...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...

...Department: Student Community Services Contact: Phone: 7634 E-mail: hiram@acme.edu Request Type: __(__ New System ____ Enhancement ____ Error Correction Description: The Office of Student Community Services (OSCS) provides assistance to non-profit agencies in the community. OSCS serves as a facilitator that matches students that wish to perform community service with agencies that need labor for their events. Typically, agencies will conduct numerous events during the academic year and need multiple people to participate in each event. Likewise, a student, who may belong to one or more student organizations, will usually engage in several events from different agencies throughout the year, and could work on multiple occasions at the same event. However, a student will only work at a specific event once on a single day. A given event is sponsored by only one agency. Currently all OSCS records on these activities are kept in Excel spreadsheets, but this approach has become unwieldy as the popularity of OSCS’s services has increased among agencies and student organizations. At this point we need to better automate this record keeping. As the first phase of this task we would like to have a database created that will allow us to store all of the relevant data on the student organizations, students, agencies, events, and match-ups that our office coordinates. The following are lists of the data that we would like to store: For Student Organizations ...

Student Job Allocation Services (“SJAS”) does this by matching accounting students from universities around Sydney who have a credit average with well-respected firms for relevant work experience on a part-time basis. The students receive a scholarship which covers university fees and does not interfere with international students’ visa restrictions. Upon graduation, the employer will offer them a full-time contract. SJAS has a competitive advantage in the marketplace by focusing on service differentiation for a niche market, catering for accounting students only. Our main rivals include; newspaper and internet classifieds, UNSW/UTS Co-op Scholarships and Sydney Talent. Unlike these services, SJAS only selects high achieving students from accounting majors, rather than straight from high school or any student applying for a job. Employers will prefer the SJAS program as the student stays with the company for at least one year rather than rotating...
