...The article being reviewed in this reading brief paper,“ The Effect Of Banner Advertising on Internet Purchasing ” investigated the relationship between banner advertising and purchasing patterns on the internet. The authors used a behavioral database that consists of customer purchases at a Web site and individual advertising exposure. The authors measure the impression of banner advertising on current customers’ probability of repurchase while accounting for duration dependence. (1) The authors formulate a model of individual purchase timing behavior as a function of advertising exposure. A survival model was used to model the probability of a current customer making a purchase in any given week (since the last purchase). The duration dependence in the customers’ purchase behavior is captured through a flexible, piecewise exponential hazard function. The advertising covariates enter through a proportional hazards specification. These covariates, consist of strictly advertising variables, such as weight and quality, as well as advertising/individual browsing variables, represented by how many and which pages expose customers to advertising. The model is cast in a hierarchical Bayesian framework, thus enabling the authors to control for unobserved individual differences in the advertising response parameters and to investigate the impact of targeted advertising strategies. The authors concluded that banner advertising have a positive effect on Internet purchasing. Key Learning...

...1) How I feel about the issue of someone deciding to “protest” during the Star Spangled Banner is that it is disrespectful to all the things America stands for. As American’s we should take pride every time we hear the Anthem of this great country. To think about all the brave men and women that have went to war for this country so that we could have a democracy, that allows people of the United States to have freedom to do as they choose. Lately with the current events I can see why Mr. Kaepernick would want to protest but the way he has elected to do it is very disrespectful manner. On Monday Kaepernick had a service member of the armed forces right in front of him and he still refused to stand. To me if there was a person fifty feet from me and in uniform I would definitely thank them for their service to our country. The Star Spangled Banner is an honor...

...On September 13, 1814, the Star-Spangled banner was written by Francis Scott Key. He was inspired by the flag over Fort McHenry after a barrage of shots and shells plummeted onto the American fort. As the British pounded throughout the day and night, the smoke had cleared the next day revealing the American flag still flying high over the fort. Key jotted down the few lines saluting the event: “And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”The “home of the brave” lyrics represent the heroism of Americans to defend their country. Respect is to feel admiration for what someone has done, and to treat them in a polite and kind way. The soldiers and people who have died for the...

Although it wasn’t until March of 1931 for the poem, originally called “The Defence of Fort McHenry”, to be announced as America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The song is a symbol of national pride and we continue to sing this to show our nation’s endurance through the war.

That's no good, says New Constructs founder David Trainer-or at least not good enough at today's lofty valuations. "There's a whole lot of money chasing precious few decent stocks," claims Trainer, "and the rest of the money is pushing other stock prices too high." Of the 3,000 U.S.-listed stocks that New Constructs' {rcgie.qnstrueis*egm) analysts track closely, only about 10oh are "attractive" by the firm's estimates. Approximately two-thirds are "dangerous" because of risk factors not illuminated by financial statements, says Trainer, a forensic accountant by profession. The rest are rated "neutral." Generally accepted accounting principles, the language of accrual accounting, can help prudent managers manage and lenders determine suitable levels of leverage.
