What values do airlines customer business and leisure travelers seek when they buy a ticket

Both business and leisure travellers seek basic transportation
with associated service features like safety, comfort, reliability, speed and punctuality. The
major difference in the characteristics of these two types ob airlines customer is in the
flexibility of their demand and the extent to which the travel can be
preplanned.


Business traveller have comparatively more rigid travel
and often they need to travel at short notice. Because of this business travellers are usually
not able to change their travel plans to take advantage of discounted fares available either for
early booking, or for the seats on specific flights remaining unbooked till very close to the
flight timing. Thus the business travellers need the ability get required reservations on short
notice.


In contrast, the leisure travellers can be of two opposing
types. One type is the traveller that plans its holidays well in advance. These travellers shop
for best prices offered on early bookings. The other type is opposite of this. These may be
generally young people not travelling with family. They are ready to plan their leisure travel at
very short notice to take advantage of the highly discounted fare offered for filling up seats on
airlines that remain vacant till very close to the flight
timings.


It is important to note that prices are important for both
business and leisure traveller, but inflexibility of travel plans makes it difficult for the
business traveller to take advantages of discounted fares to the extent the leisure traveller
can.

What is a Kantian moral agent?

In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, a moral agent is a
being that is in control of its own choices.  It is something that is autonomous (at
least with regard to its moral choices) -- nothing can compel it to act in any given
way.  The moral agent is able to determine for itself whether it wants to act badly or
well.


According to Kant, moral actors are not simply
controlled by their desires (at least not necessarily).  They are not animals (non-human
animals, that is) that are driven by instinct.  Instead, they have a rational will that
allows them to make moral decisions for themselves.

Identify the symbolism in Steinbeck's story, “The Chrysanthemums.”

The chrysanthemum is an ancient flower that dates back to
the 15th century B.C.  Named from the Greek prefix -chry which
means "golden," which was its original color, chrysanthemums now are in a variety of
colors with a golden center.  Somewhat like a daisy with longer petals, chrysanthemums
are symbolic of optimism and joy.  For the Japanese, chrysanthemums, with their orderly
unfolding are considered symbolic of perfection.


In John
Steinbeck's story, Elisa channels her creative and reproductive powers into her
chrysanthemums which she tends lovingly since her husband is always preoccupied with
tending his ranch.  Living with him in the Salinas Valley, a "closed pot" offers Elisa
no outlets for her feminine nature.  However, when the tinker arrives, Elisa, like the
chrysanthemums "unfolds" and releases her feminine urges and
optimism:



Her
eyes shone.  She tore off the battered hat and shook out her dark pretty
hair.


"It's the budding that takes the most care," she said
hesitantly.  "I don't know how to tell you."  She looked deep into his eyes,
searchingly.  Her mouth opened a little, and she seemed to be
listening....


She was kneeling on the ground looking up at
him.  Her breast swelled
passionately.



Believing that
the tinker was genuinely interested in the flowers causes Elisa's nature to bloom. 
However, after she appears beautiful and perfect like her flowers in her womanhood and
dresses to go to town, Elisa discovers the chrysanthemums and a broken pot on the side
of the road, ending her romantic dream.  They have become what the tinker called them, a
"quick puff of colored smoke":


readability="5">

In a moment it was over.  The thing was done. 
She did not look
back.



Elisa's description of
the flowers as having a "good bitter smell" suggests that like the chrysanthemum, the
beauty of the moment is ephemeral, indeed.

How do you change 45 degrees to its decimal value?

45 derees to convert into decimal
value.


In a a pi diagram ,  we represent each components of
the total by different angles and the total  components  by 360 degrees ,then 45 degree 
is a part of 360 degree.


So 45 degree is a part of 360
degree.


45 degree is 45/360  of 360
degree.


45 degree is  (45 dvidedby45/(360  divided by 45)
part of 360 degree.


45 degree is (1/8) part of 360
degree.


45 degree is {(1*1000/8)/1000} part of  360
degree.


45 degree = 125/1000 part of 360
degree.


 45 degree is 0.125 (in decimal system) 360
degree.

How is the rude mechanicals' little play related to the larger play in which it appears in A Midsummer Night’s Dream?

The Mechancials' play, which they present for Theseus'
wedding day in Act V, is meant to be a Tragedy.  It is a spoof of a classic story, the
tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, or, as Quince notes, it is titled:  The Most
Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe
.  The story of
these "star-crossed" lovers (who both kill themselves at the end) bears resemblance to
Shakespeare's own Tragedy of star-crossed love, the full title of which is: 
The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and
Juliet
.


The fact that Quince refers to his play
of Pyramus and Thisbe as a "Lamentable Comedy" is simply a mistake that cues the
audience as to the sort of bumbling, non-professional performance of this play that they
are in for.  There are many other aspects of the Act V performance that play on cliches
of bad productions of tragic plays.  From the excesses of Bottom as Pyramus (including
his numerous "deaths") to the presentations of Wall and Moonshine, this play is
definitely meant as a spoof of a Tragedy such as Romeo and
Juliet.


The performance of a tragic love story
played out as comic in the Mechanicals' rendition of Pyramus and Thisbe relates to the
larger circumstances of plot in the play that concern Lysander and Hermia.  These young
lovers begin this play as star-crossed  themselves, and yet the play manages to maintain
a light-hearted tone.  The play-within-a-play mirrors the initially tragic circumstances
confronting the lovers Hermia and Lysander, also adding in a comic tone that overshadows
the tragedy of the circumstances.


Please follow the links
below for more on the Mechanicals' play.

Give an example of when it would be beneficial to choose one type of discount instead of another.

We give two types of discount in the example
below:


A mechant gives 10% dicount on TV sets.  Another merchant
gives a double discount of  6%  and over that another 4% .  Where to go for our adantage . The
second type of double discount looks the same  as the  2 discounts the 2nd merchant gives add up
to 10%.


So let us calculate if the original price is
$1000.


In the first type we get 10% of 1000 = $100.  we save $100
over the original price.


In the 2nd type , 6% of $1000 =
$60.


So the  price after 6%discount = $(1000-60) =
$940.


4% discount over $940 = $940*0.04 =
$37.6.


So the final price after discount = 940 - 37.6 =
$902.4.


So the the savings is $(1000 - 902.4) =
$97.6.


Therefore the first one better from the point of view of
purchaser. The second is better for the seller.

Why does he invoke Milton's name in "London, 1802"?

This is one of Wordsworth’s political sonnets. Although he
does not refer specifically to any corrupt politicians, his references make clear that
politicians and the English public alike are subject to his anger and to his assertions
that there is a need to discover new and thoughtful leadership. At the time Wordsworth
wrote this poem, Milton had been established as one of the great English voices. His
most famous poem, "Paradise Lost", had been acclaimed as the most outstanding of English
epics. Wordsworth’s apostrophe to Milton therefore has the effect of appealing to one of
the greatest figures in the English tradition. It is likely that Wordsworth is thinking
as much of Milton’s connection with the causes of freedom developed during the
revolution and interregnum (1642–1660) as of Paradise Lost.
