Nutrients and the Supply of Energy Exercise is a major component of a healthy lifestyle. In order to combat the negative impact of obesity and diabetes, it is best to include an exercise regimen in any health program. However, if the type of exercise required is similar to those of athletes, the strategy requires something more complicated than just physical movement alone. In the case of athletes, a primary concern is the need to sustain the ability to perform physically demanding tasks, and in order to accomplish that goal, the athlete needs to consume the right types and amounts of food sources. At the top of the hierarchical structure for the most efficient and popular nutrient that supplies energy to the human body, one can find carbohydrates-rich foods. Good examples are rice, potatoes, and wheat. There are two types of carbohydrates, and these are: 1) complex carbohydrates and 2) simple carbohydrates (Gropper & Smith, 2013). With regards to complex carbohydrates, rice and yams are prominent examples, and one can also add wheat and cornmeal to the list. On the other hand, the best examples of simple carbohydrates are sucrose (found in fruits) and lactose (found in milk). It is imperative that athletes and coaches are well aware of key nutritional principles in order to prevent sub-par performances due to nutrient deficiency (Gropper & Smith, 2013). Thus, sports nutritionists recommend a diet that is comprised of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, low-fat dairy, and whole grains (Shils & Shike, 2006). The keywords that they oftentimes use are variety and balance. Nevertheless, when it comes to athletic performance, the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Dietetic Association issued a joint statement that athletes require adequate energy intake from macronutrients like carbohydrate, fat, and protein (Shils & Shike, 2006). It is through the consumption of the said macronutrients that athletes are able to acquire micronutrients like vitamins and minerals (Shils & Shike, 2006). Basic Laws of Thermodynamics In PC, Xbox, or PlayStation type of games, there are characters that gobble up energy directly from a canister or container. In real-life, athletes do not have the capacity to absorb energy directly from veget
Introduction When children read fairy tales they idolize the main characters, mimic them, and consider how they interact to be the most ideal way of behaving. Therefore, when female characters are obedient and passive, young girls will act obediently and passively; when male characters are emotionless, and think only in a logical way, boys will pick up on that trait and learn not to give in to their emotions. Cinderella , by the Brothers Grimm, is a popular fairytale that has been passed down generation to generation, and retold in various ways, but always as a story of ideal love and happiness that is told to amuse children of all ages. What is rarely considered is what the fairytale is subliminally telling us through its specific word choices (Robinson, 2010). After the story is broken down into phrases and then analyzed in terms of gender, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs, what begins to stand out are some pretty disturbing messages. In our criticism of Cinderella , we asked the questions: “What is the disposition of gender in this artifact?” And, “How does the disposition of gender affect the behavior of children under the age of ten?” Then we recast our extractions or phrases in the light of gender, and we found the affect this lighthearted fairytale truly has on children. In order to come to this conclusion though, it is necessary to go through the process of extraction and it is important to understand where the story of Cinderella comes from and what it is about. Then we will explain the method we used to analyze Cinderella and what the story told us. So, here we are at the beginning with the history of the story, Cinderella . Context According to Thomas O’Neill (1999), Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, wrote a story collection called Children’s and Household Tales where Cinderella was included. Brothers Grimm had a very difficult childhood as their family had a lot of financial problems. More so, their father died when they were small children. At one point a man from the school let them use tales books from the library and they were so fascinated by those tales that they eventually started writing their own. The first edition of their book of fairy tales was published in 1812. The purpose of writing those fairy tales for them was to protect the German oral tradit
The Prescriptive Approach The prescriptive approach is an action that implies thorough planning and premeditation and strict monitoring from start to finish. The strongest characteristic of this approach is a logical and rational implementation of strategic management. One more advantage of the prescriptive strategy is the systematic planning that allows observing objectives and ways of dealing with them utterly clearly. In other words, the benefits of this approach can be summed up as an ability to understand a purpose inside out, thorough planning, and resultative success due to strict and systematic following it. As an example, many companies developed and thrived during the 1970-80s, such as Ford and General Electric. In contrast, its disadvantages are the lack of creativity as a result of strict frames, and the lack of flexibility since the approach denies any deviation from an original plan. Consequently, the actual results of the prescriptive approach usually contradict those planned. According to AlShehhi, AlMulla, and Mansoor (2019), it was established in the 1970-the 80s that rigid strategy demonstrated poor results in the unstable environment of the UAE. For instance, a company may need to change a supplier or invent an unusual idea for more effectiveness in reaching its goals, which are impossible in the frames of this approach. The Emergent Approach This approach takes into account the ability of the strategy to evolve and change during its implementation. Its main advantage is increased flexibility – it is possible to move away from an original approach. It also allows a company to use creative methods in its deals. For instance, a company takes an unpredictable course of action if it is believed to contribute to the ultimate success. According to Campbell, Edgar, and Stonehouse (2011), such companies as Sony, Honda, and Adidas reached their success as a result of implementing the emergent approach. On the other hand, there can be a lack of precise targeting, which will lead to unclear results. Therefore, the main disadvantage of the emergent strategy is the lack of focus and consequent uncertainty in actions. Also, it is hard to assess the performance and analyse the results for future planning. Supporting Functions in a Company Support functions are auxiliary activities implemented to assist more significant functions and a company’s production activity. The results of support functions are not intended directly for third parties or the market. An example of supporting functions is transportation activities, which imply ways of delivery, speed, quality of transport equipment, and other characteristics. It is possible to add value to a company due to developing this function since the speed and quality of delivery is essential, especially for a demanding customer. Besides, the more ways of transportation there is, the more convenient for various custo
Background ACME Valley Entertainments Ltd approached our Environmental consultancy for getting ideas on BPM (Best Practicable Means) to defend a case of Statutory Nuisance. The theme park is situated near to residential area which has given them the current legal challenge. The noise from the park has created noise pollution in the premises and appellants filed a case against them in local authorities under s82 Environmental Protection Law. There are chances of a noise nuisance abatement order against ACME Valley Entertainments Ltd and they wish to face the situation using BPM defence. The paper includes aide memoir for the presentation prepared for ACME to explain on BPM and use of it as a defence against s82 Environmental Protection Act in their Board Meeting. BPM is defined and analysed as a defence as applicable to our case. A similar case that happened in UK during 2007 is sought out for analysing the situational hope of ACME Valley Entertainments Ltd. Introduction Main objective is to analyse the current situation and dig out possibilities of favour for our part to defend the statutory nuisance case filed in local authorities. First thing to be accomplished for best approach to the case is to find out other similar cases in West Law involving theme parks, neighbours and noise pollution and study on it for seeking out possible defences available. Best Practicable Means which is the current requirement of ACME Valley can be identified easily in that case. The identified BPM can be absorbed into our defence against the statutory nuisance case under s82 Environmental Protection Act. Define BPM BPM stands as an abbreviation for Best Practicable Means. Best Practicable Means is widely considered as a “non-technical explanation of a widely used defence against statutory nuisance actions.” (Best Practicable means 2008, para.1). BPM has nothing to do with technical aspects but just to identify some practicable ideas to defend ourselves. BPM is “used to prevent or counteract the nuisance.” (Wolf & Stanley 2003, p.394). The local conditions and circumstances should be taken into account while identifying and formulating Best Practicable Means for our situation. Noise Pollution affects the health as identified by medical reports but on those grounds it is unpractical to stop games and music in theme park. Use of BPM Defence A case under s82 Environmental Protection Act can be encountered using Best Practicable Means alone or else there should be a complete elimination of identified nuisance. But it is never possible to eliminate sound from premises of a theme park, so only approach available is to defend with BPM. If any statutory nuisance is identified by Court of Law, an abatement order will be sent to the respondents. In order to face that order, Best Practicable Means is sought out. Defence using Be
South Korea Internationalization, globalization, and changes to the International Political Economy (IPE) impact on nations’ political and economical environments (Dani 43). It has become easier for corporations and companies to move or invest wherever they want due to the mobile nature of money and of manufacturing of goods. This implies that national governments are less capable of regulating and controlling the activities of multinational corporations (Banerjee and Duflo 23). Additionally, it also could imply that multinationals are at an advantaged position over national governments to dictate how they would operate within a country. The political implications of globalization and the changes to the IPE therefore focus on creating a power balance between national governments and multinational corporations (Al-Obaidan and Scully 240). Scholars argue that this scenario forces the national governments to retreat because of the inability to gain full control over the operations of these international businesses (Haberl and Marina 13). Others have argued that the sovereignty of state is slowly shifting away towards the multinational corporations. From a different perspective, one can see that globalization and the changes to IPE created tension between the need for economic prosperity and the need to maintain community values (Harris 144). The state plays a very important role of protecting communities from the effect of competition by multinationals. Through measures such as tariffs, local industries are protected from such effects. The sovereign power of national governments however can be extended in the face of globalization through signing of international treaties and cooperating with international organizations (Dani 34). In South Korea, the impact of globalization and changes to the IPE has opened up the country’s market in addition to economic empowerment. There is immense technological advancement in the country which has increased its connection with the rest of the world. Scholars have identified that the country got its taste of globalization for the first time during the 1980s (Thistlethwaite 80). It was during this time that the economy of the country was opened up to free trade. Even though this has not only been met by positive consequences, the impact it has had on the country’s economy has made it one of the richest nations in the world. Local technology and automotive companies have expanded and operated on a global scale (Keohane 40). The political and
The selected culture for this assignment is the African American culture that is also referred to as the black culture. African American culture incorporates various cultural traditions of the African culture as well as American cultural aspects (Holloway, 2005). This essay seeks to discuss the African American culture with an emphasis on assessment, diagnosis, and planning of nursing care for culturally diverse individuals in the selected cases. Culture Identification According to African American culture, family is the basic unit of the structure and hierarchy of a community (Holloway, 2005). This is because African Americans value the community as much as they value these families just like in typical African societies. Their nuclear families are headed by men since the older generation is responsible for taking care of the young ones across the community. The attitudes and beliefs of African Americans about pregnancy and childbearing reflect their value for children and large families. In terms of death, their attitudes and beliefs are consistent with the mainstream American culture. However, they take death incidents as unifying factors. Before and after death, they unite the bereaved by calling their entire extended family and the related community to take part in the occasions. African Americans have positive attitudes and beliefs about health which make them adopt health-conscious cuisine and healthy methods of preparing food. They also undertake preventative health to avoid chronic illnesses and avoid hospitalization at all costs. Moreover, African Americans prevent mental health despite being affected by narcotics that are common in society. African Americans have diverse dietary practices and cuisine that are influenced by their agricultural practices. According to Holloway (2005), this explains why the practice of growing crops such as yams, rice and peanuts in America is traced to African American families. This is an aspect of their culture arising from their slavery experience in American agricultural fields (Holloway, 2005). This is because the African American culture and general spatial relationships have been influenced by their slavery history that dates over four hundr
Introduction This paper agrees with the concept that “all literature is protest” this is because some literary works often reflect on one aspect of society that the author would like changed or even completely removed from the world. The Lottery For instance, when reading “the lottery” and the premise of characters continuing a barbaric tradition, it seemingly appears to be a critique of old traditions, practices and beliefs that society continues to follow at the present despite the fact that there is little in the way of sufficient justification as to why they should still be in use (Berne and Clark 675). For example, despite changes in social thought and the equal rights movement, there is still a considerable level of misogyny that exists in the world. One of the primary reasons behind this is due to the fact that women are considered “the weaker sex” and, as such, are subject to various discriminatory practices in the form of being sexually harassed, being subject to lower wages as well as having to endure the discrimination in their workplace. The story of “the lottery” helps to shed light on the useless nature of these actions by showing that sometimes actions are done just because they have been done for a long period of time despite all logic dictating that they should have been stopped a long time ago. Thus, in the case of “the lottery” it can be seen that it is a form of protest against the practice of blindly following “tradition” without taking into consideration the full logic of the actions that you are undertaking. The Crucible The same can be said for the short play “the Crucible” wherein it is an apparent criticism against blind accusations without sufficient reasoning behind them. In the story, it is the fear mongering created by a few individuals that results in the spread of finger pointing and accusations being directed against various female members of a village as being “witches” (Tunc 266). The sheer illogical nature behind the actions of the story, after further research, shows that it is a parody of McCarthyism which was a process conducted during the height of the Cold War wherein numerous people were blindly accused as being communists by other people that were also accused which resulted in a considerable level of finger pointing in order to prove one’s innocence. The end result was that numerous innocent people were accused of being Communists
Human beings are endowed with a unique ability; that of being able to reason rationally and logically. However, man’s reasoning is from time to time characterized by errors in reasoning, particularly when presenting arguments (Moore & Parker, 2007, p. 40). Most instances, these errors in reasoning may follow a common pattern hence forming logical fallacies. There are hundreds of logical fallacies that can be identified depending on their different patterns. Ambiguous claims and the two types of fallacies which originate from problems with ambiguity are composition and division. Ambiguity in reasoning has been identified as one of the most common fallacy that people commit in their day to day engagements. A statement is said to be ambiguous if it can be interpreted in different ways. Ambiguity is characterized by the use of words which ordinarily have more than one meaning. In most instances, ambiguous claims are not obvious. Studies in ambiguity have found that differences in definitions of key claims are at the center of ambiguous statements (Moore & Parker, 2007, p. 48). There are different types of ambiguity. The first one is the semantic ambiguity which is characterized by the presence of an ambiguous word or phrase. For instance, if a person says that the average price of a house in the city is $100,000, it is ambiguous because of the word, average. Semantically ambiguous statements can be corrected by replacing the ambiguous word with an unambiguous word or phrase. Syntactic ambiguity is the second type of ambiguity and is normally identified by the presence of ambiguous grammar usage or the general structure of the statement. For instance, if someone says that the police saw the man with binoculars, the statement is syntactically ambiguous. The statement implies that the police were searching for a man who had binoculars or that they used binoculars to locate the man they were looking for. Syntactic ambiguity can be eliminated by restructuring the sentence and the punctuations to enhance clarity. The third type of ambiguity is referred to as the grouping ambiguity which is similar to semantic ambiguity. This ambiguity arises when a claim may be correct in a general sense but false when taken in part (Hurley, 2007, p. 71). For example, if someone claims that secretaries make more money t
Introduction Business organizations should reconsider the best changes in order to remain competitive. Every business that wants to remain competitive should be ready to embrace new managerial or operational changes. Every successful firm adapts new changes every time. Organizational change helps a firm survive and achieve its goals in a timely manner. Failure to initiate the relevant changes and strategies in a firm will make it less competitive. Our modern society is changing at a very fast rate. Every company is producing new services and products in order to fulfill the changing expectations of its consumers. This discussion explores why every business firm should initiate new changes. Reasons for Organizational Change Organizational change helps a firm thrive and achieve its goals. A number of reasons can force an institution to change its strategy (Senior & Swailes, 2010). The first factor that can promote a new change is competition. Every profitable industry is capable of attracting new players or competitors. The “entrance of a major competitor in a given industry forces every existing firm to change its business strategy” (Senior & Swailes, 2010, 75). Many companies will implement new practices in order to deal with competition (Senior & Swailes, 2010). Every stakeholder and leader should be involved in the change process. These individuals should be committed in order to make the firm successful and more competitive. Every business firm that decides to ignore new competition will become less competitive. Modern technologies can compel a company to formulate new changes. A good example occurs when a company decides to introduce new computers. This situation will force the company to train its employees. The practice will ensure the company’s employees can use the computers to provide quality services to every customer. Every business is using new technologies in order to increase its productivity (Senior & Swailes, 2010). This situation explains why more companies are implementing new operational changes. Such technological changes will ensure every company realizes its goals and objectives. Failure to consider such technological changes will make a firm less competitive. According to Nelson and Quick (2012), a firm can implement new changes in order to grow. A business organization might decide to change its activities and operations in order to achieve its goals. Such a company will introduce new products and services. This strategy calls for better practices in the firm. This change will also ensure the company provides the best services and goods to its customers (Nelson & Quick, 2012). The company can also open new stores and outlets in a different location. This change will make it easier for a firm to achieve its goals. The company might also initiate new practices or services in order to remain competitive. The other possible cause of organizational change is the need to implement new business processes (Nelson & Quick, 2012). A business m
