1Chronicles Chapter TEN

10 And the Philistines, for their part, made war upon Israel; and the men of Israel went fleeing from before the Philistines and kept falling slain in Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines kept in close range of Saul and his sons; and the Philistines got to strike down Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul. 3 And the fighting became heavy against Saul; and those shooting with the bow finally found him, and he got wounded by the shooters. 4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer: "Draw your sword and run me through with it, that these uncircumcised men may not come and certainly deal abusively with me." And his armor-bearer was unwilling, because he was very much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell upon it. 5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul had died, then he too fell upon the sword and died. 6 Thus Saul and three sons of his died, and all those of his house died together. 7 When all the men of Israel that were in the low plain saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, then they began to leave their cities and flee, after which the Philistines came on in and took up dwelling in them. 8 And it came about the next day that, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they got to find Saul and his sons fallen upon Mount Gilboa. 9 And they proceeded to strip him and take off his head and his armor and send into the land of the Philistines all around to inform their idols and the people. 10 Finally they put his aror in the house of their god, and his skull they fastened to the house of Dagon. 11 And all those of Jabesh in Gilead got to hear of all that the Philistines had done to Saul. 12 So all the valiant men rose up and carried off the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons and brought them to Jabesh and buried their bones under the big tree in Jabesh, and they went fasting for seven days. 13 Thus Saul died for his unfaithfulness with which he had acted faithlessly against Jehovah that he had not kept and also for asking of a spirit medium to make inquiry. 14 And he did not inquire of Jehovah. Consequently he put him to death and turned the kingship over to David the son of Jesse.

IP 23 Feedback

IP 23 Chaperone/Feedback Feedback by closing the loop between the output or product of a process and the controlling or influencing inputs. Introduce feedback. Enhance or change existing feedback. Monitor and control inputs rather than simply inspect outputs. Continuous coursework and assessment rather than end of the year exams. Many processes, typically continuous flow production, electronics or service processes, are part of larger systems. Such systems are best controlled using closed loop feedback, where the state of one or more critical outputs is used to influence one or more critical inputs. Making feedback work well is a challenging subject, as over control is just as problematic as under control. However the aim must be to ensure effective feedback loops are in place within processes where they will clearly help. Feedback is essential as part of system's control mechanisms. Six Sigma encourages the concept and use of the formula Y=f(x), where we control the inputs to a
