...Once arriving at University of Phoenix School of Business MBA program with possible concentrations later, a person has reached this point for three reasons. Either to further their current career, start a new career, or achieve a personal goal. In this current program of management I am learning about where I am currently and how to advance within the companies I represent. Internships seem to be the key in what my undergrad has sent me. I have had internships with the city council government and then with a major company Lost Weekend NYC. I am also working on furthering my career with CVS Pharmacy with the possibilities of entering the Pharmacy level again or upper management. The two functional areas of business that interest me with my current positions are Marketing and Human Resources Management. This is based on advice from my previous employers in management, my emphasis in my undergraduate, and my strengths in the career interest profiler and career plan building competencies. The current Marketing Firms, in my mind, has changed here at home in the states and with the international exchange. With our current economy being in recession, most of the world and the country has seen us borrowing money and outsourcing jobs. “We also argue that through the enabling factor of marketing capabilities young firms can capitalize on their speed of internationalization to obtain performance advantages. Furthermore, the performance impact of marketing capabilities, should be more...

A food policy council is an establishment of stakeholders from different sectors and backgrounds such as, food producers, food processors, food distributors, consumers, farmers, wholesalers, restaurants owners, chefs, healthy eating advocates, and food security advocates to collaborate, examine and improve our food system (goodfoodla.org).

...toddler… Parents are crazy competitive…It’s about getting in, fitting in, it’s about belonging. That’s why people sweat it.” (Parent from “Nursery University” documentary, 2007) “In an entrepreneurial city where even volatile commodities like real estate eventually find their equilibrium, the desire for private school seats has outpaced supply for many years, in some cases by an order of magnitude. “ (nytimes.com, 2010). “When the public school Pre-K selections were announced, we were denied acceptance to ALL 10 schools…out of 12 friends with kids hoping to enter Pre-K in the Fall of 2011, not ONE of them got in. You see, simply by not having a sibling already in the system, we had already fallen down the seniority tree, to the very bottom. Which begs to ask, how does one even get a sibling into the system to begin with?” (Moms Confessionals, 2012). Our ideal venture would be a new pre-school in a densely populated residential area that creates value by implementing a modernized curriculum leveraging creative...

Offenders need to pay for their crimes. Deterrence: You understand this from the previous chapter. Rehabilitation: The ‘forgotten’ goal. Restitution: The offender “compensate” the victim, victim’s family of community for the crime. It can be community service or money for property crimes. In the case of murder and violent offense it can be apologizes and/or convincing remorse for their crimes. They help the victim forgiveness is healthier than anger. This is often referred to as Restorative Justice. Types of Incarceration Jails (city and county level): They confine those awaiting trail and those serving ‘short’ sentences. Depending on the state sentences can range from a maximum of one year (NY and NJ) to five years (PA). Approximately 50% of those in jail are bail eligible (they simply cannot afford – you only need to post 10%). Generally conditions in jails are much worse than prison. They tend to be Under-funded, under-staffed, people coming and going, high staff turnover, people coming off the street with drug/alcohol/mental conditions, and far fewer activities. Prisons: State custody, more serious offenders with longer sentences. Prison have far more resources than jails. The Incarceration Binge Causes 1, Three Strikes/Mandatory Minimums:...

...A large number of homeless people entered the street in the 1970s. A large contributing factor is because of deinstitutionalization of medically ill, as well as the changes in housing stock, which led to a dramatic decline of single-room housing that began in the 1950s (Coalition). These single-room housing units provided low-cost housing for low-income families due to several factors such as the shared kitchen and bathroom systems (Coalition). “In 1960, by one measure, there were approximately 129,000 single-room housing units citywide. By the 1970s, single-room housing had become the “housing of last resort” for poor single adults, many of whom were disabled, elderly, addicts, or ex-inmates,” (Coalition). Besides the simple cut of single-room housing, this deinstitutionalization led a discharge of tens of thousands of mentally ill individuals to the New York City communities. According to the Coalition for the Homeless, “between 1965 and 1979 alone, the number of resident patients in State psychiatric centers fell from 85,000 to 27,000, which was a 68 percent decline.” This policy of deinstitutionalization was due to new and different medications and new approaches...

...information necessary; otherwise an analysis will only have the factors of trends and not understand the needs to work towards organizational and functional goals. Performance management and measurements go hand-in-hand but understanding the whole picture of how to improve requires an understanding of what each does for decision makers. Part One – New York City’s Citywide Performance Reporting Online System Dashboard With the transition of mayoral officials comes a new and different perspective on how to address governmental management. In the case of New York City mayor Bloomberg decided his understanding of financial business practices had vital applications to his new responsibilities. One of his initiatives was to create the Citywide Performance Reporting (CPR) online system to assist in the annual evaluation of city agencies which created over 1,000 key performance indicators (KPI). These KPIs measured everything from school grades to road maintenance and anything in-between (Turban, Sharda, & Delen, 2011). Major components of CPR were categorized into three areas. First was performance management application; the backend computing power which provided access for agencies to input data in one location. Second was the analytics tool and dashboard where information was provided on the front-end of system. Information on trends and performance could be obtained in several forms (i.e. summaries and graphics). The third area was data definition, where information...

...Sarin Revisited: Attacking America’s Mass Transit The following paper is a work of fiction for an academic exercise and in no way is meant to imply actual terrorist plans or intents. BACKGROUND: Sarin is one of the most lethal and effective nerve agents available. It can be used in liquid or gas forms, and it can kill within 1 to 10 minutes (CDC). Sarin is flexible and can be used to poison the air both indoors and outdoors, attached to an explosive, sprayed over crops or added to water supplies. Even those who happen to receive immediate medical attention will likely be permanently physically and or mentally handicapped (LaFranchi). Sarin would be an excellent addition to our organization’s stockpile as it can be used in a wide variety of situations across the globe with high effectiveness. ACQUISITION: Sarin gas has been declared illegal by the UN since the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 and it was declared a weapon of mass destruction by UN Resolution 687. As such, it is illegal for just about any state (who has signed onto the convention) to manufacture, own, stockpile or distribute sarin. While this may seem like it will complicate acquisition, there are currently sources to exploit where we already have control and/or influence. According to Woodward, Aum Shinrikyo was able to create a facility to produce sarin gas with only $30 million USD. This is a paltry sum now that we have allies and subgroups consolidating and commanding territories in Syria and Iraq...

...Many ecologists, and environmentalists dream of a world where only 100% clean energy sources are used. Countries will utilize renewable energy and heating sources such us solar, wind, biomass, and more instead of using oils and chemicals that have proven to be detrimental not only to the planet, but to the health of all organisms inhabiting it. There is no doubt that is the goal most environmentalists and scientists have in mind, however it is not such a feasible goal for the near future. Instead, scientists must find a right now solution that can be placed into effect today. It may not be the 100% clean energy they dream of, but it is a stepping stone in the road there. That stepping stone is Natural Gas. Prior to the 21st century, most Americans heated their homes with a heating oil system. As of 2014, 6.5 million American households were still equipped to this system. 87% of them are coming directly from the Northeastern region of the United States. A heating oil system uses petroleum products to provide heat to buildings. These petroleum products are derived from crude oil at refineries. Crude oil is a fossil fuel, which is consists of hydrocarbons. It is removed from deep within the Earth, where it is found in a liquid state. (EIA,2015) When the crude oil is transformed into petroleum products and then burned, many harmful chemicals are released into the air. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM 2.5) and more...

...Improving Academic Performance and Achievement of children and youth in foster care Joanna Bermudez Mercy College Summer 2013 Introduction and Problem Statement Approximately fifty percent of adolescents in this country’s foster care system are graduating from high school each year. In NYS, less than forty-four percent of adolescent’s in the foster care system graduate from high school yearly. The outcomes of youth who leave the foster care system between the ages of 18 and 21 are statistically grim; less than 50% of these youth are equipped with a high school diploma (Scannapeieco, Connel-Carrick, and Pinter, 2007), and with-in two years of leaving the system, 25% of them face unemployment, homelessness, and/or incarceration (Krinsky, 2007). For all children, especially children in foster care, having the proper advocacy, stability, educational coordination and guidance are vital in ensuring their academic success. Unfortunately, children in foster care are less likely to receive these components to assist them in becoming successful in academia, which in turn affects their chances to live a productive adult life. The needs of the children and youth in foster care are in need of reformation across each state throughout the nation. Since the development of foster care, the focus of intervention has and continues to be a reactive approach, instead of a tactical approach. The intervention of foster care seeks to ensure the physical safety and well-being of each child...

...Personal Branding MKT/421 March 16, 2015 Personal Branding For many years branding has been used for creating and maintaining business and their reputations. As technology evolves so does the term branding, where it is also used to identify a person’s foundation. “Personal branding is the process of developing a mark or career. You use this mark to express and communicate your skills, personality and values” (Lake, n.d.). Building a personal brand one must evaluate and assess his or her image and see oneself in the ways others are and will find that individual. An individual must develop and enhance ones’ professional presence and making sure that this image reflects and benefits this individual in the world of diversity. “A strong personal brand can yield tremendous ROI whether you are working with an organization or leading one” (Forbes, 2014). When a resume is selected, a recruiter takes just a few minutes to review the information that is on the resume. In order to be a part of that process ones’ resume must possess the quality and experience that is required for the position. In addition, the resume should reflect the job description and ones’ experience should be in alignment as well. In this paper I will discuss my background, identify three to four companies I would love to work for in the future, my reasoning and determining the best methods for contacting and engaging recruiters. Background Having a personal brand is just as important as having...
