Abstract
Alarm calls are widespread in nature, and researchers are exploring why such calls are given, as they may draw attention to the animal giving the signal, and thus put its life at risk. Other researchers are looking at what the different calls signify in order to learn how animals communicate, and ultimately use this knowledge to determine how human cognition has evolved.

"Alarm calls are widespread in nature, and researchers are exploring why such calls are given, as they may draw attention to the animal giving the signal, and thus put its life at risk. Other researchers are looking at what the different calls signify in order to learn how animals communicate, and ultimately use this knowledge to determine how human cognition has evolved. This paper will look at the alarm calls of some animal species, what they signify, how they have developed, and how they relate to the animal's habitat.

Alarm calls of animals are part of a complex language system, with different calls being used to warn of different predators and triggering different survival actions, depending on the animal species, according to Milius (1998). For example, a vervet monkey can make three different kinds of alarm calls, and each ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the time history of events and macroscale interactions during substorms as observed by the THEMIS mission, designed and launched by NASA in 2008, staffed by researchers from the United States, Canada and many European countries. In particular, the paper investigates how this mission and the Cassini mission determined that the color of the auroras depends on the type of gasses involved in the collision of particles during these substorms. The paper concludes that, by studying the earth's auroras and the auroras of other nearby planets, scientist can develop new insight into what other stars and the objects around them may be like. Color photographs are included in the paper.

From the Paper
"The auroras have been admired since earth began (or at least since there have been communities far enough north or south to view them!). These people developed many myths that attempted to explain the northern and southern lights. Some cultures believed that the lights were gods dancing. Others thought of them as the spirits of the dead. Some viewed them as good omens and went to war based on the appearance of the auroras. Others felt that they were symbols of divine anger and avoided all types of activity during times of intense colors in the auroras."

Abstract
This paper gives a brief explanation of what it is like in a newsroom, noting that it is disorganized, noisy, and somber. In particular, the paper describes how journalists adopted a different perspective of their job after September 11, 2009. According to the paper, before September 11 2001, news people were supposed to pay attention for us, write as an outsider observing the happenings around them, and be neutral and impartial. After September 11, however, journalists became pastoral, compassionate and helpful. The paper also tells us that the way photographs are taken has also changed and that the online media is being used far more nowadays.

From the Paper
"Photographs portrayed family members placing flowers on memorials, the horrified faces of citizens watching a newscast, and rescue workers fighting to save lives. Barbi Zelizer said that "photography's suddenly potrayed people looking at the site without evidence of the site itself." This use of photojournalism is normally said to lack newsworthiness but it was used strongly during the attacks. The photography was greatly applauded by the media because it had the power to "shape the response to the attacks." An organizer from a photograph exhibit stated that "the photographs are the memorial to September 11th. Although the vent was horrid, September 11th was said to have changed the meaning of photojournalism.Yet, since the attacks, nothing in the journalism world was changed as much as the online media. Just hours after the event, the entire world wanted answers. Civilians needed to know who was responsible, if it was an accident, or if people were getting out safely. Where else to turn to than the Internet?"

From the Paper
"With the owners being out of an audible range of the alarm, they never know that the automobile is shrieking out to deaf ears. The proverbial sounds of alarming horns and sirens vary with the immeasurable types and brands of alarm systems. Automotive alarms are available in a broad variety from the basic factory installations on new cars to the complete overhaul of a vehicle's electrical system with aftermarket equipment. Almost any retail store that stocks car accessories, stereo equipment, or other automotive electronics, will also have an assortment of do-it-yourself alarm systems".

Abstract
This paper examines how, in the United States, the accidental affliction of death caused by fires and burns occupies the fourth place. It attempts to show how smoke alarms are the chiefly efficient, initial cautioning device existing for the home and how they give precious time to run away from a fire. Generally, fires can propagate quickly through a home, and people may have as little as two minutes to run away following the alarm sounds. The possibility of dying in a housing fire is reduced to half when a functioning smoke alarm is available.

From the Paper
"Though heat detectors are put into use for residential purposes from 1921, "the field tests have shown that they are not as efficient as smoke detectors in sensing fires in the home" and the Section 16, Chapter 3 of the NFPA Fire Protection Handbook asserts that genuine fire tests in suburban occupancies have shown that considerable amounts of smoke have come before the considerable amounts of heat in approximately all cases. Most of the residential fires belong to the slow burning flame type and the most important point is that they are not of the soaring heat building type. (Smoke Detectors in the Home: A Matter of Life & Death) Most of the serious home fire happens when the people are fast asleep at night. Reports show that most people die due to smoke and poisonous gases rather than the fire itself. Many people at night do not know that there was a fire."

Abstract
This paper offers a review and analysis of the 2009 article published by Medical News Today entitled "Health Departments React with Alarm to New CDC Surveillance Data," while the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has published alarming statistics that suggest suggesting sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in America overall have grown more prevalent. The paper explains that the CDC also notes that rates of certain STDs, specifically Chlamydia, have increased at an even more alarming rate. The paper notes that the age-related figures, however alarming, may also be conservative because such a large number of those affected appear to be young. The paper concludes that young people may be more apt to shun screening, despite their greater risk of contracting the illness, because of fear of their parents discovering their complaint; they also may not know the risk of the illness, and the risk the illness may pose to their health and fertility, and may have difficulty accessing clinics.

From the Paper
"Still, the CDC suggests that family planning clinics are the most accurate places the illness. However, it admits: "Chlamydia positivity in women attending clinics is an estimate of prevalence; it is not true prevalence. Crude positivity may include those women who are tested two or more times during a single year. Comparisons of positivity with prevalence have shown that in family planning clinics, positivity is generally similar to or slightly higher than prevalence, and in STD clinics, positivity is somewhat lower than prevalence; however, these differences are usually small" STD Surveillance Report, 2007, CDC, pp. 13-15). Individuals who come to women's or STD clinics may not be representative of the population, and may be more likely to manifest prevalence of the ailment or not to manifest prevalence because of more frequent testing."

Abstract
An article entitled ?Online Mental Health Service: An Opportunity, or Alarm?? (E. Almer) appeared in the April 22nd, 2000 online edition of the "The New York Times". This paper reviews the article and includes a discussion of E. Almer's point of view. The paper also includes recommendations for future research studies to be conducted that would address concerns proposed by the paper?s author.

From the Paper
"Caveats Issued by the Critics. Not all professionals are as enthusiastic about online therapy. To begin, many point out that on the internet, therapists are not subject to the usual licensing that rules in-office counseling. As a result, just as anyone who has the technological capability can create a web site, anyone with the inclination can create a site offering mental health services, even without the appropriate credentials. While policies regarding mental health practice on the web, including appropriate behavior for service providers, are currently being drafted by major professional organizations, this still does not eliminate the issue of how to interpret inter state license regulations into the internet, which has none of these boundaries."

Abstract
This paper addresses digitalization as a phenomenon evoking a capitalist response. The paper takes a broader view of the Internet once hailed as a promoter of individual rights of communication. The paper notes the usual argument of RE Adorno/Marx et al, on cybertechnology as co-opted, in the end, by corporate capitalist agenda. The paper includes a case of a corporate response to digitalization and the loss of monopoly, the expectation of legal/state support that is in keeping with British Marxist position on capitalism, law and society. The paper includes various references.

From the Paper
"The rise of cyber-technology produced much optimism to do with the prospect of the global citizen, a classless entity, in a world no longer as bound by capitalism's demarcations. However, the example of digitalization and its repercussions indicates that some patterns remain remarkably similar, in mere changes to a global business of media and communication, to generate corporate wealth, through the last century. The advent of digitalization was alarming to corporate interests expecting monopolies to continue (Dyer-Witherford, 1999). Adjustments, nonetheless, do reinforce capitalism as shown in this paper's discussion of the American recording industry."

Abstract
The paper refers to critical media sources and some laws regarding the threat posed by digitalization to corporate recording interests. The paper provides a commentary on the overall phenomenon of digitalization as it stands to alter consciousness and what we understand by copyright, by laws involving special ownership and the very nature of reality. The paper notes the failure to distinguish between digitalization and its more cultural, thematic result in the digitalization that is such a threat to recording industry sovereignty.

From the Paper
"Digitalization presents a number of considerations that affect the whole business of media and communication, as they have generated corporate wealth for a half-century or so. Moreover, digitalization may indicate a permanent shift in how cultural products are understood, our consciousness of what is accessible and our sense of entitlement, property and laws governing these concepts. Corporations are losing control of recorded products over which they once enjoyed monopoly and forcing new ventures of unknown success. Indeed, interests whose products are threatened by digitalization are proving to be poor sports, wanting capitalist activities protected by public and legal intervention."
