National Airspace System

MGMT 203 Management for Aeronautical Science Manager’s Perspective Paper †The National Airspace System (NAS) March 16, 2013 Prepared for Dr. Daniel Nation Lecturer Prepared by Ong Wei Jian Lionel Introduction In this report, we will be taking a gander at the National Airspace System (NAS). We will be taking a top to bottom gander at the diagram and the framework of the NAS, talk about the FAA Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), and furthermore look at the future needs of the National Airspace System.Overview of the NAS The National Airspace System is characterized as an intricate mix of frameworks, methodology, offices, airplane, and staff which cooperate as one framework to guarantee sheltered and effective air travel in the United States. The NAS comprises of a few parts, and these include: †¢ NAS Operational Facilities (unstaffed) †¢ Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) †¢ Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) †¢ Ground Radios and Radar Systems †¢ Airports †¢ Aircrafts (business, private, and military) Airline Personnel (working, keeping up, and modernizing the framework) †¢ Passengers (business and military) Infrastructure of the NAS The NAS assists with keeping up a protected and productive trip over the US airspace by permitting all control towers, control focuses, radios, radars, and numerous air terminals to be interconnected to each other to shape a NAS operational interchanges organize. This NAS correspondences arrange causes pilots to speak with air traffic controllers and aircraft activity focuses to guarantee a protected trip as they travel over the airspace.There are a three frameworks that make up the NAS, and these incorporate the Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) System, the Voice Communication Switching System (VCSS), and the Department of Defense (DoD) Advanced Automation System, or DAAS for short. The DASR System is a traffic air control radar framework that assists wit h distinguishing airplane position and climate conditions in the region of regular citizen and military landing strips. It comprises of two fundamental electronic subsystems: the essential observation radar and the optional reconnaissance radar, which utilize electromagnetic waves reflected off airplane to screen their positions.The VCSS is the interchanges framework used to deal with the voice correspondences of any Air Traffic Control (ATC) office. The VCSS must have the option to help all simple and advanced correspondences between the DoD, the ATC offices, and the pilots. The DAAS is a framework that is utilized to recover and process radar information, flight plans, and climate/air terminal ecological information to help DoD ATC administrations. The framework transmits part or the entirety of this prepared information to a showcase or workstation (inside geological closeness) for air traffic controllers to access with the end goal for them to control and screen the exercises in the airspace.FAA NextGen Air Transportation System The NextGen program is an activity created by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to help improve the proficiency, accommodation and reliability of the NAS. The NextGen modernization of the U. S. air traffic framework looks to expand the productivity of the NAS through innovative progressions; and just as improved methodologies and techniques. The NextGen program intends to utilize satellite route, which will permit pilots to know the exact areas of different planes around them and upgrade the general security of air travel.Airports are currently previously profiting by the NextGen program. These new abilities incorporate the national rollout of a system of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) ground handsets. These handsets will get GPS position reports from airplane furnished with ADS-B Out (a redesign required by 2020 for airplane flying in most controlled airspace); and by 2013, these handsets will be introd uced to give across the nation inclusion. Air traffic information, for example, Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) and Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) will be transmitted by the ADS-B transceivers.The FAA likewise tried a recently computerized Collaborative Departure Queue Management (CDQM) framework that intends to assist air terminals with improving takeoff the executives. The FAA is additionally setting up apparatuses that will empower air terminal administrators, aircrafts, and different NAS clients better access to shared surface reconnaissance information, which is crucial for protected and productive air terminal tasks. The Future Needs of the NAS The present highlights of the NAS shockingly, are not adequate to ensure effective or continuous activity in the future.The more noteworthy interconnectivity of frameworks achieved by the NextGen program implies that the digital dangers to the NAS are additionally expanded. The future digital security needs o f the NAS require a change in both the NAS framework and wellbeing society so as to be viable against expanded the potential digital dangers that will follow. Improved digital security expects changes to the current NAS wellbeing arrangements. More wellbeing surveys for consistent observing is required. Activities and duties of every single NAS staff currently must be deliberately investigated and taken into consideration.Responsibilities of framework executives and system administrators must be extended, from keeping up the exhibition of the framework to distinguishing nosy activities. Improved digital security additionally expects changes to the present NAS framework. Information gave by outside accomplices and activities mentioned by outer accomplices must be ensured that they are not pernicious in goal. The current digital security design additionally must be altered and updated as needs be to check the changing digital dangers, all in a short time span; while not settling on th e tasks of the NAS during these framework changes and modifications.References †¢ NextGen for Airports.

Renaissance Theatre

The Renaissance Theater By Macey Colburn, Brendan Simpson, Dayana Romero and Bryan D During the late fourteenth through the mid seventeenth century a getting up of expressions of the human experience and learning blasted in the western world. This getting up or resurrection is known as the Renaissance. The Renaissance period was a wonderful time. European governmental issues changed significantly there was an ascent of rulers and rulers and traders became key monetary figures. As individuals began to aggregate more cash they had relaxation time to fill and would get anxious to flaunt their fortune by employing craftsmen to make lavish works for them.During the Renaissance there was a clear change in the workmanship from medieval craftsmanship. Medieval specialists concentrated on strict subjects in their works of art and figures where Renaissance craftsmen concentrated on people and making sensible artistic creations and models. In 1450 the print machine was developed and this made w riting accessible to incredible quantities of individuals. The Renaissance likewise observed a noteworthy improvement in theater, particularly in Italy, England, Spain, and France. The English Renaissance was when language and writing flourished.This period is frequently called the Elizabethan time frame since Queen Elizabeth was the major political figure. She ruled for forty-five years from 1558 to 1603. During this time the English were interested by language and Queen Elizabeth was a beginner etymologist. Not exclusively did the English way to express affection they likewise had an adoration for the theater. Two extraordinary dramatists of the Elizabethan period were Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Christopher Marlowe, one of the most significant writers of the Elizabethan time, was known for culminating a key component to theater; sensational poetry.Marlowe’s â€Å"mighty line† otherwise called his emotional stanza in measured rhyming created quality, nuance, and gracefulness just as extraordinary verse magnificence. Marlowe composed a few plays including Doctor Faustus (c. 1588) Tamburlaine (Parts 1 and 2; c. 1587) and Edward II (c. 1592). Lamentably this verse genius’ life was stopped when he was wounded to death in a bar fight in 1593. He passed on at the age of twenty-nine. The other incredible dramatist of this period was William Shakespeare. Shakespeare showed up on the theater scene around 1590 pretty much the time Marlowe made his presentation. He was a local of Stratford-on-Avon and his dad was a glove aker and his mom was the little girl of a noticeable landowner and rancher. Shakespeare was instructed in Stratford and he wedded Ann Hathaway. She bore him three youngsters and was quite a while more established than Shakespeare. When Shakespeare’s third youngster was conceived he left his family and went to London where he previously functioned as an on-screen character and not long after turned into a dra matist. He consolidated Senecan sensational gadgets, the stage, ground-breaking emotional refrain, source material structure English history, Roman history and dramatization, and roundabout plot structure and made every one of these components into the most noteworthy plays ever created.The theaters that were enormous during the Elizabethan time were open or outside theaters. The plays of Shakespeare and Marlowe were basically acted in open theaters. These theaters where situated outside the city furthest reaches of London to evade government limitations. All degrees of society went to open theaters and the most well known open auditorium was the Globe theater since it was the home of Shakespeare’s plays. The venues were worked to hold many individuals and the specific state of the theaters varied.Depending on the state of the performance centers the open venues could hold between 1,500 to 3,000 individuals. The phase of the open auditoriums was a raised stage that was more l ike a contemporary push than to a proscenium stage. This sort of stage was extraordinary for rapidly changing areas from a room to a front line. In the stage floor were trapdoors. Behind the raised stage was the stage house. The stage house otherwise called the tiring house was a three story building where changing ensembles occurred and for putting away properties and set pieces.Other than the open performance center there were additionally private theaters. The Elizabethan private performance centers were indoor spaces lit by candles and had high windows. Private auditoriums were available to the overall population and on the grounds that they were littler seating was constrained so the private performance centers were somewhat pricier than the open theaters. Outfits of the Elizabethan Era followed the shows and customs of medieval English theater. During the English Renaissance the government had exacting laws and guidelines for the acting companies.Elizabethan acting organizatio ns could just have twenty five individuals and these individuals were sorted out on a sharing arrangement. There were three classes of individual in an organization: investors, workers, and understudies. Investors were the first class individuals from the organization and got a level of the troupes benefits. Workers were on-screen characters that were recruited for a specific measure of time and were paid a particular pay and assumed the minor jobs. Students were the youthful entertainers. They prepared for a calling and were doled out to investors. Players were a regal joy, and to satisfy sovereignty was a significant point of the organizations. The narrative of the organizations somewhere in the range of 1572 and 1642 is one of expanding illustrious kindness and insurance, from initial 1572 rule which offered warrant to their quality, through the honor of direct regal support after 1603, to definite period when the regal assurance stopped to be important. There is, none the less, in spite of the regal favors and the birthplaces of the organizations in work as performers †Adult mummers or kid choristers †no inquiry however that the benefit rationale was absolutely predominant† (Gur 19).During this time there were no female entertainers. Women’s jobs were frequently played by young men or men. â€Å"The careful date of the actress’s debut isn't known, however is normally thought to be 8 December 1660, when it is realized that a lady played Desdemona in a creation of Othello by Thomas Killigrew’s King’s Company. An uncommon preamble was composed by the artist Thomas Jordon ‘to present the main Woman that came to follow up on the phase in the catastrophe called the Moor of Venice’: â€Å"The Woman playes today, botch me not,/No Man in Gown, or Page in PettyCoat.A week later one Andrew Newport kept in touch with Sir Richard Leveson that ‘upon our stages we have ladies on-screen characters, as past s eas’ †(Howe 19). Organizations would once in a while play out a similar play on two back to back days and each organization must have the option to resuscitate plays in its repertory without prior warning. Due to this the on-screen characters were caused to remain alert and impromptu creation was utilized much of the time. Additionally to keep the actor’s recollections invigorated plots or layouts of the sensational activity of the different plays were posted backstage.Rehearsals were controlled by dramatists or driving entertainers and on the grounds that practice time was insignificant the guide turned into an advantage for the creation. Not just in England prosper in incredible time of renaissance theater yet did as well Spain. In the 1550 to 1650 was the Golden Spain Age. Spain turned into the main of the New World as a result of its investigation and victory of the new world. They controlled the entirety of the Netherlands. Be that as it may, in 1558 it lost it power as a result of the annihilation of Spanish Armada. The Spanish Armada was when Spain was going for the protestant of Queen Elizabeth in England.One of their contrast between the Spanish and the English, was the religion dramatization. Spanish were the ones that training progressively about non religion show. The full-length common, as to being three acts, which were comedias. The majority of the comedias were about adoration and respect. One of the play composes of the Golden Age was Lope de Vega who was conceived on November 25, 1562 after Shakespeare. He expounded on 1,500 plays yet said around 470 still today. One of his notable Punishment without Revenge that was written in 1631. Only a couple of years before he kicked the bucket on August 27, 1635.Another known play wright was Calderon de la Barca who was conceived in Madrid, Spain on January 17, 1600. He was known to be probably the best playwright during the Golden Age. One of his notable plays was Life is a Dream t hat he wrote in 1636. In 1651 Calderon turned into a cleric and still keep on composing plays. May 25, 1681. During the Golden Age there were females that were writers, yet their creation was never introduced. These writers were introduced on a phase called Corrales. The Corrales were situated in the yard by near one another building.The Corrales had a comparability to the English open theater. They had an outdoors space. One of the most known Corrales was situated in Madrid, the Corral de la Cruz and the Corral del Principe. In the corral it held around 2,000 ghosts, 1,000 were for men and 350 for ladies, and the rest was for the administration and the church. In the Golden Age just around sixteen to twenty entertainers. The Spanish included the ladies likewise not at all like the English. In spite of the fact that the congregation didn't concur with ladies being entertainers, so the Spanish government needed to dispose of ladies from acting.Only ladies who were hitched to one of t he on-screen characters they could be a piece of the exhibition. The Renaissance time of theater in France began later than it did on different nations, for example, England or Spain. In France, Renaissance theater didn't begin until the late seventeenth century, in part because of a common war going on at the time among Catholic and Protestant gatherings, which was finished in fifteen ninety four when King Henry the IV made the Edict of Nantes, which offered resilience to both the Catholic and protestant religions.Now that there was strict soundness and the political framework was settled down, French society had the option to develop and prosper under King Louis XIV.

Animal Farm is an allegorical fable of the workers revolt and the rise to power of the communist party in the former Soviet Union shortly after World War I and in particular the rise to supremacy of Joseph Stalin, as told in the form of a story of the farm animals of Manor Farm who overthrow the drunken farmer Jones and seize control of the farm for themselves. In this allegory, farmer Jones represents the Russian aristocracy and the animals represent the peasants, working class, and some elements of the middle class who revolted against them. The various animals on the farm were intended by Orwell to represent the various classes and responses of individuals to power. We will write a custom essay sample on Analysis of Animal Farm and It’s Characters or any similar topic only for you Order Now The pigs clearly represent the ruling class and the lust for power, the ones who will go out of their way to get what they want. They also represent the intellectual class, because of their capacity to read and write. First among the pigs is Old Major, the boar who prophesizes the revolution. He is based on the political economist Karl Marx, and, like Marx, dies before the revolution occurs, but whose teachings inspired the revolution. After the revolution, two pigs: Snowball and Napoleon, rise to prominence in the ruling pig class. Snowball was Orwell’s portrayal of the intellectual orator Leon Trotsky, who was outmanoeuvred for the leadership of the Russian communist party after the death of Lenin by Stalin, who is represented in Animal Farm by Napoleon. Snowball, like Trotsky, comes to be portrayed by the ruling forces as an anti-revolutionary figure who they claim to be working behind the scenes to undermine what happens on the farm. Second in the social ladder of Animal Farm are the puppies, taken from their mother at birth and indoctrinated by Napoleon. They signify the elite revolutionary guard, most loyal to the leadership but who also benefit from that loyalty. Further down the ladder is Boxer, the work-horse who is very loyal to authority. The expression â€Å"work-horse† refers to a â€Å"person or machine that dependably performs hard work over a long period of time† which corresponds perfectly with Boxer and his motto: â€Å"I will work harder†. He symbolizes the hard working peasant class, who in communist societies were always hailed by the ruling class but who were also secretly feared by them for their strength. Lower on the ladder you find the sheep. They are the ignorant ones and symbolize the uneducated, those most easily duped and fooled by power, and from whom the ruling class gain most of their authority. Finally, there is Benjamin the donkey, who represents cynicism, those who recognize corruption but do nothing to stop it and follow the current; those who go along and try not to be noticed. Only once does Benjamin become exited, and it happens when his friend Boxer gets carried away by the glue cart and taken to his untimely death, in the same way that mister Jones would have done. Among the humans, the main characters are Mister Frederick and Mister Pilkington. They represent Germany and England respectively. They compete both for the favour of Animal Farm but both wish to undo Animal Farm. Animal Farm is partly saved by the fact that Mr. Fredrick and Mr. Pilkington don’t get along, and their conflict represent the struggles in Europe during the years of the Second World War and those leading up to it. Mr. Fredericks attack on Animal Farm near the end of the book is a portrayal of the treachery of a pact signed between Stalin and Hitler, which lead to the siege of Leningrad. In essence, the novella deals with the way power becomes consolidated in smaller and smaller hands, until it is essentially controlled by one animal, Napoleon. After Jones is overthrown, power is shared by every animal, intelligent or not, but quickly comes to reside only in the hooves of the ruling class, better known as the pigs, then only in Napoleon’s. It is the story of how power corrupts everything. Animal Farm is perceived, at the beginning, as an idealistic farm where power is divided into the hands of all, and the repartition of power was voted by every animal. Therefore one can argue that Animal Farm’s political power was gained in legitimate way, which means it was accepted by all the animals. Even though Animal Farm depicted an optimistic regime, it did not take long before its state deteriorated. It is easily relatable to the power in the Soviet Union at the time. Whilst Stalin gained power in an illegal way by duping the soviet population and making Trotsky flee, he portrayed himself as the greatest thing that ever happened to the Union, and conned his people by creating a lifestyle in which everyone had equal rights and duties. Like in the Soviet Union, once power was contained by the more authoritative, in this case the pigs, it became progressively illegitimate. Putting the control in smaller and smaller hooves, the animals on the farm slowly lost power, and therefore the power became illegitimate, because it was not accepted fully by all the animals. Although Orwell was a socialist, his novel demonstrates how for revolutions to succeed, violent men are needed to run the revolution, but once successful, these men are going to remain violent to maintain their doctrine. It is also interesting to see how the animals represent the different psychologies of individuals coming to deal with something that they believed with every fiber of their being to be good but which turns out to be totally wrong. On the one extreme you have the sheep types, who are far too ignorant to understand what is going on, while on the other you have the Benjamin-the-donkey types who know that it is wrong but decide to go with it because they are too cynical to believe that there is a possibility of a better world. According to my edition of the book, this novella was written between November 1943 and February 1944. The siege of Leningrad, which is depicted in the novel, only ends at the end of January 1944, just a few weeks before Orwell completed his principal draft of the novella. Also, the novella was first published in England in August 1945, just a few months after the end of World War II. The final chapter, however, begins with the sentence: â€Å"Years passed†, and tells the history of Animal Farm in the years after the battle with Frederick. What is interesting is that the first nine chapters of the novella is a fable of the history of the Soviet Union up to the end of World War II. But because the novella was published in 1945, this final chapter is Orwell’s speculation of the future direction of the Soviet Union. In it, he draws an Animal Farm that becomes increasingly like it was before the expulsion of Jones, except even more brutal. The relationships between the pigs and the other farmers become gradually more closer, and ultimately the name of Animal Farm returns to the name Manor Farm. Clearly, the history of the Soviet Union in the cold war period is vastly different of that depicted by Orwell in the final chapter of the book; the reality of post World War II era is that the Soviet Union did not go back to being named Russia and did not denounce Marxism. Personally, I think that while accurately predicting a ruling class that would become more and more aristocratic and less and less concerned for the welfare of its citizens, Orwell also tries to depict a Soviet ruling class that isn’t the worst ruling class, but how is it as bad as those in other countries. This becomes clear in that final scene where the pigs and the farmers start toasting each other and the farmers praise the pigs successes. The final line of the book reads, â€Å"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which. â€Å" How to cite Analysis of Animal Farm and It’s Characters, Essay examples

The Truth of Obama Care free essay sample

The Truth of â€Å"Obama Care† American National Government/ POL201 Nicole Emery Instructor: David Williams Obama Care 2 The Truth of â€Å"Obama care† Obama Care is the unofficial name for The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which was signed into law on March 23, 2010. In a more general sense Obama Care and the Health Care for America Plan or any such name is a reference to the ongoing health care reform under President Obama. (http://obamacarefacts. com/whatis-obamacare. php) The ACA is landmark legislation designed to increase access to health care coverage for millions of Americans. Wizemann,2011) This legislation represents one of the largest and most comprehensive reforms to the American health care system since the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The ACA seeks to extend coverage to roughly 50 million uninsured Americans, slowing down the growth in the cost of health care, and improving the quality of care health care by changing the delivery system. We will write a custom essay sample on The Truth of Obama Care or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page ( Some people who oppose the Act are concerned that it gives the Federal government too much control over personal health care decisions and benefits, forcing a complex one-size-fits-all health system onto the states. Some people who are in favor of the Act want lower health care costs overall by making it affordable for more people. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 significantly changed health care in the U. S. , making insurance available to 32 million more Americans a total of 95% of the legal population. The Act, is being phased in over four years. By 2014, every citizen will be required to have health insurance, or face a penalty. However, they can choose how to get coverage. If they already have a plan, either through their employers, Medicaid, Medicare, or privately, they can keep it. Those who cant currently get health insurance will have additional options. They can purchase it from a state-based health insurance exchange (and possibly get subsidy) or they may be eligible under expanded Medicare guidelines. Obama Care 3 The program is originally designed to add to the federal budget $930 billion dollars. The act was designed to offset the budget by lowering payments to hospitals, Increasing Medicare taxes on higher income households, assessing penalties on employers who dont offer, and individuals who dont take, health care insurance, assessing taxes on various health related activities, and reducing overhead by consolidating the higher education loan program with the Pell Grant program. Although there has been tremendous opposition before; during and after its becoming law, the Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional that all U. S. citizens must purchase health care insurance from a private carrier, or pay a penalty, is for the right for congress to impose a tax. Even with our house of representatives trying numerous times to repeal the law and still keeps getting over ruled. The opposition has been so great that many Americans think the law has already been repealed. I am sure you are asking yourself what does this mean, when does this come to affect and how does this affect you? Here are the changes that happened in 2010. Medicare beneficiaries who fell into the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug donut hole received a $250 rebate. They received a 50% discount on brand name drugs in 2011 and the doughnut hole are eliminated in 2020. Children were allowed to stay on their parents health insurance until they turn 26. New private plans were required to cover preventive services with no co-payments, and they are exempt from deductibles. Consumers who applied to new plans have access to an external appeals process if coverage is denied. Insurance ompanies were prohibited from dropping coverage if someone got really sick. They couldnt create lifetime coverage limits. They could no longer deny coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. The same will apply to adults in 2014. Until then, adults with pre-existing conditions who have been denied coverage will get access to temporary health insurance coverage until the exchanges is set up. These are the changes that happened in 2011Medicare-covered preventa tive services were Obama Care 4 xempted from deductibles and the co-pay was eliminated. Insurance companies must prove they spent at least 80% of the premium payments on medical services, rather than on things like advertising and executive salaries. Those that didnt were required to provide rebates to policyholders. States were funded to require health insurance companies to submit justification for all rate hikes. Funds were expanded to increase the number of doctors and nurses, and more community health centers enough to double the number of patients they can treat in the next five years. These are future changes to look forward to. Medical expenses must be at least 10% of income before they are deductible for those under 65. Manufacturers and importers of medical devices will pay a 2. 3% excise tax. Federal funds will increase to allow Medicaid to offer free preventive services, and to extend CHIP for an additional two years. The Federal government will fund states to pay primary care physicians 100% of the Medicare fee. Medicare will start a pilot program to encourage hospitals to bundle services before submitting for payment. Additional taxes will be paid by the 1 million people who make more than $200,000 and the 4 million couples filing jointly who make more than $250,000. Specifically, they would pay 3. 8% Medicare taxes on dividends, capital gains, rent and royalties and 2. 35% (up from 1. 45%) Medicare taxes on income. In 2014, the state-run health exchanges will be set up. Medicaid eligibility will be expanded to include those with incomes up to 133% of the Federal poverty line ($29,000 for a family of four). New subsidies will become available for with incomes up to 400% of the poverty level ($88,000 for a family of four). Those who dont purchase insurance will be assessed penalties: 2014 The greater of $95 or 1% of income. 2015 $325 or 2% of income. 2016 – $695 or 2. 5% of income. Businesses with 50+ workers must pay $2,000 per worker (except for the first 20) if they don’t offer health insurance. Those that do receive a tax credit of 50% of the premium cost.

How to Winterize Your Dormant Trees

How to Winterize Your Dormant Trees Trees in fall are in a state of serious change and reorganization. The tree is becoming dormant. A tree heading toward winter will sense the changing temperature and light and obey the dormancy controls built into the leaf. The mechanisms, called senescence, is what tells a tree to close down for coming winter. Tree Activity in Winter Trees may look inactive going into winter but the fact is they continue to regulate their metabolism and only slow down some physiological activities. This decrease in photosynthesis and transpiration begins a trees dormant phase. Trees still continue to slowly grow roots, respire and take in water and nutrients. Winter is a difficult time for a tree. A dormant tree still needs to be protected (winterized) to remain healthy and free from diseases and insects. The bad news is  winter weather encourages destructive pests to snuggle in and wait for spring to revive their destructive lifecycles. Small investments in properly caring for your trees can pay off big come spring. Pruning Prune dead, diseased and overlapping branches in late fall. This will form and strengthen the tree, encourages new strong growth in the spring, minimizes future storm damage and protects against overwintering disease and insects. Remember that dormant pruning has another benefit - it is easier to do during winter dormancy than in spring. Correct structurally weak branches and limbs. Remove all deadwood that is clearly visible. Properly prune branches that can touch the ground when loaded with rain and snow. Foliage and branches that are in contact with soil invite undesirable pests and other problems. Remove damaged and declining twigs, branches, and bark or any new sprouts that have grown at the tree base, or along stems and branches. Mulch and Aerate Young trees are especially vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature and moisture and need mulching protection. Mulch is good insurance that both conditions will be evenly managed during cold and drought. Mulching is a good practice for both dormant and full-growing, vegetative trees. Spread a thin layer of composted organic mulch to cover the soil several inches deep. Cover an area at least as large as the branch spread. In addition to protecting feeder roots, mulch also recycles nutrients directly to these roots. Aerate soils and compacted mulch if they are waterlogged or poorly drained. Saturated and dense soil can suffocate roots. It is critical not to damage tree roots in the soil as you do this, so work only on those few inches at the surface crust. so work only on those few inches at the surface crust. Fertilize and Water Fertilize by top dressing over the mulch with a balanced fertilizer if the essential elements are in short supply within the soil. Be sure to use nitrogen lightly, especially under large, mature trees and around newly planted trees. You do not want a vegetative flush of growth during late fall periods of warming. Large applications of nitrogen cause this growth. Dry spells in winter or hot daytime temperatures will desiccate a tree very quickly. Watering may be needed where soils are cool but not frozen, and there has been little precipitation. Winter droughts need treatment with water the same as summer droughts, except it is much easier to over-water in winter. Dormant Spray A dormant spray may be a good idea for deciduous trees, ornamentals, fruit trees, and shrubs. But remember not to spray until after you prune. Obviously, you will lose much of your effort and expense if you cut off treated limbs. Choice of chemicals is important. Dormant sprays include lime, copper and sulfur combinations to kill overwintering microorganisms. Dormant oil controls insects and their eggs. You just may need several types of sprays and oils to be effective. Avoid spraying any of this material in the hot sun as it can damage dormant buds. Get specific chemical recommendations from your local county extension agent.

To what extent do electronic cimmerce influence the lifestyle of Research Paper

To what extent do electronic cimmerce influence the lifestyle of lancaster people - Research Paper Example People who utilise e-commerce are influenced by many factors that drive desire to use the Internet or other mobile technologies. These include free delivery of product, the ability of the seller to ensure accuracy of order fulfilment and exchange and return opportunities. Research has also shown that there is even more incentive when sellers reduce potential risks, such as privacy and payment security (Makhija and Stewart 2002). These factors tend to influence increased use of e-commerce as a lifestyle tool. However, there is a gap in literature about, specifically, Lancaster residents and whether e-commerce influences their lifestyles and is deemed a relevant and valuable method of shopping or conducting other business. This study maintains the ability to gain an understanding of a specific geographic region and the extent to which e-commerce is considered a constructive and beneficial tool. According to Price (2014), e-commerce is becoming a widespread trend in consumer shopping, with buyers spending 23 percent of every British Pound spent on shopping in the e-commerce environment. What attributes to this growing trend for an industry now worth  £17 billion? Asfend-e-yar and Tjoa (2013) assert that social familiarity with computer science improves acquaintance with online shopping, making the industry flourish. Furthermore, online shopping maintains fewer costs to the purchaser, including labour expenditures and economics. This is due to the fact that e-commerce sellers have much less overhead costs than in a traditional bricks-and-mortar retail outlet (Lamson-Hall 2013). This has implications on whether a company can provide attractive pricing, facilitated by a more streamlined distribution system allowing for more price-conscious movement of inventories that translates into a better opportunity for buyers. Hence, e-commerce can facilitate more convenient and simpli stic shopping experiences than in traditional bricks-and-mortar retail outlets. There

) Ventilation is an important aspect of any building or dwelling. It provides its inhabitants with clean, fresh air whilst also reducing the risk of mould or fungal growth due to excessive condensation and other air pollutants. 2.2) Many people in Ireland today still rely solely on natural/purge ventilation (i.e. windows, doors etc.) However, with this need for constant ventilation comes an adverse risk of unnecessary, and often costly, heat loss. With reference to: Technical Guide Document Part F – Ventilation (2009), which states â€Å"the opening of a window in a habitable room for purge ventilation may also be relied on for extract ventilation†. Installing permanent ventilation devices in each habitable room and also ‘wet’ rooms (i.e. bathroom, utility room) will ensure any undesirable draughts or excessive air movements will be kept to a minimum thus reducing any unnecessary heat loss. 2.3) In recent years a range of mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery (MVHR) have entered the Irish market. These systems are designed to recover up to 95% of the heat normally lost through open windows, standard vents and other break-out points (i.e. extractor fans) in a building structure. Fresh air is continuously drawn into the home via a low energy heat recovery ventilation unit, located in the attic/utility area of the home. Once passed through a heat exchanger within the ventilation system, the warm, clean, filtered air is distributed around the home through a series of ducts which are run to each habitable room (i.e. bedrooms, living room). In addition to this the air from wet rooms, such as bathrooms and utility areas, is continuously extracted and filtered back through the heat recovery ventilation unit.

General Ethical Perspectives Essay

Leadership is usually effective when leaders are motivated. Self drive is important to attain good leadership. Motivation for leaders is usually cultivated by the getting concerned with others. Leadership is further built by the development of ethical prospects such that there is a clear guideline on what leaders are required to do and what they can omit. Leadership personalities differ from person to person and high moral standards are required for effective leadership. Nevertheless whatever is moral in some communities may be immoral in another culture. For a leaders to fit in different cultures they must be culturally diversified in their leadership techniques. Ethical leadership is developed depending on an organizational culture. Different cultures are developed differently for different organizations. There are institutions that promote then culture of morality while others may develop a culture of corruption. There are no definite universal codes of ethics designed for particular organizations or associations. However, there are well developed general ethical leadership theories used for the purpose of encouraging unique leadership techniques and moral stability for leaders. This essay discuses general ethical theories or approaches used on the selection of moral choices. A variety of general ethical perspectives such utilitarianism, Kant’s Categorical Imperative, Justice as Fairness, Communitarianism, Altruism, Ethical Pluralism are discussed. Utilitarian ethical perspective is a theory based on motive of promoting the well being of the majority of people within a community. According to utilitarianism theory, ethical choices are depended on their repercussion. In this case, most leaders explore possible outcomes to their deeds when they make decisions. Utilitarianism advocates for decisions whose profits outweigh its demerits. These benefits are expected to meet more needs for the majority. In other words, utilitarianism seeks to extend greater good to most people. Many leaders approach situations from a perspective of utilitarian approach in making critical leadership decisions. In some situations one evil may seem a solution and a source of satisfaction of majority of the community. For instance, lying may protect someone’s dignity. Although the lie may protect one leader’s dignity, lies are considered unethical and destructive than constructive. A good example of such leadership is the case of president Truman of U. S, who decided to end the war in pacific by dropping atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was an ethical decision towards the safety and security of Americans. However, it was at the expense of thousand of lives of Japanese. The war stopped, but the world wondered why the president thought that atomic bombs were the only solution to ending the war. Another outcome was a consistent exploration of atomic bombs and on ground nuclear power test which resulted in numerous cancer cases on humanity. This is because the public was not aware of the effect on nuclear radiations effect and the leaders did not enlighten them in safety measures. This ethical decision was reached at when the president of America found it more beneficial to safeguard the lives of American than it would cost him in dropping the bombs. He pleased his people by securing them from the war. In contrast, Kant’s categorical imperative philosophy advocates that we must do the right thing regardless of its underlying costs and benefits. Leaders are encouraged to follow the rules of morality; that we may not need to tell a lie or kill one person for the sake of saving many. Kant uses deontological ethics in which he applies moral reasoning. For instance, he says that if we want to make choices in an important issue it is important to reason first and validate our decision. We should be able to take a decision only if the rest of our society would also pick on the same. In other words, if one is guilty, then they are taking the wrong decision. According to Kant, it is always right to tell the truth no matter the cost but cheating is always wrong. Several wrong can not make a right just as several lies will never make a truth. Although most leaders use the led as a means to an end, they should learn that humans ought to be treated as the end itself. It is undisputable that humans can be used for the success of others, but they should be respected and supported moral in capacity building. The society need to be encouraged and empowered in decision making as well as being protected against harm. In this context it is not right for production firms to pollute the environment without the necessary public safety awareness and protection. According to this philosophy one should be ready to help the needy, since the failure to help them is incapacitating them. They need to be encouraged to work and persist in doing right against wrong. Justice as fairness is philosophy that encourages equality of opportunities and rights to all, which works against ignorance. John Rawls researched on justice as fairness and documented some of his articles. In his research, he realized that utilitarian principles would not be applicable in society. According to him, when the largest benefit to the society is delivered there would be some marginalized groups within the members of the society. Some individuals may never be advantaged at any one point. He therefore encouraged the formation of corporations within the society which would comprise of free, democratic and equal citizen. He believed that this category of people would always strive to alleviate any inequalities among them. They would always try to promote their limited and varied talents and capabilities. For instance, he pointed out that if a national leadership decides to withdraw corporate taxes, the beneficiary is the firm owner and not the free citizens. In the light of utilitarian principles, generally national economy would grow but citizens must cover for the lost corporate taxes thus thy end up being disadvantaged. Rawls advocates for equality of rights to access basic liberties thus emphasizing similarity of liberties across the society. He further insists that economic and social inequality should be aimed at the satisfaction of conditions of fairness in equality of opportunity availability to all and development of great advantages to the less privileged in the society. According to him, discrimination of whatever kind; gender or race, poor, immigrants, disabled or marginalized, need to be alleviated. It is clear that inequality exists naturally, but leadership needs to focus on the elimination of the differences. The disadvantaged must be uplifted, empowered and directed towards personal development which has an overall effect of their well being and overall development of the national economy at large. Equality must be sought in opportunity availability, liberty provision, and care for the disadvantaged. Communitarianism is a philosophy of the 20th century in which individualism was shunned, and communal activity and ownership embraced. These involve the redefinition of individual rights, citizenship relationship with civil responsibility and improvement of public security, safety and health. Redefinition of legal right to the traffic rules and regulation ensure safety for more road users in within the communitarian society. Civic rights communitarians’ society means taking part in civic responsibility like serving the jury. Communitarianism involves the promotion of community health through the provision of necessary team cooperation, participation, community maintenance, affirmation, and diversification of amenities to serve that community. Collaborative leadership is encouraged in the communitarian. This encourages problem solving based on the collaborative leadership representation in which leaders from diverse categories take part in the solution of civic problems. Altruistic leadership approach emphasizes on leadership principle promoting high moral values some of which are developed from Christianity and Judaism. This kind of leadership acknowledges hospitality, generosity, empathy, concern for others as well as compassion, in with leadership should promote love for God and for humanity. This kind of leadership is the driving force in many social organizations. Volunteer work, good turn and spirit of giving to the poor and less privileged is advocated for. Through altruism, leaders are bound to experience more risks on behalf of the led. Ethical pluralism is whereby all several ethical theories of leadership are merged and practiced concurrently. The mixture of the five approaches of ethics is very important in the solution of particular ethical problems and making decisions that would otherwise not be made by use of a single approach. In general leadership is developed by a combination of various leadership principles and personalities. Different Ethical leadership perspectives are used by different leaders to lead the society. Deferent leadership decisions are based on different ethical perspectives. Reference Johnson, C. E. (2004). Meeting The Ethical Challenges of Leadership: Casting Light Or Shadow. 3rd Edition.
