Foot placement

You have found the correct seat height for Donna, but you notice her knees move inward toward the frame of the bike when she pedals. You are aware that this will not only limit her performance but will also increase the potential for injury. You have also noticed other students in your classes with the same issue as well as some whose knees move outward during the pedal stroke.

In your own words (250 minimum) please describe how these situations can affect the placement of the foot on the pedals, and how the pressure is distributed on the feet, for both situations. Additionally, describe what steps you would take to alleviate these issues through cleat adjustment.

Plaque assay practical

As both plate 4 and 5 have areas of shine/glare, please divide the plate into sections (1/4 or 1/8 sections) and count the number of plaques in the section with the least amount of glare (e.g. if you count 14 plaques on 1/4 section of the plate, them multiply 14 x 4 to give a total of 56 plaques on the entire plate). Marks will not be deducted if the actual number of plaques counted is not 100% accurate.

HR Headline: Pay for Performance Remains Controversial “Pay for Performance” has

HR Headline: Pay for Performance Remains Controversial
“Pay for Performance” has made inroads in business, but has remained a hard sell in public school systems. There are some successful examples where teacher pay has been linked to student test scores. For example, in Minnesota, some districts have stopped giving automatic raises for seniority and base 60% of all pay increases on performance. In Denver, unions and school districts designed an incentive program where teachers receive bonuses for student achievement and for earning national teaching certificates. However, some plans have not worked. For example, Cincinnati teachers voted against a merit pay proposal and Philadelphia teachers gave their bonus checks to charity rather than cashing them. It appears that having teachers involved in planning the incentive system is one key factor to success. The same can be said for all incentive plans – if employees don’t buy into them, they will not work.
Your paper may be based on a business entity of your choosing from the public or private sector and must answer the following Research Questions:
1. How could an organization measure the effectiveness of its pay-for-performance plan(s)?
2. From an employee’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?
3. From an employer’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?
