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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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

The local culture and customs might attract the businessmen who are attending a conference in the city and give them a favorable experience, and then they are likely to establish their business operations there in the future. Thus business tourism can stimulate future investments for the destination.
