She watches, alert to the breeze and soft movements of leaves. And although she doesn’t think of spirits, she does feel them. In fact, she is at one with them: possessed. She is a wild thing after all – a hunter, a killer, a ferocious lover. Our ancestors lived under that same sky, but they surely dreamed different dreams from us. Who knows what they dreamed?

  • ALIBABA: Credibility Crisis- SPRING 2015
    ALIBABA: Credibility Crisis- SPRING 2015 © Leite T, Martin C, Montes C, Reyes S ALIBABA: CREDIBILITY CRISIS SYNOPSIS: For the past eight years, Alibaba has supported business growth throughout China and has begun to expand beyond China’s border aiming to become a leader in international markets. However, this path has not been easy. This case summarizes the challenges Alibaba Group has faced over the recent past, including global expansion, up-and-coming rivals, going public, and an emphasis on the accusations of counterfeiting. Alibaba’s reactions to its challenges are discussed along with the company’s outlook for the future. THEMES: Ecommerce, product strategy, competition, global expansion, positioning, ethics, intellectual property, governmental regulation, corporate reputation THE HISTORY OF ALIBABA In 1999, Jack Ma founded Alibaba Group. At the time, the company consisted of eighteen people. From its inception, Alibaba Group believed “the Internet would level the playing field by enabling small enterprises to leverage innovation and technology to grow and compete more effectively in the domestic and global economies.” With this conviction behind everything they do, Alibaba Group has become a global leader in mobile and online ecommerce. It all started with what is currently known as 1688.com. This website helped small Chinese manufacturers, exporters and entrepreneurs sell goods internationally. Now, Alibaba Group and its subsidiaries operate prominent wholesale and retail online marketplaces as well as a variety of internet- based services including advertising and marketing services, electronic payment, cloud-based computing, and mobile solutions to name a few. ECOMMERCE WEBSITES Taobao. Launched in May 2003, Taobao Marketplace has grown to be China’s largest shopping destination in terms of gross merchandise volume.

  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.

    SOLENT-THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT THE LOWER/MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC PERIOD Francis Wenban-Smith, with David Bridgland and Kate Cramp April 2010 (County contributions by Terry Hardaker, Robert Hosfield, Rebecca Loader, Barbara Silva, Keith Wilkinson; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) 1 INTRODUCTION This review of the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic resource in the Solent-Thames region considers the region as a whole, embracing the five county authorities of: Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Previous reviews ( Table 1 ) have given a detailed picture of the resource in each county. This synthesis combines this information to provide a more general overview of the nature, distribution, diversity and potential importance of the resource in the region. Table 1.

Following this, the current landscape of the Solent-Thames region is reviewed, focusing on topography, drainage and bedrock geology, but also considering the potential for paleoenvironmental and human remains ( Section 3 ); these contemporary landscape aspects are intimately related to the present survival and distribution of Pleistocene deposits, and the story they tell of climatic change and landscape development through the long period covered by the Lower/Middle Palaeolithic ( Section 4 ).
