...1. David Nash was born in Esher, Surrey in 1945. He studied at Kingston College of Art (1963-64), Brighton College of Art (1964-67) and Chelsea School of Art (1969-70). After finishing school at Brighton, Nash moved to North Wales before returning to Chelsea for one year in 1969. In Wales he purchased a chapel which has remained both his studio and home ever since. Wales was ideal for Nash, because he was surrounded by abundant resources and plenty of time to further develop his wood works. 2. The most interesting thing I discovered about David Nash was that he uses a chainsaw and axe as his primary tools as well as using a blowtorch in many of his works.David Nash uses wood as a medium for all his works. His interest in working with wood began as a child, when Nash helped clear and replant a forest his father owned. He also worked for the Commercial Forestry Group, where he learned about many kinds of wood. He is known for doing land art involving wood that remains in nature, as well as displaying his wood sculpture in studios. He carves wood from fallen trees as well as creates sculptures from growing plants. 3. Nash first decided to move to Wales after graduating from Brighton College due to the extremely low cost of living. In these years he experimented with making tower like sculptures and some very abstract works. He used paint to give more detail to these sculptures as well, which was unique to this period for Nash. He continued experimenting with this tower theme...

...suitable places to visit as they are relatively close to us in Crawley, West Sussex. These places are most at risk from coastal erosion and flooding as they are along the South East coast. A process which transports sediment along the coast is called long shore drift. It is the process by which sand and pebbles are moved along a beach by the movement of waves. As water rushes up the beach it forms the swash and as it returns down the beach, the backwash. The most common direction in which the waves move is determined by the direction from which the wind blows most often (prevailing wind). There is evidence that long shore drift is operating and we are going to prove it. At Seaford long shore drift is constantly occurring moving sediment from West to East. Seaford regularly has beach replenishment operations where material is moved from one side of the beach to the other. Diagram of long shore drift. This movement of sediment has consequences to us for example, result in inconvenient build up of sediment or starve beaches of sediment. Historical it blocked the mouth of rive Ouse. The harbour arm stopped the sediment from getting onto the beach, so the beach wasn’t there now. Swash direction north east, backwash south wind direction south west First we went from our school in Crawley to...

...The, enclosed, beach is silent. The bright ball blinds you as it emerges; it rises like a yellow lollipop on the distant horizon. Crashing against the shore, small waves wash the night's debris onto the land. Untouched golden sand covers the floor as far as your eyes can see. Soothing, a gentle sea breeze rustles through your hair. Beach shops prepare for their day of excited costumers bustling in and out of their small seafront shops. Opening their doors, they bring out all of there beach products looking out to the sea you can see the large cruise ships on the worlds edge. Abandoned, nothing there apart from a few sea gulls pecking at the rubbish left by yesterday's visitors. Empty crisp wrappers, chocolate wrappers, ice cream papers and half eaten cones scatter the yellow sand. Young children stumble onto the moist sand, with small buckets and spades in their hands, they shout and talk in excitement. Damp sand is forced between their toes. Straight away, the young children put on their swimming costumes and are smothered with thick white sun screen, to protect them from the bright sun. Children running towards the shoreline; their parents struggle onto the sand, loaded like camels with everything they will need for their day. Sandwiches, cold drinks, wind breakers, towels all bagged up and slung over both shoulders. A hot sea breeze rushes through the visitor's hair, as you stand there you can taste the salt in the air because it is so strong. The sound of the waves crashing...

Games would last until we could hear our parents yelling for us to return to the home for the diner, and even then most of us would wait a while longer until we were "in trouble" for not listening. The parents generally didn't mind because they knew we were having a great time. The years grew on and we still played, but more of the kids stoped playing or moved so the games were not exciting as when we played as kids. The the beach provided entertainment for everyone. Whether for the older folks relaxing in the sand and tannning or getting their feet just wet. young kids playing in the shallow water, where you can see to the bottom of the ocean. swiming with the small fish nipping at their feet.

Under the surface you can feel your feet step on little seashells as you walk. When building a sandcastle the sand sifts right through your hands.

...smell reminded me of my vacations to Florida over winter break. I will never forget the fresh smell of the air when we stepped off the airplane. I could see my grandparents from across the crowded airport. I would always be so excited to step on the soft, white, sandy beach. The first thing I would do is change into my bathing suit and run out to the beach. My sister and I would spend the day splashing in the salty water, until we were too tired to keep our heads above the water. Then we would lie on the soft damp sand and take a nap. It felt so good to have the bright sun blazing down on me. My favorite thing to do was build gigantic sand castles on the beach. My sister and I would have contests to see who could build the tallest sand castle. The grains of sand glistened in the sun like a diamond ring. I will never forget how the gigantic orange trees towered over me. Every day my grandpa would pick me an orange; they were so juicy! Every time I think about an orange, my mouth waters, and I think of how sweet they taste. Normally bedtime was a problem for me, but in Florida I fell right to sleep every night. I would leave the windows wide open, and I would fall asleep to the waves crashing on the sandy beach. I could hear the birds chirping outside my window along with the rustling of the wind. In the mornings we would walk to this little breakfast place called Bagel Snack. I would usually get a bagel and cream cheese, but sometimes I would live on the edge and get...

The product itself often appeals to watersport fans, so the majority of our marketing distribution channels will be directed toward areas located near large bodies of waters around the Globe. Dual distribution centers will be set up in different countries focusing more on coastline locations.

...The three components of business is; business as a commerce, business as an occupation, and business as an organization. The business in my area I would like to talk about is the little store right down the road here. It is owned by a very nice man from India. His products fit the area. He buys and trades for goods that the people around High Island might buy. There are so many different races and ages that stop there because it is a mile from the local beaches and they are headed to the beach for fun, fishing, or both. So the shelves are stocked with things that these people might buy but the prices may be a little high because the store is the only one for many miles. Business as an occupation with this store is that the owner Dave buys things from a local warehouse that deals in large wallets and belt buckles. There are other small items Dave buys from the same person. So he is trying the product out and if it sells he will buy more, it they do not sell he will not be buying anymore because they will not sell so no profit or not very much of one.

In order to keep his profit margin to stay the same he goes up in his price to his customers. These are called transaction costs and they are a part of the business...

...Compare and Contrast Essay “Vacationing at the Beach or in the Mountains” By AJ Brammer People are always looking forward to their vacation period. There are many options where to choose. I think that the two most common places people choose for taking a vacation are the beaches and the mountains. Both places offer a variety of fun activities. The beach offers activities that the mountain cannot offer and vice versa. The mountain and the beach are totally different. The purpose of this essay is to contrast the climate, types of activities and locations of beaches and mountains. I’m going to discuss mountains first. The three aspects I’m going to discuss are climate, types of activities and location. Climate is always important in order to enjoy vacations. If a person dislikes cold weather, he or she might have a hard time in the mountains. The cold climate in the mountains is the first barrier to enjoying them, but the climate and the temperature of these zones also determine the types of activities they offer. Snowboarding, mountain climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and skiing are some activities people can enjoy when going to the mountains. There are many regions that have mountains where people can go and have a great vacation. Canada is a country located in North America and contains many mountain vacation sites where people can go and have fun. I’m going to discuss the beach second.

I can see an elderly couple walking a long the sand, a yellow labrador running happily ahead.The smooth weathered rocks of the cliff side whisper in the wind.The crisp seaweed pushed onto the rocks by the waves, lay baking at the sea's edge, occasionally moving with the tide. The clear blue sea's waves rattle the tiny pebbles embedded in the golden sand. The foam from the waves cover a small child's forgotten sandcastle, bringing it down with a dull crash. The high tide pushes back the crowd of people to the beach's edge. Ice cream stalls and candy floss stands wafts a sickly sweet smell of sugar to a group of little children, who pester their parents for an ice cream in loud, whining voices that carries across the beach. The clinking of glasses at the bar and the low hum of conversation mingle in with the loud seagull's squawking. The swooping of the gulls to capture food littered across the sand scare a couple of people into dropping their ice creams and hotdogs. The Smell of salt consumes me as the water splashes along the sandy...

This is due to the fact that they leave their debris on the shoreline or throw it in the sea. Debris is define by http://dictionary.reverso.net/ as fragnments or remnants of something destroyed or broken. The word beach is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as an area of sand or small stones near the sea or another area of water such as a lake. Therefore, based on the definition on both debris and beach, many users are unaware of how their daily activities, from driving a car, to not properly disposing of their garbage, or even throwing a cigarette butt on the ground, can impact the plants and animals off our shores.
