From the Paper
" The purpose of this research is to examine the east wing of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., designed by architect I.M. Pei in the late 1970s. The plan of the research will be to set forth a description of the life and career of Pei and of the National Gallery itself, and then to discuss reasons for the new addition, how the commission to design the east wing of the structure came about, and details of the project itself, from an architectural standpoint. As well, reference will be made to the relationship between the "container," or structure, and the "contents," or works of art that it houses.
To discuss a principal work of Ieoh Ming Pei, usually referred to as I.M. Pei, it is useful to place that work in the context of life. Pei was born into a financier's family in 1917 in Canton, China, and stayed in the United States from 1935.."

The Case of Gallery Furniture, 2004.
This paper is a case study of Gallery Furniture that uses a buyer-oriented marketing approach.

Abstract
This paper explains that the objective of Gallery Furniture is to serve a wide market at the upper-low and middle market segments; the company is well served by this strategy. The author points out that, if the company were to expand geographically, it would have to use zone pricing of delivery. The paper states that, on the company's Web site, showing the photos of the showroom exactly as a low- to-middle level showroom looks, instead of having a more artful Web arrangement of selected items as might be the case in a more upscale Web presentation, supports the firm?s strategic position.

From the Paper
"Internal factors that would influence the decision would be: whether the store could obtain or get commitments for sufficient quantities of their online items (which in this case is the entire inventory) to serve a region or the nation; whether the logistics of setting up either distribution from a central warehouse or setting up regional warehouses is affordable and acceptable to the operation of the company without diminishing its service to markets it already serves; whether it could set up a service operation sufficient to handle orders nationally or even regionally; whether it had the advertising budget to promote its goods and services regionally or nationally, or whether it would be wise to seek investment to do so."

Abstract
This paper discusses the New National Gallery in Berlin, Germany, designed by architect Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1967. The writer cites this as a classical structure that represents the essence of the way in which van der Rohe treated space and the walls he used to enclose that space. The writer points out that such walls consist of glass planes enclosing the upper space, and a large basement where the collection is housed.
From the Paper
"The architect Mies van der Rohe was one of the leading architects of the twentieth century, a product of the Bauhaus movement in Germany who created buildings all over the world. One of his major structures from later in life is the New National Gallery at Berlin, Germany, a classical structure that represents the essence of the way van der Rohe treated space and the walls he used to enclose that space. He was born in Germany in 1886 and died in Chicago in 1969."

Abstract
The National Gallery Museum is home to some of the world?s most famous paintings, including "Venus and Mars" by Sandro Botticelli and "Sunflowers" by Vincent van Gogh. This paper presents a history on the museum, including the addition of the Sainsbury wing and then describes several paintings stored in the museum. It also provides an architectural description of the museum.
From the Paper
"The atmosphere of the Early Renaissance gallery is sophisticated, accessible and subdued. Lighting is a combination of artificial light and natural light that is automatically controlled and "delicately balanced" (Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates). The wing takes advantage of natural lighting as much as possible, and is designed to reduce damaging ultraviolet radiation. The color of the walls is designed to minimize distraction, and showcase the individual works (The National Gallery Museum, Building). A "gently implied hierarchy" of rooms (ranging from small to medium and large rooms) make up the galleries (Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates)."

Contemporary Art and Society, 2008.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that art institutions have undergone significant changes in the past several decades. These changes are the result of the transformations in society as well as in art. The writer maintains that one way of addressing this relationship transformation is analyzing the position of art institutions that exist within societies and countries around the world. The writer points out that art institutions, like galleries and museums, are places where not only the work of art meets the eye of a critic but also locations where the broader public interacts with it. The writer notes that the public interaction with the artistic world in the art institutions is of crucial importance. After all, whether a work of art is going to survive or not depends a great deal on its public acceptance.
From the Paper
"The art and artistic expression has elevated itself from aesthetic human activity to more intellectual and actively socially involved one. The artists view their role as a socially active one, as members of society who openly and sometimes provocatively challenge the accepted ideas and social values. They are ready to tackle the ethic and social taboos, attitudes and widely accepted believes. This inevitably is result form the fact that the contemporary art works are not created form the void. Rather, the conditions within our society shape the ideas and "products" of artistic activity. The artwork becomes as a result, a part of a dialogue that comprises the culture in our society."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Human Health Effects. Research in the US and Canada has repeatedly documented a strong correlation between high ozone levels and rates of hospitalization and worker absenteeism. Ontario studies have shown that in the months May to August, approximately five per cent of daily respiratory hospital admissions are associated with ozone. Other findings have shown hospital admissions linked to ozone occurring at levels well below the current national air quality objective of 82 ppb, with the probability and severity of health effects increasing with increasing exposure. Furthermore, it appears that there is no human health threshold for ozone, that is, there is no level that can be deemed safe. Populations more sensitive to ozone exposure include young children, the elderly, people with respiratory problems, and people active outdoors, particularly in the summer.
Impacts on human health related to high ozone levels are summarized below:
? respiratory system:
? lung functioning (coughing, shortness of breath, pain on inspiration, throat irritation, wheezing, chest tightness);
? chronic and acute bronchitis, asthma; and
? pulmonary emphysema;
? possible interference with the immune system; and
? headaches, burning eyes, irritated sinuses."

The Impact of Racial Profiling
From the Paper
"In this regard, it advances equity by providing evidence of profiling and the impact of this profiling on individuals. Consider, for example, the case noted in Henry et al (2000) where the ruling of an African Canadian lower court judge became an prominent national political and legal controversy because she had referenced in her judgement the strained relations between police and African Canadian youth (Henry et al 156-157). While the Supreme Court ultimately supported the judge's ruling, the controversy made clear that many in Canada do not see these strained relations as a problem, nor even acknowledge their existence. As such, the findings of this Inquiry advance equity by providing ample evidence - often from police officers themselves - of the negative effects of racial profiling."

Abstract
This paper discusses the difference between art and culture, especially when it appears on the Internet. It then describes how the Internet has changed the creation, dissemination and selling of art and culture. Additionally, the paper discusses the level of success that artists can achieve when trying to sell their art over the Internet and explains why there may be a difference between selling online and selling through a gallery.
From the Paper
"Selling Art on the Internet, by Marques Vickers, a California artist, describes how the artist can mount their own website (after learning website design), generate traffic to their website and cultivate media exposure. The "pay for clicks" describes how, if an artist has more visitors to their website, they pay for it to "agent companies" who generate visitors to their specific site. There are also merchant affiliate programs, self-publishing virtual and portfolio galleries. The author talks about auction sites, as well, the most popular way for an artist to get their work on the web. Directed toward the individual artist, the author believes that the Internet is the way that artwork will be distributed in the future. Though nothing is as good as seeing the actual work on display, artwork can actually be enhanced to look better than it actually does, if one knows how to manipulate the programs that help put their work out there on the web."

Abstract
This paper critically examines the process of Ontario disengaging from its previous role in the Canadian federation and re-defining itself as a North American region state, due to a consequence of a range of political, economic, and social factors. The paper discusses Ontario's origins and features, as well as its future implications. The paper then argues that the primary causal factors behind this process have been the policy rift between the Ontario provincial government and the federal government, a North-South economic realignment supplanting intra-provincial trade relations, and the phenomenon of globalization.

Ontario as a Globalized Region State
From the Paper
"In terms of Ontario as a region state, we can currently see this region-international process underway in terms of the growing region to region trade between Ontario and key economic regions of the United States. Consider, for example, Ontario's trade relationship with Michigan - the automotive production region of the United States - in which in 2005 Ontario enjoying a remarkable trade surplus exporting goods and services worth over CAN $55 billion and importing goods and services worth over CAN $25 billion. While the trade relationship with Michigan is clearly an exceptional case given the important industrial significance of the automotive industry that links Michigan and Ontario, such large scale trading relationships can be seen between Ontario and major American regions. For example, in 2005 Ontario also enjoyed a trade surplus with the state of New York, to which it exported over CAN $11 billion in goods and services, and imported over CAN $10 billion."

Abstract
This paper discusses and evaluates the various parts of the Stronger Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act of 2005, in an effort to provide some insight as to how the Toronto City Council will act if the act is passed by royal assent. The historical value of such a bill would be unprecedented in the history of the city, which has been slowly creating an autonomous government since the City of Toronto Act of 1997.
From the Paper
"The aim of this study will be to understand and evaluate the new Stronger Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act of 2005. By realizing the new powers of this charter to help pass more by-laws for Toronto's city administration, there are greater freedoms that allow the government to be more autonomous in legislation. In this manner, the overseeing Canadian government will allow Toronto the ability to access greater governmental responsibility for its ever-growing population."

Asian Art, 2002.
A discussion of Asian art and anthropology.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the link between Asian Art and anthropology through the study of a figure from the T?ang Dynasty (618-907) entitled ?Figure: Tomb-guardian creature (zhenmushou) and dates circa 700-740?S1997.25?. It looks at how the figure gives an insight into the way of life during the T?ang Dynasty (618-907). It demonstrates how the art of China?s earliest dynastic periods focused on the cult of the dead and the afterlife and how kings and their officers constructed and decorated lavish tombs which needed to be safeguarded from evil spirits. It shows how the figure in the gallery is obviously a depiction of one of these these warlike figures who stood to protect the dead.
From the Paper
"There are some ways in which this relic is not representative of the later T?ang dynasty. ?By the time China was unified under the T?ang?in the seventh century, the subject matter of art had become more cosmopolitan and worldly. Secular architecture reached unprecedented grandeur, landscape painting and portraiture flourished, and technological advances in ceramics led to the development of fine porcelain?? (Nelson 2000 p.1) This tomb guardian, while ascribed to the later T?ang dynasty, does not seem to match Dr. Nelson?s description, because this is somewhat primitive in its execution."

Art History: Carracci and Caravaggio, 2006.
A comparison and contrasting of the art of Annibale Carracci and Caravaggio.

Abstract
This art history study compares and contrasts the realism that is exhibited within the paintings of Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci. By analyzing the Farnese gallery of Carracci, this paper sees the sense of realism that is anatomically in compliance with Caravaggio's painting style. Within the scope of realism, however, Caravaggio is more reliant on shadows and color schematics than Carracci in his compositional technique. This paper further discusses how in this manner, both Carracci and Caravaggio express similarities and differences in their approach to painting technique during the Italian Renaissance.

Privatization of Ontario Hydro, 2002.
An overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the privatization of Ontario Hydro.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is a critical analysis of the issues that are related to the efforts in privatizing Ontario Hydro. In evaluating various points of argument, this paper indicates that it may prove wiser to keep the electrical utility within the public sector, managed and developed as needed by public moneys, and also, continuing to employ Ontarians about the province according to wages and conditions that have been usual and which in some parts of Ontario are an important aspect of local economies. When the issues are examined in terms of what would benefit ordinary citizens of the province who enjoy affordable electricity in return for their tax dollar and past tax investment, the privatization of Ontario Hydro does not seem advisable in the long term, as appealing as it may be to capitalist interests, in the short term.
