From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

Abstract
This paper explains the fact that Madame Walker, a millionaire who laid the foundation of America's first black plutocratic dynasty, is certainly incredible because she came from poverty, was orphaned at the age of six, and had no formal education. Walker's story is a fairy-tale that inspired an entire generation of black Americans to think beyond their limitations and to have faith in the future. The author points out that Walker created a market niche for black hair-straightening products by creating the amazing "Wonderful Hair Grower" and 23 other products, with annual gross earnings as high as $276,000 in 1917, employing around 3,000 employees, most of whom were females. The paper relates that a documentary film titled, "Two Dollars and a Dream," by Stanley Nelson, chronicles the life and struggles of Walker, the grande dame of personal hair care service and a source of inspiration for millions of women around the world.
From the Paper
"Walker had developed a strict code of conduct for women which was meant to empower females especially blacks. There was a respectable uniform that they were made to wear, consisting of white blouses and long black skirts. These uniforms helped in identification of Walker employees, these salespersons thus became a symbol of entrepreneurship and success for others in the downtrodden black areas. These uniforms also helped lure other females to the workforce and this helped in revolutionizing the way black women saw themselves and their future."

L.L. Bean, Inc., 2004.
This paper discusses the marketing case of the L.L. Bean Company, which operates on three channels, including catalog, Internet, and retail stores.
2,300 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that L.L. Bean experienced a slight decline in growth because of increasing competition and other market forces, which requires more research about the existing business to decide the proper strategies. The author points out that L.L. Bean's emphasis on customer service sets it apart from some other catalog companies and helps in its marketing. The paper stresses that inventory management is a key issue that must be addressed because goods now are shipped ready for the direct channel and not for the retail channel; therefore, a dual flow system in which the goods are sent ready-for-sale to retail centers would eliminate time and costs for a considerable savings of about $.95 a unit.

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

Abstract
The thesis of this paper contends that internet sales of L.L. Bean and Land's End have impacted their apparel market. The paper attempts to demonstrate this thesis by examining the sales record, corporate image, and customer relationships of both companies since commencing with a web presence.
From the Paper
"In order to determine the degree to which L.L. Bean and Lands? End have been successful in further evolving and establishing their traditional catalog and retail store customer base to the online shopping world, one measure have success may be evidence of customer satisfaction in addition to customer purchases. According to Hill (2002), when attempting to determine the degree to which customers are satisfied with an online shopping experience, the best measure of customer satisfaction is the likelihood that a customer will return to the site to shop again. While some have suggested that customer relationships are best understood by examining a group of attributes, including use of email and other channels to connect with the company, the real indicator of customer satisfaction is the degree to which they will make online purchases from the company on a repeat basis."

From the Paper
"Medical professionals each day must make life-and-death choices about patient care, best estimates regarding diagnosis, difficult decisions about new treatments, and a wide variety of other decisions regarding the welfare of patients. Often, these decisions are to be made under conditions of stress, with little time available for considering the options. In other cases, decisions are made based on the best available data, and this data may be flawed, with errors that may not be revealed for years. In such an atmosphere, ethical dilemmas are bound to be a constant issue. Charles L. Bosk in Forgive and Remember: Managing Medical Failure (1979) and Roberta J. Apfel and Susan M. Fisher in To Do No Harm: DES and the Dilemmas of Modern Medicine (1984) examine different aspects of the ethical dilemmas facing the medical establishment today and consider the responsibility..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.
From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the relationships between family members in "The Great Santini", directed by L.J. Carlino. The family in the movie is dominated by the father, Bull Meecham, who is himself ruled by the military and by a military view of life. The paper looks at Meecham's relationship with his spouse and with his son, Ben and daughter, Mary Ann and examines how their family life is paralleled to an army platoon.
From the Paper
"The family unit consists of individuals, but they have to deal with the other members of the group and alter some of their natural behavior to do so. Ben is reshaped in his father's image whether he wants to be or not, while Mary Anne rebels more than does Ben and yet to little avail in the period of the film. The two smaller children are not given that much attention, but there is no reason to believe they would not follow the same path if their father lived long enough. The unit is shaped, defined, and kept together by the power of the father, even if some resent this. Lillian is more nurturing on her own, but she also reduces her own participation on some level and becomes an observer when Meecham is around."

Abstract
This paper examines a wide range of the issues associated with gifted education. It looks at the gifted programs available, the criticisms of these programs, the difficulties faced by children deemed to be gifted, some of the factors that may affect gifted children, and some of the more promising options and strategies available for working with gifted children.
From the Paper
"Gifted education programs, often referred to as GATE (gifted and talented education), range from providing accommodations within the regular classroom to clustering all of the gifted students into a tracked program. Many are surprised to learn that gifted education programs fall under the special education umbrella. It is designed to meet the special needs of a specific group that, in spite of their innate talents, often flounder in the regular classroom. However, some argue that gifted programs siphon the top performers from the other classrooms, leaving the regular programs devoid of positive role models. The argument continues that while the gifted students receive extra funding, enriched curriculum, and the best teachers, the regular program students are stuck with watered down curriculum and low expectations. This brings us to the classic nature versus nurture question on what sets apart a gifted child from a ?regular? child. Educators must understand the internal and external influences on the state of being gifted and the resulting implications for instruction."

Abstract
This paper addresses the ideas of gifted education and how it came about, starting with Alfred Binet and Lewis Terman's IQ test theories. Giftedness is defined in terms of both academic qualities and affective/social needs. Then, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and Benjamin Bloom's revised taxonomy are defined as ways of structuring questioning and learning in the classroom. Finally, several general teaching strategies are listed and described as ways for teachers to address the needs of the gifted.

Differentiation Techniques
Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"In any subject area, teachers can differentiate for gifted students through the use of centers. In addition to whole-class instruction for topics most students are unfamiliar with, centers provide independent activities that each student can pursue at his or her own pace. Teachers differentiated the centers with books of various levels, different prompts to reading materials, modified assessments, multiple levels of questioning, and more or less time at individual centers (Johnsen, 2003)."
