Employers can and should encourage healthy lifestyles from their employees. It not only improves their productivity which is good for the company, it DIRECTLY saves health care costs! An amazing study just came out of Duke University. The study looked at workers' compensation data for 11,728 Duke University employees who received health-risk appraisals over a seven-year period. What were the results for obese employees (compared to those who are not obese) as published in the Journal of…
she was forced to make due with what she could. “She was given the job because no one else wanted it. Pat Summitt earned a salary of $250 a month and her coaching duties included washing the players’ uniforms, driving the team bus and organizing doughnut sales to help pay for travel”. (Baker 2). Instead of giving up and letting gender barriers get her down Pat continued her push for equality in sports. Summitt used her huge rivalry with the University of Connecticut to gain national broadcasting…
There are so many reasons why we should put a fat tax on unhealthy foods. But then again there are so many reasons why we shouldn’t. Things like Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Chicken Nuggets, Fries, and some candy are among those we shouldn 't make more expensive. A lot of people usually have a sweet tooth so will we make cookies and cakes more expensive too since that is unhealthy for us? Also our government already…
and to tell yourself that you'll do it later. What I've learned during my project is that habits can be quite difficult to get rid of. Duhigg states,”Once someone creates a new pattern, studies have demonstrated, going for a jog or ignoring the doughnuts becomes as automatic as any other habit” (pg 20).You really need serious motivation and determination to change a habit. This was the case for me as well, I needed to think how this will affect me in the future if I don't change my habit. This…

I am a cashier. I make $8.50 an hour. I am a teenager. My parents pay my insurance, my bills, and purchase my food. I buy my gas. That’s about it. I’m well off. There are many people who work in the fast-food and retail industries, and they work minimum wage jobs. In Kentucky, that is $7.25 an hour, and for tipped jobs, $2.13 an hour (1). And that is not enough to make a living off, no one doubts that. But, raising the minimum wage is not the answer to allowing the minimum wage to become a…

We had just come from my granddaughter’s basketball game and we had decided to go to the Bob Evans in Marysville. That particular Bob Evans does not have a good reputation with me but since my dear grandchildren wanted to eat there I simply replied, “Why not.”. When we got inside a very cheery room greeted us. There was a beautiful chandelier covering twenty or so tables with green tablecloths and the usual condiments. “It looks good enough.” I thought optimistically. When we sat down it was…

public spaces. Michael Graves used abstract and historical elements such as domes, vaults, balcony palisades and wooden lattice-work in many different functions around the hotel. Variations of dome shapes include the hemisphere, a bell-shape and the doughnut-shape with opening covered by a projecting cylinder above (Figure 2.6). In addition, the hotel has a spectacular and imposing entrance (Figure 2.7), and also a huge reception area, spread over two floors, reminiscent the palace of an ancient…
