Introduction Every building project, regardless of its complexity and the anticipated functions of the final construction, needs to be carefully planned and thoughtfully evaluated prior to being built. Moreover, in such projects, as have a high level of importance and complexity, the stage of projection and testing is extremely critical because in the cases where such structures are poorly planned or ineffectively built, they may potentially become life-threatening to their users. In the contemporary world, where all technologies are developing rapidly, there are methods to pseudo-create or replicate future projects and evaluate their features, qualities, and potential challenges using versatile models, plans, and schemes. One such technological offering, Building Information Modelling (BIM), is recognized as a “game-changer” in the field of construction and requires special attention as a powerful resource and a source of endless opportunities for creativity, learning, and improvement of projects (HM Government 2012). This paper will review one of the building projects that is currently taking place in the territory of the United Kingdom. In particular, the building project under review is the Flood Alleviation Project, which is designed to protect the city of Leeds from floodwaters. First of all, this proposal will provide an overview of the project, its objectives, and plans. Second, the mission of a BIM system for this particular project will be presented. Third, the available types of BIM software will be reviewed and discussed in relation to the project. In addition, similar BIM cases will be described. Finally, a feasible BIM system for the building project will be proposed, and its advantages will be discussed. Flood Alleviation Project for Leeds: Overview Due to its location and the island nation’s inner geography, the territory of the United Kingdom is potentially exposed to the threat of flooding. The whole area is surrounded by water and also has multiple rivers running across the landscape. As a result, the risk of flooding has been one of the growing concerns of construction agencies, city planners, and political agents all around the United Kingdom. In particular, the growing risk of floods has produced effects on the region of Leeds. At the very beginning of the 2000s, the city of Leeds had been safe from flooding. However, over the last fifteen years, the situation has changed significantly. Throughout the last decade, Leeds has been close to becoming flooded several times (Heritage Masonry 2016). The city authorities have noticed that the risk of flooding has become higher, and the River Aire that is the main source of floods in the area is not surrounded by any type of formal protection. In particular, it is worth notici

Importance of a Dream Job Young people should think about their futures before they choose their majors. I believe that I am fortunate to have chosen business as my main field of study. It helps to unite various ethical issues, leadership skills, and financial items. A successful leader has to think about many things at the same time. Self-regulation, empathy, and social skills are the competencies for a leader’s consideration (Goleman 78). It is not enough to know what job should be chosen. It is important to understand the worth of a dream job, develop a detailed plan to obtain it, find enough motivators, and be sure that the choices made promote personal happiness and satisfaction. (Colby et al. 51). After graduation, I hope to succeed in the finance and gain the required portion of experience in the U.S. to come back home and join the family business started by my grandfather. I think that an investment bank or some private equity could be chosen to gain a better understanding of cultural principles, the peculiarities of the work in teams, and the concerns that could be developed between employees. Still, to be a part of a team and to work as a part of the already established business should not be defined as my final goal. These are simply the means to achieve the dream job. I want to be educated and experienced enough to establish a company. To be a leader of my own company connected with
A brief overview of Medicare and Medicaid is outlined together with the purpose for setting these programs up. The effect as a result of instating the above programs on those people who depended on the Supplementary Security Income (SSI) is covered. An outline of the population covered by the Medicaid and Medicare programs. An outline of the government and medical response to the challenge facing the Medicaid and Medicare is highlighted. An examination of a number of issues and how they are related to Medicaid and Medicare is carried. Lastly an highlight of the lessons learnt is highlighted. Historical Background It was in 1965 that the congress passed the Medicare and the Medicaid by amending the social security act of 1935. Medicare targeted the payment of medical bills for the elderly and those people with disabilities, whereas Medicaid was established to pay the medical bills for the poor (David, 1976). Medicaid is considered a fundamental source of funding especially in the case of behavioral health services; it is considered the largest payer for medical bills in the USA and the second in the substance abuse treatment. The expectation that the Medicaid bill be the largest and sole source of health funding makes the spending on it massive. The states which have implemented the Medicaid program are thirty five but twenty two of them have included the general Medicaid population. People who suffered from disabilities arising from alcoholism or drug abuse were rendered ineligible to receiving Supplementary Security Income (SSI) in the near 1997; they received these benefits under the medical program called the Social Security Disability Insurance and Aid to Families with Dependent Children. This policy change affected almost half of those who were considered eligible as per disability criterion. This policy adversely affected the health insurance of drug abuse and alcoholism since their medical aid eligibility was linked to their disability nature. The loss of health care by those detached from the program was anticipated to have dire consequences on their health especially those who required psychiatric attention. This was because mental disability cases were much prevalent to those who suffered from the problem of substance abuse and hence there is a debate that these individuals should be admitted back due their disability status. This however has proved difficult to them to undertake the reapplication process and to enroll back to the health program. The number of the population of those hospitalized, almost a quarter suffer from drug and substance abuse. The state of Oregon introduced a program they named Methadone which they considered as a cheap way of treating opiate addiction Population Affected The populations that are covered under the Medicaid are; pregnan

Introduction The global economic crisis negatively affected the current situation in the fashion industry. The primary objective that has been met was a chance to change the customer’s habits of the people. As a result of this tendency, all the consumers showed the tendency to reduce their purchasing power. Today, this tendency is true even for the wealthiest group of world population. As a result of the deep changes, many consumers are quickly adapting to the demands of the new world. Many world brands are keeping a relatively low profile of their work. Environmental threats The decline in Trendy Apparel industry is reasoned by the customer’s unwillingness to buy goods from the leading brands. The crisis is reasoned by the fact that cheaper items have conquered a larger chunk of the mass market. As a result of these changes, the young people with a low-income background show the tendency to spend less money on designer labels than they did during the previous times. Rising unemployment, credit squeeze and plummeting home budgets negatively affected the fashion industry. It means that the companies are not very quick to announcing their economic figures. As a result of the world crisis, many consumers decided to toughen their budget.

The impending changes pushed many companies to search for new ways of solving their credit problems (Armstrong and Kotler 54). Opportunities of A&F During the recent times, A&F made a strategic decision to improve the all-round customer experience. The improvement of customer expertise helped the company to find a solution to the problems of quick access to delivery and collection of information. The customers were also given a chance to arrange ad hoc deliveries and collections with the drivers. The specific thing about the new methods of service delivery is that it enables the customers to arrange matters while the products remain to be in the process of delivery. Taking this measure enables the customers to handle customer requests at short notice. The main objective for which the system has been designed is meeting the needs of ‘hub and spoke’ business model. The main feature of the system is that the drivers have the ability to log delivery information on consignments. Information logging is usually accomplished with the help pf Symbol’s handheld computer (Dobson and Starkey 22). Organizational strengths The use of strategic approach can support the process of communications that take place within the system. As for the process of parcel barcodes, this process enab
The internet has enabled people to communicate in a more timely and efficient way. It has changed the way people conduct their personal and business activities, thus changing nearly every aspect of life. Internet communication tools include websites, e-mails, forums, chats, and streams (Fenell, 2010). The following are some of the terms used in online communication tools: User ID : a distinctive combination of characters, like letters or numbers which users accessing their accounts are required to provide for identification. Many users prefer to use their first and last names for identification. A user named Mike Cooper might select M Cooper as his user ID. Host name : this is an identifier for devices communicating over the internet. Host names are essentials in emails or usenet for identifying devices (computers). Host names can be straightforward names having one word or phrase, or have complicated names with Domain Name System (DNS) identifier. Snail mail : known as paper mail, snail mail refers to the traditional physical mails that take longer time to reach the recipients as compared to e-mails. E-mail client : this is a computer application that helps users to organize their e-mail since it can access the mailbox. Apple mail and Mozilla

Abstract The purpose of the present research is to find out if there exists or not any relationship between the communication and the strength of a specific relationship. Since the topic maintains sociological significance in respect of social relationships, Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory (1943) has been applied during the present study. The following hypothesis has been developed for the present study: Regular communication between the members within a social setup, stronger the relations between the individuals of society Interview-schedule has been applied as the tool for data collection for the present study. Eighteen individuals belonging to different age groups, gender and area were selected on the basis of quota (non-probability) basis for the interview. After the research process, the hypothesis was upheld. Introduction It has aptly been stated that man is a social animal; all his needs and desires are fulfilled by living within a social setup and leading a gregarious life. Family is the basic human institution and man is born in it under the ties of strong relationships, where he gets food, clothes, shelter, security, and emotional comforts. Since family is the primary social institution, man keeps in close touch and in constant communication with the members of his family from birth till death. In addition, he also maintains intimate relationships with his peer group and childhood friend. It keeps him in constant contact with them and helps him out in fortifying these relations. Communication is, Ruigrok views, something we all know is necessary to keep any relationship strong and loving, and although we are aware of the importance of communication, we still seem to be clueless about what exactly good communication really is. (Quoted in enotalone.com) Communication is not only necessary at the human person, domestic, communal, and social level, but also it contains imperative significance in the corporate sector too. The contemporary age is the age of communication and technological advancement, where the latest sources of contacts have been devised. Quick, constant, and rapid contacts lead towards making new relationships and fortifying the old ones. The axis of relationships, Zaidi opines, revolves around the caring, compassionate, congenial, and considerate words that man sends to others and strengthens his circle of companions, c
