From the Paper
"Parallel developments occurred in a number of countries. The highest frequency at which then-current technology allowed substantial power to be generated was about 30MHz, the top end of the HF band. UK radar development proceeded rapidly from 1935 so that by 1937 the first operational (HF) radars of the Chain Home series were demonstrated. These frequencies were in place at the outbreak of World War II and played a decisive role in the air defence of Britain during the War. Wartime radar development quickly moved on to shorter wavelengths as devices were developed to allow generation and control of the power, but the Chain Home radars remained in service, as originally installed. The Chain Home radars, operating between 25 to 30MHz, on occasions indicated returns from extreme ranges, due to ionospheric reflection beyond the horizon. But they were intended as line-of-sight radars and long-range returns from the distant ground via an ionospheric reflection were generally only a source of confusion. During the War some attempts were made to use the ionospherically propagated signal for long range detections of convoys but no success was achieved (or could be expected) and tests were dropped."

Abstract
This paper relates that one of the most enduring questions regarding life, love, and the perpetuation of the growth of the individual through developed interpersonal communication, is whether or not there can be friendship after a romantic relationship has ended. This paper asserts that popular contemporary opinion, as well as anecdotal evidence, has a mixed answer. One side says a couple can never go from being lovers to friends and it's unhealthy to try. While still others say that becoming friends is the only realistic way to recover, in the long term and learn from what went right wrong in the relationship. However, the paper shows that there is also a popular idea that becoming friends after a breakup just depends on the individuals involved, the depth of the relationship, and the manner in which the relationship ended. This work reviews five scholarly research articles seeking out definitive qualitative and quantitative evidence for the answer to this question.
From the Paper
"The findings of the article lead some credence to the idea that the individual's level of distress post break-up and the eventuality of the relationship ending in the two people being friends has significant correlation to the length of time since the break-up, the level of health in the relationship, the perception of individual investment in the relationship and most importantly whether the two individuals were friends before they became romantically involved. The hints then that this work offer to the broader question is then relatively easy to assess, the most important factors in order are, if the individuals were friends before the romantic involvement, the time it has been since the relationship ended, and lastly the level of overall health and satisfaction that existed in the relationship while it was still intact. (Sprecher, Felmlee, Metts, Fehr & Vanni 791-809) The equation is then rather simple, if there is a basis for friendship, a healthy overall relationship and if enough time has passed there is a good chance that a post-relationship friendship will develop that could potentially lead to a lasting social development phase that helps both parties navigate the rights and wrongs of the relationship and possibly change themselves for the better, for the next relationship. The equation is the opposite, if it is to soon emotionally, the relationship was overall unhealthy and lastly if the two people have little if any basis for a friendship in the history of their time together then a friendship will not likely be even worth attempting. (Sprecher, Felmlee, Metts, Fehr & Vanni 791-809)"

Abstract
The paper overviews the emergence of family-friendly programs such as child support, education or company kindergartens that aimed to ease the mind of employees, who would in turn increase their performances and reduce turnover. The paper conducts a literature review and notes that studies offer controversial results regarding the true efficiencies of family-friendly programs. The paper offers three recommendations that include the continuation of the development and implementation of these family-friendly programs.

From the Paper
"Today's society is constantly changing and adapting to more and newer requirements. The business community is no exception. Organizations have implemented change as an ongoing process for reasons such as staying on top of the competition, hiring and retaining the best qualified employees or enlarging and consolidating their market share, all with the ultimate purpose of registering increased revenues. A major modification has occurred in the approach of the human resource, which now receives various incentives in the hope that these stimulations would motivate the employee to increase his performances and support the organization in reaching its overall goals. However the incentives were generally on the financial side, along the past years they have suffered significant mutations, resulting in benefits such as telecommuting, access to swimming pools and company kindergartens, dinner parties organized and paid by the organization and a wide variety of nature trips or other activities which include the family of the employee."

The TV Classic: ?Friends?, 2004.
This paper discusses the TV classic, ?Friends?, and its reflection of American popular culture.

Abstract
This paper explains that some viewers think the content of ?Friends? was groundbreaking for a sitcom comedy and a potential source of ?enlightenment?, but others take a more dim view of the sitcom by stressing its formulaic nature. The author points out that ?Friends? offers a kind of American 'enlightenment' of correct feelings rather than correct rational thoughts. The paper relates that the ostensible liberation of morals on ?Friends? merely conceals the traditional agenda of television, which is to sell a lifestyle and to sell products to an unwary audience, rather than to change, substantively, the audience?s collective mindset.
From the Paper
"Perhaps one potent metaphor for the controversy over ?Friends? potential to enlighten the viewer as to these topics may be found in a relatively early episode. As a kind of revenge against his then-roommate the fastidious Chandler, the jock-like character of Joey puts on all of Chandler?s clothing. He proudly announces to his roommate that he is ?going commando,? that is, he is not wearing any underclothes. The sexual implications of this could be read as homoerotic?on the other hand, the shame comes from the fact that this heterosexual man is shaming another heterosexual man by coming into contact with his clothing in a state of nakedness."

Family Friendly in the U.K., 2004.
Harmonizing personal and professional balance. A study of family-friendly policies in the enterprise as a major intervention in the U.K.

Abstract
This study seeks to show that there are several different family-friendly policies utilized by employers in the U. K. and that these have been necessary for some time. The three main policies are part-time work, flex-time (flexible start and finish times), and teleworking. All three of these policies are important for working mothers and others that would like to have time with their families or for other pursuits. However, not all employers are interested in offering these kinds of arrangements, and many prefer to stick with the traditional work schedule where individuals all come in at a certain time and all leave at a certain time. There is increasing evidence, though, that this does not work well for many people in the U. K., and this is the reason for studying this issue and determining what would be the best choice for everyone.
Through a solid introduction to the issue and a thorough review of the literature that is involved with it, the study shows how very important much of these family-friendly policies are and how they are often overlooked by employers who do not want to break with tradition. However, many working mothers could utilize these if only their employers were willing to allow them, and if more mothers and employers knew about the possibilities for these family-friendly ideas. Many of these policies have not been studied a great deal, and it is therefore necessary that studies such as this be conducted, so that more can be learned and discovered about this issue and more people in the U. K. can benefit from it. Sources are copied and included in the paper.

From the Paper
"The world is constantly changing. From the times of post world war two to the emergence of the neo-liberal agenda in 1975, economists are now speaking about free markets and the decline of bureaucratic capitalism. We are witnessing a continuous and dramatic shift as we are moving forward into the 21st century. This change has affected organizations all over the world in a number of ways. For example, the 1980s introduced the concept of flexibility in organizational working. Flexibility was largely driven by the employers to maximize profit and productivity. However, little concern was given to the employee benefits.
The continuous tussle between the employers and the employees has given rise to the introduction of family friendly policies. This has further led to the popularity of the concept of work life balance. This dissertation aims to identify the most commonly used practices adopted by organizations when implementing family friendly policies. It also aims to understand what influence these practices have on the organization by considering the way they affect, and are affected by, employers and employees."

Kafka's 'Judgement' - The role of the Friend in Russia., 2000.
An analysis of how the seemingly unimportant friend in Russia is used by Georg and his father in their power struggle, in the short story 'Das Urteil' (the judgement.)

Abstract
The writer explores this character friend in Russia. It shows that this hardly a character at all - we do not know his name, nor do we meet him - but he is a device through which Kafka reveals the true character of Georg Bendemann and accounts for the sentence of death which his father passes on him. Georg rejoices in his friends failures and uses them to underline his own successes, and by not inviting his friend to his wedding, he does not allow him to share in his own happiness. Other subtexts of the father's attitude to his son are explored, such as possible Freudian interpretations.
From the Paper
" Nameless, he is given only the bare bones of a personality, and appears in two differing incarnations, both as Georg's "childhood friend" , and the "son after my own heart" described by Bendemann senior. As such, he cannot be said to play an active role in the relationship between the father and son. He becomes instead a token, used by each to their own ends. Through the ways in which each character interprets the friend in Russia, and uses the image of this friend as a weapon, Kafka reveals the personalities of the protagonists, and exposes the relationship between them."

Friends with Benefits, 2008.
A discussion of the positive and negative effects of a "friends with benefits" relationship.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the term, "friends With benefits" that is used with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. The paper states that it has been downplayed as a fun type of relationship precluding the commitment level of a more serious attachment. The paper confirms that it is a sexual relationship between friends, without the time or emotional commitment of a romantic relationship and is seen as including all the fun of a sexual relationship without the commitment. The paper warns that it has also not been recognized that the consequences of such a lack of commitment could be both emotionally and physically harmful, which is particularly so among the young and inexperienced. This paper explores the nature of the "friends with benefits" phenomenon and its possible consequences; both positive and negative together with its manifestations among the very young and young adults, with recommendations on how harm could be minimized.

From the Paper
"According to Murphy (2005), the phrase was coined around 1995, and popularized by an Alanis Morrisette song. The concept has subsequently been implemented by the young generation in their 20s, and further popularized by the media in shows such as Sex and the City (with the term "fuck buddy") and more recently Boston Legal. Murphy further notes however that, as mentioned above, the dangers of the practice have started to make themselves clear in the lives and environment of people in high schools and even in junior high schools. Indeed, the "benefits" include enjoying the physical pleasure of sex without the premature burden of responsibility and commitment, and also a form of sexual empowerment for girls. Benedict Carey (2007) holds that the perceived benefits of such a relationship relates to the fact that the friendship adds an element of longevity that is absent from a fling or a one-night stand. It also provides a sense of companionship that is generally absent from other brief sexual encounters and generally only comes with a longer-term commitment."

Life in a Pet friendly Society, 2006.
A review of the ideal pet friendly society.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how in a pet friendly society pets offer human kind their services as teachers, therapists, healers and companions. It discusses how pets have the ability to share in the work that humans endure, as well as aid people in feeling more secure. The paper further defines a pet friendly society as one in which cures for cancer may be achieved, or disabled people are allowed to exist in dignity.
With little more than a request for food, shelter and love, pets enhance the lives of every human being. Pets do not care about race, gender, level of education, income, or the mistakes that people make. Regardless of those that suggest that pets are a bothersome inclusion in the world, a pet friendly society even serves the naysayers and skeptics with positive outcomes.

Abstract
This report is designed to introduce the future officer to traffic radar. It explains to the future police officer the kind of radar units he/she may encounter on a job, how they work, public opinion of them and touches on the potential health hazards that radar units can present.
From the Paper
"Since its introduction to traffic law enforcement in 1948, radar has been an integral component of vehicular speed measurement. Each year hundreds of thousands of dollars are collected in courts throughout the nation from motorists whose speed was monitored with the aid of this electronic instrument. Today, radars overall efficiency and effectiveness have been greatly enhanced. In spite of its great improvements, radar is currently being scrutinized, questioned, and challenged, not only for its reliability but also for the quality of operator training. "

Grief Counseling for Teenagers after the Death of a Friend, 2004.
A look at the role and importance of grief counselors in helping teenagers grieve the death of a friend.
2,521 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the way teenagers deal with the death of a friend and how it differs from the way adults might grieve and talks about the issues that must be dealt with when trying to resolve a loss and dealing with grief. The paper stresses the importance of grief counseling and how those teenagers that do receive counseling after the death of a friend generally come out of their grief better adjusted and capable of handling the world than those who have locked their grief up inside and simply keep it private.
From the Paper
"When a friend dies, teenagers handle that grief differently than adults would, but they still grieve very deeply. Much of their pain and grief comes from the fact that most teenagers lose friends to sudden death, such as traffic accidents, than to anticipated death, such as might come from cancer or other progressive illnesses. Whatever the cause of death, however, grief counseling is vitally important for these young people so that they can adjust to the death and become accepting of it. This is the only way that they will move on with their lives and learn to enjoy things once again. This is not the same as asking them to forget their friend or the pain that they feel at their friend's passing, but is rather asking them to learn ways to cope with the pain, so that it is not always present and life can move on."

"The Garies and Their Friends", 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the second novel to be published by an African American, "The Garies and Their Friends," written by Frank Webb. It discusses Webb's focus on the lives of middle-class free Blacks and his exploration of the racism of northern white liberals and of the perils of "passing." The paper examines how Webb's novel helps to define an emerging African-American middle class relationship with white America.
From the Paper
"Given these examples, Clarence cannot be seen as being punished in the narrative merely for the act of passing. Instead, Webb figures the problem with passing as a problem with identity. In order for Clarence to be accepted by whites, he must deny his own history. In contrast, Emily is not passing for either black or white; instead she acknowledges her identity as a child of mixed descent. Fortunately, the Black community is accepting of her status. One could conjecture that if she had to pretend to be only of African descent, she would experience the same torment as her brother. The problem, then, is the denial of the self. Race is merely a construction, but personal history is not. For Clarence to deny his own story is to deny what Hanna Arendt and Adriana Cavarero would term his "who." In her work, Relating Narratives, Cavarero illustrates how every human being "is aware of being a narratable self" (33). The "who" is shown "with clarity in the perception of a narratable self that desires the tale of her own life-story. However it is the other - the friend who recognizes the ontological roots of this desire - who is the only one who can realize such narration" (56). Clarence is hiding part of his story, and therefore his "who" is not being acknowledged."

Friends in the Workplace, 2002.
Asks the question: Should bosses and employees be friends?

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Human relationships are an integral part of the present-day process of globalization that, as we know, is transforming politics, economics, organizations, and though it may sound hackneyed - life as we know it. What is of particular interest here is a specific question pointed at the organizational level: 'should bosses and employees be friends?' The crude fact is that, though global companies are moving to decentralization and more human based relationships, there remain several different forms of organizational structures, organizational cultures, organizational objectives and so forth and any attempt at precision is quite useless. Despite these unavoidable problems, however, this paper will probe at the issue and make efforts to provide a few useful observations.

Our Mutual Friend, 2008.
An analysis of Charles Dickens' novel, "Our Mutual Friend", focusing on its message about materialist capitalism and personal disintegration.
888 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 31.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Charles Dickens' novel, "Our Mutual Friend" which centers on materialist capitalism and how its acceptance or rejection leads to personal disintegration or reunification. The paper notes that to this end, Dickens places most of his characters into a dichotomy--on one end of this dichotomy are the characters who ruthlessly trample upon others in order to economically advance themselves, while on the other end are those who seek wealth while still maintaining ethical standards. The paper discusses how, in the work, Dickens illuminates the dark realities of the cutthroat capitalism, which epitomized his contemporary Victorian society.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the characters who eschew morality and integrity in their aspirations to prosperity face misfortune and personal destruction while those who maintain their altruism and dignity even within this ruthless capitalist society experience personal reunification, redemption, and honor. Through these events, Dickens illuminates the dark realities of the cutthroat capitalism, which epitomized his contemporary Victorian society. Materialist capitalism, unlike mixed or regulated capitalism, is an economic system by which the pursuit of wealth and material goods is a significantly greater priority than the pursuit of personal character, virtue, and altruism. In the novel, Dickens illustrates its dangers by showing how it ravages human relationships, destroys communities, and pollutes individual character".
