Operations management is important. It is concerned
with creating the products and services upon which
we all depend. And creating products and services is
the very reason for any organization’s existence, whether that organization be large or small, manufacturing or service, for profit or not profit. Thankfully, most
companies have now come to understand the importance of operations. This is because they have realized
that effective operations management gives the
potential to improve revenues and, at the same time,
enables goods and services to be produced more
efficiently. It is this combination of higher revenues
and lower costs which is understandably important to
any organization.
Operations management is also exciting. It is at the
center of so many of the changes affecting the business world – changes in customer preference, changes
in supply networks brought about by internet-based
technologies, changes in what we want to do at work,
how we want to work, and so on. There has rarely
been a time when operations management was more
topical or more at the heart of business and cultural
shifts.
Operations management is also challenging. Promoting the creativity which will allow organizations to
respond to so many changes is becoming the prime
task of operations managers. It is they who must find
the solutions to technological and environmental
challenges, the pressures to be socially responsible,
the increasing globalization of markets and the difficult-to-define areas of knowledge management.
Choose the alternative with the correct synonym
of the word word Thankfully in “Thankfully, most companies have now come to…”.

Read the text below and answer the following question based on it.
The motion requests the prohibition of the hunting of captive-bred lions under any conditions and also states that breeding should only be allowed at “registered zoos or facilities that demonstrate a clear conservation benefit”.
The passing of this motion has come at a critical time as despite more than 20 years of campaigning by local and international activists and organizations to bring an end to these practices, the industry has shown steady growth over the last decade.
Currently there are more than 180 facilities holding approximately 7000 predators used for a variety of commercial purposes, including captive or ‘canned’ hunts.
Although basic legislation is in place to regulate the captive keeping and hunting of lions in South Africa, IUCN members have acknowledged that the SA government has had limited legal scope available to terminate “canned” hunting altogether and are hoping the guidelines set out in the motion will assist them to revise legislation.
“The Department (of Environmental Affairs) will consider the implications associated with the motion; engage the relevant IUCN members and then take appropriate actions, guided by its legal mandate,” says Albi Modise.
Adding to further implementation, amendments to TOPS (Threatened or Protected Species) Regulations will be published early next year which are expected to include prohibiting the introduction of wild lion to captive breeding facilities and the captive breeding of lion if no conservation benefit can be demonstrated.
While the passing of this motion is significant, it is only the first step of what could still be a tricky process.
South Africa told to end canned lion hunting
A motion to terminate the hunting and breeding of captive
lions and other predators in South Africa has been approved
by the IUCN World Conservation Congress currently
underway in Hawaii.
The motion requests the prohibition of the hunting of captive-bred lions under any conditions and also states that breeding should only be allowed at “registered zoos or facilities that demonstrate a clear conservation benefit”.

Read the following text and answer question based on the text
A Potential Solution: Farm Vertically
The concept of indoor farming is not new, since
hothouse production of tomatoes, a wide variety of
herbs, and other produce has been in vogue for some
time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this
technology to accommodate another 3 billion people.
An entirely new approach to indoor farming must be
invented, employing cutting edge technologies. The
Vertical Farm must be efficient (cheap to construct and
safe to operate). Vertical farms, many stories high, will
be situated in the heart of the world’s urban centers. If
successfully implemented, they offer the promise of
urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and
varied food supply (year-round crop production), and
the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been
sacrificed for horizontal farming.
It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow
most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the
way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often
turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts.
Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban
species, in which 60% of the human population now
lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority,
we humans are protected against the elements, yet we
subject our food-bearing plants to the rigors of the great
outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good
weather year. However, more often than not now, due to
a rapidly changing climate regime, that is not what
follows. Massive floods, protracted droughts, class 4-5
hurricanes, and severe monsoons take their toll each
year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops. Don’t
our harvestable plants deserve the same level of comfort
and protection that we now enjoy? The time is at hand
for us to learn how to safely grow our food inside
environmentally controlled multistory buildings within
urban centers. If we do not, then in just another 50
years, the next 3 billion people will surely go hungry,
and the world will become a much more unpleasant
place in which to live.

than not now” (paragraph 2) in the text is:

I happily advertise the fact I breastfed – it’s
high time that brands embraced it too
by Nell Frizzell
New ads by Aldi, Adidas and Sainsbury’s all
feature breastfeeding mothers. Hopefully this will
normalize the process to help new parents feed
with ease
It may be some time yet until we see a mother
in an advert precariously balancing her
child/bag/shopping/pets before pushing a nipple
into the mouth of a howling, jam-smeared toddler.
But when they do, oh boy, are my days as a model
really going to get going.
In recent weeks, a series of adverts have
appeared from Tu at Sainsbury’s, Adidas and Aldi,
all featuring breastfeeding mothers. Some are
wearing flowery blouses and have tattoos, others
are holding a naked baby between the zips of a
sports top. Of course the women are good-looking,
of course they are slim, of course we cannot
actually see anything as erotically charged or as
morally unsettling as an areola – this is still
advertising, after all. But it is, surely, a start.
As someone who breastfed her son for 21 shirtlifting, bra-soaking, carefree months, I am of
course pleased to see breastfeeding being held up
as something both everyday and aspirational. It is
as prosaic as a trip to the supermarket yet as
physically impressive as professional sport. It
belongs on billboards and screens as much as
beds and sofas.
here is no such thing as “normal” when it
comes to babies or bodies. But to normalize
something that, in the words of UNICEF, has a
profoundly positive impact on child health, is of
course to be celebrated. You might find yourself
whipping out a boob on a train full of football fans;
you might squirt milk across somebody else’s coat
on the bus; you might find yourself answering the
door with your full breast outside your clothes
without noticing. And if the presence of big brands
behind your bra straps encourage you to keep
feeding, then all power to your elbow. It is a shame
that this hasn’t happened sooner, but it’s better late
than never – and there’s no use crying over spilled
(breast) milk.

appeared from Tu at Sainsbury’s, Adidas and Aldi,
all featuring breastfeeding mothers. Some are
wearing flowery blouses and have tattoos, others
