Given its importance to me, and the fact that I was off that day, I stayed home the entire day, waiting to make sure that I personally received the package because I didn’t want the carrier to leave it in front of the door, as they do sometimes, if nobody opened the door as fast as they would want, and I didn’t want to have to drive to the post office if I missed the delivery. Thus, I am confident that the package was not delivered to my address. However, I have many evidences to believe that the carrier carelessly or unintentionally delivered it at the wrong address. Unfortunately, for the past seven years at this address, I have had mails and packages delivered to me, which clearly indicate completely different addresses on them. In all of these cases, I had to either return them to the post office or let the carriers know they had the wrong address. One time I had my package delivered to my next door neighbor. Fortunately enough, in that case, I had a very kind neighbor who knew me, and she brought the package to me. This time, I am clearly not so fortunate given that I am writing this

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is the total lifespan cost incurred by an organization in purchasing, installing, operating, maintaining, and disposing off any equipment used in daily operations of the firm. In regard to this, estimation of LCC encompasses using a particular approach in identifying and quantifying components of an LCC equation (Pehnt, 2006). The use of LCC as an assessment tool when selecting possible design alternatives results in the provision of a cost-effective solution within limits of available data.

“Machiavelli wrote The Prince to serve as a handbook for rulers, and he claims explicitly throughout the work that he is not interested in talking about the ideal republics or imaginary utopias, as many of his predecessors had done” (Harrison). There is an ongoing debate about which philosopher’s ideas are most correct on the subject of leadership. Two main philosophers come to mind when thinking of this topic and they are Machiavelli with his book The Prince and Plato’s dialogue The Republic. The Republic takes a very theoretical point of view on leadership and portrays life as it should be in an ideal state, whereas Machiavelli’s The Prince, takes a more realistic point of view. Machiavelli is less interested with what things should be

The USPS is at a point where it does not have the financing available to maintain its operations. One reason for the annual net losses is due to the declining rate of first-class mail. The second reason has to do with the required prepayment of $5.5 billion per year toward retirees’ healthcare costs. In order for the USPS to overcome this deficit, they will need to consider their short time frame, government restrictions and labor union backfire in considering the best alternative. One alternative would be to privatize postal services operations which would allow the USPS to change its pricing structure, yet it would potentially significantly reduce market share. A second alternative would be to undergo a system-wide
