  • Chapter 2 – Aviation Demand Forecast
    CHAPTER 2 AVIATION FORECASTS Oscoda – Wurtsmith Airport Authority Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport Master Plan CHAPTER 2 AVIATION FORECAST Aviation forecasts are time-based projections offering a reasonable expectation of future Oscoda- Wurtsmith Airport activity during the 20-year planning period (2010-2030). Forecasts influence virtually all phases of the planning process, as the relationship between activity and projected demand indicates the type, extent, and timing of Airport improvements for various triggers of Airport infrastructure, equipment and service needs. Primarily, the forecast of aircraft activity is used to quantify the Airport’s operational peaking and capacity characteristics, determine the sizing and space allocation for structures and site development, and form the basis to evaluate the feasibility of various development options. Overall, the forecast predictions attempt to account for factors at Oscoda which could likely influence projections in some significant or substantial way; whether an occurrence of past trends or an assumption of future expectations. As indicated in Chapter 1, the FAA Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) combined with the forecasts developed for the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations continues to support the Boeing 747 heavy widebody aircraft as the Airport’s most demanding, or critical aircraft, used for future facility planning and design purposes. The following forecast components are assessed in this chapter: Aircraft Operations – The number of aircraft landings and takeoffs conducted annually by local and itinerant traffic, including general aviation, commercial and military users. ‘Local’ operations are flights performed in the Airport traffic pattern vicinity, including proficiency training, instrument training and flights from nearby airports. ‘Itinerant’ operations are traffic arriving and departing from beyond the local vicinity.

  • In the Early 2000S, the Music Industry Was Shocked When Internet Users Started Sharing Copyrighted Works Through Peer-To-Peer Networks Such As Napster
    In the early 2000s, the music industry was shocked when Internet users started sharing copyrighted works through peer-to-peer networks such as Napster. Software such as Napster made it very easy for people with digital copies of recorded music to share these digital copies with other users. The industry reacted by suing Napster and users of the software that allowed the digital sharing. While the industry’s lawsuits seemed like a reasonable reaction to this epidemic, it should have immediately established an online marketplace for digital music. Eventually, Apple did address the issue by releasing iTunes. Since the introduction of iTunes, the recording industry has seen a rise in profits. Users are willing to pay for digital music as long as the access to it is simple. However, these digital downloads from legal marketplaces are not actually sales; the purchases are actually licenses to the music. This means that a user who purchases a song cannot resale the song in a secondary marketplace because the first sale exception does not apply to licensed material. Courts have given the software and recording industry great power to control their copyrighted work, but it seems ridiculous that a user who purchases a song cannot sell their song when they no longer care to listen to it. The problem for the recording industry lies in the fact that the digital recording of the work is very easy to copy and transfer. If sales in the secondary market were allowed, one could easily make a digital copy then make then resale the original. It is very hard to track whether a copy of the work is still located on a hard drive, cloud, or other storage device.

  • In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in Youtube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members?
    In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in YouTube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members? NATALIE MAURER Produced in Thomas Wright’s Spring 2018 ENC 1102 Introduction The LBGTQ community has become a much more prevalent part of today's society. Over the past several years, the LGBTQ community has been recognized more equally in comparison to other groups in society. June 2015 was a huge turning point for the community due to the legalization of same sex marriage. The legalization of same sex marriage in June 2015 had a great impact on the LBGTQ community, as well as non-members. With an increase in new media platforms like YouTube, content on the LGBTQ community has become more accessible and more prevalent than decades ago. LGBTQ media has been represented in movies, television shows, short videos, and even books. The exposure of LQBTQ characters in a popular 2000s sitcom called Will & Grace paved the way for LGBTQ representation in media. A study conducted by Edward Schiappa and others concluded that exposure to LGBTQ communities through TV helped educate Americans, therefore reducing sexual prejudice. Unfortunately, the way the LBGTQ community is portrayed through online media such as YouTube has an effect on LGBTQ members and non-members, and it has yet to be studied. Most “young people's experiences are affected by the present context characterized by the rapidly increasing prevalence of new (online) media” because of their exposure to several media outlets (McInroy and Craig 32). This gap has led to the research question does the LGBTQ representation on YouTube negatively or positively represent this community to its members, and in what way is the community impacted by this representation as well as non- members? One positive way the LGBTQ community was represented through media was on the popular TV show Will & Grace.

  • The Four Health Systems of the United Kingdom: How Do They Compare?
    The four health systems of the United Kingdom: how do they compare? Gwyn Bevan, Marina Karanikolos, Jo Exley, Ellen Nolte, Sheelah Connolly and Nicholas Mays Source report April 2014 About this research This report is the fourth in a series dating back to 1999 which looks at how the publicly financed health care systems in the four countries of the UK have fared before and after devolution. The report was commissioned jointly by The Health Foundation and the Nuffield Trust. The research team was led by Nicholas Mays at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The research looks at how the four national health systems compare and how they have performed in terms of quality and productivity before and after devolution. The research also examines performance in North East England, which is acknowledged to be the region that is most comparable to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in terms of socioeconomic and other indicators. This report, along with an accompanying summary report, data appendices, digital outputs and a short report on the history of devolution (to be published later in 2014), are available to download free of charge at www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/compare-uk-health www.health.org.uk/compareUKhealth. Acknowledgements We are grateful: to government statisticians in the four countries for guidance on sources of data, highlighting problems of comparability and for checking the data we have used; for comments on the draft report from anonymous referees and from Vernon Bogdanor, Alec Morton and Laura Schang; and for guidance on national clinical audits from Nick Black and on nursing data from Jim Buchan.

  • Global Fleet and MRO Market
    FOREWORD Oliver Wyman’s Global Fleet & MRO Market Forecast Commentary 2021-2031 marks our firm’s 21st assessment of the 10-year outlook for the commercial airline transport fleet and the associated maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market. We’re proud to say that this annually produced research, along with our Airline Economic Analysis, has become a staple resource of executives in aerospace manufacturing, airlines, MRO, and the financing of the sector through private equity firms and investment banks. The year’s research focuses on airline fleet recovery and growth in the wake of unprecedented challenges from the coronavirus pandemic, as well as related trends affecting aftermarket demand, maintenance costs, technology, and labor supply. The outlook details how COVID-19 has significantly disrupted traffic, fleet dynamics, and MRO. Understanding these marketplace realities are vital to making well-informed business decisions and developing strategic long-term plans for the aviation industry. As you will see from the report, the next few years hold great challenges for industry recovery as COVID-19, economic forces, traveler sentiment, and government policies compel the industry to reimagine its future. In conjunction with each year’s Global Fleet & MRO Market Forecast, we conduct an annual survey on hot topics, critical issues, and new opportunities in MRO. To participate in the 2021 survey, please contact the research team at [email protected]. Oliver Wyman’s Aviation Competitive and Market Intelligence team, partners, and vice presidents are available to assist with any questions about this forecast, as well as with the Airline Economic Analysis, which is scheduled to be released in February.

  • Strategy, Grand Strategy, and the Enduring War on Terror 3
    A HOOVER INSTITUTION ESSAY ON A US STRATEGIC VISION IN A CHANGING WORLD Strategy, Grand Strategy, and the Enduring War on Terror HAL BRANDS Strategy, in national security as in other fields, consists of using the available means to accomplish some important end. Grand strategy requires, among other things, incorporating a nation’s various strategies into a coherent—and solvent—whole. There can be, then, an inherent tension between the demands of successful strategy and those of sustainable grand strategy, for the requirements of maintaining solvency across the range of national programs may limit the amount of resources made available to accomplish some particular objective or meet some pressing threat. This is precisely the challenge the United States faces today in dealing with the problem of jihadist terrorism: the demands of strategy and the demands of grand strategy are Islamism and the International Order International the and Islamism becoming progressively harder to reconcile. The United States has now been fighting a global war on terror (GWOT) for nearly two decades, but the threat posed by extremist groups—particularly those capable of creating geographic safe havens and mounting significant external attacks— remains. The confrontation with al-Qaeda’s “core” after 9/11 led to a struggle against the al-Qaeda “affiliates” in Iraq and elsewhere. That struggle continues, even as the campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (often referred to as ISIS) has taken pride of place in American counterterrorism strategy since 2014. No sooner has the United States suppressed or even defeated one terrorist organization, it often seems, than a new and dangerous successor or group of successors takes its place.

  • Burkina Faso and Around the World
    The Costs of United States’ Post-9/11 “Security Assistance”: How Counterterrorism Intensified Conflict in Burkina Faso and Around the World Stephanie Savell1 March 4, 2021 Summary Since 9/11, President George W. Bush’s “GloBal War on Terror” has morphed into many United States military operations and other government programs run out of civilian offices for military purposes around the world. The U.S. conducts a significant portion of the post-9/11 war effort in the name of offering “training and assistance in counterterrorism” to over 79 countries.2 Many governments use the U.S. narrative of terrorism and counterterrorism, along with the accompanying financial, political, and institutional resources given them by the U.S., to repress minority groups, justify authoritarianism, and facilitate illicit profiteering, all while failing to address poverty and other structural proBlems that lead to widespread frustration with the state. Thus, in a vicious cycle, what the U.S. calls security assistance actually accomplishes the opposite. Around the world, it has fed insecurity, bolstering the militants that react against the government injustices exacerBated by this aid. This paper examines the effects of U.S. security assistance and the profound costs of “helping” other nations wage their own “wars on terror.” The paper draws on the case of Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in the West African Sahel, to which the U.S. has been providing counterterrorism funding and training since 2009. It was only several years later, starting in 2016, that Burkina Faso Began to confront militant violence linked to what local people call “jihadism.” Today’s conflict is rooted in complex regional dynamics, and several parties are responsiBle for committing violence, but the focus here is on the role of the U.S.
