With the effects of globalization, increases in technology and the

pace of life invade more and more areas of everyday life, and free time

has become an increasing precious and important resource. For those 【M1】_________

pursuing leisure lifestyles deriving from consuming the “riches” of the 【M2】_________

leisure market and for those who are experiencing a shortage of free

time—a “time squeeze” leisure may offer many benefits but also some

costs. For a growing number of people looking forward to abundant 【M3】_________

free time in retirement and for the increasing number of young people

who are experiencing reduced activity levels, and problems of

overweight and reduced fitness, leisure has never been vital for ensuring 【M4】_________

individual and social health and well-being.

At the macro level, the social, cultural, environmental health and

economic significance of leisure and events have been increased in New 【M5】_________

Zealand and around the world. Leisure and events and areas that address

these phenomenon, including play, recreation, the arts, sport, 【M6】_________

festivals, celebrations, health and fitness, outdoor recreation, parks,

entertainment and tourism, are important aspects of modern life and

providing for these are an increasingly significant feature in modern 【M7】_________

economies. They can play a vital part in enhancing social capital

and quality of lives. 【M8】_________

This research theme has been established to get farther knowledge 【M9】_________

and understanding of the ways of leisure and events, and their associated

forms, contributing to individual and social health and well-being,

quality of life and social, cultural, environmental and economic

development. Better knowledge of these broad phenomena will inform

policies to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs associated to the 【M10】________

production and consumption of leisure and events.

The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our

food supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty

in affixing legal responsibility on these who continue to treat our 【M1】_________

environment with reckless abandon. Attempts to prevent pollution by

legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion has been met by 【M2】_________

lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays—not only in

accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it.

It seems which only when the government decides that it can afford 【M3】_________

tax incentives or production sacrifices there any initiative for change. 【M4】_________

Where is industry and our recognition that protecting mankind’s great 【M5】_________

treasure is the single most important responsibility? As there will be time 【M6】_________

for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and

provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.

We are being asked, and, the public is demanding we took positive 【M7】_________

action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to

make the difference. Yes, the ecologists, the environmental activists

and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and

promote to behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid 【M8】_________

to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental

standards, I submit, whom must lead the change. 【M9】_________

We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at

city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no

longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize

issues in every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must 【M10】_________

express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.

The aim of a job interview is to establish whether you are likely to

do well in a particular job in a specific organization. This is not only a

matter of having the necessary technological knowledge and skills. You 【M1】________

must also have the motivation, the ability to adopt to new ways of 【M2】________

working and to a new work environment, and the personality to do the

job and fit into a new team. But there are other personal skills affect 【M3】________

your success in a job. These include getting on with people, oral or 【M4】________

written communication, team working, problem solving and good time

management.

Most people think that interviewers know what they are looking for

and will recognize when they see it. However, people are actually not 【M5】_________

very good at assessing one and another. This applies to recruiters as 【M6】_________

much as anyone else. In fact, a former head of selection at one big firm

used to say that “some interviewers are so poor that they would do better

to rely on chances”.

In companies which recognize this, various methods are used to try

to find the correct person. The most common is the structured 【M7】_________

interview. Research has shown that this approach is more reliable than

the ordinary job interview, even no as effective as using tests or 【M8】_________

assessment centers. In a structured interview the interviewer groups the

qualities listing in the job specification under various headings. There are 【M9】_________

two well-established structures for this: the National Institute of

Industrial Psychology’s Seven-Point Plan and the Five-Fold Grading

System. The interviewers score candidates for how well they fit the job 【M10】________

specification.
