...Corn Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach to monitoring pest lifecycles and prevalence in farmer’s fields to determine the best pest control methods to protect crop yield potential in the current and following growing seasons. IPM is a continuum of pest management evaluations, decisions, and controls that encompass pest lifecycles and prevalence, agronomic practices such as crop rotation, seed selection, soil management, and timely use of pesticides to minimize pest damage and protect environmental resources. Red Root Rot a Late Season Disease of Corn * Roots and basal stalk tissue infected with red root rot characteristically have reddish-pink, rotted roots. * Stalks are weakened and susceptible to lodging. * Premature plant death is common and can occur quickly and yield losses can be as high as 15-20%. * Genetic resistance to red root rot is uncommon and breeding for disease resistance is difficult. Management Management options are limited. Crop rotation with a non-host such as soybean can provide some control.1 Genetic resistance has been difficult to incorporate into corn products, although the rate of disease development varies greatly between corn products. Research on inheritance of disease resistance indicates that it is a polygenic trait with additive gene action, which has complicated breeding efforts.1 Environmental stress during the season may contribute to disease infection and severity...

...A Charter School is a school established to provide students and parents with more choices in the types of educational opportunities and programs that are available within the public school system. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough School Board approves of community-based charter schools. All Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD) Charter School programs are open to student’s applications who reside within the school district. Starting a charter school is truly a community effort. However, the rewards we may find by creating a new educational option for children are well worth the effort. The first question we want to answer is why do we want to start a charter school? As a charter developer, we need to have a clear answer to this question. Matanuska-Susitna Valley residents desire a school that provides a rich and comprehensive educational program for students with talents and potential in dance, instrumental music, vocal music, theatre, and visual art or media arts. This school will provide students and parents with expanded choices in the types of educational opportunities that are available within the public school system to maximize each student’s special talents. Our graduates will increase the quality of their life, the lives of people who surround them, and the respective communities of the Valley. There are many people interested in helping to start our charter school waiting for recruitment. These founders will include parents, teachers, school principals...

Course description: This course examines major artists, artworks, and movements after World War II; as well as broader visual culture—everything from music videos and print advertisements to propaganda and photojournalism—especially as the difference between ‘art’ and non-art increasingly becomes blurred and the objectivity of aesthetics is called into question. Movements studied include Abstract Expressionism, Pop, and Minimalism in the 1950s and 1960s; Post-Minimalism/Process Art, and Land art in the late 1960s and 1970s; Pastiche/Appropriation and rise of interest in “identity” in the 1980s; and the emergence of Post-Identity, Relational Art and Internet/New Media art in the 1990s/post-2000 period. We will focus primarily on artistic production in the US, but we will also be looking at art from Europe, South and East Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Emphasis will be placed on examining artworks and broader visual culture through the lens of a variety of different contextual frameworks:...

The German manufacturer, through its marketing strategy which rests on a favorable brand image, has evolved into a large multinational enterprise.

Sharing this star is working with passion and love to build a better world. The year 2007 premiered in the same year. was rich and bountiful for Cirque du Soleil throughout the world. More than 10 million people saw a performance by Cirque in one of the 200 cities we visited during this period. And for the first time in nearly a decade, two new Cirque du Soleil shows KOOZA™ has been thrilling North American audiences under the blue-and-yellow Big Top since its premiere in the spring of 2007. Born of the fertile imagination of director David Shiner, a Cirque du Soleil ® stalwart in the earliest days of the company, KOOZA reaches back to the deepest roots of the circus to bring to life the eternal confrontation between fear and awe during the course of an incredible, wild journey. Meanwhile, Wintuk™ is a heartwarming winter tale, recounting the journey of a young boy who wants to bring snow and joy to the heart of a grey winter. This first-ever seasonal show from Cirque du Soleil was presented in the WAMU Theatre at Madison Square Garden during November and December. This show is the beginning of a real Holiday tradition between Cirque and the city of New York.

...Service QualityLEARNING OBJECTIVESAfter completing this chapter, you should be able to: 1. Describe and illustrate the five dimensions of service quality. 2. Use the service quality gap model to diagnose quality problems for a service firm. 3. Describe how the SERVQUAL survey instrument is used to measure gaps in a service firm's quality. 4. Illustrate how Taguchi methods and poka-yoke methods are applied to quality design in services. 5. Construct a "house of quality" as part of a quality function deployment project. 6. Construct a statistical process control chart for service operation. 7. Use a fishbone chart in a cause-and-effect analysis. 8. Compare and contrast the quality program features espoused by Philip Crosby and W. Edward Deming. 9. Describe the features of an unconditional service guarantee and its managerial benefits.10. Discuss the concept of a service recovery.Service "with a smile" used to be enough to satisfy most customers. Today, however, some service firms differentiate themselves in the marketplace by offering a "service guarantee." Unlike a product warranty, which promises to repair or replace the faulty item, service guarantees typically offer the dis satisfied customer a refund, discount, or free service. Take, for example, the First Interstate Bank of California. After interviewing its customers, the bank management discovered that they were annoyed by a number of recurring problems, such as inaccurate statements and broken automatic teller machines...
