The Woodlawn Best Buy is located almost on top of the theoretical boundary of the territory covered by the Woodlawn tower’s northeast and northwest antennas, and well within the range of each. This means that we would expect the majority of all calls made or received from Adnan’s cell phone while the phone is at the Best Buy to be routed through either the A or C antennas of the Woodlawn tower (although a minority of the calls will likely be routed through other towers, based on tower traffic or technical considerations). On the other hand, the Southeast antenna, B, points directly opposite of Best Buy, making it less likely for any call made or received from Best Buy to be routed through that antenna.
The cell records are therefore consistent

...eople playing with their phones “I assuming is their phones or it might be Verizon’s phone”. This to me seems a psychological mind game. They show you a picture of a person or couple smiling. That in turn should make you think if they are happy they I can be happy with a Verizon too.

Profitability is a major part of a company’s success. If they are not making money, they are losing it. CVS net profit margin and gross profit percentage for the past two years has fallen behind Walgreens. This is a major red flag when deciding which company to invest in. If one company is clearly making more money than another right now in the present, then one would want to invest in the better performing country.

The company I chose to do my report on for Small Business Management is Dick’s Sporting Goods. You may say to yourself “Why Dick’s Sporting Goods?” As with most large companies we see today, most have come from humble beginnings. It is hard to imagine sometimes in today’s faced paced and technologically advanced era. Especially, if you can remember the dot com era. Companies were springing up left and right. Some with potential to take off like a rocket, while others seemed to have crashed and burned. Usually, when those of my era (generation x) thinks of a large company and well to do rich families, names such as the Rockefellers and Carnegies come to mind. These families started from just about nothing to become considered the one

When it comes to home improvement two big names pop into every Americans mind, which are Home Depot and Lowes. Home depot being the younger company, founded about 38 years ago in Marietta, Georgia whereas Lowes started off about 70 years ago in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Both companies sell products not only for contractors but also focus heavily on the retail and consumer market. Lowes and Home Depot each have different cultures, strategies, values, attitudes and structures all of which influence the customer experience as well the image of the companies respectively. There is a strong sense of loyalty in customers towards these big box stores. Building this trust and relationship with customers is a common strategy of both companies.
Cell phones use radio frequencies to transmit signals. Radio Frequencies (RF) are a form of electrical waves similar to those used in radios, microwaves, radars or satellite stations. They are emitted from a transmitter, and received using an antenna. This telephony technology is restricted geographically to small zones called “Cells”. Every cell has a base station capable of sending and receiving radio waves. When a call is started a signal leaves the handheld unit headed to the closest base station. This station answers by allocating a specific channel to the unit. When this “channel” is established, modulated radio frequency signals are both received and transmitted. The head of the user is in the near field of use because the distance from the antenna to the head is a few centimeters. (Blettner & Berg 2000) If the antenna is inside the body of the phone, the exposure to Radio Frequencies is greater. The antenna might be requesting a stronger signal to contest with the interference of the battery or the actual shell of the phone’s body.

Barrett says the technology works by acting like a cell phone tower and tricking the phones to send information to the device. The device is carried by an airplane, and it scans data as it flies over land. After the device picks up on a cell phone, it can track that phone to within three yards of its actual location. The technology was supposed to be only intended to spy on terrorists overseas, but Barrett claims it’s also scanning the domestic cell phones used by innocent people.(Barrett) He reports the CIA and Justice Department began creating this new technology shortly after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. Since then he reports that over 100 million dollars have been spent on developing a way to attain information from cell phone users. This technology is used primarily in countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, but “Civil-liberties groups say the technique amounts to a digital dragnet of innocent American’s
