...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Conversion Testimony Paper Submitted to Professor David A. Wheeler in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of Contemporary Evangelism EVAN 525 – B02 by James D. Dynarski January 17th 2015 Conversion Testimony Instructions Part One – “I have not always been a Christian.” I have not always been a follower of Christ Jesus; my life before Christ was a dark and angry time for me. After my mother died suddenly in 1994 at the age of forty years old, I turned to the use of illicit drugs, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, and both mental and physical sexual perversion to numb the pain of my loss, in the process falling deeper and deeper into depression. I started to hang out with a crowd that introduced me to Wicca (witchcraft). I tried to believe it filled a void in my heart and life that I had felt I lost when my mother passed away. A Christian co-worker tried her best to witness to me and I scoffed at her simple belief of true forgiveness through Christ Jesus. I left her in tears that night as I told her if there is a God and a Hell, I am not good enough for Him and I deserve the Hell she was telling me about. Her straight and narrow path seemed dim and boring compared to my wide open road of self-indulgence. Part Two – “I realized I needed Jesus and received Him into my life when…” I realized I needed Jesus and received Him into my life after I had been...

...Abstract When software is being purchased for a company we must thoroughly examine all parties involved and make sure all input is considered before making a purchase. Key players that are not involved in daily IT functions were put in charge of purchasing new software and the users and IT personnel were not contacted on what the new system should do or what features are wanted. Introduction This assignment is a case study that shows the failures of a business while integrating over to a new software system. The MSCC displayed many areas of poor judgment on technology and software in the business. They were running on old system and software into the 21st century. The time to upgrade to more current systems had long past. Problems will arise when management and support staff are not on the same page when it comes to technology decisions. Improperly trained IT staff and office politics slowed the integration process to a standstill once the new system was approved. Improper steps were also taken by IT staff as no plans were laid out to what steps to take during the process. We will look at each key player and the roles they had in the case. We will also look at what steps we would need to take if we were in Leon Lassiter’s place. Questions 1. Who are the key players in the case and what are their respective roles? 1.1 Leon Lassiter – Lassiter was brought on work at MSCC during a time where they were struggling to keep the budget balanced and produce revenue. It pioneered...

...Question 1 Mass customization, using mass-production technology to quickly and cost-effectively assemble goods that are uniquely designed to fit the demands of individual customers provides a competitive advantage to organizations (Daft, 2010). Mass customization has three main capabilities, elicitation, process flexibility, and logistics to meet customer demands (Zipkin, 2001). Elicitation is the process of providing consumers the ability to communicate what they desire, whereas information is gathered and processed. Process flexibility is the ability of an organization to take the information and provide or produce the customized product or service requested by the consumer. Once the service or product is ready, the logistics is the collaboration of the organization’s processes to employ or deliver the product or service. Mass customization may also be used in service firms, whereas unlike a manufacturing organization, service organizations accomplish their primary purpose through the production and provision of services, such as education, health-care, transportation, banking, and hospitality (Daft, 2010). An example of a mass customization utilized by service firms are colleges that offer specialties degrees. Students attending college may have a specialty they would like to pursue when obtaining a degree. Degrees offered at a college may be generalized such as obtaining a MBA, or more specialized such as a MBA with a cognate in marketing, project management, accounting...

Identify all audiences who have an interest in the project (sponsor, team members, and so on). For each audience, describe the type of information that should be communicated (progress, scope changes, costs, and so on) and the level of detail needed. List the frequency of each communication (weekly, monthly, as needed, and so on). Audience: Team Type(s) of information: presentation of project progress Frequency: as needed Audience: client/customer Type(s) of information: report of overall progress, formal briefing Frequency: as needed Audience: Team Type(s) of information: team meeting, group interaction for project Frequency: weekly B-1 Use Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the case study named Billing System Conversion Project, to determine which tasks or deliverables can be purchased from sellers and then determine which ones, if any, you would recommend for seller purchase. The tasks and deliverables that could be outsourced include the training of the team, the update of the system, software install, and the purchase of the new PCs. The only thing I would recommend outsourcing or buying from an external seller would be the PCs so that a price comparison can be done and the company could make the best financial decision. C-1 1. Use Parts 1 and 2 of the case study named Billing System Conversion Project to review the requirements...

...we encountered in this case are lack of IT knowledge, inappropriate planning, and ineffective and inefficient Resource Management. Each of these issues requires specific attention to fix the next problem and so forth. The solution to attack each individual problem or issue will be explained as follows. Problem #1 Attempting to manage the conversion from an old technology system to a new one without the proper knowledge or background in information technology. Solution Rather than attempting to fix the IT issue, which Leon Lassiter (Vice President of Marketing) of Midsouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) had no knowledge about, instead he should have recognized the issue and address it to be taken care by IT experts. Most importantly he should have consulted with the experts of the matter addressing potential problems and solutions while establishing a timetable of completion of the project within reasonable, reachable, and acceptable time frame. At the same time he needs to establish a realistic expenditure budget to avoid draining financial reserves set forth for such expenses. Now, Mr. Lassiter needs to prioritize the full conversion of the new system by October. He needs to hire an additional system analyst to help out Kovecki (System Analyst of MSCC) to transfer all of the data from the old system to the new one. In addition to that, Kovecki needs to order the new modem so that it can allow UNITRAK experts to remote access the new system to help with the difficulties immediately...

...el riesgo a los inversores. Si un bono tenía su precio a la par, los pagos del cupón era la principal fuente del retorno de los bonos. Desde que un bono convertible les proporcionaba valor a los inversores como “opciones”, las compañías generalmente emitían convertibles con cupones más bajos como si tuviesen deuda. La opción convertible significa que el bono fue cambiado por un cierto número de acciones comunes de la empresa a precio fijo. Esta opción era válida para inversionistas después de concluir con la vida del bono convertible. El valor de un bono convertible no solo depende del riesgo crediticio y las tasas de intereses del mercado, sino también del precio de la acción, de la ganancia de la misma y la volatilidad. Precio de Conversion = Valor Nominal /...

...Everything has a beginning whether by accident or design. This is true for inventions, ideas, plans and also religious conversions. Just as the great apostle Paul was on the road to Damascus to persecute more Christians he was met with his 'beginning'. On this road God intervened in Paul's life and with a bright light, being knocked off his horse and blind for three days. This is Paul's testimony of his conversion to trusting in Jesus Christ. Every believer has one even the great Emperor of Rome Constantine. Constantine's conversion is an interesting one and it came about in an unexpected circumstance. Constantine, also known as "Constantine the Great", was born after February 27, 280 and died May 22, 337. His father was an army officer...

...Assignment -1: Short questions 1. You are generating leads from online channels to sell credit cards. You are running two campaigns (let’s say A & B) on google to sell your product online and campaign A has better CTR. Assume A &B has same targeting but different set of keywords. These campaigns also use different ad copies. Mark these statements as true or false with some explanation: A. You should allocate more budget to campaign A if CTR continue to remain high – to remain high as in average position it depends on the conversion rate so this False B. Your cost per lead will be less for campaign A- True Could be where if the CTR is high. C. People searching keywords listed in campaign A find ad copy at campaign A more relevant- True – probably STP is done appropriately D. You should replace Campaign B ad copy with Campaign A ad copy as A is giving you better results- False not necessarily as it depends STP is done for specific audience with same message or keyword 2. LinkedIn allows you to bid either as CPC or as CPM. You realized that your ad position will be the same for both pricing models. Avg CPC would be Rs 110 and avg CPM is 150. You expect CTR to be in 0.2%-0.3% range based on historical data. What pricing plan will you choose? CPC or CPM. Why? Answer I would choose for CPM as the cost to the advertiser would come as per impression where CPC would be a little costly when position is coming as same 3. You are generating leads...

...the decimal point (the number of 0’s in the chart above indicates the number of places to move the decimal point). 2. Next you need to decide whether to move the decimal point left or right. To decide this, think about which is the smaller unit. (The smaller the unit is, the more of them you need to get the same amount. e.g. pennies vs. dollars) NOTE: Here is another way to write the conversions, using distance (the meter is the basic unit for distance) as an example: 0.001 km = 1 m = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1000 mm = 1,000,000 (m = 1,000,000,000 nm The “staircase” method: One more way to remember about sliding decimal points when converting between prefixes in the metric system! [pic] Move the decimal point 3 places for every step you move on the “staircase”, and in the same direction traveled on the staircase (left vs. right). Unfortunately, you can see that the “c” prefix doesn’t fit in this pattern, since it would be only 1/3 step above the “m” prefix (e.g. to go from mm to cm you would only slide the decimal point one place instead of 3 places) Using “conversion fractions” to convert between metric and English systems When converting from one metric unit to another, you can slide the decimal point as explained above, or you can multiply by an...

...CHAPTER 20 SYSTEMS DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION In chapter 18 we focused on the first phase of the Systems Development Life Cycle – Systems Analysis. Chapter 20 deals with the remaining four phases: - conceptual systems design - physical systems design - systems implementation and conversion - operation and maintenance CONCEPTUAL SYSTEMS DESIGN In the conceptual systems design phase, the developer creates a general framework for implementing user requirements and solving problems identified in the analysis phase. As shown in Figure 20-1 on page 747 HC (page 637 SC), there are three main steps in conceptual design: 1. evaluating design alternatives, 2. preparing design specifications, and 3. preparing the conceptual systems design report. [pic] Evaluate Design Alternatives There are many ways to design an AIS, so accountants and others involved in systems design must continually make design decisions. [pic] The design team should identify a variety of design alternatives and evaluate each with respect to the following standards: 1) how well it meets organizational and system objectives, 2) how well it meets user needs, 3) whether it is economically feasible, and 4) what its advantages and disadvantages are. The steering committee evaluates the alternatives. Table 20-1 on page 748 HC (page 638 SC) presents examples of conceptual and physical design considerations and their corresponding...

...CONVERTING AMERICA TO THE METRIC SYSTEM TITLE OR PURPOSE To convert the United States of America from the Standard Issue Units to the Metric System. MAJOR AREAS TO BE AFFECTED The entire population of the U.S.. All of the U.S. major organizations and associations. JUSTIFICATION In 1970, Canada enacted the White Paper Metric Conversion Law to convert their country to the metric system. This law ensured that Canada would change all their forms of units to be metric. Policies in their Parliament and Constitution changed before the law went into motion. These changes allowed the government to implement the conversion into the everyday lives of the Canadian people. The year following after the law was enacted the government established the Preparatory Commission. This was considered the metric commission to organize and enforce the conversion in all sectors of the Canadian economy and spread the ideals of the metric system. In 1973, over 100 committees with members from all national associations and major organizations were created. Each of these committees were set up with a plan of preparation for the sectors conversion. The process of replacing the original imperial units with metric units involved all kinds of documents, processes, and measurements. the practical approaches to all these complications were created by the committees, each with strategies and policies conformed to suit their interests. Public awareness was an important area of consideration in order...
