...Obesity Capstone Implementation Project Dr. Reid Hope Locklear UNCW Obesity This process of this project was focused on Obesity in which I used information from my Community Assessment to help prepare this project. During completion of the Community Assessment it became clear that one of the major disadvantages that my community suffered from was Obesity. My target audience included a group of participates that range in the age of 20-35 years old in equal numbers of both female and male participates. Teaching was conducted at the local Bariatric Center. My goal in this project was to make participates more aware of the risk associated with obesity and teach them a healthier lifestyle. Program Objective: The objective to this teaching plan was to have participates be able to recall ways to have healthier choices in regards to diet and exercise. They would be able to demonstrate a knowledge base on the way to lead a more heather lifestyle. In the first stage of this teaching experience I wanted to get a base as to what members of the group felt it meant to be obese and their view on obesity and risk associated with this disease. I asked the question to 10 participates within this group if the participate was aware that Obesity was a disease? 10 out of 10 stated that they were not aware that obesity was a disease. I proceeded to ask the participates to use one word to describe...

...that our initial assumption mentioned earlier was correct; women wear certain bras to please their partners. So females do keep their male partner’s in mind when they shop for brassieres. In fact, they mention women buying lace bras to please their partners. We learned, through secondary data, that 47% of men found black to be their favourite color bra on their significant other. (Beckmann) We also found secondary data that reinforced the importance of push-up bras in arousing males. An experiment placed a young woman with size A breasts in two locations wearing various levels of push-up bras, the amount of males who approached her was documented. The results showed that when the bra pushed her breasts up from an A cup to a C cup, the woman got more than triple the amount of male approaches. Considering our findings, we recommended that Limited Brands Inc. launch a “For Him” brassiere collection by Empreinte Lingerie. The “For Him” collection would target women who are looking to...

...Chapter 1 Inroduction Paint History Chapter 1 1.1 Paint History: Paint is one of the oldest synthetic substances known, with a history stretching back into prehistoric times. Prehistoric man made it more than 35,000 years ago as they mixed clays and chalks with animal fats and used these paints to depict their hunts on cave walls. By 2500BC, Egyptians had improved the technology by developing a clear blue pigment by grinding azurite, gums, wax and egg white as binders and solvents for their paints. Greeks learnt to blend paints with hot wax, rather than water, making paint both thicker and easier to spread. By this time, colours were available from natural and synthetic sources, one of the most interesting being a purple pigment made from heating yellow earth till it turned red and then plunging it into vinegar. In the eighteenth century, paint factories began to open in Europe and America, and by the nineteenth century, mass production had brought prices down where houses began to be painted. In the twentieth century, paint manufacturing and its function is widely understood especially from chemical point of view, meaning that paint manufacture has finally moved from being an art to being a science. 1.2 Paint Importance and Its Production: Paints are used for the protection and appearance enhancement of houses, buildings, cars, ships and many more. They are used as a safety feature to grab person attention like in lane markings on road and...

...established that priming the stereotype of professors or the trait intelligent enhanced participants' performance on a scale measuring general knowledge. Also, priming the stereotype of soccer hooligans or the trait stupid reduced participants' performance on a general knowledge scale. Results of the experiments revealed (a) that prolonged priming leads to more pronounced behavioral effects and (b) that there is no sign of decay of the effects for at least 15 min. The authors explain their results by claiming that perception has a direct and pervasive impact on overt behavior (cf. J. A. Bargh, M. Chen, & L. Burrows, 1996). Implications for human social behavior are discussed. behavior in line with the activated constructs (see also Carver, Ganellen, Froming, & Chambers, 1983; Neuberg, 1988). For example, priming participants with the stereotype of the elderly made participants walk more slowly than participants who were not primed (Bargh, Chen, & Burrows, 1996, Experiment 2). In our view, the notion that behavior is under direct perceptual control is of central importance for the understanding of human behavior. After all, upon meeting someone, one usually makes several categorizations instantly. One infers personality traits from the behavior of others spontaneously (Winter & Uleman, 1984). One activates stereotypes automatically (Devine, 1989)....

...government’s strict new regulations. Amidst the usual battle for arranging finances it is finding it hard to keep its mast upright. Rachna on the crossroads On a busy Friday morning, while Dr. Lalitha was busy attending to her patients at her home based clinic, she got a call from the office of Rachna Foundation. The office staff had received a call from the Paper cup machine supplier in Sivakasi, Tamilnadu requesting them to send a scanned copy of the draft at the earliest. The task was simple but a copy of requisition letter signed by her was also required along with the copy of the draft. She hurled into the office at 11 am, completed the formalities and ordered the office staff to complete the rest of the task. In her 2 hours stay at the office, she attended to the teaching staff’s issues and concerns, talked to the parents, called up the corporation office to fix an appointment with the counsellor and called up an NGO which was willing to collaborate with Rachna Foundation. One her way back to the clinic (also her home), she thought of paying a visit to Rachna Foundation’s new building at Palluruthy, Cochin. Even under the 40 degrees hot sun, the construction work was in progress and she was happy with the progress made so far. She slid into her car and was dreaming of the new building which was planned to become operational from July, 2010. It will indeed be a moment of great pride for her and the Foundation when the gates of the new building will be opened to her 150 students...

The original OPERATION PHYSICS activity sequence to improve physics teaching and learning in upper elementary and middle schools was funded by the National Science Foundation. Original Material Copyright 1992 by American Institute of Physics Materials edited and photoduplicated with permission. FORCES & MOTION INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP LEADER’S TOPIC INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO FORCES & MOTION An understanding of force and motion is fundamental to the study of almost all other physics-related topics. Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time....

...variety of reasons. Some examples are meeting sales goals, achieving quality, outstanding performance in a given situation, or delivering a special project. Typical rewards are money in a form of a bonus, trips paid for by the company, gifts from a rewards catalog, or services such as cell phone or paid cable. TYPES OF REWARDS Selecting the appropriate rewards is vital to any programs success. The goal in choosing rewards is to select items that will spark the participant’s interest or feelings, and support the program’s objectives. Effective rewards will both motivate short-term behavior and provide motivation over time. VARIABLE PAY Variable pay or pay-for-performance is a compensation program in which a portion of a person's pay is considered "at risk." Variable pay can be tied to the performance of the company, the results of a business unit, an individual's accomplishments, or any combination of these. It can take many forms, including bonus programs, stock options, and one-time awards for significant accomplishments. Some companies choose to pay their employees less than competitors but attempt to motivate and reward employees using a variable pay program instead. According to Shawn Tully in Fortune , "The test of a good pay-for-performance plan is simple: It must motivate managers to produce earnings growth that far exceeds the extra cost of [the program]. Though employees should be made to stretch, the goals must be within reach." BONUSES Bonus programs have...

All of the companies are screaming for our attention at once, each of which is trying to shout the loudest to be heard over the commotion. This commotion, created by the multitude of companies, blends together creating a constant buzz in the back of the consumer’s mind. It leads to a world filled with overwhelming clutter that leaves consumers trying to find a way to keep from drowning. As a result, many marketers are considering whether the advertising message is still getting through to the customer or if the message is becoming decreasingly effective in particular to the medium used to deliver the message. Marketers are becoming increasingly aware that they need to find a way to break through the clutter created in today’s culture. Some observe that a more cluttered environment reduces advertising viewing, increases avoidance, impairs advertising memories, inhibits the ability to correctly identify the brand, and has an undesirable impact of emotional responses to advertising (Hammer, 2009). This paper examines current research that is being done on traditional mediums of...
