...developed countries are increasingly outsourcing airplane maintenance, overhaul, and repair services abroad, especially in developing economies. There are as many speculations as to the cause of this trend with recent report by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) showing that these companies intend to cut costs. In other words, mechanics and other repair and maintenance professionals in countries such as the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, and France are costly. Furthermore, Fielding, Lo, and Yang (2010) attribute the same to an increase in aeronautical fuel. As such, aircrafts need to balance between making profits and losses related to repair and maintenance overhead costs. However, the main conundrum that every stakeholder asks is whether or not it is safe to have airplanes maintained by mechanics in foreign countries? Following the many maintenance-related incidents, airlines are becoming more skeptical of these abroad service providing companies and personnel. Such accidents results from negligence, incompetent, lack of coordination and documentation of maintenance records. Given that most incidents are also associated to mechanical and electrical issues, human faults, and failure to observe safety procedures and regulations, this report intends to examine the prevailing situation and provide necessary recommendations to mitigate risks, damage on properties, and loss of human life. To achieve this goal, focus is on the management and regulation of...

...of 14 million total vehicle sales in the United States. By 1999, the percentage of the total market had increased and total sales were higher. SUVs/light truck sales were 8.2 million of 16.4 million units sold.21 47.6 percent of Ford Motor Company's sales are of SUVs, primarily its Ford Explorer and larger Expedition, but also of its even larger Excursion. These vehicles took the place of the truck-like Bronco and smaller Bronco II. The largest players in the SUV market (with the number of units sold in 2000) are as follows: 22 [pic] In 1997, most auto manufacturers expanded their SUV offerings and entered the luxury SUV market. These SUVs, with prices around $50,000, featured in-vehicle televisions and VCRs, leather interiors, and all the amenities of luxury cars. The new market entrants are listed below: [pic] By 2000, the U.S. segment of the luxury SUV market was 80.5 percent.23 At that time, SUV purchases constituted one of every five auto sales in the United States and were the highest-margin products in all the automakers' lineups .24 Profits per SUV averaged $ 10,000 per unit. Profits on the Ford Excursion were at the top of the field at $18,000 per unit. At that time, SUVs comprised 20 percent of all of Ford's vehicle sales and accounted for the majority of Ford's profits.25 By the summer of 2001, there were some indications of a slowdown in the SUV market. Many attributed the decrease in sales to the price of gasoline and its escalation. However...

...is too dangerous and people have been killed. In this report I will talk about how SCUBA diivng has changed peoples lives, giving them hope when they thought there was nothing to live for. I am also going to talk about the advancements in SCUBA equipment and trainig. I will also talk about how many people have actually been hurt or killed while diving, in different areas of the world. When it comes to the dangers of SCUBA diving, which is what we are all intersted in, I found that most of the injuries or deaths were not from the acutal act of SCUBA diving. Some of them were from free diving which just goes to show that if you have the proper equipment then you will be prepared for almost any contingency. On the other hand there are some things that are beyond your control. According to the the article Scuba Diving Accident Statistics, 38 percent of the scuba fataliies have been caused by cardiac incient, trauma, DCS, loss of condiousness, or inappropriate gas. In the same article it showed that 33 percent of the fatalaties were from drowning. 29 percent were from an Arterial Gas Emobolism, which is caused when the diver holds his breath while coming to the surface. So you can see compared to riding a motorcycle, a motorcycle seems more dangerous. To put this into perspective 4,778 people were killed in 2006 due to motorcycle accidents while only 90 fatalaties were reported in 2001. (6)(7) In another report it was stated that 11 to 18 deaths per 100,000 members (6)...

...Royal Caribbean: Exotic Promises and Toxic Waters August 6, 2013 Royal Caribbean and other cruise companies use images of excursions in pristine waters in their marketing campaigns. However these cruise companies are illegally dumping in the waters they are using in their marketing campaigns. Oceana, an organization that campaigns to protect and restore the world’s oceans performed an analysis on illegal dumping by cruise companies, compiled from reports by the Environment Protection Agency and the cruise industry (Johnson, T. & Arnold, D., 2007, p. 554). The research shows that the typical cruise ship can produce up to 30,000 gallons of sewage a day (Johnson, T. & Arnold, D., 2007, p. 554). Also known as “black water” it may or may not be treated before being dumped into the ocean (Johnson, T. & Arnold, D., 2007, p. 554). Water produced from laundries, showers, kitchens, and engine operations, also known as “gray water” generates more than 200,000 gallons daily (Johnson, T. & Arnold, D., 2007, p. 554). Add in the oily bilge and ballast water and other debris, multiply the output by the number of ships plying the oceans, and it is easy to see the pollution problem and the harm being done to the fragile coastlines and reef ecosystems (Johnson, T. & Arnold, D., 2007, p. 554). With cruise companies using images of excursions in pristine waters in their marketing campaigns, they should have more respect for the oceans’ life. Despite multiply fines...

...Parents educate and increase letter acknowledgment, number abilities, perusing aptitudes to their young kids at home. Specially parents who did well in school themselves by and large have the devices to help their youngsters and model practices that prompt accomplishment in school. Then again, numerous low-financial status folks experience the ill effects of low education levels and will probably be not able to furnish their kids with advancing encounters that can prompt achievement in school(Alexander, Entwisle, Olson, 2007). As understudies get more established, the accomplishment crevice extends. Fairchild (2002) reports that at the point when low-wage understudies enter fifth grade they are up to two years behind their associates of higher financial status in perusing appreciation and perusing acknowledgment aptitudes.Arithmetic calculation was significantly more powerless to learning misfortune over the mid-year than perusing. Understudies are well on the way to overlook aptitudes kept up through reiteration for example, math certainties and calculation, while ideas are for the most part kept up at a higher level. In every one of the studies looked into there was a consistent decrease in accomplishment from third evaluation on. Understudies from low financial gatherings appeared considerably bigger decreases in accomplishment scores in perusing and dialect...

...Assignment 2: External and Internal Environments Professor Rufus Robinson February 2, 2014 Business 499 The industry that I chose to research is the travel and cruise ship industry. The cruise industry is a small part of the travel/leisure industry. The U.S. cruise industry has experienced substantial growth in recent years. Nationwide, direct spending by cruise lines and passengers increased from $9.4 billion to $14.7 billion, (56%) between 2000 & 2004. Including multiplier effects, the U.S. cruise industry supported 315,830 jobs and provided $12.4 billion in wages and salaries in 2004. In recent years, the cruise industry has seen remarkable growth in the ports of Bar Harbor and Portland, Maine. Bar Harbor hosted 76 cruise ship visits in 2005, a 36 percent increase above the 56 ships that came to town in 2001. According to Portland’s Seaport Statistics, Maine’s largest city hosted over 40,000 cruise ship passengers in 2001 and 2002, up from about 14,000 passengers in 1999. Portland welcomed 45,225 cruise ship passengers in 2005. Cruise ship passengers provide a stimulus to the local retail economy of host ports. Todd Gabe and Thomas Allen: http://umaine.edu/centro/files/2011/07/ME-Cruise-Ships-2005.pdf Cruise lines are differentiated according to the market that they serve. The industry is divided into three different segments, luxury, premium and contemporary. The luxury segment caters wealthier clientele and the price starts at more than $500 daily...
