In addition, the construction renovation added safety features that helped contain the damage. One reporter notes, "Blast-proof windows that are still in their frames, bolted-down joints that are made to take such an impact, and other marvels of construction and engineering such as steel re-enforced joints, kept the plane from plunging farther into the five rings and five stories of the building" (Drummond 3)
After the Cold War ended, the government added 2,662 Tomahawks and other missiles to its arsenal. It increased air power capabilities by modernizing 961 night-capable aircraft and 707 precision-guided munitions-capable aircraft (Greider 41)
The building is a five-sided "pentagon," it has five floors, and "five concentric rings connected by ten corridors that run, like spokes, from the inner ring to the outer. Interior courtyards that provide light separate the rings" (Johnson)
The basement is divided into fire-safe areas, and the masonry construction is fire resistant. Many important rooms have their own specific fire-fighting systems, and there are sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and hoses located strategically throughout the building (Matthews)
Past experience has shown that change is difficult at the Pentagon and in the Department of Defense. Two writers state, "Changing large organizations is always difficult, and it is especially hard at the world's largest organization, the Pentagon, where special civil service rules, arcane budget and accounting practices, and unique cultural issues converge to make change difficult" (Mcinerney and Pages)
But as the king of the vultures would be no less bent upon preying upon the flock than any of the minor harpies, it was indispensable to be in a perpetual attitude of defence against his beak and claws." (Mills, I
Governmental acquisition can involve many different things. It is important for organizations that deal with governmental acquisition to understand why they do various things and what it is that they must do (Angelis, 35)
This is a very critical step in being able to define outputs, develop systems, identify customers, and trace and collect the costs of the various resources that they have all the way through to the outputs that they produce (Angelis, 35). There are many different models that are designed for collecting and tracing these costs but the most popular one is known as the ABC model (Babbitt, 4)

Efficiency and effectiveness both of products and activities must also be measured. Unit costs can be calculated in order to measure efficiency but outputs must be identified first (Ely, 5)
If the business process that a particular company has is extremely inefficient then it may be necessary for that business to stop and look at specifically what it is doing and why and perhaps adjust some of the things that it does in order to reduce the cost that is involved in specific activities. Each specific activity also has its own unique output (Little, 1999)
Allocating resources correctly and making decisions quickly with the most information available are some of the things that must be incorporated into specific management procedures and that is why this model is so extremely important for governmental acquisition. Not only are benchmarking activities and processes created in this way but goals and standards are established, controls are also established, and various trends and problems are highlighted for consideration in the future (Stidham, 1998)
"Technology makes it possible to have a radiologist in the United States examining a patient in Canada thousands of miles away." (Drache & Sullivan 2005, p
In 1787, a compromise was reached resulting in a new constitution with its amendments called Bill of Rights. Founding fathers were happy with their work but friction between state and federal power resulted in Civil War (Berg, 2012)
John Roche in his essay on A Reform Caucus in Action, debates that the American constitution was a great compromise among states which is a complex matter as an agreement was to be reached between small and large states. He cuts out monetary intentions totally from the discussion (Dalleva, 2010)

Charles Beard was a history professor in Columbia University who debated that constitution was a monetary document written in accordance by men who had immense property to safeguard. The Founders were wise policymakers, not patriots, rather considerate students who were in the business of writing constitution in order to shelter their properties and interests (Folsom, 2009)
Minor states such as Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey foresaw being overpowered, yet they liked the idea of national government. Massachusetts and three southern states aligned with Pennsylvania and Virginia as they liked population-based legislative districts but detested nation government's power given by Virginia plan (Paletz, Owen, & Cook, 2013)
Direct Effects of Corruption on Politics and the Economy Government corruption in Europe and countries has had many effects on the economy and political development. Political development refers to many different things, including the administrative and legal systems developed in a country as well as the government structure and processes (Nye, 1967)
these resources might include public investment (Voskanyan, 2000). In addition the infrastructure of countries that have politically and economically corrupt governments tend to be poorly structured (Tanzi & Davoodi, 1997)
