...OASIS Airlines Introduction Founded by Priscilla and Raymond Lee and headed by chief executive officer Stephen Miller, Oasis Hong Kong Airlines was perhaps the world's first long-haul, low-cost carrier. The airline received approval to fly to London, Cologne, Berlin, Milan, Oakland and Chicago in November 2005. It announced its acquisition of two Boeing 747-400s in March 2006 and planned to start its maiden service to London Gatwick in October 2006. Aspiring to bring the best features of both traditional and budget airlines together, the airline pioneered a business model that offered a world-class, long-haul product at an affordable price, but it was too early to tell if the airline would be successful. Summary of key learning points and strategic issues 1. To allow for a discussion of what a business model is about and what one should look for when assessing a business model. 2. To reinforce the understanding about business models through analyzing and assessing the business model of a start-up airline and gauging its sustainability. 3. The importance of a sustainable competitive advantage in an extremely competitive industry. 4. The opportunities/threats presented by changing industry trends. Discussion Questions 1.

...The Alchemist is a very convincing and exhilarating book that tells us about following our dreams and taking them to the very end. This novel tells us to leave our boring, everyday lives, risk everything we have, and pursue our “personal legends.” It emphasizes and elucidates the fact that most people in this world want to be told that all their dreams and desires are to come true sooner or later, but Coelho states that in order for them to actually come true we have to struggle and strive to make our fantasies a reality. This compelling story is about Santiago, a normal shepherd boy, who is indeed, a dreamer. He dreams of finding great treasures and becoming rich, but he just doesn’t know where to start achieving his “personal legend.” Then, just when he was about to give up, Santiago met a very wise man that told him to listen to the omens, and he realized that these omens, good or bad, were all around him. He now knew that on your pursuit of your dreams, the universe and everything that surrounds it would do everything to help you accomplish your “personal legend.” We all believe that the universe is against us in our quest to make our dreams come true, but this novel tells us that if we just strive hard towards our goals, everything will work out in the very end. As Santiago started heading towards the desert, where he was destined to be, he faced eminent challenges and obstacles that he was yet to overcome. That is another thing that Coelho was trying to explicate...

...On February 1st, the participants of Duke of Edinburgh, I being one of them, were sent to Thumamah Desert located on the outskirts of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The purpose of Duke of Edinburgh is to give students a taste of how it feels like to live in nature and away from the modern world. Experiencing the climb of sharp and hilly mountains, learning how to use a GPS and how to calculate bearings as well as timings. Duke of Edinburgh was a wonderful experience for me, it also gave me a good excuse to spend two days with my friends! A desert is a massive land where little precipitation occurs and living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. A desert is formed by weathering processes as large variations in temperature between day and night put strains on the rocks which consequently break in pieces. Our aim, as the group, was to find out how fossils were produced in the desert. After doing a lot of research and exploring, we came up with a conclusion that these desert fossils were produced a very, very long time ago when the ground was covered with sea. As years went by, water dissolved leaving all the plants and sea shells behind as well as the seabed. This then turned into desert and all the sea shells turned into fossils. There is evidence that this desert was covered by sea because when we were walking, we observed wave strokes on sand and in some parts the sand was weaker than others. A desert is packed with adventures and obstacles for people to challenge. Our...

...Paulo Coelho was born on August 24, 1947, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was a rebellious teenager and his parents committed him to an asylum three times. When Coelho was 38 years old, he had a spiritual awakening in Spain and wrote about it in his first book, The Pilgrimage. It was his second book, The Alchemist, which made him famous. He’s sold 35 million copies and now writes about one book every two years. While sleeping near a sycamore tree in the sacristy of an abandoned church, Santiago, a shepherd boy, has a recurring dream about a child who tells him that he will find a hidden treasure if he travels to the Egyptian pyramids. An old woman tells Santiago that this dream is prophetic and that he must follow its instructions. Santiago is uncertain, however, since he enjoys the life of a shepherd. Next Santiago meets a mysterious old man who seems able to read his mind. This man introduces himself as Melchizedek, or the King of Salem. He tells Santiago about good and bad omens and says that it is the shepherd boy's duty to pursue his Personal Legend. Melchizedek then gives Santiago two stones, Urim and Thummim, with which to interpret omens. Santiago wavers briefly before selling his flock and purchasing a ticket to Tangier, in northern Africa, to which he travels by boat. Shortly after he arrives there, a thief steals all of Santiago's money, so the shepherd boy decides to look for a way to make enough money to return home. He finds work in the shop of a crystal merchant...

...Fundamental of Management Abstract SOA (service-oriented architecture) changed the conventional system development method, and allowed system integration to become more flexible. Cost reduction is a major issue in the construction of e-learning systems. Software components of SOA and web services are characterized by being reusable and interchangeable, and are therefore able to reduce waste of educational resources, as well as lower system development cost. This study uses web service components developed with Microsoft .NET and XML technologies to construct a teaching platform with standard specifications, allowing system developers to rapidly construct an e-learning system based on SOA and web services. Keywords: E-learning, Web Services, SOA, XML 1. Introduction SOA and web services can solve communication issues of different platforms or distributed architectures. XML (extensible markup language) technology is used as a foundation for message passing because its data format is able to go across platforms. SOAP (simple object access protocol), WSDL (web service description language) and UDDI (universal description, discovery and integration) technologies are used to describe, publish and access various objects. The prevalence of e-learning has caused government agencies, schools and private enterprises to set up e-learning websites one after another. However, these e-learning websites were constructed with different programming languages, data storage formats...

...What is SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) SOA is a loosely coupled component. Because of the loose coupling of Web Services are optimal for reuse. The benefits of loose coupling include location transparency, protocol independence, and time independence. SOA is a set of rules and specifications SOA is a set of messages How can you achieve loose coupling in a soa? One strategy for achieving loose coupling is to use the service interface (the WSDL for a SOAP Web Service) to limit this dependency, hiding the service implementation from the consumer. Loose coupling can be addressed by encapsulating the service functionalities in a manner that limits the impact of changes to the implementation on the service interface. However, at some point you will need to change the interface and manage versioning without impacting service consumers, in addition to managing multiple security constraints, multiple transports, and other considerations. Orchestration (computing): Orchestration describes the automated arrangement, coordination, and management of complex computer systems, middleware, and services. Orchestration versus Choreography In orchestration, the involved web services are under control of a single endpoint central process (another web service). This process coordinates the execution of different operations on the Web services participating in the process. The invoked Web services neither know and nor need to know that they are involved in a composition...

...affect the project. The scope of investigation allows a clearer understanding of the issues. With any project the issues and requirements should be clearly defined and understood prior to any agreed acceptable resolution is proposed. This scope of solution closely defines and will establish the design and build stages of the project. Dimensions can express the scope in terms such as business organization, functions, data, and systems. Appropriate detection of the dimensions of the project should be established, along with the components in scope and those out of scope. Mounir Neamatalla, president of Egyptian firm Environmental Quality International (EQI), who has invested in a sustainable development project in the beautiful Siwa oasis, near the Egyptian-Libyan border (Project Risk Management Casepack, 2011). EQI's objective is to draw on the old wisdom, traditional skills, and creativity of the local community and complement them with modern expertise to develop Siwa into a model of sustainable development that can serve as a source of inspiration for other communities around the world (Project Risk Management Casepack, 2011)....

...DICOM publication in an XML format The publication of the DICOM standard in an XML format he idea is that by having the specification in XML developers will be able to access all of the tables, all of the information object definitions, and the vocabulary, and use this in their products. This would enable thinks like test tools, code generators, documentation generators - there's wide variety of things that they expect to facilitate by creating an XML specification. FHIR and RESTful DICOM New users with new use cases want to leverage the technology they have - so if mobile devices support REST, DICOM has to create a RESTful protocol to allow for access to imaging objects by such devices. DICOM tries to ensure that the evolutionary trends still maintain the value of any existing images in the radiology department. As such these new protocols are viewed as layers on top of DICOM. There'll be a mixture of the DICOM native protocol and webservices for some of these new use cases. Radiation dosage monitoring DICOM also has relationships with the IEC related to the issue of radiation safety. Regulatory agencies have an interest in collecting information related to radiation/patient safety issues. Jointly with the IEC DICOM has created the information stuctures to capture patient radiation dose information, initially for simple X-Rays, for CT, and currently they're working on collecting radiation data for radiopharmaceuticals. This is tricky, because the radiopharmaceutical...
