What comes to your mind when you think of the Pit Bull terrier? Many people think of everything that comes with their reputation, dog fighting, dog attacks, locking jaws and aggression. That is the side of the Pit Bull that many people think of, and for some people that is all they are willing to see in the breed. But that is not truly what the pit bull terrier is all about. They are so much more than what you hear in the news. Pit bulls are not deserving of their bad reputation considering…

How would you feel if your pet was banned? Pit bulls are a type of dog, that could be banned. Pit bulls are known to be a dangerous breed of dogs. Many people are afraid of Pit-bulls,on the contrary some people think that pit bulls are an excellent breed of dogs. Pit-bulls should not be banned. One reason pit bulls should not be banned is that they are not that threatening. An example of this is that Pit-bull attacks are sometimes over reported by the media. In The Media and the Pit-bull the…

Never judge a book by its cover. As a child, I was told several times to never judge something by what that person, animal, or thing on how it may appear to be at first glance. I have used the wisdom of these words several times as I have grown and experienced more, but I have noticed that this saying is not used by all, especially when animals are the subject. I have identified this bias particularly when people encounter or even think about pit bulls. The fear that people have when they…

The Strength of Words and the Lessons You Learn During the pilgrimage to Canterbury, 24 tales were told from all different types of people, from the poorest in the city to the richest. In the Canterbury Tales, a famous tale is heard from a Nun’s Priest about a widowed wife left with two daughters to live graciously with what God had given them. One-night Chanticleer: the noblest chicken on their farm, is awoken by a dream, a nightmare of being eaten by a fox. He is called crazy and thought to…

On the page previous to this, one can find the new budget I have created with a budget cut of $1 billion. I have cut my budget of $200 billion to $199 billion by cutting $57 million from the military, $22 million from food and agriculture, $14 million from transportation, and lastly $7 million from energy and environment. Each one of these cuts were made strategically, with a logical reasoning behind them. Within the military budget, I have cut $57 million. A majority of this cut comes from the…

Much of Lockheed Martin’s success can be attributed to their leadership in defense throughout the company’s lifetime. However, it is one of the biggest problems the company faces as the times start changing. The only way for them to keep their powerful position in defense while also becoming more independent from that being their biggest source of income, is through innovation and globalization. Though Lockheed Martin has been largely successful, a majority has been due to the fact that…

Introduction When it comes to maintaining and supporting legacy aircraft such as the F-16 within today’s Air Force inventory, the logistics scheme currently in use includes distinct and separate information systems for repair, supply, maintenance personnel and skills, mission planning and post-mission debriefings. They are standard for the Air Force and used by other fleets (Butler, 2013). With the introduction of the Joint Strike Fighter program, the F-35 will replace several aircraft…

respect to the Aeronautics segment the majority of revenue is earned through production, design, as well as upgrade and support of Lockheed’s numerous projects. Major programs include the “F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, C-130 Hercules, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor, and the C-5M Super Galaxy.” These programs are all typically very long in duration and provide a sustained revenue stream through maintenance and upgrade years after the sale of a plane. Consider the F-35 JSF program…

. This mission statement displays a sense that Lockheed Martin cares about their customers and feels responsible for their well-being. Additionally, Lockheed Martin presents a perfect example of “globalization” by not putting a constraint of a specific area of the world that they intend to operate; instead Lockheed Martin states that they plan to help and keep their customers safe. All of what Lockheed Martin has promised can only be accomplished through the use of innovation. I believe that…

Rather than diving into an operations analysis on Lockheed Martin’s F-35 production line blindly, our team will perform background research on modern industrial engineering aspects that affect the line. By doing so, our team will gain some insight as to what influences this production system and what subject areas to focus on. This will give us a different perspective on the space demands of the F-35 at full rate production. In this portion of the report, two separate articles will be discussed…
