Worst-Case Scenario series

to Pakistan and that our MSR was also their MSR. As a Rifle Company my unit had taken responsibility of the Assistance Platform (formerly Combat Outpost) that sat on a large hill overlooking the village and both lines of communication. As with many transfers of authority, our Company had inherited several enduring operations in the relieving process. One of those operations, a regularly scheduled and repetitive leadership meeting (Shura) at the village District Center, would be among our first patrols conducted within our new Area of Operation (AO). It was during my Platoon’s execution of this mission at an unavoidably predictable location that the enemy in our AO cashed in their vote with catastrophic results. In living my “worst case scenario,” I would have to blindly depend on our collective planning and preparation, my training and instincts, and an ability to operate despite temporary but complete loss of outcome control. We had just under a month in theater and the same amount of time with a brand new Platoon Leader (PL). Many of us in the Platoon had executed hundreds of missions together in the past while many others had not. Although we deployed together to the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) and had established good continuity, as a collective team and in a new AO this was only our third patrol. I knew we were a good team, but not to the extent that I would come to learn. On June 3rd, 2013, we suffered a devastating Mass Casualty (MASCAL) event, and…

recommended in the future medical care provision is medication for pain. Overall, I estimate that we may need up to $10,000.00 to settle out future medical care. Also, since this is a pre-2013 claim, we could include a voucher in our settlement agreement. Please note that in light of the applicant’s date of injury as well as his permanent disability rate, the applicant may be entitled to a voucher in an amount of $10,000.00. Please advise if a voucher has been issued. If not, please advise…

In Antonio López’s The Media Ecosystem, he outlines three potential outcomes for media ecosystems that we will face in the near future. The first is termed “Pangloss,” which represents a status quo, in which the current media ecosystem and systems of power do not shift much from their current positions. The next is a worst case scenario, “Pandora,” where a lack of citizen engagement leads to a media ecosystem of censorship, control, as well as a rise of privatization, and capitalistic values.…

Despite wrapping up the most successful regular season in franchise history, there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re…

Unit 5: Forecasting 5.1 INTRODUCTION Forecasting is an assumption of outcome, before it actually occurs. It is a process where a person makes statements about events whose actual outcomes has yet to come. Prediction is somewhat similar to forecasting, but it is more generic term. To deliver accurate or close to actual outcome forecast, statistical methods like Time series, cross-sectional or longitudinal data, or alternatively to less formal judgmental methods are used. In some cases the usage…

it is guaranteed that you did not appreciate when your your friend teased you about such matters. Most people as they get older they mature and grow out of this kind of humor. What if I told you there was a man that never grew up. A man that became a director to channel his talent into what he considers an art form. A man who ultimate goal is to make you puke. I imagine that would be your worst nightmare, unfortunately this man is real and he exists today. He is known as the Prince of Puke, the…

One man out of the twelve basically convinces all the other men through unrealistic forms of persuasion in a legal setting. Like I previously mention, on the surface this movie portrays logical behavior in the judicial branch, but it does not demonstrate the reality of a jury convicting a man. The movie basically demonstrates that the American judicial process is fair and well constructed through the use of logic. One by one, each of the eleven men are convinced or rather develop a doubtful…
