...Project 1: The Bank Heist 9-4-2014 Is it possible to carry $1,000,000 in cash? My first assumption of the question is it possible to carry $1,000,000 in cash… I say yes. I will outline below with how I support my assumption. I started my research on the internet to compile my answers. I felt in order to explain my thinking, I needed to know what is the largest currency circulated to the public, how much money is in a bundle of bills for the largest bill, and how much equaled $1,000,000.00 of the largest bill printed. So below, I will outline my research and support my result on a graph for further explanation. 1.) The largest currency circulated to the public is the $100.00 bill. (www.treasury.gov) 2.) A bundle equals 100 of $100.00 bills. (www.answers.com) 3.) It takes 10 bundles of $100.00 bills to make $1,000,000.00. 4.) The weight of a single bill is 1 gram. (www.enchantedlearning.com) 5.) The weight of a bundle of 100-$100.00 bills is 100g. 6.) The weight of 10 bundles of $100.00 bills is 10,000g. 7.) Converting 10,000g to lbs.= 22lb (www.convertunits.com) 8.) The weight of $1,000,000.00 is 22lbs in $100.00 bills. If you follow the graph below it shows the weight of $1,000,000.00 if you were to carry it with the highest currency printed of $100.00 which is a total of 22lbs or 10,000 grams. If you would change your currency to the single dollar it would be a weight of 2207.00 lbs. or 1001073 grams, my assumption would change...

...Money Management Korey A. White GEN/200 November 17, 2010 Abstract Managing money by putting a certain percentage of your income in categorized accounts gives you a better understanding of where your money is going. There are three account types I have chosen for this paper. Financial Independence Account, which is for retirement. The Fun Account, which is used to reward myself for working. Then there is the Life Expenses account used for everyday life activities and needs. Upon reading this paper you will have a clear understanding of how these accounts play a role in helping me manage my money. Money Management Managing my money is my day-to-day problem. When I was in the military, I did not have to worry about money management, because I lived on base and ate for free. So the only bills I had were my car payment and my cell phone bill. Because of those being the only bills I had, I was able to go out and splurge and buy whatever I wanted. Now that I am no longer in the military that way of living has stuck with me even though I have more responsibility and less money. After doing some research on how I can start managing my money, I have found three main ways to help me with money management. They are Financial Independence Account, Fun Account, and a Life Expenses Account. Although it is possible to manage money effectively, managing money is difficult when I spend it as fast as I receive it. Developing a Financial Independence Account will help...

...1. Fiserv’s segmentation of the market is broken down into six types of consumers, which were identified during a concept test of 2,000 representative individuals. E-savvy planners, maximizers, self-improvers, convenience seekers, desperate avoiders, and paranoid paper-pushers. Each category respectively explains consumers’ willingness to switch over to e-billing, with e-savvy planners being the most likely and paranoid paper-pushers being the least. How Fiserv expressed each type of consumer’s attitudes towards e-billing, in my opinion seems agreeable. For example, with the onset of any new breakthrough technology there will always be that group of people who jump on board first (e-savvy planners). Fiserv describes the group that will jump on board in time with reassurance and curiosity as the maximizers and self-improvers. As always with any new product introduced, certain consumers will be reluctant to try the product for an array of reasons. It could be that they are just comfortable in their old ways or that they are uninformed of the new product. Fiserv classifies these types of people as convenience seekers, desperate avoiders, and paranoid paper-pushers. Fiserv’s segmentation of the market mainly focuses on adults aged 40 to 50 years old. Also, they only account for the consumers who use the internet on average of 11 to 14 hours per week. Maximizers, those who are active financially and are comfortable with new technology account for the largest share of the...

...American Indians suffered a great many hardships and faced constant oppression from white Americans. In the 1870s, buffalo hunters begin moving into the West and in only a decade, they slashed the endless herd into an endangered species. The buffalo was an important resource to the Native Americans for food and clothing, and the Native Americans were known for using every part of the buffalo. The American buffalo hunters, however, were only trying to eliminate this Native American resource and often discarded the entire buffalo carcass. In 1871, Congress passed the Indian Appropriations Act, ending the practice of treating Indian tribes as sovereign nations. This act was justified as a way to avoid...

...Neil Young's Perpetually Solitary Figure When Buffalo Springfield dissolved in 1968 after a whirlwind of drug-related arrests involving Neil Young and fellow band members Stephen Stills and Bruce Palmer, many questioned what would become of the multifaceted singer-songwriter. From the ashes rose a slightly ill-at-ease Young, feeling out of place and unsure as a solo artist after his contributions to one of the first successful super-groups of the 1960's. Unpredictable as ever, accompanied by soaring strings and contemplations about his inability or lack of desire to make a deeper connection with the world, Young's prevalent themes of seclusion and loneliness boil to the surface in Self-Titled. Proving to be a richly effortless hands-on production, with an organic sound that became a solid foundation for his future songwriting, Young's “first” album is a whirlwind of emotion which showcases a raw and burgeoning artist. “Know when you see him Nothing can free him Step aside, open wide It's the loner...” (The Loner, Neil Young – Neil Young, 1969) At the forefront of an otherwise melancholy album, Young`s unabashed and powerful delivery of 'The Loner' has become one of his most lasting compositions. Widely considered to be an introspective piece, many fans and critics have placed the “Loner” label upon him in casual conversation and press articles alike. The title itself hints at what may be another lethargic downer of a song, but it is surprisingly up-tempo with...

...couple less impressive but mildly quirky notions. When you take people who know about Sierra Vista, there are only two kinds; those that were there because of the military, whether it is from serving or from being a dependent or civilian contractors, or those that study American military history. Sierra Vista was established as a support community for the United States Army Cavalry post that was later dubbed Fort Huachuca. On this post was one of the most famous mounted cavalry units ever assembled – The “Buffalo Soldiers”. In 1866, six regiments of all-black Soldiers were established by the U.S. Congress, consisting of the 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Infantry regiments. The 10th Calvary, dubbed the “Buffalo Soldiers” by the Native American tribes in the area because of the darker skin and curly hair, according to local legend, maintained its headquarters at Fort Huachuca (Frank Schubert, “Buffalo Soldiers: Myths and Realities”). The Buffalo Soldier Museum is still there today. On a more whimsical note, Sierra Vista happens to have also been home to the very first McDonald’s Drive-thru (Ethel Jackson Price, “Sierra Vista: Young City with a Past”). In 1974, the restaurant manager wanted to show his support for the Soldiers stationed at Fort Huachuca, who weren’t allowed to get out of their car while wearing their fatigues. He paid from his own pocket to have a new door installed and had an employee stand outside to take orders. In...

...Luc Cassier 1/21/13 Period 2 The Buffalo Bills The Buffalo Bills, an American football team, were founded in 1960 when Ralph Wilson Jr. bought the Buffalo Niagras and renamed the team after the famous Wild West circus performer “Buffalo Bill.” They then joined the American Football League, or AFL, which was thought to be inferior to the National Football League, or NFL. Since that time the Buffalo Bills have become a very important part of the economy in Buffalo. Headquartered in Buffalo, it is one of the few prospering businesses in Buffalo which ranked in as the no. 8 most miserable city in the United States, according to Forbes magazine. To the people of Buffalo, the Bills represent much more than an economic impact, but have become the only thing that these miserable people have to look forward to every year. Unfortunately for them, the bills have also been ranked by the NFL network as one of the top 10 “snake bitten” franchises and experienced an incredible amount of bad luck and struggle throughout their history. The Bills got off to a slow start in their inaugural season finishing with a below .500 record and getting the less than spectacular distinction of being the only NFL team to lose to a Canadian Football team when they lost to the Hamilton Tiger Cats. In an attempt to change their fortunes they acquired San-Diego’s star quarterback, Jack Kemp, off waivers, and they drafted Syracuse Stand out and Heisman winner Ernie Davis. However, the bad luck of the...

Lovely Quid Pro Quo: Latin for: “something given or received in exchange for something else.” The Tobacco horn worm moths used throughout the film were given celebrity treatment by the filmmakers. They were flown first class to the set (in a special carrier), had special living quarters (rooms with controlled humidity and heat) and were dressed in carefully designed costumes (body shields bearing a painted skull and crossbones) After Lecter was moved from Baltimore, he was originally to be dressed in a yellow or orange jumpsuit, but Hopkins thought that it would make the character seem more clinical and unsettling if he was dressed in pure white. Hopkins has since said that this idea came from his fear of dentists. Quid Pro Quo: Latin for: “something given or received in exchange for something else...

Social and economic factors might prevent households from diagnosing, treating, and eliminating from circulation those animals or animal products, such as milk, that are afflicted with mastitis or which came from individuals afflicted with mastitis; this is especially true in the case of the asymptomatic subclinical mastitis, which tends to become chronic and difficult to eradicate by conventional antimicrobial therapies (Brouillette & Malouin, 2005; Ng et al., 2010).

...San Diego Water and Sewage Customers Affected by Glitches in the Billing System KTC COMM/215 November 1, 2011 Pamela J. McGlynn San Diego Water and Sewage Customers Affected by Glitches in the Billing System The recent 24 million dollar upgrade to the San Diego water and sewage billing system is not performing as planned. The new billing system errors are occurring in customer billing rates, water and sewage service, and customer service response. In July 2011 the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department upgraded the water and sewage billing system at a cost of 24 million dollars. This billing system serves San Diego and the surrounding metropolitan areas, and has not performed satisfactorily,” in fact”, as of today; thousands of customers cannot log into the billing system whereas others are experiencing interruptions in their water service. It takes a few days up to two weeks to process mailed in payments. The system is back logged, and response times are very slow with customers waiting hours or days before receiving a response. The water and sewage billing system, is overseen by the City of San Diego Utilities Department. The Utilities department has been deluged with both calls and e-mails complaining about the situation. This increase in customer service complaints is forcing the department to hire new employees and also to have current employees working nights and weekends to respond to the increased workload. These employees, both new and current can...

...Week 1 Discussion Questons What’s Bothering Trevor Cost is something that everyone dislikes when it comes to seeing a doctor. I know from experience what it's like not to have health insurance. I thought I would be able to get Obama Healthcare however I was told I don't make enough hours so I have no insurance. If I was in Trevor shoes I would have chose option 1 to pay $150 to see my PCP. Trevor might not have the money at the time of his visit, if that is the case the doctor office just might work out a payment plan with Trevor. Trevor have to think about what would be best for him and his family. Trevor have several options to access. His only problem is the wait time and the distance of travel. His best option would be to go to the ER. With Trevor experiencing chest pain he will be seen faster. I know that for a fact because when I was experiencing chest pain they took my vitals and rushed me straight to the back. So his wait time would have not been long and he would be closer to finding out what's wrong with him so he can get ready to start his treatments. Trevor wants the best quality of care possible, so he must listen to the healthcare professional in regards with the instructions of his treatments. Trevor must make sure he follows all of the doctor orders in order to get better. Trevor and his wife need to make sure they understand what the doctor is telling him to do. If Trevor choose not to follow the doctor orders his health my get worse. Revolutionary...

...We chose to work with Spitfire Bar & Grill because we enjoy eating their food and it is a local restaurant. Being a local restaurant makes it a lot easier for people around the Fargo-Moorhead area to find. Spitfire makes award winning smoked food. Having this award winning food makes it exceptionally great that it is in a classy building. It was first opened in 2007 by Tim Olson which is located at 1660 13th Avenue East, West Fargo, ND. We decided to do an advertising campaign for Spitfire Bar & Grill. This advertising campaign consists of increasing last year’s sales by 5%, keeping tallies of how many people come from bison games, and finally increasing catering venues 5% from last year. In order to do this, we decided to use digital media, print media, and transit media. For our digital media, we chose to put ads on Twitter and Facebook. As for print media we decided to use flyers. Not only those, but we also used billboards for our transit media. Having these three different types of advertising medias allows us to reach all kinds of people. These advertisements will be out for eight weeks, which allows people to view these advertisements at different times essentially from any place there are. The benefits for using our advertising campaign are having sales increase by 5%, more catering venues, and also more people coming from sporting events. This in the long run will improve the consumer market of Spitfire. Once the consumer market goes up, this means the sales will rise...
