There have been many changes, additions, and improvements during this time. Adventurer Ministry has shown huge growth as well. Youngsters in this age group are full of energy and get excited about being a part of an organization that is designed to expand their view of their world and strengthen their relationship with God, Mom, and Dad through ways that are so much fun. The roof over Adventurer Ministry is supported by several strong pillars. You hold in your hands one of them: the latest updated manual covering all 83 currently accepted Awards for use around the world. There is of course, one small problem: This area of Adventurer fun is not a static field of possibilities, it is a constantly growing—maybe almost exploding—source of activity. Therefore even at the time of this edition’s printing, there are already more Awards being...

...and rely on the beliefs that got them to the point they are at. In 1962, Sam Walton opened the first Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart was at one time included in Fortune’s list of the “10 most admired corporations.” The Wal-Mart Philosophy-Wal-Mart is successful not only because it makes sound strategic management decisions, but also for its innovative implementation of those strategic decisions. Many trace discount entrepreneur birth to1962, the first year of operation for Kmart, Target and Wal-Mart. But by that time, Sam Walton's tiny chain of variety stores in Arkansas and Kansas was already facing competition from regional discount chains. Sam traveled the country to study this radical, new retailing concept and was convinced it was the wave of the future. He and his wife, Helen, put up 95 percent of the money for the first Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas, borrowing heavily on Sam's vision that the American consumer was shifting to a different type of general store. Wal-Mart is a national discount retailer offering a wide variety of general merchandise to customers. Wal-Mart stores offer pleasant and convenient shopping in 36 departments including family apparel, health and beauty aids,...

...Students come to school with a variety of experiences determined by their culture, pattern of socialisation, abilities and previous education. It is believe that all children have their own abilities and strength and they learned at different pace. Remedial classes cater for students of mixed abilities where the educator addresses to the weakness of her learner. It does not mean classes for students who underachieve only but it is also classes that are being carried out when students have not understood a topic properly or for students who were absent. This extra support can help them catch up to their peers. The ultimate aim of remedial teaching is to help pupils who have fallen behind to learn to the best of their ability and to bring them back into the mainstream classes as far as...

...realise how much we can regain from what we have lost of our culture by studying these objects.’ The Honourable Charles Williams, Carib Chief of the Carib Territory, Commonwealth of Dominica, on a visit to the Cuming Museum, October 6 2004. He is holding a ceremonial baton or club, used by chiefs as a badge of office on ceremonial occasions. From the Schomburgk collection. Introduction The Caribbean has always seen people on the move - from the settlement of people from the South American mainland thousands of years ago, the forced settlement of enslaved people from Africa, to the 'Island hopping' and immigration abroad in search of work in the 20th century. Within the Untold Origins exhibition we explored what happens when people and cultures move and come into contact with each other. What do people preserve from their original culture to maintain their sense of identity? How does contact with a new culture change how they view themselves? The histories and stories of the people who populated the Caribbean prior to the arrival of Europeans 500 years ago seemed hidden. Until recently the received history of the Caribbean as taught in schools repeated the inaccurate story of Carib cannibals eating their way up the island chain, terrorising the more civilised Arawak communities. The indigenous people had been represented as being exterminated, with tiny populations of survivors on a few islands. The...

...Introduction It is never an easy task to establish a company as a globally recognized brand without proper positioning and segmentation of the market. Market segmentation is to divide the broad market into a smaller group according to different criterions and the target market is the group of customers a company wants to serve. “Market segmentation does matter as it helps to craft messages for a definite audience” (Diamandies & Kotler, 2015). For this paper, I have selected McDonalds for discussion. As a company McDonalds has a great reputation as Pfeffer (2006) suggested, “even if the world ends, McDonald’s would still be open”. This paper provides an adequate discussion regarding the market segmentation and positioning strategy followed by McDonalds. McDonalds has segmented its market according to demographic, psychographic, geographic, and behavioral characteristics. They also have segmentation among students, kids, and family. Their positioning strategy has given them an extra edge to become one of the largest chains around the world. Company Overview McDonald's Corporation has been the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants. It serves approximately 68 million customers in 119 countries in 35,000 outlets around the world. Richard and Maurice McDonald founded McDonald’s in 1940. In 1960, the advertising campaign named "Look for the Golden Arches" gave the company a great sales boost. In 1954, Ray Kroc joined and suggested to franchise the restaurants...

...ENC 1102 Research Paper May 1st, 2013 Unreasonable Discrimination Racial discrimination is an issue that has persisted through many centuries and across geographical boundaries. Members of the black race have been strongly affected by racial discrimination since colonial times when white conquerors brought blacks from Africa as slaves to carry out hard labor jobs. Meanwhile, conquerors treated African slaves as inferior and usually worse than an animal. Society has evolved since and through a lot of work and effort, in the United States and most countries in the world slavery has been abolished and there is a constitutional equality among citizens regardless of their race or background. However, in reality our society even today experiences different degrees of racial discrimination. In spite of this, African Americans have fought against racial discrimination sometimes resorting to physical means, but most importantly utilizing intellectual means. African Americans through centuries have written poems, stories, plays and motivational speeches that express their pride in overcoming hardships in a way that could never be silenced. This way, African Americans have shown over the years that they are not an “inferior” race as it was considered in colonial times. The Homo sapiens species is so diverse that it is difficult to draw clear lines between humans based on their race or the color of their skin. However, even today societies attempt to classify people...

...CHAPTER 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction The term curriculum refers to the programme of study in various academic subjects followed by students at various levels of education. The school or college’s teaching staff are employed to teach this curriculum, and students are periodically assessed in their progress in each curriculum subject. As they grow older, students’ achievements in their curriculum subjects are seen as important in helping them get into a good university or college, and to find a good job when they leave education. The academic curriculum has never been all that schools and colleges offer to their students. Often a range of other classes, clubs and activities is available to students, sometimes in lessons but more often in the lunch break or after school. These are referred to as the co-curriculum, or as extra-curricular activities, and they are mostly voluntary for students. Examples would include sports, musical activities, debate, Model United Nations, community service, religious study groups, charitable fundraising, Young Enterprise projects, military cadet activities, drama, science clubs, and hobbies such as gardening, crafts, cookery and dance. Because they are not examined in the same way that the academic curriculum is, and because most of them take place outside lessons, such activities have less status in education than the main curriculum. However, they are often held to be very important to the wider education of young men and...

...representing $354.2B in sales. Of this market, approximately 60% of sales come from alcoholic beverages, with beer making up 49% of this and the remainder going to liquor (37%), and wine (15%). Despite the strong market share for beer in the U.S., sales are sliding. Since 1999, the market share for beer has decreased from 56% to below 50%. Wine sales have been flat, so consumers are beginning to switch from drinking beer to drinking liquor. There appears to be a general shift in preference among consumers to prefer other types of alcoholic beverages to beer. In addition to losing sales to a different beverage option, Budweiser is losing market share in the U.S. beer market. At its peak in 1988, Budweiser sold 50 million barrels. In 2013, consumption was down to 16 million barrels and market share had decreased from 14.4% to 7.6% in ten years. Part of this is due to cannibalization of sales from other Budweiser products, such as Bud Light. This shows a macro change in consumer preferences, favoring options with fewer calories to help combat weight-gain. Another big reason for the decrease in sales is due to consumers switching to the craft beer market. In 2015 sales for craft breweries were estimated at 24.5 million barrels (a 13% increase since 2014) and dollar-sales were just over $22 billion (a 16% increase from 2014). These sales have given the craft brewery industry a 21% share of the beer market. This increase in sales is not coming from a single competitor. There are...

Assuch, teams can no longer rely on mobilizing fan support and sponsorship capital intheir home market alone. In the same way corporations are guided by a compelling andoriginal idea that forms the basis for their brand strategy, so too must sporting teams.The purpose of this paper is to draw parallels between “conventional” brands like Appleand Disney, and to articulate what sporting teams can learn from those companies inthe management of their own brands. Brand Strategy For Sporting Teams By any definition, sporting teams today are big businesses. Harvard Professor StephenGreyser has observed that in recent times we have seen teams migrate from the sportspages to the business pages and, now sometimes, to the front page (Comeau, 2005).Like other large corporations, teams employ great numbers of people, generate profitsand losses, all the while seeking to achieve success against certain performancemetrics. And like other businesses, they have to perform well, remain financially viableand satisfy several stakeholders who have a financial interest in...
