...A united university through sports is often a rarity. College football can be one of the most intense experience in college sports. The passion and energy is nearly impossible to encapsulate into a single feeling. Sports teams and their fans share a bond that cannot be recon with. The colleges with prestigious athletic backgrounds have a numerous alumni who carry pride into every game day. A lot of fans equal a lot of fun, but attending an school with diehard fans is best part of college sports. College football has gained the reputation for becoming the most celebrated sport. The best way to celebrate a college football game is tailgating. Tailgating and college football have become such a tradition that it is hard to see one happening without the other. Tailgating is a legendary activity that I could not wait to participate in. Surprisingly enough, I was able to find my way onto the tailgating scene for the University of Georgia football game. They were facing University of Tennessee which was a big rivalry in the south. Both of these teams compete in the South Eastern conference, also known as the SEC. The rivalry brought a lot of excitement around campus which meant heavy tailgating. I was brought up to speed on the tailgating by a Georgia alumnus. Thomas was the perfect person to give me the ultimate tailgating experience. Having no previous knowledge on the topic of tailgating, it was surprising to me that tailgating is a detailed process that started days before the...

...Michael Tjuatjadarma ESL 5/ Mrs. Goodwin Research Paper/ Essay #3 03/30/2012 Obesity in the U.S.A. Thirty years ago, most of the people in United States lived healthy and almost everyone managed to keep their ideal weight. Children got their selves to school on foot, played and ran around during break time, participated in gym classes, and did after school activities like playing sports or joining clubs. Their parents cooked homemade meals for them with substantial portions of fruits and vegetables. These meals did not contain artificially hydrogenated oils, or any other of the processed chemicals you find in the food today. They rarely ate fast food or snacked between meals. Today, kids have a very dissimilar lifestyle experience. Their parents drop them off at school by car. Gym classes, after school sports, and clubs have been significantly cut. After school, they are playing video games, surfing the Internet, and watching television. Parents do not have time to cook, so they often buy fast food. Kids are snacking around three times a day, which could add hundreds, even thousands of calories to their diet. The portions of the meals are two to five times bigger as compared to thirty years ago. As far as beverages go, they are now becoming more and more sweetened. According to Michelle Obama’s website http:// www.letsmove.gov/, studies show that, “we are eating 31 percent more calories than compared to thirty years ago; including 56 percent more fats and oils, and 14...

...Group Behavior within St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Throughout our society there is defiantly a lot of categorizing of people. Rather it is in schools, friendships, sports, religious groups or within organizations everyone belongs to a group. “Being able to understand the dynamics of group behavior allows one to manage individuals and groups more effectively in a workplace.” (Losh, 2011) Throughout this paper will see how St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital came about and how teamwork and trust has kept this organization together. However we will also examine the problems within their group behaviors that could impact their group productivity and some recommendations to resolve these problems. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is one of the only hospitals in the world that is fully a not-for-profit organization. From the very beginning this organization was built on teamwork and trust. Without knowing the history of this organization and how it was created it would be hard to understand why teamwork and trust was and is so important. Danny Thomas was the founder of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 1962. (AboutUs, 2013) St. Jude’s was developed after keeping a promise during one of his prayers to the St. Jude Thaddeus. (AboutUs, 2013) At this time his life he was a young struggling actor just trying to make it big. He was big on religion and always prayed to the St. Jude Thaddeus during good times and bad times asking for help and guidance in...

...Kelsey Squiers PP&D 212 March 14, 2014 University of California Biking Proposal – Environmental Impacts Background In the spring of 2013, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) was ranked by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), one of the most respected bicycle advocacy associations in the country, as a Silver level bike-friendly university. The LAB’s ranking system is based on five “E” aspects (engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation). A Silver ranking means that UCI “[d]efinitely feel[s] welcoming to bikes but there is still usually work to be done in two or three of the “E”s to undergird the bicycling culture and opportunities” (bikeleague.org). While UCI provides sustainable transportation incentives, has some infrastructure for biking, a bike-rental program, and is home to a few bike-enthusiast clubs, the campus is falls short in three of the LAB’s “E”s: Engineering, Education, and Encouragement. Engineering: There are three types of bicycle routes on the UCI campus. These include dedicated bicycle paths, pedestrian/bicycle shared paths, roads with bike lanes, and a small number of sharrows (located on the roads within housing complexes). Currently, there are only three distinct sections of the UCI campus that have dedicated bicycle lanes, which are all located on the outskirts of campus. The most commonly used bike path within the UCI campus is a mixed pedestrian/bicycle path encircling Aldrich Park. Roads with bike lanes make...

...an earlier draft are greatly appreciated: Sridhar Balasubramanian, Dick Blackburn, Paul Bloom, Ed Cornet, Ely Dahan, Abbie Griffin, Steve Hoeffler, Erin MacDonald, Jackki Mohr, Bill Moore, Vithala Rao, Allan Shocker, and Gal Zauberman. Introduction Touted as the “most significant category innovation since toilet paper first appeared in roll form in 1890,” dispersible (flushable) moist toilet tissue on a roll was introduced in the United States by Kimberly Clark in 2001. According to a corporate press release, Cottonelle Fresh Rollwipes was a breakthrough product that “delivers the cleaning and freshening of pre-moistened wipes with the convenience and disposability of toilet paper.” Internal market research seemed to indicate that there was a clear customer need for a new product to supplement dry toilet paper. Surveys and focus groups revealed that over 60% of adult consumers had experimented with a moist cleaning method (e.g., using baby wipes, wetting a washcloth, sprinkling water on dry toilet paper) and one out of four used a moist cleaning method daily. Kimberly Clark made the obvious connection that a majority of US consumers found dry toilet paper to be limited for their real needs. Convinced that there was a huge market opportunity for a more convenient product that addressed this consumer need for a cleaner and more refreshing bathroom tissue, Kimberly Clark obtained more than 30 patents on a new product and dispenser and invested...

...The bilateral relations between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh are influenced by the fact that Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan from 1947 to 1971, when it achieved independence after the Bangladesh Liberation War and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. As part of historical Shimla Agreement, India sought to make sure that Pakistan would take steps to recognize Bangladesh. Pakistan sought China's help in blocking Bangladesh's entry into United Nations until 1974. Behind the scene India rallied behind Bangladesh to help gain international recognition. By end of March 1973, approximately 99 countries had recognized Bangladesh.[1] Pakistan eventually recognised Bangladesh in 1974. History Liberation war and independence After the partition of British Indian Empire by the United Kingdom in 1947, Bangladesh was integrated in Pakistan which was known as East Bengal until 1955 and thereafter as East-Pakistan following the One Unit program. Bilateral relations between the two wings grew strained over the lack of official recognition for the Bengali language, democracy, regional autonomy, disparity between the two wings, ethnic discrimination, and the central government's weak and inefficient relief efforts after the 1970 Bhola cyclone, which had affected millions in East Pakistan. These grievances led to several political agitations in East Bengal and ultimately a fight for full independence. In March 1971, the Pakistan Armed Forces began...
