UMA News Bulletin Fall Issue 2016 Page 9 of 32 UMA Scholarship Recipient for 2016 Dawson d'Almeida My family has, without a doubt, been the largest influence on me, both on a personal and academic level. From the moment of my birth Virginia and Carlos d’Almeida, or better known by me Nana and Papa, were there beside me. They supported my choices, encouraged my growth, developed my character and were there for me through thick and thin. I learned perseverance from Papa, as despite his long term leg injury, he chased me around the house and pushed through all of the physical activities that I forced upon him. From Nana I attained a thoughtful personality. I wouldn’t push haphazardly into any situation, but consider outcomes and be logical. And above all else, they taught me to be kind and selfless. Never have I met other people who would be so willing to go out of their way to support someone else, whether family or friend. I am so grateful to have understood at a young age what it truly meant to be compassionate. As for my sister, father and mother, I owe all of my success, happiness and wellbeing to them. I have never had a better supporter than my mom and dad or a better friend and role model than my sister. As I move to the next step in my life, I know that I will never be alone. As for me, I am excited to move on to bigger and better things, pursue my interests and challenge my beliefs in a new environment. Besides being an academic, I have a passion for creating and playing music, both electronically and on my clarinet. I spent my previous three years in Vienna, Austria, the classical music capital of the world, where I attended a school with a passion for music. There my interest in clarinet grew into passion and talent. From this I also met a very important person in my life, a friend and instructor, Norbert Amon. Not only did he bestow upon me some clarinet prowess, but he also taught me to calm down and not to stress too much over life’s problems. Although it is incredibly difficult to be a professional musician, he found time to not only teach me the clarinet but also help me grow as a person. Additionally, I worked in a sound studio with Ingo Sanders, where I expanded my love for music to production and mixing. I became very close to him as well, finding myself spending many hours discussing other things such as sports, health and the universe. Music has taught me many things, but most importantly it has shown me how it can bring people of different cultures, ages, and ideologies together. I will bring my musical passion to Carleton College, my future home for my next four years, but I am excited for many other things as well. I am restless in anticipation of meeting many other young people who will intrigue and compel me to greater things. I am also excited to challenge myself academically. I plan on majoring in either Computer Science or Astrophysics. Luckily I have two years to decide which subject suits me best, because of its liberal arts ideology. Furthermore, this will allow me to better my critical thinking skills and provide me a well-rounded education. Although still a long way off, I do contemplate my goal for a career and for my life overall. I have had many dreams, starting as a house builder to an astronomer to an engineer and now a potential physicist or computer scientist. I hope my profession will interest me and bring joy to my life. With my potentially changing interests, however, I may perhaps go into engineering or mathematical analysis. But I have always had one goal driving me and that is to make the world a better place, regardless of the size of my contribution. And I thank you for helping me get started on my dream. UMA News Bulletin Fall Issue 2016 Page 10 of 32 Rosario Scholarship Recipient for 2016 Angelica Monesi I am very honored to receive the Rosario Scholarship for 2016. It will help me with my future endeavors as a UC San Diego Triton. This fall will be very exciting as I move away to San Diego to embark on a new journey and begin to focus on my academic major global studies. I am hoping to learn and master new languages as well as become cultured in various types of societies. Traveling is one of my favorite activities and my major will allow me the pleasure of pursuing this interest further into the future. I love exploring new places and experiencing the difference in culture when I am in a foreign nation. One of my major goals is to study abroad in multiple countries; I hope to study in three different countries during college. Having my grandparents, Eduardo and Pauline de Assis, as UMA members has contributed in showing me the importance of family heritage. I hope to learn more about my Portuguese roots and my Italian ancestry. I am very grateful to be blessed with such a loving and caring family. I could not have made it this far without the support of my parents and grandparents. They have all helped me through the stressful times of life and celebrated with me during the exciting moments. It really is a blessing to have a family that cares so much and I feel confident and secure knowing that I have so much support as I prepare for college.

  • Not Just Another Crapshoot Development: the Challenges and Opportunities of Modelling After Las Vegas and Macao As an Econo
    Khiatani Bandung J of Global South (2015) 1:8 DOI 10.1186/s40728-015-0024-8 RESEARCH Open Access Not just another crapshoot development: the challenges and opportunities of modelling after Las Vegas and Macao as an economic development strategy in the 21st century Paul Vinod Khiatani* *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Department of Applied Recent decades highlight an extraordinary growth of casino gambling all over the Social Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, 83 world. In the race to build casino-cities, particularly to reap economic and social Tat Chee Ave, Kowloon, Hong benefits, most aspirers look to replicate the development models of the most famous Kong casino-cities known to date, Las Vegas and Macao. Countries that have modelled after the aforementioned casino-cities have had mix results of success; e.g., Singapore, which followed Macao, yielded considerable success, while other states of the US which modelled Las Vegas, such as Atlantic City, did not have as much luck. In this respect, the countries adhere to the words of the wise; “Standing on the shoulders of the giants”. Yet, perhaps explaining why no country can really replicate the successful development experiences of Las Vegas and Macao, most countries fail to see beyond the glitz and glamor to recognize the key challenges and opportunities that helped make Las Vegas and Macao; e.g., with respect to the presence of domestic organized crime groups. This paper delves deep into identifying the key actors and circumstances that made the aforementioned cities what they are today, elucidating the integral development strategies used during their formative years.

Known as the King of Gambling, Ho dominated gaming in the former Portuguese colony after winning a monopoly license in 1961. His SJM Holdings Ltd. flourished as China’s economic opening created a flood of new wealth in a country with a passion for gambling. SJM now controls 20 casinos on an island of about 10 square miles. “Our four families stand united in our grief and respect for his legendary accomplishments, everything he has done in life for Hong Kong, with Hong Kong, Macau and all his charitable donations,” one of his daughters said outside Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-26/stanley-ho-king-of-gambling-who-built-macau-dies-at-98 1/5 5/27/2020 Stanley Ho, ‘King of Gambling’ Who Built Macau, Dies at 98 - Bloomberg SJM shares rallied as investors were optimistic that the four branches of Ho’s descendants -- he had 17 children with four women -- have a plan in place following a 2019 alliance, despite earlier feuding.

  • A Case Study of Macau, China
    © 2002 WIT Press, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, SO40 7AA, UK. All rights reserved. Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: The Sustainable City II, CA Brebbia, JF Martin-Duque & LC Wadhwa (Editors). ISBN 1-85312-917-8 Urban regeneration and the sustainability of colonial built heritage: a case study of Macau, China L Chaplain School of Language and Translation, Macau Polytechnic Institute, China Abstract This paper presents a case study of late twentieth century urban regeneration in the former Portuguese colonial territory of Macau – now designated as a Special Administrative Region of China (Macau SAR). Regeneration in this context is defined and discussed here under the headings: regeneration through reclamation; regeneration through infi-astructure investment; regeneration through preserva- tion. The new Macau SAR Government continues to differentiate Macau fi-om its neighbors by promoting the legacy of a tourist-historic city with a unique archi- tectural fhsion of both West and East as an integral feature of the destination’s marketing strategy. However, regeneration of urban space through reclamation has led to a proliferation of high rise buildings with arguable architectural merit which diminish the appeal of the overwhelmed heritage properties and sites. Future plans for the development of the territory are outlined, including major projects designed to enhance the tourism product through purpose-built leisure and entertainment facilities. 1 Introduction The urban regeneration of the City of Macau can be attributed to significant developments which occurred in the last century of its four hundred years of exis- tence as a Portuguese occupied territory located in China’s southern province of Guangdong – formerly known as Canton.
