Cardiff Bay Redevelopment Investigation
Cardiff is a city steeped in history and has undergone many changes
and influences over 1500 years; initially with the settlements of the
Celts in 500BC, and over many years Cardiff became a Roman Fort and
Norman stronghold. In 1810 Cardiff was just a growing village of less
than 2000 inhabitants surrounded by heavily tidal marshland and fed by
two rivers, the Taff and the Ely. Laying closely to the south was
Butetown, located in the Parish of Saint Mary's. Back then, Cardiff's
main industry was the mining and transportation of coal, mainly by big
25 tonne load barges.
As the Industrial Revolution swept over the British Isles, demand for
coal grew considerably. The Glamorganshire canal, which was built in
1794 to transport iron from the Merthyr ironworks to Cardiff, could
not cope with the strain and as the iron and coal industry expanded
the Taff Vale Railway was opened in 1840 to offer an alternative mode
of transport for this and to connect the Cardiff and surrounding
steelworks to the coal.
By this time John Crichton Stewart the 2nd Marquis of Bute had
finished his development of the bay and had just opened the West
docks. The building of docks continued untill around 1907 when the
last dock, the Queen Alexandra had been built adding to the previous
four. The opening of the West Docks gave Cardiff an advantage over
other Welsh ports and soon coal from the nearby South Wales Coalfield
was being used and exported along with iron and steel, whilst various
products including oils and tin were imported. The city prospered,
industry exploded and unemployment was rare.

workers for residence in its homes. I also think that there would be a
large market for residential areas for more of these and those who are
on a slightly lower income also. There are the perfect facilities
surrounding them which would attract a lot of people. Countering this,
land prices may be too expensive to enable this and so the lower
income housing may not be able to be put in to plan.
Maybe as an extra income window, some of the sites that gave Butetown
and Tiger Bay its history could be opened up or re-constructed as
another tourist attraction. The old docks and way of life could be
depicted, and the novelty of having so much historical activity in a
small community can be used through a tour of the bay where people can
make a direct link to the past as these were the actual scenes of
events.
Most of the suburbs were built as small communities with strip malls. This meant that all families had to have at least one car if not two for a second job. Families with a two-income household had it much easier than those with one. This caused an explosion of the middle ...
The suburb of Pyrmont on the shores of Sydney Harbour has been transformed by the processes of urban renewal into a thriving cosmopolitan residential area, an efficient and sophisticated business centre, and a popular recreational and tourist hub. Through my own observation of the Pyrmont area, I have seen how the painstaking urban planning efforts for the area have come to fruition, and a focal point of the Harbour foreshore created as a result of this.
In 1996, Captain Derrick Robinson, Sergeant Delmar Simpson, and Sergeant Nathanael Beech were arraigned for their suspected involvement in one of the biggest sex scandals the United States Military had seen. According to CNN, between these three men, charges of rape and adultery were pending in a huge case of sexual misconduct against female soldiers at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland (CNN, 2996). Following this incident, the United States Military took it upon themselves to open a telephone hotline to encourage the reporting of similar harsh crimes. Furthermore, the spike in reporting influenced extensive research to examine the prevalence of rape against women soldiers in the U.S. Military (Titunik, 2000). This paper will explore the dynamics of rape against women soldiers in the military and the research done on its prevalence.
Today, many of the family-owned resorts have been sold and transformed into timeshares, though ours has stayed in the same hands since the 1960s. Tourism still drives the economy, though a year-round vibe has begun to take hold in downtown Dennisport with many new shop openings and a new restaurant on seemingly every corner. Perhaps we're on the verge of another era in Dennisport's colorful history - join us and enjoy it!

A recession is where there is temporary economic deterioration which lasts longer than a few months, sometimes years. This can be seen by the employment rate decreasing and the reduction of trade and industry work. This is determined by the Gross Domestic Product (GPD) which is a government statistic which shows the total country’s economy movement. This is measured every 3 months (quarterly) and it is said that if after two consecutive quarters the GPD is down then the country is seen to be in recession. (Kollewe, 2009). The most recent recession in the UK kick-started in 2008, which was seen to be one of the worst recessions the UK has seen since the Great Depression. In July 2008 was when it became increasingly obvious that we was about to enter a recession; the unemployment rate kept rising, the housing industry started to cut thousands of jobs and the whole-sale industry was declining in production.

Catalina is a unique place since it has developed infrastructure and have resources to exploit that enable people to live in it. This unique characteristic attracts many people every year to enjoy different ranges of activities. Tourism is the only industry that Catalina has to the economy to fluctuate (“Visit Catalina Island.” 2014). Since the only income for Catalina Island has historically been tourism, the market has been exploited to be able to sustain the towns and enable further development. Both of the towns depend on tourism to survive, however this does not mean that they are similar. According to 2010 Census of Bureau the approximate population of Catalina was 4,096. Avalon had a population of 3,569 and the rest of the population is, Two Harbors and the Catalina Island Conservancy (337.37 km2), 527 (U.S. Census, 2011; “Visit Catalina Island,” 2014). As it can be observe, the amount of resident from each town is significantly different, and the major concentration is in Avalon. This points out that Avalon is a larger city not only demographically but also in population that may drive more people to visit.
...y including ghost tours, building lobster traps, nautical themed vacations, genealogical exploration, outdoor enthusiast packages, and much more. Lastly, I would have to say that Pictou needs to take some of the great signage they have throughout the town and use it to inform those of who have not driven the ten minutes off the highway. If they want to generate revenue through tourism without spending the money they don’t have, they need to make potential visitors aware of what they can offer them.

Have you ever moved to a unknown place where you have no idea what's coming to you where you don't know anything.Well some settlers from England and /or Europe wanted to go to a different land, location, or place. The word settle means to come to a place and stay there and start from the bottom and make a home, building, and place to make a living . The settlers came to the new world for many reason but geographic, resources, and disease made it difficult to settle so the settlers worked hard and get into fights with the natives but then the settler lived peacefully.
The Great Transformation From A Casino City To a Resort Destination Atlantic City is the place to gamble on the East Coast. Although this may initially seem to be a positive characteristic, it is evident that this destination has the capability to be so much more than it already is. This point of interest has the world’s first boardwalk, which opened in 1881, has 4 miles of hotels, amusements, and casinos. Atlantic City was originally a resort town, until 1978, when it changed into a gaming city. This popular day-trip destination had over 34 million visitors in 1998 alone. Despite this amazing statistic, along with the revenue that gambling brings in, many steps are being taken in order to further promote the expansion of this great city. The renovations and improvements being made to the Atlantic City Convention Center are already increasing the amount of money coming in. There is a great deal of other things to focus on in the Atlantic City region. In endorsing local attractions in this scenic area, and in shifting the target market of this spot, this city would change back into a resort destination. When most people think of Atlantic City, the first thing that comes to mind is the casino attractions that are available. With the city’s constant shuffle and excitement, gamblers from all over go there dreaming of a big win. Many people consider Atlantic City to be the “Las Vegas of the East Coast”. There are over 12 casinos, with one building as magnificent as the next. At any given second of the day, these hopefuls may have their lives changed in an instant with just one win. These casino hotels gain most of their income from gamblers. Casinos employ almost 49,000 people every year. This number should actually jump when the Marina District opens. Although Atlantic City prospers as a gambler’s paradise, many would love to show others just how much more Atlantic City really has to offer its tourists. The Atlantic City Convention Center, built in 1929, was renovated with $72 million in 1997. With the world’s largest pipe organ, everyone from the Beatles to Pavarotti has played there. It was designated a historic landmark in 1987. Conventions, trade shows, meetings, and public events of the greater Atlantic City area all take place here. When the renovation is finally completed, it will seat up to 12,000 people for special events.
In the fraction of comic time humans have existed, humanity has burned a trail of destructive impact on Earth. Humans have reached a point where environment manipulation is become more of a want than a need, and due to this fact other species on earth suffer. In the past one-hundred years, humanity has caused the extinction of hundreds of other species on earth, and humanity might just add its own name to the list as environments are violently manipulated. These changes to the environment is seen in Chesapeake Bay, where human activity has place the bay and the species living there is grave danger, and there must be an effort to halt further harm.
The museum I attended was the Getty Villa, located right off Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Designed by Robert E. Langdon, Jr and Ernest C. Wilson, Jr, the Getty Villa distinguishes itself as an amalgamation of Etruscan, Roman, Greek elements from the antiquity under oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty’s direction.
In a broad sense, corporate governance relates to the ways by which corporations and companies are directed and controlled. Therefore, the way corporate governance is done in certain companies can be crucial to the success or failure of the company as a whole. This is primarily due to the fact that proper corporate governance leads to better performance and directly monitors the company’s progress towards reaching its mission, and fulfilling its vision in the long run. Proper corporate governance is achieved through several steps. One of those steps is transparency, which is crucially needed in order for proper monitoring to occur, one of the bases of corporate governance. In
