...Have you ever wondered what actually happened in Amelia Earhart’s last flight? Well, many have theories but some of the most common theories would suggest that the flight around the world was simply a cover-up for a spy mission, commissioned by President Roosevelt to determine what the Japanese were doing in the Pacific or that she and Fred Noonan, her flight crewmen, weren't merely swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean, but however captured by the Japanese. No evidence to support either of those or any other theory for that matter has ever been established (1). Amelia Earhart (1897-1939) was an American woman aviation pioneer and the finest in woman’s early supporting for equal rights. She was an incredibly intellectual female; entered the seventh grade at the age of twelve, which lead her through her life from childhood to her disappearance on 2 July 1937 (2). Because of her many accomplishments, her capability to always have passion and persistence in aviation and life, and her aptitude to encourage others, Amelia should be admired. The main reason that Amelia should be admired is for her various accomplishments that lead to her success. On October 22, 1922, Amelia set the world record for female pilots at an altitude of 14,000 feet in a Kinner Airster biplane (2). Although she was only a passenger in a plane flown by Wilmer Stutz and Louis Gordon, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic nonstop on June 17 and 18, 1928 (3). For accomplishing this flight she was...

...The Second World War “We are about to embark on the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you…” – Dwight D. Eisenhower. These words of the great Five-Star General Eisenhower, that were spoken before D-Day, only scrape the surface of how gigantic and complex the Second World War was, and how it shaped the world for the years to come. The conflicts that occurred in this bloody war would shock the world and be remembered even seventy plus years into the future. This war was “Power-packed” with huge names from the world’s super powers; huge names that have been remembered for the years to follow, such as Roosevelt, Stalin, Mussolini, Tojo, Churchill, Eisenhower, Hitler, etc. All of the battles that ensued, had either positively or negatively affected the world as we know today and held huge roles in the “Great War” that many people’s grandfathers, not just Americans, fought in for what each of their countries’ beliefs. World War II, or WW2 for short, spanned from 1SEP1939 to 2SEP1945, to set the backdrop for this war, Germany was in substantial debt from the treaties signed that forced the German people to pay the Allied Powers large sums of money to end World War I, this allowed for the Nazi party to acquire a majority in Germany’s government, and eventually become the nation’s official political party. Their main point to the people was to blame communism and communists, and used the Jewish people as the face for their...

...Chapter Five Ecotourism and Green Productivity in Bangladesh Ruby Afroze Part B Selected Country Papers Introduction Bangladesh is a country of vast, largely unknown and unspoiled natural beauty and reserves, which are simply unique and fascinating. These natural phenomena are composed of hills and vales, forests, rivers, lakes, sea and beaches, and the evergreen landscape embracing the country. Bangladesh emerged as an independent country in 1971 after a nine-month war of liberation. It was previously called Bengal. The country, comprising an area of 144 000 km2, is situated in the northeastern side of the South Asia sub-continent. The topography is mainly flat alluvial plain, criss-crossed by the world’s three mighty river systems, the Padma (Ganges), the Jamuna and the Meghna and their innumerable tributaries. The east and the northeast of the country joins India, and the southeastern part, adjoining Myanmar, is mainly hilly with dense forest. This area comprises Chittagong and the three Hilly Districts (as they are known) of Rangamati, Bandarban and Khagrachari, with an average elevation of 610 m. These folded ranges run parallel to each other in the north–south direction and the hill slopes are generally enveloped by dense virgin forest. In the south and southwest, alongside the coast of the Bay of Bengal, lies the Sundarbans, better known as a swampy tropical mangrove forest, the home of the Royal Bengal Tiger. These areas are all ideal for...

...as groups concerned with the empowerment of marginalized sections of society, such as women, indigenous peoples, and youth groups, and other community based organizations. . Major public interest groups are increasingly contributing efforts towards sustainable development through participation, advocacy, demonstration projects, monitoring and research, as well as cooperation and networking with other NGOs and government departments. This chapter reviews the contributions made by such groups to the promotion of environmental knowledge, awareness and action in the region. Traditionally, community based organizations played an important role in the management of common property resources such as forests and fisheries in the Asian and Pacific Region. Although over successive years their role was reduced by governments in some countries, recent years have seen a re-emergence of community involvement and the development and growth of NGOs, youth, women and indigenous people’s groups and associations of farmers and businessmen. NGOs have, in particular, played an important role in raising environmental concerns, developing awareness of environmental issues and promoting sustainable development. The encouragement of public participation in environmental management through legislation in recent years has also enhanced the role of NGOs and Major Groups. In Thailand, Article 67 of the 2007 Constitution recognizes the rights of people to participate with State and communities...

...Strategic Analysis of Syngenta Jolly was a young, bright girl, studying her Bachelor of Business Administration. When she came home from college, her mind was occupied by the assignment given to her in her Business Strategy Class. She had to pick up a company of her choice and complete strategic analysis, over a period of three years, consisting of size of the organization, financial performance, operational performance, some tailored measures of performance relating to the organization’s industry, competitor analysis, strategic actions of the organization, and strategic issues faced. She thought that she would figure out what procedure to follow from her prescribed textbook ‘Strategic Management – Theory and Application,’ by Adrian Haberberg & Alison Rieple. After a certain thought, she chose Syngenta – headquartered at Basel, Switzerland. Jolly referred to the textbook and jotted down the procedure as below. Procedure for doing the Strategic Analysis: 1) Evaluate financial performance: Calculate the following quantities and analyze them and find out the trend in the last three years.

...MAJESTICA HOTEL IN SHANGHAI? On March 20, 2005, Richard Roy, executive vicepresident of Majestica Hotels Inc., was in China, for negotiations with Commercial Properties of Shanghai Limited (CPS). They were discussing a possible management contract under which Majestica would be the operator of a new luxury hotel there owned by Shanghai Industrial Holdings. Majestica Hotels Inc. was one of the world’s leading operators of luxury hotels. The expansion into mainland China had been on management’s agenda since 1999. The opportunity emerged in late 2003 when a close friend of Majestica’s chief executive officer (CEO) revealed that CPS was looking for an operator for its new luxury hotel under construction in Shanghai. Majestica immediately sent representatives to Shanghai to explore the possibility of becoming the operator. Majestica’s proposal was welcomed by CPS, and a letter of intent was signed on August 20, 2004. However, in discussions regarding the management contract, the two parties had reached a deadlock. The key issues to be resolved were the contract term, and the responsibilities and rights of Majestica as the operator, and CPS as the owner, of the hotel. This Shanghai deal was important for Majestica’s global expansion. It would not only provide Majestica with the opportunity to enter the China market but could also set a precedent for Majestica’s future expansion in other emerging markets. MAJESTICA HOTELS INC. Majestica was founded in 1970 in Western...
