Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Cancellation of U.S. Air Force Tanker Program. It needs to be at least 2750 words.

The program however has difficulty getting off the ground and had undergone several calls for Requests for Proposals (RFPs) as controversies and contentious issues regarding contracts and acquisitions had long riddled. In 2004, the program was compelled to shut down when the main players in the negotiation were revealed to be involved in highly unethical issues and in 2008, the program was re-shelved one more time as one of the parties in the negotiations filed a bidding protest with GAO. At present, the AF prepares for its third attempt to hold a bidding of the project.

The US Air Force tankers are aircrafts whose primary function is to refuel other aircrafts like fighters, bombers, surveillance aircrafts and other planes used by the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps while those aircrafts are airborne. The importance of the tankers is that they obviously give US aircrafts power even beyond US borders because they allow these aircrafts to go longer distances and prolong their airborne time. Aerial fueling capability therefore is of critical importance to the country to sustain its superior aerial firefighting and firepower capability in the world (O’Rourke 2009 1).

The present tanker fleet of the US Air Force consists of 453 KC-135 Stratotankers (see Fig. 1) built by Boeing, many of which were acquired by the Air Force (AF hereafter) as early as 1957 with the latest batch acquired in 1967. The average age of the Stratotankers is 47 years old. A much younger model, the KC-10 was also acquired by the AF in 1981 but there are only 59 of them (O’Rourke 2009 2-3).

US policymakers had been concerned with the ageing state of the Stratotankers since the 1990s but it wan in 2002 that concrete steps were taken to remedy the situation. US Congress passed the Leasing Authority Act 2002 which authorized the AF to lease 100 Boeing 767s for a period not more than ten years and modify them into aerial fuel tankers. The

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Change & Continuity in Contemporary Business. It needs to be at least 3500 words.

It also enthused the workforce with renewed vision of the company and provided clarity to them with regard to their roles in the makeover of the organization. Yet, the transformation could be called only a part success since this transformation has not solved the company’s major problem of ageing median age of its customers. The company would be again forced to brainstorm in order to tackle this situation. In the hurry to tackle immediate crisis, it has not made any provision for future market changes. It is yet to act as per the perceived changes in the coming years.

Eventually, the report recommends that Harley Davidson should seek its future in newer market segments with new products. Among its employees, it should train and guide a chosen set of people to catch the signs of advancing change in the market scenario and take steps to prepare accordingly. It also recommends the organization to diversify in other automobile segments such as cars and commercial vehicles.

As evident from the time bar above, Harley Davidson saw lots of ups and downs before it entered the transformation phase. Harley Davidson, in its early days was the only motorcycle manufacturer in America and ruled the motorcycle market. However, it was caught unawares when foreign entrants flooded the market with innovative, quality and affordable products. The Japanese players catered to newer market segments untapped by Harley. The change in management of the company and the new management’s haste to catch up with the competitors added to the woes of the company which was already suffering from declined market share. The company slumped to its lowest in terms of market share i.e. 23%. It was at this point that few of its managers decided to take over the company. They tried to understand the strengths of the competitors and the weaknesses of their own organization and brought about a fresh insight into work. Under the able leadership

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Canadian Studies. It needs to be at least 750 words.

It, therefore, means that Asians of the Muslim faith, for example, are encouraged to live like they would in their country of origin and so are other ethnicities (Richter, 2011).

On the basis of Multiculturalism, the Canadian Society is today a mosaic of cultures where most immigrants live in homogenous communities around people of their ethnic affiliation, prompting critics to term the policy as a recipe for building ghettos. The mayoral election in Calgary where two of the three leading candidates fit the usual politician stereotype and the third was totally off the mark on ethnic and religious grounds, opened doors to deeper thought on the success or failure of multiculturalism as a Canadian policy.

Even though campaigns for this seat were issue-based, especially on the part of Mr. Nenshi, there were underlying discussions on his faith and whether a person who confesses Islam was suitable for a mayoral seat in a Canadian city.In an interview with The Globe and Mail, a Canadian news outlet, Nenshi said, “It would have been so easy to have an article, just a fun human-interest article in August, about what its like fasting through Ramadan while youre campaigning. What its like at a debate, not drinking water. I didnt do that. I didnt do that because I didnt think it was a relevant question (theglobeandmail.com, 2010).” These sentiments underscored the fact that one is free to practice their faith in Canada without much public scrutiny. If the Nenshi scenario were in the United States, more articles would have been written about his faith and the entire election would have been about religion with less focus on the candidate’s capabilities.

Having come from behind in opinion polls and rallied the whole city behind him, received support from across ethnic and cultural divide, there is evidence that Multiculturalism policy is yielding results in Canada. According to Day (2000),

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Champions of the world by Maya Angelou and Amy Tan. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

During this period, American society was marred by racism, which unfortunately was an acceptable practice at the time. The whites considered themselves superior than other minority cultures particularly the African American cultures. Maya’s story is a description of the audience listening to a boxing match and their reaction as they listen to the match. This description and narration portray the magnitude of the importance of this match to the African American community, as winning it would prove a point to the whites, but losing it would mean more doom on them. However, the description does not go in detail to bring out what how this boxing&nbsp. match affects her as a person, and what meaning it holds for the audience. She merely describes the audience’s reactions and emotions as they listen to the match. Hence, her work on the “Champions of the World” gives the reader a feeling of nervousness and excitement from the description and narration, although it does not depict whether Maya feels isolated from the dominant culture.&nbsp.Fish Cheeks, by Amy Tan is set in California in the 1960s. Tan, who is Chinese, is ashamed about the Chinese culture. Amy Tan develops a crush on a boy by the name Robert and coincidentally her Mother invites the boy’s family over for Christmas. She feels embarrassed of her Chinese Culture, when her mother prepares Chinese dishes for the visitors and relatives who came. Amy Tan feels embarrassed because according to her, their culture is inferior to that of the Americans.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Can the United States Continue to Run Current Account Deficits Indefinitely. It needs to be at least 250 words.

ates like China and Japan have afforded the United States with inflows that have made it possible for the United States to increase its current account deficit.

However, analysts are of the opinion that the rising level of United States current account deficit may become unsustainable and risky thus make the large foreign investors consider shifting their investments in the United States loan securities away to other nations. It is also likely that the consequence of the persistent United States foreign debt may be making it a politically weak nation and reliant to large investors like China.

According to Carbaugh (2011), the purchase of the United States current account deficit can continue indefinitely because the desire of foreigners for the American loan assets may not stop. The United States has a history of having run current account deficits continuously from 1820 to 1875 (McKinnon, 2001). Its economic growth by then solely remained reliant to foreign debts. Furthermore, the United States saving rate is lower than that of its main trading partners like China and Japan. All these factors make the United States current deficit likely to be persistent indefinitely as long as they remain

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Challenges in the Path to Self-Actualization. It needs to be at least 500 words.

Abeel is a gifted student, but because of her learning disability, she is filled with panic and anxiety. but through her determination and social support, she deals with her feelings of isolation. I find it very meaningful that despite being diagnosed with dyscalculia, Abeel manages to find inspiration through her creative talent and the support of her school and teachers. Writing provides her an outlet for her genius and anxieties. I am impressed that she does not let her disability become her personality. I can relate to her feelings of social detachment. Before, I used to be very shy, but because of my family’s support and after finding good friends, I learned to enhance my social skills. Like Abeel, it is important to not be stunted by life’s challenges. Instead, people should manage to use them as learning experiences and sources of strength. Abeel helps me become a better teacher in the classroom by encouraging me to improve my skills and knowledge, so that I can support students like her. As a future teacher, I want to help both gifted and learning disabled students to attain their self-actualization. The meaning of self-actualization depends on their dreams and goals in life. Abeel’s story sensitizes me to the unique difficulties of her learning condition. As a teacher, I should be able to encourage her, so that she will not lose hope in herself. I must also be prepared in handling cases like her, which I will soon encounter as a teacher. Abeel inspires people with learning disabilities like her, as well as people without these problems. As a person, I can relate to her desire of attaining her highest potential, however challenging it might be. As a teacher, she inspires me to be prepared in responding to students with special needs like her. Abeel reminds the audience that every dream can come true, as long as they tell themselves that they can and will achieve them.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Buying Decisions of the Parents. It needs to be at least 6250 words.

Download file to see previous pages…

Older children exerted greater influence on their parents. a child’s gender was not a significant factor that influenced their parents’ buying decisions. Researchers have suggested that, the “family as a consuming and decision making unit is a central phenomenon in marketing and consumer behavior” (Commuri&amp. Gentry, 2000, p. 1). Since the late 1960’s, marketing managers have identifiedthe central role of the family in decision making and consumption of products (Assael, 1998).family units havebeen at the center of interest of marketers and academics in the line of marketing (Moore, Wilkie, &amp. Lutz, 2002. Shoham&amp.Dalakas, 2005).Joint decisions by the consumer and family members work toward influencing or modifying the desire and disposition of the other family member toward a certain consumer good (Foxall, 1977). A family unit had an intermediating function,and also was the point of integration of an individual within the precincts of a larger society. Being the primary consumption unit, the family was also the primary target for all the available products and their categories (Schiffman&amp.Kanuk, 1983). The family unit might be defined as a group of people residing together who might be related by marriage, blood, or adoption (Loudon &amp. Della Bitta, 1993). A nuclear type of family would consist of a husband, a wife, and their children. An extended family included the nuclear family members and other relatives. During the course of a single day there will be multiple decisions made by family members (nuclear or extended), and in a majority of the cases the wife or the husband will be the prevailing decision maker within the family. Commuri&amp.Gentry Many researchers had focused their studies “on family consumer behavior and a majority of the literature has been on decision role — who makes what decisions” (Commuri&amp.Gentry, 2000, pp. 8). Other researchessuggeststhat the influence of the wife and the husband would most likely change according to the (a) product types being considered for consumption, (b) the step reached in the process of decision making,(c) purchase influence type, and (d) the basic characteristics of the particular family that was making the decision (Assael21998). According to other research, the type of product under consideration was divided into four main categories (see Figure 1). These were: Product types for which the husband had the major influence (Mowen, 1995). Product types for which the wife had the dominant influencing factor (Mowen, 1995). Product types for which the decisions can be taken by either the wife or the husband and for which either spouse can be the dominant factor, called the automaticdecision type (Assael,21998). Product types where the husband and wife go in for a joint decision,called the syncretic decision type (Assael,21998). Figure 1. The family decision making proces. Adapted from Consumer behavior and marketing action(p. 462), by H.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Central bank independence and economic performance. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

Download file to see previous pages…

For instance under the floating exchange rate regime, protecting the value of the domestic currency against US Dollar and other international currencies calls for vigilance and continuous monitoring of the world economy through various economic indices. Regulating money supply and interest rates are governed by several domestic and international factors as well. Therefore, independence of the central bank is necessary to deal with these problems effectively without any interference in the regulatory process. However, the level of independence varies from country to country based on the political and economic system prevailing in the countries. Long ago in 1929 Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England wrote: “I look upon the Bank as having the unique right to offer advice and to press such advice even to the point of nagging: but always, of course, subject to the supreme authority of the government” (Toniolo, G. 1988 p. 47). This statement underlines the need for independence as well as its limitation. The role of central bank Central bank’s monetary policies have different impact on different economic variables of the economy. Increase in money supply with or without decrease in interest rates could trigger inflation in the economy. Therefore, careful analysis of the economic indicators is important in taking appropriate action by the central bank. For instance, inflation in this case could affect consumption thereby demand for the products. At the same time, this could increase capital investment and results in employment generation. Stability in exchange rate is another important factor which could affect inflation in the country and foreign direct investments in the country which will have…

This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of central bank in terms of economic performance of the nation. Influence of the political independence of central bank operations in context of achieving its objectives is under review.

In order to achieve economic growth in a country, formation of capital is essential for fresh investments in the economy. Increase in aggregate demand in the country is an important factor in this regard for attracting investment of capital in new projects. Liquidity in the system as well as interest rates should be monitored and regulated on a continuous basis by the central bank to provide good environment for capital investment and consumption which in turn will generate demand for the products. However, the central bank should also ensure that it does not result in overheating of the economy.

Regulating interests and money supply in the economic system is very complicated in the backdrop of technological developments taking place in the world and globalisation of economies.

The independence of the central bank of the county is very important for exercising control over the commercial banks in the country through its monetary policies. The monetary policies need to be complementary to the fiscal policies of the government to achieve its economic objectives. A country with high central bank interference need to introduce reforms to make the institution more independent within the timeframe set for this purpose to improve stability in liquidity and prices.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Businesses and their impact in Spanish speaking countries. It needs to be at least 3750 words.

With the increase in the demands for energy in recent years the government of Mexico has increased its budgeted capital, but due to its high tax burden the company has been forced to depend upon debts to finance the projects. PEMEX has been adversely affected by the increase in oil prices over the years and requires funding to stabilize its position in the market.

The main oil field Cantarell has reached its peak capacity of production and heavy investments is desirable coupled with explorations for new area for oil production as the current capacity of 3.3 million barrels per day would deplete towards the end of this decade. Being heavily taxed, the President of Mexico has relaxed the tax by $2.4 billion to be paid by the company next year. Despite the reserves Mexico has started importing oil at the rate of 374,000 barrels per day in the recent past due to non availability of refining process for oil and related products. The tax break and provision of favorable environment for the oil companies to undertake oil exploration is one of the major steps which the newly appointed President has taken over the period of time. There have been quiet an opposed reaction to the initiative as private investments is deemed to be loss of control over PEMEX. As PEMEX has invested more in oil exploration rather than investing in refineries for a quarter of the century, Mexico now imports 20% of its current capacity of oil and 25% of the natural gas based products.

The aim of the paper is to analyze and understand effect of PEMEX on the Mexican economy and society in general. The paper also analyzes the employment opportunity which private investments create and the favorable business environment for business growth.

Mexico has the second largest oil reserve after Venezuela among the western countries and the country has been ranked among the top five oil producing nations for crude and refined oil production.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Ccccccc. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

It`s essential to ascertain whether the world is actually warming and if humans are to blame or not, and so this paper will investigate the myths as well as known scientific facts regarding certain seemingly murky statements on climate change.

Climate change is undoubtedly all time threat to human survival. The rising sea level, drying of cultivatable land as well as the extreme temperature of the earth are just but some of the climate change effect that threaten human survival, thus, resulting myths should be separated from scientific facts regarding this deadly issue.

Myth: It`s cold outside. Some argue it cant be a planet is warming when their front yards are covered in quite a few feet of snow. They even quote winter has being one of the chilliest. So how is it possible the world is warming?

Science fact: Local temperatures recorded as personal data points offer nothing as far as the long-term trend of the global warming is concerned. The local ups and downs in temperature and weather may conceal a slower-moving uptick in the long-term climate. Scientists depend on changes in the weather over quite a long period of time to obtain a genuine bead on global warming (Robinson, 63-65). Examining the low and high temperature data from previous decades reveals that new record highs happen nearly twice as frequent as new record lows.

Science fact: The sun has revealed a slight cooling trend, whereas the climate of the world has been heating up in the last 36 years of global warming. In the previous century, solar activity may explain certain increase in the global temperatures, but in a comparatively small amount. Solar activity is the activity of suns magnetic field and incorporates magnetic field-powered sunspots as well as solar flares. According to (Bailey, 122-126), the Earth had absorbed 0.58 watts of extra energy per square meter compared to the energy escaped back into the space during the period when solar activity was relatively low (from 2005 to
