Whittle Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Studies BARKER Design Considerations for Retractable-roof Stadia by Andrew H. Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural...

...never share their influences with one another, rather than praising each other their animosity is not only present in their island but also in America too with first and second generation Haitian and Dominicans Americans. Why one island praises their African roots while the other tries to eliminate and hide it? Growing up in a predominate Haitian household you are opened to the culture, the cuisine, the music and the history, and this is for the same for a Dominican household, but imagine being of both ethnicities and wanting both. In some instances, the families allows both cultures to influence their household which can be a positive and negative thing. Some people are lucky to grow up in both and experience their cultures and see the similarities they share. In the media today celebrities who are of Haitian and Dominican descent are more proud of speaking about both countries rather than one even considering themselves as Afro-Latino Caribbean American rather than Afro-Caribbean American, this representation is uplifting to those who were not able to be around that from a younger age to now. Six years ago, Haiti was hit by the devastating earthquake which claimed the lives of almost 250,000 and more people. The world seen as Dominican Republic put their issues aside with Haiti to rush in to save their neighboring country. But as the years went by the deep rooted problems between Dominican Republic and Haiti grew, thus three years later leading to the Dominican Republic government...

...Union Expansion Issues for US Employers Micro Units, Employee Free Choice Act, and Armour Globe Key Rulings of the NLRB and Their Effects Timothy M McDonald Webster University Abstract There are three major areas of recent changes to unionization. These changes are making unionization efforts easier expanding the burden of employers to defend against these efforts. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rulings and congressional actions in both the House and Senate have eased the way you collect signatures for election of unionization. Additional NLRB rulings have made it much easier and cheaper for unions to unionize with much faster elections and easing of rules regarding who should be included in a unionization vote. The Employees Free Choice Act has the potential to remove the secret vote portion of election to join or form a union. In addition to leveling fines on employers found to have committed unfair labor practices, it would impose binding federal arbitration in the contract negotiations after a short period of days. Micro Unit defined bargaining units have eased the way for unions to pinpoint very small pro union portions of a population where the percentage of yes votes is easier to obtain. This smaller unit can then “salt” the larger population waiting for the opportune time to expand. From this waiting position they can seek further micro units within the same store with a horizontal strategy of the population type but a different location. Lastly the expanded...

...European Research Studies, Volume XIV, Issue (2), 2011 “Carolina Herrera” Internationalization Strategy: Democratic Luxury or Maximum Exclusiveness? Cristina Calvo Porral1, Domingo Calvo Dopico2 Abstract: The Company Carolina Herrera has identified a market niche that demands garments, apparel and accessories and to which it can offer a somewhat differentiated product with excellent quality. This market niche is the target of several companies such as Loewe and Vuitton, which may be clearly identified as the leading companies and worldwide references. In this scenario, the question of which internationalization strategy must be pursued to access the luxury fashion product market should be raised. A Benchmarking analysis was carried out for the purpose of identifying best commercial performances of leading worldwide Brand names to determine the marketing planning strategy. Results show the companies’ recognition of a globalised luxury and the discovery of a global market niche with huge growth potential, such as luxury handbags, make us state that there are still growth opportunities that have not been exploited.

Wood Rutgers University-Camden, USA Abstract: Caribbean cruise tourism provides a particularly illuminating vantage point for understanding the processes of globalization in the world today. After documenting the rapid expansion of this business, the paper explores three central manifestations of globalization at work in the Caribbean cruise industry: the restructuring of the industry in the face of global competition, capital mobility, and labor migration; new patterns of global ethnic recruitment and strati®cation, including their incorporation into the product marketed to tourists; and deterritorialization, cultural theming, and simulation. The paper asserts that this ``globalization at sea'' illustrates the contradictions, ambiguities, and unchartered course of contemporary globalization processes.

...and beauty products” (Keller, 2015). Despite the obvious similarities to its competitors in terms of product offerings, Target distinguishes itself from the pack by promoting affordable quality, rather than low prices (as is the case with most retail discounters). As such, Target’s brand has become virtually synonymous with the concept of “cheap chic.” This strategy has made Target one of the most profitable and recognizable brands in the U.S. This essay will examine the branding methods employed by Target to differentiate itself within the retail industry and build significant brand equity among its loyal fans. The Past 50 Years Though the Target concept began to take form in the early 1900’s, operating as a retailer of dry good, the first operation to be named and fully resemble what we now know as Target, wouldn’t open until the early 1960’s. It was at this time that Target founder, George Dayton began to realize the opportunity to separate his brand from the competition by offering nationally-recognized brands at discounted prices, a move that Dayton believed would appeal to “value-conscience” consumers. The text notes that this model was not a new one when proposed by Dayton. It does not however note the complexity of operating such a model. More recent research identifies two distinct consumer behaviors, both driven by differing psychographics, which at a surface level, would seem to work against Dayton’s new value...

...Sensitive Skin: It is a Growing Problem and We Should Create Products to Help Customers Combat the Issue Have you ever tried a product for the first time and had some type of reaction to it? Well on average, 4 out of 10 women do have a reaction to new skin care or cosmetic products (Kligman, 2006). As one of the world leaders in the beauty industry, we should provide products for all skin types, even the most sensitive. Recent studies have shown that customers are worrying more about what they put on their skin and the possible reactions they will have. Customers want to know the products are made for their sensitive skin, but will also give them the type of results they come to expect from our brand. One of our competitors, Clinique, offers products that are gentle on the skin and do not contain some of the more popular irritants (Why Clinique, 2013). We need to figure out a way to gain the customers of our competitors and have them enjoy our products for what they offer to their skin. This study will help us understand the exact customer we want to reach as well as what they are looking for in their products. We will then be able to determine if we can move into the production phase and when the products are finished, where they should be sold. Problem Statement As more and more consumers are becoming health conscious, they are worry about their skin. In order to have healthy skin, you should wash, tone, and moisturize daily. For those with sensitive skin, it could be...
