Mergers
.... to follow. In simple terms, the two companies didn’t get along well with each other. Then we have Tyco International Ltd. that merged with Binge/Purge. Such a shame that Tyco’s newest acquisition had “questions of fraud, people undermining decisions, and bad accounting practices.” My last example is that of AutoNation. AutoNation is a company recently formed that deals with “pre-owned” or used cars. It has “shut down 23 of its mega stores, and laid off 1,800 employees just because they overprod .....

Michel Foucault And The Cultiv
.... broad audience; rather, he used his project of the are of the self as a model for oppressed minorities who had no voice of their own.
Foucault was fascinated by what one or a group has to suppress and reject to form a positive conception of itself. He believed that our conception of ourselves as subjects depends on controlling or excluding whole classes of people who do not fit our Enlightened category of “normal”. The same devices we use to understand and control these marginalized groups are also essen .....

Microsoft The Company
.... The growth rate was quite steady until 1982-1983. This was when Microsoft had grown 104%. By 1995, Microsoft's revenue was 5.9 billion dollars, and they employed 17,800 people (Cusumano and Selby 3). In December of 1996, Gates owned 282,217,980 shares in Microsoft, which ultimately helped him become the richest man in the world (geocities 2).

.... because Lynn is losing her father rapidly. However, where most middle-aged adults might begin planning for their own retirement, Lynn is still financially supporting three of her four children.

Mind Sports
.... that noise, it is extremely nerve-racking for any inexperienced tournament player. It has also been known to drive some professionals to the brink of madness.
Most people who do not consider chess a sport either don’t play, or are just unaware of the facts. It is not easy to understand just how difficult the game really is if tournament play has never been experienced. To many people chess will never be considered a sport, but even if they did, it would most likely not change the commonly held .....

On the other hand, a psychologically male person is a person that believes he or she is a male and vice versa for a psychologically female person.

These were poor women who were devout Christians and dedicated to prayer. They lived together and supported themselves by begging and working menial jobs. They took no religious vows, however, and were free to leave as they pleased. They were accepted by the church until the fourteenth century. A religious order th .....

And free as knowledge? Well, we don't know what "knowledge" is, but we can get you plenty of data, and as soon as we figure out how to download it straight into the skulls of students, we can put all the teachers into the breadline.
Now getting back to the fact of the air really being free. Yes, air does indeed h .....

.... view, is how the ‘traditional’ organised economic crime has adapted to the worldwide potential of globalisation. Although globalisation has led to the blurring of the distinction between economic crime and organised crime residual elements remain. The global network has made economic crime more lucrative, more anonymous, and therefore less risky. The focus of this essay will be on the part that European countries play in facilitating global computer crime and the role and motivation of corporations and i .....

Motivation 2

Medical insurance and educational opportunities, among others are all common benefits in compensation programs for many manufacturers. Many people argued that these benefits attract and retain employees, but have little to do with work performance. Some also believe that if these benefits are spread out among workers in general, these kinds of work incentives will not guarantee good performance. Well Pay vs. Sick Pay is an example of how an incentive program reinf .....

To an up and coming band, MP3s and MP3 websites are a godsend. These bands can record a CD at any recording studio, then rip – that is, take an audio CD track and turn it into an MP3 - the tracks and put them on their website for anyone to download. The band could also put their songs on a large, well known website such as mp3.com which specializes in the distribution of legal MP3 audio files. By doing this, the band is allowing their music to be heard easily, quickly, and .....

My Lai: The Event, The Trial,

Another interesting statistic that came out of the report was that only three rifles and 10 hand grenades were recovered or seized from the sight (background.html). One would think that if troops would be that successful in wiping out the enemy in such a situation, there would be a lot more artillery recovery.
To add even more of a twist to this event would be to say that there wasn't really a motive behind the massacre. It would be safer to say that there were t .....

A more recent ghost, and a female at that, was Resurrection Mary. Resurrection Mary is one of Chicago's most famous ghosts. This beautiful blonde, blue-eyed girl dressed in white has been reported in the Chicago environs since 1934, the year of her alleged death. Mary takes her name from Resurrection Cemetery where she is supposed to be buried. Her full name is unknown .....
