3C's model

The 3C's Model is a business model, which offers a strategic look at the factors needed for success. It was developed by business and corporate strategist Kenichi Ohmae.

The 3C’s model points out that a strategist should focus on three key factors for success. In the construction of a business strategy, three main players must be taken into account:

Only by integrating these three, a sustained competitive advantage can exist. Ohmae refers to these key factors as the three C’s or strategic triangle.

There are certain needs that arise from the customer end. They include core benefit or service and expected product. Recognizing this need the corporation or company offers a basic product. To cater to their expectations and also to differentiate from competitors who tend to morph their products, corporations offer augmented products. Also, both the corporation and the competitors eventually tap the existence of potential products.

There is also a new 3 C's model emerging which centers on sustainability. This model is:

C&S

C&S may refer to:

Complement component 1s

Complement component 1S (EC 3.4.21.42, C1 esterase, activated complement C1s, complement C overbar 1r ) is a protein involved in the complement system.

C1s cleaves C4, which eventually leads to the production of the C4b-C2a form of C3-convertase.

F♯ A♯ ∞

F♯ A♯ ∞ (pronounced "F-sharp, A-sharp, Infinity") is the debut album of the Canadian post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It was released twice, first in 1997 by Constellation Records and then again on 8 June 1998, by Kranky as an expanded edition that ran for 63:27. The album is devoid of traditional lyrics and mostly instrumental, featuring lengthy songs segmented into movements and wide dynamics.

The album was recorded at the Hotel2Tango in the Mile End of Montreal. It was initially released in very limited quantities, and was mainly distributed through live performances and advertised by word of mouth.

Recording

In 1995, Mauro Pezzente moved into a loft with his then-girlfriend in the Mile End of Montreal. Pezzente used the flat as a performance venue, dubbing it the Gallery Quiva. Around 1996, fumes from the mechanic's garage below the loft forced them to vacate it. Shortly after their departure, Efrim Menuck moved into the space and established Hotel2Tango, serving both as a recording studio and practice space. There, in 1997, the original recording of F♯ A♯ ∞ took place. By this time, the band had reached an unwieldy 15 members. In preparation of the album, they trimmed their numbers to ten.

Fighter & Attacker

Fighter & Attacker, originally titled F/A (エフ/エイ, Efu/Ei) in Japan, is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game, which was released by Namco in 1992. The game runs on Namco NA-1 hardware, was the first game on this hardware to be released outside Japan (Bakuretsu Quiz Ma-Q Dai Bōken was the first overall) and is the only game from the company that showed the Federal Bureau of Investigation's "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen in its attract sequence with vertical orientation (the two titles that displayed it previously, Tank Force and Steel Gunner 2, both displayed it with horizontal orientation).

Gameplay

Players must take control of two of sixteen different aircraft, all of which have different firing and bombing patterns. Unlike many other vertical scrolling shooters where players have a set amount of lives (like Namco's own Xevious), both players' chosen aircraft only have one life, with an energy bar (marked "ARMOR") at the bottom of the screen, which immediately ends the game for that player if depleted. However, players can earn extra energy by reaching certain scores - and if the arcade's operator has set the "CONTINUE" setting in the game's options menu to "ON", they will be able to continue by inserting another coin within ten seconds of their energy bar becoming depleted, giving them the opportunity to select a different plane if they did not get very far with the one they had originally chosen.

F8A1

Factor VIII intron 22 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the F8A1 gene.

This gene is contained entirely within intron 22 of the factor VIII gene; spans less than 2 kb, and is transcribed in the direction opposite of factor VIII. A portion of intron 22 (int22h), containing F8A, is repeated twice extragenically closer to the Xq telomere. Although its function is unknown, the observation that this gene is conserved in the mouse implies it has some function. Unlike factor VIII, this gene is transcribed abundantly in a wide variety of cell types.
