...Dangerous Corner J.B. Priestley is one of the outstanding English authors of his time. His Time Plays brought him world fame. He was the first one who used time tricks and flashback in his works, which made the break in the means of development of the character. Characters of his plays appear in a new light before our eyes, and the time trick allows us to see them in a new, deeper level. The extract under analysis is taken from the play “Dangerous corner”. According to its title we can guess that the play describes some dangerous situation, it implies that “dangerous corner” is a dead end, a difficult situation, which has no way out, like “to be in a tight corner”. However, to my mind there can be one more interpretation of the title: “corner” – like a turning point in one’s life – some people have courage to turn around it, to face all the difficulties and danger and cope with them, but others haven’t, they are afraid to lose their illusions, to lose the aim of the life. So we can see that the play deals with mental topic. The situation described in the play deals with the state of affairs in the family of Caplans. From the beginning of the extract we can see the development of two sub-plots: wireless play, and the situation on the foreground, which are mixed. The wireless play is called “The Sleeping Dog”. As the characters explain, the sleeping dog is the truth, which you shouldn’t disturb. But not all characters agree with this statement. Robert Caplan starts investigating...

...Robin Hood SWOT Analysis and Strategy Recommendations Robin Hood’s main problem was the increasing size of his band. Initially, he had hoped that strength lay in numbers and the more Merry men he had, the better it would be for him to effectively fight against the sheriff’s administration. He did not put enough thought into curbing the number of people being recruited. The dilemma occurred when the increasing number of men had made the band a corporation. The more men were recruited into the organization, the less face to face interaction Robin had encountered with each of his men. This would make it hard for him to enforce rules and regulations using his old ways because vigilance was not present with the new recruits. Moreover, the capacity to fund the increasing number of people became very scarce. Supplies needed to be obtained from outlaying villages. This is a very clear consequence of any expanding organization. A formal structure needed to be enforced and a chain of executive party needed to be established so as to monitor the increased number of people in the organization. New Strategy The initial mission of the band, “Rob the rich and give to the poor” was no longer effective to the band. The funds obtained from the outright confiscation of the rich were no longer accommodating the increasing number of the people in the band. The mission statement had to be revised to accommodate the changing ways of the organization. New strategies also need to be introduced to...

According to Paul Ekman, microexpressions are important because they can, “improve your emotional intelligence, develop your capacity for empathy, spot true concealed emotions, improve your relationships, help understand others, recognize and better manage your emotions, and develop better social skills.” Micro expressions are most commonly organized into seven general emotions; anger, disgust, fear, sadness, happiness, surprise, and...

This is exactly what happened to Robin Hood and Merry men. It was in the spring of the second year of his insurrection against the High Sheriff of Nottingham that Robin Hood realized he has faced a number of problems. The number of his men was increasing, along with that came a shortage of food. Travelers, especially those with the most to lose, were giving the forest a wide berth, cutting into the band’s looting revenues. The Sheriff was getting stronger and more powerful day by day. The last, but not the least is that the Barons were putting pressure on him by asking to join him and work on one side. In order to ensure the success of his campaign, Robin Hood really needs to face the abovementioned issues as. Let’s mention that the strategic approach that Robin Hood has employed to accomplish the Merry men’s’ mission, was focused differentiation. Their work had always been about robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, which differentiates the group from its major competition who does the exact opposite. This is also a strength the Merry men have, their distinctive competence. They have positioned themselves to fill a niche and until recently...

...2013-14 Advanced Environmental Technologies 2013-14 Holly Cross Athletic Facility Decontamination Analysis Cleaning vs. Disinfecting Introduction Cleaning and disinfecting of public transportation is a matter of technique, coupled with the proper cleaning agents. To insure that cross contamination of harmful microbes does not occur, certain steps need to be followed to take cleanliness down to the microscopic level, where the cause of the problem actually originates. Current practices of popular cleaners often instruct the user to spray on, wait 30 seconds, and wipe. They also do little to stop cross contamination as the user moves from one container to the next. For containers, airplanes, and intermodal vehicles that go all over the world, the simple act of “cleaning” with a less powerful agent could actually be the cause of a disease jumping from one country to the next. The current practices of using alcohol-based Simple Green, or similar products, instead of the more powerful chlorine dioxide could be a legal problem due to the to the lack of disinfecting properties required by insurance and governing policies. School buses play a major role in the intermodal world we live in. The public transportation network moves millions of people around the world in vehicles that are prime targets for the growth of microbials such as viruses, bacteria and fungi.

...In 1968, the Ford Motor Company, based upon a recommendation by then vice president Lee Iacocca, decided to launch a subcompact car which is Ford Pinto. In order to gain a large market share, the Ford Motor Company plans for the project was the 2000/2000 rule. The car’s designer was designed and developed Pinto could weigh no more than 2000 pounds and it could cost no more than 2000 dollar. The Product Planning Committee instituted this rule because of the extreme competition between all of the automotive companies at the time (Daniel Boyce, n.d). Due to the Ford Motor Company was implemented the 2000/2000 rule, the car’s designers had to cut corners and restricted their ability to design a car the way it should be designed. Therefore, the Ford Pinto is known to be one of the most dangerous cars produced in automotive history due to several serious design flaws. Daniel Boyce wrote an article titled “Ford Pinto Case Information”. In his article, he claimed that “Pinto’s problems originated with the placement of the gas tank. At that time of automobile production, it was customary to place the gas tank between the rear axle and the bumper, which would give the vehicle more trunk space. The only other place the gas tank would be mounted was above the rear axle, but that eliminated trunk space, and the developers of the Pinto wanted the most practical car they could produce. The gas tank was nine inches away from the rear axle. This might not seem like a big deal, but there were...

...enforcement have spent to lower the use of drugs in America. In addition, it could create a new generation of drug users out of our children. These are not the on ills we would have to deal with however. Marijuana could be considered similar to the combination of smoking and alcohol use, because it encompasses the negatives of both. Much like alcohol affects the brain and the way it responds to stimuli e.g., reduction of inhibitions, slowed reaction time, marijuana has similar effects. When combined with driving, it can and has had deadly consequences. Car accidents will increase because of stoned drivers and there will be more death percentages as equivalent to drunk driving. How could we in good conscience allow something that dangerous on our highways and neighborhoods? This would not be the only damage that would be done by legalizing marijuana. Physical damage will be done to users who abuse the drug which could cause severe health problems in the long run. Smoking is already the leading cause of preventable death in the United Sates, and some would have us legalize a...

...G.J and Kurzbard. J. 1994). In 1971 the Ford Motor Company created a product harm crisis with the introduction of the Ford Pinto. The Ford Pinto is known to be one of the most dangerous vehicles ever produced in automotive history due to several serious design flaws. This paper will identify the factors that contributed to the product harm crisis, compare and contrast the findings of various studies on a product harm crisis and finally synthesis the research findings and provide a post mortem recommendation to the Ford Motor Company on how the Ford Pinto product crisis should have been handled. The Case of the Ford Pinto In 1968 the Ford Motor Company decided to market a vehicle that was small, inexpensive and would appeal to all car buyers. The Vice President of Ford Motor Company at the time was Lee Iacocca. Mr. Iacocca approved the plan for the Ford Pinto based on the parameters of the car weighing 2000 pounds and costing $2,000.00 dollars (Danley J. 2005). By placing these parameters on the car’s designers, they were limited from the beginning and ended up with a failed product. The key factors that contributed to the product crisis included the Ford Pinto being rushed to production in twenty five months, the timeframe to production causing designers and producers of the car to cut corners and finally the placement of the gas tank nine inches from the rear axle. The last factor is key because the designers were obviously only trying to gain more trunk space for the...
