...The effects of music on children and young people. 1. The effect of music on IQ Campabello, Nicolette; De Carlo, Mary Jane; O'Neil, Jean; Vacek, Mary Jill Music Enhances Learning. Dissertations/Theses; Tests/Questionnaires. 2002 An action research project implemented musical strategies to affect and enhance student recall and memory. The target population was three suburban elementary schools near a major midwestern city: (1) a kindergarten classroom contained 32-38 students; (2) a second grade classroom contained 23 students and five Individualized Education Program (IEP) students; and (3) a fifth grade classroom. Students exhibited difficulty recalling facts and information in a variety of subject areas evidenced through an inability to gain mastery of grade level skill areas. Research suggests that young students have difficulty understanding concepts and lack the ability and desire to learn. A successful program needs to be developed to teach these concepts. A review of solution strategies suggests that the following musical techniques proved to be helpful for increasing student recall because the songs helped with phonemic training, mnemonics, setting desired skills to familiar tunes, and linking connection to cultural themes. Research has shown that preschool children taught with an early exposure to music through games and songs showed an IQ advantage of 10 to 20 points over those children taught without exposure to the songs. In the same study, students at age...

...9-209-001 REV: NOVEMBER 3, 2010 C. FRITZ FOLEY ROBIN GREENWOOD JAMES QUINN NEC Electronics In early July 2007, Alp Ercil, Managing Partner and portfolio manager of Perry Capital’s (“Perry”) Asian portfolio, was considering options for how best to manage the $150 million position his firm had in NEC Electronics (NECE), the semiconductor subsidiary of Japanese electronics conglomerate NEC. In recent days, the NECE subsidiary had garnered Ercil’s full attention. On the heels of attending NECE’s annual meeting, he had learned that the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) was placing NECE on a watchlist for possible delisting due to its concentrated ownership structure. To Ercil, this was yet another sign that the investment was not going as planned - the stock was down considerably since Perry initiated the position in late 2005 (see Exhibit 1). Ercil took a moment to reflect on the recent history with NECE. When Perry Capital made the initial investment in 2005, Ercil had every expectation for success. Ercil’s team felt that NECE’s microcontroller unit (“MCU”) business,1 which supplied chips to major automobile manufacturers, operated at a world-class level with high growth potential and solid margins. NECE’s Computing, Consumer and Discrete businesses were generally competitive. However, the Communications business, which supplied semiconductors for mobile phones, appeared to be a constant drag on NECE’s cash flow and earnings. Specifically, Perry believed that NECE...

The industry has spread far and wide with over four thousand players comprising of global MNCs, Indian players, Captives and small scale set ups. As is natural for any sector, the top five have consolidated to garner a significant share of the revenues ( 37%) while the top ten have taken 41% share of the total revenues. This has primarily been driven by the ability to scale and offer multiple service capability. The smaller players have been either de rated by circumstances, and hence gone down the margin curve or ended up taking bets that have gone the wrong direction. This trend over the last few years has led to a significant divergence in the size and structure of the Indian IT services sector – there are players with size of USD 2-10 bn range competing with the global players, and then we have a set of relatively smaller service providers in the revenue size of sub USD 500 mn still around. And some of these now are emerging into credible players in some of the...

We continued to broaden our product offerings and experienced additional penetration into the mid/premium tier product markets. Net sales of converted products exceeded $100 million for the first time in the Company’s history. During 2013, we focused on continuing to increase sales of converted product to fully consume our parent roll capacity. Our efforts centered on new product development in both paper making and converting and combining those efforts with an effective sales and marketing plan. As a result, we continued to expand our converted product offerings into the mid/premium tier market, creating new sales opportunities which resulted in shipments of 8.2 million cases, or approximately 53,000 tons, an increase of 16.2% over case shipments in 2012. More specifically, during 2013, our net sales increased 15.4% to $116.4 million compared to $100.8 million in 2012. This included a 21.1% increase in converted product sales. Our sales of mid-tier and premium tier products comprised 37.9% of our unit net sales in 2013, compared to 15.0% in 2012 and 6.8% in 2011. We also focused considerable efforts on controlling production costs while improving quality attributes to supplement the high quality production capabilities of...

...EUROPE Mobile marketing Dawn of a new medium Mobile usage is exploding and ad revenues should follow We think 2010 marked the crux of the hockey stick for mobile marketing. Smartphones are already 35% of the handset market in the US, Europe and Japan, and tablet computers are now taking off. Apple and Android apps set a new standard, and mobile is now at the forefront of marketers‟ conscience. A $14 billion market – at least – by 2015 This report focuses on marketing, not tech or telecoms, though we incorporate views from Macquarie‟s internet, telecoms and software analysts. We estimate the global mobile ad market could grow from about $3.5bn in 2010 to $14bn in 2015. Mobile only comprises 1% of total ad spending today, but we think this could rise to 3-4% in the next 5 years, and 5-8% over time. We believe mobile marketing and services represent an incremental growth opportunity for ad agencies of anywhere from 0.2-1.3%, and can help elevate agency organic growth to long-term GDP-plus rates. Inside Mobile media usage is exploding; ad spending is following The mobile device landscape Cues from Japan and emerging markets Mobile marketing channels The opportunity for ad agencies Data and privacy issues Appendix: Mobile marketing players 3 6 9 11 21 25 26 The ultimate targeted advertising medium This is a different type of media, incorporating display ads through both apps and browsers, search, messaging (sms and mms), location-based services such as in-store couponing...

...Enablers of Exuberance Jennifer S. Taub Sept. 4, 2009 DISCUSSION DRAFT Enablers of Exuberance: Legal Acts and Omissions that Facilitated the Global Financial Crisis Jennifer S. Taub1 I. Introduction This paper explores certain legal acts and omissions that facilitated the over-leveraging and near collapse of the global financial system. These ―Legal Enablers‖ fostered the boom that enriched a class of financial intermediaries who followed a storied tradition of gambling away ―other people‘s money.‖2 These mechanisms also made the pain of the bust disproportionately felt by the middle class and poor while shielding the middlemen who created the problems. These legal Enablers permitted the growth of a shadow banking system, without investment limits, transparency or government oversight. In the shadows grew a variety of highly leveraged private investment pools, undercapitalized conduits of securitized loans and speculation in complex credit derivatives. The rationale for allowing this unregulated, parallel system was that it helped to create innovation and provide liquidity. The conventional wisdom was that any risks associated with a hands-off approach could be managed by the ―invisible hand‖3 of the market. In other words, instead of public police, it relied upon private gatekeepers. A legal framework including legislation, rules and court decisions supported this system. This legal structure depended upon corporate managers, counterparties, ―sophisticated investors‖ and the...
