...valley high on the idea of closing the campus off from all students during lunch. This method is not needed nor does it need to be enforced for many reasons . one reason is the school food is not appetizing to the students. Also most of the students want to relax during lunch time and mainly get out if the school and relax. Lastly some students also have to be responsible and maybe run errands for their parents during lunch time . For many students eating the lunch that the school provides its not something they enjoy doing. Students often say that the food that the school provides is nasty and disgusting they also believe that there are not enough food for them to keep a healthy diet. For example an athlete has to consume more food than a regular student and some time the lunches provided at the school don't allow them to do that. Many of the students love to go off campus and eat because they have a wide variety of restaurants...

...all U.S. traffic-related deaths (Burris et al., 2011). Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in the United States according to Pandrea, Happel, Amedee, Bagby, &ump; Nelson, 2010, and studies show that reducing alcohol consumption can lead to public health improvements such as decreased incidence of “liver cirrhosis, delirium tremens, male suicide, criminality, hospitalizations, alcohol-related disease mortality, workplace injuries, STDs, IPV, rape, robbery, and severe violence towards children” (Jernigan). Public heath deals with many other issues that cause burdens to individuals and society alike such as obesity and gun use. Over the past several months, headlines in the news have been echoing “Chocolate Milk Removed from School Lunches,” and “Senate Considers Federal Tax on Soda.” While the removal of chocolate milk from school menus has actually happened in certain school districts across the country, federal tax on sodas has only been a proposal at this point. However, both echoes resounding through the news originated from escalating research that America’s twin epidemics of diabetes and obesity are due to diets high in sugar. The end result is that the actions taken to fight obesity have not been classified as either effective, uncertain, or harmful consistently through studies and research because there are too many variables like genetics, other sugar-loaded beverages and foods on the shelf, lack of exercise,...

...Obesity in the Workplace Dorothy Fitzsimmons Webster University Problem Over one-third of American adults are obese. This paper will research discrimination against obese people in the workplace and how companies are accommodating the obese employee and promoting healthy lifestyles. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), two thirds of Americans, age 20 and older, have enough extra pounds to face health risks (2005). Many Americans face bias and discrimination at their place of employment. Some have been told by their boss, "You're too fat" and been fired, even with good performance evaluations. Many overweight and obese individuals fear they may lose their jobs or make less than their coworkers. Some cannot get jobs, due to inequitable hiring practices. Employers can be prejudiced. They offer overweight employees lower salaries. Question If more than one-third of American adults are obese, this group of Americans Body Mass Index (BMI) above 30, per Center for Disease Control (CDC), how do we prevent discrimination against them in the work place? How do we help this group of Americans obtain gainful and fulfilling employment, as well as empower them to improve their health status? Our First Lady Michelle Obama has made obesity our countries’ number one enemy. The First Lady created “Let’s Move” as her platform for combating obesity in our country. Answer The workplace is evolving in understanding...

...For the exclusive use of Z. Shan, 2015. 9-913-560 JUNE 10, 2013 LINDA A. HILL ALISA ZALOSH Wendy Peterson Introduction “Could you bring us the check, please?” Wendy Peterson signaled the waiter, breaking the awkward silence that ended the annual review of one of her direct reports, Fred Wu. On paper, Wu’s performance was impressive. Within eight months of joining the Plano, Texas, office of AccountBack, an accounting software and services company, Wu had signed the region’s largest client and promoted AccountBack’s products and services among the Chinese business community in Plano. Despite these achievements, Wu’s review ended uncomfortably. Though they’d worked together for a year, Peterson struggled to bridge the distance between Wu and herself. Over lunch, Peterson praised Wu’s efforts to broaden his professional skill set by attending weekend sales seminars and networking with colleagues to better understand the business. These efforts, she noted, surely contributed to his success in retaining his large, but only, client. Peterson then reminded Wu of her concerns. “Fred, I’d like to remind you that your primary focus should be on new business. It seems as if you are spending too much time managing your one client, and that’s not your job.” Peterson continued, “As I’ve mentioned before, I’d like to be kept abreast of your development efforts, so I know when and if you need help from me, or someone else in the company. I expect you to summarize your...

...The Economic Journal, 114 (April), 265–280. Ó Royal Economic Society 2004. Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA. THE INEFFICIENCY OF SPLITTING THE BILL* Uri Gneezy, Ernan Haruvy and Hadas Yafe When agents are ascribed selfish motives, economic theory points to grave inefficiencies resulting from externalities. We study a restaurant setting in which groups of diners are faced with different ways of paying the bill. The two main manipulations are splitting the bill between the diners and having each pay individually. We find that subjects consume more when the cost is split, resulting in a substantial loss of efficiency. Diners prefer the individual pay to the inefficient split-bill method. When forced to play according to a less preferred set of rules, they minimise their individual losses by taking advantage of others. Economic theory is unambiguous in its prediction that if externalities exist, outcomes are likely to be inefficient when agents selfishly maximise. The literature on externalities, as well as its derivatives in public goods, tragedy of the commons and moral hazard studies, has shown that externalities lead to inefficient levels of production and consumption. This result depends crucially on the general assumption taken by such studies that human agents maximise selfish payoffs without regard for others. With the emergence of behavioural economics, economists have come to question whether...

...Conclusion | 9 | 5. | References | 10 | Working from Home: It's in the Details By Rachael King on February 12, 2007 Additional Assets The benefits include lower costs and greater productivity, but figuring out how to communicate with off-site employees is crucial. Traffic surrounding Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash., has become so congested that Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire nearly missed a 9 a.m. speech at the company's main campus one recent morning. Roads leading to the software maker simply weren't designed to handle the 35,000 commuters who report for work there each day. The gridlock that greeted Gregoire was just the latest reminder that Microsoft needs to tackle its commuter crisis—and quick. So Microsoft (MSFT) has embarked on a program aimed at getting more employees to work from home and other off-site locales, joining the growing ranks of companies to catch the virtual-workplace wave. About 14% of the U.S. workforce gets its job done at a home office more than two days per week, says Charlie Grantham, executive producer of consulting firm Work Design Collaborative. That's up from 11% in 2004, and is set to grow to 17% by 2009 (see BW Online, 03/12/07, "Telecommuting Now and Forever"). Pros and Cons Benefits of letting employees work from outside the office include keeping cars off the road, helping a company to bolster its green bona fides. But the practice can also foster employee retention, boost worker productivity, and slash...

...Consumer Behavior Term Paper May 1, 2008 Consumer Behavior studies how people buy, what they buy, when they buy it, and why they buy it. It involves the use and disposal of products as well as the study of how they are purchased. Product use is often of great interest to a marketer because this may influence how a product is best positioned or how to encourage increased consumption. Since many environmental problems result from product disposal: such as motor oil being sent into sewage systems, or garbage piling up at landfills, this is also an area of interest (Perner, Lars). By recording in my weekly diaries what I consumed daily has taught me how demographic, physiographic, and behavioral variables can affect a consumer’s purchasing power. Family, friends, reference groups, and society are big influencers in what affected most of my buying decisions. Other factors where religious and health reasons. The seven weeks of jotting down the calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and other nutritional facts; were helpful in pointing out my daily routines and activities. It gave me a chance to monitor myself and see how I make my purchasing decisions, why I make those decisions, and how those decisions have affected me. As a twenty-one year old Hispanic student living with her guardian, most of my food intakes are prepared by my grandmother at home. She makes me my breakfast every morning which is usually between bagels or...

...A food truck is like restaurant on wheels. It has several distinct advantages over a traditional eat-in restaurant. A food truck can go to where the customers are. It has pretty low overhead, compared to a restaurant, and requires far less staff. However a food truck is still a business that requires a lot of work and attention- especially in the first couple of years. Food truck owners put in long days and have similar problems as restaurant owners, such as slow seasons, bad weather, and sluggish economy. Read on to find out how you can start your own food truck business. Difficulty: Hard Time Required: Two Months or More Here's How: 1. Find out if a Food Truck Business is Legal in Your Neighborhood. This may sound like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many places don’t allow food trucks or put a cap on the number of food truck permits allowed at any given time. Case in point – both Los Angeles and New York City are two of the busiest areas for food truck businesses and both have caps on the number of permits allowed. 2. Find out Where You Can do Business. Assuming your city or town allows food truck businesses, next you need to find out where you can do business. Depending on local ordinances you may not be able to park in the busy downtown area. Before you set up shop in a busy tourist area or business park, make sure its legit. 3. Choose a business name. Okay, you now have a solid plan for where you are going to sell your food.
