Eng Vice President Store Manager Macy's East Flushing Branch We applaud John for this commitment and dedication to giving back and reaching out to the communities where we do business and our employees' lives. Message from AABDC I wish to extend my congratulations to the recipients of the 2008 "Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business" award and the "Pinnacle Award" for their accomplishments and contributions to help power the engine of the economy. I also want to express my grati- tude to our corporate sponsors and many individuals for their unfailing support to make this event possible. Especially in this uncertain economic climate,Asian American entrepreneurship has become synonymous with resource for community development and economic revitaliza- tion in our neighborhoods.Through ingenuity, entrepreneur drive and sheer hard work, Asian Americans have not only successfully created numerous ethnically based economies throughout the country, but also have established themselves in a number of important John Wang industries. President On the global scale,Asian American executives with their multicultural background and entrepreneurial talents are key to helping American corporations stay competitive in the AABDC world market. Global corporations can leverage their Asian American professionals within their ranks to enhance business in Asia and broaden its own appeal as global leader. Since the inception of this project in 2001,AABDC has dedicated its efforts to promote and strengthen the voice and role of Asian Americans in the mainstream marketplace, and to highlight their achievements and contributions to the general economy.Tonight's hon- orees represent a microcosm of the best of Asian American entrepreneurship with a pool of diverse and multi-talented individuals engaged in a wide range of business interests.The depth and breadth of their business undertakings clearly demonstrate that Asian Americans are an integral part of the larger economy. I am grateful for the participation and presence of this group of outstanding individuals in tonight's event. Sincerely yours John Wang President,AABDC Keynote Speaker Son of a public school teacher, born and raised in Brooklyn, and now a Queens resident,Anthony Weiner knows the challenges most families face, and has worked hard to make sure that all New Yorkers get their chance at a better life. In his years in the City Council,Weiner has gained a reputation as a thoughtful fighter for New York's neighborhoods. He initiated programs to tackle quality of life concerns, and spearheaded development plans for his- toric Sheepshead Bay that led to a revival of the area.And when super- Anthony D. Weiner markets began leaving the neighborhood,Weiner worked night and day to Congressman reverse the trend. He also won much recognition for his efforts as the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Public Housing, where on behalf of New York's most underserved and underrepresented citizens, he fought to increase federal funding for Public Housing, and on numerous occasions succeeded on a city-wide level in making public housing safer. Elected to congress in 1998,Weiner became a congressman for the dis- trict that includes Brooklyn and Queens. He currently sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has the largest jurisdiction in the U.S. House; overseeing telecommunications, public health, air quality and envi- ronmental protection, the nation’s energy policy, and interstate and foreign commerce. He also serves on the Judiciary Committee and as a part of the Democratic leadership team. Weiner's efforts have brought millions of dollars home to New York City to restore our city's parks and beaches, to improve the collection of DNA to solve crimes against women, to fund programs for the developmentally disabled, to fund for additional police officers, to improve pedestrian safe- ty, to bring ferry transportation to more New Yorkers, and to even clean graffiti.

  • Chinese Buyers Trickle Into NYC
    Chinese buyers trickle into NYC Now added to the long list of exports from China are buyers of New York City real estate. Chinese residents flush with cash from the Asian nation's booming economy, and in some cases limited in what they can buy at home, are starting to look at Manhattan apartments. Between March 2010 and March 2011, 9 percent of foreign buyers in the U.S. were from China, according to the National Association of Realtors, up from 5 percent in 2007. Canada sends the U.S. the most foreign buyers, with 23 percent, but China is number two, the data shows. In contrast, England, Mexico and India, next on the list, each represent 7 percent. And many of those Chinese buyers are trickling into New York, say brokers, who are creating customized services to greet them. "They come, they look, they find, they sign, they go," said Asher Alcobi, president of Peter Ashe Real Estate, a firm that is representing about a half-dozen Chinese buyers, up from two of them five years ago. And that uptick has largely happened this year, after the Chinese government issued restrictions about buying vacation homes in that country, Alcobi said. But there may be simpler drivers, too. A Chinese couple recently bought a condo in Trump Soho New York -- a high-rise from a developer whose brand is well-liked in many parts of Asia, Alcobi explained -- because they wanted to be close to their son, who is a sophomore at Boston University. The unit, which will be used for two-week stays, cost about $1 million, he added.

    Milestone becomes first leasing customer for multi-mission H160 @AirbusHeli @GECAS #H160ReasonsWhy Dublin, 5 October 2020 – Milestone Aviation and Airbus Helicopters have agreed to include six H160s in Milestone’s orderbook. The helicopters will be destined for a range of missions including offshore transportation and emergency medical services, the first of which is set to deliver in 2023. “Today’s announcement will see us enhance our orderbook to include the H160 which we believe will be an important player in the market in the years ahead. It is a versatile, multi- mission aircraft with the opportunity to be used in a number of scenarios, particularly serving EMS operations. It will be a valuable addition to our fleet and we’re already in discussion with operators to place the aircraft into service as soon as they are available,” said Pat Sheedy, CEO of Milestone. “We are proud that a longstanding customer such as Milestone is renewing its trust once again in Airbus helicopters. I am convinced that the level of innovation that the H160 brings to the market, whether it is passenger comfort, advanced pilot assistance, or its competiveness thanks to its increased fuel efficiency and simplified maintenance eco- system, combined with its inherent flexibility will make it a valuable asset to their operations,” said Bruno Even, Airbus Helicopters CEO. With 68 patents, the H160 integrates Airbus Helicopters’ latest technological innovations aimed at providing passengers with superior comfort thanks to the sound-reducing Blue Edge blades and superb external visibility for both passengers and pilots, not to mention the additional safety features provided by Helionix’s accrued pilot assistance features.

  • Site Suitability Analysis for a New Franchise India Palace Restaurant in Minneapolis and St
    Site Suitability Analysis for a New Franchise India Palace Restaurant in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Combining GIS Technologies and the Huff Gravity Model Ritu Shrestha Department of Resource Analysis, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55404 Keywords: Geographic Information System (GIS), Franchising, Huff Gravity Model, Site Selection, Site Suitability, Geodemographic, India Palace Restaurant, Google Earth Pro, Pythagorean Theorem, Python, ArcMap Abstract The main objective of this study is to determine a new franchise location in the Twin Cities, Minnesota metropolitan area considering the critical factors that affect restaurant success. It is difficult to select the best-suited location to open a new restaurant. Deciding a suitable spot is the most important task for any business owner because it determines the future of the business, i.e. if it can make a profit. A geographic information system (GIS) is one of the most powerful tools currently utilized to assist in the selection of suitable locations. To conduct analysis, demographic information was obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau for the year 2010. Various analyses were conducted through GIS methods and the Huff Gravity model to determine attractiveness and market potential of trade areas. With the help of software and modern techniques, a suitable location was determined. Some discrepancies were observed between existing locations and areas deemed suitable. This may be due to factors unaccounted for this study such as environment, neighborhood, socio-economic conditions, quality and quantity of food, convenience and visibility. Having a broad understanding of site selection, combined with excellence in execution, is a winning combination for opening a new franchise location.

  • General Electric Partners with Leading Investors to Transform Gecis, Its Global Business Processing Operation, Into an Independent Company
    General Electric Partners With Leading Investors To Transform Gecis, its Global Business Processing Operation, into an Independent Company Move Will Enable Gecis to Pursue Global Demand for BPO Services Fairfield, Conn. (November 8, 2004) – General Electric today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with two leading private-investment firms, General Atlantic Partners and Oak Hill Capital Partners, under which the firms will acquire a majority interest in GE Capital International Services (Gecis), GE’s global business- processing operation. Gecis already is one of the largest shared-service providers in the world, employing more than 17,000 professional staff. As a recapitalized, independent company, Gecis will be well positioned to offer its high-quality business-processing services to companies in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, where it already has operations. Gecis will continue to serve GE under a multiyear contract, and Pramod Bhasin will remain as president and chief executive officer, supported by the current Gecis global management team. Approximately 1,000 Gecis employees will remain with GE. The transaction, subject to customary approvals, values Gecis at $800 million. Upon closing, GE will retain a 40 percent stake in Gecis and receive cash proceeds of approximately $500 million, which it plans to use to fund growth initiatives. The parties aim to complete the transaction some time in the next six months. “This transaction allows us to offer our quality business-process services to an expanding roster of leading companies worldwide,” Bhasin said in making today’s announcement. “With accelerated growth, Gecis will provide expanded opportunities for employees and increased value for shareholders.
