From the Paper
"The philosophical question of ?What is religion?? has been answered in countless manners throughout the course of human existence, each striving to place their own beliefs above the last, or the next. But the complexity of religion can best be seen in how each parallels or absorbs part of another. Nowhere can this be better seen than in the organization of the Christian Church, which simply assimilated what it could not destroy. And so, elements of pre-Christian Europe survive even today under a thin guise of holiness. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Drake is best remembered for battling the Spanish and being the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. The author points out that Drake, called El Draque, meaning ?the dragon?, by the Spanish, is best known for his piracy of Spanish settlements and ships and his role in defeating the Spanish Armada. The paper describes Drake's adventure through the Strait of Magellan and into the Pacific Ocean to claim areas of North America, called Nova Albion, for Queen Elizabeth; the area included most of Washington, all of Oregon, and a sliver of California.
From the Paper
"Sir Francis Drake was Vice Admiral of the English fleet fighting the Spanish Armada. During the Battle of Gravelines, on July 29, 1588 the Armada was defeated by an English naval force under the command of Lord Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake off the coast of Gravelines, France. Prior to the battle, Drake is said to have been playing a game of bowls. On being warned of the approach of the Spanish fleet, Drake reportedly remarked that there was plenty of time to finish the game and still beat the Spaniards. The English later defeated the Spanish on August 4 off Dorset with a fleet under the command of Lord Howard of Effingham and Sir Francis Drake. The final battle between the English and the Spanish was off the coast of Flanders and resulted in Spanish retreat."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about the media equation theory and its applications. The author of this paper uses the movie "The Truman Show" to develop an understanding for the reader of what the Media Equation Theory is and how it can be applied to media examples such as the movie.
From the Paper
"The technological explosion of the last three decades has taken us to places we never dreamed before were possible. With each passing year, the technology becomes more linked to human thought and emotions than ever before. Today, there are studies being conducted worldwide to understand the phenomena of people treating their media tools in the same manner that their human interactions are treated. For several years, the habits and protocol of people who work with these questions have been narrowly defined by the rigid demands of research protocol. However, recently a movie was put on the market that studied the very human and technology theory of media equation. This movie underscores the theory and the theory?s application to real life. It proves the theory because the human viewers relate to Truman as if his life was real and Truman believes that he is living in the real world due to technological interferences."

Abstract
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased rapidly over the past years, especially after the promotion of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. The aim of this paper is to examine whether there is a positive relationship between FDI and the economic growth in the Czech Republic, with special emphasis on technology and productivity spillovers. It focuses especially on two hypotheses, in the form of a case study. The first hypothesis is that technological and productivity spillover from FDI can lead to an increase in economic growth in the Czech Republic. The second hypothesis is that the Czech government can be an extra incentive for economic growth. Formulas show different solutions to different questions in economic growth. The paper discusses the Keynes' GDP model, the purchasing power parity (PPP), as well as Solow's total factor productivity (TFP) and multi factor productivity (MFP) and Cob-Douglas elastic growth equation, that includes technology development into the equation.

"Multinational companies (MNCs) find it profitable to invest abroad because they own specific assets, one of which is the multinational's access to better production technology. (Caves, 1996) The role of transaction costs in the development of MNCs is seen as very important by McManus. Transaction costs can arise when transferring goods and or services, which can be a lot of money that is not necessary. When a MNC invests in a foreign market it overcomes those costs. (McManus1987) The relation between income inequality in Local Domestic Companies (LDCs) and FDIs is seen as a generally positive by Tsai. (Tsai 1995)"

Dark Energy, 2003.
An overview of dark energy, the equation of state, and theories of universe expansion.
1,153 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 39.95

Abstract
This paper describes dark energy, or anti-gravity, and debates theories of universe expansion, touching on Einstein's theory of relativity and cosmological constant. It also talks about the equation of state of the universe and its impact on universe expansion or contraction. It looks at how there are many theories about dark energy from the quintessence theory and the topological defect theory to the cosmological constant theory. It explains that, by analyzing the equation of state of this energy and evaluating current theories, scientists can construe a plausible theory for the fate of the universe.
From the Paper
"Physicists started negotiating and theorizing about the possibility of a dark energy around the turn of the century. One generally un-disproved theory from that time is that which relates the equation of state to the ?cosmological constant?. The cosmological constant (often called lambda) was proposed by Einstein in 1917 to make the universe unchanging in his equations (5). He was generally unsure of this idea, and rejected this theory shortly after it was determined that the universe is perpetually growing. However, his idea of a cosmological constant is currently applied to the universe in a slightly different way, setting the equation of state constant (5)(4). The current theories of dark energy date back to 1998 when supernovae were discovered to be dimmer than expected."

Abstract
This study examines the validity of the ACSM prediction equation for estimating oxygen consumption during submaximal cycling in aerobically trained males. The alternate hypothesis of this study is that the estimated vs. actual VO2 during submaximal cycle ergometry would be similar from 50-200 W. A secondary focus analyzes and compares the accuracy of the equation between two distinct groups of subjects (trained male cyclists vs. aerobically-trained male non-cyclists).

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The results of this study suggest that the ACSM cycle ergometry prediction equation is most accurate at moderate workloads (~100-150 W). Furthermore, training status has no effect on the predictive value of the equation. Further studies on the effects of training habitus should be fashioned to include a larger sample with greater distinction in training volume, i.e. cycle ~200 miles/week vs. sedentary. Based on the current sample size, subtle differences are very difficult to observe. However, this study provides a strong basis for the direction of future research in this area."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about the media equation theory and its applications. The author of this paper uses the movie "The Truman Show" to develop an understanding for the reader of what the media equation theory is and how it can be applied to media examples such as the movie. The paper includes a comprehensive bibliography.
From the Paper
"Through the use of media manipulation we have perpetuated the media equation theory. As technology continues to advance we find our media tools taking on more humanistic type qualities. Studies are showing that people around the world are assigning human like emotions to the interaction they receive through media tools today. As we move further into the future we will most likely continue to ?humanize? computers? and other media methods of communication. The media equation theory seems to be evolving as the actual behavior of humans evolves. The theory is a sound theory though rather curious as to what the future will hold."

U.S. Bond Market Training Document Bonds tend to be one of the most stable investments in an unstable economy. In fact the trends of an economy can be determined by watching the sales of bonds. As bonds sales increase then it is probable that something might be going on to increase the instability of that economy and therefore make investors conservative in their investment practices. This is also true when the sales of bonds go down. Often this is a sign that things are going well and even though stocks are more fragile and contain higher risk factors that these factors have been forgone, to some degree, for a short period of time. Often this is all it takes for investors to gain short returns on stocks in which they might normally not have invested.

Abstract
Various governments and scientific institutions for over forty years have funded the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI). Continued public funding is currently under debate. This paper outlines the theoretical paradigm of SETI and current SETI research. It concludes by assessing the current state of the field and concludes that, while there is no evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence (ETI), there is also no evidence against it. Therefore, it concludes, SETI research is an incredibly important and legitimate field of scientific inquiry that must be funded and pursued.

Abstract
This paper looks at the on-going violence in the Middle East and asks whether peace can ever be achieved with Ariel Sharon as Prime Minister. The author of the paper suggests that the present policies of Israel, under the leadership of Sharon, hinder any progress that might be made towards peace and, in fact, encourage the Intifada.
From the Paper
"Meanwhile, terrible, bloody violence has been part of life for the Palestinians and Israelis since shortly after the creation of the State of Israel by the United Nations, in 1948. In recent weeks and months, notwithstanding the rhetoric of ?peace? issued on both sides, has not shown any signs of subsiding. In fact, according to U.S. News & World Report (Derfner, 2004), since April, 2004, when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and U.S. President George Bush jointly praised the proposed Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, chaos and violence have been the rule of thumb, not peace."

Abstract
The author states that 50 per cent of the mental ill population has a substance abuse problem. He continues that the families of the mentally ill and their health professionals often are not aware of the additional substance abuse problem. The paper concludes that families cannot stop this behavior, but they can help minimize it by avoiding cover-ups and denial.

From the Paper
"Almost every aspect of care for the person with mental illness is complicated by substance abuse. To start with, these individuals are, by no doubt, very problematical to engage in treatment. Diagnosis becomes prolonged and difficult because unraveling the interacting effects of substance abuse and the mental illness are time consuming. Adding to this, cases of such individuals are found to be having difficulty in being accommodated at home, nor are tolerated in community residences of rehabilitation programs. They lose their support systems soon and commonly undergo hospitalizations due to frequent relapses."

Abstract
There is little doubt that technology is transforming manufacturing. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) has arguably benefited greatly from the advent of the computer age and, in fact, modern expressions of the ideas of Philip Crosbie and W. Edwards Deming certainly would not be as robust as they are without the technological advances, both in process and in the information-technologies supporting manufacturing processes. In particular, enterprise resource planning has given the entire field a boost. This paper discusses the effect ERP has on the relation between manufacturers and suppliers.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"ERP systems are the linchpin on which forward-looking manufacturers are hanging their quest for market share. In today's technology, three years is a relatively long time. Still, in 2001, there was "some talk of virtual enterprises in which supplier's and customer's ERP systems are tied to companies through the Internet to coordinate the supply chain" (Manetti, 2001) Other experts thought there would be, instead, a sort of "plug and play" (Manetti, 2001) modular approach, which could be limited to suppliers deemed worthy of 'playing.' Most experts seemed to agree, however, that flexibility would be key. "
