Obesity Essay

Overweight and obesity is on the increase in both adults and children. TheForesight: Tackling Obesities: Future Choices – Project Report(Government Office for Science, 2007) suggests that by 2050, 50% of the UK’s population will be obese. This is a major cause for concern as obesity can lead to coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer and complications in pregnancy as well as many other well documented health complications (Ewles, 2005). Not only is obesity and poor nutrition likely to increase the cost to the NHS from ? 2billion per year to ? 5billion per year in 2025 but the social implications are huge. By reducing premature deaths people, on average would enjoy and extra 1. 3 – 2. 5 million years of life and 2. 8 million years of illness and disability-free life (DoH, 2010). However, in contrast, the Health Survey for England (National Heart Forum, 2009) would suggest that although obesity is still a problem, the prevalence of obese children aged 2-11 years is, in fact, declining: By simply incorporating the recent Health Survey for England (HSE) data into the Heart Forum model, it is shown that for children of both sexes, aged 2 to 11, the predicted prevalence of overweight and obese in 2020 drop from their Foresight predicted values of 28% overweight and 16% obese to 22% overweight and 12% obese. Since the review of obesity predictions in 2005ii, the 2006 data showed a small reduction in obesity levels a nd the 2007 data have tended to confirm this decrease. † This would indicate, that some, if not all of the health promotion strategies are beginning to take effect. This essay will be critically examining the current early interventions, health promotion practices and Government policies aimed at reducing health inequalities with regards to improving nutrition and reducing obesity. All of the interventions discussed in this essay utilise the Public Health ‘Upstream Approach’ whereby the problems caused by disease and disability are addressed through prevention rather than treatment (Bournhonesque and Mosbaek, 2002). I have, therefore, not discussed weight-management clinics which aim to treat overweight and obesity – a ‘Downstream Approach’ which cannot be considered an early intervention. The Black Report (DHSS, 1980), the Acheson Report (DoH, 1998) and the more recent Marmot Review (DoH, 2010) all identify that there are great differences between health behaviours and outcomes across a socio-economic gradient – widely known as health inequalities. In simple terms, the more money you have, the better educated you are and the better your housing and social environment are (including ethnicity) the better decisions regarding your health you will make andthe healthier you and your lifestyle will be. The Determinants of Health and Wellbeing in Human Habitation model (Barton and Grant, 2006) demonstrates clearly the relationship between people and other external factors that contribute to health and wellbeing and, as stated by WHO, 2011: â€Å"The social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities. † For example, with regards to nutrition and obesity, the National Childhood Measurement Programme (2009) shows that in England approx. 23% of people in the most deprived quintile are obese but only approx. 13% of people in the least deprived quintile are obese. It is also shown that whilst different areas of England are more obese than others (London having the highest figures and the South West having the lowest) the general trend remains the same. Despite Government initiatives like ‘Change4Life’ (DoH, 2011) which discusses portion sizes, healthy snack options and makes recommendations such as eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day statistics suggest that there has been limited success. The House of Commons report, Health Inequalities (2009) showed that 35% of people of professional and managerial occupations will consume five pieces of fruit and vegetables per day but hat only 21% of people who are unemployed or in part-time employment will consume the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables. The Low Income Diet and NutritionSurvey (Nelson et al/Food Standards Agency, 2007) showed that 66% of boys will eat less than two portions of fruit and vegetables per day and in comparison 56% of girls will eat less fruit and vegetables per day. It also showed that the consumption of saturated fat differs between age and gender – men consuming 30. 4g per day, women 59. 4g, boys 27. 5g and girls 24. 7g. There is also evidence of inequalities between race, gender and age and these are not always mutually exclusive. The Government White Paper Healthy Lives, Healthy People: A Call to Action on Obesity in England (DoH, 2011) highlights inequalities within ethnic minorities with women showing a higher prevalence of obesity than men. Healthy Lives, Healthy People (DoH, 2010) describes a partnership between the DoH and Association of Convenience Stores with the aim of making fresh fruit and vegetables more available in deprived areas and also providing chiller cabinets for fresh fruit and vegetables in work areas. Healthy Start (DoH) is an initiative that allows low-income families to purchase free fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula and vitamins in exchange for vouchers thereby encouraging the uptake of healthy foods. The Healthy Start Quality Impact Assessment (DoH, 2010) has been careful to identify and eliminate potential inequalities that could be connected with the vouchers e. g. Kosher alternatives can be purchased with the vouchers. The same document indicates that the Healthy Start scheme has been largely successful but improvements to healthy nutrition education for families and awareness amongst eligible families of the scheme need to be made. Young children are, of course, reliant on their parents to provide their sources of nutrition. The Scottish Health Survey (2003) showed that children from families of lower socio-economic status consumed more fat, sugar and processed foods and less fibre, less ‘good’ carbohydrates like pasta and rice and less poultry and white fish. A child’s weight can be influenced by many different factors including parental attitudes to food, family eating behaviours (young children model their eating on parental eating habits), food choices and reduced physical activity/increased sedentary lifestyles (DoH, 2009). It is therefore important to address parental nutrition as well as that of the children within the family. This can be a challenge if the family in question do not perceive there to be a problem with their current diet or lifestyle. Sometimes recommending healthy nutrition to parents, handing out leaflets of signposting to websites or support organisations is simply not sufficient. It is important, as professionals, to recognise that some families will need a greater input than others and that the level of engagement with each family is likely to vary. The Educational Approach (Green and Tones, 2010) to Health Promotion aims to provide evidence-based information coupled with developing individual skills that will enable a person to make informed decisions about their health behaviour. This can, however, result in the client making voluntary choices which may not concur with the health promoter’s. Training is available for professionals e. g. HENRY (Health, Exercise and Nutrition for the Really Young) funded by the DoH and Department for Children, Schools and Families. This scheme trains professionals working with families and young children to empower parents to provide an optimally healthy environment for their children. It is soundly based upon the Family Partnership Model and uses solution-focused approaches and reflective practices and, having undergone evaluation, has shown to be a widely successful programme (Rudolf et al, 2009; Davis et al, 2002). For older children and their parents, cookery and nutrition lessons are now being made compulsory within schools (House of Commons, 2009) and ‘Cook It’ classes are available as part of the Healthy Lifestyles Service commissioned in some Primary Care Trusts. There is a drive to improve school meals, children’s awareness and knowledge of healthy food and the general food experience through initiatives such as the Food for Life Partnership which through evaluation has shown to be a success (Orme, 2011). Christensen (2004) describes a Health-Promoting Family Model, whereby internal factors (such as genetics, family health history and values and goals) and external factors at societal level (income and wealth, housing, ethnicity etc. ) and community level (health services, mass media, peer-groups etc. can all shape a child’s health and well-being. It also discusses the idea of a child being an actor for health promotion and that their behaviour, opinions and self-awareness can be influential upon the family within which they are a member. The suggestion, therefore, that parental behaviour change is solely responsible for the health outcomes of family members is, perhaps, inaccurate. This model provides a substantial argument fo r Healthy Eating education within nurseries and pre-schools and also the promotion and implementation of the Food for Life Partnership. It has been widely documented that the gap in health inequalities is widening despite best efforts to close it. The UKPHA (2004) responded to the White Paper Choosing Health – Making Healthy Choices Easier (DoH, 2004) by stating that choices in Public Health at a population level are spurious. The rich are becoming richer, the poor are becoming more likely to be victims and perpetrators of crime, progress in reducing the gender pay gap is slow and deprived communities suffer the worst effects of environmental degradation. The response states that if you have lower socio-economic status, behaviour change and making healthy choices is simply not always an option; whilst Government initiatives and information given to families by health professionals is designed to empower people to make healthy choices, the locus of control is not always endogenous (Rotter, 1966). It should be recognised that the act of empowerment and giving advice to those who cannot act upon it, is, perhaps, an act of disempowerment serving only to feed the concept of a ‘Nanny State’ and creating a disconnection between behaviour and desirable outcomes (Freire, 1985). WHO (1999) states that whilst national health policy should prioritise those most in need, all social groups are affected by unequal distribution of benefits related to socioeconomic growth and societal goods (e. g. access to education) and this needs to be addressed if the gap in health equality is to be closed. The Government has pledged to use evidence-based services to address the problem of inequalities in nutrition aimed at different population groups at National, Community and Local levels (DoH, 2011). Beattie’s Four Paradigms for Health Promotion (1991) clearly shows how health promotion can be a ‘Top Down or Bottom Up’ exercise with the professional being either a leader or a facilitator for change. The Social Change model (Naidoo and Wills, 2009) whereby changes are sought within organisations at Government level to bring about improvements of the physical, social and economic environments thus promoting health can be demonstrated through the use of mass media, advertising and policy-change. The Healthy Food Code of Good Practice (DoH, 2008) sets out seven targets including restrictions on the advertising of unhealthy food to children, information on nutritional content of food in a variety of settings and a single, simple and effective approach to food labelling. The Food Standards Agency has adopted the ‘Traffic Light System’ to visually indicate the nutritional value of foods with ease – this, the DoH (2008) states, has helped to drive behaviour change. The Behaviour Change model (Naidoo and Wills, 2009) is concerned with making improvements to a client’s individual health by encouraging them to change their lifestyle. However, the client has to be ready to make the change – without this component, the act of behaviour change is likely to be ineffective (NICE, 2007). Subsequently, this can lead to ‘victim blaming’ (Ewles, 2005) if the individual is seen to be ‘ignoring’ advice whichis counterproductive when those choices are not really choices and the locus of control is exogenous. However, with the gap in health inequalities no nearer to being closed, can the Government truly conclude that these measures are working towards behaviour change and healthier lifestyle choices? I would suggest that until the cost of healthy food is reduced, thereby making it more accessible to families with lower socio-economic status, surely the visual aids and advertising are futile? Both the Foresight Report (2007) and the Government White Paper Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives (DoH, 2008) recommend that early intervention could be a way oftackling the problem of overweight and obesity. The Health Visitor Implementation Plan: A Call to Action (DoH, 2011) states that early intervention is ‘the most effective way of dealing with health, development and other problems within the family’ and the CPHVA/Unite (2008) recognise that Health Visitors play a key role in reducing childhood obesity through contact with families antenatally, postnatally and throughout the early years of a child’s life. This is discussed further within the schedule of the Child Health Promotion Programme (DoH, 2008) which states that healthy weight and nutrition should be discussed from the days of early pregnancy. The Marmot Review (DoH, 2010) discusses a Life Course Approach which suggests that, even from the antenatal period, there will be certain life events that affect health (for example, in childhood, variation in nutrition affects growth which can then be associated with adult health risks [Wadsworth, 1997]) and wellbeing and that early intervention and prevention is key. A logical early intervention to prevent obesity would be to promote healthy nutrition in families. Singhal et al (2004) state that: â€Å"Early nutrition has a major impact on long-term health including cognitive function, bone health and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. ‘Start4Life’ (DoH, 2011) covers topics such as breastfeeding (which is widely recognised as a protective factor for obesity), weaning (again, widely recognised as a protective factor for obesity if started no earlier than 6 months) and physical activity for babies. EMPOWER (Empowering Mothers to Prevent Obesity at Weaning) is a sp ecialist health visiting programme involving home visits to babies who are at high risk because their mothers were extremely obese prior to pregnancy. The programme has been developed and piloted and is currently undergoing phase 2 of a randomised controlled trial (Barlow et al, 2009). Sure Start Children’s Centres offer support with healthy eating and breastfeeding, in conjunction with Health Visitor clinics, breastfeeding support groups and postnatal groups. However,the NESS (National Evaluation of Sure Start, Birbeck University of London, 2005) review of Sure Start Children’s Centres indicated that whilst the centres had benefit to less deprived families, there was little benefit to those families of greatest need. This could be explained by Tudor Hart’s (1971) Inverse Care Law; those who are most in need of an intervention either do not or cannot access ervices that are available. The setting for health promotion is integral to effective health education and taking into account accessibility, the target group and the premises (or location) is a fundamental role of the health professional (Green and Tones, 2010). Getting this right can help to avoid the risk of increasing the health gap in society by addressing the needs of excluded groups and including unconventional settings (Linnan and Owens Ferguson, 2007). The Ottawa Charter (WHO, 1986) states that: Health promotion works through concrete and effective community action in setting priorities, making decisions, planning strategies and implementing them to achieve better health. At the heart of this process is the empowerment of communities – their ownership and control of their own endeavours and destinies. † TheEuropean Health for All Policy Framework (WHO, 1999) demonstrates that by allowing individuals, groups and communities to influence the context in which they experience health and giving control over the environment in which they live and work, people are encouraged to take responsibility for their own health. Witness accounts of a community successfully working together to prevent the closure of a budget supermarket in an affluent town centre rejuvenation project demonstrate how effective community empowerment can be (Ayre, 2011). As discussed throughout this essay there are a huge number of evidence-based documents that highlight the necessity for healthy nutrition and many more besides. Evidence-based practice and evidence-based health promotion are both becoming increasingly recognised within the public health domain (Nutbeam, 1999). Whilst, as identified by Perkins et al. 1999), evidence-based health promotion is a good thing, the UK Treasury Report (HM Treasury/DoH, 2002) would suggest that there is a high volume of research describing the problem of health inequalities but relatively little intervention research that helps to identify practical responses. Nutbeam (2004) describes the notion of ‘analysis paralysis’ for academics and policy-makers as a result of the compl exities surrounding the differences in opportunity, access and resources and their impact on health status. This leads to continuous examination and debate about the nature of the problem but little effective action to tackle it. Nutbeam carries on to say that a deficit in research surrounding wider social, economic and environmental determinants of health can discourage Government responses until more convincing evidence is obtained or can restrict attention to only good evidence of effect thereby narrowing responses significantly. Public health policies are inevitably guided by political considerations alongside available scientific evidence (Black, 2001) which can lead to restrictions in evidence-based assessments thus resulting in the ‘wrong answer to the right question’ (Davey-Smith et al. 2001). Having discussed healthy nutrition as an early intervention to prevent obesity, I would like to conclude that whilst there are many documents and initiatives concerned with reducing health inequalities across socioeconomic gradients, slow progress is being made. I feel it should be a priority to engage individuals, families and communities in health promoting activities and consultations that will e ncourage ownership in improving their diet and nutritional intake whilst taking into account their social, economic and environmental circumstances. Until the cost of healthy food is driven down and the availability of cheap, unhealthy food is reduced little will change. As stated by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (2011): â€Å"Suggesting that children in particular can be â€Å"nudged† into making healthy choices especially when faced with a food landscape which is persuading them to do the precise opposite suggests this would be best described as a call to inaction. † I perceive that, when combined, the Behaviour Change model and Educational Approach could be successful – when given the opportunity to make informed decisions, healthy choices may become more likely. I also believe that, if used in isolation, neither model would have the desired outcome. Timely dialogue should occur to encourage the receptivity to behaviour change and evidence-based health promotion should be delivered in a way that is amenable and accessible to all socioeconomic groups. A ‘Bottom Up’ approach, whilst difficult to truly achieve, could be an effective way to tackle to problem of poor nutrition and the resulting overweight and obesity with clients identifying their own needs and gaining skills and confidence to act upon them (Naidoo and Wills, 2009). I would suggest that the majority of interventions regarding healthy nutrition and reducing obesity (and perhaps all health promotion activities) are all top down as they all have a common goal – changing behaviour and improving health by providing evidence-based information with the professional acting as an ‘expert in the field’ (Naidoo and Wills, 2009). The delivery of the intervention, therefore, denotes not only the perceived role of the professional but also the level of success.

Summary of the Case Barbara Stoppel was working at the Ideal Donut Shop when around 8:30 in the evening twine has been placed around her neck in which then she was strangled. She had died a few days later at St. Boniface Hospital.Sophonow was charged with the murder based on a jailhouse informant. After this Thomas underwent three trials. First trial was a mistrial as the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision. At the second and third trials he had been convicted. Thomas was released from prison after 45 months of wrongful imprisonment. In 1998, the Winnipeg Police Service undertook a reinvestigation of the murder of Barbara Stoppel. On June 8th, 2000 Winnipeg police announced new evidence had been shown to clear Sophonow of the crime and the suspected had been identified. Innocence Proved byThomas’s innocence had been proven by the absence of evidence that caused his conviction to be reversed in 1985 by the Manitoba Court of Appeals that order ed his acquittal. Compensation On November 5th, 2001 the Manitoba Justice Minister released a report recommending he receive a payment of $2. 6 million Canadian.

A Dream To Work In A Multinational Company Commerce Essay

A Dream To Work In A Multinational Company Commerce Essay it has always been a dream to work in a multinational company such as an oil and gas companies after my M.sc program in other to apply my skills learnt to the sector regarding business unethical practices and negligence of corporate social responsibility(CSR) by this companies in this sector. firstly it would be necessary to define CSR which is a situation where a company provides social benefit to the public which are required by law(Mc William and siegel 2001); while business ethics can be defined as† the study of business situation activities, decisions where issues of right and wrong are addressed † (Crane and Matten 2004;8) CSR is highly required all organizations to fill in the short coming of government and provide needs of a community. The aim and objective of this write up is to point out the unethical practices, negligence and ineffective deliverance of CSR by the MNCs focusing on oil companies in Africa to their host communities. Analysis Despite some positive influence of oil companies through CSR like increase in developmental funding in 2001 by $500m(Frynas 2005) previous studies has shown that there are still cases where CSR has not had effect on the required beneficiaries through ineffectiveness , negligence and unethical practices by the companies. This can be proven through various situations in Africa has discussed it the course of this report , it can be seen that most CSR embarked upon by the MNCs are due to public and global pressure such case is that of shell and Ogoni , when visited by observers it was seen that the lack social amenities like Roads and electricity e.t.c.( World Business Council for Sustainable development 2008) despite this protest oil producing regions have not yet benefited from the wealth and are still left in poverty. In a statement by president of movement of survival of Ogoni people (mitte 1995) he says that the communities where not getting enough required social and infrastructures development, he al so pointed out that the companies are taking from the communities and not putting back into it and left in total neglect. this shows a great cases of negligence of CSR to their host environment which they are benefiting from financially, there also citing of abandoned projects which are meant to serve as CSR to the community example is an hospital abandoned by shell in Okoroba village Bayelsa for many years bust was completed due to pressure(Fryans 2005) this suggest that they don’t have good management or department to ensure that project that have been embarked upon by them are not left alone, some previous events indicates that CSR was adopted not for the benefit of the communities but for that of the companies so has to have competitive advantages and get favors from government representatives, In a report ChevronTexaco made a partnership deal of $50million with Us Agency For International Development (USAID) and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Angola to coin cide with negotiations for it block O (Fryans 2005) another example is in Ughoton Nigeria (SPDC) built roads and also provided funds for schools and youth empowerment in the village but as soon as it well stop producing oil they also stopped their various projects (okunmadewa et al 2002,p 63) . it shows that it was not meant to benefit to society but the company because it made them look like a company that support development and if the negotiation did not fall through they might have withdrawn their partnership another case is of shell who grant development fund to it managers to put up projects in regions which it has activities so has to maintain peace between them and the communities once this activities are complete it development account is closed and the project are left alone which ever stage it has gotten too. evidence of non functioning project like that of shell which one-third of it project in Nigeria not running or are in operation(Nigeria and shell 2001) duo they are trying to help there is no sign if development due to the lack of smooth operations of this projects. lack of trained managers in CSR has made it difficult for most developmental plans see the light of day Frayans(2005) also confirmed this saying † major contract managers are not development specialist† and even if trained might be wrongly trained for instance British petroleum sent it managers to acquire skills on development in a business school instead of a development school Fraynas(2005) which would put them through all the stages of development , failure to have specialist and conduct investigation relating to what is required could make the aim of CSR not to be achieved e.g. in Angola BP donated condoms during a campaign for AIDS but without adequate investigation and consultation the aim of CSR was not met because the condoms where too small for African men (Fraynas 2005). There has also been cases relating to un ethical practices by the oil companies causing har m and increase level of poverty in the regions which they operate such as Niger Delta according to Eyina and Ukpo(2006) they state that † it will be correct to indicate that the greatest environmental problem with petroleum industry in Nigeria result from spillages†; In the early part of 2008 alone Nigeria recorded 418 spills(Vanguard Oct.29,2008) which affects the ecosystem and increases poverty due to the fact that most people in that region are farmers and fishermen. Further evidence of unethical practices can be seen in the technological method of production adopted by them which releases poisoned gas like CO2 and CO into the atmosphere(Aigbedion et al 2007) also Eyinla and Ukpo(2006) supported this by saying that the †soil ,rivers and creeks are now acidic†. which had influence the people indirectly because there drinking water and fishing occupation have been destroyed impact of oil exploitations has caused the soil not be good for planting and the wate r is contaminated with oil (Adepelum et al 2006).A report by Niger Delta Environmental Survey indicates that drilling activities in Niger delta has negative impact both † socio-economically and ecologically† (Nigeria Sunday Times 1998), Aigebedion(2005) also confirmed this that oil spillages has caused †ecological disturbance† .

The American Dream Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

The American Dream - Essay Example Essay on The American Dream provides us with numerous controversies that have emerged regarding The American Dream from diverse intellectuals in both America and other global states. Mainly, these encompass the real, practical meaning of The American Dream besides what the incumbent and other former patriotic leaders have tried passing on to the citizens. The essay example shows that some intellectuals and especially from the other global states have linked The American Dream with greed for materialistic gain, whereby they have cited US’ pretentious diplomacy. Since, US’ interest in other global states’ affairs is not to help them to resolve conflicts or ensure peace, but dexterously benefit from them especially in the oil rich regions (Middle East) (Gawenda). Consequently, this has prompted numerous spiritual intellectuals stating the actual hidden meaning of the dream as â€Å"greed, capitalism and failure of spirituality† evidenced in the America presen tly (Lillie 36). This is evident in the current US’ augmenting moral decay characterized by legalizing of both marijuana and gay marriages. Some intellectual critics have also cited the prevailing racism and inequality among the Americans have soiled the real meaning of the esteemed American Dream. This is because many people especially those emanating from the lower class claim that, only the whites comprise the high percent of affluent Americans.

To date, the airline is operating in seventy different countries and it flies over 120 destinations across the world. Almost every day, Emirates Airlines fly in and out of Dubai and around over 1200 flights fly from Dubai towards six different continents. Emirates airline alone accounts for 40 percent of the flights coming and going out of Dubai (Birtles, 1998). Currently, the company operates with more then 170 aircrafts. The airline is famous for its in-flight cuisine and, excellent entertainment system and excellent services and overall experience. Human Resource Management The basic purpose of the Human Resource Management is to meet the company’s strategic g oal and objectives by incorporating the right type of employees in to the company and by provide them the right amount of satisfaction by meeting their needs and making them comfortable with the companies operations. Specifically, it is responsible for the useful and capable use of inadequate human resource.

Thus, training and development becomes a key factor for the Emirates Airline as it helps the people working there to serve its customer in the best possible manner (Bundhun, 2011). The cabin crew of Emirates is considered the best in this business. The special thing about this crew is that it contains people with variety of nationalities. According to report by the Emirates Airline, the crew comes from over a 120 countries speak ing 80 plus languages. The cabin crew is in charge for the plane onboard operations since it is directly in contact with its customers (Collins, 2002). The company spends mere 5 to 6 percent of its revenue on training and development as opposed to any other airline company that at an average spends only 3 to 4 percent. Training and Development Training and development program is an important part of any service-oriented organization like the Emirates Airline. With the help of training and development programs employees overall productivity and efficiency increases which results in providing better services to its customers (Jha, 2005).

Department of Transportation in the U.S Research Paper

Department of Transportation in the U.S - Research Paper Example Department of Transportation in the U.S The US has a vast transport system that consists of modern transport infrastructures that include roads, railways, and ports. DOT offices are located in New Jersey Ave, SE Washington  District Of Columbia (DOT, 2012). This paper investigates the department of transportation on issues related to regulations and policy development. The paper also analyzes challenges and opportunities that define DOT operations. Purpose of the Agency The agency seeks to promote safety, efficiency, and convenience in transportation, in order to meet the interests of the Americans. Moreover, the agency promotes implementation of policies that concerns transport infrastructures and safety. The agency’s establishment was based on an economic agenda that sought to revitalize the US economy. According to Pucher, & Lewis (2000), the agency is an instrumental force in restructuring other economic factors such as land planning, energy conservation, utilization of scarce resources and urban planning. The agency also maintains equality in distribution of national resources, which characterize a free economy. In addition, DOT helps to create equal opportunity for all Americans through efficient transport system. The safety aspect enlisted in the agencies agenda also promotes economic prosperity. This is because the agency’s core agenda is to eliminate inconveniences associated with transport that often leads to losses (Bookman, 2010). According to Bookman (2010), the agency is consumer oriented. This is because the agency sought to promote the interests of ordinary Americans by promoting free flow of consumer goods. Evidently, the agency also has key interest energy and environmental conservation. The aim of the agency was to promote economic development through the creation of efficient transport infrastructures. These agendas are bound to misuse by businesses and individuals who are concerned with profits and gains. This created the need for regulations, which is the basis o f the agency’s operations. Indeed, the private sector views the agency as arm of the government established to oversees or promote transport regulations. DOT has various regulation options that were established to impose sanity in the transport sector. Regulation options promoted by the agency include driver regulations, vehicle regulations, company regulations, and alcohol and drug regulations (Bookman, 2010). Driver’s regulations ensure that drivers and the staff driving on American roads meet technical requirements. The regulations concerns licensing of drivers based on their qualification. The regulations also stipulate conditions under which a driver’s license may be revoked. On the other hand, vehicles regulatory options stipulates standard of vehicles used on American roads. Moreover, the regulations coincide with environmental conservation policies stipulated in DOT’s agenda. The alcohol and drug regulation outlines substance that should not be us ed by drivers. Alcohol and drug regulations promote compliance to drugs and substance regulations among drivers. The choice of these regulations is subject to review and amendment by the senate. DOT reviews the regulations to ensure that they meet the economic and social needs of the country. DOT’s executive board seems to have selected the most efficient regulations. This is because the regulations target road users and vehicles used American roads. Such regulations avoid redundancy and ensure accountability among road users. The regulations also utilize available resources in the sense that they consider drivers and vehicles as the basis for regulations policies. Although these regulations have been

Compare characters Aeneas and Turnus from the Aeneid by Virgil Essay

Compare characters Aeneas and Turnus from the Aeneid by Virgil - Essay Example Aeneas is the character with whom Vergil most identifies. He is the primary character in the legend and like Vergil; he approaches the world, even its hostilities, in an idealistic and prophetic manner. Aeneas is also Vergil’s self, facing the devils of a peremptory, wicked, outer world that commanded him to act and to face hard things; and he is Vergil’s self, guarded and guided by a voice of God in tones of an ultimate authority, his own mother’s. Vergil was brave with the courage that poets need, and he used the excitement of heroic tradition to sustain his courage to face the horrors of the world. (2) Aeneas, in addition to being influenced by his mother, unlike Vergil, was strongly identified with his father, Anchises, who saw him as becoming the ‘ancestor of Rome.’ Yet, Vergil’s greatness is no less foretold than Vergil’s in his works of literature. It is in the past, not only in Rome’s past, but that of his own that Vergil finds good and evil. There he also finds†¦powerful friends to help him†¦ and to be worshiped as heroes†¦as well as feelings like his own and lines already drawn, which could discipline and classify and organize, and so justify, these feelings. These include both feelings belonging to his present, which his own experience arouses, and also feelings that were more instinctive, as well as tendencies such as we all inherit from a past, those in which the experience has been wider than our own.(3) It is feelings like these that predestine Vergil to produce great works. It is also these feelings that, in addition to being a soldier and Roman leader, predestine Aeneas to be a romancer of women. While Vergil, no doubt jaded by his experiences in the world, finds romance in words, Aeneas finds romance through the waging of wars and the lives of the many women whom he comes in contact with while these wars are waged. The motherly love

Ethics and Local Governance Case Study Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Ethics and Local Governance - Case Study Example The council officers might be tempted to use this information in a manner that would not be proper or acceptable. It is indeed true that the employees of the council might be bound by rules and regulations which govern their conduct and ensures the confidentiality with respect to the information from the citizens. Nevertheless, despite such ethical requirements, some of the information might be used wrongly in a manner that can affect the citizens. Many of the council employees are constantly working to update the information or to get as much information as possible from the citizens. In such a case, they are bound by the rules to ensure that such information is only used for the intended purposed and should not even be accessed by unauthorized persons. It is therefore important for the workers to strictly adhere to all these rules and regulations in the most effective way and ensure that confidentiality is adhered to. In the same way, they should only obtain the relevant information and avoid getting anything that is not required by the council (Singer, 2004). This aspect therefore raises a very important ethical consideration which must be realized. The accuracy of the information that is kept in the index largely depends upon the sincerity of the citizens who avail the information. In some instances, some citizens might chose to provide inaccurate information which will eventually affect the overall information kept in the database. Common ethics require that the citizens comply with the requirements and provide as accurate information as possible. However, some people might choose to lie or give inaccurate information for their personal good. In this case, the council would be working on inaccurate information in the provision of its services in the area. It is very important that every citizen clearly understands why this

Proprietary and Contract Security Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Proprietary and Contract Security - Essay Example The problem has more to do with the thinking among executives proprietary security has no alternative. There is the feeling that contract security has a mix of the good and the bad. Why take the risk and get into trouble in case the security turns out to be bad (Shamus McGillicuddy). Nonetheless, reports from companies who have dared to venture and have the open system installed are encouraging. They work well and their cost is low. Some of them have gone on to say that they have better features than proprietary security. The function of security systems essentially includes spam, spyware and phishing blockers, virus protection, web filter, protocol control, intrusion prevention, a firewall and several other applications. The open sources all of these. Although company executives swear by contract security, they have only gone the extra mile and added this security along with proprietary sources in most cases. The time is not ripe for a complete recourse to the contract source and probably will never be. Proprietary security has too many aces up its sleeve that contract security will find hard to trump. Proprietary securities have access to far more rese... They also have more resources and access to critical ideas because of their size and reach. They have wide acceptance and are financially powerful to deal with any crisis. In case of any lacunae in a model, they have the capability to recall the entire lot and have replacement done at the same time. Disadvantages Because of mass production, they cannot have the maneuverability and diversity that contract security offers. They have enormous power to push their products but although they have wide range of features included in their products they cannot arrange for the maneuverability and diversity that contract sources can provide. In terms of cost, if they have to tailor make products for customers, they can be quite expensive. Contract Security The contract security segment has formed a National Association of Security Companies (NASCO). Organizations such as NASCO wield tremendous clout and are capable of bridging the gap that may exist between the proprietary and contract security. Tracy A. Henke, assistant secretary for the Office of Grants and Training, spoke about the importance of private security personnel participating in joint training with federal agencies. She also pointed out that the DHS is certifying more and more state training programs. The summit also featured sessions designed to foster an open discussion about issues directly impacting contract security operations (NASCO Concludes First Contract Security Summit). Advantages Contract securities can be powerful in applications and give value for money for niche organizations such as health and medicine. They are particularly useful for those seeking special attention in certain areas of professionals

My Best Friend Essay Example for Free

My Best Friend Essay â€Å"Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow; don’t walk behind me, I may not lead; Just walk beside me, and be my friend†. I’m going to describe someone who means the world to me and also has a huge impact in my life. I have one such good friend who walks beside me and who extends her hand, when I am about to slip and fall. She is my greatest asset in life, which I treasure more than anything else in this world. She is my best friend. My best friend is Mahliet Mersha. We come from the same neighborhood. Our houses are situated close to each other’s. Both Mahliet and I are of same age and belong to more or less same economic background. In fact, what has cemented our friendship deep is that our families have been close to each other for a long time. My father and Mahliet’s father were good friends back in Ethiopia. Another reason, which probably helped us to become good friends, is that we have grown together. We have spent our childhood days playing, fighting, learning, and enjoying together. Mahliet and I generally go to school together but I will be leaving Mahliet because it’s going to be my final year. Mahliet has many excellent qualities of heart and mind. Her simplicity, smartness, neatness, intelligence, straightforwardness, cool temperament, pleasant behavior, gentle ways, dutifulness, etc. have made her one of the most liked and popular students in the school. Mahliet’s sweet temperament is her greatest quality. She never hurts others or speaks ill of others. She has an amazing personality. She also helps me more than anybody. She tries to do all she can to make me come up to her level. She never goes to any movies or party without me. I do the same for her. My best friend has been through a lot she is currently living with me sometimes and also living with my other friend Helen. I’ve helped Mahliet from day one; she was having problems at home and not living a healthy life. Whenever I am sick, she is the first to come and see me. There is no function in my home without her presence. All these have combined to make our friendship deep and lasting. The best trait that I admire and like most in my friend is her disciplined life. She gets up on time, does her homework always, attends school regularly, respects her teachers and elders and never indulges in unhealthy ways such as, smoking, taking alcohol, idling away time, skipping classes etc. Her principle of ‘duty first- enjoyment second’ is something that I find difficult to follow, yet try to imitate. She corrects me whenever I commit any mistake. For me she is a source of inspiration, support and also a role model to imitate. I am ever grateful to the almighty for having given me such a good friend. I cherish it as my greatest treasure. I am sure our friendship will grow deeper and deeper in the years to come. I wish everyone had such friends in life. I know I can always count on Mahliet whenever I need her and she also feels the same way. My best friend brings joy to me.

These field notes should be taken as if you were a naturalist describing the biology/ecology of a newly-discovered environment. An example of what I expect: Date: October 22, 2011 Location: Fort DeSoto Time: 09:30 – 09:45 Conditions: Heavy rain and wind, occasional lightning, severe flooding due to extremely high tides Walking on the trail at the welcome center where the water was waist deep. At the southern red cedar tree I noticed a bull shark feeding on a brown pelican, at which time I turned around and went home. Species identified (for species you identify, sketches are often helpful, maybe even indicate whether or not you took a picture. I STRONGLY suggest you take notes on any diagnostic characters we talk about): Southern red cedar – 20 feet tall, with scaly, needle-like leaves, bluish berries, and brown, shredded bark Brown pelican – large, brown bird, with a long, broad beak and a white head Bull shark – 5 feet long, very deep-bodied (large girth), blunt nose Obviously I don’t anticipate that you will encounter a scene such as this, but similar detail is required. Notes should be taken both in class and during your out-of-class excursions. Include drawings of plants/animals, key identifying features, terms we discuss etc. These notes will be extremely beneficial when studying for your field exam as well as preparing your collections. NOTE: field notes do not need to be typed, but I must be able to clearly read your writing. Also, a simple list of species we encounter will not be sufficient. To receive full credit, at a minimum you must have a set of field notes for every field trip we take. Should you miss a field trip, it is your responsibility to make up the trip on your own.

Oxford Strengthening Technique Analysis

Oxford Strengthening Technique Analysis Strengthening exercise was used comprehensively in sport training and rehabilitation setting which recognize as an important exercise mode for sport performance as well as health purposes. The term strengthening exercise and resistive training was used interchangeably which targets to improve the maximum amount of force that can be generated by a particular muscle group. It can be define as any form of active exercise in which dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force applied manually or mechanically (Smith, Weiss, Lehmkuhl, 1996). The strength training exercise can be classified into three categories which are isometric or static, dynamic or isotonic and isokinetic (Power Howley, 2009). Following a strength training program, physiological changes will occurs which increased the muscle mass (Ikai Fukunaga, 1968), muscle size or hypertrophy (Always, 1990) and hyperplasia (Mikesky, Giddings, Matthews, Gonyea, 1991). Other than that, in is also believed strength training may result in fast-fiber type conversion in humans (Staron et al., 1990). Staron et al., 1990, demonstrated that, twenty weeks of high intensity strength training result in conversion of type IIx fibers to type IIa in collage age females. Besides, strength training will induce central nervous system changes, which can increase the number of motor units recruited, alter motor neuron firing rates, enhance motor unit synchronization during particular movement pattern and result in the removal of neural inhibition. This will result an improvement in the amount of muscular force generated and appears after few weeks of training session (Rube Secher, 2008). Even though strength training reported to be beneficial, however it may increase cellular damage. Mechanical loads impose stress, strain and sometimes damage on working muscles and connective tissues (Razmjou, Rajabi, Jannati, Azizi, Jahandideh, 2010). Despite the established effectiveness of resistance training, uncertainty still exist as to the most efficient way to train. Designing a resistance training program is complex processes which are incorporating several acute program variables and key training principles. The effectiveness of a resistance training program to achieve a specific training outcome are depending on several acute program variables, all of which affect the degree of the resistance training stimuli (Bird, Tarpenning, Marino, 2005). Throughout the century, various types of exercises regime are arise. Most fame of strengthening exercises is the DeLorme Regime, Oxford Regime, McQueen Regime, Daily Adjustable Progressive Resistance Exercise Technique (DAPRE) and Circuit Training. Several programs have been developed to assist with the design of resistance training program and many of these programs have been advocated for use in the rehabilitation setting (Baechle Earle, 2008). Several key training principles govern safe and effective resistance training program design, including overload, specificity, adaptation, progression, individualization and maintenance (Power Howley, 2009). From the pioneering work of DeLorme and Watkins, the concept of progressive overload exercise (PRE) has become the foundation of resistance training program design. Their works describe the classic program variables of load, frequency, duration and intensity, which to achieve such overload. It shows that, with training strength return more quickly to atrophied muscles if relatively few repetitions are performed at high levels of resistance. This is the basis for the most weight training program (DeLorme Watkins, 1948). The DeLorme exercise technique was based on the progression from light to heavy weight and also known as pyramid resistance training (Razmjou, et al., 2010). DeLorme hypothesized that, the muscle need to be warm up by the 10 repetition maximum (RM) reach before progress to the heavy resistance. In the other hand, he suggested the training overloaded a muscle by increasing the magnitude of the weight against which the muscle developed tension. Therefore, they established training by starting it from 50% of 10 RM for the first set, 75% of 10 RM for second set and 100% of 10 RM for third set (da Silva et al., 2009; Fish, Krabak, Johnson-Greene, 2003; Razmjou, et al., 2010) Another method to strengthen muscle is the Oxford technique or the reverse pyramid technique. The Oxford technique is emphasizing training from the high load to the lighter load based on the 10 RM. It starts from the 100 % of 10 RM, 75 % of 10 RM and 50 % of 10 RM for the first, second and third set respectively. This exercise technique was thought the decrement of resistance would mimic the progressive increased in muscle fatigue. Each set of repetition would continue to exercise the muscle to its maximum capacity, thus preserving the overload principles (da Silva, et al., 2009; Fish, et al., 2003; Razmjou, et al., 2010). Many authors have tried to establish normative data for muscular evaluation in various populations that might serve to orientate a rehabilitation program and aid in the detection of the causes of musculoskeletal system injuries, thereby facilitating preventive action. Therefore, isokinetic dynamometry is widely used for muscular function studies because it facilitates a dynamic, objective, accurate and reproducible evaluation. This measurement is feasible for the resistance applied to the movement and can be adapted to permit a constant angular velocity during the whole range of motion, thus, it optimizes the load, which is always the maximum. This evaluation allows characterizing the muscular alterations resulting from the practice of sports, leading to the improvement of performance, training specificity and injury prevention (Siqueira, Pelegrini, Fontana, Greve, 2002). In order to evaluate the muscular performance, an isokinetic dynamometer was used and the tests involved maximum voluntary contractions of the selected muscles (Fonseca et al., 2007). The isokinetic evaluation becomes increasingly necessary in the high performance sports scenario, since it allows identifying and quantifying muscular performance and balance of athletes. Such evaluation makes it possible to plan specific and functional training of the lower limbs, besides elucidating specific deficiencies of the muscular function so that they can be eliminated or minimized, allowing the designing of prevention programs to decrease incidence of muscle lesions. According to Deschenes Kraemer, 2002 state that depending on program design, it capable in enhancing each of the functional constituents of the neuromuscular system, which are strength, power and local muscular endurance (Deschenes Kraemer, 2002). Despite the proven effectiveness of resistance training, it is still unclear which exercise regimen is more suitable and there are many efficient way to train to develop muscle strength (Razmjou, et al., 2010). However, there are less research had been done to measure the effectiveness of DeLorme and Oxford techniques in rehabilitation or muscle strength training. 1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY In this study, several objectives were identified. The main objective in this study is to measure the effectiveness of DeLorme and Oxford strengthening exercise techniques on hamstring muscle by using isokinetic system evaluation. This are includes the evaluation of the peak torque, average peak torque, average power, total work, acceleration time and deceleration time within 6 weeks of exercise training interventions. This finding will help the clinician or exercise physician to have evidence based guidelines to rule out their exercise prescription. Other than that, this study also investigates the immediate effect of Delorme and oxford strengthening exercise technique within 3 weeks. Therefore, this finding may help us to determine which exercise techniques have greater immediate effects and adaption on resistive or strengthening exercise. 1.2 RESEARCH QUESTION Several research questions were developed upon this study. First research question for this study was upon the effectiveness of DeLorme and Oxford strengthening exercise regime technique within 6 weeks of training. Other research question that may develop upon this study is upon the immediate effects of DeLorme and Oxford strengthening exercise regime within 3 weeks of training. 1.3 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Ho There is no mean difference of peak torque of hamstring muscle among DeLorme, Oxford and control group within 6 weeks.

The Character of Henry Higgins in Pygmalion Essay -- Character Analysi

Shaw has often been criticized for his inability to create well- developed round characters. His characters are usually seen as mere puppets propelled by the crisis of the plot or as mouthpieces for his socialist viewpoint. However in Pygmalion,, Shaw vindicates himself of these charges by the creation of rounded and life-like characters such as Higgins and Eliza. Clearly they are not authorial stooges. They have a peculiar quality that leaves a lasting imprint on the reader's memory. But there is some truth in the charge that Shaw created a mouthpiece for his own ideas and the character of Alfred Doolittle is a case in point. While Doolittle is undoubtedly a staple comic character, he is an artificial and flat one. Doolittle is there for a purpose - he serves Shaw's didactic needs. As such he is in the Dickens' vein of exaggeration. Doolittle's character is drawn for the sole purpose of ridiculing the Victorian philosophy of the "undeserving poor." One cannot imagine such a characte r existing in real life. On the whole, however, Pygmalion is peopled with imaginative and lively characters. While Higgins and Eliza are excellent, even the minor characters are well drawn. Henry Higgins Higgins is an extremely interesting character and the life of the play. Although the play's obvious concern is the metamorphosis of a common flower girl into a duchess, the development of Higgins' character is also important. The play isn't only Eliza's story. One also detects changes in Higgins or to be more precise he appears to the reader in a new light at the end. This is seen when he tells Eliza that he has grown accustomed to seeing her face and hearing her voice. This is not much of a sensitive display of emotions but it is quite diffe... ...ough the character of Higgins. It is obvious that Higgins's manners are not much better than those of the Covent Garden flower girl. In fact Higgins comes off much worse because of the fact that he has had all the civilizing benefits of wealth and education yet he is rude to the point of being boorish and ill mannered, is given to frequent inflammatory outbursts, and possesses abominable table manners. The fact that such an ill- mannered person is accepted by society as a "gentleman" provides Shaw with an opportunity to expose the shallowness and hypocrisy of such a society. Shaw thus critiques a society that views wealth and the ability to speak correctly as the constitutive criteria of a prescriptive gentleman. It is one of Shaw's master ironic strokes to make such a rude and boorish egotistical bully the main agent for transforming a common flower girl into a lady.

Self Knowledge And Happiness In Pride And Prejudice, by Jane Austen Ess

Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen is centred on characters that either gain self awareness and knowledge or possess none at all. Happiness is found even when one has no understanding of selfhood but the most happy and satisfied people in the novel are those who have self knowledge. People that possess self knowledge understand their strengths and weaknesses and characters that gain self knowledge are able to decipher these characteristics and act upon them. As marriage was seen as a great achievement for women in their society, happiness in Pride and Prejudice relates to whether one is happy or unhappy in their marriage. Lydia, Mr WIckham and Lady Catherine de Bourg have no self awareness and are unhappy in the novel. The marriage of Lydia and Mr Wickham is one of the unhappy marriages. Mr Wickham and Lydia are both very similar and are both unaware of their faults; they are both careless with money and see no problem with asking their relatives for money. Lydia as the youngest daughter is well accustomed to having other people look after her and she is dependent on other people. Lydia’s lack of self awareness doesn’t affect her greatly; she is happy and claims that she loves Wickham. She is very fond of him but he is not fond of her and quickly loses interest, â€Å"Wickham’s affection for Lydia, was just what Elizabeth had expected to find it; not equal to Lydia’s for him.† Lady Catherine de Bourg has no self knowledge. She is full of herself and sees herself very highly; it is obvious she is lacks self knowledge. She makes discourteous comments about other people without thought to their opinions and she also enunciates comments about how she views herself. Lady Catherine de Bourg is unhappy because she is disappointed ... ...ejudice and realizes her faults she develops towards Darcy and is then prepared for a more fulfilling happy marriage. People with self awareness can be both happy and unhappy. Mr Bennet has self awareness but he is unhappy because he finds no satisfaction in his family. Elizabeth and Darcy come to know themselves and develop towards each other and so their marriage has the capacity to hold the greatest happiness. Also, happiness can be found when you have no self awareness. Charlotte has self awareness and knows what she wants and needs and so she is content in her marriage to Mr Collins. Mr Collins has no self awareness but is happy because he has a wife and this is what he aspired to. Ultimately, people who have the most self awareness and knowledge who can grow and learn their weaknesses and faults are the people who will have the most happiness in their lives.

Palestine and Israel Essays -- Threats to World Peace

Background The issue of Palestine and Israel is one that has been hotly contested for over a thousand years. The last fifty years have been especially important in the history of the Jewish people and Palestinians. Since the death of Yasser Arafat on the 11th of November 2004 , and the election of Mahmoud Abbas as his successor as leader of the Palestinian Authority, significant steps have been taken towards a lasting peace. This will hopefully lead to a conclusion of the second Palestinian intifada, which began in late September 2000, and to an end of the oppression of the Palestinian people by the Israeli Defense Forces. Both Jews and Arabs have suffered heavily from the conflict, thousands of innocent civilians have died on both sides, and peace is in the interests of all. History of the Conflict The disputed territory that has been alternately referred to as Palestine and Israel is relatively small, the total area is only roughly 22 000 square kilometers. It is bordered by Jordan on the East, Lebanon on the North, Egypt and the Mediterranean Ocean on the West, and shares 76 kilometers of border with Syria in the North East. The two disputed territories that are occupied by the Israeli Army but under the autonomous control of the Palestinian Authority are the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. These two territories amount to roughly 6400 square kilometers, the West Bank makes up the majority of this area – it amounts to 6000 square kilometers in the Eastern part of the country and borders the nation of Jordan. Jews have long considered Israel to be their national home. They consider it to be a Holy Land, or a Promised Land – they believe it to be their right from God to live in the region.

The company moved to design house partnership with the facility to provide distribution services as well. The company changed its manufacturing unit with high end machinery with many moulds which gave them around 600 % increase in productivity. The most successful design partnership was with villessi , Italian design house. Their manufacturing operations were gr8 in terms of scheduling and planning for a product. They had good machinery which utilises their full capacity. There were some challenges for the company as well as there was issue within the company as they were pushed to a limit. But it was good in some way. The main objective or key to future was building and retaining design expertise will be the key to the future. The company had an edge with design and finishing of the product as they were into making aerospace products which gave them this expertise. Now they are the leader in euro market, but they are thinking what should be their future plans and what product venture they should do in future. Or we can say the issue for debate in company was long term beyond their expertise as the two changes they made earlier were already their strength. Concepts †¢ Input transformation output processes. †¢ Operations topology. †¢ General model of operations Management and operation strategy. Questions Why is operations management important in CDS? Operations management is important in CDS (Concept Design services) if they are to continue being one of Europe’s most profitable home ware businesses. As with any other company, CDS objective is to add value to their final product while using its resources effectively and efficiently through its internal processes like planning, schedulin g, control, quality. The company has successfully been able to apply the technology used in the aerospace sector into home ware items, through the mastering of injection moulding machines. Moreover, the company has expanded into a premium home ware product market from low end product i. e. â€Å"Focus†, integrating new functions within its operations, such as forming partnerships with reputable designers and increasing the volume and complexity of its production i. e. High design value products and outsources the low end low profit making product i. e. â€Å"Focus† brand. †¢ Draw a 4 V’s profile for the company’s products/services. Volume:  High/ low. it can be drawn that production volume is high as it has increased 600% since the buying of new large multi-cavity moulds and machinery. Another ndication of high volume production is the fact that CDS decided to subcontract their Focus line to other moulding companies, so they could focus on the production of their premium line (Concept Design). But as it’s not mention in the case so we can’t be sure of the volume aspect. It can be low as well high. Variety:  High. CDS m arket is a highly competitive one, in which design innovation determines the longevity i. e. Long term of the firm. CDS capacity of developing products that are in fashion and moreover, its adaptability to change as fashion changes is key to the survival of the firm. Variation:  High. For the same reason as with variety, CDS is forced to continuously produce innovative designs that would keep their customers interested and therefore keep demand high. Visibility:   Mixed high and low. †¢ What would you recommend to the company if you were asked to advice on improving its operations? There are 2 areas that CDS needs to improve:  the relationship between its designers and other parts of the company (such as the manufacturing and distribution, planning) and a better forecasting of sales. The designers don’t get to spend enough or any time on the ‘floor’ of the company, that is, they do not have an in depth understanding of the manufacturing processes and the way they are affected by their decision making. If they could spend some time doing ‘cross training’ they would get a real idea of the manufacturing processes. Departments should have a better collaboration. As per Linda its a fashion industry so predictions can’t be accurate, but it should be to accurate to a point where there is better planning and accuracy of decisions.

In Ramparts The Life of Longs Hughes, Hughes is occasionally depicted as dealing with the subjective struggle of forked consciousness, such as after the publication of his book of poems, delicately Clothes to the Jew.A collection of poems that, as Hughes describes first- handedly as, a better book than my first, because it was to a greater extent impersonal, more about other people than myself (Hughes 394). He considered the collection to be an honest glimpse into the world of African-American issues, and white America applauded the book. However, his black critics denounced it as garbage, and proclaimed Hughes to be (R amped 140) and the poet Loretta of Harlem (Hughes 396).Hughes relationship with Charlotte Mason, or Godmother as she care to be called, Is spotted with a few examples of double consciousness. Meeting Mason by means of Lain Locke, Hughes was immediately taken under her wing in her effort to elevate African culture to its rightful place of discover (Ramped 147), and enlisted to create literary works of art. Seduced by the opportunity to work on his rhyme and various writings without the uncertainty of poverty, Hughes went to work for Godmother in exchange for financial security, golem an entire KICK Dates on Masons demands.Longs Hughes thread was filled with examples of the tumultuous battle of double consciousness, from early life to old age, whether in Harlem or traveling around the world. His books manages to explore both the assimilation of African-American into the Euro-American culture as well as the recognition and retention of the cultural aspects ludicrous to the Afri can- American community.
