From the Paper
"Presentation methods are those in which trainees are passive recipients of information. This information may include facts, information, processes, and problem-solving ideas. The two major presentation methods are lectures and audiovisual techniques. A lecture involves communication through spoken words. Major advantages of the lecture method are that it is inexpensive, doesn't consume very much time, and is effective in large groups of trainees. There are several variations to the lecture method. The standard lecture involves the trainer talking while employees listen. Team teaching involves two or more trainers presenting different topics or different views on the same topic. Guest speakers visit the session for a set time period and conduct the primary training. Panels involve two or more speakers presenting information and asking questions. "

Design for Reuse
Component Based Development
From the Paper
"Components are software modules that facilitates binary reuse, and their primary characteristic is that they can be "plugged in" together to build applications, that is, without the need for recompilation (Frakes, 1995). Component based development uses a data exchange model, tools, structured storage, and an underlying object model to construct applications from pre-existing components.
Some of the reusable components are developed in-house, and others may belong to libraries or toolkit. For an instance, a reusable software components uses interchangeable parts from other industries for software construction like communicating objects is embedding a spreadsheet within a word processor document, and a chart program within the spreadsheet; a single button in a graphical user interface, a small interest calculator, an interface to a database manager."

Abstract
This paper explains that, for almost ninety years, Stella Adler, who was born into one of the most distinguished and celebrated acting families in theater, had a successful career acting, directing and teaching. The author relates that she founded the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting in New York City in 1949 and taught such as famous students as Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Warren Beatty. The paper stated that Stella Adler had the best teaching approach: She was tough but her students did not fear her, they respected her and listened.
From the Paper
"From 1927 through 1931, Adler played over 100 roles in various productions. Her association with the Group Theater began in 1931. This famous organization was formed by Harold Clurman, Lee Strasberg and Cheryl Crawford. Adler won high praise for her performances in "Success Story" by John Howard Lawson, and later in two seminal Clifford Odets plays: "Awake and Sing" and "Paradise Lost". She married Harold Clurman in 1943, having previously married and divorced Horace Eleascheff. Her marriage to Clurman ended in divorce in 1960. She stayed with the Group Theater for a decade and lamented and deplored the fact that there was a dearth of good roles for women. She felt that the theater was geared for men and that the plays were written for men only. However, she credited the company for bringing the best out of her and for revitalizing her life in theater."

Frank Stella, 2002.
A report on the life and work of American artist, Frank Stella.
1,964 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a critical look at the artist Frank Stella. The writer portrays Stella as an important artist, whose work represents a major shift in approach at a time when such a shift was needed. The research paints a picture of Stella against the backdrop in which he lived and worked. The paper continues with descriptions of his work as the artist explored new techniques and shapes in his subjects.
From the Paper
"The point of departure for Stella in 1958 for his new approach to abstraction was the flag paintings of Jasper Johns. Using various devices, Stella emphasized the flatness of the painting pattern, abolishing the three-dimensional image, and he was uncompromising as he refused to permit the introduction of deep recession behind the picture plane. The result was that the figure-ground relationship was almost completely eliminated as the stripes and orthogonals constituting the picture echoed the contours of the format."

Stella DuBois, 2005.
An analysis of Stella DuBois' pragmatism in "A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how an examination of Stella's reactions and decisions at key points in the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" shows her to be a pragmatist who has long ago given up the "beautiful dream" of her sister Blanche. It also examines how neither Stella nor her relationship with Stanley change greatly during the story even though Stella's ties to Stanley and the stability of their tumultuous marriage are confirmed and reinforced.
From the Paper
"Stella's decision to maintain the status quo is reinforced by her reaction to Stanley's cruel birthday gift to Blanche. After Blanche runs to the bedroom vomiting, Stella merely says to him, "You didn't need to do that. ... Why did you do this to her?" (p. 111). As Stanley begins to justify his behavior, Stella's "look goes suddenly inward as if some interior voice had called her name" (p. 111). This "voice" turns out to be her unborn child, as she has entered labor. Just as Williams emphasizes Stella's maternity after Stanley's physical abuse, the baby's impending birth here aborts any chance of change in their marital relationship."

Hog's Back Falls, 2008.
An overview of the geomorphology of Hog's Back Falls.
2,268 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 0 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly details the geomorphology of Hog's Back Falls. To begin with, the paper looks at the modern incarnation of the falls as most local citizens understand it. Going further, the paper subsequently looks at the prehistoric development of the falls' site and the odd creatures that made the location their home eons ago. The stratigraphy of the region is then explored and the paper concludes by pointing out how the features of the Hog's Back Falls site cannot be fully understood until it is placed within a broader geographical matrix that includes a large portion of eastern Ontario. In closing, the Hog's Back Falls is a good example of how the changes wrought by mankind often pale beside the changes wrought by nature.
From the Paper
"In the crucial decades preceding this nation's official founding in 1867, the focus of attention was upon facilitating the commercial and mercantile growth of Upper Canada as much as possible. With this as the driving imperative, canal construction came to be seen as an excellent means of upgrading the province's infrastructure. Lt. Colonel John By took the lead in crafting the new artificial water-way system and the end result was not only a new canal, but also a new dam and a massive waste water weir capable of controlling the excess water of the Rideau River during its most swollen times in the spring ("Hog's Back Falls," para.1-4). Suffice it to say, this is what ordinary citizens of Ottawa think of when asked to describe the Hog's Back Falls."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "The Bitch is Back: Wicked Women in Literature", by feminist writer Sarah Apleton Aguiar. It discusses her position that for a while the bitch was banished from feminist fiction as it became politically incorrect to create evil women in literature. The paper describes the roles of women in literature from as far back as the wicked stepmother in Cinderella, to more modern films and novels.
From the Paper
"It could be argued that she is a new representation of an old, basic type in fairy tales--the stepmother who hates and resents her stepchild. It helps to consider the historical context of the stepmother in fairy tales in order to understand her. Mothers often died in childbirth, which left the home motherless. A new wife, who married to earn a living, agreed to raise the surviving orphans. Sellers (2001) argues that the stepmother is really a victim herself of patriarchy. Be that as it may, the stepmother is self-absorbed and heartless. She interprets everything the stepchild does maliciously, as though the child were out to ruin her. The fairy tale stepmother also wants to be certain that her own child reaps all the material advantages and inherits the father's money. She wants to turn the father against his own child. The twist is that in Ordinary People, Beth's "own" child, Buck, is dead. Both boys were in the sailboat when the storm came up, but Buck "let go." Conrad, on the other hand, hung on and lived. So she hates him for it. Her own child is dead, and she's stuck with the stepchild."

Abstract
This paper briefly provides a review of lower back pain, from a review of the main types of lower back pain to their causes. It explains that this is a very treatable condition and suggests methods for prevention and cure.
From the Paper
"Many adults suffer from lower back pain, and indeed back pain is one of the main reasons for patients seeking treatment from their family doctor: it is estimated that lower back pain costs the US health care system $25 billion annually in diagnosis and treatment (Bratton, 1999). The effective diagnosis and early treatment of lower back pain is therefore desirable (Bratton, 1999)."

Joy Harjo's Poem, "I Give You Back", 2000.
A new criticism look at Joy Harjo?s poem ?I Give You Back? .

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly analyzes the poem ?I Give You Back,? using New Criticism methods, which shows how the poem makes use of the paradox of fear to convey the idea that the narrator is taking back the control over her life from an emotion that has dominated her for too long.
From the Paper
"An underlying paradox is that the narrator uses fear to rationalize her negative experiences in life. She blames fear for having ?raped and sodomized my brothers and sisters? and for stealing ?the food from our plates when we were starving? (Lines 10-12). This paradox can be interpreted as that either her fear of others prevented her from actually stopping them from abusing her relatives, or figuratively that people?s fear of pain or punishment impedes them from stopping the abuse and starvation of their fellow beings. "
