How to make a pillow
The document provides instructions for making a basic pillow at home. It outlines three parts to the process: preparing the fabric by cutting two equal squares or rectangles, stitching the pillow by sewing three sides and turning it right side out, and stuffing and closing the pillow by filling it and sewing the opening. Making pillows is a simple and inexpensive way to learn basic sewing skills rather than buying pre-made pillows from the store. The step-by-step directions guide the reader through each stage of the pillow making process.
Pillow with audio
The document describes a proposed audio-enabled pillow called "Sound Sleep". It discusses research showing many people listen to music while sleeping. The pillow would allow wireless music playback and other features like alarms. Target markets include teenagers, young adults, and middle-aged dealing with stress/insomnia. A marketing plan is proposed, including online sales, demonstrations in malls, partnerships with doctors, and a digital campaign using videos, social media, and a mobile app. The goal is to introduce an innovative sleep product and build customer loyalty through additional customization options.
travel pellow
The document is a final report submitted for a marketing course project on travel pillows. It includes an executive summary, business details on target market and positioning, and marketing mix strategies. The target market is identified as city residents, airlines, and public transportation companies. The positioning strategy is for the travel pillow to be a "must have" item for travelers. Different types of travel pillows are described, and pricing will use a skim strategy since the target market is high income. The report provides insights into the product, target market, and marketing plan for a new travel pillow business in Bangladesh.

Community Compost Toilet System (IAPMO WE·Stand Model)
Safely reducing the volume of municipal sewage sludge typically sent for processing by sewer avoidance via separation at the source/on-site remediation of humanure using compost toilets with urine diversion AKA humus (top soil) factories. This schema uses the 2017 IAPMO WE-Stand Guidance rubric. Ultimately, a rich resource is generated that can be used as a soil amendment to grow food by tiny house stewards managing hyper-intense farming on tax-defaulted, urban lots.
Conducted over four years, performance of a humanure batch compost processor, clearly demonstrates that high temperatures were reliably achieved with subsequent pathogen elimination to acceptable levels prior to distribution of high quality humus to the local garden environment. Additionally, urine diversion has also allowed the community to reclaim nitrogen and other nutrients otherwise lost in conventional sewage systems. The system has resulted in large savings of potable water, and significant carbon sequestration.

Foragetracking
The document summarizes a project that tracks the routes of informal recyclers ("catadores") in São Paulo using GPS to understand their foraging strategies. This information could then be turned into an online platform to help catadores formalize and scale up their recycling services by improving coordination between cooperatives and establishing relationships of trust with companies and residents. The goal is to help catadores take advantage of a new Brazilian law recognizing them and leverage technology to strengthen the recycling system through participatory management.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

Stealth attraction for mens gets her with your words
My article gives a set of techniques used by men to subtly and effectively attract women without overtly displaying their intentions. It involves using non-verbal cues, body language, and subtle psychological tactics to create intrigue and build attraction. The goal is to appear confident, mysterious, and charismatic while maintaining an air of mystery that piques the interest of the person you are trying to attract. This approach emphasizes subtlety and finesse in communication and interaction to create a powerful and lasting impression.
