...Unlike Any Other Disease: Anorexia “I really gotta start losing weight before spring break,” a 15 year old from Long Island wrote in her blog on Xanga.com, a social networking site. “Basically today I went 24 hours without food and then I ate green beans and a little baked ziti. Frankly I’m proud of myself, not to mention the 100 sit-ups on the yoga ball and the 100 I’ll do before sleep. Yay for me.” (Williams 2). Anorexia nervosa is an illness that usually occurs in teenage girls, but it can also happen to teenaged boys and adult men and women. People with anorexia nervosa are obsessed with the thought of being and remaining thin. They lose a lot of weight and are terrified of gaining it back. Anorexia nervosa isn’t just a problem with food or weight; it’s an attempt to deal with emotional problems (Siegel 1). To completely understand and comprehend this horrific disease, you must consider the media that includes pro-anorexia websites that include negative support for suffering anorexics, celebrities in Hollywood, and teenager’s peers. Background information and the effects are also vital to the cause of this disease. If we look into any teenager’s experiences throughout middle school and right through high school there are all sorts of negative pressures: to drink, smoke, use drugs. But one of the least visible one of them is all is unforgiving demands to be thin and appear as the famous stars to in Hollywood. Teenager’s peers may put pressure on the so called ‘friends’...

...importance of washing your hands is key, and the focus should be on children. To spread awareness about proper hand washing, I went to Calvary Chapel School to interact with the children in kindergarten. I started off the presentation with a short story about a boy and girl who were playing with some toys. The toys had germs on them and after playing with the toys; the boy and the girl went to go eat lunch. The girl remembered to wash her hands before eating, but the boy, however, forgot. After a couple days, the girl was fine but the boy had a cough and other cold symptoms. The next time the girl and the boy were playing with toys, after they both washed there hands, and they both didn’t get sick.

Then I proceeded to briefly describe to the children about germs and what they actually are. With all the information given to the small children, I left some...

...The Wright brothers, the first individuals that were able to fly a machine that weighed more than air, began testing their flight theories from 1901 to 1902. They flew the first airplane in 1903 which was a great advancement, but as contemporary aircrafts demonstrate, the success of the airplane industry continues to rely on the ability for these aircrafts to be restructured to meet the needs of today’s world. The Wright brother’s first flight lasted only minutes, while today’s flights last as much as days. Similarly, when USPS was created during the early years of the United States, it served a pivotal role in providing communication in a land that was still highly undeveloped and lacking transportation systems. The United States Postal Service was then the only means available for the masses to communicate between large distances. Today, with the presence of cellphones, the internet, and primarily a society that has grown accustomed to a fast-paced life, USPS is no longer up to par with what is demanded from the public. With its growing decline in use and profits, it is indisputable that in order to survive in modern society, USPS must be restructured to meet the expectations of a globalized society. It is no longer required to go to the bank to deposit or transfer money. Banks like Chase and Bank of America have technologically adapted to meet the needs of their customers, who no longer want to walk or drive to complete transactions and rather have the accessibility of banking...

...The Santa Ana Winds “ The Santa Ana” by Joan Didion and “Brush Fire” by Linda Thomas offer complete separate views to a similar topic, the winds of Southern California. In a first person narration the authors write of the wind from her own experience of living in California and from her own perspective, shedding light on two very different aspects of the Santa Ana winds. Physically, both pieces of literature are different. Each story reflects its own writer as “The Santa Ana” has lengthy paragraphs, chock full of information. Didion is an American Author known for her literary journalism and use of logos. At a glance of the piece, it lists of reasonings and details is clearly visible. Each paragraph is filled with descriptions and examples of the author’s point. Didion cites others like Raymond Chandler and uses lots of facts to prove her point of the winds destructive nature. “Brush Fire” has noticeably shorter paragraphs and uses much more imaginative diction like in paragraph four where she describes the wind’s journey as “....arrives in the foothills of southern California in hot, bone-dry, ten to forty mile-per-hour gusts that lower the relative humidity to three percent” in comparison to Didion’s description in paragraph three, “warmed as it comes down the mountain and appears finally as a hot dry wind”. Thomas is a well-versed poet, known to have published in the American Poetry Review. She offers her own opinion and recalls many memories with the winds in short anecdotes...

...Lead in Candy A recent issue that has generated a good deal of controversy is contaminants in children's candy, imported mostly from Mexico. The Orange County Register (OC Register) conducted an investigation and “recommendations emerged from sources during the course of the investigation” (2013). Recommendations include, but are not limited to, train “candy makers” on ways to reduce lead; testing of manufactures and providers of chili, tamarind, and packaging; improve communication by sharing data in-house and with Mexican officials to coerce change of production methods; and publicize the effects of lead on children’s health (and in adults, especially during pregnancy), such as delayed growth, hearing and weight loss, untimely birth, permanent brain damage and even death, for example (UCLA Report, 2009). The OC Register (2013) states that, “some changes have occurred on both sides of the border.” As an example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relayed a letter to candy producers saying it will start the process of setting a lower acceptable level of lead in domestic products, and the agency stresses that the new maximum levels are “achievable under good manufacturing practices in the production of candies and candy ingredients” (Food Navigator USA, 2006). In addition, it is important to mention that the number of cases of lead poisoning have dropped dramatically over the last two decades, due largely to both environmental regulations and ongoing...

...at the Fashion Weeks of New York and London they are still the exception. In a reflection of the expanding market for women who defy the super-slender ideals of the catwalk, leading fashion magazine Elle offered its readers a special issue in March featuring larger than normal models and sales jumped. British designer Mark Fast introduced shows last year in which the models were all above a British size twelve, and American size eight, following criticism that his dresses were too skinny. Despite their trailblazing status in the fashion world, when it comes to bigger models New York and London are slightly out of step. The move towards more generously sized models has accelerated since the death from anorexia in 2006 of Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, which shocked the fashion world. Spain and Italy banned models below a certain body mass index after her death, while Britain stopped short; banning only those aged under sixteen from the catwalk. “Sixteen corresponds to a level of maturity,” said Caroline Ruth of the British Fashion Council. When Frederique van der Wal, a former Victoria’s Secret model, attended designers’ shows during New York’s Fashion Week this month, she was “shocked” by the waiflike models who paraded down the catwalk. They seemed even skinnier than in previous years. “We know seeing super-thin models can play a role in causing anorexia,” says Nada Stotland, professor of psychiatry at Rush Medical College in Chicago and vice president of the American...

Many people are interested in simple activities or exercises that provide them with maximum results with minimal effort yet due to time constraints, careers, and the daily demands of modern life, most are unlikely to achieve their desired results.

Esto se plasma en nuestro día a día en unas mejores condiciones de vida, salud y bienestar, haciéndonos la vida más cómoda y fácil que la que tuvieron que vivir nuestros tatarabuelos hace ya unos cuantos años. Pero a pesar de todo esto, la realidad es que también vivimos en una sociedad en la que cada día más personas sufren problemas por una baja autoestima. Han incrementando el número de pacientes enfermos por depresión, bajas laborales, rupturas de pareja y matrimonios e incluso suicidios, de personas que no creían que valían lo suficiente como para seguir viviendo. Este es un tema muy serio, y por eso quiero ayudarte a conseguir la autoestima que ha hecho de mí crear mi propia empresa, sacar adelante un proyecto de autoayuda desde 0, ser mi propio jefe, escribir y publicar un libro, tener una buena calidad de vida, y sobre todo, reforzar una autoestima que se había ido deteriorando con el paso de los años. Pero esta vez no voy a extenderme con mi historia personal, sino que quiero compartir contigo la historia de una mujer que gracias a su autoestima alcanzo el éxito. Esta mujer, como puede ser la historia de cualquiera, desde muy pequeña se sintió inferior. Era objeto de burlas por parte de sus compañeros en el colegio, y su infancia y adolescencia dejaron...

...The climate in California becomes uneasy during a Santa Ana period. The Santa Ana winds can either bring joy or create great terror. The Santa Ana winds have different effects on the residents of California. The catch is whether the residents of California see it in a positive or negative way. Didion’s text takes a negative turn into her perspective of The Santa Ana Winds. While Thomas’ text takes a positive turn on his views of The Santa Ana Winds. With different perspectives the texts dirverge. Although, the texts diverge they also intersect on the reality of The Santa Ana effects. Joan Didion’s message is to warn the public of the dangers, effects and the overall results of The Santa Ana winds. “In fact the climate is characterized by infrequent but violent extremes”(Didion,5). Didion is stating a fact on California’s climate, it is not always bad but when the climate does get risky, dangerous and violent circumstances are presented. Didion emphasizes on all the negative effects of the winds with her diction. Didion says, “The winds shows us how close to the edge we are”(Didion,6). This states how the negative effects of the period shows the residents of California the risks they are encountering. It conveys the uneasiness the winds brings to the city of Los Angeles, and also the chaos and thoughts that hover over the city’s residents. Didion gives shape to her respective message by means of particular moves by introducting a counter claim...

...Marketing Solution MKT/571 Marketing April 25, 2011 Dr. Bea Bourne Marketing Solution Classic Airlines, one of the largest airlines in the country, “commands a fleet of more than 375 jets that serve 240 cities with over 2,300 daily flights” (University of Phoenix, Classic Airline Scenario, 2011) and has gained 32,000 employees with earnings of $8.7 billion in sales. September 11, 2001 was the start of the economic crisis for the airlines, along with the rising costs of operations. Classic Airlines has internal and external factors, which also contribute to the airline’s crisis. Addressing the crisis, Classic Airlines should consider using a ten-step basic problem-solving method as well as seek suggestions from the airlines internal and external resources. Define the Problem The first step in the method is defining Classic Airlines problem by determining the purpose of the project. Classic Airline’s shares are declining even though the airlines still earn a profit. A problem found is Classic Airline’s reward program offered to customers has declined, which could be because the customers are traveling less because of the economic times or the customers are traveling on other airlines. The decline could also be linked to the lack of customer satisfaction. Employee morale is another contributing factor to the airlines problems. The morale has decreased because of the September 11, 2001 attacks, referred to as 9/11. After 9/11 the airline was criticize...
