The document discusses the Uses and Gratifications Theory, which proposes that audiences actively select media to fulfill certain needs. The theory focuses on what people do with media rather than what media does to people. It suggests that people choose media sources that provide identification with role models, education, entertainment, and social interaction. As an example, the document notes that people often select personal music not just based on mood but to fulfill needs like empowerment or social consciousness.
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on moving beyond dieting to a simpler approach to eating and nutrition. Some of the main ideas discussed include:
1) Diets are often the problem, not the solution, and most people who diet regain the weight they lose.
2) A variety of diet approaches were analyzed in a Yale meta-analysis but no single diet was clearly superior for sustainable weight loss.
3) A better approach is focusing on small, positive changes like eating more protein and vegetables at meals, delegating tasks to preserve willpower, and having realistic expectations about weight loss.
4) The presenter suggests trying a "30 Days to Awesome" program with very easy
The Argument for a New Primary School for CharleslandStephen Donnelly
For over a year now, Jennifer Whitmore and I have been campaigning for a new primary school to be built in or near Charlesland. The school would primarily serve the populations of Charlesland and Eden Gate, which do not currently have sufficient provision. Attached is an updated analysis of the very clear case for a new school to be built.
Explanations for the success or failure of dieting lprsssfcpsychology
Dieting is aimed primarily at women due to social and cultural influences. The restraint theory explains why dieting often fails due to periods of restraint followed by disinhibition and overeating. Relapse prevention strategies like providing social support, identifying risk situations, and creating plans to prevent lapses can promote longer term dieting success compared to just focusing on initial weight loss.
Many popular diets and weight loss regimens promote myths and fallacies. They often blame certain foods or hormones for weight control and promise quick results without evidence. Low carbohydrate diets can cause constipation, weakness and are not superior to conventional diets in the long run. High protein, low carbohydrate diets double fatty acid levels and lower endothelial cell numbers, increasing heart disease risk. No single diet fits everyone, and sustainable weight loss is best achieved through balanced nutrition, portion control, reduced calories and regular exercise rather than restrictive or elimination diets.
The document discusses biological explanations for eating behavior, focusing on the role of neural mechanisms and homeostasis. It describes how the hypothalamus, specifically the lateral hypothalamus (hunger center) and ventromedial hypothalamus (satiety center), regulate eating through feedback loops involving glucose levels and hormones like ghrelin and CCK. Evidence from studies on rats and humans supports the dual-center theory, though some findings have limitations and physiological drives can be overridden by other factors.
The document discusses how nutrition and diet affect health and discusses eating disorders and obesity. It notes that appetite is driven by pleasure while hunger is the body's physical need for fuel. It defines diet as a pattern of eating and notes that diets are typically quick fixes rather than sustainable lifestyle changes. The document also discusses factors that influence food choices and body image, and lists short and long term health problems related to poor diet and nutrition.
This document provides an analysis of the music video for Katy Perry's song "Thinking of You" according to seven key ideas for identifying elements in music videos put forth by Andrew Goodwin. It discusses how the music video demonstrates characteristics of the pop genre through inclusion of Katy Perry's performance and use of editing techniques like fade ins and outs. It also analyzes how the video illustrates the song's lyrics through its narrative of a couple separated by war and how the cuts are timed to the music. Close-ups of Perry are used to relate her to the character and promote her artistic abilities. References are made to other works like "Dear John" and the video aims to appeal to Perry's target audience through these intertext

This document discusses factors that influence the success and failure of dieting. It summarizes research showing that dieting often leads to overeating (the boundary model), and that attempting to restrict food intake can increase cravings (the theory of ironic processes). However, structure, variety in food choices, social support, lifestyle changes like exercise, and adopting healthy long-term eating habits rather than short-term dieting are associated with more successful weight control. Motivation, beliefs about the causes of obesity, and finding alternative rewards to food are also important predictors of dieting success.

This document describes duplex armored fiber optic pigtail/patch cords that feature stainless steel protection tubes to shield optical fibers from damage caused by torsion or environmental extremes. They can be installed without additional protective tubing, saving space and simplifying maintenance. The cords support various connector types and are suited for applications including machine rooms, FTTH networks, testing equipment, and more. Specifications list low insertion attenuation and high return loss even at wide operating temperatures.
