The author believes that Russia was not strong enough politically to impose its will and not attractive enough economically to be able to seduce the new states. Russia consequently faces the dilemma that the choice in favor of Europe and America."

From the Paper
"The grand jury is a unique feature of Anglo-American law that has existed since the 12th century. Though grand juries have largely fallen out of favor, they are still used in many American jurisdictions. This is particularly true at the federal level because of Constitutional clauses regarding grand juries. This paper will examine the development of grand juries, the present use of such panels, and the strengths and weaknesses of the system.
Grand juries trace their lineage to 1166, when Henry II, the King of England, employed a body of locals as his investigative arm. The initial grand juries did not hear evidence per se, but rather were the sources of evidence, reporting what they had heard and seen-in other words, gossip (Frankel and Naftalis, pp. 6-7)."

Table of Contents:
Overview
Training Objectives
Budgetary Considerations
Faculty Skills Needed
From the Paper
"Training comes with a price. One of the difficulties apparent at RGMG is the current inability of managers to maintain a budget when operating on a day-to-day basis. This suggests financial planning and strategy sessions are necessary to help managers stay within budget and realize the implications of moving outside of their budget. Financial training may include breaking down budgetary considerations and allocations into various business units and helping managers realize the impacts going outside budgetary constraints will have. Trainers should work on creating realistic budgets that managers and department heads can easily follow that consider not only the needs of department's heads but also the needs of the organization as a whole. Financial planners and human resources agents should work with department's heads to provide guidelines and techniques for staying under budget. Department heads should also realize strict reprimands when they step outside of their budgetary boundaries or exceed budgetary expectations. These reprimands may include reductions in business unit perks or salary bonuses to key members of department."

Descartes' Grand Project, 2006.
An evaluation and understanding of Descartes' Grand Project.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 1 source, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Descartes' Grand Project was a good idea because identifying and establishing philosophically certain beliefs was necessary in order to provide a solid foundation upon which to base sound philosophical theories. It further explains that Descartes understood that if the foundation was flawed, everything that rested upon it would be flawed, so he formulated his method of doubt in his Meditations on First Philosophy in order to establish a solid foundation he and other philosophers could rely upon. The paper then reports that in considering material provided in Meditations I through IV, it is evident that Descartes' purpose was to systematically question everything he had believed up to that point, logically test its veracity, and subsequently identify unquestionable truths.

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about the fire at MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas which broke out in 1980 and killed over 100 people. The writer discusses the cause of the fire as well as many aspects of the response from emergency management. It shows that, even after the fire, hotel management argued that two dollar smoke detectors in each hotel room was too much of an expense for the hotel to cover. The paper examines the changes made to the fire regulations after the tragedy that will hopefully save lives in the future.
From the Paper
"The MGM Fire has been recorded as the second worst hotel fire in the history of the nation. When all was aid and done almost 100 people were dead and many others injured. The MGM fire has been credited with opening the public?s eyes to the fact that fire and smoke do kill people. When the fire occurred the Nevada Governor appointed a committee of fire prevention experts that included building inspectors, government officials and firefighters to examine the fire?s causes and things that could have been done to minimize the damage and death that it caused(Koch, 2000).
One of the biggest issues that came to the public following the MGM Grand fire was the fact that it did not have a sprinkler system installed."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Rio Grande Medical Group (RGMG) in Texas in terms of its ongoing operations. The paper explores several operational concerns of the group, namely, the lack of budgetary control and oversight; the employee relations difficulties and customer service concerns. The author contends that the recommended solution is a training program consisting of three modules that address each of these operational areas which will be directed at the RGMG management and staff.
From the Paper
"The Rio Grande Medical Group (RGMG) is a multi-specialty medical practice group consisting of 35 practicing physicians in Texas. RGMG is owned and managed by physicians and is organized into five clinical areas of concentration: 1) Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2) Pediatrics, 3) General Practice, 4) Urology, and 5) Orthopedics. Each clinical department is directly managed by a practicing physician acting as the clinical head. Because of the number of support and medical staff required to maintain the operations of a medical group with 35 practicing physicians is substantial, a number of operational problems have begun to emerge that are interfering with the quality of care, revenue maintenance, and human resource concerns within RGMG. Problem Statement The number one observation is that physicians are not necessarily managers. In fact, those that attempt to manage the business functions of their practice while still being the primary medical provider ..."

The Grand Tour, 2003.
A discussion of the beneficial and detrimental effects of the eighteenth century Grand Tour.
1,793 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper gives a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of taking part in the Grand Tour in the eighteenth century - a tour around Europe that the aristocracy embarked upon during this period.The main points include advantages such as health, cultural knowledge leading to modernisation throughout Britain and general pleasure including activities such as sex and gambling. Disadvantages include cost, crime and loss of health.
From the Paper
"Young tourists found that tourism opened more opportunity for sexual adventure, seen in Britain as a less acceptable pastime due to the high standards of morality in Britain (as Douglas Hay and Nicholas Rogers describe ?improvident, dissolute? sexual relations were seen to be a big problem and in need of reformation and sex was also illegal before marriage) as well as the problems that could arise - not only venereal disease. Many tourists went abroad to attend brothels and due to the generosity of foreign prostitutes because of the restrictions in Britain. Black also describes how what was seen as immoral in Britain was overlooked abroad so this would therefore be seen as a benefit of the Grand Tour by those who engaged in sex abroad."

"Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina", 2006.
A critical analysis of the "Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina" by Galileo.

Abstract
This paper examines how, in his letter to the Grand Duchess Christina, Galileo argues that explanations of physical phenomena are not matters of faith. It discusses how he consistently attacks his opponents and counters their arguments on the basis of two flaws, while defending his own work and the place of science in society. By constantly emphasizing the significance of the Bible and his own devout nature, the papers attempts to show how Galileo's clear arguments succeed in proving how the domains of religion and science can be balanced without demeaning one or the other.
From the Paper
"Galileo upholds and supports the significance of his scientific work and of science in general, not by humbling religion but by refuting the beliefs of those associated with it. In turn, he accuses them of wrongdoing in the name of Catholicism. By attributing this as the sole reason for any discrepancy between science and religion, he begins to attack his opponents. He does so in a very direct and precise way. First, he makes it clear that many of his opponents are ignorant of the current scientific developments, even those that are compatible with Catholic doctrine. The fact that Galileo had supporters from the Church proves that even the controversial points could be studied, as long as their legitimacy was not openly acknowledged. This justifies Galileo in accusing his adversaries of a complete lack of knowledge and understanding of science. "
