...Aaron Mikles 1/6/13 3rd Demiter They say bull riding is the most dangerous sport on dirt. In a lot of ways they are right a lot of people are injured and even killed. In bull riding they say its not if you get hurt its when and how bad. Bull riding has been around for a long time for a few hundred years. Bull riding is an exciting and an adrenaline pumping sport because of the history of bull riding, the way you are scored, and the safety of the rider and the bull. Bull riding has a long rich history, it can be traced back all the way to the early 1800’s. Cowboys would get together and have contests in things they normally do on a ranch like roping and trying to break horses, but you didn’t have to get on the back of a bull for no reason they just wanted to see who could do it and so began bull riding. The first formal rodeo was held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Bull riding quickly became the most watched and anticipated event at the rodeos. Cowboys were not organized the first union was called cowboys turtle association (CTA), in 1975 it became rodeo cowboys association (RCA) it later became Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), which is what it is known as today. Before 1992 bull riding was just one of the nine traditional events that took place on the PRCA circuit. In 1992 twenty of the top professional bull riders put up $1,000 each to launch the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit. Bull ridings first widely recognized stat was Dick Griffith...

...Marketing research is the process of defining a marketing problem and opportunity, systematically collecting and analyzing information, and recommending actions. The five step marketing research approach is a way of making decisions in marketing. The five steps include Defining the problem, developing the research plan, collecting relevant information, developing findings, and taking marketing actions. Constraints in a decision are the restrictions placed on potential solutions to a problem such as limitations on time and money. The difference between primary and secondary data is that primary data are facts and figures that are newly collected for the project, while secondary data are facts and figures that have previously been recorded. Some advantages of secondary data are the time savings, and the low cost. disadvantages of secondary data include that the secondary data may be out of date and the categories might not be right for the researchers project. The difference between observational and questionnaire data are that observational data can be collected by mechanical, personal, or neuromarketing methods, while questionnaire data are facts and figures that are obtained by asking people. Personal Interview provides the greatest flexibility. The difference between a panel and experiment is that a panel is a sample of consumers or stores from which researches take a series of measurements, while an experiment obtains data by manipulating factors under controlled...

...Discussion Questions: Chapter 8 1) It is advisable to borrow in order to take a cash discount when the cost of borrowing is less than the cost of foregoing the discount. 2) Larger firms tend to be in a net creditor position because they have the financial resources to be suppliers to credit. The smaller firm must look to the larger manufacturer or wholesaler to help carry the firm's financing requirements. 3) New banking laws allowed more competition and gave banks the right to expand across state lines to create larger, more competitive markets. They also increased bank mergers. 4) The prime rate is the rate that a bank charges its most creditworthy customers. The average customer can expect to pay one or two percent (or more) above prime. 5) LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. It is consistently below the prime rate. 6) The use of a compensating balance or minimum required account balance allows the banker to generate a higher return on a loan because not all funds are actually made available to the borrower. This benefit to the lender need not be a disadvantage to the borrower. The borrower may, in turn, receive a lower quoted interest rate and certain gratuitous services because of the compensating balance requirement. 7) Commercial paper can be either purchased or issued by a corporation. To the extent one corporation purchases another corporation's commercial paper as a short-term investment, it is a current asset....

...Materials and Processes Homework, Chapter 8 Review Questions Deborah Williams 10052014 1. Die casting needs more machining, 2 types, less likely are the shell process and the Shaw Process. 2. Wax and plaster of paris, jelly, sand. Shell molds use sand and plastic resin. Polystyrene in evaporative casting process. 3. Draft or taper 4. When metal solidifies from liquid it shrinks in inches/feet depending on metal. You have to leave enough extra metal to allow for shrinkage and machining. 5. Cores are the center (void) of a part. Used to produce a desired cavity. Mostly by compacting a sand mixture into the core box and curing it. 6. A crane hook needs to be able to safely handle a lot of weight, so I would use steel because it is stronger than cast iron and cast iron is a lot more brittle. 7. I would choose grey cast iron because the housing is a non-weight bearing part, it just needs to keep grease in and dirt out. The cast iron would be much cheaper to make and it doesn’t need to be remachined after either. Reducing production and labor cost. 8. I would use the shell process of sand casting. It will be much less expensive to make the molds, they can be re-used, and there would be no machining afterwards providing labor savings. 9. Used with permanent molds to make a shell of metal in the mold. Metal is poured in and allowed to solidify for a certain amount of time, used for hollow parts, not necessarily for strength. 10.

...8½ Produced by Angelo Rizzoli. Directed by Federico Fellini. Screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli, Ennio Flaiano, Brunello Rondi. Viewers expecting to sit back, relax and switch off for a couple of hours - this film is not for you. A barrage of dream sequences interrupted by brief encounters with endless characters; this is a piece of shamelessly self indulgent psychoanalysis on Fellini's part. Of course, this is exactly what he intended. The main character is that of Guido (played by Fellini himself) a director unable to complete his latest film and loosely based on the identity of his own creator (Fellini). Fellini has been able to achieve the effect of mise en abyme not only through the dream sequences but also with this being an autobiographical piece. Viewers are intentionally lulled into the false belief that they are watching a film about Fellini, not the character Guido. Throughout, obvious references to the films chaos and irregularities are made by characters through their criticism of the unfinished, fictional film. When giving Guido notes on his film, one character calls it 'a chain of gratuitous episodes' which pretty much describes Fellini's 8½ to perfection. In another scene Guido is criticised for his obsession with depicting 'Italy's Catholic conscience' which is also a reoccurring motif of Fellini's. He plays this game with the viewer by highlighting the inadequacies of his own film through the criticism of the fictional one. An endless array...

...oldwitchcraft.com 3 INTRODUCTION The science of numerology can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, early Christians, Mayans, and Incas all used some form of numerology to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold. (Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all calculations involving name.) There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to each name are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these numbers represents different characteristics and expressions. Master numbers are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning and/or achievement very often in a more stressful environment...

...The Concept of Program Reengineering J. Olivia Prince-Griffin PAD 500 Modern Public Administration Professor Popejoy May 19, 2012 Abstract This assignment will cover 4 specific areas as it relates to Mayor Schell’s unique initiative to eliminate homeless in Seattle. This report will cover Mayor Schell’s policies choices and their practical outcome. It will cover restructuring Mayor Schell’s program to fit new objectives. Lastly, the report will analyze the importance of conducting assessments prior to new program implementation. Introduction On June 2, 1998, Mayor Schell made a daunting pledge to the community regarding Seattle’s homeless population. He pledged that by Christmas of that year, there would be no more homeless on the streets of Seattle. During the following months Mayor Schell and his Director of the Community Services Division of the Department of Housing and Human Services, Alan Painter, diligently strategized on how to successfully meet this pledge while weighing all the applicable factors. Four Policy Choices of Mayor Schell At the time of Mayor Schell’s pledge, there was an estimated 5,500 homeless on the streets of Seattle nightly (Draft, 2010 pg.1). Of those, 1,300 were homeless while 4,200 had temporary housing (Draft, 2010, pg.1). At that point in time, Seattle had several local programs, such Operation Nightwatch, that assisted such ones with transitional living. One of the first policy choices Schell had make was to insure...

...Hanif Kureishi: The Decline of the West In a time where many people have gotten accustomed to having plenty of money and therefore buying a lot of stuff they do not actually need, a lot of these consumers have also experienced the downside of their materialism. The economic crisis has resulted in a lot of people losing their jobs, investments turning out badly and huge debts. But what happens when one of these individuals gets caught between a greedy family and his own desire to do what is right and stop spending money like there is no tomorrow? A desire emerging from not only being disgusted by the greedy consumerism but also from being laid off his job which forces him to take care of the family’s financial situation. This short story, The Decline of the West written in 2010 by the English writer Hanif Kureishi, deals with this theme and engages the reader in a brilliantly written story about a man who experiences the difficulties of the economic decline. Mike, a 45-year old man working in corporate finance, has been “stalked by good fortune [his] whole life” (l. 40) – at least that is what his father claims – but his luck turns when he is forced to dismiss his department of forty people and then get lost himself. Not ever having to worry about money before, his previous peace of mind is suddenly shattered to pieces. The short story starts in the middle of Mike getting ready to tell his wife the news but he is hindered in doing so when she does not even take the time to say...

...Public Housing in Urban Communities Abstract In this paper I will be discussing the many aspects of the public housing authorizes. Working for the Jersey City Housing Authority, I see first hand the many problems that are going on and also living in public housing I have seen the many ups and downs as well. For example, the budget cuts that are going on throughout the United States are causing more public housing to loose funding and are causing them to down size in staff and housing as well. Many of the public housing sites in the United States are privatizing because they don’t have the funding and staff to manage these sites that are considered to be severely distressed. What is public housing? According to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): Public housing was established to provide decent and safe housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all size and types, from scattered single family houses to high rise apartments for elderly families. There are approximately 1.2 million households living in public housing unites, managed by some 3,300 HAs. However, over the past few years public housing has changed. For example, there are less funding for public housing and now a lot of the public housing sites all over the United States are being privatized. In 1980, many changes started to occur in...

...This project was designed to address the housing needs for homeless/abused women and children and to find what funding is best suited for such a non profit endeavor. This research looks at the different aspects of public funding and private funding of non profits. This research draws upon mostly primarily sources such as interviews, books, articles, case studies. Most research was done on the reason that places women and children in the predicaments to put them in transitional housing and a look at “Ruth’s Place.” The goal for starting Ruth’s Place, a transitional home for women and children’s non-profit organization is to improving the future of women and children in the City of Philadelphia and Tri-State areas. After meeting with Directors of similar programs established in the City of Philadelphia, the goal of this research is to determine the need for another transitional home and the proper funding to create a program that will be effective in the lives of those we service. What is Transitional Housing? Transitional housing, sometimes called second stage housing, is a residency program that includes support services. Usually provided after crisis or homeless shelter, transitional housing is designed as a bridge to self-sufficiency and permanent housing. Residents usually remain from six months to two years, and are typically required to establish goals to work towards economic stability. Viewed along a continuum of services, transitional housing is placed...
