The main purpose of this study was to discover if and why some small California secondary schools fail to provide continuation education. The study involved two problems: First, to show the arrangements, methods, and problems encountered in carrying out statutory provisions concerning continuation education in small secondary schools; Second, to determine the attitude of secondary school administrators toward continuation education.

In the discipline of fashion, wardrobe staples and evening wear are two clothing categories with different purpose and used for different occasions. Wardrobe staples consist of classic garments used in our everyday life in contrast to evening wear which stands for elegant and decorative expression. This study was aimed at developing garment hybrids in between the clothing categories wardrobe staples and evening wear. Wardrobe staples and evening wear are separated because of their different characteristics, this study aims to developing garment hybrids in between the clothing categories wardrobe staples and evening wear. The motive is to look beyond the categorizations and combined their differences to a new whole, for example, a wrinkled shirt in contrast to lace gloves. These two categories consist of design that for a long time, has been settle and the same, with a clear expression and usage there are room and opportunity for renovation and change. In these established categories there are distinct right and wrong regarding shape, materials and details and minor changes can transform the whole expression. The sample was selected from a visual investigation of what characterize wardrobe staples and evening wear. These characteristics were explored physically through deconstruct the expression of wardrobe staples by adding features from evening wear to create hybrids. The contrast and differences of wardrobe staples and evening wear are altered both in shape, materials and details and therefore, in this study, various ways of changing the appearance of wardrob staples will be demonstrated. The experiments were evaluated how and how much the added feature from evening wear affects the final outcome, depending on the chosen wardrobe staple how obvious the feature has to be. The collection is showcasing garments and outfits that more or less implanted of evening wear features as well as in different ways are implanted by the features, for example as a garment or material. This study suggesting new expressions of what we already use but for long has been unchanged.

The prevalence of physical inactivity has been recognized as a risk factor for multiple chronic disease conditions in both adults and children. Recently efforts to increase healthy behaviors have been promoted through religious groups (Ken Resnicow et al., 2002). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) has a unique program called Family Home Evening (FHE) that could be used to teach and potentially improve physical activity. Six FHE lessons were designed to be taught in 6 consecutive weeks within a family environment. A total of 84 families (parents and children) were recruited for participation. Participating families were randomized into either the control or intervention group. All family members were given pedometers to be worn one week prior to, and one week after the 6-week intervention. The intervention group FHE lessons covered physical activity promoting topics, and the control group was given traditional religious topics for their FHE lessons. ANOVA indicated that in children there was an increase in daily steps in the intervention group (12482.8 SD=4455.3) compared to the control group (11255.4 SD=4048.9), which was statistically significant (F (1,85) = 3.93, p=.05). In adults there was an increase in steps in the intervention group from pre to posttest of 8823.5 (SD=3858.3) to 9947.4 (SD=4222.8) this difference was statistically significant (t = -2.94, p<.01). There was no significant change in pedometer steps for the control group in either adults or children. Results of this study suggest that FHE may be a useful mechanism for increasing steps taken daily. There are other factors that may increase the effectiveness of the lessons such as readiness of the participants to change, number of lessons, lesson content and/or time between lessons.

This study was undertaken for the purpose of determining the effectiveness of L.D.S. Seminary-oriented home night program. The home night program consisted of an experimental group of students holding weekly home nights with their parents, following discussion of gospel principles in Seminary during the school hours. A control group was established which supplemented its program writing weekly summaries instead of directing a home night.
