  • 'AZ of Entertainment' for Families at Home This Easter
    Merlin Entertainments create an ‘A-Z of entertainment’ for families at home this Easter The doors to many of their attractions may be temporarily closed but Merlin teams from all over the world have been working hard to bring a touch of ‘Merlin Magic’ to families at home. 09 April 2020: Merlin Entertainments (“Merlin”), a global leader in location-based entertainment, has created an A-Z of activities and entertainment for families in lockdown this Easter with a range of videos, educational packs and live Facebook streaming all taking place. With many of their attractions and resorts temporarily closed, Merlin staff who are working from home, caring for animals or looking after critical maintenance have pulled together to help build a range of fun activities and videos to entertain families over the Easter holiday period. Activities range from a special ‘History Unlocked’ series at 1000-year old Warwick Castle, live LEGO build lessons from the Master Model Builders at LEGOLAND Parks and LEGOLAND Discovery Centres, live feeding and Q&A’s with a range of SEA LIFE Aquarists from around the world, a five-minute masterclass on how to build a theme park and even a live feed from the Beluga care team working in the world’s first Whale Sanctuary in Iceland. Mark Fisher, Chief Development Officer at Merlin Entertainments said: “Merlin’s DNA is about delivering fun and entertainment to families. Just because, sadly, the physical doors to our attractions are shut this will not stop us from offering families amazing, memorable experiences. Only this Easter, we are finding creative ways to deliver that fun and learning in the comfort of their own front rooms!” Fisher continues “Our Making Magic with Merlin content has a dedicated YouTube and Facebook page which enables families to see a huge variety of content from across our resorts and attractions around the world.

  • Abstract: the Purpose of This Paper Is to Investigate
    THE ECONOMIC COST OF NUCLEAR THREATS: A NORTH KOREA CASE STUDY. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how public announcements of a nation’s nuclear programme development influence neighbouring countries’ stock markets. The countries examined in this case study are North and South Korea. To test this relationship I conducted an event study using MacKinlay’s market model. Six announcement days were studied comprising out of three nuclear tests and three missile and satellite related tests. The findings of this research are in contrast to prior research. Empirical researches on the economic effects of terrorism suggest that acts of terrorism create large impacts on economic activity. The results of our event study show that the announcements caused both negative and positive reactions on the market. Author: Ryan McKee Student number: 6181066 Supervisor: Shivesh Changoer Date: 8th of Jan, 2014 ETCS: 12 INTRODUCTION Stock prices represent investor’s expectations about the future. News announcements effect these expectations on a day to day basis. Terrorist attacks, military invasions, nuclear threats or any other ambivalent events can alter investor’s expectations and so allow the prices of stocks and bonds to deviate from their fundamental value. Once such events have taken place investors often defer from the market in search of safer, more secure financial investments which can lead to panic and chaos on the markets (Chen and Siems, 2004). Such chaos can also be caused by threats from other neighbouring countries. A perfect example of this is the relationship between North and South Korea. Ever since the division of North and South Korea on September 8, 1945 the two bordering nations have had a strenuous relationship, ultimately leading to the Korean war of 1950-1953.
