    Disappointment marked his life since his childhood and consistent failure in his earlier life led him to become a cruel ruler. Adolf Hitler was a dictator of Germany and he focused his hatred in the Jewish community. He manipulated the Germans by promising them protection and firm leadership. In the book, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, the character Jack Merridew represents Adolf Hitler and his actions. They are both cruel and are eager to get power at any extent. They maintained power and control by using cruel methods and punishing people. Hitler killed millions of Jews and non-Germans and his opponents, and Jack punished whoever disobeyed in his tribe and tried to get rid of anyone that might be a threat like Ralph. Both Hitler’s and Ralph’s continuous failure made their anger grow and caused them to reach a point where there was no humanity left in them.…

    Malaysian‟s kopitiam. OldTown is Malaysia’s home grown kopitiam operator with the largest branch network in Malaysia; it also distributes packaged coffee products across the region. Valuing the stock in line with its consumer peers at a prospective 2012 PER of 11.2x, our fair value is RM1.50, or a 20% upside to its listing price of RM1.25. OldTown offers a gross dividend yield of 4.7% at its listing price. Over a decade of history. The group commenced operations with 3in-1 instant coffee manufacturing in 1999 under the “OLDTOWN” brand name and started exporting a year later. OldTown built its second core business in 2005 when the first OldTown White Coffee outlet was opened to public in Ipoh. The vertical expansion into the food services industry has been successful and today OldTown has a total of 182 outlets in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, while its coffee products are exported to 12 different countries. Booming on a bulging midriff. We like OldTown for its stable food and beverage business with visible growth prospects. While consumers’ preferences are constantly changing, we believe the variety of food in OldTown truly caters to everyone’s taste buds making it a preferred hang out spot. The rising purchasing power of the younger population is positive for OldTown because they tend to hang out more often. Management targets to open another 27 (11 already) outlets by end 2011; 22 in Malaysia, 3 in Singapore and 2 more in Indonesia.…

    The best executive teams exploit their members’ distinctive strengths. For instance, diskdrive giant Seagate’s leaders—the CEO, COO, and executive VPs of finance and marketing/ strategy—excel together by drawing on their complementary functional expertise. Yet complementarity’s benefits don’t come free, say Miles and Watkins. For example, team members’ differing perspectives may keep them from committing to a common strategy. How can leadership teams reap complementarity’s benefits while avoiding its risks? Erect four pillars of alignment: shared vision, rewards for achieving common goals, constant communication, and trust that each team member has the firm’s best interests at heart. Also, ensure smooth leadership transitions; for instance, help the COO prepare for the CEO role by giving him increasing responsibility for setting strategy. The payoff? A leadership team that collectively delivers far better results than each member could provide on his own.…
