From the Paper
"To understand the relationship that can develop between the Internet and banks, one has to first understand the nature of both these items. The first to be understood is the banks. So far as banks are concerned, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, central banking which is the source of all banking activity would appear to be at a crossroads in their future. Earlier it was the lender of last resort, active participant in stabilizing economic fluctuations, and now the present main function is being the guardian of price stability. As it is still the monetary authority, much is expected from them. At one stage, fiscal policy was considered to be the main instrument of economic policy, the situation changed to an ascendancy of monetary policy and that was noted by the late 1980s in most parts of the industrialized world. This had a lot of implications for the role of the central bank."

Abstract
This paper presents four potential dangers to banks in emerging markets and relates them to the lessons of the founding banking system of the United States: Macroeconomic volatility, connected lending, political involvement and financial liberalization. This paper discusses that the emerging banking industries in Eastern Europe must learn to operate in an objective environment free from burdensome and often disastrous government control; just as, the ever-present tension in the United States between government policy and banking policy ensured the banking industry's objectivity. This paper argues that the primary cause of the banking crisis in Eastern Europe was the banks' decision to allow financiers with little experience and even less capital to set up their own banks.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The insistence by the American chief executive in the mid 18th to mid 19th century to keep separate government policy from banking policy has not been demonstrated in the communist economies of Eastern Europe. The second major crisis factor for these economies has been connected (or insider) lending, particularly in Russia. Though not unheard of in rich countries, connected lending is a more serious problem in emerging countries, where supervisors are less rigorous about rooting it out. The Economist maintains that connected lending has recently caused serious problems where unscrupulous businessmen have found it easy to set up banks simply to finance their other companies' pet projects. Thus, at many Russian banks, the personal ambitions of owners and managers still come before the prudent assessment of lending risks. Loans to related companies are rarely made on an arm's length basis and tend to be granted at below-market rates, with scant credit vetting."

Abstract
This paper reviews Nick Hornsby's novel "High Fidelity." It discusses the general plot of the novel and describes, in detail, the role of the character Rob Fleming in the plot. The paper compares the character of Rob to the traditional Bildungsroman character and suggests that he does not fit with this typical role. It describes scenes and narratives of Rob's to explain this view-point.
From the Paper
"Eventually, by the end of the novel, Rob begins to acknowledge Laura's humanity as well as his own. This separates him from his friends: "'we're not as bad as you think, Rob.' 'You couldn't be. Look, Barry. There's going to be people from Laura's work there, people who own dogs and babies and Tina Turner albums. How are you going to cope with them?'" (303) Rob has, like the Bildungsroman hero, become integrated into a larger society and become a man and learned to judge persons on more meaningful criteria than their love of counter-cultural music on LPs. But rather than suggest that this is a loss of youth, ingenuity, and vitality, Rob's maturity comes to Laura, to the reader, and ultimately to himself as a relief, as this maturity has been long overdue."

Fidelity in "Romeo and Juliet", 2005.
Examines the theme of fidelity within "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, Romeo provides a set of moral and ethical problems in relation to his love for both Rosaline and Juliet. By being indecisive as to his physical attractiveness to Rosaline, Romeo betrays his easily seduced mentality in regards to physical love. The paper shows that in this regard, Romeo behaves more as an immature man filled with sexual desire for women, rather than a man that would later kill himself in honor of Juliet. Through these means, Romeo loses credibility in his love for Juliet, as related through his prior and simultaneous relationship with Rosaline in the play.
From the Paper
"This drama study reflects the issues of fidelity within the characters Romeo and Rosaline in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. By examining the critical aspects of the play, one cane realize Romeo's lack of romantic loyalty in relation to Juliet. Throughout the various issues that arise between Romeo's love for Rosaline, the problem of his fidelity demeans and lowers his credibility as a lover in relation to the greater tragedy of loving Juliet. Romeo is infatuated with Rosaline, and there can be no doubt as to how he presents a two-sided question as to his fidelity to Juliet. Act One of Shakespeare's play reflects Romeo's romantic heart, as it swoons for Rosaline before he has the chance to get truly involved with Juliet."

Fidelity from the Homeric Perspective, 2002.
A study of the concept of faithfulness in Homer's "The Odyssey".

Abstract
Uses concise examples from Homer's text to illustrate what fidelity meant to the characters of Odysseus and Penelope in "The Odyssey" and parallels that to modern society.
From the Paper
"In contemplating the question of fidelity between Odysseus and Penelope in Homer's The Odyssey, one relentlessly sails into the questions of definition and perspective. The concept of fidelity in twentieth century society may carry very different connotations than it did in ancient Greek literature, but then again parallels can be seen. Twentieth century connotations aside, the word fidelity means different things in different languages, and judgments of fidelity must be adjusted accordingly. Fidelity, the word, carries overtones not just of faith, but of trust and belief. A tribute to the similarities between the two characters, Odysseus and Penelope both fail to meet these standards. Neither character has a great deal of trust or faith in anything. The ultimate destination is knowledge of the two characters amidst a great span of time and language, and all understanding is tempered by perspective. One must explore all channels of possibility to arrive, exhaustingly, at a compromise of ideas."

From the Paper
"802.11g is the current standard technology for wireless networking. 802.11g is nominally capable of 54 Mb/s connections, just over half the speed of typical wired Ethernet. In reality, speeds are usually much lower. A typical fast Internet connection is less than 6 Mb/s, so 802.11g is more than adequate for Internet access. 802.11g is limiting in situations involving transfer of large files between computers on the same network and use of high-bandwidth applications. 802.11g can also be problematic in an area with a high concentration of wireless networks. The range of frequencies that 802.11g is able to use is very narrow. An apartment complex in a technologically sophisticated area may have a number of overlapping networks, resulting in interference. 802.11n will have a larger frequency range in which to operate, as well as larger channels and faster hardware technologies such as MIMO, or multiple in, multiple out. MIMO technology involves using multiple antennas to maintain several parallel connections between a wireless access point and a computer's wireless network card. MIMO increases the overall bandwidth available to the network."

From the Paper
"Amos and Hosea both react to corruption in 8th century Israel. Each condemns injustice and the maltreatment of the poor. Amos?s tone, however, is decidedly harsher than Hosea?s. Amos warns Israel to return to covenantal fidelity or risk facing terrifying divine justice, whereas Hosea highlights the need for true knowledge of God in order to reap the benefits of God?s compassion for his son, Israel. Because Hosea?s message better synthesizes with the Israelite tradition of blessing, his message would likely have been more effective than Amos?s in actually effecting reform in Israel."

From the Paper
"The four P's of marketing strategy are product, price, place, and promotion. Service products differ from product goods in several respects. Services are intangible and ephemeral and are experienced rather than owned. Customers may in addition be required to visit the service site, in which case they may be asked to participate actively in the process of service creation, delivery, and consumption (Lovelock 312). Place for service products has been much affected by technology so that there is now a variety of means for customers to access some services and participate actively in the process without actually visiting the service site. The placement theme of import today is to offer the customer more choice so that some people can opt for face-to-face contact, choose the telephone, or make use of more impersonal contacts such as the computer or some other mechanism (Love ..."

Islamic Banking - Religion as an Excuse, 2006.
This paper explains the differences between Islamic banking and conventional banking. It argues politically, as opposed to economically, that both systems are the same.

Abstract
The writer explains that the emergence of Islamic banking is an example of how religion has become subservient to economic needs, and more specifically, how Islam has become subservient to capitalism. The paper explains that although advocates claim that Islamic banking is distinctive from interest rate banking, such methods are merely window dressing - a way for the banks to legitimize themselves. The writer explains that in Shariah, Islamic law, people are prohibited from charging and receiving interest. The paper draws parallels between conventional banking systems and the new modes of so-called interest-free banking. The paper states that Islamic banks have been mimicking conventional banks, pushing for short-term, low-risk investments that are similar in quantity and risk to those obtained by other conventional banks. The writer explains that the methods used to evade interest prohibition include mislabeling interest under the false pretense of administrative costs and delegating puppet banks to alleviate responsibility from Islamic institutions. The writer challenges the advocates of this system who claim that it is Shariah-compliant. In summation, the writer states that it is evident that in the current Islamic system, Islamic beliefs have taken a second place to the capitalist system.

From the Paper
"During the 80s, Muslim countries such as Sudan, Iran and Pakistan underwent the growth of Islamic banking due to an oil boom and the need for Muslim communities to establish a unique economic presence in the new international economic order (Pipes, 1982:45; cf. ICO: 1982). By 1995, 144 public and private banking institutions had been established claiming to practice a??Islamic bankinga?? (Shaik, 1997:118). However, this paper will argue that Islamic banking is conventional banking in disguise. Islamists have merely used the former to bypass religious restrictions to meet their capitalistic needs in a manner that is compliant, and sometimes even not compliant, to interpretations of the Shariah. Such assertions can be supported by examining characteristics of the current Islamic banking system. Nazih N. Ayubi has written about religion being subservient to the state. In this particular case, the evolution of Islamic banking has become an example of Islam being subservient to capitalism."

"The best way to determine what the future might hold is to understand the past and the present, and add to that the changes seen by experts on the horizon. Therefore, constructing the history of Pakistani banking forms a major part of the current research; outlining contemporaneous changes and decisions regarding Pakistani banking made by its most senior officials is also important to understanding the influences on bank manager career tracks and attitudes. In addition, an extensive literature review of those factors that generally contribute t manager career orientation in any business will help understand the Pakistani bank managers' positions. Interviews with at least a few current Pakistani bank managers will display the attitudes they currently hold, and provide insight into what they expect in the future and what would make them more or less career-oriented."

" INTERNET BANKING: A TECHNOLOGY IN SEARCH OF ACCEPTANCE
Introduction and Thesis Argument
On January 21, 1997, the Royal Bank Scotland announced that it had completed the technological fine-tuning and was now Britain's first fully-fledged Internet Bank (1). The announcement generated the suspected editorial comments that suggested that retail banking is dead, and that a brave new world of cyber transactions are the wave of the future. Is Internet Banking the trend to watch out for?
That's the leading question behind the banking industry's
top-to-bottom redesign of the entire retail operations of some of the world's largest banks, a concept some analysts are calling "Future Banks." This concept is a mix of all the elements.."

A merger occurs when two or more companies combine to form one, where the buying firm absorbs all the asset and liabilities of the selling firms.

"Larger mergers may create larger assets for the company, but bankers are still left in the dark with what to do with those assets. These days, auto dealer are more likely to handle auto loans, credit cards are received through the mail, and mortgage brokers can provide great deals on mortgages. Not to mention the invention of online banking. Now there are online services that will search the Internet to get the best prices on a CD?s, credit cards, consumer loans and mortgages.
