Abstract
This paper discusses the power and peril of the American presidency in the film "13 Days" by director Roger Donaldson. The paper illustrates the urgency, suspense, and paralyzing chaos of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The paper contends that the movie demonstrates the best and worst of communication between individuals and groups and, in particular, the difficulties of bringing people to consensus when their views differ widely.
From the Paper
"Kenny O?Connell is Chief of Staff and Political Advisor for President John F. Kennedy. They have been friends for many years, and O?Connell serves as Kennedy?s political advisor. He often displays an authoritarian style as team leader. The events that unfold in this movie take place during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when U-2 spy planes discover Soviet missiles that could easily hit the United States being installed in the U.S.S.R.?s ally, Cuba. Kenneth O?Connell, as portrayed in this movie, is shown to be a man with multiple communication styles that he adjusts from setting to setting. Much of the time he speaks in a very authoritarian way and with considerable finality, but when high-level decisions are being made, he listens to everyone with respect and does not issue orders. However, when it is part of his job to follow through and make sure those group decisions are followed, he does so efficiently and aggressively."

Abstract
This paper explains that the beginning of Matthew 16:13-18 reveals the transforming perspective of the disciples towards Christ, who becomes fully established in a formative, substantive plan. The author points out that the original Greek, NIV and NASB versions of the passage of "Matthew 16:13-17" are rife with lexicological curiosities, thematic complexity and literary tools used for significant theological debate. The paper relates that these verses of Christological preeminence for their establishment of the foundation of Christ as the accepted Son of God are as interesting to academic scholars as to theologians.
From the Paper
"After expressing gratitude and pride in the faith of Simon Peter, Jesus then proclaims, "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." (16:18) The exegetical dilemma provided by 16:18 is to establish what the "rock" of which Jesus speaks actually is. Historically, Rome has connected Simon's last name, what we call Peter (Pevtro), and the word rock (pevtra) with liturgical emphasis, contesting that it implies that Simon himself is the rock. At the same time, most Protestant scholars reject this claim, largely positioning themselves into two different theoretical camps."

Abstract
This paper discusses chapter 13 of Anthony Shadid's chronicle of the American military's recent experience in Baghdad, "Night Draws Near." The paper discusses the title of the chapter, "A Bad Muslim" and then looks specifically at American incomprehension of the Middle East and how it is a reoccurring pattern in American history. The paper looks at how Shadid's chapter 13 reflects this incomprehension.
From the Paper
"American incomprehension of the Middle East is a reoccurring pattern in American history. It lies partially misunderstanding of how America's close ties with Israel make it seem partisan in Arab eyes, not a neutral force as it regards itself, in its own democratic vision. It lies partially in the American ideal of secularism that is so anathema to the Middle East. Americans thought that ancient rivalries in Iraq could be swept away with new a new form of governance, with democratic ideals that America regards as universal ideals, and with superior but just military force. America thought that the terrors of the Saddam Hussein regime were enough to eradicate the hatred of America and the ideology of militant Islam. Instead, the chaos of civil war made religion and the identity afforded by nationalism even more comforting to Iraqis. Of course, it is not only in the Middle East that America has made this mistake: "Their destiny will be the same as in Vietnam," says one Iraqi (285). Hearing unfortunate American involvement in a foreign land analogized with Vietnam is nothing new for Americans, but it sounds especially chilling in the voice of an Iraqi, not just in the voice of an American critiquing the Iraqi war."

Mark 2:13-17, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Mark 2:13-17, within his quest to enlighten those with his love, Jesus delivered the message that it is the rich who are truly the sick ones. The author points out that Jesus now attempts to call upon the Jewish tax collectors, who despise him the most for his teachings. The paper relates that not only hatred, which the Jewish Philistines had for Jesus, is reflected in this passage; but also it depicts the supernatural power that Jesus had over those that had contact with him.
From the Paper
"Jesus is consciously taking his missionary vision to the upper middle classes. The attention that he seeks to attain reflects his goal of finding those in power, helping these 'sinners' to understand the plight of the poor and the helpless through his example of love and forgiveness. His command over Levi is relates the divine power Jesus had to consume and convert those that did not initially believe by his message. 2. Jesus has provided a message that it is the rich who are truly the sick ones within his quest to enlighten those with his love. He now attempts to call upon the Jewish tax collectors that despise him the most for his teachings."

From the Paper
"The typical American child spends 30 percent of his waking hours in front of a television set. For most children, this adds up to between 28 and 33 hours per week of TVwatching. Small wonder, then, that many people are concerned about the effects of television, particularly television commercials, on youngsters. Advertisers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their persuasive techniques in this age of deregulation, and children are still the easiest targets of all. In this paper we will examine the impact of TV commercials on children under 13, with special attention to current research, the discrimination between fantasy and reality, the desire for products, the effects on children's attention spans, styles of ad presentation, and some effects on family life."

Abstract
This paper explains that Mark is the second Gospel in the New Testament, the shortest of the four Gospels, and the first to be written. The author points out that this book, which was likely composed between AD 65-70, after Peter and Paul died, was probably written in Rome for a Gentile audience. The paper relates that Mark's Gospel is known as the Gospel of Action because it records the eighteen miracles Christ performed, many of which are also described in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
From the Paper
"Mark is the second Gospel in the New Testament, the shortest of the four Gospels, and also the first to be written. The book was likely composed between AD 65-70, after Peter and Paul died. It was probably written in Rome for a Gentile audience. Mark's Gospel is known as the "Gospel of Action" because it records the eighteen miracles Christ performed, many of which are also described in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. I have selected for exegesis one particular passage, Mark 2:13-17. Within Chapter 2 of Mark, there is no delineation of time, so the events would appear to have occurred on the same day that Jesus forgave and healed the paralytic (2:1-12). This event and the event of 2:12-17 take place in Capernaum while large crowds follow Jesus. Jesus calls Levi, the tax collector, to follow him -- and he does. "

"MORPHINE
Morphine is given for the relief of moderate to severe pain. It can be given in tablet form, or injection, or intravenous infusion, depending on the severity of pain and the duration of administration necessary. Morphine provides analgesia and sedation.
The precise method of analgesic action of morphine is unknown, but central nervous system opiate receptors have been found throughout the brain and spinal cord, and are likely to play a role in the analgesic effects of morphine. Once absorbed, morphine is distributed to skeletal muscle, kidney, liver intestinal tract, lungs, spleen, and brain. Virtually all of the dose is converted to glucuronide metabolites. Approximately 50 percent of the dose which will reach the.."

Abstract
This paper asserts that many people today simply do not realize just how close the world came to nuclear war when John F. Kennedy and Nikita S. Khrushchev squared off for 13 tense days during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. The paper claims that given the highly secretive nature of the Soviet regimen during this period in history, it is unlikely that many average citizens were aware of what was taking place during this fateful 13-day period in history. Despite these constraints, much has been learned since 1962 about what took place behind closed doors in Moscow and Washington and this paper investigates this information to determine what part Nikita S. Khrushchev played in negotiating the compromise and the response of the Soviet leadership of the day. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, the Cuban Missile Crisis is generally remembered as lasting for just thirteen days (from October 16-28), beginning with the point at which Washington discovered that active construction was taking place in Cuba to install launch facilities for Soviet medium-range missiles, to the day the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Khrushchev, publicly and formally agreed to withdraw missiles from Cuba. As part of the eventual compromise that was reached, President Kennedy guaranteed that the United States would not invade Cuba. More comprehensive accounts of the missile crisis extend beyond these immediate 13 days to include the period from October 28 to November 20 as well, when intensive negotiations were conducted that more fully set forth and codified the agreements had been reached, the period when the U.S. naval blockade was lifted, and the special alert status of the military forces of both countries had ended."

From the Paper
"Well, Honeycutt got what he wanted. The C Company found fourteen enemy bodies lying around. So again, the morning started with the Americans striking the enemy with bombing, air strikes, and ceaseless artillery. Honeycutt however made the C Company cease fire. Honeycutt told Sanders to stop finding an avenue to the top of the mountain, realizing that D Company's three brutal days in the ravine was enough. Instead he planned his fight on the mountain with A Company in the lead. The 1/506th was supporting the A Company. But the 1/506th was in trouble. The enemy of course prevented the 1/506th from getting to the mountain to help get the attack started. Because he didn't have 1506th help he called off the attack. He was frustrated. This might even begin the ending of the battle."

Analysis of Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"
From the Paper
"With an already developed hatred for the Jews and belief that the Germans were the superior race, Hitler, in the midst of the World War I, had strengthened his political ideology. Disillusioned by the loss of the Germans in the war, Hitler began boldly expressing his views against anti-Semitism. As a young soldier, he was given the opportunity to share with his fellow soldiers his political thinking and beliefs as he was appointed as an educational officer for the German Army. Shirer also disclosed how Hitler's investigation of the German Workers' Party led to his becoming a member of the said party, then eventually conjoined this part with that of the National Socialism."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Jewish religion, like most major religions, has its own set of rituals and festivals, which offers its followers a sense of belonging and helps them attain a greater sense of commitment to their religious beliefs. The author points out that the weekly ritual of Sabbath, which takes place on Friday and ends on Saturday, during which Jewish people refrain from working, is based on the belief that God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. The paper relates that Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, which falls on the 10th day of the month of Tishri, during which Jews are urged to fast except old or sick people or children under the age of 13.
From the Paper
"Rosh Hashanah is also an important day for ridding one's self of sins. It is believed that if the first day of Rosh Hashanah doesn't fall on Sabbath, then people should go to the seashore and cleanse themselves of their sins of the past one year. The casting away of sins has given rise to the ceremony of Tashlich which is based on the words of the prophet Micah, "Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." In this ceremony, sins are cast away in the sea. But as popular and important as this ceremony may have become, it doesn't appear in the Talmud, and the Gaonim have never mentioned it in any of their writings."

The Doctrine of Eclipse and the Indian Constitution, 2008.
Analyzes decided legal cases to study the doctrine of eclipse and the Indian Constitution.

Abstract
This paper defines the doctrine of eclipse and its relationship to the Indian Constitution. The author points out that, by virtue of this doctrine, the legislature can simply revive an inconsistent pre-constitutional law by amending the Constitution. This results in legislative inertia. Thus, the paper concludes the doctrine largely benefits the executive and not the people.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Nature and Scope
Research Questions
Doctrine of Eclipse
Applicability of Doctrine of Eclipse with regard to Post-Constitutional Laws
Article 13(1) is Not Retrospective
Distinction between Unconstitutionality from Lack of Legislative Competence and from Violation of Constitutional Limitations on Legislative Power
Distinctions between Article 13 (1) and 13 (2)
Supreme Court Decisions which point out the Distinctions between Articles 13 (1) and 13 (2) of the Constitution
Distinction between Voidness in the case of Pre-Constitutional Law and Post-Constitutional Law
Amendment can Revive a Pre-Constitutional Law but not a Post-Constitutional Law Declared Invalid
A Critical Analysis of Doctrine of Eclipse
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The amendment to the Constitution can revive pre-Constitutional laws if it removes the inconsistency associated with that law. This is by virtue of the application of doctrine of eclipse on pre-Constitutional laws which were not still born and would exist though eclipsed on account of the inconsistency to govern pre-existing matters. In the case of post-Constitution laws, they would be still born to the extent of the contravention. This would mean that the doctrine of eclipse is inapplicable in this case. There is no scope for the revival of a post-Constitutional law by an amendment of the Constitution."
