...individuals to aid with energy and alertness. Coffee is hot, aromatic, and considered enjoyable by many. The first documented use of coffee was in the 15th century in the Sufi monasteries in the part of the world that is now Yemen. The Sufis used the beverage to aid in concentration and to keep themselves alert while performing night time devotions. While most will have no problem drinking one or two cups of coffee a day, drinking too much coffee can cause health problems and lead to coffee dependence. Caffeine in coffee is the drug that causes many of the effects of coffee. Caffeine is a stimulant which many people use to wake up in the morning and stay mentally alert throughout the day. Studies show that 30 milligrams or less of caffeine can alter mood and affect behavior and 100 mg per day can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms upon abstinence. The most common withdrawal symptoms: headache, fatigue, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, decreased motivation, irritability, depression, anxiety, flu-like symptoms, and impaired cognitive performance. Students in college, for example, can easily become dependent on coffee. Classroom hours are demanding and students must be alert. College also requires many hours of concentration and focus to complete assignments, and prepare for test. Students must also find time for activities of daily living, and responsibilities other than school. Drinking coffee...

...ATM Case study ATMs have become much more than cash withdrawal machines. The most sophisticated units are now full-service banking channels, offering enormous potential for enhanced service delivery. They are also a much under-used marketing channel. As revenues from interchange and transaction fees decline in many markets, ATM advertising is opening up a potential new revenue stream .ATMs still represent the largest investment by banks in self-service financial distribution so there is an obvious need to generate as a high a return from this investment as possible. At the same time, many Independent ATM Deployers (IADs) face additional cost challenges as a result of high site rentals and a lack of high-profit locations in some markets. Banks are likely to make the most of the time you spend in front of their ATMs. They may use the ATM screens for advertising. The Finance Ministry has issued a notification allowing them to advertise either their own products and services or those of broking firms, mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds on the ATM screen. Going by the notification, banks can squeeze in an advertisement during the seconds (after keying in the amount to be withdrawn, the machine takes a few seconds — 10-20 seconds — to process the request) you wait before the ATM to withdraw cash. “Banks may soon begin charging customers for ATM usage”- The Hindu Business line. This really puts a big question mark on the usage of ATM by Indian customers. India...

...Cash Credit : Overviews Cash Credit is also known as Working Capital .Cash Credit is a facility to withdraw the amount from the business account even though the account may not have enough credit balance. The limit of the amount that can be withdrawn is sanctioned by the bank based on the business cycle of the client and the working capital gap and the drawing power of the client. This drawing power is determined, based on the stock and book debts statements submitted by the borrower at monthly intervals against the security by hypothecating of stock of commodities and/ or book debts. The excess withdrawal of cash is made generally on demand from the customer and the customer has to pay interest on the excess amount he/she has withdrawn. The Cash Credit facility is quite useful to those businesses where cash payment like wages, transportation,cash purchases are to be made and the receivables are not realized in time.

...Lydia has been receiving life sustaining support for over six-months. It is thought Lydia is incapacitated but this has not been confirmed. Her husband is her legal guardian, making him the surrogate decision maker and in accord with the New York Health Care Proxy Law, he has the legal right to make decisions on behalf of his wife. In respect of his wife's wishes, Mr Bevan has asked that life sustaining support be withdrawn. However the decision to withdraw active treatment is not supported by Lydia's mother who believes that Lydia has a chance of recovery. Before the accident Lydia had prepared an advance directive. The advance directive cannot be located, but Lydia has verbally communicated with her husband what her wishes would be, should she ever find herself in such a situation. The laws to be taken into account include the New York's Family Health Care Decisions making Act.(FHCDA) and the New York Health Care Proxy Law. The newly established FHCDA allows for family members to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated patient, irrespective of whether the patient has signed an advanced directive provided that the surrogate decision maker has either direct knowledge of the patient's wishes or will act in the the patient's best interest. However, in this case, Mr. Bevin is also the appointed guardian, which gives him the right to make decisions on behalf of his wife, including the decision to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment, but this right can only be...

...moking tobacco is both a physical addiction and a psychological habit. The nicotine from cigarettes provides a temporary, and addictive, high. Eliminating that regular fix of nicotine will cause your body to experience physical withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Because of nicotine’s “feel good” effect on the brain, you may also have become accustomed to smoking as a way of coping with stress, depression, anxiety, or even boredom. At the same time, the act of smoking is ingrained as a daily ritual. It may be an automatic response for you to smoke a cigarette with your morning coffee, while taking a break from work or school, or during your commute home at the end of a long day. Perhaps friends, family members, and colleagues smoke, and it has become part of the way you relate with them. To successfully quit smoking, you’ll need to address both the addiction and the habits and routines that go along with it. Your Personal Stop Smoking Plan While some smokers successfully quit by going cold turkey, most people do better with a plan to keep themselves on track. A good plan addresses both the short–term challenge of quitting smoking and the long–term challenge of preventing relapse. It should also be tailored to your specific needs and smoking habits. Questions to ask yourself Take the time to think of what kind of smoker you are, which moments of your life call for a cigarette, and why. This will help you to identify which tips, techniques or therapies may be most beneficial...

...after the addiction, or whether they are both affected by a third factor. Sally’s low self-esteem also makes her more vulnerable to peer pressure from her already smoking friends. Bricker’s study found that childhood friends and parents play a great role in the initiation and maintenance of addiction. Sally’s parents also smoke which means Sally was 2 x more likely to become a regular smoker. The Social Learning Theory also tells us that Sally will look at her parents as role models and imitate their smoking. Once the smoking has been initiated, structural changes in the brain happen which plays a part in dependence, cravings and tolerance as the brain adapts to the increased dopamine and nicotine. This means addiction is maintained as withdrawal effects make relapse likely and this combined with her attitude towards smoking, her friends smoking too and her lack of self-esteem makes the addiction hard to quit because she wants to fit in with her friends and doesn’t feel she has the strength to stop smoking on her own, so the addiction is maintained. Sally may also explain her addiction using external attributions such as ‘society demands that I should be thin and smoking decreases my appetite’ which alleviates the problem because it isn’t her fault in this way, so it makes it even harder to stop and may be a reason she initiated smoking in the first place.

...My current organization can leverage the inimitable resources it has firstly by building a conceptual argument. To build an argument such as, my organization has to build a resource-based view that describes what resources are valuable and ultimately creates long-term profits for the organization. According to Colquitt, Lepine, & Wesson (2015), resource-based view is a model that argues that rare and inimitable resources help firms maintains competitive advantage. Those inimitable resources include history with the organization, making numerous small decisions and socially complex resources. To retrieve those resources, a leader in an organization such as a manager should closely examine employees’ behaviors. (Colquitt et al., 2015) states that a number of factors affect performances and commitment include individual mechanisms such as a job satisfaction, stress, motivation, trust, justice, and ethics. Individual characteristics, group mechanisms and organizational mechanisms also factors in on an employee’s performance. One of my co-workers has been employed at the establishment for 5+ years now, and is a great asset and very beneficial at the organization because of her extent of knowledge and history.

...them feel relaxed. Lastly, a small percentage of people believe that smoking helps them lose weight by burning the fat in their bodies. Nicotine Addiction: Why is Nicotine Addictive? Nicotine is addictive because when a person inhales smoke from a cigarette it takes the nicotine chemical 10 seconds to enter the blood, while the nicotine is in a person’s system it increases the release of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters help regulate the mood and behavior of a person; one of these neurotransmitters is called dopamine. Dopamine makes the body feel well and relaxed. Getting that boost of dopamine is a bug part of the addiction process. Withdrawal Symptoms: When a person decides to finally quit smoking, they go through several mental and physical withdrawal symptoms. At first, a person will be very irritable and stressed a couple of days after he/she stops smoking because they are not getting that dopamine boost that keeps them relaxed and happy all the time. Physical symptoms will also start appearing such as headaches, cramps, and headaches. Also, as his lungs to clear up, a person will experience sore throat, coughing and other respiratory...
