...How to Organize a Paintball Event Have you ever dreamed of shooting your family or friends? Perhaps you will get the chance if you offer to organize a paintball event. It is a great way to relieve stress and have fun at the same time. Even if the stepmother from hell is on the same team as you, keep in mind there is such a thing as “friendly fire” (“accidentally” shooting someone on your team). Organizing a paintball event isn’t as easy as it seems. You need to know how many people are attending, what they need to bring, and the waivers need to be signed. The first step is to check out local fields. Some things to look for are, the ratio of referees to players, goggle signs, barrel plugs and personality of the staff. Typically, playing fields are crowded on the weekend. Most fields will open during the week for a group of twenty or more, but do ask. Price is also a consideration; this is an expensive hobby. Expect to pay at least $85 for a case of paint, goggle rental and a paintball marker (gun) rental for a four-hour session. Preferably, try to plan the outing when the weather is comfortable. Playing in the 100 degree Texas heat would be rough on most corporate types. On the day of the event, it is best for everyone participating to dress in layers. Being hit with a paintball does sting. Professionals recommend wearing gloves and a hat as hand shots and headshots seem to hurt the most. Wear comfortable shoes, cleats if possible, if not tennis shoes with good tread....

...I have been asked to create a detailed evaluation of the Paintballing trip that we organised for our team building event. In this report I will be evaluating the clean-up and vacating of the event, my personal opinion on how the event went and also other the opinion of other people who participated in the event. Task 1 When we first organised the event and booked the location, we were told the times in which we must arrive and leave the premises. We had specific times to arrive and leave because a lot of locations are very busy and need to make sure they can fit in as many clients as possible throughout the day. The times that they gave us were so they could clean up and be ready for the next customers within the right amount of time. With this in mind we were able to give the coach driver that we booked an exact time of when we had to be picked up from the college and from the Delta Force. We had to book transport to the venue as the event was in Cardiff and also there were a lot of people attending this event so travelling all together on the coach made it much easier to do a register and see who was missing. After we had finished with the venue, we had to make sure that all of our rubbish was cleared and all equipment borrowed from the venue was given back to them in the condition that they were given in. It was our responsibility to clear up any rubbish by putting it in the bins provided and also to give back the overalls, guns and helmets. Although we must clean...

...It’s your club’s annual trap tournament for all its bragging glory and you’ve had a long day. There plenty of busted blue rock under your belt, but you’re bushed and all you really want to do is concentrate on that last stage. Except there’s that little gnawing voice in the back of your head nagging, “You have to clean your gun.” Sigh… no matter how you skin it — especially after a couple hundred rounds — this is just no fun. As Luke Hartle found at the 2018 SHOT Show in Las Vegas this reluctant ritual might be a thing of the past. Cleanshot from Huntego makes polishing your gun’s bore as simple as pulling the trigger and just as fast. An innovative concept, as company phrases it a pass-through cleaner, Cleanshot is fired through your...

...are found on entertainment consoles. To experience these types of games for yourself in real life, without the controller, there are two to choose from, Airsoft or Paintball, and while similar, have many key differences, such as equipment used, projectiles, and game formats. Airsoft and paintball both have very similar game formats, and type of equipment used. Paintball utilizes a weapon called a “marker” to propel a paint filled gelatin shell ball using compressed air or CO2, while an airsoft weapon, called a “replica”, uses battery power to fire a 6mm plastic BB from a very realistic looking weapon. Projectiles fired from the paintball marker are used to hit the other players and mark them with paint, and when they are hit, they are out of that current game by being called “dead”. The same goes with airsoft as well, but as there is no paint, it relies on the “honor system” or to call out when you have been hit. The team that still has players considered “alive” capture said flag, and return it to their base and call victory. Being a shooter based game, the object is to eliminate the other teams players and capture a flag placed somewhere on the field. This is repeated numerous times all day, or until everyone is tired and ready to go home. No matter how similar the games of airsoft and paintball are, there are many differences....

...demographic that purchases more online rather than in person. This will also roll up into our customer satisfaction study that we have been conducting at neighboring fields around Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The largest part of this sport is driven from customer satisfaction and interaction. People/players are what drive the sport. Since the sport is not as popular or commercialized as other organizations, player feedback is vital. If the consumers have a bad experience, it can become known very quickly within the “paintball community”, which a field may have a hard time or never fully recovered. Lastly, the largest and most exciting part of this acquisition is the future expansion projects. Our client is planning an analysis using the prior year’s financials to help aid the transition the park from a seasonal, to year-round operation with the addition of an indoor paintball structure. This will give their local players one of the only indoor paintball fields within the north eastern part of the state. History...

...Paintball is a popular sport in the United States and a rather young sport. The first game of paintball was played in June of 1981. According to the Minnesota Paintball League, over ten million people play paintball every year.Furthermore, over a million people play paintball at least fifteen times annually. For those who do not know, paintball is a game of skill,strategy, and speed. In paintball, small, light, seventeen millimeter thick balls filled with paint are shot with compressed air. They fire at about 240-280 feet per second, which is 163-190 miles per hour. The paint used is water soluble in case a player gets shot in their mouth and swallows the paint. The game of paintball is really easy to learn but hard to master. In the game,...

...Critical Behavior In Research Princess Gunthrope University of Phoenix In research it is very important to adhere to ethical norms, these values ensure the proper and initial aim of research is carried out. The law of ethics in research prohibit researchers from falsifying information or misrepresenting information to participants. Often times “research involves a great deal of cooperation and coordination among many different people in different disciplines and institutions, ethical standards promote the values that are essential to collaborative work, such as trust, accountability, mutual respect, and fairness”(Sent, 2003). The critical behavior in research analysis will analyze an ethical issue raised in the article, The Causal Generalization Paradox: The Case of Treatment Outcome Research, written by Graham L. Staines. The article by Staines discusses the causal generalization paradox. The ethical issue at the heart of the article is the use of improper sampling procedures. With the vast amount of research taking place and random assignment techniques, less of a priority is being placed upon random sampling. According to Staines,2008 experimental research typically selects units, in part or in whole, at the convenience of the researcher. The researcher then makes no attempt, or often times only a limited attempt, to ensure that this sample is an accurate representation of some larger group or population. This form...

...Assignment Final Project Complete the Final Project Science Meets Real Life Whether you think of yourself as an up and coming scientist or not, you use science every day. You will explore how you apply different aspects of science in your daily life in a two part project. In 1,500-words (minimum), discuss the following: PART I: SCIENTIFIC METHOD Each and every day, we are faced with having to make split-second decisions, and the need to solve random problems that we encounter. To reach those decisions and work those problems out you are subconsciously using the scientific method. Apply the five steps of the Scientific Method to two situations that could occur in your everyday life. Use the scientific method in the first scenario provided below to solve the problem at hand. Please come up with a second detailed scenario on your own and follow the same steps in the scientific method to find a resolution. Scenario 1: You arrive home late at night. You walk up to the front door, unlock it, and reach in to turn on the light switch located just inside the front door. The light does not come on! Now what? Scenario 2: Develop your own detailed problem/observation and apply the scientific method to solve. PART II: WHY I CANNOT LIVE WITH/WITHOUT SCIENCE As you have seen throughout this course, science is intricately interwoven with our lives: in the food we eat, in the clothes we wear, in the computers we use for this course, science has had a hand in them all.

...red hat. It hovers over the hat and then darts away. Question: Do ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer some colors more than others when visiting flowers? INTRODUCTION: There have been a number of researches and experiments done when it comes to ruby-throated hummingbirds. The ruby-throated hummingbirds are the only hummingbirds found in Northeast United States. They have great color vision, like many birds, and can see ultraviolent spectrum, unlike humans (1996, All About Birds). PREDICTION: Ruby-throated hummingbirds do prefer some colors other than others when visiting flowers. CONTROL EXPERIMENTAL METHOD: I will conduct a control experiment with 10 ruby-throated hummingbirds, using red, yellow, orange, and purple flowers. I will observe the Hummingbirds over a period of 5 weeks. I will then take pictures of the birds 10 times a day, to see which flower they prefer. RESULTS: In this experiment, I found that the ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer the red and orange flower over any other color. They flock to the red flower, by 1% over the orange. I feel that orange is a close color to red and if the hummingbirds does not get a chance to get to the red flowers, then they will flock to the next best thing. CONCLUSION: Based on this experiment, I accept this hypothesis. I do not feel that there is a need to conduct further experience. The hummingbirds flocked to the red and orange flowers, without hesitation and never giving interest to the purple or yellow...

...The Body Fat Loss Experiment Does taking a thermogenic fat loss supplement cause an extra decrease in body fat or is it just the extra exercise and dieting from the individual's commitment itself that causes a greater body fat reduction? Thus, making people believe the excellent results couldn't of resulted on their own without the extra help from the thermogenic? I personally believe that the thermogenic supplement can cause an extra loss in body fat if taken properly. In this small experiment, I (Sean) and Ricky were the experimental group taking a thermogenic supplement from USP labs called OxyElite Pro for 4 weeks. Well my friends Luca and Adrian were the control group who had not taken anything for 4 weeks knowingly. Luca and Adrian had both decided that they did not need the supplement in order lose the same amount of body fat as Sean and Ricky. Since Luca and Adrian were exposed to the same experimental environment, it was only appropriate to consider them as the control group. All four subjects were on the same exact diet which consisted of oatmeal in the morning, a tuna sandwich and green leaf salad for lunch, and steak with broccoli at night. As for their workouts, they were performed together consisting of the same exact routines. Every workout would begin with running for 10min then cycling for 10min and abdominal workouts at the end of every workout for 10min. Biceps and triceps on Monday, back and chest on Tuesday, calves and thighs on Wednesday, Lats/traps/shoulders...

They may look at changing routes or how they split loads between drivers. DQ 2 Three things to research would be when these complaints are happening day or night? Who are these complaints about one employee or multiple employees? What are the company policies for customer service? DQ 3 Quantitative data is easier to read it can be translated to numerical expression. This is much easier to use when trying to determine if they should change something and how things are going. DQ 4 The essential characteristics distinguishing a true experiment require experimental and control groups and making sure that all parts of the experiment are validated. When conducting experiments with humans things can change constantly making it hard to validate. DQ 5 Some of the focus group questions I would use are. Does the IPhone have the capability to do what you need it to? Are there any features you do not like about it? How was the battery life? Were all the features easy to navigate? DQ 6 A method of sociological investigation that uses question based or statistical surveys to collect information about how people think and act.

...Abstract The Lean Project Delivery System emerged in 2000 from theoretical and practical investigations, and is in process of on-going development through experimentation in many parts of the world. In recent years, experiments have focused on the definition and design phase of projects, applying concepts and methods drawn from the Toyota Product Development System, most especially target costing and set based design. These have been adapted for use in the construction industry and integrated with computer modeling and relational forms of contract. Although by no means a finished work, the Lean Project Delivery System has developed sufficiently to warrant an updated description and presentation to industry and academia, incorporating processes and practices that have emerged since earlier publications. Keywords: Lean project delivery, project business plan, project business plan validation, set based design, target cost Introduction “The hospital is a machine the design of which facilitates or impedes its fitness for use.” (Dave Chambers, Chief Architect, Sutter Health)3 The implications of Chambers’ statement are important and far reaching. One consequence is that the use of hospitals and other such facilities must be designed before the facility itself can be designed. Common practice in the process industries, it has now become evident that it should be extended to other types of facilities. Such considerations have become both more common and more urgent...
