Getting feedback from your customers.  I never get asked what did I think of the meal?  Did the food suck?  Did the service suck?  What could be done to improve my dining experience?  Will I come back again?  Walk around and talk to your guest sometimes or, if you feel that's too intrusive, have a suggestion box.  I think a lot of restaurant owners/managers haven't a clue what their customers think and constantly scratch their heads as to why business is so slow or why the restaurant across the street has a line out the door.Train your staff.  Hey, what goes in your chicken masala?  How does it taste?  How is it prepared?  These are basic questions that often get met with blank stares.  The wait staff should have eaten every item on your menu and been trained to field these basic questions.  If your staff responds with, "I haven't got a clue," what are your customers thinking about your establishment or how can they make informed choice about their selection?How long are your customers waiting?  Take some samples throughout the day.  That means measuring how much time has transpired from the time an order is placed to when that plate was delivered.  It's simple math.  If the average delivery times are slow, you have a problem with your kitchen that needs to be addressed and fixed.  Don't rely on your customers' infinite patience -- there is no such thing.  Bad service means lost revenue.  Not only will your customers not return, but they'll tell everyone they know not to eat at your restaurant.Is your menu too big?  If your wait staff is struggling to take order because customers take 20 minutes to read your menu, you're losing money turning tables.  Keep It Simple Simon.Bringing customers in.  Aside from the big restaurant chains who are experts at marketing, I find a lot of mom and pop restaurants haven't the slightest clue how to bring customers into their restaurant.  You could have the best food in town with the best staff, but what is the use if nobody knows about you?  Don't rely on those factors alone to drive traffic.  Use social media, radio, printed publications, flyers, coupons, give out samples in high traffic areas and fill those empty seats.Loss leaders.  It takes money to make money.  Offer rotating discounted specials on your menu to attract customers.  Don't worry, they'll likely order other full-priced items.  Lower margin is better than no margin.  Offer something extra (maybe a special appetizer or free drink) on your slowest night/day. Be creative and do what it takes to fill those empty seats.Do something memorable (you know, so they'll 'remember' you).  I can't you how delighted I am to receive an unexpected treat.  I think highly of restaurants who go out of their way to make my dining experience pleasurable.  Whip up a bunch of easy-to-make, low-cost, bite-sized appetizers and pass them out to your guests.  "Enjoy.  Compliments of the chef."  Do what the other guys are not doing and you'll set yourself apart from the rest of the pack.  Everybody will silently be saying "They guys are cool."  I'm not even in the restaurant industry but it boggles my mind how often these common-sense ideas don't get implemented.Hope this helps.

Fossils and absolute age dates of rocks help us to place rock strata in the order in which they were deposited. This gives us information about what kinds of geologic environments existed at a place through time. A common vertical sequence starts with deep sea sediments at the base, with nearshore marine on top of that, followed by beach sediments, and then coastal plain sediments. Sometimes we see river sediments crossing the coastal plain sediments, and if we follow those sands upstream we find the mountains from which the sands were eroded.If we take all the rocks of the same age and plot them on a map, we can produce paleogeographic reconstructions. The following reconstruction is the western United States 310 million years ago. Much of the region was shallow ocean in which limestones made of seashells were deposited. Geologists use maps like this to prospect for hydrocarbons and minerals…and they work!

Meaning-Fish out of water means a person who is out of place. It generally means that the person is not fit for the place or the job which is given to him. In the context which is given in the question the correct answer will be option (c)-A boy out of town is like a fish out of water in a village.

Let us concentrate on a method that will most likely be left out.One valid proof technique in formal logic is the so called method of truth table construction. For a gentle introduction that method may be a good candidate to start with (and to wet your appetite).The idea of this particular method is the following:take the something that must be proven and decompose it into basic or atomic sub statements whose logical value can be readily established (or evaluated or computed)construct a table with one column per (independent) sentential variable plus one column per each atomic sub statementcombinatorial bit - generate all the possible True/False permutations across all the sentential variablesfor each such permutation compute the logical value of each atomic sub statement (in a row)using the above intermediate logical values compute the logical value of the overall statement or statements (as the case may be)Sample proof.Objective: prove that [math]\text{p AND (q AND r)}[/math] is the same as [math]\text{(p AND q) AND r}[/math](the above is known as the associative law)Proof.Step 1: identify all the independent sentential variables.Here they are: [math]p[/math], [math]q[/math], [math]r[/math].Step 2: identity the basic or atomic sub statements whose logical values can be readily computed.Here it looks like we only have to deal with an [math]\text{AND}[/math].Step3: compute the number of columns in our truth table.Here we shall have [math]3[/math] columns for the sentential variables, one column for the intermediate result [math]\text{(q AND r)}[/math], one column for [math]\text{p AND (q AND r)}[/math], one column for the intermediate [math]\text{(p AND q)}[/math] and one column for [math]\text{(p AND q) AND r)}[/math]. So [math]7[/math] columns total.Note the somewhat recursive nature of the expression [math]\text{p AND (q AND r)}[/math] - it may be rewritten as [math]\text{p AND s}[/math]:where the logical value of [math]s[/math] comes from the atomic sub statement [math]\text{(q AND r)}[/math] whose value we will keep track of in a dedicated column.Step 4: the combinatorial bit. Compute (or at least estimate) the number of rows in the truth table.In this case we have [math]3[/math] variables each of which can take on [math]2[/math] distinct values independently of each other. Thus, our table will have[math]2^3 \tag*{}[/math]rows.Think - one bit of information can only be in the True or False state, that is logically [math]0[/math] or [math]1[/math], and we have [math]3[/math] such bits. How many distinct numbers can we capture that way? Well, [math]2^3[/math]: two choices for the first bit times two choices for the second bit times two choices for the third bit.Step 5: generate a basic table with the inputs pre-filled:Step 6: go to mechanical work - start filling out the columns in the truth table.At this point the value of the previous decomposition of a complex or a compound statement into atomic sub pieces should become evident.If [math]q[/math] and [math]r[/math] are both True then we put the [math]T[/math] in the first blank column number four - that much we can readily do.Move on to the next row - if [math]q[/math] is True but [math]r[/math] is False then in the next row of the column four we write down the [math]F[/math].And so on until the entire column has been filled out:Step 7: move rightward on to the next column (number five).When evaluating the logical value of [math]\text{p AND (q AND r)}[/math] take the value of [math]p[/math] from the leftmost (first) column, which will be the [math]T[/math] for the first row, and take the value of [math]\text{(q AND r)}[/math] from the same row of the column number four - the one that we have just finished filling out. For the first row that value is [math]T[/math] (see the highlighted values in the table below).Repeat for each row until all rows are done:Step 8: fill out the column number six in the same fashion, step by step, row by row:Step 9: fill out the column number seven in the same fashion, step by step, row by row:Step 10: demonstrate that the logical values of the statements in question for all the rows match exactly for each corresponding like input. In the above truth table we see exactly how each intermediate logical value came into existence and how the final result was obtained. We also see that the values of the two columns highlighted in solid gray match row-for-row and input-for-input.We thus conclude that the two statements in question are in fact logically equivalent.[math]\blacksquare[/math]Rejoice.You just officially proved something.But be realistic. The process described above is quite mechanical - it does not require much inventive intellectual effort. The texture of most mathematical proofs is way different as these proofs require way more ingenuity and this is mildly put.(you may, at his point, take a crash course on the rudiments of proofs from this Quora answer)Extra for experts.When we said that the described process is quite mechanical we were not wasting our breath. It turns out that the Boolean strings that we have looked at are Turing Machine-computable: with a slight modification* it is possible to write, say, a C program that implements the Shunting Yard algorithm, due to Dijkstra (a theoretical physicist by training), which is capable of evaluating an arbitrarily parenthesised string of finite length whose composition is not known until run-time.*In this GitHub repository I have implemented (in Java) a Slow Motion Player which allows a person to witness exactly how the Shunting Yard algorithm weaves its magic - one step at a time on user-generated demand (here is a screen shot):*In this GitHub repository you will find the implementation (in Java also) of a simple arithmetic expressions calculator, based on the Shunting Yard algorithm.*And in this GitHub repository you will find the implementation (in Java again) of a Boolean expressions calculator, based on the Shunting Yard algorithm. A silly GUI driver is here.The point being is - do learn the truth table construction approach but then move on to something that requires human ingenuity, something that a Turing Machine can not do (errr … yet).

Let us take the CFA L1 exam as an example:There are 240 three-choice questions (33% probability of a correct answer for each question).Assuming a passing score of 70%, we need to get at least 240 * 70% = 168 correct answers to succeed.If we pick all Cs (in the case of a 3-choice MCQ) we can expect a score of 33%*240 = 80 but we are sure to fail (assuming correct choices of As, Bs and Cs are equally distributed), while if we choose randomly, our expected score should also be 80 but our range of results will go from 0 to 240, so we should go for this option. For each chosen number of correct answers we have a binomial distribution with a mean of np = 240 * 33% = 80 and a standard deviation of [np(1-p)]^0.5 = 7.3. Therefore, the minimum threshold of 168 is about 12 σ away from the mean which means chances of succeeding by randomly picking As, Bs or Cs are infinitesimal. a) The probability of 168 correct answers in whatever order out of 240 questions is 240! * (1/168!) * [1/(240-168)!] * (33%^168) * [(1-33%)^(240-168)].We must also account for 169 correct answers, 170, 171... until 240, and sum all those amounts.b) We can also use the Excel BINOMDIST function and calculate 1 - BINOMDIST(167, 240, 1/3, TRUE) to find the cumulative probability from 168 to 240 correct answers. We find a very small figure of order E-15 (which happens to be negative, should be positive, probably Excel cannot handle such a small figure).This is the probability to succeed in passing the CFA L1 exam by randomly choosing between As, Bs or Cs.As a conclusion, we have the choice between picking all Cs (0% success rate) and picking randomly between As, Bs and Cs (infinitesimal success rate, but infinitely better than 0%).The smart choice is the second one, and the real smart choice is to study for the exam.

I can't imagine why they gave you a blank form. There's no reason to give you a W-2C at all, except as a copy of what they've given to the IRS. Are they saying that they filed the blank W-2C with the IRS?That's actually how you cancel a W-2 that shouldn't have been filed in the first place — you file a "corrected" return leaving the numbers blank. Could that be what they're doing? If so, it seems a little silly if your original just needed one or two items corrected.Anyway, if you mean should you fill in info and attach it to your return, that accomplished absolutely nothing (other than making your return fraudulent). As I said, your copy of the W-2 is just that — a copy — and what needs to be corrected is the original. (or in this case, it seems the state "original")If the employer for some reason is asking you to fill in the correct info and send it back to him, because he doesn't have the info, go ahead. At least he's trying to do the right thing.

Edit as of April 25th, 2018:It’s too embarrassing to recall some of the things that I’ve done; suffice it to say that it has been “stranger than fiction”. :) If you haven’t seen that film, you should go see it! Great one!Here’s a clip:Originally answered on January 21st, 2014:Acted aloof and above it all to try to get a guy's attention.I used to turn up my nose, walk swiftly away, make, "ugh" noises under my breath and roll my eyes whenever around a certain crush of mine.I was the only audience to this little drama, I'm sure. He couldn't care less what I was doing; I think he went through three or four girlfriends during my whole, "look at me, but don't because I'm so not looking at you" phase.However, I was somewhat amused at myself and kept doing the behavior, even though I knew it:A) wasn't workingB) was immatureC) made me feel like a pratD) had me walking five times more around the school than I needed to(though, I got some exercise with D).A part of me acted this way because I was actually afraid of starting any relationship. I had a very strict schedule that I had to follow (lots of studying and outside of school lessons for piano and singing and tons of sports’ camps and training and practices…etc). I knew that if I even attempted to date someone, I would end up heartbroken because he would dump me for not having any time.I was scared of getting physical. I didn’t want to admit to anyone that I really did not want to do anything beyond kissing.I had a goal that I would not do anything with a guy before marriage.I figured that if I even started to date someone, he would corrupt this ideal and I would not be able to maintain my resolve.So, in effect, I decided to block any dates myself before I made a fool of myself (in my own eyes).

Use tax is a sales tax on purchases made outside one's state of residence for taxable items that will be used, stored or consumed in one's state of residence and on which no tax was collected in the state of purchase.

Authorization to Release Information The enclosed Authorization form is required in order to allow your HEvalth Plan to release protected hEvalth information to another person or organization.
