Landscaping (FOOD)

     As I went on with mentor-ship this thanksgiving break, I went onto find out my mentor professionally landscapes a couple El Pollo locos. Yes the restaurant, it was an old formal client he had and he really liked my mentors work so he went on to hire him at his new El Pollo loco locations. I went on to ask him, what is key when landscaping a restaurant compared to a house? He responded saying, "When you landscape a restaurant that is located near a major street you have to make the landscape appealing to everyone not  just a single home owner like at a house". When you make it appealing to everyone it makes costumers feel comfortable. A restaurant wants a customer to return so if I do my job correctly and as well as the employees of the store, costumers should return meaning I did a good job.

     So remember this the next time you go eat, is it really the food that makes you want to go back to a restaurant late nights or is it the landscaping? That was totally a joke, but really do keep in mind what a landscape does to make a restaurant more appealing. 

Blog 9: EQ

Content:
1.) I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.) a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
Yes, I do think that this is an EQ that follows the rule of three for writing an EQ because it provides a frame work and allows for research but also it is not a yes or no question. Also it allows you to argue some points and the wording is great I clearly understand the it and what it is calling for.
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
No, I do not think this is a good EQ because the wording might be difficult for some to read and it does not easily flow. Also the EQ really does not allow for argument since there are laws that state when you can convict someone, therefore limiting argument. Overall I feel like the EQ can be better.
 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
Yes, this is a good EQ because it clearly states what is being argued and what is being focused on. Also because it allows you to argue a point and does not allow for recitation of facts. It also makes sense and the wording is good. 
 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
No, I believe that this is not a well stated EQ because it does not word who is being treated, therefore meaning treating pets or etc...It really does not allow for arguments and its flow is not good. The EQ can be stated in a different way and an be improved to allow for argument and better flow. I felt based on the rule of three that it was not a good EQ. 
 
3.  Based on the rule of three I came with, "What is most important in creating a more aesthetically pleasing suburb landscape ".  

October post

During the month of October my mentorship schedule changes due to the season change. As the season changes so does the type of work  I do with my mentor. During summer the theme are bright red or orange flowers that bloom every so often. In fall/winter the type of plants that we change to are plants that can handle frost and cold temperatures. An example of a plant that can handle frost and cold temperatures and still look beautiful is the  leatherleaf mahonia... 

Many homeowner want their landscapes to look as natural as possible therefor that's why they hire landscapers to match the landscape to that of a winter or summer setting. 

As a mentor I enjoy working in the cooler temperatures of October because it is easier and less stressful but also because I enjoy the scenery of some houses. My mentor has houses that are located in Glendora, CA and the area is so beautiful that I often become distracted just staring at the Landscape. It is a real joy to work in the fall season.
