Use snapshots, not images taken from Google Earth’s “Tour Guide” function or Google Images. Remember you can navigate Google Earth all the way to the ocean floor. Make sure you give a full explanation of how the feature was formed (use the text).
Google Analytics (GA) is an easy-to-use tool to measure activity on a website. A basic setup might take as little as a few minutes, and many of the standard reports are quite accessible and understandable without any special training or prior knowledge of web analytics. Because of this, many users jump into GA without knowing much about its underpinnings-how the data is structured and gathered-and that’s fine for the basics. But eventually, users can outgrow this intuitive understanding of GA and its data, and need deeper insight into how it works and what it can do.
In a 3-4 page APA formatted paper, explore the Google Analytics environment and explain how we accomplish the following in Google Analytics:
Next, write a comparison of what Google does versus what other search providers do. How is Google different than Yahoo, Bing, etc.? What makes them special and the market leader in this area?
Be sure to use proper citations and references within your paper.

Gourmet Foods Works on Employee Attitudes Gourmet Foods is a huge grocery and drug company. It has more than 2400 supermarkets, and its Premier and Polar brands make it the fifth-largest drugstore company in North America. In a typical year, shoppers will make 1.4 billion trips through its stores. Gourmet Foods competes against tough businesses. Wal-Mart, in particular, has been eating away at its market share. In 2010, with revenues flat and profits falling, the company hired Larry Johnston to turn the business around. Larry Johnston came to Gourmet Foods from General Living Medical Systems, and while he was there, he met a training specialist named Roger Nelson. At the time, Johnston had been sent to Paris to fix General Living’s European division. Over the previous decade, four executives had been brought in to turn the division around and try to make it profitable, but all had failed. Johnston responded to the challenge by initiating some important changes—he made a number of acquisitions, he closed down inefficient plants, and he moved factories to Eastern European countries to take advantage of lower labour costs. Then he brought in Roger Nelson to charge up the troops. “After we got Roger in,” says Johnston, “people began to live their lives differently. They came to work with a spring in their step.” In three years, the division was bringing in annual profits of $100 million. Johnston gives a large part of the credit for this turnaround to Nelson. What is Nelson’s secret? He provides motivation and attitude training. Here is an example of Nelson’s primary program—called the Successful Life Course. It lasts three days and begins each morning at 6 a.m. The first day begins with a chapter from an inspirational handout, followed by 12 minutes of yoga-like stretching. Then participants march up a hill, chanting, “I know I can, I know I can.” This is followed by breakfast and then a variety of lectures on attitude, diet, and exercise. Other parts of the program include team activities, and mind-control relaxation exercises. But the primary focus of the program is on attitude. Says Nelson, “It’s your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.” Johnston believes strongly in Nelson’s program. “Positive attitude is the single biggest thing that can change a business,” says Johnston. He sees Nelson’s program as being a critical bridge linking employees with customers: “We’re in the business of maintenance and acquisition of customers.” With so many shoppers going through his stores, Johnston says there are “a lot of opportunities for customer service. We’ve got to energize our people.” To prove he is willing to put his money where his mouth is, Johnston has committed $10 million to Nelson’s training. Nelson claims his program works and he cites success he achieved at other companies. “The goal is to improve mental, physical, and emotional well-being,” he says. “We as individuals determine the success of our lives. Positive thoughts create positive actions.”
