...By the end of this short introduction, I hope that some of my personality would have been able to shine through. I want to show you that I am ready to take the next step in my education after secondary school and to me that is studying at Christ the King Sixth Form College. I would describe myself as a person with a lot of integrity and a willingness to go the extra mile to reach a certain goal. I previously studied my GCSE’s in Harris Peckham. Academically I believe that the school was very capable and one lesson that, that school has taught me is that responsibility and reliability were very important traits to have when representing a school. In my free time, I enjoy going out, socialising and reconnecting with previous and new found friends. I am currently living with my single mother and younger brother in a council flat. The main goal I wish to achieve by the end of the year is to perhaps gain as much knowledge as possible in my chosen subjects for preparation for the exams also, making as much friends as possible is a must for me, as not many students from my previous school enrolled to this sixth form. Some obstacles that may possibly draw me back from academic achievement this year include procrastinating, not being able to find common ground with teachers, staff members and my fellow classmates and being mildly depressed. Being able to keep on board with tasks, keeping up with set homework and prep work and maintaining a positive mind-set will allow me guaranteed success...

(a) There are many more Camrys on the road than Escalades (b) Because the theft rate is higher, the Escalade is more likely to get stolen. 3. They should look at the complaint rate per hundred prescriptions -- not the total number of complaints. The reason most of the complaints are for CVS pharmacy could easily be because most of the prescriptions are written from CVS pharmacies. It could turn out that CVS pharmacies are doing better than other pharmacies. Practice Exercises 2 4. (a) observational (b) Prisoners who volunteer to take these courses are more likely to be interested in being rehabilitated than the ones who don’t volunteer. The confounding factor created here is the level of prisoner motivation to be rehabilitated: it influences whether or not they take the courses and also whether or not they commit crimes to return to prison. The education program may work well, but you can’t tell from this study because of this confounding factor. (c) A better way would be to choose a random sample of inmates and divide them into "treatment" and "control" groups. You then could offer the treatment group the option of attending counseling and compare the recidivism rate for this entire group -- not just the ones you actually go to counseling -- with the control group. This means you will compare everyone who was offered counseling to everyone who was not offered counseling. (Within...

...Overview Founded in 1963 by Stanley Goldstein, Sid Goldstein, and Mark Steven in Lowell, Massachusetts, Consumer Value Store (CVS), has quickly grown to be the second largest pharmacy and convenience store with over 7,600 pharmacies and drugstores nationwide. Since the beginning, CVS has always strived to be the largest retail pharmacy-which led to the development of their growth strategy. Furthermore, CVS continually strives to “reinvent” the pharmacy and make healthy living a fundamental part of their customers’ lives. (Biesada, 2014) Initially, these strategies were influenced by the company’s mission statement and purpose. According to the CVS website, the company’s mission is to “provide expert care and innovative solutions in pharmacy and health care that are effective and easy for our customers” (CVS caremark corporation: History, 2014). Clearly, CVS is in business to provide expert care, although it would appear that not all of their individual pharmacists share the same feelings. Based on research conducted, it would appear that there is a general lack of customer service training as some pharmacists have allegedly been behaving rudely towards customers. Throughout the course of this initiative, we will be discussing the gaps that have been found and we will develop a training program that we hope will help alleviate these problems and allow CVS to fully realize their mission.
