Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that, throughout time, the quest to dominate another is limited only to the imagination of one man poised against the other. The writer points out that sometimes common flu symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, coughing, and shortness of breath are the first signs of chemical and biological warfare (CBW). The writer maintains that for some reason, the more one searches for answers to counter the effects of CBW the worse it gets. In this essay, discussion centers upon the 1972 Biological Weapon's Convention and the Geneva Protocol. The writer focuses on scientific research in this regard and identifies several items that are being used to help detect biological and chemical agents.

Chemical Agents and their Effects

From the Paper
"Throughout history, chemical and biological weapons (CBW), warriors and terrorists have used a wide range of tactics and techniques to help defeat their enemy on and off the battlefield. These weapons are used in war to gain the upper advantage against a more formidable adversary, to enhance the political status of a rogue terrorist group, or to cripple the economy of a nation from the simple mailing of a threatening letter with powder. Whatever the reason, the unknown effects of a release can be devastating. Law enforcement personnel who respond to the initial crisis of a release or assist with the aftermath have to know the difference between a chemical and a biological agent release. These weapons of war also have evolved from throwing rocks and sticks at each other to the unthinkable weapons of mass destruction called bioterrorism. You may ask yourself, what is bioterrorism? The Center for Disease Control defines bioterrorism as the intentional or threatened use of bacteria, fungi, or toxins from living organisms to produce death or disease in humans, animals, or plants and involves intimidation of nations or people to accomplish political or social ends."

Abstract
The paper describes how the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM IV-TR) put forth the following criteria for diagnosing a specific phobia: exaggerated, irrational, "marked and persistent fear...cued by the presence or anticipation of a specific object or situation;" marked anxiety response or panic attack resulting from exposure to the stimulus; a realization by the patient that his reaction is "excessive or unreasonable;" avoidance of the stimulus or continuous exposure with associated "intense anxiety or distress;" significant interference with the patient's daily functioning in several settings; is at least 6 months in duration and is not otherwise accounted for by similarly presenting disorders (e.g. OCD, PTSD, other phobic disorders, among others) (qtd. in Sadock, Kaplan & Sadock, 2007, p. 600). The paper notes that although sympathetic nervous system manifestations (e.g. cold sweats, tremors, increased blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates, shortness of breath, dizziness, numbness/tingling, etc.) accompany anxiety responses, it is imperative to exclude general medical conditions that can mimic anxiety responses such as hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, drug intake/overdose, pheochromocytomas, etc. (Albucher, 2005).

Abstract
The paper discusses how marijuana, the product of the Indian hemp plant, has been utilized for centuries to help alleviate nausea, dizziness, pain and other complaints. The paper then addresses the concerns with the legalization of medical marijuana that focus on cannabis dependence, the development of psychotic disorders and cardiovascular disease. The paper argues that these downsides to the use of medical marijuana cannot be ignored, and they must be addressed before there is any hope that the acceptance of its use will be nationwide.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Marijuana comes from the Indian hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. The leaves and flowers are typically dried and crushed, for use in pipes or rolled into cigarettes for smoking. It can also be added to foods and beverages, for consumption. The active ingredient in Marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is present in all parts of the marijuana plant and in both males and females. However, THC "is most concentrated in the resin (cannabin) in the flowering tops of the female" ("Marijuana"). The effects of marijuana on the user vary considerably."

Abstract
Stress is sometimes associated with the perception of having too much to do and too little time. This paper examines the cause and effect of stress in students as a result of the pressure to get good grades. It discusses the psychological and physiological symptoms such as headaches, stomach pains, back pains and dizziness and evaluates the ways students can learn to cope better with their workloads such as tutoring, study groups etc. The paper also discusses the positive side of stress, how it can motivate and help achieve more.

From the Paper
"The pressure to get good grades is sometimes caused by parents who want their students to go to a good college or get a scholarship. Sometimes parents needlessly turn their children into "super kids" who believe that they must do everything right. In order to meet their parents' expectations, students are liable to cheat on class assignments or take drugs to help them cope with the stress. Sometimes students become depressed or rebel from the pressure to get good grades."

Abstract
This paper details Hitchcock's unique talent for drawing the audience into his characters' thoughts, actions and emotions. This paper focuses primarily on three of the director's films, "Rear Window," "Notorious" and "Vertigo." The writer of this paper delves into Hitchcock's use of the subjective approach which when done correctly lets the viewing audience see into the minds of the characters on the screen. The writer contends and explains how Hitchcock's subjective storytelling and proper camera angles allow the viewer to see the point of view of the characters. This paper analyzes the director's use of subjective cinema which presents an idea in the mind of the character without the need for dialogue while at the same time using a point-of-view shot camera sequence resulting in a build-up of suspense. This paper contends that Hitchcock's use of the subjective approach is a powerful method of filmmaking, even more so than the actual acting. This paper details how the subjective approach along with specific camera angles in "Vertigo" allow the viewers to identify with the protagonist Scottie while the cinematography gives the audience a true sense of the dizziness and fear of falling felt by the character.

From the Paper
"The poison scene with its sequences of Alicia knowing what is happening is another example of the subjective techniques used by Hitchcock. As noted above, the audience has information that even the protagonist does not have. At the start of the scene, the audience knows that Alicia is being poisoned by Sebastian and his mother, because they know she is working for the Americans. The scene also shows the different type of actual camera shots: The establishing shot opens the sequence, frequently an exterior and sets the scene. The long shot (LS), which shows all or most of a fairly large subject (for example, a person) and usually much of the surroundings and extreme long shot where the camera is at its furthest distance from the subject, emphasizing the background."

Abstract
This paper looks at multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease of the central nervous system in which the myelin, which normally insulates nerve fibers and helps conduction of impulses, is damaged in random areas. It examines the different symptoms of MS which include feelings of weakness, clumsiness or exhaustion at the beginning followed by double vision, weakness of the arms and legs, muscle stiffness, dizziness, loss of bladder control, depression and memory loss. It evaluates the current myths and misconceptions about the disease such that it is fatal and everyone with MS ends up in a wheelchair. It describes the current courses of treatment and how the MS patient must learn to accept the changes in their life brought about by the disease, such as changes in work capabilities and changes in lifestyle.

From the Paper
"As the disease progresses, symptoms may become more severe and may leave lasting disabilities between actual episodes, so the MS patient will have to make adjustments to their life as the disease develops. This may mean changing jobs or working hours, making adjustments in the workplace and home to cater to a wheelchair or other assistive devices, changes in lifestyle such as taking a nap frequently when the patient gets tired easily, limiting travel and having help in the home. The MS patient has to make many adjustments to cope with the changes in their capabilities brought about by MS, but they can still lead full, rewarding lives, and still work. If they are one of the lucky ones who have long periods of remission between episodes, they may be able to function normally for long periods of time, and just learn to make the necessary adjustments during episodes of MS flare-up."

Abstract
This paper discusses Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), a representation of several medical and psychological complaints, which affect several men and women who had participated in the Gulf War which took place in 1991. It examines how these ailments include muscular pain, skin rash, sleep disturbances, peripheral numbness, memory loss, fatigue, respiratory illness, headaches, fever, spasms, low blood pressure and dizziness. It also analyzes how depleted uranium could be considered partly as a factor responsible for the Gulf War Syndrome since depleted uranium has produced long-term health problems in people who had contact with its usage. It was in the Gulf War that the depleted uranium weapons were used for the first time.

From the Paper
"According to the study conducted in this area it has been found that individuals could inhale the small particles of burning Depleted Uranium and this is quite dangerous and poisonous. There could be a breakdown in the immune system as a result of having long-term contacts with the depleted uranium. There could also be other hazards to health in the form of infectious diseases. They could have serious effects and such cases have been steadily increasing. The infections are in the nature of Zoster infections and Herpes infections. There could also be found the symptoms of AIDS as a result of the breakdown in the immune system. There have been difficulties in the functioning of kidney and liver in many as a result of being affected by depleted uranium weapons."

Abstract
This paper discusses the structured encounters with the discursive nature of experience in James Joyce's short stories, "Araby" and "An Encounter". The paper examines the similarities and the differences in these two stories, both in the storyline and in the experiences of the protagonist. The paper explains that, despite the wildness these short stories chronicle, both are highly structured. Even though both stories are intensely sensual and put the protagonist through a dizzying array of experiences, both stories begin with order, proceed into different forms of disorder in play and fair-like environments, and finally culminate into a final, resolving order that leaves the adolescent protagonists wiser than they were before.

From the Paper
"These life-changing events take the form of seeing individuals, either new types of people, or everyday people in "new lights" In "An Encounter", the protagonist experiences an encounter with an individual the protagonist would not otherwise know within the daily circle and modalities of that person's life. "Araby" is a fair--and a fair is a carnival of different sights, experiences, smells, and various encounters, the last of which is a pure woman seen in disreputable circumstances. While at "Araby", the young boy sees a woman he has idealized, and is shocked to see her in a more common and base fashion than he envisioned. Thus, "Araby" indicates how moments essentially out of time and routine can be life-transforming, through seasonal, temporal events like a fair. Fairs are discursive spaces, in that one can wander through them. Likewise, the aimless playing in the street of "encountering" someone becomes an education in character, rather than a purposeless, aimless wandering through stimulating yet disconnected experiences and meetings."

Abstract
This paper examines how East and West Germany were two very different places for people coming from the same ethnic background. The Cold War created two different societies. It explains how, when Gorbachev came along, he attempted to reform the USSR and provide "New Thinking" that would give the crumbling regime a new lease on life. The policies were very slow to take hold, but when they did, events moved at a dizzying pace. It discusses how Perestroika and Glasnost effectively gave the East German people the ability to rise up against their Communist leaders and end the Cold War.

From the Paper
"When Gorbachev took control of the Soviet Union on March 11, 1985, he inherited an institution filled with corruption and cynicism. The Soviet Union's industrial equipment and transportation was obsolete and the rate of economic growth had declined. For a global super power, the living conditions were deplorable. Employees were often drunk or neglected to show up for work, which resulted in low productivity, and lower quality consumer goods. Consumer goods were as well, in very short supply. With the Soviets computer technology lacking in comparison to that of the Americans, it seemed as though the USSR was loosing its grip as a global superpower."
