This how-to-do-it guide is one of the most popular and widely-praised books ever pub- lished by the Federal government. The Handbook is written for the individual American consumer and the consumer affairs professional. In "Part I--How to be a Smart Consumer" we offer hints on how to get the most for your money. "Eubie Smart" is a special cartoon character we use with our list of con- sumer tips. This section contains tips on how to choose child care, how to protect your privacy, and how to choosy a school for your child. Eubie also offers pointers about car repair, home remodeling, and credit card fraud. If you are trying to resolve a consumer complaint, this part of the Handbook shows you how to write a complaint letter. The second section, "Part II--Consumer Assistance Directory," lists the addresses and telephone numbers of businesses, state and local consumer protection offices, and Federal government agencies. You can write or call these offices for help with your con- sumer questions and problems. If you are riot sure where to find the information you need, check the Index in the back of the Handbook. The Index is arranged by subject. Whether you are an individual consumer or a consumer affairs professional, we hope you will find this Handbook useful.

Market domain Industry domain Market Industry attractiveness attractiveness Macro-level Mission, aspirations, AbilityAbility to to execute execute propensity for Team onon CSFs CSFs risk domain Connectedness up, down, across value chain Micro-level Target segment benefits Sustainable and attractiveness advantage What makes a sports team successful? It depends upon the sport. For most teams, the need for talented, conditioned, well-trained athletes and a competent coaching staff are obvious requirements. Yet, beyond these fundamental criteria, no two sports have the same critical success factors. Chapter7.qxd 28/4/06 2:10 pm Page 148 Take for example basketball, football and polo. Successful basketball teams must have players with the hand-eye coordination to shoot the ball accurately. Having tall players doesn’t hurt, either, of course. On the other hand, football (soccer) is played largely with the feet, so hand–eye coordination doesn’t matter very much. Agility and an ability to control the ball while keeping one’s head and eyes up are critical, however. A polo team’s success depends on both the athletes and the horses. As in basketball and football, the athletes need to have a good shot, but they must also be able to make this shot while riding a horse at high speed. In all three sports, endurance also matters – the fittest team often wins. In each of these sports, different factors are critical to success. Height and shooting ability make a big difference in basketball. Foot skills and the ability to maintain possession of the ball are important in football.

  • Professional Licensure Disclosure
    PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE DISCLOSURE Background- Lincoln Memorial University offers several programs leading to professional licensure within the State of Tennessee. Lincoln Memorial University also offers the ASN and BSN in Kentucky and Florida, which can lead to professional licensure in those states. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure functions. Some states require an individual to graduate from an approved program. Others require an individual to “meet [the] certification requirements of a national organization”. A specific amount of training can also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Often, licensed professionals must complete continuing education on an annual. State Authorization- Lincoln Memorial University is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) which allows us to provide distance learning programs (both online and in the form of supervised field experiences) and coursework to residents of states other than Tennessee. NC-SARA membership, however, does not grant reciprocity or exempt us from state professional licensing requirements. As a result, licensing requirements in Tennessee may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain a license in any other state. Relocation- Relocating while in the course of a program to another state may have impacts if the student can remain in the program, meet the state licensure requirements and/or continue to receive financial aid funding. Prior to considering relocation, please log into your WebAdvisor account to complete the change of address process and contact your program advisor to discuss authorization and licensure eligibility requirements.

    Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 16/1/22 上午 9:00 Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics is a branch of classical mechanics, which in turn is a branch of physics. Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration. The study of these motions began in the late 19th century and continues today.[1][2][3] Bicycles and motorcycles are both single-track vehicles and so their motions have many fundamental attributes in common and are fundamentally different from and more difficult to study than other wheeled vehicles such as dicycles, tricycles, and quadracycles.[4] As with unicycles, bikes lack lateral stability when stationary, and under most circumstances can only remain upright when moving forward. Experimentation and mathematical analysis have shown that a bike A computer-generated, simplified stays upright when it is steered to keep its center of mass over its model of bike and rider demonstrating wheels. This steering is usually supplied by a rider, or in certain an uncontrolled right turn. circumstances, by the bike itself. Several factors, including geometry, mass distribution, and gyroscopic effect all contribute in varying degrees to this self-stability, but long-standing hypotheses and claims that any single effect, such as gyroscopic or trail, is solely responsible for the stabilizing force have been discredited.[1][5][6][7] While remaining upright may be the primary goal of beginning riders, a bike must lean in order to maintain balance in a turn: the higher the speed or smaller the turn radius, the more lean is required.
