Abstract This paper takes an objective look at the events that precipitated the Arrow's cancellation. Also, a hypothesis is postulated as to why the aircraft was cancelled.
From the Paper "The Avro Arrow was considered the most technologically advanced aircraft in the western world at the time of its demise. The Arrow was designed and built in Canada, and its cancellation ended the jobs, hopes, and dreams for thousands of Canadians."
Abstract One of the great debated questions in literature is, "Is art supposed to reflect life as it is, as it should be, or is art for art's sake enough"? Jane Austen uses a play in her novel to suggest that art has something to teach its hearers, readers, or watchers. Austen uses a German romantic play, Lovers? Vows, to hold up the mirror of reality on the world she creates at Mansfield Park. The novel's characters have striking similarities in nature and situation to the characters they portray in the play. Jane Austen shows these similarities to her readers, and then, in an ironic move doesn?t allow the characters to see the similarities themselves. When the play is cancelled altogether, and social "tragedy" strikes the family later in the work, the reader can?t help but wonder if the entire mess could have been avoided if the novel characters had learned something from the play.
From the Paper "Usually, when a play is introduced into a work of fiction, the author is asking his or her audience to think about the nature of drama in general. Although the implementation of the play Lovers? Vows into Mansfield Park does take some consideration on theatre in general, the play itself is much more important to the novel than as just any given piece of theatre. Lovers? Vows is introduced into Jane Austen's book because it illustrates and emphasizes two major themes in the novel; first, the theme of a woman's right to choose her own husband, and second the theme of marriage for love rather than marriage for money. The play Lovers? Vows illustrates both of these themes, but accomplishes a greater task by establishing the novel as a mirror to the society in which Austen lived."

Abstract .Involved Levels of the Judiciary
The Constitutionality of the Line Item veto was decided on a federal level. U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan said the law, centering on its violation of Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution, violates the Constitution's requirement that the president sign or veto bills in their entirety. Judge Hogan said that the line item veto bill also gave the President part of Congress' lawmaking role (Biskupic and Barr, 1998).

Abstract This paper examines how for many years, ships were the only means of travel between many parts of the world and therefore, were a major means of transportation. Today, air travel has become the preferred means of travel, especially when there is a need to travel long distances and one is short of time. It looks at how point-to-point steamship travel may connect one to one's destination, but this mode of transport is by no means as popular as is sailing purely for pleasure, on a cruise. Cruise travel is usually a round trip and is considered as a total unit, while point-to-point steamship travel is undertaken between two or more ports.

From the Paper "Today, the scene has changed, and cruise lines are bringing their ships nearer home. Cruises of short duration are now to be had for the asking, are more affordable than ever before, and cater largely to the younger crowd. Some lines cater to the singles groups, some to honeymooners, and some to families with reduced rates. Nearly 40% of all first-time passengers are under 34, and 62% are under 55. Plenty of ships now sail out from ports like Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and Los Angeles, as well as from New Orleans, Tampa, Galveston and San Diego. The addition of many new departure points from the U.S. mean that your ports of call are almost unlimited, and that one can drive up to a cruise, altogether eliminating the hassles of air travel such as airport queues, foreign airports and immigration lines. This is especially relevant, given the implementation of new and often frustrating airport security checks."
Abstract A paper discussing the debt problems (and possible solutions) of Mozambique. Racked by past civil war and governmental mismanagement in addition to a current flooding crisis, Mozambique is struggling to survive. While successful efforts have been and are being made, the country still relies on foreign aid to balance the budget. A combination of debt cancellation and knowledge seems to be the only answer.
Abstract This paper will cover the book "the Cancer Journals" by Audre Lorde. Three journals will be written about in an annotated bibliography discussing the book, while also telling a brief biography of her life. By seeing the different perspectives of the journals chosen, we can better understand the scope of her book. By gathering certain articles, we can understand the many differing viewpoints on the book and how it affects the current status of study in breast cancer research.
Abstract Used, abused, and confused by the grinding, unforgiving machinery of celebrity, the aging TV child actor, from Ricky Nelson to Brandon Cruz, from Patty Duke to Dana Plato, has always been more susceptible to the "crash-and-burn" than your average, not-so-cute-and-cuddly-anymore youngster. But what about Gary Coleman? What is he supposed to do? Disappear? And there it is: The Gary Coleman Paradox, the Former Child Star Dilemma. When their time is up, when their shows are canceled, we want them to go away. But they can't. Reruns assure otherwise; our TV-burned memories assure otherwise. We don't need to see another second of another "Diff'rent Strokes" to know that Gary Coleman is pint-size Arnold Jackson Drummond from Harlem. Now and forever. He can't go away. They can't go away. And, for that, we make them pay. If it was impossible for the TV kids of the 1950s and '60s to know the traps that lay ahead, it was impossible for the TV kids who followed them not to know.
Abstract This paper explains that Dell Computer Company's was criticized because they used prisoners to recondition computers, and they located their customer service center in India.The author points out that, upon receiving criticism for these policies, Dell Computer canceled its contract with Unicor, a branch of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which uses prisoners for electronics recycling and other similar industrial contract jobs, and brought some of their call centers back to the U.S. from India. The paper concluded that Dell is sensitive to its environmental and societal, labor responsibilities but only after those are made public and may affect its relationship with its customer base.

From the Paper "The other point of their study was that although academics and business leaders have debated the social responsibilities of business, few have a handle on what the public expects. Corporations, they contend, cannot know how far to go toward helping their communities without this information. But they did note that there is a growing body of literature concerned with defining what it means for a company to be socially responsible. The paper concludes that a socially responsible company must have concerns beyond short-term profitability, and that it must have a commitment to ?minimizing or eliminating any harmful effects and maximizing its long-run beneficial impact on society.?

Abstract This paper begins with an explanation of the four common methods of providing bidirectional communications between two devices and then explains the technique of transmitting multiple optical signals on a single optical fiber known as wavelength division multiplexing. The paper concludes with a comparison of single fiber transmission and dual fiber transmission and an explanation of the advantages of single fiber transmission.
From the Paper "Duplexing methods determine the overall throughput that is shared between the two directions of transmission: downstream and upstream. The important property of a duplex method is its ability to achieve a good distribution of high data rates for all the loops in a cable binder. If the same frequency bands are used simultaneously for both upstream and downstream transmission in a cable binder, the available capacity will be severely affected."
Abstract This paper presents an overview of health care and health scare problems that have, or could occur at any of the destinations that the staff of a travel agency book for their clients. The paper examines the plans they have now in place to handle any and all problems, whether health-related, stress-related or due to some unfortunate occurrence. The procedure for shortening or cancelling a cruise, voyage or other tour is discussed.

From the Paper "While there are more travel opportunities- and people who can afford travel now- and while science and health are priorities at nearly every part of the world, still there are unforeseen health problems that have arisen, and will continue to arise that can cause problems to the innocent traveler. Therefore, as those responsible for setting up itineraries and tours, we must be ready to implement any and all emergency plans related to health problems. "2o Million Americans travel internationally every year...At my business we organize and lead 120 tours a year every year for the last twenty...and we've dealt with the understandable concerns of loved ones..." Much of the concern may be about possible acts of terrorism, especially in crowded areas as well as some of the less-traveled hinterlands of overseas nations. To really bring the health problem current, as this memo is written (Feb. 21, 2000) an Associated Press report in newspapers mentions a new "Mad Cow" disease outbreak in France. This is "the seventh since the beginning of the year...Authorities have said that new cases of mad cow disease will break out in France until 2001, five years after stringent prevention measures were taken, which has an average incubation period of five years.""
Abstract This paper outlines the American Farm Bureau's position that the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) can be be met without
restricting or canceling the safe use of pesticides. The paper explains that the FQPA, designed and implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), restricts the use of certain pesticides on any food crops raised in the U.S. and that the Farm Bureau holds that the FQPA must be also be implemented in a manner that will ensure farmers and ranchers continuous access to safe and affordable crop protection.
From the Paper "The American Farm Bureau supports H. R. 1592, the Regulatory Fairness and Openness Act of 1999. This bill provides for guidance for all EPA limitations or cancellations of pesticides. It requires the EPA to submit a written report identifying areas where assumptions were used when data was insufficient for making tolerance decisions. It also requires the identification of any alternatives to the particular pesticides under review. The EPA must use actual data from scientific research before modifying or revoking tolerances of these pesticides."
This paper examines the issue of sex between therapists and their patients, as well as the potential problems that could arise from such relationships.
Abstract The writer of this paper contends that the issue of sex between therapists and their patients is not a new one, and that the potential problems that could arise from such a relationship have been considered since the beginnings of the practice of therapy. From the beginning of the modern therapeutic relationship, therapists have themselves recognized the harm that could result from sexual involvement with patients. Such prohibitions within the field of medicine as a whole have ancient roots: The Hippocratic oath, which forbid doctors to have sex with their patients so as to preserve the sanctity of their relationship. This paper details various reports and studies on this subject. The American Psychological Association (APA) suspends or expels 12 of its members each year on average for various forms of patient exploitation, of which almost all are sexual. Studies have shown that a number of specific characteristics make certain attributes of patients more sexually attractive. These include: Physical attractiveness, positive mental or cognitive traits and sexuality. This paper explores the various courses of action to be taken if a client feels exploited in anyway by his/her therapist. This paper also details the potential problems, to the patient that could arise from such a relationship which include: The client having difficulty in trusting future therapists. They are not able to make changes without trusting the therapist. The client may sit huddled, avoid making eye contact, withhold important information or may even cancel appointments.
From the Paper "It is critical for the therapist to seek help from a friend, supervisor or any one else who can help ensure that the therapist does not act in a manner that will interfere with the client's best interests. The APA had strict guidelines and ethical principles, along with a formal code of conduct, to help its members set boundaries for themselves in Document four. In Document four, it explains how a therapist should conduct himself or herself when they face with a possible sexual relationship with a client. It is obvious that the APA Stance of therapist and client relations is very strict. And, the study that was conducted by Pope Ken Velter in 1972 is very true for the modern society."
Abstract This paper analyzes and discusses the Bay of Pigs invasion, implemented and designed by President John F. Kennedy, and the impact this failed maneuver had on American foreign policy and on American-Soviet, as well as American-Cuban relations. The paper describes the attempted invasion, the Cuban response to the invasion, the events leading up to the invasion and why it represents one of the worst political disasters in recent U.S. history. The paper further discusses the political repercussions that followed the attempted invasion and its long-lasting impact on American-Cuban relations.
From the Paper "On the morning of the invasion, it was reported that the exile forces, together with the CIA, had literally destroyed numerous locations, had landed in several provinces within Cuba, had freed thousands of political prisoners and had driven inland, practically dividing the whole country into two separate parts, not to mention placing the Cuban Navy in revolt. In reality, however, none of these claims were true, for the exile forces in the Bay of Pigs encountered immediate difficulties. For example, the location for the first assault was suppose to have been an isolated area, a good place for a surprise attack, yet the forces discovered a militia patrol which destroyed the element of surprise; the beachhead was suppose to be sandy and free of obstacles, yet many reefs were encountered which sank some of the boats. Worst of all, Castro's men were lying in wait just north of the original landing point. Much gunfire then erupted and the exile forces found themselves pinned down; to make matters worse, reports soon came in the Russian tanks were moving closer with every passing minute."

From the Paper "The new system is composed of 4 sub-systems which provide a complete and accurate response to emergency incidents, both in the field and in the no less important realm of auditing. The auditing system is of prime importance to the Victorian Government as by law it must assess the Emergency Services to ascertain if they are functioning in an efficient manner and at a suitable level."

Abstract In his attempt to achieve global domination, Adolf Hitler made many crucial decisions which ultimately affected both the outcome of World War II and the fate of his own regime. This paper examines three major decisions made by Hitler that eventually changed the direction of the war. It looks at how the first of these was his failure to give his full support to a Mediterranean campaign and how many of his advisors felt that the capture of Egypt and the Suez Canal would have weakened Britain considerably and might even have lead to eventual capitulation. It then examines his postponement and eventual cancellation, of Operation Sea Lion. Finally, it discusses his decision to invade Greece and Yugoslavia and the effect it had upon Operation Barbarossa.
From the Paper "On October 3, in an address to the German people, Hitler announced the collapse of the Soviet Union. He declared that Russia was finished, and that Britain's dreams of a two front war were dead. His optimism seemed justified, especially after the fall of Kiev on September 19, followed by the victory in the Battle of Kiev on September 26, which resulted in the capture of some 665,000 Soviet prisoners, according to German reports. (7 1124) Hitler viewed this battle as "the greatest victory in the history of the world," though some of his generals did not share his views on its strategic importance. Heinz Guderian, among others, felt compelled to speak to Hitler about the capture of Moscow."
