...control ensures shoe retailer never misses a step By RACHAEL BOON THE success of shoe label and fashion retailer Charles & Keith International on the global front can be attributed to its ability to have a firm grip of its operations across its vast network of stores and factories. This unwavering commitment has put the company in good stead to weather the major crises it had faced, dating back to the days when the retailer was operating out of a small store in Ang Mo Kio in 1990. Back then, co-founder and chief executive Charles Wong, 39, and his younger brother, Keith, 37, were just teenagers helping out at their mother’s shop. She wanted the older Mr Wong to close the unprofitable shoe section, but the future shoe maven was determined to turn it around. He mapped out a plan to take control of the entire shoe business operations – from stocks to design and even shoe sizing. As a result, the shoes sold well and Mr Wong managed to stave off the store’s closure. This experience honed his business acumen, which would serve him well when he decided to set up his own shoe company with his younger brother, who is the firm’s chief operating officer. From the outset, the siblings were determined to make a name for themselves by starting their own brand. In 1996, they set up shop in Amara Shopping Centre to market and sell Charles & Keith shoes at a time when it was unheard of for local shoe retailers to brand themselves. The move was prompted by ...

...organized, use procedures, and communicate clearly with students. By doing these things effectively will ensure the classroom runs smoothly and will impede behavioral problems. Once students cross the threshold of the classroom it is a place and time where one must be productive. By using good time management, students will be able to stay on task, therefore; leaving little time for behavioral issues. Building good relationships is an necessary part of maintaining order. Students who feel welcomed and important will be less likely to cause behavioral problems and will be more likely to be a productive student. These relationships will build mutual respect between the teacher and student. There are many different resources, such as Harry Wong and L & L, on classroom and behavioral management, therefore; it is important a teacher find something that they feel will be effective. Most importantly, begin implementing procedures on the first day of school because a well-managed classroom will benefit not only the teacher but the students too. ...

...CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORIES COGNITION Contributors: A Bandura, R Hawthorn, B Law, J M Kidd J Killeen, J D Krumboltz, A.S Levin, and K.E. Mitchell SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY OF CAREERS DECISION MAKING Learning Theories suggest that it is an individual's unique learning experiences over their lifespan that develops the primary influences that lead to career choice. Mitchell and Krumboltz’ Social Learning Theory of Careers Decision Making (SLTCDM 1976) identifies four categories of influencers that affected career decision making: 1. Genetic Endowment and Special Abilities e.g. IQ, gender, appearance, race, ‘natural/gifted’ talent 2. Environmental Conditions and Events e.g. economic climate, technological development, educational system 3. Learning Experiences e.g. instrumental and associative learning experiences Instrumental Learning Experiences Reinforcement theory suggests that an individual will develop preferences through encouragement or discouragement and this will be directly connected with repeat behaviour. For example, if someone is praised for an action (positive reinforcement), they are more likely to repeat or build on that experience. Equally, if someone succeeds with an activity (for example, an academic subject), then they are more likely to pursue it. Associative Learning Experiences Associative learning describes how emotions can become attached to otherwise neutral events or observations. For example, if a person becomes stuck...

...Chungking Express has a split plot with two separate love stories being told in chronological order. These stories of loss and longing overlap and connect – allowing the audiecene to draw parallels between the two. Key events, dreams and desires are seen to be almost identical. Chungking Express does not follow a linear model, but rather follows a very abstract plan, where cause and effect aren’t quite as evident as in many Hollywood movies. In fact, one could say that Chungking Express relies on what is deemed as ‘chance encounters’ by the viewers. David Bordwell defines the plot of Chungking Express as one that ‘is built out of a daunting number of minutely varied repetitions of locales and routines. As these cycles compare characters and situations, cause and effect become less important than parallels among congruent or contrasting aspects of love’. (2000: 283) The sense of a constantly reoccurring ‘déjà vu’ between people and placesemerges from the start of the film. At the beginning of Chungking Express, while Cop 223 is chasing a criminal down a crowded corridor, he passes the woman who will become his love interest in the story, the ‘Blonde Woman’, announcing in voice-over that, ‘at our closest point, we were just 0.01cm apart from each other. Fifty-five hours later, I was in love with this woman’. At the end of the first ‘love’ story, after Cop 223 has received the Blonde Woman’s paged birthday message, he enters the Midnight Express where he bumps into Faye and this...

...With its exemplary cinematography, distinctly bold colour palette and unique sound design, Wong Kar Wai’s ‘Chungking express’ (1994) possesses some of the most evocative and powerful imagery in modern cinema. One of the most dynamic shots, lasting just thirteen-seconds, 29 minutes into the story is of a mysterious woman in a blonde wig (Blondie), played by Brigitte Lin. The character is shown via a mirrors reflection as she looks up at the ceiling, speculating on human behaviour. It’s interesting to note that the subject has been shot from above. Not only does this reiterate her position of vulnerability, make us focus on the dialogue but also gives us the impression that in her state of depression she will be swallowed up by the frenetic pace and lifestyle of Hong Kong. While Blondie is narrating, the camera slowly eases into the subject, but comes to a halt before we get a clear close-up shot of her face. It’s almost as if the director has nearly allowed us to finally connect with this recluse but then terminates the intimacy. It reveals a lot about her character. She is cold, aloof and taciturn. This is the point where she exhibits some of her opinions and feelings which is why we get the zoom up. She is in her most vulnerable state of the film. The fact that she is so prominent within the frame demonstrates that this is the closest we have been to Blondie. However, the cameras movement ceases before a more detailed shot is included which is frustrating for the audience...

...Harry and Rosemary Wong have done an excellent job in their writings on “The First Days of School”. A leading issue in the American education system is the need for effective teachers. Research has shown that the number of first-year teachers entering the profession lacks the essential skills to be effective. School districts across America have gone above and beyond to draw attention to the issue. In Wong’s book, The First Days of School”, Wong addresses the necessary skills that all first-year teachers should possess. Moreover, Wong suggests some proven techniques that will assist the first year teacher in becoming effective. Wong believes there are three common characteristics of an effective teacher. Wong postulates that positive...

...1. If I was in Hamilton Wong’s position, I think I would report all of the time I spent working on the Wille & Lomas audit, even if it exceeded the budget. As an accountant, my ethical responsibility is to be honest and have integrity and I will be losing my honesty and integrity if I was not to report the actual amount of worked I did. I would first have to evaluate why it is that I am spending a large amount of time on that part of the audit; is it because I am not managing my time efficiently or because a situation arise with regards to the examination or the documents. I would then talk to my manager and let them know the reasons for which I will be going over the budget. The manager would be able to find a solution to not go too much over budget or he or she will be able to talk to the client about the situation. The second reason why I would report all of the time I spend working on the audit will be because if an inquiry was to arise, I would be able to demonstrate all the worked I did on the engagement. Documentation and paper trail is a big part of the audit, therefore it will be very important to keep proper tacking of who worked on what and how much time was spend working on the engagement. I believe that Hutchinson did behave unethically by underreporting her hours worked on the engagement so severely. Although she has made the situation better for herself by looking like the all star of the team and trying to get promotion, she has only hurt the team for future...

...Tyrus Wong Tyrus Wong is the one of unknown and unappreciated Chinese-American artist of the 20th century. He was known as a Hollywood studio artist, painter, printmaker, calligrapher, greeting-card illustrator and maker of fantastical kites. Wong left China at the age of 10 with his father and would never see his mother again. Once he arrived in America he lived in extreme poverty, but because of his character and a help of his father Tyrus Wong found himself in art. Eventually after years of poverty, discrimination and “chronic lack of recognition” he ended up working for Disney and Warner Brothers. Especially Wong became more known in certain circles after creating a film “Bambi”, where he was involved in every phase of production because aunting visual style, vastly different from anything Disney, as he was inspired by the paintings of the Song dynasty. However, as Asians were a novelty in animation industry in America a lot of co-workers could’ve easily flung a racial statement or epithet. Society didn’t care if person is talented or have a huge impact on something. Only...

...Writing and Literary Critique of Asian/Pacific American Literature Throughout the history of the United States media, there are common stereotypes of females in films that are presented in the short story by Fong, Charlie Chan’ No More. I believe that the roles of Asian Americans are limited in films, such as gender and sexuality, by stereotyping females. Asian Americans are being portrayed as negative images through various media, from books, films, plays, and even television. “The audience would realize that media views Asians and Asian Americans as others that include exoticized women, asexual men, a yellow peril threat to the United States” (Ono & Pham, 2009). Throughout this essay, I am referencing the article by Fong, Charlie Chan’ No More, and Moon, a poem by Marilyn Chin, where they both talk about sexuality and gender. “Asian women, have often been depicted as almost completely sexual” (Fong, 177). In the short story as well as the poem, they can manipulate the messages of gender and sexuality of Asian American females that are being represented in both stories. Throughout Fong’s short story, there is a lot of controversy whether or not Asian American females are being portrayed with negative images, for example as sex objects. I also researched instances on the counter actions taken by Asian American females that protest the negative images, such as the dragon lady. I believe that Asian American females are being portrayed with such negative images, such as...

...Happy Together: “messages sent to no one” The scene in which Chang takes Fai’s tape-‐recorded sadness to the “end of the world” represents a different kind of feeling compared to the theme of the rest of the movie. The “end of the world” is the only one scene which is characterized by magnificence, brightness, and the revealing of happiness upon the release of sadness. In the film, sadness is materialized as the tape recording of one person’s past thoughts, language and emotions. This concept represents a special relationship between time and memory: recording is a method of missing, and the action of leaving tape in the end of the world is to forget completely. In this film, Fai misses his controversial life with Bo-‐wing that is full of love and sadness. So, Fai wants to forget the whole past life, since the deeper he loves Bo-‐wing, the more sadness he will suffer...
