...Refining ideas PHL/458 University of Phoenix Refining ideas When refining ideas, there are three steps to follow to produce a viable solution. The first step is to work out the details by determining exactly how a solution will be applied. The second step is to examine those details for imperfections and the third step is to make improvements that will eliminate imperfections (Ruggiero, 2009). The original issue seen on week two was a computer malfunction. The problem with this is that it prevents me from completing my work on time. Many possible reasons are possible for the malfunction: it can be overload, an out- of- date computer or a person deleted vital programs in error causing the malfunction. Some initial solutions: can be to consult with the competition, Google the challenge presented and follow instructions on how to fix problem, change computers every week to a new one, completely abolish deadlines and anticipate computer damage before it happens by auto-testing the computer every 15 minutes for potential malfunctions. While doing a critical examination of best solution, these questions are to be addressed and answered: What exactly is to be done? The answer is to anticipate computer damage. How is it to be done? A device that alerts the user that a computer malfunction is imminent, the user can immediately click on a defense software to rescue or fix the malfunction before the work is lost, preventing...

...drilling, innovative technologies, and the natural resources that are needed for the different segments of the energy industry. Global energy can be seen in all big companies within the energy industry. One of the companies that experiences international success best is ExxonMobil. In this research paper ExxonMobil was ranked the third most global corporation by Fortune magazine in 2011. The major oil company has ownership interest 46 refineries in 26 countries. Their global relationships give ExxonMobil an efficient way to maximize their supply and revenue by using the resources and consumer base of other countries. Their refineries are organized into regional clusters, which further expand the potential for supply. ExxonMobil has major refining centers in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. With these well-organized divisions of the company, each center can apply more focus to creating revenue from their corresponding region. ExxonMobil’s comparative advantage comes from its superiority of refineries. Their refineries are 50% larger than the industry average. Combine this advantage with their profitable globalization methods to create one of the most global companies on the market today. This major oil company has seen extreme growth over the past several years mainly because of their successful relationships with other countries. ExxonMobil constantly looks to build long term relationships with their customers. The company remains focused on long term success, which...

...Resolving a Problem Trying to refine a problem can take time and consideration. The text gives three basic steps to help that with hard work and patience is not difficult to complete. The three steps involved: working out the details of the solution, finding imperfections and complications, and making improvements (Ruggiero, 2009). Along with the time and consideration, the problems at hand are resolved. The original problem is finding a considerable and family oriented church to attend. Focusing on some of the problems that the churches have along with me it has been hard to get into a church feeling comfortable enough to attend. While, taking the process to evaluate my thoughts, research current and past complications in the churches, and satisfaction of others currently attending these churches; I was doing a personal evaluation in the churches every Sunday. This one the way to find answers to several questions such as are the churches family-oriented, do they keep one’s attention during a sermon; are the too large or small. These are just some of the major concerns when trying to figure out which church was best and why the others did not meet that satisfaction level. When the information had been gathered the comparisons were made. The decisions of why one church did not compete with the other became clearer. The way to refine the problem would be to stop looking for the problems with the churches and start looking for the positive aspects....

...I. We see and experience problems as we go through life. A. Sometimes we wonder why these things happen. B. If a person is trying to be good, why doesn’t God protect him from evil? II. First, what do we mean by “good” A. Technically, only God is good - Luke 18:19 B. In God there is not even a shadow of darkness - I John 1:5 C. In contrast, we are unable to live without sinning at times - I John 1:8, Romans 3:23 D. When we ask “Why me?” we are implying that we have no responsibility for the problems we sometimes face. 1. This might be true at times, but I’ve seen people say, “Why am I being evicted from my apartment?” Perhaps it is because you are behind on paying your rent. 2. People tend to ignore or make light of their own responsibilities. E. Yet there are times that bad things happen, which are totally out of our control. 1. Still, we shouldn’t say that these things should not happen because we are too good to experience them. F. One of the things that the Bible teaches us is that sin has consequences – whether we are referring to our own sin or the sins of another. 1. Jeremiah lamented that their fathers and sin, yet they still bore the consequences...

...There was a group of women in a Bible Study on the book of Malachi. As they were studying chapter three, they came across verse three, which says: “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group their next Bible study. That week this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest or her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot- then she thought again about the verse, that he sits as a refiner and purifier of silver. She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered “yes,” he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eye on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver were left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, “How do you know when...
