Abstract
This paper is a biographical description of the work of Georg Cantor and his work in the development of set theory. In his time, these hypotheses were considered greatly controversial by other mathematicians. However, now they are an integral part of the study of mathematics.

From the Paper
"Georg attended several private schools in Frankfurt, and in 1859, entered the distinguished Grossherzoglich Hessiche Provinzialrealschule in Darmstadt. He left this institution in 1860 with high recommendations in mathematics. His father discouraged the study of math due to the fact that he wished him to become an engineer, a job that paid considerably more than mathematics. He originally attended Grossherzogliche Hoehere Gewerbeschule (Grand-Ducal Higher Polytechnic, later changed to Technische Hochschule) at Darmstadt following his father's wishes and studying Engineering. Later, when Georg convinced his father that his heart was truly in math, his father relented and he began the study of Mathematics in 1862 (Johnson, 1997). "

Abstract
This paper argues that Pablo Picasso deserves recognition as a twentieth-century genius. Specifically, the paper looks at the great artist's work and notes both its virtuosity and how it influenced later generations of talented painters. No less significantly, the paper considers the question of whether or not Picasso will still have an impact upon our culture as we proceed into the new millennium. In the final analysis, the paper contends that Picasso's artistic and technical excellence in combination with his intuitiveness as an artist has given him an imperishable place in western culture.

From the Paper
"There have been, as one would expect, many brilliant individuals who gave invaluably to the twentieth century. However, out of all these brilliant and capable men and women only a few deserve the appellation "genius" and even fewer can be said to have successfully straddled the age of modernism and the age of pluralism. One of these geniuses, and perhaps the most profound and inscrutable, was Pablo Picasso."

Abstract
The paper discusses how to some extent, roles determine what men and women do but roles are currently changing. The paper relates that use of time is gendered and it has not changed from years ago; in the past few decades, time pressures increased for women but they did not for men. The paper describes how time use has changed to some extent when men and women are equal partners in the home where there is joint activity engagement and household tasks are divided equally (Ettema & Schwanen, 2007). The paper notes that for women, having free time does not reduce time pressures but men feel more pressed for time when they have free time.

From the Paper
"To some extent, roles determine what men and women do but roles are currently changing. Use of time is gendered and it has not changed from years ago. There is a major difference in how men and women experience time. In the past few decades, time pressures increased for women but they did not for men. Actual time constraints are also different for each gender. Time use has changed to some extent when men and women are equal partners in the home where there is joint activity engagement and household tasks are divided equally (Ettema & Schwanen, 2007). For women, having free time does not reduce time pressures but men feel more..."

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses procrastination and time management and the behavioral dos and don'ts that should be observed if one wishes to develop efficacious time management capabilities. The paper begins by outlining why time management is important, proceeds from there to look at why professional skills are critical for developing good time management abilities (and why time management can be conceived of as a time management skill itself), and concludes by enumerating some critical dos and don'ts that too many people (especially young people) overlook at their peril.

From the Paper
"In the final analysis, the key to strong time management skills is simply this: a regular routine, breaking difficult work into smaller (manageable) segments, setting daily goals, and reminding oneself of the rewards that come with doing things sooner rather than later."

Abstract
This paper discusses the need for time management for academic success, while attending school. The paper describes a significant amount of new responsibilities that engulf the academic world and that can at times be difficult to manage because of constraints on time. It focuses on classes, studies, groups, employment, and family which each require attention from the student and that cannot be overlooked or set aside for another time.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses J.G. Ballard's short story "The Voices of Time". The writer focuses on the themes of surrealism and inner space that commingle in this work. The writer notes that the setting Ballard selects for "The Voices of Time" intensifies the surrealist atmosphere of the story, revealing the supernatural in the natural. In addition, the writer maintains that this setting shows how the core themes of the story of evolution and time become manifest most poignantly in the human mind. Further, the writer discusses that the surrealistic imagery throughout "The Voices of Time" is nothing but the human mind grappling with its own mortality and relative insignificance in relation to the grandeur of the universe at large.

From the Paper
"Ballard describes Powers' death with precision, blending surrealism with inner space and encapsulating the mood of the entire short story. Death and mortality are keys to understanding Powers' mind, because although he is surrounded by oddities and distortions of form and reality, Powers is fundamentally human. Acutely aware of his impending death, Powers spends his last moments engaged in a sublime meditation. Although he has witnessed some of the most grotesque abnormalities possible, although he has transformed human consciousness to the point of eradicating sleep from Kaldren's life, Powers retains a sense of wonder for the world. Seen through his eyes, the world comes alive with fantastic and surreal impact."

Abstract
This essay reviews the numerous ways that time, space, and change have affected the human existence. In discussing technology, this paper examines the ways in which communication technology, business technology, and technological changes in travel have changed/impacted the importance of time and space on humans. Through these technologies, time is increasingly becoming an irrelevant factor in human existence.

From the Paper
"German philosopher Martin Heiddeger was primarily instrumental for his concern with what it means to exist: to be. In essence, Heiddeger's concern primarily related to the fact that humans come into the world and interact with it, as they have not made any contributions to the things that exist in nature or society, but use these things/objects. In addition, he states these objects "come to humanity from the past and are used in the present for the sake of future goals"."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the concept of "time series forecasting." It discusses its importance in the business world and how it can be of major benefit in problem solving and future projection needs. Working technical examples are provided.

From the paper:

"There is an endless list of areas in which collection, analysis and prediction of data is important. The world of business relies on the accurate calculation of sales figures, stock prices and interest rates, and meteorologists depend on precise measurements of expected rainfall, temperature changes and wind speeds. Disciplines as varied as farming, politics and medicine base every major decision on the results of the accumulation and analysis of data. Some of this information is collected on a one-off basis, especially when required to provide the solution to a specific problem, but in the majority of cases the collection of data is ongoing and reported at regular time intervals. These intervals may range from milliseconds to decades and the sequence of measurements made during these periods is known as a time series"

Abstract
This paper examines the use of the Just-in-time manufacturing method. It describes the key strategy behind just-in-time manufacturing: less inventory means more cash, which is good for most businesses, and demonstrates the application of this principal. The author writes that with Just-in-time manufacturing, stock is wasteful and eliminated, but there are also negative effects on the environment involved in this alternative process.

From the Paper
"Just-in-time manufacturing is a method of manufacturing goods that was developed by Toyota in the 1980's. Since that time, many companies around the world have begun to successfully implement just-in-time processes, including several companies in the United States. (Maskell, 1989)

"Just-in-time manufacturing is a method of manufacturing in which non-value-adding activities (or are identified and removed for the purposes of reducing costs, improving quality, improving performance, improving delivery, adding flexibility and increasing innovativeness."

Abstract
This paper compares the different essays dealing with the issue of time. It explains that Borges's essay provides a beautiful backdrop from which to discuss the literary use of a nonlinear time construct. The bending of time in "The Garden of Forking Paths," by Jorge Luis Borges, and "Confession," by Algernon Blackwood, provides an interesting way for the authors to invite the reader into a twisted world of endless possibilities.

From the Paper
"Many people think of time as a linear construct: yesterday, today, tomorrow, but what if it was possible to warp that construct? It would be nothingness, like a clock without hands, leaving open a wide range of possibilities: traveling back and forth, seeing past present, and future converge into a single moment, or just being a thing of fiction created by the minds of people. Time, then, would be like a maze; the past, present, and future would come together as one, creating an almost endless array of possibilities for outcomes of events and interactions. This idea of nonlinear time is captured in the essay "A New Refutation of Time," by Jorge Luis Borges and the stories "The Garden of Forking Paths," by Jorge Luis Borges, and "Confession," by Algernon Blackwood."
