...Customer Inserts Tutor’s Name 25th November 2014. Outline The issue of tail docking in sheep Justifications why producers use tail docking in sheep production operations The length that the tail should be docked Informed position on the issue of tail docking The concerns of many animal welfare advocates Why docking should not be encouraged Alternatives to docking The issue of tail docking in sheep Tail docking is a process of removing a part of a lamb’s tail. The shortening of the tail is done using a docking iron, rubber rings, a knife or scalpel, or an emasculator. One of the main concerns that lead to docking is to avoid incidences of urine and feces accumulating under the tail of the sheep. The accumulation makes the sheep vulnerable to attacks by certain kinds of flies that cause bacterial infection, which in turn causes agony, uneasiness and even demise of the sheep. The other major reasons for docking are to ease the breeding processes in ewes and help in gaining weight (American Veterinary Medical Association 1). Even though docking has its benefits, the shortcomings are so many that it should not be encouraged. The paper seeks to clarify an opinion against docking and giving recommendations on the alternatives methods to be embraced. Informed position on the issue of tail docking Tail docking should be discouraged given that it causes severe pain to the lambs. In fact, the assertion is the major ground that makes...

...renamed The Walt Disney Studio. After four years of success and profit, Walter and Roy experienced a business set back when they found their film distributor M.J. Winkler had stolen their cartoon characters and animators in attempt to undercut them. With the help from their chief and loyal animator, Ub Iwerks, Walt created Mortimer Mouse, which was renamed Mickey Mouse by his wife. The first cartoon with synchronized sound was released at the Colony Theater in New York, November 18, 1928. Walt Disney won its first Academy Award for Best Cartoon in 1932 and continued to be honored with an Oscar every year for a decade. Walt Disney consumer products started when Walt and Roy accepted $300.00 from a man that insisted Mickey should be applied to paper towels for school children. The company became public in 1940 and followed with the release of five successful feature films, including Snow White, Fantasia, Pinocchio, Bambi and Dumbo. In turn they revolutionized animation forever. In 1955, the first of many Disneyland theme parks were opened. At the same time, television became a new, huge, and successful avenue for its fans. "I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination." –Walt Disney (Disney Dreamer, 2007). Due to this dream...

...Kotler 1. Define Marketing and Outline the steps in the Marketing Process? Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. The steps in the marketing process are: Situation analysis → Establishing objectives → Selecting the target market→ Developing the marketing mix → Implementation and control. 2. Why is it important to have Marketing as part of the Strategic Plan of an entity? This is because, in reality, nearly all strategic planning questions have marketing implications. In fact, the two major strategic planning questions --What products should we make? And what markets should we serve? --are clearly marketing questions. How do they all fit together in the overall organization of a company? Organizations bring managers and employees together to participate in cross-functional teams. This team members are responsible for all activities involving their products and customers. And marketing managers work closely with team members from production, finance, human resources, and other areas to devise plans that address all concerns. In well-managed organizations, a direct relationship exists between strategic planning and the planning done by managers at all levels. If done properly, strategy planning results in a clearly defined blueprint for management action in...

...Technology Policy Research, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore a number of marketing issues, such as consumer buyer behaviour and distribution channels, in relation to buying halal meat (HM) from local shops versus supermarkets in the UK. Design/methodology/approach – A consumer survey (300 participants) and observation of three local halal shops and a Morrisons supermarket were successfully undertaken in London, Brighton and Edinburgh. Findings – The majority of UK Muslims do not trust big supermarkets when buying HM. They will only trust a Muslim selling halal products in their local shops. Most respondents did not know that supermarkets in their local area sold HM. Research limitations/implications – In order to increase the sales of HM ranges, supermarkets need to improve their marketing efforts, for example by advertising in Islamic newspapers, mosques and other relevant sources. Supermarkets need to stock other complementary halal products to get a mass response from this market segment, as well as enhancing/improving their services, for example, there should be sales people who are able to advise customers on particular halal products. Originality/value – The study reveals that the majority of UK Muslims are at odds with most UK shoppers and increasingly prefer to shop at small shops, rather than big supermarkets. The paper helps to emphasise the major issues that frame the current state of marketing HM in the UK; contributes...

...2008 FRM® Examination Study Guide Topic Outline, Readings, Test Weightings The Study Guide sets forth primary topics and subtopics under the five risk‐related disciplines covered in the FRM exam. The topics were selected by the FRM Committee as topics that risk managers who work in practice today have to master. The topics are reviewed yearly to ensure the FRM exam is kept timely and relevant. FRM Examination Approach The FRM exam is a practice‐oriented examination. Its questions are derived from a combination of theory, as set forth in the readings, and “real‐world” work experience. Candidates are expected to understand risk management concepts and approaches and how they would apply to a risk manager’s day‐to‐day activities. The FRM examination is also a comprehensive examination, testing a risk professional on a number of risk management concepts and approaches. It is very rare that a risk manager will be faced with an issue that can immediately be slotted into one category. In the real world, a risk manager must be able to identify any number of risk‐related issues and be able to deal with them effectively. Readings Questions for the FRM examination are derived from the readings listed under each topic outline. These readings were selected by the FRM Committee to assist candidates in their review of the subjects covered by the exam. It is strongly suggested that candidates review these readings in depth prior to sitting for the exam...
