The description of the company I would like to start a company that would specialize in such branches of computer forensics as data recovery and prevention of data loss. I have chosen this specific activity because these services may be required by both governmental and private organizations. On the whole, data loss is one of those problems faced by many customers, and many of them may ask for our assistance. Data recovery is essential for business continuity, and those enterprises which suffered from this problem spare no costs in order to restore valuable information. The company, which I intend to start, will help clients to restore information that has been damaged, erased, corrupted or made inaccessible in any way. We will work with various data storage media such as hard-disk drives, digital versatile disks, compact disks, flashcards, and even floppy disks. We will do both hardware recovery and non-hardware recovery. At this point, I can refer to Fields Data Recovery that is a good example of the firm that I would like to open or supervise. The type of work it does This company has worked in this field for eighteen years; they recover data from a large variety of storage media, for example, desktop and laptop hard drives, CDs DVDs, backup tapes, MP3 players, NAS, SAN and so forth (Fields Data Recovery, 2010 unpaged). The offices of this firm are located across the United States and in different regions of the world, in particular in France, Middle East (Dubai) and the United Kingdome (Fields Data Recovery, 2010 unpaged). They address the needs of various customers: 1) governmental and federal agencies; 2) private businesses; 3) healthcare organizations and 5) financial institutions. Furthermore, it should be mentioned that the employees of this data recovery company are very knowledgeable about storage media, produced by various manufactures such IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, Seagate and so forth (Fields Data Recovery, 2010 unpaged). In fact, these corporations are the key clients of Fields Data Recovery, and the management of this company has established long-term partnerships with them. Fields Data Recovery Guarantees complete confidentially of the inside information such as IP addresses, telephone numbers, or emails. Thus, this is the type of company which I would like to run. The major success factors for this type of organization are speed, efficiency, and confidentiality. Equipment required for the lab At this point it is necessary to determine what kind of technologies will be required for these processes. In this context, the word “ technologies” means both equipment and software. In the majority of cases, data recovery companies do not provide information about those technologies which they use, and Fields Data Recovery is not an exception from this rule. The main reason
Physician-hospital arrangements have been found to facilitate the expansion of managed care health insurance (Cuellara and Gertlerb). It is imperative that health care organizations form strategic physician-hospital arrangements to align the interests of the physicians with that of the healthcare institutions engaging their services (Benoff and Grauman). In many of the instances because of poor implementation, the physician-hospital arrangements have not delivered the required results (Bolinger). However, in the case of MaineHealth (Portland, ME) a Clinical Integration and Community Health Improvement organization a perfect integration has resulted in profound success in extending services to the community. The ranking of the hospital has been increasing consecutively. Through a survey, the institution has been recognized as one of the best performers in the healthcare industry by a healthcare data and services information-consulting firm – Verispan. MaineHealth has been placed at rank 40 out of the 580 healthcare organizations assessed by the annual survey in terms of operations, quality, scope of service, and efficiency in operations. The consulting firm lists the top 100 healthcare organizations chosen based on the different criteria. The organization has improved its position from 86 last year, to 40 this year (MaineHealth). Implementation of the Integration Process The institution could enhance its performance to this level based on two initiatives followed by the physicians and other healthcare professionals attached to the hospital. These initiatives were in the areas of clinical integration and community health improvement. In the clinical integration process, a team of physicians and associated healthcare professionals formulate a framework of best practices that can be adopted as best practices for the delivery of healthcare services to patients.

Executive summary Fragrance Villa is a start up firm planned to be located in Dubai Airport Freezone, Al Quds St., UAE. The company is to be owned by a sole owner, Mukesh Adan, who will be in charge of the managerial functions of the company. The firm intends to position itself competitively in the perfume retail industry by opening a shop in the specified location and later diversify into other places within and outside the city. The shop will stock various perfume products from high-end to low-end to take care of the overwhelmingly big perfume and cosmetics industry in UAE. Introduction Dubai has in the past decade become a hotspot for business, especially due to its centralized nature and booming economy. The Middle East as a whole is a steadily growing perfume market that currently is valued at more than $ 2 billion and is expected to grow steadily in the near future thus making it a very attractive business destination for both foreign and local business companies. According to the Beauty World Middle East (2011), “Cosmetics and fragrance firms are attracted to Dubai because of the tax-free zone and 100% ownership subsidies given by the Dubai Airport Free Zone”. This has attracted the large number of investors who have set up their headquarters and business centers in Dubai airport tax free zones. Mission The main mission of Fragrance Villa is to make it one of the most respected and reliable retailers of perfume products within the U.A.E, especially Dubai city. Since many visitors visit Dubai annually and the local demand for perfumes is also high, Fragrance Villa intends to dissect and study the needs of the market and sell products that will become household brands. Objectives  1. The founder of Fragrance Villa intends to start making profits by the end of the second year.  2. The founder of Fragrance Villa expects to launch the company by the third quarter of 2011.  3. Fragrance Villa intends to be among the top ten perfume retailers and wholesalers by the end of its third year of operations. Keys to success  1. The entrepreneur is known to be a quite skilled and stubborn individual who doesn’t give up on his/her ambitions.  2. Manpower. The Company Fragrance Villa intends to open up the shop before the end of the year 2011, as a sole proprietorship with the entire business belonging to one individual, Mukesh Adam. Mukesh will run the firm with the assistance of the employees, family and friends. Mukesh considers himself as a highly talented and a passionate individual with the ability to steer the business into a greater future by competing in the current market within Dubai. He is also a professional business consultant so it is expected that his expertise will come in handy into the business operations. The company’s main business format is to target the entire market that consist of a wide range of demographics and market perfu
Is Duncan Cowie right in his view that China is an “ideal market” for NuComm? Is this the right time to enter? In today’s world, it has been noted that the internal market in any given single country has been shrinking by the day, hence forcing the firms to search for markets outside their country. Consequently, globalization has come in handy to help these firms with the much-needed demand for their goods and services, therefore, decreasing their operating costs and increasing the profit margins through economies of scale. Contrary to many people’s views, going outside one’s country of origin is not an easy task, and it requires strategic planning together with good timing not forgetting enough and extensive research to be sure that the investment is worthy, since the initial costs are high. NuComm management is faced by the dilemma of determining whether investing in China is a feasible option, and if it is to choose the location and mode of entry. Duncan Cowie the financial manager of the company who worked in China for around two years, and has some experience in the Chinese business atmosphere, proposed that China is the ideal market for Nucomm. NuComm needs to diversify from the American and the Canadian markets where it has based its operations for years due to the volatility of the currencies there hence affecting its profit margins. The idea of investing in China was the best at the time given the prevailing conditions. 1. The Chinese workers in North American represent a significant number yet they are not covered by any call center firm, and that would make a good opportunity as they will be more ready to associate themselves with a company which would serve them even when they are back in China. 2. China is still an upcoming industrial country where a service industry is just but gaining foot, and that would be advantageous, if NuComm becomes one of the first firms to start offering the communication service. 3. There are a lot of opportunities that are available in China and highlights the meager number of call centers available compelling one call center seat to serve 100, 000 people compared to America’s 700 people. 4. The government of the people’s Republic of China has recently promised to support foreign firms that have the intention of investing in the telecommunication sector, since they want to develop this sector. The government has indicated the possibility of relaxing laws that regulate foreign investment, including the requirement that a foreign firm must have some percentage of local ownership in order to operate in China, to attract foreign firms. This is an idea that NuComm should take advantage of because though it is only directed to a specific city, Dalian, the Chinese govern
Impression of the Church Although I am not a protestant, my first impression of the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral was both overwhelming and humbling. As I pulled over at the church, which is located along the North Bayshore drive, I felt almost as though I was arriving at a classic beach resort, but one with a religious atmosphere. It is an impressive structure, whose architectural design bears elements of both the gothic and modernist architectural movements. It stands on a flat piece of ground and, although there is a skyscraper right next to it, it still manages to stand out like the holy edifice it is. A fenced, neatly trimmed lawn surrounds it, and there are palm trees growing at the edge of the compound, giving the structure a serene and contemplative appearance. Nature of Worship While we settled into our seats, music played in the prelude to the mass and bulletins with the contents of the day’s service were passed around. After a short prayer led by the vicar, we were called upon to say a collect prayer, which I later came to learn means putting our thoughts together. Then there were greetings and we sat down for the liturgy of the word in order from the First reading, Psalms, Second and Third readings. In between the readings, there were various acclamations and then the gospel after which, the priest rose to deliver the sermon (Stauffer, 2003). The theme of the day was humility and spiritual poverty, which drew heavily from the Beatitudes. I found it quite interesting since being a Christian, I could relate to what he was saying. However, what I found most remarkable was the fact that the psalm was not sung, it was simply read like the rest of the readings. In my church, it would not feel like I had been to mass if I did not take part in chanting the Responsorial Psalm. Just saying it aloud sounded a bit like a grade school lesson to me. Admittedly, the catholic chanting I find normal might seem even stranger to someone not used to it. Comparisons and Reflections The congregation appeared sombre throughout the service, and people did not exchange any conversation. However, during the mass, there was a point where the priest asked us to shake our neighbours’ hands as a sign of peace. Like everything else, this was done solemnly, although my neighbour, no doubt noticed I was new to it all, smiled in encouragement. There was also Holy Communion, but it was unlike in the Catholic Church, where the priest dips the wafer in the goblet of wine and places it in the communicant’s mouth (Stauffer, 2003). Here, the priest gives the communicants a wafer and a tiny container of wine while on their knees. However, aside from that, the overall rites were almost identical. In conclusion, I would say the service was quite enjoyable and although it had the same traditional feel as the catholic mass, it was a refreshing change. In fact, I recommend the experience to anyone, irrespective of their religious affiliation si
Ethical standards and codes are usually the principles that are advocated for in a particular setting or discipline and when they are adhered to, they act as instruments or tools for promoting good values, for instance trust, fairness and equality and general good conduct or behavior in the process of carrying out various duties and responsibilities in an individual’s day to day life. They advocate for maintenance of morals in all practices. There exist various ethical standards and codes that govern the practices and activities of various professions for instance teaching, medicine, law and psychology among other disciplines (Bianca, 2010). This piece of work looks at the APA’s moral codes and standards examining its influence on the (professional) practice in the field of psychology. The American psychological association (APA) is an essential and well known professional organization that is formed by the people in the field of psychology in the United States of America. The APA ethical principles and code of ethics are very essential to all psychologists and should be adhered strictly in their practices. The APA’s ethical standards and codes influence the professional practice of the people involved in the various areas in the field of psychology through the outlining of the ethical principles and standards to be followed by the professionals in their work. Some of the principles stipulated in the codes of ethics include; justice in term of access to the psychology services by everyone, integrity which involves honesty and accuracy in all the activities involved, dignity which touches on aspects of treating all people in a human manner and at the same time safeguarding the co-employees and client’s privacy and confidentiality as well as their self determi
Introduction The Product: marketing on the international scene is very complicated considering the amount of competition that is there and the awareness of cultural diversity issues. However, in the current world where society is getting into a global village, international marketing could be fun. Since it’s in the era of technology where without technology we can get lost and most of our everyday activities involve use of technology, as it makes our lives easier and it saves time. So the product I have chosen is “power mat”. This is a wireless charger. The charger is compatible with use on several devices. It charges numerous electronics like mobile phones, iPods, portable games, electronic readers, GPS devices, Bluetooth headphones, notebooks, and laptops. Power mat technology is highly miniaturized. It can therefore be embedded into practically any device, as well as affixed on the walls and tabletops. Power mat technology is very fast, proficient, and secure. It has therefore revolutionized the way consumers charge their electronics and use energy. I have chosen this product because it’s a new powerful device and there are a lot of people that are obsessed with new technology. The Target Nation: I have chosen France as the target market. This is because most French people like technology and use a lot of different technological devices; the Power mat is not for people who only have one or two devices. Power mat is more beneficial for those people who have several consoles, iPods, music players, and cell phones (Sarah 430). Also, families can share the gadget. The other major advantage of the device is that it’s wireless. It can hence be placed on counters, tables, or on lampstands. Since the economic crisis that affected Europe and other areas of the world in 2008, France has been able to get up strongly and the economic position is steadily picking up. The country’s Gross domestic product has improved by 2 percent while the unemployment rate dropped from 9% to 1%. This means that the residents have some disposable amount of money that can be spent on other electronic gadgets (Sarah 430). The global financial crisis did not affect France as such due to its strong economy. In recent past France has had the highest birth rates in the region. This means there are a lot of younger customers who are able to invest in several electronics that could compatible with our Power mat chargers. Younger parents also support the use of technology – electronic products (Sarah 430). The expected outcome and why: I think this product will be a successful product on the marke
Introduction Reading is an essential skill people use for facilitating learning and developing as well-rounded individuals. However, in the middle-school educational setting, motivating students to read can be challenging due to their lack of concentration, interest in the learning process, and the overall limited dedication to the process. Thus, there should be a set of cohesive guidelines set in place to ensure a high level of students’ reading motivation and the meeting of established goals. This paper will present a synthesis of the literature on motivating students to read to gain a better understanding of effective strategies that teachers can use in their practice. While it is essential to find methods that will benefit the motivation to read, there is no single approach that will be effective in every setting as students’ needs and levels of preparation vary significantly. Motivation Motivation is a concept that is used for denoting the reasons for people’s actions, goals’ achievement, and willingness to do something. In many instances, motivation implies a person’s need for reaching satisfaction, with the desires and wants being acquired through the influence of lifestyles, society, and culture. In this discussion, the concept of motivation will be explored from the perspective of education. As mentioned by Tohidi and Jabbari (2012), motivation refers to “powering people to achieve high levels of performance and overcoming barriers in order to change” (p. 820). This definition applies to discussions of education, especially as learners are expected to modify their behaviors and be persistent in gaining new knowledge. Similar findings about the role of motivation were presented by Strobel and Borsato (2012) who explored the ideas of caring and motivation in middle school classroom settings. For instance, it was concluded that the motivational beliefs and actions of students were directly associated with the establishment of caring classroom practices and positive environments. Besides, researchers found that learners’ perceptions regarding effective classroom practices ranged from one individual to another, suggesting that there was no single approach that would suit all students. This study is important to the discussion about motivation because it encourages educators to consider not only assignments or learning tools but also environments within which they practice pedagogy. Further discussion on intrinsic motivation will reinforce the importance of positive learning environments in increasing readers’ likelihood to enjoy the process of learning. The orientation on specific goals within the educational process was also shown to influ
