Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Zing Zang Zoom, Gold Edition,
a magical circus experience, where just feet away from your seat you will enjoy
high-flying excitement and pulse-pounding acts combined with performers of amazing
courage and extraordinary skill!
Zing Zang Zoom, Gold Edition combines astonishing thrills with the outlandish fun
of the circus to create a show that pulls you right into the heart of the action!
Thrilllusionist David DaVinci wows audiences with eye-popping illusions and mind-blowing
transformations, all mysteriously interwoven throughout the show.
This modern Houdini even attempts to escape a straitjacket while suspended three stories
in the air above a den of lions.
DaVinci is the only Thrilllusionist who performs with a feathered flock of eight rare and
colorful birds including African Greys, Cockatoos and Macaws that can only be seen at
Zing Zang Zoom, Gold Edition! Guided by DaVinci, these winged performers take flights
of fantasy around the arena.
Audience members’ eyes are transfixed high above the center of the ring as they witness acts
whose feet never come close to touching the ground. Viktoriya and Widny, the Hairdaring Duo,
execute an unbelievable extreme hair hang an amazing 35 feet in the air.
The Sky-High Sensation, Francleib Rodrigues, is a courageous daredevil who walks, upside
down, across the ring, without a safety harness, three stories above the audience.
Zing Zang Zoom, Gold Edition showcases captivating performances by international
daredevils from across the globe. The Kung Fu Kings combine mixed martial arts with
mind-boggling strength to accomplish feats that include twisting solid metal poles around their
bodies and diving through hoops of razor-sharp sabers, blindfolded! The Barons of Balance,
with the world’s fastest feet, display the finesse and amazing agility of dancers as they effortlessly
leap from one thumb-thin low-wire to another. And flying high and flipping furiously are
The Salsations who take vaulting, aerial gymnastics and sizzling dance moves to scorching new extremes.
At Zing Zang Zoom, Gold Edition circus-goers get up close and personal with the majestic
animals of Ringling Bros.® Hans Klose and his 10 high-energy dogs display their animal athleticism
with a fun and whimsical twist. The talented pups high jump, hurdle, dive from 16 feet up in the air,
back flip and even walk on their hind legs. A pride of golden lionesses and one rare white lion, perform
a fascinating routine that demonstrate the amazing relationship between a human and his cats.
Most impressive of all, watch trainer Ramon Esqueda and our treasured Asian elephants groove
just a few feet away from your seat.
With abundant thrills comes loads of fun, when the Ringling Bros. clowns bring comical and musical hilarity
to Children Of All Ages. The Clowning Caveagna Family creates instrumental mayhem with interactive
silliness and antics. Who knew clowns could be so musical and funny all at once!
The action at Zing Zang Zoom, Gold Edition begins an hour before show time
at the All Access Pre-show – FREE to all ticket holders. Get to know the world’s greatest performers
and exotic animals in person before the show. The All Access Pre-show is the only place where you

Gift Wrapping Ideas
Stamped Gift Wrap
Enclose gifts in special wrapping paper covered in impressions made with a square rubber stamp. For a uniform pattern, stamp a large sheet of paper repeatedly with the same stamp, leaving a small space between each impression. Or, stamp just the center of a piece of wrapping paper. A stamp rolling pin also makes an attractive pattern. Here, we applied several different colors to a sheet of white paper to create a muted design.
Modern Wrapping Paper
This stack of spirited wrapping paper, made using our clip art, is sure to bring joy this holiday. Just print out one -- or all -- of the five patterns (11-by-17-inch paper works best).
Woven Ribbon Wrap
Here's our idea of thinking outside the box: interweaving ribbons to dress up a gift. The weaving begins with a single ribbon stretched across the top of the package, its loose ends fixed to the bottom with double-sided tape.

White Truffles Recipe
Cook Time: 10 Min Yield: 20 Truffles
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 7 ounces good white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (recommended: Baileys)
- 1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 6 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, chopped
Directions
Place the cream in a heat-proof bowl, and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook until heated through. Using a wire whisk, slowly stir the white chocolate into the warm cream until completely melted. Whisk in the liqueur and vanilla. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until pliable but firm enough to scoop.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
With 2 teaspoons or a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, make dollops of the chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until firm enough to roll into rough spheres.
Place the chopped hazelnuts on a sheet pan and place them in the oven for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, set over a pan of simmering water.
Drizzle the melted bittersweet chocolate over 10 of the truffles. Roll the remaining truffles in the chopped nuts. Chill until ready to serve.

Professionalism-Why is it so Important?
Professionalism: The knowledge that an individual carries about a certain field. It consists of a person doing their job with sincerity and maintaining professional etiquette and ethics in the workplace. It usually consists of logical and unbiased decision making.
To most, professionalism is self-explanatory. Just in case, here are some guidelines to follow, to help you keep a professional image.
When you are trying to maintain a professional image, there are certain rules you must abide in order to be respected as a business man/woman.
- Do not make personal relationships with those you plan on making business relationships with. It typically results in conflict of interests and can affect proper business actions in the future.
- Do not offer favors for clients/customers. Treat everyone equally to avoid and complaints.
- Always keep a uniform method of communication.
- Make sure your staff is on the same page as to how to communicate with clients and each other.
- Being professional applies with employees and clients. Employees should learn to communicate properly with one another. This way it comes naturally when dealing with clients/vendors.
- Do not bash your competition or spread rumors. This should be avoided at all times.
- Dress your position! For most, work is not a fashion show. Women: Make sure all assets are covered, attire is neatly pressed, make-up is not applied heavily, perfume isn't too strong, nails/toes are manicured, breath smells good, hair is up kept and jewelry is minimal. Men: Stay groomed with facial hair, nails, and attire. Do not wear wrinkled clothing and don’t be afraid to smile :-)
Typically lack of motivation at work results in lack of professionalism. Always view yourself as the client/customer. How would you want to be treated? If you were your own customer, would you be pleased with the treatment given? Remember, a customer should never know if you’re having a bad day. Learn to turn it on/off. Stay focused, dress accordingly, have complete knowledge of your line of business, know your competitions-but do not bash them and always have a positive attitude. Smiles are always important too.
Professionalism should be maintained at all times. Good luck to you and I hope to see you start the New Year with your new professional attitude.
