...Role of Malls in Dubai Shopping Festival Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) takes place every winter with its mammoth array of discounts, competitions, prizes, fireworks and entertainment. DSF offers amazing shopping discounts, attracting holiday makers from around the globe keen on grabbing a bargain. Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) started on February 15, 1996 as a retail event intended to revitalize retail trade in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It has since been promoted as a tourist attraction. This yearly month long event is usually scheduled during the first quarter of the year, attracting about 3 million people to Dubai. It is the region’s largest and longest running shopping and entertainment extravaganza. DSF has had around 35 million visitors since 1996, who have spent close to Dh74 billion in shopping malls, airlines, hotels and entertainment outlets. In 2009 alone, visitors reached the 3.35 million mark and spent Dh9.8 billion in 32 days of the festival. During Dubai Shopping Festival, shops offer deep discounts on their merchandise, daily car raffles are drawn, and fireworks light Dubai’s night sky. Tourists from all around the world are lured not only for Dubai's tax free shopping, but also for all of the events that take place during the festival. In 2006, the festival was cancelled due to the death of Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. In addition to Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai also hosts Dubai Summer Surprises. Dubai is sometimes called the 'city...

Face to face contact also is not used because relationships between firm and customers are not interpersonal. The duration of exchange is discrete, but in some cases occurred over time. In this type of marketing the aim is to make the customer to buy at least once, but it is still possible that customer will buy product or use service again. Formality of exchange is very high. Managerial intent only is to attract customers, not retention of the customers.

...RDG099 Prof. Mitchell Lucy Bergin Karate “Karate aims to build character, improve human behavior, and cultivate modesty; it does not however, guarantee it.” — Yasuhiro Konishi When I started karate, it was like I found my inner Mr Miagi. I felt like I was supposed to do it, and that it was made for me. Even though I just recently started, I have learned so much and have gained a lot of knowledge. Karate is unique because it does not only exercise the body, bur promotes health to the mind and soul. Karate teaches the athlete self-defense, and great reflexes. The student does not have to be psychically fit in order to join, and is able to work at ones own pace. Karate teaches self confidence, team work, self-esteem, and morals. In this world, self defense is unfortunately a skill we need to learn. Karate teaches how to defend yourself, while also teaching how to be calm in a stressful situation. Self-control can help in social situations, and it helps with self confidence. Many sports are just comprised of practices and games. Karate teaches in levels, making the student constantly become involved. This helps keep students off the streets and away from drugs and violence. It also helps the student become more aware of their surroundings and the people around them. Karate isn’t just about being able to take someone down, though that is an important part. Its about learning respect and knowing when to use your knowledge for good instead of bad. There is more than one person...

...Retired track and field athlete and three-time Olympic champion Gail Devers once said, “Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can’t stay down. We can’t allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn’t think we could be that strong.” In the biography Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, Louis portrays what this quote expresses with his determination to never give up, even in a time of major crisis. In the beginning of Hillenbrand’s book, she described Louie as a delinquent child. He stole from others in his free time; however, he often gave anything he stole away, hinting that Louie might not be all that others claimed:...

Judea was governed by Roman Procurators and their job was mainly to collect and deliver the annual taxes for the empire. Often, more than what was required for the empire was collect, to which, the Procurators would be able to keep as their own, so often, Procurators would institute ridiculous taxes such as confiscatory taxes. Rome also took over the appointment of the High Priests, the High Priests that were supposed to represent the Jews before God but would normally side with Rome and its decisions or ideals. Exasperating the Jews, in the year 39, Roman Emperor Caligula declared himself a god, then he ordered a statue of himself put in every temple in the empire. The Jewish people alone refused this order citing that they would not defile God's temple with a pagan god. When Caligula found out about this, he threatened...

The ten McDonald's I visited in Mumbai and Delhi were pac ked with young people, children , and yo ung p a renrs enjoying ice c reams, sp icy potato wedges (instead of the usual frenc h fries), and Happy M ea ls.

...were the massacre happened, we can clearly hear the children dying and the mothers in absolutely despair, and finally absolutely silence. The parents believed Jim was almost divine and that his words were absolutely the truth, so they followed him to the end. In Milgram’s experiment, the subjects delivering the shocks were accompanied by a man wearing a doctor uniform, when in doubt, the subjects would refer to the “doctor” and do what he would tell them to do, in this case, it meant giving someone else a lethal electric shock. As stated before, what happened in Jonestown was collective suicide, were all individual in the farm killed themselves and their children on purpose. But, many individual might have not agreed with what was happening bur did it anyways to follow the group. Perhaps they thought someone else would stop the madness, but unfortunately, no one did. But if this idea is possible, why no one did anything substantial to stop what was happening? In 1974, Sandra Zahler, a 25 years old woman in New York, USA, was beaten to death. Her struggle was heard by her neighbors but they did nothing to help. In the same location, in 1964, Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death, and 40 witnesses watched her dying, nobody called the police or tried to help in any way. The neighbors of Sandra or the witnesses of Kitty, claimed that they didn’t call the police because they thought someone else would. This behavior of not accepting responsibility is known as the bystander effect;...

...As a result of 3.8 billion years of “research and development” (evolution), nature provides a set of design blueprints that may be used to guide us to create elegant, sustainable, and innovative designs for human technologies (Benyus 1997). The field of biomimicry analyzes nature‟s best ideas and adapts them for human use (Benyus 1997). The built environment could benefit from the integration of a discipline such as biomimicry into the design process. In 1997, Janine Benyus published a revolutionary book called Biomimicry. The word Biomimicry is derived from two Greek words: bios which means life, and mimesis which means to imitate. In her treatise, Benyus describes “a new science that studies nature‟s models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems, e.g. a solar cell inspired by a leaf.” (Benyus, 1997). t is said that the need is the mother of invention . People have been inventing whole of their lives to accommodate their requirements. This paper will discuss how men approached to some of their development and what roles did nature and some of its designs play to inspire inventors. The paper will go farther than this to look up at a new scientific method that imitate natural superior system to improve humans' life. It will concentrate mainly on the advancements of communication systems due to researches on this science which is called Biomimetics. Finally it will try to identify any existing similar natural and human-made...
