...Understanding Markets Main Pricing Polices The company has three different price structures: It has a fixed airport rates, standard fees per minute or per mile charge, and a dynamic pricing. Fixed Airport Rate: The flat airport rate is not available in every city. For example, for our search from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale International Airport, the flat airport rate was not available. The base fare, cost per minute, and cost per mile vary city-by-city, and Uber service. Uber fare rates are different for UberX, XL, UberPlus, Black Car, and Select. To give you a feel for the range of Uber fare costs, here’s a look at the fare costs in Los Angeles California. LA features almost every Uber service and the prices aren’t much higher or much lower than other American Uber markets. Los Angeles Uber costs | Base Fare | Cost per minute | Cost per mile | Safe Rides Fee | UberX | $0.80 | $0.21 | $1.10 | $1 | UberXL | $3 | $0.35 | $1.85 | $1 | UberPlus | $5 | $0.40 | $2.35 | $1 | UberBlack | $8 | $0.45 | $3.55 | n/a | UberSUV | $15 | $0.55 | $4.25 | n/a | Dynamic Pricing: Dynamic pricing refers to where the company set its pricing based on the available drivers and passengers requests.

...The Yankee Candle Company remarketed their company through the use of Google advertisements, which was discussed in chapter 13 as paid ads. The purpose of the campaign was to increase customer base with a new approach and encourage shopping cart abandoners to complete purchases. Through the use of display ads, they encourage shippers by offering a discount code for their products. This reminded the customers of the items abandoned and enticed them to complete their purchases. The company also increased their cost-per-click, which contributed to having their message spread across a larger audience. This resulted in a 468 percent increase in return on investment. In the future they plan on continuing their remarketing strategy by reminding customers who have purchased to re-purchase items once they are finished. I would suggest sending a reminder email within three months of initial purchase. The emails should be personalized and the email should include any new scents available or a new suggestion. It can read “Hey Anna, because you bought the strawberry scented candle, try the all new mango scented candle.” The company has continued with its remarketing strategy. An article from November 15, 2013 published on the Daily News entitled “The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. Selects PunchTab as Loyalty Program Provider” discusses a new way that they have remarketed themselves. In creating an effective loyalty and rewards program, the company was looking for a source that would allow...

...For years the idea of entering the legal field has captivated my interest. During my childhood, I dreamed of one day becoming a famous musician. As I got older, I became more fascinated in the investigation of the truth. While I still find interest in the music, I developed more of an interest in fulfilling my curiosities about law. Watching investigative television programs as an adolescent increased my inquisitiveness of the study of law. Television shows such as Law and Order provided the viewers with the suspense of who committed the crime, but to me it demonstrated the basic functions of the justice system. It fascinated me that when criminal offense is committed and a suspect is charged with the crime and taken into custody their liberties were not taken without Due Process. I found it remarkable that the Civil Liberties played such a major part in the functions of the legal system. By the time I was on my way to College I was determined to pursue a career in Law. The overall idea of law excites me because it can be used to exonerate or condemn an individual suspected of committing an offense. My interest in the legal process became more intense as I became older. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, unfortunately children witnessed crimes on a daily basis, but I was determined to stop that. I wanted to clean the streets and remove the high involvement of gangs and drugs within my community. I witnessed a drive by, and while my cognition allowed me run for run and hide other...

...TEXAS BIBLE COLLEGE BACHELOR OF MUSIC PROGRAM THE BIBLICAL MEANING OF FASTING AS IT RELATES TO THE CHRISIAN LIFE SUBBMITTED TO BROTHER JEREMY GILLIAM IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF KEYS TO SUCCESS #330 BY KRISTA KNOX FEBUARY 28, 2015 Introduction Fasting is when we as Christians spiritually discipline ourselves. We have to be submissive and be willing to do it. We cannot have a bad attitude when we decide to humble ourselves before God. There are so many different things that we can fast. We do not only have to fast food but we can also fast from media. Fasting brings us closer to God and it strengths our relationship with him. When we fast we are doing it to please God. When we are fasting, we cannot think that we are being starved from something or that something is being taken away from us. We are disciplining ourselves and separating from the world. “We are causing the natural body with its natural human desires to be submitted to the spiritual man within us (Malcomson, Fasting).” There are many different ways that we can fast. People can fast together as a group or even fast on different days throughout the week. You can also do a fast by yourself. In the bible, we are supposed to work and help one another. We need to be a untified and glorified body of Christ. If there is no unity in a church, it will fall apart. Fasting is biblical, and just because it is not required in the bible does not mean that we should not partake in it. Our flesh needs to be disciplined...

...Team Insight Paper One of the basic requirements of PM587 is participation in a team project. Team participants for this group were three. The project required guidelines related to the Strategic Business Unit (SBU) processes and how decisions are reached on selecting projects which are most closely aligned with the goals and values of the company. The project also required an analysis, a selection criteria and procedural techniques for applying portfolio management theory and methods. Our project team was formed on the second week of the session and at this time we were faced with two challenges: 1) Our project began one week later than the provided schedule. Groups should have been formed in week one, but instead, teams were not assigned until week two. Even with being a week behind, the implementation date of the project was week 7, and remained unchanged. 2) The main resource that we lacked was time. The class was required to prepare and take quizzes during weeks three and five. With the Thanksgiving Holiday falling on the schedule during week five, this posed another challenge in which natural conflict developed with regards to the usual holiday travel and vacation schedules. Based on these challenges, the team immediately started discussing the requirements of the team project instead of working on team construction. All team members agreed that our group was a non-team- leader group. The reasons are: 1) We were a small, three-person group and really...

...I attended class at the downriver campus on Monday, October 8th 2012 to attend a lecture by Kathleen Brazzle. Ms. Brazzle lectured about medications and different psychological conditions. She spoke of both generic and first tier medications while describing different conditions such as: psychosis, delusions, thought disorders, depression and hallucination. Psychosis is a symptom of feature of mental illness typically characterized by radical changes in personality, impaired functioning and a distorted or non-existent sense of objective reality. The person suffering from psychosis typically has a loss of contact with reality; the condition of psychosis causes them to not see things realistically and thus distorting real life. The beliefs for them are not based on life or reality. They often struggle to think clearly and often lack insight about things. A person suffering from psychosis often does not realize that anything is wrong with them or simply disbelieves the truth about reality. Delusions are a false, fixed, odd or unusual belief that the person has. There are different types of delusions: delusions of paranoia, grandiose delusions, somatic delusions and psychotic delusions. Delusions are typically classified in two categories as primary and secondary. Hallucinations are a problem with sensory perception with the absence of an outside stimulus. Often hallucinations can be visual or auditory. Example of a visual hallucination would be seeing a person or...

...The Chronicles of Spin Class: A Guide to Survival Come to spin class they said; it will be fun, they said. This pretty much sums it all up. Considering I have never been a very coordinated person the task seemed daunting. However, sitting at a desk all day had done absolutely nothing for my physical fitness. That’s when I had the bright idea to join a gym after months of deliberation. I had the perfect plan. I would run on the treadmill and if I was feeling adventurous lift a few weights here and there. I was sadly, sadly mistaken. My friend had a different plan for me. She mentioned that she had started going to this crazy intense spin class at my gym and really hated it but in a peculiar way was addicted which kept her going back for more....

...Social hierarchy has existed from the start of time it seems, as in the medieval ages you always have the royals and the peasants. In the United States of America there is a system in place showing the social hierchy which consist Elites at the top, only making up one percent of the population, use the government to extort the rest of the population by using the law in their favor against the middle class, immigrants, and those suffering from poverty. This form of hierarchy is supported by Social Darwinism; the idea that the wealthy are the fit, and the poor are the weak so they are not to be helped. Is society’s way of taking out the weaklings, and further validates the corruption during this time period, disappearing middle class, and the...

To their dismay, if those norms are not followed then the individual will be deprived, therefore, archaic traits of adaptation are necessary for survival. “As concerns economic theory...pecuniary and the industrial. As regards the conservation of propensities, spiritual attitude, or animus, the two may be called the invidious or self-regarding and the non-invidious or economical.” (pg. 146, 1st paragraph, lines 15-20) We are the modern survivals of a particular skill or ability.

...Class-divisions are bad for society for many reasons. Some of those reasons are that the class divisions divide people by their ethnicity, income, physical state, and education. Class-divisions can be divided by three groups which can be catigorized by diffrent race, income, and education. These can all be split into smaller classes but those are the three main groups. First is the upper class, second middle class, and third lower class. Upper class is all the rich people. Middle class is the average people. The lower class is all the poor people. The middle class is shrinking every day due to it being harder to support their families. “The percentage of households considered middle class shrunk nationwide between 2000 and 2013” This shows...

...All human societies have been class-based in some way shape or form. The U.S. population consists of a variety of different income classes but because of this, the leap between the upper class and the lower class is a big one. The main differences such as the financial status of the two, the education of those involved and the social issues that being in each class brings upon the people, shows just how few people can have so much while many other can have so little. Probably the most obvious and the first thing that comes to mind when comparing the two groups is the financial status. At the top of the economic ladder is the upper class, this class makes up about one-to-five percent of the entire American population. The so-called one percent includes the households that earn more than...

...social class. First there is our property which is what we own such as real estate, land, cars, stocks, bonds, businesses, and bank accounts. Second, there is power which is when a person has the ability to have things done their way even though others may not agree. It allows one to make big decisions in society. Third, there is prestige where regard or respect is given to what they do as a career, and what they accomplish in life. Wealth is what you are worth which includes everything you own after paying off debts, and income is what you make from various sources such as income from one’s wages, and interest from bank accounts. Property and income are distributed the same way,...

...J. Frank and Charles Duryea designed the first American automobile in 1893, and for a long time cars were considered a luxury for the upper class; then Ransom E. Old created the Oldsmobile, making cars available to the middle class. He sold them at $650- about $16,000 today- making them cheap and accessible. Car makers were faced with the dilemma of balancing the quality of the car and its price. They had to figure out a way to make a car with materials they could afford to sell for price that would create enough revenue to keep their business afloat. The car industry grew immensely, and by 1913 the United States produced 485,000 of 600,000 vehicles produced in the world. By 1920, cars were supremely important to the petroleum industry and...

...Class, Learning theories assert that development results from an accumulation of experience. There are 3 main psychologists associated with this theory. There is Ivan Pavlov, who believed that learning results from the association of stimuli called classical conditioning. Also, B.F Skinner, who coined the term operant conditioning, which involves learning to repeat or stop behaviors because of the consequences it may cause. Lastly, Albert Bandura, who thought that a person could learn from observing someone else perform an action and experience reinforcement or punishment. This is called observant learning or modeling (Boyd & Bee, 2015,p. 32). Each one of these psychologists’ theories has strengths and weaknesses. A strength in Pavlov’s...
