...Nikeisha Vinson Trapped Chilean Miners 3/10/2014 BCOMM275 D. Williams When handling a fickle audience one needs to consider how much information that needs to be divulged. One should tell them only pertinent information that would put to ease any worries or concerns. After the collapse of the Chilean mine, you want to keep the families updated on their family members trapped and try a keep them optimistic of the outcome. When dealing with people of different ethnicities and language barriers, one would need to express empathy and great care handling the information. Under no circumstances should the complexity of the situation be expressed to the family, friends or employees of this accident. Now there is some major dissention when it comes to how information is portrayed when considering the audience. Often times, when relaying despairing information to the mass we tend to leave out details to spare the faint of heart and discourage panic. After the collapse of the mine, the miners families and employee’s wanted to know what steps the company was going to take to remedy this situation, how long it would take to retrieve the trapped miners and how soon after could the workers could come home. After reading this article written by Juan Weik, the communication stated nothing but the facts. The communication warranted enough information to let the worried families know what had happened, what was being accomplished, and that investigations were being carried out to gather...

...you don't do me the injustice to suppose that I distrust you," she said quickly. "Certainly not, Miss Halcombe. I make my proposal purely as an act of attention to YOU. Will you excuse my obstinacy if I still venture to press it?" He walked to the writing-table as he spoke, drew a chair to it, and opened the paper case. "Let me beg you to write the note," he said, "as a favour to ME. It need not occupy you more than a few minutes. You have only to ask Mrs. Catherick two questions. First, if her daughter was placed in the Asylum with her knowledge and approval. Secondly, if the share I took in the matter was such as to merit the expression of her gratitude towards myself? Mr. Gilmore's mind is at ease on this unpleasant subject, and your mind is at ease—pray set my mind at ease also by writing the note." "You oblige me to grant your request, Sir Percival, when I would much rather refuse it." With those words Miss Halcombe rose from her place and went to the writing-table. Sir Percival thanked her, handed her a pen, and then walked away towards the fireplace. Miss Fairlie's little Italian greyhound was lying on the rug. He held out his hand, and called to the dog good-humouredly. "Come, Nina," he said, "we remember each other, don't we?" The little beast, cowardly and cross-grained, as pet-dogs usually are, looked up at him sharply, shrank away from his outstretched hand, whined, shivered, and hid...

...Knowing Your Audience Roberto Robles BCOM/275 October 1, 2012 Mrs. Bullon Knowing Your Audience What is the most important rule you can think of when communicating with others? The first thing we should all take into account when communicating in any form is, who is going to be the recipient. Who are we communicating with? Knowing our audience in crucial so that we can convey our message correctly and minimize any confusion or misunderstanding. We can adjust our feelings, position and our attitude according to the specific situation and to whom the message is going out to. We can also tailor the way we deliver our message appropriately by understanding our audience and by having a firm understanding of all the variables in relation to the message we will send out. In this case, I will be communicating with the workers and family members of the copper mine workers that were trapped when a mine collapsed in Chile a few years back. This event surely raised similar feelings between co-workers of the trapped miners and their families as well, however when communicating to both parties the same communication would not be appropriate. Whatever similar feelings they shared, both parties also had separate feelings and concerns based on the fact that the personal relationships to the trapped miners were different. Both parties had different distinct roles in relation to the trapped miners so I will address each accordingly. From a management prospective, I think it is important...

...Describe what is meant by the equation “danger + unpredictability = suspicion”. How does this influence police subculture? The equation “danger+ unpredictability = suspicion means, they have to be aware of the job they are doing. They could perform a routine traffic stop without their being a suspicion of any other wrong doing other than a traffic violation. This one stop might be a drug smuggler who is on his last strike, or a fugitive on the run who has nothing to lose. This could lead to a footrace unnecessary gun fire, or death. It is a very dangerous job, and you have to trust your instincts. I was taught in a driver’s education class to do my best to put the officer at ease by putting my hands where he/or she can see them, which also could help save your life as well, because any wrong sudden movements could cause an unwanted situation. There have been a lot of cases where unarmed citizens have been harmed, because a police officer felt his life might have been in danger when it when it wasn’t. The danger on the job is most evident. I think the most unpredictable part about it is the unpredictability of others. You never know what a person is going through or what they have endured in life it is not a job I would want to have because you never know what people are capable of. It is sad to say you have to be suspicious of anyone you pull over, or come encounter...

...The entire night of November 9th, 2011 still leaves a weird feeling in my mind. From everything we’ve done in class so far, Kristallnacht has been one of the biggest things that stood out for me. I went in with pretty big expectations for the commemoration and even though I was upset it wasn’t held outside anymore, it still affected me more than I thought it would. Walking into the chapel was intimidating to me because even though I’m a junior that was my first time entering. I was a little upset at the small amount of people that showed but the minute Renate started speaking again I felt more at ease knowing that like that night, it wasn’t about the numbers involved so much as it was about the message being conveyed. Renate’s story is one that cannot be over looked. To hear first hand, and even second hand is so much more impacting then reading about something in books and through articles. As much as Renate impacted me, she was only a small part of the commemoration. Everything came together and flowed very nicely and I found myself more than willing to stay longer then required. My favorite part was the passion shown by everyone involved. Although I didn’t necessarily understand some of the songs and prayers, it was still powerful to say the least. One thing I will always remember, and the thing that made the biggest impact on me was an elderly man who stood next to me towards the end. This man walked in late and although he never spoke to anyone, he sang and participated...

Warning - If you are allergic to daisies, ragweed, or chrysanthemums, you may have an allergic reaction to chamomile tea. Proceed with caution. 2) Tart Cherry Juice Spritzer What it is A long time ago, your great-grandmother may have made cherry pies from tart cherries and put them on the windowsill to cool. Now, tart cherries (also called sour cherries) are recognized as a superfruit with multiple health benefits. Tart cherries get their healing benefits from flavonoid compounds called anthocyanins. Tart cherries have been shown to reduce muscle soreness after exercise, improve heart health, ease arthritis pain, boost immunity, regulate metabolism, fight abdominal fat (http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/jmf.2008.0270), and improve sleep. Why it soothes A study published in Natural Medicine Journal (http://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2012-05/cherry-juice-supplies-melatonin-and-improves-sleep), revealed that the natural melatonin (sleep hormone) contained in cherry juice significantly increased time in bed, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency in participants who consumed the juice. It is also believed that the anti-inflammatory properties of cherries may reduce inflammatory cytokines that could interfere with a restful night's sleep. A study published by the Journal of Medicinal Food (http://www.ncbi.nlm...

...factor towards sparking an interest to get everyone else involved. Effective leaderships start from within, and before a person becomes a leader, they have to play their position and participate until their mission is complete. Encouraging others to express their ideas, their needs, and their hopes about an issue or pending decision that affects them is participation (Whisenand & Ferguson, 2009). Thinking outside the box and expressing concerns gets a person actively involved. When leaders notice that they are receiving the feedback they need, they then capitalize on it. There is uniqueness for everyone, finding what it is, how it works for that person determines the dos and the don’ts. Finding out what motivates a person places a leader at ease because you will know what to do to get this employee to respond to the best of their ability. Once a leader has mastered these tasks, the next step is to start developing a professional relationship to earn their trust. The Role of Trust in Personnel Issues Trust in the workplace can be awkward at times; not knowing who an employee can express...

...What a great eBook this is. I really loved Matthew’s comfortableness in talking and teaching the material. He makes the student feel at ease and really makes it seem like the content is easily obtainable. I do agree that practice is key and the more you do a certain thing it’ll became second nature. Nothing really beats hands on experience in anything you try to do. I’ve had computer textbooks and eBooks before but this is by far the best one I have used. Watching the video on Dreamweaver gets me really excited to start using it. As I listened to Matthew I felt that it was me that could be moving the mouse, and clicking the right tools. My personal favorite of all videos was How to Choose the Right Color. Even when speaking about it within the chapter and taking us to the various websites for color scheme. When I was designing alone for print I just went with what color I felt was pleasing to me or to someone else. I don’t have a great eye for color but with these sites, I will always go directly to them. I already have colors floating around in my head now for my own site. I also haven’t used the internet too much for research on any one particular item or thought or project. I noticed Matthew used the internet a lot. He would type in any simple thing he needed to know from how to take screenshots to inspiration. It was really great when he went through a short presentation in Photoshop on taking screenshots and saving those compressed images. It was a very...

Dan was too nervous to stand next to Buck, that is why I am there. I wish you were there with us.

...Trap Ease Case Study 1. Martha and the investors in the Trap Ease seem to face a “once in a lifetime opportunity.” What information do they need to evaluate this opportunity? How do you think the investor group would write the mission statement? How would you write it? Trap Ease America has obtained worldwide rights to market an innovative mousetrap which had won the title of “best new product” at a National Hardware Show in Chicago.

This will help Trap Ease to identify who will be the best target market for their product and what would be the best market offering, how your target market makes purchasing decisions, how your competition positions their products and what your product has to offer.

How is the product positioned relative to the selected target market in the case? Are there other ways to position the product? Trap –Ease America’s research...

...Christopher Rowe Week 2 Company Case Jan. 22, 2014 MGT3010XB Introduction to Marketing 1:Martha and the Trap-Ease America investors believe they face a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What information do they need to evaluate this opportunity? How do you think the group would write its mission statement? How would you write it? Martha and the investors need to look at the wants and need of the consumer, not just be marketing to one segment of the population. Is the consumer wanting the ease and convenience of what they are offering or are they looking for something that is more cost effective and does the same job. Martha and the investors are amazed by this product, but only know the responses of a certain portion of the population and not everyone. If they were to change their marketing to a more environmental friendly device and more convenient and reusable, they would get more interest in the mouse trap they are trying to promote. If they were to look more at a social marketing concept they would get more interest in the product. For a mission statement they would more committed to the product then they are the consumer, they need to look at both aspects when coming up with a mission statement. Their mission statement would go off of the quote that hung by her desk. " If a man {can}... make a better mousetrap than his neighbor ... the world will make a beaten path to his door." Where as a better mission statement for the product might go like - We are committed to...

...1) Martha and the Trap-Ease America investors believe they face an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What information do they need to evaluate this opportunity? How do you think the group would write its mission statement? How would you write it? Martha and Trap-Ease America have an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a new mousetrap but in order to capitalize on this opportunity they need to evaluate the 4-Cs of marketing. Focusing on the customer’s solution, cost, convenience and communication will enable Trap-Ease America to effectively market their new innovative mousetrap. The mission statement from Martha and the investors would be something like “We make a mousetrap that is safe, easy to use and less mess.” This is because they were focused more on the product than on the customer. My mission statement would focus on the customer: “We help you remove your un-wanted pests--easier, safer and with less mess.” 2) Has Martha identified the best target market for Trap-Ease? What other market segments might the firm target? Martha has identified one of the best target customer for Trap-Ease by choosing women. Most women do not want to use or handle the old mousetraps. Trap-Ease would be a great product for them. Another market she could add to Trap-Ease is animal lovers. This trap would allow this market to release mice into a field or other uninhabited area. It also will not cause non-fatal injuries to a mouse. Because this product is reusable, she could...
