...1) Online auctions: We believe it’s high time that we embrace the technology and make a transition to internet auctions. Develop an online platform through which growers can sell their products and buyers can purchase them. Both of them will be charged a 0.1 % of transaction amount. This will not only bring in additional revenue but also make the whole process of buying and selling a lot easier. These are the financials involved. We estimate that online portal will cost us around $3 million. With the revenue that we will generate from it, cost of portal will be covered in 341 days. 2) Service Customization As per the recent trend, many clients don’t want full range of auction services. Hence sometimes they bypass auctions and directly contact growers. Taking this into account, we have decided to offer clients what they want. Auctioneers will offer services in the form of bundles. Clients can customize their bundles as per their needs. 3. Situational Analysis 3.1. SWOT Analysis Strengths: * Rich heritage ( Considered America’s original motorcycle company) * Strong brand equity because of snowmobiles and off-road vehicles * Strong supply chain and distribution channel of parent company (Polaris): Polaris' marketing activities are designed to promote and communicate directly with consumers as well as to assist the selling and marketing efforts of its dealers and distributors.

...A Brief History of Indian Motorcycle America's love for the motorcycle began in 1900 with bicycle racer George M. Hendee and engineering wizard Carl Oscar Hedstrom. In 1901, the partners unveiled their first creation, the 1901 Single. The trade name chosen for their innovative machine would signify "a wholly American product in pioneering tradition". The name was Indian. 1910-1919 By 1911, Indian riders hold every American speed and distance record. In 1914, over 3,000 employees work on a 7-mile long assembly line in Indian's 1-million square foot Springfield, Massachusetts plant. Racing activities are suspended in 1916 as the company supplies the war effort with 41,000 machines. 1920-1929 In 1923 the company is renamed Indian Motocycle Company, dropping the "r" in "motorcycle". It's a decade of growth for the Indian model line, starting with the revolutionary 1920 Scout and followed by the 95-mph Chief, the even more powerful Big Chief, the lightweight Prince, the awesome 4-cylinder Four. The 1928 101 Scout becomes the machine of choice for "wall of death" stunt riders. 1930-1939 The Art Deco era hits the Indians adorned in a full range of Duco colors, two-tone designs, pinstriping, and decals. Two new lightweight models debut in 1932, the Motoplane and the Pony Scout. "Iron Man" Ed Kretz, aboard a Sport Scout, laps the entire field in his win at the 1937 inaugural Daytona 200. With the onset of World War II in 1939, the focus again shifts to providing the...

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability initiated on April 14, 2013 by the federal government, establishes all relevant standards to address the issue of privacy protection. The HIPAA requires for integrity and confidentiality in all of current, previous and future from hospitals, doctors, and other relevant professionals. In an era where digital technology has become of major importance, there is a series of medical images that can now be kept in digital format and become quite easy to retrieve, store and preserve. Watermarking – An Essential Aspect for the Protection of Medical Images A. Ethical reasons and relevant legislation define Medical Information Assurance & Watermarking Medical directions. USA's HIPAA and Europe's EC 95/46 Directive are the major legislations defining relevant directions. When dealing with medical information records, thus, which involve a series of clinical examinations, diagnoses, and EPR images, three major security attributes should be considered: • Confidentiality: only authorised users can view and evaluate medical information; • Availability: Scheduled accessing periods should be set when entering the information system containing the medical data; • Reliability: The information should be examined by authorised people and not changed by unauthorised...

...Jennifer Boice Charles Dold ENG-0900-83053 30 October, 2010 Work/Career Essay-Radiologists Salaries Radiology is a field of medicine that uses medical imaging techniques to assess patient conditions and administer treatment. To become a radiologist, one must complete a great deal of schooling, but the job rewards, both personal and financial, may be well worth it. Radiology techs are not only high in demand in most communities, but also highly paid relative to other allied health professionals. As with any job, there are many variables that will determine how much money people can expect to see not only at the start of their job, but throughout their entire career. The amount of schooling, experience, and location are the three main variables that will determine annual salaries. The amount of schooling is one of the important variables needed to raise ones yearly salary. This includes whether or not graduates received their education from an accredited school, along with what kind of degree or certification earned. Most radiologists will need the standard four years of undergraduate study, followed by medical school and residency. In most cases, radiologists must be board certified, which means taking and passing an exam to earn approval to practice from the American Board of Radiology or other governing bodies. Not only does schooling have an affect on ones salary, experience does as well. The experience a student has is the second important variable....

...Ovarian Cancer Ovarian cancer is one of the most under-detected types of cancers in existence because many of the symptoms are not noticeable until the later stages of the disease. These symptoms typically follow a pattern that helps determine whether or not a woman has ovarian cancer. The symptoms are “frequent bloating, pain in your belly or pelvis, trouble eating, or feeling full quickly, urinary problems, such as an urgent need to urinate or urinating more often than usual, fatigue, indigestion, pain with intercourse, constipation, and menstrual cycle changes.” For women who have ovarian cancer, the symptoms follow three common attributes: “they start suddenly, they feel different than your normal digestive or menstrual problems, and they happen almost every day and don’t go away.” However, another problem with the symptoms of ovarian cancer is that there are some women that just naturally have them, and that makes it very difficult to determine whether or not they have cancer (http://www.webmd.com/ovarian-cancer/guide/ovarian-cancer-symptoms - Symptoms). The risk factors that are associated with ovarian cancer are not absolute. However, like in any type of disease or infection, the more risk factors that a person has, the more likely they are to become disease-ridden. The risk factors of ovarian cancer can be very complex, but simplify as a person gets older. One factor is gene mutations within families. Most of the mutations come from families that have a prominent number...

...Schizophrenia is one of the most common serious and scary psychiatric illnesses in the United States. It’s a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that has affected people throughout history. Approximately 1% of all Americans suffer from this illness, but it occurs in 10% of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder. A person with schizophrenia hears voices that no one else around them hears. They believe that people around them are constantly plotting to harm them. They act really agitated. Schizophrenia not only affects the person but it also affects their friends and family. The symptoms of schizophrenia fall into three general categories: positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms are psychotic behaviors. Some of the positive symptoms of n,Disorders. Negative symptoms are related with interruptions to normal emotions and behaviors. Negative symptoms are often confused for Depression. Some of the negative symptoms are: Little or no interaction, Lack of beginning or completing a planned activity, & Flat affect which is when their face doesn’t move or they speak in a monotonous voice. Cognitive symptoms are more restrained. These symptoms are harder to recognize. They are often detected during more intense tests. Some Cognitive symptoms are: Having a hard time understanding information and using it to make decisions, hard time focusing or paying attention, and having a hard time using information immediately...

...The Ravishing Outlook and Features of the New iPad The new iPad was released on the 16th of March this year. It was announced in the beginning of the month and unlike other apple products, the iPad 3 or the new iPad, as it is dubbed, did not come with as much anticipation. Display As expected, the new iPad keeps the same screen size as its predecessors, sporting a 9.7 inch screen with 1536 x 2048 pixels, a pixel density of almost 264 pixels per inch. While this is lower than the pixel density of the iPhone 4S, which boasts 330 ppi, it is still pretty impressive for a tablet. In contrast, the iPad’s closest rival, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 only has a pixel density of 149 ppi. This represents a massive upgrade from the 132 ppi pixel density on the old iPad which had 768 x 1024 pixels on the 9.7 inch screen. Steve Jobs famously claimed that you would need to file your fingers if you are to use a 7 inch tablet comfortably, which indicates that the iPad will continue making 9.7 inch iPads. Storage The iPad 3 is manufactured and accessible with three variable inbuilt storage capacities, that is of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. The iPad 3 also supports a memory card of up to 64 GB, which means that you can have a maximum memory of 128GB on your iPad, more than what is available on any tablet so far. Software and Processing The iPad 3 is going to come boxed with the iOS 5.1 but can be upgraded to iOS 6.0 by the users. It boasts a 1GHz dual core processor along with a PowerVR SGX543MP4...

...Solution to Musculoskeletal Injuries in Sonography Sonography, as a profession, is often enticing. When most individuals think of sonography, the thought that comes to mind is a sonogram with the pictures of a baby in gestation within a mother’s womb. Though this can be an interesting and rewarding career choice, this profession, as in most, can have its drawbacks. Many sonographers are at risk of suffering from musculoskeletal injuries and a significant amount are already experiencing injuries, especially those with considerable workloads and ones who have been in the profession for a large amount of time. In order to make sonography a safer profession, the work environment of sonographers must be redesigned with better ergonomics in mind. Having a safer ergonomic design must play an essential part of equipment design, along with changes to the layout of the work setting. Musculoskeletal Disorder also known as work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD) can include a number of symptoms ranging from swelling and inflammation of the muscles, spasms, tingling or burning sensations, to the loss of sensation completely (Coffin, 2014). In certain cases, a loss of muscle strength can occur. While this disorder is accumulative, the symptoms considered to be small can evolve to become more critical and also debilitating. Among North American sonographers in 1997, the occurrences of musculoskeletal injury were 84% and increased to 90% in 2008 (Coffin, 2014). According to the...

...Intervention | A modern fluoroscope | ICD-10-PCS | B?1 | MeSH | D005471 | A barium swallow exam taken via fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an X-ray source and fluorescent screen between which a patient is placed. However, modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera allowing the images to be recorded and played on a monitor. The use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, requires the potential risks from a procedure to be carefully balanced with the benefits of the procedure to the patient. While physicians always try to use low dose rates during fluoroscopic procedures, the length of a typical procedure often results in a relatively high absorbed dose to the patient. Recent advances include the digitization of the images captured and flat panel detector systems; modern advances allow further reduction of the radiation dose to the patient.

...Captial Capital Purchase Justification Yvonne Brown-Ramirez Grand Canyon University April 27,2016 The equipment that I recommend is the CAT scan because I think it will help the hospital more than the MRI machines since it will help examine the whole body instead of just one certain part of the body.CAT scans are very useful because it helps us figure out the cause of why the patient is sick and it takes pictures that are more detailed than the MRI. Computed tomography (CT) is an imaging procedure that uses special x-rays equipment to create detailed pictures or scans areas of the body. When using this type of machine, it helps take continuous pictures in a spiral fashion instead of taking a series of pictures as the MRI does, I do not know much about MRI or CAT SCANS but I think CAT SCANS are better and will help determine the cause of cancer or any type of sickness the patient may have. I think the CAT SCAN equipment would be useful and beneficial to the hospital because it will help reduce the amount of radiation that is used during the test and it will use less radiation for the older equipment. The hospitals want to be equipped with the most up to date equipment to make sure that it will last for as long as five to ten years at the most because they do not want to spend excess money they may not have to purchase the CAT SCAN equipment. According to Modern Healthcare, “The average price of computed tomography systems went up 15% in the past month as more...

...different machines to view different aspects of the human anatomy, it is impossible to recommend what scan a person should have without taking into consideration the illness/injury and history of the patient. Without doubt a PET scan should be avoided as much as possible as the radiation the patient is confronted with is equivalent to 8 years of everyday living and substantially larger than other methods of imaging however, the advantage of a PET scan is its ability to show how parts of the body are functioning and detect problems much earlier (NSP Medicine Wise, 2010). Whilst this may be seen as a great advantage, the PET scan is far more dangerous to the human body than any other method of imaging as the gamma rays penetrate structural components of cells and break DNA of biological molecules with the potential to cause mutations and cancer (K. Henderickson, 2014). CT scans can only image half the aspects of the human anatomy as the PET scan yet only project three...
