...From 1945-1991, United Sates foreign relations were chiefly guided by containment and its philosophy. Where as strategic action would be taken to stop the spread of communism. Devised by George Keenan and adopted by Harry Truman, containment was created during the Cold War to stop the spread of Soviet influence, and communist rule. Examples of this doctrine are the war in Vietnam, Korea, Iran, and other countries where democracy seeking countries were looking for U.S support over communist governments. Although containment was heavily influenced within the U.S foreign relations principles, there are a few examples where U.S policy was not guided by Cold War thinking. The first example comes from negotiations between the U.S and Russia, called...

...major loss of 27 million Soviet soldiers, the Soviet Union wanted to prevent any further casualties. Therefore, the Soviet’s policy was the expansion of not only the country itself but also communism. With major disapproval of communism, the US made a policy of containment which prevented the Soviet Union and Soviet communism from spreading. Thus marking the beginning of the Cold War, which will last from 1947-1991....

...In the case of white collar crime, inner containment is the best explanation for white collar crime. Inner containment works to restrain them from deviance. Deviance is the fact or state of departing from usual or accepted standards, especially in social behavior. People who commit white collar crimes don’t have inner containment, which means that they cannot control their impulses and cannot resist the temptation to engage in deviant behavior. If someone lacks inner containment then this increases the likelihood that a person will engage in deviant and criminal behavior. Therefore since the person lacks inner containments they are more likely to commit white collar crime because they can’t control there impulses. For example if a person works for a bank and has no inner containment they will be more likely to take some of the money from the bank thinking that they’ll pay it back and no one will...

...The Cold War which lasted from 1947-1991 was waged around the policy of containment, the democratic idea to limit communism to the areas already under Soviet control. President Truman of the United States passed the Truman Doctrine whose foundation was in containment. America’s fear of communism was so great they implemented their policy across the globe. Throughout the Cold War, the United States never had physical confrontation with the Soviets, but America fought to end the spread of communism in China, Germany, Cuba, Guatemala, Korea, and Vietnam. The communist ideals of Karl Marx inspired revolutionaries in Russia, such as Vladimir Lenin, and his socialist reforms began to spread across Eastern Europe and Asia in the 1920s. Chinese...

...numerical values used, and discuss the issues which you would consider in applying acceptability criteria in developing and developed countries. (30 marks) 2. Figure 1 shows a schematic layout of the safety cooling system for the AP1000 pressurised water nuclear reactor. Figure 1. The reactor system is contained within a 'passive cooling' containment vessel (Figure 2) which is intended to provide natural and permanent cooling in the event of a loss of cooling event in the reactor loop. Figure 2 Containment vessel for AP1000 cooling A comprehensive description of the overall system is provided by Schulz (1) and is available on the University Mole system for CPE6001. A brief description of the safety cooling system would comprise the following : The safety system incorporates four sources of passive water management following a loss of coolant accident : - two accumulator vessels (ACC) provide high flow for several minutes - two core make-up tanks (CMT)provide moderately high flow for a longer period - an in-containment refuelling water storage tank (IRWST) provides lower flow for a much longer time - large scale recirculation containment for decay heat removal The ACC and CMT responses are activated by a significant drop in system pressure - activation devices are not dependant on AC power supplies, but on springs, stored pressure and batteries. Failure of heat removal from the reactor via the steam...

...Famine, war, and ultimate destruction is the theme for the 1950’s and 60’s. The us after world war 2 became aware of the soviet agenda to spread communism. This lead to a policy of containment. Which was the main reason for the cold war. The cold war unlike any other war was not fought with bullets but with word of mouth and how that can change the ideologies of country. The cold war lasted from 1945 till 1991 making it the longest conflict in us history. During the cold war the us tried to contain communism by providing aid , going to war, and political games of chicken. The us combated communism using airdrops full of critical supplies. In document B it describes how the us supported the democratic east berlin by sending supplies. This was done because of the soviet blockade of supplies to east berlin on June 27,1948, because it was completely surrounded by communist neighbors Airdrops were used to bring supplies such as food and coal this gave east berlin the supplies it needed to fight back communism. This combated communism by making it seem less attractive than a capitalist society....

...such an extent that health services and health insurance are becoming beyond the reach of the common man (annals.org, 2010). The three major influencing factors that have influenced the cost of health care services and made them inaccessible to the common man in the U.S. are: 1. Rapid diffusion of technologies: Technological advancements have been very rapid. Hospitals and health care providers have started using the most advanced technologies. A lot of money is invested in case of research and development of these technologies. They are extremely expensive, thus leading to an enormous increase in costs of treatments. For example, the cost involved in an intervention surgery has enormously increased due to the advent of laser treatments that require minimum intervention into the patient’s body (Pepine, 1999). 2. Absence of strong cost containment measures: The government is unable to fix a higher limit beyond which the costs cannot be hiked. This leads to a continuous increase in costs. There is not much standardization possible and every service provider is free to charge and include brand value and goodwill as well as overheads and facilities in his costs. Even if a...

...A1.Nature of the Incident An employee hacked into the human resource records system at the employee’s place of business and changed the employee’s base salary rate to obtain a pay raise. The employee did this by spoofing an IP address in order to eavesdrop on the network. Once the employee identified where the data was stored and how to modify it, the employee made the changes and received two paychecks with the new amount. IP Spoofing means, pretending to be something you are not. In Internet terms it means pretending to be a different Internet address from the one you really have in order to gain something. That might be information like credit card numbers, passwords, personal information or the ability to carry out actions using someone else’s identity. IP spoofing attack involves forging one's source address. It is the act of using one machine to impersonate another.Spoofing is an active security attack in which one machine on the network masquerades as a different machine. As an active attack, it disrupts the normal flow of data and may involve injecting data into the communications link between other machines. This masquerade aims to fool other machines on the network into accepting the impostor as an original, either to lure the other machines into sending it data or to allow it to alter data. The meaning of“spoof” here is not “a lighthearted parody,” but rather “a deception intended to trick one into accepting as genuine something that is actually false...

When problems occurred, run the proper action to eliminate the problem. However, often it turns out that the same problem appears again and usually in the most difficult moments - shipments to the customer . If the problem appeared again it indicates that the real cause is not resolved but only "heal" the problem temporarily, and his crux "cause" is not resolved . Sometimes the reason is defined the cause of the problem incorrect, and sometimes a lack of consequence in implementing such corrective action to prevent the same problem again appeared.

...Czechoslovakia (Feb) Berlin blockade begins (June) US relationship with Europe after WWII: * Truman was under pressure to adopt a more hard-line approach towards communism following Kennan’s Telegram and Churchill’s ‘Iron Curtain’ speech and the threat of communist takeover in Greece. * No suggestion that the US envisaged any long-term military or political entanglement in Europe beyond the time it took to establish political and economic reconstruction there. * Each side regarded the other as a threat to national security and being expansionist and a global strategic threat. * By September 1946 the emergence of the Cold War was seemingly irreversible. Why Truman introduced his Doctrine (first step containment?) * Keep the SU from aiding the Greek communist movement * Protect democracy and freedom in response to Soviet aggression and ideological expansionism in Eastern Europe * Demonise SU and Communism * Threaten and provoke USSR * Truman wanted a Cold War because that would justify the US’s role as a defender of the freedom and function as world power * Develop the US’s global economic power – if the US is protector, other sates would be militarily and economically dependent of the US – close trade relations. Truman emphasised in his doctrine the differences between Capitalism and Communism. The US would support ‘freedom’ through economic and financial aid, which was essential to stable and orderly political...

...system and that system will become more efficient and cheaper as RCA is performed Standards mandate it (Persse, 2006) ISO9001 - ISO17025 - CMMI In addition to making good business sense various standards mandate its use. In ISO9001 the sections on corrective and preventative action require an effective solution to problems. RCA is a proven effective method of problem solving. ISO17025 specifically calls for RCA and CMMI also requires an effective problem solving system. What it isn’t (Robitaille, The Corrective action handbook, 2002) It is not containment – like 8D It is not remedial – not a rework RCA does not deal with immediate problem containment as in step D3 of the 8D discipline. Similarly, a rework procedure does not address the root cause. Finding a root cause may take some time and both a containment action and/or a rework must be implemented while the search for the root cause occurs. DO NOT stop when you get a containment action deployed. When it may not work so well (Okes, 2009) Technology is new or unknown If the technology is new or under development then there may not be enough knowledge to suggest possible root causes. This does not mean that RCA won’t work but it will take longer to reach a root cause and the RCA will be more of a research project. System is very complex with a large number of variables If the system under analysis is very complex with a large number of...

...According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word containment can be described as an action of restraint or holding”. The word containment correlates with the word vaccine because vaccines were created to stop the spread of infectious diseases and contain outbreaks. Furthermore, the physical shape of vaccines was created to contain the disease inside the injection in order to be able to administrate it. There have been many successful vaccines created including the vaccines for Smallpox, Polio, and Measles. Moreover, there are still many infectious diseases that need to be contained and controlled; for example, Ebola. Even though vaccines help save lives every day, there are people that oppose the use of vaccines for fear that the vaccines...

...On January 5th of 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower stated that “International Communism, of course, seeks to mask its purposes of domination [ . . . ] by superficially attractive offers . . . ,” and if the spread of communism is not resisted gallantly and confidently, the entire world’s freedom will be endangered. In the book American Anthem: Reconstruction to the Present, Edward Ayers describes the Cold War as a time of great tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. Then in the Truman Doctrine, President Truman defines the policy of containment as prohibiting the spread of communism. Later, George C. Marshall created a plan to give economic aid to Europe to defend countries vulnerable to communism. Next, John Foster Dulles...
