...Deborah L Tatum-Oakes 09-30-12 CWV 101 Modules 7 Worldview Essay: Refitting the Pieces My three components’ that make up my world view are human nature, ultimate reality, and knowledge, b/c they shaped my thoughts, experiences, education and life decisions. I have found that human nature leads to make the decisions in our lives whether it is good or bad. Whether you follow the rules of others or us. My 2nd marriage with an older man, who loves all of our kids and me. The first guy I was married to he was unkind man. After we got married he would beat and cheat on me. I have find that all of the people I have studied in this course where all kind of one sided. Where I eye don’t like to say any of the other worldviews are wrong even if some of it I may or may not understand. The education and life decisions I have are 2 years tech school for health care, and all grades k-12. My life decisions have never always been good but they have never been ones that would get me killed or put in jail, like the time when I was 4 and I took some gum from the store after my dad told me no then he whipped me all the way home and back to the store . Ultimate reality is something I have always liked looking into watching things about ghosts and other things that go bump in the night. Now you must know that when I say ultimate reality yes, god can be put into those terms for the fact that no one has really ever seen him. But that’s not what I mean for I know god is here and everywhere around...

...traditional treatments are aortic grafts or metallic stents. The grafts are a wire mesh that is sewn into place to prevent further growth and leaking, which involves an extremely dangerous and invasive procedure. Otherwise, a generalized metallic stent is used, but because this device is pre-formed, it will only fit a select group of patients whose aorta is in a straight and vertical orientation. Any other shape and the treatment couldn’t be applied. Though, because the aorta is almost never perfectly straight, slips of the stent are likely to occur. Once a slip does occur, the probability for a leak is greatly enhanced. If a leak does develop, the graft loses its purpose and if a refitting surgery is not preformed, the consequences can be fatal. Both the stents and grafts may require refitting procedures and patients...

...way to influence an audience, but often a combination of these techniques can be the most effective approach. The article from the New York Times, “As U.S. Modernizes Nuclear Weapons, ‘Smaller’ Leaves Some Uneasy” shows this effect through several examples. Though all are present throughout the article, the overwhelming approach is through ethos and effectively building the credibility of the article’s content. Almost every piece of information that is presented is linked either through a direct quote or a summary of the thoughts of an expert of the topic being discussed. With Nuclear Weapons Council directors, Pentagon heads, and Generals giving their opinions on nuclear weapons, one is inclined to trust what they read. When former head of Pentagon weapons testing Philip E. Coyle says, “I’m not a pacifist” (2016), but that the military is planning for an arsenal that is still far too big, then there may be a problem that needs to be examined. In terms of logos, the largest argument is economical. On one side of the debate, we are told that the refitting of old weapons is just cost-effective. New technologies and capabilities aren’t being added to the devices. They are just being refurbished with new plastic bits and wires that may wear over time. Counter-point, the new abilities to strategically and with incredible precision aim at a target hundreds of miles away and the creation of what the article calls “dial-a-yield” (this author prefers “choose-your-boom”) certainly sound...

...weapons, but also a promising alternative to fossil fuels for the new age of energy demands. In Jeff Goodell’s article, “America’s Nuclear Nightmare”, the topic of injustice for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and its affiliates is raised. We live in a society where more people are needed to be aware of preventable catastrophes, which is the matter that Goodell brings up. The injustice I refer to is that of the NRC’s negligence to comply with proper safety protocol and renovation to addressing the serious domestic threat of aging nuclear reactors. Since its inception, the NRC has pushed nuclear power to the people, but has since let its duty to the public fail the test of moral obligation. Skirting safety investigations and legitimate refitting of old nukes, the NRC and the industry it puppeteers could end up with a nuclear meltdown on its hands. The cost for such inaction may very well include billions of taxpayer dollars in cleanup and aid, and the untold millions of displaced or irradiated civilians. Though Goodell’s article does address the possibility of imminent risk taken by the nuclear industry, he falls short in conveying the sense of urgency that is needed in order to effect change for America’s nuclear industry, ultimately making his article more PAST than CUSP. My analysis and research will fill in the gaps of forensic evidence and touch on the due deliberation by improving upon Goodell’s poor use of rhetorical modes. One of the PAST things that Goodell does is underrepresent...

...Harvard Business School 9-187-048 Rev. April 1, 1990 Mueller-Lehmkuhl GmbH According to Dr. Richard Welkers, president of Mueller-Lehmkuhl: The merger with Atlas has significantly increased our ability to compete with the Japanese. As we are now the largest single manufacturer of apparel fasteners in Europe, we can reap the benefits of economies of scale. At the moment, we are cost competitive with the Japanese. While the Japanese have lower wages and overhead, we are closer to the market and have lower selling costs. Historically, the Japanese have been most successful when they were the low-cost producer. Currently, the Japanese are pricing 20% below us. It is not enough to offset our quality advantage, but if they can match our quality or drop prices even further, we could have a problem. Company Background Mueller-Lehmkuhl (ML), a West German producer of apparel fasteners, was founded in 1876 as a manufacturer of shoe accessories. Soon after, other products were added, including the singlepost snap fastener. Production of these items increased substantially when the company merged with a Hannover firm called Weiser. In 1929 Mueller-Weiser merged with Felix Lehmkuhl to become Mueller-Lehmkuhl. Sales growth and product diversification continued, and in 1938 the firm was acquired by the Moselhammer group. In 1982 ML formed a joint venture with the German subsidiary of the Atlas group, an American multinational. Atlas was a conglomerate of six major businesses, one...

...Marketing plan Craftmade International Inc. Marketing Plan Executive Summary With energy prices increasing and an increased interest in sustainability, a market for high efficiency, environmentally friendly lighting has been created. This need can now be cost effectively met with LED lighting technology because of recent advances in LED manufacturing techniques in China combined with maturing LED technology. Currently, no one has successfully entered into the market place to fill this void. Craftmade is well positioned to step forward and fill this void. Recent legislation in Washington has paved the way for increased public uptake of more efficient CFL and LED lighting. While incandescent light bulbs have not been phased out yet, it is important for Craftmade as a lighting appliance manufacturer to lead the way in lighting technologies. Already, competitors such as GE Lumination, and Philips have begun to introduce innovative products that incorporate LED lighting, and have seen large returns as a result. Due to technological advances in LED manufacturing and increased consumer exposure on store shelving, LED light bulbs are increasing in quality and decreasing in price. In order to take advantage of these recent developments in the lighting industry it would behoove Craftmade to adjust current designs or introduce new designs that implement the use of LED technology. The most advantageous opportunity would involve re-introducing current designs with LED capabilities...

...U5014042 ENGN2226 Portfolio Analysis of the Impact of Replacing Out-dated GPS Devices in a Taxi Fleet Name: Samuel Stefopoulos Student ID: u5014042 Course name: Engineering Systems Analysis Course code: ENGN2226 Lecturer: Chris Browne Assessment piece: Individual Portfolio Date submitted: 25th October 2013 U5014042 ENGN2226 Portfolio Summary GPS devices have become increasingly common due to the advancements of electronics. They can now be hand-held and are highly prominent on roads. This is particularly noticeable in taxis, as most cabs are now fitted with some form of GPS device and many fleets have enforced mandatory GPS policies. This document analyses the impact and worth of refitting a fleet of taxis the size of Canberra Cabs with new portable GPS devices. A series of systems analysis techniques were applied in the analysis of the devices in order to reduce the complexity of the components. A major period of device improvement was identified as the time between 2007 and 2009 based on a diffusion of innovations analysis. The analysis of two particular devices, the TomTom XL 310 (2007) and the Garmin Nuvi 1350 (2009), were used as a comparative measure of the improvements made in the time period. The devices chosen for analysis were ergonomically assessed in terms of their user interface. The major factors improved were found to be the prediction of text and consistency with other devices users may be familiar with. An experiment was then designed and performed to...
