...a good way to be somewhat high-class and able to increase an improved method from the different users and the outsiders, that has been compared to the not for profit that’s using a COM. I believe that the best web page that I would want to select would be free-flu.org. In a way it will be very much available and it’s very simple to remember. This name free-flu has been left intact in a way of not having to add any further letters that has to be used for the domain. I feel that best thing to be used is the dash because it’s more simple to use than the underscore. This way it will break it up enough to make things a little easier to understand and to escape of misunderstanding. There are key selections with the domain and they are NET, COM, EDU, ORG and GOV. Well when using COM, it was supposed to be used for the different type of commercial business and organizations. The COM domain was the one that has grown fastest and it’s a little more widely used. There has been some current worries about COM, with those have been the overgrowth and this will continue to raise at the recent rate. There could be a time in which that the commercial groups will only be permitted to sign up with the COM domain. The NET was supposed to be the domain for any type of computer industry. This was used for networking, but you are able to use it for anything now. This particular network provider was the single intent, but they find out that this domain is now being used for anybody and any organizations...

...Darlene Ford Darlene 1 EDU-350 Professor Sue Crannell June 21, 2015 Literary Worth Essay Did Emily Dickinson take part in literary break found in the traditional 19th century? Yes her poetry came forth with boldness during this time. Her writings were so unique it made her readers capture and believe what she was writing about. Within her poems, she demonstrated mixed feelings in her writings, although she uses imagination to communicate with particular ideals in some poems. During the early 1900’s many poets decided to get away from the normal way of writing American Poetry. By doing this many poets began to write in different styles other than the traditional American way to write poetry. Three criteria’s we can elaborate on in regards to great poetry would be first, the work is relevant to normal life situations. Second, the poetry work is worth reading and is comforting to read. Third, the poets all had great ideas to write on. Walt Whitman had his part in the literary break which causes American Literature to gain new styles of writing poetry. He was a journalist who wrote to fulfill the needs of his audience. He often time would write poetry that would run on and on. Whitman and Dickinson new ways of writing poetry has brought about a great change in our modern literature classes. This new style of writing...

...Superstitions and fear led the trials in Salem instead of justice, causing the downfall of Salem. The witch trials of Salem, Massachusetts have continued to enchant the state as a time of paranoia and injustice; without this conflict, however, superstition and the lack of decent trials would still continue to endure in not only Massachusetts but also the country as a whole. A lot of things occurred before the Salem Witch Trials that contributed to this unfortunate event. Superstitions and the belief in the supernatural arose and spread out in colonial New England (Salem Witch). Belief in the Supernatural involved the belief in the evil doings of the devil. These superstitions led to a witch craze that occurred through Europe to start up in America especially in Salem, Massachusetts (Blumberg). The superstitions that had already been is Salem only helped to fuel this witch craze. Rivalries that had existed in Salem did not help to stop the craze; in fact, these rivalries only increased the witch craze making it a strong part in Salem life. The Puritan community of Salem Village included a rivalry between what was then called Salem Town known as Salem today (Blumberg). The strain on Salem’s resources also aggravated the existing rivalries between families who depended on agriculture and families with wealth that was tied to Salem’s port (Blumberg). The rivalries became even worse during the witch craze and eventually led to the trials. The trials of Salem began from what we would...

...be located within cities opposed to the outskirts of urban areas which would create a problem of location. “People have cars but it’s a nightmare driving back and forth,” Padmanabhan says, “So if you’re looking at opening a big footprint store in a city you have a lot of constraints, apart from availability of space and location, regulation and things like that” (Padmanabhan, 2010). Wal-Mart expected the Korean consumers to drive to its stores for price shopping as the American consumers do. However, this location strategy did not match well with the Korean consumers’ lifestyle and shopping habits. As the “youdecide” stated adapting to the culture of another area is a reason why the hypermarkets are not common in some places. In North America where consumers want low price, Wal-Mart’s low price offering was matched with customers’ definition of value. Wal-Mart has retreated from Korea and Germany. This is because Wal-Mart needed to localize its products and services to foreign market’s tastes and preferences. Competitive advantages foreign retailer enjoy in Asian Markets The key is the ability to adapt to overseas market conditions largely determines success of international operations of foreign retailers such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Wal-Mart’s main competitive advantage has been its ability to offer the most competitive price to consumers by having a cost efficient operating system that...

...18th Annual SDM EXCLUSIVE REPORT Neither Stellar Nor Stagnant Si in Six i 10 i t integrators were able t move ahead i 2012 and counted an i t bl to h d in d t d increase i in systems integration revenue; but one-third slipped back — showing that the security marketplace is not yet where it was pre-recession. By Laura Stepanek, Editor A 9 percent decrease in the 2012 revenue for SDM’s Top Systems Integrators is a deceiving number because individual company results did not recede to that extent. By all accounts, systems integrators described 2012 as average to improved — at least moderately better than the dismal results they encountered in 2011. While some companies found it “challenging,” others experienced the opposite. Most were in the middle — financial performance was neither stellar nor stagnant, but “acceptable” compared with the past few years. “2012 was another challenging year for the larger commercial integrated systems business. It wasn’t worse than 2011 but about the same,” notes No. 25-ranked ASG Security, Beltsville, Md. “There are still fewer projects, less funding and great pressure on margins. However, the low and mid markets performed very well for us again; specifically, a continued great resurgence in residential sales with excitement around our enhanced service platform. Small business was also a continued strong growth segment for the company, led by enhanced intrusion sales and cloud-based video services.” ASG Security reported $20.9 million...

...I determined the sources for my essay to be reliable because they came from some credible sites. One of my sources came from a .com website that is from a college library. The other came from a .org which I find reliable as it is a well-established organization. Finally my third choice for a source is a .edu that is from a research institute. I also did a little research on the authors and they were all well established and respected writers which would also make my research more reliable. All three of my selections were relevant because they were all on the same subject of responsibility as my essay is on personal responsibility. My sources were also all fairly recent the oldest of the three was written in 1994 but I still find the information very useful and it still applies with these modern times. The other two sources were a little newer one was written in 2009 and the other was written in 2013. One of my sources which is The Heritage foundation that is a .org website is a very conservative organization and that would tell me that the author would have a bias based on his political views. Another website I used which is Brookings institute is a .edu and their views seem to me are more towards the liberal side and would also have a bias because of their beliefs. My third choice was geared more towards a law standpoint. I think the information I have used in my essay will do more to strengthen my essay because it all backs up my thesis statement very well...

...Jennifer Grimes EDU- 210 October 25, 2014 Nancy Winship Movers and Shakers in Education Socrates is an education method that came about in between the years of( 470-399 BC). Socrates had their own way of learning." The Socrates believed that the purpose of education was to teach people how to reason and produce a society of "rational" citizens". ( Pearson, (2012) pg.104,paragraph 5). Socrates did not believe that when providing an education to other people that he take any money for his services he thought it was better to provide it for free. Socrates also did not believe that you received an education for the better of the world but for you to have more knowledge. He also believed that gaining knowledge for the purpose of gaining power was not a moral thing to do. He believed that the knowledge of all men was something that needed to gained and achieved by all. Socrates believed that schools were only as good as its society and that the education of one should be to gain full knowledge of what the society was all about. In between the years of (1466- 1536) Desiderius Erasmus was a Christian Philosopher of the Renaissance who believed that anyone who should choose to teach should also have an elite education and have clear knowledge of what it is exactly that they plan on teaching children in education. He also believed that it was very important that Latin and Greek be taught. In part for...

...Inclusion Position Joshua Callahan Edu/105 September 7, 2015 University of Phoenix Inclusion Position All students do have the right to be instructed in the regular education classroom. Some people fear that it will be more detrimental to students with disabilities learning process as the class will be too far advanced. Other parents feel that the students who are on track with their learning feel that too much time will be taken out on the students who may learn differently than the rest. “Many students with learning disabilities benefit from being served in the regular education classroom.” (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2015). My position is that all students should be allowed to learn on the same level, and the one’s who need further help will be able to receive it. The inclusion of special education students in the classroom can effect it in many ways. The challenges are that the students with the disabilities may feel overwhelmed and it could not benefit them because of the excess of information. Another challenge would be for the students that are not special needs, as the teachers may have to spend more time with the other students and not enough time with them. The benefits are that everyone feels equal. The children learn to work together and help one another on things that may not be able to happen in a special needs classroom. It teaches the students that everyone is different, and that acceptance is key within the community. The Brown...
