...periodization, is based on a hypothetical goal. So, at any time, the percent of your contest max may be off by as much as 20%. Many times the lifter is missing weights 3 weeks from the contest. This is because their expectations are too high or possibly too low. Training should be calculated by using a formula based on math, not dreams. I suggest everyone read books on periodization by noted authors such as Tudor Bompa or Vladimir Zatsiorsky. These books explain periodization in terms of micro- and mesocycles. After all, periodization is a reference to the division of training into a yearly plan, or even a 4-year plan, i.e., an Olympic cycle. This system is used for weight lifting, powerlifting, and track and field, and of course should be used for all sports requiring the development of power. The former Soviet Union had so much data on training that they did not know what some top coaches were doing. Mel Siff (`!Supertraining`!) asked how I arrived at our 3-week pendulum system. It was quite similar to that used by the great Soviet Union SHW champion Vasily Alexeev. I stated that after 3 weeks we could not become faster or stronger, so we waved back down and started over. Mel said that Alexeev found the same to be true. So with the help of Russian and Bulgarian research and that done at Westside with over 70 Elite powerlifters, plus feedback from some of the greatest powerlifters around the world, our loading is based on A. S. Prilepin’s table. For speed work for benching...

...INVESTIGATING DANIEL 9:24-27 Lloyd Bell Bible 450 April 17, 2013 INVESTIGATING DANIEL 9:24-27 To say that Daniel 9:24-27 is one of the most discussed four verses in all the bible would be a great understatement. Dr. Ray Prichard when describing Daniel 9:24-27, went as far as to write, “It is the key to prophetic interpretation and the backbone of biblical prophecy.” So what then would merit such a statement? How can four verses be so important? Concerning the importance of this passage John Walvoord writes,” The interpretation of the revelation given to Daniel concerning the seventy weeks (Daniel 9:24–27) constitutes one of the determining factors in the whole system of prophecy. The attention given to it by all schools of interpretation, and the attacks upon the authenticity of the book itself combine to focus the white light of investigation upon it. The interpretation of this passage inevitably colors all other prophetic views, and a proper understanding of it is the sine qua non of any student of prophecy." The above being noted, this paper will investigate Daniel 9:24-27, discuss schools of interpretation, and provide this author’s interpretation of this important prophetic text. By investigating Daniel 9:24-27 it will soon become evident that rightly dividing the Word of Truth requires diligent study and the application of sound hermeneutic principles. Daniel 9:24-27 within Context Looking at these verses alone can lead to mishandling...

...the faithful Daniel spent a night in the ferocious den of lions. However, the prophecies and predictions contained in the book had never been a topic of concern for me. The prophet Daniel completed his memoirs around 530 B.C. and is one of three books compiled during Israel’s Babylonian captivity . Many scholars have debated over the true date and authorship of the book due to its pinpoint accuracy when predicting future events. One of the most intriguing and heavily disputed passages pertains to the prophecy known as the “Seventy Sevens”. In this paper, Daniel’s Prophecy of Seventy Weeks will be exegetically interpreted with a focus on identifying the purpose of the prophecy, the starting time and event for the prophecy, the division of the weeks within the prophecy, and the details pertaining to the fulfillment of this prophecy. The Interpretive Method The prophecy of Seventy Weeks is recorded in the ninth chapter of Daniel, verses 24-27. These four verses are often considered to be the most difficult to understand text recorded in the book . To help understand the depth and meaning of this passage one can benefit from applying four key factors to their study; better know as the interpretive method. The interpretive method consists of four main principles; how the passage applied to the original audience, the differences between the original audience and the current one, the theological principle, and how those principles should be applied to Christians today . ...

...PERIOD Direction: Solve the following problems. Write your complete solution for full or partial credit. 1. Ben’s Muffler Repair advertises that it is able to replace a car muffler on the same day a customer brings a car into the shop. If for any reason Ben cannot keep his promise, he pays the customer $100. Ben has found that for LN-70 mufflers, the optimal reorder quantity is 30 mufflers; he orders LN-70 mufflers 10 times a year. As LN-70 mufflers have to be ordered from a manufacturer located a considerable distance away, lead time for his orders is 30 working days, a period of time in which Ben on the average sells 30 LN-70 mufflers. During the past 10 years, 100 orders were placed. There were 10 occasions when Ben sold 32 LN-70s, 5 occasions when he sold 35 and only 1 when he sold 36 during the 30-day order period. On each of the other 84 occasions, he sold 30 or fewer. If it costs Ben $18 a year to hold one LN-70 in safety stock, what should Ben establish as his reorder point for LN-70 mufflers to minimize his costs? At this level of safety stock, how many $100 bills will Ben expect to give to car owners whose cars require an LN-70 muffler? 2.

...that are given in chapter 9. Daniel was given the prophetic perspective on the fate of the Gentiles and the Jews. At the beginning of chapter 9, the prophecy of Jeremiah is brought into the picture. Jeremiah prophesied that Jerusalem would suffer 70 years of desolation. “For thus says the Lord, ‘When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 1You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’” (Jer. 29:10-14) Daniel gained access to the writing of the prophet Jeremiah. Daniel fully understood what the writing meant so when he read the prophecies of Jeremiah, he became encouraged to pray that Jerusalem be restored. Daniel believed that the seventy years mentioned in the writings of Jeremiah were literal and would be fulfilled. Although Daniel had much faith that the prophecies would take place, he also believed that much prayer would be needed to push things forward. Daniel would pray three times...

...Seventy Weeks of Daniel BIBL 450 Liberty University On-Line Dean Jaynes 02/08/2015 Daniel 9: 24-28 contains what many consider to be the most important prophetic scriptures in the entire bible. This passage details the prophetic chronology of Israel from the time of Daniel until the second coming of Christ. Much of Daniel’s vision of the seventy weeks can be seen in both historical and biblical events such as the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem by decree of Artaxerxes I in 445 B. C. (Miller 1994). the triumphant entry of Jesus on the 8th of Nisan (Strong 1995), and the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 AD. It is interesting to note there is a gap in Daniel’s prophecy between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks. When Jesus read from the scroll in Luke 4 he only read part of the scripture “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor” (Isaiah 61: 1-2a NASB) and he stopped. The remainder of that scripture declares a day of vengeance of God. By not completing the scripture Jesus was saying part of the prophecy is fulfilled in your presence today and part is yet to come. The seventieth week will resume with the revealing of the Antichrist and continue until the return of Christ at his second coming. Daniel 9:24 gives us the complete prophecy...

...Research Process The ultimate goal of the student data collection is to determine the average monetary expense of furthering one’s education for one calendar year. The subjects of this paper are students of the University of Phoenix’s Bucks County Campus. The cost of obtaining a higher education at this university is approximated by using a focus group, consisting of four learning team members. Constructs, such as tuition cost, travel expense and resource expense data from each subject will be explored. In order to effectively measure the information obtained from the focus group, controls are implemented on the data. This study assumes that each student travels to and from the campus twice a week. The first trip is made to attend class and the second trip is made so that each student can participate in a physical learning team meeting. Since the duration of each class is five weeks in length, the analysis used is based on 10 trips to the University of Phoenix campus. Each student will complete 10 courses per calendar year. The distance involved in traveling to the campus will be measured by mileage, price of gasoline, and tolls. Another measurement is tuition cost per course. The constructs for the tuition cost include tuition reimbursement and out-of-pocket expense. Travel expenses were calculated based on current gasoline average cost of $2.69 per gallon. Mileages per gallon calculations were based on 17 miles per gallon of gasoline from participant’s home to the...

...Andrew Weeden, Jason Giest, Kerri Kuhn Group 12 Metabical Case Current Competition Metabical is the “first and only prescription weight loss drug to receive FDA approval.” This prescription drug has less side affects than current weight loss options, which creates a market niche because if people are not obese but want to lose 10-30 pounds they might consider it if the negative affects are subtle. CSP is targeting overweight people (BMI between 25 and 30) not obese or sever obese people (BMI >30 or BMI >40), which is different from other weight loss drugs. They were able to do this by combining the “2 categories of prescription diet drugs: appetite suppressants and fat-absorbing blockers” in a dual layer pill. “The first layer contained an appetite suppressant, calosera, while the second layer contained a fat blocker and calorie absorption agent, meditonan.” These drugs worked in low dose levels, which created less negative affect on the body. Prescription drugs often have side effects but Metabical has no side effects associated with it, which is another major selling point for CSP. Some of the side effects listed for Metabical’s competition were serious enough to cause long term damage such as liver failure, kidney stones, severe stomach pain and gallbladder disease. Some of the major side effects were even life threatening. Not killing the customer is always a good strategy and encourages repeat business. The formula used for Metabical is also an advantage, the...

Stabilizing the Master Schedule AGGREGATE PLANNING DEFINITION: • Aggregate planning is intermediate-range capacity planning that typically covers a time horizon of 2 to 12 months. • It deals with translating annual business and marketing plans into a production plan for all products. • It is particularly useful for organizations that experience seasonal or other fluctuations in demand or capacity. GOAL: The goal of aggregate planning is to achieve a production plan that will effectively utilize the organization’s resources to satisfy expected demand. 3 LEVELS WHICH ORGANIZATIONS MAKE CAPACITY DECISIONS: 1. Long-term decisions - relate to product and service selection, facility size and location, equipment decisions, and layout of facilities. 2. Intermediate decisions - relate to general levels of employment, output and inventories, which in turn define the boundaries within which short-range capacity decisions must be made. 3. Short-term decisions - consists...

AMAP is a unique model with special inspiration: “Cooperation of competitors” from all over the world, with common understanding that it is much more beneficial “to act together on enlarging the cake than to fight on its slices”. This basic idea was firstly discussed at informal meeting of various exporters during the '4th World Avocado Congress' (Uruapan, Mexico 1999), where it was agreed to meet once a year and to modify numerous existing connections from being 'bi-lateral' to be 'multi-lateral'. Further many steps, for tightening the relationships, were taken in the past dozen years. Nowadays, there is permanent weekly data exchange. The group has twice a year meetings where many subjects are presented and discussed, like marketing, promotion, future supply programs, developments, new ideas etc'. AMAP is simple win-win cooperation's model, who operates without any administration, fee or levy, under a motto of “Free competition with free information".

...of Concerned Scientists tells us that dropping from 70 to 60 mph improves fuel efficiency by an average of 17.2 percent. Dropping from 75 to 55 improves fuel efficiency by 30.6 percent!. In an easy to vision example for the people to understand example: A family sedan, every 10 mph you drive over 60 is like paying 54 cents per gallon more for gas you bought at $3.25 a gallon. That extra cost is even higher if you're buying more expensive gas, and for big SUVs and other less-efficient vehicles. The carbon emissions percentage will also drop considerably reducing pollution by 33 percent, and the time you save by going easy on the accelerator may not add up to as much as you thought. On a 300-mile trip, driving 65 instead of 70 mph would cost you only 20 minutes time difference and save money and spew less carbon into the atmosphere. Most small to midsize cars get the best mileage between 45 and 55 mph The studies show that as speeds creep higher, fuel efficiency drops. For every mile per hour over 60 mph fuel economy drops by an average of 1 Percent which is lowering your fuel efficiency. The US Department of Transportation stated in a study dated 2010 that the factors will determine the amounts of fuel we are saving. They stated in their report that gasoline at 4 dollars a gallon, a driver with a long commute 400 miles a week and a large gas guzzling V6 or V8 engine is getting only 20 mph would save $18.74 a week by slowing down from 75 mph to 55 mph, the difference...
