Introduction People who are not going to settle for less, the Audi of the XXI century is waiting for you. The time for the big game has come, and Audi will see you through it. Because of the brilliant combination of elements creating an amazingly cozy atmosphere and the amazing technological advances, Audi 2014 can be considered by far one of the most successful products that the company has ever released into the market. More to the point, the price is rather accessible; it can be assumed that the Audi 2014 cars are going to enjoy much more popularity than any of the Audi cars ever have. New Opportunities The Audi cars of the XXI century are no longer designed solely for transportation. The Audi Company has finally made a giant leap towards perfecting not only function but also form; Audi 2014 was the result. Casting a single glance at it is enough to understand its key advantages. To start with, the cars have much better power steering feedback. Next, they are designed for city streets, which means that they move very smoothly even over a rough surface. In addition, cars are unbelievably quiet. The 8-speed automatic helps explore the 3.0-liter V6 engine capacity to the maximum, while the electronic power steering allows for impressive acceleration (2014 Audi A6 para. 1–5). More to the point, the 2014 cars have taken it to the new level. The car designers have embraced not only the Audi concept of comfort but also perfected it. There is no secret that Audi has been known for quite a long time as the company producing luxury cars. The emphasis has always been on the wow effect that the car is going to have, as well as the impression that its owner will make on the audience (U Design: 2016 Audi R8 Coupe Could End Up Looking Like This para. 3). Audi Vs. Bmw To make it perfectly clear for those who have spotted the similarities between the new Audi course and the recent BMW products (2014 Audi S5 vs. 2014 BMW 435i para. 2), the new car design captures the performance feel of the BMW 5 Series, yet at the same time allow for a less “sterile” atmosphere, thus, creating the impression of comfort. Of course, one must give the BMW series credit for being the first to come up with the solution that Audi has also chosen as the next avenue for its evolution. Still, what BMW only suggested as another feature of its brand design, Audi has turned into a part of its philosophy, making it obvious that comfort and efficiency can and must be combined for the customer to feel satisfied. Technological Advances For those who think that this is the final point of the Audi cars evolution, the designers of the 2014 on-coming concept have some news. Although the idea of introducing the electronically-controlled quarto system into the Audi cars is only a concept and will first be deployed into the system of racecars, an “electrified four-wheel drive” (Electronically-Controlled Quattro System for Audi’s 2014 R18 E-Tron para. 2) may become an integral element of the Audi cars of the next generation. Conclusion Anyway, the Audi Company has a range of opt
House sustainability was never taken seriously in the past. With the mounting pressure for going green and a sense of responsibility, many people are today erecting houses which are sustainable to conserve and sustain the ecology for the future. Sustainable home design incorporates and centers on economic accountability, social and negligible environmental impact (“Sustainable Homes Design Plans” par.2). The procedure for building a sustainable house involves architects, engineers, landscape designers, interior designers and clients who come together to make decisions and choices and go through the creation and post creation phases. These people ensure that the project is completed as per the design. In the recent years, the world has experienced a lot of rural to urban migration. People’s lives are thus revolving around the cities with majority not having time to relax and appreciate nature due to busy lifestyles. To ensure conservation, people have to reconsider their busy lives and learn to relate and value the natural world. Moreover, nature helps in alleviating stress and this in turn raises productivity levels. When designing houses, the exterior should be well thought-out as well as the interior since the outdoor space is the first attraction that meets the eye before entering the main house. Furthermore, it helps the inhabitants interact with nature (Lewis 1). In designing outdoor spaces, materials could be recycled to reduce wastage, plants, flowers and grass incorporated and use of proper lighting that is catchy. Examples of designs of outdoor living spaces are shown in figures 1, 2 and 3 below. Figure 1: Exterior view of a sustainable house Figure 2: An outdoor space showing the incorporation of plants Figure 3: An outdoor space showing the use of wood
A Report on the MDG Progress The contemporary world is faced with a lot of challenges and difficulties. As an organization that was formed to combat crises globally, UN has to ensure that these challenges are being tackled. The Millennium Development Goals were formed in 1990 to try and meet the needs that cannot be met by a member country on its own. Based on six goals, this paper will give a detailed report on the international community’s progress towards meeting the targets Goals chosen and why The following are the goals that have been chosen for review on their progress internationally: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality and empower women, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health and combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. These goals have been selected due to their urgency. According to Bojo and Chandra (9), hunger, disease, poor education systems and gender inequality are the most dominant challenges that are facing many countries. Apart from that, the rate at which they affect humanity reduces the rate of social, economic and political growth (Bojo and Chandra 9). Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger According to the UN Report (6), the first target of this goal is to cut by half the number of people whose daily income is below $ 1 between 1990 and 2015. The second target is to accomplish productive and decent employment for all people. Within the same period, this goal is also supposed to reduce the number of people suffering from hunger (Devarajan, Miller and Swanson 18). Most of these problems, as Devarajan, Miller and Swanson (18) assert, have been caused by the economic dwindling experienced throughout the world, especially the developing nations. Measures are being implemented to meet this goal. Firstly, the number of people living in poverty has reduced from 1.8 billion to 1.4 billion between 1990 and 2005.The percentage of people living in extreme poverty has fallen down from 46 to 27 also. The developing world is meeting this target in that, the number of underweight children has fallen down. The UNESCO Report of 2010 also shows that most African countries, especially Kenya and Namibia are implementing hunger policies (“Education Counts: Towards the Millennium Development Goals” 44). African governments are putting aside extreme amounts of funds in their budgets to solve the hunger, poverty and unemployment challenges. By 2015, things ought to have improved and the targets met fully. Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education This goal targets to achieve help poor countries make improvements in offering education to their people. The most targeted region is Sub-Saharan Africa, where most children are out of school. According to the MDG Report of 2010, inequality between boys and girls in developing
Our health department collects data and statistics from all community members who visit our health care. It then uses this data to address not only the community but also the medical professionals concerning the general health conditions of the community from time to time. This data is also used to restructure as well as prioritize the health policies of health care. It is through these processes that the department comes up with a thoroughly deliberated approach on how health care should dispense quality services to the community. It is via these records that we find out which medical sectors require more personnel and of which qualifications. Therefore, the collection of customers’ information is an inevitable process (Thornton, 2001). During the process of collecting such information, customers’ informed consent is always our priority. Informed consent refers to a simple but detailed conversation between a medical practitioner and the patient which targets the patient’s agreement to undergo a given medical intervention that is yet to be or has been diagnosed (Diez-Roux, 2000). Since all of our health physicians are highly trained in their respective medical fields, they ensure that they are fully prepared to adequately carry out such discussions with patients and confirm the receipt of the message. This is aimed at ensuring that the patient is undoubtedly aware of all the medical procedures that the physician might decide to conduct and the possible future consequences. Beside thorough and detailed physician-customer discussions, we also have well written and comprehensive forms that customers fill for the physician to gauge their consent. We promptly adhere to our work ethics. Some patients could not be in a position to provide informed consent due to impairments to their judgment ability. Such impairments would include immaturity, stress, being in a coma, severe intoxication and mental illness. In such cases, another individual, for example, the patient’s parent or guardian will be authorized to give consent on his/her behalf. Our health care team will strive to obtain assent from the patient whenever possible. In situations where decisions involved are bound to cause distress to the patient that is hard to tackle, our health care physicians focus on retaining the patient’s hope. They then assess the consent via the well-established follow-up plan we have at the health care. The essential way of building a good relationship between patients and health care physicians is through protecting their confidentiality. Communication of necessary details between the physicians and/or health systems is required for quality patient care. Unfortunately, advances in technology
Widespread slavery is one of the significant realities between the mid-1800s and early 1900s in America that has to be considered when examining American history and literature. The increased demand for cheap labor to exploit and sustain the vast plantations motivated the slave system. However, sharp political divisions and controversies over this practice during the Reconstruction era led to the Civil War. The economics of slavery and the desire to control slaves inspired the conflict between the South and North. The clash of opinions over the morality of slavery heightened the fight against African Americans’ enslavement, which led to the abolition of slavery. This historical change was marked by the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 (Goodwin 899). The reconstruction era realities such as the Civil War and the abolition of slavery remain relevant today because they underscore the persistent socioeconomic injustices and the government’s role in protecting its citizens’ rights and freedoms. Another important reality in American history and literature is the marginalization of women’s rights and suffrage. Women were widely denied the right to participate in many aspects of social and political life, including voting (Goodier 196). The reorganization of the women’s suffrage movement led to significant constitutional amendments focused on enfranchising women. The most substantial change was women’s empowerment, particularly the right to vote and increased economic roles in society. Furthermore, an analysis of the United States’ history and literature has to recognize the importance and impact of the industrial revolution. The industrialization period was characterized by radical economic developments that led to a paradigm shift in production from artisans to large factories. Rapid advances in transportation and technology pioneered large-scale, well-organized, coordinated industrial activities. The major changes attributed to this trend are rapid urbanization, population growth, and immigration into America. Lastly, the Progressive movement is an important development in America’s history. The radical widespread social activism and political reforms introduced during this era sought to address problems caused by previous developments such as the rise of industries and urban centers, the influx of immigrants, and widespread corruption in the government. Overall, these social, economic, and political realities and changes define America’s history and literature.

Current essay deals with some issues presented in the Shakespeare’s great tragedy Hamlet. The main problems addressed in current research are possible reasons for Hamlets hesitation and indeterminacy. By means of detailed analysis of Act 3 where these hesitations become the most evident we will try to understand whether the abovementioned features of character are peculiar to Hamlet or whether they are somewhat alien and superficial. There is no denying the importance of the fact that the whole fabric of Shakespeare’s tragedy unfolds in Hamlet subjective perception and interpretation of his uncle and mother’ treason. The more he asserts himself in his desire to revenge Claudius the more he embitters himself to the outside world which appears to him as totally hypocritical and false. Hamlet’s subjectivity twists apart and he can’t see the sense of life where money, vanity, treason, hypocrisy are wide-spread among people. Nobody can’t understand these changes in Hamlet as he becomes more closed and unsociable. The split in Hamlet’s personality represents the split between two epoch which in Hamlet’s own words he is chosen to unite. The indeterminacy and deep alienation of Hamlet’s personality can be described as something that represents not Hamlet’s particular features of character but a spirit of new time which broke traditional flow of life. Hamlet perceives life and reality as false and fake: they are not good place to live, hence famous dilemma ‘To be or not to be’ – is a central dilemma of Hamlet. To put it plain the revenge that Hamlet plots is not central to Shakespeare’s tragedy. The practice of vendetta was quite spread in aristocratic nations of that period and its description would be banal today if it was the central theme and problem Shakespeare posed. If all was about revenge Hamlet could just make it in ‘good’ aristocratic traditions without asking difficult questions and not thinking of eternal problems. The thing is that Hamlets regards Claudius treason and the ugly picture of Dutch court that it revealed as the symptoms of great crisis that makes it impossible to Be. Polonius, Ofelia, Laertus, Gertrude, all these people are the markers of this crisis. Everything had merged in one dark picture. These facts partly explain why Hamlet hesitates to kill Claudius in Act 3 Scene 3. We see that Hamlet having possibility to kill Claudius hesitates to do it as he see him praying: Now might I do it pat, now he is praying/ And now I’ll do’t. And so he goes to heaven/And so am I revenged. That would be scann’d: A villain kills my father; and for that,/ I, his sole son, do this same villain send To heaven./ O, this is hire and salary, not revenge’ (Act 3, Scene 3). Here we see that Hamlet’s hesitates on the religious grounds claiming that if he kills uncle during prayer Claudius will come to Heaven. Instead Hamlet reassures himself that the revenge will be committed in better conditions ‘When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage/Or in the inc
Introduction Misery is a short story that was written by Anton Chekhov. It focuses on a man called Iona Potapov. Iona is a Russian sled driver. He has recently lost his son. He is a lonely man. He feels bereaved by his son’s death and longs to express his emotions. Iona is so depressed that his skin is pale. He sits on his sled and it appears that only his mare is concerned about his troubles. The theme of sadness is prevalent throughout the story. Iona attempts to express his feelings to several people but they all refuse to listen to him. In the end, he expresses himself to his horse. He is glad that she is willing to listen to his words of sorrow. Araby was written by James Joyce. It is a classic short story. It is set in a dull residential area. Araby is based on the life of a young boy who is on the verge of puberty. He is intrigued by the opposite sex. His infatuation is focused on the sister of his friend Mangan. His infatuation is so strong that he occasionally sheds ears. The young lad is sad because he wishes to express his feelings to Mangan’s sister but doesn’t know-how. He promises to buy the girl something from a bazaar known as Araby. He hopes that the present will bring them closer to each other. The boy lives in a dull neighborhood. The theme of sadness is evident. The description of the surroundings portrays a somber environment. The boy thinks that Araby is a magical and wonderful place. He comes to realize that it is very materialistic and quite dull. The story is inconclusive. In the end, the boy is sad and angry at his naivety. (Joyce, 25) Discussion Misery is a melancholic tale. It is set in a wintry Russian town. Iona Bobatov is perturbed by his son’s death. Like most people, death has dealt him a hard blow. He is a very lonely man. He wishes to express his feelings about his son’s death. He longs for human empathy. He first tries to speak of an officer of the government who has boarded his sleigh. At first, the officer appears interested. Iona is excited and turns around to face him only to be bombarded with insults. He tries several times to catch the officer’s attention but the officer closes his eyes and shows great disinterest. The officer alights at his destination. (May, 154) Iona is confronted by a group of young men. He offers them a cheap ride just so he can get someone to talk to but the youths do not want to listen to his tale. One rudely remarks, “We shall all die…” (Chekhov, 125) Iona is tired of thinking about his son. “He cannot think about his son when he is alone…. To talk about him with someone is possible, but to think of him and picture him is insufferable anguish….”(Chekhov, 34) T
The book How the Other half Lives depicts the life experience of poor immigrants in America at the end of the 18 th century. The great issue affecting America at the end of the 19 th century is the conflict between change and tradition. Urban planning has been predominantly based on national concepts of design and planning, where British or American planners and architects especially have helped change existing areas as well as design new neighborhoods and cities. The book is divided into 25 chapters devoted to different problems and issues of urban life and problems of immigration. Jacob Riis depicts that rapid development and destruction of the old have led to the loss of urban identity. Particularly within the last several decades of the 19 th century, land speculation and the lack of any coherent urban policies have led to unchecked growth and urban sprawl, resulting in the loss of thousands of acres of arable land and forests. The poverty that affects the urban poor is particularly felt by women, whose health and psyches are closely tied to their roles as wives and mothers 1 . Hence, marital relations, childbearing, and other family, matters are central to their lives. Jacob Riis focuses in chapter 6 on the struggles of impoverished women in urban settings. “So are the toddling youngsters bow-legged half of them, and so are no end of mothers, present and prospective, some of them scarce yet in their teens. Those who are not in the street are hanging” 2 . The author analyzes these issues in detail using case studies of almost different nationalities. Inhorn stresses the “reproductive double bind”, who may be blamed, stigmatized, and even divorced if they do not bear children – and who may similarly be punished for having too many. The poverty of the city exacerbates these problems, creating even greater stresses for the urban poor. Violence, calamity, and fear have become part of the life of many urbanites. Wars between nations riots, and protests have all complicated life in the cities and compounded already pressing urban problems. Depending on the specific country, numbers ranging from dozens to hundreds of thousands of persons have died as the result of violent conflicts. The struggle for power and control of governments is one of the most prominent issues – and conflicts
Introduction The identification and mitigation of potential threats are essential for the work of business administrators. This paper will discuss a situation that required me to develop a plan for controlling risks. The case was related to supply chain management and procurement. It is vital to identify the steps taken to reduce the probability and extent of losses resulting from the cooperation with a new vendor. Overall, the proposed recommendations aimed to give the supplier incentives to reach higher standards of performance; moreover, they were supposed to describe the safeguards that could be useful in identifying possible problems at early stages. Background The situation emerged when the manufacturing company in which I was employed had to launch a new line of products. By that time, the organization ended its long-term relations with the firm that previously supplied various component parts. This decision had to be taken because the supplier was not fully committed to the needs of my employer. The organization was no longer ready to reach the quality standards set by the company. Therefore, the managers had to perform two tasks critical for success. They had to find a supplier that could help the company ensure the launch of the new product line. At the same time, they had to mitigate possible risks that may arise when a company switches from one supplier to another. As a member of the project team, I was responsible for identifying potential problems and proposing methods for either avoiding them or reducing their impact. To a large degree, the risk management plan was based on several discussions held with engineers and the marketing team. Much attention was also paid to the experiences of other businesses that had to establish relations with new vendors. Two critical risks had to be considered, namely, the problem of delays in the supply of goods and low quality of component parts. Each of these problems could result in substantial financial losses incurred by the company. The plan that I developed was supposed to decrease the probability of each risk and reduce its impact on the performance of the company. The Risk of Delays Several measures were proposed to reduce the probability of delays in the supply of component parts. The company was recommended to follow strict procedures for evaluating potential vendors. Much attention had to be paid to the expertise of these businesses and assessments given to them by their former or current partners. The engineers had to inspect the production facilities of different vendors. Thus, they assessed the time efficiency of those organizations and their manufacturing standards. Later, when the vendor was chosen, the engineers made several recommendations that could be helpful in avoiding potential disruptions. Finally, the
