The past three months we have had extremely good weather and a lot of things have been happening which has made time go by very quickly. By the time you receive this newsletter, winter will have arrived and you will have time to read it! Since the last newsletter, the Association was invited to attend the launch of a rewrite of a book written by an Australi- an author on Chinese ANZAC’s. He had omitted that there were also New Zealand ANZAC’s, so it was rewritten to include the New Zealand soldiers during World War One. Robert Ting attended on behalf of the Association. A day excursion to the Wairarapa was made in early March. It was well attended and those who went wanted the As- sociation to organise more trips like these. Many thanks to Virginia Ng and Peter Moon for their organisational skills to make the trip such a successful one. The Tung Jung Association is involved in the Ventnor project as some Jungsen men were exhumed from Wellington cemeteries to be loaded onto the Ventnor tom be re-buried to their ancestral villages. At Ching Ming in April, six mem- bers from Wellington travelled to Hokianga in the Far North with some Aucklanders to pay their respects to those lost souls who never reached their homeland. The trip was inspirational and quite moving as the area was very remote. It is planned to have the media and dignitaries invited to the launching of the Ventnor Trail being renamed as Wander- ing with the Ancestors. This will also be listed as a tourist attraction alongside the famous Tane Mahuta, the world’s biggest kauri tree, approximately 2000 years old, in the Waipoua Forest. I was invited as part of a delegation to represent the Chinese community at a wreath laying ceremony on Anzac Day at the Wellington Cenotaph in honour of the Chinese servicemen who represented New Zealand in the First and Second World Wars. One of our members, Helene Wong, has written a book about being a Chinese in New Zealand society. She recounts her early experiences and finding her identity which many younger members can relate to Her book, called Being Chinese, is available at all leading booksellers. This year, our annual mid-winter yum cha lunch will be held on Wednesday 15th June at the Dragon’s Restaurant in Tory Street. This is an opportunity for those members who do not like going out at night to meet with their peers. If you wish to attend, please register with any committee member This year is the 90th anniversary of the Tung Jung Association being an incorporated society. We are having a dinner at the Grand Century Restaurant in Tory Street on Saturday 16th July to celebrate the occasion. As we are expecting many members throughout New Zealand to attend this special occasion, you are advised to register with us to avoid disappointment as the restaurant can only hold so many people. The Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday 14th August. I am hoping that this year more members will attend and elect a new president as I am past my “used by “ date! The future of the Association depends on its members and if you want it to be here for future generations, then please attend the AGM.. Please keep sending in those articles to share with members. Stories of your travels, history, or if you are talented , as some of us are, in some kind of craft, art, hobby, cooking or gardening and wish to pass on your talents to others, please let us know as the Association can help, as we have the rooms for you to use. I look forward to seeing many of you at the 90th celebrations, so keep in good health during the coming cold weather so you can attend.

On Tuesday 8 March, a trip to Carterton was organised by Virginia Ng and Peter Moon. The day trip was to visit Paua World, Stonehenge Aotearoa, Parkvale Mushroom farm and a stop in Greytown on the way back with lunch at Gladstone Inn. It was a cool overcast day with light rain when the 45 seater bus left the number 9 plat- form at the Wellington Railway Station at 8.30 in the morning. Just before 9 am, the bus made a stop at the Petone railway station to pick up more people and then it was on to Carterton. It was raining when we left Wellington but the weather cleared up and the sun shone when we arrived. The first stop was Paua World and we got there just after 10 am. The out of towners in the group enjoyed browsing at all the different items on display and many bought souvenirs to take home. After spending about 45 minutes there, it was on to Stonehenge Aotearoa, which is situated off the main highway down a country road in the backblocks of Carterton. On arriving there, we were told that it was normally closed to the public on a Tuesday, but since we made a party booking, they opened for us. Driving down a narrow lane, we could see a large stone circle on the flat in the distance. We were all shepherded into a lecture room where the very informed guide gave us a talk on the rudiments of astronomy and astrology which related to the original Stonehenge in Salisbury, England. Armed with this knowledge, we later pro- ceeded outside to view the Stone circle which was a complete replica of the one in Eng- land but made of modern materials. The guide explained on how the sun and stars all lined up over different aspects of the stone circumference so that one can determine the time of the year and the direction to find your way if you get lost. After spending about an hour and a half at Stonehenge, we then went to the Gladstone Inn for lunch. Gladstone is a small place out in the backblocks of Carterton and the Glad- stone Inn seem to be the meeting place of all the locals. A special lunch was prepared for us and we all sat at tables outside under a verandah to have our lunch. It was so re- laxing and peaceful there that no one wanted to leave but we had to move on to the Parkvale mushroom farm. Parkvale Mushrooms specialise in growing the brown flat mushrooms only. They do not grow the white buttons. The owner showed us around the sheds where the mushrooms were growing in various stages before being picked by hand. Many of us bought trays of these beautiful mushrooms to take home. On the way back to Wellington, we decided to stop at an orchard which had a sign on the main street saying they had Omega plums and greengages for sale. The orchard was Murphy’s Orchard, a well-known stone fruit orchardist to many fruiterers. It was getting towards the end of the season for their stone fruit and their Omega plums were of the highest quality. Many of us bought some as well as their French greengages which are not as sweet as the English variety. Then we all got back onto the bus to take us back to dreary Wellington! Those who went, all enjoyed the trip and want- ed us to have some more similar excursions.

  • Chapter 01 1
    Chapter 01 1. Introduction McDonald's is one of the best-known brands worldwide. This case study shows how McDonald's continually aims to build its brand by listening to its customers. It also identifies the various stages in the marketing process. Branding develops a personality for an organization, product or service. The brand image represents how consumers view the organization. Branding only works when an organization behaves and presents itself in a consistent way. Marketing communication methods, such as advertising and promotion, are used to create the colors, designs and images, which give the brand its recognizable face. At McDonald's this is represented by its familiar logo - the Golden Arches. Marketing involves identifying customer needs and requirements, and meeting these needs in a better way than competitors. In this way a company creates loyal customers. The starting point is to find out who potential customers are - not everyone will want what McDonald's has to offer. The people McDonald's identifies as likely customers are known as key audiences. McDonald’s has come up with advertising campaigns to help combat the dropping sales such as its New Taste Menu, and this was geared toward the healthier consumer. The message was that the company was tasty and nutritious, friendly folks and fun could be found at McDonald’s. 1.1 Problem Statement McDonald’s has been forced to contend with a number of potential obstacles to growth in recent years, most notably stark criticism and a less-than-favorable global economic climate that has seen consumers reduce their discretionary spending.

  • Armed Communities and Military Resources in Late Medieval China (880-936) Maddalena Barenghi Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
    e-ISSN 2385-3042 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 57 – Giugno 2021 North of Dai: Armed Communities and Military Resources in Late Medieval China (880-936) Maddalena Barenghi Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia Abstract This article discusses various aspects of the formation of the Shatuo as a complex constitutional process from armed mercenary community to state found- ers in the waning years of Tang rule and the early tenth century period (880-936). The work focuses on the territorial, economic, and military aspects of the process, such as the strategies to secure control over resources and the constitution of elite privileges through symbolic kinship ties. Even as the region north of the Yanmen Pass (Daibei) remained an important pool of recruits for the Shatuo well into the tenth century, the Shatuo leaders struggled to secure control of their core manpower, progressively moving away from their military base of support, or losing it to their competitors. Keywords Shatuo. Tang-Song transition. Frontier clients. Daibei. Khitan-led Liao.

Every single day, Maia is tasked with ensuring that every cog in the machine that is RMHC New Zealand’s Auckland facilities is turning smoothly. Some days, she sorts last minute maintenance issues. Others, she lends a kind ear to families who’ve had a tough day on the ward. Her role is a constant juggle with a simple mission in mind: providing much needed accommodation and support to the hundreds of people in her care. Maia’s COVID-19 story is special. During levels 3 & 4, she chose to self-isolate from her family - as her son has compromised immunity. Maia put her own comfort and care aside to ensure that vulnerable families with a child in a hospital away from home were cared for and protected throughout the Frontline worker Maia and her family lockdown period. The view from the inside... Over the past few months, we’ve had to restrict our common areas, including our shared kitchens, cancel supermarket outings, as well as volunteer cook nights. Because of this, RMHC New Zealand families Our lovely staff and volunteers keeping our Ronald following have predominantly facilities clean and families fed safety procedures been housed at off- site, self-contained, and delivering groceries to families with their own accommodation and we’ve had to completely change kitchens, so all House families could stay safe in their our foodservice model.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE VALIDITY OF ODD PRICING A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Studies at Massey University Judith L Holdershaw 1995 ABSTRACT Odd pricing refers to the practice of pricing goods just below the nearest round figure, for example, $9.99 instead of $10.00, or $1,995 instead of $2,000. to produce higher than expected demand at the price level concerned. Although the practice of odd pricing is prevalent in retailing, there is a lack of empirical evidence to verify the effectiveness of odd pricing as a strategy to increase demand. This thesis reports the findings of a study designed to test the assumption that odd pricing produces higher than expected demand resulting in a "kinked" demand curve. That is, a demand curve which is inconsistent with the traditional law of demand. Purchase probabilities, used to measure estimated demand for six household products at four price levels, were obtained from a sample of 300 consumers. For each product. showcards featuring two prices, one slightly above an even price point and one slightly belo~ the same price point. were presented to all 300 consumers. These prices served the purpose of creating top and bottom "anchor" points of the demand curve for the product concerned. The sample was further divided into three subsarnples of 100 consumers who each viewed either an appropriate even or odd "test" price.

  • The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People's Republic of China
    The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Xin Liu, Chair Professor Vincanne Adams Professor Alexei Yurchak Professor Michael Nylan Professor Shannon Jackson Spring 2011 Abstract The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Xin Liu, Chair Under state socialism in the People’s Republic of China, dancers’ bodies became important sites for the ongoing negotiation of two paradoxes at the heart of the socialist project, both in China and globally. The first is the valorization of physical labor as a path to positive social reform and personal enlightenment. The second is a dialectical approach to epistemology, in which world-knowing is connected to world-making. In both cases, dancers in China found themselves, their bodies, and their work at the center of conflicting ideals, often in which the state upheld, through its policies and standards, what seemed to be conflicting points of view and directions of action. Since they occupy the unusual position of being cultural workers who labor with their bodies, dancers were successively the heroes and the victims in an ever unresolved national debate over the value of mental versus physical labor.
