An insider is a successful person in the fashion sector; these are editors, buyers, stylists, and photographers. Some have retired, and others are still in the line of duty. Fashion is not about dressing in clothes but displaying our art and appreciating nature. If one has not tasted the trend, it is high time to craze. The industry has created job opportunities for many generations, and people make a living out of it. People wake up in new designs by the most significant fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Anna Wintour, and Dior. In this essay, we will discuss the importance of fashion gurus in the fashion production sector; their success as an insider result from their path one chooses to follow. Through their journey to success in the fashion industry, insiders have inspired the young generation to follow their passion. They make people believe that everything is possible and no one can take what belongs to you. Edward Enninful explains how he was inspired by the Louis Vuitton fashion center, producing the best designer clothes and shoes since the 90s. Fashion needs to come from one’s heart, which will bring out new ideas and unique ones. The insiders have led an extraordinary passion for Fashion, and with this, they inspire us to see things from different perspectives. In the fashion industry, one has to master the materials he uses to know the archive design (Indvik). Fashion requires individuals to have good communication skills and mutual connection with the audience; this will help in a manner to communicate on the style one is working. Edward Enninful is from Ghana; he has successfully done well in the British magazine and played different roles, such as the modeling artist and the Vogue magazine’s chief editor. The situation explains more about the need for change which should start within. Being black and working on a British magazine teaches us that one can succeed on any path regardless of skin color. Discrimination has faced many individuals quitting their job, resulting from the failure to follow one’s passion. Enninful talks about how he faced discrimination because he was a small boy at the age of 16, but he managed to fight for his rightful place. Some of the insiders are not racist. They give everyone an equal opportunity to display their talent for Fashion—some of the insider’s guide the artist to be successful. Edward Enninful talks about his journey in changing the concepts in the British magazine force. The aim was to communicate with different people from all continents. Covers such as the Aboah 2017 made Edward Enninful gain popularity in the fashion industry. The experience explains how the concept of one’s project should be delightful to communicate to diverse populations (Mower). In the fashion industry, the insiders imply that one should work
Introduction: South Eastern Sydney Local Health District NSW Health. South Eastern Sydney local health district . The chosen organization can be referred to as the St. George Hospital of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District. It is a state organization that provides healthcare services to the citizens of Sydney. As one might have already guessed from its title, the organization is located in the southeast of Sydney. South Eastern Sydney local health district (2013). Retrieved from Google Earth. Philosophy, Mission and Policies The philosophy of the given organization is not known as widely as one might want it to; however, according to what the people working at the hospital say, their mission statement can be summarized in the following words: “we are all here to provide the best care possible within those limitations and patients are our number one priority” ( About St. George Hospital , 2008, March 25). The hospital provides a wide range of services to a number of patients of different age, gender and social/ethnical background. To define its basic purpose, the hospital officials declare that they can be called a “designated major trauma service” ( About St. George , 2010, June 16). SESLHD and Ethics St. George also has a range of peculiar policies and principles. Among the most notable ones, the mobile heritage principle, which works not only for St. George, but also for the rest of the hospitals belonging to the South Eastern Sydney local health district in general. The staff, as well as the head of the district, must take proper care not only of the equipment and the heritage belonging to the hospital, but also about “any natural or manufactured object of heritage significance” (South Eastern Sydney Area Health Service, 2001, iv) within SHE, in accordance with the given principle. As for the principles and policies on patients treatment, St. George staff is supposed to provide each of their patients with the due care and decent services, striving for the well-being of each patient and addressing each health issue individually (Lindorff, 2010). With the latest resources at hand, be it surgical, therapeutic or pharmaceutical ones, the South Eastern Sydney local health district can offer its patients the most efficient medical assistance. The corporate culture of the organization is also quite peculiar. As it has been stressed above, the SESLHD Organization strives for the well-being of each of its clients and, therefore, maintains a specific corporate culture. “New employees in SESLHD MHS may need to be paired with a more experienced member of staff to act as a guide to the workplace and the corporate culture” ( SESLHD policy cover sheet , n. d., 2). Goals and Rationale However, when it comes to defining the issues within the hospital setting, one must mention that some of the effects of the current management processes leave much to be desired. Because of the lack of cooperation between the members of the staff, which must have been spawned by the cultural differences between the younger trainees and the older
Period: 1920 A History of Fashion and Costume The model on this picture is wearing a fur trim jacket from Bisou Bisou that has been clearly influenced by the fashion of 20’s (the color-matching and comparatively narrow fur collar reaches almost down the waistline). The short silk dress is also reminiscent of Art Deco style, closely associated with women’s fashion from 20’s. Pearle necklace hangs down loosely, while reaching down almost to the waistline – thus, giving model’s twentieth look a final touch. (Cosmopolitan, 2009, p. 75). This model’s dress from Hermes has an undeniable aura of Art Deco style about it – it is asymmetric, it conceals model’s feminine proportions, it implies a great freedom of movement. The color-matching belt strengthens the impression of assymetricity about model’s appearance, which invokes images of flappers from 20’s. The silk scarf, wrapped around model’s head, radiates a spirit of twentieth unconventionality even further. (Vogue, [Russian edition], 2010 Spring-Summer Collection, p. 5). There can be very little doubt that this dress from Glambattista Valli has been inspired by fashion from 20’s, as it features decorative fringe rather prominently. Just as it is being the case with the dress displayed earlier, its designer had made a point in trying to provide wearer with a complete freedom of movement, which explains the absence of clearly defined waistline in this dress – a common feature of women’s fashion from twenties. Model’s shoes also appear to have been inspired by stylistic trends from the same historical era, due to ankle-straps as the foremost element of their design. (Vogue, [Russian edition], 2010 Spring-Summer Collection, p. 17). On this picture, Vanessa Paradise is shown wearing 2009 dress from Jay Ahr. The fact that this dress is made almost exclusively of decorative fringe invokes strong connotations with the fashion of twenties. Vanessa’s ear-rings and the massive silver bracelet, worn on her left hand, intensifies the extravagance of her frivolous appearance, which in its turn, points out at designer’s rather comprehensive understanding of an aesthetic values, associated with a so-called ‘flapper style. (Elle, 2009 [French edition], p. 102). Period: 1930 The model on this advertisement image from Giorgio Armani emanates a strong spirit of thirties, due to the following: a) Monochromatic homogeneity of her dress and accessories, b) The fact that her dress is being simultaneously tight and long, c) The sheer length of her black suede gloves, d) Tear-shaped design of her beret, e) The strength of her facial makeup’s expressiveness (to emphasize face’s rectangular features). The reason why this picture features only black and white colors is to prompt viewers to establish a connotation between model’s appearance and black and white movies from thirties. (Vogue, 20
Aim, Research Question, and Hypothesis Many countries want to implement strategies to improve construction projects in their public sectors and access cheap but effective services. Saudi Arabia, like many other countries in the Middle East, does not pay much attention to the question of price but rather focuses on quality, improvement, and success. The construction industry of Saudi Arabia should have a strategy to achieve the best results and avoid losses. Kensek and Noble (2014) admit that though it is impossible for companies to know every detail involved in the design of buildings and construction processes before the completion of a project, there also exists the possibility to gather information and make the decisions after being informed. This type of opportunity is known as building information modeling (BIM) and presupposes the possibility to improve the products and different processes that could be a part of architectural design. Still, the issue of adopting BIM is questionable because many researchers, architects, and writers have certain doubts concerning the worth of its implementation and the time when it would be most beneficial to take the steps (Deutsch, 2011). Regarding the doubts and concerns that are connected with BIM, it is important to understand the essence of this strategy and its implementation in Saudi Arabia’s public sector. This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of BIM implementation and investigate the potential of BIM that could be used to improve pre-construction processes for the public sector in Saudi Arabia. BIM is one of the latest global construction technologies that help save costs and introduces great projects in different countries. Saudi Arabia has unique qualities that implement BIM unique through such approaches as e-procurement. To achieve the goal of this project, there is one main research question to be answered: How could BIM-based e-procurement be implemented in pre-construction processes to improve the performance of the public sector in Saudi Arabia? To answer this question, several additional questions should be considered and addressed:   * How is it possible to achieve maximized benefits by using e-procurement to tender the project?   * What requirements should be considered in case tender is called because of e-procurement?   * What kind of information should be given in the BIM implementation process?   * What requirements should bidders meet?   * What is the nature of the relationship between BIM and e-procurement?   * Can BIM be used as a supportive element for e-procurement tendering?   * Keeping in mind that different procurement types exist, what are the requirements for bidders across those types? It is expected that research will prove the hypothesis that BIM implementation and e-procurement in the public sector can be useful support for numerous construction projects developed in Saudi Arabia today because it empowers builders and managers to integrate the required data about architecture, engineering, and construction with the help of modern tools and succeed in developing designs and projects
Introduction Protection of innovation is a key element in promoting the development or growth of entrepreneurship activities. For an entrepreneur to reap from their innovative ideologies there must be adequate measures in place for preventing actions that encourage imitations. Entrepreneurs can prevent imitations in various ways such as the use of standard patent, trademarks and patents among many others. This document, therefore, is going to explicate the various ways that enterprises use to prevent imitations. Standard Patent An entrepreneur can protect a method, process or device that he or she has creatively developed by acquiring patent rights (Australian government 2003). For example, cochlear company has patent rights on its ear device designed for the deaf, in various countries to protect imitations. This is an effective barrier to stop others form manufacturing, reproducing of commercializing this device unless upon proper authorization by the company. Innovative patent An innovative patent protects small entrepreneurs who cannot afford standard or normal patents (Australian government 2003). This protection is suitable for businesses, which have short commercial or existence period. Considering advantages, innovative patent are reasonably inexpensive as compared to the standard patent. Additionally, innovative patents are easily obtainable and further take relatively less time to acquire. Ultimately, innovative patents offer equal level of protection as the standard patent thus similar in terms of effectiveness. Trademarks One can define a trademark as a symbol, letter, picture, logo, packaging or a combination of these aspects, which differentiates a company’s goods or services from the rest in the market (Australian government 2003). For example, the word “Coca Cola” is a trademark for the renowned beverage organization. This, therefore, means that no other organization can use this name for any other reason without obtaining consent or permission of Coca Cola organization. The advantage of a trademark is that it protects or safeguards your brand in various ways. Design Registered designs protect an entrepreneur from imitations of his or her product outlook (Australian government 2003). Perfect examples of designs include product configurations and features. For instance, bed sheets with Ken Done designs are registered. This prevents or deters anyone from reproducing or manufacturing the same pattern or design. The use any registered design without permission is punishable legally. Copyright Copyright protects an entrepreneur’s original work such as music, art, broadcasts, literature, films and computer programmes (Australian government 2003). Copyright prevents anyone from unauthorized copying of another’s creative work. Some of the protected works under copyright include music, artwork, literature, drawing, poems, and novels among other material. Circuit layout rights Circuit layout r
Introduction Near field technology (NFC) is a form of technology that allows wireless communication between two devices over short distances. This form of communication usually involves a target and a reader. The distance between such devices is limited to just a few centimeters. For the process to occur, a reader needs to have a power source. On the other hand, the target does not necessarily need to have a power source. NFC technology is closely related to Radio –frequency identification technology. These two technologies share similar standards. NFC’s standards are defined by the NFC forum that was initiated as a joint effort by Nokia, Phillips, and Sony corporations (Want 5). This technology is mostly used in smart phones and other similar devices. NFC technology uses tags that contain information that can be interpreted by NFC enabled devices. These tags are mostly small stickers that can be put on products or even documents. Use of NFC technology has increased around the world. In countries such as United States and China, NFC technology has been incorporated in various sectors of those economies. An example of such is the use of contactless mobile payment. It is for this reason that NFC has become a tool of interest for businesses around the globe. In 2011, the number of mobile users in the world was estimated to be five billion. This number is still expected to rise in the next five years. The incorporation of NFC into mobile phones makes this technology a viable business tool. Henceforth, NFC can be used to serve and communicate with customers even in remote places. Recently, some mobile application developers in conjunction with mobile phone manufacturers have incorporated this technology into their devices. Phones like Samsung Galaxy, Nexus S, and Nokia C7 have this ability to scan and read passive tags. Architecture NFC operates on three different interfaces. These are NFC-A, NFC-B, and NFC-F. Interfaces A and B are based on the ISO18092 standard. Type F operates on ISO-14433 standard. NFC operates under a protocol suite that has been defined by the NFC Forum. This technology operates under the data link and physical layers of the OSI reference model. When a device is NFC enabled, it contains an interface for managing tags. Such a device can also create a tag as well as read one. A tag stored in one device can also be read by another NFC enabled device. Applications of NFC One of the strong points of NFC technology is that one enabled device can accomplish various tasks using different applications. One of such applications is E-Passport. This where passports are equipped with a contactless smart card that incorporates a digital signature. The data stored in this chip is used for authentication purposes. Another application is when making
Introduction Coolie labor was in high demand in European, Americas and their colonies during the 19th and 20th century. They were needed to work in plantation farming, factories and road construction. Most of them came from Asia, specifically China, India, Japan and Java. Some of the Coolies were shipped to French, German, Dutch colonies, Caribbean and other colonies, contributing Coolie global migration. Coolie roots have continued to shape modern world in many facets. It is obvious in religion, cuisine, art, and fashion design (Hoerder, 278). The strong presence of Buddhism and its practices and artistic impressions of designs in United States is an example of how Coolie history has denoted its culture across the world. Coolie migration Coolie or cooly was a popular term which used to indicate unskilled laborer or artisan class of Asiatic origin. The derivation of the term is far from conclusive. For instance, Dr. Engelbert Kampfer, in his book, History of Japan notes that “Coolies” or dock laborers, as commonly known in England, played an important role in aiding unload heavy packed Dutch merchant ships on dock at Nagasaki, Japan (Broeck, 30). In modern times, the word is used synonymously to refer to natives of China and India who left their homelands under contracts to work in plantation fields or act as laborers in international plantations across the world. The organization, in which the coolies were amassed, betrothed and transported to their various destinations, grew and developed into a fully-fledged trade accordingly; some governments for instance USA and Spain started acting to legally prosecute the perpetrators behind the scheme. A coolie migration is therefore, as a result of undeviating off-springs of discontinuance of slavery. The shortage of labor in Europe, America and their colonies during the colonial period highlighted the need for colonialist to look for cheap labor across the world (Yun, 40). The colonialist viewed that white men were physically unfit in working in tropical plantations acquired because of climate effects and widespread tropical diseases. Hence, Negroes and Asian slaves were seen as an option to enhance their course. Coolies for instance were lured in foreign lands by nice promises, which never existed, to strengthen the economic well being of British and Americas colonizers. India and China was an opportunity for free source of labor because of high- population rate, rigid civilization and culture of farming (Broeck, 28). Hence colonialist exploited these factors by use of force only to achieve their selfish interests. Strategies instituted to absorb more workforces for their interests included a provision of offers which was deemed attractive. T
In descriptive statistics, many calculated values and their graphical visualizations can help identify trends that are not obvious at first. Looking at a set of numerical data, it is usually not difficult to determine its mode, median, or even the approximate mean, since these measures of central tendency appear almost intuitively clear. In reality, however, the median is only the second quartile, which means others besides it. For example, some of the most valuable quartiles are Q1 and Q3, with 50 percent of all numerical data between them: this distance is called the IQR. With IQR and Q1, Q3, it becomes possible to determine any outliers in the numerical set. This can be done using two simple formulas: By substituting specific values, two bounds, lower and upper, beyond which the outliers are found, can be found for any numerical data set. Outliers, therefore, are any values in the array that are not within the calculated interval. Finally, using the five main numbers — median, minimum, maximum, and Q1, Q3 — it becomes possible to depict a boxplot plot, reflecting general trends in the data distribution. Each of the characteristics described finds useful applications in statistical analysis. More specifically, IQR helps assess the degree of dispersion of data relative to the mean: thus, the higher the value of IQR, the greater the dispersion of data is characteristic of the set. Determining outliers allows assessing how good the initial sample was and whether all factors have been considered. If outliers were found in the sample, this indicates not only the potential for incorrect data but also random outliers of interest. Finally, constructing a boxplot makes it possible to visually look at the entire data set, examine its symmetry, and compare the sets to each other if there are multiple boxplots.
Introduction According to Engelbeck (2002), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is a law that establishes several methods and procedures for contractual acquisition supposed to be handled by a federal asset regardless of the form; that is, either tangible or intangible. Such rules and processes have several differences but are similar in the sense that they endorse ultimate competition, which is usually referred to as full and open competition. Although the FAR plays a crucial role in the federal acquisition process, it has various shortcomings that must be addressed in order to improve the selection process. This paper, therefore, seeks to establish various ways of improving some of the existing competition requirements in the acquisition process. Main body The government acquisition process is comprehensive because it dedicates the entire competitive process to sealed bidding, negotiations, as well as alternative contracting methods. For instance, competitive procurement has different contracting techniques that are characterized by distinct levels of competition as established in the following paragraphs (TechnologyEvaluation, 2012):   * Sealed bidding: This depends on competitive bids known as sealed bids, and are usually provided in response to an invitation for bids (IFB).   * Contracting by negotiation: This depends on the competitiv
