Abstract
The paper discusses how since the advent of the internet in the middle-1990s, the music and entertainment industries have been desperately trying to find ways of preventing consumers from downloading intellectual property for free; there has been a widespread preoccupation with online pirating and with violations of copyright and patent protections. The paper describes Bill C-61 and its history, the paper outlines what bill C-61 will do to private consumers; from there, time is devoted to exploring how Digital Rights Management software will assert itself if the measure is ever passed. Finally, and maybe most importantly, this paper outlines why the entertainment industry - especially the music - is so eager to see Bill C-61 implemented and why litigation is most likely going to skyrocket thanks to bill C-61.
From the Paper
"What is bill C-61? How does it hurt private consumers? What is the role of DRM software in all of this? Why does the entertainment industry support such a measure? Why is litigation more likely under this measure? How does "fair-use" come into the equation? Final thoughts/conclusions."

Abstract
The paper outlines the brief history of Bill C-61 and what its key provisions are; the essay subsequently looks at how the new legislation - if ever passed - would tighten regulations vis-a-vis consumer obligations in the realm of copyright but would also impose an anti-circumvention law that, for all intents and purposes, would place ordinary consumers in jeopardy of being sued for merely recording their favourite music or shows for later viewing. At the same time, the paper discusses how the anti-circumvention measures outlined in the proposed bill would undoubtedly create renewed demand for Digital Rights Management software - which would hurt the entertainment sector because it would drive down consumer demand for goods fitted with the new software while simultaneously making a mockery out of the notion of "free TV".
From the Paper
"Definition of bill C-61. Anti-circumvention component of proposed law. Renewed demand for DRM software if legislation passes. Support in entertainment community for C-61. Notion of "fair-use". Greater likelihood of litigation if bill passes. The following paper will look at whether Canada's Bill C-61 is headed in..."

Abstract
The paper explores both the advantages and disadvantages of information technology and communication (IT&C) in the workplace. The paper then looks at solutions to improving the quality of work within organizations affected by the implementation of IT&C. The paper discusses how organizational leaders should present their employees with training programs, professional formation opportunities, empowerment in decision making or restrictions on the usage of non-work related internet websites.
Outline:
Introduction
IT&C in the Workplace
Advantages of IT&C in the Workplace
Disadvantages of IT&C in the Workplace
Improving Quality in Workplaces Affected by IT&C
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The idea of introducing IT&C within the workplace has been pegged to the need to create a learning organization that continually learns and evolves along. This organization is generally characterized by a fresh mentality and high abilities in understanding, addressing and adapting to the changes in the environment, be them related to technologies, employee trends or customer demands. The techniques of information and communication technological developments are generally introduced by organizational managers who are in search of increased levels of operational efficiency (high levels of profitability and productivity obtained with low resource consumption and reduced costs), but the responses retrieved from the employees are often conflicting."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

Abstract
The paper discusses chronic hepatitis C virus infection that is a major cause of chronic liver disease and death across the globe. The paper reveals that even in affluent nations such as Canada, deaths because of hepatitis C are increasing because of inadequate detection and treatment. The paper explores why hepatitis C infection is so difficult to control when there is an effective treatment for it. The paper discusses prevalence and incidence rates, the natural history of hepatitis C, the gent, host, and mode of transmission.
From the Paper
"Hepatitis C is one of three hepatitis viruses, the others being A and B. Hepatitis can be caused by viruses, but other causes are alcohol, drugs and other toxins. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease and death across the globe. Current treatment is able to eradicate the virus in about 60 percent of all cases, and also reduces the progression to cirrhosis in the other cases. However, even in affluent nations such as Canada, deaths because of hepatitis C are increasing because of inadequate detection and treatment."

Abstract
This paper explains that there are many different styles of writings which are developed from the author's appropriate word choice, varied rhythm, effective placement and choice of modifiers, appropriate transitions, effective and creative use of punctuation, variation of sentence length and a logical hierarchical placement of detail. The author examines the style of V.C Andrews by using a paragraph from her books "Flower's in the Attic", "Heaven" and "My Sweet Audrina". The paper relates that, while Andrews was alive, she only finished six books but her family hired a ghost writer by the name of Andrew Neiderman. However, the author feels that there is a difference between her writing style and that of her ghost.
Table of Contents
Definition of Style
V.C Andrews' "Flower's in the Attic"
V.C Andrews' "Heaven"
V.C Andrews' "My Sweet Audrina"
Ghost Writer Andrew Neiderman
From the Paper
"Yes, I do believe his work is very good. He can still see feel the anguish of what they are going through. But I don't think his writings are as dramatic as Andrews. He doesn't use the every day language and modifiers as she does. I think in a way they do portray the same things. For example, all of the main characters want to be happy, instead it takes a long time for that to happen. And in the process, several of the other character's are destroyed, with no intent on the main character. Something always happens to the one who is terrifying the main character."

Abstract
This paper traces the development of the J.C. Penney Company, an American department store chain founded in 1902, from its origin in Kemmerer, Wyoming, to its expansion into one of the most powerful discount merchandise and general retail companies in the U.S.A. J.C. Penney has stores in nearly every major metropolis nationwide, the largest catalog business, an Internet store and home furnishing television shows; however, the author states, Penney is not immune from the effects of the economic down turn. The paper describes the ways that this company is managing by rethinking its current structure and market campaigns, by opening and closing stores and by laying off employees.

Recent History of J.C. Penney
Success at the Turn of the Century
Economic Woes for the Corporation
J.C. Penney in the Market
From the Paper
'Although the company exhibits much higher grosses after buying out a number of smaller corporations, the profit J.C. Penney experiences after selling those corporation's products under its own name are not as great, as much of the earnings are due to the manufacturers and original corporations. In addition, the recent economic woes have also taken a serious toll on the J.C. Penney organization, as consumers are not as plentiful as they were just a few years ago. J.C. Penney continues, however, to offer new products, and merge with older companies."
