Gel nails are fake nails that can be applied to a client’s fingers to closely resemble the natural nail. They are very similar to acrylic nails (liquid & powder); however they tend to be more flexible. Gel nails can be worn, painted & decorated in the same way as acrylic nails. Gel nails are usually applied using a UV light. Generally gel nails will last between 3 – 4 weeks; after this period maintenance & infill procedures will need to be carried out on the client’s extensions to keep them looking natural & well maintained.

Nature & Role of Marketing Analysis The analysis of the market is an important part of any overall evaluation or implementation of a marketing strategy. The techniques employed by analysts can be used to assess the correct marketing mix, changing market structures, support or reject hypotheses that have been proposed & forecasting or estimating market potential, to name but a few. This course looks at the differences within data, the range of data that can be encountered in marketing analysis & some of the main techniques used in the evaluation of such data. A marketing analyst makes use of a wide selection of techniques from the quantitative methods in order to explain the market, forecast elements of the market & support management & corporate decision making. The course will examine techniques from the quantitative methods which find widest use in the analysis of markets, such as hypothesis testing, which can be used to examine data & statistics from samples with a view to supporting or rejecting assumptions about the market population. Regression & correlation will be examined as techniques that can be employed to assess the existence & strength of relationships within a market & also their use as a possible forecasting tool. Finally, an introduction will be made to a range of multivariate techniques, which have found widest use in marketing analysis in the analysis of data from questionnaires. It is quite common to link the multivariate methods to enrich analyses. The section covering these methods will make use of a case study to demonstrate this. Modern approaches to analysis make wide use of questionnaires to obtain primary data & computer software to analyse data. The first section of this course will therefore introduce different types of data & the approaches to coding data for analysis. There exists a wide range of statistical packages to analyse data; probably the most widely used package in the UK is Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), which has been used to facilitate analyses for this course. By the end of this course you should be able to: Section 1 Explain the use & application of variables. Distinguish between the different principal types of variables. Explain & identify four categories of data measurement. Understand the procedures for coding data. Distinguish between the methods of summarising data using location & dispersion measures. Section 2 Calculate a standard Z score. Set up a confidence interval with known parameters. Appreciate what is meant by an hypothesis & understand the difference between a null hypothesis & an alternative hypothesis. Undertake an hypothesis test & appreciate the importance of significance in hypothesis testing. Undertake a chi-square test on two-dimensional data (hypothesis on non- parametric data). Section 3 Understand the nature of bivariate data & straight-line relationships. Measure the strength of linear relationships between variables using coefficients of correlation & determination. Determine a least squares regression equation & line. Estimate & forecast future data values using technique of interpolation & extrapolation. Be familiar with one approach to the analysis of a time series set of data. Section 4 Explain the concept of multivariate analysis in marketing. Describe the application & use of a range of multivariate methods as individual techniques. Describe the application & use of a range of multivariate techniques linked in an analysis. Interpret printouts from a statistical package (SPSS). ...

Nature of Work Course In this course, you are introduced in detail to the concept of work, with our main focus upon paid work within the employment relationship. In Section 1, we look at the meaning of work, both historically, when we revisit the ideas of Weber & Marx, & within contemporary British society. We then go on to look at how jobs & occupations are categorised, the characteristics of the labour market & the role of women workers within it. In Section 2, we deal with how jobs & occupations are arranged & structured within British society, both vertically, or hierarchically, & horizontally. We also look at how people can progress in their jobs & careers, & why some people move downwards. We also examine the labour market & its characteristics, particularly in relation to part-time workers & women workers. In Section 3, we examine the meanings given to work by workers themselves, & the concept of "work orientations" is introduced. This is followed, in Section 4, by an analysis of the emerging "information economy" & the impact of new technologies upon work & organisations. Finally, we deal with trends & prospects concerning unemployment, the service sector of the economy, working time & work outside employment. By the end of the course, you will be able to: define work & differentiate between intrinsic & extrinsic rewards. indicate how the meaning of work & human attitudes towards it are affected by cultural & social factors & give some historical examples. explain how Weber's protestant work ethic & Marx's concept of alienation are relevant to modern attitudes to work & have meaning for the individual. describe in basic terms some models used to describe the structure of work & list the groups or categories identified in the hierarchical occupational model. explain through examples the concept of occupational mobility & some of the factors that may affect this. examine two significant features of the labour market, the dual labour market & the sexual division of labour, & discuss the reasons put forward to explain them. list some broad occupational groups into which work has been dividedand give examples of how the market power & status of occupational groups may change as society changes. define the concept of "work orientation" & critically discuss some important studies of it. illustrate how work orientation is a dynamic rather than a static quality & identify some of the influences inside & outside work that may determine how people give meaning to their work. describe some current changes in UK work & job patterns & in the economy, & identify social & economic factors influencing their development. describe a range of developments in information technology & explain their importance in relation to global competitive & economic developments. discuss the impact of new technologies on work, particularly in relation to flexibility, work design, & organisational structure & employment patterns. identify some of the changing patterns of work, employment & unemployment & discuss in an informed way possible future trends. ...

Neuro-Linguistic Programming Course A person cannot drink the word "water" nor can the word "rain" make you wet. You must experience water or rain to truly know what the words mean. Words themselves keep you several steps removed from the experience. You experience in you own life essentially what you believe. If, for example, you believe strongly in scarcity, think about it regularly, & make it the focus of your conversations, it is certain that you will see a great deal of it in your life. On the other h&, if you believe in happiness & abundance, think only about them, talk about them with others, & act on your belief in them, it follows that you are seeing what you believe. The principles set down in this course of NLP may require you to sketch new ideas. Should you diligently follow the prescribed path & apply these principles, you will never again return to the being as you were before. ...
