Alan Joyce, the combative chief executive of Australian flag carrier Qantas Airways, is flying high these days. Along the way he plans to reward shareholders with their first dividend in seven years and has generated enough cash to pay bonuses to 25,000 staff. The positive results suggest that Mr Joyce strategy of cutting costs and calling off a price war with rival Virgin Australia has finally paid off, although the big fall in fuel prices also aided Qantas™s cause. Now Mr Joyce has another…

A ship booked to capacity, that would carry 2,000 souls from Liverpool to New York, awaited its voyage across the Atlantic. It has lasted 10 months, thus far, longer than anyone has expected.

This ship had become an object of National pride. One paper reported, if there was ever a need of another Noah’s ark, they…

In New England boats are plentiful. Taking a scenic drive along the coast will show you a landscape dotted with boats of varying sizes and design. We know that not all boats are used, or even wanted. Yet, owners still pay docking fees, registration fees, and fees for upkeep and maintenance. While selling a boat is always an option, it might not be the best option for all residents of Pocasset, MA, Barrington, RI, Tiverton, RI and surrounding areas.

The article I read was titled “Automation is already here, and it's taking jobs and annoying customers” by Monty Solomon. From this title, it’s not difficult to discern the author’s disposition towards technological automation to be a bit sour and bleak. However, his outlook is not without merit. I find section 1.5 on page 38 where the book discusses the issues facing modern technology to be relevant to this particular article. Solomon begins his piece by examining how we as humans grow more…

Are you afraid of flying in planes? More than 20 million people are afraid of going on planes and unfortunately I’m one of them. My mom, dad, and sister Harman boarded the plane at MCI.
