"Analysis: Effect of Mt. Hood Eruption on Atmosphere
Introduction
Each of three major eruptive periods at Mount Hood (12,000-
15,000), 1,500-1,800, and 200-300 years ago) produced dacite
domes, pyroclastic flows, and mudflows, but virtually no pumice.
Most of the fine lithic ash that mantles the slopes of the volcano and the adjacent mountains fell from ash clouds that accompanied the pyroclastic flows. Widely scattered pumice lapilli that are present at the ground surface on the south, east, and north sides of Mount Hood may have been erupted during the mid-1800's, when the last known activity of the volcano occurred (REPORT: Recent Eruptive History..., 1998).
The geologically recent history of Mount Hood suggests that
the most likely eruptive event in the future will be the .."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the case study of Robin Hood by using the Value Driven Management Model. The Value Driven Management Model analyzes eight drivers, which include External Culture, Organizational Culture, Individual Employee, Customer, Supplier, Third-party, Owner, and Competitor. The Robin Hood case study utilizes several of these value drivers, including Organizational Culture, Individual Employee, Customer, Owner, Third-party, and Competitor.
From the Paper
"Robin?s idea of organizational culture involved his merrymen to follow his vision of vengeance for the sheriff and his vision did not have a clear strategic plan for conquering the sheriff. He believed that strength lay in numbers so that quantity, not quality had a dramatic effect on his mission. He did not know if his men had the same vision he did. He was uncertain of his progress with the campaign, the disposition of his forces, recent moves, and options that confronted him. He did not comprehend how the impact of his decisions would affect his band. Decisions made or actions taken that run counter to the internal culture of an organization, may, depending upon their magnitude, seriously decrease value over time (Pohlman, 2000)."

From the Paper
"Goals setting theories argue that organization members set goals and that organizations can influence work behavior by influencing these goals. The major concepts in the theory are intentions, performance standards, goal acceptance, and the effort expended. These concepts are assumed to be the motivation. Individual goal setting should be more effective than group goals because it is the impact of goals on intentions that is important. In goal-setting theory the crucial factor is the goal. The ultimate goal of the Merrymen is to set King Richard free, and to continue to serve the farmers and townspeople through the inconvenience of the rich. Although the incentive or reward may affect goal acceptance and commitment, neither is the critical element. Tests of the theory show that using goals leads to higher performance than situations without goals, and that difficult goals lead to better performance than easy ones. In this case, the Merrymen are faced with a difficult goal because they are acting outside of the law of Prince John. Strategic management research indicates that although participation in goal setting may increase satisfaction, it does not always lead to higher performance. Difficult, accepted, specific goals combined with feedback and rewards for goal attainment should result in highly motivated members. What this means is that Robin Hood, as the leader of the Merrymen, must provide his followers with positive feedback and encouragement."

?Robin Hood?s? Maid Marian, 2004.
This paper discusses the character, Maid Marian, as depicted in the 1938 sound film version of ?Robin Hood?.

Abstract
This paper explains that there have been numerous ?Robin Hood? movies, but the 1938 version created a new standard for the swashbuckling genre against which to judge various versions of Robin Hood legend. The author points out that character of Maid Marian, the love interest of Robin Hood, has undergone many modifications and enhancements over the years, being portrayed either as a meek and timid member of the royal family or as a strong and royal woman. The paper demonstrates that, in 1938 version of the film, Maid Marian was portrayed as strong-willed woman with a regal attitude, responsible for Robin?s rescue at a critical point in the movie.
From the Paper
"This dialogue indicates that Marian was portrayed as a woman with a mind of her own who didn?t want others to make decisions for her. Unlike the 1922 version in which Maid Marian didn?t even know what her role was in the movie; Enid Bennett, who played the part later recalled, in this version, Havilland knew where she stood in the movie and that is what gave her character strength and meaning. This is how one writer presents the view of Bennett on her role in 1922 version of the film: ?Lady Marian Fitzwalter (Enid Bennett) served as Robin Hood's romantic interest and is rescued by Robin Hood in time to end the film in his arms. As Bennett noted years later, she did not have much to do, or know exactly what she was supposed to be doing, but she did enjoy doing it.? "

The Robin Hood Act, 2007.
This paper discusses The Robin Hood Act and the controversy it has engendered.

Abstract
The paper relates how beginning in the 1970s, citizens in poor school districts filed legal challenges to Texas' public education financing system, arguing that relying on property taxes for school funding gave wealthier districts an unfair advantage in educating their children. The Robin Hood Act was created, therefore, to distribute property taxes from wealthy districts to the poor districts. The paper reveals that the Act has succeeded in bringing the property wealth of wealthy districts down but has had less success in bringing the wealth of poor districts up. The paper discusses how the many complaints end in pledges to do away with the system. Nevertheless, political, economic and social forces in Texas make the death of Robin Hood not very feasible, at least in the short-term.
From the Paper
"As a citizen and Texas homeowner, I am against the Robin Hood Act. The Act has resulted in my property taxes increasing without offering my children the benefits of those increases. The increases, as well as part of the base property taxes, are in use outside of my area and are in use in other school districts throughout the State."
"I think the Robin Hood Act is an ineffective way to fund schools because under the plan, local property taxes are the primary basis of funds for the 1,036 Texas school districts with the intention of levying a property tax. In 1999-2000, local taxes made up an additional 50 percent of school district revenues. The significant variation in school districts' taxable property results in a large gap between low-wealth and high-wealth school districts' ability to raise local funds for financing educational costs."

The Eruption of Santorini, 2001.
A look at the connection in the eruption of the Santorini volcano and the decline of the Greek Bronze Age.

Abstract
This paper attempts to relate the decline of the Greek Bronze Age with the eruption of Santorini in the Aegean Sea. The author examines the developments that led to the decline of the Greek Bronze Age and how they coincide with the eruption of Santorini volcano.
From the Paper
'Two of the greatest controversial questions in ancient Greek history are when did the decline of the Greek Bronze Age begin and what caused this dramatic reversal in progress? Dates have varied from as early as 1350 B.C. to as late as 1100 B.C. Causes have range from massive invasions by barbarians to widespread droughts. However, evidence has begun to surface that suggests the possibility that there was a massive series of natural phenomena that affected the whole eastern Mediterranean region between 1600 and 1300 B.C. After examining all of the current evidence, a conclusion can be drawn that a series of earthquakes shook the region during several decades which set off a cataclysmic volcanic eruption on the island of Thera. This explosion can be directly connected with the decline of Bronze Age Greece."

"Little Red Riding Hood.", 2008.
A discussion on the underlying purpose of a story such as "Little Red Riding Hood."

Abstract
The paper states that stories have been part of culture from the very beginning of human development and that over time, fables and fairy tales have continued to be integrated into everyday life. The paper also relates that scholars disagree on the primary reason why these tales have remained so important in modern times. The paper then questions if fables and fairy tales are just a means to provide information or entertainment with no hidden agenda or, is their purpose to encourage societal mores or intended to help individuals deal with their hidden psychological dilemmas? The paper uses the story "Little Red Riding Hood" to demonstrate these different interpretations.
From the Paper
'' Some stories go even further and make Little Red Riding Hood do the victimizing. Roald Dahl's character pulls a gun out and shoots the wolf to replace her silly cloak and hood with a "lovely furry wolfskin coat" (Zipes et. al 359). Philippe Dumas's "Little Navy Blue Riding Hood" includes a very determined and self-confident girl who is jealous of her famous grandmother, the "ex-Little Red Riding Hood." Little Navy Blue Riding Hood frees the wolf in order to revive the old story and become well-known like her grandmother. However, this wolf, the great-great-nephew of Perrault's wolf, avoids "like the plague anything that resembled a riding hood, no matter what color it was, even if it came from Galeries Lafayette, and especially worn by a little girl" (Dumas 19-20). Believing that her grandmother is the wolf, Little Navy Blue takes the confused old lady to the zoo at knifepoint and locks her in the wolf's cage. Little Navy Blue Riding Hood becomes notorious with all the media attention and the outcry against the little girl who had previously seemed to be "so well-behaved and obedient."

"Boyz N the Hood", 2007.
An analysis of the representation of African-American manhood in the film, "Boyz N the Hood"

Abstract
This paper discusses how "Boyz N the Hood" (1991) is a film that attempts to speak truth to power, and counteract some of the negative stereotypes of young black men in Hollywood films. It looks at how, instead of ignoring the plague of violence and hopelessness in the inner cities of America, the film takes these stereotypes on and attempts to render the difficulties and challenges of the African-American experience with dignity and hope.
From the Paper
"The title frame statistic also politicizes the representations of the characters in the film. These characters are not simply individuals enduring their own psychological turmoil rather the struggles the characters face are endemic to a larger social condition in America. It is often considered dismissive to say that someone is merely a statistic. But these young men are potentially statistics, the film suggests, and that is not a reduction of their plight, rather it is a claim for the film's relevance beyond its duration on a screen. The film is a call to action. Whether the characters go to college, care for their children, or end up in the gutter is not merely 'their' business, or an interesting plot twist, their lives and by extension black lives in the hood are something that is vitally important for all Americans, particularly black Americans to care about and change.

Abstract
This paper describes John Singleton's film, "Boyz in the Hood" as one of the most disturbing American films of the last quarter-century. It discusses the plot of the film and the loose sexual mores and gang life of the neighborhood portrayed in the film. The paper then analyzes several social and delinquency theories that can be advanced to explain the actions of the main characters in the film.
From the Paper
"In the end, there is little question that several delinquency and/or social theories can explain why the 'hood is such an awful place for its inhabitants - and such a hard place from which to escape. In this writer's view, the social strain theory precipitates the other two theories insofar as a lack of opportunity and the desperate struggle to survive in harsh conditions inevitably compels people to do whatever they have to do to survive. At the same time, Singleton places a lot of emphasis upon fathers and suggests that Tre learned to stay out of trouble because of his father's stern guidance. In the end, it is hard to conclude that any one of the theories is the sole reason for neighborhoods like those found in South LA; after a careful review, all three have complementary dimensions as well as over-lapping ones. In any event, the film is a troubling look at what can happen when communities collapse as a result of social pathologies."

Tre is the central character, and also important are his two friends, the brothers Ricky and Doughboy. Tre is 10 years old when his mother decides that he needs a man's influence, so she hands him over to her ex-husband, Furious Styles.

Furious does try to be a good father, and he plays ball with the boy, takes him on long walks, talks to him, and offers him lessons in life. The father is somewhat stern, but he is also loving and reasonable."
