...a personalized cup of coffee to another level, by printing ‘Ripple’ images onto the milk-froth left on the top of a coffee. Ripple began in Israel in 2013 and began to gain momentum after receiving awards at the ‘product demo of our lives!’ competition and after winning the ‘Last Gadget Standing’ competition. The Ripple Maker uses a patented coffee bean extract that uses 3D printing technologies to replicate any image onto the top of the cup. Their advantage is in the customizability of the printing which allows baristas and customers to choose from a library of images or upload their own, posting the picture on social media is almost inevitable. This report will delve into the history of this company, their business strategy and potential opportunities that this company will face in the future. Eyal Eliav and Danny Lavie are designers and inventors who fell in love with the idea of creating a unique experience for each coffee consumer. The vision was to ripple the world with a unique and innovative way to make people’s day that much better. Coffee has had such an...

...scale business. Consider the following points before dismissing screen printing as a practical hobby. For most, the initial appeal of screen printing is the low cost required to get started. For as little as fifty dollars, one can purchase all the necessary components to immediately begin printing personalized designs. On top of that, no technology is required in creating your designs. You do not need a computer or expensive software to get started. Anything from dark paper, cardboard, or just a sheet of white paper and a black pen is all you need to get you on your way to creating your own t-shirts and posters. That being said, don't think that you need to be a graphic designer in order to create fun and exciting t-shirts. Whether you are creating the shirts to sell, or just for wearing around the house, the freedom to play and experiment with ideas and techniques is unlimited. Creating simple stencils of text or images can be your first step in finding your creative expression in the technique of screen printing. But don't worry about messing up, with screen printing you can always reclaim your screen and start over. This is just another aspect of screen printing that really makes this a rewarding...

...3Doodler – Alexander Weiss (RedID: 816410953) Lean Canvas and Criticism Problem When people are drawing, they often can’t help feeling limited, because they can’t touch or feel their paintings. In short, drawings don’t feel real! This is really sad, since people try to be creative when they are drawing and being creative is easier the more flexible you are and the better you can capture your imagination, your thoughts and feelings. Hence many people don’t feel comfortable, but limited by drawing in just two dimensions. Besides the restrictions of 2D drawing many creative women would rather develop a new, individual piece of jewelry on their own than just to buy a finished product. Wearing their own creations women could express themselves in a better way. Currently alternatives for 3d printing require a high level of technical knowhow and they are very expensive and therefore not accessible to many people. Solutions Possible Solutions could be provided for instance by 3D Printers. In the past they used to be very expensive, but prices have decreased very quickly and technology has made good advances in this research area. Due to these developments experts expect a creativity revolution through 3D printing in the very near future. 3D printing is also very fast and accurate. But one possible disadvantage of 3D printing could be the somehow distanced relationship to the printings. Artists often want to connect with their art in a special way and this is not always ensured working...

These data will get transmitted to the central account department. The printed documents of the travel details and customer details will be handed over to the head office at the end of each day as a result by using the confirmation of the details given by the head office will be used to type out the customer’s name and address onto a stencil on a small manual type writer. This stencil can be used to be put in a small hard machine which will stamp the name and address on an envelope. By using the stencil method there will be a communication between the branches and their customers and also can be used for mailing of brochure which describes the services of the company. For the purposes of gathering the statistics from the customer’s information the director had an idea of automating this details and the mailing lists.

...twelve primary schools, three middle schools and two high schools. Since 2009, there have been 4 reported student suicides due to the intense school environment and rigorous workload. The domino effect of suicides started in particular with high schooler Jean-Paul Blanchard. Jean-Paul was known for his kindness, compassion, and social skills. He worked hard to keep a balance between school work, his social life, and mental health but it became too much for him to handle. He needed a break and had trouble finding a proper escape, which caused him to jump in front of a fast moving train and take his own life. Soon after Jean-Paul’s death, three others took the same escape he did and killed themselves. Students state, “You feel this sense that you’re not as good as everyone else or you’re not good enough for whatever reason-because you can’t get into a certain college or just because your test scores are not as high as someone else’s. You kind of feel you...

...Monroe, Marilyn (1 June 1926-5 Aug. 1962), film actress and sex symbol, was born Norma Jeane Mortensen (and was also known as Norma Jeane Baker in her youth) in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Gladys Monroe Baker Mortensen, a film cutter, who was unmarried when she gave birth to Monroe (her father has never been positively identified). Gladys Mortensen was an avid movie fan, but Monroe spent very little time with her often unstable mother. Within two weeks of her birth, Monroe was placed in the first of what would be a succession of foster homes, guardianships, and orphanages. This experience convinced her that she was a "mistake," a person easily abandoned. Given an insecure childhood that included the trauma of sexual molestation and an early marriage (to James Dougherty in 1942; they were divorced in 1946) arranged in part to prevent her return to an orphanage, it is a testament to Monroe's tenacity, personal strength, and resilience that she managed to achieve the heights in her career that she did. Her marriage to Dougherty compelled Monroe to quit high school, and her lack of formal education furthered her sense of inadequacy. While her husband served in the merchant marine during World War II, Monroe found a job inspecting parachutes at the Radioplane Company (1944-1945). Army photographers who had arrived at the plant to take commercial and military pictures of female war workers discovered her. From this first successful posing arose Monroe's fabled "love affair"...

...November 27,2012 Brian Kuczynsky Marketing Plan Letter Business 243 Working in a group with only two people can be difficult as the workload is effectively twice that of a four person group. However, I feel like Cheyann and I did a good job of dividing and completing the assigned tasks. I ended up researching the history of the company and summarized it. This helped me to write the executive summary and the current situation sections. Then I examined the specific market that our company targets and used what I found to write the target market section. I also looked at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the company. Those I then translated into internal and external opportunities and presented with bullet points. Using the information I gathered along with the work done by Cheyann, we decided on the marketing objectives we were going to try. I went on to summarize these objectives and the plans that went along with them. I also wrote out our action plan that we would implement to meet those objectives. I do not really remember or even know what it was that Cheyann did. However, I know that she did a lot of work, and then she did even more over the thanksgiving break. Therefore, I estimate that she completed 55 to 60 percent of the work, leaving me to complete the rest. -Brian November 27, 2012 Cheyann Wittmann Marketing Plan Letter Buiness 243 The marketing plan has been a very interesting experience...

Minerva Minnehaha V. Capco INTRODUCTION Although our country still remains conservative as compared to the West, the prevalence of Skin Art here in the Philippines is still unstoppable. Filipinos of the latest generations have gradually started opening up to embrace a whole new subculture---a subculture that is more experimental with art, music and sports. Crews and crews of Graffiti artists as well as Skaters are flourishing, Local bands are reaching new heights, and of course, the Industry of Tattooing is growing by the minute. The word tattoo was said to have two major derivations. From the Polynesian word “Ta” which means “to strike something” and from the Tahitian word “Tatau” which means “to mark something”. Archaeologists across the globe have unearthed preserved corpses and mummies that are tattooed. These mummies are said to have lived thousands of years ago, and most of the bodies bore tattoos that signify their cultures, ranks and beliefs. According to research, tattooing has been in activity to many countries such as Japan, Egypt, China, Polynesia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Africa, Ancient Greece and Rome, America...
