F2F Class Notes (Ben)

But our clients wanted to cancel the previous ones and replace them, which I think is retarded. They are the same styles as well as quantity. They just changed the packing method by dividing one PI into a hundred.

For example one PI is 10,000 pieces and they divided this PI into a huge amount of smaller ones, which is only 10 pieces or 20 pieces each. I have no idea, they just want us to pack their goods to make it easier for them to deliver them to their stores, because there are around 100 stores in the US. This way they don’t need to repack them when the goods reach their warehouse.

We need to input new PIs in the system manually because we need to figure out how our client want to pack their goods and send this new information to our factories.

But the Pakistani insisted to climb because the top is not far from where they were. The sherpa had no choice but to follow him. They finally climbed to the top but during the climbing down they had a huge problem at an altitude/height of 8,600 meters, which means they only climbed down for 200 meters. They ran out of oxygen and they fainted and were in a very dangerous situation. According to the report, 40 other climbers passed by them but no one stopped to give them any help. A German climber called a rescue team when he got down the moutain and fortunately the two people were finally saved but this event is very contradictory and caused a lot of people to debate about it. Some think the 40 other climbers were very cruel but they didn’t do anything after seeing other people dying

But a lot more people don’t agree with them. They think it is the Pakistani who is selfish because he didn’t listen to the sherpa’s advice and he put himself and the guide into danger. And the sherpa is still in hospital. He was badly -in hypothermia. His hands were badly frozen and necrosed.

After running out of oxygen, they both fainted and were in a very dangerous situation. According to the news, 40 other climbers passed by them but no one stopped to give them any help.

A German climber called a rescue team when he got down the mountain and fortunately the two people were finally saved but this event is very controversial and caused a lot of people to debate about it.

Some think the other 40 climbers were very cruel as they didn’t do anything after seeing other people dying

But a lot more people don’t agree with that. They think it is the Pakistani who was selfish because he didn’t listen to the sherpa’s advice and he put himself and the guide into danger. And the sherpa is still in hospital. He was badly injured, he was in heavy hypothermia. His hands were badly frozen and necrosed.
