Abstract
This paper studies the various diseases and insects that are likely to affect the Bermuda grass. This type of grass is suitable for most places as they do not require much maintenance, but they like any other grass specie must be protected against possible infections.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the disappearance of the crews of ships in the Bermuda Triangle is not always explainable even when weather, damage, and even piracy are taken into account. The writer maintains that alien abduction is a plausible alternative explanation.

From the Paper
"The disappearance of people from the Bermuda Triangle have long been labeled folly and legend. This is due to two major difficulties in the evidence presented. One is the overemphasis of the refuting evidence on what happened to the ships or planes involved without proper attention paid to what actually happened to the people in these vehicles. The other is sloppy reporting on the part of the incidents in question giving the scientific community ample ammunition to shed doubt on even the ..."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts Gish Jen's short story "Who's Irish?" with Dao Strom's novel "Grass Roof." The reviewer describes how both works investigate the complex problems that arise from the clash between the Asian and Western cultures. The paper further discusses the authors' styles and also the conflicts found in both works. The reviewer concludes that both stories give a painful and complex account of identity loss, displacement and racial discrimination in the lives of their characters.

From the Paper
"Gish Jen's short story is narrated in broken English by a Chinese grandmother living with her daughter's family in the Unites States. Jen uses a multiple ethnic context, emphasizing the problems arising from the many cultural differences. The title of the short story, Who's Irish? directly questions identity and ethnicity. First of all, the story is about a Chinese American family who is now at the third generation of immigrants in the United States. Moreover, the family itself is a blend of ethnicities: the Chinese American daughter, Natalie is married to an Irish man, John Shea. The conflict in the story is thus a multiple one: there is an inner conflict between the Irish and the Chinese influences, repeatedly voiced in the Chinese grandmother's discourse. Sophie, Natalie and John's little girl, is obviously at the center of this conflict."

Abstract
The paper discusses the many incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle (BT) where ships and planes disappeared without a trace. The paper attempts to discover whether this vast area of ocean is really haunted by some cosmic force, or whether it is just a place in the ocean given to sudden violent storms, rough seas and erratic wind conditions. The paper looks at the evidence and offers an explanation, which maintains that the methane ice beneath the Bermuda Triangle may help to explain some of the disappearances.

Introduction
Literature Review
Conclusion

From the Paper
"It seems worthy to review of some of the claims about unusual events linked to the BT in terms of providing needed background. According to the Encyclopedia of the Unusual & Unexplained (EUU) strange events in the BT date back to the days of Christopher Columbus. In his first voyage from Europe to the New World, it has been reported that Columbus' compass readings "were askew" within the area now known as the BT. Also, Columbus and his crew were supposedly "confused by shallow areas of sea with no land nearby."
"Gaddis went on to turn his article into a book, Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea in 1965. In Gaddis' book, according to EUU, he provided in-depth detail about nine incidents that remained mysteries at that time. When the National Geographic magazine carried a story about Gaddis' book, many newspapers began running stories about the triangle. Several things followed Gaddis' book that brought continuing attention to the triangle. A book called Limbo of the Lost (by John Wallace Spencer) came out in 1969 and a film documentary, The Devil's Triangle was released in 1971."

Abstract
This paper explains that, from a legacy of colonialism, Jamaica and Bermuda have carved out a more independent path through which they are better able to express an authentic local culture and identity. The author points out that, while Jamaica is the island with actual independence, Bermuda appears to be developing the more versatile and durable society. The paper states that the education system of Jamaica is still hampered by colonialism insofar as external imagery and tourist considerations actually determine what is taught to Jamaican school children so a citizenry is created, which will behave appropriately in the presence of white tourists. The author underscores that the Bermudans are moving towards eradicating the island's over-dependence upon tourist dollars although its education system and no doubt its society remains not wholly dissimilar to the systems of Great Britain.

From the Paper
"Continuing onward, the racial legacy of colonialism manifests itself in many ways. For one thing, there is evidence (at least in the popular press) that racial identification has grown stronger in Bermuda in recent years; unfortunately, the pyramidal arrangement of historic Bermudan society (one in which certain groups are associated with power) has lingered: as one example, it is noteworthy that a Caucasian British subject was chosen to head Bermuda's judiciary over many other qualified candidates - at least some of whom were non-white Bermudans."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the premise that identity is a huge issue in the Caribbean and has been for quite some time. With that as the backdrop, the paper looks at the various ways in which the issue of identity has been addressed in the island states of Jamaica and Bermuda. Specifically, the paper briefly reviews the issues of tourism and education and how both islands have (or have not) encouraged the recrudescence of a healthy indigenous identity. In the end, the conclusion of this paper is that, while positive steps have been taken, much remains to be done.

Abstract
This paper aims to prove that the disappearance of all ships and planes over the Bermuda Triangle immediately suggests the presence of paranormal activities. Thus, it is impossible for anything, or anybody, that has ever crossed the Triangle to disappear without leaving any trace behind without there being some paranormal dimension to the question. After convincing the non-scientist reader that the activities that have occurred within the Triangle are paranormal, it seeks to convince them of scientific evidence that argues the Triangle to be a gateway to a different world.

From the Paper
"Since the disappearance of Flight 19, more than 100 ships and planes crossing the Bermuda Triangle, an area of sea close to the Bermuda Islands in the Pacific, have met with a similar fate, without a single body or a piece of wreckage ever being found (Berlitz 1). In 26 years, 1000 people crossed the Triangle and all vanished (Berlitz 1). As a result, very thorough studies and researches have been carried out into the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, in the hope of finding a scientific answer to the disappearances of all those who have ever crossed the Bermuda Triangle."

Abstract
This paper discusses some of the strange disappearances that have taken place in the geographic area known as the Bermuda Triangle and explores the different theories that have been asserted to explain these disappearances.

From the Paper
"A variety of grim nicknames have been used to describe this area of the Atlantic Ocean over the past forty years, such as: the Devil's Triangle, the Hoodoo Sea and the Limbo of the Lost. The most commonly used name, the Bermuda Triangle, was coined by researcher and author Vincent Gaddis in 1964 in his article, "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle"."

Abstract
This paper presents a geographical explanation of the Bermuda Triangle. It then examines the history of this mystery and mentions several disasters or unexplained events that have happened in the skies and waters of this area. The paper also discusses the literature available on these mysteries and the form of documentation.

From the Paper
"The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the Caribbean believed to contain some mystery which causes ships and planes to disappear at a higher rate than in other regions of the globe. The idea of a Bermuda Triangle is of relatively recent origin, though researchers have identified many disappearances from the area dating back centuries. The greatest part of the mystery is the question of whether there is a mystery at all, for many scientists state that the rate of disappearances in the region is no any higher than in other similar areas and that there is no reason for the speculation about everything from satanic influences to extraterrestrials in the area. Both sides of the question will be considered here."

Abstract
This paper describes the plot and characters in Sheri Tepper's novel, "Grass". The paper details the hierarchy, patriarchy and class system that exists amongst the inhabitants of Grass and how this family and social structure is what leads to their confrontation with a subculture on Grass known as the hippae.

From the Paper
"It is said that he who does not remember the past, is condemned to repeat it. In the novel Grass, author Sheri Tepper masterfully incorporates this moral into her story with skillful literary sublime. As the reader delves into the lives of the inhabitants of Grass and the family dispatched there from the land of "Terra" in search of a cure for the plague that threatens to destroy mankind, he or she sees a societal structure that has Grass poised for imminent warfare and destruction."
