...Shara Lim Dec. 7, 2013 Retail Management The SoFA retail lab located at the 4th floor Archaeology in Powerplant mall carries brands such as: 1.) Code Limited 9.) The Daily Shirting Company 2.) Runway Dreams 10.) Charm Essentials 3.) Surco 11.) Flutter 4.) Cocotini 12.) Soffia 5.) Bianca Cordero 13.) Neon Island 6.) Soak Swimwear 14.) Abby Jocson 7.) Runway Mafia 15.) Jean and Rosz 8.) Sesa 16.) Kameleonz The brands that were located on the older part of the retail lab had a smaller floor area as compared to the brands located at the expansion. The products also seemed to be a bit crammed since maybe there was a lot more merchandise on display. Personally, I think that the retail lab was a bit disorganized because it was located on the right and left side of Archaeology. This got me confused as to which brands was part of the showcase since the sign board featuring the brands was located on a rather unnoticeable place on the floor near the wall. Majority of the brands sold clothes for women ranging from dresses to swimwear, followed by make-up and make-up brushes, and also a number of bags, necklaces, bracelets and sunglasses. Based on the items on display, I would say that the target market of the majority would be 20-25 year old females in socio economic class B, which matches the target market of Powerplant. As for the image of the brands included in the retail lab, I think it...

...4. Outline the arguments for and against the policy of multiculturalism. What are the advantages and disadvantages of officially promoting multiculturalism? 4. Outline the arguments for and against the policy of multiculturalism. What are the advantages and disadvantages of officially promoting multiculturalism? Background Multiculturalism in Canada is the ideology that all people have equal opportunities and rights regardless of their races, religions and, cultural backgrounds. The Canadian government during the 1970s and 1980s adopted the official policy of multiculturalism in Canada. It originated from the 1960s Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. In 1971, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau declared that the country would adopt multicultural policy. In 1982, multiculturalism was recognized by section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canadian Multiculturalism Act was then passed by Prime Minister Brain Mulroney in 1988. The Act has two fundamental principles: all citizens have equal rights and it promotes all communities of different origins. (Kobayashi, 1983) Benefits of Multiculturalism policy in Canada Economic Benefits Multiculturalism helps integrate visible minorities into the labour market. Canada has experienced more participation of members of minority groups in different business sectors, such as transportation, communications, and banking. The increased participation is the result of the government's effort...

...El ocaso de los tréboles | | | | Antonio García Sansigre aconseja a los ejecutivos mantener una actitud permanente de fortaleza ante la debilidad y no como algo fruto de una circunstancia que el tiempo ayude a difuminar. El gurú sueco de los negocios Alexander Bard dice que las grandes marcas son una combinación de visibilidad y credibilidad. De nada sirve tener una si no tienes la otra. Exitosas son aquellas que combinan ambas. El mundo de la gestión empresarial no es ajeno a esta ley y la nueva generación de hombres del management disfruta de una posición que sus predecesores no tuvieron. El consumo masivo de libros de fácil digestión ha abierto esta puerta. Muchos exponentes de la nueva generación del management lo están aprovechando bien y han sabido sacar el máximo partido de la visibilidad y el prestigio. Los actuales autores de cuentos o “cuentistas” van a verse estrangulados por su propia soga: por un lado, deben seguir siendo best-sellers, y cuanto más best-seller se es, más ramplón y superficial se convierte su pensamiento. Ese círculo vicioso atenaza la consideración personal del autor. Por ello, la nueva generación de autores de management, por naturaleza inclinada al libro sencillo que entra tan rápido como sale, tendrá que publicar libros más sesudos. En el fondo subyace una realidad: “Quiero ser como José Antonio Marina”. El...

...Los Altos High School has tried various tactics to reduce stress in students. One thing they have not tried, however, is to feed the students chocolate. Although critics argue that chocolate is too high in sugar and fat content to actually be healthy in the amounts that we eat it, and any perceived changes in mood or stress level are fleeting, the notion that chocolate has positive effects on physical and mental health might not be too good to be true. Shara Aaron makes the case for the physical and mental health benefits of chocolate in the book Chocolate; A Healthy Passion. To begin with, chocolate has a long history dating back to the Aztecs who used it for its medicinal properties. They served it as a drink to the royalty, in ceremonies, as sacrifices to the gods, and as currency. From central america, chocolate spread to europe and the rest of the world. Since at the time, chocolate was extremely bitter and did not taste very good, it spread because of observed medical benefits. Centuries later in the 1990s,...

...Responsible Gun Owners are losing their Rights Ryan T. Kennedy COM/172 November 20, 2013 Oleah Morris Responsible Gun Owners are losing their Rights The gun violence of today in many opinions, is worse than what it was in the “Wild West.” A major contributor, is the actions and crimes of criminals with illegally obtained firearms. Crimes committed with illegally obtained firearms such as robberies, gang shootings, and even murder. The firearm subject has been at the top of several political debates in recent times. This is mostly because of several school tragedies involving innocent children, which have taken place over the last two and a half decades. Some individuals believe that more crime will be prevented, if more law-abiding citizens were armed. Others believe that stronger gun laws are needed. The thesis is, Americans are losing their Second Amendment rights because of criminals with illegally obtained firearms. Has the nation forgotten about the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, or does this country only care about the first and fifth amendments? The general census is anti-gun activists and the U.S. Government need to put the blame where it belongs, and stop punishing law-abiding citizens. The History of Firearms and the Crimes Committed Many believe it was Leonardo DiVinci who invented the firearm. The fact is, “the first firearm in the world was invented in 13th century China when the man made portable fire lance (a bamboo or metal tube that...

...Joseph Masiello Mr. Gianfrancesco Honors English AP/EEP 9 February 2016 Lifesaving Relief Groups Natural disasters are unpredictable threats of nature, wreaking havoc upon nations worldwide. Some, though not as strong as others can create immense amounts of damage to cities and property. Hurricanes, tornadoes, landslides, earthquakes, or even tsunamis have the potential to tear through anything in the path of destruction. These terrors of nature can happen anywhere, but where they may occur the damages could be a lot harder to recover from. Third world countries suffer tremendous casualties and destruction, without the money or even first aid to help those in need. A prime example of disaster in a third world country would be the, large magnitude earthquake in Haiti where unstable buildings and unawareness took the lives of copious people. After the quakes many suffered from injury and needed medical attention, however the nation could not supply these medical needs. However, there are organizations such as the American Red Cross and Project cure that provide the much needed supplies that are critical to help save lives. Supplying a wide variety of life saving essentials, these disaster relief specialists, receive most supplies form fundraising events. Gathering supplies needed from simple donations such as Band-Aids and Neosporin can go a long way to help these nations while recovering from such destruction. With disaster relief teams such as the American Red Cross, and...

Introduction Pakistan was one of the two original successor states to British India, which was partitioned along religious lines in 1947. For almost 25 years following independence, it consisted of two separate regions, East and West Pakistan, but now is made up only of the western sector. Both India and Pakistan have laid claim to the Kashmir region, and this territorial dispute led to war in 1949, and again in 1965, 1971, and 1999, and remains unresolved today. Pakistan is situated in the western part of the Indian subcontinent, with Afghanistan and Iran on the west, India on the east, and the Arabian Sea on the south.
