Introduction America been a developed country takes its action of election in a simpler way than other third world countries. This is because there way of election is done in a different way from that of other countries. Main body For the first time in history has America allowed non-American to vote and therefore due to this then the African Americans have been encouraged to participate in future times. This fact of obama asking for votes for the president has drawn many different views in that in the home country people have different views if this man has to succeed. They claim that through this rule in the country then people in the home country will get connections to that country as been that he is not a white but a black then his ruling will give way to the blacks as they will have to get their rights just like the whites. This is because the African Americans in America have been treated differently from the whites in that in colleges the blacks are offered an education that is different from that of the whites and also in the work place the blacks are not given the best positions eve if one has got high education. This is because there has been a gap between the Africans and the whites from the beginning where by the Africans are seem to do nothing on their own and therefore these people even if one has got high education the job that one has to perform will be of less respectable as compared in the home country. Through the rule of obama Africans will do what the whites have to do as ling as one is legally in the country and the permits will not be a problem as it is now. Africans have not been given their clear work of how they should go about there stay in that country for example their children a given education that is of less importance this is because their teachers may be of low education and they are given to teach these children therefore it means that the children will come out to be just mere people with education that can not help them to attain their way of living. The Africans are also faced with abuses like been raped and done all the things that will affect them physically and mentally like for example their children in schools may be raped which leads to that child having a negative attitude towards education and also they have no where to report to get assistance because of the fact that there is no law governing them as Africans. The Africans are also not allowed to have allowances just like the whites this is due to the fact that there is a gap that has existed before and still exists where by the blacks are seen to be useless and Cannot get the same treatment that is given to the whites. The blacks have been used as the experiments in that if something has to be done in the country they have to take an Africa the thing is that Africans have not been allowed to do anything that is done by the whites. The Africans have been affected by the rap music a
Marketers are interested in attracting more consumers and stimulating the target audience’s positive reactions toward the definite brand. That is why marketers use all the methods to form the customers’ purchasing behaviour. The usage of celebrities in product marketing is discussed as one of the most effective ways to contribute to increasing the consumers’ interest in the brand. From this point, it is significant to analyse the peculiarities of using sporting celebrities as endorsers in advertisements and the effects of these endorsements on the customer’s purchasing intentions and on the brand’s progress. The currency of the question and the necessity of the discussion depending on the range of endorsements on the screens and in magazines and on the popularity of this type of advertisements with the public. To answer the question about the impact of using a sporting celebrity in product marketing on the corporate brand, it is necessary to focus on examining the researchers’ investigations in the field. The researches on celebrity endorsements and sport celebrity advertisements were chosen for examining the aspects of the question. The usage of celebrities in product marketing can be discussed as effective for stimulating the brand performance and image because celebrity endorsers attract the customers’ attention to the advertisement and help to distinguish it among the others, increasing the communicative ability. However, the result of using an endorser can be opposite when this celebrity endorses many different products (Erdogan, Baker, & Tagg, 2001). The positive results of using sporting celebrities as endorsers for the definite product, service and corporate brand are based on the effective choice of a celebrity for promoting the product which is realised according to certain criteria. The Usage of Sport Celebrities in Product Marketing: The Problematic Questions of the Century’s Beginning The first researches in the field of customers’ attitude to brands in its connection with celebrity endorsers were focused on the most general questions in order to investigate the effectiveness of using celebrities, including sport celebrities, in promoting definite products and brands. The most important issues were associated with the problem of choosing a celebrity who could contribute to product marketing and with the question of determining the criteria according to which it could be possible to choose the endorser effectively. Till and Busler compared the importance of such criteria as the celebrity’s attractiveness and expertise. The researchers concluded that the factor of attractiveness was not as significant as the factor of expertise. Moreover, the authors stated that it was rather appropriate to use athlet
This paper provides a comparison of an extract from One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and an article Compensating the Wrongly Convicted that is presented at the website of the Innocence Project. The two texts have similar themes – the issues of wrongful conviction and attitudes towards prisoners; however, their purpose, audience, and style are very different since the former extract is fine literature whereas the latter text is an informative presentation of a problem. Audience/Purpose One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is majorly a piece of fictional literature written by the author who had a personal experience of being a prisoner in a Soviet labor camp. The book was intended as an instrument used to unmask the horrors of the Soviet regime and inform the readers about the unfair treatment of people based on minor wrongdoings. The book targets the people of all generations and serves as a reminder of the cruelty that should not be repeated. Compensating the Wrongly Convicted is intended to introduce the issue of wrongful convictions that persists in the United States today answering some of the basic questions concerning the problem and informs about the potential solutions and the need for them. Content/Theme The extract from One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich describes a series of ordinary scenes from the everyday life of zeks, depicts their living conditions and environments they work in, and presents the problems that concern them the most. The themes explored in it refer to the inconveniences and limitations the convicts face in everyday life such as hunger, fear, cold, and a risk to never come be released from the camp. Compensating the Wrongly Convicted covers the reasons why the wrongful convictions should be reviewed and reevaluated, the flaws of the existing legislation that cause the wrongful convictions, and how they can be addressed. To support the point, the article contains an example – the story of an actual person who had suffered a wrongful conviction. Tone/Mood In the extract, the tone switches from negative (when describing depressed thoughts of zeks and their dire day to day lives): “the zeks’ canteen was no more than a shanty made of boards nailed together around a stove, with some rusty metal strips over the cracks” (Solzhenitsyn 29), to positive (when discussing Shukhov’s term coming to its end and his excitement about it): “Yes, your term is coming to an end; the spool is unwinding…. Good, God! To step out to freedom, just walk out on your own two feet” (Solzhenitsyn 28). In contrast, the tone of the article is majorly neutral and formal; a key typically used for the presentation of facts and informative leaflets: “President George W. Bush endorsed Congress’s recommended amount of up to $50,000 per year, with up to an additional $50,000 for each year spent on death row. Adjusted for inflation, this amount is $63,000” (“Compensating the Wrongly Convicted” par. 6) Stylistic Devices The language of the article is rather dry throughout the entire text. It mainly is used to deliver information c
Capital Shortage The first selected cost-cutting option is to reduce the “Length of Stay” while the second is to reduce “agency staff”. Reason for the Selection After analyzing the cash flow statement of the facility, it is financially prudent to cut some costs that do not affect the delivery of health service directly (Anne & Gruen, 2005). In terms of decision making, the process involves judgment of available alternatives and their effects to an organization’s cash flow (Brigham & Houston, 2011). With this analytical perspective, the most optimum cost-cutting option is to reduce the period of time that inpatients spend at the hospital. This will be done by discharging the healed patients to another facility or home care service. This way, the cost of the extra days spent by a patient will be avoided. The next most optimum option is to reduce the number of agency staff that are contracted to assist health care workers at the centre especially the nursing professionals. This can be done by allowing human resource team of the Heart Centre to directly hire health care staff and non-specialized health care attendants. This way, the center will be relieved off the costs paid to agents to fill vacancies without compromising the quality of staff contracted. Selected loan option The selected loan option is option 2. Reason for the Selection This is because the loan option offers the most optimum credit terms that will be favorable to the cash flow statement. According to Anne & Gruen (2005), the best loan facility is the one that not only solves the current financial needs but also places an organization at a better position to re-pay the debt. This means that the loan option will make an organization’s more favorable after the loan period than the period before the loan facility. The loan’s repayment period is twelve months with a prepayment limitation of six months. The interest rate of option two is lower than that of option one which makes it favorable in reducing the amount of monthly payment. This way, the cost of capital is reduced as compared to option one. Outcome of the decision The implication of the above decision model is a favorably planned financial outlook for the health centre. First, the target of the health centre to have a cost saving of over $ 900,000 is met. Secondly, the decision of cutting costs leads to zero expected shortfall in the entire cash flow period. In addition, the loan facility leads to a debt responsibility to the health care centre for twelve months with a prepayment limitation of six months. Finally, the main outcome is a surplus on the cash flow statement to the Heart Center. This is spread from a deficit in the first quarter to favorable surpluses in the second, third and fourth quarters of the year. Funding Options for Equipment Acquisition Selected cost-effective equi
Executive Summary Project implementation is significant when the objectives have to be realised. Even though a project initiation is involving and it takes a lot of time, the related activities also consume several resources. This Project Initiation Document (PID) focuses on developing a business productivity project. This is done for Upright Seating Company Pty Ltd. The project aims to make the implementing organisation improve the overall productivity, thus it is able to realise its goals of increasing efficiency and effectiveness. The approaches that the project embraced from start till the end was qualitative and quantitative. It employed interviews, questionnaires and surveys in carrying out the research and its major phases included conception, definition, planning, execution/launching, performance, monitoring, control, and close/finalization. The project used material resources such as money, space, technology and human resources. The human resources include the facilitators, coordinators, developers, implementers, researchers and analysts to carry out the project’s implementation right from its start till the end. The project was intended to last for 22 weeks due to overlapping of some activities. When budgeting, the project’s material and human resources cost more money. For example, a total of $27,725 was needed to start the project. This budget accounted for the cost of space, computers, furniture, and fittings. In addition, it catered for the salaries for the human resources, depending on the qualification of the officials such as the facilitators, coordinators, developers, implementers, researchers and analysts. In essence, proper remuneration of the staff and availability of material and financial resources were necessary for the successful implementation of the project. Introduction Victoria University Information Systems Consulting provides different services to its clients in the field of business and information. The business productivity project was done for Upright Seating Company Pty Ltd, but first presented to the consulting company for approval before sending it to the prospective client for review. It focused on a business development initiative that established the stages, which a prospective business person or entity should consider when developing a better strategy for the success of the company. In addition, it was developed to provide the cli
Description The art work of John Deare, Judgment of Jupiter, is a sculpture in the form of a marble relief. The relief is made on a plate-sized 148 x 297,8 x 25,4 cm (Ramsey, p.2). The prominent English sculptor created the relief while living in Rome, in the time of his most prolific work in 1786-1787. The form of the art work varies from bas-relief for the background to high-relief for major objects (characters of the scene). Material Presence The figures in the relief are well-composed, with six main characters being placed at the front line and the rest 17 figures being allocated further from the viewer. The central point of the composition coincides with the center of the rectangular plate, where the figure of Mars is situated. This is obvious because of the figures being turned to the center of the rectangle and their looks being pointed at this very direction. In addition, the spear of a warrior on the right is also pointed to the center of the rectangle. The main figures are three-dimensional and very realistic, while the figures and objects that are further from the viewer are less volumetric, with the furthest space being flat. With such a technique, the sculptor achieved an impressive realistic effect and a well-designed composition. An important detail which also contributes to the sense of spatial location is that the figures are standing on the clouds. The relief is also rather expressive. The art work presents a scene from the Illiad, where the gods are discussing the case of Jupiter. The artist managed to depict figures of various physical types (Myron, 285), which helped him to show different characters. Also, the famous scene which preceded the Trojan War has a strong emotional emphasis. Thus, some characters are anticipating, some are furious, and others are showing fear. All these emotions make the relief rather expressive; moreover, they help the sculptor to convey the message to the viewer. The concept of the art work, which is the tension of the gods’ council, a decisive moment of Greek history, is shown through the composition and accurate work on postures and facial features of the figures. As a result, the art work makes an impression of a well-designed, coherent and emotional scene. Physical Analysis The material used for the sculpture, marble, has its main properties and qualities preserved in Deare’s work. The smooth surface of the relief suggests that the artist spent a lot of time polishing the figures and shaping the marble to fit perfection. Also, the small details of the relief point to the fact that special instruments were used for work on details. Influences As the artist spent a major part of his life in Italy (The Henry Moore Foundation, p.1), the discussed art work is influenced by the culture of this country. In the mid 18th century, the Rococo style was on the peak of its development and Barocco art was still popular, and the features of both styles can be traced in the relief. Interpretation The artwork analyzed in this paper shows a great sense of space and shape presented by the author. Its size is rather impressive; the human figures depicted a
Narrative Project Description Company X has been very successful in the market because of its high-quality products. A recent analysis revealed that the current production plant cannot meet the market needs. The plant was developed ten years ago, and the management has realized that it is necessary to expand it in order to meet the production needs. This project is focused on adding a new work area to the existing manufacturing plant to increase its production capacity. This is a new project that is yet to receive approval from the top management unit. According to Snyder (2009), it is always essential to come up with a convincing explanation to the management as to why it is necessary to conduct a particular project because of the financial consequences involved. In this project, the government will need to finance the project, and this may be a costly process. The project will include expanding the work area to reduce the current congestion at the production plant. Some new machines will also be needed in order to expand their production capacity. Problem and Result Statement The sales volume of Company X’s products has been on the rise in the recent past. The marketing unit and the production department have worked very closely in order to meet the needs of the customers in the market. Their effort has yielded fruits, and the company is now experiencing a shortage of products in the market. There are cases where some consumers would find empty shelves in the company’s stores because of the low capacity of the existing production plant. This may erode the positive image that the management has struggled to create. It may make some of the loyal customers to consider other products that are regularly available in the market. It is because of this alarming situation that the marketing team and the production department thought it appropriate to create a new work area in the production plant to expand the production capacity of the firm. If implemented, this project will help solve the current shortage of this firm’s products in the market. Mission Justification According to Quantum and Daley (2011), customers form an essential part of any business entity. A business unit has a responsibility to ensure that its products are available to the customers whenever they need it and at convenient locations. Building a base of loyal customers is a very complex marketing process. It can be miserable to lose such loyal customers because of the inability to produce the needed products in the right quantity. The mission of this project is to address the existing problem of product shortage in some of the outlets of this firm. By implementing this new project, the production capacity will be improved. The quality of the products will also be enhanced when the new machines are installed. The project will also boost the morale of the employees because the congestion at the workplace will be eliminated. Project Scope Statement Defining the scope of a new project is essent
Outline “Salem’s great fire” is the fire tragedy that occurred in 1914, destroying a large portion of the beautiful city of Salem and caused much damage. Salem is a city that is located in Massachusetts and before 25 th June, 1914, business was as normal until a very fierce fire broke out in a leather factory that was located in that city. The fire left thousands of Salem’s inhabitants’ helpless as some lost their property while others lost their lives. Buildings were also brought down as well as other infrastructure that was in the city. Various organizations and individuals from neighboring cities came to Salem’s rescue and the city started to function again after so many struggles to rebuild it. Introduction “Salem fire” is a historic fire that occurred in a city known as Salem which burnt down a very big portion of the city. This fire caused much damage to the city which ranged from loss of lives of its inhabitants to property and buildings. Salem’s fire starting point was a storehouse in a leather factory where celluloid and chemicals that were highly flammable were stored. It was figured out that, the fire was caused by heat from the sun which was too much that, it caused chemicals in the storehouse to explode setting the whole factory ablaze. The fire from the factory spread to other parts of the city; eventually setting a very big portion of the city on fire. However, experts have argued that, the fire could have been stopped if only the factory had the modern equipment that is used to suppress fire such as sprinklers, which the leather factory had not put in place. (Alice, 2008) Coverage of Damage Caused By the Fire Salem city covers a five thousand, one hundred acre piece of land. This city had about five thousand, eight hundred and twenty six buildings, which together with the land had a value of about thirty seven million, two hundred and fifty thousands dollars. The number of people that inhabited the city was forty eight thousand. The great fire that burnt the city of Salem caused a lot of damage, where two hundred and fifty three acres of the portion occupied by the city were burnt down. The number of buildings that were destroyed by this great fire was one thousand, three hundred and seventy six. The damage caused loss that had a value of approximately fifteen million dollars. This amount was largely compensated for, where about eleven million seven hundred and forty four thousands was settled by the insurance. About twenty thousands of the population inhabiting the city had their homes burnt down by the fire, whereas, tens of thousands of people were left jobless. This was a substantial loss for Salem since the condition of the damage required new buildings, which were to be constructed under new planning regulations of the city. (Alice, 2008) The fire spread from the streets of Boston, to Pine streets; bo
