...FITNESS TEST FOR CHAD EVERMORE Unlike other sports, golf does not require intensive power, aerobic, muscular endurance or strength but it does require high levels of skill. Acquiring, developing and maintaining these skills requires a prolonged time for which golfers need to develop fitness components. The fact that Chad is 55years, other age- related tests should be done on him. Cardio-respiratory /endurance fitness Fatigue determines a golfer’s performance. Fatigue usually from walking the 18 holes of the field, the swings and movements greatly affects speed, reaction concentration and neuromuscular coordination. Walking /Running tests, continuous tests to exhaustions, step tests, intermittent tests can be used to measure improvement during the workout program. Strength In the game of golf one needs strength and power which are closely related to solid stability, appropriate grips, controlled swings and calculated outburst of power. Maximal strength tests, handgrip, upper body and hanging lifts tests should be conducted. Flexibility To determine Chad’s range of motion of swings and movements it’s very important to carry out flexibility tests to avoid injuries. Sit and reach test (for hamstring lower back flexibility), shoulder flex tests, back stretch tests (for upper body). Aerobic fitness test Golfers need strong fitness during the rounds of play. Cooper 12min run and cycle tests are recommended. Others Considering Chads age, blood pressure test is required to...

...During the mid-1700s, the industrial revolution greatly increased population. It was a shift from an agricultural society to an urban society powered by fossil fuels. What is "the tragedy o the commons"? Explain how the concept might apply to an unregulated industry that is a source of water pollution? The tragedy of the commons was written by Garret Hardin. Hardin argued that unregulated exploitation would cause environmental depletion. What is environmental science? Name several disciplines involved in environmental science. Environmental Science is the study of how the natural world works and how humans and the environment interact. Environmental Science in an interdisciplinary field which requires expertise from ecology, earth science, chemistry, biology, economics, political science, demography, ethics, and others. Contrast the two meanings of science. Now name three applications of science. One description of science is a systematic process for learning about the world and testing our understanding of it. The term science is also commonly used to refer to the accumulated body of knowledge that arises from this dynamic process of observation, testing, and discovery. Developing Technology, to inform policy for management decisions. Describe the scientific method. What is its typical sequence of steps? What needs to occur before a researcher's results are published? Why is this process important? The scientific method is a technique for testing ideas with observations. Make Observations...

... | | 11/3/2012 | ENV/100 | How do you define environmental science? Environmental science study’s how different elements of the environment interact. Those elements include biological, chemical and physical. Additionally, environmental science includes various aspects of biology, chemistry, economics, hydrology, physics, law, and other sciences that examine climate change, conservation principles, ground-waters, soil contamination, and noise pollution. It is clear to see environmental science covers a large spectrum and those who work in environmental science, generally specialize in one area such as waste management. How does the relationship between science and technology affect environmental problems and solutions in today’s society? Science and technology offers society a chance to look at issue in depth and come up with answer to those problems or areas of improvement. Since the industrial revolution science is the reason for making progress in society to include energy, and information and communication. Our society has greatly improved because of science and technology and it is no doubt that society has grown with the help of science and technology. Modes of transport benefit our society, and greatly help getting from point A to point B. The invention of the telephone and radio without a doubt has broadened human communication, and saved thousands of lives. Without science society would be stuck in the dark ages. For example the creation of computers...

E-mail: jollyjacob70@hotmail.com Received: June 13, 2012 doi:10.5539/ass.v8n12p117 Abstract Increasing awareness on the various environmental problems has led a shift in the way consumers go about their life. There has been a change in consumer attitudes towards a green lifestyle. People are actively trying to reduce their impact on the environment. However, this is not widespread and is still evolving. Organizations and business however have seen this change in consumer attitudes and are trying to gain an edge in the competitive market by exploiting the potential in the green market industry. The current study introduces the concept of green marketing and looks into the various ways in which the different consumer attributes are related to the concept of green marketing. A conceptual framework is presented and the information is analyzed on the basis of the framework. Keywords: green marketing, green...

...share in manufacturing. However, neglecting of protecting the environment while developing manufacturing has already resulted in lots of problems, such as the PM2.5 problem in many major cities, as well as the extreme lack of clean drinking water. On the other hand, concerns over global environmental issues, such as global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, trans-boundary movement of acid rain, and hazardous waste, etc., are mounting worldwide. About 25 years ago, a law named Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, which set out basic principles and directions for formulating environmental policies, was enacted on December 26, 1989. This Law was formulated for the purpose of protecting and improving people's environment and the ecological environment, preventing and controlling pollution and other public hazards, safeguarding human health and facilitating the development of socialist modernization. The law has stated that The state shall encourage the development of education in the science of environmental protection, strengthen the study and development of the science and technology of environmental protection, raise the scientific and technological level of environmental protection and popularize scientific knowledge of environmental protection. It also emphasized that all units and individuals shall have the obligation to protect the environment and shall have the right to report on or file charges against...

...This has resulted in depletion of several valuable natural resources. Green consumerism refers to recycling, purchasing and using eco-friendly products that minimize damage to the environment. More and more businesses and industries are joining in the green movement, either out of a real interest in saving the planet or a desire to capitalize on the growing consumer demand for greener ways. For example, Wal-Mart anticipates savings to the tune of billions of dollars by reducing packaging across the supply chain and Wells Fargo issues carbon credits to offset its customers' credit card purchases. Very few consumers, who have realized the importance of going green, have been practicing it. For many, the perception about the idea is vague. Many organizations are actively trying to induce a paradigm shift in their green marketing strategies to enable them to reach the consumer. Has their attempt in this endeavour yielded results? The study is aimed at exploring the answers to these questions. Purpose and Scope of the Study This study is an attempt to understand the attitude consumers have towards green consumerism particularly with reference to their purchase and consumption patterns and give suitable suggestions based on the findings to enable them to be more environments’ friendly. This Study also is an attempt to explore the problems faced by consumers in adopting green consumerism and reach out to them for solution. This concept is gaining more importance...

...Summary: Drexler’s BBQ is a family restaurant located in the impoverished Third Ward of Houston, TX. There are more than a thousand BBQ establishments in the Houston area alone. Some of these are large chain restaurants competing with small neighborhood businesses. Drexler’s has been in the area since the late 1940s and appears to be currently serving customers. It began as a small establishment from a great-uncle but due to cramped quarters relocated to a 13,000 square foot location in 2003. The menu features unique family recipes that have been passed down generation after generation. The store only has two to three employees during most of the year with additional one or two part time employees when the nephews are out of school for the summer. The values and mission of the BBQ restaurant have been passed down from generation and can be seen by the satisfaction of the employees and the dining atmosphere. The owners take pride in caring for their employees and insuring that patrons are welcomed with a smile and joyful demeanor. The company’s culture, community interaction, and customer base has been honed over decades of consistent quality service. The family also gives back to the surrounding African-American community by sponsoring a softball team and the local Boy Scout troop. The Third Ward is an economically challenged area and the Drexler’s feel they have an obligation to thank the community for their loyalty and patronage by reaching out to the community. The case...

...spilling hundreds of tons of crude oil into the ocean and killing sea life all around. The frequency with which these environmental disasters fill Turkish news broadcasts -- along with the obvious insensitivity of the authorities towards both environment and health issues -- prompted me to learn about ways to prevent these types of disasters. At the age of fifteen, I decided to focus my studies on environmental sciences in order to equip myself with the technical tools I would need to make a real contribution. After earning a master's degree in environmental sciences, I completed a professional international management certificate program in order to gain a management perspective of the field. I then realized that, in order to effectively combine my technical knowledge and management skills, I needed to accumulate real-world experience. Specifically, working at a large company would allow me to develop insight into various industries, as well as an overarching vision of the international business arena. I have now worked for nearly two years in the energy and environment group of Koc Holding, Turkey's first and biggest diversified conglomerate.

...opportunities for employees, developing markets for suppliers, and paying taxes to governments and returns to shareholders and other claimants on the rents generated by the corporation. For those with a narrow conception of CSR, the corporation has little, if any, obligation to the society other than the creation of economic rents that can accrue to the stakeholders with recognized rights to those rents. For those with an expansive view of CSR, the corporation should serve as an instrument of public policy by other means. For those seeking a compromise, CSR is something in between these two extremes. The discourse between the two extremes has, to some extent, taken on the characteristic of a religious debate, since little fact or science has been brought to bear that would reveal what the costs and benefits of CSR truly are. This has arisen not simply because many of those involved in the debate have a vested interest in the outcome and “From the Editors” is a new section that will run intermittently in an effort to provide our editorial team, including our Editorial Board members, an opportunity to comment on timely topics.

...Established in 1908, General Motors (GM), with its headquarters based in Detroit, Michigan was one of the world's largest automakers in the world. Their business operate in 140 countries with an employment of 204000 people, and together with their strategic allies, they produce cars and trucks in 34 countries (General Motors, 2010). However, in June 2009, GM filed for bankruptcy protection and reach out to U.S government for financial assistance (Taylor III, 2009). In this essay, a look will be taken at the nature of GM’s organizational structure such as its organizational design and how GM’s operation is conceptualized, as well as its existence as an organization. How GM and the environment affect each other will be discussed too. GM was born out as a conglomerate of firms (Bordenave & Lung 2003). From a multinational organization with a headquarter set in Detroit and unified products, design and manufacturing resources throughout its field of business, GM was quick in moving itself out to become a global organization whereby they valued diversity and flexibility to match with the changing pattern of opportunities and threats posed in the industry sector. They actually diverged from Ford’s monolithic structure, gained own corporate stability and shortly after, challenge Ford’s hegemony internally and globally (Bordenave & Lung 2003). A division of labour is set up, whereby production has been divided into different skills and tasks spread across countries (Hatch & Cunliffe...
