BAKERY CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS IN JAPAN
Posted by info on 04:01
This lesson will help you learn appropriate responses after a customer accidentally dropped some bread on the floor.
It
is common for customers to choose some items from bread display racks
and put them in serving trays using tongs and then go to the cashier
counter to pay when buying bread at bakeries.
If you force customers to pay for the goods that cannot be eaten anymore, will they ever come back to your store again?
Such
an inappropriate response may make and spread rumors that you did not
respond appropriately, and consequently lose customers.
In order
to keep customers from having negative feelings and keep them happy and...

In the second installment of my What's In My Bag: Purse Organization
series I am showcasing my current cross-body style purse that I've been
wearing this summer by Rebecca Minkoff. Even when I switch bags I keep
the organization and contents the same. If you missed the tote style

bag organized if you care to share! Thanks for watching :)...

How to Make a Loose Frame Awning
Posted by info on 07:54
Small Awnings are fabricated with a simple sleeve for the front bar
(without a tie bar) and a similar small sleeve for the head rod. Tension
is imparted to the face of the cover in this case by adjusting the pipe
in the eye ends on the struts. Of course, simple loose frame awnings do
not require any tensioning on the face since gravity does this work.
Watch the video to see how one is made and then order the supplies from

Automatic or manual
What is a transmission?
This is the mechanism by which the power is transmitted from an
engine to the wheels of a motor vehicle. You’ll probably refer to it as
the ‘gears’ or ‘gearbox’. A transmission is needed because there is a
redline – a maximum revolutions per minute (rpm) value – over which a
car cannot go without exploding and narrow rpm gauges where horsepower
(the power of the engine) and torque (the twisting force that causes
rotation) are at their maximum. The transmission allows the gear ratio
between the engine and the drive wheels to change as the car speeds up
and slows down.
What is manual...

Auctions online
Posted by info on 03:22
Local governments across the United States conduct a variety of real
estate auctions in the effort to collect delinquent real estate taxes,
return real estate to the tax rolls and promote the redevelopment of
blighted areas. Also, as a result of the ongoing mortgage foreclosure
crisis, local governments have been confronted with carrying out
countless foreclosure auctions following mortgage foreclosure lawsuits.
Although real estate auctions held by local government officials vary
considerably, they may generally be broken down into a few distinct
categories.
Tax lien auctions are conducted to collect delinquent real estate

Art gallery
Posted by info on 03:22
The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database
of European fine arts from 11th to 19th centuries. It was started in
1996 as a topical site of the Renaissance art, originated in the Italian
city-states of the 14th century and spread to other countries in the
15th and 16th centuries. Intending to present Renaissance art as
comprehensively as possible, the scope of the collection was later
extended to show its Medieval roots as well as its evolution to Baroque
and Rococo via Mannerism. Encouraged by the feedback from the visitors,
recently 19th-century art was also included. However, we do not intend...
Armored cars
Posted by info on 02:35
When people think of car safety features, airbags, seatbelts or
anti-lock brakes likely come to mind. For the extremely wealthy,
government officials, or expatriates living in high-risk areas,
something more secure is often needed. To meet the demand, companies
have sprung up around the world to reinforce and bulletproof cars and
trucks — a practice known as “up-armoring.” One such company is
Houston-based Texcalibur Armor, which provides bulletproof vehicles and
luxury armored cars to everyone from diplomats, SWAT teams and
government contractors, to business executives, celebrities and
high-net-worth individuals. “The idea behind...

home made air conditioner
Posted by info on 06:40
Credit goes out to Pete H. in sunny England for this great build.
This version of the homemade air conditioner removes the need to drain
water outside by using an aquarium pump, and sits on a rotating base.
Check out more homemade air conditioners here.
Here’s the overall view of the unit. You can see the insulated
polystyrene box containing icewater and the aquarium pump, along with
the fan and attached copper tubing.
Pete did a much neater job of attaching the copper tubing to the
front of the fan than I did. Using copper tubing on both the front and
back of the fan is a great idea, the more copper tubing, the more heat

The Formula
One racing class is without question the most successful class in the
86-year history of airplane racing. It has seen more races, more pilots
and more airplanes than all other racing classes combined in a
half-century lifetime, and has experienced but one important change in its
rules in all that time. Moreover, it is the only formal air racing class
to be exported from the U. S. to Europe, and the only class to be
recognized by the International Aeronautics Federation (FAI), the world
governing body for competitive aviation.

The banjo is especially important.

Aerosol manufacturing
Posted by info on 03:05
History of the Aerosol
The first use for an aerosol package arose during World War II, but the idea of
using low-pressure liquefied gas to atomize droplets of liquid in the air was
developed in 1924. Canisters filled with insecticide and propellants were used
to protect U.S. servicemen from insects carrying diseases such as malaria.
Shortly after the war, Robert Abplanalp, founder of Precision Valve Corporation
(PVC), invented the first mass-produced aerosol valve. The patent was filed in
September 1949 and was issued on March 17, 1953. From that invention, the
aerosol industry quickly developed in the United States and around...
advocate devil
Posted by info on 01:34
A devil's advocate is someone who argues against an idea, position, or cause for the sake of argument, rather than out of actual opposition. While a devil's advocate can simply play a contrary role, someone who argues against an idea can also stimulate discussion which can identify weak points in an argument which need to be addressed. Therefore, one could consider this approach incredibly useful, albeit stressful for someone advocating alone against an accepted idea in a group.
The term is derived from a tradition in the Roman Catholic Church, in which someone would act as an advocate for the devil, arguing against the canonization of someone...

experimental adhesive
Posted by info on 06:21
Washington, Aug 12 (IANS) Scientists already know that the tiny hairs on geckos’ toe pads enable them to cling to vertical surfaces.
Now, University of Akron researchers are unfolding clues to the
reptiles’ gripping power in wet conditions to create a synthetic
adhesive that sticks when moist or on wet surfaces.
Place a single water droplet on the sole of a gecko toe, and the pad
repels water. The anti-wetting property helps explain how geckos
maneuver in rainy tropical conditions, the Journal of Experimental
Biology reports.
However, saturate that same toe pad in water or drench the surface on
which it climbs, and adhesion slips...
ٍAcrylic painting
Posted by info on 05:56
Acrylic painting is one of the newest painting mediums, being introduced as 'recently' as 1955.
These paints have come a long way since then, with an ever-widening range of paints and associated art supplies.
If you've ever painted the walls of your home with latex or emulsion paint, you'll have used a very close cousin of the these paints. In fact I use white matt emulsion, tinted with yellow or brown, to put a base coat on the canvasses I prepare for some of my acrylic painting work.
The acrylic painting technique offers both the new and experienced artist a very versatile method of painting.
It's a water-based medium and the usual texture...
accounting machine

Mechanical office machines reached their technical peak with accounting and billing machines. These masterpieces of precision mechanics were first built around 1900, and were replaced by electronic computers in the 1970s. They combine the capabilities of arithmetic and writing, and can be regarded as early data processing machines. The exhibition gives an overview of the most important machines.
Inflation gives an impetus
In the course of industrialization, accounting departments were confronted with ever larger amounts of data that made it essential to rationalize processing with the aid of machines. In Germany, the inflation of 1923 was...
