...reinforcement of the rules regarding how everyone must descend from the Summit by 2:00pm. In addition, the two lead individuals of the expedition, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer were very confident in their ability to bring their clients to the summit. During this adventure, early on, there were obvious issues and signs, such as health issues amongst clients, warning signs of possible bad weather conditions during hike to summit, which they ignored. Moreover, these signs and interruptions lead everyone to believe that there was a possibility, that they would not make a safe return during their descend from the summit. My main concern about this venture was how they both were responsible for everyone getting on top of the summit and failed at taking heed to the warning signs at based camp. Although Hall and Fischer hired all types of individuals they still needed to find out to make sure that everyone that was on this venture was capable to go up to the summit and in good health. In the end both Hall and Fisher lost their lives helping others and still left their clients to survive on their own. Clients that were upon this expedition had concerns but his only concern that he would possibly have to save somebody else during his hike to the summit. They both lost their lives doing just that. Hall clients arrived at base camp with respiratory and digestive ailments while Fisher had logistical problems. Normally when you have issues like this from the start it’s would have been...

...management plan in place. Unfortunately for BP, the company never acknowledged any real risk of a Deepwater oil spill. Thus, BP did not appear to have any related response plan in place. As they previously sought to expand Deepwater oil exploration, along with the rest of the oil industry, BP categorized a Deepwater spill as decidedly unlikely and claimed that if such a spill occurred, the industry was equipped to promptly mitigate any damage (Getz, 2011). Unfortunately for all stakeholders, on April 26, the US Coast Guard acknowledge that there was in fact a major oil leak; and approximated 1000 barrels of oil were leaking into the surrounding ocean. By BP not having a crisis management plan (or even an issues management plan) was a sure sign that this crisis would surely...

...his own vulnerability, he might have recognized warnings around him which foreshadowed his assassination. One of the warnings, which was very important, was Artemidorus’ letter which contained names of all conspirators. This takes place in Act III scene i lines 5-10. Caesar ignored this warning by refusing to read Artemidorus’ letter, because he wanted to read it last, as he says “What touches us ourself shall be last serv’d.” The second warning that he ignored was Calphurnia’s (his wife’s) dream about Caesar’s blood upon the Capitol (Act II scene ii). After he received this warning, at first he decided not to go, but then Decius came and changed his mind by interpreting the dream such a way that seems to be good. Decius said those bloods and all mean that great Rome regards you as its lifeblood. Therefore, Caesar changed his mind and decided to go to the Senate House. As you see the warnings were all around Caesar and he just had to listen to others. The last warning that I found in the play were fortune-tellers. Before Caesar goes to Senate House, he asked soothsayers and fortune-tellers about it, and they advised him not to go out on that day (Act II scene ii). This is what they said: “Opening up the innards of a sacrifice, they couldn’t find a heart inside the beast.” From these warnings, and assassination of Caesar, we conclude that Caesar was proud of himself, believing himself as eternal as the North Star. Through the play, we find out that he is unable to separate...

...In fact, mental health is seen as a big factor for the majority of the other fatal school shootings as well, however, unlike Parkland, the warning signs weren’t always quite as obvious. For example, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the shooter of Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe Texas on May 18th 2018, was described as “an introvert who had given off few warning signs” (Fernandez 2) who had a pretty clean record, meaning that he “had no history of arrests or confrontation with law enforcement”(Fernandez 31). He even mentioned “that not only did he want to commit the shooting, but he wanted to commit suicide after the shooting” (Fernandez 34). The fact that he was considering suicide shows that he was most likely severely depressed as well and could have desperately needed mental health care, even though his warning signs were not as noticeable. As many have gathered from this, this could be showing how much mental health care availability in schools is needed. Additionally, while more school counseling programs and opportunities for students to reach out about their mental health should help, there has also been other challenges presented along with this, such as the fact that “Researchers who study the impact of mental illness...

...Research Paper Target Security Breach Abstract In late 2013 Target Corporation’s network encountered a security breach in which millions of credit cards and customer personal information was stolen by malware that was installed onto their network. This information was to be sold on the black market to others for their illegal use. Target Corporation was indeed made aware that there was some peculiar activity within the network before the information was stolen. Their million dollar malware software, monitored by FireEye, picked up on the attack several days before any information was removed from the Target Corporation servers. Target Corporation could have easily prevented the majority of the attack and reduced if not eliminated the amount of credit cards and personal information that was stolen. The fact that Target Corporation was warned of the initial breach, as well as an additional breach, and did not respond for two weeks is unfathomable and unethical. The Target Corporation has a duty to secure any and all credit card and personal information that they collect from their customers. I believe that in this case Target Corporation did not act accordingly and should be held liable. Target Corporations lack of response and inability to take action goes against all ethics and how the situation should have been handled. Target Security Breach In mid 2013 Target Corporation hired a security firm, FireEye, to install a malware...

...This theme gets further analyzed through the character Aylmer. Aylmer is a science man who thinks of himself as a kind of higher power, this is known through to the numerous times he speaks of his remarkable powers. However, even with Aylmer’s great powers he still seems to struggle when operating on his loved one. The difficulties that Aylmer runs into when trying to remove his wife’s birthmark only cause him to crave its disappearance more. Aylmer becomes so obsessed with removing his wife’s single flaw that he is prepared to do whatever it takes. Nathaniel Hawthorne explains that “It was not unusual for the love of science to rival the love of woman in its depth and absorbing energy”( ). Hawthorne is saying that it isn’t uncommon for a scientist like Aylmer to become blinded by his own obsession. Unfortunately this caused Aylmer to miss all the warning signs and when “The birthmark” finally faded from Georgiana’s cheek, her soul faded away with...

...I know it is extremely difficult to read warnings on basically any product out there. Companies make safety hazards so strict it makes me want to vomit. For example, on trampolines, “only one person on the trampoline at a time, more than one can result in serious injury or even death.” News flash people, no one listens. But why should anyone listen to that daunting, fun ruining, party pooping, bologna companies come up with. I learned my lesson about disregarding those signs when I was approximately (not for sure) four years old as I witnessed what felt like the tragic horror of my thumb being cut to where it is only a dangling remanence of skin.. When I was four years old I, like any other child, had to always be in the presence of my parents. So, how could I say no to a free ride on a lawn mower with dear Dad? The warning says no one should sit on the hood, at least I’m going to call it a hood because I know nothing about lawn mowers, but who even gives an instant of thought to a warning label on really anything? This of course was not the first time I ignored one’s warning label. Who doesn’t love being bounced on the trampoline by someone else? Also, I ride on the hood of the lawn mower every time my dad mows, I loved to get dirty, seeing the...

...towered over us as we walked towards the house. The house glared at us, I had unwanted feeling as if the house wanted us to retreat. But I ignored the signs and continued. As we got to the porch we saw a timeworn door. We pushed the door and it creaked open, the big rusty hinges holding onto it for dear life. The cold breeze punched my face. We found ourselves in the hallway. All the furniture was covered in white sheets. The floor had a massive old red dirty carpet spread across the hall like butter. The wallpaper was hanging off the walls; revealing long jagged cracks. Glancing up my eyes were drawn to the huge gilt edged chandelier that was hanging precariously from the ceiling. it was the only thing that made the house look better. Without warning I heard the floor boards creak upstairs, the hair prickled up my neck like a cat with a scare. I had a feel we weren’t alone in the house. My heart was beating faster than a cheetah. I felt in an awkward position as I couldn’t go outside and I didn’t want to be inside. There was a weird smell. It smelt like the house was rotting. The house was damp and mouldy, it was slowly deteriorating. We both headed for the kitchen then in a flash we fell through the floorboards and landed in a pitch black basement. I was scared. I think I was having a nervous breakdown. Where did Jake go? I sure he fell with me. I found a light switch a turned it on I gazed in horror as I looked around the walls were covered in blood weapons sharp deadly...

...extremely useful and informative read. It gives valuable advice about how to act upon human intuition, how to recognize threats, and defines what real fear is and it’s purpose. I found the book to be extremely interesting. This book provided me with a sense of understanding on violence and fear and I feel much better prepared when it comes to recognizing dangerous situations. My favorite part of the book was the warning signs to know when a stranger is a potential threat. This was fascinating to me because I’ve been told since I was just a little boy to beware of strangers. But with all these warnings about strangers I had never been told how to recognize when a stranger was being genuinely helpful and friendly, or trying to harm me in any way. I found some of the warning signs intriguing such as a method called Forced Teaming. Stranger’s use forced teaming to create a sense of trust. They team themselves together with their victim by saying “we” and making it seem like they’re closer than they really are to their victims by pairing them together. Other warning signs were fairly obvious such as Discounting The Word No. This means that the stranger won’t leave when you ask him to. However, something I did learn by reading about this was that if you let the stranger get away with discounting the word no just once you have given them control. They feel as if you are weak and can be easily convinced. The proper thing to do is to stick to your No, don’t negotiate. Be stern and show...

...EXPLAIN THE MAIN CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS, AND IF YOU WERE THE MANAGER OF A COMPANY HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS THESE. An accident is an unplanned and uncontrolled event with a potential to cause injury, damage, death and or any other loss. The Wikipedia, Free encyclopedia describes an accident as a specific, unpredictable, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, with no apparent and deliberate cause but with marked effects. From this definition it implies a generally negative outcome which may have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence. It is therefore imperative that people look for root causes of accidents than tend to look for things to blame when accidents occur. Statistical research has shown that 88% of all workplace related accidents are caused by unsafe acts, 10% of accidents are caused by unsafe conditions while the remaining percentage of 2 % is a result of providence or natural causes. The statistics clearly shows that accidents can be prevented and the ultimate losses can be minimized. It is a matter of individual and collective responsibility. UNSAFE ACTS Unsafe acts cause more than four times as many accidents as unsafe conditions. This clearly shows that people have more to fear from their own actions than any other job hazards around them. People deliberately expose themselves to injury and or death mainly where they perform...

...Depression, which was initially called melancholia is a mental health disorder characterized by constant depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life. It is the most common mental illness amongst adults, but, it can affect people of every age. Depression was discovered by an ancient Greek Physician named Hippocrates. Hippocrates is considered one the most outstanding figure in the history of medicine. He suggested that personality traits and mental illness were related to imbalanced body fluids called humors. The four humors were yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and blood. He also thought that depression was caused by too much black bile in the spleen. Hippocrates discovery faded and the Romans believed that depression was caused by demons and the anger of the Gods. Eventually doctors returned to Hippocrates discovery. There are many signs and symptoms of depression but, a few are persistent sad mood, feelings of hopelessness, loss of interest in hobbies, and thoughts of death or suicide. If people have been experiencing these symptoms every day for at least two weeks they may be suffering from depression. It does not just...
