The Goal of the report is to provide help to the top management is to expand the business and services being offered by The Newcastle Australian Theatre. In order to successfully achieve the growth goal, this report intends to help her expand the business by analyzing the market. With the recent boom in the entertainment industry, new market segments are opening up providing The Newcastle Australian Theatre with a number of opportunities to expand their business. In this regard, an untouched segment of this business market is the rural folks. This report is for the launch of new shows that attract rural folks. The Newcastle Australian Theatre will play safe; the theatre is on a small scale, thus being a small income earner. The Newcastle Australian Theatre will be promoted through phased-out advertisements on TV, which is the most-watched medium for the people. Phasing out the communication process will make the message more cost-effective. Moreover, it will help in eliminating any direct and indirect competition by many theatres which have started having similar services. The Newcastle Australian Theatre is an entertainment theatre with a bar and restaurant, combining an assorted atmosphere with excellent and interesting gastro-molecular food. The mission of The Newcastle Australian Theatre is not only great entertainment but also superior and efficient-consumer satisfaction is our paramount objective. The Newcastle Australian Theatre will be the lounge of choice for all couples, singles, crowd, male or female, young and old of the rural folks. Introduction The Newcastle Australian Theatre is confronted with an opportunity to change its services. The impetus for change may come from two sources (Bomhoff 1994). Firstly, it may come from within the organization itself. These internal changes may take the form of new organizational structures and processes, formulated and implemented as a means of achieving better outcomes for the business such as increased profitability or the better delivery of services. These changes are usually planned, organized, led and controlled by the owners, management and possibly the employees of the business or organization, and are therefore predictable (Gorton and Metrick 2009). The second source of change comes from external conditions where these are outside the direct management control of the business or organization. What is significant is that these types of changes may be either totally unforeseen or, if they are anticipated, it is their rate and duration that causes concern to a business or organization. Consequently, it presents owners and managers with a dilemma in terms of when the change
Effect of Transactions Students in Prague flock to see the latest movie from the Hollywood The U.S. net exports include films produced by the movie industry, meaning that the number of profits from exports will increase as a result of this transaction (United States (USA) exports, imports, and trade partners). Films created and produced by Hollywood annually contribute to American wealth. Similarly, the nation’s net exports will likely improve by a small margin as a result of this action. Mrs. Jones in Philadelphia buys a new Volvo The decision of Mr. Jones to purchase a Volvo will inadequately affect the country’s imports and exports, primarily because a single person’s decision is too insignificant to affect an entire country. However, from a discussion perspective, this action can increase the U.S. spending on imports, as the car bought by Mr. Jones is foreign. In an alternative scenario, Jones’s money could have supported a local manufacturer instead. The student bookstore at Oxford University in England sells a copy of a U.S. printed/authored textbook. The purchase of a US-published and authored book will contribute to the country’s export revenues and net exports, as it is a product made and sold from the United States to another nation and its people. The book sold at the student bookstore was printed inside of the U.S., meaning that it had to be shipped and sold to the bookstore as educational material. Canadian citizen shops at a store in northern Vermont to avoid Canadian sales taxes The decision of a Canadian man to shop in a U.S. store does not affect either imports or exports, as the man is shopping in the U.S. territory itself. An American art professor spends the summer touring museums in Europe The decision of an art professor to tour European museums does not affect U.S. imports or exports in any way. The profits of the affected countries go to their cultural exports profits, and the professor spends his own income. Reference United States (USA) exports, imports, and trade partners . OEC. (n.d.).

Abstract Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an analytical method of separating compounds based on their solubilities in the mobile and stationary phases. This experiment aimed at using TLC to separate leaf pigments. Leaf extracts were dissolved in propanone and spotted on a TLC plate with a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl ethanoate as the mobile phase. Three pigments were separated. It was concluded that TLC was an effective method of separation. Literature Review Chromatography is a distinguished method of separation used by analysts to separate compounds. It consists of a mobile and stationary phases. The mobile phase dissolves the analyte and carries it along with the stationary phase, which holds the compounds as they separate. Separation occurs due to the differences in the rates of movement of the constituents. In thin layer chromatography (TLC), a fine layer of silica gel or alumina coated with a plastic or glass is used as the stationary phase (Kumar, Sarangi, & Jyotirmayee 2013). A compound is identified by its Rf value, which is a ratio of the distance moved by the pigment to the distance travelled by the solvent. Rf = distance travelled by compound/ distance travelled by the solvent Plant leaves are known to contain several pigments, including chlorophylls, carotenes, and xanthophyll (Gross 2012). These pigments absorb light at different wavelengths. Table1. Theoretical Rf values of the major pigments found in plant leaves.

It was hypothesized that leaves from the same plant contained different pigments and that TLC was an efficient method of isolating and identifying plant pigments. Materials and Methods A few leaves were torn and placed into a pestle and mortar alongside a pinch of sand and ground using a pestle. A small amount of propanone was added to the paste and ground until a deep coloured liquid extract was obtained. A faint pencil line was drawn across a TLC silica gel sheet about 15mm from the e
Abstract This paper takes a critical look at market efficiency as well as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH). The three forms of market efficiency are defined and illustrated while a correlation of the three forms of market efficiency proportionate to analysis is also identified and discussed. Effective market hypothesis is further discussed and illustrated and academic evidence regarding the different stands and viewpoints on market efficiency is examined. In addition, different financial analyst’s explanation in relation to the role and impact of an investor in the financial market is examined and discussed. The prices of shares are also discussed together with the elements in the market that greatly influence the prices of shares and securities in general. The stability of various stock indices is also looked at and relevant factors that contribute to the alteration of the indices either through speculation or economics are discussed from different analytical perspectives. Finally, examples of market inconsistencies are discussed in order to identify instances where the share prices of particular firms have deviated greatly from the standard equilibrium. The paper goes ahead and further identifies and discusses the prevailing circumstances that led to the abnormal deviation of share prices and the subsequent corrective measures taken. Introduction In order to be in a position to discuss the three forms of market efficiency, it is very important to comprehend the fundamental nature of market efficiency which is usually a major component of capital market efficiency. By definition, market efficiency is the level at which the present value of a given asset correctly replicates the existing information of the asset in the market place (Taleb, 2008). Market efficiency necessitates a well organized capital market given that it is in such a market that new information on an asset is rapidly and accurately reflected in share prices and the current price is an objective estimate of its accurate economic value based on the revealed data. Efficient Market Hypothesis on the other hand requires that all relevant information is in total and instantaneously mirrored in an asset’s market price, therefore presupposing that an investor will acquire an equilibrium rate of return (Shiller, 2003). An investor should therefore anticipate generating a standard return through the application of both technical analysis and fundamental analysis. The three forms of market efficiency Three forms of efficiency have been identified and grouped according to the nature of information which is replicated in prices. Weak-form efficiency This efficiency means the information contained in historic price action of a share can be recognized in the current share prices though analyzing the historic prices has no predictive effect on the future prices since different information will be released in the future. A number of varieties of fundamental analysis techniques are apt to offer surplus returns in Weak-form efficiency, whereas most technical analysis systems will fa
The process of management has always been one of the most challenging aspects of any enterprise growth and professional development. Hence, managerial accounting as a notion stands for accumulating, analyzing, interpreting, and reporting financial data to the managers for them to reorganize the workflow in the right direction (Jiambalvo). One of the major pitfalls in terms of the accounting process is the considerable impact businesses obtain from external factors like a crisis, social tendencies, and political environment. The global COVID-19 outbreak had become one of the most critical catalysts for businesses reorganization and concept reconsideration. As a result, managerial accountants have faced some severe issues, including:   * Problematic primary data collection. Since the outbreak genesis, businesses started full-scale online management, making it hard for the accountants to reach out to all the necessary departments;   * Price allocation. With an increasing number of people infected, the overall world economy cannot remain stable for one day, making it difficult to analyze the data in terms of the epidemiologic situation in both local and outsourced regions;   * Responses by a business. The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly changed the relationship patterns both in the B2B and B2C sectors, changing the basic price policy on the production of the services, respectively. An ongoing worldwide pandemic has, by all means, changed the way people used to perceive business communication and agile economy frameworks. On the one hand, the issue that tackled the whole world regardless of status and affiliation has shown that people were born equal and deserved access to some fundamental services. On the other hand, however, the vast majority of the world community has lost considerable amounts of money due to the lockdown and workforce reduction. Hence, a primary ethical issue managerial accounting is to face in 2020 is socioeconomic inequity among both customers and businesses. Work Cited Jiambalvo, James. Managerial Accounting .

Identified Dental Public Health Project Medical and health initiatives have always focused on different problems affecting humanity such as oral diseases. The issue of dental health has become common in the recent past. Dental health services are usually aimed at preventing and treating various diseases in adults. However, the question of child dental health has been ignored for decades. The Children’s Dental Health Project was therefore initiated in order “to address a public health issue that affects many American children” ( Children’s Dental Health Project , 2016, para. 2). Description of the Project The Children’s Dental Health Project is a web-based profile for many children and their parents in the United States ( Children’s Dental Health Project , 2016). The purpose of the project is to monitor the dental health developments recorded in different states. The online platform offers meaningful snapshots that can be used by parents and policymakers to promote the dental health outcome of every child. The project also seeks to inform more people about the magnitude of children’s dental health. Experts believe strongly that the success of this project will support the oral health needs of every American child. Various Health Policies and their Impacts The American healthcare system is defined by a number of policies. Such policies promote the best approaches, practices, and strategies that have the potential to improve the health outcomes of many citizens. To begin with, the Healthy People 2020 is a powerful policy that can have significant implications on this project. This is the case because the program outlines the best practices and actions that have the potential to support more people in the country. That being the case, pioneers of the project can use this policy to promote the best dental health practices (Bright, Alford, Hinojosa, Knapp, & Fernandez-Baca, 2015). Such practices will eventually support the dental needs of many children in the US. Different states have their respective children’s health policies (Bright et al., 2015). Such policies have been put in place to address the health expectations of many children. These policies will outline new issues that can be considered in an attempt to improve the dental outcomes of many individuals (Long
Introduction Fund flows and asset provision is generally associated with the factors of extensive marketing analysis and the values of investment practices implemented by various organizations. EPFR Global is regarded as one of the most successful investors in the sphere of proprietary Web Interface. Nevertheless, the other companies, which provide similar services, require in-depth analysis and research from the perspective of competitor analysis. (De Brouwer, 2010) Analysis AMG Data Originally, the company was involved in the sphere of high yield mutual fund investment, as the necessity to implement the principles of mutual funds is explained by the economic processes in unstable markets. (Murphy, 2010) Moreover, mutual funds investment is closely associated with the aspects of the traditional values of professional market liquidity. In the light of this statement, it should be emphasized that the practices and principles which are implemented by AMG Data Company require essential rearrangement, as the proprietary Web Interface market is also regarded as the unstable sphere of investment. Nevertheless, AMG Data does not plan to expand its activity for this market (Beenhakker, 2009). Additionally, the plans of the company associated with the market expansion and provision of the investment services are not planned from the perspective of fund flow improvement. Nevertheless, in spite of the planned expansion, the company does not plan to open new offices, and the partners of the company entail mutual funds investors only. (Supnik, 2009) The planned expansion, from the perspective of business performance improvement, entails only the increase of the personnel, as new markets will require additional staff and specialists in the sphere of mutual funds investment. (Holland, Ott, and Riddiough, 2009) Trimtabs Originally, this company is aimed to cover all the possible aspects of the investment market, including stock market liquidity, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as weekly income and employment tax collections. (Ott, Riddiough and Yi, 2009) Consequently, the company may be regarded as a more serious competitor for EPRF Global. As for the matters of new offices, it should be stated that there is no necessity in additional offices and expanded staff, as fund assets (which are up to $ 13 trillion monthly), provide the necessary in improving the personnel qualification in the sphere of mutual funds, ETF and Hedge Funds investment. (Vruwink and Green, 2010) Additionally, the company performs the actions on the matters of Commodity Trading Advisors, thus, improving the opportunity of the company in gathering and analyzing the worldwide investment data. (Bernstein, Rojas, 2009) Strategic Insight This company is mainly focused on the issues of investment intelligence and consultancy on the matters of investments and fund analysis. The importance of competitive intelligence is positioned as the key resource of the company’s activity. Consequently, it should be emphasized that the company is constantly aiming t
“The Known World” by Edward P. Jones tells a story of slavery, identity, and nature. Although the book follows a multitude of characters, Moses can be considered to be the protagonist of the book. This paper will cover these major themes, the coping mechanism of the character, and my ideas about the book. Freedom, Slavery, and Identity The book tells a tale of Moses, the first slave of a black slave-owner named Henry Townsend. While growing up as a slave, Henry bonded with his master William Robbins and his behavior later in life was formed by this bond. This fact explains how he can so easily deal with the ethics of owning slaves after being a slave himself. Henry is intelligent but cruel and lacks empathy. Despite being a free man, he chooses to focus his freedom on enslaving others and sees no issues with slavery. Moses becomes his first slave, but before that, he was a slave of a French prisoner, where he had a wife. This first separation traumatized him and perhaps made him neglectful and violent toward his second wife. This draws a clear line between freedom and slavery. Moses begins as Henry’s friend, but soon Robbins makes Henry stop treating Moses as an equal. Nevertheless, Moses is loyal to Henry even after this change. Moses is used to this kind of life and described by one of the other characters as “world-stupid,” meaning he does not know how to live in the outside world. And yet, Moses is not devoid of agency. He has a strong connection to nature, both in the story of the book and its literary language. Early on, we see him go to the woods after a tough day to relax, showing how he feels free in the forest. Jones pays close attention to the nature around Moses. We can also see how Moses eats a little bit of the soil after work, connecting him to nature on a physical level. Moses gains his energy from nature, his will to live, and argued that he gains his identity from it. In contrast, his family life is described as very sparingly. He does not have a strong connection to his wife; he neglects and beats her. On multiple occasions, Moses declines to eat with his family and chooses to spend the night in the woods instead. Although his view of the world gets disrupted after he becomes involved with Henry’s wife Claudia, his connection to nature does not change. Even after the book’s tragic events, we can see how in his old age, he thinks about his time in the woods; however, now he has a slightly closer relationship with his family. The Author and I Edward P. Jones was born on October 5, 1950. He grew up in Washington, D.C., and witnessed much poverty and desperation during his life there. He was raised by a single mother whom Edward loved and dedicated his first two books. He experienced homelessness in the 1970s and often suffered from depression, which can be seen in his stories. His books often concern African Americans struggling through hard times. While they are often depressing, he finds a way to generate positive feelings from some of his characters’ warm-hearted nature. The book covered in this paper, “The Known World,” was published in 2003, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2004. I h
Introduction According to Falah (305), the U.S. media discourse about the Muslim and Arab people is majorly based on gender basis. Reports on current events from Palestine, Iraq, and other Arab countries show the ubiquity of female images in the Western media. The U.S. press has narrowly constructed and projected the Muslim women and their societal roles, for instance they have been portrayed as exotic, erotic and oppressed. Several authors have examined the relentless demonization of Islam by the Western media, which is often likened to the Nazis during the pre Second World War period. Nevertheless, the same old question looms; what the Western media seeks to gain by portraying these people in the media in negativity? According to various media personalities, this act is fueled by the desire of Western audiences to be fed with negative news. Western media changes the perceptions of their targeted audiences and this in turn results to stereotypes being formed, as is been the case among many Western citizens. Falah (302) looks at the headlines, photos, and captions, all which directly reflect editorial decisions. Against this background the paper attempts to probe the way in which the press and especially the print journalism help to produce and to reproduce specific ways of knowing the third world. Depiction of the third world by the U.S. press In today’s world a lot of what is in the media concerning third world countries and issues touching on women and men as a whole in these countries are more than often portrayed in negative light of what is really the case for them. The Westerners are constantly being fed with negative opinions and deep-seated perceptions about the lives of people in third world countries. Consequently, it results to people forming their own perceptions even though they have very little, accurate and tangible information, this leads to stereotyping and prejudicing of women and men in third world countries. People’s perceptions and the resulting stereotyping are heavily hinged on the media role of shaping these opinions in today’s world. Importance must be accorded and insisted on critically examining any information obtained on issues to do with third world countries. Mitchell (10) states that “outside the United States, everyone knows the U.S. is the most influential country in the world. Its economics, education, politics, technology, science, and culture, just to name a few areas, color the world’s every socio-economic fabric”. One has to strive to answer a number of questions within their subconscious so as to try and desist from stereotyping. This includes issues such as: whether the west becomes more informed after being fed with this inconsequential information; or the consequences befalling the people being portrayed in this kind of information; and the roles local and national media should take up in countering this and shaping opinions. The media paints a pictu
