...unit are easier to understand if a technician breaks the complex schematic into individual circuits. This will provide an efficient method for diagnosing and repairing systems. The narrative covers the major loads in the system which is the compressor, compressor fan, and evaporator fan. On heat pump units, when the room thermostat set to the cooling mode, 24Vac is supplied to terminal “O” of the defrost board and to the reversing valve. As long as the thermostat is set for cooling, the reversing valve will be in the energized position for cooling. The constant 24Vac at the “O” terminal of the defrost board signals the board that the unit is in cooling. On a demand for cooling, the room thermostat energizes “Y” and “G”. This supplies 24Vac to terminal “Y” of the defrost board, the compressor contactor and the “G” terminal in the unit. The compressor starts in the cooling mode and the indoor blower motor starts. The contactor closes and turns on the compressor and condenser fan. When the cooling demand is satisfied, the room thermostat removes the 24Vac from “Y” and “G”. The contactor opens and turns off the compressor and condenser fan. The indoor blower will stop after the fan off delay. If the room thermostat fan selector switch should be set to the "on" position then the indoor blower would run continuous rather than cycling with the compressor. On heat pump units, when the room thermostat is set to the heating mode, the reversing valve is not energized. This is an indication...

...propose a viral marketing plan to attract more female NASCAR fans. Brand Management Starting in the early 1990s and continuing for the next 15 years NASCAR did an exceptional job of managing their brand. NASCAR understood the loyalty of their fan base and the depths to which their fans supported the sport in the marketplace. According to NASCAR’s own licensing study, 72% of their fans were more likely to buy a product if it had the NASCAR logo on it; as evidenced by the sales of NASCAR branded goods increasing more than 250% in just 10 years. NASCAR leveraged that loyalty to secure lucrative sponsorship contracts. They also promoted fan loyalty with two-day tailgate events taking place before the races. These events were engineered to provide fans with the unique experience of actively participating in the sport they loved through interactions with NASCAR sponsors. NASCAR’s downfall in managing their brand comes from not considering if their growth rate was sustainable. Intent on chasing after ever-increasing revenues through sponsorship and trying to capture value from the elusive casual fan, NASCAR seemed to disregard the potentially harmful consequences this could have for their brand. Astronomical sponsorship fees made it impossible for anyone other than huge corporations to support NASCAR; leading to fewer owners managing more teams, a configuration that does not promote fan loyalty. In trying to expand their fan base, NASCAR changed the points system of the races, increased...

...Direct to Fan Model Direct-to-Fan is a business model used by independent musicians, independent music labels, music marketing professionals, promoters, and others in the music industry. Direct-to-Fan is also becoming a model used by the broad definition of artists, including comedians, visual artists, and other entertainers looking to build and leverage a fan community throughout their career. The Direct-to-Fan model bypasses the major record label model that historically controlled radio, venue, and distribution channels, and lets the artist (or the team that supports that musician) create interest in their music directly with their fans, identify those fans, market directly to and develop relationships with those fans, sell directly to and monetize those relationships, and use those relationships to expand their fan base. Foundation components of this model include music discovery sites, and Direct-to-Fan music sales, marketing, and business solutions. Direct-to-Fan models encourage engaging directly between the artist and their fans, keeping the fans engaged, knowing who they are (who, what, when, where, why), building the artist's brand, and developing the artist-to-fan relationship over time. Direct-to-fan tools Some tools supporting Direct-to-Fan include: Storefronts to sell direct-to-fan on Band Websites and on social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace, Widget tools to embed sales, gig or event calendar, profile info anywhere including blogs...

I am currently applying for sixth form and here is what I have to offer to this institution: Personal Profile: I am a highly motivated, self disciplined and dedicated apprentice; I can contribute and undertake any facilities in a variety of situations, which combines good communication and management skills, with a high degree of enthusiasm and analytical thought processes, Ambitious, pro-active and with a lot of other additional skills. In my 4 years school my favourite and most successful subjects have been Maths, History, Spanish and English. I have particularly enjoyed doing I.T because in our class we do all sorts of things like presentations, using PowerPoint and analyses using the Excel spreadsheets. The work in I.T is really easy and there is no difficulty doing it. I have also found English particularly interesting because I got good grades for the essays, comprehension and the stories . I have had experience in other areas of work during the last year including working in a local busy restaurant (presently) In these jobs I have enjoyed a role of responsibility which in my opinion exceeds my years. In history, I am able to use sources to analyse well and find it easy to tie in with the work, as well as being able to identify primary evidence from secondary evidence. Although I often find the work in history difficult, I feel as though my skills are constantly improving...

...PROJ 1194 Winter 2014 Tara Dickenson Assignment 9.1 – Positive Re-enforcement At the beginning of November I had been tracking the delivery of a certain coil required for a product for our customer. The coil’s delivery date was Friday, December 19th, however it did not, nor did it arrive the following Monday. To further add, the original buyer who placed the PO for the coil was on holidays; so I was left dealing with their backup. The backup person is competent, but not familiar with the coil supplier. When the coils had not arrived by Tuesday morning, I sat down with the backup buyer, gave them all of the details and asked them to look into the status of the delivery. Based on the backup’s reaction, I was not expecting very much effort to be made. Later that afternoon, the backup buyer called me. He apologized for how long it had taken for him to get back to me and then that the coils would be arriving the next day. He then went on to say that it was a chore to chase the coil down and it resulted in him talking to 7 or 8 various people from the supplier, the shipping company and our receiving department. It sounded like he had quite the challenge from the supplier, but eventually spoke to the correct person and received the desired information. After thanking the backup individual, I hung up the phone and realized that this was a perfect opportunity to do some ‘positive re-enforcement’. I walked over to his boss’ office and asked him to come with me to...

...Football fans The person who thinks, talks about and is oriented towards sports even when [the fan] is not actually observing, or reading, or listening to an account of a specific sports event.(Spinrad ,1981) A fan is a person who is passionately devoted to something such as a sports-team, band or entertainer. Fans of a sport or thing constitute a fan-base or fandom (Wiki-Answers). Most of us enjoys going to sporting events and no matter what the event is, there are excitements associated with these events and more so thinking that our team will win and if they win we go home happily and if it loses we get somehow upset or sad. Despite all this, we have different categories of sports fan in our societies and everyone who follows sports falls in one of these categories. The categories include: Diehard fans - no matter how the team that they are supporting does, they will always support it and won’t miss any game or news at all about their team. They knows every player on the roster, position they play, and uniform number. Casual fans – these are averaged or below average followers of their team. They stick and follow their teams, but not to the extent of following every game. Mostly they know a few star players. Fair-weather fans – these are the one that follow and cheer for their teams only when they become successful. They have no loyalty to their teams when they are in down period experience. The Pessimist - They talk only during commercial breaks. Pessimist might...

...socially acceptable and even encouraged in some circles. One such prejudice is over hobbies. It sounds silly but there is only a slight difference in degree. Here are some examples. Look at a sports arena, just about any sport and you’ll find diehard fans dressed in their teams’ colors or as their mascot. Many will chuckle and move on with the game. However take this same scene to, say, a sci-fi convention and you’ll find the same diehard fans dressed as Storm Troopers and Starfleet Officers. The difference? Ridicule. The Sports fan is merely “showing his spirit” whereas the sci-fi fan is “some loser who needs a life”. [ (Garmon) ] “And all I could think of was how grotesquely unfair it is that science fiction and comics fans are tagged as nerds and dweebs and treated in a condescending manner when sports fans are just as ‘bad’ if not ‘worse.’ … Maybe the only way science fiction and comic book conventions will gain genuine respectability is if they become designed, not for socialization or debate, but about being as aggressive as possible about separating fans from their money. You know; Like pro sports.” This is because we’re a minority. We are considered outsiders. But there is no difference between the two. Both are fans of a hobby they love and enjoy, occasionally to an extreme degree, but still a similar passion as others who may share their interest to any degree. However, as it is socially acceptable to be a sports fanatic, you may get some good natured jeers...
