- 1121: E-commerce
- ... enterprise system and directly manipulate, analyze, and transform that firm's internal information. But skeptics point out that implementation of this vision may not succeed, and that DDI does not allow sufficiently robust, automated, or high-volume information exchange. The Internet-in contrast to both EDI and DDI-is an open, real-time networking system that allows spontaneous connections on a global scale with any buyer and seller. It is relatively ... particularly well-suited for the format offering the highest level of consumer satisfaction, albeit to the narrowest band of consumer: the 'gnat-egory killer,' a format that 'explodes' a small, highly defined category, catering to high-interest product enthusiasts." 6 Marketing and "Branding" on the Internet The twin forces of commoditization and personalization in electronic commerce make it even more important for companies to develop sharp brand identities for themselves and ... trend accelerates, indeed, merely local name recognition may become a distinct limitation and a competitive disadvantage. The brand name competitor with large geographic reach (facilitated by the Internet) will be more able to woo the high-profit, high-volume business, leaving the more difficult, complex customer needs to less efficient local generalists. This is precisely what is occurring in healthcare, as profit-making hospital chains increasingly specialize their services in ...
- 1122: Freedom in the United States
- ... effective means for people to use their freedoms effectively to bring about change from the government. Freedom of speech is constantly being challenged as is evidenced in a recent court case where a Gloucester County school district censored reviews of two R-rated movies from a school newspaper. Superior Court Judge, Robert E. Francis ruled that the student's rights were violated under the state Constitution. I feel this is a major break through for students' rights because it limits editorial control of school newspapers by educators and allows students to print what they feel is important. A newly proposed bill (A-557) would prevent school officials from controlling the content of student publications. Critics of the bill ...
- 1123: Important Cases of the US Supreme Court
- ... law. Another important case recently involved the right of protection against illegal search and seizure. In T.L.O. v. New Jersey two girls were caught smoking cigarettes in the bathroom of a New jersey high school. Being searched revealed cigarettes, marijuana, large amounts of cash, and records indicating the sale of marijuana on one of the girls. The girl was convicted of drug charges but her lawyer argued she was searched illegally. This case was another example of the limitation of rights. The issue in this case was the right of protection against illegal search and seizure versus the need of the school system to create and maintain a safe learning environment. According to law a law official must establish "probable cause" before a search can take place. However in a public school setting school officials operate ...

- 1125: Birdhouse
- ... while attending college in San Francisco, California. Beverly had never been to college and was actually being pressured by her mother not to go in the first place. It was supposed to be a good school though, even though it was a Jr. College named Chuffy. When she finally arrived in San Francisco she went straight to her cousin’s house. The whole house was painted bright colors, making it seem more fresh and new. Compared to her house, which happened to be all white! Giving the sense that it was boring and plain, which Beverly seemed to think it, was. The school was even worse… Each room was painted a dark green, while the desks where in a triangular form as if it were an elementary class. Besides the schools lack of fashion Beverly had a great time getting to know everyone. If you lived close by (which she did) you could just spend the night at home, but if not the school principles were always willing to rent dorms to those in need of them. Each dorm had a twin size bed and a nightstand right beside it. So clearly they were very small! That is ...

- ... birth. Freeman. (1928) The Minnesota Adoption Studies of 1974 included the Transracial Adoption Study to test he hypotheses that black and interracial children that are reared by white parents would perform on IQ tests and school achievement measures as well as other adopted children. Results were that black and interracial scored as well as adoptees in other studies. The high IQ scores of the black and interracial children showed that genetic racial differences do not account for a moor portion of the IQ performance difference between racial groups. The study also found that black and interracial children reared in the culture of the tests and the school perform as well as other adopted children in similar families. Marie Dkoday and Harold Shell's {1949) report of a longitudinal adoption study of IQ is one of the most frequently cited articles in ...
- 1127: An Anaysis Of Sexism Against The Female In Athletics
- ... Viverito, Chairwoman of the NCAA’s Committee on Women’s Athletics. The newspaper took a detailed look at the issue in late 1995, when it stated numbers for 1994 of the 107 Division I-A school. Since then, the Equity In Athletics Disclosure Act, requires all colleges to report data on men and women’s athletics. The Federal law took effect April 1, 1997. To ensure that A college is in compliance with Title IX, The Department of Education office for Civil Rights, uses a three-pronged test to decide. A school is in compliance if it passes a single prong. One prong asks its school to show a history of continuing expansion of women’s athletics programs. Another asks if interest and abilities of women athletes have been met. The only measurable prong asks if the percentage of women ...

- ... be roughly defined as meditation. Dhyana denotes specifically the state of consciousness of a Buddha, one whose mind is free from the assumption that the distinct individuality of oneself and other things is real. The school of Zen Buddhism begins with a Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma, an Indian Buddhist monk who arrived in China in 520. Bodhidharma began the Lanka School which later became known as Ch an (Zen). The doctrine of the Lanka School mainly concerned itself with the study of the mind. The members of the Lanka School were noted for the ascetic life, living faraway from communities. Not until the ninth century, did the name Ch ...

- ... fitted for a false limb. He was an excellent writer and a vivid satirist of his classmates, but his marks were not good; so, like so many Midwestern boys, he was shipped East to boarding school, where he would be taught discipline and hard work. In September of 1911, with the words and music of Irving Berlin's new song "Alexander's Ragtime Band" uppermost on his mind, he enrolled at the Newman School in Hackensack, New Jersey, a popular Roman Catholic school among Midwestern families. Here he was to have two years to ready himself for a good Ivy League College, preferably Princeton or Yale. Scott chose Princeton, but Princeton very nearly didn't choose him. ...
- 1130: African Americans
- ... case of BROWN V. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF TOPEKA, KANSAS, the Supreme Court held that separate facilities are, by their very nature, unequal. In spite of this decision, more than a decade passed before significant school integration took place in the South. In the North, where segregated schools resulted from segregated housing patterns and from manipulation of school attendance boundaries, separation of races in public schools increased after 1954. A second major breakthrough in the fight against segregation grew out of the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott in 1955. The boycott began when Rosa ... This enormous shift of population has put severe strains on the fabric and social structure within both the old and new communities of migrating blacks. If one adds to this the problems of low income, high unemployment, poor education, and other problems related to racial discrimination, it could be said that the black community in the 20th century has existed in a perpetual state of crisis. The black community, however, ...
