Technology has really sped up the process of doing business. It used to be we had to pay expensive fees to get thing sent next day shipping or send it in mail. Now it is simple touching a few buttons and the transactions are done. The forms of technology I will talk about are as follows: emails, text messages, conference calls and videoconference. Each one serves a different function in the workplace but the can be paired together to be used as effective means of communication. Email used at the workplace can be used to transmit internally and externally. It also serves as documentation of communication between parties. In the business world of today is works to a business advantage for this reason and it is preferred nowadays of a simple phone call.

...The stench of the young. The moving classroom was filled with it. The surrounding crowd were the producers of said stench. Another name for them would be teenagers. Hormone filled, sex craving teenagers that couldn’t give a single damn what anybody had thought of any of them. He smelt it as he walked into the larger than life van and traded money for a piece of silky paper stating that he was allowed on this particular van at this moment in time. This was routine. He sat down on the seat he claimed as his own, his throne, some might call it. During the process, the man jerked slightly to the left as the bus started gaining momentum. It had begun. Towards the rear end of the bus, there was a man; a tall, slender and sopisticated looking man. What he was doing there was not known to anyone. His looks had made the impression that this tall man was going to work, possibly as an office job. His hairy face and lousy posture could suggest that he did not like the particular job that he held. Surrounding him were the teenagers. What they were doing did not impress the tall man. This had included screaming into his ear holes any names that they had thought of that particular day and spraying their latest up to date ‘smell good powder’ (which clearly does not work) around him. This had not impressed the tall man. The expression upon his face had given the impression that he was bound upon this moving two-story room against his own will. The sex-craving teenagers sensed this upon...

...Memory Slots Located in the upper-right part of the motherboard, the memory slots are used to house the computer’s memory modules. The number of slots can vary, depending on motherboard, from 2, in low-end motherboards, all the way up to 8 memory slots, o our mother board Upgrading only the motherboard will give some performance improvement to a computer system. But the improvement performance will be limited as the motherboard doesn't really improve the overall power of your system. The need for all the different busses on the motherboard is to transfer different data from one part of a computer to another. You can think of a bus as a highway on which data travels within a computer. There can never be one single bus for your motherboard each bus is unique and works for the computer in it’s on way. An internal bus serves as the communication highway of the...

...Strangers are those customers who have not yet had any transaction( interaction ) with a firm and may not even be aware of the firm. Take me as an example, I remembered the first time that set my foot on Brisbane was around 2 years ago, at that time, I have no idea about translink. My homestay dad and housemate told me that I need to buy a go card to take public transportation, which is easy and convenient. My housemate took me had the first experience by public transportation from my place to uni. And she told me I need to learn how to take bus. Believe it or not, at that time, I thought what?! I’m not 3 years old, of course I know how to take it. But it turns out, I do need to learn. I saw my housemate hail to the bus when it comes. And the bus driver say good day to us. It was such a surprise to me, coz in my hometown if we hail, it means we gonna grab a taxi, plus the bus driver rarely say hi to passengers, we don’t have communication btw drivers and passengers, if that happen, we might...

...in the western motif with the goal of maintaining a small-town feel and personality while still serving a population of just short of 100,000 citizens. Passengers who use Clovis Transit fall into three main categories: low income, student, and disabled riders. These riders are considered “transit dependent” which means they have no other choice for transportation beyond the bus and therefore marketing has remained a low priority. The City of Clovis maintains a website that provides access to all its departments including Transit. The Transit department’s website currently contains basic information about the services offered and various forms and documents that can be downloaded by the user. Because the department serves two distinct customer groups, regular fixed-route transit riders and disabled citizens, there is an opportunity to improve the website to and provide the information, products, and access each group needs. Clovis Transit also has a Twitter account but it is not promoted nor used regularly to communicate with followers. Transit riders frequently express their desire for increased communication about their transit options through surveys completed by the city administration. Citizens continue to expect...

...Mapua Institute of Technology Muralla St. Intramuros, Manila School of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management Applying Transportation Systems On San Pedro City, Laguna In Partial Requirements for SVM161 Submitted By: Andrada, Michael Sherwin Sillo, Jerome Submitted To: Prof. Elisier Fantillo Introduction History San Pedro became a town on January 18, 1725, when King Charles II of Spain decreed that the town formerly known as "Tabuko" be a separate town from "Kabullaw" (now known as the city of Cabuyao). By virtue of the last will of Philip V of Spain, Rodriguez de Figueroa or "Don Esteban", a group of Augustinian Fathers gained the ownership of the Tunasán Estate. Later on, San Pedro became an hacienda of Colegio de San José, a group of Jesuits friars who took over the property which now is known as "San Pedro Tunasán". "Tunasán" literally means "a place where there is Tunás" (Opuntia tuna), a medicinal plant abundant on shoreline area. During that period, agriculture, fishing, duck raising, fruit trees, sampaguita were the main source of income of its residents. This period was highlighted by the growing tenant/landlord dispute. The tenants of Hacienda San Pedro Tunasán fought for their birthrights over their ancestral lands. This struggle took almost 423 years of unsuccessful resistance to Colegio de San José, and in 1938, the government bought the homesites of the San Pedro Tunasán Hacienda from the Colegio for re-sale...

...airlines and other inter-city bus companies such as Nakedbus. The company’s long run success has lead managers to keep InterCity’s business model relatively consistent. However, this approach will not ensure a sustainable competitive advantage in the upcoming future. In order to compete with other companies changes will need to be made to the existing business model. This report will complete basic analyses including; customer, competitor, industry and SWOT. These analyses will lead to the discovery of critical success factors. Combined, these factors and analysis will allow future recommendation to be made in relation to the marketing mix. Strategies will be indentified which include, retaining low pricing, promotions to students, providing an online feedback system, focus on upcoming technologies and maintaining bus quality. Industry Analysis In order to understand the industry, analysis of the four factors used in PEST will be discussed briefly. Political/Legal Regulations and road rules are the main political/ legal issues in the transport industry, such as driver hours, bus facilities, and speed limits.

...CASE STUDY Perception of Current and Future Private Vehicle Owners to Road Congestion Organizational Communication 109.1 NICDAO, Gian Paolo G. PERCEPTION OF CURRENT AND FUTURE PRIVATE VEHICLE OWNERS TO ROAD CONGESTION INTRODUCTION Living 25 minutes away from school is a privilege. You find yourself thinking that you’ll make it to school, despite waking up an hour before your first class. You take your time in the shower, you even cook your own breakfast. You then walk to the jeepney terminal and looming over the horizon, you are greeted by a bridge filled with myriad of vehicles, each of them slowly crawling to get to the other side. That, and the sounds of horns blaring and the voice in your head swearing and saying you can’t make it. This is what mornings are like in Manila. It may be a fact not evident to some, but the intensity of Metro Manila traffic now has never been experienced in years. There are different factors that lead to road congestion, specifically infrastructure, law enforcement, among others. The increasing number of motor vehicles (MVs) such as cars, UVs, SUVs, trucks, buses, contribute to this road congestion. According to the Land Transportation Office (LTO), in 2013 alone, 1,356, 217 new privately owned cars registered, adding to 5, 317, 598 already existing private ones. These numbers show that private vehicles compose the bulk of MVs on the road. This case study aims to provide insight as to what the current and...

...Waste Land" by Alan Paton Describe a surprising ending and analyse how it links to the rest of the text. “The Waste Land” by Alan Paton, is about a man who is on a bus. When he gets off the bus, he is attacked by several young men and it is suggested that the men want his purse which contained his wages. This short story has a surprising ending and it helps the reader understand other parts of the text that foreshadowed the ending. “The Waste Land” is very surprising as it ends with the man’s son having been killed in the incident. The short story ends with the narrator realizing that one of the men that have just attacked him was in fact his very own son and that he has just killed his son. When the gang dumps Freddy’s body under the lorry, where the man is, the man moved away from the body as if not wanting to accept his son’s death. The narrator displays the father’s shock and mental agony. This ending is linked to the title as “The Waste Land” suggests that the setting is very desolate, people are desperate and that the people will do anything to help themselves in their time of need even betray their own family. This is shown when the man says “People, arise! The world is dead.” This illustrates how the defender thinks that the world is corrupt. The attackers having waited for him by the bus stop shows that they knew that he would be there thus supports his son having a part in the gang. The ending is foreshadowed by the gang waiting for him to arrive, which shows...
