From the Paper
"There is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the market share of the product lines of the company. Similarly, there is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the sales that the company can hope to make using online retail concepts. For example, a market that has a large number of Internet users will have larger volume of online purchasers. At the same time however, the Internet can also offer individuals located at destinations that are very geographically apart an option to purchase products that might have otherwise not been available to them. Therefore, a customer in Taiwan could purchase a product from a store based in the U.S., U.K. or Australia without ever having to leave their homes."

From the Paper
"Some may feel that this type of criminal activity does not occur, but there is a concern that these people may be misinformed about what goes on when the stock market has difficulty. Instead, the belief of many is that stock market problems create the potential for much criminal activity and unethical conduct because many people feel that this type of behavior is the only way that they stand a chance of making back any of the money that they have lost when the stock market performs badly. Various strategies can be used, therefore, to keep the stock market strong, predict where it is headed, and keep the criminal activity to a minimum."

"Forecasting is the process of predictions a future event. For businesses they are used to predict production, inventory needs, personnel requirements and facilities needs. Time-series problems involve sequences of numbers (for example, the daily closing values of the stock market, EEG patterns of brainwave activity, or, as discussed in this paper, the value of stocks over time. Often the problem of interest is the prediction of some future value(s) in the sequence using only past values."

Online Star Newspaper: 27 April 2007
Printed Version
From the Paper
"When scrutinising advertisements in the two editions of the newspaper it is visible that the products and target markets were different based on the media being used. Despite that fact, advertisements are important to both versions of the newspaper. In terms of user friendliness, both newspaper versions have their problems and advantages, with the paper edition being part of a societal and historical habit, despite being more difficult to navigate compared to the electronic version. The electronic version tends to overcrowd the homepage, leading to confusion at times. Finally, interactivity is the element that best separates the two versions of newspaper that have been compared. The paper version is a classic that has been and will be around for a very long time; however, it cannot compete with the vast interactivity offered by the electronic version. Ultimately, online journalism adds a new and useful dimension to a profession that always has use for new forms of communication and information."

From the Paper
"Meanwhile, the coming of the new millennium has brought new and more challenging technologies. Different forms of communications such as Internet, mobile phones and SMS, Internet chat or MIRCs, and e-groups penetrated majority of the countries around the world. Communication through computer - generated networks became very visible. This enables any individual to talk with someone you cannot see in a face-to-face basis, to buy something and have it delivered without having to go out of your home, to research for any information with just one click on the Internet, or to meet new friends. Even on - line studies or distance education through computer - generated communication sprouted like mushrooms. More and more schools started to offer distance form of learning to accommodate students who, due to lack of time, opted to enroll in a much "scheduled-free" learning method. Furthermore, the idea of learning through online gave birth to online academic communities, as pioneered by Stanford University's Club Nexus. This academic community brings the students of the same preference closer to one another and at the same time broadens the students "world"."

Abstract
This paper relates the life, success, struggles and downfalls of Jesus Christ and Christianity to the birth, growth and struggles of internet retailing and how internet retailing has developed into the dynamic and popular means of modern day retailing.
From the Paper
"With roots tracing back as early as 1995, Internet Retailing has endured a Christ like life cycle over the last eleven years. Reflecting upon biblical texts describing the life of Jesus as well as reflecting upon the recent history of the American stock market, one can easily deduce the similarities in their lifelines. Jesus was born into a life entwined with much criticism. Although he was renowned for his good works, the rise of his stature invoked incessant criticisms. The negative labels placed upon Jesus, by his popular and powerful critics, gradually dismembered his faithful fold, ultimately leading to his death in 30 C.E. Ironically, it was his death that brought his resurrection and the world-wide recognition of his significance, and the significance of his message. Similar to the aforementioned life cycle of Jesus Christ, Internet Retailing emerged under a predominantly harsh critical scope that scrutinized its notably quick economic gains. With record setting gains and notoriety within the business world, web retailing took a violent turn for the worse in 2000. A powerful group of investors made a public outcry expressing their lack of faith in the businesses sustenance which ultimately produced a widely felt economic scare. The scare quickly led to the crash/death of the "Dot Com" industries in late 2000 and early 2001. Yet, because of this crash, the companies were enabled to better understand market trends, and since 2001, Internet Retailers are better equipped to provide a higher level of service to consumers and have the financial resources to handle the volatility of an economic downturn. This resurgence of web retailing has captivated today's business world and is now revered as America's economic messiah which will save our economy from its present war stricken market. By briefly contrasting the main idea of this critical analysis with a retrospective theological analysis of Christianity, this scholar has outlined the form in which this essay will be unfolded. By initially describing the essence of internet retailing, the reader's will be most aptly informed on the matter and therefore capable in understanding the impact web retailing has had on the U.S. economy over the last eleven years of its life-cycle, as well as where it is projected to take the international market in the latter years of its life-cycle."

"Online profiling may involve the collection of anonymous transactional data and it may also involve the merger of this click stream data with personally identifiable information such as name, address, telephone number, credit card number, social security number, email address, etc. (Sax, 1999) A click stream is the sequence of clicks or pages requested as a visitor explores a Web site. The click stream data collected may include information such as Web sites and Web pages visited, the time and duration of the visit, search terms typed in search engines' forms, and other queries, purchases, "click through" responses to advertisements, and the previous page visited (Mulligan, 1999)."

There were two variables, which included course flexibility and program flexibility."

Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The vast majority of people in the mental health community feel that there is a huge ethical burden that online therapists are required to bear. These ethics are really no different from the ethics that are in place at traditional practices. However, these ethics are more difficult to enforce because of the lack of physical contact that the therapist and the patient have. For this reason, psychologists must be given a clear description of the ethical challenges that they face and how they can be addressed. Carlson and Harvey (2003) assert that many organizations in the mental health arena have begun to address these issues and make them clear to practitioners."

Abstract
This paper discusses how MMORPGs provide an environment in which satisfying relationships can be built. However, the compatibility that players feel with others in the game may be artificially enhanced by game-based pre-selection. The paper further discusses how it is possible, also, that individuals are concealing information that may lead to other players drawing other conclusions about them, if that information was known. Research on MMORPG relationships is scarce, however, existing research shows that players experience greater emotional involvement in these games, rather than outside of them.

"Jason DesFlam is a husky young man with bright red hair, secured by a blue skullcap. He wears a silver chain-mail tunic, overlaid with a yellow doublet and leggings of red dragon scales. In Ultima Online, Jason is a powerful paladin warrior, capable of both armed combat and simple spell-casting. His blue ostard--a creature that is a combination of an ostrich and a lizard--is not the most powerful of creatures, but is a swift mount that possesses some combat skills of its own. Yet when Jason logs out in the inn, another identity emerges, a forty-five-year-old woman. No one in the game knows who "Jason" really is. They believe she fits the standard demographic of the game, a young man between the age of seventeen and twenty-four."

"Two features of video games have generated a renewal of interest by researchers, public policy makers, and the general public. First, the active role required by video games is seen as both beneficial and negative. It helps educational video games serve as invaluable teaching tools for motivational and learning process reasons. However, it also may make violent video games more hazardous than violent television shows or movies. In addition, the arrival of a new generation of violent video games resulted in large numbers of children and youths actively participating in entertainment violence that went way beyond what is available on television or in movies. Recent video games reward players for murdering citizens, police, and prostitutes, using guns, knives, flame throwers, swords, baseball bats, cars, and martial arts. Some include movie clips of strippers and drug deals. In some games, the player plays the hero, while in others he is the criminal."
