The question is which one of us is the frog and which is the toad,' Willem had said after they'd first seen the show, in JB's studio, and read the kindhearted books to each other late that night, laughing helplessly as they did. He'd smiled; they had been lying in bed. 'Obviously, I'm the toad,' he said. 'No,' Willem said, 'I think you're the frog; your eyes are the same color as his skin.' Willem sounded so serious that he grinned. 'That's your evidence?' he asked. 'And so what do you have in common with the toad?' 'I think I actually have a jacket like the one he has,' Willem said, and they began laughing again.

They were not actively mentoring and encouraging individuality in the child.  The child learned how to survive, but not how to thrive.  They carried these survival mechanisms into adulthood, and never stopped to realize that this was no way to live.

The photo had been taken at the opening of JB's fifth, long-delayed show, 'Frog and Toad,' which had been exclusively images of the two of them, but very blurred, and more abstract than JB's previous work. (They hadn't quite known what to think of the series title, though JB had claimed it was affectionate. 'Arnold Lobel?' he had screeched at them when they asked him about it. 'Hello?!' But neither he nor Willem had read Lobel's books as children, and they'd had to go out and buy them to make sense of the reference.)

The fundamental attribution error is simply this: human beings tend to falsely attribute the negative behaviors of others to their character (an internal attribution), while they attribute their own negative behaviors to their environment (an external attribution).

Ironically, for peer-to-peer accountability to become a part of a team’s culture, it has to be modeled by the leader. That’s right. Even though I said earlier that the best kind of accountability is peer-to-peer, the key to making it stick is the willingness of the team leader to do something I call “enter the danger” whenever someone needs to be called on their behavior or performance. That means being willing to step right into the middle of a difficult issue and remind individual team members of their responsibility, both in terms of behavior and results. But most leaders I know have a far easier time holding people accountable for their results than they do for behavioral issues. This is a problem because behavioral problems almost always precede results. That means team members have to be willing to call each other on behavioral issues, as uncomfortable as that might be, and if they see their leader balk at doing this, then they aren’t going to do it themselves.

It would be more accurate to say that we see with our brain rather than with our eyes. However, the more interesting point is that the brain does not always need to receive information through the eyes in order to “see.” It can recall sights, sounds, and feelings from memory and run the whole sequence like a movie, all inside our head, in the mind’s eye.

This is an important list at the heart of phonics instruction. It alphabetically lists 99 single phonemes (speech sounds) and consonant blends (usually two phonemes), and it gives example words for each of these; often for their use in the beginning, middle, and end of words. These example words are also common English words, many taken from the list of Instant Words. This list solves the problem of coming up with a good common word to illustrate a phonics principle for lessons and worksheets.

Birthday parties and events will be thrown for the child to elicit admiration and attention from others.  However, the child will be punished, berated and humiliated in the middle of the party in front of an audience if they behave against the expectations of the self-absorbed mother.  The party only serves to generate additional narcissistic supply for the mother, not a pleasurable event for the child.  Events are scheduled, changed, and cancelled in order to exert and announce control over the child.  They make it very apparent to the child that the mother can both give pleasure and take pleasure away by these means. 

Anyone who’s ever been in a leadership role quickly learns that you’re squeezed between others’ lofty expectations and your own personal limitations. You realize that while others want you to be of impeccable character, you’re not always without fault. You learn that you can’t see around every corner, and even if you know your way forward everyone may not end up at the same destination, let alone be on time. You discover that despite your best efforts to introduce brilliant innovations, most of them don’t succeed. You find that you sometimes get angry and short, and that you don’t always listen carefully to what others have to say. You’re reminded that you don’t always treat everyone with dignity and respect. You recognize that others deserve more credit than they get, and that you’ve failed to say thank you. You know that sometimes you get, and accept, more credit than you deserve. In other words, you realize that you’re human.

The program titled Fight BAC™ provides four guidelines to keep food safe: 1. Clean—Wash hands and work surfaces often. 2. Separate—Don’t cross contaminate. 3. Cook—Cook to proper temperature. 4. Chill—Refrigerate promptly.

Darkening of bones and meat around the bones occurs primarily in young broiler-fryer chickens (6 to 8 weeks old). The bones have not calcified or hardened completely, so pigment from the bone marrow seeps through the bones and into the surrounding area. Freezing also contributes to this darkening. This is an aesthetic issue, not a safety one.

Most seafood plants have implemented the hazard analysis critical control point system to ensure the safety of seafood.Δ

On the Pacific Coast, salmon usually is sold by species name because of the differences in color, texture, and flavor among species. Chinook (or king) salmon, for example, which ranges in color from white to deep salmon, is the highest-quality salmon and therefore the highest priced. Little of this salmon is canned because most is sold fresh or smoked. Sockeye is the reddest of all varieties, is of high quality, and also is high in price. Silver, medium-red, or Coho salmon, usually a rich orange color slightly touched with red, is widely used for canning. Pink or humpback salmon is lighter in color but has excellent flavor and is good for use in many combination recipes. Chum or keta salmon is light colored and bland in flavor.Δ

Specifications for canned fish should state the species and variety, packing medium, style of pack, size of can, and number of cans per case.

Experiments with the heavy foil wrapping of beef roasts have shown that cooking time is increased, cooking losses are higher, and the meat is less tender.

In a cook-and-chill production system, a specially designed quick-chilling refrigerator should be used to bring hot foods containing meat down to 41°F within four hours. After chilling, the foods should be stored at 32°F to 38°F (0°C to 3°C) and used within 48 hours to avoid safety risks and loss of palatability.

Food laws have several purposes: To ensure the nutritional value of all foods To maintain the integrity of all foods To protect the quality and quantity of all basic foods To promote honesty among producers, processors, and distributors To provide evidence-based informative, accurate labeling for consumers

One method to use to evaluate products is can cutting. A number of suppliers provide the products, and foodservice personnel, the purchasing officer, and others as appropriate receive the products and carefully evaluate against written specifications.

Three goals are achieved with the JIT purchasing process: inventory is decreased significantly, as are related costs; space management is simplified; and problems must be resolved immediately as they occur.

Fresh Fish High-quality fresh fish has firm, elastic flesh with a smooth, slippery slime and shiny surface. The eyes should be bulging and clear, the gills should be pink to bright red, and there should be no strong “fishy” odor. As fish deteriorates, the slime becomes more viscous (sticky) and grainy, the odor changes from smelling like seaweed to smelling like ammonia, and the flesh softens.Δ
