The pay is moderate, so it would be pretty difficult to become independently wealthy working for the Postal Service. But, there are some employees that believe if they work, as much overtime as possible, maybe they can become rich. Unfortunately, this poses a daily obstacle to overcome for most managers in the U.S. Postal Service.

TYPES OF AIRSHIP Two basic types of airship have been developed: the rigid airship, the shape of which is fixed by its internal structure; and the nonrigid blimp, which depends on the pressure created by a series of air diaphragms inside its gas space to maintain the shape of its fabric hull. Inventors sought to combine the best features of these models in a semirigid type, but it met with only limited success. Today only the nonrigid airship is used. Rigid Airship The rigid airship's structure resembled a cage that enclosed a series of balloons called gas cells. These cells we ...

... should be. Whether an organization has good or bad ethical standards, ethics is an issue for all people. “Ethical problems arise not only from the difficulties experienced in making a valid moral judgment, but also from practical obstacles to the execution of even a correct decision” (Pastin 1). Often, it is harder to go through with a morally correct decision even though you know it is the right thing to do. More often than not, the temptation to take the easy way out is overwhelming. There are many definitions of ethics, but, according to author Herbert Johnston, ethics is concerned with two things: human conduct and what ought to be done (John ...

... approaching retirement, can choose benefits that will maximize his/her retirement income as much as possible. With his/her own children grown-up, he/she needs to attend only to his/her own needs. Also known as “cafeteria plans,” the organization offering a choice of applicable benefits to their employees ensures that the benefits for which they pay are the most useful for each of their employees. Costs are rising in almost every area of benefit provision and administration. The organization is able to secure more favorable rates for those benefits used, if the organization is not required to provide the same service to each employee (Webster, 1996). Employee benef ...

... living purposefully, and living with integrity. Each matter is discussed in detail, and personal stories are narrated to give evidence of unique case studies in which these topics are found.

... of the car off of your taxes. This is also a good thing to do instead of trading your old car to the dealer when you buy a new one. Your old car will go to help someone and you may even come out making a little more money in the long run. Antiques and collectables are also good to donate, but the amount of money you receive is wavering. For instance, if you donate a collectible to a museum, and the museum keeps it for display, you receive a market value deduction. But, if the museum decides to sell it, you only receive the amount that you paid for it, so you break out even. Another catch is that you have to own the antiquity for at least a year in order to receive ...

... school named "Springfield." The Simpsons, a constant festival of disrespect, has graced television (if "graced" is a word that can ever be applied to the cartoon family) and the United States with a greater impact than most television series ever created. No wonder such a debate has arisen around the characters, their lives, and, most importantly, their attitudes. Artist-cartoonist-writer Matt Groening's animated family began life as disruptive little drawings tucked in between the sketches of real actors on "The Tracey Ullman Show" in 1987. Groening says that he created these bright yellow, bulgy-eyed characters-Homer and Marge Simpson, along with their ...

... ten largest mass killings in American history have taken place in the last decade (Douglas, p. 137). One of the most popular and well-known serial killers in history was Ted Bundy. He was convicted of killing three women but is suspected of killing thirty-six other women (Douglas, p. 137). So what makes a serial killer? Levin points out that contrary to popular belief, serial killers don’t just “snap” or “go crazy” (Douglas, p. 137). Many of the serial killers have been the victims of childhood abuse. Jack Levin stated “Research shows many serial killers suffered abuse, incest or neglect as children and develop poor self i ...

... couple of years an energy crisis crippled the nation in October of 1973. People not only did this to aid nature, moreover people wanted to be more independent in case future energy crises should arise. In addition to just reusing old building materials, recycling was executed on a large scale by renovating old buildings instead of knocking them down and building from scratch. Besides recycling, steps were taken in the creative and high-tech arenas to permit the use of natural energy. As mentioned before, these two issues were not the only ones that were covered during the year, but they were by far given the most exposure. There were of course different styles of h ...
