Contest? I think yes (Closed, judging in process)Update 02/August: I hit 7000 watchers! As a mini-celebration, I've upgraded the prizes for 2nd and 3rd prize a bit. Thanks for being awesome, guys! <3HEY DO YOU LIKE CONTESTS AND WINNING PRIZES? SO DO I. LET'S DO A CONTEST.The PromptAs you might have inferred from the first line in this journal, I'm actually not very good at writing introductions to these things, so I guess I'll just jump right into it or something, idk. The prompt for this contest is draw any of my characters at a different age than what they normally appear as. So what does this entail? Well, you can draw an adult the way you think they'd look as a child, or you could draw a kid as a grown-ass adult-- hell, you can even draw what you think my characters would look like if they belonged in a retirement center! Bonus points if you come up with a new outfit for them, as well! It's really all up to you.

A leetle love storyKinda.I was just telling :iconmoldybass: this and figured it's too good of a tale not to share (and those who know me irl, i.e. :iconmyhatseatpeople: know this and know even moreso why it's so amazing)Well, once upon a time - a couple of years or so back, my older brother got himself quite wasted. In the melee of his drunken nature, he was trying to find his way home and somehow lost all of his clothes and was near the allotments on the main road to town. There, he stole himself a cabbage and tried to make his way home with it, merrily smashed, but was caught by the police and put in a cell for a night.My brother become the nudist cabbage thief.Years later, he (managedlololool) got himself a girlfriend who came down with him from Winchester to visit for a while. She got very drunk one night and tried to steal a coliflower from the same allotments, saying "she wanted to bring something for the sunday dinner". Luckily my brother was fully clothed and sober and convinced her to leave

"Great Exhibit"
It was a very interesting layout of the Greenville/Spartanburg areas and the mountains in the middle. The many different city designs they had, along with the industrial and farmlands dotted with a variety of animals was quite impressive. Also the knowledge and the readiness of the volunteers working the display, to answer questions from both young and old alike, was excellent. It is an excellent place to take kids to enjoy. The HO scale trains(40 of them I believe) were something of beauty. Well worth the $5.00 admission fee, of which i believe some goes to local charities. Check it out if in the Greenville area. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

If the Frenchman (and France) is up to his knees in mud, you can well take for granted that Britain is about 6 feet under the mud. It's all envy of the French for not following Britain's lead and sinking as they already did.
Regarding the illustration: it reminds me of Laurel and Hardy - the thin Frenchman is Laurel and the fat German is Hardy.
Offensive? Perhaps some French readers might take offence, but certainly not the Germans. Please, ladies and gentlemen, Germany is the world's third-largest economy, and the Germans are very conscious of that.
As a result, nobody in Germany really cares a jot about what the British think and say. Especially since Britain is not even a member of the eurozone ...
Your analysis of this article should do well in a 9th grade history class.
I recomend that you drop the part about people moving to China for work.
You should also consider change the sentence: "The failure of the EU would lead to a failure of any of its efforts to exert economic pressure on aggressive nations, as well as cripple its ability to respond to hostility to NATO...."
This is a run on sentence, and will be more effective by separating each major point into a different sentence.
Also, the article is not as much about a failure of the EU as it is about a major recession. A little adjustment of that phrase will help your accuracy.
I hope this helps, and good luck on your assignment.
Suppose European economy comes to rescue wall street. And France, England or German economy take it very profitable. Melting down of US economy, they take it as boon.In the era of globalisation any such step of MNC or TNC can not be generally objected by any state economy. In lieu of the state economy MNC or TNC may buy the toxicated bank.Does it speculate multi polarity of economical power ?
Starbuck11:I do not find it offensive, do not worry the German media also have a go at the English stereotypes, the tabloids can be especially bad.I had a good laugh when I saw those pictures, the world would really be boring if every single stereotype were banned in the interests of political correctness.

"Nope not at all. He forgot to fit in the british counterpart though. And that would have been the fat guy in the wheelchair form "Little Britain". ;)"
Exactly !! That's why I find the illustration so offensive : there isn't any sense of self-derision, only a crass way to mock Germans or French.

waouh !! so I guess you must be some kind of dumb warmongering god-fearing conservative, right ? ;)
honestly, it wasn't for PC that I was making that comment. a satirical illustration is supposed to be ... satirical and shocking. What I found offensive was the typical and archaic deep-england view of French and Germans in htat cartoon, when the UK is far from being "healthy" in the current economic environment.
why don't you see an ugly fat burger-eating Uncle Sam, firing at fleeing civilians while claiming "Be happy, we are bringing freedom to you" ? that's statirical too ... wouldn't you find it offensive though ?
I guess I should "thank them" for not adding some swastikas too ...

btw, doesn't anyone find the illustration next to the article extremely stereotypical and offensive ?
@Elik .. are you serious when you say you are ninth grade ? coz your analysis is flawed on multiple points.
1) no market economy is "too big too fail", it's only a matter a financial disruption threshold. For example, the big advantage of the US is its role as a reserve currency in addition to its size and economic flexibility. The European economies are both stronger (western and scandinavian countries) and weaker (latin and eastern) at the same time in the current crisis
2) a severe slowdown in European countries economic activity would definitely contribute negatively to the growth of export-led economies such as in Asia (China, India, ASEAN ...), but that wouldn't stop them from growing due to internal dynamisms and diversity of world markets
3) there is NO WAY that you'll see an massive influx of European workers to China, India or any BRIC or emerging countries, because of economic slowdown ... and that's due not just to the alien (Indian, Chinese cultures for any European), but also to the poor social environment (wage levels and legal enforcement of rules). Only educated workers might do the trip, except that they already got plenty of better-paid alternatives in Europe or other advanced economies.
4)The EU is not the whole of Europe. Pretending otherwise would equate NAFTA being equal to the American Continent. In addition NAFTA is not limited to the US, but also include Mexico and Canada. If you were to make a comparison, then think about Western and Latin Europe as the US, the Scandinavians as Canada, and Central and Eastern Europe as Mexico ... that'll go a long way to help explain the complexity of the European economies.
5)In regard to diplomatic and political influence worldwide (NATO, UN), economic wealth is a driving force to explain one's bloc rise and projection of power. But as it stands, European countries have large untapped reserves of power/wealth/influence due to the lack of rationalization (safeguarding sovereigntist prerogatives) ... and if China/India are real players at the UN, Russia is an irritant player against NATO, but no more a european security threat, than the US is an irritant world destabilizer through is crusading ethos.
5) Finally I would agree with those that argue that there is a general over-pessimistic assesment of European economies resilience by US and UK analysts. Measured in terms of GDP, European growth might look sluggish, but it is nonetheless solid and has great potential (Central and Eastern Europe). Plus, we still have to witness a European concerted social policy to favor a baby boom (or at least encourage natality).
That would go a long way to re-dynamise European politics, societies and economies ...
What i would like to know is, what are the consequences for the american and british economies? I have the impression, Britain could be hit even worse than the US. Isn't the UK too dependent on the city of London?The AIG meltdown was caused by the small London office. I recommend to read: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/business/28melt.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slog... thousends of bankers (and other people depending on them) losing their jobs in London, will the property market there collapse as well?It looks as if the anglo-american banking system wasnt so superior after all. An economey based on gambling cant work out in the end (thats my impression). At least the US have some high tech companies, what does the UK have?
The Economist gives too much importance to such things as a flexible labour market. True, Germany's economy is not as flexible as America's (it has never been), but its strengths lie elsewhere. Germany has
- a disciplined and well-educated workforce
- an industrial landscape unrivaled anywhere else in Europe
- German companies are very good at selling their products to customers abroad. Countries in Asia and in Latin America are craving for western technology, and German companies are their first choice. Only last week, Germany's Sunday newspaper "Welt am Sonntag" reported on how the new, supermodern "SkyTrain" metro in Thailand's capital Bangkok has been completely delivered and assembled by Siemens.
On the face of it, Germany's economic prospects look brighter than those of the UK.
@Elykever heard of domestic demand? BRIC has a very strong dommestic demand to bank upon. In India market penetration rate has been only 15%. :P :D
yeah I had to do a current event for my 9th grade history class so this is the article I did it on and this is what I said about it. what say you dear readers?This article is important because if the EU economy collapses it will take a massive toll, exporters of products and materials to Europe like china (manufactured goods) and Russia (oil, natural gas, and materials) will suddenly be without anyone to buy their products. It will also mean that any county with a growing economy, like china, will be flooded with educated and noneducated Europeans looking for work. If the EU economies fail that will impact the USA as well, taking away the major export market leaving the USA very vulnerable. The failure of the EU would lead to a failure of any of its efforts to exert economic pressure on aggressive nations as well as cripple it ability to respond to hostility to NATO, giving Russia virtually free rain over the near eastern world (Eastern Europe and undeveloped western Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan, Georgia). It would also weaken the UN which derives most of its power from its European members.I think that the EU will not have as big as a fall as America, partly because of Germany's relatively strong economy and the diversity of its member nations. The EU is too big to fail just because of a market correction that has mostly focused on the American economy which is still somewhat stable. The danger of the EU economies failing is real but in the short term this is little to worry about but increase in unemployment and a mild recession. The long term effects of the economic deterioration of America has yet to be seen and will have a large effect on many, but not all, European economies direction into the future. The future is not set for the EU's economy and the right actions now could avoid continued serious losses and bring the EU's economy as a whole back from the brink of a major recession.yeah I had to do a current event for my 9th grade history class so this is the article I did it on and this is what I said about it. what say you dear readers?
Anyway, if it is not by France Europe will suffer strains from Britain which is, now, more than teetering on the brink of recession, but actually in a real one. The downward spiral is open; Trichet ought, now, to do his job, more cleverly than Paulson is doing.
European economies were less stuffed of credit derivatives than the US one; let's hope we will need less medicine than our counterparts.

Post-Modern Classics, 12-18: Ohad Naharin Unlocking Gaga
(To celebrate its tenth anniversary as the leading dancer-driven publication, the Dance Insider is reflecting on Post-Modern classics, as captured by Dance Insider critics in performances around the world over the past decade. This review and interview from the Dance Insider archive was first published on November 10, 2006.)
SAN FRANCISCO -- Sometimes it is not just the performance of a choreographic piece that has an impact, but also the serendipitous events surrounding that performance that covertly conspire to reshape one's perceptions of that first viewing. And so my recent experience with the Tel-Aviv-based Batsheva Dance Company turned out to be far richer than I could have imagined before I walked into the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater for the Thursday, October 26 performance of artistic director Ohad Naharin's "Three." The next day, both interviewing Naharin and participating in a company warmup gave me further insight into the performance and deepened my appreciation of these exceptional artists.
Granted, I had already been to YBCA the previous Tuesday night to see two films, "Israel Dancing," a documentary by Czech television and "Boobies," a dance choreographed by Inbal Pinto and performed by her company. The latter was so long and eclectic, or derivative, that you could use it as the sole visual aid to teach a course on the influence of every dance and theater style of the 20th century on current work. The former featured some interesting footage of various Israeli dance companies as well as interviews with choreographers. The one moment that lodged in my mind was Naharin saying, "Everybody should dance every day, for a few minutes at least."
Now it's Thursday night, as I take my seat after conversing with other critics, dancers, and a couple of my teachers in the lobby. It's quite gratifying to see so many from the local dance community in attendance. "Three" runs 70 minutes, with no intermission. There are three sections (hence the name), which I later learn by searching online are called Bellus (beauty), Humus (earth) and Secus ('otherwise' or 'to the contrary' in the Latin legal definition; "this...not this" in Naharin's more poetic rendering). They can be performed separately as well as together, I also read.
The opener, Bellus, is danced to a number of Bach's "Goldberg Variations," recorded by Glenn Gould. (I confess that I am a serious admirer of the late Canadian pianist.) Basically the dance begins with a solo section, then a second dancer enters and stands to the side. As the first dancer exits, the second continues with some of the same choreographic material as well as new phrases, while a third enters, then the second dancer exits and the third begins, and so on. There is a pas de deux and a section of ten dancers running and jumping in what I would call an imaginary primitive folk dance. In the final section the movement is both new and recycled from previous sections, but seamlessly woven together, befitting the nature of musical variations. For me, there is one exquisite section in which the dancers stand in a line across the stage facing the audience. Each performer gently raises his/her arms straight up, sometimes from the shoulder, sometimes only from the elbow, at varying times and at varying speeds. There is no readily obvious pattern, though the complexity increases; then they shift into new material that includes different gestures and epaulement (angling the shoulders), executed while they're still in line. It is so utterly simple yet so profoundly deep and resonates with the spirit of Bach's music in a mysterious way, visually reflecting its essence without being a slave to the notes, motifs or compositional form.
In Humus, to music by Brian Eno, nine women explore weight, balance and gravity, first in a very slow and purposeful manner then gaining momentum as they walk or run around the stage to another location for another exploration of the possibilities of their bodies.
It is the last part, Secus, that is the most substantial, both in length and choreography. Over the course of 35 minutes, to Ohad Fishof's compilation of music (Chan Chan, Kid 606 and Rayon [mix: Stephan Ferry], AGF, Fennesz, Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, Seefeel, and The Beach Boys), the dancers go ever so gradually from the chaos of everyone doing something different to the entire ensemble moving in unison. One section has the performers in three groups. One dancer from each articulates a brief phrase or action, then goes to the end of the line while the next dancer does the step in his/her own personal way. Usually there are only two or three repetitions before the dancers move on to new movement phrases. At one point the women on the right turn their backs one at a time to the audience, jump straight up in the air and quickly pull their pants down and up, flashing ever so briefly their derrieres. The men in the middle also pull their pants down, again one by one, but facing the crowd while concealing their private parts between their legs, a la emasculated Ken dolls. In general, the choreography for Secus is brilliantly crafted, from the use of space, to the permutations and combinations of movement phrases and finally to the ominous ensemble marching around the stage, hunched over, grabbing the air and chanting the word "welcome" as the lights dim.
Rarely do I see such emotionally powerful dancers. They are not mere automatons replicating steps. They touch us in a profoundly human way because their movement is born from intensely personal depths.
The next morning I meet Naharin at his hotel for an interview. We find a quiet corner in the atrium on the mezzanine and settle in. As we talk for more than half an hour, what follows are only a few main points of our conversation:
Aimee Ts'ao: You seem to resist being called an Israeli choreographer.
Ohad Naharin: It's trivial information in terms of what I really do. Because [then] you put all the Israeli choreographers in one box. I think the community of choreographers shouldn't have national, ethnic or religious connotations. I'm also an American citizen, by the way. So you can call me an American-Israeli choreographer. My grandparents were from Russia and Poland, so maybe you can call me a Russian-Polish-Israeli-American choreographer. Being Israeli is not even a race; being Israeli describes geographically where I'm from. It doesn't tell anything about who I am or what I am.
AT: I'm reading a biography of Gertrude Bell called "Desert Queen." She was a British woman who lived and worked in the Middle East from the 1890s through the 1920s. It's all the same problems we still have today. Nothing has changed. It really reinforces for me that the world doesn't really change that much in a very fundamental way.
ON: That's reassuring too.
AT: But it's sad on the other hand.
ON: Very sad, I agree.
(Later, responding to a follow-up question in which I ask his opinion on the Israeli occupation, the wall and Israel's recent actions in Lebanon, he offers: "The current situation is not new, it shows ignorance on the part of our leaders and many people, and it is distorting the desire for peace. It is the same as what is going on with the current government in the USA. It is not stupidity, this ignorance is intelligent but a one-way one, in which our leaders react only to their own reflections while totally blind to what is really in front of them. It means that they are not in touch with reality -- while possessing so much power they create innocent victims, unnecessary suffering, and a much less secure world.")
AT: What made you start to dance?
ON: I don't know exactly what you mean, but when I think of starting to dance, it's starting to live. As long as I can remember I'm dancing. Not dancing in a classroom, but being very aware of my body, my weight, being aware of the pleasure and joy I got out of movement, of the extreme physicality and effort. I think a lot of how we dance today has to do not with just our training, it has a lot to do with how we grew up, our genes, and what we did since we were born, with our body development. Our weaknesses, our strengths, our sexuality, our intelligence, our awareness of the universe has a lot to do with how we dance.
AT: How did you arrive at developing Gaga [as Naharin calls the movement language he uses in daily company training]?
ON: In order to be able to talk about it, I have to decide to make it more systematic than it really is. I've decided to talk about two important points, or maybe three. The first point will be my back injury. More than 20 years ago I had a very serious back injury, where I shattered a disc and I was paralyzed in my left leg and I didn't think I'd be able to dance. I had a serious operation, but I was already choreographing, so coming back from the injury I needed two things: to get my body to move a little bit and also to be able to give other people the keys to the way to move in my work. This process of finding keys for me and for my dancers brought me to deal with my weaknesses and efficiency of movement. I needed to be so efficient because I was so limited. I developed an awareness that had to do with finding where in my body I'm not hurting and where in my body I have unused muscles, unused movement. I discovered my explosive power, the efficiency of movement. I started to really be able to connect between pleasure and pain, and between effort and joy. At the same time I needed to articulate it because I needed to give it to myself and others. So it became a language and a method. That was one, then about ten years ago, almost as a joke I started meeting [with] a group of non-dancers, workers of Batsheva company who are not dancers [but] who wanted to dance. So I started meeting [with] a group of five people twice a week in the morning. Very quickly I realized in these meetings with non-dancers, I learned a lot about movement, movement habits, all the things I described before but in a new light because none of them had the ambition to be on stage. They just wanted to feel better, and to move better and to get stronger. So then Gaga became something that had nothing to do with performing arts, just had to do with the maintenance of your body. Healing your body, finding pleasure and joy in movement and nothing to do with ambitions to be on stage. That became a very serious thing in my life -- working with non-dancers. Today we have a venue with hundreds of non-dancers who come to take Gaga classes.
AT: Is it possible for someone to start as a child and be completely trained as a dancer? Or do you need to supplement with other forms?
ON: Right now I think of Gaga as the higher education of dance. You do elementary school, high school and go to college. So Gaga is this part of your education. We do have schools which approach us to teach kids. I'm more interested [in working] with adults. This year we allowed Gaga to be in the curriculum of the performing arts school in Jerusalem. But that is for 17-year-olds and over, not for kids. All the people already have [dance] training. The important idea is to make people excel in the method they already know. It's not to abolish or cancel or change their techniques. If someone wants to be a ballerina, then Gaga can help her to be a ballerina. You should come and take Gaga class with us. We do it before the show as a warmup.
AT: I wanted to ask you about your choreographic process. Is it something that evolved, that you started in one spot and then the more you did it, you got more ideas of how you work? Not the actual choreography, but your whole way of thinking about it.
ON: Evolved is the key word. It's evolving. It's a process that takes me to places I've never been before. Otherwise I would be bored with it. The sense of discovery is always there. I think it has a lot to do with how my relationship with my dancers evolved, too. They [have] become more and more meaningful contributors to the process, especially since we started doing Gaga as our training about four years ago.
AT: I wanted to ask about music, because it is obvious that it's an important element for you.
ON: Yes, yes. There's something about music and structure and order and mathematics. There is something particular about this Bach piece ["Goldberg Variations"] and the way that Glenn Gould is playing it that the beauty of it really comes from making the music very bare. It's so beautiful without any decoration. You really feel how the structure of the piece and the rhythm and the logic of it actually can create all the emotions and transport you into this landscape. This music is also almost like the sound of a metronome. Something so clean and minimalistic about it. Somehow meditating with it brought me to create the system of lifting the arms [in the Bellus section], which is really different from the system of the music. But I still feel loyal to it somehow.
AT: You also have a sense of space.
ON: It's space that gives me the reason I can dance. I consider the importance of space in my existence more than time. I feel time passes anyway. I have no control over time, but I have control over space. I can really change the space and create the space, but I cannot change time and I cannot create time. I'm aware of time, how long it takes to do something, and I make a decision how long I want to do something, but it's more about how long it takes to go from one place to another and that has more to do with space than with time.
AT: Is there anything else you'd like to say?
ON: Every interviewer asks me that. Yes. Cover your mirrors or break them. Don't use mirrors when you dance. Don't use mirrors when you live. They are very limiting, they are an illusion. They have really stopped dance from developing as far as it could go without [them]. That's for sure. Every time I come to a ballet company to choreograph, I cover the mirrors. At the beginning it is so difficult, but at the end of the process, the dancers are so grateful.
Much later the same day I arrive at the stage door of YBCA, wondering if trying to do the Gaga warmup is really such a good idea. Nearly two years ago, I was hit by a car while walking across a street. The whiplash from being thrown at least eight to ten feet still plagues me and I have had major setbacks from such minor events as picking up a flowerpot. The ballet classes I do every day are at least a known quantity and quality, but what am I really signing on for now?
On stage the company is getting notes from Naharin, and I watch the dancers run through several sections of "Three," which I saw last night. Finally they get a 15-minute break before warmup and I continue my stretching even more as a prophylactic against re-injuring myself. I need not have worried. Gaga turns out to be very liberating. I can just tune into what my body is feeling and then figure out what it needs. I am listening deeply to what it is telling me about its limits, but it reminds me, too, that there are strengths. Watching Batsheva's members doing Gaga also shows me why they are so powerful on stage, individually and as an ensemble. By the end of the warmup, my body feels looser and more fluid than it has for a long time. I am positively exhilarated. I'm a convert; I'm thinking about incorporating some of it into my daily routine. You might even say -- I'm going ga-ga over Gaga.

Pardew: 'It's Been Tough On Ranger'
Alan Pardew has told his young players they may have to go out on loan to learn their trade.
Alan Pardew: "When this (Europa League) comes around in February, I am hoping to have a stronger position in the Premier League and to have a stronger squad to pick from, certainly stronger than I had tonight (against BORDEAUX).
"A few of those young players, like Nile Ranger (pictured right)....he has only had one reserve game and that was a bit tough on him.
"But we felt he deserved the right to play a game and he has trained well.
"But certainly looking at my group there, I think they need to learn a little bit more about this game away from the black and white and the pressure of the jersey here and the level we are playing at.
"I will probably look at loaning a few of those who played tonight, hopefully after January when I have got a stronger position in the squad.
"The pitch was difficult. They play rugby on that pitch and it was heavy on the legs.
"I thought they coped better with the pitch and they were the better side and they deserved to win."

The unbreakable comb!
I don't remember how many of the large tooth combs with a handle that I have broken in the past. The handles tend to break at the point where they join the comb section. This one is sturdy and certainly won't break. Thank you for superior quality merchandise that is hard to find in the market place today.

Life sentence upheld, the convicts escape death penalty
Gladys — wife of Australian missionary Graham Staines, who was burnt to death along with their two sons in Orissa over a decade ago — says she holds no bitterness towards the killers.
"Because of forgiveness, I hold no bitterness towards the persons who killed my family," the 59 year-old woman told PTI in an e-mail.
Her remarks came a day after Dara Singh and Mahendra Hembram, the convicts in the case, escaped the death penalty with the Supreme Court ruling that the crime was not "rarest of rare" and upholding the life sentence awarded to them.
"Forgiveness is needed to check hatred and violence... God forgives but the earthly consequences of that sin continue... Forgiveness does not change the consequences for the wrong. [The two] should not be mixed up.
"Forgiving did not mean that the normal judicial process of India should not be followed," Gladys, who was conferred the Padma Shri in 2005, said.
Gladys, who is currently staying in Australia with her daughter and father, said she would continue to serve the needy as was desired by Graham.
On January 22, 1999, Staines and his two minor sons — Philip (10) and Timothy (6) — were burnt to death by a mob at Manoharpur, Keonjhar district.
Claims innocence
Dara Singh alias Rabindra Pal Singh, lodged in Keonjhar district jail, has claimed that he is innocent. "If it is [the life sentence] the verdict of the Supreme Court, I accept it. My conscience says I am innocent. But I will go by the court order," a jail official said quoting Dara.

A guest services manager at a hotel is responsible for ensuring that all aspects of a customer's stay at their hotel is not only satisfactory, but exceeds their expectations. The guest services manager oversees booking processes and handles the reservation and scheduling of offered amenities (like spa treatments), and is also responsible for ensuring efficient handling of room service orders. They generally work with other managers in departments such as housekeeping to ensure that all hotel guests have enjoyable and memorable experiences.

Though not the most common occurrence, Guest Services Hotel Managers sometimes become Operations Managers, where the average income is $58K per year. Guest Services Hotel Managers moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as Hotel General Managers or Assistant Hotel General Managers. The median paychecks in those roles are $18K higher and $1K higher, respectively.
Survey results show that Guest Services Hotel Managers typically report just a few professional skills. Most notably, skills in Customer Service, Customer Relationship Management, Administration, and Customer Relations are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Customer Relations and Administration. Most people skilled in Customer Relations are similarly competent in Administration and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Guest Services Hotel Managers do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $31K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $37K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $38K in this role. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $39K.

I would want to be reincarnated as one of those deer in Nara. They are so adorable, and they are said to be messengers of Shinto gods or something like that ^_^ Also, they get fed food by the people who visit lol
As a thing or animal? Well, I'd be reincarnated as a super robot on earth, sometime far in the future, during which time man has fallen under superior intelligence generated by man's own metal creation! But I'm made of not metal, but synthetically created diamond, or zhiamond! It's four times stronger than real diamond, and it composes 90% of my structure. Yes!
With thought patterns and reasoning that of a super computer, my fellow Subheroidians march across earth, terminating all bio organisms, and the only hope for the remaining earthlings is to reach Galdaria X-6 4, a super magnetic electric pulse generator! The most advanced of its kind, the Galdaria X-6 4 SMELP-G was launched into space in the year 4000T.3. The super robots soon took control of earths weapons systems, and shot the Galdaria X-6 4 SMELP-G out of the sky, but, unknown to them, it is still operational!
The Galdaria X-6 4 SMELP-G still emits some electrical fields, which scramble the robots electrical thought patterns when they venture too close to it, completely veiling its own existence to all non-bio organic organisms.
Will the humans be able to brake through the robot barricades? Will they survive the enemy barrage? Will the robots destroy the Galdaria X-6 4 SMELP-G before the humans can reach it? Is earth doomed to be run by mechanical beings?
Find out this spring in theaters near you. 10/10/06.
...What were we talking about?
Uhm, I agree! The tame deer of Nara is adorable!:2thumbs:Quote:
