Abstract
This paper addresses British educational policy in Kenya that saw Africans as in need of only limited education. The paper looks at postcolonial theory studies asserting that post-1963 shortcomings in Kenyan female education are a remnant of British ecuational patterns in the country. This paper explores this aspect of Kenyan education along with the country's failure to institute compulsory or free primary education till 2003.

From the Paper
"Colonial education in British East Africa has cast a long shadow in post-colonial Kenya, towards ongoing issues of raising girls' education. In 2006, Kenya's population of 30 million or so remains uneven, in perhaps 20 % in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru and Kisumu, the north and northeast of the country very arid and under-populated, with most Kenyans in the cooler Central Highlands. English remains the official language, taught in schools of different kinds, with Swahili as the national language, spoken by many East Africans who also know tribal dialects."

Abstract
This paper looks at what should be considered the ultimate cause of the American Revolution. The paper first points out that the physical and political presence of England's colonial rule was limited from the beginning and this led to the substantial tax and trade burden upon the American colonies, which, in turn, fueled the revolutionary cause. The paper also explains that the failure of the crown to recognize the independent development of the colonies and alter the laws to meet the changing needs of the colonial interest and independence was the ultimate source of the revolutionary cause. The paper believes that had England responded to the American tumult with swift and decisive changes to policy, history may have been written by a different victor.

From the Paper
"There are many reasons sited by countless historians and even the primary sources of the American War for Independence, that presume to encompass the causes of America's relatively early insurrection from the colonial rule of England. Among those are political, philosophical and even economically practical reasons. Many of these independent causal reasons are likely to ring true as partial factors associated with the phenomena known as the American Revolution, yet in reality the most encompassing reasons given include the lack of English policies and enforcement to keep the colonists in check. As years passed Americans who were fundamentally loyal to the crown still developed an unflagging sense of autonomy from it which eventually culminated into a revolution. The physical and political presence of the Crown was limited from the beginning, and as generations passed and more and more "loyal" subjects were born without ties to anywhere but America and fewer and fewer first generation sources of English representation were sent to America, the loyalty took on a life of its own. England did not respond effectively to the fundamental divergence of ideals that were present between colonists in the Americas and the ideals of the Crown for the colonial purpose."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the article "Biochemical Hypoglycemia in Female Nurses During Clinical Shift Work" to determine the efficacy and use of proper and best-fit research protocol. The paper evaluates the authors' use of a proper and identifiable research question, the presentation of a testable null hypothesis and the identification of the necessary independent and dependent variables. The paper also examines the statistical data analysis procedures and the usefulness of the research results. The paper demonstrates how the results of this article, although of topic importance, fail miserably in adhering to the protocol set forth for best-fit epidemiological research.

"Research, albeit philosophical, historical, descriptive, or experimental, is not simply a collection of random thoughts or numeric data reduced to paper (Van Dalen, 1966). Research of any type is a scientific endeavor that is defined, organized, and subjected to critical scrutiny and, above all, requires a scientific approach (Senter, 1969). Far more exacting is that research investigations must follow best fit research guidelines if the content is to be applicable to the phenomenon being investigated. Such an exacting process applies not only to quantitative research but qualitative research as well (Ohlson, 1998). The scientific approach to research is a special systematic form of controlled reflective thinking and inquiry. Of all types of research defined, that of the experimental investigation is the most well defined, constructed, and controlled as it is that upon which the prediction of future occurrences are dependent."

Abstract
This paper explains that the American failures in Cuba and Vietnam in the 1960s were due in large part to the fear, arrogance and ignorance of Cold War containment policies that developed in the aftermath of World War II. The author believes that the problem was the assumption that all political and economic reform movements in Third World nations were not indigenous but were inspired instead by the evil Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. The author states that once this Cold War policy was in effect, no leader of the U.S. had the courage, wisdom or political independence to try to alter fully that policy.

From the Paper
"Kennedy certainly entered office under the pall of the same Cold War ideology and its containment policy, as evidenced by his "missile gap" rhetoric, his increase of advisors in Vietnam, and the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. It will never be known whether he would have averted a war in Vietnam, but his test-ban treaty with the Soviets, his denunciation of the CIA after the Bay of Pigs disaster, and his plan to withdraw some troops from Vietnam indicate at least a willingness to consider more flexibility in that policy."

Abstract
From their independence, the Latin American countries of Colombia, Argentina, and Venezuela inherited a number of economic challenges from the colonial era. Three of these economic challenges are the development of extreme income equality rooted in a rural economy, a feudal culture that discouraged open capitalistic entrepreneurialism in favor of oligarchy, and the inability of the federal government to mount the fiscal interventions necessary to save their states from intermittent economic crises. Each of these challenges has contributed to political problems in the countries cited, namely low-level civil war and the failure of the states to fulfill their social contract with the mass of people. This essay will link the economic problems of Colombia in particular to these political outcomes, and will also incorporate relevant examples from Venezuela and Argentina to demonstrate how the political fate of Latin America remains linked to the economic legacy of the Spanish conquest.

Abstract
This paper explains that the life and service of British counter-independence General, Lord Charles of Cornwallis demonstrates that the core competencies offered by today's army are timeless and universal. As the various prodigious tasks of the British effort met with failure or disappointment, the author points out that Cornwallis' ambition, influence and creativity were crucial forces in retaining his army's struggling effort. The paper concludes that regrouping, retooling and leading in the face of insurmountable odds are qualities essential to effective leadership, particularly in the military context where setbacks and adversity are an everyday part of today's military.

From the Paper
"With a specific attention paid to the leaders who alternatively served to benefit or obstruct the British efforts at preventing American independence, Buchanan relays the events transpiring by sea and land in the Carolinas. Here, under the mutual but ultimately deeply conflictive relationship between Generals Cornwallis and his immediate superior officer in Commander in Chief, Sir Henry Clinton, the British army would engage one of its most tenacious and decisive attempts at swaying American fortunes."

Abstract
This paper examines research in the field of personality, perception, and attribution in organizational behavior, and makes a case study of the non-profit organization Independence Residences Incorporated to demonstrate how its successes and failures can frequently be attributed to the personalities of the people within the organization. The author explains that the upper level of management consists of individuals with very positive personality traits, while the lower tiers of authority have a lack of admirable traits which can be associated with many of the company's problems. The author discusses the profound impact that personality tests and other similar tests have already had on the hiring process of many organizations and suggests that these may be the cornerstone of the hiring process in the future. Developing optimal personality profiles can lead to less turnover, higher productivity, and greater job satisfaction.

"The perception of a company such as I.R.I. is that it is a wonderful organization full of good people and there would be few who would argue otherwise. It was not very long ago that people with disabilities were locked up in insane asylums and cruelly treated to barbaric forms of "rehabilitation" thankfully in recent years we have learned to evolve our understanding and care of those with disabilities. I.R.I was established in 1984 and has done wonderful things for people who may otherwise be living in the streets. As mentioned before the executive director Raymond DeNatalie was nominated for a humanitarian of the year award. When awards such as this comes to mind names like former President Jimmy Carter, founder of Habitat for Humanity, comes to mind as well. Raymond's personality type speaks a lot for the personality of the company as a whole, especially with him at the executive level."

Abstract
The paper discusses the American revolution when the American states won their battles with Britain during the 170's. The paper speaks of the French involvement and their superiority to the British army. The paper also discusses the "Article of the Federation" and the failures of the document. The paper continues with the parts played by the "Federal" and and the "Constitutional Convention" which became the basis of the "Founding Fathers Groups", the forerunner of the United States of America.

From the Paper
"The first Treaty of Paris was in 1763. This was at the end of the Seven Years War and would see French power diminished greatly. The treaty transferred New France to the British Empire. When France later entered the Revolutionary War on the side of the rebels, some thought this was a matter of revenge for losing Canada to the British. The French helped the Americans win the war, but the cost was high and damaging to the French treasury. The second Treaty of Paris ended the American Revolutionary War in 1783. The treaty was also largely about territory and about dividing up North American that was then under the control of the Americans, the British, and the French. The dividing line in the north separated Canada from the United States and left Quebec to the French. The region of Nova Scotia was not so clearly defined and would not be for some time, after more tension between France and Britain. The change effected in the New World would have a major effect on France thereafter and would lead directly to the French Revolution in 1789."

Abstract
This paper explains that arguments in favor of Norway's full integration into the E.U. arose in 1972, 1994 and 2005; however, each time these initiatives failed. The author points out that the Norwegian lingering sense of isolationism, the craving to remain independent and autonomous in its political rule and decision-making process and perhaps even Norway's historical recollection of 400 years of foreign domination has prevented it from voting to seek full member into the European Union. The paper hypothesizes that, although it is impossible to predict the mood of the Norwegian voters, the author states with certainty that the world, not just Europe, appears to be moving towards a united world community with the E.U. playing a significant role.

"The Norwegians have a strong history of protectionism when it comes to their fishing industry and waters. Throughout different periods in its history, Norway and Russia have had to resolve differences and develop relationships that would facilitate the use of Norwegian waters and territories in the most northern part of that country that had historically been shared between the two countries. While the issues were, by 1991, seemingly resolved in an amicable and workable solution satisfying both countries, it serves to demonstrate Norway's tenacious protectionism of its coast and ..."
