Abstract
This paper explains that that Sir Patrick Geddes was one of the founders of town planning as a profession. The author points out that Geddes was the first in Britain to use "landscape architect" as a professional title. The paper relates that he derived his ideas from a study of evolution under T.H. Huxley and, in turn, Geddes'greatest influence was through his student Lewis Mumford.
From the Paper
"Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) was a Scottish biologist and town planner. He made use of the theory of evolution, which he studied with T.H. Huxley, using it as a basis for his ethics, history, and town planning. For instance, he created "a botanical garden for the University of Dundee which aimed to show the relationships between groups of plants and also their historical significance" (Turner para. 1). He carried this into his work in different ways, producing the key book Cities in Evolution in 1915. Sir Patrick Geddes was one of the founders of town planning as a profession and was the first in Britain to use "landscape architect" as a professional title (Turner para. 1)."

Chiefly, this paper focuses upon Geddes' contribution to the 'garden city' concept towards urban planning as that movement gained strength throughout the twentieth century.

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends that the career of a financial planner, while very rewarding, is not without its challenges. This paper details the responsibilities and requirements needed to become a financial planner. This paper distinguishes between the position of financial planner and that of the certified financial planner, which is actually a designation obtained by a financial planner. There are currently no educational or experience prerequisites to become a financial planner, other than the requirement in most firms that the applicant pass several licensing examinations, which are detailed in this paper. This paper discusses the areas in which a financial planner typically operates in, including: Investment planning, estate planning, retirement planning and business succession planning. While describing the ins and outs in the financial planning field, the writer contends that this career is primarily a sales position. The writer also delves into the pay-scale of this particular profession, which varies by firm and level of experience. Those with more experience and with an inventory of clients can demand up to six-figure salaries.
From the Paper
"Another group of firms includes brokerage firms, also called wire houses, that may offer some or all of these services, but their primary aim is investment management. These companies include Merrill Lynch, Saloman Smith Barney, Goldman Sachs. They may call their personnel Financial Planners, but they tend to be focused on gathering money from clients to invest through the firm. Some of these firms may offer some of the specialized planning services for their high-dollar clients. The most important thing for someone who is considering this profession is that it is primarily a sales position, particularly in the beginning of the planner's career."

From the Paper

Shortly before he reached his sixteenth year, Patrick was captured by an Irish raiding party led by the powerful Chieftain Milchu of County Antrim "...The Man and His Life" ). This is when Patrick learned the native language and was introduced to the pagan and Druid practices that he would one-day drive out of the country. Although he became familiar with the language and rituals of the Irish, Patrick longed for his homeland."

Abstract
This paper addresses conflicts of interests facing professionals in financial planning in Canada. The paper points out that the Financial Planner Standards Council (FPSC) was put together in 1996 in order to better regulate the rapidly expanding industry and to reduce or eliminate the potential for abuses in the industry - the most common abuses being the potential for conflicts of interest for the financial planner. The paper delineates 3 types: financial, structural and personal. The paper concludes with the suggestion that one of the best ways to protect the interests of financial planners is to become certified through the FPSC.
Outline:
Introduction
Conflicts of Interest
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another type of conflict may develop when the financial planner actually holds some type of formal or informal position of influence over that of the client. These are termed structural conflicts and while not very common are certainly difficult to regulate or prevent (List). Many of these types of conflicts of interest are prevented by the standards to which all Canadian financial planners must adhere to in order to remain certified financial planners through the Financial Planners Standards Council in accordance with its code of ethics."

?Voss? by Patrick White, 2002.
A study of the character, Johann Ulrich Voss in Patrick White's novel, "Voss".

Abstract
The paper explores the character Voss in Patrick White's novel of the same name about a German explorer intent on crossing Australia. The paper discusses the personality of Voss and his relationships with the people he comes into contact with. The paper also shows how the main characters in ?The Dead? by James Joyce, ?The Prophet?s Hair? by Salman Rushdie, and Voss by Patrick White are alike and how they differ, and also gives a brief description of each storyline.
From the Paper
"The unforgiving outback of Australia in Voss by Patrick White would seem to be worlds away in tone and distance from Joyce?s Ireland. Yet Gabriel and the title character both share the traits of an uncompromising attitude towards life, a belief in their own rightness of outlook and attitude. Gabriel?s is far more fragile than that of the sense of self of Voss. Gabriel doubts himself at the slightest question, a cutting remark from a girl or when learning another man once loved his wife. Voss only becomes shaken in confrontation with the elements. Still, destabilizing masculine confidence is at the heart of both narratives."

690 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 23.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, rather than trying to refute the power of science, which is something that might well be impossible to do given the effectiveness of science, Patrick Glynn in "God: The Evidence" attempts to use the trappings of science and even some of the principles of scientific inquiry to argue that there is proof of the Judeo-Christian God's existence. The author points out that Glynn's argument for the existence of God is based on the anthropic principle, which is the idea that the universe appears to have been constructed in such a way that its design is particularly tailored to support intelligent life.
From the Paper
"Patrick Glynn in "God: The Evidence" argues that the anthropic principle fails to give us any sense of what we might call, with no inclination toward the blasphemous, as the personhood or particularity of God nor allow us to have any sense of what ..."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Patrick Henry, a revolutionist whose hatred of centralized government and a passion for freedom were some of the most vital contributions to the revolution and the subsequent formation of a national government. This paper discusses how Henry influences today?s radical, federal-building-bombing, gun-toting, survivalist, home-schooling militia groups.
From the Paper
?In this age of revisionist history, the time has come to talk of many things that only a few years ago may have been overlooked. There exists today a certain openness to the possibility that not every one of the men who founded our nation was a saint. That, in many cases, if they were to be magically transplanted to the present, in addition to being a little astonished at the flying machines, they might find themselves entirely at odds with the very government they helped to create and the society that has built itself around that government.?

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes Patrick White's 'A Fringe of Leaves' in respect to Rene Girard's philosophy claiming that human desire is not essentialized but rather mimetic. Girard explains that mimetic desire necessarily involves a model and a disciple who become rivals desiring the same things. This philosophy helps the reader understand Ellen Roxburgh's journey to self-discovery. It contains excerpts from the book and their explanations.
From the Paper
"Rene Girard's philosophy regarding mimetic desire, the reciprocity of violence and the monstrous double can be applied to Patrick White's novel A Fringe of Leaves. Indeed, his ideas give us a clearer understanding of the journey undertaken by Ellen Roxburgh - a journey both physical and spiritual, between two alternate cultures and ultimately, between two alternate selves."
