Nye 12/1/2013 Speech Outline Gott – SPCH 1010 Introduction – * What is caffeine? * The effects of caffeine intake * Tips for caffeine consumption * Within my discussion, I will weigh both the benefits and detrimental effects of how caffeine can alter the senses, as well as discuss how to assess your caffeine intake against the daily recommended amount of the drug. Body - * Caffeine is a huge part of our daily lives and our intake often reflects our health status. * The drug can often be found in many products throughout our society. * It can often be used in moderation in order to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, and even asthma. (Hensrud, 2010) * This is a major source of alertness, altering mood, and improving concentration. * While safe to use in moderation, the consumption levels of most Americans is often dangerous and can be detrimental to their health. * Insomnia, dizziness, and anxiety are often signs of over-consumption of caffeine. * Those who consume large amounts frequently become addicted and dependent on the drug. * Overdose has been reported from the drug and is a rising concern. * Monitoring and implementing a caffeine-regulating diet is essential through reading nutritional labels and knowing ingredients within the products you consume on a daily basis...

...29 January 2013 Group 3D Duane de Freitas Academic year 2012/2013 Academic English and Skills Semester 1, period 3 Regulations on food and beverage marketing to children Ieva Margevica 10360956 During the last twenty years marketing to children has become a vigorous tendency. As claimed by Schor (2004, p. 21), in 1980s companies used to spend 100 millions of dollars on marketing to kids. Whereas today, according to Eggerton (2007) in Linn’s and Novosat’s (2008, p. 134) research, this number has reached 15 billions of dollars, expended only on food and beverage marketing directed at youth. Additionally, in the last decades, as stated by de Onis, Blossni and Blogher (as cited in Carter, Petterson, Donovan, Ewing & Roberts, 2011), obesity and other health problem rates among kids have been rising along with the marketers’ attention to children. These simultaneously growing processes have led to the debates of marketers’ responsibility related to increasing rates of childhood obesity, diabetes and food preference distortion (Linn & Novosat, 2008, p. 134; Carter et al., 2011, p. 962; Boyland & Halford, in press, p. 1). As acknowledged by Carter’s et al. (2011, pp. 962-968) research, children are a vulnerable and easily persuadable group of society, which should be protected from marketing’s aspirations. In accordance with Boyland and Haford (in press, p. 2), the adopted regulations deviate between countries. With regard to previous studies about...

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind. Writing this type of essay is a good way to learn about all the different perspectives on a topic. Many students use the expository essay to explore a variety of topics, and do so in a wide range of formats, including “process” and “definition”...

It was part of a larger plan to utilize latest information technology to standardize patient and health records, which despite spending 1.6 trillion dollars, attributed to 98,000 medically related errors in 2004. The plan was part of his campaign promise and was reiterated in his January 20...

The last part of the 19th century was a period of great achievements in medicine and endocrinology. The thyroid gland evolved from being considered a rudimentary structure to an organ related to specific diseases. The singular importance of iodine became acknowledged. Graves-Basedow’s disease was described. Surgical treatment evolved with extraordinary speed. Theodor Kocher observed that the clinical picture in patients after total thyroidectomy was similar to the one seen in cretinism. In 1850, the first case of hypothyroidism or myxedema was described. Less than 50 years later, effective treatment was introduced. Another 50 years later, autoimmune thyroiditis was ascertained as the most frequent cause of hypothyroidism (in areas with no iodine deficiency). This paper gives...

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...
