house was three stories of reinforced concrete. Elevated gun galleries were built at each end of the cell house. Inmates were monitored constantly by guards on a central walkway surrounded by bars. All doors on the island were electronically operated and were designed to slam and let the inmate know the guards were in total control. Coming back from work inmates were checked eleven times and had to get through three metal detectors. Then in their cells they were counted up to thirty times a day (Stuller 87). Well-behaved ...
