...HALF MARATHON TRAINING SCHEDULES: Prepared by Maurice Ault – UK Athletics Group Event Coach (Speed & Endurance). Introduction: My approach to running has always been to keep it simple. Internationals and super elite runners very often have personal coaches and are able to dedicate their daily lives to running. Most others have to fit training and racing around family, work, education and social constraints. These programmes recognise these constraints and can be modified to suit each individual’s needs and circumstances. Key considerations in training plans: Whatever one’s natural ability may be, and irrespective of age, certain general principles apply. 1. 2. 3. 4. Training should be focused on the reason for running, and racing, in the first place. Training needs to meaningful and related to each person’s natural physical ability. One can continually improve until optimum performance level is reached. Never train when unwell (or injured) – no matter how slight the problem maybe. You will only make the problem worse and delay your return to normal training. 5. Never train in adverse weather conditions. You will only waste time and energy. 6. Quality of training is always more important than quantity. Don’t do ‘junk’ miles. 7. It’s essential to keep a simple training diary noting dates, weather conditions, what training is done & how did you feel during, and after, training. Important elements in training: 1. Training should always include aerobic work, eg making the heart and...

...Chele Lyn, Wong (1770152) Tutorial day/time : Thursday/ 1:30pm Q) Identify the five (5) cultural dimensions stemming from Hofstede’s study. Using examples, explain how two (2) of these dimensions can impact upon international business. Hofstede used extensive data collected by IBM (International Business Machine) to develop four universal dimensions that can be applied across all nationalities. A fifth dimension was added later. 1) Power Distance: “Power distance is the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect that power is distributed unequally.” How readily society expects and accepts inequalities, for example in terms of power, wealth. Besides, how easily do less-powerful members in an organisation accept and expect power to be distributed unequally among individuals. Hofstede found that countries with a low PDI have consultative domestic politics. Conversely, countries with a high PDI index correlates positively with corruption and bribery. PDI describes the way people perceive power differences and acknowledge distance from power and decision making. For example, Brazil have a high score on the PDI index (69 out of 100). 2) Uncertainty Avoidance: “A society's tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity”. It is a extent of formal rules and patterns of life for security. In more emotional cultures, there is a tendency to create rules so that people have a good predictive validity...

...Demonstrative Communication Paper BCOM/275 Demonstrative Communication Paper Communication is often thought as strictly verbal and people tend to forget that they can communicate in different ways rather than verbally. Nonverbal communication is the other half of communication that includes the elements of facial expressions, tone of voice, hand gestures, body language, and the most important element: eye contact. The unique aspect of nonverbal communication is that this type of communication occurs with friends, family, and even strangers. People may not be aware that they are performing any of these actions, as they communicate with people by making unintentional eye contact in passing. Nonverbal communication is also categorized as demonstrative communication. Demonstrative communication between people can be positive as well as effective because people who use proper communication methods are ensuring the speaker that listening is occurring. When used incorrectly, or to be rude or unreceptive to someone else’s message, the results of demonstrative communication will be ineffective and negative for both the sender and receiver. Demonstrative communication, much like verbal communication is broken down into positive, negative, effective, and ineffective. A prime example of how demonstrative communication can be both positive and effective is during a presentation either at school or at the workplace. When the sender of the message, or presenter, is conveying...

...Darnell Clayton Business Report #4 Current Issues in Organizational Leadership July 28, 2011 Mr. Mike Studdard asked us to write a paper about where we think we will be and what our goals are in the next five years. It’s so interesting because instantly I focus on tangible things such as money and nice house. I grew up poor, and not knowing when my next meal was. I had to learn that the meaning of hard work was something that was not a privilege but something that was too be expected. However I grew up in a household where education was never very important. Maintaining a good credit score, finding a nice apartment, and getting a halfway descent tax refund what was my life was about. However when I think about what I want for the next five years, I think about the goal that has driven me for the past few years. I have always said that I wanted to make six figures by the time I was thirty, and I am nowhere near close. Some may find that goal as selfish, but my goal in life has always been to make as much money as possible to help as many people as possible. I have always been comfortable living in an apartment, but I have always said that I wanted to put my mother and my grandmother in a nice house. My grandmother has always wanted a nice kitchen and my mom does some unorthodox things to get money. My goal in life is be exactly the opposite of where I came from but ultimately never forget where I came from. It is astonishing to me how my professor does so...

...The United States Supreme court ruled the Constitution’s Bill of Rights restricted only the powers of the federal and subsequently not those of the states in the case of Barron v. Baltimore in 1833. The petitioner, John Barron, was seeking a ruling against the city of Baltimore. Barron claimed the city had violated his Fifth Amendment rights. “The Fifth Amendment provides that the government may not take private property without just compensation”. Barron alleged that his wharf was too shallow for most boats to dock because of a road construction project. The city had dumped sand and other solid materials into the wharf impeding the water depth. After the first law suit, the state court found the city had deprived Barron of his rights to private property and awarded him $4,500 in damages. This compensation was to be paid by the city. Subsequently, an appellate court reversed the award, Barron appealed to the USSC, to which the case was reviewed in 1833. The opinion of the court was written by Chief Justen John Marshall. The decision upheld that the Bill of Rights delegated no power to the states and was only an application of the Federal Government. At that time, the Constitution was, seemingly, created only to apply to the Federal Government and not for individual states. Some states had drafted their own constitutions; however, Maryland had no law which mirrored the Fifth Amendment. The Supreme Court thus lacked jurisdiction (or power) to hear Barron's case and dismissed it...

...Taylor Vincent IBM 200 Professor Wallace November 18, 2013 Assignment 5 1) After taking this class, and looking at my personality type, I have come to the conclusion that I would like to work for a non-for profit company following college. I think that being passionate about a cause can motivate one to perform better and at a higher caliber then one would work at a desk job that they did not enjoy. These choices are right for me because I enjoy serving and helping people through my actions and service. 2) There are two places that I would like to picture my future job. One is within the big city, Los Angeles, New York.. ect.. Another choice would be over seas and in a third world country. I feel that there are many causes that need help within third world countries and my services may bring help to these places. Possibly helping kids in Africa. Also these companies have headquarters, or people working for them, in major cities across the nation. 3) I would like to work for a not-for profit company that is already started and established and work for them for a few years. Possibly after I have gained knowledge and insight into the ropes of running a not-for profit company I could start my own and help a cause that I fully support and feel needs love. 4) Companies I would enjoy working for. a. Invisible Children- Helping to reduce LRA atrocities b. Amor Ministries- Builds and supplies homes for needy in Mexico c. Project Pomona-...

...I chose to put myself in the role of a Kindergarten teacher. I have selected three high quality books that this age would find appealing. The first book I picked was “I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More”. This book was written by Karen Beaumont. This book can be used in many ways to support intellectual growth. It can be used to support prediction. You can encourage the children to predict by asking open ended questions like “how do you think Mom will feel when she see’s that she painted on the walls” or “where do you think she will paint next”? This book is also great for working on rhyming words and rhythm. The second book I picked is “Wemberly Worried” written by Kevin Henkes. I picked this book for the many activities and conversations you can have within the subject. Two of the ways this book will support their intellectual growth would be in feelings, communication and self-regulation. Most children can relate to being worried. In kindergarten many children are still working on describing and recognizing feelings beyond the basic happy, sad and mad. The third book I would use is “Countdown to Kindergarten” by Alison Mcghee. This book would be wonderful all year but also in the fall when children can relate to counting down to starting Kindergarten. As with the previously mentioned books this book will also support intellectual growth in many ways. With this book you can work on counting and comparing, among other things. Common Core standards that these books could all support...

...I have been in Beijing for one and a half years, and my life only consists of three parts--studying ,working and making new friends.What I get the most is from making friends.. Today, I would like to share you two /three stories about what my friends brings to me. The first story is about how my friends gave me new perspectives Last Saturday afternoon, I paid a visit to Beijing Normal University under the guidance of a friend who studies in that school. My friend showed me around in the school and introduced to me their cafeteria, office building , library and so on. One thing must mention is that she can clearly tell me some details such as all the words entitled in the slogans are written by Qi Gong, the famous Chinese painter and calligrapher. I have a better knowledge of this university. But this is not the point. I realized that it is important to have good communication skills. She also told me that she ever thought how to describe something clearly and specifically to others.In her spare time,she usually tried to describe something she was interested in).In contrast to me, I have never thought about this problem. So this is just the difference between us. Most of the time we think that our school is nothing special and showing your friend around the school is a boring thing. However, if we can make some efforts for it, I believe we will enjoy this visit. She is fond of attending various of lectures. For example,when she get exposed to the writer’s body language...
