...Binder, Gabrielle 2 March 2014 MUSC 1301 Sweeney Todd: Robert E. Lee High School Musical I am not a fan of horror or scary theatrics, so I was a little nervous about going to see Sweeney Todd, even if it was just a high school musical. I was quite impressed overall with the musical. The young actors and actresses did very well performing the story of Sweeney Todd. The story of Sweeney Todd was actually quite interesting. I was shocked that an elderly woman would even think to serve humans in pie form, but I guess she had to do what she felt necessary to keep her business open. The musical was not as scary as I initially thought it would be. The original musical’s music and lyrics were written by Stephen Sondheim. One of the main characters Sweeney Todd was played by Octavio de la Pena. He played his character very well. Throughout the musical Octavio never went out of character and he portrayed the different emotions well. He even used an English accent to go with the setting of the musical. The young man had great diction and his inflection was very natural. He did not sound as though he was acting, but that he was actually feeling each emotion. He also had great diction while singing songs that required him to sing very fast. I was able to understand every word as he sped through lyrics in the songs. I was surprised by one scene when Sweeney Todd actually showed some sort of compassion and allowed an unsuspecting victim to live. Sweeney Todd saw the man’s...

...included famous buildings such as the Pirelli Tower and other buildings around the globe. He also wrote poetry, painted, and created various designs including home furnishings and kitchen appliances such as a coffee pot. Even his personal correspondence was often illustrated with sketches of his ideas. Ponti is remembered as an artist, architect, writer, innovator, painter, poet, and academic. The unique designs he created still have relevance today, the originals being considered valuable collectors items and many of his furniture designs constantly being re-issued by various manufacturers. His legacy is one which spans over two centuries, and will certainly continue to influence artists and designers well into the future. (Gio Ponti:introduction, 2014) Visual analysis (Pirelli Tower, 2014) The Pirelli tower was the first building in Milan that was higher than the Duomo di Milano cathedral. The building was the highest landmark in Milan for many years and Ponti himself described it as a “graphic slogan” (Design Museum year). This building (Pirelli Tower) created by Ponti, was the design that brought him international fame, as it was a building design which has not been seen before. This building is seen as extremely unique due to its elegantly thin structure and large diamond shaped base. When viewed from above, the skyscraper is a dramatic six-sided diamond shape.

...Nicolas de Gonneville, Jeremy Lipszyc, Rayan Mekouar Corporate Strategy Cisco System: New millennium – new acquisition strategy? 1. What was unique in the way Cisco managed its acquisitions in the 90’s? During the 90’s, Cisco has based its growth strategy mainly on acquisitions. From the first acquisition of the company called “Crescendo” in 1993, Cisco has bought more than 45 firms until 1999. Cisco can be considered as unique in its way of managing its acquisition deals because of the methodology that they have created and the kind of expertise that they have developed. The Cisco’s acquisition framework focuses on 2 main steps: targeting and integration. § Targeting: In order to enter in niches markets, to acquire a technology, to add a product to its range or to reinforce a specific process, Cisco’s strategy was based on the purchase of smaller and innovative companies. The selection process includes 6 main criteria: -‐ size; focus mainly on small companies, -‐ growth; fast growing companies, -‐ strategy; Cisco is looking for focused companies with a strong expertise, -‐ entrepreneurial spirit, -‐ similarity in culture, -‐ and geographical proximity especially for the largest targets. Cisco is looking for good fit, complementarity of visions, quick wins for shareholders and long terms wins for all stakeholders. § Integration According to Cisco’s management, post-acquisition integration...

Weather, road conditions, intensive use of vehicles: tires that travel 100,000 km in Europe do not exceed 35 000 km in Africa. But Pirelli has solid experience in areas comparable to those of Africa: South America, Turkey. Our truck tires, for example, are enhanced compared to that Pirelli sells in Europe to better respond to high temperatures and loads. ".The African market and in our subject the Egyptian market is different from what we know in western countries. The marketing approach is different and strategies are not the same.

...P1 For this assignment I am going to write about the employment trends, progression routes on three different career choices. I am also going to write about why these choices would sustain a long term career for me. The three career choices that I have chosen are Accounting, Marketing and Human Resources (HR). Accounting My first career choice that I am going to write about is accounting. The employment trends for accounting according to one of the world’s leading recruitment agency, the demand for an accountant has been increasing each year. In London the number of jobs for an accountant has increased by 8% and in the Midlands 7%. They have used the data that they sourced from the ‘job index provides real evidence of the expansion of accountancy and finance market.’ (Robert Walter). On the prospect4u website they have a table that shows the progression routes for an accounting career. It starts at either a ‘trainee accountant or an accountant/payroll apprentice’ they then progress to an accountant, then to an accountants manager and finally a financial controller (prospect4u). I think that this would sustain a long term career for me as my strengths are in Maths and Ict. Whereas some people would argue that Excel and numbers are long and tedious I think that they are nice to work with and I already have experience with working in Microsoft office Excel. ‘The average salary for an ACCA trainee is currently around £19,300 per annum, while an ACCA part-qualified can expect...

Public Policy journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jaccpubpol On the global acceptance of IAS/IFRS accounting standards: The logic and implications of the principles-based system q Salvador Carmona *, Marco Trombetta IE Business School, Calle Pinar, 15-1B, 28006 Madrid, Spain a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The widespread acceptance of International Accounting Standards (IAS)/International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) makes it timely to examine their technical determinants as well as their implications for the accounting profession and the process of accounting harmonization. In this respect, we suggest that the principles-based approach to the standards and its inner flexibility enables the application of IAS/IFRS to countries with diverse accounting traditions and varying institutional conditions. Furthermore, the principles-based approach involves major changes in the expertise held by accountants and, hence, in their educational background, training programs, and in the organizational and business models of accounting firms. Finally, we submit that the standards set by the IAS/IFRS constitute a step forward in the process of accounting harmonization, although there is still far to go in the comparability of accounting measures across countries and regions.

...Michelin II – The treatment of rebates* Massimo Motta 1 European University Institute, Florence, and Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona 27 November 2006 Forthcoming in a book on EU competition case studies, edited by Bruce Lyons (Cambridge U.P.). The author has not been involved in this case, and his information about the case was only and exclusively drawn from public sources, such as the Commission Decision and the Court of First Instance’s Judgment. I am very grateful to Chiara Fumagalli and Liliane Karlinger for their comments on a previous draft. 1 * 1 1. Introduction In 2001, the European Commission found that the French firm Michelin had – via its various types of rebates - abused its dominant position in the French markets for new replacement tyres and retreaded tyres for heavy vehicles, and imposed a fine of EUR 19.76 million to Michelin. 2 Two years later, the Court of First Instance upheld the Commission’s Decision in its entirety. 3 In many respects, this case is exemplary of the strict formalistic approach followed in abuse of dominance cases by the European Commission and the Community Courts, which severely limit the possibility of dominant firms to resort to certain business practices, such as exclusive dealing, rebates, tying. Indeed, the EU case law has so far disregarded the actual effects of the allegedly abusive practices (the Commission does not need to prove that exclusionary effects have indeed taken place, nor does it need to show that...

...Cisco systems were founded in December 1984 in California, by a husband and wife team from Stanford University, Leonard Bosack and Sandra Lerner. At Stanford, Bosack found a way to connect the two local area networks where he and his wife worked, 500 yards across campus. ! They initially tried to sell the inter networking technology that Bosack had developed to computer companies, but none were interested. With no buyers they decided top start their own company, Cisco Systems. ! Cisco’s primary product from the beginning was the inter networking router; a hardware device incorporating software that automatically selects the most effective route for data to flow between networks. Cisco thus became the first company to provide a multi-protocol router when it shipped its first product in 1986. One year later after initial start, Cisco was selling $250,000 worth of routers per month. Sales for the fiscal year ending July 1987 were 1.5 million, and the company had only eight employees at the time. ! In the beginning, Cisco marketed its routers to universities, research centers, the aerospace industry, and government facilities by contacting computer scientists and engineers via ARPANET. In 1988 the company began to target its internetworking routers to mainstream corporations with offices in multiple locations that used different networks. ! Cisco had a high rate of sales growth in the early years, however they were increasing in need of cash if they were going to continue...

...Motorbike Motorbike Ducati Multistrada 1200 The only bike you ever need to own Words by Govind It was Marcel Bode, the GM at Ducati Dubai, who introduced us to the Multistrada (MTS). We could have forever remained ignorant of this gem of a machine if not for his insistence to try it out. This might be the only bike you ever need to own. To make a comparison, the MTS is like a 12400mm f/2.8 SLR lens. And that’s a lens that doesn’t exist. The MTS is a safe bet if you are looking to get back on two wheels. It is multitalented, adequately powerful, seats two very comfortably and rewards the novice as well as experienced riders well with its ability to please beyond boundaries. The name itself means the bike is meant to be ridden over multiple types of roads. In fact, Ducati has engineered the MTS to be 4 bikes in 1. And boy, disappoint it does not! A gadget geek will be head-overheels with the MTS. The key fob can be forgotten in your jeans pocket. Keyless really is the way to go. Slide a switch downwards near the throttle to release the handle lock, flick it back up to reveal the starter button, and the very clear and informative main and sub LCD display lights up colorfully with a system check. The top end model we tried had all juicy acronyms standard with it. The most interesting ones being the Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) developed with Ohlins, Bosch Brembo ABS and Ducati Traction Control (DTC).

She tells Todd that Lucy poisoned herself after being raped by Turpin, and that Johanna, now a young woman, is Turpin's ward. Johanna and a young honorable sailor named Anthony Hope, who Todd met, sailing into London, have fallen in love with each other from afar. Much like his feelings for Lucy, Turpin lusts after Johanna and wants to marry her, and thus he will do whatever he needs to get Anthony out of the way. Back at the barber shop, Todd changes his plans for revenge solely on Turpin and Beadle out of circumstance, which includes an encounter with a rival barber named Adolfo Pirelli and a close encounter with Turpin himself. Including Turpin and Beadle, Todd's revenge is now directed at all mankind that has wronged him.
