Lessons in Life and Marketing Yourself (a.k.a. What I Learned at the River Food Pantry)

Exercises in Life and Marketing Yourself (a.k.a. What I Learned at the River Food Pantry) Last Friday evening I chipped in at the River Food Pantry, the busiest food storeroom in my region. The storeroom circulates 30 thousand pounds of food to 600 families for every week-I ponder 1000 pounds of it, as I was responsible for giving out cabbages. These were not simply conventional cabbages like the ones you find in the market. Some of them were greater than my head and handily gauged 7 pounds. My cabbage volunteer experience showed me numerous exercises about existence and even continues. Here’s some of what I realized: I *do* have time in my life for chipping in, and it feels better. Everything necessary is placing it in my schedule. This time it helped that a gathering of companions all chose to chip in around the same time. Chipping in is significantly progressively fun as a network and when you can go out with companions thereafter! (Perhaps you are lingering something that would complete in the event that you put it in your schedule or potentially made a gathering experience out of it?) When there are little cabbages and large cabbages, the vast majority don't need the enormous cabbages. Yet, when there are just huge cabbages, individuals take the enormous ones. Obviously a few people essentially don’t like cabbage. In any case, if you’re keen on cabbage, the allure of some random one is all in your point of view. (You must make yourself or your item look alluring when contrasted with the various decisions around it.) When told, â€Å"You can have one of everything on this table,† (a table loaded up with berries, pumpkins and potatoes notwithstanding heads of cabbage) individuals regularly skirt the cabbage. Yet, when asked, â€Å"Would you like a cabbage?† the vast majority will take a cabbage. Furthermore, when further offered, â€Å"A huge one?† a great many people will take a major one. This wonder helped me to remember how basic our psyches are. Put anything you desire individuals to see before their noses; cause them to notice it and they will presumably chomp. We people are so suggestible. (This procedure chips away at resumes as well!) Individuals like assortment. On a truck to my in that spot were packs of cut watermelon. Nobody was taking them. Be that as it may, when they were set on a table close to packs of blackberries and individuals were told they could pick two things, they picked assortment: one watermelon and one blackberry rather than 2 blackberries. The watermelon, beforehand undesirable, took off the racks. (Work environments and universities search for assortment as well. You may be the correct fit since you are extraordinary!) Individuals like things that look lovely. About an hour into my day of work, I chose to fire tidying up the cabbages, removing the external leaves, before offering them to clients. The quantity of cabbage takers expanded essentially. (Would you be able to see a ramifications for your pursuit of employment and showcasing archives here?) I like to complete what I began. Considerably after my companions had finished their undertakings, I thought that it was difficult to leave with them until I had given out cabbages to the last supporter. I’m sure another person could have stripped cabbage leaves similarly just as I did, yet for reasons unknown I believed I expected to oversee my business as far as possible. Thus I did. Do you have a convention of chipping in at occasion time? I’d love to hear what it is! Furthermore, maybe this year you can utilize the event as an approach to become familiar with some life exercises just as spread seasonal happiness.

Treaty of Lisbon and 2004 Constitutional Treaty Comparison

Settlement of Lisbon and 2004 Constitutional Treaty Comparison Before thinking about the contrasts between the substance of the Treaty of Lisbon and the bombed 2004 Constitutional Treaty, not least in light of the fact that in the perspectives on numerous this could be a short conversation, it appears to be reasonable to quickly consider why it was felt essential that any change to what was at that point, and in truth despite everything is presently, business as usual was required. At the gathering of Nice, in 2000, an affirmation was made thus, to a limited extent, because of the understanding between Member States that the way ought to be opened for the extension of the Community to permit passage of various new States to the Community[1]. The meeting felt that various focuses should have been thought of and tended to. There were four focuses raised for conversation to be specific: the most effective method to set up and screen a progressively exact delimitation of powersâ between the European Union and Member States, reflecting theâ principle of subsidiarity. the status of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union†¦ a rearrangements of the Treaties†¦ the job of national parliaments in the European architecture.[2] These focuses were considered in December 2001 in Laeken in Belgium where a statement was made in regard of how it was felt the Union expected to continue so as to guarantee a fruitful future[3]. The Laeken Declaration drew profoundly on history and the divisions which had been caused, in the primary, continuously World War. It saw that the future and bound together Europe would erase those divisions and clear a brilliant future for the Union all in all. The resultant Constitutional Treaty set out how it was felt that the Union could continue as a characterized unit. The inclusion of its unexpected disappointment has been far reaching with numerous perspectives communicated as to purposes behind this. Some accepted that it was mistaken to try and think about a record of this sort according to Europe, contending that the circumstance set up worked adequately well[4]. While others were condemning of its substance accepting that it was out of line toward the path if a government Europe and others accepted that its disappointment was the aftereffect of a basic doubt of the Union as entire in numerous part states[5]. Whatever the explanations for its disappointment, and it is probably going to be a mix of the entirety of the communicated sees, the procedure towards a protected archive proceeded. Following the dismissal of the Constitutional Treaty in referenda in France and the Netherlands and the probable inescapable dismissal in different states including perhaps the United Kingdom, an end was set on procedures and a time of reflection was actualized in which Member States were urged to go into discussion and conversation with their residents trying to clear a way advances. This procedure occurred during the rest of 2004 and 2005, and afterward in 2006, Germany was authorized by the European Council to survey the circumstance concerning the Constitutional Treaty. Following this, in June 2007 the ‘Reform Treaty’ was presented and this was created throughout the following year or somewhere in the vicinity and, on the grounds that the European Union Presidency was held by Portugal toward the finish of 2007, was renamed as the Treaty of Lisbon. This settlement like the Constitutional Treaty before it required confirmation by all Member States. This was generally a ccomplished, yet Ireland, the main Member State whose constitution requires a choice before confirming the Treaty, restored a no vote in that submission. The explanations behind this will be talked about underneath, however at the present time the constitution of the European Union, or scarcity in that department, stays as it did in 2000 after the Treaty of Nice. One of the key protests, as referenced above, of the Constitutional Treaty was its suggestions according to a government Europe. Article I-8 of the Treaty accommodated among others the festival of Union Day on ninth May every year. In drafting the Treaty of Lisbon the Council were mindful so as to guarantee that any reference to a protected record was evacuated. There can be no uncertainty that the Treaty of Lisbon makes various key revisions to the EC Treaty. Huge quantities of these anyway are replications of what was at that point contained inside the Constitutional Treaty. One zone where there is astounding consistency between the Constitutional Treaty and the new Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which the Treaty of Lisbon makes instead of the EU Treaty, is that of the job of national parliaments according to the Union. It will be recalled this was one of the key inquiries talked about Laeken and was plainly accepted to be essential in guaranteeing a brought together Europe. Article I-11 of the Constitutional Treaty given that national parliaments would guarantee consistence with the guideline of subsidiarity, a rule which expresses that the European Union will just make a move on issues which it is felt, because of their scale, can't be tended to at a national level. This announcement is moved in practically indistinguishable structure to Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union by Article 1(6) of the Treaty of Lisbon. Article I-18(2) of the sacred bargain required the European Commission to bring to the consideration of national parliaments recommendations to impel an adaptability condition which takes into consideration the selection of measures by the Union where there are deficient powers set up to take into consideration their reception. This announcement is included nearly in exactly the same words into Article 352(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. These are two instances of the nine arrangements contained inside the Constitutional Treaty according to the job of subsidiarity, which have stayed to all reasons unaltered inside the substance of the Treaty of Lisbon. While this isn't the spot for a full conversation on the legitimacy of these arrangements, there is by all accounts little uncertainty that they accommodate a more noteworthy commitment to Union approach making by national parliaments and, related to the arrangements of Article 7(3) of the Protocol on the App lication of the Principles of Subsidiarity and Proportionality in permitting, in specific conditions, national parliaments to veto Union enactment give national parliaments a considerably more critical situation inside the Union’s political procedures. The following territory considered at Laeken was the presentation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Both this and the European Convention on Human rights would have been acknowledged into the European Constitution under Article I-9 of the Constitutional Treaty. Or maybe obviously given the tone of what has gone before both were to turn out to be legitimately restricting after the confirmation of the Treaty of Lisbon. It is fascinating to take note of that the content of the Charter is missing from the Treaty itself, rather it was to be presented in Article 6(1) of the Treaty on European Union. It is fundamental close to address the fourth of the four contemplations of the Laeken assertion before thinking about the third. The Constitutional Treaty contained arrangements enabling the Union skill or to administer in specific zones. These split into two segments elite capability, where just the Union could administer and shared skill in which this capacity is imparted to the part state, giving the Union has not practiced its competence[6]. The wording comparable to these abilities is demonstrative of the degree of progress that occurred between the Constitutional Treaty and the Treaty of Lisbon. Section two of Article 2, in the Treaty on European Union read: ‘The Member States will practice their fitness to the degree that the Union has not practiced its skill. The Member States will again practice their capability to the degree that the Union has chosen to stop practicing its competence.’ This was revised from the accompanying in the Constitutional Treaty: Ã¢â‚¬Ë œThe Member States will practice their skill to the degree that the Union has not worked out, or has chosen to stop working out, its competence.’ This is by all accounts an endeavor to show that some force with respect to these abilities can be come back to the part state if the Union stops to act, yet it very well may be seen that the change between the two bargains is minimal[7]. The last of the four contemplations communicated in Nice and given voice in Laeken was that of improving the Treaties. There can be no uncertainty that the Constitutional Treaty would have done this. There would be one conclusive record containing the entire degree and forces of the Union, the Treaty of Lisbon was obviously far from accomplishing that point. This arrangement is an alteration of beforehand existing settlements and read in separation is practically futile. It additionally results in one more renaming of the arrangement articles and along these lines one more table of equivalences. While it appears to be an undeniable point, this one factor is the single biggest contrast between the Constitutional Treaty and the Treaty of Lisbon, along these lines showing that different contrasts, as has been talked about, are fairly minor. Before proceeding to talk about the potential purposes for the Irish no vote, this appears to be a reasonable point to sum up the distinctions which exist between the Treaty of Lisbon and its bombed forerunner. One of the single, and maybe generally huge, contrasts between the two doesn't include the subtleties of their particular messages by any means. One of the thoughts considered at Laeken was that the Union ought to receive an increasingly open and just way to deal with its strategy making process. This was given impact in the drafting of the Constitutional Treaty. Following its disappointment anyway the Union promptly came back to the past methodology of mysterious, less just strategy making. While trying to push through the changes contained inside the Constitutional Treaty, all be it short certain argumentative zones, the Union built up the Treaty of Lisbon with

Trip Report ISEF 2016

Trip Report ISEF 2016 Im blogging this from a Starbucks in Phoenix. Im sweating, partially because its hot even inside with the AC nominally blasting, and partially because I just ate so much BBQ Im worried I might actually pass out. More on that later. Im in Phoenix for the 2016 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the worlds largest math, science, and engineering research fair for high school students. Every year, millions of high school students across the world enter their local science fairs. The best students will often proceed to ISEF-affiliated regional fairs, and then state and/or national fairs. Ultimately, the top ~1,700 students will qualify to attend ISEF as finalists and present their work to expert judges to qualify for more than $4,000,000 in scholarships, Special Awards  (which are awarded by partner organizations), and Grand Awards  (which are awarded by the ISEF judges). #TFW you win at #IntelISEF! #winning pic.twitter.com/gK4jS2D8iY â€" Society for Science (@Society4Science) May 13, 2016 (Note: before I came to MIT, I did not know ISEF existed. No one at my small high school did research, and we had, to the best of my knowledge, no affiliated fairs. Ive since learned, however, that many talented, smart students not only distinguish themselves by doing high-level research as high schoolers, but also love doing so, and find communities of intellectual and social peers through them. Participation in ISEF or other research programs is neither a requirement nor expectation of applicants to MIT; most of our admitted students did not do so. However, they can be great experiences for the right sort of student. So if, like me ~10 years ago, this is the first youve heard of ISEF, and you want to do smart nerdy things with smart nerdy people, you might want to check them out). I attended ISEF for the same reason I attend the International Olympiad of Informatics or FIRST Robotics World Championships: because there are many students there who would love to attend MIT and who are well-matched to our particular institutions. Every year we admit dozens of students who have been to ISEF at least once, and many more who progressed to some level of the affiliated fairs, as well as a handful of students who have won a Special or Grand Award and distinguished themselves as one of the most promising young researchers of their generation. Some ISEF alumni, like Feng Zhang, are even on the MIT faculty. I got into Phoenix around 3AM on Thursday morning after a long, delayed, and long-delayed flight from Boston. After a nap at my hotel I went down to the Phoenix Convention Center for ISEF Public Day, when the project hall is open to members of the general public for viewing and when all finalists must be at their booths to help explain their research. Projects are sorted into 22 categories  of math, science, and engineering, which as far as I can tell is mostly a convenience for organizing judging; plenty of the projects are interdisciplinary in topic and method, and the finalists are well-prepared to help intelligent but inexpert laypeople understand their work. I spent most of Thursday morning roaming the project hall, saying hi to some of the admitted 2020s who were there and listening to exhausted, excited underclassmen pitch their projects. Its impossible to see everyone at ISEF, especially only in a single day, but I got to hear about a lot of awesome projects, most of which were far beyond my technical comprehension but nonetheless endlessly interesting to hear about. I generally find that, even if I dont understand the technical details of a students project, I can still have a good conversation with almost anyone about their research process: how they identified and framed a problem, selected methods, incorporated or extended prior work, and where they hope to proceed. My own research has always been more on the SHASS side than the STEM side, but certain fundamental aspects of what it feels like to conduct independent research transcend disciplinary boundaries and academic domains. Ultimately, research is about trying to figure out s omething no one knows yet, and requires just trying a lot of different stuff until you find something that helps you make your understanding of reality seem somewhat less broken. If you have the kind of brain that likes doing that, then I think you can sort of get the point of any research project even if the details elude comprehension. After wandering the hall for a few hours I got a quick lunch at Tommy Pastramis  and then headed into the symposium halls to give a talk on how to talk about your research in the college admissions process with my friend Jamilla, who is an admissions officer at Harvey Mudd and with whom I once shared an office at MIT when we both got our start in the profession. As you can see from the slides, the talk was pretty basic, in large part because the form of our presentation, like the advice it imparted, was to keep it simple, stupid. Ill blog more about our research portfolio later this summer, but the upshot is that we just look for students to describe their project in simple terms for the intelligent layperson, and to help us understand the underlying motivation for and method of conducting their research. Most admissions officers are not subject-matter experts in your particular subfield of a subfield; instead, what theyre trying to assess are high-level (or low-level, perhaps?) attr ibutes like how you approach problems, what motivates you to do research, how youve taken advantage of opportunities, and so on. The room was full to capacity; after we finished the talk in half an hour or so, we answered individual questions for almost an hour afterwards. Once the talk ended I met a bunch of the students we had admitted to the Class of 2020 and took them out for ice cream. The ISEF ice cream reunion is a bit of an office tradition and in the Arizona heat it felt pretty necessary. 38 of the students we admitted to the Class of 2020 were ISEF finalists this year, and 22 of them are enrolling at MIT, so it was a nice way to get the gang back together after CPW and before everyone goes to college. Picture from the ice cream reunion; most, though not all, of these adMITs are enrolling this fall After that, I went to a small reception for sponsors and partners and other Important People, where I briefly schmoozed and hobnobbed and fraternized and otherwise discoursed with people in elegant attire much unlike my own. As the Special Awards began, I slipped away to return to my hotel and collapse jetlagged at an unreasonably early hour. This morning, I awoke at 3AM local time, which makes sense because Im pretty hardwired at this point to wake up at 6AM or earlier Eastern. I went to the gym, returned to the hotel, ironed my shirt, and drove back downtown for the Grand Awards. I wish I had taken a picture of the Grand Awards, because its always an incredibly well-staged event, right down to the actual stage itself, which is always enormous in a way that communicates the grandeur of the ceremony while somehow not dwarfing the award winners who stroll out from a crowd of ~1,700 to take their place as one of the most distinguished young researchers in the world. The cheering and roaring and happily shocked students never fails to make me smile. The 3 top winners from last years ISEF (2015). Go ahead, look at this picture and try not to smile; I dare you. As I said, there were 22 finalists at ISEF 2016 who will be enrolling at MIT. I always hesitate to post these kinds of things on the blogs because I dont want people to mistakenly think they have to do (or do well at) ISEF to get admitted to MIT. In this case, a) since we admitted these students before they went to ISEF, hopefully its evident, from the perspective of naive causality, that it isnt because they went to ISEF, and b) I think its pretty cool that we have so many internationally renowned researchers in the Class of 2020, so I wanted to recognize them. Here are the projects they presented at ISEF, ordered alphabetically by first name and including their category and any Grand Awards they won at this years fair: Alexis D. 20, Design and Implementation of a Sustainable Permeate Gap Membrane Distillation System for Water Purification in the Turkana Basin of Kenya, Second Award in the category of Environmental Engineering, representing the  Long Island Science and Engineering Fair Agni K 20, Break Divisors as Canonical Representatives for Divisor Classes on Complete Graphs: Applications to the Internet of Things, Fourth Award in the category of Mathematics, representing the  Georgia State Science and Engineering Fair Bilal A. 20, Comparison of Heat to Work Conversion in First Order and Second Order Magnets, finalist in the category of Materials Science, representing the New York City Science and Engineering Fair Brian M. 20, with teammate Spencer T., Capability of Modern Technology to Detect Exoplanets Orbiting Black Holes, Third Award in the category of Physics and Astronomy, representing the Indian River Regional Science and Engineering Fair in  Florida Charles N. 20, Efficient Blockchain-Driven Multiparty Computation Markets at Scale, Best in the category of Software, representing the Contra Costa County Science and Engineering Fair in  California Emma B. 20, Nematicidal Activity and Saponin Concentration of Chenopod Extracts, finalist in the category of Plant Science, representing the Southern Appalachian Science and Engineering Fair in  Tennessee Francisca V. 20, Shape-Shifting Origami Robotics, Second Award in the category of Robotics, representing the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair Jovan Z. 20, with teammate Sophia L., Applying Jacobian Free Krylov Solvers to Model Epidemics, Fourth Award in the category of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, representing the New Mexico Science and Engineering Fair Kat Y. 20, Developing Cellularly Active Inhibitors of CARM1 for New Anti-Cancer Treatment, finalist in the category of Translational Medical Devices, representing the North Carolina Science Fair Region 3B Kate L. 20, with teammate Katherine Y., The Effect of Carbon on Iron Nickel Bimetallic Nanoparticle Degradation of Orange G, Best in the category of Chemistry, representing the  Corden Pharma Colorado Regional Science Fair Kavya R. 20, A Nanomedicine Approach for Targeted Thrombolysis, finalist in the category of Biomedical Engineering, representing the Hathaway Brown Upper School Fair Mahi E. 20, Drug Vulnerabilities of the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia Are Revealed by Machine Learning Approaches, finalist in the category of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, representing the Central Sound Regional Science and Engineering Fair in Washington Michelle C. 20, Determining the Protein Structure from Ant Colony Optimization Using Energy Minimization Derived from the Ising Model, Third Award in the category of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, representing the Orange County Science and Engineering Fair in California Rishi S. 20, A Novel Method of Reverse Electrowetting Utilizing Self-Induced Potential with Direct Applications in Energy Harvesting, Second Award in the category of Energy: Physical, representing the North Carolina Science Fair Region 3B Rishi S. 20 (a different Rishi S.!), Collagen Microfiber Scaffolding for Nerve Repair Applications, finalist in the category of Biomedical Engineering, representing the  New York State Science and Engineering Fair Sadhika M. 20, Application of EMDomics to Identify Age-Associated Expression and Treatments in Cancer, finalist in the category of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, representing the Synopsys Silicon Valley Science and Technology Championship Sanath D. 20, The Algebra and Geometry of Quasicategories, finalist in the category of Mathematics, representing the Los Angeles County Science and Engineering Fair Shreyas K. 20, Cellphone Based Optometry Using Hybrid Images, Third Award in the category of Biomedical Engineering, representing the Initiative in Research and Innovation in Science fair in New Dehli, India Sloan K. 20, Creation of Additional Signal Regions to Increase Signal Sensitivity in the Search for Vector-Like Quarks at the LHC, finalist in the category of Physics and Astronomy, representing the Southern Arizona Research, Science and Engineering Fair Venkatesh S. 20, A Novel Orientation-Based Statistical Potential for Efficient Prediction of Protein Structure, Fourth Award in the category of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, representing the Central Ohio Regional Science and Engineering Fair Yang Y. 21 (gap), with teammate Annie Y., An Investigation of Poxvirus Response to the Integrated Cellular Stress Mechanism through Steady-State Analysis and Stochastic and Deterministic Models, finalist in the category of  Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, representing the  Salt Lake Valley Science and Engineering Fair And there was much rejoicing. After the Grand Awards, I got back in my car and drove to Little Miss BBQ, a legendary restaurant in Phoenix that my buddy Charlie had told me I should visit. When I arrived, I had to wait in line just to park, whereupon I was confronted by another line, in 104F midday heat, to order. I was told it would be worth the wait, so I did. I waited about an hour. And it was worth it. I bought about three pounds of meat, some ranch beans, and a personal pecan pie, and ate almost all of it right there under a tent, cooking like meat in the desert heat. And thats why, two hours later, Im still sweating, and struggling to stay awake, in a Starbucks in Phoenix, head full of science, belly full of BBQ, blogging about ISEF until my redeye home. This has been your 2016 ISEF trip report! See you in Los Angeles in 2017, when I will talk to more nerds and eat a ton of tacos, probably.

Understanding Computer Security Features - 517 Words

There are a lot of features on a computer system that people never stopped to look for. Many of the features could mean the destruction of your computer or be important to the upkeep of your computer. Also, some of these features could help in an investigation when a computer has to be taken in for evidence. The computer I am using is an Intel Celeron processor 2995U @ 1.40 GHz. It is a 64 bit operating system, with 4.0 of RAM, and 3.50 of MB. There is no specific Security software set up, however there are many other protection factors located in the control panel of the computer. According to the event log there have been 1,100 Administrative application events, 1,433 Administrative security events, 88 Operational setup events, 5,365 Administrative system events, and no Forwarded events. The form of security I did see that was active on this computer is Firewalls. I found this information within the control panel. Firewalls can be let down temporarily by opening a port. The only problem with opening a port is that once it is open it stays open. If someone finds themselves engrossed in other activities while using this computer, viruses would have an easy way in, if the port is no closed immediately after it has served its purpose. The recommendation for this security threat is to only make a port through a firewall when absolutely necessary, and to remember to close the port.

Man Can Not Live Without God - 1186 Words

J. Michael Carpenter AP English Duhram 8/7/16 Man Cannot Live Without God The question â€Å"Can man live without God?† is interesting because most people would argue that it depends on worldview. However through a careful analysis of The Scarlet Letter and Ravi Zacharias’ book Can Man Live Without God a definitive answer can be concluded. The depiction of God’s role in The Scarlet Letter, the antitheistic worldview described in Can Man Live Without God, and a look into how God affects life today will provide more than satisfactory information to conclude that man cannot live without God. The Scarlet Letter is a brilliant novel depicting the life of Hester Prynne after having an affair with a local reverend. Hester Prynne, at first ravenous and distraught in her jail cell, soon overcomes her situation by finding peace in her daughter Pearl. Even though the rest of the city has shunned her, Hester credits God for blessing her with a wonderful daughter from her sinful affair. However, every coin has two sides. Hester’s lover, and Pearl’s father, Rev. Dimmesdale finds himself in an increasingly worse situation. Dimmesdale, not having the same closure that Hester did in Pearl, begins to become filled with guilt and worry. This eventually leads to him developing a heart condition and unknowingly seeking treatment from Hester’s fiendish long lost husband, Roger Chillingworth.

Qantas Business Growth Strategies †A Complete Sample Solution

Question: Discuss about theQantas Business Growth Strategies. Answer: Report on Marketing Strategy at Quantas The principal goal of any business entity is to grow, whether its just a start-up one or a recognized market leader still seeks to increase profitability. For Quantas to enhance the best strategies for growth in the business, the Ansoff matrix offers a solution through assessing the various stages of risk in seeking business growth (Richardson Evans, 2007). This paper will outline the current market strategy employed by Quantas to tolerate competition in the international market. Below is an overview of the Ansoffs Matrix. (Richardson Evans, 2007) The Qantas uses the Ansoff business strategies through the development of the development of markets and products. Qantas has substantially invested in new various products with the aim of attracting customers to the existing services in their market. For instance, it has been granted a patent which involves innovation of self-services in the passage check in stations as well as in the luggage processing (Park, 2007). Noticeably, it is participating in marketing development where it attracts new markets through engaging the potential customers through offering good deals and promotions. Also, through maintaining the present customers while at the same time enabling innovation helps the firm to attract new clients in the market which is a good way of enhancing the growth of the business. A good example of innovation in the Qantas is that it has been given or rather granted a patent which allows it to connect its customers easily to their prevalent luggage through identification chips with bag tags (LeClair, 2012).The Q bag tags makes sure that the client's luggage is not lost or travel to a different place while at the same time it helps in speeding check-ins when customers are in a position to check their bags on previous arrivals. Apart from the air transportation business, Qantas had put in several other business-related opportunities like the flight catering, engineering, defense services and holidays (Rothkopf, 2009). Consequently, it coordinated and centralized its business to attain greater efficiency which would eventually result in cost effectiveness that is essential in enhancing the growth of its markets. Through the integration strategy employed in the investing other services of the value chains in the firm helps in realizing the competitive advantage of the business transfer of the resources at lower cost. Notably, the Qantas business is augmenting their products within the current competencies in other areas (Rothkopf, 2009). Outstandingly, the strategy builds the recognition of the product to diversified risks. The profits derived from other businesses provide Qantas with resources that help in the implementation of the organization change as well as maintaining the momentum of all the process. J etstar, which is Qantas creation, is a market development strategy according to the Ansoffs matrix that was aimed at curbing the Virgin Blue growth through paving the way for the new entrants from the domestic duopoly that undermines the profitability in the local markets (Richardson Evans, 2007). Conclusively, Qantas has reconstructed itself to focusing on the important business priorities as well as improvements in its technological systems (Preez, 2015). Therefore, that makes it a leaner with boosted operation efficiency and productivity at large. Arguably, it is because the company has been developing its network and capabilities such as the introduction of Jetstar through making bold diversification that reaches many customers hence immense success. It should be noted that Qantas past success does not guarantee future success and for that reason, it must strive harder in implementing the discussed strategies to enhance growth and maintain the success of the market.
