Toward the beginning of the novel Fail-Safe, Congressman Raskob raises his fears over the power of machines then received the response that “machines are developed to meet situations.” To this he responds “Then they take over, they start creating situations.” The Generals there replied that this is highly unlikely and state that “We have checks and counterchecks on everything.” The central issue that leads to all others in Fail-Safe is Raskob’s response “Who checks the checker?” Since no person was controlling the machine that malfunctioned, there was no way to prevent the machine from creating the situation that leads to the doomsday scenario of nuclear holocaust in New York and Moscow. By establishing such a shocking scenario, the novel seems to suggest that; all unmonitored

The Christian belief is that no matter what you do wrong or to what extent, you are always able to be forgiven. As long as you are able to realize and admit to what you've done wrong and are willing to pay for your sins and repent, you will always be forgiven in the eyes of God. In "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the mariner is willing to repent. After committing his sins against nature, he comes to realize that it is not to be taken for granted. By realizing and expressing the beauty that nature is, the mariner is granted his forgiveness in return for penance; his telling of this story.

The Yellowtail Marine, Inc. case combines corporate and industry data with an "in-basket" exercise. It focuses attention on the difficulties of Robyn Gilcrist – the newly appointed President – to efficiently managing the company’s daily operations while at the same time developing a corporate strategy. Robyn Gilcrist has taken over as CEO a few days after the death of Olaf Gunerson, Yellowtail’s founder and former owner. Therefore, there was no proper hand-over for Gilcrist.

Throughout Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and “The Rime of The Ancient Mariner” there are many instances where metacognitive thinking and knowledge are discussed and presented. The word metacognition comes from the root word "meta" which means beyond. The word metacognition can take many forms including knowledge and when or how to use certain strategies to learn or be used to solve problems. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein we see metacognitive thinking throughout mainly through victor and the creature. Both characters are seen very much throughout the story and through these characters we get a great sense of their metacognitive thinking, successfully in ways but for the main part we see these characters as failed metacognitive thinkers.

In Howard Wasdin’s book, I am a Seal Team Six Warrior, Howard shows how his rough childhood prepared him for SEAL training, Operation Desert Storm, and finally becoming a Seal Team Six Warrior. Howard was put through very bad physical beatings when he was a child. This prepared him for BUD/S training. BUD/S training is short for Basic Underwater Demolition/ SEAL training. Out of the twelve men who started the training, only six of them remained after the training. There were a couple of tests and Howard was the only one who passed them all. He was then sent on his first mission as a member of SEAL Team Two. It was called Operation Desert Storm. His goal was to became one of the best snipers on SEAL Team Six. His childhood had prepared him to not give up and

Two System Failures Responsible for Contributing to the Sentinel Event: Insufficient Drug Information and Inconsistent Independent Double-Check System

Furthermore, the Mariner’s imprisonment is symbolized by ships. The sailor’s adventure is set about on a ship with one another’s merry company. Unfortunately, control over their ship is lost just as their luck. It quickly becomes a private prison for the Mariner following the sailors’ pitiful deaths. Ghost ships, Death and Life in Death, are seen arriving, playing a game of dice. This seals the Mariner and fellow sailor’s fate. The Mariner imprisons others by compelling them to listen to his story. “And he stoppeth one of three. –By the long grey beard and glittering eye, now wherefore stoppest thou me?” (Part 1, Stanza

Form and Content of Marine Minerva Cuevas’s piece, Marine, is an informed representation of the oil industry in Mexico. This painting is made from oil on canvas, while the bottom part of the painting is created from chapopote. Chapopote means “tar” in Nahuatl, a language native to the Aztecs in Mexico that is still spoken today. The painting is dipped in the tar to criticize the oil industry in Mexico. At first glance, this painting looks like it is just an ordinary oil painting, but Cuevas adds the dripping tar to create contrast in the artwork.

A perfect marine starter motor is designed to ensure that you are safe whenever you are in the water. Unlike the other starters the marine starter motor is built in such a way that it is protected from any form of moisture. Because of their sensitivity, the marine starter motors undergo numerous rigorous tests to ensure that they are ignition protected. This ensures that the boat is safe from any explosions that may occur from a stray spark from the starter. Additionally, the marine starter motor has been manufactured with high quality materials thus assuring you of a high performing motor that is rust proof and long

“Hey nub, you do realize you’re dinq because you didn’t get that checkout from A-gang the other day?” Unless you’re a submariner, you probably have no clue what this sentence means, however based off the context they can probably tell that the subject is in trouble. It basically means that a junior submariner is behind in his qualification process because he did not get an interview from a member of the conventional mechanic division onboard a submarine.

One of the contributing factors to the project failure is lack of management. The Chief Information Officer, Art Smith, is a former plumbing supplier who is not very tech savvy assigned the MARs project to Kate Cohen. Kate, a programmer, had no prior project management experience. Kate is knowledgeable in computer systems, but lacked the leadership and management skills required to drive this project. When implementing a systems change at a scale this large, the project needs experienced management and proper planning. These characteristics were not accounted for when Art appointed Kate as Project Manager.

NASA launched the Mars Climate Orbiter into space with the objective of studying the Martian atmosphere In December 1998. The spaceship never made to the planet in one piece. When it was close to reach its destination, it passed through Mars' the upper atmosphere it shattered. The main cause of this disaster was that two of the engineers working one the project used different units; one used SI units and the other used U.S. customary units. NASA addressed this catastrophe as “a failure to recognize and correct an error in a transfer of information between the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft team in Colorado and the mission navigation team in California.”(''Mars climate orbiter'',2017)

The Mariner and his crew have been drifting on the windless waves for a while now, with no water. Then appears a spec approaching from the west. The Mariner is the only one who sees it, but he is unable to inform his friends because he is so parched. He bits his arm so the blood can moisten his sunburnt lips and dry tongue. Finally, he is able to warn the others about the ship he seeing driving crazily towards them. It appears as if it is somehow coming closer, plowing through the sea with no wind nor breeze. The Mariner cries, “Gramercy!” and the crew cheers with thanks. The idea of possible rescue and water instills suspense as the sailors watch the ship sail right in front of the sun. This makes them feel as if they are in a state of delusion

Ultimately the fault lies with every person who was a part of the project, except Roger Boisjoly, 3 of his colleagues, and the manager who refused to sign the ok to launch. According to a broadcast by NPR in 1986, Boisjoly’s and his colleague's concerns were escalated to top management. They explained their worries and gave their evidence to the Vice President of Morton Thiokol, Robert Lund. This was then escalated to another meeting with more engineers and managers, which resulted in the conclusion that launching could be catastrophic
