Why baby steps are not enough to tackle the obesity epidemicFooducate
A presentation by Fooducate CEO Hemi Weingarten at Stanford's Mobile Health Conference in May 2012.
Weingarten explains why individual efforts at tackling the obesity epidemic may not be enough and suggests ways to tackle the problem from a societal angle.
Total Place sets a new direction for local public services based on work by central government, local authorities, and partners. The report outlines commitments to give greater freedom and flexibility to local areas led by local authorities. This includes freedoms from central controls, for local collaboration, to invest in prevention, and to drive growth. The 13 pilot areas served over 11 million people and demonstrated real savings and service improvements from a whole area approach. For example, 2% savings in locally controlled spending in 2013-14 could release over £1.2 billion for reinvestment.
The document discusses several topics related to the European Union, including its institutional structure, challenges of multi-level governance, and policy issues like the Common Agricultural Policy, regional development, and the 2020 strategy. It raises questions about managing the EU's expansion, decentralization trends, and how programs after 2014 can take an integrated approach between urban and rural areas.
This document summarizes the key points from a student's oral expression lab project. It includes 3 elements:
1) Learning about public speaking and group discussions, including implementing new skills.
2) Discussing topics like sexual orientation, including questions about perceptions of gay people.
3) Developing ways to give opinions formally and informally, such as by writing an essay about the controversial topic of suicide. The student reflected on improving communication skills and expressing ideas productively.
This document appears to be an introduction or overview of a media fact book for Romania in 2011. It discusses the declining Romanian advertising market in 2010 and an expectation that the market will continue to decline slightly in 2011 before potentially growing in 2012. It also notes the growth of digital and online media in Romania as well as the continued dominance of television in the advertising market. The document provides context on the state of the Romanian media and advertising industries.
The document discusses Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), which promotes recovery-oriented systems of care that focus on long-term recovery rather than acute treatment. TROHN aims to frame housing as important for recovery, empower consumer choices in housing, protect housing rights, and improve housing availability for underserved groups. It also describes TROHN's online housing directory, which allows members to post listings that are searchable and remain up-to-date.

This document provides a summary of Latin American independence movements and developments in the region during the 1800s. It describes how various South and Central American countries declared independence from Spain and Portugal between 1811-1823. It then discusses the social, economic and political situation in Latin America during the 1830s-1840s, including economic growth driven by increased exports. Finally, it notes slavery was abolished and Jesuits were expelled from 1851-1854.
The document summarizes the current use and structure of EU regional funds, outlines the process and timeline for developing the future EU regional policy strategy, and presents initial positions on the future of the policy. The main funds are the ERDF, ESF, and Cohesion Fund, which are allocated based on GDP per capita. Key debates around the future policy focus on improving use of local resources, concentrating on priorities like innovation and climate change, and simplifying management. Positions varied but most saw a need for the policy to remain balanced across regions while addressing budget constraints.
This document appears to be a biography or resume for Al DeBauche that lists key events and contact information. It mentions his wedding day in May 2004, his three sons, Christmas 2009, and provides ways to connect with him through Facebook and LinkedIn as well as his phone number and email.
Reform of the local state and new learning needs30088
The document discusses reforms to the local government system in the UK, including the abolition of various regional bodies and the proposed Localism Bill. The bill aims to devolve more powers to local councils and communities but will also bring financial cuts and legal/financial reforms. It represents a continuation of longer-term bipartisan trends toward more local autonomy. The challenges for local authorities include integrating new legislation, understanding reforms to fiscal powers and financial instruments, developing social capital across communities, and rethinking roles under new structures like elected mayors. Local governments will need to learn new skills like managing risk-based investments, building workforce capacity, and leading reforms with depleted central government support.
This document discusses the need for the region to develop a sophisticated understanding of future demographic trends and their implications. It suggests that the population may decline in numbers but grow older at the same time. This would impact the labor market, housing, infrastructure, and current economic growth strategies. A shrinking and aging population would have repercussions for public, private and voluntary sectors that need to be anticipated to meet challenges and opportunities.
Applying Barca Place Based Approach To England30088
Applying the Barca approach to place-based regeneration in England at the national and regional level.
Barca advocates for a long-term strategy focused on reducing inequality and inefficiency in specific places through bundled public services tailored to local preferences. Key pillars include concentrating funding on core priorities, strengthening strategic dialogue and performance management, and promoting experimentalism while preventing local capture. Counterfactual impact assessments are proposed to improve policymaking, but establishing rigorous evaluations faces challenges around capacity, defining policies, available data, and external validity.
The document discusses the changing role of cities and regions in England. It outlines how regional governance structures were dismantled in 2010, with powers becoming more centralized. While localism aims to empower local councils, cities have no formal powers and local enterprise partnerships lack accountability. The role of cities in economic growth is important, but there is no clear path forward for how cities can work with other levels of government. Cross-boundary cooperation and a new relationship between national and local levels may be needed.
This document discusses strategic planning and business development approaches for a telecom company with 1300 customers. It outlines two main approaches: 1) Seeking new customers outside existing business through market development. 2) Focusing resources on the top 20% of current customers who generate 80% of revenues through customer segmentation and selling them additional products. The key is developing thoughtful strategies to continue profitably targeting the long tail of customers beyond the initial top 20% over time.
The Little Ice Age occurred between the 14th and 19th centuries and was caused by increased volcanic activity, decreased solar radiation, or changes in ocean currents. It followed a period of warmer temperatures called the Medieval Warm Period. Areas affected experienced crop failures, famines, increased disease, emigration, social unrest, and inspired darker themes in art. People incorrectly believed it was caused by evil forces and persecuted others. Societal changes included the introduction of new crops like potatoes and alcoholic drinks, migration patterns, and impacts on wars and military outcomes.
This document discusses solving a problem involving real numbers x and y, where x + y = 5 and x^2 + y^2 = 25. It substitutes these equations into the original problem of finding the value of xy, and solves to determine that xy = -1.

Trendboek 2014 - 2015. Technologische ontwikkelingen volgen elkaar in een razend tempo op. De overheid trekt zich terug en het economisch zwaartepunt verplaatst zich richting China. Door nieuwe media kunnen we zaken, in zelfgekozen groepen, organiseren en we zijn als individu nooit zo empowered geweest als nu. Maar wat de komende jaren vorm gaat geven zit niet in technologische vooruitgang, economische groei of een veranderd medialandschap. De komende jaren wordt bepaald door een revolutie in waarden (values).
Trendboek 2013. We staan op een breekpunt. De omgeving is onzeker en de status quo wordt bedreigd. Maar verandering brengt vooral kansen. Voor wie creatief is en de status quo durft lost te laten, bestaat er helemaal geen crisis. Dit trendboek beschrijft welke ontwikkelingen en consumentenbehoeften het speelveld veranderen en welke kansen dit biedt.

in the midst of the crisis many andividuals and companies struggle to survive. But that same crisis poses new opportunities and offers new views on the world. If you are willing to let go of the status quo, there is no crisis. This piece is about (future) consumer behaviour and business opportunities in this era.
The document discusses various concepts related to business, society, and culture. It contrasts short-term profit versus long-term development and individualism versus collectivism. Various phrases and quotes are presented relating to topics like branding, reputation, transparency, partnerships, and localization. Simplification, sustainability, and vision are ideals discussed over risk-taking and stability. The overall themes appear to focus on building trust and community through openness, cooperation and shared purpose rather than isolation and short-term gains.
