Abstract
This paper relates that the Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD)
was founded as the Illinois Association of Conservation and Park Districts 75 years ago to establish and protection parks and to conserve wildlife. The author points out that the historic "Park Law Codification Bill", signed in 1951, combines all the various laws pertaining to the issues of park conservatism into one single section of the state law. The paper relates that, today, each of the more than 40 park districts, forests, and conservation parks in the state of Illinois has a police force to patrol, routinely enforcing laws regarding recreation, hunting, and boating, and especially the use of drugs and alcohol.

From the Paper
"The DNR or the Illinois Department of Natural Resources states that its mission is to protect and manage and to conserve the various natural resources that the state of Illinois can very proudly boast of, and to provide those recreational opportunities to interested people that would not harm or spoil these natural resources in any manner. The Educational Department of the DNR was launched in the year 1995, with the primary aim of the development of educational methods and of the training methods involved in the conservation of natural resources of Illinois. It also was to provide hands on training for those persons wanting to indulge in the various outdoor activities that Illinois offers, such as snowmobiling, boating and hunting methods."

Abstract
Saskatchewan has a population of about one million people. The province traditionally has had 32 health districts which received funding which is based on population from Saskatchewan Health. During the early 1990s, Saskatchewan decided on the development of 32 health districts. It was at that time that Saskatchewan Health undertook an information technology program to identify the information needs of the health districts. The health districts were established through legislation and were responsible for determining local health needs and then planning health services to meet those needs.

Abstract
Ocean park stands as one of Hong Kong's most popular theme parks. This essay discusses the operations of Ocean Park and its business model. It looks at the changes that have taken place in the last five years with the development of the Disney theme park. This piece was written with a business standpoint in mind to discuss such things as advantages, strategies, competition, and more.

Outline:
Introduction
The Theory
Opportunities and Threats
Contextual and Transactional Environments
Competitive Advantages / Core Competencies
Recommendation
Conclusion

From the Paper
"In recent years, Ocean Park's monopoly position has left them complacent. Given the relatively shortage (and consequently high price) of land in Hong Kong, the arrival of any competition must have at one point seemed unlikely. That the competition is in the form of the world leader in the industry means that Ocean Park is going to have to improve in almost every area of its business. More importantly, Ocean Park needs to determine what competitive advantages it has, so that it may leverage those against Disney. This paper will undertake an analysis of Ocean Park, paying special attention to how the company competes today and how it can compete in a post-Disney world.
The situation is not entirely dire for Ocean Park. The park they operate is sufficiently differentiated from that of Disney that there is probably room for both competitors in the marketplace. For Ocean Park, however, they are facing an immediate threat to their revenue streams. Action must be taken now in order to put Ocean Park in a position to compete with Disney."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the inner districts of Chicago between the years 1900-1930. The major two works concerning this subject and period were used for this article. The first was the 'JUNGLE' by Upton Sinclair. The second work was regarding the gold coast and the slums. The writer looks at a number of social conditions within the area. "

From the Paper
"Chicago like many American cities in the early twentieth century was a place of contrasts. It was a place where immigrants came to fulfill their dreams but often realized their worst nightmares. It was the place where some lived in luxury while others lived in grinding poverty. It was the place in which industrialization was driving economic growth while the environment was being degraded. Written accounts of this period in Chicago's history are relatively consistent in their depictions of life in Chicago. To prove this point two different works are examined."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the inner districts of Chicago from 1900 to 1930. In this essay, the writer looks at the work 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair and in the showdown of the skyscrapers. The focus is placed on life in the slums. The writer points out that the slums were dirty, crowded and an ideal breeding ground for disease.

From the Paper
"The inner districts of Chicago from 1900-1930 demonstrated how cities in the in early 20th century were places of great contradictions. Industrialization brought economic prosperity and work but the living and the environmental conditions were terrible. The fact, that the living conditions within Chicago's inner districts were so terrible was depicted in 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair. For example, when the family was traveling on the train to their new home in the slums Sinclair states, down every side street they could see, it was the same,-never a hill and never a hollow, but always the same endless vista of ugly and dirty little wooden buildings."
