...that no one trusts more. One may think that a country is a country and there is nothing more to it. If something sells in just one store it is bound to be the next best thing country wide. This is a huge misconception, and a naïve way to do business. There are 26 separate cantons within Switzerland, with numerous separate economies, and what one may like, their neighbor may despise. As of July 2006, the Swiss population was estimated to be 7,523,934, with 68.1% being between the ages of 15 and 64 (Internationalist). All of which have different tastes, cultures, norms, and to say the least, speak a dialect of the five languages that inhabit the country. For the most part the population makes a similar salary as those in the United States. For example a person in an apprenticeship position has a salary between CHF40’000 and 80’000, and a person in lower management has a salary of CHF120’000 and 250’000 (Economy). Now one may be wondering, “What is a CHF?” Just as the ‘$’ represents the American dollar, the CHF signifies the Swiss Franc. The exchange rate for a Swiss Franc is CHF1.25 equals one American dollar (The Internationalist). The above figures would be calculated as: CHF40’000 / 1.25 =...

...Fireweed Skye Brannon ”Fireweed” is a short story written by Skye Brannon, and takes place in the United States. The main character is Baluta, or his alias, Joel. Baluta lives with his brother and his sister-in-law. They are refugees from the civil war in Liberia. They do not have a lot of money, and you can see that by the description of the car that Baluta is driving; ”The old Camero had so many holes in its body, the attempts at duct-tape patchwork had been abandoned, and Baluta heard the wind whistle through them as he drove through the ghettos of his neighborhood”. Here we also see that they live in a ghetto, which confirms that they do not have a lot of money. Also they do not have a lot of warm water, because there is only cold water left after Baluta’s brother and his sinster-in-law have taken a shower, which again show us there are poor. In the text there are two stories, the current time of Baluta’s life, and his memories from Liberia. Right in the start we are told that Baluta often have these “remembering days”, where many memories hit him. We can see that he has these days regularly; “Sometimes remembering began later in the day. But not today.” The current time story is told chronological, with interruption of his memories from Liberia. As soon as he sees something that reminds him of his former life, the memories hit him. For example just that he sees a pond, makes him think of when he and his sister caught fish in a pond as kids in Liberia. His memories of...

...Running Head: JAMES REASON'S SWISS CHEESE THEORY James Reason's Swiss Cheese Theory [Name of the Writer] [Name of the Institution] James Reason's Swiss Cheese Theory Introduction The model of Swiss cheese is a model of accident causation which is used risk management and its analysis in system of healthcare, aviation, and engineering. Swiss Cheeses Model compares human system to Swiss cheese slices. The slices are piled together with one another. Basically it was founded in 1990, by James T. Reason, a British psychologist of University of Manchester. The model gained wide acceptance and has been used by healthcare industry, emergency services organizations, aviation industry, and safety industry since it was developed. It is also known as cumulative act effect. According to a survey, in most of the cases, there can be four levels of failure for an accident: unsafe supervision, unsafe act of themselves, organizational influence, and preconditions for unsafe acts. James T. Reason, in his Swiss Cheese Model developed defenses of organization against the failure and represented barriers as slices of Swiss cheese. And individual weaknesses are shown by the holes in the slices as part of the system, and all holes are different in position and sizes in those slices. The failure of the system occurs when holes in slices simultaneously align in aggregate, giving permission, as James Reason's said “a trajectory of accident opportunity", so that in...

...production in Q2, the chips must be transferred by air. TRANSFER STARTING CAPITAL TO AREA(S) Plants you build in your operating Area(s), variable manufacturing cost (cash part), any methods improvement, advertising, the cash part of any goods bought from Nippon (see below), plus any other expenses incurred in the Area all call for transfer of adequate starting capital from Home Office (HO) to the area. Use your budgeting spreadsheet to ensure you transfer enough capital into each area. Advice: do not count on any sales revenue in Q1 - let it be the desirable “cushion”. To transfer the requisite start-up funds fill out Form A3 (you need one A3 form for each area where you are active!). The simplest approach is to transfer Swiss Francs and use the automatic conversion function. In the first column, indicate: F (transfer from HO to area)...

...Final Assignment June 13, 2011 Part I: 1. Wills are important because. 4. Many people may not understand how a credit score is calculated Part II Analyzing effective writing elements After reading paragraphs one and four there is little difficulty to identify that paragraph number four was more effective than paragraph number one. Of the two Paragraphs four presented facts and percentages in his paper such as. “Payment history accounts for roughly 35% of one’s overall score. This means that on-time payments are absolutely essential. Debt level is not far behind at 30%. This accounts for near-limits and the total amount of money owed. Length of credit history is next at 15%, followed by inquiries at 10% and mix of credit at 10%.” Paragraph four’s sentence structure and word choice were in line with the text and punctuation was good. Paragraph one had only the writer’s personal view on why Wills are important. More facts and general example would have kept me more engaged in what I was reading in paragraph one. The sentences used by the write could also have given a better description of what the “things going to someone you don’t want them to go to” are?
