The Rise and Fall of Circuit City [PDF]. Circuit City was the “go to” place for all our technological needs. Over the years, Circuit City built itself into 1,520 stores in the United States and Canada and 46,000 workers. Competitors popped up, such as Minnesota-based Best Buy and discount club stores such as Costco. As a result of many failures, Circuit City is no longer in business. Sometime during the 1990s, Circuit City lost its way:Â
It dumped sales of popular appliances.
It let a lot of talented management go to its spinoff store chain, CarMax.
It expanded stores until they became too impersonal and too large.
It became merely reactive and not innovative as Best Buy took off.
It had too many stores in bad locations.
It stopped paying commissions to its sales force and then fired 3,400 of its most experienced salespeople in an attempt to save money.
There was a lot of leadership turnover.
Its commercial credit became tight.
The Downfall of Toys R Us — Don’t Blame Amazon!
Founded in April 1948 by Charles Lazarus, an American entrepreneur, Toys R Us became the most well-known and successful international toy retailer. At its peak, Toy R Us was considered a category killer. In 2018, seventy years later, the giant company filed for bankruptcy and closed its stores worldwide.
4 Reasons Amazon’s Fire Phone Was a Flop.Â
Amazon has been guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, best employer, and safest place to work. Their name has become synonymous with online shopping and discount shopping and on the forefront for most of their consumers’ online needs.
However, not all endeavors have been successful. In 2014 Amazon released its Amazon Fire Phone. Consumers and analysts were expecting Amazon to follow its familiar playbook of offering a cheap, but good-enough product that could undercut other devices already on the market. Â However, the phoned ended up costing the company a loss of over 170 million.
Google Shuts Failed Social Network Google+.Â
Google’s primary mission is to provide people around the world with a search engine to find information, learn about topics of interest, and make important decisions. As technology evolves, they claim they will continue to help everyone find the information they’re looking for.
As the years have progressed, Google has evolved to offering many different technological items such as web-based search tools, advertising services, communication and publishing tools, map-related products, statistical tools, business-oriented products, developer tools, security tools, desktop applications, computer products, and cellular devices. In 2011 they even developed their social media platform Google+, which was meant to rival Facebook. The idea was for the platform to be synchronized with all other Google created products and software services for seamless integration. However, things did not go as planned. By 2019 Google decided to pull funding in order to reallocate it to more profitable avenues.

solved Your final paper is built up around the various components
/in /by adminYour final paper is built up around the various components of you assembled throughout the course.  As you’ve done various components of the work, the final version has you assembling for use.  Below each section, I note where you can look back to because you’ve already begun the vast majority of these parts, now it’s assembling, expansion, and editing.
This may seem a bit odd because it’s not really a “paper†in the sense you’re used to which, yes, that’s correct.  But the process here is actually the core process that is used by the majority of researchers as we begin our own studies: we have an idea, get some basic understanding of its scope, read some literature to get a handle on the state of the field and broader/deeper knowledge of the topic, and form some beginning hypotheses from this to get us grounded on what we actually know and what we want to know.Â
For your final paper, you will need to submit a document that contain the following sections. Â These should be formatted generally in APA style:
Double-spaced
Size 12 font
Times New Roman
Hanging indent/alphabetical references list
A cover page
remember to do the correct running head style
Page numbers
Make sure your name is on the first page
Regarding length: I’m less concerned with a specific word count than I am about thoroughness. You have 5 annotations that you are completing, which are often around 2/3 of a page to 1 page each (so, it’ll probably be around 3.5 – 5 pages in that section). The intro is somewhere between 1/2 and 1 page. And the hypothesis section is 1/4 to a 1/2 page in length. This gives you a rough idea but content is more important than just having your paper be a certain length.
Paper structure
Simple Introduction
Your introduction should introduce the reader to the general aspects of your topic.  In this, I want you to present that topic you’ve been interested in, noting a research question and the logic/reasoning that you’re interested in this topic.  Additionally, you must include a point drawn from either one of the data sites presented in the final week or from a trustworthy news source that gives some insight into the scale of the problem that you’re interested in.  For example, if your paper is about college drinking, you’d want some sort of basic statistic that says what percent of college students drink (or, you could even fine tune it a bit further and do what percent of college students binge drink).  This is so your reader/audience can understand and draw a sort of why is this an important topic.  Make sure this is cohesive enough that the next section.
Basic items from earlier weeks to use as the basis here: Project Idea
Annotated Bibliography
Rather than have you assemble a literature review that links your articles together, you will need to do an annotated bibliography of your articles.  For this, you will need a total of five academic, peer-reviewed articles (note: you’ve already found 3, so you’ll just expand on them as you find two more!).  For these five articles, they can address the variables you’re interested in varying amounts.  So, you could have two articles about race, only one on gender, and two on age.  Each of annotations need to be a fully fleshed out annotated bibliography.Â
The best resource on this is OWL Purdue: Annotated Bibliographies (Links to an external site.)
(Links to an external site.)An important note is their annotation examples highlight a few different types including MLA, APA, and Chicago.  The APA approach doesn’t include a reflection for using it in your own work (this is because the annotated bibliographies are meant to be a repository for your own use so that, if you’re writing another paper in the future and think you want to use a reference again, you can review your own notes to see if it’ll be useful).  For this project, I want you to use the MLA approach to annotations: “a summary, an evaluation of the text, and a reflection on its applicability to his/her own research†(The Writing Lab, 2017).  All five must have these 3 sections.
Basic items from earlier weeks to use as the basis here: Project Idea; Finding (and Using) Relevant Literature
Hypotheses
The last items that I want you to develop in this are a set of three hypotheses built from the literature.  So, you’ve already spent some time on your articles and thinking about your topic and variables over the week.  You’re going to end the components of this by articulating specific hypotheses from the literature you just assembled that would guide your own research.  You don’t need to go into heavy or long explanations on this but the when your reader/audience sees your hypotheses, the annotations they just read should prime them on these.  Basically, do these hypotheses connect to the annotations that I just read or do they seem to come out of left field.

/in /by adminPlease answer the following questions, 300 words minimum. Define “community counseling†as discussed beginning on page 9 of the text and include the concepts of community, multicultural competence, social justice, and the healthy development of clients and communitiesWhy is the community counseling model important to mental health professionals?How does the community counseling model tie the services provided by the counselor to the client’s environment.Please reply to the following posts, 200 words minimum for each post.Post 1As stated by the textbook, community counseling is, “A comprehensive helping framework that is grounded by in multicultural competence and oriented toward social justice.” The concept of community is said to be a group of people who have things in common and share similar interests and needs. Community is what unites many different people together, no matter their race, gender, origin, etc. Multicultural competence is what is widening the scope to which mental health professionals are expanding their helping strategeis to reach everyone. In other words, they want to adopt new strategies that can help out people of different cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds to best reach them. It is stated that mental health professionals must be aware of their cultural view and biases in order to best help their client. They need to put their beleifs and views aside and understand the differences between their culture’s and their client’s cultures. Social justice is the understanding of other races, origins, genders, etc, and being able to promote acess and fairness for everyone. Counselors need to understand how to help someone who has not had equal access or treatment to their way of life, whether that be in their human rights or access to resources. A counselor helps in community by advocating for social justice and understaning their need to help everyone to be treated fairly. Lasltly, human development is, “the process of enlarging people’s choices.” This means reachnig certain capabalities that can allow people lead better and healthier lies, whether that be working on the social, political or even economic aspects of people’s lives. The reaching of these capapbilities allow people to feel part of a community.The community counseling model is important to mental health professionals because it makes it easier to establish a healhty system that can best deliver mental health help to a community. It is important to know that to best make use of the model is by facilitating growth by using positive and empowering methods. The community counseling model ties the services provided by the counselor to the client’s environment becasue ot allows for a health system. Without a healthy community that is provided by the counselor, there might not be progress. There need to be a positive setting and environent to best help the client.Post 2According to the text, community counseling is defined as a comprehensive helping framework that is grounded in multicultural competence and oriented toward social justice. The concept of community can have many different meanings. Communities have unity, continuity, and predictability; this means that it consists of so many different variables that bring everything together. Multicultural competence is known to as being able to become aware of your own assumptions about huan behavior, values, biases, preconveived notions, and personal limitations. It also has to do with actively understanding the worldview of culturally different clients and learning to work and understand what works best for them. Social justice is characterized as the belief that all people have a right to equitable treatment, suport for their human rights, and a fair allocation of societal resources and advocating for it. In regards to healthy development of clients and communities, that is known as the process of enlarging people’s choices when it comes to their health and mental health. undefinedThe community counseling model is important to mental health professionals because it facilitates human and community development through client advocacy, and mental health interventions to be able to assist the community on more ways than one. undefinedThe community counseling model ties the services provided by the counselor to the client’s environment by focusing on the human development, psychological and multicultural counseling theories that should be addressed when needed in the therapeutic setting. It also allows counselors to apply many different interventions that build on people’s inner strrenghts and allow for an ultimate change that help in advocating for clients and supports healthy human development. As counselors, we want to be able to assist our clients in as many ways as we can, even if comes to the point of needing to refer them to another professional. With the community counseling model, counselors will be able to advocate and help clients to the best of their abilities.

/in /by adminStudy Strategy Writing GuideRationale & Hypotheses (65 points)
1. Briefly state the study strategy that you are testing in this proposed experiment (as
indicated by “Study Strategy†above) and explain which aspect(s) of the study
strategy you are interested in studying. State the question(s) that you will be
specifically addressing in this proposal, and briefly describe your design type
(between vs. within-subject).
Explain how your proposed experiment is a logical test of this study strategy; that
is, how do your research question(s) logically relate to the suggested study
strategy? Finally, what will your experiment clarify about this piece of advice? In
other words, what are the larger implications of studying your specific question(s)?
Your answer should:
• Explicitly state the study strategy you are testing; explain which aspect of the
2.
strategy you are examining (e.g., is this an exact test or an extension?); and
clearly indicate the 1) design, and 2) specific research question(s) you aim to
address through the proposed experiment.
Explain how your specific research question(s) logically stems from the assigned
study advice. In other words, how does your study come out of/is inspired by this
suggested study strategy? How did you get from the basic strategy to your
specific research question(s)?
Indicate what the results of your project could add to general understanding of the
study advice. For example, in examining the advice to “study in groups†by looking
at different group sizes versus studying alone, the experiment could help to clarify
whether there is an optimal group size for learning (e.g., compared to studying
alone, studying in a group of 2 is more effective and studying in a group of 3 is even
more effective, while increases in group size beyond 3 becomes less effective). Such
a result would allow a more specific recommendation for the benefits of group
study: namely, that one should study in small groups of 2 or 3 but avoid large study
groups.
Name the independent variable that you are proposing to manipulate and provide
an operational definition of this variable. Describe the three different levels of the IV
and explain the ways in which each level differs. Finally, provide an example of the IV
manipulation.
In your answer:
3
The IV construct and three levels/conditions should be appropriately
named, and their operational definitions should clearly indicate how they
are to be manipulated.
An example of the IV manipulation should be included. In other words, what
will the IV manipulation look like to participants?
3. Name the dependent variable that you plan to measure. Further provide an
operational definition of this DV and indicate on what type of scale its values will
lay (e.g., interval vs. ratio). Finally, provide an example of the DV measurement.
In your answer:
The DV should be appropriately named, and its operational definition should
clearly indicate how it would be measured. The type of scale (interval or ratio
only) on which your measure of the DV lies must also be stated.
An example of the DV manipulation should be included. In other words, what
will the DV manipulation look like to participants?
4. What are the hypotheses that you want to test involving this independent variable?
How do you think your DV will change as per the different levels of your IV?
Remember to include significance and directionality, and address all three levels of
your IV.
In your answer:
The various hypotheses you want to test should clearly state the causal relationshipbetween the IV and DV that you expect to observe. You should indicate whichconditions/levels will significantly differ from each other (e.g., “We expectsignificantly better learning when studying in a group of 3 people versus a group of 2people or a group of 4 people, but no significant differences in learningbetween groups of 2 and 4 people.â€) You should follow the format of hypotheses
learned, including both significance and directionality in hypothesis statements.
5. Provide a rationale for your hypotheses. Why are you making these predictions?
What logic prompts you to make each of the hypotheses you listed above? Why
do you think each level will differ (or not) from one another?
In your answer:
You should provide logical reasons for your predictions. You do not need to
provide outside citations, but you should clearly explain why you think one
condition/level will differ from another.
Your logic should rely on general knowledge or experience (e.g., saying that the
brain shows different patterns of activation when learning with peers than
learning alone is not common knowledge and would require a citation)

Guiding questions include: Why are you making these predictions? What logicprompts you to make each of the hypotheses you listed above? Why do you think
each level will differ (or not) from one another (remember to provide the
rationale for each difference you expect to observe)?

TITLE: Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and Issues 7th Edition AUTHOR: Martin, GusPUBLISHER: Sage PublicationsDATE: 2020ISBN: 978-1544375861
Instructor response post
Could you explain why you would consider the Battle of Algiers as set in the New Left wave beside the fact that it takes place in the 1960s?
Student post #1 F
The ideology of the FLN was mainly Islam fundamentalist, as they wanted to impose Islamic principles on society. We see at the beginning of the film as they outlaw prostitution, drugs, and alcohol in their society and enforce it with acts of violence. The group was also extremely anti-colonialist, as they waged a multi-year war with France in order to oust the French from governmental power in Algeria. Based on the ideology and goals of the group, I would argue that the Battle of Algiers is set at the end of the second wave of the four waves of modern terrorism. The second wave was characterized by anticolonialism and lasted between the 1920s and 1960s (Rapport, 2002). I would argue that it fell towards the end of the second wave as it had a religious fundamentalist element associated with it, which is a key characteristic of the following third and fourth waves.
The FLN’s ideology and goals shaped their tactics and targets, as they carried out escalating acts of violence on French police officers and government officials with stabbings, shootings, and bombings. This later escalated to the bombing and killing of dozens of French citizens. As we have seen and discussed elsewhere in the course, they wanted to draw international attention to their grievances with acts of violence and mass killings that had a high killed body count. As such, the majority of their operations remained largely urban, as it allowed them to maximize hit and run tactics. Urban environments gave them not only speed but also locations to hide in after they carried out an attack (Derradji, 2015). France reacted to these acts of violence with escalating force and by placing more invasive security measures on the entire Algerian population. Roadblocks, curfews, and other physical barricades were placed to try to control and monitor people’s movement, at the cost of their convenience.
The portrayed “bad guys†in this movie are the French military and law enforcement. In response to the terrorist attacks, France cracked down with more and more security measures on the Algerian population in order to try and weed out the terrorists. However, the movie does not hesitate in showing the violence the terrorists inflict on French civilians and the military. Civilians are inevitably caught in the crossfire from both sides, and the terrorists do target French civilians with intentional bombings. I think the key takeaway we have from this film is that exhaustive security measures are not the end-all solution to terrorism in a given area. As we saw in the movie, the more security measures the French government put in place, the bolder the terrorist became, and the more sympathetic the general population became to the terrorists’ cause. Instead of relying solely on invasive and brutal security measures and actions, the defenders must also get buy-in from the population that they are trying to protect. In this case, this was obviously very difficult for the French government to do, as they were in control of the area due to their previous colonial expansion era. As such, it would have been very difficult to convince the ruled population that French rule over them was better than their own run government. The issue of relying on security measures and brutal crackdowns was that it drove the general population to support the terrorists’ cause.

solved Visit a museum or art gallery before the end of
/in /by adminVisit a museum or art gallery before the end of Week 9, and complete Option 1: Visit a Museum. If you are unable to get to a museum or gallery within your area, complete Option 2: Create and Curate Your Own Art Museum as an alternative assignment (see for both options below). The museum or gallery you visit (Option 1) or create (Option 2) should contain art or artifacts from the time period you are studying in this course.Option 1: Visit a MuseumWrite a 2–3 page report of 500–750 words that describes your experience. • Visit a museum or gallery near you. Select a minimum of 5–10 works of art by 5–10 different artists from different time periods discussed in the text, from the 18th century to modern times. • Clearly identify the location, date attended, and your initial reaction upon arriving at the museum or gallery. • Provide a description and summary of at least 5–10 works of art by 5–10 different artists. • Provide a photograph of each selected piece if the venue allows it. (Some museums strictly prohibit photography.) • Explain your initial reaction to the artwork you selected and explain why you chose each piece. • Describe the role of museum founder and curator. • Use the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine but not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text.Here are some tips about visiting a museum in person: • It makes sense to approach a museum the way a seasoned traveler approaches visiting a city for the first time. Find out what museums are accessible to you and have exhibits that intrigue you. • Find out what sort of exhibitions are currently housed in the museum you select. When you go, start with the exhibits that interest you or, if there is a traveling exhibition, look at that first. Then later, if you have time, you can check out other exhibits. • Keep in mind that the quality of your experience is not measured by the amount of time you spend in the galleries or the number of works of art that you see. • Your goal is to find 5–10 works of art by 5–10 different artists who intrigue you, and then consider those works in leisurely contemplation. Most museums have benches where you can sit and study a particular piece. Take notes while you are there.Option 2: Create and Curate Your Own Art MuseumThis is an alternative option to visiting a museum or art gallery. For this option, select and curate 5–10 works of art to include in your own art museum. Use your textbook and online sources to help you find these works of art. A good resource for this assignment is the Google Arts and Culture website from the Google Cultural Institute. Here you can immerse yourself in cultural experiences across art, history and wonders of the world—from more than a thousand museums across 70 countries.Write a 2–3 page report of 500–750 words that describes your experience. • Select a minimum of 5–10 works of art by 5–10 different artists from different time periods discussed in the text, from the 18th century to modern times. • Clearly identify the location of the museum and your initial reaction when exploring the artwork in the online museum or gallery. • Provide a description and summary of at least 5–10 works of art by 5–10 different artists. • Include a screenshot of each piece. • Explain your initial reaction to the artwork you selected and explain why you chose each piece. • Describe the role of museum founder and curator. • Use the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine but not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text.Note: The same rubric will be used for both options. In one section of the rubric, you are graded on your discussion of the role of the founder and curator of the museum. For Option 1, you will likely find this information on the museum website or in museum materials. For Option 2, the roles of museum founder and curator are held by you.Additional Requirements • This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. • Review the rubric to see how your assignment will be graded on answer quality, logic and organization of the paper, and language and writing skills.The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:• Describe historical works of art, including their displays and locations.

During my time in the medical field, I have had the opportunity to work alongside surgeons in the OR as well as with interventional radiologists; most of which have all been positive experiences. There have, however, been a few that have not been pleasant to deal with. I have personally witnessed many instances from a small number of surgeons who have resorted to screaming, cursing, making derogatory comments to staff, and even throwing instruments across the OR suite. I agree with Hodge that a large part of the cause may be that physicians perceive their actions permissible towards those of a ‘lower status’ (Hodge Jr., 2020, p. 6), however, I would argue that the root of almost all disruptive behavior stems from stress. While no excuse for some of the poor behavior, I can sympathize with physicians and the amount of stress they may be under during complicated cases such as neuro, CV, or interventional cases. For the benefit of patient care, during times when a physician lashes out at team members, it is important to try and remain calm, professional, and deescalate the situation if possible. I also think that if a team member can recognize their own value and importance in their job role, it helps to keep one calm during a stressful situation.
During the continuing stress of the COVID pandemic, stress is at an all-time high, not only for physicians, but for nursing and ancillary staff as well; many facilities are still operating with limited staff, limited access to basic needs and equipment, are experiencing crisis fatigue, anxiety over a possible second surge, and safety issues in the workplace (Sara Berg, 2020). Some recommendations that may be beneficial to all to reduce stress include, making a mindful transition when leaving work, learning something new, getting proper exercise, eating well, and getting enough sleep (American Association for Physician Leadership, n.d.).
We are currently dealing with a disruptive physician at one of our FSEDs. We have had many verbal complaints about this physician from nursing and radiology staff in the past, but it was difficult to get anyone to put their complaints down in writing. I think often, those who are required to work alongside a disruptive physician are hesitant to make any written complaints about poor behavior out of fear of retaliation, should administrative staff not take the situation seriously. The physician became unruly, screaming obscenities and degrading our staff members in front of patients, and other staff; we even had our night radiologist witness this outburst over the phone. This physician has had a history of this type of behavior, and often views others, even other physicians, as being of a ‘lower status’. Questioning his orders, or suggesting alternatives, such as a CT exam that would provide more beneficial information with lower radiation exposure to the patient, often resulted in an outburst. Most of our staff, while bringing verbal complaints, chose to silently suffer the abuse out of fear of retaliation. A written complaint and full account of the previously stated outburst was finally submitted by a staff member, stating the physician was creating a hostile work environment, unsafe for staff and patients, and ultimately stating that the staff member did not feel safe and would refuse to work with the physician. The written statement was submitted to our director and a variance (ERS) report was made and reviewed by the administration team and head physician of the group. Our CEO personally stated that this type of behavior would not be tolerated and that the physician would no longer be allowed to work at that location. The CEO stated that if and staff members had spoken to or acted in the same manner, they would have been immediately terminated. and while he had no power to fire this physician, he recommended to the head physician that he dismiss him from the group. Shortly after this conversation, the disruptive physician decided to resign from the group.
The typical process would entail bringing the physician in question in front of a committee to review his/her actions and might result in a warning or temporary suspension of privileges. However, since there had been a written complaint of creating a hostile work environment and support from the FSED director and manager and radiology director and manager, this situation was elevated quickly to the administration team’s actions.
