Abstract
Space weather is a normal bombardment of the earth by particles and emissions from the sun interacting with the magnetic field of the earth. This process produces collisions in the atmosphere leading to colorful displays in the atmosphere known as aurora, the best known of which is the aurora Borealis. Aurora can occur on the day and the night sides of the earth, and they can take different forms depending on the source of the particles, the type of particles involved, and other elements that may vary from case to case.

Abstract
This paper discusses the process of transmutation and defines it as the transformation of an atom of one element into another by natural radioactive disintegration or nuclear bombardment. The paper describes the work on transmutation of several physicists, including Ernest Rutherford, who achieved the first artificial transmutation in 1919 by converting nitrogen atoms into oxygen atoms. The paper also relates the steps that led to the ability to split the nucleus of an atom in an organized and controlled process thus confirming the scientific predictions that arose from the relativity theory and quantum mechanics.
From the Paper
"In the late 1920s Ernest Walton won a research scholarship to work with Rutherford at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. It was to him that Rutherford first assigned the task in 1927 of constructing a device capable of accelerating electrons to very high speeds. This project was a success but the achieved speeds still remained too slow. In 1929, John Cockcroft joined Walton in this project and together they worked to create an apparatus that accelerated positively charged particles to high velocities."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the horror movies of the 1940s and 1950s with today's plethora of gore and mayhem. The paper suggests that these previous films have greater cinematography and creativity than the bombardment of today's high tech industry. The paper provides examples of films from both time frames and looks at the plot and character development of the films.
From the Paper
"In contrast to this film, The Horror of Dracula is strikingly different. The highlighting effect that emotionally drew in the audience is the films underscore. The musical development of the film as it fits with key scenes allows the film to transcend the genre of horror and allows it to be at once horror, tragedy, and surprisingly romantic. The musical underscore tied the characters together in a love triangle and even without the films marked up-angle shots of the monster and the castle angles, the films music make a definite impression. The association between the monster and the music is completely riveting. Although music is used in horror films today their portrayal is mixed with a rock star atmosphere (as mentioned in the club scene in Blade), or the fact that the film wants to associate with the younger generation and so places guitar riffs into the action scenes. This effect merely produces a lot of hype that does nothing to replace the character development and scene development that a truly great musical score (as is witnessed in The Horror of Dracula) can bring to a picture (Internet Zombie Production)."

Abstract
The paper examines how the characters in "Midnight's Children" dictated the post-colonial values of personal life that have affected the writing style of Salman Rushdie as he dictates how western culture and economics still dominate India after Independence. The paper discusses how although the direct rule of the British and the Americans is not seen in the streets or in the physical property owned by Indians, the post-colonial culture and economic standards often create a identity crisis for Indians that must live through the constant bombardment of western culture over their own.

Abstract
This paper examines how, in today's highly competitive business world, it is important to keep pace with the changes in management trends and practices in order to stay ahead of one's competitors. It looks at how management gurus are of the opinion that, in the past two decades, excessive bombardment of new tools and trends had given rise to extreme complexity and how the future of management will most probably be marked by simplicity. Managers will, therefore, be using tools and concepts that are easier to understand, communicate, and implement.
From the Paper
"Managers must possess a great deal of experience because their job description requires application of factual knowledge to their work instead of intuition or vision. If they choose to lead the organization, it should be through knowledge alone and not a charismatic personality or bold ideas. "Leaders stand out by being different. They question assumption and are suspicious of tradition. They seek out the truth and make decisions based on fact, not prejudice. They have a preference for innovation."(Fenton, 1990) Managers on the other hand choose to stay with the facts and previous experience when making decisions."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief examination of American foreign policy from the Vietnam War to the bombardment of Cambodia, the Gulf War and the economic sanctions on Iraq as well as the present war against bin-La din's al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
From the Paper
"The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own government," said Martin Luther King in 1967. King's premise is presently shared by many, in the United States and elsewhere, who believe that the US is the "evil empire" of the second half of the 20th century. While the current American offensive is justified by many throughout the political spectrum. The Nation's Richard Falk maintains that "The war in Afghanistan against apocalyptic terrorism" is the first truly just war since World War II" others argue that the bombardment is merely another example of the violent, disdainful nature of America's foreign policy. The American intervention in WWII, of course, is widely regarded as a necessary contribution to the containment of the expansionist Nazi aggressors. Not too many people repudiate the legitimacy of that war, the mere existence of various non-white ethnic groups throughout the world is enough to dispel any counter notions. In retrospect, most people agree that the US would have saved the life of millions had it recognized the nature of the enemy sooner, and thus joined the war earlier. "

Abstract
This paper describes how teen magazines influence the way teenage girls view themselves and affect their self-esteem. The author examines the bombardment of perfect female images on girls, and how they struggle to achieve such standards of beauty. The paper discussed how young women begin to define themselves solely on how they look and how teen magazines teach girls that it is acceptable to be seen as objects.
From the Paper
"In the past few decades, teenage girls have been tremendously preoccupied with their looks. They are obsessed with their makeup, their hair, their clothes, and their weight. What is responsible for this obsession? If you flip through any one of the numerous teen magazines on the market, you will find on just about every page one of the following: a makeup ad, pictures of super-skinny, flawless models, tips on how to improve your looks or change your body, or pictures of girls being portrayed as sex objects."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the third battle of the Aisne. It details this excellent demonstration of the strengths of the German army during World War I as well as demonstrates why these particular strengths were not sufficient to win the war. It describes this German offensive that began on May 27, 1918. The author believes that the German success in this battle came about as the result of the finely honed German infantry tactics combined with a furiously concentrated artillery bombardment, operating under a sky dominated by the 'Jagdgeschwader' of the VII German army. But he feels that in the end, this battle did not help the Germans win the war in any way, in fact, it actually backfired at them.
From the Paper
"The Third Battle of the Aisne is most certainly not one of the best known battles of World War I. Perhaps this is merely because of that oldest of all war adages, which is that the victors get to write the histories, and that in the aftermath of the war late German victories were brushed aside. Perhaps it is not that often cited simply because, while every battle in a war is important, this one was not a turning point. And yet the battle does deserve to be examined as an excellent demonstration of the strengths of the German army during the Great War as well as a demonstration of why, in the end, these particular strengths would not be sufficient to win the war."

Abstract
This paper discusses how advertising has become a ubiquitous part of our culture, such that it is close to impossible to get through a day without being targeted by advertising of one kind or another. Moreover, none of us finds this very surprising, given that we live in such a materialist, consumerist society - our economies are fuelled by conspicuous, largely inessential consumption. But what does this mean for the innocents in our society, the young children? This paper reviews the research that has been done on this matter.
