...Luke Singer Megan Peters English 111 10/7/12 You’re My God Damn Hero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-XWhH2VSXk There may not be a better ending to a movie that has been released in the last ten years. The ending of Taking of Pelham 123 includes a face-off between good and bad, with guns drawn, and both men up against a wall, creating a dramatic and suspenseful ending to a fantastic movie. As if the film did not have enough action in it, the last scene alone can provide enough white knuckles in the audience to fulfill any demands from the public audience. However, before anyone thinks that this sort of ending just “happens” without a lot of thought and attention to detail, think again. The director, Tony Scott, created the perfect concoction in the last scene to produce something that was unforgettable and that left the audience with a good taste in their mouth as they finished the movie. Through years of directing, this may come more easily to Scott, but the untrained eye would have no idea where to start if they were to put together this last scene. Many factors are working together here that need to be broken down to experience the full effects of what is going on. The multiple forms of rhetoric, with addition to other factors such as camera angles, target audience, and word choice, built a scene that can be analyzed from the inside out. The use of rhetoric here is different than how it may be used in a commercial. Instead of persuading someone to purchase...

...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...

...achieve success initially due to many initiatives set up to promote aeronautic research by the government. Of particular importance is the subsidies received by Embraer, which helped it to achieve the majority market share in the commuter turboprop market with its ‘Bandeirante’ aircraft. The subsidies were believed to be in the region of 39-44% as claimed by their competitor Fairchild, which undoubtedly played a huge role in their early success. However, Embraer began to falter when a series of negative events began to hurt its profits when budgetary pressures as a result of macroeconomic difficulty in Brazil meant that they could no longer depend on subsidies to help boost sales. In addition, their political ties led to the development of CBA 123, which ultimately turned out to be a huge failure. To help examine Embraer’s post-privatisation success, we can use an adapted version of ‘The Four-Tiered Structure of Markets’ found in Khanna & Palepu (2006). In this adapted version of the regional aircraft manufacturing industry (Apendix 1), there are only three tiers namely Global, Glocal and Local. In the early stages of Embraer’s operations, they were arguably operating in the Local tier of the industry. As a state-owned initiative, their primary purpose was to serve the local Brazilian market. Around 1981, Embraer began moving up into the Glocal Tier as it set up a subsidiary to focus on its exports to the U.S. as Embraer became the market leader in the...

...MIXED CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE Dominique Lewis Anatomy & Physiology I | BIO1011 15 South University . Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) What’s considered to be an autoimmune disorder, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is one of the most puzzling diseases due to its overlapping characteristics. These overlapping characteristics include the diseases systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, and polymyositis (http://lup.sagepub.com/content/15/3/132.short). Though the disease is somewhat unknown and presumably hereditary, the uncovered cause and criteria for diagnosis is linked through like antibodies and antigens (http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM197611182952101). MCTD affects numerous body systems i.e. skeletal, muscular, skeletal, digestive, and nervous (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases_conditions/hic_Mixed_Connective_Tissue_Disease). Treatment for this disease is patient specific depending on the severity of each case; while the medications prescribed are ailment specific, creating a huge risk of developing side effects due to contraindications and normal use. In diagnosing these side effects, one must first explore the history of MCTD. What is Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)? In 1972 (Venables) Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) was first recognized for its overlapping features by its like or “mixed” similarities noticed in patients presenting with signs and symptoms of three autoimmune connective...

...Section A: Short Answers 1) It is difficult to improve service productivity because services cannot be stored on shelves for sale at a later date. Also, in the service sector, it is not always possible to increase output given the same number of input, as the input is usually people and the service experienced by them contains many variables, each of which can lead to a different outcome for the consumer. For example, whenever I visit my hairdresser in Jades Hair Salon, I come back very happy knowing that my hair will look neat and perfect. However, recently, my hairdresser seemed very rough while combing and trimming my hair and even at the end, my hair setup did not turn out quite well, and thus it made me very unhappy about it. Another example is my favorite restaurant Wishbone, recently the service quality seemed very poor to me as the staffs do not greet in a friendly manner plus the food takes so much time to get served which makes us even more frustrated. As with manufacturing firms, successful service businesses use marketing as a tool to strongly position themselves to selected target markets. These firms develop their positions by using marketing mix activities. Since services are different from tangible products, they need additional marketing approaches. For example, products of Pure Fiji are manufactured to the premier American Quality Control Criteria with the use of the proper manufacturing guidelines. Pure Fiji produces in bulk, stocks their outputs and sells...

...1. Introduction Genetic profiling for the public has been around for a few decades but it has already changed many people’s lives. However, though it has many benefits an ethical issue arises should someone have the duty to disclose their genetic information to someone who may be at risk. In this essay, the issue of disclosure will be discussed, it will be broken down into 3 main topics: the advantages and disadvantages of genetic profiling; disclosing genetic information to family members and finally disclosing genetic information in the work place. This essay will then prove in its conclusion that there though there are ethical objections to disclosing genetic information there is a greater moral duty to show information. 1.1. Definition of genetic profiling Genetic profiling is also called DNA and genetic finger printing. According to the glossary of the National Human Genome Research Institute (n.d., n.p) the definition is “Genetic testing is a laboratory test to look for genetic variations associated with a disease. The results of a genetic test can be used to confirm or rule out a suspected genetic disease or to decide the likelihood of a person passing on a mutation to their offspring.” 2. Genetic Profiling and Ethics 2.1 Advantages of genetic profiling and ethics Even though genetic profiling is still relatively new, its positive outcomes can already be seen in the world around us. A layman’s example would be the use of genetic testing to discover the...

Therefore, a foreign national working in Malaysia is responsible to pay his or her tax to Malaysia Inland Revenue under the Malaysian law because he or she is deriving income from Malaysian soil. But there is some exemption for non-resident in Malaysia under the paragraph 21, Schedule 6 of the ITA; I. During employment for a period or periods which together do not exceed sixty days in the basis year for a year of assessment II. During employment for a continuous period (not exceeding sixty days) which overlaps the basis years for two successive years of assessment; or III.

...Analyzing the Dangers and Risk Associated with Cloud Computing in the Health Care Industry Alfonso I. Evans Excelsior College Abstract As technology continues to advance, so do the ever present threats to steal important information. Businesses all around the world are trying to cut cost to increase profits and sometimes it comes at the expense of information technology. One technological advance I will be analyzing is cloud computing and if it is a viable solution. The healthcare industry has begun putting patient information on networks that can be accessed by a number of physicians to maintain a complete record of health history. The problem with this system is that a single hospital does not have the space to maintain the supercomputers necessary to keep all that information so other solutions have to be examined. This assessment will look at the benefits and risk associated with cloud computing as it pertains to patient records. Analyzing the Dangers and Risk Associated with Cloud Computing in the Health Care Industry Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (Mell & Grance, 2011). Cloud computing has become a valuable asset to businesses and individuals alike because it is convenient to...
