Book Synopsis Producing Beauty Pageants by : Anna Stanley

Book excerpt: When I began producing pageants in 1983, I held Informational Meetings to tell prospective contestants about my pageant. If I could personally meet prospective contestants to explain the pageant process, I would have a better chance of getting these girls to attend my motivational deadline-to-register event: a pageant commercial filming, boutique photoshoot, or pageant workshop. Besides, an Open Call session was the best place and opportunity for me to educate prospective contestants about sponsorship support, such as how to pitch to sponsors, collect sponsorship fees, and return to the deadline-to-register motivational event to become official contestants. Meeting prospective contestants also built a foundation of trust. After every Open Call session, I set a deadline to collect the first sponsorship installment (never a deposit, as this is too easy to walk away from). To motivate the deadline date and encourage many Open contestants - usually ending up to be about 40% - I needed to have an enticing motivator, such as a pageant commercial filming, a boutique photoshoot, or a pageant workshop. I truly believed that the deadline - and all that it encompassed - had to be the secret to my huge contestant numbers. It didn't occur to me, at least not until years later, that what I was doing before the deadline was the result of huge contestant entries. Whatever this powerful industry secret is called - Informational Meeting, Contestant Meeting, Contestant Call, Recruitment Meeting, Registration Night, Casting Call, Orientation Meeting, Orientation Tea, Open House, Open Call Workshops, Pageant Informational Meeting, Pageant Meet Up, Trunk Show Open Call, and last, but not least, Open Call - it is incorporated by the #1 youth pageant system in the world, National American Miss. You might be wondering what is so secret about Open Call in the pageant industry, because you may have already heard about it. Open Call is simply the strongest contestant recruitment tool designed, even though we borrowed the terminology from the modeling industry. Open Call is designed to secure the GREATEST PERCENTAGE OF CONTESTANT ENTRIES. Pageant directors who do know about Open Call, yet choose not to employ it, probably don't understand its strength and, therefore, can't perceive the financial impact that it can bestow upon their pageant system's bottom line. Pageant directors who do employ it, like International Junior Miss, USA National Miss, and last, but not least, the most successful of all, National American Miss, often make Open Call appear as inconsequential; after all, it is rare that successful pageant directors want to admit to the secret of their success. They probably fear that their competition (other pageants) will also employ Open Call, segment the contestant pool, muck up their business model, and affect their income. This is unlikely to happen. There are many newbie prospective contestants - more than enough for every pageant system out there. You just need to know where to go, to get the girls to come to you. The non-Open Call pageant producers' attempts to reach out to the same demographics - before they are snagged by Open Call pageants - often prove fruitless. What generally happens is that the non-Open Call pageants prime those girls for Open Call pageants! Pageant directors who plainly don't know about Open Call - well, what they don't know can hurt them. I asked Kathy Raese, director of Porcelain Dolls Nationals and Heavenly Angels, if she employed Open Call in her pageant systems. She replied, "What's that?" While I did include Open Call in my business model, from the start, it wouldn't be until years later before I truly understood the Open Call mantra: going to the girls, to get them to come to you. Producing Beauty Pageants: Open Call shows you just this.

Book Synopsis The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory by :
Download or read book The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airpower is not widely understood. Even though it has come to play an increasingly important role in both peace and war, the basic concepts that define and govern airpower remain obscure to many people, even to professional military officers. This fact is largely due to fundamental differences of opinion as to whether or not the aircraft has altered the strategies of war or merely its tactics. If the former, then one can see airpower as a revolutionary leap along the continuum of war; but if the latter, then airpower is simply another weapon that joins the arsenal along with the rifle, machine gun, tank, submarine, and radio. This book implicitly assumes that airpower has brought about a revolution in war. It has altered virtually all aspects of war: how it is fought, by whom, against whom, and with what weapons. Flowing from those factors have been changes in training, organization, administration, command and control, and doctrine. War has been fundamentally transformed by the advent of the airplane.

Download or read book Legacies written by Alejandro Portes and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One out of five Americans, more than 55 million people, are first-or second-generation immigrants. This landmark study, the most comprehensive to date, probes all aspects of the new immigrant second generation's lives, exploring their immense potential to transform American society for better or worse. Whether this new generation reinvigorates the nation or deepens its social problems depends on the social and economic trajectories of this still young population. In Legacies, Alejandro Portes and Rubén G. Rumbaut—two of the leading figures in the field—provide a close look at this rising second generation, including their patterns of acculturation, family and school life, language, identity, experiences of discrimination, self-esteem, ambition, and achievement. Based on the largest research study of its kind, Legacies combines vivid vignettes with a wealth of survey and school data. Accessible, engaging, and indispensable for any consideration of the changing face of American society, this book presents a wide range of real-life stories of immigrant families—from Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad, the Philippines, China, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam—now living in Miami and San Diego, two of the areas most heavily affected by the new immigration. The authors explore the world of second-generation youth, looking at patterns of parent-child conflict and cohesion within immigrant families, the role of peer groups and school subcultures, the factors that affect the children's academic achievement, and much more. A companion volume to Legacies, entitled Ethnicities: Children of Immigrants in America, was published by California in Fall 2001. Edited by the authors of Legacies, this book will bring together some of the country's leading scholars of immigration and ethnicity to provide a close look at this rising second generation.

Book Synopsis Dictionary of the British English Spelling System by : Greg Brooks
Download or read book Dictionary of the British English Spelling System written by Greg Brooks and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.
Book Synopsis The Fifth Narrative by : Benjamin Katz
Download or read book The Fifth Narrative written by Benjamin Katz and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written for bright, brave and curious people who wish to become farsighted, to find other meanings and necessities beyond our recent Grand Tales (Religion, Pessimism, Capitalism and Science). The Fifth Narrative is about our emergence out of our "dung beetle´" state. It reveals our unawareness that the "dungballs" which currently sustain us (Grand Narratives) constrain our ability to be farsighted thus endangering our future evolution. It tells how human folly in our time seems more than ever to confound these grand stories and their bearing meaning. It explains why a new grand Narrative is necessary in order to survive and prevail. And why a new psychology encompassing areas like global ecology, demography, resources and politics is of impending necessity. The book deals with the emergence of a new civilization through technology and farsighted knowledge, which will form and guide our further evolution. Its essential message is: Let us become wiser ascending Icarus, rising beyond our limiting schemes and perspectives.

Book Synopsis Visual Global Politics by : Roland Bleiker
Download or read book Visual Global Politics written by Roland Bleiker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a visual age. Images and visual artefacts shape international events and our understanding of them. Photographs, film and television influence how we view and approach phenomena as diverse as war, diplomacy, financial crises and election campaigns. Other visual fields, from art and cartoons to maps, monuments and videogames, frame how politics is perceived and enacted. Drones, satellites and surveillance cameras watch us around the clock and deliver images that are then put to political use. Add to this that new technologies now allow for a rapid distribution of still and moving images around the world. Digital media platforms, such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, play an important role across the political spectrum, from terrorist recruitment drives to social justice campaigns. This book offers the first comprehensive engagement with visual global politics. Written by leading experts in numerous scholarly disciplines and presented in accessible and engaging language, Visual Global Politics is a one-stop source for students, scholars and practitioners interested in understanding the crucial and persistent role of images in today’s world.

Book Synopsis The Pentagon's New Map by : Thomas P.M. Barnett
Download or read book The Pentagon's New Map written by Thomas P.M. Barnett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-05-03 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, America's national security establishment has been searching for a new operating theory to explain how this seemingly "chaotic" world actually works. Gone is the clash of blocs, but replaced by what? Thomas Barnett has the answers. A senior military analyst with the U.S. Naval War College, he has given a constant stream of briefings over the past few years, and particularly since 9/11, to the highest of high-level civilian and military policymakers-and now he gives it to you. The Pentagon's New Map is a cutting-edge approach to globalization that combines security, economic, political, and cultural factors to do no less than predict and explain the nature of war and peace in the twenty-first century. Building on the works of Friedman, Huntington, and Fukuyama, and then taking a leap beyond, Barnett crystallizes recent American military history and strategy, sets the parameters for where our forces will likely be headed in the future, outlines the unique role that America can and will play in establishing international stability-and provides much-needed hope at a crucial yet uncertain time in world history. For anyone seeking to understand the Iraqs, Afghanistans, and Liberias of the present and future, the intimate new links between foreign policy and national security, and the operational realities of the world as it exists today, The Pentagon's New Map is a template, a Rosetta stone. Agree with it, disagree with it, argue with it-there is no book more essential for 2004 and beyond.
