Buono; in which their ruling had to coincide with the establishment clause in the first amendment, while avoiding the dissenting opinions of thousands of veterans and their families they threatened to insult with their decision. In 1934, the VFW commissioned a white cross to be constructed on an outcropping known as Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve. In 1999, the plaintiff, Frank Buono, requested for the NPS to tear down the cross on the grounds that it was in severe violation of the Establishment Clause. The ensuing mess and final ruling seemingly defined the distinction between governmental and religious separation, while also confirming Congress’s

With Bing Crosby, one of the biggest stars at the time, being by his side as a close friend and almost a brother to Paul, there was competition in Paul's eyes to become more famous than Bing Crosby. In what way could he achieve this goal than to create a new sound and instrument altogether. That’s when he started to work on his signature invention, the electric guitar. In his first prototype, he got a “4 x 4 piece of pine wood and formed it into a guitar gathering old parts from instruments” from around his studio. He then gave it the name “The Log”, and was able to first use it at a concert in a “nightclub, the whole audience was unimpressed with it”, but Les Paul was determined he could excite the crowd (The Electric Guitar). So the next night he put wings on his guitar and played it in the same way (The Electric Guitar). The crowd was astonished at how this new sound was entering their ears as if an angel was kissing the eardrums of each and every person in attendance. From that point on Les Paul came to the conclusion, “people hear with their eyes” (The Electric
The Guitar is a stringed musical instrument with six or twelve strings that is played by either plucking or strumming the strings. It is one of the most popular instruments in the world.

Deming Juran and Crosby considers measurement as very important to improve quality but they use it in different ways. For Juran and Crosby they view the cost of quality as a focus of measurement.

Success of the efforts of the quality will be ultimately measured by meeting customer requirements. Juran normally considers the cost of all the poor quality as a important factor because it shows how much they are losing. He also knows they are other factors which are important to measure such as how the organization compares with the competition and how customers perceive
Dr. W. Edward Deming is best known for reminding management that most problems are systemic and that it is management's responsibility to improve the systems so that workers (management and non-management) can do their jobs more effectively. Deming argued that higher quality leads to higher productivity, which, in turn, leads to long-term competitive strength. The theory is that improvements in quality lead to lower costs and higher productivity because they result in less rework, fewer mistakes, fewer delays, and better use of time and materials. With better quality and lower prices, a firm can achieve a greater market share and thus stay in business, providing more and more jobs.
