Monica Carter's piece on Mr Dick or The Tenth Book is the latest addition to our review section.
In addition to checking our Monica's review, I'd also recommend checking out her recently redesigned web publication Salonica World Lit. Included in this redesign—which looks great—is an announcement about E. Lire an online literary journal she's launching that will include translated works of fiction, poetry, essays, and literary criticism. Click the link above for more details.
Mr Dick is French bookseller Jean-Pierre Ohl's debut novel and was released by Dedalus Books earlier this year. Translated from the French by Christine Donougher, the book has received some nice attention in the UK, including this interview with the author.
Monica's review confirms that this is an interesting book worth checking out:
Jean-Pierre Ohl has written a novel that is at once a curious and adept mix of homage to Charles Dickens, send-up of literary scholarship, and mystery. Generally, I'm leery of books based on literary figures or borrowing heavily from a previous book to bolster a premise, but Mr. Ohl, a bookseller from Bordeaux, France, manages to rise above the common pitfalls of not only a first novel, but of other devices used when one exploits a classic text. Mr Dick or the Tenth Book is inspiring and challenging with its eclectic mix of narrators—François Daumal, the down-trodden boy turned seemingly failed scholar who is obsessed with Dickens, Évariste Borel whose journal tells of his time spent with Dickens during his final days, and Arthur Conan Doyle's account of a séance where Wilkie Collins and Robert Louis Stevenson are present to contact the spirit of Dickens himself—that keep us guessing even when we are not sure what we are guessing about. . . .
Click here for the rest of the review.
We just got Ohl's Mr Dick or The Tenth Book in for review, and after reading this piece in The Guardian I'm pretty sure we'll be covering it in the near future.
Monsieur Dick, Ohl's first novel, came out in France four years ago and has won three literary prizes. The English translation has just been published by Dedalus as Mr Dick. "How do you think that title will be received in Britain?" the author asks me, understanding all too well the potential snigger factor. Mr Dick is a character from David Copperfield and Ohl's book is in many ways a homage to Dickens. It is the story of two young Frenchmen whose lives are consumed by their obsession with Dickens's life and books and in particular his final, unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It's a playful and highly literary detective story, like a Gallic mélange of Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes and AS Byatt's Possession. [. . .]
The one aspect of British life that Ohl doesn't appreciate, however, is the current state of the nation's bookshops. "Things are bad in France," he admits. "It's difficult for independent booksellers here. But in Britain, the situation is catastrophic."
Before lunch, I visit the bookshop where Ohl works, Librairie Georges, in Talence, near Bordeaux. It is not, as I expected, an old-fashioned, cave-like place, with books stacked in high, random piles all over the floor; indeed, it looks superficially like many modern bookshops. It is large, well lit and has a cafe at the front. Dig a little deeper, though, and the differences are obvious.
For a start, Ohl, who runs the literature section, has a considerable influence over which books (and how many copies of each) his shop buys in and displays. He chooses them not on the basis of how much the publishers pay him for shelf space (as is the case with certain UK chains) but by actually reading them.
Throughout the shop, you can see books labelled with paper of three different colours: green for "recommended", orange for "highly recommended" and purple for "coup de coeur" – the books that have most thrilled or moved or made the bookshop's workers laugh. Ohl and his four assistants also give regular "literary breakfasts", where readers come to drink coffee and eat croissants and listen while the booksellers tell them about the best books they have read in the past few months. The morning I was there, 30 people turned up – male and female, young and old – and listened for two hours, many asking questions and taking notes. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing you're likely to see in Waterstone's or Borders these days.
Or in many U.S. bookstores . . . A literary brunch at an indie store (or public library) where readers could get staff recommendations and talk about new books would be frickin' fantastic . . .
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .
There's little to say about a series of prose poems that willfully refuse to identify pronoun antecedents. Or perhaps there are a million things. The poems in Morse, My Deaf Friend— the chapbook by Miloš Djurdjević published by Ugly Duckling. . .
The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .

The Brooklyn Nets reached the postseason for the first time since the 2007 season after suffering through 3-straight seasons of under 25 wins, including a league worst 70 losses just four seasons ago. The season, by most standards, would be considered a success, and it happened with an interim coach in PJ Carlesimo. However, a loss in the first round in seven games to a Chicago Bulls team decimated by injuries was not good enough for Russian billionaire-owner Mikhail Prokhorov. Carlesimo was fired over the weekend, and GM Billy King has been given instructions to shoot high in the coaching search. Those names include legendary coach Phil Jackson, and former long-time Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, according to a report in the NY Post. Jackson has reportedly stated that he is ready to return to coaching, but is in the process of consulting with the Pistons for their head coach opening. Anyone would obviously love to land Jackson, but it often is reported that the only two landing spots in his future are the Lakers and the Knicks. However, both appear to be unlikely for the time being. The Lakers appear ready to move forward with Mike D'Antoni for another season, [...]

2008 Chrysler Sebring Q&A
2008 Chrysler Sebring Question: air filter box clips failing and box replacement
My clips on the air filter box went bad, I told my dealer that I needed them replaced and/or repaired. Gave them a coupon for 20% off repair price, they came back and told me their was stated that it didnt need repair. Now my box is broke and dust got in my engine. I think my mechanic caught this on time before major damage was done although some damage has occured. My question is how much is the box going to cost. And is the dealer liable. I am really upset with them they should have fixed it when I asked the first time. - mydexter

Semiconductor devices and a fabricating method therefore are disclosed. One example method includes forming a buffer oxide layer and a buffer nitride layer on the top surface of a semiconductor substrate; forming a photoresist pattern on the pad nitride layer and forming a trench by etching the buffer nitride layer, the buffer oxide layer and the semiconductor substrate by a predetermined etch using the photoresist pattern as a mask; forming sidewall floating gates on the lateral faces of the trench; depositing polysilicon on the entire surface of the resulting structure; forming a gate electrode by patterning the polysilicon of the resulting structure; removing the buffer nitride layer and forming a poly oxide layer on the exposed part of the polysilicon of the gate electrode; forming source/drain regions by implanting impurities into the predetermined part of the resulting structure; injecting electric charges into the sidewall floating gates; and forming spacers on the lateral faces of the sidewall floating gates and the gate electrode.
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a gate electrode on a trench in a semiconductor substrate;
a second gate oxide layer in the trench between the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate;
sidewall floating gates on the lower part of the lateral faces of the gate electrode;
a first gate oxide layer formed in the trench between the sidewall floating gates and a portion of the semiconductor substrate along the bottom of the trench;
a second block oxide layer between the gate electrode and the sidewall floating gates;
source and drain regions around a portion of the sidewall floating gates in the trench, wherein the source region is provided at one side of the trench and the drain region is provided along the same horizontal plane at the opposite side of the trench, and wherein the source region is elevated to the same level as the drain region;
a channel formed below a bottom of the trench;
spacers on a portion of the lateral faces of the sidewall floating gates above the trench and on the lateral faces of the gate electrode; and
a first block oxide layer formed on lateral sides of the trench between the sidewall floating gates and the semiconductor substrate and extending along the lateral sides of the sidewall floating gates between the spacers and the sidewall floating gates.

The present disclosure relates generally to semiconductor devices and, more particularly, to semiconductor devices and fabrication methods thereof.
Flash memory devices, which are nonvolatile memory devices, can maintain data in memory cells even if electric power is removed from the device. Additionally, flash memory devices may be electrically erased at high speeds on a circuit board.
The technologies for the flash memory devices have continuously advanced by developing various cell structures such as stacked gate cells, split gate cells, source side injection cells and etc. U.S Pat. No. 5,455,792 describes such various cell structures.
The stacked gate cell configuration includes a floating gate and a control gate formed on the floating gate. U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,787 describes one embodiment of the stacked gate cell. Referring to
On the other hand, U.S. Pat. No. 5,358,885 discloses a method for fabricating a T-shaped gate electrode (i.e., the upper part of the gate electrode is larger than the lower part of the gate electrode) for reduced resistance between the T-shaped gate electrode and a source region. Korean Patent Publication No.2003-51038 discloses a method for fabricating a T-shaped gate electrode by forming damascene structures and, particularly, a method for preventing the deterioration of a metallic salicide layer in a later thermal process and reducing the resistance of the T-shaped gate electrode by enlarging the area for the metallic salicide layer on the gate electrode.
According to conventional methods, dopants in source and drain extension regions are diffused toward a channel region by a later thermal treatment. Thus, if the width of a gate electrode is less than 0.06 micrometers (μm), the source region will be connected to the drain region. Thus, a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor is virtually impossible to achieve. Moreover, even if the width of the gate electrode is more in width than 0.06 μm, the depth of the source and drain junctions have to be less than 10 μm, therefore causing serious short channel effects. In addition, as the design size of a transistor decreases, the depth of the source and drain junctions has to be proportionally shallow, thereby causing several problems such as parasitic resistances and junction leakages due to the silicide layer later formed on the shallow source and drain regions.
Accordingly, various elevated source and drain structures have been suggested to solve such problems in conventional arts. However, the elevated source and drain structures require additional selective epitaxial processes, thereby increasing manufacturing cost, and presenting difficulties in the implementation of a manufacturing process.
Disclosed herein are methods for forming extremely narrow source and drain extension regions, that suppress the occurrences of the short channel effect in a nano-scaled MOS transistor.
Referring to
Referring to
Referring to

Referring to
As disclosed herein, such a structure and process for fabricating the structure can suppress the short channel effects by forming the trench on the semiconductor substrate and the virtual source and drain extension regions with a width between 5 nm and 10 nm regardless of the thickness of the silicide layer. In addition, instead of forming source and drain extension regions by an ion implantation, as disclosed herein the virtual source and drain regions are formed as the strong inversion layer, therefore preventing leakage current due to diminution of BVdss value and the connection of the source region and the drain region during a later process. Moreover, the disclosed structure can form a thick silicide layer, thereby minimizing parasitic resistance and junction leakages and fabricating nano-scaled transistors.
It is noted that this patent claims priority from Korean Patent Application Serial Number 10-2003-0101101, which was filed on Dec. 31, 2003, and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Although certain example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture have been described herein, the scope of coverage of this patent is not limited thereto. On the contrary, this patent covers all methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture fairly falling within the scope of the appended claims either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.

Maple Leaf fans turn home into Blue and White shrine
Leafs fans honk as they drive by the Adamson house in Leaside. That's because the Toronto semi is covered in Leafs gear.
|Report an Error

Share via Email
You'd think Mike and Sara Adamson's neighbours would be annoyed by all the drivers who honk as they pass their Leaside area house.
But no.
The whole street seems to have Maple Leafs fever — and so nobody seems to mind all the cars slowing down and horns tooting in appreciation of how the modest Adamson semi has become a shrine to the home team.
From the front door to the driveway, the façade has been decked out with blue-and-white flags, throw cushions, signs, lights, pucks, a mini Stanley Cup, signed jerseys and sticks, a Muskoka chair marked for the Toronto Leafs' No. 1 one fan, bird feeders, even a colour-appropriate hydrangea.
Some passers-by even pose for pictures in the Muskoka chair, the Adamson Leaf freak flags flying in the background.
"Everybody loves it," says Mike who, like Sara, is a teacher.
"Neighbours have been introducing themselves," she explains, showing off her Tie Domi-signed jersey.
Toronto native Sara is a life-long Leafs fan but Mike came to the team after moving from Montreal.
"I was a Habs fan as a little boy but, back then, there was no satellite, no Internet, no way to watch the Canadiens here," he recalls, a clear example of how there's no devotee like a convert.
The couple has been true blue since their first date when Sara told Mike that she was a fan. Skeptical, he challenged her to name three players.
"And then she said, 'What era?'" he laughs, remembering his amazement at her knowledge.
Naturally, for the Adamsons, like Leafs fans everywhere, the past decade has been rough. Their collection of memorabilia "sat in boxes and collecting dust — and a few mice" while they waited for the team to make the playoffs.
In the meantime, they added to their collection which started with just one sign. The Muskoka chair, for example, was a gift from Mike's students. And, because they taught some players' children over the years, they were able to score those autographed jerseys.
Says Sara, "It's been good for community spirit."
"And nothing has been stolen," adds Mike.

Hula Dog® is a unique Hawaiian experience. In a specially baked, bun sized loaf of bread we pierce a "Puka" from one end through most of the length of the bun. Hula Dog reinvents the identity of the American hot dog.
The sweet essence of local fruits is combined with the mellow warmth of our garlic, lemon sauces to contrast with the savory taste of a polish sausage. Therefore, not only do we provide a hotdog that not only presents a totally new taste sensation, but one that must be held differently too. In addition, we employ our own uniquely designed equipment to toast a Puka (hole) in the bread and keep the polish sausages separate from the veggies. With bright colorful murals, and painted tables & chairs, we present our dinning experience in a tropical Bamboo little hut setting to follow the idea of a Hawaiian influence in our products. In this we hope to reach the world that our hotdogs have a Hawaiian accent.
At Hula Dog Hawaiian Style Hot Dogs we take our mission to deliver a unique hot dog experience very seriously. Hula Dog is a new power in comfort food that will forever be linked to Hawaii. For many it is a fond memory of their visit, for others it is an opportunity to learn and grow by a solid work ethic and community service. We apply a special focus on training young people to work as a team and to be aware of the needs of their communities. Hula Dog® is about the basics of friendly people who provide good service and are cheerful and fun to be around. We care about the nurture and sustainability of the planet and try to implement policies that reflect 'Green' virtues in our standard operating procedures. Caring about the neighborhood and 'doing one's best' is a down home quality that we believe in.
Therefore, we have redefined the basic idea of the American hotdog tradition into one of tropical translation that celebrates the splendor of the Hawaiian Islands. The buns we use are unlike anything else known in the industry and the style of our shops is to reflect an appreciation for all that is good about Hawaii. So we strive to make our hot dogs memorable, our shops nostalgic of 'Old Hawaii' and our service casual but excellent. In all that we do, we seek to reflect the ambiance of the islands through our presentation, so that the customer may not only feel satisfied, but transformed by the simple charm of all that is Hula Dog.

di'lishi is the creation of Marlo Francis from Asheboro, NC. Her first experience with frozen yogurt came after her son told her about discovering the self-serve concept in a neighboring state when he left for college - and he was eager for her to try it when she planned her next visit. Before that could happen, though, Marlo happened upon a bar for herself, while travelling to a larger city near her hometown. After several repeat visits - including eventually traveling to see her son and trying the yogurt bar in his college town, it didn't take long before she began dreaming about opening a shop of her own - one that reflected her unique interpretation of the concept. She wanted to create an environment that invited people to come in and stay awhile. She wanted to serve the finest yogurt and toppings that she could find, as well as a way to regularly contribute to the community around her.
After all of her hard work, the result was di'lishi! She built her model on what have become the three foundational pillars of the company: good for the body, good for the environment and good for the community. With these pillars firmly in place, di'lishi has been a success from the start! Fortifying these three pivotal pillars has made di'lishi, what Marlo calls, "fro-yo recession-proof" - meaning it's built to stand the test of time, instead of being just another quick cookie cutter following a trend. We, at di'lishi, are firm believers in our product and concept - and we are committed to helping you make your store profitable today and in the future.
The decision to throw my 'cup' into the ring came after a lot of research and a growing belief that even though the market was becoming riddled with new chains and independent shops - they were all essentially playing follow the leader. Small stores clustered in big cities... limited variety... shockingly bright... or feminine... or childlike... and yet, all of them drawing a decent crowd because of the trend. So I asked myself - what did these shops have to offer their customers at the end of the trend? Could I create a unique interpretation that would outlast the trend and provide my customers with an experience that would bring them back day after day and year after year... and if so, what would that look like? As these questions rolled around under my big hair, they found answers, and once the answers grew wings, di'lishi was born. - Marlo Francis
Dr. Todd Williams, Owner - di'lishi frozen yogurt bar, Southern Pines, NC

AVS Aeroskin
Reviewed By Harold N (Slidell, LA) —7/1/2015 9:32 PM
I replaced the bug shield on my 2013 Chevy Suburban with AVS Aeroskin. I was in a hurry and the right side dropped a little lower that the left side it was stuck forever. I had to shave a little of the bottom on the right side to match the Left. But I was impressed that Lund responded to my email and made sure that I was satisfied with their product. Very satisfied with AutoAnything and my aeroskin.
No wind noise !!

The first bug deflector I purchased for my 2013 Silverado was a Weathertech. It was making so much wind noise I eventually had to remove it. I talked to Arron at Auto Anything and he recomended a Lund. No more wind noise. Thank you Arron and Auto Anything.

CROHN'S DISEASE AND PREGNANCY Inheritance Familial disorder, although doesn't follow a classic Mendelian genetic disease. 5% chance for a child of a mother or father with Crohn's disease. 37% if both parents are sick. Fertility Terminal ileitis or colitis decreases fertility due to: • Inflammation or scarring of adjacent organs: fallopian tubes or ovaries. • Adhesions. • Dyspareunia (perianal disease). • Fear. • Malnutrition. • Sulfasalazine (reduces sperm count and motility). Effect of Crohn's on pregnancy If a woman is doing well and is in remission, the pregnancy should proceed smoothly. Active disease is likely to proceed during pregnancy. Inactive IBD – risk for stillbirth, abortion or congenital anomalies is not greater than general population. IBD doesn't affect maternal pregnancy related complications. Effect of Pregnancy on Crohn's The activity of IBD at conception is the primary predictor of the course of pregnancy. Clinical course of de novo diagnosis of Crohn's disease during pregnancy is unpredictable. Unwanted pregnancy associated with 38% increase in disease activity compared to 12% in planned pregnancies. Previous pregnancies are not a good indicator. Better course when mother and child have different alleles in HLA-DR, DQ. Childbearing history may predict a better outcome. Clinical Assessment Differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in pregnancy: • GERD • Cholelithiasis • Pancreatitis • Toxemia • Pregnancy related • Normal changes in bowel habits. A patient might feel well despite on-going disease activity as determined by CRP, colonoscopy or GI series. 78 Diagnosis to rely more on clinical symptoms and less laboratory (Hb ↓, Alb ↓, ESR ↑) Sonography and magnetic resonance are safe, X-ray is not, and should be used according to clinical necessity (complications). Sigmoidoscopy – harmless, Colonoscopy – necessitates fetal monitoring as might induce labor. Medical Therapy Active disease and not therapy poses the greatest risk to pregnancy. Goals: Establishing remissions before pregnancy, maintaining remission during pregnancy. Safety of IBD medications during pregnancy Safe when indicated Limited data Contraindicated Mesalamine (oral,topical) Olsalazine Methotrexate Sulfasalazine Azathioprine Thalidomide Corticosteroids 6-Mercaptopurine Diphenoxylate TPN Cyclosporine Loperamide Metronidazole1 Ciprofloxacin1 Infliximab 1 safe after the first trimester Delivery Basically an obstetric decision. Active perianal Crohn's disease may be exacerbated by vaginal delivery. 18% of Crohn's disease patients without previous perineal disease develop such after vaginal delivery usually after extensive episiotomy. Surgery Elective – uncommon. Safest – at the second trimester. Indications identical to nonpregnant: • obstruction • perforation • abscess • bleeding Continued maternal illness poses greater risk to the fetus than surgical intervention. What is best for the mother is ultimately best for the fetus. Surgical procedures: subtotal colectomy ± ileostomy, hemicolectomy, segmental resections. Primary anastomosis carries a greater risk of postoperative complications, and thus temporary ileostomy is generally preferred. If fetus is mature, cesarean section and bowel resection should be done simultaneously. 79 Conclusions: • Fertility is affected by active Crohn's Disease. • Adverse fetal outcomes are not increased when IBD is quiescent. • Active disease at conception, increases the risk of adverse fetal outcome. • Most medications for IBD are safe during pregnancy, with notable exceptions. • Active disease is unusual, more deleterious than maintaining medical therapy.

The Delhi Police is asking people for suggestions to revamp the PCR vans of their North East unit. Here's what Delhi's designers would want them to look like.
The government, not operators, should bear the cost of setting up a telecom network for routing calls on priority for persons involved in rescue and relief operations, Trai said.
It may be the era of smartphones, tablets and smartwatches, but nothing beats the convenience of a mobile office, which can be irresistible from inside.
Depending on success of Moto Care Van in Delhi, Motorola would consider operating such vans in other parts of India, a top company official said.
This is the second round of investment by Van Herk Group. It had earlier in July last year invested in the equity capital of VBHC, the company said in a statement.
He is currently under contract at United until June 2016, but rumours have been rife of late that the club wants to sell the forward at the end of the season.
Actress Emily VanCamp will return as Sharon Carter in the third installment of "Captain America". In the comics, Sharon is Peggy Carter's niece.
Paul van Ass admits that the team has faced penalty corner issues in the absence of injured drag flicker Rupinder Pal Singh.

'The Voice' Recap
After a very, very long "here's what happened last night on The Voice" montage sequence, Christina Aguilera took the stage with her team for a medley tribute of Janet/Michael Jackson songs. Although we can't dispute the awesomeness of the Jackson family, it once again felt like an odd choice for a group number, and not very relevant. Are the coaches all getting too old to relate to current, modern pop hits? (Sorry, coaches, but you're no spring chickens.)

Tonight's live results show of 'The Voice' featured a new twist that has been buzzed about for the past several days: Twitter users will now have a chance to save their favorite singer from the bottom three. For the first time ever, fans of the show can jump on Twitter and use the hashtag #VoiceSave along with the name of the singer they wish to save from elimination, within a very limited 5-minute window. This new "Instant Save" curveball will certainly change the outcome of the show, and along with all the other 'Voice' fans out there, we were eager to see how it would play out on tonight's episode.

New Job Musings
That's my Bustle bio on my author page. Yeah, I have one of those now. To say I'm enjoying this new job is a bit of an understatement. I mean, I'm getting paid to write - 5 days a week, AND I'm not just wrting paragraphs of text or content about something I don't care about. I have bylines, people. In cyber-world terms, I'm writing for the fashion and beauty section of a women's magazine. It's just not in print.
I definitely want to say thanks to all of you who are supporting my articles by commenting on my facebook posts and sharing my pieces. It makes me smile ear to ear to know you guys are actually liking my stuff. The majority of my work are my own ideas approved by my editor. This position as a shift writer is definitely stretching my creativity since I have to submit three articles each working day. It's nice when I get the occasional assignment though. Who knew I had so many thoughts about fashion and beauty related things? All that binge watching of America's Next Top Model and the countless magazines I buy has come in handy now!
The one thing I'm missing about this job as I work from home is the community that comes with a work environment. There are lots of writers in my section scattered all over the U.S. My editor and the whole editorial team for Bustle work out of the website's office in New York City. And I sit at my desk at home or in the coffee shops around town chatting online with my editor each shift as I work on my articles. I have the opportunity to connect with my fellow writers on twitter, but it's definitely not the same as sharing an office with your colleagues. I'd imagine a writing environment for a website like Bustle would be quite cool.
But working from home definitely has its perks. I'm always comfortable: I can wear whatever I want. I'm mobile: I'm taking this job with me to North Carolina when we move (which is in less than two weeks!). It couldn't have come at a better time. I mean, even though I'm in transition, it's a wonderful source of income through the transition. It's just further proof that I am always taken care of by such a good Father.
I'm thrilled to see where this will take me from here. It seems I had to wait for something like this for such a long time, but I can only imagine that it's just going to get better and better, which is always what patience and perseverance brings.

IBM: Ordering Midrange Computers in Europe
Andrew McAfee; Michael Otten
Price: $6.93
This case is accompanied by a Video Short that can be shown in class or included in a digital coursepack. Instructors should consider the timing of making the video available to students, as it may reveal key case details.
IBM Europe is trying to expand business-to-business (B2B) efforts with its large distributors of midrange systems. These efforts aim to automate many transactions and business processes, removing the need for human involvement. IBM has completed an initial project with the German company Magirus; this project automated the transmission of midrange system orders for Magirus' internal information systems to IBM's systems. The leaders of the IBM effort face two principal challenges: accelerating the pace of subsequent efforts and convincing more distributors to take part.

Business to business; Computer systems; Customer relationship management; Information systems; Information technology; International business; Marketing channels
