...Referring to a stretch of coast you have studied, explain how and why some coasts are under threat from economic development (10 Marks) Some coasts such as Southampton could be considered under threat from economic development due to the fact it is extremely reliant on nearby industries, but has an extent biodiverse environment. Southampton is known to have advantages for industry as it is sheltered from storms in the English Channel, deep water for large ships and lots of flat land for development. However there is a large amount of pressure on Southampton, the majority of the pressure being based around Southampton’s water; along its western edge is a large area of salt marsh where industrial development has taken place for Fawleys oil refinery. The oil refinery is the largest in the UK, located on the Solent because it is convenient for tankers travelling to and from Europe. Although this is a large advantage for Southampton, the oil refinery causes problems and potentially causes threat to the coast as it damages it in many ways; mainly from oil spills. Oil spills, such as the one that occurred in October 1989, suffocate the surrounding environment by poisoning the food chain, blocking sunlight from sea vegetation and ruing the natural habitat. Moreover, as a secondary affect, it was reported that cleaning the spill can actually cause further damage to the environment. Metal pollution is a problem in Southampton water also. The paints that are used to stop organisms such...

...(increased stress) effects of stretch goals? Setting goals is part of organizational life and a powerful way to keep employees aligned and clear about expectations. But how tough should the goals be? How high should you set the bar? Some leaders like to set goals at a low to moderate level, based on the concept that they want everyone to be successful. They believe that success increases employee motivation and satisfaction. A second approach is to set the goals fairly high, expecting that a good portion of the employees will achieve them, but everyone has to work pretty hard to be successful. The third approach is to make the goals so high that only the very best performers might attain them, but not too often. This is based on the premise that if you set the bar really high then everyone will work their hardest to go as far as they can. However, stretch goals can have a tradeoff between the positive and negative effects. On the positive side, it can increase high work performance since it enables employees to reach their fullest potential. Sometimes employees find stretch goals very motivating and make it a challenge to attain it, because managers generally attach incentives such as recognition and other forms of rewards for attaining these goals. Nevertheless, stretch goals also have negative effects and this is the stress that employees go through when unrealistic goals are set by managers. Goals should be challenging and require a stretch - but employees should be able...

...“Stretch U is a fitness company committed to delivering systematic stretching techniques that are affordable, time-saving, and endorsed by healthcare professionals.” (Meyer, 2012) Stretch U is a fairly new company that opened in October of the year 2010. At that time, there was only one store opened in the area and since then, the company has rapidly grown. In May of this year, Stretch U purchased a trademark and decided to become a franchise company. There are now stores in amongst three different states, as well as several stores in Oklahoma. Being an employee with the company before this was the case; I have seen an immense change in the use of management information systems. Even when the company consisted of only one store, management information systems were being utilized, but as the company grew larger, and expanded throughout different states, the use of information systems have become a vital source in the success of the company. According to Wallace, businesses use information systems primarily for transaction processing, human resources management, customer relationship management, collaboration, corporate training, and financial modeling; manufacturing processes, supply chain management, customer support, and all the other processes along the value chain (Wallace, 2013, p. 77). By managing data and information efficiently with different software, Stretch U has and will continue to benefit in several ways, such as, improving performance, reducing costs,...

...“Stretch marks (striae) are pink, red or purple indented streaks that often appear on the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, buttocks and thighs and eventually fade to white or gray.

...Strategy as Stretch and Leverage 06/05/2016 14:29 INNOVATION Strategy as Stretch and Leverage by Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad FROM THE MARCH–APRIL 1993 ISSUE G eneral Motors versus Toyota. CBS versus CNN. Pan Am versus British Airways. RCA versus Sony. Suppose you had been asked, 10 or 20 years ago, to choose the victor in each of these battles. Where would you have placed your bets? With hindsight, the choice is easy. But at the time, GM, CBS, Pan Am, and RCA all had stronger reputations, deeper pockets, greater technological riches, bigger market shares, and more powerful distribution channels. Only a dreamer could have predicted that each would be displaced by a competitor with far fewer resources—but far greater aspirations. Driven by the need to understand the dynamics of battles like these, we have turned competitiveness into a growth industry. Companies and industries have been analyzed in mind-numbing detail, autopsies performed, and verdicts rendered. Yet when it comes to understanding where competitiveness comes from and where it goes, we are like doctors who have diagnosed a problem—and have even found ways to treat some of its symptoms —but who still don’t know how to keep people from getting sick in the first place. We can analyze companies in mindnumbing detail, perform autopsies, and render verdicts, but we are still addressing https://hbr.org/1993/03/strategy-as-stretch-and-leverage Page 1 of 24 Strategy as Stretch and Leverage ...

Stretching out on a daily basis is recommended, it can even be done multiple times during the day. She can stretch at any time of the day, if its morning, evening, night or when you are just feeling stiff and want to relieve tension. Before working out she may want to do some type of stretching during her warm-up and then again during her cool down, this will help prevent soreness. Stretching may be a good way to relax the body. Intensity: When it comes to stretching, she wants to stretch to the point of controlled tension or having someone else helps her. To maintain or improve flexibility, the muscles in the legs and back must be elongated beyond their normal movement patterns. This should be done in a slow, controlled manner, of holding each stretch just beyond the point of tension. Time: Each stretch should be held for 10 to 20 seconds or longer, depending on how sore she may feel or tight the muscle is when it is time to stretch out. When stretching, she should pause in between stretching,...

...tense up with all their might to stop you going any further. You have to admire the little buggers because they are only trying to protect you but the fact is your own muscles deliberately stop you from doing what you want to do. So what’s the answer? It is simple all you have to do is learn to control muscular tension so that you can delay and eventually stop your muscles from contracting. How do you control muscular tension?

...There are internal and external influences that have an effect on flexibility. Internal influences are: The type of joint (some joints have restricted mobility), bone structures (that have limit movement), the elasticity of muscle tissue (scar tissue that has torn through previous injury), ligaments (minimal elasticity), tendons (should not stretch) skin (limited elasticity) and finally body temperature (joints and muscles offer more range of motion when they are warm). The external influences are: The room temperature, the stage of the recovery process of a joint of muscle after an injury, age (pre-adolescents are generally more flexible than adults), the commitment to achieve an increase in flexibility and finally the restriction of any clothing items or...
