...The intent of the paper is to inform the reader of the Bailey bridge and how it impacted the World War II. In doing so, the research provides evidence to support the claim that the bridge design was a very effective use of technological engineering. While the main purpose was to help militant troops transport their machinery, the bridge still serves as a useful tool for many other natural disasters. The Bailey bridge During World War II, heavy machinery was used to transport from one location to another. The bridges could not withstand the drastic weight. Soldiers needed something to transport their machines over rivers and ravines. Thus, the Bailey bridge was created. Named after Sir Donald Bailey, Britain’s Royal Engineers designed the Bailey bridge in 1940....

...The Buffalo Creek Disaster Seeing family members die before your eyes is unimaginable. Seeing family members die when maybe you could have saved them, has to be a nightmare. Understanding that nothing you did, caused this horrible event to happen, is hard to let go. Gerald M.Stern writes the story of The Buffalo Creek Disaster, how a coal cleaning impoundment dam burst, killing 125 people injuring more than 1000 and causing over 4000 people to be homeless. Stern describes victims losing family members before their eyes, and the devastation caused by the flood. The writer also describes the causes of the disaster, and action he and his legal team team took on behalf of the victims, because it was, “the right thing [to do]” (21). This story tells how Stern and his colleagues worked as a team, made their way through the US legal system, and find justice for the victims. “One [Saturday] morning in February [26th] 1972… A coal company’s massive coal-refuse pile…collapsed without warning…killing 125 people mostly women and children” (Prologue). This horrible event captured the nation’s attention. Filmed news reports showed the black water rushing through the canyon that paralleled buffalo creek in the State of West Virginia. The high waters washed houses, people, telephone poles, rubbish, irreplaceable personal possessions and keepsakes away forever. Stearns an attorney, had helped with the civil rights struggle in the 1960’s and wanted to help the flood victims recover from the...

...Teaching Strategy Research Paper Exploring Scaffolding Section | Page | | | The Literature and a Look at How Scaffolding Works | 2 | Research and Theory | 6 | Opinion | 11 | References | 13 | Elvani Pennil EDUC 0500A Adolescent Learning and Development Prof. H. J. Hartman November 21, 2002 The Literature and a Look at How Scaffolding Works True learning occurs when information is integrated into an individual’s knowledge base (Hogan and Pressley, 1997). According to Graves and Braaten (1996), scaffolding is defined as the process by which an expert provides temporary support to learners to “help bridge the gap between what [the learner] know[s] and can do and what [he or she] need[s] to accomplish in order to succeed at a particular learning task” (p. 169). Upon completion of this task, a learner is better able make the connection between prior knowledge and new information. Scaffolding helps this happen by allowing the teacher to interact with the student by asking leading questions and providing information in order to help students discover the information they need to successfully complete a task (1996). Scaffolding is important because the “temporary and adjustable structure” provided by the expert allows a student to complete a task that would have been impossible to complete without the scaffold’s support (1996). However, part...

B. M., Senior Lecturer in Management, Department of Management, Faculty of Management and Commerce, South Eastern University of Sri Lanka, Oluvil. Velnampy.T, Professor and Dean/Management Studies & Commerce, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, ABSTRACT There are two case studies. First case is Royal Hand Loom (RHL) which has a single weaving factory. The second case is AAA Hand Loom (AAAHL) which has eight weaving factories. Research objective is to apply the Human Resource Planning Model -HRPM- for RHL and AAAHL introduced by Walker and Dyer (1980). 9 weaving factories falling in two cases have also been selected as sample size by systematic sampling method. Data were obtained using secondary data collection method via historical sales force data. A shortage of human resources of RHL would be 8 and 12 and that of AAAHL would be 103 and 182 on both individual territory base and total territory base. RHL and AAAHL can plan its action to bridge the gap identified by short term solutions like an increased overtime -OT-, hiring of temporary sale people and long term solutions like recalling, retraining and hiring of permanent sales people.

...Abstract We live and work in a world that is constantly changing which drives today’s organizations to embrace a philosophy of hiring people that can lead employees through change in order to survive. Companies are forever changing due to internal and external forces such as, new technologies, competition, new ideas, profitability expectations, new leadership, and employee turnover. Organizations expect leaders to be a catalyst for change, therefore, the leader cannot afford to stick his or her head in the sand whenever change is occurring and hope the situation will quietly pass them by. Learning to manage high-velocity change is one of the most important leadership skills for a person to master for themselves, their employees, and the organization. What Leaders Need To Know About Managing Change Many of the changes that occurred in the last 18 months were unpredictable, or at least unpredicted, like the crash of the housing market, the collapse of numerous home mortgage and lending institutions, the near meltdown of the big-three U. S. automakers, and the millions of unemployed workers. The implication of the unpredictable nature of change for organizations is clear: although in many cases they may not be able to anticipate change, they can always be fast adapters (Lawler, et al., 2006). In uncertain and rapidly changing environments, organizations are challenged to accomplish two often-conflicting objectives: performing well against a current set of environmental...

...loaded with 9,000 gallons of gasoline or would the same person be safer transporting a loaded trailer of transuranic (TRU) waste? Therefore, transporting any commodity can be as safe as the driver transporting the commodity or the opposing traffic makes the situation. With the continued controversy over the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site, the Department of Energy (DOE) has continued to transport transuranic (TRU) waste from different sites around the U.S. to the world’s first repository for radioactive waste. This paper will explain what the WIPP site does and where WIPP is located. Will explain the birth of the program and why. Will explain what TRU waste is. Will explain what the process of disposal is from birth to the grave. Will show what the public has to say about the program. Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is the world's first underground repository licensed to safely and permanently dispose of TRU waste left from the research and production of nuclear weapons. After more than 20 years of scientific study, public input, and regulatory struggles, WIPP began operations on March 26, 1999. Located in the remote Chihuahuan Desert of Southeastern New Mexico, about 30 miles east of Carlsbad, NM, project facilities include disposal rooms mined 2,150 feet underground in a 2,000-foot thick salt formation and have been stable for more than 200 million years. TRU waste is currently stored at sites nationwide. WIPP is the nation’s solution for permanently disposing...

...recreational legalization. Currently, 23 states have marijuana legal in either recreational use, medical use, or both (“State Marijuana Laws Map”). So where should we stand on this marijuana dilemma? Are there benefits to legalization? Is the drug actually harmful or does it have medical benefits? Marijuana is a non-harmful substance, with numerous benefits available and should be legalized on a national level. Whether or not marijuana has any true medicinal value has been debated vigorously for decades now. In recent years the FDA has approved some medicinal use of marijuana in patients. However, the FDA hasn’t approved a full-blown go ahead for marijuana, due to lack of research on the potential risks. These risks include: altered senses, impaired memory, impaired body movement, all of which being temporary. Marijuana is generally accepted in the medical field to have medicinal...

...facilitates human’s thinking ability. The more diverse tools are used the more open thinking become. Evolution of tools describes how people’s thinking is changed by tool use, and how thinking becomes increasingly complex and systematic. Tool evolved from tangible tools, for example hammer, rope, bottle, to intangible tools, like academic theories, thinking techniques, and etc. Between these two extreme pole, there are some medium segments exist, such as Internet and other kind of technology. Tools improve productivity, they help people to expand in spaces and gain creativity, but some specific tools might constrain people’s thinking, and become an obstacle which rejects progress of thinking. Purpose of writing this paper is to illustrate how tool produce and too use facilitate people’s thinking, and this process will starts from material-based thinking, and then go into abstract thinking. Considering the historical fact of tool use, there will have a lot of archaeology or evolution knowledge involved. Moreover, all of these evidences will provide a powerful support for the main idea of this article. Entity of tool use in humankind In natural world, tools are not only used by humanities, they are also used by animal species.

...question that recruitment and selection are key strategic domains in HRM. At the same time, recruitment and selection also have an image problem. First, recruitment and selection are often viewed as ‘old’ ingrained HRM domains. It seems like the traditional recruitment and selection procedures have been around for decades, which is at odds with the ever changing internal and external environment of organizations. Hence, practitioners often wonder whether there are any new research-based ways for recruiting and selecting personnel. Another image problem for recruitment and selection is that a false dichotomy is often created between so-called macro HR (examining HR systems more broadly) and micro HR (examining individual differences). It is further sometimes argued that organizations should value macro approaches and write off micro approaches as not being relevant to the business world. We posit that these image problems and debates only serve to distract and fracture the field and hide the fact that excellent HR research and practice needs to take both macro and micro issues into consideration. For example, creating an effective recruiting strategy (some would describe this as a macro process) requires considerable understanding of the decision making processes of potential applicants (viewed as micro processes). The same can be said with respect to designing effective selection systems, etc. The challenge for many...

...TL 038 INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT: A RESEARCH AGENDA SERGEY FILIPPOV; HERMAN MOOI DELFT UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, DEPARTMENT OF INNOVATION SYSTEMS RESEARCHER AT DELFT CENTRE FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT (THE NETHERLANDS) Abstract th Originally developed in the mid-20 century, project management has become a distinctive way to manage business activities nowadays. Another important development is virtually universal recognition of the role of innovation and technology in the corporate change, growth and profitability. It is unsurprising that development of innovation is often run as a project. Yet, theoretically both project management and innovation studies have evolved over time as distinctively separate disciplines. In this paper we make an attempt to conceptualise the innovation project management and to specify the idiosyncratic nature of innovation projects as opposed to conventional projects. By doing so, we contribute to the nascent academic debate on the interplay between innovation and project management. Key words: project management, innovation, technology 1. Introduction This paper is concerned with three topics and the interplay between them, namely “Innovation”, “Research and Development (R&D)” and “Project Management”. The interest in these topics has exploded recently as they emerged both on the policy agenda and in the corporate strategies. The contribution of technological innovation to national economic growth has been well established in...

...Critical Reflections on Learning Learning and teaching We would suggest that learning and teaching are two sides of the same coin and our understanding of what it means to be a good teacher (see Critical reflection on teaching) is based in part on what we had to do to become successful learners, so this area of our belief system will provide fruitful material for evaluation and reflection. Williams and Burden express this well: The successful educator must be one who understands the complexities of the teaching-learning process and can draw upon this knowledge to act in ways which empower learners both within and beyond the classroom situation. (Williams and Burden,1997: 5) As a start to reflecting on your teaching, you are asked to reflect on (your own) learning. Take a few moments to: • think about the strategies, techniques and approaches that you personally found helpful (or not) as a learner • consider whether we should assume that others (especially your students) will respond in the same way • analyse distinctive elements of learning in your own subject or discipline Exploring learning We probably all have personal beliefs about how learning happens. Take a few more moments to think about your own learning • Do you consider yourself to be a successful learner of your subject? Why (not?) • Are there any particular strategies or techniques that work(ed) well for you as a learner? • Did you learn your subject...
