One of the complaints from users was that it was unreliable. The new changes allow Twitter to make money, which then allows for the company to make necessary changes to make it better for all users. Twitter should focus on heightened market orientation and creating superior customer service to become more sustainable in the twenty-first century. It is essential for the company because it has competition that is changing things up to improve customer service. If Twitter does not change things, it will eventually become stale to the customer. The changes will keep it relevant and exciting for consumers. Another strategy that Twitter should about is positioning build on marketing assets, capabilities, and competencies. Twitter needs to find partners who will help them reach new markets.Businesses need to stay on top of marketing trends to stay competitive. One Of the most important trends is exceptional customer service. Customers want to be heard and appreciated. Customers can be fickle, and if they are unhappy and feel like they are not getting the service they deserve, they will seek out an alternative. Going above and beyond is one of the easiest ways to keep a customer returning. Another marketing trend is the use of artificial intelligence. This is helpful for when a customer needs to contact the business. Using this will ensure there is no wait time for the customer. Of course, artificial intelligence has some problems, such as when it cannot help the customer. Artificial intelligence is continuing to get more advanced and, in the future, will dominate the thinking ability of a human (Chintalapati & Pandey, 2021). However, in the meantime, if a customer is not successful with automated help, they need to be able to reach a human. Customers who do not have an easy time reaching a real person may become unsatisfied, and the business runs the risk of losing the customer.Reference:Chintalapati, S., & Pandey, S. K. (2021).

Information is collected on those tweeting and those reading the tweets.What fundamentals of strategy can Twitter adopt to become more sustainable in the twenty-first century?Twitter has many strategies it can use to become more sustainable. They include:Adaptive and flexible leadershipHave an authentic purposeBecome a more powerful brandIncrease collaboration and partnershipsIncrease customer retentionIncrease sales.What marketing trends do you think will be most important for any business to take note of to stay competitive?According to Ghosh (2020), one of the most common current marketing trends is the use of mobile marketing. It is a digital, multi-channel marketing strategy specifically aimed toward all multi-media users including any multi-media devices and apps (Ghosh, 2020). Almost anything one can do on a computer can now be done on any mobile device. Most internet users have a smartphone and internet access. Effectively using mobile advertising is critical for any business to stay competitive. It seems all social media has local advertising available along with major corporate advertising, as well. This trend can make or break a business or company. How a company chooses to embrace mobile marketing is paramount to its success.Ghosh, D. (2020).

In what ways was Bonnie and Clyde controversial during this time, and how did the French New Wave influence Hollywood cinema?

Film Introduction:At the time when Bonnie and Clyde was released, the golden-age of Hollywood, or what most people would have called Classical cinema, was over-prevalent in the United States. After hearing the great critical success that Jean luc Godard reached with Breathless, American film production companies wanted to reap in on that success. They originally wanted to hire a French director to direct Bonnie and Clyde to ensure that it would recreate the same appeal that other successful French New Wave films have reached, but in the end went with Arthur Penn. Although American, he used the same strategies and visual storytelling from the French New Wave, and Bonnie and Clyde was a huge commercial and financial success despite its controversies! It was from here that the expression of cinema was expanded to what we are most familiar with today.Film Information:Film: Bonnie and ClydeRegion: USAYear: 1967Director: Arthur PennFilm Screening:link is attached https://digitalcampus.swankmp.net/fresnocity349172/watch/4192682B09E4CC05?referrer=directReadings: are uploaded/attached plz follow assignmenthttps://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170814-how-bonnie-and-clydes-final-scene-changed-hollywoodhttp://www.classicartfilms.com/academicpapers/How-French-New-Wave-Movement-and-Directors-Godard-and-Truffaut-Influenced-New-American-Cinema.pdfAssignment – Short Essay:Heavily influenced by the commercial and critical success of French New Wave films, Bonnie and Clyde ushered in a new wave of American cinema.

As fast food workers around the country protest for higher wages, we learn that McDonald’s offers advice to help them live on the wages they make which, while not technically bupkes, do amount to a paycheck you can pretty much have the driver cash for you on the bus ride home. In December, for example, Bloomberg profiled a Chicago man who, after 20 years with the burger giant, earns $8.25 an hour — and doesn’t get 40 hours a week. This, as McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson pulled down, according to the Wall Street Journal, a compensation package worth $13.8 million last year.Anyway, Mickey D’s isn’t blind to the difficulties of french fry makers and drive-through order takers getting by on not quite bupkes. It partnered with Visa on a website — http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/mcdonalds/budgetJournal/budgetJournal.php — which includes a sample budget showing how to live reasonably well on next to nothing.The impossibility of doing so has been attested to by everyone from writer Barbara Ehrenreich in her book Nickel and Dimed to noted obstetrician Cliff Huxtable, in that episode of The Cosby Show where he uses Monopoly money to teach young Theo the value of a good income. It has also been attested to by the people trying to do it. But all that notwithstanding, the McBudget insists it can be done.It envisions monthly take-home pay of $2,060 from working two (!) jobs. Out of that, you pay $600 for rent, $150 for a car note, $100 for insurance (home and auto), $100 for cable and phone, $90 for the electric bill, $20 for health insurance, etc. You save $100 a month and have $750 to play with — if, by “play,” you mean pay for clothing, child care and water. Also, gasoline, maintenance and repair for the 1997 junkmobile you’re able to buy for $150 a month. Oh, and food. Can’t forget food.As you might expect, the McBudget is mildly controversial. Washington Post blogger Timothy B. Lee called the figures “realistic” and praised McDonald’s for “practical” advice. This seems to be a minority opinion. ThinkProgress, the left-leaning website, called the budget “laughably inaccurate.” Stephen Colbert skewered the company, saying a $20 health insurance premium will buy you “a tourniquet, a bottle of Night Train and a bite stick.” In the Wall Street Journal, columnist Al Lewis suggested that McDonald’s $13.8 million man show us how it’s done by volunteering to live on the McBudget.The most vexing thing about that budget is its condescension. Take it from this welfare mother’s son: If there’s one thing poor people do not need, it is lessons in how to be poor. To the contrary, you will never meet anyone who can wring more value from a dollar.We’re talking every trick of layaway and two-day-old bread, coupon clipping and off brand buying, Goodwill shopping, Peter robbing, Paul paying and plain old going without. You ever hear of a jam sandwich? That’s when you “jam” two pieces of bread together and call it lunch. Heck, if you handed the federal budget over to a couple welfare mothers, we’d be in surplus by December.And McDonald’s has lessons for the poor?Look, there are many reasons people wind up in poverty. Sometimes they make bad life choices — they drop out of school without salable skills, or they become teen parents. Often, it falls on them from the sky in the form of illness, injury, addiction or financial reversal.However they got into poverty they all need — and deserve — the same things: a way to work their way out and to be accorded a little dignity while they do so. The former comes with paying a living wage, the latter by treating people with respect and not presuming to teach them what they could teach you. McDonald’s fails on both counts.The McBudget is a McInsult.This story was originally published July 27, 2013 7:00 PM.

What do you think the U.S. Forest Service’sobjectives should be in this decision?

PRESCRIBED FIREUsing fire in forest management sounds contradictory.Prescribed fire, however, is an important tool forforesters, and a recent article describes how decisionanalysis is used to decide when, where, and what toburn. In one example, a number of areas in the TahoeNational Forest in California had been logged and werebeing prepared for replanting. Preparation includedprescribed burning, and two possible treatments wereavailable: burning the slash as it lay on the ground, or“yarding of unmerchantable material”(YUM) prior toburning. The latter treatment involves using heavyequipment to pile the slash. YUM reduces the difficultyof controlling the burn but costs an additional $100 peracre. In deciding between the two treatments, twouncertainties were considered critical. The first washow the fire would behave under each scenario. Forexample, the fire could be fully successful, problemscould arise which could be controlled eventually, or thefire could escape, entailing considerable losses. Second, if problems developed, they could result in high, low,or medium costs.Question 1. What do you think the U.S. Forest Service’sobjectives should be in this decision?In the article, only one objective was considered,minimizing cost (including costs associated withan escaped fire and the damage it might do). Do you think this is a reasonable criterion for theForest Service to use? Why or why not?Question 2. Develop an influence diagram and a decisiontree using PrecisionTree for this situation. Whatroles do the two diagrams play in helping tounderstand and communicate the structure ofthis decision?Note:1. Your Case Study should be 2 – 3 pages in length and written in APA style format.2. Separate title and reference page (minimum of 2 references)3. Double spaced with 12-point Times Roman font.
