How-Tos & Information
What Is A Console Piano?

There are many different types of pianos available, from baby grand pianos to full grand pianos, and three different types of upright pianos from spinet to console pianos. So, what exactly is a console piano and how does it differ from other upright pianos?
What Is A Console Piano For?
How Does A Console Piano Work?
What Is The Difference Between A Console Piano And An Upright Piano?
A console piano is a large type of upright piano, but it is different from a grand piano as the hammer on string action is set vertically rather than horizontally. Most console pianos are between 40" to 44" tall, so are still compact and space-saving, but have a better sound and quality than smaller upright pianos such as spinets.
Upright pianos are made with vertical strings and are therefore much smaller, thinner, and compact than a grand piano. But it's not just the look that is different. Upright pianos are slightly different in sound due to their size and design, but they can still provide a very rich, powerful sound.
There are four different kinds of vertical, upright pianos. These are (from shortest to tallest) the spinet, console, studio, and upright piano. Each type of vertical piano has a different design, dimensions, and sound. So, let's take a look at all of the various types of vertical pianos to see how the console piano compares.
For instance, the spinet piano is the smallest of the upright piano and is typically less than 40 inches tall from the floor to the lid. When it comes to the spinet, the action is located below the keys, which are operated by vertical wires attached to the back.
Due to their small size, spinet pianos are perfect for smaller spaces and tend to be less expensive. The spinet is designed for learning how to play the piano and getting to know the configuration of the keys and strings.
In comparison, the console piano is the next size up from the spinet piano and generally measures between 40 to 44 inches tall. Unlike the spinet, the action sits on top of the keys and has smaller hammers and strings stretching downwards.
With a great sound and an easy and simple nature, the console is perfect and a popular type for home pianists and those who play the piano as a hobby rather than a professional.
The next size up is the studio piano, which is about 44 to 47 inches tall, but is very similar to a console piano, but with a different feel. Finally, we have the upright piano, which is the image of a traditional piano. It is the tallest of the vertical pianos and has a great, resonant sound with simple playability and incredible action.
After considering the whole range of vertical pianos, the console piano is a sort of middle ground option, and is a medium-sized upright, vertical piano with great sound, better performance than a spinet but is still space-saving and responsive.
The console piano is a larger version of an upright piano. It is still compact and space-saving like other smaller upright pianos, but it does not compromise on sound. As a result, the console piano is perfect for home pianists and advanced piano players, with a great quality of sound that is much greater than a spinet, but not as resonant or rich as a grand piano.
If you're unsure whether a console piano is for you, then you should know that it is an absolutely satisfactory instrument for most home pianists. Unlike smaller vertical pianos such as spinets, the console piano has normal action that sits on the top of the keys, and hammers that sit in an upright rather than dropped position.
As the action of the console piano involves the striking of the string, it is not as responsive, nor does it have the tonal quality and dynamic sound of a grand piano, but it is an exceptional choice of vertical or upright piano that further expands on the spinet's quality.
As mentioned above, upright pianos have strings placed vertically at the back of the case, as the hammers strike them by moving horizontally. Different from spinet pianos, console pianos have normal action that simply sits directly on top of the keys, with the hammers sitting upright, not in a dropped position. Therefore, when the hammers strike and hit the strings, and the key is released, the hammer is pulled back into position.
A console piano is actually a type of upright, vertical piano, but it is not a traditional upright. The main difference is the size of the piano, as the console is about 40-44 inches tall, but an upright piano can be very large from 44 to 47 inches tall or more.
In addition to this, an upright piano will have a more rich tone, resonant and powerful sound, whereas the console has a more direct action than smaller vertical pianos, but not as impressive of a sound as larger upright pianos or grand pianos.
For a very versatile and impressive home piano, an upright piano will be the best option, suitable for learning pianists and advanced, professional pianists, whereas the console piano is a smaller sized vertical piano with a satisfactory, bright sound and tone suitable for home pianists.
To summarize, a console piano is a type of vertical piano that is larger than a spinet, but not as large as a traditional upright or studio piano. Whilst the console piano is between 40 to 44 inches tall, it is still space-saving, compact and perfect for smaller homes, but with great sound and action wonderful for home pianists and those who love playing piano as a hobby or pastime.

New Zealand's coronavirus response ranked as best in the world - Bloomberg report
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Photo credit: Getty Images
New Zealand is the best country in the world to be in during the coronavirus era, according to a Bloomberg resilience ranking.
Bloomberg's report ranks economies worth more than $200 billion on 10 key metrics, including growth in virus cases, the mortality rate, testing capabilities, vaccine supply agreements, capacity of the local healthcare system, the impact of virus-related restrictions like lockdowns on the economy, and citizens' freedom of movement.
Ardern invites Biden to NZ, offers COVID-19 expertise in 'very positive and warm' phone call
From 'selfish' and 'terrifying' to 'successful': How NZ's COVID-19 response has fascinated the globe
Fifty-three countries are ranked based on where COVID-19 has been handled "most effectively with the least amount of disruption to business and society".
"New Zealand tops the ranking as of November 23 thanks to decisive, swift action," the report said.
"Early on, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's Government said it would target 'elimination' of the virus, pouring resources into testing, contact tracing and a centralized quarantine strategy to snuff out local transmission.
"Having largely achieved it, New Zealanders are basically living in a world without COVID. The nation has seen just a handful of infections in the community in recent months, and live music and large-scale social events are back on."
Photo credit: Bloomberg
New Zealand received a resilience ranking of 85.4, followed by Japan with 85, Taiwan with 82.9, South Korea with 82.3, and Finland with 82.
On COVID-19 status measures, New Zealand has recorded two cases per 100,000 people over the past month and a total of five deaths per one million. However, it ranks lower on its access to COVID vaccines since there are currently only supply agreements with two phase three candidates - Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE.
On quality of life measures, New Zealand ranked best for its lockdown severity, meaning social and economic activity aren't tightly restricted by government policies and guidance, and people aren't experiencing greater disruption to their lives.
But where New Zealand did score lower was on the 2020 GDP growth forecast where it sees a 6.1 percent drop.
The report said many of the countries in the top 10 pioneered and modelled the "most effective" strategies for fighting COVID-19.
"Border control has been a key element, starting with China's original cordon sanitaire around Hubei province, which largely shielded the rest of the country from infection," it said.
"The three Nordic nations in the top 10 reflect how border control has been used effectively in Europe."
Finland and Norway have blocked entry to most non-residents since mid-March, it says, even though they're part of Europe's passport-free Schengen area.
"The top-ranked European nations managed to avoid the resurgence now engulfing countries like France, the UK and Italy caused in part by summer vacation travel."
The report says the "underperformance" of democracies like the US, UK, and India contrasts with the success of authoritarian countries like China and Vietnam, which "raises questions" over whether democratic societies are prepared to tackle pandemics.
"When citizens have faith in the authorities and their guidance, lockdowns may not be needed at all, as Japan, Korea - and to an extent, Sweden - show," it said.
"New Zealand emphasized communication from the start, with a four-level alert system that gave people a clear picture of how and why the Government would act as the outbreak evolved."
The report also noted Taiwan's use of technology that shows where masks are in stock or lists locations infected people have visited.
"Much like New Zealand, life has largely reverted to normal [in Taiwan], though borders remain shut. Taiwan has so far, however, failed to ink any bilateral deals for the most progressed vaccines."


OKI Semiconductor has recently announced the development of the industry's first 16bit monaural audio codec IC with a built-in automatic wind noise reduction filter, designed to improve audio recording by minimizing wind noises during microphone recording.
The ML26127 was developed to meet the growing need for improved sound quality in portable devices with recording capability, particularly against the introduction of wind noise, which makes high-fidelity audio reproduction virtually impossible when using a microphone.
Existing audio codec ICs typically filter out certain low-frequency bands in order to reduce wind noise. However, this eliminates other low-frequency sounds as well, reducing overall sound quality. In response to this, OKI Semiconductor included an automatic wind noise reduction filter that automatically detects wind noise and adaptively changes the filtering level for optimum recording and playback. In addition, a fast release ALC function is included, along with multiple noise reduction circuits and proprietary LoudSound technology that enables louder output from small speakers. The product is available in a compact W-CSP form factor measuring only 2.46mm×2.46mm,t=0.4mm), making it ideal for portable devices of all types.
An ultra-compact package featuring roughly the same external dimensions as the chip itself.
This indicates the amount of noise from a power supply a particular device can reject. The larger the value, the more stable the output is against power source voltage fluctuations.
A filter that removes noise by attenuating specific frequencies.
Used to remove noise superposition of specific frequencies during recording.
Indicates the amount of (harmonic) distortion present, and is defined by the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental frequency. Often expressed in dB.

Improving collaboration between rights holders and Chinese authorities – exclusive guest post
Trevor Little
Efforts underway to encourage police across China to collaborate with IP owners
Best practice form Shanghai authorities to be promoted across other provinces
Project to date offers useful tips on how to utilise interrogation records in enforcement
Next week in Boston, Jack Chang, currently special counsel to the chair of L Brands International, will receive the WTR Industry Award for lifetime achievement. Chang is one of the founders of the Quality Brands Protection Committee (QBPC) and in this exclusive guest post, he provides insight into efforts to work with Chinese authorities to drive more efficient and transparent public prosecutions and trials against intellectual property crimes. Crucially, he also offers tips about into how best to work with local authorities and utilise information from police interrogation records in enforcement efforts.
Guest analysis:
When I worked for one of my previous employers ('Company X') as the corporate assistant general counsel based in Shanghai, I wrote to the China State Council to report a serious counterfeit threat, which almost caused Company X's wound care business to be shut down. I sought the State Council's assistance in helping fight against the identified ring, which cultivated a large number of counterfeiters throughout China by supplying production machines, know-how and technologies, as well as helping counterfeiters to penetrate Company X's supply and demand chains. Subsequently, the then-vice premier Wu Bangguo instructed the National Anti-Counterfeiting Office to initiate a special operation across 17 provinces, Shanghai and Chongqing. This operation saved Company X's wound care business in China and was implemented by the State Technical Supervision Bureau (the predecessor of the General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection & Quarantine).
At various local levels, the Technical Supervision Department and police worked as joint forces. As it was a high-profile special operation, when a criminal investigation was concluded and the public prosecution against the counterfeit trademark crime commenced, I was notified by the police and procuratorate and was able to sit in the court trial to witness the process. I learned that even though, as an in-house counsel, I could not apply to the court to copy the court files, when I hired an outside litigator, they could do that. Copying the files, including the police interrogation records, enabled me to better work with outside litigators to prepare for arguments in the court trial on behalf of the company. The more criminal cases that I worked on in this way, the more police interrogation records that I received.
After reviewing a number of these records, I was amazed to find out that, for example, one police unit that was extremely experienced and hard-working asked all the key questions – which not only made the case solid but also uncovered secrets such as from whom the defendant counterfeiter sourced manufacturing machines, raw materials, packaging boxes and cartoons etc, as well as to whom the counterfeit goods were sold. By contrast, I also found that, sometimes, the police units (possibly due to their lack of knowledge about the wound care business or lack of experience in investigating IP crimes) asked questions that were either beating around the bush or were leading in nature, which enabled the defendants' attorneys to defend them more successfully.
This learning taught me to take an action, and whenever possible I provide a list of questions for the police to use as a check-list for interrogating counterfeiters. Once the case was prosecuted, I then instructed outside litigators to participate in the process and to bring me the court files, including the police interrogation records. This approach has enabled me to find the answers that I needed but could not get from other sources. For example, in a few cases, which involved highly sophisticated counterfeit networks, I was able to find out that some seemingly unrelated counterfeit networks actually interacted with each other to cooperate or even to divide their respective markets. This approach also enabled me to learn how sophisticated counterfeit rings managed to penetrate the supply chain and distribution channels of Company X – which helped me connect all of the dots together.
These experiences convinced me that the traditional administrative enforcement actions served only the function of 'firefighting'. The effective criminal investigation by the police served as 'arsonist hunting'. By reviewing quite a few police interrogation records, which contained the answers to the questions that I suggested the police asked, I realised that identifying and fixing loopholes in business processes – from sourcing materials to shipping finished products to consumers and customers – served the function of 'fire prevention'. Ultimately, effective brand protection must focus on all three – firefighting, arsonist hunting and fire prevention.
The challenge faced
Having said the above, when I was with another employer (Company Y) as the corporate senior IP counsel for Asia based in Shanghai, with the full support from the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and the Economic Crime Investigation Dept (ECID) of Shanghai Public Security Bureau, several counterfeit rings located in different provinces (which were pirating the company's industrial software) were investigated by the Chinese police, led by the Shanghai ECID. The total value of seized pirated software, when calculated on the basis of the retail price of legitimate copies, was 10 times higher than the amount of Company Y's annual software sales revenue the previous year in China. This was the highest-profile and biggest scale of piracy/counterfeit case in the company's history.
Unfortunately, once the cases in various provinces were transferred to the local procuratorates by the police, no further information was available. My repeated requests to visit those procuratorates were rejected by the prosecutors. One of the reasons that local procuratorates gave me for rejecting my visitation requests was that IP-related articles are stipulated in the Chapter of The Crimes of Destructing Socialist Market Order rather than in the 'property crimes' chapter of the PRC Criminal Law. Therefore, the public prosecution and trial of IP crimes were for protecting public interests, not for protecting any party's private property rights. In their view, IP owners are irrelevant to the public prosecution and trial. When I left the company in April 2014, 18 months later, no one knew whether these cases had been prosecuted or tried.
Actions and progress
Knowing the importance of IP owners participating in public prosecution and court trials, I therefore approached the Shanghai ECID, advising them what happened to Company Y's cases in various jurisdictions and arguing that, without a transparent public prosecution and trials process, the value of the ECID's hard work would not be visible and maximized. After learning of the situation, the Shanghai ECID connected me, in March 2014, with the leadership of the Financial & IP Dept (FIPD) of the Shanghai People's Procuratorate (SPP). The director of the FIPD fully agreed that IP rights are property rights and advised, that among the 16 districts in Shanghai, seven district procuratorates also had a FIPD. The director advised that the FIPDs of these seven district procuratorates started the practice in 2013 on an ad hoc basis to identify the IP owner(s) involved in IP crimes prosecutions and notify them to participate in the public prosecution and court trial, to exercise their rights and to fulfil the obligations of the 'victim' of the crime according to the PRC Criminal Procedure Law.
In several follow up meetings, the director and I kept exchanging thoughts on this subject. Several months later, with the efforts of the director and his director supervisor, the SPP officially issued a written instruction to the seven district procuratorates instructing the district FIPDs to systematically implement the practice and to use the standard form of notice (in both Chinese and English) designed by the SPP when notifying IP owners.
In order to make the job of SPP and the local procuratorates easier, I promised that the QBPC would assist the prosecutors in finding the contacts of the IP owners involved whenever needed, even if they were not QBPC members. A few months later, another district procuratorate set up its FIPD and, as a result, eight district procuratorates in Shanghai adopted the same best practice.
After experimenting with this best practice for three years (2015-2017), in early 2018 I proposed to the director that it was the right time for the SPP to consider implementing it in the other eight district procuratorates (there are 16 districts in Shanghai), even though they did not have FIPDs. The director immediately responded with, "this is doable". I therefore took the opportunity to go further by saying that many fake and shoddy quality goods crimes also involved counterfeit trademarks. However, since these crimes were prosecuted and tried as 'quality' related crimes, and knowing that these quality related crimes were not handled by FIPD but by the traditional Inspection Supervision Dept (ISD) and the Public Prosecution Department of SPP, I discussed the possibility of getting the director's help in coordinating with these two departments in the hope of achieving the objective that IP owners may also participate in public prosecutions against (and trial of) fake and shoddy quality goods crimes as long as their trademarks were involved in these crimes.
The director immediately invited the director of ISD to join the meeting, and the subsequent discussion was very smooth and positive. Two months after the meeting, SPP sent a written instruction to all the procuratorates in Shanghai, at various levels in all the 16 districts, that – effective immediately – IP owners should be identified and notified whenever an IP crime or fake and shoddy quality goods crime involving trademarks was prosecuted.
After the Shanghai best practice with the Economic Crime Prosecution Dept (ECPD) of Beijing People's Procuratorate, the ECPD also implemented the same by instructing all procuratorates in Beijing to adopt the same practice.
However, in jurisdictions other than Shanghai and Beijing, many procuratorates are either not familiar with this practice or are reluctant to do so, even though the police work closely with IP owners during criminal investigations. With this knowledge, in January I took an interview about IP protection in China, arranged by a standing committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). After the interview, I shared the Shanghai best practice with the CPPCC standing committee member, who viewed promotion of the practice as a very positive action to help improve criminal IP protection in China, if it can be adopted in other provinces. The CPPCC Standing Committee member therefore offered help to promote the Shanghai best practice in other provinces.
Furthermore, at a meeting between several QBPC representatives with the senior prosecutors of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), I reported the best practice of Shanghai and Beijing procuratorates to senior prosecutors and urged the SPP to help promote the best practice in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian Province. Their responses were very positive and encouraging.
That same afternoon, a QBPC member delegation had a meeting with Henan Provincial ECID and the ECID officers from various cities and counties of Hanan Province to follow up on various pending criminal investigation on counterfeit cases in Hanan Province and to discuss further collaboration. I sought help from Hanan Provincial ECID to encourage the ECIDs at various local levels to notify IP owners, whose intellectual property rights are violated, when the criminal investigation is concluded and the case is transferred to the responsible procuratorates for prosecution in order to enable the IP owners to proactively follow up with the procuratorates in a timely manner. The leadership team of Hanan Provincial ECID immediately responded that it was doable and said it would request the ECID officers at various local levels of the province to notify IP owners in a timely manner when the criminal investigation is concluded and the case is transferred to the procuratorate.
Rights available to victims of crimes under PRC Criminal Procedure Law:
• Cross examining the witness (Art. 59);
• Being informed of evaluation opinions (on technical issues) and applying for supplemental or re-evaluation (Art. 146);
• Being heard by the procuratorate when determining whether to indict defendants (Art.170);
• Appealing against a non-indictment decision (Art. 176);
• Being notified three days prior to the court hearing (Para. 3, Art. 182);
• Making a statement on the indicted crimes and questioning the defendants (Art. 186);
• Requesting witness & technical issue evaluator to testify in court (Art. 187);
• Reviewing and copying relevant court files (Para. 1, Art. 57 of Supreme People's Court Judicial Interpretation on Criminal Procedure Law-Fa Shi (2012) #21).
Our current goal is for the adoption of Shanghai best practice in the well-developed provinces such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian. If this further step proves to be successful, we will try our best to promote it and establish it as national practice. QBPC has also raised this issue with the top leader of the SPP and the leadership of the National Leading Group Office on the Fight against IPR Infringement & Counterfeiting to seek its help with the promotion.
The efforts made by Chinese police to conduct effective criminal investigation and their collaboration with IP owners can only have a positive impact if the case is finally prosecuted and tried. The participation of IP owners in the public prosecution and court trial not only helps enhance the efficiency of prosecutor's prosecution but also minimises the room for manipulating the trial due to corruption and/or local protection.

Ryanair is an Irish airway company that was established by Christopher Ryan in 1985. At the beginning, the firm had only one flight between London Gatwick and southeastern Ireland. Ryanair's first aircraft had only 15 seats. Because of tiny cabins, the firm hired only people who were less than 5 foot and 2 inches tall. Soon after its launch, the company decided to work on Dublin-London route. This time was very prosperous. During this period, a number of the firm's passengers grew from five thousand to eighty-two thousand. However, in 1990, Ryanair accumulated big losses and after that, it started to position itself as the greatest European low-cost airline company. It was completely new model in the transportation industry. Everyone wanted to buy a ticket from the Ryanair Company. In 1997, the firm launched its first low-cost airfares in Europe. The same year, it got listed on Irish Stock Exchange. The company also has created different kinds of promotions, which is very attractive to the customers. Today, Ryanair is the largest low-cost airline in Europe. Every year, it carries more than seven million passengers. It has two hundred and twenty routes and operates in nineteen countries. The company concentrates its activity in 12 European bases and has more than 2,600 employees. Many different factors have an influence on Ryanair's success. For example, its services, materials, work force, money, equipment, work system and other elements. The current paper examines the company's services, capacity planning, facilities, equipment and work system design that help Ryanair achieve success.
The Ryanair Company offers a low-cost service stimulating demand. It is designed mostly for passengers who can choose an alternative kind of transportation or can decide not to travel at all. The major goal of the company is to provide the best service for its customers. Association of European Airlines shows statistics, which says that Ryanair is more punctual, has less cancelations and less lost bags than its competitors. Satisfaction of clients is very important to the company. Customer service is also assessed by mystery-passengers and other kinds of surveys. Ryanair comes up with frequent point-to-point service. Now, its routes are not only short-haul. Ryanair provides flights to different countries and various destinations. However, it cooperates with secondary airports, which are located in remote cities. That is what actually makes Ryanair a low-cost company. It provides point-to-point flying. This type of flying allows the firm to offer direct non-stop routes. Such strategy helps the company to avoid different costs such as for connecting passengers, baggage transfer, and transit passenger assistance.
When planning flights, Ryanair usually chooses secondary airports, because they are less congested than major ones. It also provides lower rates of on-time departures, fewer delays, and lower handling costs. Moreover, the company has its own Internet booking facility. This service allowed Ryanair to remove travel agent commissions. That is why the company receives 99% of its revenues from direct sales from its website.
The company is trying to reduce its costs by choosing less expensive gate locations. Ryanair prefers outdoor boarding stairs because they are much cheaper and more efficient to use when comparing with jetways. Since 2009, the firm has required all passengers to check-in on the Internet. The company chose this to reduce waiting times at airports and airport handling costs. Moreover, it is much more convenient to the customers because they spend less time in the queue. Ryanair also has a checked-bag fee. If the customer wants to take the big luggage, he/she should book this service in advance and pay an additional fee. That gave the company an opportunity to reduce the number of bags carried by passengers.
Ryanair has an Internet booking facility. It enables customers to make reservations through the Internet and make a payment in the real time on Ryanair.com website. After the reservation service was launched, the company started to promote its system through television, newspaper and radio advertising. As a result, online sales grew very fast and now Internet reservations take up to 99% of all reservations.
In 2013, Ryanair made its website much easier to use. The process of the reservation was reduced from seventeen to five clicks. It also has a convenient fare finder facility that enables customers to find the lowest rates and book a flight without any troubles. On July 15, 2014, the company launched a new mobile app. Ryanair also provides the in-flight sale of beverages, food, and merchandise.
The resources of the company include physical resources (headquarter, aircraft fleet, secondary airports), financial resources (come from the founder's family, creditors , shareholders and investors) and human resources (knowledgeable employees).
Safety is the primary priority of Ryanair. That is why the company hires only professional pilots and flight attendants. All aircraft crew is being trained in accordance with the highest European airline industry standards. During its thirty-year operating history, the company has not any fatal accident happened with the aircraft. It is a low-cost airline. However, this strategy does not have any reflection on safety, maintenance or training within the company.
Ryanair's pilots, flight attendants, maintenance and ground operations personnel should be trained, both initially and recurrently, to cope with unusual situations. An initial training for the company's flight attendants is based on safety procedures. Ryanair also provides higher salaries to those of its engineers who complete advanced training in certain fields of aircraft maintenance. The company has four its own Boeing 737-800 aircraft simulators for training of its pilots. IAA (Irish Aviation Authority) regulations require pilots to have the license and specific ratings in order to be permitted to work as commercial pilot. In addition, all pilots have adhere to IAA regulations while executing their functions. They should also have a good physical form and have a medical certificate that confirms it.
Ryanair has an unique resource. It is its employees. The company is trying to improve their skills, because it helps to achieve excellence in their service. Ryanair wants to improve staff by promoting young talents. One more resource that is special is professional pilots. They should be informed about any changes in international flying regulations as that is necessary for them to do their work efficiently.
As long as the Ryanair Company provides services to its customers, it does not need any materials to produce any goods. Specification of the firm's work requires it to buy a lot of fuel. Operating expenses include the cost of jet fuel, which makes 45% of Ryanair's total operating expenses. Prices on fuel quoted in the US dollars depend on oil prices that change respectively to the prices on the stock market. These costs (in Europe they are expressed in euro) may increase in case of strengthening of the value of the US dollar against the euro. The company is trying to reduce consumption of fuel and protect the environment.
Layout and Design of the Facilities
Facility layout and design is an important component of Ryanair's operations. It helps to smooth flow of work, material, and information through the system. Facility is the space where a business activity is taking place. The company has good facility layout and design because they meet the needs of its customers and personnel.
The principal properties owned or leased by Ryanair are Dublin Airport (corporate headquarters), Phoenix House in Dublin (reservation center), Stansted Airport (sales office and operation center), Dublin Airport (aircraft maintenance), East Midlands Airport (simulator and training center), Stockholm Skavsta Airport and Glasgow Prestwick Airport (aircraft maintenance), Stansted storage facilities (aircraft maintenance). In all airports, the company provides efficient, user-friendly facilities, for example, ample room for passengers. They also can easily access to the runway and terminal building. Ryanair has built headquarters near Swords. Moreover, the company has spent almost eleven million euros to buy new premises in the Airside Business Park and five million euros to furnish it.
Employees enjoy their workplace because it is equipped with the indoor slide, a pool table, pinball machines and many more other possibilities.
The Ryanair Company is focused on operating a single aircraft type, because it makes controlling of acquisition costs much easier. For now, the airline operates only next generation Boeings 737-800s and plans to increase their amount. Ryanair has signed a very favorable contract with the Boeing Company. That is a great advantage to the former. First, it enables Ryanair to reduce costs associated with maintenance, purchase and storage of spare parts. Second, the company does not need to schedule additional personnel training. It gives Ryanair flexibility in scheduling of crews and equipment.
Ryanair fleet consists of 297 Boeings 737-800, which are short-to-medium range aircrafts each having 189 seats. The basic price for each of Boeing 737-800 is approximately $78.1 million. Each such aircraft is equipped with effective save systems that include advanced traffic collision avoidance systems, auto land capability and enhanced ground-proximity warning systems.
Design of Work Systems
Ryanair has its own interesting type of work system. The company also has a monopoly on almost all its routes. The key component of Ryanair's success is its Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary, who has a lot of enthusiasm and energy. His leadership style is autocratic, he effectively manages the firm's resources. Ryanair is famous for being tough on its employees. The company also ignores trade unions because it prefers to hire outsourced contract staff. An interesting feature of Ryanair is that it does not provide meals to the passengers. The company is always trying to find and implement new sources of revenue. For example, it charges for television, on-board shopping and gambling. The salaries of all the flight attendants depend on the quantity of items that were sold onboard. Ryanair has removed traditional services such as seat allocation, meals and drink unlike other airway companies usually offer their passengers free meals and drinks. The company also earns profit from secondary services. For example, it charges its customers for services offered on board, travelling insurance, car rentals and the Internet.
Ryanair has a good relationship with its employees. The company motivates them. There is an Employee Representation Committee, which is a group of employees, including pilots. The company negotiates different issues with this organization. Mostly, these negotiations concern salaries, work practices and conditions of employment. The senior management of Ryanair regularly meets with the representative of ERC. They usually discuss all aspects of the business and those issues that relate to different employee groups. Ryanair is trying to improve the productivity of the staff. Moreover, its personnel are already highly productive. The compensation system emphasizes productivity-based pay incentives. For example, the employees receive bonus payments from onboard sales of products. Another payment system is based on the number of hours or sectors flown by pilots and flight attendants.
In conclusion, the Ryanair Company created a revolutionary business model in the airline industry. It uses modern aircrafts, which helps to reduce consumption of fuel and, in addition, environmental damage inflicted. The company's business is accumulated mostly in remote cities. As a result, economic activity in these regions has increased. Ryanair expects to have approximately 426 aircraft in its operating fleet by March 31, 2019. The company is very popular in Europe. This gives it great competitive advantages. That is why the firm has low costs and high profits. However, as the European airline industry continues to grow, Ryanair has to work hard to remain the cheapest airway company for years.

U.S. Firm Ocean Infinity Says it's Hopeful of Getting MH370 Search Contract Soon
January 3, 2018 by Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 (Reuters) – U.S.-based seabed exploration firm Ocean Infinity on Wednesday said it was moving a vessel closer to a possible search area for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 as it soon expects to be awarded a contract by Malaysia to resume the search.
The disappearance of the aircraft en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014 with 239 people aboard ranks among the world's greatest aviation mysteries. Australia, China and Malaysia ended a fruitless A$200-million ($156.62 million) search in January last year.
But in October, Malaysia said it was in talks with Ocean Infinity to resume the search on a "no-cure, no-fee" basis, meaning it will only get paid if it finds the plane.
"Ocean Infinity is hopeful of receiving the final contract award for the resumption of the search for MH370 over the coming days," a company spokesman told Reuters in an emailed statement.
"With a relatively narrow weather window, we are moving the vessel, Seabed Constructor, towards the vicinity of the possible search zone. This is designed to save time should the contract award be forthcoming, as hoped," he said.
Reuters shipping data showed the Seabed Constructor left Durban, South Africa, on Tuesday and was headed to Perth, Australia, where it is due on Feb. 7.
Malaysia's deputy transport minister, Aziz Kaprawi, said the government was negotiating final terms of the agreement with Ocean Infinity and he was not aware of the vessel's movement.
"We are in the final stages of the decision. On our part, we have yet to finalise the agreement," he told Reuters.
When asked whether Australia and China would be consulted about the contract award, Aziz said: "Basically, Malaysia will make the decision, as this offer was made to the Malaysian government. The cost will also be decided by Malaysia."
Investigators believe someone may have deliberately switched off the transponder of the Boeing 777 before diverting it over the Indian Ocean.
Various pieces of debris have been collected from Indian Ocean islands and Africa's east coast and at least three of them have been confirmed as coming from the missing plane.

Sterlite Copper, a business unit of Vedanta, a United Kingdom-based multinational mining and metals conglomerate, set up the copper smelting plant in 1996.
On Tuesday the demonstrations turned violent, with media reports and officials saying protesters began rampaging through the town, pelting police with stones, overturning cars and setting fires.
"The inaction of the government has led to the people's protests, and police resorting to firing to control it. Action should be taken to shut down the plant immediately to address this issue", M.K. Stalin, leader of the main opposition group in Tamil Nadu, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, said in a Facebook post.
Sterlite Copper has requested government approval to expand its enormous plant in Tuticorin.
The police shot dead protesters who were calling for the closure of the plant owned by Vedanta Resources.
The district collector, the chairperson and member secretary of Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, the secretaries holding the environment portfolios in the central and state governments, the ministers of environment at the state and Centre, and the chief minister of Tamil Nadu need to account for their inaction in the face of overwhelming evidence of illegalities, environmental harm and damage to public health.
Protesters complained that the state government had not responded to their demands.
Plans to double its capacity are also under threat after a local court delivered an interim order staying the expansion until a further hearing, to be held by September 23, Vedanta said Wednesday.
About 20 police officers were also injured in the skirmish, which occurred in the southern port city Tuticorin.
The Deputy Chief Minister was speaking to reporters here and he also added that compensation to the injured were being paid.
Vedanta Resources' stock was down about 12% at 1755 IST on the London Stock Exchange. "I would like to make it clear that Sterlite plant will be permanently shut", Panneerselvam said. "The company is working with the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of our employees, facilities and the surrounding community", she said.
The company on Monday called the closure of the plant it has operated for over 22 years an "unfortunate development".
The plant was shut for more than two months in 2013 by an environmental court after residents complained about emissions.
Residents and environmental activists have long demanded a shutdown of the copper smelter, India's second-biggest with an annual production of more than 400,000 tonnes, citing air and water pollution. Days later, India's Supreme Court ordered the company to pay damages of 100 crore rupees ($15 million) for environmental rehabilitation measures.
Bolton, a National Security Council spokesman said , consulted widely with his colleagues and European allies on Iran. Altmaier said Germany wished to avoid "a coil of escalation" in transatlantic exchange connections.
