It was a hit until the new owner step on the scene and the original owner had to give up on his passion since a teenage boy. ENO struggles to stay alive and revive itself with a new name, menu and swagger for the Elite socialite. In the mind of an entrepreneur failure is never an option. No entrepreneur wants to hear the word or talk about it. ENO got a second chance to shine in the spot light keeping its original name to include the new owner first name ENO by Zaza. Many would be impression that the new owner is a celebrity basketball player but was his star status good enough to score points to keep a business from failure. ENO was a European-Mediterranean influenced restaurant and wine bar. “ENO” derives from the ancient Roman term “Enotria” meaning “Land of Wine” Past and...

... to forget the numerous local references (think MRT woes, Kopitiam delights and subtle political jibes) thrown in to connect with audiences. La Cage integrated the local aspect seamlessly and the very current references made the show all the more accessible without losing the essence of the script. La Cage tells the story of Albin (Ivan Heng) and George (Tony Eusoff), a gay couple who own a club where Albin transforms into drag queen ZaZa every night. When their “son” Jonathan (Aaron Khaled) announces his decision to marry Anne, the daughter of Mr C K Tan from the Traditional Family Morality Party-‐ its name is self explanatory of the trouble...

...fully-embraced sleaziness, run the risk of providing us with a Broadway that showcases sexual minorities as grubby outsiders and burlesque bar vagrants. According to Havery, La Cage aux Folles is another story of love conquering all. For many, there was tremendous activism even in the chaste love song between the middle-aged gay couple early in the first act. More unbridled pride came out when Albin, as Zaza, ripped off his wig to sing the climactic, "I Am What I Am," a lasting anthem for Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual and transgender GBT rights if there ever was one. Perhaps, though, the real activism of La Cage was more implicit: the way that the integrity of a gay family held together in the end despite being pulled at many different seams. Book by John Cameron Mitchell Finally on Broadway, the best new musical of the last 20 years is reaching larger and wider audiences than ever before. It may seem odd that this show is so universal. After all, Hedwig's story was extremely unique. East German ex-pat post-botched-operative transgender glam rock/cabaret singer on a shoddy tour in the...

...ZARA Discussion Question 1: Why does Zara's business model appear to be better adapted to the recession than Gap's? Why and how does Zara's business model make it more resilient to business cycles? Zara’s business model is better adapted to the recession than Gap’s because of its lean inventory system. Firstly, the lean system allows Zara to offer a much more up to date line of fashions. With its lean inventory and its fast and effective logistics system, Zara is able to avoid the profit damaging markdowns that Gap constantly battles with due to its high inventories. Gap struggles in this aspect since they have large inventories and are forced to store much of their inventory in warehouses. This forces Gap to offer generic products that are less susceptible to changes in customer demands. The lean system that Zara practices also enables the company to quickly and easily adjust to seasonal fads and fashions that continuously occur in this industry. From the article it sounds like Zara practices an international strategy. Zara focuses on centralizing its core activity of providing the most up to date fashions at a low cost, and decentralizing its operation. Zara has effective mechanisms for diffusion and adaptation, which are the required assets and capabilities for this strategy. Discussion Question 2: By the same token, what kinds of business conditions might expose hidden weaknesses in Zara's business model? The article mentions the issue of Zara's complexity....

...Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhchivan) and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus are to the south; the Aegean Sea is to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. The Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles (which together form the Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between East Thrace and Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia.[8] Turkey is one of the six independent Turkic states. The vast majority of the population are Muslims.[9] The country's official language is Turkish, whereas Kurdish and Zazaki languages are spoken by Kurds and Zazas, who constitute 18% of the population.[10] Oghuz Turks began migrating into the area now called Turkey (derived from the Medieval Latin Turchia, i.e. "Land of the Turks") in the 11th century. The process was greatly accelerated by the Seljuk victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert.[11] Several small beyliks and the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion. Starting from the 13th century, the Ottoman beylik united Anatolia and created an empire encompassing much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. After the Ottoman Empire collapsed following its defeat in World War I, parts of it were occupied by the victorious Allies. A cadre of young military officers, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk...

...Childhood obesity has grown into an epidemic within the last 30 years. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2011), “7% of children were considered obese in the U.S. in 1980, and by 2008, it was nearly 20%. Additionally, the incidence of obesity among adolescent children, aged 12-19 years, grew from 5% to 18% over the same time period” (CDC, 2011). Coincidentally, over the past 30 years, more parents are working, not only every day, but longer hours, and in many cases both parents are working. Is the rat race killing our kids? There is an epidemic of parents who are too tired or lazy to engage their children, and have begun relying on the T.V., computers, or video games to occupy and entertain them. Also, the evolution of new technology has children involved with a screen of some sort, whether it’s a T.V., video game, cell phone, computer, etc, hence researchers have coined the term, “screen time.” This behavior of instant gratification has created an environment of sedentary behavior, as well as fostering a lack of personal interaction with others. The increase in screen time has become a normal way for parents to occupy their children while they are busy doing tasks of their own or resting after a long day at work. This paper will show that as a society, everyone should be proactive, take responsibility, and offer support and encouragement to promote appropriate physical activity in children. Children must be shown that there are more things to do outside...

...Review of Related Literature (Appendix C) Gender Differences Gender differences have become on the hotlist of critical issues around the world. Hausmann, Tyson, & Zahidi (2009) reported that there is no country in the world that has yet reached equality between women and men in different critical areas such economic participation or education. It is well accepted that there are no differences in the general intelligence or basic cognition between males and females, the issue is whether each category is innately better at certain, very specific, skills. The cognitive differences that have been put forward include men being slightly better than women at tasks that involve the mental spatial rotation of an object, spatial perception and visualization, and math problem solving. Women seem to score slightly better on tasks that involve visual memory, word and landmark recall and math calculations (Kimura, Doreen, 2002, Pinker, Spelke, 2005, Newcomb, Nora et. al., 2005). “It is important to remember, when we sees assertions such as these, that these are general trends and that not every individual is held to them. Although both men and women as populations tend to do better at certain tasks, the margin of difference is quite small”(K. Smythe, 2008) Male “In mathematics, boys and girls have similar results at the fourth and eighth school years in most countries. Boys' advantage emerges in the later school years and is especially noticeable among students who attend the...

En términos generales, la información y los estados financieros deben mostrar la situación económica financiera en una entidad en una determinada fecha, así como el resultado de las operaciones realizadas durante el período al cual se refiere. Los estados financieros por muy bien preparados que estén, constituyen cuadros numéricos insuficientes para explicar el sentido de la situación financiera y la productividad de una entidad. Los estados financieros y su examen superficial se utilizan como punto de partida para una investigación posterior de que solo proporcionan referencias acerca de hechos concernientes a un negocio. El inicio de un análisis presupone: En el especialista que lo efectúa: La posesión de ciertas ideas previas sobre lo que va a analizar.
