...Bottled Water Market Penetration Name Institution Bottled Water Market Penetration Introduction The demand for bottles water has grown tremendously owing to its increased popularity. The industry has been growing at an average rate of 20% per year (Gleick, 2010, p. 15). Demand has grown over 500% in the last decade and a half. In the United States there is a demand of 79 liters of bottles water per person in a year, which has resulted in the sale of up to 30 billion in the sale of the product (Gleick, 2010, p. 17). This has been driven by increased population and the decreased quality of water supplies from the public mains. People have feared for their health and thus have opted for bottles water that is more purified and fresh. The consumption of bottled water in the United States fell in 2008 to 30 billion bottles compared to 2007 (Clarke et al, 2009, p. 28). Bottles water faces stiff competition from other beverages such as sodas. It is thus important that companies to reposition the product in order to get back to the positive growth trend. Repositioned Target Market The market for bottled water is quite large as water is a commodity that is essential to life. Bottled water may face competition from soft drinks and supplies from local authorities. Manufacturers of the product (bottled water) have used various methods in segmenting the market and obtaining potential targets. For instance, coca cola the manufacturer of Dasani, and Nestle have targeted...

...adulthood (American Heart Association [AHA], 2006c; Jones, Willis, & Uzark, 2006). One of the most common CHDs is tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), occurring in 9% to 14% of the children born with a CHD and approximately 5 out of every 10,000 births (AHA, 2006a, b; National Heart Lung and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2007). The need for primary care providers to manage the health of adolescents with TOF has developed as the population and lifespan of children born with TOF has increased. One of the most important roles of a primary care provider is to educate adolescents and their families to facilitate the achievement and maintenance of optimal health. This includes counseling adolescents, especially those living with TOF, of the importance of regular exercise and participation in sport activities as necessary factors for their physical, emotional, and social growth and development (Bar-Or & Rowland, 2004). Physical activity is also essential for the prevention of long-term cardiovascular and obesity-related health problems (AHA, 2006d). Primary care providers cannot assume the cardiologist has effectively provided this education. Unfortunately, the literature indicates adolescents with TOF do not feel well informed regarding their cardiac condition, their physical activity allowances, or possible physical limitations (Birks, Sloper, Lewin, & Parsons, 2006; Canobbio, 2001; Cheuk, Wong, Choi, Chau, & Cheung, 2004; Falk et...

...on your puzzle proficiency? INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It has been found that there may be a correlation between physical activity and puzzle proficiency. Exercise increases circulation which can have large effects on learning ability. A study published in 2007 by the Medical College of Georgia discovered that after 15 weeks of regular exercise, test scores improved significantly over pre-trial results. One explanation for this could be due to the impact that exercise has on the brain. Study results published in “Health Psychology” in 2011, found patterns of brain activity when exercising in the pre-frontal cortex, which is responsible for functions such as problem-solving and complex thoughts. I have come to a stage in my schooling where I don't have compulsory P.E lessons anymore and I was questioning whether I should continue with doing after-school sport, and whether it would actually be improving my academic learning ability. Therefore I am proposing this experiment to gain knowledge on whether exercise has an effect on your puzzle proficiency. HYPOTHESIS: It is expected that when ones heart rate increases from physical activity, their puzzle proficiency should also increase. This is because of increased blood flow and brain activity in areas of memory and problem solving causing exercise...

...Running head: RESEARCH CRITIQUE Research Critique of “Physical Education Teaching Methods” Jerome T. Gardner Columbia Southern University March 2011 Research Critique of “Physical Education Teaching Methods” Introduction The introduction of this article does give you a sense of importance of the problem in physical education. The area being talked about in this article is An instructional model is a "plan or pattern that can be used to shape curriculums (long-term courses of studies), to design instructional materials, and to guide instruction in the classroom or other settings" (Joyce & Weil, 1980, p. 1). The authors then go on about to say improvement in physical education to be an educational outcome and do not see the need to include additional outcomes. The absolute priority clearly requires applicants to propose projects that address physical education. More specifically, the absolute priority requires every applicant to develop, expand, or improve its physical education program and address its State's physical education standards. Statement of the problem The purpose of this study “is to analyze and evaluate and give insightful, critical, and logical to the points the authors made”. While the authors do list a purpose for the study they do not have a well-defined problem statement. They do say that a message from the school district, but they do not say how it would be beneficial. Review of Literature The literature review that was done by the authors...

...Almost every field today has been affected by technology. Many innovations in the fields of sports have happened because technology has made them possible. In the house or at work we are constantly bombarded with technology to the extent that today we don’t give it a second thought, it is part and parcel of life. Sports equipment – a relatively young offshoot of technology seems to be growing leaps and bounds. Sports technology has changed the face of sports as we knew it. The application of technology in sport facility design has yielded real changes in terms of athlete use, spectator comfort and usable life span. Technology has meant that we can now calculate the speed of an athlete to fractions of a second. It has meant that an athlete can now win or lose despite a photo finish. Cameras capturing images to the second have made it possible to replay every action on the field to enable correct decisions. It has meant that games are now fairer. The element of chance and luck has been almost removed. Sports equipment refers to a large amount of equipment which is used in sports. Starting with the bats, and balls, and rackets to the shoes and socks and glasses there are a lot of things that come under the umbrella of Sports equipments. About 25 years ago tennis rackets were made from wood, with ash, maple etc. leading the way. Later in the sixties metal frames were introduced. Today composite rackets are the rage because of the efficiency they offer in...

...Physical education is very important to me because. Physical education can give students an opportunity to take a break from academic study, get some fresh air and clear their head. If they've been listening to teachers, and reading and writing for hours at a time exercise can help wake them up a bit and make them feel more alert so that when they go back to class they are able to concentrate better and take more information in. It is all well and good for teachers to concentrate on cramming as many 'important' lessons into the timetable as possible, but doing so won't necessarily mean students learn more, particularly if they end up getting distracted due to a short attention span. Even if children do not want to do the exercise just walking around talking to friends helps them relax and makes them better students for the rest of classes. 2. You have been invited to speak to the PTO in your community on the topic”The role of physical education in the community”prepared a speech that described the role of physical education and present it to your class. With obesity at an all time high, schools and communities are encouraging students to take part in activities that require physical involvement, be it in the form of exercise or sports. Some rec centers and schools even have their own fitness centers to give students and member of the community a chance to enroll in their active programs.

...Introduction Human resource management, with accord to Mondy (2005:5) defines that "staffing, human resource development, compensation and benefits, safety and health, and employee and labor relations" are five functional areas to determine the effectiveness and performance of an institution. With regard to the writer's approach, this paper is going to merely focus on two perspectives: staffing and human resource development in order to examine the data collected from the government, for instance, Hong Kong Police Force. The paper will, then, discuss and criticize the findings by means of job analysis, job description/specification, recruitment, selection, interviewing and performance appraisal. Data analysis and Discussion Hong Kong Police Force is one of the public organizations, which is to maintain law and order to reduce the incidence of crime in Hong Kong. There are several departments in Hong Kong Police Force, which work as a whole with the same above-mentioned mission. The data will be discussed in the following sections: -Job analysis methods and Job description/specification - Regarding Mondy's job analysis methods, Hong Kong Police Force makes use of a combination of methods (see appendix 1-3) to carry out questionnaires, observation and interviews. Questionnaires are structured as written examination (see appendix 1-3) so as to test the language competence of the candidates. In order to observe physical and mental performance, observation...

...Case Studies #1: Mr. MacPherson Mr. MacPherson came into the ER with burns on both of his arms and hands and on his face as the result of a grease fire in his kitchen. He complained of severe pain. His burns showed signs of blistering, swelling and fluid loss. According to the “rule of nines” (Thibodeau & Patton, 2010), it appears this patient has suffered burns over approximately 14% of his body surface (4.5% for each arm and 4.5% face for a total of 13.5%). These would be classified as second-degree burns (“Types of burns”, 2012) which involve the first two layers of skin and show signs of pain and blistering of which Mr. MacPherson complained. As a note of comparison, first-degree burns involve the top layer of skin, such as in sun-burn, and show signs of reddening, painful to touch, and mild swelling. Third-degree burns penetrate the entire thickness of skin and permanently destroy tissue layers, resulting in skin that is dry and leathery, appearing charred or having patches which appear white, brown, or black. Remarkably third-degree burns are often painless, although pain may be caused by patches of first- and second-degree burns which often surround third-degree burns (“Types of burns”, 2012).
