...Anonymous Evaluation Paper Red Lobster Evaluation Red Lobster is a restaurant that is notorious for claiming they provide excellent seafood. Their promise is to provide tasty seafood while also providing people with a wonderful dining experience. Here is Red Lobster’s story taken straight from their website, “Here at Red Lobster we’re passionate about serving our guests great seafood. It’s why we go the extra mile to bring you the best dining experience possible. Our fishermen take pride in catching only the highest quality seafood, and the freshest fish. Our grill master’s expertly perfect flavors, cooking seafood and steak over a wood fire grill. And our servers pull out all the stops to make every dining experience feel extra special. It’s our passion. It’s our pride. Because at Red Lobster, we Sea Food Differently.” For me, I was anxious to see if the Red Lobster restaurant made me feel like I was having a real, oceanic experience. It is hard to have great seafood when comparing it to fresh, straight out of the ocean, seafood. Like many restaurants, Red Lobster has claimed it provides a comforting atmosphere, tasty seafood, and excellent service; however, I believe Red Lobster actually upholds its overall promise to its guests. Immediately after walking into Red Lobster, I felt as if I was walking into a restaurant striving for that “right off the coast,” appeal. I could sense that Red Lobster was trying its hardest to appeal to every guest that entered through...

Keep an excel file of customer information including all the information that grandpa knows about each customer. Offer free coffee for customer birthdays. Post pictures on a bulletin board so that customers feel special. c) Remaining competitive: should have a lot to do with customer loyalty since initially we won't have the money to invest in top of the line equipment or technology. Constantly visiting area coffee shops see what the competition is offering. Holding focus groups to get feedback from the community.

...1. The specials and the standards need to separate for the following reasons: a. They are not the exactly same process. The process for special carpets adds more steps than the standards carpets. So it is not convenient to use the same line. b. The setup time is too long. It costs as much as hours to changeover from the standard products to the special products. It costs money and requires storage space, and some of it will probably go to waste. c. The hurry order. There is third order called hurry order. When it happens, the process need to stop for rush special due, and the standard and special products will be delay to get to customers. If there are two lines, the special order’s influence will be down. The standard products and the special products can run in one line. 2. The JIT philosophy is that getting the right quantity of goods at the right place at the right time. It’s based on the simplicity and emphasis on quality. But in the Katz Carpeting company, the inventories of the carpets were high. They produced a lot what they already had , yet not enough of what was needed. They can’t get the right quantity of goods. 3. The following is the steps to implement the JIT system. First, they should make quality improvements. Their quality was becoming a problem, with customers frequently returning carpets for rips or incorrect dyed colors. They need to solve these problems, because the quality is pervasive and all the JIT objectives are dependent on quality improvement...

...Teaching for Exceptionalities Dominick Salafia Grand Canyon University: SPE 526 July 13, 2015 Introduction The following describes the lessons and activities of a two week special education program given by Yuma School District 1. Sessions were on Monday through Friday from 0800 am to 12 pm starting on June 08, to June 15, 2015. The students in this group varied in age and level of disability. I was assigned to a group that was higher functioning with mild to moderate learning disabilities. The sessions consisted of a daily calendar activity that all students participated in and daily learning centers in which the groups were rotated. The theme for the week was farms and farm animals. The learning centers were sensory, writing, reading, math, and social skills, followed by a daily craft activity. There was a special education teacher assigned to each activity. On Fridays there was an excursion, one was to a petting zoo (for disabled children) the other was to the local water playground. Subject In accordance with federal law that protects the privacy of these children I was not permitted to review any IEP’s that the student may have. General information was provided by the teachers. The subject is a 10 year old in the 5th grade boy that has a very quiet and polite disposition. He loves to read comic books, draw, and can carry a conversation; his reading is commensurate for a student at this grade level. He has a slight speech impediment, needs to develop social...

...famous person is? He is a German born physicist. He is known for his theories on special relativity and general relativity. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 1921. ( Points at picture) This famous person is Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein once said Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.This is my topic for today. What does it mean Try not to become a man of success but rather a man of value? Well, becoming someone of success is only a fraction of the bigger picture. Success can not be placed on a scale and weighed by any factors in your life nor can it be judged by the accomplishments you have tackled. Therefore, the word success becomes truly what it is, just a word. The dictionary defines the word success as one that succeeds but succeeds at what? Succeeds at meeting his goals or succeeds at life? If you think that becoming successful is reaching the goals you have set for yourself and you are constantly setting goals to better improve your lifestyle, your health, your future; then let me ask you this. If you have succeeded in obtaining your goals and you continue to set new goals to make you and your family life better, how can you be a success if you have yet to succeed with your new goals? There is actually an answer to this and Albert Einstein figured it out decades ago. Become someone of value. Let's look at that closer. Become someone of value. What does that mean? What is the difference between becoming a man of...

...with disabilities, but education should not be one of them. It is necessary for not only teachers, but for society as well, to be able to understand individuals with disabilities and be able to interact with them. Too often we have biased influences and labels we use to describe someone “different.” This is why educating society on the “exceptional” individuals in our society is crucial. As we all know, we do not live in an entirely compassionate society, therefore, educating communities, schools and society on people with disabilities is key. Knowledge is power! We need to better understand ourselves, so that we can better understand others. Sonyboy Fugaban states: There is a rhythm in life, a certain beauty which operates by a variation of lights and shadows, happiness alternating with sorrow, content with discontent, distilling in this process of contrast a sense of satisfaction, of richness that can be captured and pinned down only by those who possess the gift of awareness (Fugaban, 2011). We are all imperfect in an imperfect world. God creates us equal, no matter what disability or challenges we face. Everyone deserves the chance for a fair education and proper treatment. The term “special needs” may stir up many different emotions in people. Fear is a common response to these two words. With proper education, fear can be replaced with empathy and understanding. There are many social implications of attitude, legislation and litigation on the lives of students with...

Technology is the key to the future and is changing the way students are learning in the classroom today. If this technology is used properly and safely both the student and teacher can learn everything the internet has to offer. Technology gives us so many things that we can use in our classrooms to help teach our students. The internet and computers are the most common pieces of technology available and most recently Tablets and smart phones have been introduced into the school system. You may also find Smart Boards or interactive white boards that allow a teacher to use the program and share things on white boards with the entire class. These technologies will help teachers do more group activities and keep thing interesting so the students can learn and progress with their education. Educators from around the world use the internet and share their information with the rest of the world we only need to find it to learn about other cultures in other lands, we can even learn to speak their language. When in groups and learning about other cultures students can talk to one another and learn from each other and practice speaking in that language if they would like...

...disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places. Thus, they will achieve higher grades. Moreover, they will be greatly engaged in the society as they are building bridges with their peers from several backgrounds.

So he helped me narrow it down, and from then on it was a search through hours of Google links and a few dead trees wasted. It took me three whole days to collect 12 sources for my three careers which is hard for someone with my personality type to do. After taking the Keirsey Temperament survey I discovered I’m an INFJ, which is the rarest personality type of all. The name dubbed to my personality type is “The Caregiver”. It states that they are caring and parental towards everyone they love and love organization, yet extremely unfocused and in need of routine (INFJ 1). When I read that I couldn’t help but think that for once, an online quiz was actually right. It also said I was good with people and was well suited for medical work or being an artist of some sort, which just happened to fit two of my career choices (Careers 1). My careers chosen have no correlation what-so-ever beside the kooky brain that likes all of them. I decided Tattoo Artist was a good one because I love tattoos and the idea of a piece of your work becoming a part of another person. Then, I chose Special Education...

...Journal Special Needs Children Require Special Planning Special needs children require special planning in case of an emergency situation; and establishing a plan to care for your child who has special needs is a serious matter. If parents with special needs children fail to make plans ahead of time, and an unexpected emergency arises, local state and federal programs are available to assist and care for special needs children. In addition, private organizations can help with long term care. A trust fund can also be arranged that will explain how to care for the special needs child, and consulting a financial advisor in order to appropriately get the best way to go about the planning is best. If parents of a special needs child did not plan in advance to already have decisions made in case of the death of the parent(s). Due to various medical insurance policies requiring health information on the patient, it is a good idea to try to find the right coverage for your special needs child early. Another consideration for your special needs child is to seek information on establishing a protective trust account for your special needs child. An finally, keep a “Personal Note Book” explaining everything that you can think of about your special needs child that will be useful for someone who is unfamiliar with your child’s needs.
