Abstract
This paper finds that the rise of the Internet found newspapers unprepared for the changes that occurred. It finds further that those papers which cannot adapt to the changing environment have failed, and that this trend will continue in the future. The paper explains that the newspapers that emphasize paper are doomed to oblivion, while those that emphasize news will be able to survive through adaptation. The paper relates that among the most common adaptations in the acquisition and development of web-based offshoots for such things as classified advertising. The paper also notes that the presence of entities such as craigslist present serious models of ways that the Internet may gradually overtake entire functions.

From the Paper
"Time was when a newspaper was pretty much its own medium. Readers wishing to comment could write letters to the editor, or perhaps cancel a subscription if they felt too offended, but the notion of instant feedback to the newspaper was beyond conception. No more. Even the print media that have not gone to online editions have e-mail addresses for virtually every writer, department, columnist, reporter, whatever, has a posted e-mail address. Many periodicals and newspapers are available on-line., or have on-line supplements. In short, the Internet has had a profound and pervasive influence on more conventional media."

Abstract
This paper discuses the premise that alterations made in film adaptations of literary sources are a conscious effort to market the film to a contemporary audience. In particular, the paper looks at how Orson Welles' "Othello" and Tim Blake Nelson's "O", two famous film adaptations of "Othello", exemplify this premise and how the alterations made in the films signify social approaches towards the literary status of the play. The paper further examines how Tim Blake Nelson's "O", released in 2001, is intended to make Shakespeare more appealing to a contemporary, young audience. The paper also looks at how, although Orson Welles originally aimed his adaptation at a 1950s audience, with its restoration in 1992, it was then re-marketed, and its 'relevance' changed.

From the Paper
"Unlike O, however, Orson Welles' Othello makes very few changes to Shakespeare's language. He does, however, leave out certain lines. For example, in the scene where Iago and Roderigo incite Brabantio, the screenplay jumps from Roderigo's line, 'signor, is all your family within?' to 'transported, with no worse or better guard but with a knave of common hire, a gondolier, to the gross clasps of a lascivious Moor' . In this small section alone, Welles skips thirty nine lines of the play. Among the lines omitted are Iago's racist taunts about Othello, for example, 'an old black ram is tupping your white ewe' (I.i.89-90). A reference to Desdemona as a possession - 'look to your house, your daughter, and your bags' (I.i.81) - is also excluded. "

Abstract
Paper introduces differences in the plot presented in Steven Spielberg's film (1985) as compared to Alice Walker's novel (1982) as in Spielberg's omission of lesbianism, then an important topic of activism in the U.S. Harsher criticism came from allegations that Spielberg presented African-American males in a racist manner; indeed, Walker was also criticised for her male characters. Reference to several articles, explanation of what Walker/Spielberg described of early 20th century rural Georgia and how criticism often pertains to topical issues more than the art in question.

The Teacher's Role and Student Acceptance Gutmann (1994) discusses the issue of acceptance within society, including the educational system (p. 3). Moreover, the focus of Gutmann (1994) is on the creation of individual identity and the ability of the social order to support multiculturalism in a democratic society (p. 3). However, acceptance in the school systems for children is not only about culture,

Abstract
This paper examines the increasing complexity of human computer interaction, and the active efforts to decrease this complexity and increase computer usability through various methods. First, the paper discusses customization in which the user himself/herself makes certain changes to the system to suit their individual needs. Then, it takes an in-depth look at adaptive graphical interfaces, which should help users to accomplish their tasks with fewer actions. Today's most common adaptive graphical interfaces are further described. Additionally, the paper addresses adaptive navigation support for hypermedia systems, which has also been explored as a means of personalizing or adapting user interface. The paper concludes by noting that the importance ascribed to graphical user interfaces demonstrates why having adaptive mechanisms inbuilt into the system as well as providing some degree of control to the user is recommended.

From the Paper
"Adaptive graphical interfaces can not only improve a user's performance but also system performance and quality of human computer interaction. Such interfaces can help to get rid of problems arising from information overflow or system complexity. (Benyon, Accommodating Individual Differences through an Adaptive User Interface); (Schneider-Hufschmidt, Adaptive User Interfaces Class 8113d, Fall 94); (Karwowski, 1004) Adaptive graphical interfaces possess a tremendous amount of potential for providing assistance to a broad range of users operating across a wide span of work contexts. Plenty of research has gone into the development of such systems. Computer systems can be made adaptable if it is provided with an appropriate theory of interaction along with the necessary instructions of how this interaction can be improved. The representations and structure offered at the interface can be made to complement the user's individual needs, desires and preferences if the computer is arranged to alter its functioning."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the Roy Adaptation Model is a model for nursing practice that reflects the person's adaptation to his or her environment. The writer discusses that within the model there are four specific adaptive modes that serve as subsystems for the individual or group.

From the Paper
"These subsystems are: * Physiologic-physical: Focusing on the individual this adaptive mode pertains to the individual's basic needs and the "four complex processes". In relationship to the group it ..."

Abstract
This paper first reviews what neurotransmitters are and their relationship to the peripheral and central nervous systems. Two neurotransmitters are reviewed in detail and then their relationship to psychological disorders are reviewed. The second part of the paper completes four experiments and then relates the findings from these sensory activities. These activities are then analyzed for understanding the idea of adaption and how adaption has been helpful in evolution.

Abstract
This paper discusses Sister Callista Roy's background, education and remarkable professional rise in conjunction with the nursing model she developed. The paper focuses on the influences on Roy's personally and professionally, and includes a brief literature review on the applicability of the adaptation model to patient care specifically and then from a theoretical standpoint examining philosophical issues of spirituality, family life and influences.

From the Paper
"As in any professional environment, theories and theorists are everywhere. The nursing profession is no different, with theorists and theories ranging from Imogene King's Theory of Attainment to Ida Jean Orlando's Nursing Process Theory to Hildegard E. Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Model. However, the most revolutionary theorist who changed the face of nursing and nursing applications theory the most was Sister Callista Roy with the development of the Roy Adaptation Model. Sister Callista Roy was born on October 14, 1939 as the first daughter in an eventual family of 7 boys and 7 girls (Roy, 2003a)."

Abstract
This paper looks at Selye's syndrome, known also as General Adaptation Syndrome. Selye was the fist to talk about stress and its cause, starting in the 1920's. The writer discusses that he is credited with discovering what is behind "just feeling sick" and recognizing it is due to the body's response to constant stress. The writer reveals Selye's belief that it is the "wear and tear on the body."

From the Paper
"Hans Selye wrote in the front piece of his book 'Stress': 'To those who are under the exhausting nervous strain of pursuing their ideal whatever it may be to the martyrs who sacrifice themselves for others as well as to those hounded by selfish ambition fear jealousy and worst of all by hate. For my stress stems from the urge to help and not to judge But most personally this book is dedicated to my wife who helped so much to ..."
