Elevator Speech/ Personal Commercial

Every person looking to succeed or to make a sale should have a 30 second personal commercial at their disposal. This “elevator speech,” as it has been coined, contains the following:

1) Your introduction— your name

2) What you do—this transcends just your job title. It explains, often creatively, what you DO. I.e., you do not sell cars, you make sure that each customer has the perfect vehicle to fit his or her needs.

3) A power statement—this shows what you can do for the person to whom you are delivering the speech.

4) A power question—a question that gets the listener thinking about how they can use your product or services.

5) A setup for a meeting—usually this is a freebie…meeting them for coffee or somewhere where you can talk to them more about the opportunity you are presenting.

From your study of Chapter 4, you see topics of culture-specific and culture-reactive addressed. One dictionary definition of culture-specific
syndrome as “any form of disturbed behavior that is specific to a
certain cultural system and does not conform to Western classification
of diseases” (Edberg, 2013, p. 42). Some might say a culture-specific
syndrome is a disease in a culture. Edberg then goes on to say that as
all humans are cultural; perhaps we ought not think that a few syndromes
are only culture specific. So, he (Edberg) seems to agree with others
(Kirmayer, Hughes) to prefer the term culture-reactive syndrome
vs. culture specific. Anyway, all interesting and what follows in the
subsequent sections of Chapter 4 is the compelling point in this quiz
item.

Let’s just generalize and think on culturally bound syndromes
(specific or reactive). And, assume that most of these
culturally-related conditions are the outcome of unique kinds of social
stressors. Unique social stressors might be gender rules and
requirements, strict social or family obligation systems, specific
patterns of social marginalization and hierarchy,
immigration/acculturation trauma, and any of many others within a
specific culture. You see many syndromes from DSM-IV in Box 4-1 on pgs. 43-45. Fascinating.

As a prompt for you to reflect on this compelling reading, please 1) report what might be the stress response fromTHREE of the FIVE interesting ethnopsychiatric conditions and cultural stressor examples provided in the text, listed below. Then, 2) end each discussion with your personal reaction to the description of each. (strive
for about 3+ sentences for each condition described – use your
reflective/critical thinking approach here). 6 points possible.

  1. Saora tribes of India,
  2. Canadian Hutterites,
  3. US Anorexic/Bullimics,
  4. American Indians, and
  5. Immigrant/Refugee Syndromes.

Question, You considered from Chapter 6 that across cultures, healing
is practiced in an organized, ritualized form (healing ceremonies,
divination, appointments, etc). In essence, all healing involves some
ritual and theater (think uniforms such as white coats, chanting,
smells, the presence of other community members, the use of implements
and healing tools). We might think of healing as a collective act,
which is true whether a Western biomedical orientation or not. Trusting
that you could step outside your “cultural box” and wonder: is
biomedical healing just pure technology and pure science?

This is a two-part question. From understandings in Chapter 6, please

  1. provide and briefly describe (1-2 sentences each)
    • two examples of non-Western healers and
    • two examples of healers found in Western cultures
  2. then,
    we know that today there are many successful collaborative efforts
    where “East meets West” in therapies with biomedical impacts.

    • close this question with an one example of the recent trend towards integrating biomedical and non-biomedical healers and healing practices.

Iron Ore What? (IOW) Casting Company, accounting assignment help

/in /by

Iron Ore What? (IOW) Casting Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix. Sydney Johnson, a recently minted MBA, will be conducting the capital budgeting analysis. The new production line would be set up in unused space in IOW’s main plant. The machinery invoice price totals approximately $250,000, with another $20,000 in shipping charges and $30,000 to install the equipment, for a total requirement estimated at $300,000. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and IOW has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) 3-year class. After 4 years of use the machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000.

The new product line would generate incremental sales of 1,350 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. Each unit can be sold for $200 each in the first year. The sales price and cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 15% of sales revenues. The firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital is 12%.

  1. Calculate and provide the annual sales revenues and costs (other than depreciation). Why is it important to include inflation when estimating cash flows?
  2. Construct 4 years of annual incremental operating cash flow statements for IOW Casting Company. Estimate the required net working capital for each year, and the cash flow due to investments in net working capital. Calculate the after-tax salvage cash flow.
  3. Calculate the net cash flows for each of the 4 years. Based on these cash flows, what are the project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, payback, and discounted payback? Do these indicators suggest the project should be undertaken? Explain.
  4. What does the term “risk” mean in the context of capital budgeting? To what extent can risk be quantified, and, when risk is quantified, is the quantification based primarily on statistical analysis of historical data or on subjective, judgmental estimates? Provide your rationale.
  5. Describes sensitivity analysis and discuss a) its primary weakness; and b) its primary usefulness? For the IOW project, perform a sensitivity analysis on the unit sales, salvage value, and cost of capital. Assume that each of these variables can vary from its expected, or “base-case” value by ± 10%, ± 20%, and ± 30%. Include a sensitivity diagram, and discuss the results.
  6. Assume that Sydney Johnson is confident of her estimates of all the variables that affect the project’s cash flows except unit sales and sales price. If product acceptance is poor, unit sales could be only approximately 1,000 units a year and the unit price would be set at $150. Conversely, an excellent consumer response could produce sales of 2,000 units and a unit price of $220. Sidney believes that there is a 25% chance of poor acceptance, a 25% chance of excellent acceptance, and a 50% chance of average acceptance (the base case). What is the worst-case NPV? The best-case NPV? Use the worst-, base-, and best-case NPVs and probabilities of occurrence to find the project’s expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
  7. Explain scenario analysis and any problems, issues, or concerns that surround this type of projection.
  8. Define simulation analysis, and discuss its principal advantages and disadvantages.
  9. Assume that IOW’s average project has a coefficient of variation in the range of 0.2 to 0.4. Would the new product line be classified as high risk, average risk, or low risk? What type of risk is being measured here?
  10. IOW typically adds or subtracts 5 percentage points to the overall cost of capital to adjust for risk. Given this consideration, should the new line be accepted? Explain.
  11. Describe other subjective risk factors that should be considered before the final decision is made, and their individual impact on the project.

Businesses created in the United States are required to comply with U.S. laws and must act ethically. Recall that the law creates a minimum amount of behavior obligatory by businesses in humanity, whereas ethics requires more. Ethics is a major consideration in examining the actions of managers and the function of business organizations. An ethically minded business focuses on the following:

Integrity: Focusing on the character of the individuals involved in the decision or action
Consequences: Focusing on good and bad decisions
Duties, obligations, and principles: Focusing on fairness, justice, and respect for individuals and property
As the manager of your restaurant, you want to have a clear understanding of how to handle ethical issues that arise. You conduct some research and discover there are six steps to ethical decision making.

Tasks:

List, explain, and give an example of the six steps of ethical decision making that businesses can follow.
Choose a business that you believe acts ethically and is socially responsible. Once you select a business, provide examples of how your company is acting with social responsibility.
Finally, decide whether your restaurant is going to be socially responsible by implementing a corporate social responsibility plan; provide an argument that supports or challenges the decision to implement the corporate social responsibility plan for the restaurant. Provide research, legal terminology, and cite a legal case to support your argument.
Note: Provide research that supports your assertions

Customers: To customers the only defect that they would actually consider is whether they have received a fair exam which they had to opportunity to study all of its contexts. To a customer if a question was on an exam and that information was not in the study guide then that would be a defect to them. Therefore to measure the defect rate on an exam in the eyes of the customer I am measuring the fairness of each question and whether it appears on the study guide or not. The Sigma Score was calculated given that the test is 100 questions long and there is one opportunity for defects for each question.

Process: While measuring the process there are many things to consider the question a defect or not, after running a FMEA the main defects I found were relevance to body of knowledge, accuracy of the question, whether the question topic is on the study guide, whether the question is too easy or too hard, and whether the question was worded in a confusing way. Since we are looking at the process it is important to keep in mind that all parts of each question is important including each answer choice and how it improves or weakens the question. For this session I am using a test bank of 200 questions with each questions having 4 answer choices that could also be defects for a total possible opportunity of defect of 1000. Because there are more opportunities for defects in the process stage it often has a lower sigma score and is the easier thing to fix, although customer processes are more important for financial purposes.

Normative value of the actual

/in /by

This discussion begins with the concept of the normative value of the actual. This refers to the idea that what is out there, around us every day, seems normal. That what is always around us seems right.

So let us think a moment about the word “normal.” We say this all the time. But what do we really mean when we call things ‘normal?’

Artists, scientists, writers, parents, teachers constantly question the notion of what makes something ‘normal.’ Now it is your turn!

You task is to describe a particular “normal” cultural phenomenon that you encounter often. It can be anything- school, movies, ads, a show, a trend… anything.

Explain why and how you came across this phenomenon, and try to account for its categorization as ‘normal.’ Does everyone do / think / say this thing? Does no one question it? Do people seem to accept it? For how long? Is it traditional? New?

After you’ve explained the phenomenon, write a few questions encouraging your colleagues to join you in looking closer at this “normal” part of our culture.You could also write a few sentences offering some insight as to why the phenomenon might NOT be normal after closer inspection.

The Wrath of the Gods 6 pages, writing homework help

/in /by

The Wrath of the Gods

Gilgamesh expresses his jealousy
towards the gods and the immortality they enjoy. He and Enkidu learn
firsthand that incurring the wrath of the gods can have disastrous
consequences. Rather than wise, omniscient beings, the gods in Gilgamesh
are vengeful and easily angered. Gilgamesh and Enkidu first encounter
this wrath after Gilgamesh rejects Ishtar’s advances. Ishtar immediately
turns to her father, Anu, to send the Bull of Heaven to punish
Gilgamesh. At first, Anu rejects Ishtar’s request but she threatens to
raise the dead to devour the living. Anu is frightened by Ishtar’s
threat and releases the Bull of Heaven to appease her. When Gilgamesh
and Enkidu slay the Bull of Heaven, they further insult Ishtar by
throwing the Bull’s hindquarters at her face. Enkidu later dreams that
the gods have decided that he must die for these transgressions. After
twelve days of suffering, he dies a painful death.

Utnapishtim
also tells Gilgamesh the story of a great flood exacted on the people of
Shurrupak. Ea informs Utnapishtim of the coming flood and instructs him
to build a great boat and to stock that boat with all the creatures of
the land. It is important to note that when Utnapishtim asks Ea about
why the flood is coming and about whathe should tell the people of
Shurrupak, Ea has no specific answer for him, stating only that Enlil is
angry. This suggests that the wrath of the gods can also be incurred
without any obvious insult or explanation.
