...Implement Entertainment Concepts Project Surgical Stryke, the Army Band’s rock group, will be performing at a recruiting mission at Steele High School in Cibolo, TX. The rock band will be performing in the cafeteria, during the student’s lunchtime. The lunch periods will run 25 minutes with 10 minute breaks in-between. The band will perform at all three lunch periods. I will send out a publicity packet to the High school three weeks before the performance. There will be a cover letter thanking the school for inviting us to perform. It will also confirm the performance date and time, as well as list the anticipated arrival time of the group for set up and sound check. All of my contact information will be included for any questions or changes that may arise. A copy will be sent to the area recruiter and all correspondence with the school will be coordinated with the recruiter. This publicity packet will include posters/flyers to display throughout the school, an information packet on the band itself with biographies of the members, and a technical spec sheet explaining the power and space requirements of the group.

...of the fashion world with the best of the discount world, a quality store with quality merchandise at discount prices, and a discount supermarket...75 departments in all. Shopping at this new store will be fun, delightful and welcoming to the entire family. The stores will include wide aisles, easy-to-shop displays, fast checkout and, loads of well-lighted parking. A man by the name of Stewart K. Widdess was tasked to name and define this new retail store. Widdess and his staff debated more than 200 possible names (Target). In a burst of red-and-white inspiration, they come up with "Target" and immediately envision a classic Bullseye logo. The reasoning behind the choice was, "As a marksman's goal is to hit the center bulls-eye, the new store would do much the same in terms of retail goods, services, commitment to the community, price, value and overall experience" (Target). On May 1, 1962, Target's first grand opening was in Roseville, Minn. It was marketed as a "new idea in discount stores. Target differentiates itself from other retail stores by combining many of the best department store features, fashion, quality and service, with the low prices of a discounter. Created as, "a store you can be proud to shop in, a store you can have confidence in, a store that is fun to shop and exciting to visit," By the end of 1962, Target opens additional locations in St. Louis Park, Crystal and Duluth, Minnesota (Target). In the late 1960s, Target expands across the country to the...

... Burnout on-the-job usually happens in human service work in high stress environment and has signs of emotional fatigue, exhausted, doubt of professional achievements and feelings of disconnection from clients. A worker wanting to climb the ladder of the organization after a short time may show “the type A personality” wanting to move away from clients and be in this for power and more money. Besides burnout poor attitude in the vision or mission with a competitive, non- trusting attitude quickly will bring an employee to burnout signs. The burned out staff has client problems displayed by the employee, developing multiple issues with clients, and negativity. The cause can be work related problems such as high case load, lack of choices and autonomy, lack of rewards, disrespect, and belief discrepancies among the team. Burnout is added to by events at work, such as a supervisor lack of participation in supporting the employees, who may experience burnout also. A lack of employee involvement in team planning, problem-solving, and lack of motivation from peers and management or cultural problems with not having opportunities of growth or a sense of appreciation may cause downward dispositions. Many organizations are cutting back staff and the concern according to this article (Business Magazine, 1994) the “Employees who survive staff cuts, beleaguered by overwork and long hours, face a high potential for employee burnout, says 85 percent of...

The first reason I think the year round schedule is horrible is because we lose vacation time.If we had only 6 short weeks of summer everyone would go on vacation at the exact same time and it would be all packed.We would we stressing out about studying while weŕe trying to have fun at the beach.It would be challenging for teachers because instead of having a great time with their family, they are sitting in their bed grading papers.

...Being a college student isn’t all fun and games. When I graduated from high school and began preparing for college, I didn’t think college would be like it is. I was told college would be all fun and excitement. It would be the time when you find out who you are as a person. Little did I know, when someone is gassing you up about something, they tend to leave things out that would make you not want to participate. Don’t get me wrong, college is fun, and it is a time were you learn yourself the most; it’s also a very stressful thing to go through. There are many things that can cause you stress as a college student. One thing, in particular, is being on your own and having responsibility and being accountable. If you never had to take on any responsibility and do things for yourself, you’re going to find yourself in a stressful situation. There is an old aphorism that comes to mind, “with responsibility comes accountability.” College is an entirely different experience than high school. The teachers aren’t going to keep tabs on you, and no one is going to make you go to class. It’s all on you, and you’re the only person there to make yourself do it. You are responsible for everything and will be held accountable for everything that involves you. The work load is another thing that can cause stress for a college student. At any given time, a college student could have five different tests in one day for five different classes. In college, one test alone is stressful, but could...

...most businesses today though, is to intertwine fun and games with work. Some people side with the conventional opinion and believe play in the workplace is bad for business. I believe that play should be incorporated into the workplace through games and fun activities because it would boost production, give workers a chance to relax, and increase overall morale. By adding fun and games to the workplace, it would boost production by giving it a slightly more competitive environment. In Caitlin Petre’s article, “Gamifying the Workplace,” she wrote “in a gamified office, a salesperson might try to outrank her colleagues on a digital...

As they arrive to the camp site, the director informs them that she has a few rules that she would like to go over before they start their camp activities. Director “Good morning happy campers and welcome to Canoe Lake. I know you are all excited and here for fun but, there are a few rules that we all need to know to assure that your visit at Canoe Lake is a safe and fun trip.” Nurse “Safety is our number 1 priority” Director “Okay, okay, lets go over a few rules. Listen and be very careful. This is a great lake and you will definitely have a good time. Some important things to remember are: to keep out of direct sun as much as possible. Everyone must use sunscreen. Sunscreen lotion not only aids our sebaceous glands by providing moisture to the skin and hair, this also prevents you from being overexposed to sun which can burn your skin if not protected. Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, especially water. This prevents you from overheating yourselves. Last but not least, while we are all here to have fun, when you are in the canoes, whatever you do… Do not fall into Canoe Lake, there are harmful bacterias that live in there. 8th grade kids “Okay, okay, we will be careful!” Scene#2 Lake Narrator ...

...the best is simply unacceptable. In a society that constantly tells its youth they must have the highest pay check and newest car to be happy, why wouldn't this be the case? A fifth year of high school would give students more opportunity to take classes they would enjoy, take stress off of teenagers, and give the youth of our nation a chance to develop good priorities. Schools are always adding new and interesting courses, but for many, like the college bound student, there just isn't the time. Though an arts and crafts class might sound like fun, something like AP Music Theory would probably look better on a transcript. Since there is no time to take both the student will probably take the harder class even if it is just to keep up appearances. Fifteen years old seems too early to start making "career" choices over things that would be fun. But it happens and it causes stress. Teenagers in the country have an ever growing load of stress being placed upon them. Starting before high school teens are faced with the questions: Where are you going to college? How are you going to get there? What are you going to be? All these questions are extremely daunting and often stress students out. Also, with the price of college so high many students take on a job during high school which only adds to the stress. With an extra year of high school not only would students have time to think through big decisions, but they would also be better able to balance work with school. Time is...

...milkman. In the first section Mummy, Peter and Jane are introduced, and it seems like they are a happy family with fun in their life. However the milkman appears in section 2 and disturbs the peace. Mummy makes Peter leave the house, so she has time for the milkman. In the ending, Peter comes back, but he has a gun. The mother is cheating on the father. It appears as if there is a daughter called Jane, the mother tries to distract her by saying “look, Jane, look! Look at the dog! See him run”. She distracts her because she is having an affair with the milkman. The father comes home with a gun in the end of the poem, and he knows she is cheating on him. It is clearly shown in line 13, where the mother wants the milkman to escape over the wall. The mother wants everyone to leave the house when the milkman arrives so she can have an affair with him, without anyone noticing. For example, we can see it in line 7 when she says “Go Peter! Go Jane! Come, milkman, come!” and line 8 “The milkman likes Mummy. She likes them all.” There are many examples in the text, where it obviously shows that she is having an affair. The reason as to why she is cheating on him is unknown, even though it says they are happy in the text. The poem uses rhymes to give it a smooth flow. It can be seen in line 1 and 3: “They like fun,” “See him run”. They repeat the same line loads of times and use it to create a rhythmic flow. It appears in line 3, 9, 15 and 19. The other rhymes jump from section...
