I’m currently doing my A Levels and i want to continue studying business at university. I would like to know what you guys think of Westminster university for a business degree.

yea it is

I have a one-year-old female English Bull Terrier named Lily. I got her on saturday afternoon, and I took her down to my friends house, which is along our street, through another, down the main street, through a couple more and you’re there. She was fine; a bit slow and cautious, but fine. It’s a fair old walk, too. So anyway, i brought her back, and she was more confident as we took the same route. So the next day i walked her i got her to the top of the street, and she didn’t want to go any further (standing with her head down, tail between her legs, crying). So i took her home, and a couple of hours later me and my brother took her up the path near our house that leads to the front street. She was slow, but steady. We took her round and down into the street, and home. She didn’t fuss, cry or bark her first night. She was as good as gold.

And then the other morning, i took her out. I eventually got her to the other side of the road, where she did her business and i picked it up, but i had to drag her (literally) around the corner to the dog bin. I brought her home, and she was alright. That was about 8:30 AM.

At about half 12, my friend came around. We walked her up the street with some difficulty, and she did her business once again. Between us, we managed to get her up a long stretch of street, and over near a field of horses (she was quite eager to see the horses). Then she wouldn’t budge. So we took her back, and she was pulling on the leader like mad. She ws sticking her head through the fence to see a little labrador pup in the garden, and had a good sniff of a passing collie.

But every walk i’ve taken her on since she stopped, and wouldn’t budge. It’s not easy trying to drag an English Bull, trust me. I’ll drag her so far, speak sternly to her, try and encourage her, but it does no good. i just look like an idiot. the only way she’ll move is if i take her back. treats didn’t even work. Sometimes i can get her right around the block, but most times she won’t move on our street. i’m so irritated with her sometimes, and i just wish i could get it through to her to shift, but speaking to her does no good, and i wouldn’t dream of hitting her; physical abuse is utterly no way to go about anything. Her previous owner didn’t mention anything about her not liking walks (he’s a very good friend, and he told us everything about her).

So i was wondering if there are any Bull Terrier owners out there, or indeed anyone who is well versed in walking stubborn dogs (Lily is sporadically stuborn, shes okay then shes not, and its not medical. Her pads are fine, as is her stomach, back, etc) who may have had this problem. I’ve tried her favorite toy and treats - to no avail. Should i just drag her and not look back, and make her come? Will that teach her?

Please help!

Not a bull terrier owner, but was a former dog trainer that dealt with breaking adult dogs of destructive behaviour! Maybe my suggestion would work here…

Two things come to mind–firstly, does your dog have bone problems? Has she been checked out thoroughly? If she is in excellent health then I suspect she wants to control the walk.

Try keeping a whole bunch of treats in your pockets–really small ones! If you see she is losing interest in the walk keep a piece in your hand low enough for her to smell it, have interest in it, and she’ll follow you along until you give it to her. Don’t reward her too often, of course, and don’t make it a routine she can figure out. Keep her guessing!!

It may be the former owner was so REGIMENTED in the walks with her that she is having a hard time adjusting. Encouraging curiosity is critical, so consider bringing a favourite toy on your walks occasionally and play with it at different points. Just don’t make it a "routine." You don’t want to stress her out, either, by giving her zero routines….make sure the "I need a routine" is transferred somewhere else, say in your home (tugging after dinner–don’t do a routine around your exit from your home or your arrival–it will generate separation anxiety!). So find out from the former owner if he was regimented in a routine.

Best of luck!!

We are in NY. If so, will he then have to be a paid employee? I know that being woman owned will help us win government contracts but I do not want to be paying crazy taxes.

The ownership of the business is somewhat irrelevant to who does the work. Consider a much larger business where stock is owned by thousands of people. Most of the owners do not work in the business but theoretically hire management that runs the operation.

You, as the owner, can employ whomever you want to work in the business. If you choose to pay your husband as an employee, then you can do so. You do not have to - that’s between you and him.

To qualify for government contracts, however, there may be other stipulations regarding how much of the work is done by the owners vs. other employees - so you’ll want to be careful when applying for that type of work.

Good luck!

Personally math is not my best subject,but i’d like to be a CEO
My strengths in School are: Language arts,writing,written expressions,History…basically anything that doesn’t require much math.
If not…With my strengths that I have in school…what should I become when I get older?Any advice and opinions??

You can’t use a calculator or Excel to do the math if you don’t know what formulas to put into the calculator or Excel. Yes, you’ll need math through calculus to be a corporate CEO and you’ll need some specific finance and economics math as well. Business is all about money - money is all about math.

If you’d like an idea of the sorts of math you will need, take a look at some sample questions from the GMAT (the test to get into graduate business school) at your local book store. It’s not like the math people doing physics need - but it’s more than basic arithmetic.

Example:
If a real estate agent received a commission of 6 percent of the selling price of a certain house, what was the selling price of the house?

(1) The selling price minus the real estate agent’s commission was $84,600.
(2) The selling price was 250 percent of the original purchase price of $36,000.

(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.

(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

The question requires that you calculate the selling price of the house using both methods to determine not what the selling price was, but if the statement offered enough information to make the calculation. If you found that in both statements the selling price was $90,000 and therefor the answer is D then you are correct.

Honestly, the only excuse to continue through life with bad math skills is if you have a learning disability - and even then it can usually be overcome to some level. The best way is to take some courses (your community college usually has a bunch of good ones) starting at the most basic level (to catch up whatever you missed early on) and work your way up.

If you look at a list of highest paying job/majors - those that require the most math are at the top. Those that require the least math are at the bottom. The important lesson there? Learn some math.

No matter what you major in, you’ll be required to take at least one and probably two math classes though the humanities and arts majors can often get away with algebra and below. Social Sciences and Business will probably require stats and calc. The sciences and engineering will require a lot of math.

I have picked as my options GCSE ICT and BTEC Business but will soon be hoping to change BTEC Business to GCSE business studies

You will need to do a degree in your chosen subject and then do a one year post graduate certificate in teaching

im looking to study music business in canada i am currently in cegep in quebec. the only reason why i am not going for the US is because it is more expensive. (all universities that offer exchange programs are a + )
All help and advice will be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

If you are referring to recording, digital media or administration in music, universities are not your best choice. Specialized college courses and private institutions will give you a better hands on experience. Check these out:

EX. Leaking Naked Pictures, Text Messages, Videos

I don’t think it’s a "man thing," so much as it is an individual thing, and the person who does it has their own personal reasons; most likely because they’re pissed about being dumped. They probably don’t have any illusions that it’s ok; they probably know it isn’t, but don’t care.

Ok. I am studying Associates in Liberal studies with Biological science concentration…. then I want to study business.now my question is will this process work. Please help me.

Thanks.

In your Associates degree you should take your basic classes and business classes.

Check with the four years schools that you would like to attend and see what are the requirements for a business diploma and if you will be able to complete them in two years. Watch the prerequisites./

Good luck./

Zodiacman says they are there for AP, not just CP.

zodiacman is not honest

a store that sells the latest fashion
not already existing ones just a name you think would be good

Your name must reflect i) the type of fashion (eg casual, business attire etc) and ii) the target audience. A name that appeals to teenagers will not appeal to an older woman, and women looking for a smart suit will be turned off by a trendy or jokey name.
