...be punished for others people mistakes? When teens end up in crashes they either survive or don’t. Either way it goes they learned their lessons. Parents should pay attention to this and talk to their teenagers. They shouldn’t let their teenagers drive unless they’re with them and then once they see how teenagers are doing on the road, they can either let their teenagers drive alone or sit their with them until their sure their teenager is ready to handle the wheel with out their parents by their side. Finally, Some people believe that it would be good to raise the driving age to 18. This is not necessarily true. If you raise the driving age it will just make more accidents for the ages 18 to 21. Do you really want people that grown crashing into cars and dieing or being injured. Their may be more accidents at 16 and 17, but you can’t blame everyone for...

...1. Describe the culture for race car drives. Race car drivers of course accept a lot of risk when they compete in a race, and believe that in order to succeed they must take risks. Some risks include crashes with other vehicles and possible loss of life, either from crashing their cars into into the other vehicles, inanimate objects, or other people, as with the death of Kevin Ward Jr. (Daft / People.com) At the same time, race car drivers receive an adrenaline rush from racing. They receive this rush from the super-fast speeds, and pushing themselves and their cars to the edge. (Daft) 2. How does NASCAR show social responsibility? Many companies have started focusing on social issues, and NASCAR is no different. Since it started, NASCAR has been working with charity programs and non-profit foundations.

...thrill has been a deadly one on occasion, with a total of 28 people killed in the history of the race flown every year in Reno since 1964, Draper said. "The Reno Air Racing Association extends its most sincere heartfelt condolences and sympathies to all of those affected by yesterday's tragic events," the association said in a statement. Leeward was the son of a pilot and his own sons have also flown planes. He worked as a stunt pilot on some movies, including the 2002 release "Dragonfly." The NTSB also was investigating the Martinsburg crash, which came as six T-28 aircraft were flying in formation at the Thunder Over the Blue Ridge Open House & Air Show. A witness said one of the planes dropped and then rolled onto its side before crashing. The T-28 was used as a trainer by the Navy and Air Force between 1950 and 1984. The Reno and Martinsburg crashes were the latest in a spate of fatal air show accidents since August. Last month, the pilot of an aerobatic airplane died in a fiery crash in front of shocked onlookers at a weekend...

...TrafficLoad 03-10-2011 (3 october that is) This is a simple traffic loading fix, for people who have modded cars and get the issue of always the same car appearing. It is also a welcome addition for people who wish to have more diverse traffic and/or want more control of the amount of traffic appearing. Installation You will need an asi loader and aru's Scripthook, or something similar. Be sure you GTA IV can load .asi scripts. This script has been tested on 1.0.3.0 (with ScriptHook 0.4.0), 1.0.4.0 (ScriptHook 0.4.0) and 1.0.7.0 (with ScriptHook 0.5.1). To install this mod, copy the files TrafficLoad.asi and TrafficLoad.ini in your GTA IV folder. Remove all older or other versions! TrafficLoad.ini configuration You can specify your own values for both pedestrians and cars in the .ini. It is also possible to modify the amount of cars loaded before models that aren't used anymore are wiped from memory. Extra cars When you have no added cars installed, no modification is needed. If you do have added cars, look in the .ini for clarification. Up to 15 cars can be added. Trouble? If the mod does not load, check ScriptHook.log for possible messages, or the lack thereof. If nothing is loaded, be sure to right click the file and check for any security measurements Windows Vista and Windows 7 apply. Remove those, they prevent the file from getting loaded. When it still doesn't load or it loads but a weird memory address pops up in the logs, copy and paste MSVCR100D.dll into...

...the passengers and road users. The death rates for young drivers under the age of 24 are approximately two times those of older drivers. Together with the dreadful human cost, such lose impose a huge financial burden on societies. Research shows that the main cause of the young driver’s accidents is a combination of inadequate skills due to inexperience and intentional risk taking related to age and youthfulness. Whichever of this is the main cause it is still the hot literature debate. However, there is a great need to go beyond this debate and tackle this concern to cut on the young driver accident. Identifying the drivers at a greater risk of crashing before it happens is valuable as it can prevent injury to road users and reduce social cost to the society (Fowles, 2010). Attempts to recognize drivers at a higher risk of crashing rely heavily on evident of crash, traffic offense records and driving behavior of the past. Sixty five per cent of the young drivers smash or crash their car in the first four years of driving, and at least...

...1).What is some of the issues that weigh in favor of and against crashing the project? In favor, this will help Joe get the project back on schedule. It will save his reputation as a project leader. This will also keep his company from having to pay penalties for going over the time limit. Against crashing, this may cost more than what the company will have to pay in penalties. The crash might get some of the work caught up but still not make the project come in on time. The crash could lower employee morale. He needs to know how much time it will save and how much the crash will cost. 2).Suppose you were the site supervisor for this project. How would you advise Joe to proceed? Before deciding whether to crash the project, what questions should you consider and how should you evaluate Your options? If I were the site supervisor I would tell Joe to first figure out how many activities needed to be caught up. Then I would tell him to figure out the cost of crashing each activity. Finally I would ask him how much time can be saved by crashing these activities? Now after all these things are done you can see just how much time can be saved and whether or not it will get him back on schedule. If it will get the project back on schedule then I would say go for it as long as the cost does not exceed the cost of the late penalties. Last but not least I would direct him to talk the key members of his team to see what input they might have. Inaddittion to that...

...ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT 1 ASSIGNMENT 2 - PROJECT SCHEDULING & CRASHING Please answer both questions (10% towards final subject marks) 1. The Sharon Construction Corporation The Sharon Construction Company has been awarded a contract for the construction of a 20,000-seat stadium. Construction works must start by February 15 and be completed within one year. A penalty clause of $15, 000 per week of delay beyond February 15 of next year is written into the contract. Jim Brown, the president of the company, called a planning meeting, where he expressed great satisfaction at obtaining the contract and revealed that the company could net as much as $300, 000 on the project. He was confident that the project could be finished on time with an allowance made for the usual delays anticipated in such a large project. Bonnie Green, the director of personnel, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she reminded the president that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements were to expire on November 30. Past experience indicated a fifty-fifty chance of a strike. Jim Brown agreed that a strike might cause a problem. Unfortunately, there was no way to change the contract. He inquired about the prospective length of a strike. Bonnie figured that it would last either 8 weeks (70% Chance) or possibly 12 weeks (30% chance). Jim was not...

...Week 8 Checkpoint: JetBlue &and WestJet: A Tale of Two IS Projects IT205 April 11, 2014 Week 8 Checkpoint: JetBlue & WestJet: A Tale of Two IS Projects The reservation system at airlines is the heart of the customer interaction and these systems helps guide the customers through the process of shopping for flights and lets the customers see what seats are available on that flight and then if they find what they want they can go ahead and pay for the tickets right then. Customers use the reservation systems to make the reservations, change reservations, or cancel reservations. They also can select specific seats on their flights, check the bags, and utilizing the kiosks located at the airports to print out boarding passes. The benefits of upgrading the system would by far outweigh any of the risk once the implementation is completed. The highest risk would be the loss of customers, this would stand true for both WestJet and JetBlue Airlines. JetBlue helped to minimize their risks when WestJet decided to be the first to upgrade and implement. WestJet went live in October of 2009 and it was horrible. They had not evaluated everything thoroughly and it showed. The bottom line is the risks involved is customer service being affected in anyway. WestJet was the first to undertake the upgrade and implementation. Their customers were having major issues with the reservation services which caused their call centers to get flooded with calls. The influx of customers trying...

...Few memories as a failure on a major project from half a decade ago still vividly remains in memories. As a Research Assistant to Tim, it was my first paid job. Tim, an Engineer, worked in silos and had driver social style to his heart beat. He only communicated the expectations without delving in the details that he had in his mind. Even though the Office space was a closed knit space for 16 students, Tim seldom hung out with people to build personal relationships. He only interacted with others when there was a need. His lack of explanation on why the project was needed had left me wondering regarding purpose and design aspects of the new programming project. I struggled on how to effectively design the project and often sought help from other people, who recommended me that the project needed investment in new programming platform as old platform was incapable of achieving the project objectives. After making almost no progress on the project and wasting time in attempts to make old platform workable, I received a vehement email from Tim, stating that XYZ Inc. was deciding to scale back on funding, as no progress reports were submitted. I was shocked to learn that I was even expected to submit progress reports at the end of quarter on the undertaken project in which I had neither any clue nor communication. As an amiable person, I was too quick to reach an agreement with Tim on project deliverables. I had thought that I would be receiving friendly advice and guidance from...

...For ""Anticipated Project Size"" use your internal metrics as guidance. For example, if you use lines of code, then mentally assign ball park values to Small, Medium and Large as part of determining whether to give this criteria a high or low score. Follow a similar process ""Anticipated Duration"". Since project duration depends on project complexity, mentally categorize earlier projects as short, average or long duration to help put the current project in context. 2. After assigning a score for each criteria, view the Feasibility Study Suitability Indicator to discover the best method to use for determining project viability. 3. Omitted criteria will give an inaccurate result, so ensure all criteria are scored before checking the indicator."
