Abstract
This paper is a brief summary of the safety innovations in the sport of high-speed formula one racing. There is an emphasis on the 1955 accident at the Le Mans track that proved the need to enforce safety standards and to "scale" the performance of the cars. Safety measures were taken to bank and widen tracks, to protect the stands, and within the bodies of the cars. Modern formula one racing is considered quite safe and has returned to countries that had originally banned it after the accident at Le Mans.

"Corporate sponsorship of events, especially sports, has become a commonplace marketing communications tool. Around the world, marketers are using a wide range of sporting events - some of which may not even fit the classical definition for sports - are receiving billions of dollars in sponsorship money. The most sponsorship money, of course, goes to the most popular sports and today, the Formula One racing series is one of the most televised sporting championships in the world, representing a growing multi-billion dollar global industry. Some of the marketing techniques that have gone hand-in-hand with such sponsorship has resulted in mixed reviews from consumer advocates and governmental policymakers, but just about everyone agrees that there is a lot of money to be made and everyone, if would seem, wants some of it."

World Formula One Championships, 2008.
This paper covers the abject failure of Formula One to take hold in the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines why Formula One racing has not succeeded in the US and examines the effects that it has on the attempts by global advertisers and FISA to create a truly global sponsorship platform. The paper makes the case that Formula One racing will not be successful in the United States in the future, despite the successful globalization efforts of many of its sponsors. It also demonstrates that F1's failure to capture the US imagination will result in a gradual decline in the importance of the sport to global commercial sponsors (although not for global governmental partners).

Recent Problems with the US
Conclusion: Making Formula One Relevant for the US Market
From the Paper
"Coming to the United States: Benefits for the Participants
The rewards of extending Formula One1 to the US are clear. Although comprising only 5% of the world population, the US accounts for 30% of global GNP (Julius 2005) . Many of the world's largest and most-successful multinationals are headquartered in the US. And the US is the largest car market in the world (Roberts 2006). The potential for sponsorship should exist both inside and outside the US' borders: from multinational companies already sponsoring F1 teams that wish to extend their marketing reach in the sport to the US, to companies (like AT&T) that are headquartered in the US that would like to extend their brand recognition in an effective way to the rest of the world."

Abstract
This paper explores the initial controversy caused by Nestle Company and other multinational companies' marketing of baby formula to impoverished nations. The paper looks at the pamphlet, "The Baby Killer", which raised public awareness about the problem of how the baby formula was being marketed and the resulting infant deaths and looks at Nestle's response to the pamphlet. The paper also examines the consequences of the pamphlet in terms of how private voluntary organizations and international agencies have subsequently been able to influence the way companies do business in Third World nations, as well as the continuing controversy concerning predatory marketing in Third World countries.
From the Paper
"The story of the Nestle Baby Formula Controversy begins almost three decades ago with the publication of a pamphlet called ?The Baby Killer? in 1974 by Mike Muller and War on Want, a London-based activist group concerned with problems of the Third World (Akhter 1994). The pamphlet claimed that Third World babies were dying because their mothers were feeding them infant formula that was being marketed by multinationals such a Nestle of Switzerland and United Kingdom?s Cow and Gate (Akhter 1994). The aftermath of the publication led to an international crisis for Nestle."

From the Paper
"The importance of safety precautions is extremely important in trying to maintain a safe and healthful research environment. When working with all extremely hot metals with your hands, gloves should be worn at all times. The temperatures of these metals or ?hot objects? absorb heat and could cause damage to the skin if touched. Without the use of gloves, hands can be severely burnt. One mistake or foolish act could cause much pain and suffering to students in the laboratory. People who do not handle hot objects carefully can get their nerves burnt off on their finger tips and could possibly never feel again. It is not worth taking a risk of not using gloves when applicable. Everyone wants to be safe in the laboratory so it is important to be aware and cautious. A safe laboratory is a safe life."

Abstract
This paper discusses the morality of Nestle's marketing tactics in promoting the use of infant formula in third world countries. Immanuel Kant?s theory of Act Utilitarian and John Rawls' Original Position are used to evaluate the morality of Nestle's marketing behavior.
From the Paper
"Corporate ethics and responsibilities are considered to be of utmost importance. Every level of the organization reflects the action of the community. An open door policy in an organization is considered to be good because it allows the employees, who are also members of society, to point the unjust actions of the organization. However, how and where do we draw the line of the perceived ?responsibilities? within a community? How can we determine whether an organization is acting within the boundaries of moral standards? To understand this author has taken into consideration the controversial issue of Nestl??s Infant Formula and its marketing tactics in the third world countries. The author uses Immanuel Kant?s theory of Act Utilitarian and John Rawls Original Position to argue whether Nestle is morally correct in its marketing practice or not."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
While the Financial Accounting Standards Board has favored expensing stock options since the mid-1990s, it has continued to allow businesses to recognize the expense in footnotes to financial statements as an alternate reporting method. Recent publicity around accounting fraud, executive abuses, "cooking the books," and other questionable business ethics has focused increasing attention on stock option plans in the United States. Prior to the introduction of the Black-Scholes formula, options investors determined a risk premium to hedge against major financial losses. According to the Black-Scholes formula, risk premiums are not necessary for investment in stock options because such premiums are already factored into the prices of stocks. This paper provides an overview of how the Black-Scholes formula can be used to help investors better understand the forces at play in making decisions about stock options, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"While Merton's research covered many areas of finance theory and economics, his innovations in option valuation has perhaps been his most influential to date (Bernstein, 2000). Prior to 1973, when Black and Scholes published their precedent-making formula, determining the value of stock options was considered extremely risky and highly difficult because of the nature of options, which are essentially agreements that give investors the right to either buy or sell an asset at some fixed time in the future (Crum & Goldberg, 1998)."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the AIDA formula, a useful tool in advertising that assists marketers in writing advertisements that produce fruitful results. It also explains how marketers maximize their marketing potential with the help of AIDA while also exploring the psychological patterns of consumer behavior.
From the Paper
"Contrary to common believe, the purpose of a headline is not merely to promote a product or to represent a company. Its main purpose is to arouse curiosity and compel the reader to read the advertisement in its entirety. Thus, the headline is often regarded as ?the ad for the ad?.
Statistics say that marketers have an average of seven to ten seconds to capture the reader?s attention."

The Pascal's Triangle, 2004.
This paper discusses the life of Blaise Pascal and Pascal's Triangle.
1,210 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the mathematical formula known as "Pascal's Triangle" was simultaneously discovered centuries before Pascal by the Chinese and the Persians; it was even mentioned by Omar Khayyam centuries before Pascal. Pascal, however, one of the world's most famous mathematicians, was the first "modern" mathematician to realize the true potential of the formula and apply it. The author points out that Pascal's Triangle contributed to the understanding of probabilities, which led to the development of "average gain" or "probable gain" formulas that are still used extensively in business and industry. The paper relates that there is one problem with Pascal's formula: as the numbers increase, the triangle takes much longer to solve, and the formula becomes ungainly, but mathematicians have learned to cope with the formula and have created alternates that let them work with the numbers more effectively. Formula included.
From the Paper
"The mathematical formula known as "Pascal's Triangle" has long been attributed to the great mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal, who lived in France during the 17th century. Pascal only lived to be thirty-nine years old, but during his lifetime, he made significant achievements in mathematics and philosophy, and may be most well known for the mathematical formula of Pascal's Triangle, which he did not invent, but has long received credit for inventing. Pascal was a bright child, who created the first known type of automatic calculator at the age of nineteen, and invented the modern-day barometer before he turned thirty-one."

Matthew?s Use of Isaiah as Prophecy, 2003.
Five of Matthew's "formulaic passages" are unique because they are taken directly from the book of Isaiah, in this paper, the writer analyzes 5 passages taken from Isaiah's pages.

Abstract
Matthew?s text contains around sixty allusions and citations to the words of the Old Testament within its pages, of which the writer examines ten in this paper. Ten of Matthew?s references to the Old Testament are enclosed in a category of their own; they are referred to as the ?formulaic passages.? The writer focuses on Matthew?s use of Isaiah (passages from Isaiah compose half of Matthew?s formulaic quotations and the writer focuses on five of them: 1:22-23; 3:3; 4:13-16; 8:17; and 12:17-21) as prophecy. It begins with a textual analysis of these passages and then provides an observation of Matthew?s theology of fulfillment through use of the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Matthew 1:22-23 is the first of the formulaic quotations that I will introduce and is probably the quotation that offers the most debate. Here, Matthew quotes from Isaiah 7:14 to show how Jesus fulfills prophecy because he is born of a virgin and named Emmanuel. The passage reads: ?All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ?Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,? which means, ?God is with us?? (Matt. 1:22-23). However, M. Eugene Boring in the New Interpreter?s Bible, points out that the context of Isaiah?s passage was God?s promise to Judah of salvation from the threat of the approaching Syrio-Ephriamitic War ?before the child of a young woman who was already pregnant would reach the age of moral discernment,? adding that as a symbol of hope, the child was to be given the name Emmanuel, ?God is with us? (Boring, 135). Boring makes the important argument that Matthew misunderstood the Hebrew translation of the word ?almah (correctly translated as young woman) as virgin (or referring to virginal conception) (135). Boring also notes the importance in the tense of Isaiah?s passage. The conception is not meant to be seen as an event in the future, instead it is directed towards Isaiah?s own time and context (135). Robert Horton Gundry in his book The Use of the Old Testament in St. Matthew?s Gospel, however, would disagree with Boring. Gundry believes that all commentators who fail to see the prediction of a ?miraculous birth of the Messiah in Is. 7:14 neglect to establish one of two things which must be established for those views to stand? (Gundry, 226). Gundry then proceeds to delve into his own argumentative literary analysis of the passage. He begins, ?First, if the ?almah is a virgin, she will lose her virginity, conceive, and bear? meaning that if the young woman is in fact a virgin, she will not be much longer. However, if the woman were married or marriage was contemplated before the conceiving and birth, the text would be expected to say ?ishah or wife (Gundry, 226). The text's tense also suggests that the pregnancy has already begun, so therefore the conception and birth of the child must take place before or without the young woman's becoming ?ishah (226-227). He continues, ?Second, if marriage is not contemplated, ?almah is used in the sense of a young married woman.? He concludes, ???Almah refers to a mature young woman of marriageable age, but unmarried and presumably virgin unless otherwise stated? (Gundry, 227). Gundry therefore disagrees with M. Eugene Boring and concludes that Matthew correctly interpreted Isaiah?s passage. Given Gundry and Boring?s separate arguments, are we to say that Matthew interpreted Isaiah correctly or incorrectly? And how would the answer to this question effect Matthew?s use of Isaiah as prophecy? This raises an interesting and likewise important question about the impact of Matthew?s correct and/or incorrect interpretations of the Old Testament (such as Isaiah) that will be addressed later."

Abstract
This paper begins with a general definition of privatization and then takes a look at the various types of privatization and formulas for implementing the privatization of government operations. The paper also evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the types and methods for privatization and takes a look at the most hotly debated privatization issues. The paper concludes that privatization is beneficial to the economy and lists which types of privatization are the most effective.
From the Paper
"The major flaw in the competition prescription is that government has been following the theory for many years, with little success and much failure. Every major policy initiative launched by the Federal government since WWII has been managed through public-private partnerships. This includes programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, environmental cleanup, antipoverty programs, job training programs and interstate highways. Rather than solving government problems and making things more efficient, the resulting problems have fueled the current debate over privatization and given government critics fuel for their arguments. Privatization in the last three decades has resulted in waste, fraud and abuse in government programs, and the government's private partners have often been involved in greed, corruption and criminal activity. At the same time, government has had weak management for detecting and correcting these problems."

Financial Derivatives, 2005.
This paper discusses two topics relating to financial derivatives: The Black-Scholes valuation formula and credit derivatives.
3,040 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Black-Scholes method is a very famous method for the valuation of an equity share and other variables related to the value of an equity share in the future months. The author points out that the key characteristics needed for the Black-Scholes formula are the price and price volatility of the underlying stock, coupled with the available rate of return on a risk free stock, under the assumption that trading in the concerned stock, along with the ability for exercise of the option, is continuous and unrestricted. The paper relates that credit derivatives are mechanisms for the credit institutions to separate the credit risk from their loans and treat market risk as a separate category so that their pricing efficiency could be more competitive and the concerned organizations could be more competitive in the market.
From the Paper
"One can even buy securities at low prices on a forward basis. Generally, these are used in a manner similar to bonds which have a benchmark of comparable maturity. Thus, a bank may buy from an investor an option on the credit spread of a BBB-rated corporate bond which has a maturity after 5 years. For this, a premium will have to be paid. At the same time, the bank will have the right to sell the bond to the investor at a certain strike price. This strike price is in terms of a difference with treasury notes, and if the actual spread on the date of maturity of the deal, is more than the strike rate specified, then the option will not be used. If the actual difference is higher, then the bond may be purchased."
