...Despite brutal competition, Singapore’s fashion industry experiences a rebirth April 20, 2012 by Terence LEE It's a packed house at the retail launch of PARCO next NEXT's new labels on 14th April. Globalization has dealt local fashion labels a bad hand. It used to be that fashion designers in Singapore could fill a niche between mass market apparel from the department stores and expensive luxury brands. David Wang, vice president of the Textile & Fashion Federation (TaFf), lived in that era. As a local fashion pioneer in the 80′s, the runway for him to maneuver was much wider. Global brands like Topshop, Uniqlo, and H&M were not around to compete for the Singaporean’s fashion budget. But the times changed. “During my time, Singaporeans had pride in local brands. The good old days are gone. Now they look at price,” he says, “they’re very practical. If they look at a dress from a local designer that’s $399, they won’t support her. They’d rather go to H&M to pick up an entirely new wardrobe.” While there’s a lot of hullabaloo these days about the power of e-commerce as a powerful, superlative, enabler for startups, David cautions that the Internet’s low barrier of entry results in more competition. Some blogshops, for example, offer cutthroat prices for their items. In the face of such a brutal environment, PARCO next NEXT was started in 2010 to prop up the local fashion scene. It is a fashion incubator that picks promising fashion designers and puts them...

...1st June: The Sensex closed below psychological mark of 16000 at 15965.16 down 253.37 points or 1.53%. The Nifty ends at 4841.60 down 82.65 points or 1.68%. The breadth of the market was negative with Advance Decline ratio at 1:2. About 836 shares advanced, 1820 shares declined, and 768 shares remain unchanged. A slew of bad economic cues from across the globe didn't help Indian equities either. Reports of monsoon rains over India's mainland will be delayed by about four days also weighed on sentiment. A whole host of disappointing macro economic data including weak PMI data from many countries across the globe dragged the bourses down. BSE FMCG was almost flat with a gain of 0.13%. TATA Coffee closed at 839.85 losing 1.53% along with market sentiments. Volume of TATA Coffee was just 7978 as compared to the average volume of 61877. 8th June: Today, the BSE benchmark recovered 234 points from intraday low of 16,485.02, before closed up 69.82 points at 16,668.87. Meanwhile, the NSE benchmark rebounded from intraday low of 4,994.80, which ended up 18.70 points at 5,068.35. The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty rebounded quite smartly in late trade on Friday that helped them to close higher in all sessions of the week. The market saw highest ever weekly absolute gains in 2012, with the Nifty rising 4.7% and the Sensex 5%. Recovery in European markets and Indian rupee, and short covering helped the market to bounce back today. Looking at the sharp recovery, it seems that the market...

I have always been a visual type learner and it seems to stimulate my brain for retention purposes when learning, as opposed to listening to someone with no visual aides. Although I have retired from the military after 28 years of service, my intentions are to accept the position for the Army Substance and Abuse Program (ASAP) as a Prevention Coordinator and Educator when the new fiscal year begins. A majority of the curriculum deals with visual aides and hands on, which will be an advantage for me and not necessarily an advantage for all the students in which, I will adjust for them accordingly. The article focused on the importance of outsourcing strategies on business organizations. It related that outsourcing can be applied in various business processes including engineering, manufacturing, and marketing. It further related that several sourcing strategies techniques including quadrant one, which addressed the disparity in the process, quadrant to, which performed internal processes, and quadrant three, which provided many routine processes.

...Josh Lee COM215 August 11, 2014 Sara Wallace Case Study Analysis Paper ABC Inc., is in need of 15 new trainees and has entrusted their new campus recruiter Carl Robins with the task. The company’s Operations Supervisor, Monica Carrolls will be gaining these trainings in her department and is expecting them to be in orientation by June 15 and begin working by July 1st. While it is possible for Robins to complete everything by June 15, it is not guaranteed, and there are many obstacles to overcome in a short amount of time. Robbins hired 15 new trainees for Carroll, and was confident that he would have the trainees ready for orientation by June 15 and ready to work by July 1st. The new trainees paperwork was not reviewed until the last week of May, by then it was determine nothing was prepared for June 15’s orientation. Applications were incomplete, none of the trainees had complete their drug test, their transcripts were not on file, orientation packets were incomplete, and finally, the training room was already booked for the entire month of June. At this point in the analysis, it would seem Robins will be unable to conduct orientation on June 15, due to the fact he is unprepared and running out of time. The key issues ABC Inc. and Robins face are the following: the incomplete orientation manuals and the 15 new trainees that have not been drug tested. Currently, Robins has only three orientation packets, and they are missing several pages, when in fact he is in need of 15...

...19th June, 2012 Final Research Essay Is the Popular Korean Animation Character Pororo Really an Educational Friend? In South Korea, there is an ongoing Pororo boom among children. ‘Porong Porong Pororo’ is an original Korean animation series that is about the adventures of Pororo and his friends in the North Pole (Appendix 1). People call this penguin character as ‘Potongreung’ which means ‘President Pororo’ in Korean, as it is like the president among children. As this nickname represents, kids love this animation so much but this popularity is a huge problem because it has gotten to the point where no one questions its educational values. Currently as of June 19th, not a single article was found exposing about the negative aspects of Pororo. Mothers turn on Pororo for their kids, in the hope that it will have educational benefits. However, contrary to many mothers’ belief, Pororo can have some negative effects on children’s education in terms of intellectual, physical/social, and emotional development. First of all, Pororo can have a negative effect on a child’s intellectual development. Watching TV affects children’s brain activity to become passive towards learning. Studies show that watching TV reduces alpha waves, which is associated with relaxed meditative states. This creates “mind fog” state which means people feel it’s harder to concentrate and stay focused, like daydreaming (Carmichael). Thus if children watch the Pororo animation for a long time, their mind will be...

He joined Young Austria, a left-wing emigrant youth movement, but left in 1943 in protest at its dogmatism. In 1944 he married Maria...
