Abstract
This paper discusses the history of Heinrich events, and current theories of their origin. Additionally, this paper outlines the scientific method for discovering more information of Heinrich events, and their relationship to the Bond Cycle, Milankovitch Cycles, and Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) oscillations. Finally, it looks at the possible effects on global climate as the result of Heinrich events, using the Younger Dryas as the basis for discussion.
From the Paper
"Heinrich events were first discovered by Hartmut Heinrich of the German Hydrographic Institute of Hamburg, Germany in 1988. Heinrich extracted samples from northeastern Atlantic sediment cores, and analyzed the samples. He discovered that the number of lithic, or rock sediment, and planktonic foraminifera (zooplankton) shell formations fluctuated greatly in many of the core samples. Additionally, Heinrich noted that the components of the sediments seemed not to fluctuate gradually, but seemingly abruptly (Hackett, 1994)."

Abstract
This paper relates the major events of the life of the German Jewish writer Heinrich Heine, who was unable to escape persecution as a Jew by converting to Christianity. The writer explores how his poem "The Loreley" can be interpreted both as reflecting his hope for a new national identity in Germany that would include an integration of traditional German and Jewish culture, and as a message to the Jews to take pride in and stick with their own culture.
From the Paper
"Heinrich Heine's life story demonstrates the hardships faced by those born Jewish in nineteenth century Germany. Heine was born to Jewish parents in 1797. He studied law and eventually wanted to have a career teaching at a university. Unfortunately for Heine, university professorship was a career option not available to Jews at the time. Rather than dismiss his vocational aspirations, Heine converted to Protestantism. As Heinrich soon discovered, conversion did not solve any of the underlying problems. A converted Jew, Heinrich was shunned by Christians for his Jewish background and by Jews for denouncing his faith. The road to Jewish emancipation had forked, with both directions leading to dead ends."

Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of pseudo-events, providing examples and analyzing the advantages, disadvantages, and impact on our culture. The paper explains the shift in news coverage and gives examples of pseudo-events.
From the Paper
"It is a feature of the modern age that what used to be looked on as news has become something much less natural and true and much more made up. Whereas newsmen in the early days were more determined to present the news in a neutral way, newsmen today are more like honorary members of Hollywood focusing on PR, supporting personal agendas and making politically slanted statements, rather than delivering pure news. A trend typical of this shift is the pseudo-event-an event that has been staged..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes Heinrich's pyramid theory and identifies the major principles good and bad in relation to aviation safety. The writer relates in this study that there have been wide variations in the application of Heinrich's pyramid theory as related to aviation safety in both historical and traditional terms. There have however, been various modifications and expansions to this theory as also noted during the course of this study. The writer maintains that the very solid base upon which Heinrich constructed this theoretical framework serves to support its use in the long-term as well as it serves as the skeletal framework for many various and diverse modifications and expansion of the pyramid theory as proposed in 1932 by Heinrich.

"Historically, automation of processes has been focused upon by the aviation in terms of diligence in safety. Therefore, this use of the numbers in calculation of the three levels in Heinrich's pyramid theory, automation is easy analyzed because it is analyzed in terms of numbers and a process of data collection and analysis. Therefore, ensuring the high safety performance of safety means measure of the automated tasks and yet additionally has a human factor within the analysis and that of human effect upon the processes affecting automation.

Abstract
This paper examines the life of German Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi SS leader. It discusses his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. It describes him as a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. The paper demonstrates how Heinrich Himmler was a blind and devoted follower of Hitler, and was the most terrifying type of military leader, because he had no conscience.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi leader of the SS. Specifically, it will discuss his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was an unsuccessful chicken farmer and fertilizer salesman who became a leader in the Nazi party in the mid-1920s. As head of the SS as well as the Gestapo, he was a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. He was the organizer of the mass murder of Jews, the man in charge of the concentration and death camps."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, whose compassion and genuine caring for his students not only lead to the development of his basic education style, but also made him an endearing figure in the field of pedagogy.
From the Paper
"Much of his pedagogical theory, which he successfully implemented into his education practices, was outlined in his 1801 book How Gertrude Teaches Her Children. In this work he outlined how he wished to establish a method of instruction that was based on the psychological development of the child and emphasized the natural progression of human development. Spontaneity was key and learning was facilitated by the natural curiosity and propensity for exploration that children display (Mayer 214). Pestalozzi asserts that children should be allowed to arrive at answers on their own through hands-on exploration and an encouragement that allows their own powers of reasoning, judgment and observation to blossom instead of being given ready-made answers. The aim is ultimately very holistic. Pestalozzi's goal was to achieve a balance between the education of the head, the heart and the hands. "

Abstract
This paper describes the type of person Heinrich Himmler was and discusses how he managed to rule the Gestapo with such an iron fist. It looks at his attitude towards Jews and his creation and implementation of the Final Solution.
From the Paper
"In 1925, Himmler joined the newly-formed SS ("Schutzstaffel"), a group of elite German officers assigned as Adolph Hitler's personal protection squad (the "Leibstandarte SS Adolph Hitler"). Not long after, Himmler became the leader of the dreaded SS and then decided to ensure the absolute autonomy of this organization by decreeing that all members of the SS were in a class of their very own and that those that committed a misdemeanor were above normal justice and could be tried only by an SS court which in effect meant that German law no longer applied to them."

Abstract
This paper briefly sums up 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' as a play that chronicles the tale of one passionate, if self centered, Prince who defies orders in battle and is sentenced to death even though his action led to a decisive victory. According to this paper, this is one of Heinrich von Kleist's later works, and shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' has often been considered an early example of German nationalism.
From the Paper
"This play is one of a few latter works in the relatively short life of Heinrich von Kleist's career as a dramatist. He committed suicide at the age of thirty-four. As one of his later works, this play shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, Prince Friedrich of Homburg has often been considered an early example of German nationalism. While rudimentary in that regard, this play nonetheless exhibits many examples of nationalist ideology. Kleist considered this play to be a work of patriotic drama."
