From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York City in 1911, as well as the legislative and cultural impact of the fire. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical and cultural context in which the fire took place and the facts of the incident and then to discuss the fire's influence on American attitudes toward industrial and trade-union activity as well as on changes in the law affecting employer behavior and employee safety.
The nascent American trade-union movement in the waning years of the Progressive Era and the significant gap between rich and poor in that period loom in the background of the Triangle fire. Even though much of the power behind the extraordinary growth in material wealth in the U.S. was concentrated in the industrial east and in pockets of prosperity in the west, the.."

Abstract
This paper reviews Frank Pacetta's book "Don't Fire Them, Fire Them Up," with an emphasis on the leadership and management principles that are presented. The review describes how Pacetta would "fire up" his employees and create a thriving and healthy organization. The paper reviews Pacetta's work positively, describing it to be both helpful and inspiring.
From the Paper
"The leadership philosophies Mr. Pacetta writes about throughout his book are principles that most leaders learn during points in their careers. He even points out several of these common principles in the Introduction of his book. These principles include building trust, creating loyalty, and generating enthusiasm, excitement, and teamwork (Pacetta 14). Along with these, he also has a crowd of other ideas that all combine to create a vibrant leader who takes pleasure in leading. That is possibly one of Pacetta's truest lessons he teaches in this book. Leaders should enjoy the tests of leading, both the good and the bad. The author is not afraid to talk about his disappointments in Cleveland along with his accomplishments, because he considers risk taking an integral part of good management. He also is an admirer of mentors, aware that few people can climb the corporate ladder without help along the way. He writes, "Mentors are absolutely essential. Find one. Find a dozen. Use them as role models and sounding boards. No matter how talented you are, it is essential to have backup, support, and a second opinion" (Pacetta 42). Pacetta can ask for help and advice, and so should any great leader."

Abstract
In this article, the writer identifies leadership principles and describes their applicability in either a military and non-military situation. The writer compares the principles of management and leadership exhibited by Mr. Pacetta with those principles of leadership found in or demonstrated in their work environment. The writer claims that Pacetta's book is a glimpse into the successful turnaround of a struggling Xerox sales office in Cleveland Ohio in the 1990s. Further, the writer discusses how the author uses several basic principles of management and leadership along with his own unique additions to "fire up" his employees and create a successful organization.
From the Paper
"Leadership is about winning, but it is also about using common sense to win, and Pacetta offers many bulleted checklists and questions that give managers quick, timely advice. He even offers a concise explanation of every chapter, complete with bullets, at the back of the book for someone who needs quick advice and does not have time to sit down the entire book at once. As the reader moves through the book, they begin to have a greater understanding of Pacetta's methods, why they worked, and how to apply them to their own business (or even personal) situations. The book reads somewhat like a sports team's "rah-rah" message before they head out to the playing field, and partly like a military manual. Pacetta uses this voice effectively to appeal to a wide audience of managers who tend to be male and tend to relate to these types of messages because they are familiar with them at home and in the workplace."

Bermuda Triangle, 2005.
A discussion on whether the Bermuda Triangle can be considered a 'triangle of death' or a gateway to new life.

Abstract
This paper aims to prove that the disappearance of all ships and planes over the Bermuda Triangle immediately suggests the presence of paranormal activities. Thus, it is impossible for anything, or anybody, that has ever crossed the Triangle to disappear without leaving any trace behind without there being some paranormal dimension to the question. After convincing the non-scientist reader that the activities that have occurred within the Triangle are paranormal, it seeks to convince them of scientific evidence that argues the Triangle to be a gateway to a different world.
From the Paper
"Since the disappearance of Flight 19, more than 100 ships and planes crossing the Bermuda Triangle, an area of sea close to the Bermuda Islands in the Pacific, have met with a similar fate, without a single body or a piece of wreckage ever being found (Berlitz 1). In 26 years, 1000 people crossed the Triangle and all vanished (Berlitz 1). As a result, very thorough studies and researches have been carried out into the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, in the hope of finding a scientific answer to the disappearances of all those who have ever crossed the Bermuda Triangle."

The Pascal's Triangle, 2004.
This paper discusses the life of Blaise Pascal and Pascal's Triangle.
1,210 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the mathematical formula known as "Pascal's Triangle" was simultaneously discovered centuries before Pascal by the Chinese and the Persians; it was even mentioned by Omar Khayyam centuries before Pascal. Pascal, however, one of the world's most famous mathematicians, was the first "modern" mathematician to realize the true potential of the formula and apply it. The author points out that Pascal's Triangle contributed to the understanding of probabilities, which led to the development of "average gain" or "probable gain" formulas that are still used extensively in business and industry. The paper relates that there is one problem with Pascal's formula: as the numbers increase, the triangle takes much longer to solve, and the formula becomes ungainly, but mathematicians have learned to cope with the formula and have created alternates that let them work with the numbers more effectively. Formula included.
From the Paper
"The mathematical formula known as "Pascal's Triangle" has long been attributed to the great mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal, who lived in France during the 17th century. Pascal only lived to be thirty-nine years old, but during his lifetime, he made significant achievements in mathematics and philosophy, and may be most well known for the mathematical formula of Pascal's Triangle, which he did not invent, but has long received credit for inventing. Pascal was a bright child, who created the first known type of automatic calculator at the age of nineteen, and invented the modern-day barometer before he turned thirty-one."

The Devil's Triangle, 2004.
A look at the mystery surrounding the Devil's Triangle, a triangular area of ocean located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of Florida.
1,215 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is about the Devil's Triangle, a mysterious triangle of ocean associated with the disappearances of many ships, planes, and small boats. The paper describes records showing that over 1,000 vessels have inexplicably been lost in this area of ocean and highlights some of the more recent ships and planes that have disappeared there. The paper also looks at the the explanation given by scientists for these disappearances and points out that none of these explanations fully accounts for all the losses.
From the Paper
"Some scientists believe that violent, unexpected storms or downward air currents destroyed the ships and planes. Swift ocean currents may then have swept the wreckage far from where the craft disappeared. Hurricanes, extreme storms, and violent seas are considered the main killers in this area of the world, but it remains unexplained how over the past 100 years, more than 1000 ships have vanished without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle. Each incident occurred without any warnings, distress calls, or even leaving signs of ship wreckage. Berlitz (1974) has reported that since 1945, over 100 ships and aircraft all carrying over 1,000 people have mysteriously disappeared while traveling within the area of the Triangle. His writings include reports of strangely spinning compasses and unexplained electrical failures aboard ships and planes crossing the triangle. Those who have traveled through this part of the Atlantic have noted great waterspouts and baffling stretches of ?white water?. This activity can be documented as far back as Christopher Columbus in the late 16th century."

The Rhetorical Triangle, 2008.
This paper explains the application of the rhetorical triangle in the writing of argumentative essays.
840 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the function and significance of the rhetorical triangle's three elements: ethos, logos and pathos. The paper also shows how a well-rounded argument is not possible unless each of these components is in place. Moreover, the paper emphasizes how if a writer is not mindful of the rhetorical triangle, his or her efforts to influence others is usually doomed to failure.
From the Paper
"The Rhetorical Triangle or Aristotelian Triad is often misunderstood by students for no other reason than they are not used to applying it when writing argumentative essays. Be that as it may, it is important to understand how to use the Rhetorical Triangle and each of its component parts for no other reason than that, if you cannot, someone who is arguing against you might be able to do so - and that could lead to their ideas, and not yours, gaining pre-eminence. To start with, the Rhetorical Triangle has three parts - the ethos, the logos, and the pathos. The first element is basically how the writer presents him or herself: does he or she engage in "cheapshots?" Is the writer well-informed and balanced in his/her assessment of the topic? Is there an effort to establish a "common ground" with the reader? "

The Bermuda Triangle, 2002.
A discussion surrounding the mystery of the feared Bermuda Triangle.

Abstract
This paper presents a geographical explanation of the Bermuda Triangle. It then examines the history of this mystery and mentions several disasters or unexplained events that have happened in the skies and waters of this area. The paper also discusses the literature available on these mysteries and the form of documentation.
From the Paper
"The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the Caribbean believed to contain some mystery which causes ships and planes to disappear at a higher rate than in other regions of the globe. The idea of a Bermuda Triangle is of relatively recent origin, though researchers have identified many disappearances from the area dating back centuries. The greatest part of the mystery is the question of whether there is a mystery at all, for many scientists state that the rate of disappearances in the region is no any higher than in other similar areas and that there is no reason for the speculation about everything from satanic influences to extraterrestrials in the area. Both sides of the question will be considered here."

Japan's Dragon Triangle, 2008.
An analysis of how one might go about solving the mysteries of Japan's Golden Triangle.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the claims that sea vessels have been recorded missing in Japan's Dragon Triangle for more than 3000 years and how a series of unexplainable events, which are beyond the powers of us mere mortals to create, has led to the development of sensational theories, some of which have even found their way into the folk lore of the Japanese people. The paper then uses the formula presented in Theodre Schick and Lewis Vaughn's book, "How to Think about Weird Things", to try to shed some light on this phenomena. The paper claims that by using the tool provided by Schick and Vaughn, we might derive some logical conclusions and help clear the myths relating to such mysteries.
Outline:
State the Claim
Examine the Evidence for the Claim
Consider Alternative Hypothesis
Rate, According to the Criteria of Adequacy, Each Hypothesis
From the Paper
"Stating the claim is inevitable, as without stating any claim it would be impossible to examine its relevance and credibility. So it is absolutely necessary to state the claim clearly and specifically. Claims which are vague tend to mislead people and draw them away from the real purpose. In our case, of the dragon triangle, it is claimed that: Ships/ Sea vessels have been recorded missing in the triangle for more than 3000 years, huge unexpected waves, seaquakes, whirlpools and sudden change in climate, malfunction of navigational equipments such as compass deviation, non-function of radios and loss of control of vessels so on and so forth."

" Thailand's Economic Crisis and the
"Triangle of Impossibility" Economic Model
Introduction
The "Triangle of Impossibility" economic model theorizes that it is dangerous, if not impossible for a small economy to maintain three desirable (politically) yet contradictory national goals. When it does, the end result is a macroeconomic crisis like the one currently going on in Thailand today (Na Thalang, 1997, 14). The three paths that Thailand is pursuing, suggests Na Thalang, are a fixed foreign exchange regime, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy. After a brief economic snapshot of Thailand, these three divergent paths will be explored to determine if: A) the theory is valid, and B) if it.."

Bermuda Triangle, 1994.
An argument that the disappearances of ships and planes in the Atlantic Ocean region are not caused by paranormal interference.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 5 sources, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The area of the Atlantic Ocean designated The Bermuda Triangle is so named because one of its corner points is the island of Bermuda. The Devil's Triangle, a popular alternative name for the area, has been examined extensively by journalists and filmmakers seeking either an insight into paranormal happenings attributed to the region or in need of a quick story to legitimize tax deduction expenses claimed for vacation trips to the locale. In either event, the stories abound. By the same token, the proliferation of stories means that Bermuda Triangle mysteries represent a small cottage industry wherein fact and fabrication are often inextricably melded. Are there natural explanations for the many ships and planes lost in the Bermuda Triangle, or are paranormal activities in evidence here? This paper will refute the claims to paranormal interference in human..."

Abstract
This paper explores several key concepts related to Fire Safety Management. Specifically, the paper looks at the following concepts in greater detail: Fire protection/suppression systems, building construction, exit drill in the home (EDITH), and other home safety programs.
Introduction
Fire Protection/Suppression Systems
Building Construction ? Fire Proofing
Triangle Shirtwaste Factory Fire 1911
EDITH ? Exit Drills in the Home ? Home Safety Programs
The ?Science? Behind Fire Safety and Protection
Prevention
Conclusions/Recommendations
From the Paper
"Planning and preparation are often the key to safety in the event of a fire or any other emergency. The lessons learned in an emergent situation are often critical to prevention of damage in future emergencies. Fire protection and suppression systems were created with safety in mind; these systems fulfill some basic needs including detection, notification and suppression of fires. Alarm systems are obviously structured to notify occupants of a building in the event that a fire occurs. They also serve to summon the assistance of firefighters should an emergent situation occur. Alarm systems were not always required in commercial manufacturing plants. A majority of older structures in fact had very few protective structures in place to ensure the safety of occupants and firefighters. These standards have changed however in contemporary times. Use of fire alarm systems often goes hand in hand with fire suppression systems, which act to reduce the severity of a fire once started. In some instances, in the case of a small fire, a fire suppression system may be all that is necessary to put a fire out."
