...Provisional title The provisional title of the following project proposal is “LSA Logistics UK innovative shipping of artworks” Hypothesis for the project This project aims to investigate whether there is an appropriate field in United Kingdom for the idea of innovative shipping of artworks to grow up and be successful. According to Valerie J. Easton and John H. McColl (1997) there are several kinds of hypothesis such as: null, alternative, simple and composite hypothesis. In this particular project I choose the alternative hypothesis as a tool for investigation. In other words this means that I will try to explain and prove that the new idea of shipping service will be successful and at the same time that it will provide a lot of advantages for the company LSA Logistics UK not only when it comes to finance returns, but when it comes to gaining new loyal clients and excellent reputation, too. Valerie J. Easton and John H. McColl (1997) claim that alternative hypothesis should include a proper investigation, which conclusion should explain why the newly invented product or service will be beneficial and needed for a sufficient number of potential clients. To make an alternative hypothesis a person should have objects or services to compare. In this case I have a great deal of competitors, which do offer this type of service. So at the end of the investigation I should be able to conclude that the new highly improved service of LSA Logistics UK is better than the services of...

...Visit To A Wholesale Market: Garments The consumption and production of marketed food are spatially separated. Production is primarily in rural areas while consumption is in urban areas. Agricultural marketing is the process that overcomes this separation, allowing produce to be moved from an area of surplus to one of need. Food reaches the consumer by a complex network, involving production, assembly, sorting, packing, reassembly, distribution and retail stages. In developing countries the linkage between the producer and the retailer is still usually provided by assembly and wholesale markets, where wholesale marketing takes place using a variety of transaction methods. Recent years have seen an expansion of wholesale marketing in E. European and former CIS countries. On the other hand, the growth of supermarkets in many regions has seen the development of direct marketing and a reduced role for wholesale systems.

In some cases the film director can control the artistic and dramatic aspects of the film . They also visualize the script while depending on the cast and crew to help bring his/her vision to life. The director plays a major part in choosing the cast and crew. Once the director comes up with the vision of the film they make the necessary movements to get things started and begin shooting, once shooting starts they have deadlines to meet. In the movie Zoolander (2001) Ben Stiller was the film director. A production designer (PD) is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event. They are the major head of the the entire art department. They control things such as films, tv programs, video games, music videos, and or advertisements.

The AD takes control of the overall appearance and how it communicates visually, stimulates moods,contrasts features, and appeal to a target...

...Packing up your room and leaving your home to head off to college is something that everyone has thought about and some dream about. I was one of them, excited to be the only one in my family to made it to college. I was excited to finally get out of the house away from my parents, finally have some freedom and make my dad proud of me for leaving the town that my family has always stayed in for so long. But as soon as I started actually packing my things and getting ready for school I began to panic and rethinking my decision on leaving. I remember packing my clothes in a big box the night before and crying on my floor thinking about how I was leaving home for longer than I ever had before.

...is something homegrown. But “country music” has almost completely shifted to “music about being country.” You don’t have to sound country, you just have to revel in being country. Superstars are hard enough to come by as it is, and when you think about the ones who have emerged from country music in recent years – Sugarland, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum – their tenuous links to country music as a distinct art form are virtually nonexistent. Ten years ago, Carrie Underwood would’ve been grouped as a pop-country diva. These days, she’s the only recent superstar that even seems to care that her music sounds identifiably country. And while there is no shortage of alternative country acts who are connected to the genre’s roots, their very existence on the outskirts of the mainstream prevent them from having a meaningful enough impact to carry on country music’s rich legacy. Without a new generation of country stars breaking through enough to really captivate the interest of the public, I see no way for country music to continue as a viable art form and culturally relevant presence in contemporary music. Jones made the comment during a recent interview when asked about music by artists like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift. “They had to use something that was established already, and that’s traditional country music. So what they need to do really, I think, is find their own title, because they’re definitely not traditional country music,” he said. “It’s good...

...I'm Not a Vegetarian! But . . . Should the Animals Eaten Have Rights? Oh, no! That steak is from a living animal that breathes the same air as humans. Should this animal have to be killed and butchered to become something humans use for survival? All living beings should have certain rights, correct? The answer is a profound . . . yes, and no. Animals have been eaten for billions of years in order to sustain the human race. That will never change. For example, a hunter will go out on an early Saturday morning just when the sun is rising to look for a deer to kill so the family will have meat to eat. After a period of time, several deer are spotted fifty yards away in a clearing. With careful aim, a single shot is placed directly behind a deer’s shoulder that results in, dinner for the evening. Even though animals must be killed in order to supply the humans with meat . . . they should have certain rights prior to their demise. Animal abuse in slaughterhouses is caused by trying to process more animals than the slaughterhouses can handle in order to maximize profits, along with using outdated processing methods with under maintained equipment; however, this problem can be solved by incorporating well maintained up-to-date processing equipment and better internal quality controls. Looking back, as reported by Farm Forward, n.d.: In the last 70 years—a tiny blip in the history of farming—cruel, unsustainable factory farms have grown to the point where they produce...
