Abstract New projects are rolled out everyday in various organisations. However, only a few projects are completed successfully. This is due to the fact that most companies fail to plan ahead and are hence unable to cope with the unforeseen challenges. This paper will focus on the crucial elements that JJ motorcycles should address as the company moves to the production of touring class motorcycles. Among the issues that are likely to fail, this project include leadership style, risk control and lack of resources. Introduction Every organisation comes up with new projects due to its strong desire to accomplish its goals. JJ motorcycles has been very successful in the production of low fuel consumption motors. The company has actually identified an untapped opportunity in the market, and that is why the new project has been proposed. Projects are meant to make a positive contribution towards the achievement of company’s goals. This implies that there would be no need of introducing a new range of motorcycles if there is no benefit to be experienced at the completion of the project. Planning is very important in project management. JJ motorcycles, in particular, has carried out thorough research to identify the target market for its new range of motorcycles. Since the project at hand entails the addition of a new inventory product in the company’s stock, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive research to understand the needs of the market. Ideal Project Organisation Style The most ideal type of project organisation for JJ’s project is strategic planning. This approach suits the plan because it will be completed within the next 5 years and hence it is not a short term goal. In this style of project management, the manager delegated by JJ motorcycles should assess the company’s abilities and weaknesses. It is the best way of successfully planning ahead. The production of touring class calls for the improvement of the company’s output. This means that more manpower has to be brought on board because the current number of employees cannot cope with the sudden increase of the workload. Moreover, it is recommended for the project to be executed gradually. This approach will give JJ motorcycles ample time to measure the results obtained after the introduction of motorcycles. Though it is stipulated that engines within the range of 500 cubic centimetres will generate approximately between $50,000 and $100,000, there is a need to validate this speculation. Besides that, it is necessary to empower the current employees on a continuous basis. New processes might be introduced and may only be assigned to employees who have the relevant skills and experiences (Dennis 2007). It is therefore recommended that the project be implemented as a pilot one. This means that the existing line of production will be maintained. Balancing Short and Long Term Needs In every project, there are
Introduction: The Service Efficiency Studying at the college involves a number of issues that require considerable care of the college administration and provide an efficient work of the entire system. One of such is the issue of returning phone calls to the college students, which has grown quite essential, since, even with the advent of a high-tech era, people still might fail to receive a phone call and need a certain feedback from the institution which they applied to, e.g., the university or college. Once failing to return a call, a student is likely to miss certain essential information, which will hinder his/her progress. Hence, it seems that the issue of returning phone calls to the college students remains the problem that has to be dealt with. The Issues to Be Covered It is essential to outline the major issues that one is most likely to encounter when solving the given issue. It is necessary to admit that the college administration has to face certain limitations when trying to get in touch with the students. Among the most widespread ones, there is fact that there is actually no person responsible for solely delivering the information to the students. According to what Moore (2009) says, “midway through the semester faculty, counselors, or advisors contact students who show signs of academic difficulty” (p. 31), yet the author clearly shows that there is no medium for transmitting messages from a student to the college or vice versa. Offering Solutions: I See the Light Among the most obvious ones, the necessity to hire a receptionist who is going to answer the phone calls of the students is obvious. With the assistance of a professional, one is likely to obtain the required results In quite short time. Moreover, it can be suggested that with a specific person assigned for the given job, the process of receiving back calls is going to be more orderly. The second solution presupposes that the students should offer several phone numbers of theirs, including the mobile phone numbers. The Research Methods Obviously, one of the most fruitful methods for the given research is collecting the data on the lack of college administration efficiency based on the questionnaires for students. In addition, it is required to offer a statistic data on a number of calls that have not been returned to the administration (McCellan & Stringer, 2009). Hence, the most objective data will be obtained. Conclusions: The Probable Suggestions It is necessary to mark that, according to the data mentioned above, the problem of returning calls to the college administration or the staff is rather complicated and requires thorough considerations and immediate solutions. Once tackling with the given issue, one is most likely to solve the problem once and for all. Hence, certain suggestions concerning the ways to resolve the issue are to be offered. There is no doubt that, once applying into practice the suggested means of solving the problem, the college administration is likely to succeed in receiving the back calls from students. Hence, it is obvious that specifi
Introduction Since the dawn of civilization, two countries dominated the East Asian landscape namely China and Japan. China considered itself to be the ‘Middle Kingdom’ to whom all others states required to pay obeisance. Japan too had a proud lineage of warrior class who were fiercely proud of their independence. Through the ages, China became inward looking, content with its own prowess and achievements in science and technology little realizing that the winds of change were blowing in a direction different from the one which they had charted for themselves. These winds of change commenced with the Reformation in Europe in the 16 th century in which the European powers sailed far and wide and set up colonies the world over. By the 18 th century, the European powers and the United States had covered most parts of the world and the stage was set for a period of tumultuous relations in East Asia. This essay attempts to explain the geopolitical power play that ensued during the period 1750-1921 A.D in East Asia, focusing on the affairs of Japan and China in relation to the Western Powers.

Introduction The issue is that discrimination of customers with disabilities took place because defendant did not want to take additional expenses. Role of Law The role of the law is to regulate such cases and to provide necessary tools for both sides to prove their point of view. These incidents are governed by The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (Parry 51). Specific rules also should be stated in the law. Defender and plaintiff should understand that there are various standards of pleading for different cases (Crocker 1). Analysis The case is not as one-sided as it may seem at first because numerous points should be proven. Any instance of a disabled person being treated less favorably can be defined as discrimination (Wright, 19). First of all, it is necessary for a plaintiff to provide evidence that he suffers from a disability (Wiener and Willborn 22). Also, the customer should prove that he would be able to perform this activity if he was able to get the access to the restroom (Oakes 123). Defendant has stated that customers with disabilities should use ladies restroom. However, it is not reasonable. Such facilities must be accessible to people with disabilities according to the law of California. Furthermore, the fact that this particular restaurant a place of public accommodations has been proven according to the specifications listed in ADA. Conclusion In conclusion, the court has made a correct decision. It is an obligation of one to support his or her views when having a burden of proof (Imran, McKeown-Green Jonathan, and Webster 260). Plaintiff was able to provide all the necessary pieces of evidence to prove his claim. He has suffered from this incident, and the stationary minimum is a reasonable award in this particular case. Additional circumstances were also accounted for.
Alfred Hitchcock and Allan Poe are two of the most celebrated writers of all times. Their books and movies have received immense praise throughout the centuries. Those in the industry of movie production and directorship, who are trying to give an understanding to the audience of the different cultures that have been adopted by the Americans, can get great inspiration from Hitchcock and Poe. Their different approaches to the happening of the world around them, yet so similar in very many ways, have seen them put in lots of hard work in the investigation of the diverse emotional and behavior representations that usually shape different characters seen in most of their movies. There has always been a vast and complex relationship between cinema and art, their relationship being most problematic, at best (Sloan 32). However, during the last decade or so, it has become clear that the innate relationship between cinema and the visual arts is paramount for the creation of good-quality movies and literary works. Fear, dread, shock, as well as suspense, are the basic foundations on which most of Allan Poe’s stories and films are created. In the same light, most of the films, essays, and other writings are done by Hitchcock are based on the creation of suspense, mystery, and surprise. There are certain commonalities between the artistic and symbolic representations of both writers/directors, especially in their representation of the madness and paranoia that exists in the world when people are placed in isolation and the reality of the nature of human beings in their reactions towards culture and society (Sloan 37). Though most audiences and movie critics would consider Hitchcock’s character and plot development techniques in the creation of Vertigo and Rear Window as being influenced by therapeutic cultures or a revision of the Victorian character, it is clear that his characterization and plot development is strongly influenced by Poe’s techniques of suspense creation, indicating that his film making techniques are both borrowed and original. In the words of world-renowned writer James Somebody, there is a big difference between the creation of mystery and suspense. Though most people cannot directly define suspense, they are well aware of its presence when they see it on film. Divergent from popular belief, the Hitchcockian methodology of creating suspense and mystery bears no relationship to fear. Rather, it is the creation of a state of mind in which the audience is always waiting for something to happen. Vital to this is the seamless differentiation that exists between the creation of suspense and surprise (Perry 224). Put simply in the words of the great director, Hitchcock, if there is a scene with two characters conversing in a café, and a car explosion suddenly goes off from a nearby street, then the audience experiences surprise as this was not expected. Conversely, if the audience were, beforehand, let in on the saboteur placing the car bomb inside the car, is told that the bomb will go off at exactly twelve o’clock, sees the car being parked near the café, and can see the clock a
Introduction Communication, a word with so many meanings, terms and buzz words attached to it, single-handedly forms the baseline for many of the facets of our everyday lives. Among everything that existent today, communication is the key to our understanding of events around us. It forms the basis of all sciences, all disciplines and the means by which we know, understand and “communicate” our ideas, beliefs, values to the members of our society. This is communication. It is this communication that differentiates us from the rest of the beings, in existence today. But how do we define communication? What exactly does communication mean to us? How does it impact our daily lives? Any interaction between two or more individuals aimed at sharing thoughts, experiences, ideas, perceptions and messages can be termed as ‘communication’. Communication is a two-way process that involves the sender creating and encoding a message and transmitting it across the communication medium. The message gets transferred to the recipient, who receives it, decodes it to retrieve the contents and interprets the message, as sent by the sender (Com 2008). Communications Revolution During the past decade, the world has undergone a complete communications transformation, rather a revolution, owing in big part to the technological breakthroughs of today, which has shaped our new lives, both personal and professional in a manner previously not thought or unchallenged in any part of the globe. There have been various reasons for such a revolution, the foremost of which is extensive and even more, exclusive control (Rev 2007) over the information content they wish to view or ignore. It is now becoming increasingly challenging for companies to stick only to the traditional norms. Without adapting to the newer environments, many companies and businesses today face risks of extinction, and starkly declining chances of leveraging from their existing customers. Due
Introduction Ever since television first became popular, it also started to be recognized as a powerful resource for influencing people. In particular, television can be characterized as one of the mass consumer products that, due to its incredibly ubiquitous nature, have to stay flexible in order to fit the needs of its highly fragmented audience. Throughout every day of the week, many different kinds of programs are aired on TV. Each of such programs has a particular primary purpose. For example, advertisements are meant to persuade the viewers, news programs are expected to inform, and TV shows and movies – to entertain (Vivian, 2014). However, television programs are known to produce complex and multifaceted effects on their audiences. For example, misrepresentation of certain population groups on news programs, reality shows, or in films may communicate a wrong message to the viewers, thus promoting flawed values and could harm the misrepresented communities. As a result, applying media literacy for the purpose of analysis of a certain TV program, one needs to review the selected item from a variety of angles. The goal of this paper is to explore “Empire,” a popular TV show, and identify its meaning as well as the impact it produces. In particular, the analysis will be comprised of the introduction of the selected show, the examination of its background, and the impressions it makes on critics, the industry that produces the show, the social context that accompanies the show
Introduction With the cost of living rising, more Americans have more than one job and as a result, they have less time to eat or even prepare a decent meal. Most of them operate under tight schedules moving from one job to the other as they try to cope with the economic hardships. As a result, more and more Americans (from children to adults) are now taking fast foods which are not healthy and this has led to complains that Americans are becoming fatter and fatter as years move on. As a result, health conscious people have been advocating for the government to regulate the food business an issue which has faced both support and opposition from different sectors. The question which rings in many discussions are “Should the government regulate the food industry”? From my own opinion, I don’t think it would be advisable for the government to regulate the food business. Americans live in a free land where they are free to choose what to do as long as it does not harm other citizens. If someone chooses to visit a fast food joint to go and take his or her food, eat and then go to work, where is the problem there? The individual does not have the time to go and prepare a decent meal since as the cost of living rise, many citizens have opted to multiple jobs in an effort to save and also pay their debts. May be if he had enough time he could have taken or prepared a decent meal. As long as the government advises its citizens on the advantages of taking decent balanced meal, what ever they choose to take should be their own problem. They won’t become obese because they were forced to eat from a fast food they will become obese because it was their choice to eat from the fast food joint. It’s their freedom and whatever happens to their bodies should be left for them to live with the consequences. Take for example of a person who works in four different jobs in a single day with the breaks from one to the other just being enough to allow them move from where they are working to the next. What will make them not pass through a fast food joint and take something to eat before they can reach the other place of work? If the government regulates the food industry will this person not either lose the job by being a routine late comer and if he doest take the food will his productivity not go below the expected levels due to hunger resulting in losses or even being fired. On the other hand, the US is a recognized capitalist country which allows markets t
Heart disease can be caused by high levels of salt, sugar, refined carbs, and saturated fat present in various foods. All indications in anthropometric data and Zachary’s diet show a danger of getting heart disease easily. Zachary takes foods like sausages, vegan cheese, juice oranges, and coffee brewed, which are highly rich in calories, fats, and sugar. Foods like burgers, French fries, beer, ice cream, and cookies pose the threat of increased sugar, calories, saturated fats, and weight gain (Challa et al., 2018). This can lead to an increase in cholesterol in the body, which clogs blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, leading to stroke or heart attack. Zachary should observe the following recommendations to improve his diet:   * He should drink water or soda water to avoid drinks rich in sugar like Pepsi and orange juice.   * He should choose breakfast foods rich in fiber with low sugar levels, like unrefined grains or oat porridge.   * He should consider consuming boiled potatoes, not fried ones like French fries.   * He should choose foods that are gluten-free, such as unprocessed plant and animal foods.   * He should consider frequent exercise to burn the excess calories and cholesterol in his body and blood stream. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH diet) is a diet recommended for those who want to prevent high blood pressure or reduce their risks of getting heart disease. The diet focuses mainly on fruits, grains, vegetables, and lean meats. Research has shown that hypertension is lower in those who consume fruits, vegetables, and lean meat like fish and chicken (Challa et al., 2018). The DASH diet discourages the use of red meat, excess sugar, salt, and fat. Reference Challa, H. J., Tadi, P., & Uppaluri, K. R. (2018). DASH diet (dietary Approaches to Stop hypertension).

Water is one such resource that is quickly being depleted, not because there is a scarcity of it, but due to our carelessness. Our planet is made of 70% water and yet most areas of the world are without water. Drought-like conditions are faced daily and mostly in summer times when the supply of water is low. The question one usually asks is where are we going wrong? The answer is simple yet astounding. Since water is plentiful, just like the environment, people use it freely without giving a thought to its implications. However, it is only when water resources start to deplete that people realized that conservation needs to be done. And this is exactly what is happening to the environment where pollution has been emitted for centuries and only now that its implications are clear, saving the environment is given a thought. The Middle East is one of those areas of the earth where drought-like conditions have been experienced for many centuries and the availability of water is costly. Large projects have been undertaken in desert states like Dubai and Qatar to only bring water to the state but to make it plentiful. However, to conserve the cost of this important resource, certain steps are being taken by the respective governments and people themselves who realize that water is not disposable anymore. According to research, an average household in a Middle Eastern state consumes approximately 500 liters of water each day. And a general breakup of this consumption given by the Waitakere City Council (2008) is   * 10% in kitchens,   * 20% in use outdoors,   * 20% in laundry,   * 25% in toilets, and   * 25% is bathrooms. This average ratio of consumption seems fair in the sense that all of these reasons are necessary for humans to live a hygienic and healthy lifestyle. The following discussion will explain how technology can help to reduce the consumption of water in each of these areas. Kitchens & Laundry Kitchens utilize water mainly for washing purposes and the main water consumer is the dishwasher. Dishwashers utilize a huge proportion of water first by rinsing the dishes, then washing them with power jet cleaners mixed with soap, and then rinsing them again for a clean wash. Washing of the clothes is a hygiene matter and people either use commercial dry-cleaning washers or home washing machines to do their laundry. These machines work just like those dishwashers except, they have a few more cycles of washing as cleaning clothes is a little more difficult than cleaning dishes. Using modern front-loading machines rather than top-loading machines can reduce the water consumption by 50% since they use lesser water, lesser detergent but take longer cycles to clean. (Waitekere City Council, 2008) Outdoors People, who have the luxury of owning backyards and lawns, utilize much of their water resources in maintaining them. This requires a high amount of water being supplied through hoses to water the plants and the grass (Geofiber, 2008). For lawn hoses, aerators are handy in saving a
