Position Paper, Burger Planet

During the past decade there has been a rise in the consumer’s awareness and consciousness of diet and the need for healthier lifestyles. Caloric and fat intake has become a deciding factor in food choices, and due to the stigma of healthiness surrounding fast food consumption, the potential to negatively affect Burger Planet and its franchises is great.

Since its foundation in 1934, Burger Planet has served upwards of 52 billion customers throughout the world. Over the years, the Quick Service Restaurant Industry has become a staple in American society however, growing consumer awareness and a series of recent legislation threatens its place in society. Within the past three years some of the United States' most prominent cities such as New York and Los Angeles have passed strict laws regarding the issues of health in the Quick Service Restaurant industry with similar legislation in the process in several other states.

It is suggested that an implementation of a healthy alternative to Burger Planet's menu and image evaluation would be beneficial to the company as well as the consumer. The addition of Jayne Peterson and a newly added menu is a great start to the change. Her notoriety in the mass media is a benefit, and having her as a spokeswoman will put Burger Planet in a better light with consumer's who place health in high regard. Additionally, the newly added menu options add to the positive change. The new menu, which includes gourmet salads, fresh fruit and low-fat options, will draw in a new market of health conscious consumers, namely middle-aged women who previously did not consume fast food as highly.

It would also be beneficial to highlight Burger Planet's belief in healthy lifestyles for its customers. As Peterson said in a recent interview, "The company believes in encouraging customers to live healthier, active lifestyles."

Although the new menu is to be advertised please do not disregard the original menu that has aided Burger Planet in its growing success. Ensure that customers know that Burger Planet is simply improving its menu and not changing it, and not alienating our base customers who were crucial to success.

The fast food industry has had a problem with caloric intake. Soda for example is offered with most value meals. Although soda is not specifically addressed as a problem with Burger Planet, soda makes up a large part of the caloric intake from meals at restaurants.

Caroline Shugart USU Employee Wellness Coordinator said, “Soda has 15 teaspoons of sugar and 250 calories in a 20 ounce bottle.”

“Why have so much crap in drinks and why market it to kids, I think it’s unethical.”

If people stop drinking one soda a day that they would normally drink, Shugart said over the course of one year 91,250 calories and 50 pounds of sugar would no longer be taken into the body,

“That is 26 pounds of fat that could be lost in a year.” Shugart said.

According to an article from http://www.ehow.com/how_2146946_calculate-calories-needed-per-day.html, “Many people live by the 2,000 calorie a day diet, the truth is the number of calories you need to maintain your body weight will vary greatly depending on your activity level and current weight.” Although this is true, we can use 2,000 calories as a baseline when looking at caloric intake. According to http://www.fatcalories.com/, large fries from McDonalds contain 570 calories, a medium 380, and small 250. Depending on what hamburger is purchased in a meal deal, the calories range from 250 calories for a small hamburger, to 740 calories for a double quarter pound hamburger with cheese. So if a person ordered small fries, a hamburger and drank 20 oz. of soda, that person would consume more than 750 calories in from the smallest meal. Portion sizes are larger than they need to be as well. If a person ordered a quarter pound hamburger, with a large drink of soda and a large fry, the person would consume 1560 calories for one meal and that is without a refill on the soda. That only leaves 440 calories to consume for the rest of the day. If the meal was replaced by a chicken sandwich instead, the calories from chicken sandwiches range from 400 calories to 670 calories. If people eat out two times a day and 2,000 calories is all the body needs to function in a healthy manner then it is easy to see how many fast food organizations need to change their meals to make them healthier.

One Step too Far
Patent pending No-Step hopes to decrease ladder injuries.

While ladder injuries are prevalent during construction and household chores many precautions have been implemented to prevent these injuries, one recent development in ladder safety is the patent pending No-Step.

Larry Allred Sr. and Larry Allred Jr. the creators of no-step said, “No-Step was created to reduce ladder injuries and bring about a safer work environment for people working on ladders.”

Younger Allred said among the list of safety precautions used to prevent accidents is the suggestion that no individual uses the top step of the ladder while working. He said the warning signs are easy to ignore and many people use this top step anyway because the sign doesn’t stop them, becomes faded from sunlight or is scratched off.

“No-step stops people from using the top steps of ladders all together,” Younger Allred said.

He said it snaps into place and stays securely in the top step preventing anyone from stepping further up the ladder than they should, in this way there is a lower possibility that people will fall because balance won’t be lost and ladders won’t teeter back and forth because people are standing to high on them.

Younger Allred said, “I am hoping the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will recognize that their labeling is being over looked with ladder safety. This is one more simple precaution that can save lives and prevent injuries and will be much more effective than warning stickers.”

The Safe Ladder Management report stated, “OSHA concluded that 100% of ladder accidents might be eliminated with proper attention to the application of equipment, and the proper training of climbers. Human failure causes most ladder falls, but the preventable error is often administrative; not the fault of the victim.”

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission report more than 532,000 people were injured in falls from ladders in 2007.

According to Department of Human Services, Victoria, Australia, “Trauma researchers at the Alfred Hospital have begun looking at preventative measures to improve ladder safety following the release of statistics that show one-in-three ladder falls results in severe head injury and most patients eventually returned home, many required extensive rehabilitation and a number did not survive their injuries.”

Introducing a new product for step ladders, the new product known as No-Step is molded from a non-conductive piece of plastic (polypropylene). It has been engineered to fit most all makes of "A-Frame" step ladders. The purpose of this design is to deny any access to or above the top step, or cap of a step ladder. If you are standing too high on the ladder you may lose your balance and fall. Most falls from ladders seem to result in head trauma. The design will run from the bottom of the ladder cap downward to the very top "step" which is referred to by OSHA as "Not a Step" (1926.1053(b)(13). No-Step will help lower step ladder accidents in direct relation to this existing issue.

Final: Media Pitch

Cache Valley Area Association Teaches Investing Fundamentals.
The economy suffers because lawmakers don’t understand investing concepts.


Dear Jason Anderson,

A non-profit organization called Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA), teaches people to learn the right mentality and approaches when investing to become successful.

“America is suffering because people and lawmakers don’t understand these concepts,” said Preston Parker, the founder of CVAIA .

Parker believes through proper education and practice, people can become financially independent within ten years of following the guidelines set forth by CVAIA. Members of CVAIA become wealthy with the passive income they receive through investing properly. Parker said nearly 95 percent of people in the world live off the earned income they make from going to work every day. He said the other five percent, the worlds wealthy, live off of passive income, which is the money they make from investing wisely. CVAIA teaches people should spend their time doing things they love, and learn the right mentality and approaches to investing to become successful and increase their passive income.

CVAIA is a non-profit organization, has more than 80 members and their next meeting is Feb. 26, at 7:00 pm. CVAIA embraces the Law of Attraction, the Law of Abundance, the Law of Exchange. They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret. CVAIA began in August of 2007 and now has members from many geographical locations and from all walks of life. The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing.

I have seen what it can do to people and for that reason alone I feel I can play a vital role in helping prevent this from happening. The design will run from the bottom of the ladder cap downward to the very top "step" which is referred to by OSHA as "Not a Step" (1926.1053(b)(13) . This will help lower step ladder accidents in direct relation to this existing issue. This will also strengthen OSHA’s standards for safety with ladders. Aside from the 300,000 - 400,000 injuries reported from ladder injuries, there has been between 300-600 deaths reported on a yearly
basis due ladder accidents.

Facebook, Reading Three

The Facebook article was interesting. I could agree with much of what Joanna said in the article. I do think Facebook is an important networking tool. For me personally I like how casual the relationships are on Facebook and I like keeping tabs on people I know or care about. At the same time I have a hard time with all the friend requests from people I don't know. I started using Facebook a month or so ago and I have friend requests from people I don't know, like I really don't know these people or I had one class with them in high school. From what I have observed so far while using facebook is its not really just close friends. I think facebook is a great networking tool that keeps you in check with everyone you have ever come in contact with. Just like Joanna said in the article. You are never out of touch with people. I think that is a good thing.

I also thought the cartoon was entertaining.

Solid Investments during Trying Times
ABC Real Estate LLC, the future of real estate investing.

LOGAN Utah- ABC Real Estate LLC is the only company in northern Utah that handles the patent pending beneficiary-directive equity-holding land trusts. Preston Parker, President of ABC real Estate LLC said he is looking for beneficiaries to invest in their project.

Parker said, “We want people with poor credit to progress and advance. People can manage their credit with this program and their credit report will look better.”

Parker said the company started August, 2008 in California. ABC Real Estate handles real estate using land trusts with four beneficiary parties. A lawyer outside of the company holds the contract. With this contract beneficiaries can have specific deadlines which change case by case basis. Individuals who can’t afford a home, can’t sell, or want to invest, should come to this company because everyone can benefit from this process Parker said.

The company finds buyers and sellers and connects them to each other. The four beneficiary parties are the seller beneficiary, investor beneficiary, credit beneficiary and buyer beneficiary. The beneficiaries decide what to do with the trust and when they come to an agreement they set up and sign a contract. This is an innovative system that benefits all parties involved. If the buyer beneficiary can’t make payments they must adhere to the guidelines in the contract which could state for eviction in seven days. Whereas if a landlord has a renter who can’t pay rent it will take up to 90 days to evict them, with foreclosures it may anywhere from 3-6 months to evict the people leasing the property.

If a person owns a home they would like to sell, they put it in a trust and become a seller beneficiary. Then a buyer beneficiary, an individual who may not qualify to buy a home, can live in the home paying trust contributions. Parker said the money the buyer pays goes toward the mortgage and taxes; the left over money from the payments is kicked out to the other beneficiaries. Parker said although rent is cheaper, if a buyer’s credit is bad, the buyer beneficiary can live in a home they do not qualify for in any other way. Buyers can live in home, can bring their credit up and then qualify to buy the very home they have been living in.

ABC Real Estate, LLC was founded by Preston Parker in 2008. The process is patent pending and the only one of its kind in Northern Utah. Parker has had previous experience with two other companies who have been successful while dealing with land trusts, located in California and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Laws Better Catch up with Technology

These two reading were so enlightening. I can't believe Congress has not acted sooner on updating laws regarding the ever increasing technical world. I am not to concerned about my search engine history being released over legal matters or government concerns. I think if that history is needed for legal matters then by all means, look into it. I am more concerned with my credit card number getting into the wrong hands and from what the article said, there is a good possibility that could happen. I do think there are privacy laws to be considered and with the internet and there should be more laws with better guidelines outlining what should or shouldn't be legal.
The second article was interesting as well. With the booming technical world people are concerned about who has the most power regarding the internet. Just as the article says, if new proposals are accepted, this could sureably alter the flow of commerce and information on the World Wide Web. Any way you look at it, we are in for quite a ride as we try to figure out what to do with this ever growing, advancing technology.

Email Etiquette

One important thing that stood out to me in the first article was the suggestion of having a disclaimer on your email about viruses or other things that could possible effect a network. By having this disclaimer you could prevent being held responsible or sued for a virus that is accidentally passed through email to a different company. I thought this was great information to know. I have been affiliated with many businesses and I do not think any one of them have had a disclaimer like that, but they should.

Email Etiquette

These two articles were informative, interesting, and the information discussed about email etiquette is important for every business. These articles are important because email etiquette is not taught at many businesses because it is assumed that employees know how t use email, which they do, but many employees do not use proper email etiquette as they should. In fact many businesses have no discussion or training procedures in place for email etiquette. Many people may not realize the negative impact poor email etiquette may have on their career and company. These articles brought a greater meaning to the real underlying messages employees may send through email by mistake. In an age where access to information is a click away, consider email etiquette some of the most important information people should know about.

Letter to Cousin

Dear Charles,

The purpose for my letter is to explain what public relations is and how it is beneficial to all businesses and social groups. To understand why PR is so important, you must first understand what it is. Public Relations, The Profession and the Practice, Third Edition states “public relations is a leadership and management function that helps achieve organizational objectives, define philosophy, and facilitate organizational change. Public relations practitioners communicate with all relevant internal and external publics to develop positive relationships and to create consistency between organizational goals and societal expectations.” Now that you know the basic definition of what PR is, you must also understand what it is used for.

Every organization and business, whether profitable or non-profitable, any club or group, and even individual people, like celebrities or rock stars, need good PR groups to be successful. In an age when the knowledge of anyone’s actions is a click away and spreads worldwide in seconds, agencies and individual need professional representation. This representation is important for public image, regardless of the situation. However, PR is not only used for image purposes, but plays an important role in every fundraising activity.

There are many strategies PR groups use. Many of these strategies go hand in hand with marketing and advertising. Companies and organizations have realized having good P.R. groups is such a benefit to their corporations that they have cut budgets from advertising creating more means in support of PR. Tom Trush from ezinearticles.com explains why PR can be more beneficial than advertising in his article Public Relations or Advertising-Which is Best for your Business. Trush said, “While advertising requires payment for space in a publication, effective public relations results in free exposure (assuming you don't hire an agency) for your product or service, readers realize you're trying to sell them something when your information is presented in an advertisement. As a result, they're naturally cautious. With public relations, you get a third-party endorsement from the media - a factor that boosts your credibility.”

It is important to know that PR is essential in the development and growth of any business or organizations. As work in this field is performed in the correct manner, organizations have more positive relationships with the public and their clients. Through effective PR work, the overall image of organizations can be represented professionally and will improve in the public’s eye. With this in mind, these are a few reasons why PR is becoming more and more prevalent in all organizations and why I am glad to be involved in this field.

Sincerely,

James Johnson
