...Name: Tutor: Course: Institution: Date: How to Lose Weight without Losing your Mind Introduction Over the years, people have spent a lot of time debating, discussing and sometimes battling over the pros and cons of virtually all diets products and programs available in our society. One of the critical issues has been to understand a diet with short term weight loss results without any serious health consequences. Research shows that virtually in a fort night, there is a new diet that comes up. Yet with all these debates people are not loosing weight. Not only are friends, relatives, and individuals driving themselves crazy, but they are exposing themselves into mind and body damages by consumption of these diets and pills. This paper gives the process and an analysis of how one can lose weight without losing their mind. Discover your Calorie Target The first step is to know the amount of calorie that one should be eating everyday in order to loose, gain, or maintain your weight. Research show that in order to loose one pound of fat then one have to deduct 3,5000 calories in the body. It is also true when one wishes to gain weight where an addition of 3500 calories gains one pound of fat. There are available online resources which can help one to know the amount of calories one should be eating everyday. Example is freedieting.com. After one has identified the amount of calories oe should consume, it is important then to commit. This where people lose their mind as...

...you do them wrong, there really isn't that much of a point to doing them at all. #2. Sets and reps Breaking your exercise routines into sets of repetitions will help you get more out of exercising than just trying to do as many as you can until you get tired. You should do sets of equal repetitions. Rest in between each set for about a minute, then continue on to the next set of reps. What this allows you do is to work your muscles in a more complete fashion than you otherwise would. #3. Weight and strength training A good way to help burn excess fat faster is through weight training. This works because by building more muscle, your body will require more energy to maintain your muscle mass. This means that as long as you don't also increase your calorie intake, your body will look elsewhere to get the calories that it needs. And that means that it will take the excess fat from you body and stomach area. So you should build muscle so as to raise your metabolism in order to lose weight and burn fat naturally. #4. Do your exercises slowly and with control Don't perform your stomach exercises quickly just to get through them. If you do each move slower and with full control you will achieve far better results. Even if doing them slower means that you have to do fewer reps, it will be far more useful to you than just rushing through them. #5. Don't overdo or under-do exercises Keep aware of how often you workout. If you try and do a heavy exercise routine every day of the...

...efficiency and economic viability of rearing African catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell 1822) fingerlings and juveniles A. Z. Aderolu*, B. M. Seriki, A. L. Apatira and C. U. Ajaegbo Aquaculture Nutrition Unit, Department of Marine Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka-Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria. Accepted 16 December, 2009 Feeding frequency effect on growth performance, feed utilization and economic viability of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings and juveniles were studied under natural photoperiods of 12/12 h light/dark cycle using a complete random design. Triplicate group of 10 fish with an initial mean weight of 8.5 ± 0.1 g and 34.3 ± 0.1 g respectively per tank (measuring 52 x 33.5 x 21 cm). A commercial feed (COPPENS) with crude protein of 42% and ether extract 12% was fed for 8 weeks over four feeding frequencies studied (once, twice, thrice and four times). Mean weight gain, relative growth rate and the specific growth rate were all significantly different (P < 0.05) across feeding levels except at thrice and four times feeding levels. The feed conversion ratio was lowest on three times a day feeding level both for the juvenile and fingerling (0.66 and 0.73, respectively). Although net profit value, in both juvenile and fingerling group are not significantly different, the investment cost analysis and the gross profit between fish fed thrice and four times are equally not significantly (P > 0.05) different. The results of this experiment, both at the juvenile...

...moon is 0 m/s2, and the acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 and on the moon its 1.6 m/s2,, we can determine the velocity on Earth. This value for the velocity will be the same on both the Earth and the moon therefore we have enough information to determine the displacement on the moon. The Olympic record for the women’s high jump on the Earth is 2.06 meters and the Olympic record for the women’s high jump on the moon would be 12.6175 meters. WEIGHTLIFTING When the Olympics are held on the moon and the weightlifting event takes place, the results on the moon will be better than the results on the Earth. This is due to the fact that even though the mass of the weights is going to be the same on both the Earth and the moon, the weights will be different. Because of the force of gravity will be less on the moon, the weights will seem lighter than they really are on the moon. Because we know the gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 and the women’s record for weightlifting is 97.5 kilograms, we can from there determine the amount of force the...

... These sports figures that I mentioned have been named as greats in their perspective sport and they did not get there by just talent alone. As I was growing up playing football, I wanted to be just like Walter Payton. The moves that he would perform on the football field week in and week out were amazing to my eyes and wanted to be just like him. Walter Payton had the total package; he had the moves, the strength and the speed to make defenders miss or he was able to just run right through a defender or outrun anyone trying to chase him down. He was just pure poetry on the football field. I was a good sized young football player up until the age of 13 when I stopped growing. I had the strength, because of doing push-ups and lifting weights, while my moves were also great because I practiced them every week. The only problem that I had left was becoming a faster back like Walter Payton. I have tried many different ways to get faster and faster, but nothing seemed to work the way that I would have liked it to work. My 40 yard dash time was steady at a 4.75sec. In order for me to be effective and use my speed as I got older I would need to get my 40 yard dash time down to a 4.5sec or lower. I have done exercise after exercise, I even signed up for Track and...

...Louise Mallard to achieve personal freedom—either she or her husband must die. Having no personal freedom, the only way Mrs. Mallard could express her lack of freedom through a physical illness. Someone can choose to die, in a moment, as an escape to freedom. Mrs. Mallard’s death was a result of her loss of the freedom she had, when she supposed Mr. Mallard dead. Upon hearing the news of her husband’s death, Mrs. Mallard lets out a brief cry. Then she quickly retreats to her room where time seems to slow. The choice of words used by Chopin “sank”, “pressed down”, “roomy armchair”, “haunted her body” pulls us to empathize with her life which sounds, heavy and burdensome, and it’s been this way for a long time. They weight is not the weight of her loss, it is the weight of her life. As, Mrs. Mallard sits in her chair, She views nature and life going on outside her window. She sees and experiences freedom, a contradiction to her life with Mr. Mallard She begins to realize that Tension grow as she is sitting in the chair and at the same time being pulled out of it; There is something coming towards her that she would have to fight off. However, she accepts this something, which is her new freedom from her marriage, the thing that was exhausting her life weighing her down. While, Mrs. Mallard would “weep again” when she saw her husband in his casket, the burden of her life with him was clear. She hints at his cruelty, his “powerful will bending hers with a blind persistence” ...

...AND RESULTS Diagram A Diagram B (Computation of the distance of F2) 48 cm = center T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.38m) = 0.37 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.19m) = 0.37 N-m Torque 1 and Torque 2 are equal. Therefore, we are mathematically correct in diagram B. Diagram C (Computation of the weight of meter stick) T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.15m) = 0.147 N-m or 0.15 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.12m) = 0.2352 N-m or 0.24 N-m Torque 1 and 2 are not equal in mathematical method. Therefore, there were errors in balancing the two loads. APPLICATIONS A. Explain the condition below 1. It is much easier to carry a weight in your hand when your arm is at your side than it is when your arm is stretching out in front of you. Use the concept of torque to explain this effect. * When your arm is stretching out in front of you, any weight force exerted on your hand is at right angle to the lever arm between your shoulder and hand and produces a large torque above your shoulder. On the other hand, when your arm is at your side, any weight force exerted on your hand is directed away from your shoulder and produces no torque above your shoulder. B. Analyze the following situations. Show a diagram of the torque in each problem. Box your final answer. 1. A 15-kg child and a 25-kg child at ends of a 4m seesaw pivoted at its center.

...limit it to just the total or average Perception score. This is called SERVPERF and is used when Expectations are likely to be all the same (typically high). Weights can be applied here as well. STEPS TO OBTAIN UNWEIGHTED SERVQUAL SCORE Step 1. Select a business the service quality of which you want to assess. Using the SERVQUAL instrument, first obtain the score for each of the 22 expectation questions. Next, obtain a core for each of the perception questions. Calculate the Gap Score each of the statements (Gap Score = Perception – Expectation). Step 2. Obtain an average Gap Score for each dimension by assessing the Gap Scores for each of the statements that constitute the dimension and dividing the sum by the number of statements making up the dimension. Step 3. In TABLE 1 transfer the average dimension SERVQUAL scores (for all five dimensions) from the SERVQUAL instrument. Sum up the scores and divide it by five to obtain the unweighted measure of service quality. STEPS TO OBTAIN THE WEIGHTED SERVQUAL SCORE Step 1. In Table 2 calculate the importance weights for each of the five dimensions constituting the SERVQUAL scale. (The instructions are provided along with the table). Step 2. In Table 3 enter the average SERVQUAL score for each dimension (from Table 1) and the importance weight for each dimension (from Table 2). Then...

...INTRODUCTION In this investigation, I intend to find out whether there is a relationship in height and weight in students, and how this relationship changes between girls and boys, with age. I have chosen to investigate the relationship between the height and the weight as I think that the height and the weight are the only two categories that will give a clear correlation. If I was to investigate the relationship of two other categories, like the eye colour and the IQ, I believe that however interesting and amusing the results would be, they would not provide too clear a relationship, or any conclusive information. The data provided gives information about 1183 girls and boys at Mayfield High School, who have been categorized into their year groups. These year groups begin with the students entering their teens, and end in their mid-teenage years. In order to be able to compare girls and boys in each year, I will represent the distribution of heights and weights for both sexes in each year in various forms. I plan to use stem and leaf plots, scatter graphs and box plots, and a wide range of calculated data, like the mean of the heights and weights, their interquartile range and their Body Mass Index. The data that will be represented will not be all the data provided, as if I were to do this, then I would be plotting 2366 datum points which would be ideal, however time does not allow for this number of points. So, instead...

...create the IFE matrix? The IFE matrix can be created using the following five steps: Key internal factors... Conduct internal audit and identify both strengths and weaknesses in all your business areas. It is suggested you identify 10 to 20 internal factors, but the more you can provide for the IFE matrix, the better. The number of factors has no effect on the range of total weighted scores (discussed below) because the weights always sum to 1.0, but it helps to diminish estimate errors resulting from subjective ratings. First, list strengths and then weaknesses. It is wise to be as specific and objective as possible. You can for example use percentages, ratios, and comparative numbers. Weights... Having identified strengths and weaknesses, the core of the IFE matrix, assign a weight that ranges from 0.00 to 1.00 to each factor. The weight assigned to a given factor indicates the relative importance of the factor. Zero means not important. One indicates very important. If you work with more than 10 factors in your IFE matrix, it can be easier to assign weights using the 0 to 100 scale instead of 0.00 to 1.00. Regardless of...
