...Research Paper Rough Draft: How to become a Neat Nail Technician Looking around the room, I see an array of beautiful shades to choose from. Pastels with deep dark colors of nail polishes are sitting on organized shelves to be chosen. Sometimes a salon will have a strong stench of chemicals, mixed with the sound of nail buffing drills, and chatter too. However, getting a manicure and pedicure is still a relaxing retreat that many women, even men, look forward to. When I was a just a little girl, I became exposed to the art of nail design and a vast selection of polishes throughout the years of my mother’s influence. Painting nails, playing with false nails, and the experience in taking trips to the nail salon with my mother have become hobbies of mine ever since then. Thereafter, I realize that in order to become a professional nail technician, it will take hours of practice and training to obtain your license, and testing your skills in your new workplace. This topic is something interesting that I liked learning about, and I thought it would be great to be able to save money by doing own nails. “As a nail technician or manicurist, you will trim and polish clients' nails, repair broken nails, and apply nail extensions. Additionally, you will assess the...

...I.Study Background A first class canteen which can be tagged as "a place cut above the rest" in the whole campus or even in the city or region was planned to be established in Holy Angel University and was altered as years went by. Holy Angel then established a café instead and HRM practicum students are said to run the facility and make it as their training grounds to practice theories learned from their course. Because of the feasibility studies about a shop inside a campus of some of the students done by two HRM groups, the plan was further strengthened. They named the establishment as Tasa which means cup and the other is Café Holyana for the school’s name and its students. The management did not adopt the ideas of the two groups instead, named it as Cafe Juan to honor the late Don Juan Nepomuceno who is the founder of the University.After months of preparation preceding the construction, procuring the needed equipment, making the menu (costing and pricing) relative to the bought equipment; and other things needed for the operation. On August 28, 2003, Cafe Juan had its soft opening. The establishment has a 100 seating capacity which could be adjusted to 120 depending on function needs. Catering services within the campus is also accepted or provided by Café Juan. Café store hours are from 9:00-7:00pm from Mondays - Saturdays. Café Juan is currently under the supervision of Mrs. Patricia S. Ambrocio, who is directly under Mrs. Gertrude P. Tuazon, currently the dean of the...

...SEMIOTICS ANALYSIS ESSAY Advertisements are a smart tool and technique used to promote and sell various products. Using mass media, it aims to persuade potential consumers that there is a correlation between the brand and a lifestyle or identity, which is considered enviable.(John Berger, Ways of Seeing) Semiotics, a concept developed by Ferdinand de Saussaure is a useful tool for analysing advertisements. However, Hodge and Kress (year and page number) recommended that semiotic analysis could also be used as a manner of understanding communication, including media texts. The essence of semiotics is ‘the science of signs, or the study of signs and sign systems’ (O’Shaughnessy and Stadler, 2009:133). Media images often emphasize hegemonic representations of gender, race and class in the South African context, and in this specific advertisement BIC reinforced an ideology regarding the manner woman should portray themselves. Using semiotics, I will be deconstructing the advertisement and will argue, through drawing on xy’s concept of racial hegemony, that BIC created an advertisement that reinforces gemonic notions of race, class and gender. . ‘The denotative meaning of an advertisement is the most basic component. This is the most obvious meaning of a sign which can be expressed by describing what is directly seen.’ (Gottdiener, 1995:15) In the BIC advertisement, there is a woman that looks approximately 30 years old. Regarding racial classification, this woman is considered...

...specifically, PhD students in NLP and machine learning; however, we hope many of the points are applicable to a wider audience. Where possible, we have indicated when advice is field-specific. Beyond that, the advice is listed in no particular order. No doubt there will be points with which you disagree. That’s totally fine -- there are certainly points about which even we had differing views; however, before you decide to ignore these points, it’s well worth taking the time to understand why we included them. Becoming a PhD Student Why Get a PhD? This question is dealt with extensively in other documents, so we will not discuss it in detail here; however, we want to emphasize the importance of asking this question. Getting a PhD will change your career path dramatically. Not only does getting a PhD mean you will spend years in school (with both personal and financial implications), it will also change the type of career you pursue. While we are both happy we got PhDs, it isn’t the right decision for everyone. Before applying to graduate school, you should think hard about whether this is the right path for you. Some specific points to consider are as follows: 1. You have to really...

...| Research Paper Part 1 – Introduction & Body Paragraphs | EN 1320 | | Anthony Brown | Week 8 | | Myasthenia Gravis (pronounced My-as-theen-a Grav-us) derived from the Greek and Latin words and it means “grave muscle weakness.” Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body ("National institute of," 2012). The prevalence of MG in the United States is estimated to be about 20/100,000 people ("What is myasthenia," 2010). MG is a rare but very serious disease and many people who have been diagnosed do not recognize the symptoms. If detected early, MG can be treated successfully with, if any, very little side effects in the future. Once diagnosed with MG, that person must go through a drastic life change; Enduring rigorous treatments depending on how aggressive the disease has become, possibly undergoing a life threatening surgery, and living with myasthenia gravis for the duration of their life. “Muscle weakness caused by MG progresses as the effected muscle is used repeatedly. Since symptoms typically improve with rest, but your muscle weakness may come and go” (Staff, 2010). The first signs and symptoms of MG are ptosis and diplopia. “Ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid. The lid may droop only slightly, or it may cover the pupil entirely” (What is ptosis?, N.d.). “Diplopia (double vision) is a common subjective complaint, or diplopia may...

... • MUTLI TOUCH TECHNOLGY ( the plural technology) • THE FUTURE OF TOUCHSCREEN TOUCHSCREEN CONSUMERS • REFERENCES ABSTRACT In today’s society, the way in which we physically interact with electronic devices is changing how we focus our technological research. This change has led to many great advances, including the development of touch screen technology. Through the use of touch screen technology, the operator is given an alternative method of how he or she can interact with a device. This technology operates in four distinct ways: Resistive systems, capacitive systems, surface acoustic wave and infrared systems. This paper will investigate, discuss, and compare these different technologies, focusing on the differences in application, aspects of sustainability, as well as the positive and negative qualities. In addition to which this paper will also include the components of touch screen and the science behind it. This paper will also throw light on history of this technology and the successful future of touch screen in coming years. Throughout the past century, technology has improved in many ways. The way in which humans interact with technology is one of the most important ways technology is changing. By using touch screen technology, the user is able to manipulate a digital environment by only the touch of their finger...

...information from point of origin to point of consumption to satisfy customer requirements. A major element of the supply chain is the use of logistics which is the management of the storage and flow of goods, services and information throughout your organisation. Logistics can be broken down into three major elements, Firstly, materials management which is the sourcing and receiving of raw materials or unfinished products for subsequent use. Secondly, material flow system which can be defined as the ability to locate and schedule material through to end production and disposition, and finally the physical distribution which is the delivery of finished goods to customers. The main aim of a supply chain management is to evolve a company’s supply chain into an optimally efficient, customer-satisfying process, where the effectiveness of the whole supply chain is more important than the effectiveness of each individual department. As stated before it is more important to focus on the supply chain management process rather than individual departments, these processes compiles of product design, planning, order management and stock management. When taking supply change management into account it is key to know and understand the customer in terms of your existing customers but also potential...

...Implementing Change in Organizations (Shift Happens) Research Paper MGT6681 Abstract As one of the key lessons in the book Who Moved My Cheese? points out, “change happens”; in fact, change may be the only constant in our lives. Some people thrive on change; others will avoid it at all costs – even if it costs them their livelihood. Because change is one of the major problems causing conflict and dissention in the organization’s most valuable resource, its employees, this paper will review some of the possible causes of resistance to change and how to overcome them. Specifically, this research will focus on these particular aspects of implementing change within an organization: Why change? Who avoids change, and why? How to overcome resistance and implement change. Nothing endures but change. Heraclitus Why Change? Possibly one of the biggest problems with implementing a change in an organization is the fact that employees may view the change as unnecessary. As an example, The Farm Bank case (Brown/Harvey, 2006) illustrates how change can go wrong when it isn’t analyzed for its costs vs. benefits, well-planned – beginning to end, or even needed to begin with. In this case analysis, the CEO decides that the company needs to implement a new MIS program to assist with increased productivity, long-term planning, and decision making. Although he has good intentions, he dives right into the project and even creates a new management position for...

The phenomenon of impulse purchasing has been researched in consumer research as well as for example in psychology and economics since the 1950s. A detailed review and analysis of the literature asserts that there are some unsolved issues regarding the state of knowledge on impulse purchasing behavior. Furthermore, nowadays consumers buy an increasing amount of purchases on the Internet. The current conceptualizations of impulse purchase behavior do not adequately capture impulse purchase behavior over the Internet. Today several researchers have claimed that the phenomenon of impulse purchasing should be examined also in the context of online shopping environment. This article aims to reveal that what attitudes of the customers are the points in question while purchasing on internet in terms of impulse buying. The results of our exploratory research are consistent with our conceptualization, and present a strong base for future research.
