Abstract
This ten-page senior level paper is on the book 'One Palestine, Complete' by Tom Segev who is a columnist for Ha'aretz, Israel's leading newspaper, and author of two now-classic works on the history of Israel, 1949: The First Israelis and The Seventh Million: The Israelis and the Holocaust. One Palestine Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate, is a panoramic view of life in Palestine during the three strife-torn but decades when Britain ruled and the seeds of today's conflicts were sown.

This paper presents a report on the CD recording, "Complete Lute Works, Vol. 1". The paper describes the performer of the lute on the recording, how the tracks on the CD are setup, the degree of authenticity of the music and what the writer has learned from listening to the CD.

From the Paper
"Because my previous exposure to early music before this class was non-existent and that the only early music I have heard in class is mostly chant, this recording is very refreshing and brings a new perspective on early music to me. By using the lute, this recording deepened my understanding of early music by integrating a group of familiar instruments into a genre that I was relatively unfamiliar with. Through the instrumentation and performance of the lute, I now understand that chant was not the only genre of early music."

Abstract
This paper is very in-depth and complex as it delves into Greek and Classical philosophy and the Christian religion with its Jewish roots. The paper discusses differences and similarities between different classical philosophies and Christian thought and how each has influenced the other. The paper first defines Christianity as a philosophy and explains why it can be considered as such; it sets up a basis for comparison. Then the paper discusses the similarities between Christianity and "pagan" philosophies. When that subject is exhausted, it moves on to contrast the two. After the general classic philosophies, the paper compares and contrasts the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, specifically, to Christianity. Finally, the paper "presents an argument for Christianity as a complete philosophy in the manner in which it can satisfy discrepancies in other philosophies while defending some of its own." The paper looks at problems with Greek philosophies and how Christianity solved them or presented an alternative.

From the Paper
"Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown, I am going to proclaim to you" (Acts 17:22-23, NIV). These words, spoken by Paul, mark the introduction of Christianity in Athens, Greece, a center of philosophy in the ancient world. Paul goes on to explain the heart of the religion to a group of Epicureans and Stoics in the marketplace. Some of the men "sneer" at him, but others ask him to speak of these "strange ideas" more so that they can understand. Acts 17:34 goes on to tell of several Greeks who become Christians as a result of Paul's message. The acceptance of Christianity as a new and interesting idea by some of the Athenian philosophers implies several things: first, that Christianity was itself viewed as a philosophy; second, that Christianity must have had something in common with the major philosophies of the day; and finally, that Christianity must have offered to some what the other philosophies of the day did not. Making these statements at this point in my paper may seem presumptuous; however, I am prepared to discuss my conclusions, first by showing that Christianity is a philosophy in the true sense of the word, then by comparing it to other philosophies, and finally, by showing how it "fills in the gaps" of other Greek philosophies."

Abstract
While completing graduate study, one of the major challenges for future nurses is to be as fully prepared as possible to enter the nursing profession. Critical thinking, problem solving complex patient situations, developing leadership and delegation skills, and justifying nursing care decisions are expected of nurses, so nursing students must focus not only on studying nursing profession texts, they must also develop related skills which will enable them to exhibit leadership, delegate authority, and fulfill the administrative tasks required in the nursing profession.

Abstract
This paper reviews and positively critiques Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple", focusing on the character of Miss Marple. The paper demonstrates how, despite being a quiet octogenarian who loves knitting, Miss Marple has the mind of a natural sleuth. After citing several examples from the stories to demonstrate this thesis, the paper concludes that the mysteries are fun, quaint and picturesque, which also inspire a love of the heroine and prove to the reader that crime need not be bloody to be interesting.

From the Paper
"This is important because most of the twenty mysteries in The Complete Short Stories revolve around very ordinary settings. The first short stories began at the Tuesday Club, a social club formed by Miss Marple and her fellow old ladies her a small, English country town. The club was originally founded purely for the pleasures of social gatherings-but soon this club's purpose becomes a place of discussion of a variety of mysteries that prey upon the minds and the members of the club."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the operation and utility of three world criminal tribunals. The paper explains that a combination of political and criminal activities in the international arena, and the inability or unwillingness of local governments to handle these at the time, have inspired the creation of entities such as the International Criminal Tribunal of Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR), and the International Criminal Court (ICC). The paper asserts that, while the principle behind the ICTY and ICTR is valid and even noble under the right circumstances, the effectiveness of the completion strategy has been under increasing debate. The paper adds that critics have gone as far as stating that the strategy is not only flawed, but risks undermining the very purpose and legacy of these institutions. The paper opines that, as many states still languish under non-democratic and tyrannical systems of government, it is therefore vital that the power of these be held in check by the global justice system. The paper concludes that the completion strategy can be successful; however, certain conditions need to be in place, two of which the most important include obtaining the necessary funding and establishing a permanent global justice system.

From the Paper
"In terms of its specific functions, the ICTY focuses its prosecuting attentions on the senior leaders suspected of involvement in crimes. Cases against leaders at lower levels are transferred to national jurisdictions that have proved themselves competent in handling such cases. The domestic criminal procedure is also no longer entirely overseen by the Tribunal, and courts are allowed to initiate cases where this appears to be necessary, and without the involvement of the ICTY. Indeed, one of the purposes of the completion strategy is the strengthening of the local justice system, and this appears to be well underway, with war crimes prosecutions being conducted on the local level in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia (UN ICTY, 2008). In order to ensure the success of such implementations, the ICTY functions in a counseling capacity for lawyers and relevant professionals at the local level. This is done via training programs and other such strategies. Furthermore, electronic databases and archives are made available to national institutions in order to ensure the smooth transition to the domestic environment. In this light, it can be said that the ICTY completion strategy has been a relative success. As indicated, not all critics agree with such an assessment."

From the Paper
"With the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) the requirement of organizations publicly-traded on American stock exchanges to adhere to the Acts' requirements for compliance and financial reporting significantly re-aligned internal information systems. In many organizations the IT systems had to be completely redesigned to provide for more efficient reporting and analysis of financial results to be in compliance to the requirements of SOX. The factor that above all else drives a high level of urgency within organizations to align their IT systems with the need for compliance is the audit process completed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of all publicly-traded organizations."

Abstract
This paper examines the formation and recent development of reality television: the type of television that reflects personal lives and encounters. The author attempts to tackle why reality television exists, the types of reality television that is offered and the future of reality television and society. Included is a review of different television shows that fall under this category.

From the Paper
"In the past few years? society and the entertainment industry has been more and more obsessed with the idea of reality-based television. This desire to find the real amongst society is a reflection on a society, which is based on lies, fraud and war. Television shows such as Real World, Cops, and Hard Copy introduced television viewers to the world of the unscripted and spontaneous. We often put aside these television programs calling them trash TV, or game shows, when really it is society, which has made these shows popular and allowed for the major networks, to demand for our attention in their scheduling. This essay will introduce many different types of reality television and begin to guide us to understanding why it exists and where it is expected to go. Society has been waiting for television to reflect our personal lives and the real world in which we live, and now it does."
