Abstract
This paper discusses the Brownfield redevelopment project in the Greater Toronto area. The paper contends that the considerable interest in Brownfield redevelopment, as seen in the prominence of such projects as the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, the redevelopment of the former Greenwood racetrack in the Beaches, and most recently the Port Lands and the Railway Lands, suggest that Brownfield redevelopment is an idea whose time has come. The paper also points out that this level of redevelopment is only occurring due to market forces as the high cost of real estate in Toronto render the cleanup costs necessary for Brownfield redevelopment acceptable to private developers. The paper then discusses and analyzes many of the issues surrounding the redevelopment of Brownfield.
From the Paper
During the past two decades there has been considerable interest in brownfield redevelopment in the Greater Toronto Area. The prominence of such projects as the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, the redevelopment of the former Greenwood racetrack in the Beaches, and most recently the Port Lands and the Railway Lands appears to suggest that brownfield redevelopment is an idea whose time has come. While this level of redevelopment is undeniable, it must also be acknowledged that, in most cases, this level of redevelopment is only occurring due to market forces as the high cost of real estate in Toronto render the cleanup costs necessary for brownfield redevelopment acceptable to private developers.

Abstract
The value of revitalizing contaminated sites, or brownfields, has gained widespread acceptance. The efforts at remediation and eventual redevelopment of these sites involve several stakeholders, since the exercise directly impacts a number of different interests. The paper shows that the key issues to be resolved for the successful rejuvenation of brownfields sites are technical, legal, financial, future land use and community issues. Satisfactory resolution of these issues results in a happy confluence of interests working together to ensure the full exploitation of these under-utilized assets. This paper fully discusses the issues and the attendant obstacles to redevelopment of brownfields sites, and examines some of the more successful approaches which have been employed.

Major Issues in Brownfields Redevelopment

From the Paper
"Liability protection ranks high on the list of concerns for potential investors, and the VCPs have responded to this obstacle. Many states offer some measure of liability protection. However, the liability assurances offered by VCPs must be in keeping with current state laws, and can only be for such activities as recognized by that state. Thus, there is always the possibility, however remote, of these guarantees being supplanted by federal law."

Trade-mark and Patent Infringement Remedies, 2008.
Compares Canadian law and legal practices regarding trade mark and patent infringement remedies.

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the legal debates over trade-mark and patent infringement remedies are analogous because both involve some infringement of intellectual properties, clear similarities and differences exist between these two areas of litigation. The author points out that a comparison and contrast of the remedies available in cases of trade-mark and patent infringement suggest that they often differ not so much in the general remedies themselves but in the particulars of their implementation. The paper argues that the belief that remedies are to be treated more as an afterthought than an independent area of study is no longer possible or desirable in the contemporary context.

Comparison and Contrast
Reflections
From the Paper
"These Anton Piller orders represent a significant difference between remedies for trade-mark and patent infringement as they reflect how the phenomenon of piracy has developed and evolved in recent years. In such examples, the piracy of intellectual property has no clear analogue in the area of patent infringement. The counterfeiting of products and the deliberate infringement upon trade-marks in order to pass a product off as the work of a previously existing company/organization with a registered trade-mark is a phenomenon of increasing concern today."

The Brownfield Sites, 2005.
This paper discusses Brownfield sites in the U.K., a program for the reuse of property and for minimizing environmental damage.

Abstract
This paper explains that a Brownfield site is any land or premises which has been used previously as a building site and is not currently fully in use and can be used again as part of an environmental policy plan. The author points out that such land may be derelict land, which requires the removal of chemical waste, derelict infrastructure or instability problems, before the land can be redeveloped. The paper relates that the Brownfield system has been successful because it has opened the way for most investors while still maintaining sufficient control to force a cleanup and to assure that housing is placed where housing is needed and business property where business property is needed, according to some centralized plan rather than on an ad hoc basis as was more common in the past.

From the Paper
"One of the areas that have been redeveloped in this fashion is at Stoke-on-Trent, and analysts have examined this site and reported on the brownfield process. R.M. Ball writes specifically about recent policy pronouncements on the UK built environment so as to reinforce the importance of infrastructure, sustainable use, and brownfield
development, and he focuses directly on the issue of vacant industrial premises, or brown buildings, in the local industrial property market. Ball argues that property development is both an economic and a social process, and in both areas, Ball sees the process as an interaction between "actors" in the development process in relation to structural forces that both constrain and facilitate actors as they seek to express and realize their interests."

From the Paper
"The pharmaceutical companies have found that Wall Street is still supportive of their stocks. A ?recent front-page article in the Wall Street Journal assailed on $100-million-a-year nutritional supplement company, which is growing at the rate of 20% per year, for having a one-man R&D department while pharmaceutical companies require huge outlays for R&D as well as FDA clinical studies. The WSJ reporter felt it was unfair for nutritional supplement companies to be able to make health claims on their products while drug manufacturers have to undergo extensive studies for the same right."

Abstract
The issue of Brownfield re-development has been one of the most significant matters to ever consume the time and attention of Toronto civic leaders. Indeed, the consensus (at least among those who closely follow the flagging fortunes of the city's waterfront) is that a failure to adequately resolve Toronto's brown field problem will do lasting harm to Canada's largest metropolitan center. In this paper, the writer explores the brown field redevelopment situation in Toronto by examining whether or not there are any differences to be found between the redeveloped condominiums built on former industrial sites and those built at other locations.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Brownfields Statute Law Amendment Act which relates to lands in Ontario that have been used in the past for industrial or commercial activity. The author explains the goals and benefits that could be realized from such legislation.
From the Paper
"Brownfields are lands on which industrial or commercial activity took place in the past and that may need to be cleaned up before it can be redeveloped. As a result of this, Ontario passed legislation and regulations to aid in this transition. The Brownfields Statute Law Amendment Act was brought around in 2001 and focused on a variety of issues that concerned the cleanup and betterment of the environment . Things such as environmental liability, planning and financing are important factors that strengthen the resolve to redevelop contaminated areas."

Abstract
The paper finds that this testing is important in order to determine the degree to which the money spent on the program has been justified. The writer also looks at the possibility for an expansion of the program. The paper studies the relevant literature on the topic, finding that there is strong support that remedial programs boost the achievement levels of slow learning adults.
From the Paper
"As part of its general mandate, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) provides a broad array of services to the world's 3.3 million Palestine refugees distributed in various host countries including Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and the occupied territories in Israel (UNRWA 2000). One of these services is education, part of which is focused on providing remedial services to those students characterized by the Agency as "slow learners." Slow learners are conceptualized as students whose mental abilities or IQ is lower than that of their chronological age (D'Silva, 1998)."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the various therapies available in Canada to patients suffering from physical ailments. In addition to a medical overview of these therapies, which include prescription drugs, OTC and herbal medications, the paper also discusses legislation governing their disbursement and use.
From the Paper
"OTC medications might be considered 'milder' forms of prescription medications. Many of them have similar effects as prescription medications, such as pain relief, but are generally less powerful and contain less active ingredients than their prescription counterparts. Most consumers are able to purchase over the counter medications at a local grocer or pharmacist, and many use them to self-medicate or treat minor ailments and illnesses."

Abstract
This proposal tests the effectiveness of remedial center programs of the UNRWA for slow learning Palestinian adults. The proposal notes that such a test is important in order to determine the degree to which the monies spent on the program have been justified and also because it will help UNRWA management decide whether the program should be expanded. The paper includes a review of the relevant literature, an explanation of the research method and concludes that research will have a great deal of practical significance to be used by the top management of the UNRWA education department to help them take appropriate decisions regarding the future of the remedial center.
From the Paper
"It can be noted here that the proposed research will have a great deal of practical significance. In this regard, the findings of this research can be used by the top management of the UNRWA Education Department to help them take appropriate decisions regarding the future of the Remedial Center. For example, collected data will inform as to whether the program is worth the literally millions of dollars that have been spent on it. Further, the findings of the proposed research can help management decide whether the program should be expanded."

From the Paper
"Ethnobotany, the study of how native peoples use plants, is a complex mixture of sociology, anthropology, botany, economics, ecology, and medicine (9). Most modern medicines are derivatives of, or synthetic forms of, chemical compounds found naturally in plants. Twenty-five to 40 percent of prescriptions in the U. S. use compounds which are derived from plants, and the World Health Organization estimates that 80 percent of the earth's population use plants for primary medical care (1,9). Of the more than 250,000 known plant species, only about 5,000 have been examined chemically for medicinal properties. This paper will look at some of the work being done by researchers to prove the effectiveness of natural remedies for bacterial and fungal infections, and on diseases such as cancer.

"FOLK REMEDIES IN INDIA
Introduction
Since the 1950s the study of ethnobotany has increased. Ethnobotany is the word used to define the experience of people observing birds and animals, and testing leaves, fruits and tubers for abilities to satisfy hunger or heal wounds. India has elements that contribute to ethnobotanical richness, floristic diversity, ethnic diversity, and rich tradition; it has a variety of climatic and physiographical conditions, cold and arid, warm and human, hot and dry, and wet. India has about 45,000 plant species and medicinal properties have been assigned to several thousand of them. Approximately 2000 are found frequently in the literature and the indigenous systems commonly use 500. Current work involves botany, pharmacognosy, chemistry, pharmacology, and ..."

Abstract
This paper begins with a medical definition and description of bipolar disorder and then continues with a look at some of the causes of the disorder, such as genetics, cognitive deficits, and environmental conditions. The paper also looks at some of the treatments available to people with bi-polar disorder.
From the Paper
"The disorder is often hereditary and affects both men and women equally. The chances of having the disorder greatly increase if there is one parent that has the disorder although it is hard to predict which generation is susceptible to being diagnosed with it. Diagnosing Bipolar disorder isn?t so simple either, with an estimated ?70% of people with bipolar disorder receive an initial misdiagnosis, often seeing 3 or 4 physicians before the correct disorder is identified?(Singer & Levine, 2003). This situation is dangerous to untreated cases of Bipolar disorder as ?25% to 50% of affected patients attempt suicide at least once? (Singer & Levine, 2003)."

How To Help Struggling Readers, 2002.
This paper examines the diagnosis and remediation of reading problems.
2,475 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses different types of reading disorders. Diagnosis and remediation of reading and reading comprehension problems are outlined. A review of the related literature is included.
From the Paper
"Aaron, Malatesha and March (1999) defined a reading disability as ?below-average achievement in reading comprehension as assessed by a standardized test.? That definition seems too narrow, as it ignores the early difficulties of emergent readers. Felton (2001) adopted Gough and Turmer?s simple definition of reading as ?the combination of word identification and language comprehension, with both components necessary for literacy.? Teachers and remedial reading instructors agree that it is not enough for students to acquire the ability to unlock unknown words. The final goal of reading is to read new information and understand what the writer is trying to communicate. While comprehension is the final goal, many students need specific instruction in the word recognition skills that will allow them to gain that meaning. It is also universally recognized that some students will have marked difficulty either in acquiring those word attack and word recognition skills, or in getting the meaning of what they?ve read, or in remembering what they have read."

The Virtual Self, 2008.
This paper explores how the mind and body interact with virtual environments, focusing on the book "Remediation" by David Bolter and Richard Grusin.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines "Remediation" by David Bolter and Richard Grusin, which looks at the changing relationships between people and the media. The paper concentrates on the chapter "The Virtual Self", which deals with the way human identities are transformed by their interactions with virtual technologies. The paper discusses Cartesian philosophy and shows how the concept of the virtual self totally disproves the Cartesian beliefs. The paper provides examples of virtual selves in contemporary media.
From the Paper
"A major section of this chapter(pages 248-254) deals with the ways in which the mind and the body interact with virtual environments. These arguments look at Cartesian and anti-Cartesian elements of the virtual self.
"In order to understand these arguments it is first necessary to have an understanding of Cartesian philosophy. Basically Cartesian philosophy is based on the work of Rene Descartes. Descartes basically sees the mind and body as separate entities."
