...Speech Type Informative Title: Effects of Running PROS Today I am here to share with you the effects of not taking care of your health. What running and working out daily with the right diet and sleep will do for you. Many people are looking for motivation in a bottle or depend on a buddy. What happens when you buddy cancels out on you repeatly. You need to depend on yourself. You can do this you don’t need someone to motivate you it’s all in your head. The spirit of this journey lies in you. You are in control of your own journey. I say all of things due to the mental toughness that running takes. There will be times when your body says stop and your mind says go. You will find out inside yourself what you are capable of. Everyone has limits and goals. You will find out what you can do. There is not drink or gym that will make you motivate yourself to workout unless you do it. Running is hard but it’s mind over body once you train and prepare your body. I do realize the mind and body doesn’t work hand and at times. That’s why you are going to condition yourself to achieve that goal. The input will be hard at first to get into the mode of a healthy lifestyle. On the other side the rewards of a health body are worth more than the struggles to get there. Starting today is the time NOW! Don’t wait for tomorrow and yesterday has come and gone – START RIGHT NOW. In my view running is the best cardio you can do. Running with the proper...

...1. McDonald's " Seniors" Restaurant Question: Evaluate Quinn McMahon's current strategy regarding senior citizens. Does this trip strategy improve this McDonald's image? What should she do about the senior citizen market--that is, should she encourage, ignore, or discourage her seniors? What should she do about the bingo idea? Response: The main focus on seniors has increased the amount of senior citizens within his restaurant. One concern is that most patrons come in and then leave however the seniors will often stay for a longer period of time. In addition, during special events between 100 hundred 50 seniors jam the McDonald's for the special offers and the seniors have steadily increased since then. The seniors often treat the McDonald's as a meeting place and again stay for extended periods of time. Quinn has established a more personal relationship with the senior customers. The senior customers a more polite and neat while dining. Quinn has concern that the restaurant will become quote “old people's” restaurant. Quinn is considering bingo games during slow morning hours which is popular among some seniors and could be a further source of revenue. Quinn's current strategy regarding seniors seems to be a good idea in that he is increasing his sales. He is creating an environment that is friendly and gives an alternative to the typical fast food establishment. I believe that if Quinn continues to market towards his senior group he would continue to increase his profits...

...Jazmine Menees ENGL 110 1/21/2014 My first 5k Shoes hitting the pavement, crowd cheering. Those were the sounds I remember the most while running my last mile. The sounds of other runners panting, and faint music playing from another iPod. In that moment, I knew that I had made a life changing decision. It was a new year, and like most I had a few new years resolutions for 2013. At that time, I'm not sure the word “run” was even in my dictionary. Honestly, the thought of running for longer than 5 minutes made me slightly nervous. Since it was a new year though, I figured I'd give it a shot and sign up for one of the biggest races in Peoria. The steamboat days race. This race will be held in June, just five months from now. Don't get me wrong getting on the computer that day and telling myself I could run that far wasn't easy. I knew it would take everything I had to start every single day by getting up and going for a run. It was winter, snow on the ground, and freezing. Who would want to get up early every morning in the cold for that? I did. I needed to change my clothes, put on my shoes, and just go. While my first days on the treadmill were hard, I had to keep telling myself that I was doing this for the right reasons. I made sure I got up every single day to run at least one mile, and that's when running started to change my life. I started to see changes in my weight, and my clothes fitting loosely on my body. I started to have more energy throughout the...

...Shoe Industry and its Impact to Economy of Marikeno: An assessment Introduction Marikina is known as the biggest manufacturer of quality shoes in the Philippines. The main purpose of the paper is to study about the Economy of the shoe industry in Marikina. Marikina encountered a big problem in the shoe industry with the entry of imported products especially from China. But currently, there are steps being made by the city government of Marikina to relieve its shoe industry, which the Filipinos used to be so proud of, from this crisis and to revive it. Background of the Study Laureano Guevara, known as the “Founder of the Marikina Shoe Industry,” was born 162 years ago today. Born on July 4, 1851, he introduced shoe making in Marikina when he opened his own shop in 1881. At the time of his death on Dec. 30, 1891, there were already 15 household shoe factories in Marikina. Also known as “Capitan Moy,” he also served as capitan municipal in the city. A historical marker honoring him as the “pioneer of the shoe-making industry in Marikina” was installed at his birthplace in 1970. Last year, Marikina disclosed that the symposium is very timely considering that the shoe industry has been in a decline since the year 2000 due to the entry of shoe products from other countries such as China. Before suffering a decline more than a decade ago, Marikina City has more than 1,000 shoemakers, including the popular ones such as "Valentino", "Otto Shoes" and "Rusty Lopez" but the number...

...three direct competitors in the U.S: • Passion Shoes: This is a women's only clothing and shoe store. They have a nice selection of clothing but a poor selection of shoes. The shoe styles tend not to be cutting edge. The price point for the shoes is $30-$120. • Bare feet: This is a large, complete, department store. The store however, suffers from cluttered displays and a general sense of disorganization. Shoes here are $30-$120. • Mia Shoes: This is a national franchise that only sells shoes, for both men and women. This company will sell knock offs, shoes just like name brands, but with their name on it. While this store has a huge selection, the quality of the shoes leaves a lot to be desired. This is somewhat understandable as the shoes typically sell for $13-$50. While the shoes are often good copies of famous brand, the execution is sometimes off. Many of the shoes that are made out of pleather and look like they were dipped in wax, giving them a tacky appearance. An indirect competitor is a shoe smith that will dye shoes. The shoes are typically dyed to match a specific dress. Not all colors can be dyed, and dying in general is not the ideal situation. Dying shoes creates a new shoe color that is acceptable only 20% of the time. The two major competitors in Seattle are: • Nordstrom's: Mid- to high-end department store known for their outstanding customer service. The shoe price point is $60-$300. • Saks: This department store caters to the high class, older crowd...

...ABSTRACT In this paper “The real strategies in shoe manufacturing” we take a look at the reality of a Mexican industry dedicated to shoe manufacturing, with the intention of showing the lack of professional techniques that take place not only in the company studied, which affect the efficiency of the business. THE REAL STRATEGIES IN SHOE MANUFACTURING Nowadays there are many different approaches and methodologies that can be used for industrial systems’ optimization and analysis. Among these techniques are the ones for production and inventory management and industrial plant distribution, which are mainly used for reducing the company’s cost. According to APICS Dictionary, production management consists of “planning, scheduling, executing and controlling the process of converting inputs into finished goods.” In addition APICS Dictionary defines inventory as “those stocks or items used to support production (raw materials and work-in-process items), supporting activities (maintenance, repair, and operating supplies), and customer service (finished goods and spare parts).” (2) For many businesses it is very important to maintain certain number of goods in inventory because their capacity it is not enough to fulfill clients’ orders. Each product in inventory represents money, an investment tied up until finished products are delivered to clients. It is important to select the best techniques depending on the type of industry and the goals of the company. ZEBRA...

...Ballet started Ballet, as we know it today, it began during the Renaissance around the year 1500 in Italy. In fact, the term "ballet" comes from the Italian ballare, to dance. When Catherine de Medici of Italy married the French King Henry II, she introduced early dance styles into court life in France. At first, the dancers wore masks, layers upon layers of brocaded costuming, pantaloons, large headdresses and ornaments. Dance steps were composed of small hops, slides, curtsies, promenades and gentle turns. Dancing shoes had small heels and resembled formal dress shoes rather than any contemporary ballet shoe we might recognize today. The official terminology and vocabulary of ballet was gradually codified in French over the next 100 years. In the video I preformed the basic steps of ballet. First start off with good posture to avoid a strain, stand straight and have your shoulders over your hips. In the 1st position my heels touch with my toes turned out and place my arms in front of me in an oval shape. The 2nd position I move my feet apart and open my arms wide, they should be slightly rounded and in front of me. Now the 3rd position I cross one foot in front of the other, and brought one arm curved in towards me and the other arm to the side. Then the 4th position I placed one foot in front of the other with space between, raised one arm curved above my head and the other out to the side. Finally I finish off with the 5th position by placing one foot exactly in front of...

...Strategic alliances are partership in which two or more companies work together to achieve success in the market that are beneficial for both party. In addition to this point of view, strategic alliance is to obtain the advantage of another company’s innovations without having to invest in new research and development. For example, I am from Balıkesir and in that city we have only one shopping mall which is called Yay/Ada. Yay/Ada carried out some strategic alliance with Balıkesir’s local shoe companies. These shoes companies have an important place for old Balıkesir citizens and have good enough sales numbers. This shopping mall managers come up wtih an idea that they start to sell these shoes in their mall with other well known brand names. Thanks to that These local products can be opened for new customers who is coming from outside of balıkesir to this shopping mall. These local shoes companies is in the centre of the balıkesir and they can not reach to the outsiders because people who is passing from balıkesir can stop in this shopping center can not go and explore the shoes companies at the centre of balıkesir in my opinion. Therefore, It looks like good strategic alliance because they are both benefit from this idea. On the other hand , This shopping mall can consider that we are going to buy those shose companies in order to not pay money more or pay some commission to local shoes companies. Provided that Yay/Ada buy those shops they can produce their own product and can...

...Cori Stuckey English III / Period 5 Mrs. Wegner 25 September 2015 How to Spot a Shopaholic The term “shopaholic” can be used to describe someone that is a compulsive shopper. A shopaholic may be stereotyped as a blonde girl in her early twenties, spending all of her parent’s money. Some may think that shopaholics can only be girls, but they definitely can be guys too. Unopened or tagged items It is best to start your investigation by looking in the suspect’s usually gigantic closet. You will notice that there are unopened shoe boxes. There may also be clothing that still has tags – shirts, shorts, sweaters, pants – who knows! Look for clothes in the bottom of the closet that they have maybe forgot about. Ask the suspected shopaholic if they remember buying these items, and if they hesitate or lie, their favorite things in their closet will start to disappear. Isolation Another good way to spot a shopaholic is to isolate them. Put them in a house for a few days, where they are unable to leave and go shopping. Normal people would usually be fine, but shopaholics get anxious. You have to send them a fake text saying that there is a huge sale at their favorite store. If they are a shopaholic, they will beg to go there and get even more anxious. Social Media Check Everyone knows that shopaholics like to show off the many things they purchase. Social media is a clue to whether a person is actually a shopaholic or not. Look at their Instagram. They usually use captions...

...Cost Leadership | Differentiation | Cost Focus | Differentiation Focus | In today’s competitive environment, success in the footwear retail industry is dependent on having a powerful brand. A company’s brand is largely defined by three major components – image, product, and the company’s people and culture. By successfully addressing these issues, Greene’s can help build brand awareness among consumers and drive profitability for the firm. While marketing budgets are typically 3-8% of a company’s sales, it often is difficult to quantify marketing expenditure benefits and to measure marketing value in terms of after-tax ROI. As a result, many companies are employing new analytical processes and tools that take a comprehensive view across all elements of the marketing universe, from business objectives to customers and events and media. The challenge is to build the brand but also keep the focus on increasing sales and gross margins while maximising the return on marketing capital spent. Analysis and measurement often result in more productive redirection of resources, fewer promotional markdowns or failed events, and more specific targeting of media and distribution strategies. Porter’s Five Forces Supplier Power: Greene’s Shoes relies entirely on sourcing branded footwear. The company does not have long term contract with these sourcing, and thus may subject to risk such as reduction in production capacity and increases in manufacturing costs. Particularly, there...
