...tells us about how he always has been pleased with the airport and its security, at least until recently. He says that after 9/11 the airport security has entered another dimension - you have to open your laptop, take off your shoes, empty your pockets, loosen your belt and shed your jacket, and spread your arms and legs and prepare to be violated with that beeping wand pushed into awkward places. He says that just when you think all of this is enough, you have to think again, because you have to smile through the whole ordeal. Because if you do not, if you dare to complain, they really come down on you. He ends by saying that he feels sorry for 6-year-olds who fly today. 2) These three texts are all about airport security. In text 1 Shashi Tharoor comes with his opinion on how the airport security has gone too far in some areas. He says: “I do not mind strangers (even wearing latex gloves) sifting through my possessions. But must the most intimate items be held up to dubious inspection, accompanied by loud calls to supervisors?” and “Like that American businesswoman quizzed about her vibrator, colleagues looking and sniggering”. In text 2 Blake Morrison tells us: “Thousands of airport mechanics, caterers and ramp workers still have access to airplanes and runways without going through metal detectors or undergoing regular searches”, and he also says: “The easy access creates a huge, gaping hole just waiting to be exploited” In text 3 Elisa Ben-Rafael comes with her opinion...

...2010. To a room full of media and interested stakeholders, he explained the company’s upcoming six month plan. Al Ain Diary was UAE’s largest dairy company by market share but now wanted to replicate their success in dairy in both the regional market and the fruit juice market. There were challenges: increasing production capabilities; product innovation (increasing shelf life); the supply chain management (dairy especially needs to be transported at a 48C condition and there is a need for access to a steady supply of fodder); and brand building in newer markets. Shashi needs to prioritise what new products they want to move into (options include related lines like cheese); assets they need to acquire (manufacturing); and what future skills they need to develop to meet the regional challenge. There is a three to four year time frame to prioritise these objectives as the markets are still in recession. Shashi says about their vision for the future: S We are very much a local company and would like to be seen as regional at least in the Khaleej [GCC Countries], if not beyond . . . With the introduction of long-life juice, the whole world is a market for us because these products have a shelf life of nine months and unlike fresh products we don’t have limitations on time. Al Ain Dairy: a Government of UAE initiative Catering to local demand This case was written by Dr Melodena Stephens Balakrishnan at University of Wollongong in Dubai. It was prepared...

...Thuy Truong – 02390838 Professor Doyle ARTH 103 November 17, 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy One day when I was wandering around Bowers Museum, I came across nine oversized paintings shown in an exhibition made entirely by one extraordinary 69-year-old Buddhist monk in Nepal named Shashi Dhoj Tulachan, a second generation thangka artist living. The practice of thangka art has been around for centuries and is carried out by highly trained monks for the purpose of teaching about Buddha and the tenets of the Buddhist religion. The paintings attracted me because they were so big and colourful that I had to spend quite some time to fully absorb the beauty of the art. They are not thangka paintings in the traditional sense. Thangkas are usually much smaller and are rolled on canvas so that they can be easily transported and hung anywhere for teaching. All of the thangkas I saw were enormous, comparing to a regularly sized painting. They cover three-fourths the height of the wall and are four or five times wider than a normal human. These paintings also deviate from the rules of thangka art in the use of colours, shape, proportion, characteristics and qualities. The traditional thangka paintings are strictly regulated, while the thangkas shown in Bowers Museum are more free-flowing, giving the artist more room for creativity. Although all nine thangkas share the same size and characteristics, Virupaksa (Dharma King of the West Direction) with 16 attendants painting caught my eyes...

...THE TEBHAGA MOVEMENT The Tebhaga movement was a campaign by the Krishak Sabha in 1946. The leader of this movement was Ila mitra. Tebhaga means three shares of harvests. In those times, share croppers and landowners used to get fifty-fifty of the produce. This system was known as barga, adhi, bhagi , etc. In 1946 Aman harvest, share croppers from north and north eastern Bengal went to field to cut down the crops and thrashed them at their own khalan. The movement became such a massive issue that it spread into Dinajpur, Rangpur, Jalpaiguri, Khulna, Mymensingh, Jessore and the 24 parganas. Firstly, the share croppers demanded that the fifty-fifty sharing system was unjust. The share croppers used to put all their investment and hard work, whereas the landowners had very little contribution in the production process. Secondly, the share croppers had to stack their harvest in the owner’s khalan. They argued that, the harvest would not be stacked in the owner’s khalan and the landlords would not get any share from the by-products. As the revolt spread throughout Bengal, landowners called in the police. The police arrested many Tebhaga activists. But this did not stop the movement. The resisting Tenants added a new slogan to their agenda, the total abolition of Zamindari System. The Tebhaga movement was a successful movement in the history of the sub-continent. More Than 40% sharecroppers got their right. The movement also led to the abolition...

...Ruskin Bond was born on 19 May 1934 in a military hospital in Kasauli, to Edith Clerke and Aubrey Bond. His siblings were Ellen and William. Ruskin's father was with the Royal Air Force. When Bond was four years old, his mother separated from his father and married a Punjabi-Hindu, Mr. Hari, who himself had been married once. Bond spent his early childhood in Jamnagar and Shimla. At the age of ten Ruskin went to live at his grandmother's house in Dehradun after his father's sudden death in 1944 from malaria. Ruskin was raised by his mother. He completed his schooling at Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, from where he graduated in 1952 after winning several writing competitions in the school like the Irwin Divinity Prize and the Hailey Literature Prize. Following his high school education he went to his aunt's house in England and stayed there for four years. In London he started writing his first novel, The Room on the Roof, the semi-autobiographical story of the orphaned Anglo-Indian boy Rusty. It won the 1957 John Llewellyn Rhys prize, awarded to a British Commonwealth writer under 30. Bond used the advance money from the book to pay the sea passage to Bombay. He worked for some years as a journalist in Delhi and Dehradun.

...Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his nationwide cleanliness campaign, the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' or 'Clean India Campaign' from the Valmiki Basti in New Delhi on Thursday. Addressing the nation at the launch, Modi asked India's 1.25 billion people to join the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' and promote it to everyone. After paying tribute at the memorials of Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversaries, Modi himself swept a pavement at Valmiki Basti, a colony of sanitation workers before the formal launch of the 'Clean India' drive at Rajpath. While launching the mission at Mandir Marg, he also made a surprise visit at the local police station to check on its cleanliness. Modi said, "Today is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhiji and Lal Bahadur Shastriji. We have gained freedom under leadership of Gandhiji, but his dream of clean India is still unfulfilled." He added, "Swachh Bharat Campaign logo is not just a logo, through it Gandhiji is watching us and we all should clean India. I am not claiming that the newly elected government is doing everything. Be it temples, mosques, gurudwaras or any place, we must take efforts to clean our surroundings. Cleanliness is not only the responsibility of the 'safaai kaamgar', it is the responsibility of 125 crore Indians. If Indians can reach Mars at a cheap cost, can we not clean our neighbourhoods?" Giving credit to previous governments, Modi said, "I do not make any claim that...

...worldLogos of the 100 Largest Companies in the World by Jeremia in UNCATEGORIZED * * * * The largest 100 companies in the world possess some of the most recognizable and distinctive logos around. These companies have built some of the foundations around which we live our lives: retail, automotive, financial services, telecommunications and energy, the staples of our daily lives. They employ millions of people around the globe and are used by millions every day. Whether we consciously acknowledge it or not, they continually build their brand through their advertisements and campaigns and reinforce the power of their logo on us as consumers. Gathered here are the logos of the top 100 largest companies and corporations in the world (using Fortune Magazine’s annual 500 ranking as a guideline). From the plain and simple logos like Berkshire Hathaway, Panasonic, and Sony, to the more colorful and playful logos of ArcelorMittal and Suez, they represent billions of dollars in annual revenues. You will notice the dominant use of reds, blues and oranges throughout their designs, aimed at reinforcing trust, excitement and energy in the minds of consumers. Since many of these companies are huge conglomerates with many subsidiaries in different industries, you may also notice that many have a more generic or broad appeal and are somewhat ambiguous in their nature. When dealing with multiple products that you wish to brand under one name, it allows flexibility and freedom...

...places. If you do not do this with a smile on your face or if you complain, expect the worst. Today, the increase of airport security has resulted in a larger number of secondary screenings as well as a screening of a more diverse selection of travellers in order to apprehend terrorist. In one instance, a mother, who was feeding her baby breast milk in a bottle, had to drink it to prove it was not a lethal toxin. Even a handicapped boy who needed to fly with an oxygen tank had to justify to security that it was not a deadly poison gas he was breathing. 2. In the text, Spread Your Legs and Smile, the attitude toward U.S airport security is very negative. Many believe airport security has become too extreme. The author of this article, Shashi Tharoor, feels that security has gone from pleasant experience to an embarrassing nightmare involving the exposure of intimate items. Tharoor raises the question: could the proliferated pilferage among the frequent-flier circuit be linked to the regulation of no locked suitcases? On the other hand, in the text, Fear of Flying: An Israeli Look at U.S Air Safety, the attitude toward the increase in U.S airport security is more positive. The article’s author, Elisa Ben-Rafael, thinks the U.S airport security is lacking in comparison to the European and the Israelis’ security. She bases her opinion what she observed at the New York’s Kennedy...

It was perfect and heart-warming. Now after 15 years dairy milk offers a product which is almost half in quantity of the product back then. This generated a curiosity in us and we started to find answers based on the microeconomic perspective. We zeroed on this and found that the most crucial factor in the production of chocolate is cocoa. In this report we have analysed the demand and supply of cocoa and how it affects the price of chocolate. Our research findings and data are collected from various national and international reports. About Cocoa and the Cocoa Products industry: Cocoa is a critical cash crop that is produced in a few specific regions of the world. Specific climatic conditions...
