Ryan Esterbrook, Sears’ Property Loss Manager was deposed. In brief, Mr. Esterbrook testified he was called to the scene of the occurrence within minutes and found Leonor Jaimes sitting on a display platform near the escalator. He spoke with Ms. Leonor’s son since she does not speak English and was told Leonor lost her balance and fell against one of the rails of the escalator when it came to a sudden stop as sparks and flames appeared from under the stairs. Mr. Esterbrook testified he observed the escalator was stopped, but he did not observe sparks or flames and he did not smell anything burning. He had the store’s Softline manager restart the escalator and directly after the stairs began to move, he heard two loud bangs. The Softline manager immediately turned the escalator off and Mr. Esterbrook never learned what was the source of the loud noises coming from the escalator. He reported the only other incidents he was aware of when the escalator stopped occurred when people kicked the sides thereby triggering the skirt switches. As you previously advised, the skirt switches are safety devices on the escalator that cause the stairs to glide to a stop when pressure is applied to the switches. Therefore, Mr. Esterbrook agreed the escalator performed as designed on those prior occassions and did not malfunction. Finally, Mr. Esterbrook had no knowledge of NEIS or its involvement in this case.

Bay Area Rapid Transit(BART) system provides residents in Bay Area with convenient and rapid transportation service among nine counties [1]. After the concept of BART was born in late 1940, the BART board of directors was created in 1957 which had 12 members and controlled the whole BART project. They entitled a consortium of 3 engineering companies Parsons, Brinkerhoff-Tudor-Bechtel (PBTB) to direct the construction of BART which began about 1963 [4]. BART system tried to apply many innovative technologies that had never been used in other commuter system, and one of them was the Automated Train Control (ATC) System, which was entitled to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation with a 26-million-dollar contract to design, install and tune the whole ATC system [3][4]. From 1969 to early 1971, three engineers whose work were related to different aspects of ATC expressed their concerns about the way the ATC system was being developed to their management. Holger Hjortsvang, a systems engineer, and Max Blankenze, a programmer analyst, criticized that the development of ATC was lack of supervision from Both BART board and PBTB. At the same time, Robert Bruder, an electrical engineer criticized the non-professional way the ATC system was designed and installed, and the unrealistic opening schedule [4]. After a long waiting without any significant response from their managers to their concerns, they decided to take actions and reported the issues directly to a BART board member with

These platforms are currently at a 50% installation rate as of March 2016, and Sonic expects to see the rest of its locations operating with these new systems by the end of 2017. Their point of sale system is different than others in the QSR industry in that it offers a more customized experience for customers, while also streamlining service and reducing waste (Murphy). This point of sale system also has the future potential to connect to customer’s mobile phones for further descriptions, while also featuring a touch screen for ease of access. This new technology will replace a system that is currently over 20 years old - Sonic may sometimes brand using their “retro” vibe, but antiquated systems set no one up for success (Kelso). This new technology is also said to drive their average check upwards by several points; Chairman, Chief Executive, and President, J. Clifford Hudson, reported not only a 2.2 percent increase in stores who had begun using this new technology, but also stated a whopping 33.8 percent rise in profits, for the same time period. This increase in profits can be related to the fact that the new POS system is not only beneficial for the customer, but also for the restaurant and employees - while minimizing waste, it also makes some things such as theft, miscommunication, and

For our Gemba project, we decided to analyze the order fulfillment procedure for Cup of Joe, a coffee shop located in the Lennox Town Center. In order to capture the establishment’s peak hours of business, we primarily visited during the hours of 9:00am-12:00pm. We focused our attention on orders for baked goods, coffee, and espresso drinks, as these products are the shop’s main source of revenue and reputation. On several separate mornings we were able to observe an average of 125 orders over three hours (a takt time of 1.44 minutes). In the evening, there were often less than a dozen orders every hour. Since every order is slightly different, we have described the average order and the steps in the process that are consistent in almost every situation. We have identified multiple areas for improvement, which are referenced in the sections entitled analysis and recommendations.

Adding in a coffee shop to The Home Depot mix could be a strength. In the early morning hours, the coffee shop could focus on the always-on-the-go contractors who need a quick cup of coffee and a hearty breakfast sandwich to keep them going until the early afternoon. This would cut down on stops for the contractors and the convenience of it would allow The Home Depot to charge a premium.

The Whiting Turner Company (WT) is the CMAR for the Tropicana escalators project and will start construction on May 11, 2016, and the project completion is scheduled to be by the Summer of 2018.

Lillian Hummel is the daughter of Eleanor Mingle. Just after 9 a.m. on August 6, 2014, Hummel saw her mother into the elevator on the twelfth floor of their apartment building. After a brief stop on the ninth floor, the elevator plummeted into the ground floor killing Mingle. Hummel then brought claim for negligent infliction of emotion distress (“NIED”) against Elite Elevator Company (“Elite”), which maintained the elevator. To recover for NIED, a party must [1] be closely related to the injury victim, [2] be present at the scene of the injury-producing event at the time it occurs, [3] be aware that it is causing injury to the victim and [4] as a result suffer emotional distress beyond that which would be anticipated in a disinterested witness. Thing v. La Chusa, 48 Cal.3d 645 (1989). This memorandum will address only the first three elements of the four elements set forth in Thing. Hummel will likely be able to establish that she was closely related to the victim, present at the scene, and aware that the incident contemporaneously injured her mother because she was reasonably certain that Mingle was on the elevator at the time of the crash.

The consequences of guilt in the Scarlet Letter are shown by how Dimmesdale, Chillingworth, and Hester react to their scenarios. Each one of the three main characters in the novel, The Scarlet Letter, has a side of guilt that they bring to the story, which holds consequences for each of them. Hester, the main character of the story, chooses to live with the consequences of her guilt which are to live with and raise the child that she bore after committing adultery; although the people wished to bear away the child from Hester’s custody, Hester refused to give up the child. to give her child up and fight for her child. The text states on page 103, “It had reached her ears, that there was a design on the part of some of the leading inhabitants, cherishing the more rigid order of principles in religion and government, to deprive her of her child.”

The Republican National Convention commenced in high apparatus in Cleveland, with everyone's eyes on the display and addresses from its full lineup of speakers. However, literary theft embarrassments aside, the four-day GOP crowning ceremony service for chosen one Donald Trump was likewise an activity in setting the Republican party's stage, an announcement of principles that lays out the essential convictions and arrangement recommendations of the GOP.

In the book “A Long Walk to Forever” there is much supporting evidence that it is a romance. Romances follow a specific structure: the cute stage, the circumstantial proximity, escalation of attraction, congruency, betrayal, crisis, union, and cota. The story seems to parallel this structure in most ways.

Interpretations of artworks have been widely valued among the art world for centuries. Arguments whether an artwork means one thing, multiple things, or nothing at all is a question that circles the art world, and cause art critics to disagree when interpreting a work. Nihilism, monism, pluralism, intentionalism, romanticism, anti-intentionalsim, and post-structuralism all contain philosopher’s theories that can give art viewers the key to giving meaning to a creation. I prefer the views of pluralism, and post-structuralism when looking for the answer of how to interpret an artwork such as J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series as with most fictional books. Pluralism does not contain one completely right answer, but can disregard certain
