...principles primary premise of CRM is that it does not matter where or how the loss occurs; the result is the same: decreased readiness, combat power, or mission effectiveness. there are five basic principles that provide a framework for implementing the CRM process. CRM is an integral part of mission and operation planning, preparation and recovery. it is not a separate add-on process. integrate into all phases of missions and operations. decisions about risk must be made at the appropriate level in the chain of command. commanders are required to establish and publish approval authority for decision making. this may be in a separate policy, specifically addressed in regulatory guidance, or it may be addressed in the commanders training guidance. approval authority for risk decision making is usually based on guidance from higher headquarters. army operations especiallu combat operations are inherently dangerous and complex. accept no level of risk unless the potential gain or benefit outweighs the potential loss. commanders, leaders and individuals can control risk and make informed decisions to balance that risk against mission benefits by integrating CRM into decision making missions and daily operations. protect soldiers at home and deployed. The Army intends to eliminate sexual assault in particular, and will work to change the Army culture in which it occurs. Missions that have unavoidable risks that may result in fatalities or injuries cannot always be avoided. do not...

...Eastman Kodak Company: Funtime Film Brief Case Report Diagnosis and analysis There were several issues that Kodak had to face in 1990s and I will emphasize a few of them. First, Kodak’s market share fell from 76% to 70% over a period of 5 years. That happened primarily due to film’s consumers being price-sensitive and preferring lower-priced films of Kodak’s competitors. Fuji and Polaroid, for example, enjoyed 15% growth in one year, while Kodak’s growth rate was only 3% during that same year. It is easy to see that consumers were provided with more options when it came to choosing film and since quality differences amount films were unclear, buyers based their preferences on price alone. Also, as soon as speculation arose about lowering a price on film, Kodak’s stock fell by 8% in value. Kodak was used to high gross margins; therefore, market’s expectation of leader’s lower prices and decreasing profits had a negative effect on its stock price and possibly even brand image. Second, Kodak faced stiff competition and the fact that Fuji was going after the US market. Fuji seriously differentiated itself from Kodak and grabbed consumers’ attention when it became the official film of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Kodak’s response to Fuji’s move towards market domination has not been very timely or effective. It took Kodak 10 years to react and attempt to reposition itself in 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Norway. In my opinion, it was too little too late. Fuji’s campaign...

...23 September 2015 Risks Worth Taking? A Reflection on the Effects of Memoirs The primary purpose of my research paper is to present a cross-section of the current conversations taking place around the way memoirs affect the writers who publish them. Based on my research, it appears that the effects tend to involve emotional and psychological consequences, as well as legal troubles in some instances. The discovery of this conversation helped me to refine my research topic into the question, “Do the benefits of publishing a memoir outweigh the risks of their effects for writers?” This research explores the positive and negative effects of memoirs on their writers to determine whether or not the risks are worth the rewards. Although writing a memoir can result in lawsuits and family discord, it more often proves to be therapeutic and can be the starting point of a nonfiction writer's career. What if I told you that memoirs are incredibly important to our society, because they document the human experience in such an honest way? Although they are valuable, they can also be risky. One key issue is that a memoir’s admissions risk causing major drama for writers, including legal trouble. In addition, they can be a catalyst for burning bridges with former employees. They can also potentially destroy long-term personal relationships. In this paper, I work to discover if it is worth all the drama to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. As I began my research...

...positioned to respond to the immediate world and the world at large with complete madness, as it seems the world at large is a world apart from society. The play explores the theme of madness through the convention of setting. The idea of an inside world and outside world is shown through the symbolism and paranoia of society. The dark, derelict burnt out theatre is a metaphor for the world at large, and the drama that is enacted on its charred surface is a reflection of the larger dramas taking place outside. The outside world is noticed to have fear about the spread of communism, the mass casualties and the war crimes, for example the massacre of civilians, the torture of people and the rape. Readers respond to the absolute madness at times with confusion, as it’s hard to understand what it means exactly to be ‘normal.’ This I often shown through the troubled vision of the ‘abnormal’ characters being perhaps saner than those outside of the institution. Another theme explored within the performance is madness of a play within a play. The insanity of putting on a sexist play in the 1970’s about love and fidelity during the period of the Vietnam War, with...

...and were on our way to Mt. Makiling for our NSTP Mobilization Program. The two hour drive from Manila to Los Baños, Laguna was actually pretty fun. The bus was full of laughter and I think everyone was excited for this program. We had arrived at our destination on 7:30AM. We first went to our designated tents to prepare our things and to rest for a bit. We then had our orientation about our assigned activities. On the first day we had team building and the dreaded obstacle course. We had team building first. We played ___________ where we had to make the ball roll continuously on a pipe and into a bucket. Of course, we had our game on and our competitive side had already shown but we still had fun while doing it. Next was the Minefield where all the team member must hold the big tarpaulin full of holes and we must keep 3 balls in it while it keep on moving in the tarpaulin without falling for a certain period of time or we must repeat again. It was actually really hard. We were so tensed and we kept on screaming every time a ball falls out. Our last game is called Helium Stick where we had a helium stick put over our index finger and we had to lower the stick without it leaving all our fingers. Sounds easy, Right? NO. It was actually really hard because the stick kept on floating on mid-air, pretty amazing yet annoying at the same time, but we made did it. Took us a while but we did it. The TEAM BUILDING activities proved that we can all work together as a team. We just need to...

...Bowles came through the front door and vanished into the volcano’s mouth [the parlor] with martinis in their hands… he saw their Cheshire smiles burning through the walls of the house, and now they were screaming at each other above the din.” (Bradbury 89). The absence of the items also takes away contact with nature from society. “‘Bet I know something else you don’t. There’s dew on the grass in the morning.’ He suddenly couldn’t remember if he had known this or not, and it made him quite irritable.” (Bradbury 7). Montag’s society is devoid of time and leisure to think, everything instantly thrown at you in a giant mass of information, nothing lasting in depth or for more than a short episode. “‘But with all my knowledge and skepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one-hundred-piece-symphony orchestra, full color, three dimensions, and being in and part of those incredible parlors.’” (Bradbury 80). The effect of lacking time to think is no one is able to reflect on memories, others, or especially themselves and how empty they are like the sieve and the sand. Since everyone is given instant gratification and so much meaningless information, sound, and images are constantly pumped into...

...Personal Narrative- Track Competition The moment of truth was upon me. The official times, this includes whom qualified for finals, for the 400m relay had been posted. My eyes scanned the page for the bold letters that spell ANDERSON. As I ran my finger across the page to where the times were posted, my ears began to shut out all outside noises, leaving me alone with the thump of my heart and the inhale and exhale of my lungs. Both began to increase in speed as my eyes narrowed in on the time. My sophomore year had begun and I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to do track this year. Last year I played football in the fall and soccer in the spring. Not really enjoying it, the decision was made to play " real futbol" (soccer) in the fall, leaving the spring sports season open. My friend kept telling me how fun track was, so I decided to give it a try. As the first meet neared, things were going well. I made it onto the 4x100 team making me the third fastest kid on the team. The other members of the relay were Jason Schmidt, Jeremy Willard and Rodney Schmidt. Jason and Jeremy were both the top dogs and Rodney and I were second from the bottom of the barrel. The 400 relay was my best event. We placed in every meet and even took home some medals as the season progressed. As the track year rounded for the home stretch, we had only three more meets to compete in: the Tiger Invitational, regionals, and state. As the Tiger rolled around, there arose a question...

...childhood. These people discover late in life that childhood was the time period where the most meaningful parts of life were. Things from our past don't just fade away, they are part of us, and most people greatly miss them weather they know it or not. My most meaningful place is my parents' house because it is a symbol of reliving my childhood, indulging in good times, and just plain feeling at home. Childhood is the time in life where personality traits are formed and memories haven't yet taken a sentimental feeling. Now that those times are gone, I remember running through the neighborhood with my friends and many other happy times where I knew I was having fun. The time my brother and I were playing hockey in my living room was fun. It was a friendly game, and we even had the cushions form the couch set up so nothing would get broken. Little did we know one stray puck would have us replacing drywall at 11:30 PM so our parents wouldn't see it, but, like everything else, we did it because it was enjoyment. My theory on life is, in order for something to be meaningful, you have to want it. I don't always want the irresponsible times of discovery that were my childhood back, but I do strive for the feelings I had toward life when I was there. Having a pleasant attitude all the time may not be possible this day in age, but I know it's a good feeling when you can. I can recall these memories at any time, but they are especially present when I am at my home. It's not just...

...its rapid increase of popularity and at the same time its useful benefits, it has been included in the list of subjects being taught. It helps a lot in such a way that makes the academe progressive and productive. In order to provide organized lessons and enjoyable class every meeting, the teachers have been planning and preparing topics every class and this is what we call lesson plan or syllabus. In elementary and high school education, every student are provided with sufficient books for reference. But in college, it is up to the instructors as to how they will provide enough resources for the students. Since college professors have more students and more subjects, they would have little time to give a good quality syllabus that their student would be interested and enjoys because they would be spending their time between preparing and checking quizzes, studying and researching topics for the class. Sometimes it would be difficult to consult the instructor for their consultation schedule since they would also be doing other things needed for their other class. Most of the time, students and teachers uses computer day and night, it would be a good idea to provide an online course syllabus for the students so they will understand more the lessons as well as provide them future lessons to have an advance study on it. Aside from that, it would be having an online interaction for the teacher and the students, and have an online fun and easy quizzes. Objectives The objective...
