Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in today's society, organizations need to have a plan in place in event of an attack or failure to recover data that is lost, stolen, or destroyed. In this essay, the writer presents a step-by-step plan of how to recover such data and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of any methodologies or technologies designed to protect the data in information systems. The writer concludes that although no plan provides 100% protection, a company has to be ready to protect what it has and react to information system threats as they take place.
From the Paper
" Backup is reacting to what to do to repair the situation after it happened. Processing will continue either at the main data center or at the selected hot site, depending on the outcomes of the assessment of damage to equipment. However, if the damaged area entails a longer time of reconstruction, then the second stage of back up begins. If the database is misplaced, examining the last system checkpoint does not recover it. The system log can tell what modifications have taken placed, but without the original database itself, recovery can be impossible. The organization should backup message queues, online changes, and make new backup copies at regular intervals. The more current the backup copies, the smaller amount of log change records to be processed during recovery, and as a result the time needed for recovery is decreased."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer looks at the matter of restoring the natural balance of the landscape. The writer discusses Robert Elliot's apparent distaste for ecological restoration in close detail throughout the first portion of this paper. This article explores the circumstances in which restoration may be considered benevolent, through careful examination of Elliot's philosophy and that of Murray Krieger. The writer concludes that in the case of restoring the natural balance of the land, one is not attempting to profit from the restoration or create a fake situation, but rather restore the original version to its original grace and glory so it can be better appreciated.
From the Paper
"Robert Elliot in his work "Faking Nature" rejects the idea that restoration ecology is useful in many instances. Elliot asserts that attempting to restore the natural ecology of the land is nothing more than an attempt to forge that which was once natural and beneficial. In this light restoring the natural ecology of the land seems nothing more than an attempt to fake that which is natural, which in and of itself promotes no intrinsic value.
Further Elliot asserts that one can not reproduce the value that original ecosystems had to offer. The field of environmental ethics proposes that the natural value of nature should be preserved rather than the value of nature purely for human purposes including survival or consumption. Under this assumption nature isn't necessarily valued by humans desiring to create artificial landscapes purely for humanistic benefits."

Restoration Vs. Translation of "Beowulf", 2002.
Compares and contrasts the translation of an epic Anglo-Saxon document, "Beowulf" with the digital restoration being done on the epic.

Abstract
The review explores the work of Seamus Heaney (1999) in translating the epic Anglo-Saxon document, "Beowulf." This translation is compared to the digital restoration work being done with the original documents found in the British Library. Both Heaney and the Beowulf restoration group (at the University of Kentucky) are working with identical documents; however, Heamus has translated the text into a more accessible story, and restoration experts such as Keirnan (1984) have worked to preserve the original document for study. This paper evaluates whether Beowulf is a "story" or an artifact of Anglo-Saxon history, and the significance of the difference between translation and restoration.

Recovery from Mental Illness, 2004.
An examination of the psychology behind recovery from a mental illness.
945 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how recovery is a unifying human experience that transcends both illness and disability and how, in regard to mental illness, recovery has not been addressed through research or discussion as extensively as recovery from physical illness or injury. It looks at how recovery involves much more than symptom alleviation and how it is a subjective, unique process of altering and adapting one?s values, attitudes, goals, feelings, and roles in order to live a more satisfying, hopeful, and fulfilled life.
From the Paper
"Deegan (1988) illustrates the parallels in recovery between mental and physical illness through the description of her personal experiences with schizophrenia and a man?s experiences as a quadriplegic. Similar sequences of events were experienced by her and the man, as they both went through phases of denial, anguish, and in time, hope. The author emphasized the fact that recovery is not a sudden conversion experience, and that hope is a turning point at which the willingness to act must be initiated quickly. Little steps must be taken in order to ensure progress on the path to recovery."

From the Paper
"The waning days of the Tokugawa reign was witnessed by the clan's inability to implement reforms needed to face the requirements of the industrial and the overwhelming pressure of Western nations to open up the country to international trade and industry. Aside from the aforementioned problems, the Tokugawa clan was also being challenged by various other clans and a coup was the final straw that broke the Tokugawa's back. "The Satcho-Dohi coalition of the 1860s carried out this supposed feudal coup from below. The coalition was between the four tozama fiefs of Satsuma, Choshu, Tosa and Hizen, the four strongest principalities of the southwest. (The Meiji Restoration, 1999)" Eventually, the last shogun of Japan, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, capitulated in the late 1800s and handed over the rule of the country to a young emperor of the Meiji clan, Mutsuhito. Mutsuhito took over as emperor upon his father's death in 1867 - Emperor Komei left a troubled nation needing reforms to his then 15 year-old son."

Abstract
The ultimate goal of chemical dependency counselors is to help people achieve and maintain abstinence from the use of chemicals for life. Historically the use of Alcoholics Anonymous has been a major tool in achieving the goal of abstinence, and has helped millions of people to stay sober. But this approach has not been successful for everyone who has tried to use the 12 steps of AA to help them achieve and maintain sobriety and for a variety of different reasons some clients reject AA. This paper explores an alternative for those people, 'Rational Recovery'. The paper discusses the theories behind Rational Recovery (RR), the major tools used to maintain sobriety and the way in which groups function and heal those involved.
From the Paper
"Once the chemically dependent person has stopped using, RR has a variety of techniques that will help the person remain drug and alcohol free. One of these is Addictive Voice Recognition Training (AVRT). This tool teaches the chemically dependent person to recognize the voices and messages coming from the individual?s consciousness that are telling them to use chemicals. As Trimpy put it, ?any thinking that supports any use of drugs or alcohol in any amount, in any form ? ever? (Trimpy, 1992). RR has labeled this internal thinking as the BEAST. The BEAST is a way of breaking down the drinking pattern of thinking into the following steps. The first is the recognition of a Boozing opportunity, and circumstances or time when the person is considering the use of alcohol or drugs. This could also be called the person?s triggers for use. This is followed by Enemy voice recognition in which the individual becomes aware of the voice to use. The person is then trained to Accuse the voice of malice, telling their inner voice that they will not succumb to using because they have come to realize that it is not in their self-interest to do so. Self-control and self-worth reminders are then used to remind the person that their lives are much better without chemicals. The last step of BEAST is to Treasure your sobriety which simply means the individual makes an overview and affirmation of their sobriety and life?s pleasures that they are now a part of."

Abstract
The structure of Japanese society has been forcibly changed on different occasions during its history. Two such instances can be found in the Meiji Restoration at the end of the nineteenth century and in the Post-War Occupation period after World War II. This paper examines the ideals and institutions of the Meiji state, established in the latter part of the nineteenth century. It discusses the social, political and economic systems which characterized the Meiji Restoration and how this structure led Japan into World War II.
From the Paper
"The Meiji period was the beginning of the development of economic life in Japan at a much more rapid pace. This was also a period of military build-up, and this build-up has been seen as the major contribution to the structure of the technological foundation for the successful industrialization that followed. The new economic order included the acquisition and dissemination of Western technologies and skills, and this same policy created a demand that was needed to assure the survival and growth of struggling private firms in important industrial fields. The rate of growth for Japan after the Meiji period was considerable even before the boom after World War II. "

Abstract
This paper covers many of the aspects which have had an impact on the recovery of Lake Erie. This assessment includes both previous and current initiatives and the paper 's attempts to relate these initiatives to the lake's overall recovery success.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
U.S.-Canada Air Quality Agreement
The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement
Lake Erie?s Success
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past Lake Erie has been the site of numerous research studies, mainly attributed to its high pollution, and more recently on the restoration of the lake. Lake Erie receives its water from the Detroit River, which is known for its heavy water and then releases the water into the Niagara River (Al-Aasm et al, 1998). Lake Erie is by far the most polluted of the Great Lakes. This can be attributed to a century of abuse, exploitation, and to a lesser degree the physical features of the lake."

Abstract
The Meiji Revolution, which came about at the end of the nineteenth century, toppled the Tokugawa shogunate, "restored" imperial rule and transformed Japan from a feudal into a modern state. This paper examines how the ambiguous constitutional structure, military orientation and nationalist ideology bequeathed by the Meiji Restoration led Japan to military disaster in WWII. It shows how racist Meiji ideology affected the propaganda put out by the Japanese during the war. The paper contains illustrations.
From the Paper
"The Japanese created a copycat theory that meant they adapted to the western industrialization. However, they had a hidden agenda to create a more superior power than the west. All they would do is innovate and mutate the capitalist ideology. While this was happening the Japanese would become more anti west and have more of a feeling of moral superiority. A new world order would show where they belonged in the world and how they would become greater."

Abstract
The paper briefly examines government initiation of the project, then reviews the causes of change in the Everglades National Park since its creation in 1947. The paper lists numerous examples of environmental damage done before returning to an examination of the political and economic forces arrayed both before and against the project. The paper itemizes six individual work projects incorporated into the overall restoration project, including their estimated costs. In conclusion, the paper argues that there is no justification to opposing the project because it merely reverses damage clearly done by man over the last half century.
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that a good deal of the decline and worse are man's fault. A water control systems of canal and levees and even locks prevent water from flowing, as nature had intended, sometimes shutting off a water supply ample enough for a population like the wood stork. Even the rainfall is now sometimes shunted away from the Everglades. And, one must remember that the Everglades national park comprises only about one-fifth of the total Everglades area. Man is also responsible for pollutants, as a result of agricultural chemicals and other chemicals as the result of human expansion into the once-pristine area. High levels of mercury, for example, are now found up and down the so-called food chain, from fish in the marsh through raccoons and alligators. Among the disappearing species, wildlife conservationists point to the Florida panther, a species now so endangered that there may be less than 30 left in the entire state of Florida."

Abstract
This paper examines how during 2003, Toronto?s tourism and hospitality industry was significantly hampered by four major crises: An outbreak of SARS, West Nile Virus, Mad Cow disease and an electrical blackout. It discusses how although every individual within the Greater Toronto area (GTA) was affected in some manner, the tourism industry was the most radically influenced and how the cumulative onslaught of the aforementioned events drastically reduced the number of visitors to the once thriving metropolis and threatened the livelihood of the city. It details the issues encountered by Toronto?s tourism industry during 2003 and the recovery methods that were instituted in order to endorse the city as an attractive tourism destination.
From the Paper
"In order to regain the trust of travellers, positive advertising campaigns were initiated through mass mediums to the general public to highlight the positive elements that Toronto had to offer. The majority of the campaigns launched throughout the city were aimed at promoting Toronto through two key marketing concepts. These included (1) product bundling - offering a complete package to consumers at a reduced rate, and (2) reduced pricing - discounts placed upon specific offerings of the tourism sector. These concepts were based upon a loss-leader marketing strategy, whereby a very low price is charged for a product or service to entice customers into subsequently purchasing higher cost items. Mirvish Productions initiated one of the first examples of product bundling."

Abstract
This research paper drafts a disaster recovery plan outlining several strategies that must be taken into consideration. The paper further takes into consideration the e-commerce as well as the brick and mortar operations.
From the Paper
"When unprepared organizations are hit by disasters, the consequences are not only dire but often prolonged thereby robbing the companies of not only financial stability but also their hard earned established brand name and image. Since RJB compressors have an unwavering reputation for their high quality products and its compressors are known worldwide for their reliability and durability, it has to be prudent in making plans and formulating strategies in order to keep its reputation and established brand name intact. This is because, every firm entering the global market and wanting to stay there for generating handsome profits must not leave room for risks, disasters and threats in all forms. However, that is neither realistic nor humanly possible. Corporate disaster does occur in the form of business threats and risks and for continuing business operations like RJB compressors, looking into the possibilities of an unforeseen disaster demands extremely careful strategic planning."
