Abstract
This paper explains the importance of calcium in a child's diet and takes a look at the calcium intake and needs of children and adolescents. The paper summarizes a study on fracture rates vs. milk consumption, on adolescent bone mineral density and on calcium in vegan diets and then looks at dietary factors which affect calcium intake, absorption and calcium loss.

From the Paper
"Calcium intake in children may be insufficient for their needs, as their bones are growing and a study by Goulding et al showed that children who avoided drinking cow's milk for prolonged periods and did not consume calcium-rich food substitutes had low bone mineral densities. Low bone density combined with a high body weight increases the risk of bone fractures during growth when children are more prone to such fractures. Optimal bone growth cannot take place without sufficient calcium intake and in the Western countries dairy products are..."

Abstract
This paper describes the need and benefits of calcium in our lives and discusses the detrimental or negative effects of overusing calcium resources.

From the Paper
"It is obvious, the impact that calcium compounds have on our world today. It goes without saying that our lives would be very different without them. They are an essential mineral to maintain health, and an important component of many things that we need to make our lives better.
However, all of this convenience is not without cost."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief overview of the benefits of dietary supplementation, with a specific focus on calcium supplements. The writer takes a positive view of supplements, provided the supplementation takes into consideration the individual's biology and lifestyle needs. The author also recommends that the supplements are dispensed with clear labeling and in conjunction with a health professional.

From the Paper
"Perhaps one of the reasons there is such confusion about the issue of supplementation is the broad, sweeping claims made by popular manufactures of supplements, which promise generic cure-alls rather than sound advice. Not every woman may need iron supplements, if she eats fortified grain cereals and eats red meat. The personal and inexact science of creating an ideal diet, tailored to the individual, must be communicated on supplement labels by law. The current nutritional labels that give guidelines for generic 2,000-calorie diets for daily requirements, regardless of age, background, lifestyle, and quite often gender, are often misleading."

Abstract
The paper discusses how in today's globally competitive marketplace, the struggle to recruit and retain talent is more vital to business success than ever before, however, many organizations face resource limitations that create a competitive disadvantage in the so-called war for talent. The paper relates, however, that research shows that recruitment and retention can be improved through cost effective measures such as providing work-life balance opportunities for employees. Along these lines, the paper argues for a viable approach for companies who need actual benefits like work-life balance to compete effectively in the human resource market. More specifically, the current study argues that the use of concierge services can be a differentiator in helping attract and retain human resource talent.

From the Paper
"In today's globally competitive marketplace, the struggle to recruit and retain talent is more vital to business success than ever before. Despite the critical nature of this human resource function, however, many businesses struggle when it comes to being able to offer the same kinds of perquisites and benefits provided by companies with greater resources. That is, many organizations face resource limitations that create a competitive disadvantage in the so-called war for talent. Research shows,..."

Abstract
The paper explains that the balance between work and an individual's life is significant in modern society because the concept suggests that the person has some form of control over his or her existence. The paper then looks at Karl Marx's beliefs on working in a capitalistic society.

From the Paper
"The balance between work and an individual's life is significant in modern society because the concept suggests that the person has some form of control over his or her existence. At the beginning of industrialization Karl Marx noted that workers would ultimately have no control over their lives in a capitalistic society. Marx contended that there would be two classes in the social order - the wealthy and the laborers. In Marx' view, the wealthy would own all businesses and the laborer would depend on the business in order to survive in the social order. However, Marx also indicated that as time progressed the wealthy would manipulate the working..."

Abstract
As most students are well-aware, architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Unfortunately, too few architects, it seems, are able to find a balance between the practical science of building structures and the aesthetics of crafting art on a large-scale. As a result, the majority of architects in the present age exhibit too much imagination but too little practicality or too little vision - and end up producing buildings that are dull and uninspiring. With that in mind, the next few pages will look at two well-established architects who both try, but fail, to seamlessly integrate the aesthetic and the practical (the "science" of architecture) and who both fail - one (Thom Mayne) more so than the other - to incorporate the natural environment into their work. In the end, finding that perfect symmetry has mostly eluded contemporary architects.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the relevance of the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in retained earnings to anyone interested in examining the financial stability of a company.

From the Paper
"According to Michael Dennis in his book 'Credit and Collection Handbook' the Balance Sheet presents information about a company's assets liabilities and equity. The Balance Sheet provides a snapshot of everything that a company owns and owes on a specific date. Each asset liability and component of shareholders' equity reported on the Balance Sheet represents an account having a dollar amount or balance. The assets and liabilities section of the balance sheet are normally subdivided into current and non-current assets as well as current ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Morgenthau's feelings about how politicians and/or leaders must be viewed based on their decisions; Waltz's ideas on the ever changing outlook of the balance of power and Kissinger's ideas that history must be viewed in order to learn about countries and their ability to gain power.

From the Paper
"David Hume said "It is a question, whether the idea of the balance of power be owing entirely to modern policy, or whether the phrase only has been invented in the later ages?" (Thompson & Morgenthau 1952, 105). Yet, as history has evolved it is evident that the theory of "balance of power" began to be constructed in ancient societies when there was a concern that one entity would become greater, or more prominent, than another. In early Greece, researchers contend, there is the first evidence of a concern for nations to achieve a balance of power within the world. Yet, this concern gained greater significance during the reign of Louis XIV in France, and developed further in Europe during WWI (Thompson & Morgenthau 1952, 105). "

Abstract
An essay that describes market liberalism (otherwise known as libertarian economics) from the point of view of Al Gore. It is supposed to be part of an imaginary "new edition" of his extensive treatise on ecology and government, Earth in the Balance. It can also stand on its own as an opinion paper about environmental abuses by modern industry, and the worth of government regulation.

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the disease, osteoporosis. The paper first relates that, with aging especially in postmenopausal women, the bone mineral density (BMD)is reduced, resulting in osteoporosis, which has a higher risk for bone fractures. The paper also relates that, in addition to having the right health factors such as heredity, sex, and race, a diet rich in calcium and appropriate exercise are two of the most established methods of preventing osteoporosis. Some exercises designed to encourage muscular strength, bone mass and bone tissue to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women are aerobics, stair climbing, tennis, squash, racquetball and even walking. The paper also describes various exercise programs and drugs used to help treat osteoporosis.

From the Paper
"In order to understand how osteoporosis works, it is necessary to know the process of bone creation, known as osteogenesis. The forming of bone is a formation and resorption process. This means that there are two types of cells that perform opposite functions simultaneously in the constant renewing development of bone. Osteoblasts are the cells that form the bone. In order to form these structural units, osteoblasts lay down the matrix, an ongoing procedure of reformation."
