...NATIONAL DEFENSE UNIVERSITY NATIONAL WAR COLLEGE NORTH KOREA: AN ARGUMENT TO JUMPSTART THE ECONOMIC ENGINE LIEUTENANT COLONEL JOHN D. BIRD II, USAF NATIONAL WAR COLLEGE CLASS OF 2007 COURSE 6300, SEMINAR K NON-MILITARY ELEMENTS OF STATECRAFT FACULTY SEMINAR LEADER: AMBASSADOR JAMES B. FOLEY FACULTY ADVISOR: COLONEL THOMAS GRIFFITH, USAF 29 NOVEMBER 2006 Bird 1 On October 8, 2005, North Korea detonated a nuclear device, and forever changed the global political landscape. Despite the best efforts of the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, and Russia, the isolationist regime was not deterred from joining the elite nuclear club.1 Now faced with the prospect of North Korean nuclear proliferation, the world is undoubtedly a more dangerous place to live in. Over the last 50 years, virtually all the instruments of national power have been brought to bear in an effort to solve the security dilemma presented by the North Korean regime. The detonation on October 8th suggests these previous strategies were not nearly effective enough. A nuclear armed North Korea presents a grave danger that should force us to reexamine our policy. This paper focuses on the economic instrument, examines how it has been utilized over the last 15 years in both the Clinton and Bush administrations, and offers some thoughts on a desired endstate of North Korean economic integration. The Context--the Fall of Communism The fall of the Berlin wall was a watershed event in man’s political, social, and economic...

...The PSA persuasive project Maddi and I chose to do was about stranger awareness taught in the Jumpstart community. Although there were a few issues that we experienced, we were prepared for them and overcame them. Starting this project, it took a couple days to figure out a topic that we were willing to put all this time into. I came up with the idea of centering our attention around children. Shortly after, we found the topic about stranger awareness. This was concerning that children should not be taught “Stranger Danger” instead, they should be alert of strangers. This means they should not be afraid to talk to someone if they are in need of help. Our next step for our project was figuring out how we were going to get our message across to the...

...The Benefits of Literacy In Germany and The United States of America Germany and the United States of America (USA) share common thoughts on the significance of a well rounded literacy education. Their approaches toward students’ gaining a literacy education are singular. Both countries are discovering the importance of the relationships between an early childhood education and a literacy education. Struggles are happening within each countries education system with the rise in population of Immigrants and poverty. Learning literacy skills to read symbols, numbers, alphabets, and words are necessary for individuals to live in any society. As you read further, you will learn of the importance and difficulties of attaining a literacy education for both Germany and the United States of America early childhood students. Every child that is born learns the first skills of literacy from their caregiver or parent. Children learn to speak by watching the adults around them. Miller (2007) believes these actions are part of cultural learning. (p. 18) Young infants are learning most of their behaviors unconsciously. Albert Bandura (cited in Boyd & Bee, 2006) defines the observation done by infants and children as observation learning or modeling. (p. 31) The first skills that are learned by children at home are the most important skills that help them become great students in the classroom. Literacy skills are not formed in the same manner as speaking. One does not learn to...

...This week we finally returned back into the classroom. As I previously mentioned in my other journals, we had been preparing for this moment for weeks and now the time had finally arrived. During the drive to the preschool my team members and I rehearsed our plan for the day and how we discussed how we would transition from one activity to the next. We all agreed that the best way to transition the children to a new activity would be by singing songs. For example, our first task was to read Oonga Boonga to the children and my team members and I agreed to sing a song called “it’s time to put the books away” to signal to the children that it is now time to end story time and to begin a new activity. As a reminder, Jumpstart sessions contain several...

...Cracking the Growth Code in IT-BPO Mergers As the market matures, consolidation can be the key to growth. Most IT-BPO companies in India have a focused M&A strategy to build growth momentum. But what will it take for these strategies to pay off? Cracking the Growth Code in IT-BPO Mergers 1 India has been the world’s dominant destination for information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO) services. However, as the market matures the industry has experienced a slowdown in growth, pushing IT-BPO providers toward focused M&A strategies to build and sustain growth momentum. Growth through M&A is now a core strategy influenced by the need to: • Fill gaps in service portfolios or geographic presence, to meet client demands and compete with the global majors; examples include Infosys’ acquisition of Lodestone to tap its European customer base, Wipro’s acquisition of Opus CMC to tap into its capabilities in high-end mortgage BPO, and Genpact’s acquisition of Triumph Engineering to bolster engineering capabilities • Manage cash reserves more effectively to meet shareholders’ expectations • Capture opportunities from client divestitures of services assets; examples include Cognizant’s acquisition of ING’s and CoreLogic’s captives, TCS’ and Wipro’s acquisition of Citigroup’s captives, and Tech Mahindra’s acquisition of Hutch BPO Done well, M&A strategies can help Indian players tap into $2 billion to $4 billion in revenues each year. Yet, about 70 percent of...

...to a presidential nomination. After two failed attempts for the nomination, Reagan was finally elected as his party’s nominee for the 1981 presidency. In the 1980 presidential election, Ronald Reagan won by a landslide in the electoral college and became the first actor in the white house. In Reagan’s political philosophy, he believed the government to be the problem, and he set up his famously known “Reaganomics” or better known as supply side economics. He believed that to get the economy to jumpstart that he would have to lower taxes, so the people could spend more money that would then be used to strengthen the economy. Another part of his philosophy was to cut government spending to help diminish the debt that America had with other countries. With all the fear of the Soviets during this time, Reagan upped the military budget, so America would be more protected from the Soviet threat. Reagan’s economic policies were known as “Reaganomics”, and they were in place to jumpstart America’s economy and end the recession that America was in. The first motion set in place to start off his presidency was to cut the taxes from seventy percent to fifty percent, and it would be later lowered twenty-eight percent. Reaganomics played a crucial role in getting America out of the 1980-1981 recession by bringing growth to the economy and lowering the rate of unemployment. His policies combined with his philosophy led the way out of the recession and helped many more, but with all...

...SWOT Analysis report for the Product of Jackie O’s This SWOT report is going to analyze the product point of Jackie O’s company, which is a bar and restaurant in Athens, Ohio. Jackie O’s is a specific and very local company in Athens, Ohio. In addition, Jackie O’s has two different locations in Athens: the Brewery and the Brewpub. The Brewery is manufacturing Jackie O’s own beer, and the Brewpub is selling beers that came from the Brewery. In addition, its objective is clear and simple: the hope is that everyone drinks beer from Jackie O’s company in Athens, Ohio. As a result, after our group did a simple survey, there are four parts that our team tried to analyze Jackie O’s company on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, because those can help our group get useful and helpful plan of how to make a recommendation for the Jackie O’s owner. Strengths In the aspects of products, the most important preponderance of Jackie O’s is its special products: beers. It is extraordinary, because Jackie O’s company has its own beer factory, the Brewery. The Brewery offers more than 34 types of beers, which comes from the Brewery of Jackie O’s. According to Brumfield (2012), Jackie O’s imported the new facility in the Brewery, that leads Jackie O’s to become a producing and marketing by oneself company in Athens, Ohio. Moreover, the brand of beer is very multitudinous, so there has three parts of beers: core beers, seasonal beers and imperial beers, which they offer for customers...

...We’re on Twitter time now. The official announcement, sealed with a Tweet of course, said simply, “We’ve confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO.” Not following the “jobs and growth” movement? You may have missed a newfangled way start-ups can start the process of raising money from the public — and create jobs and economic growth—with less regulation and much less paperwork. On April 5 of last year, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act or Act) became law in the U.S. Don’t let the rah-rah of the law’s title fool you. This law is all about making it much easier for private companies to access public capital with less muss, less fuss. The law also provides relief to certain companies, emerging growth company or EGCs, so they can go public on U.S. exchanges without providing as much information to investors as early in the process as they used to. All this easy access to investors’ wallets means some “radicals” accused lawmakers of trying to pull a fast one. Eliot Spitzer was blunt: “It shouldn’t be called the JOBS Act, it should be called the Bring Fraud Back to Wall Street Act.” EY is the global public accounting firm of choice to emerging social networking/social gaming companies such as Groupon, Zynga, and Facebook as well as veteran technology and media companies such as Google, HP, News Corp, and Oracle. Twitter’s auditor is probably EY, given EY’s market dominance in the Silicon Valley emerging growth tech environment and EY’s...

They became tied to the land and became to rely on their crops and the growth of them.This caused for permanent settlements and stopped people from roaming and grazing. This settlement, led to the development of job specialization, complex political structures, non-portable possessions, architecture, and the rise of industry and commerce. The second agricultural revolution went along with the industrial revolution. This revolution happened from 1700 to 1900. The industrial revolution was a time of new machines and factories.
