...wine of stunning grace, richness and complexity.” It was often called the most seductive and elegant of all Bordeaux wines. Château Margaux officially classified in 1855 as a "first-growth" (one of only five in the Bordeaux region). A critic commented, “The Château Margaux 1953 is considered a superstar among wines. It just improves in power, elegance and charm with age. Andre's first vintage in 1978 was seen as one of the best Bordeaux wines of the year. Unfortunately, he died suddenly in 1980 before he could see the full transformation of the château. Corine is his daughter inherited the estate. She is 27 years old, high educated and work in the marketing but she does not know anything about wine industry. Corine hired a new General Manager, Pontallier, 27 years old doctor of enology who never run the estate in France before. But by time, he has proved that he is successful and became one of the world's best wine experts. Corine and Pontallier work together, they have a big achievement. They transformed Château Margaux from the worst to the one of the best first growths. Mentzelopoulos...

...A fuzzy logic approach to urban land-use mapping Henning Sten Hansen National Environmental Research Institute, Ministry of Environment & Energy Frederiksborgvej 399, DK-4000, Roskilde, Denmark Phone : +45 46 30 18 07 Fax : +45 46 30 12 12 HSH@DMU.DK Abstract. The growth of cities represents huge problems for modern societies. Monitoring, analysing and modelling the urban dynamic call for detailed mapping of urban land-use. Traditionally, urban land-use mapping is based on orthophotos and satellite images, but deriving land-use from remote-sensing alone is not satisfactory. The Danish Building & Dwelling Register is a database containing detailed information like year of construction, use, area etc. Therefore, this database provides a useful foundation for urban land-use mapping. To be able to track urban land-use changes over time, we have chosen square cells (100m x 100m) as basic mapping units. Generally, land cover and land-use mapping are based on crisp classification, but in the current project we have applied a fuzzy modeling approach to land-use mapping. Fuzzy classification offers a better choice in urban land-use mapping, because it can indicate the primary, secondary etc. land-use simultaneously. This will offer more meaningful information for planners and a more detailed understanding of the land-use patterns. Based on these principles, a nation wide urban land-use database for the year 1997 is established. 1 Introduction Metropolitan areas all over the...

...In modern society, advertising is used as a powerful tool to communicate a message. But it is more than simply selling a product. Advertisers not only just sell products, they sell ideals, values and normalcy. They also help to create or express consumers' identity, including gender (Van den Bulck, Van Hellemont 623). Gender roles are defined as the behavioural patterns indicating to others you are a male or a female. In other word, this is also linked to masculinity and femininity. In North America, advertising labels masculinity with traits such as dominance, assertiveness and independence. In contrast, we have femininity in which advertising labels as passive, beautiful and co-dependant. These two images advertisers try to paint normalize the stereotypes of different gender roles. Different companies use different strategies to sell products and encourage consumers to part with their hard earned money. Advertising reinforces particular gender norms. Through an analysis of a case study of anti-aging cream aimed towards women, this paper will argue that all advertising fundamentally plays on dominant ideologies to make people believe that in order to be “normal” or “successful”, they must buy product X. In particular, it will focus on how dominant norms surrounding masculinity and femininity are encouraged. These norms suggest what is considered an acceptable male and female appearance. It will also focus in particular on gender norms which female attractiveness is above all...

...characterized by an emphasis on the importance of family life and by constant moving in order to find work that would support the family. The conditions of their lives led the working poor to deeply value loyalty and aid to fellow working poor and to dream about ways they could have differently as they engaged in a futile struggle against fierce and embedded poverty in order to improve their lives. As industrialization and urbanization continued across the South, the lives of working poor continued to be those of poverty and constant struggle. For many, it simply became a way of life, and hope for improvement in future generations seemed dim. For some, however, it seemed that the working poor themselves could be the impetus for change because, as Corine Cannon states, “We could straighten this country out, all this waste that’s going on, because we’ve been taught that you can make do, that where there’s a will, there’s a way, and how to make a way out of no way.” ...

...What, if any, do you consider to be acceptable justifications of state violence? Violence is seen and argued on a global matter, the idea of acceptable justifications for state violence is a continually debateable topic. State violence is morally never acceptable because we are prohibited to harm or kill the innocent. Although there are conditions under which most people, even those who think state violence is not acceptable, may agree that state violence is the only alternative if there is a catastrophic threat, imminent danger, no other alternative and against a greater evil to a community. These are the 4 conditions of supreme emergency that can be used to justify the Hiroshima bombings if it was an act of supreme emergency or just an act of terrorism. A State is the organization which has the monopoly of the use of violence. There are two major forms of this. One is against other states, which we call war. The other is the organized violence against its citizens practiced by almost all States. There is the symbolic kind, the fascist architecture, thought control through propaganda, giant parades and nationalist music. There is also the development of penal and legal institutions which often divides up the population into the free and the imprisoned (Macfarlane 2007). The Hiroshima bombings would come under violence as war, where the U.S. bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan with the acute effects killing 90,000–166,000 people (Rezelman...

...Leadership: Trustworthiness and Ethical Stewardship MGT7019-8: Ethics in Business Northcentral University Dr. Jo Ann Davis November 12, 2012 Leadership: Trustworthiness and Ethical Stewardship The problem to be investigated is the correlation linking the components of leadership, trustworthiness, ethical stewardship, and their effects on sustainable organizational culture. This paper will identify both the similarities and differences between the practices of those who have influence over the decision making process pertaining to the ethical issues faced by their organization. In addition, this essay will present an evaluation of the measures that a business may take to meet ethical considerations relative to social performance, financial performance and reputation. Finally, the paper will provide an assessment of the degree to which social, ethical and public issues should be considered regarding both internal and external shareholder connections. Among the international business market, the significance of comprehending the associations connecting management behaviors, awareness regarding manager’s trustworthiness and the moral duties inherent in the psychological bond are becoming progressively more important (Caldwell, Hayes, & Long, 2012). It is increasingly acknowledged that one’s moral character and competence are important prerequisites of the trademarks for leading with integrity and having the ability to build trust in organizations (Harrington, 2010)...

...What is the relationship between person – supervisor fit and job satisfaction? Testing with mediating variable organisational commitment & moderating variable perceived organisational support. Hans Boudewijn, Michèlle Merkx & Eefje Vogels University of Amsterdam, Business School The Netherlands Abstract Today, little is known about the individual relationship of Person-Supervisor fit and job satisfaction. This study examines this relationship as well moderating effect of perceived organizational support and the mediating effect of organizational commitment. This idea came from a real life example on the University of Amsterdam. Employees working in the University were dissatisfied by the low level of perceived support from the organisation itself, but were still satisfied on their job overall, because of the good fit between the employee and the supervisor (Person-Supervisor fit). In this study only evidence is found for the direct relationship of Person-Supervisor fit and job satisfaction and the moderating influence of perceived organizational support, when the level of perceived support is low. This study contributes to the existing literature by extending the current knowledge about the relationship between Person-Supervisor fit and job satisfaction. This information is valuable to applicants, recruiters and employees because it influences their attitudes, decisions and behaviours in the work domain (Kristof-Brown, 2005). Evidence is found for direct relationship...

A number of organizations with which he is involved actively promote and incubate social businesses. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_business) In Yunus' definition, a social business is a non-loss, non-dividend company designed to address a social objective within the highly regulated marketplace of today. It is distinct from a non-profit because the business should seek to generate a modest profit but this will be used to expand the company’s reach, improve the product or service or in other ways to subsidise the social mission. In fact a wider definition of social business is possible, including any business which has a social rather than financial objective. Prototype: In Yunus’ book Creating a World without Poverty—Social Business and the Future of Capitalism, two different types of social businesses are proposed: ...
