Lyrics:

Before you go
Do me a favour
Give me a number
Of a girl almost like you
With legs almost like you
I’m buried deep in Mass Production
You’re not nothing new
I like to drive along the freeways
See the smokestacks belching
Breasts turn brown
So warm and so brown

Though I try to die
You put me back on the line
Oh it to hell
Back on the line–hell
Back on the line
Again and again
I’m back on the line
Again and again
And I see my face here
And it’s there in the mirror
And it’s up in the air
And I’m down on the ground

By the way
I’m going for cigarettes
And since you’ve gotta go
Won’t you do me that favour
Won’t you give me that number
Won’t you get me that girl
Yeah, she’s almost like you
Yes, she’s almost like you
And I’m almost like him
Yes, I’m almost like him
Yes, I’m almost like him
Yeah, I’m almost like him

What are examples of the elements of Quality Control System and the activities of analytical testing?

Our company will be audited by European Medicines Agency this coming May. They asked, "What are the elements of our quality control system? What are the activities of analytical testing, packaging and component testing?" I have a hard time to understand the content of the questions. I was wondering they expect answers, such as calibration verification, and verification of method performance specifications for the first question, and evaluation of analytical methods for the second. If someone can give me some example, that would be a big help. Thanks.

Yes, you need help fast and this space does not contain enough room to answer everything that you need to get ready for – however, maybe I can get you started –

I am an IRCA QMS 2000 Lead Auditor and very much understand what is being ask!

First – reference materials that you should be aware of:

European Quality Award – http://www.efqm.org/
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award – http://www.quality.nist.gov/
ISO – Quality Management System (QMS) 9000 series – http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm
American Society for Quality (ASQ) – http://www.asq.org

The EFQM and Baldrige are quality awards – these look at the best of the best organizations.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards (which is similar to what you are going through) is set up on a base level that any company or organization should be able to meet.

Your goal should be to get somewhere between what the standards are asking for and the top-level quality awards. The probability is that your organization is already doing a lot of thing very good – also called customer satisfaction.

Now for the Quality Control system (also called a quality management system). The ISO 9000 series breaks this up into five categories: Quality Manual; Quality Management; Resource Management; Product Realization and the Measurement System. The auditors want to first see what type of a documented system you have to control the overall processes for the business that you are in.

So if you are making some kind of a widget, how has your organization planned to produce what is wanted by the customer, the steps that are gone through to actually make the widget including any product testing of supplier parts or actual components and how the widgets are packaged, shipped and delivered to the customer so that no damage is done to the widget. Once all that is done, how do you know that the customer likes what you sold to them?

Ideally, what you need is some form of documentation (keep is as simple as possible) using the outline of the ISO 9001:2008 below

4 Quality management system
4.1 General requirements
4.2 Documentation requirements
4.2.1 General

7.5.2 Validation of processes for production and service provision
7.5.3 Identification and traceability
7.5.4 Customer property
7.5.5 Preservation of product
7.6 Control of monitoring and measuring devices

8 Measurement, analysis and improvement
8.1 General
8.2 Monitoring and measurement
8.2.1 Customer satisfaction
8.2.2 Internal audit
8.2.3 Monitoring and measurement of processes
8.2.4 Monitoring and measurement of product
8.3 Control of nonconforming product
8.4 Analysis of data
8.5 Improvement
8.5.1 Continual improvement
8.5.2 Corrective action

Again, this is your starting point. The next thing will be to show the auditors how you are continually improving the companies system to do better!

What is currently the fastest and/or most powerful mass production motorcycle in the world?

What is the make and model of the worlds fastest Mass Production motorcycle?

The fastest (top speed) production bike is the MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K. it does 227 MPH. It is that fast because it does not have the 200 MPH cut off that Japanese bikes usually have.

The fastest production quarter mile bike is the ZX14(though expected to be beaten by this years Busa) with a 9.78 1/4 time.

the highest HP production bike is also the MTT Turbine Superbike with 320 HP.

The highest torque produced by a production bike is the, again, the MTT Turbine Superbike with 425 Ft/Lbs of torque.

We want to develop adaptive tracking filter for industrial robot.We have moving obhect and we have to catch?

moving object on the conveyor.Every scan we know position of moving object.Does somebody know algorithm for tracking?

I am guessing that you have an array of bits that are either 0/1 or some form of gray-scale (e.g. 4-bit) and that you have a time interval between scans. If that is so, then you merely need edge detection to identify the leading edge of the object and then pixel distance / time interval gives you speed. You can then project where the object will be in the next interval. Not sure if that’s what you meant. Hope that helps.

How much would a boob reduction cost?

I want to go from a DD to a C, how much would that cost in England?
I hate having big boobs, it is uncomfortable and attracts the wrong kind of attention… I want normal boobs!! I am slim so they stand out!!
Anyway!! I dont think there would be much need for an uplift, just the reduction of 2 cup sizes!
Any additonal information on breast reduction would be REALLY appreciated!!

Hey Lucy,

It depends where you get it done, the type of surgery, and a few other things… but think 4-6k. However more importantly, think carefully about the consequences!

Your figure would be considered by many people – male and female – to be perfect. (Damn you!) After a reduction you don’t end up with perfect perky C-cups – there is always scarring, there is a 50:50 chance you won’t be able to breast feed, there are other possible side effects like loss of sensation, and sometimes worse. The final look is never perfectly natural, and I fear you would go from having an exceptionally fab if not always convenient chest to one which might be more practical to live with, but which you may come to regret.

If you really want to go for it, just talk to your GP and ask them to suggest a surgeon you could meet with – there’s no problem in looking into these things. It’s your chest and your life so if it makes you happy, it can’t be wrong… but I just can’t help thinking you’re not excessively large at the moment and you have something many women pay thousands to try (and fail) to emulate… it seems a shame… sorry to be so guy-like! cost reduction Best of luck whatever you decide!
