...Running Head: Marketing The Rubric’s Cube Marketing The Rubik’s Cube Teresa M. Taylor Principals of Marketing Business 330 Instructor, Garlyn Lewis November 26, 2014 Running Head: Marketing The Rubrik’s Cube Marketing across cultures around the world is increasingly becoming a thriving business with the fast-speed globalization nowadays. The Four ‘Ps’ of marketing, namely product, price, place and promotion, include most of the elements of marketing decision-making. However, socio-cultural factors, in considering the combination of marketing strategies, will always run through them. Socio-cultural factors have a huge influence in people's concept of product and buying behavior. Lack of cultural awareness not only can lead to a decrease of product sales, but can even collapses the company’s whole international image. In this sense, understanding cultural differences plays an incredibly significant role in process of developing marketing strategies. The partnership should be cohesive and be aligned with one another’s future endeavors and goals. Demographics, psychographics, and data from general areas in a given target market are beneficial information that is useful in developing marketing strategies. It assists with the marketing decisions that are results of the four P’s. When deciding if a company should expand business into a global market, it is important to conduct market research. Global market research gathers and collects data and information and identifies...

... All we need is our pointer finger, an apple, wet paper towel, glass of water and an ice cube. Let’s start wiggling that tooth! Let’s start working out the tooth to help it come out a little easier. First, we need our pointer finger for this first step. Let’s begin to press back on the tooth with our pointer finger for fifteen seconds. We have to remember not to press to hard, just hard enough that we can feel a tingling at the bottom of our tooth around the gum. Now let’s repeat the process, but this time pressing the tooth forward. We need to repeat this process several times for the next several hours or until the tooth can easily be moved by the tongue. At this point it seems like a good stopping point for a snack, right? For this step we need the apple, not so much for a snack but to help with the pulling of the tooth. The apple is going to help put a little extra pressure on the tooth just enough to pop it out. Make sure the first bite is a big one. We’re going to count to three and on the count of three take one big bite into that red, juicy apple. Ready? One…two…THREE! Did it come out? The tooth should now have fallen out, but if the tooth didn’t come out we need to continue to chomp down on the apple until the tooth falls out. This step can be a little messy. Now that we have pulled the tooth we now need the wet paper towel, glass of water and the ice cube. Let’s dab the wet paper towel on the bleeding gums to help clean up some of the blood. ...

...Question: Can an ice cube be lifted from a glass of water using a string? Background Research: Ice is frozen water. The state of matter ice is at in room temperature is liquid. When the temperature of water comes below a certain point, called the freezing point, it starts to solidify. The freezing point of pure water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but when water comes into contact with different substances the freezing point can sometimes move up or down. Salt is a white crystalline substance that gives seawater its characteristic taste. The chemical formula for table salt is sodium chloride. Salt has many uses in day to day life, and is used as a preservative, seasoning, and as a preventative measure for icing over on bridges. The reason for it being used to prevent ice forming on bridges is that it lowers the freezing point of water to slightly below 0 degrees. What is supposed to happen in this experiment is that the salt, thrown in a thin layer on top of the ice cube, should lower the melting point of the ice and melt a thin layer. The water should then cool down a bit further, and then refreeze around the string that is put on top of the ice cube. This way, the string is now inside the ice, and able to lift up the ice cube. The reason this experiment is important is that it demonstrates an important reaction that can help us in our day-to-day lives. It shows how effective salt is on ice. Hypothesis If I try to use a string to lift up an ice cube from...

...According to Codd and associates, OLAP is made up of many speculative “what-if” and/or “why” data model scenarios conducted within the context of the specific historical basis (Codd, Codd and Salley, 1993). Under these scenarios, the values of major parameters are changed to show potential variances in “supply, production, the economy, sales, marketplace, costs, and/or other environmental and internal factors” (Codd, Codd and Salley, 1993, p.6). These variable groups or dimensions make up a base for the company’s planning, analysis and reporting activities (Bogue, 2005). OLAP tools do not keep individual transaction records in a row-by-column format, like relational databases. Instead, they store consolidated information in multidimensional cubes (Olap.com, n.d.). When necessary, analysts use operations called consolidation, “drill-down”, and “slicing and dicing” to generate a worksheet-like display of viewpoints (O'Brien &...

...of organizational data. OLAP is often supported by a logical structure known as a data cube, a multidimen- sional data model that offers an intuitive array-based per- spective of the underlying data. Supporting efficient index- ing facilities for multi-dimensional cube queries is an issue of some complexity. In practice, the difficulty of the in- dexing problem is exacerbated by the existence of attribute hierarchies that sub-divide attributes into aggregation layers of varying granularity. In this paper, we present a hierar- chy and caching framework that supports the efficient and transparent manipulation of attribute hierarchies within a parallel ROLAP environment. Experimental results verify that, when compared to the non-hierarchical case, very little overhead is required to handle streams of arbitrary hierar- chical queries.

...they sit to discuss the police and F.B.I threats that they have been receiving in the mall. The movie Straight Out of Compton is based on the true story about six troubled some young black men residing in Compton, California who rise unexpectedly to fame, using their viciously honest rhymes, die hard beats, and frustrations about their lifestyle in the streets of the hood. Active from 1986 to 1991 these six men Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Arabian Prince, MC Ren, and DJ Yella have endured enormous controversy owning to their explicit lyrics that many people have view as being disrespectful to women, drugs and crime, police, and gang violence. It’s hard to actively hate Straight Out of Compton, a movie so realistic that is based seemly on the true story of six black rappers whose lyrics and rhymes had left a lasting legacy and impression on the hip-hop culture. O’Shea Jackson Jr and Jason Mitchell are spectacular as Ice Cube and Easy-E who are best friends that come to gloves with one another when Eazy-E receives more money and love from their fans then Ice Cube. Their outstanding performance acting over the edge and showing actions of ruthlessness towards each other as both men spit disrespectful lyrics at each other to become the best rap artist in the industry at that time.

...Simplifying Radicals Notes Often when we have a radical expression, we need to simplify it. A radical is in simplified form if it meets 3 criteria: * There are no perfect nth-factors inside the radical * There are no fractions inside a radical * There are no radical signs in the denominator of a fraction In this section, we will deal only with the first criterion – that there be no perfect nth factors inside the radical sign. To simplify we will be using the definition of fractional powers: Definition of Fractional Exponents We have worked with the first part of this definition before, but we will use the last part in simplifying. Study the following examples: Example. Use the definition of fractional exponents to rewrite the radical expression in exponential form. 1. By our definition, we can rewrite this as: 2. When we have a square root, the index is understood to be 2. We can write in the index and then proceed as above: Sometimes we can simplify our result after writing in exponential form: 3. Applying the definition we get . If we simplify the exponent, , and so the problem simplifies to 4. Applying the definition and simplifying we get 5. Again, the index of the square root is 2 and so In addition to the definition of fractional exponents, we will also use the following: Rule of Radicals 1: This rule can either be used from left to right or from right to left. Simplifying Square...
