How do I market a product and approach a manufacturer to make it?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I have a business idea/product, and a local business picked out that would be able to manufacture it. I am in the process of copyrighting what would be inscribed on it. My problem is I don’t know how to approach this company to produce what I have in mind or how to market it to gift shops across the country. I would appreciate any answers and help.

To market to gift shops, you can take a good photo and send out a sales flyer. You can also market by email. I would be willing to help you as a consultant by implementing a marketing program.

Just call the company you want to make the product. You are the customer and they want your business.

Equal Exchange, Organic Valley and REI are three.

An ANPR system takes two images of each passing car -one on the car’s approach and one as it departs.?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Each image is 710 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. Each pixel is stored using one byte. On average, four cars pass per minute. If each uncompressed image is sent back to the control centre for processing, which option is closest to the average rate of data transfer?

so i’m thinking 8 images per minute (i.e. 4 cars @ 2 images/car). each image is 213000 pixels so that’s a total of 1704000 pixels or bytes.

well…now i’m out of numbers. just guessing for the 8 images in a minute the data transfer rate is 1.7gig bytes.

Good luck.

Object oriented software is rapidly displacing conventional software development such as structure approach.?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

yet like all technologies. What critics have to say about oo ang why they believe care must be taken when applying the oo paradigm.

OO *is* conventional software development, and has been for a number of years now. I don’t know of any new commercial software being developed that doesn’t adhere to OO principles (except some experimental or prototypal software whose very purpose is to employ a technique other than OO) – only legacy maintenance like mainframe work still hanging around doesn’t implement OO, and even then sometimes OO principles are still used to an extent when planning new changes to the software.

OO allows for far superior extensibility, maintenance and modification to software; shorter development times and much more complex software with fewer development resources. All this comes at the expense of efficiency. Software designed with OO is going to hog more memory and take more CPU cycles to accomplish tasks. But in the modern computing age, storage and processor speeds are no longer concerns when writing software. So, under typical circumstances, there is essentially no reason not to employ OO.

Start up in home business and need help on sales approach?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I am starting up a newsletter business in home and I know I would like to target small business and churches. Is it better to send them a sell letter first or an advertisment flier or would it be more affective with in person stop?

Depending on your approach, I would suggest doing both. If you are familiar with churches in your area, I would stop in with a professional brochure or brief synopsis on what it is you are trying to accomplish and arrange a follow up meeting with the decision maker in the church. The in-person stop allows you to create a relationship and relationships create opportunities.

Best wishes.

How do I approach a credit card company to pay off a bad debt?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I owe Discover Card some money and have been charged off for a while now. I have some extra money now and want to pay off the debt. I’d like to try to at least have it look better on my credit report. What’s the best way to approach this? Do I have any leverage to negotiate?

I’m not really sure, but perhaps this website could help. I’ve looked up articles here that give advice on credit and debt. Look at the finance category. Good luck!

Do believe there is a G-d but science has not figured out the means to prove it?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

The debate over who is G-d or if there is a G-d is an age old argument. Instead of proving or disproving if there is a G-d there is an alternative hypothesis.

Do you believe G-d exists but science has not discovered the means to understand or to prove it?
Or do you feel this alternative hypothesis is based of erroneous philosophy?

NOTE: This is not insult to either side but approach the question of G-d from a philosophical perspective rather than just faith based. Thank you for your time and answers.

it depend on how you define god

if you define it the way most religion do, as an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent force that personally intervenes in the universe…no i don’t believe that god exists

but

if you define god as most world renowned scientists do, such as sagan and hawking, that god is an energy that is in everything…yes i think that might be a worthwhile pursuit

Several other clients in the above mentioned music therapy group approach the music therapist about learning?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

to play various instruments such as the drum set, electric keyboard and electric guitar so that they can form a band. The clients set their sights on writing their own music to perform in the facility’s yearly talent show. This is an example of which Unkefer taxonomy type?
a.Music performing
b.Music relaxation
c.Music combined with other expressive arts
d.Music and recreation
e.Music and movement

Active music-making provides a form of therapy for the Alzheimer’s patient which may stimulate cognitive activities such that areas subject to progressive failure are maintained. Anecdotal evidence suggests that quality of life of Alzheimer’s patients is significantly improved with music therapy, accompanied by the overall social benefits of acceptance and sense of belonging gained by communicating with others. Music therapy, when based on clear treatment objectives can reduce the individual prescription of tranquilizing medication, reduce the use of hypnotics and help overall goals of rehabilitation.

Mood improvement and self-expression, the stimulation of speech and organisation of mental processes; and sensory stimulation and motor integration are promoted.

Given that the rate of deterioration in Alzheimer’s disease is not predictable, a series of single case experimental designs would generate valuable empirical data concerning treatment outcome and promote basic research into the timing functions required for the co-ordination of cognition, physiology, motor ability and the integrity of behaviour.

Take care as always

I cant seem to find anything on cognitive or physiological approaches to why we dream.?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I have covered Sigmund Freud – which i think is a psychodynamic approach ? But i cant seem to find any psychologists who have come up with a Cognitive theory or a physiological theory on dreaming. Wondered if anyone could give some tips of where to look etc.
Why we dream is also studied by psychologists. This is for an essay and i just cant seem to find the information i need on the coginititve and physiological explantions of dreaming.

Do you think it might be because there is no way to know for sure why we do? There is only interpretation’s of what they mean. So how about what psyhics say? According to Sylvia Brown it is actually our soul out checking other things out. To help further this she talks about how people who wake up with a sudden kind of jump it’s because their soul was reentering as they woke. I had that happen to me one night when I had to get up to go to the bathroom real badly. As I opened my eyes I had the feeling of like the last foot of it slipping back into my body. It was weird but cool. At least I had some understanding as to what it could really have been.
