Abstract
The Deloro Mine is a now closed facility that during its operating period, contaminated ground water with high concentrations of arsenic. The arsenic now needs to be removed to prevent entry into drinking water supplied to consumers. The paper begins by outlining the most common methods of arsenic removal in use today. The author then discusses steps taken by mine owners to prevent further contamination from the disused mine and technologies put in place to remove the arsenic concentrations from the ground water. Finally, the author examines new technologies that now exist and that could facilitate more efficient and safe removal of contaminants before making his final recommendations.

State of the Art in Arsenic Removal Technology

From the Paper
"As one can see, there are a number of treatment options available for the removal of arsenic in groundwater. There is no single best solution that will result in maximum results at all sites. These technologies are often combined to meet the needs of each individual situation. Treatment at the Deloro Mine uses chemical coagulation followed by sedimentation to process the effluent that will eventually be dumped back into the Moira River.
"The amount of contamination at Deloro Mine is enormous. Cleanup efforts have only been marginally successful in reducing the amount of arsenic entering into individual homes. One must remember that although efforts are being taken now to clean up arsenic in the area, many private drinking wells have been contaminated for many years. The state of New Jersey faced a similar problem with widespread arsenic contamination. They resolved the issue by controlling arsenic at the point of entry into the house. They now require residential adsorption treatment system for every individual home."

Abstract
This paper details the characteristics that go together to make the perfect company manager. It focuses on the the manager of Arsenal Football Club (AFC) in England, Arsene Wenger, who has been uniquely successful in taking his club from zeroes to heroes by using a combination of both Western science and Eastern Zen and looks at his background from his education through to his financial success as the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history and also the most successful in terms of trophies won.

From the Paper
"Arsene Wenger was born in Strasbourg (France) near the border of Germany in 1949. His upbringing and education is therefore a mix of French artistic sensibility coupled with a strong German work ethic and attention to science. Wenger realizes the importance of a good formal education to being a good manager. He has a degree in engineering and a Master's degree in economics. He is a fluent speaker of French, German and English, as well as speaking some Japanese, Spanish and Italian. In the English Premier League, traditionally a blue collar domain, the urbane and educated Wenger stands out and has thus attained the nickname 'professor'. Although his degrees and languages may not seem to have any immediate connection with his success as a soccer coach, the success of Wenger as we'll see is very much down to his holistic outlook on performance and how being a rounded, high-performing manager is critical to this."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment's publication regrading the chemical arsenic. The chemical with respect to carcinogenicities, exposures, research, and other considerations are discussed. In addition to the website with the report, over 30 other sources were used to make this report.

From the Paper
"Arsenic in the drinking water supply has been the subject of much controversy and debate in state and national government. The allowable amount had remained unchanged for decades at 50 parts per billion until fairly recent years. While an earlier presidential administration attempted to curtail the amount allowable in the water supply, later politicians did the contrary. There is little doubt that science supports the toxicity and carcinogenicity, but attempts to undermine the significance of findings has stalled stricter regulation on the national level."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The provincial government had known for more than a decade that the people of Deloro had been breathing arsenic-laden air and living with arsenic-poisoned soil, according to McAndrew in his 1999 article. However, on June 10th, 1999 the approximately 175 residents learned the truth, during a community meeting organized by the ministry to inform the residents about the cleanup efforts that would be conducted at the abandoned Deloro gold mine and smelter."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the issue of arsenic in drinking water and discusses different points of view regarding this problem. The paper also raises concerns regarding any contradicting research. The paper discusses limitations and developments and concludes that arsenic in the drinking water is an important concern that must be addressed in the near future, as is puts global health at risk.

Personal Thoughts

From the Paper
"In the past few years, the topic of health as it relates to environmental awareness has emerged as a significant concern for global leaders, government officials and the common family. Arsenic, a ubiquitous element found in the atmosphere, soils, rocks, natural waters and organisms, is one of the current leading environmental health issues. Most environmental arsenic problems are the result of mobilization under natural conditions, but man has contributed to the release of arsenic in the environment through mining activity, combustion of fossil fuels, herbicides, and the use of arsenic as an additive to livestock feed."

From the Paper
"The Deloro Mine, in eastern Ontario, is a significant player whose activities has resulted in both surface and subsurface arsenic contamination of both soil and water, at the mine site, and off-site as well. Gold mining and smelting, with arsenic removal, was established in 1886, at Deloro. The health and safety of Deloro workers was compromised due to high levels of metal in their bodies, specifically lead and arsenic. Environmental problems were also an issue, including the air deposition of arsenic dust. This air deposition contamination was so detrimental that residents were unable to hang out their laundry during smelter operation, for years, because of the stack soot high in metals. In the 1960s, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Water Resources Commission found water samples to be high in arsenic. "

Abstract
The paper examines "Arsenic and Old Lace" as not just a comedy but a farce, even though the central topic is murder. The paper discusses how even though most of the characters are involved in murdering people or burying them, there is only one true villain. All the characters are likable and are accepted with their own explanations of what they do, except for Jonathan. The paper illustrates how this distinction is achieved through character portrayal, physical appearance, references to other horror films and techniques such as music.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the life and crimes of Mary Ann Cotton, a British female serial killer in the 1800s. The paper also talks about the violentization theory formulated in this century by Lonnie Athens to explain her behavior. The author has also included two other theories, humanistic psychological theory and social control theory, to explain Mary Ann Cotton's delinquency.

From the Paper
"Athens' time. Mary Ann Cotton was born into a small English village in 1832 and by the time Mary reached age thirty-three, she had already poisoned and killed ten people. Using Athens' theory of violentization, it is possible to understand what occurred in Mary's childhood to lead her to a life of violence. Additional theories, such as humanistic psychological theory and social control theory, could be utilized in order to explain Mary's violent actions. If Athens' theory of violentization or another theory on crime and delinquency had been available to Mary's peers or family during her childhood, the death of approximately twenty English citizens may have been prevented.
"In October 1832, a female serial killer was born in County Durham, England. Mary Ann Robson was born to two young adults who had recently married at age twenty. Throughout her childhood, Mary Ann faced multiple hardships. Mary Ann's father, Michael, was a poor miner who made hardly enough to keep his children and wife from starving. Also, her father was an avid Methodist and imposed harsh discipline on both Mary Ann and her brother, Robert. Mary Ann's father would often overstep his boundaries and discipline often bordered senseless abuse. Aggressive discipline coupled to malnutrition caused Mary Ann to frequently retreat from her family and friends."

"Arsenic: A Human Carcinogen


Arsenic has always had an evil reputation. Its use as a homicidal and suicidal agent is widely known. In addition, more recently, its potential for causing harm in the environment is being realized. Abundant studies establish a relationship between arsenic and certain types of cancer. As a contaminant in drinking water, it poses a significant threat to human health.


The alchemists' symbol for arsenic is a coiled serpent (Levander et al., 1977, p. 1). The chemical is famous for its poisonous attributes. Less well.known, however, is the fact that arsenic has also been used as a therapeutic "tonic." For hundreds of years, patients received arsenic for conditions ranging from acute infections to epilepsy, and asthma (Bickley & Papa, 1989, p. 378). Furthermore, both inorganic and organic..."

"WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL
Introduction
Rocky Mountain Arsenal was a United States Army industrial site used as a production facility for chemical weapons, nerve gas, and artillery shells. The facility was leased later to a private sector firm that used the facility to produce a commercial pesticide. The Arsenal site was contaminated with hazardous chemicals as a consequence of both the governmental and the private sector activities.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) acquired Rocky Mountain Arsenal and manages the site as a wildlife refuge. The Arsenal has been designated as a "Superfund" site for cleanup action.
