...Item 1 To: Mary Wallace-Vice President From: Wage & Salary Division Re: Request for pay increase/promotion Susan Anthony sounds like she would be a good candidate for promotion. However, while Mrs. Anthony has the time in grade to be promoted, we require some more paperwork showing that she is proficient in the areas you have stated. Once we have received this paperwork we will be more than happy to endorse her for this promotion (Nkomo, Fottler, & McAfee, 2011). Additional Action: Follow up with Mary Wallace to make sure that the proper paperwork is delivered in order to promote Mrs. Anthony to Senior Assistant. Item 2 To: Kelly Actor From: Wage & Salary Division Re: Request for pay increase Mrs. Actor, while we value the years of loyal service you have provided the Mack Organization, we are unable to match the salary increase that you are seeking. The only increase that the company could consider giving you is a cost of living increase. If you send us your reviews, showing that you have received high review scores, we could then consider giving you a 3-5% cost of living increase based on the performance review ratings. Also sending us a letter of endorsement from your supervisor would be helpful in getting you this cost of living increase as well. Once again your continuous loyalty to this company is greatly valued, and appreciated, and we hope that you will consider this counter offer as long as all the paperwork is filled and meets the standard (Nkomo et...

...The film that I have been analysing is ‘Friends with Benefits’. Will Gluck directed the film and the producers were Martin Shafer, Liz Glotzer, Janet Zucker and Will Gluck. The impact of the director of this film is a good one because he has directed many rom coms such as ‘Easy A’, this could attract the target demographic because the film was very successful which means that they would want to watch films by the director. The total budget of the film was around $67,000,000, the opening weekend was $18,622,150, the total domestic gross was $55,802,754 and the worldwide gross was $150,421,779. This shows that the film did very good at the book office. Poster The advertisement would have been seen on billboards, bus stops, on the buses, train stations, cinema. The impact on the target demographic could be that they want to see the film because it is interesting and also you can put the poster anywhere so they don’t have to go and search for it themselves. On the poster there was a release date to inform when they can go see the film. I think that the mis-en –scene was very modern and simple for example the background colour is mainly white which connotes peace and modern and the target audience is modern, this is good because it would not be difficult to understand it. It also uses things that the target demographic can understand and relate with e.g. the masthead is white and blue which connotes fresh and modern also FWB is highlighted in blue which might be linked to the...

...Q. What underlying conditions must be present before a company can make a strong commitment to a market? Several conditions and scopes must be taken under consideration before any company can commit to a market. Several strategies and options are market scope, geographic consideration, market entry, market commitment and market dilution. Market scope is the focus on the coverage of the market. If a company should serve a total market by selling different products to different parts in the market and this requires the employment of different combinations of price, promotions and distribution strategies , it also needs a strong financial position and commitment to embrace entire market. Another option is single-market strategy which concentrates on a single segment and requires the company to avoid competition with established firms and aim at the segment that is ignored or served inadequately and meet its needs. A last type is serving different parts of the market and this leads to dividing the risk on the different segments, this requires the company to avoid confrontation and competition with companies serving the entire market. The market scope strategy returns higher sales, market share, profit and growth increase. Market geography strategy is defining the area that must be chosen for a company to concentrate its operations in. It has four different territories: * Local: It concentrates on the neighborhood and vicinity and requires good reputation and good hold...

...The Department of Rehabilitation Sciences of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the Hong Kong Physiotherapy Association have jointly conducted a study on the health effects of using smartphones and portable electronic devices among Hong Kong people. Results showed that, out of the 1,049 people surveyed, 70% of adults and 30% of children and adolescents have reported musculoskeletal symptoms in different parts of the body in relation to the use of electronic devices. In recent years, various kinds of consumer electronics have become increasingly popular in Hong Kong. It is not surprising that the sales of smartphones in Hong Kong are among the highest in the world and the habits of using electronic devices are changing rapidly. Smartphones have become an indispensable communication tool in our everyday life and many people keep their phones turned on around the clock. In addition, people are obsessed with playing electronic games which is a common phenomenon in public places such as on buses and MTR, and this is widely known as "bow head tribe." Spanned over three years, the joint study involving both adults and school children aimed at examining their time spent on using various IT products, the tasks performed and postures adopted in their daily use.

...couldn’t explain what was happening to me. And in that moment I felt I was going to die, because the situation was unusual,” said Martha peters, age 20, student of INTI College, Malaysia. Fitness has been known to allow the heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system to supple fuel and oxygen to the muscles that enables long sustained exercise for the body to be active and to be in good shape. A fit person can repeatedly make movements for a long period of time without undue fatigue, exerting force, such as lifting or controlling one’s own body weight and move the joints through a full range of motion in work and in play. The ability of the body to function or work effectively and efficiently, enjoy leisure time, meet emergency situations, be healthy, and resist hypokinetic diseases, is a state of being fit. Hypokinetic diseases or conditions are diseases such as heart disease, low back pain, adult-onset diabetes, and obesity which is associated as a result of lack of physical activity or too little regular exercise required by the body for its maintenance and active functioning. Keeping fit could come in different ways; it can be the amount of exercises one indulges in, eating healthy and engaging in activities that are of advantage health wise. While one may prefer going on diet and taking some supplements to help them build up their muscles or loss some weight as a way of keeping fit, others prefer being natural “100 percent natural fitness seems to be the best for me and it has...

...According to the American Physical Therapy Association, physical therapists are licensed health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and/or perform functional activities in their daily lives.

...Fitness Components Fitness components are the building blocks of exercise and physical activity they are the qualities that athletes must develop to prepare physically for competition.Sports training programs are designed to build fitness components into appropriate proportions to match each specific sporting activity. Body composition is the distribution of muscle and fat in the body, its measurement is important in sports and health. Excess body fat may lead to obesity and increases the risk of getting many diseases. In sports if someone has excess fat it can lead to poor performance as it does not contribute to muscular force production, and it is extra weight that the body needs more energy to move about Body composition is often described as a two compartment system; lean body weight and fat weight. The fat weight is then expressed as a percentage of total body weight, where percent body fat = (fat weight / total body weight) x 100. Taking skinfold measurements is a common method for determining body fat composition. Accurate measurement technique is important. Here is the standard technique that is used. You should read this information in conjunction with the description of each of the standard measurement sites. * equipment: skinfold calipers, tape measure * procedure: Estimation of body fat by skinfold thickness measurement. Measurement can use from 3 to 9 different standard anatomical sites around the body. The right side is usually only measured (for consistency)...

We tend to become lazy stressed and depressed which can lead to negative impact on both our work and home life. There are studies that show working to much can lead to depression, stress and unhappy employees. Employers need to keep an eye on its employees and come up with a way to help reduce the depression, stress and turning unhappy employees into happy ones.

...a large and nationwide commercial operator of fitness centers in the Unite States. But with the increasingly fierce market competition and the internal management problems such as poor accounting standards, the stock price of the company collapsed. Some shareholders had lost faith in the company. A major shareholder of the company was urging the CEO to sell the company. So the company faced two alternatives, one alternative was to sell the company to meet the demand of shareholders; the other alternative was to strengthen its internal control system to remedy the management fault. In this way to restore the stock price, restore the confidence of shareholders, and enable the company to keep a major player in the health club industry. Exercise gyms had a long history in the Unite States which can be dating back to 150 years ago. By 2004, the revenue of the U.S. health club was about $14.2 billion.

...INFREQUENCY OF EXERCISE Infrequency of Exercise in Americans and its Potential Dangers Elecia Black MAT 540: Statistical Concepts for Research Instructor Charles Edeki October 7, 2013 Introduction The issue that was selected for this paper is the lack of exercise among Americans and the potential dangers that lack of exercise lead to. This issue was selected because lack of exercise is putting peoples’ health at risk as a nation. According to research studies, Americans do not exercise as often as they should. Reasons such as work, children, not having access to exercise facilities, and etc. have been given as to why this lack of exercise has occurred. However, many people have come to the conclusion that they do not exercise because they feel as if they do not have a reason to. And for this very reason, the American people are jeopardizing their health. This infrequency of exercise often leads to potential dangers such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer to name a few. But, research shows that with more frequent exercise, these potential dangers can be reduced and promote a healthier America. Statement of the Problem According to a study done by the US Department of Health and Human Services, regular physical activity reduces the risk of premature death and disability from a variety of conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer. Some people are unaware of the fact that lack of exercise will bring about...
