Executive Summary The idea of starting a road side cab services business was driven through our minds due to the fact that it is a highly profitable business based on the fact that many people are becoming very rich in Saudi Arabia due to the existence of oil and growth that is experienced by the country at this point in the economy and most so the region where we have identified as our market stronghold that is on the road sides. Our target market is also majorly composed of the youth who are still very active and whose population is ever increasing day by day, they love fun hence constant movement and high demand for leisure joints provided by our business. Our target market is also composed of the older people who are also rich and target leisure joints to enjoy themselves and sped the excess cash at their disposal. The road side cab and cab services business therefore based on the above strong pillars has a very high viability of rapidly growing and widening its market coverage. This in turn has the effect of increasing sales and in future we project that we would control the leisure and fuel services industry by being the market leader. The most of the advantages that our business have is going to posses is first of all, the proximity of our services to our esteemed customers. Then out restaurants and fuel stations are also located closer to the industries from where we obtain our goods and products hence we are saved from the cost of transportation, this ensures that the costs would incur are narrowly reduced hence high chances that profits would be high signifying prospects of future success in our business operations. The other competitive advantage that our business is likely to have is that it offers a range of products that are innovatively developed, this ensures that all our customers’ needs are always met and satisfied hence good customer rapport which is extremely good for business. Therefore, our team of business with all the facts have a belief and in fact acknowledge that the roadside business identified by us if properly and effectively exploited will be a success in the market place and to a further extent become the market leader given the wide gap that is left unfilled by the other market operators. Business Description & Vision The main statement of the business is to provide excellent services to its customers and in variety. Also the business is geared towards selling th
One of the leading asset managers in the world, Black Rock Advisors LLC, was charged with “breaching its fiduciary duty by failing to disclose a conflict of interest created by the outside business activity of a top-performing portfolio manager” (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 2015a, para. 1). In the case under consideration, Daniel Rice, the manager of the energy sector, violated BlackRock’s private investment policy by forming and funding the Rice Energy Trust and receiving about fourteen million in loans. Together with Bartholomew Battista (the top compliance manager), BlackRock failed to deliver to the board of directors and clients the information about Rice’s intentions and activity. As a result, both sides became involved in fraud concerning the conflict of interest. BlackRock Advisors LLC also agreed to pay twelve million to resolve the case (Lynch, 2015). In the case being investigated, several vital issues should be identified. The first matter refers to the fact that the outside activity of Rice formed a conflict of interest. Rice used his authority and connections from BlackRock for personal interest. For instance, Rice made use of his business connection to receive access to land for drilling (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 2015b). The second issue concerns BlackRock’s approval of Rice’s activity. Legal and Compliance Department of BlackRock, being headed by Bartholomew Battista, knew and accepted the establishment of the Rise Energy Trust despite the fact that it was against the private policy investment. The third issue includes the breaching of fiduciary duty to inform the board of directors and the failure to “exercise the utmost good faith in dealing with its clients — including to fully and fairly disclose all material facts and to employ reasonable care to avoid misleading its clients” (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 2015b, p. 7). Finally, BlackRock failed to work on policies and procedures addressing the outside activity of employees. The case under investigation includes four applicable stakeholders. Daniel Rice and Rice Energy were the first two stakeholders. Rice had the power to use his business connections at BlackRock to establish and form his own business though such activity was not legal. BlackRock and Bartholomew Battista were other stakeholders who failed to follow all legal regulations connected to the employees’ outside activity and the conflict of interest. They should have informed the board of directors and clients about Rice’s plans. As the BlackRock’s became involved in the extrajudicial activity, the final cost of trade-off was twelve million. The situation was resolved with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission involvement in the investigation of the case. The first action the firm had to do was to invite an independent compliance consultant to
Introduction DeVry University is one of the best Universities in the word. This University is wishing to maintain its standard by enhancing security in all the departments, floors, and classes. However, the school board met and decided to use Cisco Surveillance system within its compound. The security manager decided that only high definition Cameras were the best cameras for the security system. The manager requested me to draw a network design switching plan, which applies Cisco 4300 Video Surveillance Camera showing all the necessary materials. This design was to apply: Cisco Hierarchical design model; provide sufficient bandwidth for full HD support; support existing data usage; utilize Power-over-Ethernet for cameras to avoid the use of power bricks or power injectors; support a minimum of 150 cameras; provide connectivity for 120 existing users, printers and servers that will be segmented into four departments/workgroups; plan for 20% future expansion; and minimize rack space. My report was scheduled to be submitted on Wednesday, 18 August 2013. Procedures To get the material needed for the whole project, I visited the Cisco website. Through different search engines, I was able to get all the information about the entire project. I also conducted Cisco customer care for more information about Cisco 4000, 4300, and 4500 series IP camera features. The Cisco customer care also helped me to understand; VLANs switches, IP address requirement, bandwidth requirement, and network hierarchical design requirement. I visited the campus network staffs’ department to get more information about the current network system. I also conducted the stat
Introduction Cyberterrorism is a serious problem and global concern nowadays. It is usually defined as a politically motivated attack via computers or other information technology that aims at causing damage to a person, a group of people, organizations, or a country and widespread fears in society (Jarvis & Macdonald, 2015). The main dangers of cyberterrorism are the inability to identify an attacker, unlimited boundaries, speed, and low costs. Some people do not even understand the reality of this problem. However, research shows that more than 200,000 new malware samples are developed every day (Dascalescu, 2018). Cyberterrorists may create the conditions under which a person can lose $10 or $100 million in a short period of time (Dascalescu, 2018). The requirement of cyberterrorism is high-tech knowledge. Dangers of Cyberterrorism At this moment, a number of attempts are made to deal with cyberterrorism. The government and multiple local and national organizations aimed at promoting overall protection for society. Today, almost every person uses the Internet for a person or professional goals. Therefore, such simple but crucial steps as the creation of strong passwords, the development of firewalls, key encryption, and the improvement of protection systems cannot be ignored. Many newspapers and online forums discuss the importance of protecting emails and PCs because the dangers of cyberterrorism have no limits. Cybercrimes challenge modern society (Kieseberg, Segou, & Roli, 2015). It is recommended to focus on the recent technological progress (new computers and software), social considerations (new social conflicts and concerns), economic impact (the level of unemployment and poverty), and political involvement (unstable political situations and poorly developed national relationships). Protection to Cyberterrorism Though there are many dangers of cyberterrorism, there are also many ways of how to stay protected against such attacks. Sometimes, people ignore such steps as the necessity to change a password from time to time, update systems, and address a professional for help. However, when a person neglects the threat of cybercrime, it is easy to become a victim. Therefore, several protective suggestions have to be considered:   * Create strong passwords and change them from time to time (birth
Introduction The mean age of the sample data is 56.5 years. This implies that the arithmetic mean (average) across all the age-related observations in the sample data provided in the book is 56.5 years. The mean age of 56.5 years shows that the age values of the 10 patients are not skewed towards one end given that the minimum age is 35 years and the maximum age is 86 years. Question 2: Percentage of Patients who Never Used Tobacco From the analysis, it is clear that only 2 (20%) of the patients in the provided sample data never used tobacco. It is important to note that the value “N” represents those who never used tobacco in the sample data, while “F” denotes former use of tobacco and “C” stands for current use of tobacco by the patients. Question 3: Standard Deviation for Age The standard deviation for age is 19.25992. Since the standard deviation denotes a summary measure of the differences of each observation from the mean value, the large standard deviation demonstrated in the table can only imply that the age values in the provided data set are farther away from the mean age of 56.5 years, on average (Rumsey, 2016). Question 4: Outliers among the Values of Age An outlier, according to Grove and Cipher (2017), “is a value in a sample data set that is unusually low or unusually high in the context of the rest of the sample data” (p. 303). As shown from the analysis, the lowest age value in the dataset is 35 years and the highest is 86 years. However, all the other age values are evenly distributed between the lowest age value and the highest age value, meaning that there are no outliers or extreme values among the values of age. A
Introduction In my endeavor to become acquainted with some foreign languages, I found it appropriate to study Chinese, French, as well as, German. The key reason for such a decision is that my preferred job highly demands high experience in the above languages, because of their increased use across the globe. Trading, which is my preferred job, demands that I interact with people of diverse origins; therefore, the necessity of the languages. However, my Korean origin poses a myriad of challenges to me as I pursue trading, which is my preferred job. Main body In my learning center, the teaching of the Chinese language involves a comprehensive teaching approach that ensures its effectiveness. For instance, there is a systematic procedure of acquainting oneself with the language. Moreover, the teaching of the language is conducted by competent personnel who provide a guarantee of accomplishing the undertaking. Moreover, the Presence of customary tracking of succession in the study is an assurance of quality services. Consequently, the clients have confidence, as well as assurance in their study of the language. Significantly, those schools offering the Chinese language have gained a reputation due to their commitment to delivering realistic teaching. However, for a sizeable instance, while studying the language, I have noted the complication of the Chinese language. For instance, the language focuses on memorizing, therefore, the challenge of recalling most of the material learned in classes. In addition to the above, writing of the language entails the use of sole individual symbols together with typescripts. These ought to represent each word of the vocabulary. Moreover, a myriad of characters represents written versions that have a meaning in spoken sounds. Since a reliable dictionary requires about 40,000 characters, it is, therefore, intricate for one to memorize over 3,000 characters, usually essential for one to read an article in the Chinese language. Literature has it that, the Chinese publication has a vast catch globally. Therefore, many people around the globe read Chinese literature daily. In the recent past, the language has experienced an enormous reading on the entire planet. Research has it that Chinese papers comprise of the global happenings. Therefore, they constitute valuable data circumscribing all aspects of life. The vast experience of the Chinese writers from million years ago guarantees lignite data in the prehistoric epoch. Concisely, the Chinese literature enormously encompasses archeological data normally employed by researchers as a critical element in dating events. Conclusion In conclusion, I would recommend the curriculum developers, as well as implementers to include Chinese in their curriculum for its intrinsic value. In addition, the teaching of the language should form its foundation on an inclusive, as well as a comprehensive strategy to enhance its efficiency. For instance, the government can bac
Introduction Eating is the process which enables every living being to live and act. Those organisms that don’t get enough food are getting sick and die sooner or later. The food is the most essential part for supporting physical existence of humans too. Reluctantly, food and eating process is one of the most debatable and important questions of the human culture. The people relation to food was constantly changing from a simple means stave off hunger to an object of worship. This work is dedicated to the analysis of specific characters’ respond to personal circumstance through their attitudes toward food and eating in the novels Chocolat by Joanne Harris and The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood. The work is concerned with the depicting of the importance of the food for self-affirmation in Chocolat and the self-cognition in Edible Woman. The characterization of novels’ protagonists through their attitude to food The protagonist of Chocolat is Vianne Rocher. This woman is a single mother with a daughter. She intends to open a chocolate boutique just in front of the church. Francis Reynaud is the young priest of the church. He strongly opposes the newcomer’s intention. The village is keeping Easter fast and chocolate is one of the restricted products as it contain
Introduction Greek history is very rich. This paper looks at definitions and significance of terms and names used in Greek history. They include: Dark Age, funeral games, hector, Archilochus, Ionia History, Helots, Cleisthenes and Sacred disease. Dark Age is the period in Greek history between 1200 BC and 800 BC. During this period, the Greek generations passed on tales from the poems of Homer. It is believed that Homer was blind and hence the name “dark age.” The Dark Age symbolizes the fall of civilization. In this duration, there was famine, little trade with foreigners and the Greek language was not used. The Dark Age ended when the Greeks began writing (McInerney 17). Funeral games are held in ancient Greek to respect the departed. Patroclus in the Iliad received such honor. Achilles, Patroclus’ friend initiated games which included chariot-race, fighting, wrestling. These games inspired individuals to be the best at all times and this is because the funeral games were performed only for heroes (Latacz 50) Hector was a dedicated and courageous warrior from ancient Troy. He signified heroism in the Greek civilization. He fought selflessly for the Greek people. Moreover Hector does not demonstrate pride; he accepted advice from his wife and bid them goodbye. He was a responsible person who took care of his family and worked as a warrior (McInerney 18) Archilochus is a known poet in ancient Greek. He attempted to put together literature styles in Greek and also wrote several poems. In his writing he said much about the kind of rule seen in Greece. He often criticized tyranny in his poems. Ionia was an un-unified state of the Greeks dominated by Ionian tribe. It was established by the colonialist along the coastal strip of eastern Greek. It is associated with the development of art. There was an established school that taught and focused on both Greek and non- Greek art. This stimulated trade between the Greek and the neighboring communities (McInerney 57). History of Greek in the 5 th century was marked by the Persian war. In this century, there were inventions such as anchor with flukes. Shear legs cast iron and linear perspective began to be used. Furthermore it is during this time when the Book of Law was written by Li Kui a Chinese philosopher (McInerney 57). Significant figures such as Buddha and Confucius lived at this time. Helots were citizens of Greek and most of them lived in Sparta and were neither in slavery nor free. They were mainly farmers and represented a majority of the population. They held festivals and traditional ceremonies (Latacz 6). Cleisthenes was an Athenian leader who came from a noble family. He contributed to the change in the constitution and brought reforms in Athens. In addition Cleisthenes advocated for democracy. He criticized the government for tyranny and as a result, he is considered the father of democrac
A new type of communities is gaining momentum on the web and is reshaping online communication and collaboration patterns and the way how information is consumed and produced [Gros04, Kolb06]. Examples of such communities are MySpace, OpenBC, YouTube, numerous Weblogs and others. In literature different terms can be found to denote the emerging and growing new phenomenon: social software [Bäch06] or peer production [Scho05]. In the year 2005, Tim O’Reilly popularized the term Web 2.0 [O’Reil05]. While the first two terms can be applied also to earlier, already established forms of online communities (for an overview see [Stan02]), the term Web 2.0 is mostly applied to emphasize the differences of emerging communities compared to earlier forms of online communities, encompassing various perspectives – technology, attitude, philosophy. Recently the mass media have picked up broadly the term Web 2.0 and the related phenomenon of emerging online communities (see [Schm06] [Rühl06] [Ohne06]). Social networking communities and web logs are most widely researched certain type of Web 2.0 communities. Since 1927, the renowned Time magazine has published an annual issue that features a profile on the person that “for better or for worse, has done the most to influence the events of the year” (Time, 2002). In 2006, Time’s person of the year was “you” – a collectivity rather than an individual who communicates, contributes and collaborates in a completely new manner using a new generation of the Internet: the social networking communities. By this means, the term social networking has eventually arrived in popular media and proved that it mattered. Today, with YouTube and MySpace, two of the five websites that attract the most user traffic on the Internet are labeled as social network sites. Both websites rely heavily on community building and user contribution. But in fact, social networking goes far beyond just a more socially interactive version of the web. It is a new way of thinking, a new perspective on the Internet and on software. Web 2.0 thrives on network effects. Databases get richer and applications get smarter the more people use them; websites start to interact with each other building the web as a platform. As the definition of social networking is about a set of trends, it incorporates thr
The book “The New Public Diplomacy: Soft Power in International Relations” is a series edited by Jan Melissen. It is made to be used during the studies in diplomacy to reveal some information connected with theory and practice. Initially, the book was edited in 1994. G. R. Berridge was in charge of that version and coped with the task successfully. However, the initiative to adapt the book to the contemporary diplomacy issues and international relations required new editors to improve the work. As a result, Mellissen, with the assistance of general editors Donna Lee and Paul Sharp, improved the series in 2005. Melissen is an experienced educator who works at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations. In addition to that, he is a Director of the Clingendael Diplomatic Studies Program. Lee is a “Senior Lecturer in International Organizations, and International Political Economy, University of Birmingham” and Sharp is a “Professor of Political Science and Director of the Alworth Institute for International Studies at the University of Minnesota” (Mellissen 1). As the book gathers numerous articles, it has many contributors. They all are great professionals who discuss different elements of public diplomacy. Some of them are practicing professionals, such as the Director of the Centre for Political and Diplomatic Studies or the Director of the Fletcher Roundtable. Others are experienced educators, such as the Professor of International Relations or the Professor of Political Science. In addition to that, several researchers provided their articles for this book, including a Senior Research Fellow or a Research Associate. The fact that these professionals represent different organizations can be used to prove that the paper is not likely to be biased. It also ensures that different topics are taken into considerations and diplomacy is discussed from various points of view. The book consists of 3 parts that gather different articles prepared by editors and scientists. The introduction to the whole source is written by Melissen, which ensures that it coincides with the improved content. Each article presented in the book starts with the introduction and ends with the conclusion, which proves that it is properly organized. Such an approach is rather beneficial for students because they can get to know what is going to be discussed without reading the whole article. What is more, focusing on the conclusion, they can get to know which parts of the text are the most critical and req
