...that have been drawn up. Also, I have been asked to recommend which two projects would be most suitable for Ludsby New Town to be provided out of their budget. The information in this report was taken from course notes and statistics from their Planning Officer. This report has to be completed by 18 September 2013. Findings 1. Background A new town, Ludsby, is to be built to absorb the overspill population from existing major cities. The new town development corporaton has been set up a Leisure and Recreation Committee, which has been given a budget, and is prepared to pay for only two new leisure facilities in the new town.

Present Population Information forLudsby Development Corporation shows that the new town will consist of maily young couples, some of them with small children.

...Luke Singer Megan Peters English 111 10/7/12 You’re My God Damn Hero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-XWhH2VSXk There may not be a better ending to a movie that has been released in the last ten years. The ending of Taking of Pelham 123 includes a face-off between good and bad, with guns drawn, and both men up against a wall, creating a dramatic and suspenseful ending to a fantastic movie. As if the film did not have enough action in it, the last scene alone can provide enough white knuckles in the audience to fulfill any demands from the public audience. However, before anyone thinks that this sort of ending just “happens” without a lot of thought and attention to detail, think again. The director, Tony Scott, created the perfect concoction in the last scene to produce something that was unforgettable and that left the audience with a good taste in their mouth as they finished the movie. Through years of directing, this may come more easily to Scott, but the untrained eye would have no idea where to start if they were to put together this last scene. Many factors are working together here that need to be broken down to experience the full effects of what is going on. The multiple forms of rhetoric, with addition to other factors such as camera angles, target audience, and word choice, built a scene that can be analyzed from the inside out. The use of rhetoric here is different than how it may be used in a commercial. Instead of persuading someone to purchase...

...JAPAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 123 Aviation accident is defined by events associated with an aircraft that has the risk of affecting the safety of operations which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as the passengers have disembarked, in which a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure or the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. An accident in which the damage to the aircraft is such that it must be written off, or in which the plane is destroyed is called a hull loss accident. Over the years, there are many aircraft accidents but there are a few major accidents such as the September 11 crash at the World Trade Center in New York in 2001, the Tenerife airport disaster in 1977 which is recorded as the highest death toll, the Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 and others. Until today, the Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 is the single-aircraft disaster with the highest number of fatalities. In this crash, all 15 crew members, 505 out of 509 passengers died and resulting in a total of 520 deaths on board a Boeing 747. The aircraft suffered an explosive decompression from an incorrectly repaired doubler plates causing the aft pressure bulkhead to fail, which failed in mid flight and destroyed most of its vertical stabilizer, and severed all of the hydraulic lines, making the 747 paralyzed and uncontrollable. The pilots were able to keep the plane flying...

...achieve success initially due to many initiatives set up to promote aeronautic research by the government. Of particular importance is the subsidies received by Embraer, which helped it to achieve the majority market share in the commuter turboprop market with its ‘Bandeirante’ aircraft. The subsidies were believed to be in the region of 39-44% as claimed by their competitor Fairchild, which undoubtedly played a huge role in their early success. However, Embraer began to falter when a series of negative events began to hurt its profits when budgetary pressures as a result of macroeconomic difficulty in Brazil meant that they could no longer depend on subsidies to help boost sales. In addition, their political ties led to the development of CBA 123, which ultimately turned out to be a huge failure. To help examine Embraer’s post-privatisation success, we can use an adapted version of ‘The Four-Tiered Structure of Markets’ found in Khanna & Palepu (2006). In this adapted version of the regional aircraft manufacturing industry (Apendix 1), there are only three tiers namely Global, Glocal and Local. In the early stages of Embraer’s operations, they were arguably operating in the Local tier of the industry. As a state-owned initiative, their primary purpose was to serve the local Brazilian market. Around 1981, Embraer began moving up into the Glocal Tier as it set up a subsidiary to focus on its exports to the U.S. as Embraer became the market leader in the...

We have explored the above subject keeping in mind that the important variables while dealing with organisation structure are – formalization (rules, routines), centralization (hierarchy, use of authority, verticality), control systems (span of control), coupling and structural embeddedness and specialization (role clarity).

Loo a,⁎, Namrata Raylu a,b, Tian Po S. Oei a a b School of Psychology, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, Australia Drug, Alcohol, and Gambling Service, Hornsby Hospital, Hornsby, NSW 2077, Australia a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Despite being a significant issue, there has been a lack of systematic reviews on gambling and problem gambling (PG) among the Chinese. Thus, this paper attempts to fill this theoretical gap. A literature search of social sciences databases (from 1840 to now) yielded 25 articles with a total sample of 12,848 Chinese community participants and 3397 clinical participants. The major findings were: (1) Social gambling is widespread among Chinese communities as it is a preferred form of entertainment. (2) Prevalence estimates for PG have increased over the years and currently ranged from 2.5% to 4.0%. (3) Chinese problem gamblers consistently have difficulty admitting their issue and seeking professional help for fear of losing respect. (4) Theories, assessments, and interventions developed in the West are currently used to explain and treat PG among the Chinese. There is an urgent need for theory-based interventions specifically tailored for Chinese problem gamblers. (5) Cultural differences exist in patterns of gambling when compared...

...This is an excerpt from Results That Last. The booklet you’re reading is what’s known in the publishing industry as a “blad.” Basically, it’s an excerpt of a book’s content, often created to give the reader a sampling of what the real book is like. Please give it a quick read…we think you’ll enjoy its content and will want to learn more. Results That Last explains in clear, simple terms how to create and sustain quality leadership inside an organization. Once you “hardwire” the book’s proven tactics into your company, the dramatic gains will be sustained over time, even as individual leaders come and go. Not only does Quint Studer tell you how to hardwire these behaviors—and make the task seem remarkably “doable”—he explains how you’ll know when you’ve reached this goal. Besides the book’s introduction, this blad includes sections on managing up and reducing leadership variance. Other subjects covered in the complete book include selecting and retaining talent, rounding for outcomes, improving quality, efficiency, and service, and increasing market share, just to name a few. Action steps make the tactics easy to implement, and colorful examples bring them to life. While the ideas in this book have been proven and refined in health care organizations, they also have been field tested in numerous nonhealth care industries. If you find the information in this blad interesting and valuable, please feel free to purchase copies of the book for yourself and your leaders. When you start...
