...ARMY AVIATION OPERATIONS IN LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT Introduction “Foot slogging” by infantrymen has been most important and fundamental to address an insurgency; however, there are limitations to their mobility. To increase their versatility, the Portuguese introduced two contrasting means, the helicopter and the horse. While there were other, more conventional solutions to the mobility problem, such as trucks, jeeps, and light armored cars, these vehicles required at least crude roads, had other terrain limitations, and were vulnerable to land mines. The advent of the helicopter and its application in counter-insurgency began with the British in Malaya on 1 April 1950, with the formation of the Far East Casualty Air Evacuation Flight at Seletar with strength of three Westland S-51 Dragonfly helicopters. During the Malayan Emergency the British used their helicopters primarily for casualty evacuation and later for airlifting troops. Question that looms ahead for the future, no matter what the outcome in Jammu and Kashmir, and North Eastern States, is how the army aviation succeeds against fierce insurgency in strategy and capabilities. The Taliban’s resurgence, tenacious resistance against NATO forces in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda’s ability to elude United States forces, and the trouble Israel has had in trying to subdue violence in tiny Southern Lebanon (Hezbollah) and tinier Gaza (Hamas) deepen concern that even world’s finest militaries have problems against any kind...

...Nikki Vanessa V. Novales July 20, 2012 # 2012-42443 PI 10 E2-6R Rizal: Hidden Beneath The Surface A Reaction Paper On “Bayaning 3rd World” “Who is Rizal?” If you ask this question to any Filipino, they will most likely say, “He is our national hero” Or “He’s the person stamped on our 1-peso coin”. But is that all he really is? The movie “Bayaning 3rd World” is about two film makers trying to make a movie about Rizal. They found out, however, that this would not be an easy task, for their subject is a very complicated man. Rather than focusing on a single issue about Rizal, they decided to make a detective story about Rizal being the country’s national hero. They tackled several issues but focused mainly on Rizal’s retraction and Josephine Bracken. The movie was meant to be educational, but unlike most documentaries, “Bayaning 3rd World” is definitely not boring. The documentary was presented in a comical way, so that viewers of all ages would be able to understand it and grasp its meaning. I was confused at first because I didn’t know what the “Retraction Controversy” was and the two film makers started having these long conversations about it without explaining it to the viewers. But when I found out what it was all about, following the flow of the story became easy. Another controversy that arose was about Josephine Bracken, on whether she and Rizal were married or not. It was implied that if they were indeed married, then Rizal retracted...

When you take on the word management in the classroom it definately takes on a whole new meaning. In the classroom management means to be organized, have a plan that is already written out, an idea, direction or a course of action that you as the teacher want to take on. The classroom will be neat, safe, and the teacher should always have something going on for the students. Discipline is always misunderstood for classroom management. Discipline is not punishment and many people think it is. "This is a pathway to guide people towards self-control in the future and the outcome of discipline should not be used as the fear of authority" (Charles, 2008, p. 7). Classroom discipline should be appropriate for students functioning at any and all stage. This will enecourage good...

...Discipline and Management Comparison Grand Canyon University EDU 536 – Encouraging Academic Success through Classroom Management August 4, 2013 There are many different variations from many different publications that attempt to define discipline and management, as well as behavior and misbehavior and many experts have discussed how each should be defined and compared. There have been many books published on the subject of classroom discipline (Butchart, 1995). Charles suggests in the text, Building Classroom Discipline, many different strategies that can be used in the classroom regarding discipline (Charles, 2011). The dictionary Merriam-Webster defines discipline as punishment or control gained by enforcing obedience or order. Many different experts weigh in on how classroom discipline factors in with classroom management. Classroom management and discipline seem to work together in each being a key component of each other. According to the text, a teacher must find a system of discipline that works for their classroom. The text also suggests that discipline has 3 goals, productive learning environments are established, students become more responsible, and it promotes overall civility of the total class (Charles, 2011). And that discipline approach should be organized to fit your students needs for your particular classroom. This discipline approach should allow for effective management of the classroom, thus preventing wasted...

...Low Crime Counties Group Assignment Part 1 MGMT 650 UMUC February 05, 2012 Team 4: STAT Team Tezra Hamilton James R. Johnson Bholi Lamba Patricia S. Miller Introduction: Team STAT created a map that highlights high crime and low counties in the state of Texkansahomatucky per the Justice Department’s request. We were given county names, populations, area size, code, and the number of occurrences of seven different types of crime. We used the data provided to divide the counties into high crime and low crime areas in addition to creating a color coded map of the state based on our findings. Metrics Used: 1. Calculation of population per square (sq.) mile a. Individual county population/area(sq. mi) 2. Crime variable analytics a. Calculated each crime on a sq. mile basis for all counties (ex. murder per sq. mile = murder/population per sq. mile). b. Calculated the average of each crime using “crime per sq. mile” data. c. Calculated “total crimes” for all counties based on crimes per sq. mile. d. Sum of all crime averages (13.96) was used as a median to determine high and low crime areas. Results: High crime counties (crime total of 13.96 and above): Kern, Kent, York, Cook, Lake, Knox, Ray, Lane, and Webb. Low crime counties were (crime total 13.95 and below): Lee, Bell, Pike, Ida, Clay, Cass, King, Bay, Kane, Nye, and Jay Justification: At first glance, one would tend to assume that highly...

...Investigación de Spanglish Para este reporte escrito, voy a investigar el cambio de los códigos entre español e inglés, típicamente conocido como "Spanglish". Este tema me interesa porque soy parte del pequeño porcentaje que habla spanglish. Cada día, estoy rodeada por aquellos que lo hablan. Lo escucho en la escuela, el trabajo, y especialmente en la casa. Spanglish es algo normal para mí, pero aquellos que no están familiarizados con el dialecto lo encuentran como una majadería. Para ayudar a educar a los demás, voy a explicar lo que es el spanglish y si sólo hay un tipo. ¿Qué es el "Spanglish"? Sabemos el concepto básico de "Spanglish" que es el cambio de las lenguas de español y de inglés en una frase, oración o conversación. Para tener una mejor comprensión, el spanglish se refiere genéricamente a la influencia del inglés en el comportamiento lingüístico de los hispanohablantes en los Estados Unidos. La estructura de spanglish se divide en 3 subdivisiones: 1) la adaptación de las unidades léxicas de una lengua a la otra en un fonológico y morfológico; 2) la adaptación de algunos elementos léxicos de una lengua a otra semánticamente; y 3) el fenómeno de cambio de los códigos (Rothman and Rell, 2005). Unos ejemplos de estas subdivisiones son los préstamos de palabras como ‘super-marketa’, ‘babi-siter’, ‘lunchear’, etc. Aunque el spanglish era el puente que unió a la comunidad latino a los Estados Unidos, hablantes de inglés criticaron que el spanglish era jerga y un peligro...

We will carefully examine each of these problems in hopes of uncovering the truth. There are two major questions to be answered in this paper. Are the historical problems actually problems or just misunderstandings and do these affect the message we received from the book of Daniel? BACKGROUND AND MESSAGE: It is...

INTRODUCTION II. EVALUATING THE TYPES OF EVIL III. ATHEISTIC AND SKEPTICAL ARGUMENT IV. FREE-WILL THEODICY V. POSSIBLE WORLDS VI. THE ALTERNATIVE APPROACH VII. CONCLUSION VIII. BIBLIOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION Evil is a universal problem with many categories. Philosophers like David Hume and Alvin Plantinga have attempted to explain the presence of evil despite there being a God. One can choose from many theodicies on moral and natural evil. Lately work has shifted to the notion of gratuitous evil. If gratuitous evils exist, is God morally responsible? Gratuitous evil and natural evil appears to bring the most plausible charge that something malevolent has occurred. This paper will critique various arguments concerning evil. Biblical Theology will show that the arguments are missing a key to understanding evil. EVALUATING THE TYPES OF EVIL The complexity involved in addressing evil persuades us to define what is meant by natural and moral evil. It is noted, by Steven Layman, that the distinction between natural and moral evil is not always sharp. It is Erickson who provides very distinctive...
