    It is my words and memories of the events experienced that will enlighten everyone who reads the book. The industry continues to strive and work to satisfy the public in a positive way. The Transplant Assistance Program at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NE, will be donated a portion of the sales due to my personal contact with them. I was proud to be a living organ donor to sister-in-law, Danunta Glazewska. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the book.

  • Book cover of A Framework for Military Decision Making Under Risks

    This is a study of the applicability of prospect theory to military decision making. Prospect theory posits that the decision maker's reference point determines the domain in which he makes a decision. If the domain is one of losses, the decision maker will tend to be risk seeking, if gains, then he will be risk averse. The author proposes that if prospect theory's propositions are correct, then it may be possible for the decision maker, by assessing his own domain, to make better informed decisions. One implication of this study is that if he can do the same for a subordinate or for an enemy, he may be better able to predict their responses in a given situation. The project's goal is to develop a framework for assessing risk propensity. It does this by first describing the military decision making process and concluding that it is a rational decision making process. Next, the paper describes prospect theory and matches the key aspects of the theory with the military decision making process. Next, it proposes a framework for assessing risk propensity. The theory is tested in a case study of General Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1944 decision to launch Operation Market Garden. This decision is analyzed in terms of Graham Allison's three models for decision making and prospect theory to determine which model or theory seems to provide the best explanations for Eisenhower's decision. The last chapter applies the risk propensity framework to the case study to test if it can predict risk propensity and its impact on decision making. The author concludes that prospect theory's propositions are valid and that this theory provides a prescriptive way to consider decision making under risk. Although prospect theory does not predict the choice a decision maker will select, it should reveal his bias toward a risky or over cautious solution.

  • Book cover of Keeper of Secrets

     · 2015

    Keeper of Secrets provides the answer to the age old question: "Where is my password?" How many times has that phrase run through your mind while you frantically searched for a tiny slip of paper? Akk. Been there, done that. Didn't like the panic. And I can't tell you the number of times I've had to go through the get-a-new-password process. Do I hear a 'yes' from you, too? REMEMBER! Your Simple Solution to Keeping & Organizing Passwords is the original book I created to help me--and you--avoid the stress. Life should be easier, don't you think? Because of the feedback I've received, I created KEEPER OF SECRETS as a 'disguised' version of REMEMBER! With KEEPER OF SECRETS the cover is designed to appear as if the book is one of fiction. Inside the start of the book begins the beginning of a fictional story. The last page is the ending of that story. With KEEPER OF SECRETS, as with REMEMBER!, you have: 1) An alphabetical section for recording passwords and related key information. This includes extra spaces for updating passwords as you change them. 2) A section for other crucial information such as about your Internet service provider. 3) A place to record important email addresses so you don't lose them if your email gets hacked. 4) An area for notes.
