...The Document A feasibility study is a study that assesses the viability of an idea. It seeks to identify potential problems and to determine whether an idea will work. It provides details on how a business can succeed, and it serves as a tool for creating a good business plan.

There are various methods to learn when pupils are progressing from simple to complex tasks. The first type is what is called the headstand. The headstand is one of the easiest skills to learn when starting gymnastics. It is also a skill that helps pupils to learn about balancing and tightening their body. This is also a good skill to learn the basic shape for the handstand. The Headstand position is described as a position in gymnastics or yoga, in which one supports oneself vertically on one's head with the hands braced for support on the floor or on a mat. How a...

...EXPERIENCE HBR.ORG Case Study A theme park operator considers whether the boost in ticket sales is worth the trouble. by Marco Bertini, Luc Wathieu, Betsy Page Sigman, and Michael I. Norton The Experts Gideon Lask is the founder of BuyaPowa, a UK-based social commerce business. Do Social Deal Sites Really Work? T he sales reps from DailyDilly had just finished their rollicking video presentation, and the laughter in the meeting room was starting to subside. Ruth Davison, the marketing director of Flanagan Theme Parks, was still smiling when she finally spoke. “I’m thoroughly impressed,” she said. “This would give us the marketing capabilities we’ve always wanted.” Will Eastman, Flanagan’s operations director, was beaming. He had suggested doing the promotion with DailyDilly, a fast-growing Australian social-couponing company similar to Groupon and LivingSocial. “Then I think we’re ready to make a decision,” he said. Everyone looked at Allie James, a consultant decades younger than Will and Ruth. Allie had been working with Flanagan for just over a month. She knew she had to kill the DailyDilly initiative but was reluctant to do it with the reps present. “Let’s discuss this off-line,” she said. Will slapped the table. “Come on,” he demanded. “We’re here now.” The DailyDilly reps became wide-eyed. Allie took a deep breath. If Will was going to push her, she’d be blunt. “No, then,” Allie said. “It’s not on.” Will pushed his chair back and walked out of the room...

...PROLOGUE Fortress of the Light Pedron Niall's aged gaze wandered about his private audience chamber, but dark eyes hazed with thought saw nothing. Tattered wall hangings, once battle banners of the enemies of his youth, faded into dark wood paneling laid over stone walls, thick even here in the heart of the Fortress of the Light. The single chair in the room heavy, high-backed, and almost a throne - was as invisible to him as the few scattered tables that completed the furnishings. Even the white-cloaked man kneeling with barely restrained eagerness on the great sunburst set in the wide planks of the floor had vanished from Niall's mind for the moment, though few would have dismissed him so lightly. Jaret Byar had been given time to wash before being brought to Niall, but both his helmet and his breastplate were dulled from travel and battered from use. Dark, deep-set eyes shone with a feverish, urgent light in a face that seemed to have had every spare scrap of flesh boiled away. He wore no sword - none was allowed in Niall's presence - but he seemed poised on the edge of violence, like a hound awaiting the loosing of the leash. Twin fires on long hearths at either end of the room held off the late winter cold. It was a plain, soldier's room, really, everything well made but nothing extravagant except for the sunburst. Furnishings came to the audience chamber of the Lord Captain Commander of the Children of the Light with the man who rose to the office; the...

...Unit 1: Brand Made in Europe Almost every fashion label outside the top luxury brands is either already manufacturing in Asia or thinking of it. Coach, the US leather goods maker, is a classic example. Over the past five years, it has lifted gross margins1 from 55 per cent to 71 per cent by manufacturing solely in low-cost markets. In March 2002 it closed its factory in Lares, Puerto Rico, its last company-owned plant, and now outsources all its products. Burberry has many Asian licensing arrangements2. In 2000 it decided to renew Sanyo's Japanese licence for 10 years.This means that almost half of Burberry's sales at retail value will continue to be produced under licence in Asia. At the same time, however, Japanese consumers prefer the group's European-made products. Sanyo is now reacting to this demand for a snob3 (a) thích làm sang alternative to the Burberry products made in its factories across Asia by opening a flagship store4 in Tokyo's Ginza, where it sells Buberry imported from Europe. In interviews with the FT, many executives say the top luxury brands will continue to be seen, particularly in Asia, as European .Domenico De Sole, who is to step down next year from chief executive of Gucci, the Florentine fashion and leather goods group, says: "The Asian consumer really does believe - whether it's true or not - that luxury comes from Europe and must be made there to be the best.

...Hodges 1 [Amber Hodges graduated from Kalamazoo College in June 2003. She was a senior Sociology/Anthropology major and Psychology minor when she wrote this Observation Report in Spring of 2003]. Observation Report Amber Hodges Introduction Siefert et. al describe children’s play as intrinsically motivated, process oriented, creative and nonliteral, governed by implicit rules, spontaneous and self-initiated, and free from major emotional distress(1997 p. 221-222). For example, the rules of a made-up game that children play cannot be discerned from a rulebook that stands independently of the activity; rather, one can discern rules by either observing or being actively involved in the play process. For children, play is the arena where they ultimately control what is going on, through communication and negotiation with each other, and as such, it is an arena where they are able to gain mastery over problems in their life, learn adult skills and roles, and further develop cognitive abilities (Siefert 1997). But, often times, children do not have complete hold over their environments. They can’t shape what and how they play through their own design. Wardle introduces the concept of an environmental press, “the forces at work in a setting which shape the behavior of people in that setting” (1999 p. 245). One principle of the environmental press is that of progressive conformity, where people’s behavior tends to become congruent with the press of the environment. Accordingly, the...

...A STUDY ON SEMANTIC FEATURES OF PURPOSIVE ADJUNCTS IN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE Le Thi Bich Hanh University of Foreign Languages, The University of Danang Email: lebichhanh_dn@yahoo.com ABSTRACT Having a good guide to translate appropriately English purposive adjuncts (PAs) into Vietnamese and vice versa has become monumentally necessary. So, in this study, we would like to compare and contrast English and Vietnamese PAs in terms of their semantic features in meaningful interactional situations in the strong belief that using appropriate PAs, writers and speakers can reduce the negative meanings of their sentences and increase the acceptability of the readers and hearers in communication. In terms of theory, the study focuses on identifying the similarities and differences in the uses of adjuncts to express purposes and hence finding the cultural factors affecting those choices. In practice, the study hopes to provide some implications in language teaching and learning as well as translating. The practical information in the research can raise language users’ awareness of the subtle differences between the uses of PAs in both languages so that they can fulfill their communicative purpose in real life. Key words: purposive adjuncts; purposive subordinators; semantic features; compare; implication * Introduction Most languages in the world have particular linguistic devices for expressing purposes implicitly and explicitly. Purposive adjuncts (PAs) are some of those...
