...Showing cattle engages you so much to the point that, consequently, you are out there for hours on end. You don’t even realize how long you have been working until you turn and look at a clock. I have shown cattle since the eighth grade. Almost everyday after school, I would walk to the high school and begin working with my heifer, Georgia. Having a show heifer is a great deal of work. People can spend hours bathing and working hair. It is quite pleasurable, for myself, to observe the development that I can have with the heifers. After each time you bathe them, you work hair. The first year that I showed cattle, the heifer that I owned had curly hair. Brushing and combing her hair, only hoping that over time her hair can be straight. When I...

...excellence. This test helps to show that all people have some form of intellectual forte, and allows its takers to further improve their innate cognitive capacity. 9. When I competed in the science fair in sixth grade, I was studying how Gardener’s multiple intelligences could be applied to middle school students at Denver School of the Arts. This project was unique among my peers, and garnered me accolades from both my peers and my teachers. That year, I performed well enough to qualify for the state level of competition. Seeing the projects that my peers had produced, I realized for the first time that there are people smarter than I am. 10. One type of competition at the Denver Dog Show is the “Junior Showmanship Competition.” This round is essentially the same as the adult showmanship competition, with the exception of the fact that in this round the handlers are being judged instead of their dogs. Youth and teens are encouraged to compete in this category in order to learn the complexities of the sport. This round also teaches trainers how to “lose with grace.” ...

...Benihana Tokyo case 1. What are the differences between the Benihana production process and that of a typical restaurant? The following are some of the differences between Benihana and other typical restaurants.. * Interactive dining experience – Benihana produces food from point of service through the Hibachi table arrangement, in front of the customer. In normal restaurants, the customer interacts with only the waiter/server whereas in Benihana the customers interact with the waiter and the cook. The customer has a completely different experience in Benihana, one in where he can watch his food being prepared and at the same time speak to the cook who prepares it. This improves customer intimacy and brings the customer closer to Benihana. Quality of the food prepared is high and all this adds up to improve overall customer experience. * Highly trained and skilled chefs – The chefs were one of the major selling points in Benihana and realizing this Benihana paid a lot of attention to training these chefs. Apart from continuous training in cooking, there was also heavy attention paid to learning Engling language and American manners – so essential because of the interaction a Benihana chef has to have with his customer. * Excellent turnover rates, efficient service– Again because of the Hibachi table arrangement and the creative dining experience, a customer would spend on average 45 minutes at Benihana. This is because wait time is really minimal since the...

...into reducing the Dead’s sound to one unambiguous genre, into finding an illusory unity? Perhaps I needed to reassure myself, but it lead me nowhere, even when I listened to the whole Europe 72 album. After more than an hour of listening to the Dead, I had entirely forgotten about my essay and I realized that maybe I had been looking in the wrong direction. For me, the Dead’s music was all about energy and the transmission of these positive vibes to the listener. But it wasn’t the kind of existential shout some artists need to express: here, everything seemed effortless, there was no plan to follow, they were following where their own sound would take them as much as they would create it. In this regard, their music as well as their showmanship could be better understood: it seems that for them, inspiration was just about feeling in harmony with themselves. And this is maybe why their music is so powerful: in a way, listening to the Dead is about a...

...Keenan Brown English 122 Mrs. Hemphill March. 16, 2016 U.S Election I think Bernie Sanders should be elected as president. He appears to be morally driven in terms of making America a great nation. He has consistently received less media coverage then Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, both of whom he matches as far as the presidential polls. With the other candidates having a much greater media coverage on major networks, Sanders still remains to keep in the campaign as his ideas and beliefs reflect those of the people. This is a testimony to the influence of political parties as well as mainstream media’s attention towards sensationalism and showmanship. This shows that Sanders is against playing by the fear and bigotry that are the forte of Trump’s Campaign. Amongst many of the reasons why Sanders should become President, I believe a major one to be that he is the only candidate that is not afraid of the idea of Socialism. In his own words during an interview he says, “Democratic Socialism means that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy.” Hoping that in his two years in office to create a more economically fair/equal society for lower and middle class Americans to live in. A large statement Sanders has made is that climate change is something that needs to be dealt with. He has a firm intent on reducing the dependence on fossil fuels as well...

...What is a sales presentation? In a nut shell, a sales presentation is an advertisement delivered in person to the customer. The sole purpose of it is to make the customer buy your product. In consumer world, advertisements are extensively used - either in TV or Radio or Magazines/Paper or Internet. But In business to business world, advertising through conventional media does not work, so companies developed a set of slides - which contain certain messages to the customer. And this is conventionally called as "sales presentation" Brief History In early 1900's, these slides were nothing but some printed sheets of paper accompanied with a live demonstration of the product. Later in 1950's, few companies began to use a set of film slides which could be projected on a screen, a few companies in US also began to use film projectors to show short video clippings. These clippings were in fact advertisements made by a professional agency. This presentation using slide film projectors were very expensive and often it was out of reach of small firms - even in big companies, the number of presentations were very limited. With the advent of plastic films from 3M and laser printers, a new form of sales presentation emerged - Computer generated slides which could be projected via a OHP (Over Head Projector). This marked the beginning of low cost computer generated presentations. (On a personal note, I still recall presenting my college project dissertation on a OHP - the slides were...

...he caught a ride to Memphis and launched a new career as a blues shouter. At a show in Atlanta an intoxicated woman gave him his nickname, he recalled “I opened my mouth and she looked up and hollered, ‘Ah, sing it, you gate mouth S.O.B.”. Moving between Memphis, Kansas City, and Chicago, he toured with some of the country’s top bands, wrote and recorded hits such as “I Ain’t Mad at You Pretty Baby,” “Did You Ever Love a Woman,” and “Somebody’s Got to Go”. Both B.B. King and Rufus Thomas considered Moore a major influence and remained close friends with him through the years. Moore was ranked in the top rung of vocalists in national polls by the Defender when he felt the calling to preach. He carried his flair for showmanship with him into the ministry, as a gospel singer, recording artist, as the host of radio and television programs, and as a raconteur whose tales could stretch the limits of belief. His elegance and exuberance enabled him to easily cross social, racial, and religious lines. Though he devoted himself to the church, community work, charities, and education, he still enjoyed singing the blues on occasion. A pastor of both Baptist and African Methodist Episcopal churches, a leader of the “black Elks” (IBPOEW), president of the Birmingham Black Barons baseball team,...
