  M2 Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bradley, named after WWII General Omar Bradley, is a replacement for the M113 family of APCs and consists of two types of vehicles, the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle.
The M3 CFV was originally going to be named after General Jacob L. Devers, but it was decided the Bradley name would apply to both, since both vehicles are based on the same chassis (they differ in only some details).
Its chassis is the basis for the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System, a battlefield command post, and an air defense vehicle.

It is a heavy count against a system which claims the special virtue of each MP being the chosen representative of his or her individual constituency if, in the case of nearly a half of them, more of the electors voted against than for them.
While systemic bias could, on the record, be argued to display a certain impartiality, running for one long period in favour of one party and then for another period in favour of the other, such irrational alternations must be held as a count against the system.
It is certainly true that it practised a list system with a threshold of 2% on the basis of large regions for nearly fifty years from the establishment of the republic in 1946, and that this coincided with bewilderingly frequent changes of government.

 F-16 Fighting Falcon - Military Aircraft
While the ferry range of the F-4 was acceptable, its ability to engage in sustained hard maneuvering without running out of fuel was a significant problem.
While Sidewinder's range was limited to about three miles, the Mafia argued that air combat beyond that range was fantasy in any case.
One enduring controversy is whether control systems should, as is the case with the F-16 be programmed to unconditionally limit the aircraft to 9gs, or whether higher loads should be permitted in emergencies.

 San Francisco Fire Dept. Auxiliary Water Supply System
Four days later, by the time the fire was finally extinguished on April 21, all of the City's downtown area was destroyed.
When the entire fresh water system fails or is depleted, there are two emergency saltwater pumping stations built on the Bay's shores, each with a pumping capacity of 10,000 gpm, which can supplement the water supply with saltwater at a pressure of 300 psi.
The system may or may not still warrant this distinction; however, it can be demonstrated that over the years it has served the City well, providing a large concentration of water at the site of a fire in short order, withstanding the many quakes that have shaken the City since 1906 and preventing major conflagrations.

 TOO YOUNG TO DIE / Part Four: Flawed System
The system, a hybrid of state regulation and medical standards, is undermined by competition in the state's multibillion-dollar business of saving babies, say doctors and health care economists.
If the system worked as intended, one economist estimates, the state's infant mortality rate could be cut by 25 percent.
Four years later, the plan -- called regionalization -- became the centerpiece of a national strategy for getting high-risk mothers and babies proper levels of care.

In addition, there are enough superhero gaming systems out there that the question of why I have bothered to make another one must be answered if you, the reader, are expected to bother reading about it.
Being a system that tries to emulate the stories of a particular genre, it's far on the romantic end of the romantic-simulationist spectrum.
I chose the name "four-color" for the system because it's a good name for a comic-book RPG; trying to come up with mechanics that fit in with the name can be a source of inspiration.

 SYSTEM Four Case Studies TUNING
When it comes down to tuning an audio system for its intended environment, there are essentially two ways to approach the task.
But all arguments aside, one thing is generally agreed upon: Optimizing any system can benefit from both approaches, just as it can from a designer's ability to choose components that properly address the needs of the application.
In a perfect world, after all, the idea is to introduce a system which is so perfectly matched to its surroundings that it will require little, if any, tuning.

I think that their views were primarily formed by a lack of understanding of feedback systems – an unwillingness to believe that secondary effects can in the long run be more important than primary effects, what is sometimes called the Law of Unintended Consequences.
The beauty of this from a systems point of view is that as a secondary effect (the primary effect is success or failure) negative behavior results in negative feedback, and positive behavior results in positive feedback.
