...My Life Plan Vonda Shields My name is Vonda Shields., from Mobile Alabama. In this town you would think you can live up your dreams, but not much happening here. I have a lot of dreams. When I was a kid my dream is to be a Paralegal, and as the time goes by, I have other dreams, at times, and I wanted to be a Nurse, or a teacher and other motivating dreams. But now I have grown-up, now I know what I want to be. Currently, I’m nearly finished my educations at Keiser University. I will obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies. After I graduate, I want to work in a law office. I want to be Senior Paralegal in any case. I prefer working in a big city because it gives me a challenge to work there plus pay me higher salary. All of this is just the beginning of my dreams. Afterwards I will work for 4 or 5 year, I will have a lot of money by that time. I will resign from my job and start a business. Maybe one day start an antique business like my grandmother did. My dream is to be rich, that is the biggest dream. Afterwards or during my business, I am going to marry a handsome and intelligent man. I will start to make a family and planned to have 2 children positively a boy or girl. That dream went away after high school, now I just want to get married or enjoy the single life. I will live in a big house with a garden like my paw paw had. Maybe a pool so my children can play inside the yard because if they play outside It would be risky. Must keep them...

...“Monarchy returned mot because of its own strengths but because of the weaknesses of the regimes it replaced.” Assess the validity of this view with reference to the years 1658 to 1660 Following the death of Oliver Cromwell England needed a ruler that could gain support of the army, who, since the execution of Charles I in 1649 had been the most influential groups in the country. The successor of Oliver was his son, Richard who seemingly did not possess the characteristics of his late father. The key to control of the country and the regimes following those of Oliver lay in whether a leader had the military prowess similar to that of Oliver. Furthermore the issue of whether monarchy came to power as a result of its own powers or due to the failures of various regimes that preceded it is only answered by taking into consideration the weaknesses of the regimes and the strengths of the monarchy. Following the death of Oliver Cromwell, Richard Cromwell became Lord Protector under the terms of the Humble Petition and Advice. Unlike his father Richard found it difficult to keep a balance with the remands of the army, religious radicals and traditionalists. Due to the amount of power held by the army, the power of the Protector was dependent upon the army. The lower ranks of the army resented the fact that Richard was not a soldier; on the other hand the higher ranks supported such a leader mainly because they could easily manipulate him and use him to voice their views. It is...

...Analysis [Broken] Dreams The album Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is considered to be one of the best albums of all time by critics (Rumours). This album was the peak of the band’s success but also represented the end of several relationships within the group. During the time the album was made, drummer Mick Fleetwood was going through a divorce, band members John and Christine McVie were separated, and Stevie Nick’s eight year relationship with Lindsey Buckingham had ended. Through the tension, the band was able to produce a mix of emotionally charged songs. Within the album, “Dreams” received the best feedback. The song talks about how a guy that wants his freedom by being single, but also the inevitability of loneliness he will feel once he realizes what he’s lost. When analyzing the lyrics the complexity of emotions is apparent and familiar to many audiences. The first verse, “Now here you go again. You say you want your freedom. Well who am I to keep you down?” sets the stage for the breakup (Fleetwood Mac). The use of the word again shows the frustration Stevie felt when Buckingham was not trying to meet her needs and instead wanted the freedom to do things for himself. The wording, “keep you down” applies to the idea that Stevie felt she did not have the right to control his independence. With a more accepting tone Stevie sings, “It’s only right that you should play the way you feel it” but continues with a warning (Fleetwood Mac). “But listen carefully to the sound...

...A Dream, a vision, a goal, a desire, these are all things most of us know we need when we are working towards success but have somewhere along the line, forgotten why it is so important we follow them through. The 16 Reasons Why It Is So Important To Follow Your Dreams 1. The secret of living is giving, if you follow your dreams then you will have something 5. Dreams can distract you from the negative events in life. You will weigh up what is more important, your dreams or the drama. Drama seems obsolete when you are passionate about following your dreams. 6. It gives you something to share and inspire your kids with, you have led by example that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. 7. Through accomplishing your dreams you will come to appreciate the experience of failure and know that failure is just part of success and that it wasn’t really all that bad as it was all worth it in the end. 8. Regret is a terrible thing, and a dream is powerful enough to bring you regret if you don’t take the chance to at least follow it. 9. Because you are never too old to dream. Age means nothing when we know what we want. 10. You become an interesting person, you show others you have meaning, direction and purpose. 11. The unknown of following your dreams may spark a little fear, this is okay though because a little fear is known to make you feel more alive. 12. It is fun proving the world wrong, so why would you follow the status quo? 13. The more you chase and accomplish...

...The concert I chose to watch on the internet was Fleetwood Mac. This concert was the Mirage Tour. This concert took place on October 21 and 22 in 1982. Fleetwood Mac consists of Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, and Christie McVie. Stevie Nicks was one of the main vocalists as well as Christie McVie. John McVie, Christie’s wife, used the bass guitar along with Mick Fleetwood who would use the drums and percussion. Lindsey Buckingham also sang, played the guitar, and played the keyboards. They performed collectively as a group. I chose this group because I have always liked their music or even just Stevie Nick’s music. I grew up listening to their music from my mom and aunt always playing it. I just love Stevie Nick’s voice she has as amazing voice. The music that was performed at this concert was Pop with a combination of rock and contemporary. While listening to this concert it, in my opinion, had a blues kind of vibe as well. Their music has never been considered to be blues, but it just had a feel like blues does. It defiantly had some strong rock tunes throughout the concert. They even used their instruments as another instrument, which I thought was kind of amazing. They would beat on their guitars and even use their feet. The concert was more about the musical instruments and how they were played more than there was singing. Fleetwood Mac is a British American group that has formed and evolved thru many years. They started in the 1960’s specifically...

...Article Essential Layers, Artifacts, and Dependencies of Enterprise Architecture By Robert Winter and Ronny Fischer Abstract After a period where implementation speed was more important than integration, consistency and reduction of complexity, architectural considerations have become a key issue of information management in recent years again. Enterprise architecture is widely accepted as an essential mechanism for ensuring agility and consistency, compliance and efficiency. Although standards like TOGAF and FEAF have developed, however, there is no common agreement on which architecture layers, which artifact types and which dependencies constitute the essence of enterprise architecture. This paper contributes to the identification of essential elements of enterprise architecture by (1) specifying enterprise architecture as a hierarchical, multilevel system comprising aggregation hierarchies, architecture layers and views, (2) discussing enterprise architecture frameworks with regard to essential elements, (3) proposing interfacing requirements of enterprise architecture with other architecture models and (4) matching these findings with current enterprise architecture practice in several large companies. Keywords enterprise architecture, architectural components, architectural layers, architectural views, interfaces ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE: DEFINITION According to ANSI/IEEE Std 1471-2000, architecture is defined as the “ fundamental organization of a system, embodied in...

...Lincoln Electric, a company started over a century ago by John Lincoln had grown from a small electric motor company into the worldwide leader in welding consumables and other innovative products. It's success is attributed to dynamic and innovative products coupled with leadership based on shared-knowledge and adaptable incentive plans for it's employees. These incentive plans included company stock offerings, stock bonuses, good salaries, paid vacation, and guaranteed jobs. The incentives were believed to have contributed to the incredible success of the organization, and could be utilized as a model to their international operations.. Though Lincoln had a string of international success in their Canadian, Australian, and French operation,they were failing to realize profits internationally despite having rapid sales growth. Their balance sheet took a major hit as their debt began to climb, and were beginning to run low on cash. There were a number of causes to this failed policy. Just to name a few, acquisitions, management, and a poor business environment. As a result of their acquisitions, they were entering new markets that had poor labor management, unions, and low productivity. The management was dislocated abroad, and local management was highly inadequate. Secondly, the business environment was also poor. They were in the middle of a global recession, and the market was overpriced for companies. They would eventually learn from their mistakes, raise...

...Wal-Mart Stores is an irresistible retail shopping force in the world we live in today. Majority of our fellow Americans have shopped at the nation’s number one retailer one time or another due to their catchy motto, “Save Money. Live Better.” or “Every Day Low Prices.”. It is also the number one retailer in Canada and Mexico. Today, the company employs 2.2 million associates worldwide and serves 200 million customers each week at more than 10,000 stores in 27 countries. One of those recently added countries being India. India is the second largest country with a population of over 1.2 billion people. The country thrives off of small businesses headed by poor families trying to make a living and to support their families. In the past decade however, India has made it clear they want to expand their horizons. This idea is not favored with everyone due to the fear of forgetting India’s roots and traditions to the modern way (or Western way). It is also causing a stir about the decline in profit to small businesses. The value of Indian economic output in 2012 will be $1.95 trillion and $2.12 trillion in 2013. That makes it one of the 10 largest economies in the world. India has already overtaken several rich countries such as Canada as far as the size of its economy goes. But faster economic growth is important as well as creating a robust economy that offers many opportunities to 1.2 billion Indians. The way to ensure this is not temporary; it’s monetary and fiscal...

...IT3200 Scott Morrissette December 11, 2010 Enterprise Architecture Proposal Project: Revision Plans Every company has a set of capabilities that can be digitized to ensure reliability, high quality, low cost, and timeliness (A-G Magazine, 2008). Money Making Finance has long endured their IT department as the bottleneck rather than an asset. The company has done well over the years without integration; however, as the company continues to grow exponentially, all branches and departments require the need for integration. A coordination model calls for high levels of integration but little standardization of processes (Robertson, Ross, & Weill, 2006). Implementing a coordination model will allow the financial advisors at each branch the power to negotiate and customize their experiences with customers. The focal point of the EA implementation will be the integration of shared data and services by all branches and departments across the world. By focusing IT investments on enabling the integration and standardization required of the company’s operating model, a company prepares itself for future strategic initiatives, without knowing what those initiatives might be (Robertson, Ross, & Weill, 2006) The operating model that has been set forth for Money Making Finance is no doubtable an excellent decision. Other financial and insurance companies have benefited immensely operating their EAs as coordination models to include MetLife and TD BankNorth. Coordination allows companies...

...Technology Accenture IT Strategy and Transformation Services: Maximizing the Value of IT for Today and Tomorrow IT leaders face a formidable challenge: meeting their organizations’ high expectations of IT services while controlling costs and preparing IT to meet the future needs of the business. Amidst increasing globalization and the ever-evolving and complex business and technology landscapes, organizations expect their IT leaders to make strategic investments that will support business growth and agility, capitalize on new and existing technologies to gain competitive advantage, and align IT priorities with business needs. Accenture’s ongoing High Performance IT research reveals that while CIOs want to contribute significant value for their organizations, a host of factors—notably cost-cutting mandates, “keeping the lights on” and fixing troubled projects—inhibit the CIO’s ability to be a value creator. Despite these realities, the research indicates that high-performance IT organizations consistently achieve excellence in IT execution, IT agility and IT innovation, balancing the sometimes opposing demands placed on IT organizations. To respond effectively to today’s challenges, IT organizations need to work differently, leveraging technology in new ways to achieve business results while keeping operating costs low. Accenture helps organizations quickly identify how IT can fuel high performance. We team with IT and business leaders to plan and deploy IT for the most...
