Introduction Introduction and Justification of the Study The news, social media sites and many people of late speak about online companies investing a lot of cash in the market. Indian Online Purchase is growing at a scorching speed over the last decade and expected to become the largest online consumer market by 2025. India’s population is about 1.2 billion, which could be a reason why online companies are struggling to make an appearance in the country. The use of the internet and mobile phones are widely spreading within the state. Media buyers, ad networks, and publishers interested in investing in the Indian market should consider the limitations and significance before flooding the market; however, it is very evident that attention ought to be paid to four main reasons. These reasons are mobile dominance, the transformation of online payments, demands from millennials and the extensive growth of the e-commerce community. Snapdeal, Flipkart, and Amazon are among the big online companies spending cash into India’s e-commerce market (Kumar & Gupta 2017). The significance of The Study There are three major categories of people that may benefit from this research. The first group is online investors who wish to invest in Indian e-commerce, they may learn the advantages and disadvantages of indulging in the market, and they may weigh the options before making the decision. The second group is the online companies in competition, Amazon, for instance, and they may gain insight on the reasons why other companies investing in Indian e-commerce are far much ahead of them, and in turn, they will compete favorably. Finally, the educators can use this study for learning purposes and may consider incorporating it in the syllabus since the rise of Indian e-commerce due to technological growth and India’s vast population is doubtlessly a significant example of business history. Study Objectives  1. To determine India’s growth rate in E-commerce are reasons why other businesses should focus on India regarding online buying.  2. To identify the frequently used online company in India and deduce the best ways they can improve their service delivery to increase the number of online buyers The scope of the Study This Research was restricted to the discernment of young professionals who have decent income and can make purchases. For the study, describing and identifying a young professional depends
Purpose of the study The study illustrates the utility of process evaluation methods for improving a new violence prevention program, Youth Empowerment Solutions for Peaceful Communities (YES) (Peace in the Hood, 2010). The program helps young people to plan their community projects. Research questions This study aims to deliver relevant illustrations that provide answers to the following questions:  1. how does a systematic process evaluation study improve program activities?  2. How does a process evaluation study guide program enhance youth empowerment? What can the YES program draw from Empowerment and ecological theories on:   * The multiple levels of the social context and organizations within which youth develop,   * The variety of social and contextual factors that influence community change efforts;   * The role that the physical environment plays in preventing or facilitating community violence? Population/sample Participants included youths and adults. In the first year, 66 youth (29seventh graders and 37 eighth graders) were recruited. In the second year, 14 new seventh graders and 49 new eighth-graders were recruited. Another 14 eighth graders remained in the program from year one. In both years, the students’ ages ranged from 12 to 15, and all reported being African American. In the first year, nine neighborhood advocates were recruited by the program staff at community meetings. In year two, three from year one were retained and seven new advocates were added. All advocates were African American. In both years, the youngest advocate was in her thirties and the oldest were in their seventies. After the first year, six out of ten neighborhood advocates participated in interviews. After the second year, nine of the eleven advocates completed interviews. Methodology of study The youths identified conditions in their community that contributed to youth violence and communicated their findings to peers and adults. The program provided adult supervision while promoting social norms, being supportive of nonviolence, and community involvement. Finally, it initiated community-level change by improving the physical environment of neighborhoods. The intervention included three components: youth empowerment, adult capacity building, and community development. Youth empowerment connected students with supportive adult staff and neighborhood advocates. Adult capacity building prepared neighborhood advocates to work with and engage youth in community change activities. Community development engaged participants in planning and implementing community change projects. Methods of evaluation process included: Youth Evaluation Questionnaire, Youth Focus Groups, and Interviews with Adult Neighborhood Advocates. Data analysis Various strategies used to analyze data included: Tabulation of frequencies and means for the youth questionnaire data, completion of a thematic analysis of written responses to the open-ended questions, and transcribing and coding
Introduction Telecommunications is one of the most rapidly developing industries in the world. On the one hand it is explained by the fact that innovative technologies are highly demanded, on the other hand, outsiders of the market may be quickly replaced by potential new entrants. Telecommunications in Saudi Arabia is the potential and promising sphere for investments, and, it is forecasted that it will have been developing extensively for the year 2011. The aim of this paper is to analyze the investment portfolio of three telecommunication companies that are represented on Saudi Arabia share market, and provide economic, industrial and company analysis for the detailed assessment of the investment strategy. The companies, selected for the analysis are Mobile Telecommunications Company Saudi Arabia, Saudi Telecom, and Etihad Etisalat Co. Economic Analysis Economic forecast of Saudi Arabia for 2011 is quite favorable. In spite of the fact that economy is mainly dependent on the oil exporting, other spheres are regarded as the alternative source of economic prosperity. It should be emphasized that the forecasts for the year 2011 are based on the fact that Saudi stock market reached its highest point in January 2011 (Zeigler, 2011). Hence, the analysts are rather optimistic as for the economic situation. Additionally, Saudi Arabia managed to escape the destabilizing financial disorder that affected numerous States, so, the economic system will be subjected to essential regional and domestic challenges, nevertheless, strong economic performance is expected. As a rule, any economic system can not be assured in 100% success, as the world financial system is mainly unpredictable, though, as Trebing (535) emphasizes: A reflective Arab News editorial this week noted, “While it has been a good year for the Kingdom and the prospects remain excellent for the year ahead, the same cannot be said for the wider region.” It said many of Saudi Arabia’s neighbors face major challenges. Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq are challenged by political turmoil and the situation is far worse in Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s southern neighbor. In the light of this statement, it should be noted that the actual importance of 2011 development is closely linked with the values of economic development that is an integral part of the global processes. Hence, it is stated that Iran’s nuclear program may be a destabilizing factor for the Arab economy, and possible military strikes in Gulf will be rather challenging. However, the entire economic development will be quite effective and successful. Industry Analysis Telecommunications is one of the most stable spheres in Saudi economic system. It is stated that the actual importance of telecommunications is explained by the fact that this sphere is highly demanded by the whole world, however, it should be support
The Upstream Petroleum Exploration Project This project focuses on the CovOil multinational Oil and Gas Company. The company is in need to recover from the past financial losses. The disaster claimed the lives of 8 personnel with other damages being incurred by the company’s extensive offshore platforms. As a result, the company had to cover for the disaster damages and still be able to carry out normal business operations. Some of the measures the company undertook after the damage involved the acquiring of additional oil reserves (Kerzner 2013). Acceptance criteria for the project There is need to have Seismic survey for reserve identification, 3 deviated well and vertical poles that can act as petroleum reservoir (Hillson 2003). Block stations that incorporate the procurement, delivery and installation fields. 3 Storage terminals and access roads. Other project requirements include field camps and meeting with the stakeholders. Project milestones The license of the president’s approval has mandated project execution without any delay, current favourable oil price and the organization CEO; Mark Jason has showed a positive response to the project materialization. To avoid any social dispute that may arise in the future, specifically once the project has been practically and fully initiated (Meredith & Mantel 2006). The vertical wells are important for POD calculation, which is the point of deviation. The storage terminal serves as crude oil storage facilities. The access roads to allow for easy site accessibility and products transportation. Projects Assumptions and constraints The disaster’s impact that occurred has greatly affected the financial status and limits the projects investment capabilities on the company’s side. The government is likely to be involved in additional cost sharing to actualize the project. Large lucrative projects that entail financial gain require the full participation and inclusion of the involved counties (Aven & Vinnem 2005). The net cost of the project has affected both time and material price fluctuations. The cost calculations of majority of the materials have been calculated for one year duration and are approximately 90 million dollars. Project Breakdown structure (Aven & Vinnem 2005).

Firstly, Gilgamesh was the king of Uruk, the city of Mesopotamia, known for its beautiful walls around it. Moreover, he is described as a half-God, a crucial characteristic for the epic hero at that time. By stating that “Two-thirds they made him god and one-third man” (2), the author even enforced Gilgamesh’s heroic status (2014). However, as with every epic character, Gilgamesh’s heroicness should be proved through specific examples of situations where he demonstrated the special ability distinct from ordinary characters. For instance, when describing Gilgamesh’s journey to the mountain Mashu, the author illustrated his persistence and tenacity through the scorpion’s attitude to the main character. More specifically, he stated that (23) “No man born of woman has done what you have asked, no mortal man has gone into the mountain; the length of it is twelve leagues of darkness; in it, there is no light, but the heart is oppressed with darkness” (Sandars et al., 2014). On the contrary, the main hero proved his braveness in front of the real-life danger by answering that (23) “Although I should go in sorrow and pain, with sighing and with weeping. Still, I must go” (Sandars et al., 2014). As a result, this concrete example illustrates that even though Gilgamesh is one-third a man, his major part of the soul was created by God’s power so that no human danger could destabilize his intentions to execute his initial plan. In addition, the dangerous situation which requires a high amount of bravery for the main character usually testifies to the individual’s heroic attributes. However, to analyze the situation holistically, it is crucial to understand the main reason for climbing the dangerous mountain Mashu. This requires some understanding of the culture of that time, where the king’s father played a major role in the main hero’s establishment. Moreover, the readers should understand that the general concept of a hero at that time was developed through the notion that the hero should be “half-God.” As a result, the heroes were facing real danger for their lives so that ordinary people could not achieve the final goal, and Gods would find these obstacles too easy to overcome. Turning to Gilgamesh’s outward metamorphosis, he was selfish and arrogant at the beginning of the epic, convinced of his exceptionality and ultimacy of judgment. He was the authoritarian king of Uruk, living an extensive life by spending much time with women. On the contrary, when his father Lugalbanda died, the main hero realized that he was not immortal, that his time of being a king of Uruk was not infinite. Consequently, he became a genuine epic hero since he took the risk on himself and started taking activ
The minority groups in the United States of America have been taking part in elections since the 1960s. They have even had a number of presidential candidates, such as Jesse Jackson. However, questions still remain whether or not their participation in the electoral process impacts on the election outcomes. The US is mainly a land of immigrants. In spite of this, it is predominantly a Whiteman’s territory (Traister, 2016). During elections, the whites shape the political space. After 2008 presidential elections, the first non-white president was elected. The election of Barack Obama marked a milestone in the political reality of minorities in the US. The political spectrum in the country changed (Wong, 2015). The campaigns shifted to the growing importance of racial and ethnic minority votes. 1 Minority communities in the United States include African Americans, Indians, Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans, and a horde of other immigrants. During the 2012 election, the voices of the minority groups were heard clearly in the American political landscape. The impacts of these groups on presidential elections were also made apparent. In many instances, politicians use the plight of minorities to gain votes. The issues of immigration, for example, were at the helm of the 2016 campaigns (Traister, 2016). Latinos, as a minority community, has become a group of interest to the average American politician. The rise in their numbers and the voting patterns are slowly changing their political landscape. 2 In this paper, the author will focus on Latinos as a minority group in the US presidential elections. The paper will focus on the contributions made by this community on presidential elections. The will also address the motivations behind the choices made by Latinos in the election process. Finally, the paper will highlight such factors as gender and education and their link to national presidential elections in the US. Minority Groups in the United States and their Voting Patterns: A Case Study of Latino Voters Some of the well-known minority communities in the United States are African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. Due to increased immigration, a lot of other communities are also present in the country. During the electoral process, the minority groups are historically known to vote in a particular design. The main reason for this could be the similarities between the socio-economic factors bringing these individuals together. According to Kim (2014), these communities vote under three critical fundamental issues. The issues include the prevailing socioeconomic status, political participation factors, and cultural considerations. During elections in the United States, the identity of the minority groups is highly politicized. To this end, ethnic identity is linked to political participation. For instance, the 2011
Conducting Project Plan from the Perspective of a Project manager Project management is the process of planning and organizing resources available to managers in order to foresee a triumphant completion of particular projects (Business dictionary, 2011). A project is an endeavor taking a short period of time with a definite beginning and ending. It is usually conducted in order to accomplish specific goals aimed at improving the performance of a company. A project manager is involved in coordinating a project plan from the start till the end. Normally, there are resources to be mobilized and overseeing the whole project. The implication of conducting a project plan from the perspective of a project manager is that everything has to be coordinated and resources mobilized to ensure that the project does not fail. A manager is mandated to fully use all mechanisms at his disposal hence the importance of conducting the project plan from the perspective of a project manager. Identified Weaknesses of the Project Plan In carrying out a project plan, weaknesses are inevitable and unless the parties involved are determined to see a successful completion of the project, failure might be imminent. One of the biggest challenges of the project that has been identified is the difficulty of achieving all the goals that the project intends to achieve without deviating from the constraints of the project that have been preconceived. Another challenge that has presented itself during the project plan is optimizing the distribution of the inputs that are crucial in meeting the defined goals of the project plan. However, a project manager can solve these problems by looking at past project plans that he completed or were completed by other managers within the same company. By doing so, a manager is in a position of gathering a wealth of information that will be useful during the processes of project planning Former projects portray a history of how an organization has been undertaking its project plans. A manager can look at the projects that have been approved and the successes as well as analyzing projects that were not approved and reasons behind their declined of approval. For instance, reviewing past project plans may provide the reasons that led to their disapproval. It also identifies plans that could be successful but the managers failed to come up with appropriate project plans . Identified Strengths There are a number of strengths of the project plan that have been identified so far. It is only the strengths of a project plan that will allow it to succeed and produce the desired results. The first strength of the project plan that has been identified so far is the cooperation of those who are involved in the project plan development. Cooperation and support from other people involved puts the manager in a position where he can oversee project plan development effectively. The second strength of the project plan that has been identified is the willingness of the entire company administration to support the project plan development. Unless there is full support from the company managerial departments to make th
In my essay I am going to compare and contrast two poems: “Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims and “The Forms of Love” by George Oppen. The feeling of astonishment is captivated in the poem of George Oppen “The Forms of Love”, which represents an author’s chance meeting of love. The poem starts with the description of how the two parked near the lake, the grass was white, and the moon was rising. Then the speaker remembers how they were getting out of the car. The speaker and the poet are same person. The speaker does not speak to anyone as he just recollects some events related to his being in live with a girl who is now his wife. The poem itself is spoken in a soft melodious soothing calm low tone which seems to be similar with the tone which helps to tell fairy tales to children. Such a tone brings some nebulosity and indistinctness to the poem as though the speaker is not sure wether the events he describes are real or is a fable illusion. The action takes place in nature’s lap, in the fields beside a lake “when the moon rose”. The two parked in fields and saw a lake; they made their minds to walk “To where it would have wet our feet”. These two people were not sure about what they saw, “Whether it could be lake or fog”, was it a clear image or a shadowy illusion. I think the speaker does not try to convince a reader of anything, because the tone is not persuasive but soothing, the author feels compelled to speak in order to share his recollections with readers, he possesses vivid recollections of his first endeavor with his wife, so he decides to speak about it. I can see no conflicts or tension in this poem, it is calm and soft. There are some words in the poem that help the reader to analyze this piece of literature. The word “ancient” is used to describe a car, does it mean that the car is extremely old to call it just “old”, or maybe it means that the car is old-fashioned. The next unusual u
