Abstract
This paper explains that a 64-bit processor is simply one that can work with numbers that are up to 64 bits long instead of 32 bits long as in a 32-bit processor. The author points out that computers with 64-bit processors can run database and other business programs faster, manage larger data files and databases, allow more concurrent users and applications to access data, and reduce software-licensing fees. The paper reports that a 64-bit processor can work on extremely large data sets very efficiently, at least in theory; however, modern 32-bit processors can now work on multiple 32-bit instructions simultaneously.

From the Paper
"Performance benefits will increase when software is written specifically to take advantage of 64-bit processors. In this case, a 64-bit processor can perform an instruction on a larger chunk of data in one operation, but again, this is only of benefit if a user is working with very large numbers, or they need very high integer precision. As such, daily office applications and games realize very little benefit or improvement from 64-bit technology."

Abstract
The paper discusses the organizational culture and structure of the present and future. The paper does this by providing a detailed diagnosis of a fictitious company called the Little-bit company. The paper concludes that change is a most difficult process and the implementation of all the solutions for adapting to change will probably not be possible. The paper emphasizes that, for successful change, the main thing is to make the employees and the management of Little-bit proactively work together and understand and support each other while being productive.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"At a time when competition has dramatically increased in every aspect of the market and businesses are searching for more and more opportunities from where they could obtain gain and achieve greater profits, a company with experience, tradition and a lot of years on the market, like Little-bit, has to find the forces to adapt to the new and find the resources to change if it wants to maintain its position and its market share in the business world and further expand them."

Abstract
This paper describes the grounds on which psychotherapy is made legitimate, with specific attention the role played by science. Robert Fancher is presented and rebuffed as a critic of this basic philosophy. The paper shows that the justification for the use of science as a means of legitimization of psychotherapy (and in effect a means to decide the fate of the mentally ill) is valid, and predicated upon documented, empirical evidence. It shows how Robert Fancher, in his book "Cultures of Healing: Correcting the Image of American Mental Health Care", disagrees with this basic notion, over-exaggerating its weaknesses and debasing its strengths, but yet, offering no other system that is as universal and justifiable as science.

From the Paper
"Life can be viewed as a never-ending series of choices. Some are welcomed, some are not, but they are all inevitable. Man takes it upon himself in most cases to exercise his 'free will' (or illusion of free will), to decide the course of his life. As a society, we take it upon ourselves to decide the course for others in special circumstances, such as in cases of crime or disease. For the mentally ill, it is society as a whole that makes their decisions for them. The general public abdicates this power to psychiatrists and those mental health professionals specifically trained to make these decisions, similar to the way public officials are elected to make political decisions. The qualifications of these elected psychiatrists and other professionals rest in their education and training, which ultimately rests on the shoulders of modern science. It is ultimately here that society puts its trust to ensure the proper care of its mentally ill citizens; and in our deepest fears, ourselves. It is this rationalization that Fancher attacks, harshly, and often without proper merit, in his book: Cultures of Healing: Correcting the Image of American Mental Health Care."

Abstract
The stories "Good Country People" and "The Gilded Six-Bits" both tell stories about the development of human character. These stories illustrate contrasting views of humanity and, as a result, they teach us what constitutes a successful and happy person. Each author employs the technique of stylistic attention detail and specific diction as a means of exploring different sides of human character. This paper examines how Flannery O'Connor and Zora Neale Hurston demonstrate the different types of people we encounter every day.

From the Paper
"Both writers articulate the southern culture, especially through diction, which adds texture and depth to each story. For instance, in "The Gilded Six-bits," we can see this when Joe Tells Missie May, "Good Lawd, Missie! You womens sho is hard to sense into things" (Lauter, et al. 1547). O'Connor also uses words like "yessuh" and "naw suh" to us understand the southern accent. In addition, we can see the southern influence in "Good Country People" when Manley tells Mrs. Hopewell he is "from out in the country around Willohobie, not even from a place, just from near a place" (O'Conner). O'Connor and Hurston add depth to their characters by allowing us to see how words are spoken with a southern accent. "

Abstract
This paper relates that "The Gilded Six-Bits" evolves almost like a fairy tale, beginning with a paradise, climaxing with an apparently hopeless wish for wealth, and ending with a twist upon the fulfillment of that hope. The author points out that, for the first few pages of the story, the central romantic protagonists, Missie May and Joe, seem united in a happy household, poor yet well provided for in terms of food, clothing, and love. The paper explains that, although the romantic protagonists remain together at the end and are wealthier, the wealth of the gold becomes a symbol of their division.

From the Paper
"Despite such ominous rumblings, overall the rural images Hurston uses at the outset seem to show that the couple is happy together and that their house is happy. "A mess of homey flowers planted without a plan but blooming cheerily from their helter-skelter places." (Hurston, 1931, "The Gilded Six Bits") Also, "the fence and house were whitewashed. The porch and steps scrubbed white." Care is lovingly bestowed on the humble setting, even if it poor."

Abstract
This paper is a look at Edith Wharton's, "Roman Fever," and Zora Neale Hurston's "The Gilded Six-Bits." Edith Wharton was a white American woman of opulence and class, while Zola Neale Hurston was an African-American who was born in Eatonville, Florida, occupied primarily by black families who have historically been struggling for economic sufficiency and comfort, but have historically been hampered by racial prejudice. The paper looks at how the two celebrated authors write about love, marriage and family, women and their overt well as covert emotions and desires, with the authors' respective and opposing cultures and social classes as backdrops.

From the Paper
"Both stories deal with marriage. In Wharton's, the marriages of childhood friends Alida and Grace had to be cultivated, for they belonged to the genteel class of human beings at that time. They had to try all means to feign happiness and of being loved and their mates' fidelity to them. How they looked to the outside world weighed much more than how they really felt inside, and that was the core of Victorian values of propriety the external, heartbreaking, mind-blowing type. This was the price to pay for belonging up there and everything that went with being high above. In contrast, Hurston's characters, Joe and his Missy May, treasured their marriage and had a common line of pleasures, including the pursuit of a few gilded coins, chocolate kisses and a baby. Their simple joys were more accessible and this made marriage more workable and forgiving offenses possible. Although both authors had unhappy marriages, Hurston nevertheless valued marriage as an institution that could save an individual or else saw marriage as a stabilizing force like nothing else in a society."

Abstract
This paper compares William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" and Zora Neale Hurston's "The Gilded Six-Bits". The author examines the treatment of black characters in the two novels and how their depiction differs. The author offers a brief overview of Black history and how it was accepted in society to provide a more in depth understanding of the depiction of black characters in the above novels.

From the Paper
"Before I begin a comparison of the black characters that are found in the two novels A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner and The Gilded Six-Bits by Zora Neale Hurston I would like to present a background for the development of the black history. Without a substantial understanding of their thought processes and assimilation within society it will become impossible to understand the intricacies that make the characters act in the manner that they do.

Abstract
The paper discusses the shift from 32-bit processing to 64-bit processing that is now under way. The paper explains, however, that most users will not be able to take much advantage of this change because the increased capacity is beyond the scope of the programs they use. The primary advantage may be in terms of better graphics and video capabilities, which could be more useful in the future.

From the Paper
"The newest computer architecture includes a shift from 32-bit processing to 64-bit processing, though most users will not be able to take much advantage of this change because the increased capacity is beyond the scope of the programs they use. The primary advantage may be in terms of better graphics and video capabilities, which could be more useful in the future. The change does not simply mean increased speed for computers, for there is more involved than speed and also fewer opportunities for users to achieve increased speed given that most programs remain 32-bit and that 64-bit is more useful for making greater use of memory than for speed. Analysts have compared the two systems and suggest that 64-bit architecture has limited use beyond graphics for games and the like, at least for the average user. The new architecture is much more valuable to users of supercomputers who conduct large-scale simulations."

Abstract
This paper examines and reviews the article, "A New Bit on Toddler Biting," written by Ramming, Kyger, and Thompson, which addresses the problem of why children bite. The authors approach the problem from the stand point of developmental problems including oral motor development, sensory integration, and behavioral organization. The paper concludes that the best way to stop children from biting is meeting their developmental needs.

From the Paper
"This paper addresses an article, "A New Bit on Toddler Biting," by Ramming, Kyger and Thompson. One of the most upsetting events in a child's life is when they are bitten by another child. Parents and teachers become upset. One of the ways this has been handled in the past is through prevention. However, interventions are better. The authors in the article review discuss why children bite. They discuss one of the reasons children bite is due to oral development and sensory stimulation. Understanding Why Toddlers Bite When a child bites another child or adult, several reactions happen such ..."

Abstract
This paper answers three questions on Robert Levine's work, "A Geography of Time: The Temporal Misadventures of a Social Psychologist, or How Every Culture Keeps Time Just a Little Bit Differently". This book is a unique research project into how different cultures address the nature of time. Levine explores a series of countries and compares their perceptions of time against that of the United States, where time traditionally "dictates" human actions through creating an unavoidable social structure.
