Abstract
This paper provides a medical explanation for Bell's Palsy, a condition that causes temporary facial paralysis. The paper also describes the causes, epidemiology, and symptoms of the condition and how it is diagnosed and treated.
From the Paper
"A person might wake up one morning and discover that one side of his or her face shows signs of paralysis. The symmetrical nature of the face might have a mismatched appearance. The afflicted side may have varying levels of deformity and droopiness. The person might discover the inability to close the eye. The paralysis of one side of the face means that speech is often distorted. Feeding is difficult. Drooling is frequent. The person finds it impossible to pucker the lips into a shape that is often used for whistling. The direct diagnosis is that this person is suffering from Bell's Palsy. This condition is relatively temporary. Only few people who suffer from this condition have permanent effects. Bell's Palsy can develop over a few hours or a few days. It is not uncommon for a person to find that the condition has developed overnight."

Abstract
The paper explores how it is possible that an organization like Taco Bell performs so well in terms of profitability, locally and globally. To address this question, the paper focuses on the challenges Taco Bell faces in three key business areas: staffing, training and compensation. The paper analyzes each area and offers a plan or recommendation for how Taco Bell may overcome challenges it faces in each of the three business areas.
From the Paper
"Fast food chains across the country have become synonymous with a number of less than flattering images: poor service and unhealthy food. The other image that exists in the minds of millions, which is often not publicized is satisfaction. There is a reason that fast food giants like McDonald's, Burger King and Taco Bell are among the most profitable businesses in the nation - they satisfy a consumer need at a reasonable price point. There is an assumption in business that it is necessary to invest in employee training to increase employee loyalty, satisfaction and productivity (Barrick, Stewart, & Piotrowski, 2002). If this assumption is true, the success many fast food chains afford becomes somewhat of a conundrum."

Abstract
This paper explores the character of Esther Greenwood in Sylvia Plath's "Bell Jar." The paper focuses on Esther as a woman and discusses gender roles, their causes and their repercussions. The paper argues that Sylvia Plath speaks out in "Bell Jar;" publicizing the effects of society's maddening restrictions placed on women.
From the Paper
"Through her narrative, Esther was continually at battle with the social definitions of women. However, she ultimately does not want to transgress the boundaries by being overtly sexual like Doreen nor does she desire to be the overly masculinized, independent career woman Jay Cee is."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the origins of the Second World War and the concept of Thirty Years War as argued by P.M.H. Bell in his book "The Origins of the Second World War in Europe". The paper relates that according to Bell "We live still in the shadow of the Second World War."

From the Paper
"This paper will provide an analysis of the origins of the Second World War and the concept of Thirty Years War as argued by P.M.H. Bell in his book "The Origins of the Second World War in Europe". According to Bell "We live still in the shadow of the Second World War." This statement cannot be overemphasized and the understanding of the origins of this historic event is demanding our attention. Bell's introductory chapters are particularly thought provoking. First the author weights all the conflicts in Europe before the "official" start of the World War usually accepted to be the German- led invasion on Poland..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the use of symbolism in Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar'. In particular, the writer looks at the dual symbol of electrocution and electro-convulsive shock therapy. The writer studies the novel's fixation on the execution of the Rosenbergs.
From the Paper
"Edgar Roberts states that objects and descriptions that are not universal symbols can be symbols only if they are made so within individual stories. Certainly this is the case with the dual symbol of electrocution as a means of executing a guilt offender and the use of electro-convulsive shock therapy for depression and suicidal ideation in Sylvia Plath's novel "The Bell Jar". This analysis will explore the connection between Plath's early fixation with the execution of the Rosenbergs via electrocution and ..."

Abstract
This paper examines three reviews of "The Bell Curve" by Herrnstein and Murray. All three reviewers denounce the lack of scientific rigour in the authors' use of the concepts of intelligence and race, and correctly demonstrate the racism of their assumptions.
From the Paper
"In Harvard, professors Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray published a book entitled "The Bell Curve: Class Structure and the Future of America." While the authors coyly disavowed any racist intent, the book is essentially an ideologically driven unscientific tract that claims with no valid evidence that race, intelligence and social class are all intrinsically linked. If one is to judge from the three reviews I have consulted. "In Intelligence and Ideology A Review Essay of The Bell Curve" reviewer John C Culbertson gives the..."

Abstract
This paper explains that paralysis of the face is extremely traumatic because the face is the most important part of human existence; thereby, paralysis causes devastating physical and psychological problems. The author points out that the primary objective of surgery for facial paralysis is to restore spontaneous symmetrical animation. The paper underscores that the way that etiology serves as the base for the surgical plan, which has different requirements between adults and children. The author describes various modern surgical techniques including nerve grafts and muscle transfer and the use of electromyography before and after the direct neurotization technique to the muscles of the eye sphincter, depressor, tongue and smile restoration to improve function.

Evaluation and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The condition of facial paralysis is therefore called 'Bell's Palsy'. (2) At that time the causes of the paralysis was not discovered. Today there are different methods of finding the cause and remedy of many types of paralysis. "Bell's Palsy" is now used to "refer to a condition where the cause cannot be ascertained". Today most surgeons treat all paralysis as 'Bell's Palsy', which is erroneous. In determining the cause of and the nature of the condition, it is necessary to take in the results of the examination of ear, nose, throat, neck, and the 'parotid' glands."
