Alignment of concepts with topics discussed 6 Executive Summary A shaping strategy is one which will normally command the majority into changing their paradigms about a certain product, causing disruptive innovation to take place. In order to garner such massive support for such a new product, the product must be marketed well enough to convincingly express the new opportunities afforded to the audience. The new product must also define new standards and practices which make participation easy and affordable. Also, demonstrating that there is the conviction and resources for success which would not compete against participants.

However, it provides important statistics, such as women are being well-dressed in movies. I will be able to use that information for my paper to prove that women are used to attract people to watch it. This will be beneficial to my audience because they will be more engaged to how women are basically being used as a sex toy in movies. University Press of Kentucky. “Women Movie Stars as Role Models.” From Mae to Madonna: Women Entertainers in Twentieth-century America. (1999): 77–106. Web. In this scholarly article, the University Press of Kentucky explains how people think that all women in movies are all whores and the girls that aren’t are all nice and are the ones that aren’t whores. However, they also explain that women in movies are completely different in what they are in their personal lives. Women movie stars are role models to some women and men but, they are only famous because they are embodied as whores in movies. Movie directors want women that are strong-minded and confident so, that they can be more confident in the media even though they look like whores.

...Speech Preparation Reflection Alicia Ramos COM/110 April 25, 2016 Linda Price Speech Preparation Reflection The best way to prepare for a presentation, one must consider the best method, the type of presentation and the audience for a given topic. There are four different types of presentation methods they are; Impromptu, Extemporaneous Speaking, Using a Manuscript, and Memorization. Each of the four methods is appropriate in certain situations. Impromptu is a speech that frequently involves no preparation time and forces you to think on your feet. With no opportunity to prepare, you must rely on what you know. Extemporaneous is a speech that involves preparation and practice. This form of delivery has many advantages. Specifically, speakers can maintain a personal connection with their listeners and respond to their feedback. Manuscript is a speech where everything is written out. The speaker reads the manuscript word for word. Memorized is a speech that has been committed to memory. This method may be useful when you know you will be receiving an award or recognition so you make sure you thank the right people. An informative speech is one that informs the audience. This week our assignment was to do an informative presentation. I know when doing an informative presentation I must inform my audience strictly with facts. I decided to do the presentation about my company and services we provide because I wanted to inform my audience about social services we...

...CHAPTER 2 – LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION Literature review is to do a research on similar topics that are concerned with the proposed system. This is with an idea of suggesting the best methods of information management through the use of data warehouse concepts for the proposed Greenville School Hostel Management System. The result of literature review gives us information with regard to the research done on the topic by others researchers. Result of this review will be the gaps that are found in the existing works and the good features that can be suggested for the proposed system. A data warehouse is projected in a way that data can be stored and accessed and is not restricted only to tables and relational lines. (Fink, 1998) As the data warehouse is separated from operational databases, user’s queries do not cause any impact in these systems. Data warehouse is protected from any non-authorized alteration or loss of data. Data warehouse contemplates the base and the resources needed for a Decision Support System (DSS), supplying historic and integrated data. These data are for top managers, decision makers, and partners, donors – who need brief, summarized and integrated information – and for low-level managers, for whom detailed data helps to observe some tactical aspects of the organization. In this way, data warehouse provides a specialized. For a centralized database oracle will be used for storing details of data being brought from different hostel location...

(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC327311/-EmployingGeneticMarkerstoImproveDiagnosisofThyroidTumorFineNeedleBiopsy)Dec2011. This topic is an important topic in the world of public health at the moment. However, it really is a topic that hit close to home recently. I was diagnosed with a right thyroid nodule in February. Since it was large enough, it required a fine needle aspiration. This prompted me to further investigate my options once I got the results that it was highly suspicious for Hurthle cell neoplasm. While reading this article, I wanted to better understand if I had other options than surgical removal of my thyroid to obtain the definite benign/malignant diagnosis. This well written article raises the awareness of how commonly the public has to undergo surgical removal of a nodule in order to get a definite diagnosis. Genetic markers have been identified to aid in the diagnosis of certain of these thyroid carcinomas. The study demonstrated that “71% of unnecessary surgical procedure could be avoided”, but that also “22% of cancers would be missed”. Although I did not know much about genetic...

...Executive Overview After more than 30 years of hard thinking about strategy, consultants and scholars have provided an abundance of /rameworks for analyzing strategic situations. Missing, however, has been any guidance as to v^hat the product of these tools should be—or virhat actually constitutes a strategy. Strategy has become a catchall term used to mean whatever one wants it to mean. Executives now talk about their "service strategy," their "branding strategy," their "acquisition strategy," or whatever kind of strategy that is on their mind at a particular moment. But strategists—whether they are CEOs of established firms, division presidents, or entrepreneurs—must have a strategy, an integrated, overarching concept of how the business will achieve its objectives. If a business must have a single, unified strategy, then it must necessarily have parts. What are those parts? We present a framework for strategy design, arguing that a strategy has five elements, providing answers to five questions—arenas: where will we be active? vehicles: how will we get there? differentiators: how will we win in the marketplace? staging: what will be our speed and sequence of moves? economic logic: how will we obtain our returns? Our article develops and illustrates these domains of choice, particularly emphasizing how essential it is that they form a unified whole. Consider these statements of strategy drawn from actual documents and announcements of several companies: "Our strategy is to be...

Slaves were kept from doing a lot of things like reading and writing and things of that nature. Most slaves were strong willed and resisted their masters by doing things their own way and even though they were punished it didn’t stop them. Through all of the pain and evil the masters brought down on them they were still able to have their own way of doing things, their own culture. They used to sing spirituals and tell their own stories they also had their own way of speaking as to differ from the way the slave masters told them how too. They would also weave in themes of their own stories and sufferings that sometimes derived from their African past. Slaves also performed dances that drew on western and African...
