...Refuelling Schedule for Airports By Kiran R K Jitha Babu Shyam S Sreeraj S CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REFUELLING Refuelling is an important aspect with respect to the airports since it determines the ground time of an aero plane. Aircraft fuelling can take up to 90 minutes of ground time. Hence, precise planning and allocation is absolutely essential. Once a flight lands in an airport it has to be refueled for the next flight. The quantity of fuel required depends on the distance it has to travel to reach the next station and type of flight. Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties. Aviation fuels consist of blends of over a thousand chemicals, primarily Hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics) as well as additives such as antioxidants and metal deactivators, and impurities.

Each space is designed for only carry out orders cutting overhead that may exist in a larger building. The smaller space also allows for an efficient process while making their product. Their weaknesses include a lack of locations to compete with the larger players in the industry.

...Organizational Structure MGT 230 John Jones James Baliey October 6, 2015 The NFL in its entirety is a very complex organization with each team consisting of its own organizational structure. Each team of the NFL is a franchise, the bought a license from the NFL in order to play under the rules and regulations of the league. Each team then gains the perks of being broadcast through the networks contracted by the NFL. The league is also split into two conferences, each with four different divisions based on region: north, south, east, and west. The two conferences stem from a merger of the NFL and AFL that was announced in 1966. . The Constitution and Bylaws of the NFL, as they are today, were set in place in 1970 after the AFL and NFL merged. However, these rules can be amended each year at an annual meeting with a three-fourths vote from the member clubs, or teams. The highest executive in the NFL is the Commissioner, and has the most power within the league. The Commissioner, currently Roger Goodell, has oversight over the entire league as the principal executive officer. Rather than a board of directors, Goodell has final authority in the way the league functions. The voting requirements and procedures for the selection of or successor to the office of Commissioner are determined by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members, or teams, of the league. The group which casts the vote is known as the Executive Committee consisting of one individual to represent each...

My thought process doesn’t allow me to focus on current or past situations, but instead how I will evolve into the Man which I aspire to be. What time is it? 6:00 p.m. on September 4, 2013. Its possibly the best time of the year, football season. The weekends couldn’t get any better than this. A legitimate reason to keep myself indoors. As the sun begins to go down, I start to prep myself for my daily routine as I get ready to head out to the gym, no better way to cap off a long tiring day. Where am I? My home in Miami Gardens, FL, my fortress of solitude. Sitting in front of my TV, catching highlights and newscast from Sports Center and the NFL Network. Anytime now, I should find myself heading out the front door as I get ready to make my way to the gym. What surrounds me? Walls which should have been painted months ago. My high school diploma and my Associates Degree from Miami Dade, a constant reminder that there is still work to be done. I think I somewhat become infatuated and addicted to those things. Right under that, there’s a box of condoms which I keep next to my bed. Somehow, those things have saved me a lot of money and headaches over the years. What are the given circumstances? Well I just started up my own Personal Training Company. The last few months, I’ve been dealing with building the company, while also making time to focus on my Modeling career. Photo-shoots...

...advertisements, being examples of these, are visually satisfying reality altering objects that are finding their way into households across the globe more and more each day via internet and cable television. The reason for this I believe is the diversity of the game developers today. They are targeting audiences of all ages, races, genders, and so much more when they produce and create their games. Electronic Arts is an American game publisher and developer that has perfected over 30 years the art by creating a thriving company basing all of its games off the targeted audience, providing immersing gameplay, as well as the means to get the games out and into the world. This will be my criteria for the 3 game advertisements; Battlefield 3, Madden NFL 25, and Create developed by EA that I will be evaluating. Battlefield 3; a first person shooter produced by Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment also known as “DICE” portrays large scale military firefights and battles, electrifying story mode gameplay, all the while being enhanced by the technological leaps in graphic design. All three of these things can meet the criteria of targeted audiences and the immersing gameplay. Just by watching the very brief launch trailer for the game it is clear that the target audience is young adult males, even more respectfully retired and active duty military. As a former active duty service member, I understand that veterans sometimes feel that rush of adrenaline by firing an M240 Bravo machine gun...

...Comcast and Time Warner Merger One of the largest and most controversial proposed mergers in recent history is the acquisition of Time Warner Cable by Comcast. This proposed acquisition was structured through a friendly agreement between Time Warner Cable and Comcast. Comcast, the initiator of this merger, is set to acquire Time Warner Cable’s eleven million managed service subscribers, Time Warner’s other equity holdings in areas such as Sterling Enterprises and DukeNet Communications, along with it’s local programming and news stations. The proposed method of financing for this acquisition is a stock-for-stock transaction. Through this Comcast will acquire all of Time Warner’s 284.9 million outstanding shares for an equity stake in Comcast amounting to 45.2 billion dollars at the current market value (Comcast 1). In order to address competitive market failure concerns associated with the proposed acquisition, Comcast structured a mutual agreement with competing firm Charter Communications under which Comcast will divest 1.4 million existing Time Warner Cable customers to Charter for cash, along with a trade of 1.6 million customers between Charter and Comcast in order to promote and greater enhance the geographic market presence of both firms (Kang 2). Through this additional action Comcast and Charter seek to improve operational efficiencies, grow customer satisfaction, and better deploy technology in their respective markets (Comcast 1).

...understand the things that your parents worried about as you were growing up that you never understood. So, now with your newborn you head off to the pediatricians office for his or hers first wellness visit to make sure your baby is healthy. As the doctor starts to speak with you about vaccines for your child, you have all these questions going through your mind. You question side effects, vaccine schedules, and most importantly the rumors of mercury in vaccines. There are four types of vaccines for immunizations. Live attenuated, which includes measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined), Varicella (Chickenpox), Influenza (nasal spray), and Rotavirus. The inactivated killed vaccines include Polio (IPV), and Hepatitis A. The Toxoid, which is an inactivated toxin, is part of the DTaP combined immunization of Diphtheria and Tetanus. Last there is the Subunit conjugate vaccines which include Hepatitis B, Influenza(injection), Haemophillius Influenza type B(HIB), Pertussis (part of DTaP combined), Pneumococcal, and meningococcal.

...Abstract Data in regards to the rates of vaccinations among child has been decreasing. The reasons cited by parents are wide with concerns and fears leading to refusal. Healthcare providers play a major role in providing information for patients with questions regarding vaccinations and nurses are often on the front line when it comes to battling the resurgence of diseases such as the measles and pertussis. These providers must be comfortable, and understand the reasoning while discussing the reason for the vaccination, their schedule, and the effects of vaccines. There are several ways nurses and healthcare providers can help reduce the fear, and bring understanding to the parent who may be refusing vaccines. Some factors the nurse is unable to change, however there are ways to be able to make vaccinations more accessible to the whole population. Since vaccinations laws in the US were enacted in the 1960’s and 70’s, childhood vaccinations have been required to occur before beginning school. By the 1980’s all 50 states including DC required vaccinations for entrance into public school. Exemptions could be made for families that made the decision to refuse vaccinations based upon medical reason, religious reason, or personal philosophy (Blendall & Farre, 2012). Rates for non-medical reasons to withhold vaccinations have increased significantly over the past years, despite the evidence that communicable disease have declined, and documented safety...

These reports do not confirm causality but are a point for adverse reactions to be recorded from which the government can follow up on the safety of the reported medicines. Anyone can submit reports to this data base and the following information is from the TGA website: “Each year the TGA receives more than 17,000 reports of suspected adverse events to medicines and vaccines. In 2013 about 55% of these reports came via pharmaceutical companies, 17% from state and territory health departments, 10% from hospitals and hospital pharmacists and the rest from community pharmacists, general practitioners and consumers. The TGA asks for contact details from people making reports so that it can seek further information about suspected adverse events. The TGA does not accept anonymous reports. If you have any concerns about an adverse event it is important to also speak to a health professional.” With reference to comment...

... Morality and Ethicality pertain to the right or wrong conduct of an individual or society. There were many characters in this book that show that their actions are either moral or immoral. Two characters who are the least and most moral are Eli Samuels and Dr. Wyatt. In this book, Dr. Wyatt’s actions were the most moral because he was trying to help people out by genetically manipulating humans to create healthy babies and Eli was the least moral because he destroyed precious life by smashing his and other mother’s experimental eggs from the freezer. Dr. Wyatt’s actions were the most moral because he was helping out struggling people. Ava just wanted to have a baby of her own but it was too risky to have a baby that could be tested positive or negative for Huntington’s disease. Ava Samuels would be feeling really guilty on her part if Eli turned out to be tested positive for Huntington’s disease. Similarly, Many families are unable to have a child because of a fear that their child will be born sick. However, with Dr. Wyatt’s help, she was able to have a Huntington’s disease free baby. Even though the rest of her eggs were stolen and used for experimental purposes, Dr. Wyatt’s only intention was to create more healthy babies before it was too late for other families. “ I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around...

...Bobby Lynch Professor LaPointe English Composition I 14 February 2016 New, Again: The Power of Packaging and its Effect on Consumer Expectations The package containing the video game Madden NFL ’16 contains a single striking image on the front and a plethora of words and pictures on the back. The front contains an action shot of wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior making a one-handed grab, set against the backdrop of a full stadium almost drowned out by the bright lights illuminating it. It has the EA Sports logo in almost the dead center, covering part of Beckham’s body, under which the title is printed across the image in shiny silver lettering. The NFL logo appears four times in this one image; twice on patches on the uniform of Odell Beckham, once in the title of the game, and a final time on a holographic sticker stuck to the front of the game. In the top left corner there is a small image advertising a new game mode called Draft Champions. It contains the Draft Champions logo with the words “All-New Fantasy Mode” surrounding it. On the bottom left is the ESRB rating, E for everyone. All of this is within the parameters of the box, which contains green trim and says Xbox One at the top. The back is much busier, with three separate action shots of football players in various positions. The largest image is a cornerback in a celebratory pose, under which it says, “Your Draft. Your Fantasy.” It then goes on to describe the all new Draft Champions mode, highlighting...
