Abstract
Long before the events of September 11th made Islam a topic of debate in the Presidential elections and Arabic one of the 'must learn' languages for college graduates wishing to study international relations or enter the military, Martin Lings wrote a book upon the life of the prophet who founded the third major religious tradition of the modern world, after Judaism and Christianity in chronological fashion. This paper shows how Lings bases his book upon early sources. Although his biography evolves in a story-like fashion, told in modern English, he is anxious at all times to cross-reference all of his sources with early and contemporary accounts of the leader, as well as provide a modern coherence and 'gloss' upon the chronology of Muhammad's life for Western readers. The paper, in particular, discusses the locations Medina and Mecca in Lings' book.
From the Paper
"The spiritual power of this pilgrimage should not be underestimated. It has affected the spiritual development of many Muslims up to this present day. Malcolm X, shortly before his death in 1964, said that the pilgrimage to Mecca in Arabia helped him see that Caucasian individuals could be good, as he worshiped with blue-eyed and blond haired Muslims, Arabs, and Africans. Mecca has become the holy site of Islam, although historically Medina is equally important, as it provided a consolidating base to generate followers, solidify his political following of authority and leadership, and to rally support against his opposition in his home city of Mecca."

"EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION: SITE-BASED MANAGEMENT
Concern for the quality of the public school education that today's students are receiving has given rise to a mind-boggling list of concepts intended to reform our schools. The list includes a bottom-to-top reorganization of management, often referred to as school-based management (SBM).
School-based management (SBM) is a "strategy to improve education by transferring significant decision-making authority from state and district offices to individual schools" (Myers & Stonehill, 1993, p. 1). The traditional participants in the educational process, specifically, principals, teachers, students and parents, are given "greater control over the education process by giving them responsibility for decisions about the budget, personnel, and the curriculum" (Myers & Stonehill, 1993, p. 1)."

"Muhammad: His Life Based on Earliest Sources" by Martin Lings, 2001.

From the Paper
"Martin Lings in his book Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources provides a new look at the life of the prophet Muhammad, his life, the origins of his teachings, and the nature of the religion he founded based on Arabic sources from the eighth and ninth centuries, sources not previously analyzed by scholars. These sources were written by eyewitnesses to Muhammad and his era. The book is not written in the form of a scholarly treatise but more as a novelistic account, telling the story through an omniscient and unseen author who uses the accounts of real people to flesh out his story. He begins the story in ancient times, with the biblical account of the story of Abraham from the Book of Genesis. He then continues the story through various Arabic tribes leading to the time of Muhammad and to Muhammad himself."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at "needs-based" and "process-based" theories of motivation, focusing on the difference between the two.
According to the paper, there have been many attempts in the history of psychology to give an exact meaning to the concept of motivation. The paper concludes with the author's personal opinion of these theories.
From the Paper
"Other important needs-based theories of motivation have been developed by Mc Gregor -"Theory X and Theory Y", theory X stipulating that lower-order needs motivate individual behaviour and theory Y that higher-order needs motivate it-, Harzberg -"Two Factors Theory": presents a contrasting view on satisfaction and dissatisfaction- or Alderfer. The one presented by the latter scientist, named the ERG Theory classifies the core needs into three groups: existence needs - psychological and safety -, relatedness needs - mainly the desire to maintain inter-personal relationships - and growth needs, which consist in an intrinsic desire for personal development. Moreover, other three types of needs are also identified by McClelland: achievement - the need for competitive success -, affiliations - the need for friendly relationships with other people - and power, explained by the need to control the others.

The Life of Muhammad, 2005.
This paper discusses the events in the life of Muhammad in the early Islamic community from Mecca to Medina.
2,940 words (approx. 11.8 pages), 21 sources, MLA, £ 61.95

Abstract
The paper relates that Muhammad was a monotheist who preached against the polytheism of the Meccan religion. This aroused the hostility of the merchant leaders of his native city who derived their wealth from pilgrimages to Mecca and its surrounding cities. The author points out that the early Muslim community and its Prophet Muhammad believed that the people of the early Muslim community could trace their contract with Allah (Jehovah) back to the Jewish Patriarch Abraham; however, the Muslims believed that God commanded Abraham to sacrifice Ishmael instead of Isaac. The paper relates that it may not be an accident that the Qur'an has two distinct voices because, in Mecca, Muhammad was a rebel but in Medina he was head of state; the early Meccan verses, which were those recited while his new religion was being formed, are concern mainly religious dogma; while as, in the Medina verses, Allah took a surprisingly detailed interest in the day-to-day problems of Muhammad's community.
From the Paper
"Few other religions sanction a man's beating a disobedient wife, as does the Qur'an. But other rules, such as his ban on a woman's being "inherited" as chattel by her late husband's eldest son, were decidedly progressive for the era and remained so relative to the West until the twentieth century. While Allah in his revelations to Muhammad limited to four the number of wives a man could take -- excluding God's Messenger, of course, who was permitted to marry for reasons of state and had at least nine wives (at least one of them a converted Jew) and a Christian concubine when he died -- he did not restrict the number of a man's concubines or slaves. (Slavery in Saudi Arabia was abolished de jure only in 1962). But Allah required that men treat their wives equally, that women retain their own wealth, and that they be permitted under certain conditions to ask a judge to order their husbands to divorce them (men could end marriages at will) -- all progressive measures compared to the practices of pre-Islmaic society, the jahiliyya."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of obesity as a disease affecting millions of people globally. Specifically, the paper investigates obesity in young adults or teenagers. The paper analyzes the effectiveness of familial influence on the overweight adolescent and compares this method of treatment to that of the effectiveness of school-based programs geared toward adolescents. The paper presents the 'Fit and Trim' program found in Singaporean schools as an example. This paper aims to establish that the best strategy to combat and prevent this disease for this age group begins at home with parental intervention and a change in family lifestyle.

From the Paper
"Obesity is a serious health issue for the individual physically and emotionally. One's weight is very much tied to his or her identity both personally and socially. It is very much an emotional issue. The media is constantly bombarding people of all age groups with the message of "Thin equals Beauty" and this remains true, especially for adolescents as most media is targeted at them in the forms of television, music, video games, magazines, card games, Internet, instant cell messaging and so on. These forms of media make it even more difficult for a message of healthy lifestyle to be dominant. This creates a society obsessed with beauty, attaining beauty and keeping beauty without any consideration of true love but only the threat of being labeled fat and ugly. This makes the implementation of a successful weight reduction program more difficult. It is clear, any intervention must be strong, persuasive and carefully thought out to remain affective and resilient to the pressure media feeds to society."

Abstract
This paper presents the basic forms and methods of accounting for cash accounting and accrual-based accounting and compares the two. It examines which form of accounting is more beneficial to specific sectors of the economy and looks at the advantages and disadvantages of each.
From the Paper
"In the cash basis of accounting, the business records are "cash in" (deposits to the bank account) called cash receipts, and "cash out" (checks) called cash disbursements. Cash receipts - Cash disbursement = Cash flow. Each month's cash flow is added to the preceding month's cash balance yielding the current month?s cash balance.
The cash basis of accounting is more likely to be used by service businesses than by retail or manufacturing businesses. Service businesses usually do not need equipment and can sell a service they perform with nothing more than their own hands and minds. Think of people who are lawyers, writers, public relations and advertising personnel, and accountants."

From the Paper
"Facebook is a social networking site that was once primarily targeted at the college and university student. For the past year the company has broadened its target market profile and become increasingly popular with professionals and businesses as well. Facebook earned revenues of between $100m to $150m during 2006 and the first part of 2007 primarily through an advertising partnership with Microsoft Corporation (Adegoke, 2007). Currently, Facebook is privately held and hence the difficulty in determining exact revenues. However, the company maintains in excess of 40m active account holders and receives in excess of 200k registration requests daily after just 3 years of existence (Adegoke, 2007). Facebook is highly successful and determined to continue to leverage its growing membership base and regular visitors in order to monetize its services."

Abstract
This paper discusses how web-based training is an extension of computer-based training which takes advantage of the immediacy of the World Wide Web and the ability to reach large numbers of people at the same time regardless of where they are located. It proposes a study on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees. Through an extensive literature review, it attempts to identify factors that contribute to either the success or failure of web-based training systems.

"An organization is a community. Social interactionists conceive a community as a social group, and that within the community as a social group, individuals develop both their own self-concept and individual identity through social interactions within the community structure (Levine, 1991). Identity refers to self-meanings in a role. Roles are shared norms applied by occupants of social positions. This development, according to social interactionists, allows a person to move from a personal perception of ?I? (the spontaneous self) to a personal perception of ?Me? (the social self), through a role taking behavior wherein the person assumes the role of the generalized other. Through this behavioral process, the person derives meanings from the nonverbal actions and verbal statements of significant others within the community structure."

Abstract
The primary focus of the proposed research study is not on the specifics of the technologies involved in web-based training, although the technology applied is of obvious importance to the training mission. Rather, the primary focus of the proposed study is on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees.

"Training is one of the most critical aspects of a company?s operations, yet it is also one of the most problematic. Companies, particularly large organizations, must develop ways to ensure that existing and new employees receive information that they need to perform their jobs at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner. Timing, however, is critical. The employees should not receive the information too soon or too late. If the former occurs, employees may forget the information, while in the latter event, a strong probability exists that employees will have already learned the material in a less effective manner.
Companies commit a significant portion of their resources to recruiting employees, and additional resources are invested in providing those employees with the tools necessary for them to perform their tasks. The environment of most organizations, however, is a dynamic one, and it is critical that individual employees be kept up to date on developments within their industry and their profession in order to help give the company a competitive edge (Davis, 1996). Companies use training in order to accomplish this outcome."

"Organizing For Successful School-Based Management
Introduction
Organizing For Successful School-Based Management by Wohlstetter, Van Kirk, Robertson, and Mohrman (1997), offers a summary of findings from interviews and data collected from over 400 people and 40 schools that had been operating under school-based management (SBM) for at least three years (vii). The authors identify schools as actively restructuring or struggling. Actively restructuring schools were found to employ two or more teaching and learning innovations (use of technology, educating all students, and integrated services) and were using SBM to improve school performance; struggling schools had one or none of the innovations. Actively restructuring schools had more conditions that support organizational learning and integrating..."

"In order for the chaplain to be used by God, the chaplain must rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance.
"Chaplains must have a good relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. A chaplain must allow the Holy Spirit to guide, teach, comfort, and protect in his or her own life. Having a good relationship with God enables the chaplain to help others. Sometimes the words the chaplain says to others will make the difference in life and death. Military people rely on the chaplain to guide them and to help them understand the promises of God."

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of constraint-based models for monitoring and predicting the applicable aspects of FMEA, depending on the specific requirements of the product tested and the environment(s) in which they are used. According to the paper, FMEA-based constraint modeling is proposed as an approach to customizing and tailoring the integration of FMEA standards to highly unique and specific production requirements. This paper specifically discusses constraint-based modeling and programming as a foundation for creating an FMEA-based constraint model.

"Successive prototype builds: Product managers determine a certain number of prototype cycles, and fix the dates for these cycles. Prototype cycle deadlines are met even if the prototype has shortcomings that require rectification. This rectification process takes place by the deadline of the next prototype cycle.
The final production line is used to produce the prototypes. While the engineering staff cannot produce a complete production line for the first prototype cycles, engineers manufacture the final prototypes completely on the line. This allows engineers to test the production line and the prototypes simultaneously."

Abstract
This paper researches the opportunity, execution, and design process for computer and internet-based training applications. It looks at strategies and techniques for technical training, the advantages to businesses of computer-based and Internet-based training, and the best methods for building and managing a multimedia, e-learning delivery system.
From the Paper
"Computer-based training (CBT) instruction is a diverse and rapidly expanding spectrum of computer technologies that can assist in teaching and learning particular skills or processes. In our modern society, the advantages provided by CBT enable bossiness?s to custom structure training procedures to their individual learner, and thereby reduce the time commitment, and expense of training classes. When an individual learner can learn at their own pace, without affecting the progress of teaching resources of an entire class, the learner becomes the master of his destiny. The learner can access CBT at their own pace, and often at various locations. The learner is free to use his or her own strength, and quickly proceed through exercises which they find simple, and spend more time on those lessons which do not fit well with the learner?s initial understanding."
