The purpose of this assignment is to create marketing communications recommendations for a marketing campaign
There are three steps to this assignment. Review all three steps before you begin.  
Step 1: Refer to the same product/service used for Week    4 assignments.  

The same product/service used for Weeks 4 will be the subject of this assignment.    
 Follow the specific instructions outlined in Steps 2 and 3 below.  

Step 2: Complete each of the following tasks as they relate to your product/service. Note the research and references requirement.  
I. The Marketing Message
Your client was persuaded that your new segment is a promising one to approach. The client has requested your firm to create a single message that can reflect your client’s brand value proposition and positioning. This message much reach consumers to create awareness and generate need with those potential customers. 

Define the Segment. Refer to your Market Segmentation Memo from Week 4.  

Describe the segment you recommended for this client in Week 4. You may refine the segment based on any feedback you have received. Present here the revised or updated segment description.  
Discuss the purpose of your client’s marketing communication with this segment.  
Define the Value Proposition. Refer to the value proposition from your Value Proposition Memo from Week 2.  
Refer to the value proposition you identified for this client in Week 2. Adapt that value proposition to your new segment. You also may refine the value proposition based on any feedback you have received. Present here the new value proposition that you will use to create the message for the new segment. 

Create the message.  

Create and provide here an example message that would be appropriate to resonate with your new market segment for the client’s purpose.  See the “Integrated Marketing Strategies” learning resource. Use words and/or images. 

II. The Marketing Communication Tools  

Choose the tools. You have determined the message. Now, you’ll consider the marketing communication mix. What are the best marketing communications or promotional tools for this message?  
Consider the promotion tools described in the “Tools of Promotion” learning resource. Begin by identifying for yourself which ones are not appropriate and why. Present two tools you recommend for communicating this message to this target segment. Choose and discuss at least two different tools described in the “Tools of Promotion” learning resource. Your choices must reflect the characteristics of your target segment. 

For the two promotional tools you recommended in this section, add additional detail. For example, if “events and experiences” was one of your recommendations, provide an example of an event that would be appropriate to communicate the message to your target segment.   

III. Recommendations (Summary and Conclusion) 

The right message and medium for the segment. What is the message and the medium you recommend to reach this new target consumer segment?  
The segment: Summarize the new segment you created. You are reminding the client of the goal. 
The message: Present the message appropriate for the segment. Use words and/or images. 

The promotion tool: Present at least two different promotional tools from the major modes of communication, along with an example for each.  

How to integrate the marketing communications? Make some specific recommendations for your client to best integrate the message and the marketing communications you have recommended. 

solved In order to answer the questions on the assignments you

In order to answer the questions on the assignments you will need to listen to the recordings and refer to other subjects and chapters that we have studied. Jot notes as the song plays.  When you write up your final draft please try to keep the answers short, succinct, and to the point.  Many of the questions ask you to draw your own conclusions based on your observations as you listen to the music. Base your answers on your own listening and critical thinking.
Many of you may have these songs. If not, you can find them on the internet. In many cases you will be unable to answer the questions if you only listen to the music once. You may have to listen several times and read information about the music and the artist.
Occasionally you will be able to find the answers (or at least some good hints!) in your research. In these cases, do not quote the text in your answer ONLY. You cannot get an “A” grade for quoting the text – your grade will be lowered for including extensive uncredited quotations, especially if your answer does not demonstrate your own understanding of the themes and the music. At a minimum you must restate the concepts in your own words, and pull quotes for support. Please reference the readings in your essay to substantiate your arguments. You may also pull from the videos and lyrics to weave them into your essay to support your claims.

I’m working on a nursing multi-part question and need an explanation to help me understand better.

Post #1 In 1959 When Madeleine Leininger coined the phrase “nurse-anthropologist’, to define the comparison between nursing and anthropology by inking their philosophical and theoretical similarities, it was a brainstorm idea. (Leininger, 1970). She followed it up with a book focusing on the diverse cultures and subcultures in the world and how that influences health and illness beliefs, values, and practices in order to know how to give adequate nursing care to a culture-specific population. (Leininger, 1991, p. 491) Within each culture you will find a special set of unique values, beliefs, and patters of behaviors within the members that share that culture, within those cultures you will find subcultures who do or do not follow all the values, beliefs, and particular patterns of behaviors in their families or communities. (Nies & McEwen, 2019, p. 600). Culture is one of the social determinants of health in today’s society. Our culture gives us a basis for, trust of the unknown, can a women talk to a man, our religious/faith values, do we believe in industrial health care, do I drive, my food intake and kinds of food, do I talk to my neighbors, do I have friends, alcohol, and tobacco use, do I watch TV or have social media just to name a few. By taking a few minutes and understanding the diverse cultures in your community, you will understand better how to serve that community’s needs, how you approach education, for example. Will you storm the neighborhood with leaflets, talk on local radio shows, go to schools/church’s, will the community be able to get to the local resources available, will they except any help outside their culture at all? Our time and resources are limited, knowing how to best use those resources is vital to the success of community/public health nurses anywhere. Leininger M.M. Nursing and anthropology: two worlds to blend. New York: Wiley; 1970. Leininger M.M. Culture, care, diversity, and universality: a theory of nursing.

Post#2 For nurses to better understand the patient and assess the patient’s needs requires understanding the social determinants of health.” These include, but are not limited to, an understanding of the more complex and less apparent drivers of health such as neighborhood safety, discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and job security” (Thornton & Persaud, 2018). SDOH has an impact on people’s health, and the goal is to reduce health inequality. Resources help improve the quality of life by having access to healthcare, safe housing, free education, food, and an environment free of toxins. Helpful resources include information about a food bank that produces healthy food or connecting with an agency that offers transportation to and from the doctor’s office at little to no cost. Nurses need to assess the patient’s social factors and advocate SDOH interventions. At my place of employment, BCMA, an EMR tool used, questions the patient’s insecurities. Should a patient admit to homelessness or feel unsafe, the nurse notifies social work during the interview process. The social worker evaluates the patient and helps provide safe housing and food.

According to Bullock et al. (2017), “tens of billions of dollars have already been spent by DHS and other agencies with related missions on developing and exploiting technologies for use in the fight against terrorism and, on occasion, for emergency management in general” (p. 657). However, not all the technology developed has been successful. Read Chapter 12 in Bullock et al. Research and Development Efforts.

Respond to the following:

Question 1: Is federal funding better spent on all-hazards first-responder preparedness, or on research and development (R&D) efforts to find new emergency management solutions for terrorist hazards?
Question 2: Based on the Fiscal Year 2015 funding levels for both these activities (as listed throughout Chapter 12), would the American public be better served by transferring funding from R&D to first-responder preparedness, or vice versa? Provide specific examples to support your answer.

Part 2
Surprisingly, Hurricane Sandy became a “perfect storm.” This storm ended up as a major event. It was responsible for 72 deaths and approximately 69 billion dollars in damage (National Weather Service, 2012). Hurricane Sandy falls right behind Hurricane Katrina with the amount of damage and devastation it caused. It truly tested the readiness of the Department of Homeland Security.
These websites provide an overview of the damage and recovery from Hurricane Sandy:

solved Choose just ONE of the questions below and answer it

Choose just ONE of the questions below and answer it in essay form. At the beginning of your essay, please include the question that you have chosen to answer for this. This essay should cover at least 1 single- spaced typewritten page with a 12 point, Times New Roman font. Essays that are just summaries of the course material will not do well. I want an organized, well-written, and clearly expressed essay led by your thesis position, made by your arguments, and supported by course content as evidence. (no other references except for course content).ESSAY QUESTIONSRead the questions carefully to figure out exactly what I am asking you to answer.Considering all those who could be affected, is it an overall benefit or detriment for the rights of everyone in the country for a court to be able to use the “exclusionary rule” and the “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine” to exclude illegally obtained evidence?In Lochner v. New York, Justice Peckham disagreed with the viewpoint of the New York State Legislature that a law regulating sanitary conditions and working hours for a bakery legitimately related to the safety or health of a community. Do you think that our Constitutional rights and liberties are better protected if a Court can substitute its policy judgment in place of a competing one made by a Legislature or if a Court restricts itself to deciding whether a law is expressly consistent with the Constitution? (You can use the Lochner case as an example in your essay, but you may use other cases as well.) In Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court required that a state law claiming to regulate public health and safety must be necessary and reasonable for it to survive a valid citizen claim that the law affected their Constitutional rights. However, not every Court uses those two limitations. When a Court does not use them, does it allow the concept of State Police Power to extend the reach of the Tenth Amendment too far? Do you agree with the majority in Kelo v. City of New London that the “public use” requirement from the “Takings” clause of the 5th Amendment can be properly satisfied if the government had a legitimate “public purpose” in using eminent domain to take the private property from one private citizen and give it to a private company to own? Should Copyright be considered as a right with a similarly high level of importance and protection as the fundamental rights expressly recognized in our Amendments rather than as an incentivized privilege that the government only grants for a limited time? One purpose of Trademark law is to protect consumers from confusion as to which company a product or service comes from. Therefore, is it an overall benefit or detriment to consumers when a very well-known brand name for a company or its product/service loses its legal status as a valid Trademark due to a finding of “Genericide” by a court?There are five pairs of words below. The first word is a brand name, and the second word is a product type. The legal strength of each brand name fits into one of the five different categories of the “distinctiveness spectrum” of Trademark. For this question you need to do 2 things: A) Name the spectrum category that you think applies to each brand name, B) Explain why the category that you choose for each name is appropriate based on the legal description of the category and level of protection that category gets.a) “Blanket” hamburgersb) “Sodium Chloride” seasoningc) “Illuminating” lampsd) “Flryzx” watchese) “Atlas” mattresses

Statement of Cash Flows Step by Step
Statement of Cash Flows
The five steps used to prepare the statement of cash flows by the indirect method are:

Step 1: Complete the cash flows from operating activities section using net income and adjusting for increases or decreases in current assets (other than cash) and current liabilities. Also, adjust for gains or losses on long-term assets and non-cash expenses such as depreciation expense.
Step 2: Complete the cash flows from investing activities section by reviewing the long-term assets section of the balance sheet.
Step 3: Complete the cash flows from financing activities section by reviewing the long-term liabilities and equity sections of the balance sheet.
Step 4: Compute the net increase or decrease in cash during the year. The change in cash is the key reconciling figure for the statement of cash flows and must match the change in cash reported on the comparative balance sheet.
Step 5: Prepare a separate schedule reporting any non-cash investing and financing activities.

PART ONE In the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.In this Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.To Prepare:Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources.Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system.Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples. Supported by at least three current, credible sources. Written clearly and concisely with no grammatical or spelling errors and fully adheres to current APA manual writing rules and style. PART TWO As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry. To Prepare:Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.Post at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified.

Your responses should include elements such as follow-up questions, a further exploration of topics from the initial post, or requests for further clarification or explanation on some points made.ALL citations and references needs to be APA 7th edition format. THANK YOU!Peer# 1I do believe consumer driven Healthcare plans (CDHPs) are here to stay. “Many healthcare stakeholders see CDHPs as products that create mutual benefits for payer organizations and consumers, because they hold health plans and consumers responsible for efficient use of healthcare services and spending” (Beaton, 2017). Consumers have a choice of high deductibles coupled with tax-advantaged personal health spending accounts (HSAs) to increase consumer accountability for their own health care spending. There is an opportunity for health savings accounts, flexible spending arrangements, health reimbursement, opportunity for employers to offer healthcare benefits, arrangements, and medical savings accounts all bring tax benefits along with them. “Lower premiums, or monthly payments, are the major advantage of CDHPs over traditional benefit plans. According to an analysis from the Health Care Cost Institute, people with CDHPs spent $540 less per year on health care than those with traditional plans” (Athem.com, 2018). There are some disadvantages to CDHPs is that there is a lot of out-of-pocket costs required each year if you use the plan frequently (Smith, 2017). With this type of high deductible expense plan you will have to constantly watching your spending.I do believe thr plan for the future is to continue to allow the consumer to have as much controll as possible when it comes to their healthcare plan and making decisions of what plans will better suite them and their family.Peer# 2Hello everyone, A consumer driven health plan (CDHP) is a health plan that provides information and incentives to encourage enrollees to make wise healthcare choices (Nowicki, 2015). A CDHP is a marriage of a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a payment account, such as a health savings account (Sazci, 2020). There are many pros and cons to consumer driven plans, as listed below.Pros:If the enrolled individuals are relatively healthy, they save moneyThose under these plans spend less on unnecessary care (Myth vs. Fact, 2008)Put the “power” in hands of those enrolled in the plan (Myth vs. Fact, 2008)Cons:25% lower rate of satisfaction compared to traditional employer-managed plans (Myth vs. Fact, 2008)These plans deter people from necessary care due to the high deductibles (Myth vs. Fact, 2008)Shift more costs to sicker individuals; favor the “wealthy and healthy” (Myth vs. Fact, 2008)I think that consumer driven plans will continue to grow in popularity in coming years. HDHP’s are the only plan type that has grown in terms of enrollment rates across the last decade (Sazci, 2020). Between 2010 and 2018, the number of people enrolled in consumer driven health plans tripled, and today around 30% of workers are covered by these plans (Sazci, 2020). Consumer driven health plans save money, and with the current economic status of the country, I believe that these plans are here to stay.
