Abstract
This paper presents a biographical history of Ana Mendieta, who was born in Havana, Cuba in 1948. The paper describes how Mendieta came to the United States as part of Operation Peter Pan. The paper contends that Mendieta has been considered a performance artist, a land/earth artist, and even a body artist. The paper describes her Silueta series. In creating the Silueta series, she is performing using the land and her body. Unlike the other land artists of her time, she did not aggressively shape or change the land; she just simply united with what was there.
From the Paper
"Freud has said that there are two sensations of home, one that signifies home but more over belonging, familiarity, intimacy and an overall sense of comfort. The other is of privacy or of something that is kept from sight. Mendeita?s removal from her country had a colossal impact on her work as an artist. She had a deep sense of loss for her home and her culture and this is shown clearly in the Silueta (silhouette) series. In order to maintain a sense of home in the cornfields of the Midwest, Ana immersed herself in her native culture to make an identity for herself, to keep a sense of home and to regain what she lost."

Abstract
This paper explains that the American Nurses Association (ANA) advances the nursing profession by fostering high standards of nursing practice, promoting the economic and general welfare of nurses in the workplace, projecting a positive and realistic view of nursing and lobbying the Congress and regulatory agencies on health care issues affecting nurses and the public. The author stresses that ANA, as part of various nursing umbrella organizations, promotes a unified advocacy to any cause-oriented or socially relevant issues affecting the society and health care profession. The paper relates that a regular membership in the American Nurses Association requires a baccalaureate degree, Registered Nurse (RN) certification and a license to practice the nursing profession the United States; however, additional categories of membership are available for foreign, unemployed, student, disabled and elderly nurses.
Table of Contents:

Why this Organization Interests You?
From the Paper
"A major drawback of the ANA is the membership dues - at $ 255.00 for the Full Membership Dues, some nurse practitioners, especially those in economically depressed areas of the United States, will find the amount steep! Although it is a prestigious organization to be part of, this stature costs a bundle. The ANA have Reduced and Special Dues though but these are for student, unemployed and retired nurses. Another possible disadvantage of joining the ANA is the political agenda they endorse; a particular member or a group of members may not believe or may be against some of the association's political agenda."

It analyzes the policy conflicts and the underlying events from the perspectives offered by different interpretations of them by traditional, realist, revisionist and neo-revisionist schools of thought.
Outline
Wartime Decisions of the Big Three on Germany
First Serious Disagreements (1945-1946)
Intensification of the Struggle (1947-1948)
Contributions of Revisionists and Neo-Revisionists
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Right after the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR assured British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that the United States gave first priority to defeating Germany (Powaski 50). By vetoing British plans for invasion through the Balkans, in favor of a cross-channel attack which could not be mounted until 1944, FDR effectively ensured, said Solsten, that the Red Army would occupy East Germany (76). At the same time, FDR was unwilling to discuss post-war plans until 1943 in part because of the traditional American aversion to spheres of influence and his belief that the Four Policemen (America, Britain, Russia and possibly China) could maintain world order under a system of collective security within the framework of a United Nations, a carryover of Wilsonian idealism. FDR placed great faith in his ability to win Stalin's trust and to obtain Soviet postwar cooperation."

Abstract
Daphne Marlatt's novel, "Ana Historic", is unique in that it refuses to follow the typical novel form, a structured style of writing familiar to us all; it is after all the style we have learnt as children. However our inherited writing structure has been decided by our forefathers, men who established the English language and its writing style and in this way shaped how our thoughts and ideas must be arranged. This paper looks at how Marlatt rejects this idea of the conventional, masculine English language and along with it the boundaries that arrange and reign in our thoughts.

Abstract
This paper is an examination and analysis of the facts presented by both the American and Canadian investigators regarding the crash of the Arrow Airs DC-8 in December 1985. The paper begins with a recap of the crash and the possible causes that were put forth by both countries which have held to their position that it was caused by ice on the wings of the plane. The author presents evidence that this crash was caused by an explosive device, planted by terrorists and goes into great detail as to the why this theory has been so carefully guarded by both governments. This paper raises several issues about the circumstances surrounding the crash including speculation that this was a deliberate act of terrorism and presents different reports about the events leading up to the plane's departure from Egypt. It also discusses the findings of aeronautical engineers who investigated the findings at the crash site and presents testimony from the government hearings held in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"The 101st division was one of four divisions that made up the Multinational Force and Observers. The purpose of MFO was to operate checkpoints and conduct reconnaissance patrols along the international boundary lines. Every six months the troops were rotated. This was a massive undertaking and involved the cooperation of the Egyptians to insure that the utmost security precautions were taken (Sandford pg). However, from the moment the troops from the 101st were to depart from the Sinai, a sequence of events occurred that were far from normal procedure. Ras Nasrani airport had always been used as the airport of departure for the troops. But at the last minute Army officials were notified that Ras Nastrani airport could not accommodate large planes due to construction being conducted on the main runway. Therefore, the troops were flown by Egypt Air Boeing 737s to the Cairo International Airport."

From the Paper
"It would seem that 1948 would be a year of peace, and that the world would be at peace after the horrors of World War II, but that is not the case. The State of Israel became reality in May 1948, and the day after it was created, the neighboring Arab nations of Egypt, Transjordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia declared war on the fledgling nation. First created as Palestine by a British Mandate, Israel declared her independence from Britain on May 15, 1948. Fighting was already routine in the area, and Israel's announcement just prompted more fighting. The outcome of this first Arab-Israeli War was a disaster for the Arabs, who lost even more territory to Israel, who drew their own boundaries at the end of the war, and gained 50 percent more area than the United Nations treaty had allowed them (when the country was initially created). Tensions in the area have never let up, and there is still fighting and animosity between the Arab nations in the area and Israel. Territories are still disputed, and terrorism continues almost daily in both Israel, Palestine, and beyond (Wikipedia, 2004)."

"Effects of War on British Society 1899-1948
This research paper traces the impact of the three major wars of the 20th century on the British political and social order, the Boer War (1899-1902), the First World War (1914-1918) and the Second World War (1939-1945). The impact of these wars, especially the two world wars, on British society while great was highly variable, causing want, privation and suffering to some segments of society and producing political, economic and social gains, some transitory and others more permanent, for others. Their one common thread was enhancement of the unity of the nation and the power of the state, which proved to be a mixed blessing in some of its long run manifestations.
Effects of the Boer War

"Problem of Germany (1945-1948)
This research paper discusses the policy conflicts which arose between the United States and other Western powers and the Soviet Union over the problem of Germany during the years 1945 through 1948. Those policy conflicts and the underlying events are analyzed from the perspectives offered by different interpretations of them by traditional, realist, revisionist and neo-revisionist schools of thought.
The wartime Western-Soviet alliance effectively dealt with the common Nazi German military threat. However, by the end of World War II, the victors had agreed on little more than to occupy, de-nazify and jointly administer their defeated and devastated German former enemy. The traditional approaches of the United States and the Soviet Union to foreign policy largely..."
