Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.

From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."

Abstract
Vancouver, British Columbia, is a location that is steeped in tradition and a rich history. This paper examines Vancouver within the larger context of western Canadian development.

In addition, the research focuses on the community's political history as a local register of reaction to outside or distant forces. The paper concludes by assessing regional geographic factors and reflecting upon the broad sweep of Vancouver's history over the decades.

From the Paper
"The author also explains that the governor was instructed by the company to consult the local chiefs about the rights of the natives. (Tenant 1990) The company also asserted that the natives only had rights to land which they themselves had cultivated or had built houses upon. (Tenant 1990) The natives would also retain the right to hunt and fish. Furthermore, any land that was not being used was described as waste and subject to colonization. (Tenant 1990) The Company also asserted that if the natives wanted access to the wasted land they must properly register with the colony. (Tenant 1990)"

Abstract
This paper examines how Qin, China's First Emperor, is often credited with unifying a country divided and how history also recalls him as a brutal dictator whose heavy-handed tactics resulted in hundreds of thousand deaths, and perhaps, eventually his own sudden demise, destroying his 15-year rule. It also traces the accomplishments and failures of this short-lived dynasty.

From the Paper
"Bolstered by both an organized military and an extreme system to control the populace based on negative and positive reinforcements (Legalism), Qin Shihuang successfully ended the Warring States Period in 221BC (Wudi par. 3). Following this, he proclaimed China united. However, while Qin, China's "First Emperor," is often credited with unifying a country divided, history also recalls him as a brutal dictator who's heavy-handed tactics resulted in hundreds of thousand deaths (Schirokauer, 51), and perhaps, eventually his own "sudden" demise, destroying his 15-year rule.

"KOSOVO CRISIS OF 1998-1999 AND ITS RAMIFICATIONS

This research paper traces the origins and course of the current dispute in Kosovo and discusses its potential for destabilizing further the Balkans, including the possibility of a wider war in the region, and ways in which tensions there might be heightened or reduced.

The roots of the conflict in Kosovo lie deeply embedded in the histories of the Albanian and Serbian peoples, especially during the occupation of the region by the Ottoman Empire, and tensions and conflicts between them, primarily of an ethno-religious nature, which intensified at periodic intervals during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Those tensions and conflicts have been greatly accentuated by the rise of Serbian ultranationalism after the collapse of communist Yugoslavia and ..."

From the Paper
"Pyrrhus was a celebrated general who possessed great personal valor and strength. He took personal part in his battles and was admired for his fighting skills by his own troops and enemies alike. His military acumen was comparable to that of Alexander the Great and his innovative tactics in battle (e.g. the use of elephants) were copied by several military commanders later. Hannibal has called him the greatest commander of all time (and placed himself in third place)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Hepatitis C, only discovered and delineated from the other diseases associated with AIDS in the late 1980s, is a global disease that effects the liver. The author points out that there are at least 11 recognized genotypes of the Hepatitis C virus family, most of which also have subtypes. This demonstrated ability to mutate is cited as the most likely reason for the difficulty of treatment, diagnosis, and vaccination development. The paper relates that, because this virus has only recently been discovered, the treatment options are closely associated with the types of treatments used for Hepatitis B and often involve the long-term therapeutic use of Interferon and/or a combination of similar drugs associated with the mimicking of naturally occurring immune chemicals used by the body to fight viral infections.

From the Paper
"It is not completely clear at this stage, whether the genotype determines either severity of infection or complete disease manifestation as chronic. ?Current scientific belief is that factors such as duration of a person's HCV infection, their HCV viral load, age, grade of liver inflammation or stage of fibrosis may play an important role in determining response to interferon treatment.? One thing that is well known about the genotyping of Hepatitis C virus is that the prevalence of occurrence is specific to regions in the world, suggesting that the virus has evolved over thousands of years."

Abstract
Traditionally, businesses begin as B2C but as they expand and look for new markets develop a B2B operations. The paper shows, however, that this model of development has significantly changed because of advances in technology. The paper shows that although B2C and B2B's characteristics essentially remain the same, they have already exceeded their basic definitions.

From the Paper
"As a B2B business offering products and services concentrate on marketing programs and materials that offer your target what they need to be able to achieve their operational and corporate objectives. Convince them that your product fulfills their prescription. On the other hand, if you are a B2C business, understand what motivates, perceptions and emotions of your buyers. Compel them with materials that build awareness, convenience, and service. Remember that whether a site seeks to attract consumers or businesses, what is important is establishing a channel of communication and building a lasting relationship with your customers."

Abstract
There are many differences between the marketing approaches taken by companies who rely on business-to-business (B2B) versus business-to-consumer (B2C) websites to attract, sell, and service prospects and customers. The paper shows that B2B companies are focused on selling to another business, while B2C websites and their associated marketing strategies cater to a specific and often highly targeted group of consumers. Marketing is significantly different between both of these types of websites as a result, and those differences are analyzed in this paper.

From the Paper
"B2C websites are designed from a marketing standpoint to support short sales cycles that attempt to maximize the value of the transaction and its speed of execution. B2C sites' content, personalization techniques, applications, and tools are all aimed at generating high levels of loyalty to the site so frequent visits and purchases will occur. A prime example of this type of site is Amazon.com where content and personalized shopping experiences are combined to present books that are tailored to the preferences of each visitor."
