...In this assignment I am going to be talking about a complex piece of work that I have already done for an assignment, and I will be explaining the value of 3 different resources and evaluating the 3 sources in terms of validity. The 3 resources that I am going to be talking about are: the internet, a text book, and NHS facts. I found all of these resources useful in different ways, and also reliable in different ways. I chose these particular resources because I have many opinions about them, some good, some bad. The mix of opinions is good because I can discuss both sides, and have a good balance between the opinions. The internet The source that I will be talking about first is the internet. The use of the internet helped me a lot with the assignment, this is because I was easily able to just search up what I needed to and then was able to put it into my own words and add it into my piece of work. I think that it also made my work better because I knew that the websites I was using were reliable and all the information in them was correct. And I think that this made my work good because I knew the information was correct and knew that I didn’t put anything in that was incorrect. Another way that it helped to support my work was that it was quick and easy, it gave me the answers straight away, and I didn’t have to take ages looking for the topic that I needed to know about in a text book. I used bitesize a lot, this is because the information that was on the website was...

...my life, I have had to deal with asthma. From the time that I was born until now , asthma has been a constant issue in my life. When I was born, I immediately had breathing issues. I had to make many emergency room and hospital trips at an early age. The first asthma related attack that I can recall was when I was about five years of age. I vaguely remember this incident, but I do recall the fright that the attack caused me. Being only five years old, I did not really know what was going on. All I knew was that I could not breathe and that is a very scary feeling. As I became older, I have became more interested in why my body does the things that it does. This epiphany came to me after my recent occurrence with my asthma.This revelation motivated me to do my I-Search paper I know that asthma is a respiratory disease that affected my airways, but I wanted to find out more about the exact process of an asthma attack occurring. I know that I have always had asthma, so I assumed that people were just born with it, but I was not for certain so I wanted to find out more. I wanted to know exactly what asthma was and why it caused me to have so much trouble performing the simple task of breathing. I wanted to know how severe asthma can be and if it can even be fatal. I have always had to be on some type of medicine for asthma, but I wanted to find out if there were any different or unique treatment options that could be taken. Since I am no doctor or physician, I decided...

...vacation products and where they can buy vacation products. One of the challenges that Eagle had was that it was unable to attract young people to come in the mall stores and to buy products. How can it create a gathering place for people who love talking about their “trips”. Susan, the marketing manager believes that: “Eagle needs to create a real buzz for our trips. To do this we have to improve our marketing activities and reach more people in their 30s and 20s. It would be great if we could transform our mall stores into an engaging environment for learning from and interacting with customers. Also, it has also been impossible for us to keep our sales people busy during the day. They have little to do during the day, but during the evening customers have to wait 30-45 minutes to ask our sales consultant questions. We are losing customers because they leave before we can talk to them. We offer free coffee and TV programing to customers, but these have not worked. Many customers leave before we talk to them. One of the problems is that our employees do not have any medium that allows them to answer common questions. We also do not have any way of documenting what employees tell customers during the visits to mall stores. We have hired part-time employees to reduce waiting time at peak hours, but that has created a new...

...Support In this paper I will share my experiences of On-Line Tech Support and the adventures of getting problems solved through the use of the Internet. First, I selected the main purpose for my search of on-line tech support. Since I was having problems with my computer with its daily operations, I felt that there was nowhere to turn but to reboot the computer and start from scratch. However, I was not to keen on the idea of erasing all my data and starting over and thought that perhaps there was another way to fix my issues. I used the on-line tech support web site www.Help.com. After searching the Internet for an interesting or catchy home page of Internet tech support, I stumbled upon help.com. I read the intro page and look under some of the discussions and decided to enter the domain and ask my help question. Which was, “ how do you erase your computers data and start all over?” After being prompted to sign up for the account and agreeing to the user agreement options. I started off by reading previous post, for ideas of answers and posted dialogue that was being shared. Unfortunately my question was not asked previous and I had to venture out on my own to request the answer. This website and the postings at this website where very strange to say the least. Several post where very personal and I had a feeling this web site was not just for computer tech problems, but for every day life problems as well. It appeared that I did not select...

...subjects can make you want to fall asleep. I think on Friday’s, school should start way late on Fridays: like around 9:45 or 10:15! If school was to start on Friday’s it has to have reasons why. I looked up on google what the expert say and Dr.Paul Kelley says that Children 8-10 should start at 10:30 or later. Kelley called for an end to early starts at schools, colleges and university to “improve the lives of a generation”. An effect on students if there was to be a later day, is the sleep difference. An expert from CBS News says that middle schools should start later in the morning to give students their much-needed sleep. But Dr.Judith Owens says, “One of the issues is that kids are overscheduled, don’t give them so much work so they can be in bed before midnight. I agree with all these experts, but just because they’re experts doesn't mean they’re true. I only agree with two out of the 4 opinions from all of the doctors or professor’s opinions. I know that school is good for you but,why does it have to start so early? 9:15 would be fine!...

...opposed to brick and mortar) startups? Answer Both Brick-and-Mortar companies and internet startups each face their own unique opportunities and challenges characteristic to their type of business and industry. Opportunities which internet startups have over brick and mortar are detailed below; • Immediate access to a global market place, a platform from where internet companies can mass market products, or use a more intelligent marketing approach through search engines, based on specific search results of users on Google, yahoo, AOL, etc. • Reduced warehousing and distribution costs, if products sold are tangible, through achieving economies of scale by having the portfolio of products on offer available and visible on the website (e-catalogue) and doing all deliveries from one central location. Most companies incorporate a lead time on their products (similar to Apple) and only manufacture once order and payment confirmed, and thereby reducing warehouse costs, almost in totality. • Simple, streamline and efficient business processes are vastly enabled through web functionality and capability. • Access to customer data and their shopping preferences through your e-catalogue records, allows for greater customer relation management possibilities, and also generating higher cross sell and upsell ratios if data is “mined” correctly. • Reduced staff numbers, therefor reduced costs, as interaction is mainly done through the company website, and call center functionality can...

...I think Lauren and I did a good job of evenly distributing the workload we had for this project. Since we knew there needed to be a total of 4 pages for the website, we decided we should each cover two pages while keeping in mind the different difficulty levels for the pages so that neither of us had to do a significant more amount of work. In this way, I chose to makeover the Homepage and “Where is Penny Juice?” page, which we decided was appropriate because the Homepage was a little more difficult, whereas the Location page was a little easier. I think I did a good job of making the Homepage and Location page a lot more visually appealing and informative than they were originally. When I first saw the “Penny Juice” website I felt extremely...

...day-to-day activities when I had a home business selling jewelry was using email and the telephone constantly. The company I worked for provided every one with a home office website that had all the tools needed to do our home business selling lia sophia jewelry. Our managers were always available to answer any questions or offer the consultants advice. This made working for the company more enjoyable as well as the thought of confidence that I was doing well. I would use the company website to submit my orders, handle returns, order catalogs, and to access my personal website that I had through them. Email was a huge factor in my business. I would email my past and current hostesses along with any new leads that I had. I sent out promotional emails advertising what monthly specials were going on as well. I would also use written communication when I sent my new hostesses their show packet. In the packet I would include a written letter from myself, order forms, catalog and instructions on how to plan a show. The company website helped me manage my daily activities with my shows by providing me with a to-do list each day called The Show Assistant. As soon as I would sign on, my list would show up and tell me what I needed to do on that day. Some days I would have to make follow up calls to past customers or send out invitations for my hostess. Whatever I needed to do for each show would automatically show up. This kept me very organized and I didn’t have to have post-it...

...independent, decentralized individuals, their aggregated responses will be more accurate than even the predictions of experts. Although I find myself agreeing with Surowiecki’s findings, I am now of the two minds about his claim that the wisdom of crowds is likely better than the wisest person in the crowd. On the one hand I agree that crowds are wiser than the wisest individual in the crowd. On the other hand, I’m not sure if the additional consideration of monetary gain or personal incentive may have just as a significant impact on the totality of his final results. (Graff and Birkenstein 66) In an effort to prove the theory that there is wisdom in crowds, I decided to start with one of Surowiecki’s direct quotes “The real key, it turns out, is not so much perfecting a particular method, but satisfying the conditions—diversity, independence, and decentralization—that a group needs to be smart. In pursuit of proving this argument true, I’ve conducted my own experiment involving a small group of people, who were asked the following question: “What would you consider the five most vital items needed from an emergency preparedness kit, which would provide you the greatest chances of survival the first 72 hours following a catastrophic event? Although none of my group’s members are considered an expert in emergency or natural disasters, I felt that each of them had resided in California long enough, if not their entire lives, to have a reasonable amount of experience or...

There are two locations for this agency, one in Brentwood, Tennessee and the other in Columbia, Maryland. According to the website, this agency provides individual (adult, child, and adolescent), family, and couples therapy. I will be reviewing the adult intake form, but note that the website also provides a different form for children/adolescents. New clients are asked to complete this completed form, titled Mental Health Intake Form, to the first therapy appointment. The Mental Health Intake Form is seven pages long. There is a note at the top of the first page assuring clients that seven pages may seem daunting, but most...
