Introduction Angel Hotel has been operating for the past ten years. The main focus of the hotel is to combine resort services with fine dining. The hotel is known for its French cuisines and has also steadily developed a strong pedigree in providing Italian dishes. Aside from the food, Angel Hotel also offers first-class wine and beverages. These offerings plus the amenities of the company are considered Angel Hotel’s main strength. Several tourists have visited the hotel because it is situated perfectly. The sunset view and the classic rooms are a few of the reasons why Angel Hotel continues to exist. Despite Angel Hotel’s perceived advantages, it has been experiencing occupancy reduction. From March to January, the hotel has recorded a decrease of 20% in occupancy. In addition, other guests prefer to ride a ferry and visit resorts elsewhere. One of the problems raised by agents to owners is the amenities of the hotel. Most visitors prefer casual resorts and look for advanced luxuries. Other clients are into large room spaces to accommodate more guests. Another item mentioned by the travel agents is the availability of spas and other amenities for relaxation. The owners of the hotel decided to make some drastic changes to save its operations. It is expected that owners will view their financial capacity to ensure that there are enough resources to make the changes possible. The report will center on the budget that the company needs in the future. Moreover, the report will also present the possible ways for the company to raise its targeted budget and pricing models to determine the rate of return. The Concept Budgeting Luft and Shields (2003) pointed out that that budgeting is used for different purposes. Primarily, budgeting dictates the conduct and planning of activities undertaken by firms. Moreover, budgeting is used to allocate the available resources of firms. Budgeting is an important mechanism that is used to motivate employees. Aside from these functions, there are other roles that the budget plays in organizations. Shield (2003) identified budgeting as a tool that can guide firms in conforming to the prevailing social norms that affect the organizations. Melkers (2001) pointed out that budgeting is a procedural process that needs to be approached by activity. Usually, organizations use the cyclical method of budgeting that includes stages such as budget development; provision of executive recommendation; appropriation of funds, and budget execution. In budget development, the framers identify the needs and priorities of the company. Then, specific costs are assigned to the endeavors that are considered facilitators of organizational success. After the development has been completed, the budget will be subjected to be viewed by the executives. In this process, the loopholes are determined and several additions and subtractions are made. Usually, executives will provide their own version of the budget which is occasionally different f
Community Identification The County of Whitfield, Georgia, includes urban and suburban areas, with such major cities as Dalton and Varnell. According to the 2010 US Census Bureau, the total population of Whitfield County accounted for 102, 559 persons and 291 square miles (“QuickFacts: Whitfield County, Georgia,” 2019). The cultural composition of the identified county is multifaceted as there are 76.6% of Whites, 1.3% of Asians, 3.7% of African-Americans, 15% of other nationalities, and 0.6% American-Indians. In addition, 35.9% of the population is identified as being of Hispanic or Latino origin. In terms of education, 69.4% of residents are high school graduates, and 15.7% have a bachelor’s degree or higher. There are 23% of people under age 65 who have no insurance, which, along with a lack of education, makes them vulnerable to low wages and health care access challenges. The median household income is $46,970, and 14.2% of the population lives in poverty (“QuickFacts: Whitfield County, Georgia,” 2019). Insufficient resources complicate the situation by limiting access to healthcare, proper rest, and other vital needs. Social and Non-Social Service Agencies Social services that are located in Whitfield are, but not limited to, Hope Georgia, the Salvation Army Dalton, the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), and the Family Support Council. The latter operates to prevent child abuse by promoting the building of nurturing and strong families. This organization delivers organizational and developmental programs to help parents. In turn, the Salvation Army Dalton includes such services as disaster relief, transitional housing, utilities and rent assistance, and food help (“The Salvation Army Dalton,” 2019). The DFCS examines the reports on child abuse and helps families in need. Hope Georgia is the local provider of mental health services, which targets the increase in care access in the given county. It also helps people having substance abuse issues and families with complex relationships. The organization cooperates with the community resources to assist people in achieving meaningful living. 90% of services are provided in the homes of its clients or schools to address transportation barriers (“Our philosophy,” 2020). In addition, the Teletherapy program is available for the convenience of citizens. The key advantage of Hope Georgia is that it offers a patient-centered specialty practice, which means that they focus on integrated healthcare. Whitfield’s non-social service agencies are the Whitfield Nursing Home, the Northwest Whitfield High School, the Beaverdale Elementary school, and so on. The main goal of these services is to ensure that target populations receive necessary information and guidance regarding their health and well-being. For example, the Whitfield Nursing Home is th
Introduction Evolution and natural selection determine the type of species present in the environment. The gene make-up of such species combined with the developmental processes they undergo affects their existence and ability to develop traits necessary for survival; this is however a bias that is under review and study. Main body The major topic addressed by the article is the impact of natural selection, developmental process, and genetic makeup on the variations and existence of organic diversity. This aspect makes it easier to analyze the development of species especially in their morphological forms in association with genetic mapping. This process has been made possible by Evo dove. An illustration is the occurrence of certain morphological characteristics in plants and animals that are caused by specific genes; an example is a black spot in the fruit fly which is brought about by the yellow gene. It is upon interested individuals to apply knowledge in evolution and genetics in order to understand the complex relationship between the aspects mentioned above (Brakefield, 2006). The importance of this topic lies in its ability to make researchers gain insight into the effects of morphological changes and allometric growth on evolution, furthermore, it is through such studies that internal and external causes that ch
Sherman Alexie presents in his poem, ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, a memory based on traumatic experiences. These experiences have enabled him to indicate the long-term memory processes of anxiety resulting from horror and elucidate his personal experience in the glimpse of horrified modes that have long-term implications. His conscience is like an open book that has retained all the outrageous memories of bloodshed. What he remembers is the slaying of mankind to which he acknowledges that he has attained and reached that extent of fear, after which fear itself has remained trivial to him. He has suffered through utmost disgust at the hands of humans, which he suggests are more than butchers and that even when he was a child. The experience of witnessing manslaughter in childhood has made Alexie horror-struck, therefore he has developed a sense of recognition for the catastrophic fear. He has seen so much human butchery in such a short span that he feels as if all other frightening stories are of no particular significance to him. Alexie mentions that he has experienced racial discrimination while being Indian American and based on such discrimination, he has seen horrendous events taking place throughout America. Butchery has been among one of the racially discriminatory practices which have made Alexie forgot his own identity. Homicide and mass murder has been one of the main links deriving from racial segregation, which a child has witnessed by inhibiting external frightful memories. The mass murder of humanity experienced by Alexie has reshaped itself in many forms and every form brings some changes that have taken place since then. Every time he remembers a historical massacre, he confronts a new threshold of fanaticism. While mentioning the types of horrifying faces he remembers the face of “Leatherface, sledgehammer, slaughter yard and killing ground” (Sherman, 1966). His remembrance has affected him and has left deep wounds on his soul which is evident from the negative emotional hazards he has gone through all these years. Alexie’s memory has elucidated many critical characteristics of violence upon him and has explained to him that terror is created from massacre and the more terror he would feel, the more he would be able to recall his obnoxious memories to express his gratitude towards lost humanity. This is what he highlights in his poem by illustrating that a despondent heart and mind is that which is shattered by the fright of his reflection upon historical events like Sand Creek. Alexie’s mind is shattered to the extent where he feels that remembrance of horror-struck is good as long as he expresses his feelings for American history by claiming that he never has been surprised over what history has given him because it is like history to surprise humanity by the violent crimes based on racial discrimination. This is what he writes, “Violence has no metaphors; it does have reveille. Believe me nothing is surpr
International Marketing Research Methodologies to Integrate China Research Objectives The main purpose of the paper is to define consistent and successful marketing strategies and methodologies to integrating top-selling products from XYZ Inc. into the Chinese market. It also seeks to identify the main challenges and constraints that the company might face, as well as how sales and pricing approaches can help overcome those problems. In addition, the research aims to set the priorities with regard to the consumer’s expectation, communication channels, and product requirements to work out efficient market strategies that a Western company should implement to penetrate the Chinese market. The paper will heavily rely on practical experience, observation, as well as theoretical frameworks applied to promote new products to China. Overview of cultural, economic, and political background is also crucial for successful marketing solutions. The paper will focus on previous surveys revealing cases of marketing of Western companies, as well as on exploratory studies in China. Specifically, specific articles will be considered to analyze the interviews, cases, and experiences of consumers, managers, and entrepreneurs in China to define which approaches and products can be effectively promoted in China. Defining Effective Research Methodologies While exploring the Chinese market, much concern should be connected with marketing and sales approaches. Cross-cultural differences are considered to be among the major challenges for foreign companies to market a particular product in the country. Within this perspective, the primary emphasis should be placed on the marketing mix strategy, general business strategy, and relationship marketing. All these areas should contribute to improving relations with Chinese consumers and the successful launching of a new product (Rui & Jing, 2011). While analyzing a marketing mix strategy, the studies rely on the general sales manager and new product development approaches. The latter attains much importance to the main factors of product innovation. Based on Chinese data samples, as well as on longitudinal studies of joint ventures, it has been revealed that product innovation is affected by both external and internal factors. In addition, such aspects as organizational support, strategic orientations, and strategic decision comprehensiveness are among the most important ones while building a marketing mix strategy (Rui & Jing, 2011). Sales management is on the current agenda because
Introduction The Japanese medical system is the best in the world and is regulated by the government. Medical services are jointly provided by the private sector and the government. These private healthcare agencies are mainly private hospitals and doctors. Private hospitals in Japan are mainly private that are not commercial. There is a mandatory health insurance in Japanese. The ratio of doctor per 1000 patients stands at 1.9 and is currently the best on earth. In Japan, all physicians receive equal pay for every given service and it has generally been noticed to lack any differentiation since regardless of the quality of the service, doctors receive the same fee. There is also lack of specialization and physicians are general. Prescription and dispensing of drugs has also not been separated. Insurance in Japan depends on where you are employed and it is the employers who fund healthcare insurance for their employees. The national health insurance funds the other unemployed Japanese (Ward & Piccolo par.8). The National Health Insurance also covers those who stay in Japan for more than a year. Certain diseases in Japan receive free screening. The Japanese medicine is a hybrid between its indigenous medicine and the western medicine. The Japanese people are very welcome to foreign culture and it is not a wonder that the earlier government fully adopted the western medicine as part of their healthcare system. The Japanese people however, still practice their native medicine together with modern medicine. Their native medicine comprises different forms like healing and balanced life (The health guide par.3). Moxibustion-special leaves heated and placed on the body, Kampo and acupuncture are among the most practiced native medicine in Japan. This mode of medicine is practiced by even the most learned doctors in Japan. The Japanese cultural healing has heavily borrowed from the Chinese medicine and has a history of about 3000 years. Comparatively, the western medicine has a history of nearly 200 years in Japan. This shows that native healing practices are deeply engraved in the hearts of the Japanese people (Audet par 4). Religion and healing The Japanese are polytheistic and their culture is highly influenced by Buddhism (foreign) and the Shinto-native traditions of the Japanese. Other traditional religions of influence in Japan are the Confucian and Daoism. Buddhism has had an influence on the way of life of the Japanese people for more than 1500 years. A principle Buddhist dictum shows that the cause of suffering is an attachment to life. The Japanese have proved to this day to give value to possessions that promise long life and health. Because the Japanese abhor death and often involve religious intervention in dealing with illness and life threatening processes (Hansen par. 4). The Japanese always employ the assistance of a priest or a medium acting like a healer to communicate with spirits on their behalf on issues touching on their lives. Today, this practice is still in full force as t
Introduction The public sector or rather known as the state sector is that part of the government that deals with provision of services to the public. Though the administration and type of services provided differs from country to country, the most common services provided through the public sector include; health care facilities, roads, street lighting, military and police just to mention but a few. In other words, the public sector is responsible for providing the public goods and services which all have access to despite whether they have paid tax or not. The public sector of any nation has an important role to play in the political, social and economic sectors. Thus most countries are yearning to establish a sizeable public sector and China is no exception. It is for this reason that China has been seeking to make reforms in its public sector for effective government of the national resources as well as other reasons. However, the process of making public reforms in the public sector of China has not been an easy one as it has been faced with many challenges and difficulties during implementation. This paper is therefore an analysis of the process of reforming China’s public sector while looking at the challenges and difficulties faced during the implementation process. The historical narrative of public sector reforms of China For a long time now, China’s government has ventured into the process making important reforms to the public sector in a bid to achieving good governance as well as improving the performance of services of the civil society. The process of China’s public sector reforms began as early as during the Second World War. During this time, Chine was dominated by capitalist who wanted everything for themselves. There came the Neo-liberals whose ideas were to blend in the liberal political views with the sole aim of improving the economic growth. This is therefore what initiated the beginning of making reforms in the public sector so as to ensure that resources were equally distributed to the nationalities. At the same time China was undergoing severe fiscal crisis which in turn affected the economy of the country thus the economic crisis. This came about due to the great Asian crises which were more serious than the current global crisis. This is because they had a great impact on the economies of Asian countries by for example increasing the unemployment levels in that continent among other factors. The crises also had a great impact on the education and health sectors of the Asian countries, China inclusive. Since government intervention was difficult, the crises affected the poor people in the society. As a result, the government of China saw the need of making reforms in its public sector so as to ensure some of the essential facilities were available to t
Executive Summary The Federal Aviation Authority regulation is the topic that was chosen for the research. The following report explains the various aircraft -noise control measures that are taken by the Federal Aviation Authority in controlling the noise problem. The following research report is divided into three sections. Section 1 includes an analysis of the history and purpose of the regulation. This section must include (but is not limited to) issues such purpose of regulation, justification for regulation, and history of the regulation. Section 2 should focus on the major issues underlying the regulation. Using the information in Section 1, this section identifies at least 3 major problems which this regulation faces.These identified regulatory issues are fully articulated and analyzed in this section. Section 3 includes the procedural solutions that should be applied in order to deal with the identified challenges.Also, they section analyze the potential for success or failure of these regulatory choices and recommend alternatives. A conclusion is given at the end to summarize the three sections of the report. Introduction The executive arm of the government is concerned with promulgating regulations. The main aim of regulations is to comply with the set goals, objectives and policies. The Federal Aviation Regulation is an example of regulation that was issued in order to deal with noise form aircrafts. The issue of noise from aircrafts became apparent in 1960s as a result of the initiation of aircraft jets. This issue was also magnified following the rise in the number of aircraft operations in the late 1960s.The Federal Aviation Authority is composed of 6 functional officers which are spread over the 9 regions and 3 centers across the US. Aircraft noise refers to undesirable sound that is produced y aircrafts when they are taking off or when they are landing. This sound usually affects people who live near the airports. Noise is associated with adverse effects and thus it was regarded as a challenge as far as the developments of aircraft aviation was concerned and so, there was need for an immediate action so as to address it. The government of the United Stated in conjunction with the engine makers conducted extensive research aimed at finding ways to quiet jet engines. The regulation role was vested to Federal Aviation Authority also known as FAA b the congress in 1968.The FAA thus embarked on strategies aimed at controlling noise from aircrafts. Since the Federal Aviation Regulation was adopted in 1969 in the United States, the issue of noise from aircrafts has been succes
Cell culture Cell culture is used through removing cells from organisms for being studied in an artificial environment to present model systems and examine cell biochemistry.   * Centrifugation is used for separating particles from a certain solution in a liquid medium with reference to their shape, size, or density, among other factors.   * CRISPR is applied for editing genomes through changing DNA sequences and altering the functions of genes.   * DNA ligation is utilized for joining DNA parts, generating a phosphodiester bond.   * Gel electrophoresis is applied for separating DNA, RNA, as well as proteins, referring to their molecule size.   * Light microscopy is used for providing three-dimensional images of cells and other organisms.   * Hemocytometer allows for counting a particular number of cells observed in a solution.   * Molecular cloning is applied for adding recombinant DNA molecules (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) to plasmids and viral vectors to make copies of DNA parts.   * Organoid tissue modeling is used to provide a realistic model of the in vivo spatial organization of the tissue with a focus on cellular/extracellular environments.   * PCR is utilized to make an extremely large number of DNA sample copies.   * Restriction enzyme digestion is necessary to support molecular cloning and checking the plasmid identity.   * RNAi is applied for the purpose of gene suppression.   * Sequencing is for identifying a sequence of nucleotides in a DNA fragment.   * Transformation is for changing a cell after uptakes and incorporation processes when introducing a plasmid into bacteria. Polymerase chain reaction Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be viewed as the most important technique in biology because it allows for quickly producing millions of copies of the required DNA sample in order to conduct numerous studies (Freeman, 2017). PCR allows for utilizing a small DNA sample to conduct as many tests and examinations as necessary. Chromatography Chromatography is applied for separating a certain mixture and purifying different types of compounds.   * Electron microscopy is used for taking high-resolution images of various biological specimens.   * ELISA is for determining and counting proteins (most often), antibodies, hormones, as well as peptides.
