...free-form dots scattered over the culinary map, perhaps it’s time to connect those dots. Molecular gastronomy can be defined as the fusion of food science and culinary arts. New technologies and natural texturing agents can now be used to deconstruct any dishes and cocktails, enabling one to serve mojito bubbles and martini bites, as well as balsamic vinegar pearls and chocolate spaghettis. Molecular Gastronomy has become the name of the scientific discipline co-created by Nicholas Kurti and Herve This, based on exploring the science behind traditional cooking methods. Herve This identified five goals of this new science: “(1) to collect and investigate old wives’ tales about cooking; (2) to model and scrutinize existing recipes; (3) to introduce new tools, products, and methods to cooking; (4) to invent new dishes using knowledge from the previous three aims; and (5) to use the appeal of food to promote science.” Molecular gastronomy was born in 1988, when two scientists, Nicholas Kurti and Herve This, decided to investigate culinary transforma¬tions. This described molecular and physical gastronomy as the physics and chemistry behind the preparation of a dish. In 1992, both scientists organized the first International Workshop on Molecular and Physical Gastronomy. Nicholas Kurti was an enthusiastic advocate of applying scientific knowledge...

...hotel Melbourne is actively going “green” is for a number of reasons, the first being a competitive advantage with over half of potential customers stating they are more inclined to use a environmentally friendly hotel as apposed to one that is not (Kirk 1995). Another advantage of going green is employee retention, as employees are more likely to be enthusiastic and motivated when they share the same values as the company (Graci 2009). The most prominent but by no means the main reason for going green is the cost saving associated with going green (Brebbia 2004). The main reason the Luxor is committed to implementing environmental management systems is because as Hervé Houdré, general manager of the Willard intercontinental states “ it is not and opportunity but a responsibility” (Green convergence pp. 10). Herve has created an extensive sustainable development program for his hotel and the blue prints for the intercontinental to follow suit (Green convergence), this is what the Luxor Melbourne hopes to accomplish and set the standards for all Luxor hotels. We will first be addressing environmental concerns within Housekeeping as we see this as a quicker transition than other departments and allow us to see the...

...SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) was developed by the U.S National Security Agency and essentially enforces security policies that limits what a user or program can do by implementing MAC (Mandatory Access Control) in the Linux kernel. It defines a security policy that controls many different things such as files, devices, sockets, ports and even some processes. The Security-enhanced Linux's features are designed to enforce the separation of information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements. They are designed for preventing processes from reading data and programs, tampering with data and programs, bypassing application security mechanisms, executing untrustworthy programs, or interfering with other processes in violation of the system security policy. They also help to confine the potential damage that can be caused by malicious or flawed programs. They should also be useful for enabling a single system to be used by users with differing security authorizations to access multiple kinds of information with differing security requirements without compromising those security requirements. SELinux can be in one of three states or modes and the first mode would be the enforcing/active state. This is the default state wherein no user or program will be able to do anything not permitted by the security policy. The next mode would be the permissive/warn state wherein SELinux sends warning message to a log but does not enforce the security policy. Later, an...

...Aurélien de Villiers de La Noue The Negotiation between Dietrich von Choltitz and Raoul Nordling: Can One Man really change the course of History? The negotiation between the German general Dietrich von Choltitz and the Swedish consul Raoul Nordling concerning the destruction of Paris is highly controversial and no Historian come to a consensus. Movies Paris brûle-t-il? by René Clément and Diplomacy by Volker Schlöndorff rekindled discussion about this quite mysterious negotiation between these two men. How did they manage to reach an agreement? What were the terms of the deal? Was there even a negotiation? This topic caught my attention for it changed the course of History. Had the German burnt Paris, the French would never have forgotten it and the European Union would not have emerged six years after those events (the CECA was created in 1951). I am deeply pro-European and found of History. As a result it amuses me to the how fragile basis of the Union were. I also like to think that one man, no matter the context and the lack of leverage –we are talking of one man trying to talk a German general out of following Hitler’s orders- can have so much impact on thanks to his words only. To me, one of the key factors in the negotiation is time. Here, it is said that Nordling had but one night to settle this issue. Past, present and future are indeed vital with one another as the past experiences, the standards of legitimacy, the previous relationships determine the ...

...production issues including high and rising input costs, long value chain (many middle men) and the fragmentation which enables suppliers to have extensive bargaining power. * Rationale behind our recommendations: * Rather than making recommendations for an individual wine company or an AOC, we believe that a national initiative along with industry-specific changes is necessary given the scale of the issue. We believe that implementing government-based recommendations will foster the changes sought with the industry-specific recommendations. Recommendations to the French government: * Create an initiative from the top by exploiting the long reputation of gold wine crafters and creating a national advantage: * Herve Gaymard, the French Minister of Agriculture, with the support and visibility of Jacques Chirac, President of France, should kick off a new initiative: La Renaissance du Vin Français de l’an 2003 (The 2003 French Wine Renaissance) with a new vision: “France, the gold standard in wine production with new innovations” (an old dog that's learned new tricks). Maintain the “French countryside small vineyard” value that separates France from the rest of the industry with a cooperative marketing strategy: * In 1991, the “French paradox” was very successful in increasing wine consumption across the board. 12 years later, an update that continues to show a relationship between wine consumption and...

...Ritz Carlton Management Objectives & Goals Dwight Torres American Military University Abstract Ritz Carlton hotels are considered to be the leader in the luxury line of fine hotel accommodations. We will use online and offline references to explore and research how this came to be. We will consider the history, leadership, and management of the hotel brand in order to better understand their current position in the industry. In addition, we will focus on the employee recruitment process and the extensive training required to sustain the Gold Standard in this very competitive and sophisticated market. The Ritz Carlton’s Credo, Motto, and Three Basic Steps are the highlight of their success. Everyone at the Ritz is focused on ensuring his or her guests have a memorable experience. Keywords: Gold Standard, Credo, Motto, and Three Basic Steps In order to understand how the Ritz Carlton Hotel became known as a world-class hotel, first we must understand the history of the Ritz. Established by Cesar Ritz who was known in Europe as the "king of hoteliers and hotelier to kings", he redefined luxury accommodations with his management of The Ritz in Paris and the Carlton Hotel in London. Between 1905 and 1914, he and Auguste Escoffier opened several a la carte restaurants known as Ritz Carlton aboard well-known luxury ships. Unfortunately, as a result of World War I the Ritz Carlton chain or luxury restaurants ceased operating in 1914. Cesar Ritz died shortly after...

...such as the “Paris Attacks” were brutal and merciless. These attacks were well organized and many were killed. The attacks left 130 dead and hundreds wounded. This is just one reason why Isis should be killed. The Isis leader, Abu Du’a, was born on July 28, 1971. He is explained to be a “caliph”, political and religious leader, to his many followers. He wants to make a caliphate, Islamic state, which everyone in it have to abide Sharia Law. DAESH 4 Daesh There are many reasons why Isis and all of their followers need to be taken care of. They hate everyone but themselves, this shows in their everyday actions. They've inspired many people, such as the Isis-inspired attack in Paris. A lorry driver named Yassir Salhi beheads Herve Cornara near a chemical plant in Lyon (Magazine, T. June, 2015). Not even Al-Qaeda wants anything to do with Isis anymore. On February 5, 2014, Al-Qaeda cuts ties with Isis because of the group's expansion into Syria. The Al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was not fond of the extreme ways they deal with things. Extremes that are medieval and cruel, such as beheadings and crucifixions. (John, T. (2015, October 9). TIME. Retrieved December 18, 2015, from http://time.com/) The brutality of Isis is evil and destructive. They are such an evil people that they will burn children alive in cages, and behead christians that are “Hated because we want to exist as christians.”, Iraqi Christian stated. It doesn't stop there, many Arab Christians are...

...EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY OF LEFKE NAME: JESSE RYAN JOHNSON STUDENT ID: 154262 COURSE: CRISIS MANAGEMENT (CASE ANALYSIS) WEALTH MANAGEMENT CRISIS AT UBS (B) INTRODUCTION UBS has taken decisive and proactive steps to strengthen its crisis resilience by transforming its strategy and significantly improving its capital strength. The Swiss bank UBS became embroiled in controversy starting in 2008 when the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) made a formal request to travel to Switzerland to probe a multi-billion-dollar tax evasion case involving the bank. The investigation had, in part, been prompted by disclosures made by Bradley Birkenfeld, a former UBS banker in Switzerland, who testified to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The issue started by Birkenfeld's whistleblowing and resulting controversy created unprecedented pressure on UBS, the Swiss banking industry and the Swiss government from the U.S eager to claw back delinquent taxes from assets their taxpayers had stashed in offshore accounts maintained by UBS and other Swiss banks. On February 2008 the US department of justice DOJ announced a deferred prosecution agreement with UBS. Whose term allowed UBS to avoid criminal indictment in return of payment of $780 million which comprises interest, penalties, and restitution for unpaid taxes, as well as the 250 names of the US Client who invaded TAXES by hiding assets in Switzerland. Other countries followed the US lead, relying on data that was stolen from...

Similarly provocative was CAN, which was reported to be an acronym for “Communism, Anarchy, Nihilism” by drummer Jaki Liebezeit. Meanwhile, Kraftwerk’s album Radio-Activity speaks to the impending doom associated with nuclear technology, the opening track being the foreboding sound of a Geiger counter picking up speed, commentary well in line with the beliefs of the Green Party. The bands also had a tendency to explore and comment on German identity, directly relatable to discussion occurring in the protests of the 68’ers. Jean-Herve Peron of Faust offered, “We’re German, we’re not afraid of it, we’re not ashamed of it, and we make different music.” Such a statement could only occur in the context of Krautrocks strict departure not only from non-German influence, but also to the new cultural identity that was slowly being formed. Amon Düül’s album Made in Germany spoke to similar ideals, satirizing...

...Consumer Traits and Behaviors Paper and Presentation References PSY/322 Team C: Jesika Corbet, Marshaye Glasscock, Jane Riscica, Yulonda Coleman, and Brandon Treece May 26, 2014 1. Kacen, Jacqueline, J. (2002). The Influence of Culture on Consumer Impulsive Buying Behavior Journal of Consumer Psychology, Volume 12, Issue 2, Pages 163-176 This article would be a helpful resource because it demonstrates the impact annual sales volumes increase in many cultures through impulsive buying. It also allows us to see just how individualism-collectivism, self-identity, and purchase behavior whether it is planned or impulsive contributes to a culture in different fashions. Impulse buying generates over $4 billion in annual sales volume in the United States. With the growth of e-commerce and television shopping channels, consumers have easy access to impulse purchasing opportunities, but little is known about this sudden, compelling, hedonically complex purchasing behavior in non-Western cultures. Yet cultural factors moderate many aspects of consumer's impulsive buying behavior, including self-identity, normative influences, the suppression of emotion, and the postponement of instant gratification. From a multi-country survey of consumers in Australia, United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, our analyses show that both regional level factors (individualism–collectivism) and individual cultural difference factors (independent –interdependent self-concept) systematically...
