...The Critical Elements for the SNHU 107 Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric are, Initial Motivations, Continued Motivations, Motivation Plan and Writing Mechanics. My initial motivations for applying to SNHU were to get the education I needed to make myself more competitive in my search for a better job. I had been working at a job that I was growing to despise. I hated getting out of bed every day knowing that I had to drive 20 minutes and spend eight hours doing a job that I just hated. Going to college and applying myself to education were my initial motivations. Shortly after I was accepted at SNHU, I was offered a great job at another company. I am hoping the Continued Motivations won't be a problem. I do believe education is important...

...ANONYMOUS IT-200 Milestone Two Southern New Hampshire University Networking: Swagger Distribution’s networking illustration is showing a wired networking system for the company. As the diagram shows, the companies system is most important in the computer room. This is where most of the company’s connection begins. The internet, which is the WAN (Wide Area Network) is the beginning to the LAN (Local Area Network). This starts with the WAN coming into the computer room’s T1 Demarcation Router. The T1 Demarcation Router is then connected to the Main Router which has a connection to the Firewall as well as the Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet Switch then has a Fiber Optic cable connecting to the warehouse Remote Ethernet Switch. This allows the connectivity from the Remote Ethernet Switch to be connected to the PC’s in the shipping office. Going back to the Ethernet Switch, it is also connected to a Cross Patch Panel from which an Ethernet Drop is made allowing the data to be accessed from the offices. It is important for the company to have access to all resources throughout the company. Having these connections allows it to do so. The key aspects to the network consists of Routers, Switches, Firewall, Servers, and PC’s. Amongst these, the Routers direct the data in which direction it needs to go while the Switches are forwarding the information to the devices that it is intended to go to. The Firewall is allowing certain information to be processed through to help protect the...

...period, the Smart Bite owner met other families in the area looking for the same alternative and a product was born. Smart Bites formulated a business relationship with The SNHU Pet Store who has experienced tremendous growth over the last five years. They agreed to stock Smart Bites on their shelves and in their online store. Smart Bites decided to perform a SWOT analysis to investigate its strengths and weaknesses. This allowed them to formulate a marketing plan of action. Figure 1: SWOT analysis for Smart Bites Smart Bites found one of its strengths to be the all natural product which appeals to health conscience owners but also allows for a lighter option for less active dogs. A second strength is being manufactured in the U.S.A. This ensures the best governmental production guidelines over those made elsewhere. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) Smart Bites is a catchy name as is the slogan WHEN A BITE IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU. Printed on the package, FRESH FROM THE LAND AND SEA enhances the beef, chicken, fish and vegetable flavor lines. Smart Bites will make their product available in store and online and will offer a money back guarantee which is almost essential to new products.

...There is a lot of interpretation when it comes to stress. People deal with stress in a variety of ways. Some people handle stress better than others. Through the experiments we read about throughout the class we learned people handle stress differently and are influenced by the behaviors of others when it comes to a stressful situation. Introduction On the Holmes and Rahe self-assessment I scored a 120. This gives me a low chance of becoming ill in the future. On the Holmes and Rahe college student self-assessment, I don’t remember my exact score, but it was less than 150 which indicates mild stress. Nothing really stood out to me the most when I took these assessments. I completed these same assessments in the last course I completed at SNHU. My results did not surprise me. What I found most interesting is that the items that gave me the most points were things that I did not see as stressful events. To me Christmas and vacation are fun and relaxing events. I never really stress about either of those events. I do see where some people might find them stressful though. I seem to have a good handle on things, my life has been calm lately and I don’t have much stress to deal with. For the most part I don’t have a lot of stress in my life. There are days at work that are stressful, mainly due to the weather, but other than that things are going well. For example, if I have 5 yards to mow on Tuesday and we get a torrential rainstorm Monday night, then those yards will...

...experiences that greatly affects the substance of our theory and the way we organize our experience” (Johnson, 2003, para. 2). It is critical that children are provided with a range of experiences in order to develop cognitively. Literature provides children with experiences that help to strengthen their cognitive skills. Piaget’s Theory of cognitive development identifies four stages of development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. At each stage of development, children’s literature can provide support to that can encourage cognitive development in children. At the sensorimotor stage of development, children begin to understand how things work using their five senses and motor activity (SNHU, 2014). Children’s books that offer tactile illustrations and interactive activities are essential to developing the cognitive skills of children. Because children in this stage of development have an increased interest in play, books that require participation and touch tend to be appealing to them and help to develop their cognitive skills. At the preoperational stage, Houghton, Mifflin, and Harcourt (2013) explain that “children increase their use of language and other symbols, their imitation of adult behaviors, and their play” (“Age 2-6 section, para. 4). At this stage, children’s books that contain rhyme, rhythm, and predictable patterns will encourage cognitive development. Children are...

...There are many strategic options that a company can pursue beyond the generic, basic strategies to help a company strengthen its position in its industry and markets. The strategic options are strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, horizontal and vertical integration, and outsourcing (SNHU, 2016).

...populations, hence their intentions are purely altruistic. The group of healthcare professional volunteers find that since the inception of their venture the results are supremely disappointing as “the current use of their services is only at an estimated 7% of original expectations” (SNHU, n.d., para. 3). Additionally, the no-charge rental space arrangement necessary to conduct the provider-patient physical interactions is limited to the total of three years’ time, and the arrangement is due to expire in less than two years. A new venue may need to be secured and it may not be rent-free (additional expenditures for future consideration). Both the current circumstances that leave a lot to be desired and the uncertain future appear to be increasingly discouraging in continuing this nonprofit venture. However, one of the important aspects that could have prevented the current state of affairs (had it not been overlooked and underestimated) and can improve the nonprofit’s future is an effective marketing campaign. Initially, the group of founders relied on their personal and professional networks and the traditional word-of-moth to serve as adequate marketing and promotion of the nonprofit’s services (SNHU, n.d., para. 3). In a year’s time,...

...Milestone Two- Motorola Shana Malone SNHU Milestone Two-Motorola Motorola is a telecommunicating company owned by Goggle and a global leader in wireless, broadband, and automotive communications technologies. Motorola is one of the companies that was very popular and innovative in mobile communication. It was originally founded as Gavin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928. Its first product was a battery eliminator. Motorola products have changed over the years to include phone, wireless handsets, and much more. They also have broadband services as well. Motorola’s key beliefs have been around for decades. Their vision is: “Our history is rich. Our future is dynamic. We are Motorola and the spirit and the spirit of invention is what drives us.” Their mission statement is “We are a global communication leader powered by a passion to invent and an unceasing commitment to advance the way the world connects. Our communication solutions allow people, businesses and governments to be more connected and more mobile.” Motorola was once a great company and had a lot going for them. Then Apple products came into the mix. Motorola was a supplier to the carrier, and when Apple products came into the scene they made their pitch by directly to the consumer. And then Motorola had an obsolete product line. Also they missed the movement to 3G. They listened to the customers who stated they didn’t want 3G. Motorola listened to them, and they missed out on doing it. They also had the wrong management...

...Short Answer/Essay Questions Information Requirements Analysis 4/20/2014 SNHU Eddie Bailey A good questionnaire is one that enables collection of precise data in a well-timed manner. It facilitates the work of data gathering, data processing and the tabulation of data. It ensures that there is no collection of unneeded information. It permits complete and important analysis as well as purposeful utilization of the data composed. Random Sampling Advantages: Since it is done at chance, the whole process is evenhanded. This is good to use in less significant populations, of course it doesn't 100% protect from bias (depending on the question). But this option is a faster way of achieving information. Disadvantages: As I said before, depending on your question it cannot put a stop to bias. Also, if you are sampling information from a big population this will take too much time and patience. There is also no assurance that what these people say, represents what another group of people think. Non-Random Sampling Advantages: This is more precise because you are targeting a particular group, therefore your answers will be parallel to what the rest of the population (of this group) will answer. Disadvantages: This is more predisposed, because the individuals chosen are not at random. They also may not represent what another population thinks. According to Clark (2012) states that " Lead by Example; all facilitators must present an example to the participants...

...Last semester was agonizing to me for math. I for one admit that math is not my strong suit and this was spoken about in the beginning. I really was seeking out majors that didn’t have math or not as much math in them. I know that math is essential to anything in life. I had a fear of math and have taken some in the past; failed and passed them the next go around. Failing was never a part of my plan. I take full responsibility for it. However, I feel that I was not really given much help from my Professor. I emailed and set up times with him and we never really had a conversation because for a while we played phone tag. I emailed him and let him know I was completely lost in his class as well. I saw early on that I was going to fail the class...

...The most interesting concepts I learned from this course, Lifespan Development, were those topics that involved the many stages of development. This was of particular interest to me as I was able to compare the various theories and how they related to my own children’s developmental milestones. Having two typical children and one with Autism, it was fascinating to see the differences and similarities in their cognitive and moral development. One specific chapter that grabbed my attention was chapter 6, which focused on the different theories that focused on cognitive developmental milestones which were explained by Piaget and Vygotsky (Stantrock, pages 175 and 191). Piaget’s Processes of Development was noteworthy as it highlighted the different...
