This paper provides a business proposal in the form of a letter; "As someone who is always looking for a high-return, quick-turnaround investment, you will be interested to hear about a promising business opportunity I have launched. With the $75,000 I won in the lottery, I am opening a casual restaurant called Fred's Breads. As a lifelong chef and baker, I mean to create Canada's first combination bakery-casual restaurant. Over the past year, casual dining in Canada grew by 7.6%, almost twice as fast as the industry as a whole. Meanwhile, thanks to leaps in productivity, bread and bakery revenues are growing at 8.5% a year thanks to new baking equipment. "

Abstract
The paper relates that cue conception is one of the more commonly studied and analyzed aspects of human cognition and human learning, and explains that cue competition refers to the observation that potential causes of a given effect tend to compete for causal status (Beckers, 2005, p.238). The paper further explains that the perceived casual status of a given cue (X) in producing a given outcome is determined not only by the co-occurrence of X and the outcome but also by the degree of contingency between the other competing cues (p.238).

Abstract
The paper predicted that drug/alcohol abuse by students would be more significant among U.S. students than among Asian ones. Asia is relatively conservative in its outlook, while the United States is almost synonymous with experimentation and leisure. However, the research found that the use of currently illicit substances was socially acceptable in Southeast Asia. Also, the major growing areas for poppies and marijuana are located in or very close to Southeast Asia, making transportation easy and cheap. The paper concludes that U.S. students are therefore less likely to be heavy drug/alcohol users than are Southeast Asia students.

"In 1989, Rojek recognized that the negative side of leisure is a central factor in society when he said, "an obvious and indisputable fact about leisure in modern society is that many of the most popular activities are illegal" (1999, p. 82). Among college students in the United States, he found that the illegal activities were underage drinking and illegal drug use. Findings reported by Hoover, based on a survey of students at 140 U.S. college campuses, showed that "two in five college students regularly drink five or more alcoholic beverages in a row, which was significantly linked to the frequency with which they encountered secondary effects of alcohol consumption including date rape, scholastic difficulties, and violence (Hoover, 2002, pp. 34-37). A study by Tucker and Shinew (1995) examined the leisure pursuits of college age students, and found that 86% of those surveyed "consumed alcohol at least once a week and 40% used illegal drugs, primarily marijuana" (unpaged study). This material was based on self-reports, however, and might be skewed in favor of more alcohol and drug use, or less."

Abstract
This paper reviews the business plan of a small business. The business of choice is a coffee/tea cafe with attributes of a quick casual format food service establishment known as 'CTM' Coffee, Tea or Me. According to this paper, the restaurant industry is composed of two major segments: the full-service segment and the fast food segment. However, over the past decade a novel concept has quickly been developing into a new segment of its own: the quick-casual segment. It is this quick-casual segment on which this paper focuses.

Abstract
A critical analysis of the ways in which Michael Drayton and Edna St. Vincent Millay have used poetic form, structure and language in their poems 'Sonnet 61' from 'Idea', and 'If I should learn, in some quite casual way', based on the poems and wider reading in the poetry of love. The writer shows convincingly how both poets use equivocal language to conceal their true feelings; Drayton through his word selection and Millay with language coupled with imagery. Drayton appears to portray conviction about the death of the love affair, but in fact thereby reveals his inner conflict over the situation. On the other hand, the subtlety with which Millay masks her feelings reveals how powerful they actually are and may support an argument that Millay's poem, though similar to Drayton's, is, almost conversely, a much more satisfying depiction of love.

From the Paper
"The main thoughts and ideas which the two poets, Michael Drayton and Edna St. Vincent Millay, aim to convey in their sonnets (Sonnet 61, Idea, and 'If I should learn, in some quite casual way', respectively) are thus: in Sonnet 61, Drayton writes of a love affair which is drawing to a close, and conveys his regret, interestingly, through what might be called a psychological construct; he employs language which, while seeming to be the opposite of regretful, nonetheless does not fail to let us, the readers, know his true feelings of regret and continuing love despite his intentionally misleading language. Sonnet 61 is a highly equivocal poem, as is 'If I should learn'. In this poem Millay writes about her imaginary reaction to the situation of discovering that her lover has died. Though she expresses no explicit emotion (except perhaps for emotional distance and disinterest) and seems to describe an unaffected response, through her use of language (like Drayton - this is the main point of agreement between the two poems) and also imagery, she conveys her true feelings of deep affection behind the facade of disinterest."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the reproductive process and examines the risks involved in casual sex. This paper is written in an informal tone and the writer looks at the subject of sex among adolescents. The writer concludes that the reproductive story is an amazing, wonderful part of the human experience, but that the teenage years are not the right time to be weighted down with the obligations and responsibilities of childbirth. The writer maintains that the more children and parents know, and the deeper the level of sincerity that is embraced while parents counsel them about the dangers, the better the chances that they will be smart enough to avoid the tragedy and pain that is out there waiting.

"Actually, there are some species on the planet that would probably be glad if humans were no longer around to threaten them and pollute their habitat - like endangered whales, for example - but that's an issue to be discussed at another time.
On a serious note, let's talk about the female reproductive process first. You may already know a lot of this information, but maybe your little brother or sister doesn't, so let's go through it step-by-step to be sure we understand. We know that after teens have gone through puberty, reproductive processes are possible - that is, girls can get pregnant once they begin menstruating and boys can get them pregnant once they start producing semen, or sperm."

Abstract
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's short story, "The Old Man with Enormous Wings," might, from a plot summary, appear to be a light fantasy story. However, through closer examination, this paper shows that it is actually a very realistic piece of culturally accurate, albeit speculative, fiction. This story is very realistic because it shows the casual and reasonable way in which people are capable of accepting and integrating the absurd into their daily lives, acknowledges the lack of faith or curiosity which has perverted much of modern religion and does all this without stepping outside the lines of realistic occurrence.

From the Paper
"The casual naturalization of the miraculous may be a modern phenomena; at least it is certain that its effects on religion are relatively new -- for this naturalization has made it so that most religions no longer expect the supernatural and that much of science treats the occurrence of the supposedly supernatural with quiet disregard and the assurance that it has "natural causes" such as fraud. In Marquez's story, the local priest Father Gonzago writes to the Vatican for their opinion on the winged man. They respond with questions, but appear to dismiss his questions generally. This might seem odd. However, if one looks at worldwide reports of miracles (such as weeping Mary statues, stigmata sufferers, the existence of a girl in a coma who can heal people, or sightings of the Virgin or Christ), then one will notice that the Catholic Church has consistently sent inquiries into the subjects with a skeptical eye, and does not generally accept the truth of these miracles."
