Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that many people write all day and never consider the physics behind the act of placing words on paper. However, there is a whole world of how and why these sticks of wood and lead leave various types of marks on a formerly clean white page. The writer discusses that the structure, force, friction and angle of each pencil constructs the reasons why it writes the way it does. The writer maintains that the main component of why the pencil leaves marks is the energy behind it and energy which comes directly from the writer using that pencil. People also have their ways of holding their pencils, changing the angles and creating different styles of friction between the pencil and the paper. This leads to the conclusion that the individual carries much more responsibility in the act of writing than one would think.
From the Paper
"The pencil represents the concept of a stationary mass until it is picked up and used by the writer. A normal pencil varies in length and diameter, but is mainly constructed using wood casings to hold a lead core which leaves marks on the paper being written on. Most lengths begin at around six inches, but can vary based on where and why the pencil was made. This length also shortens as the writer continuously sharpens the pencil and eats away at the wood casing in order to extract a sharper piece of lead core to write with. The diameter of the pencil varies, the general bulk of the wood casing is much larger and wider than the fine pencil tip. Most pencil's diameters are measured in millimeters and average to around 0.05 mm to 0.07 mm. However, the standard yellow pencil is 0.05mm."

Abstract
This paper deals with examination of the four types of unemployment - frictional, structural, cyclical, and seasonal. It also examines the issues of full employment and natural rate of employment. This is then followed by an explanation of the causes and effects of demand-pull inflation.
From the Paper
"Unemployment rate is one of the indicators of the labour market and economic condition of a country. According to McTaggart et al, one is considered unemployed if they are job losers, job leavers, or labour force entrants and re-entrants (1999: 31.7). There are four types of unemployment, including frictional, structural, cyclical, as well as seasonal. Two of the many factors that lead to unemployment include the processes of job matching (a two-sided process of linking the right worker with the right job) and job rationing (the practice of paying employed people a wage that creates an excess supply of labour and a shortage of jobs ) (McTaggart et al, 1999: 31.10). Employers take time for their search process because this process is influenced by employment protection laws, which induce employers to more carefully consider any hire."

Real-Time Client/Server Push Strategies, 2002.

Abstract
To understand the strategies inherent in "Push" technology, it is essential to comprehend fully what constitutes Push technology. Most observers and analysts see the technology as the logical extension of the interactivity of the Web as oppose to the passivity of TV and other forms of mass media (Hoffman & Novak, 1995,1996; 1997; Paone, 1997; Stone, 1997; Wilder & Hibbard, 1997). This push model was a paradigm shift attributed to the 1995-1996 era when TV and Radio, with their one-way message stream to consumers was replaced with techniques of information delivery to a many-to-many interchange between and among firms and consumers.
From the Paper
"The simplest way to understand client/server protocols and strategies is to recognize it for what it is; specifically, the logical extension of modular programming, which, it will be recalled, operates on the primary assumption that a large piece of software can be separated into its constituent parts, or "modules." Modular programming allows for easier and faster development and more efficient maintenance. Client/server computing (CSC) proceeds to the next logical development with the realization that all modules do not have to function in the same memory space. This becomes a bi-directional upstream/downstream relationship with the "client" becoming the part that calls for the service, and the unit that delivers the service or need called the "server." "

From the Paper
"Push was the first novel written by Sapphire, a performance poet who also worked as an adult educator in Harlem. Sapphire brings an array of personal and professional experiences to the painful and poignant story of a 16-year old illiterate, abused, unloved young woman named Claireece APrecious@ Jones. The plot centers largely on how Precious, with the considerable help and support of an adult education teacher, manages to overcome the cycle of abuse she has lived in all her life. The story is told in the first person, from Precious= point of view, in her semi-literate, raw and graphic language. However, conversations and comments from other people including educators and social workers bring other perspectives to the narrative. This, in turn, makes parts of the novel read like a sociological tract taking aim at such issues as welfare reform and workfare, the..."

From the Paper
"Starting a small business can be a daunting proposition for many individuals. Those who have worked for other organizations may have a misguided sense of what it takes to succeed in business (having been insulated from all of the decisions which affect a business) while those who are just entering the business world may lack the general business knowledge which can contribute to success. Despite these risks, the prospect of owning one's own business and being one's own boss has a strong allure for many individuals. This research examines the issues associated with starting a small business and the factors which may contribute to or hinder a new enterprise's success.
The business being considered is a push-cart vending service featuring hot dogs to be sold outside. This business was chosen because of the low start-up costs (the cart), the low labor ..."

Pushed Too Far, 2002.
An analysis of the theme of pride in the play "Medea".

Abstract
In this paper, the issue of pride in the play "Medea" is discussed. This theory of pride is the reason Medea kills her children is then applied to the Lemak murder trial and Keyser Soze in "The Usual Suspects".
From the Paper
"The phenomenon of parents killing their children is an old concept. No matter how far back in time this phenomenon occurred, it was at least known of at the time of Euripides when he wrote, Medea. In this play, a woman, Medea, kills her children as a way to get back at her cheating husband, Jason. There are many factors involved in her decision to do this act of unspeakable brutality, and her own sense of pride is high on this list. In fact, pride seems to be the primary reason. This sense of over-pride that pushes one too far in their actions can, and for this paper, will be called the Medea Complex. This complex is alive and well in society, surfacing most notably in the case of Marilyn Lemak, who killed her three young children after her husband had pushed her too far in her eyes. The Medea Complex is at work in this real-life case, but is also shown in the movie The Usual Suspects."

From the Paper
"Certain push-pull factors affected the Joad family as depicted in the novel by John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath. Such factors either push people from one are to another or pull them with promises of change and betterment. Both factors operate in the story of the Joads, for they are pushed off their land in the Dust Bowl and are pulled to a new life in California. In both cases, they are given little choice in what happens to them. These people have hopes and dreams in their original home and find these dashed by the drought and by the Depression affecting the nation. They develop new hopes and dreams on their journey to California, only to find these dashed as well because the state of California is overloaded and does not want to support any more people fleeing the Dust Bowl. The one thing that keeps the family going is a certain internal ..."

Chinese Migration to the United States, 2006.
This paper examines the Chinese migration to the U.S. using the push-pull theory, as it relates to the topic of immigration.

Abstract
The writer of this paper attempts to justify why many Chinese citizens chose to immigrate to America as opposed to other nations, such as England or Germany. This paper utilizes the push-pull theory to provide insights into the Chinese migration to the U.S. The pull-factor represents the attraction to a receiving country, often a major industrialized nation of the first world, by some perceived offering or opportunity. The push-factor entails impelling reasons such as low living standards, lack of economic opportunities, political repression or war, which made the people choose to leave their country of origin. This paper examines the various reasons Chinese citizens chose to leave their country, including China's feudal society that was controlled through traditional roles and responsibilities that were based on age, sex, birth order and social class. Chinese migration to the U.S. started during the 1840s. This paper explains how the American gold rush of the 1850s served as the pull factor, while the economically depressed area of south China served as the push. This paper examines the difficulties the immigrants faced in America, including the inherent cultural differences that led to conflicts between the new immigrants and the Americans. The writer also discusses the various reasons many Chinese immigrated to Hawaii and the Pacific West Coast, in which Chinese immigrants made up a large portion of the labor force.

From the Paper
"The Hawaiian government felt it was right to use the workers in the fields but one the contracts were up they did everything in power to keep the Chinese from becoming g full fledged members of the island. This included bringing Japanese to substitute for Chinese as well as using Filipinos for the same purpose. In 1903, Hawaii literally created a law that stipulated that only United States citizens or anyone who was eligible to become a citizen which meant non Asians could become employed in the Hawaiian territory. Metropolitan areas became the sanctuaries for the masses of Chinese immigrants. In San Francisco for example, the notion of a 'Chinatown' implied that Chinese in America were in charge of a world within a world."

Abstract
The following paper discusses both sides of both issues of the Maynard vs. Wooley case. In 1969, the New Hampshire legislature approved a law that obligated most non-commercial motor vehicle license plates to display the state motto ?Live free or die.? This act of the state was intended to promote appreciation of state individualism, history, and pride, and on a more practical level to distinguish passenger New Hampshire license plates from others. George and Maxine Maynard, two devoted Jehovah?s Witnesses residing in New Hampshire, however, were offended by the statement that conflicted with their religious and moral beliefs. Finding the statement objectionable, the couple covered then later cut out the words from the plate, believing that displaying them would be equal to an affirmation and open endorsement of the statement. Their refusal to carry the motto on their plate violated New Hampshire statutes RSA 262:27-c and RSA 263:1 that required the display of the motto on all non-commercial plates and outlawing any deliberate obscuration of or damage done to the motto. The Maynards objected to the fines and charges against him, and the case went to the New Hampshire state court, where the judge ruled in their favor. The interests of the people were put at risk for the pursuit of a state interest that was relatively quite insignificant and could be achieved in less drastic means. The author discusses the Supreme Court?s final ruling that chose to place priority on personal freedoms and rights.
From the Paper
?A great deal of the case focused on the state?s violation of the First Amendment, which protects the Maynards? freedom of religion and speech, and of the Fourteenth Amendment, which provides that the citizens? rights cannot be infringed on by the state. The Maynards believed, and later the greater part of the Court agreed in Justice Burger?s opinion, that the N.H. statute R.S.A 262:27-c itself was unconstitutional because it ?forces an individual, as part of his daily life ? constantly while his automobile is in public view ? to be an instrument for fostering public adherence to an ideological point of view he finds unacceptable. In doing so, the State ?invades the sphere of intellect and spirit which it is the purpose of the First Amendment to our Constitution to reserve from all official control.?

Abstract
The paper explores the response of Hong Kong business networks to China's effort to push Article 23, among other changes affecting human rights, in Hong Kong. The paper includes thematic sections on the separate Hong Kong identity that prevails. The paper discusses forming new networks across the world, whose unitary feature can be anti-Communist sentiment, or general mistrust of Beijing.
From the Paper
"This paper tells of a perhaps little recognized role that is played by Hong Kong's business networks, in their usual family connections, across two or more countries. Manuel Castells has referred to the traditional Chinese business organization of family firms or jiazuqiye and other in-group networks that are cross-sectoral (jiutanqiye) that may be controlled by one family. (2004:193) This paper addresses the role of Hong Kong's business networks, mentioned as an unitary force, as they can be little recognized contributors to the human rights movement in Hong Kong, and all matters of law to affect Hong Kong's future."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life, writings and music of William Byrd. The paper focuses on how he was pushed into music during Queen Elizabeth's kingdom when there was oppression from the parliament to follow the rules for the new Catholic Church. The paper discusses the way in which Byrd was one of the victims of this dramatic change.
From the Paper
"William Byrd Trough Times. William Byrd writings have been much enlarged in recent times; he holds a place apart in the American letters. Just a few people started to feel curious about his work after a century of his death. Byrd's music is basically all about inspirited by sonnets, made all of it by keyboards on a big inspiration of the Church during 1558-1603; he was into the developing of the protestant movement of the Church. Most of his work started to take a big place in the American literature when they first were published in 1841 and again 1866. The recognition of his writing didn't arrive right away, "because they were published in Virginia, Petesburg and Richmond respectively and had only local circulation". (Holst Imogen, 1972)"
