How Do You Define Advice :: Defintion Essays

How Do You Define "Advice" Advice, in my mind, is a form of one person helping another person out; whether it is in words or actions. About 90% of the time, I believe advice comes in the form of words. Advice can be verbally spoken to somebody, or typed/written and given to somebody. In either example, it's advice that's being given to help somebody out. The other way I mentioned was advice given by actions. In my own life, I'm trying to quit smoking cigarettes and finding it hard; especially when I look around and see others doing it. However, the advice I receive when I look around are from those not smoking and those hacking and spitting because they smoke. It's sort of subliminal for me in the sense that I'll be hacking and spitting if I don't quit. So they're giving advice to me in the form of their actions. In mentioning what advice is and how it's given, I ask myself how it works. This happens to be a rough question seeing how advice isn't this little piece of gum on the bottom of my shoe that I can just pick off and toss away. So know I find help in the example of John Sweat and his mechanic friend to help explain how advice works. John was stuck in a pickle jar and wasn't sure what to do. But his friend knew where he was in the jar (because he had been there himself), and decided to offer some advice. John was able to get unstuck because he listened to his friend and took his advice, believing that his friend knew what he was speaking about, and sensing his sincerity. By looking at this example, I have come to the conclusion that advice works when one person takes a conscious (or in my smoking example - an unconscious) effort, to give somebody an honest, experienced point-of-view about a situation in order to give that person help. From there, the advice will only work if the person receiving the advice takes it to heart and uses it. OK, so if this is how it works, what are some ways that it doesn't work? Well, it doesn't work when the advice giver is trying to use his advice given for his own personal gain. I believe the dark forces are at work here and therefore, they cannot succeed! Another way advice given doesn't work is when the person receiving the advice doesn't take it, like in my example of getting advice from my Dad.

Gamefowl Breeder

The establishment or â€Å"fixing† of such characteristics Is accomplished by repeated Infusions of those heartsickness without concern for genealogical purity or so called breed names. All which follows is merely an expansion and development of those principles. Throughout the following pages you will find the pronoun â€Å"l† used frequently. It Is strictly a style of writing. An informal conversation style, as If we were talking together, which makes for easier reading and clearer understanding.Definitely it is not a â€Å"know it all† attitude or any desire to pose as an authority. Rather it represents an honest expression of opinion based upon my own experiences. – Narragansett Chapter 1 The Uncertainties of Breeding The transmission of hereditary characteristics is beyond the comprehension of mankind. Our greatest scientists have identified, classified, named, and theorized upon the numerous factors involved, yet have never been able to create a livi ng organism or to predict with certainty what the various elements in combination would produce.Accordingly, it is no wonder that the most scientific practices result in failure, whereas an obscure and Improbable combination occasionally produces phenomenal results. An example of the latter comes to mind: (a) The Berg Blue Muffs which first were produced by a 16-year-old boy from a wild combination of game fowl. (b) The world's champion harness horse, Peter Manning, which was sired by an obscure young stallion mated to a slab sided mare which Warren Wright hitched to his wagon while delivering his yeast cakes. C) The Thomas W, Murphy family of â€Å"Abraham† fowl which resulted from a stolen nest mating of an unknown cook and a stray hen which hatched and raised her brood of chicks upon the grounds of Mr.. Murphy's neighbor, Abraham Strauss. Hence the name Abraham. These are but a few examples, no doubt you can enumerate many more. They are what I call â€Å"lottery ticketâ €  mating. You buy a lottery ticket for 50 cents and win a thousand dollars. Occasionally. But it can be done and has been done. It is the breeding practice followed by most cockers.Once in a great while they hit the jackpot, but 99% of the time they have to tear up the ticket and buy another one. From these examples you should recognize that there Is no sure fire formula for producing 100% winners. The most that we can hope to do is present a breeding system which on average will Improve your chances AT ruling above TTT level. 10 want extent you exceed sun bevel depends upon your personal qualifications of observation, selectivity and perseverance, remembering always that there are a hundred requirements for winning a cook fight, and a thousand ways to lose one.Breeding is only one of the many factors involved, but it is an important one, so lets see what we can do to improve our chances in that respect. Chapter 2 Things to Avoid I abhor the term PURE as applied to game fowl. In my 45 years experience I never found such to exist. Not genetically pure. You frequently hear reference to pure Hatch, or pure Keels, or pure Murphy. I knew intimately all three of these men during heir lifetimes yet never once did I ever hear one of them use the term pure when referring to his own or anyone else's fowl.They might say â€Å"this is what I call my number four yard, I've bred them together for several years along with their offspring, but they are coming small now and getting a bit fragile so I think next year I'll put another one of my socks in there to stiffen them up. † Or, â€Å"Walter sent me this cook which I've bred for a couple of years with good success. † But never † my pure No. 4 yard† or a â€Å"pure Keels cook. † They knew that such things did not exist, and never had existed, either on their yards or anyone else's.So many times people get a hen and a cook from a prominent breeder's yards and thereafter refer to them as p ure this, that or the other. That's crazy. The breeder himself, if he were honest, would not describe them in such terms. Just because both sides of the mating came from the same source does not make them pure. Far from it. Chances are that the prominent breeder has a dozen or more breeding yards on his place. Probably many of them are more or less related. Some may be inbred or lingered to a greater extent than the others. But it is a certainty that no two of them are the same, and not one of hem is pure.So how can the fowl you get from him be pure in the genetic sense and thereby be capable of transmitting characteristics with unfailing certainty? My great objection to the word pure is the harm it does to cockers who lean upon such erroneous term and rely upon those MIS-named fowl to transmit consistently the characteristics for which the family is noted. That's bad. Leads to all sorts of disappointments and loss of confidence. Breed Names Breed names are another one of my pet pee ves. People toss them around as if they were talking about some stable uniform substance like salt or sugar or soda.The truth is that such names so inaccurately describe the fowl being discussed as to be practically meaningless. A bird is referred to as being a pure Dad Glenn Whitehall, or a straight Albany, or an old-time Carney. The bird may be a good one, so far as that is concerned, but so far as his being what his name implied, it's dollars to doughnuts that the relationship does not exceed 10%. Here again the harm in using breed names is that it misleads others into thinking that they can procure the same good results as you have experienced simply by using a bird bearing the same breed name.The chances are that the two birds are not 5% related. For 32 years I was state distributor for Dodge automobiles. Upon countless occasions customers would come in and announce There's no need for you to give me a sales pitch, I know all about a Dodge. † So long as he was satisfied t here was no need to say witling, out ten truth was Tanat tender was not a nut, Dolt, Lemons, or engineering principle which was the same in this present Dodge as in the two or three he had owned previously. Only the name remained unchanged. The same situation exists in respect of breed names in game fowl.So, let's forget â€Å"breed names† and â€Å"purity† and examine the essential characteristics our brood fowl must possess, for such characteristics form a basis or foundation for this breeding system. Chapter 3 What to Look For Gameness Proper brood fowl must have many essential characteristics. Chief among them is that which commonly is called gameness. There has been so much written on this subject that I hate to mention it. All these three day tests, punishment tests, descriptive requirements have been worn threadbare. So I'll treat the subject here briefly and then drop it.If fowl do not measure up to my idea of gameness, I simply am not interested in them. Here it is: † An unquenchable determination to kill. † No matter what the conditions– ahead, behind, rattled, blinded, broken leg, no matter what. I want to see my brood cook ever and always trying to kill his opponent. All defensive fighting or â€Å"lying on his side, picking for an hour in a 120 degree sun† does not impress me at all. If he is not trying with all his heart every second to kill his opponent, regardless of all handicaps and circumstances, I Just am not interested. You can continue the discussion as long as you wish, but count me out.Proponents Let's start with the cook. Do you think with the acquisition of an ideal brood cook will be easy? Don't kid yourself. No matter how much money you spend, or how many high class events you attend, or how many top cockers you know, your chances of procuring an ideal brood cook on your first, second, or third attempt is very low. You could strike gold on your first claim, but the chances are that you will no t. But, don't give up. Persistence is one of the prime prerequisites of a successful breeder. In the first place the cook must be proponent. That is, he must be capable of passing along his own excellent qualities to his offspring.There is no way of determining whether or not a cook possesses this quality of proponents other than by trial and experience. No matter how marvelous a performer he is himself, if he does not pass along such qualities to his offspring he is of no value to you. I have seen countless instances, and probably you have too, where a fellow paid a big price for an outstanding performing cook only to have him produce nothing of merit. But because the fellow paid a big price for him he stuck with him year after year, and in the end it cost him many times the original price through using the worthless offspring.So be ever on the alert for this quality of proponents. A cook either has it or he hasn't. But if he does not have it, heave him right now. You can't change the situation, and you will only waste many years and much money by sticking by him, regardless of his source or price. The probabilities, and note that I say probabilities, for there is no certainty about it, are that a cook is more apt to be proponent if he is somewhat lingered or inbred rather tan Delving ten product AT a TLS cross. You wall nave to determine tens Trot ten man who bred him.Also you should ascertain if such cock's brothers, father, uncles on tot sides, etc. , If they did, your chances are improved. But if you find wide variations, where this fellow is merely an outstanding performer in a widely variable and commonplace family, you had better stop right there, for the probability of this guy reproducing himself is dim. Health Health. Robust, vigorous, teeming health. Big appetite. Easy mould. Ever aggressive. â€Å"Spring Busting Out All Over† type of health. It's one of the most important characteristics your brood cook can possess.Without it you are not go ing to be able to go very far in the breeding line before you break down. Peter Horrors use to pay more attention to a fowl's health record and that of his ancestors, and the conditions under which they where raised, than he did any other characteristic when selecting his brood stock. So give this feature great weight when selecting your own brood fowl. If you start out with some spindly, weak, thin feathered inbred â€Å"pure† cook of such and such a â€Å"breed name† you are not going to get very far. And the longer you stick with him the more time and money you are going to waste.Power More or less the same importance attaches to the feature of power. You can improve his quality by breeding to big strong brood hens, but each time you do it you are breeding away from the brood cook, thereby reducing his influence upon the line. Remember, what we are talking about now is the selection of a brood cook whose characteristics you wish to perpetuate. Accordingly, you shoul d start out with power as a prime prerequisite. It is a top requirement for a successful pit cook, so don't handicap yourself from the outset by selecting a brood cook which is deficient in this repeat.Cutting High on the list of priorities for a brood cook is that of cutting. If a cook does not have his quality I simply will not use him in the brood yard no matter how many other desirable qualifications he may possess. He may be healthy, game, strong as a bull, but if he is not a superior cutter I am not interested in using him in the brood yard. Butting is largely a matter of heel pinpointing a manner of striking. It is astonishing how many socks strike on the curve of the blade, or with their hocks or the bottom of their feet. Likewise, many socks never complete their stroke.They don't follow through. In baseball parlance they bunt, instead of swing. Their wings may make a great Mack which gives the erroneous impression of delivering a mighty blow, but their heels are bunting ins tead of swinging. Many times you will here someone say † now he is getting tired he will begin to cut. † And he does. But I always felt that such cutting was more the result of the adversary standing still or being immobile than it was of the first cook cutting better. In other words, he could hit a sitting duck but not one on the fly. I am not impressed by that sort of cutting.Any shooter can hit a tin can setting on a Thence post. I want ten Klan Tanat can â€Å"molten on ten TTYL. † It I for the eye to follow the movements of a cock's heels. At leas it is for me. But almost anyone can see the results of a blow. After each buckle or exchange of blows if you see that one cook appears to have shrunk about a pound, you can be sure that the opposing cook has done some effective cutting. â€Å"Look where he hits. † This is an obsession with me. If a cook does not look were he is hitting and strikes nothing, I want no part of him.So many socks have good leg act ion and strike properly but don't look were they are striking. They fan the air in all directions but hit nothing, wear themselves out and do no damage. On the other hand certain socks â€Å"draw a dead,† as gunners say, with every shot. If you are in the pit with him, or close by, you can see his eyes focus upon a certain portion his opponent's anatomy-head, breast, back- and strike within a quarter inch of where he is looking. It does not take many blows so directed to bring an opponent down. One such crack is more effective than a hundred wild failings in the air.Years ago old M. J. Bowen sent me a stag which had won seven times in short heels in his first season and was up for his eighth fight. I told M. J. To â€Å"cut it out† and send him to me, which he did. When the stag arrived I was gusted with him, long flat body, narrow shoulders, built Just like a duck. Nothing prepossessing about him. But when I sparred him I could see those beady eyes concentrate on a de finite spot every stroke he hit with marksmanship accuracy, and in no time at all he had my prize brood cook on the ropes. He taught me a lesson I have never forgotten.Weaknesses Rare is the cook which does not have a weakness of some sort. He may have a host of grand qualities, but if he has even one pronounced weakness his opponent is almost sure to find it and take advantage of it. The weakness could be any one of many: low- datedness, ducking,etc. You can breed out this weakness in time,but while doing so you are breeding out his good qualities as well. The result is that his influence in the line becomes lost entirely and you might Just as welling have started with him in the first place. You can't breed out the faults and remain the virtues.When one goes they all go. So in selecting your brood cook make sure he has no prominent weakness which you must get rid of. Chapter 4 Fighting Characteristics No two pope agree on how a cook should fight. Even after a fight is over they se ldom agree as to what enabled the one to win and caused the other to lose. One man is impressed by certain characteristics the other man by different ones entirely. The type of heel used causes further differences if opinion. Undoubtedly all of us are influenced by our early teachings. Subconsciously we remember what Uncle Ben or Old Man Smith told us years ago.Their teachings could be right or might well be wrong. I've seen men who've been fighting chickens for 60 years who were the poorest Judges of a cock's fighting form of anyone at pit side. Many times a man's wife sees more, is more realistic and factual, and is a far better Judge than the cocker himself. The latter is handicapped by prejudices and early teachings. The wife is not. She sees things as they are. Accordingly, it is vitally important for the cocker-breeder to develop a correct standard of fighting counterblasts AT Nils own. I T en does not ay tens – Tree Trot prejudice or sentiment- he is not going to get f ar.We have already discussed the important fighting characteristics of gameness, cutting, power, deliberate accurate striking, ability to remain punch, balance and the absence of any pronounced fighting weakness or fault. There are numerous features to be considered and evaluated. I call them my â€Å"check sit. † Before every mating season I go over them as they apply to each individual in the brood pens. They serve as reminders, for it is so easy to forget or overlook important requirements. 1 . Quickness. I emphasize quickness as opposed to reckless and purposeless speed.Quickness takes a variety of forms: (a) Quick to take advantage of an opening or opportunity. (b) Quick to beat opponent to the punch and keep him off balance. (c) Quick to get a second lick in the same buckle. What boxers term the 1-2 punch Many times it is this second lick, delivered when the opponent is off balance or motionless, which does he damage. (d) Quick to kick instantly on both his own and his opponent's bill hold. This is both an offensive and defensive move. All long heel men are acutely aware of the importance of this characteristic, since a single failure could bring disaster. E) Quickness is largely a matter of reflexes which can be sharpened by conditioning, but it is also inherited, so be mindful of is existence. 2. Fight High. It is an advantage of a cook to fight over on top of his adversary rather than being underneath him at all times. This refers not merely to the opening break but throughout the battle. Some socks naturally fight high, others tend to fight low. The style is largely inherited, so watch out for it when selecting your brood cook. 3. Reaching Out. Some socks reach out in front of them with their blows much farther than others. Hose are usually the ones which are â€Å"in† first. At present I am breeding a cook, in preference to one of his many brothers, solely because he reaches out so far with his blows. I first noticed this while catchin g him when he was still ugly and wild. Overtime I attempted to grab him he hit me not on my hand but on my elbow. He really reached out every shot. He did the same thing in his battle. Dropped his man the first shot. One time I was fighting a main against Tom Murphy who was the finest judge of a cock's fighting style I ever knew.After the main (which I won 5-4) he said to me, â€Å"l thought that second cook you fought was the best bird of the day. † I felt complimented but at that time was in the prejudiced â€Å"beauty† stage and replied,†Ã¢â‚¬Ëœ rather preferred my fourth cook. † He cast a withering eye at me such as a school teacher might use upon a second grader, and said,† You did! Well I didn't That second cook of yours broke high, head back, feet way out front. That's the kind that an kill you with one lick and that's Just what happened. † It occurred years ago, but it was a lesson I never forgot. I hope to pass it along to you.It's what I mean when I said â€Å"you must develop a standard of fighting characteristics of your own, free from prejudice and sentiment. † 4. Finishing. Some socks tend to loaf once they get in front. That's bad. It gives the opponent a chance to recuperate and to even up the battle with an effective blow of Nils own. Once a cook gets out Toronto en snouts Tallow up to Nils advantage. Nils Is t e time for him to show his killer instinct and put his opponent away then and there. One well known cocker put it this way,†Any cook which knocks his opponent down then lets him get away is no cook at all. That is the time for the top cook to become doubly bitter and revengeful. If he doesn't, well, you heard what the man said. 5. High Head Years ago low-headiness was a common fault among shorten socks of the northeast. The advent of fast heels and greater acquaintanceship with long heel fighting was pretty well eradicated that defect though you still see occasional evidence of its exis tence. It is a serious fault. Avoid it. 6. Fight. Tom Foley who ran the famous pit at 7 SST. Marry Eave. , Troy, N,Y. Use to wrap up all these qualifications by using a single word. â€Å"Dimmit all,† he would say,† they can FIGHT. By that he meant that the cook was pushing the battle all the way, aggressive at all times, lashing out with straight line shots, landing in perfect balance, ready instantly to shoot again, cutting every fly, â€Å"sharpshooters† he used to call them, constantly moving about , never allowing himself to be a standing target. â€Å"l want to see him be doing something all the time,† he used to say,† I don't care what it is, but I want to see him be doing something and not Just standing around waiting to get killed. Tom didn't give one whoop for pedigrees, breed names, color, conformation, or anything else. He wasn't even too fussy about gameness.He wanted a cook that could FIGHT. 7. See For Yourself. Before concluding this c hapter on Fighting Characteristics, let's go back to the initial statement which said,†No two people seem to agree as to how a cook should fight. † You are the breeder. You are the open who must make the initial selection of brood stock and likewise all the subsequent selections which equally careful discrimination. How skillfully you do this depends upon your own personal observations and judgment. But one thing is certain: you must absolutely see the fowl fight yourself. You can,t depend upon others. No two of them will see the bird or the fight the same way.If you accept the Judgment of everyone, Dick, and Harry you will end up with a Hodge-podgy which can't lick anything. You, yourself must be consistent and persevering in what you are trying to accomplish in the brood yard. In order for you to do this you must absolutely see the individuals perform yourself and pass judgment on their qualifications for fitting into your line. Time after time I have visited a breeder who pointed with pride to a certain cook and said,†Ã¢â‚¬Ëœ am setting side this cook to breed then he would go on and on as to the marvelous qualities the cook has exhibited the battle as described by the trainer or handler.The breeder has not seen the fight. I had. I would not have accepted the cook as a gift; for breeding, fighting, or anything else. Wouldn't have him on the place. Yet the breeder, accepting someone else's word, was going to breed him! The breeder did not know that I had seen the fight, nor did I tell him. Why start an argument and lose friends? But it does show the absolute necessity for you yourself to see the cook in action and appraise his qualities according to your own standards. Deliberate Striking This is closely related to â€Å"Look where he hits. How many times have you been miles out In Toronto, to 20, Ana all Tanat when, Dang! Ana well -Loretta alternate snot NAS dropped you cold? This was no accident, it happens all the time. It shows the val ue of deliberate striking. Pay attention to it when selecting your brood cook. Holding His Punch In all probability you have seen a great big fine looking cook, shoulders on him like an All American tackle, legs as big as a turkey, strong enough to pull a plough, yet at the ND of a few fittings could not lift his legs two inches from the ground, let alone cut or strike anything. No condition† some peptides comments. That's not it at all. Chances are that his inferior looking opponent who is whaling the daylights out of him is not in nearly as good physical shape. The difference between the two is a matter of back muscles. The homely looking bird has them. The big fine looking cook which is built like Apollo does not. The latter may well be able to pull a plough, but if he does not have well developed back muscles he is not going to kick very long. Which reminds me of the All Pro football player who went to a dude ranch.At the end of a four hour horseback ride the little scrawn y wrangler hopped off as spry as could be. The football player Just sat there. He was so sore and tired that he could not dismount, and would have been unable to stand if he had. The difference between the two men was that the alternating had saddle muscles and the football player did not. He was helpless even though he could have squashed the wrangler with one hand. This matter of back muscles seems to be a hereditary trait. You can't develop them a great deal through exercise or feeding. A cook either has them or he doesn't.You may be able to improve the deficiency by breeding the cook to hens which are well endowed in this respect, but it is much better to start off with a cook which does not have such a deficiency. The only sure way to determine this important characteristic is to see him or his brothers in action. The trait seems to run in families. If one brother is good or bad in such respect, the other brothers are apt to be the same. Where this appears to be a hereditary tr ait it is especially important for you to be sure that your brood cook is well developed in this respect. Balance Proper balance is another characteristic of great importance.It, too, is hereditary. A cook must be a great cutter and all that even though ill balanced, but he could do the job a lot easier if he were balanced properly. Besides, his sons very probably would inherit the bad balance without the old man's skill in cutting. Proper balance's difficult to describe in words. It has to do with the position of the bird's legs with respect to his body, the shape of the body and it's weight distribution, and a lot of other things. A duck's legs are set on ideally for swimming, but not for walking or striking. That gives you an exaggerated example.You look at enough game socks long enough with this thought in mind and pretty soon you'll be able to see which ones are well balanced and which ones are not. Some families are far better balanced than others. A poorly balanced bird is ap t to fall on his tail or his nose after delivering a blow, or land in a heap which is worse. He is a sitting duck for a well- balanced bird. On the other hand a properly balanced bird will deliver his blow, land in perfect balance ready instantly to strike again or avoid his opponent's blow. One of ten greatest Dressers I ever Knew placed great store on tens Pensacola centralists.He call it â€Å"balance† and was ever and always referring to it. We use to poke fun at him by saying â€Å"balance† when he was not around, but he impressed the importance of this feature upon me, and I hope I can do the same for you. The only way you can procure â€Å"balance† is to breed for it. You can't change it by feed or exercise. A bird either has it or doesn't have it from day one for as long as he lives. So start out by seeing that your brood cook is properly balanced, for a deficiency in this respect is difficult to breed out of a family, Just as it is difficult to breed ou t low headiness or ducking. Size I don't like to breed from a big cook.About 5-4 for a cook in fighting trim or 4-14 for a stag is as large as I care to go. This matter of size is different for hens, bought we will go into that later. I want the cook to be full of action, cutting ability, and all the other pit qualities to be described later. But size is not a primary factor provided he is solidly built. As an example, right now I am breeding a cook which fought at 4-4 as a stag. He was full of action and cut. But I would not think of breeding his sister who was proportionally as small for a female. Youth vs. Age Especially in the brood yard. I am a great believer in youth.You hear about the â€Å"grand old hen† and the â€Å"great $10,000 cook,† but most of the time your best performers will come from young stock. Some people term it in the percentage. I have the utmost respect for proven old producers, but most of the time age is a handicap. Certain mating of cook an d hen will turn out phenomenal offspring. But even in this case I would rather have the produce of their early years than after they were â€Å"getting along. † I have had a few such mating myself which I kept together for several years. Probably longer than I should. But in every case the quality of their offspring dropped noticeably with each passing year.In my opinion more good families have been â€Å"lost' through endeavoring to perpetuate them through the use of old parents than from any other reason. Accordingly, if you are fortunate enough to locate a truly superior combination, plan to carry them on through the use of vigorous offspring of their earlier years rather than â€Å"breeding back† to the original individuals after they have gone by. This is particularly true of the hen. She may look and act like a pullet, but her reproductive apparatus has deteriorated, even though you can't see it. For some reason or another the cook seems to last longer so far as reproductive qualities are concerned.Many times he turns out good ones as long as he remains vigorous and fertile. But such is not the case with the hen. My grand mentor,old Balance, absolutely refused to breed a hen after her fourth year. This theory or practice will offend many old timers, and they can hurl a barrage of evidence at me. But you can believe them or believe me. This has been my experience. Many times in the past I have tried to â€Å"revive† famous old families by breeding to the Queen Bee of the dynasty. The grand old hen who was now a eager. One time Lenin Law sent me such a hen.Many of her sons had won at Orlando which at that time conducted the premier cocking event in America. I could scarcely believe my good fortune. Bred her the finest young cook that I owned. What GE A Duncan AT weaklings! I guess Law Knew want en was long when en gave her to me. Hopefully in time you will have occasion to do a certain amount of inbreeding or line breeding. I endeavor to avoid intensive consanguineous mating as far as possible, but in time it catches up with you. Under such circumstances carry on with the best specimens of your young stock in the family. The younger the better. Don't â€Å"go back† to your old worn out originals.This is contrary to general practice, but it is definitely my recommendation. Chapter 5 Physical Characteristics Many writings on breeding game socks begin, and end, with a description of the physical characteristics a good brood cook should possess. These writers consider such requirements of primary importance. In their opinion they rank first. With me they rank last. Championship performers in all sports come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. With me it is only the performance which counts. Physical heartsickness are important only insofar as they enable the individual to perform more easily and effectively.We are not breeding fowl for beauty contests or to win a ribbon at the County fair, we are breed ing them to win in the pit. There are certain physical characteristics, however, which enable a cook to perform more easily and effectively. They are no guarantee that the cook will do the Job, but only that he is not handicapped physically in such effort. We will discuss them here briefly in order that you may be on the lookout for them. Body Personally I prefer a well-rounded body, where the keel bone is relatively short from rent to back, and also short from top to bottom.Such confirmation usually makes for good balance, the value of which has been discussed previously. I don't go for these excessively broad shouldered heavy breasted type with all the weight out front. The â€Å"flat iron† type. Such confirmation is a handicap to a cock's ability to cut. He is apt to straddle with his blows, since he can't â€Å"close in† with his shots due to that heavy breast getting in his way. Rather, I prefer for him to be built like a football-more or less pointed at both ends . Station I like for a cook to be above average station, but not excessively so.The length should be in the thigh bone, not in the shank or scaly part. Length in the thigh enables him to â€Å"reach out† farther. Likewise a pronounced bend at the hock Joint is essential. Somehow or another it seems to help in the cutting department. I never saw a cook whose legs were straight up and down like a stork's which could cut much. If a cook is somewhat knock-kneed that is alright too. It's not pretty to look at, but nearly every knock-kneed cook is a cutter. Some people are real fussy about having a cock's heels set down close to his feet. Probably that is O. K. But I never paid much attention to it.Other things were more important. One thing which is essential is for his legs to be set on him properly so that he is in perfect balance. This usually means that his legs are set pretty well forward.

Male Gaze As A Tool Of The Cult Of Womanhood - 1420 Words

Praise for Toomer’s depictions of black sexuality are well-deserved because they are bold and daring in a way that was uncommon prior to the modern era. Traditional literary depictions of women were limited to those that conformed to the values of the cult of womanhood. What Toomer’s women in Cane accomplish is quite the opposite. He employs the male gaze as a tool of humanization, often in critique of the violence executed against the black female body which has been justified for so long by the gaze itself. Toomer works to situate womanhood in reality as opposed to Victorian notions of purity, chastity, and domesticity. He does this by placing black and white womanhood adjacent to each other and offering sexuality and promiscuity as part†¦show more content†¦This is indicative of Karintha’s prostitution practice. The focus on Karintha’s money rather than the actual practice of prostitution seeks to ease the burden of the stigma on sex work. Thou gh it’s vague, the evidence of Karintha’s practice is there and it’s presented as an essential function of her existence. â€Å"Karintha is a woman, and she has a child† (4). Not only her existence, but her child necessitates an income and Karintha uses her sexuality as a mode of survival. Two poems that perfectly display the placement of white and black female bodies against each other are â€Å"Face† and â€Å"Portrait in Georgia.† The two are far away from each other in the text but the parallels are undeniable. Both poems begin with â€Å"Hair—, â€Å"and go on to describe a woman. The white woman in â€Å"Portrait in Georgia† is textually linked to lynching. The portrait, if you will, is painted in images of lynching and violence against black bodies. Here, the white woman works as a symbol of essential whiteness that is meant to be protected. During the early 20th century, it was common for black men to be lynched because they were looking at or talking to white women. Toomer is drawing on the necessity of the white woman to further the white man’s motivation to eliminate black men. On the other side of the spectrum, â€Å"Face† features a woman of color. Her features are drawn with images of nature, suggesting the poss ibility of new life, even in her graying old age.

Who is the Defendant in the Trial of Twelve Angry Men - Free Essay Example

Sample details Pages: 4 Words: 1263 Downloads: 9 Date added: 2019/04/12 Category Art Essay Level High school Tags: 12 Angry Men Essay Film Analysis Essay Did you like this example? In a murder trial in which a young man is accused of the death of his father in rather strange circumstances, it is here that 12 members of a jury take the responsibility of deciding whether or not the young man is guilty of said murder and based on reasons, they must decide their guilt. The evidence and the witnesses in principle was only one of them doubt about the certainty of guilt, the other juries think that the young man is guilty and one of the jurors that is an older person says that the young man should be taken to the electric chair. We know that it is not easy to decide for the death of someone, many of the members are under pressure to have strong reasons to accept or raise new reasons to consider forceful the sentence that should be given to the young person, in addition to this pressure they are gathered in an environment It increases the tensions and this affects psychologically several of them, and according to my analysis, a constant in several of them is th at they get carried away by feelings or past experiences to provide a position, which is not acceptable. Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "Who is the Defendant in the Trial of Twelve Angry Men?" essay for you Create order The first jury that is in favor of innocence considers that a better communication between them is necessary, and seeing how the life of the young accused was, he tells others that he can not judge the young person for his life when he was little or where he was born. According to the witnesses who mentioned that they saw the young man murder his father, which at first glance is surprising for many of them, the first reason why the young man should not be considered guilty is to see the young persons supposed motivation to do so. Killing his own father, what could, perhaps, perhaps he wanted to do it because he was angry, the young man who grew up in a family full of problems and abuse and that his father had beaten him since he was five years old. But one of the juries that argues that, despite having grown up in an environment similar to that of the accused, tries to make others come into reason. Bearing in mind that despite the fact that the jury was present during the trial process and that it gives us to understand that it was for a long time, what convinced many of the guilty parties, put in doubt the lawyers, the evidence and the witnesses, which is a key piece to solve the problem and the first test analyzes the use of the weapon with whi ch the father died, that by its appearance is a special knife and where the young man also affirms that he went to the cinema while the murder occurred and / or not to lie, which is not enough reason to blame, and that being a special knife is not easy to achieve, but this last reason is eliminated when the jury that, according to him, also lived in the same conditions as the young man. These are the reasons that motivate a second vote and where surprisingly increases the number of juries who are in favor of the innocence of young people. One of the jurors makes the other jurors understand that not only can they say they will only believe the witnesses because they also have to see everything that was around the crime scene. He does not consider that the murder was committed for any reason. This is where the first witness who saw the murder through a train in motion rises, which in North America is usually at the level of the houses and passing at all hours. it is here that the witness said that she saw the father murdered at the hands of the young man, and this curiously through the train that passed through the window at high speed, which some consider sufficient proof to blame him; but it is the indirect way in which the witness saw death, which calls into question the certainty of his words; In addition to this, the other witness who saw the murdered youth, but also questioned, and who does is the jury (the older man), in my opinion, is the jury that has more clarity of thought; What changes the opinion of more members of the jury in a next vote where there are already eight members of the jury who are in favor of innocence, where the last member who changes his position raises a reasonable doubt. In addition, the man had a problem in the leg which prevented him from moving with fluidity; he convinced himself of the clarity of his words and, although he may not be so, the witness believes that he has truth; This is understood by the member of the jury who questions these witness statements; and to give more strength to this hypothesis, some members of the jury make a simulation of what could have happened at the crime scene if the pope had wanted to go out the door and all the work he was going to have to do to get out. They take statements from the witness who says he took 15 seconds to get from where he was to the window from where he saw the murder, and valid from a plan of the house; they showed that it was impossible for the witness with that problem in the leg to have reached the window in 15 seconds, but rather 45 seconds, which gives a second reason for not considering the statement of the old man true; which gave one more reason to believe that the old man created in his mind that he saw a murder; it is here that the juror who defends the guilt of the young person is carried away by those feelings and not for compelling reasons that are necessary to make a decision in a just decision. It is here that all these reasons put 6 and 6 votes in favor and against. Each of the characters with their different personalities and social influences give their opinion or tend to judge their experiences in life and we can see that some of the juries begin the trial passively and while they are discussing the issue they are bothering and They start to argue with each other. In terms of attitudes, personalities and how to show how people act without use of reason most of the time, how they are influenced by society, ideals, and how the use of absolutes is always preferable to the doubt. As it says in the book on the ethics of care What I feel is right is right, what I feel is wrong is wrong (Rousseau, as cited by Ruggiero, 2001: 28). In this movie we can see how each jury gives their opinion about the murder case. Some of the juries are upset with the young man because they have had similar experiences to him but we can also see how some of the jurors understand everything that this young man has lived for 19 years. One of the juries that always said that he could not notice that the decision he was taking was not adequate so he felt the tension and harassment of the other juries. Neither were the reasons, but rather prejudices, and that it was a family problem that he had in the past, the reason for which he accused the young man without foundation, for which he realized his mistake and was the reason why he did not continue holding the accusation.

Strategy and Case Analysis of us Airilines

Question: Discuss about the Strategy and Case Analysis of us Airilines. Answer: Introduction In this study, we will discuss about the US Airlines Industry and the problems faced by the US airlines regarding the changes take place in the airlines industry. We can observe that the US Airlines Industry had to face many problems to make the profit. There are other airlines also who has faced the same thing like Southwest airlines, jet blue, AirTran airways, virgin America. This was happened due to the cheap airways available in the domestic market. The other factors that have acted as a barrier in making profits are new entrants, who brought new techniques and policies to enter into the market. The cost of the labor in airlines industry is also very high as they demand highly paid. The major drawback for the US airline industry is the competition in the prices of the tickets. The rise of the internet websites and travel sites like Travelocity, Expedia, Orbits, etc. help the customer to compare the price of all the flights. This results in the upliftment of flights that provide c heap tickets. US airlines also faced the problems regarding the higher oil prices that create more complications. In 2013, the cost of the fuel has accounted for 32 % of all the revenues earned by the company. The labor cost has accounted for 26 % in the same year which is the second major cost of the production for the US airlines. These are the two reasons due to which many of the airline industries were announced bankrupt. This airline includes US airways, delta, northwest and united. Only the larger airlines were remained survived. In 2013, the US airways had pushed for the merger with the American airline that takes place under a negotiation. The US Airlines Industry: An overview US airway is one of the major and most popular airways of the United States of America. This airline is ceasing to operate in an independent manner starting from the year 1937, when the Federal Aviation Administration granted them permission and a certificate of (SOC) Single Operating Certificate and an American airline on the 8th of April, 2015. It was merged successfully with the America airlines in the year 2015 with all of the operations related to the bookings, reservations systems, etc. There are many systems that are not merged yet. US Airlines has many types of national and international networks with more than 193 destinations of the world. It is dealing with more than 24 countries in the present time that includes Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, etc. This airline company is a member of star alliance and also a member of Oneworld in the year 2014. In 2013, the cost of the fuel has accounted for 32 % of all the revenues earned by the company. The labor cost has accounted for 26 % in the same year which is the second major cost of the production for the US airlines. US airlines has a fleet of more than 343 Jetcraft of main line, 278 jet that operates regional, turbo prop aircrafts, etc. these aircrafts are operated through the contracts and subsidiary airways under the name of US airlines Express via the code sharing. Porters five forces analysis of US Airlines Industry in the United States It is a type of methodology that helps the organization to analyze the internal and external environment of the industry in which the business organization operates. The key aspect of the porters five forces model helps the US airline industry in understanding all the external affairs that impact the performance of the company. for example declining the traffic of the passenger, increase in the operating expenses , the high prices of fuel, the greater landing and maintenance cost of the airlines, etc. the other threats are the cut throat competition in the airline industry that has affect the airline industry up to a large extent (Javalgi, and Steven White, 2002). Supplier power If we talk about the airlines industry then the power of supplier is very strong as there are three major elements that are required in this industry that are fuel, labor and aircraft. These all element are affected by the external environment of the industry and market. The price of oil is fluctuated o the basis of price of aviation oil price. It takes place due to the geopolitical and other factors of any country in which the airlines industry lies. The labor are also refers the power of union as they reflect their bargaining power through unity. It helps the labor to get the costly and unreasonable concessions from the US airlines (Weatherford, and Plt, 2002). Thirdly, the US and other airlines need two biggies and airbus and Boeing to manage the airlines. These are the reasons due to which the power of the suppliers the airlines industry is very strong. Buyer power As the technology is changing, the fliers and passengers do not have to rely on the mediators, agents, intermediaries, and distribution systems. They book the tickets for themselves using online bookings. From the past years, there are entry of lots of low cost carriers that results in cheap airlines and it benefitted the fliers up to a large extent. There is a need to understand the power of the buyers. There are lots of rules and regulation made by the authority for the benefits of the customers and buyers. These all element provides power to the customers and buyers. According to the porters five force model, the power of the buyers is moderate to high. The buyers also have lots of options and channels available for them in the market (Goetz, 2002). Entry and exit barriers The entry in the airline industry is not easy as the firms required a huge amount of capital for the investments in the airline industry. Even the exit of the airlines industries are very difficult as they have to write down and absorb many types of losses. From the above mentioned points we can judge that the entry and exit of the firms is not a barrier for the US airlines. There is a requirement of high infusion of investments and capital which is not as easy task to the industrialist. The exit procedure for the airlines industries is also very complex and involve in many types of rules and regulations (Tang, Zimmerman, and Nelson, 2009). Threat of substitutes and complementary The US airlines industry do not have any threats from the substitutes and complementary as the people of US do not choose to travel from train or buses for the journeys. It is noticed that flying is a type of natural phenomenon for all the passengers of US. Hence the substitutes available in the market do not create any threat for the US airlines. The benefits provided by the airlines are meals, Wi-Fi, amenities, and many other services (Morgan, Pritchard, and Pride, 2011). Competitive rivalry As mentioned in the above point, there is a huge competition in the firms and industries of airlines. There are many local airlines that provide cheap tickets that create competition in the airlines market. The low cost carriers give direct competition to the US airlines. Economic performance The airlines industry should focus on the needs and wants of the customers. There must be some brand differentiation and the sales should be related to the customer centric sale so that the customers will remain satisfied and do not switch to other companies due to the dissatisfaction. Providing best quality services to the customers is key source to increase the profitability of the US airlines. As we know that there are many complexities due to which the airlines are unable to earn profits. So, there is a need of unique solutions that can help the industry in earning a reasonable amount of profits. It can be done through analyzing the new findings related to the potential of revenue and sales earning. It can also be achieved through loyalty in the growth and development of airlines industry. The company should analyze the problems that lead in the low revenues and no profits (Morrish, and Hamilton, 2002). The airlines industries are facing a major challenge with regarding to its data to the customer, retailing and personalization. The major airlines have benefits of market share and potential in the profits. we can observes that despite of earning profit and revenue, the airlines industries are facing a struggling period in turning the demand into the profit and revenue. The US airline is facing a huge amount of competition due to the small and domestic airlines in the markets of Unites states of America. To increase the market share in the US markets in the airlines industry is not a very difficult task as it requires certain changes that should be effectively implemented in the business organization. As we can see that the number of passengers is increasing day by day that result in the top-line growth in the profits and revenues for the airlines industry. The customers want to have flights on cheap rates due to the frequent traveling using airways. If the companies provide premium services to the customers in the airlines, than no passenger will deny traveling with the US airways due to the unique features and services. To reach to such level, US airways have to deliver a high quality service and collective value to their customers (Oum, et.al. 2004). Strategies for airlines profitability To make a unique position in the markets of airlines industry, it is very relevant to provide different experience to the customers. It can be done through personalized services and delivering values to each and every individual related to the US airways (Birdsong, 2015). the other techniques that can help the US airlines is to blast the customers with the offers and discounts, packages, etc using technology and social media like messages, watsapp, Facebook, emails, etc. many types of offers are there like offers of upscale and offers of down sale that must be delivered to the customers. In airline industry, ales and services are two things that are interred related to each other (Mahutga, et.al. 2010). Using technology that is updated in nature is another option to increase the sales and revenue of US airways. It can be personalization of services, consistency, services experiences, and Omni-stage sales. These days the trend is to deliver personalized consumer-centric retailing which is very effective in nature. The rise of the internet websites and travel sites like Travelocity, Expedia, Orbits, etc. help the customer to compare the price of all the flights. This results in the upliftment of flights that provide cheap tickets. So there is a need to manage the prices of the flights to increase the sale and revenues of US airlines (Francis, et.al. 2006). Using customer focused techniques whose aim is to fulfill the demand of the customers only is also a way to increase the revenue and profits. The highly earning and profitable airlines industries are using these techniques as they are very effective in nature. Many CEOs of big companies believes that the companies should adopt futuristic strategies and customer based services to attract more customers. There must be concrete plans that are related to the satisfaction of the customers (Oum, Yu, and Zhang, 2001). The above written techniques will help US airways to transform the fewer amounts of revenues into a good amount of revenues. They will impact the entire organization, its talent, organizational structure; process of the business, use of technology, etc. if all the points are effectively executed in the organization, then it will influence the entire operations and result in positive revenues and profit margin (Czipura, and Jolly, 2007). US airlines will be able to gain the loyalty of the customers, potential customers for the future, better operations in the internal and external business organization, and better performance of the functions, lower the cost of production and finally the revenues and profits can be increased. These are the unique solutions that can help the industry in earning a reasonable amount of profits. It can be done through analyzing the new findings related to the potential of revenue and sales earning. It can also be achieved through loyalty in the growth and development of airlines industry. The company should analyze the problems that lead in the low revenues and no profits (Chermack, and Kasshanna, 2007). Some facts that will let us know more about US airlines In recent times, the US airlines had faced drastic changes due to the dire warnings from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and for many others European countries and many other global economies. US carriers are still surviving in such challenging situations. The biggest reason is that the US airlines do not affect themselves due to the adverse affects of the economy as they claim good earnings after the year 2012. In the last quarter of December, 2012, the fuel prices were increased that has created a burden on the all airlines industries of the world. Despite of all the above, the US airlines have a good amount of passengers and demand for the tickets. It helps the US airlines to survive in the critical situations (Buhalis, 2004). They said that they do not have any kind of slowdown in the travelling not even in the transatlantic markets. If we compare the other airlines industries of the world, the US airlines is the one that is protected by the international challenge and exposures. The reason is they earn their 60 % of the earnings from the domestic market of US. In contrast to this, the Singapore airlines is earning its 00 % of the revenue from the international destinations (Amernic, and Craig, 2004). We can observe that the US airline is financially strong these days due to the drastic transformation takes place in the past years and in mid -2000s. The year 2012 has brought good times for the US airlines that can be reflected easily (Amankwah?Amoah, and Debrah, 2011). Conclusion At last we can conclude that all the organization must adopt some good policies and strategies to have a smooth working in the business organization. We have also studied about the economic performance of the company in the UK markets. As we know that there is a vast competition in the airlines industry due to the presence of many companies in the airlines industry. This is the reason due to which US airlines is facing problems in earning profits. The present report helped us to understand the strategies and policies that must be adopt by the US airlines to earn profits. The students learnt about the US airlines in details as this report comprises of all the relevant data regarding the same company to give an overview. The above written techniques will help US airways to transform the fewer amounts of revenues into a good amount of revenues. They will impact the entire organization, its talent, organizational structure; process of the business, use of technology, etc. It is very rele vant to provide different experience to the customers. It can be done through personalized services and delivering values to each and every individual related to the US airways. Hence it becomes very relevant to study the national, international, economic, non economic environment of the market in which the US airlines is dealing. It helps the business organization to design and customize its functions and operations according to the needs and wants of the customers a well the current trends of the market place. US airlines had faced any problems due to which they have made drastic changes to keep running the business. In this way, they are surviving in this challenging and competitive world.

Save the Orangutans from Extinction an Example by

Save the Orangutans from Extinction At present, there are many animal species that are in danger. The orangutans are one of them, and in the few years they may be extinct. There are many factors that are threatening their species: loss of habitat due to population growth and illegal logging, natural disasters as well as illegal animal trade and poaching. The authorities must act immediately, as the problem continues to worsen as time goes by. This research paper aims to discuss the short life history of the orangutans, the problems that endanger them, and the solutions that are currently being made to prevent their extinction.

Originally, the orangutan species live throughout the Southeast Asian forests, and are native to Borneo and Sumatra islands (Orangutans; Orangutan). Their habitat is the rainforest, and they share this habitat with other animals, such as tigers and rhinos (Orangutans). Orangutans live in groups, that which consist of only two to four animals; nonetheless, adult males are usually solitary (Orangutan). Orangutans are arboreal animals; in fact, they are the world's largest exclusively tree-dwelling mammal (Orangutan; Xu). They seldom leave the trees, and their nourishment includes fruit, leaves, bark and birds' eggs (Orangutan). They spend the night on nests or platforms that they built themselves (Orangutan). The orangutans reach their full maturity at 10 to 12 years of age, while their sexual maturity is attained at eight years of age (Orangutan). The female orangutan has a 29-day menstrual cycle, and just like humans, the gestation period lasts for nine months (Orangutan). In addition, it is the only species with the longest birth interval: female orangutans only give birth after eight years (Xu). Unfortunately, the only threat to the species is mankind (Orangutan). The orangutan species is so threatened that it was declared by the IUCN or the World Conservation Union as critically endangered (Mayhell). How does mankind threaten the existence of the orangutans? Humans endanger the species due to actions that lead to the orangutans' loss of habitat. In the last two decades, orangutans have lost 20% of their habitat (Orangutans). In 1996, there were 20,000 orangutans in Borneo; at present, the number is estimated between 12,000 to 15,000 (Orangutans). In Sumatra, there are only an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 orangutans left, from its original number of 10,000 in 1996 (Orangutans). The growth of the Indonesian population is one of the contributing factors behind the loss of habitat. One hundred years ago, the population of Indonesia was approximately 10 million; today, however, the population has increased to 200 million (Mayhell). Currently, the area where people live is no longer sufficient to sustain the growing population, which forces the authorities to convert rainforests to residential areas (Orangutans). This means the habitat of the orangutans would be utilized for human consumption. Moreover, the increasing population requires more food, which forces farmers to modify their agricultural techniques, one of which is the slash-and-burn technique (Mayhell). This technique makes land clearing much easier, and is used by timber and palm oil companies on many acres of land (Orangutans). This manner of land clearing forces the orangutans deeper in the forests (Mayhell). However, the conditions of the forest are not conducive for orangutans to live either. Illegal logging is still rampant, as it provides for a lucrative industry (Orangutans). Illegal logging had decreased the forests' resources, and a few trees are inadequate for the survival of the orangutans (Mayhell). Natural disasters are also to blame for the decrease in the orangutan population. Between 1997 and 1998, there were forest fires that were caused by drought (Mayhell). Many orangutans were killed, and those that survived had to look for food in human territory which made the orangutans victims of poaching (Mayhell). Because the forests can no longer provide the nourishment for their survival, orangutans search for food in human territories. The people, in turn, are bothered by the presence of these animals in their farms (Mayhell). These orangutans are then killed for food (Orangutans). Poaching, along with illegal animal trade, also decreased the populations of the orangutans. Both of these are effects of the economic problems that affected Asia in 1997 (Mayhell). Many Indonesians were unemployed, and the rainforests seemed to present an opportunity for them to earn a living (Mayhell). The young orangutans are taken from their mothers to be sold as pets (Orangutans). However, orangutans are never meant to be pets because they are wild animals. While they are an infant, they may seem as cute pets. However, once they grow up, taking care of them becomes extremely difficult (Orangutans). Moreover, once they have been sold as pets, most of them die either from sickness or poor living conditions (Orangutans). Even at death, orangutans prove to be a source of income, as orangutan skulls are sold as souvenirs for tourists (Mayhell). The possible extinction of orangutans poses a serious problem not only for Indonesia, but also for the world. So far, steps have been made to regulate this problem. To prevent the further loss of orangutan habitat, the Indonesian and Malaysian governments have sent police patrols to guard the animals' territory (Xu). In addition, there exists the U.S. Great Ape Conservation Act of 2000 (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). This act seeks to provide monetary assistance to other countries for the conservation of great apes such as the orangutans (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Other animals that would benefit from this law include gorillas, chimpanzees and gibbons (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). The aforementioned measures would surely help in preventing the extinction of orangutans. However, these are not enough. The Indonesian government should create policies that would surely make a difference in the conservation of orangutans. Illegal logging such be closely monitored, and the agricultural sector must be advised to stop the slash-and-burn method. The citizens should also be educated, so that illegal pet trade and poaching would no longer occur. Orangutans are great animals, and if their species are not taken care of, future generations may not get to see them. Everyone should do their part in preventing the extinction of orangutans.
