Buoyed by the media coverage and customer interest, Nanda’s business idea was expected to be successful in the market. However, Nanda Home failed to maintain its reputation as sales started to decline from about 2.2 million in 2007 to less than 1 million in 2009. The reason for this failure may be explained by six branding goals. Based on awareness, retailers refused to display Clocky with demonstration to show potential customers how the clock works and its unique feature to move around. Also, some retailers only sold Clocky during special occasion like Christmas. This decreased the product to reach wider number of buyers. Based on image, Clocky did not have a clear target audience. The approach for Nanda to market to customers of all ages and gender in fun and need markets making it interpreted as a ‘fun’ fad retailers put out for purchase as the market is too large for Nanda to target a specific segment of customers to buy the products. Based on functions, Clocky is considered for its anthropomorphic exterior and ‘playful nature’ for people to buy as a gift at Christmas.

Celtic Gaul and Capetian/Valois France were similar in many different ways. Both, for the most part, occupied a large part of modern-day France. Both Gaul and the Capetians/Valois were very involved with foreign relations and were actively involved in invasions: both as invaders and invades. In this research paper, the political, social, economic and religious aspects of life in Celtic Gaul and Capetian/Valois France will be examined. In addition, notable leaders in each system will be examined, including many of the kings of the Capetian Dynasty and the House of Valois. The first half of this paper will cover the life and times of Celtic Gaul, which will include topics such as the Druids, civitates, the Romans and the religious aspects of the period. The second half of this paper will include the lineage and dynasties of the Capetian and Valois dynasties, as well as topics such as feudalism, the economics of the ruling classes, Catholicism, the Pope, and the church as a whole.
Based on the six branding goals, how did Nanda fail to sustain Clocky’s appeal? How might Nanda successfully brand her company and one of her products in a new market?
In act five, scene one, Theseus gives a speech to Hippolyta regarding the foolish dreams Helena, Lysander, Demetrius, and Hermia just had. Before this, Helena, Lysander, Demetrius and Hermia all wake up cloudy and confused about being anointed by the flower and falling in love with the wrong person. Lysander and Hermia recount their plan of escaping and the forest as well as Helena who chose to follow them into the forest. Egeus refuses to allow Lysander’s love for Hermia, but Theseus rules against Egeus allowing Lysander and Hermia and Demetrius and Helena to marry. Before the wedding Theseus talks to Hippolyta about the confusing stories of these dazed lovers. Theseus believes these people have overactive imaginations and dismisses what they say as foolish.
Together with his colleagues at the University of Washington, Jeffrey R. Harris developed and published an article regarding the most appropriate means for disseminating evidence-based practices. The framework was geared towards spreading evidence-based practices that focus on health promotion. The authors argued that the basis for widespread adoption of evidence-based health promotion practices is mainly dependent on developing and evaluating effective dissemination approaches. Consequently, they created a practical framework based on existing literature on dissemination and their experiences in conducting such practices. The framework is commonly known as the Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC) framework, which was developed by the Prevention Research Center at the University of Washington and funded by the Center for Disease Control. CDC funded the development of this evidence-based health promotion framework to carry out research on community-based prevention and management of chronic diseases.
In Canada, child protection is basically a responsibility of the provincial and territorial governments through various activities such as investigating child protection concerns. As part of their responsibilities to promote child protection, the provincial and territorial governments may place children or young under care. This involves placing them in varying living arrangements such as group home, foster home, independent living program, receiving homes, and relatives’ home. Placing children in foster care seems to be the most common way used by various governments in Canada to address child protection concerns. However, this type of care has had significant challenges in the recent past, particularly in light of children or young people who age out of foster care. These challenges are attributed to the lack of legislative and policy initiatives taken to address children who age out of foster care in Canada. As a result of lack of such provisions, these children end up having lack of further education as they are forced into adulthood. In some cases, children who age out of foster care in Canada get involved in criminal activities. As the number of children who age out foster care increases, Canadian government should enact appropriate measures, especially legislation and policy to promote the well-being of these children as they grow into adulthood.
When the Christian church was first founded many question arose from its formation. What was this new organization and what was to become of it?
