Company and Service The company in question is Te Amo Limited, which is a firm offering office and home cleaning services. The company is situated in San Jose, Costa Rica. It currently has 200 employees all on a contractual basis. The company is complemented by a website and a mobile application. One thing that makes this company different from the rest in the field is the fact that it does not require long contracts with its corporate clients. Corporate customers can opt for weekly contracts with the company. The idea behind this was motivated by the increase of small and medium enterprises in the region. These institutions are unable to hold long-term contracts. The individual or home clients just have to make an order and get the service when they require the same. It is critical to note that the company’s primary objective is to offer high-quality and affordable cleaning services to all its clients. There are two elements that have to be considered when one unpacks the stated objective. The first is that the company seeks to provide quality service to its clients. The second is that the services are affordable. A stated goal of the company is to ensure that all its clients experience satisfaction with both the quality and price of their services. Overview of Country Costa Rica is a rainforest country in Central America. It borders the Caribbean and Pacific, therefore, it is also a coastal state. The country has a population of approximately 4 million and a GDP of $95 billion (Granados, 2019). A majority of the country’s citizens speak Spanish, with San Jose being its capital city. Any business that operates in the city has to pay a business tax, which applies to any business that operates within the city albeit not having an office there. Other permits will be required based on the type of business in question. It is critical to note that the country is supportive of small and medium-sized enterprises and this has seen a boost of the same (Granados, 2019). The community is, however, close-knit, meaning that foreign businesses are often shunned by the locals (Granados, 2019). In order to maneuver this, foreign employers are often encouraged to partner with the locals. Situation Analysis PEST Analysis Political The political analysis of the company shows that the country has a relatively stable political environment. This is important for businesses as it enhances growth. World Bank (2019) notes that the state is described as a democratic and peaceful country. However, there have been numerous cases of widespread corruption in the government. Critically, due to the peaceful nature of the country, small and medium enterprises thrive and have significant political goodwill. Further, the environment supports the growth of legit firms. It is important to note that the citizens often rely on the policies and structures that are provided by the government to monitor and manage businesses. Therefore, it is important that Te Amo Limited also understand the different policies that are required for a cleaning business in the country. All these policies can be viewed from the government’s website. The issue of corruption lar
Healthy eating is the process of keeping the body clean, strong, and healthy at all times (Allen, 1926). Healthy living, on the other hand, means that one should be able to eat the right food, get enough exercise, and maintain cleanliness (James, 1907). Unfortunately, many people do not keep track of these requirements. Thus, they end up with serious health problems, which can be difficult to treat. Prevention of these problems can be accomplished through maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Such a lifestyle is achievable by eating the right food and adhering to all the requirements of healthy living. The human body needs a balanced diet, which includes enough minerals, fats, vitamins, fiber, and carbohydrates (Albrecht, 1932). These substances are required by the body to facilitate the growth and functioning of body tissues. Low energy foods such as vegetables and fruits have small amounts of calories per unit volume of food. Therefore, it is advisable to eat this combination of foods in large volumes as it contains fewer calories, but has nutrients that are essential for optimal body functionality. Incidentally, one should take food that is free from unhealthy fats, but should ensure that whole grains and proteins go alongside fruits and vegetables. Apart from choosing the best foods for the body, it is also advisable that people should maintain moderate quantities of food intake. For instance, it is prudent to eat less of unhealthy foods such as refined sugar and saturated fats and more of healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits. This pattern of eating has massive health benefits to its adherents. As such, people should strive to develop good eating habits that can sustain them throughout their lives. Further, it is recommended that one should eat a heavy breakfast an hour after waking up. The breakfast needs to consist of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and proteins in balanced proportions. It should then be followed by light meals throughout the day. This requirement is important since breakfast helps to initiate the body’s metabolism. The light and healthy meals thereafter help maintain a high body energy level that keeps one active throughout the day (Allen, 1926). People should avoid eating late at night. Early dinners are advisable followed by an average of 15 hours of no food until breakfast time the next morning. Past studies show that this pattern helps regulate body weight (James, 1907). People who are diagnosed with lifestyle diseases such as anemia, high blood pressure, and diabetes among others are advised to follow diets that are rich in fruits and vegetable content (Allen, 1926). Depending on the stage o
Introduction Mobile phones are always transferring and receiving data through cellular signals even when the mobile is not used. The signals are directed and received from a cellular phone tower or a switch channel. The switch channel requires knowing which phone number the telephone is linked to. This is needed for the telephone calls and SMS to make it to the end-user ( Short Message Service: What, how, and where , n.d.). Short messages are rather helpful and became an indispensable part of human life. Nonetheless, this area needs to be investigated further to outline the issues that may hurt user experience and service quality. Moreover, the researcher might be interested in investigating the field to improve their professional and academic skills and extend their knowledge base. Objectives The key objective of the current research is to learn about the peculiarities of the SMS and SMSC technologies and, after that, to be able to evaluate the quality of these services (SMS, SMSC) and propose the ways to improve it. Another objective is to outline the weaknesses and controversies relating to the current topic and propose several proper ways to resolve the issues. The last objective is to improve the professional competence of the researcher in the area of SMS technology and its peripherals. The investigation is conducted in the form of a comprehensive literature review. This review will discuss the backend technologies that are applied, the process of sending/ receiving/ storing a message, and message safety mechanisms. Only the factual data from credible onl
This post discusses the problem of explicit racism against police officers and society as a whole. As more people of color become victims of injustice and discrimination based merely on their race, people must understand that abuse of power is unlawful and outrageous. The murder of George Floyd was one example of the police’s brutal racism, and there are many more cases of horrible discrimination that takes people’s lives. According to Barkan (2017), racism and prejudice are based on mistaken generalizations of people. Society should not let such simplifications and ignorance affect others’ lives. The socio-economic gap between Whites and people of color discussed in this post harms many people’s lives. There is a systemic inequality in society reflected in the difference in income, education, job opportunities, access to healthcare, and other important aspects of human life. As Barkan (2017) reports, despite some improvements, people of color still face significant challenges and gaps compared to the white population. The story of an African American female struggling to become a doctor and attend a medical school shows that racial inequality gaps must be addressed to give everyone equal opportunities and support. The theory of symbolic interactionism suggests that people construct their roles in society through interactions with others. On the one hand, such an approach creates symbols, gestures, and behaviors in communities that people can interpret and use to communicate. On the other hand, this theory can be used to understand social problems better. For instance, individuals can engage in problematic behaviors as they learn them from others (Barkan, 2017). Beliefs and actions of other individuals can influence one’s own perceptions and behavior. Therefore, the principles of symbolic interactionism are essential since they show connections between people and the consequences of different interactions. Reference Barkan, S. E. (2017).

Introduction Every organization strategically explores its potentials to attain a better market divide. Additionally, they strive to attain advantages over their rivals such that their products stay buoyant in both local and global market. Healthcare industry is no exception in this realm since it has to provide superior medical commodities with the intent of attaining significant growth. It is important to argue that businesses are not safe from competition in any market setting; nonetheless, the initiation of good and well-strategized competitive advantages allows them to overcome rivalry and stay afloat in the business arena. This paper discerns two forms of advantages incorporating competitive assets and liabilities in a given healthcare facility. Competitive asset Competitive assets are components of business competencies that an organization utilizes. Contextually, the reference healthcare business considers these assets to succeed in the market. It incorporates potential, performance, power, and pace. Each module contributes greatly to the growth of any business. Potential is the capacity to access superior capabilities and resources. The health care organization exhibits this component explicitly. The organization owns the assets required in ensuring proficient production and customer service. Concurrently, it has a competent workforce innovative enough to serve the dynamic global market demands. The current global market poses great demands for newly structured healthcare products. Resources are varied but major ones include enough capital, facilities, and constructive human resource. Additionally, performances entail perfect operations as well as prompt ratification of company plans. This organization emphasizes greatly on performance as one of its core competitive advantages. Its operations are of distinct measure contrasted to those of other contenders. The company ensures that all its operations in terms of customer service are of quality and time conscious. Customers are served with healthcare commodities as at their demand. Power is another CA enjoyed by this company. It aids transformation strategies of a given firm. Every organization necessitates the will to commence and sustains its strategies, which drives the company towards definite goals. Power involves accumulation and effective use of company mass. It incorporates three categories, which entails the power to start, continue, and finally the power to finish any given strategy. This organization has several business approaches, which targets efficacy in consu
Introduction In rural communities, it is harder to advance nursing health promotion services than in urban areas. Thus, the appropriate application of the principles of patient-centered care to the provision of health promotion services is crucial. In essence, there are eight most essential principles of patient-centered care. They include emotional and physical comfort, access to care, respect for patient’s preferences, integration of care, information, education, transition, and continuity (Shi et al., 2017). The efficient application of these principles directly depends on the adequate provision of the population with rural doctors. Besides, it is critical to ensure the participation of rural doctors and nurses in continuing professional education programs with the aim of further training and better assisting patients (Conway et al., 2016). Finally, it is paramount to guarantee the introduction of new organizational and therapeutic diagnostic technologies on an outpatient basis, for example, hospital-replacing forms and patronage. Under such circumstances, the principles of patient-centered care would be properly applied in rural communities. Patient-centered care and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Informational and educational patient-centered care approaches to the provision of nursing health promotion services should be used in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rural areas. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a significant medical problem that places a heavy economic and social burden on rural residents (Kitzman, Hudson, Sylvia, Feltner & Lovins, 2017). The development of the disease is usually associated with exposure to environmental aggression factors, smoking, respiratory diseases of infectious etiology, and several other causes. That is why rural residents should be fully informed about the severity of the disease and its consequences. Accordingly, the comprehensive application of informational and educational care approaches can protect rural inhabitants from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Assuming that there are only eleven people left on Earth and four must be chosen based on their survivability, mental and physical fitness and their ability to contribute to the survival of the human species these four people should survive: Mary Evans, Mrs. Garcia, Mrs. Clarke, and Mr. Newton. In order to best ensure the survivability of the human species, we need a combination of people that will help maximize the group’s survival potential. Females are more important than males in the survival of the human species because, in order to bear new members of the species, females must bear them for a long period of time whereas in case of males, one man can impregnate many females in a short amount of time, a scarcity of females would therefore be the biggest bottleneck to human population growth (Sigmund, p. 135). Therefore among the four survivors, here should be three females and only one male, since having more than one male would be superfluous. The people selected should be mentally and physically fit and have the inclination and the ability to bear children. The people selected should not be too old, especially the women, since women’s fertility declines sharply with age, whereas men remain virile to a much greater age. In addition, the people selected should have the ability to get along with one another since internal cohesion of a group increases their chance of survival (Khalil and Boulding, p. 172). Any useful skills and knowledge the survivors bring to the group would be an added plus. Mary Evans should be one of the people chosen to survive because she is an 18 year old female. The fertility of women is at its peak in the late teens and the early twenties, therefore in terms of reproduction; it is reasonable to suppose that Mary Evans is in her prime and will remain in her prime for a few more years. Being the youngest female with child bearing ability, Mary Evans is my first choice. Mary Evans wears glasses, it is reasonable to assume that she is myopic, myopia being the commonest reason for young people having to wear glasses. Myopia is not a debilitating disease and is also correlated with intelligence, which bodes well for Mary Evan’s intelligence and that of her future offspring (Brody, p. 220). In contrast to Mary Evans, Dr. Dane is an old man, Mrs. Dane is female but old and unhealthy and Mr. and Mrs. Dane also bore a mentally retarded child, which raises doubts about the quality of their genes. Bobby Dane is male and mentally retarded. Mr. Newton, Mr. Blake and Father Frans are males; Dr. Gonzales is too old, regardless of whether he or she is a male or a female. Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Clark are both older than Mary Evans and are thus they are probably much closer to the end of their child-bearing days. At the age of three months, Jean Garcia is too young to procreate (Mcfaul, p. 363). My second choice for a survivor is Mrs. Garcia. Mrs. Garcia is twenty-three from which it is reasona
As the world steadily become a global village, several aspects of humanity and the need to protect human rights from excesses of illegal activities in ungoverned spaces across the world. Reflectively, these spaces are characterized by failed governance, terrorist, piracy, drug trafficking, and abuse of human rights. Thus, this reflective treatise attempts to explicitly support the activities of the western states towards building governance and rule of law often associated with massive resource use in these areas. Besides, the paper identifies the main reasons why these activities and investment portfolios are justified. Ungoverned spaces in the current globe include the coastline of Somalia, the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and some remote parts in the larger Sub-Saharan Africa, among others. These places are often poorly governed due to inability to control its occupants, security lapses, or lack of resources to manage the same. Due to minimal or complete lack of the rule of law in such areas, they become an immediate and substantial security threat towards international trade, control of epidemic diseases such as bird flu, and fight against terrorist that threatens existence of humanity 1 . For instance the space between Afghanistan and Pakistan boarder has in the past been a fertile breeding ground for the radical Islamic insurgents who almost pulled down twelve planes in a day if their plot had gone unnoticed. Besides, in the last four years, western countries have lost billions of dollars due to loss and delayed business along the busy Indian Ocean route infested by the lawless Somali pirates. These pirates often demand unrealistic ransoms in addition to taking lives at will when their demands are not met. Moreover, in the larger sub-Saharan Africa region, ethnic based competition for limited resources have made some of these places lawless and a fertile ground for atrocities against women and children. Thus, “the most acute manifestation of state weakness is found not only in its dysfunction but also in its complete absence from places where it should be”. 2 Generally, despite the clear laws and regulations defined by the United Nations bill on human rights, the above mentioned areas have no means of implementing policy based security, trade, and health plans. Despite the lapse, these areas form part of the trade route, intelligence faculty, and world population. The demographic patterns in these areas necessitate the action adopted by the western countries to rebuild governance that are inclusive of the universal laws and cultures of the natives. Through “capacity-building programs, involving training, institutional development and th
In Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use”, the author places two sisters side by side for an afternoon of visiting. One of these sisters, Maggie, lives with her mother in a small, poorly built shack on the edge of the country and is planning to marry a somewhat unattractive but dependable man in their small town. As a child, she was caught in a fire and still bears significant scarring on her legs and arms, a fact that makes her shy and withdrawn. The other sister, Dee, lives a beautiful life in the city with her good looks, her outgoing charm, and her refusal to be denied. She is described as having lived a charmed childhood, easily able to get her way with other people as a result of her natural charm and good looks while her brains enabled her to attain a higher level of education than either her mother or her sister. Her status with the man she travels with is unknown, but her attitudes and behaviors are that of a middle-class urban black woman attempting to recapture a sense of her heritage. Walker’s brilliant characterization illustrates that while both girls can be seen to honor their past and the cultural heritage from which they descended, their approaches to this past are as different as their appearances. Throughout the story, both girls are seen to have a strong appreciation for their past. Whether it is to make fun of the scene later or to truly appreciate where she came from, one of the first actions Dee makes on her arrival is to grab her camera. “She stoops down quickly and lines up picture after picture of me sitting there in front of the house with Maggie cowering behind me. She never takes a shot without making sure the house is included. When a cow comes nibbling around the edge of the yard she snaps it and me and Maggie and the house.” Dee happily accepts the traditional food her mother makes for her, the same food the mother and Maggie tend to eat all the time, which is also singled out as unacceptable by her companion. Dee’s reaction too much of the events of the visit are reminiscent of a person’s reaction to a historic theme park, attempting to make a connection with a way of life she has transcended yet feeling a sense of loss as a result, which is a connection Maggie lives every day of her life. Both girls know and appreciate the many things around the house that have been created by one relative or another, Dee is able to recognize “Grandma Dee’s butter dish” and “the benches her daddy made for the table when we couldn’t afford to buy chairs” while Maggie tells her “Aunt Dee’s first husband whittled the dash … His name was Henry, but they called him Stash.” Despite the similarities, the girls’ interest in these things seems to hail from different sources. The type of interest Dee shows in her surroundings is immediately depicted as approaching cultural awareness from a distance, like a theme park belonging to someone else’s world. While she apparently loves her mother and sister, “She wrote me once that no matter where we ‘choose’ to live, she will manage to c
