Whether we like to admit it or not, celebrities do have a lot of fame and power, which can either be used to promote good or promote evil. Going plant-based can be quite a daunting experience as it often comes with a health and lifestyle overhaul, however, nowadays it’s become an increasingly popular diet – and a host of stars have made the change. We have already explored some of the numerous benefits of going plant-based.

In is landmark study, Scholarship reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, Boyer [1] released a potentially powerful concept into the academic community: the scholarship of teaching. Boyer’s concern was to put teaching and research at the same level, since universities tend to value research and disregard the importance of teaching. This way of seeing academic work appeared to offer the prospect of proportional and appropriate status for teaching alongside research, and, through greater respect for teaching, increased potential for enhancing the quality of student learning, emphasising the importance of student-centred learning and, ultimately, putting scholars in the role of co-learners. Boyer’s…
The role of marketing mix variables such as price and advertising on a new product’s diffusion has been extensively studied. Although the Bass model fits reasonably well without marketing decision variables (Bass, Krishnan, and Jain, 1994), by explicitly incorporating marketing mix variables, many studies have been able to come up with useful managerial insights and guidelines. Horsky (1990) uses a variant of the Bass model to study the diffusion of consumer durables as a function of consumer income, price, and information. He finds that utility maximizing individuals have a reservation price for a durable, which is a function of the…
Education systems are large, complex and have many levels. At the top level nationally we find the Minister of Education, who sets the premises for educational content in schools. The system continues all the way to the school and pupil level where educational activities are carried out in practice and the educational results are achieved. Following the approach of Senge, the first step to successfully developing education for sustainable development is to create a vision of the role of the school system in sustainable development and to win acceptance for this vision both in the school system itself and in…
The Benefits of Going Plant-Based More and more people are becoming aware of the ability of a whole food plant based diet to help alleviate and even cure many chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, cancers, autoimmune disease, kidney stones, inflammatory bowel diseases and many more.

Quilting Perhaps the most versatile needle art is hand sewing and hand quilting. Not only does it offer highly practical applications, it also offers great beauty and decorative applications.

E-mail is probably the most established digital channel and there is even discussion that it has had its day, although I do not expect it will disappear in the coming few years. As it is a mature channel, the regulation is fairly well established. Having permissions from your recipients is vital and most companies have databases with clear marketing permission flags. Collection of this permission is also fairly standardized with the opt-in and opt-out routes. How these can be implemented differs regionally and, again, I would recommend you understand the implications fully if e-mail (or data collection as a whole)…

A common misconception among many people – even some of those in the health and fitness industry is that anyone who switches to a plant-based diet automatically becomes super healthy.

Committing to healthy foods is the only way that you can achieve health benefits. On the other hand, these plant-based snacks do play a role in keeping you motivated. They should be consumed in moderation, sparingly and in small…
