IT HARDLY IS NEWS THAT THE EMERGENCE IN THE ASIA/PACIFIC REGION of multinational low-cost carriers modeled on the leading LCCs in North America and Europe has transformed and reinvigorated the inter-Asia travel market. But while most of the attention is focused on the impact these upstarts are having on major network/flag carriers, a less public battle is going on as Asia's niche airlines - SilkAir, Nok Air and Bangkok Airways, for example - find their space being challenged by the low-fare wave as well.
Neither full-service nor LCC, this band of carriers has fulfilled a role somewhat analogous to the holiday and charter airline segment in Europe, albeit on a much smaller scale. Some are standalone entities plying short-haul routes with turboprop and small jet aircraft. Others exist as part of a major airline organization, flying the last leg of a transcontinental journey into an Asia/Pacific vacation destination. The question is how long they can continue in their role in the face of changing travel patterns and consumer behavior brought on by LCCs, the Internet and rising GDPs.
A key year for them is 2015, when Southeast Asia's Open Sky Agreement comes into effect, allowing unlimited flights to all 10 ASEAN members: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Any protections they enjoy from restrictive bilaterals will disappear and they will be fully exposed to aggressive competition from today's batch of LCCs and future new entrants.
Perhaps Thailand presents the best microcosm of the wider challenges facing niche airlines. When Thai AirAsia was launched in 2004 with the political support of the government, Thai International Airways, itself government-owned, responded by establishing Nok Air, in which it holds a controlling 39% stake. But as so often happens in such situations (think
British Airways
and Go or Continental Airlines and CALite), Nok Air and its parent were more at war with each other than with the new entrant. While Thai AirAsia has come from nothing to operate a fleet of 19 new Airbus A320s serving 24 domestic and international destinations, Nok Air has just 10 aging Boeing 737-400s and two ATR 72s serving 17 domestic points.
The future for Nok may be a bit rosier. CEO Patee Sarasin told eTN in 2009 that the airline, which at the time was carrying fewer than 2 million passengers a year, had "buried the hatchet" with its owner and the two now had common goals. "It is true that we had difficulties in the past to cooperate as we lacked a common vision," he said. "We are now ready to cooperate again."
Prior to the makeup, Thai was considering selling its interest in Nok or assuming 100% control to make it a more effective competitor to Thai AirAsia, although in actuality a takeover might not have been possible owing to the refusal of other shareholders to sell. Part of the new agreement was a realignmen.

ssignment 2 Capital BudgetingFutronics Inc. is a $2 billion fir.docxboadverna
ssignment 2: Capital Budgeting
Futronics Inc. is a $2 billion firm that sells communications services. Founded in 1937, Futronics has provided consumer products, as well as government systems and services, for well over half a century. Due to a sharp increase in competition, flattened sales, and external economic conditions, Futronics is implementing a corporate overhead reduction program. The proposal is to replace the company’s central office stores with outside vendors. The investment will cost $1,000,000 and yield incremental cash flows of $450,000 in year one (1), $350,000 in year two (2), $300,000 in year three (3), and $250,000 in year four (4). There is no salvage value of the asset, and the firm has a cost of capital of 8%.
Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
Calculate the net present value, internal rate of return, and simple payback. Next, determine the effect that each of the three (3) values will have on the company.
Explain one to two (1-2) investment gains that the company could achieve by outsourcing the central office functions. Focus on the company’s potential to reduce overhead and still maintain or even improve the quality of its products.
Discuss one (1) capital budgeting method that would be most effective for the company. Next, discuss one (1) capital budgeting method that would have the least value for the company as compared to others. Provide a rationale for your response.
Use at least one (1) quality reference.

Spain is a country full of hundreds of exuberant celebrations, holid.docxboadverna
Spain is a country full of hundreds of exuberant celebrations, holidays, and festivals that happen throughout the year. The unique characteristic of how these people are passionately dedicated to their customs and celebrations is second to none. From small mountain villages to the busy city streets of Madrid, these festivals take place, fueled by religious and cultural origins. The villages and cities have their own festivals in addition to the numerous national holidays, and as one can imagine, there are many "days off" on the Spanish calendar. The beauty of seeing entire towns and cities participate in one same celebration is a symbol of the passion and unity the Spanish have in regards to their festivities.
In contrast, our Great American Melting pot has National Holidays and other celebrations that are carried out, yet we all have our own twist on how or why we celebrate. Some people do not celebrate certain holidays and have personal reasons for or against recognizing and participating in certain National Holidays. Our traditions are no less firm and many of us are very passionate about our celebrations, yet the unity and sameness of how customs are practiced is varied. This parallels with the very first forum we had on Spanish greetings. We discussed how the Spanish greet, and how they all greet this same way. Every time. Again, here in the US, we have greeting customs that vary from a handshake to a pat on the back, with or without eye contact, sometimes non-verbal, sometimes with no touching at all, and other times with a nod and smile.
Greetings and celebrations in the US vs other countries are indicators of how diverse our population is. Americans have varied beliefs, religions, practices and customs. We often celebrate similar holidays but for different reasons and in different ways. The "New World" is certainly a melting pot, and is different from countries like Spain where traditions run deep and are nationally celebrated, customs are very similarly practiced and generally done so with one same common reason and purpose. There is no right or wrong in this contrast, just a difference that points to our unique patchwork that is "American life."
Keeping in theme with the topic of Spain's celebrations, your assignment is to research one celebration in Spain that you have never heard about. Find out the following information:
What is the celebration/festival?
What is the origin and reason for the celebration/festival?
Who participates? Where does it take place??
How is this festival celebrated? (What does it look like to be there among the participants?)
Why did this celebration get your attention and would you like to participate in it?
Think about a celebration or holiday you celebrate here in the US and compare and contrast how and why your celebration is similar and/or different than the celebration you are presenting. Don't just clue into obvious differences, but think about the reasons, meaning, and purpose along with t.

Soon after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush admini.docxboadverna
Soon after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration developed a plan for holding and interrogating captured prisoners. They were sent to a prison inside a U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on land leased from the government of Cuba. Since 2002, over 700 men have been detained at Gitmo. Most have been released without charges or turned over to other governments. In 2011, Congress specifically prohibited the expenditure of funds to transfer Gitmo prisoners to detention facilities in the continental United States, making it virtually impossible to try them in civilian courts. As of April 2012, 169 remained in detention at Gitmo (Sutton, 2012).
An assumption made by the Bush administration in selecting this location was that it was beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. The administration wanted to avoid any judicial oversight of how it handled detainees, characterized as enemy combatants. A possible legal challenge to indefinite detention with no formal charges or judicial proceedings might arise from the habeas corpus provision of the Constitution.
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Under this provision, persons detained by the government are entitled to a judicial hearing to determine if there is any legal basis for their detention. Some legal commentators refer to the right of habeas corpus as the "great writ of liberty" because it is a prisoner's ultimate recourse to an impartial judge who can review the possibility that he is being held illegally by the executive (e.g., the police or the military). In nations that do not honor habeas corpus, people simply disappear into prisons without ever having their day in court.
Several controversial Supreme Court cases have come out of Gitmo. One fundamental question that has been debated, but not clearly resolved, is to what extent the war on terror justifies the President's indefinite detention of enemy combatants without the possibility of the minimal judicial review protected by habeas corpus? Another issue in the debate is to what extent Congress must clearly authorize the President to conduct extra-judicial detentions in order for them to be legal? In 2008, the Supreme Court’s decision in
Boumediene v. Bush
offered some answers to these questions. However, the deeply divided 5-4 Court and the likelihood of the protracted nature of the war on terror suggest that debate around these important questions will continue. Writing the Final Paper in this course will prepare you to participate intelligently as a citizen in this ongoing debate.
Write an essay about the right of habeas corpus in the context of the war on terror. Your essay should address the following subtopics:
Explain the historical evolution of habeas corpus, including its English and American traditions. The explanation of its evolution.

some information In order to recover from a disaster, there are.docxboadverna
some information :
In order to recover from a disaster, there are different factors would support like; how the organization is prepared for the disaster, At what degree the disaster is, and the communication level used among the teams and other individuals ……etc.
Communication is essential and playing a major role in disaster recovery attempt, it might lead to success or failure all depends on how accurate and timely is the level of communication used. Organizations use a Notification Directory (ND), which is a directory has a list of important contacts for individuals involved or needed to the disaster recovery. These individuals could be team members who are the team responsible for the disaster recovery and other teams and sub teams. Those could be the management of the organization top level all the way down to governmental departments outside the organization like the fire department. The list also can include vendors and other representatives. Communication between these individuals in an effective, timely and accurate way leads to overcome the disaster and recover it.
There are several purposes for Notification Directory summarized as follows:
To be the connecting bridge to notify involved people to the disaster or disaster recovery process in an effective way.
Facilitate the communicating between the disaster team and other teams to maintain recovery process by providing a timely and accurate updates.
Creating a path for the lists of contacts for which is important to call first than others.
Notification Directory is notifying individuals involved and important to the disaster recovery process. However, Organizations must take a sort of procuration by not relying on one or few individuals to contact because it could be risky. So keeping on notifying all individuals involved and making sure the communication level is tied enough to maintain the recovery process is essential. Communication has to deliver a timely, accurate and effective updates depending on the kind of the disaster occurred. Some disasters to be measures as small and some as massive so the directory have to contain an expansion of the group of whom to contact or notify accordingly. In addition, various methods of notification is critical and her are examples:
Couple of emails, Different phone numbers, Cellular number and Conference Call Bridge.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

IT HARDLY IS NEWS THAT THE EMERGENCE IN THE
ASIA/PACIFIC REGION of multinational low-cost carriers
modeled on the leading LCCs in North America and Europe has
transformed and reinvigorated the inter-Asia travel market. But
while most of the attention is focused on the impact these
upstarts are having on major network/flag carriers, a less public
battle is going on as Asia's niche airlines - SilkAir, Nok Air and
Bangkok Airways, for example - find their space being
challenged by the low-fare wave as well.
Neither full-service nor LCC, this band of carriers has fulfilled
a role somewhat analogous to the holiday and charter airline
segment in Europe, albeit on a much smaller scale. Some are
standalone entities plying short-haul routes with turboprop and
small jet aircraft. Others exist as part of a major airline
organization, flying the last leg of a transcontinental journey
into an Asia/Pacific vacation destination. The question is how
long they can continue in their role in the face of changing
travel patterns and consumer behavior brought on by LCCs, the
Internet and rising GDPs.
A key year for them is 2015, when Southeast Asia's Open Sky
Agreement comes into effect, allowing unlimited flights to all
10 ASEAN members: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos,
Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and
Vietnam. Any protections they enjoy from restrictive bilaterals
will disappear and they will be fully exposed to aggressive
competition from today's batch of LCCs and future new
entrants.
Perhaps Thailand presents the best microcosm of the wider
2. challenges facing niche airlines. When Thai AirAsia was
launched in 2004 with the political support of the government,
Thai International Airways, itself government-owned,
responded by establishing Nok Air, in which it holds a
controlling 39% stake. But as so often happens in such
situations (think
British Airways
and Go or Continental Airlines and CALite), Nok Air and its
parent were more at war with each other than with the new
entrant. While Thai AirAsia has come from nothing to operate a
fleet of 19 new Airbus A320s serving 24 domestic and
international destinations, Nok Air has just 10 aging Boeing
737-400s and two ATR 72s serving 17 domestic points.
The future for Nok may be a bit rosier. CEO Patee Sarasin told
eTN in 2009 that the airline, which at the time was carrying
fewer than 2 million passengers a year, had "buried the hatchet"
with its owner and the two now had common goals. "It is true
that we had difficulties in the past to cooperate as we lacked a
common vision," he said. "We are now ready to cooperate
again."
Prior to the makeup, Thai was considering selling its interest in
Nok or assuming 100% control to make it a more effective
competitor to Thai AirAsia, although in actuality a takeover
might not have been possible owing to the refusal of other
shareholders to sell. Part of the new agreement was a
realignment of missions, with Nok shrinking its route network
to only serve domestic destinations along with cooperation on
schedules, distribution, marketing and loyalty programs.
The impact was immediate: Nok Air's 2010 passenger count was
3.1 million, with $128 million in revenue yielding a $20 million
profit, according to data from the Centre for Asia Pacific
Aviation. Although these figures are well behind Thai AirAsia,
which carried 5.7 million passengers, generating revenues of
$402 million and a $92.4 million net profit, they are improved
significantly from Nok's 2009 results. For 2011 it is forecasting
a further lift of 22% in passengers to 3.8 million and a 47%
3. jump in revenue to $175 million. Growth and fleet renewal are
now front and center.
The airline, which operates from Bangkok's old Don Muang
Airport, added four new destinations in April. Last year it took
over three routes from Thai. Also on the agenda is expansion
later this year of the secondary regional network with the
addition of four ATR 72-500s leased from Nordic Aviation
Capital. It is discussing the lease of seven 737-800s from 2012
as part of a conversion program to phase out its -400 Classics.
With Nok Air and Thai at peace and the former looking after
domestic destinations, the parent did a deal last August with
Tiger Airways to form Thai Tiger Airways to compete head-to-
head with Thai AirAsia on international routes.
Supply Chain
Bangkok Airways' niche strategy is to control as much as
possible of the journeys of high-yield tourists brought in via
partnerships with Air France, Air Berlin, Etihad Airways and
EVA Air. International tourists make up 80% of the airline's
business, and while it has shelved plans for long-haul
international operations, it is looking at Australia along with a
return to Japan and China in the near term. Closer to home,
flights to Malaysia are on the agenda for 2012.
BW, whose origin dates back to 1968, has nine A320s and eight
ATR 72-500s serving eight domestic and eight regional
international destinations. India has become a near-term focus
after ASEAN's free trade area agreement with that country in
2010. Operations to Bangalore started in April and Chennai will
follow in 2012. Services have been increased to daily to
Mumbai, and New Delhi is on the radar.
Interestingly, the carrier has built three airports in Thailand -
Samui, opened in 1989, Sukhothai (1996) and Trat (2002). Its
hubs are Bangkok and the exotic resort of Koh Samui. A private
airline, it carried 2.6 million passengers in 2010 and posted a
profit of $23.3 million on revenues of $276.6 million. This year
it expects a far more bullish outcome with passenger numbers
up 19% to 3.1 million and revenues growing 28.2% to $352
4. million.
With some upbeat results under its belt, an IPO is on the radar.
Late last year, President Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth told the
Bangkok Post that "next year should be an exceptionally good
one for us barring any detrimental events such as renewed
political turmoil. There's no set timeframe for an IPO, but we're
thinking maybe in three years, as we must show continued
profitability to meet set prerequisites."
Another Thai carrier, Orient Thai Airlines, which has had mixed
fortunes over the years, ordered 12 98-seat Sukhoi Superjets
last November, apparently on extremely favorable terms, to
better position itself to compete with LCCs and carve out a
stronger niche for itself. The small airline has been in the
spotlight over alleged safety deficiencies yet has managed to
stay aloft. In September 2007 an MD-82 of subsidiary One-
Two-Go crashed at Phuket in a storm, killing 89. In July 2008
Orient Thai and its subsidiaries were suspended from flying for
30 days owing to an alleged poor maintenance record, while the
EU banned One-Two-Go from flying to Europe (the ban later
was lifted). Its 10-aircraft fleet is made up of MD-80s and MD-
90s along with 747-300s and -400s that perform domestic
services and one international route to Hong Kong plus mainly
Hajj charters.
Delivery of the first two Superjets will occur in November with
all 12 in service by 2014. They will both replace older types and
enable expansion, although that will not involve One-Two-Go,
which was shut down by the parent last year.
The flightpath for SilkAir, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Singapore Airlines, is brighter, according to Peter Harbison,
executive chairman of Sydney-based CAPA. "SilkAir is doing
very well as a regional feeder for Singapore Airlines with a
premium product," he says. It has 18 A320s and will receive
three more this year and a further three by the end of 2013. It
serves 31 of 50 short-haul destinations for SIA Group and its
average sector length is just 955 km. While this may be short, it
does stretch its legs to Chengdu, Chongqing and Kunming in
5. central China as well as Xiamen and Shenzhen north of Hong
Kong. India is also a big destination with services to six
southern cities.
Harbison believes that SilkAir, which operates from the same
terminals as its parent at Changi rather than the LCC terminal,
plays a vital role for the overall network as SIA has no single-
aisle equipment. It flies to holiday destinations such as Phuket,
Penang and Langkawi but also largely has replaced SIA on
services to Kuala Lumpur since AirAsia entered the route.
Less clear is whether the dividing line between SilkAir and LCC
Tiger Airways, in which SIA Group holds a 34.4% stake, can be
maintained. Whether or not SIA has kept the cat on a short leash
- both sides deny it - the fact is that Tiger operates just 15
A320s out of Singapore and a further 11 in Australia, although
it has 43 on order. Its JV with Thai Airways and its purchase of
a 33% stake in Philippines-based SEAir suggests it may be
ready to roar.
Back Where It Started
In the birthplace of Asia's LCC movement, Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia Airlines finally is reacting by turning its niche
regional airline Firefly into an aggressive low-cost competitor
to AirAsia. Firefly, which launched in 2007, operates seven
ATR 72s and three 737s and is based at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah
Airport in Subang just 30 min. from downtown Kuala Lumpur as
well as having a series of secondary hubs such as Penang. Late
last year it announced that it would acquire 30 737-800s over
five years and concentrate more on services from Kuala Lumpur
International to take on AirAsia. Nonetheless, it has used its
downtown location well and operates flights to Singapore seven
times daily with ATR 72s and to Penang 11 times daily. In all it
serves 19 destinations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and
Singapore.
Is it possible that niche airlines in the region can find a peaceful
coexistence with LCCs? Possibly, but the experience in North
America, Australia and Europe suggests it will be difficult.
Following deregulation, most US charter carriers folded as
6. travelers and tour organizers found fares just as low on the
major network airlines. Wardair, a popular Canadian charter
carrier, tried to address the problem after Canadian deregulation
by entering the scheduled market but could not make the
transition. Australia's East West Airlines did not survive
deregulation in the 1990s, caught as it was between Ansett and
Australian/Qantas and without a clearly defined market.
The steady growth of US LCCs contributed greatly to the
demise of Midwest Express (now part of Republic Airways
Holdings' Frontier subsidiary). In Europe, the holiday/charter
segment has taken its knocks from the likes of Ryanair and
easyJet but continues to hold a large share of the market,
although nothing like it enjoyed 20 years ago.
The answer, if one exists, is to identify a new market or find a
fresh way to serve an existing one, as Allegiant Air has done in
the US. With a route network focused on flying from smaller
cites to major vacation destinations with very limited frequency
and rock-bottom costs, Allegiant avoids the pitfalls of trying to
compete head-on with either the network or LCC segment. Time
will tell if such opportunities exist in Asia.
