...Neva Costello Week 1 essay There are many careers for sports, physical education, fitness, and heath careers but there is only a few that I would choose to do. The one that I would try my best to go for was coach. Or I would try to either be an athletic director, outdoors adventure leader or an athletic trainer. These seem the most interesting four out of all of them. The top one that I would pick like I said in the first paragraph would be coaching. The coaching career calls for all levels usually must have a bachelor’s degree. Degree programs specifically related to coaching include exercise and sports science, physical, kinesiology, nutrition and fitness, physical education, and sports medicine. To become a public secondary school head coach, those who aren’t teachers must meet individual state requirement for certification. The way the head coaches get to their spots that there at now is they worked to get there. They started off as assistant coach and gained the necessary knowledge and experience. To get where they are they also have to go through a ranking on their wins and the way they get them. Some responsibilities coaches have are bringing these following items to games. First aid kit especially ice packs, two copies of your completed roster form to be given to the referee. Player and coach pass cards for teams playing MTOC level division (spring only), game ball (home game), corner flags at least 5 feet tall (home team). With younger kids coaches have to make...

...DECEMBER 1998 Goodbye, Robbie Tuesday... Write an essay (900-1200 words) in which you analyse and interpret the Scottish short story “Goodbye Robbie Tuesday” by Chris Roberts 1997. Part of your essay must focus on the narrative technique and the importance of the setting. After many false summits, we finally reached the top of the hill. Jamie took my hand and led me around the hillside until he found a hollow place with gorse bushes all around for a windbreak. Jamie shoved me forward into the hollow and flopped down beside me. It was so quiet out of the wind. I felt exhausted, but kind of thrilled all the same. This seemed a safe place. I looked up at Jamie, feeling the heat in my blood from the overworked engine of my heart and lungs. We grinned at each other. "We made it," Jamie said. I nodded. "Can we eat now?" I asked him. "I'm starving after all that exercise." "Robbie, we've just started. How're we gonna get away if you've got to feed your face every five minutes?" I felt myself blushing, but I could see Jamie was tempted too. He kept shooting quick glances at his school satchel, knowing it was filled with all kinds of goodies he'd pinched from the house after we slipped away from the hotel. It was strange seeing him dressed in his school clothes, with his black armband still on and his hair all neat. We had ditched our new black ties back at the house, but hadn't risked getting caught by taking the time to change our clothes. After...

...Additionally, there are many different types of exit strategies that can be implemented if Zeos as a company were to ever want to shut down. One is to sell the company to the employees. Many companies do this as owners as good faith due to the fact that the employees and management already know what they are doing when it comes to the company. Other form of an exit strategy would be to merge with a different company or get bought out by a larger company. This is done all the time especially with the larger companies. This is because the business owners know that they can make more money by doing so. When companies merge they give up a lot of right for the company and new policies and procedures are implemented to ensure the great success of the company. A lot of small local companies sell their business to a close friend when they are ready to move on with other endeavors. Of course a big micro processing company like Zeos would just liquidate all of their assets and use the money to open up a new business else where but then again they will only get market value for the entire business. In saying that, the other exit strategies are just too risky for a company so the best bet would be to liquidate the entire business. Furthermore, on the findings as Zeos as a company overall, the final recommendation for the company would be to continue the business. This is because South Korea has an ongoing market of technology and it is always rising. With a micro processing company like...

...Three Day Diet Analyrsis My diet was not that much different than that of the recommendations I received from the Food Guide Pyramid. All of my intake numbers were right about where the recommendations are at for my BMI.

Intake: recommendations: GRAINS: 2. 1 OZ 5 OZ VEGETABLES: 1.6 CUPS 2 CUPS FRUIT: 2.1 CUPS 1.5 CUPS MILK: 0.3 CUPS 3 CUPS MEAT AND BEANS: 2.8 OZ 5OZ I can try to modify my diet by eating more meats and beans and drinking and eating more dairy products. I need to add some more grains into the plan as well, but I think that everything else looks pretty good. Some foods that I could add to my diet would be to include meats like steak, potatoes and find out which grains are the best for you. I have to be honest and tell you that we have not been a very healthy eating family until here recently. I have noticed a lot of weight changes in our daughter and in my husband and I feel that it is time to make some sort of change. I have gotten to where I will very rarely fry anything it is either fixed in the Forman Grill or it is fixed in the oven and baked.

...1.Explain the marketing definition of product. Product marketing deals with the several of the "7 P's" of marketing, which are product, pricing, place, promotion, physical environment, process and people. Product marketing, as opposed to product management, deals with more outbound marketing or customer-facing tasks (in the older sense of the phrase). For example, product management deals with the basics of product development within a firm, whereas product marketing deals with marketing the product to prospects, customers, and others. Product marketing, as a job function within a firm, also differs from other marketing jobs such as marketing communications ("marcom"), online marketing, advertising, marketing strategy, and public relations, although product marketers may use channels such as online for outbound marketing for their product. A product market is something that is referred to when pitching a new product to the general public. Product market definition focuses on a narrow statement: the product type, customer needs (functional needs), customer type, and geographic area. Not sure if I understood this one? 2.Would it ever make sense for a firm to offer a new product line that they know would cannibalize an existing line? Explain your answer.

...Building a brand in a business-to-business context is different from doing so in the consumer market due to the nature of buyers In the B2B, buyers are normally another manufacturers While in the B2C, transactions occur between a company and consumers. Cisco has gained new competitors like IBM and Microsoft by entering in a new market. In order to compete against these competitors, Cisco uses the methods of both business to business and the consumer marketing. Currently, Cisco has been selling products to other businesses. B2B markets are generally small markets. Branding in B2B depends on the relationships of many different companies. This is visible in the case study when Cisco developed partnerships with Sony, Matsushita in order to co-brand its modems with Cisco logo to build brand value and recognition. Building a product in a business-to-business or consumer context has lots of differences because of different audience. Cisco launched ad campaign on television to educate the consumers. Ad campaign revealed facts about the power of the internet and to ensure the consumers were receiving the education they needed. When Cisco targeted the business-to-business environment they target people like corporate executives and information technology representatives to sell their products to them. B2C market is product driven but B2B depends on relationships. With the acquisition of Linksys in 2003, Cisco entered into the consumer market. They started offering home entertainment...
