Abstract
This paper relates that Internet authentification is used to confirm a person's real identity and how the process of authentification happens when a "session token" is put in the computer owner's web browser and then is stored as a cookie. The paper looks at different types of authentification such as HTTP Basic Authentification, HTTP Digest Authentification, Forms Based Authentication, Digital Certificates (SSL and TLS), and Password Based Authentication Systems.

From the Paper
"The first type of Authentification is known as HTTP Basic Authentification. This is the most basic of all the types of Authentification. HTTP involves when a user inputs a web address into the to web browser (known as an URL). The web server then gives them a HTTP 401 unauthorized status code, which says: "HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required" (Authentification). This message then asks the Internet surfer to enter the proper username and password to enter the website they came to originally. The only really problem presented during HTTP Authentification is there is no tool available to the Internet server to direct the web browser to officially logout. This means, it would get rid of the user's stored username and password that was in the system before. "

From the Paper
"According to World Internet Link (2001) "Internet Portals are among the hottest Internet trends of the day." Client Help Desk (2002) describes an Internet portal as ?a Web site which offers a great amount of content and services, either on many subjects or on a specific subject.? Major Internet portals, a further development of search-engines, include AltaVista, Excite, Lycos and Yahoo. Problems arise because of privacy concerns as some users don't want to provide personal information and credit card details to an Internet portal and/or e-commerce company. The personalisation of Internet portals is possible via a cookie. Originally designed for consumer convenience, the cookie is an important tool to personalise and customise an Internet portal. Initially, portals offered only search tools but are now more personalised, enabling users to customise them by initiating their own start-up page containing their individual content, layout and colour. Furthermore portals started selling products too."

Abstract
This paper examines the commercial learning method for reading from the Saxon Publishing Company, known as Saxon Phonics. It looks at how the Saxon product's easy standardization of methodology and cookie-cutter approach explains its favored status among those who advocate standardized national testing as a kind of quality control of student performance.

From the Paper
"The Saxon website also stresses the value of phonics in a heterogeneous learning environment as a source of connection, and provides photographs of multicultural settings without justifying why this is so beneficial. Instead of offering data, Saxon Publishing implicitly connects itself and its learning methods to the recent initiative advanced by President Bush. "In January 2002 President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act-the most sweeping education reform bill in more than 35 years. The Act outlines expectations for Pre-K-12 learning programs that will drive education reform for years to come. It also includes the President's four basic education reform principles: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and an emphasis on proven teaching methods." (Official Website, 2004)"

Abstract
This paper argues that education in all of the art forms benefits children by increasing their cognitive skills. It looks at how, when children engage in the arts, they are able to access and incorporate many different learning styles and intelligence factors that enhance not only their learning within the arts themselves, but also generally improve their verbal and written skills. It examines the concept of multiple intelligences, in general, as well as applying it specifically to the incorporation of arts education, and suggests a possible application of how teaching through the arts is a way of supporting a multiple intelligence approach. Overall, it argues that a multiple intelligence approach, especially one incorporates the arts, helps students to learn.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"It should come as no surprise to us that children - and adults - learn in different ways and that we can use different learning styles and different kinds of intelligences to help children achieve their greatest potential. While there are a number of different ways in which the idea of multiple intelligence can be used to provide classroom instruction, one of the most powerful may be to integrate the concept of multiple intelligence and the praxis of art education. Participating in the arts - music, dance, and visual art - helps children learn not only about the arts themselves but also about a wide range of other subjects."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide examples of companies that engaged in some form of earnings management between 1992-2001 and identify which of Levitt?s reporting illusion categories they illustrate. The reporting illusions identified by Levitt are as follows: ?big bath restructuring charges?; creative acquisition accounting; ?cookie jar? reserves; ?immaterial? misapplications of accounting principles; and premature recognition of revenue.

From the Paper
""Big bath restructuring" charges are when large charges associated with company restructuring occur to help companies clean up their balance sheet. Companies do this when earnings take a major hit, thinking that Wall Street will look beyond a one-time loss and focus then only on future earnings (Levitt 1998). "Creative acquisition" accounting is when a company classifies an ever-growing portion of the acquisition price of a merger as "in process" research and development so the amount can be written off as a one time charge removing any future earnings drag (Levitt 1998). Also done is the creation of large liabilities or future operating expenses to protect future earnings done under the mask of an acquisition (Levitt 1998). What Levitt termed as "cookie jar reserves" is when a company uses unrealistic assumptions to estimate liabilities for things like warranty costs, loan losses or sales returns (1998). In effect, this stashes accruals into a cookie jar when can be raided when needed in the bad times."
