.... we listen to those who wish to recount the ancient history we may find some who refer this theorem to Pythagoras, and say that he sacrificed an ox in honor of his discovery". If this statement is considered as a statement of fact, it is extremely improbable, for Pythagoras was opposed to the sacrifice of animals, especially cattle. If the saying is considered as just a legend, it is easy to explain how such a legend might have come into existence. Perhaps the original form of the legend said something like he who discovered the famous figure sacrificed a bull in honor of his discovery. Van der Waerden goes on to comment that h .....

.... contending that their rules are very specific, that they disclose all of their odds, and that people understand the promotions. Debbie Holland, senior vice president of the company insists that "people don't think that they win" when they receive letters from the company notifying that they are the "latest ten million dollar winner." Holland has also suggested that excerpts from their letters such as "you have to keep your customer status high" or "thank the prize patrol in advance" are not intended to trick consumers into purchasing products from the company, but are meant to "simply ask for an order."

.... learning about power. This notion was challenged as I learned that there are three different perspectives that are used to analyze an organization. There are three different perspectives used to view organizational behavior and processes: Strategic-Design, Political and Cultural. Initially, I was looking at the organization and the process of management from the political perspective. This perspective deals with the use of power and influence throughout the organization. However, I also had to learn about the strategic- design perspective, which dealt with the differentiation, efficiency, strategy, coordination and integ .....

.... allegiance to their own gender becomes socially more important. For example, video game advertising starts influencing young boys with bloody and violent games like "Duke Nukem: Zero hour". This game shows a strong men dressed like a cowboy with a gun on each hand saying: "I'm the good and the bad. You just the ugly", inducing boys to "play his game" and demonstrate that they can be better than "Duke." In the same advertisement, it is shown how Duke is blowing out the brains of a man, "burn'em, blast'em, or blow'em away -Duke's packing serious heat! Guns, girls, a fistful of attitude. His motto is clear. Masc .....

.... is that a $2000 check for a job, even if work is not part of the job description, can't compete with a $2000 check plus $10,000 in cash." He is saying that the problem is not the $2,000 job, but the $10,000 dollars the agents will give to athletes as bribes. He says the main problem is not students holding jobs but the agents bribing students. Even by having jobs this will not help the NCAA from sports agents. Another proposed idea is to directly pay student athletes for playing for the college. This idea has been passed around for years but has always been turned down. During the 1970's and 80's, NCAA director Walter Byers .....

.... important effects on society. Yet, many people do not believe that the media have personally influenced them or have harmed them. However, to attempt to understand how the media may shape the attitudes of individuals, and how they may shape culture itself, requires that we stand back from our personal experiences in order to analyze the arguments presented on each side of the debate. For example, some believe that it is very important to report serious, society-threatening news with total objectivity. If it is not reported in such a manner, an indirect inciting of the more radical audience can occur. In the September 1996 iss .....

.... To the MMs this is like taking candy from a baby. Simply they will paint the tape and use whatever tactic to affect the charting bands. Thus the public and dumb money they will have eating out of their hands. Effectively the MMs can show a strong stock growing weak by manipulating the close price in order to generate selling volume, delaying trading time to manipulate trading activities, or even stalling the ask without honoring orders to hold a stock price. MMs follow a simple code of business when making a market in a stock especially an OTC BB. That is the level that stocks will seek that yields the most v .....

.... would occur, and an emotional evaluation of that outcome.” There is a mathematical advantage that applies your rating of certain factors and weighs the positives versus the negatives. The second term that applies to the theory at hand is Subjective Norms. It a simple idea that consists of attitude determination in two separate parts. Firstly, the person considers what others think he or she should do and, secondly, whether or not the person wants to “conform to these social pressures”. Once again the term can be expressed in mathematical terms by weighing the importance between social acceptance and per .....

.... the intention to explore in depth the idea that humans may in fact not actually have a soul. By presenting the ideas that Richard Dawkins has illustrated in his book called “The Selfish Gene”(1976), I shall attempt to do this. In so doing, this will hopefully not necessarily convince you that there is no such thing as a soul, but more so question your own existence as well as your own ideas revolving around life as you know it. You may in fact be thinking that you have your views and that is that. But to not be open to this paradigm shift is to limit oneself in such a way that the only conclusion to be reached is that .....
