Alopecia totalis, is an uncommon condition in which all hair on the scalp is lost. The cause is unknown. Alopecia universalis, is a total loss of hair on all parts of the body. Androgenetic alopecia is balding caused by heredity. Most people routinely lose between 70 and 150 hairs from their scalp each day, mainly through washing, brushing and combing, scalp hair starts to thin when more hair are lost through normal shedding that the scalp is able to renew. About 40% of the density of scalp hair has to be lost before thinning of the hair becomes noticeable.

In the Philippines, the Sampaguita is called by various names: sambac, sampaguna, campopot, lumabi, kulatai, pongo, malur and manul.

INVESTIGATORY PROJECT
“SAMPAGUITA AND SANTAN PERFUME”
ABSTRACT:
Long ago before Chemicals discovered, Perfumes came out in different scents and all come from their natural resources. During this times our economic is experiencing crisis, this where our product comes in. According to E-health MD, Sampaguita is known for other names like Jasmine Samba, Pilake, Kampupot, and many more. It has a lovely scent of purity. To make the scent we prepared our materials like the mortar and pestle, strainer, and an empty bottle. We pound the Sampaguita and we strained the liquid to remove the leftover of the pieces of Sampaguita Perfume. We are now into conclusion if the Sampaguita Perfume would last its scent. There were some recommendations given like: test other flowers if the scent would last longer, and do further study to improve our products.

PROCEDURE:
1.) Collect the Sampaguita and Santan Flower.
2.) Pound the flowers until the liquid comes out.
3.) Strain out the left over pieces of the flowers.
4.) Transfer the liquid part in an empty bottle.

FLOW CHART:

Gather up the Santan and
Sampaguita flowers

Pound up the Santan and Transfer the
Sampaguita flowers until Juice in a clean
The juice comes out. Empty bottle

Strain the left
Over pieces of
The flowers

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
We ran into the conclusion that there might be a problem in the production of the sampaguita plant. And we also think that the scent might not last long. So what we did we compared the santan and the samapaguita itself. We have two mixtures, now what? We’re going to do is to compare the duration of two products. One of the suggestions was to use different flowers to see if what fragrance last longer and how many days it will take with both perfumes. In making this product it is needed that you must get tons of flowers in order to spew out enough juice achieve or attain the exact amount you need. It takes to do and it also need force in order to extract the juice.
There were some recommendations that we had received, one is to see if there are other flowers that can ONLY be seen in the surrounding to minus the cost. But yet, it should have a scent that would last a long time.

Asda

...motivation did Archie Norman discover at ASDA? ASDA was one of the most successful retail businesses in the United Kingdom. It had a competitive advantage due to its unique superstore structure and its low price leadership in the market. Everything changed all of a sudden as ASDA found itself with demoralized employees, slow growth in sales, and declining profits in 1991 due to many years of lack of interest from previous managers. It had been a 1 billion pounds cash surplus supermarket chain in 1987, and by 1991 it had a debt of over 1 billion pounds. This was the situation that Archie Norman encountered at ASDA when appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The main reasons of the problems that ASDA and Archie Norman had to face were due to complex organizational inefficiencies. The employees had lost the ability to act independently and got used to be told what to do after many years of controlling management. ASDA had become a bureaucratic and hierarchical institution and as a direct result of this rigid functioning structure in the company any kind of innovation was stopped from being encouraged or implemented. Without any innovation ASDA was unable to keep its competitive advantages in the retail market in the United Kingdom. So ASDA and Archie Norman had to face the challenge of transforming the superstore in relation to its management style of doing things as well as implementing a sense of culture based on the core values of ASDA. Management and leadership had to change...

The savings, which represent an £7m increase on last year, mean Asda remains on course to deliver efficiencies of up to £800m by 2020, it said. Julian Walker-Palin, head of corporate sustainability at Asda, said: “At Asda, our approach to sustainability is based on the belief that protecting the environment and saving people money go hand in hand. After all, wasting resources means wasting money – and we hate waste of any kind. “Since 2005, our work to minimise the environmental impact of our operations has delivered over £80m in savings – which we have invested in delivering lower prices for our customers. Now, through our exchange programme, we can go even further, helping over 300 suppliers find efficiencies in energy, waste and water that can also help keep prices down”.

Asda Case

...ASDA Case Stephany Mejia 1. What problems of motivation did Archie Norman discover at ASDA? Archie discovered that beyond the immediate financial crisis ASDA had organizational and cultural issues. These issues created a problem of motivation. ASDA’s top executives had offices in a separate part of the headquarters and were isolated from the rest of the company, one manager explained that executives seemed more interested in “hunting and partying” than in addressing serious issues faced by the company. ASDA had become more bureaucratic and hierarchical. The bureaucracy had reached a point that made it difficult to get anything done. With the financial crisis people feared losing their jobs, so they didn’t want any attention to themselves and this stopped any innovation. There was little integration or interaction between the classes. Executives came mostly from the upper class while lower level employees came from working class. There was clearly a communication issue and subordinates were intimidated by their superiors and thus afraid to tell them anything other than what they wanted to hear. There was also an issue of communication between different departments such as buying, marketing and finance and this made coordinating activities particularly difficult. Since employees were not allowed to do anything and were so afraid this caused them to lack motivation for ASDA. 2. What do you think Archie Norman should have done on his first day on the job? ...

Critical Eye for Asda

...Walking the Talk: an Article for Critical Eye Archie Norman, the former CEO and Chair of the supermarket chain ASDA, left a haunting image when he spoke at a conference last week. He compared the store visits he engineered with those of ASDA's previous CEO. In the latter, a fleet of large cars would arrive at the Supermarket door and out would step 5, 6 or more senior executives. The store manager would be waiting patiently at the door. Hands would be shaken and the entourage would sweep down the aisles of the store. 'Hi, what do you do? You enjoy working here?' and then off to the next visit with a passing: 'tidy up that main display' to the manager on the way out. By contrast, Archie would go alone, park in the far corner of the car park, leaving the near spaces to shoppers who were spending money. He left his jacket in the car and walked unannounced into the store. He'd chat to customers: 'what do you like?', 'what could we do better?', 'thanks for shopping here' and to the staff: 'What's the best thing about working here? And the worst?' and finally he would talk to the manager, maybe over a coffee in the canteen. 'What can I do to make your life easier?' 'How's business?' A final walk round the store, maybe with the manger, then off to the car park to write any action notes to himself before setting off for the next visit. The point was not about the need to 'press the flesh' or be visible: it was how you got a realistic picture of what was going on and actually do...

Asda

...Asda, the grocery store chain that Archie Norman had just been hired to lead, teetered on the edge on bankruptcy and ruin. While Asda had enjoyed a long run of success in the United Kingdom, upscale competitors and down-market deep dis-counters had sharply eroded its customer base. Norman, an outsider to Asda who had never run any retailing operation, believed that Asda could not afford the luxury of piecemeal or incremental improvement. Everything about the organization - from the way they purchased and displayed products to the way store managers interact-ed with shop-floor employees - would have to change. Everything. Company Background With 65,000 employees in 205 Asda stores and another 2,000 at corporate headquarters, Asda was the fourth largest grocery store chain in its home country. Asda enjoyed annual sales of $6 billion,1 and claimed 8 percent of the supermarket business, ranking fourth in market share. Starting in the late 1960s, Asda pioneered within the country the concept of large supermarkets located outside of downtown areas with expansive parking lots and low prices. Flourishing particularly in working class areas, Asda became known as a blue-collar store, specializing in low prices in a warehouse-like atmosphere (“Pile it high and sell it cheap” was a phrase commonly associated with this type of opera-tion). The demographics of their customer base was decidedly “down market.” In that niche, Asda was quite successful, operating without any real competition...

...and expanding into local areas with superstores and convenience stores as well as on the High Street. Supermarkets expansion has resulted in the suffering and closure of many small local businesses. Dennis Wrong, Socioligist states that in a situation where the gain of one is equivalent to the loss of another so the net gain is zero, it is a ‘zero-sum’ game. This essay examines the relationship between supermarket power and a ‘zero- sum’ game. It shows how the supermarkets gain is balanced by the loss to others and outlines the ‘positive sum’ games of power. The concept of power is viewed in variety of ways by different groups, I feel this depends on the angle you are viewing things from. Contemporary UK has four huge supermarket chains, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco often referred to as ‘giants’ by the economy which indicates the level of power and dominance they have in the market.
