Introduction This report evaluates the strategic options for “ship in a bottle” company as it expands into the global market. In this expansion, five prospective markets (Asia, South America, Australia, Middle East, and Africa) emerge. To establish the probabilities of succeeding in these markets, this report evaluates the product sold (through the harmonized classification code), the criteria for selecting the foreign markets, export strategy to use, export intermediaries to use, and any cultural issues that the company needs to consider (before it ventures in the foreign markets). Comprehensively, this report shows that “ship in a bottle” company needs to consider the uniqueness of every market and formulate a customized market entry approach that complements the dynamics of every market. Harmonized Classification Code The harmonized classification code for “ship in a bottle” is 9706. This code falls under works of art, collectors’ pieces, and antiques. Code 9706 defines antiques that are more than a century old (Foreign Trade On-Line, 2012, p. 2). Since “ship in a bottle” is a historical nautical product, it classifies as an antique that is more than a century old. Foreign Markets The prospective foreign markets for “ship in a bottle” are Australia, South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. These markets have a lot of potential because they offer unique market dynamics that are favorable for the introduction of the company’s product. Australia Some Australian communities appreciate the shipping culture and the associated value of nautical products. The Southeast coast of Queensland is one such community (Ships in Bottles, 2010). With a market that appreciates nautical products, Australia also has many unique cultural institutions that provide a ready market for the sale of culturally rich products like “ship in a bottle”. For example, the Sydney Maritime Museum, Williamstown Maritime Museum (Victoria), New Castle Maritime Museum (New South Wales), Maritime Museum of Tasmania (Tasmania), and the Queensland Maritime Museum (Brisbane) stock such kind of products (Ships in Bottles, 2010). “Ship in a bottle” company can therefore market its products to these museums. Middle East Some foreign markets like the Middle East also share the same profile as Australia because some sections of the Middle East have a very rich shipping heritage. This heritage stems from past years of the Arab trade, where many Arab traders traversed the world to buy and sell goods. However, while focusing on the Middle East market, it is important to highlight the importance of targeting areas that have a strong economic potential. Developed countries in the Middle East, such as, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia are attractive destinations for the launch of new nautical products. Moreover, these destinations have a deep internet penetration (plus an established e-commerce industry) that support internet sales. It is easier for “ship in a bottle” company to thrive in such destinations. Africa By focusing on Africa as a viable market for “ship in a bottle” company, it is cr
The play Fool for Love by Sam Shepard narrates a story of a couple undergoing a tumultuous reunion. The story is rich in controversial themes and motifs, such as alcohol abuse, violence, abandonment, and incest. Nevertheless, despite a disquieting mood, a closer inspection reveals an in-depth inquiry into the contemporary variation of the American Dream. The following paper aims to analyze themes from the play, identify the connections to the concept of identity, and determine whether the reality they are dealing with offers them a possibility to live the American Dream. The play is focused on a single period in lives of two main characters, May and Eddie. The entire play is set in a cheap hotel room which apparently serves as a place of May’s residence. The events are set in motion with the appearance of Eddie, who turns out to be May’s former love. Their conversation gradually reveals that Eddie’s main intent was to convince May to restore their old relationship and move with him to a farm in Wyoming where he wanted to live at one point (Shepard 24). May seems reluctant to accept his offer, as she claims to have found a job and worked hard at embracing her new life while severing ties with the previous one. Eventually, it becomes clear that their previous attempt ended in a disaster and May does not want to repeat her old mistakes. Several bits of information that surface during the conversation suggest numerous dishonesties on the part of Eddie, including an affair with a woman they both refer to as “the Countess.” As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Eddie and May are cousins but were oblivious to this fact when they engaged in a relationship since their father (an old man who is present at the stage for the entire time and provides occasional commentary) lived a double life by living with two different families in turns. At this time, May’s new date, Martin, arrives at the scene only to witness a tumultuous and inconclusive reunion of the former couple. The play ends with May starting to pack her bags, which, while never explained clearly in the play, probably illustrates her decision to follow her brother and former lover. Prior to the analysis, it would be necessary to outline the author’s profile as well as the history of the play. Sam Shepard was a prolific American playwright, author, and actor. He wrote more than forty plays and had received numerous awards for his works, including a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater Award, ten Obie awards, and a nomination for five Tony awards. Fool for Love , in particular, was nominated for Pulitzer Prize for Drama (“The Pulitzer Prizes”). Shepard’s works often focus on characters’ identity crisis and their struggle towards reconciliation (Roudané 156). Some scholars consider Fool for Love a part of the quintet which also includes A Lie of the Mind and three plays known as the Family Trilogy . However, it is necessary to point out that unlike the plays from the trilogy, neither Fool for Love nor A Lie of the Mind share an
Data Driven Data driven implies the management of the company with the central importance of the information received and processed within the framework of the company’s functioning. Moreover, such management includes its visualization and interpretation in order to change the quality of the company’s work for the better. The calculus and statistical approach can now be used in all practical applications, from trade and economics to the regulation of natural phenomena. A specific topic for consideration in this paper is the application of date-based solutions to underestimate the environmental damage done by food manufacturers. The exclusion of the human factor from the decision-making process implies the concreteness of factual evidence of the need for specific decisions. Based on the principles of efficiency and achievement of goals. Through the involvement of sources considering exploratory date analysis as well as its effective visualization, the practical usefulness of such a methodological innovation as the data driven in the food industry is proved. Annotated Bibliography Susnik, J. (2018). Data-driven quantification of the global water-energy-food system. Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 133 , pp. 179-190. Web. This article perceives the processing of information about the ecological, economic and social situation of the planet as a continuous stream of a coherent system date that combines the supply of water, food and energy. In the context of this complex system, which is in a constant state of fluctuations, it becomes possible to observe dangerous tendencies regarding the depletion of certain material sources. This article clearly demonstrates how date processing can visualize a picture of social and material situation on a colossal scale and describes modern food production at the global level in statistical dimensions. The study also shows to what extent easy access to statistical information on a global scale is able to build new methodologies for describing the world. The creators of the development have sharp causal and correlative relationships between all sectors that make up the basis of the food and energy chain. Demonstration of these flows clearly proves that they are all also linked by economic relations. Also the date used is verified against iterative sources in order to present more realistic pictures of the projected future. Following as a conclusion from the interpretation of these data, the risk of depletion of natural resources sets a fairly specific framework for this essay. Srinivasan, R., et al. (2019). Modelling food sourcing decisions under climate change: A data-driven approach. Computers & Industrial Engineering, 128 , pp. 911-919. Web. The study is highly relevant to this work because it looks at the immediate future as a space for building a date-based strategy. The article focuses on the problem of global warming, which should have a colossal negative impact on the production of agricultural products and cereals. The use of publicly available statistical data allows the authors of the article to develop a strategy for changing the type of food supply to ada
Introduction Nations and groups of people may experience conflicts due to political, ideological, cultural, and religious differences. When such conflicts go unchecked or unresolved, they may translate into wars. In the context of this paper, the term war means any conflict that involves the use of arms against an adversary, which may be a nation, group of people, or parties that reside within a nation. Warfare means the act of engaging in war through air, soil, and ocean. During the times of war, nations or groups of people are in a state of hostility that often involves military operations. The art of war keeps on changing as technology changes. Consequently, warfare techniques and approaches may be subdivided in terms of generations. Hammes considers historical experiences in warfare as fitting into four groups (24). The categories include the first, second, third, and fourth generation combat. The paper focuses on the fourth generation warfare. It discusses the proofs for its existence, tactics, imp
A psychic problem called Gender Dysphoric Disorder can be a serious threat to a child’s mental health and perception of the environment. The distorted image of one’s own identity is fraught with the loss of communication with peers and parents, which, in turn, can lead to attendant problems. For instance, VanderLaan et al. note that this disorder is closely related to autism, which manifests itself in children as a form of reluctance to adapt to society (1742). Therefore, work on the solution to this health problem should be strengthened and timely. The disease under consideration has not always had the same name as it does now. According to VanderLaan et al., previously, it was referred to as Gender Identity Disorder, but this wording was changed (1745). According to the authors, it was done because the previous name did not express the presence of disorder, and the violation of identity could not be viewed in terms of a clinical problem (1745). Today, a new term is utilized to reflect the pathology that manifests itself in such a mental illness. This psychological disorder is certainly a good reason for the intervention of medical professionals. Those children who are exposed to this problem are at risk of receiving severe psychological trauma. The task of parents is to pay attention to any forms of non-standard behavior, for example, clothing preferences, special activities, and other factors. While suspecting this diagnosis, a visit to qualified psychologists should be mandatory since, at an early stage, an opportunity to solve the problem is more likely. In general, children should not be allowed to have a distorted idea of their identity, and if the required measures are taken at an appropriate stage, the probability of restoring normal perception is high.

Introduction Lack of unity and harmony in any country plays a pivotal role in the fueling conflicts and wars. Historically, many nations have fallen victims of civil wars due to the failure of the governing bodies to resolve internal conflicts. Research has shown that political conflicts are among the leading causes of wars in the world. Other types of conflicts that have proven detrimental to the well-being of a nation are religious conflicts, which have been the major cause of war in most of the nations in the Middle East. The Lebanon and Cyprus civil wars were caused, among other issues, by political differences as well as some religious aspects of the different groups in the nations. This paper gives a comparison of the Lebanese and Cyprus civil wars. Similarities The political parties in both cases were willing to go to the furthest extend to ach
The American job market is growing on a daily basis and at a fast rate. This is as a result of high levels of innovation and investment. The high incidences of immigration coupled with the favorable business environment are other factors that have contributed to the growth of this market. The fast and furious growth of the job market has led to the demand for an efficient, qualified and highly skilled labor force. These are the type of employees whose efforts in their lines of duty will go a long way in helping the organizations to achieve their business goals, aspirations and objectives (The High Point Chamber of Commerce 6). However, this achievement will only be attained if the hired workers have all that it takes to sufficiently operate in their working environment. The qualifying factors not only include technical skills but also applied skills. This essay will look at the great significance of applied skills in an organization and further explain why and how these skills will be valued in the coming years. Applied skills will absolutely be valued greatly in future because they are crucial to the success of an organization. These skills are those qualities in an employee that enable him or her to successfully carry out his or her duties without experiencing any breakdown or constraint. As much as technical skills form the basis of a good worker, applied skills are necessary for unrestrained coordination between the employees. The most appropriate way of emphasizing the significance of applied skills is to view them as the backbone or frame that holds all the other skills of an employee in order (Clagett 17). The value of applied skills can therefore not be underestimated as far as the financial success and the efficiency of any organization is concerned. Secondly, applied skills will have great value in future because industry leaders are moving away from the traditional practice of placing too much importance on technical skills at the expense of applied skills and the general welfare of the industry (Miller 265). In his speech at Olin College, Miller acknowledges the significance of technical skills and appreciates the fact that they are these skills that guarantee job security to a new employee (264). This simply means that without these skills, the chances that one will secure a promising type of employment are close to none. Applied skills will be preferred over technical skills in the future workplace because the former assure employers of a long term relationship with the workers. The special importance that is attached to technical skills diminishes once the employee has secured himself or herself the job. In his or her new position, the new employee is faced with an extra task of working in harmony and smooth cooperation with fellow employees. This is where all the employees are gauged afresh irrespective of their level of technical competences. Employers will only be assured of a lengthy employment contract with the job applicant if he or she has the applied skills that the employer is looking for. Tho
Introduction Citizen Kane is an American drama directed by Orson Welles. He also worked as a producer, screenwriter, and actor in this movie. Citizen Kane won different awards and became a modern classic. Also, it is at the top of the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest American Movies. This work is considered to be the most important American film of all time. Although certain characteristics clearly highlight the brilliance of this movie, some people argue its significance. The main goal of this paper is to discuss the importance of Citizen Kane , regarding several aspects like narrative structure, mise-en-scene composition, and cinematography. Main body Citizen Kane’s narrative is very unusual as it has a nonlinear structure. It means that the chronological order of the story is broken. The movie is made up of random memories of the main character (Welles). Such flashbacks give spectators some insight into Kane’s past. It shows how people’s memory works when they want to recall different stories. This nonlinear structure is very important as it helps to create a mystery about the main character. Also, there is no narrator in this film. Hence, viewers have to do all work by themselves. They are shown different episodes, and they need to put them together to get one comprehensive narrative. There are many clues that help to realize the true nature of the main character. Other noticeable details are the beginning and the end of the story. It starts and ends with a sign “No Trespassing” hanging on a wired fence. It gives viewers an idea that Kane’s life should remain a secret. Mise-en-scene is another important aspect. The episode in which the main character is talking to his first wife is a striking example (Welles). The use of props and costuming is an element of mise-en-scene that creates an attention-holding atmosphere and displays the polarization of the characters. In the first part, they are very close and look at each other’s eyes, expressing strong affection. Kane decided to stay with her instead of going to work. However, as their relationship develops, they change the clothes, which become more expensive and tight. The table that was small gets longer, highlighting the distance that occurs between the couple. The director used specific mise-en-scene to create an effect that everything changes very fast. However, in fact, it takes the characters several months to realize their real feelings. The director applied advanced and innovative techniques to pass on his ideas. Therefore, this aspect also enhances the significance of this movie. Finally, this film is an example of the use of exceptional cinematographic techniques. Citizen Kane presents a “deep focus” cinematographic style. The
Introduction Every patient, regardless of his/her ethnic and social background, level of income, and state of health, has the right to receive high-quality care. Although the significance of medications and procedures applied in the course of treatment is hard to overestimate, effective communication and trusting relationships established between the patient and the care provider is none the less significant for effective treatment. This task is especially challenging in case of individuals who do not speak English or do not possess sufficient knowledge of the language to be able to communicate their needs fully and correctly. In order to provide equal care to diverse populations, it is essential to find methods of enhancing communication with patients of different backgrounds; otherwise, racial and ethnic disparities in health care access and quality of care delivery may get aggravated (Jeffreys, 2015). The major task of Joint Commission is to prevent this and assist hospitals in their efforts towards HRM improvement. The Joint Commission is a non-profit organization that sets standards and accredits health care units, policies, and programs across the country. Since all medical organizations in the United States have to adhere to these standards, it can be stated that the Commission has a direct influence upon the major functions of HRM. The latter is supposed to maintain all hospital activities in such a way that they allow the organization to remain accredited. Furthermore, the Commission has drastically changed the role of leadership, expanding it from the control function to planning, coordinating, directing, and improving all services provided. The Commission specifically stresses the role of culturally and linguistically proper care that hospital leaders have to ensure through the development of effective frameworks (Shaw et al., 2013). That is why HRM has to update its practices regularly in order to comply with the current position statements and recommendations. For acute care hospitals, this implies annual reviews of policies and procedures since these units are subject to numerous risks for patients that must be minimized to guarantee safety. In addition, it is essential to make sure that not only employees but also leaders are in compliance with necessary training and are well aware of new standards HR
The book Coming Through Slaughter creates a vivid and interesting narration of the development and proliferation of jazz music and its impact on society. The author portrays that the relative melodies of New Orleans jazz bands were based on intuition, for all the recordings of the early groups were made in Chicago while the musicians were working there for black audiences. Jazz was indeed faster than other musical genres and styles of that time; so the author’s suggestion is logical and probable. The purpose of the book is to prove the importance of classic New Orleans jazz. It is important to note that these features are not exclusive to jazz. Improvisation is not limited entirely to jazz musicians, and we may see it in the work of European organists and many avant-garde ensembles today (Blumenthal 43). Furthermore, it was a major practice in the music of the Baroque, the Renaissance, and other great periods of Western classical music (Gioia 66). Buddy Bolden made a great contribution to jazz development and promotion of new ideas and cultural values represented by jazz. A metronomic pulse can be observed in marches and classical symphonies, and additive rhythms may be observed in French secular music of the late fourteenth century as well as in African drumming. It is the employment of several of these features in combination that is unique to jazz and that characterizes its distinctive sound and spiritual essence (Ondaatje 11). American minstrel
