...Properly promoting and positioning a brand takes extensive market research analysis and recognition of who the brands target market is. From there, an advertisement can be created that the target market will be drawn to. A successful advertisement has the capability to create a want or need for the product within the consumer. Successful advertising can propel a brand or company to success, or it can create the collapse and disintegration of its image. The advertisement must stay true to the brand’s image while simultaneously be interesting enough to draw in new potential consumers. Through the analysis of a Louis Vuitton and an Etienne Aigner advertisement from ELLE Magazine, it is simple to pinpoint the success of the Louis Vuitton advertisement and the pitfalls of the Etienne Aigner advert. The Louis Vuitton advertisement depicts Michelle Williams, an accredited actress and style icon, with an iconic Louis Vuitton monogram print bag casually slung over her shoulder. It is simple, and tasteful. The image is not extremely exciting but the subdued, cool coloring of Michelle Williams is striking in comparison to the warm camel tones of the bag, creating an arresting image. It is clear in this advertisement that the product that is trying to be sold is the bag. In comparison the Etienne Aigner advertisement is less straightforward in what it is trying to sell. The ad contains a brown fur and leather boot positioned horizontally at the top of the page and a table with a few...

...ENDICOTT COLLEGE School of Business and Technology THE GOLF INDUSTRY: A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS With: Tom Fazio, The National Golf Foundation and Pulte Homes CASE STUDY This case was prepared by students Lauren Fournier, Jacob Kidder, Nemanja Marinkovic and Courtney Holloway with Assistant Professor Margaret Sherrerd Ake. THE GOLF INDUSTRY - A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS With: Fazio Golf Designers, the National Golf Foundation, and Pulte Homes INTRODUCTION In January 2007, on a red eye from Phoenix, Arizona back to his main office in Jupiter, Florida, Tom Fazio, a world-renowned golf course architect, reviewed research prepared by the National Golf Foundation (NGF) on the status of the golf industry at the end of 2006. The NGF research reported that in 2006, for the first time since the end of World War II, the number of golf courses that had closed exceeded the number of courses that were opened. The news was not encouraging. Many in the industry had begun to contemplate the factors that contributed to this news. Had the supply of golf courses become too great in comparison to relatively flat demand? Or, were there other more lucrative uses for the properties on which golf courses were traditionally located? Had environmental, land, or other resource constraints hindered new course development? More importantly, how would the industry behave in the years to come? And, what...

...Arabidopsis, tryptophan, YUCCA, TAA1, flavin monooxygenase Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the main auxin in higher plants, has profound effects on plant growth and development. Both plants and some plant pathogens can produce IAA to modulate plant growth. Although the genes and biochemical reactions for auxin biosynthesis in some plant pathogens are well understood, elucidation of the mechanisms by which plants produce auxin has proven to be difficult. So far, no single complete pathway of de novo auxin biosynthesis in plants has been firmly established. However, recent studies have led to the discoveries of several genes in tryptophan-dependent auxin biosynthesis pathways. Recent findings have also determined that local auxin biosynthesis plays essential roles in many developmental processes including gametogenesis, embryogenesis, seedling growth, vascular patterning, and flower development. In this review, I summarize the recent advances in dissecting auxin biosynthetic pathways and how the...

It is intended to provide students learning experiences and the application of knowledge and skills in hospitality industry settings. The practicum is a co-operative education which aims to achieve an effective blend of classroom study and off-campus work experience in hospitality-related industry. The goal of the practicum is to prepare the student for competent and responsible practice. A successful practicum is one that achieves that goal. The BSHMT program of the City College of Tagaytay considers the practicum training to be among the most important professional preparation activities in which BSHMT students participate. Practicum experiences are intended to allow students to synthesize, apply and refine knowledge and skills learned in their academic experiences. In addition, practicum experiences are one of the primary ways in which department faculty members can observe and evaluate the skills of the student. Because of the importance of students’ practicum, the Department requires the student-trainee to prepare a narrative report of his practicum experiences in hospitality industry. This report was based on the student’s training experiences at the following establishments: Taal Vista Hotel, Taj of Tagaytay and Massimos Ristorante Italiano during the second semester of year 2007-2008 in...

...Executive Summary My project is on country analysis of Israel focused on its agriculture sector. This project includes collecting information of agriculture activity of Israel, Israel’s geography, main agricultural products produced in Israel etc. but main purpose of this project is to doing a S.W.O.T Analysis of Israel’s agriculture sector to identified its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This report includes how Israel makes their agriculture sector superior in compare to world’s other countries. 1|Page 1. Overview of Israel’s Agriculture Israel’s agriculture is characterized by high technological level, pressure irrigation systems, automatic and controlled mechanization and high quality seeds and plants. Israel meets most of its food requirements through domestic production to produce over 5 million tons of field crops, 1.15 billion liters of milk, 1.6 billion eggs and 1.2 billion flowers for export (Ministry of Agriculture, 2006). The total area of arable land is 377,300 hectares with 78% under cultivation. Water scarcity is the main limiting factor in Israeli agriculture and the country depends on irrigation to increase its crop yields; about 50% of the land is irrigated. Of the 1,129 million cubic meters (MCM) of water used by agriculture per year, some 30% of agricultural water is treated wastewater (TWW) for drip irrigation of orchards and non-food crops, while another 16% is saline water. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural...

...C h a p t e r 1 Prewriting GETTING STARTED (OR SOUP-CAN LABELS CAN BE FASCINATING) For many writers, getting started is the hardest part. You may have noticed that when it is time to begin a writing assignment, you suddenly develop an enormous desire to straighten your books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time. If this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader,...

The first two, Miss Keller's story and the extracts from her letters, form a complete account of her life as far as she can give it. Much of her education she cannot explain herself, and since a knowledge of that is necessary to an understanding of what she has written, it was thought best to supplement her autobiography with the reports and letters of her teacher, Miss Anne Mansfield Sullivan.

This is one of them. In late afternoon, in the autumn of 1989, I'm at my desk, looking at a blinking cursor on the computer screen before me, and the telephone rings. On the other end of the wire is a former Iowan named Michael Johnson. He lives in Florida now. A friend from Iowa has sent him one of my books. Michael Johnson has read it; his sister, Carolyn, has read it; and they have a story in which they think I might be interested. He is circumspect, refusing to say anything about the story, except that he and Carolyn are willing to travel to Iowa to talk with me about it. That they are prepared to make such an effort intrigues me, in spite of my skepticism about such offers. So I agree to meet with them in Des Moines the following week. At a Holiday Inn near the airport, the introductions are made, awkwardness gradually declines, and the two of them sit across from me, evening coming...
