How is the technology of the Guinness Surger unit superior?

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:32:43 +0000

I’ve just become aware of this gadget. The technology is said to create the creamy white head that draught Guinness is famous for, but the Rocket Widget contained in Guinness Draught bottles and cans already covers that, and is certainly more convenient. What am I missing?

You aren’t missing much. The proper way to tap a guiness involves a special tap (co2 and nitrogen mixing line) and a lot of time. A proper guiness sits for at LEAST five minutes after being tapped, for that famous rolling head to form.

Looks to me like all this thing does is knock the bubbles around a bit, and convince the convection in the head bubbles to get going, so it looks more like the TV commercial.

Can I get a teaching liscence or certificate in Ohio without majoring in education?

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:32:37 +0000

I live in Ohio and I have a bachelor of geological science. I would like to take the Praxis test so that I could teach. But I need to know if I can do this or if I need to go back to college for 2 more years to get my master’s in education? And if I went back to college I would want to major in Geological Science, not education, so could I still get the teaching liscence? Help?

And then is there a difference between a teaching liscence and a teaching certificate? I really would like to be a earth science teacher for an online k-12 school, but need the paperwork and liscence or certificate to do so. So I am looking to do the quickest and easiest steps to get liscenced or certified in Ohio to teach.
Can anyone help me out with this? Or at least point me in the right direction.

I believe you can teach with a Bachelors in any area without an Ed degree as long as there is a need. You need to call your dept of education (link provided below) and ask them about this. I know in other states they can issue you a temp license for 1-2 years in an area of need to teach in the classroom (depending upon if you pass the background check and a couple of small requirements). For your specific area and location, you need to inquire with them. They will walk you through exactly what you need to do to achieve a teaching license.

What is the difference between Marketing objectives and Strategies in a Marketing Plan?

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:32:30 +0000

Doing a marketing plan for a golf course. Objectives: Increase rounds played, increase awareness. strategies: ??? Should I use pretty much the same thing or are they going to be much different than my objectives?

Objective should be based on increased revenue, increased memberships, increase awareness, increased plays, etc.

Your strategy should consist of methods you plan to implement to reach that objective.
