Abstract
This paper argues the benefits of a four day work week, which would mean working the traditional 40 hours a week at 10 hours a work day. The paper claims that this would increase productivity, increase employee motivation and result in significant cost reduction. The paper uses the example of a county health department.
From the Paper
"The current working arrangement at the County Health Department includes a five day work week of eight hours each day. An alternative to this would be to introduce a four day work week of ten hours each day, with every Friday a day off. This four day work week would increase productivity, increase employee motivation and result in significant cost savings for the department."

The Raramuri's Observance of Holy Week, 2008.
An examination of the Raramuri's observance of semana santa, otherwise known as Holy Week.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Raramuri, who are the second largest group of indigenous people living in Mexico today. The paper specifically analyzes their unique blending of indigenous and Mexican/Spanish rituals, most notably exhibited during semana santa, otherwise known as Holy Week. The paper suggests that preserving the Holy Week ritual provides an expression of the community's uniqueness and ability to survive in a world that the community has long rejected.
From the Paper
"The Easter Holy Week celebration today has become a great draw for tourists, and provided much-needed income for the Raramuri. The outsiders "marvel" as the Raramuri wear their traditional, colored clothing and play drums and flutes ("Tarahumara," 2007, Mexico Online). However, not all encroachments by modernity have produced such positive results. As more and more Raramuri have been driven to look for work in the cities, the centrality of drink in their culture, removed from its native context has meant that many have sought solace getting drunk "on a couple of beers or a bottle of tequila" rather than make tesguino and "share it with everyone" (Burnett, 2007). This further illustrates how preserving the Holy Week ritual provides an expression of the community's uniqueness and ability to survive in a world that the community has long rejected, and also how presence of beer in religious rituals provides an important sense of release of emotions in a contained format, that is lost outside of the confines of the ritual space and time of the Easter week celebration."

Abstract
This paper first describes Union Inspection Notices (known as UINs) and compares them with Australian Provisional Improvement Notices (PINs). The second part looks at the role of trade union?s health and safety representatives in the United Kingdom and Australia. The paper also attempts to assess the impact UINs might have on the Health and Safety Executive?s safety inspectors and on trade unions. The conclusion includes a summary of the main points and an attempt to decide whether UINs are beneficial for trade unions.
What are UINs?
When Should UINs Be Used?
Where Did the Idea of UINs Come From?
So, Are PINs Better than UINs?
Are UINs Widely Used?
Do Trade Unions Improve Health and Safety?
Is It a Question of Culture?
Are Many PINs Issued?
How Would the Use of UINs Impact on the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Unions?
From the Paper
"When the Trades Union Congress (the TUC) introduced UINs in 2001, they were described as formal notices issued to employers by accredited trade union safety representatives. The purpose of UINs is to register the view that employers have not complied with health and safety legislation concerning specified workplace hazards. In particular, UINs describe action required to comply with legal requirements and specify deadlines for completion of the requested action (Hazards, magazine 76, 2001, pp:17-20)."

Abstract
This paper examines how both Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are often heralded as cinematic comedic pioneers. It looks at how, in both of their respective short films, entitled ?The Tramp? and ?One Week,? each comedian makes use of common stereotypes of women and also the common stereotypes of romantic relationships between men and women, to illustrate their comedic creations? personality deviations from the conventional masculine roles of domestic success. It discusses how the men in the two films function as failures in the domestic realm and how this parallels both their failures in conventional life and successes at comedic life.
From the Paper
"The film ?One Week,? like ?The Tramp,? revolves around the theme of domesticity and building a home. However, unlike ?The Tramp,? ?One Week? is a parody of modernity, and is not sit in a far-off idyllic landscape of the countryside. The newly married couple, receives, as a wedding present, a supposedly easy-to-assemble mobile home. Keaton?s failures to find the home so easy to assemble form the crux of the film. If only Keaton were the stereotypical ?male? he should be able to do so in a jiffy, runs the subtext of the film. However, Keaton?s failure to do so does not necessarily count against him, as the project seems absurd from the beginning and his rival makes things even more difficult by interfering and switching the labels on the packing crates."

Mandatory Drug Education Week in The United States--
Why Schools Must Play a Significant Role in Youth Drug Education
As the primary social institution for most developing children, schools can have a significant impact on adolescent health behavior and can play an essential role in adolescent health promotion.

From the Paper
"As the primary social institution for most developing children, schools can have a significant impact on adolescent health behavior and can play an essential role in adolescent health promotion. Schools serve all children regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or health insurance status; thus, they are a logical place to provide coordinated health education and health services to a nation's children (DHHS, 1991, p. 434). A successful drug education program requires intense, interactive skills training to provide students with the long-term ability to resist using drugs. A mandatory drug education week with curriculum-specified follow-up throughout the school year is the only effective means of educating students fully on the consequences of drug use and the skills necessary to avoid such consequences successfully."

Then, when they announce the final curtain, that the patient is all out of options and the only path now is death, there are decisions to be made. Many people are afraid of dying in the clinical setting of a hospital, but they are not sure there are options. There are.?

Outline:
General Education Kindergarten
Prior to Observing Kindergarten
Preschool
From the Paper
"As I began my eight week observations however, I found that many of the ideas that I had prior to the observation period simply would not work or hold up in the reality of an everyday classroom. In addition I didn't understand how important inclusion is not only to the special needs students but to the students who are not special needs. The eight week observation period in each classroom style with each age level encouraged me to develop new ideas and beliefs about the importance of inclusion at this age level and encouraged me to be open to new ideas in regular general education as well.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) was designed to help those individuals who need to care for either a close family member with a serious medical disorder or to assist employees when a serious medical condition arrives without notice.

The paperalso relates the process by which an employee can use FMLA leave. The paper concludes that the success of this legislation has led many states to pass similar acts.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Leave Entitlement
Maintenance of Health Benefits
Job and Benefits Protection/Restoration
Notice and Certification
Illegal Acts
FMLA Case Examples
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As is the case with many federally-backed laws, the FMLA includes a number of items that are required by both parties. First, an employer is not allowed to "interfere with, or deny the existence of any right provided" by the FMLA. In addition, an employer is not allowed to "discharge or discriminate against any individual for opposing any practice or because of involvement in any proceeding related to FMLA," meaning that employers must adhere to all anti-discrimination laws within the United States."

An analysis of Prophet Daniel's vision of 70 weeks.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Prophet Daniel?s vision of 70 Weeks through interpretations, theories, views, and fulfillments, including the references to Christ and the tribulations that were experienced. With all of the critical prophecies credited to him, the paper provides insights into who Daniel was and why he felt he needed to share his wisdom. The concern for historians regarding Daniel?s work revolves around the fact that there are numerous problems confirming or even explaining some of the prophetical meanings of his passages.
From the Paper
"The name Daniel in Hebrew means God is my Judge. Daniel was one of the most important of the prophets from the Old Testament. But his prophecies also carried over into the New Testament since much of the prophecy done by Daniel correspond with the apostle John and his work in the Book of Revelation. Daniel?s acclaim and importance to the ancient Christian movement can be demonstrated by the fact that Jesus specifically referred to events from the Book of Daniel that were expected to happen prior to His return. Modern day religious scholars believe that Daniel was born a noble and maybe even an actual member of the royal family of Judah. ?Daniel thereafter held a very high position in the government for about 70 years, the actual ruler of what is modern-day Iraq, right until his famous "handwriting on the wall" interpretation on the night before the fall of the Babylonian kingdom to Darius the Mede (Daniel 5:1-29).?
