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
A paper which explores major documents of actions taken by women groups, which advanced their cause between the 1700s and the mid-1800s, and which culminated in the Woman?s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls in New York. Texts by Benjamin Wadsworth, Abigail Adams and James Wilson are discussed, as well as the 'Declaration of Sentiments' - the document which culminated from the Seneca Falls Convention and became the basis for American feminism.
From the Paper
"The chief role played by women was motherhood, according to a prominent publication in the mid-19th century, The Mother?s Magazine. This was because it was mothers who directed the formation of habits in their children. The magazine set apart these habits as industry and business-mindedness. Habits, the magazine emphasized, were everything in the forming of character, and mothers are on top of the situation in forming habits among children. He reminded readers that the immortal works and contributions of great men and women in all disciplines throughout history always gave due honor to those who directed their growth ? their mothers. Since the Americas were then in a steady economic, political and cultural development, reading materials encouraged the formation of industries. That diligence needed by the times was in the hands of mothers who not only bore their children?s bodies but also shaped their character. Mothers could even incline their children towards certain skills or occupations. They had such great influence, which they should use to benefit society."

The Seneca Falls Convention and the Origin of the Feminist Movement, 2002.

Abstract
In 1848 an abolitionist convention was held in Seneca Falls. This paper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the Seneca Falls convention's final product: The Declaration of Sentiments - a document which contains a comprehensive listing of gender based injustices all of which the women in the convention vowed to abolish. The author of the paper draws a comparison between the Declaration of Sentiments and the American Declaration of Independence and touches on how the document related to African-Americans.
From the Paper
"Every great social movement has a beginning. Very often, it is a great challenge to determine these exact origins. The women?s rights or feminist movement is not different in this respect. It is not surprising that many ongoing discussions continue about this exact topic. The ?Declaration of Sentiments? is probably not the very first piece of feminist writing, but it did signify that feminists would ac-cept nothing but a major change in the way that society treated women. The same was true for the Decla-ration of Independence. It was not the first pro-independence work created, but it did finalize the Continental Congress? decision to leave English rule. The Seneca Falls Convention is a significant event in the history of the abolitionist movement thus it is worthwhile to consider it closely."

"Niagara Falls", 2008.
This paper analyzes a nineteenth century poem, "Niagara Falls," by James K. Liston.
895 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines what Liston's poem "Niagara Falls" tells us about the preoccupations and concerns of nineteenth century Canadians vis-a-vis the natural world. The paper attempts to convey the changing attitudes of the general public towards the falls as the tough climate of Upper Canada gradually fell under the control of humanity. The paper presents a copy of the poem as an appendix to the paper.
From the Paper
"To begin with, there are many ideas expressed in Liston's nineteenth-century work - ideas that suggest the sublime nature of the falls, the overwhelming grandeur and scale of the Canadian wilderness, and the exoticism of the New World. For instance, the poem opens with a stirring apostrophe to Niagara Falls that portrays it as a metaphor for nature's power over man: "Enduring monument of Power Divine!/Thou Stand'st alone - unmatch'd, unrival'd Falls" (Liston, lines 2 and 16-17). At the same time, there is a deliberate attempt on the part of the poet to associate the falls with military imagery: "Those vapors dense, which rise unceasingly,/With the rude noise, like man's artillery/Proclaim the watery conflict, and point out,/ to distant travelers, 'Niagara Falls'" (Liston, lines 19-22)."

'Whylah Falls' & 'Araby', 2006.
An Understanding of power and gender in 'Whylah Falls' by George Elliot Clarke and 'Araby' by James Joyce.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 77.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the short stories 'Whylah Falls' by George Elliot Clarke and 'Araby' by James Joyce, providing a gender reversal objective, which often places women in positions of power over patriarchal institutions. The paper discusses how in many cases, Joyce defies the Roman Catholic patriarchy that denies women power to dominate men through sensuality or their sexual design. Clarke, in a similar manner, provides Selah as a powerful woman that can pick and choose her male victims.
From the Paper
"In this literature study, the power of women is provided in "Whylah Falls" by George Elliot Clarke and "Araby" by James Joyce through the scope of gender roles. In the short story by Joyce, the objectivity of a woman defies the often Catholic morality that denies sexual relations before marriage. For Clarke, the sensuality of women also defies the social gender norms that define woman as subjective and without any real power to manipulate the men they desire. In this manner, both authors challenge conventional gender norms by allocating more initiative for women in their stories, marking them as aggressive and intelligent in their acquisition for power over men."

»

Abstract
This paper is about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the effects it has had on society and still has on society today. The paper contains a discussion of different theories, information on war and about people in the East and West Berlin as well as an account of the symbolic meaning the fall of the Berlin Wall holds.
From the Paper
"On November 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall collapsed. This marked the disappearance of the Iron Curtain, and more importantly, signified the end of the Cold War. For years, East and West Berlin had been divided. This division separated families, caused thousands of escape attempts, and was to many, symbolic of Winston Churchill?s famous Iron Curtain Speech. It is only now, over a decade after the wall was opened, that one can appreciate the suffering, struggles, devastation, and victories that surrounded this twelve-foot high monument of the unwillingness to succumb to communism."

Organizers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Agenda of action to overturn injustices against women.
From the Paper
"The Seneca Falls Convention was held on July 19 and 20 in 1848 at the small town of Seneca Falls, New York. The purpose of the convention was to stimulate discussion about the "social, civil and religious" (qtd. in Bittner 1) limitations of women and raise the social awareness of the participants. During that era, women's liberties were severely restricted in the following ways: 1) Women were not allowed to vote; 2) They were not permitted to create laws that affected their interests; 3) Their property was taxed by the government; 4) Married women had no legitimate claims to their property and wages, which belonged to their husbands; 5) Divorced women did not possess custody over their children; 6) Women were not permitted to attend institutions of higher education; 7) They were not allowed to work in professional occupations; and 8) Women could not take ..."

Abstract
This is a concise paper explaining the symptoms of MS as well as the difficulty involved with diagnosing the disease. It explains the cases for some accepted potential causes and also examines the different types of MS. The three drugs used most commonly to treat MS - Avonex, Copaxone, and Beta-Seron - are compared and contrasted, and the pros and cons are duly noted. Paper written by an MS sufferer who also details her own experiences with the disease.
From the Paper
"In normal human beings, the immune system will spot and attack threats to the human body, like viruses or harmful bacteria. In a person with MS, the immune system sees myelin as one of these threats. Immune system cells come into the central nervous system and start attacking the myelin sheath, creating an autoimmune response - when the human body attacks itself. On these demyelinated areas, lesions known as "plaque" develop. The plaques eventually turn into scar tissue, sclerosis, in many different locations, which is where the name "multiple sclerosis" comes from. Thus, people with MS are more or less walking around with scars on their nerves."

"The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls" ( Alfred, Lord Tennyson ), 1999.

From the Paper
" OUTLINE
I. Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls" uses elements of song (lyrics), music, and rhyme to convey the suggestion or feeling that human life seems to end with death, but in fact continues through the "echoes" of love and longing shared by individuals.
A. The use of the bugle as the central image gives the poem a musical basis, for the bugle denotes both death, as in "Taps," and the longing of the living to remain connected to the dead.
II. The poem qualifies as a song in its brevity, its expression of the feelings or thoughts of an individual speaker, and in the absence of narrative. The song conveys a mood or feeling rather than a story, and gives to the reader not a philosophical.."

"Paradise Lost" and "The Fall of the House of Usher", 2006.
A review of the divine fall of John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and the secular fall of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher".

Abstract
This paper compares the secular fall in the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe and the divine fall within the epic theological poem "Paradise Lost" by John Milton. The paper reports that the theme of falling from grace is common to both, but in the first it is a secular fall whereas in the second it is a divine, spiritual fall.
From the Paper
"However, Poe, while rendering the Biblical figures into a mortal, temporal context, seems to suggest that there is an inherently fallen quality that is irredeemable in some person's souls, like Roderick and Fanny Usher. "Poe mocks the transcendental beliefs, by allowing the characters Roderick Usher, Madeline Usher, the house and the atmosphere to travel in a downward motion into decay and death, rather than the upward transcendence into life and rebirth that the transcendentalists depict. The transcendence of the mind begins with Roderick Usher and is reflected in the characters and environment around him." (Nadeau, 2000) Thus view of the Ushers may be overly harsh--Poe's tone is often not mocking, but elegiac, sympathizing with the downward sinking of the home, and his inversion of the Adam and Eve creation myth, whereby the Usher's failure to procreate and look beyond their union results in the death of their home and line, is not necessarily paraodic, but a warning against self-absorption and narcissism. The fact that tragedy of fallen nature of the Ushers, and the darkness of the house also do not present a perfect parallel either with Milton's Adam and Eve or with the transcendentalist's sunny view of the soul aspiring upwards suggests that the Usher's narcissism deliberately recalls another Miltonic figure, one of arrogance rather than temptation.

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of physical or chemical restraints as a preventive measure against falls in elderly patients. It analyzes the literature which implies that restraints do not decrease the incidence of falls and questions whether restraints should still be used to prevent falls in elderly patients in nursing homes. The paper then provides some recommendations to the problem.

From the Paper
"A decrease in mental status, with or without psychoactive drug use, and a perceived risk for falls was associated with subsequent restraint use, reiterating the need for patient assessment and treating the underlying condition rather than relying on restraints. Pharmacological assessment of psychotropic drugs, cardiovascular and neurological assessment of nursing home residents should be carried out in at-risk patients for falls (Lyons, 2004, Recommendation A). At-risk patients with a pertinent history for the above should be reviewed and acted upon accordingly and avoidance of restraint use due to the increased risk of falls and injuries (Lyons, 2004; Park, Hsiao-Chen Tang & Ledford, 2005, Recommendation A)."

Abstract
The dissertation looks at the history of communism in Poland and its fall. The dissertation then looks at the economy of Poland, the main natural resources, the economy under Communism, the centrally planned economy, and the economy after the fall of Communism. The dissertation then moves on to looking at the processes of marketization and stabilization in Poland and the macroeconomic indicators for the crucial 1990-1991 period. The privatization process in Poland follows, and the subsequent structure of the economy is analyzed. The main markets supporting the economy, i.e., fuels and energy, industry, agriculture, fishing and forestry, banking and finance, and foreign trade are examined. Once the economic history of Poland has been discussed and analyzed, the dissertation then moves to looking at how Polish companies have reacted to ethical issues and changes in business standards since the fall of communism in 1989. This takes the form of looking, principally, at what constitutes ethical business in Poland, how ethical business is regulated and monitored in Poland, how changes have been made so far in business ethics in Poland since the fall of Communism, and how these changes relate to changes over the same period at an international level. A discussion of the merits of entering into the EU, in terms of business ethics, is also provided.

From the Paper
"Poland's climate features moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall that enable cultivation of most temperate-zone crops, including all the major grains, several industrial crops, and several varieties of fruit (www.countrystudies.us/poland.htm). Crops are distributed according to the substantial regional variations in soil and length of growing season (www.countrystudies.us/poland.htm). The sandy soils of the central plains are most suitable for rye, the richer soil in the south favors wheat and barley, and the poorer soil of the north is used for oats (www.countrystudies.us/poland.htm). All parts of Poland favor potato cultivation; sugar beets, the most important industrial crop, grow mainly in the west and southeast (www.countrystudies.us/poland.htm)."

Abstract
This paper explores the state of Man prior to the fall in the Garden of Eden and Man's relationship with God. The paper then uses this exploration as a basis for understanding the effects that sin has on the world. The paper explains that the loss of direct communication between Man and God has resulted in the need for Man to find alternative forms of communication.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The state of man before the fall is not something that can be concretely ascertained anymore. Most theologians hypothesize that man had a purer nature which, rather than allowing him to naively follow the Lord's commands without thought, allowed for a clearer mind frame, perhaps even augmenting his intelligence and reasoning capabilities far beyond what they are now. While the state of man before the fall is not entirely possibly to construct, his relationship with God is. Clearly there has been a falling away from God. In the Garden direct face to fact communication allowed for little to no confusion between what God meant for man to do, should confusion occur, God was right there to clear it up. After the fall, God had to rely on a new method for man to eventually be allowed back into His presence: salvation through Jesus Christ. However, communicating His new plan now had limitations that were not present within the Garden. Sin, with its clouding effect upon humanity, has built a barrier between God and humanity. God breaches this barrier through both methods of general and special revelation."
