...Benefits of Exercise Physical exercise has many benefits on the human body. Have you ever heard the expression "use it or lose it"? This is very true! If you don't use your body, you will surely lose it. Your muscles will become weak and flabby. Your heart and lungs won't function efficiently and your joints will be stiff and easily injured. Inactivity is as much of a health risk as smoking! This is why exercise is necessary to maintain good health and a healthy physical body. Three health benefits exercise has on the physical body include cancer prevention, lower resting heart rate, and other immune system benefits. Daily exercise can possibly prevent cancers from growing in the body. Exercise has been linked to a reduction in the occurrence of breast, prostate, lung, uterine and colon cancers. Though cancer was previously thought to be largely a product of nutrition and consumption habits, now many researchers think it can be affected by how much physical exercise you do. Exactly why exercise is able to prevent cancer is unclear. One theory is that obesity is linked to having a higher chance of getting cancer. Because regular exercise helps prevent obesity, it could also prevent cancer related to obesity. Fit people are less likely to be overweight and have lower body fat, which can cause cancers. Hormone levels are often changed by exercise, which has an effect on whether or not the body is susceptible to cancerous growths. A lower resting heart rate is another benefit...

...Dog parks are good for dogs and the community all in one. Many people will find making a decision for a dog park hard. Dog parks have both advantages and disadvantages, but I mostly agree with having a dog park. I agree with having a dog park for many reasons. First of all, If a dog doesn't learn how to get along with other dogs it may attack a strange thing or person. I surely think that everyone will not want to be attacked or their pet to be attacked by an dog. When New York City started allowing dogs off-leash in dog parks, dog bite reports dropped from 40,000 to fewer than 4,000 per year. Excercise and Socializing is important to a dogs mental and physical health. Second Of all, bad behavior caused by dogs being lonely...

...before. I’ve also gained new insights into the obstacles that were standing in my way as it helped me try new things and move into new directions in my life. Furthermore, the training taught me to be patient and take small steps so the training and process doesn’t overwhelm me. One of the most important thing I’ve learned is that if I want to think more effectively about the problems in my life, I have to build up my self-assurance. In conclusion, this experience improved the way I achieve my goals and not only in physical activities but also in the other aspects of my life. Running has many benefits on an individual’s health. The most common reason for running is to reduce weight and it is proven that excercising especially running, burns calories while you run and after you stop. Another benefit is that running is very effective for treating depression. Studies have shown that moderate excercise can help people cope with stress and anxiety and that just 30 minutes of running during the week for three weeks can boost your sleep quality, mood, and concentration during the day. Also, running can prevent many serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. This is because running lowers blood pressure, raises good chloesterol, and boosts immunity to viruses such as a cold. Furthermore, running improves an individual’s self-esteem and that indivdual is more likely to achieve their goals than an individual that doesn’t run. In addition, studies shown that people who...

...trial. The jury’s role is to evaluate the facts presented by both the prosecution and the defense, and decide whether those facts are substantial enough to convict, or not to convict, a person of the crime for which they are accused. This has been a cornerstone of American justice since before the country’s birth. The right of a trial by a jury of peers is an inalienable right guaranteed to everyone, and is protected by the Constitution. The rights of a jury are also inherent. A jury has a right to nullify, or disregard, the instructions of a court and the facts of a case in coming to a decision. Oftentimes, however, juries are intentionally not informed of this right. Many critics of jury nullification claim that its excercise and application leads to a lawless society (Scheflin, Van Dyke, 1991: 424). California’s jury instructions state that the jury must perform their duty uninfluenced by pity or sentiment for a defendant or passion or prejudice against them, while Maryland’s jury instructions state that while the facts about what the law says are meant to be helpful they may disregard them as they see fit (Bonsignore, et al:428). The practice of jury nullification in the United States dates back to the colonial period of our nation. In 1735, John Peter Zenger was arrested by the British government and charged with printing inflammatory content against the government of New York. According to English law at the time, it was illegal to write...

...We live in a world full of potentially harmful things. Germs, bacterias, viruses and diseases are just a few of them. Over a period of thousands of years mankind has survived many infections and pandemics, some of which wiped out large portions of people. The black death, the Spanish flu, tuberculosis, and cholera are just a few needles in a haystack of pandemics that mankind has survived over time. Unfortunately, when it comes to these types of things there is no such thing as "risk free." This is just a part of life. The only way for mankind to be at absolutely no risk at all would be for us to live in a completely sterile world, which is inevitably impossible. There are many things in life in which we can never be one hundred percent sure. Our health is one of them. However, there are many things we can do to increase the chances of avoiding certain diseases and viruses and such. Many of these things don't even cross our minds. Some of them are quite simple and even enjoyable. The immune system is designed to fight off disease. Maintaining a healthy immune system is a must. Acheiving accurate sleep is very important in order for our body not to be run down. Nutrition is also key to staying healthy, whether it be eating/drinking too much of what we shouldn't or not eating/drinking enough of what we should. Vitamin C is a well known friend of the immune system. Very commonly, when one becomes ill, orange juice is at the top or near the top of their grocery...

...Undecided Title Jessica Cottrill COM/156 Gerald Chouinard There are two gods in Greek mythology that stand out from a medical standpoint, in particular. Those being Hippocrates and Asclepius. Hippocrates has become known to many historians and physicians as the founding father of medicine due to his taking it and making it a rational practice, free from magic and superstition. (Osborn, 2010.) The influences of Hippocrates are vast and still provide a basis for physicians today. He was the first to document medical histories and use patient histories to study their illnesses. He factored in all aspects of their lives including past medical problems, the climate in which they live, diet and their line of work. The Hippocratic collection is composed of Hippocrates writings from his research and practice of medicine. It is composed of sixty books documenting information on every part of the human body including the brain, skin and eyes. It is unclear as to whether Hippocrates wrote all of the collection, but it is thought to have been written by himself and his students. (Truman, 2013.) The myth of Asclepius and his contributions to modern medicine are surrounded by more fantastical stories of healing than, Hippocrates. According to ancient Greek history, Asclepius was so skilled in his surgical and healing capabilities, it appeared as though he could rise the dead to living again. According to myth, Asclepius was struck down by the gods who were...

I entered Silence a thousand times before I saw the face of True Silence. Meditation is a natural state of mind. It is purely a mental activity. The main goal in meditation is to establish contact with the Divine within - the awakening of the Divine Consciousness within. The main point in meditation is for the activated life-force to do its purification work. Meditation is not a practice which one can grasp and become proficient overnight. You have made a beginning in meditation the very first instance that you close your eyes to make contact with the Divine within. Once you have learned to turn inward to make contact with the Divine within, you become the beholder of Its activity and expression so that you can draw your good from the Divine within. As people awaken generally, more and more are viewing meditation scientifically rather than as a mysterious exercise practised by so-called mystics. Do not be discouraged even if you seem to be making...

...Module Title: Business Ethics and Social Responsibility Question 1: Set out the main criticisms that have been levelled at the above three MNC's In the case of Nestle, it became evident that no formal research into the emerging market was carried out. No approached to local authorities or government agencies was made; who may have had great knowledge/insight into feeding practice within the region or problems/issues that Nestle may be faced with. They simply tried to implement existing 'western' aspirational marketing practice into a region that they knew nothing about. Their communications with the target market were poor & unclear which led to the misconception that formula was a good way to replace breast milk and other forms of nutrition vital to child development. The company did not play its role in educating the public as to the proper methods of using the product and indeed the danger of it's misuse, and also did not consider the different living conditions as a factor in which could lead to such misuse. Their aggressive marketing approach ignored or de-emphasized breast feeding & much of their promotional efforts were misleading in encouraging poor & illiterate mothers to bottle-feed rather than breast feed their infants. Advertising portrayed breast-feeding as primitive and inconvenient. Free gifts & samples were supplied by sales reps dressed as quasi-medical staff known as 'milk nurses'; which were viewed as 'endorsements by association'. Quality control...

...BUSINESS COMMUNICATION BUSINESS COMMUNICATION AND THE TECHNOLOGY CONTEXT You are sitting at your computer when you hear the familiar musical chord that announces an incoming message. You activate your interview line, and the communication manager of your company appears in the comer of your screen. "Thought you would be interested in this memo from headquarters," she says. "regarding the new communication system we're installing. Soon we'll be completely wireless, and you'll be able to receive and transmit images that can fill your screen rather than sit in the corner of it," She chuckles. "That's assuming you want a larger image of whoever you're talking to!" You chat for a few minutes while the copy of the memo is being sent. Within a minute or two, your printer gives you a copy of the memo. You say goodbye and deactivate your interview line. Why Managing Information within Organizations? The growth of information technology over the past 30 years has transformed the way business is transacted throughout the world. Obvious effects of the new technologies include a marked increase in the amount and availability of information and greater speed in sending and receiving it. Other, less obvious effects are changes in organizational structure from the diminishing importance of physical location in running a business. Additional changes involve requirements in computer literacy even for entry‐level positions and changes in individuals' work demand and expectations...

...INTRODUCTION TO ETHICS WHAT IS ETHICS Ethics is a major branch of philosophy, encompassing right conduct and good life. It is significantly broader than the common conception of analyzing right and wrong. A central aspect of ethics is "the good life", the life worth living or life that is simply satisfying, which is held by many philosophers to be more important than moral conduct. Simply put, ethics involves learning what is right or wrong, and then doing the right thing -- but "the right thing" is not nearly as straightforward as conveyed in a great deal of business ethics literature. Most ethical dilemmas in the workplace are not simply a matter of "Should Bob steal from Jack?" or "Should Jack lie to his boss?" (Many ethicists assert there's always a right thing to do based on moral principle, and others believe the right thing to do depends on the situation -- ultimately it's up to the individual.) Many philosophers consider ethics to be the "science of conduct." Philosophers have been discussing ethics for at least 2500 years, since the time of Socrates and Plato. Many ethicists consider emerging ethical beliefs to be "state of the art" legal matters, i.e., what becomes an ethical guideline today is often translated to a law, regulation or rule tomorrow. Values which guide how we ought to behave are considered moral values, e.g., values such as respect, honesty, fairness, responsibility, etc. Statements around how these values are applied are sometimes called moral or ethical...

...FROM WID TO GAD: CONCEPTUAL SHIFTS IN THE WOMEN AND DEVELOPMENT DISCOURSE Abstract The Fourth World Conference on Women, to be held in Beijing in September 1995, provides an opportunity for the world community to focus attention on areas of critical concern for women worldwide concerns that stem from social problems embracing both men and women, and that require solutions affecting both genders. One of the main objectives of the Conference is to adopt a platform for action, concentrating on some of the key areas identified as obstacles to the advancement of women. UNRISDs work in preparation for the Fourth World Conference on Women focuses on two of the themes highlighted by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women: 2 inequality in women’s access to and participation in the definition of economic structures and policies and the productive process itself; and 2 insufficient institutional mechanisms to promote the advancement of women. The Institutes Occasional Paper series for Beijing reflects work carried out under the UNRISD/UNDP project, Technical Co-operation and Women’s Lives: Integrating Gender into Development Policy. The activities of the project include an assessment of efforts by a selected number of donor agencies and governments to integrate gender issues into their activities; the action-oriented part of the project involves pilot studies in Bangladesh, Jamaica, Morocco, Uganda and Viet Nam, the goal of which is to initiate a policy dialogue between...

...Seminar Report Security Issues in MANETs Abhishek Seth 04329001 November12 ,2004 Abstract Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) has become an exciting and important technology in recent years because of the rapid proliferation of wireless devices. A mobile adhoc network consists of mobile nodes that can move freely in an open environment. Communicating nodes in a Mobile Adhoc Network usually seek the help of other intermediate nodes to establish communication channels. In such an environment, malicious intermediate nodes can be a threat to the security of conversation between mobile nodes. The security experience from the Wired Network world is of little use in Wireless Mobile Ad hoc networks, due to some basic differences between the two Networks. Therefore, some novel solutions are required to make Mobile Adhoc Network secure. problems of secuirity in MANETs. Further sections deals with some of the solutions to these problems. Finally Section 10 concludes this article. 2 2.1 Mobile Adhoc Networks Introduction 1 Introduction Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a collection of independent mobile nodes that can communicate to each other via radio waves. The mobile nodes that are in radio range of each other can directly communicate, whereas others needs the aid of intermediate nodes to route their packets. These networks are fully distributed, and can work at any place without the help of any infrastructure. This property makes these networks highly flexible and robost...

In such an environment, malicious interme¬diate nodes can be a threat to the security of conver¬sation between mobile nodes. The security experience from the Wired Network world is oflittle use in Wire¬less Mobile Ad hoc networks, due to some basic differ¬ences between the two Networks. Therefore, some novel solutions are required to make Mobile Adhoc Network secure. 1 Introduction A Mobile Adhoc Network is a group of wireless mo¬bile computers in which nodes cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow them to communicate beyond direct wireless transmission range. Application such as military excercises, disaster relief, and mine site operation may benefit from adhoc networking, but secure and reliable communication is a necessary pre¬requisite for such applications. MANETS are more vulnerable to attacks than wired networks due to open medium, dynamically changing network topology, cooperative algorithms, lack of cen-tralized monitoring and lack of clear line of defense. Security is a process that is as secure as its weakest link. So, in order to make MANETs secure, all its weak points are to be identified and solutions to make all those weak points safe, are to be considered. Some of the weak points and solutions to strengthen them are considered in this article. However the list is possibly incomplete, and some...
