The statement ‘ action speaks louder than words’ is an old saying. It points out that actions are more revealing than words such that if one is to define somebody then the definition will rather be based on actions rather than words. There are moments when what people say contradict what they actually do. This essay presents the opinion that as the statement implies actions are better positioned to show the true intention than words. In order to show the validity of the statement there is a need to understand what it takes to undertake each of the two actions that is carrying out the actions and speaking the words. The underlying factor is commitment. As a matter of fact words are easy to come out and it really does not take a lot of effort to speak. It is common to hear people lying over the phone of being in one place while they are in a different place. It is worth noting that words can be easily manipulated to fit in a given situation. As a matter of fact words have become a means of self expression that people use to define themselves in way that they see fit. It is almost impossible for somebody to speak badly of him/herself. By using words it becomes very easy for one to define oneself in a way that appeals to everybody. Therefore the argument being made here is that words can be easily manipulated to fit to depict a person in a given way and by the fact that nobody wants to appear strange then there is a tendency for words to be used to depict what actually might not be true. On the other hand actions are taxing and demanding and cannot be carried out without a good consideration. For a person to get involved in an action he/she has to be sure of the results. Actions require
Introduction In the new millennium, man has achieved great things, particularly in the area of technology. But he is left bewildered by it. The rapid advancement in the area of telecommunication, the computer, and the Internet changed everything. It transformed not only the way men live but also in how he sees himself in relation to others. Needless to say human interactions and relationships were affected leading many to lament the negative impact of technology. In the 1960s when everyone was very excited with the prospect of new technologies such as the advent of TV, Marshall McLuhan warned that not everything is desirable. Through the years he was proven right. The following pages will discuss some of the implications of McLuhan’s ideas regarding technology and how it is changing the way we begin to understand ourselves. Technology In recent times it is increasingly difficult to live life without a piece of high-tech gadget attached to a person’s body. If he is not holding it, it is stuffed inside his pocket. If the gizmo is not in his pockets then it is attached somewhere in his clothes and if it is not there then maybe it is in front of him. Technology can be small or it can be big enough to ride on. It can be hidden or it can be front and center like a personal computer or a large plasma HDTV. In other words there is no way 21 st century people can live without advanced technology. But the problem is that his overwhelming need for technology is changing the way he understands himself and even how he understands the people around him. Marshall McLuhan was correct when he said that the reason for all these changes
The wild type of D rosophila melanogaster phenotype has a three-segmented body, which is yellow-brown with black rings that traverse its abdomen and while having red compound eyes. Comparatively, D. Melanogaster mutant also has a three-segmented yellow-brown body with black rings that traverse its abdomen, but it has dark brown compound eyes. Although the color of the eyes is brown, it changes with time as the fly develops. Newborn males or females of D. melanogaster mutants have red-brown eyes, while adult flies have sepia-like eyes. Moreover, mutants and wild-type flies share the same characteristics that reflect sexual dimorphism. All females have a tag-like tip on the distal end of the dorsal surface, and a striped abdomen, while males have a penis, a dark band at the distal end and sex combs. Like in wild type, males are relatively smaller when compared to their female counterparts in the mutants. Besides these notable differences, male and female mutants have no other significant differences that differentiate them. Given that the mutant has dark-brown eyes, an appropriate name for the mutant is ‘ cocoa’ because the color of the eyes and their shape resemble cocoa grains. Additionally, sepia (3-26.0), clout , and brown (2-104.5) are three genes could be responsible for the phenotype of the mutant. Expression of sepia (3-26.0) changes eye color to brown at eclosion then gradually turns dark sepia during the course of maturity. Moreover, ocelli color remains normal despite aging. Similarly, clot causes the eye color to become maroon and turn into a sepia color with age. The final possible gene is brown (2-104.5) , as it expresses itself as light brownish wine at eclosion and then it changes to garnet, hence, resembling the eye color change of the new mutant.
Introduction To become competitive and efficient in their processes, businesses have to transform their operations and redesign their processes in order to serve their customers best. Business process reengineering is the fundamental analysis and the radical redesign of business process with an aim at attaining organizational efficiency and effectiveness while putting more emphasis on the customers’ demands and preferences. The aim of BPR is to ensure business realize major improvements in their performance and achieve the organizations core aims. BPR is normally undertaken to achieve dramatic improvement in performance i.e. by 10 folds rather than 10% improvement in result. Organization structure and reengineering process Business reengineering the organizations structure plays a crucial role in goal attainment. The structure of the organizations determines the procedures to be followed, who to perform the duties and establish the measures for ensuring instituted controls. A business that fails to reengineer the organization structure to become efficient in the provision of customer demands will experience problems and delays in the execution of the duties. There is also a possibility of such businesses incurring high operational cost caused by a large number of employees and losses. The organization structure will also ensure the employees required in doing a particular mandate having the necessary qualifications and experience. In a research organization, the organization structure should be reengineered to allow for flexibility in how duties are performed. A research business that adopts a rigid and bureaucratic structure will not survive in the fast changing environment. The structure should thus be redesigned to allow for an organic structure that is more flexible and essential for innovation purposes. This kind of structure would allow for close interaction and consultation among the various employees at different organizational levels. Here, the attention is given to the knowledge and skills required in doing a role rather than a position held in an organization. Mechanistic organizations structures are preferable in instances that the environment is stable or changes are predictable. Processes Reengineering Every business has processes that are laid down to give direction to employees on performing their roles. The processes in research-based businesses should be simple to follow and understand. The processes must also ensure that the validity and integrity of the research outcome is not impaired. Qualified and knowledgeable persons must be engaged and close monitoring and supervision instituted to ensure adverse deviation and abnormalities are detected
Introduction The issue of race has been addressed quite a sizeable number of times in the U.S. movie industry. “Boys ‘n the Hood” is one of these movies, where the focus on the devastating conditions in which the target population is forced to live every single day of their lives is expressed through emotionally loaded mise-en-scène. Serving as the means of conveying emotions and showing character development, the mise-en-scène in “Boyz n the Hood” is a perfect example of an impeccable choice of the background, the camera movement, and the manner in which the characters interact. The focus on detail in the mise-en-scène design in “Boyz n the Hood” serves to demonstrate the director’s preference for realism as the expressive tool for portraying the life of the African American community members in the inner city environment of the 80s Los Angeles, which makes the mise-en-scène immediately relatable, while simultaneously placing the movie in a time capsule. Analysis Considering an example from the movie, one might want to pay closer attention to the scenes in which Jason “Furious” Styles explains the problem of gentrification to his community members. Although the scene in question is seemingly simple and rather basic, it conceals several peculiar approaches that place certain ideas and characters in the limelight, at the same time delineating their roles in the narrative. For instance, in contrast to the rest of the people participating in the conversation, Furious shifts slightly from an angle, with the camera filming him from underneath (Singleton). As a result, Furious seems taller, and his role as a leader becomes more pronounced as the audience perceives him as being above the viewers. Compared to Furious, the rest of the participants’ pf the conversation is shot very plainly, with the camera panning over their faces (Singleton). However, even as simple as the latter approach is, it still helps to point to specific characters in the crowd, such as the Old Man character, whose role in the specified mise-en-scène is to question Furious’ speech and represent the opposing side of the argument. Therefore, the use of the mise-en-scène is truly masterful and elaborate in “Boyz N the Hood.” Although some of the strategies used in the movie to depict the relationships between the characters and explore their personalities with the help of the mise-en-scène that were innovative at the time can be considered traditional com
Introduction Saudi Arabia ARAMCO Company is an international producer, marketer and distributor of oil and gas products. Competing in the global markets, ARAMCO Company is one of the leading companies in the industry however, along with its competitors; the firm faces various challenges of rising costs brought about by the high demand for quality, rapid evolution of production industries to conserve the environment and rising market division. A highly contested but promising E-market segment was in place through the recent system’s automation. Firm management strategies highly depend on resources and facilities as a measure towards economical expansion. Supply chain management consequently depends on progressive and efficient production and distribution. Brief History of ARAMCO Arguably, Saudi Arabia ARAMCO Company has the most heavily traded oil products and gas in the world. Production and trade of the commodities is critical due to their value in the market. Saudi ARAMCO is a world-leading producer of the two manufactured goods with a production of approximately ten million barrels per day to satisfy only 10% of the world consumers (Lambert, 42). Saudi ARAMCO Company is concern with processing, refining and distribution of the resources across the extensive international network. The company owns an array of crude oil and gas auxiliary branches and joint ventures across the globe for enhanced supplies. It has a connection to the world’s leading convoy of greatest oil-transporter tankers to deliver crude oil and refined oil products or gas across its worldwide customer base. The firms has a extensive impact on the global economy due to quantity of oil products it handles and therefore the need for an engagement that runs far beyond the need for management of a large, successful and profitable business. Saudi Arabia ARAMCO Company faced various challenges connected to management of employees, production and supply activities as well as organization procedures. This was an urgent call for automation of the systems to enhance management and incorporate all its expansion programs, which were growing at an alarming rate in 1990s. The performance was well but the system faced a common weak point of lacking a proper mechanism to share information across the branches. Today, the ARAMCO company has an interconnected system among all its myriad organizations such as “Geo-steering Centre, Hydrocarbon Supply Chain management, Aviation, Medical Services and Project Management” (Lambert, 42). Analysis of the industry’s performance The oil and gas manufactory industry is among the highly advancing firms with regard to the economy. The economic growth indicates that such companies are a big support to the other production and retailing companies. ARAMCO experiences a huge and persistent growth in the production and supply industry concerning consumer base, however growth of demand increases the need for the firm to undertake effec
Introduction The fact that religion has been an important factor in human society is difficult to debate. When religion is viewed as the phenomenon of institutionalized belief, it is apparent that it is a major element of human culture. It tends to affect and even shape multiple aspects of the life of a society, which will be defined here as a community or group of people. The factors that religion can affect include, for instance, customs, practices, values, as well as politics, economy, and some more tangible phenomena like art (Wu 106-109). Given that this scope of influence cannot be dismissed as insignificant, it can be stated that religion has been and remains important in varied societies all over the world from multiple perspectives, including economic, political, and cultural ones. Main body As it was stated, religion tends to affect the politics, economy, and culture of a community. For example, the study of Chinese religious beliefs demonstrates that Daoism has had a major impact on the country by bringing legitimacy to the power of the dynasty (Wu 109). Consequently, the rulers of China supported Daoism while Daoism supported them. Furthermore, Daoist rituals were used to develop frameworks for varied interactions, including economy-related ones; merchant guilds, in particular, were guided by Daoist principles (Wu 106). Wu does not make specific suggestions about the nature of such phenomena, but since they resulted in stability and established a functioning structure, they might be viewed as beneficial at least from certain viewpoints. In effect, Wu points out that religious organizations of the country performed multiple functions, including “economic, cultural, political” ones (106). Examples of cultural effects include,
Introduction Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) may be described as the type of diseases that are typically transmitted when an infected person engages in sexual intercourse with an uninfected person. A good and very common example is gonorrhea. It is caused by a bacterium, Neisseria gonorrheae , whose growth is favorable in the warm and humid parts of the human reproductive system. In. women, the bacterium can grow in the uterus, cervix as well as the fallopian tube because these areas have favorable conditions for its growth and multiplication. In both men and women, it can grow in the urethra as well as the mouth and the anus. Gonorrhea has been a very common STD in the U.S. with an estimate of over seven hundred thousand people being infected every year with only half of the infections being reported to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 1980s and early 1990s, the rate of nationwide gonorrhea infections had reduced due to the introduction of a program to control gonorrhea in the mid 1970s. However, after many years of control, the rate elevated once more with 120 infections in every 100 000 population. Transmission Gonorrhea, just like other STDs, is transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. The transmission may occur through anal entry besides the normal vaginal entry. Transmission may as well occur from mother to child. Engaging in a sexual relationship does not, however, mean that someone will get infected but rather may get infections that are transmitted sexually such as scabies. People who have had gonorrhea and received treatment are at a higher risk of being reinfected once they have sexual intercourse. Most infections in the U.S. occur among teenagers who engage in sexual activities. Anyone that is sexually active regardless of age can as well get infected. Signs of gonorrhea Not all men will show indications of gonorrhea infection. In some other cases, the signs may only take five days to show after infection has occurred. Generally, the signs of gonorrhea infection take as long as thirty days to show. The common symptoms in men include di

Executive Summary Supply chain management is a very essential aspect in any organization irrespective of its size and should therefore be considered in the undertakings of an organization. This is because it determines the success or failure of the particular organization through its influence on efficiency, effectiveness, productivity, economy and profitability. Toyota and Ford are different companies that are in the same industry (i.e. motor industry) but they both apply different supply chain management practices depending on what they deem appropriate and effective all aimed at achieving success in the companies. Supply chain management is a practice that entails what a company engages in and the manner in which the activities are carried out in an effort to achieve the best. It is faced with various challenges and strategic planning is therefore necessary. Introduction Different organizations and companies have different management styles and practices depending on their specific objectives and goals and how they intend to achieve them. Supply chain management entails the coordination of aspects (like resources for instance information, materials etc) as they move through the distribution channel, (I.e. from the suppliers to the manufacturers to the wholesalers to the retailers and finally to the consumer). Supply chain management is a practice that involves the coordination and integration of the above within and among different companies with an aim of achieving efficiency, effectiveness, economy and profitability in the organization’s activities and practices. Companies should strive to establish and maintain an effective supply chain management system that reduces inventory under all circumstances. A general supply chain management chain is composed of the finances flow which entails payment schedules, terms of credit and arrangement of title ownership and consignment, the information flow (which covers aspects like transmission of orders and updating the delivery status) and the product flow (which entails the movement of products and services from the suppliers all the way to the consumers) (Iver and Vasher 2009). This paper looks into the supply chain management practices that are applied by the Toyota and Ford companies and the various aspects associated with the practices. Describe And Critically Analyse The Supply Chain Management Practices Employed By Both Of These Companies. Toyota is a motor company founded in 1937 with it’s headquarter in J
