Executive Summary This report provides an extensive overview of the market of skim powder milk in Australia, and specifically the product of the company Devondale. The report provides the statistics regarding the market share, brand share, and the main competitors of the Devondale brand in that segment. Additionally, the products, as well as the target customers, were identified, providing a brief marketing mix of the results. Market Background The market of skim powder milk can be defined as the group of the product’s buyer, existent or potential. The researched product is Devondale’s Skim Milk Powder, and thus the market of this product is the groups buying or intending to buy this category of products. A definition could be derived from the needs of the customers, and in that regard, these needs would be as follows:   * Low-fat milk   * Expenses saving   * The ability for longer storage   * All-natural elements of fresh milk Thus, the market can be defined as the population of Australia that wants to consume low-fat milk, without the concern of storage, and being concerned for their health and the nutritional benefiting products. Being part of the dairy industry, dairy production was one of the major industries in Australia, where the average annual consumption was estimated at 100 litres (Trewin, 2004). The main direction taken in the manufacturing of powder milk in Murray Goulburn started with the purchase of Devondale Cream Company in 1972. The latest developments in milk powder manufacturing in Murray Goulburn include the investment in carbon monoxide monitoring technology, which reduces the risk of powder combustion during manufacture (MURRAY GOULBURN, 2008). Market Statistics The size of the milk powder market, irrespective of type, i.e. skim and full cream, is estimated at A$30, 33 million, with a volume of 4,596 tonnes. The size of the skim powder milk is estimated at 51% of the overall market of powder milk, which is approximately A$15.45 million, and accordingly, the volume of the skim powder market is approximately 58,1% of the overall market of powder, constituting 2,670 tonnes (2008b). The share of the Devondale skim powder milk constitutes 1.1% in value and 0.9% in volume from the total skim milk powder market in Australia, which is estimated at A$1, 7 million and 240 tonnes respectively (2008b). It can be seen that Devondale is the only business unit manufacturing powder milk in Murray Goulburn, and thus the share of the market is related to Devondale’s only brand of skim powder milk. The volume numbers slightly differently, based on statistics provided by the Murray Goulburn, where it constitutes 250 tonnes, showing a decline of 0.3 %, which continues since 2005 (Murray Goulburn, 2009). The company’s main competitors in the skim powder market are represented through the first position in the market, the Fonterra Company, specifically the Diploma brand, which has a share of 29.9% in value and 19.7% in volume of the skim powder market, which constitutes A $ 4, 62 million and 525 tonnes respectively. The rest of the market, i.e. approximately 69.1% in value and 79.5% in volume belong to private label brands. Business Environ
Purpose The chosen study delves into the effect spirituality might have on the rehabilitation process. For this reason, its main aim is the investigation of practitioners views on the role spirituality plays in the counseling of adults with congenital and acquired disabilities (Pandya, 2017). The author assumes that the given aspect could be crucial for the final results and might help to meet the social goal by improving the state of a person. Importance The choice of the given article is preconditioned by the outstanding topicality of the issue which the author touches upon in the paper. People with congenital and acquired disabilities remain vulnerable and suffer from the significant deterioration of the quality of their lives. For this reason, the investigation of the impact spirituality might have on the rehabilitation process becomes the top priority for researchers as it might help to improve the situation significantly. Method The given study is organized in the form of a survey that is distributed among practitioners who work with disabled people. The author admits the fact that the given data collection method is extremely important for the final result as it helps to use relevant information related to spirituality and its impact on rehabilitation counseling (Pandya, 2017). For this reason, the results of the survey could be used to prove the authors idea and demonstrate the necessity of further investigation of the sphere. Participants The survey was distributed among 1,269 practitioners in the field of disability (Pandya, 2017). The choice of participants was preconditioned by several factors. First, their experience and competencies were taken into account as they are crucial for the relevance of data. Second, respondents from 15 countries were involved to guarantee a comprehensive investigation of the issue. Finally, their significant number preconditioned the improved credibility of results and created the ground for the further investigation of the topic. Findings In the course of the investigation, the author concludes that spirituality should be considered a crucial factor that impacts the rehabilitation process. Results also demonstrate that the majority of practitioners have a positive attitude to spirituality. These facts evidence the great significance of spiritually sensitive approaches and justify their use in practice to assist people with disabilities in their recovery. Discussion The article could be considered an important step in the investigation of the rehabilitation counseling and the impact different factors have on it. The author takes spirituality as one of the tools which could be used to assist patients in their recovery. He explores an unusual perspective on the issue and states that in case the given aspect is considered, people living with disabilities demonstrate better results and are more probable to meet the social goal (Pandya, 2017). However, the study could be improved. For instance, it is possible to introduce two control groups to compare the impact spirituality has on patien
The boy saw himself as “the creature is driven and derided by vanity.” His innocent imagination has taken him to a world of vanity, a world that exists only in his mind. His viewpoint is minimal; he is ignorant and thus innocent. Being secluded, lonely, and imaginative, he does not have the comprehension required to evaluate and create clear perspectives. When he reaches the market place, he realizes that Araby was not what he imagined it to be; he felt aggravated and betrayed by his own thoughts and imagination. The boy went through self-deception; in his mind, he had beautiful and naive dreams of the world that were very different from what is real. The character of the boy is indirectly revealed in the opening set of the short story. He grew in the back-wash of a fading city. Symbolic images depict him to be a person who is intuitive to the fact that the liveliness of his city has faded and left remains of empty spirituality, the weakest echo of romance, and just symbolic reminiscences of a vigorous concern for people and God (James, 90). Even if the young boy can’t comprehend this rationally, he believes that the street is “dead,” the city and Ireland have become dull, self-satisfied, dark, and cold. It is a world of “spiritual stagnation,” which symbolizes how the boy’s perspective is limited; he is uninformed and thus innocent. As one reads the story, it is evident that the boy was infatuated with the love he had for a girl. His thoughts and imaginations are naïve and narrow-minded. He should wake-up from the reality that surrounds him. The street of North Richmond is symbolically described to provide the reader with the world in which the young boy lives. His world is full of dreams and naïve imaginations. The author states that the street is “blind” and that it is a “dead end.” However, the residents are smugly satisfied; the houses depict their attitudes. The “houses are “imperturbable” in the “quiet,” the “cold,” the “dark muddy lanes,” and “dark dripping gardens” (Joyce,10). This symbolizes the boy’s world and how blind he is to the reality of the world. People living in the street, that is, the boy’s uncle and aunt, are at ease and are not threatened by the surroundings; they are, however, falsely religious and inconspicuously but too self-satisfied. The boy experiences spiritual paralysis and stagnation. He does not understand much about the world he lives in; he is caught up in his imaginations and his obsession. For instance, when he believed he loved a girl, he did everything he could for the girl to love him back; he was infatuated with this love and his thought of being in love (Micheal, 74). He has blinded hopes, romantic ideas, and dreams. Love fantasies, sexual desires blind him to the extent that he thinks he lives in a perf
Introduction When thinking about the renaissance, one thinks about the Sistine Chapel ceiling immediately. There is no other way around. The canonic Creation of Adam seems to have become the representation of the era. Thesis statement Though, being inspired by the Biblical narrations and monitored by the church closely, the imagery of the Sistine Chapel ceiling was not only charged with strong Christian morals and values, but also concealed the ideas, in which Michelangelo dared venture into several ambiguous areas and point at some of the most obvious issues in Christianity. History In a retrospect, it is very weird to realize that what was supposed to be the symbol of Christianity and, therefore, the corresponding values, such as humbleness, humility and peacefulness was, in fact, inspired by the attempt of Pope Julius III to enhance the papal power and strengthen the influence of the Church on the civilians. Nevertheless, the fact that one of the most majestic creations of the Renaissance was built for rather dubious reasons and after quite cold calculations is true. However, one must give credit to Julius III for allowing for some sentiment when naming the chapel after his uncle, Pope Sixtus IV (Adams 336). Michelangelo was supposed to carry out massive work, and the creation of the ceiling took quite a while. Being a sculptor and not a painter, Michelangelo was facing a real challenge. Owing to Irving Stone’s novel, The Agony and the Ecstasy, the myth that Michelangelo painted the ceiling while lying on his back became very popular. However, as many sources point out, the reality must have been less dramatic: the artist used scaffold to adjust his position and reach the highest points of the cathedral, as well as hold his head upwards. Despite the exhausting task of creating impeccable drawings while being in a most uncomfortable position, Michelangelo saw the situation as rather humorous and was constantly making fun of it: “I’ve already grown a goiter from this torture, /hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy” (Pinsky lines 1–2). The sketch accompanying the poem shows how exactly the paintings were created: Michelangelo the Poet? Web. Narrative Framework Though the elements of the Sistine Chapel ceiling might seem somewhat unorganized, they, in fact, create a very graphic i
Online voting looked simple during the early days of the Internet establishment. However, bots, worms, increasing threats of terrorism, unauthorized intrusion attempts, and viruses decreased the possibility of an easy solution. Today, scientists, election officials, and security analysts have identified various ideas for solving online voting problems. As a result, debates about the exercise’s credibility have emerged worldwide, with some individuals supporting and others opposing it. Online voting advantages include convenience because it can be done from home, the office, or during vacation. Additionally, voters do not need to walk or drive to the polling station and wait in long queues to cast their ballots. The pros of voting online attract many young people whose numbers have been recorded as minimal over time. The homebound and elderly can easily vote online compared to voting places. The participation of individuals in the local areas might increase due to the flexibility of casting ballots in their comfort. Problems such as ticking more than one aspirant and voter fraud are minimized when people vote through the Internet. This is because the software can ensure that voters revise what they do without ballots’ invalidation or prevent them from choosing multiple candidates. However, disadvantages such as the inability to vote by economically unstable people and outside interference are a primary concern. People’s social classes differ, and some can lack devices connected to the Internet, eliminating their ability to cast votes online. In summary, online voting is convenient and should be used to vote for political leaders such as the President because its advantages outweigh the disadvantages. For example, people can vote from their location without going to voting places with long lines. Everybody, including the youth, elderly, and those living with disabilities, has a right to cast their ballots simplified by voting through the Internet. The software used during voting prohibits malpractices such as choosing multiple aspirants, resulting in fair election results.
Introduction Human rights are the freedoms which all human beings are universally entitled to. Many human right activists assert that each and every human being is entitled to certain rights and freedoms just by the fact that they are humans. A right in its strict sense has the nature of a claim. This means that despite the presence of such elements as power, liberty, or immunity, the element of claim must also be present in the definition of a right. It is important to note that human rights in the contemporary world are universal in some sense (Messer 1993). Thus, they are accepted all over the world at least in word or ideal standards. All states regularly proclaim their acceptance of and adherence to internationally recognized standards of human rights norms, and charges of human rights violations are among the strongest complaints that can be made in any international relation. It is also important to note that more than three quarters of the world’s states have subscribed to international legal obligations to become members of the international human rights covenants. The other nations have expressed some kinds of approval of and commitment to their content (Donnelly 2003). Since human rights are the rights and freedoms that one has simply because they are human, the reasons as to why human beings need rights must be addressed. Questions like what is to be involved when having a right to something and how the rights work are pretty important in this case. There is a close relationship between humans and their rights. Therefore, philosophical foundations of substantive theories of human rights are equally important in defining the rights of an individual. Human rights proponents have come up with strict measures to ensure that states and organizations adhere to the stipulated rules that govern human rights enhancement. There are both large and small human rights watchdogs that check the operations of states and other organizations against any form of human rights violations. The most efficient human rights watchdogs are globalized institutions that operate worldwide. As a matter of fact, these are the mai
Summary The speaker, Lefford Fate, observes there is a large number of mentally ill people in prison. Additionally, he states that three things could be done to help the mentally ill. One of the changes is to adopt Crisis Intervention Team by training law enforcement individuals on how to handle the mentally ill. Crisis intervention trains police to recognize signs and symptoms of mental illness and deescalate the situation to prevent harm. While crisis intervention training reduces harm by 80%, only a small number of people are trained in this (Fate, 2016). The second option to deal with mental illness is to encourage and fund mental health courts, which can ensure the mentally ill persons are transferred to prisons that offer treatment programs in place of incarceration. This will ensure that those who are brought to prison with mental illness move out as useful and productive members of society. The last option is to expand community re-entry programs to treat those who are released from prison with mental illness to help reduce their chances of ending up in prison again. Reaction The video has enlightened my understanding of the prevalence of mental illness in the prison population. I feel that the prisons have become a failure in handling the mentally ill in society because of failing to understand how to help and deal with mental illness to reduce the likelihood of returning to prison for those released. The fact that there are more mentally ill persons in prison than those in society indicates that mental illness is a critical contributor to arrests and criminal acts. After incarceration, the prisons do not offer good conditions to ensure individuals are treated or prepared to get back to society. This explains the poor conditions and death of mental illness patients in prisons. Lack of investment in treating mentally ill prisoners brings more harm than good to society because such individuals have a higher chance of committing a crime again. I believe prisons should be treated as a priority in addressing the needs of mentally ill persons. Reference Fate, L (2016). TEDx Talks. ” Correcting corrections: Why I am in prison” .[Video].

Pre-Viewing Title of the film: Born into Brothels: Calcutta Red Light Kids Date released: January 17, 2004 Producers: Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman I selected this movie due to the controversies that surround it. It involves an American movie maker, Zana Briski, who went to Calcutta with the purpose of covering a story about prostitutes. However, she befriended the prostitutes’ children and made a movie about them. She took the children to school using the proceeds from the film. Many people have reacted differently to this decision. Some people have accused her of taking advantage of the prostitutes and their children to make money, while others have praised her for using art to change people’s lives. This controversy is what made me select Born into Brothels for this analysis. Concepts I Expected to Witness in this Movie  1. The struggles of children who grow up in brothels.  2. Extreme prostitution among women in Calcutta  3. I also anticipated a movie with a happy ending. Viewing This movie is advocacy for social concerns. It addresses an issue that affects contemporary society. Precisely, the film looks at the plight of children whose mothers are prostitutes. The children lack basic needs and assume major roles in their families at very tender ages due to their mothers’ absence. John McDowell fuses music from India and the Western world, making it complement the actions in the film. He carefully chooses the soundtracks that leave a great emotional impact on viewers. Krishna Das and Steve Gorn are very vivid in their bass whispers and bamboo flute, respectively. Briski is the main narrator in the film, and she appropriately describes the intelligence that the children exhibit while handling their cameras. She explains how the children’s faces promise great things ahead and use vivid descriptions to clarify every part of the film. Interviews are very dominant in the movie. The most dominant interviews involve the kids narrating their story. Therefore, the audience has the privilege of getting first-hand information regarding the attitudes of those kids towards their lives and their mothers’ jobs. The children initially seem contented with their lives, but later, their attitudes change, and they become optimistic towards changing their lifestyles. The shakiness of the film reveals that Briski shot the film with a camera on her shoulder. This style of shooting makes viewers imagine the situation at the brothels. Viewers get the real feeling of life in a brothel. Her decision to use natural light and the inclusion of all the noise in the background further reinforces this feeling. Furthermore, she does not sharpen the images; she opts to leave them the way she shot them to depict the gravity the occurrences at the brothel. The poor l
The maritime trade has continued to play a major role in the economic development of countries around the world. The blue economy is growing and international trade among countries still depends on maritime development. Globalization has had a major socio-economic impact on the West African Maritime trade. The primary goal of this study was to assess the historical development of maritime trade in West Africa, specifically focusing on Lagos as a West African hub. The city was chosen because it is the largest economic hub in West Africa. The strategic location of Lagos, as a port city, also makes it appropriate as a hub for maritime trade. The study relied on both primary and secondary data to answer research questions. Findings made show that despite the changes in resources and the massive technological changes over decades, the mono-cultural economy still subsists in the region. Nigeria’s domestic socio-economic policy directly affects maritime trade. For instance, Nigeria still relies heavily on the exportation of oil to the west to support its economy (Siebels, 2019). The exportation of oil to the international market is affected by maritime trade policies. The study shows that the international community plays a critical role in the success or otherwise of maritime trade. International policies on the free flow of goods, especially in the Gulf of Guinea, define the growth of maritime trade in the region. Port congestion and air quality have also negatively impacted port operations in the region. The report shows that maritime trade will continue to play a critical role in the region’s socio-economic development. As such, individual governments must act as a unit to address the existing challenges. Reference List Siebels, D. (2019) Maritime security in East and West Africa: a tale of two regions .
