Color management is based on profile specifications of the internationally accepted ICC (International Color Consortium), which is the “governing body” for color management (Sharma vii). It has beauty and simplicity because it ensures files are consistent and accurate as they move from one device to the other. It is possible to single out some major measures to be undertaken to ensure that color is consistent and accurate between all components. These measures are based on analysis of variables that could impact color shifts. First, it is important to understand that the color in digital imaging should be controlled using different systemic procedures, hardware and software (Sharma ix). Every imaging device consists of its own personality hence the accuracy and consistency of color imaging depends on personal characteristics of each device (Sharma 46). For instance, different digital cameras and scanners may capture the same scene somewhat different or different printers may print the same digital file quite differently. Thus, color shifts are depended on scanner variability and printer variability. Therefore, it is important to take into consideration the individual characteristics of every device used in producing images. There are two methods used to control color: closed-loop color and open-loop color (Sharma 47). It is acknowledged that the closed-loop color method is quite easy to implement as it presupposes that the digital color is a preserve of the high-end systems hence it is quite easy to get the desired colors. Here the system includes the monitor, scanner, software and other outputs with images destined for printing in one type of printing process. Colors can be matched by calibrating specific types of hardware and software to one another. However, in this case the open-loop color method is used as it is more accurate and consistent. This method is more effective as it employs the use of a central hub system to communicate the variability of color between devices. Here, images may come from different places; get viewed in varying displays and later printed using different printing technologies. Therefore, it is easy to control color even if different devices are going to be used (which is very common). We guarantee that every device used has a profile which is the image + profile golden rule of color management. It is easier to add a new device into the workflow, provided, each single device has its own profile. We also follow RGB (red, green and blue) and CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) instructions of every device carefully (Sharma 40). Though, the two are not reliable descriptors of color, we also use CIE (International Commission on Illumination) systems that use instruments that measures color patch to produce numeric results irrespective of the device used to produce it. The ingredients we used in the recipe do not limit accuracy and consistency in reproduction of colors (Sharma 42). We use color management module (CMM) when converting the color of one space to another (such as a RGB color to CMYK color) using the device’s profile. We take into account such important details as the fact that the gamu
The analysis of the American’s position as to preaching one set of beliefs but practicing another is based on the research provided by David Brooks “The Culture of Debt”, Jackson Lears “The American Way of Debt” and Benjamin Franklin “13 Virtues”. The authors managed to illustrate the cultural atmosphere of the USA concentrating on the social and economical position of the country. Jackson Lears in his work “The American Way of Debt” discloses the position of American culture suffering debts of global resources. He states that there is a division of debt into productive and consumptive. The author of the article managed to highlight the aspect that the morality of Americans in terms of economical and financial position has changed with the centuries. The level of bankruptcy and the number of borrowers increased a lot. At the beginning of the XX century, the Americans preached indebtedness which was promoted as a way of workers’ disciplining. Nowadays Americans became more independent borrowers practicing this type of financial stability almost in every field of service and goods. Thus, the Americans strived for reaching something trying to avoid borrowings and debts while the modern generation promotes the opposite position. In the analysis of the work “The Culture of Debt” written by David Brooks, one should note that the author tried to promote the rapid change of the financial morality and national attitude of people to easy money. A lot of Americans promoting loans and credit systems seem to go bankrupt very quickly. People are to be responsible for their actions; they should understand the value of easy money and try to take measures in order to prevent financial instability. The author states that people contradict their desires; they strive for earning more for them to be respected, but take borrowings and suffer bankruptcy. Their beliefs are in most cases damaged by themselves. Benjamin Franklin tried to promote the 13 virtues which are considered to be the most important in terms of morality disclosing the character of the time people live. he managed to depict the points of sincerity and justice underlining the significance of being frank to themselves; the present situation on the private property market cannot be compared with that one of 1600-1860. All the authors managed to stress the main idea of market transformation not only in the USA but in the whole world. The monetary system was covered by moralism during that period. People strived to reach high goals, while nowadays the society tries to hide under the mask of moralism. Lears proved that the generation of modern economical development tries to satisfy the needs with the help of credit system improvement; as a result, a great part of the population suffers bankruptcy and instability. The modern economy stopped developing the values promoted at the end of the XIX century; during that period people tried to buy expensive goods on time payments but their financial position was controlled by a special Finance Corporation in order to
Introduction This painting displays a young man blowing soap bubbles that are drawn from a cup containing liquid soap using a straw. The artist in this piece employs several colors to bring out clearly the elements of design, For instance the tone of this painting is presented by merging white color with a darker color. This implies that in real life the boy was blowing those soap bubbles in the night because there is very little light in the background. Jean Simeon Chardin was the son to a cabinet minister and he spent most of his time in Paris. Born in 1969 and through his life, he was normally attracted to themes that revolved around children games and domestic activities in still presentations. He was popularly known as the master of still life. His artistic character was propelled by his father, who designed billiard tables. Chardin married Saintard in 1731 and during his career he captured the interests of the Royal Academy with other paintings such as The Ray (1725 – 1726), The Buffet (1728), and Woman Sealing a Letter (1733) (National Gallery of Art). Jean died in Paris in 1779, leaving great works that are still emulated by artists. In the 17 th century, bubbles symbolized the transience of life. It is perceived that Chardin wanted to use this piece of art to demonstrate how delicate life is. In real life a normal burble only lasts for a few minutes after it has been blown. In simple language this theme means that a person’s life can end at any time as long as one is alive. The art has elicited different themes in regards to the paintings. Some argue that the boy was lazy and he was only wasting his time. But Chardin wanted to twist the theme and designed the painting to depict the essence of soap bubbles and life. The bubbles have been painted white and light brown to create an emphasis on them by distinguishing them from the rest of the painting. Elements of Art The color in these soap bubbles creates a variance in the size of the bubble. The bubble has a lighter color to create an element of time. By making the bubble a little bit darker, the painter is demonstrating the event prior to the breaking of a bubble. Dark colors and light colors that is dark brown and white color have been applied to improve on the contrast of the painting to enable the audience draw a line between the bubbles and the clothing worn by the young man in this painting. The skin complexion of the young man blends with the color of his jacket to present a smooth texture. Light in this painting is injected from the left to create an outline of the young man’s image. The boundaries created by the bubble represent the line element, in which the bubble is shown as increasing in size.
The discussed community of adults between the ages of 45 and 64 living in Williamsbridge, Bronx has a rising problem if type 2 diabetes. The majority of interventions for this problem include educational programs that target people’s dietary choices, physical activity, and health knowledge (Powers et al., 2017). However, while these initiatives have proven to be effective in lowering people’s glucose intake and decreasing their risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems, they failed to acknowledge the socioeconomic barriers of some communities. In the Bronx, many people live under the poverty line, which significantly restricts their access to healthy food and medical care. Therefore, they may feel discouraged to adhere to interventions that are not tailored to their specific problems. A program that promotes health through dietary change should address the socioeconomic specificities of communities in the Bronx by offering educational classes that provide affordable alternatives to unhealthy but cheap foods. Evidence-Based Behavior Change Current evidence suggests that dietary choices substantially impact people’s development and management of
When starting your own business, there are many things that an entrepreneur should consider. There are strategies, key activities, key partners, values propositions, customer relationships, and revenue streams, among others. Of course, a business owner should decide on the name of the venture. But most importantly, the entrepreneur should decide on the business model for the future business. This essay reviews three existing business models in order to decide which one fits best for Mommy and Me apparel company. One of the simplest types of business models is a proprietorship as its simplicity can be considered its biggest advantage. There are no legal formalities that are needed to be done in order to start, as compared to other types of business models. The only thing that may be required for dealing or manufacturing types of proprietorships is a tax identification number (TIN) (Keane et. al., 2018). Proprietorship means owning the property or a shop used for business, which means that the business and its owner are one legally. This makes an entrepreneur and his property vulnerable as all the responsibility for the business can be considered personal. In addition, the income of the business will couple with the personal income of the business owner, hence creating an additional tax liability. Another type of business model to consider is a company. The term itself is very common for different sorts of ventures, however, there is a legal definition, which clarifies the terms. According to The Companies Act of 1956, a company refers to a group of individuals associated with sharing a common purpose (De Luca, 2018). They have clear, specific, and declared goals, which was the reason why they are together. Companies can be classified as private limit
Introduction Male domination in management worldwide is a common phenomenon while women continue to experience barriers in their endeavor to succeed in workplaces. Traditionally, in most societies male dominated high levels in decision making, and even after the introduction of policies of equal opportunities in most countries around the world, women still occupy lower positions in their profession (Vinnicombe, 2008). One of the reasons contributing to this trend include negative attitudes and perceptions associated abilities of women at work. Traits of effective leadership have been demonstrated by men, and traits presented by women at workplace are viewed as not fit for a leader or a person who can handle high positions (Blossfeld, 2008). This condition, which has been created in workplaces has made people to view women as weak and ineffective leaders, and some women have chosen to imitate men traits for them to succeed in their workplaces. This paper will explore the question “must women present men characteristics to succeed? Women who have adopted male characteristics have had challenges; these challenges are coping with workmates who are both female and male. Also this women find it hard adjusting all the time; from male characteristics to women characteristics and vice versa, and for those who adopt male characteristics completely have find if difficult coping with life as women (Wirth, 2001). Hindrances to the success of women Occupational sex segregation has contributed to the success of women in professional jobs. Cultural as well as social attitudes towards female and male job have created discrimination in education and training; there are jobs which according to the culture of some commu
Introduction Halo is an upcoming firm that sells phone case to its customers. It is a branch of Young Enterprise Company. The decision to specialise in the phone cases was reached after careful market research. The market research revealed that mobile phone users were in dire need of phone cases to help in protecting this gadget. Some individuals spend a lot of money on buying expensive phones. However, such phones do not last long because of constant handling. The latest models of Smartphone with large screen were at greater risk of damage, especially when they fall. The only way of addressing this problem was to come up with various designs of cases that can help to reduce wear and tear of the phones even in cases when they fall (Cook 2005, p. 140). Halo was started out of the desire to fill a market gap that had existed for a very long time. The demand for products in this special niche was growing as the leading phone manufacturers started introducing various models to meet the dynamic needs of the customers. In order to meet the objectives in the market, the stakeholders have clearly identified officers responsible for various activities. At the top management level, there is the managing director. His main function is to ensure that strategic goals are clearly defined and that the interests of the shareholders are met. The administrator is the principal assistant of the managing director, responsible for the internal operations activities. Each of the departmental heads is responsible for various planning and managing activities in their departments. They include finance director, operations leader, and marketing director. The top leadership of this new firm have developed a working plan that makes it possible for departmental heads to have closely coordinated management structure. Reflective Analysis of How Halo Company was Developed Halo Company was founded after a series of meetings of various stakeholders who were interested in addressing a market gap that had been identified. We were motivated by the constant complains of people around us about the need to have effective phone cases. After a series of meetings, we decided to launch our own research in order to understand the specific needs of the market. The following are the objectives that the team wanted to achieve through that market research.   * To determine the specific needs of the customers in the market.   * To find out if these needs are met by the existing players in the industry.   * To determine the expected clients who will be interested in buying these products.   * To identify various approaches to payments that the clients will be willing to use   * To identify changes that may affect the product either in its design, material used, or its cost. To operate successfully, the management had to get detailed information about the market (Jain 2011, p. 67). The above objectives will enable the firm to have basic knowledge abou
The medium for the Rhetoric in Practice is a film review of Roman Polanski’s Chinatown. The approach will be scholarly and will appeal to those with undergraduate education and a specific interest in L.A. noir films. Though Chinatown was produced in the 1970s, fans of contemporary L.A noir genre films such as L.A. Confidential and Pulp Fiction will also appreciate this study. The review focuses mainly on how well this film works as a genre staple and builds on the film’s reputation as a modern classic. This film review is slightly more specialized than those found in publications such as Entertainment Weekly and Variety and is written in a more scholarly style. Thus, it will be more appropriate for specialized film study journals such as American Film, Film Criticism, Film Quarterly, Film Culture, and the Quarterly Review of Film Studies. The target audience for the Rhetoric in Practice will be film studies majors and filmmakers at the undergraduate level. This audience will have a wide age range however, they will all be educated at a post-secondary level and have an artistic focus that they express through film. Those still in school will range from late tee
Today there are many famous people who provoke the public’s strong positive and negative emotions and become the most discussed figures in society. The topic for the discussion can be celebrities’ activities, achievements, behavior, speeches, and many other aspects which become the focus of the public’s attention. The most controversial figures can evoke feelings in the range from admiration to hatred because they do not follow the social frames, but have their followers. Tim Tebow, a quarterback of the Denver Broncos, can be considered as such a famous person who is worth of real admiration because of his achievements and way of life and that is why he is one of the most discussed athletes today. Admiration is a strong feeling, which is usually provoked by the high assessment of one’s actions and behavior. Many athletes are admired by their fans because of their great sport achievements and that healthy way of life which they support and popularize. However, few of them became the topic of active discussions because of their definite viewpoints and beliefs. The figure of Tim Tebow is interesting because it is possible to accentuate his significant sports achievements along with his active social position and persuasions. Today many people agree that such persons as Tim Tebow can be admired and followed by the public. What are the reasons for such admiration? Nowadays, media and Internet focus more on the phenomenon of ‘tebowing’ than on the peculiarities of the athlete’s personality, which can explain his popularity as well as the public’s hatred to him. Tim Tebow is a good athlete and a famous Evangelist whose faith became the real issue. Many people who are not interested in sports know him as that person who prays kneeling on one knee before games, and this act is called ‘tebowing.’ Nevertheless, sport is only one side of his life. Few people know that he is involved in philanthropic activities and works with charity organizations. It is not the results of his beliefs, but just his vision of life. In spite of the fact many people argue Tim Tebow’s behavior and career’s achievements, it is possible to determine several aspects of his life which can prove the fact that such persons are worth the public’s admiring and following. Thus, Tim Tebow is famous because of his specific manner of playing, which differs from traditional norms. Being sure that such a style can lead to the best results, Tebow is not afraid to follow it. The style of playing is in interdependence with his life style. Tebow always goes his way without paying much attention to the public’s opinions, but with focusing on moral and religious principles. His following Christian traditions and norms are so obvious that people are inclined to consider this fact as a kind of provocation. Nevertheless, it is a personal choice to follow the religious norms or those rules imposed by media. In his turn, Tim Tebow does not impose his way of living on the others. It is not his task. He just lives the life he likes. Moreover, his life’s priorities are so simple that they
Introduction Tourism is rooted in the history of ancient civilisations. Over the years, the industry has grown to become one of the most lucrative sectors for the generation of foreign revenues in many nations. Franscesco Frangialli, the WTO secretary-general, posits, “Tourism at the turn of the century is growing faster than even our most optimistic predictions, which continuously simulate its development worldwide” (Rita, 2010, p.435). The economic development of the Balearic Islands is strongly dependent on the inflow of tourists. Mallorca stands out as one of the biggest islands among the Balearic Islands in Spain with many three-star and five-star hotels. At present, governmental organisations and private companies attempt to find ways of attracting people from foreign countries to the Balearic Islands. Amongst these organisations, tour operators’ organisations influence the nature and magnitude of inflow of tourists into the Balearic Islands. Literatures on factors affecting tourism attractions mainly focus on infrastructural development, the presence of natural or cultural sites, and the development of the tourism industry among others factors, thus leaving out the roles of travel agencies insufficiently addressed. For instance, some studies highlight why a certain place can attract the attention of travel agencies without showing the impacts of the agencies on the hospitality facilities such as hotels. This challenge is aggravated by the inadequate or even lack of data showing how these organisations shape the development of tourist destinations. This study seeks to close this gap by restricting its concerns to the impacts of tour travel operators on hotels in Mallorca. Consequently, this study examines how the power of tour operators influences various hotels in Mallorca. This interrogative presents practical implications. Precisely, the determination of influence of the power of tourists’ travel on hotels in Mallorca is important in the development of strategic plans, which are consistent with the considerations addressed by various tour travel operators in recommending various accommodation facilities for their clients. Aims and objectives The inflow of tourists within a given geographical region is influenced by factors such as political, state of economic development, and even social factors. One important factor that is not significantly studied, which guides the objective for conducting this research, is the power of tour travel operators. Researchers in the hospitality industry focus on the mechanisms of increasing the popularity of certain tourist destinations. Indeed,
