  • Retail Innovations
    eyond every horizon, new horizons always rise B (Michael Ende) The crisis under way is accentuating the polarisation between the mass of operators on the one hand who are shy of innovating, and on the other those of a more daring and long-sighted nature who continue to allocate resources and ideas toward renewal, and even undertake restructuring and streamlining operations in parallel if necessary. Investing in innovative projects at the present juncture therefore represents an even greater opportunity. Confirming this is the wide range of projects we present in this year’s overview of retail innovations. Thanks to our partnership with the World Retail Congress, we have been entrusted with assessing the cases competing for the Retail Innovation Award and of selecting six finalists. Despite the recession, Retail new project ideas are being explored everywhere. (…) As always, time will determine which of these innovative strategies will enjoy enduring success. And though these projects all got off on the right foot, every retailer knows that success must be renewed each day. So, we wish the best of luck to those who (like ourselves) have found inspiration from their stores.

  • When I Open My Eyes, I'm Floating in the Air in an Inky, Black Void. the Air Feels Cold to the Touch, My Body Shivering As I Instinctively Hugged Myself
    When I open my eyes, I'm floating in the air in an inky, black void. The air feels cold to the touch, my body shivering as I instinctively hugged myself. My first thought was that this was an awfully vivid nightmare and that someone must have left the AC on overnight. I was more than a little alarmed when I wasn't quite waking up, and that pinching myself had about the same amount of pain as it would if I did it normally. A single star twinkled into existence in the empty void, far and away from reach. Then another. And another. Soon, the emptiness was full of shining stars, and I found myself staring in wonder. I had momentarily forgotten about the biting cold at this breath-taking sight before a wooden door slammed itself into my face, making me fall over and land on a tile ground. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. Also, OW. Standing up and not having much better to do, I opened the door. Inside was a room with several televisions stacked on top of each other, with a short figure wrapped in a blanket playing on an old NES while seven different games played out on the screen. They turned around and looked at me, blinking twice with a piece of pocky in their mouth. I stared at her. She stared back at me. Then she picked up a controller laying on the floor and offered it to me. "Want to play?" "So you've been here all alone?" I asked, staring at her in confusion, holding the controller as I sat nearby.

  • Mattel Recalls 2007
    Mattel Recalls 2007 Communication Implications for Quality Control, Outsourcing, and Consumer Relations [ABSTRACT] In August 2007, America's largest toy manufacturer announced the first of what would become five recalls involving 21 million toys—most of which were manufactured in China. This case study and teaching note examine a corporate response to a global crisis and consider the unique communications challenges facing a corporation that operates in an international, cross- cultural arena. The teaching note critiques the response’s suitability to the level and impact of the crisis and recommends alternatives. It illustrates that communicators should be cognizant of their international stakeholders and should proactively manage global issues of public concern such as outsourcing and product safety. An example would be that to avert future recalls, Mattel should work closely with its Chinese suppliers and government agencies to implement realistic quality control solutions for which it can be held accountable. The company must reassure stakeholders that outsourcing to China does not mean sacrificing quality. Regaining consumer confidence and controlling the dissemination of product safety information requires strong corporate communicators who can delicately and deliberately balance complex relationships.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

Einstein April 2016 © 2016 Sarah E. Einstein. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Person, Place, and Thing by SARAH E. EINSTEIN has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Dinty W. Moore Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EINSTEIN, SARAH E., Ph.D., April 2016, English Person, Place, and Thing Director of Dissertation: Dinty W. Moore The dissertation is divided into two sections: an essay titled “The Self-ish Genre: Questions of Authorial Selfhood and Ethics in Creative Nonfiction” and an essay collection titled, Person, Place, and Thing. “The Self-ish Genre: Questions of Authorial Selfhood and Ethics in Creative Nonfiction” engages with late modern and postmodern theories of selfhood in the service of moving towards an understanding of the ethical nature of the authorial character in the personal essay. I will position the authorial character within the framework of Paul Ricouer’s construction of the narrative self, identifying it as an artifact of the work of giving an account of oneself. I will consider how this artifact can be imagined to function inside a Levinasian ethics, and ask whether or not the authorial character can adequately serve as an “Other” with whom both the reader interacts in their own formations of self. Finally, I will turn to Judith Butler to suggest a way the ethical act of giving an account of oneself can be rescued from the postmodern disposition of the self.

  • HISTORY of TOYS: Timeline 4000 B.C - 1993 Iowa State University
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF TOYS By Tim Lambert Early Toys Before the 20th century children had few toys and those they did have were precious. Furthermore children did not have much time to play. Only a minority went to school but most children were expected to help their parents doing simple jobs around the house or in the fields. Egyptian children played similar games to the ones children play today. They also played with toys like dolls, toy soldiers, wooden animals, ball, marbles, spinning tops and knucklebones (which were thrown like dice). In Ancient Greece when boys were not at school and girls were not working they played ball games with inflated pig's bladders. They also played with knucklebones. Children also played with toys like spinning tops, dolls, model horses with wheels, hoops and rocking horses. Roman children played with wooden or clay dolls and hoops. They also played ball games and board games. They also played with animal knucklebones. Toys changed little through the centuries. In the 16th century children still played with wooden dolls. (They were called Bartholomew babies because they were sold at St Bartholomew's fair in London). They also played cup and ball (a wooden ball attached by string to the end of a handle with a wooden cup on the other end. You had to swing the handle and try and catch the ball in the cup). Modern Toys The industrial revolution allowed toys to be mass produced and they gradually became cheaper. John Spilsbury made the first jigsaw puzzle in 1767. He intended to teach geography by cutting maps into pieces but soon people began making jigsaws for entertainment.
