Abstract This paper reviews the study done by Cecil, Francis and Read. This study attempts to explain why those following the Atkins diet lost more weight, more body fat and achieve a higher level of caloric restriction than those on a more conventional diet. The study was carried out on a group of nine fasting male subjects in a two part paired experiment.
From the Paper "It was determined that, following intragastric ingestion of both the high-fat and the high-carbohydrate soup, baseline appetite ratings were suppressed, which would indicate no difference between the two food types. Furthermore, there were no differences in ratings of fullness, hunger ratings, or gastric emptying between the two soup types. This result would indicate that there was not a significant difference between the two soup types, when taken ingested by intragastric isocaloric infusion.
However, these results were significantly different when the soups were eaten physically. In the second experiment, the high-fat soup suppressed hunger, induced fullness, and slowed gastric emptying more than the high carbohydrate soup. Further, an energy intake test following each experiment showed that the high-fat soup reduced the amount of energy intake from foods eaten two hours after the high-fat soup. These results show that when taken orally, high-fat content food sources may provide orosensory, or taste, stimulation that causes different appetite and gastrointestinal responses. In other words, the taste stimulation caused by high-fat foods may result in feelings of increased fullness and satiety. "
Abstract This paper discusses and analyzes the historical case, "U.S vs. Cecil Price." The paper first describes the background of the 1964 case and those involved in it. It then discusses the ramifications of the case for civil rights in the state of Mississippi. The paper particularly looks at how this case was seen as a key to breaking the wall of segregation throughout the South.
From the Paper "The population of the country was reluctant to offering any kind of information regarding the killings; in fact, it was children who gave the investigators the most clues. The two agents used tactics such as the observation of the sheriff's behavior as he was under heavy suspicion but could not be directly linked to the murders. Although he did not crack, information soon came from inside the Klan. James Jordan, a member of the KKK came forward and was confronted with investigators during the course of five rough interviews. At the end he was aware that his only chance to avoid going to prison was to give the full story. In recent years there have been several speculations regarding the involvement of the white mob in support of FBI's investigation; soldiers of prominent mob families such as the Colombo family allegedly participated in revealing the whereabouts of the three victims."
Abstract This paper deals primarily with Rhodesian (modern-day Zimbabwe) politics in the 20th century, specifically that of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) and its ideology. Issues such as the role of ZANU, Cecil Rhodes and the British invasion, and the last one hundred years of Rhodesian history are considered, particularly focusing on the country's drive towards independence. Cecil Rhodes? confrontation with the Ndebele tribe, African resistance groups and their role in fighting for freedom, and Rhodesia's long history of British alliance are all discussed as subjects that help to answer the author's thesis. The main question the author tries to answer is: Was Ian Smith's government acting in good intention when declaring illegal independence from Britain?
From the Paper The road to freedom and development in modern day Africa has been a lengthy struggle for the continent's nations. Political negotiations, violent uprisings, and anti- European liberation movements were all employed by different African countries at various times, depending on how difficult achieving independence would be. For nations like Tanganyika, independence was obtained through less hectic means; as this country's primary nationalist movement (Tanganyika African National Union), led by Julius Nyere, won a decisive majority in the 1958 British parliamentary election. TANU's victory coupled with the support they received from several powerful white-settler politicians resulted in independence for this nation, ultimately constructed around a fair and non-racial constitution.
Abstract This paper discusses the article written by Cecil Deans, "Who Cares for Nurses", published in "Collegian". The paper explains Deans' opinion that North American healthcare settings are very violent places to work and many institutions are not providing their practitioners with sufficient protection. The paper claims that some facilities even look the other way, all at the expense of the mental and physical well-being of their nursing staff. The paper highlights Deans' main purpose for carrying out this study - to bring the issue to the attention of those who can rectify the situation.

Conclusion
From the Paper "According to Antai-Otong (2001), "Workplace violence is at epidemic levels and grips our society. Workplace murder is the leading cause of death in working women (35% of all female workplace deaths) and the second leading cause of death in working men" (125). Furthermore, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures for 1995 showed that 1,071 workers were murdered in the workplace in 1994; the incidence of workplace murders is just one aspect of workplace violence though. "There is growing recognition that all employees face some exposure to violence, by virtue of association with co-workers and client populations. Some data show an estimated 2 million people in the United States are assaulted each year by co-workers and 6.3 million are threatened by co-workers" (Antai-Otong 2001:125). Certainly, violence and assault can take place in any type of work setting regardless of the occupation of the group; however, Chenier (1998) notes that these incidents are rarely isolated, but that there are few employers with preventive programs in place to sufficiently address the needs of their workplace."
From the Paper "One of the recurring issues to face human beings is the problem of a good death. Through the centuries that has been variously defined and redefined to deal with a number of social, psychological, and spiritual issues. In recent times, Elisabeth Kubler Ross has set forth the parameters of a good death, noting that people generally pass through several stages, finally reaching a stage of acceptance.
However, not all people are content to allow the process of their dying to play out naturally, or to be prolonged indefinitely by an increasingly sophisticated medical establishment. Some people, because of pain, terminal illness, despair, or other causes wish to gain control of their dying and ..."
An analysis of the causes of the Boer War (1899-1902), exploring the roles of the gold-mining magnates, the British and Transvaal governments and individuals such as Joseph Chamberlain, Cecil J. Rhodes and Alfred Milner.
Abstract This essay argues that although the mining magnates had a significant part to play in the build up to the South African War (1899-1902), the underlying causes of the war were the respective governments of Britain and the Transvaal. The paper shows that Joseph Chamberlain, Alfred Milner and C.J. Rhodes may have all contributed, but the cause of the war was greater than the actions of individuals and was the result of regional rivalry and governmental policy.
From the Paper "As with all the principal actors involved in Transvaal politics preceding the Boer War, the gold-mining magnates certainly had a part to play in its causes. Indeed, it would be a difficult task to attribute the Boer War to a single actor, as each of the main contributors played a significant role. Most histories instead attempt to single out the primary driving force behind the war. Since the end of the war different analyses have focused on different issues; the gold-mining magnates, the respective governments in London or Pretoria, the role of the Uitlanders, the individual actions of actors such as Kruger, Milner, Rhodes or Chamberlain, and international financiers. The problem with assigning too much significance to one of these actors is that none of them were in complete control of the situation, and all relied, at least in part, upon the actions of others. Nevertheless, solely naming the different factors achieves little; it is important to try to root out the principal force. Certainly, although it now seems unlikely that the gold-mining magnates were the primary cause of the Boer War, they played an important role, even after the Jameson Raid in 1895."
Abstract This paper will discuss the Spanish Inquisition and the elements that were attributed to its creation, the way that court procedures were done and the policies that would incriminate a heretic if they were arrested for beliefs antagonistic to the Catholic faith. The book by Cecil Roth entitled "The Spanish Inquisition" will be used to discover the facts, while documents related to the study of court procedures will be sued to understand the materials here.
Abstract American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is known for his poetic imagination and diversity. The subjects of his poems range from serious to light-hearted, all written with perfect rhyme and meter. This paper examines Longfellow's style and techniques in the poems, ?A Psalm of Life,? ?The Rainy Day,? and ?The Children's Hour.?
From the Paper ""The Children's Hour" also contains vivid imagery that helps us envision the castle in which the poem takes place. He paints a clear portrait of the girls in the lamplight that shines in the stairway by "three doors unguarded" (19). We see the poet's use of metaphor when he calls the children's rush in the room a "raid" (18) and the contrast of their youth to his age when he refers to himself as an "old mustache" (31). Additionally, Longfellow also uses the castle as a metaphor of his heart, which will secure the father's love for his children always."
Abstract The paper critiques Foster's "A Place Called Heaven: The Meaning of Being Black in Canada". The writer analyzes Foster's evidence for racist attitudes in Canadian government and society and finds them anecdotal, rather than objective. The paper cites numerous examples from the book that can be subjected to a "chicken and egg" argument of which is the cause and which is the effect. The writer concludes that if blacks in Canada don't want to feel like outcasts, they must join with mainstream culture rather than expect mainstream culture to become black.
From the Paper "The problem with anecdotes is that the interpretation of the facts is always subjective. For instance, one could listen to someone describe the shooting at Columbine and conclude that the shooter was a cold-blooded psychopath, a helpless victim of an uncaring society, a tragic hero who finally stood up for himself, or some combination of all of these. None of the interpretations is particularly wrong - they merely depend on how one defines certain words and what set of values one brings to the table."
Abstract The word "auteur" has slipped from common usage when describing an artist of film. Perhaps, and there are critics that would rebut it, only Woody Allen is left as someone who is involved in every creative process of film making. The paper argues that while surely there were auteurs in the early days (D.W. Griffith , Charlie Chaplin, Mack Sennett and Cecil B. deMille), there are three pinnacles in recent times (i.e., since the 1950s) that truly deserve the name that was coined for them: Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and Federico Fellini. The paper shows how each provided audiences world-wide with a style that was uniquely theirs; some masterpieces and others just good entertainment. Each worked in a different country (countries, in Hitchcock's case, but mostly, his successes were in America), each brought a particular genre to the film, and it is as different auteurs that their work is examined and evaluated.
From the Paper "La Strada, which was undoubtedly his first international success, Fellini considers "his most juvenile, lyrical, most confessional film." It was also one film which made Anthony Quinn a star- getting rid of his villain roles in American films, and providing him with a powerful image that changed his entire career. While it is often difficult for a writer-director, an auteur, to explain precisely what motivates the film, in the case of La Strada, Fellini said that "Jesus must be sought outside the church....Christ appears to men under different manifestations, even in the guise of a circus performer. Today we are finished with the Christ myth and await a new one." "
Abstract This paper reviews, discusses and analyzes Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' famous eighteen century novel, 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses'. According to the paper, 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' is written in the epistolary form, and has two main protagonists: Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont. The paper also explains how the theme of the novel seems to be perfectly expressed by William Blake in his poem, "The Clod and the Pebble".
From the Paper "The love that does not seek to please itself but is genuine and sincere is primarily that of other characters in the novel, like Cecile, at least in the beginning, and Madame de Tourvel. However, this understanding of love is also valid, in a way, in the case of the Marquise and the Vicomte. It is easily noticeable that the two actually force themselves into embracing the other ideal of love which seems to gratify their dominating natures. It is an act of will on their part, and they are their own creations, as Merteuil notices: "I carried this zeal so far as voluntarily to inflict pains upon myself while looking for a pleased expression on my face. I worked on myself with the same care to repress the symptoms of an unexpected joy." (Letter 81)"
