...JAPAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 123 Aviation accident is defined by events associated with an aircraft that has the risk of affecting the safety of operations which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as the passengers have disembarked, in which a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure or the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. An accident in which the damage to the aircraft is such that it must be written off, or in which the plane is destroyed is called a hull loss accident. Over the years, there are many aircraft accidents but there are a few major accidents such as the September 11 crash at the World Trade Center in New York in 2001, the Tenerife airport disaster in 1977 which is recorded as the highest death toll, the Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 and others. Until today, the Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 is the single-aircraft disaster with the highest number of fatalities. In this crash, all 15 crew members, 505 out of 509 passengers died and resulting in a total of 520 deaths on board a Boeing 747. The aircraft suffered an explosive decompression from an incorrectly repaired doubler plates causing the aft pressure bulkhead to fail, which failed in mid flight and destroyed most of its vertical stabilizer, and severed all of the hydraulic lines, making the 747 paralyzed and uncontrollable. The pilots were able to keep the plane flying...

Springer Controller SUBJECT: Revisions to OMB Circular A-123, Management’s Responsibility for Internal Control OMB Circular No. A-123 defines management's responsibility for internal control in Federal agencies. A re-examination of the existing internal control requirements for Federal agencies was initiated in light of the new internal control requirements for publicly-traded companies contained in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Circular A-123 and the statute it implements, the Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act of 1982, are at the center of the existing Federal requirements to improve internal control. This circular reflects policy recommendations developed by a joint committee of representatives from the Chief Financial Officer Council (CFOC) and the President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE). The policy changes in this circular are intended to strengthen the requirements for conducting management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The circular also emphasizes the need for agencies to integrate and coordinate internal control assessments with other internal control-related activities. The revised circular is...

...Case Study: Can APCO Insure Its Future with a New System? APCO, short for the Automobile Protection Corp., is a little-known company whose field is automotive service insurance and whose goal is to market and administer contracts that cover both automobile warranties and service contracts. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company was launched in 1984 and was acquired by Ford in 1999 for $165 million. Its contracts are actually insurance policies that cover the costs of repairing vehicles—contracts that dealers offer when customers purchase a vehicle. Although some dealers insure for repairs themselves, usually these contracts are actually offered by insurance companies in the name of the dealers, and they are usually sold through the dealers. APCO is not a dealer, a service organization, or an insurer but instead arranges for warranting and servicing insurance with various insurance companies. It then markets these policies as service contracts or warranties through the automobile dealers. Once these contracts are sold to the vehicle purchasers, APCO administers them through the dealers. It also handles private-label service contracts for partners who finance and sell their own contracts and then engage APCO to administer them. Its private-label partners include such well-known companies as Allstate, American Honda Finance, Banc One, Manhein Auto Auctions, Mazda USA, and Volvo Canada. Although APCO had only $8 million in sales in 1989, its fifth year, by the year 2000...

...Part 1: Fahrenheit 451 The first part of Fahrenheit 451 is pretty complex. In the first part of this section the main Character Guy runs into a woman by the name of Clarisse. Clarisse is an intelligent woman and she know that Guy has been burning books. So she starts of the conversation by just saying hello, then she asks him why he likes to burn books. He really doesn’t have an excuse for burning books he just enjoys it, I find this very strange myself but I find this whole section strange. Then after the encounter he had with Clarisse he goes home to his wife and as he walks in the door. he discovers that she has overdosed on a drug, he suddenly calls 911 as any instinct of a fireman would be too.

Please do not, however, begin your paper in exactly the same way or attempt to copy “buzz words” or phrases. Write your own paper!] On February 17, 2005, the Jazz Ensemble at Tarleton State University had their first concert of the spring semester with special guest trumpeter, Daryl White. The jazz ensembles collectively performed thirteen pieces during the concert. “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories” were three stylistically different pieces that allowed the audience to experience the various sounds of jazz music. Jazz music, like all music, tells a story and here are the stories of “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories”. “Fly Me to the Moon”, written by Bart Howard and arranged by Sammy Nestico, is an upbeat standard sung most famously by Frank Sinatra. In the instrumental version of this song, a Latin-inspired sounding consonance set the romantic mood at the beginning of this song. A piano and saxophone then alternated the melody of the song as though they were dancing like two lovers flying to the moon. As the passion of the song heated up, the texture changed within...

...Rhythm Killers is the second studio album by Jamaican musical duo Sly and Robbie, released in May 1987 on Island Records. After their prolific output in reggae, the duo experimented with electronic sounds and contemporary recording technology, while branching out into international, cross-genre endeavors during the 1980s. For the album, they enlisted record producer and mentor Bill Laswell and recorded with an ensemble of musicians at Quad Recording in New York City. Along with their live instruments, Sly and Robbie used electronic recording equipment such as the Fairlight CMI synthesizer and electronic drums. A funk and dance album, Rhythm Killers has a dense sound that incorporates contrasting musical elements and disparate styles, including reggae, hip hop, hard rock, worldbeat, and downtown music. Arranged in two side-long gapless suites, the album's songs are characterized by electronic grooves, striking beats, improvisational rhythms, string synthesizers, and cross-rhythms produced by turntable scratches, African and Latin-influenced percussion, and percussive raps. The album has been noted by music writers for its electronic rhythms, treatment of African-American music elements, and Laswell's densely layered production. The album charted in four countries, including the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 35 on the British Albums Chart. It was promoted with two singles, including the UK hit "Boops (Here to Go)". Upon its release, Rhythm Killers...

...Porters 5 forces that was developed by Michael Porter in 1979 focuses on 5 main factors that can help the FMCG companies and determine the industry that a company wants to join or enter into. The Porters 5 forces will show if it is profitable for a company to enter the market based in the 5 criteria’s. Porter’s main plan was to understand the forces and the underlying causes that reveals the basis or foundation in an industry’s profitability while allowing to identify the current and the future incoming competition (Arline, 2015). According to Michael E. Porter the origin of profitability will not change regardless of the type of the industry that a company will operate in. But what will drive competition and the profit making ability will be structure of the industry, and not the fact that the industry is producing goods or services, is developing or matured in the market. Porters 5 Forces Model Source: (Masonmyers.com, 2016) Applying the porter’s five forces into Fmcg companies. Threat of new entrants. Coca cola is a well-known beverage company that falls into the FMCG category. They aren’t just a company but also hold a very strong brand name. Coca cola faces a medium risk of new entrants. They reap economies of scale and thus enjoy very low average cost making it hard for new entrants to enter the beverage market. And also the fact that Coca cola has been operating in the market for a very long time, their products are popular around the world in almost every country...

...One of the most influential economists in twentieth century-John Kenneth Galbraith asserted that there are two forms of wants exit in consumer demand. First is the individual’s want that never going to be reduced, although it always satisfied. Like a man is physically satisfied by fulfilling his stomach by eating food, but then he may want to watch TV to relax after finishing eating. The other form of consumer demand is that the consumer role that human plays. Human in this role always want to buy production to satisfy themselves. However, the two forms of wants will not exist as the modern advertising and salesman were brought into the economy, which brings in the theory of Galbraith-“The Dependence Effect”. He expounded that “As a society becomes increasingly affluent, wants are increasingly created by the process by which they are satisfied” (Galbraith, John Kenneth, p. 293). He thought that advertising manipulates human’s needs and create artificial needs for people, or in other words, modern advertising is used not for serving human’s needs purpose, but for creating new demands for them. For example, fancy jewelry always appears on the TV screen. The shinning appearances of the jewelry with the romantic background music, advertisers utilize the perfect visual effect and auditory effect to introduce how perfect their product is, so that attract consumers to buy it. Do people really need jewelry? The answer would be no. The need that people have on jewelry is because of the...
