This case examines efforts to his third Disney park outside the United States to open in Hong Kong Disneyland. It begins with the discussion on the experience of Paris and Tokyo Disneyland, and then discusses the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, including the structure of the deal, and how the operations, human resources management and marketing were designed to fit the Chinese cultural environment. The case also discusses the tourism industry in Hong Kong and the special problems that have occurred during the first year of operations. The stage is set for students to discuss...

...Activity 1.1.4 Pulley Drives and Sprockets | | Introduction Pulleys and sprockets achieve the same tasks as gears by transferring power through rotary motion. Depending on how pulleys and sprockets are applied, speed, direction, and torque can be modified within the system. Pulleys and sprockets are both used in everyday machines ranging from industrial applications to moving printer heads within a desktop printer. Typically, belts and pulleys are easier to manufacture, lighter weight, and less expensive to purchase than sprockets and chains. Although chains and sprockets are more difficult to manufacture and often noisier, they have the advantage of not slipping as easily and tend to be more durable than a belt and pulley system. Procedure In this activity you will learn about belt and pulley systems and sprocket and chain systems. You will calculate ratios of examples of both systems in a lab environment. Belt and Pulley Systems A driver pulley (input) powers one or more driven pulleys (output). The pulleys are connected by belts. The ratios are based on the relationship between the different pulleys. As shown in Figure 1, pulleys manipulate torque and speed. | | Figure 1 The ratios of belt and pulley systems are the same as for gears. The exception is that there are no teeth on a pulley to count, so you must rely on the diameter of each pulley. It is common for multiple pulleys to be used with a single belt as seen in Figure 2.

...Fysikrapport: Bestemmelse af bølgelængden for laserlys Formål: Formålet med denne øvelse er at måle bølgelængden for lyset fra to forskellige lasere, en rød og en grøn. Teori og hypoteser: Hvis vi sender en laserstråle igennem et gitter, dannes en række adskilte lyspletter. Dette fænomen kan beskrives ved gitterligningen n⋅λ=d⋅sin(ϕn) n = ordner λ = bølgelængde d = gitterkonstant ϕ= vinkel for ordnen Materialer: - grøn laser - violet laser - rød laser -papir med en cirkel der har tydeliggjort de 360 grader rundt i cirklen -gitter spejl -lineal Opstilling og fremgangsmåde: vi fandt alle vores materialer som er listet i starten af rapporten. -vi sørgede for et mørkt lokale for at tydeliggøre lyset -vi tog laseren ud for 0 graders markeringen, og førte laseren roligt og så præcist vi kunne for at få præcise resultater. vi sørgede for at laseren passerede vores gitter og lod sig vise på den anden side fordelt ud i ordner så markerede vi de 3 første ordner, altså 1, 2 og 3 orden. så var 0’te orden ved 0 grader, og 1,2 og 3 orden skulle så fordele sig ud ved siden af eksempel så 1’te orden er ved 2 grader og 2 orden er ved 5 grader. på den måde fandt vi deres vinkel vi gentog det med forskellige gitre og lasere. til sidst udregnede vi bølge...

...ax Return Problem 1 (TRP 1) Corporate Tax Return Information The Snap-It-Open Corporation incorporated and began operations on January 15, 2002. Its address is 3701 Commerce Drive, Baltimore, MD 23239. Its employer identification number is 69-7414447. It elects to file its initial tax return for 2002 as a calendar-year corporation and uses the accrual method of accounting. It elects the LIFO method of inventory valuation. Jason Sprull (SSN 333-33-3333) and Martin Winsock (SSN 555-55-5555) formed the business. They each contributed $250,000 cash for 50 percent of the 100,000 shares of $1 par value stock issued and outstanding. The company was formed to assemble and market a unique, compact, snap-open umbrella and its business activity code is 339900. These umbrellas are sold to a variety of organizations as premiums. The company purchases the umbrella frames and several types of waterproof fabric for the umbrella material and covers from various manufacturers. It prints the organizations’ advertising logos or other designs on the umbrella material and covers and then assembles these on the umbrella frames for delivery to the customer.

...HOW TO WRITE A RESUME Your resume is an important document, which a potential interviewer will use to make their first assessment of you. The information and template below will help you produce a resume that is easy to read and packed with facts. Contact details Add your contact details at the top of the page. Include name, address, phone number, mobile and email. Make sure your name and contact details are on each page just in case the pages get separated after being printed out in hard copy. Only use professional-sounding email addresses. An email address like drunk-n-drunker@ may give the wrong impression. Birth date and marital status You are not obliged to include either your birth date or marital status – it’s up to you. Lay out There are many layout styles; our advice is to keep it simple. Pick a font style that is easy to read – not too flowery or ornate. Bold for headings are easy to read. Use dot points if you want, but just the one type. The content of the resume is the most important thing. Summarising your strengths You can do this two ways, either list your “Key Strengths” in dot points or include a section under a heading like “Career Profile”. Key Strengths Use dot points to highlight your key strengths. The aim of the section is to give the person reading your resume a quick snapshot of what you have to offer. For example: • High level computer skills including Excel, Word and Powerpoint. • Five years experience in...

...------------------------------------------------- MTA Announces Proposals for Fare Increases The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has unveiled proposals that would increase fares and tolls to raise additional, vitally needed revenue to support the New York region's transportation system. The increases come during an era of successful and unprecedented MTA management actions to cut controllable expenses. In fact, the MTA will spend less in 2012 on its controllable costs than it did in 2011. Year-over-year controllable costs are lower by 0.3%. "Costs that the MTA does not exercise control over, namely those for debt service, pensions, energy, paratransit, and employee and retiree health care, continue to increase beyond the rate of inflation," said MTA Chairman and CEO Joseph J. Lhota. "We are grappling with long-term measures to reduce these frustrating and difficult non-discretionary expenses, but today, they are the drivers of the need for a fare and toll increase." The fare and toll proposals will be the subject of a geographically diverse, multi-platform public review process that starts today and lasts through mid-December. The proposals will be subject to modification after the public review process and will be considered for adoption by the MTA Board at its December 19 meeting. The new fare and toll rates would go into effect on or about March 1, 2013. "The public will have significant input into our decision-making process. In the spirit of transparency...
