...him for the success of the VM 2016. I also acknowledge MUCU leaders such as Brian Anyira, Bildad Osire and NIckanory Liboi for their hand and help in this. I also appreciate all ushers both in Grace Chapel and MUCU for their dedication in service during that period, members of other ministries and for the support of the whole church at large. May the Almighty God abundantly bless you. Responsibilities 1. Venue arrangement 2. Sanitation and cleaning of the venues 3. Usher people into meeting/fellowships 4. Collection of offerings 5. Ensure everyone gets their deserved seat Achievements 1. Venues were always arranged in good time 2. The washrooms and venues were always clean before the beginning of a meeting or fellowship 3. There was unity in service between ushers from MUCU and Grace chapel during the conclusion of the VM 2016 4. Ushers were dedicated in service and were willing to even stay up late and get up very early in order to serve efficiently Challenges 1. Seats to be arranged, sometimes used to arrive late at the venue hence inconveniencing the ushers 2. Sometimes there were few ushers in number in comparison to the workload present. 3. The impromptu relay of information about when to serve, though unavoidable posed as a challenge since some ushers failed to come claiming they were not prepared. Recommendations 1. More members should be encouraged to join the ministry 2. The ushers should be encouraged to keep...

...promotion team could have done differently that would have mad a difficult show run smoother. To begin, the venue where the show was being held at was only able to seat about 5,000 people. This was the first problem because they expected to see a lot more tickets. They sold about 8,000 pre-sale, 2,000 at the door, and 1,000 VIPs. They kept selling tickets until they were over sold. The venue was not the proper venue to host a show of this magnitude. Secondly, the promoter, Chang, refinanced his house and borrowed money from his mother to put on the show. He shouldn’t have had to borrow money to put on this show. There could have been something that happened down the road with the show that caused him to lose money. He could have lost his house and it could have taken a toll on him and his family. It also makes things more stressful if you know you have to make a certain amount of money to pay back what you borrowed before there is a profit made. Next, security was a major issue. They were not in the proper place when they should have been so it caused the doors to open late. This pushed everything in the show back and they had to make a lot of adjustments to get the show to end at the allotted time. There was not enough security at the event for the amount of people that were in attendance of the event. There were slow patting people down to let them into the venue so after people had waited in line for hours on end there was a big group of people that rushed the front...

...list translate that too 500 invites you got out electronically rather than a flyer, which I don’t encourage or discourage. Another tool to have is a website with all your past, current, and future events. It should contain pictures of events and parties that you have hosted and promoted. Phone numbers, emails, and other contact information should always show validity and be kept updated. If you are not well versed in networking, promoting is impossible, but you can always try flyers n go with the faith that your papers are being spread all over and not thrown in trash and I look at that as money lost. You will also need to have good relations with different clubs and venues, also with good deejays and bands that network with you, because it’s a shared responsibility between entertainers and promoters. Venues need both entertainers and...

...Jukely Unlimited The article that I chose to write about comes from Billboard. Jukely Unlimited is a new concert subscription service that recently opened to the public. It is an app that users download, and then “for $25 a month, members have access to select venues and shows as predetermined by the Jukely team, …for $45 a month, members get the same deal but with a plus one” (Brown). The team partners with music venues within a city to make the shows available to subscribers. Over 90% of users use the app for concert suggestions. They link their account with Facebook and based on their music likes on Facebook, will pair them with shows of similar artists or music who are playing at partnered venues that they think the user will like. The app is innovative and has now launched in over ten cities including New York City, Los Angeles and Nashville. Once they finish funding, they have plans to spread to over 400 cities all over the world. Technology has a huge influence on the music industry, especially when it comes to how the public is consuming music. Physical sales are down, but Spotify just recently hit 15 million paying subscribers each month, with 60 million users altogether. Most would say that it’s much easier to listen to music on the go. It’s easier for people to discover new music as well. They can stream playlists, look at similar artists, and even connect with their friends. We live in a world of people wanting instant gratification and I believe that apps like...

...1. Company Profile 1.1 Business Description The resurgence of the downtown area represents a unique opportunity for a high-energy dance club. The city's central location, demographics, and lack of direct competition are major advantages to this project. The proposed club—tentatively named “Rock Star”—will provide a local solution to the lack of dance and live music venues geared toward the 21 to 39 age group in the Noble area and will help keep late night entertainment expenditures within the region. The development of the downtown with foreign students has been, and will continue to be, a major catalyst in bringing people to the area. With current enrollment of over 1,300 students, the year-and-a-half old campus is slated for steady expansion through 2010 when enrollment is expected to hit 6,000 students. Additional surrounding educational institutions (two universities, Ottawa & Carleton) also contribute to the potential customer base. Other proposals in the area such as the Multiplex Theatre and shopping center will also greatly impact the city's traffic flow and nightlife. The new nightclub will specialize in high-energy dance music with a quality light show, and will offer beer, wine, and an array of liquors and mixed drinks. In addition, the club will sell non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, juices, and bottled water. A small food menu consisting mostly of appetizers and small entrees ranging in cost from $6 to $9 will also be available. The initial hours...

...currency bitcoin to increase the speed, and slash the price, of international money transfers, raising the prospect of a revolution in the $600bn annual global remittance market. Soaring rates of mobile phone use in developing countries are helping the entrepreneurs compete with more usual forms of money transfer in countries where remittance rates and fees are highest. Many of the world’s poorest people depend on money sent to them from friends and family abroad. According to World Bank figures for 2011, nearly half of Tajikistan’s GDP is derived from remittances, while in Liberia, Lesotho, Nepal and Haiti they account for more than a fifth of GDP. Entrepreneurs claim they are using bitcoin to give some of the world’s poorest people a better deal on the money they receive from abroad. The World Bank calculates the average fee on remittances at 8%, yet charges can be three times as high. A report from the Overseas Development Institute (published in April 2014 , said the benefits of remittance transfers “are lost in intermediation as a result of high charges. Africa’s diaspora pays 12% to send $200 – almost double the global average.” Bitcoin could also cut the time it takes to send remittances. BitPesa, a Kenyan mobile money transfer firm that launched in May, says its remittance transactions are “twice as fast and 75% cheaper” than competitors, because it uses bitcoin to transfer funds. Elizabeth Rossiello, BitPesa’s founder and CEO, said: “We’re looking to bring...

...and sell foreign currency banknotes. * Foreign Currency Banking - banking transactions are done in foreign currency. * Wire transfer - where clients can send funds to international banks abroad. currency exchange[1] (American English) is a business whose customers exchange one currency for another. Although originally French, the term bureau de change is widely used throughout Europe, and European travellers can usually easily identify these facilities when in other European countries. It is also common to find a sign saying "Exchange" or "Change." Since the adoption of the euro, many exchange offices incorporate itslogotype prominently on their signage. The term bureau de change is not used in the United States.[citation needed] Instead, the terms used in the United States and in Canadian English are currency exchange and sometimes money exchange, sometimes with various additions such as foreign, desk,office, counter, service, etc., for example foreign currency exchange office. Location : A bureau de change is often located at a bank, at a travel agent, airport, main railway station or large stores— namely, anywhere there is likely to be a market for people needing to convert currency. So they are particularly prominent at travel hubs, although currency can be exchanged in many other ways both legally and illegally in other venues. Some of the major players include Travelex and HSBC Business model: A bureau de change makes profit and competes by manipulating...

...TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT BY DR HAZEL GACHUNGA TRAINING PROCESS Today companies are taking training seriously due to the deeply held value that successful companies are the ones that take the training of their people seriously. Continuous improvement in process has meant that new technologies are being used and so people need the skills to operate these. Again skills are getting outdated very quickly because requirements are getting stringent and changing by the day. Organizations are facing fierce competition, which is accelerating the pace of change. Flatter organization structures coupled with technology help people to take on more work and greater spans of control. This structure can only be effective if the workforce is highly motivated, trained and educated. Alignment Training must be aligned with a company’s business direction and values. Training philosophy Expresses the degree of importance the company attaches to training. Training philosophy should be based on: 1) Strategic approach to training Takes a long-term view of what skills, knowledge and level of competence employees need. 2) Relevant 3) Problem – based 4) Action – action oriented 5) Continuous development Missions The training philosophy should be guided by the mission of the organization The mission should be communicated to all Example of a Training Department’s...

...modern terminologies, if you live like a nomadic person does, you are called itinerant,that now refers to the indigenous groups in a country who live in rural areas. But our brothers and sisters in urban areas tend to be moved from one place to another, yet they are not indigenous. They have the tendency to vacate their place, but not due to the loss of food and basic necessities, but because of the fact that they have to resettled and relocated to a new location. Resettlement is a voluntary or involuntary movement of large number of people from one place (which is usually the original settlement) to another (which is a new settlement), and this movement is not without consequence (Akpanudoedehe, 2010). It is a planned or impulsive transfer of people from their original places to a new settlement site wherein they have to adapt to the new environment. Here in the Philippines, resettlement is a common picture in our environment, and the most dominant kind of resettlement that we can see is involuntary. Involuntary resettlement is largely a consequence of planned change generated by major development projects such as dams for irrigation and hydropower, urban renewal, and highway construction (ADB 2000). Illegal settlers who live in these expropriated lands are relocated to places that may be far from their original home and is much different to the surroundings that they are used to. Over the years, the National Housing Authority is consistent in providing and maintaining...
