... and did yard work. I haven’t been on the motorcycle all summer due to a prior surgery, my husband and I him, hawed most the morning about taking the bike out for one last ride and check out the tearing down of the old American Hoist building, after much thought, we decided to go. In a dazed blurry state I could hear and see red/blue flashing lights, yellow tape, and the hurried panic voices of people saying “tape that section off”, “ambulance is on its way”, “stop her from moving”, “there’s another victim over there”, “sir sit down don’t move”. Then in a flash it seemed we were in the ER and my children standing around me crying and holding my hand as the nurses and doctors prep me for surgery. I tried several times to ask about my husband, finally I was able to blurt it out, as well as to comfort my children, and assure them I was going to be ok as they told me “dad is in the other room and is ok, he is concerned about you” “he too is being prepped for surgery”. The hospital staff would not let us see each other. Then another flash, I was in a hallway and there was my husband holding up his arm, it looked like a stair case as he smiled and told me he loved me and would see me really soon… After two days of hospitalization my husband checked himself out to sit by my side. My injuries were severe. My 4th and 5th vertebra were crushed, severe nerve ending damage, fused 3 through 7 and my pelvis was broken and cracked in several places. Doctors were not sure of my...

...If you’re sitting down, don’t sit still, new research suggests According to the text as well as class lectures and notes there are many negative health consequences for having a sedentary lifestyle. Consequences include the increased likelihood of developing heart diseases, obesity, osteoporosis as well as having high blood pressure which all links itself towards an increased mortality rate. It has also been noted that those who live sedentary lifestyles are more likely to feel anxiety and have depression like symptoms. The study found that those who consider themselves as “moderately” to “very fidgety” do not have a higher risk of mortality compared to women who are more active. The article also compares fidgeting with breaks in sitting time which are known to improve physical health benchmarks such as one’s BMI score and the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar. Fidgeting in society generally has negative associations. People who fidget a lot are often viewed as rude or someone who lacks concentration and focus. Unfortunately, fidgeting can be a distraction to those around you, either by the creation of noise or simply from the small movements which can catch the eyes of others. I have often been asked to stop fidgeting when I am studying with friends which I oblige. Have they known that fidgeting may be beneficial to one’s health perhaps they would start fidgeting themselves. I hope that one day it will be more socially acceptable to fidget and that everyone will...

...disgruntled elected officials or candidates for office, experts cut out of the policy in process, or cultural figures who can bring visibility…” (2014). this shows that by the grass roots movement it is the organizations that provide a collective action. Although it is the people in the grassroots that want change it works upwards, where many other public figures can get involved in order to help the movement. By bringing in public figures the influence and credibility of the movement can become greater. In the case of the Flint Sit-down the UAW’s grass roots had grown to reach the support of the Mayor of Michigan and President of the United States. While the governor of Michigan Frank Murphy, who would later become Attorney General, and Associate of the United States Supreme Court was in support of the UAW he stated, “The Military will never be used against you. I’d leave my office first” (Fine 2013). This shows that although Murphy had the power to end the Flint Sit-down strike his influence by the protest was much greater. Also it shows how by having his support it helped keep the movement going. Moreover, as Meyer describes, many of the political figures that get involved can be in order to get elected (Meyer 2014). In this case since Murphy was involved on the people’s side he explains, “I am not a representative for the G.M. or for the labor group but for the people” (Fine 2013). This shows how by the governor playing a major role in the rights of the people and not choosing sides...

During this strike, many lives who were apart of the “United Automobile Workers (UAW) had changed. It was for the good and bad. During the 1930’s, working conditions were unfair and pay was horrible. Employees, wanted to be treated fair, on how well they worked. Therefor around 1930-34, they were broken up by the company and the flint police. Things were following apart, just because workers, weren’t getting the respect they deserved. However, in 1935, Congress passed the “Wagner Act,” which allowed strikes to be legal. This meant, employees could do what they had been wanting to do for years, and not get in as much trouble as they could have....

...Case 1 Slavica Ristoska 6/3/15 1. How does Darden segment and target the sit-down dining market? Use the full spectrum of segmentation variables in your response. Answer: Psychographic Segmentation is represented by Olive Garden’s plan to build a dining experience around the concept of a fabled Italian family. Olive Garden’s marketing team learned that a primary customer insight shows that customers are as interested in emotional nourishment as they are in physical nourishment. Styling the restaurant as an Italian farmhouse, commercials that invite you to be “part of the family”, and training at their Culinary Institute in Tuscany has shaped a genuine Italian menu. Geographic Segmentation is something that Darden exhibits in the Longhorn chain. Longhorn Restaurants are currently only found in the eastern half of the US. This offers an opportunity for extensive expansion going forward. Demographic Segmentation is exemplified by Red Lobster’s efforts to fill the gap between fast-food seafood and upscale white-tablecloth restaurants. Behavioral Segmentation is realized in usage rates. Darden, along with all other sit-down restaurants, are seeing a decline in the frequency that diners are eating out at sit-down meals. This is a result of economic decline and consumers becoming more particular with how they chose to use their limited finance resources. ...

He prefers to sit in the living room in front of the tv or in front of the computer in the computer room and eat his dinner while either watching tv or surfing the net. It makes me feel like he is sending us a message that he is too good to sit down and eat with us. He will make exceptions for holiday meals or birthday meals. I have insisted that he sit down and eat with us and told him how it makes me feel, but he tells me that most families don't eat together anymore.

...The plaintiff failed to prove this, and instead the court adopted Brian’s version of the events. His version of events was that he moved the chair a few feet sideways to sit in. Upon realizing that Ms. Garrett was going to sit down, he attempted to move the chair back under her but was unable to. The plaintiff further attempted to argue that if Brian knew Ms. Garret would try to sit there with substantial certainty, his actions would be have constituted a battery. The absence of intent to purposefully injure was not enough to absolve him from liability for Ms. Garratt’s injuries. The court focused on a number of different issues, in order to come to a...

...When training a dog to sit, classical conditioning does not serve as the only way to train a dog to sit, but it usually is the easiest. Humans enjoy food, much like a dog does so if we were to be trained to type one-hundred words and then we’d get a treat that we enjoy, that would be a good example. Now if we were training a dog to sit, we would show them what the word sit means. You would use the word sit and physically show the dog how to sit, maybe by pushing the dog’s backside down on the ground and then give them a treat. We would then expect them to sit when commanded to sit, but what motivates them to sit down when commanded? Classical conditioning is important because when a treat is presented while they are being told to sit, they have something to work for. If we were to ring a bell just before we gave them the treat, they would likely be conditioned to expect a treat when the bell is rang. When using classical conditioning to train a dog, the command of sit won’t serve any purpose unless it is followed by a treat or a reward of some sort. The dog would then think about food every time the trainer would use the word “sit” and that in a nutshell is how to use classical conditioning to train a dog. Depending on whether it is a positive or negative reward, the dog will associate the command with food or punishment. References Cattet, Ph.D, J. (2014). Smart Animal Training System.

...4/26/12 Fast food Can you imagine a kind of fast food place that is a cross between a sit down place and a normal fast food place? You don't even have to get out of your car. It looks like fast food, smells like fast food, and tastes like fast food. The only thing that is different is that you never have to get out of your car. Thats because they wait on you, just like a sit down place. Fast food in the future will offer better food, window side service, and a more diverse menu. This is how it works, when you drive in, they take your order using a drive through speaker. Then, you wait a few moments and then your order is at your window. Once the food is ready, waiters on roller skates will bring it right to your car. If you need anything, you press the call button an a a waiter appears at your window. This is a superior way to serve customer's because it's faster and offers better service. Second, food quality at a sit down restaurant is much higher, but it is often too expensive. This modern fast food restaurant would be a great cross between a sit down place and a fast food joint. You have the service of a sit down place,but with fast yummy food. The food would be a step above regular fast food. Better quality burgers, fries, etc. Last, this place would be flexible, great if you are in a hurry. Just drive up, order and drive away. Also, there is no line to wait in, you can take all the time in the word to decide what you are going to order...

...The room was very inviting. There were many different boards up. The boards were different from what I have seen before. They were all white with no borders. The teacher explained to me that all the rooms at the center were the same. The boards had to be uniform so the rooms don’t become too over stimulating. Both teachers seemed very nice and I could tell the children loved them. By the time I was ready to start my observation, most of the diaper changes had been done. I asked the teacher where I should sit so I wouldn’t be in the way. I sat in the back of the classroom and started to watch the kids. When my observation was over I told the teachers thank you and I walked out. The director met me again and made sure I had everything I needed and welcomed me back anytime I wanted.
