Childhood Obesity has come across as one of the rampant health concern in United States. The causes engendering to childhood obesity are multifactorial but food companies are often criticized. Particular attention has been focused on the aggressive food marketing stunts adopted to lure children. Comprehending these marketing strategies is of major importance in combating this problem. Employing a comprehensive literature review on marketing food to children and their impacts create the crux of this article The tactics embraced by companies include advertisements through Television, Internet and Advergaming, In-school marketing; these strategies influence children's dietary consumption, eating preferences and purchase requests. A lot of emphasis needs to be given on self-regulations, policy implications and government intervention to demonstrate stealth advertising and promote healthy lifestyle amongst children. Although a large body of research advocates the direct connection between food advertising to children and obesity but nothing has been grounded so far.

This paper focuses on discussing and demonstrating multiculturalism. It also discusses the important factors that affect multiculturalism and how multiculturalism might be incorporated into the society to create a more convenient environment for all people. This search was carried out using peer reviewed journal articles and books which provided us with sufficient information on the subject of multiculturalism. Other readings which gave more insight into this work were done through the JSTOR and IEEE websites. There are four main factors which affect Multiculturalism. These factors stress the main importance of multiculturalism and the interaction between cultures. For instance, communication between cultures is done through language. In addition, business can also have an impact on the interaction between two or more cultures. Furthermore, it has been highlighted that education plays a vital role with regards to the issue of multiculturalism. Multicultural education may affect the new generation. Children are known to adapt more easily to multicultural situations. Moreover, the interaction between cultures could be affected by the cooperation among nations. The limitation and the statistic are that it is not easy to get the specific results from these factors. For instance, in the world wide the globalization is considered as a way to face the change in multiculturalism. With this limitation we could obviously see the fundamental of multiculturalism. Finally, the evidence supported the attitude multiculturalism's ability that is based on the perspective these factors.
We live in a world with a population of more than 7.1 Billion, have we ever imagine how many Leaders do we have? Yes, most of us are followers; we live in a world where we follow what have been commanded. The intension of this paper is to equip everyone with some knowledge to know how we can identify who leaders are, are you one of them, and how can we help our-selves and other develop leadership qualities. The Model highlights various traits which are very necessary for leadership. This paper have been investigate and put together after probing almost 30 other research papers. The Principal result we arrived on was that the major/ essential traits which are identified in a Leader are Honesty, Integrity, Drive (Achievement, Motivation, Ambition, Energy, Tenacity and Initiative), Self Confidence, Vision and Cognitive Ability. The Key finding also says that the people with such qualities are not necessary to be in politics, but they are from various walks of life such as major organization, different culture, background, education and ethnicities. Also we found out that just possessing of such traits alone does not guarantee one leadership success as evidence shows that effective leaders are different in nature from most of the other people in certain key respects. So, let us go through the paper to enhance out our mental abilities to search for the Leaders out there.

This paper aims to review the design of medical devices and investigate its relationship among different factors that must be taken into consideration throughout the process. The theoretical foundation of this paper was formed by conducting a comprehensive literature review on medical device design. A new model is presented to illustrate the relationship between medical device design and four specific success factors. The model shows that product development, tissue modeling, training, and FDA regulations are the four primary success factors that are essential to medical device design. The proposed model clearly shows how device manufacturers must take into consideration many factors during the design process in order to have commercial success with their equipment. This paper demonstrates that medical device design is a unique and complicated process, which requires the utilization of a specialized cross-functional team to overcome the various obstacles along the way.
