...Both magazines categorise their audiences in different ways but a main factor is content. Content on ‘Mens Health’ clearly indicates a male audience; this is done by numerous masculine ways. One of which is the use of image, normally a masculine figure on the magazine, in my specific magazine edition it is a UFC fighter centralised in a fighting pose. This conveys masculinity and appeals to the average man to want to look like and the want to be tougher. This is categorising the audience to people who want to change or improve their body. Terms such as ‘best’ are repeated on the cover, which we can see using Young and Rubicon’s 4C’s table that the category ‘aspirer’ would fit in perfectly for this. A person who wants nothing but the best; this is reinforced immediately with terms such as ‘instant results’ which also apply to that category. The purpose of the magazine is not only to try and get people to buy it, but to believe in what they are selling and that the magazine can change your life physically and mentally. Exaggeration is used in the magazine heavily, with phrases like “Get NASA IQ”, which is absurd to think that...

...Life Styles Inventory Janessa Herron JDH2891@aol.com MGMT 591 Leadership & Org Behavior Dr. Kimm July 15, 2012 As indicated by the Life Style Inventory assessment, I scored in the highest percentiles for humanistic encouraging, achievement, and self-actualization. The three of these categories scored 40 and ranked in the 99th percentile, these would be considered my primary thinking styles. My secondary style is the affiliate style, which received 38 and ranked in the 93rd percentile. Pertaining to the 12 o’clock position, self actualizing, I feel that I relate to this style, however it is not the style I self identify with the most. Per LSI description, Self-Actualizers are effective because they seek possibilities in all opportunities. It also states that I have a strong concern for self-development, strong instincts & intuition, and I have an energetic and exciting approach for life. The achievement style is another style that I can relate to, but do not self identify with. I feel as though I have a personal need to be the over achiever; Especially in the academic world. I also like to have things in order, I lead by example as the descriptions say. Humanistic encouraging is the 1 o’clock position. This is the style that I scored high on and feel I can self identify. The LSI description says that I have a concern for the growth and development of others as well as nurturing side. I fully agree with this. I feel this allows me to better my relationships...

...is to represent all products in a store in a catalog, either in a print format, or in case of online store, an electronic catalog. To simplify the catalog building process and customer browsing of a catalog, products are often classified into categories where similar products that share common attributes are in one broad category. An example would be footwear, where each product in this category shares some common attributes like size, material, color, gender (male, female, or children), and then can have more specialized sub-categories like sports footwear. Another example would be an appliances category where all have more specialized sub-categories like sports footwear. Products share common attributes as an operating voltage, color, energy consumption, dimensions (height, width and length), and further have some special sub-categories like refrigerators. An online store would be interested with categorizing its products to be able to add new products efficiently, as it would only need to add the new product to its sub-category and specify values for its attributes that were defined in the product subcategory and all the parent categories. Therefore, re-using previously defined attributes for a product category. A typical customer would be interested with selecting a product based on certain attributes, like selecting a stainless steel refrigerator, and then to compare on other attributes like getting...

...subcategory by giving examples of each. These categories are given the acronym STEPPS, which stands for social currency, triggers, emotion, public, practical value, and stories. Berger explains these six categories in depth. It was really interesting to see why people do what they do. While reading these examples, I realized that we go through everyday life trying to make ourselves look good whether it would be the way we dress or changing our personality. Berger allowed his audience to put a name to each category and demonstrated with examples, which made it very clear to understand. I really enjoyed the book because I felt Berger had a great sense of humor. He would link a small quote to each category that really stuck with the reader. I think overall this helped contribute to a better grasp on the information. For the public category, he said, “monkey see, monkey do” which I felt was the perfect description. If people start wearing yellow live strong bracelets, you obviously can’t be the person without one, hence you almost feel obliged to purchase one. What I took away from this book is being able to look at these examples and categories from a business point of view. As a consumer I definitely feel more informed with why things actually do catch on, but as a business student I feel that I now understand how business may be able to use these concepts to increase their efficiency. This book gave me insight on how businesses can use these categories especially in their marketing department...

...ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY A Model Theory for Generic Schema Management Models Kinan M Al Haffar UM4699SIT10550D 07/08/2007 Abstract The core of a model theory for generic schema management is developed. This theory has two distinctive features: it applies to a variety of categories of schemas, and it applies to transformations of both the schema structure and its integrity constraints. A subtle problem of schema integration is considered in its general form, not bound to any particular category of schemas. The proposed solution, as well as the overall theory, is based entirely on schema morphisms that carry both structural and semantic properties. Duality results that apply to the two levels (i.e., the schema and the data levels) are established. These results lead to the main contribution of this paper: a formal schema and data management framework for generic schema management. Implications of this theory are established that apply to integrity problems in schema integration. The theory is illustrated by a particular category of schemas with object-oriented features along with typical database integrity constraints. 1 Introduction This paper presents the core results of a model theory for generic schema management, by which we mean schema and database transformation capabilities that are independent of a particular data model. Such transformations require major database programming tasks, such as integrating source schemas when building a data warehouse...

...1. How should the Company determine whether an inventory impairment exists at September 30, 2002? More specifically, how should management evaluate impairment? The company should not try to evaluate impairment under the lower of cost or market method on a total inventory basis. PIGS must focus on trying to give an understandable and complete view of the company. As there are different category of inventory with different market prices and different cost, PIGS should first determine if there is inventory impairments at September 30, 2002 under lower of cost or market method inventory categories. Farmer Joe could separate its production into two categories: internally developed categories and hogs produced and sold to third parties. In case of a material effect where costs would be unable to recover, investors would like to have the possibility to find impairments. Therefore lower of cost or market method should be applied to individual category as they will be more significant for investors. Given the fact that PIGS has both internal and external production, grouping the category into one inventory could be misleading to investors analyzing financial statement. 2. If the company determines that an impairment of inventory is necessary, should the impairment be recognized in an interim period if prices are expected to recover before year-end? As Farmer Joe believes that the fall in price is due to seasonal fluctuation, he as to report the impairment at an interim period...

All rights reserved. Taking a new consumer goods category from zero to 100 in no time flat Branded edible oils in Sudan, soy fruit drinks in Brazil, isotonic drinks in Indonesia. Five years ago, these categories were barely on the radar in these countries. By 2011, they ranged between $400 million to $890 million in revenues in these markets, generating significant profits for the companies that took the initiative to introduce them. Emerging markets may be expanding at a record-setting pace, but many also are undergoing rapid category consolidation. It’s to the point where, in many cases, the top three to five players now control the lion’s share of a category in any given market. Consolidation can slim margins for incumbents and limit opportunities for new players. That leads...

It went on viral during July and august 2014. Challenge encourages nomination of other kith and kin’s to do the same within 24 hrs. Methodology: Data Preprocessing: From the given data all redundancies were cleaned up. By using vector source in Corpus, we cleared punctuation marks, numbers, converting all the words into a single case (as it is casesensitive), removing stop words which do not make sense in the sentence, stripping out whitespace and http links were removed. Clearing all this unnecessary data, we get the content which makes actual sentiment overall in each post/tweet. Data Analysis: The overall sentimental score was developed using an algorithm which contains 7 liker scale using R tool by considering the standard Positive and negative words. Categorical analysis was performed using excel based API developed on the NLP algorithm used by Semantria to get individual categorical analysis as to how the emotions and trend was The statements were split into words and un-listed the results in a list of words. Matched these un-listed words to the Positive master list and this returns the indices of all the matched words. The attempt made here is...

...In order to evaluate a person we form an impression of them. You pay attention to different things about the person such as their appearance and behavior. By paying attention to these things you are able to make an assessment of what kind of person they are. If you pay attention to their clothes, gestures, speaking, body build and facial features you are able to put them into one of your categories. As you get to know the person you add information about them to your mental file. This helps to evaluate what type of person they exactly are or aren’t. These factors play a large role in how our expectations of other people are. Once you find the type of people you like to be around you tend to stick to that type of person or category. When you meet new people you compare them to this type of person or category. Then you are able to tell if they will fit in or if they will not fit in the category. It also helps to keep you from feeling uncomfortable around people that do not fit into your category. Also you hold people to these expectations whether it is funny, driven, smart, etc.. You will continue to compare people to it to see if they match. There could actually be a lot of disadvantages to these expectations. If you do not take the time to get to know someone and just base your impression on meeting them once or twice you could be losing out. You will not get the chance to meet someone new or different. They could have a lot to offer in a friendship. You could miss...

...identifies and characterizes the types of impact categories that a system disruption is likely to create in addition to those identified by the FIPS 199 impact level, as well as the estimated downtime that the organization can tolerate for a given process. Impact categories should be created and values assigned to these categories in order to measure the level or type of impact a disruption may cause. An example of cost as an impact category is provided. Organizations could consider other categories like harm to individuals and ability to perform mission. The template should be revised to reflect what is appropriate for the organization. Outage Impacts Impact categories and values should be created in order to characterize levels of severity to the organization that would result for that particular impact category if the mission/business process could not be performed. These impact categories and values are samples and should be revised to reflect what is appropriate for the organization. The following impact categories represent important areas for consideration in the event of a disruption or impact.
