...Culbert Composition I 8 April 2016 Research Paper: Indoor Tanning Bed For the past twenty years, it has become very apparent that indoor tanning beds damages skin. Based on scientific research tanning can also lead to blinding eye diseases and have many other negative effects. The prolonged use of indoor tanning facilities has resulted in serious chronic conditions for the users. “The indoor tanning business has been one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, with $5 billion in estimated annual revenue (Woo, Eide par. 3).” When driving through any community or city you will almost always see a sign or window, maybe even more than one, which says “Tanning” thus making it very accessible for many women or men of any age. The reason behind this growth? Around twenty to forty percent of white females 18 years old to 25 use indoor tanning facilities (Rabbitt p. 2). Many high schoolers have picked up on this wave of increase by tanning for things such as prom, summer and even just to fit in with the social norms. “One fifth of girls in grades 9 through 12 have bathed in ultraviolet rays from a tanning device within the past year…(Ban the Tan par. 2).” Reports show that many women say tanning is addicting because of the “desire to achieve an attractive look and trim, and for warmth, light, and relaxation (Woo, Eide p. 63).” Also ladies believe that tanning beds will you give you the vitamin C needed for the day, while tanning will provide some vitamin C levels...

Abstract: Hyperpigmentation refers to a skin condition in which spots of skin become darker than the natural surrounding skin due to an overproduction of melanin. Hyperpigmentation services and products that garner effective and safe results are becoming essential menu items in salons and spas. Advances in skin care technology have been incorporated in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Along with this, the use of holistic, natural ingredients in skin care preparations is becoming increasingly prevalent.

Narcissism correlated with vanity at 0.72 (P < 0.001), and was associated positively with extraversion (E), ME and the subscales of vanity; narcissism was associated negatively with neuroticism (N) and agreeableness (A). Vanity correlated positively with E, conscientiousness, both subscales of narcissism, and ME, and negatively with N and A. A composite narcissism–vanity score was produced using principal components analysis, and used along with scores from the NEO-FFI-R to predict mating effort. The narcissism–vanity composite, low A and E significantly and independently predicted mating effort (adjusted R2 = 0.28, F(9.96) = 7.74, P < 0.001). These results show that mating effort is additionally predicted by narcissism as well as self-reported personality. Ó 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Narcissism; Personality;...

...Prostitution; An Abolitionist Perspective We can learn a great deal about women and prostitution by studying the construction of prostitution as a « Social problem ». Two dominant questions oppose each other when it comes to prostition, One of them wich advocates abolition, and the other claiming its recognition as a full time job. These two positions appear to be largely balanced despite their opposition to the extent that they mobilize the same arguments, that is to say moral. But throughout his work, his analysis shows that prostitution is a widely heterogeneous universe, crossed by numerous divisions and whose participants are located mainly in the same position in the economic and social field. The first chapter explains the construction of prostitution and claims that it only creates misery and populism, as often when it comes to socially subordinate groups. In both cases, there is a certain essentialist representation of the prostitute - because often we forget men who engage in commercial sex, and the blurred boundaries of genders that include transvestites and transsexuals. More worryingly, it shows that some sociologists use their scientific legitimacy to defend highly ideological positions (in this case abolitionists). To get out of these preconceptions of considering prostitution not in only in the terms of sexuality – just like the idea of taboo in our society, but as a means of economical “subsistence” for individuals who practice it. This is often led...

...The importance of Purchase and Supply management INF 336 Instructor: Lori Deere In my time of jobs, I’ve had some experience of dealing with projects, vendors (suppliers) and some of the business. When I worked for Whole Foods, I dealt with different vendors and dabbed in some of the project aspect of the work. In later time, I became the bulk buyer and got more involved. At that time I really didn’t know how vital purchasing and supply management were in business. In an organization, buying supplies and keeping them in order is very important to help the business run correct. For this paper, I’ll discuss the aspects of purchasing and supply management and why it’s important. It will go over some of the important parts with explanation. In the process, I’ll do my best to give examples from my past experiences and other examples. SO that being stated, let’s go into what exactly is purchasing and supply management. “Supply management is focused on the acquisition process recognizing the supply chain and organizational contexts” (Johnson, P. F., Leenders, M. R., & Flynn, A. E. 2010). Purchasing and supply management is a complex matter that requires more than what most think. It’s stated that there is no easy way to organize the functions of supply, integrate suppliers correctly, and conduct the activities involved. It’s actually more of challenge of anything. In addition, each organization needs its own unique method. “It is also challenging because every supply...

...Kentucky, USA Gary R. Brockway, Chairman and Professor of Marketing, Department of Management & Marketing, College of Business & Public Administration, Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, USA Abstract Word-of-mouth communication (WOM) is a dominant force in the marketplace for services. However, the current body of research provides little insight into the nature of WOM in the service marketplace. Reports the results of a content-analytic study that provides insight into WOM’s content and the catalysts by which it is stimulated. The goal was to capture a series of “grounded events” from which broader patterns could be discerned. These grounded events were actual incidents of WOM as described by the recipients of a communication. Three content categories and ten catalyst categories are identified. Implications for managers are addressed. Article Type: Research paper Keyword(s): Communications; Consumer behaviour; Customer satisfaction; Interpersonal communications; Services marketing.

...Proceedings of the 5th International Seminar on Fire and Explosion Hazards, Edinburgh, UK, 23-27 April 2007 CHARACTERIZING OF DESIGN FIRES FOR CLOTHING STORES EHAB ZALOK, AND GEORGE HADJISOPHOCLEOUS Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Carleton University 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada ABSTRACT This paper presents the work carried out at Carleton University to characterize design fires for clothing stores. The work includes a survey of clothing stores to determine fire load and type of combustibles and medium-scale testing of fuel packages designed to represent the fire loads and type of combustibles in these stores. The experiments are conducted in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC)’s Fire Research Program using NRC’s full-scale facilities. Fourteen different clothing stores were surveyed and the data collected were analyzed to determine the total fire load (MJ) in each of the stores, the fire load density (MJ/m2), and the contribution of different combustible materials to the total fire load. The survey was conducted in 2003 in the Canadian cities of Ottawa and Gatineau. The analysis of the survey data indicated that three different fuel packages should be used to represent clothing stores. One package is used to represent clothing stores with small floor area, the second to represent stores with wood as the major combustible, and the third to represent stores with cloth as the major combustible. The results...
