Tix4U.com is an online ticketing company that operates in America and majorly sells online tickets for shows, community theatres, and production companies. The main objective of online ticketing is to save time spent while clearing the entrance requirements at the gate as well as enhancing security in social places. Purchasing tickets for such social functions can normally prove time-consuming when there are large turn-ups, the sheer number of people to be served would overwhelm the attendants and this would see the revelers spend more time in queues waiting for those who showed up earlier to get served with the tickets. Besides, the fact that cash would be collected at the gate exposes event organizers to robbers. These are the problems that the company seeks to redress. Being a small company, Randy the chief executive officer would think of expanding the firm to reach several sporting activities in the United States. Randy should therefore begin applying for tenders to sell the tickets for matches. The company largely depends on the sale of tickets. The more tickets it sells the more revenue comes in. The selling of tickets can be increased if the marketing officer who in this case is Randy improves the visibility of the firm. Therefore looking for tenders to sell the tickets for most of these events should be a preliminary step that Randy should take. The other step involves lots of advertising; this company requires as much visibility as the media can offer. Randy must therefore advertise his company in the best way he can. Being an online company it would be better if he was to advertise his company on the internet. It would be prudent for Randy to make effective use of opportunities provided by social sites. These sites offer a one on one interaction with users and would widen the market for Randy’s venture. Vision To be a leading online ticket selling company through quality assurance and provision of proper safety procedures of online payment. Mission Offer reliability to our clients while cutting down the costs related to time in the process of accessing social events.   * Long term strategic goal;       + To be the online ticketing company of choice worldwide and to assure clients their
Digital crimes represent felonies carried out with the help of computers and other technologically advanced gadgets. Such criminal activities encompass identity theft, hacking, malicious coding, online scam, espionage, software piracy, and white-collar crimes. Digital crimes in numerous occurrences entail contemplated application of major disruptive attacks on computer systems as well as terrorism. Numerous theories have been devised to elucidate why people engage in digital crimes. The differential association theory, the social learning theory, and the choice theory are some of the theories that researchers use to shed light on the causes of digital crime. The social learning theory is anchored on the notion that people develop skills and motivation to engage in criminal activities through interrelations with or exposure to criminals (that is, being influenced by deviant peers). The theory affirms that exposure to crooked behavior offers people the impetus to engage in crime (Miller & Morris, 2016). For instance, digital crimes such as online scams and software piracy are initially learned via imitation, which happens when a person learns the activities and conducts through watching and paying attention. Online scams and software piracy demand a certain scale of skills and expertise. In this regard, digital criminals foster networks that connect and teach others the required proficiencies. Moreover, the people being influenced have a high likelihood of engaging in online scam or software piracy the moment they find that the people engaging in it are succeeding. The choice theory has been used to explain the causes of digital crime with its concept stating that every person takes part in criminal activity after making a rational selection to undertake it. Such a person first deliberates on the benefits and risks of engaging in such behaviors and only does so if the gains surpass the dangers (Paternoster, Bachman, Bushway, Kerrison, & O’Connell, 2015). An instance of the choice theory is a person practicing identity theft through stealing the personal details of other people online. If by improbable likelihood, an individual were to obtain the personal information of another accidentally, it is his/her choice to either discard it, alert local authorities, inform the owner, or take it and generate a fake identity with the aim of impersonating the owner and stealing from him. A wide pool of studies finds the explanation of this theory appealing because every individual is answerable for their actions, and nobody can be compelled to practice crime against their will. The differential association theory was formulated to justify the reasons that influence people to take up deviant behaviors. In line with the theory, a person’s environment sways him/her to learn suitable behaviors to endure in the surrounding. Crime mainly happens in societies where individuals within a particular reference group or organization show norms of deviance or compliance. This influences people’s views on the surroundings and happenings around them, in addition to their responses
A highly prolific and versatile artist, Hughes was widely regarded as the poet of his people. He took the world for his audience but the lives of ordinary black people for his principal subject. Langston Hughes was fiercely proud of his black heritage–and utterly convinced that African Americans as African Americans, not honorary whites, would find a place of dignity in American society. He loved jazz, he loved ragtime, he loved blues, he loved the call and response rhythms of the black church, he loved all things particular to how black Americans had sustained themselves during their time in the United States. The music of his poetry was the sound of Lenox Avenue, Seventh Street, and South State Street; and his language has been appropriately called Harlemese: vibrant, rhythmic, direct, and racy. I read all of the poems and found Hughes to be passionate and wise. No disrespect when getting his point across. I was not confused nor did I need to look at a dictionary to decipher or understand the point or theme of the poems. I liked the frankness without the rudeness of Hughes’ work. I really had nothing to dislike about Hughes’ work or his messages stated within each poem. Hughes is a thoughtful and passionate writer. In “The Weary Blues” Hughes introduced to jazz and blues into poetry and, in its sympathetic portraits of street people and the working class, reveal an exquisite sense of the ironic and melodramatic nature of the black American experience. (Hughes 33) In the poem “My People” Hughes tells us how the Negro feels and what he wants. The theme of this poem is pride: pride in color, pride in African heritage, and pride, as he puts it, in my people. (Hughes 33) In “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” Hughes eloquently expressed deep admiration for the race, rich in expression and moving in its message. In “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” Hughes emphasized the dignity and sensitivity of the Negro, a theme he was to use throughout his career. This poem reminds us that for all its unpleasantness there is no shame in being a Negro in America. On the other hand, there is every reason for pride in the dignity and laughter of the Negro people. (Hughes 4) In “Harlem” also known as “A Dream Deferred” the dominant image or idea became the dream deferred. Isolated vignettes of Harlem life, discrete and sometimes clashing fragments of the culture were unified thematically by the notion of the dream denied; and unified technically, in Hughes’s art, by a centripetal appeal to the rhythms of the new, “be-bop” jazz. The poem asks but answers in the form of other questions. Here the technique is posing rhetorical riddles. The final implication of Harlem’s physical and spiritual geography as the site of the dream deferred is revealed with a new formulation about rivers. “Theme for English B,” is one of the principal achievements by Hughes that concern an essay offered by a student to his instructor in fulfillment of the assignment to write: “a page tonight / And let that page come out of you—.” (Hughes 247). The truth is that issues from this young,
“Winter in Canada” is one of the few phrases that make even inveterate tourists cringe. Indeed, even in its warmest seasons, Canada is definitely far from being the hottest spot on Earth. However, there is an exception to every rule, and the City of Prince George is the Canadian one. Perhaps, the only spot in Canada with truly mild winters, this place strikes with its beauty when the rest of the world remains freezing cold. The scenery is truly gorgeous. Even the elements of the urban life sit well with the amazing views of trees covered in snow. Whenever crossing the line between the urban area and the one where the wilderness takes its toll on the landscape, one cannot help but gasp in awe. However, the stellar beauty of the landscape is not the only notable feature of the Prince George climate. The humidity rates are unnaturally high here, which makes the climate much milder than in other parts of the state. The given detail is rather important for defining the specifics of the local climate, since it points at relatively high humidity rates and the following precipitations. The given fact, however, does not cancel severe and lavish snowfalls, which Canada is so famous for. The fact that the natural physics of the Prince George city is defined by unusually high humidity rates has been taken into account by the local residents for its further efficient use for the benefit of the community. For example, the minor precipitation, such as occasional snow, which comes in far lesser quantities than in the rest of the state, predisposes creation of the so-called snow operations. Designed to make neighborhoods cleaner, the given activ
Introduction Autism is a health disorder which has gained much publicity in healthcare. Autism affects the neural development of a person. It is characterized by weakened communication, increases recurring behavior and undermines social interaction. Autism primarily affects the flow of information processing in the brain (Heidgerken et al., 2005). It achieves this by altering the nervous system and their synapses; however, how the process occurs has never been understood. Autism: Present Perspective According to Hassiotis & Barron, (2007) autism is a severe problem affecting the world population at present. Many authors testify that autism affects a person’s ability to grasp what is heard, seen and touched. These fix a significant challenge to individual behavior and in the ability to craft relationship, relate and communicate with others (Heidgerken et al., 2005). Similarly, a person with autism has to be trained on the process of communicating normally and forming a relationship with objects, events and people in their lives. Prevalence of autism in individuals varies. This is because it encompasses symptoms which range from mild symptoms to severe. These symptoms are unique to each person. According to Dade (2010), autism occurs in one out of every one thousandth children. Similarly, the condition occurs four times in boys than in girls. Dade draws that autism does not distinguish or discriminate, but it affects different age groups, race, and people with varied social backgrounds (2010). Roberts et al (2011) points out that whilst an individual can show signs of autism, ranging from mild to severe, it is noted that ten percent of individuals have a surprising ability when measured on a nine- multiple intelligences scale such as; music, mathematics, art or memory. Affected Population Autism is a healthcare issue which can affect all people across different social backgrounds. However, according to Roberts et al (2011), children are the most affected group. Roberts et al explains the condition is prevalent among children who have attained three years of life (2011). He adds that the condition can be suppressed in children for a while after being diagnosed; however, the condition becomes obvious and visible when a child joins school (Roberts et al., 2011). History of Autism According to Wing (1997), autistic disorder, symptoms and treatment was first noted prior to the discovery of autism. Wing (1997) illustrates the Table Talk, brought forward by Martin Luther and compiled by Mathesius. This is a story of a twelve year old boy who was severely autistic (Wing, 1997). In his assertions, Luther believed the boy was a soulless flesh and controlled by the devil. However, psychology has challenged this claim (Wing, 1997). Similarly, the Wild Boy of Aveyron, a feral child caught in 1798, showed many symptoms of autism. The boy was treated by Jean Itard, a medical student. Jean treated the boy with behavioral program intended to assist him develop social attachments and stimulate speech by imitation (Wolff, 2004). In 1910, Eugen Bleuler, a Swiss psychiatrist, introduced the term Autism. Eugen was illustrating the symptoms associat
Various departments of a firm such as the human resource, marketing, IT, finance and even the inventory stores often require outsourcing. Outsourcing is a procedure that involves quest of external expertise on various business functions. The main aim of outsourcing is the need to enhance business operations for maximal profit gain. The functions of the outsourced company have to be diligent and efficient for consistency. Good outsourcing involves partial hiring of specialized companies that are able to boldly base decisions against all odds with the aim of curtailing on unnecessary costs. The specialist work as casual or part-time enterprises and ensure delivery of business functions in a timely manner besides ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty. There is need to engage proper and strategic business plans as a way of maintaining focus on the core business goals. In most instances, businesses outsource those tasks that are technical and are not fundamental to overall management but important and supportive units of the business such as IT departments. Most firms managers prefer to stick to the key business responsibilities and outsource all the other tasks. It is equally common to subcontract a failing sector or department, with the aim of gaining improvement. Some of the main reasons for outsourcing include the need to reduce running cost of subsidiary departments and focus attention to the key areas of the firm. There are many cons associated with outsourcing including, staffing proceeds. It is logical for a company to cater for four employees at a technical department such as IT, and outsource specialization, other than engage many personnel and soon engage extra social or economic responsibilities of laying-off due to non-performances. One huge challenge regards the risk involving reduction of managerial control over the outsourced sector. There is also need to analyse performance in relation to the outsourcing expenses. Analysing the proposals presented by outsourcing firms, managers are able to find the best yet economical offers. Managers have a wider view of company’s pricing advantage due to availability. Majority of the challenges associated with outsourcing are not enough reason to avoid the practice. Clients or customers want to gain access to specialized skills for better and timely product or service delivery. Other good reasons include but are not limited to better business transactions or processes, flexibility on staff allocation, better workflow, busines
Over the past 2 decades, the emotional labor literature has intrinsically dealt with how employees, particularly service workers, adopt emotion regulation tactics during service encounters, with the view to exhibit feelings and emotions that are in compliance with organizational objectives and expectations for emotional display (Judge et al, 2009; Groth et al, 2009). These self-regulatory processes on the part of employees have been found to profoundly influence the creation and sustenance of a brand, particularly in service settings (Brook, 2009). This section aims to identify, describe and analyze the emotional labor that goes into the creation and sustenance of the Guess brand. In their mission statement, GUESS, the makers of GUESS handbags, states that they “…deliver products and services of uncompromising quality and integrity and consistent with [their] brand and image” (GUESS, n.d., para. 2). In the context of this paper, this statement implies that the handbags are not only of high quality and integrity but are sold under the brand ‘GUESS’, which is committed to listening and responding to the needs of their customers, improving their lifestyles through a milieu of open communication, trust and respect, and honoring their individual values (GUESS, n.d.). Emotional labor literature has primarily focused on two dimensions, namely “…deep acting (attempting to modify felt emotions so that a genuine emotional display follows) and surface acting (faking or amplifying emotions by displaying emotions not actually felt)” (Groth et al, 2009, p. 958). These dimensions, as noted by the authors, represent two main approaches used by workers to comply with the demands and expectations of emotional display as set out by an organization in its mission statement, policy guidelines, objectives, and in other rules of compliance to emotional display. In deep acting, which is believed to have been used by employees of GUESS to crea
Charles Augustus Lindbergh is an American pilot, has made the first non-single transatlantic flight. He was born in Feb. 4, 1902 in Detroit. He received primary education in the Little Falls (Minnesota pieces), in 1920-1922 he studied at the University of Wisconsin, where the passion for aviation. In 1924 the school became a cadet in the U.S. Air Reserve, Brooks Field, then a pilot and military postal service. To take part in the struggle for the prize of 25 000 dollars designated for the first successful transatlantic flight, Lindbergh took a loan to build a special monoplane. Designed by J. Hall plane “Spirit of St. Louis” was built at the company “Ryan” in San Diego. In May 10, 1927 Lindbergh flew it from San Diego to New York with an intermediate landing in St. Louis; total flight time was 21 hours 45 minutes – it was a record of transcontinental flight. In May 20, Lindbergh Field flight starts with the Roosevelt Field in New York State, and after 33 hour and 30 minutes landed at Le Bourget airport near Paris. Flight has made the world a stir: “Lindy” became a national hero and made many trips to various countries in the world. In May 1929 Lindbergh married Anne Morrow, daughter of U.S. Ambassador in Mexico. With his flight Lindbergh changed the world. It seems that Earth once became smaller. However, the pilot did not suspect that his act will change their lives. Since that evening, he became the object of veneration and game. He was the first hero of the new era. Why did he have this fate? Lindbergh was handsome, his character was perfect, he suited to the role of hero (Berg, 1999) . Not so long ago with the help of radio, telephone and telegraph made it possible to distribute news for a few seconds. Cinema stood on the threshold of an era of sound. For the first time the whole world has been in touch a great event. But Lindberg, whose flight across the Atlantic has established a new degree of freedom of movement, he will never be able to move freely – for him everywhere to follow the crowd. As a second pilot and navigator, along with her husband, she has mastered many transoceanic air routes. In parallel, Lindberg worked as technical consultant on two airlines: “Transcontinental end Western Air Transport” and “Pan American”. In March 1932 a terrible tragedy has occurred: was kidnapped and later killed two-year son Lindberg. The desire to get rid of the obtrusive media attention has forced them to move to Europe. In 1936 at the invitation of Field Marshal Goering Lindberg visited the German aviation centers. While visiting Germany in 1938 the German government submitted him to the medal. This fact, as well as public appeals Lindberg to the neutrality of the United States, which he made in 1940 on his return to America, has drawn sharp criticism from President F. Roosevelt. This forced Lindberg waive rank of Colonel U.S. Air Force (Berg, 1999) . However, wh
Introduction Vegetarianism, with its pluses and minuses, is the most widespread alternative to the traditional food system. Millions of people in the world consider themselves vegetarians and make a choice in favor of products of vegetable origin, as well as certain components of the animal kingdom such as eggs, milk, etc. In this regard, one should not confuse vegetarianism with veganism; the first concept implies the rejection of meat and most animal organisms, while vegans do not eat absolutely any animal products and prefer exclusively plant foods. Vegetarianism is widespread, and it is required to not only consider its features but also to determine whether such a diet has benefits and disadvantages. The analysis of the effectiveness of such a nutritional principle for the body can confirm, or, on the contrary, refute the theory about the advantages of vegetarianism and its beneficial effect on body functions. Peculiarities of Vegetarian Diets Almost all diets that are based on the principles of vegetarianism have similar rules of nutrition. Thus, for example, different products of animal origin are replaced by vegetable ones in the form of legumes, cabbage, nuts, etc. The liquid is used in sufficient quantity since the danger of dehydration can emerge; in this case, at least two liters of water should be consumed daily (Nordqvist, 2017). Any sweet foods are usually excluded from the diet as they contain various impurities and oils, which are considered unacceptable in vegetarianism. As Wells (2015) remarks, the replacement of flour confectionery products is usually made up of dried fruits. On the whole, according to Wells (2015), virtually any vegetarian diet provides meals in the standard model, that is, four to five times a day, and does not imply any starvation as some people suppose. Reasons for Refusing Meat The roots of the so-called ideological vegetarianism, which implies the refusal to consume meat for moral reasons, lie in the matters of ecology or animal protection. The idea of ​​stopping eating meat is also often received by people who have some health problems and are forced to abandon animal protein for practical reasons. Also, a vegetarian diet is typical for a number of Eastern religions, including world beliefs, and all their new adherents, even those living on the other side of the world, prefer to consume such food. Based on a variety of reasons, it is necessary to consider the merits and demerits of such a princ
