...really enjoy reading this week and I will fallow the advise, it is how to maintenance my weight. Every time I read magazines, online articles, books and even TV show, I try to fallow their advice on how to drop those pounds that bothering me or how to keep a healthy balance on exercise. However I always fail. According to our text book successful weight-loss maintenance could be difficult because the stress management or because time. Stress many times lead us to reach for empty calories food moreover sometimes it is difficult to keep with time when people have such a busy schedule to do those exercise that will help in the long run to loose weight or keep us fit. I have a good friend that he always carries healthy snacks, and every time he will take the stairs, or park very far so he can have his walk for the day. I wonder why I can’t do it too? And I found the solution, reading our chapters this week I understand that the environmental influences play a big role on my problem in this case of keeping me fit or without those pounds. It was very interesting to learn that when we are in surroundings for eat a snack or a meal with lighting, aromas, décor, and sounds we ether eat more or less depending on how is our environment. Another environmental influences that caught my attention were package and portion sizes. It is true that when by those bags of potatoes that we love if we eat from the bag we tend to eat more than if we just measure a small portion in a small plate or other...

...sleeping bag, and it is also very useful as a full body snowsuit. There are different selkbag designs, such as Lite, Realtree® Xtra® (camouflage), and Star wars. The Selkbag was created in 2006 by Rodrigo Alonso, as part of a family of innovative, fun, and highly useful products. The name Selkbag was inspired by the Selk'nam natives of Tierra del Fuego, Chile, people who dressed sparingly despite the cold climate of Patagonia. Selkbag is a snowsuit and sleeping bag mixed into one, that allows for ease of mobility while sleeping, warmth during the day and night, and less things to carry for a traveller. I have created a Selkbag brand logo, shown to the right, that consists of the letters SB, which stand for Selkbag. The letters are in gold because it shows how Selkbag is the very best of its kind. Also, I have created a slogan for the Selkbag brand, “Winter made easy.” I made this the slogan because of all the...

...The two stories, “The Medicine Bag” and The Apache Girl, presented two different rites of passages. Even though they are two different rituals, they have some similarities. In “The Medicine Bag”, Grandpa traveled a long way to see Martin just to pass on the medicine bag tradition before he dies. During the Lakota rite of passage, the oldest male in the family will receive the medicine bag. In The Apache Girl, Dachina went through a long ritual to become a strong woman, and get her woman name, which was Morning Star Feather. During the Lakota rite of passage, the oldest male in the family will receive the medicine bag. First, the person who currently has he medicine bag will travel to the person they are passing it to. After arriving, he must give the bag to the oldest male child in he family. Lastly, the child must remove two things from the bag and replace them. After the bag is the child’s, he must never open it until its time to pass it on again. During the Apache rite of passage, thirteen-year-old girls will participate in the ritual that will transform them into strong women. Their family members will create medicine for them, and make sure they get enough sleep and enough to eat before the ritual. The ritual begins with the rising of the morning star. Before joining the girls, Dachina...

... Kelley said, communication is the biggest key in being a leader. Kelly, who previously served as CFO, is an accountant by trade. When he became chairman and CEO, he said he found it to be very different than being a financial technician. I think that Gary Kelly is a very good leader because he listens to what his employees have to say and really values their opinion. I don’t think many CEO’s can say that. He knows that in running a successful company, one has to keep employees happy and make them keep wanting to work. Employees are the backbone of your company, they are the ones who keep the company going; sure the executives have to make some big time decisions but for the most part the employees help run the company. Gary Kelley has kept Southwest traditions by the low fares and great customer service. That is what made Southwest what it is today. He then made a decision that I think changed Southwest in the best way, by making bags fly for free. All of the other airlines make you pay to check a bag. This new strategy greatly gained them customers. Southwest has always been known for its point-to-point flights, but in recent years airports like Houston Hobby and Dallas Love Field have become de facto hubs. Southwest had evolved over the years, it flies longer routes, it flies...

...acted out on a Friday March 27, 2015. I started my day out like I typically do. Prepped myself for heading to the gym. I start my workout around 9am and it can last anywhere between 45 to 70 minutes. On this day I did my usual strength-training exercises which lasted about 45 minutes. I was too excited and could not wait and act out my behavior. I headed to my locker, grabbed the BIG bag of chips and headed to the cardio room. I eye-balled the empty treadmill between two people. I felt very nervous because this is not what people do at the gym. More than that, I do not like sticking out of the crowd. As I approached the machine with my music still running through my earbuds (this was more to motivate me to keep up with this act) I jumped on the machine. I set the treadmill to a walking setting and cracked the bag of Doritos® open and began to munch away. The first minute or-so I was absorbed with my nervousness and did not pay much attention to anything or anyone that was not attached to my machine. I was already in the act so I finally started to look around nonchalantly while eating my chips and somewhat rocking out to the music while exercising. I noticed the two people next to me were trying to not give me attention. But curiosity is something that over-rides many impulses. I began to really feel more comfortable with this act. The lady next to me glanced at me and I made eye contact. I gave a head nod and gestured with my bag as to ask, “Do you want some?” She actually responded...

...Composition I 30 October 2014 The True Price for Plastic Did you know that plastic bags are one of the largest sources of litter in the world? According to research discussed on “How Stuff Works”, plastic bags can take anywhere from two hundred to a thousand years to break down. They also give off toxic chemicals when burned, so burning is a hazardous way to rid of the material. Because of this it is difficult to safely dispose of plastic. According to the same site, less than 1% of plastic bags used in the US are recycled due to recycling costs being much higher than the recovered plastic is worth. States are attempting to find new strategies to reduce the number of plastic carry-out bags from grocery stores and other retail outlets to help with the issues arising. They believe regulating the use of bags can lower harmful impacts to oceans, rivers, lakes and the wildlife that inhabits them. Reducing bag use can also relieve pressure on landfills and waste management. One of the methods being experimented with is charging for the plastic bags given out at grocery stores. This is definitely something stores should try to help out both economically and environmentally. Economically, charging for plastic could help the world in a few ways. It would profit the community, it would put more money into recycling as more people buy reusable bags, and it could cut costs on manufacturing these bags, making it possible to put money elsewhere. Charging for plastic would create an extra...

...time in my life since I am unemployed, and I have been for three years, so I choose to write about money management, due to the fact that, that is the biggest challenge I am facing on a daily bases. As the head of my household, and being a single, parent is has been difficult to take care of my son, who is growing and is in need of clothes, from underwear to shoes, and since this is the beginning of a new school year it is a little more difficult, because I cannot afford to purchase him any new clothes for him. I have to struggle to pay rent for our home and utilities (gas, lights, and water). I do receive a check from the Family service’s agency that is four hundred dollars a month for the two of us and I try to stretch that as far as I can, which is very challenging. I have to decide which bill to pay for the month and manage the other’s until I can get my hands on more money. I have had to sell some of my furniture just to make it through to the next payment comes in from the family services. Going for help was a very difficult moment for me being that I consider myself very independent and self sufficient. Efficient use of money can increase my goal to own a business one day.

...Mom had the day off because she wanted to stay home and help with our family business. When I woke up I felt very sluggish and sick to my stomach. Mom told me just to try to make it through the day, and to go to the nurse if it got any worse. When I went to school I tried my best to still be positive and said it was just a bug and kept doing my work. I went to lunch just like always, but I didn’t really have an appetite to eat. I put my lunch back in my bag and continued to talk to my best friend to keep my mind off of not feeling well. We went back to class and finished the rest of our day. I packed up my bag, slid my jacket on and walked to the bus to go home. I went to my normal seat and found that my seat partner went home so I had the seat to myself. I set my bag on the seat and put my head on it. I picked my feet up and curled up on the remainder of the seat. The bus started moving and I dozed off after the first stop. My best friend,...

...Sheep, many people when they think of sheep they usually think of big animals with wool on them. Well in the business we run, the lambs we raise are not for wool and meat. These lambs I raise have muscle, a tremendous amount of leg hair called “shag”, and they are always clipped all the way down to there skin. These lambs are called Club Lambs, and they are used for showing at fairs and enormous shows all around the states. Club lambs are not cheap, well for the favorable ones. Club lambs can run from $1,000 to $35,000, and that's just for the ones that people show. It is a risky business to get into, because of all the money spent and on the line with animals that can get sick and die the next day. The life goal for me is to be raising club lambs and farming.

...be talking about my choosing products segmentations. Segmentation refers to a process of dividing a large unit into various small units which have more or less similar or related characteristics. Market segmentation is a marketing concept which divides the complete market set up into smaller subgroups involving consumers with a similar taste, demand and preference. One market segment is totally distinct from the other segment. A market segment contains of individuals who think on the same lines and have similar interests. The individuals from the same segment respond in a similar way to the fluctuations in the market. Basis of Market Segmentation Gender The marketers divide the market into smaller segments based on gender. Both men and women have different interests and preferences, and thus the need for segmentation. Organizations need to have different marketing strategies for men which would not work in case of females. A woman would not purchase a product meant for males. The segmentation of the market to include gender is important in many industries like cosmetics, footwear, jewellery and apparel industries. Age Group Division on the basis of age group of the target audience is also one of the ways of market segmentation. The products and marketing strategies for teenagers would be different than kids. Age group (0 - 10 years) - Toys, Nappies, Baby Food, Prams Age Group (10 - 20 years) - Toys, Apparels, Books, School Bags Age group (20...

Some turn to helping non-profits to raise awareness of their products... ...Big Skinny, on the other hand, went at it in a BIG way, erecting a 21 foot by 10 foot wallet right in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. Guinness World Records quickly crowned it the World's Largest Wallet. Several not-for-profits benefitted from this unique fund-raising vehicle to remind holiday shoppers to help the poor and others in need. Day after day, representatives of these groups told about their worthy causes and collected donations. Each group had its own pocket in the giant wallet. "Our hope is that the big crimson wallet urges folks to open their wallets to help address the needs of the underserved community," says Alexandrov, who also arranged for the Big Skinny website to stream live videos from historic Harvard Square of all those who participated. Those groups served include the Jose Mateo Dance Theatre, Salvation Army, Pediatric Aids Treatment Solutions, Harvard Square Homeless Shelter, Old Cambridge Baptist Church, Solutions at Work, Earthen Vessels, Molecular Frontiers, Cycle Kids, Cambridge Arts Council and Medulla Thyroid Cancer Research at John Hopkins. The Big Skinny Wallet, conceived by Alexandrov, solves the top five wallet problems.
