Sunset

My first picture in the "aviation photography" section of my blog was the "sunrise over the Atlantic". In this picture however, I have captured the sunset over Europe in July 2013. Again it is overcast weather outside. However we were not as high over the cloud level as we were in my first picture ( over the Atlantic ocean). Thus, the cloud layer seems pretty close to the plane but it still reflects the pink-violet sunset effect beautifully.

Taking off from Venice Marco Polo Airport - July 2013

The marsh area just next to Venice Marco Polo Airport gives an interesting view during take off from Venice. The land seems green however we are definitely over water.

Northern take off from Istanbul Atatürk Airport - August 2013

Rosolina Mare, Italy - July 2013

Picture shows Rosolina Mare which is located in the Northern Adriatic coast of Italy. The descending path for airplanes approaching from the East and going to Venice, crosses very near Rosolina Mare. So almost at the beginning of the descending path, my window seat gave me a good view of Rosolina Mare at high altitude.

Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean

I took this picture during a JFK - Amsterdam flight on a KLM Boeing 747-400. The picture shows the overcast weather during sunrise at a very early hour in the morning as we continue to cross the Atlantic Ocean on September 1, 1986. The camera is Voigtlander. Manual settings allow a sharp focus for far distances. The view outside looks quite new which is in fact from 1986.

Critical relationship between an organization (of a hospital) and a physician

Physicians may be reluctant for total quality management systems due to concerns that sensitive patient-physician relationships might be affected. The main reason is the fact that total quality management implies “standards”. However, according to the physicians every patient and medical case implies a distinct process and they can not be standardized. Thus quality management may restrict the resources allocated for patient care.

It is very important that those leaders that want to implement a total quality management model should clearly demonstrate and prove that total quality management is not an audit or control mechanism but it is a system that helps to investigate root causes of problems and find their solution methods.

Quality management team plan used at Michigan University Medical Center

1)      Define the process

2)      Arrange the data

3)      Analyze the root causes

4)      Determine alternative solutions

5)      Measure the change for solution

6)      Apply the alternative

7)      Plan for the future
