    The metrics that best work to measure Xemba Translations performance on this project is project diagnostic metrics. While not all risks of a project can be mitigated, using this objective data based on these metrics will make a huge difference to mitigate risk.

This can help avoid the, should have, could have, would have moments that may happen once the project closes and gets reviewed from a retrospective project metric.

    Fight Club's Cult: Manipulation and Thought Reform

    Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer asks the question, “How many more Jonestowns and Wacos will have to occur before we realize how vulnerable all humans are to influence?”(3) With this, Singer-- a clinical therapist who specialized in brainwashing and coercive persuasion, considered a giant in the field of cult behavior-- brings the normallytaboo topic of cults in our society to the forefront of discussion. People must be informed and understand what a cult is, and how cults use thought-reform as a means to manipulate and control the masses. If people are left uneducated, senseless acts of self and social destruction will continue to be carried out by followers of proclaimed prophets. Shoko Asahara’s cult_ _“Aum Shinrikyo,” which translates to “teaching of the supreme truth” (Wessinger 121), an organized and violent group, has correlating similarities to Tyler Durden’s following. Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club_ _is a book about a man that creates a following in the form of a modern day cult, in which he uses its members to carry out acts of social terrorism, violence, and self-destruction by means of manipulation and thought reform.…

    As risk manger it is brought to your attention that a Nurse Green in the OR is upset with her rotation schedule and what she feels is slander against her professional abilities. The OR supervisor when asked indicated Ms. Green, had complained to her that a physician, Dr. Ray, had made several passes at her, made suggestive remarks to her and asked her to go out with him repeatedly. Nurse Green indicated she had told him no but he still persisted. She is upset because the new rotation schedule is out for the OR and she was removed from the type of surgery she specializes in which includes all of Dr. Ray’s cases.
