    its rooms one night, they will never be able to sell those rooms on that day ever again. Because of this, hotels have begun charging customers a fee for not showing up for their reservation and will strategically overbook on certain nights to avoid losing profits. This is the best way to avoid loses because not many people will pay money for a room they do not plan on using. Perishability also affects restaurants who serve food on a buffet. Some of the foods left on a buffet can be used in other recipes or reused the next day, but some of the uneaten food must be thrown away and is a direct hit on food costs. For example, at Skyviews they have a buffet along with an a la carte menu. At the beginning of the lunch shift the buffet is pushed harder than the à la carte menu because once the buffet runs out the à la carte menu becomes the only option. This saves money on food costs and food waste. Like mentioned before, plating only enough food for one serving and encouraging taking home left over food eliminates even more wasted food. In managing a business, it is important to have a close watch on the inseparability and perishability of the company because of the many factors that play into each of them. People are unpredictable so it is important to always be one step ahead. Marketing is not as simple as some believe it to be. There are hundreds of moving parts and must be controlled with excellence. The most successful companies are the ones who truly understand having a…

    Landing on the hard consonants and using them at the beginning of the word to propel the pitch forward worked perfectly. However, where there were any uncertain parts, prime example being the "Fa la la" section of “Fire”, our intonation, as well as all the other technical aspects declined rapidly in quality. As far as rhythmic accuracy goes, “Fire” may have lacked that quite a bit in the “Fa la la” section of the song, as well as small hiccups in some of the alleluia phrases of the Latin piece…

It also shows the function of the social class of the time. Even still, The Pearl shows that women are smart and strong when it comes to protecting the family. The Pearl is a…

Here Gaspar de Alba succinctly summarizes a classical variation of the malice story/myth.” pg.67) Rodriguez never stated in his passage that Malinche was also known as La Llorona. It must be a story/myth that was made up over the years in Mexico. Romero and Harris state that because of the betrayal of Malinches’ tribe she is given a consequence of the eternally fighting,…
