Abstract
In this book review the writer offers an introduction and discussion of the book ?Red-Hot and Righteous by Diane Winston. It begins by giving an overview of the book and assessing what message Winston intended to give her readers. The review highlights the themes that the author covers such as the Salvation Army?s history, background and rise to greatness. In the conclusion the writer explores that while the book is an effective review of the Salvation Army, it does not continue up to the present day and therefore is not as comprehensive as it could have been.
From the Paper
"Red-Hot and Righteous" tells the story of the Salvation Army from its inception to 1950. They called it the "Cathedral of the Open Air," and it worked nowhere better than in New York City. The first representatives of the Army, which began in England in the 1860s, arrived in New York in 1880. "At home in England, the Army's novel methods, including loud parades, female preachers, and hymns set to popular tunes, were attacked not only in the press but also in the streets" (Winston 10). The army's members were "men and women mostly belonging to the working class" (Winston 13), who had joined the army, found religion, and were now saved from "immorality and ruffianism."

Abstract
A review of Haynes political work, which seeks to rectify deficiencies in the historiography of American anti-Communism. The paper points out that prior examinations have failed to accurately explain critical components of the opposition to Communism in the years after World War II. It shows how Haynes indicates that these works have misunderstood and incorrectly characterized the nature of anti-Communist activity. The paper specifies Haynes's four principal shortcomings in earlier depictions and explains them.
From the Paper
"First, he asserts, many histories do not adequately establish the connection between the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) and the espionage activities of the Soviet Union. Second, previous analyses have not described the significant links between pre-World War II antifascism and postwar anticommunism. Next, he charges, the accounts routinely fail to demonstrate the scope and diversity of sentiment against communism. Finally, prior works typically portray anticommunism as senseless and inscrutable. ?To make American anticommunism in the 1940s and 1950s historically explicable,? he writes, ?is the purpose of this book? (vii)."

Diane Arbus, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses that, despite much criticism, there are those who will support the idea that Diane Arbus is an artist in the truest sense. The author believes that her photographs have a way of bringing out the true nature of the people she is working to photograph. The paper concludes that Diane Arbus?s work is not invasive, but rather challenges the viewer to see the reality of the harsher things in life.
From the Paper
"Diane Arbus says the following of her work: ?Freaks were a thing I photographed a lot?Freaks are born with their trauma. They?ve already passed it. They?re aristocrats? (Bosworth, 1985, preface). This statement seems to reflect the idea not that Diane is abusing her subjects, but rather that she admires them for having withstood a life of traumatic experience. Diane has been quoted as saying that most people live in fear of something freakish or unexpected happening to them (Arbus, 1977)."

Hot Dog! a History
This is a research paper written about the history and reputation of the hot dog. It discusses the origin of the hot dog, origin of the word hot dog, and discusses various aspects and impacts of the hot dog's existence in today's American culture.
From the Paper
"Although hot dogs originated in Germany, hot dogs are still as American as apple pie. Hot dogs are one of the oldest forms of processed food, having been mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as far back as the 9th Century B.C. (Jackson) At first glance one might think that the Hot Dog has a rather dry history. Upon prying into the archives and prying into the taste buds of the masses, I discovered the hot dogs meaty and controversial history and prominent present gives people plenty to say about the 500 year old dog."

"The Red Convertible", 2008.

Abstract
The paper looks at "The Red Convertible" by Louise Edrich that depicts how the Lamartine family, especially the two brothers, deal with the older brother's return from Vietnam. The paper discusses how the altered family dynamics are shown by the symbol of the red convertible and how this symbol changes throughout the story.
From the Paper
"The story presents the struggles of two brothers to cope with their changing relationship, as well as the changes taking places in the post-Vietnam world. In fact, the relationship between the two brothers is used as a direct parallel of the post-war situation in the sense that their story is a symbol of the difficulties and readjustments that many Vietnam veterans and their families were faced with after the war. The theme of brotherhood is central to the plot. The story is told from Lyman's point of view which means the reader has no direct insight into Lyman's brother's thoughts."

A Managerial Analysis of Red Hat, Inc., 2002.
A discussion of the management perspectives on Red Hat's attempt to overrun Microsoft and take Linux to new heights.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the managerial model of Red Hat, Inc., the world's largest and most successful distributor of the open-source Linux operating system. The paper discusses issues such as the structure of Red Hat's management team (particularly its focus on global sales and marketing), the grass-roots approach adopted by Red Hat, a SWOT analysis of Red Hat's strengths and weaknesses, and the role of R&D in Red Hat's success. Red Hat's business model and its attempt to make a profit off of a free product is also examined.
From the Paper
"With all of today?s rapid advancements in technology, especially in computer-related products, one thing seems to remain constant. Ask any home or small-business computer user which operating system (OS) powers their PCs, and the answer is almost sure to be some version of Microsoft Windows. In fact, most PC users probably do not even know there is any alternative. Red Hat, Inc., of Raleigh, NC, is aiming to change all that. Red Hat is currently the largest distributor of the increasingly popular Linux operating system, a more user-friendly clone of the Unix platform, originally developed by programmer Linus Torvalds. Linux is based on the open-source software model, meaning that the code behind the software is available freely to the public and to programmers for constant alteration and rapid improvement. This model stands in stark contrast to the highly secret, proprietary monopoly created by Microsoft. Obviously, if Red Hat hopes to steal the market away from Microsoft and to make Linux a popular household name, its managers must develop a competitive strategy that will be effective enough to create nothing short of a revolution in the battle for the best operating system."

Abstract
This paper discusses Red Tide - the common name for the blooming of certain species of dinoflagellata that have a reddish pigment causing the water to appear to be red when the massive numbers of dinoflagellates accumulate. The paper examines the dangers of Red Tide to human beings in the form of nausea, skin irritation and weakened immune systems. It also shows that Red Tide can be fatal to marine life, especially marine mammals. Finally, the paper discusses the effects of Red Tide on the fishing industry and the various things which are being done to try and control it.
From the Paper
"Red tides have been completely unaffected by pollution, and finding a way to contain outbreaks has been a daunting task for scientists. Most recently, a Woods Hole scientist has been experimenting with using clay to smother the algae (Fairfield). This new method has helped protect the billion-dollar fishing industries in Japan and South Korea, and scientists are hoping it can protect the waters in the United States as well (Fairfield).
Until recently, the research has focused mainly on the toxins emitted, and the chemistry of the harmful blooms ? not on finding ways to control the blooms (Fairfield). While the United States isn?t a fishing economy per se, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimate that the U.S. will lose more that $1 billion over the next ten years because of the toxic algae (Fairfield)."

From the Paper
"Every year more than 300 people die of heat-related illnesses and many others require medical attention, according to a CDC report. Often those who experience exertional heat illness are athletes who are taking part in physical activity in a warm or hot environment, who might benefit from early on-site identification of their condition and timely, appropriate treatment. Noting that many cases of heat illness are preventable and others can be treated, the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) recently issued a new consensus statement from the Inter-Association Task Force on Exertional Heat Illnesses that features guidelines for effective prevention and management. (NATA 2003)."

From the Paper
"Dietrich Mateschitz originally came up with the idea for his energy beverage in 1984, after traveling to Asia and discovering the popularity of energy drinks in some areas (A new market, 2007). Mateschitz brought several samples back to Austria and after three long years developed his own version involving both medical research and scientific testing (Brunnen, 2007).
"It was "this period (that) saw the birth of the product positioning 'Red Bull vitalizes body and mind' and the unique slogan 'Red Bull gives you wiings!'" (A new market, 2007). First launched in Austria, in 1992, it was then quickly rolled out throughout most of Europe. This was then followed by North and South America, Africa and then Australia. By 2002, more than one billion cans were being sold annually (Brunnen, 2007)"

The American Red Cross, 2005.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, in 1881, Clara Barton proposed the establishment of the American Red Cross, based on the revolutionary model of the International Red Cross that was already operating in Europe, where the organization would not only assist military hospitals during times of war but also help during peacetime with disaster relief and health and safety education of the general public. The author points out that before World War I, the Red Cross mainly served to promote first aid, water safety and public health nursing programs in the United States; however, after the outbreak of war and the pandemic influenza outbreak, the size of the organization exploded from 107 local chapters in 1914 to 3,864 in 1918. The paper relates that the organization has evolved into an advocate of humanitarianism, even criticizing its own government although the Red Cross itself has not avoided its own scandals.
From the Paper
"The Red Cross is an organization that grew out of the suffering of the wars of the nineteenth century. In 1863, Henri Dunant, a Swiss businessman, published "A Memory of Solferino", a memoir about his time in the northern Italian battlefield of Solferino. The book dealt with how war affected the lives of both the combatants and civilians. This memoir inspired the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1864. This committee was lead by Jean-Henry Dunant, who would win the first Nobel Peach Prize in 1901 for founding the Red Cross. The first committee was made up of representatives from eleven countries. Their purpose was to lessen the suffering that came from war and they recommended that every country have its own committee that was endowed with enough influence to effectively cooperate in times of war with the hospital services of the battling armies."

"Red Azalea: Life and Love in China", 2006.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "Red Azalea: Life and Love in China" by Anchee Min. According to this paper, the book is based on "Red Azalea" a film Anchee Min worked on at a film studio in China. This paper tells us that "Red Azalea" is the story of the "perfect" Chinese woman - a woman who was loyal to the Communist Party and its teachings above all else, and that the film "Red Azalea" was written by Chairman Mao's wife, Madame Mao (Jiang Ching).
From the Paper
"The film means different things to the characters that are touched by it. For Min, it represents hope and the ability to make a name and a career for herself, and it represents respect from those around her. It also represents her absence from Yan, who she loves, or at least thinks she loves. Min is touched by the story, but she is more impressed with what being a star will mean to her life and her family. However, because her dream of being a star does not come true, the film also represents the end of Min's dreams, or at least the end of her life with Yan and the beginning of a new life. Min writes, "In the dark I realized that it was a lion's den I had entered. The darkness silenced a roaring cry. The coldness of thoughts froze me. I could hear the sound of my dream's spine breaking" (Min 170). Her dream of happiness seems like it will never come true, but that is not how the story ends. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the rivalry between and stiff competition between the baseball teams from Boston and New York City, the Red Sox and the Yankees. It examines the root causes of this rivalry which dates back to 1920 when Harry Frazee, the ?unlucky? owner of Red Sox, sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $100,000 and never won a World Series again. This is now known as the Curse of the Bambino which has badly affected the Red Sox performance and fans are keenly awaiting a strong comeback 84 years after the team won its last major championship. It evaluates the games and decisions over the years since 1920, which have served as catalysts for this enduring rivalry and how Red Sox needs to get over this curse jinx if they truly want to beat Yankees and reduce the impact of this long and fierce rivalry.
From the Paper
"Since that fateful Bambino trade, New York Yankees has maintained its domination in the field of baseball. Not only do they play skillfully, they also have the right attitude towards the game. Apart from that they have the psychological edge over Red Sox that is backed by a wonderful record. A rivalry, which was initiated by Babe Ruth, was gave a enduring touch by other great players including Bucky Dent whose home run hit in 1978 occupies a major place in the successful history of Yankees."
