Imperial President

The ideal federal bureaucracy is organized in what should be a pyramid shape, with the president occupying the smallest portion at the top, the political appointees occupying a somewhat larger space immediately following the president, and the career civil servants consuming the vast majority of space underneath the political appointees. The political appointees are hand selected by the president to head a particular department of the presidents cabinet (such as the Secretary of the Interior or Secretary of Defense) and serve no designated term as far as length of time served. The career civil servants are selected after passing a required civil service exam and are eligible for tenure after working in that particular field for a certain period of time. Despite being ideally organized in this fashion, the cabinets are highly devolved with generally no common interests amongst them. The cabinets are not usually depended on by the president (unless it revolves an issue of an urgent matter) and are instead attentive to lobbyists (those who have similar interests as those in a particular cabinet) where strong relationships are formed among their “native” culture. Going “native” implies that the cabinet leader begins to form their points and agenda based on what is currently accepted in the industry they represent as opposed to remaining loyal to the agenda the president originally implemented. Heclo indicates that because of such, each cabinet is decentralized and undefined to the point where presidential power is equally destabilized. The head of each cabinet has limited authority over their area of expertise due to stiff regulations that are customarily unaltered. Heclo affirms that there is a substantial lack of political leadership with absence of communication between the cabinets and can result in uniformed and hasty decisions being made as a direct result.

The president should have an agenda that can be prioritized without overwhelming Congress. One or two substantial, important issues should be declared so the outcomes can be thoughtful, well versed, and established to satisfy both the president and the public. In an environment that is rapidly changing due to various external and internal stimuli, not all issues can be addressed with the attention needed to make an informed decision. Congress is constantly changing as well (as far as which party has the majority and from which states) in which the president must be sensitive to when setting his agenda. The president is more likely to achieve his agendas goals when he or she has bipartisan support. However, it can prove to be unsuccessful if the president leaves the topic at hand not well defined which could result in Congress passing a piece of legislation that does not agree with the presidents initial agenda. The president could also potentially overlook a major issue that should be addressed for an issue that does not necessarily need to be passed through Congress.
The president should pay close attention to the national mood, by doing so he or she can pinpoint what topics should be addressed in relation to how the public comprehends the current position of each issue and what should be tackled from a legislative standpoint. This is particularly important during times of crisis where the president can capitalize on such with a strong decision that could potentially drive up the popularity poll and sway voters to his or her political party. Legislation that may not normally get passed in Congress under normal circumstances stands a better possibility when an event occurs that could also influence public support. However, the president could conceivably address a momentous issue in a manner that would disgust or turn away the public because of a poor decision or one that proved to conflict with the publics personal interests. Being a successful president coincides with the publics overall standpoint on issues, where the public is generally satisfied with the outcome and has an overall better sense of pride and confidence in the president him or herself.

...Singapore Office Market Outlook Singapore’s overall economy is relatively stable this quarter and growth outlook for the whole of 2013 has been revised up from 1%-3% to 2.5%-3.5%. In 3Q13, the office space leasing activity is showing sign of recovery amid moderate demand and limited near-term supply. More enterprises are commencing search for new offices to enjoy the competitive office rents in anticipation of a forthcoming improvement in office rental. This is supported by an uptick business sentiment in US and Europe’s economies upon expectation of US Federal Reserve may taper the monetary easing programme. CBD Office Rental Demand Remain Resilience The absorption rate on office space in recent quarter has significantly increased q-o-q. despite a supply-led increase in vacancy rate of 0.88% q-q due to completion of 3 projects (Asia Square Tower 2, The Metropolis and Nexus @ One North) in 3Q13. Metropolis and Nexus @ One North has achieved strong occupancy level of 95% and 90% respectively. There is more pronounced increase in the overall vacancy rate in CBD due to the completion of Asia Square Tower 2. Despite of this, the median rent in the Central area reflects a mild 0.8% increase in 3Q13. Since the fall in occupancy level was more a function of new office completions rather than an overall demand contract in the 3Q2013, the higher vacancy rate did not have much negative effect on the rental. Average overall Grade A prime office rental in CBD area is currently at...

Weight of a Leaf

...I propose that the total mass of all leaves that fall off of trees within the United States during a typical fall is 750 billion pounds. In order to answer this question, I considered the trees by my own house. The tree in my backyard is a large oak tree. Rather than attempt to approximate the number of leaves on the tree and the mass of one leaf, I considered how much a 13 gallon bag weighs when it is filled with leaves that have fallen off the tree. After raking the leaves, I do my best to fit as many leaves as possible into the bag, which means the leaves often crumble as I keep putting in more and more leaves. From my experience last fall, the bag weighs about 5 pounds. However, my estimate of the bag’s weight is based on perception; I know for certain that the bag is neither as light as two or three pounds nor as heavy as nine or ten pounds. Therefore, my best estimate of the weight of the bag is 5 pounds. Furthermore, when raking the leaves, I usually fill up three bags (I rake the leaves only once). As such, in one fall season, I collect about 15 pounds of leaves from a single tree. However, because the tree is large and it is often windy, I am certain that many leaves either fly off into the lake, a neighbor’s house, the roof, and/or the front yard. In addition, it seems implausible to assume that I fit all the tree’s leaves into three garbage bags. Therefore, I estimate that I am only able to collect about half of all the leaves. With this assumption, I conclude that...

Enemy in the Mirror

...Faron Gallier February 12, 2013 Ian Stanwood ENGQ-1099-S16 Cause and Effect Many people are unaware of how eating animals negatively effects the Earth. Animal livestock is a messy business of inefficiency, pollution, and destruction. Getting calories from animals is the most inefficient way of eating, considering the amount of energy needed produce meat compared to plants. It takes 2,500 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil and the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline to produce one pound of feedlot beef. That is a huge waste of resources for just one pound of food. To produce one pound of tomatoes, potatoes, of carrots, only 25 gallons of water would be needed. In 2012 alone an estimated 9 billion animals were killed for their flesh in America. Not only do these animals waste resources by consuming a lot of food and water, but they also poop.. A lot. Another effect on the planet resulting from humans treating animals as edible commodities is the animals’ manure leeching into water ways and poisoning fertile ecosystems. According to the EPA, over 200 manure discharges and spills from U.S. animal farms between 1990 and 1997 have killed more than a billion fish. Not only does manure run-off hurt aquatic life and delicate ecosystems, but it also hurts us. E coli is a bacteria found in vegetables and meat caused by fecal contamination.

The House on the Lake

...The House on the Lake Teresa Clements ENG 121: English Comp I Instructor: Jennifer Wells September 16, 2013 As we round the corner, all of my senses stood at attention. The smell, the sound, the view, it was almost too much to take in at once. It was a place I knew all too well. The air was thick with the aroma of fish, bait and coconut suntan oil. The sound of ducks quacking filled my ears. The view, oh, the view was heavenly. The sun glistened on the water as if to say, “Welcome back.” It was a place where memories were made and where I spent every summer as a child all the way up to adulthood. It was….the house on the lake. It was a pale green (almost a hospital green), two-story house sitting on an acre of land. Pecan and pine trees fill the yard. Off to the right was a small, rickety shed filled with fishing poles and tackle. The door squeaked when you opened it and inside it smelled of bait. Beside it was another shed, a bit bigger yet still rickety, with life jackets and every kind of blow-up float you could have imagined. The lake was approximately 50 feet from the house and had a 20 foot u-shaped pier with round, metal railings. Sitting on the ground beside the pier was a small, metal, two-person boat with no trolling motor and two wooden oars, which we used often for fishing. A few feet in front of the pier was what I like to call a “gutting station.” It consisted of a 4’ X 5’ table with a built-in sink for skinning and gutting fish and it smelled...

3-Day Diet Analysis

...Three Day Diet Analysis Hans, Ronald J. SCI 241 November 11, 2012 Stacey Nagy Three Day Diet Analysis Growing up I have always given my dad a hard time for his weight until about four years ago when he pulled out his wedding tux and I tried it on and could not fit in it. I am currently six foot four inches and weight approximately one hundred and fifty pounds so you can share my amazement when I found out that I couldn’t fit into my two hundred and fifty pound father’s tux. My dad got married when he was twenty two and I just turned twenty two, so I believe that it is about time to start being more a wear of what I eat. Being that I am currently underweight, I haven’t had to discipline myself when it comes to eating too much. My problem is that I do not eat enough of the right stuff. My three day food tracker account has shown me that my eating habits are horrible to say the least. I only managed to meet one daily food group target and that was only for two of the three days. I fell under the recommended calorie allowance on all three days as well. It is obviously that my diet needs help. Super Tracker recommends that I ingest 3200 calories per day. The highest I achieved in the past three days was only 2353 and that was because I almost ate an entire twelve inch pizza for dinner. Of the six classes of nutrients, Super Tracker recommends that I eat ten ounces of grains, four cups of vegetables, two and a half cups of fruit, three cups of dairy, seven ounces of protein...
