...the latest news coverage that takes place in Miami. I have acquired the habit of watching the daily news with my mom every night and logging into NY Times during work hours just to browse current news and read the most recent articles as a form of entertainment. There’s no doubt that reading news articles’ on the web can be slightly addicting and is interference. Also, the news apps on your smartphone are a near constant distraction. I found myself not being able to respond to simple questions regarding the weather forecast, or anything sports related for the next couple of days. I form more casually based relationships at work due to the fact that conversation is very monotone and usually news related. You tend to become impersonal and reserved in your communication pattern towards specific individuals when you just speak about broad topics or community based issues. As if you can distinguish the difference between being acquainted with someone and establishing a friendship. I’m usually subjected to watching ESPN in addition to the daily news at my home. I think that web new sites, cable news networks and ESPN play the role of amusement and distract people from other tasks. Such as having an in-depth conversation, listening and responding accordingly to someone who is speaking to you. It develops into a mental obsession and at times may also be emotionally disturbing depending on the news content. I reflect on the news and articles...

...ASSIGNMENT # 2 One of the first twitter accounts I started following when I signed up was the New York Times. While the Times has the most visited news website in the country, I found their Social Media Strategy to be very interesting in terms of delivery. They have over 3 million followers on twitter and 1.5 million followers on Facebook, yet the feeling is this great newspaper has not maximized its social media potential. Many experts pointed to the The Washington Post as a good example of success at determining what stories are “ webable “ or made for social media and what stories have the content that is sharable. Major news stories, breaking stories, and stories about health and lifestyle seem to engage audiences the most One of the problems I’ve encountered in following the NY Times on twitter is the hodgepodge of articles that seem to be tweeted at random. Below is an example of a recent flourish of tweets from my account yesterday. I feel the philosophy of update, update, engage, engage is being misused and replaced by clutter. While I was disenchanted with the The Times tweeting strategy, I found their Facebook page very engaging. They launched a “NY Times Facebook Timeline “ page which has been a huge success. Visitors can view archival photographs dating back to 1851 and read carefully researched captions and dates. They are also doing the same thing on tumblr, where you can view compelling photographs and hopefully find a hidden treasure...

...co.uk/business-theory/strategy/business-strategy.html) Long-term objectives are “the results that an organization seeks over a multiyear period. Such objectives typically involve some or all of the following areas: profitability, return on investment, competitive position, technological leadership, productivity, employee relations, public responsibility, and employee development.” This is very important for a business to have so that they know what direction they need to go in when making decisions. Having an objective can give the company an idea on what the need to invest in at each point in time along the way. Another factor that needs to be taken into consideration when formulating their objectives is the time frame they want the objectives met. (Pearce, J. A., & Robinson, R. B. (2013). Strategic management: Planning for domestic & global competition (13th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill.) Companies need to have a mission and carry a philosophy along the way. A mission statement...

...higher than that of the market rate, and for them to be worth more than that of their face values. As such, these bonds would be considered to be premium bonds, and investors would be “willing to pay a premium to get this extra coupon amount” (Ross, S. A., Westerfield, R., & Jordan, B. D., 2013). Based on my beliefs, an adjustment I should make to my portfolio would be to sell some of the shorter duration bonds I currently manage, and purchase more with longer times to maturity. Because long duration bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes, the more the interest rates fluctuate, the more change I should expect to see in the bond’s value. And, with my belief that interest rates are going to fall, the longer the times to maturity that the bonds in the portfolio I manage have, the more substantial the changes I should expect to see in their values- and in the case, to my benefit! :-) Reference Ross, S.

...Business Research Through Stryker William Fra RES/351 Larry Lindner Business Research Through Stryker Business research is used every day throughout the world and typically is involved in the business or organization that one works for. Stryker is one of those companies whose employees use business research to analyze problems and situations in order to produce better or more efficient results. A dilemma that often requires this research comes when a sales representative requests implants and instrument to be consigned or loaned to a hospital for an extended period of time The Process At Stryker, a large portion of the business is having the right implants and instruments at the right place and right time. Understanding this question alone will help solve the problem as it is the first stage in business research (2011). When a request is made, the first step is analyzing the past 12 months for usage by the hospital. If the turns on instrument and implant sets are more than twice a month, then the request will move forward to the next phase of analysis. The next phase is looking at the ROI, or return on investment. Stryker has premade forms that help analyze this information based on management cost of set, contract pricing, and overall projected turns per month. Some sets will return a positive ROI and some will not. Those sets that do not show a positive ROI can then be subject to a 60-90 day trial. At the end of the trail, the turns on the set is measured and if the...

...enough money to feed her children. She explained her living situation and that she was receiving money from the government but they recently decreased the amount of money she was receiving and it has been hard to make ends meet. My friend took the three children and their mother into McDonalds and ordered them all enough food to hold them over for a while. Then he handed the oldest child and the mother $20 each. He also gave the mother contact information to speak with his friend who is a social worker and could possibly help her. We stood and spoke with the family for a little bit before continuing on to where we were going. Later that night we spoke more about the family and I personally was amazed by his actions. We live in NY and we see beggars all the time. Sometimes people are asking for money for reasons other than what they are actually saying. This makes us skeptical when actually giving money to strangers. Not only did he buy the family food but he gave them money as well. Despite the children being involved some people would have kept walking and not even stop to hear the mother’s story. This stuck with me because I am passionate about helping others and seeing children on the street like that broke my heart. I was curious to see how he would respond and he did above and beyond as a stranger for this family. He works hard for his money and he spent it on strangers that he felt crossed his path for a reason. This has definitely had a long term impact on me because it...

...Long Day’s Journey into Night: The Perpetual Cycles within O’Neill’s Play O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night (1956, 2002) is a depiction of the Tyrone family and the ongoing cycle of events that occur within the span of one single day in their life. At first glance, patriarch James, his wife Mary, and adult sons Jamie and Edmund, appear to be the average family in the year 1912, until one looks further and finds that each appears to be in their own version of purgatory, stuck in a repetition of events and behaviors that are both non-productive, as well as destructive. Ultimately, these result in their being condemned to continually relive the worst events in their life with their most unflattering characteristics, time and time again. Yet, in doing so, they not only self-sabotage, but sabotage each other and prevent any member of the family from realizing any genuine relief or finding any true resolution amidst this perpetual cycle, which is essentially foreshadowed by the title, itself. Therefore, from the ongoing cycle of denial and blame, to anger and guilt, to drug use and abuse, Long Day’s Journey into Night is a cynical story that illustrates the seemingly infinite cycles that depict the perpetual struggles that occur within one family over the course of an average day as the light gives way to darkness. As such, the paragraphs that follow elaborate on some of the most prominent cycles within the story, beginning with a discussion of the Tyrone family’s...

...Employee Benefits Employee benefits is very important benefit that every employee should be looking at when it comes time to search for a job. Many companies offer a lot of employee benefits, however; there are some that are more important than others. When the organization is developing and planning their benefit package, there is information that is very important for the planning process and then there is other information that is not as important when it comes to the planning process. The most important information when it comes to planning process for employee benefits would be compensation(2014). You have to have a good compensation package for your employees based on their experience, education, and knowledge. When employees are searching for jobs, one of the first things they want to know is how much they will be making per an hour or if it is salary, the employee will want to know how much their salary is going to be. So that would be one of the most important things to consider when planning for the process of employee benefits. The second most important thing when a company is planning for employee benefits would be medical insurance. Most companies offer health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, and prescription coverage. Now a days, every person has to have health insurance due to the Obama care so that is why the medical insurance is one of the most important things to plan when planning the employee’s benefits process. Medical insurance is...

...and coworkers. Sometimes though, if the values do not match up, it can cause internal conflict for the employee, or even conflict between employees. There are two main ways that an employee can have conflicts with the values, between them and their supervisors or coworkers, and between them and their company. Someone who has very strong values centered on faith will struggle with a company who requires weekend work which might cause them to miss a weekly service. Katherine Dean reminisces about a position she once held where her supervisor pushed them too hard, because he overly valued sales and financial gain, even above family time and a personal life. She felt that his drive towards profit caused competition between employees instead of a positive environment (Dean, 2011) When a supervisor is pushing their employees so hard for profits and time at the office, an employee who is more geared towards family will feel conflict. The employees felt that they were being pitted against each other, when they would...
