Cover slip

has been whether song “covers” of “authentic” rhythm & blues were an ethical or unethical practice. On the one hand, many will argue that these covers helped to distribute and promote the rhythm & blues musical movement, extending it to a much bigger audience. On the other hand, others will say that the covers were just another way for large record labels and big name artists to make money off the exploitation of the original artists. My own view is that the use of these covers is a part of the musical

If you’re a mechanic, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that you are in one of the most high-pressure areas of the trades industry. I mean, tradespeople generally have pretty stressful jobs, but few have more responsibility to their customers than a mechanic. When somebody leaves their car with you, they are not just trusting you with their automobile. They’re trusting you with their ability to get to work and their freedom to see the world. Without their car, they may lose their livelihood, miss

There is a belief in today’s society that grew from the past that a cover song is merely a copy or rip off of the original. This dilemma is discussed in an article by a man named Don Cusic, who has taught courses in the music business industry since the year of 1982 and is known as a pioneer in music business education. Cusic’s other accomplishments and credibility come from being an historian on country music, a scholar and writer known worldwide, author of over 209 books and 500 articles, and having

The keys to the company’s future value and growth are profitability (ROE) and the reinvestment of retained earnings. Retained earnings are determined by dividend payout. The spreadsheet sets ROE at 15% for the five years from 2006 to 2010. If Reeby Sports will lose its competitive edge by 2011, then it cannot continue earning more than its 10% cost of capital. Therefore ROE is reduced to 10% starting in 2011. The payout ratio is set at .30 from 2006 onwards. Notice that the long-term growth rate

Don Cusic argues in his article, “In Defense of Cover Songs,” that cover artists should be awarded the same legitimacy as songwriters, while critics believe otherwise, saying that singers should write their own music. Cusic believes that being a cover artist does not take away any credibility from he or she as an artist. Cover songs have existed for just as long as original music and they prove to be an outlet for singers who are not able to write their own songs. Even great music legends such as

School boards and teachers have a responsibility for protecting the minds of their students and covering age appropriate material. However, does this responsibility cover the extreme act of banning books from school classrooms? Does not the teacher have a duty to introduce to their students world issues in order to better the students ability to cope with problems in the world? How does a school decide which books should be banned from the classroom, and should it be left up to the teacher to decide

Would you trade your paperback books in for digital versions? Have you ever used an electronic textbook? Studies show that while young people are interested in e-readers, two-thirds of them do not want to give up traditional print books (Doyne 2010). Kids are growing up in a world where technology is all around them, it’s all they know. Technology influences everything we do, most people use it on a daily basis, so why not make it educational too? Many people use e-readers because they claim

People have always said not to judge a book by its cover. Well disregard that because in order to analyse a book cover, you have to judge it. The book And Then There Were None written by Agatha Christie has many book jackets, some enticing and some not, but there is one in particular that stands out.
