...Red Hook Situation: Redhook began in Seattle producing European-style beer with high quality equipment and ingredients. Brewing was initially packed in 15.5 gallon kegs and sold to local taverns and restaurants. Redhook began to expand further in the mid 1980’s and acquired a new brewing facility in 1989 and another in 1994 with a capacity of 60,000 barrels per year. In 1994 Redhook distributed its products through Anheuser-Busch and by 1998 Redhook was available in 48 states. Redhook experiences a great deal of competition through import, national, and craft beers. The brewing industry in the U.S. is also regulated in areas such as product safety, quality, and environmental protection. The market also suffers from high product substitutability. Redhook production has gradually increased from 1991 to 1996 as well as the amount of barrels shipped. Problem or Potential Problem: Redhook does not have enough gross sales to justify its current expenses. As Redhook has increased its production and ability to produce, its costs have increased; however, income hasn’t increased in correlation with the increases in production capacity. Redhook purchased fixed assets with cash on hand and has yet to realize a productive return on that investment. Unfortunately there has also been a decrease in sales of Redhook beers. The growth of Redhook does not correspond to its current market conditions and is pushing Redhook into an ever tougher situation. Causes: Redhook has overestimated...

...The only problem with using a bobber is that sometimes anglers are not able to cast their bait out as far as if they were to use a weight. If an angler is fishing the worm on a jig head they must cast the bait out and reel it in slowly. A container of large Canadian earthworms will contain around twelve worms, but most anglers will cut them into quarters because they are so large. A container of red wigglers can contain up to twenty-four worms because they are smaller, but they also stay alive in water a lot longer than other breeds of worms (Pelton...

...Wake often gives fish the sense that there is a school of shad or some other small fish. If you are having a hard time creating wake with your lure, use things around you to create it. In the past I have lowered the outboard motor just enough to create a little wake behind the boat as we moved through the cove with the trolling motor and the bass just did not stop hitting for well over 2 hours! Bass will literally strike hard and fast, in some cases they will even break your line, creating a truly invigorating experience! Try different colors of lures. I know some fishermen that swear by the translucent ones and others will only buy black and red. But why limit yourself to just one color? If you fish the same lake or pond all the time you probably do know what works best, but even what works best does not always work! Shake things up and buy an assortment of colors, shades, etc. Do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. The last tip I can impart on you is patience. Patience is not a virtue that everyone has in ready amounts. I have very limited patience and in the beginning swimbaits did nothing but frustrate me and disappoint me. You have to be patient with these lures you may only get 5 strikes all day but all 5 strikes will be from award winning bass. Your patience will...

From those thesis, support, and warrant always present and qualifier, backing, and rebuttal may not be present. Based on Toulmin analysis, the claim of this poster is that America needs better gun control. Fairey didn’t state his evidence directly on his poster, because he didn’t need to. The general population already know his evidence. Aurora theater shooting, Sandy Hook elementary shooting,Virginia Tech, and Columbine High School. People watched the news of these horror events on TV and heard on radio. Some witnessed the violence in their open eyes. The warrant of this poster is that people want peace and love. In today’s world, we need those things more than ever, because they are the base to solve our problems.

...On one side people say the federal government's involvement in gun laws would infringe upon people’s second amendment rights. On the other side, people say the government should act. In the case, in increasing gun laws the federal government should act. Since the beginning of the United States the choice of gun law has been left to the states and because of this many states have lackadaisical about implementing gun laws. Currently, Idaho and Montana don’t have any of the seven regulations stated above. Also, most states only have one or two of the regulations and there isn’t any regulation that is implemented in all 50 states. All of the seven of the regulations are reasonable and there should be a reason why states and people have such a problem with the regulations. Red flag laws allow state law enforcement to take firearms who are seen as a risk to themselves and people around them. The decision is made by a judge. Relinquishment laws say that anymore who become disqualified from owning a firearm must turn them in. Assault weapons ban stopped the sale of assault weapons.

And so on. In the content will explain the importance of mystery, how to write good mystery story and Crisp Information about the content: The following paragraph contains information about how to write a good mystery stories: Write out the plot of the story. If you have more than one plot at first, don't worry about it. Choose one like the best and go with it and put the others aside for later. Include a red herring. This is when you make it appear that one of your suspects is the criminal when it was actually somebody else. You must also make your readers believe it was the red herring who did it, until it has been made clear who the real criminal was. (Note: Many people think a red herring is a misleading clue. This might not be right.). Secret codes and languages can provide an interesting addition to your tale, especially if you develop a special language for some of the characters. Think of some good main characters. You don't need a lot of characters--sometimes just two or three works well. Try to develop distinct personalities. Write the first draft and it is just to get all other thoughts in an orderly place and put some structure into your mystery. Make the ending believable and don't leave any loose ends. The readers will not be happy with an unfinished story, unless it...

...things that attract tourists in the first place – Tibet’s distinctive culture, and the unspoilt beauty of its high plateaus and mountains Architecture Local Houses The traditional way of building is a response to Tibet's cold and dry climate, and the earthquake-prone ground. Since from at least the 7th century onwards until recently, the materials used for construction of housing in Lhasa have not changed much. Local stone, wood and earth are the basic materials, different qualities of which were used for different purposes. One of the most characteristic features of traditional Tibetan architecture is the battered wall. Besides giving Tibetan buildings a distinctive silhouette, the inward-sloping walls also provide extra stability in case of tremors. The sloping is created by the reduction in thickness from the ground floor wall to the top floor wall, with the inside wall remaining vertical. Stone Towers are built like military fortifications. The perimeters of these buildings are usually built in the shape of a trapezoid for increased strength. They are usually two-story buildings made of stone and wood. The lower floor is where livestock is stabled. The upper floor is comprised of living rooms for the family, storerooms and a shrine room. Temples The distribution of the architectural styles in Tibet also has some unique characteristics. In some cities and towns like Lhasa, administrative centers and local houses are centered on the temples. Due to Tibetan religious...

...by Mulberry. I will be evaluating these adverts whilst considering audience, purpose and effectiveness once establishing the type, medium and method for each communication. I will also need to evaluate these two pieces of external communication as key contributors to review the success of the organization. Examples to demonstrate these points will also be included. Along side this I will also discuss if the external communication works and compare both pieces, stating improvements. Included in this report is also a bibliography which will include a list of references that I have used as research to find my information. Methodology When creating my advertisement, I considered key criteria. My key criteria aimed for my poster to include a hook, a piece of information, a call for action and a purpose which targeted my audience. In class we brainstormed the key criteria before making our own advert to assess how we could include these elements into the external communication. As a class we all made rough drafts of our posters and jotted down a range of different ideas as a rough draft. I decided to also evaluate against the key contributors of Mulberry. I discovered these key contributors by assessing the elements in which my advertisement would have an affect on. These elements include profit, sales, footfall and conversion. My piece of external communication is a recruitment advertisement, which will have an impact on Mulberry’s key contributors. When considering my methodology...

...exciting time when going deep sea fishing. Some people regard fishing as an old man’s sport. People have been captivated by the sea since the beginning of time, and of catching fish since around the same time. The sport has grown hugely in many ways, yet has stayed the same in many aspects. Imagine looking at the ocean as a slick plate of glass when it is calm, or it can be a very dangerous place if a storm decides to get it riled up. Fly fishing, on the other hand can be a relaxing adventure. Although it takes skill to cast a fly rod, a sharp eye to find the fish, a special hand to convince the fish to take the feathery lure, and quite possibly some fast reflexes to hook the fish, if you get that window of opportunity. If you do not get it right, you can watch your fish majestically swim away as he spits out the feathery hook, and you reel the line in as gracefully as you cast it out. Although deep sea fishing and fly fishing are similar as sports, they differ concerning equipment, locations, and types of fish. For those of you interested in fishing, but are not so lucky at it, there are some guidelines you may want to try. The first important thing you should know is that the equipment you use is very important. “You would not want to “bring a knife to a gunfight,” because it wouldn’t be prudent.” ("Fishing." 123HelpMe.com. 13 Nov 2013 <http://www.123HelpMe.com/view.asp?id=65836>). Fishing is just the same. If you are fishing for an 800 pound blue marlin, you would...

...the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so. The hybrid garden rose "Amber Flush" The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes.[4] Roses are insect-pollinated in nature. The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the dog rose (Rosa canina) and rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such...
