While constructing my website my goal was to provide information to the public about affirmative action without swaying or giving biased to one side or another. Affirmative action is an emotional and delicate issue in our country and those who are for or against affirmative action usually have some sort of emotional attachment towards their decision, because of this constructing a website can then be very tricky. I carefully chose what sources I wanted to use for my website and meticulously reviewed
The impact of exploration-exploitation is unpredictable and there is no general rule how to trade-off between these two learning in dynamic environments (Laureiro-Martínez, Brusoni, & Zollo, 2009). It is difficult to integrate both exploration and exploitation simultaneously to improve efficiency in short terms and innovation in long-term as different firm has a different way of thinking and routines for exploration compared to those needed for exploitation (Gupta et al., 2006). Understanding how
Too Much Information? The "pervasive, invasive information infrastructure...is as much a part of our lives as religion was for medieval surfs" (Tetzeli 1994, p. 60). But is it too much? We've all seen the mind-numbing statistics about the exponential growth of information and of technological means of distributing and accessing it. However, some people question whether the problem really is one of overload. One source of the problem is actually the multiplicity of communication channels. Unlike
Research on Peace Agreements Peace agreements are the milestone of peace processes. Once the parties to a conflict decide to sit in the negotiation table with the purpose of signing a peace agreement there is reason to believe that they are committed to find a resolution to the ongoing conflict. Peace agreements bring together conflicting parties on the negotiation table. At the same time they specify policy interventions which deal with conflict issues as perceived and presented by each party

A Humboldt County judge ruled today there was enough evidence for Marcia Kitchen to stand trial for her alleged role in a 2016 fatal hit-and-run that left her daughter and daughter’s friend dead. Judge John Feeney said there was sufficient cause to believe Marcia Kitchen might have been drunk when she allegedly struck the 14-year-old girls on Eel River Drive near the Fortuna city limits. Feeney held her to on one count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and driving under the influence
In December 2009, the world was shocked by Tiger Woods. News was released to the public of a scandal regarding Woods cheating on his wife with numerous women.

More importantly, in order for Woods to keep his sponsors and save his reputation, he needed to apologize to his sponsors and family.

This literacy review aims to discuss why it is important for teachers to maintain responsive and reciprocal relationships with the parents and whānau of their students. The three articles that will be reviewed and synthesised are Collaborating with Parents/Caregivers and Whānau (Fraser, 2005), Successful Home-School Partnerships: Report to the Ministry of Education (Bull, Brooking & Campbell, 2008) and Strengthening Responsive and Reciprocal Relationships in a Whānau Tangata Centre: An action research
Bullying is a serious occurrence that is plaguing youth all over the globe. Bullying, a form of aggression, can be experienced in four forms: physical, verbal, social or cyber (Oh & Hazler, 2009; Trach, Hymel, Waterhouse & Neale, 2010). However, all bullying is composed of three specific concepts—causing their victims harm, possessing greater power then their victims and repetition (Oh & Hazler, 2009). Read into the definition of “bullying” and one would simply identify a bully and a victim yet
Two decades of research on the integration of ICT in education has shown that although changes are taking place to integrate ICT effectively into teaching and learning, the changes are not substantial enough to bring about the required change at the required pace (Cowie & Jones, 2005; Darling-Hammond, 2005; Ehman et al., 2005; Jimoyiannis & Komis, 2007). Furthermore, the prospects of using ICT in education has been debated, researched and speculated on. The debate has changed a little, namely that
Today mountain biking has exploded in high school all over the United States, the idea of “Strong body, strong mind, strong character” radiating out with the wave of popularity. This is the motto for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), a mountain biking league founded in 2009 by Matt Fitzinger, a math teacher in North California who noticed that there weren't very many teen racing categories (Parkshipride). He decided to start a team of kids from his school and get a hold of

Analysis of the US-China Trade The U.S. trade deficit has risen more or less steadily since 1992. In the second quarter of 2004, the trade deficit relative to GDP surpassed the 5 percent mark for the first time. Many economists already considered trade deficits above 4 percent of GDP dangerously high. The fear is that continued growth in this external imbalance of the U.S. economy will ultimately spook overseas investors. http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2004/09/b193700.html The United States
Obsessed with beauty, the American culture seemingly values attractiveness over intelligence. Different media outlets serve to reinforce certain societal feminine ideologies (i.e. thin, tall, young, beautiful, etc.). The overwhelming pressure to conform to cultural standards of beauty and the importance of attaining these ideals of thinness and perfection are commonly displayed in advertising. However, in 2004 Dove launched a campaign that promised to redefine such stereotypes. Researchers agree
The significant level of outsourcing programs used across all business sectors is well documented in the literature (Bender 1999; Quinn 2000; Dun and Bradstreet 2000; Klaas, McClendon and Gainey 2001). Past research has progressed along several paths. First, some researchers have focused on motivations and reasons for outsourcing activities (Conner and Prahalad 1996; Greer et al. 1999; Sinderman 1995; Mullin 1996; Grant 1996; Frayer Scannell and Thomas 2000). According to this perspective, the global

Derby Day 1913 There she committed the only successful suffragette suicide by being trampled under the hooves of the Kings' horse. I have looked at many different accounts of what actually happened on the day, including newspaper reports and a video, and although they all say Emily did commit suicide, some contradict each other and disagree on things such as: · The position of the King's horse during the race. · How she got onto the race course · When Emily actually died · And
In this essay, we will examine the 1913 Lockout and how the Lockout influenced the future landscape of an Independent Ireland. We will look at the prelude to the Lockout and the outcomes of the Lockout. We will trace the issues that brought about the Lockout and we will analyse how the Lockout steered Ireland in a direction it could not change. Throughout the United Kingdom, the divisions between the labour movement and employers had deepened greatly in the early years of the twentieth century. Strikes
Mentoring Like most institutions in a world of change, the age-old practice of mentoring is being influenced by new forms of work, technology, and learning. Mentoring is typically defined as a relationship between an experienced and a less experienced person in which the mentor provides guidance, advice, support, and feedback to the protégé (Haney 1997). Mentoring is a way to help new employees learn about organizational culture (Bierema 1996), to facilitate personal and career growth and development
