Introduction As the remodeling can be considered a task which most people are eager to perform by themselves, homeowners may need some informational support that would be fulfilled in the form of a remodeling magazine. There are three basic reasons for launching a new remodeling magazine: partial remodeling, amount spent on remodeling projects, and tasks to be performed. Reasons for Launching Partial remodeling. As most homeowners plan simply a partial remodeling, it is necessary to give people some recommendations on how to do different task by themselves, as suggested in the Table 15.3 “Rooms Most Frequently Remodeled by DIYers” (Bovee & Thill, 2009, p. 489) which contains information on the percentage of homeowners who plan to perform or have already performed simply a partial remodeling. It is obvious that for some reasons people need only partial remodeling which can be fulfilled without applying to specialized agencies or companies. The only thing homeowners need on this stage includes some recommendations which can be found in specialized magazines. Thus, this is the first reason for launching a new magazine that would comprise useful information presented in a clear understandable manner. Amount spent on remodeling projects. The second reason for launching a new magazine is the amount that homeowners are ready to spend on remodeling projects. Though most projects comprise only partial remodeling (Table 15.3), the widest category of people can afford from $10k to $20k be spent on remodeling of their dwellings, as presented in the Table 15.4 “Average Amount Spent on Remodeling Projects” (Bovee & Thill, 2009, p. 489) which focuses on the estimated amount and percentage of surveyed homeowners. From the Table 15.4 we can conclude that most people are not eager to spend more than $20k on remodeling projects; moreover, this amount may include some unnecessary tasks which can be performed by the homeowners. Consequently, the amount spent annually on remodeling encourages the idea of launching a new magazine on remodeling. Tasks to be performed. The third and the most important reason for launching a new magazine on remodeling is the fact that most people are able to fulfill most tasks on remodeling by themselves, as introduced in the Table 15.5 “Tasks Performed by Homeowner on a Typical Remodeling Project” (Bovee & Thill, 2009, p. 489) which contains the list of tasks and percentage of surveyed homeowners who plan to perform or perform the tasks presented by themselves. It is noticeable that technical design/architecture and heating/cooling are considered being the most experience-demanding tasks because the percentage of homeowners that tend to perform these tasks is relatively small compared with painting which presupposes that one hundred percent of homeowners can cope with this task be themselves. So, people that can do at least a part of task be themselves will need some help, advise, recomm
Letter 1 Sir, I want to express my views to you on regard to the new education budget-cutting scheme. The decision, according to me, can really do harm to the students. And this is really going to be a matter of worry for both the schools and the parents who want their wards to get a good education. Sir, education is the only important and secure investment for a child’s future. It makes a person worthy of living rightly. And in today’s really competitive world the decision of budget-cutting from the field of education is nothing but a really hasty decision. There are a lot of fields in our society where the budget-reduction can be done, and these reductions will not affect society in many cases. For a better and developing community, it is not wanted that the policies on education remain confused. Sir, money can not really solve all the problems of a community, but less money in education funds means a lot of future problems will arise (Lamb 118). Which will ultimately have to be faced by the community. A school has always been and always be mixed bag of students. There will be always some students who will be interested in studies. And they suffer most through this decision. Along with the development of their intellectual properties will stop to develop as it develops in the modern educational system, and we are responsible to give them the best education we can, and here we are cutting the budget to maybe fulfilling some other things. Sir, the education system is not a place to gamble decisions. The general people must protest this decision. The best for our own self that it decision gets reversed and some more funds get allocated for education and hire professions who will really help to develop the education system and ultimately be much help to the students.

Letter 2 Sir, If the development of society is considered as a spear, then education is the spearhead of this instrument. And the spearhead is needed to be sharp. Education is the most important aspect of every growing child and the idea of cutting the budgets on education is not really a very wise decision according to me. The world is now facing some serious economic problems due to recession and other problems, but cutting the educational budget only extends these problems, not solves them. It is a paramount duty of the state to make proper arrangements for education for everyone in the state and the constitution also highlights the fact. The state while making the budget can cut on different things but must not compromise with the basic requirement of education. The cost-cutting will thoroughly affect the system of education. When the decision-makers have
Introduction How would it have felt to be isolated from your peers, brothers, and sisters everyday when you were a child? I do not know your answer but I am sure good would not be it. Inclusion involves having the support services brought to the children with disability in the ordinary classrooms, not relegating them into special classes away from the normal children. It is a practice that is gaining momentum in recent times thus begging the question, “What is making inclusion to be more popular than having special education for the disabled children?” This essay tackles this question, showing the benefits of having an inclusion system as opposed to the special schools for disabled children. Inclusion: What is it? Inclusion in education refers to the process of incorporating children with various disabilities in normal educational classes. Normally, inclusion falls into two categories, either full inclusion or partial inclusion. Partial inclusion involves having the disabled children in a regular class at sometimes and in a special class at other times. On the other hand, full inclusion is having the disabled children in the regular class always. Both forms of inclusion have benefits, which lie into two broad aspects, those for the students with disabilities and those for typical students. It is also important to note that integration is not inclusion; the former mainly involves the physical presence of the disabled child while the latter involves this child being involved in what other members of the class do. Benefits of Inclusion to students with disability One major benefit that a student with disability gains from being in an inclusive classroom is social growth. In a research, disabled children in typical classes developed better social skills and spent most of their time in the field or doing other communal activities as opposed to those in special classes who spent a lot of time in the classes (Katz & Mirenda, 2002, p. 15). The argument that they cannot integrate with others due to their disabilities does not hold much water, neither does the assumption that they risk ridicule from the normal students and so develop antisocial tendencies. The integration with typical children is especially more fruitful in cases where the children are introduced to inclusion at an early age. Inclusion at this early age should therefore be encouraged as it helps both sets of children to learn to live with one another encouraging the disabled ones to be more social. Another positive impact that inclusion has on the disabled participants is the boosting of their self-esteem. Children with special needs tend to be very sensitive especially in matters of learning and education (Reid, 2005, p.42). Activities in an inclusive class such as circle time create room for all the participants to be appreciated by their colleagues since
Introduction The importance of lactic acid in human body as well as in food, plants, and animals is integral indeed. Several research have been done around lactic acid, its causes, and development in the organism. For a long period of time, lactic acid is behind sensation, therefore it is very important to support the research on different levels and take into consideration various perspectives. In this paper, some projects are based on biotechnological evaluation and the spreading of the bacteria throughout the body. To understand how it is possible to control the chosen compound, it is necessary to identify its causes and strategies with the help of which cessation of buildup is possible. Research Statement In this project, the attention to several academic sources will be paid to identify the causes of lactic acid, prove that it may be build up in any muscle after a certain portion of exercises is made, and introduce the strategies like biotechnological interruption or temperature change for cessation of build-up. Annotated Bibliography Cairns, S, P. (2006). Lactic Acid and Exercise Performance: Culprit or Friend? Sports Medicine, 36 (4), 279-291. The author of the article is the researchers from the University of New Zealand who try to investigate whether lactic acid determines the level of fatigue within a person. Information helps sportsmen as well as scientists to identify the issues which may influence human behavior and physical conditions. The evaluation of several research conducted at the end of the 1990s and at the beginning of the 2000s shows that lactic acid is only the deviant (Cairns, 2006) that may impair exercise performance. In comparison to other works, the chosen article is based on evidence from the research and may help to evaluate the causes of lactic acid. Fischer, K., Hoffman, P., Voelkl, S. (2007). Inhibitory effect of tumor cell-derived lactic acid on human T cells. Blood, 109 (9), 3812-3819. The representatives from the department of hematology and oncology introduce their standpoints about the production of lactic acid and correlation between lactate levels in patients with cancers. Such approach differs considerably from other investigations in this paper as much attention is paid to T cells and the impact of lactic acid concentration with the ability to disturb metabolism and functions of the cells.

Explain why airlines will experience a declining market for business travel in the future. Provide an example. The business travel market has declined significantly in the past few years. This decline is expected to continue in the future. This decline in business travel will be caused by increasing fares. The continued use of modern technologies such as videoconferencing is also reducing the level of business travel (Shaw, 2011). For example, companies such as Hewlett Packard and Google Incorporation are relying on modern technologies to reduce their travel costs. The current economic downturn is also forcing many organizations to reduce their expenses. Some external shocks such as terrorism threats and economic instabilities are also affecting the industry (Graham, 2008). New global tensions will also affect the business travel industry. Airline marketing executives believe that the future of FFP’s (frequent flyer programs) will be used more to provide a source of data for airlines so they can target individuals with attractive offers. Explain this theory and what effects it will have on air travel for both individual and business travelers. Provide examples where appropriate. According to many airline marketing executives, the future of Frequent Flyer Programs (FFPs) will offer quality data to different airlines. Such airlines can use the information to target more individuals using attractive business offers. Airlines should use such programs to attract more passengers who travel frequently. This theory explains why many passengers will be traveling in the future (Graham, 2008). Business travelers are also identifying specific airlines that are offering the best FFPs. Many airlines are using such programs to attract and retain more passengers. For example, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and United Airlines partnered to form the Star Alliance. The alliance’s FFP has retained many loyal passengers who cannot use any other airline service. Explain why enhanced competitive pressures from airline deregulation airport privatization coupled with increased demands for a more sustainable and quality conscious industry standard have brought new challenges for airports. Many airports are currently facing numerous challenges because of the current rate of deregulation (Shaw, 2011). The level of competition has also doubled due to the increasing wave of airport privatization. The nature of aviation services has changed significantly. Some private airlines are providing super-quality services. Many customers are also in need of sustainable services. These competitive pressures are forcing many airports to identify new business partners (Shaw, 2011). Worldwide ACI estimates that with the current pace of construction, airport capacity could accommodate 6 billion passengers by the year 2020. Describe the challenges faced by airports to meet this forecasted demand. According to the Worldwide ACI, the current rate of construction means that the global aviation industry will accommodate over 6 billion passengers by 2020. Many airports are required to undertake new constructions to meet this demand. Such a
Introduction Technology is the main factor that can help to increase the effectiveness of various organizations and create more comfortable conditions for workers. For this reason, there is significant attention devoted to the further development of new platforms that might help to reduce the effort needed to perform a special activity and required resources. For instance, the idea of the creation of the paperless environment is one of the dominant ones in societies or countries that cultivate digital technologies and new approaches or methods. In the UAE, the Smart Dubai incentive includes all possible improvements to increase the level of comfort for people and help them to enjoy the paperless character of various services (Baldwin, 2017). Using this example, there are numerous creative strategies that can also be used to transform a particular organization. Reporting First of all, the approach to reporting should be reconsidered. At the moment, this activity is mainly associated with the creation of multiple papers describing the current state of a firm, its problems, perspectives, and their discussion. However, in terms of the paperless approach, the view on this aspect should be reconsidered. Managers responsible for reports’ completion will be able to use specific software providing data about the functioning of various departments and relevant issues (Gleeson, 2019). It also means a new way of data collection that is more effective than the previous one. Utilizing this very method, managers will be able to avoid the creation of papers and focus on incorporating available pieces of information into an online document available for all top management. It will help to create a paperless environment. Printers and Fax Machines Another creative strategy that can be used to go paperless is the prohibition of fax machines and printers to reduce the number of printed documents and ensure that new online forms will be given preference. That fact is that many organizations have big amounts of documentation to transfer, which also means that they will make multiple copies of the same report using printers (Gruenberg, 2019). It increases waste and reduces effectiveness. Instead, scanners and diverse applications for employees to scan information, store, and share it should be used. This strategy will contribute to the reduction of costs needed to support the work of the company and help to create a new, more convenient, and paperless environment. Cloud Services Finally, the use of cloud services should become another strategy regarding the outlined idea. It provides employees with an opportunity to share information more effectively, and have the same data portions in real life. It significantly increases the overall effectiveness and convenience of the majority of processes. Moreover, digital files of an organization are stored outside the office, which gives more space for workers and guarantees access from any place in the world via the Internet (Gruenberg, 2019). Finally, the usage of cloud services reduces the number of papers that should be created, exchanged, or shared. In such
Introduction Accounting information systems (AIS) contain sensitive information that comprises an important pillar of a company’s financial and organizational stability and success (Hall, 2015). The data should be kept safe and out of bound for unauthorized personnel because authorized access can have devastating outcomes. For instance, it can lead to identity theft or loss of critical data that is hard to replace (Hall, 2015). One of the effects of loss of accounting data is the crumbling of the accounting department or the entire business. Arguments have been presented as to whether companies that are victims of AIS attackers should be held liable. Some companies manipulate accounting systems for financial gain and therefore it would be important to ascertain the main reason for cyber attacks. On the other hand, it would be important to evaluate the company’s policy regarding such attacks, its response, and the security measures implemented to prevent such occurrences. Home Depot cyber attack In the year 2014, the largest home improvement chain in the world was attacked by hackers who stole about 53 million email addresses and compromised more than 56 million credit card accounts (Banjo, 2014). This data breach was not very severe because the data stole did not clients’ sensitive information such as account passwords or payment card information. The attackers used information stolen from a third party vendor to gain access to the company’s system and aces the sensitive data. The information contained a password that was used to access the company’s network. In response to the breach, the company addressed a critical vulnerability in its Microsoft’s Windows operating system that had facilitated the intrusion (Banjo, 2014). The solution to the breach was provided by Microsoft Corporation. The company mitigated the attack by repairing a security flaw while the attack was underway. The fraudsters used custom-built malware programs to access client information in different locations (Banjo, 2014). The malware program had been collecting customer’s confidential information for five months before it was detected and removed. The firm should be held liable for the losses incurred by customers because of its poor security and preventive measures as well as lack of ongoing security checks that could have identified the breach. The attackers took advantage of security flows in the firm’s operating system and the ineffectiveness of its anti-software virus that was unable to detect intrusion
Executive Summary E-services are a beneficial technology that helps organize and streamline many business and managerial processes. Their use in the public sector brings tangible benefits to both the state and the citizens. However, there might exist some issues that discourage people from using them. This paper will overview the use of e-services in Dubai and evaluate their impact on citizen satisfaction based on existing publications. Statement of the Problem The adoption of e-services in the public sector usually leads to a more convenient interaction between citizens and the state. The state can automate some processes, lightening the workload of its employees, while the citizens can perform bureaucratic tasks, look for information, and request services from the comfort of their own homes. That arrangement is beneficial to all parties, but only if the e-services are implemented flawlessly. Unfortunately, an undertaking of that scale is rarely perfect and certainly never easy. There are often issues with the e-services that turn potential users off. Customer satisfaction is a crucial factor in the implementation of e-government technology. It needs to be regularly measured, and problems need to be analyzed and promptly solved. This paper aims to evaluate the implementation of e-services in Dubai’s public sector. E-services exist to increase the quality of life in Dubai, and some factors might be detrimental to it. The possible issues could be delays in paperwork processing, lack of a physical paper trail, and lack of human communication, although more are likely to be identified. After that, the paper will attempt to create guidelines that would help create a more customer-driven solution. Purpose of the Research The purpose of this paper is to measure the success of digital solutions in Dubai’s public sector to identify the parts that work well and those that do not. The measurement of these factors will help policymakers understand what needs improvement and how to improve it. In order to do so, several questions must be answered, such as ‘what are the impacts of using e-government in Dubai?’ The analysis will be conducted according to the theoretical base, using such primary sources as citizens’ testimonies, publications, and reports. Objectives of the Research The first objective of the paper is to determine the main goals of using E-services in the public sector of Dubai, the extent of the e-services’ implementation, the impact that the usage of e-services has had on Dubai community, and the role of adopting e-services in enhancing the community’s satisfaction. This objective is primarily dictated by the research questions and serves the purpose of analyzing the use of e-services in Dubai and the impact that they make on its citizens. The second objective is to find problems with the current system and offer solutions based on existing literature. Scope of the Research The paper analyzes the e-government of Dubai and its effects on the population thr
