Abstract
This paper reviews the research methodology of a study described in an article from the "American Journal of Psychology" by Ronald T.Kellogg, 'Working Memory Components in Written Sentence Generation. The paper explains that Kellogg designed his study to evaluate if planning conceptual representations and linguistically encoding them into words and sentences depends on working memory. The paper explains the two phases of the project, which concluded that a heavy load on working memory impacted students' sentence generation skills. The paper then describes a second study that will be modeled after Kellogg's study and will look at how a heavy load" on working memory impacted students' mathematical skills.

From the Paper
"After the 10 trials, students will be given a visual memory trial on their screen just prior to the mathematical task. As Kellogg previously discerned that a six-digit memory task was considered a "heavy load," students will be asked to remember a series of six digits. They will have 7 seconds to memorize the digits, before the mathematical trials will begin. Students will complete the mathematical trials, after which they will see a series of six dots. Students will type the digits from the memory trial, replacing each of the dots."

Abstract
This paper explores and defines the basic components of Structural Family Therapy according to Salvador Minuchin, author of "Families and Family Therapy". Literary reviews and critiques of Minuchin's book and model for family therapy are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Times have changed, for the good, in the view Minuchin expresses in Psychology Today (Minuchin, 1993). He saw a sign that Americans are no longer stigmatized by "family therapy" through the election of the Bill Clinton / Al Gore administration in 1992. ?At the Democratic Convention, Vice President Gore said that his family was in family therapy without fear or concern that such a statement reflects a deficit, that something is missing.? Of course, the Clinton Administration's scandals made better headlines and fodder for gossip than the positive things accomplished in those years, and yet Minuchin was correct in saying that barriers and stigmas regarding "family therapy" have been broken down, and that, along with the proven family solutions found within SFT, is a very good thing."

From the Paper
"Today, many Americans are becoming increasingly obese as a result of hanges in lifestyle that have contributed to more sedentary habits at work and play. These trends make the continuing success of sporting goods companies such as Bass Pro Shops all the more intriguing and worthy of study. One of the biggest challenges facing such retail growth industries is the need for in-store security to prevent customer and employee theft, as well as to ensure secure transactions for their online catalog sales. This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed, scholarly and online organizational resources to identify, detail, and outline security components that will, can, and are currently being used in a retail sporting goods store, a Bass Pro Shop outlet, with both catalog and on-line sales. A summary of the research and important findings are presented in the conclusion."

Abstract
This paper points out ways in which ancient Greek poet Virgil drew from Homer's work, "The Odyssey" for his own poem "The Aeneid" and ways in which he differed. It shows similarities of plot, theme, and style in both these epic poems. The paper shows that the similarities between the two poems are many and yet, when each similarity is analyzed with a discerning eye, it is apparent that Virgil, by deliberately borrowing concepts, styles, themes and details from his predecessor, was on a quest to create an epic that would incorporate all the necessary classic requirements with his own unique additions that enhance the poem and possibly allow himself to surpass Homer.
From the Paper
"Virgil's epic masterpiece, The Aeneid, consciously draws from techniques, themes, imagery and plot from the great work of Homer, The Odyssey. While the similarities are striking and at times seem practically identical, it is clear that Virgil borrowed from Homer only to enlarge upon the themes and techniques employed by his predecessor in order to create a masterfully crafted work of art. All of the similarities between the two works contain subtle differences that allow for Virgil, who sees himself as the heir to Homeric poetry, to create a unique and distinctive poem that builds and expands upon Homer's trailblazing originality."

Abstract
The similarities and differences of suicide and homicide in the United States take place on a range of different levels. They include parallels and sharp contrasts between incidence and demographic groups, followed by causes and finally, proposed solutions. Perhaps the only way that these differences and similarities can be thoroughly explored is through a variety of sources, from trends that chart the homicide rates of African-American males to psychiatric and psychological sources of information on suicidal phenomena.

Abstract
The following paper will discuss the differences and similarities between gothic architecture in England and gothic architecture in France and argue that, while the two styles or schools can be differentiated in many ways, the one thing that they each have in common is that each one sought to impress upon the credulous, God-fearing worshipper the might of God and the might of the Church which, in its earthly form, served as God's emissary. To gain a proper appreciation of gothic symbolism, however, a great deal of context is required and many different things will have to be touched upon. Specifically, the next several pages will define the concept, "gothic," will briefly define "gothic" architecture, will describe/define gothic architecture as it manifested itself in England and France, and will take some time to highlight the Romanesque influences (and Islamic influences) which made possible what we now know today as "classic" gothic architecture. With these matters resolved, the paper will discuss why the gothic style would have been adopted in both England and in France (besides the obvious desire to glorify the Christian God) and the distinctions that exist between English and French gothic architecture (they are rather substantial) will be highlighted along with any similarities which might exist to link the two.

"The entire black society wants the family to suffer, knowing that Antoinette's father died and the farm went to ruin. After her father's death, they understand that the family lost male strength and thus, they turned against Antoinette, her mother, and her little brother. Her mother, Annette, still young and beautiful, tries to survive and remarries a wealthy man, Mr. Mason. This act does not diminish the community's hatred. Eventually, they force the family out of town by setting fire to the house. With sadness and horror, Antoinette says, "Nothing would be left, the golden ferns and the silver ferns, the orchids and the honeysuckle, and the picture of the Miller's daughter" (Rhys 27). When the family tries to get away, the black society mocks her family by saying: "Look, the white niggers! Look the damn white niggers" (Rhys 27). Antoinette watches her house burn to the ground and then suddenly, she notices her friend, Tia, among a crowd of slaves. Instead of running away from them, Antoinette runs toward them but Tia hits her with a stone:"

Abstract
This paper explains that research upholds the hypothesis that when an e-community consists of positive components, then the impact this virtual community wields upon its members will consequently prove to be positive. The author reviews questions relating to the definition and characteristics of an e-community, virtual community versus a "real" community and the dangers and miscommunications of these virtual communities. These results of specific questions are discussed in association with the literature. Recommendations for future research are included.

"Answers to survey question number 11 particularly contribute to the validation of this study's hypothesis. Each of the answers given by the 20 participants indicates their experience to be more positive than negative. Responses to the question: What benefits do you obtain from being a member of your e-community? This researcher notes that an e-community members' interactions with other members and their communities to rival interactions in "real" communities. These e-community members mutually interact as friends in fun-related ways to request help, obtain information/skills, communicate/network."

"One way eBay nurtures trust is through its reputation system while its success has been attributed to its commitment to developing a sense of community. eBay attracts and retains buyers and sellers to its site by affecting exchanges that are satisfactory to both buyers and sellers. eBay also provides information, learning opportunities, as well as personal development pursuits and fun, and relaxation. As e-bay implements specific strategies, along with the particular social psychological framework noted by Scott and Johnson (2005) to be described by Beenan et al. (2004), the e-community ensures individuals' responses are acknowledged, while they may also be recognized and rewarded. In August 2004, the average eBay user remained on the site for one hour and 48 minutes, which in 2040 denoted the longest time duration of any Web site."
