Abstract This paper reviews the responsibilities, salaries, requirements and skills involved in being a bylaw officer. It also briefly reviews the mandate, size and culture of the Hamilton Police Force. Finally, the paper concludes with a brief review of the progress the subject is making as a student preparing for a career in law enforcement.
From the Paper "Needless to say, any career in law enforcement is a challenging one. This is true whether one is a police officer, penitentiary guard or by-law officer. The following paper will briefly look at what is required of candidates and what can be expected from those who wish to become a by-law officer. Additionally, some brief mention will be made of an anticipated future employer along with a brief review of the student's own progress towards fulfilling a long-time dream. To begin with, by-law officers (just like their colleagues with the municipal fire department) are responsible, as the name indicates, for upholding municipal codes and by-laws ("Bylaw 160 - bylaw officer responsibilities" 2000, subsec.2). "
Abstract This paper explores the life and accomplishments of Alexander the Great by locating appropriate sources on the Internet. The paper first gives biographical information about Alexander as well as Internet links to where one may find more information about him. Various quotes and information from the sites are given beneath their URL. The author also critically evaluates and analyzes these Internet sites. In addition to learning about Alexander's life, the paper is also a lesson in efficient Internet searching.
From the Paper "The name Alexander the Great should tell anyone embarking on the study of a historical figure that this was someone who did important things during his time. In the study of historical figures one can choose to focus on a famous person or an infamous person with close to the same results. Lots of information exists about the historical person in question. Internet sources abound with biographical information, accomplishments, problems and other elements of that person's life. Now and again however, a historical person is so colorful that there is information that both exalts that person's life and criticizes it at the same time. This was the case with Alexander the Great. As a boy he was fearless, as a man he was powerful but according to many Internet research sites he also had a side of him that was extremely self centered and vain which prompted the actions he took. "

Abstract The author wrestles with Alexander the Greats' inclinations towards both good and evil in an attempt to show that he deserved the title: "Great". By comparing and contrasting, she is able to build a case that he was, indeed, as his name implies, 'Great'. With some interesting quotes from people that knew Alexander the Great personally.
From the Paper "Alexander the Great was a charismatic person who won the heart of the people he ruled throughout his short reign. He led them to victory against their enemies and had a generous nature. There was another side to Alexander though; he could be cruel, irrational and was known for his drunken rages. Despite his faults, Alexander's conquests, achievements and personal traits made him worthy of the title, ?the Great.? "

Abstract The paper explains why made Alexander the Great was one of the finest military commanders in history. The composition and organization of the army are analyzed and his tactics used in his four great battles.
From the Paper "Alexander the Great ascended to the throne at a time when the Macedonian empire was at a crossroads, yet within ten years of coming to power in 336BC Alexander was within striking distance of the Indus valley after destroying the greatest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. The noted military tactician and historian J.F.C Fuller says of Alexander's succession to the throne, ?When Philip was assassinated Alexander was barely twenty years of age and as yet so inexperienced and untried that it seemed to all Greece that the Macedonian empire was about to dissolve.? The description of Alexander by Arrian as "always masterly" says a lot of his capability as a general, but Alexander had inherited numerous advantages from Philip II. This essay will seek to demonstrate whether or not Alexander was a tactical genius or not, on and off the battlefield. I will now go on to discuss the advantages that Alexander had inherited from Philip II."

From the Paper "Alexander Hamilton was born a British subject on the island of Nevis (West Indies) in January 1755, to Rachel Fawcette Levine and James Hamilton. Hamilton faced hardship early in life. His father ended as a bankrupt in 1767, causing Hamilton to take a position as clerk in a counting house. His mother died a year later. As discouraging as his situation appeared to him, Hamilton proved himself adept at banking and, at age 15, assumed responsibility for the firm's daily operations. It is reasonable to conclude that this youthful experience gave Hamilton an early appreciation of the contribution that financial institutions might make to larger objectives.
Hamilton, with the financial support of family friends, settled in the New Jersey colony in 1772, in order to continue his formal education. After a brief period of grammar school classes, he entered New York's King's College (now Columbia University), being awarded the baccalaureate one year later. For reasons that remain unclear, Hamilton was caught up in revolutionary fervor in the years immediately preceding the Declaration of Independence."

Abstract This paper examines the life of AlexanderHamilton, the first secretary of the treasury who placed the U.S. on a firm financial footing. Hamilton was a decisive man of action who fought in the battles around New York in 1775 and whose zeal and organizing ability brought him to George Washington's attention which led to a commission as colonel in the Continental Army. This paper contains dates and detailed historical facts pertaining to Hamilton's political and military career.
From the Paper "Hamilton's basic plan of government consisted of two legislatures, comprised by an assembly directly elected by the people to a three year term, and a senate, chosen by electors from senatorial districts to serve based upon merit, or good behavior. In addition to the aforementioned legislative bodies, there would be a Judiciary, consisting of twelve justices who would also serve based upon merit. This judiciary would have both original and appellate jurisdictions."

Abstract This paper looks at AlexanderHamilton, whose fiery personality, keen intellect, and innovative political and financial ideas helped to shape the early government of America. The paper discusses how Hamilton not only contributed here and there, but was a founder of the Federalist Party, one of the first political groups of the young America and how both the party and Hamilton played significant roles in forming the laws and doctrines, which are the back bone of the American government.
From the Paper "It is of some interest to note that Hamilton's life did not begin in England nor did it start in the soon to be America. It began in the British Virgin Islands, more accurately on the island of Nevis located on the Leeward Islands. (Mitchell 2) His mother was Rachael Fawcett, a spirited woman whose first marriage was to a man named John Larven. She had attempted to divorce him but there is some debate on if he went through with the legal motions for it or not. (Mitchell 3-4) After the alleged divorce she married a young Scotsman by the name of James Hamilton, the father of Alexander Hamilton. There is much debate over the legitimacy of Alexander and his brother James due to the fact that their parent's marriage may not have been legal. (Mitchell 4-10) At the young age of around ten or eleven Alexander and his family moved to the island of St.Croix where he would live until the age of seventeen when he would be sent to America for education.

Abstract This paper examines the city of Hamilton, noting that the city of Hamilton is known as the Steel City, though this designation ties the city to a past that may no longer exist and may give the wrong impression of what the city represents today. The paper examines Hamilton from various points of view and a picture of the community emerges that shows that the city is not that unusual and features both positives and negatives for those living there.
From the Paper "The city of Hamilton is known as the "Steel City," though this designation ties the city to a past that may no longer exist and may give the wrong impression of what the city represents today. Hamilton, like a great many cities, relies heavily on tourism for a portion of its income and seeks to promote itself as a tourist destination through its website, various local organizations, and advertising, but tourism also does not really define the city completely. Hamilton has been examined from various points of view, and a picture of the community emerges that shows that the city is not that unusual and features both positives and negatives for those living there."
Abstract Virginia Hamilton's books suggest a far more complex approach to multicultural literature. This paper will argue that the importance of Hamilton's work is that she depicts African Americans not in terms of their collective race, but in terms of their individual humanity. This is not, of course, to say that issues of race and racism do not occur in her works.
This paper discusses the Pop Art movement; Richard Hamilton, the father of this movement; and his collage, "Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing"?.
Abstract This paper explains that Pop Art uses images of consumerism and everyday objects, often placing mundane objects in bizarre situations as a form of social commentary. The author points out that, although Andy Warhol is perhaps the best-known pop artist, Richard Hamilton, born in London during the 1920s, created the first piece of Pop Art, "Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing"?, a collage poster design for the "This Is Tomorrow" art exhibit. The paper describes the author's attempt to reinterpret this collage by using images of the latest technology of our era -- the plasma TV, the DVD player, the PlayStation ? just as Hamilton's collage shows the latest technology of his era -- the reel-to-reel, the television.
From the Paper "I experienced some particular problems in creating my collage. Hamilton's background in advertising and the arts gave him an incredible skill for cutting out the magazine photos, and although the proportions are somewhat skewed, he was able to piece the individual photos together in an almost seamless fashion, creating a completely believable new world. In my collage, the scissors lines are obvious, and there is not the artistic flow of the created environment. The models in my collage do not have the creepy Outer-Limits air about them, and the sense of discord within a stable environment that Hamilton captured simply is not there in my collage, which does not have a proper sense of chaos or stability. It is an important lesson to be learned, however, that even if presented with the same basic supplies, it is the artistic skill and merit of the artist that creates a true piece of art. Simply incorporating similar themes into a piece does not necessarily make those pieces companions or comparable. Hamilton had an incredible sense of the impact of the media and consumer-based society on the individual, and it was due to his own brilliance that his collage is impressive, not just, because he found pretty pictures in magazines."
Abstract This paper discusses how Virginia Hamilton's collection of American black folktales, "The People Could Fly" (1985), portrays the tales of both animals and humans who are faced with hardships analogous to those of black slaves. It looks at how through Hamilton's careful preservation of history, her tales are laced with the recurring theme of flight. It also discusses how the notion of flying Africans seems to symbolize the black slaves' desire for liberation and transcendence over slavery, and remains a significant phenomenon in several accounts of slaves of native African origin.
From the Paper "According to folklorist Alan Dundes, a myth is a sacred tale describing how the world and man came to exist in their modern form, and whose purpose is to "contribute to the maintenance of the norms and values of the culture out of which 'sacred narrative' emerges" (Awkward 485). Authors of African American literature frequently make reference to Afro-American legends of slaves who had the natural ability of flight, and who used it to break out of slavery in America; that is, in essence to rise above captivity. However, flight in most American black folktales operates not just as a universal or individual symbol of transcendence, but also as a cooperative symbol of resistance by a particular cultural group within a socio-historical framework (Wilentz 21). In Virginia Hamilton's The People Could Fly, flight outwardly presents a means of escape for the Africans, but on a much broader scale represents the effective opposition to slavery, a state of being that was "too immature, fixed [and] final" (Wilentz 21). "
Abstract This paper discusses how the life of Alexander the Great is one of the most well-documented lives of the time, and within all of that documentation, there is a sense that Alexander was either a tyrant or a saint-like human. It looks at how the mystery of his existence is challenged by the propriety of the ancient writings and the individual author's ideal of the hero, whom the writer wished to portray. It also examines how the value of Michael Wood's documentary film, ?In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great,? lies in the extensive manner with which Wood discusses the differences between right and wrong in Alexander's time versus our own.
From the Paper "Reading the Works of Arrian, Curtius, Diodorus, and Plutarch, regardless of the modern language interpretations still leaves the reader with his or her own impressions of right and wrong. It is therefore difficult to address the man Alexander as a whole. The author's all tell the story as historians, yet in a very different tradition of history. The historic fable, the genre of its time does two things, it retells the story as it has been retold before, either through other older epic poetry histories or through legend mixed with the narrators own idea of right and wrong for their time."
