...History of Oxford University Oxford University was a boy’s only school founded in 872. It was founded when Alfred the Great met some monks and had a scholarly debate with them. Although the school was founded in 872, teaching didn’t really start until 1096 when Henry II forbade students from attending the University of Paris. Over time, new colleges opened within the university and allowed more students to study what they wanted. Included in the university were 38 colleges and 6 private halls. The small number of students in each college allows for specific attention to the students (www.ox.ac.uk). Every school was built for more students to study at their will. The professors at these colleges included extremely talented men that came to teach students the wonders of things such as math and science. Over the years, this school has made very little changes but now includes new difficulties and rules. Oxford University remained an all-boys school for a very long time. Women were first accepted into other colleges at Oxford in 1920. In 1878, academic halls were established for women. They allowed them to sit in on different lectures and help them study anything they wished. They wanted to promote the higher education of women, so beginning in 1879 they opened women only schools as a part of the university. Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville were both opened in 1879, followed by St. Hugh’s in 1886, St. Hilda’s in 1893, and St. Anne’s in 1952. These 5 schools eventually let in...

...Who wrote the works of Shakespeare? Certainly it was Shakespeare, but people have doubted Shakespeare as the true author as early as the 18th century. They began to consider the true author of Shakespeare’s plays and poems. Since the 1920s Edward de Vere has been the most popular alternative candidate proposed for the authorship of Shakespeare’s works. Edward de Vere, was the Earl of Oxford in 17th century. He was the Queen Elizabeth’s principal minister, a writer and a lyric poet. He is the most popular claimant for obvious reasons – he was highly educated, tremendously aristocratic, upwardly mobile, and well-versed in country life. After the death of Edward de Vere’s father, he became a ward of Queen Elizabeth and received an excellent education in the household of her principal advisor, Sir William Cecil. According to a curriculum in Cecil, Edward de Vere’s daily studies included dancing, French, Latin, writing and drawing, cosmography, penmanship, riding, shooting, exercise and prayer. He showed a prodigious talent for scholarship from his early years. Edward de Vere graduated from Cambridge University at age of 14; he was awarded an honorary MA by Cambridge on a Royal progress. He earned a Master of Arts of 16, and then attended Gray’s Inn to study law. “The merchant of Venice”, one of the Shakespeare’s plays discusses law. One of the important people who influence his early studies is his maternal uncle Arthur Golding, an officer in the Court of Wards under Cecil. He...

...MGT342-001 Oxford Plastics Company Assignment Kenneth A. Goddard Row 2 Sam Henderson is the Beatty plant manager for Oxford Plastics and is the man in charge of finding a way for all interested parties to be happy and satisfied with the new expansion to the current plant located in Beatty. There are a plethora of people and organizations which will be directly impacted by the addition of this new state-of0the-art color lab and paint shop. This addition will add lots of new jobs, help the business to stay competitive with a fast paced global market, and more importantly bring the Beatty plant into full compliance with updated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. This expansion necessitates Oxford Plastics purchase 75 adjacent acres of land but the preferred site is causing some definite problems because it would necessitate the destruction of several 400-500 year old beech trees which have become something of a landmark and could be a source of future tourism revenue to the community while also being a focus of May Pinelas, the Chairman of Historic Beatty, and the Save our Future Foundation which has thwarted at least one previous project. Playing the role of Henderson I have decided there is a way that everyone can come out of this situation happy and looking good. First of all Oxford Plastics has to have this expansion and using the site that the upper managers want is important to me and my career. Pacifying the environmentalist and the community around...

...addressed us in English. I held in my hand our confusing travel directions. We asked the man if Zagreb was straight ahead. He shrugged, and told us, “There is only one road in Yugoslavia.” It was not long after our wedding. When I finished my initial year at Oxford, I flew home to marry Kirby, who had been my girlfriend in college. We had met on a blind date. When my college roommate asked his fiancée to fix me up, she asked, “How tall is he?” Kirby was pretty, intelligent, classy, and six foot one. I was only an inch taller, and found her height exotic. We had a good time together, sophomore and senior, and dated again … and again … and again. One thing led to another. That year I spent in England, we missed each other. We wrote letters back and forth, and by mail arranged to get married. From London I flew to New York, 17 hours on a Lockheed Constellation with its triple tail. Our reunion was happy and frantic with preparation. After the September ceremony we had no time for a honeymoon, but took immediate passage to Southampton on the Queen Elizabeth. As a wedding present, my grandfather Hall had ordered us an English automobile, a tiny green Morris Minor that we were to pick up in London, and after Oxford ship back to the United States. From the dealer’s, we headed out into heavy traffic. Driving on the left-hand...

Application of this technology would make powerful pocket PCs an affordable reality for the public. As part of M-Core’s initial capitalization, Silatel donated a research facility in New Oxford, a small New England town. The facility sits on a picturesque four-acre plot near a lake, surrounded to the North and East by legally protected wetlands. Silatel believed the area’s beauty would attract and inspire top research talent, which could help ensure the venture’s success. M-Core management, however, believes that success hinges on the development of a 90-acre research and development campus that includes office, laboratory and research space. Plans also call for artistic landscaping, walkways and green areas, an open-air design that M-Core management believes will relax and inspire campus workers. To the West and South of the New Oxford facility are older homes, most built prior to World War II, some as early as the 1800s. The residents of New Oxford are proud of their homes and take great pride in maintaining these impressive, historic properties, many of which boast beautiful gardens. In fact, each year the town sponsors a garden contest with a $500 top prize. To move development along with minimal delay, M-Core has made generous offers to these residents whose homes sit on the 86 acres surrounding...

...Oxford Plastics Company manufactures high-quality plastics and resins for many different uses. Jobs through Oxford Plastics were a major part of the economy as well as played an important role in the state by employing about 3,000 community members with high paying factory jobs. With strong support from the community and the state, Oxford performed well since they were perceived by the larger environment to have a legitimate right to exist (pg.188). The idea of investment of normative forces (pg. 192) for a state-of-the-art color lab and paint shop was explored for a better and faster way of matching colors for customers was being considered for implementation within two years, if agreed upon by interorganizational collaboration. Entering the new market for Oxford depended on a multitude of external factors playing against their favor within time constraints. Given the ideal location for the new factory was on 25 acres of several 400-500 year old beech trees and outside their current industrial zoning boundary, many coercive forces were in place. Also, with a non-profit ready to sell the land and the other organization moving slowing on agreement, tight schedules were put into place allowing time for the EPA to set new regulations before the two years and force Oxford to stop using their old process and ultimately shut down the factory. Coercive forces such as these forced Oxford to operate under restrictions and possibly adopt changes that might increase homogeneity and limit...

Holding such a dominant position in a market, this legal right, Monopoly - as distinguished from sellers in a competitive market - arbitrarily decides the price of their commodity unlikely being a price taker as it dose as a seller in such a competitive industry. Alternatively, these monopolists are inclined to determine the quantity of goods and services sold at a profit-maximized price, leaving it to consumers to consider how many products are needed to purchase. Due to these monopolistic phenomena around the world, many arguments about the merits and harms to society have been...
