Abstract
The following paper discusses the collaboration that began the business ?Heavenly Hands?. It discusses how a local massage therapist with an established personal, fitness and medical clientele was referred to the owner of the beauty salon in the Hilton who had received requests from the hotel management and guests for massage services. Their business mission, location, services offered, product sales and competitive analysis are also examined.
From the Paper
"Day spas and resort spas are two of the fastest growing service industries in the country and it is predicted this industry will continue to grow. In 1974, there were approximately 74 spas in the United States. In 1999, there were over 1000. Massage therapy generates 65-70% of a spa?s revenue, so as the spa industry grows, so does the demand for massage therapists. The collaboration that began the business ?Heavenly Hands? began when a local massage therapist with an established personal, fitness and medical clientele was referred me to the owner of the beauty salon in the Hilton who had received requests from the hotel management and guests for massage services. With the new business from the Hilton combined and her existing clientele, the massage therapist had more clients than she could possibly handle, and it became obvious that both services could combine in one location and increase their revenues and ability to service an increasing customer base by using qualified therapists under independent contractor agreements to handle the extra work."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the Center for Information Technology and Communications from its inception as the Electronic Data Processing Department, a branch of the Queensland Treasury, to its gradual change into the State Government Computer Center, until it assumed commercial status and became the department it is today, the Center for Information Technology and Communications (CITEC). The paper looks at CITEC's gradual move from being an accounting-based organization towards an organization that provides information technology services for government and private organizations. In addition, the paper looks at CITEC's implementation of its services, its organizational behavior, and provides a SWOT analysis of CITEC.
From the Paper
"CITEC assumed commercial status in 1992. The organization actively began pursuing private and commercial clientele in addition to the government contract that the company already possessed. During the 1990s, the company substantially grew its business. During this time, business doubled. They opened branch offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Due to this expansion and the consequent success, Business Queensland awarded CITEC the Government-owned Business Enterprise of the Year Award in 1996. The Y2K dilemma and the increased information technology service requirements ensured that the company maintained its competitive level and business advantage. The success of the company?s handling of the Y2K problem helped instilled confidence in their clientele with regards to CITEC?s the capability and expertise. At present, CITEC is Australia?s largest information and communications technology (ICT) service providers with annual revenues of over $120 million."

From the Paper
"The literature on the subject of fitness centers and the way health clubs are operated as a business reflect much of the same concerns noted in Chapter One, notably that these institutions are faced with growing competition from government-run institutions associated with hospitals and similar facilities. Some companies have also instituted their own fitness programs and have built fitness centers in their factories and business complexes. Such facilities compete with fitness centers that are private businesses, often in an unfair manner, especially when the health facility is government-run."

The Pilates Fitness Plan, 2006.
This paper describes the Pilates fitness plan and explores its success.
2,023 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper begins by illustrating the Pilates plan's success as the preferred alternative fitness plan. The paper explains the six major Pilates principles: breathing, concentration, centering, precision, control and movement flow/rhythm and the stability ball that is central to these exercises. The writer discusses the beneficial effects these exercises have on the body and explains that daily lives become more pain free and athletic abilities are enhanced. The paper concludes that the Pilates exercises will continue to gain popularity, helping to reduce pain and improving a person's performance in general.
From the Paper
"In Pilates, there exists a monumental focus on the quality of each movement, rather than the number of repetitions or rapidity with which they are performed. The body moves as one integrated unit, instead of isolating separate parts. Keeping proper alignment and form are crucial during exercise for achieving maximum benefits as well as preventing injury. (Crawford, 2002)
As Crawford writes, "Furthermore, training on a stability ball provides numerous benefits similar to those of Pilates, such as increased muscle tone and flexibility, improved posture, coordination and a greater sense of body awareness. The most significant difference is how the ball addresses core stabilization. Exercising on an unstable surface forces automatic recruitment of the body's core muscles to hold a position of balance."

Abstract
This investigation was conducted with 100 fifth grade students, one library media specialist and four fifth grade teachers in order to determine whether collaboration between the media specialist and two classroom teachers causes an increase in information literacy scores in the two classes of fifth grade students (50 students) when compared with the control group of two fifth grade classes (50 students). The summary, conclusion, implications and recommendations maintain that the collaborative teaching approach provides both learning disabled and their non-disadvantaged peers with improved opportunities for achieving academic, social and vocational success.

"The work of librarians has dramatically changed in recent decades. Today's librarian is primarily a teacher of information literacy (Eisenberg, 2002), and as such, collaborates with classroom teachers to ensure that they are effective users of ideas and information. As a partner, the school librarian, now entitled "media specialist," joins with teachers and students to help them learn how students to use a wide variety of print, nonprint, and electronic information resources. In many ways, the media specialist helps everyone in the school become more adept at participating in electronic information retrieval. The media specialist is an ambassador and a diplomat, showing everyone in the school how to use the Internet, search engines, and electronic databases. It is very important that the combined staff of teachers and media specialist have common goals, a shared vision and work together in a climate of trust and respect (Muronago & Harada, 1999). The research question to be investigated is whether collaboration of a media specialist with fifth grade teachers in fact increases the information literacy of the students in the classrooms."

From the Paper
"Creating public awareness among the general populace will require more creative and less structured planning. First series of groups to address would be scout, church and other social groups. In a similar manner to meeting EALR desires, CWB should try to identify merit badges with which to align programs with both Boy and Girl Scouts. Once that task is accomplished, developing a list of key scout leader contacts could be executed fairly quickly. Other groups would be interested in the center for its appeal to team building and uniqueness. Certainly, the installation of a light rail stop and city park next door will elevate CWB's presence in the spotlight."
"Being recognized as a key piece of South Lake Union's growth by its developer is a competitive advantage CWB needs to manage and leverage. The first task should be inclusion in promotional brochures that come out of Vulcan. Two more actions could foster a strong community tie. First, with 10,000 new residences coming into the area an opportunity may exist to offer $50 voucher for CWB programs for the first series of residents or a reminder that the center offers free boat rides on Sunday afternoons."
