DECA Competitions: Where Future Marketing Leaders are Made

The non-profit student marketing association DECA prides itself on helping high school students learn the necessary skills to become future leaders in marketing and business. In order to learn these skills, students compete locally and nationally at DECA conferences. These competitions consist of role plays where the students act as already hired employees who are presented with a marketing or business situation that must be handled. After devising a strategy and solution for the problem, the students then present their ideas to their boss, a business professional who acts as the judge. Below is an example of the role play that students would be presented to in the Food Marketing Associate Level Event:

PARTICIPANT INSTRUCTIONS PROCEDURES
1. The event will be presented to you through your reading of these instructions, including the Performance Indicators and Event Situation. You will have up to 10 minutes to review this information to determine how you will handle the role-play situation and demonstrate the performance indicators of this event. During the preparation period, you may make notes to use during the role-play situation.

2. You will give an ID label to your adult assistant during the preparation time.

3. You will have up to 10 minutes to role-play your situation with a judge (you may have more than one judge).

4. You will be evaluated on how well you meet the performance indicators of this event.

5. Turn in all your notes and event materials when you have completed the role-play.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

1. Explain employment opportunities in business.

2. Maintain appropriate personal appearance.

3. Explain the rights of workers.

4. Analyze employer expectations in the business environment.

5. Foster positive working relationships.

EVENT SITUATION
You are to assume the role of customer service associate for FOOD PLUS, a grocery superstore. While you have only been at the store for less than one year, you were recently promoted from cashier to the customer service desk. Your professionalism, reliability and ability to work with customers were the main reasons you became the stores youngest customer service associate. The assistant manager (judge) would like you to develop a presentation for employees discussing the stores policies on employee appearance.

FOOD PLUS is the largest grocery store in the area, traditionally offering several fast-food options in addition to its grocery selections. Recently the stores manager complained to the assistant manager (judge) about the appearance of the employees. Over the past few months there have been lapses in appropriate dress/appearance primarily with the younger employees. Several employees have substituted unapproved white shirts and black pants/skirts for their work uniforms, hair has not been groomed neatly and tied back when appropriate, and uniforms are wrinkled. Also, body piercing and excessive jewelry have become an issue despite written requirements for no visible sign of body piercing (except earrings) and no excessive jewelry. Expectations for appropriate appearance are thoroughly discussed during the interviewing process and are presented to the employee again upon hiring.

Since most of the problem seems to be with employees about your age, the assistant manager (judge) has asked you to make a short presentation on these issues during the employee meeting this week. The assistant manager (judge) would like to preview your presentation prior to the meeting.

You will present your remarks in a role-play to take place in the assistant managers (judges) office. The assistant manager (judge) will begin the role-play by greeting you and asking to hear your presentation. Once you have made your presentation and have answered the assistant managers (judges) questions, the assistant manager (judge) will conclude the role-play by thanking you for the presentation.

The Versatile Votive Candle

Have you ever given any thought to the versatility of a candle? Why would you anyway? Is there more versatility to a certain kind of candle over any others?

Lets consider votive candles for a few moments. Think about how they are used and how often people use them over any other style of candle. It could be that the votive candle has reached the pinnacle of popularity.

Versatility? Yes, of course. The votive candle can be used and displayed in a variety of ways. Votive holders currently on the market hold your votives on a tabletop or in a wall sconce, and come in limitless designs and patterns.

Convenience? Absolutely! Due to the size of the votive candle, commonly appearing in the 2 to 4 ounce range, it can be utilized practically anywhere. It is small, unique, unobtrusive and unconditionally delivers in performance. Also, since the votive candle is usually burned in a votive glass, very little maintenance is required and we can count this as a safety measure as well. An occasional trimming of the wick to control the flame and you are all set.

Popularity? Answer this question for yourself. Ask or visit anybody you know who burns candles in their home: What style of candle do you use most often? Chances are, if you are visiting them, you will not have to ask because you will see the votive displayed somewhere.

Attractive? Yes and the sky is the limit for colors and design. As mentioned earlier, votive candles are usually burned in a votive glass. Now if it is a clear votive glass, your choice of a candle color is limitless. And if it is a scented candle, the color choice is more often relevant to the scentand there are countless scents.

The votive glass comes in numerous colors as well. Incorporated with the votive candleholder, votive sconce or whatever vessel you choose, your imagination can take you to unprecedented designs.

Suggestions? Okay. Since the votive candle, as with any other candle, is decorative in itself when in use, there is no need to be too extravagant. Something simple will do just fine, such as a wrought iron votive holder. They go very well with practically any niche in your home, appearing delicate, elegant and rustic at the same time.

Votive candles can accomplish what any other candle can do. Whether it is burned for attractiveness, aromatherapy or emergency lighting when the power goes out, your votive candle will be there, ready to assist you.

How To Find Free VOIP

When it comes to finding free VOIP (voice over internet protocol) you need to ensure that both you and the person you wish to talk to have the same software downloaded on to their PCs. Therefore if you are someone who has Skype VOIP software on their PC then the person you wish to talk to should have the same software package on their PC as well. But in order to get the best out of this technology you will need to have the following:-

1. A good high speed internet connection such as LAN (local area network) or DSL (a high speed service).

2. A computer plus an adapter.

3. A special VOIP or broadband phone or you may decide to use a good quality headset with microphone attached.

4. The essential software that allows you to make all your VOIP calls.

However when it comes to obtaining free VOIP you may find that you are causing yourself more problems than you would expect if you are using a normal land line. Certainly you will find that you are actually saving money when the service is working properly but you will find it much more difficult to use especially when there are problems with your internet service or connection. Also it is important that you place a good security system on your PC in order to prevent any calls that you make from being hijacked otherwise you will then find that others can become party to your conversations with others without you even knowing about it.

Also when it comes to using the services for obtaining free VOIP calls it is important that you choose a company who is going to be available on a regular continuous basis. Certainly if this is the only way in which you are going to primarily use this as your way of communicating with others then you need to look closely at what areas each service provider covers along with how much they actually charge you to use their service initially.

If you are seriously considering using a free VOIP ser vice then you need to look closely at those providers who are able to meet your needs as much as possible as well as what kind of rating they have in the market place. You will also need to look at each one to discover which is the most affordable and what exactly each has to offer in their particular plans. If you are someone who is likely to be making a lot of international calls then you need to find a free VOIP service provider that offers you both local, national and international calls as part of their package or else you may find your bills becoming higher because you are required to pay an additional fee to make international calls. By comparing the various services that the providers have to offer will help you in the end to make a more informed decision as to whether free VOIP is worth having or not.

Build A Wireless Data Acquisition Network!

Today with the swift rise of WiFi and bluetooth technologies, the wireless data acquisition network is becoming more and more a possibility. That is why; you find a number of users are moving towards a wire less system. The data acquisition system block diagram might look all the same as in the case of the wired system. That is so because; all that the wireless data acquisition network replaces is the wired network alone. It works exactly the same way only difference is that instead of transmitting over a wired network, the system would transfer the data over a wireless data acquisition network.

How does this work? In these systems, normally a transducer is fixed with a wireless capable transmitter. This transmitter will be in line with any of the standard communication protocol. There might be the WiFi or bluetooth enabled transmitter embedded in the transducer itself. This would help the designers to get the signal from the transducer over a wire less system. In those conditions, using a standard WiFi or a bluetooth is not possible since only digital signals could be transmitted over such networks. Therefore, these get transmitted as a RF signal. The RF signal is isolated and the value taken before making use of it at the destination point.

In the cases where the Analog to digital converter does the job of transmission, it is normally transferred in a digital mode. Under this condition, it is found that the standard forms of transmission carry more weight and it is also easy to use such data. The data would then ensure that the WiFi or bluetooth is received using an appropriate design. In such cases it is also very easy and comfortable to provide a network since these devices also provide a plug out of its Ethernet port. This will bring the device in to the computer network without any issues. In addition to this, the software programming for capturing the input from such an Ethernet port is pretty easy as well.

You can build your own wireless data acquisition network using the relevant devices for these purposes available over the internet. There are sites that specialize in marketing such devices. Many of them have the capability to design and deliver the wireless data acquisition network depending upon your needs. On many occasions, the entire network is designed over a wireless platform. This is easier to do than the wired ones. Cost wise of course, the wired might be cheaper when you are investing into the equipments. But that is short run one; in the long run, the wireless data acquisition network will become cheaper and more comfortable to use. The reason for such a happening is that the initial investment in the wireless data acquisition network is to take care of the complete setup; since there is no involved hardware maintenance and these devices do not run through the process of maintaining such a job of network cabling, etc., There is also a reduction in the overall gain of the company in employing wireless data acquisition network.

Two Way Radios - A Cheaper Alternative

The utility of two way radios may be questioned by some people. What they may think is that the traditional method of using mobile phones or telephones is equally efficient in ensuring smooth communication anywhere. Then what is the necessity of spending money on these radios? But the fact is that these methods offer paid service; each and every call you make costs you something.

In comparison to this, communicating with a two way radio is far more cost-effective. Moreover, they are easy to use. They come with a push to talk button; in order to initiate a conversation, you will just have to push this single button. Whats more, they are equally fit for indoor as well as outdoor usage. So, one can make use of them at offices, during road trips, in malls, and even at the time of hunting.

As two way radios are based on wireless technology, it is easier to carry them from here to there. Various models are available in the market. Some of them are cheap and easily affordable, even by people with limited budget. Flashy radios are also there for the well-off group. In order to make inter-departmental communication easier, a corporate office can buy quite a few cheap radios.

Thus, two way radios make life easier, by helping people out with their wireless communication needs in a cost-effective manner. Although they cover only a limited area, they are certainly a better alternative if you keep the cost part in mind. There are no monthly rentals, no per minute call charge and no roaming charges.

When you are out there in the market to buy a two way radio, make it a point that you make some comparisons. Comparisons will help you buy the right product. So, after you buy it, you will get satisfactory service from it.

He has won appreciation especially for enlightening people about the latest communication gizmos...the Two way radios

720p Vs 1080i HDTV

Is 720p vs 1080i worth being concerned about? Yes and no. If you're a consumer looking for a new TV, you can happily ignore the 720p vs 1080i debate because every TV which is described as HDTV or HDTV Ready is required to support both formats.

NOTE: You should be aware though that lots of TVs which support 1080i have fewer than 1080 lines and so scale the 1080 signal down. That's not a huge issue as even scaled down 1080i is far ahead of a regular NTSC signal. It is worth bearing in mind that more expensive HDTVs tend to have better scalers than cheaper ones, and this may be an issue.

However, for broadcasters it's a live issue. Should they broadcast 1080 lines of interlaced video or 720 lines of progressive scan? They could just broadcast two signals, one in each format, but that would use up a huge chunk of bandwidth and be hugely expensive for very little gain.

To answer the question, it's important to understand the difference between 720p vs 1080i. A 720p signal is made up of 720 horizontal lines. Each frame is displayed in its entirety on-screen for 1/30th of a second. This is know as progressive scan (hence the 'p')The quality is like watching 30 photographic images a second on TV. A 1080i signal comprises 1080 horizontal lines but all the lines are not displayed on-screen simultaneously. Instead, they are interlaced (hence the 'i'), ie every other lines is displayed for 1/60th of a second and then the alternate lines are displayed for 1/60th of a second. So, the frame rate is still 30 frames per second, but each frame is split into two fields, which your brain then puts together subconsciously.

Most of the time interlacing works fine, but for fast moving images, such as sports like baseball and hockey it can cause problems which manifest themselves as a 'stepping' effect on-screen. Progressive scan signals don't have this problem and so are better suited to sports.

ESPN puts it like this: 'Progressive scan technology produces better images for the fast moving orientation of sports television. Simply put, with 104 mph fastballs in baseball and 120 mph shots on goal in hockey, the line-by-line basis of progressive scan technology better captures the inherent fast action of sports. For ESPN, progressive scan technology makes perfect sense.'

Bottom line? For us, as consumers 720p vs 1080i is not a debate worth worrying about, so you can relax and focus on all the other criteria on your list when you buy your next HDTV.

Leather Wristbands & Bracelets Sweeping the Country In Popularity

Leather wristbands & bracelets started to come into popularity about 3 or 4 years ago. Celebrities started to wear them. Slowly, the general population started to wear them a little. Soon, they become no longer an accessory that was gothic or extreme, the more conservative leather wristbands and bracelets were becoming common among people with many different fashion tastes.

Leather cuff watches are a related accessory to leather wristbands. Cuff watches are leather band watches with wide leather bands, usually about 1.5-3 inches wide. About 3 years ago, there were about 100 cuff watches available for sale on ebay. As their popularity increased over the last 3 years, there are now over 3500 cuff watches available for sale on ebay.

Leather wristbands, cuffs and cuff watch bands have become a fashion necessity these days. Nowadays, there are many celebrities with all kinds of different fashion tastes who wear them. Leather bands is an accessory that has gone from having an extreme or punk stigma, to being completely necessary to mainstream fashion.

Leather wrist accessories are no longer popular with just men. Women are wearing them almost as much as the men now. There are women's leather cuff watches and leather bracelets available in most clothing stores now.

There are many different kinds of leather bands available in stores now. For women, colored leather or suede bracelets and watch bands are popular. For men, it is popular for the bands to be a little wider, 2 inches or more. With a leather wristband or cuff watch band, it is popular now for the band to have a lot of texture, layers of leather, stitching or weaving.

Also, it has become quite popular for people to have their initials, name or a phrase engraved into the leather. There are many places available online that can do that now.

Three years ago, leather wrist accessories became available online with a much better selection than what was available in most retail stores. The retail stores had quite a delay before they figured out what people really wanted in a leather band.

I spotted the leather wristband and cuff trend about 3 years ago and could see the online selections keeping pace with the demand, but it took about another year or two before the retail stores started to come out with what the customers were really looking for in a leather band. In my opinion, most retail stores are still working on figuring out what is popular. I don't think they have quite figured it out yet. I think the selection for leather bands is much better online than what is available in retail stores.

I see this leather wristband, cuff and cuff watch band trend as being one that will not die anytime soon. I see the styles evolving and changing, even now. I think the styles will continue to change over the years, but, I think the popularity of leather wristbands & wide leather cuffs is here to stay, at least for the next decade or two.
