Abstract
Although swimming has long been deemed the best overall workout for the body, it has only been during the last few years that swimming and aqua workouts have gained popularity. This paper looks at how swimming and other aqua workouts allows everyone, young and old to participate in an over-all body exercise that benefits the heart, muscles, lungs, joints and mind without the restrictions and potential injuries of other forms of traditional sports and exercise programs.

From the Paper
"Dr. Jane Katz recommends swimming for everyone, especially for the elderly because it is gentle on older joints, muscles, and bones and unlike most other sports, it works all the major muscle groups and builds upper body strength (Michaels pp). Katz says that the beauty of buoyancy and the hydro-static effect of the water is that it gives an upward feeling and helps to protect the joints, making water an excellent rehabilitation medium (Michaels pp). According to Katz, in chin-deep water, an individual weighs one tenth of their body weight on land, while one weighs about fifty percent in waist-deep water, and thigh-deep water provides resistance while still allowing an individual to move easily (Michaels pp)."

Abstract
This paper reviews an experiment, in which an aqua terra column was used as a vehicle to investigate the effect of Miracle-Gro commercial plant growth preparations on plant life. The purpose of this experiment is for the benefit of home and house-plant gardeners only.

From the Paper
"Questions such as the effect of commercial growth enhancers and chemical use in an agricultural setting are on a scale much grander than is practical in this laboratory, and impractical for non-botanical majors such as ourselves. Our concern, therefore, is merely the survival of "domestic science" and the smaller ecosystems in our own living rooms. Rather, we wondered if the plant product Miracle-Gro(r) did what it is advertised to do: increase the growth rate and health of domestic plants."

Abstract
The paper explains the guerrilla marketing concept and looks at the Aqua Teen Hunger Force ad that led to the Boston bomb scare, a Pringles Potato chips ad and a Perlodent toothpaste ad. The paper uses these ads to demonstrate how guerrilla advertising can be dangerous and can have a negative effect on children. The paper also considers the problem of marketers trespassing on private property to engage in guerrilla marketing activities as well as the issue of negative emotions that are evoked by some of these ads. The paper contends that a boundary must be maintained between creative strategies of guerrilla marketing and irresponsible applications and techniques.

From the Paper
"The guerrilla marketing concept was created by Jay Conrad Levinson in 1984. It implies an unconventional way of performing promotional activities on a very low budget. In recent years, many companies, looking for ways of getting out of the clutter of traditional marketing implementations, have tended to apply guerrilla marketing which is a different way of marketing communications. Instead of money, Levinson argues, the primary investments of marketing should be time, energy, and imagination. Examples of guerrilla marketing include street art, flypapering, wheat pasting, and graffiti."

Abstract
A report on the growing crisis in the Middle East due to the lack of substantial water resources. This lack of the necessary fresh water for agriculture and everyday uses has been brought about by a number of factors, the most important of which is the fact that the region now has too great a population to be supported by the ecology of the region. The paper looks at how the water shortage is dealt with in each of the region's individual countries and includes facts and figures relating to water usage and needs in the area.

From the Paper
"Some Middle Eastern nations, like nations in other parts of the globe, are increasingly turning to the use of deep aquifers as a way to supply their people with water, but the long-term consequences of this may prove to be environmental perilous. Moreover, such use of aquifers often (rather than resolving regional and international water conflicts) actually makes them worse, as is the case with the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer, which lies under the national territories of Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan."
