3/18/2023 0 Comments Sample manager resumeCheck the job description of the positions for which you apply.If you want your resume to be seen by hiring managers, you need to include solid resume skills. Many hopeful applicants typically neglect the resume skills section.Try using words like “spearheaded” and “overhauled” to highlight the ability to work without constant supervision.Though it’s okay to start one or two of your bullet points with the word “assisted” or “helped,” don’t rely on them for more than that. Use language on your restaurant assistant manager resume that sells your ability to work independently. Just because you’re an assistant doesn’t mean you can’t take the initiative.It might seem like a headache, but you’ll score fewer interviews if you fail to customize and mass spam a generic resume to employers. It’s additionally important to mention the restaurant by name. Review the job description and incorporate essential skills. If you opt for a summary, you’ll also need to customize it to each job for which you apply.It can be useful in showcasing your finely-tuned specialties. Include a resume summary only if you can boast 10+ years of expertise.Though it may be customary in some professions to write out numbers, you shouldn’t do so on your resume. Numbers break up the visual monotony of letters and catch hiring managers’ eyes. ![]() Important: don’t spell out the numbers.Include metrics on the number of employees you managed, health inspection scores, quarterly or annual returns, money saved through efficient practices, positive reviews, and reductions in staff turnover. Your restaurant manager resume should show rather than tell your impressive job performance.As a restaurant manager, where quantifiable metrics can show your capability, numbers become essential in distinguishing your resume. It’s another to demonstrate that you are, in fact, quantifiably good at what you do. It’s one thing to tell someone you’re good at your job.

3/17/2023 0 Comments Rolex batman![]() In addition, with the GMT-Master II, it is possible to set another time zone temporarily using the bezel. Many other watch manufacturers offer only a quick adjustment of the 24-hour hand, which is inconvenient when traveling. The GMT-Master II is well known for this practical travel watch function. Thus, the 24-hour hand is best used for the home time and/or for the GMT for pilots, while the normal hour hand shows the local time. In the second pulled position, the minutes hand can be adjusted (and with it, the 24-hour and the normal hour hand). The date will also follow in either direction. ![]() In the first pulled position, the normal hour hand can be advanced forward or back in hourly increments to set a new zone time. The winding crown is also simple to use to wind the watch after unscrewing it from its locked position. The Easylink extension gives it some air to breathe. The elegant Jubilee bracelet has a practical Oysterlock folding clasp and safety bar. Opening the safety bar by lifting the Rolex crown reveals a lever that is also easy to lift for opening the clasp fully. The fold-out safety bar blends in when shut. The high-quality clasp on the Jubilee bracelet is nearly perfect, both in its workmanship and in its ease of operation. A half link can be folded out from the clasp to make the bracelet longer with no obvious difference in its appearance. This practical mechanism is helpful when higher temperatures or physical activity may cause wrist size to increase. It has an additional safety bar but looks very similar – both have the Easylink extension that can lengthen the bracelet by up to 5 mm. Rolex does not pair an Oyster clasp with the Jubilee bracelet here as it does with the Datejust watches but instead uses the Oysterlock folding clasp like it does on its sport models. The bracelet and the case are still made of non-corrosive 904L stainless steel, which Rolex has recently begun calling “Oystersteel.” The Oyster bracelet is also comfortable thanks to its curved links. Its small links lie snugly and do not pull delicate wrist hair. The Jubilee bracelet is very comfortable to wear. Like the Oyster bracelet for the GMT-Master II, the inner links are polished and the outer links have a brushed finish.īatman or Pepsi? The color combination on the Batman is somewhat more reserved the Pepsi more closely adheres to the original. Rolex designed the Jubilee bracelet in 1945 for the Datejust but as early as 1959, the GMT-Master was also available with an optional Jubilee bracelet. Rolex previously equipped the GMT-Master II with the sportier three-row Oyster bracelet on the gold and Rolesor (steel and gold) GMT-Master II models. Both feature a new movement and the five-row Jubilee bracelet that was once reserved for Datejust models only. Today the GMT-Master II in steel is offered in two versions that differ only in the color of their bezels: the Pepsi and the Batman, our test watch. Later, there were more reserved versions like the black-and-red “Coke” model. The popularity of the GMT-Master grew from its pilots’-watch flair and its colorful and immediately recognizable bezel. New jet airplanes were making intercontinental flights shorter and more popular, and with the increasing number of flights came a rise in the desire for watches with a dual time zone. These and other specifications originated from Pan Am Airways, who requested the model. These colors were first selected to more clearly distinguish between the day and night hours in the second time zone. The first GMT-Master II of 1954 sported the blue-and-red 24-hour scale and was later called “Pepsi” because of this color combination. This particular color combination did not exist previously. Its predecessor with these same colors appeared in 2013, and was the first Rolex model with a two-tone ceramic bezel. Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring.The blue-and-black color combination on the bezel of this Rolex GMT-Master II led its fans to call it “Batman.” The current version with a Jubilee bracelet and a new movement was introduced in 2019.

While we determined to fit in with the crowd calling the others “Brother” and “Sister,” it became evident to both Steve and I that we were not as they would say, “saved.” This was a new term to us, but we didn’t sit under biblical teaching long before we learned what it meant. ![]() amazed that the preacher never gave his own thoughts in answer but always reply, “Right here in the Bible, it says…” Soon we were visiting this church. He was challenged by he heard and even began to ask the preacher some questions. Steve would work equipment and listen to the Bible being taught. Hallelujah! I have found Him Whom my soul so long has craved! Jesus satisfies my longings Thru His blood I now am saved.įrom the song, Satisfied, by Clara Tear Williams. If you have trusted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior as a result of reading this, please e-mail us and let us know.Īll my life long I had panted For a draught, from some clear spring, That I hope would quench the burning Of the thirst I felt within. Then get yourself a Bible and read the book of John. The words you say do not save, Jesus does. Please come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior from this day forward. I believe You rose from the dead on the third day and that the sacrifice You made with Your own blood on the cross was the only acceptable payment for my sin. Pray something like this: Dear Jesus, I confess I am a sinner deserving death and hell. Since Jesus is willing to take you right now, just as you are, and forgive you your sins and come into your heart to save you, would you be willing to bow your head right now, and ask Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life? Only then will you find true peace, true completeness, true hope, true joy. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”Įphesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The greatest sin of all is rejecting Christ, the blameless, Lamb of God Who suffered on a cross to pay our sin debt that we could not pay. Notice in Revelation 21:8 above it refers to the unbelieving. The good news is: Jesus paid the sin debt for all who will place the trust in Him as Savior. ![]() Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”ģ. Romans 6:23a, “For the wages of sin is death.” The consequence of our sin is eternal separation from a righteous and holy God. Isaiah 64:6,”But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.”Ģ.Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”.Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.”.Every one of us has broken at least one of God’s ten commandments. That means if you consider yourself a “good” person before God, you aren’t ready to be saved. All have sinned, and are separated from God. God tells us in the book of Romans, (and throughout the Bible) that there are four things a person needs to know to be saved.ġ. ![]() Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” This is the most important decision you will ever make.

A shoebill spends most of the time standing, hidden and watching out for its prey. The shoebill can fly but not for a long period of time considering it can only flap its wings to about 150 times a minute. Thus the male and female bow to each other as a display of their courtship It will make a resounding clapping-like sound attracting the female while simultaneously scaring away any competitors and other small animals. This is most evidenced in the mating season when the male adult picks out its mate. However when it makes a sound, it is ground shaking experience. The shoebill bird is a quiet bird and can go for days without making any noise or sounds apart from flapping of its wings all the time. Sibling rivalry is very common among these young shoebills. The bigger chicks often pick on the smaller ones especially when the mother is way, and this often drives the defeated bird to live outside of the family. They fight each other off until the weakest chick is pushed out of the nest. When hungry, the chicks make hiccup-like sounds to notify the mother that they need food. The chicks are known for being insanely competitive. The young one is not able to stand and move on its own until 2 months, so it solely depends on the mother’s food provision until three months later when they can do feed on their own without the supervision of the parents. The female bird lays between 1 to 3 eggs and incubates then for about 30 days until they hatch. A shoebill stork becomes sexually active at 3 to 4 years of age. The shoebill mating season is closer to the dry period than the wet period when it is safer for the nest and eggs. The shoebill stork can live for more than 35 years in the wild. The male and female only come together for mating, building the nesting area and incubating the eggs. Socially, the shoebill stock is a solitary and quiet animal. It is used to catch and kill the prey, as well as to chop off the heads of the prey for ease while swallowing. The beak is a fundamental instrument in eating. At the right moment, it strikes promptly and deadly possibly killing its prey in one swift move. The shoebill will wait out its prey especially in the shallow ends of wetlands or any floating vegetation to stake out its meal. They attack at the baby crocodile swiftly when an opportunity presents itself and with its sharp and hard beak, once the prey is captured, it cannot escape their fate. It is known for being a fierce hunter and a patient predator. Shoebills prefer to feed on lungfish but supplement this other assortment like water snakes, frogs, turtles, and occasionally baby crocodiles when the young one’s parents are not around. The Shoebill is a carnivorous bird that mainly feeds on fish and aquatic features. This means that when a shoebill spreads its wings, it has a bigger wingspan than Shaquille O’Neal. The shoebill wings can spread up to 2.5 meters and can flap about 150 times per minute. ![]() The legs are long, slender and black in colour, with large feet. The beak is almost 10 inches long, deadly and used for both feeding and protecting itself. The beak of the shoebill is curved at the tip and has very sharp edges with which the bird uses to cut through its food. It is grey in colour and it has the most outstanding feature which is the shoe-shaped bill. The shoebill stock is a tall bird with a height of about 4.5 feet and weighs about 7 kilograms. The shoebill stock is also known as “whale head”. In Uganda where you are guaranteed to see, visitors can find them in Mabamba swamp, Along River Nile in Murchison falls national park, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Semuliki national park and some other swamps close to Lake Victoria. The Shoebill stock is endemic to East and Central Africa and it can be found in countries of Uganda, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia and South Sudan. The shoebill tends to inhabit in more open areas preferably particular vegetation formed by papyrus and tall grass around freshwater swamps, wetlands, lake and Rivers. ![]() Below are some of the facts anyone should know about the shoebill stock. The shoebill stock is a very large stork-like bird which derives its name from its enormous shoe-shaped bill. Facts about the Shoebill Stock bird : The shoebill stork also scientifically called Balaeniceps rex is one of the best bird species in Africa and certainly one of the most challenging birds to find in Africa. 3/17/2023 0 Comments Open world cross platform games![]() With a sandbox-like survival mode and a well-written, episodic story mode, The Long Dark has something to offer just about everyone. ![]() The Long Dark is an adventure survival game set in the wintry, snow-bound depths of Canada.

( 2018) reported a significant decline in corn ( Zea mays L.) (14.4%) and soybean (20%) relative yields for each unit increase in electrical conductivity (EC) after threshold levels of 5.2 and 3.3 dS m −1, respectively, in sandy loam soils of North Dakota. Salt-affected soils cover 932 million ha of the total land area of the world (Wong, Greene, Dalal, & Murphy, 2010) and 1.2 million ha (46% of the arable land) in the Red River Valley of North Dakota (Butcher, Wick, DeSutter, Chatterjee, & Harmon, 2018). However, both types of soil degradation are receiving local research attention to improve soil health and crop production. Both of these types of soil degradation are likely to increase in land area in the future, continuing to reduce the land's capacity to produce crops. In North Dakota, agricultural production in some areas is limited under salt-affected soils (Butcher, Wick, DeSutter, Chatterjee, & Harmon, 2016) and soils contaminated by the accidental release of crude oil (Croat, O'Brien, Gasch, Casey, & DeSutter, 2020). Amendments increased microbial metabolism and have the potential to improve soil health and crop production for soils with severe limitations.ĭue to the reduction in highly productive agricultural land area around the world, attention has been given to the management of marginal lands that have limited productivity (Pimentel & Burgess, 2013). Base efflux had a strong association with permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC) for all soils, and a strong association with inorganic N for only saline and non-saline soils. Spent lime and compost also significantly ( P < .05) increased base efflux over the control. Proganics had the highest base efflux of 29.0 and 24.0 μg CO 2–C m −2 d −1 for saline and thermal desorption-treated soils, respectively, and significantly ( P < .05) higher than other amendments. Soil, amendment, and DW had significant effect on base efflux and the rate of change in base efflux during DW. ![]() Base efflux and the rate of change in base efflux were calculated from the slope and intercept of a linear fit model of CO 2 efflux over time (h), respectively for each DW cycle. For the laboratory incubation, these four soils were treated with three amendments, (a) composted beef manure, (b) spent lime from sugarbeet ( Beta vulgaris L.) processing, and (c) commercial mulch (Proganics), and soil CO 2 efflux was measured for three consecutive drying–rewetting (DW) cycles. To examine options for improving the quality of degraded soils, two pairs of soils, (a) non-saline and (b) saline surface soils from an agricultural field, and (a) non-contaminated subsoil and (b) thermal desorption-treated subsoil from an oil-contaminated site were collected. Soil carbon (C) dynamics are often challenged by soil properties like high salt concentration and low organic matter content. |
