| | Burj Dubai set to influence generations of architects | | 2008-03-04 20:44:00 | | Burj Dubai set to influence generations of architects“…Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, will influence and inspire future generations of architects and engineers, said Mr Mohamed Ali Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties… Mr Mohamed Ali Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties said: 'When Burj Dubai was first planned, it was to be a 90-storey structure, but Sheikh Mohammed asked us, 'Why stop there?'' Alabbar said. 'As Dubai and its economy expand, as our achievements grow, we must constantly ask ourselves: 'Why stop there?' Sheikh Mohammed has inspired us to dare, to dream and to achieve what would once have been considered impossible. With Dubai playing a leading role, Alabbar said, the Middle East has the potential to reclaim its age-old role as a global source of scientific and engineering innovation, a fact underscored by the vastly sophisticated building rising from Dubai's desert sands. In every aspect of Burj Dubai, there is a new set of learning. No one has ever tr | | By: ChileSoc | | |

another amazing opportunity that shichi-go-san offers is to see three generations coming together as a family to celebrate this transition in age.
i have found that one of the largest differences between Japanese and American culture is the large number of family-oriented festivals and events in Japan-- events aimed at bringing the family together. as, traditionally, Japanese society has been extremely important, this is not very surprising; however, what does surprise me a little is the strong effect that modern times have had on the Japanese. as prices and living expenses have risen, more income has been necessary; consequently, many workers have moved to the large cities (like Tokyo and Osaka) to get the high-salary jobs. this has led to a surge in the number of commuter marriages: mom or dad lives in Tokyo; dad or mom and family live in a rural area. where families have decided to try and stick together, a commuting time of between 60 and 90 minutes (one-way) is often viewed as no | | By: Sorafoto - Photoblog from Japan | | |

| | Building a Brand So Sweet, it Lasts for Generations: The Story of See's Chocolates | | 2007-10-04 09:46:22 | | An inspiring business success story always gets the juices flowing as the reader feels the flow of success and wise decisions bringing them along for the ride. Combine the rush of a good story with a story about chocolate and you have an irresistible combination.It all began with the matriarchal figure of Mary See. Mary's recipes for chocolates and candies built the See's Candy Empire that has wooed America since 1921. See's Candies uses the finest quality ingredients and always has. That is one of the secrets to their success. Even during the Depression, they didn't cut corners. Their customers can always count on a quality candy and that is why their customers keep coming back. Does your customer have the same, quality experience over and over again?The See Candy story is a classic American success story. They were descendents of Ireland, whose family immigrated to Ontario. Mary's son, Charles, was working as a salesman, selling ingredients in bulk to bakeries. There was a popular candy shop chain in Ontario and Charles felt that he could create something better. He and his family, including his mother Mary and her meticulous and loved candy recipes, moved to Los Angeles to open their own store.It was popular in the 1920's to brand food products with a "trust-worthy, mother or grandmother" image. In 1921, the company that later became General Mills, created Betty Crocker, a fictitious woman who, in 1945, was voted the second most popular woman in America (behind Eleanor Roosevelt).* Charles went along with this trend, using his mother's photograph as the logo for See's Candy. This tribute not only reminded Charles and the employees where their great recipes came from, it also instilled the "warm fuzzy feeling" one has when we think of a gray-haired, plump woman's baking. We trust that it must be delicious. The logo and its emotional assurance and ability to generate fond memories of grandma's baking in some of us, is just one example of the cleverness Ch | | By: Famiss - Women's Success Literature & History | | |
