...PHL/320 University of Phoenix Robert Sparks June 4, 2015 Critical thinking- The art of exploring questions that focuses on how we think- not what we think; which guides us to improving the way we think. Simply put it is the process of improving the way we think while using certain skills such as having the ability to analyze the information we receive to be able to process, assess and become a critical thinker. One must possess the ability to reason, thus critical thinking allows one to make sound, rational decisions based on the information received as a result of asking probing questions and actively listening for the answers. This way of thinking will offer one more control of their decisions; allowing them to learn by simply inquiring. I have had many debates with close friends about my way of thinking. I was once that person who knew what she knew and would conclude based upon my own knowledge and understanding of how I thought things or situations were supposed to conclude and how one will need to proceed. This way of thinking usually came to life without fact and an overflow of baseless assumptions. Yes, I know this was an awful way of thinking but I am being honest. I was that person who would not ask questions for understanding. I was stubborn and refused any guidance or teaching on the topic. Then I met my match. I found myself toe-to-toe in the ring with as accomplished thinker. My friend helped me to think outside of my box and to cut ties with my over-imaginative...

...Get Me In, Part 4: Create a Plan to Monetize a Song V J L Mus 320 February 18, 2016 Get Me In, Part 4: Create a Plan to Monetize a Song In week 3 we were asked to create a publicity, marketing, and promotional strategy designed to introduce the specific artist we focused on. My artist was Adele; Adele is a well-known music artist and songwriter. The purpose of week 4’s paper is to create a sales and distribution plan that will help Adele generate more income. When it comes to describing Adele and a specific brand it can be rather complicated in a sense that she (Adele) has made it clear and in fact “The word may be everywhere now, but Adele doesn't want to be called a "brand." “I don’t like that word,” the record-breaking singer said of "brand" in a new interview for the cover of Time magazine. “It makes me sound like a fabric softener, or a packet of crisps. I’m not that" ("Business Insider ", 2015). She went on to say that “She believes that artists should strive to be deeper than a "brand and more like a package for their fans” ("Business Insider ", 2015). With that being said and honoring the wishes of my artist I will begin to explain how Adele has been able to remain on top without being “branded” per say. She sticks to her roots and what she is comfortable with whether it is her style, her drive, her music, and her sound and as uncommon as that is for an artist today she has managed to outsell and outshine almost every artist to date. Maybe it is the stance...

...PSCY 320 Tim and Maria have been married for 12 years; they have 2 children, Nicole (7) and Natalie (4). Tim works as a fireman, while Maria is a stay at home mom. Since Tim works two days a week in 48 hour increments, he felt that he had the time to start a landscaping business to bring in extra money so Maria could stay home. He works at his landscaping business around his schedule at the firehouse. Maria, on the other hand, does the bookkeeping for the landscaping company. Before having children, Maria worked fulltime and made good money, she was confident in her life choices, and seemed to be happy with all of her accomplishments. Once the decision was made to start a family, Tim and Maria thought the best option was for Maria to quit her job and stay at home with the children. Not long after the second child was born, Maria fell into a depressed state. She felt that she was not pulling her weight around the house financially, she had gained weight, and she thought she was losing the attention of her husband. Tim is never home to help with the girls and when he is home, he is busy arranging his next days schedule. He works at least six days a week and sometimes seven. He does not mind the amount of work that he puts in because he knows that his family is well taken care of financially and physically. Their daughters know that Daddy works very hard to buy the things they have, and Mommy will make sure that their needs are met. Tim is at a point in his life where he...

Of course this online retail store was not always the largest and had a shaky slow start because the online layout was not eye-catching. In 1994, Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon.com started his business in his garage in Washington State selling books. However, in 1994, Nick Hanauer took an interest in Bezos business and invested $40,000, and in 1995 Tom Alburg invested $100,000 to join this venture. After receiving these investments Bezos decided to create a website that would be more appealing to customers and hoped to get his business to take off. Over the next three years Amazon increase in book sales, which amazed Bezos because after an analysis was completed he was shocked to find out outside of local customers who were purchasing books from Amazons but customers around the world.

...(Individual) Communication and Crisis Paper Yahaira Jorge HCS/320 January 13, 2014 Ms. Tricia Tran Communication and Crisis My name is Yahaira Jorge and I am the director of the regional Emergency Management Office. We have begun to receive official reports of contaminated water with a life-threatening biological agent. As director, I have many priorities in getting this situation under control, but most importantly will need to be in communication with all the organizations involved. Putting our crisis plan into immediate effect will hopefully keep everything organized. The ultimate goal will be to get the information out to the public with a plan, swiftly but making sure not to create panic along the way. Also making sure to get the support from our fire departments and police officers to participate in giving bottles of water to our people not to get sick and ill from this contaminated water. A quick response is very important in a crisis situation. In order to have a quick response, a crisis plan is necessary. A crisis plan will vary from institution to institution, but most will follow similar guidelines. First and foremost, notifications of the situation or event to communications lead, or second in command. This is important because if there is a delay in getting the information to a higher person in command, that could create a bigger mess than needed. Secondly, notify the institution leaders and staff, and ancillary management. Making sure the appropriate...

...We have made substantial progress in the past two years in building a stronger foundation for our company and improving our business model. Our survival is no longer in question. Our net debt of slightly over $23 million (down from $52 million two years ago) is manageable, and we are continuing to look for ways to further strengthen our balance sheet. Our cash flow is healthy, and we have budgeted in excess of $13 million in fiscal 2011 for capital expenditures, much of which will be devoted to store renovation and construction of new stores. We generated positive company same store sales in all four quarters of fiscal 2010 and, despite the difficult economy, we delivered substantially higher operating income. We essentially broke even in fiscal 2010, compared to a net loss of $67.1 million in fiscal 2008 and $4.1 million in fiscal 2009. We ended fiscal 2010 with 582 Krispy Kreme stores across the U.S. and 18 other countries, up from 449 stores 2 years ago. By shifting to the small shop focus and increasing the number of Krispy Kreme retail shops in high traffic areas, we are making ourselves more convenient for our customers, which should enable us to increase on-premises sales of doughnuts and complementary products. We also are trial testing new products to create broader appeal, addressing both seasonal and day part issues. In our off-premises grocery and convenience store channels, we are re-energizing the business by introducing and marketing new longer shelf-life...

...What is the difference between information and data? How are they defined? Is one better than another when it comes to research? Provide examples of each. When I first read this message the first thought I had in mind were both can be the same or can be different depending on how you look at them. I can argue that both are the same because data is information and information consists of data. Then I look closer and give it some thoughts then there is a little difference between data and information. According to www.diffen.com Data is raw and can be unorganized facts and may unprocessed. Data can be something simple and random and it is almost useless if it is not organized. Data can be in many forms and method. An example of data is the student’s test scores, the NBA scores, the NFL scores…etc. On the other hand information can be defined as data being processed, organized, structure. One example of information is the class’ average score. The statistics of all the best running back players of the NFL are good information. In brief; data must be processed in a context in order to give it meaning. Without the processed of data, data is just a raw bucket of information. Information is processed data organized in a way that can be useful depending on the nature of the work place/situation. I am working for a healthcare system and we collect many different types of data and put together many different pieces of information. We organized these data into many categories...
