I recently had a class in sociology and we were discussing stereotypes that men give to woman and vice versa. When the word bitch came up, the female students in the class responded with the statement that they enjoy being called that name.

.... was so successful, he formed IBM to supply them. (Constable 11) The computers of those times worked with gears and mechanical computation. Unlike today¹s chip computers, the first computers were non-programmable, electromechnical machines. No one would ever confuse the limited power of those early machines with the wonder of the human brain. An example was the ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. It was a huge, room-sized machine, designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the military. (Constable 9) ENIAC was built with more than 19,000 vacuum tub .....

.... is used wisely then the causes of desertification may be stopped. Desertification is caused not only by nature but also by human factors (over-grazing, poor irrigation, deforestation, and over-cultivation) all of which are preventable.

Fertilizers and pesticides applied to turf on golf course greens and fairways do not contaminate ground water or air if management practices that minimize detrimental environmental impacts are used, according to the results of a simulation study conducted by Marylynn Yates, Environmental Microbiology and Ground Water Quality Specialist at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). Management practices in the study included nitrogen fertilizer applied once every 2 weeks as sulfur-coated urea or urea at rates of 1.0 and 0.5 lb N/1,000 ft2 per month to the green and fa .....

.... must also use technology to improve the educational process instead of simply applying it to existing structures. School systems often consider acquiring an enterprise computer network, but justify its purchase by applying it to routine administrative tasks, or take period by period attendance. Although these tasks are important, they only represent a small part of what technology can do for an educational institution. Technology must go beyond just keeping attendance, it must focus on keeping students interested and productive. "Curriculum improvement is the best strat .....

.... CD’s that are not listened to anymore, that old toy gotten as a kid, things like that. These items are great to sell to make some extra money, but they are a one time sale item, meaning once they are sold, they are gone and so is the chance at a recurring income.
