BREXIT AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Introduction In recent years the UK automotive industry has performed relatively well with output increasing by around 60% in the last ten years. Similarly, the industry has also received over £8bn worth of investment and employing around 800,000 jobs (Bailey and De Propris 2017). Also, at least 54% of UK manufactured vehicles are sold in the EU market; the UK motor vehicle industry has clearly benefited from EU membership. Areas such as the Midlands that were highly affected by the global financial crisis have experienced an up turn in fortunes (Bailey and Berkley 2014). The recent is attributed to several factors but UK access to the EU Single Market remains a central reason to this success. Also, the EU enabled the industry to access skilled workers and European networks and research funding (KPMG, 2014). In the light of Brexit it is vital to consider how Brexit will impact on the UK automotive industry supply chain and reverse logistic processes.

The Property Development Process There are numerous opinions and illustrations about the steps of property development. Property development involves a range of levels, from initiation and investigation, purchase, and implementation. Aspiring property developers need to understand these steps to ensure a successful property development process. Property development, similar to other industrial processes, requires various inputs like labor and finances. However, as opposed to many industrial processes, the process of property development takes place under much public attention. As set out by Reed and Smith (2015), the property development process includes eight key stages which are: initiation, investigation, and analysis of viability, acquisition, design and costing, consent and permission, commitment, implementation, and the final stage of leasing, managing or disposal. However, the authors observed that while these processes involve different inputs and aspects, the activities often overlap or repeat during the process of property development. The Initiation Stage The initiation stage begins when a suitable site is identified, either for retail, industrial, or residential use. Reed and Smith (2015) opined that the process involved in this stage is often similar, regardless…
The Columbian Exchange The Columbian exchange has for a long time remained one of the greatest important actions in the history of world ecology, farming, and culture. Sometimes it is known as the great exchange and it explains the vast extensive interchange of plants, foods, animals, technologies, human inhabitants, infectious ailments, as well as thoughts amongst the Eastern and Western countries. Columbian exchange came from the initial traveler Christopher Columbus in 1492 who started a period of huge scale interaction between the old and the new world resulting in the ecological revolt. The Columbian Exchange economically affected the world since mercantilism thrived when it was established. Earlier mercantilism was only a mechanism for an economy since people would serve their own best interests and let the market determine demand and prices for goods. The exchange established mercantilism as a free market that empowered the merchants to set their stores and prices although they were privy to conflict and competition. The trade of goods and slaves back to Europe improved the economic structure of mercantilism and also encouraged the economic expansion…
Federal Letter to one of the U.S Senators from New York Dear Senator, My name is Herbert, and I am a resident of New York City. I am currently an undergraduate student at the City University of New York and one of the things that I am so passionate about is the environment. The reason why I am writing to you is to ask for your assistance in curbing environmental pollution in New York. The current state of the environment is still not at its best and with your help, I believe we can make New York a better place to live in. Pollution in New York City ranges from air pollution, runoff, sewer overflows and land pollution from plastic bottles and garbage. Despite the administration’s applaudable efforts in developing creative solutions to some of these challenges, the broader issues remain. The city’s sewer system gets overwhelmed with little stormwater. Chipping in to assist in planting more trees will help evade this problem. The city’s residents are prone to using bottled water for drinking. We can come up with a…

Carbon Trading is not an Appropriate Response to Climate Change Introduction Global climatic change is one of the leading issues affecting several countries around the world. The United Nations and other global organizations on the environment adopted the Kyoto protocol that gave birth to carbon trading among other environmental programs (Dou, 2017). Carbon trading was touted to be the most effective ways of addressing the historical problem of carbon emissions that harm the environment in various ways. However, the implementation of these protocols and arrangements has failed to ensure these programs can work and deliver on reducing greenhouse emissions (Barragán-Beaud et al., 2018). Carbon trading has failed to reduce greenhouse emission in a variety of ways as illustrated in this paper. Overview and Benefits of Carbon Trading Currently, it stands out clearly that carbon trading is ineffective in its role and discourages economic development (Nai, Luo & Yang, 2017). Various countries and entities need to understand the importance of the Kyoto Protocol and subsequent carbon trading program that is in place. The Kyoto protocol was a United Nations-led international agreement…
The role of Saturn in the twelve houses Saturn makes the native responsible, loyal, and sincere in his work. The person is blessed with a long life when Saturn is placed favourably in his chart. The natives are mostly found in professions involving oil, iron, mining, stones, etc. as Saturn rules all mining items. Saturn is believed to rule the nerves in the gastric area, and an afflicted Saturn can create health issues like constipation, indigestion, etc. Saturn stands for the black or blue colour, and so wearing a blue sapphire (Neelam) is believed to reduce the adverse effects of Saturn in your chart.

They should try to be optimistic and believe that they will be successful later in life. Second house: This position gives…
