Dear Kate,

How have you been? It has been a long time since I wrote a letter. I was caught up with the holidays and Mama's family came over, so was not able to write any. Hope you have become accustomed to the hostel food there.

When Mama and her family came over, we all went to the Jim Corbett National Park. It was spread on a huge area with huge deciduous and mango trees. There were more than 100 species of trees, with so many varieties of birds, reptiles, and other mammals. The Tigers were the special tourist attractions there.

We also went on an early morning safari and we were able to spot a sambar deer and an elephant. There were the Kalagarh dam and the Corbett falls which were awesome. I will show you all the pictures when you come over for the next holidays.

Also, let's plan to visit there together again when you come here.

Study well, eat well, and sleep well.

Take care.

Love,

Jack

Next holiday, Kate will come over to visit Jack.

The biologist found some pollutants, a little of which can be considered very harmful to fish and other living organisms in the river.

Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 1900s, beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically. He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for systemtically specializing the work of operating employees and managers. Along with other pioneers such as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods “scientific management”. At that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the prevailing industrial norms of worker exploitation.
The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. The Gilbreths had 12 children. By analyzing his children’s dishwashing and bed making chores, this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste motion. He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper by the Dozen”.
The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of “therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled backwards) - basic motions used in production jobs. Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a given job. In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service. However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful results unless all five work dimensions are considered, physical, psychological, social, cultural, and power.

According to the passage, the time it takes a skilled worker to perform the motion of a given job can be measured by using ________.

National parks are large areas of public land set aside for native plants, animals and the places in which they live. National parks protect places of natural beauty. National park is home to many endemic species. They also protect places important to Aboriginal people, and places that show how people lived in the past.

National parks are actually protected areas. IUCN definition of a protected area: “A clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values”.

Conservation of biodiversity (the variety of our native species and the ecosystems they form) is the central purpose of protected areas. High levels of biodiversity keep ecosystems healthy and resilient, which means that they continue providing vital ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, climate regulation, air and water purification and pollination.

Protecting biodiversity is vital to safeguard our economy; our cultural, spiritual and aesthetic values; and the intrinsic value of species and ecosystems. National parks provide a safe home for native plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. National parks give us places to enjoy.

What is the role of high levels of biodiversity?

Because of the severe drought which has continued this year, water rationing will go into effect on Monday. Lawns can not be watered with automatic sprinklers; driveways, porches, and decks can not be hosed down. You may water by hand, but not only on even-numbered days. Cars can be washed on Wednesday only. The city has hired a new drought patrol crew, which will be looking for offenders. If you are caught, there will be a $50 fine for the first offense and a $100 fine for the second offense. We realize that this is strict, but the drought has affected us dramatically. We ask your co-operation in conserving water.
Besides the drought rules, we ask that you be prudent in your household water use. Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth. Take short showers; you might even consider turning off the water as you soap up. Don’t wash dishes under running water, and when you wash your clothes, save the final rinse water to begin your next load. Let’s all work together to save our community’s water.
