...with an ethical issue. Deliverable: 1. Introduction. It was something I witnessed, an ethical issue which I wish to point out. It is not really similar to that of the Lab’s video. It is about an investigation into a safety incident whereby a soldier, Solider A, fractured his hand during a botched attempt to lift an armored vehicle’s engine panel. 2. Background leading to incident. A background to the incident is necessary for a complete understanding of the ethical issue. Corporal A belonged to Platoon 1 Section 1, which was not assigned the task of lifting the engine panel. Platoon 2 Section 2 was assigned the task. Platoon 2 Section 2 Leader, Sergeant B, was not yet certified to operate the crane, hence they were in a fix as to how to proceed. However, Sergeant B is the senior ranking soldier and was supposed to be in charge of the operation. Corporal A came along and notice the situation, and decided to help. He and some of his buddies from Section 1 decided to operate the crane. The chains were not secured properly and gave way due to the weight, and crushed...

...How To Read University Texts or Journal Articles Choose a section preferrably not longer than 25 or 30 pages - perhaps one chapter, or a section of a chapter - that you can handle at one sitting. Step 1. Read the title, the introduction, and the conclusion (5 minutes). Step 2. Read the title, the introduction again, all sub-headings, and the conclusion, again. (5-10 minutes). Step 3. Read the title, the introduction one more time, sub-headings, the Topic Sentence of each paragraph - usually the first or second sentence, (you may read the last sentence as well, if you have time), any italicized or boldfaced words, lists (you can skim these), and the conclusion (10 minutes). (Force yourself to do steps 1 to 3 in less than 25 minutes.) Step 4. Close your textbook. Step 5. Make a Mind-Map of all you can remember in the chapter. Do not stop until at least half an hour is up, even if you feel that you can't possibly remember any more--more will surface if you give yourself the time. DO NOT REFER TO THE TEXT WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS. If you come to a dead end, try alternative memory techniques to the ones you have been using: associating ideas, either from within the section itself or from other related material; visualizing pages, pictures, graphs etc.; recalling personal associations that may have come to mind; staring out the window and blanking out your thoughts; and so on. This is strenuous, but it is rewarding. It will show you exactly how much you have learned...

...IS4799: Unit 1 Common RFP Sections The common sections of an RFP are: Introduction: The Introduction section of an RFP states the purpose, scope, and necessary background information about the RFP. The introduction sets the stage for the RFP and summarizes its main points. Each RFP introduction is different and contains information that is specific to that RFP. Many RFPs contain general information that is common, including the following: • Statement of purpose: The statement of purpose summarizes the intent and purpose of the RFP and briefly conveys its reasons for its existence. While it does not contain many performance requirements, this section provides a very general overview of the RFP. The statement of purpose is deliberately high-level and provides few details. • Scope: Readers should gain a general sense of the performance requirements of the RFP from this section. The scope defines the specific products, services, period, terms, and conditions of the RFP. In many RFPs, the scope section simply refers readers to appropriate appendices for more detailed coverage. • Compliance stipulations : The introduction often contains any general compliance stipulations that apply to the RFP process, including vendor selection and performance of the proposal contents. W hile government-related RFPs usually contain statements of compliance with equal opportunity and disability regulations, any other mandatory compliance requirements will be included...

...order to master the game type. 1) Make 3 photocopies of every LG 2) Separate them using the classification method of choice - Blueprint, Kaplan, etc. will all work but I prefer PowerScore 3) Do each LGB section in order and work on the respective game types as you progress. For this I usually do 2-3 new games and 3 repeats every day, but it doesn't matter as long as you get it done. Try to keep some separation (24 hours+) between the first and second time you attempt a game. Repetition is crucial - after you have done a lot of games a lot of times anything they throw at you will seem elementary and routine. LR: Pretty simple really. Do the appropriate LRB section and then work through the corresponding chapter in Kaplan Mastery/Big Orange Book. I generally reviewed the LRB section thoroughly the first time, and then just read the summary of points and strategies at the start of the question set to refresh myself after that. Do up to 10 problems at each sitting and monitor which question types give you the most trouble. Review those questions heavily. If you're really motivated, cut out particularly troublesome questions for later review. I found that writing out explanations for question types I struggled with helped immensely. RC: This is the most difficult section to improve on. You have to develop a feel for what the passage as a whole is conveying while making sure not to miss small details...

...The Stones Cry Out: Analytical Essay In Hikaru Okuizumi's book, "The Stones Cry Out", we follow a man named Manase through his life after the war. Although this seems like just a look on a mans life, there are many themes that tie us in. Hikaru uses many literary elements to develop those themes. Four of those elements are complication, false assumptions, flashbacks, and foreshadowing. Although there are many key themes, the two I noticed the most were the psychological effects of war and family complications due to the loss of a loved-one. Complications are defined as obstacles that increase tension. In the beginning of the book, the complications would be when Manase is faced with his memories of the time he was in the cave with the captain during the war, "He did not want to remember-Manase understood that very well. Even though he could taste his fear, he needed only to remind himself that he was lying on a soft mattress, not a cold bed of rocks."(28) The effects the war had on him were so immense that every night he would have nightmares of it. As this quote states, he didn't want to remember it. He would imagine those times in the war and the dreams seemed as real to him as the day they happened, that's why he needs to constantly remind himself that the war is over. When something is believed to be true; however is not true. An assumption isn't what's said, it is what is behind the words. This is the definition of false assumptions. Though Hikaru Okuizumi...

...Committee Report Fall 2011 Board Meeting Alfredo Herrera, Committee Chair 1. The Humanitarian Initiatives Committee (HIC) in brief The HIC mission is to support humanitarian initiatives, new ventures and collaborations in which Canadian IEEE members are involved; for example: by identifying Canadian humanitarian initiatives already underway, by leveraging external (corporate, community, association) relationships for humanitarian solution partnerships, or by nurturing initiatives that our members raise like relief efforts in disasters like the December ’04 tsunami in southeastern Asia or the January ’10 earthquake in Haiti.

...SSG Stevenson, William David 07 January 2011 Area Recon PE 1 1. The platoon leader assigns the task of conducting area reconnaissance based off of the orders received, S3 information and guidance given using METT-TC. The Platoon leader knows the location of area recon (EG 17086770 to EG 16858710) and his instructions to determine insurgent supply route and drop point. The PL knows the mission must be completed NLT 011800OCT07. 2. In order to utilize the triangle technique to occupy the ORP the platoon leader will assign and ensure the squads know their positions. The lead squad will be the base of the triangle, facing in the direction of travel. The tip of the triangle will be the 6 o’clock position. The left corner of the triangle will cover the 10 o’clock position, while the right covers the 2 o’clock position. The HQ element will be within the triangle finalizing plans. In order to make up the triangle, the Trail squad covers from the 6 o’clock position up to the 10 o’clock position where the lead squad is. The middle squad covers from the 6 o’clock position up to the 2 o’clock position. 3. The most desirable method for executing and area reconnaissance is ling range observation and reconnaissance. This method adds to stealth and limits the detection by enemy. Also, this method keeps the soldiers out of range for small arms fire helping them withdrawal and break contact. 4. Once the mission is complete all squads and members of the reconnaissance operation assemble...

Basically a library contains documentation for reference, research and learning purposes with a variety of fields to look into. Some may also have archived materials that are still being used. Current libraries have a section where you can access materials like newspapers to catch up with news updates. This database will use a MYSQL environment to manage the data related to the library and Delphi in designing the interface Problems and constraints The existing library has a category of sections from which reference materials for research and learning can be obtained. Unfortunately no systematic sorting has been done to categorize books in each section. This makes it some worth difficult and time consuming to find a specific book of interest within the sections Objectives of the database environment The objectives of the database environment are enlisted below * Provide an all-in-one system for accessing reference materials * Develop a system that will store user details and item details * Create an easy to understand and friendly environment * Develop a system that can replace the manual library management system * Provide borrow and return records * Provide user access levels(i.e. Only Admin updates...

Although we know what a Blu-ray/DVD system looks like and it should automatically have the correct manual in its box, there may be an instance where that has not happened or if you misplaced your original manual and need another. The photo would come in handy especially if there is a certain layout that this particular has as opposed to other models. Having the photo is further reinforcement that you have the correct product. II. Layout The layout of this manual is standard. The warning sections and intial operating instructions are seen in most user manuals. Something that used to be uncommon which we are seeing more often in user manuals is the unpacking section. This section further details the parts of the entertainment system piece by piece. The remainder of the layout includes more standard sections such as how to operate each source, sound adjustments, settings, and of course a manual is not complete without the index. III.

...A Walk Over The Fence. By Colin Moore. “Read this and sign it’ The section commander mumbled to me. I had noticed him moving from man to man offering the unofficial looking document for inspection. I knew what it was, as did every one else. I took the sheet of paper from him and moved my eyes down the list of names until I found mine, next to it I scribbled my signature and read what was written, then handed it back. ‘ O group 1400 hrs’. Said the section commander and then he moved off and out of the tent. The paper was a warning order informing the platoon that we were to cross the fence and move by foot to set an ambush at a yet to be disclosed position, full details would be given at the 1400 O group. I had only been with this platoon a week and I still didn’t know any one, pretty much the outsider. In all I’d been in this army for four and a half months, four months basic training then posted to this combat unit I had served once before in another army in another place and another time but had never been in combat. What lay ahead of me was now untried ground and I was scared. Scared of dying or being wounded but most of all scared of letting down the platoon, these men who didn’t know me, and who I didn’t know. The O group was brief; everyone already knew what they were doing and what was their role in the mission, so every one was preparing gear and collecting ammunition and expendables. By this time I was shit scared; all this was becoming way too real. For...

...Communicating in the Workplace. Assignment #1 Who was the sender: The Supervisor (Unit Commander) Who was the receiver: The Supply Sergeant What was the message: To order new uniforms for all soldiers in the unit. (New digital Fatigues – Dept of the Military 2006) What channel was used to send the message: Email What was the misunderstanding: Why was the Supply Sergeant ordering uniforms again because he had received the Statewide memo via email stating that all soldiers would have to have the new uniforms by a certain date and he had already done it. He felt that the commander failed to read the memo and he was being double tasked. How could the misunderstanding be avoided: If the unit commander read the email in its entirety, he would have seen that the letter furnished to him as a courtesy copy. He could have also communicated with the Supply Sergeant. I learnt if the Commander had taken the time to read the full email message not just the subject line and first paragraph he would have seen at the bottom of the message that he was copy furnished with the same memo that was sent to all Supply Sergeants for that unit. I think the main cause of misunderstanding was not paying attention to detail. The Commander was probably rushing through his email and knowing the significance of the memo just sent it without reading all the information. Assignment #2 Who is the sender: First Sergeant Who was the receiver: Squad leaders What was the message:...
