    The word “logistics” comes from the  French word logistique, from loger ‘to lodge’  in late 19th century in English.

    According to the Oxford dictionary  “Logistics” mens the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation.

    For example: “the logistics of a large-scale rock show demand certain necessities”

    * ” the activity of organizing the movement, equipment, and accommodation of troops.”
    noun: logistics

    * ” the commercial activity of transporting goods to customers.”
    “our fleet vehicle management system enables logistics firms to track deliveries using satellite technology”

    synonyms of the word logistics: organization, planning, plans, management, arrangement, administration, masterminding, direction, orchestration, regimentation, engineering, coordination, execution, handling, running; strategy, tactics

    Thanks.

  • Thanks for this questions. Now a days, it is noticed that most of the people are asking this types of questions. That means most of us don’t know about samsung galaxy j5. Already most of the people buy samsung galaxy j5  by misunderstanding. Now I’m trying to share about this topic from my own experience.
    I think, every one should buy a good quality samsung galaxy j5, because you should buy such a product that you can use for long time.
    I am one of those people who is not into paying exhorbitant amounts of money for a phone. All of my previous phones have been my siblings hand me downs and this is the first I ever purchase for myself. Me being me, I researched everywhere for what kind of phone will serve my purposes. Mostly I was aming for excellent camera that could photograph everything I have to show my coworkers later and also had a great reception for making and receiving calls in all seven floors of the hospital.

    This phone delivered.

    Not only am I super please with its performance at almost everything but I am amazed that one such phone can cost this price. And it has a high end finish and the gold color make it look amazing. Compared to my sister’s iPhone 6 I’d say it almost does everything she can do with hers. It’s light and sophisticated and has a quick response at everything I’ve done so far. Even better than hers is that this one holds two SIMs, which works perfectly with my life as I love to travel. So far I’ve tested two of my international SIMs and they both worked great.

    It’s also my first android phone ever. i was bought this phone from amazon.com, as I’d previously only used the iOS softwares I was expecting a nightmare. It wasn’t. It wasn’t also exactly breezy but the phone is not to blame for that. Also I was pleasently surprised with the amount of apps you can get. so you can buy samsung galaxy j5.

  • Thanks for this questions. Now a days, it is noticed that most of the people are asking this types of questions. That means most of us don’t know about DSLR  camera. Already most of the people buy DSLR  camera by misunderstanding. Now I’m trying to share about this topic from my own experience.
    I think, every one should buy a good quality DSLR  camera, because you should buy such a product that you can use for long time. For this you should follow some instructions to select your perfect DSLR  camera which generally I follow.

    At first, I brows all features of most popular brands DSLR  camera from Amazon.com carefully. Then I decide which DSLR  camera) I will buy. For example a few days ago I saw the products of all famous brands DSLR  camera for buying a DSLR  camera. In this case the demand generally varies. At present there is no limitation or any lack of the brands of DSLR  camera on the market. From these you can buy which one you prefer. A few days ago I bought an DSLR  camera But it doesn’t mean that others brands are bad. I would like to say, the brands which are not internationally popular I should not recommend you to buy. You can buy various kinds of products of popular brands DSLR  camera from the nearest store or Show Room.

    But at present, they offer you the products which have very poor quality DSLR  camera. I mean you will get non quality bad DSLR  camera in some show room but it looks very nice and they will tell you that it’s a very good DSLR  camera. Because if you buy a quality and original brands product, then they will get a few profit but if they can sell a non quality product, they will get a lot of profit. So you can easily understand that they do this for more profit and own selfishness.

    In this case, I will suggest you to buy your DSLR  camera or any product from world famous online store, Amazon.com. It is the trusted online platform where you can buy all kinds of products of any brands. I have bought my canon dslr camera from Amazon and I am fully satisfied to have the features that I wanted.

  • Thanks for your questions “Where can I find a restaurant with good reviews near me”?
    I think this questions is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.

    If you meant restaurants “near” you, there are actually many ways for you to find one with good reviews. First, ask your family or close friends for their suggestions— this is the most convenient way to find a quality restaurant. You could also download dining apps where you can search for nearby restaurants and read reviews about them. Another option is local online directories. This is a good option as local customers will review their local restaurants. For example, my favorite local listing site is Agenda Directory, Hello Hawkesbury. From their site, I’ve found a number of quality restaurants in surrounding towns and throughout the Hawkesbury region. I’m thankful I came across their site. I suggest you find a similar online site that caters for your area.

  • Thanks for your questions “What are the best vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Austin”?
    I think this questions vegetarian restaurant is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.

    Not all of these places are vegetarian. In no particular order:

    Mothers: Try the TLT with avocado. It’s like a tempeh burger. Ask for the nutty brown chipotle sauce with your chips and salsa. Mothers’ tofu enchiladas are also very good.

    Eastside Cafe: Their sides are so fresh and flavorful. The menu varies but their ravioli and their enchiladas are the best bet. They also have a brownie that you should get.

    Fonda San Miguel: Not at all vegetarian but fantastic tamales, enchiladas, and chips and salsa, to name a few vegetarian options. Also, has some of the best flour tortillas in town. Get the cajeta for dessert

    Somnio’s Cafe: Everything is local and there’s tons of vegan options too. The seasonal fry is great. For the longest time, its been sweet potatoes but Jay (the owner) told me that it’s going to be something else soon.

    Blue Dahlia Bistro: Terrific salads, especially the four cheese salad.

    House Pizza: Many many vegetarian pizzas, including the delicious rosemary potato and goat cheese pizza.

    Daily Juice: I really should not encourage their price gouging but their fruit bowl is scrumptious. If you had the money to pay $10 for a bowl of fruit, you’d never get scurvy.

    Abel’s on the Lake / Cain & Abel’s: This is as meatatarian as it gets but their saving grace is their black bean burger. It is one of the best I’ve ever had.

    Hoa Hoa: A Dobie mall favorite. They have the best tofu in town. Get the broccoli tofu with curry sauce. Surprisingly, PF Changs comes in second for overall tofu quality.

  • Thanks for your questions“How could I find a part time job as a waiter in a restaurant or a cafe in Los Angeles?” I think this questions resturent or cafe is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.

    It’s a noble ambition and I wanted to do this too when I came here. As Anonymous mentions, it’s illegal to work off-campus without permission from the Department of Homeland Security. If the restaurant or cafe is on-campus (not unusual), you won’t need permission (although you should still look up the rules in this case). The US government looks down heavily on international students working off-campus.

    By law the business needs to know your address and tax details (a Social Security number/ ITIN) in order to pay you legally. You can apply for these through the international student office at your college once you have a written letter from your prospective employer stating they’d like to hire you.

    Fear not: there are often lots of good on-campus jobs for you to take on, particularly in Los Angeles. Waiters don’t make a lot more than minimum wage, however – your best bet is to try to become a research assistant in a lab (this tends to pay highly) if you’re looking for high wages.

  • Thanks for your questions “How difficult is it to start a cafe, bakery, or restaurant business?” I think this questions restaurant or cafe is very important for all like yours.
    Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.

    My wife is in restaurant and bakery business for a few years now. Several of my friends and cousins own restaurants in US and India.
    Starting a cafe/bakery/restaurant (or any business for that matter) is not that difficult if you can put together the investment needed. Making it successful (“Execution” in business speak) is whole another matter. According to a hospitality industry research report, 60% of the restaurants fail or change hands within first 3 years.

    Initial investment to start a full-service restaurant widely varies. It can be anywhere between $200,000 to $2,000,000 to build a restaurant based on how much you want to spend on interiors and kitchen equipment etc… Cafes and bakery can cost much less. somewhere between $50,000 to $300,000

    Breakeven: I have seen some hospitality businesses break even within few months. I know some are still losing money after years of operation. First year is the very crucial for a hospitality business. That’s when reputations are made or lost. I think, a well located and well run restaurant should break even by the end of first year. A small fraction of restaurants make very good money. Vast majority of them lose money or barely break even.

    Challenges

    Oh boy! where do I start? There are lot of challenges in hospitality industry, some are unique to this industry.

    Partners: I have seen restaurants fail because partners can’t work together. This happens mostly because of contribution asymmetry. Usually, the roles are not clear. Some partners can add value like a great chef or a good manager. But, others may not have time, energy or skill. Make sure that roles are clear and compensation for the effort is clearly defined and agreed upon. It always helps to have an outside trusted advisor.
    Decision making process among partners: Lot of small businesses don’t have a well defined decision making process.
    Location: Location is extremely important for any retail business. Customers have lots of options. I have seen mediocre restaurants survive because of location. E.g. some average Indian restaurants in small towns do well because it’s the only game in town. Some decent restaurants didn’t survive because there are 10 restaurants that serve similar food within two miles.
    Spending too much money before restaurant starts: This happened to us. Hospitality business has high fixed costs like payroll, rent, utilities and other services. You need to have enough money for operating expenses because it’s very difficult to estimate when you break even.
    Family life goes out of the window: Hospitality is very high touch business. you can’t leave it on employees. The owner needs to be present almost all the time at least until it establishes. You will be spending 70 hours a week on business. Keep in mind that you will be busy when your family wants to spend time with you the most. You will be extremely busy in the evenings and weekends. I don’t get to spend time with my wife on valentine’s day because that’s a busy day for restaurants. Our social life changed drastically because my wife is busier just when my family and friends want to spend time together 🙁
    Your specialty: You got to have your own specialty. Your restaurant name should pop into customer’s mind when they are in mood for a certain type of food.
    Customer service: You are not selling a household product. You are selling an experience. Experiences appeal to human emotions more strongly than physical products. This is most important for a hospitality business. In my opinion, this is more important than taste of food. Majority of customers want to try new restaurants. So, you always get an opportunity to prove yourself. But, you only get one opportunity to please them.
    Cashflow: You need to be extremely careful with your cashflow. Your payroll is your biggest expense. More than inventory and rent. Keep it on leash.
    Your brand and marketing: Brand is everything for hospitality business. You need to create positive buzz. The positive buzz takes on a life of its own.
    People management: Hospitality business has high employee turnover. It takes a lot of time to train new employees. You need to have a very cool head. Imagine a scenario where all the following are happening at the same time:
    Restaurant is busy in the evening
    Everyone is tired
    a customer is unhappy and creating a scene
    5 other tables are waiting for food
    Food runner is putting pressure on the chef
    Some equipment stopped working
    Tempers are rising
    Chef is screaming on line cook
    You just happened to see a bad review of yelp for no fault of yours
    Dishwasher just quit on you
    Stuff like this happens more often than you think.

    The most important challenge is “Hospitality business is not right for you”: I know lot of people that regretted getting into this business. Hospitality business appeals to a lot of people because it’s such a common personal experience. We all cook at home. We know how much it costs. We pay a lot more at the restaurant for food that sometimes may not appeal to our taste buds. It’s very easy for the customers to notice what is wrong with a restaurant and easy to come to a conclusion that they can do a better job. Hospitality business looks very glamourous as well. This business is not right for you, unless you are very passionate about this business, You have something valuable to contribute, don’t mind working 70 hours a week, don’t mind not having work life balance and don’t mind not making lot of money.

  • Thanks for your questions “Are Yelp reviews useful for finding a great cafe or restaurant”? I think this questions cafe or restaurant is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.

    I answered a similar question on Quora a while back, and I think most of the content of my reply still applies.  I’ve pasted it below, with a few updates and modifications.  In a nutshell, I still think that Yelp reviews are not very useful for finding a great cafe or restaurant for a number of reasons, mostly relating to the reasons people have for posting reviews, and the lack of expertise of the reviewing population.  Here’s the previous answer:

    One big problem with Yelp is the psychology involved when submitting reviews.  Generally speaking, there are clusters of people who post reviews on the site.  One group are people who are avid Yelpers.  They spend a lot of time on the site, and post many reviews.  This is a very specific subset of people, and doesn’t have any relation to how much they know about food.  Apart from the avid Yelpers, the main reason people will bother to review a restaurant is to either rant or rave.  If a restaurant is average, most people (apart from avid Yelpers) won’t bother to post.  They’ll only post if they’re angry about a specific experience (very common) or had an amazing one.  This type of polarization greatly skews the information, and makes it not representative of the actual quality of the restaurant.  And a large number of the rants have to do with service issues or personality conflicts/personal problems, so they aren’t motivated by the quality or taste of the food necessarily.

    Another big problem is the lack of curating for expertise.  It’s difficult to know objectively which reviews come from people who know a lot about food (or have tastes and priorities similar to yours).  Just because a restaurant appeals to a “foodie” expert, doesn’t mean it will seem great to the average person and even more so vice versa.

    Lastly, Yelp will usually have a notable bias against high end restaurants, due to the fact that there will always be some people who simply resent paying that much for meal, and for whom it would be impossible to construct a meal that costs that much.  While some people who are really into food might appreciate a place, those who aren’t as into it will not.  It’s like sending someone to watch an opera who has no interest in the form.  It will be like torture for them, and just make them angry.  At the very least, those reviewers will often set the bar unrealistically high for expensive restaurants because of the chip on their shoulder.

    I also agree with other posters about the lack of weighting being an issue.

    So between the lack of expertise, the predominance of personal issues, rants and raves on the site, and the inherent sampling biases, Yelp is a pretty poor restaurant review source.  I suggest trying eGullet or Chowhound if you’re looking for a more enthusiast-oriented audience.  Even if you’re not a gourmet, you’ll at least be getting POVs from people who are passionate about food, and not just there to vent.

    Thanks for your questions. If you find this answer is useful for you then share with your friends on facebook, twitter and google plus. If you do not get your answer clearly then ask me again below or comment on my answers.

  • Thanks for your question. I think if you are not going to make big posters on a regular basis, you should not need to worry about megapixel because you can not found the difference when looking at images on a screen or when you have printed them out.

    I think you should buy the 30X zoom. You can get much better detail and zoom in much more and get much better pictures with cannon 30X zooming camera. In this camera, the texture of different objects with a 30X zoom. You can not do that with a 16X zoom because the amount you can zoom is largely limited I think.

    We know, when we use a camera is 14MP, each picture of the camera will be like 2MB in size. So many people try to say that a camera with more megapixel is a better camera. They say that because they know that the most of the people only know about digital cameras so they are trying to spread this among the general people.

    I again say that the difference of 16 mega pixels and 12.8 mega pixels is a big difference. But 30X and 16X optical zoom are a big difference I think. So, you should buy the canon that has 12.8 megapixels and 30x optical zoom. Hope you find your answer.
    Thank you
