...Aaron Mikles 1/6/13 3rd Demiter They say bull riding is the most dangerous sport on dirt. In a lot of ways they are right a lot of people are injured and even killed. In bull riding they say its not if you get hurt its when and how bad. Bull riding has been around for a long time for a few hundred years. Bull riding is an exciting and an adrenaline pumping sport because of the history of bull riding, the way you are scored, and the safety of the rider and the bull. Bull riding has a long rich history, it can be traced back all the way to the early 1800’s. Cowboys would get together and have contests in things they normally do on a ranch like roping and trying to break horses, but you didn’t have to get on the back of a bull for no reason they just wanted to see who could do it and so began bull riding. The first formal rodeo was held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Bull riding quickly became the most watched and anticipated event at the rodeos. Cowboys were not organized the first union was called cowboys turtle association (CTA), in 1975 it became rodeo cowboys association (RCA) it later became Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), which is what it is known as today. Before 1992 bull riding was just one of the nine traditional events that took place on the PRCA circuit. In 1992 twenty of the top professional bull riders put up $1,000 each to launch the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit. Bull ridings first widely recognized stat was Dick Griffith...

...CHAPTER OVERVIEW (PPT 7.1-7.2) An important function of effective management is accurate measurement of employee performance. This chapter discusses the foundation, design, and implementation of performance measurement systems. In addition, it describes the principles of effective performance management so that the reader will have an understanding of how to create a positive appraisal environment. ANNOTATED OUTLINE I. What is Performance Appraisal? (PPT 7.3) Performance appraisal involves the identification, measurement, and management of human performance in organizations. Organizations usually conduct appraisals for administrative (a decision about an employee's working conditions, including promotions and rewards) and/or developmental (a decision concerning strengthening the employee's job skills, including counseling and training) purposes. Dissatisfaction with appraisals is rampant. HR professionals, line managers, and employees voice dissatisfaction. Many workers have difficulty with appraisal, which may account for the short life span of the average appraisal system. II. Identifying Performance Dimension (PPT 7.4) The first step in the performance appraisal process is identifying what is to be measured. Managers must identify the aspects or dimensions of performance that determine effective...

...reading binary. Using a 7-segment display we are able to achieve that by converting the BCD value into a 7 bit output. The 7-segment display has 7 LEDs and a certain amount of voltage triggers each of the 7 segments to produce a decimal number. Procedure 1. Create a truth table for your 4 bit input and the corresponding output necessary to light the proper segments of the display. For example, if the input is represented by WXYZ and the output is identified as ABCDEFG then if the input is 0000, all outer LEDs should be lit while the middle LED should be off. Once you create the rows in a truth table for the other 9 combinations, find the function for each segment. 2. Depending on whether you are dealing with more 0s or 1s, choose NAND or AND gates to implement each segment function. 3. Wire the input DIP switches to the decoder input. Note that you have 2 3x8 decoders. You will need to use the inputs and enable lines to combine them in order to implement these 7 functions. 4. Wire the NAND or AND gates to the proper outputs of the decoders in order to implement the functions for each segment. 5. Wire the outputs of the gates to the proper pin on the 7-segment display (refer to the datasheet for the 7-segment display you are using and remember to use a resistor instead of a jumper. 6. Attach 5V to both common anode pins of your 7-segment display (refer to the datasheet for the 7-segment display you are using). 7. Demonstrate number 0-9...

...employment online (Internet). You need a computer. All countries military forces are also trying to get ahead in technology on the battlefield. Technology wins the wars. Technology is knowledge. Technology is the Power. Technology is the key to success. With this said let’s look at the new Windows 8 Consumer Preview Edition. Let’s review some of the technology and in comparison with the current operating system Microsoft Office Windows 7. Introduction: It’s the 1970s. At work, we rely on typewriters. If we need to copy a document, we likely use a mimeograph or carbon paper. Few have heard of microcomputers, but two young computer enthusiasts, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, see that personal computing is a path to the future. In 1975, Gates and Allen form a partnership called Microsoft. Like most start-ups, Microsoft begins small, but has a huge vision—a computer on every desktop and in every home. During the next years, Microsoft begins to change the ways we work. By the late 2000s, the wireless world has arrived. When Windows 7 is released in October 2009, laptops are outselling desktop PCs and it’s common to get online at public wireless hotspots like coffee shops. Wireless networks can be created at the office or at home. Microsoft has pioneered the operating system technology. Over the past 25 years Microsoft operating systems has grown up and has become more advanced than anyone can imagine. Once you thought you...
