Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the narrative of the Emakimono style of scrolls provides the often clandestine nature of relationships that occurred between the Genji and his various familial and romantic relationships. The writer maintains that by understanding the key aspects of these two scrolls analyzed in this manner, the composition, coloration, and narrative comprehension and analysis of these scenes depict the secretive nature of royalty in Heian literature. The historical era that these scrolls depict reveal certain aspects of two-dimensional composition, which is often related to the coloration that seeks to set a mood that is amiable to the text and its connotations on the figures depicted in these paintings.

Abstract
The paper relates that, while employers certainly have the right to expect an honest day's work of their employees, employees should have the right to have a certain amount of privacy on the job; most Americans assume that they have a constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy: This is not the case. The author points out that, while monitoring phone calls may be one of the oldest ways in which employers infringe on workplace privacy, by far the most prolific is through the computer terminal even with software, which allows employers to monitor the keystrokes of their employees or the amount of time the computer terminal is idle. The paper stresses that most employees are unaware it is happening because of the clandestine way in which employers have imposed many of their monitoring techniques.
From the Paper
"It is also important for employees to keep in mind that their work-related e-mail is not private. As with the computer terminal itself, because the employer owns the e-mail system, they have every legal right to review the contents of all e-mails sent across it. This includes incoming and outgoing e-mail. Furthermore, this e-mail monitoring does not stop with work-based e-mail accounts. Employers may also have access to private web-based e-mail accounts and instant message communications used by the employee from the work terminal such as accounts through Yahoo and Hotmail. No employee should assume that simply because the account is not owned by the employer, that they do not have a legal right to pour over personal e-mails and instant messages. As deplorable as it is, several lawsuits regarding this very issue have been decided in the employer's favor, including cases against Nissan, Pillsbury, and Epson."

Abstract
The paper argues that abortion rights should be absolutely preserved on three major grounds: first, because statistics and data show that banning abortion does not work; second, because banning abortion necessarily leads to swarms of illegal and unsafe clandestine procedures; and third, because the right to choose is a fundamental human right. The writer concludes the United States should fight as hard as possible to prevent anti-abortion activists from reversing Roe v. Wade, a process that is already underway.

From the Paper
"The health care problems associated with clandestine abortions have economic as well as human repercussions because of the increased overall burden on the health care system from botched abortions. Paxman, Rizo, Brown & Benson (1993) note that clandestine abortions are a leading cause of death among women throughout the world, and that one out of between three and five unsafe abortions lead to hospitalization. Kulczycki, Potts & Rosenfield (1996) found that unsafe abortions lead to about 100,000 deaths per year and that two out of every ten maternal deaths are caused by unsafe abortions; most of the victims of unsafe abortions are in poor developing nations. However, if the United States makes abortion illegal it too could see a steep rise in maternal deaths and hospitalizations due to botched clandestine abortions."

Abstract
This paper discusses the case against Dr. Horror-Amit Kumar, the alleged mastermind of a shocking and reportedly expansive kidney trafficking ring, which has raised eyebrows in Canada, Europe, the United States, India and in civilized societies around the world. The paper explains that a clandestine, crime-syndicate-driven network of doctors have been providing stolen kidneys to wealthy people in India and other venues. The paper claims that this is an outrageously unethical and illegal violation of values and human rights. It argues for a world-wide cooperative strategy, run through the United Nations, the World Health Organization, or other respected international agencies, that will address the best way to get needed organs to people regardless of their ability to pay. The paper concludes that this issue has not received serious attention because Western nations are preoccupied with fighting terrorism.
From the Paper
"These illegally harvested kidneys were believed to have been transplanted into "more than 500 kidneys into foreign and well-paying Indian patients." Where did Kumar and his colleagues get those kidneys? The Star claims that Kumar made a "desperate attempt to bribe Nepalese police" when they arrested him in his hotel room in southern Nepal. Reportedly, Kumar offered police "2 million rupees" if they would let him go. They refused.
"Moreover, reports in the Star indicate that Kumar "and his network forcibly removed kidneys from more than 500 poor laborers over a period of nine years." One of those men was an Indian laborer named Shakeel Ahmad, according to the Star (February 10, 2008), who stood on the side of the main road to Delhi as he always did, waiting for someone to pick him up and offer him a job digging ditches or hauling heavy materials."

The author points out that these clandestine shelters are located in the New York City area. The paper relates that these shelters are designed to facilitate the transition of women and their children from homes in which they were battered to a lifestyle removed from their abuser.
From the Paper
"The Sanctuary for Families at the Sarah Burke House (Burke House) is comprised of multiple shelters that are established in the New York City area. These houses are clandestine shelters that provide a place for women and children to reside for up to 90 days. These shelters are designed to facilitate the transition of women and their children from homes in which they were battered (e.g.: physical violence and domestic violence) to a lifestyle which is removed from their abuser. Burke Houses are termed "sanctuaries" as they are removed from the public eye and provide undisclosed safe houses to families (Burke House, 2005)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, when Ronald Reagan became president, one of his most crucial goals was to stop the spread of leftist ideologies in Central America especially in Nicaragua. The author points out that, in Reagan's second term, this objective expanded into several separate entities concerning secret arms deals with the nation of Iran for the release of American hostages and the covert shipping of weapons and cash to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. The paper relates that the amazing details of these allegedly illegal actions were revealed to the public and became part of the American cultural consciousness in the form of "Irangate". The author stresses that a long series of highly-publicized governmental hearings, special investigations and the prosecution of many upper echelon officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations revealed that some kind of clandestine operation had occurred, which would determine U.S. foreign policy for years to come.
From the Paper
"The ultimate findings of the Tower Commission were not good for Oliver North who continued his covert operations with Iran for at least another year, all the while transferring arms and cash to his beleaguered Contra amigos in Nicaragua and shredding thousands of documents with the able assistance of his beautiful and loyal secretary Fawn Hall. When Oliver North was given complete immunity by the joint congressional hearings, he made it crystal clear to everyone involved that he was only carrying out his orders so as to defend his self-proclaimed "Operation Democracy"."

Abstract
This paper explains that legal and social discrimination against Christianity and individual Christians was the norm at all levels of society in Russia from 1945-1988. The activity of the KGB and government agents was a key factor during this time and this encapsules their view. The writer looks at the discrimination felt against both Orhtodox and Baptist groups and how the church that did not want to controlled by the state went underground and developed many clandestine activities including publishing activity that alerted the west as to events.
From the Paper
The period prior to the Second World War was a time of great suffering "for the Christians inside the Soviet Union but in the post -war years leading up to Glasnost their was still a tragedy being played out. The Kruschev era brought the beginnings of a new persecution and an attempted destruction of the churches and even after these harsh years there was still much persecution until Gorbachev's reforms. During this time the hierarchies of both the Russian Orthodox Church and the official Baptist body seemed to compromise with the State, whilst others, particularly those not belonging to a registered church protested and stood their ground and often suffered the consequences. Due to the comparative size of the Orthodox Church I will focus on it with some reference to others, particularly Baptists."

Abstract
This paper will focus on the breakup of the Standard Oil company in 1911, and will briefly discuss some of the reasons why this dissolution came about. This paper argues that the company's clandestine, and often dubious business practices began to take their toll on public opinion which was becoming increasingly hostile to the Standard. It was not only the practices of a single company that faced such hostile opposition, although it was the largest and most successful of the developing trusts at the end of the nineteenth century. It was also that Standard Oil was the industrial flagship of a wider trust-busting movement. The paper will conclude by discussing the inefficacy of the dissolution, which ironically caused the company's stocks to rise.

Abstract
This paper explains that advertising contributes to the conditions that cause prices to increase, making diamonds ever more valuable for clandestine transactions among the world's criminals and terrorists. The author points out that the media is responsible for carrying the messages that create the demand; the mine owners create the profit motive. The paper concludes that, even though diamonds reach the consumer via a number of criminal, corrupt, or terrorist individuals or organizations, De Beers's advertising is at the root of the civil wars, international ill will, and maiming and murdering of civilians, which happens in the countries that produce at least the so-called "blood diamonds".
From the Paper
"It was noted in the introduction that De Beers conducted an advertising campaign to decrease the number of those "forever" gemstones available for resale from family treasures, as well as using advertising worldwide to increase demand. This article contends that De Beers, which had been directly involved in Sierra Leone until the 1980s, did much more to control the prices paid for diamonds, which would in turn control the lengths people would go to in order to obtain them. After the beginning of the Sierra Leone civil wars, De Beers "its attempts to mop up supplies everywhere in the world, De Beers not only sustained the artificially high price of diamonds, it also undoubtedly bought diamonds from war zones"."
