...May 20, 2007 To Whom It May Concern: I am a commissioned officer deployed in Balad, Iraq with the Colorado Battalion 2-135th General Support Aviation Battalion. The contents that follow are some observations that have been going on since the start of the deployment in March 2006. Currently we live on the MEDEVAC compound dealing with deteriorating living quarters, air conditioners, electrical code problems, leaking roofs, and trailer floors weakening causing a dangerous condition for the soldiers and deteriorating moral. We have since fell out of the KBR maintenance contract that supports these issues, and could easily be fixed. We have not been on the KBR maintenance contract for approximately 6 months. It is very tough without this contract to get things done. First we have to find the materials to fix the problem, then someone inside the company who has the experience and skills to fix what ever it is that needs fixed. This is not only frustrating for the lack of support from KBR, but it takes soldiers away from the fight and our mission in Iraq because we are doing the job of the maintenance contract. MEDEVAC is one of the most important pieces in this puzzle of Iraq, and we don’t need to be deterring the focus because someone let our contract lapse. We have been trying since we found out our contract lapsed, to get back on. We have asked our BN to help, and have yet to see any headway on the issue. So this leaves it to us as a company to...

...To whom it may concern, I write to you today to say that nuclear is the way to go, not only is it beneficial to the environment, but it will completely stop black outs. The only down side is the nuclear waste but I have researched methods of disposing the radioactive matter. South Australia currently have two coal power stations, ten gas turbines, two thermal gas stations, two reciprocating gas stations, one hydroelectricity and eleven wind farms. A few large nuclear power plants would help lower Australia’s green house emissions, and also stop black outs. As for the radioactive waste new storage designs which are 9 inches thick and are covered with shuttle tiles, this may allow the waste to be shot into the sun, removing it forever. Two other ways used are geological disposal (which is basically find extremely deep tunnels e.g. Old mines and just dumping it there) or deep water dumping (dumping in the ocean sealed in containers). The waste could also be used in making weapons of mass destruction, which would greatly help us during war and would also make other countries scared of us. I hope upon making your decision you consider my points and views. To whom it may concern, Australia should not even be considering nuclear power as the way of the future, there are much safer and greener for the environment over all (as in construction and waste) such as wind farms, solar power or geothermal. Geothermal is low cost, use a small amount of energy to run and does not produce...

...mainly selling to retailers. According to the text, economic conditions and the reduction of demand has created internal problems and tension to still achieve target revenues. In addition, the sales department is feeling the pressure to increase or expand earnings. The internal auditor found two cases that did not follow correct procedures, because the accounting department recorded revenue for these earlier in order to meet the target revenue, due to pressure from Campbell the director of sales division. In this paper I am going to discusses the legal activities, criteria of SOX act, ethical activities, and decide on the best nest step decision. Legal Activities The two shipments made up about 150,000 in revenue and were the main concern for the internal auditor. In the first shipment United ship the product on the 31st of December even though the company, Allen did not want it delivered before the 1st of February due to not needing it until the 1st of March. In the second shipment, the company shipped a partial shipment to Bilco Corporation on the 30th of December even though they stated partial shipments would not be accepted and the schedule full shipment should of not been shipped till the 1st of February. According to State and Federal law none of the activities actually seemed to violate or break any laws. In both cases, the company did not ship to another place or offered a full return but just sent the product to the customer early. Even though the...

...USPS Blue Ocean Strategy Business Plan Final MGT 670 Spring Semester Blue Ocean Strategy The Postal Service should pursue the Blue Ocean Strategy of becoming a nationwide data collection network. According to the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) website they have 211,264 total vehicles as of 2014. The U.S. Government Accountability Office states that the USPS has the largest civilian fleet of vehicles in the world. The USPS also has delivers to every address in the United States- this requires an extensive delivery network. The USPS should exploit their vehicle fleet and extensive delivery routes to outfit their vehicles with sensors to become a data collection network. According to an article in Popular Science, the Postal Service’s fleet of vehicles could be equipped “with an array of cheap sensors, mail trucks could wireless deliver real time information on weather, pollutants, traffic, road conditions, and even locate gaps in cell phone coverage and television signals” (Dillow, 2010). The data collected could have homeland security implications as well, as noted in Popular Science, by sensors being able to identify chemical-biological threats as well as radiological threats. Threats are always prevalent to an organization, especially one that is trying to implement a new business opportunity to their existing business. The USPS is unique because they have threats that come from the private sector and threats that come from Congress in the public sector. The...

...Understanding Pronouns Author/Creation: Karalyn Jones, January 2010. Summary: Describes the nine categories of pronouns. Learning Objectives: To describe the function of each of the nine categories of pronouns. Pronouns are one of the basic parts of speech in English—they refer to or stand in for a noun. The basic rule for using pronouns effectively is to make sure you’ve clearly identified the noun, called the antecedent, that the pronoun is standing in for. There are many rules for using pronouns because there are countless nouns they can stand for and many ways they can be used in a sentence. Knowing the nine categories of pronouns, which is what you’ll find in this handout, will give you an excellent start on understanding those rules. What follows is a basic explanation of each of the nine categories: personal, possessive, reflexive, intensive, relative, interrogative, demonstrative, indefinite, and reciprocal. Note that a pronoun can be included in more than one category. Pronouns are categorized according to their function, and some can function in multiple ways. Personal Pronouns Personal pronouns are pronouns that refer to people or things. These pronouns can be further categorized into singular or plural; first, second, or third person; and subjective or objective case (i.e. functioning as the subject or an object in a sentence, respectively). There is a third case, possessive, that we will handle separately below. Person Singular Plural ...

...implement creative ways of dealing with everyday activities. While seeing the beauty of life, I noticed that we are always confused about how to differentiate between what is right or wrong, both personally and professionally. This is just one simple thing that may lead to a great distinction as to how people act towards a scenario which could be his own life saver when it comes to his job, school concerns, family constraints, or some other relationships as they may deem very important to him. Looking at different places, while strolling inside the malls, or even on my way to school or back to our home, I see faces of people from whom I can feel diverse sentiments. Some are happy- go- lucky. Some may seem problematic. A lot of them, I see, are unsmiling and serious, although some are witty and funny-looking. I believe, these auras help us cope up with the very rough surface of professionalism, in connection to ethics, of course. Based on some existing distinctness, ethical behavior is something that goes beyond simply obeying a set of rules and regulations, it is about committing yourself to do and act according to what is right, cognizant of your own conscience. To put it simply, professional ethics concerns one's behavior, conduct and practice when carrying out professional work. And most importantly, the way I see people is a big contribution to how I’m going to carry out with them, especially...
