Food Nation 美食天堂

AMBROSIA 客道 : The Magazine of The International Culinary Institute

Hong Kong derives its name from a Cantonese expression 香港, which means "fragrant harbour". Scholars attribute the name to incense factories that stored merchandise in Aberdeen warehouses in the 19th century, but these days it's the scent of cooking that fills the air with sweet aromas as a wave of new restaurants open their doors. As Daniel Jeffreys reports, the city's vibrant culinary scene has made its appetite for skilled labour almost insatiable.

英文"Hong Kong"得自於「香港」的粵語諧音，「香港」意指「芳香之港」。根據學者研究，在19世紀之時，石排灣港口﹝今香港仔一帶﹞因運銷香樹製品馳名遠近，享有「香港」之美譽，其後整座島嶼亦因此得名。時至今日，隨著眾多新餐廳的次第開張，令香港飄香四溢、享譽全球的已不再是香料，而是各種美味佳餚。而這座城市蓬勃發展的飲食業，亦對訓練有素的專業人員求才若渴。

Pair Game 天作之合

To combine wine and food with finesse is a skill that can take decades to acquire. Master of wine Debra Meiburg teaches some of Hong Kong's most popular oenophile workshops and knows a few helpful shortcuts. But as Daniel Jeffreys discovered, even she finds it challenging to choose a good dining partner for Sauternes, one of the most complex and perplexing creations of viticulture.

將美食與美酒完美結合，達至和諧相容，是門高深的技巧，即使花上數十年來鑽研，亦不為過。葡萄酒大師Debra Meiburg深諳此道，她在香港舉辦了一系列品酒工作坊，深受愛酒人士的青睞。不過，即便是對她而言，要為秉性奇特、口感複雜的梭甸甜酒(Sauternes)找到相襯的菜餚也絕非易事。

Housing In Nonmetropolitan Nebraska: Perceptions Of Supply And Condition: 2016 Nebraska Rural Poll Results, Rebecca J. Vogt, Cheryl A. Burkhart-Kriesel, Randolph L. Cantrell, Bradley Lubben, L. J. Mcelravy

Rural Futures Institute: Publications

Conclusion

Most rural Nebraskans own their home. And, when asked about housing programs or priorities they would support in their community, most rural Nebraskans support programs that help seniors age in their homes, programs that would help upgrade the condition of existing homes and providing affordable rental housing. They are less likely to support organizing volunteer efforts to maintain existing housing stock, but still one-half support this option as well.

Support for one of the programs differs by community size. Persons living in or near larger communities are more likely than persons living in or near smaller communities to support …

Demand Imbalance: How Acute Demand Changes Impact Salesperson Performance, Ricky J. Fergurson

HCBE Faculty Presentations

Previous literature has examined customer demandingness as it relates to salesperson performance. Salespeople are subjected to not only customer demands but company demands as well. These demand shifts leave the salesperson feeling as though they have to be in two places at one time. The internal conflict creates stress and impacts salesperson performance. Developing an understanding of how these acute demand changes influence salesperson performance expands the scope of current literature as well as offering managerial insights into how to minimize demand imbalance. This study begins to develop a demand intensity scale as well as examining the effect of demand …

Customer Retention: Reducing Online Casino Player Churn Through The Application Of Predictive Modeling, Eunju Suh, Matt Alhaery

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

With the potential expansion of legalized online gaming in the United States as well as in the global market, customer retention is critical to the continued growth and success of an online casino. While customer churn prediction can be an essential part of customer retention efforts, it has received very little attention in the gaming literature. Using historical online gaming data, this study examines whether player churn (attrition) can be predicted through an application of a decision tree data mining algorithm called Exhaustive CHAID (E-CHAID). The results of this empirical study suggest that the predictive model based on the E-CHAID …
