...person enjoys it or not. Also today’s generation has changed to where everyone has to or needs to buy things. Actually, there are three kinds of shopper such as intelligent shopper, window shopper, and impulsive shopper. The first type of shopper is the intelligent shopper. The intelligent shopper is the best type of shopper. The Intelligent shopper usually used to make a plan or a list of things needs before they decided to go for shopping. The reason why the intelligent shopper is the best is my mom is the intelligent shopper and when she decide to go shopping she can go directly to buy what she needs and come back directly; she do not lose too much time in shopping. In fact, she saves her money and her time because she do not buy something that she do not needs. She also do not spend most of her time in the shop. Another type of shopper that saves money is the window shopper. The window shopper usually don’t buy anything. They just go out to the malls during the weekend and walk from store to store looking at items. They may even try an item out to see how it fit or to see if it works but not necessarily buying anything. The window shopper just like to see what the stores have or enjoy themselves in the shop. Just like the intelligent shopper save their money, the window shopper save their money too because they don’t usually buy anything. They just like to walk around in the stores and look an items. ...

...this problem from a prevention perspective has given rise to business opportunity. In the following, a one year marketing plan for SaskTel’s LifeStat service has been conducted to conclude that the firm first ought to target a niche market within the Province. That is, Saskatchewanians who suffer from diabetes.

...Case 13: Attention Shoppers: Executive Compensation at Kroger, Safeway, Costco, and Whole Foods. MGT 495 November 13, 2011 Case Discussion Questions: Retail grocery sales represent a significant portion of the U.S. economy. The industry was highly competitive, with companies operating on low gross and net margins. As a result, grocery stores were generally under significant pressure to reduce their operating costs in order to maintain profitability. For the last several decades, the grocery industry grew roughly in line with gross domestic product and was considered a mature industry. In order for companies to succeed, they needed to find effective strategies to steal customers from competitors. Many sought to differentiate themselves through store format, store location, product mix, ancillary services, or quality of customer service. Strategies, however, could easily be imitated by competitors, putting grocery store chains under constant pressure to innovate and remain efficient. In general, growth also required the expansion into new store locations. Companies that failed to grow often went bankrupt or were acquired. S.W.O.T: Kroger, Safeway, Costco, and Whole Foods Kroger: Strengths • Multiple formats and solid market share in major metropolitan areas • Shopper insights program • Well known regional brands • Developed private label and loyalty marketing programs • Pricing image • Very strong organic growth (i.e., comparable and identical store sales) ...

...Essay for english Everyone may think different reasons of why and why not boredom does or doesn't lead someone into trouble. Boredom does lead to trouble; this can be found for not only teens, but adults as well; however, boredom can lead some to find a new perspective about him/her. A kid decides to explore his family’s house, and then BAM, his mother/father is yelling at him because maybe he broke something or he wasn’t supposed to go in that room. This can bring about problems within the family and can be a result of a broken family. Lots of teens hang out with friends, and sometimes do stupid things. I think this because, since they were bored at home all day, and finally getting out with their friends, makes them want to do dumb things or act stupid and could lead them and their friends into big trouble. If teenagers are bored, they may start hanging out with the wrong group of “friends” just because it would seem to them to bring some entertainment. The same motivation can make them try and use cigarettes, alcoholic drinks or even drugs. Boredom often makes young people do something illegal to get their share of adrenaline. Boredom and peer pressure - these are the big culprits when it comes to teenage drinking, drugs, sex and violence. If they have enough knowledge they can also become very dangerous thieves and hack people’s credit cards or computers. This helps them focus their brain and get their sense of pleasure. If youths are not that intelligent, they might...

...Template of the Athletics Teaching Training Program. Here are some steps that would be very handy to base your athletics program on. 1. Plan for Success – Make sure that you have all of your equipment ready, be completely organised. 2. Sizzling Starts – Get the kids attention, get down to their level, get to point and make it sound as interesting and as fun as possible. 3. Time Duration – Set out all of you activities so that you fit them in, always have a back up activity in case you have time remaining. 4. Dynamic Dialogue – Make your introduction as short and sweet as possible. Talking for too long will make the kids wrestles and bored. 5. Show, Don't tell – Most of the kids will learn what to do better if you show them, rather than trying to explain it, because they will get bored and lose concentration. 6. Ban the Boring Bits – When you are explaining what to do, show all of the exciting bits to get them interested, don’t say the boring bits and throw in a joke if need be. 7. Exciting Endings – Always finish with the final activity, they will enjoy it a lot more, especially when they know how to do the activity correct. Hence why we do the small activities to show them how to do it. 8. Coaching points – Have 3 easy and simple coaching points so the kids understand and won’t forget. 9. Equipment – Have all your equipment ready to go, do not run around in the last minute finding equipment because you weren’t organised. 10. Safety – Keep an eye...

...Salem Saleh 10-13-13 Summary Composition 800 Hidden Intellectualism In recent discussion of, intelligence, a controversial issue has been whether or not schools provide equal opportunity for students of all interests. The schools believe there is a certain standard in which students will become successful and smart. However, Gerald Graff, in Hidden Intellectualism, argues that students who are considered, “street smart” should also be acknowledged as, “intellectual” but do not meet that standard due to the set expectations of academia. The educational system is intended to develop everyone for an equal chance of success. If it did, it would be able to make the "street smart" achieve the intellectuality that is expected to meet the academic standard. The author emphasizes that academia or academics are focusing on educational life by being capable of reading and understanding a difficult text. Also the street smart won't be able to pass this task unless they can choose a subject that is interesting rather than what is automatically given them. In addition, he author encourages academia to tap into their students’ street smart to help them succeed in an academic environment they might otherwise be excluded from by changing the subject to a subject in which the student is interested. I am of two minds about Gerald Graff’s claim that teachers should encourage students to focus on subjects that are interesting and make the students motivated to learn. On the one hand,...

...THE EFFECT OF SELECTIVE ATTENTION ON THE ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIGERIAN STUDENT BY GODWIN EIGBE A PAPER PRESENTED AT THE INSTITUTE OF OPENCAST MINING AND TECHNOLOGY BENIN CITY 23RD AUGUST, 2013 Introduction The poor performance of Nigerian students in both internal and external examinations have been decried in many quarters across the country and many have blamed the society, the schools and parents for their role in the deteriorating level of academic performances. Not many have questioned the role of the students themselves in the dilemma that has befallen them. The search for a permanent cure to this menace has been on for decades. However with every new dawn the case seems to go worse. There are many who blame the poor economy as a result of high level corruption being perpetrated in government and political circles. Others believe that the school system is failing and is not doing enough to ensure that students get the maximum attention necessary for excellence. And there are others who believe that neglect on the part of parents is responsible for poor performances in schools. However true these factors are, no independent factor can be singled out to be more responsible for the problem of poor performance by students in schools. More recently, many researchers have identified lack of seriousness, laziness which leads to procrastination and corruption and examination malpractices in schools...

...I enjoyed most of what she lectured about. My favorite part of the lecture was when she spoke of ghosts and the haunted houses. The stories that followed the pictures were very interesting and kind of sent chills up my spine. That was the part of the lecture that had my full attention. It was interesting that these people didn’t just move out, but just adapted and lived with these ghosts. If it were me I would have moved out immediately. Some of the pictures of the homes were eerie, however some of the homes just seemed like normal houses. The only way you could know they were haunted was if the story was placed next to the picture. The other part of the lecture that I found interesting was the miniature recreations of crime scenes. I thought it was interesting how detailed the artists were with all the objects in the home. I wonder how they were able to so accurately place the paint onto the little cups and pieces of furniture. I also thought it was interesting how they created burned homes in the small scale. At times I was not able to distinguish whether the picture was of a real home or of the miniature recreation of the home. Other parts of the lecture didn’t really capture my attention and I found it to be a bit boring. One thing I liked about the lecturer was that she was able to show us the process that she had to go through to get these stories and pictures. She said she ended up creating a relationship with these people and the amount of time she must have...

...Introduction This paper explores covert attention and the information processing in which we ignore other parts of the environment while concentrating on another thing. Covert attention allows our eyes to select things that we want to hear or see and nothing else without any eye movement at all. Past research shows that a person fixated on any object or thing directs all their attention to that point and blocks out anything else in their environment. Examples of this are shown in our everyday lives. For example, when we are at a crowded restaurant with a bunch of different conversations going on a person is concentrated only on their conversation at their table or talking on the phone to someone while driving is all examples of covert attention. This research study is going to test the past research that has been conducted on covert attention to prove it true or not. This study will also have a fixated point, thats an arrow pointing left or right, that the participants will focus on while trying to answer whether or not there is a blinking box to the left or right of the screen. Method Participants The sample used for this study on covert attention was my Kennesaw State University class of cognitive psychology taught by Dr. Tim Martin. This project was chosen to be done by Dr. Tim Martin and the class because we would have a substantial number of different demographics of individuals in the class to conduct a study of covert attention. The number of participants in this study...

...the amount of work she was assigned. Though there were times I was tempted to jump in and share my story from the day I refrained and instead only asked small questions about her day to get her to open up more. Towards the beginning of the conversation she seemed distracted and kept looking off other places while talking, however the longer I reinforced that I was interested in what she had to say and the more I attempted to make eye contact with you the more she relaxed. She then began meeting my eyes as she talked. At the end of the conversation she in turn asked about my day. It was nice to each get to share out stories to someone who was clearly interested in listening to what we had to say. Throughout the week I paid extra attention to not only my body language, but the body language of others. In one instance I noticed that a member in my group project was sitting with their arms crossed and their eyes focused down at the table. I then began to notice that no one had asked for this person’s input on the project because he seemed so closed off. I decided to mirror his body language and I folded my arms across my chest and looked down. I stopped engaging in the conversation and no one directly spoke to me. After a couple of minutes I sat...

...to accomplish multiple tasks in the same general time period by engaging in frequent switches between individual tasks” (Konig et.al. 2005). This definition helps us to support our question that multitasking is necessary to teenagers and students. Teenagers and students are part of daily life that requires productivity from them and this will call in for a multitasking. Students and teenagers are surrounded by multiple tasks that all require their attention, and considering the time frame this will not be that much possible. Also at times multitasking will not be that much encouraged due to the fact that when multitasking we tend to divide our attention between the two tasks and thus overwhelming our thoughts which may lead to poor results on what we intended to do. To get much out of multitasking we need to reap the benefits while minimizing the drawbacks. Benefits of multitasking come in handy. We are able to do attend to different types of tasks simultaneously in a given time frame and jumping to others which require our attention, thus saving more time. Multitasking helps the student to switch between different sort of assignments and this prevents boredom and increases our creativity through brainstorming for the other project while doing the other. This becomes more inspiring and keeps us in need of more. Multitasking enables us to use our extra time prolifically. This is depicted in doing our morning jogging; we can listen to an online lecture about a particular subject...

...plethora of things, but the Internet is often the first that comes to mind. Not our 3-D televisions, not our Wii gaming consoles; not even our iPod mobile music players. The Internet has been swift in its takeover. While we indeed have access to all this wealth of information and activity, the situation we are essentially faced with is which comes first, and how quickly we shove it aside? It is quite apparent that heavy use of this technology has changed the attention levels of a rising generation- and not for the better, but for the worse. When such a hard fact is factored into place what also needs evaluating are the things not said. Chukkas, 2 Do we really understand the workings of attention? What then does a debilitated attention span have on a person? Are we truly interacting with the material before us, or just being exposed to it? If we do not follow through with the information found before us, how do we then make connections and deductions in our minds? Do we understand that to give great attention is to comprehend great things? These are some of the questions that arise when we consider the things not said. It is after we arrive at the hard truths that such questions inspire that we begin to realize our exact predicament. How do we discover the true science of subjects if we continue to be...

...Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically. It affects about 1 in every 800 babies born in the United States. A person with Down syndrome has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. The physical features and medical problems can vary widely from child to child. While some kids with Down syndrome need a lot of medical attention, others live healthy land fulfilling lives.

The physical development of people with Down syndrome is often slower than normal. Most of the children who are born with this disorder never each their average adult height. They may also have delayed mental and social development. Some of the common problems include impulsive behavior, poor judgement, short attention span, and slow learning.

...Hit the books! Is it better to be book smart or street smart? This question of what we consider to be intellectualism; Gerald Graff goes on to explains this through his the Chapter “Hidden Intellectualism” in his book Clueless in Academic: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind. I agree with Graff’s point about how teachers should try to get students more engaged in schoolwork using subjects students find interesting. Graff clarifies how being intelligent is not only about being academically smart, but also being “street smart”, using his own experiences. At the beginning of his chapter, Hidden Intellectualism Graff says, “We assume that it’s possible to wax intellectual about Plato, Shakespeare, the French Revolution, and nuclear fission, but not about cars, dating, fashion, sports, TV, or video games.” (245). What I believe Graff is trying to convey is, how it is viewed more important to know what started the French Revolution, than it is to know how to keep a conversation going, even when the two people have nothing in common. Although keeping up conversation would not be viewed as non-academic, but could very well be used to give presentations or speeches in class or in a debate. Graff goes on to offer his own experience of his youth. He describes himself as a typical anti-intellectual teenager that preferred sports to schoolwork. He explains how intellectualism was treated very hostile in the 1950’s and because of that he tried avoiding seeming book smart. He explains...
