...Up All Night Inc. 24-hour Childcare Service Marketing Plan Artiesha Artis Strayer University Professor Thomas Matula MKT 500: Marketing Management May 4, 2014 I. Executive Summary Up All Night Inc. is a small business in the first year of transitioning from a home based daycare center. Up All Night provides extended hours daycare services to individuals mainly parents and single parents. Up All Night Inc. currently employs 18 dedicated employees who are parents themselves and understand the challenges that many parents face finding trustworthy, capable individuals to care for your most precious treasures. The daycare center performs at its highest volume during the summer months but yearly the business is steady. One major challenge facing Up All Night Inc. is maintaining affordability is a sometimes tumultuous economy. II. Environmental Analysis Founded as a small home daycare, Up all night Inc. has evolved into an affordable overnight daycare center that provides childcare services to individuals that work overnight or extended hours. In 2001 when I became a single mother and started working overnight to be at home with my child during the day I saw the need to solve the common problem that many single mothers/parents encounter, starting with just 3 children from colleagues that I previously worked with. Overnight Up All night Inc. has become a success. In the near future, Up All Night Inc. plans to extend its services opening multiple locations and possibly...

...Starry Night Analysis Date of Creation: 1889 Height (cm): 73.70 Length (cm): 92.10 Medium: Oil Support: Canvas Subject: Landscapes Characteristics: Post-impressionism Framed: Yes Art Movement: Post-Impressionism Created by: Vincent van Gogh Current Location: New York, New York Owner: Museum of Modern Art Starry Night Analysis Page's Content Composition Use of color Use of Light Mood, Tone and Emotion Brushstroke Starry Night Composition Top Starry Night Vincent van Gogh The night sky depicted by van Gogh in the Starry Night painting is brimming with whirling clouds, shining stars, and a bright crescent moon. The setting is one that viewers can relate to and van Gogh´s swirling sky directs the viewer´s eye around the painting, with spacing between the stars and the curving contours creating a dot-to-dot effect. These internal elements ensure fluidity and such contours were important for the artist even though they were becoming less significant for other Impressionists. Thus Starry Night´s composition was distinct from the Impressionist technique of the 19thcentury. The artist was aware that his Starry Night composition was somewhat surreal and stylized and in a letter to his brother he even referred to "exaggerations in terms of composition. " The vivid style chosen by van Gogh was unusual - he chose lines to portray this night scene when silhouettes would have been a more obvious choice. In Starry Night contoured forms are...

...Graveyard Shift Is having student loan debt for the rest of your life worth it for a college degree? Would you work the night shift to get a majority of your school paid for? For the people that work, are they getting enough rest to excel in the classroom? A college degree makes you money while doing less work, but people without a college education usually work tireless hours to make half the amount. It’s Monday morning, a person just finished working a six-hour shift. They have just gotten get off at 5 am, and have class at 8 am, how do they cope? Studies show working more than 15 hours can affect a student’s success in the classroom (Semuels, p. 210). Also, people who went through 35 hours of sleep deprivation saw two letter grade drops in classes (Semuels, p. 211). Working a job, especially the night shift doesn’t seem like a bright idea? Some schools offer programs to work during the night and receive half...

...May 10, 2015 I have decided to take the optional approach to the class project. I will be discussing the work schedule for the skilled team members at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX) in San Antonio Texas. This work schedule change was done to provide the company with more man hours to do maintenance on the equipment. I was involved in the change by providing feedback to the different options that were given to skill team members to vote on or give their version on how to increased man hours. And once the change was made I was working the new hours. The company had a minimum of hours that it thought were necessary to do maintenance on equipment (30,000 hours a year), it was not meeting those goals. Toyota thought process is that change to make a process work better for the company is something that should be always ongoing, so several ideas were brought up for discussion. At TMMTX when an idea for change is thought up it is goes through management and team members to get feedback of the proposal. None of the proposal or feedback that would change the proposal would increase the necessary man hours to do the work, so the suggestion from a team member that worked at DuPont suggested their work schedule. This schedule was looked at and passed through management and team members, than voted on and approved with a majority. The work schedule that skill team members were on was two weeks Monday-Friday working 5:30 AM to 2:15 PM (with 45 min. of unpaid...

...The works of and Jackson Pollock’s Male and Female, Vincent van Gogh’s Night Café, and Grant Wood’s American Gothic, provide examples of art pertaining to the styles of abstraction, expressionism and realism, respectively. Abstract art tends to detach completely from the physical appearance of the perceived subject matter. Expressionism can be defined by works in which the subject matter is deliberately manipulated to achieve an enhanced or exaggerated effect on the viewer. Finally, realism can be defined by an appraisal of objects, people, or scenery as they appear, without a gross distortion of reality. Pollock’s Male and Female was completed in 1942 utilizing oil on canvas. The painting depicts two dark, vertical shapes only vaguely offering hints suggesting the male and female subject matter. To the right is the male form, with its body covered with numbers and markings, while the female form appears on the left, and is mainly revealed by its extravagant eyelashes. Surrounding these two “figures,” and dividing them are a number of abstract nodes of color, rarely having a cohesive pattern. Were the painting unnamed, the viewer may be hard pressed to even make out the two forms. Upon research into the history of the painting and the artist, it’s worth nothing that Pollock suffered from recurring alcoholism and likely depression throughout his adult life. Male and Female was created during a time in which Pollock was undergoing mental therapy, and was very likely encouraged...

...would love to study at night before going to bed, while thousand others will love to study at dawn. Late night is normally quiet and you are unlikely to be disturbed by anyone. Besides you have longer hours to review all your notes and works unlike the dawn when you will have to race against time. A thorough review at night will help you remember the whole thing you have learnt while the hesitant studying at the dawn is highly prone to forgetting. This is true for a particular group of people. This is entirely against the theory of “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise”. Waking up the whole night to study for exams is sure to affect your health. Late night study is less productive as the mind loses concentration late at night. Lack of sleep affects your daily life. It weakens the strength of the students and you can lose focus during the examination. It will also lead to serious memory impairment, thus making no use of the hard work and study. Research has suggested that sleep and good memory are bed fellows. Burning midnight oil harms more than it serves. The researchers say that at least a good night sleep within 30 hours is needed to remember a new task later. Science has also said that teen brains work most effectively at night. However, the scientists concluded that a good night's sleep, which includes both slow-wave and REM (Rapid eye movement) sleep, produces the most effective performances. What matters is not late night studying or early dawn...

... Uschan Professor Lilly Introduction to Humanities II 14EW2 30 November 2014 Starry Night and The Course of the Empire: Desolation Starry Night was created by Vincent Van Gogh during the Post Impressionism period. Starry Night was painted in oil on canvas in June 1889, and the dimensions are 29 x 36 ¼ inches. This painting is on display at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, New York. The Course of the Empire: Desolation was created by Thomas Cole during the Romanticism period. Desolation was painted in oil on canvas is 1836, and the dimensions are 62.99 x 39.37 inches. This painting is on display at The New York Historical Society in New York, New York. Fig. 1. Starry Night Fig. 2. The Course of the Empire: Desolation Starry Night is an embodiment of the Post Impressionism period. The rejection of the Impressionists concern with natural lighting and color in favor of an emphasis on abstract qualities or symbols is seen through this piece as Van Gogh uses impasto to create vibrant, glowing stars in the night sky. There is a dynamic energy to this piece seen through the exploding stars in contrast to the quiet, sleeping village. Starry Night was created while Van Gogh was in an Asylum at Saint-Remy, France and was recreated from memory. There is a mixture of imagination and reality throughout the piece. While the night sky is the rendition of a sky Van Gogh saw while living in the South of France, the church...

...Insomnia I woke up, bathed in sweat. Once again a nightmare disturbed my night´s sleep. It was too early to early to get up, but I was restless. I knew I would not be able to fall asleep again, doesn´t matter how hard I´d try. I hated to get up at an unearthly hour! I rolled out of bed and trudged into the kitchen to have some lemonade. It was still dark outside and the windy weather made the trees outside scratch against my windows. The thought about my nightmare disgusted me. I drank my glass of lemonade at one go. Afterwards I went to the bathroom to get some cold water in my face to refresh up a bit. I looked myself in the eyes in the mirror with dislike, wondering why such nightmares were torturing me night after night. I hated myself for that, but could not help it anyway. All day long at work I was absent and worn out. All I could think about was that I wanted some sleep. I felt like I did not sleep a wink last night. Pictures from the nightmare whirled around in my head like an infinite movie. The whole day was a pure nightmare too, people looked strangely at me like I was a sick person instead of asking how I felt. But on the other hand I would not like to answer if they did anyway. None of their business. That night I lay in my bed and stared around in the room for indefinite time. I felt so tired, but I was afraid of falling asleep to get hunted by nightmares again. I thought about how I could make an end of this riot. I was sick and tired of that condition...

...An Analysis of “Acquainted with the Night” by Robert Frost Many of Robert Frost's works have been interpreted as autobiographical, incorporating his love for the natural world in the thoughts and feelings of the speakers of his poetry. The genius of his work however lies in the broad meaning of his words so that they apply to everyone. In his poem "Acquainted with the Night", Frost uses symbolism and rhythm skims to convey through the speaker what many feel are lonesome feelings of isolation from some awful deeds, which the speaker feels ashamed of. Others may view the poem as being full of optimistic, life proclaiming symbolism that reflects the speaker's pride in choosing the road less traveled. His use of symbolic ideas allows for his work to be interpreted in various ways, and every reader can find their own meaning to his words. Robert Frost experienced many losses in his life including his father in 1885, his mother in 1900, his sister in 1929, and four of his six children, two of which died at very early ages. Of course everyone experiences losses in their lives, but one can imagine the profound effect the death of a child would have on one's disposition. The often gloomy and even depressing tones of many of his poems can be seen as a projection of his own depression and feelings of loss. Most people read "Acquainted with the Night" as dealing with the ideas of loneliness, depression, sufferings, and even contemplation of suicide. Everyone can relate to the feelings...

...insanity, instability, and his pure obsession with the art he created, but the first time I saw Starry Night, I was overcome with an immense feeling of calmness and serenity that completely took me by surprise. Van Gogh’s Starry Night was one of the many works painted during his time in the Saint-Remy Asylum in 1889 and is now one of the most recognizable and desirable works of art in the world. Starry Night now resides in The Museum of Modern Art it New York, New York where it is admired and appreciated by thousands of people daily. I honestly don’t know the true definition of my feelings towards the painting. I only know that it stands out to me more so than any of his other works. When I see Starry Night, I see the dark sky that Van Gogh saw; and not only the darkness, but the exact opposite as well. I see the extreme brightness and color that he emphasizes throughout the night sky. He portrays the colors of the night with such brilliance and I am irrevocably drawn to that. Van Gogh gives the wind, literal and unmistakable movement that is impossible to interpret in any other way. The stars are oversized and shine brighter than our current reality, but I would assume it was to emphasize their brightness, and it’s a possibility that Van Gogh had a much better view of the stars than we do now and lived without our mass amounts of modern light pollution. The color blue in Starry Night is what I, and what I would assume many other people would be initially drawn to. It is the dominant...
