...Career in Focus: Staying on Her Toes Illustration by: Shutterstock. Dr. Kathleen Bower combines a love of movement with a passion for PT. By Christine Van Dusen October 2015 It was the season of “The Nutcracker” and the teenaged ballerina was dancing in pointe shoes for almost as many hours as she was awake. Every day she’d squeeze her battered feet into a pair of pale pink slippers, tie their silky ribbons around her slim ankles, then rise up on her toes and spin through a graceful series of pirouettes. After the curtain came down on the final show, she couldn’t point her feet or raise up en pointe; her ankles wouldn’t allow it. Her foot felt like it was on backward. This is when Dr. Kathleen Bower ’11 was first introduced to the world of physical therapy— and was set on the path to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) graduate who would combine her love of movement with a passion for injury prevention. Dance injuries have been on the rise for more than a decade, with a 37% increase reported from 1991 to 2007 in a study by the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Feet are crunched, strained, sprained. Ankles are twisted, elbows are bumped and bruised, and arms are broken during falls. Dancers risk losing mobility with every jeté. When dancing en pointe, the average pressure on the shoe’s toe box is about 220 pounds per square inch. Some of the associated injuries can be career-ending. Bower was fortunate, though...

What you feel he means by the above quote? Accounting is the language of business, without it, business functionality would be difficult to undertake. If we break it down, accountancy is needed in the following ways: 1. Financial Accounting: this comprises of information that companies avail to the general public. As a result of these statements being published, companies can gain potential investors.

...virtually impossible to sail from port to port in a straight path. Knowledge of the water and wind currents made sailing more predictable. Not only European exploration is influenced by this but trade by allowing merchants navigate towards for cargos of goods like spices, textiles, silks and gold. Vasco d Gama applied his knowledge on what he know and what to expect on the waters of the the coast of East and West Africa as he navigates around the Cape of Good Hope towards the indies. Navigational technology and innovations also made sailing less risky and more predictable. Tools such as the flying compass - a magnetic needle on a paper disk or fly invented in China -, astrolabes - a device that allowed sailors measure the altitude of polestar in the sky and calculate the latitude -, sextant - an instrument with a graduated arc and sight mechanism for measuring angular distance between objects and altitudes -, and quadrants - an instrument for angular measurements of altitudes- helped European seafarers navigate towards distant lands like the New World. Before the Europeans learned how to mark charts with degrees of latitude, they relied on compass, experience and instincts. As Europeans of the fifteenth- and sixteenth- century learn how to mark charts and maps and identify the relationships between landmasses through latitudes and longitudes and the movements of water and wind currents they began having a better sense of knowledge of what to expect ahead of their travels....

...What is business? An organization or economic system where goods and services are exchanged for one another or for money. Every business requires some form of investment and enough customers to whom its output can be sold on a consistent basis in order to make a profit. The purpose of business? The purpose of a business is to offer value (through products and/or services) to customers, who pay for the value with cash or equivalents. The aim of businesses is to make profit and to grow. There are 3 business sectors in the UK, these are Private, Public and Voluntary sectors. Types of businesses in UK? The private sector has different categories which are sole traders, partnerships, companies and franchises. A sole trader is a type of business entity that is owned and run by one individual and in which there is no legal distinction between the owner and the business. Being a sole trader is considered the simplest way to run a business as it does not involve paying any registration fees. You must register as self-employed, keeping records and accounts is straightforward, and you get to keep all the profits. The difference is that you are personally liable for any debts that your business runs up, which can make this a risky option for businesses that need a lot of investment. Examples of sole traders are plumbers, electricians etc. These can even be small web based businesses or home based business. Sources of Advantages *The firms are usually small, and easy to set...

...A compound word is made when two words are joined to form a new word. Definition In English, words, particularly adjectives and nouns, are combined into compound structures in a variety of ways. And once they are formed, they sometimes metamorphose over time. A common pattern is that two words — fire fly, say — will be joined by a hyphen for a time — fire-fly — and then be joined into one word — firefly. In this respect, a language like German, in which words are happily and immediately linked one to the other, might seem to have an advantage. There is only one sure way to know how to spell compounds in English: use an authoritative dictionary. There are three forms of compound words: the closed form, in which the words are melded together, such as firefly, secondhand, softball, childlike, crosstown, redhead, keyboard, makeup, notebook; the hyphenated form, such as daughter-in-law, master-at-arms, over-the-counter, six-pack, six-year-old, mass-produced; and the open form, such as post office, real estate, middle class, full moon, half sister, attorney general. How a word modified by an adjective — "a little school," "the yellow butter" — is different from a compound word — " a high school," "thepeanut butter" — is a nice and philosophical question. It clearly has something to do with the degree to which the preceding word changes the essential character of the noun, the degree to which the modifier and the noun are inseparable. If you were diagramming a sentence with a...

Introduction To win in manufacturing, not only do you need the ability to innovate, but you must also execute upon that innovation and deliver new product to market before your competitors do. That's true manufacturing agility, and it can't happen if your enterprise is burdened by isolated plant-based execution systems that lack coordination between headquarters, engineering and the shop floor. As Blanchard (2005) believes that innovation is the successful exploitation of new ideas. And companies’ success, for example...

...1. Summarize the major features of Texas Instruments’ management systems. To what extent, and how, are these system mutually reinforcing? In 1960, Texas Instruments’ (TI) revenue reached $232 million, which was $32 million over company’s president Pat Haggerty’s announced goal of $200 million. However, the industry was facing a recession at the time, and Patrick Haggerty knew that TI needed to develop a system that would help with innovation and growth of the company. In 1962, Duddy Harris was assigned to find such system, which resulted in development of the OST System: Objectives, Strategies and Tactics. Pat Haggert believed that Texas Instruments must be consumer product centered. Under his leadership TI has organized itself into six major business groups. Each group was subdivided into divisions, which in turn is further divided into product customer centers (PCC), or profit centers. Each Product Customer Center (PCC) manager had responsibilities to Create, Make and Market product in their respective area. The goal of PCC is to allow the business to have a close relationship with customers, and enable an entrepreneurial environment for TI’s middle level managers. The major drawback of Texas Instruments profit center’s decentralized matrix system is the lack of control by top management, possibility of friction and conflict of interest between organization units. With over 80 different PCCs within TI; business cohesion can be a major issue. In order to keep individual...

...[Chapter – 01] 1.0 Introduction: Every organization performs its task with the help of resources as men, machine, materials and money. Except manpower other resources are non-living but manpower is a live and generating resource. Manpower utilizes other resources and gives output. If manpower is not available then other resources are useless and cannot produce anything. Out of all the factors of production manpower has the highest priority and is the most significant factor of production and plays a pivotal role in areas of productivity and quality. In case, lack of attention to the other factors those are non-living may result in reduction of profitability to some extent. But ignoring the human resource can prove to be disastrous. In a country where human resource is abundant, it is a pity that they remain under-utilized. The people at work comprise a large number of individuals of different sex, age, socio-religious group and different educational or literacy standards. These individuals in the work place exhibit not only similar behavior patterns and characteristics to a certain degree but also they show much dissimilarity. Technology alone, however, cannot bring about desired change in economic performance of the country unless human potential is fully utilized for production. The management must therefore be aware not only organization but also employees and their needs. The human resource is critical and difficult to manage. It is because human behavior is highly unpredictable...

...Two Models of the Criminal Process HERBERT L. PACKER Source: Reprinted from The Limits of the Criminal Sanction by Herbert L. Packer, with the permission of the publishers, Stanford University Press. ( 1968 by Herbert L. Packer. In one of the most important contributions to systematic thought about the administration of criminal justice, Herbert Packer articulates the values supporting two models of the justice process. He notes the gulf existing between the "Due Process Model" of criminal administration, with its emphasis on the rights of the individual, and the "Crime Control Model," which sees the regulation of criminal conduct as the most important function of the judicial system. T wo models of the criminal process will let us perceive the normative antinomy at the heart of the criminal law. These models are not labeled Is and Ought, nor are they to be taken in that sense. Rather, they represent an attempt to abstract two separate value systems that compete for priority in the operation of the criminal process. Neither is presented as either corresponding to reality or representing the ideal to the exclusion of the other. The two models merely afford a convenient way to talk about the operation of a process whose day-to-day functioning involves a constant series of minute adjustments between the competing demands of two value systems and whose normative future likewise involves a series of resolutions of the tensions between competing claims. I call...
