...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...

...Marketing research is the process of defining a marketing problem and opportunity, systematically collecting and analyzing information, and recommending actions. The five step marketing research approach is a way of making decisions in marketing. The five steps include Defining the problem, developing the research plan, collecting relevant information, developing findings, and taking marketing actions. Constraints in a decision are the restrictions placed on potential solutions to a problem such as limitations on time and money. The difference between primary and secondary data is that primary data are facts and figures that are newly collected for the project, while secondary data are facts and figures that have previously been recorded. Some advantages of secondary data are the time savings, and the low cost. disadvantages of secondary data include that the secondary data may be out of date and the categories might not be right for the researchers project. The difference between observational and questionnaire data are that observational data can be collected by mechanical, personal, or neuromarketing methods, while questionnaire data are facts and figures that are obtained by asking people. Personal Interview provides the greatest flexibility. The difference between a panel and experiment is that a panel is a sample of consumers or stores from which researches take a series of measurements, while an experiment obtains data by manipulating factors under controlled...

...Discussion Questions: Chapter 8 1) It is advisable to borrow in order to take a cash discount when the cost of borrowing is less than the cost of foregoing the discount. 2) Larger firms tend to be in a net creditor position because they have the financial resources to be suppliers to credit. The smaller firm must look to the larger manufacturer or wholesaler to help carry the firm's financing requirements. 3) New banking laws allowed more competition and gave banks the right to expand across state lines to create larger, more competitive markets. They also increased bank mergers. 4) The prime rate is the rate that a bank charges its most creditworthy customers. The average customer can expect to pay one or two percent (or more) above prime. 5) LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. It is consistently below the prime rate. 6) The use of a compensating balance or minimum required account balance allows the banker to generate a higher return on a loan because not all funds are actually made available to the borrower. This benefit to the lender need not be a disadvantage to the borrower. The borrower may, in turn, receive a lower quoted interest rate and certain gratuitous services because of the compensating balance requirement. 7) Commercial paper can be either purchased or issued by a corporation. To the extent one corporation purchases another corporation's commercial paper as a short-term investment, it is a current asset....

...Materials and Processes Homework, Chapter 8 Review Questions Deborah Williams 10052014 1. Die casting needs more machining, 2 types, less likely are the shell process and the Shaw Process. 2. Wax and plaster of paris, jelly, sand. Shell molds use sand and plastic resin. Polystyrene in evaporative casting process. 3. Draft or taper 4. When metal solidifies from liquid it shrinks in inches/feet depending on metal. You have to leave enough extra metal to allow for shrinkage and machining. 5. Cores are the center (void) of a part. Used to produce a desired cavity. Mostly by compacting a sand mixture into the core box and curing it. 6. A crane hook needs to be able to safely handle a lot of weight, so I would use steel because it is stronger than cast iron and cast iron is a lot more brittle. 7. I would choose grey cast iron because the housing is a non-weight bearing part, it just needs to keep grease in and dirt out. The cast iron would be much cheaper to make and it doesn’t need to be remachined after either. Reducing production and labor cost. 8. I would use the shell process of sand casting. It will be much less expensive to make the molds, they can be re-used, and there would be no machining afterwards providing labor savings. 9. Used with permanent molds to make a shell of metal in the mold. Metal is poured in and allowed to solidify for a certain amount of time, used for hollow parts, not necessarily for strength. 10.

...8½ Produced by Angelo Rizzoli. Directed by Federico Fellini. Screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli, Ennio Flaiano, Brunello Rondi. Viewers expecting to sit back, relax and switch off for a couple of hours - this film is not for you. A barrage of dream sequences interrupted by brief encounters with endless characters; this is a piece of shamelessly self indulgent psychoanalysis on Fellini's part. Of course, this is exactly what he intended. The main character is that of Guido (played by Fellini himself) a director unable to complete his latest film and loosely based on the identity of his own creator (Fellini). Fellini has been able to achieve the effect of mise en abyme not only through the dream sequences but also with this being an autobiographical piece. Viewers are intentionally lulled into the false belief that they are watching a film about Fellini, not the character Guido. Throughout, obvious references to the films chaos and irregularities are made by characters through their criticism of the unfinished, fictional film. When giving Guido notes on his film, one character calls it 'a chain of gratuitous episodes' which pretty much describes Fellini's 8½ to perfection. In another scene Guido is criticised for his obsession with depicting 'Italy's Catholic conscience' which is also a reoccurring motif of Fellini's. He plays this game with the viewer by highlighting the inadequacies of his own film through the criticism of the fictional one. An endless array...

...oldwitchcraft.com 3 INTRODUCTION The science of numerology can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, early Christians, Mayans, and Incas all used some form of numerology to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold. (Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all calculations involving name.) There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to each name are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these numbers represents different characteristics and expressions. Master numbers are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning and/or achievement very often in a more stressful environment...

...Homes for the homeless The U.S. Government defines affordable housing as housing that consumes 30 percent or less of a household's income. Using that definition, millions of people in the United States do not have affordable housing; that number is presently growing .In this day in age there should be affordable housing for the less fortunate. The purpose of the suite of Make Home is to bolster a damaged and fragile economy by helping families who have difficulty making mortgage payments as a result of reduced or lost incomes, lost jobs, and other unfortunate situations that can arise during periods of economic decline that are beyond control such as debilitating illness and death. Started by the Obama administration, the Make Home Affordable program is designed to assist struggling families with a suite of programs, including targeting monthly mortgage payments with the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), the FHA-backed Home Affordable Modification Program (FHA-HAMP), the Veteran’s Affairs Home Affordable Modification Program (VA-HAMP), the Principle Reduction Alternative (PRA), the Second Lien Modification Program (2MP), and the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Special Loan Servicing program.

...| The Concept of Program Reengineering | Modern Public Administration PAD 500 | Professor William Roberts | Torrence J. Bellamy | 2/25/2012 | | The Concept of Program Reengineering The case study of Mayor Schell’s Zero Homeless Family Strategy discusses the homeless problem in Seattle, Washington (King County) and the strategies used to address the problem. Mayor starts his term off with a dramatic pledge that there would be no homeless families with children or any homeless single women on the streets of Seattle by Christmas of that year (some six months from date of pledge). The pledge itself might easily be viewed as a political move to provide a “quick-fix” solution to a very complex and long-standing problem. While Mayor Schell’s policy choices in this matter had some success, they were met with scrutiny and counter proposals by homeless advocacy groups and city financial managers. This paper provides an analysis of the mayor’s policy choices, analysis of the pre-implementation and design strategies, as well as discussion of steps taken to reengineer the program. It also addresses the importance of conducting proper assessments before implementing new programs. The policy choices related to Mayor Schell’s plan to address homelessness include: targeting homeless families with children and single women for “immediate emergency assistance”; focus on creating affordable housing; expanding shelter and/or emergency housing availability; and providing...
