Abstract
An analysis of the Maltese home as a reflection of the image of the people. The author investigates the symbolic meaning of the rooms, how they are built and decorated to explain the Maltese culture.
From the Paper
"Definition of the image and meaning of the house can help explain the differences between cultures: Homes are a reflection of its inhabitants and collectively they can form the image of a people. The Maltese home is the center of life for many a housewife. The concept and application of women?s emancipation have still to make an impact on a large number of the women in Malta, many of who still feel that the main purpose in her life is to provide a good home for the requisite husband and 2.4 children. The Maltese housewife is still, as a rule, the queen of her castle and woe betide anyone who may sully her doorstep!"

African-American Use of Emergency Rooms, 2004.
An investigation of why African-Americans use emergency rooms more than they use the services of general physicians.

Abstract
There are many reasons African-Americans turn to emergency rooms rather than their own primary care physicians, and many ways the United States could turn this health care problem around. This paper examines the age, gender, and income of African-Americans that arrive at the emergency department of the average hospital. It discusses types of insurance, if any, and the reasons why they utilize the E.D., including chronic conditions vs. acute conditions. The paper also looks at how the health system is viewed by African-Americans and what is being done to change and/or correct these conceptions.
From the Paper
"Another major obstacle is poverty. Eliminating poverty in our country would not only result in a better standard of living for all the poor, it would result in better health care. As African Americans move up the income ladder, they tend to rely less on emergency room medicine. They have more preventative medicine choices, and they have insurance of some form to help with costs. Poverty and no insurance are two of the biggest factors in emergency room usage, and eliminating poverty could change the figures dramatically. So could some form of health insurance for all Americans. Education should include an understanding that relying so completely on emergency rooms for all health care is a dangerous practice, and that families should actively attempt to find other health care choices rather than using emergency rooms so completely."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the characters within "A Room with a View" by E.M. Foster and "Jacob's Room" by Virginia Woolf. The characters Lucy and Jacob both represent two different classes of people in their contrast, but invariably present similar instances of independent lifestyles that stray from societal norms.
From the Paper
"In this literary study a character analysis in the novels A Room with A View by E.M. Foster and Jacob's Room by Virginian Woolf will be examined. The two characters Jacob and Lucy will be brought forth to reveal comparing and contrasting elements of class differentiation and their perceptions of life. While Jacob and Lucy both represent drastically different classes of people; they invariably reflect similar characteristics in how they achieve independence in their lives. In the novel Jacob's Room the main character Jacob represents a middle class individual who has a yearning desire to experience life. However, his middle class upbringing reveals the hardships of his life that he will ultimately face, especially due to his inexperience as a youth."

From the Paper
"The modern elementary school environment plays host to a plethora of students with different needs. Elementary resource rooms therefore must also be modified to help a greater diversity of students. Traditionally resources rooms were intended for special education needs. These students will have a variety of needs as, "The effects of physical disabilities may be visible or invisible. They include inability to walk and/or use the arms, hands or fingers, often resulting in the use of aids such as wheelchairs, calipers, crutches or walking sticks. Attendants may be needed for personal care and the student may rely on others for transport, photocopying, study notes and library assistance."(Sydney, npg)."

"To the Halls of the Montezumas", 2005.
Analysis and review of Robert W. Johannsen's book on the Mexican- American war.

Abstract
This paper presents a positive review of Johannsen's book,"To the Halls of the Montezumas," and explains that the focus of the book is on the way the media of that era portrayed the Mexican-American war and is less about the history of the war itself.
From the Paper
"The thesis of the book To the Halls of the Montezumas by Robert W. Johannsen is that the Mexican-American War was America's first foreign war, even though Mexico was not the first foreign power America ever fought. Johannsen says that this war defined America's identity as an international power mainly because of the way it was narrated to the American people through the American press. It was the first war that Americans felt like they were engaged in a moral war against a foreign power, rather than simply fighting for their territorial integrity as a nation and their values of freedom, liberty, and self-determination, as was true of the Revolutionary war."

From the Paper
"More and more women have been making inroads into traditionally male-dominated occupations, and one of these is sports reporting in all its forms--writing, broadcasting, interviewing. The response shows many that professional sports players and coaches have a good deal to learn about equality, but at the same time the intrusion of women into the locker room raises a number of questions about proper conduct on both sides. The experiences of a number of the women in this profession will illustrate the matter.
Mariah Burton Nelson works in this arena, and she has found that women sports writers and sportscasters are often made the brunt of sexual jokes in the locker room and are treated as less welcome than male reporters. She asks why this is so and offers one opinion when she writes that the locker room culture is a..."

Sound Reinforcement, 2004.
An overview of the role of the live sound engineer in implementing sound reinforcement.
1,813 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the term sound reinforcement refers to the strategic use of microphones and loudspeakers to project the sound of a band, theatre production or conference speaker across to an audience. It examines how it is necessary for a sound engineer, working in any area of sound reinforcement - from the front of house engineer in a large concert hall, to the stage manager at a theatre ? to have the confidence and knowledge required to problem solve quickly in the event of equipment failure, and keep the programme on track.
From the Paper
"The term impedance matching is used when concerning the interconnection of loudspeaker drivers and power amplifiers, to achieve maximum power transfer. At this stage in the signal chain, it is very important to appreciate that the load impedance of the speaker (the whole cabinet, not just the driver itself) must match closely the source impedance (the rated output impedance of the power amp). If the source impedance is significantly higher than that of the speaker, the amplifier could overheat, or its automatic protection circuitry could cause it to cut out. Neither of these conclusions would be much good during a live performance."

Abstract
This paper examines the functional, operative and practical aspects of "Stomp" (a physical theatre and musical performance) and "Live Earth Concert" (a series of worldwide concerts held on the same day). It explains and compares different facets of these two performances, including the venue; atmosphere; musical aspects; lighting and sound enforcement. The writer reflects on the overall performances and notes that most people who attended both performances enjoyed "Stomp" (the relatively low budget unique creation) more. The writer concludes that both events were worth the price of the tickets, as "Live Earth Concert" was a great opportunity to see several artists performing on one stage and "Stomp" was a purely entertaining and exclusive show.

From the Paper
"A concert or as some colloquially call it a 'gig' or 'show' is a performance, that has music as the central entertaining premise. The performers and entertainers such as solo artists or bands, aim to generate a vigour, power and energy that in a sentence leave their audiences in rapturous admiration and awe at the vertical depth and wide coverage that they are able to generate in just a short space of time. The musical masterpiece 'Stomp' which is currently being staged at Vaudeville Theatre in London; and the benevolent global 'Live Earth Concert', which was held on the 7th of July 2007 and had Wembley Stadium London as one of its many venues; model two such concert performances."

Developing a Birthing Room at a Hospital, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the increasing preference of women to give birth in birthing rooms. It discusses the benefits of the relaxed and comfortable environment of the birth rooms and how many hospitals are now beginning to build birthing rooms. The paper discusses the necessary amenities that should be available in all birthing rooms for a comfortable, yet safe delivery.
From the Paper
"Recent research has shown that the place of birth has a direct impact on the pace and quality of delivery, and when the woman feels confident and satisfied with the choice that she has made about her place of delivery, then she can be sure that her delivery would be as uncomplicated and natural as she desired it to be. A birthing room in a hospital, with the bare minimum of medical intervention and a homely atmosphere, with provisions for the partner and the family of the woman to take part in the amazing phenomenon of birth would be the ideal option for today's woman having a baby, unless she has had complications during her pregnancy, for which a hospital setting would be a much better option. Having a safe and comfortable and natural delivery is the ideal of every woman on earth, and if a hospital facilitates this, then the woman would be obliged forever to the hospital and the medical team that helped create this setting and put it into action. (Evidence regarding place of birth)"

Image and Sound, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how motion pictures and television are audio-visual mediums and how they engage both our visual and aural senses. It looks at how the meaning and emotion of a piece is commonly thought to come from the image and that the sound at best just duplicates the meanings from the image. It explores how music combines with, adds to and enhances moving image in many ways and how it can heighten and refine emotion as well as meaning.
From the Paper
"The tone of music can be used to create meaning and generate mood in a scene or in a production as a whole. In The Empire Strikes Back the rebels attempt to flee from the empire. During this sequence Darth Vader's and the rebels leitmotif is heard. Vader's motif is played at an increased tempo and higher pitch to normal. The function of this change is to show the imminent danger of the empire and Vader's likely success in capturing the rebels. The rebels leitmotif is played but does not contain the opening and perhaps most identifiable phase. The tone is slightly deeper, the pace slightly slower and is mixed up in and slightly drown out by other sound effects. The function of this use of sound is to put the out come of the situation in doubt and make the rebels attempt at escaping unlikely. When the rebels do escape the distinctive opening to their motif is played at normal pitch and tempo and without the distraction of other sounds. This functions to signal their success but also the finality of the scene. The leitmotifs and the tone of the motifs are used to guide the spectator through narrative change."
