The problem with tire recall is that there is no system in place (as of 2014) to track and monitor tires among retailers who might determine at a glance that a specific tire is part of a recall. As ABC News has shown, there is a real and serious need for system reform because of the invisible hazard that exists in terms of unsafe tires that have been recalled being sold to an unsuspecting public. Tire manufacturers have a responsibility to be part of that reform and to develop an adequate method of tracking where all tires are delivered and to whom they are sold so that in the case of a recall, those tires might effectively be removed from the public. Once a recall is issued, the tires should be located, by contacting retailers as well as consumers who purchased them, so that there are no “lost” tires. The sufficient steps to take would include having a chain of custody for every tire sold so that there is a clear paper trail that points out where the tires have gone so that the current owner may be alerted. A method for developing an appropriate chain of custody could include using blockchain technology, which is a type of public ledger that has revolutionized the way that contracts and even currencies are utilized today. Blockchain technology makes a record of every transaction in a public way, so that anyone who is a stakeholder in the blockchain will see who is the current...
In this case, the underlying would be the tires, and the blockchain ledger would allow all stakeholders to see every transaction and where the tires currently are. This method would solve the problem of “3rd class mail” notifications, issued like in the notorious Firestone recall scandal (ABC News).
Tire retailers, like Walmart and Sam’s Club, are also responsible for being aware of tire recalls. Walmart was successfully sued following an accident in which a recalled tire was sold from one of its stores (ABC News). This shows that retailers should be monitoring recalls. Another method that could be useful for retailers would be to have access to a government website that provides information on all tire recalls. Every day, if a manufacturer recalls a tire, the website would be updated to reflect this, and retailers would receive a message alerting them to the update. They can then check the database against their own inventory and have any tires replaced by the manufacturer. For tires that have already been sold to consumers, the blockchain ledger method could be useful here. The ledger could by synced with the government website so that any updates regarding a specific tire that was sold to a consumer would signal for a message to be sent to that consumer regarding the recalled tire. In this way, blockchain and…
corporate or white-collar crime. Specifically, it will discuss the Firestone Tire executives that allowed faulty tires to remain on U.S. vehicles. In mid-2000, Bridgestone/Firestone Tires began a recall of some of their tires that would turn into a massive recall and a public relations nightmare. The underlying problem with the recall, besides public opinion and the cost, was the issue that popped to the surface as the recall began
In the end, he is unable to break the bondage of his immorality, and dies permanently as a result. Death is therefore viewed in terms of the Christian duality of redemption and eternal damnation. The symbol of blood is prominently connected to this duality. Faustus uses his blood as a seal for his deal with the devil, and the blood of Jesus exemplifies the redemption that is available to
How to Assess the Efficacy of Interventions & Outcomes To determine the effectiveness of the treatment that is being provided, you would need to look at the different psychological responses and then determine the underlying degree of the client's involvement, in various forms of therapy.

Childhood Obesity One of the most significant health problems seen in the United States is obesity. Within this dynamic there are particular issues of special concern for the health care industry and society in general, most notably the exponential increase in obesity found among children. (Strauss, Pollack, 2001, pgs. 2845-2848) and (Troiano, Flegel, 1998, pgs. 497-504) "Childhood obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years, and it represents the

Slater, in her usual creative style, believes the current methods of dealing with psychological trauma to be ineffective in regards to the identifying a root cause. In fact, Slater believes the act of talking about a traumatic occurrence in an
