Kettlebells may seem to be a new popular trend amongst fitness enthusiasts and athletes, but the truth is that they have been around for centuries with ancient findings of their use for dynamic strength and endurance training. Nobody can quite figure out their true origins, and only theories have been made for what the kettlebell was actually created for. However, records in archeology actually show that they existed as far back as ancient Greece. Proof of these records can be found in Athens,…

I know very little about the subject except that it tends to be very flawed and never seems to work. 2. What will I need to learn more about or research further regarding the topic/issue I have chosen? The first thing I need to learn about is what socialism represents and its ideals. I also need to research articles and journals pointing out the flaws of socialism. Lastly, I will need to…

According to (Jiawei Han, 2011) “We living in a world where vast amount of data are collected daily. Analysing such data is an important need”. Data mining it is a process to discover patterns in large amount of data and turn data into knowledge What is the purpose?

Safeway use of spreadsheets to gather and compile inventory data and determine how stockouts trend company-wide proved unreliable as it lacked the ability to identify trends across specific brand or Universal Product Code (UPC) barcodes. Spreadsheets are limited in their ability to accommodate huge amounts of data. Increasing reliability and responsiveness in the supply chain function is by increasing visibility. Increasing data visibility has proven a critical strategy aimed at cost reduction…

CHAPTER 4 IMPLICIT RELATIONS ON WIKIPEDIA USING ASSOCIATION LINK NETWORK Finding the semantic similarity, use the Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping Daniel (2009). Fuzzy logic is a form of much logical value. Compared to traditional binary sets fuzzy logic variables may have a truth value that ranges in degree between -1 and 1. Fuzzy logic has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false. A…

A Data Warehouse is a centrally placed storage for data collected from within and outside the organisation. The collected information is organised around key business objectives, and it is utilised during analysis and reporting. It is simply a central database with the sole purpose of analysis and reporting. On the other hand, a Data Mart is much smaller than a Data Warehouse and is applied in a functional area like say finance, where the enterprise adjudges that it would profit from business…

with many things, the data mart’s biggest asset is also its biggest flaw. And the biggest problem with data marts is that they are compartmentalized. Only one group of people can access that information. If that group wants additional data, it must be gathered from a different data mart or data warehouse and brought to their data mart (Westerman 13). When this happens there can be numerous warehouses to maintain, which is not desired. Wal-Mart advises to wait until the data warehouse is…

To narrow down exactly which crime data collection data gives the most reliable representation of crime rate in the United States I had to rule out which ones I knew where not. With all great sound arguments one must lead with the process of elimination first. So to begin this journey I first researched the three most profound data collections: Uniform Crime Report (UCR), The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The first choice…
