Abstract This paper discusses the pilots do endanger themselves, passengers, and the craft by deliberate actions. The author points out instances in which a pilot may misdirect an aircraft.
From the Paper "This paper examines some of the reasons why pilots take deliberate actions to ground their planes thereby endangering themselves any passengers and the craft. When we hear about the grounding of an airplane ,we are likely to think first about mechanical problems with the aircraft or adverse weather conditions or in our post era about sabotage. However, there are also instances in which a pilot while in control of the aircraft experiences excluding situations such as when a pilot accidentally presses a lever because he or she ..."
Abstract This paper describes three companies in three different sectors that are pursuing a deliberate strategy and three that are pursuing an emergent strategy. The first part of the paper looks at examples of deliberate strategy, whereby the decisions are initiated from within a company and accord with the company's intrinsic goals. The paper then explores three companies that use emergent strategy, where the company continually shifts its strategy in line with the market's needs.
From the Paper "An apparel company that is currently using an emergent strategy is Vans, which is continually shifting its strategy. In the arena of youth fashion in which Vans operates, producing shoes as well a clothes for the segment of the youth market that associates itself with skateboarding, being the "in" label is the most important thing. It is the most important thing for the company but it is also the most important thing for those who wear Vans products. There is actually relatively little that a company can do to guarantee this "in" status: Such a designation as being in is made by the young men (and some very few young women) who identify with this brand."
Abstract This paper discusses athlete training. The paper details the practice of using deliberate play and deliberate practice concepts in training sessions and explains how these concepts allow the coach to incorporate the athlete's feelings and thoughts into situations involving the game. The paper also cites studies that show how this method can influence athletes' perception of the practices and training they receive.
From the Paper " Both concepts consider the athlete's desires as well as the supportive role of the parents and coaches in assisting the athletes in obtaining those desires. The coaches are called upon to provide the athletes with the resources including training such as skill training, conditioning, team concepts, and positioning theories. The parents offer a supportive role as well, oftentimes becoming the sounding box for the athletes that can be both negative and positive in feedback.
"Deliberate play begins when the athletes are young and requires training at a rate of 2-5 hours per week. The training time increases through the years until approximately a decade later the athletes are practicing at a rate of 25 - 30 hours per week. Each stage incorporated into deliberate play is defined in a certain manner. These distinct stages of development include different types of activities through the early years, middle years, later years and maintenance years. The activities are mainly focused on deliberate activities used to ensure the athlete is progressing. This concept also states that the hours of practice should have direct results and a corresponding improvement in the performance level of the athlete."
Abstract This paper examines the history of the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and how it has evolved inside the judicial system into the right to preventive healthcare within the prison setting. The author studies diseases such as viral hepatitis and how the justice system has dealt with this disease. This paper discusses human papillomavirus (HPV) and how it can be compared to viral hepatitis types B and C. The author concludes that the standard of deliberate indifference to health care needs in women's prisons requires the United State's justice system to immunize women prisoners to prevent the spread of HPV and cervical cancer. The paper argues that it is now the obligation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to add to the "Clinical Practice Guidelines" a requirement for mandatory testing for HPV and for immunization with Gardasil for those who are at high risk of HPV.

Conclusion
From the Paper "In "Ruiz v. Johnson", a group of inmates had sued the Director of the Texas Department of Corrections. The plaintiffs alleged that conditions in the correctional facilities violated Eight Amendment protections. Conditions were so extreme that the United States joined in as a plaintiff, against the defendant's resistance. The case includes commentary from Dr. Robertson, an expert in the trial. He stated that he saw two cases of "potentially preventable" cancers where the patients received delay in diagnosis and treatment, causing a negative prognosis. The defendants argued that the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) accredited them and therefore their practices were constitutional."
Abstract The paper describes self-harm as a physical expression of emotional distress and highlights the need for a strong focus on psychological care for patients who self-harm. The paper explores self-harm triggers, looks at nurses' attitudes towards mental health patients and their needs and provides an understanding of the needs of patients. The paper then explores the attitude of health care workers towards young prison inmates who deliberately self harm. The paper concludes that more research is needed on self-harm prevention and on the practice of professionals working with people who deliberately self-harm.

Introduction
Literature Review
From the Paper "Deliberate self-harm, (DSH) described as a behaviour not an illness (Isacsson and Rich, 2001, 213), is a complex issue with much debate surrounding its cause and treatment (McAllister, 2003, 177, Freeman, 2002, 10, Redley, 2003, 348). Deliberate self-harm is frequently encountered in emergency departments (ED) but is a hidden health problem world-wide. Approximately 4% of the population self-harms and it is one of the leading five causes of acute medical admission for women and men (Wilhelm, Schneiden, Kotze, 2000, 349). Nine out of ten people who self-harm seek help in emergency departments (Crawford, 1998, 18), so the role of emergency nurses is fundamental to ensuring that they receive timely and appropriate care. Research suggests that patients who present at assessment and emergency after self-harm incidents repeat the behaviour (Joiner, 2002, 33, Morgan and Coleman, 2000, 391)."
Abstract This paper describes a way of life called voluntary simplicity, also known as simple living, and explains that it is a lifestyle in which, unlike poverty, individuals deliberately choose to decrease material needs in order to achieve a life full of simple pleasures. The paper describes the philosophy of those who choose voluntary simplicity as a way of life, its origins as a social movement, and its benefits. The paper concludes that voluntary simplicity is a means of capturing the essence of one's life by deliberately choosing one's path rather than living through a series of events. It is a way to which adherents can regain time with their family, friends, and with themselves by consciously choosing how and why they work.

Conclusion
From the Paper "Work and money. These are two of the most lamented topics in America. In the not-so-simple pursuit of the American Dream most people are at the mercy of their job and their pay-check, living way beyond their means week by week. For simple living, there are two important rules to work. First, "find something that you love to do and get paid for it [and secondly,] live under your means." While Middle Americans are working full-time jobs and eking by on their paychecks, simple living encourages balance by living under their means and working fewer hours."

Abstract Deliberate self-harm (DSH) or self injurious behavior (SIB) involves intentional self-poisoning or injury, irrespective of the apparent purpose of the act. This paper presents an in-depth overview of the issue, including psychological causes of the problem, treatment available and myths surrounding DSH.

Conclusions
From the Paper "The forms and severity of self-injury can vary, although the most commonly seen behavior is cutting, burning, and head banging. Other forms of self-injurious behavior include: carving, scratching, branding, marking burning/abrasions, biting, bruising, hitting, picking, and pulling skin and hair. Knowing that DSH people inflict self-injury for physical or emotional reasons is important. It is not per se, a voluntary act. Therefore it should be distinguished between other forms of body mutilation. These forms are body piercing, tattooing and scalding patterns in the body. These are voluntary acts. They are performed either for sexual gratification or for body decoration. Sometimes these acts make people one of a crowd or it enables others to fit in among their peers. Several cultures view body painting, piercing, tattooing and other forms of body mutilation as rites of passage. Other times, they are parts of cultural or religious rituals. These voluntary acts are not self-injurious behaviors."
Abstract This paper reviews the history of the concept of ethical decision making, with roots that began in early Greece with Aristotle. The paper discusses how these views have evolved throughout modern society as steps that function to ensure that decisions are beneficial to the greatest number of individuals in the business environment. While ethical decision making is not always a significant factor for many modern business leaders, it allows for a stronger workforce and organizational culture that will be supportive or organizational goals over the long term. The paper further discusses how, in Aristotle's view of ethical deliberation, the motivation behind the decision must first be considered. In leadership this motivation should be focused on creating an environment in which the greatest potential of the workers can be realized.
Abstract In allowing Satan to take all that Job possesses, but not to physically harm him, God takes from Job everything he holds dear, his family, his wealth, his integrity, his dignity, leaving him wounded to deliberate his faith. This paper explains, however, that Job does not deliberate his faith, only God's intention. Throughout his trials and suffering, Job denies his right to blame God. This is the first temptation. Job passed this test by never blaming God. He verbally admits that God gave him all things, so it's God's right to take these things away.
From the Paper "In Job's closing monologue he unwaveringly maintains his righteousness, setting himself apart from the enemies of God and their punishment. The dialogue displays the common understanding that the friends maintain: God prospers the righteous and punishes the wicked. Job, apparently showing his superior faith, argues that suffering is hidden in the sovereignty of God; however he still yearns for an explanation."
Abstract This paper explains that Harry Sylvester's "I Won't Do No Dive" represents the cultural phenomenon of the fixing of boxing matches, which is commonly told in sports-themed literature and Hollywood screen plays. The author points out that, even the incorrect phrasing of the term, "I won't do no dive", is a deliberate double-negative, familiar as both the text of a boxer who won't deliberately lose a match and as a double-negative that resonates of the poor English of a boxer growing up in a rough area and enduring many battles in his attempted climb to the top. The paper relates that match fixing provides for an interesting literary device by creating a complicated dilemma, which underscores the importance of honesty and competition in sport and how the corruption of these mottos commonly debases it.
From the Paper "The era in which the story was written (the 1930s) also has literary implications, as we witness the rough-and-tumble surrounds of a struggling boxer in the earlier part of the twentieth century. The characters speak in the incorrect English of a rough area in a bygone era - which is not specified, but his again is a good literary device: we romanticize the era and the place, perhaps imagining a rough, no-holds-barred Brooklyn, where even the rough, down-on-their-luck crowd have dreams of boxing and making it big."

Abstract This paper argues that the allegation that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which were never discovered, was a deliberate deception by the Bush administration to justify their aggression in terms of containing terrorism by maintaining the international balance of power. The paper further asserts that Bush ignored the truth that he heard from his advisers and deliberately misled the American people to make an excuse to go to war with Iraq. The paper contends that Bush wanted to secure America's position of dominance, power and access to oil resources in the Middle East and tricked the American people into thinking that going to war with Iraq was a way of waging war on terrorism.
From the Paper "The primary thrust of Bush's argument for the invasion of Iraq was that Iraq was a serious threat to the rest of the world because it was building WMD. This is an interesting allegation, given that the only country that really has a large supply of WMD is the USA. However, it must be borne in mind that those countries who seek to justify owning WMD - such as the USA - seek to do so in terms of deterrence theory. The idea is that if rational countries such as the USA and Russia possess nuclear weapons, their mutual knowledge that the other country has WMD will deter either country from ever deploying the WMD."

Abstract In this article, the writer notes that duality in literature and drama is a common theme suggesting various relationships between people, attributes, character traits, and also suggesting the larger dictum that things are not always what they seem. The writer discusses that the 'Alchemist' is a comedy written in verse and that two of the central themes in this play are inherently shaped around ideas of duality. The first of these themes is that of illusion versus reality, again a common theme in drama and one that includes duality as how things appear is not how they truly are. This theme also shows the tendency people have to see what they want to see and to fail to perceive the true nature of people and things in this world. A second theme in this play is transformation, clearly a term related to the idea of an alchemist, who had as his primary goal changing base metals into gold, an idea that was an illusion in itself. The writer notes that in the 'Alchemist' this idea involved a deliberate duality as even the concept of alchemy itself becomes the subject of and means to a swindle, a deliberate illusion to mask the true intent of the perpetrator.
From the Paper "The names of the characters have a duality all their own as they tend to be fitting to the real character while the character him or herself seeks to hide that fact. The three conspirators are Subtle, Face, and Dol Common, and the use of the word "subtle" in particular suggests deception. Their primary target is Sir Epicure Mammon, a man whose name represents two of the seven deadly sins, gluttony and greed. The house where the conspirators create their illusion is owned by a man named Lovewit, also suggestive of one who knows a deception is taking place and who enjoys the game of it, though in fact he has left London to escape the plague. The conspirators want to be all things to all people, so long as this will give them an advantage and enable them to fleece those who visit them. Mammon is attracted by their promise of the Philosopher's stone, a legendary artifact that can turn base metals into gold and that is the object of all alchemical inquiry. Kastril is attracted by the promise of a charm so he can win at cards. Drugger the tobacconist wants his shop cleansed of impurities and supernatural threats. The duality of the three conspirators is matched by that of Pertinax Surly, the man who sees through their deceptions and who uses a disguise of his own to investigate."
Abstract This paper is a short discussion of the Robert Browning poem, "My Last Duchess." The author grapples with the idea that the protagonist, Alfonso II -- a past duke of Italy -- replaced his wife with a work of art -- a portrait of her. This action, carried out by the duke after much deliberation, was a direct result of the fact that he wished to possess and manage his wife, like and object, forever, without opposition -- something he could not do while she was alive.
From the Paper "My Last Duchess," written in 1842 by poet Robert Browning, is a dramatic monologue in which the speaker is assumed to be Alfonso II, a past duke of Ferrara, Italy. In this poem, the duke is presenting a portrait of his late wife to an emissary who is attempting to arrange yet another wedding for the duke. Throughout the selection, the duke's overflowing jealousy and fanatical possessiveness towards the woman he is describing are exposed, and his inner emotions even towards the portrait itself are revealed, allowing the reader to clearly perceive the development of the duke's character."
Abstract In this paper the author looks at various explosive disorders suffered by children and the symptoms that they demonstrate. In particular the author looks at intermittent explosive disorder, defiant disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress syndrome, bipolar disorder and Tourette's syndrome. The author moves on to discuss what the warning signals are and how adults can help child sufferers.
From the paper:
"Explosive behaviors in these children are hard for adults to understand. Many parents assume that the child is deliberately provoking them. On examination this view doesn"t hold up to scrutiny. It doesn?t seem likely that a child is thinking clearly when in the middle of a raging meltdown, and it seems unlikely that a child would choose to act in a way that makes both him and those he loves most extremely unhappy.?

Abstract This paper discusses the history of suffrage in the United States and it's affect upon the distribution of power between the Republican and Democratic parties at different points in American History. It discusses the three most central suffrage movements in the United States: universal white male suffrage, universal black male suffrage, and universal female suffrage and the expansion of voting rights that coincided with each of these three movements.
From the paper:
"While the universal white male suffrage progressions in the first period had more to do with the influential ideas of the French Revolution and democracy in general, an incentive to settle the western frontier, and increasing trust of the non-upper classes, the suffrage progressions of blacks and women came about from more deliberate effort. Two main reasons for the attainment of the vote by blacks and women is the weakening of the political parties and the increased activist role of the federal government that occurred in the twentieth century."
