Abstract
This paper contrasts the various fingerprint recovery techniques, including physical, laser and chemical development and examines their advantages and disadvantages. The paper provides a detailed discussion of the fundemental principles of fingerprint analysis as used in forensic science. The importance of fingerprint analysis and its relevance and value as evidence are also main topics presented in the paper.
From the Paper
"Surface conditions, colour and texture all play a role in the determination that the technician makes as to which method of analysis would be most suitable. Fingerprints are of three varieties: visible, plastic and latent. Visible fingerprints are those in which the fingers are covered, for example with blood or paint touch a wall, door frame, or similar surface. Plastic fingerprints are those left in soft substances such as soap or putty. The most common are latent (invisible) prints, which can be detected by using powders, chemicals or lasers. (Conklin, Gardner, and Shortelle 2002: 112) There are numerous ways to retrieve fingerprints and depending on the situation, one method may be more successful than another."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of fingerprint identification. Additionally, it discusses why fingerprinting has become the number one identification tool in forensic science, and describes the basic patterns of fingerprints. The contributions of Henry Faulds, known as the Father of Fingerprinting, and other researchers in this area are also presented. In addition, the paper also examines certain cases of incorrect fingerprint identification that have thrown doubt on the long-recognized infallibility of fingerprints as an identification tool in criminology. The author concludes that the uniqueness and permanence of fingerprints have made it an indispensable identification tool that has been employed for crime fighting by the law enforcing agencies for more than 100 years

From the Paper
"Evidence exists that fingerprints were used on clay tablets in business transactions in Ancient Babylon as long as 3000 years ago and thumbprints were used on clay seals to "sign" documents in China in the 3rd century B.C. This indicates that human beings realized the significance of such patterns, but perhaps did not fully understand, thousands of years before their potential was actually realized. (Meaney, 2006) Wall etchings found in Nova Scotia, Canada, also shows a hand with ridge patterns sketched on it dating from the first century AD and official government documents preserved from the Tang Dynasty in China (610-907 AD) and Persia (14th century AD) have fingerprint impressions on them. In the Persian documents from the same period, one government physician has noted that no two fingerprints were an exact match. (Ibid.) "

From the Paper
"In fingerprinting deceased people, the fingerprint classification gear: taking straight from fingers is used, and the designs are registered on DD Form 894. The fingerprint gear holds a carrying case, a cleaning liquid pot, black printer's ink, a spoon-or shovel-type cardholder, a tabletop cardholder, an inking slab or plate, and an inking roller. Also integrated is a dental tentative mirror used to scrutinize teeth for diagrams. When the fingers are elastic, it is often probable to obtain finger imitations of a lately deceased person by exploiting the regular inking procedure. Victorious prints can be acquired with the decedent lying on his rear with hands curved palm down by his side."

Abstract
This paper discusses fingerprints and fingerprinting. The author gives a historical account of criminological use of fingerprinting. Included in the paper are photos of various types of standard fingerprints, as well as scientific methods used in fingerprinting today.
From the Paper
"Fingerprints are unique markings that provide a means of permanent identification; there are many ways to obtain them from various surfaces in order to identify a suspect in the hopes of solving a crime, or they also can exonerate the falsely accused. Human interest in fingerprints can be traced as far back as the time of the Bible, which makes a reference to ?the prints from man?s hand?"

From the Paper
"Other methods such as ninhydrin coloring and luminescence detection suing DFO reagent are more sensitive and hence effective even with lesser traces of the substrate (range of 100 to 200ng and 1 to 10ng respectively) In some cases after initial treatment with ninhydrin, zinc and cadmium salt treatment can be used to enhance luminescence. Physical development can be used separately or in addition to DFO treatment. This process is similar to the common photographic development process using silver nitrate solution. (Dr Chris Lennard (2001)). Arches, whorls, loops and composites are the four different patterns under which fingerprints are classified. Earlier, comparing fingerprints used to be manual and time consuming. Today, however computers can match a persons fingerprint with more than a million fingerprints stored in its database in a few seconds. This is possible because the FBI and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) use automated fingerprint identification systems using the standardised fingerprint classification system called the FPC. The computer generates a geometric graph based on the positions of the ridge endings and the ridge branching. Experts then compare closely matching results from the computer search for exact identification. (Courtroom Television Network)."

Recovery from Mental Illness, 2004.
An examination of the psychology behind recovery from a mental illness.

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."

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."

Fingerprints as Identification, 2004.
This paper discusses the use of fingerprinting for identification and the associated problems.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although most people believe that fingerprints constitute one of the best pieces of evidence, the Supreme Court, in the case of Daubert vs. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals (1993), recently ruled that there is considerable room for questioning fingerprints as satisfactory evidence in criminal proceedings. The author relates that governmental people see fingerprints as markedly helpful for identification purposes; therefore, they now will use fingerprinting of individuals visiting the United States from other countries in an attempt to curb terrorists. The paper concludes that fingerprints might come to be regarded more as an investigative tool than the ironclad evidence they were once considered to be, pushed aside by more precise approaches, such as DNA analysis.
From the Paper
"Fingerprints are analyzed by looking at the patterns of the ridges, including places where they stop, or split (called ?Galton points?), as well as other details, including the location of pores in the skin. Although several systems have been devised to attempt to identify fingerprints in a systematic way, in the end the accuracy of identification depends on the skills of the fingerprint expert trying to make the match. While the computer system eliminates some human error it has not yet been accepted as suitable for court evidence."

Abstract
This paper explains the purpose of a disaster recovery center (DRC) facility and how it is utilized whenever there is a disaster. Some services that a DRC might offer include guidance relating to disaster recovery, clarifying correspondence, information relating to assistance for housing and rental resource, resolving problems and referrals to other agencies and providing status of the applications being processed. The paper also provides different examples of how these facilities are utilized.
From the Paper
"One example of a typical disaster recovery center is that of the HyperTec Group, a Canadian VAR. This company has decided to take disaster recovery to the next level of functioning, in which the initial idea of building an enormous business continuity and disaster recovery center has been implemented with great success. This BDCR centre is located in Montreal, and it will purportedly be able to provide office accommodation for more than 3,500 workers, while at the same time providing 40,000 feet of high availability, all in the eventuality of a disaster in which the original data of the company may be lost. HyperTec manages and also monitors all the workstations and network switches so that its clients would be able to start working in these premises almost immediately after a disaster, both man-made and natural. According to Bob Novek, his team and himself are all fully aware of the importance that they would play if there is a disaster, and the company, albeit unfortunately, loses its valuable data. They also realize the importance of downtime, he states, and "...they've seen the need that they can't afford to go down". (Hickey, 2006, Oct)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the various stages of a proposed study program aimed at teaching children who have to endure kidney transplants how to be an active part of their own recovery process. The writer explains each stage of the program and stipulates the objectives and goals.
From the Paper
"With an understanding of the process the patient will be able to cooperate with the nursing staff and will more actively participate in the process. From this program, we expect that our audience (pediatric patients who have gone through kidney transplant) will develop a reasonable level of knowledge base that will help the patients in gaining faster recovery and will help the staff in performing their job easily because they will be interacting with an educated patient who understands the problems and challenges faced by the nursing staff in performing this job."

General
From the Paper
"Clients can find the Threshold programs in a variety of ways. One manner in which they can enter the program also reflects the community involvement for which this organization is so well known. The Community Outreach program, called the Assertive Community Treatment program, visits the severely mentally ill wherever they make their home. This program attempts to help these individuals "avoid hospitalization and homelessness" (Thresholds, 2007, "Assertive Outreach/Bridge Program")."
"The current director seeks to strengthen Thresholds' infrastructure in the future (J. Pogue, personal communication, 2007). Based on Thresholds' dynamic nature and the strength of its current infrastructure, is seems likely that Thresholds will be offering its community services for a long time to come."

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."

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."
